the first lady

Chapter 190

As it was getting dark, Qiao Ling'er's disgust became more and more serious as she walked in the palace where there were many eunuchs and maids but still seemed deserted.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano came over, and she suddenly stopped, and listened carefully, but found that it was gone.

Is it my own hallucination?
Just when she was about to leave, the sound of the piano came again. This sad tone, ancient and deep, made her frown.Could it be that some unfavored concubine is playing such a sad piece of music?

He lifted his footsteps and walked towards the place where the sound of the piano came out.

It wasn't that she was curious, but that she realized that she had lost her way while walking, and that the famous thief had lost her way.Of course, the reason is also simple, she didn't look at the road when she walked, so now she doesn't know which direction she should go, especially there is no eunuch, maid, or guard in the hell.

Walking along the sound of the piano, it became clearer and clearer.Although the sky is dark, but after all, this matter is in the palace, there are lanterns hanging everywhere, it is difficult to see the road.

After turning around and turning around, I finally noticed the source of the sound.And she was already in a courtyard at this time.

This courtyard seems to be independent and far from the rest of the palace.

Qiao Ling'er didn't bother to look at the specific scenery in the yard. What she saw at a glance was the place with white curtains, which should be a pavilion.

Strange to say, there is no light in this yard, the only light is the bright moon in the sky, which makes her eyes a little uncomfortable, and this ghost place is really quite gloomy , which made her somewhat creepy.

Qiao Linger frowned slightly and walked towards the pavilion. For some reason, she felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The sound of the piano became longer and longer, but unfortunately the sadness in the sound of the piano became more and more intense.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the sensitive woman immediately turned over, and the coldness passed close to her cheek.If it weren't for her quick movements, what fell now would definitely not be just a lock of her hair, but her head.

"Who is bold, dare to trespass the forbidden area!" The visitor raised his sword and pointed at Qiao Ling'er, his aura was well hidden, and nothing was revealed.

Qiao Ling'er could probably see the appearance of this person, it was an unfamiliar face, but the coldness on his face was piercing to the bone.Just now, this man really wanted to kill her.

"I'm sorry, I just lost my way, only because I heard the sound of the piano..." Qiao Linger said the truth, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Her gaze could not help turning to the gazebo behind the tulle, but it was a pity that the sky was very dark and the distance was a bit far away. Even though she could see the figure inside, she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Do you know that those who trespass in the forbidden area of ​​the palace: die!" The person in front of Qiao Linger said urgently and coldly, and the sword in his hand moved again at this time.

Qiao Ling'er was startled, she didn't have such strong martial arts in ancient times, but this man's sword energy was enough to make people frightened.

He turned over neatly to dodge the sword, but the next move struck her again.In the process of going back and forth, Qiao Linger became serious. Every sword of this man was intended to kill her. If she was a little careless, she would really lose her life.

Why there is a forbidden area in the palace, and there is no sign outside, she really didn't know, so she walked in.

And now, how would she get out?

She wanted to call the man in the gazebo, but the man's sword was entangled with her. As a last resort, she had to pull a silk thread from her arm and used it as her own weapon.

As for the silk thread, Zong Zhengyi asked Jingfeng to get it for her. Although it was only a thin silk thread, it was stronger than any thin thread. The real sky silk could not be cut with a sword.She had only learned it for two days, and she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.And ordinary people are not allowed to bring swords into the palace, and they don't even have a dagger on them, so they can only make do with it temporarily, hoping to get rid of it quickly.

"Celestial silk!" The man who did it was a little surprised when his sword touched the natural silk, and quickly regained his composure.

Qiao Ling'er found that the man's attack became more tricky after realizing that the silk in her hand was in her hand, and her internal strength was only a little bit, so every time she greeted with silk, she would be more powerful, but against this Such a person with profound inner strength, no matter how agile her actions are, she cannot easily avoid it.

Suddenly there was a strange sound in the air, Qiao Ling'er was alarmed that something was wrong, and was about to dodge immediately, but unfortunately the sword was already coming straight for her.

With a sound of "ding", a three-inch long dart completely sank into the pillar of the gazebo, and the tip of the sword that had approached Qiao Ling'er was also hit by something and deflected to one side.

"Brother Chu, show mercy." An eager voice sounded, and then a white figure appeared in front of Qiao Ling'er.

"Yi?" Qiao Ling'er was a little surprised, but she was still not as shocked as she was.

Just now she had noticed the dart coming towards her from behind, and she wanted to avoid it but was intercepted by the person in front of her. She was just a little bit close, and she might be buried here today.

"Ling'er, are you okay?" Zong Zhengyi asked worriedly, checking her body with one hand, and holding a pot of flowers with the other.

After calming down the tension in her heart, Qiao Linger shook her head: "Yi, you came in time, I'm fine, don't worry..." If he didn't come, it might really be her fate.

"Mr. Zongzheng, how could you...?" The man who had almost killed Qiao Ling'er with a sword before could not help being surprised after seeing Zongzhengyi's appearance clearly, but the voice was icy cold.

"Yi, isn't this lady your beloved lady?" A pleasant male voice rang out as the sound of the piano stopped, followed by a figure dressed in colorless but definitely light-colored clothes.

Hearing this voice, Qiao Linger frowned, it was the person from that day!
"Mingyue, you know I will be scared to death by you." Zong Zhengyi was relieved when he heard him speak, his palms were covered with sweat.

A chuckle came from the man's mouth, and the stick tapped the ground lightly, and Qiao Ling'er realized that this gazebo had no steps, and it was the same as the flat ground she was walking on now.

"Yi, don't worry, even if you don't show up, I will take the shot." He smiled, and a stunning face was reflected under the candlelight of the sudden visit.

"It's really you?" Although Qiao Ling'er was certain in her heart, she still couldn't believe it.

"Ma'am, you are safe and sound." He nodded and smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze in March.

At this time, his smile was genuine. It was different from the smile Qiao Ling'er saw when he accidentally broke into his cultivation courtyard. It was much more real.

"Linger, this is the current second prince, Helian Mingyue, who is my good friend." Zong Zhengyi introduced Qiao Linger without avoiding suspicion.

"Second prince?" Qiao Ling'er was quite surprised. She knew from the beginning that Emperor Wu had five sons, the fourth prince died early in the morning, and the second prince... She had never heard of it.

Helian Mingyue smiled softly when she heard the surprise in Qiao Linger's tone, "Madam doesn't need to regard me as the second prince, it's just a title."

Listening to Helian Mingyue's words, Qiao Ling'er became even more puzzled, what is going on?Why did another second prince come out, and his eyes are... wait, could it be... If Yun Zhongyue is really here, it is because of Helian Mingyue?
"Yi, did you bring me something good?" After a moment of silence, Helian Mingyue asked accurately without moving her eyes.

It was only now that Qiao Ling'er noticed the pot of pearl chrysanthemum in Zong Zhengyi's hand. At first she wondered who the good friend he mentioned was, but she didn't expect it to be the second prince?

"Mingyue, you are still so powerful." Zongzheng Yi smiled relaxedly, and handed the chrysanthemum to him, "It will be your reward for giving Linger your pet as a bodyguard!"

Hearing that Qiao Linger's eyes widened, the Black Panther paid her as a bodyguard? ? ?Countless question marks hovered above his head.

Fang Helian Mingyue had already handed over the stick in his hand to his hidden guard, and at the same time took the pot of pearl chrysanthemum into his hand, "Pearl chrysanthemum... it seems that the value of asking for leave is really not small, I wonder if Madam will be satisfied ?” He said the first sentence to himself, and the second sentence was for Qiao Linger.

Qiao Linger's head was full of black lines when she heard the sewage, "I'll ask weakly, can you explain what's going on?" What is the relationship here?She is very dizzy now!

"Master, Mr. Zongzheng, Madam, let's talk in the room, it's cold here." Another voice sounded, and then a person appeared out of thin air.

Qiao Ling'er knew that person, he was Chu Ge whom Helian Mingyue asked her to find.

"Yi, when will the palace banquet start? Are you going now?" Helian Mingyue asked while stroking the pearl chrysanthemum. She was walking, but she didn't look like someone who couldn't see.

"There is still half an hour before the official start. The emperor should also know that I will come to you, no problem." Zong Zhengyi said lightly, while shaking Qiao Ling'er's hand.

Qiao Ling'er was very depressed, she now felt that her eyes were hazy, what was the relationship between Zong Zhengyi and Helian Mingyue?And the address between the two of them is also very close, just like brothers.

Candles were lit in the originally dark room, which made Qiao Ling'er slightly irritated, and when her eyes were sour, tears began to flow.

"Ling'er, are you not used to it?" Zong Zhengyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his sleeves, his movements were extremely gentle.
