Deadly Merry [Rebirth]

This is the first month since leaving Qingqiu and coming to the mortal world.

Tu Jiuer covered his mouth and yawned, playing with the teacup in his hand boredly.The little girl sitting opposite was happily playing with a rattle, making a lot of noise. There were also a lot of snacks and toys piled up in front of her, as if half of the grocery stalls in the capital had been emptied.

A weeping willow with a crooked neck happened to be planted outside the building, which coincided with the height of spring, and it was full of greenery.

"Ah Man, stop playing." Tu Jiu'er stomped his teacup on the table, as if a little impatiently disturbed by the sound of the rattle.

"Oh, it's hard to get rid of that stinky Taoist priest, and I can barely breathe a sigh of relief in this brothel, why don't you let me play for a while?" Ah Man held up the rattle and beat it loudly, "Look, I just said I should come Beijing, how interesting."

"Don't mention that stinky Taoist priest. It's unlucky to meet such a person just out of Qingqiu!" Tu Jiu'er frowned, snatched the rattle from Ah Man's hand, and shook it at her, "Just Are you satisfied with such a broken thing? It's worthless."

Ah Man hesitated to speak, but he could only lower his head with his mouth puffed out.

No way, who said that Tu Jiuer bought these things for her?She can't offend the benefactor.

It is said that in order to avoid the Taoist priest, the two of them rushed into the largest brothel in the capital in a panic. When the old bustard saw Tu Jiuer's face for the first time, his eyes were shining, and he twisted while holding two large boxes of gold and silver jewels. Holding her arms and waving her handkerchief, she tried to persuade her, begging her to stay and be the number one here.Tu Jiu'er herself felt that this place was a bit interesting, so she stayed in it logically because of her playfulness, and became an entertainer who sold her face but not her body.

Although Tu Jiuer's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are far inferior to other artists, and she can't play the zither, dance or sing ditty songs, but just relying on her face that looks like a living sign, the running account of this brothel can be turned upside down three times.This brothel is as high as the bustard, as low as the groom, and everyone coaxes her into offerings like a Buddha. After all, the monthly money that has a lot of money in their pockets has to be thanks to this beauty.

The handyman ran upstairs all the way, and said out of breath at the door: "You two girls, don't eat tea, go downstairs first, the bustard said something to do."

"What's the matter? You want to lie to me again. If you don't explain it, I'm too lazy to move." Tu Jiu'er picked her finger without looking up.

"It's not picking up guests this time, it's really a big deal," the servant laughed, scratching the back of his head embarrassingly, "Didn't the current sage go to Gutan Temple to pick up the queen mother and queen back to the palace in person a few days ago? At that time, the city was full of storms, and the girls went out for an outing in the countryside at that time, so maybe they didn’t remember it. No, they just came back. According to the law, we ordinary people have to go out and kneel on both sides of the street to greet them.”

"Kneel down?" Tu Jiu'er burst into laughter, and smiled at Ah Man, "Look, someone told me to kneel."

"San San." Ah Man winked at her, signaling her not to be too ostentatious, so as to reveal her identity.

Tu Jiu'er snorted disdainfully, lowered his eyes and picked up the teapot to pour tea, then turned to the servant outside the door loudly: "You go, tell the bustard that I am seriously ill today, and I can't even get out of the ground."

The boy couldn't do anything with this living Bodhisattva, and he knew in his heart that the bustard couldn't do anything either, so he could only murmur and ask: "The girls are inconvenient, but the bustard must be considerate. But the girls must remember, shut it up tightly." Just stay in the house quietly with the door, don't open the window, if the official sees it, then..."

"Are you bothered by your nagging?" Tu Jiu'er picked up a teacup and slammed it on the door frame, the tinkling of the bell shattered the tiles on the floor, "Go away!"

The boy didn't dare to talk anymore, and ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, your bad temper is really spoiling those who are greedy for appearance," Ah Man smacked his lips and shook his head, "The same goes for those monsters in Qingqiu, and so does this group of ordinary people in the mortal world."

Tu Jiu'er ignored her, and slowly swayed to the window with a cup of hot tea just poured, not only opened the two windows wide, but also arrogantly sat on the window sill with the tea in his hands.

Ah Man has always known that Tu Jiu'er's temperament is stubborn, rebellious, stubborn, arrogant, condescending, the more she is told not to do something, the more she will commit a crime, and she will not listen to persuasion, so she also I don't intend to spend that much time telling her to listen to the boy and close the window.

Tu Jiuer picked up the lid of the teacup and lightly scratched the edge of the teacup, brushed away a few leaves of tea leaves floating on the water surface, hot air wafted around the fingertips pinching the rim of the cup, but he never took a sip.She just pretended to hold the tea, as if she was just leaning here to watch the scenery for drinking tea.

She has not seen the emperor in the world.

Someone once said that whenever there is a pile of thoughtful things, there must be a leader. In the world of gods, there is God respecting Di Jun, in the world of immortals, there is the emperor Jade Emperor, in the world of ghosts, there is the king of hell, and in the world of demons, there is Tu Cang, the king of demons.As for Ren Zun in the human world, mortals seem to be more accustomed to calling him "Emperor".

Emperor.

The time was almost up, and all the residents who were visible to the naked eye went out and knelt down neatly along the aisle.In the distance, the shadows of the leading cavalry and the yellow flags of the royal family tied to the horses can already be seen.

Tu Jiuer blinked, and gently tapped the rim of the cup rhythmically with the lid.

They are getting closer and closer.

Get closer and closer.

In the bright yellow luxury sedan chair at the front sits a middle-aged man, who looks about 30 years old, with a strong and plump outline, and a beard on his lips. Judging from the crown on his head and the coiled dragon gun on his body , This is the current sage who makes the people of the world regard him as the master.

Immediately behind him was another large sedan chair with a slightly darker color scheme. In the middle sat a serious-looking woman, dressed in a solemn black and red main color dress, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. She seemed to be in her early fifties.Although her face is dead, but if you look closely, you can still decipher the charm and beauty of her youth.

Ah Man also came to the window at some point, but hid her figure by the window frame. She pointed to the old woman who Tu Jiuer was looking at, and said, "I've heard people say that it was from Gutan Temple. The empress dowager was brought back. The previous emperor left early, and the emperor ascended the throne at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Not close, the emperor must feel uncomfortable when he is sensible, so the two have been fighting for the sovereignty of the court, both openly and secretly. Hey, it's about the royal family."

Tu Jiu'er smiled, but looked behind without answering.

There is also the last top, which follows the Queen Mother's tail.

There sat a very slender young woman.

The woman's eyes were abnormally red, and her lips were morbidly pale. Looking at her elegant facial features, she should be a beauty in her prime, but she is obviously suffering from illness at the moment, and has become a This looks like a sick child who won't live long.The fat and gorgeous palace clothes are very round on her body, and the delicate and heavy headdress and earrings are even more incompatible with that face. It seems that a person like her should only wear a light-colored simple thin shirt, casually tie up her hair, and hug her. Holding the medicine bowl, he collapsed on the bed and waited quietly to die.

"This is the empress, originally a relative of the empress dowager's natal family, who was forced to marry the emperor two years ago." Ah Man shook his head, proud of his well-informed information, "I heard that the empress dowager went there just to pray for her Gutan Temple. It’s a pity, you see, she is a pretty girl, but she is not in good health, and the emperor doesn’t favor her. It is said that she has been in the palace for two years, and the emperor only talks to her when she needs her help. , I haven't even entered her bedroom, I'm afraid it's because she has too much grievances about her status as a relative of the queen mother."

"You can figure it out."

"Come on, I didn't inquire about it on purpose, it's just that the royal family has made a fuss that everyone in the capital has already known."

"It's boring." Tu Jiuer twitched the corner of his mouth.

Ah Man shrugged his shoulders: "It's not interesting in the first place, how can there be any fun in this brothel? Don't look, let's..."

Before she finished speaking, Tu Jiu'er suddenly raised the hand holding the teacup and waved it heavily——

The teacup took advantage of the strength she deliberately sent over, passed over the kneeling common people and the overlapping guards, and precisely hit the wooden handrail on the right side of the emperor.With a loud "bang", the teacup was smashed into pieces in an instant, and the hot tea inside splashed high, splashing the emperor all over his face.

The surrounding imperial guards were like sparrows awakened suddenly in the bushes late at night. They exploded in an instant, drew their swords out of their sheaths and firmly guarded the emperor's surroundings, directly implicating all the surrounding troops and guards, as well as the bewildered The deep panic and restlessness of the common people.

"San San!" Ah Man opened his mouth wide, his eyeballs almost fell out.

Tu Jiu'er smiled crookedly, looked at Ah Man and said, "Isn't this interesting?"

"It's the woman sitting by the window!"

"The assassin is there!"

"Listen to my orders, go upstairs with the left wing, lightly go to the window with the right wing, and grab that crazy woman!"

"The imperial forest army handles the case - the idlers and others immediately avoid -"

"San San you!" Ah Man saw that the place was surrounded in the blink of an eye, and stamped his feet anxiously and angrily. He could only change into a thrush bird with a bang, and hurriedly dropped a sentence before fleeing: "I See you later!"

Tu Jiu'er remained calm and composed, watching Ah Man fly away without changing his expression.She was quickly captured by two groups of imperial guards who came in through the window and the door, and put on handcuffs and shackles. She didn't resist at all during the process, obediently being a different person.

When she was imprisoned in front of the emperor by a few strong men, the commander of the imperial guard next to her asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured, should he be executed on the spot?"

"On the spot..." With lingering fear, the emperor took the handkerchief from the court lady and wiped the tea off his face. He was halfway through speaking, but when he raised his head, he accidentally saw Tu Jiuer's face, and his gaze was firmly fixed on her face for a moment. superior.He licked his lips, narrowed his eyes, and actually showed a smile: "...Girl, why did you assassinate me?"

Tu Jiu'er raised his head slightly, but looked at the emperor's side without saying a word.

The queen had already got off the sedan chair, but she was too weak to stand and walk for a long time. At this moment, she was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, her eyes were morbidly wet, and she was staring at Tu Jiu non-stop. look.

Only when she was so close did Tu Jiu'er see clearly that there was a small red tear mole under the corner of her right eye.
