The weather, like life, changes as it says. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I walked, the sky was clear and cloudless, but it was only a day before it was pouring rain.

When Su Jingxuan received the news of the accident of the king of Chu, he was worshipping the prince's coffin, and at the most critical time, the hundred officials followed him to worship, and saw that the ceremony had reached the most important step to close the coffin...... At this time, I saw a person dressed in silver armor, covered in blood, holding the token of the commander of the Praetorian Guard in his hand, and all the way to the front of everyone unimpeded.

"His Royal Highness, something has happened to the king, Your Majesty wants to kill Miss Asheng......" The man knelt down in front of Su Jingshuo with a puff, and handed the bloodstained token in his hand to Su Jingxuan's hand, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he fell to the ground and died after saying these words, and there was no more breath.

And the moment Su Jingxuan saw the token of the Praetorian Guard commander in this person's hand, his heart sank, and an unprecedented sense of fear instantly captured him, he turned around in a daze, and when he heard those short words, his feet subconsciously weakened, and he almost fell!

Xiao Sui is a cronie he cultivated single-handedly, and when he left, he specially explained that he must protect Ah Sheng and not let her be harmed in the slightest, but at this time, Xiao Sui sent another person to pass on such an important token, and said that this kind of instruction, what does it mean, Su Jingxuan didn't need to think about it, and he also felt that his heart seemed to be pulled out alive at this moment.

At that time, his mind was blank, he had completely lost his usual calmness and wisdom, and there was only one thought in his mind, hurry back!

Thinking like this, he really immediately put into action, leaving behind the civil and military officials who were participating in the important ceremony of the prince's coffin entering the imperial tomb, leaving behind all his cronies and important ministers, he ran down from the altar all the way as if he was crazy, and ran all the way out of the entrance of the imperial tomb, and saw that there were guards leading the horses, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he stepped forward directly and grabbed the reins and put them on the palm, but I don't know if it was because he was too flustered, too nervous, or because his body was too weak, he stepped on the stirrup for the first time and actually stepped on the air, and in the surprised eyes of the guards next to him, he actually fell directly to the ground and fell into the mudHowever, Su Jingxuan didn't seem to know what was happening, he stood up with a roll, took the reins in his hand again, and stepped on it three times in a row before finally successfully jumping on the horse.

Immediately afterwards, it was all the way to the gallop, not eating, drinking, sleeping, the original four hours of the journey, forced him to reduce to half, only two hours, until the entrance of the Chu King City, when he arrived, it was late, the city gate had already fallen.

"Open the gates!"

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Su Jingxuan was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else, he roared directly at the guard on the city gate, his voice seemed to be about to kill, and his eyes bulged out, making people feel cold and frightened when they saw it, and everyone had no doubt that if the city gate opened slowly, he would be torn apart on the spot.

The guard of the city gate was no exception, in the morning he saw Su Jingxuan leading the courtiers all the way to escort the prince's coffin out of the imperial mausoleum wearing linen and filial piety. In normal times, in order to show his strict and conscientious duties, he would routinely ask to check Su Jingxuan's waist card, but at this moment, when the guard of the city gate poked out a head on the high city head, and saw Su Jingxuan's look of wanting to eat people in an instant, the careful thoughts in his heart immediately disappeared, and he was busy directing everyone to open the city gate according to Su Jingxuan's request for the first time.

The thick city gate opened a half-man-wide gap in front of him, and the moment it was only enough for a horse to drive by, Su Jingxuan no longer paid attention to the people who continued to support the city gate and kneel on the ground to salute, and rode all the way to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the guard seemed to have gotten the news that Su Jingxuan would rush back, and when he saw his horse from a distance, he had already opened the palace gate, and when Su Jingxuan stepped into the palace gate, he raised his eyes and glanced at the guard, very strange, not Xiao Sui, let alone his person, and immediately the heart in his heart sank again.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and it was still dripping at first, but when he arrived at Zhaohua Palace, there were already raindrops the size of beans drenching Su Jingxuan's clothes, and the broken hair on his sideburns had all been wet by the rain and pasted on his sideburns, which looked really embarrassing.

However, he didn't care about anything, and after getting off the horse, he went straight to Zhaohua Palace.

The palace was brightly lit, and before I stepped into the hall, there was a strong smell of blood, and after entering the hall, the smell of blood was a little lighter, and it was covered up a lot by the smell of herbs.

Su Jingxuan directly pushed away the two little palace maids who tried to stop him, and went straight to the bedroom of the king of Chu, the more he went inside, the stronger the smell of the medicine, and when he arrived in the room, when he saw someone on the sickbed who was only angry, lying on the bright yellow dragon couch, his heart crossed a trace of unbearable, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes were covered with a terrible crimson, he lifted the curtain in front of him, and asked the dying man: "What did you do to Ah Sheng?!"

The voice was cold and unforgiving, as if it was an evil Shura crawling out of the depths of the earth.

However, the King of Chu still heard his voice at once, his loose eyelids instantly raised because of this sentence, and looked at Su Jingshuo who spoke, at this moment, his eyes were shiny with a crystal luster, he moved his somewhat dry throat, and tried to make a syllable: "Shuo'er...... Is that you?"

However, Su Jingxuan didn't look at her, only looked coldly at the bright yellow bed edge on the side of the bed and said coldly: "What did you do to Ah Sheng?"

As if he had expected that he would definitely come to question, the King of Chu actually laughed, and with his laughter, every time he laughed, a steady stream of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose...... He held on to his last breath just to wait for the return of his favorite son...... Really...... To the end...... What he cared about the most was that demon girl! Thinking of this, King Chu's eyes changed from the love and hope he had just seen Su Jingxuan to resentment.

And the warmth in his eyes gradually faded, changing to cold and ruthless, his hand subconsciously grabbed the edge of the bed, and used the last strength of this life to say: "You will never find her, because ...... She's dead. ”

The voice of the king of Chu fell, Su Jingxuan's whole person was already uncontrollable, and he raised his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, with a crisp clanging sound, his body suddenly took a few steps forward, raised the sword and pointed directly at the king of Chu, looking at the tip of the sword that flashed with a silver edge aimed at the neck of the king of Chu, the hatred and fear surging in his eyes did not weaken in the slightest, and his voice trembled a little: "What did you say?!"

"Lone said ......" Speaking of this, the king of Chu coughed more and more, and a large mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps from outside, and then the eunuch at the door sang: "Your Majesty, General Shen has arrived." ”

The voice fell, and before the King of Chu and Su Jingshuo could communicate, General Shen had already strode in from outside the hall, and he still had rain on his body, a body of wetness and coldness, and the strong smell of blood from his body instantly made Su Jingshuo's attention fall on him.

General Shen Lao is already over the age of sixties, and he only got such a pair of dragons and phoenixes when he was not confused, and he is usually in a particularly strong spirit, but recently he feels that his sideburns have been dyed with hoarfrost, which shows that the death of his only son Shen Zimiao has hit him hard.

As soon as he saw that Su Jingxuan's eyes were so red and the sword was aimed at the King of Chu, General Shen was stunned, and then said in shock: "His Royal Highness, what are you doing?!"

Hearing this, Su Jingshuo raised his sword and changed it to General Shen's neck, his tone could instantly freeze people into ice cubes, and he said: "This matter should be inseparable from General Shen, so you can tell me, what happened to Ah Sheng?"

Before Su Jingxuan's words fell, General Shen knelt down at the King of Chu with a plop, and said in a somewhat choked and unbearable tone: " When His Majesty noticed that Chu Yunsheng's woman was actually not the orphan of General Chen Guoda, but the thirteenth princess who was known as the demon who brought disaster to the country and the people, he immediately ordered, let me wait to take down this demon girl, however, the demon girl not only did not repent, but also instigated Xiao Sui, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and others to rebel and resist, in the chaos, this woman was seriously injured and was dying, and then King Chen rushed back to use his life as a guarantee to ensure that this woman was not a demon, but it was too late, and she had already lost her breath......

Speaking of this, Su Jingxuan's body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was shaking with a sword, especially the last few words, every word poked in his heart.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe a word, but his heart still felt as if he had been hollowed out, and the wind howled outside, swept in, and kept his empty heartless chest in front of him.

However, he was only stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand viciously at the dying man lying on the bed!

Sonorous!

With a loud buzzing sound, the sharp sword plunged deep into the edge of the bed that was no more than half an inch away from King Chu's side.

And, constantly trembling, making a long buzzing sound.

And Su Jingxuan, after throwing the sword, the person was like a flash of lightning, swept out of Zhaohua Palace, and ran as fast as he could in the rain and ran all the way back to Shangyang Palace.

When he arrived at the door, he had already seen the lanterns lit up and down the Shangyang Palace, the lights were bright, and one of the shoes on his feet ran off, but he seemed to be unconscious, one foot was wearing shoes, and the other foot was wrapped in socks and wading through thick stagnant water to the palace.

When the palace people saw him, they knelt on the ground in an instant as if they had lost their souls.

"Xu Cai, what do you say, what the hell is going on?" Su Zongchen only felt that the strength in his body had been completely withdrawn, and he subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it on the door frame, using this strength to make himself stand firm and not be shaky.

The eunuch called Xu Cai, who was the eunuch in charge of Shangyang Palace, after learning that something had happened in Zhaohua Palace, he had been standing at the door with all the people in Shangyang Palace waiting for Su Jingxuan to come back and ask for the guilt.

At this time, seeing Su Jingxuan's dejected appearance, everyone's hearts and livers trembled a few times, and finally Xu Cai knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said: "Early this morning, Your Majesty woke up and sent someone to call the girl to Zhaohua Palace...... And they ordered that no one should follow, and the minions did not know what was going on, until later...... News came from Zhaohua Palace that the girl was killed outside Zhaohua Palace by His Majesty......"

Speaking of this, Xu Cai couldn't say any more, and at the same time, Su Jingxuan's eyes became more and more red, he stepped forward, kicked Xu Cai in the chest hard, and roared: "You are talking nonsense!

This must not be true, these people must have colluded to hide Ah Sheng and use such a clumsy deception!

Su Jingxuan thought in his heart, but his feet were already weak and tight, but he didn't know where the strength came from, so he went crazy and kicked off the other foot with shoes, and only stepped on long socks and ran all the way to the courtyard where Chu Yunsheng lived.

While running, I persuaded myself in my heart that this could not be true, but I had mixed feelings in my heart, thinking that Xiao Sui was gone, thinking that it was impossible for General Shen to lie about the military situation, and even more so that Ah Sheng would not disappear under his care like this!

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and when he ran to Biyunju, where Chu Yunsheng usually lived, the soles of his front feet had been lowered by half and the soles of his feet had already followed, and then he undoubtedly fell down at the gate of the courtyard.

Muddy water, the rain instantly soaked his whole body, the jasper hairpin on his head had already fallen in half in the process of running back to the palace, a black and silky hair was wet thoroughly, sticking to his face one by one, he raised his hand and brushed away the hair that blocked his vision, and he didn't know how he struggled to get up from the muddy water, and stumbled all the way to the room where he saw Chu Yunsheng sleeping for the last time when he left this morning.

The door of the house was wide open, the lantern had been lit, the inside and outside were brightly lit, and the wind and rain outside slapped on the door from time to time, because the door was open, and a lot of rain came in the house, accumulating a lot of puddles, Su Jingshuo searched the room for half a circle with his eyes blank, and finally his eyes fell on the dresser, where there was the hairpin she had brought in the past few days, but there was no one he gave her yesterday.

Presumably, she must be carrying that hairpin today.

Su Jingshuo threw himself on the edge of the dresser, and before he had time to sort out all the clues and thoughts he had gotten, he heard a report from a eunuch outside: "Commander of the Huwei Battalion, Lin Rui asks to see you." ”
