Chapter 251: Cruelty
Hearing this report, Su Jingxuan finally regained a trace of his senses, he walked to the door, and asked the messenger to take Lin Rui to the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Rui was about to kneel down and salute, but was interrupted by Su Jingxuan, and asked directly to the point: "You are the closest to the royal capital, haven't you received the news?"
Hearing this, Lin Rui's body was stunned, and then his knees weakened, and he knelt at the door, and said ashamedly: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun doesn't know, today's incident happened suddenly, and the minister did not receive any news in advance, and when he noticed that General Shen was ordered by the emperor to dispatch the Shen family army into the palace, the minister realized that something was wrong, and immediately led a light horse to the palace, but ...... It's late......"
"What does it mean that it's late?" Su Jingxuan's eyes seemed to be full of blood, and he looked at Lin Rui who was kneeling in front of him, and his voice trembled a little.
It's late...... It was the words he didn't want to hear and was most afraid to hear at this time, these four words were like a death sentence for Ah Sheng, like picking the meat on his heart with the tip of a knife. Obviously, his heart was already numb to the point of pain, but at this time, the ground suddenly began to hurt again, and the kind of thin and dense pain instantly covered his whole body, limbs and bones.
Lin Rui didn't dare to raise his head at all, he lowered his head, feeling that the sharp gaze like a knife above his head was falling on the top of his head, and hurriedly said: "When the minister arrived, there was already a mess and corpses outside the Zhaohua Palace...... Xiao Sui, Xiao Si, they are all dead, and Miss Ah Sheng ......"
"Say, what's wrong with Miss Asheng?"
At that time, the minister rushed to the palace, and heard that the palace had spread all over the palace that Miss Ah Sheng had been killed, the minister did not believe it, and rushed to the outside of the Zhaohua Palace with the crime of disobeying the emperor's order, and saw that Miss Ah Sheng was covered in blood, and there was an arrow on the shoulder blade, and the blood from the wound was dark purple, and the arrow should have been poisoned, and her face was as pale as paper, and it should be lifeless...... And the minister only glanced at it from a distance, and saw King Chen leave Zhaohua Palace with Miss Asheng in his arms in despair......"
Speaking of the back, Lin Rui couldn't say any more, because His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson standing in front of him seemed to have been completely drained of his soul and all his energy at this moment, and he fell to the ground in dejection.
"Your Highness......" Lin Rui still wanted to say something, but seeing him lose his soul like this, he really couldn't open his mouth, so he only raised his hand and took out a hairpin from his arms, and presented it to Su Jingshuo with both hands.
It was a jasper hairpin, inlaid with a magnolia flower carved from white jade, crystal clear, and aura, it was the one that Su Jingxuan gave to Chu Yunsheng.
As soon as he saw the hairpin, Su Jingxuan's godless eyes instantly became focused, he raised his hand and took it in his hand, looking at the heart of the stamen of the magnolia flower was already stained with blood, his eyes flashed, and he choked up: "Where did you come from?"
Lin Rui lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The minister found it by Xiao Si's side, and I thought it should have been dropped by Miss Asheng, so I put it away." ”
Hearing this, Su Jingshuo raised his hand and held the hairpin tightly in his hand, and his heartache was beyond measure, however, even so, he still didn't believe that Ah Sheng was gone.
At this time, Liang Yue walked in from the outside, saluted Su Jingxuan, and said, "Your Highness, there is news just now...... It is said that His Royal Highness King Chen was intercepted by assassins on the way to the fiefdom of Beijun, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”
"Uncle Wang......" When Su Jingxuan heard this, he only felt that his limbs were cold and his heart was numb, he put away the jasper hairpin in his arms, and then got up and said: "Lin Rui, you send someone to take 10,000 people along the way to investigate this matter, and you must ensure that Uncle Xiao Wang is safe." ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Rui received the order without delay, and immediately got up and strode out.
As soon as Lin Rui left, Su Jingxuan immediately stood up, plunged into the rain, and ran towards Zhaohua Palace.
In the Zhaohua Palace, the King of Chu was lying on the sickbed weakly, and when he heard General Shen's repeated calls, he reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at General Shen who was kneeling below, and said in a low voice: "What else is the matter?"
General Shen looked at the face of the King of Chu and hesitated for a moment, but still decided: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Chen met an assassin on the way to Beijun......"
He didn't continue the rest of the words, but the King of Chu was already excited to sit up from the bed, he coughed and looked at General Shen with disbelief and said, "What did you say?
"Yes, the subordinates just received the news that the guards who escorted His Royal Highness King Chen were all wiped out, and His Royal Highness King Chen and the woman were also ...... Missing. ”
"Your whereabouts are unknown! You tell Gu that your whereabouts are unknown! Gu asked you to send someone to escort you, and the result is like this...... Outcome...... cough cough cough cough ...... The demon girl ......" As soon as the king of Chu was excited, he coughed more and more, and more and more blood stains gushed out of his lungs, all the way to his throat, and finally gurgled out from the corner of his mouth.
Before he finished the last sentence, he leaned back suddenly, his body no longer had any strength, and he fell directly on the bed, and the palace maids waiting on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to help, but as soon as they approached, when they touched the wrist of the king of Chu, their faces changed.
One of the palace maids, who was a little bolder, gritted her teeth and raised her hand to probe the snort of the King of Chu, and this probe surprised her took two steps back.
Under the scorching gaze of General Shen and the rest of the palace people, she said tremblingly: "The king of Chu is gone." ”
And when she spit out these words, Su Jingshuo was walking to the door of Zhaohua Palace, and the general listened carefully.
He raised his feet and stepped into the door of the temple for a moment, and he only had these four words in his mind, repeating the cycle...... The king of Chu was ...... The king of Chu was ......
He still had so many questions, so many questions that he didn't have time to ask, but the man had already left without asking......
Su Jingshuo maintained the posture of stepping into the threshold with one foot in the door and one foot still outside the door, neither entering nor retreating.
In his life, he has never been so cruel to him.
For a while, the people he loved the most, the people he respected the most, and the people he loved the most, all left him, and in a trance, he felt that this was a dream, a nightmare that could send him to the hell of Ah Bi from which he could never recover.
He was stunned, his limbs as if he had been soaked in ice water, the cold was biting, and all hope was lost.
General Shen turned around, bowed down to him standing at the door, knelt down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has gone, I hope that His Royal Highness the Emperor will mourn, cheer up as soon as possible, and ascend the throne as emperor, otherwise the government and the opposition will be in turmoil, and the rivers and mountains of the Chu State and the people of Li will suffer a catastrophe again." ”
"Your Highness......"
Before General Shen's words were finished, Su Jingshuo was already blind, coldly pulled out his other foot, turned around, step by step, his foot seemed to have been dropped by someone, but every step seemed to be stepping on cotton, his body was shaking, but he insisted on refusing to fall.
He walked down the jade steps, letting the big drops of rain lap on his cheeks, but he seemed to be unconscious, but the jasper hairpin in his chest was burned on his chest, and he panicked.
He raised his hand and took out the hairpin from his arms, the magnolia flowers carved from white jade were in full bloom, and the blood stains on it were also faint and faint under the impact of the rain, and finally there was no trace of it.
I still remember that the day before, he still cherished this hairpin and put it on her waterfall-like green silk, he still remembers her beautiful face with this hairpin, a shy smile appeared on her face, and he also quipped: "No wonder the ancients, my fair lady, and the gentleman are good." ”
However, why didn't she see her for a day, and everyone said that she had been separated from her forever?
The soothing fragrance on her body, the coldness in her hair, the temperature on her body when he hugged her, everything was so real, as if a quarter of an hour ago, she was still smiling at herself,
He doesn't believe it!
However, Lin Rui, who had never made a mistake, and the elite Hua Wu of Heaven Killing, how could the news of his most powerful subordinates go wrong, not to mention, if the King of Chu wanted to kill Ah Sheng under such circumstances...... Even if Xiao followed them and fought for his life, it would be useless.
Rational as he is, calm as he is, but at this time he hopes that he is confused, and he must be confused to believe these false information as true......
What kind of family and country in the world, what Li people, what rivers and mountains and societies, at this time in his eyes are all worthless, the government and the opposition of Chu are not in chaos, and the people of Chu are doing well, what does it have to do with him!
He only hopes that she can live well, and that day, the promise he made to her is not a lie, he said - even life and death cannot separate you and me, if you die, I will accompany you.
Thinking of this, Su Jingxuan tightened the hairpin in his hand, at this time his heart was like ashes, and he also felt that if she really went, it would not be interesting to leave herself alone in this cold world.
His heart was destroyed, and he had no thought of living, so he raised his hand and raised the hairpin, and was about to stab it at the heart!
However, at this moment, many fragments suddenly rolled through his mind, and he suddenly remembered her words that day - "If I really die, you don't want you to accompany me, I want you to live well, along with my part of the life, otherwise, even if I die, I will hate you." ”
"Ah Sheng, do you really hate me?" Su Jingxuan raised his face and met the falling raindrops, allowing them to lap his cheeks.
At this time, General Shen chased him out, looked at the jasper hairpin raised high in Su Jingxuan's hand, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun thinks twice, even if you don't think about the tens of millions of people of the Chu State, you have to think about His Royal Highness King Chen, he met an assassin on the way, and now his whereabouts are unknown, waiting for you to rescue, how can you give up on yourself at such a critical moment!"
"King Chen...... Uncle Xiao Wang ...... "As soon as he heard General Shen mention Su Zongchen, Su Jingxuan finally remembered something, and they all told him that Ah Sheng was taken away by Uncle Xiao Wang in the end, so he must know whether Ah Sheng is dead or alive, even if he is dead, he should know where her bones are buried, how can he be so confused, he even had the idea of suicide without even seeing Ah Sheng's corpse!"
Thinking of this, his godless eyes instantly seemed to be injected with thousands of starlight, and he immediately came to the spirit, walked towards the palace gate with his steps, and at the same time said to General Shen, who was still kneeling on the ground: "I order you and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to jointly preside over the funeral of King Chu." ”
Hearing this, General Shen was stunned, and said incomprehensibly: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, ...... you."
However, at this time, Su Jingxuan had already walked out of the palace wall and walked quickly towards Shangyang Palace, he still had important things to do, he had to personally lead his troops to the area where Uncle Wang disappeared.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find him and Ah Sheng!
*****
However, this scene and episode that happened in the palace of the king of Chu, Chu Yunsheng, who was far away on the way to Hopeless Town, did not know.
Since Su Zongchen's death on that day, her spirit has been severely damaged, and the poison in her body has not been completely cleared because of General Shen's poisonous arrow, and she is so sad and mournful that the poison has entered her lungs for three points, and the angry Yu Shenyuan almost didn't throw her out directly.
I don't know what method he used to save her, and by the time Chu Yunsheng woke up from the nightmare, more than ten days had passed since the ambush in the Chu Palace.
And when she woke up, they were already in a speeding carriage.
Yu Shenyuan was still lazy as a fox and half leaned on the side wall of the carriage, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and only glanced at his side face, he was already immediately alert and looked back at her, those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a little surprise, the eyebrows rose slightly, and a charming smile instantly hung on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Sure enough, it is a great fortune, so he is not dead." ”
Ignoring his jokes, Chu Yunsheng's energy was on the verge of collapse at this time, and she didn't even have the strength to move her throat, she took a deep breath, got up from the soft couch, raised her hand to lift a corner of the car curtain, looked at the rapidly regressing scenery outside, and wondered: "Where are you going?"
Yu Shenyuan only glanced at her, then turned his attention to the fold placed in front of him, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I will fulfill my promise." ”
"Fulfill the promise?" Chu Yunsheng's brain was like rust, he didn't turn a corner for a long time, and when he looked at Yu Shenyuan's smiling eyes, he remembered that she had promised him to take him to Liao after the rebellion of the Li clan of the Weiguo was pacified.
With that said, they're now on their way to Hopeless.
And this direction happened to be the opposite direction to the capital of Chu Wangdu, that is to say, the more she went, the farther she was from Su Jingxuan, thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then said: "It's okay." ”
Yu Shenyuan didn't know what her sentence meant, but seeing her expression, he didn't talk to her again, but put it in his hand with all his heart.
