The main hall is paved with gold bricks, but these gold bricks are not gold, but a kind of stone bricks that are very similar to gold. When people walk on them, the sound they make is like the collision of gold and stone. In the entire quiet hall, there were only the footsteps of three people and nothing else. The surrounding walls are also painted with the same murals as those on the roof, and they seem to be connected together.
An Yu saw Xie Weixing standing next to a wall, staring at the wall carefully, not knowing what he was observing. She stepped forward curiously, followed his eyes, and saw a painting on the wall of a girl bathing and changing clothes. An Yu took a breath and pressed it hard against her chest. She frowned and said angrily: "We were all thinking about how to get out, and you actually came here to watch a beautiful woman take a bath!"
Xie Weixing, who was deep in thought, was startled and raised his head in confusion, as if he had realized what she said. He looked back at the wall and suddenly smiled: "Why are you angry?"
An Yu ignored him and turned around to leave. He quickly grabbed her sleeve corner and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to what I was looking at. Besides..." His eyes He glanced at the wall again and smiled evilly, "The woman on the wall is not bathing or changing clothes."
An Yu was furious: "I took off all my clothes and soaked in the barrel. How come it's not a bath? Is it boiling people?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Weixing was like hitting a snake with a stick, and said: "It's almost the same as cooking people."
An Yu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, turned around and walked towards Yu Chen who was looking towards them.
"What were you looking at just now? Did you find the exit?"
"I didn't find anything. I just found a beautiful woman taking a bath."
"Ha-" As soon as An Yu finished speaking, Xie Weixing, who was following closely behind her, chuckled.
"Beauty out of the bath?" Yu Chen murmured thoughtfully.
Seeing that the two men were so fascinated, An Yu rolled his eyes secretly and simply stopped talking, letting the two men imagine.
"Women of the Yuan Dynasty had a habit of putting various spices in the bathing water. Soaking in hot water, they dyed their whole bodies with these aromas to attract the attention of others. What you just saw should be Beauty, let's burn incense and take a bath!" Yu Chen's faint voice sounded, An Yu raised his head in surprise, burn incense and take a bath
"It's just that most beauties who burn incense and bathe end up miserable in the end."
"Why?" An Yu asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with those spices?"
Yu Chen nodded: "Those spices were introduced to the Middle Earth from the Western Regions. I remember that there was a spice called turnip grass. This spice can indeed make a person's face glowing and beautiful in a short period of time. It's just that. After one year of use, people who use turnip grass will quickly age and their manuscripts will be described as dry and lifeless, just like an 80-year-old man."
The stunned An Yu murmured: "So powerful...those women really don't want their lives!"
"In this world, women are all addicted to beauty. Even if they know the consequences of using turnip grass, they will risk their lives to grab it." Xie Weixing, standing behind her, said in a low voice. His eyes seemed to drift over her body. An Yu turned her head away not to look at him, but as soon as she turned around, she felt the man behind her smiling.
"If I'm not wrong, these murals are about the history and customs of the Yuan Dynasty. If we want to get out of here, we have to find a way out from these paintings."
Although Yu Chen's eyes could not see, his eyes were very beautiful, which An Yu once felt was a pity. Every time she saw his unfocused eyes, she desperately wanted to find someone to fix his eyes immediately. Thinking like this, An Yu wanted to get out of this hellish place earlier.
"Let's take a look separately! Although this place is big, you can see the whole temple at a glance, so nothing should happen."
The other two nodded and began to wander in front of the murals.
Although the murals are intricately painted, you won’t feel dizzy when you take a quick look at them. An Yu looked at these characters. Suddenly, I felt as if these characters were moving, as if I could fit into these scenes—
In the splendid palace. A delicate girl with relaxed hair is leaning on a soft couch and resting quietly.
Her fair skin showed a hint of bright red, like the sunset in the west, which made her round face look even more graceful and rich. The tips of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised on both sides of her forehead, and her red phoenix eyes were tightly closed, hiding all the sharpness. This couldn't help but make An Yu feel a little disappointed. He didn't know what the girl would see when she opened her eyes. He really wanted to go up and shake her awake and take a look.
Just when she was looking a little dazed, a middle-aged woman hurriedly rushed in outside the hall. The woman's hands were clasped in front of her chest, with bulging balls. The maid guarding outside the main hall saw her walking inside and wanted to stop her. The woman pushed her away and broke into the hall. As soon as she saw the person on the soft couch, her knees softened, she knelt down and crawled towards her.
The delicate girl on the soft couch slowly opened her eyes. How should I describe those eyes? Brilliant! This word was the only word that came to An Yu's mind. After that, there was only indifference and calmness on the girl's face, as if she had already expected that the person coming was a woman. She sat up extremely gracefully, watching the woman's lips move with an expressionless face, as if begging for something from her.
An Yu was like a bystander. Although he couldn't hear the conversation in the mural, he somehow knew what they were talking about.
"Princess, please save Concubine Sheng! Only you can save her now!"
The delicate girl raised her lips lightly: "Get up!"
The woman didn't want to, so she went with her. She stood up slowly, her long Su skirt dragging straight to the floor, making her jade-like body even more graceful and affectionate.
If this delicate girl is a princess, then who is this woman? Why did she beg this princess? An Yu's doubts gradually arose.
"Still not leaving?"
The princess's voice was also lazy, but it carried a hint of majesty unique to the royal family. When the woman heard the words, she immediately got up from the ground in surprise, but her face was still full of sadness.
An Yu followed the two of them to another deserted palace, which was overgrown with weeds. There was a palace hidden among the weeds. There was also a plaque hanging on the gate of the palace with three big cursive characters: Suijin Palace. Outside Suijin Palace, everything was covered with thick dust. An Yu thought that it would be even messier inside, so he didn't want to follow him in.
At this time, a scream suddenly came from the palace, which disturbed people's heartstrings. An Yu was curious for a moment and followed him in.
The scene inside still surprised her. Although the tables and chairs were old and shaky, they were still kept very clean. An Yu didn't even frown when he saw the princess, and walked straight towards the room where the scream came from.
As soon as he entered the house, the young master stopped and blocked the door so that An Yu behind him could not see what was going on. The woman who led the way was already sitting on the bedside of the room, anxiously asking the person who was sleeping.
"My dear, how are you? Bear with me, the princess is here! She will definitely save you! You must hold on!"
The princess stepped forward lightly, her long eyebrows furrowed tightly. She looked at the pale man in front of her eyes, clapped her hands together, and a maid immediately came in from the door.
"Go and ask Mr. Dongfang to come."
The maid left, and An Yu walked in doubtfully. As soon as she stepped into the room, a strong smell of blood hit her nostrils, which made her want to vomit. He covered his nose and peeked in, only to see a woman with a big belly lying on the bed. Her face was pale, and the cold sweat on her forehead was sticky to her hair. But despite this, An Yu could still see her face clearly.
She is very beautiful. Even though she is very fragile and embarrassed now, her natural beauty cannot be concealed. The princess only frowned slightly when she entered the door, but her expression remained calm thereafter. Looking at her, An Yu couldn't help but relax.
"Ye, Yeluo, you must save, save my child, ah—"
The weak voice finally finished speaking, and then another scream changed its tone.
An Yu suddenly felt distressed. She hadn't felt distressed like this for a long, long time. Every time I saw Wang Zhen, this kind of heartache followed him like a shadow, and now I met him again here! She covered her heart with her hands in a daze. The heart in her chest was beating rapidly, and she didn't know what she was excited about...
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a turban and a long beard walked in hurriedly. This should be Mr. Dongfang the princess invited. Before he came in, the princess told him not to salute, but to just save people.
Mr. Dongfang was shocked when he saw the man who was sleeping, but he didn't ask any more questions. He walked up and ordered the woman sitting nearby who was encouraging Concubine Sheng to prepare hot water. Dongfang narrowed his eyes after sizing up the woman in front of him for a moment.
"Princess, do you want an adult or a child?"
The princess was stunned, but before she could answer, the beautiful woman opened her eyes slightly and said, "I want a child!"
Both Dongfang and Gongfang couldn't help but sigh, and then Gongfang was kicked out of the door and waited. An Yu was also blocked from the outside and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. He just heard that the woman inside no longer screamed in pain and felt a little at ease.
About half an hour later, a baby's cry suddenly came from the house. After a while, the door opened, revealing Dongfang's tired face. An Yu followed the princess into the house, and saw the beautiful woman stiffly turning her head to look at the sleeping baby lying beside her, smiling happily, but now that smile was frozen on her face. Go up, don't move an inch...
"There is nothing I can do, please punish the princess." Dongfang glanced at the naked mother and son and said in a low voice.
The princess slowly shook her head, pointed to the baby on the bedside and asked, "Is she okay?"
"Back to the princess, everything is fine with the little princess! She just fell asleep now."
The woman beside the deceased Concubine Sheng looked at the princess with tears in her eyes: "Lou Yin thanked the princess on behalf of the concubine!"
