The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 64: Queen's Alopecia

Some ministers heard and looked at the mirror, and they all agreed. They whispered to each other, and their voices gradually became louder. Words like "barbarian land", "unsophisticated", and "cheap" kept reaching the ears of the barbarian envoys, making their faces become more and more ugly.

At this time, an envoy in a gorgeous robe stood up. He was the envoy of the Nanman Kingdom, Murong Yun. His face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists and said loudly: "My lords, please be careful with your words! Although our Nanman Kingdom is a barbarian land, we also have our own culture and traditions! Although the mirror we sent is ordinary in appearance, it represents the thoughts and blessings of our Nanman people! Don't use your standards to measure our gifts!"

After he finished speaking, he paused and snorted, "I guess you guys don't know the value of this mirror. This mirror is an ancient artifact - the Kunlun Mirror, which is our national treasure for hundreds of years. How can no one in your great country - the State of Zhao recognize it?"

Murong Yun's words made all the ministers present quiet down. They looked at each other, and some of them showed embarrassment and shame on their faces.

Grand Tutor Tang Zhou came out and said to Murong Yun with a smile, "Envoy Murong, you are right. We should respect the culture and traditions of all countries and should not use our own standards to measure other people's gifts. Although this mirror looks ordinary, it represents the thoughts and blessings of the people of Nanman Country. We should cherish it."

"But is this the Kunlun Mirror? We have heard of it. According to legend, there is a magic mirror in the Kunlun Palace above the Kunlun Nine Heavens. This mirror originally belonged to the Queen Mother of the West. It is engraved with the Taiyi Mysterious Pattern and has the power to connect the heaven and the human world and break the gap between time and space. It can also help doctors treat illnesses. But at a Peach Festival on the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, the Kunlun Mirror was stolen and its whereabouts have been unknown since then. After that, although the Kunlun Mirror was reincarnated as Yuwen Tuo, no one knows the whereabouts of the treasure mirror since Yuwen Tuo went west..."

Time flies, and the years pass by. This magic mirror unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone again. Seeing this magic mirror, everyone sighed, and their hearts were filled with surprise and confusion.

At this time, Prime Minister Lin slowly said: "Envoy Murong, we are all mortals and have never seen the treasures of the immortals. Since this mirror is your national treasure, why don't you keep it for yourself, but give it to us instead?"

Murong Yun shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and regret: "Although this mirror is a national treasure of our country and has appeared in our country for a hundred years, no one in our country can use it. Instead of letting it sit idle, it is better to give it to your country. Perhaps someone with a predestined relationship can solve its mystery."

There was a hint of hope and desire in his voice, as if he was looking for a glimmer of hope. Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what is the mystery of this magic mirror, and why after more than a hundred years, no one has been able to solve its mystery.

The emperor was moved when he heard this. He knew that this magic mirror might be an opportunity. He looked at the barbarian envoy, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He said, "Okay, we will accept this mirror. However, we will also do our best to find someone who can use it."

Envoy Murong nodded, with a gratified smile on his face. He knew that his mission had been accomplished. He turned and left, leaving behind this mysterious mirror, which continued to search for its destined person on the land of Zhao.

The third prince of Qi also looked at the mirror nonchalantly. Zhang Tianshi behind him whispered to him, "It is this mirror."

Xue Yi was waiting by the side, expressionless.

The night was as dark as ink, and the night watchman's call echoed in the silence. A thin figure shuttled through the depths of the palace like a ghost, her figure was light and agile, as if she had merged into the darkness.

She sneaked into the Queen's bedroom, Kunning Palace, without making any sound, as if she was entering an empty place.

The man in black gently took out the homemade incense and lit it. The incense gave off a strange fragrance that filled the air. After the night maids and guards inhaled the incense, they fell into a coma and lost consciousness.

The man in black came to the queen's bed, and the queen naturally fell asleep. She examined the queen's sleeping face, with a playful look in her eyes, and pinched the flesh on her face, which was well maintained and still very elastic. Then she took out a sharp razor and wanted to gently shave off the queen's favorite black hair.

Oh, no, I can't shave it all, I'd rather shave half and leave the other half, should I leave the top or the bottom, the left or the right? I shaved the top part and shaved my eyebrows clean.

Wow! Such a bright half bald head, it can be used as a light bulb.

The man in black sneered, then wrote with an eyebrow pencil on the bronze mirror on the dressing table: I hope you will go through thousands of sails and return with a half bald head.

Then she painted a huge ugly turtle on the queen's face.

She just wanted to disgust her on purpose. Who told her to send people to assassinate her again and again? Queen? The mother of a country, do you think you are so powerful? That's because she doesn't want to care about her. Who can't do things in secret? It's not impossible to kill her, but before the time comes, the seal on her body and the mystery of Concubine Lan and her hatred for her are still unknown.

Let’s just have fun.

The queen moaned faintly in her coma, and she felt fear and anxiety in her subconscious.

The man in black smiled slightly. She knew that the queen had sensed his malice. He turned and left the queen's bedroom, disappearing into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.

The queen got up early in the morning and waited for the palace maids to come in and serve her. Suddenly, a scream resounded throughout the palace. A little palace maid saw the queen's appearance and was so scared that she screamed and ran away.

The queen was confused and looked at the maids. A brave one handed her a mirror. The queen's eyes widened. She touched her hair and eyebrows in panic, unable to believe what she saw. Her emotions began to collapse, she was furious, and tears could not stop flowing. When she saw the words on the dressing mirror, she could not help but overturn the mirror.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "I will definitely find out what happened today, and I will make sure that person's bones are crushed and ashes are scattered everywhere, and he will not die a good death!"

In ancient times, people were very superstitious and believed that hair represented the power of life. Cutting hair meant damaging life, which was very unlucky. Therefore, the ancients always attached great importance to their hair, and both men and women kept long hair to show respect for life. Moreover, trimming hair casually was considered a great sin and an extremely unfilial act. The queen knew these rules well, and she had always been very careful to protect her hair and eyebrows.

The queen thought of her mother, a very traditional woman who had taught her to respect her hair and eyebrows since she was a child, because they represented the honor of the family and the continuation of life. The queen had always listened to her mother, but now her hair and eyebrows were shaved off. She felt very guilty and blamed herself, and she didn't know how to face her mother and family.

But the queen calmed down immediately. The maids who served her closely were so scared when they saw the queen's appearance that they knelt on the ground and trembled. It was a very serious matter that the queen's hair and eyebrows were shaved off. This would not only affect the queen's image, but also the stability of the entire country. They didn't know what to do?

But no one heard any noise last night. Could it be “alopecia areata”?

According to superstition, a person who has done something bad and a ghost does not want to kill him, shaves his head in the middle of the night to warn him. If he continues to do evil and does not mend his ways, the ghost will come to take his life. Shaving a person's head is a warning to him to correct his mistakes.

But can the queen be trusted? She has done a lot of bad things. Everyone speculated, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, she had experienced a great storm, so she immediately sent her secret guards to investigate. She ordered the young palace maid to draw eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and asked someone to go to the Shangyi Bureau to get a towering wig for her to wear.

"Whoever leaks any information about what happened today will be beaten to death!"

"Yes!" The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that their legs were shaking, and they hurried downstairs to serve breakfast.

Because the emperor was going to take his concubines to watch the dragon boat race and Cuju today, the queen had to attend. She couldn't bear to see those young vixens trying to find ways to run into the emperor, but fortunately the emperor didn't pay much attention to them. But, wasn't all this caused by that bitch Jiangnan?

When the queen thought of this, she knocked over the teacup again!
