4. Walk on the tiger's tail, not to be a fool

"Hungry?"

The queen raised her head, held her cheeks, and stared at him quietly with a pair of phoenix eyes, as if she was thinking about what this third prince who was known as a lustful prince on weekdays meant.

For a long time, she snorted coldly, looking at Xia Yan as if she was looking at a waste, a scumbag, a worthless but mustered waste material.

But she immediately closed her eyes, hid this look, and then said lightly: "Bengong knows." ”

After a slight pause, she said, "Xiaoqing, take the palace oracle and take the third prince to the Bliss Palace." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi came out of the darkness again and shouted softly: "Okay~"

Xia Yan noticed the queen's eyes, and thought of the previous attitude of the girl in white towards him, and smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.

It seems that these three princes are really not welcomed, and this "courtesy" has been added to him.

...

...

The palace is huge.

This is much bigger than the palace in Xia Yan's cognition, he had seen it before when he left the palace in a dream.

The speed of the carriage is not slow, but it still takes more than half an hour to get out of the palace from the harem, in other words, it takes more than an hour.

It took more than an hour for a carriage trip to outline a certain straight line distance of the palace, where is the palace, this is simply a small city.

After a long time...

I think the carriage has already left the harem.

After Xia Yan calmed down, he was in a trance, and suddenly... He heard screams of pain and despair not far away, both men and women.

Through the curtain of the car, he looked sideways, but saw more than a dozen people being tied to the open-air rack by the five flowers, and a strong man with a bare body was grabbing a soldering iron from the blazing stove and imprinting them fiercely.

Even from a distance, Xia Yan could still see the skin and flesh blooming, the green smoke rising, and the endless screams...

He is a person who came from a peaceful and prosperous era, and this scene has only been seen on TV before, at this time... The Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.

After a little more travel, he suddenly saw an iron-fenced clearing, surrounded by soldiers and men in brocade clothes.

And in the clearing, a strange two-headed lion hunts.

But the hunting object of this two-headed lion... But they are living people, more than ten living people.

When the carriage reached the nearest place to the fence, Xia Yan happened to see the two-headed lion pounce on a person, and the blood basin bit the man's head, and it was bitten with a click.

Xia Yan only felt a little churning in his abdomen.

Suddenly, he realized he was wrong.

Before, he always thought... Isn't it just crossing?

But now, he felt a heaviness, and a sharp danger that was imminent.

He sat in the carriage, but he vaguely felt that everything around him had become dark, and the road on which the carriage was traveling was a tightrope... On both sides, there is a bottomless abyss.

He... It is on the line of this abyss, step by step, and if you are not careful, you will die a tragic death.

Perhaps, he died worse than the people he had just seen.

It's not a time of peace and prosperity here...

He's not a law-abiding person anymore.

Realizing this, the boy suddenly felt heavy, and above his head was like a bloody butcher's knife, ready to fall down and kill him.

He took a deep breath and swept out all the chaos in his stomach and confusion in his mind.

In the Book of Changes, there is a hexagram in the fulfillment.

Said: Walking on the tiger's tail, not a man, Heng.

This hexagram means to walk carefully behind the tiger, but the tiger will not bite you, so you will be prosperous.

How do you keep a tiger from biting you?

Cautious, resolute, decisive, careful...

The queen is a tiger.

With the queen as a shield, then he is safe and sound.

But if he is known by the queen that he is not the third prince... The tiger might turn its head around and turn him... Eat!

...

...

"The Palace of Bliss... It's here. Xiaoqing stopped the carriage, leaned his face into the curtain, and shouted softly.

Xia Yan answered, got out of the carriage, glanced at the palace in front of him, and walked forward.

A fragrant breeze blows in the face.

But this fragrance is not the fragrance of food, but the taste of her daughter's rouge gouache.

After walking for a few more breaths, I saw a beautiful female official holding a fan, hurrying over from afar, and shouting with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness... It's been a long time since you've been here, and the girls in the palace miss you.

A few days ago, General Wang's youngest daughter was sent, his youngest daughter is quite famous in Yujing City, and she is resolute, she is a wild rouge horse, this is not... Xia Guan has been keeping this little rouge horse, waiting for His Highness to surrender in person. ”

Xia Yan understood where this was.

He also understood that the queen had misunderstood what he meant.

He simply wanted to eat, but the queen understood what he meant by "hungry" to something else.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, the female official smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you don't like fierce horses, are you interested in trying talented women?"

Scholar Zhao also had an accident a few days ago, and his talented little lady was also sent to the Bliss Palace.

The little lady is soft and glutinous, even if she sees a little wind and a little flower, she will also show sadness and cry...

If His Royal Highness takes pity on her, gives rain and dew grace, and then speaks softly, so that she can be comforted, I am afraid that she will not stick to His Highness in the future. ”

The female official was talking with a lotus flower, and was talking with a smile, but saw the Third Highness suddenly take half a step back.

"There's something going on today."

Xia Yan said, turned around silently, and returned when he went back and forth, leaving only the female official looking at his back in surprise.

In a few moments, the boy was already in front of the carriage.

Xiaoqing was cowering in the shadows of the Mitemo, not even seeing her if she didn't look closely.

But as soon as the boy arrived, Xiaoqing opened his eyes, and then showed a look of confusion.

The man in front of her shouldn't be here, but should enter the Palace of Bliss, rolling in the rouge pile of the warbler Yanyan, climbing on the belly of the white flowers...

"Your Highness?"

The young man stood in the wind and snow, the python clothes were stained with a lot of snow and dust, his eyes were clear, and he said, "I'm hungry." ”

Xiao Qing raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the Elysium Palace.

The young man said, "I want to eat." ”

Xiao Qing was puzzled, and said softly: "In the Bliss Palace... There is also food. ”

The young man said, "I only eat." ”

Xiaoqing asked, "Did they offend His Highness?" ”

The young man said: "I just got assassinated, I'm not in the mood, I just want to eat." ”

Xiaoqing frowned in distress, muttered "*&M%M¥P", and then shouted: "Your Highness, it's too late to go back, the best place to eat around is the Paradise Palace, and besides, there are only some restaurants in the imperial city." ”

The young man said, "I don't want to go to the Palace of Bliss. ”

He had already guessed what the place was in the Palace of Bliss, which was probably the top priest, who was selected from among the daughters of the exiled officials' families and sent here for the exclusive enjoyment of the royal magnates.

He came to this troubled world, although it was difficult to protect himself, but he... I don't want to trample on the dignity of others and ask for a happy life before death.

Xiao Qing's eyes lit up and said, "There is a shop below in the imperial city, and the big meat is very big. ”

But then she was gloomy again.

How could the Third Highness go and eat such a thing?

She was just confused by the strange behavior of the Third Highness, thinking that the Third Highness was not a poor and extravagant womanizer, so she said a shop she liked to go to.

However, the Third Highness in front of her said, "Okay, take me there." ”
