Troubled times

Murong Ruoli was pushed back a few steps by me, "You keep saying that you love the princess, but why are you pestering me endlessly", I remembered that he had done everything to me in the illusion world, and I was angry.

"Hmph, then let me tell you why?" he approached me again, took two steps forward and grabbed me quickly, "I have always loved only one person, whether that person loves me or not, I have never changed my mind until you appear......"

"Do you want to say that you changed my mind because of me," I stared at him to get him out of a hole.

"Change my mind?" he sneered, "If I change my mind, I won't be so miserable anymore, I wish I could change my mind."

"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The Xianbei people have been passed on to have spiritual magic since ancient times, and in the two Jin Dynasty, there were a few people who survived in Xiliang by concealment, and these people just knew these things, a few years ago, there was a rumor that a man in strange clothes suddenly appeared in the market, claiming to be thousands of years later......" he said and glanced at me.

I was shocked when I heard this, how could Murong Ruoli know this, whether he was a human being, a ghost or a god?

"But the man disappeared after he became famous, and he disappeared with another scholar who had been with him all the time" At this point, he came closer to me again, almost touching my face.

"Do you know how that man appeared?" he touched the tip of my nose with his tall nose, causing me to shudder and shake my head a little.

Murong Ruoli laughed self-deprecatingly, "Do you know how much you owe me?"

He grabbed my arm and squeezed it tightly, slowly releasing it when I felt pain, and finally let me go and slammed the door, and immediately several of the guards escorted me down and locked me up in a palace.

There are guard handles outside, and they are not allowed to go out of the palace for half a step, which is similar to the one in the illusion, but I don't know if the ending will be the same this time.

And what is Murong Ruoli hiding?

I don't know anything about the situation outside the palace, I only heard the discussions of those palace maids who delivered food and water, and I realized that there was a big chaos outside, and King Nanyan didn't want to take care of me these days.

But who knows, since then, he has never seen Murong Ruoli again.

——

I don't know how long the days in the deep palace have passed, but I can see from the window that the outside has changed from autumn to winter, and the ginkgo trees in front of the palace, falling leaves, have drifted into the temple, and then the first snow has fallen.

During this time, the King of Nanyan did not come back from the war, but the Queen Mother and Fluttershy often came to my dormitory, coming and going like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waiting for her husband to return.

"Tomorrow, you will go to the temple with me to make incense, so that I can pray for the victory of my Nanyan Banner, and there will be no disadvantage in the battle, and I can pray that the king can return safely" The Queen Mother sat directly above me at this time, looking like an elder.

"The concubine obeys the decree of the Queen Mother, but the king ordered me not to go out of this palace for half a step, if the king knows, I am afraid I will be angry" I lowered my eyebrows and said.

"The palace is in charge, how can the king be angry?", "Yes, the king must be very happy if he knows that you are dedicated to worshipping the Buddha" Fluttershy is on the side, and now she has been named a beauty by the Queen Mother, because the daughter of Lian Guogong died of illness last month, and the Queen Mother gave Fluttershy a position, and finally survived.

"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning" The Queen Mother stood up, and I also stood up to salute, and before leaving, she suddenly said, "After staying in the palace for a long time, your temperament is becoming more and more like a queen who has died of illness" After that, she walked out of the palace, and Fluttershy followed.

I don't know what the Queen Mother meant by dropping this sentence, but it must not be a good intention.

Early the next morning, there was already a huge group of people waiting outside the hall, and I sat in the same carriage with Fluttershy.

"It's been nearly half a year since Nanyan came here, and it's the first time we've been out of the palace," Fluttershy was the first to speak, "but you fire girl suddenly became a dowry girl in Xiliang, and then she became the second wife after the queen in Nanyan, and her means are really clever."

"You're not bad," I said lightly, and looked out the window.

The temple and the palace are not far apart, more than an hour to arrive, get off the carriage, see the monks have been waiting outside the temple, and the front is the previous palace of the monks, see us come to say, "Queen Mother, everything has been arranged, please."

Immediately couch up the steps, enter the temple, then feel the ancient temple of blue bricks in the temple, the air is fresh, the monk is the presiding officer in the temple, and the law name is silent.

The master led us to the main hall, and the queen mother bowed sincerely to the big Buddha in the center, "Now in the year of war, there are often rogues next to the temple, in case the poor monk has placed the queen's coffin in the underground palace," the monk made a salute.

"It's okay, after all, it's the dignity of the Wang family, just put it here, or send a few people to clean it from time to time" The queen mother stood up with the help of the palace maid.

The wing room has been prepared, we have all been placed everywhere, the life in the temple is very quiet, the morning bell and dusk drums, I was also forced by the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, not many days to practice a good hand.

A few days later, in the early morning, as soon as I had finished washing up with the maids, I heard the sound of drums and trumpets outside......

I hurriedly ran out, and the guards and servants outside saw this scene and began to flee one after another.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother and Fluttershy came out of the wing room on the other side, surrounded by the royal guards, and the monk Jingyan had already come from the front yard and walked up to the Queen Mother and said a few words, too far away to hear what they were saying.

The Queen Mother is still calm and calm, and everyone is surrounded by everyone and walks to one place, but Fluttershy on the side begins to panic and follows the Queen Mother.

"Madame, aren't we leaving?" I was followed by a maid named Green Calyx, who had been serving me, and she also looked at the person in front of her in a hurry.

"Let's go," I replied unhurriedly, and went with the crowd.

A group of people came to the big garden in the temple, the monk Jingyan walked in the front to guide the way, he took us to a rockery, there is a big cave in the rockery, he walked in first, and then the queen mother and others also followed.

There was a hidden passage in the rockery, and Jingyan pressed a part of the stone wall, and that place collapsed into it, and a bright light flashed from inside.

"This is another entrance to the dungeon, you can only enter and not go out, the exit is on the inside of the dungeon, opening this door is a royal taboo, but now I can't care so much" The queen mother said solemnly, and then took the lead in walking in.

Fluttershy then hurriedly followed, followed by a few less high-ranking beauties, and I looked at the cave and hesitated for a moment, while Calyx panicked in my ear.

"Madam, please" Jing Yan clasped his hands beside me and said Amitabha, I looked at him, and always felt that this monk was not an ordinary monk, but now it was too late to think more, so I had to go in too.

When I entered, the door to the cave slowly closed.

There is a luxurious coffin in the middle, this is the underground palace, the queen mother bypassed the coffin, came to a stone wall, there is a strange circular pattern on the stone wall, quite like a puzzle, the queen mother moved a few pieces, the stone wall began to move, she took a few steps back, stared ahead.

Finally, there were traces of a stone wall that had no gaps, and then a stone door quickly opened.

The people who followed behind the Queen Mother finally let go of their hearts, and they were all happy to be saved, although they did not move, but the expressions on their faces were all cheering.

"Fluttershy, you go out first" Fluttershy said expressionlessly, but Fluttershy hesitated when she saw this, "Queen Mother, how dare this Fluttershy, you and your sister didn't go out, how can Fluttershy ......"

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother really looked at me, "Then, Xiaoyu, you first."

The royal family is extremely cunning, and the Queen Mother is just trying to verify that there is an ambush outside, and Fluttershy and I are not from Nanyan, and the Queen Mother has always been wary of the so-called favored me, and she should take this opportunity to get rid of the two of us.

I walked out without saying a word, and as soon as I went out, I saw the mountain forest behind the temple, the forest was lush, and the underground palace was even stretched here, and it was very big, not just what we saw.
