Chapter 135
Uprising
Author: Feng Si Niang
When Xiao Zimei appeared at the door of the Tenth Prince's Mansion with simple but elegant makeup, there was indeed a carriage with the seal of Prince Xiaoqin's Mansion waiting at the door.
The body of the car is made of black silk, which cannot be blown by the wind; the four tall horses are fat and strong, arranged quietly and uniformly; when you get closer, you can see that the wood used to build the car still has a faint woody aroma.
Xiao Zimei lifted her clothes and asked someone to help her get into the low-key and luxurious carriage in a graceful manner. This was how she should look when traveling.
After she got on the carriage, the space in the carriage was enough to accommodate several people, and the furnishings inside were even smaller than a sparrow.
She seemed to have recovered from her injuries. She hummed a tune and took down a tea can from the grid on the wall of the carriage. She used the hot water that had been boiling on the stove to make tea for herself. There were many snacks, daily clothes, etc. on the shelf.
spare things;
Then Xiao Zimei took out another book, and the content made her eyes light up:
It was an overseas bibliography, and the reading order was from left to right after more than ten years. At first glance, it was a bit unaccustomed to it.
She knocked on the wall of the car, and the sound of wheels squealing could be heard, but the inside of the car was still as peaceful as lying on the clouds. Xiao Zimei lay down and read books leisurely in the fragrance of tea.
After a while, she fell asleep; about halfway through the journey, the car stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zimei rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the slightest movement woke her up.
"Reporting to Concubine Xiao, the Crown Prince asked me to wait for another lady~" the servant serving outside replied softly.
It's okay to hitchhike... It's okay. I just happen to be able to catch a ride with the ladies in Beijing in advance...
Or maybe it was because the servant simply removed the word "side", which made Xiao Zimei feel very good.
"It's okay, I think I will have a nice chat with Madam..."
Before he could even finish his words, the door curtain had already been lifted, and a burst of summer heat came in, causing the entire carriage to freeze three feet in an instant.
The smile on Xiao Zimei's face also faded, but she continued to carry hot water and pour a cup of tea for the lady opposite.
As soon as the sound of water pouring out of the tea soup passed, all that was moving inside the carriage was the water vapor floating on the tea set.
Neither of them spoke.
Because the woman who came up was the mother of Du Weilan, the concubine of the tenth prince, and the imperial wife of the current Minister of Dali Temple. Mrs. Du was also the mother.
It seems that Mrs. Prince Xiaoqin thought that the person from the tenth prince's house should be Du Weilan, so she planned in advance to arrange the mother and daughter together.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the change, and the two of them got together and became the most embarrassing co-passengers.
Neither of them took the initiative to speak, only the monotonous sound of the wheels moving forward steadily.
After Mrs. Du got in the car, she not only ignored Xiao Zimei's tea, but also ignored her as a person. She straightened her body and squinted her eyes, never looking at Xiao Zimei.
Xiao Zimei curled her lips, and soon her cold face would turn into her daughter's heartbroken and crying face!...
After walking all the way in silence, the carriage finally stopped, and immediately a mother-in-law came forward to help Mrs. Du and Xiao Zimei. The night of the first day of the new year was particularly dark, and the mother-in-law silently held a lantern to lead the way.
Mrs. Du and Xiao Zimei walked up the stone steps leading to Baoguo Temple one after another. The wasteland beside the stone steps was covered with pine trees. Standing on a high place and looking down, they looked like scarecrows standing silently in the endless farmland.
, paying attention to them all the time.
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Xiao Zimei's heart. She couldn't tell what the source of this feeling was, but she had an almost beast-like intuition——
She couldn't help but slow down her pace. She heard her heartbeat beating like a drum in her ears, and her nose was filled with the smell of pine tree grease, which was also mixed with the smell of some lamp oil——
Xiao Zimei's thoughts were racing, and she hurriedly lifted her skirt with her hands and raised her legs to run into the pine forest——
Soon enough, as soon as she made a move to escape, there was a heavy blow on the back of her head...
"Ah! -" Xiao Zimei let out a short scream, unable to control the movement of her body's center of gravity, and threw herself into the forest covered with pine needles.
"Hiss! -" She tremblingly raised her hand that was pricked with holes by pine needles, and rubbed the sore back of her head just now, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.
This is the most embarrassing time she's been in since time travel!
The struggle inside the mansion has always been about hiding needles and killing without showing blood. When has there ever been such real swords and guns and sticks?
Even when Concubine Long plotted against her, she suffered severe abdominal pain, but she still managed to save her life on the luxurious and decent carved bed!...
Mrs. Du held the lamp pole connected to the lantern expressionlessly, and continued to poke Xiao Zimei on the back with an expressionless expression, hearing her yell.
Concubine Long had said that this bitch's life would be left to her to handle personally, so she could only collect some interest in advance. But if it was just a wooden pole to hold a lamp, it would be too cheap for this femme fatale!
Mrs. Du watched coldly as Xiao Zimei bowed her body in pain, her white and tender hands sinking deeply into the ground covered with pine needles to use her strength to crawl forward, and finally walked up to her:
"Concubine Xiao, if you want to be a queen, you better stop dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams!" As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Du raised her leg and kicked Xiao Zimei hard in the face -
Xiao Zimei was shocked and tried her best to protect her face, but she was still kicked so hard that stars appeared in her eyes and she fell into a coma...
Concubine Long looked at the torch made of pine branches in the treasury and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

Fang Tong didn't touch aphrodisiac for a while, and he felt a tingling sensation in his bones——
His body felt hot and cold, and he felt like he was swinging. He asked his subordinates: "What time is it?"
"Didn't you hear that just now? The watchman just shouted, it's midnight..." That's midnight, exactly the time they agreed!
Fang Tong was the first to mount his horse, and drew out the sword from his waist. The double-edged sword reflected light like blue frost and purple lightning, which shone in the eyes of every soldier behind him——
Suddenly, a slender bolt of lightning tore through the sky, briefly illuminating the dark capital city: houses as silent as tombs, busy neighborhoods, and city walls as black as iron—
As if in anticipation of rain, the sporadic footsteps running on the street became more and more hurried, and the sound of horse hooves from the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division during night patrols also began to become more and more impatient.
Immediately afterwards, thunder exploded and the voice of shouting resounded in the ears: "Brothers, charge with me! Qingjun side, kill the demon concubine, and guard the stability of the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The first one to break through the city gate will receive a reward of one hundred taels! The first person to capture Concubine Long will receive a reward of one thousand taels!"
Chapter completed!
