Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 85
Chapter 8 Under Siege
Su Mi approached the gate of the palace with the food and wine, and there was a clear slap in the face from the palace, followed by a reprimand, "Could it be that you think this is Da Qi's harem, so you can put on airs like this empress?!"

Su Mi looked up and saw that it was Concubine Li Xian. The general of the Liao Army beside her ordered her to feed her wine with her mouth. How could Concubine Li Xian obey, it was inevitable to be beaten and scolded again.

Concubine Li Xian begged bitterly and avoided, the traces of her five fingers were clearly visible on her fair face, and the traces of tears were like tears.

After putting down the food and drink, Su Mi quickly walked out of the palace gate together with Xiao Luzi, turning a blind eye to everything in the palace, she knew that she could not save anyone.

Shi Rouer's silver bell-like laughter came from inside the palace, charming and alluring.

Xiao Luzi spat in a low voice, "This kind of woman, fortunately, she is still a concubine conferred by the Holy Majesty, and the Emperor himself once praised her as 'clear as jade, as beautiful as Lingbo'."

Su Mi smiled lightly.She doesn't dislike Shi Rou'er, she just chose another path. In this chaotic world full of swords, for women, chastity and life often cannot coexist.Everyone will have different choices. The queen chooses to commit suicide for her own dignity, for the glory of her husband and the country. Of course she admires it, but there is nothing wrong with Shi Rouer's choice to struggle to survive.

The smell of wine is long, and the hall is still full of singing and dancing. The summoned court singing and dancing girls waved their sleeves lightly and stretched their slender waists.At first glance, everything in Daqi's Fengyi Hall is still as gorgeous and prosperous as before, but the hosts of the banquet have changed, and replaced it with a more noisy group.

Su Mi and Xiao Luzi were carrying new fine wines to the hall, at the same time, a soldier holding the official document aloft passed through the layers of red formations, stepped on the heavy rouge fragrance, and rushed to the head of the coach Yelvxin. Before the table.

The singing and dancing in the main hall was still the same, and Yelvxin opened the official documents amidst the singing and dancing that filled the sky.

Su Mi was standing behind him at this moment, pouring the fine wine that had just been delivered into a cup.

Yeluxin read the official document casually, but his eyes turned to the embarrassing concubines in the hall with a hint of playfulness.

"Which one is Concubine Lian?" He turned his head to look at Shi Rou'er, and asked with a chuckle.

Su Mi didn't waver at all upon hearing this name, and poured the fine wine into the cup continuously.The face of Xiao Luzi on the opposite side changed slightly, his hands couldn't help shaking, and there was a crisp sound of cups colliding.

Shi Rou'er raised her head and glanced at him lightly, then looked at Yelvxin calmly, and said with a sweet smile, "Is your majesty asking about the number one beauty in the old Qi harem, Empress Lianfei?"

"The number one beauty?" Yelvxin's eyes lit up with interest, he stretched out his hand to lift Shi Rou'er's chin, and asked with a teasing smile, "Could it be that in this harem there is a beauty more charming than mine? "

"Your Majesty praises Rou'er too much." Shi Rou'er smiled sweetly, and broke free from Yeluxin's shackles with a slight sway: "Compared to the vulgar fans in the world, Rou'er is fair in self-confidence and good looks, but compared to this beloved For the concubine lotus in the crown harem, that would be..." Shi Rou'er covered her mouth with a smile: "I really can't make it to the stage."

Yeluxin's eyes sparkled, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't believe there is such a beauty in this world."

"How dare Rou'er lie in front of the king. If you don't believe me, the king can ask the sisters in the palace. This Concubine Lian is the favorite of the sixth palace in the palace. Ever since she entered the palace as a concubine, Emperor Qi has never I have never doted on any of the sisters in the palace. Even after Rou'er entered the palace, it was only a one-night doting, and Emperor Qi abandoned me like a shoe. Compared with the two, the king can't imagine that this Lian How does the concubine look like?"

The generals in the palace had already heard the conversation between the two, Shi Rou'er spoke softly, describing the legendary Concubine Lian as unparalleled in the world, and everyone couldn't help asking about the concubine next to her.

Where can the concubines refute, they inevitably agree casually.All of a sudden, the hall was full of praises, only Su Mi was praised as being unparalleled in the sky and hard to find underground.

After Su Mi finished pouring the wine, she quietly stood behind Ye Luxin and Shi Rouer, listening to the endless praise and exaggeration from the concubines in the palace, she didn't know whether it should be funny or sad.

Yeluxin's interest doubled when he heard the concubine's unanimous remarks.Quickly asked: "Where is this Concubine Lian now? Didn't she die when the city was broken?" He naturally saw that there was no Concubine Lian among the concubines in the palace.

After the Liao army entered the palace, more than a dozen concubines died in the palace. Some died like the queen to protect their innocence, and some died accidentally like the concubine Wen.

"As far as my concubine knows, Concubine Lian is not dead." Shi Rou'er said with a slight smile. She had read the statistics of concubines from the Liao people. The harem concubines were all questioned and counted in detail.None of them had Su Mi's name.

The Liao people came so fast, in the far-reaching harem, and the four doors were closed by the troublesome queen, it was impossible for anyone to escape in time.She must still be in this court, and she neither died nor fell into the hands of the Liao people.

Shi Rou'er only felt that there was a small bug gnawing at her heart.Why? !Why is she so lucky? Where is she hiding?Pretending to be a eunuch or a court lady?Or is it hidden in a secret dark room?
She should also have the same fate as them.Shi Rou'er glanced at the obsequious concubines in the arms of the Liao people in front of her, a jealousy and hatred in her heart wanted to drive her into madness.

Su Mi who was standing behind her smiled bitterly, of course she knew Shi Rouer's purpose of praising her beauty to Yelvxin.When people are in a miserable situation, they often hope that others will be as miserable as themselves.What's more, I really have enmity and resentment with her.Fearing that she would fall into the hands of the Liao people, she felt very sad.However, ants are still greedy for life, who wants to face death in such a beautiful and beautiful age.Since I don't have the courage to die calmly, trying so hard to force myself to accept it happily is also a way to survive.Or it could be regarded as Qi Taki's revenge against Da Qi's harem, a kind of irony.

But why did Yelvxin suddenly mention himself?Su Mi's eyes fell on the official document in his hand.What did this newly delivered letter say?
"Then where did Concubine Lian go? Could it be that she is still hiding in the palace?" Seeing that all the concubines were speechless, Yelvxin asked again and again.

"It's hard to say," Shi Rou'er said with a smile: "The concubine has no friendship with her. I only know that Concubine Lian is not dead. Speaking of which, since the king entered the palace, he has never seen Concubine Lian? Originally The concubines thought that they would be honored to serve the King together with Concubine Lian?"

Yelvxin's eyes flickered, they entered the palace quickly, and few concubines and maids in the Daqi harem escaped.He didn't believe that a delicate concubine could escape from under his nose. In this way, she could only hide in this deep palace.Great Qi has been established for a hundred years, the various palaces in the palace have been expanded and renovated many times, the pavilions are stretched, the pavilions are complicated, and the Liao army entered the palace for a short time. If it is hidden well, it will be really hard to detect for a while.

Hearing the praises from the concubines, he became more and more excited, and immediately raised his head and called out to his followers, ordering a detailed search of the palace to find the legendary Concubine Lian.

Shi Rou'er looked at Yelu's confident and itchy expression, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, don't worry, is there any place in the palace that is not under the Majesty's majesty? As long as you search slowly, you will definitely find a beautiful woman. Besides, my minister Does this concubine know a shortcut? I'm afraid I can find Concubine Lian's hiding place without bothering with the labor generals." While speaking, his unpredictable eyes turned to Xiao Luzi.

Su Mi cried out inwardly.

"Oh, what's Rou'er's plan? Hurry up and listen. If it works, I will reward you a lot." Yelvxin asked immediately.

Shi Rou'er smiled coldly, and said slowly: "No matter how strong Concubine Lian is, she is just a weak woman. How can she live in hiding by herself? Someone must have conspired with her to hide for so long. So The concubine thought that as long as she tortured the confidantes around Concubine Lian, she would be able to find out her whereabouts."
"It makes sense." Yeluxin laughed and said, "I will order people to find all the palace servants around Concubine Lian, and torture them one by one. I don't worry that I won't be able to find out the truth."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to make any effort. The so-called is far away in the sky, but close in front of you." Shi Rou'er tilted her head and said with a naive smile: "The little eunuch in front of me used to be the close confidant of Concubine Lian. Does the master's whereabouts matter?" Do you know why?"

Xiao Luzi's face changed, and the jug in his hand fell to the ground, with a "clang" sound, and the wine splashed everywhere.
