Empress True Colors

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Yu Guangting ran towards him surrounded by guards, looked around through the bamboo forest, and asked loudly, "Did you get it?"

In the bamboo grove, the girl who had previously delivered medicine to Yu Guangting raised her head, picked up the unconscious Jing Hengbo, and said lightly, "It's done."

Yu Guangting clapped his palms and said joyfully, "Sir, you made a move, it really is a worthy example!"

The girl ignored her and walked out with Jing Hengbo on her back, leaving a line of sharp footprints on the wet ground in the bamboo forest.

After getting out of the bamboo forest, Yu Guangting ordered the guards to come to pick up Jing Hengbo, and said: "Take strict guards. Also, find out who is outside the wall just now."

The guard stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the girl stepped back and gave him a cold look, which made the guard startled, his hands froze in mid-air.

Yu Guangting was also taken aback.

"Master said, I'll watch, don't worry." The girl replied concisely, without looking at the guards. Although she didn't say anything, it meant "you are full of trash over there, people will definitely not be able to see it".

The guards were a little anxious, with embarrassing expressions, but they had nothing to say. After all, they chased him for a long time and found nothing.

Yu Guangting didn't think it was a pest, and said with a smile: "Sir, he is willing to take care of it himself. Naturally, it's the best. I'm in trouble."

The girl hummed indifferently, and continued to move forward with the person on her shoulders. Yu Guangting stepped aside with a smile, and when she walked over, he winked at a staff member beside him, who bowed and nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl carried Jing Hengbo on her back and walked straight into a courtyard prepared by Yelu's house for Yu Guangting. There was a courtyard in the courtyard, and a small courtyard to the west was where she and the "Yu Guangting" who was recently respected by Yu Guangting lived. The place where Mr. Yu lived, the people sent by Yu Guangting watched her carry Jing Hengbo into the small courtyard with their own eyes, and then ordered the guards to guard the surroundings strictly to prevent anyone from escaping, and then returned to report to Yu Guangting.

When Yu Guangting heard about it, he felt relieved and urgently ordered to track down the person who took the bones. But at this time, he didn't have much thought to take care of Jing Hengbo's affairs—the news of the kidnapping of the Linzhou children had already spread, and it was only the Linzhou children, and what's worse was that there were two children of most officials and eunuchs among them, both of whom were young. It was the son of his capable men, and he came with his third son, Yu Yuanshu. Now his two capable men have heard the news of his son's captivity, and they have come all the way from Dadu.

What Yu Guangting was puzzled was that the Wind Squad of elite soldiers of Yu State he arranged had ambushed in the valley not far from the Emperor Ge **** army last night. If they made a move, how could the disciples of Linzhou and Dadu be captured? And how come there is no news about the Wind Team until now?

Yelude is arranging for the children in the family to seal off the secret courtyard again, Yu Guangting watched the big brass lock click and hang on the lock, thinking about what happened in the past few days, a shadow passed in his heart, slightly frowned.

Suddenly there was a rattling sound beside him, he turned around, saw the man in white sitting in an exquisite wheelchair, and said happily, "Why did you come out, sir?"

The person in the wheelchair was so white that it was almost transparent under the sunlight. He seemed to dislike the glare of the sun, and raised his hand slightly. Yu Guangting only felt that his eyes had been stabbed, like a thousand feet of snow, suddenly rushing into his eyes.

Yu Guangting felt that every time he saw those bamboo-like fingers and snow shell-like nails, he would feel awe-inspiring. As the most honorable regent of the Yu Kingdom, this feeling came from nowhere and could not be stopped. .

"Your Highness seems to be worried." The man in white replied, his eyes resting on a wisp of flying clouds in the sky.

Yu Guangting sighed, "Last night, the Wind Squad seemed to fail to make a successful move, and then the Linzhou disciples disappeared. This king did not expect that a mere team escorting exiles would actually be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, until they saw Her Majesty the Queen appear. It suddenly dawned on me. It’s just that it’s easy to ask God to send God away, so how should the queen deal with it?”

The man in white turned his eyes, and the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling and cold, "If the Wind Team fails, then Dige's **** team will definitely be more than those two thousand people. Army. Your Highness, you must prepare for battle."

Yu Guangting's expression froze, he understood what the gentleman meant.

Her Majesty the Queen must still have an ambush army in order to solve the Wind Team and take the wealthy children of Linzhou as hostages, and that style is very ruffian-you grab one of me, and I will detain you, very similar to Pei Shu style.

Thinking of Pei Shu, his heart tightened. Young Marshal Pei, who acts fiercely and wildly, is known to everyone in the wilderness, and he is an absolutely difficult person.

If it was really Pei Shu who made the move, it was rumored that the young marshal cared about the queen very much. Once he knew that he had captured the queen, he would definitely not die. But Yu State is not stable at this time, he is not in Dadu, if he is entangled by this killing god, he will lose the protection of the Wind Team...

Yu Guangting squeezed the center of his brows with a bit of a headache, and murderous intent surged in his heart for a moment—he had wanted to kill the queen quietly before, block the news, and let her disappear from now on, but the queen threw the bones to someone else, so that It may lead to his secret being discovered. In order to exchange for others to keep the secret secret in the future, he temporarily decided to keep the Queen, but at this time he felt that he had left a charcoal.

He cast his eyes for help to the person in the wheelchair, and that person smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

"It is clear that victory is approaching, why is Your Highness so worried?"

"Why?" Yu Guangting's eyes lit up.

"Since the Queen is Pei Shu's Achilles' heel, it will naturally lead to disasters and can also solve them. As long as the Queen is in hand, Pei Shu's army will belong to His Highness. You can fight, you can pretend to fight, and you can even pretend to be defeated. Your Highness is not always Do you want to know how those princes plan to act on the throne? The weather is calm, so naturally there will be no dragons, but now, isn't it the best time?"

Yu Guangting's expression was startled, he pondered for a while, and bowed his body, "Mr. De is like a master, Mr. Xie will teach me!"

At this moment, there seemed to be countless schemes in his chest, and every scheme was to instigate the situation in Yu State. The princes who occupied the power of the country had always been his thorn in the heart, but it was because of the unknown, knowing that the other party was about to make a move, but he had no chance to pull it out. Now that the Dige Henghalberd Army is entering the country, and the Queen is quietly entering the country, taking this opportunity to reach an agreement with Pei Shu, maybe they can lead the snake out of the hole, and if the timing is right, they can catch them all...

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyebrows became. The idea of ​​killing the Queen just now had disappeared. Instead, he thought that before Pei Shu arrived, he must not let the Queen suffer. There is a loss."

Eager in his heart, he leaned closer to the wheelchair, felt the wheelchair move back silently, and hurriedly stopped in embarrassment. His eyes fell on the opponent's finger, and the slight lift of that snow-colored finger made him feel shocked for some reason.

For this young man in front of him, he has always had a strange feeling in his heart. He only feels that the other party is noble and indifferent. It is rare to be able to win his blue eyes, but in front of this man, any arrogance, domineering, dignified and dignified, just like sunlight meeting ice and snow, they will naturally disappear without a trace.

At this moment, when he heard the other party, he said plainly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to my trust."

…

The sound of water gurgling, Linlang knocking on tiles, flowing water dripping down along the black eaves...

Jing Hengbo was woken up by a burst of fullness to urinate, or a "urinating" song.

He opened his eyes, and before he could see the scenery clearly, he heard an intermittent sound of the piano. The sound quality of the piano was very good, but the playing was not good. The sound of the piano was intermittent, ding ding dong dong. On her little belly, she felt more bloated because of it.

The dizziness persisted in his head, and he looked at the surrounding decorations, it seemed that he was still in the Yelu Manor, an ordinary guest room, no one was around, and the lights were not lit, the window papers penetrated the hazy sky, it seemed that it was already dusk.

She moved her hands and feet, there was no chain, but a layer of light yellow tendons, which were loosely bound. The thing seemed to be very elastic. She got out of the bed tentatively, took a small step and staggered—this thing can Give her a small range of freedom of movement, but running away is out of the question.

It was the same with her hands. She thought about it, touched her body, and sure enough, the dagger and other weapons had been taken away, but... She lowered her head and smiled, biting the necklace on her chest.

The chain is a section of snow-white ice iron chain, hanging a willow-leaf-shaped pendant. She took off the pendant, inserted her nails into the gap in the pendant, pressed it, and with a "click", the snow-white extremely thin willow-leaf-shaped blade popped out. She continued to press, and three pieces of thin steel popped out of the not-so-thick pendant. Connecting these three pieces of steel together, it became an extremely thin knife.

She moves without a trace, no one can keep up with her pace, often alone, so Pei Shu asked the technicians of Tianhui Valley of the Gold Department to use several rare and rare products unique to Tianhui Valley materials, and made some secret weapons for her.

She used the knife to cut the rope with confidence, thinking that it would be broken as soon as she cut it, but who knew that the thing was slippery, the blade slipped out after cutting it, and almost punctured her ankle.

Tried several times without success, it seems that this is also a special material, she put away the knife discouragedly, listening to the sound of the piano outside is still going on, the sound of ding ding dong dong made her feel more urgent to urinate, she kicked She thought someone would come in to check on the stool immediately, but no one paid attention to it, and the sound of the piano didn't stop, and it was even more intermittent than before. She listened, gritted her teeth, covered her stomach, and yelled: " Which cat or dog's magic sound penetrates the brain!"

"Ga—" the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if the strings were broken.

She also giggled twice, sat down on the bed, and waited for someone to rush in and curse, then she could ask for relief.

Who knew that the surroundings were still so quiet, as if no one was interested in her, the sound of the piano just stopped for a while, and then started again. The other party seemed to be very unskilled in the music, or the gestures were extremely clumsy, and a piece of music was played hoarsely and intermittently. Qi, the queen wanted to die when she heard it.

A good song can make people calm down, but a bad song can only make people want to kill. Jing Hengbo was furious, and after enduring for a quarter of an hour, he finally broke out under the double pressure of the ecstasy sound and the bulging stomach, "I want to relieve— "

This time there was finally movement.

"Crack." The window sash opened, and a jar was thrown in, and it was thrown accurately on the bed.

Jing Hengbo stared blankly at the jar, but before he could react for a while, he looked up, and a pair of dark eyes by the window sash looked at her coldly, pointed to the jar, and snapped the window sash shut again.

The exposed half of the face is extremely young, it looks like it is only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Jing Hengbo touched his nose, what do you mean, telling him to use a jar to solve it here? Is this how captives are treated? Shouldn't the guard be nervous? Or when you wake up, you will see the torture frame and whip, the gloomy prison cell, it's right...

The sound of the piano continued, pattering and urinating even more, she couldn't take it anymore.

She looked around mysteriously, making sure that there was no one in the house, and the sound of the piano was still far away, so it was impossible for someone to peep, so she slowly moved to the bed and pulled down the curtain. Shh-" a gasp.

After finishing the solution, she felt that the sound of the piano sounded better. She poked her head out and wanted to ask someone to take the urinal away. After thinking about the cold look in her eyes just now, she decided to do it by herself.

There is a rope in her hand, which can be moved a little, but it cannot be stretched freely. She has to be careful while holding the pot. She moves out of the bed bit by bit, and is about to stuff the pot into the bottom of the bed, but there is a carved board under the bed, which blocks it Her hand almost knocked over the jar, and she let out an "ouch" in shock.

With just this sound, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

She froze.

So what, that guy who can't even play the piano, why did he suddenly lose his voice? Did you come to spy on her?

Her Majesty the Queen squatted in front of the bed, her buttocks pouted, holding a urinal, and waited in a wretched posture for a full quarter of an hour.

For half a quarter of an hour, there was no sound of footsteps, no sound of piano, only the sound of the wings of birds returning to their nests outside, and a slow "cracking" sound. It sounded a little weird, but I couldn't make out what it was.

She was sure that there were no footsteps, so she was relieved, straightened up, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the tension passed, she remembered that she didn't wash her hands. For a person who used to have a serious cleanliness obsession and is still slightly cleanliness, not washing hands when going to the toilet is like going out without wearing pants. It is an unbearable behavior. She couldn't help shouting again, "water-"

Before the sound came out, the curtain at the door of the room moved slightly, and a basin of water was pushed in.

She was a little surprised but also very happy, her eyes suddenly focused.

At dusk, the sun is dim, the light and shadow are shaking, and the clear water waves are slightly rippling. On the side of the copper basin, the silhouette of a hand is vaguely reflected, snow-white, slender...

She rushed over suddenly, but forgot that her hands and feet were tied up, and immediately fell like a dog eating shit. When she lay on the ground and looked up again, the copper basin was half inside the curtain and half outside the curtain, the water was slightly rippling, and there was still no one around. Where is that hand?

She was lying on the ground in a daze, the cold ground moisture slowly soaking into her chest, as if she was in the mood at this moment.

Missing too much, hallucinations all over the eyes?

She got up slowly, jumped over to wash her hands, and squatted by the copper basin to wait after washing her hands. A person walked over, with a slender figure, and her snow-white hands were slowly reflected on the water, and her heart was pounding.

The man squatted down, dragged the copper basin out, and cast a cold glance at her with his jet-black eyes.

Jing Hengbo suddenly felt cold from head to toe—it was the same little girl from before, with a very loli face, but not short.

Was it her who brought the water just now?

How did she know she was going to wash her hands? Maybe it's because the same women also have basic cleaning habits?

However, it seems that this cold girl does not seem to be such a careful person. Or is Yu the regent, who has the habit of treating prisoners preferentially?

The sound of the piano creaked again, abruptly and intermittently, disturbing her thoughts. She didn't know whether it was the lingering poison in her mind or what, she was very irritable in a mess, she couldn't bear it, and she yelled: "It's terrible!"

The sound of the piano paused, but it didn't stop, and it became even louder. She was so angry that she couldn't do anything, and suddenly the curtain was lifted, and the girl came in, holding two copper basins in her hands. Jing Hengbo looked at her in surprise, The girl stood in front of her with a blank face, put her hands together, and began to knock—

"Kang Dang, clang, clang!" A voice that was countless times harsher than the sound of a zither yelled in her ears. With a wave of her hands, a stool was thrown at the girl. The girl stepped aside and greeted her with a copper basin, and there was a loud "Dang" , she felt that her ears were going to be deafened.

Buzzing for a long time, the girl put down the copper basin and leaned in front of her, with gleaming white teeth, sneering and threatening.

"Dare to say that his piano sound is ugly? Just say one more word, and I'll let you listen to it from morning till night!"

After finishing speaking, he threw down the copper basin and left. The residual water in the copper basin splashed Jing Hengbo's foot, making Jing Hengbo's eyes straighten with anger, and he threw himself at the window and cursed: "Where is the narrow-minded idiot master, who taught you the snake spirit disease?" Brainless girl..."

In the yard, the narrow-minded idiot master continued to play the piano, and the snake-sick and brain-dead girl ignored her, walking around in the yard, dragging tables and moving benches, apparently planning to have dinner in the yard.

Jing Hengbo looked around through the curtain, but he didn't find any guards, so he was very surprised.

One girl, one person playing the piano, there are only two people in this huge yard, and these two people are guarding her? Is Yu Guangting too relieved?

The food was delivered from outside, and the table was fully set up, which looked very rich. Jing Hengbo counted the number of dishes, thinking that these two people must have a high status around Yu Guangting.

The sound of "Ga Ga" sounded again, passing by her window, she turned and jumped towards the window, wanting to see the person playing the piano, but her movements were slow, and when she moved to the window, the person had already passed by.

She had no choice but to go back to the curtain. There was a big banyan tree in the yard, and the dining table was placed under the banyan tree. The shade was green and green, and the small wooden table was placed under the tree. After they spread out, she suddenly felt that this scene was idyllic.

The girl dragged a log stool and sat down to eat. On the other side of the table, she couldn't see and didn't know who was sitting on the other side of the table because of the blocking of the wall.

She stared obsessively at the person who was eating under the tree, and her eyes were a little blurry. All these years, jade palaces, golden palaces, rich clothes and fine food, it seems that everyone thinks that what she likes is the luxurious and rich court life, and she also thinks that her favorite It is indeed the most beautiful of all, but seeing the scene of the old tree dining table at dusk at this moment, I suddenly yearn for it infinitely.

What I yearn for is not the artistic conception at this moment, but the peace, comfort, tranquility and beauty represented by this scene. It represents the future of no longer being invaded by worldly disturbances, and retiring to the countryside to truly enjoy life.

Many years later, will she and Gong Yin have such a small courtyard, such a big banyan tree, a log dining table, and eat the most ordinary but cleanest meals facing each other?

Will he help her pick out the green onions she doesn't like, and she peel the sweet potatoes for him?

The girl at the wooden table is taking out a pear from the plate and peeling it slowly. The peeled pear skin hangs like petals, and she is holding the snow-white pear with her slender fingers. It burned Jing Hengbo's eyes.

She suddenly turned her head, not wanting to look at the peace and happiness that belonged to others.

When she turned her head, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and it took her a while to remember that when the girl was preparing to eat, she seemed to have only moved a stool.

The other guy who plays the piano doesn't need a stool?

Reminiscent of the chapping sound just now, if she realized something, the other party seemed to be inconvenient to travel.

This made her even more puzzled, a young girl and a disabled person, why did Yu Guangting think that such two people were enough to trap her?

Therefore, there are doubts?

Her stomach was rumbling, she was hungry, but judging from the bad attitude of the master and servant, don't expect to treat the prisoners preferentially, it would be nice to have some leftovers to eat.

There was a sound behind her, and a scent came into her nose. When she turned her head, she saw the tray under the curtain.

On the tray is a bowl of scallop porridge, a plate of golden crunchy snails, a plate of braised cherry meat in vinegar, a plate of fried clams with crystal shrimp, a plate of dried shredded ham, and white pears and oranges on the white jade plate next to it. Grapes are not only so rich that they don't look like prison food, but almost all of them are her favorite food.

Jing Hengbo ate it as soon as he served it, so she didn't worry about being poisoned. There were so many opportunities to be poisoned, so why waste food.

After the wind and clouds finished eating, the dishes were clean, and she stared at the dishes for a while, only to realize that something was wrong.

There is no green onion in the scallop porridge, the clam shells have been removed, the pears have been peeled and sliced, and even the grape skins have been removed. The green crystal is covered with a pink layer of purple, trembling on the jade plate. After finishing it, I realized that it was too refreshing. I used to eat these things, the table was full of food cores, and my hands were dripping with juice. How could they be as clean as they are now.

She had a strange feeling in her heart, turned around and saw the girl coming over, and was about to thank her, the girl stretched out her hand through the curtain, snatched the tray over, glanced at the dishes, said with a sneer, "It's cleaner than a pig. "

Jing Hengbo's thanks were stuck in his throat, and he didn't decide whether to scold or scold for a moment.

The girl ignored her at all, dropped something, turned around and left. Jing Hengbo took a look and saw that it was a roll of snow-white handkerchief, still exuding heat. Apparently it was for wiping her face.

Jing Hengbo stared at the girl's back wonderingly—what's going on when it's hot and cold?

As the sky darkened, the sound of the rolling chair passed by her window again. She sat still, so she couldn't catch up anyway.

The courtyard door opened and closed. After a while, the girl came in with two large buckets of hot water. It seemed that she was going to take a bath. It was not known whether she was taking a bath or her master wanted to take a bath.

Jing Hengbo wondered if he should take advantage of this time to leave? Or should we stay longer and find out Yu Guangting's secret? His attitude towards that bone today is really abnormal.

He was about to take the bone out of his bosom to have a look - the so-called throwing out earlier was of course a fake, and in times of crisis, this was the only way for Yu Guangting to keep his mouth shut.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something, and rushed to the window. After waiting for a while, she saw a shadow leaping like a roc in the dark sky.

Shadow's qinggong is very high, silent, but dressed flamboyantly in white, tall and thin, her heart skipped a beat, and then she remembered that it was Nan Jin.

She sighed, and decided to persuade Nan Jin to change her attire next time, otherwise her heart would jump every time she saw her, and it would be unbearable after a long time.

Nan Jin didn't come directly to her side, his figure flew past the big banyan tree and disappeared. Jing Hengbo waited in the dark for a while, thinking that there would be a fight with the owner of the yard or that girl, but it turned out to be quiet. Nothing happened.

She didn't know that on the other side of the yard she couldn't see, in a room with lights on, there was someone reading a book quietly, with long silver hair hanging down, and the candlelight was as beautiful as bright brocade.

The door opened, and the girl walked in with a huge bucket in each hand, and the heat immediately filled half of the room.

At the moment when the heat was filling, Nan Jin quietly stood by the window, the girl was busy setting the bucket, and the man in white who was reading a book raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not look up.

While busy, the girl said, "How long are we going to stay?"

The person reading the book turned over a page, "What, are you bored?"

"Well, I hate Yu Guangting's fake face, I don't like talking to him." The girl mixed cold water into hot water, opened a herbal medicine bag, and smoked the medicine with hot air.

"Wait for him to tell where the Lingquan is." He turned another page, "The tribe needs that."

The girl snorted.

He put down the book, looked outside, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I'll send some hot water over there later."

The girl threw the whole herbal bag into the water at once, "Why?"

He didn't answer, and the book turned another page, as if he felt that there was no need to answer this question at all.

"I gave her my favorite crystal shrimp and clams, and I gave her your favorite snail!" The girl grunted, picked up the herbal bag again, and shook the water vigorously.

Outside the window, Nan Jin stood silently, looking at him inside the room, and then at the room where Jing Hengbo was locked up.

The girl was moving the bucket, avoiding the window, and while she was moving the bucket to make noise, Nan Jin's figure flew up silently.

The shadow by the window disappeared.

Still without looking up, he turned another page.

…

Jing Hengbo waited for a short time when the curtain was lifted, and Nan Jin's fish-like figure slid in and gestured to her.

Her eyes gleamed in the dark.

Jing Hengbo was a little surprised, she got it done so quickly?

When Nan Jin came to pull her, Jing Hengbo hesitated a little. Although it might be better to leave, there was a voice in his heart telling her not to leave.

Stay, maybe there are more important things waiting for your discovery.

Her hand slipped out of Nan Jin's grip quietly. Nan Jin seemed to be taken aback and looked back at her.

In this moment of darkness, her eyes were even brighter, seeming to have an evil spirit, like cold stars in the sky, making people awe-inspiring.

This kind of gaze made Jing Hengbo feel very strange.

She thought about it, and felt that it must be very difficult for Nan Jin to get here, and she shouldn't let her thoughts go to waste, otherwise, she should go out first and come back later.

So she signaled the binding of her hands and feet. Nan Jin glanced at it and reached into her arms, as if she was about to take out something. Jing Hengbo was wondering if Nan Jin had something that could untie the rope, but Nan Jin withdrew his hand again and turned around. Kneel down in front of her and motion for her to get on his stomach.

The strange feeling in Jing Hengbo's heart became even worse.

But she still lay on Nan Jin's back and looked at the dark yard outside.

When Nan Jin swept out of the room, her footsteps were light and silent. Her lightness kung fu was extremely high, and she seemed to go straight into the clouds with a single upward thrust. As a result, the starlight all over the sky suddenly rushed down and hit Jing Hengbo's eyes. The lights and shadows in front of Jing Hengbo's eyes were dazzled, as if thousands of years All the stars threw themselves into their arms. And the sky was like a curtain, covered by Nan Jin's raised black hair.

Jing Hengbo felt that Nan Jin's back was very cold, getting colder and colder, the bone-piercing cold was like a knife, pressing towards her heart, and she had nowhere to hide.

A thicker darkness rushed ahead, and the lights of Yelu Manor suddenly seemed far away.

Nan Jin jumped so high, it was beyond her expectation, this would become a target, she tugged on Nan Jin's neckline, and was about to signal her to restrain her movements.

When she pulled Nan Jin's collar, she felt that Nan Jin seemed to be making a movement. She turned her body slightly and looked sideways.

Suddenly Nan Jin leaned over.

As if a high-flying harrier was shot by a sharp arrow, or a flying kite was torn off its string, Nan Jin's body suddenly slanted, and Jing Hengbo both fell down.

The wind howled, the stars surged, and in the upside-down world, Jing Hengbo saw a white light flashing out of a black hole-shaped thing below.
