Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 5
Su Yanqing opened the door, only to see a woman standing by the door, her plain white clothes were soaked by the moonlight, and there was a faint brilliance flowing out.Her face was hidden in the shadows, so I couldn't see her face clearly, I just felt that she was standing quietly, her figure was weak, and her pitiful charm was captivating.

"Girl, please change places with this general." Su Yanqing gritted her teeth.

The woman didn't answer, she turned around and went into the room to take out a sleeping child.Seeing this, Su Yanqing shook her tall and straight body like an arrow.What is he doing?He was throwing a mother into a fire pit.He suddenly felt that his face was burning like fire, and he really wanted to slap himself in the face a few times.

"Let's go." The woman said lightly, without a trace of complaint.

Su Yanqing's forehead was dripping with sweat, damn it, he would rather attack a city than face such a situation.The two faced each other for a moment and stood silently.

Seeing this, Li Jing was surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted softly: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go." He looked at the child in Ouyang Ruo's arms, so he had to change his words: "This child is the princess of the abandoned country. A palace maid is here to watch, you follow us quickly."

Ouyang Ruo suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "I can go with the two adults, but the adults must agree to protect my child." Under the night, her tears were blurred, shining like stars.Su Yanqing was fascinated by watching it for a while, and was stunned for a while.

Li Jingcai said impatiently at the side: "Women are troublesome, she is the emperor of the abandoned country, and no one can touch her without the order of Lord Marquis. Well, our family will send someone to take her to Duke Hua of the abandoned country. "Speaking, Su Yanqing motioned for him to send someone quickly.

Ouyang Ruo was helpless, knowing that she couldn't let her go at this time, so she had to carry Di Ji and walk with the guards.Su Yanqing didn't say a word, she buried her head and walked quickly to the front.

The luxurious Huaguo palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, and winding corridors, does not have the breathtaking majesty, but it is mostly the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.But under the shroud of the moonlight, it looks like a gloomy tomb.Ouyang Ruo hugged the sleeping Di Ji tightly, feeling terrified in his heart, but forced himself to be calm on the surface.She heard a few chatters from the guards, and all the women in the harem were gathered in the Yonghua Palace in the queen's palace.What makes her special than others?Why was she in solitary confinement?

Could it be the look in front of Qianyuan Hall?

Ouyang Ruo was thinking wildly in his mind, but he didn't expect to arrive at his destination soon.Li Jingcai waved his hand, whispered a few words in the guard's ear, and then a palace maid came up and took Di Ji over.Ouyang Ruo just felt like a knife was twisting her heart, and she was very reluctant to let go. Although Ling Xiang was not her own, but after such a drastic change, she treated her as her own child.After a little hesitation, he turned around and saw Li Jing was impatient, so he gritted his teeth and handed it over.

In the night, the armored iron swords of the guards are cold and frightening, and the numerous pavilions bark their teeth and claws in the night, like ghosts and monsters.Ouyang Ruo looked up at the palace gate in front of him, and couldn't help but gasp——Ling Yunxuan!
Lingyunxuan is Vantage's favorite resting place on weekdays.Needless to say, there is a dazzling array of treasures inside, but the corridors are twists and turns, and the rockery pool is the culmination of Chinese garden craftsmen.Huadi likes elegant things, and most of the rare treasures collected from all over the country are placed here on weekdays. He also boasts that he has the ambition of Lingyun, so he changed the name of this place to "Lingyun".Ouyang Ruo travels here a lot on weekdays, but she has never been so nervous as today.

The country of Hua is gone, who is capable and qualified to live here now?Ouyang Ruo's thoughts turned quickly, and the answer in his heart was ready to come out.And why did she come, and for whom?

She turned her head abruptly, and saw Su Yan's Qingqingjun face under the palace lantern with traces of remorse, the palace lantern was blown on and off by the night wind, finally his face could not be seen clearly anymore.Ouyang Ruo only felt a "click" in her heart, before the sharp despair overwhelmed her, a pair of hands twisted her hands violently, quickly tied her hands, and pushed her forward.

With a sound of "dong", she was locked in the Biyue Pavilion in Lingyunxuan.His mouth was also covered with a thick cotton cloth, and his limbs were bound and covered on the bed.In the past, she was known as the number one beauty in China, who walked like a willow blowing the wind, and sat like a flower in the garden, but now she has no image at all, and she is tied up like a rice dumpling.Ouyang Ruo just felt that he couldn't even cry.If she guessed right, she must have been dedicated to that marquis as a tool to warm the bed.

The crimson crocodile tents that fill the sky are gently curling up around the ivory bed.Where the breeze passes by, the fragrance of flowers and plants outside the window, the incense of the incense burner indoors, and the intertwined strange fragrance are refreshing.The room is full of charming and ambiguous colors.

No, she can't just lie around and do nothing.When did she, Ouyang Ruo, become such a lamb waiting to die? !Ouyang Ruo struggled up and moved for a while, making his head dripping with sweat, but he only moved a small piece of ground, and his bound hands hurt more and more.I don't know how long it took, there seemed to be a noise coming from outside the door, Ouyang Ruo couldn't care less about the pain in his hands, gritted his silver teeth, turned over and rolled off the bed.

With a "boom", her forehead touched the ground, and she felt the pain so much that tears flowed out.Resisting the pain that was about to groan, she gritted her teeth and rolled towards a heavy curtain in the room. If she could escape tonight, she must find a way to escape.She also has Ling Yu who is living outside, and Ling Xiang who was entrusted to her by Concubine De, she must live to see them with her own eyes...

She was thinking about how to hide, when suddenly she saw a pair of black boots standing silently in front of her, her scream was only blocked by the cotton cloth in her throat, and it became a babbling sound.In the next moment, I just felt dizzy and dizzy, and when I could see clearly again, I had already fallen on the bed.His face touched the soft quilt, and his breath was suffocated.

"Who are you?" A deep voice sounded coldly behind her.

Ouyang Ruo was easily pressed on the bed with one hand, and felt that the air in his chest was being squeezed out little by little, almost suffocating.Cold sweat slowly ran across her cheeks.Ouyang Ruo couldn't speak, and she didn't dare to struggle, but the man behind her didn't intend to let go of her.

"Do you think that the Marquis has nothing to do if you don't speak?" The man's voice was as cold as frost, and a fierce murderous aura hit the back of Ouyang Ruo's head. If he had a knife in his hand, her head would probably fall to the ground.Ouyang Ruo thought with a wry smile.

With a "bang", Ouyang Ruo was thrown to the ground by him, the cool moonlight illuminated her face a little clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and then disappeared.

Ouyang Ruo felt that almost all the bones in his body were broken, and everything in his body ached.Tears were brewing in the clear eyes, but they still refused to roll down.

"So it's you." The man's voice was as deep as Tan Shui.

Ouyang Ruo focused her gaze and looked up at him.He was facing the window, and he seemed to be leaning leisurely on the low table in front of the window, but his eyes were shining brightly, piercing people's hearts.The two were silent relative to each other.There was a strong smell of wine in the air, but it was Huaguo's Royal Wine Lihua Bai.This wine has a light taste, but it has great aftertaste.Ouyang Ruo flashed this thought, and was shocked to find that he had the leisure to pay attention to such trivial matters.

The next moment, her mouth loosened, it turned out that he had removed the cotton cloth from her mouth.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Huotian asked coldly, his sharp eyes were full of guard.

When Ouyang Ruo heard the words, he wanted to laugh for some reason. It turned out that he was a slave who wanted to please the lord and presented himself as a tribute. It's ridiculous that he didn't know?Thinking of the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she gasped in pain immediately, and the wound on her forehead was still throbbing.

Chu Huotian looked coldly at the woman half lying on the ground. She had a face so beautiful that every man couldn't help but cherish her, but her eyes were as clear as cold springs. Looking at him, she didn't know how to dodge, let alone A trace of fear.The drunkenness surged up one after another, and he felt uncomfortably hot all over, and his eyes began to blur, but the habit he had developed over the years made him look at her without letting go of his guard.

Although it is just a woman who is tied up.

"Master Hou, please let me go. The slave girl was tied in because she accidentally went to the wrong place." Ouyang Ruo saw that the look in his eyes was getting more and more serious, so he quickly lowered his eyes and lowered his head. Pretending to be extremely scared and cowardly.

"Oh?" Chu Huotian suddenly smiled softly, "Did you go to the wrong place?" Ouyang Ruo peeked at him, and saw that his face became more bewildered, as if he was about to fall asleep if he squinted.

Just when she thought he didn't believe it, he suddenly smiled drunkenly and said, "Okay, I'll let you go." There was a trace of teasing in his voice, and after finishing speaking, he stepped forward and gently twisted her hands and feet, He untied the rope for her.

Ouyang Ruo struggled to get away, and as soon as he was free, he immediately ran out the door like a frightened rabbit.She quickly passed through the heavy curtains without stopping, only hoping that the man would let her escape by luck if he didn't recover.

Vantage likes elegance, and an ordinary living and sleeping place is made with twists and turns.She walked left and right only to see the door not far away, she was overjoyed and hurried over.If you don't pay attention to twisting your feet, you will fall to the ground.Before the exclamation came out, the person was lifted up and thrown into a wide embrace.She raised her eyes in shock, and met a pair of mocking eyes.

Chu Huotian clamped her hands with one hand, and gently stroked her smooth cheeks with the other hand. His eyes wandered around her face, as if he was thinking about something.The body clinging to her was swaying drunk, rubbing her delicate body very ambiguously.

"You... Did you go to the wrong place?" He leaned on her shoulder and smiled lightly, spitting out a strong smell of wine and touching her ear, causing her to feel numb, "It seems that my subordinates sent you to Come here."

Ouyang Ruo's eyes widened in shock, with a fire in his eyes, and he stared straight at her.Her temple hair was disheveled, and her clothes were disheveled. When she pulled and pulled, the collar had been torn off long ago, revealing her thin collarbone.A pair of clear eyes reflected his drunken and confused face, as well as those deep eyes full of burning heat.

He came over all of a sudden, sealing Ouyang Ruo's exclamation firmly.His heavy breathing lingered around her nostrils, and the breath and breath of the two were full of each other's smell, which aggravated the blurred thoughts in his eyes.At some point, she was firmly pressed on the bed by him, sucking her red lips repeatedly, and entangled with her forcefully.Ouyang Ruo only felt that his mind was blank, and he was like a traveler walking in the desert for a long time, asking for more rain from her.

"No, let me go..." He went all the way down, leaving more marks on her neck and chest.Ouyang Ruo finally came back to his senses, and the screams of panic filled the entire magnificent and complicated hall.

She didn't know that men were so different from men.His strength and Kongwu's strength will only fill her heart with hopeless fear.She bent her legs and struggled desperately, but he pressed her firmly with only one foot.

"Do you still want to run?" His deep voice sounded a little hoarse, which added to his charm.

"You...you let me go! No..." Ouyang Ruo screamed, and saw that he tore off her coat with one hand. Easily turn that dress into a white butterfly fluttering down in mid-air.

Ouyang Ruo was choked up, tears streaming down her face, resisting his invasion in vain.The murmured pleas ended up with intermittent whimpers.There was not even a single candle light in the hall, his touch and kiss were reflected in her mind so clearly and abnormally.His scorching body crushed her, the power on his body was so powerful, he enjoyed the body below him eagerly and methodically for a while, as if every trace of concealment in her body was a challenge to his authority.

She finally closed her eyes in pain, and a crystal tear fell down.

He suddenly stretched out his slender hands, wiped away her tears, said something in a low voice, hugged her tightly, and sank into this cursed love again.

If the tears in Ouyang Ruo's eyes fell into the soft quilt, the tears in Ouyang Ruo's eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only little traces of water.And the long night was long, and the night wind carried the smell of wine, meat and rouge passing through the heavy old Huaguo dormitory, Ouyang Ruo only felt that his eyes were dim, and the pale moonlight stopped outside the window.

This is a place that even the moonlight would not want to step into...

"Are you all up?" a voice asked softly.Ouyang Ruo turned over and thought vaguely in her heart that it must be Cuiwen who came to see if she got up.

"No." A person next to him said timidly.Ouyang Ruo felt unreal when she was sleepy, she suddenly closed her eyes and smiled, if she got up immediately, would she startle them?After thinking about it, his eyes naturally opened.What came into view was a curtain intertwined with snow-white and crimson.

How did I get here?Vantage didn't seem to pass an edict last night.Ouyang Ruo stared straight at the curtain, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty is awake?" a timid voice next to her asked softly.

Ouyang Ruo stretched out his arm, and was about to lift a corner of the curtain, but couldn't help being stunned, his smooth white arm felt a chill in the slightly cold air.She seemed to have remembered something, she turned her head steadily, and the face of a strange and handsome man suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Ah!" Trembling, she grasped the quilt, wishing she could stay as far away from that person as possible.

The man slowly opened his eyes, first he collected himself, and when he met Ouyang Ruo's horrified eyes, his face suddenly darkened.

"Come on," he called.Several figures outside the tent kneeled neatly on the ground.Then two people opened the tent respectfully.Only then did Ouyang Ruo see that the court ladies who were brushing the ground had already been waiting for a long time, holding the washing utensils in their hands, kneeling outside the tent with their heads bowed.

The man took the casual robe he was handed over slowly, stood up, tied a knot casually, and turned his head to Ouyang Ruo as if inadvertently said: "Think about it yourself, if you are willing to be with Ben Hou, Ben Hou will naturally not treat you badly." .”

Hearing this, Ouyang Ruo felt the blood rushing to her face.Tears of humiliation welled up in a pair of beautiful eyes.Clenching the quilt tightly with his hands, the blue veins on the back of Yubai's hands faintly appeared, almost tearing a hole out of the quilt.

Chu Huotian turned his head to stare at her, but she slowly turned her face away, the flash of water in her eyes disappeared, and she remained motionless, curled up in a corner of the bed as if petrified.Chu Huotian unconsciously frowned his sword-like eyebrows, turned around and told the people on the ground in a deep voice: "Leave a few people to take care of you. This Marquis is going to take a bath and change clothes."

After a while, there were far fewer court ladies and eunuchs in front of the tent.Ouyang Ruo's mind was in turmoil, the words he said before leaving kept echoing in her mind, he gave her a choice...

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a bath first?" The maids in front of the tent saw her fascinated, and one of them stepped forward and asked with a bow.

Ouyang Ruo looked up, and saw that she was an old court lady who was almost 30 years old.His appearance is correct, his eyes are bright and energetic, unlike the eyes of the old people who have been in the palace all year round.

Ouyang Ruo calmed down and nodded, his face was still ashen. After all, this choice is to go from one man to another.However, that man is an enemy who destroyed his country.Do you really want to commit yourself to him?Ouyang Ruo was dazed in a daze, the hatred in his heart had nowhere to vent, he could only grit his silver teeth.The people around were tidying up in a hurry, coming and going, she didn't seem to notice.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant's name is Wanhui. Let the maidservant take care of the maiden to bathe and change clothes." The maid said without waiting for Ouyang Ruo to respond.Turning around and issuing a series of instructions, several court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly took orders to retreat.For a while, there were only two people left in the inner hall.

Ouyang Ruo couldn't help looking at her a few times, and said coldly: "Which palace are you from? I don't know that there is such a powerful aunt in Huagong, who can guess what she wants." She has been in a high position for a long time, The cold aura naturally exudes, approaching people's faces.

Aunt Wan Hui calmly knelt down and kowtowed: "This servant is from Concubine Jing Minshu's side. Since the concubine passed away, she has been working in the clothing bureau. The servant has a few words I don’t know what to say or not to say.”

Ouyang Ruo stretched his hands and feet that had been curled up for too long, only to realize that his body really hurt as if it had been torn, with large and small bruises all over his arms and chest. It is not difficult to imagine how intense it was last night.Her face turned red, then turned blue and white, and the expressions on her face alternated. Finally, she gritted her teeth and wrapped up the thin blanket, sat upright on the bed, and looked coldly at Aunt Wan Hui who was kneeling on the ground.

"Let's talk, with you like this, it's hard for me not to listen."

Aunt Wanhui kowtowed again in a neither humble nor humble manner, and then said: "The servant girl knows that the mother will not like to hear these words, but the servant girl has received the kindness of the mother, and dare not repay it. Now there are no eggs in the nest, The servant is a servant, so if you have a thick skin, you can naturally turn to the new master. As the lord of the first palace, the empress is involuntary in life and death. Although this encounter is hard to say, the servant thinks that this is an opportunity for the empress. Get rid of Opportunity for subjugated slaves."

"Fight!" With a muffled sound, Ouyang Ruo grabbed a golden thread dragon and phoenix acacia pillow in his hand, and smashed it head-on.It was hitting her on the head.Aunt Wan Hui was kneeling upright, her hairpin tilted to one side by the pillow, but she had no expression on her face.

She kowtowed again, and said calmly: "Your servant provoked your empress, and you will go to receive the punishment later, and please ask your empress to listen to what this servant has said. Now among the four countries, only Chu is the strongest. In addition to the destruction of Hua, Chu The power of the country is more prosperous, and Chu Dinghou is the most powerful in the state of Chu. If the empress can follow Chu Dinghou, it goes without saying that she can eat and wear, at least she doesn’t have to be like the empresses over there who don’t know what to do all day long .A bad one is either a slave or a prostitute. Life and death are not up to you.”

The deathly silence in the inner hall is so quiet that you can see the sun shining through the rosewood carved window lattices, casting mottled and messy spots, and specks of dust flying like frightened under the bunches of sunlight.

"Your Majesty is a transparent person, and this servant said all these words from the heart. Your Majesty is not alone now, and no matter how bad it is, she must think about the Emperor Ji. After the servant girl finished speaking, it is up to your Majesty to order you to punish or kill her." After Aunt Wan Hui finished speaking, she kowtowed to the ground straightly and didn't get up again.
