Chapter 313: Reasons for Betrayal
Liu Jing turned her head to look at Di Wu, and followed him into a secret prison behind Zhuangzi.
The group walked through a dark tunnel, and after a while, they came to several cells.
The cell was dark, except for a window every few hundred paces to let in a little light.
When Liu Jing entered, she happened to see Xing Xiu sitting cross-legged on the hay, he was neatly dressed and clean, and obviously had not been punished.
Hearing footsteps, Xingxiu slowly opened his eyes.
At this glance, he saw Liu Jing.
As early as after knowing that Xingxiu and the others were locked in the dungeon, Liu Jing put the child outside and came in alone.
She took a step forward to Shangxingxiu, and after staring at him fixedly with a pair of dark eyes, Liu Jing asked softly, "Why?" ”
Xingxiu looked up.
As he looked up, a strand of hair fell in front of him. Seeing Liu Jing looking at herself steadily, her eyes couldn't hide her anger and pain, Xing Xiu lowered her eyes and said: "When we swore to follow the princess, my parents you detained were actually not my parents......
Liu Jing sneered: "Just for this? ”
Xingxiu opened his eyes and looked at her.
After looking at her for a while, Xing Xiu laughed, he showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and laughed almost mockingly: "Of course, it's for this, my weakness that you hold doesn't exist at all." And the glory that the Queen Mother promised me is real! After a pause, he slowly approached Liu Jing, in the gloomy dungeon, his eyes were shining, staring straight at Liu Jing, Xing Xiu said softly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess." I said, I'm going to kill you, and then get a random child to act as a puppet, will the future Nanyue Kingdom be my world? ”
He sat down for a long time, and said to her in a slow and methodical manner, "The winner is king...... Princess, I have arranged everything, and I have also made you and Deng Jiulang successfully turn against each other...... Originally, when you were angry with Deng Jiulang and said that you were going to abandon the fiefdom and go overseas, you would have been killed twice. I didn't expect it. He actually took you captive halfway. Later, when you have a big belly and are about to give birth, I can only calculate it, thinking that you are dead. It's not a problem to have children or anything......"
He smiled. Fall towards the haystack. sighed: "It's really better than people...... With Deng Jiulang here, it is the Queen Mother's hands and eyes, and we are wise. It boils down to a rat bogey. It's not easy to calculate you! He looked at Liu Jing and asked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why is it so difficult for you to make Deng Jiulang die for you and ignore you?" ”
Liu Jing pursed her lips, she just asked, "You want them all?" She sneered: "Do you think that if you kill me and kill Zhang Jing, this South Vietnam is your world?" All we have, you own? Do you think the Queen Mother will let you enjoy a lifetime as a matter of course? Although she knew that Xingxiu betrayed her because of interests. But for a while, it was still a little unacceptable, so there was this question.
Xingxiu opened his eyes.
He looked at Liu Jing quietly.
After looking at Liu Jing for a while, he suddenly sighed and muttered, "When you were still in the White Clothes Building, we were targeted by the Queen Mother...... She wants to calculate you, I know the current affairs best, and I feel that you are not her opponent, so I am loyal. To be honest, if I knew that you were a princess and could have a fief in the future, I would not betray you. He closed his eyes and said softly: "I said before, you are not ambitious, you are also generous, with these two points alone, you are far more credible than the Queen Mother." It's a pity that your identity as a princess was revealed too late, and I can't turn back then......"
Liu Jing actually wanted to ask that, am I not good to you? Why do you betray me and kill me? Now that she heard Xing Xiu say this, she understood everything.
Looking at Xingxiu, who had reached this point and was still dignified, looking at this familiar and strange person who had closed his ambition and despair under his eyelids, Liu Jing suddenly didn't want to say anything more. She looked up at the cell inside and muttered, "Huan Zhi's condition is inside?" ”
"Not bad."
Liu Jing pursed her lips and said, "Take me to see him." ”
"Yes!"
Huan Zhi's cell was only fifty steps away from here, and when Liu Jing came, he was motionless with his back to the cell door.
Liu Jing put her hand on the iron railing, and after staring at the back for a long time, she asked in a low voice: "You let people pretend to be Huo Yan, so that Deng Jiulang can hear your conversation, believe that there is no innocence between me and Huo Yan, in order to separate me and Deng Jiulang?" ”
In the dark corner, Huan Zhi's body moved, and with his movement, the chains made a crisp sound. Huan Zhi didn't look back, he just said in a low voice: "The princess knows everything, why bother asking again?" ”
Liu Jing was silent for a long time.
After a while, she said in a low voice: "In order to separate me from Deng Jiulang, what else did you and Xingxiu do?" ”
After the situation in the prison moved, he did not answer.
Liu Jing pursed her lips and stood for a while, muttering, "I'm really not thin on you!" ”
After a long time, Huan Zhi's situation moved, and he turned his back to her and said in a dumb voice: "Princess, things in the world have always been like this, you don't need to figure it out." ”
Liu Jing looked at his back, sighed for a long time, and said, "Go back." She suddenly didn't want to ask anything more. As Huan Zhi said, things in the world have always been like this, and in the face of sufficient interests, all relationships that seem unbreakable cannot be trusted.
Just as she turned around, Huan Zhijing suddenly called in a low voice, "Princess." ”
Liu Jing turned her head.
In the dark, Huan Zhi said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother will not stop there...... Remember to be careful later. ”
Liu Jing was stunned, she looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, then pursed her lips and walked away.
After walking out of the gloomy dungeon, Liu Jing turned her head and asked, "What about Xiao Wenxuan?" ”
It was Di Wu who answered her, "Xiao Wenxuan himself did not betray the princess, but he was not strict with his subordinates, allowing the people around him to take advantage of the loopholes...... He was not locked up in a dungeon, and if the princess wanted to see him, he could be called at any time. ”
Liu Jing thought about it, shook her head, and sighed, "Another day." "I don't know why, after meeting Xing Xiu and Huan like this, she felt physically and mentally exhausted!
So, she didn't go back to the room. But after giving the child to the maidservant, he went to the study.
Usually here, it is always occupied by Zhang Jing and them, and Liu Jing, who is used to handing over all the idle chores to them, has long been out of touch. Now looking at the rolls and silks full of cases, and looking at the domestic officials standing in a long line at the door outside the house, waiting for news, Liu Jing hurriedly retreated again.
This time, she turned around and came to the outside of Deng Jiulang's courtyard again.
When she entered. Deng Jiulang is on official business. Looking at the high piles of files on his table, Liu Jing slowly walked over.
After sitting down across from him, Liu Jing didn't say anything.
After a while, Deng Jiulang's deep voice came. "Have you seen the guards?"
"Yes." Liu Jing replied sullenly.
It's rare to hear that she is not arrogant and not cold-conditioned. On the contrary, it is a bit coquettish. Deng Jiulang raised his head.
Glancing at her, he said, "Not happy? ”
"Yes." Liu Jing answered again, and after a while. She said, "Deng Jiu, when are you leaving my feudal country?" After a pause, although she knew that it was useless, she still accused: "This is my fiefdom!" I am the princess of a country! Deng Jiu, your behavior of doing whatever you want and ignoring the law is very disgusting! ”
She's really nonsense, the last time he assassinated Shi Fu, he was an official of Manjiaozhou, and casually charged her with a crime, who dared to say it? Although he still asked Zhang Jing to clear her name on the surface, secretly, didn't he imprison her for more than 40 days?
Sure enough, after Liu Jing's words came out, Deng Jiulang sneered. He looked up at her blankly for a moment, then lowered his head again and went about his work.
Liu Jing was sullen.
She stood up.
Staring at him, Liu Jing shouted, "Deng Jiulang, you bastard!" This is my territory, those are my people, you quickly release them all! After calling here, Liu Jing sneered: "You are really useless, I killed your concubine, killed your children, you didn't say a word, and you still stayed here with me and didn't leave......
What she said was so unreasonable!
Not only unreasonable, but also quite mean!
Deng Jiu raised his head in a hurry.
He stared at her with cold eyes, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered what a doctor had told him not long ago: women are easily angry before and after giving birth, and then become emotional and out of control.
So, he swallowed that breath, and after just throwing the brush, Deng Jiulang shouted coldly: "Get out!" ”
His voice lifted and he said sharply, "Get me out—"
His drink was particularly terrifying, Liu Jing was startled and involuntarily retreated.
She went back to her courtyard and didn't say a word.
Back in the room, after waving off all the servants, Liu Jing sulked.
At this moment, a soft voice came from the corner, "Your Highness? ”
Liu Jing quickly turned around, she sat up straight, and said in a low voice, "Is it Lang Yao?" You're back? ”
"Yes!"
Lang Yao seeped out of the darkness, he strode up to Liu Jing, knelt down on one knee, and whispered: "Lang Yao lived up to His Highness's instructions and came back to restore his life!" ”
Liu Jing raised her head.
She looked at the roof beam for a long time and said softly, "...... I'm going to observe, it's not busy. After a pause, she added, "You continue to hide." ”
"Yes." As soon as the voice fell, Lang Yao disappeared into the corner again.
Lang Yao's return has added a lot of confidence to Liu Jing. So, she simply didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, just closed her eyes and lived her life in captivity, and after eating and sleeping well, she sat straight for forty days and came out, and the whole person was already radiant, white and fresh, and her beauty was not diminished at all compared to before she gave birth.
And on this day, after Liu Jing was bathing and changing clothes, and after changing into her favorite gorgeous dress, she hugged her son and walked towards Deng Jiulang's courtyard.
Before she arrived, a faint fragrance came to her nose. This kind of incense from the depths of the mountains, the hands of the Yi people, especially remote and refreshing, legend has it that this kind of incense has been applied for a long time, it can become a body fragrance, and because the people who rub it are different, this fragrance is also different. And this kind of incense is used by the ancient Yue country.
Deng Jiulang was still busy in front of the case, and he didn't even raise his head.
He was not the only one who was busy, the fifth class of people was standing in the wing, listening to his orders. Smelling this burst of fragrance, these smart people didn't even dare to raise their heads.
