Chapter 70: One Part, Two Wide, Start from the Beginning
It was late at night, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and I sat in front of the window, the dancing candle flame dangling a lonely shadow on the closed window lattice. I was so sad that I finally made up my mind to find a golden hairpin from the jewelry box. I twisted hard, and a gap appeared at the bottom of the golden hairpin, and I pulled it open, and there was some white powder in it.
This is a habit I have been an agent for many years, and I used to keep it in the house, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
At this moment, I hesitated, thinking of the second brother outside the palace, thinking of Zhengqing and Hao Qian, but I knew that if I continued to stay in this palace, then those disasters would be like a bomb, hanging over their heads all the time, and if they were not careful, they would be wiped out. I finally made up my mind, put it in a small brass pipe, and blew it out along the window lattice, and after a while, I already heard the sound of them falling to the ground, and I thought, even if Ling Haoxuan was angry, it wouldn't involve them!
I brought the hosta and jade pendant that Hao Qian gave me, and packed up the jade pendant that Zhengqing gave me and some gadgets that Hao Xi and Hao Qing had given me in recent years, and loaded a dozen silver tickets and some broken gold nuggets and scattered silver. Except for underwear, I didn't bring a dress, after all, outside the palace, these cumbersome clothes have no chance to wear at all, and the palace things themselves are taboo, and I won't leave myself with trouble.
I changed into dark clothes and disguised myself, which was not difficult for me, I wiped my face yellow with ointment, changed the trend of my eyebrows, and trimmed a pair of velvety willow eyebrows into sword eyebrows that went straight to the sideburns, and the heroic eyebrows were slightly raised, making the whole person look flying. The eyes were drawn with homemade eyeliner and the lips were thinly smeared with foundation, showing a faint flesh white, and the free and proud Mu Zhengyi finally returned.
I looked at myself in the mirror and silently said goodbye to the past, the five years of life in the deep palace, let me almost change my temperament, and now, I finally waved goodbye and lived a free and easy life in my previous life!
The night breeze in early summer still brings a hint of coolness, I don't know if the sky is pitiful, and today's moonlight is ambiguous with a dusk. I quietly went out of the main hall, the courtyard door was closed, I knew that the road in front of the door had been blocked by the black-clothed and gold-armored guards, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry were strictly guarded, the city tower was tall and wide, and there were heavy guards, I didn't dare to be careless, and gently flashed to the bottom of the city wall, and passed through the dead corner that the city wall light could not illuminate with great precision, and was tightly attached to the wall, and the whole person and the iron-black wall were integrated.
The dagger with sharpened iron like mud was deeply embedded in the gap of the city wall, I held my breath, and when the two teams of guards staggered away, I lightly toe on my toes, and borrowed slightly on the dagger deeply embedded in the city wall, and my body floated out close to the city wall, this drift was extremely far, like a leaf, floating over the city wall, the time was still early, there were no pedestrians on the empty street, I did not dare to be careless, a dodge had fallen into the shadow outside the city wall.
At the last moment of stepping out of the shadows, I turned my eyes to look at the reddish-brown wall behind me, and I packed my bags, knowing that from this moment on, everything here had nothing to do with me......
I didn't go looking for Haoqian, nor did I go home, I knew that when it was dawn, the first place Ling Haoxuan would look for would be there, it was still early, and the city gate had not yet opened, so I mixed in the long queue of people out of the city as fast as I could, quietly hiding my whereabouts, at this time, I had to compete with Ling Haoxuan for time.
I guess, finding that I am not there, Ling Haoxuan will definitely set my escape route in the northwest, after all, whether it is the eldest brother or Hao Qian, they can give me shelter, but I just did the opposite, since Tianyu can't tolerate me, I will directly intersperse with Yueheng from the west, one is to see where the strength of this country that has been the enemy of Tianyu for generations is, and the other is just out of Ling Haoxuan's sight, this is the safest route.
The morning breeze was blowing, the official road was shining in the golden sun, I looked back in the direction of the city gate, the white horse raised its head to the homeland, and then hurried away, and the towering city tower finally turned into a little dust in the vast world......
The night was long, but Ling Haoxuan didn't feel the slightest sleep, he stood in the courtyard of the Taihe Palace, looking at the boxy sky above the boxy palace. The sky was extremely overcast, and the sky was as thick as ink, and there was not even a trace of moonlight, just like his current state of mind......
He turned around and looked in the direction of Fengzhi Palace. She may have slept, and after completely breaking with himself, he smiled lowly, could he really leave her so decisively? He knew he couldn't do it, and from the moment she picked her up in the lake when she was thirteen, their fates were entangled, and it was difficult to sort them out.
He didn't know what was wrong with him! Crazy jealousy made himself do terrible things, so that these days of hard work in vain, he even remembered that day, when she was sleeping, she inadvertently rolled into her arms, her head rested on her shoulder, for fear that she would not sleep well, he hugged her all night, and when it was dawn, his arms could hardly be lifted, she seemed to notice something, and watched silently, but her face was red. That's her peculiar shy way......
She's slowly approaching her, isn't she? Why do you go crazy with jealousy when you see her dancing for Hao Qian?! Why did she have to cut off all her memories with Hao Qian overnight?! Why do you have to show your love for the other palace concubines in front of her?! She looks so soft and weak, but she is so stubborn, why do you have to force her?!
He tugged at the corners of his lips bitterly and touched her bite marks on his shoulder.
His eyebrows curled slightly, the moonlight leaked through the veiled panes, sprinkled on his handsome cheeks, he held the wine glass in his hand tightly, and said quietly: "Can't you really see my efforts over the years?" Why is it Haoqian? Why? ”
His brows suddenly furrowed tightly, and his voice also carried a hint of resentment, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth so hard: "Why??" ”
The wine cup shattered into several pieces with a "click", and the sharp jade slashed across his palm, and bright red blood splattered out, falling to the ground in dots, like delicate plum blossoms.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Wenhuan let out a low voice, as if he wanted to burst out of his mouth, but after all, he swallowed it back at the last moment, and he bent down again, carefully cleaning the scars on his hands. The medicinal wine rubbed against his wound, and his hands trembled unconsciously, but his brows did not wrinkle in the slightest. Does it hurt? Perhaps, but no matter how much it hurts, how does it hurt over the pain in my heart......
"Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to court!" Cao Wenhuan stayed on the side all night, and he was even more exposed, and he put on a coat for Ling Haoxuan.
"I'll go to Fengzhi Palace for a while, she's not in good health, she doesn't like to eat in the morning, let the imperial dining room boil some porridge and send it over, prepare more side dishes, she loves to eat those." Ling Haoxuan looked in the direction of Fengzhi Palace and commanded.
Cao Wenhuan listened silently, tears almost fell, he has followed the emperor for many years, since he was the prince, he has followed aside, he clearly knows the emperor's deep love for the queen.
The early dynasty had already begun, and he instructed his subordinates to serve carefully, and then went to Fengzhi Palace. At the door, the guard stood straight, he nodded, and immediately someone opened the palace door, he took a few people in, and each of them had a tray in their hands, which was full of the queen's favorite meals, he thought, the queen saw this, even if she was ruthless, her heart could be soft. However, at the moment of opening the door, he only saw the eunuch and palace maid who were unconscious on the ground.
He only knew that he was crazy, and all the guards searched the entire palace, even the bed boards and cabinets were dismantled, and even the lake was emptied, but there was still no one. He carefully interrogated everyone, but there was not the slightest answer. Turning around, he saw the emperor standing at the gate of the palace, like a broken paper kite, falling to dust in the sky.
In a hurry, Ling Haoxuan turned over and took the palace 3,000 guards, and at the same time, surrounded the five mansions of King Jing's Mansion, Duanwang Mansion, King Jin's Mansion, Su Mansion, and He Mansion.
Ling Haoxuan almost kicked open the door of King Jing's mansion, and in the midst of the housekeeper's shouts, Ling Haoqian appeared in front of him. He grabbed Ling Haoqian's collar: "Where is Su Ruo?" Where is it?! ”
Ling Haoqian was inexplicable when he heard this, but he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't care about asking for peace and asked, "What did you say?" What happened to Su Ruo? ”
"You're still pretending! How long do you want to pretend to me? Ling Haoxuan almost roared: "Where did you hide her?" Hand her over! ”
Ling Haoqian grabbed Ling Haoxuan with his backhand: "Tell me, what happened to Su Ruo?" ”
Perhaps it was extreme desperation, Ling Haoxuan was almost unsteady on his feet, his body shook and almost fell, he looked at Ling Haoqian in a trance: "She's gone!" She's gone! I can't find her! His face was so pale, and tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.
Ling Haoqian looked at him in disbelief, for a long time, there was no reaction, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly moved, and then, his body suddenly leaned back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out......
