Chapter Eighty-Seven: Xiangyun Palace
With so many questions, Shang Yinghai took the cup of poison and went to the Xiangyun Hall where the mysterious prisoner was imprisoned.
Outside the Xiangyun Palace, Shang Yinghai saw the Praetorian Guards of the Beijing Division with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, holding the most advanced firearms and foreign guns in their hands, and carrying the sword of the town house with yellow talismans on their waists, all facing the outside of the palace, guarding the treasure hall.
And in the square outside the main hall, there are Lafayette's royal lamas and shamans, those guys open the altar one by one, and the interior of the Xiangyun Hall keeps reciting the scriptures, as if suppressing some ghosts.
As for the Xiangyun Hall itself, the exterior was brightly lit, and the inner windows were pitch black, like a huge corpse.
In addition to these, Shang Yinghai also found that in the middle of the night, outside the Xiangyun Palace, for no reason, pieces of crows were constantly circling in the sky, hissing, like black storms or dark clouds.
In such an oppressive and grotesque atmosphere, the apprehensive Shang Yinghai was inspected by the Praetorian Guards and walked into the temple gate alone.
At this time, inside the Xiangyun Palace, all kinds of things had already been carried out, and in front of Shang Yinghai, there was only a lone lamp that flickered slightly in the dimness, and a twisted and thin figure under the lone lamp.
Shang Yunhai knew that the shadow was his goal, so he didn't think much about it, and walked over step by step.
Xiangyun Hall is a main hall in the Summer Palace, although the scale cannot be compared with the Jinluan Hall in the Forbidden City, but it is also very empty and gloomy.
Xiao Yingzi walked inside, feeling a gust of yin wind coming, and there was a biting chill all over her body.
Alone, with a green light, walking in such a place, even an old eunuch like Shang Yinghai, who is used to seeing conspiracy and vendetta, can't help but feel terrified.
He walked through the hall with curiosity and apprehension, expecting to see the prisoner trapped in such a posture, and worried about whether he would be able to remain as calm as ever after seeing it.
Time passed quickly and slowly, and just as Shang Yinghai's thoughts were flying, his body finally walked in front of the twisted figure.
With the clarity of his vision, Shang Yunhai's pupils suddenly contracted!
He finally saw clearly this man who had "angered" Galeries Lafayette.
It was a small girl of fifteen or sixteen, with fair skin, a peach blossom face, no bound feet, but a slender figure.
This is a very bright girl, and she does not feel any terror or threat just by looking at her face with a hint of a smile, but if you see her whole body, especially the part from the neck down, it is a completely different view.
The lower half of the girl's body was nailed deep to a chair by someone else, a "bone nail" made of a person's thigh bone, from the neck, to the shoulders, from the chest, to the thighs, the nails were dense and neatly arranged.
Thirty or forty, or even fifty or sixty bone nails, just brushed against the girl's body, as the girl's chest rose and fell, streams of turbid blood continued to flow out slowly along the girl's wounds, clothes, and bone nails, and some of the green bricks and ghost paintings under her feet were stained red and difficult to distinguish.
Looking at all this, Xiao Yingzi was stunned, he trembled, holding the bowl with the poisonous food curse, and it took a long time before he began to say, "You ...... You are ......"
"Call me Yin Nineteen! If you want, call me Nineteen Master. The girl spoke, and there was not a trace of pain in her voice.
Listening to Yin Nineteen's falling and generous, Shang Yinghai was greatly surprised, you must know that being nailed to the chair alive by the bone nail, even if she is not dead, she should be speechless, but this girl said it, and ...... There was also a hint of sweetness in the voice.
Listening to the voice, Shang Yinghai hurriedly took a few steps back, followed by barely squeezing out a smile.
Instinctively, he thought that this woman who was about to die was definitely a big person, and instinctively, Xiao Yingzi raised the poison bowl in his hand and smiled at the Yin Nineteen: "This ...... I am here to send you on your way at the behest of Lafayette!"
"Send me on my way?!" Yin Nineteen picked up his beautiful and clear eyes, stared at the medicine bowl in Shang Yinghai's hand, nodded and said, "Understand! After drinking that bowl of things, everything is over, right?!"
"Yes!" Shang Yinghai lifted the lid, leaked out the black sesame paste-like eating spell, and handed it in front of Yin Nineteen, and then spoke: "This thing...... Can make you super raw, drink ...... It's great for you. ”
"Understood!" Yin Nineteen nodded and closed her eyes, as if she had thought about something slightly, and then she opened her tired eyes, and suddenly asked Shang Yinghai: "Before I die, I want to ask you a word, is it okay?"
In fact, talking to a secret prisoner before death was a very taboo thing in the Qing Palace, but at that time, Shang Yinghai didn't know whether he was impressed by the calm charm of Yin Nineteen, or if his curiosity came on for a while, and he forgot his mission and taboo.
He actually nodded at that time and said:
"You...... You say!"
"Okay!" Yin Nineteen closed his eyes slightly, and then said something that made Shang Yinghai stunned.
Yin Jiu asked Shang Yinghai and said, "Xiaoyingzi, you are not here to give the funeral to this mother, but to accompany the funeral of the palace, understand?!"
This sentence made Shang Yinghai dumbfounded, not because this Yin Nineteen could say his name, but because of the word "burial".
Although he had some bad premonitions, Shang Yinghai still replied: "I don't understand your words!"
"What's not to understand!" Yin Nineteen smiled slightly: "Lan'er is ruthless, even her ancestors dare to kill, so how can she let you go? If I guessed correctly, you Shang Yinghai have already killed a few people related to yesterday's silk play, right?!"
Yin Nineteen's whipping analysis made Shang Yinghai break out in a cold sweat.
Cixi and Li Lianying killed the foreigners through Shang Yinghai's hand, so only the Yin Nineteen monk in front of Shang Yinghai knew about the silk play that night, and Yin Nineteen asked so many questions, it was inevitable that it would not reach the ears of Lafayette through Li Lianying's mouth.
In this way, she will die on the nineteenth day, and the death of his executioner may really come.
Although Shang Yinghai has not read any books, he knows very well that there is a saying called "The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks"!
With a cold sweat, Shang Yinghai was at a loss, and at such a juncture, Yin Nineteen told Shang Yinghai something more important!
The banshee smiled and said like a lotus flower, "Don't be afraid! If you help me get out of life, you won't die, and you're ...... I can give you what you've always dreamed of. ”
“......”
Shang Yinghai naturally didn't believe Yin Nineteen's words, because this guy himself was nailed to death in the Xiangyun Hall by bone nails, and he was not allowed to be reborn.
Besides, even if Shang Yinghai released Yin Nineteen, what could he do? You must know that outside this hall, there are Praetorian guards with muskets, lamas and shamans, and countless masters of the Great Interior.
Cixi is the head of the empire, if she wants to kill someone, she can call on the power of an empire to do it, and Shang Yinghai is just a slave attached to the court, even if he knows that he will be given death by his master after this incident, there is no way.
This...... It's fate!
