Shi Qingxue followed the local customs, was served by the palace maids, and changed into the palace clothes of Liang Kingdom.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and then the screams of the palace maids and eunuchs.
Shi Qingxue was stunned when she heard the palace maid Xiaolan who was washing her at the side lowered her head and murmured: "Who dares to make such a noise?"
Qingxue didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that the customs of the Liang Kingdom were different and some of the rules and requirements were different, but obviously, it was a general rule not to make any noise in the Forbidden Palace.
She pursed her lips, stood up, took the short bow and arrow hanging on the bedside, and said to Xiaolan, "Let's go out and take a look!"
Xiaolan was afraid that something might happen, so she said cautiously: "Why don't you, Miss Ruo, wait in the room for a while, wait for the servant to go out to see the situation, and then report to you?"
Shi Qingxue thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Then you go out and take a look first!"
But Shi Qingxue waited in the room for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Xiaolan hadn't come back yet. The screams outside became louder and louder, and finally turned into a scream of terror.
Shi Qingxue couldn't sit still anymore, her hand holding the bow and arrow tightened, and finally decided to open the door and go out to take a look.
This sight shocked her.
I don't know when a vicious wolf jumped in from outside, chasing all the palace maids and eunuchs around the yard.
These maids and eunuchs were all powerless, and the guards in the palace were missing. Several maids had been bitten by evil wolves because they could not escape, and their blood flowed all over the floor.
Seeing the evil wolf swooping down, he threw a thin palace maid to the ground. The sharp tips of his fierce fangs were exposed and he was about to bite the palace maid's slender neck.
Shi Qingxue couldn't stand it any longer. She held a bow and arrow and aimed an arrow at the wolf's head.
The evil wolf was busy enjoying its prey, and was pierced through the head by Shi Qingxue's sharp arrow without any precautions.
After a scream of "Wow!", he fell to the ground.
Then, the surroundings were filled with the sound of rapid breathing. The palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard did not run away anymore, but their faces were still full of shock, as if they had not yet escaped from that frightening nightmare.
At this time, Xiaolan walked out from a corner, walked up to Shi Qingxue, and cautiously shouted, "Miss..."
He hesitated to speak.
Shi Qingxue frowned, looked at Xiaolan with confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaolan pointed at the dead wolf and stammered: "T-that wolf, you can't kill it!"
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly and repeated in a subtle tone, "Can't I kill you? Why can't I kill such a hurtful beast?"
Before Xiaolan opened her mouth, someone had already told Shi Qingxue the answer!
"That desperate guy dares to kill my black wolf, stand up for me, I will kill him!"
I saw a young man about ten years old angrily breaking into the palace of the great emperor. When he saw the evil wolf lying in a pool of blood, he immediately became furious and pointed at a group of palace maids and eunuchs and cursed.
The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt all over the floor, kowtowing and admitting their mistake, "Please spare your life, Your Highness! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
They were so scared that they were trembling all over, which showed how scary this second prince Yelu Chufeng was.
But Shi Qingxue was surprised to find that these people were almost scared to death, and no one took the initiative to confess her in order to escape.
Shi Qingxue curled her lips slightly, feeling quite satisfied with these people.
But she is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It is her doing, so there is nothing she dare not admit.
Shi Qingxue took a step forward, looked at the young man who was no higher than her chest, looked calm, and said in a polite tone: "This evil wolf suddenly broke into the palace of the great emperor and hurt people wantonly. I can't stop him." The only option is to shoot it to avoid causing greater harm."
She spoke eloquently, aiming to tell the other party that it was the evil wolf that hurt the person first, and she had no choice but to shoot the person to death with an arrow.
But Yelu Chufeng only heard that she killed the black wolf, and immediately shouted angrily at Shi Qingxue: "You killed my black wolf!"
"He refused to obey discipline and hurt others first. I had no choice but to do it. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Shi Qingxue replied politely.
Yelu Chufeng snorted unreasonably: "My black wolf is Meng'an's treasure, a pet raised by His Highness himself. Who do you think you are? How dare you kill it? I will kill you to pay for the black wolf's life!"
After saying that, he shouted: "Come here, arrest this woman who killed Black Wolf!"
Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly knelt down in front of Yelu Chufeng and begged bitterly: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please calm down. This lady has just entered the palace and does not understand the situation. She has offended His Highness. Please remember that she is Your Highness’ distinguished guest, please bypass her this time!”
"Oh? That cowardly guest from Chu Qi?" Yelu Chufeng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Qingxue again with the eyes of looking at the goods, his eyes full of teasing and ridicule.
When Shi Qingxue heard Yelu Chufeng scolding Abao, she frowned in displeasure, but it was not her territory after all, so she did not argue.
She even didn't want to embarrass Xiaolan, so she took the initiative to surrender and said warmly: "My little girl didn't know that this wolf was raised by His Highness. Please forgive me."
But Yelu Chufeng took Shi Qingxue's politeness as weakness, stared at Qingxue with a sinister look, and said coldly: "You are also unlucky today! Originally, it was fine as long as you paid for your life to the black wolf in this palace, but now Well… "
Yelu Chufeng deliberately made his words scary.
He stared at Shi Qingxue and said word by word: "Now, I want to feed you to my other wolf cubs! Someone, catch her for me!"
"yes!"
Several guards suddenly sprang out from nowhere and instantly surrounded Shi Qingxue.
Xiaolan hurriedly shouted: "Miss!"
Shi Qingxue remained calm in the face of danger. She just glanced at these majestic guards coldly and said mockingly: "There was a lot of chaos in this courtyard just now, and not a single guard was seen. Now His Highness just shouted casually, They all came out, they are really conscientious!"
These guards didn't know the situation in the yard just now, but they were told not to move.
There were some thin-skinned guards who immediately lost their temper and turned slightly red after hearing Shi Qingxue's ridicule; there was also the particularly thick-skinned guy who was pretending to be a bully. Not only did he not feel that he had done anything wrong, he even pushed him hard. Shi Qingxue took a look and said fiercely: "There is so much nonsense, hurry up and leave, don't starve His Highness's precious pet wolf!"
After that, he and several strong guards pushed Shi Qingxue out.
When Xiaolan wanted to pull Qingxue, she was pushed to the ground by the guard, and her arm was immediately scratched with a large piece of skin.
Shi Qingxue frowned slightly and glanced coldly at the guard with rough hands and feet. The latter immediately shrank his neck timidly, and finally wondered why he was afraid of a dying person.
He swallowed and stared back, "What are you looking at!"
Shi Qingxue ignored him, turned to look at Xiaolan on the side, and said softly: "Go and take care of the wound first, I'm fine!"
Everyone present was surprised by Shi Qingxue's calmness, as if she was just going to the banquet, not to die.
This made Yelu Chufeng, who was waiting to watch Qingxue lively, very unfulfilled.
Yelu Chufeng gave Shi Qingxue a hard look and snorted: "Let's see how long you can continue to be arrogant! Someone come and push her into the wolf pen."
The wolf is a sacred object revered by the Liang Kingdom, and the kings Yelu Beichen and Yelu Chufeng both love wolves, ferocious and cunning animals. Therefore, there is a place in the palace dedicated to raising wolves, called the wolf pen.
It is said that it is a wolf pen, but it is actually more like a circular school field. It is simply surrounded by wooden stakes and has a wooden door. The captured wolves are locked inside and are cared for and raised by specialized people.
These wooden piles are not even as tall as a human being, and from time to time, bold wolves jump out of the wolf pen and run around.
Therefore, it often happened that living people were bitten to death by evil wolves in the palace - if Shi Qingxue had not taken action in time today, I am afraid that several more people would have died among these beasts - but who made the king and the second prince both... If you like wolves, the people below can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
If anyone is really bitten to death, he can only be considered unlucky.
Shi Qingxue was pushed forward by the guards all the way. Yelu Chufeng probably wanted to see Shi Qingxue wet his pants because of fear, or he wanted to make Shi Qingxue feel more painful before being bitten to death. fear.
Not only did he not rush Shi Qingxue, but even when he arrived at the door of the wolf pen, he did not push Shi Qingxue in to feed the wolf in a hurry.
Instead, he happily called the werewolf and asked how his precious wolf was doing recently. Are you willing to eat meat? Have you eaten enough
The wolf breeder answered them one by one. When he mentioned that the wolves in the wolf pen seemed to have poor appetite recently, Yelu Chufeng immediately darkened his face.
"How many times have I told you that you must not treat them badly! You dare to let them starve. Do you want to die?"
Cold sweat broke out on the wolf keeper's forehead, and he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, spare my life! It's not that I've treated these wolves badly, but that these wolves have become cunning in their mouths and won't eat ordinary food. It’s really small…”
Yelu Chufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? What do they want to eat?"
The werewolf hesitantly glanced at Shi Qingxue, who was being escorted by the guards, and hesitantly answered with two words: "Live, live!"
Yelu Chufeng is cruel by nature and likes to see living people being bitten to death by evil wolves, so he often throws some death row prisoners, even those who have angered him, into the wolf pen, and watches those people being torn apart alive by a group of evil wolves. fragments.
Now that he heard that his precious wolf was thinking about living human flesh again, Yelu Chufeng not only did not feel bad, but smiled happily, "Very good! You are worthy of being the darling of this palace!"
He looked at the group of wolves in the circle with glowing green eyes and salivating mouths, clapped his hands and ordered: "Okay! Open the door and push this ignorant woman in. Let's see how arrogant she can be! "
Yelu Chufeng was very unhappy when he didn't see Shi Qingxue's frightened expression just now. He asked someone to open the wooden door and pushed Shi Qingxue away.
Shi Qingxue staggered forward, and as soon as she regained her balance, a ferocious wolf pounced on her...
