Chapter 1: The Body and the Soul Are Not Gone 1
A warm breeze blew the maids and mothers-in-law basking in the yard a little drowsy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn the warm spring of March in the capital, the willow trees sprout, the flowers sprout, the grass is tender and green, and the intoxicating sunshine in this afternoon really makes people feel comfortable.
Ruan Jingxin stood at the window, her eyes fell on the peach blossoms that were in full bloom, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked up with mockery. Back then, Dongfang Huayuan also put a lot of effort into pleasing her. She was immersed in the dreams he had woven for herself, and she devoted herself to paving the way for him, and assisting him to ascend to the position that all princes dreamed of. In exchange for the result, he was confined to this gorgeous courtyard for a lifetime.
"I've really embarrassed my fellow travelers. Ruan Jingxin sighed faintly. That's right, she traveled from the future to the present body. She learned from the heroines in the novel, first low-key to hide herself and slowly accumulate strength, and then gradually showed her beauty to let the world know that she was extraordinary, and finally used her wisdom and wealth to win the heart of an excellent man.
At that moment, she thought she was successful, and she was. I don't know how many people are envious and jealous of her. But everything that followed made her feel like she had fallen into an endless abyss, and she could no longer suppress her panic. The father committed the crime, the mother hanged herself, the grandfather was framed for rebellion, all the men in the family were killed, and the female dependents became official prostitutes, and they ...... But they have to survive in this beautiful cell.
"Niangniang, why are you up?" Seocho entered the room, only to see the master standing at the window in plain white, his emaciated body still trembling slightly, and there was no trace of blood on his face. Her heart panicked, and she immediately stepped forward to hold Ruan Jingxin's arm, and asked eagerly in a whisper, "Niangniang!"
Ruan Jingxin heard the urgent call with a crying voice, and slowly came back to her senses. She turned her head to look at Seocho, who was also no longer young, and felt a hint of comfort in her heart. Fortunately, Seocho is still by her side.
"Seocho, I'm glad to have you. Ruan Jingxin gently hooked the corners of her lips, and saw Ruicao in a trance. How long had it been since she had seen her master smile like this, and she remembered that when she was brought to Miss, she was only a child of seven or eight years old. And now...... Her eyes swept over the top of her master's head, and a person who was only thirty years old was born early. It can be seen how aggrieved and miserable the young lady is in her heart.
Ruan Jingxin's heart churned, if they hadn't drugged themselves, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope to escape. If she hadn't been carried away by love, she wouldn't have handed over all her manpower to Dongfang Huayuan, and as a result, she was killed, and she was harmed...... It's a pity that now she can't even kill herself. If he dies, then Seocho won't be able to live. This is the only person she cares about now, but she can no longer watch her die for herself.
"Miss......" Seocho is no longer called Niangniang, but resumes its previous title. "Stay in the ...... What's going on outside?" Seocho didn't finish his words, and was attracted by the changes outside.
There was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, and the people basking in the sun in the courtyard suddenly ran to the door, and then knelt respectfully on both sides of the courtyard gate.
Jing Xin's eyes fell on the people who were walking in surrounded by people at the gate of the courtyard, her body instantly tensed, and her eyes were full of resentment. "Ruan, Jing, Ya!" she said the name of the person word by word, eager to bite the person to death.
"The noble concubine has arrived, and the bold sinner woman still kneels to greet her!" This sharp voice was very harsh, making Ruan Jingxin frown slightly.
She calmly walked to the chair and sat down, her steps were gentle and elegant. If it weren't for the plain white skirt and light makeup on her body, the people present would almost have thought that this woman was not confined in this small courtyard, but sitting on the queen's throne.
Ruan Guifei looked at this cousin who made her jealous with a complicated face, obviously she had been locked up here for five or six years, but she still had no one in her eyes like this! "Unexpectedly, you are doing well." ā
"If I don't see you, it's even better. Ruan Jingxin said unceremoniously, "But you, did you have no sleep at night? Those people who were killed by you didn't talk to you?"
Ruan Guifei's face turned pale for a moment, and then she sneered, "Becoming a king and defeating a king, it's really a bit ridiculous for you to say this now." This is not the childish words that Ruan Jingxin, who is peerless and unavoidable, can say. ā
Ruan Jingxin smiled indifferently, "Indeed, I lost, and I lost without your cruelty." If I had been given another chance, I wouldn't have ended up like this because of that ridiculous blood relationship. ā
"So far?" Ruan Guifei's voice suddenly raised, "You live in a luxurious house, although the food is not delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is still exquisite, and although the clothes are simple, they are not simple. And there are so many people waiting, and they are even ...... The only inconvenience is that you can't go out! Isn't this the best result for a loser?"
Ruan Jingxin noticed the words that Ruan Guifei suddenly swallowed back when she spoke, and she had some guesses in her heart, but her face was full of sarcasm, "No matter how good it is, it's just a delicate cage." ā
Ruan Guifei's patience seemed to be insufficient, she waved her hand, raised her delicate chin, and looked at this beautiful woman condescendingly, all disdainful, "Since you don't like this cage either, then I will be merciful to help you get rid of it." ā
Ruan Jingxin raised her eyebrows and looked at the glass of wine held by the palace maid, her eyes were unwavering, "Poisonous wine?"
"This is given to you by His Majesty personally!" Ruan Guifei smiled proudly, "Your Majesty has had nightmares recently, and Qin Tianjian has also discovered that there is an image of the Lord of Doxing. ā
"Heh, it's just a death, why do so many tricks. Ruan Jingxin shook her head lightly, with a smile on her face.
"Since you know that you are going to die, you should be happy! Don't waste any more time here!" Ruan Guifei raised a charming smile on her face, "I'm still waiting to see you die in pain! Don't let me down!"
Seocho stood behind Ruan Jingxin, her hands white from clenching. She saw Ruan Jingxin stretch out her hand to pick up the cup of poisonous wine, and shouted, 'Don't!' and rushed over to sweep the wine glass, along with the wine jug next to her, to the ground.
The delicate white jade wine jug and wine glass were shattered, and the crystal wine fell onto the fluffy carpet, corroding holes one by one, so poisonous!
"Come on, deal with this for me!" Ruan Guifei's delicate face instantly distorted. If she hadn't made the illusion that Ruan Jingxin had committed suicide by taking poison, how could she just bring her a cup of poisoned wine?
Only then did the palace maids and eunuchs who reacted react and went up to pull Seocho. A grandmother pulled out a sweat towel and put it around Seocho's neck.
Ruan Jingxin finally lost her composure, she stood up and strode over, picking up a broken jade piece as fast as she could, and directly pressed it against Ruan Guifei's slender jade neck. He whispered, "Let go of Seocho!"
