Chapter 27: Breaking into the King's Mansion at Night (2)
"How could Bai Tingyu be such a sinister and cunning person as a guest of such a foolish person as you?"
"I'll tell you, don't scold my son-in-law!"
"I didn't scold your son-in-law." I'm telling the truth.
"It's even worse to scold me!"
……
"Chu Zhilan, don't pull me by the collar! You're right, I'm going to send him to see the Buddha today! ”
"Qingyi, you can't beat him, I'll come." Chu Zhilan's cold voice came from behind.
Listening to Chu Zhilan's words, Li Yang knelt down with a plop, "Senior, I know that I am wrong, I am just too surprised below, although I think that the combination of yin and yang is the right way, but I am just ridiculing this matter, and I have no contempt for it." ”
"I'm a woman! You idiot! "If it weren't for Chu Zhilan reaching out to stop my waist, I would really want to go up and slap him hundreds of times.
"You're a woman?" Li Yang showed an expression of "You must be teasing me, I don't believe it".
"Ah Yang, she is not only a woman, but also the princess I am going to marry!" Bai Tingyu said and walked from the corridor. He covered half of his face with a fan, but his eyes were full of cunning, even if he couldn't see the lower half of his face, he knew that the corners of his mouth were about to rise to the sky now.
He walked slowly past me, Li Yang got up and bowed to him, but he ignored him, and sat straight on the main seat. The dancing maids had already retreated, and for a while, there were only four of us left in the noisy pavilion and water pavilion just now.
Li Yang's eyes were complaining, and he reluctantly knelt in front of me, "The villain greets the princess of Yunjiang Min, the princess of Dasheng, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai before, and I ask Your Highness to forgive." ”
No, why is this on your knees? And Senior Brother, your expression doesn't show the attitude of asking for forgiveness at all!
"Senior brother, don't do this, if you bow down to me so against your will, you will lose your life."
"Your Royal Highness, don't do this, the prince once said that if you marry a relative, the whole house will listen to the princess."
As soon as I heard it, I turned white, the princess here, not me. I sympathetically lifted Li Yang up, "Senior brother, you are so pitiful, you have followed the owner for so long and you don't even know who your boss lady is." ”
Li Yang looked dazed, "Everyone in Yunjiang knows that the prince wants to marry Xu Chaodu, the princess of the former dynasty of Dasheng." ”
Hehe, but they didn't know that King Min would poison his princess and princess.
"Xu Chaodui, visiting this king's mansion at night, I don't know what you are doing?" Bai Tingyu propped his head on the desk with one hand and looked at me with a smile.
"Looking for someone," I was also unambiguous and straightforward, "Hand over the person I want, and I will let Qi Yucheng return the real Princess of Compassion to you." ”
At the mention of that woman, the smile on Bai Tingyu's face instantly distorted, "Who is there in my house?" Didn't you say it was the last time you were at the ancestral hall? That's what I tricked you, and you really believed it? ”
I smiled and said, "I already thought it out when I came, if you trick me, it's just to lure Chu Zhilan to carry a candle, and I won't lose anything." "I stepped on his desk, and the grapes in the clay plate rolled down one by one." If you don't deceive me, I have a chance to find the person I am looking for, and I will not lose. ”
Bai Tingyu stared at me intently, but shouted to Chu Zhilan: "Best friend, it seems that you are just an object of use in your sister-in-law's heart." ”
I don't care about Bai Tingyu's sowing discord, anyway, I'm also talking nonsense, what if Chu Zhilan comes to Huai Candle? If he didn't want to stay to help Bai Tingyu, could Bai Tingyu still tie him up and prevent him from leaving?
Chu Zhilan, who had been silent since Bai Tingyu appeared, suddenly said, "I'm willing." Bai Tingyu and I were stunned.
Bai Tingyu sighed: "Best friend, you are really carried away by love. ”
I coughed embarrassedly and said to Bai Tingyu: "Don't talk nonsense, hand over what you said, I'm going to take my brother home." ”
"I'll fool you."
"You say I'll fool me? The words are what you say, and if you say that it is false, it is okay for me to believe it, how can you prove it? ”
Bai Tingyu couldn't cry or laugh, "How can I prove yin if I don't exist?" He looked at me playfully and irreverently, like a hooked fish.
A glimmer of fire lit up from his eyes, and before I could react, Bai Tingyu stood up with a serious expression. I turned my head and saw a black shadow flying towards me quickly, and at this moment, Bai Tingyu slapped my palm on the shoulder, and the force was so great that I took several steps back and fell to the ground, and the back of my head almost hit the table. I opened my eyes in agony, and three sharp arrows were pressed into the wood of the table, causing me to break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Li Yang had long since disappeared, and Chu Zhilan squatted beside me to protect me behind me. I grabbed him: "What's going on?" ”
He replied calmly, "An outsider has entered the palace." ”
Is it an assassin?
Before we could think about it, a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded from all sides, and a young soldier ran to kneel on the ground in a panic: "Prince, an assassin has infiltrated the palace, and the villain is not well guarded, so please ask the prince to reduce the punishment." "It turned out to be a soldier of the palace.
Bai Tingyu waved the folding fan in his hand: "What's the use of punishing you?" If you have time to ramble here, why don't you find out who broke into the mansion quickly? The little soldier was about to retreat in response to the order, Bai Tingyu said again: "Wait, Mr. Li Yang Li has just disappeared, he must have found the clue early and went to find the assassin, if you find him, don't act rudely." ”
The little soldier nodded again and again: "The little one knows." ”
"Childe! Son! The little guard at the gate ran over and knelt on the ground: "Childe! A team of guards came outside, saying that they were sent by King Li and wanted to enter the palace. ”
Bai Tingyu was furious, threw the folding fan on the spot, and sneered: "It's really arrogant, this is the Yunjiang Prince's Mansion, I am the son of the king with him, what right does he have to let the guards guarding the palace enter my mansion?" ”
He walked past me, "My best friend, take my sister-in-law out, the palace is really not peaceful today, let's come back in a few days." ”
Chu Zhilan helped me up, was silent for a moment and pressed my shoulder, so painful that I bared my teeth and screamed. He didn't hide his distressed face, "I'll give you medicine when I go back, you bear with it first, and I'll take you out first." ”
I quickly reached out and grabbed him, only to have myself hurt to death again. Chu Zhilan picked me up without saying a word, "If you are unwilling, I will help you unload his arm and give you anger." ”
Chu Zhilan said that he really wanted to go to Bai Tingyu to unload his arm, and I was so painful that it took me a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "I'm not leaving, Qi Yun is here, the." ”
How could I possibly forget? The bells and whistles changed Yunjiang's tune beyond recognition, just like Qi Yun himself, flashy and messy. Either way, I can't just give up so easily, I have to find out for myself.
Chu Zhilan frowned, stopped talking, and finally spoke: "Okay, I'll take you to find her." I nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, thank you, big brother, let me down first, my shoulder pain really doesn't affect walking." ”
He put me down and took my uninjured hand on the other side and walked in the direction where the sound of the flute had just come from. I have to say that the architecture of Yunjiang is very different from that of Ningguo, this water pavilion around and around, my head is dizzy, I suspect that Chu Zhilan led me in the wrong direction, but his pace is firm, and I don't know the way, so I have to follow behind him.
Chu Zhilan stopped in front of a courtyard, "The sound of the flute just now came from this direction, if she is still in the same place, then she should be found here." I was anxious in my heart, and strode into the courtyard, Chu Zhilan grabbed me behind me, "Qingyi, you follow me softly, don't forget that there are others in the palace today." ”
"Who?"
A familiar voice came from inside the room, and my eyes instantly became wet: it was Qi Yun's voice!
"It's me."
With that, I walked over and pushed the door, but it was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened. Chu Zhilan pulled me away helplessly on the side, and I suddenly pushed him forward and whispered to him: "Yes, you have a lot of strength, kick this door open!" ”
"Who dares to kick in the door?" Qi Yun's shouts in the room shook the sky, "Who wants to harm me?" Know who I am? ”
I thought to myself that this girl was still so domineering after so long, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's me, I'm here to save you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't recognize you!"
I was stunned, and after a while I thought about it, probably because my voice had changed, and she couldn't hear who I was. I was about to show my yin identity, and I shouted again: "Auntie, I was in Chenyang Palace back then, but I favored the entire harem, and I was the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and now that the emperor has died, do you think you can do whatever you want?" Don't! ”
I took a step back, Chu Zhilan's reaction was faster, and with a swing of the long sword, several arrows were cut off. The doors and windows that had been closed just now appeared on them with holes that had been pierced by arrows. Although I also found out that something was wrong, I was still frightened, and I half-squatted behind Chu Zhilan, not daring to raise my head. Until Chu Zhilan said: "They fled, and the woman was also taken away by them." I hurriedly got up, "What? Qi Yun was taken away? ”
"I'm afraid that their purpose in the first place was her, not King Pity." Chu Zhilan's eyes darkened, "I didn't want to care about so many things. ”
As he said, it was because of me that I came to the Candle and entered the Mansion of King Ming, to say that it is indeed me who can't live with him. I was trembling and ready to apologize, but Chu Zhilan suddenly said viciously: "Looking for death." ”
Really, two words in my ears, my legs started to tremble for some reason. I remembered my face cut by a sword in the grove the other day. At this moment, Chu Zhilan gave me the feeling that it was like his cold sword blade slashing across my cheek that day. I'm really afraid that the outstretched hand will touch a piece of ice, but it's okay, it's just that the aura is cold, and people are still hot.
Probably aware of my movements and emotions, Chu Zhilan changed her terrifying expression just now, and comforted me softly: "I didn't mean you. ”
Afraid that I wouldn't believe it, he then showed a rare smile, a little silly: "You won't be scared by me, will you?" How do you show that expression? It's like when you first saw me. ”
If memory serves, the first time I saw you, you had a big beard, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a big face full of hair and a scar......
His ridicule made me relax, and I replied: "You too, why did you show the same smile of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger at the beginning?" "Although I don't know him in Bailing Mountain, but now that I know his details, this kind of harmless pretending to be stupid really thinks I will believe it?
"Do you want me to chase it?" Chu Zhilan changed the topic: "It's just that I can't take you with me." ”
"No, you don't." I replied simply, and patted him on the shoulder proudly, "Follow my sister, I have something important for you to do, do you know where Huai Zhu is called 'Morning Sun'?" I grinned and waited for Chu Zhilan's answer.
I have lived in the palace for twenty years, and even though the palace of Ningguo is magnificent and vast, I know that none of the three palaces and nine palaces is called "Chenyang Palace".
"Yes, it's in the Mansion of King Min."
I was filled with joy and said, "Take me there." ”
