C84 (2/2)
It was already Mo Feiling. Bei Xiuran and Nangong Xuan hurriedly left the capital. They did not even have time to bid farewell to Bai Zhixi.
Just as the people were suffering unspeakably from the harassment of the witch church, the empress dowager suddenly sent out an imperial decree, ordering all of the officials to accompany her to the Jade Cloud Temple to pray for blessings.
”Grandfather, how do you feel now?”
The moonlight was like water, chilling in the night. In Xiao Huo Courtyard, Bai Zhixi was currently accompanying Old General Bai for a meal.
Tomorrow, he would have to go with the empress dowager to the Jade Cloud Temple. The only person who didn't feel at ease would be his own grandfather. Because this time, the parasite had shed a lot of blood, and old general had not recovered yet. His face was pale, and he was extremely weak. Fortunately, he had the 'Bamboo String' by his side, so he could go to the Jade Cloud Temple peacefully.
”It's fine, you don't have to worry about grandfather. Xi Er, the empress dowager suddenly sent out an imperial decree. For this trip to the Jade Cloud Temple, he had to abide by the imperial rules and not act according to his personality. Currently, Grandfather is already a cripple. If something were to happen to you again, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to save you. ”
Hearing the Old General Bai's words, Bai Zhixi frowned slightly and nodded obediently.
The memories of his previous self gradually became clear. On the day he crossed over, he was toyed with by Bai Zhiyan and the others, and was thrown into the river. However, the river flowed rapidly downwards, and ended up in the Royal Tomb, where he was imprisoned.
But the Bai Zhiyan she saw was clearly a spoiled miss, she did not know that most of the people who entered the Royal Tomb used her. Furthermore, she was born on that very day. It was likely that she had become the target of several assassinations!
It was already late into the night when he had left the Old Prince's place. The cold wind was still as bone-chilling as ever, but without the silver light of the snow to illuminate it, it seemed very deep and terrifying in the darkness. Due to the matter of Hong Mei peeling his face off, all of the servants of the Prime Minister's Estate had long since gone to sleep. Thus, at night, it was quiet and cold, with a little desolate.
However, it also made it easier for them to act.
Back at the Rain Pavilion, Zi Li was already there waiting. When he saw Bai Zhixi walking over, he bowed to her and then dressed her in a new set of clothes. Not long after, Zi Li held her waist, and brought her flying towards the Shangguan Palace.
In the Yan Shi Pavilion in the western courtyard of the Shang Guan, Shangguan Jingyan, dressed in black was walking back and forth in the house with a solemn face.
”Bu Gu …”
Suddenly, the sound of a cuckoo bird could be heard outside the courtyard. She looked around and beckoned to the darkness. After a while, Dongfang Hao, Jun Mohan, Bai Zhixi and the others quietly entered.
After that, they looked at each other and understood what was going on. They walked towards the darkness and hid in the darkness.
In order to lure out Hong Mei, Hong Dan had especially pretended to be a young lady from a pavilion who had been abandoned by her lover, drinking wine and drinking to her heart's content.
According to the intelligence gathered, Hong Mei hated the young mistresses who were abandoned by her lover and only knew how to hide from their cries. She would kill the young ladies who stole their lover without holding back.
However, they didn't know if their operation tonight would be successful or not, so they didn't tell anyone else. The only ones who knew were the four of them, which was why they appeared to be so sneaky.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Dan, who was dressed in an enchanting red robe, slowly walked out of the room with a sorrowful expression on her absolutely gorgeous face. In his hand, he was still holding the glass cup full of the red girl's blood. He took it in his mouth one after another. It was a very touching and desolate sight to behold.
Suddenly, she threw the wine pot in her hand onto the ground and danced in the weak candlelight. Her four limbs were as soft as water and her slender snake-like waist was twisted. Suddenly, a few lines of words came out of her mouth:
Two wings for the ducks, two wings for the amphibious butterflies, two wings for the ducks, two wings for the ducks.
Spring in a garden is intoxicating
Asking the Holy Monk in private
Is the daughter beautiful or not
Is the daughter beautiful or not
Say something about royal power and wealth
What are you afraid of?
I wish to live forever
Be close to my beloved
Love, love.
The woman danced gracefully, singing and dancing in a graceful manner.
She used her long eyebrows, beautiful eyes, fingers, and waist to make up a beautiful story.
With the flowers in her bun and the pleated skirt at her waist, she had chosen a beautiful scene; with her delicate steps, her melodious bells, moving slowly like a cloud and whirling like a whirlwind, she danced the parting lines of the poem.
