Chapter 784: Five Kinds of Vegetables for the Deposed Empress in the Cold Palace (5)
Seeing this, Song Yuesheng quickly removed all the accessories from He Yingxue's hair.
These are all burdens.
After removing all the jewelry, Song Yuesheng quickly took off the real jade pendant from He Yingxue's neck and replaced it with the imitation jade pendant made by Su Zhenhe.
In comparison, although the imitations are similar in appearance, they lack the lustrous luster of the originals that has been accumulated over the years.
But it's scary enough.
Song Yuesheng straightened his clothes and pushed open the carved wooden door.
"I have already finished chatting with Imperial Concubine Xuan, so there is no need to see me off."
The palace maids waiting outside the door bowed immediately, and Song Yuesheng immediately covered her palm with her wide sleeves and threw out the drug powder hidden in her palm.
The palace maids fell to the ground one after another.
After confirming that there was no one around, Song Yuesheng quickly returned to the inner room and helped the unconscious He Yingxue up.
She found a soft belt from the closet, tied a tight knot around He Yingxue's waist, carried her on her back and walked away.
Under the west wall, the chess player had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing her master coming over with someone on his back, she immediately hung down the prepared cloth strips from the top of the wall.
"Hold it steady."
Song Yuesheng tied the cloth belt around the knot on He Yingxue's waist and held her up from below.
Zhiqi pushed hard on the wall, and the two of them cooperated and finally got the unconscious He Yingxue out of the palace wall.
Song Yuesheng said, "In my name, take the pillow book back to Qiwu Palace safely. If anyone asks, just say I got drunk and went to bed first."
Zhiqi nodded, put the prepared palace maid's coat on He Yingxue, and ruffled her hair to cover half of her face.
After doing all this, she looked at her master worriedly: "My lady, be careful."
Song Yuesheng carried He Yingxue on his back again and ran towards the Imperial Observatory.
It was late at night and the music from a banquet could be faintly heard in the distance.
Lin Wuxia was also on the invitation list, so it was not that difficult to break into the Imperial Observatory tonight.
She counted the hours.
It is now the first quarter of the lunar calendar.
Hope it's not too late.
After passing through the palace walls, the Imperial Observatory's observatory finally appeared before our eyes.
Song Yuesheng panted and carefully placed He Yingxue in the location that had been explored in advance.
She took out the real key jade pendant from her bosom and placed it in the depression in the center of the bluestone star disk.
Good news, the jade pendant fits in perfectly.
Bad news, nothing happened and the jade pendant cannot be taken out.
Song Yuesheng had no choice but to ask the Sparrow Spirit to help her keep an eye out for anyone around.
"Sister Yue," Blue Sparrow felt bored and asked her own question, "Why don't you just knock out the heroine? Why do you have to find the hero as a replica? Are you trying to win over Su Zhenhe?"
"No." Song Yuesheng rubbed his temples and recalled everything he saw in his dream again, trying to find out if there was anything else he had forgotten.
"I'm worried that if the heroine finds out that the jade pendant is missing, she will come up with other ways to get it back. The imitation can at least hide it from the heroine's eyes, because she can't see what's going on in the star chart."
Blue Sparrow suddenly realized, "Sister Yue is really thoughtful."
What’s the use of being thoughtful?
It's just a waste of time waiting here to enjoy the moon.
...watch the moon?
Song Yuesheng was suddenly startled, and something flashed through his mind.
Have you ever seen a blood moon in your dreams?
She hit her forehead.
Can't remember.
But it did happen three hundred years ago.
But a blood moon is something you can only encounter when you encounter it, not to mention...
Song Yuesheng's eyes darkened slightly. According to the setting of the wild plot, the hero and heroine can travel back and forth between the two worlds at will. This either means that the "blood moon" is not a necessary condition, or... the "blood moon" has some special way of activating it.
She looked at the moon quietly, her thoughts surging.
After a moment, she carried the unconscious He Yingxue on her back and pulled out the silver hairpin on her head.
Then, she pinched He Yingxue's slender fingers and stabbed her without hesitation.
"hiss--"
The pain woke He Yingxue up suddenly. Her eyelashes trembled and her eyes were misty: "What are you doing..."
Before she finished her words, Song Yuesheng raised his hand and chopped her neck cleanly.
He Yingxue groaned and fainted again. Blood oozed from her fingertips and dripped onto the jade pendant.
"Om-"
The astrolabe suddenly trembled with a low sound, as if waking up from a deep sleep.
Song Yuesheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw the patterns on the star disk light up one by one, as if they were injected with life, and began to slowly rotate.
The positions of the twenty-eight constellations changed accordingly, and the starlight flowed on the stone plate, outlining a mysterious trajectory.
Sudden--
"Shh!"
A bright beam of light shot up from the center of the star disk and penetrated the sky.
Song Yuesheng looked up and saw that the bright moon, under the reflection of the light column, gradually changed from cold to blood-red, weird and strange.
There was a blood moon in the sky, and the eerie red light enveloped the entire imperial city like a veil.
Inside the palace walls, the guards on duty were the first to discover the anomaly.
"What, what is that--!" A young guard raised his head suddenly, and the spear in his hand slammed onto the bluestone ground with a bang.
He opened his eyes wide, pointed at the red full moon in the sky, and said in a trembling voice, "The moon... the red moon!"
The palace guards who were on night patrol stopped and looked up.
The lanterns held by the palace maids fell, and the candlelight rolled far away, reflecting many terrified faces.
Some people knelt on the spot, pressed their foreheads against the cold tiles, and recited prayers with trembling hands.
"The blood moon appears, and the world changes..."
An elderly woman sat slumped in the corridor, her skinny fingers tightly grasping the Buddhist beads, her cloudy eyes reflecting the red moonlight, "This is a very bad omen... This is a very bad omen!"
at the banquet.
The golden cup in Wen Yu's hand slammed onto the table with a bang.
The nectar splashed, spreading a dark color on the bright yellow dragon robe. He stood up suddenly, overturning the entire table.
"His Majesty!"
The ministers fell to their knees in panic.
Wen Yu stared at the blood moon outside the palace: "Someone! Immediately dispatch the imperial guards to the Imperial Observatory--"
According to palace records, such a strange phenomenon occurred three hundred years ago during the reign of Emperor Jinghe.
At that time, a divine object descended from the sky, and the dynasty took advantage of it to vigorously develop glass production, and the Imperial Observatory was also highly valued.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
Lin Wuxia walked out from the table and bowed respectfully.
The drooped eyelashes hid the gleam in her eyes.
If we can make a big deal out of this vision, perhaps we can destroy the Zhaoyu Dynasty in one fell swoop.
In the past, the late emperor had framed his entire family with false charges for the sake of the Empress Dowager, and all of them were executed, leaving only him...
This revenge should be avenged.
In the Shangshansi, Su Zhenhe was leaning against the window and drinking alone.
"Sir! Look up at the sky!" The servant ran over in a panic and pointed out the window, "The moon, the moon has turned red!"
Su Zhenhe raised his eyes casually, but his pupils shrank slightly when he saw the blood moon.
For some reason, he always felt that this strange phenomenon was related to Song Yuesheng.
The white jade wine cup turned a circle on his fingertips, and he suddenly chuckled: "Interesting..."
At this time, on the observatory——
Song Yuesheng saw a vortex of light appear out of nowhere where He Yingxue had just been lying.
The center of the vortex gradually became clear, and opposite was a modern-style girls' bedroom.
——Warm lights, textbooks scattered on the desk, and a cute doll hanging on the bedside.
A smile appeared on Song Yuesheng's lips.
The passage to another world has opened.
