Chapter Eighty-Six: Breaking the Vows
When Xun Jiu went to the government doctor to carry the medical box and came to the Wuyuan, the empress was sitting under a plane tree, and a glass jar was placed on the stone table. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The empress's slender fingers rested on the wall of the glazed jar, and her fingertips outlined the shape of the small fish back and forth.
The sunset gilded her perfect side face with a layer of light gold, and from Xun Jiu's point of view, it was an innocent girl looking forward to the future in the glass jar.
His heart moved slightly, Xun Jiu couldn't bear to step forward to disturb, and stood in place for a long time without moving.
The flower resin came over with the melons and fruits that relieved the heat, and when she saw Xun Jiu, her body was blessed, and she called: "Miss Jiu." β
Hearing this, the empress turned sideways and glanced at Xun Jiu, instructed the flower fat that had already been placed in the melon and fruit to retreat, and stuffed a small piece of cold melon into her mouth with a toothbrush before she spoke slowly, "That night, you were the one hiding behind the ice bed in the funeral palace. β
This is an affirmative sentence.
Xun Jiu heard it very clearly, the empress was not talking to her in an inquiring tone.
She didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Where did the empress know, Xun Jiu didn't know, but she knew very well that the empress's IQ was by no means much worse than Fu Sheng, and it was easy to find out.
"You're the ...... I've ever seen," the empress paused for a moment, then continued, "The first woman Zichu is willing to get close to." β
Xun Jiu rolled his eyes in his heart, just the demon king's cold and repulsive appearance thousands of miles away, is it a woman who can't even raise sexual interest when she sees it? Who wants to be close to whom is not necessarily mileage.
I didn't hear Xun Jiu's voice, the empress slowly raised her eyes, and her tone was a little cold, "Zichu's affairs, I will not interfere, if he is really interested in you, I am happy to see it, but there is one thing, if I find out that you are approaching him for revenge, then I will definitely kill you with my own hands without hesitation." β
Yes, I met the Emperor of Democracy.
Xun Jiu sighed in his heart, and thought that the empress would scold her for being a fox spirit and shameless to seduce King Qin, and by the way, she threw a huge check to her and asked her to leave King Qin Yunyun.
However, it turns out that she has watched too much bloody plots, and even her thoughts are a little bloody.
Wait a minute...... Doesn't the empress have a fetish for younger brothers? Why don't you care about her and Fusheng at all? It doesn't seem to have a jealous expression on his face?
Could it be that he is bloody again?
Xun Jiu took a step forward and asked boldly: "The people's daughter is just a cloth cloth, dare to ask Your Majesty why you don't stop me from communicating with His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" β
The empress sneered, "Looking at the world, can you still find a famous lady who is right with Zi Chumen?" β
Xun Jiu tilted his head and thought about it seriously.
Fusheng's status, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is side by side with the empress, since he is the lord of the country, then except for the empress, no one can be right with him, and he does not dare to be right with him.
Xun Jiu tugged at the corners of his mouth and replied, "It seems to be ...... No. β
The empress chuckled: "Since no one can be right with Zi Chumen, what is the difference between the famous ladies in the world and the women in cloth?" β
This domineering word, this arrogant tone, is exactly the same as Fusheng!
Xun Jiu couldn't help but praise this empress with both beauty and wisdom in his heart.
The empress looked at her lightly, "Being able to win Zichu's favor is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life, if you dare to hurt him with affection, I will definitely want you to live rather than die!" β
Xun Jiu continued to roll his eyes, and after making sure that the empress was no longer speaking, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you don't say it today, the people don't know that His Royal Highness King Qin is interested in me, so in fact, I haven't thought it through." β
Empress: "......"
Dare to say in front of the empress that he wants to consider whether to accept King Qin's feelings, in the whole world, I am afraid that there is only Xun Jiu alone.
Seeing that the empress's face sank, she hurriedly smiled and said: "There is such a thing as feelings, you must be willing to be willing by you, how uncomfortable it is to twist together with wishful thinking, didn't you also warn me just now that I am not allowed to hurt him with affection, I don't even have affection now, wouldn't it hurt him even more?" β
The empress narrowed her eyes, "You don't like Zichu?" β
Xun Jiu acted as a question: "Whether you like it or not is not up to the people's daughters." β
She admits that she has a good impression of the demon king with a poisonous tongue, but it is only a loss, who knows what Fu Sheng thinks of her, in case people don't have that kind of meaning at all, then she will admit her feelings in front of the empress now, won't he laugh off her big teeth?
The empress looked at Xun Jiu suspiciously, "Your father and mother are no longer here, who still has so much power to restrain you?" β
Xun Jiuxin said, "My father and mother are not here, don't you all thank you!"
The empress seemed to see through her thoughts, retracted her eyes and whispered: "It's not your most important person who died, of course you think it's cruel to raid your house, think about it from another angle, if my father kills your beloved man, can you still stand here calmly and discuss with me about the Fengyue affair between me and your brother?" β
Xun Jiu was stunned, she really didn't think about this question.
In her cognition, the empress is absurd, tyrannical, perverse, bloodthirsty, and a complete tyrant, but today's words made Xun Jiu suddenly feel that she had entered a blind spot in her thinking before, and her views on the empress were all imprisoned within the scope of the labels that outsiders put on the empress.
To put it simply, when she had not yet come into contact with the empress, she formed a conclusion in her heart that "this woman is a tyrant", so much so that a quarter of an hour ago, she unilaterally thought that the empress had ordered the Xun Mansion to be copied was simply inhumane.
But what the empress just said made Xun Jiu fall into contemplation, and he had to reshuffle the cognition of the empress in his mind.
In fact, the empress is right, from another point of view, anyone who kills his most important person, that murderer is unforgivable, Xun Qian is the same, he killed people with his own hands, and he killed the empress's favorite male concubine, in this kind of feudal society where power is respected, it is completely reasonable to be raided.
And the empress's ability to speak calmly in the face of the murderer's daughter proves that she is not as inhuman as rumored.
If the empress really likes to kill people as the rumors say, then how could a small golden book and iron coupon stop her determination to kill the Xun family.
So......
Xun Jiu concluded in his heart that he can still stand here alive now because the empress had a trace of compassion.
Xun Jiu naturally would not show affection for the empress's subordinates, but from now on, her opinion of the empress will completely change.
At least, the young emperor in front of him was just a woman with flesh and blood and a heart, not a bloodthirsty demon as rumored.
The empress was a little tired between her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't bother to talk nonsense with her anymore, so she reached out and lifted her sleeve and put her wrist vein on the stone table, "Since you are here to ask for pulse, then the speed will be faster, and I will be tired." β
Xun Jiu came back to his senses and sat down, and clasped his fingertips on the empress's wrist vein.
After a long time, Xun Jiu retracted his hand, glanced around, and saw that no one had a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, if you don't take out the things in your belly as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will endanger your life." β
The empress did not respond to Xun Jiu's words, withdrew her hand and lowered her sleeves, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you told Zichu about this?" β
Xun Jiu said truthfully: "His Royal Highness King Qin only knows that you are not pregnant, and he doesn't know where you are uncomfortable. β
The empress obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Xun Jiu suspiciously, "Then what did you say to Zichu on the day you entered the palace to ask for my pulse?" β
Xun Jiu thought for a while and replied: "I told you His Royal Highness King Qin, every woman will have unspeakable pain, and later, he didn't ask again." β
The empress nodded knowingly and snorted lightly, "Count you as acquaintances!" β
Standing up slowly, the empress was about to go back to her room.
Xun Jiu stopped her, "Your Majesty, don't you ask the people if there is a way to help you take out that thing?" β
After all, the current empress is just a patient in her eyes, and it is the duty of a doctor to save lives and help the wounded, and she can't bear to watch patients being tortured like this.
The empress paused and didn't look back, "I don't need to, and I won't let you take out that thing, but if you dare to leak the slightest rumor, you will be the one who will be shot!" β
Xun Jiu didn't say anything again, but he fell into doubt.
Her pulse will not go wrong, and in a month at most, the tumor in the empress's lower abdomen will begin to deteriorate, and she will be in great pain, and it will be common for her to fall into a coma, and it is very likely that her life will be endangered.
But why?
The empress knew that she had something in her lower abdomen, but she still insisted that she would help take it out?
Is there really anyone in this world who is not afraid of death?
This woman is really ...... It's unpredictable.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xun Jiu asked the flower resin to take a pen and paper and prescribed a prescription that could temporarily delay the pain, sorted out the things and walked out of the Wuyuan.
It just so happened that Yu Yi walked over from the verandah.
To be honest, before today, Yu Yi gave Xun Jiu the impression of being elegant and gentle, but since Xi Heng pointed out that Yu Yi and Ah Zi secretly had a personal relationship, Xun Jiu contacted Yu Yi's identity again, and began to feel that this person was the most thoughtful and difficult to understand among the five beauties.
When they met at this time, Xun Jiu felt that he and Yu Yi did not have any topics, so he specially walked to the side and wanted to stagger them.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yi stopped when he passed by her, and called softly, "Miss Jiu." β
Xun Jiu let out a "chuckle" in his heart, but finally stopped, turned his head and smiled awkwardly, "Yu ......" was just about to shout, Xun Jiu immediately reacted, and changed his words: "I'm sorry, I still don't know your title, so ......"
"Just call me Yuyi." He smiled slightly, "Today's matter, thank you for your help, Yu Yi can't repay it, but if you have any needs, just tell me, I will do my best to help you." β
"It doesn't have to be." Xun Jiu smiled generously, "You should spend your thoughts on repaying your kindness on how to pass the empress's level." β
His face was slightly stiff, and Yu Yi didn't seem to be able to find the words to deal with it.
Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'm joking, you are the person of King Qin, and the empress will not look at the face of the monk but also at the face of the Buddha, so she will not embarrass you too much." "Ah Zi is not necessarily.
The second half of the sentence, Xun Jiu didn't say it, and he couldn't say it.
"Farewell." Xun Jiu smiled, waved his hand and carried the medical box back to his residence.
As soon as Xun Jiu stepped into the courtyard gate, he saw Tao Yaoyao with two maidservants waiting in front of her room.
Xun Jiu walked up, "The maid has something to do with me?" β
Tao Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and after retiring the maidservant, he asked in a low voice: "Gong Yi's poison can be cured?" β
Xun Jiu thought for a moment, and said with regret on his face: "Gong Yi is a bull horn tip, when I sent him back to the room just now, he didn't let me dispense the antidote, saying that he was ashamed of King Qin, it was better to die like this." β
"Huh?!" Tao Yaoyao's little face turned white with fright, and she stammered, "That...... You really didn't give him an antidote? β
Xun Jiu spread his hands, "People don't want it, why should I stick my hot face on my cold ass?" Besides, Gong Yi is not my husband, so I don't have to sleep hard because he doesn't want to live. β
Tao Yao was stunned, "What is ...... 'husband'?" β
Xun Jiu walked to the door and said as he opened the door: "It is a special synonym that makes people feel happy to listen to it, if you like it, you can call him that at any time." "Anyway, Gong Yi can't understand it.
Xun Jiu silently added.
Tao Yaoyao frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Husband......?" How does it feel weird? β
Xun Jiu put down the medical box, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Tao Yaoyao, raised his eyebrows and said: "It did feel weird at the beginning, but I got used to it after shouting a few more times." β
Tao Yao looked at Xun Jiu suspiciously, "That's how you usually call King Qin?" β
"Poofβ"
Xun Jiu couldn't hold back a sip of tea and squirted out, choking her cough for a long time before she could breathe.
Quietly made up for the way she shouted "husband" to Fusheng, the cold emperor, Xun Jiu immediately felt a chill all over his body.
Tao Yaoyao was obviously not so easy to fool, and her eyes became more and more suspicious.
Xun Jiu didn't want to slap himself in the face, so he smiled and said: "Actually, individuals have their own special titles, for example, you can call Gong Yi 'husband', but I can't call King Qin like that." β
Tao Yaoyao persevered and asked in good spirits, "Then what do you call King Qin?" β
"Hmm......" Xun Jiu held his cheeks and thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "I call King Qin 'Little Finger' in private." β
Tao Yaoyao: "...... Gong Yi is not much older than King Qin, why does his title have the word 'old', but your title of King Qin has a 'little' in it? β
Xun Jiu laughed twice, "Don't care about the details. β
Nonsense! Could it be that she would tell Tao Yaoyao that the title of "little finger" was because she and Ji Liming jointly suspected that Fusheng was not good at that aspect, and then suspected that the organs were too small?
Seeing that Tao Yaoyao still wanted to ask questions, Xun Jiu hurriedly took the first step and said: "If you go over now, it is estimated that you can still see Gong Yi for the last time." β
Tao Yaoyao's ears burned, sat on the stool and took a sip of tea, and then hummed softly, "Who told you that I was going to see him!" β
Xun Jiu looked flattered, "Oh, it turns out that you have been waiting in front of my room for a long time, and the first greeting Gong Yi's poison solution is actually changing your mind about me?" β
Tao Yao choked, then raised his chin, "I...... I naturally care about you, otherwise why would you be waiting here all morning? β
"Huh......" Xun Jiu pinched his chin and blinked, "If I'm not mistaken, we've only known each other for fifteen hours since yesterday, and if I hadn't gone to the front hall just now, you don't even seem to know my name." β
"Who said that!" Tao Yaoyao turned his head and snorted: "I saw early on that you were a woman dressed as a man, and then I investigated casually, why is it difficult to know your identity?" β
Xun Jiu held his forehead and glanced at his proud chest, indicating that he would not love women dressed as men from now on.
"By the way......" Tao Yaoyao suddenly had a serious face and asked Xun Jiu, "I heard that you went to Luwuyuan just now, did Her Majesty the Empress say anything?" β
Xun Jiu knew that Tao Yaoyao was asking if the empress had any other intentions for the incident of the hanging coffin falling, but when she went just now, the empress didn't say a word, and it was clear that she had completely relieved herself to hand it over to the Tantai family.
Shaking his head, Xun Jiu said: "You can relax, since the empress has already said that the high priest will deal with it personally, she will definitely not change her mind and condemn the Tao Mansion halfway." β
Tao Yaoyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xun Jiu said again: "But you may have some trouble. β
Tao Yaoyao's heart tightened again, "What do you mean?" β
"After all, so many servants died." Xun Jiu said: "The pacification and resettlement of their families is a problem, if this matter is not handled properly, it is very easy to cause turmoil, although there are not many servants who have fled to the upper mediocrity, but remember that a spark can start a prairie fire, and you must not take it lightly." β
Tao Yaoyao nodded approvingly, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already asked people to prepare a lot of money and food, and when Her Majesty the Empress returns to Beijing, I will personally go to appease the relatives of those servants." By the way, how is Agui recovering? β
"Don't worry!" Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Minor injury, I estimate that I will be able to wake up in these two days." β
Tao Yaoyao was completely relieved, looked up at the sky outside, stood up and said goodbye: "I still have something to deal with, so I'll leave first." β
After Tao Yaoyao left, Xun Jiu refilled another glass of water, and the servants of Tao's mansion sent food, she rarely had no appetite, so she hurriedly ate two bites and went to the mallow garden.
The Praetorian guards guarding the gate of the courtyard saw that it was Xun Jiu, and let her in without saying a word.
Xun Jiu looked flattered.
You know, the last time she came to give Fu Sheng petals, the guards stopped her for a long time before they couldn't stay up and let her in.
Entering the courtyard door, I glanced around, the entire room in the mallow garden was closed, Xun didn't see Fusheng for a long time, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, there was no response, but Jiao Yi flashed out from the side, "Little goblin, who are you looking for?" β
Xun Jiu glanced at him, "Naturally, I'm here to find the old goblin." β
"Your Highness is not here." Jiaoyi reclined on the side of the pillar and stared at her with great interest, "For the sake of impressing me with your great skills today, I decided to hear the purpose of your visit to the Mallow Garden. β
Xun Jiu: "......"
This is wonderful...... What a strong logic!
Xun Jiu ignored him and turned to leave.
Jiaoyi was surprised and shouted, "Little goblin, I don't remember where I offended you, you don't need to ignore me?" β
Xun Jiu snorted coldly, "I'm a person who has a special grudge against things that I have a bad impression of when we meet for the first time. β
Jiao Yi followed her amusedly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Remember the revenge of red jujube black chicken soup or the revenge of quail crystal soup?" β
Xun Jiu swallowed his saliva, coughed lightly, and changed his words: "Of course, in front of food, hatred can also be turned into motivation to eat. β
Jiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and said arrogantly: "I know that your appetite has been nourished by this chef, and you can't get used to eating things outside, how about it, can't you swallow dinner?" β
Xun Jiu pursed her lips, she really didn't eat much just now, and it was because she saw the scene of Xi Heng's suicide in the daytime, and she was anxious to find Xiao Liu Quan, so she didn't have much appetite.
However, since the chef himself spoke, there was no need for her to have trouble with the food.
Nodding, Xun Jiu turned his head and blinked his starry eyes at Jiaoyi, "Chef, Chef, I adore you so much, you look the most handsome in cooking, don't want to be handsome." β
"Ouch, my mother-in-law......" Jiaoyi stretched out his hand to brush off the goosebumps all over his body, and he automatically moved away from Xun Jiu like a ghost.
With the dishes cooked by Jiao Yi himself, Xun Jiu had a great appetite this time, and it was already dark when she finished eating, so she lit a sheep's horn wind lantern and came to the mallow garden again, this time she could see the bright lights in the courtyard from afar.
The Praetorian Guards still didn't ask, and let her into the courtyard directly.
Xun Jiu came to the door of Fusheng's room lightly, and was about to eavesdrop, when Fusheng's calm voice suddenly came from inside, "I can't talk to myself alone, you don't have to work so hard to eavesdrop." β
Xun Jiu: "......"
Coughing heavily, Xun Jiu hung the wind lamp on the branch outside the door, walked in with steps, and accused righteously: "I'm just a beautiful girl who has just reached the end of the day, you imply that you are the only one in my room, you are seducing and luring in disguise, so it is easy to cause a fire, do you know?" β
Fu Sheng stood up and picked up the wick, and turned to look at her, his eyes reflected the light of the candle flame, slightly warm.
"I remember that you once said in the Qin Wangfu that you were both civil and military, and it was just a fire, and you had a way to extinguish the fire, didn't you?"
Xun Jiu was very sure that Fu Sheng was very serious when she said this, so serious that she almost thought that he didn't know what the "fire" she was referring to at all.
Xun Jiu felt speechless.
Fu Sheng looked at her speechless, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Liu Quan has left." β
βwhatοΌβ Xun Jiu's shock turned into anger, she strode forward, grabbed his arm vigorously without saying a word, glared at him viciously, her chest rose and fell violently because of her anger, "You don't believe in your words!" Obviously, as long as the hanging coffin incident is over, you will let me see him! β
Fu Sheng Qingjun's face sank instantly, stared at her tightly, and approached her step by step, "What, do you miss him?" β
"No, ......" Xun Jiu saw such a Fusheng for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak, shaking his head, and his body involuntarily retreated.
"If you don't see each other, it's like three autumns?"
"No ......" Xun Jiu took a step back.
"Then it's funny to open your mouth and shut up his name, shouting?" Xun Jiu continued to retreat, his back had already hit the hard wall, and there was no way to retreat.
"I ......" Xun Jiu's heart beat like thunder, this classic wall dong posture, she is very familiar, but no matter the past and present life, she has not experienced it personally, now it is her turn, Rao is she usually likes gags, and she can't stand the powerful aura of the man in front of her, Leng Zhuxiang just entered her nose and made her mind confused, lost her ability to think, and even spoke incoherently.
"Provoke me, how are you going to put it off, huh?" Fu Sheng stopped in front of her, propped one hand on the wall, and clasped her wrist by the way, using a little too much force, so painful that Xun Jiu bared his teeth.
She chattered her teeth, "You, you'd better not mess around, I've been hot-tempered for the past two days, don't blame me for pouring all my anger on you later." β
"We'll see." Fu Sheng said as she spoke, effortlessly imprisoning her other hand.
His body was still as cold as the fragrance of cold bamboo, but his breathing was not as quiet as usual, and it was so hot that it almost burned her whole body.
Xun Jiu's entire body was pressed by Fu Sheng, unable to move at all, and he suddenly felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.
Although she and he had this posture in the Qin Wangfu on the first night, the situation at that time was fundamentally different, and it was obviously a mistake.
And at this moment, far away from Shangyong, and in someone else's house, Fu Sheng doesn't know which crazy person to smoke and play wall dong without saying a word, this stimulating feeling is burning every inch of Xun Jiu's skin, and the two contradictory feelings of shame and stimulation are intertwined back and forth, making her feel numb and at a loss.
Xun Jiu admires all kinds of beautiful men, especially the ascetic type of Fusheng, which is a challenge for her, and she has also fantasized about peeling off his ascetic coat with her own hands, touching his thin and delicate lips that don't know how to taste, and even more.
She never thought that one day he would take the initiative.
In Xun Jiu's cognition, Fu Sheng is the kind of person who is noble and self-controlled, cold as frost, and has strong self-control, and he can make him lose control so much, he must be really angry, right?
Could it be that he is...... Jealous?
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu raised his eyes tremblingly, forcibly held back his frantic heartbeat, and didn't dare to look at his stunning face close at hand, slightly offset, "Are you ...... eating?"
"The Qin Wangfu has raised you for so long, ask for some interest." He interrupted her coldly, tilted his head, and sent his lips to her small mouth.
Xun Jiu didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this moment, he only knew that his heart was beating fast, as if he was about to fly out of his body in the next second.
She suffocated for a moment with every inch of Fu Sheng's delicate lips, her chest rising and falling sharply from a slight wheezing, rubbing against his chest.
Fu Sheng's whole body seemed to be on fire, and the eyes that still had the last trace of reason ignited in an instant.
"Your Highness, there is a situation!" Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of Jiaoyi beating up.
Xun Jiu was frightened, struggling to escape Fu Sheng's confinement, and under the pull and pull, her head tilted fiercely and hit the wall, Xun Jiu screamed in pain.
Fu Sheng's lips that had fallen were impartially holding her earlobe.
Xun Jiu's whole body froze.
Time seemed to stand still in this moment, and I couldn't hear the sound of Jiaoyi outside, the crackling of the wick in the house, and the burning breath of Fusheng close to my ears.
She could only feel an electric current running through her body from top to bottom on her earlobe, making her unable to move at all.
It was as if the snow-capped mountain, which had been silent for many years, finally had cracks and eventually collapsed.
It was as if a spark had been blown up by a strong wind and set on fire.
His lips weren't as cold as she had imagined, but tinged with a hint of warmth, just as the tip of his tongue was poking out to taste her earlobe.
He didn't seem to know what to do next, and only greedily sucked on her already red and hot earlobes.
The last resistance in Xun Jiu's heart had been washed away by his enthusiastic but ignorant jerky movements, leaving only the weakness of his whole body.
He took a deep breath again, and the light and cold bamboo fragrance on his body was still in his nose.
At this moment, Xun Jiu felt that she was not resisting or even coveting this breath.
In other words, she was already familiar with this taste when she first entered the Qin Palace, so that every time she saw him later, she always had a feeling of being absent for a long time.
For a moment, Xun Jiu suddenly wanted to take this man from his body to his heart to every inch of his breath.
Since he wants to go crazy tonight, let's go crazy together!
Xun Jiu raised his empty hand, wanting to hook Fu Sheng's neck.
The volume of Jiao Yi outside the door increased a little, "Your Highness, the spies have followed the trail of eighty-one children to find the place where the Chu State processes jade, and there will be a batch of goods to go to sea early the next morning." β
Xun Jiu was just about to put on the hand that helped Sheng's neck, and silently took it back.
For the guy who was out there, she wanted to rush out and stomp on him.
Fu Sheng obviously wanted to kill more than Xun Jiu, so he let go of her unwillingly, straightened up, straightened his robe, pushed open the door and walked out, looking at Jiao Yi coldly, "Are you finished?" β
Jiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at his master in confusion, the sky was too dark to see his expression clearly, but he could feel the colder aura around his master than before.
Shaking his body, Jiao Yi pondered and said, "After speaking, what instructions does Your Highness have?" β
"Yes." Fu Sheng's face tightened, and he coldly spit out a word, "Get out!" β
Jiaoyi: "......"
Jiaoyi is entangled, should His Highness tell him to get out or get over?
Obviously, Fu Sheng knew the temperament of his own guard very well, and frowned: "If you dare to count the leaves, I will throw you out!" β
Jiao Yi was even more entangled, "Your Highness, do you want me to stay or go out?" β
"Get out!" Fu Sheng scolded coldly.
Jiaoyi, who was yelled at for no reason, walked out of the mallow garden with a blank face.
Jiaoyi was puzzled and felt that he had been wronged, so he went to Gongyi with a blank face.
Gong Yi hadn't slept yet, sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at the smuggling route of the Chu Sea that he brought back last time.
Hearing the knock on the door, he quickly put away the drawings, got out of bed and pushed the door open, and was a little surprised when he saw that it was Jiaoyi standing outside the door, "It's so late, what are you doing?" β
Jiao Yi didn't answer, he walked in and sat down and poured himself a large cup of tea before muttering reluctantly, "I was kicked out by His Highness!" β
Gong Yi's face twitched, closed the door and turned to look at him lightly, "Why?" β
Jiao Yi said angrily: "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't have come to you." β
Gong Yi sat down, listened to Jiao Yi tell him what had just happened, and then raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at him, "I guess, His Highness was not alone in the room just now. β
"Impossible, right?" Jiao Yi was a little uncertain, and lowered his tone, "Even if there are still people in the room, then I haven't done anything dirty about killing people and setting fires, how could Your Highness drive me out indiscriminately?" β
Gong Yi glanced at him speechlessly, "You better go back and count the leaves by yourself, I'm going to rest." β
==
After Jiao Yi left, Xun Jiu, who was finally freed, clutched his chest and gasped, and at the same time was a little resentful, if Jiao Yi didn't appear, she might have already tasted the taste of Fusheng.
But when I think about it, if her aunt visits in the past two days, if she really hooks up the thunder and fire, she won't be able to extinguish it even if she wants to.
With a sigh, Xun Jiu straightened his somewhat messy sideburns, ready to take the opportunity to slip out.
Because Fu Sheng's ring-breaking behavior just now made her still look like a thief, her pace was faster, and she just wanted to go back to the room to calm down.
As soon as I walked under the laurel tree, I saw Fusheng coming over.
Xun Jiu panicked in his heart, and quickly raised his neck and pretended to look at the stars, "What, it's late at night, I won't disturb you to rest, good night!" β
I wanted to run away, but I didn't want my wrist to be grabbed by Fu Sheng and pulled hard.
Xun didn't stand firm for a long time, and a stumble slammed into his chest.
The heat that had just subsided suddenly came to her heart again, Xun Jiu secretly took a deep breath, her arm was grabbed by him, she frowned deeply, and roared: "Bastard! What are you catching me for? β
Xun Jiu has a height difference with Fusheng because of her age, she raised her head, and her chin barely reached his shoulder.
The height was at a disadvantage, and Xun Jiu was even less confident that he could deter him, and he was suddenly deflated.
But her appearance at this time, standing on tiptoe, pouting dissatisfiedly, her sparkling eyes in the daytime stared at him watery under the moonlight, indescribably charming.
Fu Sheng's Adam's apple slid up and down, the hand that grabbed her wrist did not loosen, and her voice was low and muffled, "Didn't you just come to disturb me in the middle of the night?" β
"Fart!" Xun Jiu suddenly jumped violently, she finally gave birth to the face of a troubled country, how can she seduce people in the middle of the night with such a bottom line?
Fu Sheng looked at her little face flushed with anger, the corners of her mouth hooked without a trace, but her voice was cold, "You have successfully disturbed me, are you not ready to compensate?" β
This sentence made Xun Jiu stunned, and she suddenly thought of the jerky and ignorant action when he held her earlobe in the room just now, as if she really didn't know what to do next.
"Poof", Xun Jiu couldn't hold back after all, and laughed.
Fu Sheng frowned, a little displeased, "What are you laughing at?" β
Xun didn't answer for a long time, and the other hand covered his stomach and continued to laugh, laughing enough before teasing him, "Abstinent people want to break the vows, but they don't know the right way to break the vows?" Ouch, His Royal Highness King Qin, why are you so cute? β
Fu Shengjun's face darkened.
Xun Jiu took the opportunity to break free of his hand, stood up straight, and said funny: "Come on, come on, I'll teach you." β
As she spoke, one hand reached out to the cloud-patterned broken gold belt around his waist, and her little finger hooked, but she was not in a hurry to untie it, only rubbed it back and forth along his waist and abdomen.
Xun Jiu didn't do anything about this action, but Fu Sheng felt that her hand was like a flame with magical power, making the blood in his whole body boil in an instant.
Those who have adhered to the guidelines for twenty years seem to be clamoring to break out of the confinement line.
Xun Jiu saw that he had obviously been aroused by the fire, but he was still stiff, maintaining a hard expression, he couldn't help but chuckle, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, "Do you know what the empress said to me when I went to Wuyuan during the day?" β
Fu Sheng really felt her restless fingers gently pinching his waist and abdomen, his breathing tightened, and he quickly looked away, and his tone was obviously cramped because of Xun Jiu's teasing, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say?" β
Xun Jiu slowly let go of the hand that hooked his belt, looking "pitiful" and "crying".
Fu Sheng's brows furrowed deeply, "What the hell did you say?" β
Xun Jiu snorted and said aggrievedly: "The empress said that I was a vixen, and said that I would not be ashamed to seduce you." β
Fu Sheng squinted suspiciously, staring at her, "And then?" β
Xun Jiu continued to "cry with a sad face", "Then she said that she could give me a large sum of money and let me leave you, as far as I wanted." β
Fu Sheng's narrow eyes narrowed into a line, "And then?" β
"I decisively refused." Xun Jiu raised his head, his face was firm, and his expression was serious.
"Why refuse?" Fu Sheng knew that the empress was not a secular person, let alone say such a thing, what Xun Jiu said, eighty percent of it was made up by herself, but he still wanted to know the reason, and seemed to be expecting her to say something to break the current ambiguous relationship between the two and bring the distance closer.
Xun Jiu raised his sleeve and wiped away the tears that he didn't have, and said angrily: "It's too bullying!" How can she talk about me like that, and beat me with money to get me to leave you! β
Fu Sheng curled his lips happily and waited quietly for the following.
Xun Jiu continued to be angry, "The most annoying thing is that the money given is so little, after I leave you, I have to buy clothes, cosmetics, raise a little white face, and invite a chef, that little money is not enough at all!" β
Fu Sheng: "......"
The feeling of being poured cold water, he felt that he really felt it at this moment.
Closing his eyes and suppressing the depression in his heart, Fu Sheng looked at Xun Jiu again, and his tone returned to coldness, "So, the reason why you came to me late at night was to ask me for silver?" β
"Or what do you think?" Xun Jiu blinked, looking innocent, "Your Highness, you are in a high position, how can you only be worth the little silver given by the empress, if this is spread out, won't it make the world laugh?" Therefore, I think you should make up the money out of your own pocket, so that I can walk with face and you will not be ashamed. β
"Xun, long!" Fu Sheng gritted his teeth and paused word by word, "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
"Yes!" Xun Jiu blinked again, "The empress didn't agree with me to follow you, saying that she would hit me with silver and let me get out, it just so happened that I was very tight on money and wanted silver, but I felt that the silver she gave was too little, so I came to ask for it." β
Fu Sheng's voice became deeper and deeper, "Let me ask you, in what capacity do you want this silver?" β
"This ......" Xun scratched her head in embarrassment, she was here to trick him, would she admit that she was a little lover?
Fu Sheng approached her and asked, "When have we ever been together?" β
"Aha......" Xun Jiu laughed dryly, then raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, "I thought that the two of us standing together like this was called 'together', could it be that we understand differently?" β
Fu Sheng was helplessly teased by her nonsensical words, and with a hook of his slender arm, he easily imprisoned Xun Jiu in his arms.
Xun Jiu struggled hard, but his strength was amazing, and her movements were like grasshoppers shaking trees, which was of no avail.
Xun Jiu was helpless, raised his foot and stepped on his instep fiercely, and said angrily in his mouth: "Let go of me, what kind of man is the one who moves his hands and feet!" β
"How about moving your mouth?" The faint sound of Fusheng above her head made her whole body tingle.
In the next second, without waiting for Xun Jiu to react, Fu Sheng had already wrapped one hand around her waist, and the other hand clasped the back of her head, and the thin lip flap was repeated.
The moment the lips touched, Xun Jiu's whole person was stunned, his brain was blank, and only one thought was left.
He kissed her?!
Oh no, it's clearly a punishment full of anger.
domineering, crazy, angry, and devastating, so that Xun Jiu couldn't even breathe.
Holding back the dizziness of his head, Xun Jiu reached out and kept beating his chest.
Her first kiss should be gentle and romantic, not domineering like now, which suffocates her.
Fu Sheng seemed to feel the anger in her fist, and let go of her with a slight gasp, but the hand around her waist did not let go.
Xun Jiu gritted his teeth and glared at him, "Fusheng, what are you crazy about!" β
Fu Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at her gritted teeth, suddenly remembering what she had just said, she couldn't help but be angry again, and her slow voice was infinitely annoyed, "Don't you want to use my money to go out and buy a house to raise a little white face?" Come, show me the method of breaking the vows you just made from beginning to end, and as soon as the king is happy, he will pay you the money as tuition! β
Xun Jiu was originally annoyed, but after hearing his words, he just wanted to laugh.
Tsundere people are always so awkward when they are jealous, obviously caring that she is leaving to find Liu Quan, but she just doesn't admit it, but she can kiss her with domineering actions until she almost suffocates.
Fu Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him who turned angry and laughed for some reason, she clearly still had unsubsided love and tide on her face, and when she smiled like this, it was like a spring flower swaying on the branches, making his heart that was just about to sink uncontrollably light again.
As if sensing his emotional aura, Xun Jiu hurriedly said: "I can warn you, you promised me in the Qin Palace, don't tease me, otherwise you will ......."
"Tonight, didn't you provoke me first?" Fu Sheng glanced at her faintly.
"Loosen up, I'm out of breath!" Xun Jiu twisted his body and tried to break free from his arms.
Fu Sheng let her go as he said.
Secretly gasping, Xun Jiu glared at Fu Sheng again, "You slander!" Bloody mouth! I'm clearly here to bid you off, oh no, a debt collector! It's because you're sanctimonious and can't resist the temptation to break your vows, so you put all the blame on me. β
Fu Sheng slowly walked to the stone bench on the side and sat down, his eyes glared at Xun Jiu, "In this case, you still seduce me first." β
Xun Jiu: "......"
Without waiting for her to speak, Fu Sheng continued: "You said before that if I flirt with you and don't marry you, I will report to the official, then you came to seduce and lure me tonight, can I also follow suit and send you to the official?" β
Xun Jiu was speechless for a moment.
Fu Sheng was originally a prince with a lot of power, and the "official" who could help him "avenge his grievances" in his mouth could naturally only be the empress.
Thinking of the words that the empress had said to her during the day, Xun Jiu felt his whole body tremble.
That's a cheerful democratic emperor, if Fu Sheng is cheeky and shakes out all the things tonight in front of the empress, the empress is very happy, and comes to a holy decree to reward her to Fu Sheng, then won't she have to become a tool for Fu Sheng in the future?
Although she admits that she does have a good impression of Fusheng, it does not mean that she can accept the three wives and four concubines in the Qin Palace.
She is a modern person, how can she share a husband with another woman?!
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and said: "I have no money, and my life is rotten, even if you speak like a lotus in front of the empress, you can't get anything from me, it's better to let me live early, and I should be regarded as accumulating virtue for myself." β
At this time, the sky was dark, and Xun Jiu's tone was as nonsensical as ever.
But with the help of the wind lamp under the eaves, Fu Sheng still clearly saw the loneliness that flashed in Xun Jiu's eyes.
He didn't understand why she was in such a mood in an instant, but his heart was indeed inexplicably twitched by her sudden change of emotion.
Xun Jiu is not a hypocritical person, and she admits that she has a good impression of Fusheng.
At the same time, she is also a quick-witted person, and it can be seen that Fu Sheng also has a strange affection for her, but she doesn't know how many percent of this wonderful "affection" is.
But now, it is not the time to investigate Fu Sheng's good impression of her, but that she, as a person who has been educated in the 21st century and has crossed over with modern education and thought, has to face the common phenomenon of men having three wives and four concubines in feudal society.
This is a question worth pondering.
After all, Fu Sheng's good impression of her is likely to be just a novelty, as long as this freshness passes, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not lose her favor and become an abandoned woman.
If there is such an ending in the future, then she will definitely take advantage of the present to quickly cut off the budding feelings.
In Xun Jiu's world, emotion and reason do not conflict.
She will not grovel and lose her nature for the sake of a man.
If a relationship is cheap enough to be maintained with dignity and nature, then she also disdains it.
Yawning, Xun Jiu said tiredly: "I'm sleepy, go back to my room and sleep." β
After the words fell, Xun Jiu walked out of the mallow garden.
Tonight, Fu Sheng's sudden behavior of breaking the vow really caught her off guard, so that she had been in a daze with a blushing heart just now, resulting in excessive energy consumption.
Xun Jiu thought to himself, it was time to go back and sleep well, maybe when he woke up tomorrow morning, she and he would forget about it.
Fu Sheng didn't stop her anymore, and her narrow eyes deepened a little in the thick night.
Stretched out his index finger and touched his lips, where there seemed to be a residual fragrance between her lips and teeth, and his heart fluttered, Fu Sheng was annoyed that she disturbed his mind at the same time, and at the same time felt that the taste was really wonderful.
With his eyebrows slightly condensed, he turned around and went back to his room.
==
When she returned to the room, the servants of the Tao Mansion had already prepared warm water for her to bathe, and Xun Jiuhao didn't have time to bathe in her clothes, when she heard a gust of wind passing by outside the door, and someone knocked on the door after a while.
"Who?"
Xun Jiu wondered, who would come to her at such a late hour?
"Cousin, it's me." Ji Liming's voice came in.
Xun Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after handing over the bottle of medicinal juice to her during the day, Ji Liming was gone.
Standing up and opening the door, Xun Jiu looked at the people standing outside, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you come to me so late?" β
Ji Liming smiled, "Loneliness is looking for you." β
Xun Jiu rolled his eyes and was about to close the door.
"Hey, I'm kidding!" Ji Liming hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, and said busily: "It was Xiao Liu Quan who asked me to bring a letter to you." β
Xun Jiu closed the door for a moment, his face was stunned, and he stared at Ji Liming suspiciously, "Are you serious?" β
Ji Liming snorted lightly, "When did my cousin lie to you?" β
Xun Jiu looked at him, "You also said that you didn't lie to me!" Then why didn't you tell me when I mixed into the coachman's team yesterday that Liu Quan was not in the prisoner car at all? β
"This ......" Ji Liming said with a dry smile: "Actually, at the beginning, I also guided you to find the carriage according to the marks I made the night before, but later the convoy set off, and I learned that Liu Quan was not in the prisoner car, and you also know the situation at that time, the Black Armor Army and the Imperial Guards guarded the prisoner convoy tightly, and I couldn't inform you at all." β
"And then?" Xun Jiuyu was still angry, glaring at him, "Why did you leave me alone halfway?" β
"Ouch, conscience of heaven and earth!" Ji Liming hurriedly stretched out a hand to make an oath, "I definitely didn't leave you alone, but I have been hiding in the dark, and later when I met Jiaoyi, he told me that Zichu had something for me to do, so I had to leave." β
Xun Jiu looked at Ji Liming's sincere eyes, reluctantly believed it, opened the door and let him in and sit down.
Ji Liming saw that Xun Jiu's face was still not very good, thinking that she was still angry with herself, so she quickly poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't be angry, I promise you that I will never leave you alone halfway next time." β
Xun Jiu shook his head at the tea cup he handed over, "I'm not feeling well, don't drink tea, change the water." β
"Okay!" Ji Liming didn't say a word, and quickly took a new cup to add water to her.
Xun Jiu took it, took a sip and asked in a low voice: "What Fu Sheng asked you to do is to help Gong Yi find the thing you handed over to me today?" β
Ji Liming nodded, "Zichu only learned the news on the way to Shangyong that someone was going to frame Gong Yi, so I asked Jiao Yi to bring me a letter and asked me to turn back to Yanjing and go to Qin Wangfu to bring that bottle of things." β
Xun Jiu was slightly surprised, "So you went back to Yanjing again?" β
"Not really!" Ji Liming complained: "I said a long time ago that I accompanied my cousin to find Xiao Liu Quan, but Zichu is so jealous that he won't let me get close to you, he has so many guards, and he doesn't know how to call one casually, let Ershao me run errands all day long, is it easy for me!" β
When Xun Jiu heard him say that Fusheng vinegar was strong, his ears burned a little.
Ji Liming keenly sensed her unnaturalness, chuckled lightly and teased: "Cousin, don't be shy, you and him have such a well-informed relationship, I won't mind." β
Xun Jiu: "......" Is this a question of whether you mind or not?
Xun Jiu was originally drinking water quietly, but when he heard his sentence "know the relationship between the roots", one couldn't help but squirt.
Raising his head, Xun Jiu said with an embarrassed face: "Cousin, do you really think that I am ...... with Fu Sheng?"
"Shhhhh......h
Xun Jiu was stunned, thinking that someone outside was eavesdropping.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Ji Liming said angrily: "Girl's family, you can't be shameless." β
After a pause, he said again: "Of course, if you are not ashamed in front of Zi Chu, I think he will not mind." β
"I'll you!" Xun Jiu slapped the table heavily, "Ji Liming, what have you been thinking about all day!" β
"Could it be that I am wrong?" Ji Liming looked at Xun Jiu amusedly, "That night in the funeral palace, you two ......"
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Xun Jiuyi said righteously: "Your cousin, I am innocent!" β
"Oh." Ji Liming picked up the teacup, drank it lightly, and his voice was also very light, "Then why is your mouth swollen, bitten by mosquitoes?" β
Xun Jiu: "......"
She knew that Ji Liming had always regarded her as a sister, and she definitely didn't have that kind of thought, but now in the middle of the night, how could she say that she was also a lonely man and a widow in the same room, and his knowingly asking obviously made Xun Jiu even more embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground first.
After pouring a sip of water, Xun Jiu pretended to choke, and immediately covered his mouth and coughed desperately, which eased the embarrassing atmosphere a little.
After a long time, Xun Jiu stretched out his hand, "Bring it, what letter did Liu Quan ask you to bring to me?" β
Ji Liming drank the last sip of tea, slowly took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and handed it to her.
Xun Jiu took it and opened it to take a look.
She recognizes Liu Quan's words, very muscular and strong, the kind that penetrates the back of the paper, which makes people feel very vicissitudes, Xun Jiu has always wondered if this baby has also crossed over like her, otherwise how could she have such a mature bearing at a young age.
The content of the letter is very simple, it is a farewell letter. Liu Quan expressed his gratitude to Xun Qian for his adoption in a few letters in the letter, and finally explained that he was leaving and might never return.
After reading it, Xun Jiu couldn't help but be rude.
"Damn!" She said angrily: "Sister, I risked my life to go into the Yeting Palace to bring him food, okay?" How could he thank me without mentioning a single word! β
Ji Liming expressed surprise at Xun Jiu's reaction.
After a while, he said: "Actually, Liu Quan said that he has a gift for you, but the premise is that you have to pick it up in person." β
Xun Jiuhu squinted suspiciously, "He has such a good heart?" β
Ji Liming shrugged, "Didn't you also say that you were kind to him?" Then it's normal for him to repay you! β
Xun Jiu touched his chin and muttered softly, "Huh...... No, that kid borrowed money from me a few days ago, where did he get the money to buy me a gift? Could it be that you're fooling me? β
"I don't know." Ji Liming showed a little helplessness, "But if you want to go, I'll accompany you." β
"Go! Must go! Xun Jiu's voice was firm, "It's rare that the iron rooster is willing to pluck its feathers, even if it crawls, I also want to see what the hair looks like." β
Ji Liming saw that her previous displeasure had vanished, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, you prepare, let's go." β
After Ji Liming finished speaking, he stood up and went outside to wait.
Xun Jiu quickly finished bathing and drying his hair, and then packed the simple sanitary napkins he made overnight with a bag, and before leaving, he took a few pastries and walked out of the door.
Seeing Ji Liming staring at her, Xun Jiu glanced himself up and down and asked, "Do I want to change into men's clothes?" β
"It doesn't have to be." Ji Liming smiled, "It's the same if you pretend to be a man and don't pretend to be." β
Xun Jiu: "......"
She is tired and unin love again, through another world, she also wants to learn from other people's women to dress up as men and play chic all over the world, okay, but why is it ruthlessly exposed every time? !
The cruelty of reality once again reminded Xun Jiu - don't play with women pretending to be men.
Realizing that his words were too targeted, Ji Liming hurriedly changed his words, "Actually, I'm not targeting you, I can also see it at a glance if I change to other women and women pretending to be men, after all, your women's figures are too different from men's, and it's indescribably awkward to pretend to be men, and it's difficult to recognize it." What's more, we're in a hurry right now, and we can't wait for you to change your clothes. β
All right!
Xun Jiu silently forgave him.
Before leaving, Ji Liming asked: "When I came, I saw that the mallow garden was still lit, do you want to say goodbye to Zi Chu, so as not to worry that he can't find you." β
With a light snort, Xun Jiu shook his head again and again, "No need, I didn't marry him, why do I have to think about him first?" β
Ji Liming looked at her funny, stopped talking, and took her out from the back door of the Tao Mansion with ease.
There were two horses prepared outside the back door, Ji Liming remembered what Xun Jiu had just said, and asked tentatively: "I just heard that you are not feeling well, can you ride a horse?" If you can't, I'll hold you. β
"This ......" Xun Jiu hesitated a little, she was like this now, naturally she couldn't ride a horse, but that wouldn't let Ji Liming hug her, right?
Ji Liming saw through her thoughts at a glance, and chuckled: "If you mind, we can also walk out of the city, anyway, after leaving the city, it is a mountain road, and we can't ride a horse." β
Xun Jiu was puzzled: "Isn't Liu Quan around here?" β
"Not there." Ji Liming shook his head, "Zi Chu doesn't know what to ask him to do, listening to his tone, it seems that he is gone forever." β
"Huh?" Xun Jiu was shocked, "Didn't Fusheng want him to die?" β
Ji Liming was amused by her words, and said "ha", "It's not enough to die, Zichu is not so frustrated, it's just that the task is more difficult than those children." β
Xun Jiu thought for a moment, and said softly: "Let's walk, it's rare to have a chance to talk for a while, it just so happens that I have a lot of questions I want to ask you." β
Ji Liming turned over and dismounted without saying a word, handed over the horse to the Praetorian Guard at the back gate, and walked forward with Xun Jiu.
Xun Jiu saw that he was doing everything according to his own appearance, his heart was warm, and he unconsciously bent his lips and teased: "You are really obedient." β
Ji Liming raised his eyebrows, "Er Shao, I have always been obedient to women, of course, it is also aimed at a beautiful woman like you, and others may not be." β
Xun Jiu glanced at him with disgust and sneered, "That's why I'm going to heaven if I praise you twice." β
Ji Liming smiled, "As long as it's a cousin, whether it's praise or depreciation, I will automatically regard it as a compliment." β
Xun Jiu couldn't help him, so he changed the topic and asked: "You just talked about the eighty-one children, didn't they be martyred?" β
"Of course not." Ji Liming replied: "Zichu just experienced ups and downs when he was a child, so it caused the surface coldness now, in fact, he is also kind-hearted, at least he will not harm others, eighty-one children are eighty-one lives, he can't watch those children die like this." β
Xun Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, although she had long known that Fu Sheng would not really let those children go to the funeral, but after all, she didn't know enough about Fu Sheng, she didn't know what he was planning, and she was always a little worried. At this time, listening to Ji Liming's words, I really put my mind at ease.
After thinking about it, his curiosity was aroused by Ji Liming's words again, and Xun Jiu asked tentatively: "You say...... King Qin...... Experiencing ups and downs as a child? β
Before she crossed over, Xun Qian's pearl in the palm Xun Jiu was a well-behaved eldest lady, who didn't hear about the world, and she was even less interested in paying attention to the deeds of these royal heirs.
Therefore, there is basically no memory of the original body of Fusheng's previous events.
Xun Jiu originally thought that Fusheng was nothing more than outstanding political achievements, amazing talents, and standing out among the princes, so he would be favored by the first emperor and granted great power, but he never thought that people born in the royal family would have such a bumpy experience as Ji Liming's mouth?
mentioned Fusheng's past deeds, Ji Liming's face quickly darkened, and he was silent for a long time before raising his head, and his smile was a little far-fetched, "Those things, don't mention them, you just need to know that Zichu can't harm people's lives for no reason." β
Xun Jiu nodded, since Ji Liming didn't want to say it, there must be something unspeakable, she didn't need to get to the bottom of it, at this time, moderation is the greatest respect for the other party.
didn't hear Xun Jiu's question, Ji Liming bent his lips happily, and said softly: "If you are tired, just say it, it's a big deal that my cousin will carry you up the mountain later." β
"Not tired." Xun Jiu shook her head, although she was unwell, this little road was not difficult for her.
"Then go slower, too." Ji Liming saw her speed up her pace, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Liu Quan's side is not in a hurry, if you walk too fast now, when you reach the mountain road later, your feet will hurt." β
Finally, he added, "Of course, there is also a cousin here, and you will not be burdened." β
Xun Jiu's eyes suddenly became hot and wet.
In her last life, she was an only child, her parents were sound, and her family all treated her as a treasure in their hands. But she didn't expect that a trip to Zhangjiajie would allow her soul to penetrate this unfamiliar Dayan Dynasty, and she was raided and became an orphan girl just after she came.
Although Xun Jiu is cheerful, sometimes when he thinks of his parents who are still in that world, and when he thinks of them suddenly losing their daughter at an age, Xun Jiu feels unspeakably uncomfortable.
In this strange continent, Xun Jiu is undoubtedly lonely, she has no relatives, no friends, and cannot confide in anyone that she does not belong to this world at all.
Therefore, the appearance of Ji Liming is tantamount to a touch of warm sunshine in the snow.
Accommodating and warm.
A little bit warmed up her frozen body and mind.
Xun Jiu slowed down, turned his head, and called softly: "Cousin......"
The voice was low and hoarse.
Ji Liming looked at her, "Huh? β
"Why have you been so good to me since the first meeting, don't you dislike me for being an orphan girl that no one wants?" She asked.
"I don't like it!" Ji Liming raised his eyebrows, "But the fortune teller said that I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I just sent an orphan girl to be my sister, so I reluctantly accepted you." β
Xun Jiu sneered.
When he speaks, he always likes to smile at the corners of his mouth, and this is also true just now. But Xun Jiu clearly saw a touch of sadness in his eyes.
Ji Liming's parents died when he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of loneliness, the reason why he treated her like that is probably because he doesn't want more people to go through the same hardships as him?
Realizing that this topic was too heavy, Xun Jiu didn't continue, looked at the closed city gate in front of him, frowned, and said, "It's too late, the city gate is already closed, how can we get out?" β
Ji Liming handsomely stroked his forehead and squeezed his eyes at her, "Who is the second young man?" If this little thing can be difficult for me, then how can I be courteous in front of beauties in the future? β
"You wait here." He said, "I'll go and say hello to the soldiers defending the city." β
Xun Jiu nodded, stood still in place.
Ji Liming strode towards the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city came out to stop it at first, but then I don't know what Ji Liming told them, those people stopped talking after looking at each other, and it didn't take long to open the city gate.
Ji Liming walked back and called to Xun Jiu: "Cousin, let's go!" β
Xun Jiu quickly walked up and followed him.
Out of Shangyong City, soon set foot on the mountain road.
Ji Liming was worried that Xun Jiu was too tired, so he took the burden on her shoulders and carried it herself, and by the way, took out the night pearl prepared early in the morning to illuminate it.
Xun Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the mountain that could not be seen, and asked suspiciously, "How could he be on the mountain?" β
"Not in the mountains." Ji Liming explained: "There is an Amber River behind this mountain, which is the boundary between Chu State and Shangyong County, he is waiting for you on the bank of the river, he can pass through the official road, but then he will go far away." β
Xun Jiu nodded in understanding.
Seeing that she didn't want to speak anymore, Ji Liming's eyes moved, and finally she couldn't help but speak, "Cousin......"
Xun Jiu rolled his eyes, "Huh? β
Ji Liming asked: "Xiao Liu Quan has been in your house for so long, has he told you what he used to do and where is his home?" β
"Nope." Xun Jiu shook his head directly, "He has a dull temperament, he doesn't talk much, and he is very quiet when he is at our house, except for the occasional hello when he sees my father, he sometimes even ignores me." β
"That's it......" Ji Liming suddenly said.
Xun Jiuhu stared at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you know his true identity?" β
"I don't know." Ji Liming smiled, "You are the person who has the most contact with him, and you don't even know it, how can I know?" β
"Then why did you ask this for no reason?" Xun Jiu was puzzled.
"Curiosity, of course." Ji Liming blinked, "Aren't you curious about his identity?" β
"What's the use of just being curious?" Xun Jiu said indifferently: "He refused to say it." β
Ji Liming smiled, "So you have to seize the opportunity to ask later." β
Well, it's a good thing to ask.
Xun Jiu thought in his heart, but he didn't ask Liu Quan's identity.
Although she was extremely curious about this child, compared to his identity, Xun Jiu wanted to know what Xun Qian told him before he died.
In the middle of the night in the forest, the mountain wind is cold, and the branches and leaves rustle.
Ji Liming used the night pearl to illuminate while taking care of Xun Jiu in case she was physically exhausted.
Xun Jiu was a little funny, "You don't have to be too nervous, I'm not so delicate." β
Ji Liming pursed his lips and complained in a low voice: "That kid is really, I want you to go to him, isn't it a toss for such a long way?" β
Xun Jiu was also very helpless, if it weren't for the damn truth, she wouldn't want to come to the mountain in the middle of the night to find someone.
This time, the two of them didn't talk much, but they both invisibly quickened their pace, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the night was already very deep, and there was a little mist around them, and they couldn't see the situation under the mountain behind them, but they could faintly hear the sound of running water.
"Let's take a break!" Ji Liming took out a silk handkerchief, wiped it on a piece of bluestone, and motioned Xun Jiu to sit down.
Xun Jiu took the burden on Ji Liming's shoulders and opened it, took out the pastry that Fang had brought by the way, and handed a piece to Ji Liming, "After walking such a long mountain road, you must be hungry too, eat a piece first to replenish your strength." β
"I don't like sweets." Ji Liming shook his head, "I don't like meat anymore, these sweet things, I can't get used to eating them." β
Speaking of sweets, Xun Jiu suddenly remembered that she heard Gong Yi claim to like sweets during the day, she took a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, and said after eating: "You people are really more strange than the other, Xiao Squeak likes tangerine peel candy, Gong Yi likes sweets, but you don't like meat." β
"What's this?" Ji Liming rolled his eyes, "If you know a hobby of Zi Chu, maybe you can even laugh off your front teeth." β
Xun Jiu was instantly aroused by curiosity, and raised his eyebrows at him, "Fu Sheng also has unknown quirks?" β
"Well...... Ji Liming deliberately sold Guanzi, "I really can't say it, if I betray him, maybe he will let all the Qinglou in the world close the door in a fit of anger, so where will I have fun in the future?" β
Xun Jiu sneered: "You don't sleep with a girl, what are you doing in the Qinglou all day long?" β
Ji Liming's eyes flashed slightly, and he was speechless after a moment of trance.
Xun Jiu noticed the change in his mood, so he simply spread his hands and sighed: "Forget it, this girl doesn't bother to probe others**, with that idle time, I might as well go back to sleep and sleep." β
Xun Jiu didn't want to ask more, and Ji Liming didn't intend to answer, so the two rested for a while, then stood up and walked down the mountain.
The closer you get to the base of the mountain, the more pronounced the sound of running water becomes.
The cool breeze was blowing, with the coldness of mid-autumn, and the layers of muscles and bones were blowing.
Xun Jiu shook his body.
Seeing this, Ji Liming handed the Night Pearl to Xun Jiu to hold, and he quickly took off the cloak on his body and draped it over her shoulders.
Xun Jiu was stunned uncomfortably, "Wow...... If you treat me like this, I'll think crookedly. β
Ji Liming took back the Night Pearl from his hand again, and said indifferently: "If you are sick by the cold wind, I won't have to be burdened to carry you back at that time." β
Xun Jiu rolled his eyes, "Weren't you quite happy to carry me just now?" β
Ji Liming said very politely: "That's because I know you will definitely refuse." β
Xun Jiu: "......"
The two of them first reached the shallow beach at the foot of the mountain, and after going up the river for a while, they saw a bright light in the direction of the upstream direction.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a wind lantern hanging on a small boat.
However, there was no one on board.
Xun Jiu glanced left and right, and turned his eyes to Ji Liming, "People? β
Ji Liming hadn't spoken yet, and a shallow cough came from the back.
Xun Jiu turned around and saw a boulder on the shallows, on which Liu Quan was sitting cross-legged.
The light of the night pearl reflects the young man's half-hidden face under the hat, and the outline is smooth and delicate.
He wore a blue-gray plain robe, and the slightly wide robe accentuated his thin figure.
This young man always exudes an aura of perseverance that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
It makes people feel that although he is right in front of him, he is too far away to touch, but there is an inexplicable sense of security when standing beside him.
Xun Jiu glanced at him lightly and asked, "In the middle of the night, what are you calling me for?" β
Liu Quan jumped off the boulder, walked to the boat, took out a burden from it and handed it to her, and said lightly: "This is for you." β
"A gift for me?" Xun Jiu asked, while reaching out to pick up the burden.
Liu Quan didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Xun Jiu quickly opened it after taking it, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the contents of the baggage clearly.
It was a silver gilt chisel pattern for the cover, red sandalwood painted with gold and a tattoo for the body.
From the top lid to the body of the box, small grooves are made with a unique craftsmanship, and the grooves are inlaid with pearls the size of small fingernails.
Xun Jiu has some research on gemstones, and it can be seen that these pearls alone are worth a lot of silver.
But what she wondered was, why did Liu Quan give her makeup?
Facing Shang Xunjiu's puzzled gaze, Liu Quan lightly opened his eyes, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" β
As soon as he said this, Xun Jiu was not in a hurry, stretched out his arm and turned Ji Liming on the side, and asked with a smile: "Cousin, what is the meaning of makeup?" β
Ji Liming looked embarrassed, stared at Liu Quan with a strange expression, and after a while, he replied slowly: "A man gives a woman makeup, which means that it is a token of love." β
Liu Quan's body stiffened, and even his expression was a little stiff.
Xun Jiu chuckled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Quan, "Boy, if you want to confess, you should also find a romantic time and place, right?" β
Liu Quan didn't answer, and seemed very reluctant to deal with her.
Xun Jiu was bored, so he simply stopped talking and reached out to open the makeup.
The design inside is very elaborate and multi-grid.
Xun Jiu's gaze was fixed on the first grid.
Inside is a title deed.
Xun Jiu didn't have time to be at a loss, and Liu Quan had already said faintly: "This is the best shop in the golden rank of Yanjing Xicheng, I have already bought it, if you want to open a pharmacy or do something else in the future, you decide for yourself." β
Xun Jiu's eyes widened in astonishment, "Boy, do you know how expensive the shops in the golden rank of Xicheng are?" The shop on your title deed will cost 100,000 taels of silver. β
Liu Quan lowered his eyes silently.
Xun Jiu frowned and said: "I remember that you were so poor that you borrowed money from me when you were in our house, and you haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a nouveau riche who can afford to buy a shop?" β
Liu Quan raised his eyes to look at her with a serious expression, "This land deed was originally intended to thank my father-in-law for his adoption, but now that he is gone, I can only hand it over to you." As for the makeup ......"
He paused for a moment and continued: "You should remember that I once accidentally broke your favorite makeup dowry, this is for you, although the style is different from yours, but these pearls are my own ......"
"What?" Xun Jiu asked.
"Nothing." Liu Quan took a light breath, "In short, the makeup and the title deed are all given to you, and we can be regarded as two clear." β
"Oh." Xun Jiu didn't care about what he said at all, and continued to look at the contents of the makeup. In her opinion, no matter how capable Liu Quan is, he is only a ten-year-old child, and what he said today may be forgotten tomorrow.
She didn't have to worry about a child.
Underneath the title deed, there is a booklet with a gutter.
Xun Jiu felt curious, picked it up and looked at it.
The four words "Secret Record of Eternal Life" on the booklet almost blinded her.
Xun Qian vaguely mentioned it to the original body when he was alive, saying that the "Secret Record of Eternal Life" is the ancestral heirloom of the Xun family, and each generation is only passed on to the son-in-law, but in Xun Jiu's generation, there is only one daughter in the lineage, so this thing will be passed on to her in the future, so she must keep it well and ensure that it can be passed on to future generations.
Xun Jiu still remembers that at that time, Xun Qian also said that although the "Secret Record of Eternal Life" is the ancestral heirloom of the Xun family, for so many years, the successive sons-in-law did not know what it was about, let alone understand what it said.
There are rumors in the outside world that Xun's "Secret Record of Immortality Record" records the methods that can make people immortal.
It is also rumored that the "Secret Book of Eternal Life" records the method of using medical techniques to balance yin and yang and prolong life.
Compared to the latter, the former statement is more attractive and influential.
It is precisely for this reason that Xun Jiu's grandfather's generation was slaughtered because of the various forces on the rivers and lakes to snatch the "Secret Record of Eternal Life", and the family exchanged their lives for Xun Qian and escaped death with the "Secret Record of Eternal Life".
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu couldn't wait to open the booklet, and after a cursory glance, she was desperate.
She knew all the words in the booklet, but when they were put together, she didn't know what was in them, as if a good article had disrupted the order of all the words, but the words were not usually used, and some of them were even jerky and difficult to understand, she only knew what to read, but she didn't know what it meant.
In this way, it is much more difficult to put the words back together.
No wonder Xun Qian said that the previous sons-in-law couldn't understand it, those people should have tried to combine and failed before making a conclusion.
After reading it a few times and not being able to understand it, Xun Jiu simply lost his mind, put away the booklet, and turned his eyes to look at Liu Quan, "This thing was given to you by my father?" β
"Hmm." Liu Quan bowed his head slightly, as if he had guessed her next words, and said again: "He only told me that I must deliver this thing to you safely, and there is nothing else to say." β
"Impossible!" Xun Jiu interrupted him in a deep voice, "Bai Saburo's death is so crucial, my father can't leave me with a last word, you must have hidden the truth!" β
"Oh." Liu Quan replied lightly: "There are last words." β
Xun Jiu breathed tightly and listened quietly.
Liu Quan said: "He asked you to go to his grave more often when you have time." β
Xun Jiu: "......"
Ji Liming next to him really couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but say out: "Xiao Liu Quan, didn't you say goodbye tonight, you and your cousin may never see each other in the future, if you have anything to say, let's say it quickly, my cousin has been thinking about this matter for a day or two, and you can't bear to see her sleep and eat because of this?" β
Liu Quan's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Xun Jiu without a trace, and saw that she was gritting her teeth and glaring at herself, which was indeed extremely angry.
Lazy retracted his eyes, he said, "I don't have anything to say." β
"You!" Xun Jiu hated that he couldn't kill him with his gaze.
Before her angry voice fell, she heard a low roar of beasts in the mountains and forests not far away.
With such a powerful penetrating power, Xun Jiu had only heard this kind of voice when Bai Saburo was at the funeral.
With a move in his mind, Xun Jiu's eyes suddenly widened, and he murmured: "Demon spirit? β
After the roar of the snow mastiff, there was a faint fire in the mountain forest over there, and it seemed that many people lined up in a long line with torches.
"The Lord has commanded, whoever catches the beast first will be rewarded!"
"It's running to the left, chase me!"
Someone asked: "Boss, that thing is so powerful, let's chase it like this, what if it gets angry and bites all the brothers to death later?" β
"Rice bucket!" Someone angrily rebuked, "Are so many torches used to shine on your face?" If the beast dares to bite, set it on fire! β
The sounds of chasing, scolding, and the grinding of snow mastiffs running through the forest and rubbing against the branches echoed endlessly in the valley.
Xun Jiu's heart tightened, frowned at Ji Liming, and whispered: "Cousin, it's a demon spirit, those people are chasing it." β
Xun Jiu has not been with the demon spirit for a long time, but he knows this thing very well, it is definitely not the master who can retreat from the battle, but now in the face of the pursuit of so many people, it did not fight back, but desperately fled, then there is only one possibility - the demon spirit is injured, and the injury is not light.
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu was even more worried, and said loudly: "The demon spirit is injured...... No, I've got to save it, or if it keeps running like this, it's going to die. β
"Oops!" Liu Quan's face changed when he heard this, "These are people from the Chu State. β
After speaking, Liu Quan quickly walked to the side of the boat and extinguished the wind lantern, and said to Xun Jiu and Ji Liming in a deep voice: "Get on the boat quickly, we have to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big trouble for those people to find out later." β
Ji Liming also reacted, quickly put away the Night Pearl, and took Xun Jiu's arm to go to the boat.
Xun Jiu struggled to break free from him, frowned tightly and said: "I am a healer, I can't see death without saving it, if I miss the best time to treat the demon spirit because I left in a hurry and cause it to die, I will have a disturbed conscience." β
"There's no time." Liu Quan reminded repeatedly, "The gang of people in the Chu State are crazy and can do everything, if you want to save the snow mastiff, you have to save your life first." β
Ji Liming also took the opportunity to say: "Cousin, I think this kid is right, let's leave first, and then make plans when we avoid the sight of these people." β
Xun Jiu was a little unwilling.
It's not that she doesn't know the current situation, but the demon spirit has been missing for a day and a night, and she must have been exhausted for a long time, and now that she is being chased by so many people overnight, the chance of surviving is very small.
No matter how bad it is, it is also a dog's life, if it falls into the hands of the people of Chu like this, it is a pity.
Seeing Xun Jiu standing still, Ji Liming turned around and was relieved: "Look, it has been missing for so long, has Gong Yi ever said a word?" β
Xun Jiu thought about it carefully.
The disappearance of the snow mastiff does not seem to have any effect on Gong Yi, and he has not said a word about it so far.
Seeing that her expression was relaxed, Ji Liming continued: "Gong Yi is the master of the demon spirit, and even he is not nervous, which means that he is completely sure that nothing will happen to the snow mastiff, so what are you worried about?" β
Biting his lip, Xun Jiu moved his eyes back from the distant firelight, and without saying much, he followed Ji Liming and quickly got on Liu Quan's boat.
The wind was strong during the night, and the boat was heading downstream, so the group quickly left their current lot.
After making sure that it was completely out of the sight of the Chu people, Liu Quan took out the fire fold again and lit the wind lamp on the bow of the ship.
Xun Jiu sat on the boat, seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from Shangyong, she couldn't help frowning and asked Liu Quan: "Where are we going?" β
Liu Quan looked at the high mountains on both sides of the river that were shrouded in darkness, and replied: "At the end of the Amber River is the Red Lotus Port, which runs through the sea. β
Xun Jiu asked again: "Then don't we have to go to the Red Lotus Port on this trip?" β
Liu Quan looked at her lightly, "If you want to stay, I won't stop you." β
Xun Jiu hugged the makeup box in his arms tightly and pouted.
There are mountains on both sides of this place, and there are Chu people on the mountains, if she stays alone, she doesn't know how she will die at that time.
After thinking about it, she softened her tone, "Just go, forgive me and don't dare to harm my sister." β
Liu Quan didn't answer.
There was a moment of silence on the ship.
Ji Liming's eyes fluctuated a little, and he asked, "Is the Red Lotus Seaport the only way for Chu State's overseas trading merchant ships?" β
Liu Quan nodded, "Chu State is such a seaport, so it is naturally a must-pass place. β
Xun Jiu was shocked, "Ah! It turns out that the Red Lotus Seaport is actually on the border of Chu State? β
As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Quan was silent first, and only spoke up after a while, and his tone added a little helplessness, "Sometimes, I doubt whether you are from Dayan." β
Xun Jiu snorted lightly, don't you know that the Red Lotus Harbor is strange?
She has always been a person who refuses to suffer, and her eyes glared back, "Girl, I am naturally a Dayan person, how can I look like you, my identity is a mystery, maybe I jumped out of a crack in the stone!" β
Liu Quan was stunned, his dark eyes seemed to be shattered with countless memory fragments, and for only a moment, he looked at it and ignored Xun Jiu.
After walking all night on the mountain road, Xun Jiu was already tired, she didn't want to talk anymore, and leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Ji Liming reached out and pulled the cloak covering her for her.
Seeing that Xun Jiu was asleep, Liu Quan looked at Ji Liming and said quietly, "After you go back, please tell King Qin, I will be able to complete all the things he ordered in less than ten days, I hope he will not go back on his word and let go of Xiaoxue according to his words." β
"There is ......," he added, "during this period, I don't want Xiaoxue to be treated badly, otherwise it will ......"
"We are now on the waterway to the Red Lotus Seaport of Chu State." Ji Liming raised his eyebrows and interrupted him, "Do you think it's useful for you to tell me this?" β
Liu Quan sneered, "The grandson of the dignified Sima, the famous Ji Ershao in Yanjing, is it possible that he still plays word games with one of my children?" β
Ji Liming, "Second Shao, I have never treated you as a child. β
At the end, he said again: "I believe that Zichu has never treated you as a child." β
Liu Quan ignored him and said to himself: "Anyway, I have already said it, whether I can bring it to King Qin or not is your business, what I want is just Xiaoxue's safe and sound." β
"Huh......" Ji Liming looked at him funny, "I didn't expect you to learn the skills of a flower messenger at such a young age, you have a great future!" β
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Quan interrupted him with a cold face, "Xiaoxue is my relative, she is in trouble, I can't see death without help." β
Ji Liming continued to tease, "It's not blood relatives, relatives can also develop into lovers!" β
Liu Quan glanced at Ji Liming speechlessly, rowed quietly and stopped talking.
At present, the two banks are full of high mountains, it is late at night, and the mist on the Amber River greatly affects the sight, but Liu Quan is skilled in rowing, and there is no obstacle along the way.
As soon as the boat came out of the mountain stream, Xun Jiu, who was asleep, was awakened by a strange fragrance.
After many years of studying medicine, she has already developed a keen sense of smell, which is difficult for ordinary people to smell, but it is easy for her.
Huo Ran opened his eyes, Xun Jiu looked at Ji Liming, who was sitting beside her, always vigilant around, and then at Liu Quan, who was rowing outside, and immediately reacted that none of them could smell it.
Shocked in his heart, Xun Jiu said loudly: "Cover your mouth and nose quickly, this section has been sprinkled with medicinal powder!" β
Ji Liming and Liu Quan were shocked at the same time, but they thought that they had just inhaled too much strange fragrance, and when they heard Xun Jiu's reminder, their eyes were already dilated.
Xun Jiuteng stood up and went outside, stretched out his fingers and pinched Liu Quan's middle point, and said, "You can't have an accident, otherwise none of us will be able to get out." β
Before Xun Jiu's words fell, Liu Quan had already closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
"Liu Quan!" Xun Jiu was shocked and shook his arm desperately, but to no avail. In desperation, she turned around to see Ji Liming's situation, but unexpectedly, the back of her head was badly hit hard.
As soon as his eyes were closed, Xun Jiu also fell asleep.
==
Xun Jiu slept very deeply this night, and in his dream he returned to the scene where Fu Sheng forcibly kissed her in the mallow garden.
His slender eyebrows, delicate nose, and exquisite outline appeared in front of her at zero distance.
The thin lip flap covered her, not as cold as she imagined, but with indescribable warmth, such a bone-eroding lingering, as if to rub her into the bones and blood, so that her already eager heart was completely surging.
It turned out that Fusheng liked her.
Because I like it, I can't see her getting close to other men.
Because I like it, I will pretend to be calm in the face of her menarche, and silently ask others about the recipe of the warm palace soup afterwards.
His liking, arrogant and awkward, would rather sulk himself than confide in his heart.
Xun Jiu was entangled, she actually had feelings for him, but he was a prince, a man destined to have three wives and four concubines, how could there be only one woman living in such a big Qin Mansion in the future?
With such a entanglement, Xun Jiu woke up.
It was so dark that I couldn't see my surroundings clearly.
It's supposed to be an unfamiliar environment.
Xun Jiu didn't say anything, trying to move her body, only to find that her hands were tied to the pillar with reverse scissors, and she was sitting on the ground at this time.
I'll go! What a situation!
Xun Jiu was shocked and rewound his memories to before she fell unconscious.
She clearly remembered that after Liu Quan was stunned by the strange fragrance, she was hit in the back of the head, and then she also fainted.
Wait a minute......
At that time, there were only three people on the boat, and Liu Quan was already unconscious, so the person who hit her ......
Will it be Ji Liming?
Xun Jiu was very resistant to this inference in his heart.
But if it weren't for him, there would be no one else.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Xun Jiu blinked hard, trying to see his surroundings clearly.
But the light was so dim that she didn't know where she was, but she felt some swaying around her.
Rock......
Isn't your brain still dizzy?
The back of the head is indeed still aching.
Xun Jiu looked at it for a long time and didn't see where he was, so a bold idea came to his mind.
She shouldn't have been killed by Ji Liming and then crossed over to another place, right?
Thinking like this, Xun Jiu suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She had just stirred Fusheng's cold heart, should God be so cooperative and pour her a basin of dog blood in a timely manner?
Twisting his body uneasily, Xun Jiu wanted to slowly loosen the hemp rope that bound his hands with struggle.
At the very least, understanding the current situation is the most important thing.
With this movement, his fingers touched a slightly cool hand.
Xun Jiu was covered in white sweat in an instant, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but he was scared back when the words came to his mouth.
This time, Xun Jiu didn't dare to move anymore, but his back kept being cold sweating.
Damn, what's behind the pillar?
Obviously, the dark environment once again infinitely magnified her fears, and countless terrifying images poured out of her mind in an instant, just like the one in the funeral palace.
But Xun Jiu felt that he might not be as lucky as the time in the funeral palace this time, that time it was Fusheng who extinguished the candle flame in order to scare her, pretending to be a ghost.
And this time......
Fu Sheng was still in Shangyong, and she had already arrived in the territory of Chu when she passed out, how could he arrive in such a timely manner.
Besides, even if Fu Sheng felt it in time, then she shouldn't wake up with such a terrifying picture.
Obviously, this is a kidnapping!
Realizing this, Xun Jiu's anxious heart calmed down slightly.
She is an atheist, naturally she does not believe in ghosts and gods, if she is kidnapped now, then she still has the value of living, and the person who kidnapped her will not put her to death right now.
After comforting himself, Xun Jiu finally calmed down.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the back, "Can you be quiet, keep moving, it's noisy until I sleep!" β
Xun Jiu was completely stunned.
The voice......
Liu Quan?!
"Why are you here?" Xun Jiu ignored his cold tone, not hiding his surprise at all.
"I don't know." Liu Quan slowly spit out two words.
Xun Jiu frowned.
In this way, she is not the only one who has been kidnapped, and even Liu Quan has been kidnapped?
Look at the situation, the two of them are tied to the same pillar, but with their backs to each other, and the pillars are separated by them.
No wonder she hadn't noticed someone behind her.
"Do you know where we are now?" Xun Jiu glanced around again, and he couldn't see anything except darkness or darkness.
"Hey, I'm not dizzy, why do I always feel like I'm shaking around?" She shook her head irritably.
Liu Quan said: "You can feel the shaking around you, and your reaction ability is not bad." β
Hearing this, Xun Jiu fell into deep thought, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him, "You mean, we are on the ship now?" β
"Hmm." Liu Quan replied lightly.
"Who was the drug at that time?" Xun Jiu gritted his teeth with hatred, "Don't you think it's too much?" β
Liu Quan chuckled, his voice was a little sarcastic, "Among the three people, just the two of us are tied up in this place, who do you think will do it?" β
"Impossible!" Xun Jiu immediately objected, "Cousin Xiao Ming has no reason to do this. β
"So, you're trying to say that I'm the most suspicious of the three?" Liu Quan asked rhetorically.
Xun Jiu choked.
How can there be a "murderer" who stuns himself and then binds himself up?
But she was on the boat, and the moment she was awakened by the strange fragrance, she could see very clearly, there were only three of them in the boat.
It's not her, it's not Liu Quan.
It can only be Ji Liming.
**The naked reality defeated the little trust left in Xun Jiu's heart, she was a little sad, she originally thought that after a crossing, she was lucky to meet a brother who loved her, but she didn't expect it to be a mirror in the end.
She's really thinking too much!
Pursing his lips, Xun Jiu asked weakly: "What good is it for him to tie us up?" β
Liu Quan was speechless and said, "If I know the benefits, the person who kidnapped you should be me." β
Xun Jiu struggled for a moment again, and after making sure that the rope was tied strongly, he was deflated, "Then you say, what should we do now?" β
Liu Quan sighed, "This rope has been specially treated, you just struggle until it is useless to lose your breath, you can't untie it, we can only wait now." β
Xun Jiu nodded in agreement.
Since the other party is kidnapping, then someone will always come to take the two of them, and then find a way, it is important to save physical strength at the moment.
Xun Jiu sniffed, and this time, she smelled the air outside.
With her eyes lit up, she said, "We are not only on the ship now, but also at sea!" β
Liu Quan's eyes moved slightly.
After confirming that it was at sea, Xun Jiu frowned, "Where is this ship going?" β
Liu Quan didn't answer, his eyes closed slightly.
Shaking his head, Xun Jiu abandoned the messy thoughts in his heart, looked up at the top of his dark head, and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity, the makeup you just gave me is gone, and there is still the title deed of the prime location of Yanjing Xicheng in it!" β
didn't hear Liu Quan's voice, Xun Jiu's mind moved, and after coughing lightly, he said lamentingly: "Boy, we have been sisters and brothers, we have witnessed Xun's house being raided together, and now we have been kidnapped together, you and I are familiar to this point, so you don't need to hide your identity from me, right?" Who knows if I'll ever get off the ship alive, you'll at least have to make me a ghost! Maybe after being reincarnated, the two of us will be real sisters and brothers in the next life? β
originally thought that Liu Quan would remain silent and ignore her, but he didn't want Xun Jiu's words to fall, so he replied in a low voice: "I'm not from your Dayan." β
Xun Jiu was surprised: "No wonder Fusheng said that you were a homeless person who ran around without identity, and he wanted to arrest you." β
Hearing this, Liu Quan chuckled lowly.
In Xun Jiu's memory, Liu Quan has been silent since he came to their house, and there is basically no expression on his face.
So, it was the first time she had heard him laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Xun Jiu was puzzled, what she just said was the truth, is it so funny?
"King Qin's mouth is very powerful." Liu Quan said something that made Xun Jiu puzzled.
However, she does not deny that Fu Sheng has a powerful mouth.
The man, not only spoke with a poisonous tongue, but even when he kissed her, his lips were like an addictive poison, so that she would dream of that scene over and over again in her sleep.
As soon as the roots of his ears burned, Xun Jiu was silent.
"Why don't you continue to ask me where I'm from?" Liu Quan was surprised by Xun Jiu's abnormality, if it was before, this woman would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, but Fang Cai stopped after only asking one sentence?
Xun Jiu retracted his thoughts, "If I ask, will you tell me?" β
Liu Quan replied: "It depends on the mood." β
Xun Jiu sneered: "Then I might as well greet your uncle." β
In the silence, Liu Quanyao's dark eyes were fixed in one place at random, and his voice was a little sad, "The year I left home, I was only six years old. β
Xun Jiu was stunned.
Leaving home at the age of six, what misfortune happened to the child's parents?
"Not banished, not driven out, but taken away." Liu Quan continued.
Xun Jiu's expression moved, "Human traffickers? β
Liu Quan smiled bitterly, "You can also say that." β
When it came to other people's sadness, Xun Jiu didn't want to poke the wound again, so he changed the topic and asked, "How does your hometown compare with Dayan?" β
Xun Jiu had read a lot of books in the past, and knew that on the other side of Panhai, there were still four big countries standing side by side with Dayan.
They are: Daliang, Nanyu, Xiling, Dongchuan.
Liu Quan said just now that he was not from Dayan, so he must be one of the four big countries, but she wasn't sure which one it was.
"Let's have their own strengths!" Liu Quan said: "But in comparison, it's still better than my hometown." β
"That's right." Xun Jiu nodded, forgetting nothing and not forgetting his homeland.
"That'...... After all these years, haven't you ever thought about going back? Xun Jiu asked again, "You were taken away at such a young age, your father and mother must be in a hurry." β
Liu Quan was silent for a long time before slowly spit out three words: "Get used to it." β
Xun Jiu smiled, sometimes, she felt that this child was more old and serious than her, the person who had crossed over, at least his current calmness made her heart completely calm down because of being kidnapped.
Before Xun Jiu could say something, he heard an unusually cold voice coming from next door across the wall, "Have you two said enough?" β
------Off topic------
It's finally on the shelves, and the little angels have been waiting for a long time (* Μ3) (e Μ*)
The prize answer question is coming.
1, Liu Quan's identity (not his identity in Daliang)
2. Who said the last sentence?
If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with 88 coins, and if you answer both correctly, the reward will be doubled.
Let's ripple together~
...
