【111】Ling'er awakens
After leaving during the day, in the huge imperial study, the emperor was once again left alone.
The table shattered to the ground, and the sawdust had settled. Some of it got on the hem of his clothes, but he didn't even notice it. The whole person, motionless, kept echoing the words of the day in his head.
The little princess is seriously injured!
The little princess is seriously injured!
The little princess is seriously injured!
……
The crisp voice was like a firecracker bursting in his head, and it blurred his flesh and blood with his reason, thinking, wisdom, and wisdom.
Heart, unstoppable throbbing. It was like countless steel knives that were mercilessly inserted into his chest, sinking into his heart, not at all. When the cold tip of the knife entered the heart, it transformed into a sharp double-sided knife, churning rapidly in his body, cutting his heart into fragments and blurring flesh and blood......
He had experienced this pain once. That's what it feels like when that little thing falls through the cracks.
The sky crumbled, and all the light of dawn vanished in that instant. And then, falling into the abyss of hopelessness ...
If... If he hadn't made the decision to keep her at that time, would she have been smiling and drowning in his arms; If... If he hadn't been poisoned, then would she still be as noble as a queen, sitting on the throne of the sea of clouds. If... If she hadn't met him, hadn't saved his life, and hadn't had a later life, then would she still be safe and sound in the world...
It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.
Nangong Tianlan's skill cultivation should not be low. To kill Jun Liufeng, he should have used all his strength. Then, that little thing must be very badly injured.
The big palm with distinct bones subconsciously clenched into a fist. The beads of blood slid down the fingers and fell to the ground, swinging away a lot of red plums. In that bewitching color, that sly smiling face emerged. A raise of a hand, a throw, a brow, a raise of the eye, all so vivid.
But now, "Little thing, where are you?" Do you know, Lone is thinking about you..."You clearly said that you promised that you would not leave until you detoxified, so you will come back, right?
Now that Mei has been caught, everything is according to your meaning. At the beginning, when discussing the queen's politics, you scratched Wang An. Everyone thinks that you are a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and your wild nature is difficult to train. But you told Gu after Wang An's death that you know who the murderer is.
It turns out that you have already chased the soul of that old thing. Because you see through the situation of the orphan, you take precautions to help the orphan get out of the predicament.
Smart and thoughtful, how can you be hurt by the villain and leave alone.
Oh, by the way, it's because of Nangong Tianlan's face, right. If so, what if Lone destroys him?
Danfeng's eyes were deep, with endless pain. Looking up at the sky, the scenery is still the same. Looking around, I think things are not people.
The night was bleak and gloomy. The sky was dark and thorough, there was no moonlight, no stars, and a few dark clouds could be faintly seen, which looked extremely gloomy.
The weather in the past few days, like the atmosphere in front of me, is lifeless, and there is no light to follow.
The dungeon is built of high cold stones, and the foundation is ten meters deep, all of which are made of the hardest stones. There are iron nets all around, and on the iron nets, there are sharp teeth, and those who touch them see blood. If you force yourself to climb, you will be injured by sharp teeth and bleed to death.
As for digging tunnels, it is even more impossible. The depth of the foundation is one thing, but more importantly, the underside of the foundation has been watered with iron mortar, which is extremely hard.
Therefore, as long as it is a prisoner who enters the prison, there are only two ends. one, imprisoned until he died; The other, waiting for execution. Either way, there is no escape from a dead word.
The flames were raging, the sparks jumped from time to time, and the eyes lit up, and an eerie space appeared.
Inside the dungeon, the smell of death is everywhere. The terrible screams are endless, and they are very common.
Around the corner, a feminine-looking prison pawn had his eyes shining, staring at the perfect human skin that had just been peeled off from his hand.
Because he has been in prison all year round, whether it is a prisoner or a jailer, his heart is slightly distorted, in short, he is not the same as ordinary people. For example, preferences, such as living habits.
They are all very excited about blood, for those things that normal people think are extremely disgusting, and some even think that it is a kind of sensual enjoyment, the pursuit of art. Thus, I never get tired of it, and I am like a demon.
The prisoners here are all felons, and to put it bluntly, as long as they enter the prison, they are not far from death.
It is precisely because those jailers and prison guards know this clearly that they will act recklessly and recklessly. Vent their distorted hobbies on those condemned prisoners.
As soon as he stepped in during the day, a rough-looking prison guard immediately greeted him and knelt in front of him: "The little one has seen Grandpa Bai, but I don't know what Grandpa Bai is doing when he is here." There are small places where you can serve, and you always obey your orders. ”
During the day, he is the chief of Ouchi and the red man next to the king. His identity is different from that of an ordinary father-in-law, and in his hands, he holds the general guard force of Kyoto. It can be seen from this that the king's trust in him is very deep.
Anyone who has seen some of the world knows this. In Kyoto, you can offend the powerful and the officials, but if you provoke the daylight, then what you have to face is not as simple as death.
Don't look at this father-in-law's thin and feminine appearance, but the ruthlessness in his bones is very human.
"No need to be polite, get up. Today, a miscellaneous family has come in the name of the king to promote the criminals. There is no order, as long as Li Prison Dian assists him. During the day, he spoke very slowly, and with his signature smile, it made people feel easy-going and at the same time, they didn't dare to offend.
"The little one understands, the little one understands, Father-in-law Bai, please." Li Jiandian immediately got up, but instead of straightening his waist, he bent over and made a "please" gesture to let the day enter. Then as the people inside shouted: "Come on, quickly pull out the new felons today, and Bai Gonggong will be arraigned in person." ”
When the jailer not far away heard this, he immediately nodded, turned around and ran to the prison. Because I ran so fast, my hat almost fell off, which was very funny.
Bai Bai nodded with satisfaction, and then walked in slowly, and when he passed by Li Xuandian's side, he said meaningfully: "Is this trial today, it's not trivial, but you can't tolerate the slightest mistake, do you understand?" ”
When Li Jiandian heard this, his body was slightly stunned, and then he immediately signaled and nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, the little one understands, understands, thank you father-in-law for reminding me." As the words fell, he took out a snuffbox from his sleeve and stuffed it secretly into the day.
"This thing was obtained by a small accident. I heard that it was a baby, but unfortunately it was a small clumsy eye, and I couldn't see anything famous. This expensive thing is a little unsuitable in the hands of such a layman, so he gave it to his father-in-law to play with. ”
The method of bribery, no matter where it is, in which mode, as long as there are people like animals, there will always be an endless stream. Over time, it has evolved into a means. Especially, in officialdom.
No one noticed that the moment they received the snuffbox during the day, a gloom flashed in their eyes. It's just fleeting, and in a moment, it's back to the beginning. Thinking of the things that the king explained, these small flaws can be ignored.
Quietly put things away, and walked in.
Because he came in person during the day, the place where the prisoners were interrogated was moved to the "ground" character trial room. The interrogation room is divided according to the three levels of "heaven, earth and man". The word "heaven" is naturally the king, and if it is an ordinary interrogation, the prison code is routine, and it is the word "person".
During the day, I sit on a mahogany chair, and on the side, there is a table for teacups and snacks. On the table, Li Jidian had already prepared tea and pastries.
Five meters in front of Otsuki, there is a cross-shaped wooden frame with heavy iron chains wrapped around it. In general, it is hemp rope. The reason why I used the chain this time is because of Mei's special identity.
Although Emperor Jitian has sealed several of his big holes, there are many capable people in the world, and there are no surprises. So cautious, also just in case.
After a while, Mei was escorted by two burly jailers. On their hands and feet, they all wore chains. On his head, he also carried Tiekui. A prison suit, which has become ragged, and looking at the marks on it, it should have been whipped by a whip.
As soon as he saw Mei, Bai Bai immediately exclaimed and stood up, "Oh, what's wrong with Mei Gongzi?" How did you hurt like this? Who did this? When the words fell, he immediately pretended to be angry and asked everyone.
Seeing this, Li Prison Dian immediately panicked and knelt at the feet of Bai Bai, "The little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned." It's all because the little ones are not strict in discipline, so these rabbits will be tortured in private. The little one is guilty, ask the father-in-law for forgiveness..."This confession, if you really want to punish it during the day, you can't do it.
The law stipulates that the punishment for pleading guilty will be reduced by half. Besides, beating a few death row prisoners is a common thing in this prison. Everyone said that he was not strict in discipline, that is to say, he still recognized this crime for his subordinates. If this is really punished, it is estimated that it will lose most people's hearts.
During the day, he glanced at Li Jiaodian, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth. It seems that this old boy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Li Prison Dian get up, how can our family blame you, what are you talking about. Li Prison Dian has been guarding the heavenly prison for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, our family and the king remember it in their hearts, get up. ”
Anyone will say what they say on the scene, especially during the day. He followed Emperor Jitian, and Emperor Jitian didn't like to talk. Therefore, all kinds of communication, all kinds of exchanges and negotiations, he usually comes forward to deal with them.
Speaking of eight-sided exquisiteness, his clever tongue is like a spring, he recognizes the second in the world during the day, and no one dares to recognize the first. He still has this bit of confidence.
Speaking of this, everyone may feel strange, since he is so eloquent during the day, why do he always make a fool of himself in front of the emperor.
Is this, of course, there is a reason, because when he faced the emperor killing the sky, he couldn't use rhetoric, let alone scheming, so ......
"Little one, thank you to Father-in-law Bai." When Li Jiandian heard this, he immediately got up, the smile on his face was still the same, he was not afraid at all, and he didn't expect to do anything to him during the day.
How could he not know that little bit of his mind during the day, just turning a blind eye to it. If you want this kind of scheming person, when you can use it, you have to do everything you can to extract his surplus value. As long as it's a wall grass, it will always fall. Now, it's just not the right time!
"Okay, okay, after talking about it for so long, I haven't invited our famous Mei Gongzi to sit down." Turning his head, he glanced at Li Jiandian, and Li Jiandian immediately understood.
"Come on, please take a seat." When the words fell, the two big men immediately pressed Mei on the wooden frame, and then tied her up.
"Mei Gongzi, the miscellaneous family came in the name of the king this time. The king admires Mei Gongzi's talent very much, so if Mei Gongzi is willing to submit to my king, you can not only escape death, but also allow you to become an official and become a knight, and protect your wealth and glory. He got up during the day, holding a printed teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice.
The tone was so sincere that it didn't look like a lie at all. The conditions offered are also lucrative and tempting. However, a specially trained killer like Mei is dismissive of these.
After listening to the words of the day, there was no reaction at all. Motionless, looking ahead. It seems, not heard at all, and said anything during the day.
Bai Bai frowned, and looked at Li Prison Dian on the side with a puzzled expression.
Li Prison Dian immediately took two steps forward and explained: "Father-in-law Bai, since this kid came in, he has been like this immortal, and the little one also listens to the people under him. No matter how you fight, you just don't open your mouth, you don't say a word, your bones are very hard. ”
After hearing this, Bai Bai's face sank, and his expression looked very solemn, "It seems that the king's worries are really right." Reaching out, he touched his slender chin and made a thinking gesture.
"Oh? What is the king worried about, I don't know if I can talk to the little one? Li Jidian immediately leaned forward and asked, looking curious.
"Why, you want to know if the national affairs are not successful?"
"No, no, no... The small one doesn't mean this, the small one just sees that his father-in-law is worried and wants to help his father-in-law share the burden. If it's inconvenient for my father-in-law to say it, don't say it. It's a small life, but you can't afford it. Li Jiandian's head shrank, as if he was really afraid of being beheaded in the next moment. But his eyes were erratic, and there was no such mouth-to-heart fear at all.
"The miscellaneous family is scaring you, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about it. Do you know why the king suddenly returned to the palace ahead of schedule this time? ”
"The little one heard about it, it seems that there is a rumor on the rivers and lakes, and it seems to be a prophecy about some Jun family..."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know quite a lot."
"What is Father-in-law Bai talking about, no matter how small he says, he can be regarded as half an official, and he generally cares about whether the king is not."
"That's right, it's the prophecy sign that the Jun family disappeared nineteen years ago, in the palace."
"Really?"
"Really. But it's a pity that he was succeeded by this stinky boy. Bai Bai turned his head and glared at Mei who was tied up, which was meaningful.
This sentence frightened Li Jiaodian, and he was startled, and then confirmed again: "Father-in-law is saying that the prophecy sign is now in the hands of this kid?" ”
He didn't say anything more during the day, but nodded secretly, and the meaning was very clear.
"But... But hasn't this man been arrested? ”
"So it's going to be tried!" It's simple and clear, everyone is a smart person, and they naturally understand the deep meaning. The implication of this is that the purpose of this interrogation is not to target the headquarters of the "old ghost", but to the hiding place of the prophecy sign.
Because the prophecy was signed by his "hand"!
"I see!" Li Jiandian nodded, and suddenly realized. After a while, he raised his head suddenly, and said with some excitement: "Father-in-law, then let's hurry up and interrogate, and find out the whereabouts of the prophecy sign as soon as possible, so that the king can rest assured, right?" ”
"The miscellaneous family doesn't want to, but the problem is that this prisoner refuses to speak. The king said that if he still refuses to confess after tonight, then..." raised his hand and made a movement to wipe his neck, "This is called rather for broken jade, not for tile." If the king can't get it, no one else can think of it! Since this kid has hidden the prophecy, let it be a secret forever. ”
Li Jiandian gave a thumbs up, and then sighed: "Gao, the king's trick is clever, and he really deserves to be the king." ”
"So, the miscellaneous family came over this time, just to go through the motions. Interrogation or something, trouble is dead. Wait until this evening, just do it, clean and neat, and save more trouble. ”
"The father-in-law is more intelligent, and the little one admires."
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."Two laughter with different tones echoed in this closed interrogation room...
Yunhai City:
The smoke is full of smoke and water vapor, outlining a layer of haze, like a fairyland.
The purple flowers on the purple vines are blooming, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to see the purple spiritual power suspended in the center of the stamens.
Purple Spirit Flower, a flower unique to the Cloud Sea Palace. This flower was born with Ling'er when she was born. It is precisely because of this that the name Ling'er was chosen
The purple spirit flower in the palace is different from the outside world. The spiritual power is stronger, it belongs to the high level, and only Ling'er can use it.
In the spiritual cultivation spring, Ling'er still sat upright with her eyes closed, accepting the courage from Qinglan and the others.
In a trance, her soul drifted to the dark area of the last time.
"If you don't love me, you'll die!"
"If you don't love me, you'll die!"
"So, you have to love me! Gotta love me! ”
"But why, why don't you love me, why?"
……
A deep voice, with a hint of hoarseness, I don't know why, she always feels that this voice is inexplicably familiar. It's like, somewhere.
"Who are you?" Ling'er asked subconsciously, but she didn't answer as expected. It's still those few words, repeated, echoing in my ears.
"Why don't you love me, I hurt so much, it hurts, ah!"
The poignant call was different from the previous coldness, but helpless, desperate, as if imprisoned in an infernal hell. The screams of pain came from the heart, like a sharp sword, and those who heard it shed tears.
The sound of "it hurts" is like an ancient incantation, constantly hitting her brain, thinking, and memory.
Some vague, unobtrusive fragments quickly flashed in my mind.
But she couldn't see clearly, in the haze, it seemed that she only saw a pair of blood-colored eyes, if there were blood and tears...
"Who are you, who are talking, who are you!" After Ling'er shouted, she opened her eyes suddenly.
The purple eyes are dazzling, and the elegance is peerless. There was no moment of confusion, and the moment I opened it, my eyes were low with a clear color.
"Ling'er!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Master!"
……
Four different timbres sounded, all of which were familiar to Ling'er.
Purple eyes swept over, Feng Ling, Xuan Yi, Silver Wind, and finally landed on the pale Qing Lan.
"Brother Qinglan, I'm back!"
In the next second, he fell into a warm embrace. Qinglan hugged Ling'er's small body with a distressed face, and kept stroking her hair with her big hands, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back..."
No one knew how scared and heartbroken he was the moment he saw Feng Ling and them carrying her back.
The baby he has protected since he was a child, he is reluctant to beat, and he scolds half a sentence, but he was hurt like that!
He lived so long, for the first time, for the first time, that fear, that anger.
Ling'er in her arms clearly felt Qinglan's worries, so she was very well-behaved and let him hold it.
This is her family, and she wants to protect.
"Brother Qinglan, I'm fine, don't worry. This time it was just an accident, next time I..."
"Dare there be a next time?!" Before Ling'er finished speaking, a cold voice came down from her head, sounding terrifying.
Ling'er pursed her lips helplessly, and immediately responded: "Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Qinglan is angry." ”

Yesterday, I promised the two beauties to have a second watch, but as soon as I turned on the computer in the afternoon, my unlucky brother came back. The uncle wanted to play CF, and Dusty was killed. ,>_+``+
