The people of Qianqiao County discovered that the river in Qianqiao County was strangely shaking. The bronze hell swords hanging under the bridge seemed to have some kind of reaction, and they were humming and vibrating slightly.
This is a sign that the sealing mechanism has been touched. Thousands of bridges and thousands of water flow. If one bridge moves, a thousand bridges will ring.
Everyone who was coming and going by the bridge stopped and stood, and those who came after hearing the news also gathered around the river to watch.
"What...what's going on? Why is this bridge humming?"
"No, the sound came from the river. Could it be a water ghost screaming?"
"No, no, the low sound seems to be coming from the bronze Hades Sword hanging under the bridge!"
"Why does this sound sound like a ghost crying at night? The sky is changing. Is something going to happen in Qianqiao County?"
I heard a thunderous strike from the sky, like a golden dragon splitting the sky and the earth, and a stream of people came across the earth. Dark clouds suddenly covered the surroundings, as if there was going to be heavy rain.
Jiang Nanyue and Yujuan heard about the strange thing that happened, and rushed to the nearby Anlan Bridge to watch. They saw that the river was rippling for no reason, and the waves were rising, as if there were some monsters rushing under the water.
"Miss, the governor and Young Master Ye went to look for the tomb of King Qi Xiang. These bridges and the bronze underworld sword were built during the period of King Qi Xiang. Do you think the changes in this bridge are related to the tomb of King Qi Xiang? ?”
Jiang Nanyue said: "I've been hearing people say that the bridges with the bronze swords hanging on them in Qianqiao County are changing. It seems to be related to the tomb of King Qiji. Yujuan, do you know about the tomb of King Qiji? Where?"
Yujuan shook her head and said: "The county guard refused to tell you before. I wanted to find out something from the Feilongwei gang, but that gang was actually tight-lipped this time, saying that Xu Junwei had given orders to them. I can’t say, but miss, I saw them going out in a small boat first, and then they transferred a big boat.”
Jiang Nanyue said: "So the tomb of King Qi Gong should be related to the nearby waters. The last thing that was transferred was a large ship, so it was not on the river, but on the rivers and lakes."
Yujuan said: "There are only three rivers in Qianqiao County, but I think it is unlikely that their rivers will flow. After all, those three rivers are all on the border. Logically speaking, it is impossible for King Qi Gong to build his tomb on the border. scope."
Jiang Nanyue felt that Yujuan's analysis was correct and said: "That means going to the lake."
Just as he said this, raindrops were seen falling from the sky. The bearer hurriedly brought an umbrella to Yujuan and said: "The sky is unpredictable, miss. I think the rain will be heavy. Let's go back quickly!"
Yujuan took the umbrella and held it up for Jiang Nanyue. Jiang Nanyue looked at the people running around with their heads covered, and then looked at the four bearers. They had already put on their bamboo hats and raincoats and were waiting. Jiangnan moon on the sedan chair.
Jiang Nanyue looked at the rising river water, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. The search for the tomb of King Qi Gong was extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, the tombs of emperors have been full of traps. I wonder what happened to them now.
Xu Fei was very skilled, so his brother would be fine as long as he protected him, not to mention Young Master Ye was following him this time, but for some reason, Jiang Nanyue always felt that something was going to happen.
Yujuan said: "Young lady, don't worry too much. Anyway, in seven days it will be the day when the county guard will marry the princess. The county government has already made preparations. No matter how the search for the ancient tomb goes, they will definitely be back in seven days."
Jiang Nanyue frowned slightly and said, "Marrying a princess is a big deal, but it's really unlucky that my brother wants to find the tomb of King Qi Xi at this juncture."
Yujuan said: "The Sheriff must be thinking about adding happiness to his happiness. His Majesty the Emperor values him so much and is willing to marry the princess to him. Naturally, he wants to give His Majesty the Emperor a big gift before getting married, not to mention this matter. Naturally, we cannot delay the lives of Mr. Ye’s friends.”
Jiang Nanyue nodded and said: "Yujuan, you are right. As long as I can help Mr. Ye this time, it will be worth it."
Yujuan pouted and said, "Yujuan doesn't think it's worth it. After all, Mr. Ye can't be with the young lady. Why should we risk our lives to help him?"
Jiang Nanyue reached out and touched the red pomegranate necklace on her chest, smiled slightly and said: "Even if Mr. Ye and I can't be together, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and being able to help his friends is still a good thing." That's a good thing. Yujuan, my brother is not at home these days, so we have to take care of the wedding for him and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Yujuan said: "That's natural. Housekeeper Wan in the Tianfu has already been deployed. We don't dare to be careless at all. After all, she is Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Jiang Nanyue nodded and smiled slightly, and said: "What a great happy event! I wonder what this future new sister-in-law will be like?"
Yujuan said: "Mrs. Hua Ning was gentle and kind, but unfortunately she was too unlucky and passed away early. I hope that Her Majesty the Princess is also a gentle and kind person, otherwise our life will not be easy in the future."
Jiang Nanyue said: "Yujuan, please don't talk about the princess behind her back."
Yujuan stamped her feet and said displeasedly: "Miss, the princess hasn't married yet, can't you just say it? I heard...that Princess Zhaohai is...blind!"
"What?!" Jiang Nanyue was startled. This was something she had never known before. She only knew that since she was a princess, she must be delicate and beautiful, but she never expected that Princess Zhaohai would be blind.
Jiang Nanyue said hesitantly: "Yujuan, you can't talk nonsense! How could Princess Zhaohai be blind?"
Yujuan lowered her voice and said: "I didn't know it at first, and I was happy for the county governor's marriage. I felt that our county governor had favored the princess. After all, our county governor is a married man. But I I heard from a servant in the mansion that his aunt was a nun in the palace, so she naturally knew the situation in the palace. He said that Princess Zhaohai had a strange disease five years ago, and she became blind after that. And her eyes are extremely scary, they are actually seven colors, and people in the palace are spreading rumors..."
The more Jiang Nanyue listened, the more strange she felt. Seeing that Yujuan was about to speak but hesitated, she hurriedly asked: "What are the rumors? Tell me quickly!"
"It is rumored that Princess Terumi was possessed by a monster. After she recovers, she is no longer the princess. The princess is already dead. After she recovers, she is...a monster!"
"How can you say such nonsense?"
"That's right. Later, His Majesty the Emperor issued an order not to spread any more rumors about the princess's blindness. If found out, he would be punished by having his tongue pulled out. After that, no one in the entire palace dared to say anything about the princess's blindness."
Jiang Nanyue was worried. There had always been rumors about monsters, but she had never seen them, so naturally she didn't believe them. However, the mothers and maids in the house believed them very much. In private, she also saw them beating villains. , bought the magic talisman from the old Taoist priest and drank it as medicine, some strange diseases were miraculously cured, which is really unbelievable. Jiang Nanyue said: "No matter what kind of person the princess is, since she marries our Jiang family, it is our Jiang family's blessing. No matter what others say in the future, Yujuan, you must not talk nonsense. After all, you are My personal maid will also be someone close to the princess in the future. There will definitely be servants coming to you to inquire about the princess. You need to be careful and don't cause trouble."
Yujuan nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, I only dare to say this to you. I naturally keep my mouth shut about Yujuan in front of others. Miss, I see that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I can't see it from the bridge." What's the trick, I think we should go back!"
At this moment, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and big raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a rapid sound. A master and a servant stood in the rain, gradually turning into a scene in the smoke. Jiang Nanyue turned around, and Yujuan stood behind her. She is holding an umbrella.
To prevent her from getting wet by the rain, he followed the young lady very carefully. The bearer was wearing a raincoat, and the rainwater flowed down the raincoat. He bent down and lifted the bamboo curtain for the young lady.
Jiang Nanyue lowered her head and got into the sedan, then said: "Go back home!"
"Yes—Miss!"
Yujuan held an umbrella and walked beside the sedan, looking at the pedestrians holding umbrellas, their faces blurred. The summer rainstorm was coming at a moment's notice. The rain was getting heavier and her embroidered shoes were already wet.
At night, Princess Zhaohai dismissed the maids beside her, and fished out the jar of human dream wine given to her by Fan Ji from the cabinet.
While she was slowly savoring the dream of the world that belonged to her, she thought of what Fan Ji said to her that day, and felt that it was difficult to let go of her thoughts.
A lady in the palace has been admiring a young man in white for many years, but in the end she has never said a word to retain that young man. Mr. Nangong will never know that there has been someone like this in this world. I loved him deeply and shallowly.
Love is such an elusive thing.
But what does love feel like? People who haven't tried long for it, and people who have tried feel miserable, but they are willing to fight for it with their lives until death. What is love? Why is there such a powerful magic power, stirring up heaven and earth in this world, subverting life and death?
"The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in darkness. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and you can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge on your way back. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, they will win again. How come it's morning and evening?" Princess Zhaohai chanted softly.
Half drunk and half awake, Princess Zhaohai felt a burning sensation in her heart. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her fair forehead. The sweat rolled down behind her ears and fell into her hair. She felt that her whole body was unstoppably hot.
This hot summer night was already hot and depressing, and as she drank too much, she felt even hotter all over. She tore off the gauze feather coats on her body one by one and fell to the ground, even the pink cloth belt covering her eyes was torn off. On the ground.
Princess Terumi fell on the bed, and vine-like protrusions appeared on her white back, as if a tree was stretching its branches, and like strands of veins bulging, as if there was something alive moving around her body.
She opened her mouth and bit the white silk sheets in pain, frowned, raised her snowy neck slightly, and opened those legendary and strange eyes.
Those eyes were really colorful, like seven beams of light hidden in the pupils. Suddenly, the pupils of the eyes emitted colorful light, and a golden light burst out from the eyes.
