Thorn silk gl

They groped their way into the depths of the corridor.Fuwan wondered who the person who opened the rockery mechanism was.There are not many people who know the secrets of the underground palace. She had a few guesses in her mind, but quickly rejected them one by one.

At this moment, a little light suddenly lit up in front of him, followed by a violent shaking of the earth and mountains.

The whale oil lamp went out with a puff, and the two felt the stone corridor shaking up and down under their feet, and fine stones rolled down from above their heads.Fu Wan subconsciously supported the wall, and subconsciously wanted to grab Bai Chan beside him, but suddenly there was a huge thrust from behind.

She was pushed staggeringly, and fell forward to the ground. Turning her head, she saw a three-foot-long stone beam fall, rubbing her toes and smashing into the place she was standing just now, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.This scene was so thrilling that her heartbeat almost stopped suddenly.

Fu Wan sat there for two seconds, then suddenly came to his senses, threw himself to the side of the stone beam and groped, "Bai Chan? Bai Chan!"

The trembling of the tunnel had stopped, and there was only a dead darkness around her. When she opened her mouth, what she inhaled was all the dust that hit her face.

Several overlapping stone beams divide the entire corridor into two halves, with only a few narrow gaps that cannot pass through.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push away the entire huge stone beam. She reached into the cracks and felt only sharp gravel.

Fu Wan coughed twice, her voice almost crying: "Bai Chan—"

"Cough cough." A thin cough came from behind the pile of rubble, followed by a quiet voice: "I'm fine, are you okay?"

"Bai Chan!" Fu Wan rushed to the nearby Shidu, and was relieved to see Bai Chan standing on the opposite side, his clothes stained with dust, but he didn't seem to have any external injuries.

Bai Chan said, "Hey, be obedient. You go inside first, the place is not very stable, and if there is another shock, it may be dangerous." She paused, and then added: "Don't worry about me, I'll go out the same way, and then I will go out again." Try to find you from His Royal Highness Yangxin."

Fu Wan hesitated for a moment, but had to admit that what Bai Chan said made sense.The two tried their best to stretch their arms through the gravel, held their fingertips with difficulty, and parted temporarily.

Fuwan groped forward alone, and the dancing light in front of him became brighter and brighter. It didn't look like an ordinary light, but it looked like...a fire.

fire?Her heart sank, the underground palace was not well ventilated, once it was ignited, the poisonous smoke alone would kill many people.Helplessly, the way forward has been cut off, no matter how worried she is, she can only muster up the courage to go forward.

She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, lowered her body, and ran forward quickly.

Turning a bend, and another turn, she was suffocated by the oncoming heat wave.

Fu Wan took two steps back, looked intently, and saw that the whole row of window lattices on the right was glowing with flames. The fire hadn't reached him yet, but it wasn't far away.

Fortunately, because of the terrain, all the smoke was blown to the other side, and the corridor she was in was not smoke-filled.

Fu Wan made a decisive left turn, pushed open the passage door on the left and went straight in, quickly running through the adjacent palace rooms.The layout of these rooms is similar, and she can only rely on the directions in her mind, first to the left, then to the right... She calculated the speed of the fire spreading, and felt that if she was lucky, she should be able to bypass the fire area and reach the right side before the fire deteriorated. The main hall at the back of the wing——there is where the exit in her memory is located.

She almost knocked open the last door with a gamble mentality.

There was no open flame, she was relieved.Immediately afterwards, the tone was brought up again - there was a woman sitting quietly in the hall.She was sitting in the inconspicuous shadow, stroking her eyebrows carefully at the bronze mirror, if she wasn't humming a song softly, Fu Wan would have almost ignored her.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman turned her head, revealing a familiar face.

Fu Wan lost her voice: "You?" She realized that she lost her composure, controlled her emotions and said, "...Your Majesty."

Empress Chen, wearing a bright red dress, smiled slightly at her: "It's you."

What is she doing here?Has she been here all this time?She set the fire?Suspicions abounded in Fu Wan's mind, and he couldn't figure out where to start asking.

She didn't ask any questions, and Chen Shi didn't intend to take the initiative to explain her doubts.She got up gracefully and walked to the bed, lifted the thin layer of gauze curtain, and said softly: "Chun Nu, don't snooze, it's time to get up."

Fu Wan followed her gaze and felt his heart skip a beat.In sharp contrast to the tender and affectionate Chen, the person on the bed... No, it can't even be called a person, it's just a moving corpse.

It was locked with heavy chains, with a shackle in its mouth, and its blue and purple face was ferocious. It was struggling slightly, causing the bed board to creak.

"Hush, shush..." the empress coaxed softly, holding a round comb to gently brush her gray and thin hair, "Hey, don't worry, I'll let you out right away."

That thing seemed to smell the fresh energy on her body, and became more and more excited. It kept bumping its head against the head of the bed, trying to break free.

The fire suddenly brightened, illuminating the dark room.Fu Wan took a step back in shock - she saw clearly that that thing was the terrifying monster that attacked her and Chu Hengze and the others that day.

"Here, you—" She looked at the Empress in disbelief.

But the empress didn't look at her, all she could see was the horrible walking corpse on the bed.The monster's bandage came off a little bit, and it gave off a strong smell of corpses and medicine. As if she couldn't smell it, she leaned over and kissed its forehead.

The monster trembled violently, and let out a strange roar from its throat.

The Empress coaxed it in a low voice, and pressed it against its cheek comfortingly, as if those rotten scars did not exist.Her movements were as natural as stroking the smooth, firm skin of her teenage lover.

Fu Wan came back to his senses, and clenched his teeth tightly.She clenched her fists as hard as she could to suppress the trembling of her body, and said angrily, "How could you do this?"

"What did I do?"

Fu Wan said sadly: "She's dead! Dead! What are you going to do to let her go?"

The empress smiled: "I finally collected three pictures of dragon veins. According to the method above, she has come to life a little bit, hasn't she? Only the one from the Bai family is missing. Soon, she will be able to truly return to my family." around."

She held up the monster's head and showed it to her: "Wan'er, your mother is coming back, aren't you happy?"

Fu Wan's throat rolled: "...No, she is not."

"She's not my mother, she's just... a monster."

The queen's face darkened.

Fu Wan: "You are crazy! Open your eyes and see clearly! See her appearance clearly! Have you ever asked her if she would like to live like this?! If she is still conscious, trapped in such a broken body How cruel is it!" She dug her nails into her palm, "What love? You are just selfish!"

"Shut up!" The empress stood up from the bed and looked down at her condescendingly, "What right do you have to yell at me? If it wasn't for you, your body would have rotted in a mass grave! If it wasn't for you, where would you be?" Is it your turn to fight for the throne?"

Fuwan thought it was a bit funny: "Qualification? You raise me like raising a Pekingese. Putting it beside you is just more convenient for training." She curled her lips, "But it doesn't matter if you hate me, Never more than I hate you."

The empress stared at her for a while, took half a step back, covered her face and smiled and said, "Ha, yes, I really hated you. You, and your father, killed the love of my life."

The two of them argued too loudly, and the monster's movements became more and more violent. The shackles in its mouth were pushed out, and it rolled to the ground with a clatter.

"Chun Nu?" The empress turned to her when she heard the voice, startled slightly, and said softly, "You hate me too, don't you? I invite all the underworld warriors, but I can't invite anyone to fall asleep..." She nodded as if talking to herself, "You should. You hate me for treating your flesh and blood like that, you should."

Fu Wan watched her flirt with the unconscious walking corpse, and couldn't help saying, "You're crazy."

The empress retorted sharply: "No! I'm not crazy! It's the world that's crazy!" She closed her eyes and smiled, "I begged the emperor like that back then, and I said that your majesty is sitting in the Sangong and Sixth Court, and I only have a spring girl. , as long as a spring girl. Guess what he said?"

"He told me, 'The empress still doesn't understand. The last thing a person wants is sincerity.'" She helped her bun and said lightly, "Actually, he was wrong. What I lost was not sincerity. It's about power. It's because you're under others that you can't even protect your loved ones."

Fuwan suddenly remembered what she had said to him that day, and his whole body was slightly shocked.

The empress woke up to her slowly, and raised her chin: "You also have someone you like? Let me guess, is it the little lady from Dingyuanhou?"

Fu Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.

The empress tilted her head close to her ear, and said softly: "Are you looking into what happened back then? I can tell you that the Marquis of Dingyuan was very popular back then. He first divided up the military power of Da Sima, and then took away Xu's fiancée. They went around everywhere. To make enemies and be hated by others, I just give a little push. Even today, there are quite a few people who want to cut grass and roots."

Fu Wan pushed her away abruptly, breathing heavily.

The empress looked at her with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "Oh, you want to keep her? What if I don't allow it?"

Fu Wan clenched his fingers slowly in his sleeves, and at this moment, his fingertips suddenly touched something cold.She clenched it subconsciously, distinguishing the outline—it was the dagger that Baichan gave her for self-defense.

The empress's voice seemed to be bewitching: "You see, those who are inferior to others are doomed not to be able to protect even the one they love."

Clang.The scabbard fell to the ground, and Fu Wan raised the sharp blade horizontally as if possessed.

The empress looked at her calmly: "Yes, if you kill me, this world will be yours."

Fu Wan took a step forward, and the blade pressed against her neck.She gritted her teeth: "Why...why!"

The empress smiled lightly, and looked at her like a child: "Of course it is for power. Marquis Dingyuan is the emperor's right-hand man. If I want to ascend the throne, I must first clear the obstacles. It is ridiculous that the emperor is so stupid that he can be coaxed by Da Sima with a few words of slander." I got dizzy, and thought it was Dingyuan Hou Gong Gao Zhenzhu who took credit for his pride and wanted to devour him."

"—It's like a tit for tat, if it wasn't for the Marquis of Ding Yuan who insisted on biting, why would I be trapped in the palace?" The empress smiled contemptuously, "It's a good and loyal dog, but it's a pity that it followed the wrong master. "

Fu Wan clenched the dagger tightly, cutting her soft skin, and a thin stream of blood flowed down the groove.

The empress didn't seem to feel the pain, her expression didn't change at all, she just said: "You are very similar to me, and you are also a cruel person. How long can the child be proud of following you?"

"I'm different from you!" Fu Wan stared at her with a hoarse voice, "I'm not you!"

The Empress just laughed.

Fu Wan was completely enraged by her smile, his blood surged up, and he could hardly restrain his violent killing intent.The moment she clenched the dagger tightly, she suddenly heard a clear call from behind: "Wan'er!"

Know who is coming without turning your head.Fu Wan paused for a moment, then continued to pass the knife forward.

"Wan'er, stop—" Bai Chan shouted.

Fu Wan's heart was in a mess, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.She murmured: "No, no...I have to kill her, I have to kill her!"

"Fu Wan!"

Fu Wan turned her head and said angrily: "She personally admitted that she killed the whole family of Marquis Dingyuan!"

Bai Chan took a step forward: "Calm down, she's lying nonsense, just trying to provoke you to do it!"

"Why... why do you want to speak for her?"

"No," Bai Chan walked slowly, put her shoulders on her shoulders, her voice softened, "I only care about you in this world. Wan'er, if you killed her today, how will you sleep in the future?"

Fu Wan said, "I don't care!"

"Wan'er, you don't understand...don't be like her."

Fu Wan's lips trembled: "No, if we don't kill her, we will have no way out."

Bai Chan: "I'll take you away."

"late!"

Fu Wan turned around and stabbed at the Empress, but trembled slightly the moment she met the other's sight.

Chen Minyu's eyes were very pure, without anger or fear.Fuwan had never seen such an expression on her face before, he just looked at her quietly, as if he saw another person through her face, there was a smile and a vague expectation in his eyes, it seemed that he was just going to a scene of hope A long-standing covenant.

After just looking at each other, the blade in Fu Wan's hand could no longer move forward.Her lips muttered, she took a step back, her fingers drooped, and the dagger fell to the stone brick with a soft sound.

Bai Chan hugged her tightly from behind.

The empress was a little stunned, and in the next second, her expression suddenly froze.

tick.tick.

Dark red sticky heart blood fell to the ground.

The two were startled, and looked up, only to see a thin sharp blade protruding from the Empress's chest, and the dark red blood slowly bloomed, like a beautiful peony in full bloom.

The sword edge was slowly drawn back, rubbing against the bones and making a terrifying sound, the queen, who had lost her only support, collapsed to the ground, revealing the person behind her.

Yu Zui came out of nowhere, half of the baby's face was stained red by the spurted blood, like a delicate doll splashed with red paint.

She wiped the blade clean with her sleeve, looked up at the two of them, and smiled slightly: "You finally came to me, aunt."

"You guys didn't do anything all the time, and I was a little anxious waiting." Yu Zui tilted his head and held up his fingers, "Xu Zhilan died suddenly, the emperor poisoned him for Empress Chen, and Empress Chen committed suicide in the underground palace in fear of her crime... There are still Da Sima and Elder Song Ge left, one for treason and one for corruption." She smiled innocently, "Auntie, we are about to take revenge, are you happy?"
