Chapter 15: Narrow-minded x Ghost King getting married?

With two quarters of an hour left before the hour was up, Zhang Xueming, who had finished his meal and tea, put on his red fox fur cloak with a white velvet collar again, left the ladies' courtyard, and sat back in the warm sedan chair with indigo curtains embroidered with silver patterns on all four sides.

The curtain of the sedan chair fell, and darkness enveloped her again. The gold chains and rubies hanging from the four corners of the red veil swayed gently.

Zhang Xueming raised his hand and gently touched the teardrop-shaped rubies, listening to the tiny, crisp sounds they made when they collided with each other, and he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

The red veil with the word "Palace" embroidered with tiny rice beads seemed to have grown firmly on Zhang Xueming's head from the moment it was put on her head, and until now it was still performing the task of covering her face.

When Zhang Xueming was having dinner in the female guest courtyard, Nanny Jin and Nanny Fu, who were temporarily assigned to be responsible for receiving her as the "first hurdle", would rather have two maids hold the gold chain and ruby ​​on her left and right that would affect her eating, while one of them sat opposite her and fed her food, and they never mentioned the matter of lifting the veil.

Just like the young master and the blade master who came up with that stupid plan at the palace gate, they readily accepted the remedial reason given by Zhang Xueming that "it was not a test but a trial", but were unwilling to back down and ask her to be the first in this "trial", and give her some seemingly good special treatment as a "reward" during her temporary stay in the women's courtyard, so that she would not have to participate in the rest of the steps.

This behavior of pretending to be stupid and not wanting to give up Gong Shangjiao's face, it is hard to say whether it is not because he is afraid that Gong Shangjiao's reputation in the world is greater than that of Gongmen, and he has the credit of supporting the entire Gongmen for ten years.

I'm afraid he still intends to deliberately torment her, Gong Shangjiao's "fiancée", so that she will feel resentful towards Gong Shangjiao and cause Gong Shangjiao to be restless in the future...

It’s true that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, if you are confined to a small piece of land for too long, your eyes will only be able to see the small piece of land in front of you.

Zhang Xueming silently made another note in the little notebook in his heart.

If she continues like this, maybe when she leaves, not only will she not have to pay the final payment to Gong Shangjiao, she will even be able to earn some money back.

It was dark in the warm sedan, and the cold wind was blocked out. A full meal would make one nervous, so this environment was particularly suitable for taking a nap and relaxing.

Unfortunately, wedding dresses with large sleeves are most likely to wrinkle, so Zhang Xueming could only sit upright and yawn a few times to relieve his fatigue.

She took out a spirit-replenishing pill from the space and swallowed it, and the slight headache caused by excessive use of her spiritual sense disappeared.

After thinking for a while, she took out a piece of honeysuckle candy from her candy pouch and put it in her mouth. She continued to observe the outside world with her spiritual sense, and continued to memorize the roads she had walked and the various sentries, outlining a clear map in her mind.

Soon, the warm sedan stopped a hundred meters away from the dungeon entrance.

There are many forbidden areas in the palace, and the dungeon is one of them. Except for the palace gate officials, dungeon guards and prisoners, no one else is allowed to approach here, and there are so many secret sentries that it is frightening.

"Miss Zheng Er, the dungeon is a restricted area and the sedan chair cannot pass through. You have to get off and walk for a distance." Qing Zhi whispered to Zhang Xueming through the sedan chair curtain, then walked forward, rolled up the curtain, and helped Zhang Xueming out of the sedan chair and walked towards the dungeon entrance.

At the entrance to the dungeon, the dark and heavy door was closed tightly, and lit torches were inserted on the walls on both sides of the door.

The golden-red flames leaped, illuminating the two black-clad guards standing by the gate with swords in hand and the cold-faced face of the guard leader named Jin.

The three people stared at the place where the sedan chair stopped vigilantly. They saw a maid in a moon-white coat and skirt supporting the bride in red, whose true face could not be seen, slowly walking out of the darkness. They walked closer step by step on the bluestone floor that looked like frost under the pale moonlight.

I don't know if it's because too many assassins and spies were tortured to death in the dungeon, and the negative energy is too heavy. Outside the palace gate, the lights are on and there are crowds of people around, which makes people feel it is a fairy-like scene. But now it seems like the horror legend of the Ghost King getting married has become a reality, which is extremely weird.

The three tough guys in front of the door felt a chill on their backs and numbing on their scalps. They just stood there, not daring to speak or move, not even to breathe.

About fifty meters away from the iron gate of the dungeon, on the bluestone floor, there is a pattern engraved that looks like two crossed swords, which clearly means to stop.

It is not allowed. Anyone who crosses the pattern will be shot by archers hiding in the dark.

Qing Zhi supported Zhang Xueming and stopped there. Looking at the three men standing still in front of the dungeon door, she asked in confusion, "Examiner Jin?"

Commander Jin did not respond.

Qing Zhi raised her voice impatiently and called out, "Examiner Jin?"

Commander Jin woke up as if from a dream, rushed over and clasped his fists to Zhang Xueming and bowed: "Miss Zheng Er, I'm sorry."

He exchanged a glance with Qing Zhi, then quickly glanced at the red veil on Zhang Xueming's head. His lips moved, but he didn't ask why the veil wasn't taken off. He just said politely, "I'm sorry to have to trouble Miss Zheng Er for a while. I hope Miss Zheng Er will tolerate it. Please follow me."
