Chapter 41

She never spoke tepidly, and there was a smile on the corners of her brows and eyes.

Qiao Ye blushed slightly, and stared at her reproachfully: "I will marry you tomorrow!"

"It's a pity that you are still young, and you can't get married even if you want to! Could it be that winter has just arrived, and you are thinking of spring? Who is so lucky that you have taken a fancy to it?" Shangxin's mouth has always been strong, after all, in Xunfanglou After staying for many years, I don't have much reservedness from my daughter's family, so I can say whatever I want.

Xu Shi put on women's clothes, Qiao Ye's childlike attitude was revealed, and she stomped her feet: "You can't say anything good! Go to Biyuan Temple today, and I will pray to God and worship Buddha, so that you can meet your nemesis! "

Xin still smiled subtly and gently: "I will also pray to God and Buddha, and ask someone to cure you little girl! You are smarter than anyone else, and you can learn everything at once. Who dares to ask you? One person is not enough, Add two more people, there will always be one who can cure you!"

Qiao Ye made a gesture to chase her, and the two girls fought and went out.Although it was just a casual joke, I didn't want it to be true.

Destiny just likes to joke sometimes.

If Qiao Ye knew that there would be so many people coming to Biyuan Temple, she would definitely not choose to go out at this time, it would not be too much to say that there are so many people.She and Xinxin had originally entered the hall holding hands on the steps. They had just obtained the lottery, but before they had time to get the lottery, they were dispersed by the surging crowd.

Qiao Ye looked around on tiptoe, but she was too short, blocked by the crowd of people, she couldn't even see the pleasing figure, she opened her mouth to shout, but didn't hear the pleasing echo, but I heard three disgustingly familiar voices: "Sister, I seem to have heard a fool shouting, right next to me..."

"Fool? How is it possible. Isn't the fool imprisoned in Shizhuyuan? Daddy said that she has smallpox. If she can't survive this month, she might not survive."

"Die? Well, it's no different with her or without her, but it will be less interesting for us to play without her in the future."

"Yeah yeah... hey, hey, what do you care about so much? Eldest sister, didn't you come to see the seventh prince of Chu... Oh, is it from His Royal Highness Li Wang? There are so many women here every fifteenth day. Like."

"I don't know if the little prince will come..."

Qiao Ye immediately dodged and hid behind the huge incense burner, hiding herself.

How could it be so unlucky?Xiangxin didn't find it, but met the three sisters of the Ling family.It seemed that she couldn't take the main road leading to the main entrance, if they recognized her, it would be over.It just so happened that the water lily leaves that the old fox wanted hadn't been picked yet, so she backed away while looking ahead, and came to the Nirvana Pool.

The pool is very big, but there is only a snow-white lotus in the middle, does it symbolize the unique beauty?She walked around the pond for a long time, but didn't know how to get those leaves.First, the water is very deep, and second, there are too many people.

She was hesitating when the voices of the three sisters of the Ling family approached again: "Eldest sister, come and see, that water lily is still blooming!"

"This water lily seems to be blooming all year round, and I have never seen it fail. Eldest sister, do you remember? The fool fell from here last time. She is really easy to deceive, and she likes His Highness Li Wang so much." , You let her go up and she goes up! The result is too much force and she falls down by herself. It’s really interesting, haha.”

"Such a funny thing, of course I remember! However, no one rescued her at the time. I thought the fool was drowned. Who knew, her life was really serious."

"No, her life is really terrible. When I was a child, my father stuffed her into a wooden barrel, but he couldn't drown her. She has survived until now. It's nothing more than living. Last time, I treated my eldest sister..."

Qiao Ye didn't want to listen anymore, she covered her ears and left the crowd, where there were crowds and commotion, there were the three sisters, it was better for her to hide away.It turned out that her rebirth was all thanks to the three sisters and Chu Li. It wasn't the first time they played pranks, and it wasn't the first time Chu Li refused to save her. She should have gotten used to it.

With nothing to do, she staggered to the backyard.

It's strange, the front yard is very lively, but the back yard is so quiet, there is not even half a gatekeeper.In a small Buddhist hall, a statue of Avalokitesvara with benevolent eyebrows and benevolent eyes is enshrined in the shrine. Avalokitesvara saves all living beings and treats everyone equally.

Qiao Ye bowed devoutly to the Guanyin statue for a few times, but didn't want to touch the mechanism on the rosette. Suddenly, a secret door slowly opened behind the Guanyin statue.

Curiosity killed the cat, but at the beginning, no one knew what consequences curiosity would lead to, only seeing novelty and excitement.Qiao Ye looked inside the door curiously. It was so dark inside that she couldn't see any light.I couldn't help feeling a little scared, so I stepped back, picked up the oil lamp under the Guanyin seat, and walked in.

She has always been very courageous, but after entering, the eerie feeling still made her heart feel high.

After walking along the long corridor for a long time, there was not much oil left in the oil lamp, and the walls on both sides were empty, and there was no such thing as the organ treasure mentioned in the book.

At the end of the corridor, there was another secret door. Qiao Ye stretched out his hand and pushed it open. According to the echo of his footsteps, it was a very spacious space.The east, west, and south sides are all empty, and there seems to be something on the north wall, which is dark and cannot be seen clearly.

Qiao Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the oil lamp in front of her eyes, took a closer look, and immediately took a big step back in fear——

It turned out to be a coffin!
She wanted to leave, but her feet were immobilized and she couldn't move. There was a white cloth covering the coffin, which turned slightly, which added a bit of horror and spooky feeling.

Qiao Ye wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth and couldn't make a sound. Her heart was beating wildly. She regretted coming in.

After a long time, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and she finally saw clearly that the coffin was not covered with white cloth.It was a man, a man in a white shirt.

He put one hand on the coffin, as if embracing the dead.Her face was resting on her arms, buried deeply, she couldn't see clearly, her long black hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and the rest of her body was hidden in the darkness, motionless.

At first Qiao Ye thought he was dead, but when he got closer, he realized that he was still breathing, but seemed to be in pain, with slight panting.Perhaps seeing the light coming, he suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, and the purple light in his eyes flourished!

Qiao Ye backed away in fright, and fell to the cold floor.

It was Chu Li!
In this world, only he has such a beautiful pair of purple pupils!Mysterious and charming.

But why is he here?Five days ago, they had a good chat, discussing how to make money, how to decorate the garden of Prince Li's mansion, and he even quarreled with Chu Muda without haste, and he was so angry that he rushed out of the house. Why is he in such a mess now!
She got up, took a step forward cautiously, lowered her head and called him uncertainly: "His Royal Highness?"

He didn't agree, Zitong looked in her direction without blinking, his eyes were a little distracted, he didn't know whether he was looking at her or the small oil lamp in her hand.

He just looked at her so steadily, Qiao Ye became more and more uneasy, she took another step forward, but she didn't dare to touch the gloomy coffin, and asked softly: "Your Highness, you were caught here Is it? I... I'm going to report to the officials!" She could only think of this possibility, people in the royal family are always not at peace, and it's normal to be kidnapped.

She said she was leaving.

As fast as the wind, her wrist was tightly grasped by a force, and she could no longer move her body. She turned to look at him in doubt, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do they have any accomplices? They drugged you." ? Don't worry, I'll take you out now."

She wanted to help him up, but Chu Li still didn't move. His face was pale, as bloodless as if he had lost blood. In the dark world, she held the only light he could grasp in her hand. If she didn't let go, she wouldn't die. Will let go!

He gripped her wrist tighter and tighter, his lips curled up, and he smiled gently for the first time, his purple pupils reaching the bottom of his eyes with a warm heat.

Qiao Ye was stunned by his smile, her heart skipped a beat, she turned her head unnaturally, and raised the lamp to shine on the surrounding walls. There were several oil lamps on the wall. She wanted to lean over to light them, but her wrist was caught Clenched, she can't move.He could only hold the lamp and smiled awkwardly at Chu Li: "Your Highness, let's go out, this lamp is about to go out."

After I finished speaking, the oil in the oil lamp really bottomed out, and the originally weak light became weaker and weaker. Finally, the wick jumped a few times and went out completely.The secret room suddenly went dark.

Qiao Ye sighed in frustration, put the oil lamp aside, squatted down, and said, "Your Highness, I still know the way, let's go now." No need to face a coffin alone, Qiao Ye felt nothing to be afraid of up.

But Chu Li still didn't move, his big hands were coldly clutching her wrists with great force, Qiao Ye wanted to scream in pain, but soon, she found something wrong with him - his hands were trembling, at first it was slightly Yes, he was obviously trying to restrain himself, so his whole body was stiff, and it seemed that the further he went, the more uncontrollable he became. Qiao Ye patted his back in panic, only to find that his whole body was shaking.

"Your Highness, you... what's wrong with you?" Qiao Ye was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something, and covered the big cold hand he was holding on to her with the other hand: "Are you... afraid of the dark?"

Chu Li trembled violently, hesitantly let go of her big hand, slid on the ground, panting heavily against the coffin.

Qiao Ye suddenly felt like crying. In the dark secret room, there was a person who was afraid of the dark just like her when she was a child.Children are frightened by their parents that if they behave badly, ghosts will take advantage of the darkness to catch them.However, there is a class of children who are much more afraid of the dark than ordinary people. As long as there is no light, they will tremble and become weak.At that time, she always slept with the light on, and even if the power went out, she had to be in her father's arms to calm her fear.
