The Vega Girl's Legend of Search for the Gods
It was said that women were harmful to the country,
Who knew..,
But they were all chess pieces in the hands of others.
She was unwilling!
— — —
A dilapidated pavilion, a courtyard overgrown with weeds.
Behind the courtyard wall was a magnificent and majestic palace.
Behind a red wall, one could faintly hear the joyous sound of stringed and bamboo music,
Mixed with the playful and coquettish cries of women and the rough laughter of men. One could imagine the scene of music.
The desolation of this place and the extravagance behind the wall were separated by an iron lock on the door,
It was as if the partition had become two different worlds.
"Woo woo ~"
A little white dog..,
Woo woo woo,
It anxiously wagged its tail and circled around on the ground,
If one looked carefully, they would find that there was a woman lying unconscious beside the little white dog.
The woman lay motionless on her side on the ground. Her black hair was like ink draped over her body, adding a hint of fragility and pitifulness.
The little white dog understood human nature,
Seeing that she was unconscious, it kept rubbing its nose against the woman's face and licking it with its tongue as it barked.
The hair on her face was brushed away, revealing a corner of the woman's face.
Almond-shaped face and peach cheeks,
Skin as smooth as jade,
Face like a hibiscus,
A pair of willow-leaf eyebrows like smoke, elegant and delicate, a perky nose, and pink cherry lips. This appearance was truly a beauty that could topple cities.
At this moment, her long and curly eyelashes trembled a few times before she slowly opened her eyes. Her watery and beautiful eyes were like peach leaves, bright and moving. Her eyes seemed to be able to lock onto a person's mind.
The barking by her ear and the wet itch on her face finally woke Siyang up.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to quickly look around. After figuring out her current state, she did not let out a sigh of relief.
"Little Geek, you must have been scared." Rubbing her forehead, Siyang propped herself up and sat up. She looked at the little white dog that was barking excitedly because she woke up. She smiled and carried it over, reaching out to scratch its chin.
The one who responded to Si Yang was the little white dog called Eccentric. It tried its best to lick her hand a few more times.
He stood up with Oddball in his arms and glanced at the place where he was living. The corners of his mouth curled up.
She was now Su Daji, who had just entered the palace. She had no status, no status, and was thrown into the cold palace by King Zhou without any wrongdoing.
King Zhou's temperament was irritable, and he was lustful. When he went out, he saw two beauties in a mirage. He could not forget about them, until someone found out that they were the daughters of the Marquis of Ji Province, Su Hu. Under pressure, Su Hu could only offer his daughters to Zhaoge.
However, among the court officials, there was someone who was good at divination. He calculated that Su Hu's daughter, Daji, was a demoness who could bring disaster to the country and the people. Civil and military officials joined hands and knelt outside the palace, admonishing King Zhou to eradicate Daji.
King Zhou, who was distraught, agreed just like that.
She was thrown into the cold palace, and her wealth was gone. In addition, her sister, Clove, who had entered the palace with her, was favored by King Zhou. No court officials tried to stop her. Under such an unbalanced situation, Daji's original honest and kind attitude changed.
Nine-tailed Fox, who was hidden in the dark, found an opportunity to confuse Daji's mind. In the end, it possessed her and pushed Yin Shang to the brink of destruction. No one could pull it back.
Yingxiang Palace.
Daji and her sister, Clove, were both conferred the title of Imperial Concubine when they entered the palace. At that time, all the women in King Zhou's harem gritted their teeth and stared at them with bloodshot eyes. They thought that in the future, with these two Consort Su's in the harem, they would not have any existence at all.
Who would have thought that just when the two Su girls were in the limelight, Su Daji would be imprisoned by King Zhou's decree?
This Yingxiang Palace, which was supposed to be the Imperial Concubine's bedroom, had now become the 'cold palace' where Su Daji was imprisoned.
The concubines in the harem loved to watch the drama and were most willing to add insult to injury.
Daji was imprisoned here and was not allowed to go out. Outsiders could visit her, so the concubines took turns to humiliate, torture, and intimidate her.
Poor Su Daji. When she was in Jizhou, she was the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, Su Tianwang's beloved daughter. She had been pampered and spoiled since she was a child. She was innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs and had never suffered such grievances.
Fortunately, her father had restricted her from going out since she was a child. She could only stay in this corner of Yingxiang Palace. Even though she was lonely, she had never had any bad thoughts, until …
Her Little Geek, the only Little Geek who accompanied her, fell unconscious in the courtyard because of her. In order to save it, Yang Guifei sent people to kill it. Not only that, it was cooked into a pot of dog meat and served to her personally.
A moment of carelessness caused her to lose her life. In the end, it led to her eternal damnation. From then on, not only was she unable to control her own life, even her body was no longer hers.
No … perhaps it wasn't her who killed it, but someone else in the dark.
Siyang's arrival was also coincidental. Little Geek, who was by Daji's side, had not been cooked to death because it couldn't wake her up and ran to find someone to save her.
"Woof woof …" Little Geek, who was in Siyang's arms, licked her hand and barked at her when it realized that its master, who was deep in thought, was ignoring it.
"What's wrong? Hungry? "Siyang looked at it with a smile.
The people in the palace all flattered the powerful and trampled on the weak. As an imperial concubine who had fallen out of favor, all of her expenses were reduced and even deducted.
It was no wonder that Yinshang was destroyed. Su Daji was rejected by King Zhou, but her father was still a vassal. If she were to be tortured to death in the palace, Protector Su would not feel good. Moreover, for the sake of the two women entering the palace, he had sent an army to fight, but King Zhou did not pay much attention to it. Even if there were no saints manipulating these chess pieces, Yinshang would not last long.
"Alright, I'll go find you something to eat."
There was no point in thinking about it now. Siyang decided to get through this difficult situation first, then think about her future plans.
Carrying Little Geek, she got up and walked out. She had to find something for the little thing to eat first.
"Consort Su, you can't leave this Ying Chun Palace." As expected, not only was the door locked, it was also guarded by eunuchs.
Siyang patted Little Geek comfortingly and looked at the two people outside through the open side door. "The king ordered me not to take a step out of Ying Xiang Palace, but he didn't say that I would starve to death inside."
It was already dark, long past dinner time, but no one came to deliver food. It seemed like someone deliberately wanted her to suffer some torture.
Under Si Yang's icy cold gaze, the two inner attendants looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions were a bit unnatural, but when they thought of Si Yang's current status, they couldn't help feeling a bit more confident. "You are a guilty consort, where is there a place for you to twist words and force logic? Dinner has already passed and there is no food in the kitchen right now. Tonight, we'll have to trouble the noble consort to endure a bit more."
To be honest, if Siyang wanted to, she could grab the broken lock on the door and smash it in their faces. But she couldn't, she couldn't act rashly.
"Guilty concubine?" With a cold laugh, Siyang pointed at her chest and coldly said, "This concubine is the daughter of Ji Province's Marquis, Su Tianwang. With the honor of a princess, this concubine was ordered to enter the palace to serve the emperor. Even though this concubine didn't win the king's favor and was confined here, the king didn't punish me. This concubine still has the title of imperial concubine.
Are you trying to defy me? "" Don't forget, this concubine's father is still alive. My twin sister is still serving the king in the palace. "
Her words left the two eunuchs speechless. After all, they were only insignificant eunuchs. They couldn't afford to offend even slightly powerful nobles. Thinking of what she said just now, they felt even more guilty.
"Consort Su is right. You servants dare to mistreat the imperial concubine." Suddenly, one of the eunuchs spoke. Immediately after, a young man in white appeared in Siyang's line of sight.
As soon as he appeared, he rushed in front of the two eunuchs and pointed at their noses to lecture them.
"That's right. I told you to go get the medicine. Don't you know how to do that? You really are a stupid girl. "Tuozan scolded from the side.
"That's right. Only this stupid girl can suffer so much with me."
Tuozan's expression stiffened because of Siyang's seemingly unintentional words. She then looked at Xue Pinggui. Sure enough, he didn't look any better. Seeing this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Cui 'er bit her lip and lowered her head as she spoke in an extremely low voice, "Yes … this servant will go now."
The medicine was quickly served. During this time, Siyang kept stopping Xue Pinggui. She talked endlessly about past events and the yearning of being separated from him all these years. The latter reminisced with her affectionate eyes. Tuozan couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only laugh dryly. From time to time, she would chime in with a few words.
On the surface, it seemed very harmonious, but no one knew what they were thinking.
"Come, Baochuan, drink the medicine first." Xue Pinggui took the bowl of medicine that Cui 'er brought over. He didn't mind it at all. He gently blew on the hot air on the top of the bowl and scooped it into Si Yang's mouth.
Staring at the bowl of black medicine, Siyang didn't open her mouth. She stared at him with her dark eyes as she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think this medicine can cure this servant?"
Xue Pinggui's hand that was holding the spoon paused. He looked away from her and said calmly, "… Why not? The Imperial Physician said that your body is a little weak. You'll be fine after some nourishment. "
"Mm." As if she had been convinced, Siyang's lips pulled into a faint smile. It seemed to have a different meaning. Xue Pinggui's eyes flashed. When he looked again, he saw her open her mouth and drink the medicine.
Tuozan's hand gripped the handkerchief so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The two of them were so affectionate that it seemed unnecessary to remind her. Clearly, clearly, His Majesty was hers. Wang Baochuan … the so-called wife, couldn't help her husband at all. What was the use? It was all because of her bad luck.
"Rest after drinking the medicine. We will visit you more often."
"Mm, Your Majesty, this servant will wait for you."
After coldly watching Xue Pinggui agree, he left with Tuozan without looking back. Siyang slowly closed her eyes.
"Miss, are you alright?" After watching them leave, Cui 'er hurriedly returned with a crying face. "Why did you drink that medicine?"
"It's fine." The hoarse voice was no longer there. It became clear and bright. She pulled her hand out of the quilt. At the same time, she brought out a strip of gray cloth with her.
"This is …" Cui 'er's eyes widened.
Casually throwing the cloth on the ground, Siyang wiped the corner of her mouth and said mockingly, "If you're not sick, why did you take medicine? Get rid of that thing."
"Yes." This time, Cui 'er's response was more cheerful. The young miss was already on guard, but she was still hindering her. Next time, I should listen to the young miss, she thought secretly.
After leaving the Central Palace, Xue Pinggui used the excuse that he still had matters to attend to and left first. Looking at his back, Tuozan, who originally wanted to stay with him for a while, slowly became gloomy. However, she held it in. She didn't explode until she returned to her Western Palace.
"Get out of the way for this princess." The tea that had just been served was waved down by her hand, and the steaming teacup casually splashed onto the ground.
"Imperial Concubine, please calm down."
"What imperial concubine?" The Western Palace was Tuozan's territory. Even Xue Pinggui couldn't interfere. Because whether it was the servants or the guards, they were all people she brought from Xiliang. Everyone here would only listen to her orders.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground with eyes full of anger, Tuozan coldly snorted and pointed at them: "This princess should be the Empress. What imperial concubine, I'm not worthy."
Looking at the mess in the room and the frightened people, one person walked out and sighed, "Princess, please calm down. Don't be angry and harm your body."
Since the first day they moved in, this kind of scene would happen every two or three days.
"Aya, why do you think?" Tuozan looked at her with a frown. Suddenly, she ran over and grabbed her arm, shaking it: "Why, why isn't Wang Baochuan dead?"
In this palace, the only person who could brazenly curse the Empress to die early was Tortoise Zan.
Aya had served Tuozan since she was young. Of course, she knew the knot in her heart. Wang Baochuan's knot was this knot.
"Princess, she will die." Aya's eyes were gloomy. She kept comforting Tuozan and said in a soft voice: "She is just the daughter of a rebel. His Majesty felt guilty and gave her the title of Empress because of the past relationship and the many years of debt. But she doesn't have the life to be the Empress."
"The Phoenix Seal is with you. The power of the harem is in your hands. Wang Baochuan is nothing … Also, don't worry, she won't live for long."
Aya's voice seemed to be able to bewitch people. Tuozan listened and really calmed down. She began to ponder. Her lips moved and she whispered: "Yes, you are right. She will die. She will die. "
Suddenly, Tuozan thought of something: "By the way, you … what you did won't be …"
"Princess, don't worry." Aya shook her head slightly. She reached out a hand and made a shushing gesture to stop her: "We didn't do anything."
"What?" Tuozan didn't understand.
Aya's expression became subtle. She leaned closer and whispered: "There is someone who is actually more anxious than us."
"You mean …" Her heart suddenly tightened. Tuozan's eyes surged with emotions. After a moment, she sneered: "I really overestimated him. Now that I think about it, Wang Baochuan is really pitiful."
She said words of pity, but there was no sympathy on her face.
"So we just need to wait quietly." Finally, she persuaded her. Aya breathed a sigh of relief and helped her fix her crooked hair ornaments: "Princess, don't be anxious. You should think about how to show your bearing as the mother of the country at the Banquet of Peace."
"Yes, the Banquet of Peace must be my home ground."
Clove rushed into the inner hall. When she saw Siyang, she was happy. She quickly ran over and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much, sister."
"Since you missed me, why didn't you come back?" Si Yang didn't move at all and just let Ning Xiang hug her. Hearing Ning Xiang's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Her tone was cold and implied a question.
"Sister?" Clove choked on her sobs. She raised her head and looked at Siyang. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked gentle and pitiful, which made people feel sorry for her.
Siyang slightly tilted her head and looked at her: "Sister, didn't you say that no matter what happened, we sisters would not leave each other alone?"
"Sister, sister …" This was the first time Clove saw 'Daji' like this. Her face was not as innocent as before. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Just looking at her made people feel cold.
Clove couldn't help but take two steps back. She swallowed her saliva and said carefully: "Sister, what happened to you? I, I came to see you. You know, the King was so angry that he ordered you to be locked up. I pleaded for you, but the King didn't listen to me …"
As she spoke, Clove's eyes turned red. She bit her lip and said sadly: "What can I do? I'm afraid that if I anger the King again, I'll end up like you. If that happens, we sisters won't be able to stand out."
"Is that so?" Siyang smiled and sat down on the table. She hugged Little Geek who came over.
"Sister, I've been looking for a chance to save you." Clove said again.
Ningxiang, this younger sister, looked very weak. When she was with Daji, because Daji was not educated, she did not understand things, and could not distinguish between good and evil, so she did not have any rules in her actions. She usually did as she pleased, and Ningxiang often went along with her.
In terms of appearance, the two sisters looked similar. They were both devastatingly beautiful. However, Clove paled in comparison to Daji.
Therefore, when the two sisters stood together, Daji would always attract the attention of most people. Clove, on the other hand, was much dimmer. In the past, Clove must have had a knot in her heart. It wasn't obvious when she was in Ji Zhou.
At that time, Daji was strictly controlled by Su Hu. Not many people had seen her. The two sisters didn't appear together that often. However, after coming to Zhaoge, things had changed. The differences were also reflected.
These days, Cong Ningxiang wanted to attract attention. Whenever Daji did something wrong, she would rush out to help her admit her mistake. Whenever she met someone, she would say that her elder sister was uneducated and did not know etiquette.
The daughter of the Marquis of Ji Zhou was illiterate. If word got out, she would be ridiculed. As the younger sister, she would expose her sister's shortcomings.
Siyang leaned on the table and looked at Clove carefully. She sized her up from head to toe. She came to the conclusion that her cheap sister was probably a white lotus. She even had a bit of a sissy's temperament.
"Little sister, you're really open-minded. I was locked up and my life and death is unknown. You just said a few words to plead for me and then turned around to have fun with the king. You completely forgot about me. Why didn't I realize that little sister's memory is so bad before?" Siyang said gently as she stroked Little Geek's fur. However, everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Clove's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and squatted in front of Siyang. She grabbed Siyang's hand and said, "Sister, don't be like this. I know you're in a bad mood, but I really didn't forget about you. I didn't come to see you."
"Without Bo Yikao's message, would you have come?" Siyang looked down at her and asked calmly.
"I, I …" Meeting Si Yang's gaze, Ning Xiang couldn't say anything. After a moment of hesitation, her face was filled with embarrassment. She turned her head and said in a low voice, "No matter what, you are still my sister. I won't leave you alone. In the future, I will come and see you more often. Don't worry."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it now."
"What do you mean?" Clove felt that something was wrong.
Breaking free from Clove's hand, Siyang slowly stroked her cheek. Finally, she used a little force and pinched her chin.
"Sister, do you really want me to be locked up here for the rest of my life?"
"Sister, let go of me …"
"I'm asking you a question." Siyang didn't let go. She stared at her coldly.
"No, I said I'll find a chance to get you out …" The Daji in front of her made Clove afraid. Her tears were about to fall. She shook her head and said, "But you also know that the king is temperamental. Last time, the officials advised against it. I can't do anything for the time being …"
"Enough …" Pushing Clove away, Siyang said coldly, "I don't want to plead with the king for you."
"Then you're …"
"I want to leave the palace."
Clove, who was pushed to the ground, widened her eyes at Siyang's words. She covered her mouth and looked at her in shock. She didn't think that she would have such courage.
"What, are you surprised?" With a chuckle, Siyang stood up. Looking down at her, she slowly said, "We sisters were forced to come here by the king. We originally thought that we would be able to obtain the king's supreme favor. Who would have thought that the king would not be able to distinguish right from wrong and lock us up in this damned place."
"Sister, we've already entered the palace. According to the rules of the palace, even if you can't obtain the king's favor, you're still his woman. You can't leave the palace." Clove also stood up. Frowning, she wanted to persuade her sister.
"That's right." Siyang nodded, "So, I want to escape."
"What …"
"I asked you to come here for no other reason than to ask you one thing. Do you want to leave the palace with me?" Siyang interrupted Clove and went straight to the point.
"You can't …"
"You can't, or you don't want to." Siyang's eyes sharpened as she shouted. Clove was so shocked that she bit her lip and didn't dare to speak.
Siyang pulled her over. With a smile on her lips, she gently tucked Clove's hair behind her ear. Softly, she said, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Right now, other than leaving the palace, I have no other choice. The palace is dangerous. You said it yourself, you and I are sisters. So, I want to take you with me."
Daji should have deep feelings for Clove. Otherwise, even if her mind was taken away by Nine-tailed Fox, she had never hurt Clove. Even if Clove betrayed her to help Ji Chang, it was only a verbal lesson.
The two sisters faced each other. Clove and Siyang looked at each other. Their eyes were conflicted. After a moment of hesitation, they firmly shook their heads.
Seeing her sister's changed expression, Clove said, "Sister, we can't leave. If the king blames us, it's fine if we leave, but we'll implicate father."
"Father has been dissatisfied with King Zhou for a long time. If we leave, he'll be relieved." Siyang raised her eyes slightly and scoffed, "Besides, didn't Ji Chang and the others say that I'm a disaster? That's fine. If I leave Zhaoge, won't I be following their wishes? "
"You can't say that." Clove clasped her hands together.
