Chapter 30 Eyeballs
Yan Niang looked at the pure green bead and snorted on her lips, "Galaru, you have to eat a giant dragon and five hundred poisonous snakes every day. When you are dying, you cannot eat. After flying up and down seven times, you will fly to Vajra Wheel Mountain and die by burning yourself, leaving only a pure green eyeball. He put Garula's eyes here, and his intention was obvious."
As she said, she took out the handkerchief embroidered with the character "卍", put it on a stone pier without anyone noticing, and looked at the green beads, mingled in the crowds and left by themselves.
The night became darker and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. A beautiful woman walked around the palace gate a few times. While the guards were unprepared, her body suddenly turned into a thin piece of satin and slipped in through the crack of the door. When she arrived inside the palace wall, she shook her whole body a few times, then returned to her original appearance, lowered her head and held her hands, and walked forward along the imperial road.

He Xu was still standing under the locust tree, looking at Cuiwei Hall from afar. The hall had been dark for several days. Since he left that day, the candlelight has not lit up again. He spitted, rubbed his palms against his chest a few times, and walked firmly towards the stone mountain.
However, after taking a long shot on the hall gate, no one responded to it. He Xu knew that Mrs. Huarui was inside because he had already faintly heard the slight footsteps in the hall and the sound of the woman's wobblying clothes.
He looked at the closed hall door and thought to himself: Why didn't she come to open the door? What happened after she fled from her side that day?
The more doubts he piled up, so he simply circled around Cuiwei Hall for a few times, but there were high walls here, and he, a leader of the imperial guard, could not climb up the wall of the harem at night...
So He Xu climbed into the pavilion not far away. The terrain here is higher than that of Cuiwei Hall. Looking down from here, you can take a look at the panoramic view of Cuiwei Hall.
He Xu stood on the railing of Yungui Pavilion, and his toes slightly raised his toes, trying to see the situation in Cuiwei Hall more clearly. However, the hall was pitch black, and Mrs. Huarui should have returned to the bedroom. She was not in the courtyard. He looked at it for a while, but his feet were sore, but still couldn't see clearly.
Just as I didn't know what to do, I suddenly saw a white shadow floating up from the foot of the mountain, coming to the gate of Cuiwei Palace, and jumped onto the high wall, fell into the yard, swayed in the yard for a few times, and rushed into Mrs. Huarui's bedroom.
He Xu felt a thumping sound in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the sword and rushed towards Cuiwei Hall. At this moment, a cold sound came from behind, and a light voice came, "If you break in so recklessly, you will only splatter blood in the hall, and your life will be lost."
He Xu suddenly turned his head, and when he turned around, his sword was unsheathed and pressed against the neck of the man behind him, "Who are you? Look at the outfit, you are not a person in the palace."
The woman smiled softly, "If I regard you as an enemy, I can take your life just now when you are unprepared, so why bother to do this? Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go in by yourself, but then you will be killed by that witch, don't regret not listening to my advice."
A layer of frost was covered with He Xu's eyebrows and eyes, "Mysterious woman? The girl knows who is hiding in Cuiwei Palace?"
"She is the murderer who has peeled countless beauties, a gouache woman."
***
In Cuiwei Hall, the gouache woman crawled on the ground, "Madam, my whereabouts have been exposed. I also asked my wife to return the roll to me. I want to leave Bianliang for the time being and avoid the limelight elsewhere."
"Since you are leaving temporarily, why should you take away the comb?"
After being silent for a long time, the gouache woman pressed her body down again, "Madam, why not leave with me, even if you stay in this deep palace, you will not be favored by the emperor..."
"You mean...you will never come back if you want to leave?" The voice trembled a few times, and Mrs. Huarui was shocked by this sentence.
"I don't mean this. Even if I don't have any news, even if I keep finding the beauty's skin for my wife, my wife will not be sympathized with His Majesty. So many years have passed, and this Cuiwei Palace is desolate year after year. Even if you are ashamed of yourself and have you been so beautiful, has he ever set foot here? Madam, don't be obsessed with you anymore. It's better to escape from this cold palace with me and travel around the world. The world is so big that you don't want to be home."
Mrs. Huarui leaned down and grabbed her collar, her eyes filled with cold light, "The emperor will be back in a few days. At that time, he will summon all the concubines in Daqing Hall to meet. As long as I look the same as when I first met him, he will change his mind and return to my side." The force became tighter and tighter, and her voice became hoarse and low, "But you, no matter what method you use, go and get me back the human skin. With it, you will have no worries."
The gouache woman stared at her already crazy face and said word by word, "Bianliang City is now strictly guarded, and they have seen my appearance. If she wants to find a human skin that satisfies the wife, she may not be able to do so."
"What can't?" Mrs. Huarui stood up and shouted at her viciously, "If tomorrow, no, if you can't get the human skin back tonight, I will...I will..." As she said that, she walked to a short wooden cabinet with "dongdongdong", pulled open the hidden trunk inside, and took out a tin staff, "I will use this staff to beat you into meat paste."
The gouache woman slowly stood up, "After so many years, did my wife think I didn't notice where you put this tin stick? But I didn't move it, for the sake of the wife's love that saved me back then, and for the second, because you and I are both poor people in the world, and the mutual appreciation makes me willing to serve my wife and never leave me. However, after so many years, I suddenly realized that it was not others who trapped us, but ourselves, just as the child husband said before his death, that has been embarrassing myself for years. Madam, you wake up. It's not too late, and I am willing to accompany you, leave this deep palace, remove the shackles on my body, and become an ordinary woman among the people."
Mrs. Huarui laughed "hissingly", and her tin staff fell to the ground, her tears blurred, her chest fluctuated violently, and she coughed heavily.
She smiled and pointed at the gouache woman crawling on the ground, "Where can I go? I can't go anywhere. After experiencing the emperors of the Three Realms, I am no longer my own."
A "giggle" laughter floated outside the door, and then the door opened, and a figure flashed in from outside. She picked up the tin staff on the ground, "It turns out that it has been hidden by you for so many years."
