Dream Breaks One Day - C150

Yun Duan had practiced martial arts for many years, and his martial arts were very profound. Even when he walked, his feet would not make a sound, not to mention in a place where he did not know the situation, he would naturally be more careful.

That old woman’s martial arts level was not low, and although she was not young, her ears were exceptionally sharp. Just as she climbed over the palace walls, she heard a sound, and then, because of the noise made by Zhuang Li, knew that she had already went upstairs. Who would have thought that the person who would appear in front of them would be a silly little girl? She was reckless and didn’t have the slightest bit of manners. It was unknown where the barbarian came from, but just as he was about to teach her a lesson, a tall man suddenly came from behind him …

This man was not simple. He didn’t even sense a trace of his presence along the way. It seemed like martial arts wasn’t something he could deal with. He held it in for a moment. Asked

“Speak your name. What are you plotting to come to this Snow Tooth Tower?”

The manor stuck out its tongue. A conspiracy … What sort of conspiracy … Grandmother, are you really that scared … Or was there persecution delusions?

“My name is Zhuang Li …” She said her name out of reflex. No matter which old woman lived in such a secluded place, it was impossible for her to know her.

“Zhuang family? Which guild? What are you doing here? ”

She spoke with extreme seriousness, almost overbearing.

“What do you want to do… Nothing… I just came for a walk… ”

Zhuang Li couldn’t help but be a little afraid of some old man. If it wasn’t for Yun Duan giving him courage, he probably would have run out the door to escape.

At this moment, another woman’s voice came from the depths of the room. Her voice was softer and gentler than the woman’s.

“Alright, alright, Little Su. Don’t frighten the guests. Help me over there. ”

Zhuang Li was shocked, she never thought that there would be someone else in the pavilion. Why not light a lamp in such a dark place?

Moreover, this old granny was already in her fifties, and that woman still wanted to call her Little Su? Then how old was that woman?

Yun Duan, who was beside him, did not seem the least bit surprised. It was as if he had already expected that there was someone else in the darkness. When the old granny heard the words of the woman, she immediately became gentle and responded in kind. He hurried into the darkness. She held a candle in her hand and lowered her head to light the lamp by her side. She was very familiar with these objects in the darkness. In a few moments, she had lit up all the lampstands in the room.

The previously dim light only allowed Zhuang Li to see the old granny. Now that the surroundings were lit up, everything in the room was illuminated in an instant. The information that entered her eyes shocked him. This pavilion was extremely spacious, and the things placed here were all treasures of the world. There was a four-coloured grid beside Zhuang Li’s hand, and in each grid was the little thing that Master usually liked to hold in her hand.

The one closest to Zhuang Li was the Coral Peanut, and next to it was a scented bag embroidered with a phoenix. A few peas carved from white jade were placed in the past. Tie them together in a red string…

Against the wall opposite was a large cabinet. Inside the cupboard, there were all sorts of treasures, which almost blinded Zhuang Li’s eyes.

Naturally, they were exceptionally outstanding, but what attracted Zhuang Li’s attention the most was the fact that there was a bird perching stick on the window frame. However, there was no bird on the stick right now, and no bird was on it.

She remembered looking at the pavilion from the hillside and feeling that it was not as bright as the one in the palace. However, after entering, he found out that the interior was huge and that there were exquisite walls on top of its head, each with golden lines drawn on them. Before Zhuang Li could finish looking, she heard the sound of someone getting up from behind the screen.

The screen was especially large. There were actually two phoenixes embroidered on it with golden threads. His expression was spirited. The wood of the screen was inlaid with precious stones, and under the light of the candles in the room, they were reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

Just as Zhuang Li’s gaze was fixated on the two phoenixes on the screen, unable to move away, a woman wearing a nightgown walked out from behind the screen.

Perhaps other than being luxurious, there were many other words that could be used on this woman, such as beautiful, such as dignified. She walked very slowly until she reached a spot near the manor where she sat down. Only then did she raise her head. He looked at Zhuang Li.

At that moment, a strange look flashed across her eyes.

The woman looked to be around forty years old. Zhuang Li had judged her from her tone and clothes, but she had indeed maintained herself exceptionally well.

“Your name is Zhuang Li?”

“Yes.” In that instant, she was so frightened by that woman’s majesty that she almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow and call her ‘Empress’. But in the end, he still didn’t know which Empress was living here.

That woman, however, looked just like the old granny beside her …

“Xiaosu, I’m really getting old. I’ve stayed here for too long. I didn’t know that there were already so many talents outside.”

Zhuang Li was also afraid, but with Yun Duan by her side, and the graceful woman who had collapsed on top of him, her gentle and gentle voice made feel a lot more at ease. Even if that old woman is evil, she can’t do anything to me.

But then the lady on the bed slowly spoke up …

“Are you from the palace? Who has come from the palace? ”

“In that case, there isn’t any …”

Zhuang Li thought, this woman did not seem to understand the situation in the palace very well. Could it be that there really was no communication between the palace and this place? But who were this woman and this old woman? She couldn’t help but ask, unable to conceal the doubt in her heart …

“May I ask which palace you are from?” Why haven’t I heard of you? ”

“You actually dare to come here without knowing who I am?”

“…” Zhuang Li broke into a cold sweat. You are in such a gloomy place, how could I possibly know who you are? Knowing that I might not come here anymore…

“That’s true, that bitch’s son doesn’t want others to know I’m here, but it’s useless for him to do so. Just like her mother … ”

Zhuang Li did not know what the lady was saying to herself, but she could only pretend that he understood, looking at her, she was truly from the palace, and could only be so noble and proud.

But how could she be the Empress at her age? Could it be the previous emperor’s? Old age here? Zhuang Li really couldn’t understand.

“However, it’s a good thing that you don’t know who I am. I don’t want to scare you. But are you a member of the palace? She was exceptionally handsome but unfortunately had no rules. If she was back then, she would not have lived for more than a few days … ”

“…” To be able to act so arrogantly, it was no wonder that she had to live here. She probably did not have any friends and living outside would not attract attention. Zhuang Li only dared to think in her heart, after all, she had trespassed into the other person’s territory, and it was her fault in the end.

“From the looks of it, it isn’t as simple as being a palace maid, or as simple as a daughter of some lord who is resting in a palace? Are there any adults with faith in the court? Or are you talking nonsense with me? ”

“…” I really am just a small palace maid. ”

“Is the little palace maid nowadays this unruly? Is there no matriarch in charge watching them? ”

“Then I, I, I didn’t expect there to be someone here. I thought there was no one here, so I came to take a look …”

“Really …” He’s my friend. It’s the palace guards. ” She reached out and pulled Yun Duan, doing her best to prove how reliable her words were. He didn’t know if that woman believed him or not.

The lady seemed to be able to see through everyone as she stared at Zhuang Li, and then her gaze swept across Yun Duan, who was definitely not a kind person. He suddenly laughed.

It’s been so many years. This is the first time someone has stolen a relationship with me?” You want to die just like that? ” Her voice was still as gentle as ever, but the words that she said made people feel especially terrified. Zhuang Li’s heart once again skipped a beat. It’s over. So this strange woman actually thought that it was a secret affair between a palace maid and a guard …

Yun Duan and I have a secret affair … A face of Wang Su suddenly surfaced in her mind, as though she could almost feel the cold air of his ice mountain … How cold, I have a secret relationship with Yun Duan! This is what the heavens call a sneer …

“Empress …” “You misunderstood …”

Zhuang Li was speaking the truth, but if the other party didn’t believe her, then she had no other choice.

“Impudent! How can you speak to the Empress like that?” Zhuang Li did not know why the old granny was so angry, she had actually said something wrong.

Following that, the old woman asked, “You can also call me ‘Empress’?”

Zhuang Li could only remain silent as she thought to herself, so what else can I call you?

But at this moment, Yun Duan seemed to have sensed something, as he gently placed his hand on Zhuang Li’s body.

In a few seconds, a bird flew back from outside the window, flapped its wings and stopped at the perching bird branch that Zhuang Li saw just now. It was a parrot, with an extremely special color, with a circle of green feathers on its back and a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.

” I guess you guys are in luck. I’m not in the mood to bother about your insolence today, so hurry up and leave. ” The lady suddenly did not want to bicker with Zhuang Li anymore, showing an attitude of chasing people away.

“Yun Duan, tell me, this auntie is a little strange, right? She is staying in the palace with that strange old lady, yet she wants to stay here. Sometimes angry, sometimes laughing. You don’t understand a thing you’re saying

He lived in a place that looked extremely eerie and shabby, but inside, it was so opulent. We won’t be spared for a while. Now you want to drive us away? How can there be so many troublesome wives. ”

” Didn’t you see the bamboo tube with Zhuang Xin tied to the bird’s leg? ”

” That… It’s so small, but it can be used to transmit messages? ” Zhuang Li never thought that she would receive a message from the snow eagle that Ge Ya fed her in the Western Region. However, that bamboo tube was so much larger than this one.

“Then Yun Duan, tell me, who is that woman? You’ve been by the side of the Emperor for a long time, so naturally you know much more than I do.

Yun Duan naturally could not be bothered with her. Without the Emperor around, this woman’s mouth would spout out even more strange words. He shook his head. He did not know who that woman was, nor did he want to know. After what the emperor had told him, everything else had nothing to do with him. He only cared about pulling Zhuang Li along, and did not say a single word.

Seeing Yun Duan being so nonchalant, Zhuang Li naturally knew that he couldn’t get anything out of him, but at least he knew that the house that was filled with treasures and two women that shouldn’t be trifled with, had greatly concealed her curiosity. At least he could go back and have a peaceful sleep.
