Chapter 83 Unaging
I waited in the lobby for a long time. After a long time, Ouyang Wan almost wanted to greet the ancestors of the owner of the villa. Just as Ouyang Wan was about to curse, a woman in strange black walked up gracefully.
Not only the style of clothes is strange, but also the hat on the head is a style that people have never seen before, with a black feather on it. In front of the hat, there is a black lace blocking the woman's face, but it can be seen from the exposed neck skin that the woman's skin color is extremely white, as if she had not seen the sun for a long time.
Jiang Mozhu gently walked to Ling Yue, whispered a word in her ear, pretended that nothing had happened, and stepped back a few steps.
"You..." The woman sat gracefully on the only chair in the hall, thought for a long time, and said slowly, "Do you want to eat?"
"We're not here for dinner." Ouyang Wan said loudly.
"Aren't you here for dinner? So are you here for tea?
Ouyang Wanqi said, "I'm not here for tea. We're here to see the poor women who were lured here by you."
"Then go and see for yourself."
"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite." Ouyang Wan didn't expect that the other party would let go so easily. After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped, "Where are those women?"
"You have to see it yourself, and look for it yourself."
"You..." Ouyang Wan suddenly felt that the woman's way of speaking was similar to that of An Luo, which made people speechless.
"Elizabeth." Ling Yue took a few steps forward and said harshly, "Give me the key."
The woman sitting on the chair trembled slightly: "You..."
"I just want the key. Those girls have nothing to do with me." Ling Yue's tone was more fierce, with an irresistible momentum.
Elizabeth raised her hand and gently took down her hat with a faint smile on her face: "It's good. We're the same."
The moment he saw Elizabeth's face, Xia Yan almost fell: "You, you are..."
Xia Wuchen looked at his brother's reaction doubtfully. Did his brother know this woman who looked like a monster?
"Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for 20 years. At that time, you were just a ten-year-old child." Elizabeth smiled gently, with a faint light flowing in her turquoise eyes.
"You, you... you are my father's singer." Xia Yan finally said the second half of the sentence stuck in his throat.
"The emperor's singer?" Ouyang Wan said, "How can you emperor father have such a monster-like singer?"
"The pool water in the royal garden." Xia Wuchen said lightly, "Have you forgotten that twenty years ago, a singer with golden green eyes came to Linyun? Later, his father insisted on canoning the singer as a concubine, but was stopped by the empress dowager. After that, the singer jumped into the pool water of the imperial garden, and since then, the pool water of the imperial garden has been fragrant.
Ouyang Wan scratched his head with a completely disbelieving expression: "That was 20 years ago. No matter how you calculate, the singer should be 40 years old, but she looks like a girl in her twenties."
"I don't know about this." Xia Wuchen said lightly.
"Is it because it's a monster that won't get old?" Ouyang Wan said.
Ling Yue sighed and said, "Don't discuss whether women will get old or not here. They are well maintained. Even in their sixties, they can look no different from those in their twenties. Have you ever heard of peeling?
"Pear?" Ouyang Wan, Xia Wuchen and Xia Yan asked in unison.
An Luo leaned his head and said, "Ah, it's a peel."
"Do you know?" Ouyang Wan turned around and looked at An Luo.
"In the oldest tribe of the Kingdom of Jin, there is a secret art that can keep women young forever. Use an iced knife to cut the opening at the root of the ear, then tighten the skin on the face, remove the excess skin, and then sew the wound, so that there are no wrinkles.
Ouyang Wan shivered: "It's disgusting."
An Luo said with a smile, "What's wrong with this? I think it's good. My mother moved two knives to keep her father's heart.
"Women can do everything to stay young forever." Ling Yue raised the corners of her mouth gently and looked at Elizabeth, "Is it?"
Elizabeth replied with the same smile: "You are really like her, even what you say is the same." Elizabeth's eyes fell on the painting hanging on the wall and stared for a long time. Ling Yue also looked at the painting on the wall confusedly, and the atmosphere was silent for a moment.
After a long time, Ling Yue withdrew her sight: "It's more than just like."
Jiang Mozhu's eyes were bitter and seemed to be wandering.
"They rescued me from the lake, left a pile of silver, and threw me here." Elizabeth seemed to be a little tired and supported her forehead with her hand, but her eyes kept staring at the flowing night standing in the corner. "You are also here. I thought you would never come again, beautiful teenager."
Liu Ye frowned. He didn't know why Elizabeth said that to him.
"Shut up, don't say what you shouldn't say." Ling Yue said angrily, "Give me the key."
"Get me out of here and I'll give you the key." Elizabeth gently raised the corners of her lips.
"Get out of here?" Ling Yue asked, "What are you going to do after you leave here?"
"Of course, I'm going to find my lover, who is what you call the emperor."
Ling Yue looked solemn: "Even if you leave here, you won't see him, and... you and he are half-brothersisters."
As soon as this came out, Xia Wuchen and Xia Yan asked at the same time, "What?"
"Brother and sister." Ling Yue said slowly, "The perfumer who came to Linyun 40 years ago gave birth to a baby girl for your grandfather. Empress Dowager Duanfu sent Grandpa Hai to kill the perfumer and the baby girl, but later Grandpa Hai finally did not kill and let the baby girl go. After being exiled to the State of Jin, the baby girl turned back to Linyun and entered the palace by chance. But the Empress Dowager Duanfu knew that the baby girl was the child left by the perfumer 40 years ago. Therefore, in order to avoid the emergence of evil fate, Empress Dowager Duanfu ordered Grandpa Hai to push her into the pool of the imperial garden. Unfortunately, she deserved to die. She was rescued again and has been locked up here ever since.
"Oh, my God..." Xia Yan couldn't help sighing.
Xia Wuchen was silent and did not express any comments.
"Why does the water in the royal garden have a fragrance?" Ouyang asked at night.
"I'm not a fairy, how can I know?" Ling Yue said.
"I will answer this question." Elizabeth changed her hand to support her forehead. "When I entered the palace, the emperor asked me to choose treasures at will in the treasury, so I chose a beautiful bottle. He told me that it contained the most precious poison in the world. The name is Niaohua Yixiao. Although I don't like this strange name very much, the bottle is really beautiful.
"A smile." Ouyang Wan was surprised and couldn't speak, "Oh, my God, Xia Guo actually smiled."
This time it's Ling Yue's turn to wonder: "What is a smile?"
"That's what your emperor's father drank before he died." Ouyang Wan said, "It is rumored that people who drink a smile can avoid the pain of reincarnation and be reborn. However, there seems to be a premise that the head must be cut off from the body, and I don't know if it's true or false. Ah, speaking of Ling Yue, your father's head seems to have disappeared. King Kang said that he didn't know who cut it off on the way.
"Oh." Ling Yue answered faintly, "It's just a legend."
"That's not a legend." Jiang Mozhu said quietly, "You know what I mean."
"Okay, I lost to you." Ling Yue shrugged her shoulders and said, "How many secrets are there that I don't know?"
"When I die, you will know almost everything."
"Then die quickly." Ling Yue said impatiently.
