concubine auspicious

Chapter 51
When Dong Xiaotian heard this, he was immediately at a loss.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed to the ground.

After a long time, Dong Xiao said in a deep voice, "The queen is frightened, rest for a while, and start again!"

"Yes!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The team paused for a rest, and Qiaoer anxiously looked for someone.But after searching all the people, they couldn't find her.Qiao'er sensed something was wrong, ran to Liu Shuiyao's side, and uneasily replied, "Empress, Zhu'er is missing!"

"What?" Liu Shuiyao was stunned.

※※※

There is no master in the capital palace, the eunuchs and maids are all trembling, but fortunately there is a virtuous father-in-law who presides over the overall situation, so there is no chaos.The imperial guards in the capital all followed the emperor and the empress to Daicheng, leaving only [-] elite soldiers to defend the capital, in order to conceal the suspicion of the spies secretly sent by the Zhanwang army.

The capital even closed the city gates, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave without authorization.

The Zhanwang army is recharging its energy in Liangcheng, Lincheng. No one knows when the Zhanwang will send his troops to attack.

After three days of peaceful days in a row, it was even more terrifying.

The calm before the dawn, the sign before the storm.

Whenever it was late at night, there would always be faint weeping in the palace.

"What should I do? Woohoo! I don't want to die, I still have an old mother at home." The maid sobbed and cried, heartbroken.

When another court lady heard this, she immediately thought of herself and started crying too, "Stop talking, my parents are still alive, and I have a younger brother."

"Don't cry." Someone quietly walked up to them, took out a towel and wiped their tears.

When the two court ladies saw the person coming, they immediately hugged her, "Sister Zhu'er! What should we do!"

Mingzhu hugged the two of them back, and comforted them softly, "Don't cry, it's not good to be seen by Eunuch De, and the situation may not be as bad as we imagined. I've inquired, and King Zhan didn't execute the people in the city, which means he With mercy, we should all be spared."

"Really?" There were tears in the eyes of the two maids, expectant.

Mingzhu nodded, "Okay, go and do your own business."

"En!" The maids wiped away their tears and retreated with support.

When the footsteps faded away, Mingzhu sighed silently.

What she inquired about was actually not the case, Feng Zhanxiu was withdrawn and unpredictable.If he is happy, then the people in the whole city will be safe and sound.If he is not happy, then blood will flow like a river, wantonly taking people's lives.It is said that during this battle, all the people in a city were killed.

Why did she feel such pain in her heart when she heard the news.

Mingzhu lowered her head and walked forward casually.Unknowingly, she came to a palace.Suddenly there was a gust of cold wind, and she couldn't help hugging herself.Looking up, he saw a cold palace in front of him.The cold atmosphere around makes people feel uncomfortable, this is obviously a cold palace.

Standing in front of this cold palace, a certain memory suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

I wanted to recall clearly, but found that my thoughts were in a mess.

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted, "Bold!"

Mingzhu suddenly regained her senses, she turned her head and saw the little eunuch holding a lantern to light the way, and Eunuch De was staring at her.Eunuch De also saw her at the same time, and was suspicious in his heart, isn't this the queen's personal maid?Why didn't you go with the empress?He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "I remember your name is Zhu'er!"

"Father-in-law, the maidservant's name is Zhu'er." Mingzhu lowered her head and said.

"The miscellaneous family still remember that you are the maidservant of the empress." Eunuch De didn't point out.

Mingzhu got an idea, immediately knelt down on the ground, and said with a choked voice, "Grandpa, please forgive me! The slave's mother is still in the capital, and the slave can't bear the mother to be alone, so the slave..."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch De sighed, "Get up."

"Thank you, Eunuch." Mingzhu got up slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Eunuch De looked at the palace in front of him, thought of something, trembled all over, and shouted sharply, "You are not allowed to stay here, go!"

"Yes!" Mingzhu replied, and hurried forward.

But she was even more curious, what kind of secrets does this palace hide?
Why does she seem to have been here?But when did she come here?
Another few days passed.

In the blink of an eye, March passed and April ushered in.

In the fourth month of the Xiao year, at the beginning of the fourth month, the army of the King of War attacked the capital.There was panic in the city, and howling rang through the sky.The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and there are continuous rumbling sounds in the ears.Only ten days away from the battle of Liangcheng, the Zhanwang army came to kill him again, like a wild beast released from a cage.

"It's not good! The Zhan Wang army has invaded the capital!" The eunuch cried and passed the news to the entire palace.

Mingzhu clenched her heart, Feng Zhanxiu, you finally came back.

Ducheng Avenue leads straight to the Imperial Palace.There were corpses everywhere in the city, and blood flowed all over the place.The people knelt down tremblingly and bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.Soldiers of the Zhanwang army blocked the entire street and wiped out the remaining enemy troops.The cold wind blew past, and the smell of blood in the air became more and more dignified.

Soldiers stood along the road from the gate of the capital, and at the end of the road, someone came galloping on horseback.

The people who come are the ones who leave.

"My lord! The imperial palace has been breached!" The crowd ran to the gate of the city, dismounted from their horses, and knelt down on the ground.

Yun Ni and the twelve cavalry hold the reins with one hand, and they are heroic and unrestrained.

On the black horse in the middle, Feng Zhanxiu frowned, his eyes were unusually bright.He looked up at the top of the capital city, and suddenly laughed out loud.The laughter resounded, making people's ears ring.He couldn't help but stop laughing, and shouted, "Okay! This king will go to the palace to meet the current emperor now!"

"Drive—" He waved his whip, and his tall and straight figure rushed into the capital like a flash of lightning, heading towards the palace.

Seeing this, the twelve cavalrymen followed suit one after another.

Zhong Li got on his horse immediately, and the horse's hooves kicked up dust.

A group of people rushed into the capital and rushed to the palace.

Nuo Da's palace has been completely occupied by Zhan Wang's army.Since Emperor Xiao and the Empress were nowhere to be found, the eunuchs, nuns, and female officials in charge of the various palaces had to be gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The leading eunuch is De Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the harem. De Gonggong served the first emperor, and now he serves Emperor Xiao.

The soldier chief scanned the crowd, came to Eunuch De, and asked in a deep voice, "Say! Where are the emperor and queen? Tell me!"

Eunuch De gave the soldier chief a haughty look, and silently responded.

His indifferent attitude angered the soldier officer, he drew his knife and put it on the neck of De Gonggong, and said fiercely, "Daxing is gone, and now it is the king of war. You old man dare to despise the prince! It is a crime!" Execute!" After the voice fell, the soldier raised his knife and slashed at him.

Eunuch De closed his eyes, with a look of death.

"Stop!" At this moment, a clear female voice sounded.

The soldier officer was startled for a moment, the sword was raised in the air but did not fall.He searched for his reputation, but saw a court lady wearing a palace uniform. He squinted his eyes and said, "How courageous! You are a mere court lady, and you even despise the prince! Put to death for the same crime! Come! Kill this court lady! !"

"Yes! Sir!" The soldiers on the side responded immediately, and rushed to the maid in a few strides.

Fearless of the threats from the soldiers' swords, Mingzhu calmly looked at the officer in front of her, and said softly, "This servant just wants to remind the officer that the person in front of you is not someone else. Friendship. If the Commander kills Eunuch De now, once the Prince asks about it, the Commander may also be blamed."

"This..." The soldier chief hesitated when he heard this.

"This king will kill if he likes it." A tall figure suddenly flashed outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and his indifferent voice had no warmth.

"My lord!" The soldiers in the hall knelt down and bowed to the ground in an instant.

Mingzhu's back stiffened, as if acupuncture points had been tapped all over her body, she couldn't move at all.Until the footsteps got closer and closer, so close that they were behind him.She turned her head suddenly, and the handsome face that captivated the world came into view, touching the heartstrings.His dark eyes were still deep, like two deep pools, bottomless.

Feng Zhanxiu...

These three words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't make a sound.

See you again, but I still can't tell you who I am.

Feng Zhanxiu glanced at her coldly, the cold air emanating from the surroundings was terrifying.He raised the corners of his lips in a cruel smile.

For a moment of trance, he strolled forward and passed her by.

Mingzhu looked at his back, getting further and further away from her, her eyes were sore.

"Long live my king, long live, long live!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Feng Zhanxiu walked up to the Golden Luan Hall step by step, facing the dragon chair, but did not sit down.He turned around slowly, facing everyone, arrogant and conceited.Eagle eyes glanced at Eunuch De, who lowered his head and mumbled, and then at the maid who spoke just now.With a mediocre appearance, she is an ordinary court lady, but she is somewhat calm and at ease between her eyebrows.There is only a pair of big eyes, but they are black and white.

"You are a court lady, you are bold. Do you want to die?" Feng Zhanxiu asked with a smile, his expression gloomy.

Just as Mingzhu was about to speak, Eunuch De stood in front of her and said in a deep voice, "My lord, if you want to kill me, kill the servant."

"Kill you?" Feng Zhanxiu chuckled, extremely playful, "I don't want to kill you, but I want to kill someone else."

Feng Zhan's eyes tightened, and he ordered, "Do it!"

"Yes!" The soldier took the order, and once again swung his big knife and slashed at Mingzhu.

Seeing this, Eunuch De bowed his knees and said hastily, "My lord, please spare me! My lord, please spare me!"

Feng Zhanxiu casually raised his hand, and the soldier immediately stopped his hand and retracted his knife.He looked down at Eunuch De condescendingly, and said quietly, "This king asks you, where is the emperor?"

"The slave doesn't know." Eunuch De gritted his teeth, but didn't speak.

Although he knew that he couldn't hide it for a long time, he couldn't say it.Counting the time, the emperor and empress are still on their way to Daicheng.He couldn't let Feng Zhanxiu chase him halfway and kill them all.The emperor is the only heir of the late emperor, and the last hope of Daxing.

Feng Zhanxiu seemed to have expected this, and was not angry. He just slightly raised his forehead and said lightly, "Okay! Eunuch De, you are loyal and protect the king, and this king will not force you! In this case, this king can only send people in the palace Kill him, and kill all the people in this capital."

"I don't care if the emperor is gone. The people in this city can't leave, right?" He smiled more and more charmingly.

Terrified by his bloodthirsty, Eunuch De raised his head to look at him, but saw that he was like Shura from hell, exuding a murderous aura all over his body.That peerless handsome face is like a demon or a fairy, but his expression is like a demon.This kind of Feng Zhanxiu made him think of a person, a terrifying person who terrified the world.

But... absolutely impossible, impossible.

Could it be him, could he be... No, how is this possible!

Eunuch De's thoughts were in a mess.

At this time, Zhongli, Yunni and the twelve cavalrymen rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony after hurriedly inspecting the palace.A group of people hurried into the hall and knelt down to the ground one after another.

Zhongli lowered his head and cupped his fists, and replied in a deep voice, "My lord, I didn't find it."

could not find it?Feng Zhanxiu lost his handsome face.His patience was exhausted, he sat on the dragon chair, and yelled majestically, "Kill! No one is allowed to stay! This king wants everyone in this palace and this capital to be buried with him!"

"Yes!" The soldiers roared like thunder.

Zhongli, Yun Ni and the Twelve Cavalry suddenly sank in their hearts, but they dared not speak out to persuade them.The master was not so bloodthirsty and ruthless before, but now he is killing and cruel like a tyrant.They have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are used to life and death.But this is not a battlefield, it would be too bloody to sacrifice the lives of the people in the city.

Master is really...

"Stop—" the clear female voice sounded again, and Mingzhu said softly, "My lord, please forgive me."

"Warlord, please forgive me—"

"My lord, my lord, please spare the servants, my lord!"

"The King of War is merciful, the King of War please be merciful!"

All of a sudden, begging for mercy was everywhere, and crying and howling circled the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Feng Zhanxiu was disturbed by the crying and had a headache and frowned. He glanced at the bold court lady, his eyes were icy cold, he didn't pay attention to her at all, and whispered three words, "Kill without pardon!"

"My lord!" Mingzhu knelt down on the ground and stared at him, "I just want to tell my lord that you have to forgive others and forgive others. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"

She had said that to him, the same words.If he still remembers, if he never forgets.

God, please save the people in the city.

The hall suddenly fell silent, only the sound of weeping could be heard faintly.

When Zhongli and the others heard this, they were all stunned.Who is this court lady?How dare you say such a thing?It seems that she must die!
Feng Zhanxiu was stunned, looking at the court lady of His Highness, he vaguely saw another face in a trance.She laughed at herself, and she spoke forcefully.Be forgiving and forgive others, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.Be forgiving and forgive others, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.He read this sentence silently.

The soldiers froze for a moment, hesitated to move forward, but saw that the King of War on the dragon chair was silent.

The soldier chief didn't know what to do, so he turned his head to look at General Zhongli.

Zhongli shook his head when he received the soldier's eyes calling for help.

After a long time, it was so long that even the sobbing stopped.

Mingzhu raised her heart and looked up at him expectantly.Did he remember?Is he remembering?Feng Zhanxiu, please remember, please remember me.Although, although I may not be worth mentioning in your life, please remember just a little bit.

"What's your name?" Feng Zhanxiu said abruptly after a while.

Mingzhu was sour for a while, her eyes were red.She was both lucky and sad, "My maidservant's name is Zhu'er."

Sure enough, you still remember.

"Zhu, Er." Feng Zhanxiu paused to read these two words, thoughtfully.Suddenly he asked again, "Is it the pearl of Ye Mingzhu?"

Mingzhu nodded, and replied obediently, "Yes! It's... Ye Mingzhu's pearl."

"Pearl of Ye Mingzhu. You got a good name." He murmured, his face that had been full of hostility just now gradually turned indifferent.Staring at her with sharp eyes, he said in a deep voice, "I'm tired, I want you to serve me to bed."

Mingzhu was stunned, and tightened her clothes.Just, go to bed?
Feng Zhanxiu got up and walked down the Golden Luan Hall.He walked straight towards her, stopped in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "If you still don't get up, I have no choice but to continue with what I just did."

Mingzhu's eyes widened and she immediately got up from the ground.

Feng Zhanxiu walked slowly towards the outside of the hall, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Looking at his tall back, Mingzhu was three parts relieved, three parts happy and three parts sad.She was relieved that he finally stopped killing and bantering.Happily, he still remembered clearly what she said.Sadly, she was unable to reveal her true identity.

Everyone was completely stunned and didn't respond.

No one expected that the bloody slaughter that was like a thunderbolt just now was resolved by the simple words of the little palace maid.Be forgiving and forgive others, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.Is this sentence so useful?No one knew why, but they breathed a sigh of relief.

Pearl, Ye Mingzhu, what a coincidence.

※※※

Mingzhu thought that Fengzhan Xiu would directly live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after all, it was the emperor's bedroom, but he came to Pingle Palace instead.In the past two years, Pingle Palace has long been a forbidden place, full of dust and silent.No one is allowed to enter this palace at will, this is the order of Emperor Xiao.

"My lord, do you want to live here?" Mingzhu looked at his figure, her vision blurred for a while.

Feng Zhanxiu went straight to the bedroom, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and said in a deep voice, "This king wants to live here."

"My servant will clean up now." Mingzhu said softly, and hurried forward.

"No need!" Feng Zhanxiu stopped her, and walked into the room slowly.He stopped, remained silent, his eyes swept around.The furnishings in the room remain the same as before, and have not changed at all.Except for more dust, nothing has changed except for one less person.

Mingzhu stood quietly behind him and couldn't help asking, "Is the prince missing the princess?"

He suddenly lowered his eyes, and said coldly, "I don't like talkative people."

"Slave to fetch water." Mingzhu said again, turned and left.

After a while, she returned to the bedroom with the basin in hand.As soon as he walked to the door of the room, he looked up and saw Feng Zhanxiu sitting on the bed, leaning against the bed post, closing his eyes, and fell asleep like this.And in his hand, he held the luminous pearl tightly.With a sore heart, she silently put down the basin.

It wasn't until he got close to her that he realized that he had an arrogant look on his face.

In his sleep, he was like a child.

Mingzhu wanted to reach out to touch his face, but her hand froze in mid-air, but she finally let it go.

That night, Feng Zhanxiu sat on the bed and slept all night.

Early in the morning, Zhongli and others came to Pingle Palace to wait.But Feng Zhanxiu did not wake up for a long time. This time, Feng Zhanxiu slept for a long time and slept very deeply.I'm afraid this is the most sound night of sleep during the two years of fighting.That's why he sleeps until now. It's a well-known fact that the master always sleeps less.

When Feng Zhanxiu woke up, it was already high in the sun.

He opened his eyes sleepily, and saw a vague and slender figure in front of him.How could those eyes be so familiar.He thought it was a dream, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and murmured, "Have you finally entrusted the dream to me? Why would you rather entrust the dream to others than to me. Tell me! Tell me! "

"My lord..." Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and called out softly.

When Feng Zhanxiu heard the shout, he came back to his senses.He closed his eyes, opened them again, and finally saw the person coming.He let go of his hand in an instant, and his expression turned cold.He stood up abruptly, and the quilt that was covering him fell to the ground.He lowered his head and glanced, then raised his head, and a porcelain cup was handed in front of him.

"My lord, please rinse your mouth."

Then, a warm face towel that was squeezed dry was handed in front of him.

"My lord, please wash your face."

Feng Zhanxiu silently rinsed his mouth and washed his face, she held the clean clothes that Yun Ni had just sent, "My lord, please change." He stretched out his hand, took off the clothes on his body, and took the clothes in her hands to put on himself.Mingzhu carefully smoothed his shoulders, walked up to him again, and fastened the buttons for him.

This simple action made Feng Zhanxiu slightly stunned.

Mingzhu withdrew her hand and took a step back, "Your servant is going to prepare meals."

"My lord!" The next second, everyone rushed into the hall and shouted in unison.

Feng Zhanxiu sat on the chair, glanced up at them, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Did you find it?"

"The subordinates didn't find it here." Zhong Li said.

Yun Ni said softly, "I've searched every corner of the palace. It's really not there. I also asked the eunuchs and maids, but they don't know anything about it."

"Isn't it in the palace? Keep looking for this king! In January, you all go to the Daxing Imperial Tomb now!" Feng Zhanxiu shouted, his sword eyebrows frowned, and his expression was very displeased.

"Yes!" The twelve cavalry immediately responded with cupped fists, turned and walked out of the hall.

Feng Zhanxiu yelled at Zhongli again, "Go after him right away, and you must catch up to Dong Xiaotian!"

"Everyone obeys!" He followed the order and left.

In an instant, Yun Ni was the only one left in the group. She looked at Feng Zhanxiu and asked, "My lord, haven't you eaten yet?"

At this time, Mingzhu walked into the hall with a tray.She walked up to Feng Zhanxiu and brought the tray in front of him.And there was only a bowl of clear porridge on the tray, nothing else.

She said softly, "My lord, please have a meal."

Yun Ni frowned displeasedly, and reprimanded, "Bold servant girl! Are you feeding the prince?"

"Yes!" Mingzhu bit her lip, "Porridge nourishes the stomach."

Feng Zhanxiu stretched out his hand, took the bowl on the tray, picked up the spoon, and drank the porridge slowly.He took a sip, then suddenly raised his head to look at her, staring at her and asked, "What's in the porridge?"

"Pepper." Mingzhu answered truthfully.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Feng Zhanxiu's eyes, he stared at the porridge in his hand for a long time, and continued to eat.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, he asked, "Is there any more?"

"Servant to serve." Mingzhu took the bowl and turned around happily.

Yun Ni glanced at the maid, her gaze was cold.

※※※

The King of War spared the eunuchs and maids of the palace, and also the people of the entire capital.The court lady Zhu'er spoke boldly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and saved everyone's lives.It is said that the situation at that time was very tense, and the people present seemed to have walked through the gate of hell, and they were falsely alarmed.

No, there have been many discussions in the palace.

"Thanks to Pearl, otherwise we would all be dead."

"Yes, fortunately, Sister Zhu'er begged for mercy, so we survived. The people in the whole city also survived. Everyone should thank Sister Zhu'er."

"I heard that the King of War has a volatile temper, and he might kill us tomorrow."

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense! Sister Zhu'er is serving the prince now, as long as the prince is happy, why would she kill us!"

"I hope so, the gods bless Amitabha."

Several eunuchs and maids gathered together were discussing in low voices, when someone saw Eunuch De approaching slowly, he immediately warned, "Eunuch De is here." But Eunuch De walked past them silently, ignoring them.When he walked further away, the eunuchs and maids were really confused.

What happened to Mr. De today?Didn't even give a lecture?

They looked at each other and quickly dispersed.

The Pingle Palace has been cleaned up, and now the King of War is staying.

After the meal, Feng Zhanxiu left the Pingle Palace and wandered around the palace.Yun Ni accompanied her, while Ming Zhu followed silently.Along the way, the eunuchs and maids in the palace saw him, knelt down tremblingly, and greeted him tremblingly, "Good luck to King Zhan."

Feng Zhanxiu unknowingly walked towards the back garden, where pear blossoms were in full bloom.He stopped, stood where he was, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you like pear blossoms?"

"The prince likes it, and the subordinates like it." Yun Ni blurted out without thinking.

This sentence is pertinent, but it also reveals a bit of emotion.

The relationship between women is always subtle and sensitive, and Mingzhu clearly perceives it.She lowered her head and realized that Yun Ni had such feelings for Feng Zhanxiu.

"Do you like it?" Feng Zhanxiu swept over Yun Ni, and looked at the bowed maid Zhu'er.

Yun Ni felt depressed, realizing her gaffe just now.

But Mingzhu came back to her senses, she raised her head to look at the sea of ​​pear blossoms, her gaze met his in the air, and she said softly, "My lord, my servants used to like pear blossoms, but now they don't."

"Why." He asked perplexedly.

"Because I found that I like plum blossoms more in my heart, plum blossoms that bloom against the cold wind." Mingzhu said with a smile.

Feng Zhanxiu remained silent for a while, then said quietly, "My king has granted you permission not to call yourself a slave."

The three of them walked slowly in the back garden, the pink petals of the pear blossoms were falling, which was even more gorgeous and beautiful.Feng Zhanxiu turned his head and looked around, as if he was looking for something.But he didn't find what he was looking for, his eagle eyes sank, he stared in a certain direction, and asked, "I remember that there is a swing here, where is this swing?"

Yun Ni glanced at the maid behind her, and said softly, "The prince asked a question, please answer quickly."

Mingzhu was taken aback, actually she didn't know why the swing was gone.

After much deliberation, there is only one possibility.

"The swing frame has been dismantled." Mingzhu replied with her head down.

"Removed." Feng Zhanxiu murmured, frowned, and shouted displeasedly, "Dong Xiaotian dismantled the swing frame? This king wants to put it back! Come on! Put the swing frame back immediately!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, several eunuchs and court ladies were busy putting back the swing frame.After a while, everyone knelt down and bowed to the ground. One of the eunuchs said tremblingly, "My lord, the swing frame has been installed."

Feng Zhanxiu responded coldly, and gloomily spit out this sentence, "All to this king!"

"Slave (servant) obey!" The eunuchs and maids were trembling with fright, stood up tremblingly and retreated quickly.

Feng Zhanxiu stood in front of this swing, and a certain figure vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.He stared at the swing, and said to the people behind him, "Yun Ni, you also step back."

"Yes! My lord!" Yun Ni hesitated for a while, bowing.She took a few steps back again, and when she turned around, she met the court lady Zhu'er, her gaze became colder, she withdrew her gaze and left in silence.

Mingzhu's heart sank, and she sighed silently.

"Can you tell jokes? I want to hear jokes." Feng Zhanxiu asked suddenly, his male voice was a bit lonely.

Mingzhu was silent for a while, so she had to lie, "I...I won't."

"No." Feng Zhanxiu didn't blame him, but just reached out to touch the rope leading to the swing.He firmly grasped the rope, chuckled and said, "Yeah, even if he could, he wouldn't tell such a joke."

In this world, no one, no one will tell such jokes anymore.

When Mingzhu heard him say that, her eyes were sore, "My lord, although I can't tell jokes, I can tell riddles."

"Riddle?" Feng Zhanxiu Mode turned around and looked at her with deep eyes.A little melancholy appeared in Junrong, he raised the corners of his lips, and said quietly, "I have a few riddles, I told you, and let you guess. If you guess right, I will reward you. If you guess wrong It's..."

He deliberately paused his voice, and then said, "Then the king will start killing."

Mingzhu looked at him helplessly, moved her lips, and said awkwardly, "My lord, do you really like killing people so much?"

"I don't like it or not."

"Then why does the prince kill people at every turn?" Mingzhu asked in confusion.

He used human lives as conditions and as chips to play games.If you can't guess the riddle correctly, you will kill him?what is this?
Feng Zhanxiu, however, avoided answering, staring and said, "The first riddle..."

In the middle of what he said, Mingzhu knelt down and bowed to the ground, she raised her head to meet him, "My lord, I can't figure it out. Please kill me, my lord."

"This king hasn't said anything yet, how do you know you can't guess it?" His voice was neither salty nor weak, obviously lacking in interest.

Mingzhu bit her lip tightly and whispered, "Because I'm stupid."

"It's really boring." Feng Zhanxiu glanced at her with some disappointment, and walked past her indifferently. A male voice floated from the air, "Kneeling. Don't get up without my king's order."

Without looking back, he walked out of the imperial garden.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Mingzhu looked up at the sky and couldn't help but curse: Feng Zhanxiu, you madman.

※※※

"Ah? What?" All the eunuchs and maids in the palace stared wide-eyed in a daze.

Did you make a mistake?The King of War actually issued an order, if they can't solve the riddle, then they will all die today?It has long been heard that Zhan Wang is moody, and he will turn his face when he says he will turn his back. He didn't expect that they escaped a catastrophe just yesterday, and they will not escape this catastrophe today.This is clearly making things difficult on purpose, and they must die!

"What to do! Everyone, think of a way!"

"What else can I think of! Everyone, quickly guess these two riddles! If you guess correctly, then we still have a chance!"

"What kind of riddle is it?"

The older eunuch said with a sad face, "There are two riddles in total. The first riddle is how many steps it takes to put an elephant in the refrigerator! The King of War said that you must answer the first riddle before you can know the second riddle." What are the two riddles?"

"Elephant? Put it in the refrigerator? What is the refrigerator?" The little eunuch asked, frowning, puzzled.

Everyone shook their heads one after another, and their expressions were even more sad, because no one knew what a refrigerator was.The King of War has limited the time, and when the sun goes down, they will die.The round-faced little maid stomped her feet anxiously and shouted, "Where's Sister Zhu'er? Ask Sister Zhu'er!"

"Don't mention it, Zhu'er was punished by the war king to kneel in the imperial garden!"

The little maid grabbed her handkerchief tightly, turned her head and ran towards the imperial garden.

In the imperial garden, there was a slender figure kneeling in front of the swing.The sun was gradually setting, and the rays of the setting sun stretched her shadow obliquely.Mingzhu felt a little dizzy when she knelt down, and she was even thirsty, she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Sister Zhu'er!" The little maid ran all the way over and shouted loudly.

Mingzhu looked back at her, and found that she didn't even have the strength to laugh, so she said weakly, "Magpie, why are you here?"

"Sister Zhu'er, it's not good. The King of War came up with a riddle, and we insisted on guessing it. If we can't figure it out before the sun sets, we will die." Magpie whimpered and was about to cry.

Mingzhu was a little speechless, and asked, "Don't cry, tell me first, what is the riddle?"

"It is said that there are two riddles in total, and you have to answer the first one to know what the second one is." Magpie blushed, "The first riddle is to put the elephant in the refrigerator." It takes a few steps!"

Mingzhu's mind went blank, feeling like something exploded.Her eyes widened, and there were mixed feelings in her heart, sour, sweet, spicy, and bitter, all rushing towards her, making her unable to breathe.It turned out that the riddles he said were the two she had said.

"Sister Zhu'er? Sister Zhu'er? Don't scare me!" Seeing her panicked expression, Magpie hurriedly tugged on her sleeve and shouted worriedly.

Mingzhu stared at the magpie and said softly, "I know the answer!"

At this time, the setting sun was submerged on the top of the mountain, and the last ray of sunlight also faintly dissipated.

The magpie learned the answer to the riddle from her mouth, and was puzzled, so she asked softly, "Sister Zhu'er, the King of War hasn't said the second riddle yet, how come you even know the answer to the second riddle?"

"Don't ask so many questions, go quickly, there is no time left! Remember what I told you!" Mingzhu turned her head and glanced at Ritou, and shouted sharply.

"I know, I know!" The magpie stood up abruptly after being shouted at by her, and ran out of the imperial garden with big strides.

The brilliant afterglow of the setting sun remains in the world.

The sunset is like a woven brocade, covering the sky with gorgeous clothes.The light fades little by little, and the darkness appears little by little.Day and night are a natural alternation, and the last ray of light falls into her eyes, blooming like amber.

Mingzhu suddenly laughed, laughing so sadly, laughing so sadly.

She laughed at herself, and even more at Feng Zhanxiu.

Why do they act like fools, so ridiculous.Fate is like a puppet that is arranged, it can't always go according to what you want, and you always have to make mistakes.She just wanted to stay by his side, how could it be so difficult.He gave a chance, but who gave her a chance again?

If she can no longer appear in front of him with her own appearance, and she can't tell him who she is, then what should she do?It is still possible to leave this body at any time and return to your own world. Maybe, you will never see you again in the next second.

Feng Zhanxiu, you tell me.

Pingle Palace

Feng Zhanxiu sat leisurely in the study, but there was a copy of "Nv Jing" on the table in front of him.

"My lord." Yun Ni slowly walked into the study with a tray in her hand.She put the teacup in front of him and put it down, glanced at the books on the desk without any trace, and then stepped back again.She has followed the prince for so many years, and has never seen him read "Nv Jing".On second thought, there was only one possibility.

For her?

Feng Zhanxiu reached out to open the "Nv Jing", glanced at a line of words, and said in a deep voice, "The sun has set."

"My lord, it's already gone." Yun Ni replied softly.

He nodded his forehead and said coldly, "Do you know what to do?"

"Subordinate... please forgive me, my lord!" Yun Ni hesitated and couldn't help but say.How could she not know?The prince posed two riddles, if he can guess it, he will spare the eunuchs and maids in the palace, if he cannot guess it, he will be shot to death.She didn't understand, maybe, she never understood.

Feng Zhanxiu didn't raise his head, but raised the corners of his lips, "What? Even your heart is softening now? When did the problem of overflowing sympathy from Zhongli get on you?"

Yun Ni immediately bowed to the ground, "My lord!"

At this time, a guard bowed his head and rushed in from outside the study, "My lord, a little maid said that she has already guessed the answer to the riddle."

Feng Zhanxiu gave a suspicious "Oh" and spit out a word, "Xuan!"

"Yes!" The guard stood up and exited the study.

Then the little palace lady walked in timidly, the magpie didn't dare to raise her head, and didn't even dare to take a breath.The anger in this study was too terrifying, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.She was deeply afraid of offending the King of War, so she repeatedly kowtowed and begged, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

"You guessed the answer to this king's riddle?" Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eagle eyes and asked sharply.

The magpie knocked its head on the ground and said tremblingly, "Yes! The answer to the first riddle is to open the refrigerator door first, then put the elephant in. Finally, close the refrigerator door. The answer to the second riddle is , the elephant didn't come because it was locked in the freezer!"

Yun Ni glanced at the little maid, and then at Feng Zhanxiu who was sitting on the chair.

Feng Zhanxiu lowered his eyes, stood up against the table, and roared in a low voice, "Bold! This king hasn't given the second answer yet, how did you know it!"

"My lord, calm down! This is because..." Magpie was so frightened that he started to cry, and answered with a sob while crying, "Because this servant served the princess before, and the princess also asked this servant to guess these two riddles. So this servant wrote it down."

Yun Ni was stunned, she never thought that even these two riddles were for the woman who would never appear in front of him.

"Then why didn't you come just now, why did you come now? Tell me! Did someone tell you that!" He reprimanded loudly with some disbelief.Those eyes flickered brightly, as if they were expecting something.

The magpie finally burst into tears, "Slaves are timid! My lord, please calm down!"

There was a sudden silence in the study, only the suppressed crying sound hovering.

Feng Zhanxiu stared at the weeping maid for a long time without saying a word, then he strode up, his slender figure flashed out of the study room like a gust of wind passing by.

The court lady Magpie collapsed to the ground.

Yun Ni looked at the direction where he disappeared, feeling sad for him.

She used to think that the prince didn't like the princess.Later, she thought the prince just liked him a little.Now that I think about it, maybe she was wrong.

But people are already dead, so why bother.

Nuo Da's imperial palace is full of desolation and loneliness.Someone rushed towards the swing like crazy and roared angrily.

In the dark night, Mingzhu saw his maddened and evil handsome face through the moonlight.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the air, it seemed that he drank a lot.

Feng Zhanxiu suddenly turned around and stared at her, and said hoarsely, "This king told you, you can forget yourself only after you kill a lot."

Only then can I forget everything, forget the scene of random arrows piercing the heart, and also forget the wailing sound of people being burned.

Including forgetting - her.
