Chapter 782: The Instinct for Self-Preservation
Wang Miaoyan's figure froze, and before the smile could be removed, it became ossified. At this moment, her situation is really called the inability to advance and retreat.
How is this possible?
She shouted frantically in her heart, could it be that Princess Chu betrayed herself?
Immediately, she rejected the idea. No, this escape route was told to her by Princess Chu a long time ago.
At that time, it was specially prepared for her in order to prevent her from accidentally exposing her feet and being seen by others in the prince's mansion.
Princess Chu is not an immortal, how could she have predicted her situation today?
She was lying on her whole body on the dirty ground, burying her head deep between her arms. Staring at a small yellow nameless flower blooming next to her arm, Wang Miaoyan was stunned.
In such a late autumn, such an inconspicuous dirty place, such delicate flowers can bloom.
And I, why is it always bad luck?!
Is it wrong for me to work so hard to live and pursue a better life?
I don't want to be a pawn of anyone, I just want to live according to my own ideas, who is in the way?
Why, why did the deliberate calculations and plans not earn a broader world, but the road became narrower and narrower?
Why, why do you fall into another trap every time you think you have escaped?
Wang Miaoyan can't figure it out, she can't figure it out!
She didn't want to look up, she wanted to hide like that. That way, she doesn't have to face what follows.
It's a pity that the heavens don't follow people's wishes.
The owner of the pair of black and white-soled official boots bent down, leaned into her ear and asked softly, "Wang Miaoyan, Miss Wang." Do you remember me?"
This voice, Wang Miaoyan vaguely felt a little familiar. However, over the years, she has been in charge of the killer eyeliner hidden in the Prince's Mansion, and she has offended many people, and I don't know which enemy it is.
She took a deep breath, looked at the small yellow flower, slowly reached out and crushed the flower in her palm.
Looking at her palm, she raised her head and smiled contemptuously: "Who are you, should I recognize you?"
But when her gaze touched the ordinary face that was close at hand, she was as surprised as if she had seen a ghost.
"Wang Leyu, why are you?" Didn't he, when he was at the dock, follow the gang of thugs from the Qian family? This person she had long forgotten completely, and she didn't expect to appear in front of her eyes at this time.
Wang Leyu smiled, but the light in his eyes stabbed Wang Miaoyan like a blade.
He stretched out a hand, grabbed Wang Miaoyan's bun, and dragged her out of the dog hole. Like dragging a dead dog, throw it into the corner.
Wang Miaoyan was still in shock, what was going on, how could he be here.
Wang Leyu no longer looked at him, and arched his hand to the person next to him: "I have some personal grievances with this Wang Changshi, and let us talk a few words alone." ”
The armored lieutenant arched his hand and said, "Where, Wang Langzhong, please." If it weren't for the adults, I am afraid that the last general would not be able to make a difference today. ”
The location of the dog cave was cleverly chosen, next to a shack built next to the wall. In the back alleys of the Prince's Mansion, there are all the palace maids, slaves, and their families.
The back alley is naturally not as clean and tidy as the prince's mansion, and if any Tianding is imported, he will build an extra side house in his yard. If it's not enough, build another shack.
Although the Shenwu Army surrounded the Prince's Mansion, it could not be airtight in the back alleys of such buildings.
If Wang Miaoyan got into that shack and entered those houses, he would have to make a big move to catch it.
The captain of the Shenwu Army thanked him at this time, and he was quite grateful to Wang Leyu.
After the two spoke, the captain waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers scattered in all directions, forming a fan. Leave the space to Wang Leyu and Wang Miaoyan.
Wang Miaoyan moved her hands and feet, and when Wang Leyu fell so rudely, her hand hit the wall and broke the skin. A wisp of crimson blood ran down her white fingers.
Back then, it was she who cut off one of Wang Leyu's fingers. Now that it fell into his hands, Wang Miaoyan didn't want to bother with his words.
Wang Leyu squatted down to look at her, a smile crept up his cheek, and then it got bigger and bigger, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a long time, he finally stopped, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Wang Miaoyan, I miss you very much, I think about it in my dreams, I think about it day and night." I thought that by this time, I would have a lot to say, but it turned out that I didn't need to say anything. ”
Wang Miaoyan pursed her lips, stared at him hatefully, and said, "What's so funny?
Wang Leyu looked her up and down, nodded slowly, and said, "You are embarrassed at this time." He smelled of dog feces and wore ill-fitting clothes. You want to run for your life, but alas, you have nowhere to run. ”
"How do you know I'm going to escape from here?" this is what Wang Miaoyan is most puzzled about.
Wang Leyu hooked his lips, put his left hand in front of her, and slowly opened it. "This little finger of mine, I think you still have an impression. What did I do wrong, and I have to suffer for the Wang family?"
"Back then, the plan for the Xu family to fall into the well was formulated by my grandfather. It was my father who took us to Beijing to join my eldest sister. I worked so hard, and the greatest value of the result was to block a knife for your Miss Wang. ”
"Yes, you are a noble concubine, and I am a lowly concubine. Wang Leyu said unhurriedly, these words, he had already thought about them countless times in his mind, and at this time, he was particularly unfazed, but he heard Wang Miaoyan's heart beat.
"So at this time, you are the criminal that the emperor ordered to be arrested, and I am Langzhong of the Criminal Department. Wang Leyu smiled heartily and said, "Isn't this also fair?"
Wang Miaoyan was even more surprised. She was in charge of the eyeliner of the Prince's Mansion, how could she never notice him.
By the way, she had heard the name of the murderer in this criminal department and knew that the surname was Wang. However, she has never associated this person with the lowly concubine in her eyes.
Looking at his face, he quickly recalled that he had heard about the murderous name of the criminal department.
Wang Miaoyan shrank back, and hurriedly distinguished: "It's just to take one of your fingers, and it's not to kill you." When you came to the capital, if I had known, I would have taken care of you. ”
Glancing at Wang Leyu's smiling face, Wang Miaoyan said: "No matter what, we are all the same father. Whether it is you or me, we should take care of each other when we are in a foreign land. ”
These pale and weak words, Wang Miaoyan didn't think that he could convince Wang Leyu, but just out of the instinct of self-preservation.
But Wang Leyu smiled lightly and said, "You're right, since you are a brother and sister, it should be so." Therefore, I have been observing you from a distance, from the time you entered the Chu Palace, to the Prince's Mansion, I have been taking care of you. ”
He bites the word "take care of" very hard.
