Chapter 28 Ending in the Court

Huo Yurui understood that Ling Xiao wanted him to hide the truth. Otherwise, Liu Bici's family would inevitably be implicated, and she would not even die at peace.

This is not a trivial matter. In case something happens, neither of them can escape. However, Huo Yurui thought about it and nodded.

"Thank you, my lord." Ling Xiao solemnly thanked him.

"In my investigation, a villain entered the house and robbed this morning. He happened to enter Miss Liu's room. Miss Liu resisted desperately, and then she was killed." Huo Yurui announced to everyone. After the incident, people were panicked and everyone was not at peace. In any case, it was always necessary to give everyone an explanation.

Although this explanation seems to be full of loopholes, but the good thing is that these ladies are timid and scared. No one has carefully observed the scene except Ling Xiao. What's more, in the final analysis, after all, it's not your own business. Even if it's sad, it's just the rabbit's death and the fox's sadness, worrying about his future. Maybe there are still people who are secretly happy, and another competitor is missing. Who would really want to find out the truth for the so-called "sisters"?

After that, Huo Yurui sent someone to send Liu Bici's body and her maid back to Songhu County, and immediately repaired a letter to report the "want" of the matter to the emperor. By the way, he also informed Liu Zhixian and asked him to pay his condolences.

It's only been a day since departure. Unexpectedly, so many things have happened, one injury, one death and one repatriation. Fortunately, Lin Xuanyu woke up at noon. Otherwise, if the lady of the governor's house had something good or bad, it would be a big deal.

"Miss, thanks to Miss Ling Xiao, otherwise..." Zhu Xiang said and cried again, "Otherwise I won't see you."

After Lin Xuanyu woke up and knew what had happened, he felt difficult and said to Ling Xiao, "I have known for a long time that the road to the palace would not be smooth. I didn't expect that something would happen to me so soon. Sure enough, it's right not to enter that place that destroys people's hearts.

After hearing about Liu Bici, I was even more sad.

"Sister, as long as it's okay." Ling Xiao just silently comforted that she saw this thing with her own eyes, and how she was not sad.

"Sister, thanks to you this time, please be worshipped by my sister." Lin Xuanyu said that he was about to kneel down and was stopped by Ling Xiao.

"Sister, why do you have to do this? My sister just happened to have encountered such a case, otherwise there is nothing I can do. It can be seen that our sister's fate has long been doomed. Today, my sister said something abrupt. If my sister doesn't mind, why don't we be sisters? Ling Xiao said eagerly.

As soon as Lin Xuanyu heard this, he was stunned. He immediately smiled and took Ling Xiao's hand and said, "This idea really suits me. It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Shall we become a sister with different surnames today?"

"It's so good."

With that, the two held a simple ceremony and knelt down to worship heaven and earth. They became sisters, made an agreement with each other, lived together for a lifetime, and never abandoned each other.

"It's really a blessing in my last life to have a sister like you in this life." Lin Xuanyu hugged Ling Xiao and said.

"My sister is going to break me by saying that. It's Ling Xiao's blessing to have a sister like you."

"Well, don't be modest, two ladies. It's a blessing for me and Zhuxiang to have a good master like you." The blue fog smiled as one side.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Xiang also said that this little girl, like their young lady, is very suitable.

"It's all because we are neglecting discipline. Look at the two of them, they are getting more and more honest."

Everyone laughed.

Because of these many things, everyone did not rush that day, so they stayed in the post hall for another night's rest. Huo Yurui was afraid that something would happen again, so he arranged people to take turns to watch the night. He didn't sleep all night and would never allow any more trouble.

In fact, most people can't sleep. Ling Xiao slept soundly. After all, he was tired.

The next day, the sun was just right, and the wind was gentle and the sun was shining. What a nice day. The group packed up and went on the road again.

Since then, nothing has happened all the way.

After half a month, it entered the boundary of the capital.

The capital is naturally different from small towns and counties. Not only has people's food and clothing been greatly improved, but the degree of safety has also been greatly improved. Huo Yurui finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that the more he took it lightly, the easier it was to have an accident, so even if he was relieved, he did not relax at all in terms of safety and vigilance.

"My sister, I'm going to go to the palace soon. I don't know what our future will be like." Lin Xuanyu suddenly said sadly.

"Everything depends on God's arrangement." Ling Xiao's heart was also messy. He smiled bitterly and said.

"Yes, there are some things that you have to do your best, but most of the time, you can only listen to fate." The two chatted a few words, and then there was nothing more to say.

The next day, they will enter the palace. All the show girls will be arranged in the Yuxiu Palace, and then take turns to participate in the election in batches. The draft girl will be arranged in another palace, waiting for the reward, and the loser will be returned to her family immediately.

It was finally time to enter the palace, and a beautiful girl cried happily. No wonder they suffered a lot along the way, especially the shock. How could they suffer?

I don't know why, the next day, an aunt from the palace took them into the palace. When asked about Lord Huo, the aunt looked puzzled: "What Lord Huo? I'm also qualified. I haven't heard that there is an adult surnamed 'Huo' in the court.

No one asks too much. I guess this aunt is just bragging. It's normal that she doesn't know. As for why Lord Huo disappeared, it may be just inconvenient to enter the palace.

In front of the palace gate, she led her aunt to take them to the left side door. The bold show girl asked, "We are the show girl who is entering the palace to be selected. Maybe we will be the Empress in the future. Why do we go to the side door?"

My aunt looked at her with a sneer and did not answer. I probably feel that such a stupid woman can't stay for long.

Someone whispered: "This sister, unless there are special circumstances, only when the emperor's wedding can the queen be qualified to pass through the sedan chair from the main door. Like us, who are just little girls, are definitely not qualified.

When they entered the palace gate and saw the true face of the palace, everyone could not hide their envy. It's really a rich place. If it weren't for the draft, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen such a glorious place in my life.

"Ladies, this is Yuxiu Palace. Before the election, all the girls lived here, and everyone's room was arranged. I can't control it outside, but this is the palace. I hope you can take care of yourself. If something happens, don't blame my aunt for not reminding you.

Everyone lowered their heads and answered respectfully: "Yes."

Next, someone assigned accommodation to everyone and briefly talked about some rules. When he first entered the palace, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be a little nervous. Fortunately, the girls who came from the same place almost all lived together. There are sisters who have been together for nearly a month, and finally feel a little less uneasy.

"Sister, I heard that all the draft girls live here. There are a total of three or four hundred people, and there are also servants. How can they live here?" During the dinner, Yan Xurui said.

"You think this palace is your own boudoir, not to mention three or four hundred people, even if it's three or four thousand, why not?" Luo Zhang smiled contemptuously.

Ling Xiao listened and couldn't help but see a trace of sarcasm in his eyes. It could be seen that Miss Luo was not a really knowledgeable person, and she had to pretend to be in front of others.

Yuxiu Palace is not particularly luxurious, but it occupies a wide area and has always been used to accommodate the show girls to be selected, or to send some temporary uses. However, even if it is large, it is not enough to live in thousands of people. It can be seen that Luoshang is too exaggerated.

What's funny is that Yan Xurui still looked at her with admiring face: "Sister Luo knows a lot." In fact, the reason why Ling Xiao knows this is that many of them have heard what Lin Xuanyu said, but even if they don't understand, they shouldn't talk nonsense.

"Sister, the show girls have been divided into three groups in total. The draft will last from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. Which group are you from?" Lin Xuanyu asked.

"I'm going tomorrow, where's my sister?" Ling Xiao said.

"I'll be tomorrow, too." Lin Xuanyu smiled and said, "Well, it's over early. It's okay to stay or go. Set your mind early, so as not to always think nonsense."

"Yes." Tomorrow is the time to decide her fate. Tonight, it will be another sleepless night.

"In a word, no matter what the outcome is, we should be good." Lin Xuanyu held Ling Xiao's hand tightly.

"Hmm." Ling Xiao's head was heavy.

The next day, Ling Xiao got up very early. But she was not eager to apply powder and dress up like the beautiful girl next to her. She just simply washed and sat in front of the dressing table and didn't move.

It was not until the time was approaching that Ling Xiao began to change his clothes. However, it was only an ordinary light green palace suit cut according to the rules. Only a silver star needle was inserted in the bun, plus a jasper embedded red treasure exquisite hairpin, and there was nothing to be outstanding.

The blue fog is so anxious, but it's not easy to say more. Maybe Miss has other ideas.

The draft is not simply enough for the emperor to have a look. That's the last step. Before that, you have to pass the five levels and kill six generals - there is a special aunt to check the bodies of the girls. In fact, it is similar to the local procedure, but it is more strict.

tall, short, fat and thin, can't be one point tall, one point short, and can't be one point fat, one point thin. In addition to body shape, there is also body odor. Those with body fragrance are the best. Even if there is no fragrance, there must be no odor. Otherwise, you can directly check your name on the list. There is also skin, and there must be no dark spots or birthmarks all over the body, and there must be no scars. In addition, there are many strict regulations, such as where the body can't grow moles, whether the facial bones are blessed or not.

After these conditions were deleted one by one, hundreds of beautiful girls went to half of them. These show women who were sent to the palace were carefully selected, so even if the conditions were harsh, many people passed easily.

Half a day later, there were still about 40 people left in Ling Xiao's group of beautiful women, waiting for lunch and waiting for the emperor to summon them. I also feel sorry for these women. There are many people who have not dripped in in order to take care of their makeup.

"Sister, you are so well dressed, but even so, it is still difficult to hide your talent for beauty." Lin Xuanyu only wore the most ordinary moon-white palace costume, and the bun was also a bun combed by many Gong'e. Unlike Ling Xiao's simple dress, she is really vulgar, but she is really natural and beautiful. Even so, it is still unforgettable.

"sister, don't make fun of me anymore. I'm really sad. What if the emperor wants to see me?"

"Yo, which show girl are you from? How dare you talk wildly!" With a delicate shout, a palace costume beauty turned out of the corner.
