If someone looks carefully at these crows at this time, they will find that when they flap their wings, there is a tiny amount of invisible powder falling from between their feathers.
"Don't come here! Don't come here at all!" Xiangju screamed while waving her hands, but her screams did not stop the crows who were going crazy after smelling the fragrance of lily of the valley. What made Xiangju even more desperate was that
, there were more and more crows surrounding her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw nothing but darkness.
Just when Xiangju was shocked, in pain, and at a loss, Mao Gui's urgent voice came from behind, "Xiangju, come here quickly."
Yes, as long as she entered the house, everything would be fine. Thinking of this, Xiangju protected her face and turned around with difficulty and walked towards the Silingjiaohuamen not far away. It was only seven short steps from where she stood to the threshold.
It was only eight steps, but to Xiangju, it was as far as seven feet or even seventy feet. Every step was accompanied by a headache all over the body, especially those claws, which felt severe pain even through clothes.
When Xiangju was still three or four steps away from the threshold, more and more crows gathered and spotted Wei Jingxuan and Wei Jingxuan standing in the house. They immediately gave up Xiangju and rushed toward them. Mao Gui knew that driving them away would make them more angry.
Crazy, but in this situation, if I don't drive him away, I'm afraid he will suffer the same fate as Xiangju.
He casually grabbed the duster placed on the small table and waved it vigorously. By chance, he actually swung the duster onto the crow's wings, and immediately hit it to the ground, unable to fly.
Mao Gui was only proud for a moment, and then he was surrounded by horror. The emperors of the past dynasties regarded these crows as sacred crows and strictly prohibited anyone from driving them away or harming them. Now...he injured a crow. If anyone knew about it, he would only be punished.
I'm afraid this little life can't be saved.
While Mao Gui was still panicking about hurting the crow, Wei Jingxuan's sharp and harsh voice came to his ears, "Close the door quickly! Hurry!"
When Mao Gui raised his head, he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end. A large group of crows spread their dark wings and flew toward them, covering the sky and the sun. They made an unpleasant hissing sound and spread their sharp claws.
It seemed like it was going to tear them apart.
Wei Jingxuan's sharp voice came again, "What are you still doing standing there? Close the door quickly!"
Mao Gui came to his senses and said awkwardly: "But Qiu Ju hasn't come in yet!"
Wei Jingxuan didn't even look at Qiu Ju, who was struggling to move this way, and said sternly: "If we don't close the door, it will be too late. Do you think we are all like her, surrounded by crows and bitten by crows?!"
While he was talking, several crows flew up, pecking and scratching. The pain made Mao Gui gasp. The pain also made Mao Gui determined. When Xiang Ju had two steps left, he closed the door with all his strength.
He stood up, causing the group of crows who were unable to stop themselves to hit the door.
Xiangju never expected that they would close the door behind her and let herself be bitten by the crows. She moved her steps hard and finally touched the door. She endured the pain all over her body and kept banging on the door, "Master, open the door.
Mao Gui, open the door and let me in! Please, let me in!"
Mao Gui heard Xiang Ju's pleading through the door, and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, they had been together for so many years, and they still had some feelings for each other. He tentatively said: "Master, why don't you..."
He had just said a few words when Wei Jingxuan said in a cold voice: "If you want to die, just go out and I won't stop you."
After being scolded by her, Mao Gui did not dare to say any more, so he could only say through the door: "Xiangju, there is a wing next to her, you go there and hide."
"I can't live... ah!" Before Xiangju could finish her words, she let out a scream because her back was scratched by a crow. She cried and begged: "Master, please see that I have always served you and never failed.
For your sake, please open the door and let me in, if this continues, I will die!"
No matter how Xiangju begged, the door was always closed tightly with no sign of opening. Wei Jingxuan's ruthlessness made Xiangju angry and desperate. She knew that Wei Jingxuan was ruthless and would never be soft on her enemies for her own benefit, but she
I never imagined that she would be so ruthless to the people around her, almost worse than an animal.
Wei Jingxuan, I have spent all these years serving you in vain. It would be fine if I died today. Otherwise, all the scandals you have done must be exposed. If the emperor knows that you killed Concubine Yi Min, seduced Guard Li, and committed adultery in the palace,
, will definitely kill you immediately!
Xiangju swore this oath bitterly in her heart, and then walked hard to the right. As Mao Gui said, there was a wing there for her to take shelter. Fortunately, many crows were attracted by Wei Jingxuan and the others.
Otherwise, she might not be able to take even one step.
The crazy crows did not stop because Mao Gui closed the door, and kept banging against the door with their bodies. On the other side of the door, Wei Jingxuan and Mao Gui looked at the closed door in fear, although the crows could not break it open and tie it up.
door, but every impact will cause the four doors to shake slightly.
Mao Gui said in a trembling voice: "Master, what is going on? Why do those crows attack people like crazy? I have been in the palace for several years. Although there are more crows every year, this is the first time this has happened."
Looking back, did you... hit something evil?!" He knew this was a bit ridiculous to ask, but other than that, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
Wei Jingxuan stared at the shadows of crows dancing on the window paper and said word by word: "It's not about evil, it's... the fragrance of lily of the valley!"
"Lily of the valley fragrance..." Mao Gui murmured and repeated, doubtfully: "It sounds like a kind of spice, can it actually make crows go crazy?" Before Wei Jingxuan could answer, he seemed to have thought of something again and blurted out.
: "But the spices that I found in the harem courtyard before?"
"That's right." Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Don't underestimate the spices. There is a lot of knowledge in them. But I didn't know that the fragrance of lily of the valley can not only make butterflies go crazy, but also crows!"
Mao Gui said in disbelief: "I have never heard of such a weird spice. Besides...how could such a thing suddenly appear in our palace?"
Wei Jingxuan snorted coldly: "You still have to ask, there must be someone who doesn't see our peace and wants to cause trouble."
Mao Gui rolled his eyes and said, "Master, are you talking about the queen?"
"Who else could be there besides her!" Wei Jingxuan walked slowly to the door that was constantly vibrating and gritted her teeth: "She is also capable and can actually find rare spices like lily of the valley, but she wants to
My life is not enough!"
Mao Gui said flatteringly: "The master is a good person and a good person. How can he be harmed by the queen's shady methods? It is just the same as before, in vain."
