CHAPTER XVI
Please, you're a male protagonist with the aura of the protagonist, and you accept a slap from a strange woman so calmly?
Don't just twist your head to the side and just show a look of nothing wrong with that, okay?
The more insipid Pei Jingqi responded to, the more terrible it seemed to Su Mo, and she couldn't help but sweat for the beautiful woman in front of her.
Su Mo complained in her heart, her face full of sympathy for the woman in front of her.
But the woman didn't seem to take the beating seriously at all, but just looked at her hand with some disgust, and now it was stained with the incense ash on Pei Jingqi's face, probably the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she reached out to give Pei Jingqi a slap.
How can this be endured?
Su Mo quickly grabbed the woman's fallen hand with one hand, and circled half a circle in the air with the other hand, and landed heavily on the woman's face.
In a hurry, he didn't control his strength, and he leaked a little spiritual power, and he knocked the woman to the ground in an instant.
I saw the other party, with five distinct finger prints on the mutton fat jade-like skin, which looked hot, and because of the grinding of teeth and flesh, a little blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
This scene made Su Mo also a little overwhelmed, she didn't think that she would be so ruthless, and then approached the other party, intending to help the other party up.
was pulled by Pei Jingqi again.
The other party motioned to her with his eyes, and whispered, "That thing is coming, we need to get out of here quickly." ”
His expression was nervous and worried, and Su Mo could only follow him, after all, it was important to save his life. She had no choice but to look at the woman on the ground with apologetic eyes, and was immediately pulled away by Pei Jingqi.
Pei Jingqi ran very fast, and in a moment of smoke, the two of them were already far away from the original place, but they could still see a black shadow, hovering over the original position.
The entity that had seen that thing with his own eyes, Su Mo decided that it was Bai Yu who had broken into his dream.
Suddenly, somehow, the black image was attracted by something and flew towards the outside of the palace.
"That direction, like Gu Mengyao's direction?" Su Mo couldn't help but be a little worried.
Pei Jingqi nodded: "That thing was indeed attracted by Shizun, but you don't have to worry about Senior Sister, Shizun is very strong, and he should be able to deal with the other party, plus there is Bai Qi, it won't be a big deal." ”
"Well," Su Mo agreed, but not because she thought Gu Mengyao was so powerful, she just believed in her protagonist's aura, "That's right for your face." ”
As he spoke, Su Mo put his hand close to the side where Pei Jingqi was beaten.
Pei Jingqi instinctively turned his head: "Well~ don't worry." ”
"Don't move," Su Mo stiffened his head, "the ash is rubbed off." ”
"......" Pei Jingqi looked at her for a while, helping her reapply the incense ash.
"Are you really, she didn't hide or fight back when she hit you?" Su Mo felt a little distressed in her heart.
"I ...... This was supposed to be a very good thing to solve, she had been angry, it was time to end it, and running would only provoke the other party and chase after her. ”
Su Mo immediately gave Pei Jingqi a brain meltdown: "Fools say stupid things, patience is often right, but you can't endure everything, people are emotional, and if you don't get vented for a long time, you will get sick." ”
“...... You, what do you want me to do? Although Pei Jingqi was younger than Su Mo, he was about the same size as her, and he bravely looked directly into Su Mo's eyes for the first time.
"I want you? I don't want anything I don't want, just be myself and don't live this life in vain. Su Mo re-smeared the incense ash on Pei Jingqi, "Okay, let's get on with business." ”
After saying that, she was about to leave, but Pei Jingqi wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, and only accompanied her all the way to continue to move forward.
They passed by a small garden, which was in full bloom, and the plants and trees in the garden were growing vigorously, and each one of them was competing with each other, sparing no effort to show their proud form to visitors.
It's just that at this time, there are always screams coming from inside, which can't help but be a little unpleasant.
With the previous lesson, Su Mo didn't want to join in the fun anymore, but the sharp-eyed Pei Jingqi found that the building at the end of the garden was the treasure pavilion they had been looking for.
This discovery made the two of them overjoyed, and after looking at each other, the two walked in together with a tacit understanding.
They had chosen a more secluded path, and the people in the center of the garden would not have noticed them unless they looked closely, but they had a clear view of the scene.
In the center of the garden, a wooden cross was erected, and below it was a copper basin, on which was tied a woman, whose face was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was impossible to distinguish her original appearance. On each side of the woman stood a small eunuch with a barbed wooden stick.
Opposite the few people, there was a gorgeously dressed person who looked like a chief eunuch.
He held a delicate teacup in one hand, raised his orchid fingers in the other, pointed to the opposite side and said in a sharp tone: "Call me, save your breath." ”
After receiving the order, the two little eunuchs showed no mercy at all, and the heavy sticks fell on the woman's abdomen again and again, causing the woman to scream again and again.
Su Mo, who came from modern times, had never seen this kind of torture, and he didn't feel that some hairs stood up.
"What are they doing?" Su Mo asked Pei Jingqi in a whisper as if asking for help.
But Pei Jingqi just shook her head and whispered back to her: "I don't know either." ”
The expressions of both of them were twisted like twisted flowers, and the parties, the eunuchs, looked like they couldn't fight anything. The father-in-law, who was like a head, could still smile at the corners of his mouth, and while "admiring" the scene in front of him, he was leisurely drinking tea.
"Don't blame you, your father-in-law and me, your father and me, I also feel sorry for you~ But who made you so ignorant to seduce the emperor?
Tell me about you, you look a little good, who is not good with you? If you have to go to the emperor to offer your face, if I don't intercede, you will not be punished by the palace, but by death. ”
The father-in-law in charge said distressed words in his mouth, but his expression was not half pity, and he looked like he was watching a play.
Until, when something fell out of the woman's body, he said unhurriedly: "Stop, stop, stop, I know your hands are itchy, but since the queen has already spoken, if you want to spare her life, none of you can kill her."
If you violate the will of the Queen's mother, I will kill you alive. ”
The two little eunuchs, as soon as they heard the Grand Duke's words, had already stopped, and at this time they were already holding the copper basin and handing it to the Grand Duke.
I saw that the eldest duke glanced at the things in the copper basin, and beckoned to the little eunuch in disgust: "Take it away, take it away, whatever you dare to show in front of my eyes." ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately put the copper basin back.
"Put her down," said the big eunuch, pointing to the woman who had passed out on the other side and to the little eunuch, "take care of all these things, call her a doctor, and leave her life to go to the queen mother to thank you." ”
The little eunuch immediately got busy according to the instructions of the grand duke.
The eldest duke took out a handkerchief from his arms, covered his nose, and approached the woman: "Don't blame your godfather, everyone knows that the emperor is single-minded to the queen, and you just go to Xiao to think that you shouldn't have it."
Oops~ Look at it, look at it, what has become of the original fine skin and tender meat. Remember this lesson, take care of your injuries, and when you are well, your godfather will send you out of the palace. ”
The woman struggled for a moment, but never uttered a complete sentence, only repeated intermittently: "Thank you...... Thank...... Thanks, thanks...... Father. ”
Su Mo was frightened by what was happening in front of her, and swallowed frantically.
She was still pulled by Pei Jingqi to move her position.
Those few people, that story gradually came to his back, but it also remained in Su Mo's heart forever.
"Don't think about it," Pei Jingqi saw Su Mo's sluggish face and comforted, "The matter here has nothing to do with us, just take your things and leave." ”
Su Mo nodded, feeling that Pei Jingqi was right, but she didn't know where it was, which made her feel very wrong.
Retracting his thoughts, Su Mo followed Pei Jingqi to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion.
"I'll go in first." Perhaps because he felt that it was unreasonable to let a child who was so much younger than himself lead the way in front, when he entered the door, Su Mo insisted that he go in first to find out the situation.
Pei Jingqi was not worried that Su Mo would go in alone, and replied, "I'll go in with you." ”
"Then you stand behind me, and I will protect you." Su Mo's tone of voice was very firm.
He looked at her, sighed, and said, "Okay." ”
The two of them entered the door very quickly, and quickly closed the door, and the smooth movements made people a little in a trance, whether there were two people who stayed at the door.
The little eunuch who caught a glimpse of this scene didn't know whether he should report this matter to the Grand Duke, but when he saw his companion, with a look like I didn't know anything, he also chose to be silent.
After all, in the palace, more things are better than less things, less is not rewarded, and doing more may cause trouble.
With such thoughts, he quickly hid this matter in his heart, and followed his companions to deal with the matter at hand first.
Su Mo and Pei Jingqi entered the Treasure Pavilion, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them - the magnificent Treasure Pavilion should have hidden rare treasures from all over the world, but now there is not even a valuable thing, it is empty, and there is a lot of dust on the ground.
"Are we in the wrong place?" Su Mo said.
Pei Jingqi observed carefully for a while, pointed to the end of the room and said to Su Mo, "Maybe inside, let's go in and have a look." ”
Following the direction of Pei Jingqi's finger, Su Mo also noticed the room inside and nodded to Pei Jingqi.
The door was opened, making a creaking sound, the facilities were a bit old, and it didn't look like people often came, Su Mo couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Hey, what is this?" Su Mo picked up the few items in the room, and it was covered with dust.
It was a wooden plaque, and Su Mo brushed away the heavy dust covering it, and read: "Worship, my sister, Bai Jie." ”
"Bai Jie?" Su Mo repeated.
Isn't this the name of Bai Yu's cousin, the vicious second female in my book? Is there a place for her here?
"Senior sister? Is there something wrong? Pei Jingqi was originally looking elsewhere, but was attracted by Su Mo's tone.
It's really strange, in my original novel, Bai Jie, as the vicious second woman, should be the sworn enemy of the heroine Bai Yu, how could Bai Yu make a tablet for her? Why did the system change this plot?
