XXXIV. The water of the palace is as deep as the sea
The princes were so frightened that they immediately said: "I am willing to give up my life to accompany the gentleman, and I have no second heart!"
Princess Bitian was suspicious in her heart and looked at Suojiu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info asked for wine and said: "That will spare your lives for the time being, but I can't let you go." The wooden staff was a little heavier on the people's acupuncture points, causing them to faint again.
The two called Fan Laosan, tied up the sons tightly, and locked them in the cellar. Princess Bitian said: "Brother Fan, please find some credible brothers and guard here." I went to the palace with Suojiu. ”
Fan Laosan briefly asked the reason, his face was angry and admired, angry that the princes were insincere and treacherous, and he was respectful of the martial arts of Suojiu, and he said: "Princess, little brother, I don't come to persuade the two of you, I just hope that the two of you will succeed." The queen is so strong that even a hundred Fan Laosan can't compete with her, if it is not a perfect opportunity, she must not act rashly. ”
Suo Jiu said: "Why should Brother Fan worry? The ancients said: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone..."
Princess Bitian smiled: "What you said is too unlucky. It should be that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Let's go, let's go, don't talk nonsense. ”
She found two new clothes, changed them with Suojiu, and the two rode out and ran to the palace. Suojiu can't ride a horse, he is embarrassed, Princess Bitian sees his appearance, can't help but point out, Suojiu is very smart, and he rides freely in the blink of an eye.
Princess Bitian and Suojiu laughed and saw that he looked calm and calm, where did he look like an assassin who made a dangerous move and sacrificed his life? The two rode to a quiet and uninhabited place, Princess Bitian stared at him, stunned for a long time, and suddenly "woo" and cried.
Suo Jiu said: "Why is the princess crying? ”
Princess Bitian cried: "I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't have let you.... Let you do this... You're a good boy, I.... Be selfish, but don't kill you. ”
Suo Jiu sighed: "As the so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, I... Maybe he should have died a long time ago, but now that he has this opportunity, if he can spread some important news and save some innocent people before he dies, it will be in vain. ”
Princess Bitian approached and kissed him the cheek, seeing Suojiu's panicked appearance, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Suojiu, Suojiu, although you and I have known each other for a short time, but.... But I always think.... You're closer than my brother, just like my family. I can't bear you, today's business, let's stop here, let's think about it in the long run. ”
Suo Jiu hurriedly said: "Let's make a decision immediately, don't be half-hearted...."
But I heard a woman on the head laugh and said: "What a nephew, I worked hard to find you, but you are happy here." ”
Suo Jiu heard that the speaker was Dong Caiqi, he was surprised and delighted, and shouted, "Uncle Shi!" Looking up, Dong Caiqi landed lightly and looked at the two with a smile.
When Princess Bitian saw that the woman in front of her was extremely beautiful, and her appearance was about eighteen years old, she thought to herself: "He... Call her uncle? This girl is the master who saved me before? I can't imagine being so young? Well, I heard that Wan Xian has a very long lifespan and eternal youth, and it is true. She was probably hundreds of years old. As everyone knows, Dong Caiqi is only about twenty-nine years old.
Suojiu asked, "Uncle Shi, you really retreated." What about Senior Brother Qingzhong?"
Dong Caiqi sighed faintly and said: "He doesn't know where to run, I'm worried that I can't find him, so I have to find my senior brother and ask him to think of a way." But this stinky coil is winding, and I don't know where it has gone. Pan Xuan was meditating in Beicheng at this time, and she naturally couldn't find it.
Suo Jiu saw that Dong Caiqi's wrist was red and swollen, and asked with concern: "Uncle Shi, you... Injured?" Pulling up her wrist and gently massaging her acupoints, Dong Caiqi's pain decreased sharply, and he said approvingly: "I can't get home with my flesh and blood longitudinal control and mind practice, and I can't keep up with your ability to rejuvenate your wonderful hands." ”
Princess Bitian sorted out her thoughts, turned over and dismounted, bowed down and said, "Song Feng'er, the princess of Cold Fire City, the younger generation, see the predecessors of the Ten Thousand Immortals." I am grateful for the life-saving grace of my predecessors. ”
Dong Caiqi's martial arts skills were high, so he naturally thought that he was an elder, and when he saw that she was well-behaved and beautiful, and she was a princess in the city, he was very happy, and said: "Why worry about the work of raising your hands? I saw you and my nephew before... Ha ha... What is the reason for such affection?"
Princess Bitian blushed and said, "Suojiu is just a little hairy child, I treat him as a younger brother, and the seniors don't make fun of him." ”
Dong Caiqi winked at her and said softly: "Your Highness is only one or two years older than Suo Jiu'er, but it really fits..."
Suo Jiu saw that as soon as she came up, he pulled the red thread, and secretly shook his head: "This uncle is good at everything, he just loves Fengyue, is it really too idle?" and said: "I am discussing a very unfair matter with His Royal Highness, and Uncle Shi is here, so I can help with the idea." So he briefly talked about the queen's atrocities, and planned another assassination with the two.
When Dong Caiqi thought about it for a while, his eyes showed anger, and he said hatefully: "Your Highness's previous act of robbing the execution ground actually has such a reason. If this queen had done such a thing, it would have been an unforgivable sin. But the method of asking for wine is too dangerous, and you will go alone, and you will not be half sure, so how about I disguise myself and pretend to be the princess's maid, and go with you two?"
Princess Bitian said happily: "With the help of our seniors, then our chances of winning are much greater." ”
The three of them discussed it properly, and returned to the "Shuying Palace", where Princess Bitian lived in the palace, and found a maid's clothes to change into for Dong Caiqi. Princess Bitian looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "The senior's posture is like this, being my maid, it is too outstanding, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide." ”
Dong Caiqi said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I only follow from afar, snorting silently, and there is no flaw." Still uneasy, she suddenly lifted her hand, removed a fingernail, and stuffed it between the ribs of Suojiu. Suo Jiu snorted painfully and asked, "Uncle Shi, what is this.... What spells?"
Dong Caiqi said: "This nail can convey my thoughts, I am hiding in the palace, if you are in danger, your mind is confused, I can know immediately." You must not use merit to expel oppression. ”
Suo Jiu's eyebrows were full of surprise, and he said, "Does Uncle Shi have such ability?"
Dong Caiqi smiled: "Don't look down on me, this immortal is also the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, how can he be a person who does nothing?"
The three of them came out of the Shuying Palace, passed through the imperial garden, passed through the north gate, walked through the imperial steps, and arrived at the imperial palace. When the guards saw Princess Bitian, they avoided it one after another, not daring to stop it, and the three of them entered the main hall smoothly. The courtiers of the palace were lined up at the bottom of the stairs, and the queen was sitting side by side with a beautiful girl, chatting happily.
Suojiu and Dong Caiqi saw that the girl was the princess of Qiufeng, and their hearts were shocked, and they felt slightly flustered. At this moment, the Queen of Cold Fire also saw Princess Bitian and said with a smile: "Baby girl, savage girl, you are finally here, come and see this sister, you are the same age, you will definitely be able to become friends." ”
Princess Bitian didn't know about the feud between Princess Qiufeng and Dong Caiqi and others, so she smiled and said, "Mother, I also have a distinguished guest for you to meet." Walking a few steps closer, Princess Qiufeng was furious, opened her cherry mouth, and was about to shout, Suo Jiu took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "Suo Jiu'er in Xia Wan Xianmen, meet Your Majesty!"
Princess Qiufeng snorted and said, "Your Majesty, these Wanxianmen have an enmity with me, and they must be here to harm me, and please ask Your Majesty to arrest them quickly..."
Dong Caiqi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, under the command of the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, the Marquis of the Colorful Banner of the Patrol City, and the person of the Wanxian Gate Flying Sky Layer Gate Dong Caiqi, passing through here, I have come to meet Your Majesty." ”
Princess Qiufeng understood when she heard it, and said in her heart: "This Dong Caiqi.... She's actually the Marquis of the Central Plains? Is it true or not? Her senior brother is here, I.... I may not be able to escape. ”
The two of them thought about it, and when they looked at the queen again, they were taken aback: the queen's eyes were fixed on Suojiu's face, and her lips trembled slightly. Everyone knows that she has always been in her chest, and she is not shocked, and when she sees her demeanor, they can't help but be shocked.
Suojiu didn't know why, but he also looked at the queen's face, and under this look, he almost shouted, although the queen wore heavy makeup to cover up her flaws, her facial features and face were exactly the same as his long-separated mother.
His mind was confused, as if in a dream, countless questions came to him, and he thought to himself: "This.... How could the queen be so similar to my mother? I heard that my mother died of illness in order to see me, and she... How could it be.... How did she become a queen? Could it be that the rumors were wrong back then? Isn't my mother dead?"
The two looked at each other, and in an instant they forgot everything, and they thought about it, becoming more and more excited. But he has experienced hardships since he was a child, and even if he encounters this earth-shattering accident, he can still calm his mind.
After a long time, the queen sighed and said, "Your name is Suo Jiu'er, and now you are from Wanxianmen?" The tone was kind and sincere, and there was no hypocrisy.
Princess Bitian said curiously: "Mother, you... Do you know Suojiu'er?"
The queen trembled slightly, smiled very happily, and said: "No, no, I recognized the wrong person, Suo Jiu'er, look at your age, you have just entered the Ten Thousand Immortals, right?"
Suo Jiu said: "I... I was taken in by Master, and I did not enter the house for a long time. Previously in.... Jing Che Wu Xian's house is sojourning..."
The queen said "um" and said, "It turned out to be the amazing immortal, no wonder, no wonder, you come up, let me see you." ”
Suojiu did as he said, the queen pinched his palm, Suojiu felt a faint internal energy pouring into the meridians, testing his skills, he was full of agitation, vaguely remembering that his mother teased himself in the past when he was still a child, and he couldn't help but warm up and feel relaxed.
The queen muttered, "You've practiced.... The ascension of ten thousand immortals has not been tested by the spring water, and it is still the body of a virgin, right?"
Princess Bitian smiled and said: "Yes, mother, I was very lucky, I met him, and I came to see you in a hurry, I found such a treasure for you, how should you reward me?"
Suojiu pretended not to know, and said, "What Your Majesty said is good, but why do you ask such a question?"
The queen smiled: "Very good, very good, you are young and promising, I am very happy." You follow me into the palace, I have something to ask you. ”
Dong Caiqi couldn't imagine that she was so anxious, and he was worried, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to be alone with my nephew?"
The queen said softly: "Don't worry, the fairy family, I have my own measure, I just want to talk to this child, today's execution ground, let's write it off, and don't care about it." ”
Dong Caiqi's face changed, and he said in his heart: "She actually guessed that it was me?" Seeing that Princess Qiufeng's expression was not good, the guards in the hall were like clouds, and they could not quarrel, so they had to endure it for the time being.
