Chapter 33(1/2)
33. Break into the palace and escape death
Yu'er screamed and hurriedly covered the wound, pretending to fall down.
Sure enough, the yellow light above his head dissipated.
The young Taoist priest wanted to come forward to catch Yu'er, but suddenly he saw the girl on the ground suddenly disappeared, and a snow-white fox scurried out into the depths of the garden.
"Master, it's a white fox!" The young Taoist priest turned around and said to the man.
"Hurry up and chase!" Before the Taoist could say anything, the handsomely dressed young man had already spoken.
"Yes!" the young Taoist priest responded, raised his sword and chased after him.
Another young Taoist priest behind the Taoist also chased after him.
"What are you still doing? Hurry! We must catch it!" The handsome man turned around and ordered the three groups of forbidden troops waiting behind him.
"yes!"
Three teams of forbidden troops also pursued deep into the garden.
Deep in the palace, the lights are silent at night.
In the darkness, a little light suddenly lit up.
The two maids held lamps and hurriedly walked to a large brocade-embroidered bed.
A palace maid first supported the crying princess who suddenly sat up and asked with concern: "Third princess, are you having a nightmare again?"
Another palace maid put the candlestick in her hand on the table and came over and said, "Is it that dream of fire again?"
The third princess Yin Ningjia cried and shook her head with tears streaming down her face: "No, no."
The two palace maids looked at each other and said curiously: "No? What did you dream about? Why are you so sad?"
Ning Jia raised her teary eyes and tried hard to recall, but in the end she just shook her head and said: "I can't remember clearly. I only remember that the dream was bright red, and there seemed to be a person."
"A bright red? Isn't that the light of fire?" the palace maid said.
Ning Jia shook her head again: "No, it's not fire."
"If it's not fire, what is it?" the palace maid asked.
Ning Jia thought deeply again: "It's like a river, and it's like a phantom. I can't tell the difference in my dream. I just feel so sad..."
As he spoke, he started crying again.
The two palace maids quickly comforted her: "It's just a dream. Third princess, please don't be sad."
The older maid said to the other maid: "Fangrong, go get some clean water so that the third princess can wash her face."
Fangrong responded and went to fetch water.
"Fangqi." Ning Jia called out, leaning on the palace maid sitting next to her and sobbing softly.
Fang Qi put her arm around Ning Jia's shoulders and comforted her softly: "Good princess, it's okay, it's okay. Fang Rong and I are both here and with you."
Fang Rong brought a basin of water in, walked through a begonia screen and put the water inside, wrung out the face towel embroidered with pink begonia flowers and wiped the tears on Ning Jia's face.
The door outside was still open, so Fangqi got up and walked around to close it.
Unexpectedly, when I reached the door and was about to reach out to open it, I suddenly saw a blood-stained snow-white fox swooping in.
Fangqi screamed in shock.
Hearing this scream, Ning Jia and Fangrong quickly turned out of the Haitang screen, and immediately saw the white fox covered in blood that broke in, and screamed in surprise.
Yu'er immediately possessed Fangqi, who was closest to her, and said inside her: "If you tell me, she will be dead!"
Although the sword did not penetrate deeply, the yellow light was so powerful that Yu'er felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
What's more, after being injured by the sea monster earlier, before he could recover, he was hit hard by You Jue, and his vitality was severely damaged.
Being chased by those people, he panicked and broke into the house.
I had no choice but to hide it with this little palace maid.
But now that my consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes in a trance, I was afraid that it would be difficult to cope with the ensuing interrogation, so I ran around the Haitang screen and ran into the house, rolled under the bed, and tried my best to use the ice to cover up the breath on my body.
"Quick, there's blood here!"
"Quick, quick!"
The people chasing Yu'er followed the blood stains on the road and chased her all the way.
The bloodstain disappeared in front of a palace.
There is a plaque on the palace gate with three large seal characters "Jianjia Palace" written in it.
"You two teams continue to search elsewhere." A man who looked like a leader said to the other two teams.
"Yes!" The two teams of forbidden troops continued to pursue him elsewhere.
The leader stepped forward and knocked on the palace door.
"Who?" asked someone inside the house.
"My subordinate, Lieutenant Colonel Lian Ying of the Valiant Cavalry," the man replied.
"What's the matter?" someone asked inside the room again.
"If there is an evildoer who escapes to this palace, he is afraid of frightening Princess Yujia." Lian Ying said.
Lieutenant Lianying of the Xiaoqi Guards School, also named Yunxiu.
"It's not here. You can look for it elsewhere." said the man inside the house.
Two young Taoist priests already held swords and guarded both sides of the palace gate.
"What's going on?" The handsome young man just now has arrived here.
The Taoist with snowy beard and silver hair also followed him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lian Ying hurriedly stepped forward and replied to the handsome young man, "If the blood stains disappear here, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the princess."
This young master in purple clothes is the eldest son of the current emperor of Huanyue Kingdom, Yin Muren, and the crown prince of the East Palace, Xisu, also known as Taicheng.
Xisu walked to the palace gate and said loudly: "Ning Jia, my brother is here, please open the door."
As expected, the door of the Dahong Palace opened with a "squeak" sound.
A palace maid stood aside with her head bowed.
Her bun was like a ring, and her green shirt had wide sleeves. When she saw Xisu, she knelt down on the ground and said, "I will see you, Your Highness, with your beautiful face."
"Get up." Xi Su said.
Fangrong stood up.
Xisu wanted to step in quickly.
"Your Highness, how about I ask Pindao to check it out first?" the snow-bearded and silver-haired Taoist said to him.
"It's okay. Ning Jia is timid, so please keep your voice down." Xi Su said, striding through the door.
The Taoist also followed immediately.
Two young Taoist priests and other soldiers followed behind.
Pass through a section of flowers and trees and come to a pear blossom gate.
The palace maid who opened the door just now stepped forward and opened the door.
Inside the door are embroidered curtains, carved tables, and a warm fragrance, and a person is standing there.
Wearing soft satin with light flowers, plain hair and shawl, skin as smooth as gel, and smoky eyes, she slightly bent her knees and saluted Xisu, and said: "Brother."
It is none other than the third princess Ning Jia.
"Ning Jia, don't be afraid," Xisu said to Ning Jia, "Some strange things happened in the palace recently, so I invited Taoist Priest Tianxuan to come here tonight. Just now, the monster has appeared and escaped with injuries. I don't know if he will be here."
Disturbing my sister."
"No, no..." Ning Jia shook her head and said softly.
Taoist Priest Tianxuan over there has walked around the house, searching for the smell of foreign objects, but found nothing.
Two young Taoist priests were also searching inside the house and were about to pass through a crabapple screen and go inside.
"Taoist Master, you can't go here!" Fangrong hurriedly stopped them and said.
The two young Taoist priests stopped and looked at Taoist Master Tianxuan.
"This is the princess's sleeping quarters. How can outsiders get in?" Fangrong said again.
Taoist Priest Tianxuan bowed his hand to Ning Jia and said, "The evildoer is cunning. I, the Taoist, are here to protect the safety of the princess, so please make it easier for me."
Ning Jia bit her red lips lightly, then said to Xisu, "Brother, it's really nothing, so you don't need to read it, right?"
"Ning Jia, let the Taoist Priest take a look, so that you can rest assured as a brother." Xisu said to Ning Jia.
Fang Rong was secretly nervous and looked at Ning Jia.
Ning Jia looked at Xisu and slightly lowered her eyes: "It is true that no monster has ever been here. Don't worry, brother."
