The white mist in the room gathers and disperses misty, transpiring in the air. In the huge warm water pool, Man Yao didn't know how long he soaked, his cold body finally warmed up, but his heart seemed to be pulled out to dry in the ice and snow, exuding a faint chill. It seemed that the warmth of that person still remained in her body, and the pain of her new experience in her body was like the trace left by her heart being torn apart.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the curtain covering the mist. The mist condensed into beads and slowly dripped down the gauze pattern, dripping on the white floor tiles, winding into lines. Suddenly, the curtain moved, so lightly that it was hardly noticeable. The doors and windows are closed all around, where is the wind coming from
With a flash of light in her eyes, she grabbed the clothes by the pool and stuffed them into the pool without hesitation. She leaned against the pool and slid down to the bottom of the water. The warm water covered her chest inch by inch. There was no ripple on the neck, eyes, nose, and top of the head. Her whole body was stuck to the bottom of the pool, like a snake climbing on a cliff, like Mowusi was completely submerged in the water, she held her tightly with her hands, and the ends of her hair stuck to the edge of the jade were fluttering in the water. , seemed unwilling to be reconciled to the shackles of her palms, and wanted to break free.
With her eyes closed and her ears pressed tightly against the jade wall by the pool, even the slightest movement outside became clear to her ears. However, she never heard the slightest sound of footsteps, only a slight crackling sound, which seemed to be the sound of Gao Jue's light work, which was fleeting and then returned to calm.
Manyao did not immediately surface, but maintained the original posture, quietly feeling the air in the chest being drained little by little. This way of saying goodbye to love in the suffocation of imminent death is also a kind of good choice. She had to keep in mind that deceit and exploitation were everywhere in her world, and even if it was annoying, she had to get used to it. Love is an extravagant hope, as long as the heart is as hard as iron, no one can hurt her.
Persisting until the last moment, her chest was suffocated and painful, as if being torn apart by life, she rushed out of the water, raised her head and opened her mouth to breathe hard in the splashing water, and she felt refreshed. There are always things worth nostalgic in life, such as this air. She raised her lips and smiled lightly.
After a while, the water started to get cold, which was unavoidable, so she didn't ask anyone to add hot water. The mist in the air gradually dissipated, and it became clear at a glance. By the time the water was completely cool, her loose hair by the bath was almost dry. There were light footsteps outside the door. This time, she didn't dive into the water, and she didn't even move her eyelids.
The visitor stopped five steps behind her, took out a light-colored cloth bag, held it up with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and said in a low voice, "I pay my respects to the princess, these are the clothes Miss Mei prepared for the princess. and headgear."
The sky was gray and the evening breeze was cool. The Palace of the General of the State of Wei was brightly lit due to the arrival of distinguished guests. After Fu Zhao arranged the dinner, he led Princess Rong Le to visit various places in the mansion to see if there was anything that needed to be changed. Zongzheng Wuyou followed them happily, and naturally the prince was not left behind.
A group of people walked slowly on the corridor leading to the back garden. Fu Tiao pointed to a lush bamboo forest on the left, and introduced loudly: "This piece of bamboo was planted two years ago. If you don't like it, you can ask someone to Cut it off. Behind the bamboo grove is the Qingmi Garden, which was specially prepared for the princess's sleeping quarters... Let's go and have a look."
Fu Tuo made a gentle gesture of invitation, and the woman in red smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Qingmi Garden is really quiet, quiet and elegant. Fu Tiao and the woman in red walked in front, going into every room to have a look.
Zongzheng Xiaoren followed for a while, and saw that the scenery of the General's Mansion was relatively elegant. In terms of luxury and exquisiteness, it could not be compared with the Prince's Mansion. Therefore, he felt bored and looked at the people walking around him boredly. Zheng Wuyou walked lazily, as if walking casually in his own garden, he occasionally glanced around, his eyes as deep as a deep pool could not see any emotion. Zongzheng Xiaoren said: "Why is the Seventh Emperor in such a good mood today? Usually you don't even take a look at the imperial garden in the palace."
Zongzheng Wuyou left Fu Zhao and the two of them a short distance away, frowning at the bursts of makeup and powder sent by the wind from time to time, he glanced at Zongzheng Xiaoren indifferently, and didn't want to pay attention to him, but his eyes had never Really left the two people who walked ahead. At this time, the two people in front turned a corner and stepped up a few steps, only to hear Fu Zhao say, "This is the bathroom. A friend was going to use it this afternoon, so it's a little damp. The princess won't mind?"
The woman in red smiled and said, "No problem."
Zongzheng Wuyou's vision changed slightly, he knew who the friend Fu Zhao was talking about. When he stepped into the bathroom, the first thing he saw was the curtain hanging between the door and the bathtub, which blocked the scenery inside. The woman in red was no longer in his sight. Zongzheng frowned, and before he stepped forward, he saw Fu Chiu pulled off the damp curtain that blocked his sight, and said to the servants outside: "Why is this curtain still hanging here? Why haven't you taken it down and cleaned it!"
Hearing this, a maid hurriedly entered the room and took away the curtains. The entire bathroom could be seen at a glance. Except for the walls, the floor, and the pool, there were only a few of them, and nothing else.
The woman in red squatted halfway by the bathing pool, using her hands to splash the water in the pool, drawing blue ripples, against which her white and slender fingers looked like green onion white jade, exuding a soft and attractive luster. The woman turned her head slightly, as if she was looking at Fu Tzu, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zongzheng Wuyou who was staring at the bath, and said with a faint smile: "Although this bathroom is not as luxurious and beautiful as the one I used in the palace, but It's spacious enough, but it's a pity that the water...is not hot spring water, it's really cool!"
The woman's voice is elegant and ethereal, just like the sounds of nature. She stood up and covered her hands with her sleeves, as if they were frozen by cold water. The water ripples in the pool are still there, and she has already stepped out of the door. When passing by Zongzheng Wuyou's side, there was another scent of makeup powder, which seemed to be mixed with a faint and elegant fragrance, if there was nothing, it could not be caught, because it was covered by the fragrance of makeup powder.
Behind her, Fu Tzu smiled apologetically and said, "The princess is very true, but there is no hot spring nearby, so I have to be wronged and let the princess go."
The woman in red went straight out of the bathroom, her face indifferent, she clasped her hands in her sleeves, and said nothing.
Zongzheng Wuyou glanced at Qingming's bathroom, then came out, and left a distance behind them. With a slight wave of his hand, Leng Yan appeared immediately, and whispered in his ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear, Said: "My lord, I have searched all over, but I can't find anyone."
Zongzheng Wuyou's eyes froze, and he asked, "Are you sure she never left the General's Mansion?"
Leng Yan replied with certainty: "Yes." People from hidden buildings were watching all around, even if a fly flew out, they could find out whether it was a male or a female.
Zongzheng Wuyou said in a deep voice: "Continue to search. Order to go down and pay close attention to everyone who entered and exited the general's mansion today. This king doesn't believe that she can escape to the sky?!"
