Chapter 240: Unfathomable

After resting in Guangling Palace for an afternoon, with Gao Heng and Concubine Hui by his side, Cheng Jinzhi's spirit and mood also improved and recovered a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most of this New Year has passed in a blink of an eye, but for Cheng Jinzhi, it is a sad day of suffering, not only did he not enjoy a little fun about the New Year, but he almost lost his life several times, is it a "miserable" word?

It is said that a good start is half the success, and I have been so unhappy at the beginning of this year, and I don't know what kind of thrilling and dangerous things will happen in the following days?

It's just that about what Jing Concubine said to herself, she was still hesitant to tell Gao Heng.

If Concubine Jing was really killed by Empress Zhao's faction, it was clearly a murderous act, which shows even more that what she said to herself at the beginning was indeed true.

But the more this is the case, the more worried Cheng Jinzhi feels in his heart, in addition to worrying, he is even a little afraid.

She was not a forward-looking and cautious person, but now when she thought of Gao Heng and the enemy she had to face, she felt uneasy.

In this deep palace where the dark tide is turbulent, it seems that the wind and waves are calm, but how many unknown secrets have not yet surfaced? And how many sinister and vicious people are still marching in the shadows, trying to kill people invisibly?

"You've been worried since you came back from Jiuyoutai, besides being in distress last night, do you have anything else to hide from me?"

Gao Heng sat at the head of Cheng Jinzhi's bed, tucked the quilt for her, and put her hand in his palm.

"You... See it?" Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips, leaned away from the pillow and approached Gao Heng, looking a little embarrassed, "Actually, I want to tell you, but I don't know how to tell you." ”

"You never hide it, everything is written on your face, it's hard not to see it. Gao Heng said teasingly, and then said, "But... It's rare to get so caught up in your mind, and it seems that the stakes are high. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face around and thought: "Before, you said that Jing Concubine did not commit suicide but was killed, so is this matter you want to talk about has anything to do with Jing Concubine?"

"Well, since you've seen it all, I don't want to hide it and add to my heart. ”

Cheng Jinzhi flattened his mouth and took a deep breath, propped up his knees, and supported his chin with both hands, looking like he was going to tell Gao Heng a story.

"But before I do that, there's one more thing that I find weird. ”

Seeing Gao Heng's suspicious expression, Cheng Jinzhi pretended to be mysterious and continued: "Do you know? Just last night, when the snake tried to attack me, a very strange flute suddenly sounded in the prison, and then after the snake heard the flute, it seemed to be called, and went away with the flute. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned by the snake and lost my life, and you really want to marry a new Princess Yan. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Gao Hengjian frowned slightly, his expression a little grim, "Are you sure that the snake left automatically after listening to the sound of the flute?"

"Absolutely, for sure. Cheng Jinzhi nodded and said, "I watched it rush out of the prison door by itself, chasing the direction of the flute, it must be that this flute sound is strange, it sounds like a conjuring, I can't tell how weird it is." ”

Cheng Jinzhi said and suddenly raised his eyebrows, his face tightened, and he approached Gao Heng and said tremblingly: "You say... This place in Jiuyoutai is eerie and terrifying, will it... Could it really be that there is a thousand-year-old snake spirit hidden?"

Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a fearful and frightened look, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, so he nodded seriously and said, "Well, in fact, what you said is not impossible. ”

"What? Even you say that? And I... Then I will not be targeted by that snake spirit, and maybe one night it will come to suck my soul and essence? ”

Seeing that Gao Heng didn't seem to be joking, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but believe a little in his heart, the more he talked, the more creepy he felt, his heart trembled, he looked around very vigilantly, pulled the quilt to his body, and grabbed Gao Heng's hand.

"No, aren't all the snake spirits in folklore usually women? Banshees are all good men, you were born so handsome... No, you still look a little bit good, so don't you have to suffer with me?"

Cheng Jinzhi swallowed the words "handsome and extraordinary" in his stomach, nervously made up a bunch of what he didn't have, and saw Gao Heng's speechless face, except for secretly sighing that Cheng Jinzhi's brain hole was so big that it leaked, he blamed himself for not answering that sentence just now.

But at the same time, he was also full of doubts and curiosity about the flute player who saved Cheng Jinzhi from danger.

"Stupid, stop thinking nonsense, the so-called demons and monsters in this world are just human nature, and people's hearts are just troubled. ”

Gao Heng raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Jinzhi's hair, his cold gaze froze in one place, and his eyes were already full of mist.

"I once heard a friend in the rivers and lakes say that there is indeed a magical secret technique in this world that can summon animal creatures with a unique voice, but this secret technique is just a rumor, and few people have seen it, but I didn't expect that in the Forbidden Palace, there is such a powerful character hidden deeply. ”

"Hearing you say that, I'm even more curious. Cheng Jinzhi's eyes widened, and then he lowered his eyes with some regret, "It's just that I only heard his voice at the time and didn't see him, unless that person reappears, I'm afraid this can only be a mystery." ”

"Since he is willing to rescue him in the dark, at least it means that he should not be our enemy, and we don't need to dig deep into this person, as long as he is still in the palace and still in the Nine Shadows, if there is a fate, he will see you again. ”

Gao Heng's eyes deepened, and he looked at Cheng Jinzhi with comfort, his expression turned slightly serious: "Okay, don't think about this now, just now you mentioned the deceased Jing Concubine, what is the so-called matter?"

"She... She talked to me and at the same time, told me a secret. ”

Cheng Jinzhi took a deep breath, glanced out a little nervously, came back to his senses and looked at Gao Heng very seriously, and his words were clear.

"A shocking secret. ”

"Shocking... Secret?"

Gao Heng's eyebrows jumped, obviously he didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to say this, and tightened his pupils a little hesitantly, his eyes were already cloudy.

"Well, that's why I said that Jing Concubine didn't commit suicide. ”

Cheng Jinzhi nodded, a trace of pathos flowed from the corners of his eyes, but his expression was still grim, and in addition, there was a trace of hatred.

"Because I suspect that Concubine Jing Niangniang, she was killed by someone sent by the queen. ”
