Suo Diling

Watching the messenger go away, my heart was uneasy, but it was useless to be anxious, so I had to sit back in the pavilion and share dinner with Xiao Yu.The delicacies of mountains and seas are tasteless, and my mouth is dry. I only drank a few cups of tea, but it still couldn't quench my thirst.Just when I wondered if it was the Gu in my body that caused me to suffer from blood addiction again, Xiao Yu's servant brought a plate of food.

As soon as the cloth was lifted, it turned out to be two thigh bones that had been peeled off, with a little blood remaining.

I should lose my appetite, but smelling the bloody smell, I don't want to vomit, but I am even more thirsty.I immediately turned my face away and covered my nose: "Take it away, Gu can't eat it anymore."

But Xiao Yu said: "Uncle Huang, help me choose, which one is suitable for making a flute? I heard from a quack warlock that the flute made of the leg bones of a person with flexible legs and feet has a miraculous effect on the music. In the past two years, I I changed several flutes, but my legs didn’t improve, presumably the material is not good enough.”

Ridiculous, the hamstring was cut by ice skates, how could it be possible to play the flute?

I mocked secretly, but said: "So that's how it is. When you said it, Gu also remembered that there is such a folk prescription recorded in the "Dijing", but there are still some things, and this flute can be effective."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up: "What?"

I took a sip of tea, "Blood, you... get some blood, I want virgin blood."

"Virgin's blood?" Xiao Yu frowned, and summoned a guard, "Are you a virgin?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, nodded, cut his palm according to my instructions, and took half a cup of blood. I pretended to pour it on the two thighbones, left some in the cup, and said nonsense: "Look, this Whichever leg bone is better for bleeding, which one has better sound permeability, and is suitable for making a flute."

While Xiao Yu looked down, I covered my mouth with my sleeve and took a sip of the remaining boy's blood in the cup.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it entered my throat, I felt a strong nausea and spit it out in one gulp.

Seeing Xiao Yu looking up at me in surprise, I hurriedly wiped the blood on my lips, but he had already seen it, and he was stunned for a while before asking, "Why does the emperor drink blood? Is the emperor a goblin?"

I squinted at him and said, "You don't think Gu Xiang is a fairy?"

Xiao Yu nodded, his slender luan eyes rippled like a bird brushing the water: "Like a fox demon."

I laughed silently: "Absurd, Gu is just like you, with some eccentricities. Gu often feels weak, and I asked the imperial doctor that it was due to lack of blood, so I would want to drink blood."

Xiao Yu stared at me, clapped his hands and smiled: "Interesting, interesting, Uncle Huang is indeed a goblin."

The guard turned pale with fright, and knelt down: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life!"

Xiao Yu bent down and pulled out the saber from his waist, and cut his neck with one hand, bleeding profusely.He reached out for the cup, took a full cup and handed it to me: "Uncle Emperor, please use it."

Although I have heard about Xiao Yu's temper for a long time, it can be seen that he is so tyrannical, I was also horrified, and pushed away the cup: "Thank you, but this person is not a virgin, and I can't drink his blood alone."

Several people came up and dragged the guard down, leaving a long bloodstain on the steps.

"It's a pity... I was lucky enough to be a concubine, and I wasn't." Xiao Yu murmured, licking away a little blood dipped in his fingertips, as if he didn't like the smell of blood, after rinsing his mouth, he spit out the golden bowl at his feet inside.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and my thirst was not relieved at all.

I was a little irritable, and looked sideways at the magnificent palace inside the city wall.

Could it be that I can't live without Xiao Du's blood?

Could it be true that, as he said, it can only be solved by having sex...?

How long can I avoid him?If Xiao Du wants to monopolize the power and control me, he must set off an open and secret struggle in the court. How can I sit still and let him trap me?

"I'm curious, the emperor's uncle harmed me before, but now he helps me, what is he asking for?"

At this moment, Xiao Yu's voice brought me back to my thoughts.

I thought for a while: "Xiao Yu, believe it or not, you have offended Gu, and Gu does have the intention of punishing you, but in the Ice Daughter-in-law Contest, you will be seriously injured, but it is not Gu who did it, but someone did it." Hands and feet. I know you will blame the orphan, and I don't bother to argue."

Hearing me mention the turning point of his fate, Xiao Yu's face darkened.

"But I checked the skates I wore that day, and there's nothing wrong with them."

"There is no problem with the skates, so is the rest of the place? How could you notice anything wrong when you went on a rampage that day, trying to win?" I squinted my eyes, "Did you fall when Gu taught you? Pretty good? It’s not that you are careful and calm when you practice..."

"Enough." Xiao Yu tossed the wine glass and interrupted my words, as if recalling the events of the year, he was extremely agitated, his hands clenched his knees tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands burst.

I watched from the sidelines, feeling a little pity for him.

Xiao Yu was not a thoughtful person before, he was arrogant and domineering, and his words and deeds were arrogant. Although his temperament changed a lot after being disabled, his brain would not become smarter because of it.

"That day, your father was also attacked, and everything was arranged. But the man behind the scenes is not alone." I got up, sat down beside him, and held his hand, "It's useless to say anything now, I feel ashamed in my heart, and I will make it up to you. In fact, I have no other wish, but hope that the world will be peaceful. I am tired of being an emperor for a few years, and I just want to do my best to help a generation of Mingjun. The empress is not a Mingjun, I only hope that you will be."

Xiao Yu closed his eyes: "Uncle Huang, if you really help me ascend to the throne of God, I will not treat you badly. But I will always remember the account of these legs, and Uncle Huang will have to make up for it for a lifetime."

I patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think of being a minister alone and assisting you in ruling the world?"

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and smiled: "Excellent."

As I wished, after dinner, Li Xiu was taken into the mansion.

After my side-by-side inquiries and Li Xiu's hints, I knew that Shang Fang's sword hadn't fallen into Xiao Du's hands for the time being, and that a fluttering heart had just returned to its original place, so I pretended to let Li Xiu go to my residence to get it. The equipment for measuring the terrain is actually asking him to go home and get Shangfang's sword.

Right now, it's not safe to hide Shangfang's sword anywhere. Since Xiao Du intends to get it, he will go to Li Xiu's residence to search it. Why not take it first and temporarily bury it in Xiao Yu's residence by taking the opportunity of building a temple.

In the middle of the night, under the escort of a team of prince's guards, Li Xiu successfully crossed the sea, mixed Shangfang's sword with a pile of measuring equipment, and piled it in a garden where the temple was going to be built.Xiao Yu was unaware of this matter. He didn't know that this could take Xiao Du's life or his life. The magic weapon that helped me break through the barriers was hidden in the place where he worshiped the gods every day.

When I was ugly, I fell asleep, but the thirst for blood made me sleepless, and I didn't close my eyes until dawn.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Chen arrived unexpectedly, with bloodstains left on his body from the fierce fighting, and it seemed that he managed to get rid of Wu Sha with great difficulty.Seeing him close the window with a tense expression, I knew he must have found something, so I poured him a cup of tea and ordered him to sit down and talk slowly.

"What's the matter, you're in such a panic? This is Prince Yu's residence anyway, so don't be afraid of that Usha."

"The emperor sent his subordinates to investigate the life experience of the prince Xiao Du, and the subordinates found some clues. Xiao Du's biological mother was once a barbarian dancer in the Dihua Tower, and she was indeed a man... She was a prisoner of war. The emperor may Remember the late emperor’s Northern Expedition 20 years ago, he returned with a great victory, and brought back a thousand prisoners of war from the Chi tribe?”

I nodded.

It was a protracted war, and even though I was young, I was very impressed.

Bai Li continued: "Among the prisoners, there was a barbarian woman who was good at fighting, she was Ulan, the queen of the Chi tribe. After being captured, she refused to surrender, so she was drugged and sold into a brothel."

I was stunned, Xiao Du really has the blood of the royal family of the Chi family, and he is also the son of the queen!

"Because there are many barbarian female prisoners, no one knows the identity of this brothel dancer. It is also because my subordinates served as the commander of the Imperial Army in Mianjing City when they were young, and they personally sorted out the list of prisoners of war. Only when they saw the portrait of the woman did they remember her. The real name, no wonder, when the subordinates saw the prince for the first time, they thought he looked familiar. King Pinglan must have never known that the prince's biological mother was the king of the Chi clan."

After finishing speaking, Bai Li took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it.

On the picture scroll is a barbarian beauty with a high nose and deep eyes. Although she is dressed as an oiran, her brows are sharp and unruly, and the corners of her mouth are raised stubbornly. It is a contemptuous demeanor that is unforgettable.

Such a person is extremely attractive, no wonder Xiao Lan will redeem her body for her.

"Where did you get this painting?"

"In the warehouse where the roster is kept in Dihua Building."

I nodded, put away the scroll, and put it in my sleeve.

Hearing that Xiao Du's biological mother gave birth to him and died of dystocia, Xiao Du probably never even saw his mother's appearance, such a painting should be extremely precious to him.

"However, my subordinates found out that this woman did not die of dystocia after giving birth to the prince as rumored."

I wondered: "Oh? What?"

"After she gave birth to Prince Du, she was expelled back to the brothel and stayed there until the first year of Xuanhe, the year the emperor ascended the throne. Does the emperor remember that after your triumphant return, you pardoned the world and released the barbarian captives? At that time, Ulan also left with the prisoners."

"Later, Gu was worried that those prisoners of war would take away the skills and knowledge of the Mian Kingdom and spread them to the barbarian lands. Let them learn them, causing endless disasters, so he ordered Bai Yanzhi to trap and kill them, leaving no one behind."

My heart sank: "Will the prince know about this? Know how his biological mother died?"

"Subordinates dare not speak nonsense. However, the Crown Princess and Ulan are both Wuzhi, so they should be related."

I sucked in my breath, distraught.Back then, when I was chasing and killing prisoners of war, I was worried that it would cause instability among the people, saying that I am amnesty for the world and backtracking, so I ordered Bai Yanzhi to force those prisoners of war into the deep mountains, and after a quick battle, they were buried on the spot, declaring to the outside that it was just bandits.

After that, some barbarian slaves were found to pretend to be prisoners of war and sent out of the customs, not many people knew about it.

Will Xiao Du know.If this wolf cub finds out about this, he will definitely hate me to death.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help remembering Xiao Du's heart wrenching and a little uncomfortable when he saw Hua Kui's dazed look that night.It turns out that being entangled by this wolf cub is a dark debt.

I owe him something.

"The emperor is out of the palace now, what do you plan to do?"

"Naturally, it's better to stay away from the mountain and watch the tigers fight." I thought for a while and asked, "You have been a secret guard for many years, do you know any way to hide your identity so well that you can't recognize it when you meet?"

Bai Li was taken aback: "Human skin mask?"

"Are you going to get a sheet for Gu?"

"This subordinate has one here." Bai Li took out a piece as thin as tissue paper from his bosom, "It's just that it's a woman's face, and it's usually used by the subordinate himself."

I took it, shook it off and looked at it, it was indeed a plain woman's face.

"Do you want to help the emperor wear it?"

I nodded and let him apply the human skin mask to my face.Without makeup, she doesn't look very feminine, even a eunuch can pass.It's more convenient to be an eunuch when walking on weekdays, so I asked Xiao Yu for a set of eunuch's clothes.

After tidying up, I couldn't see myself in the mirror at all, and became a fair-skinned little eunuch.

I raised my orchid fingers and bowed like these eunuchs, Bai Li couldn't help laughing, a person who is usually serious, actually laughed.He is thirty-five, like the Bai family, he doesn't show his age very much, he looks only twenty, and his smile is like melting ice, he is very good-looking.

For some reason, a flash of Usha's provocation flashed in front of my eyes, and I felt a little ambiguous.

I shook my head hurriedly, throwing away this ridiculous thought.

when-when-when-

The sound of bells and drums in the sky marked the beginning of the farewell ceremony for Xiao Lan's northern tour.

Since it was inconvenient for me to go out to observe, I came to the pavilion on Lincheng Road in the mansion.

The mighty send-off team flooded the city road like a tide and headed for the north gate.

The relatives and relatives of the emperor are among them, they are arranged according to their status, the driver is the emperor's car, and Xiao Du is behind.Seeing him approaching from a distance, even though I was wearing a human skin mask, I was still a little nervous, so I lowered the curtains to cover myself.Behind the prince is Wang Jue. I saw the seventh younger brother. He deliberately slowed down his horse and hung him behind. The chariot beside him was hung with a red curtain. A beautiful figure loomed, and he was about to marry far away. China's fifth sister.

They are so close, close at hand, but also far away in the world, it is rare to say a word.

This is the case when born in the royal family, let alone blood relatives.

If you want to stay together for a long time...you can only ask for an afterlife.

I sighed, and caught a glimpse of a slender hand protruding from the red veil, holding a thing.

The seventh brother galloped past and took the thing in his hand.

It was actually a hydrangea.

It's like a girl waiting to be married, standing on the pavilion, throwing her whole life to her wishful husband.

The seventh brother grabbed the hydrangea and smiled brightly, like a silly boy.

Even if I have a hard heart, I can't help but feel a little dazed.Idiots, really idiots.

Why does the word love make people so persistent?

Perhaps I have seen too much separation of love and hate, and all kinds of tragedies, so I choose to wander on the edge of the world of mortals instead of indulging in it.This is a wise move.I dare not think about what it would be like if I fell in love with someone one day and jumped into the world of mortals.I wish...

I won't be stuck with it for the rest of my life.

I was lost in thought, my eyes drifted to a tall and straight figure in front of me, and I quickly retracted it.
