Chapter 296: Canonization of the Empress (Second Watch)
Tolegate?"
I staggered to the edge of the corpse as I stepped on the sticky bloodstains, my heart aching and I couldn't breathe.
"Tolerate!"
I wiped the blood from his face with my bare hands, and my fingers ran over his cold cheeks, tears welling up in my eyes.
"How can you be so cruel?" I tugged at Qi Yan's placket, and the hatred in my eyes came flooding back.
If I had a knife in my hand, I would not hesitate to stab him in the heart!
Qi Yan glanced at Rong Ji, who was lying in a pool of blood, and then clenched my hands that were constantly beating his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Prince Rong was not killed by me. People cannot be resurrected after death, and mourning is changing. ”
"Isn't it you who imprisoned him?" I punched Qi Yan in the heart again, causing him to cough again.
"Prince Rong is the minister of the humerus, and his death in the prison is not good for me! If I really want to take his life, I can do nothing and expose him to the wilderness so that people can't find anything wrong. Qi Yan said with a frank face.
He wrapped one hand around my waist and swore solemnly, "I promise you that within three days, I will find out the real culprit who tortured and killed Prince Rong, and I will break his body into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be scattered. ”
I looked back at Rong Ji, who had fallen in a pool of blood and looked down on his face, and I couldn't believe that he had left me in such a hurry.
Early this morning, he clearly said that he would go back to the house to have dinner with me, and he also said that he wanted to taste my taste, so I soaked in pepper water all day with joy, and looked forward to his return from the time he was not out of the house.
But I haven't seen him for a long time, why did he suddenly die?
I broke free of Qi Yan's confinement and lay quietly in Rong Ji's heart, but I could no longer hear his strong and powerful heartbeat.
Qi Yan squatted down, pulled me away from Rong Ji's cold body, and gently hugged me into his arms, "Don't cry, okay? If Prince Rong sees you so sad, he will definitely have heartache beyond measure." ”
"If I die, bury me with Yongji. "I nestled motionless in Qi Yan's arms, my heart was like death, the pain was extreme, and I was unconscious.
"What nonsense! You won't die, you will die, and I will die first. ”
I ignored it, and used my fingernails to cut a deep bloody mark on my wrist, "It's not interesting to live alone." It's better to go with him, and it's a hundred. ”
"That's enough! He's not dead!" Qi Yan said in frustration, his voice revealing a little unwillingness.
"What did you say?" my unfocused eyes focused on Qi Yan's cheeks again, and I asked him urgently.
Qi Yan hung his head, wrapped a brocade handkerchief around the wound on my wrist, and then explained helplessly, "He's not dead. All this is just an illusion created by Tianyi. Tianyi is a disciple of Buddhism, bound by Buddhism, if he kills people, his karma will be difficult to resolve, and he will be punished. Therefore, he only took Prince Rong out of the prison and did not hurt his life. ”
"Is it really just an illusion?" I looked delighted, staring nervously at Qi Yan's bloodless cheeks, fearing that he had only made up the lie that Rong Ji was still alive just to comfort me.
Qi Yan's wide sleeves were lightly raised, and he easily broke the illusion set up by Tianyi's painstaking solitude.
In an instant, in the gray cell, there was nothing but the shadow of me and Qi Yan who had been stretched out.
I swept away the straw that lay across the ground with my bare hands, and I was relieved to make sure that there was no shocking blood on the ground.
"Where's Tianyi? I'm going to find him!"
I struggled to get up and was about to walk out of the prison door, but I didn't think that my eyes would be black, and I would fall headlong on the door, unconscious.
The next day, when I got up from the dragon couch with my heavy head covered, dozens of palace maids were already kneeling in front of me.
"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose!"
When they saw me awake, they bowed to me respectfully.
I looked around the huge dormitory, covered my aching heart with one hand, and asked softly the palace maid kneeling in front of me, "Where is Qi Yan?"
"Back to the queen, the emperor went to the early court. ”
"Don't call me Queen. ”
I got up suddenly, but before I could stand firmly, I lost my weight and fell heavily to the ground.
I subconsciously supported the ground with my elbows, and accidentally pulled the wound on my wrist that had not yet healed, and another ** blood stain oozed out, staining the clean gauze red, and the pain made me inhale.
"Don't move! Why are you so careless?"
Qi Yanfeng rushed into the hall in a hurry, he placed me on the couch, carefully examined the wound on my wrist, and asked in a deep voice, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. I replied absentmindedly.
Seeing this, the palace maids who had been kneeling on the ground withdrew from the dormitory one after another, and closed the door lightly.
After Qi Yan bandaged the wound on my wrist, he followed up on the couch and hugged me tightly into his arms, "Don't stay until your body is completely recovered." ”
The calming ambergris incense poured into my nose impartially through the dark dragon robe on Qi Yan's body.
"Ge'er, what Prince Rong can give you, I can also give you. Qi Yan's voice was slightly hoarse, and his hand tugged at my belt intentionally or unintentionally.
I struggled to break free from his confinement and staggered to the lodge.
Qi Yan also got off the bed, he clasped my chin with one hand, forcing me to look directly at him, "How about a deal?"
Before he could elaborate on what the deal was, I had already guessed it.
"Qi Yan, in this life and this life, I can't tolerate anyone else except for jealousy in my heart. ”
He said paranoidly, "I don't care. As long as you become my queen, I promise you that I will definitely rescue Prince Rong from the hands of Tianyi. ”
I bit my lower lip, my long nails digging deep into my palms. After a moment of silence, I finally spat out a word, "Okay." ”
When Qi Yan heard this, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart anymore, and put all this ecstasy on me.
I knew that he was so soft-hearted that he couldn't even see me cry. But this time, I didn't ask him, I just closed my eyes in pain, and swept away all the sorrow in my eyes.
I owe Qi Yan enough, how can I expect him to save me from Rongji without asking for anything in return?
I will pay back what is due. Even then, I could no longer face the taboo.
But as long as the tolerance is safe and sound, it is all worth it.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yan, whose body was getting tighter and tighter, suddenly let go of me, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, "You are willing to do this for him!"
He broke my clenched fist, looked at my fleshy palm, and gasped, "I beg you to stop torturing yourself, okay? ”
I didn't mean to torture myself, but the wound in my palm just overshadowed the pain in my heart.
"Take care of your injuries, and I'll come back to see you later. ”
After treating the wound in my palm, Qi Yan resolutely got up and fled from the dormitory in a hurry.
