Chapter 34: The Prisoner
In the early morning of the winter solstice, the people of the Red Silk House were roughly pulled out of their cells one by one by the jailers, crying, shouting, and complaining that the sky had given them such a tragic fate. Obviously he didn't do anything wrong, or he didn't do anything, so he was implicated in vain and lost his life.
And Li Sheng walked out of the cell indifferently and quietly, without a trace of fear and uneasiness on his face. His heart is very peaceful and peaceful, it may not be a good thing to die like this, at least he can reunite with his deceased relatives, the only thing he is unwilling to do is that he can't take revenge.
Stepping barefoot on the thick snow, his feet were frozen red, and the thick shackles rubbed his feet into blood, painting a beautiful and bewitching mark on the snow. He followed the guards in a drowsy state, and when he looked up, he found that the place where he was walking was the palace of Zhao State.
He was a little excited and a little apprehensive in his heart, he thought that his true identity should be found out, otherwise why would he be brought to the palace. He didn't know what was waiting for him, and he just wanted to die without any humiliation.
He lowered his head, listened to the sound of the chains rubbing, listened to the wind chimes tinkling in the wind under the eaves of the palace, and his heart was confused. He suddenly wanted to see Jun Yuan, drink a pot of wine with him, and play a piano.
The palace of Zhao is different from that of Chen, and the whole body is made of white bricks and white jade, and the cold color makes people feel a stronger chill in the snow. He was suddenly a little curious about what kind of person the king of Zhao was like.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have brought Li Sheng here."
"Thank you for your hard work." A lazy voice came from above, a voice that felt familiar and strange to him.
"Summons the order to go down and cut down the jailer in charge of guarding him in the prison......"
"Majesty?"
"What are you doing there, is it difficult to let Lone go by himself?!"
"Subordinates obey."
The guards trotted away in fear, and Li Sheng kept his head down, staring at the ground of the hall with empty eyes.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands reached out to him, and his head was raised stiffly. When he saw the man's appearance, he looked at him fixedly, and was speechless in astonishment.
Jun Yuan was wearing a golden dragon robe, his body did not have the warm breath of the former body, under the dragon robe, his handsome appearance was more majestic and domineering, he held a dark iron long sword in his hand, looked at him and smiled lightly, "Li Sheng, let you be wronged." ”
Xuanyuan Che helped Li Sheng up, raised the long sword in his hand, and used his internal force to cut off the shackles on Li Sheng's feet, looking at his red, bleeding feet, there was a faint distress in his eyes.
"It's all those minions who are not good enough to torture you like this. I've asked the guards to teach him a lesson. He looked him in the eye and smiled softly, a human life seemed to him to be nothing more than a trivial matter. In front of everyone's eyes, Xuanyuan Che picked him up, gently put him on the dragon chair, took his big coat to wrap Li Sheng carefully, caressed his feet lovingly, and turned to the palace people around him and said sharply: "Go and pass the imperial doctor!" ”
Xuanyuan Che's actions caused a burst of disgust and fear in Li Sheng's heart, he coldly avoided Xuanyuan Che, and said coldly: "Jun Yuan, no...... It's Majesty, this is not the place where the grass people should sit, and there are ......"
He was about to continue, but saw Xuanyuan Che's gaze that was colder than the wind and snow outside, "Grass people? 陛xià? You and I weren't called that before......" Xuanyuan Che calmed down his mood, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he clapped his hands gently, "See what gift I gave you?" ”
The two chamberlains carefully presented Li Sheng's Tong Shuqin, for fear of breaking a penny.
Li Sheng looked at Tong Shuqin in front of him, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "What do you want me to do here?" ”
"Of course I want to keep you by Lone's side."
"You ......" Li looked at him angrily and shockedly, his brows furrowed a little deeper, "Impossible." ”
"The Red Silk Shop is gone, where else can you go? Stay by Lone's side, the person you want to find, Lone is to rummage through every corner of the Kyushu Continent, and I will help you find it. ”
Li Sheng's heart tightened, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. Unexpectedly, his former friend was actually his enemy, and he still let himself stay by his side, which was impossible.
"Your Majesty's kindness, Li Sheng understands it, but I don't want to stay."
Xuanyuan Che's gentle expression flickered, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of danger. "What did you say?"
"I don't want to stay in the palace."
To Li Sheng's surprise, Xuanyuan Che actually smiled, but the words that followed made Li Sheng feel a deep fear, "Come on, go to the Dharma field immediately to spread the decree, those people in the Red Silk Workshop don't have to be beheaded......"
"Really...... You ......"
"All of them will be executed!"
"What!" Li Sheng stood up in shock, staggered at Xuanyuan Che, his whole body was trembling, "No, you can't do this!" They didn't do anything wrong! ”
"You can only be blamed for this, because you disobeyed Lone's words. I can't hurt you, but someone has to pay for what you just said. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and slowly tasted the wine in the glass, the corners of his mouth were cruel smiles, "If you want them to die a little worse, just talk back to Lone, and make Lone more angry." ”
“……”
He sat down angrily and dejectedly, his head bowed, his hands whiter and colder than usual. "From today on, you will live in the palace, follow Lone's side, and you are not allowed to leave Lone's sight without Lone's orders."
Li Sheng lowered his head, frowned in disgust, and thought about it, he felt a little more relieved in his heart, so it was okay, at least he gave himself more opportunities to assassinate him. He raised his head, his fingers lightly brushed over the strings of Tong Shuqin, thinking of Chen Yue, his heart was a little more sad. Maybe I will never see her again in this life.
Zhiyan held his forehead a little depressed, and Le'er pointed to the piano and shouted as if he had discovered a new world, "Look, look, sister!" This piano is different from the one we saw in Tongshuqin! ”
Zhiyan blinked, recalled carefully, and found that the two pianos were indeed very different, the piano in Shangyi's memory, the pattern on it was magnolia, and the pattern on it they saw was a sacred bird phoenix. What happened after Li Sheng entered the palace......
The two continued to watch, watching Xuanyuan Che carefully carry Li Sheng back to his dormitory, and when she saw the three big characters of Zishuang Palace on the plaque, Zhiyan was stunned, and suddenly had a strange idea in her heart, and she was even more surprised when she saw the furnishings in the Zishuang Palace, which was exactly the same as the palace on Zishuang Peak.
On the bed, Li Sheng fell asleep groggily from the cold, and his forehead and cheeks became red because of the fever. Xuanyuan Che withdrew all the palace people, carefully wiped Li Sheng's forehead with a towel, and after a while, he personally fed medicine to Li Sheng, put it to his mouth and blew it again for fear of burning him. In this way, Xuanyuan Che tossed back and forth all night.
At dawn on the second day, Li Sheng's high fever finally subsided, and Xuanyuan Che, who had not closed his eyes all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully finished medicine Li Sheng's feet, and gently covered the quilt before stretching his waist and preparing to go to the court.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Sheng turned over restlessly, and muttered a person's name, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue...... Don't go ......."
The gentleness on Xuanyuan Che's face immediately disappeared, and his eyes were even more cold and terrifying.
He walked out of the room, looked at the snowflakes that were still flying, and smiled lightly, "Shadow, go check Li Sheng's past and see if there is a person with the word 'moon' in his name." ”
A dark shadow answered in the shadows and quickly disappeared into the snow.
Li Sheng, Li Sheng, in addition to loneliness in your heart, how can there be anyone else!
