"What did the queen say?" The voice was low and hoarse, with no emotion.
The guard knelt down on one knee and explained everything Mei Xueyi had asked.
"You only asked the concubine? Didn't you ask about the route out of the palace?" He squinted his eyes slightly, and his face, so pale that there was no trace of blood, looked like a jade statue in the moonlight.
The guard felt a chill and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Not really."
His eyes fell under the black robe and he found that Wei Jinchao was barefoot.
"Your Majesty! It's freezing cold, you..."
He raised his hand to silence the guards, then passed them and walked forward.
A misty voice floated faintly in the cold wind - "Why don't you run away..."
The tone was gentle and scary.
Mei Xueyi walked along the palace road.
The back palace buildings on the left and right sides were not locked. She looked deserted and gloomy, so she opened the door and walked in for a walk.
These palaces are completely different from the Chaomu Palace where she lives.
There are no jade trees, no pearls, and no shark gauze tents.
Others would have dared not walk around in this dark palace in the middle of the night, but this delicate and frail figure opened the dusty palace doors one by one, as if in a garden Just like taking a walk, step into those dark and cold places without caring. The moonlight illuminated her back, alone and heartbreakingly lonely.
What's even more poignant is that she is very adaptable to this loneliness.
A black shadow appeared silently behind her. As sharp as Mei Xueyi, she was completely unaware of his presence.

"Squeak - ah -"
She pushed open the two carved wooden doors again.
This palace does not look like a woman has lived in it. It is a study room. The faded curtains were originally navy and dark blue. There are still sword troughs hanging on the palace walls, and there are still a few swords hanging on the bookshelves in the corner. The books covered with dust could be vaguely seen in the moonlight as political treatises and art of war.
The inkstone at the corner of the table is engraved with the word "East Palace".
"East Palace?" Mei Xueyi gently stroked her chin, "Is this where he lived."
Speaking of which, she knew nothing about Wei Jinchao's life.
All she knew about him was that he was very sick, acted crazy, and was fierce in bed.
She walked around the entire East Palace and found nothing special. When he was the prince, he was very low-key and nothing out of the ordinary.
She couldn't help but think of Wei Jinchao in the storybook.
Study and practice martial arts. Upright and thrifty.
The empty place in my heart seems to have fallen into a trace of sour and sweet spring water, causing small and imperceptible ripples.
Immediately, she shook her head and chuckled.
gentleman. The life span of mortals is too short, and all that is left behind when the flowers bloom is beauty. In the Immortal Realm, cultivators have lived too long and been tested too many times, and few can stick to their true intentions. Being a gentleman is often the same as being sanctimonious.
Anyway, she has never seen a true gentleman. In a place where the jungle prevails, true villains are more reassuring, because they only need to discuss interests.
Thinking like this, she no longer had any interest in the former Prince of the East Palace.
She left the East Palace and looked at the royal city under the night sky.
There is a huge silhouette in the southeast, like a giant beast dormant in the dark night.
"Star Reaching Platform." She walked over.
When they got closer, Mei Xueyi couldn't help but was speechless again.
She no longer knew how to evaluate this foolish king. The Star Reaching Platform is not an ordinary stone platform, but a Chinese platform carefully carved from the finest pure black granite. It occupies a very large area, not counting the huge Star Reaching Square around it. Just talking about the platform itself, It already occupies the area of three or four concubine's bedrooms.
Each wall stone is engraved with exquisite and dreamy star patterns, poured with gold and silver water, and inlaid with jade patterns.
The long steps built around the platform were made of black jade railings. Mei Xueyi stepped up and touched the jade railing, and found that it was actually warm jade. In this cold night with falling snow, the jade railing was surprisingly warm.
It's really... so luxurious that there is no cure!
Mei Xueyi sighed while walking along the ring steps to the unfinished star-catching platform.
Only about one-fifth of this Huatai has been built, but from a high place, you can overlook the entire palace.
Mei Xueyi saw her Chaomu Palace at a glance.
It is so eye-catching, like a pearl in the snow, its light shines brightly, and its brilliance reflects on the snow clouds in the sky. It is really like a dream, and as beautiful as a fairyland.
She blinked her eyes, looked away, and thought to herself: 'Hunjun. '
"Hunjun!"
A voice full of anger came from above.
Mei Xueyi: "?"
Who spoke her mind
She quickly took a few steps and stepped onto the unfinished platform.
She saw a woman in complicated palace clothes with her back to her, standing on the edge of the platform, looking at the Chao Mu Palace in the distance.
She wore her hair in a high bun, and her whole body naturally exuded a majestic aura.
'This is… '
As soon as Mei Xueyi's thoughts came to her mind, the woman in palace clothes turned around.
A flying phoenix was dotted on her forehead, her eyebrows reached between her temples, and her lips were dotted into a round bead shape with dark vermilion lipstick. She looked stern and her eyes were sharp.
"Who is this person who is not polite to the Ai family?"
It turned out to be the Queen Mother.
"My son, I have met my mother." Mei Xue, her clothes tucked into her lapels, greeted her.
"It turns out to be the queen." The queen mother's brows moved slightly, "Come here, let the Ai family take a look at you."
Mei Xueyi held onto the black jade railing at the edge of the platform and carefully stepped onto the sapphire bricks.
It has only been twelve short hours from her 'resurrection' to now. In such a short period of time, he has experienced so many things - the people from Jinling robbed the chariot, fell in love with Shen Xiuzhu, killed Xiao Shijun with a stick, dealt with Mei Qiaoqiao, and... was bullied by the Hunjun four times. She really didn't have any more energy to pay attention to other things.
So until now, she didn't know that there was a queen mother in this palace.
As she came closer, the Queen Mother looked her up and down.
Mei Xueyi also looked at the Queen Mother calmly. There are layers of complicated palace attire, the face is decorated with exquisite and luxurious paint, and the hairpin rings in the hair are jingling.
The cold wind swept the flying snow, scattering it thinly between the sky and the earth, and the nostrils were filled with the cold and fresh breath of ice and snow.
"The Queen is such a graceful and lovely person!" The Queen Mother said sadly, "Why doesn't King Wei know how to cherish her!"
Mei Xueyi: "?"
Did the Queen Mother misunderstand something
"Queen!" The Queen Mother slammed the handrail, "You are his pillow, you can't just watch King Wei being seduced by Hu Meizi! You have to say what you need to say, persuade when you need to, and scold when you need to. ! We can’t allow him to become a foolish king and destroy the country and the country!”
She walked back and forth angrily and pointed at Chaomu Palace: "Queen, just deal with the demon concubine who deceived the Lord! If King Wei is dissatisfied, let him come to the Ai family!"
Mei Xueyi: "..."
"Kill the demon concubine! Never let her continue to bring trouble to the country!" The Queen Mother's fingertips trembled slightly, she was angry.
Mei Xueyi: "..." For the first time in my life, I felt a little guilty.
"My son was devoted to the country, worked hard, and was praised by everyone. The Ai family thought that they could close their eyes and go to the late king in peace. Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed. He worked hard on people and money all day long to build construction projects. This is to destroy my kingdom, David! "Pressing her forehead with her long fingernails, the Queen Mother was so angry that she closed her eyes, "Why has my son become such a stupid king?"
Mei Xueyi asked curiously: "When did that happen?"
"The Ai family can't remember clearly. The Ai family is in their eternal life palace every day. They can't get out. They can only watch the star-catching platform getting higher and higher, and watch the baskets of beautiful jade and pearls being sent in and out again. Go in and watch the golden house and jade palace being built and built again! The Ai family is really heartbroken and heartbroken!"
Her voice became more and more shrill, and the long finger cots gradually penetrated under the skin.
Mei Xueyi: "..."
She watched helplessly as the artificial finger cot made of sapphire and inlaid with gold threads penetrated the skin of the Queen Mother's forehead, and then came out an inch away. There was not a drop of blood, but it was more terrifying than the bloodshed.
The Queen Mother turned out to be a Yin spirit.
Her obsession must be to defend the country.
"Queen..." The Queen Mother Yin Ling looked over, "Do you promise to allow the Ai family to immediately eradicate the evil concubine in the Jade Palace who is causing harm to the country?"
She forgot that her fingertips were still embedded under her skin. She raised her hand and tore a large piece of skin on her forehead like tearing a layer of silk paper.
Mei Xueyi really didn't know how to tell this Yin spirit. It seemed that the person who confused the master was the elegant queen in front of her.
"What?" Queen Mother Yin Ling's expression turned cold, "As a queen, you don't care about the country, the country, the country, but you only want to please King Wei and allow him to do whatever he wants by pampering the enchantress?"
Mei Xueyi: "..."
"Incompetent!" Seeing her helpless look, the Queen Mother Yinling couldn't help but raged, "What's the use of you? It's better to leave the post to a capable person! Go to hell!"
The cold wind howled, and Mei Xueyi felt in a daze that the surrounding environment had changed.
In a blink of an eye, she found that she had been hanging outside the jade railing at some point, with an abyss of ten thousand feet at her feet. When the wind blew, she was on the verge of falling.
In this situation, anyone's first reaction would be to step into the jade fence and return to the platform.
Mei Xueyi knew in her heart that this was an illusion. He was clearly standing inside the jade railing just now. If he was deceived by the illusion and climbed over the jade railing, he would be truly doomed.
"Go to hell!" The Queen Mother Yinling approached step by step, trying to lift her hand that was on the warm jade railing.
Just as Mei Xueyi was about to move, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist so tightly that it hurt.
She looked back and saw Hunjun standing beside her wearing a thin black robe. The loose clothes and his black hair were raised together, and his fingers were like ice cubes, clamping her with great force.
The cold wind blew by, and the illusion of the Yin spirit disappeared.
He lowered his black eyes displeased and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Queen, you are too rash."
"Your Majesty..." She couldn't help but shudder when she saw his bare feet.
He raised his hand and stroked her hair: "She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even know when she walked to the edge of the stage."
"Thinking of the Queen Mother." She asked, "When did the Queen Mother pass away?"
"Five years ago." He let go of her and walked to the edge of the high platform with his hands behind his back. "Died of illness in Yongshou Palace."
The Star Picking Platform was built on the site of the original main hall of Yongshou Palace.
"I know that my mother is going to die that day, and I can't do anything after all." He turned around suddenly and glanced over, his eyes gentle but cold, "I also know that you will eventually follow Shen Xiuzhu. So, when does the queen plan to leave me? ?”
Mei Xueyi: "..."
Let him run around in the snow without shoes, and he will become seriously ill again.
