Chapter 200: The Fox
Yuan Xi only called ten idle people to come over to play, and she didn't dare to call more, because she was not familiar with the maids in Cheng'an Palace, and there were too many people to remember their names.
Chenxiang was blindfolded and took the lead in turning ten times. But somehow, she was able to hug Yuanxi among more than a dozen people and shouted: "Imperial sister-in-law." ”
All the palace ladies clapped their hands in unison and laughed: "Oh, I caught the crown princess." ”
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: "Can you see it?
Chen Xiang ripped off the cloth on her eyes and said with a smile: "Hmph, what is this, don't say that you are looking for the imperial sister-in-law among the eleven people, even if you are a hundred people playing together, I can find it." ”
Yuan Xi looked at her in surprise: "This is really talented, do you have clairvoyance?"
Chenxiang shook her head: "I don't have a clairvoyant eye, but my nose is Special." ”
Not only Yuanxi, but even the little girls were stunned and came up to listen to her. Chenxiang sniffed on Yuan Xi: "The fragrance of sandalwood is the same as the second brother, of course I can smell it!"
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed. Yuan Xi took the cloth: "Okay, okay, I'm willing to bet and lose, it's my turn." ”
Won-hee blindfolded, pinched his nose to make an elephant shape, and turned around. These ten laps didn't make her dizzy, but she was a little sick to her stomach. Won-hee subconsciously covered his mouth and retched for a while.
"What's wrong with the crown princess?" the little girl stepped forward to help her in fright, and some went to pour water.
Chenxiang also came up: "Imperial sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Yuan Xi waved his hand: "It's okay." ”
"Let's sit down for a while. Chen Xiang helped her sit down, and said to the little girl, "You go and call the imperial doctor to come and have a look." ”
"No, no. Yuan Xi waved his hand: "You go down first." ”
Chen Xiang looked at her with concern: "Is it really okay? I see that your face is pale." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head: "It's okay." She picked up her cup and drank slowly.
"Oh! I see!" Miyaka exclaimed, spitting Won-hee into a mouthful of water. Chen Xiang lay on Yuan Xi's lap and stared at a pair of big watery eyes: "Imperial sister-in-law, should you be, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense, kids. Yuan Xi said in disguise.
Chen Xiang smiled proudly: "Who is the child, I must have guessed it, are you pregnant with the second brother's child?"
Yuan Xi stroked his lower abdomen with a smile: "It's not been two months, and the doctor can't diagnose it." ”
Chen Xiang looked at her with admiration, in Chen Xiang's consciousness, pregnant women are amazing, she once saw the mother in the palace when she was pregnant, she vomited and tired.
"Isn't it going to be hard?"
"It's a little bit, but when the baby is born, you feel like it's all worth it. ”
Chenxiang smiled: "But you haven't been born yet, how do you know?"
Aunt Yu said. Oh, Aunt Yu is my eldest brother's mother. Yuan Xi replied gently.
Chenxiang nodded, got up and said, "Sister-in-law, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go get you something delicious." ”
There is a small ceramic box locked next to Chenxiang's bed, which contains candied fruits such as golden silk jujubes and green plum and cold fruits. Because the queen didn't let her eat, and the emperor spoiled her, he ordered the imperial dining room to pickle the candied fruit for her. Chen Xiang was afraid that the palace maid would see and tell the queen, so she hid in the small cabinet next to the bed. No matter how young she is, she knows that pregnant people like to eat sour plums, so she deliberately took out her baby to share with Won-hee.
Chenxiang went for a while, but still didn't come back, Wonxi felt that something was wrong, and got up to go to her bedroom to look. The bedroom was in a mess, but there was no shadow of Chenxiang. The window was still open, and Won-hee was busy going to the window to look. A dark shadow flashed in the corridor, and there was an extra girl in her hand, and that girl's dress was similar to that of Chenxiang.
Yuan Xi was shocked, and dared to do it in broad daylight, this assassin was too rampant. Just as he was about to call the guards, a hidden arrow swished into the windowsill. Yuan Xi was startled, and looked at it, there was a strip of cloth nailed on it, and two words were written crookedly on the strip of cloth: Waste Palace.
Yuan Xi crumpled the strips of cloth into a ball, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly called the guards and maids to go to the ruined palace together. As soon as there was chaos in the Cheng'an Palace, the entire palace followed as if it were facing a great enemy. The cries of "princess" and "Chenxiang" resounded.
The palace was quiet, not at all like a human being.
"Crown princess, let the last general go in first. I don't know who volunteered to speak, and a man walked up the steps quickly.
Sou!
The guard swayed and fell headlong down the steps, bleeding profusely with a hidden arrow stuck in his throat.
"Protect the Crown Princess!" the guards stepped forward one after another, and a row of soldiers with shields rushed forward, followed by several hidden arrows on the shields. But unable to withstand the large number of people, the internal guards rushed into the ruined palace and searched up and down inside and out, but found no trace.
Not only was there no Princess Miyaka, but even the person who shot the sleeve arrow was not found.
"You must find the princess, go quickly!" Wonxi suddenly felt helpless, looking for a little girl in the huge palace is simply looking for a needle in a haystack. The longer Princess Miyaka spends time with the Assassin, the more dangerous the princess becomes.
An internal guard hurriedly ran down the steps, holding a few wet crossbow arrows in his hands: "Crown princess, there must be no one here." The swords just now were all issued with these bows and crossbows. ”
The water on the crossbow is cold, apparently freezing the bowstring with a piece of ice, and waiting until the ice melts, just enough to trigger the bowstring and shoot a crossbow arrow. The person who set up the mechanism couldn't help but predict the time when the ice would melt, and deliberately used a hidden arrow to make them think that there was indeed someone inside.
It seems that this man is a master. The internal guards were amazed, Yuan Xi looked down at the internal guards who had been hit by the arrow just now, and couldn't help but sigh, they would all be shot like this, and everyone really had their own lives.
"You must find this person as soon as possible, the princess must be in his hands. ”
"Yes!" the guards immediately dispersed as soon as they heard the order.
Yuan Xi looked up at this gloomy ruined palace, and always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him. Even though it was broad daylight, Won-hee still felt a little flustered. The palace maid and the internal guard were looking for Chenxiang everywhere, and no one could accompany her in, Yuan Xi turned around, since the internal guard had already searched it, even if he went again, he would probably not gain anything.
"Imperial sister-in-law save me!"
A girl's shout suddenly came from somewhere, and as soon as Yuan Xi turned his head, the lattice window on the top of the ruined palace suddenly shook.
Whoosh! A Hidden Arrow was shot from an unknown direction, and there was still a note on it: "Make a deal." ”
A transaction is a transaction, and that is a conflict of interests, but Won-hee feels less afraid. She settled down and lifted her feet into the ruined palace.
There was a lot of yin in the waste palace, which made people feel creepy as soon as they got close, Yuan Xi took a few deep breaths and pushed open the lattice door: "I'm here, where is the person making the deal?"
The sound of whimpering echoed through the empty hall, but it didn't come from nowhere. Yuan Xi was bold and took a few steps inside: "Is there anyone?"
Won-hee asked several times, but she could only hear her voice echoing frequently, and no one answered her, so Won-hee walked inside again.
Passing through the second lattice door, you can see the semicircular terrace, on which there are only a few worn stools, and there are no human skulls of the princess as she had spoken. Looking over from the platform, there was a flat meadow below with knee-high weeds.
"Is there anyone?" Won-hee shouted again.
This time, I couldn't even hear back.
Won-hee felt strange, shook his head and turned around to leave.
With a click, the door panel shook, Yuan Xi looked down and glanced at it casually, and he was startled, and suddenly there was a blood-red fur fox lying on the ground at some point.
Fox?!
Yuan Xi was stunned, and hurriedly calmed down, although the fox is also a carnivore, but it is still much bigger than it looks, it shouldn't come up to pounce on itself, right?
The fox looked at Won-hee, Won-hee looked at the fox, and suddenly saw the old bench on the ground, and Won-hee bent down and held it in his hand.
The fox slowly got up from the ground, grinned, revealing blood-red teeth, this is the first time Wonxi has seen a living fox, and it is also the first time he has seen such a big fox, it is still inconspicuous when it crawls on the ground, but when it stands up, it is several laps bigger than an ordinary earth dog.
The fox seemed to be coming for her, staring at her like a wolf, and not letting a single step.
This fox is really strange, although Yuan Xi has never seen a living fox in the mansion, he has also seen some dried fox skins. The fox skin, which was left with only teeth and bones, was completely different from the one in front of him. The creature's teeth were blood-red, as sharp as a wolf's, and the four fangs were sharper than the blade of a knife.
If it bites, it will have to lose a piece of meat if it doesn't die. The fox's four legs are extremely strong, a bit like those of a mastiff. Maple Leaf's red fur is very beautiful, but Wonxi is really not in the mood to appreciate it at this moment, her legs are so weak that she can't stand anymore.
The fox stared at Yuan Xi for a while, as if he was gradually losing his patience, and let out a snoring and low roar in his throat, lowering his front body, making a look of wanting to pounce, its eyes were particularly scary, as if they were two glass beads. Won-hee shuddered, only to feel that his hands and feet were trembling.
She shook the bench and wanted to scare the fox away, but she didn't think about it, but she gave the fox the courage to pounce, the fox kicked on its hind legs and pounced violently, Yuan Xi panicked, and subconsciously retreated.
Her body hit the guardrail of the platform, and she was stopped, but she didn't stop it, and even people rushed out of the platform with the guardrail, and she fell from the second floor on her back.
"Crown princess beware!" Out of nowhere, he rushed past an internal guard, and he ran towards Yuan Xi as if he was flying, stretching out his arm to catch Yuan Xi at the waist.
Although the floor is not high, he was still taken by the inertia of Won-hee's fall and threw himself forward and fell to the ground.
He hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Yuan Xi: "The crown princess forgives her sins." ”
At this clock, my mother also rushed over, and when she saw Yuan Xi sitting on the ground, she hurriedly came to help her: "Is Niang Niang okay?"
Yuan Xi shook his head and looked at Mother Zhong in shock: "He saved me." ”
Mother Zhong looked at the fence on the ground, looked up again, and was very puzzled: "Niangniang is so dignified, why did she suddenly fall down?"
