I really didn't expect that a lady in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Office would dare to reach her hand into the imperial court. Are all the masters in this mansion dead? They let a woman be the scapegoat.
/p
The Consort Xian bowed and went out. I didn't want to see this lady's benevolent appearance, but dirty schemes in her heart. I silently put the tile back and slipped down from the roof. After I got down from the roof, I was the authentic Princess Consort Yue returning to her parents' home. No one dared to say anything when I swaggered down the road.
/p
There was no one around. The Tang family's Prime Minister's Office was always quiet.
/p
I don't know if it's because the sky is dark or if it's about to rain, but bright things are always very eye-catching. Because I heard something big, I hurriedly prepared to run back to my stupid husband to make early preparations. But in the blink of an eye, I saw a cluster of fireflies by the side of the path surrounded by green plants. Little green lights gathered together and finally formed a big light.
/p
I thought it was some kind of small insect, so I didn't take it to heart and continued to walk forward. But who would have thought that after walking for a while, another group of insects came. These insects seemed to have a brain. I focused on them and looked at them. The group of insects quickly hid in the dense bushes, deliberately hiding their tracks.
/p
It's not that I'm prejudiced against the Prime Minister's residence, but with so many things placed here, it's really strange, one after another.
/p
I was too lazy to pay attention to these things. I straightened my mind and continued to walk forward. Curiosity can kill people. I didn't dare to act rashly.
/p
Who would have thought that as soon as I walked forward, the group of insects came up and blocked the path in front of me. When I went around it, it moved to block me again. It was obvious that it didn't want me to go forward.
/p
Since it didn't want me to go forward, I went back. Anyway, the courtyard was winding. If worst came to worst, I could avoid these things and then jump up and down. Who would have thought that when I looked back, I saw another group of insects. This group of insects was not as big as the first one I saw. It looked like the first one I saw.
/p
There was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. I scanned the left and right sides, and sure enough, there were two more groups of insects.
/p
Four groups of insects attacked me from all sides, not leaving me a single gap. It seemed that they were determined to force me to my death here.
/p
This thing didn't have a physical body, and it was the first time I saw something that I couldn't tell if it was afraid of or not. Now that it was attacking me without warning, it made me feel like I was at the end of the road.
/p
If only Prince Yue were here.
/p
This thought popped up in my head. While I was surprised by this thought, I also smiled disdainfully. If the Prince of Yue wanted to enter the Tang family, he would have to follow me to lead the way. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, but he wouldn't be able to touch it. He was right beside me at this moment, so he probably wouldn't have any idea. Forget it, it's better for one person to be trapped than two people to sit and wait for death.
/p
Suddenly, my face changed again … ….
/p
The Tang family's defense? Could it be that the Tang family's defense is based on these insects? What is the origin of these insects?
/p
After making this initial judgment, I couldn't stand here foolishly anymore. I directly used all my strength to hit the tree in front of me. The wind from my palm was very fierce, and the tree in front of me panicked and fell a lot of leaves. However, these insects gathered and dispersed in a physical way. I vigilantly glanced around, but there was not a single insect corpse on the ground.
/p
This group of insects seemed to be annoyed by me. They all became restless and attacked me together. I felt like something was fiercely drilling into my brain like a needle, my facial features and even my skin. It was so painful that I grimaced and became delirious. However, when this delirium reached the top, I suddenly realized that I didn't know who I was, and it stopped abruptly.
/p
The world was empty.
/p
I fainted.
/p
It was really shameful, but I was really attacked by a group of insects and had nowhere to escape. I had to take this wave of attack and fiercely fainted without hesitation.
/p
Since I lost my memory and opened my eyes in this body, I haven't experienced the feeling of fainting. I thought that it was just like sleeping. I just closed my eyes and opened them again. Only time passed. But it seemed different when I fainted. Although there was chaos and gloominess around me, I still had consciousness. It felt like my soul had been pulled out and fell into a dark black box.
/p
There was light, there was light coming toward me.
/p
I suddenly felt that I had eyes. There was a loud sound of iron chains rubbing around me, making me suddenly feel that I had ears.
/p
There was a person looking back at me. His hair was disheveled and dirty. He was very short, and I could only vaguely see him. The scene seemed to be deliberately teasing me. One moment it was far away and the next moment it was close. It was so dazzling that I felt uncomfortable, let alone seeing it clearly.
/p
I didn't want to see, but I couldn't close my eyes. I didn't want to hear, but I couldn't cover my ears. Suddenly, a pain made me tremble. I couldn't help but clench my fist. Good, there was a physical body touching my skin. I should wake up.
/p
"How is the Princess?"
/p
"This subject, this subject, this subject … … does not know." It was so pitiful that I couldn't speak clearly.
/p
"Oh, you don't know?"
/p
This person's voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear, but I was familiar with it. But the next sentence was full of ghostly threats. I wondered if he was Prince Yue himself!
/p
"Even the Imperial Hospital's Left Head Doctor doesn't know what illness this prince's Princess has?" He sneered twice. "It seems that they are all mediocre people fishing for fame. Such people dare to take a salary from the imperial court?"
/p
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a wave of kneeling and begging for mercy.
/p
"Get out!"
/p
There was the sound of hurried footsteps, as if they were running for their lives.
/p
Someone lifted the light gauze. The sound of friction was pleasant to the ear. It seemed that this gauze was worth a thousand gold.
/p
Yue wang suddenly made a sound of acknowledgment, his raised voice unable to conceal his undisguised joy. He joyfully said: "Wang fei is finally awake."
/p
Actually, at this moment, I didn't open my eyes. I was quite surprised that he could tell that I was awake. But I couldn't let the prince lose face, right? I could only struggle to open my eyes. What entered my eyes was the Hibiscus Courtyard that I had been holed up in for two days. I had even complained that the golden red jade gauze on the ceiling was ugly several times.
/p
My mouth seemed to have experienced three years of drought, a barren and cracked land, not even a drop of saliva. Yue Wangye was still wearing a mask, unwilling to show his face to others. He saw that I opened my mouth but couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly brought the tea over and helped me sit up. Carefully placing the teacup against my lips, he tilted the teacup bit by bit, letting the gurgling stream of tea flow through my pitiful mouth.
/p
I couldn't accept his kindness. I opened my mouth and drank it in two gulps. Of course, it wasn't good. After a long drought, there was finally a good rain. My dry throat couldn't bear it. It was like a loose dam couldn't hold back water. My throat itched and I coughed until I was hoarse.
/p
The prince was distressed and softened his tone to coax me: "Slow down, slow down."
/p
After coughing for a while, I felt better. After taking two deep breaths, I felt refreshed.
/p
"What were you doing?" Prince Yue wanted to ask in a cold voice. Unfortunately, before he could calm down, his voice softened again. "I was unconscious for three days. Give me …" He didn't say anything else. I waited for a long time, but he didn't say another word.
/p
I sighed and said: "You might not believe me, but I really was stung by insects and fainted."
/p
However, I really didn't know what those insects were. I just vaguely guessed that they were the Tang family's famous defenses in the Prime Minister's residence. I rubbed my head and felt dizzy. People said that fainting was just sleeping, but it seemed to me that fainting was even more tiring than staying in the same room with the First Madam for an entire day.
/p
Prince Yue was stunned. He couldn't believe it. "Those insects, why did they attack you?"
/p
I asked in return: "Why didn't those insects attack me?" I looked at the prince's face. It seemed that he was familiar with these things. Striking while the iron was hot, I continued to ask: "Your Highness, are these the Tang family's defenses in the Prime Minister's residence? What are they?"
/p
Prince Yue was obviously trying to fool me. He looked away from me, pursed his lips, and replied dryly: "Insects."
/p
I sneered: "This has nothing to do with secrets. Your Highness, do you really want me to go to your study and read the books one by one?"
/p
The prince said: "I don't want to tire you out, but you're too impatient. You do things in a dignified manner. I really don't feel at ease. You see, on the day of your return to peace, I told you that the defenses in your residence were tight, but you didn't listen."
/p
My boss wasn't convinced: "Your Highness, I've been running around in the Prime Minister's residence for a few days. Every time, I've come back safe and sound. I don't know if I've run into some evil spirit or something, but I've run into them this time. Were those insects really used by the residence for defense purposes? They're so strange and evil. How can they be used to guard the courtyard? "
/p
The prince sighed and said to me: "It's a technique from the Southwest. You can ask me to explain it in detail, but I don't know. I only know that if it's a firefly corpse, it looks like an insect. It can drill into your skin and hurt you to death. These insects are small and can fly. There are a lot of them, and they recognize their master. They can't be seen during the day or at night. They only appear when there's some light and dark clouds. "
/p
I thought that the weather on the day of my return to peace was just right.
/p
I thought about it. Since it was a secret technique, how could the Tang family use it? He even used it as a guard to watch over the house.
/p
Prince Yue continued: "The first wife of the Tang family's family wasn't of low birth. When she was young, she was like the Saintess of Guan Zhongsheng Village. Later, she married the Tang family and became the daughter-in-law of the previous generation's Saintess. These two women from Guan Zhongsheng Village have contributed a lot to the Tang family's succession of the Prime Minister's position. "
/p
I frowned and thought about it. Then, I asked, "What's the background of this Guan Zhongsheng Village?"
/p
Prince Yue didn't say anything. He just looked at me and smiled. I was stunned by his smile and scolded him: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
/p
Guanzhong Sacred Village is a place that even the court does not have the confidence to take control of. It is like a vassal state, but not a king. Dozens of families huddled in a valley and passed their days peacefully. Only a few decades ago did they open their doors to the outside world. "The Prince of Yue seemed to be scolding me, but his tone was not purely scolding." Guanzhong Sacred Village is a place that even the court does not have the confidence to take control of. It is like a feudal state, but not a king.
/p
All the land under the heavens belongs to the king. However, not all the people living on this land are the king's subjects.
