==Chapter 159==

After the palace man who had come to deliver the message left, the door was locked from the outside again.

Jiu Niang returned to the wooden couch and sat down.

She has been locked up here for two days, and every day is like a year, but fortunately she didn't have to wait too long, and the king of Chu ordered someone to pass a message to her, and let her know what the general situation was.

Jiu Niang reflexively thought of Xiao Ru, without him, she could pretend to be undiscovered and walk around the East Palace, except for Xiao Ru in this world, there is probably no one else.

Since Xiao Ru's disappearance, the heart that has been hanging has finally come to fruition, but she never thought that she would pit herself in such a way at such a time. But no matter how angry she is, she is now detained in this palace, and it is difficult to protect herself, let alone revenge. However, the King of Chu was not implicated by himself, in the end, let Jiuniang put her mind at ease, even if the matter really reached the point where there was no room for reversal, at least with the King of Chu here, nothing would happen to Mumu.

After getting married and having children, it seems that the mentality has completely changed. In her previous life, Xiao Jiuniang, except for the King of Chu, was not afraid of heaven and earth, and it seemed that nothing could defeat her, but now she was full of worries, and she couldn't wait to see three steps when she took one step. If she had known that this was the result, Jiu Niang felt that she should have poisoned the prince earlier.

Yes, Jiu Niang has long had this idea.

Just when he was forced to hold the flesh and blood that he gave birth to in October, he went back and forth between the East Palace and the Chu Palace, and the kind of grievance and resentment that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and the darkness that he thought had disappeared slowly resurfaced.

But she can't, she's not alone, she still has the King of Chu by her side, and Mu Mu, and so many people who rely on herself. If you are not careful, what awaits you is a catastrophe.

So she was cowardly, she retreated, she let herself cower under the shell like a trapped beast, hoping that others would spare her, but in the end she almost died.

If she had known that this was the result, she really shouldn't have been a woman's kindness. Jiu Niang thought again.

After thinking about it, she laughed to herself again, and she went to the little high window, and looked up at the light outside.

This is the court, and it is said that none of the convicts who were thrown here could get out safely.

Will she still be able to get out of here?

Jiu Niang felt that she should not despair, she should believe in the King of Chu.

Xiao Ru listened to the maid's words of 'returning to Chang'an in a beautiful way', but she didn't expect to come back like this.

Along the way, in order to hide their traces, they did not dare to bring many people, only her and the maidservant, and two guards dressed as grooms and entourage. I didn't dare to live in a post station, I didn't dare to play a sharp child, and I didn't even dare to go to the tea shop on the road.

But he was still arrested, just when he first arrived outside Luoyang City.

Xiao Ru recognized the face of the person who took the lead in grabbing her, this person was the one who arrested her in her previous life. Next, Xiao Ru fell into endless panic and fear......

She knew, she knew that things were not so simple, that person would definitely catch her, no matter how deep she hid, no matter how far away, he would definitely catch her......

Xiao Ru's memory returned to his previous life.

Blood, blood everywhere, and then a cold, dead darkness.

She felt as if she was blind, she didn't know how much time had passed, she didn't know if it was dawn or night outside, it was always dark. When she opened her eyes, she saw the undulating dragon pattern on the hem of the black robe, and the black dragon boots embroidered with gold thread.

She smelled a very good scent, but it made her shiver, and her heart was about to burst.

All dead, all dead, only she remains......

She's probably going to die, too.

"Lift your face up."

She didn't dare to move, but she was forced to lift her face, and then she saw the face that had been in her dreams lately. She didn't remember what this face looked like, but at this moment, she suddenly had the idea of 'he looked like this', and at the same time thought that it was really him.

Sure enough, it was him, the person behind her sister.

And sure enough, he came.

The fire was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes when she heard a voice that was almost whispering.

"It's just a mouse, how can you be like her."

Immediately after, the figure turned away, and she saw the rippling dragon pattern coiling in her eyes, and a voice came from afar.

"It's not like it, but it's still an eyesore to look at, so let's ruin it."

"Hmm, this person is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, all of them are accounted for, don't let her die too easily."

……

Xiao Ru looked at the person in front of him in a daze.

She couldn't show a single expression, she could only feel her heart constricting to the point of bursting.

A faint, very pleasant scent of incense wrapped around the tip of her nose, and she seemed to hear a crack of her teeth.

She wanted to shout, she wanted to scream, but she couldn't.

Blood, blood everywhere, and pain, the pain that you can't survive and die......

King Chu frowned, looking at the face in front of him, and suddenly had a sense of trance. The face was very white as paper, his lips were blue, and his forehead and nose were covered with sweat. It can be seen that she seems to be scared and trembling all over......

She is not Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang will not be like this. There are many people who are afraid of him, and from the very beginning when the two met, Jiuniang was not afraid of him.

"You are Xiao Ru?"

Seeing that the woman kneeling on the ground did not answer, Changfeng stepped forward and kicked her with his toes. In the past, he didn't pay attention to the weight of his feet at all, but after flashing this woman's face in his mind, he subconsciously lightened his movements.

A princess's face.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was captured by him personally, if it weren't for Changfeng knowing that the princess was locked up in the palace at this time, he really felt that he had recognized the wrong person.

"What about you, reply."

Xiao Ru knelt on the ground, motionless, if it weren't for the fact that her eyes were still wide open, she would have thought that someone was dead.

Changfeng leaned up to check her condition, and said to the King of Chu, "Master, this person seems to be scared stupid. He reached out and shook it in front of her eyes, not even moving his eyes.

King Chu's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and Changfeng slapped him over.

"Don't play me dead!"

Xiao Ru fell to the ground, this slap seemed to break the spell, she looked at the King of Chu in horror, and at the same time retreated, rolling and crawling.

“…… Don't kill me, it's nothing to do with me...... I'll admit I'm jealous of her, but I'm just instigating a few words...... It was Shiro who stole the medicine in her makeup and poisoned her bowl...... It really has nothing to do with me, I didn't want to hurt her, I was threatened...... You've already killed the Wang family, so let me go......"

King Chu's eyes tightened, and he couldn't hide the fact that he could walk, and came to Xiao Ru's side.

When Xiao Ru saw him approaching, she was so frightened that she stepped back until she hit the wall behind him. She waved her arms vigorously, her expression was confused, and her eyes trembled: "You go away, you evil ghost, why don't you just let me go...... I'm her sister, my sister, how can you be so cruel to me...... My sister loves me the most, she won't forgive you......"

Her crying voice was like a night owl, harsh and ugly, "...... Emperor Chu, let me go, you are high, you are the Ninety-Five, I am just a slut, you can let me go......"

The voice stopped abruptly, but it was Changfeng who knocked her unconscious with a knife.

"Your Highness, this person is overly frightened, if you want to ask, you can't push it too hard." Changfeng has tortured people to extract confessions, and he has seen too many such situations. Some people have too poor psychological qualities, and they go insane when they are frightened, like a string that has been stretched to the extreme, and it will break if you are not careful. If it's slow, maybe there's room for maneuvering.

"Is there a way to bring her back to her senses?"

"I can only wait for her to wake up and see again, if it still doesn't work, I'm afraid there is no hope."

King Chu nodded, "It's okay, with this face, it's enough to use it next." ”

He turned back to his wheelchair and sat down, his fist clenched tightly under his sleeve.

……

Xiao Ru woke up from the chaos.

She felt pain all over her body, especially her chest, and just breathing made her shrink in pain. She subconsciously touched her chest, and suddenly her body stiffened.

"Awake? Then make Fang Cai's words clear. ”

Xiao Ru heard his neck rattling, and finally raised his head and looked at the person sitting in the dark.

Her pupils constricted, and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't play dumb with this king, you must know that this king has a thousand ways to make your life worse than death."

……

"Hey, what do you mean by that woman in there?"

Changfeng bumped Chang Shun's arm, and his eyes squinted to the door.

"You don't know, how do we know!" Chang Shun rolled his eyes impatiently and stayed away from him. "Listen to what you should hear, and don't listen to what you shouldn't." This is Chang Shun's experience. Although he is also quite curious, he will never ask like this idiot, His Majesty is clear that he just doesn't want people to know, since this is the case, then play stupid.

Changfeng snorted and didn't ask again.

In fact, his curiosity was not heavy, if it weren't for the fact that this woman looked too much like the princess, and he said something like that, he would never have wasted his curiosity. But he also understands what Chang Shun means, it's better not to know what he shouldn't know.

I don't know how long it took, the call of the king of Chu came from inside, and the two pushed the door in. The king of Chu was sitting in a wheelchair, and the woman was still cowering in the corner, half-covering her face, unable to see the expression on her face.

The king of Chu glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and wrote lightly: "Abolish her hands and feet, cut her tongue, don't let her die, the king of Ming Japan will take her into the palace." ”

"But—"

Changfeng hesitated, according to their previous plan, it must be the best for this woman to speak out and accuse King Zhao, otherwise, the evidence in their hands alone would not be enough to prove that this matter was related to King Zhao.

"This king only needs her face, and he doesn't need her to speak."

The king of Chu glanced at Changfeng warningly, Changfeng was cold, and immediately responded.

Xiao Ru in the corner of the wall seemed to have suddenly woken up, and shouted, his voice was poignant and sharp.

"King Chu, you evil ghost, you are not a human being, you deserve not to get your most beloved woman in your last life. Haha, when you see her dead, isn't it desperate and painful? I sue you, I could have killed her in my last life, and although she was a little worse in this life, she would definitely die in the end...... This is fate, this is fate, she can't escape...... Uh-huh......"

Changfeng stepped forward very quickly and covered her mouth, letting the sound be silenced in the air.

Chang Shun, who was standing on the side, was in a cold sweat, he stepped forward and kicked Changfeng, and said angrily: "What are you rubbing, this sound is too ugly, our family will definitely have nightmares at night." Oh, here you go, hurry. ”

He drew a dagger from his waist and threw it on the ground.

Changfeng picked up the dagger, only to see a flash of silver light, and after a miserable scream, Xiao Ru fainted, and blood flowed from his mouth.
