Chapter 226: Slaughter
When she said such high-sounding words, Shen Xiaoxiao also pulled Chu Yunsheng's sleeve, looked at Chu Yunsheng very innocently and struggled, and said: "But my father has a strong temperament, and he has always said the same, I also want to save Brother Jing, so I begged him, but no matter how much I pleaded, he didn't listen to me, only said that if Sister Yunsheng didn't love Brother Jing and was unwilling to take advantage of her life's happiness for Brother Jing, she would have to think about her current situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not let Sister Yunsheng go......"
These, no need for her to repeat them, Chu Yunsheng knows them all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The crown prince of Chu State, how could he let her go.
Judging from the current situation, whether it is for himself or for Ah Shuo, it seems that he has to agree.
However, why did she fall into such a field, her fate was once again in the hands of others! Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng's brows jumped, and before she could speak, Shen Xiaoxiao had already let go of her hand, blinked with wide eyes, looked at her and continued: "I'll go first, Sister Yunsheng, you also have to take good care of yourself, you don't have to worry, when the matter is done, I will persuade Your Majesty and my father well." ”
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked into Chu Yunsheng's eyes and smiled gently.
Chu Yunsheng looked at her eyes, and saw that there was a little worry and nervousness in the pitch-black pupils.
Not only is there no longer the innocence and clarity she used to be, but on the contrary, there is a more cunning light.
Chu Yunsheng blinked, making sure that she was not mistaken, but Shen Xiaoxiao had already let go of her hand, turned around and opened the door of the hall and walked out.
After she left, the door of the palace was closed again and locked, and Chu Yunsheng sat down in place, physically and mentally exhausted.
Once upon a time, she also told herself rationally that she calmly analyzed the huge gap between her and Ah Shuo, and once upon a time, she also convinced herself over and over again that she was reborn in this life just to take revenge and protect her remaining relatives.
However, no matter how deeply ingrained these intellects and calmnesses were, as soon as she touched Ah Shuo, as soon as she saw his smiling eyebrows, and heard him whisper to herself, all her sanity and calmness were thrown away from Java.
The desire to be with him for a lifetime was so strong that she would not even doubt that she would marry someone else in this life.
However, why did it come to this point?
General Shen of Chu has a heavy army, and since the prince has taken control of the Kyoto fortress and controlled the Praetorian Guard, the only thing that can save Ah Shuo and keep his position is to rely on the Shen family to make a move.
However, at this time, General Shen actually put forward such a condition.
She believed that the king of Chu would not refuse, whether it was for his grandson, or for the country he cared about, or even for himself, he could not find a reason to refuse.
What's more, when Shen Xiaoxiao stated this, what he said was reasonable, General Shen did not hesitate to give up his son-in-law for the sake of the disadvantaged imperial grandson, what reason did the king of Chu have not to agree to his request to take care of his only remaining daughter.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoxiao's marriage to Su Jingxuan seems to have become inevitable.
And she not only has to watch all this happen, but also marry someone else by the Shen family for the sake of future troubles......
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng only felt a little ironic.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and in a short time, the footsteps were close to the door, and with a click the lock was opened, and the door of the temple was pushed open from the outside.
It was still the little palace maid who served ginseng and deer antler soup for Chu Yunsheng before, and she was followed by the Lord Yun in silver armor, he stood at the door of the hall, looked at Chu Yunsheng condescendingly with his hands on his chest and said, "Let's go." ”
One word, crisp and neat, short and powerful, with a downright coolness.
Chu Yunsheng moved his body, and found that his body was weak and tight, and he was not in the mood in the first place, so he only said, "I can't walk." ”
Hearing this, the Lord Yun glanced at her coldly, as if he wanted to see if there was anything unusual in her eyes, and the time was silent for a moment, only to finally see him withdraw the sharp eyes like the knife that fell on her, took a step forward, stepped over the threshold and strode in, and then bent down slightly, and raised his hand to lift Chu Yunsheng's waist and clamp it under his armpit.
The action is rude, and there is no scruple at all.
Therefore, it is enough to see that in the eyes of his master, Prince Chu, he is also an ant that can be pinched to death at any time, insignificant.
Chu Yunsheng was pinched under his armpit as if he was being plucked upside down, his head was down, his cheeks were soon congested, and his scalp was numb, she could only watch with wide eyes as he strode down the jade steps with herself, and was finally unceremoniously thrown onto the pear blossom step when she came.
Bang!
Her head hit it again, and her eyes were full of pain, but at the same time, she could see clearly that Prince Chu was already sitting on the bright yellow step in front of her.
Before she could sit down, the people below had already carried them all the way out of the scope of Zhaohua Palace towards the south gate.
Where is this going? It's not the route you took when you came from the Prince's East Palace.
She didn't know anything about the palace of Chu at all, and these people would never reveal anything, so she could only keep her eyes open and silently pay attention to the things around her.
After passing through a palace gate, there is a long and narrow Yongxiang, and the cramped stone walls on both sides make people feel suffocated when they see it, but what makes Chu Yunsheng feel even more suffocated is the pool of blood on the ground that has not yet dried up.
From the moment they stepped into Yong Alley to the end of this alley, the scarlet thick and fishy blood spread throughout the alley, and the Praetorian Guards who were carrying the foot stepped on the blood and made a clattering sound, which sounded terrifying.
Chu Yunsheng raised his hand to hold the pear blossom wood carved step, lowered his eyes to look at the blood that seemed to flow all the way to the end of the horizon, imagining the battle he had just experienced here, and only felt that his hands and feet were cold.
And at this time, there should be only one possibility for the people who were killed here...... They were people who were loyal to the emperor's grandson, Su Jingxuan.
Now, since the crown prince Su Zongren has decided to overturn everything, how can he be merciful to Ah Shuo's subordinates, Chu Yunsheng looked at the scarlet blood, and only felt that thousands of sharp claws had been born from here to firmly grasp one of her hearts, and she was just a fish tied to the chopping board, and she couldn't move at all.
I don't know how long it took to finally come to the end of this Yongxiang, however, even after leaving Yongxiang, Chu Yunsheng felt that the suffocating feeling was still there, and that desperate aura enveloped her side, like a shadow.
The group walked out of Yongxiang and continued to walk, until they got out of the palace gate and went on the wide street, Chu Yunsheng eased up, but at this time they found that the street after coming out of the imperial city should be the most prosperous area, whether it is Wei Guo, Zhao Guo, or Chen Guo, the streets behind this should be full of people coming and going, but at this time, Su Zongren was carried by the Praetorian Guards, sitting safely on the foot, from the bluestone slab paved with a wide street that can accommodate eight horses side by side, but there is not a single pedestrian on the street, and even the doors and windows of the shops on both sides are closed。
On the huge street, only their group of Praetorian Guards stepped on the sound of uniform footsteps.
The atmosphere was a little weird.
And this eerie atmosphere was not alleviated until we reached the crossroads of this street and turned the northern fork.
Because there were a street full of Praetorian Guards standing here, each wearing ink-colored armor holding silver swords in their hands and still dripping blood, and the bluestone ground they stepped on was similar to that in the eternal alley, full of blood and water, and had not yet dried up.
Seeing Su Zongren coming from afar, these people all took their swords and knelt down to salute, and Su Zongren did not tell them to get up, just like that, in their kneeling ceremony, they waded all the way to the end of this street, and listened to the mansion where there were two stone lions at the door.
Still far away, when she couldn't see the plaque on the door of the mansion, Chu Yunsheng raised her eyes and looked at the two big stone lions at the door of the mansion, one of which had half of the bell on its neck, as if it had been cut off by some sharp blade, and at this moment, she felt that her heartbeat had missed a beat.
However, the kind of speculation that had just given birth to the signs came out of his mind, and before he had time to find an excuse to prevaricate the past, their steps had already landed firmly at the door, and the plaque on the door also caught Chu Yunsheng's eyes.
"Yuanfu".
When he saw these two words clearly, Chu Yunsheng's eyelids suddenly jumped twice.
At this time, Su Zongren had already stepped down from the step in front, and he raised his hand to make a gesture to Lord Yun, who was following closely behind Chu Yunsheng's step.
That Lord Yun nodded immediately, and without waiting for Chu Yunsheng to have a chance to breathe, he raised his hand and grabbed her arm, and he didn't know where he found a two-finger-thick hemp rope, and after cutting Chu Yunsheng's hands behind his back, he neatly tied Chu Yunsheng tightly with the hemp rope.
Then, like carrying a sandbag, he carried Chu Yunsheng up from the port of the hemp rope.
However, why did you bring her to the Yuan Mansion at this time? And before she could think about this question, she saw that the blood flowing from the gate of the Yuan Mansion had infected the stone steps in front of the door, and that Lord Yun carried her, stepped on the blood water, and followed the steps of Su Zongren, who was walking in front.
As soon as I stepped into the threshold, I saw the corpses all over the ground after the fierce slaughter.
Among them, there are Praetorian guards in black armor, family members dressed in nursing homes, noble ladies dressed in splendid and gorgeous clothes, old servants dressed in simple clothes, and boys in their teens......
And these people all died in this battle, all of them died by Su Zongren's subordinates, and the reason why this mansion was massacre was only because their family was in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and they were loyal to Su Jingshuo, the grandson of the emperor of Chu, and their family's concubine Yuan Wenjing was the most powerful and trusted person around the emperor's grandson.
It's duality.
When she saw the stone lion that had been cut off half of the bell, Chu Yunsheng thought of where this was, because once upon a time, she had heard Miss Lin Yeshuang talk to her more than once about the story of her and her little Yuanzi when she was a child.
Talking about a time when Xiao Yuanzi was bullied by the sister-in-law of the Shangshu family who lived opposite, she carried a big axe and slashed towards the bamboo pole held by the Shangshu son, because the force was too heavy, the momentum was too late, and the bamboo pole knocked on Xiao Yuanzi's body was cut off, but the bell on the neck of the stone lion on the side was also split in half, for this reason, she went back and was reprimanded by the head of the Lin family, but from then on, everyone in the capital knew her Lin Yeshuang's name, and knew that the second son of the Yuan Mansion would not hesitate to fight with others for him, and from then on, no one bullied the frail and sickly Yuan family。
Chu Yunsheng looked at all this, only feeling that his qi and blood were surging into his mind, and he couldn't say a word.
The cruelty and ruthlessness of the crown prince Su Zongren were far beyond her imagination.
He walked in front with a blank face, all the way through the front hall full of corpses, past the flower hall where the porcelain was broken and the blood was shed, and finally stopped at the gate of a side courtyard.
He stood at the door, stopped, and looked back at Master Yun who was carrying Chu Yunsheng: "Do you need to avoid it?"
Hearing this, Master Yun let go of his hand and slammed Chu Yunsheng to the ground, then knelt down in front of Su Zongren and said: "The lowly position and the Lin family swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the lowly girl who came out of the concubine, she is actually with the Yuan family, just like her extremely stupid brother, and they are to blame for ending up like this, so Your Highness does not need to have any worries, and the lowly duty must be handled impartially." ”
When she heard this, Chu Yunsheng, who was swept to the ground, completely forgot all the pain in her body in an instant, and only the words of the person in front of her echoed in her mind - the humble position and the Lin family swore allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the humble girl who came out, she was actually with the Yuan family, and like her extremely stupid brother, they were also to blame for ending up like this, so His Royal Highness did not need to worry, and the humble duty must be handled impartially.
This sentence echoed in her mind rapidly, until the end, only two words remained...... Lin Jia...... Lin Jia......
At this time, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes to look at the person beside him, who was called Master Yun by Chu Yunting, looking at his handsome face, with some familiar eyebrows...... She finally figured out where that familiarity could come from.
It turned out that he was the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Ruyun, that is, the brother of Lin Yezhu, who was to be canonized as the imperial concubine by the King of Chu last time, and Lin Yeshuang was born from the concubine of the Lin family...... It's the lowly girl in his mouth.
It turned out that he had already led the Lin family to join the prince, and also regarded Lin Yeshuang and Lin Ruhui as outcasts.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised her eyes to look at the courtyard gate behind Su Zongren, and even thought of the conversation between Su Zongren and Lin Ruyun just now, her heart suddenly panicked.
