To catch a thief, to catch a phoenix first

Xuanji thought that she was stupid because of her carelessness, so she became stupid, so she didn't refute anymore.Then he held her thin shoulders with both hands, and said angrily, "Why are you in a daze? Let's go."

Beauty is a potion for the soul.

The more beautiful and unstained, the more people want to drag her into purgatory.Ping Duan felt charming, Yun Ying hid the strange look in her eyes, and ran after her with short legs.

"Sister Xuanji, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"Send you to the imperial kitchen to steal chicken legs."

"No! Aunt Shangshi is so fierce, she chased me for nine streets with a chicken feather Zenzi last time, and she insisted on asking which palace maid I am!"

"Tch, if you don't practice your three-legged cat kung fu, Aunt Shang Shi will catch up with you."

"No way, Aunt Shangshi won't be as fast as me after decades of practice, you blackmailed me again!"

Mulan's head ached from their quarrel, pretending to be angry, she turned her head and glared at them and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will turn into two big fat pigs if you eat such a greasy thing as chicken drumsticks? Don't talk about Aunt Shangshi..."

After a pause, she frowned heroically, deliberately teasing them to have fun: "Even snails can run faster than you, ha!"

Hearing this, Yunying was very angry, her cheeks puffed up, her sallow and sickly little face became a little angry, and suddenly she gave a smirk, bent down and reached out to scratch her itchy flesh.

"Ha, haha...don't scratch, itchy──"

As one of the big fat pigs who can run slower than a snail, Xuanji also joined the battle and helped to hold her hands, causing her legs to kick wildly.If the air also hurts, I'm afraid it's an internal injury at this moment.

The three of them were fighting and smiling, and even Shi Xianyu couldn't help but bend his phoenix eyes a little: "Come on, Mulan still has injuries on her body, and the wounds will open again later."

Only Qingbai didn't make any sound from the beginning to the end, as if he had lost his soul, with his head down, he didn't know what he was thinking, and just kept walking forward.

"bump!"

Qingbai bumped into the wall without any accident, her forehead was red and swollen, and she made a loud sound, making people almost suspect that she was going to smash her head.

After hesitating for a while, the empress stopped and couldn't help reminding: "Qingbai, it's time to turn."

"Huh? Hmm."

Umm, what, why don't you turn a corner?Shi Xianyu supported his forehead, looked at her who was stunned in front of the wall, and was speechless for a while in bewilderment.The three of them also stopped in unison, silently looking at her in tacit agreement, thoughtful.

Obviously, the protagonist is deeply trapped in his own mind world, unable to recover for a long time, his eyes are very empty.

Clearly there is only one wall in front of her, but she is engrossed in watching it, as if there are thousands of mountains and rivers in front of her, and there is Mr. Pianpian.

"Sister Qingbai is suffering from somnambulism?"

The more Yun Ying thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes. I don't know how many people died unjustly in this deep palace, but there are many evil ways. Sometimes, it's really not your turn not to believe in evil.

Rumor has it that six years ago, the first emperor had a concubine named Zhuang, who was thrown into the cold palace and went mad.

It didn't take long before she developed somnambulism, ran out from the Wuhen Palace in the middle of the night, broke into the Fangfei Palace in a daze, brutally killed the Zhaoyuan Sun family at that time, and kept saying that it was the Sun family who killed her child.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. Zhuang has been in the palace for 12 years, and there is only one little princess under her knees, who is ranked eighth. When she was six years old, she stumbled and fell into Xueqing Pond, and she just disappeared.

The Zhuang family who committed a foolish act was also given death immediately, and a glass of Jiujiu wine was given to her, so that she would not go on the road in pain.

Later, when the empress ascended the throne, she was posthumously titled the eldest princess of the new moon, to comfort the spirits of her mother and daughter in heaven, and the memory of the Zhuang family.

"Qingbai, Qingbai."

Mulan couldn't help interrupting her fugue, preventing her from continuing to daydream. She called out twice in a row before she regained her composure. Seeing everyone stop, she stared at them inexplicably: "Look at this. What am I doing?"

"..."

Nonsense, it doesn't matter who you look at!

At noon, a group of people walked back to the Zichen Palace in a playful manner, as if the rebellion just now had never happened.so what?The blood on their hands is not as much as that in the imperial city.

Under certain circumstances, human life is meaningless to them, and they can only be reduced to victims of the struggle of the powerful.The weak prey on the strong, and those who want to survive must either be capable, rich, or powerful.

……

However, Qingbai is not the only one who lost his soul.

In late January of the second year of Taiyi, the gates of Yipin Building were closed.

In the backyard, amidst the plum blossoms in the sky, a slender figure is particularly eye-catching. The woman is dressed in a purple sky dress, which is a little less cold than usual, and a little more charming and mysterious.

There were ten people standing in front of her, all of them were dressed as servants, they were tall and strong men in their prime.

Under the beautiful eyebrows, the peach blossom eyes were half-closed, which made her eyes blurred, and the words uttered by the two delicate lips made people shudder: "Trash."

"So many people, no one knows where she went?"

During the days when Shi Xianyu left, not only the entire Hong Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, but Wen Wanmeng's temperament also changed drastically, becoming ruthless and irritable, taking lives at every turn.

The Tianji Mansion originally only belonged to the Prince Regent, and usually only collected various news to distinguish the authenticity from the false, and the members of the Yan Luo Palace were responsible for the truly dangerous matters.

The master of the palace is indifferent, and doesn't care about fame and fortune.Although she has the right to get rid of any dissatisfied people in the cabinet, she seldom punishes her subordinates because she doesn't like killing.

In the past, Wen Wanmeng would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, except for those who committed a heinous mistake.

Now, some of them are from Tianxianyuan, some are from Chuuxuexie, and they have never even seen Wen Wanmeng, but because they cannot find a little girl, they are about to face the fear of dying.

Anger, apart from leaving her without saying goodbye, is also out of worry.She is a little girl, helpless, and the daughter of a criminal minister, where is she going?

One of them fought Zhan Jingjing, trembling all over his body: "Mansion Master, this subordinate is incompetent... It is true that the daughter of the Bai family was on the way to visit her relatives in Baihang City, she caught the wind and cold, and she died in an instant..."

The world is so chaotic, can she eat enough, sleep well, and dress warmly?Or... already killed?

Wen Wan dreamed of thousands of possibilities, but she didn't want to be that possibility—that girl was not a daughter of the Bai family at all, and she was like a fool from the beginning to the end, being deceived into a daze!

The beautiful peach blossom eyes skipped over everyone, and a dangerous chill flashed across them.She directly ignored the person's report just now, and only said coldly: "Do you have any other news?"

No one dared to respond.

It's all because the real daughter of the Bai family has indeed died a long time ago.Master Bai offended Long Yan, committed a heinous crime, and was imprisoned by the nine clans. How could there be any relatives alive.

No one even erected an inscription for Bai Qianjin, so she was buried hastily in the wilderness, let alone beaten by evil relatives and kicked out of the house, and ransacked by bandits on the way back to Beijing.

The snow on the trees turned into drops of water, dripping quietly.Wen Wanmeng only felt a chill on her neck, and wiped away the melted snow with her white fingertips, but seeing no one answered, her eyes were filled with indifference, and ten people were killed with a simple word.

"In that case, let's go back and receive the punishment."

Human life is so precious, yet so humble.In the midst of greed and strife, it is not worth mentioning, even the leftover steamed buns from wealthy people on the roadside are more expensive.

Never, never go back to receive the punishment!Shi was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, he stared fiercely at the femme fatale in front of him, but his life was in the hands of others, so he had to succumb and beg for mercy.

"Palace Master, Palace Master! Seeing that I have been working for Tianji Mansion for so many years, I have no credit or hard work, so please spare my life!"

"That's right...Palace Master, I got married a year ago, and now she is finally pregnant, and the baby is about to be born, my subordinate...I can't leave her alone!"

"I beg the palace lord to spare my life!"

"..."

Begging for mercy kept coming and going, but everyone only dared to beg, but did not dare to take a step closer to her. This beauty is cold-hearted and will not allow others to approach her.

They have their own obsessions, they are obsessed with certain people and certain things, and they work hard for what they want.What about her?Where is the person on her heart at this moment, do you know that she is looking for her?

The night was cool, Wen Wanmeng turned and left without hesitation, pretending not to hear the pleading voice behind her.

The life and death of others can't arouse her joy.Wen Wanmeng was at a loss, she didn't understand what all this was for, she wanted to find someone, but she became so cruel and used all means to persecute others.

King Han was impulsive, and his master deliberately let people out, saying that the empress was not recuperating in the palace, and her position in the court was isolated and helpless. This is a good time to force the palace.

And King Han really believed it, and led a mere few hundred Lin family troops to launch a forced palace. Unexpectedly, something happened on the way, and the Chang family army bravely rescued him. After three days and two nights, they wiped out all the rebels.

During these three days and two nights, the palace wailed unceasingly, and blood paved a road to ascend to the throne, but unfortunately the master did not go on.It should be known that when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman will benefit. This is a good strategy.

But in order to maintain a respectful and humble appearance, her master, who has a soft mouth and a snake heart, does not want to bear the infamy of killing her own sister, so she tries to kill someone with a knife, and gets what she wants without a single soldier.

But in the world, how can there be any reason to get something for nothing?If you don't fight or grab, you will miss the opportunity and get nothing.Human nature, hypocrisy.She asks herself and is not qualified to despise others, because she also has countless lives in her heart.

Everything is for her selfishness.

Because of this hypocrisy, King Han paid the price, and his wife and children had to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate.Princess Yulan was also implicated and her home was ransacked and exiled.

The Lin clan is connected to nine clans, even the talented Lin clan who has just entered the palace and has never seen the Empress before is no exception.From centenarians to infants, no one in the family was spared.

During this coercion, the only anecdote handed down was the female emperor's archery skills, piercing the heart with one arrow, surpassing many men.

She had just recovered from a serious illness, and was stabbed and injured at the end of last year. Unexpectedly, she had such abilities. The civil and military officials of the court were shocked, and she was no worse than the third prince back then.

How can this matter be compared with the dead?What a fool, the third prince has long been posthumously named the King of Qianzhou, and he will sleep forever in the underworld.He was born as the crown prince, but he never even touched a corner of the emperor's jade seal before he died.
