Chapter 55: Red Butterfly

Although the royal palace in Shuri is not as magnificent as the capital, it is still as it should be. The layout of the palace here is completely modeled after the specifications of the Forbidden City, but the shadow of Fuso can be seen everywhere in the decoration.

At this time, the night was already deep, and one by one the Japanese-style palace lamps were hung on the corners of every eaves. Pull the shadow of the tree into a long shadow. And the palace here is not as majestic and tall as the palace of the Ming Dynasty, but more delicate and gorgeous. Because Ryukyu Island is hot all year round and is an island country, most of the houses are built of wood and less stone.

Fang Zhongjin and Jiang Dai secretly walked through the palace of the Ryukyu King by night. Fortunately, Fang Zhongjin's internal strength and light power have entered the realm of grandmasters. Although Jiang Dai is weaker, he is finally familiar with the way. The two of them can be regarded as unimpeded.

Since it is a royal palace, there will be no shortage of guards. But Jiang Dai didn't know how many times he had secretly entered and exited the palace, and he knew everything about the rotation of the guards. Fang Zhongjin didn't have to worry at all, just followed Jiang Dai to turn left and right, all the way through the rockery pavilion, and rushed forward without stopping.

In fact, Jiang Dai was uneasy at this time. She was anxious to get the exact news of her mother, but she was afraid that if she entered her mother's dormitory, she would only get bad news.

At last the two of them stepped on the moonlight and came to the outside of the queen's bedchamber. I saw that although it was late at night, there were still people on duty outside the temple, so it was evident that there were still people living in it. Jiang Dai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Maybe his mother is fine. As for matters such as the father's marriage with the daughter of General Fuso, with the mother's ability, it must be able to "properly solve".

Jiang Dai did not alarm the guards outside the courtyard either. She and Fang Zhongjin turned in from outside the palace wall and slowly groped inward along the eaves. But the more Jiang Dai turned inward, the colder his heart became.

No scent!

My mother, who used to use warm incense for a long time, should be able to smell their unique fragrance now that she is outside her bedroom. But now there is nothing in the air except the scent of the sea breeze that is customary on the islands.

This is the place where Jiang Dai has always come and gone freely. She was now dominated by the fear in her heart, and she came down directly from the eaves. The maids in the palace had all gone to rest, and only the sound of insects in the trees kept scratching Jiang Dai's heart.

She trembled and stretched out a bare hand to push the door. The door was not locked, and it suddenly opened with a light push from Jiang Dai. Jiang Dai's feet were weak, but he still supported his body and walked forward. For some reason, the dormitory was decorated in a plain white color. Jiang Dai walked through the plain white couch and lifted the silver-white curtain, and saw that there was a person lying on the couch where his mother often slept.

But Eyo's heart seemed to sink to the cold bottom of the sea. Because the woman in the scarlet dress, who was lying on the pure white couch, was not her mother.

The woman was obviously much younger than her mother. The strange thing is that in this pure plain white, the only scarlet woman has a complex knot tied to her body. The woman was like a red butterfly bound in a circle of white spider silk.

I don't know if the people who tied her up were afraid that she would run away, or if they had some other purpose. The woman had to be bound with so many ropes that she could not even be untied while she was sleeping. Jiang Dai took a breath of cold air, and she walked up and slapped the sleeping woman twice.

The woman was woken up in her sleep. Even when she was unconscious, she still had a look of horror on her face. In the haze, I suddenly saw that the person who woke me up turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman. Not the nightmarish demon that scares you. This made her speechless even more in surprise.

Jiang Dai asked coldly, "Who are you? Why do you sleep here?

The woman heard Jiang Dai's questions one after another, but she still looked at her blankly. The look of panic on his face did not seem to be fake.

Jiang Dai snorted and muttered again in another language. The language sounds a bit like Fuso. Obviously, it was Jiang Dai who asked his question again in Fuso.

This time, the woman should have understood Jiang Dai's question, but in addition to panicking, she still didn't say a word. She may have been a beauty, but her face was as pale as the futon around her. was lined with the crimson dress on her body, and she was even more like a dead person.

Fang Zhongjin followed Jiang Dai all the time, and he saw the strange situation here. But he kept speculating in his heart, and finally he opened his mouth and asked Jiang Daidao: "Could this woman be the daughter of General Fusang?

In fact, Jiang Dai guessed the same thing in his heart. Since she was lying on her mother's couch in a dignified manner, it was obviously meant to take her place. But now she was frantically wondering what had happened to her mother.

Jiang Dai approached the tied woman, slapped her hard, and asked the question again in a cruel tone.

The woman was tied up and couldn't move. After Jiang Dai slapped it, a blood-red palm print immediately appeared on her originally snow-white face. But apart from trembling and sobbing in obedience, she still did not dare to say a word.

I'm afraid that she doesn't know how much she has suffered under the control of this Ryukyu king in the past few days. You even have to sleep tied up. The Fuso woman was obviously numb from being abused, and no longer reacted except to endure it. If she is really the daughter of a general, then she will sigh with emotion.

Jiang Dai couldn't bear the trembling and weeping woman, and she suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from her bosom and was about to plunge it into the woman's heart. This is no longer a forced confession, but her life!

But Jiang Dai's hand had just been raised, and before he could swing it, he was firmly grasped by a powerful big hand.

Jiang Dai's hand was held and couldn't move, she looked back at Fang Zhongjin with disbelief eyes, and asked him coldly, "Do you want to help her?"

Fang Zhongjin just said lightly: "It's useless for you to kill her." Why do you want to kill yourself?"

Jiang Dai ignored Fang Zhongjin's words. She waved her arms vigorously, trying to pull her out of Fang Zhongjin's shackles. Jiang Dai had already lost his mind. The mother is gone, the father marries another, the dormitory is occupied by a dove, Fang Zhongjin even wants to help her! This hatred of the brain must be vented on this inexplicable woman immediately!

Suddenly, I heard a cold man's voice at the door say, "Isn't there less murder on their mother and daughter?
