Chapter 140: Prison Bird
Udoland led a group of men and horses to leave the royal capital for many days, taking the official road at a fast speed, and saw the post station not long after nightfall.
The early spring night was cold, and there was nothing important, so there was no need to rush overnight, and the group rested at the post station, and Udolander's heart was stuffy, so he drank a few more glasses of wine, but the more he drank, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply went outside to breathe.
Udoland sat depressedly on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked at the stars in the sky and said to himself, "Grandfather, aunt, and great-brother, I have done my best here, I just hope that he will not regret it one day......
The cool breeze was blowing, and the newly sprouted branches rustled with her, and although Udoland was worried, she was not born to be a person who liked to drill the horns of the bull, and she had done her best, so why should she embarrass herself.
Apart from......
"Ah Huan ......"
Udorand's eyes dimmed, thinking about what kind of scene everything would be like now if her Ah Huan was still there......
"Alas......
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, thinking that she had drunk too much wine and would have to hurry tomorrow, so she casually pushed the wine jug in front of her, planning to go back to the house to rest.
But the moment he turned around, a cool breeze suddenly hit behind him.
Udoland was a person who had been on the battlefield, she keenly caught the surging killing intent behind her, and with the sound of the blade breaking through the air, she nimbly dodged the long sword behind her.
At the same time, the soft sword hidden at his waist was unsheathed, and he turned and swung his sword to block the man's second attack.
"Don't come unharmed, Lady Udo."
A hoarse and piercing voice sounded, and Udolander looked fixedly, her heart "popped", and the soft sword in her hand was almost out of her hand.
"It's you!!"
In the middle of the night, in a mansion in the capital city of Chiyuan.
Si Nanyue sat in the mirror, and the maid plucked the hairpin on her head.
She looked at the woman standing beside her in the silver mirror, and said softly, "These days, the princess has been wronged to do these rough jobs."
"What the city lord said, if it weren't for the city lord's help, my sisters probably wouldn't have been able to get out of that small courtyard for the rest of their lives."
Now she is still regarded as the lord of Zelu City, I am afraid that there are only these two princesses of Ganquan City.
Si Nanyue smiled bitterly and said, "I have already stepped down from the position of city lord, Princess Jinhuan don't call me that anymore, just call me by my name."
"Wouldn't it be too rude to have a difference in rank."
"You and I are the same age, and we are the same generation, why not?"
Aunt Yulin has always been extremely strict, and she can't rub sand in her eyes, even if the two princesses Jinhuan and Jinni are not from their aunt, they should have been taught under their aunt.
"Okay......
Jin Huan took off the last hairpin from her head and asked, "What is Miss Nanyue's plan to do next?"
"The next thing is to send you two sisters out of the abyss as soon as possible, the longer the delay, the more dangerous you become."
"I'm asking, Miss Nanyue, ...... yourself," Jin Huan helped her up and sat on the couch, "After sending us away, how is the girl going to get out?"
Si Nanyue smiled and said, "I can't leave, I'll stay here, and I'm happy to end this as soon as possible."
"But ......"
Jin Huan frowned lightly, she sighed and said: "When I was married to Chiyuan in the future, Mrs. Yulin often thought about the girl, for so many years, she was always worried about you, but until the immortal died, she couldn't see the girl again, the girl should take care of herself!"
Speaking of the deceased, both of them were a little sad, and Jin Huan's eyes were full of tears.
Si Nanyue couldn't see anyone crying the most, she pretended to smile easily, "Don't worry, it's okay."
As the two were talking, the maid outside said, "Niangniang, the dining room has made white fungus bird's nest, will you bring it now?"
It was Nuo Min's voice, Nuo Min was Lan Nuo's informant, and it was also the person Lan Nuo specially arranged by her side, she should have something important at this time, Si Nanyue's mind moved, and said, "Bring it up."
When Nuo Min came in, he found that there were no outsiders, so he put the plate on the table and said to Si Nanyue, "Niangniang, our people have replaced the people who came to the house to deliver melons
Fruit and vegetable vendors, tomorrow on the fifth watch, they will enter through the back door to cover the escape of the two princesses."
Si Nanyue's eyes flashed, "Everything is in accordance with what I said?"
"Hmm!"
Although it was not the best time, she still didn't have time, and since she decided to give it a go, she didn't hesitate anymore.
In less than five watches, the two sisters were arranged in the backyard early, and as soon as the people who answered came, they hid in the empty vegetable basket and left with their own people pretending to be hawkers.
Because of Nanxing's escape, both the palace and the royal city are now under martial law, and for the sake of safety, Si Nanyue did not arrange for them to go out of the city, and sent them out after the rumors passed for a while.
Si Nanyue stood in front of the window, watching them leave with trepidation, and Nuo Min said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, everything has been arranged, and nothing will go wrong."
She nodded, and asked, "Where are the two bodies found?"
"In the well in the backyard, my face has also been treated, and no one will find out."
"Good." Si Nanyue exhaled quietly, "This is the fourth day, calculate the time...... The news is about to spread to the palace, pack up in advance, and you should be able to return to the palace before nightfall today."
"Yes."
Sure enough, someone came to the palace at lunchtime, saying that she would go back with her regret today, and she would set off immediately without delay.
Xi'er has been playing wild outside these days, and when she heard that she was going back, Si Nanyue asked casually, "Why is the king suddenly in such a hurry to let the palace and the princess return to the palace?"
The guard who came to herald hesitated and said, "Niang Niang, there are some things that my subordinates can't disclose, and you will know when you go back."
The guard's attitude proved that what Si Nanyue wanted came true, and a smile flashed across the corner of her mouth, it seemed that the matter had been done.
As soon as she went out, she saw that there was a bird under the eaves that was similar to the head of the millet group, and she kept flying around the birdcage.
"Queen Mother, come and see, the mother of the millet group has come to see it!"
Si Nanyue walked out of the room, covered the too dazzling sunlight with her hands, and sure enough, she saw that there was an extra bird next to the birdcage.
It flapped its wings and stopped on the outside of the cage, clutching the copper wire at the bottom of the cage with its little paws, and poking its pointed beak inside.
The usually quiet millet group also flew up and down at this time, no matter how the regret persuaded it, it didn't stop, its waving wings hit the perch again and again, making a "bang" sound, and a few light yellow feathers fell to the bottom of the cage.
"Queen Mother...... "Regret tugged at her sleeve with teary eyes, "Let's let the millet group go, if it goes on like this, it will hurt."
"I don't want to raise it anymore?"
"No, I like it very much, but ...... But...... It's because I like it that I don't want to see it hurt myself, so let's let them go, okay?"
Looking at the regrets that were almost crying when she was sad, Si Nanyue's heart fluctuated faintly.
"Okay, then do as the penitent said."
Si Nanyue took down the birdcage, and the bird seemed to know that they were going to let it out, and suddenly it was quiet, and its little furry head was tilted to the side, looking at them with those round and bright eyes.
"Millet Tuan, you go with your mother, if you come back to me when you're hungry, we're still good friends."
Regret's chubby fingers reached into the birdcage, gently stroked the bird's fluff, and after saying goodbye to the millet group, Regret reached out and opened the cage door.
The bird flew from the bottom of the cage to the perch, looking at the regret with its round eyes, and chirping twice, as if in response to her.
Then the birds flapped their wings and flew out of the small cage for the first time in a long time, frolicking with the bird outside, and they flew upwards until they flew out of the breathless house.
Si Nanyue watched their figures disappear into the pavilion, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, with relief and envy in her eyes.
In the palace, there was a wooden lacquer plate on the royal table in the main hall, and the things on the lacquer plate were bulging.
The blood-stained white cloth covered the contents tightly.
Helian Du stared at the thing tightly, and did not take his eyes off it for a long time, he resisted the fear in his heart several times, and tried to lift the white cloth, but when his fingers touched the blood-stained white cloth, he hurriedly moved away.
"Your Majesty, the queen has returned to the palace with Princess An Ning."
"Let's go down."
Helian Duel's voice was weak, and he sat on the throne exhausted, and his physical and mental exhaustion did not look as strong as before.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with summoning your courtiers over at this time? Are you in a good mood today and want to cash in those hundred taels of gold?"
Holding the freshly picked flower branch in her hand, Ah Rishan walked into the hall with brisk steps, and the smile on her face stopped abruptly when her eyes touched the lacquer plate.
"King, what is that thing before you...... What is it?"
Helian never answered, and looking at his face, Ah Rishan suddenly had a bad premonition.
Could it be......
Blood dripped from the white cloth and flowed from the imperial case to the Shisheng Stone on the ground, and Ah Rishan resisted fear and walked to the lacquer plate step by step.
"Tick...... Tick ......"
The sound made Ah Rishan even more uneasy, she swallowed her saliva, her fingertips touched the white cloth with trembling, and she was about to lift it open, but Helian Jue grabbed her wrist.
With a pale face, he finally spoke.
"Come alone."
"Good ......"
Ah Rishan withdrew his hand, only to see the blood cloth lifted, and the eldest sister's blood-stained head suddenly appeared in the middle of the case.
"Ahh
Ah Rishan covered his mouth and took a few steps back, his legs went limp, and his whole body fell on the cold and hard Shikatsu stone.
"Long ...... Eldest sister...... Eldest sister ......"
She scrambled to her feet, stumbling to Udoland's head, and looked at her bloodstained face in disbelief for a long time, unable to believe that this was her eldest sister.
How is this possible?!
They have only been separated for less than five days, and when the eldest sister left, she told her to be careful, and when she had enough, she would go back to the wilderness, why did she suddenly ......
"Your Majesty...... The king...... What's going on? Is this disguise! Right...... This must be a disguise technique, my eldest sister is so powerful, how could she die? Whose prank is this, so that my aunt and grandmother will definitely behead him when they are caught!!
"Ah Ri Shan ......"
"Your Majesty, you immediately send someone to Araki, the eldest sister must have arrived there, you send someone to find out whose handiwork this is, I will kill him with my own hands!"
"Ah Rishan...... Stand down......
"No! Give me an answer, O king, this man...... This person is obviously not the eldest sister, she is not like the eldest sister at all, don't believe me wipe it clean, you can look at it......
Ah Rishan deceived himself and wiped the blood stains on Udoland's face with a brocade handkerchief, but there was too much blood on her face, and she couldn't wipe it clean at all, and even the brocade pad embroidered with a galloping horse turned red.
Ah Rishan's thoughts were messy, and he didn't know what to do, so he sat on the ground with Udoland's head in his arms, and cried hysterically.
