Destiny of crossing

We went back to the grove, a clearing in the forest, and I sat opposite the little princess.

The little princess took out his watch: "Now tell me, what is this?"

"I've seen this thing in Western countries, it's called a watch, and it's used to tell the time. At present, there should be no such thing in the Central Plains.

"

I hurriedly sent the princess a few words, my thoughts had already gone to the sky, I want to see Sima Ya, and I want to do it now.

"The Westlands? What is that place? How did you go there?"

"My father used to do business and took me there."

"Oh! How do you use this thing?"

I asked the princess to check the time, and asked: "Princess, is your Ten Thousand Flowers Creamy Lotion really that powerful?"

"Of course, the scars like the emperor's brother can be healed. Although the princess has not been able to see the injury of the emperor's brother with his own eyes, it is absolutely unmistakable."

"Unexpectedly, the emperor pays so much attention to appearance. The princess and the emperor must have a good relationship!"

"Well—it was okay before, but after the assassination of the emperor, he seemed to be a different person. He still had the same face, but it made people feel a sense of pressure."

"Isn't all emperors like this? It also makes people feel nervous."

"Brother Huang was very nice and gentle before, and he often played with me. He listened to everything my mother said. It's not like now, because of a male favorite and my mother's quarrel, I almost didn't anger my mother to death."

"There is such a thing—how can it change so much all of a sudden?"

"How do I know? If it weren't for that face, I would have thought that the emperor was a fake, but the queen mother said that he bumped his head when he was assassinated, so I don't remember many things, and his personality will inevitably change. Having said that, is he still going to admit that he is the most beloved son? Huh? Why are you asking so many questions?"

"It's nothing," I replied, I couldn't sit still any longer, some puzzles were slowly being solved, and to solve all this, the Queen Mother—

"Get rich, get rich."

I shivered suddenly, only to realize that I lost my mind in front of the little princess?

"What's wrong with you, you didn't respond to so many calls, don't you take me, the Princess, seriously?"

I looked at the little princess who was pouting angrily in front of me, so I had to quickly explain: "How come, I am just a slave, how dare I not take His Royal Highness seriously, I just thought for a while that I have been out for so long, what if the master finds me?" manage?"

"Oh? Then which palace are you from? I just want you to come here? It just so happens that the princess likes you very much."

I was stunned for a moment.

Just when I was embarrassed because I couldn't answer the little princess, a woman's voice came from the forest: "Qi princess, the queen mother wants to see you."

The little princess snorted, pursed her mouth and glanced dissatisfiedly at the maid who sent the message, and snatched my white jade flute away without warning, with a proud look in her eyes: "My princess will let you go back today, wait Tomorrow you come to my palace to report, and I will pay you back."

After the little princess finished speaking, she swung my white jade flute and walked away, leaving me standing where I was, with one hand stretched out in the air, with a helpless expression on my face.

At the same time, I made a bold decision to visit the Empress Dowager's palace at night.

It was very late afternoon at this time, and there was still a long time before dark, so I reversed my steps and returned to Chaoyang Palace facing the afternoon sun.

On the way, Shen Yi and Sima Yao's figures were exchanged back and forth, and then there were plans to visit the Empress Dowager's bedroom tonight.He didn't pay much attention in front of him, and bumped into someone accidentally.

"Sorry" I quickly apologized, and was about to dodge away, but I stretched out an arm stiffly in front of me: "I bumped into my lord, and you want to leave after saying your apology?"

Prince?My heart skipped a beat, it's not that bad!

I took two steps back and knelt down on one knee: "I—I don't know if it's the prince, the slave, please forgive me for the offense."

"Slave?" The prince's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and then he said in a soft tone: "You are the treasure in my brother's arms, how can you call yourself a slave! Get up quickly, and let me see Seeing what kind of beauty you are, you can actually make the current emperor commit such a crime, even the Chaoyang Palace is given to you!"

The prince's words were frivolous, with strong irony between the lines, which made me reject him instinctively.

If it was me before——

Forget it, what about the old me.

"Xie Wang Ye" got up, raised his head, and saw the prince's appearance clearly.

The prince is very young, at most 24 or [-] years old, dressed in a luxurious sky-blue robe, with eyebrows and eyes similar to Sima Yao's three points, the corners of his mouth are raised to one side, with a cynical evil and frivolous temperament, especially the chin The wispy beard on his face exaggerated this characteristic of him to the extreme.

At this time, he was smiling and squinting his eyes and looking me up and down. That kind of look, very obscene, made me shudder with goosebumps all over my body.

"As expected of the person that the emperor favors, he is indeed the best among people. I don't know who is better than Murong Chong, who is crowned as the son of the Phoenix. Look at this little face, it is really more delicate than a woman." Come on, let me touch it." As he said that, his hand reached out to my face.

I dodged away, feeling sick in my heart, but I could only calm down: "My lord, the emperor is calling me, so I can't accompany you any more, I will leave first." After finishing speaking, I passed behind him and walked away quickly.

"Remember, I am Sima Daosheng, king of Langya."

There were bursts of strange laughter from behind. For some reason, I felt a little uneasy.

After I went back, I looked at the Shou'an Palace next to me for a long time, but I still couldn't take a step forward, I still had a lot of energy in my heart, and I just waited to find out everything tonight.

Finally, when it was dark and everyone was going to bed, I sent the eunuchs and maids in my palace to go to bed early, and slipped out of the palace alone.

The empress dowager's residence is called Shoukang Palace, which is only a few hundred meters away from Chaoyang Palace, and there is only an imperial garden in the middle. Turn a few turns, pass a few intersections, and turn right.

Other places can be unimpeded, but it is much more difficult to turn into the intersection of Shoukang Palace and then go in.Fortunately, the little princess led the way before, and let me know how to avoid the guards of these guards. Under the cover of night, I almost entered the scope of Shoukang Palace smoothly.

It's just that this time is different from the daytime, there are guards installed at the back door that is still unguarded during the daytime, so I can't think of a way to sneak into the palace for a while.

In addition, there were quite a lot of guards patrolling the palace, it was difficult to hide their body in one place, so they had to hide around in fear at one end and the other end.

I'm hiding, I don't know where I'm hiding, but it looks like a secluded and secluded garden, unattended, although it doesn't have the gorgeous outside, it is also very well-groomed, but the strange thing is that the garden is in the middle of the garden. It seems that there is an ordinary stone tablet, and there is no word on that stone tablet.

How could there be tombstones in the palace?

I walked to the stele and saw flowers in front of the stele, and a copper basin for burning paper money, which still had unburned paper money.The back of the stele is covered by green trees, and there is no grass growing around the stele. People should often come to pay respects, but it’s just that whose tomb is whose name is not written on the stele?

Just in a strange moment, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from a distance on the small gravel road. My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly drowned out my figure. I just panicked and hid behind the stone tablet, and my body was just covered by the dense trees. .

As a last resort, I hope that the bones of the ancestors will not mind.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but they were not chaotic or urgent, and it could be heard that there were not many people.

I poked my head out quietly, and saw a man and a woman walking straight towards this side, still holding a basket in their hands.

I have also seen that man and woman, they are the Empress Dowager and Xie Xuan's third uncle, the current Prime Minister Xie An.

Shocked, he hastily retracted his head, his heart was beating violently, in the middle of the night, what are they doing here?

The footsteps stopped not far from the monument.

"Prince, mother is here to see you."
