Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [61] Substitute Death

"Su Jin, the daughter of the people, see the emperor."

Jin'er, a good affectionate title. Chu Changting sneered self-deprecatingly in his heart, but he still made a gentle and shy appearance, with a bit of girlish shyness, and stretched out his hand with a light smile and put it on Yi Lunhuan's hand. The corners of his mouth are soft and curved, and the smile in his petal-like and long eyes is cold.

Yi Lunhuan recognized at a glance that it was Chu Changting in front of him instead of Su Jin, even if the two looked similar like twins, people close to them could still distinguish at a glance. Five years ago, when Su Fu saw him, he knew it in his chest - Su Jin's eyes were big and round, like bright jewels, and he was full of arrogance and arrogance; In contrast, Chu Changting's eyes were long and curved, like fragrant petals, and there was a trace of sweet and beautiful bewitching in the beauty.

Therefore, he had to destroy Su Jin's face at the beginning, just so that one day when he really needed the tanuki to change the prince, no one would be able to detect one or two of them.

Gently holding the delicate softness in his hand, the extreme touch of the palm soft as a bone penetrated into the bone marrow, he gently pinched the softness of the palm, and then led the soft ball onto the sedan chair.

Seeing that Yi Lunhuan was going to take himself to sit on his sedan chair, Chu Changting was stunned, she gently pulled her hands like a coquette, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you want to be a concubine and share a sedan chair?" ”

Since parting three years ago, Yi Lunhuan has rarely seen Chu Changting show such a shy look, and now when he sees her, although he knows that she is acting on the spot, his heartbeat is still missing half a beat. He spoke, his voice was light and soft, like a spring rain moistening the green mountains: "It's okay." I would like to share a sedan chair with my beloved woman. ”

"Even if it is the will of God, it is not in accordance with the rules after all. People are terrible, and the concubine body does not want to be said to be pampered and arrogant, and she does not want the saint to be criticized by people who speculate, so she never dares to exceed the rules. Chu Changting owed, endured the disgust in his heart, and pretended to be knowledgeable.

"If everyone pays attention to what everyone says, wouldn't it be very tiring to live?" Yi Lunhuan smiled freely, took Chu Changting's hand and got into the sedan chair. Chu Changting shook his head, when did Yi Lunhuan smile so much? After thinking about it, Yi Lunhuan showed such a gentle side to Su Jincai, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little low.

The entourage around them all bowed their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, and Kang Jiuhe was even so shocked that he even crooked his beard. Mei Rong stood on the side of the sedan chair, wearing a veil, looking clear - she had been wearing a veil since she entered the Su Mansion, for fear of being recognized as a twin between herself and Mei Makeup, and exposing Mei Makeup's identity.

Yi Lunhuan named the news that he wanted to take the fourth lady of the Su family into the palace and share a sedan chair with her soon spread throughout the day, and everyone said that Wei Huanting was deeply favored, but she had never been promoted to a higher position in the palace for half a year, and she had never been so honored. And now in just a few days, Yi Lunhuan has given Su Jin supreme favor, and the emperor has finally moved his heart to the emperor of the civil and military officials in the streets and alleys, and Su Jin will definitely favor the six palaces in the future and be the head of the harem concubines.

Over there, Yi Lunhuan and Chu Changting went boating on Changyuan Lake, and Mei Yan went to visit Mei Yan, who had just recovered from a serious illness. In the simple but exquisite wooden house, Mei Yan drank the hot porridge that Mei Makeup brought to her from Su Mansion, and her arm wound was still wrapped in bandages.

"Nanban has a lot of poisonous insects and fierce beasts, and the barbarians are used to using poison, this time I was negligent." Mei Yan finished drinking the porridge and said indignantly with an expressionless face.

"It's good that Chu Nanpu is saved." Mei Makeup's voice was like clear water and dull, and she couldn't hear any emotion, "You've healed most of your injuries, so I'll go and say hello to the saint in a few days." The saint came for two days, and it was not in accordance with the rules after not going. ”

"The subordinates know, thank you for the reminder." Mei Yan thanked lightly.

Mei Makeup saw that Mei Yan was fine, so she hurried back to the house. As she passed by Jing Zhai, she suddenly paused, turned her head to look at the closed doors and windows, and a trace of bloodthirsty violence crossed her pale face.

Since the age of ten, she has been by Yi Lunhuan's side for more than ten years. When Yi Lunhuan was still the prince, she and Mei Rong were already his right-hand men. Therefore, even if others don't know, she also knows clearly about the past between Yi Lunhuan and Chu Changting. She didn't understand love in her early years, but she only knew that Yi Lunhuan once whispered that she wanted to marry Chu Changting when no one was around. She didn't understand what it meant to marry a wife, but later she followed Shen Liangchen's side, gradually became sophisticated, and when she understood the principles of husband and wife, Yi Lunhuan suddenly gave Chu Changting as Shen Liangchen's wife.

She knew that Chu Changting could only be one person's wife.

She understood that Yi Lunhuan would not let Chu Changting go easily.

So she hated, she secretly guessed that Shen Liangchen's death must be related to him marrying Chu Changting as his wife, because Chu Changting will become Yi Lunhuan's wife in the future, so she can't be someone else's wife. Yi Lunhuan must kill Shen Liangchen.

Deep in her heart, she always hated Chu Changting.

In any case, you can't be allowed to enter the palace safely with your life on your back.

The wind blows the sleeves, and three poisonous needles are hidden in the cuffs. Mei Xiang looked around, listened quietly, and made sure that only the sound of the wind was in her ears, and then she jumped up to the roof, and the cat slid down to the window behind the meditation, leaning against the wall, and listened intently to the movement in the house.

Mei makeup's hearing has always been different from ordinary people, at this moment her ears fanned slightly, and the sound of even and steady breathing penetrated into her ears, Mei makeup's heart was relieved, and the people in the house were asleep, and it was easy to do it by herself.

The window was already closed, and she snickered through a hole and squinted at the room. Seeing Chu Changting lying quietly on the bed and falling asleep, there was a little maid beside him who was carefully watching the incense stove, maybe it was too close to the incense and a little hot, and the maid kept fanning the wind slightly. Mei Xiang didn't know who the little maid was, but she had never heard of any little maid being sent to Jingzhai to wait. Xu is new here, and I don't know it. Mei Xiang carefully observed for a while, and found that the little girl was the most ordinary little girl, and the hand holding the fan was weak, so she was relieved.

Killing people unknowingly in front of others, Mei Makeup feels extremely excited when she thinks about it. The killer's soul stirred in her body, Mei Xiang felt her qi and blood surging up, the pleasure of killing for a long time trembled her body, and there was a strange light crystal shining in her eyes. Mei Xiang raised her hand, and the poison needle in her hand was aimed at the neck of Chu Changting, who was sleeping, and her fingers contracted slightly, and the silver needle suddenly burst out of the wind like a silver snake spitting out a letter, and was steadily and accurately embedded in Chu Changting's neck artery. The venom on her poison needle is very ferocious, it is a mixture of the venom of the high-quality hundred-ringed rattlesnake and the tail of the poisonous scorpion of the Ultimate Delirium Mountain. Once this poison enters a person's body, it will die of poison within a moment, and the poison is so fierce that it can be called the most in the world.

However, although there is no cure for this poison, it is not very painful when it occurs. Compared with the pain of snake venom that tortures people's flesh and bones day and night, this poison will destroy people's internal organs in an instant, and with only a moment's pain, the poisoned person will lose consciousness and die peacefully.

Mei Xiang was thinking of Shen Liangchen's affection, and didn't want Chu Changting to die too painfully, so she directly killed her with a poisonous needle.

"General, Mei Makeup can't stand you, but Mei Makeup has to do this, Mei Makeup has its own difficulties." Mei Makeup tugged at the corners of her mouth and put on a smiling expression stiffly. She knew that Shen Liangchen liked to laugh the most when he was alive, so for countless days and nights, she hid alone in the middle of the night to learn how to laugh. Now that she has finally learned, although she has done it ugly and stiff, she is extremely satisfied.

The poisonous needle sank into her neck, and the woman lying on the bed shook her body like an evil one, a smear of blood flowed silently from the corner of her mouth, and her head was tilted to one side, and she was silent.

Seeing that Chu Changting was dead, Mei Xiang's heart felt a long-lost pleasure of killing, but then a huge wave of guilt quickly replaced the pleasure and flooded her. Shen Liangchen's earnest entrustment exploded in her ears, her facial features were twisted in pain, and her stomach was tumbling, making her want to gag uncontrollably.

Killing someone was an extremely ordinary thing for Mei Xiang, and she never thought that one day she would become so miserable after killing someone.

The humiliation of dishonesty hit her simple and weak thoughts, she held her head, bowed her body in pain, the concept of loyalty that had been instilled since childhood suddenly overwhelmed her flesh, her eyes were red, and she tried to break free from this overwhelming humiliation, but to no avail.

I will go, I will go with you, and I will die with you. The Mei family is not allowed to commit suicide, otherwise it will be a great crime to remove the family tree. The Mei family regarded the genealogy as supreme and would rather be executed than have the genealogy removed. Mei Makeup's face was hideous, and she was ready to run to Yi Lunhuan to admit her mistake and let him execute herself.

But after all, secular people still covet the red dust and fear life and death. Mei Xiang just ran out half a step before retracting her steps. She was afraid, she didn't want to die, there were so many warm loves and hates in the world, she had just glimpsed the light of day in ignorance, and she didn't want to lose the rest of her life to experience the warmth and coldness of the world. Mei Xiang froze in place, looking back at the woman who was dead on the bed.

Killing people with a poisonous needle would have inevitably exposed herself, and she had already thought that she would admit her mistake after killing Chu Changting, which was nothing more than to apologize for her sins with death, and she would not regret this dull and hesitant life. But at this moment, she finally realized that she had real emotions, the ability to experience the warmth and coldness of the world, and the nature of worldly people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, she was no longer the ignorant and foolish plum makeup she used to be, she became a living person.

She wanted to live.

With his own martial arts, even if he is discovered, he can protect himself and escape from the rivers and lakes. Mei makeup blinked, beads of sweat rolled down her sideburns, and a faint expectation cracked on her pale face, she turned around, ready to go back to her room to get her luggage, but just turned around but was stunned in place, and the person who appeared in front of her made her thunder.

Mei Yan stood behind her, still holding the basket and bowl of hot porridge that Mei Makeup had just sent to her, looking at Mei Makeup who was sweating with a blank face, and her tone was straight and cold: "Second master, you forgot to take the bowl." ”

Changyuan Lake is located in the north of Qingyi City, it is a well-known lover lake in Liangnan, crazy men and women are willing to come here to make wishes and pray for blessings, hang red paper on the locust tree on the side, pray that they often meet each other every year. In addition, there are also people with various other wishes who come here to pray for blessings, so Changyuan Lake has always been crowded with tourists, and it is the most prosperous place.

Perhaps because of the working day, there are not many tourists in Changyuan Lake today. Although the news of the emperor's southern tour is well known, at this moment, Yi Lunhuan is dressed in white clothes, like the most ordinary young man, and no one knows that he is the son of heaven of the Ninety-Five. Yi Lunhuan took Chu Changting's hand and walked leisurely along the lake, just like the husband and wife of ordinary people.

"The emperor knows that when the concubine was young, he always thought that she could live the life of ordinary people like this, find someone to live her old age, and live a plain and stable life." The clear water is clear, the bamboo is sufficient, the breeze is blowing, and the sky is as clean as washing. Chu Changting touched the scene, and the words he said were sincere and pure, which was particularly touching to people's hearts.

Plain and steady. Wasn't her plainness and stability destroyed by her own hands? Yi Lunhuan's heart was poked by these words, he stopped and took Chu Changting into his arms, his eyes were deep, and his soft and low voice was like a cloud in the sky.

"What, are you weirding me?"
