She was not afraid of death, and she had even prepared for death. She prepared poison for herself, and there was no pain at all, and it passed away in an instant. But now she didn't want to die, she couldn't die yet, she wanted to
What you have done is not finished yet.
The queen was not dead, and the third prince was not dead. Not only did he not die, he even ascended the throne and became the emperor.
The queen would definitely not let her die comfortably. She had waited for today - maybe she would send someone to deal with her before she could wait for today.
The imperial concubine quickly walked into the inner hall. She looked around quickly, then walked to the dressing table and opened the drawer hard. Because she used too much force, some small pendants were brought out, and they were messy.
A table fell.
The palace maid followed behind and asked carefully: "Empress? What are you looking for? I'll find it for you?"
The imperial concubine held a hairpin that was not very eye-catching in her hand, turned around, and said with a smile: "Ah, I'm so anxious. Look for it for you. Before the emperor got sick last year, I asked someone to make a new hairpin.
where?"
"The Empress forgot that the hairpin was just finished, and the emperor... the late emperor was sick. You didn't even see those things, and they were all placed in the box under the shelf over there."
The palace maid turned around and wanted to find something, thinking, why did the empress think about dressing up now? Maybe it wasn't about dressing up, but she wanted to send the things out to find someone to find someone to plead for her to save her life.
?Even if you are a concubine, you will be locked up after shaved and chanted scriptures and vegetarian food for the rest of your life, it will be better than losing your life.
She lowered her head to find something.
The jewels in the box are so jewels that they can make people's eyes shine when they open the lid.
How good was life at that time. The emperor was not seriously ill, and the empress walked sideways in this palace. And the sixth prince... At that time, the people in the palace also curled up with them and picked up everything for them.
It was sent from the palace. Look at these jewelry, everything is good.
She picked up a collar with a gold steel diamond pendant: "Empress, this is probably the most expensive..."
The imperial concubine stood behind her and asked softly: "Do you know why they didn't stay by my side? Only you stayed for the end?"
The palace maid quickly lowered her head and expressed her loyalty: "The life of my servant was saved by the Empress, and she was devoted to the Empress."
"Yes." The imperial concubine looked at her with a smile: "Actually, it's okay to tell you now. I'll leave you behind because your body shape is closest to me."
The palace maid's eyes turned dark and she collapsed softly against the airs.
The imperial concubine put down the porcelain bottle in her hand, took off the jewelry from her head and put it on the palace maid. She struggled to move the oil jar that had already been prepared too early, splashed the vegetable oil inside on her, and then lit the fire.
I don't know how. The prepared fire twister can't be burned. For the imperial concubine, who has always been pampered and has never suffered even after great family changes, lighting is a strange life for her.
I'm the kind of person who doesn't even have to wear clothes by themselves.
The plan that looks perfect will actually break through such a small link.
How can she make a scene of raising a fire without ignition? How can she escape from the cicada?
She found out what the palace maids usually use to ignite. But the more anxious she is, the more useless she is, and she can't even shoot out a spark.
If it weren't for the urgent matter, Qiuqiu really wanted to see her for a while and she would keep bumping into flint like a trapped beast.
Shi'er had already rushed to meet with Guan Wei and Elder Cao. Qiuqiu's task was very simple, just take the imperial concubine over there.
In this huge conspiracy, although the imperial concubine is a key link, she is already at the outermost periphery of this conspiracy group, and it doesn’t mean much to have her or not.
Qiuqiu doesn't like this woman, she doesn't have any human nature. She has long become crazy and cannot be guessed by common sense.
Just like now, all her attention was focused on the flint, as if the thing in her hand was her father-killing enemy, her expression became devoted and ferocious.
A variable appears now.
The concubine's little palace maid who was not hit hard and covered with vegetable oil on her body actually hummed twice and slowly opened her eyes.
She first smelled the pungent smell of vegetable oil, and then opened her eyes and saw the imperial concubine rubbing the flint with force. She was so scared that she was completely out of her mind.
The imperial concubine did not realize that she was awake until she made a sound.
The two women stared at the lady with big eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, the palace maid screamed and retreated, while the imperial concubine looked at her hand. She finally threw down the flint and wanted to rush over to pinch the palace maid's neck.
Even if the palace maid is loyal to the imperial concubine, his first instinct is to survive. When facing this situation, the palace maid resists.
Qiuqiu was speechless.
Two women who pinched each other...
She took a step forward and slowly appeared in the air. First, there was a faint outline, like a reflection reflected on the water surface, and then gradually became clear.
The palace maid saw it first, and then the imperial concubine also saw it.
The two stopped at the same time and stood there.
Qiuqiu didn't need to talk nonsense, so she went over to carry the imperial concubine's belt and lifted her up.
The imperial concubine wanted to scream and resist, but in an instant she lost all her strength and her head drooped softly. If she hadn't had a slight breath, she would have looked like a dead body.
Qiuqiu turned around with her, and the palace maid finally got stunned enough, and screamed and rushed over: "Fairy, are you a fairy?"
She wanted to grab the corner of Qiuqiu's clothes, but she saw that the person was right in front of her, but she grabbed a blank hand in her hand.
Qiuqiu turned her head and looked at her. The palace maid cried and begged: "Don't leave me alone, I... I'm leaving behind only one dead end. Please, take me away together."
Qiuqiu looked at her.
Qiuqiu shook his head: "No. Look at your face, it's not a short-lived person, you should have lived for a long time."
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the person in front of her had disappeared.
The girl who suddenly appeared and disappeared like a fairy. And the concubine she had been serving disappeared.
Is that fairy? It must be! This strange phenomenon suddenly appeared and disappeared, and the ability to lift the empress up and take it away at once...
The fairy said she was not a premature death! The fairy would definitely not lie to her. She would definitely not die here.
The palace maid suddenly felt excited. She looked around the room, took off her clothes covered with vegetable oil, and looked at the dazzling array of jewelry in the box, she grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into her arms, and then rubbed them.
The fire was twisted and threw it on the garment covered with oil.
Instead of running out, she hid in the gap between the two rockery rocks beside the palace wall.
The whole palace soon fell into a sea of fire. Some people ran around and called, and some were busy putting out the fire. She mingled in the crowd, but no one found out that she was the palace maid who served the imperial concubine-
The place where they made an appointment to meet was not far away, just in the Qingning Temple.
The original temple owner here has been executed for offering medicine, and the Taoist priests have been imprisoned. Just looking at the magnificent decorations here, it really doesn't look like a Taoist temple.
After Guan Wei disguised himself as Lord Tang, he did not ask in detail. Anyway... Well, it was not a very pleasant experience. Qiu Qiu thought that Guan Wei was so old, it might be the first time he experienced the entanglement and teasing of a woman.
The first time.
In short, there were indeed some people instructing him behind Lord Tang.
Like the imperial concubine, he was manipulated and approached the woman next to the emperor.
The imperial concubine is not the only pawn.
Qiuqiu also met Old Monk Kongxuan. He was brought back by Elder Cao's men.
These people are just pawns.
Even Kong Xuan is just a relatively important piece.
These people all have their own purposes, and for this purpose, they act wildly and recklessly.
When Qiuqiu entered, Elder Cao was telling Guan Wei: "The two people he was holding had already spoken. Their master called himself the old man Wan Gu, and he had no idea of his origin. He once settled in Yongping Temple. He had three disciples.
Xuan was one of them. He used the secret medicine to stimulate Kong Xuan's spiritual power, and Kong Xuan quickly aged..."
"What about the old man Wan Gu now?"
"His purpose is not to change dynasties. It is no difference for him who is the emperor. He just wants chaos in the world and the people are living in poverty. This will make it easier for him to collect dead souls and refine poisons."
Qiuqiu interrupted: "What is he trying to do this?"
People who practice Taoism always have a goal even if they practice evil demons and gu Taoism.
"It is impossible for him to realize the truth and ascendesh on the road he took. But I heard that there is a method that can achieve immortal body, and the body can be refined to be invincible for all poisons, and even if it goes through tens of millions of years, it will not die."
Qiuqiu shook his head.
The pursuit of immortality is something that everyone has in their hearts. However, for the sake of their own selfishness, they will cause turmoil and war in the world, and the people will live in poverty. What is the difference between practicing such a Tao and a monster?
Elder Cao said: "I have heard people mention this name before, but I didn't care about it. I didn't expect that it would become such a disaster now. Because this person did not make such a blatant rebellion, he suddenly appeared.
Come on, just in time for this moment.”
Yes, the timing was too coincidental.
An old man named Wan Gu is nothing, but is his sudden chaos related to the appearance of monsters?
"What should they do?" Qiuqiu raised her chin into the house.
Not much of these people know, they have been taken out.
"They will not live long. Even if they are alive, they will not be able to turn back their minds. They will only be determined to die." Elder Cao didn't care much about these people. Whether it was Elder Kong Xuan or the Imperial Concubine, they were not innocent people.
Of course, Elder Cao would not put much effort into them.
The life of an ordinary person seems to be short and insignificant in the eyes of those who practice Taoism.
Qiuqiu walked to the yard behind Qingning Temple. There was a shallow pond where white cranes were raised. These cranes were kept here in captivity, and they were full of energy and were completely different from the spirit birds in Jiufeng. (Unfinished)
