Chapter 186: The Underground Palace
"Really?" asked Cocoon Shu with an eyebrow.
Gu Wu said with a smile: "Not to mention that Yuan Ying and I are fellow countrymen, she will soon be the princess of Zhenchen, how can I come to report false news?"
Cocoon Shu raised his eyes and looked not far away, and then said coldly: "You can go." The door was closed.
The door slammed shut in front of Gu Wu's face, and he subconsciously touched his nose.
Cocoon Shu came to the side of the departed who was basking in the sun, and said indifferently:
"Lord, someone came to the palace, saying that Yuan Ying was going to stay in the palace to attend the banquet that welcomed the northerners in the evening. You see...... Are we going?"
Hearing this, Liyan slowly opened his eyes, and under the sunlight, his red eyes were shining with cold light.
"Poof......
The lying Liwu suddenly rolled over and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Lord!" Cocoon Shu was frightened by the sight in front of him, and hurriedly helped him to leave the dead, "Tang Yu said that this medicine can help the Lord slowly recover his mana, why did it become like this now?"
Li Yan raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Quiet, I should have to get out of this body in advance." β
"Then are we going back to the Demon Palace now?" asked Cocoon.
Liyan shook his head, and said with some difficulty: "No, Yuanying hasn't come back yet, I'm going to wait for her-"
However, he fainted directly halfway through his words, and at this moment, Tang Yu and Yu Han suddenly appeared beside Cocoon Shu.
Cocoon Shu hurriedly said: "The Lord has fainted." β
ββ
In the underground palace of Lingkun Palace.
All the walls of the dark and damp dungeon were covered with yellow paper with talismans drawn, and yellow ribbons fluttering on the top, which were also painted with incomprehensible talismans.
There was a place ahead where it was lit, and there was a crowd of heavily armed people around it, all the candles burning.
Surrounded in the center are two unconscious guys, a man and a woman. The man was tied to a stake with his head bowed and motionless, and the woman was lying on the ground with her hands tied behind her back.
At this moment, the dungeon was in a very quiet environment, but this silence was broken by the sound of footsteps. The person who came was the glamorous and luxurious queen.
The queen seemed to be in a good mood, and she had a smile on her face.
"Blessed is the Queen," everyone saluted.
The queen walked into the encirclement with a smile, she looked at the person lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Take a basin of water and splash this person who can't get on the table to wake up." β
Soon someone brought a basin of cold water, and the cold water poured on the face of the lying man.
The woman who was splashed with water was the Yuan Ying who was knocked unconscious!
"Ahem...... Yuan Ying, who was awakened by the cold water, coughed violently, and she slowly opened her eyes. The light of the candle made it impossible for her to see anything for a moment, but when she blinked again, everything was fine.
There were still droplets of water on her eyelashes, which made her look very pitiful.
The queen walked to the wet Yuanying with a smile, and said with a smile: "This palace has already checked your origins, worked as a maid in the National Teacher's Mansion, and then suddenly disappeared for a few days, and finally appeared in the Xuanliang army. Fortunately, Bengong made the right bet today, and your old club really came to save you. β
Yuan Ying looked ahead in confusion, then shook his head. She was a little dazed now, the back of her head hurt intensely, and she didn't know if she was going to be knocked out of her memory.
But the queen's words made her sober up a lot, and gradually her thoughts returned, her thoughts became clear, and she thought she knew what was wrong with her.
Yuan Ying rubbed his temples, looked up at the queen, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and asked in a dumb voice: "Say whatever you want." β
The queen chuckled lightly and said, "I'm very anxious." Then the palace will tell you that the palace has arrested you for nothing else, you just need to pretend to be the righteous daughter of the palace and entertain the distinguished guests of the northern kingdom tonight. β
"Huh...... Pretend to be your daughter-in-law, but I just saw Princess Myss dancing in the gazebo. Yuan Ying stared at the queen and said angrily.
The queen didn't care about her hateful gaze, and said, "It's your blessing to be the righteous daughter of this palace." You don't want to think that you, as a maid and an inferior person, suddenly marry King Zhenchen and become the princess of the main family, and become a phoenix flying on the branches.
But if you become the righteous daughter of this palace, you will be considered a princess by then, and you will be famous and well-known if you marry the king of Chenchen. β
"Huh...... How dare I refuse Niangniang's kindness, I don't know if Niangniang wants to "check my body" again next?" Yuan Ying asked with a smile, his eyes full of mockery.
"You!" the queen naturally knew what she meant, didn't she think that she wanted to check if she was white?
She guessed wrong this time!
Then the queen put on a slightly angry expression and said with a smile: "You take one last look behind you and continue to speak." β
I don't know what medicine the queen is buying in the gourd, but he can be sure that there is nothing unusual about her, which means that no one came to "check her body" during the time she was unconscious.
Yuan Ying slowly turned her head to look behind her, there was a person tied to the cross stake behind her, and she saw that the figure should be a man. She was so much better than that man.
The man's body was covered with scars, with new scars on the skin and flesh, and some that had not been scabbed over for a long time and had turned into skin scars.
The man's clothes were also tattered, and he didn't know how much blood was stained on his clothes, and his head hung weakly.
Yuan Ying frowned when she looked at it, and at the same time, a sense of familiarity also rose in her heart.
Without observing, she quickly stood up and ran to the cross, and a voice in her heart told her to hurry up and see the man's face.
Yuan Ying did the same, and she slowly lifted the man's lowered head with trembling hands......
The man's eyebrows were cut in half on both sides, there were small scars on the bridge of his stiff nose, and on his bruised cheeks were two hideous large wounds, and the bright red flesh was clearly visible.
Yuan Ying looked at this person and was stunned, her eyes suddenly became hot, and tears rushed out of her eyes.
This is not a person, this is her most trusted friend - Feng Zhu. She went into the palace to find a friend, although she didn't look for it everywhere in the palace herself, but she asked Cocoon Shu to look for it, but she didn't find it.
Cocoon Shu said that there was no breath of phoenix bamboo in the palace at all, but there was a cool one.
No wonder Cocoon Shu didn't find Feng Zhu and didn't detect his power, because ......
Yuan Ying slowly raised his eyes and quietly stared at the yellow belt hanging above his head, on which there were many incomprehensible runes clearly drawn, no need to think about it, it must be against Feng Zhu.
Otherwise, how could Fengzhu become what it is now?!
Unconsciously, Yuan Ying's wide sleeves clenched into fists, and she slowly turned to stare at the queen, she raised her eyebrows and endured her anger and said, "Just open the skylight and say something, do you want me to go and kiss Miaoxue?"
Why did she accept her as a righteous daughter to receive the envoys of the northern kingdom, it was all a blatant lie! If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly remembered that she had said that Miaoxue wanted to be married, she would not have guessed this possibility.
A smug glint flashed in the queen's eyes, and she said, "So what?"
She paused, pointed to the unconscious Feng Zhu and smiled, "If Bengong is not mistaken, he is the one who made you appear in the barracks in the first place, right?" You know what? He's a bamboo demon. β
Yuan Ying's face flushed with anger, and she yelled, "Shut up!"
The fingers of the hand under the sleeve of her shirt that were clenched into fists had begun to turn white, and the anger in her heart could be imagined.
At this moment, Yuan Ying's eyes were full of anger and cruelty, she glared at the queen angrily, but in her heart she was thinking that she had any other way than to promise the queen now?
The answer, of course, is, yes. These talismans can bind Feng Zhu, but they may not be able to bind her. She has fused her spiritual sense and has some mana, but she is only a rarity in her previous life, and she is not a half-demon.
She woke up from a coma and was here, all of them were blessed by yellow talismans, but she didn't feel any discomfort, so does it mean that these yellow talismans couldn't affect her at all?
Then she can use her mana to take Feng Zhu away?
Seeing that she had been glaring at her fiercely, the queen couldn't help but feel a fire in her heart, thinking that she had been a good person since she was born, and she had never been looked at like this.
But when she thought that Miao'er didn't have to marry far away and suffer, she felt much better. Harmony is never a long-term solution, Xuan Liang has just been defeated by the soldiers of the northern country, and the air of decadence has been permeating the entire military camp.
Now I am afraid that the Northern Congress will attack them in one fell swoop, but no, the Northern Kingdom has taken the initiative to make peace, as long as everything is discussed tonight, they will have a respite time to fight back!
However, there are many concubines in the palace, but few can give birth to an heir, and only Miaoxue is the right age to marry!
However, now if there is a righteous daughter and Miao'er is seriously ill, then all this will be different.
"Look at your cannibalistic eyes. Saying that, the queen covered her mouth and smiled again, "If you don't agree to Bengong obediently go to kiss, then don't blame Bengong for burning him." β
"You dare!" Yuan Ying said coldly, she was full of anger at this moment, "You seem to have forgotten my identity, I am about to marry King Chen, I am his fiancΓ©e!"
"FiancΓ©e? Are you worthy? It is impossible for an inferior person to marry into the royal family! But I can give you a chance, a chance to marry into the royal family, as long as you obediently listen to my arrangement, go to the northern country, marry the prince, and you can fly on the branches and become a phoenix." β
"If you don't comply, it's not just this monster that will die, but the entire Mansion. From the moment you entered the palace, the emperor sent people to surround the prince's palace where you are now living. β
Hearing this, Yuan Ying glared angrily, "What did you say?" she said word by word.
The queen ignored Yuan Ying, and she waved her hand to signal the people behind her to step forward. The palace man came up with the incense burner, and in the stove was an unlit and intact incense stick.
