Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 87
Chapter 10 The Golden Cicada Escapes its Shell
The flat voice was like a bolt from the blue.

Su Mi was startled in her heart.

Was she discovered? !These small actions are the easiest to reveal a person's identity.

The expression on Su Mi's face remained unchanged, she raised her head to look at Shi Rou'er in astonishment, and still asked obediently: "Ma'am, are you talking about the young one?"

"You... originally from Caiwei Palace?" After a moment of silence, Shi Rou'er raised her eyebrows and asked suddenly.

"No, the slaves turned out to be the sweepers who waited on the flowers and trees in the plum garden at the east end of Caiwei Palace. When the Caiwei Palace was short of manpower, they occasionally went to help out. Eunuch Lu, and Xiao Liezi... No, Chief Lie is in charge of them all. I know." Su Mi lowered her head and said.

Shi Rou'er didn't speak, she looked at Su Mi carefully, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Su Mi felt her heart start beating uncontrollably.

As the sun was rising and the sky was getting brighter, a group of patrolling Liao soldiers walked past the palace gate, and the noise of clamor interrupted the weird silence between the two.

"You!" Shi Rou'er suddenly turned her head and called out to them.

Su Mi's heartbeat almost stopped.

The team leader who took the lead ran up quickly, and asked with a flattering smile, "What orders does your mother have?" But his eyes fell on Shi Rou'er's half-covered pink neck involuntarily.

"You guys... go and bury this corpse. Remember to be respectful, this is Daqi's queen." Shi Rou'er raised her chin, gestured to the queen's corpse, and said casually.

Su Mi was taken aback, she couldn't help but look up at Shi Rou'er.

"But..." the captain said hesitantly.Isn't this what their king ordered the violent corpse to be here to warn the disobedient concubine?Without the order of the king, how dare they make their own decisions.

"I will explain to the king later." Shi Rou'er said impatiently.

"...Yes." After hesitating for a while, the team leader followed suit.Yeluxin dotes on Shi Rouer very much, and now ordinary Liao generals dare not disobey her wishes.

Immediately commanded his men to go down to find the cart and move the corpse.

Su Mi and Shi Rou'er stood side by side at the palace gate, watching the empress' body being carried onto the carriage.

The car drove further and further away, gradually fading out of sight of the two of them.

Su Mi was still in doubt, when suddenly, Shi Rou'er's cold and indifferent voice came from behind her. "I don't know if there will be someone to collect my body when I die?"
Su Mi couldn't help turning her head away. The morning light was just emerging, and with the light behind her, she could only see that her face was obscured. She seemed to be smiling, but that smile was also cold and indifferent like her tone of voice.

Before she could study it carefully, Shi Rou'er had already turned around and walked away.

The cold wind whizzed past, and the snowflakes flew, quickly covering up her slender figure, leaving only the sky and the ground covered in plain silver makeup.

Su Mi sighed softly, she couldn't delay any longer, every day she was delayed in this deep palace, the crisis around her would be aggravated.

Although her appearance has changed drastically, and her voice has been changed with the help of silver needles, her figure, behavior and some small habits cannot be changed. Once she is recognized by others, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If... If I really fell into the hands of the Liao people, how would I choose?To die calmly like the queen, or to accept it tactfully like Shi Rouer.

This question suddenly drilled into Su Mi's mind, and her thoughts immediately froze.

Forget it, she shook her head, it's not too late to worry about these things when they really fall on her head, I'm afraid I won't even have the right to choose by then, why bother to start worrying so early.

The banquet in the main hall continued until the evening, when Su Mi finished his shift and returned to the corner room where the servants rested. A handyman who brought charcoal at the door parked the car at their door and was carrying it to the nearby warehouse. with charcoal.

A hint of excitement flashed across Su Mi's eyes.She approached calmly and helped carry it.

The handyman approached her, seeing no one was around, and said in a low voice, "Second Miss, it's ready. Boss Liu and the others will come over the day after tomorrow and present gifts to Liao Junjin. When the time comes..." He quickly passed the formulated Plan to speak out.

Su Mi nodded calmly, and the two of them dispersed unobtrusively after carrying the charcoal.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The goose-feather-like snow fell, covering the palaces and pavilions with silver makeup. The sadness and blood and tears everywhere seemed to be covered by the heavy snow, and the naked blood and cruelty could not be seen.

Su Mi and Xiao Luzi worked together to move a half-person-high purple-gold coiled dragon incense burner into the main hall.

The hall was still full of singing, dancing, feasting and feasting, but there were a group of strangers in the hall.

"...This is just a small thought of us lowly people. I have long admired the majesty of the king, the majesty of the king's martial arts, unparalleled in the world, strategizing, wisdom and bravery, that is not the same. It is a pity that I only hate it The place is too far apart, it is inconvenient to move, and I have never been able to look good. I look forward to it day and night, and now I can be regarded as looking forward to the king's visit to our place, so how can we not express it." A leading middle-aged man said flatteringly, while moving The long offering list in his hand was presented.

Yelvxin took the gift list and looked it over, very satisfied, and said: "You guys are very sensible, although I have an agreement with others not to hurt you, but if all of you are as sensible as your Boss Liu Zhiqu, we can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Su Mi immediately understood that the middle-aged man who spoke was Liu Quan.The group of people in the hall in front of them are naturally big businessmen and wealthy people in Qijing, and now they come to the Liao army camp to express their dedication.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Quan said hastily: "Your Majesty's mighty power is unpredictable. We've actually wanted to come here to pay respects to His Majesty, but we never knew what His Majesty meant. Now we know that Your Majesty is so approachable." , He is really a hero..." He kept praising and giving thumbs up.

The few people following behind were also full of flattery and flattery, and the generals in the palace were already half drunk, and they were even more drunk after listening to their words.Yeluxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, as long as you serve our Liao army honestly, naturally it won't make things difficult for you. What's more, this king has already made an agreement with others."

Su Mi and Xiao Luzi carried the incense burner forward and placed it on the corner of the palace. Su Mi took the opportunity to look around.

Liu Quan and the others had a total of seven or eight people here, and they seemed to be the leaders of major firms in the capital during their conversations.Liu Quansheng in the center has a round face with a slightly plump face, a charming smile, and a rich face. On the left side stands a big man with a beard and an old face. Looking at Su Mi, there was a strange amber light in his eyes.

It's Qi Hao!
Su Mi recognized it immediately.She tried her best to suppress her beating heart, lowered her head, and walked out with Xiao Luzi calmly.

After about half an hour, the simple summons ended, and Liu Quan and his party came out.

There is a row of carts at the door, these are gifts brought by Liu Quan and others to honor the Liao people, they are all precious gold, jade and jewelry, beautiful and curios, piled up like a mountain.

A few servants standing by the car saw their master come out and knew that the matter was finished.Immediately began to move the gifts to the place designated by the Liao army.

When he was about to finish moving, a young servant suddenly slipped his foot and fell to the ground. The big box he was holding in his hand fell down, and unfortunately hit his leg, and he screamed immediately.

Several Liao soldiers nearby burst into laughter.

That little servant was the one brought by Liu Quan, and he suddenly felt ashamed, walked up angrily, and kicked the little servant fiercely, "This idiot who is not good enough, if he throws the king's things If it’s broken, even if you have ten lives, you won’t be able to afford it. Why don’t you get up and work quickly, pretending to be dead!”

The boy struggled a bit, climbed halfway but fell down again, moaning continuously, it seemed that his leg was hurt.Su Mi, who was standing aside, hurried forward, lifted the box for him, and walked towards the warehouse.

Liu Quan kicked the boy again, and kicked him into the car cursingly by the ear.

Although there are many things, they will eventually be moved.After the things are moved, the frame must be rushed back.

This time, each of Liu Quan and the others brought only one servant, who was responsible for driving and carrying the cart. Now Liu Quan's servant broke his leg and was leaning on the cart, grinning, moaning and screaming in pain. If he can't get on, no one will drive his car.

Liu Quan looked at the big cart with embarrassment on his face. Does he want a decent and handsome boss to do the work of these rough servants?Liu Quan couldn't help getting angry, and slapped the boy in the car hard, yelling: "You still dare to shout here? Useless things, do you want me to drive the car to serve you?!"

Several business owners who came with them were also at a loss. They stood there for a while, Liu Quan looked around, suddenly had an idea, trotted quickly, approached a guard Liaojun next to him, and said with a flattering smile: " Military Lord, look, this clumsy idiot brought by the villain broke his leg, and now this car..." He rubbed his hands and asked, "Can you please, Military Lord, send someone to come with me, thank you for being old .” Taking the opportunity, he took out a heavy bag from his bosom and stuffed it into the hands of the Liao army.

The Liao soldier weighed the purse, satisfied with the weight and the sound from it, waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, you are welcome." He looked around and pointed to the nearest small The eunuch shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and help Boss Liu, what are you doing?"

Su Mi immediately obediently walked to the car.

No one was suspicious of such a small episode, and no one came to stop it. No matter what is lacking in this palace, there will be a few little eunuchs.

Su Mi approached the car driver, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Xiao Luzi, who gave her a comforting smile.Su Mi understands that it is just an unrealistic fantasy to rescue all the people in Daqi Palace at this moment.For a simple situation like the one in front of her, various forces outside the palace had been mobilized and carefully arranged so that she could be rescued so naturally.Fortunately, Xiao Luzi is smart, and judging from the current situation, his life will not be in danger for the time being.

Su Mi forced herself to relax and tried her best to keep calm.She sat next to the boy who unfortunately broke his leg, and drove the car forward amidst Liu Quan's yelling.

Su Mi also tried to drive a car once or twice before, it was just for fun when she was a child.At this time, she was holding the whip tightly, and under the whisper of the servant beside her, she seemed to be doing well.

When he approached the gate of the palace, he saw the Liao army guarding the gate. Liu Quan stepped forward to explain cleverly, and the money in his hand did not stop. Boss Liu was not in the slightest embarrassment, and readily let the group wait out of the palace.
