At nightfall, a figure sneaked up to the back door of Lingyuan. The night made her figure look even weirder. The man looked around defensively, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he opened the door gently and walked out quietly.
The black figure went outside and shuttled between the palace walls. Her appearance seemed very abrupt in the peaceful night. The figure stopped at a gate with "Mo Palace" written on it.
I looked around defensively, then opened the back door and walked in. The door squeaked shut softly.
After a while, I saw the light in a wing inside was on.
"What's going on?"
It turned out to be the room where Zoya lived. She stood up and put on her coat and asked about the arriving figure. Under the candlelight, she saw a pretty girl. Who was that girl if she wasn't in Ling'er Cemetery during the day?
"Is such that."
The girl looked at the girl following not far behind her, and hesitated slightly. Then she stepped forward and whispered to her, and then respectfully stepped away.
"Is there such a thing?"
She raised her eyebrows in obvious surprise and asked. Zoya sat on a stool on the side with a cold and arrogant expression.
"Absolutely true."
Stared at by her sharp eyes, the girl lowered her head and answered honestly.
"Very good. I didn't expect that she is really sensible and knows how to wink. Okay, you go down first. Otherwise, it's over without being discovered. Continue to monitor her and report to me immediately if there is any movement."
Zoya frowned and thought for a moment. She smiled disdainfully. She looked at the girl and said, asking her to go back.
"Yes," the girl responded obediently to Zoya's words. Then she walked out under the guidance of a girl. After she left, the night became silent again.
"Miss." The girl who sent her away came back and saw Zoya stomping slowly with a thoughtful look on her face. She unconsciously asked with concern.
"That woman seems to be really important in the king's heart. All the ministers interceded for Mr. Mei, which made things even more tense. With a few simple words from her, the king agreed to let Mr. Mei go. Do you have any idea about this matter?
What do you think?"
Turning around and looking at the girl with a strange face, Zoya folded her arms and spoke openly, asking her what she thought.
"Well, it's hard to say. She may be doing this because she's afraid of incurring public anger, or she may be trying to win people's hearts. Or maybe she wants to let Mr. Mei go on the surface, and then work behind the scenes to eliminate hidden dangers."
The girl was a little hesitant when she looked straight into her eyes. But she still raised her head and boldly analyzed it. She said it was possible.
"Then what do you think is most likely? Will an ordinary woman react like this when she incurs everyone's anger? The king is a noble person. If he really uses his power to marry her as his queen against everyone's wishes, it is not impossible. But it is not impossible.
It can only show the majesty of the king again. What can you say, ministers? It's just that under the power, they dare to be angry and dare not speak out. As long as she becomes the queen, what can those people do to her? But she dealt with this in the opposite way.
One thing. Mr. Mei was a veteran of the Nine Dynasties, and his words represented the wishes of most of the subjects. Now she takes the initiative to compromise, how can the king's face bear it? More importantly, she lives in the palace with no status. She is not afraid of someone plotting against her.
, but suddenly let go when dealing with one’s enemies. Isn’t this causing trouble for oneself?”
Seeing the girl like this, Suo Ya really couldn't understand Ling'er's intentions. She felt that she was a vain woman. After getting the king's favor, she should be more domineering. But the way she handled the matter really confused her.
"Well, it's hard to say. Maybe she was just showing off on the surface and framed Mr. Mei behind his back. Or maybe she let Mr. Mei go for the time being, and later she was trying to frame Mr. Mei behind his back."
The girl was also stunned by Zoya's analysis. After thinking about it for a moment, she said obediently and guessed the possibility.
"Well, it's very possible. That ambitious and vain woman. Since she has been favored by the king, all fools know the importance of establishing her own position and establishing her own prestige. She must have ulterior motives for doing this. It seems that Mei Lao's matter
When the old man is released, we have to remind him. Otherwise, he won’t even know he was bribed or framed.”
Zoya nodded affirmatively and said, frowning and analyzing. The night was originally very peaceful, but this incident gradually opened the beginning of Ling'er's extraordinary experience in the Snake Palace.
The Mei Mansion was also very unstable that day. At ten o'clock in the night, Mr. Mei was released. From the time he came out to now, he has been silent and full of thoughts.
In the back garden of Mei Mansion, Mr. Mei was sitting under the pavilion, staring blankly at the moonlight above his head. He held a wine glass in his hand.
"Grandpa," a crisp voice woke up the meditative old man. Under the moonlight, a pretty and tall beauty stood not far in front of him, accompanied by two girls.
The old man came back to his senses and saw the woman. A pleased smile appeared on his face.
"Yao'er, are you still up so late? Are you thinking about something?"
Looking at his granddaughter, the old man came back to his senses and asked with a chuckle. He still picked up the wine glass in his hand and put it in his mouth.
"If I have anything to worry about, it's your fault, grandpa. If you're not in good health, don't drink so much. If you have anything to worry about, tell Yao'er. It'll be much easier if you have one more person to share the burden with."
The woman named Mei Yao is really Mei Yao, and she is also the only other person with the surname Mei in the Mei family. Mr. Mei's son and daughter-in-law died early. He was the only one left, and he worked hard to raise the only granddaughter. It can be said that he is a grandson.
The two are dependent on each other.
Mei Yao said, sitting aside and looking at the old man asking with concern.
"Hey, have you heard about what happened in the snake world today?"
Seeing his granddaughter asking thoughtfully, the old man hesitated slightly. He still sighed and looked at his granddaughter and asked in a low voice.
"I heard from my servant that the king came back this time and brought back a foreign woman. What's wrong, grandpa? What happened today that the king wants to imprison you?"
Seeing her grandpa like this, Mei Yao felt helpless for a moment. She still looked at her grandpa boldly and asked. After asking, she lowered her head and said nothing. Obviously, this girl had heard about it a long time ago. She just had no master. Only now that she could see her grandpa could she understand her doubts.
"Alas, the king not only allowed the woman to live in the Baihua Valley, he even changed it to the Spiritual Garden according to the woman's name and gave it to her. At the same time, he summoned the ministers to make the woman his queen."
Hearing his granddaughter's low voice, the old man sighed. After watching her finish speaking, he raised his head and swallowed the wine in his hand.
"Is this happening? Did grandpa make Wang angry just to get him to stop being emotional?"
Mei Yao was shocked when she heard what her grandfather said. Thinking about her grandfather being imprisoned, she consciously thought of all the possibilities.
"Yes! I persuaded you bluntly, but the king not only refused to listen, but was furious and imprisoned me. He said that no one could visit me without his will. This led your grandpa Dai and old uncle Wang to intercede. I thought grandpa would be imprisoned.
There is no end to my detention. But I know it was the human woman who begged the king for me, and the king let me go. Tell me, is this human woman a blessing or a disaster to our snake world?"
The old man said with experience. He told his granddaughter the truth. Thinking about what happened today, he couldn't help but sigh and murmured questions.
"Blessing? Disaster? Grandpa, there has never been a foreign race in the snake world, let alone a human being. Human beings and our snake family are natural enemies. How can there be such a statement about her arrival?"
Mei Yao obviously didn't understand the truth about Grandpa's words. She stood up strangely and asked. It was obvious that she was also very repulsive to outsiders and things.
"Yes. Although she is a human woman, she is not an ordinary human woman. Because she can drive the snake-shaped hairpin and remove the poison from the king. This is because the hairpin chose her. The king can finally come back safely, which is our blessing.
The blessing of the snake world. It allowed the snake world to finally settle down, and it also prevented Silver Snake from causing trouble in the snake world. But she is a human woman after all. There was an ancient legend that humans and snakes cannot fall in love, otherwise there will be trouble.
endless."
Regarding his granddaughter's incomprehension, Mr. Mei sighed and told her these things. Then he remained silent.
"Is there such a thing? Is the king's attitude very firm?"
After listening to her grandfather's words, Mei Yao felt a hint of sadness on her face. A majestic but tall and handsome man appeared in her mind. Who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Feng?
Thinking about grandpa's words, he became even more nervous. He asked grandpa for the man's reaction without hesitation.
"The king was very determined and insisted on marrying her and making her his queen. General Liu strongly opposed this matter, and he was beheaded in a rage. No one in the entire court dared to say a word, not Old Wang.
My uncle is here in person. I’m afraid the king has already decreed to make that woman his queen.”
She didn't understand why her granddaughter was nervous, but the old man still sighed and said to her.
"Uncle Wang stopped Wang's behavior? So he has decided not to ban the woman?"
Grandpa's silence made Mei Yao even more helpless. However, she still accepted his questions.
"No. As you know, old Uncle Wang has stopped doing state affairs for a long time. Now that the court is tense, he must have heard from someone and showed up. But he asked the king about the snake-shaped hairpin.
I won’t say more about the matter. I just asked the king to think twice before acting. Then he left. The king later ordered that the matter be suspended and no one should mention it again. The early court ended unhappy like this."
The old man drank another glass of wine and murmured, drinking silently.
"Grandpa, let's do our best to do these things. That woman's identity is unusual after all. It's best to just wait and see what happens. We'll see what everyone says then. If you don't want to talk about it now, don't mention it."
Seeing her grandfather like this, Mei Yao had no choice but to persuade her grandfather. She also drank wine with the old man. In the large courtyard, the grandfather and grandson were filled with worries and their heads were sullen, thinking about their worries.
Seeing the sadness of the grandfather across from her, Mei Yao couldn't express her feelings. She is the only daughter of the Mei family. She is a good sister to Grandpa Dai's granddaughter Xianzi (who is also another elder in the Snake World). She even has a good relationship with her.
There is Zoya. But they don’t have Zoya’s ability and skills. They are ladies of the family, and Zoya is the king’s right-hand assistant and good friend.
The three of them are called the Three Flowers of the Snake World. Of course, each of them is beautiful and has a distinguished status. Only the three of them are the recognized candidates for the future queen of the Snake World. When she realized this, Mei Yao's heart was already given to her.
That cold-blooded man. They just didn't expect that their hard expectations would lead to such a result.
He came back with a foreign woman, and even imprisoned his grandfather in order to make the woman his queen. Although she didn't understand why the woman let her grandfather go, she, Mei Yao, remembered the humiliation and resentment. First, she wanted to avenge her grandfather's suffering.
Humiliation and alienation, the second is for the man you love.
