Princess Yulong

Chapter 6: First Meeting


.,

It is early summer in Yizhou in May, and the night at this time is when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Li Chenghao, who was dressed in dark night clothes, passed the golden and red glazed tiles silently. He crossed the heavily guarded Funing Hall and went straight to the Yimei Hall that had been abandoned for 20 years.

This place has long been colder than the cold palace. Li Chenghao fell lightly from the roof. Weeds had grown overgrown inside and outside the hall, and a pile of unknown debris in the yard was piled up in a mess, covered with a layer of stubborn weeds.

Li Chenghao walked slowly on the steps buried by weeds, the more he went up, the heavier his steps became.

He seemed to still be able to see the gentle and beautiful woman in palace attire leading a little child toddler on the steps, her smile was so warm that it seemed to melt the ice.

He watched the woman standing on the steps waiting for the child to return, the wind swayed her elegant palace dress skirt, her alluring face and curvaceous figure were even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting.

"Well……"

Li Chenghao snorted, and covered his left chest with his right hand. The colic in his heart made him bend down. Only at this moment, he, who is known as the king of war, can be so fragile.

Panting heavily, he sat down on the steps, the cold light in his dark eyes faded, and he became a little sad and nostalgic.He stroked the dirty marble steps, and the coldness of his tentacles did not conceal his tenderness.

"Mother Concubine, my son has come to see you!" Li Chenghao murmured, "Don't worry, one day, my son will enter the palace dignifiedly."

After Li Chenghao said these words, he sat quietly on the steps, and the feeling of heartache slowly sank to the bottom of his heart.He looked up at the sky divided into four directions by the tall palace walls. At this time, the bright moon was high, and the bright stars dotted the dark night sky, so clear and lofty.

But even under such a beautiful moonlight, the inner courtyard of the huge palace is still dark, and those places that the moonlight can reach or cannot reach, are always shrouded in darkness, and there is no sky.

Compared with this dark inner courtyard with high walls, he prefers the emptiness beyond the Great Wall, which is so free and unfettered.However, this is the place where the mother and concubine suffered all kinds of injustices, and it was the place where the mother and concubine would rather die than wait.

Thinking of this, Li Chenghao's breath became heavier. He resented this place, and even resented the person who bound his mother and concubine until his death.

Li Chenghao closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the raged hatred in his heart. He had been comprehending for 20 years and failed to understand the word "no resentment" left by his mother and concubine before she died.

The sudden faint smell of fireworks interrupted Li Chenghao's thoughts.With a serious look on his face, he immediately jumped up to the roof and inspected it for a long time, only to find that there was a cluster of small, imperceptible fires in the desolate and deserted Yimei Palace, just like will-o'-the-wisps.

Li Chenghao narrowed his black eyes slightly, he naturally does not believe in ghosts and gods, this "wild fire" must be someone burning paper here, but the mother and concubine are taboo in the palace, and no one has stepped into the Yimei Palace for 20 years, how could it be possible? Some people worship here.

Just as he was about to go down to take a closer look, Ling Kong shouted angrily, "Bold assassin!"

Then a gust of wind came through the air, and Li Chenghao knew that he might have been noticed by the inner guards, so he hurriedly floated into the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a woman in plain clothes standing in the hall in a panic.

In the darkness, there was a bunch of unburned papers under her feet, and the small fire was about to shine, not as bright as the moonlight outside the hall.

Regarding Li Chenghao's sudden intrusion, although the woman was panicked, she did not scream and panic. Instead, when footsteps came from outside the hall, she quickly stepped on the last ray of fire, and by the way opened a basket beside her, a cat. Screaming and running out of the hall.

Outside the gate of the hall, there were several feathered forest troops surrounded, Li Chenghao and the woman stood opposite each other, they both looked at each other quietly, waiting for the people outside the hall to disperse.

The Habayashi army soon discovered the cat that the woman let out, and the guards came and went quickly, and the woman slowly turned around to look at the gate of the hall, and after confirming that the guards were far away, she turned back with a sigh of relief.

"Uh……"

When he turned around, he was strangled by the throat, Li Chenghao tightened his fingers and slowly lifted the woman in front of his eyes, he could only see clearly through the clear moonlight outside the hall, the face in front of him could not be described as fascinating all living beings.

Small oval face, willow eyebrows wrinkled because of his choking, jewel-like bright eyes under thick long eyelashes, and beautifully shaped pink lips slightly parted under the straight nose.There is nothing that is not pleasing to the eye, Li Chenghao is used to seeing beauties, but this one in front of him is more outstanding than any one he has ever seen.

This face made Li Chenghao dazed for a moment, but he soon regained his clarity. His sight was like a knife like an arrow, cold and without any warmth.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful face will soon disappear."

Li Chenghao's deep and cold voice sounded faintly, and at the same time his fingers tightened little by little.The woman's thin white fingers clung to his tough hand in vain, her mouth was wide open, like an endangered fish.

She was clearly in pain and unable to utter a word, but those clear eyes were indifferent, as if seeing death as if she were at home, without any sign of struggle.

What surprised Li Chenghao even more was that the woman slowly lowered his hand, and then lifted it up with difficulty, with a small and delicate jasper cicada hanging on her finger.

It was this jade cicada that made Li Chenghao withdraw his hand suddenly. He pulled the jade cicada, and the woman fell to the ground.

"Where did this come from?"

Li Chenghao asked sharply, not caring that the woman was covering her mouth and coughing suppressedly, he kicked her, seeing that she still didn't answer, he picked her up with one hand.

"Where did you get this? Don't use what you picked up."

He asked again, this jade cicada was specially customized by the concubine mother to reward people around her. In other words, those who can have this jade cicada are all the palace servants who were personally served by the concubine mother during her lifetime.

But as far as he knew, after the mother and concubine's accident, all the palace personnel in Yimei Palace scattered to death, not to mention the close people, not even a little eunuch who guarded the gate remained.

The woman took a breath, coughed twice, and then said something hoarsely.

"This is left by Madam Lu to the slaves."

"Mother Lu?"

Li Chenghao recited it silently, and just as he was about to strangle the woman's neck again, the woman stepped back and knelt down facing him.

"The servant girl is Lingluo, a dancer from Lilefang. She grew up in the palace since she was a child and was taken care of by Madam Lu. Before she passed away, she gave this jade cicada to the servant girl for safekeeping. She told the servant girl that if there is a chance, she must give it to her. Return this jade cicada to His Highness."

Li Chenghao squinted his eyes at Lingluo, this jade cicada was real, and Nanny Lu was the concubine's personal nun during her lifetime, but this woman named Lingluo was too suspicious.

"I think you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if you entered the palace at the age of three, Nanny Lu would not be here anymore. Who sent you here? Tell the truth."

After finishing the words, Ling Luo interjected: "The servant girl entered the palace at the age of five. At that time, Madam Lu was Ye Xiang's mother in Lilefang, and her mouth and eyes were crooked, and she couldn't speak. The servant girl was not good at school at that time, and she was often punished. That's when I met the kind-hearted Nanny Lu. Mammy's appearance has changed so much that no one in the Ritual Square knows her identity, and the servants only knew the reason why she pretended to be deaf and dumb until she was dying."

At this point, Ling Luo raised her head and looked at Li Chenghao, "Today is the concubine Rou's birthday sacrifice, and slaves and maidservants come here every year to worship. Three years ago... I also saw His Highness here, but that time His Highness was outside the hall. Just didn’t notice it.”

Li Chenghao looked straight at her, his eyes as deep as an ancient pond, shining fiercely, he wanted to find a flaw in those clear black pupils, but the eyes that were staring at him did not hide No flash, there is nothing wrong with Ren.
