The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 266 Swearing in the name of my mother

"Egret! I beg you as a master," Cheng Ling bowed to Zhao Shuang, and handed over the medicine gourd on his back, "This is the fairy medicine that I picked for my master on Kunlun Mountain, and I will give it to you! Let your junior sister go!"

When Honghu, who was hiding behind him, heard the word "immortal medicine", a sly light flashed in his eyes, "Master, can your medicine restore my appearance?"

"Shut up!" Cheng Ling slapped Honghu on the face with a "slap", and said angrily, "How dare you mention the fairy medicine?! Hurry up and kneel down and beg your senior sister for mercy!"

"Senior Sister, please forgive me." Honghu knelt down reluctantly and saluted.

She didn't understand that Cheng Ling's cultivation base was clearly higher than that of the egret, so why was she afraid of the egret and let herself kneel down to the egret?

"Master, you taught us from a young age that the Tao follows nature and everything should go with the flow, but now you are raising this evil creature..." Zhao Shuang shook his head and said regretfully, "It is really unwise."

"Alas! Master understands..." Cheng Ling handed the medicine gourd to Bailu, and sighed, "This time... it is Master who is wrong..."

"Master, you are too partial!" Zhao Shuang took the medicine gourd, shook it, and heard that there were a lot of fairy medicine in it, "When I was burned by the real fire of samadhi before, you didn't show up. If you don't show up when the insects are biting you, why do you show up to save my junior sister every time she is in trouble?"

"Honghu..." Cheng Ling glanced at Zhao Shuang with some embarrassment, and muttered, "She is not only my apprentice, but also my own daughter. She is destined to not live to be 13 years old. ..."

Zhao Shuang was taken aback, and hugged the medicine gourd tightly, "Didn't you say... Honghu is the little princess Ruzhu from Beiliang Kingdom? How did she become your daughter? Could it be that you..."

"Master and the queen of Beiliang back then..." Cheng Ling scratched his head embarrassedly, "Master really doesn't want to talk about such a counterintuitive thing, but... Honghu is indeed the only daughter of the master, you say, How can I watch her die?"

"Master, you can save her once, but you can't save her forever." Zhao Shuang tied the medicine gourd to Ruoji's back, pointed at Honghu and said, "I'll let her go this time, but if she does something wrong next time , Master can no longer favor her!"

"Egret, don't worry," Cheng Ling saw that she let go, and hurriedly pulled Honghu up, planning to leave, "I will take her away as a teacher, and I will never let her come out to harm others!"

"Wait!" Zhao Shuang narrowed his eyes, and said to the backs of the two who were about to leave, "Master, make an oath!"

"You girl, why don't you even believe Master? You still want Master to swear?" Cheng Ling curled his lips, and seeing Zhao Shuang staring at him coldly, he could only swear by the sky, "I swear by the sky by Cheng Ling..."

"Wait!" Zhao Shuang interrupted him again, "I want you to swear in the name of my mother."

Cheng Ling was stunned, and didn't speak for a long time, until Honghu pulled his sleeve and said tearfully, "I... I swear by Cheng Ling in the name of the former queen, if... if my disciple Honghu does something wrong again, I will Don't save her, let her...fend for herself! If you break this oath, your soul will suffer forever!"

He used to be the guardian of the former queen Yinyao. Before Yinyao married into the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he and Qingwu accompanied her for countless years, but now they are separated by yin and yang.

Thinking of the past, Cheng Ling couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Go!" Zhao Shuang waved his hand wearily.

The old man quickly walked into the crowd with Honghu and disappeared into the distant night.

The Xuanwu Battalion sergeants around were still surrounding Zhao Shuang.

Xie Heng, who had just left, returned to the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion. At this time, he boldly stepped forward and asked Zhao Shuang, "Eldest Princess, what should I do now?"

Chen Yang died, the dragons in the Xuanwu camp had no leader, and they dared not proclaim themselves king, so they came to ask Zhao Shuang what he meant.

"Where's the Queen Mother?" Zhao Shuang asked, "Take me to see the Queen Mother first."

"Yes, my subordinate will take you there." After Xie Heng said, he winked at a general who looked like a general, and the soldiers quickly moved out of the way.

Xie Heng led Zhao Shuang and Ruoji towards the inner hall of Anqing Palace.

Just entered the night.

Anqing Palace has not been repaired for a long time, and weeds are overgrown on the stone steps. At first glance, it looks like a cold palace.

Zhao Shuang led Ruo Ji for a few steps, and then heard the voices of the palace people laughing and raving from the inner hall.

The voice sometimes laughed and laughed, and sometimes sighed and complained, appearing eerie and terrifying in the hazy night.

"Xie Heng!" Zhao Shuang felt terrified when he heard it, and hurriedly called Xie Heng to ask, "Where did this voice come from?"

"Princess Hui, it came from the cold palace next door." Xie Heng pointed behind the high wall.

It turned out that what Zhao Hongyi said about the mad concubine being imprisoned in the cold palace turned out to be true.

When the two of them walked to the door of a dark wing room, Xie Heng stopped in his tracks, cupped his hands and said, "Eldest Princess, the Empress Dowager... is inside."

This is a corner palace with a low roof, separated from the cold palace by only one wall.

"Thank you," Zhao Shuang felt strange that at the door of the bedroom where Empress Dowager Liu lived, there was no maid and Xiao Huangmen who were responsible for the transmission, so she said to Xie Heng again, "Brother Xie, please help me pass the transmission."

Xie Heng nodded, and said loudly into the room, "The eldest princess is here!"

After a long time, Nanny Rong opened the wooden door of the palace room and leaned out holding a lampstand, "Please, Eldest Princess."

After this period of time, Nanny Rong has no flesh on her face, and her face is narrower and more expressionless.

Zhao Shuang dragged Ruo Ji to the threshold, and found that this was an ordinary dormitory, which should have been lived in by an unfavored concubine in the past.

The bedroom is not big, with a bead curtain hanging in the middle, inside the bead curtain is a sleeping couch, outside the bead curtain is a square couch, an incense table, a shrine, not even a chair for guests.

Nanny Rong also lit the lamp on the incense table, and went into the inner room.

The room was dimly lit and silent.

Ran Yan was sleeping in front of the square couch, and the long-haired dog looked at her and Ruoji vigilantly, and when they saw them coming in, they still kept silent, showing no intention of approaching them.

In its eyes, Ruo Ji has become a bloodthirsty monster.

Ruoji looked at Ranyan in embarrassment, walked around it twice, and returned to Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang patted Ruoji's head and said softly, "It's okay, Ruoji, I'm here."

Empress Dowager Liu slowly came out from behind the bead curtain, kept her head down, as if she couldn't see her, walked to the side of the couch, and sat upright.

In the past, whenever she saw Zhao Shuang, she would warmly call her "Zhaohua", but now she doesn't even bother to put on a show.

Nanny Rong dragged Zhao Shuang a bamboo and rattan cushion. Zhao Shuang was pregnant and it was not convenient to sit on that cushion, so she still stood in the room.

"Mother's queen." Zhao Shuang called out.

"Why is the eldest princess so polite?" Empress Dowager Liu looked up at her slowly, her voice was lukewarm, without the warmth of the past, "Now that my great righteousness is gone, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is gone, I can't bear it." From your gift."

Zhao Shuang looked at her and turned his mind a few times, hesitating whether to tell her the news that Zhao Hongyi was still alive.
