Chapter 197: Repaying with Life
In the dimly lit dungeon of the Tongque Palace, every corner exudes an unpleasant smell of dampness and fish, and in the corner of the cell, there is a woman huddled, with ragged clothes, fluffy sideburns, a somewhat dull gaze, and a trance-like expression, Empress Dowager Chu stood by the cell door, her face full of distress, "Huang'er, is she your own sister", after looking at it for a while, Empress Dowager Chu couldn't bear it, turned around and walked to Nangong Ling's side, and said reproachfully.
Nangong Ling glanced at Nangong Ning with disdain, and the corners of her mouth showed a touch of oozing coldness and said, "Queen Mother, when did you become so kind-hearted?" I remember that in my memory, the queen mother has never been merciful, and now, not only did she let go of your enemy, but even Concubine Yun was rescued, this qiē was caused by her, and you even interceded for her"?
Nangong Ling's words got to the point, Empress Dowager Chu wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything, turned around and looked at Nangong Ning who was curled up in a ball, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, she sighed lightly, and left the dungeon with the support of the palace maid.
Nangong Ling looked at the back of the Empress Dowager Chu leaving, sneered, and then glared at Nangong Ning in the dungeon with ferocious and resentment, and shouted in a cold voice: "Now, it doesn't matter if you confess or not, whether you pretend to be crazy or stupid, it's true, I won't let you die so lightly, I will slowly torture you, so that you will remember it for the rest of your life, and the consequences of angering me."
Nangong Ning was still glazed and in a trance, but if she looked closely, she could find that her body was constantly trembling.
The carriage drove slowly on the street, the coachman found an ordinary inn according to the instructions of Shui Lianyue, the carriage just stopped, only to see the cotton door curtain of the inn opened, and a weak figure and the shopkeeper pushed and shoved out, unexpectedly, the weak figure slipped under his feet, and accidentally fell into the snow, followed by the cursing of the shopkeeper.
"Don't have money and want to stay in a hotel? If you don't have money, you dare to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, saying that Lao Tzu is vicious and ruthless? I'm bah, what kind of bullshit is this, I don't know how to use words, just go home quickly, and let your mother hire a teacher for you to study and study hard", after scolding, the shopkeeper didn't seem to want to stop, rolled up his sleeves, and continued to scold, attracting many onlookers, and the weak figure was lying in the snow without moving, his head hanging very low, and letting the shopkeeper keep cursing.
"You don't inquire about Lao Tzu's name, you dare to provoke Lao Tzu, it's really tired of crooked you, why, you don't leave, is it possible that you still want to wait for Lao Tzu to help you up in person"? As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper raised his foot and kicked it in the man's chest, probably with all his strength, he actually kicked the man over, he immediately covered his chest, and struggled to get up, but he couldn't get up.
Shui Lianyue was in the carriage, seeing this scene in her eyes from the window, raising her eyebrows lightly, and a touch of disdain flashed in her phoenix eyes, I didn't expect that the shopkeeper of an inn still had a name? Oh, this is obviously a black shop, so she doesn't have to live, but then, her eyes fell on the person lying in the snow, and careful observation aroused her curiosity.
The man was slender and slender, in such a cold and snowy place, but he was so thinly dressed, his white shirt was covered with snow, a pair of hands as clear and white as jade supported his body and wanted to stand up, his head was covered with a sack found out of nowhere, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he couldn't see his face.
It was a pair of clear eyes that could not be clearer, even if they were treated so inhumanely, there was no emotion in those eyes, they were as light as water, as quiet as waves, and the edges of the black pupils faintly revealed a faint cyan, wrapped in white eyeballs, like elf-like eyes.
Just when the shopkeeper wanted to kick him, a coachman walked over to stop him and took out a piece of silver, "My master's will, let him go."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, looking at the ingots of white flowers, and instantly burst into joy, his smiling face bloomed, he stretched out his hand to take the silver, and just about to speak, the coachman had already helped the people on the ground into the carriage, and under the gaze of the onlookers, the wheels turned and slowly left.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just seeing a rough road, come, drink some water", it's rare that Shui Lianyue also has a soft voice, and he personally poured water for him and took snacks, on the side, Nangong Yu looked at Shui Lianyue with a gloomy face, and couldn't stop muttering in his heart, this damn woman, do you really think she is a savior? They even took all the money to save this person, so what should they do at night? Did she get water in her brain? Or was it squeezed by a car window?
In the blink of an eye, he stared at the rescued person again, and under his keen observation, he didn't find any abnormalities in him, and there was no fluctuation around him, except for the sound of slight gasps, nothing else.
"Thank you to the woman for coming to the rescue", the man spoke very carefully, his voice was soft, but with a clean and refreshing feeling, not as enchanting and charming as Leng Liuyun, not as sexy as Nangong Yu, but there is a unique sense of affinity.
Shui Lianyue smiled faintly, handed over the teacup and said, "You're welcome, by the way, where are you going?" I'll give you a ride"?
The man took the teacup, and when he heard Shui Lianyue's words, he just shook his head and whispered, "No need, just put me down in front."
"Good".
Sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of another inn, the man said thank you, and got out of the carriage and left, Shui Lianyue looked at his back at the window of the car as if he was fleeing, and almost fell to the ground several times, but he still trotted hard, and his intuition was a little funny, she saved him, why did it feel like she was trying to hurt him?
"Hmph, the person is saved, in my opinion, this inn doesn't have to live", Nangong Yu lifted the window, threw out a sentence coldly, and closed the window again.
Shui Lianyue hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, took out a crystal clear jade pendant from her words and threw it to the coachman, raised her eyebrows lightly, and commanded in a low voice: "Take it as a pawn, exchange it for silver and find an inn."
The coachman took the jade pendant, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran away to find the pawnshop.
changed an inn, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were many times more kind than they had seen before.
"Where did you get the money to stay at the guest house"? As soon as he entered the guest room, Nangong Yu had a gloomy face and kept asking, Shui Lianyue casually said a few perfunctory words, but it could not dispel his doubts.
Until after dinner, Shui Lianyue couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly shouted coldly: "I said are you annoying?" You can live if you want to, and if you don't want to live, you can go and sleep on the street."
Nangong Yu smiled disdainfully, and said disdainfully: "I really didn't expect that you are still a woman who loves to steal chickens and dogs, and your behavior is so disorderly, Aunt Yun was really blind at the beginning, and she actually chose such a woman as the princess for this king, which is really embarrassing."
"When did I steal money? What nonsense are you talking about, Nangong Yu I sue you, I am blind when I marry you, I was dragged down by you like this, don't think that if I don't say anything along the way, it will be equivalent to letting you go, and when your poison is resolved, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and when I say goodbye, I will never be a gentleman like you is now", Shui Lianyue slapped the table suddenly, glared at Nangong Yu angrily and roared.
Nangong Yu wanted to say something, his hand suddenly touched his waist, and found that it was empty, he was stunned, looked down, and sure enough, the jade pendant was gone, he looked at Shui Lianyue and asked, "Where is the jade pendant of this king?"
Where did Shui Lianyue think that he would be discovered so soon, and he was a little open at the moment and said: "How do I know about your jade pendant."
Seeing this, Nangong Yu was even more convinced that the jade pendant was not related to Shui Lianyue, and pointed at Shui Lianyue and twisted his eyebrows: "Say, did you take this king's jade pendant?" Say, isn't it you"?
"You don't take care of your jade pendant yourself, why did you ask me if you lost it, how would I know", Shui Lianyue's words flickered when she spoke, Nangong Yu heard it as soon as she heard it, her eyes were red in an instant, her ink-colored eyes were about to pop out, and her forehead was bruised, if her eyes could kill, then, Shui Lianyue had already died 108,000 times at this time, he clenched his fists, and a bloodthirsty killing intent appeared on his face, gritting his teeth and saying: "If you really take it, then quickly take it out for this king, and this king will spare you once, If you can't get it, the king will kill you and pay your respect."
Along the way, the two always quarreled, but Shui Lianyue had never seen Nangong Yu show such a murderous and bloodthirsty expression, this time, it seemed that she really provoked him, although she was not afraid of Nangong Yu, but after all, she ignored it first, and it was not her style to play Laipi, she was soft and very faceless, so she had to reply stubbornly: "I have already said, your jade pendant is lost, what does it have to do with me."
"That's the only thing that the mother left to this king, more precious than this king's life, and you also know that the death of your mother is a heavy blow to you, so what about this king"? At this time, Nangong Yu almost roared out, and the entire inn could probably hear it, and the footsteps of the stairs gradually sounded, and he knew that he would definitely attract countless onlookers without thinking about it.
Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then understood why Nangong Yu suddenly became angry, and immediately twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "But if you don't drop the jade pendant, how can you stay in the guest house?"
"What"? Nangong Yu was suddenly shocked, "You actually took the only thing that this princess left to this king?" This king killed you", as he spoke, Nangong Yu pushed his wheelchair and slashed his palm towards Shui Lianyue.
"Hey, calm down, I, I'll get it back for you right away, crazy like a mad dog, do you want to make people suspicious"? Shui Lianyue tried to persuade Nangong Yu while hiding, but he was already carried away by anger, until Shui Lianyue said to bring it back to him, then he stopped, glared at Shui Lianyue angrily and gritted his teeth and said: "If the jade pendant is intact, it's fine, if there is a trace of damage, this king will definitely pay for it with your life."
