concubine auspicious

Chapter 24
When Mingzhu woke up, it was already the next day.

She opened her eyes sleepily, and the vermilion gauze was reflected in her eyes, which was crimson.Turning his head to look, he saw Xia'er lying on the edge of the bed, soundly asleep.And she is still in Yin'an Hall.I just felt like I had a dream, and when I woke up, nothing seemed to have changed.

But why is her chest so uncomfortable?Mingzhu got up half lying down.

When she moved, Xia'er was also woken up.

Just as Mingzhu was about to speak, Xia'er hugged Mingzhu and cried aggrievedly.She was very confused, and comforted her, "What's the matter? Good Xia, why are you crying?"

"Master, the lord has deposed you!" Xia'er choked up and said.

Mingzhu was stunned, "Abandoned?"

At this moment, those sporadic memories began to play back.Before fainting, Feng Zhanxiu's ruthless words echoed, making her whole body tremble and tremble.Mingzhu gently patted her back, and said softly, "If you are crippled, you will be punished. I never wanted to be his princess."

She just came here to flee from disaster, just to survive.

"How is this possible?" Xia'er cried with tears in her eyes, "Master, you are a princess of a country, a body of a thousand gold, and the emperor loves you so much, how can you suffer such grievances here!"

"There is a saying that the emperor is far away from the mountains." Mingzhu pulled up her sleeves and wiped away her tears.

"Master!" Xia Er burst into tears again, "What should I do in the future!"

Mingzhu stared at Xia'er's flushed little face, and suddenly made a decision, "Let's run away."

Fleeing back to the capital, she wants to ask for clarification!

※※※

Once you decide to escape, you must be familiar with the environment in the palace and the time when the guards patrol.According to Feng Zhanxiu's temperament, she was sure that he must be staring at her in the dark.So in order to make him let go of his guard, she decided to play the role of the abandoned princess during this period of time.

The Yin'an Temple is still the same Yin'an Temple, but the Pearl is no longer that Pearl.

The attitude of the entire palace towards her, the abandoned princess, can be said to be indifferent.In the past, the servants greeted her when they saw her, but now even if she stood in front of them, they would not say hello.The daily food was leftovers, and the maids who served her were all gone.

Up to now, only Xia Er is still by her side.

As for Feng Zhanxiu?She hadn't seen him for a long time.

"crunch-"

Xia'er pushed the door open and entered, there was no stove in the hall, it was so cold that people shivered.She rushed to Mingzhu excitedly with a bowl in her hand, and said happily, "Master! Are you hungry? This is freshly cooked rice!" As she spoke, she lifted the lid of the bowl and drooped her head.

"It's cool..."

Mingzhu held the bowl with her hands, feeling a little more moved, "It's good when it's cold, I like to eat it cold."

"You haven't eaten hot food for ten days." Xia'er said with a sob.

"It's okay, it's better than starving to death." Mingzhu picked up the chopsticks and happily took a few mouthfuls of rice.Her throat was a little congested, and she asked vaguely, "Xia'er, how did the wives settle down afterwards?"

"They were all sent out of the house, so they should be buried."

"Buried..."

In the afternoon without sunshine, the weather was gloomy and windy.

Mingzhu put on a black cloak and went towards the temple in the palace.Xia'er was holding the basket in her left hand, and there was nothing in the basket except a pot of tea.The originally stout snow wolf also became thin due to lack of nutrition, and it followed behind the two of them all the way.

From time to time on the way, servants passed by, but no one spoke to them.

Mingzhu is used to this kind of life, she is still happy and relaxed.Kneeling three times and buckling five times all day long, and saying "Wangfei is auspicious", I'm afraid she will lose her luck.

The two walked for a long time, but the temple was still far away.

Mingzhu stopped walking, frowned and asked, "Xia'er, are you sure you are going this way?"

"Master, I..." Xia'er was also a little dizzy, faltering and not knowing how to reply.

There are two forked roads ahead, and Mingzhu ponders which one to choose.

"The princess is auspicious." At this moment, a respectful male voice sounded from behind.

Mingzhu turned around suspiciously, but saw everyone standing one meter away.When I saw him, I thought of the cruel scene that day.With lingering fear in his heart, he looked around again, looking for the figure of another person, "It turns out to be the guards. I am no longer the princess, so I don't need to be called that."

"Princess is auspicious." Zhongli immediately changed his words and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what Zhongli can do for you."

Mingzhu smiled and said softly, "It's a coincidence that the guards came here. I wanted to go to the temple, but I lost my way. Please point me in the right direction."

"This is it!" Zhong Li pointed to the left.

Mingzhu thanked her, then turned and walked towards the left path.

Not long after, he finally came to the temple.

Ming Zhu asks Xia Er to stay outside the hall, while she takes the basket and enters the temple.Kneeling on the futon, she picked up the teapot and poured sixteen cups of tea, then kowtowed three times to the god on the throne.She clasped her hands, closed her eyes and prayed sincerely.

May the undead be gone, may they be buried in peace.

After half a stick of incense, the crowd hurried back to Fusheng Hall.

In the study, Feng Zhan Xiu was resting with his eyes closed.Eyelids moved slightly, and she asked, "Tell me, what did she do?"

"Returning to the prince, the princess has been very quiet these days, and she only goes out of the hall occasionally. Just now she went to the temple to burn incense, and then returned to the Yin'an hall." Everyone returned the report without daring to hide anything.

"Oh?" Feng Zhanxiu opened his eyes, his eyes sparked with interest, "Temple?"

"Exactly!" the crowd said.

Feng Zhanxiu played with the wine glass casually, and said again, "It seems that her life is too comfortable, give her some work, and leave it to Yun Ni."

"My lord, this..." Zhongli hesitated for a while.

Feng Zhanxiu drank the wine, gently squeezed his index finger and thumb, and the wine glass shattered, "Zhongli, you seem to care too much about her."

"This subordinate dare not, and this subordinate obeys orders." Zhong Li clasped his fists in response.

The sound of footsteps went away, Feng Zhanxiu picked up a letter and opened it boredly.Looking down, he murmured, "Dong Xiaotian, since you broke the contract first, then don't blame me for breaking my promise..."
