Soldier B and Soldier A looked at each other, then came to him mysteriously and whispered: "Don't blame us for not reminding you, the one enshrined here is Aluogu, the god of orchids!"
"Since he is the god of orchids, I should go in and pay homage!" Ye Zhenfeng said.
Soldier A said impatiently: "Why can't you understand this? Don't worship every god. This Aluogu is not a good thing. He is an evil god who specializes in eating people!"
"Ah——" After hearing this, Ye Zhenfeng pretended to be frightened, and his expression changed drastically.
Soldier A and Soldier B couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh when they saw his cowardly look.
After Ye Zhenfeng left, he turned around and walked into a deserted alley, then casually slapped a yellow invisibility charm on his chest, turned around and walked into the alley again, walking straight towards the two guards. .
The two men felt an evil wind blowing towards them, and they suddenly felt a bit sinister.
Soldier A looked at Soldier B, stretched out his hand and wiped his arm up and down, trembling and said, "Hey, have you ever felt a sudden gust of wind?"
Soldier B also frowned like an earthworm, looked at him and said, "Could it be that we talked too much about Aluogu just now, so..."
Soldier A reached out and patted his mouth, and then said: "Bah, bah, bah - we blame us for being too talkative. Great God Aluogu, please forgive me. I will never dare to speak ill of you again!"
Ye Zhenfeng rolled his eyes at the two of them. These profit-seeking villains were not afraid of being punished by God for violating justice, but were afraid of the authority of the evil man. They were really abominable.
Ye Zhenfeng walked straight between the two of them and walked into the legendary White Tower. There was no one inside the White Tower, and there were weeds all around. It must be because no one dared to enter. The green weeds set off the The white tower makes the whole temple look desolate and mysterious.
When Ye Zhenfeng stepped into the white hall, he saw a colorful glazed dome in the middle of the white hall. The Aluogu statue originally enshrined inside had also been destroyed, leaving only a huge cyan body.
Ye Zhenfeng looked around and found golden words engraved on the surrounding walls. After reading carefully, he found that there were some words about the deeds of the ancient god Aluo. It turned out that the origin of everything came from Zhuilan Palace...
The first snowfall was chaotic, covering the entire quiet Zhuilan Palace. Among the long red walls and green tiles, there was only one palace maid walking alone. Snowflakes fell on the white oil paper umbrella she held. The whiteness between heaven and earth It seemed like they were connected in an instant.
The palace maid's name is Hua Jue. She was born fishing since she was a child. She is a fisher girl from a small village. Later, because her family was poor, she had to become a palace maid in order to treat her younger brother.
Now Hua Jue is serving Empress Qingyi of Chenxi Palace. It is said that Empress Qingyi is a princess from a small country far in the north.
As a princess of a country, no matter how small the country is, she should be highly respected in the Zhuilan Palace. Unfortunately, this empress is weak. Not long after marrying Zhuilan King Lanlin, she was thrown into the cold palace because of a miscarriage. From then on After that, the Qingyi Queen's illness took root, and her health deteriorated day by day.
Lanlin, the King of Pursuing Orchid, has never stepped into the Chenxi Palace again. There are countless beauties in the harem, but it seems that in his heart, Queen Qingyi is just an inconspicuous one.
But in Hua Jue's opinion, the sickly empress in front of her was definitely the most beautiful in the harem. For some reason, King Lan Lin was not interested in her.
Fortunately, the Qingyi Empress is not solely focused on King Zhui Lan. Since being relegated to the cold palace, she has been able to enjoy herself, raising flowers and plants, writing and painting in the Palace of Dawn, and her days are passing year after year. Sent over.
But this year, Queen Qingyi's illness seemed to have worsened. She kept coughing, sometimes all night long, which made Hua Jue, who was waiting by her side, very worried.
King Zhuilan turned a blind eye to Queen Qingyi's illness, while Qingyi seemed to have no concern for her own illness, as if she felt like her life was over, which made Hua Jue very uneasy.
Since she is the empress's personal maid, she naturally thinks of her master, so even on snowy days, she will risk
Xue Qian went to the Imperial Pharmacy Department to ask for medicine.
The pharmacists of the Imperial Medicine Department were helpless against the long-suffering Queen Qingyi. Even though the prescriptions were changed again and again, the Queen's illness still didn't seem to get better. .
In addition, King Zhuilan didn't care about this empress who married from afar, and they became even more uninterested.
"Cough cough cough..."
Qingyi was wearing a white dress and a thin red fur, with long black hair hanging behind her. Her flawless white jade face was slightly red due to being frozen by the wind and snow, and her long eyelashes were It trembled slightly in the wind, which looked particularly beautiful and touching. I felt pity for it when I saw it.
At this moment, Qingyi was standing by the window painting the plum blossoms in the courtyard.
The plum blossoms are covered with snow, and their delicate red color is particularly eye-catching in the white snowy sky.
"My dear, stop painting. It's windy outside. You'd better go to bed to rest and warm yourself up!"
Hua Jue pushed the door open and saw the scene in front of her. She immediately became worried about Qingyi's condition.
But Qingyi didn't care much. She smiled at her and said, "It's okay, look at how beautiful the plum blossoms are in the courtyard. They are proud of the plum blossoms in the snow. It would be a pity not to draw them! Ahem... "
Qingyi said while coughing.
Hua Jue hurriedly moved the bronze stove aside and placed it next to Qingyi, hoping that the bronze stove would be closer to her and make her feel warm.
A gust of wind blew in, carrying snowflakes and falling on the window lattice. It also wetted the red plum blossoms on the drawing paper, making them bloom.
Qingyi was startled, worried about the painting, and wanted to take it out, but unexpectedly, she exerted too much force, which aggravated her coughing. This was not good, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the painting paper, until Qingyi looked at the painting. On the white paper, there were shocking blood flowers, mottled, and then he was stunned.
Hua Jue on the side looked at it and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Oh, it's not good! My dear, you're coughing up blood!"
Facing the frightened Hua Jue, Qingyi seemed to have been prepared in her heart. She was calm as if she was looking forward to this day, as if she had finally survived her terminal illness and was finally free.
She let out a long sigh, and then continued to draw plum blossoms on the white paper with a paintbrush. Her slender fingers were as white as jade, and her knuckles were blown red by the cold wind. This time, she used the blood she coughed up, and there were tears in her eyes. , drops of cold tears fell down across her white cheeks.
Hua Jue on the side looked at it and felt heartbroken.
She hurriedly ran to close the window, then hurriedly found a bowl. She poured the new medicine she had just taken from the Royal Pharmacy Department on Qingyi. She poured the white powder into the bowl and added a little pink. Use the colored medicinal powder as a primer, then pour in boiling hot water to brew.
Then he gently stirred it with a spoon, then gave it to Qingyi and said, "Empress, this is a new medicine prepared by the Imperial Pharmacy Department. It is said to be specially used to treat chronic coughs that cannot be cured. It is very effective. Just drink some of it!"
Qingyi lowered her head and stared blankly at the picture of plum blossoms, and then said, "I won't drink any more. This disease won't be cured by drinking anything!"
Hua Jue was puzzled and frowned: "Why can't you get better? My dear, please don't lose heart. No matter what, I will be with you Hua Jue. When you recover from your illness in the future, I will definitely win back His Majesty's heart. When the time comes, , Your Majesty, you can leave this cold Palace of Dawn, live a life of fine clothing and fine food, and be favored by His Majesty from now on!"
Qingyi let out a long sigh, put down the brush in his hand and said to Hua Jue: "So what about good clothes and good food? I have never lacked food and clothing in my life. Even if I am reduced to the current situation, I still have no worries about food and clothing, and there are still many people around me. A caring little maid is busy working for me. Hua Jue, you have been with me for five years, and I have been taking care of you for these five years... I think the fate between our master and servant is about to end!"
When Hua Jue heard this, she felt heartbroken and said hurriedly: "My queen, what stupid words are you talking about? You have to be good, Hua Jue will serve you for the rest of his life!"
Qingyi shook her head, looking at the stormy snowflakes outside the half-closed window, and said quietly: "The women in Zhuilan Palace all want to be favored by King Zhuilan, but I don't think so. From my first From the day Tian entered Zhuilan Palace, I was thinking about going home, but I also knew that once I entered the deep palace, it was as deep as the sea, and I would never be able to go back alive.
, so I am waiting for today to arrive all the time. Hua Jue, you and I are master and servant, I think our fate has almost come to an end. I think it's been a few days, and I want to ask you to help me with something! "
Hua Jue cried and said, "My queen, please tell me what you want me to do for you. I will agree to it and be willing to do it for you!"
Qingyi took off the herring jade pendant she had been wearing from her waist and handed it to her, and then said: "You can go out of the palace for me and go to the Xihua Bridge outside the palace to find a person named Linyou. , and then handed him this herring jade pendant and told him that it was time to take me back!"
Hua Jue took the herring jade pendant, nodded and said, "I understand, but how do I recognize who Linyou is on the bridge?"
Qingyi said: "You will recognize it when we arrive. He also wears the same herring jade pendant as mine on his waist. He said that he would always accompany me outside Zhuilan Palace, and he would go to Xihua Bridge every night Wait for me..."
Hua Jue is a smart person. Although Qingyi did not tell her relationship with Linyou, she also guessed something. They must have been a couple before entering the palace, because Princess Qingyi had to marry King Zhui Lan, so he has different talents and talents.
Later, the two met, and Linyou would wait for her on Xihua Bridge every night until one day she could leave the Zhuilan Palace.
But the two of them also knew that Qingyi's ability to leave Zhuilan Palace meant that she left alive, and all Linyou could take away was Qingyi's ashes.
The woman whom King Zhui Lan looked down upon was the one who was cherished by the people outside the palace. It was a pity that fate played tricks on people, and the one they loved would not be the one who loved her after all.
