Chapter 16 The Night Detective Minister's Mansion Examines the Evil Spirit
If one day, I can get together with Red Scales, it will be the greatest gift that God has given me. ”
Zimo thought about it while walking, hesitated a little, and Red Scales simply ran over, pulled the corner of his clothes, and urged him to go quickly.
Going to the Crystal Palace, Zi Mo, who was transformed back into a human form, still needs to avoid water blisters, for Zi Mo's safety, Red Scales followed him step by step this time to ensure his safety.
However, since the last time Zimo was flooded once, revealing his true body of half-human and half-dragon, he came to the turbulent water again, and it seemed that he no longer had the psychology of fear of water. On the contrary, when he looked at the rippling waves outside, he had an urge to go out and swim heartily.
When everyone returned to the Crystal Palace, Zimo, Red Scale and the others went back to their rooms to rest. It's just that when Zimo was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, recalling everything in the past, he couldn't help worrying about the safety of his mother, and he couldn't sleep all night, until it was almost dawn, and he barely fell asleep for a while.
After breakfast, Zi Mo couldn't wait, urging Red Scale to go with him to the water surface of Dongting to wait for the news of the old dragon.
Red Scales knew what was on his mind, so he obediently accompanied Zi Mo, and Tongguang also wanted to follow the two of them, but was excused by Red Scales.
Zimo and Red Scale came to the lake, picked a rock, sat side by side, and waited intently.
Zimo looked at the distant sky in a daze, and when he didn't see a figure, he muttered to himself,
"Why hasn't Daddy Long come back?
"No, Zimo, wait and see. Red Scales patiently soothed him.
So the two waited patiently for a few hours, until the sun was up, and they still didn't see the figure of the old dragon.
At this time, Zi Mo's heart went up and down, and he became anxious again. "Red-scaled girl, I don't want to wait any longer, can you help me again, go with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we go there to explore, maybe we will get something." ”
"Okay, okay, that's what I wanted, so I'll conjure a spell and take you there. ”
Red Scale also felt bored waiting, so she agreed to Zi Mo's request, and when she cast a spell to turn Zi Mo into a small thing that was easy to carry, a white figure flew faintly from a distance, and it was not until she got close that she saw that it was Zi Mo's old dragon father.
"Daddy, I finally waited for you to come back, how about it, did you find my mother?" Zimo saw the old dragon, his eyes lit up, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
"I ,......" the old dragon stopped talking, and his eyes slowly dimmed, "Zimo child, I was worried last night, and I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the news of your mother's relatives, but I searched for a long time in the mansion alone, and there were no clues, so I had to arrest a person in charge of the mansion to ask about it, only to learn that your mother had been arrested by the people of the government ten years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown." And your grandfather, the Prime Minister, was burned alive in the room on the night you escaped. Now, staying in this mansion, the only one who holds the power is the vicious second lady.
Hearing what the servant said, I wanted to go and take the poisonous woman's dog life immediately, but I was afraid that I would dirty my hands and it would be inconvenient for me to see your mother. I was thinking about saving your wife, so I hurried away.
I sneaked into the various prison cells in Kyoto overnight and searched carefully, but after searching and searching, the night passed, and there was still no trace of your mother. ”
"Then it's strange, how can a living person be born without seeing a person and a dead body? I think that if my mother was really calculated by that vicious woman, that vicious woman would definitely know her whereabouts.
Daddy, take me now, and we'll go to the woman to settle the score." Perhaps, when that woman sees me and sees that I look like my mother, she will feel guilty and confess. ”
Zi Mo's words reminded the smart red scales, and she nodded again and again, "Zi Mo, I think your idea is not bad, but it is good, it is still a little flawed."
I think that if that woman is vicious to the point of killing people and causing trouble, her heart will definitely be very vicious, and ordinary methods will definitely not be able to deal with her, and it is not as ...... as us. ”
When Lao Long and Zimo heard this, they both nodded yes.
At night, in the huge prime minister's mansion, a black figure as fast as the wind entered with the wind, quietly sneaking into the second lady's boudoir, quietly spying on the movements in the house.
Since the death of her husband, the second lady has no longer been left unattended, and has lived more and more wantonly.
(She was not a good girl, but she met a like-minded official who was transferred back from the border in the Qinglou, and after the official sold her at a high price, Qiao Zhuang dressed up and lied to the outside world about her adopted daughter to use it as political capital.)
At that time, the prime minister's wife was seriously ill and could not be healed for a long time, and she was worried that after her death, no one would serve the master, so she kindly entrusted someone she knew to secretly find a concubine for the lord and take care of the prime minister's life.
Unexpectedly, the people entrusted by the prime minister's wife were all bought by the official, and they all said that his adopted daughter was the most suitable, not only was she pretty, but she also played a good piano, and she was very good at sharing worries and sorrows for others, and she was a rare interpreter.
When the eldest lady heard this, she was overjoyed, so she called the woman into the mansion, and observed it carefully, and she was really smart. The woman had received all kinds of training, and she was naturally comfortable with the eldest lady, and soon, she was caught by the eldest lady and enthusiastically introduced to her husband.
The prime minister saw that his wife intended to take care of himself, and he was enthusiastic about it, and in ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, so he readily agreed.
Soon, the second lady married into the prime minister's mansion with dignity and beauty, but since this woman came, the life of the two people has not been easy, one is the eldest lady, and the other is the daughter of the eldest lady.
The second lady is very methodical, since she came to the house, she has rarely controlled the old prime minister into the eldest lady's room, and it is difficult for the eldest lady to see the master.
And the only daughter of the eldest lady, the daughter of the prime minister's house, was delicate and noble in the past, and the prime minister's father doted on him very much, and he was obedient to her in everything. But since this little lady entered the door, her life has become more and more difficult like her mother's.
What's more, one day, the second lady actually took advantage of the prime minister's happiness to marry the young lady to the old emperor.
The eldest lady naturally refused to agree to find death and life, but what happened later let her know that she could only ask for hardships if she resisted the second lady.
First of all, her mother, on a stormy night, suddenly vomited blood from her mouth and died violently, and then she was falsely accused in front of her father that there were men's belongings hidden in the room, and she was afraid that her daughter was innocent because she had an affair with someone.
All kinds of things made the old prime minister angry, so he locked up his daughter and forbade her to move around at will. The second lady pretended to be a good person at this time, and added fuel and vinegar in front of the old prime minister and said, if the female lady does not stay, if she lets Miss continue to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is afraid that she will lose the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the reputation of the Miss, so it is better to sign her up early and let her participate in the three-year draft of the show girl at the right time.
The old prime minister took pity on his daughter and refused to agree, but unexpectedly, the second lady had already carried the prime minister behind her back and secretly reported the name of the young lady to the government.
The old servant of the family was loyal and honest, and was a close confidant of the old lady and the young lady, and when he overheard this, he hurriedly sent a letter to the young lady.
The young lady had nowhere to hide, so she decided to take a risk and escape first, because she had long heard that the emperor of the dynasty was a stupid, incompetent, and drunk-obsessed old man, and such a person, even if she was killed, she would not want to marry.
With the help of the old servant, the eldest lady fled from the mansion in a panic.
Later, she was destitute, fell in love with the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, and gave birth to Zimo's child, and the eldest lady was accidentally found by the old servant, and quietly took her back to the house.
From the moment she stepped into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the second lady's vicious eyes had already fixed on her again. Although the old prime minister had completely forgiven his daughter and promised to let his daughter and grandson stay in the mansion and take good care of them, the second lady would never agree.
She sent someone to report to the official overnight, and secretly set fire to the house where the prime minister stayed, so that the prime minister died miserably in the flames, and let the prime minister's daughter be captured by the emperor's spies.
When all the thorns in her eyes and flesh were removed, she could finally show off her power in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
And the official who funded her and dedicated her to the prime minister as an adopted daughter easily took over the power of the new prime minister by relying on his excellent kung fu and political skills.
Two people, one with wolf ambition and one with a femme fatale, cooperated and was invincible, and they became the prime minister at the beginning, so they were unhappy.
Since the death of the prime minister, the second lady no longer cares about anything, looking for joy day and night, and the nephrite is warm and fragrant every night. )
This night, she was messing with her "adoptive father" in the tent, but suddenly felt a cold wind coming from the window, blowing out all the lights and candles in the house, and then, a black smoke slowly wrapped the entire room.
In the thick black fog, there were two familiar figures standing in the shadows, one seemed to be an old and deceased prime minister, and the other looked like the prime minister's wife with long messy hair and a haggard face.
"Who are you? Don't come, don't come, I'll call someone again." When the second lady saw the two ghosts, she was frightened, trembling, and questioned each other in a trembling voice.
