After the avatar is reborn

"Hey, why are you crazy?"

Nianqiao suddenly opened his eyes, and met an impatient face.It was almost difficult for him to make a sound, and he hadn't come out of the nightmare yet.

Facing this familiar face, he was in a trance for a moment, wondering if he had just finished a nightmare and had another dream.

In front of him was the little eunuch Lu Li, who stayed in the Lengping Palace with him.Fu Qingming arranged for him to be a candidate book boy, and he entered the palace according to this status, and then placed him in Lengping Palace, where he would do some cleaning, sorting books, and some simple labor every day.

Lengping Palace was originally the imperial study room of the former dynasty. After the reconstruction of the new dynasty, there was a fire here. After the fire, all the books were destroyed. Later, it was abandoned and shelved after being rebuilt.

Because it was close to the Leng Palace, it was later changed to Lengping Palace, and only a few palace guards were left here to guard it.

It is said to be Lengping Palace, but in fact it is about the same size as Lenggong. No one cares about it all year round. There is nothing lucrative to do errands here. You can't see nobles in four seasons, so it is difficult to have a chance to transfer away.

But one thing is good, it is very obvious, it is suitable for Tibetans.

Nianqiao stayed in Lengping Palace, he had never seen anyone except a few eunuchs and guards on duty for three months here.Only Fu Qingming came over occasionally, and would take him out in disguise.

"Why didn't you talk when you woke up?" Green Carp looked him up and down, "Did you suffer from some kind of hysteria, and kept yelling, almost alarming the guards outside."

"If you have hysteria, you will be dragged to the cold palace and hanged. If you have nothing to do, get up and work quickly."

With a little dissatisfaction, Green Carp said, "Don't think you can be lazy just because you're sick."

Sick... Nianqiao's fingertips made a few marks on his palm, he subconsciously looked at his wrist, and the string of red agate on his wrist came into view impressively.

Red agate beads, with his name engraved on the bottom... those old memories came out, it was the first time Fu Qingming took him out of the palace to give him off.

At that time, he had just entered the palace for less than half a month, because he caught cold when he went out at night, he was also sick, he had a fever at night and had nightmares over and over again.

Green carp glanced at him again, frowned slightly, Nianqiao got up in a daze and followed behind Green carp.

When he was a child, he often worked at his husband's house, and he cleaned up very quickly. He put on his clothes, shoes and socks.

There are only two wing rooms here, and he and Green Carp are arranged to live in one.

What Green Carp said was exactly the same as in memory, and he was also called that way in memory, and then Green Carp handed over all the work to him.

They had originally negotiated, because Nianqiao sometimes had to go out to meet Fu Qingming, and the two of them took turns to work.After a long time, Nianqiao later found out that something was wrong. On the day when it was his turn to tidy up, there would be a lot of laundry to be done.

Because their monthly salary is too low, no one supports them, and their monthly salary is often deducted, so they have to help the guards and eunuchs on duty in the cold palace wash some clothes in exchange for money.

This is what Nianqiao learned later, he remembered Fu Qingming's saying not to make trouble in the palace, but to be an ordinary palace man.

Nian Qiao took over the clothes. There was a huge water bucket in the backyard of Lengping Palace. He put the clothes aside but did not wash them. Looking at himself reflected in the water, his wrist seemed to be in pain, and his face in the water tank became pale. .

There are pinch marks on the palm, and the green carp should go to the eunuch to report the situation at this time of day every day. The vermilion corridor of the palace wall is curved, and every inch is exactly the same as in memory.

Nianqiao went to touch his wrist and felt the pulse that was alive and beating.

He's alive... he's reborn.

Nianqiao's mind was filled with the scene before his death, the blood, the cold and black shackles in Fu Qingming's eyes, and the light "dead". He was a little out of breath.

The sockets of his eyes gradually turned red, and the palace walls all around became deformed, turning into a big impenetrable net, into a prison cell with copper walls and iron walls.

trap him in it.

The fear in his heart continued to magnify, turning into a deep black rotten spot.

This palace cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, he wants to leave here.

The water in the tank sloshed for a moment, and the green carp appeared behind him, staring at the unmoving clothes beside him, and asked him, "What are you in a daze for?"

The boy next to the water tank is wearing the same dark satin dress. The boy has snow-white skin, fresh lips, long eyelashes like a pair of round fans, and those bright eyes make people think of small animals that like to hide. They look a little cowardly, At this time, those eyes were filled with tears, and because of the fever, his face was flushed, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, showing a very delicate and naive look.

With this appearance, it looks as if someone has bullied him, and looking at the basin full of unwashed clothes, the green carp is about to get angry.

Why don't you feel wronged here if you don't work?

Green Carp: "You don't want this month's salary anymore?"

Nianqiao lowered his eyes slightly, he didn't want to cry, so he held back his tears and said softly, "I have a headache today, I will wash slowly, and I will finish it later."

"You'd better finish it before dark." Seeing him like this, Green Carp sighed, "The front of the temple still needs to be cleaned. If you don't finish it before dark, I will tell Eunuch Hong."

Nianqiao waited for the person to leave, he wiped away his tears, thinking about the map of leaving the palace recorded in his previous life.

Fu Qingming took him out of the palace a few times in the previous life, and he remembered the route out of the palace. As long as he could get the token, he might not be able to get out.

As for tokens, as long as he has silver, say to go out to buy, there will be guards willing to lend him.

He finished washing a large tub of clothes, and every extra day he stayed in the palace was one day closer to his death. He had to find a way to escape Fu Qingming's control.

to get out of here.

Nianqiao passed by Green Carp with his clothes, and Green Carp would always deliver the clothes for him, and said to him, "I'll send the clothes there, remember to clean the front of the hall well."

"Don't make me come back and see you slacking off again."

Nianqiao was not good at lying, so he curled his fingers slightly and said, "I still have some clothes for the guards, I will trouble you to come back later."

It's no good to send clothes to the guards, and there will be no money to take. Originally, Eunuch Hong arranged for the guards to wash their clothes.

Green Carp waved his hand, "You send the rest."

When Nianqiao returned to the wing room, he took off the beads on his wrist, and took out a tattered box from the floor tiles under the bed, which contained the things Fu Qingming rewarded him.

And some broken silver.

In addition, there was a broken jade pendant left by his mother. It was of poor quality and was handled by him all the time. Carry it carefully in your arms.

Nian Qiao took the broken silver and inconspicuous jewelry to find the guard, he gave the clothes to the guard, and asked the guard for a token.

The guard told him: "If you go out to buy, try to come back as soon as possible. I see that the guards at the south gate have been changed today. Be careful not to be discovered."

The crime of going out of the palace to buy goods can be big or small. Generally, it needs to order the eunuch to go out, and it may be doing things for the master. Usually, the guards guarding the palace gate will not interrogate them.

But if cross-examination reveals his feet, it is also a crime in the palace.

"I see," Nianqiao didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he thought for a while, and gave the guard the agate bead string Fu Qingming had given him from his cuff.

Anyway, if you keep it out of the palace, it will be sold.

The guard paused for a moment, but didn't say anything, and put away the red agate beads.

Watching the young man leave, the guard stood there, whistled, and a white pigeon flew over.With a letter box hanging on its feet, the white pigeon quickly passed through the palace wall and flew towards the Xiangguo Mansion outside the palace.

Nianqiao and Lvli have nothing to say. Lvli was transferred here because she offended her former father-in-law, and she always wanted to leave here.

He was arranged here by Fu Qingming. From the perspective of Luli, he has no value. After all, it is really difficult to transfer here, and he may be stuck here for the rest of his life.

Nianqiao didn't need to say goodbye to Green Carp, he estimated the time at night, watched Green Carp come back from the guard, and when Green Carp entered the door, he gave him a stare, he felt baffled.

He turned his head and glanced at the green carp. The green carp's face was a little red, and he quickly looked away, not daring to look too much, because he would be scolded later.

"Where are you going so late?" Green Carp asked when he went out.

Only the two of them lived in this small wing, so it was impossible for him to hide it from Green Carp.

"I want to go shopping before the gate of the palace is closed, and I will come back later."

Green Carp looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing out in the middle of the night, what do you need to buy at night?"

"You may not be able to leave the palace at night."

The corners of Nianqiao's lips were slightly tense, and his ears turned red when he got nervous. He was so nervous, but Green Carp didn't suspect anything, and told him not to cause trouble, otherwise the last palace man who was hanged would be his end.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out of the cold screen palace, he thought of something, and stopped again.

He had never left the palace by himself before, and he always rode in Fu Qingming's carriage. His face was somewhat similar to that of the present prince.

People who have been in the cold palace for a long time may not notice it, but if the guards guarding the palace gate see the prince, he will be classified as a suspicious person, and it will be difficult to get out at that time.

Nianqiao was by the flower bed, carefully picked up some dust, and dabbed it on his face, he was a little nervous, looked around, no one should have noticed him.

His figure was only a thin line at night, moving silently against the palace wall.

As everyone knows, this scene in the distance completely fell into the eyes of the guards. Nian Qiao didn't practice martial arts, so naturally he didn't know that there were guards following him.

He went all the way to the South Palace Gate. There are many guards today. He handed the token to the guard. The guard glanced at him and asked him, "Which palace do you work for? What's the matter? Why do you have to pick a time at night?"

"Is there any imperial seal for leaving the palace?"

Nianqiao knew about the imperial seals, and the approval of the imperial seals is actually very troublesome. It is not necessary to obtain the imperial seals when going out.

He was a little nervous. The deep palace behind him seemed to be swallowing him like a big mouth. If he couldn't get out this time, what if Fu Qingming found out... I don't know what will happen to him.

"My master didn't give me a seal. I followed orders to do things. As for the identity of my master, I can't disclose it."

Nianqiao's eyelashes drooped slightly, he glanced at the guards from the corner of his eye, the two guards looked at each other, and said coldly to him: "No matter who your master is, you are not allowed to enter or leave the palace gate at will. , Your master didn't tell you? Come, take him down first."

The torch was faintly visible in the wind, Nianqiao's face was pale, he didn't know about it, there are many rules in the palace, it might not be known in advance every time.He raised his eyes, his heart was in his throat at this moment, racking his brains to find a way to escape.

He cannot be caught here.

If he was caught, Fu Qingming would definitely know that he wanted to escape, and the prince of the East Palace, if they didn't keep it together, they would kill him directly.

Nianqiao was cold all over, he took a step back subconsciously.

At this moment, there was the sound of wheels turning on the ground in the distance, and the horseshoes fell to the ground in response. The carriage on the top of the axle was inlaid with gold trim. From a distance, it looked like clouds and golden dragons were intertwined. They collided together and made a crisp sound.

At this moment, all the guards and soldiers knelt down, Nianqiao didn't know what happened, and knelt down together.

"I have met the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince is blessed and safe."

Inside the carriage, the incense burner was smoldering, and the Seventh Prince Ji Lingyu said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong at the gate of the palace. I'll go down and have a look."

There was more than one person sitting in the carriage, and the smoke melted the eyebrows and eyes of the man beside the driving wall.The man's eyebrows and eyes are as black as ink, and the paint is deep. His eyebrows and eyes are like autumn water, his lips are full of vermilion, and the cold jade penetrates into his bones; the golden coiled dragon is tied on the shoulder collar, and his temperament is noble and gentle. Magnolia, those pure and beautiful noble things.

Ji Xuerong casually glanced outside, and her eyes fell on the kneeling young man in the distance.The young man was kneeling against the wind, his body was thin, he couldn't see his face when he lowered his head, he could only see a part of his white, greasy and powdery neck.
