Chapter 7

The sky was gray, and a bolt of lightning struck from the top of the head, as if it was going to split the palace in half.It was raining dripping down the ground, and on the ancient stone paved road, the water flowed and made a rushing sound, which made people feel dizzy.

The entire Nanguo Imperial Palace seemed to be caught in the downpour, and the dark sky reflected an imperceptible gloom.

A colorful umbrella in the rain is like a hibiscus flower blooming in the mud, walking slowly from a winding path in the distance, the so-called lotus growing step by step is nothing more than that.

Holding an umbrella, Hua Rumo walked slowly into the plum garden. The filthy rain had already soaked her cloth shoes, and there was biting air in the cold wind.Under the eaves, she put away the umbrella, gently knocked off the raindrops floating on her body, and pushed hard with her delicate hands.

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she shouted softly. "I'm back."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, but the scene that caught her eyes frightened her.Qinglie's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Jingbai lying on the ground covered in blood in disbelief.The slender hand covered her lips involuntarily, the umbrella slipped down from her fingertips silently, rolled on the ground, and wet the originally clean floor.

"Grand...princess..." Jing Bai's face was as pale as paper, and when she saw Hua Rumo, she murmured hoarsely.Her white tunic was ruthlessly torn, and there were hideous bloodstains on her bare back, obviously she had been whipped.

Standing beside her were two burly men, each stepping on her slender shoulders, holding bloody whips in their hands. The moment they saw Hua Rumo, their eyes flashed more gloomy and cruel.

"Jing, Jingbai..." Hua Rumo staggered, hurriedly came to the girl who was sweating coldly, looked at her scars all over her body, her bare hands stopped in mid-air, and was at a loss.

She looked up blankly at the two burly men who were stepping on Jingbai's shoulders, and after taking a few breaths, she recovered her voice tremblingly. "You, who are you? What do you want to do..."

"Jingbai failed to take good care of the princess, so she should be sentenced to death. The queen thinks that she has done a good job in serving Concubine Mei, so she changed the death penalty to thirty lashes." A voice sounded behind him, sharp and slow, as if he was telling an extremely ordinary things.

Hua Rumo followed the sound and turned around, only to see a slender and thin figure sitting high on the only chair in the room, playing with a white jadeite jade bracelet in his hand - that is the one that Concubine Mei has never left. the only accessory.

An ominous premonition came over him.

Chief Eunuch Liu Sheng looked the girl in front of her up and down. Her ink-stained black hair was casually scattered, and a wooden hairpin was gathered in a simple bun. She was thin and thin, and the corners of her clothes were stained with muddy rain, showing a trace of distress.

The door was not closed, the cold wind blew past, the girl's body trembled slightly, it was unknown whether it was from the cold or from fright.

When seeing such a bloody scene, he didn't cry out of fright, but just bit his lip and stared at him with big watery eyes, he was calm enough and behaved decently.

Liu Sheng has been on duty in the palace for many years and has seen countless women. Hua Rumo, who is only 12 years old, can be regarded as outstanding in terms of intelligence.However, after thinking about it, it is not uncommon for a princess who has been living in the cold palace to mature prematurely.

He didn't want to waste time either, so he stood up, patted the dust off his body in a pretentious manner, straightened his collar, and slowly took out a long golden scroll from his sleeve, and unfolded the scroll with a majestic voice.

"Flowers are like ink to receive the order!"

Hua Rumo suppressed the panic in her heart, her sleeves were wrinkled.He knew in his heart that it was useless to cry and be afraid at this time, thinking that the Empress Empress had something to tell her to do, so she came up with such a trick to force her to submit.

Then, the mother and concubine should still be alive, even though Jingbai was injured, she would not die.

Realizing this, she relaxed slightly, bent her knees and knelt down slowly, with a docile look.

"The flowers are like ink."

"By God's blessing, the emperor said, Han Chuqiao is sensitive and virtuous, gentle and upright, gentle and thoughtful, with demure demeanor, and is bestowed the title of Princess Aoyue. Now marry me to the Seventh Prince of the Northern Kingdom, and leave tomorrow. Yours sincerely."

After Liu Sheng finished reading the imperial decree, he glanced at Hua Rumo, who was kneeling on the ground, and frowned. "What are you doing in a daze, don't hesitate to thank Lord Ron."

"Thank you, thank you Lord Long En..." After receiving the imperial decree, the long bright scroll dazzled her eyes instantly. It turned out that the queen planned to marry her to the northern kingdom as a princess.

"Princess Aoyue, please follow me to Fenghua Palace. The Queen and Concubine Mei are still waiting for you." Liu Sheng walked to the door, slowly held up an umbrella, glanced at the girl who was still kneeling on the ground, reminded. "The empress is in a bad mood recently, and she easily vents her anger on others. If she waits in a hurry, this Concubine Mei may..."

"Rumo, let's go." Hua Rumo quickly stood up and followed behind Liu Sheng. Just as she was about to step out of the door, she turned her head and looked at Jingbai who was lying in a pool of blood before she could say a word of pleading, when a voice came from outside the door. faint voice.

"Princess, please don't worry. We have already informed the imperial physician that Jingbai will not die from her injuries. She will leave for the North Kingdom with you tomorrow."

Jingbai on the ground had a pale face, raised his arms with difficulty, and stretched out his blood-colored little hands to Hua Rumo, and opened his mouth to say something to Hua Rumo, but only because this small movement affected the body's body. pain.She groaned, her eyes went dark, and she fell into a coma.

Follow her to the North Country tomorrow?

Hua Rumo suddenly calmed down, her eyebrows slightly frowned.Walk out the door and follow Liu Sheng slowly towards Fenghua Palace.
