There was no paper pasting on the windows, and the wind was smashing on people with impunity. There are no carvings on the window lattices www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion, but just frames made of rough wood. The moon dominates the nighttime weather, and the moonlight, which is bright and dark, has been replaced by starlight. The starlight outside the window is like fragments of glass gathering more and more, but if it is broken, it is broken, and no matter how you put it together, you can't put it together in its original shape.

This single cell, although the cell is simple, is well equipped. There are beds, quilts, tables, and lamps, unlike the filthy and foul smell of other cells, a stack of straw mats, a few rags, and the lighting is basically only by the ghostly torches in the dark night on both sides of the door.

The prison door is not hollowed out as outsiders have heard, and the guards on the outside can monitor the situation inside at any time, but a heavy iron door, as if it weighs a thousand pounds, and once closed, it can isolate all joy and sorrow.

There was no light in the room, only a pure ray of starlight, as clear as the Milky Way water coming from the sky. If a timid person were to be locked up in such a terrible place in the middle of the night, he would surely scream and cower in fear, and after a long time, he would most likely become insane and insane.

But after Chu Yunxi was pushed in by the two fierce and vicious jailers, her heart was unusually calm, she walked to the window, let the autumn wind sweep her cheeks, dispelling the heavy haze on her face and heart, the silver starlight fell on her palm, and the dust floating in the silver light also seemed to have life, dancing in her hands.

She didn't try to light the lamp, for the dim light would disturb the soft stillness of the starlight, illuminating the ugly pickles that hid in the darkness. She would rather just stay quietly, not annoyed if she can't see it, and not disgusted if she can't see it.

She sat on the bed, her feet on her knees, her spine straight and her shoulders open, her eyes slightly closed, and her tongue licking her palate, in a standard Taoist meditation posture. There was the squeaking of rats in the darkness, and the grim darkness of the prison was accompanied by living creatures, and even if it was disgusting like a mouse, it was not frightening, but warm.

Because she didn't think about the painful past of her parents, she was calm and stable, and there was no confusion in her heart. Although her inferences were not infallible, and though many of the tiny details that could not be verified, as if a jumble of branches would block her eyes from snooping into the truth, she had subconsciously identified this conjecture as the least damaging conjecture.

Maybe...... Of course, she knew that there were countless possibilities, and perhaps the most unacceptable thing for her was that all of them were illusions she had imagined in order to escape, but so what, she remembered the teachings in the Huayan Sutra: "If people want to know, all the Buddhas in the three worlds." We should contemplate the Dharma realm, and all things are created by idealism. "It is much happier to die with such thoughts than to die with a broken heart.

She suddenly smiled in the dark night, although she was settled in a Taoist posture, there were countless Buddhas circling in her heart.

When she got up again, she lit the oil lamp on the table with the fire on her body, and by lighting the lamp, she looked at every unbearable and filthy part of the cell. Finally, she sat back at the table, looking at the oily lamplight, only to feel a lightness, she began to replay all the tragedies in her mind from beginning to end, she tried to accept the conclusion that was completely opposite to the result of her speculation, but was surprised to find that she could accept it calmly, she understood that in fact she had already been truly relieved and let go, but she didn't know, and thought that she was still in a state of escape.

What did she begin to understand about the world? She blusced her cheeks and thought, yes, it had already started since Qing Chun was in distress.

When she was desperate to lead the three of Qing Chun to escape from Chang'an, it was the moment when she let go of her obsession. Man should live for the living, not avenge the dead. Whether it is her mother or the innocent people who have been killed by the prime minister, they are not the reason for her struggle, she should protect those who have been or will be persecuted, and bring them hope.

What's more, she turned her eyes to the dark corners that couldn't shine on the lights, not to mention the light and darkness, happiness and sorrow were born together, and they couldn't be separated, there was no eternal peace in this world, a sacrifice could not be exchanged for peace once and for all, bloodshed and killing would still continue to emerge, just like the endless troubles in a person's life, thorns cannot be cut off, and cutting off one may only give birth to more and denser thorns.

In the past, she always thought about how good it would be if she was fantasizing about her half-life pain if it was an illusory bubble, and how good it would be if she woke up with her relatives and sisters. But now it seems that it is a childish idea. The real feeling of pain will always come, but it is just a difference in form, just like the day when a loved one dies, will the heartbreak at that time be reduced? I think that only by calmly accepting and facing up to these misfortunes in life, and being prepared to confront them for life, can we achieve complete stability, just as the Heart Sutra says: there is no ignorance, there is no end to ignorance, there is no old age, there is no suffering, there is no wisdom, there is no gain.

There was a commotion outside, the iron door was heavy, and the words of the people outside the door were muffled into muffled babbling. Chu Yunxi blew out the candle and flashed behind the door, she knew that it must be the prime minister's person who came in. A clear shout sounded outside the door: "Someone has robbed the prison!" She shuddered, and drew the blade from her waist.

The acacia sword is as thin as a willow leaf, she easily dodged everyone's ears and hidden, and at this moment she has a sword to protect herself, which is much more reassuring. It seems that Jing Guogong really thought thoughtfully, and this prison of the Criminal Department was protected without leakage, so he was forced to make such a robbery.

The heavy iron lock was picked, and the sound of the clashing blades outside the door became clearer and clearer. Chu Yunxi's heart was crossed, if it was really a death catastrophe, she would end her life with a sword!

The iron door was pushed open, and the bright light outside the door shone into the room, and she shook her eyes, and she blocked her eyes with her hand as she retreated into the opposite corner. One man flashed in with a steel knife in his hand, a pair of bright eyes were looking at his target, and another rushed into the door, and the whip was thrown at his knife.

As soon as Chu Yunxi heard the whip, he knew that it was Lin Yueyuan who had arrived. After all, she was still involved in this infinite disaster, she blamed herself and hated, but at this moment she could not give up and retreat, she needed to cheer up, not for herself but also for her friends.

She stepped forward and stabbed with a sword, and the two of them surrounded each other in the middle, one left and one right. The man didn't make a move, but kicked the crack in the iron door wide, and the orange-red fire light emitted by the raging torch outside the door illuminated the man's cheeks, she took off the helmet, the phoenix eyes were slightly raised, her expression was shining, and her voice was not angry and arrogant: "It's me!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that her woman's figure was petite and slender than that of a man, her majestic demeanor at that moment almost made Lin Yueyuan mistakenly think that Li Can was here in person. She gasped, frowned and walked up and down, and glared at the boss with a pair of round eyes: "Yan Qingshuang?!" ”

Yan Qingshuang's face was like frost, she kicked the subway door and closed it, and then leaned her back against the door, and let out a few fighting cries from her mouth. He also rudely put the helmet on Chu Yunxi's head, took off the black cloak on his back, threw it to her, and asked Lin Yueyuan, "Is it the person you brought outside?" ”

Lin Yueyuan was stunned, a little distracted due to excessive surprise, and came back to her senses when she asked, "Yes." ”

Yan Qingshuang put Chu Yunxi's arm on her and said to her, "Then what are you waiting for, go quickly!" ”

She nodded, and also reached out to pull her arm, but Chu Yunxi pushed the two of them away and said angrily: "If I don't leave, who let the two of you take matters into your own hands to save me!" ”

Lin Yueyuan grinned, pushed her to Yan Qingshuang's side and said, "Don't worry, this time to save you, in addition to we have a bigger one, the sky is falling and he is on top, you can go with us with peace of mind." ”

She kept yelling in her mouth, gesturing twice with her hands, pretending to be fighting with them, pushing open the door and shouting: "Damn, Chu Changgeng has already let the prime minister's people rob him." ”

Yan Qingshuang was wearing the clothes of a prison guard of the Criminal Department, blocking Chu Yunxi behind her, and also cooperated with her quite tacitly, shouting at several officials of the Criminal Department who were separated from a distance and came to command: "My lord, the criminal has been robbed by the Prime Minister's subordinates. ”

Chu Yunxi followed her hand closely, bent over, covered his head, and pretended to be injured.

The people in the cell of the criminal department were shocked, and they rushed into the prison to check, and the three of them rushed out of the prison and got into the carriage under the cover of more than 20 masters of the Linjiang Palace.

Lin Yueyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, was still not honest, and hit the wall of the carriage a few empty punches, and shouted excitedly: "It's enjoyable, I haven't fought so happily for a long time, haha!" ”

Chu Yunxi, who took off his helmet, asked in a sad tone while holding his hair: "I thought it was Jia Heng's person, but I actually recognized a few familiar faces when I ran away just now, it seems that they are the guards in the Yuyang Palace, it shouldn't be the subordinates of the Seventh Highness of the Tanxiang Palace." ”

Lin Yueyuan withdrew his hand and smiled mysteriously: "Of course...... Not really. is a person you would never guess. Hehe, it's Li Can. ”

Chu Yunxi hugged his head and stumbled to his feet: "Alas, sins, sins! There is one more person who is tired of me. She sighed bitterly, "I know that you are not afraid of life and death, but you always have to take care of the entire Lin family, Concubine Shuniang and His Royal Highness the Seventh." ”

Lin Yueyuan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "It's a matter of urgency, so many worries come from that." Think about it, and the people will be gone. She pointed at Yan Qingshuang, "It's you, what's the fun." Don't you know that this is the Longtan Tiger's Den? ”

Yan Qingshuang raised her neck, brushed her hair as if nothing happened, and proudly looked like a peacock: "You are nosy, I have no father, no mother and no one to be involved." Who's like you drag your family and mouth, a lot of trouble. ”

Lin Yueyuan's face turned blue, as if he had been punched, and said hatefully: "I haven't seen you for so long, you are still dead, smelly and hard." ”

Yan Qingshuang smiled contemptuously, glanced at her and said, "Aren't you also a stone in the pit, don't you smell?" ”

Seeing that the two of them are about to fight in another round. Chu Yunxi saw the stitches and changed the topic: "By the way, Qingshuang, is my eldest brother in better health?" How did you come to Chang'an? ”

Yan Qingshuang pouted a little awkwardly and said, "He's very good, as strong as a cow, what can happen." I made a bet with him, I am willing to accept the loss, and promise him to come to Chang'an to protect you. It took me a lot of effort to get the text into the city and live in the Taoist temple in the south of the city, which delayed a lot of time. When I went to the street to investigate this evening, I passed by Gu's mansion and saw that you were being taken to prison, so I quietly followed behind and knocked out a jailer and sneaked in. I happened to bump into Lin Yatou with a group of guards with some orders from the Hou Ye, and she didn't let go here. You know her temper, if you don't get along, you will start to rob people, I just took advantage of the chaos to help the handle. ”

When Chu Yunxi heard this, he actually smiled a little, how heavy this prison of the Criminal Department was, it was really ridiculous to let them play with it like a game. She shook her head, lifted the curtain, glanced at it and asked, "This is heading north, where are we going?" ”

Lin Yueyuan hugged his chest against the wall, and said indifferently: "Of course I went to Linjiang Palace." ”

The Li Can that Chu Yunxi saw was not as arrogant, arrogant, stingy, and useless as Lin Yueyuan described, but a young man with a noble temperament that could not be looked at directly, he had the frivolity and pride of a man under the age of twenty, different from Shi Jiaheng's introverted, Lin Risheng's softness, and Yang Miao's wildness, he was sharp, sharp, and aggressive, but under the dominance of wisdom and ability, his wildness was free and relaxed.

All the etiquette is readily available, Li Can is very respectful to her, and there is no condescending interrogation or threatening and intimidating interrogation in her words, but a peaceful and polite interrogation, she and Lin Yueyuan have reached a tacit understanding, and they will not talk about all the details that involve others.

He nodded again and again, and only confirmed again and again that she had no conclusive evidence about the prime minister's stealing of beams and pillars, moving flowers and trees, and killing people instead, but for other cases involving the prime minister, she said that there was indeed evidence of the prime minister's handwritten correspondence.

Li Can expressed his admiration for her behavior of sacrificing life and forgetting death, and at the same time admitted that his help was limited to this, as for whether she would be auspicious or evil tomorrow, it all depended on the will of heaven. But Chu Yunxi is still very grateful, in addition to being grateful, she is still grateful. Thinking about this journey, no matter how difficult it is, there are always countless kind hands around her to help her move forward, things in the world always coexist with gains and losses, she has lost a lot, but she has also gained a lot, sad, happy, casual and willful, but also sad, she is not very old, but she has also experienced all kinds of tastes in the world, a thousand joys. At the thought of tomorrow, no matter what the outcome would be, the sorrow that had always bound her heart would disappear, she looked forward to the dawn as never before.

In the early morning, she was very carefully groomed, and every movement was like a solemn farewell to the end of her life. In the end, she hugged Lin Yueyuan and Yan Qingshuang, with a fresh smile like morning dew on her face.

Lin Yueyuan's eyes were hot, Yan Qingshuang's eyes were also sad and red, the two looked at her thin but tough back wrapped in a snow-white dress, and shed tears, blaming themselves in their hearts Why didn't they just drive her away, and why let her go back to this snake cave and wolf's den again, but it was too late.

The morning bell of Yuanxin Palace rang loudly, a flock of white doves was startled in the corner of the dim sky, the solemn bell surrounded the hall, the bright sun was about to break through the sky, and the brilliant golden sunlight would eventually sprinkle all over the world.

Although the few people waiting outside the Jiqing Hall all came for the same thing, they had their own different expressions and demeanors, respecting the country and the city, the prime minister was graceful, and the other people were preoccupied, but Chu Yunxi was like an enlightened person on the top of the mountain and cliff, always watching everyone without waves, even if he occasionally intersected with the prime minister's eyes, there was no hatred from last night, only indifference and indifference.

The morning bell rang three times, and Zhao Yili loudly announced that everyone had entered the hall. This was the first time in five days that the emperor had met with courtiers to deal with affairs.

Li Chengxun was wearing a dark color regular clothes, his face was pale, his expression was old, and there were a few more strands of white hair on his forehead, he sat crookedly on the imperial chair, leaned on his right arm on the armrest, and coughed slightly.

In recent years, his body has been aging more and more rapidly, and he has been exhausted by the killing, rushing, and struggle in his youth, and he often quits the court because of illness, so the major affairs of the court are mostly handed over to the prime minister to share, which also gives the prime minister the opportunity to control power to the greatest extent.

There were not many courtiers who were summoned, and everyone entered in order by rank, kneeling and standing, in an orderly manner, while Chu Yunxi, who was standing at the end, was like a white chess piece that suddenly broke into the well-organized chessboard, lonely and stubborn trying to disrupt the original chess game.
