Chapter 25: The Last Journey
In fear, Xiaozhi climbed ashore smoothly, shook the dust on the corner of his skirt, and stood up well, and the tension in Zhu Xiangxiang's body dissipated.
Xiaotang held Zhu Xiangxiang: "Princess, Xiaozhi is safe, don't worry." ”
[The hosts, the products produced by the system are all high-quality, and they are professionally trained. Even if you die unexpectedly, you can redeem your points again. 】
[Didn't you say it earlier!? I've been worried about her for so long. 】
You didn't ask me. 】
【...】
"Princess, there are many people in the pavilion now, let's go later." Twig playful suggestion.
Zhu Xiangxiang raised his eyes and looked at the Huxin Pavilion, only to see that just as she was talking to Xiaozhi, there were already a lot of people crowded on the Huxin Pavilion.
The sound of everyone talking on the small Huxin Pavilion can be heard from afar.
There are a lot of people, and the pavilion area is not large, so it is really not safe for her to go up again.
Pointing to the wide bridgehead, he said, "Let's go to the bridgehead and wait." ”
I wish Xiang Xiang a very sorry life.
Very persuasive.
Those who listen to persuasion live long, and those who do not listen to persuasion have long gone to Hades to report.
With his hands folded in his lower abdomen, Zhu Xiangxiang stood at the head of the bridge with a small branch, waiting not far away for the eunuch palace maid to carry people out.
After waiting for a while, the person who fell into the water didn't wait for the ringing, but waited for Zhang Guifei, who proposed to hold this banquet.
Zhang Guifei, who arrived in a hurry, saw the sound of the celebration standing at the head of the bridge, her steps slowed down, and her scrutinizing eyes stopped on her for a second, and then she hurried towards the Huxin Pavilion without stopping.
Zhu Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows and teased: "Xiaozhi, you say, can today's green plum banquet be held smoothly?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
The corners of Zhu Xiangxiang's lips hooked, and he didn't give himself an answer.
Today's falling into the water can be big or small, to say small, the palace usually dies from time to time, and there are palace maids and eunuchs on the pavilion in the heart of the lake, and it doesn't matter if the palace maids and eunuchs who fall down are dead or alive.
The life of a slave in the eyes of a high-ranking person has never been valuable.
To put it mildly, in addition to the concubines and concubines and the princes and daughters who are present today, the two heavyweights of the emperor and the empress dowager will also come, and the only opportunity to bring the people of the harem together at one time is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the end of the year.
This green plum banquet is disguised, which is equivalent to a small family banquet, and the eyes of the whole palace are now staring at the green plum banquet.
Now there was a falling water incident before the banquet began, which is unlucky on the one hand, and on the other hand, it shows that the green plum banquet is unsafe.
Li Guifei's ability to do things is not in place, and a simple banquet cannot be arranged, and being beaked by others is a good result, but the bad result is that the green plum banquet is canceled, the emperor is furious, and Zhang Guifei loses power over the harem.
The matter is not big or small, it all depends on how Zhang Guifei handles it.
The person who was really in charge came, Zhu Xiangxiang patted the corner of his clothes and left the bridge with peace of mind, returned to the octagonal pavilion to drink tea and eat snacks, and watched the play from afar from time to time.
And with the arrival of Concubine Zhang Guifei on the Huxin Pavilion, the palace maids and eunuchs were like chickens choking their necks, all of them quietly lowered their heads, not daring to shout indiscriminately.
On the edge of the pavilion, Zhang Guifei's sharp gaze swept over the pool, but she only saw the head of the eunuch who was fishing up and down in the pool, she looked indifferent, and said, "Who fell down?" ”
The gaze of the downswoops is indifferent to everything.
Xiao Lizi, who was in a dark blue eunuch suit, knelt on the ground: "Yu Niangniang, it's... It was the two palace maids from Yijing Palace and Zhong Cui Palace who came to help. ”
Zhang Guifei's face was cold, and her lips were red as hot as fire, and she faintly spit out two words: "Waste." ”
Xiao Lizi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in horror: "The slaves told them to pay attention to their feet according to the instructions of the noble concubine Niangniang, but they didn't listen, and they still frolicked while working, and the slaves... As soon as the minions talked about them, they said that the minions were too lenient... That's just... That's it..."
Xiao Lizi's words were full of emptiness, and it was obvious that the truth was not as he said, but the truth of the facts did not matter to Li Guifei.
She is not investigating the case in Dali Temple, what she needs is how to calm this turmoil.
The lotus flowers in the pond are purple and red, and in the greenery of the lotus leaves, Zhang Guifei is standing upright, and her indifferent face seems to have a layer of ice, which is so thick that it can't be dissolved.
The sun gradually rose, the temperature slowly rose, and occasionally a strong wind blew by the pool, blowing the corners of the clothes and cooling the cold sweat on everyone's backs.
I don't know how long it took, and the eunuch who fished in the pool exclaimed, "Found it!" Got it! The pool and pavilion were like a drop of cold water into the oil pot and boiled.
Everyone carried the person ashore with all hands and feet, and before they could detect the breath of the person who fell into the water, Zhang Guifei had already indifferently ordered, saying, "Carry it to the prison and detain it." ”
Jail?
Don't save people?
The female eunuchs of the palace were silent, but they had to do it.
No one can die on the day of the green plum banquet, it is already unlucky to fall into the water, fishing people is a last resort, it takes so long to catch it, no matter whether the person is dead or alive, the answer can not be revealed in the lake pavilion.
It's just two palace maids, if they die, they die, if they live... Just because of sloppiness and disobedience, you can't live normally.
Life is better than death, but drowning, it is a good road.
[Host, Zhang Guifei is really ruthless. 】
007 sighed while watching, and now it finally understands why Zhu Xiangxiang crossed into the novel "Dear General" and was cautious at the beginning.
[The real ruthlessness is not yet the time for you to see it. Zhu Xiangxiang twisted a piece of pastry, his eyelids drooped.
The current Zhang Guifei just doesn't care about the life or death of the palace maid, and the place where the palace maid is really tortured is the major torture she has to face after being imprisoned.
Zhu Xiangxiang didn't know about the torture of the overhead dynasty, but she knew a few of the tortures that really existed in history.
can be known by people, all of them are notoriety accumulated with human life.
[Host, should we go and save them?] 】
Seeing the two little palace maids who were like flowers and jade, being pulled by one foot by one of the two eunuchs, dragged away on the ground, they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they had no respect at all.
The database tells 007 that this is inhumane, how can people's hearts be so cold that they don't even give the last bit of decency?
You're right. 】
Zhu Xiangxiang seemed to remember to save people, picked up the coarse cloth cloth prepared by Xiaozhi on the stone table, slowly wiped the pastry crumbs on his hands, and got up slowly after his fingertips were clean.
[Host, hurry up, wait for everyone to go away.] 】
Seeing the two eunuchs dragging people farther and farther, 007 couldn't help but urge anxiously.
[Got it.] 】
Zhu Xiangxiang quickened his pace a few minutes, and intercepted the eunuch just as he was about to turn into the next corner.
[The host is great!] 007 said happily, [You are the champion of the 800-meter run! 】
[Noisy. 】
【...】
"Meet Princess Jing'an." Two salutes.
Zhu Xiangxiang nodded slightly, his eyes were biased to the two palace maids lying on the ground behind the eunuch, and asked softly, "Are you still alive?" ”
The two eunuchs glanced at each other and shook their heads silently in unison. When they dragged people just now, they had already secretly probed their breath and determined that the two palace maids had already lost their breath.
[Host, we're late. 007's vocal cavity is visibly low.
[They are not fish, it is not normal for people to fall into the water for so long, and they do not die. 】
007 said in a muffled voice, "Forget it if they're dead, we don't care about them hosts." 】
[Yes.] 】
Seeing that Zhu Xiangxiang's eyes could not move away from the corpse, the older eunuch was bold and said, "The princess forgives her sins, but she is just two sinners, and she dies when she dies." After they died, they dared to stain the princess's eyes, which was really not a pity to die. ”
As he spoke, he snorted heavily, his face full of disgust.
[It's too much! The two little palace maids didn't do anything wrong, how could he say that? 007 is upset for the two palace maids.
【...】
"Got it."
Zhu Xiangxiang took out a finely embroidered silk handkerchief from his bosom while carrying it, walked to the two palace maids on the ground and squatted down, lowered his eyebrows, and carefully wiped the dirt on their cheeks.
muttered to himself in a low voice: "It's clean, go with peace of mind, remember to be reincarnated in a good family in the next life." ”
"Your Royal Highness, the minion you just said didn't hear clearly." The older eunuch said embarrassedly.
It's no wonder that he has bad hearing, but Zhu Xiangxiang said it too quietly.
"Let's go find two more eunuchs and carry them on the last journey with dignity." Zhu Xiangxiang took out another identical handkerchief, unfolded it together, and gently covered the faces of the two deceased.
007: [Host, you're so kind!] 】
Zhu Xiangxiang pouted: [You think too much, it's their faces that are too white, and they look weird and scary in broad daylight. 】
[Host, do you hate that you don't have lipstick and eyebrow pencil?] 】
[I'm a princess, not an undertaker!] 】
[Host, you can actually call Xiaozhi back to Fengyang Palace to get it. 】
007 has scanned Fengyang Palace, and it is clear how many cosmetics I wish Xiangxiang had.
【... Shut up, I don't make up for the dead! I wish the ringing of the collapse emphasized.
【...】
There were eunuchs everywhere by the lotus pond, and the two eunuchs would soon be able to find them, and the four eunuchs were about to carry the corpses away, when Concubine Li came.
mocked: "Princess Jing'an's personal handkerchief was given to two dead people like this, it's not too unlucky!?" ”
The personal handkerchiefs of the women of Li are mostly used as tokens of love between men and women, and they are indeed very unlucky for the dead.
Of course, Zhu Xiangxiang knew that when ordinary people heard Li Guifei's words, they would have been so frightened that they would run away dozens of meters away.
But I wish Xiang Xiang is not an ordinary person.
Who would join the excitement of the dead in ordinary people?
[Ordinary people will not see someone fall into the water, and they can still eat pastries leisurely on the scene as happy as watching a play.] 007 to make up.
[If you test any idea, it will only hurt you. 】
007 is silent, [...] I was wrong. 】
gave the four eunuchs who carried the corpse next to him a look, and watched the corpse leave, Zhu Xiangxiang's eyes were put on Li Guifei, and said: "As long as no one has anything to do with the handkerchief, the two handkerchiefs are just ordinary handkerchiefs, this princess gives it above board, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
"You!"
Zhang Guifei's face is not very good-looking, what is a person who has nothing to do?
Will she go and get the dead man's veil?
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the richly dressed Concubine Li in front of him, and suddenly figured out the reason why she appeared inexplicably.
Today is a special day, and it is estimated that Zhang Guifei is coming over now to threaten her.
