Chapter 23: Danger

On the official road, as soon as he rode away, his eyes were red, his face was haggard, and he seemed to have been running for a few days.

Along the way, I kept seeing the red feathers of the danque, but she was always one step behind, I wonder if Ah Chen is safe, and if that madman has done anything to her?

Thinking of this, the horsewhip whipped a few more times, and the black horse under his crotch hissed, and continued to run forward.

After being in a daze on the carriage for nearly ten days, Murong Qian has always been gentle with her, and Yan Chuchen also pretended to cooperate.

Murong Qian's consciousness seemed to be getting more and more excited, and he often muttered to her: "Sister Chen, my queen mother is very kind, she is dependent on me for what she means, and we will get married immediately when we go back." ”

"Okay, Ah Yun, how long will it be before we arrive?" Yan Chuchen asked softly.

"We've already entered the Void Realm, don't you think the scenery around you is different?" Murong Qian said.

Yan Chuchen was stunned for a moment, she woke up today, looked out from the small air window in the dark grid, and suddenly there were flowers all around, she had been waking up and sleeping these days, and thought that she was hallucinating.

"If the virtual realm is the secret realm of our Murong clan, for thousands of years, protecting the clansmen and generating roots, you will know when you arrive." Murong Qian looked proud.

While speaking, the group entered a peach forest, and the blooming peach petals floated in the forest, which was really a beautiful picture.

The attendant at the head stopped, reached out and took out a token with a nine-clawed golden dragon pattern, pinched a mantra in his left hand, and after a few movements, the peach forest in front of him actually moved.

The carriage slowly walked into the road where the peach grove was moved, and after a while, a pavilion appeared, and the crowd was bustling, so it was not prosperous.

The carriage stopped in front of a splendid palace. Murong Qian helped her down from the carriage, and Yan Chuchen looked at the crowd passing by, although they were all laughing, they didn't know where they looked a little strange.

"This is our Yulin Palace in Daqing, and this will be your home from now on!" Murong Qian introduced Yan Chuchen with love in his eyes.

"The lower official pays a visit to the prince." A black-robed man flashed out of nowhere.

"Continuation, you're here, Chuchen, come on, I'll introduce you." Murong Qian pulled Yan Chuchen to the man's side.

As soon as the man raised his head, the blue-black lines on his face startled Yan Chuchen, but unexpectedly, the other party also took a step back in fright when he saw Yan Chuchen.

"This is the great wizard of Daqing, and it is also the father who raised me, since I was a child, my father was buried in the emperor, and my father taught the art of assisting the emperor."

"Father, this is Yan Chuchen, my future queen." Murong Qian said excitedly.

"Prince, can we take a step to speak?" and continue to salute in the right color.

Murong Qian lost his smile, turned his head to the guards behind him and said, "You take the crown princess to Xiaochen Hall to rest." ”

After Yan Chuchen walked away, Jian Xu immediately knelt on his knees and arched his hands: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this woman can't stay!" ”

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Chu Chen, but my crown princess! Murong Qian lowered his face and scolded.

"The old man saw the shadow of death in her, and her appearance directly changed the fate of our dynasty. No wonder I watched the stars a few months ago and found that the sky was reversed, which directly cut off the national brewery of Daqing, but fortunately, the disaster star was still far from the lifeblood of our country at that time, and it was not uprooted. ”

"But this time, His Royal Highness the Prince, you actually brought the disaster star directly into the realm of the void, it is really a great celebration of the death of the heavens!" Jian Xu anxiously pointed to the ground with his cane: "The only way to do it now is to sacrifice this woman's blood, and I personally do it, can I beat the Heavenly Dao back to the original way." ”

"Don't say it, Father! How can my Daqing's national fortune be tied to a woman, Yan Chuchen is already my crown princess. I'm going to take her to see the queen mother!" Murong walked away.

"The sky is going to die, my big celebration!" He continued to look up to the sky and sighed, Yin Wu's eyes stared at the direction where Yan Chuchen disappeared, "I will never let you ruin my Daqing foundation." ”

Several guards took Yan Chuchen to a very elegant palace room, Yan Chuchen was born in the royal family since she was a child, and brocade clothes and jade food have long been commonplace for her, but entering this palace room, it also surprised her, unlike the golden splendor of other palaces, the furniture of golden silk nanmu, the style is simple and noble, and there are only countless books and scrolls decorated around, on the flower stands, the well-maintained famous orchids are rare even in the palace.

I picked up a book and looked at it, but found that the book was full of the owner's annotations and experiences, and under careful reading, it was quite insightful, and the handwriting was beautiful and small, as if it was written by a woman.

"First Dust, First Dust!" Just as Yan Chuchen was immersed in the hostess's world, Murong Qian walked in happily.

"Ah Yun, you're here!" Yan Chuchen put down the scroll: "What kind of place is this, how is it so elegant, its owner must be an extraordinary person." ”

"I knew you would like it, it was built here according to the appearance of my mother's queen before she came out of the pavilion, there was a place in the palace before, and when I came here, I asked the old palace people to build one according to their memories." Murong Qian said.

"Your mother is Han?" Yan Chuchen asked curiously.

"Yes, my father fell in love with my mother at first sight, and then I was born, and I was the crystallization of their love." Murong Qian said excitedly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to my mother, and she'll be waiting for us in the inner room!" As he spoke, he pressed an incense burner on the table, and a dark room appeared on the wall of the palace room.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Murong Qian dragged Yan Chuchen into the dark room.

Separated by a wall, this place is full of gloomy and eerie atmosphere, and the surrounding area is lit by a dark night pearl, which seems to add a bit of horror.

After turning a few corners, Murong Qian shouted: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, look, I brought your daughter-in-law, her name is Yan Chuchen, are you still satisfied?" ”

Just when Yan Chuchen lowered his head and wondered why Yiguo lived in such a place in the future, he heard Murong Qian's cry and looked up, and was shocked to take a few steps back.

In front of me is a very large glass water tank, the liquid in the box is faintly blue, and a woman in a gorgeous costume floats in the liquid. The woman's dress and hair are suspended in the water, she looks young when she is not 30 years old, and the body in the water is usually swollen and rotten, but her skin is ruddy, and even seems to be breathing. If you look closely, there are bubbles floating out of your body.

"Come on, Chuchen, this is my queen mother, she is beautiful! Come and meet the Queen Mother! Murong Qian pulled Yan Chuchen to kneel down and greet the queen.

Afterwards, Murong Qian chattered a lot with the woman who was soaked in the water, which was nothing more than some trivial things that had happened recently.

After coming out of the dark room, Murong Qian wanted to talk to Yan Chuchen for a while, but was interrupted by a guard who came in to report, and then Murong Qian hurriedly explained twice and went with the guard.

Yan Chuchen wandered around boredly in the Xiaochen Palace, saying that she was allowed to move freely, but there were heavily armed guards at the door.

The strange scene just now always lingered in her heart, and the people in this place also had an unnatural enthusiasm, and it always felt wrong.

Sitting at the desk, Yan Chuchen picked up the scroll on the table and looked at it. Inadvertently, a crimson book fell from a jade bead book.

There are a lot of words written densely inside, like a diary.

Day 1: Where is this? Why did he bring me here, my father must have missed me.

Day 2: The palace is like this, the emperor is older than my father, but I really don't want to stay in the palace anymore, I really want to go home.

……

Day 218: The emperor died, and the kingdom was destroyed, but they didn't let me go, saying that they were going to take me to a place called Ruoxujing, and I was so scared.

Day 295: I have to take some medicine every day that I don't know what it is, saying that I want to prepare for the emperor's bloodline, but isn't the emperor dead? I let how to give birth to the blood of a dead man.

Day 306: Today they stunned me, I don't remember what happened after that, my stomach hurts, they are all celebrating, saying that it is a great blessing for the world that the imperial bloodline has been continued. Has it entered my body?

……

Day 565: My belly is getting bigger and bigger, I feel more and more disgusting, I hate it, it's not my child, it's a monster, I must not let it be born.

Day 600: The doctor said that the next few days are about to give birth, and their guard of me is much weaker, and today I will take it with me to die, and death is the best relief for us.

The recording stopped at this point, and it seems that the owner has a reason not to write it anymore. Looking at the gradually crazy font and scattered logic, you can also see the change in mental condition.

Seeing this, Yan Chuchen roughly knew that the owner of this notebook should be the last empress of the former emperor Chao Murong Zhaode. According to legend, Murong Zhao can't give birth to people, and he hasn't given birth to heirs, and the people of Miaojiang have the most important bloodline, even if he can't give birth to an heir, other people's bloodlines will not be certified.

It is estimated that this person who was called the queen mother by Murong Kuan was plundered and cast some kind of evil magic before she became pregnant with Murong Zhaode's flesh and blood, which can also explain why she was born after the founding of the Great Xingguo, but Murong Kuan is two years younger than her, but according to this calculation, he was not born at a normal time, could it be that he continued to grow in the belly of a dead corpse for a year?

Such a conjecture made her shudder, this place can't stay for a long time, she must find a way to escape, Murong Qian failed this time, there must be a next plan, this time they were not completely wiped out, it is a big hidden danger for the imperial court, and we must find a way to solve it.

While he was thinking about it, a group of maid-like girls walked in, and the leader gave a salute. said softly: "Crown Princess, the prince ordered us to bathe and change clothes for the crown princess." ”

After speaking, he led Yan Chuchen to a room, and it turned out that there was a hot spring in this Xiaochen Palace.

"Go out, I'll do it myself!" Yan Chuchen slept in the open all the way, and he had long wanted to take a bath.

Several handmaidens looked at each other: "The servants don't dare, and ask the princess to let me wait." Otherwise, the prince will definitely cure us for our sins. ”

"You go out, the prince asked, and said that it was the princess who said it." Yan Chuchen picked up the majesty of the eldest princess, and several servants were immediately too frightened to speak and retreated.
