The side hall suddenly opened with the heat of the fragrance of roses, and a thin layer of mist formed on the blue curtains. Immediately, seven or eight stacks of brocade of various colors were turned out from the cage at the head of the bed and placed on the table.

After the matter was over, Ma Lian bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, it's all right." ”

Luo Kui glanced at Jiang Li, and then raised his chin at the stack of heavy brocade on the table, and said, "Hold it." ”

Jiang Li didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to do what he said and honestly hold it.

Seeing Luo Kui bowing slightly at Ma Lian, Ma Lian hurriedly bowed forward, gently removed her coat, and stood next to the bathtub with only her middle coat, then loosened her bun and soaked the ends of her hair with water.

Luo Kui sighed, raised his chin slightly, and said softly: "Go to the outer room to guard, without the will of the deity, no one is allowed to approach the side hall." ”

"Wow. Ma Lian didn't squint, lowered her head and said softly: "My subordinates understand." ”

Ma Lian walked to the outside room lightly and skillfully, writing and drawing on top of the preparation.

Jiang Lihu was suspicious, only holding the brocade and standing quietly, not daring to ask a word.

Luo Kui pulled up her long hair, sat upright on the edge of the bed, pinched her hands, and a black and shiny point of light appeared in front of her.

The magic in her mouth changed, and all the points of light condensed into one place, forming a skull-shaped token with blood-soaked runes engraved on it. Immediately, she raised her eyes at Jiang Li and said, "You come here." ”

Jiang Li was slightly stunned, but still stepped forward.

Luo Kui picked up a pair of twisted copper scissors, cut off a strand of Jiang Li's hair, and with a light touch of his fingertips, a trace of blood hurriedly wrapped around the strand of hair, and a burst of fire shone brightly, and the tip of the hair was dyed into a cluster of ashes and submerged into the token.

Blood flowed on the token suddenly, densely covered into a spider web, and this token was connected to Jiang Li's mind with a little more thought.

Jiang Li looked at Luo Kui in disbelief, and said in surprise: "Little demon girl, what is this." ”

This trick is obviously extremely draining, Luo Kui's face turned pale, he took a long breath, and said slowly: "This is the only way to get out of the palace, but it's a pity that this token is connected to your heart, and it can only last for one day, tonight, you must leave the palace, otherwise you have to think of another idea." ”

Luo Kui called softly outside: "Ma Lian." ”

Ma Lian hurriedly came in, gave a salute, and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates have all written it down." ”

Luo Kui bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay." Immediately, she handed the token to Ma Lian and said softly: "Be sure to send Gongzi Jiang out of the palace, no matter how late it is, you must come back to restore your life." ”

Ma Lian said in a deep voice: "Oh, my subordinates understand. ”

After the matter was over, Luo Kui was really relieved, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, although Ma Lian took the name of an embroidery maid, but her confidant, the waist card was also the only thing that could send people out of the palace when the four doors were closed.

Today, it was dark very early, and Xianglan accompanied His Majesty back from dinner, and pulled Luo Kui to gossip in the hall, talking and talking, and ate a few more bites of sweet potatoes, and sure enough, the heartburn burned badly, and he couldn't sleep, and pulled out the Luo Kui who was sleeping in a daze from the hot quilt nest, and talked with her on candles and nights.

Luo Kui wrapped in a thick brocade quilt, approached the charcoal basin, and yawned repeatedly: "Wolan, I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Queen Mother's Palace to learn the rules, you are going to kill me." ”

"You are an unruly person, and if you learn, you will learn in vain,

The guarantee is to turn your head and forget. Wolan was full of sarcasm that couldn't be hidden, and a smile leaked from between her eyebrows.

Luo Kui pouted: "You say, when an unruly person like you comes in, don't you suffer less." ”

Woad blue eyes are blurred, there is nothing to say for a while, but isn't it, she is the eldest lady of the Xu family, she has been delicate and willful since she was a child, how can she understand so many twists and turns of rules and people's hearts, once sent into this prosperous cage, walking and talking to see people have become a mistake, even eating and sleeping have rules, she gradually from a willful and wanton little girl, was trained to be a cold beauty with light eyebrows and eyes, my aunt said that there are hot beauties in the palace who will please Your Majesty, and what is lacking is a cold beauty like her, so as to capture Your Majesty's heart.

"Luo Kui, do you say that everyone in this palace is sick in the brain, why do you have to give people color at every turn, and you have to clean up and teach people at every turn, can you give people color, can you open a dye workshop, clean up and teach others, and you can live for a few more years. Xianglan said indignantly, she still remembered the first time she was under His Majesty's body, and since then, she has grasped His Majesty's heart, but her own heart has been lost.

There was a crackling sound in the charcoal basin, and Wolan suddenly came back to her senses, and her heart was full of desolation: "Is it true that if I give birth to a child, I can really be free." ”

Luo Kui nodded firmly: "Yes." ”

At night, everyone fell asleep, but the Yongchang Palace was on fire, and the flame snorted, burning the entire palace, the fire was fast and big, like a river that broke the embankment, and set off a heat wave wherever it sprung up.

Luo Kui was shocked, immediately protected woad, and shouted: "It's water, it's coming, it's water." ”

There are many people in the palace in Yongchang Palace, scooping water with eight hands and feet, fighting fires, rushing into the palace to save people, but the fire seems to be the first to burn from the house of the woad sunflower, and the oil star, at this time has burned along the wall to the roof, surrounded by rolling flames, from the top of the flutter falling dazzling sparks, falling sunflowers, they can't rush out.

Xiang Lan's lips trembled slightly, and her voice was fierce: "Luo Kui, see no, someone wants to burn us." ”

Luo Kui glanced around, lazy at night, the small half bucket of bath water was still in the barrel, she hurriedly pulled the mattress and soaked it in water, and after being soaked, she wrapped her head around Wolan, and twisted a wet towel to cover her mouth and nose: "Don't talk, let's go." ”

"What about you, what are you going to do. ”

Now that there is no water around, Luo Kui gritted the root of her teeth, held the woad with one hand, and put the other hand behind her back, red blood spilled out from her five fingers, and then there were dots of white fluorescence, and the blood stains swirled around her, forming a moist barrier.

She took the woad and ran through it with pain, surrounded by dark red and gold, and could not see anything, only the blazing flames ghostly pounced on them, reminding them that they were still alive, and the choking dust and rolling heat wave were coming, and her eyes were black, and she struggled to maintain the little clarity left, and rushed towards the light of the crowd.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to that bit of brightness, only one step away, there was a loud bang overhead, and the eaves of the porch were burned to the point of collapse, and the flames fell down.

Luo Kui suddenly pushed Wo Lan and pushed her towards the light within reach, but she was hit by a huge heat wave, her body flew upside down like a fallen leaf, and she fell back into the flames, only to hear a hoarse cry outside: "Falling Aoi." ”

The mad flames burned all the way along her hair and bedclothes, burning her body, licking hot on her face, ears and arms, she moved her body to avoid the heat and pain, but the fire followed like a ghost, and she was going to die, she thought, maybe turning to ashes and burning up all the suffering and sins of this life was her most complete destination.

"Falling sunflower, falling sunflower. Vaguely, someone helped her up, the fire around her seemed to be extinguished, a cold hand was on her face, she woke up in the scorching heat and cold, her eyes were like a pair of watery cold eyes, her throat hurt, and she said hoarsely: "Jiang Li, you, why are you back again." ”

Jiang Li looked at her distressed and self-reproachful: "Go, I'll take you away." ”

Luo Kui shook his head with difficulty: "No, there are all people in the palace outside, and it is a big crime to find out that your foreign man has broken into the palace ban." ”

Jiang Li smiled painfully: "Look, I came here after changing into Ma Lian's clothes, and now I am the maid in your palace, don't worry, it will be fine." ”

Luo Kui had an inexplicable peace of mind about his eyes, she didn't want to ask the cause and didn't want the consequences, she was just at ease, she slowly closed her eyes, only to feel that her body was light, and the choking smoke around her dissipated, as if Jiang Li carried her out of the fire.

There seemed to be people around, and some people exclaimed: "Her Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess." ”

I heard Xianglan crying: "Luokui, Luokui, how are you." ”

A pair of trembling hands touched her face, and it was the Queen Mother who wept: "This face, why is this face burned like this, my poor child." ”

Immediately afterwards, I heard His Majesty's anger: "How did they all do it, they were all sent to the Yeting Prison, and they were all beaten to death." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Li: "I'm now, isn't it ugly." ”

Jiang Li's heart ached: "It's not ugly, it's not ugly at all." ”

The fire burned out and extinguished, Yongchang Palace became a ruin, Luo Kui and Xiang Lan moved into the Queen Mother's Palace, when she woke up, the sky was bright, and the attendants were like clay sculptures, standing silently outside the hall, and Jiang Li, sitting on the edge of the bed as if no one was around, was raising her hand to caress her face.

Luo Kui shrank into the bed, dodging his hand, his voice was low, and he couldn't be lower: "Jiang, Jiang Li, why are you still here." She looked at the palace clothes on his body and smiled: "This dress, you are really good in it." ”

"You dare to laugh at me. Jiang Li frowned the tip of his nose and scolded with a smile: "If I hadn't seen the fire in Yongchang Palace, I would have left the palace long ago." He raised his hand and stroked her face: "The face is burned, there may be a scar, but it doesn't matter, I will go find you medicine to remove the scar, it doesn't matter if you can't get rid of it, you are the best looking." ”

Luo Kui frowned at this time, his face was red, as if he had been burned by fire again, and now he really felt that his cheeks were burning and his tongue was knotted: "You, you, you are confused by the fire." ”

"Nope. Jiang Li's eyes fluttered, and she tucked her quilt: "Sleep for a while, and when you wake up, it's all over." ”

When she woke up again, it was noon, the sun was hanging high, the fresh snow in front of the court had melted, and Jiang Li had disappeared, as if the fire last night was just her nightmare, and now she woke up from the dream, she wanted to drink water, and when she opened her mouth to call people, she felt that her cheeks were torn up to her neck, and she was drenched in cold sweat with pain, and it was clear that it was not a dream, she had really burned herself in flames, and she had been on the line of life and death.
