1. She wants to live

Next Chapter

As the night approaches, the moonlight in Chang'an City is like water. In a remote palace room in Daming Palace, six or seven teenage girls hid in the corner and shivered, and the old grandmother smeared them with grease and powder, and changed into light and soft clothes.

You'an lowered her head and shrunk into the last seat. She was born slender and thin, looking younger than the other girls, clenching her hands and clenching the corners of her clothes, she was already terrified, but she just opened a pair of fawn-like eyes, staring at the figures coming and going, and was not frightened and crying like other girls.

They are all the families of the guilty ministers in the court, and now they have selected some good-looking girls to serve in the imperial tomb. It is said to be a service, but it is just to be dressed up, and then poured mercury hard, and put it in the mausoleum like a wax statue.

You'an twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, the nobles fought openly and secretly, and the blame fell on her subordinates, she was unwilling to die so unexplained......

Thinking quickly, her eyes swept over the two maids in gorgeous clothes waiting at the door, she heard other girls talk, it was waiting by the side of King Li Dan, all these girls who were going to be martyred must be brought to His Royal Highness King Xiang first.

You'an had grown up in the court until he was a teenager, and he was familiar with the titles and names of these princes, but he didn't have much chance to meet the deity. Xiangwang Li Dan is the youngest son of Empress Wu, who is favored in the palace, and if he wants to live, it seems that he can only think of a way in this golden and noble prince.

Every once in a while, a young girl was taken away and never returned, and the rest of the girls in the room looked frightened, looking at each other but saying nothing, until only You'an was left in the whole room.

She silently thought in her heart what posture she should use to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, who had read countless people. Although she is not noble, she has also been raised innocently and rigorously since she was a child, and such a question, as long as she thinks about it, she will immediately blush.

After a long time, no one came, and at the end of the outdoor corridor, someone seemed to be talking.

The voice of the man who had been in a high position for a long time was lazy and arrogant from his bones: "Red mud, let's send this one over directly, I don't want to see it." ”

The maidservant girl named Hongni obediently answered "yes", and asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, although the Queen of Heaven is not in the palace, but she is deaf and clear-sighted, what are you looking for ......when you bother to get these girls?"

You'an was attracted by the sentence "Queen of Heaven", her A-Niang Yunzhen used to be the female history around the Queen of Heaven, her grade was not high, but she was quite relied on by the Queen of Heaven, but later she didn't know what mistake she made, and she died of self-immolation, leaving only her and her sister to become cheap slaves in the court.

The man snorted casually, as if preparing to leave. You'an hurriedly stood up, she had to live, even if she had the slightest opportunity.

Her eyes quickly swept around the room, and saw a set of twelve half-unlocked Kong Ming locks placed on a Nanmu table by the window, which was more difficult than the ordinary six Kong Ming locks.

You'an walked over briskly, stood on tiptoe and swept it with his arm, and the wooden Kong Ming lock crackled and fell to the ground.

When he turned around, the door was wide open, and the tall man had quietly appeared in the doorway.

You'an didn't expect him to come so quickly, so he immediately knelt down and said to the cloud pattern wrapped in gold thread on the sleeves of Shu brocade: "It's a sin maid who is careless, please forgive your sins." ”

The visitor didn't speak, and You'an didn't dare to look up at his face casually, so he continued according to the steps he had planned, picked up the scattered parts from the ground, stacked them on his lap, and said in a sincere and frightened tone: "I'll put it back for you, son." ”

You'an has been fiddling with these delicate tricks with Ah Niang since she was a child, and this thing is not difficult for her, and the person who unlocked it before got it in the wrong order, so she got stuck halfway. She pushed a piece of wood off the lock, then turned the lock in the whole direction, starting from the other side, and under the flight of her ten fingers, the scattered pieces of wood were reassembled into a complete Kongming lock that was almost circular.

She raised her lock hands above her head and held them to Li Dan, the prime minister in front of her. There are such small objects in the palace room that often come and go, which shows that His Royal Highness the Prime Minister has such a small hobby on weekdays, and she will do what she likes, and may be able to exchange for a glimmer of life.

With a sudden light on his hand, Li Dan took away Kong Ming's lock, stretched out his fingers, pinched her chin and made her look up. You'an had never come into contact with a strange man like this, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Li Dan sneered: "You deliberately fiddled with that little thing, isn't it just to attract Lone's attention?" Lone is paying attention to you now, what are you hiding? ”

He grabbed the soft silk on You'an's body with both hands without mercy and tore it from his chest.
