In the cold and dark prison, there was no one around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cheng Jinzhi stood in front of Jing Concubine's cell, and in front of him was Jing Concubine's corpse, which was tightly strangled by the reins and had begun to be cold and stiff.
A few strands of hair hung from her bloodless and horrible face, and the two lines of blinding bloody tears from the corners of her eyes continued to trickle down her eyes, from her cheeks to her neck, and to drip onto the dirty white prison uniform.
It was as if time had stood still.
But suddenly, Concubine Jing, who was already lifeless, opened her blood-red and resentful eyes, slowly raised her head to look at Cheng Jinzhi, and stretched out an arm towards her. Her mouth was open in agony, as if she wanted to say something, but all she could do was make a creepy, sawn wood, hoarse voice.
"Save me, save me, save me......"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"Jin Zhi, Jin Zhi, what's wrong with you? Jin Zhi?"
Surrounded by nightmares, it seemed that someone was calling his name in a low voice, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly opened his eyes, panting in horror, and cold sweat was already dripping on his back and forehead.
"Jin Zhi, you finally woke up, did you have a nightmare?
With a familiar female voice entering the eardrums, Cheng Jinzhi glanced up in a trance, only to see Gao Heng looking at him worriedly, and behind him stood Concubine Hui, who also looked worried.
"Your Highness, Mother, it's your ......"
Seeing the people he was familiar with, especially Gao Heng, the place in Cheng Jinzhi's heart that had been strong and endured for a long time suddenly softened, and the sourness and grievances in his heart all surged at this moment, and tears finally burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.
She threw herself into Gao Heng's arms and cried loudly, the coldness of her body and mind gradually dissipated because of the temperature of Gao Heng's arms, and she suddenly felt much more relieved and steady.
It's been a long time since I've cried like this.
It may be that I have been suppressed for too long, I have experienced too many terrible things that I don't want to experience, and a lot of things have been suppressed and accumulated in my heart for a long time, so I will uncontrollably explode at a certain point in time.
Looking at Cheng Jinzhi's appearance, Gao Heng's heart was sour, and in addition to heartache, he blamed himself.
No matter what, she shouldn't have been left alone in such a terrifying and dangerous place.
Except for the time when Jin Zhi got drunk and talked nonsense, he never saw Jin Zhi crying like this in the process, and he couldn't bear to see her so sad and sad.
In Gao Heng's eyes, Cheng Jinzhi is actually a very strong girl, straightforward, and indomitable when she encounters difficulties, and rarely has anything that will make her cry.
But he also understands that although Cheng Jinzhi is always arrogant and optimistic most of the time, never sentimental, sad and sad, and even sometimes feels as if he has no heart or lungs, deep down he is actually a delicate and sensitive person.
Such people are often the most emotional, but they are also often the most easily hurt.
"It's okay, it's all over, I won't let you have anything to do with it anymore. ā
Gao Heng's gentle patting from her back soothed her excited and sad heart, and she didn't know how long she cried, until the tears soaked Gao Heng's clothes, Cheng Jinzhi stopped her tears, choked and raised her head.
"I... How did I end up here?"
Cheng Jinzhi glanced around, only to find that he had left the Nine Shadows Terrace and was in the inner hall of Concubine Hui's bedroom.
"Shouldn't I be out tomorrow?"
"Heng'er heard this morning that you were attacked by a poisonous snake last night and almost lost your life, and she was very worried, and before she had time to ask Your Majesty for instructions, she wanted to go to Jiuyoutai to pick you out first, but she never thought that when you first arrived there, she heard the news that you fainted, so just
Brought you here. The doctor said that you were too frightened and mentally ill, and your heart was too heavy, so you fainted. ā
Concubine Hui sighed a little heavily, and raised her hand to cover the back of Cheng Jinzhi's somewhat cold hand.
"Jin Zhi, what the hell is going on, Heng'er said that he was fine when he came to see you the day before yesterday, why did he encounter a snake for no reason, and you saw the body of Jing Concubine hanged herself......"
Concubine Hui suddenly stopped the topic when she said this, for fear that Cheng Jinzhi would think of Concubine Jing's terrifying death again and evoke her bad memories.
"Mother, according to Erchen, this snake did not appear for no reason, someone must have deliberately put it in and wanted to take the life of Jin Zhi. ā
Gao Heng frowned coldly, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Cheng Jinzhi's face, and when his eyes came into contact with Cheng Jinzhi, the cold cold light in his eyes faded in an instant, and instead flashed with a soft light of pity.
"Heng'er, I know who you're talking about. ā
Concubine Hui tightened the corners of her eyebrows, sighed faintly, raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Jinzhi with guilt, tears in her eyes.
"Jin Zhi, you are really wronged. Fortunately, you are safe and sound now, if you have three long and two short, the mother concubine will not be at ease in this life. ā
"Mother, don't say that, if you want to blame those traitors who are as poisonous as snakes and scorpions, they only think about harming people all the time, if it weren't for Concubine Jing's singing in the middle of the night, I ...... from my sleep."
At the mention of Jing Concubine, Cheng Jinzhi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly sat up straight, and his emotions began to become a little excited.
"What about Concubine Jing, is she dead, is she really dead?"
Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi cared so much about the safety of Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui and Gao Heng couldn't help but have some doubts, only guessing that it might be because Concubine Jing was also her life-saving benefactor, but she witnessed the tragic situation of death, and she inevitably felt sad in their hearts.
So he comforted him in a good voice: "Jin Zhi, she has passed away, don't think about it anymore." She is also quite bitter, and death may not be a relief for her. ā
At this time, Gao Heng also persuaded him: "What the mother concubine said is right, there are countless such people in the Nine Hidden Terrace, and only death can end the suffering." ā
"No, she didn't commit suicide, she was murdered. ā
Cheng Jinzhi shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, his mood fluctuated continuously, and his eyes were already gloomy.
As soon as Cheng Jinzhi said this, Gao Heng and Concubine Hui couldn't help but show a look of surprise and looked at her in unison.
"Jin Zhi, what are you talking about?Why do you say that?" Concubine Hui looked at Cheng Jin Zhi with puzzled eyes, "Do you know Concubine Jing?"
"It's a long story, but I'm sure that Concubine Jing will not commit suicide at this time. ā
Cheng Jinzhi said in a hoarse tone, and took a heavy breath, but he still couldn't completely let go of the fact that Jing Concubine died violently in his heart.
Now that Concubine Jing is dead, she has not ended everything, nor has she ended all suffering, but has involved more.
What Cheng Jinzhi left behind, in addition to a shocking secret, is also a huge mystery.
