Chapter 23 Bamboo Language

I finally urged Shabi to leave my room, and then I quieted down and sat by the window alone, looking at the scenery outside the window, and unconsciously humming the little song that my mother taught me.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter so much whether Li Ye is good to Lingyu because of the mask, and Li Ye will not be good to a person because of the rush in the world.

I know very well that he is not that kind of person.

I tapped myself on the head.

It was I who thought that if Lingyu was using this incident to deceive me and get close to Liye, I was impulsive.

I sighed and lay on the table, but I didn't want to think of these things so badly.

If Lingyu really ran into Liye alone after separating from me, if they met in their early years?

My mind was a mess, my mood was a mess, and I didn't know what was going on.

I looked up at myself in the mirror, as if I understood it again.

Since when have I focused on Liye and Lingyu?

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt bored, since I found out that Lingyu and Liye were together, I always felt like a different person, completely different from my previous self.

I've never been involved in these things, and when I met the Yunxia Fairy and the guard of the Lingxiao Hall who had a marriage contract before, I didn't see it at all.

I'm a nosy person who just wants to be quiet.

In the past few days, my brain has been used a lot, I always feel tired, my mind is restless, and the whole person seems to be messed up.

I sighed and was about to go for a nap when there was a commotion outside the door.

They were noisy and my mind was buzzing around like a swarm of bees, and I pushed the door open and went out to see two or three people outside the door.

"What's going on?" I rubbed my forehead and walked out, and the two or three people around me turned around and knelt down to get out of the way.

There was a man lying in the place they had just surrounded and was lifeless.

I squinted slightly, her death was extremely ugly, her face was swollen and purple, her seven orifices were bleeding, her eyes were staring at the sky, and she was still clutching a jade pendant on her chest.

I recognized her for a long time before I remembered that she was a maid in the second brother's palace, and she took care of whatever the second brother gave me on weekdays.

"What's the matter?" I asked in a cold voice, and the kneeling person next to me shivered and whispered: "Back to the fifth princess, just now she came in and said that she had something important to tell Her Royal Highness, but before she walked in, she suddenly looked like this." ”

If you don't make a whistleblow, you will be killed?

I don't have any enemies in Su Ri, just some little girls who heard that I was Liye's fiancΓ©e and wanted to come to the door to provoke but didn't dare to come, so I could only talk behind my back.

What secrets do she have in her hands to be silenced?

I frowned, and casually ordered, "Go find someone from Ying Xingsi and check." ”

"Xiao Zhao handed over this matter to Ying Xingsi?" a warm male voice came, and when I looked for the sound, I saw a handsome boy dressed in brocade blue and decorated with agarwood and jasper tassels appeared in front of me.

I saluted the visitor and called, "Second brother." ”

"Between brothers and sisters, there is no need to be polite. The second brother said softly.

He is the most read among the few of us, and he is used to loving some ancient literary books on weekdays, not only looking at the divine realm, but even the ancient literary books of the demon realm, he studied them one by one, and he was soaked out of the piles of books and became angry.

"You just said that she came to find the fifth princess for something?"

When the person next to him saw the second brother, he didn't seem to be so afraid, and replied in a loud voice: "Yes." ”

I was a little depressed.

I ask myself that I treat them well on weekdays, but I don't talk to them a little bit, and I usually let them sweep the yard and take care of some flowers and plants, and I don't give them any heavy work, why are you so afraid of me?

"Do you know what?"

The second brother even spoke softly when he said this, and he seemed to be gentle.

"The slave doesn't know. That Xiao'e shook her head, I asked that the bloody breath was a little uncomfortable, and seeing that the people around her were also smoked by this breath, they frowned, and simply waved their hands to let them all go down.

"This is someone from the second brother's palace, I don't know what the second brother thinks?" I simply sealed my sense of smell, looked at the corpse and asked.

"I recently found two interesting history books and asked her to send them to you, but she went for a long time and didn't come back, so I came to see them. The second brother looked at the corpse on the ground with deep eyes, and there was a hint of grief in his tone.

In my impression, she has been with her second brother for a while, and she is the one who often runs everywhere.

"Then what is my opinion on handing over this matter to the second brother Ying Xingsi?"

The second brother shook his head when he heard this, and without hesitation, he squatted down to close her eyes, and said softly: "She is so strange that she died, she should be investigated." ”

After the body was removed, the second brother took out a book from his arms and handed it to me.

I took it and saw that there were a few big words written on the first cover: Empress of the Ages.

When I saw this name, I immediately knew what the second brother's intention was.

The princes of other families are secretly earning to be a prince, waiting for their father to abdicate and take power, but my brothers insist on treating this prince as a hot potato.

In recent years, my father has gradually had the idea of abdicating, he once told me that when his mother was alive, he had been missing the small house where she lived in the Feng clan, and seeing that we had grown up, he wanted to abdicate and live in his mother's former residence for a long time.

We haven't had any concubines, and it stands to reason that it is reasonable for any of the three of them to be the prince. It's just that every time my father mentions this succession, the second brother gets sick with a headache, the third brother hides in the Qinglou, and the fourth brother turns around and runs away from home.

They pushed over and over, and finally put their minds on me, wanting me to be the empress of the dragon clan.

But my mind is the same as theirs, and calling the emperor is a chore, so I won't do it.

"Xiao Zhao, I just saw that you are decisive and have the style of an emperor. The second brother smiled and stuffed the book into my arms.

In our dragon clan, the system of the empress ascending to the throne is different, and the empress's succession to the throne is to give up the identity of a woman, not for anything else, but for the prosperity of our clan.

Therefore, there is a rule in the ancestors of the dragon clan, the empress succeeds to the throne, and she needs to drink the water of despair to stop him.

I saw that my father also had the intention of passing on this throne to me, and he said that even if I was not accustomed to a thoughtful mind, I could use my hands to convince others.

But then I had a marriage contract with Liye, and my father never mentioned this matter again.

I took the book and looked at my second brother helplessly and said, "Second brother, you know, I have a marriage contract with Liye, and I can't succeed to this position." ”

The second brother patted me lightly on the shoulder, looked at me with a solemn face and said, "But isn't this Liye bad for you?"

I frowned and looked at him, although secretly Li Ye did not like me a little, but he could make a loving appearance in front of others.

I asked him, "Where did you hear this?"

The second brother didn't reply to me, he was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "It's just those little fairies who said it." ”

These words have always been there, but I haven't cared about them, and they don't dare to say it in front of me, so I haven't taken care of it, but I don't know when it reaches the ears of the second brother.

"Then your relationship with Liye..."

Hearing the second brother ask, I had to smile perfunctorily, and forcibly nodded and replied with a clear conscience: "It's okay." ”

The second brother's eyes lit up when he heard me say this, and he pulled my wrist and whispered, "Then do you know about the bamboo language gods?"
