Chapter 123: The Theft of Chu Palace (1)

Until now, Wei Nong is extremely grateful to God for giving her that opportunity.

It was the eighty-first day of the death of the queen of Chu, and a grand mourning ceremony was held in the palace for the queen. The law of the river map has clouds: "The sky is full of water, and the earth is sixty percent; The earth is two fires, and the heavens are seventy; Heaven is three trees, and the earth is eighty percent; The earth is four gold, and the sky is ninety; Heaven gives birth to earth, and the earth is ten percent". Queen Chu hit the main gold, that is, "the earth is four gold, and the sky is ninety percent", so the nine hundred and eighty-one days after her death, the king of Chu attaches great importance to it.

Since Wei Nong has not yet married Chu Li, she is not qualified to participate in the mourning, and she is still buried in the pile of old papers in Yuxiu Palace, forcing herself to memorize those boring clan classics, and occasionally she can hear the sound of the death knell from afar.

She was a little envious of Queen Chu - she was a pet in the pepper room before her death, and she was supreme mourning behind her. It's not like she is alive, but she endures a feeling that is more painful than death, as if she has been abandoned by all things in heaven and earth, and she can no longer find a place to live in this world.

Wei Nong thought like this, and hated herself even more, this Yuxiu Palace was like a gorgeous cage trapping her, making her have no way to go and nowhere to go. Seeing that dusk was approaching and the sky was getting dark, she also came back to her senses, numbly closed the book, and was accompanied by the palace maid for dinner.

I was just halfway through my meal when I heard the sound of noisy footsteps outside. Immediately afterwards, the principal of Yuxiu Palace, Mama, ran in in a panic and said to her: "Princess, don't go out, there is an accident in the palace!" ”

"What's wrong?" She asked hurriedly.

Mama only shook her head: "The old slave doesn't know, I only heard that the queen's mourning ceremony was almost interrupted." ”

Could it be an assassin? Wei Nong was puzzled, and couldn't help but sneak out of the dining room, opened the palace gate of Yuxiu Palace, and sure enough, he saw more than twice as many Praetorian Guards as before, as if they were searching for something everywhere, and even the gate of Yuxiu Palace was full of people.

After all, Wei Nong is young, and he used to follow the dart game often, and he was not afraid to see this situation, but he was very curious. Seeing her looking out, the principal mother hurriedly dragged her back, and said urgently: "My Royal Highness the Princess! You are the crown prince and princess, you can't show your head at will, teach those men to take a look. ”

After a few months of getting along, Wei Nong knew about Mama's pedantry early on, and she didn't defend herself, but only said coyly: "It's Mama, I'll pay attention next time." He also yawned deliberately: "Well, I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest." ”

Mama frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her etiquette, but because of her identity, she didn't say anything, so she just said, "Princess, don't go to bed so early, it's easy to get sleepy at night." ”

Wei Nong replied in a disorderly manner, and walked towards the dormitory. As soon as she stepped into the temple door, there was a strange smell in the air, very faint, faint, and her nose was too sensitive, but she still sniffed out.

She hurriedly looked around the inside and outside of the hall, and sure enough, she saw a few eunuchs with fresh faces, so she summoned her personal maid Lantern Xiao and pointed to those people: "Who are they?" ”

"It's a new guard sent by the King of Chu, saying that it is to protect your safety." Lantern Xiao stumbled and said, "After all...... You are a princess and a princess, and it is not convenient to meet the 'man' next to you. ”

Wei Nong suddenly understood, and walked up to the eunuchs. Several people have martial arts, and when they saw Wei Nong coming over, they quickly knelt down and introduced themselves one by one. Wei Nong said a few kind words perfunctorily, then stood in front of them and sniffed deeply.

Nothing but the smell of sweat. At least, it's not something she's just smelling.

She was a little puzzled, and then remembered the messy scene outside, so she also asked bluntly: "Since a few people have been dispatched by the king to come to this Yuxiu Palace to protect the palace, can you also inform them, what happened in the palace?" ”

The leading eunuch pondered for a moment, and replied very vaguely: "Princess, the palace has been stolen." Now the guards are going around to catch the thieves, and His Royal Highness the King and the Crown Prince are afraid that outsiders will collide with you, so they sent servants and others to protect Luanjia. ”

"Then there will be labor." Wei Nong smiled and nodded, without asking any more questions, turned around and returned to the dormitory. Looking around, the palace maids all looked calm, and they didn't see the slightest difference. She thought about it, walked slowly to the dresser, took a small mirror and put it in front of her, pretended to look in the mirror, and looked around through the mirror.

No anomalies remain.

At this time, Lantern Xiao said outside the hall: "Princess, it's time to bathe." ”

Bath? Wei Nong was stunned for a moment: "Uh, the bathing matter is suspended, you go and bring the classics I read today." After that, he added: "There is also that book of "Women's Training". ”

"Princess, the sun has set, and you still want to study?" Lantern Xiao hesitantly poked into her head.

Wei Nong waved his hand at her eagerly: "Go!" ”

Lantern Festival had no choice, so I had to go and get the books. Wei Nong summoned all the palace maids to him, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, I have taught Mama Xi to teach the "Women's Training", and I am deeply touched by the palace Xi Ba, and I have nothing to do tonight, so I will read it to you." This kind of witty saying, as a daughter's family, should be learned, I think it will be of great benefit to you. ”

The palace maids looked at each other, and they didn't understand why this Qingcheng princess wanted to teach them to read. Since she lived in Yuxiu Palace, she has been cold and indifferent, as if she can't lift her spirits for anything, and she doesn't say a word all day long. Tonight's move is very unusual.

Although the palace maids thought so in their hearts, no one dared to bring it up, but the maid who came from Yan Country during the Lantern Festival was the closest to Wei Nong, and couldn't help asking, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

As if she hadn't heard her words, she spread out a copy of "Women's Training" and began to read it with a lot of words. A group of palace maids gathered in a circle, all of them "listening" with blank expressions.

After reading like this for half an hour, the sky became darker and darker, and Lantern Xiao fell asleep when she heard it, so she had the courage to interrupt Weinong, and said euphemistically: "Princess, it's too late, you are looking at it strangely when you read." Why don't you read it again tomorrow morning? ”

"Oh? Is it? When you say it, it seems to be quite eye-catching. Wei Nong cleared his throat: "Lantern Festival, bring a few more oil lamps in." ”

Lantern Xiao was quite helpless when he heard this, and he didn't dare to disobey his master's intentions, so he had to do it.

Wei Nong seemed to be tired at all, and sat and read for half an hour. During this period, eunuchs kept coming in to take a look, probably wondering about her abnormality, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Finally, a palace maid couldn't support it anymore, so she staggered two steps and planted her head on the rosewood table next to Wei Nong. Everyone helped her up, and the palace maid knew that she was out of order, so she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, looking apprehensive.

Wei Nong just raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Lantern Festival, you help her out." For the rest, continue to listen to me read the "Women's Discipline". Instead, she yawned herself.

Lantern Xiao finally couldn't help it: "Princess, what's wrong with you today?" It's also abnormal! ”

"Huh? Have it? Wei Nong glanced out of the door as he spoke, and then glared at Lantern Xiao again: "Quickly take this dozing girl out!" Also, tell the first year of junior high school that I won't bathe today, and teach her to come over and listen to "Women's Training"! ”

With an inexplicable expression on her face, Lantern Xiao reluctantly accepted her life, and helped the dozing palace maid to walk out, muttering as she walked: "What's wrong with the princess today?" ”

Wei Nong watched the two of them walk out of the hall gate, and said to the other palace maids with a smile: "Let's continue, where did I read just now?" ”

The palace maids couldn't answer, and in fact, no one knew where she had read.

Wei Nong asked and answered himself, pointed to a paragraph in the book at random, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that I have read this ......"

So, she buried herself in reading again, and after reading a few sentences, she would glance out the door, and seeing that there had been no movement, her heart became more and more anxious. I was about to think of another way, but suddenly I felt a cold feeling around my body, which turned out to be the night wind passing through the door and blowing into the dormitory.

The candles flickered together, disturbing the light and darkness in the hall, and the shaking was so thick that it was no longer possible to read the words on the book. She clutched the "Women's Training" in her hand tightly, and just wanted to say something, when it suddenly went dark in front of her, and all the candles in the hall were blown out by the wind in an instant.

Wei Nong's heart tightened, but the palace maids all breathed a sigh of relief, and each said happily: "Slaves and maids go and light the lamp...... The slaves and maids went to find candles...... "and scattered the birds and beasts."

Wei sighed in his heart, and waited for a while before he saw the palace maids come back in with candlesticks. The moment the hall lit up, she faintly saw a red in her eyes, and when she looked down, she saw that in the page of the book "Women's Training" in her hand, there was an extra piece of white cloth at some point, and two big words were written bloodily on it: "Chase people!" ”

Wei Nong woke up suddenly, slammed the "Women's Training" shut, and stood up tremblingly, his face was already pale. However, it was late at night, the candles in the hall were dim, and none of the palace maids noticed her strangeness, and they were all thinking about how to escape from the "magic sound" of Princess Qingcheng.

At this moment, a palace maid boldly said: "Princess, it's late at night, why don't you sleep peacefully?" ”

Wei Nong was called back to his senses by these words, and hurriedly said, "Uh...... All right! Disperse y'all of you! Also, tell the first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival, you don't have to come to serve the washing, I'm tired. ”

Princess Qingcheng, who has always been happy and quiet, why is she so abnormal today? All the palace maids secretly wondered in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything, so they retreated one after another, left the dormitory, and closed the door of the palace.

Weichung's heart had never beaten so fast, she lowered her eyes, and opened the "Women's Training" again, in which the bright red blood words were shocking, not her imagination. There was still no movement in the hall, and there was no villain walking on the wall. She could even hear her own breathing, subtle, rapid, and alert.

"The first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival, which are your names?" A loose voice suddenly sounded at this moment, low, slow, and magnetic.

Turning around, she saw a man dressed in black and covered with silver armor leaning on her bed, in a casual and lazy posture, but not upright, with one hand still resting behind his head, as if he was the owner of the bed.
