Chapter 386: Ice Coffin
For a while, on that stormy night on the river, on the big boat, this woman wore her hair loose, and the scene when she talked to herself ambiguously surged into her heart like a tide, making his thoughts stop for a moment, and even his heartbeat was broken a few beats.
"Why are you?" Fang Duan stared at the other party directly. At this moment, the woman on the phoenix seat is dignified and elegant, dressed in a lake blue dress, lined with her noble and elegant, and the thousands of customs on the boat are like two people. And on her high bun, she carries a phoenix crown made of red gold, showing her noble identity.
"General Fang, I said that we will meet again. It's just that in this heavy palace, I can't talk freely, it's a pity. There seemed to be a faint sorrow hidden in the woman's eyebrows. Fang Duan had many questions that she wanted to ask her personally, but due to the identity of the other party at the moment, it was inconvenient to speak casually.
"General Fang doesn't have to be embarrassed, let's talk about it. The woman got up and walked behind Fang Dui, "The mourning family is the queen mother of Mingyouguo, and her surname is Yuan." It was really a helpless move for Egami and the general to meet. The general should know that it is a big crime for the queen mother of a country to leave the country without authorization!"
"Queen Mother?" Fang Du had to re-examine the woman in front of her, she didn't look like she was only about thirty years old, she became the queen mother of a country at a young age, it was really incredible. Shuangyuan saw that his face was different, and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I have a plan to be this queen mother, but I have no choice." A year ago, the lord of Mingyou Country, that is, my husband, returned to Hai Yunchen and was poisoned. Leaving me and the only prince Gui Haikui, orphans and widows, want to defend a country, its center is sour, can General Fang understand a thing or two?"
"You said you want to borrow the Nine Dragon Ding, is it to help you stabilize the country?" Fang Du shook his head, "In a day, say too much, say a lot less." But for you, I'm afraid it's not enough. Shuangyuan laughed, "What, do you think that I will also follow the example of the female lord of the East Female Country and control those black-hearted men?" General Fang, please come with me, after reading it, you will understand." ”
Shuangyuan turned around and walked into the apse, Fang Dui had no choice but to follow her in. The apse was much darker, and only three or two candles were lit in the corner. Shuangyuan took a lamp, opened a secret door hidden in the mezzanine of the wall, and walked down the secret passage.
Only then did Fang Duan understand why they met again, and chose this nameless and very short palace, which turned out to be a cave here.
The underground palace under the palace was even colder than the weather outside, and the neatly cut ice cubes were piled up in all corners, Fang Dusk shrank coldly, but Shuangyuan walked in front of him as if he was used to the cold here, until he stopped in front of the ice coffin.
The frozen ice coffin uses mountain spring water without impurities, so the frozen ice is transparent. Fang Du crossed over Shuangyuan's head and saw the man lying in the ice coffin.
The man was about forty years old, his eyes were closed, his lips were purple, and although the blood on his mouth and nose had been carefully scrubbed repeatedly, it still left traces. Shuangyuan didn't lie, he was poisoned.
"This is my husband, the king who once reigned high and ruled over the entire kingdom of Mingyou. Shuangyuan slowly knelt on the ground, his slender fingers slowly swiped across the ice coffin, trying his best to touch the face of the man in the ice coffin, but all he could touch was cold ice.
"This is the Imperial Palace, how can someone be so bold as to poison the monarch?" Fang Duan couldn't imagine. Shuangyuan buried his head in pain, "The huge palace, the palace people, the guards, even those hard laborers, maybe there is a hidden force behind it." We are high, but we have to be careful everywhere. The water you drink and the things you eat must be checked, even the incense cream, or the bedding, shoes and socks may be tampered with. Every day, we live in fear. In the court, he had to face the stormy difficulties of the courtiers, and in the harem, I was cautious, for fear that if I was not careful, I would be harmed. ”
"It is rumored outside that the Mingyou country is powerful, and no one dares to offend. Unexpectedly, there was an open and secret battle inside. Fang Duan couldn't help but sigh, in such an environment, how hard a person must be to survive.
Shuangyuan wiped away the tears on his face and slowly got up, "For the sake of my husband, I have held on until now, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore." So, General Fang, I will do my best to help you repair the Nine Dragons, but you must promise me, the Nine Dragons, to lend me a day!"
Fang Du looked at her, and Shuangyuan said, "I heard a saying that the Nine Dragons Ding can bring the dead back to life!" Fang Dui was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard of it, are you sure?" Shuangyuan shook his head at first, and then nodded again, "No matter what, as long as there is the slightest hope, I will try my best for him!"
"I'm afraid, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will bring you!" Fang Du said, "I don't know how to govern the country. It's just that the Queen Mother's worries are a little too much?" Fang Duan didn't deliberately suspect Shuangyuan, but the huge Mingyou Kingdom, how could he make a fuss about poisoning the king and persecuting the young master, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he wouldn't believe it.
"Since General Fang called the mourning family the queen mother, the mourning family had to say a few more words. The expectation on Shuangyuan's face was replaced by indifference, "When we meet here, it is to avoid people's eyes and ears and say a few thoughtful words to General Fang." The words have been said, and it is inconvenient for the mourning family to keep the general, tomorrow morning, please invite the general to the palace, there are some things, it is better to see it!"
After speaking, Shuangyuan walked out of the underground palace and shouted outside the hall, "Yi Wei, send General Fang to rest and take care of the mourning family!"
The man who had sent Fang Du came in again and invited Fang Du out of the hall.
"What is Master Yi's position in the palace?" Fang Duan asked, Yi Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm just an ordinary guard beside the Queen Mother. Fang Du nodded, "Presumably, Guard Yi was a member of the First Emperor in the past, right?"
Yi Wei stopped and turned his head sharply, "How does General Fang know, is it possible that there is General Fang's eyeliner in the palace?" Fang Duan hurriedly waved his hand, "Guard Yi misunderstood, it's just a guess." The coldness in Yi Wei's eyes did not fade, and Fang Duan had no choice but to say, "The Queen Mother's delicate woman, although there are powerful people around her, will only be like Bai Pei." The spiritual power of the Yi guards is unfathomable, and he can easily dissolve my shield, and he is dedicated to protecting the Lord. If a person like this hadn't been a close confidant of the first emperor, I'm afraid that in this heavy palace at this moment, it wouldn't be so peaceful!"
After saying these words, Fang Dui suddenly felt that Yi Wei's eyes looking at him had obviously changed, but he didn't say anything, just sent Fang Dui to his residence!
