C15 Canglang boat
Before leaving the palace, the Shura went to a place. It was a place that caused the people of the palace to be anxious — the Sky Prison.
The purplish black gate could be seen from afar, its heavy surface was covered with neatly arranged rivets that occasionally flashed with a cold light under the sunlight, making it seem even more heavy and cold. A row of soldiers wearing dark colored armor stood guard by the door, all of them expressionless.
Wen Yue was no longer willing to walk forward.
It was as if she could already hear the whizzing sound of the whip in the depths of the dungeon. The whip was so coincidental and careless that it only left a red mark on his skin. After that, it was as if thousands of silver needles had pierced him. The pain pierced into his heart and he wished that he could die immediately.
The Second Miss seemed to have seen through her thoughts, "Wen Yue, just wait here, there's no need to lead the way anymore."
"I …" She was about to refuse when the Second Miss flew away and approached the hell filled with wild ghosts and wild beasts.
The second young miss' character was not the slightest bit different from the eldest young miss's. She didn't seem to be afraid of anything.
Wen Yue thought of his young miss. No, she had already changed her name to Queen, if Queen had half the courage of his young miss, wouldn't everything be different?
She suddenly covered her mouth and looked around in horror.
The Shura didn't meet with any obstructions in the Sky Prison and met with the person she wanted to meet.
"Kong Qing!" She said his name coldly.
The man called Kong Qing didn't have any reaction. He looked at her with a pair of dull eyes. His prison clothes were stained with blood and looked extremely tattered.
He suddenly kneeled on the ground with a thump. "I beg you, I beg you, please stop torturing me, just give me a quick death!" "I've told you everything that needs to be said. Every word is true, and there's absolutely no lie about it …"
"I won't torture you. Say what you know again! "
Kong Qing raised his bloodied face and stared fixedly at the Shura. After a long while, his eyes gradually lit up. "You are not from the Heaven Prison …"
"I am the queen's sister... "On the fourteenth day, when you were on duty, tell me everything you saw, word for word!"
Kong Qing's eyes dimmed again. "Kong Qing didn't frame the Queen. That day, the Queen really did appear before the Forbidden Palace …"
It was not the first time he had seen the queen, so he would not be mistaken.
Originally, with his status and identity, he wouldn't easily meet the Queen. However, a year ago, he coincidentally met her by accident.
On that day, he had just switched to being a palace guard, and was on duty for the first time. He didn't know why, but he had rashly rushed into the imperial garden.
Thus, he saw an unforgettable sight in his life.
The young queen was dressed in light purple clothes as she quietly stood by the side of the Agarwood Pavilion with a snow-white fan in her hand. That day, there was no wind, and the hydrangeas under the pavilion were blooming beautifully. She was thoughtfully waving her fan, as if she was fanning the entire garden's fragrance …
He leaned among the stones and for no reason thought of a song he had heard in the old days: "The white fan in his hand is as pure as the autumn moon. "A cool breeze can blow however it pleases, and the delicate fragrance will spread everywhere."
"His Majesty has arrived!" It was unknown who let out the cry, but the people of the palace bowed in succession. He glanced at the queen, who bowed, her hand gripping the long handle of her fan, her body trembling slightly.
She was afraid of the Phoenix King!
Somehow, this thought had intruded into his mind at that time.
The Phoenix King slowly approached her, staring at her lowered hair.
Despite the distance, he could clearly see that the queen's hair was as black as ink. She had a jade hairpin at an angle, and it was as warm as water. A string of pearls on her hairpin slightly trembled.
He did not dare continue to peek and carefully withdrew from the garden.
Afterwards, his dreams often bloomed with a bunch of hydrangea flowers. In the fragrance of that garden, a faint figure could not get rid of it. As a result, when that figure only faintly flickered in front of the Forbidden Palace, his heart had already begun to beat wildly.
The queen!
He definitely wouldn't recognize the wrong person.
"So you're actually only looking at a figure?" The Shura stared at him. "How can you be so sure that it must be the queen?"
Kong Qing hesitated for a moment. "It's not just a silhouette …"
"What else?"
"Although that figure disappeared in a flash, I saw a faint flash of golden light …" He secretly cast his gaze at the Shura's waist. On his golden belt, there was a hollow jade pendant. In the middle, there was a leopard's head inlaid with a badge. Under the illumination of the prison, it also shone with a golden light.
The Shura followed his gaze and knew what he meant. All three harem sisters had the same jade pendant on their bodies. Since the queen had entered the palace, she must have worn it frequently.
"Did anything happen while you were guarding the palace?"
"None …" He wryly smiled as he quickly replied. The guards had interrogated him many times about this problem.
"Well, I have nothing more to ask." The Shura turned to leave.
"Miss …" Kong Qing hesitated for a moment before calling out to her.
"May I ask if the queen is all right …" He lowered his head, not daring to meet that pair of bright and clear eyes. He had been ordered to guard the palace, but he had never known what was in it, or why the figure of the queen had appeared in it, and he thought of the tense hands, the trembling body, and for a moment wondered if his devotion to his duty would bring disaster to the queen.
He waited a moment, and then he heard the girl say softly, "The queen is well."
The queen was well, and he was relieved to ignore the imperceptible oddity in her voice. The fragrance of the flower that he remembered seemed to rush into his face …
Bai Xiaolou was drinking.
In the most luxurious place in the Imperial City, the Moon Inviting Tower, the most elegant beauty of the Moon Inviting Tower, the most attractive looking woman in his dreams, the Queen Guo, was currently nestled in his embrace. A pair of soft, soft, boneless hands held up a jade cup to his lips, and he took the opportunity to drink it all in one gulp, laughing heartily.
Life is full of joy and pride, but people do not flirt with young people.
At such an age, how could he be without wine or flowers or beauties?
Bai Xiaolou knew how to enjoy himself the most.
The signature color of restaurants in the capital, which restaurant had the most fragrant fish and minced meat, which restaurant had the most unique flavor, which restaurant's girls were the most amorous. He closed his eyes.
"Bai Lang, why aren't you accompanying the princess today?" Queen Guo's bewitching eyes widened.
"Princess's family is noble and unreachable, how could they be in the Queen's arms, intimate?" Bai Xiaolou lowered his head, and smelt the fragrance beside Queen Guo's cheek, "Such a beautiful lady, whose fragrance is being transmitted to you?"
"So sad!" In the opposite room, Thirteen Less shook his hair, and was about to spit it out. Heh, this is the Bai Xiaolou that you're looking for. "
"Don't you always feel sour? I think you're about the same as him. Big brother, don't talk about second brother …" The Shura giggled. Feng Qingsheng predicted that the soul devouring poison in her body would return within a hundred days. She had brought Zhao Hui all the way out of the palace but no one could stop his.
Thirteen Less was indeed waiting for her at the Spring Water Little Building. Seeing her happy face, he thought that they would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, the Shura told him to find Bai Xiaolou first.
Bai Xiaolou! I really don't know how Asura got to know him after going to the palace!
He threw his disdainful gaze into the room, endured the sour feeling, and carefully sized Bai Xiaolou up. Hmm, he did have some color, no wonder Princess Qianzhi invited him to the palace. Judging from his carefree and complacent attitude, he probably didn't know what shame was anymore.
"Queen Guo is leaving, let's go!" With that, the Shura leaped.
"Hey …" He silently swallowed down the second half of his sentence, "Why didn't you go through the door …"
Bai Xiaolou was not surprised to see someone floating in through the window.
However, it was a beauty that floated in. Furthermore, it was a beauty that he knew. He could not help but be shocked.
"You are... You are the second young miss of Rong Family! " He immediately recognized it and his eyes lit up, "Second Miss' sword dance that day was really amazing … Every time I think back on it, I really don't know how to taste it. "
"Master Bai, I have a question to ask."
"Second Miss is too polite, please call me Lou." Bai Xiaolou was a little flattered.
"Little Lou listened to the spring rain all night while the Ming Dynasty sold apricot flowers." The Shura gave a shallow smile. "Your name is very creative."
"Then wouldn't it be even better to call it the Apricot Flower Hall?" The Thirteen Less's sour water kept coming out.
Bai Xiaolou did not get angry, he moved a chair over and invited the Shura to sit.
"Second Miss is too kind. What is it that Second Miss wants to ask, just ask. "I will definitely say everything I know."
"That day when you drank wine in the palace's western garden, Brother Lou said that the Three Lives One Dream in your hands, came from Canglang boat?"
"He must be bragging. I, Qi Shisan, have been to the Canglang boat before, why haven't I heard of any wine called Three Lives One Dream …" The Thirteen Less scoffed, but unexpectedly, the Asura pinched his arm, "Don't interrupt."
Bai Xiaolou smiled, "Oh, Thirteen Less has been to the Canglang boat before?"
"Every year …"
"Have you ever been to the middle of the ship?"
"What …" Canglang boat still has a seating arrangement? " The moment Thirteen Less finished speaking, he saw a trace of a mocking smile float on the corner of Bai Xiaolou's mouth.
