[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

Whether it is the pulse, fetal heart rate or the growth rate, they are similar to the real fetus. The only difference is that after nine months, a normal pregnant woman will give birth to a child, while a Humei's belly will deflate quickly like an air leak .

The pain in the middle process is almost the same as that of giving birth.

Moreover, the belly that has leaked air will also become loose, and it needs confinement to restore its vitality. In this way, it will look more like the appearance of a new child.

Therefore, Hu Meiren leaked her breath at that time, and no one suspected that she was a fake pregnancy.

And this baby that the Queen Mother got from no one knows where, just like that, became the prince she just gave birth to, and the only heir of Emperor Wu Xuan, named Jun Xu.

At first, Concubine Hu Gui thought it was a child brought by the Queen Mother randomly, and had no blood relationship with the royal family, but as Xiao Junxu grew up, the facial features and eyebrows became more and more similar to Emperor Wu Xuan, and then she remembered the other party that night Concubine Hu Gui felt a chill running down her spine as she handed the baby fruit to her with a sly smile, and she dared not and could not think deeply about it.

Sometimes, people can live longer if they live a little more stupidly.

"I don't want to eat it, take these two things away!" Concubine Hu Guifei raised her brows and returned to her original arrogant and domineering appearance, ordering the maid Hongrui to take away the fruit plate on the table.

"Yes, ma'am."

Hongrui responded, and immediately obeyed obediently, she dared not touch Concubine Hu Gui when she was angry.

As the most favored concubine in the harem, the court ladies and eunuchs serving in Concubine Hu Guifei's palace are also the most capable and capable. Not long after Hongrui went down, a young eunuch with delicate features came forward to report again.

"Madam, Mrs. Diao has sent a gift."

Concubine Hu Gui raised her eyebrows, sat down on the chair, brushed her temples with dignity, and let go of her hands only after she felt that it was neat enough.

"Bring it up."

Concubine Hu Gui knew that Mrs. Diao was actually a member of the Empress Dowager, similar to her, but one was placed in the palace and the other was outside the palace, but there was a huge difference in status between the two.

Mrs. Diao's birth was not good. It is said that her husband Wang Duwei brought her out in a remote village in the Northwest. Therefore, in order to make up for the gap in her identity, she went from being clumsy and ignorant at the beginning to honing in a little bit. In the circle of noble ladies, he is very good at life.

For example, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet today, everyone only remembered to think hard about choosing a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, but she knew that afterward, she also gave her a gift.

This kind of thing is actually unnecessary to do, but if it is done well, it will add extra points and leave an excellent impression on the person being flattered, and every time Mrs. Diao's gift is very satisfactory, it can be seen that it is Put a lot of thought into it.

Therefore, even if she is as arrogant and domineering as Concubine Hu Gui, she will subconsciously show Mrs. Diao a little bit of kindness in front of her face.

Besides, Mrs. Diao's husband, Wang Duwei, is actually a high-ranking figure in the imperial city in terms of status.

It was all because his mother was the eldest princess Dalei, with a beautiful appearance and a personality like the sun, confident and flamboyant. She was superior in calligraphy, painting, and art of war. As a man, otherwise he would be able to hand over the world to her with peace of mind.

The eldest princess is so dazzling, naturally she is not willing to be an ordinary lady who wanders among the noble ladies, talks about her husband and children all day long, and her parents are short-lived. She helped Emperor Wuxuan ascend the throne, and she also personally went to the battlefield and scolded Fang Qiu.

Originally, she was betting on Duibao. After Emperor Wuxuan came to the throne, she should be one of the most honorable women at the top of the Dalei Pyramid, but the eldest princess had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary, and an overly comfortable life would make her restless. Especially after Emperor Wuxuan married a man named Mu Qing as his queen and had nothing to do for a few years.

The eldest princess couldn't help having a different heart, and she had ambitions. This was actually reflected when she named her son. When Wang Duwei was young, he took the eldest princess's surname as Jun, named Junyi.

Such a name looks ordinary, but in detail, it is still a bit outstanding.

It's just that the first emperor loved this daughter the most and didn't care about it, while Emperor Wuxuan had just ascended the throne, and his power and position were unstable, and he came to power with the help of the eldest princess, so he naturally wanted to sell her a little bit, so he didn't care.

It was only later that the eldest princess, who became more and more active, acted more and more out of line, and even started to plot against him, trying to pull Emperor Wuxuan from the dragon chair and ask her own son or herself to become the first in Dalei's history. Empress.

It's a pity that the eldest princess' son is a deadhead and doesn't cooperate with her. He even changed his name to Wang Junyi from the surname of his son-in-law on his own initiative, in order not to forget the noble spirit of loyalty and patriotism.

Although this action pissed off the eldest princess, it also saved his own life by mistake. Emperor Wu Xuan, who had long been on guard against the eldest princess's conspiracy, was merciful and let him go.

After the incident was revealed, the eldest princess was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life in the princess mansion where the plaque was removed. She was not allowed to take a single step. This seemingly benevolent punishment was actually the most cruel to her. It is far more painful to be executed by the head.

The matter of the eldest princess was a bit of a blow to Emperor Wuxuan. So far, he felt that he had really become a lonely family. Brothers of the same generation were killed and demoted by him when they seized the throne. Now the only one who has a good relationship with him The emperor's sister betrayed him again for the throne and power.

In the entire imperial city, there is no one who is related to him by blood, so facing this nephew who is not a few years younger than Emperor Wuxuan, who is not threatening and has no intention of treachery, he still The net opened up.

Delegate him to a small town in the northwest as a magistrate, and grind him for a year or two.

The term of office soon passed, and Wang Junyi received the transfer edict to return to the imperial city to report on his duties. Unexpectedly, some self-assertive people presumptuously speculated on Emperor Wu Xuan's thoughts, thinking that he did not want his eldest nephew to come back, so he secretly arranged people and pretended to be assassins Yes, Wang Junyi was ambushed on the only way.

Just like that, Wang Junyi, who was seriously injured, passed out on the side of the road. He was picked up by someone because he was wearing a brocade attire. He recovered more than half of it, and he reluctantly bid farewell to leave until his subordinates finally found him.

That's right, the person who picked him up was none other than Mrs. Diao.

The two have been alone in the same room for more than ten days, and they exchanged glances, and it was inevitable that they would secretly have feelings for each other.

So, Wang Junyi, who returned to the imperial city, ignored his family's opposition and insisted on preparing three letters and six engagements for true love, and married a "country girl" into the house with great momentum as his official wife.

Emperor Wu Xuan was happy to see the success. On the one hand, he was afraid that after marrying a powerful wife in the family, he would breed ambition and rebellion like his mother, the eldest princess; He also tried his best to marry a male vixen as the queen.

Therefore, with the help of Emperor Wu Xuan, Wang Junyi married his beloved Mrs. Diao with a lot of red makeup.

It's a pity that married life is not as happy as he imagined. His Mrs. Diao has a nice nickname Aci, but she is not as cute and kind as her name. After getting along for a long time, she gradually reveals her The extravagant and self-absorbed personality is almost the exact opposite of the pure, kind, spiritual girl who can cook and decoct medicine in his impression.

Ah Ci loves money and spends money on it. Whenever he makes friends with powerful people, he must firmly grasp the opportunity to climb up.

Wang Junyi was a little disappointed in her, and began to feel that getting along with Ah Ci was better than being with his mother who had become a little crazy.

As a result, the relationship between their husband and wife became in name only. If Ah Ci hadn't finally caught up with the queen mother and successfully stepped into the circle of high-class ladies, he might have been abandoned by the disheartened Wang Junyi and divorced.

Concubine Hu quickly recalled Mrs. Diao's current situation, and felt that she knew less about the Queen Mother than she did.

He called the pretty little eunuch just now, and ordered: "Go to my warehouse, pick one out of the pile of white jade ornaments, and give it to Mrs. Diao, and say that she has a heart, and I like her gift very much."

"Yes, ma'am." The little eunuch immediately followed orders respectfully.

On Hu Guifei's side, after venting her anger, she took a bath and took a bath with great care, and went to bed, but the lights on the Empress Dowager's side were still on.

"My lord, how are you thinking?"

The Empress Dowager's soft and majestic voice came out through several layers of thick beaded curtains. Luo Yuan outside the curtains could only vaguely see a dim candlelight inside.

Beads of sweat kept rolling down Luo Yuan's forehead, and the layer of obscene clothes on his body was completely soaked, but he was still biting his lower lip with a pale face, as if he was suffering from great pain.

"Master Guoshi, don't be brave anymore. If you are disobedient, the little bug in your body will eat up the heart, liver and spleen in your stomach bit by bit. Besides, I will give you one for the brother you hate, isn't it?" Do you kill two birds with one stone? Your Gu insect status is higher than his, you can order him, control him as you like, and let him apologize by himself."

The voice in the curtain suddenly changed into a soft and soft girlish voice.

However, Luo Yuan was in so much pain that he couldn't hear the difference, the "buzzing" in his head, just to support himself not to fall, it took all his strength.

"If you don't want to die, just put away the box on the table, wait for your brother to come out, and find a chance to get into his food!"

The voice inside suddenly changed again, this time it was the voice of an adult man full of malevolence, and his words were also full of orders.

The man's voice was very penetrating. When Luo Yuan heard it, his eyes straightened instantly. He sat up straight in a daze, and raised his hand to pick up a palm-sized brocade box on the table next to him.

His speech was a little dull: "Yes, master."

Then, he stuffed the small brocade box into his pocket, bowed respectfully in the direction of the curtain, and left with stiff steps, walking out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The surroundings seemed to have been deliberately cleared, Luo Yuan kept a stiff and dull look on the deserted path, and walked all the way back to the Star Picking Tower.

The maids and eunuchs in charge of cleaning and serving Luo Yuan in the Zhaixing Building saw Luo Yuan's abnormal appearance and behaved calmly. What should they do? They knew at a glance that they were the eyeliners sent by the queen mother .

After Luo Yuan entered his bedroom and made sure that he was the only one in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief as if taking off his mask, and returned to his original expression. It turned out that he was just pretending to be manipulated!

With complicated emotions, he tore open his skirt, revealing the triangular pure heart charm hanging on his neck.

"Father, thanks to you, you saved me again. My son is unworthy. He almost became a puppet in the hands of demons."

Then, he dug out again, and put the small brocade box he had just taken from the Queen Mother on the table, with a sad face.

"But what should I do with this thing?"

He was accidentally poisoned by the Queen Mother, and it was not easy to keep a clear mind under the effect of the old man's spell, but now the demon disguised as the Queen Mother ordered him to give it to senior brother Gu Yi, what should he do? How to fool the past?

Luo Yuan bit his lip and thought.

After Luo Yuan left, the queen mother called a little eunuch in again.

The little eunuch's steps were steady, and he obviously had kung fu skills. After he came in, he knelt down in front of the curtain and saluted respectfully. He lowered his head and waited for his orders. He didn't dare to glance at anything that shouldn't be seen.

The "Queen Dowager" at the other end of the curtain was not in a hurry, and seemed to be mixing some kind of potion in a large washbasin. After the water was filled, she carefully took out a small red gold-rimmed bottle from her sleeve, and carefully poured half of it into it.

Smelling the faint aroma of the potion, the "Queen Mother" showed a satisfied smile.

Then, she saw that she stretched her hand to the back of her neck which was covered by her hair, groped for a while, and finally peeled off all the beautiful human skin on her body.

This scene was really horrifying, and it was fortunate that there was no one around her, otherwise the timid ones would definitely not be able to help screaming until they fainted from fright.

Inside the skinned "Queen Dowager" is a ferocious, ugly, hairless ghost with a green skin, sharp and long teeth in its mouth, like a saw, but its body is a mass of black and chaotic filth. Mud-like, the surface is covered with tendon texture.

It stretched out its miserable green arms, and carefully soaked the skin sac it had just peeled off into the large basin of potion.

The empress dowager's skin slowly unfolded in the basin, as if she was still alive and breathing, with vitality.

This is its most important skin, and the others are very casual, and they are thrown away when they rot, but this one has an extraordinary status. Longer.

Originally, when the skin was about to reach critical mass and couldn't hold on any longer, and corpse spots began to appear, it was pleasantly surprised to find a small red bottle made by Bai Jingyang on the black market. rot.

Even if the price is expensive, it doesn't care about anything else, the status of this skin is so noble and convenient, it really doesn't want to give it up easily.

So it used all its working capital to buy the little red bottle. Over the years, the amount of money it spent was astonishing. It can be said that most of its money was earned by Bai Jingyang.

But I have to buy it. The leather bag needs to be soaked and maintained after a period of time. Don’t look at the half bottle that was poured just now, but that bottle is a special concentrated version. It is usually auctioned on the market. Not only is it expensive, but you have to pour in several bottles at a time. Very inadequate.

Another thing that is abnormal is that this skin is already dead after all. Even if you try your best to prevent it from rotting, it can only maintain the appearance when she just died, and it will not change with age, a little bit. It's normal to get old.

Thinking of this, it felt that it should speed up and complete its plan as soon as possible before anyone noticed something strange.

"Did you take pictures of the latest batch of Little Red Bottles?"

Hearing the question from the "Queen Dowager", the little eunuch trembled, and replied anxiously: "Report to the Queen Mother, I leaked two bottles, and they were snatched by Mrs. Yang in Huaicheng."

It was quiet inside the curtain for a while. This depressingly quiet atmosphere scared the little eunuch into a cold sweat. He was so nervous that he almost went into heart shock, as if he was waiting for his own death edict to be issued.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the "Queen Dowager" just said "um" lightly, and revealed the matter.

It already knows that the mysterious maker behind the little red bottle is Bai Jingyang. Based on his status, he naturally has a way to get the source of goods from him, so he doesn't pay as much attention to the few bottles circulating at the auction as in the past. Two bottles will be less than two bottles.

"You call the group of well-trained maids in." It licked its lips, feeling a little hungry, and wanted to have some late-night snacks to fill its stomach.

The little eunuch immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.

Immediately, he obeyed his orders, and brought out a dozen dull-looking maids from a secluded palace. These maids were all very young, fair and immature, and they were all young girls who had just been sent to the palace.

"Empress Dowager, everyone sent them here."

"Very well, come in."

A dozen or so little palace maids walked into the curtain one by one. When they saw the terrifying "Empress Dowager", their faces were still numb and their eyes were lifeless. None of them were scared and screamed.

The monster floated around in front of them like picking snacks, after thinking about it, finally picked out half of them, and let the little eunuch take them back to the original place for the remaining five or six.

"It's a big night, just eat less snacks."

This time, the ugly loli voice came out from the mouth of the ugly monster. As long as it was devoured by it, it could imitate the voice of the other party.

Then, it stretched out its blue-gray sharp claws and plunged into the chest of the nearest little maid, and from the other's expression that was so numb as if she couldn't feel the pain at all, it pulled out a bright red beating heart.

It opened its big mouth full of saw-like sharp teeth, threw the heart in, and chewed with a happy expression. Occasionally, blood and water splashed out from the gap in its mouth that cracked to the root of the ear, filling the room. The smell of blood.

In this way, it enjoyed the hearts of five young girls.

In the end, he said with emotion: "Sure enough, the heart of a girl is the most delicious."

For the Heart Eater, its favorite food is the heart. Not only does it suit its appetite the most, but it can also increase its demon power. When eating it in human skin, it also has the effect of keeping the skin fresh.

Hearts of different species, ages and genders have different tastes for Heart Eaters.

The hearts of animals have a lingering smell of mutton and fish, and they will only choose when they have no other choice and are extremely hungry. In humans, the hearts of middle-aged and elderly people have a bitter taste of aging. The young man's was too salty again.

Therefore, after tasting almost all the hearts, the heart eater thinks that the sweet girl's heart is the best. Among them, the more beautiful the one is, the sweeter it is, and it can be called the top delicious snack.

After enjoying the supper, the Heart Eater summoned another guard chief who was also bewitched by it and dared not disobey it in any way.

The chief guard knelt down and saluted: "I don't know what orders the Queen Mother has?"

"The Ai family wants you to investigate a man named Xuan Qing. He should be with the third young master of the Bai family recently."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Thinking of Xuanqing, that old tortoise with whom he had some new and old grudges, the heart eater was boiling with black energy, with a man's head roaring ferociously on his chest.
