teardrops

The leading woman said to Rui'er: "My name is Hongling, you can call me Sister Hongling. What's your sister's name?" Ruier replied meekly: "Sister Hongling, my surname is Chen, and my nickname is Xiaoyu .” I wanted to pretend to be Chen Xiaoyu, so I used this name.Hongling said again: "We were ordered to welcome you. Since you are new here and everyone is a hard-working person, come with me. I will tell you the situation here." Walk into the mansion.

Na Hong Ling said as she walked, "We are all women who pay tribute to the River God along the Yellow River, but we have never seen the River God when we arrived at the River God's water mansion."

"Oh, what does the River God want us girls to do?" Rui'er asked, feeling strange in her heart, and then thought that if Feng Yi didn't care about it, he could still wait for the opportunity to find water jade in the water mansion, and his chances of winning were increased by two points.

"Who can guess the mind of the God of the River?" Hong Ling smiled wryly, "We are usually placed in the first courtyard of the Water Mansion, provided with food and clothing, and raised like guests, but every month, a A sister, went to another place alone, never came back, and did not know whether it was life or death."

While speaking, he brought Rui'er to a small courtyard, still in that enchantment, he could see the Yellow River flowing overhead, and even the blue sky and white clouds, which made people feel extremely weird, and following When they left, the barrier in the open space also disappeared, turning into a river flowing.A burly and ugly man stood in front of the gate of the courtyard. Rui'er saw at a glance that it was a yaksha, so she remained calm. Hongling respectfully said to the yaksha: "We have respected the order of the lord in charge and brought her back. Please report back to the steward, and we will arrange her well." The Yasha agreed, and turned around and walked towards the main hall of the Water Mansion in a daze.Everyone then walked into the courtyard. There was a pond in the middle of the courtyard, and a few lotus plants were planted in the middle. There were more than a dozen rooms around, with blue bricks and black tiles, without decoration, which looked extremely simple.Hongling took Rui'er to a room with simple furnishings, including a bed, wardrobe, tables and chairs, and said, "The owner of this room was summoned last month, so sister Xiaoyu will live here. And her clothes, Sister Xiaoyu will just use it. We came here with the intention of dying, and we don't have so many taboos. Now that we are here, we will never get out, so we can live in peace and live a happy life. Let’s count it day by day.” Rui’er nodded and agreed one by one. "The steward of the Water Mansion will come to visit my sister later, so you can just stay here and wait."

Hongling led the girls to leave, and when he reached the door, he turned to Rui'er and said, "There is one more thing, sister, please keep in mind that we mortals can only stay in this courtyard at the bottom of this river, and we must not mess around. Go, otherwise, if you leave the yard, there will be river water, and you will die." Ruier said: "Thank you sister, little sister made a note." Then Hongling left again.

All the girls went back to their own rooms, and closed the doors, not wanting to talk to Rui'er, the small courtyard became clean in a blink of an eye.

A feeling of anger rose in Rui'er's heart. She didn't know what happened to the girls that Feng Yi had summoned. The rest of the girls were imprisoned here, and they were tortured by fear every day. It was very pitiful. get out.Thinking of what Hong Ling said was coming again, but he didn't know who it was, whether he would see through his identity, he felt secretly uneasy, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and covered his face with a veil.He bowed his head and sat down on the side of the bed silently, without moving a muscle, planning to sneak out to look for Shuiyu immediately after the steward was dismissed.

After staying for half a stick of incense, I heard a burst of light footsteps slowly approaching from a distance, and heard a creak, the door was pushed open, and a slim purple shadow with a sword came in slowly, Rui'er slightly Looking up, I found that the person was Liuli!I couldn't help but my heart tightened, but my body remained motionless, I just buried my head deeper.

Liu Li's face was gloomy, seeing her sitting still and not paying attention, she thought she was scared out of her wits, and didn't care about it, but asked coldly, "Are you the new girl from Chen Family Village?"

Rui'er nodded, Liuli turned around slightly, "Since we're here, we must know the rules. The food and clothing here are provided by the Lord River God, so we will stay in this courtyard peacefully, waiting for the call of the Lord River God." Rui'er still Nodded, said nothing.

Liuli didn't look at Rui'er directly, but seeing that the woman kept silent, she was slightly annoyed in her heart: "Are you dumb?" Drink: "You are not a mortal! Who are you? Look up!"

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Rui'er sighed softly, raised her head, slowly took off her veil, and faced Liuli squarely.When Liuli saw it, her face turned pale and she whispered, "Rui'er! It's you!"

Ruier's figure flickered, and she stood behind Liuli, blocked the door, but said sharply: "Don't call me Ruier! You are no longer my good sister." Looking at Liuli again: "Why do you want to work for the tiger? Help that Feng Yi committed evil?"

Seeing that the flowery face that was usually full of gentle smiles was covered with a layer of chill, Liuli's heart sank, and her voice trembled a little: "Princess, you don't know, my parents' lives are all in that Feng Yi At hand... I was also forced..." Rui'er was startled: "What, he threatened you with your family's life?" My parents will be released only after they are caught in his hands." Rui'er's tone was a little slow: "Why didn't you tell me? We grew up together since we were young, and your parents are just like mine. If I knew, how could I Will you ignore it? Brother Huang and I will rescue them no matter what!" With tears in her eyes, Liuli took a step forward and knelt down: "Princess, Liuli is sorry for the princess... I would like to serve the princess again!" Ruan stretched out his hands, wanting to step forward to help her up, but seeing Liuli's eyes turned cold, a sword whistle came out, and the long sword came out of its sheath, pointing directly at Rui'er, "Princess, I'm sorry."

"Liuli, you..." Rui'er was actually guarding against her in her heart, and she dodged to avoid the sword's edge, but still felt a pain in her heart, it seemed that she had completely betrayed herself.He kept dodging again and again, but there were still a few strands of black hair cut off by Liuli's cold sword energy.

At this moment, there was only a clang, and a blue light flashed, a tall and handsome figure with a horizontal sword appeared in front of Rui'er, and the Liuli sword was blocked by a scabbard.Liuli took a closer look, and couldn't help shouting bitterly: "Zhan Zhao, it's you again!" Seeing the sword in Zhan Zhao's hand, she was shocked: "Emperor Zhu Sword!"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "Yes, today I'm going to use it to take your life!" After drawing out the sword, a murderous aura of heat swept over the sky, Zhan Zhao's figure flickered, and the sword was like a rainbow , and heard a few more bangs, Liuli was forced to the corner, and the long sword was thrown away again, and Zhu Emperor's sword had already reached Liuli's throat.

Liuli couldn't bear the heat of Emperor Zhu's sword, she was dripping with sweat, her pretty face was flushed red, she was extremely embarrassed, her heart was ashamed, she closed her eyes and died.

Zhan Zhao looked back at Rui'er, Rui'er understood, and said, "I don't want your life. I just want to ask you, where did Feng Yi put his water jade?"

Liuli said sadly: "I don't know." Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Rui'er asked again: "Is my emperor brother in Feng Yi's hands?" Where?" Liuli said in a low voice: "The bottom of the Yellow River Water Mansion, trapped in the Dragon Pond." Ruier asked again: "How did Feng Yi take the emperor away?" "Feng Yi spent more than ten years of hard work, Dozens of your imperial brother's dragon guards, more than a dozen were sent to Meng Yan's mouth to die, and the rest who could be bought were bought, and those who could not be bought were controlled with soul locking nails. It's ridiculous that he regards them as his confidantes A vicious smile appeared on Liuli's face, "The Dingde Palace was also restricted by them. As soon as your brother entered, his mana was immediately blocked. They pierced your brother's chest with the dragon-locking sword, and cast another He used the invisibility technique, and left without anyone noticing, and imprisoned him here."

"What!" Rui'er was anxious and angry, "Feng Yi is so vicious!" "Yes, in the trapped dragon pool, Feng Yi nailed him to the bottom of the pool with a dragon-locking sword, and every day he drew fire from the sky and burned him The whole body, let his wounds heal at night, repeat every day, let him suffer every day, life is worse than death!" The more Liuli said, the more ferocious her face became, "You... since you know, don't you have the heart to look at it, just Standing on the sidelines? He treated you like his own sister since he was a child!" Rui'er also lost all color on his face, and asked in pain, "I can't bear it?" Liuli smiled miserably, which made people's hearts chill: "He treats me Well, it's just to make you happy, he only has you as his sister in his heart!"

"After you went to the Heavenly Master's Way, he didn't even look at me!" Liuli told the most painful past in her heart. Since when, she has been deeply infatuated with that noble and extraordinary prince of the dragon clan. His frown With a smile, every word she said made her haunted and dreamed, and she didn't know what to eat.After Rui'er left, he stopped paying attention to himself.She tried everything, but she couldn't make him look at her more, give herself a smile, and even sneaked into his bedroom in a fancy dress, and was scolded coldly when he found out.Endless love gradually turned into hatred. Later, Feng Yi tied her parents away and asked her to deal with the noble dragon prince and princess. She agreed readily, not entirely for the lives of her parents. But it was to take revenge on him, to retaliate against his neglect and disdain for him.

"Liuli, you..." Rui'er was startled, "Could it be that you...to Brother Huang..."

"I just want to take revenge on him!" She murmured, now he is being tortured endlessly, but she doesn't have the pleasure of revenge at all, her heart is always hurting, it hurts even more than when he ignored her before.

Two clear tears flowed down slowly from Liuli's cheeks, she gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and hit Zhudi's sword.Zhan Zhao reacted very quickly, and hastily withdrew the sword, but the sword was already touching her throat, and Liuli was as fast as lightning, so it was too late, only a puff sound was heard, Zhu Emperor's sword pierced Liuli's throat, and a stream of blood spurted out. Liuli fell softly.

Rui'er let out a low cry, and ran to Liuli, Liuli's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, her trachea was cut off, and she couldn't speak anymore, she just looked at Rui'er miserably, with endless regret in her eyes.Blood gurgled out continuously, Liuli's eyes gradually closed, and a wisp of fragrant soul dissipated with the wind.

Kaifeng City

Bao Zheng was dealing with official duties at the desk, but saw a servant coming to report, saying that the Eighth Prince had sent someone to deliver the letter.Bao Zheng hurriedly called him in.But he saw that the person who came was Hu Defu, the chief eunuch of Nanqing Palace. Hu Defu looked flustered, saluted him, and said to Bao Zheng without any greetings, "Our lord has ordered, Lord Bao immediately go to Nanqing Palace to meet the lord."

"Bao Zheng complies, but may I ask my father-in-law, why did the prince summon Bao Zheng?"

"My lord Bao, my lord has strictly ordered that this is a serious matter, and I will only inform you when I arrive at the Nanqing Palace." Hu Defu's tone was still flustered.

"Oh, then please ask the eunuch to go back and return to order, let Bao Zheng change the court clothes, and immediately go to Nanqing Palace."

"My lord has orders, Mr. Bao doesn't need to delay changing clothes, and set out immediately with the slaves."

"Oh?" Bao Zheng was puzzled, the Eighth Prince had always been graceful and behaved properly, why was he in such a hurry?

But at the moment, he was wearing casual clothes, carrying four guards, and rushed to Nanqing Palace with Hu Defu in a sedan chair.

When they arrived at the Nanqing Palace, Hu Defu led the way, avoiding layers of notifications, all the way to the main hall.Walking around the eight-treasure jade-carved screen, I saw that the eight kings and Prime Minister Wang were already sitting inside, with serious expressions on their faces.

Bao Zheng was about to salute the two of them, but the Eighth Prince had already said first: "Bao Zheng doesn't need to be too polite." Then he turned away, and only three of them were left in the room.

After all the servants left, Bao Zheng was about to ask, but Prime Minister Wang spoke first: "Bao Zheng, we are looking for you today for the emperor's business."

Before Bao Zheng could reply, the Eighth Prince said again: "The current situation of the emperor is worrying..." He paused, and said to Prime Minister Wang: "Tell him to know."

Prime Minister Wang showed a dispirited look on his face, and said, "The emperor is indeed seriously ill as rumored."

When Bao Zheng heard the words, although he had already guessed a little bit, he was still shocked: "The emperor is in his prime, and the dragon's body has always been healthy. How could he suddenly fall ill? What kind of disease is he suffering from?"

Prime Minister Wang said hesitantly: "The disease your majesty suffers from is very strange. He has a high fever, is insane, and can't eat. He talks nonsense all day long and keeps saying that there are evil spirits in the palace. The doctor in the imperial hospital has seen it. I can't tell what kind of illness it is. Therefore, the old man and the prince strictly ordered the servants in the palace not to disclose the news of the emperor's illness."

Bao Zheng said: "Then the prince and the prime minister invited Bao Zheng to come, what do you want Bao Zheng to do?"

Prime Minister Wang glanced at the Eighth Prince, his expression became more hesitant, and he said: "The old man discussed with the prince, since the doctors in the imperial hospital did not know about the disease, maybe the emperor is not sick, but... but bewitched by evil spirits. .”
