After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 254
At the small gate of Chonghua Palace, Qing Luo hastily thanked Concubine Rong's palace servants, and ran towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, pulling off the silk cloth covering his mouth and nose.

The cold wind in early spring was like a thin blade, scraping her cheeks inch by inch. She clenched her hands tightly, not daring to stop for a moment.The surrounding trees had sprouted, and the fingertip-sized greenery was lovely, but she had no intention of watching it.

Two days ago, according to Concubine Jin's order, she was supposed to find the new emperor, but she didn't want to leave the palace, so she was sent to the Palace of Compassion by several guards.

The first time she saw the confidant nanny next to the queen mother, she knew something was wrong.

But the queen mother obviously didn't intend to bypass her easily, and she was taken to a remote and lonely pond.She took a look, and saw that the pond was full of algae, bottomless, like a monster with a bloody mouth wide open, drooling, waiting for the palace maid who twisted her to deliver delicacies into the mouth.

Qing Luo is only in his teens, and now his eyes are full of fear.

The palace man behind clasped a pair of iron bracelets on her wrists. The two bracelets were connected by thin iron chains, only a small circle larger than her wrists. In the middle of the chains, a thicker iron chain was used. There is a huge boulder that can barely be surrounded.

She panicked, the palace servant behind her pushed her violently, and someone rolled the boulder into the water together.

It is still slightly cool in early spring, let alone in the water.Cool water came from all directions and penetrated into her mouth and nose, and the stones carried her to the bottom of the pond.

She moved her fingertips and hooked a piece of algae.The cold water covered her ears, she vaguely heard what the people above said, and walked away.

The feeling of panic numb most of her body, she opened her eyes and looked up, her eyes were scarlet from the stimulation of the water.

She didn't know where the courage came from—maybe the master was too kind, so that the palace people were willing to be loyal to her—Qing Luo recklessly broke his hand from the iron bracelet, she resisted with the stone, Resisting the sharp pain in his hand.

But the iron bracelet was around her wrist, without the key from the guard, there was no room to pull it out, not to mention, the more flustered the more confused.

The feeling of suffocation was overwhelming, Qing Luo's lips and teeth loosened, and he spit out a few bubbles.

She froze for a moment, let herself sink down, lowered her head and approached her hand, actually biting off the flesh on her hand.The blood smeared under the deep pond and quickly dissipated.

She forcibly pulled her hand out of the small iron bracelet, the wound was deep enough to show the bone.When she suffocated her last strength and climbed to the shore, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already hidden in the most unlikely place for the queen mother to find - Chonghua Palace. After all, the disease was rampant here, and no one wanted to set foot here.
.
In the majestic imperial city, more than one person is rushing to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for Ruan Yuyi.

Ruan Zhuoxin came here with bare hands, but when he broke into the palace, he snatched a long sword.Even up to now, he still controlled the propriety, and only slightly injured the person blocking the way, or threatened him once or twice.

An ordinary long sword, which he played with ease in his hands, scared away all the guards.

A guard is not a dead man, as long as he has something to worry about, he will inevitably cherish his life.But the imperial city was heavily guarded, so it was naturally impossible to let him in like this, so the more he broke in, the more guards were chasing after him.

In the end, a group of crows gathered, and the passing maidservants all dodged and screamed.

Ruan Zhuoxin casually grabbed a servant girl to ask for directions.

The little maid didn't know what happened, she was taken aback by the Nuo mask on his face, and said tremblingly, the basin she was holding fell to the ground with a clang.

He kindly picked it up for her and stuffed it into her arms.

"Thank you, thank you." The little maid said slowly.But the man had already run away.
.
The strange thing was that when he was approaching the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the guards behind him disappeared.He knew something was wrong, but he didn't care about it, so he took a few steps up the long platform.

There was no one guarding the hall, so he broke open the door, and what greeted him was a long sword, shining with a cold light, only a high-quality sword soaked in real blood can have this luster.

This was the only sharp weapon that was allowed to be placed in the hall, and it had accompanied the new emperor, who was still the prince, on the march to kill the enemy.

As for the sword-wielding man, with a pair of indifferent peach blossom eyes, a shaved nose, and lip balm, with a thick shadow cast on the side of the nose, he is a bluffing face of an aristocrat.But Ruan Zhuoxin knew very well that this person was ruthless.

Jiang Huaiyang seemed to be able to handle the situation in front of him with ease, but he put down his long sword, stared at the Nuo mask he had been wearing with interest, and suddenly sneered, "I haven't had a distinguished guest here for a long time.

"Your attire is novel." I just don't know if he also has the same three-dot tattoo on his body as the previous assassins.

Ruan Zhuoxin gritted his teeth, took a breath, let go of his hand, and the long sword he held all the way fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Huaiyang raised his eyebrows subconsciously, quietly waiting for the other party's next move.

He moved his fingertips to the back of his head, pulled and picked, and untied the string.He slowly took off his mask, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty Jin'an."

He said "Long live", but under the surface of obedience, he actually wished he could grab the new emperor's lapel and question him!
Ask him why he was having trouble with his sister.

Asking him why he brought people to his side, but didn't treat him well, made his sister weep unceasingly.

That is the younger sister of his direct relative who is too late to protect him. If it weren't for Yi'er and A Niang, he wouldn't have thought of joining the army.

Ruan Zhuoxin knelt against the light, even so, his face was clearly caught in Jiang Huaiyang's eyes, his red lips were bright, his eyebrows were painted like ink, especially the pair of affectionate eyes under the eyebrows, just like Ruan Yuyi.

It was a face that had become his nightmare countless times, but was gradually blurred in the endless long dream.

He was slightly suffocated, and opened and closed his lips several times before he found his own voice, "...Yu Huai?"

A name that had been sealed for a long time involved the past that he had deliberately forgotten.When I saw Ruan Zhuoxin at that time, he was still a soldier in the military camp, on the training ground, holding a longbow, and his clothes flapped behind him.

When we met again, he was already a young general.Jiang Huaiyang took a fancy to the ruthlessness in him and promoted him with his own hands.Deputy General Yuan really lived up to his expectations. A sword and a bow became more and more perfect in his hands.

Ruan Zhuoxin has a gentle personality, and any of his subordinates can make a joke.The only time Jiang Huaiyang saw him get angry was when two good soldiers snatched the gold-embedded jade finger from his hand and threw each other for fun.

It was just to tease people, but he didn't want his eyes to turn red, and he sternly scolded the two soldiers.The two of them were startled, and no one dared to speak in a daze.

Later, the Khitans harassed the people in the frontier frequently. They led troops to the west, but encountered a group of people chasing and intercepting them.Because he and Jiang Huaiyang were divided into two groups, each leader made an appointment to meet at the front.

He didn't know what kind of hardships he encountered on the road, so he took the jade finger to the head of the village.

Everything in the past was connected inch by inch, affecting every inch of meridians in Jiang Huaiyang's body, as if a net had been pulled down, creating an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

He remembered that Yuan Yuhuai actually showed him his sister's portrait, but he just glanced at it casually and didn't take it seriously.
