Ji Cheng was not afraid, he looked at Chu Heng with contempt, as if he didn't take Chu Heng's threat to heart at all: "I was once made into a Gu person by Bai Zhen, and I have even tasted that kind of pain, are I still afraid of you children?" Don't waste your time. β
As soon as Ji Cheng's words fell, Chu Heng suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, she raised her eyes and stared at Ji Cheng with almond-like eyes, and after a while, the light in Chu Heng's eyes became hot a little bit, as if she suddenly had an idea: "Yes, you are not afraid of physical pain, but I don't know if you are afraid of the pain in your heart." β
Ji Cheng's eyes flashed cold and frightened, but the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, as if he had heard some funny joke: "You said the pain in your heart?" You told me this heartache to see. β
Chu Heng slowly bent down and put the food box in his hand aside, and when she straightened up again, the smile on her face was extremely cold: "There is a woman next to you, named Zhiyue, I heard that you treat her very unusually." β
Hearing Zhiyue's name, Ji Cheng's face suddenly changed.
Chu Heng had been observing Ji Cheng's expression attentively, and this change naturally couldn't escape her eyes. Seeing Ji Cheng's face darken, Chu Heng's eyes became brighter, she unconsciously took two steps forward, and her tone became more and more confident: "Are you afraid?" β
"Don't touch her, she's innocent." Ji Cheng's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Chu Heng with a hint of inquiry, "You won't attack her, will you?" You never hurt the innocent. β
"Wait and see if I never hurt the innocent." Chu Heng saw that Ji Cheng really cared about Zhiyue, and she was not in the mood to let Ji Cheng eat. He stepped forward directly and inserted the breathing tube into Ji Cheng's mouth, and then reached out and pressed him into the water, and then closed the lid of the stone box.
Get out of the house again. The sun had already set in the west, and the rainbow in the sky had disappeared, and the sound of the house being demolished next door was clearly heard in his ears, Chu Heng looked up at the sky, walked under the eaves and took an octagonal lamp, and went out of the courtyard door.
As soon as I got into the alley, a little guy dressed as a subordinate ran over: "Girl, do you want to lead the carriage?" β
Chu Heng shook his head: "You go and send a message to the proprietress of the wine shop on the top of the vine brewing mountain." Let's just say that in a month, my star picking hall will open, and I will order a batch of wine from her, and the wine will be good. How many to have. β
The little guy nodded hurriedly, and looked up at the sky again: "The little one can ride a horse, and he can come back before dark, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that there are eight houses in this alley. One month is just enough time for us to open up eight houses. Girl, I'm afraid this star picking hall won't be able to open within a month. β
"It's okay, you don't have to wait for everything to be done before you open." Chu Heng reached into his sleeve, took out a cloth bag containing gold particles, and threw the cloth bag to Xiao Si casually, "I'm going to leave for a few days, you look at it, except for the main courtyard behind me, this alley will be cleaned for me in the rest of the days." β
The little guy took down the cloth bag in his hand. Hurriedly picked it up, and nodded at Chu Heng again and again: "I will try to recruit more people." It's going to be done very quickly. β
"I'll leave it all to you." Chu Heng said nothing, and walked out of the street with the octagonal palace lamp that had not yet been lit.
The night gradually darkened, Chu Heng went out of the alley and went to the avenue, but he did not go in the direction of the Fujiwang Mansion, but took the horse and rode out of the city, and went straight to the Tengzhuo Mountain. After going up the mountain, he lit the octagonal palace lantern and carried the palace lantern to a remote col in the mountain behind the vine brewing mountain. There is a hidden cave in the depths of the col, and the outside of the cave is covered with vines and grass, and if a pedestrian passes by and does not know what is inside, he will not even notice that there is a cave here.
Picking up the vine grass, Chu Heng entered the cave, and casually put the palace lamp on the high stone, and the gloomy Shandong instantly brightened up, but it could only shine to the size of the place. Chu Heng bent down and moved away a large stone, revealing what was behind the stoneβthe Yunyue Box.
"I didn't expect to use it again so soon......" Chu Heng picked up the box, and there was a hissing sound from the box, which seemed particularly infiltrating in this silent mountain. Chu Heng lifted the lid of the box, glanced inside, and then quickly closed the lid.
Inside the box was a thin nematome worm that was biting its tail and wriggling back and forth in the box.
"This Gu worm can be used if it is practiced like this, it's just ......" A hint of hesitation flashed on Chu Heng's face, she looked down at the box for a long time and sighed, "Even if Zhiyue's current body is occupied by Donglin, I don't have any psychological guilt at all for moving her, but after all, there is a baby in that body that has been formed, and this Gu worm will affect the child in case it affects ......"
Chu Heng was a little undecided, she wanted to control Zhiyue's body and threaten Ji Cheng, but she was afraid of hurting the child in her belly. After a long moment, she turned back and put the box in its place, set the stone again to block it, and strode out of the cave.
Carrying the palace lantern and stepping out of the cave, turning over the horse, Chu Heng walked slowly around the mountain, and half an hour later came to the wine shop on the top of the vine brewing mountain. Outside the wine shop, Cha Mei really lowered her head and said something to a servant, and when she heard the sound of horses' hooves here, Cha Mei raised her head.
"Heng'er?" Cha Mei blinked, then squeezed out a smile on her face and hurriedly greeted her, "Someone just came to order a large batch of wine, so the Star Picking Pavilion is your business behind the scenes, right?"
Chu Heng nodded, with a faint expression on his face: "Actually, I don't care if I drink or not, the main thing is that Su Mo wants to find a place when he wants to find me." β
"Oh?" A touch of difference flashed in Chamei's eyes, "Do you want Niangniang to find you?" β
"Don't you want to look for me? Didn't he send someone to keep an eye on me? The corners of Chu Heng's mouth showed a hint of mockery.
Hearing Chu Heng's words, Cha Mei's face was a little unsightly: "What happened to the people you sent out?" β
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Cha Mei in surprise: "When did you worry about the life and death of a subordinate?" β
Cha Mei frowned when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Chu Heng has been riding on horseback and has never dismounted, she looks left and right, as if she is looking for someone looking for something. When Cha Mei saw Chu Heng's appearance, she knew that he was here to find the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor took a shower early and fell asleep, otherwise it would be really hard to say what would have happened if he met here.
Chu Heng looked at it for a long time. I didn't see Jiang Lan either, so I simply turned over and dismounted to break inside. But where would Chamei let Chu Heng enter the wine shop, she raised her legs and blocked in front of Chu Heng. Chu Heng glanced at Cha Mei. In the next second, Chamei's legs were weak and she fell directly to the ground. Chu Heng crossed the tea plum and walked straight to the wine shop.
The window on the second floor of the wine shop was open a crack, Su Moxin was standing behind the window and watching all this coldly, and when he saw Chu Heng breaking into the wine shop, a sneer appeared on the corner of Su Moxin's mouth, and he turned around and looked behind him.
There was a bed not far from Su Moxin. On the edge of the bed sat Jiang Lan, whose face was gloomy.
"If you dare to come, I will tell you to go and never return." Su Moxin took out a packet of powder from his arms and poured it into the wine jug next to his hand. The flask was placed on the table. After doing all this, she looked at Jiang Lan with burning eyes, "Lan'er, you were wrong once." But you can't go wrong a second time. This wine. You definitely want Chu Heng to drink it. β
"Mother." Jiang Lan raised her eyes and looked at Su Moxin with a look of displeasure, with a look of resistance, "I won't hurt Chu Heng, don't expect me to help you." β
"Huh." When Su Moxin heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, "Don't forget, how did the Jiang family die!" If it weren't for your indecisiveness and affection, how could this country fall into the hands of the thief of the Ji family now?! Now you have to protect that Chu Heng again. Doing this is worthy of the ancestors of the Jiang family. β
"Ji Cheng usurped the throne and seized power, what does all this have to do with Chu Heng? Why did mother have to put all the blame on Chu Heng? She's just a little girl who just turned fifteen! Her mother struggled with her at every turn. I can't help but look up to her too much! β
"You?!" Su Moxin stretched out her hand and pointed at Ji Cheng's nose, her arm was trembling in anger, "Why did I give birth to such a son as you?!" Are you sent by God to collect debts?! β
"What? Am I wrong? Because of an ethereal prophecy, you have mutilated a little girl countless times, is your heart and liver black? Jiang Lan's temper was already bad, and he was also angry when he was provoked by Su Moxin's words.
"Jiang Lan! You speak to your mother like that! Su Moxin's green muscles were about to pop out of Ji Cheng's anger, "Look at your nest, if you don't have me as a mother, you are nothing, you can't even be the emperor at all, this will be killed by your brother early, and you will have the strength to argue with your mother?!" β
"You still say......" Jiang Lan was angry, "Look at what you say, it's as if your palace change back then was right!" You killed my father! You killed the person who loved me the most in the world, and you kept saying that it was good for me. β
Su Moxin was suddenly a little speechless.
Recall, the first emperor was indeed very good to Jiang Lan, the first emperor had so many children, but Jiang Lan was the only one who could be taught by him personally. Now that I think about it, if the first emperor didn't pass on the throne to Jiang Lan, I really don't know who he would pass the throne to......
Maybe, maybe it was my mistake back then? Did something you didn't need at all? Maybe he didn't force the palace to rebel, and this throne would also fall into the hands of Jiang Lan......
Or...... No or! Su Moxin raised her eyebrows, she had done everything, why should she regret it?!
Su Mo's heart was gloomy, and he looked at his son with hatred: "I did everything for you, but in the end, you didn't have the slightest gratitude, how could I give birth to such a wicked ...... you?"
"Don't target me!" Jiang Lan stood up suddenly, his tone was low, "Everything you do is your own choice, I didn't let you do it, you keep saying it for me, but you hurt the people I care about the most!" This is for me, for the sake of harming me! β
"Jiang Lan!" Su Mo was extremely angry, and reached out and slapped Jiang Lan's face, leaving five red finger prints behind the palm.
Jiang Lan only felt a burning pain on his face, he didn't say a word, he only looked at Su Moxin with burning eyes, his eyes were full of stubbornness and resistance, as if he was still accusing Su Moxin.
After Su Moxin slapped Jiang Lan, her anger also dropped, she curled her hands, her face pale: "Since you look down on your own mother like this, why do you have to keep hiding under her wings to seek refuge." β
Jiang Lan frowned, and then a faint smile suddenly bloomed on her face, which seemed to be relieved: "Mother means that the child can leave?" β
"If you want to go, you can go, who is stopping you?" Su Moxin raised his eyes and glared at Jiang Lan hatefully, "It's just that if you leave me, you will be nothing, not to mention that you can't be restored, and you won't be able to be the emperor anymore, I'm afraid that you can't even be an ordinary person, and you're penniless, I'm afraid you can become a beggar!" β
"What does it matter if a beggar is not a beggar." Jiang Lan walked in the direction of the door, "Mother, take care." β
Jiang Lan pushed open the door and saw the person standing outside the door, and his originally angry face immediately changed color.
Chu Heng was standing at the door with an embarrassed face, when she rushed to the second floor, she heard the sound of quarrels in the door, she was too embarrassed to go in and disturb, and she was unwilling to leave like this, so she kept standing at the door like this, as if she was eavesdropping.
"Your Majesty......" Chu Heng smiled at Jiang Lan, his face was quite unnatural.
Jiang Lan frowned, and a look of annoyance flashed on his face in the next second: "Why did you chase after you again, I couldn't get rid of you by pretending to be dead?" β
Hearing Jiang Lan's words, Chu Heng was stunned at first, but the next second, her face relaxed again: "I know that you are pretending to be dead for fear of dragging me down, but now you don't recognize me because you want to distance yourself from me, and you are afraid that your mother will hurt me." Speaking of this, Chu Heng glanced inside the door, just opposite Su Moxin's eyes with a black face. Chu Heng smiled faintly at Su Moxin, and then stood up straight and looked at Jiang Lan, "Don't worry, I'm not so easily hurt now." β
Jiang Lan was silent and did not speak, and her eyes were lowered, so that people could not see the emotions in his eyes.
Chu Heng stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Lan's sleeve: "You used to protect me, but now I protect you." From today on, I will go wherever you go, and I will help you do whatever you want.
As soon as Chu Heng's words fell, Jiang Lan's emotions loosened in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Chu Heng, and his ears turned weirdly red: "What do you mean by this?" β
"Aren't you going to get out of here?" Chu Heng tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Lan, with a bright face, "Follow me, make sure you don't starve to death." β
Jiang Lan snorted coldly, shook off Chu Heng's hand, and walked straight downstairs: "I won't starve to death anywhere." β
"Jiang Lan." Chu Heng hurriedly chased after him, "You wait for me." β
"Don't follow me." Jiang Lan said such words, but his tone was not hard at all, but he was like summoning Chu Heng to follow him.
Chu Heng followed more closely: "No, you were so good to me before, I want to repay the favor." (To be continued.) )
