Chapter 191: The Waste Palace

In the middle of the night, the palace was quiet, Chen Xiang poked her head out of the tent, and the little girl next to the bed was also napping. She quietly pinched her embroidered shoes, took the clothes on the shelf, and sneaked out of the dormitory to hide from the eunuch on duty.

Ten times "The Destiny of Weitian" is nothing to Zhao Shu, who is literate and hyphenated, and in less than half an hour, he placed a stack of finished products neatly on the young master's table. Chenxiang gave him an afternoon off to sleep, preparing for the two of them to sneak into the ruined palace in the imperial garden at night.

It is said to be a ruined palace, but in fact it is just an old palace that no one has repaired, the high platform is still towering, but the jade steps under the feet are dilapidated, and there will be broken bricks and tiles within three or two steps. Wildflowers and weeds peek out of the cracks in the bricks, growing tenaciously.

Zhao Shu tied his hands and followed behind Chenxiang. As soon as this line of work stopped, it was quite old-fashioned, not like a fourteen-year-old boy, but some people in the rivers and lakes. With him following behind, Chen Xiang was very relieved, so she jumped and walked towards the ruined palace.

The copper lock on the lattice door had already been blown by the wind and rain, and Zhao Shu only twisted it twice with his hand, and the lock broke. Chen Xiang didn't understand, thinking that he had broken the copper lock with his bare hands, he stuck out his tongue in surprise and gave a thumbs up: "It's amazing." ”

Zhao Shu took out a fire fold from his sleeve and held it in his hand. Miyaka sensed a bright light, and felt that she had made a mistake and forgot to prepare the lights and candles. Zhao Shu was still thoughtful, and Chen Xiang glanced at him approvingly.

It was empty, except for a few old tables and chairs, a few pieces of broken tulle twisted together, and the smell of dust was heavy. Miyaka rubbed her nose and sneezed. Zhao Shu then took out a piece of dipterocarp tulle from the thorn and boldly tied it to Chenxiang's cheek, just to cover his nose.

Chen Xiang was shocked for a while, she had grown so big, except for her father and second brother, no one had ever dared to be so close to her, let alone touch the texture. This Zhao Shu is not only careful, but also bold.

This boldness is just right, which makes Chenxiang's heart itch.

Zhao Shu didn't say anything, just held the fire fold and continued to walk inside. Miyaka smiled shyly and lowered her head after him.

Another lattice door came out, and the front suddenly became empty, and a semi-circular empty platform hung outside the lattice door, looking at it from the empty platform, it was exactly the height of the two-story Zhu Building. If someone with good kung fu jumps, he can walk on the ground, and if an ordinary person jumps, he may break his foot, but he will not be seriously injured.

No wonder this place was abandoned in the end, with such a design, which concubine would dare to live here? In the middle of the night, anyone could climb up, and there was no security at all.

However, this is a good place for private meetings, and there are many people in the palace, only this place is clean. Thinking of this, Chen Xiang couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shu, her face was a little crimson, the two of them are like this now, aren't they also trysts with people behind their backs?

Zhao Shu didn't notice her thoughts, but just held the fire fold and looked around. Before I came, I heard that there would be strange screams in this palace, but when I actually stood inside, I found that there was nothing. There are no legendary female ghosts, no priceless treasures, let alone reclusive gods and fairies. In all fairness, Zhao Shu was still a little disappointed.

Wouldn't this semi-circular empty platform be just right for dancing? The incense under the moon shadow is a little beautiful, but Zhao Shu has read countless people in his life, and he has seen a lot of handsome men and beautiful women, so he is not so easy to be tempted.

didn't want to dance, but suddenly stepped on something under her feet, Chen Xiangwei slammed her body to the side, and Zhao Shu stepped forward and hugged her. was dropped by Chenxiang's gravity, and Zhao Shu didn't stabilize it, and the two hugged each other and rolled around, hitting a stone pier.

"Something, I fell down. Miyaka rubbed her aching ankle and touched it.

It is round, and there seem to be two holes.

"Ahh

When Zhao Shu fell to the ground, he also felt a slender stick in his hand, and he could feel it as soon as he touched it, it was a human bone, but he wouldn't scream as timidly as Chenxiang.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Zhao Shu hugged Chen Xiang in his arms.

"I'm scared to death, Zhao Shu, let's go, it's too scary here. Chen Xiang said with a crying voice.

Chen Xiangwei stumbled, and Zhao Shu could only carry her away. When the fire fold burned out, a huge ruined palace, in an instant it looked gloomy, the ethereal tulle became a speckled ghost, and the wind in the middle of the night was like a ghost crying and howling. Chen Xiang sobbed and held Zhao Shu's arm: "I, I'm afraid." ”

"It's okay, let's just walk out the way we came. ”

Although Zhao Shu said this, he was also a little bottomless in his heart, this waste palace is quite big, and without fire, it is like a big box with a black rumbling dong, and people can't distinguish the direction as soon as they turn around inside, let alone go out the same way.

I can vaguely hear the shouts of people outside the ruined palace, presumably they are all here to find Princess Chenxiang.

"Listen, is someone coming?" said Miyaka, pricking up her ears, and she heard the cacophony as well.

Zhao Shu chuckled in his heart, and suddenly hesitated.

If you go out with her at this time, you won't be dragged out and beaten to death by the queen? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you take the princess to the ruined palace to play? What a sin is this, and doesn't this cost human life?

"Zhao Shu, why don't you leave?" asked Chenxiang.

The more Zhao Shu thought about it, the more flustered he became, and cold sweat flowed. Now the sin is not only this, he looked at his arm that held Princess Chenxiang, and there was a sin of transgression waiting for him.

Zhao Shu licked his lips, this is troublesome. If she leaves her and runs away, Princess Chenxiang will punish her own crimes, and if she is found by the palace people with her, the queen and the emperor will not let her go.

Thinking about it, Zhao Shu's head was hot, unless she died, and she escaped from here back to sleep in the room of Cheng'an Palace, no one would find out, and she could get away with it. The worst outcome is to be assigned to another princess or a mother's hand to continue to work on errands, and suffer a little idleness or something.

The more Zhao Shu thought about it, the more nervous he became, and his wheezing voice gradually became thicker.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving, Chenxiang tugged at his sleeve: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm ......" Zhao Shu paused, and it was almost impossible to see each other's eyes in the dark palace.

When Princess Chenxiang saw that he didn't speak, she wanted to call people here on her own. She just opened her mouth, and she didn't shout half a word, but Zhao Shu covered her mouth tightly. Chen Xiang was startled, and went to break Zhao Shu's wrist with both hands, but her hand strength was small, where was Zhao Shu's opponent. As soon as Chenxiang was in a hurry, he used all his strength to step on Zhao Shu's foot, and as soon as Zhao Shu was in pain, he pressed his arms hard and directly pressed Chenxiang to the ground.

What can he do as a eunuch? It's just that he is afraid that Chen Xiang will struggle to run away, and he is afraid that he will be cut by a thousand knives.

Zhao Shu held her mouth with one hand, and the other hand trembled and reached to her neck. has a white and soft neck, but Zhao Shu doesn't have time to appreciate it.

He had only been with Chenxiang for a few days, how could he think of this encounter, and he couldn't choose a way for a while, so he could only think of this way to kill people and seal his mouth.

Chenxiang was strangled by death, out of breath, her cheeks turned purple in a moment, she waved her hands weakly, trying to grab something and hit him, but this is a waste palace, where is there something for her to grab. Chen Xiang touched it three times and touched it, and when it touched his head, there was only a small butterfly card, golden, with some edges and corners.

used this golden butterfly to scratch on Zhao Shu's hand for a long time, and only scratched a small hole the size of a fingernail. Zhao Shu didn't care, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it in Chenxiang's mouth, so that he could free up two hands to pinch her.

After this change of hands, he suddenly heard someone pushing the door outside, Zhao Shu sighed in his heart, and it was too late to strangle her. Without even thinking about it, he turned over and got up from Princess Chenxiang, rushed into the stone platform where human bones were hidden, and jumped down.

Chenka's neck was suddenly released, and a large puff of air choked into her throat, and she gasped in pain for a while.

Someone came to help her, and she couldn't see who it was in the dark, so she was so frightened that she crawled backwards with both hands and feet. The man didn't chase after him, but asked gently, "Are you Princess Chenxiang?"

Chen Xiang didn't dare to answer, sobbed for a while, and when she saw that the person didn't seem to mean to harm her, she hummed. The man was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "The princess is here!"

"You're here for me?" Princess Miyaka wiped from her tears.

The man took out a fire fold from his bosom and blew it up, so that they could see each other's faces.

"The student is the eldest brother of the crown princess, Wei Chengyong. ”

Hearing the three words of the crown princess, Chen Xiang gradually relaxed, and looked at him timidly for a while: "Are you a eunuch?"

Cheng Yong was stunned: "The student is not." ”

"Then why are you in the palace?" asked Miyaka.

"Oh," Cheng Yong understood her doubts, and said gently: "The student lives in the prince's mansion, and a eunuch in the palace came to deliver a message in the middle of the night, saying that the princess was missing, and the prince and the princess hurried into the palace to accompany the emperor and queen, and the student also followed the prince to find the princess." ”

Miyaka swallowed her tears and rubbed her aching ankles and neck: "My foot hurts. ”

Cheng Yong paused for a moment, is this going to carry her by himself? But men and women don't kiss each other...... Cheng Yong hesitated for a while, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, princess, someone will come soon." ”

As he was talking, the door panel of the ruined palace was suddenly opened, and the bright lanterns were lined one after another, illuminating the old palace. Chen Xiang rubbed her eyes and looked at Cheng Yong carefully, it turned out to be a scholar's son. He is very bold, he is also very smart, where others dare not come, he dares to come, and where others can't think of it, he can think of it.

didn't have time to say anything more to Cheng Yong, the emperor and queen both rushed into the hall, Cheng Yong got up and retreated to the side, giving up the place to the emperor and queen. The pair of parents rushed to Chenxiang like crazy: "You kid, what are you running around in the middle of the night, how did you come to this place!"

Chenxiang looked at the emperor and queen, remembering what happened to her just now, she became more and more aggrieved, and couldn't help but throw herself into the queen's arms and cry.

"Father, mother, you have to make decisions for your daughter!"
