18 Chapter XVIII
However, in a few days, all the peonies in the Imperial Garden have bloomed, most of the flowers have bloomed to their peak, and a few petals are in full bloom and decay, almost decaying, withering to the ground, trampled under people's feet, crushed into dust.
Bigeler lived in the Warm Flower Pavilion near the Imperial Garden, which was originally a place for the queen to enjoy the flowers and rest, after Bigeler came, he did not want to live outside the palace, and he chose the most beautiful courtyard in the palace to live, and the emperor had to agree because of his face.
Ever since Xiao Yunci injured his meridians that day, Bigeler has been closed in the Warm Flower Pavilion to recuperate and rest.
Wen Ning followed behind Gonggong Xu, skipped the flowers in the imperial garden, walked through the rockery and the flower pavilion, and saw the famous warm flower pavilion standing among the flowers, beautiful like a fairyland.
Ironically, in the fairyland, there is an evil ghost.
"Miss Wen, please." Smile lines flowed from the corners of Gonggong Xu's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to guide Wen Ning forward, "The two grandmothers in the palace are already waiting inside, and the ones you have picked are the best temperamental grandmothers, and the Tatar teachers over there should not be too harsh on the girls, Miss Wen don't have to worry." β
"Thank you Grandpa Xu for taking care of me." Wen Ning gave him a big salute as a thank you.
"Miss Wen is calm and sensible, and naturally knows how to focus on the overall situation...... The emperor still has important matters for me to deal with, so I will leave. β
Wen Ning understood that what he meant in this sentence was to let her cooperate with Bigram and those grandmothers, and not to make other things annoy the emperor.
She nodded in response, indicating that she understood.
"Go, don't keep Prince Biegler waiting." Xu Jingqi saw that she understood quickly, and smiled approvingly.
Wen Ning's heart was heavy, she stepped into the courtyard, and before she entered the inner courtyard, the door slammed behind her back, Wen Ning was so frightened that she was shocked, and looked at the two guards at the door, but saw that they were all Tartar people, with big waists and round eyes, and looked at her with a frown.
Wen Ning struggled to control her mind...... Qingyue is not stupid, she should understand what she means, it is for her to go to the East Palace for help.
She is now embattled, and the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, and there should have been no hope and thoughts for a long time, but Xiao Yunci's words yesterday rekindled a bright fire in her heart.
Whether it was as Uncle Lin said, Xiao Yun's ambition to deceive the old ministry was for the sake of the old department, or whether he really sacrificed his life for Qi Weiming's brother, Wen Ning felt that she had to give her time to give it a try.
She didn't want to accept her fate after all, no matter what the future holds, whether she could escape this catastrophe or not, she wanted to give it a try.
She had to get through this today.
The sun was just right outside, Wen Ning took a few steps forward, and when he turned a little, he saw Biegler wearing a fur jacket with wide cuffs spread on the ground, and he himself was lazily lying on the soft couch unique to Beiming, and a pair of sharp eyes next to the scar slowly raised his eyes and pierced Wen Ning's body.
"The weather in Beiming is good." Biegler didn't look annoyed on his face, and he didn't get angry and retaliate against her for what happened last time, but he looked in a good mood, as if he had been served extremely comfortably in the past few days, and washed away a little bit of his anger.
Wen Ning stiffened forward, but suddenly realized that something was wrong......
If it is as Xu Gonggong said, there will be a grandmother to guide when you come in, not only the grandmother of Beiming, but also the Tatar teaching, but now...... In a huge courtyard, there was only one prince of Bigram.
He lay on the couch on all fours, his aggressive eyes swirling on Wen Ning's body.
"Eating the sweetest fruits of Beiming, drinking the most mellow wine, waiting for the best beauties of Beiming." The corners of Biegler's mouth hooked, he took a sip of wine, and licked his lips, "How can people be reluctant to leave?" Wen Ning, you say, does this king want to take away the whole world of Beiming? β
Obviously full of sunshine, the flowers in the courtyard are blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing, but Wen Ning feels cold all over, and there is no temperature at all.
Seeing that she stiffened and did not speak, Biegler chuckled under his breath, and then slowly stood up.
Wen Ning subconsciously took a step back, her face pale.
"Then the emperor will play, and he has sent several beauties to serve in the past few days." Biegler slowly approached her, his majestic body approaching her like a mountain, "It's a pity, I can only play all night." β
Wen Ning was forced by him to take half a step back, almost retreating into the flowers in the corner.
The fragrance behind it was fragrant, but Wen Ning only felt suffocated, and Bigram was like a terrifying demon, and the words he spit out could almost kill people.
"Do you know why it's only one night?" Biegler smiled, leaning over and grabbing the back of her neck, his fingers thick and strong, and his iron claws clung at her without the slightest hint of pity.
She was stiff and unable to move, like a cat twisted by the back of her neck, forced to look up at him.
In her resistant, frightened gaze, Bigram smiled wildly, and the smile was reflected in her pupils, "There was so much blood that it stained the bed." β
Wen Ning breathed a little.
Biegler seemed to enjoy the fear in her eyes, and he looked at her carefully, and beneath the neckline was a snow-white neck, almost white glowing in the sunlight.
Finding that Biegler's gaze fell on his neckline with bad intentions, Wen Ning hurriedly spoke, with a bit of deliberate weakness and obedience in his tone, as if he was really frightened by what he said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what happened in the Imperial Garden last time, please don't be angry. β
"You know, Beiming women pay attention to chastity, and the emperor has not yet issued a holy decree to confirm that I will be with you, so I naturally don't want to ...... before this Dedicated, dedicated to you. Wen Ning tried her best to make her voice sound unresistant.
Fortunately, these words seemed to be of some use, and the palm of Biegler's hand on the back of her neck was slightly loosened, and the gaze that looked at her was also a little playful and patient.
"Oh? And now? Biegler seemed to be in a good mood and grinned, "Changed your mind?" Willing to volunteer? β
Wen Ning swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said.
"Now that the emperor has issued an edict, I am already you...... Your people, naturally, are willing. β
After Wen Ning said this, he felt that Bigele's breath condensed, as if a beast was preparing to pounce on its prey, and as if he was in some interest, his breathing suddenly became heavy and short.
In the next moment, he came up and was about to tear her shirt.
"But not today!" Wen Ning pressed one hand against his chest, cold sweat breaking out.
His movements were too fast, his movements were direct and full of bestiality, and after two "rounds", the string in her head was almost about to break, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered, insisting on delaying time.
Qingyue is not stupid, she will definitely go to Xiao Yunci, last time it was Xiao Yunci who rescued her, this time maybe she can wait......
Her heart trembled, and she tried to calm herself, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's really unfortunate today, I came to Guishui, so naturally I have no preparation for serving His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really rude." β
Wen Ning saw that he didn't react, and then said, "According to the emperor's instructions, I am here today to teach the etiquette of your grandmothers and His Royal Highness the Prince...... Your Highness, it's better to learn etiquette today, and I'll come to serve you another day......
"Dehydrate?" Biegler interrupted her, frowning at her.
For the Tatars, the water is unclean, and it is really not suitable to do that kind of thing during this period.
Wen Ning saw that his face changed, and knew that he had made the right bet on this matter, so he breathed a sigh of relief. She had heard of these Tatar customs before, the same as those of the Northern Ming, but the Northern Ming was mostly for women, and for the Tatars, it was an uncleanness.
Normally, he wouldn't have done anything to her.
But at that moment, Biegler's eyes fell on the curves of her body, and she grinned again.
I saw that he was arrogant, as if he had heard some big joke, "What about the decay water?" β
Wen Ning's heart suddenly froze......
Yes, according to what he said, the women rewarded by the emperor were covered in blood by him, and he could continue to abuse them, not to mention the mere water she said?
He was already brutal, how could such a trivial matter stop him? What is uncleanness?
What else can be done?
What else could she do?
Xiao Yunci's words yesterday seemed to still be in her ears, no matter whether Xiao Yunci lied to her or not, she now wanted to believe Xiao Yunci, believe what he said, and have a way to help herself.
Even if she was naΓ―ve, whether it was the price, whatever consequences she could bear, she just wanted to try, try to find a way to survive on this thorny and desperate road of harmony.
Wen Ning was anxious in her heart, and wanted to delay more time, so she quickly thought of some other excuses, and said, "Your Royal Highness, ...... Prince"
Seeing her repeated resistance, Kebigler finally realized that she was not really obedient, and finally lost patience.
"Do you think it's useful to play these tricks in front of me? Don't toast and don't eat and drink! Biggler grabbed her by the hair, and her eyes darkened with pain, and the next moment she was dragged by her arms and dragged to a room not far away.
"Lao Tzu wants to see who else will disturb today!"
Wen Ning was dragged to almost her knees, and Bigler was angry and showed no mercy to her.
She was easily picked up by Bigram, like a torn piece of cloth, and thrown directly into the wing, hitting the wood next to the bed in the wing.
With a "bang", Wen Ning was so painful that he couldn't speak, and he was so paralyzed that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
She knew she was probably done.
If he angered Biegler, he would not be merciful to her.
In this way, she may not be able to wait for Xiao Yunci to save her......
Wen Ning gritted her teeth, as if a fire was burning in her heart.
The sun was shining outside, and suddenly he entered the wing, and Biglas could not see the furnishings in the room clearly.
But at this point, he was not in a hurry, he "Gada" locked the door from the inside without hurrying, and then grabbed the fire fold on the table and lit the candle on the table.
The firelight slowly illuminated the somewhat gloomy chamber, and his gaze fell on Wen Ning.
saw that her clothes had been torn several pieces by herself, and she collapsed on the ground weakly, clutching the sheets on the couch with both hands, as if she wanted to try to get up, but because she had just hit her too hard, she couldn't get up for a long time.
The corners of Biegler's mouth cracked into laughter, watching her scattered black hair spread on the ground in embarrassment, and she was as fragile as paper now, but gritted her teeth and struggled in vain, like a helpless prey trapped in a trap.
She was really beautiful, even in this dark room, even if she was paralyzed on the ground in embarrassment, even if her clothes were torn, her bright and incomprehensible face seemed to absorb all the light, and the more she struggled, the more she felt a kind of broken beauty that was damaged, and the more it made Biegler feel better.
Wen Ning saw that Bigler's eyes were full of anger and destruction, as if she was not some beauty to please him, but his enemy.
She wondered if she couldn't wait for hope...... She would rather die than be humiliated by the beasts in front of her.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Wen Ning took advantage of the gap when Bigeler put down the candlestick and quickly looked around, and sure enough, he saw something hanging in the corner of the wing.
It was a sword.
The sword is full of golden black, with intricate patterns, and there is a colorful sword spike hanging on the hilt, which has been broken in half, and looks a little broken, but it shows the dazzling brilliance that this sword once had.
Wen Ning's eyes froze, and his heartbeat increased suddenly.
That sword, she won't admit it when she turns to ashes!
Not surprisingly, there was an inconspicuous place on the handle of the sword, engraved with a crooked word - emblem.
