283: Confrontation
Nalan Jinxiu didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, every word she said now was related to human life. Moreover, they committed murder in the palace today, and there must be an ulterior secret behind it.
If she had told the truth, would she have caused the disaster of death? But if she hadn't said it, Zong Xuanyi would have been able to let her go? Impossible, with his suspicious character, as long as there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would have ruled it out.
But since the third brother is willing to let her down, he must have expected something, that is, she can tell the truth. After thinking about it again, she nodded again and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I'll give Madame a gift, and you'll have to take care of it. ”
Zong Xuanyi made a gesture to the people behind him as he spoke, and a few followers came over, holding bright knives in their hands. Then, with the knife in hand, the heads of the little eunuchs rolled to the ground. There was not much blood, but it gushed out in a gushing form, staining the soil red all over the ground.
All this happened too fast, Nalan Jinxiu only felt that there was a bright knife in front of him, and bright red blood, and then a hideous human head, and the eyes on it were still staring, which was very terrifying. She subconsciously closed her eyes, covered her ears tightly with her hands, and screamed, her voice was thin and high, startling the birds in the forest.
Ji Hongye probably didn't expect it to be so soon, he frowned, strode over, stretched out his hand to cover Nalan Jinxiu's eyes, hugged her from behind, and said softly: "Ah Jin, don't look." ”
Nalan Jinxiu had never seen this, and her whole body trembled with fear for a while, and her legs and feet were weak, and she could barely rely on Ji Hongye to stand. In his heart, he felt more and more unfamiliar with Zong Xuanyi, although he had long known that he was ruthless, but in front of her, he had never been like this after all.
In fact, he has known her for many years, and he has never used his true face to her, and now this cruel and cold-blooded person is the real him. She was extremely glad that she had already died once, and that she had finally gotten rid of this demon-like person.
She didn't want to see him now, or rather never. She leaned on Ji Hongye, gradually calmed down the fear in her heart, and whispered, "Third brother, I want to go home." ”
She misses their home very much now, and although the aunt from the house comes to cause trouble, at least it is safe, and no one will die in it.
Ji Hongye picked up Nalan Jinxiu and hugged it in his arms, turned around and walked to the carriage, walked a few steps and stopped, his voice was no longer as gentle as just now: "Neiko is young, and she has been pampered in the boudoir, this one of Xiangguo, Ji has written it down." ”
Zong Xuanyi's eyes were deep, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Mrs. Ling is the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu, and her father and brother are both battle-hardened and well-known handsome talents, I thought she was not afraid of blood." ”
"She is a woman, so naturally she can't be compared with her father and brother!"
Zong Xuanyi wanted to give her a dismissal, but the sharp words that had reached his lips still didn't come out in the end. He stood there quietly, watching Ji Hongye carry Nalan Jinxiu into the carriage, his movements were gentle, and his eyes were focused. His eyes were sour, and he had such a cherished person a long time ago.
When he first saw Xu Jinsheng, he felt that this little girl was a bit like her, to be precise, she had a feeling that made him very familiar. And just now, the way she covered her ears and screamed reminded him of a scene many years ago.
At that time, she had just married him, and there was a rat plague in the house somehow, and she reacted like this when she was scared, covering her ears, closing her eyes, and shouting at Brother Jiu. He hugged her, and she let him hold her all the time, refusing to go down to the ground, saying that there were mice on the ground.
When he sent someone to kill all the rats, she asked, "Isn't it too cruel to kill them all?" If God saw such a relentless killing, would he blame you?"
He never believed in gods and Buddhas, and he didn't take her words seriously. But she accidentally found that she copied the Buddhist scriptures by hand, and when she worshiped the Bodhisattva, she said: "My husband is above the court, and he can't help himself, if the Bodhisattva feels that he is guilty, he will forgive him for the sake of the sincerity of the believer." I am one with him as husband and wife, and if there is any punishment from heaven, it will also come down to me, and I only hope that he will be healed as soon as possible, and that he will not be tormented by sickness again. ”
At that time, he had just washed Yu Kun into the party and personally beheaded more than 40 people. Because of all his hard work, he often had a headache, and no matter how she tried to help him unblock, it was ineffective. She said that Hui Ji would hurt and let him have leeway, but when he didn't listen, she was so angry that she burst into tears.
Now, he has the power of the world, but who will be sincere for him, willing to prevent disasters for him, and willing to share weal and woe with him?
No, never again, because she's dead, dead......
"Xiangguo. Chen Zhi saw that he was not moving, as if petrified, and called him out.
Zong Xuanyi came back to his senses and said to him, "What did you just see?"
"Ji Ge's weakness. ”
"Is it a weakness?"
Chen Zhi arched his hand and was very respectful: "Mrs. Ji Ge values his wife, and it is very dangerous to expose the things she cares about to others. ”
"Maybe he just wants to prove that if he wants to move his wife, he must be able to move him, otherwise he will be desperate. ”
"That's why the subordinates said that this is his weakness, and we can ......"
Zong Xuanyi raised his hand and motioned for him not to continue, and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you think that Ji Hongye's wife is very similar to a person?"
Chen Zhi thought for a long time and didn't remember who it was, so he had to say: "Mrs. Ji's appearance is peerless, and her subordinates really can't think of anyone who is similar to her." ”
"Peerless appearance?" Zong Xuanyi straightened his cuffs and said lightly: "She is the only one in the world who can afford the word peerless." ”
Chen Zhi naturally knew who the "she" in his mouth was, so he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he just lowered his head and said, "It's not too early, we should go home." ”
"Concubine Liu is making trouble again?"
"But no, if you have to argue for the guards, could it be that she really has feelings for him?"
"Heh......" Zong Xuanyi sneered: "Where does she have sincerity, she just wants to use this to stab and provoke me, but unfortunately, they are not qualified enough." I'm a careless person, but now, what else do I care about besides power?"
"So what's next?"
"It's up to her. Zong Xuanyi said coldly.
"The subordinates are only afraid that the matter will get big and reach the ears of the saint, and if her fetus is found to be not a dragon species, it will be a big crime for the nine clans. ”
"Those who know are dead, who else knows?"
"The two palace maids beside the concubine are her dowry girls, and she won't let them move. ”
Zong Xuanyi's eyes were even deeper: "The kindness of a woman." ”
"I see that they are loyal to the concubine, do you want to stay for the time being?"
"Bastard!" Zong Xuanyi shouted, and Chen Zhi hurriedly took two steps back and bowed.
"Did you follow me on the first day? You know that they are loyal, how can others not know? If you leave them behind, leak the rumors, and confuse the royal blood, how many lives do you have enough to pay?"
"The subordinates know their mistakes, so let people do it. ”
Zong Xuanyi turned around and got into the carriage, and his cold heart began to be impetuous again. Lately, he's been feeling more and more unable to control his emotions, especially when he thinks about her. He rubbed the corners of his forehead and said lightly: "Jin'er, if we are an ordinary couple, we should love each other like Ji Hongye and his wife, maybe the doll is not small......
He smiled bitterly, and suddenly remembered that year, on his mother's birthday, she was not good at embroidery, and she had to make a forehead wipe as a birthday gift. She sat on the big kang by the window to do needlework, he sat opposite her and read a book, and she took every few stitches to ask him if he was crooked.
He couldn't bear it, so he said: "There are embroidery girls in the house, just let them do it for you." ”
She didn't comply, pursed her lips and said, "No sincerity at all." ”
When he saw that she was sullen, he changed his way to tease her. Who knew that she didn't appreciate it, and drove him angrily, and said that if she couldn't finish it, she would have to rush to work at night.
He was afraid that her eyes would hurt, so he tricked her out and asked the embroiderer to embroider it for her. When she came back, she got angry and lost her temper. He wasn't angry at all, and he thought it was cute for her to be angry at that time.
There are gossips in the house, saying that she is pampered and arrogant, and she embarrasses him by virtue of the benefits of her background. In fact, where do those people know that she is arrogant, and he is not angry, because when he really likes someone, that person's shortcomings also become advantages.
Later, when she found out, she asked him why he didn't stop her when she was angry, why did he keep conniving, why did everyone think that he was afraid of her family's power?
He looked at her, a slender woman, dressed in a thin bedclothes, half kneeling on the couch, half looking up at him, her eyes clear and stubborn. He bowed his head and kissed her, and told her, "I like you in my heart, so naturally I will not be willing to let you be unhappy.
Her eyelashes became moist, and water flowed through her sockets, but she held back. She reached out and hugged him, and the most she said was, "I'm sorry, I'll never be petty again." ”
Later, she kept working hard and wanted to be the right woman for him.
What was he thinking at that time? How to let her father die and break up the Nalan clan, he wanted to use the blood of the Nalan clan to pay tribute to the clan.
Her tears, her pain, her despair, her pleading, could not turn him back. He thought that leaving her was already the most merciful thing he could do, but it turned out that that mercy was only for himself. It was he who didn't want her to die, he wanted her to stay by his side, it was he who wanted to continue to love her, and it was he who drove her to death!
Zong Xuanyi clutched his heart tightly, and the pain made him suspect that he had a heart disease. A sarcastic smile was on the corner of his lips, and he knew that he had now suffered retribution. But he still left no room for doing things, because he felt that the sky had no eyes at all, if he really had eyes, why did she die, not him?
She is dedicated to goodness and has saved countless people, but his hands are full of blood, and he doesn't know how many people he has killed......
