emperor cold concubine

Chapter 49 Haotian Hall
With 99 steps and 99 palace lanterns to guide the way, Cang Yuexiao walked for three hours with breath. Only those who have personally walked through it can deeply understand it, and then give birth to an indescribable awe.

At this moment, in Cang Yuexiao's heart, she had temporarily forgotten the pain of her mother's feud, and her heart was full of curiosity and admiration, as well as a little apprehension, towards the owner of Haotian Palace behind the stone steps.

He thought, the owner of the Haotian Temple must be a highly respected and respected outsider, or an important person in power in the royal family, or maybe a martial arts master who sees through the world. In short, staying alone in a place unknown to others must be It is for quietness, or is practicing in seclusion, and does not want to be disturbed by others.

Cang Yuexiao couldn't stop thinking about how to make this master "senior" willing to reach out to rescue his sister.However, when he really stepped into the Haotian Palace, he never expected that the owner of the Haotian Palace he saw was just a——

Haotian Palace is just a very ordinary palace, the layout is almost the same as the palace where the concubine lived in the harem, the only difference is that there are a few pieces of stones with strange colors and shapes messily placed outside his palace courtyard, and these few A stone blocked Cang Yuexiao outside for nearly two hours, no matter how he walked, the scene in front of him was always the same, it seemed that he stayed in the same place all the time.

Looking back, the way he came from has long since disappeared, and at this moment, he is staying in this pile of stones, unable to get in or get out.Thinking of the "formation" that he occasionally mentioned in the book when he was reading on weekdays, he knew that the stones that trapped him at this moment might be a magical formation.

Without wasting too much time, Cang Yuexiao adopted the most direct and effective method. For the first time in his life, he let go of his throat and shouted: "Excuse me, is this the Haotian Palace? Owner."

There was no response, but in the silence, there was a leisurely and empty sound of the qin, ethereal, it sounded close to the ears, but also seemed far away in the sky, Cang Yuexiao waited for a moment, and wanted to open his throat to shout again, in the sound of the qin, a A slightly immature voice rang out, so clear that it seemed to be right next to my ears, with a hint of mockery and a kind of domineering arrogance in my voice: "A small nine-stone formation that this king picked up at random is all If you can’t break it, what qualifications do you have to ask to see the master of Haotian Palace?”

Cang Yuexiao was stunned for a moment, and then felt ashamed, it was in vain that he thought he had read the Four Books and Five Classics, and learned a lot, but he never took some strange things in his heart, thinking that those things would be of no use, but he really did. It takes time to regret it.

I didn't know how to answer the question, but at this time the immature voice sounded again, it didn't seem to embarrass him, "Move the green stone in front of you and put it behind you, move the purple one on the left and put it on the right , go forward and take two steps back when encountering the river."

Cang Yuexiao remained silent, and just followed the instructions. After taking two steps, a small river that was not wide appeared in front of her. After taking two steps, the scene in front of her eyes changed, and a rushing waterfall appeared. The white water flowed down endlessly, with cliffs on both sides of the water flow, and at a glance, non-human beings could pass through.

The immature voice resounded amidst the ethereal and empty zither sound, saying: "Go over."

Cang Yuexiao paused in her footsteps, raised her eyes and saw that there were huge rocks, steep rocks, and fast-flowing water, how could she walk over it?
"Do it, don't make me repeat it again." There was a faint command tone in the voice.

Taking a deep breath, Cang Yuexiao closed her eyes, suppressed the slight uneasiness in her heart, no longer hesitated, and walked over. She thought that the rushing water would soon hit her, but she didn't expect it, her feet were still like stepping on the ground. The ground is generally flat, without any trace of water.

After walking more than ten steps, Cang Yuexiao opened his eyes and saw that there were no waterfalls and cliffs. A palace with a very simple appearance stood in front of him. Nine solemn and ancient white marble pillars on both sides supported the long corridor. The smooth mirror-like black crystal floor tiles extend from the feet to the depths of the palace. The overall structure of the main hall not far away is not too different from the other palaces of the emperor. It is not even as luxurious as other palaces, and it is not magnificent, but it is from the bottom of the heart. Exuding dignity and domineering.

A crystal-clear white jade qin was placed horizontally next to the second pillar on the left. A young man in his early ten years was sitting behind the qin, playing with his fingers leisurely, with a focused expression and a cold and distant expression. He was dressed in silk snow. The clothes set off the handsome and refined eyebrows of a young man who is as picturesque as a fairy boy.

Shocked by the rare and peerless appearance of the young man, Cang Yuexiao was stunned again, the ethereal sound of the zither echoed in her ears, making it unbearable to disturb her.However, remembering that she had something to do, she didn't dare to delay any longer, cleared her throat, Cang Yuexiao politely performed court etiquette, and said: "Shame on Xiao, thank you for pointing the way just now, young master. Excuse me, this place is Hao Temple of Heaven?"

The young man who was playing did not raise his head, and said indifferently: "If not, what are you doing here?"

Choked, Cang Yue kept silent, not unhappy, and then asked: "Then the master of the Haotian Palace, I wonder if he is here at this time?"

The boy said: "What are you looking for him for?"

Cang Yuexiao's face darkened, thinking of her mother who had never seen her for the last time until her death, and her fateful younger sister, she was deeply saddened, and said in a low voice: "I came to him because I wanted to ask him for help."

"Save whose life?" The sound of the piano turned from ethereal to nothingness, as if everything around it stopped instantly, and the young man's voice always carried a faint, mocking contempt for everything, and everything he knew but had nothing to do with himself. Indifferently, "Save yourself, or the woman named Yu Biao'er who was betrothed to the eunuch, or the owner of Xiaoyue Palace, Concubine Yue Gui?"

If it was normal, the careful Cang Yue Xiao would definitely feel that this kind of demeanor should not have appeared on such a young boy.But at this time, he no longer has the extra energy to disperse on other things, and he doesn't even have time to think about why this young man knows about Yu Biao'er and Concubine Yue.

"There is nothing wrong with it." The young man cut off his hope with a blank expression, "This king is not interested in saving people, especially women."

This king? Cang Yuexiao did not ignore his self-proclaim this time, his heart skipped a beat, with a bit of disbelief, "You... are the master of this Haotian Palace?"

The young man glanced at him indifferently, "Concubine Yue Gui is sure to die, so there is no need to bother to save her. Just an hour ago, your sister tried to assassinate the queen to avenge her mother, but she was already ruined by several guards, and she was later charged with regicide. Murong Qing ordered people to throw him into the pond, if he was lucky, he might have passed away by now."

What……?
Cang Yuexiao only felt his eyes darken, and he had no time to tell whether the boy's words were true or not, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, the successive blows made this 16-year-old boy who had never experienced much in the world unable to bear it, and his body shook Shaking, fell to the ground.

The young man who played just glanced at it indifferently, and did not pay too much attention to it, but gradually, there seemed to be something more in the sound of the piano.

After a short time, Cang Yuexiao woke up faintly, lying on the cold black crystal floor tiles, the young man's heart was almost filled with despair, that girl who was in her twenties had never contended with the world, even if fate never She has no complaints or dissatisfaction at all.Why, those people, treat her like this?
To be ruined by several guards, for a woman, it is more painful than death! Hechi, Hechi, Cang Yuexiao's heart ached uncontrollably, and a strand of blood spilled out of the corner of her mouth again.

"If you lie comfortably on the ground, I don't mind letting you lie here forever." The cold voice was the unique tone of a young man playing the piano. Cang Yuexiao was stunned for a moment, suddenly not knowing how to react, maybe this time For him, death is the best relief.

Pain, headache, heartache, all limbs and veins were in severe pain, Cang Yuexiao's face was pale with pain, the ethereal piano sound suddenly pierced into every part of the body sharply like a talisman, bringing unspeakable pain, Touching every inch of her body over and over again, Cang Yuexiao's body twitched in pain, almost trembling all over the floor.

Suffering soberly, clearly feeling the severe pain caused by every nerve, and the fear caused by the pain that the body can hardly bear, has the jade bracelet thrown into the pool ever felt so clearly? Countless venomous snakes burrowing into every part of the body bring great pain and fear, is it hard to die?!
"I... I was wrong..." Cang Yuexiao finally spoke out with difficulty, the cold sweat on his forehead almost blinded his eyes, he couldn't die yet.Mother's death, Yu Zhuan'er's pain, at this moment, turned into deep-seated hatred, he must personally send those beasts to the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reborn!
The sound of the zither echoed in a circle, and finally gradually stopped, and the pain gradually eased. Cang Yuexiao, who was drenched in cold sweat, felt as if she had just walked back from the fiery torture at the gate of hell, and shed a layer of flesh. , reborn and reborn.

"My king will leave here tomorrow, and I need a servant who can do trivial things by my side..."

"I am willing." Before he could finish speaking, he got up from the ground, Cang Yue Xiao quietly looked at the young man sitting in front of him, at least four or five years younger than himself, but even if he sat still, he couldn't hide his awe. The man's majesty, which he only showed a little earlier, has already told him the unfathomable and merciless methods of this young man.

Slavery? What is it? At this moment, as far as he is concerned, there is nothing he cannot accept.

The young man looked at him, his expression still cold and indifferent, "If that's the case, why are you still standing?"

Cang Yuexiao bit her lip, and since then abandoned her dignity, and knelt down: "Slave Cang Yuexiao, I have seen my master."

"Since it is called a slave, the surname 'Cang' will no longer be used."

"Yes." Cang Yuexiao didn't object, and what his last name was was no longer important to him.
