Chapter 243: In the Warm Fang Palace

The wedding is scheduled for March.

Since Xiao Cuixin learned the news, she locked herself in her room, didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and her body was losing weight day by day. When the palace maids who served her saw this scene, they all felt sorry for her. After more than half a month, Xiao Cuixin still refuses to go out. These palace maids were secretly anxious, and took turns guarding the door every night, worried that she would not think of doing stupid things. After another half a month, Xiao Cuixin finally figured out that instead of torturing herself now, it would be better to act on the camera at that time.

Most of the palace maids in the Nuanfang Palace are the close attendants of Lu Siyi, the concubine of the Jin Kingdom. When Kaifeng fell, there was chaos in the palace. Lu Siyi and his apprentice Bei Yuanqing fought their way out of the encirclement, but it was difficult for these dozen weak palace maids to escape.

Yelu Deguang originally wanted to take these beautiful palace maids for himself, but after thinking about it, he had just pacified the Central Plains, and if he acted recklessly in the harem, he was afraid that he would delay state affairs. In the next few months, the Liao soldiers fought in the grass valley everywhere, causing anger and resentment, and finally led to continuous revolts in various places. Yerod was so tired that he gradually forgot about the concubine. It wasn't until Xiao Cuixin returned to Kaifeng that he re-remembered the existence of the Nuanfang Palace.

Xiao Cuixin grew up in Kaifeng since she was a child, except for the blood of the Khitan tribe flowing in her body, she is no different from the Han people in all other aspects. After she lived in the Nuanfang Palace, she was polite to the palace maids around her. Although these palace maids were very afraid of the Liao State guards, they were not wary of this innocent and hearty Liao County Lord.

Early this morning, a palace maid walked to Xiao Cui's heart, and overheard the sound and shadow of the long sword hitting the air inside, and mistakenly thought that Lu Siyi was back, so she asked in surprise: "Concubine Niangniang, are you using the sword?" She has been with Lu Siyi for many years, and she is accustomed to the concubine's morning martial arts practice. Xiao Cuixin in the room was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then opened the door and came out, raised the long sword and said with a smile: "This is your concubine's sword! There are a lot of them in it." When I saw these swords, I remembered my sweetheart. I've been very bored these days, so I picked a sword that looks pleasing to the eye, and danced like Brother Yang, I didn't expect to evoke your memories of the concubine, I'm really embarrassed!"

The palace maid knew that she was wrong, and immediately said respectfully: "County Lord, this is none of your business, it is the slave maid who is confused." She paused for a moment and asked curiously, "County Lord, although you don't know martial arts, you really look like a woman holding a sword." Xiao Cui smiled heartily and said loudly: "Yes, if I knew martial arts, I would have escaped a long time ago, and I would not have fallen to this point." Speaking of this, she regretted a little in her heart: "I knew that this would be the case, and I shouldn't have returned to Kaifeng with Du Gongzi in the first place." ”

As soon as Du Chi arrived outside Kaifeng that day, he was picked up by Du Chongwei. Du Chongwei knew that his son went with Guo Rong to rescue Emperor Jin, and was worried that the Liao lord would be furious, so he put him under house arrest in the palace early. Wait until the storm is calm before letting him out.

The palace maid felt the same way, and said abruptly: "County Lord, you are so beautiful and beautiful, you actually want to marry someone who has never met a few times." It's a pity that the slave doesn't know martial arts, otherwise he would be able to escape from this forbidden palace with the county lord. Xiao Cuixin shrugged and said, "That's it, even if we all know martial arts, we are not the opponents of those guards." You go down and rest first, I want to be quiet for a while. The palace maid said "No" and slowly retreated.

In a few days, it will be an auspicious day. In order to prevent mistakes, Yelu Deguang specially increased the number of Ouchi guards. Not only that, but he also asked Lu Wanli, the head of the four general managers, to personally sit in the Nuanfang Palace. When those palace maids saw this sturdy man, they all became cautious, and they didn't dare to make a sound, trying to avoid his gaze.

Lu Wanli is naturally accustomed to it.

After all the palace maids went back to their rooms to rest, Xiao Cuixin walked over to greet him and asked, "Lord Lu, do you have any news of Brother Yang?" Lu Wanli shook his head and said, "County Lord, we have followed your guidance and searched all over that cliff. There were dozens of graves at the bottom of the cliff, but there was no body of Le Gongzi among them. Judging by his subordinates, it is very likely that Le Gongzi is still alive. Xiao Cuixin frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "I hope you are right." ”

When she returned to Kaifeng that day, Yelu Deguang sent Lu Wanli to welcome her into the palace. Xiao Cuixin was still worried about Le Yiyang, and as soon as she saw Lu Wanli, she told her what happened that night. Lu Wanli admires Le Yiyang very much and thinks that he is a martial arts wizard who is rare in a century. When he learned that Le Yiyang had fallen off a cliff, he immediately sent more than a dozen elite guards to look for him. The men searched the bottom of the cliff but never found his body.

Lu Wanli glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he leaned over and said, "County Lord, do you know why the emperor gave you to Lu Zhicheng?" Xiao Cuixin raised his head, his eyes shimmered, and he shook his head gently. Lu Wanli said: "It's not a secret, Lu Zhicheng presented a treasure map to the emperor. The emperor was worried about military spending, and suddenly learned the whereabouts of Huangchao's treasure, and immediately agreed to Lu Zhicheng's request. ”

Xiao Cuixin suddenly realized that she was just a reward for Lu Zhicheng, and she became even more heartbroken. Lu Wanli sighed and said, "County Lord, the matter has come to this, please want to open some." When he said this, his voice suddenly became heavier: "Lu Zhicheng is really a despicable villain! A ban on martial arts in the world has harmed many martial arts warriors." ”

Lu Wanli was originally a descendant of the Zhuliang royal family, and seeing the lives of his compatriots in misery, the resentment in his heart can be imagined. As soon as his voice fell, he felt that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly apologized: "My subordinates are angry for a while, please forgive me!"

Xiao Cuixin said softly: "Lord Lu, I can understand your feelings. Lu Zhicheng failed to become the leader of the martial arts alliance in the world, and he must be haunted in his heart. He instigated the emperor's uncle to issue a ban on martial arts, not for the sake of Da Liao, but for his own selfishness. It is really wishful thinking that such a selfish, insidious and vicious person still wants to be my husband! Even if I bite my tongue and kill myself, I will not marry him. ”

Lu Wanli was shocked when he heard this, and dissuaded: "The county lord must not act rashly! There is still room for negotiation in this matter! The emperor is not an unreasonable person. Xiao Cuixin shook her head and said, "Lord Lu, no need. If you really want to help me, please let me out of here. Lu Wanli frowned and said, "County Lord, you will be embarrassed by your subordinates." If you escape, your subordinates won't be able to deal with you. Xiao Cuixin knew that he would answer like this, and said casually: "I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously!"

Lu Wanli didn't know the truth in her words, but thinking that since she had plans to escape, she could only strengthen the vigilance in the Nuanfang Hall just in case. 9110
