019 Palace Change
The news that the queen is pregnant is like giving birth to wings, which spread all over the palace in an instant.
Although the eunuchs served trembling and carefully, always like walking on thin ice, even so, there were still many people in the harem who were scolded and even beheaded by the king of Chu because they were scolded by the queen, which made people panic, and the whole harem was shrouded in misery.
This kind of resentment and fear that try to suppress is not only felt by the palace people who serve, but now it has become the hatred of the ministers in the court. Seeing that the king of Chu is so tyrannical, the country has no wise king, and there is a strong enemy outside, everyone's eyes slowly wandered, and coincidentally fell on another member of the royal family. Come on, a drastic change is imminent.
In the quiet changes outside, the life in the harem will never change.
Several maids of honor buried their heads to clean up the fallen leaves in the courtyard. At first, they could still see each other. After scanning for a while, they gradually separated. A maid of honor near the south wall lowered her head and swept around, gradually into the depths of the secluded corner of the wall. Then she raised her head, looked around for a while, recognized the direction, and then turned back.
When she came back, the other maids of honor were ready. One of them looked back and saw her coming over and said, "Why did Xueer sweep so far without saying a word? There is still a lot of work here. Be sharp. Don't delay." Xue'er didn't make a sound correspondingly. She just nodded her head and took the broom into the room to put it.
Another maid beside her looked at her back and sighed, "It's also pitiful. No matter who sees her cousin die tragically in front of her, she can't stand it."
"The one who killed the previous son... is her cousin?"
"Isn't it? I heard that it was my cousin. The two sisters were very good. Unexpectedly, it was just a cup, so... I saw their family coming and going, and went straight in and went out horizontally.
"It's really... alas. It's also fate. Isn't it all like this when you get here?" An older maid of honor sighed, "If such a thing happens, let her be alone. The days will always be fine." Xiuer, come on, let's go to the front. Who is on duty today?
A petite maid of honor quickly followed and answered in a low voice, "It's Sister Wen'er on duty..." The two gradually walked away as they spoke, and the remaining maids of honor no longer said more and assigned their own work. Naturally, the work for the Xue'er faction is unique. First, everyone doesn't know how to comfort her. It's better to let her stay alone. Second, the tragedy that has just happened is vivid in my mind. Maybe the disaster has not gone far, and who dares to provoke bad luck.
Xue'er didn't say a word. She hung her head and walked towards the palace wall. When she arrived at the embroidery room, she saw the unfinished embroidery on the table, so she sat down and worked hard. In this way, no one asked her to go to dinner, and she was silent. She just occasionally got up sideways to listen to the noise. A garden face was plain, but her alert eyes were unusual.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, like a forgotten corner. Not to mention the human voice, even the birds could not be heard, and time slowly flowed away in this silence. After looking up at the sky outside the window for the last time, the Xueer suddenly put down the needle in her hand and walked out of the room without hesitation.
I walked around all the way and finally stopped in front of a large and luxurious palace. The sun shone on the palace gate, and the huge three words "Ningxu Palace" were right in front of me.
This is the queen's residence, and she didn't stop walking. She only waited outside the palace gate for a moment and then dodged in. After searching vigilantly all the way, after walking for a while, suddenly a voice broke into my ears and shouted sharply angrily, "Get out of here, let me out."
The corners of Cher's mouth pulled slightly, showed a strange smile, and followed the sound. Sure enough, when I walked out not far, I saw several maids of honor rolling out of a room. They were all scared and pale, and their bodies trembled. The voice in the room was especially, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die. Don't let me see it again." The maids of honor were scolded by her, but they immediately dispersed as if they had received an amnesty.
The room also calmed down. There was no sound around, so she quietly approached, listened to the corner of the window for a moment, looked left and right, and dodged to the other side of the wall...
After the queen in the room shouted back the crowd, there was no real anger. She just walked into the inner room, took out a silver box from the side of the bed, sat in front of the mirror and opened it. She stretched out her fingers and held a soft thing in the box. She looked up and saw herself in the mirror, but she didn't stop. She reached out and gently stroked her cheek, and looked at it with a smile for a while. Then she sighed, opened a thin-necked bottle in front of the mirror, poured out a few oily things, touched it with her fingers, gently patted it around her face, and then applied a wet veil to her face and raised her face for a while. Then he lifted the veil carefully and slowly, pinched it on his face, and made a lot of muddy things. When he raised his face again, the person in the mirror had completely changed.
The face in front of him is slightly longer and his lips are thicker, but it is slightly similar to the previous face, which is the charming eyes. Although they are smaller, the look in his eyes has not changed. The queen looked left and right in the mirror, reached out and pulled the prepared clothes and put them on. For a moment, she looked like an ordinary maid of honor. She stopped dressing up and turned her head to look at the sky. She estimated that it was almost time. Then she sneaked out of the corner door on one side, trotted all the way, and quickly walked out of Ningxu Palace and went out in one direction without looking back.
And behind her, a man who was also wearing a palace dress also followed.
The two of them walked out one after the other, and it was not far away. They heard a burst of fast and dry footsteps in front of them accompanied by a very soft shouting, "Quick, faster, you take a shortcut to the back and surround the exit. You follow me." Both of them quickly avoided the rockery beside them. As soon as they hid, they saw the two teams of imperial forest troops. He went to Ningxu Palace.
Unexpectedly, she had rushed into the harem. It seemed that the front was in chaos. The queen sneered slightly, looked in the direction of their disappearance for a while, and turned around and still walked forward. Along the way, the more you go, the more chaotic it is. At first, it was just a faint sound. Every time it approached, the sound gradually became clear. From time to time, the eunuch maids fled, panicked and looked around to hide like headless flies.
In such a situation, the two of them no longer have to hide their bodies. Learning to hold their heads in their hands, they ran out in a dignified way. Soon they arrived at the middle gate. After going out, they would no longer be the boundary of the inner palace. They usually couldn't cross every step, but at this time, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves. Naturally, no one pays attention to it.
The two ran out of the middle door one after the other. The main hall was already close in front of them. On the long stone steps, a lot of corpses were poured down, with official costumes, imperial guards, and even eunuch maids. The limbs were mutilated, and the blood was everywhere, and blood-red wounds were spread on the white jade.
The air is filled with a strong smell of blood, and the sound of tearing is especially in the ear, which makes people dizzy and the heart beats like a drum. In the face of the tragedy in front of her, the queen just hurriedly turned around and narrowed her eyes to the main hall. Just as she was about to move forward, there was a trembling voice beside her and said, "How can we... escape?"
The queen turned her head and saw a maid standing behind her, about the same height as herself. At this time, a garden face was scared snow-white, and even her lips were shaking, looking at herself eagerly.
The queen hummed and wanted to ignore it, but then she had a flash of inspiration and whispered, "Why did you come here?"
"The back... messy... messy, everyone is running around, and I can't tell..." The garden-faced maid was very scared.
"Well, then you can follow me. I know there is a secluded place in front of me, and I may be able to hide there for a while." Queen's Road.
"Really?" The maid's eyes lit up and she came forward to hold her hand. "Sister, that's so nice. Then I'll follow my sister."
The queen frowned and wanted to shake off her hand, but she put up with it again. She took her hand and whispered, "follow me," and then walked aside. There were several corpses under her feet. She stepped over, but she felt that the hand she was holding trembled. She couldn't help sneer in her heart and turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, what's your name?"
The maid raised her pale face, tried to squeeze out a smile, and replied, "My name is Xue'er."
At this time, it was getting dark, and the corner of the wall was shrouded in shadow. The two of them leaned against the wall all the way to the west, but they had never been noticed. They just passed the side door of the main hall and faintly saw that the lights were bright there. Some people spoke hoarsely and loudly, and some people argued endlessly, which was very lively.
The queen glanced at it and turned to concentrate on looking for the small door she was familiar with. At this time, the movement in front of her was completely meaningless to her. Since the incident happened, the overall situation must have been decided. She only needed to find a meeting place with Chu Su and wait for him at ease, not to mention... She glanced at the maid of honor beside her and replaced the ghost. It has also been found, so there is nothing to worry about.
After looking for a moment, she saw the small door in the dark shadow. She gently pushed it open and dodged in with Xueer. Then she closed the door and listened for a moment. The small yard was really empty. She quickly walked to the inner room, looked around, and sat on the soft seat next to the garden table.
The people around him moved, and the maid named Xue'er also sat down next to her and whispered, "Is there no one here?"
The queen hummed and stopped talking to her. She closed her eyes and refreshed. Cher didn't listen to her, so she was quiet, and the two sat quietly in the dark. I don't know how long it took. A glimmer of light suddenly faintly reflected on the window screen. The queen was immediately alert and straightened up, but the familiarity from outside made her cry softly, "I'm going to rest for a while. You can stay outside."
After the man said, he heard the soft sound of the door opening, and the light came in. The queen stood up with a smile and her eyes were driven. Seeing that the snow had fallen asleep on the table, she stretched out a little finger on her neck. Then she walked out and knocked with a smile, "Your Majesty!"
