Ting went home to freshen up, sat on a chair and said angrily, "Everyone in this palace is more cruel than the last."
(8 Cold Fight 2
Lan Ting wiped his face with a cotton towel, threw it back to the maid, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, all the women in the palace are like this. Even if you die, you won't let others live a good life."
He sat next to her and held her in his arms, hugging her tightly, "Don't be afraid, I have arranged everything. I will go there in person that day and I will definitely keep you safe."
Manmei sighed, this is all she can do now.
A few days before departure, Manmei was packing her clothes for the day.
Underneath the skirt, she wore clothes that were easy to move around. The material she wore was made of satin, which would break when pulled. Her hair was also combed very simply, with an uncomplicated style that would not affect her movements. She didn’t wear any jewelry, so she just wore it.
I bought a wide-handled hairpin with pearl Zan.
The pearl is secondary, the front half of the hairpin has normal carved patterns, and the part inserted in the hair is a small and sharp dagger, which can definitely have miraculous effects if taken unexpectedly.
Manmei wasn't too worried, so she brought some chili powder, which can be used to enchant eyes, in her sachet, just to put her mind at ease.
Lan Ting saw her walking around the room, taking one thing with her now and another with her. He laughed loudly and said, "You can feel at ease if you wear armor."
Man Miao glared at him and said, "Be careful with your ship. Who knows if your emperor would rather abandon my mother and wife than kill us."
Lan Ting nodded in agreement, "A man has three things to enjoy. If he gets promoted and gets rich, his wife will die. If he can't get promoted and get rich, it would be better for his wife to die."
After all, Lan Ting had prepared everything for her, even the golden silk armor.
The gold silk armor is made of gold and silver alloy and is very thin to the touch. It protects the stomach, chest and back like a vest, similar to ancient bulletproof vests.
"This gold armor is invulnerable. I sent two of them to the palace, and you can wear the remaining one too." Manmiao took the piece of clothing, looked at him and said worriedly, "You gave me the clothes, what did you do?
What to do? You want to fight, don’t you think they won’t kill you?”
"You have to have some confidence in men. I can make you rely on me. Don't worry all the time when you see me. Am I so unreliable?" Lan Ting said dissatisfied, "I have my own armor, which is better than yours."
Silk armor is much better, but it’s just too thick for women to wear.”
Only then did Manmei put on her clothes with confidence.
Because they had to sneak up the mountain in advance to make preparations, Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun had to go take a look in advance. They took advantage of the darkness to scout the place in advance, arranged the manpower to lurk, and then came down the mountain to prepare to take them up the mountain together.
She felt relieved when she saw Huangfu Xun coming to take Lan Ting out. Both of them were wearing armor to protect their vital parts.
I don’t know what excuse Lan Ting found to stay at home.
If she were the emperor, she would definitely detain Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun in the palace so that they would not be able to respond in time.
I don't know what the emperor was thinking, but he actually let Lan Ting stay outside the palace, giving him plenty of time to move around.
As a court lady, she must wait at the gate of the mountain before the nobles in the palace arrive. She can only follow the nobles when they enter the temple.
Manmiao took the book and read it in the carriage. It wasn't until someone informed that the dignitaries had arrived that she got out of the car and knelt down to greet them.
Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Huangfu were very kind to her. As soon as they saw her, Concubine Huangfu invited her to get on her sedan chair and sit together. Empress Dowager Xu and Empress Dowager Xu were left behind to get angry.
Then Song Ying would not be treated like Huangfu Jin. She could only kneel down and wait for Queen Xu to walk past her arrogantly, wishing she could break her silver teeth.
Manmei failed to appreciate Song Ying's wonderful expression, otherwise she would have stepped forward and stepped on her hard.
The inner courtyard was the place she had entered before. Abbot Shikong had opened a special hall that only allowed the royal family to enter. Manmiao took a careful look before stepping in. The imperial guards surrounded the place, and the monks were all far away in the outer courtyard. Here
If something happens, no one will hear you even if you shout at the top of your lungs.
The guards and maids brought in by Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Huangfu were surrounded by several imperial guards. It was expected that they would be silenced at the first opportunity.
She helped Princess Huangfu into the main hall, and the moment she stepped through the door, she clearly felt that Princess Huangfu's body stiffened.
It seems that he is still scared.
Although Manmiao was also scared, she still managed to cheer up and comforted Princess Huangfu in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, aunt. My cousin has arranged everything. Just treat it like a show."
Princess Huangfu noticed that she had lost her composure. She thought that she was an elder and could not show timidity in front of the younger generation. She straightened her back and said gracefully and gracefully, "That's natural. If I can't even trust him, how can I still trust him?"
who?"
Empress Dowager Liu also heard a few words from the front, and turned around and smiled at them both, her comfort clearly evident.
Following closely behind them were two maids brought by the Queen Mother from the palace, all dressed as female officials. Although Manmei saw that the female officials were holding things, there were calluses between the tiger's mouths of their hands.
It was prepared deliberately by a noble man.
On the other hand, Queen Mother Xu and Queen Xu, the female officials around them walked very gracefully, but they didn't look like they were skilled at anything.
Either these two noble men of the Xu family are superb at acting, or they really don't know. They look vaguely impatient, but not at all nervous or afraid.
Manmei couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that the emperor was really willing to let his wife die here together?
The new abbot Shi Kong was already standing in front of the Buddhist altar.
Even though she knew that the matter was fraudulent, Empress Dowager Liu still knelt down in front of the Buddha statue very devoutly, presented the Ksitigarbha Sutra that she had copied by herself, placed it upright on the Buddhist altar, and then began to offer incense and worship the Buddha.
After she finished praying, Princess Huangfu also went up to offer incense and kowtow, and said to Manmiao, "Jin'er, come here and pray with my aunt."
Manmiao didn't want to kneel down after Song Ying, so she took this opportunity to burn incense and kowtow first.
Princess Huangfu naturally prayed that her son would win the battle.
What Manmei prayed for was that she could return to her home and stop living outside like this.
After she helped Princess Huangfu stand up, she heard shouts of death coming from outside.
This was expected. The two empresses and queens were very calm. They stood up calmly and looked at the closed door. The maids they brought quickly surrounded the three of them. Although they did not reveal their weapons,
As soon as you put on the posture, you can tell that everyone has their own kung fu.
On the other hand, Queen Mother Xu and Queen Xu's side, the female officials were as frightened as their masters. Some of them were holding on to their masters calmly, while the rest were shaking into a ball and could not stand up straight.
"How dare you come to assassinate me at this time!" Empress Dowager Liu said with great force, pointing to the door and commanding, "Go! Open the door, I want to see who dares to kill me!"
