Chapter 239: Revisited
In the quiet and elegant room, listening to the princess's eloquent talk, after quietly speaking, Tang Guxi and Su Chen both looked shocked and did not speak for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, Ruoxuan must have omitted a lot of details, and some places were vague and flickering, although Tang Guxi had doubts, he didn't ask more.
And Su Chen was even more surprised, what Ruoxuan just said, but is it true? Why don't you know about it? Even if he was not in the palace at the time, he would not have heard about such a big event after he came back. Thinking that he had returned to the palace for many years, whether it was Ruoxuan and Qi Yu's "family affairs", or the danger described by Ruoxuan, he didn't know anything, and he didn't feel a little ashamed......
"And then?" Tang Guxi saw that although her expression was sad, as if she had just escaped from the danger and still had palpitations, but there was joy in her eyebrows and eyes, and there was a faint look of shame in her eyes, so she felt that this matter was not so simple.
"Later......" Ruoxuan's eyes flickered, and a touch of red flew on her cheeks, "Later, I thought he was dead, or he was punished by his father, and I didn't dare to ask about it, so I had to worry all day long...... Who knows, a year later, I accompanied Su Yin to the cold palace to see his mother, and when I passed the corridor of the West Garden, I suddenly saw him......"
She looked at Tang Guxi with a smile and asked playfully, "Guess what happened to him later?" ”
Tang Guxi shook his head, looking at the princess's appearance full of anticipation, he pondered again, and thought: "Since you were not punished by your father, it must be a promotion to an official position?" ”
The two of them didn't know that Su Chen behind them had already blackened his face. As the royal brother, he was not worried about the identity gap between Ruoxuan and the guard, but was sure that after his father and Princess Dou learned about this, they would not tolerate her continuing to "unruly", and even the guard's life.
But obviously, Ruoxuan was immersed in it and didn't know it.
When she met the guard in the corridor of the West Garden, she thought she was dazzled, and she couldn't believe that she would see him again in her lifetime. After asking, it turned out that on the top of the mountain that day, after the guards woke up early in the morning, they found her sleeping and unclothed, and they were immediately frightened, hurriedly wrapped her clothes, endured her illness, and carried her down the mountain.
After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of the palace guards searching the mountain, and then, a few royal forest soldiers ran over not far away, and only after seeing that the princess was unharmed, I was relieved. Perhaps she was too tired or frightened, and the princess fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up. After the accompanying imperial doctor checked his pulse, he said that his jade body was unhindered, and it would be good to cultivate for two days.
The princess was taken back, and the guards were taken back by the Guards Commander. After returning to the palace, the king strictly investigated the matter, but in two days, he captured the thieves who violated the princess that night, and all of them were beheaded to apologize. And the princess's two personal maids, after being humiliated that night, both killed themselves under the knife of the bandit.
For the guard, he was condemned for failing to protect the three princesses, but because of his meritorious service in defending the princess after escaping the temple, he was not injured, so he was also considered a meritorious service. The two offset each other, made up for the fault, and were not punished.
However, the guards themselves proposed to the commander to send him to a remote part of the palace, away from the harem and the front hall, so that he could reflect on his sins. The commander also followed him, and then transferred him to the area of the Xiyuan Cold Palace.
Unexpectedly, today I met Princess Ruoxuan again.
After saluting, the guards did not dare to look at her, and before they could speak, they blushed from their necks to their cheeks. This look made Ruoxuan happy and laughed heartily. But even so, after all, she is also a young woman in her prime, not to mention the identity of a princess, thinking of the night on the barren mountain, she is naturally ashamed.
Now that she knew where the guard was and knew that he was not dead, she ran to Xiyuan every once in a while, and while asking Xue Yan to help cover people's eyes, she secretly whispered joy.
Who knows, the good times don't last long, it's not been a year, and two days ago, I learned that I was going to be married to the general's mansion by my father...... Such a horrific thing was like thunder on a sunny day, shaking her into chaos.
"That's why the princess made this decision, wanting to use the method of suicide to make the king give up?" After Tang Guxi listened to the whole story, he sank into it unconsciously, although he didn't show it, but he secretly admired this princess in his heart, and in comparison, he was a little inferior to her.
When I couldn't resist marriage and cry, didn't I compromise with my parents? In the end, I cried and sat in a sedan chair...... And Ruoxuan, although she is two years younger than herself, can come up with this way to save herself, either successfully convince her father to be freed, or lose her life and die.
It's clean, refreshing.
Such courage and courage are really unthinkable and uncomparable.
At the very least, she didn't dare to die easily. Although in the Linqing Dynasty, he always hoped to become an admired "heroine", and had been helping the poor to punish bullies, but he was quite self-aware in his heart, knowing that he was just bluffing on weekdays, and when he had to do so, he would only ask for help from others.
"That's right! Originally, everything was ready, and only the east wind was owed, but who knows......" Ruoxuan said dissatisfied, and glanced at Su Chen, "This east wind is wrong......
Hearing this, Su Chen turned his eyes to her, then shook his head, watched her gaze change to seriousness, and sighed: "Do you know that if this matter is known by my father, it is very likely to bring death to that guard?" ”
Ruoxuan's eyes trembled, and she lowered her eyebrows, "I know...... But ......"
"Do you want him to die?" Su Chen interrupted her, came to a stool and sat down, and looked at her, "Ruoxuan, it's not that Brother Wang intends to obstruct you, but the fact in the palace is that this is the case, and it is not that you and I can change it." If you don't want to marry into the General's Mansion, then Brother Wang can help you and think about it with you, but if you continue like this, you will be constantly involved in private education with the guard, and you will eventually suffer...... It's just you, and the person. Brother Wang...... I advise you to withdraw your mind as soon as possible, so as not to add to your troubles when you get it. ”
Ruoxuan snorted coldly, looked up at Su Chen, and her voice was crisp and sharp, "Brother Su Chen, then Xuan'er asked you, if it were you, the person you liked was not the daughter of a prince and a powerful person, and there was a huge difference in status between the two of you, what would you do?" ”
Su Chen's gaze flickered slightly, crossing Tang Guxi's face like a light feather dotting water, and then he took it back unhurriedly, stared at Ruoxuan, and laughed softly, "I will naturally choose the most thorough method." ”
"The most thorough way......" Ruoxuan was full of suspicion, "what is that?" ”
"That's ......"
Su Chen opened his mouth and was about to explain, but he heard a small sound of talking from outside the hall, and hurriedly got up and looked out of the window. I saw that not far away, my father and Princess Dou were walking in from the gate, and the two were talking, and they came straight to the west hall.
"Father and mother are here!" Princess Ruoxuan immediately jumped off the couch, her face was pale, and after being stunned for a moment, she suddenly threw herself on the ground, and without waiting for Tang Guxi and Su Chen to react, she messed up her long hair and clothes again, and turned around and whispered to the two of them, "Brother Su Chen, you said you wanted to help me!" ”
With that, she turned her head away, coughing hard and whimpering and weeping. On the beam overhead, the ununtied white satin still hangs...... (To be continued.) )
