Then, Ruan Qingzhi was locked up by Ling Shuang.

According to Ling Shuang's statement, he originally planned to politely send her back after talking about the matter, but she betrayed his kindness, so he could only keep her.

But Ruan Qingzhi knew that this was not the case.

From the moment he began to count her, they were enemies. So her situation at the moment is not to blame, and she can't blame herself for making the wrong choice.

In fact, if she had chosen to agree to Ling Shuang's request, the situation would have been even worse.

Either he didn't believe her, and thought she was treacherous and was doubly wary; Either they think she is cold and vicious, and they hate her while using her, and by the way, they turn the guilt of fratricidal cannibalism into hatred and put it on her, and force her to be charged with a red face and trouble.

This is the best outcome like this. At this moment, although Ling Shuang hated her for being stubborn, she had to admit in her heart, "Although that little girl is stupid, she still has a little conscience."

Ruan Qingzhi is not uncommon, others affirm her conscience, but she likes others to think she is stupid.

It's much easier to deal with fools than it is to deal with smart people. His Royal Highness King Jin inquired about the news every day, calculated that others were so busy and tired, and he must be willing to save some energy.

Ruan Qingzhi was also very happy that he was willing to save his strength, which was really a joy for all.

So Ruan Qingzhi lay in the small black room all day contentedly. The charcoal fire in the brazier is enough, the bedding on the soft couch is very soft and comfortable, the snacks and fruits sent by the maidservants are very sweet, the melon seeds are full, and the tea is a famous product.

It's really a fairy life.

But there is no immortal in the world who is trapped in a dark room and is not allowed to go out.

All day, Cheng Hu and Li San had no news, and the little maids of King Jin were leisurely and calm, obviously the situation was completely under Ling Shuang's control, and there were no accidents.

Ruan Qingzhi was very anxious. After the little maids removed the dishes and chopsticks for dinner and said, "Please rest in peace sooner", she couldn't lie down.

Asking her to rest early means that the girls won't bother again. But will there be someone guarding the door? Could Ling Shuang have already arranged for someone to be outside, just waiting for her to escape and catch her properly?

There are no answers to these questions, and Ruan Qingzhi doesn't plan to bother guessing to infer that she has to run away no matter what, and it doesn't matter if there is someone guarding her.

But when and how to escape can be very different.

Ruan Qingzhi did not wait for the third watch in the middle of the night, let alone the darkest time on the fourth watch.

The night had just fallen, and the sound of more drums had not yet sounded, and the sound of children laughing in the alley not far away, and the sound of can't wait for the New Year's Eve to be the first to fire firecrackers was still there, Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help but stack the two stools together and stepped on the beam.

Yes, she wasn't going to squeeze out of that rat-hole-like window, which she suspected was a trap for her.

She wants to tear down the roof.

This house is a private house, and it does not use the large glazed tiles in the palace, nor does it have the dense purlins and tightly connected tiles like the rich and noble.

In this kind of house, the distance between the purlins is enough for her to easily get out, and the bundles of straw tied on top and the soil mixed with loess mixed with wheat husks are very fragile and can be cut with a sharp knife with some effort. The top layer of tiles is not very tight, as long as the movement is light, you can lift two or three pieces with your bare hands, and it is really easy to get out of one person.

Ruan Qingzhi was thinking like this in his heart, and he didn't stop moving his hands for a moment, and soon cut off a large piece of soil squarely. She thought about it for a moment, and instead of throwing it directly on the ground, she carefully placed it on the beam of the house to prevent it from falling.

Then he became more and more proficient, and it didn't take much effort to cut a hole that was enough to drill out on his own.

Ruan Qingzhi withdrew the sharp knife and wiped it distressedly, inserting it back into the sheath.

When I reached out to push the tile, I felt slightly dizzy, and I was about to look up for too long.

She retracted her hand, untied the half of the sheet that had been wrapped around her face to keep the dust out, and lay down on the beam.

Not to mention, it was quite comfortable to lie here, and from that small window, you could see the bare trees in the courtyard outside, swaying and whining in the wind.

Not right-

Catching a glimpse of a black shadow under the tree out of the corner of his eye, Ruan Qingzhi was immediately alert, hurriedly turned over and sat up, dragged the half of the sheet on the beam of the room and slid it down, knocked over a stool and stumbled to the ground.

There was a sudden uproar in the room.

Ruan Qingzhi only had time to kick over the candlestick on the table, and then he heard a knock on the door, and someone broke in.

The candlestick rolled twice on the ground with the candle and went out, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness. The person at the door was stunned for a moment, and quickly rushed forward: "What are you doing?!" ”

It was Ling Shuang who came in person.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the stool rolling off the ground, pulled half of the sheet in his hand, and cried out: "I'm not alive anymore!" Get out! I'm going to die for you! - No, you forced me to die! I won't let you go! ”

Ling Shuang was so hurt by her crying that she looked at the light shining in at the door for a long time before she confirmed in disbelief: "You want to ...... Hang oneself? ”

"You just hanged yourself!" Ruan Qingzhi cried and scolded, "I'm calling it hanging beam and committing suicide!" ”

That's not the same thing.

Ling Shuang was helpless: "Don't make trouble." This king doesn't have the heart to play this kind of child's trick with you. ”

"A child's trick is also a trick, and a child's hanging beam will also die!" Ruan Qingzhi continued to cry, "I've lived so long, except for my father, my stepmother, and my half-kissed sister, no one dares to bully me like this!" I'm not alive anymore! ”

Ling Shuang frowned and stepped forward, snatched the sheet from her hand, and her face slowly darkened.

The sheets were torn, and there were traces of hard tugging, so it was impossible to hear him coming and make an impromptu play.

This little girl, do you really want to die?

"Why?" He asked coldly.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't have the ability to take back the sheets, so he simply sat on the ground and cried: "I don't know why...... How do I know why? All I know is that I'm feeling bad...... Is Ye Han dead? You sent someone to kill him, didn't you? ”

"Yes." Ling Shuang suddenly admitted, "You won't promise me, so I have to send him on the road first." When the third brother is gone, you promise me the same. ”

"You fart!" Ruan Qingzhi cried so much that his throat burst out, "I only said that I wouldn't agree to you during the day, even if you put on your wings and fly to kill him, it's too late!" It's clear that you have already sent someone to kill him, and those thieves are clearly your people! If you don't admit it, you won't admit it, you will mutilate your siblings, and you want to rely on me, you have no shame! People like you are so bad, if I follow you, I will definitely push me out once something happens, saying that I am a red face and a troublemaker! ”

Ling Shuang was so loud that her ears rang loudly, and she felt a little admired in her heart.

This little girl, crying like this, is quite clear, and it's not easy.

He suddenly sneered: "That's right, you guessed it all right. ”

Ruan Qingzhi's crying came to an abrupt end.

Ling Shuang lowered her head and looked at her condescendingly: "The bandits in the north are my people, and I ordered them to strangle the Northwest Army." The book of the flying pigeon of the right talent has arrived, and they have succeeded. ”

Ruan Qingzhi sat on the ground and froze.

What does it mean to be "successful"?

Strangling the Northwest Army? Kill...... Li Wang Linghan?

How can this be? Isn't the Northwest Army known as one enemy to one hundred? Could it be that the prestige of so many years has been blown out?

And that bastard of Ye Han, he was already a dead man, why did he have to die a second time? Playful? The Ten Palaces of Yama don't want to see him, okay!

Ruan Qingzhi felt that she was angry enough, but Ling Shuang came over and squatted down in front of her, raised her hand to help her wipe her face: "Don't cry." He's all right when he's dead. ”

"Who cries ......" Ruan Qingzhi instinctively wanted to deny it, but saw a wet piece on Ling Shuang's sleeve.

How?

Did she cry so many tears when she faked crying just now?

Ruan Qingzhi was a little confused.

Ling Shuang held her shoulders with both hands, her face was soft, and her voice softened: "Don't cry, life and death are also common things in life." Without the third brother, I will give you a better one. ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised his head and looked at him in a daze.

Ling Shuang leaned forward tentatively, bringing her neck to her mouth.

Ruan Qingzhi still looked blank, his eyes did not show a fierce light, and he did not open his mouth to bite like a little beast that was only provoked.

Ling Shuang was relieved.

He leaned back slightly to stretch the distance between the two to a reassuring level, and smiled slightly: "Lord Qingyang, there is no point in dying or living for a man. For a beauty like you, it is enough to have brocade clothes, jade food, and beads surrounded by greenery, and I can give you all of these. ”

"I want the phoenix seal." Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said.

Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, I'll let you get your wish!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi bit the corner of his lip and raised his head: "Can you let me go now?" ”

Ling Shuang didn't answer and asked, "Isn't it good to be a guest here?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him and didn't answer.

Ling Shuang smiled again, helpless like coaxing a child, and patient like coaxing a child: "It's not that this king refuses to send you home, but now there are variables outside." You know, none of my brothers are truly honest. When the news of the third brother's death comes back, anything may happen in the DPRK. Now you are a piece of fat mutton, and everyone wants to fight for it. ”

Ruan Qingzhi doesn't like the metaphor of "fat mutton". She looked down at her wrist and pouted.

Seeing this, Ling Shuang smiled even deeper, but still insisted on finishing the previous words: "It's not a good thing to be fought over like fat mutton, it will hurt you, and it will also drop the price." So you should live here with peace of mind, and then go with me to explain to my father when the matter is over." ”

"Everybody knows I've lived with you for a long time, so I'm going to have to be you, aren't I?" Ruan Qingzhi asked coldly.

Ling Shuang smiled: "Yes. ”

It's so frank that it's almost impossible to say. Ruan Qingzhi stared at him and didn't speak again for a long time.

Ling Shuang was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, and stood up with a smile and took two steps back: "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and lowered his head: "He's ...... Will it come back? ”

Ling Shuang's brows furrowed slightly, and then he returned to normal, his expression was still gentle: "Yes." He is the prince, of course, he has to go back to Beijing for burial. ”

Ruan Qingzhi grinned and didn't speak, so Ling Shuang gently reassured, "I can take you to see him for the last time." If you have anything you want to do for him, you can prepare in advance. ”

"You're more thoughtful than I thought." Ruan Qingzhi's tone was flat and authentic.

Ling Shuang still smiled calmly: "There are many royal relatives, and there are naturally many weddings and funerals, and this king is very familiar with it." You're still young, so you don't have to worry about these chores. ”

Ruan Qingzhi shrank into the corner with his legs in his arms and did not answer.

Ling Shuang stood and looked at her for a while, shook the half of the sheet, and threw it to the ground: "Don't play this kind of trick again." If you really dare to die, I will send you to a beggar to marry her. ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered and snorted a snot bubble.

Ling Shuang immediately frowned, threw down the sheets and walked out quickly. The servant stepped forward and closed the door and re-locked it.

Ruan Qingzhi leaned against the corner of the wall and sat quietly for a long time, listening to the wind outside blowing something knocking on the door, listening to the dead branches whining in the wind, listening to the footsteps of the little guy outside the door and turning back and forth a few times, and finally walked away.

After beating the drum three times, Ruan Qingzhi slowly stood up with his hands on the root of the wall, gritting his teeth:

"After I die, my soul will not return to the underworld, and I am not afraid of a marriage with a yin marriage."

"However, I don't hang myself. It is you who should be hanged. ”

"If he really dies, I'll cut you with three thousand six hundred cuts."

"Nanqi, whoever is the emperor can do it. But you don't have that chance. ”

The two stools were still lying on the ground, and Ruan Qingzhi slowly put them back up, helped them stand for a moment, and then jumped up and stepped steadily onto the beam.

The tiles were easily removed by her. Ruan Qingzhi did not hesitate for a moment, climbed up at the fastest speed in his life, and ran wildly on the roof.

She had never done anything about flying eaves and walking on walls before, so she didn't run smoothly under her feet, and she didn't know how many tiles she had broken and how many people had been alarmed.

But she didn't care too much about it at this time, and someone had already spotted her.

Maybe it's the people who are disturbed, maybe it's the children who refuse to sleep, and of course it's more likely to be the ubiquitous secret guard of King Lingshuang of Jin.

Ruan Qingzhi realized that she was too naïve. I always thought that as long as I knocked down the dragon king, I could be done, but I didn't know that there were so many people in the world who were thinking about that chair.

King Rui had just fallen, and King Qing immediately jumped up; King Qing's bones are not cold, and King Jin can't hold it anymore.

You sing and I'll appear.

Now it seems that the King of Rui, who was the first to be the first bird, is a fool, and she and Ye Han, who regard King Rui as the number one enemy, are even more stupid. Behind them, I don't know how many people are waiting to be fishermen, and how many people are waiting to be yellow birds.

King Jin has really sung well in these years. Listening to the meaning of his words, I am afraid that the situation in Shangjing is now under his control. She thought he was a gentle and occasionally inexplicable idle prince!

Who else but King Jin?

The remaining five, including the Nine Emperor Princes, who had only been weaned for a few days, Ruan Qingzhi didn't dare to rest assured.

It's not a short alley, but it's not infinitely long. Ruan Qingzhi was thinking about many things in a mess while running, and in his absent-mindedness, he didn't even realize that the roof under his feet had come to an end.

After taking a step, she instantly sensed weightlessness, and her body had fallen uncontrollably.

This height is not enough to fall to death, and what is more serious is that someone has already chased out of the alley. Looking at her skills, she knows that she is a practitioner, and it is definitely not something that she can deal with with three-legged cat kung fu.

Ruan Qingzhi secretly complained in his heart, at this point, there was no other way, he could only grit his teeth and try to adjust his body shape in mid-air, so as not to break his arms and legs when he fell.

The pain is inevitable, and it seems that being caught back is a sure thing. Ruan Qingzhi had already begun to curse the sky in his heart.

But at this moment, her waist suddenly tightened, and then the whole person only felt dizzy, and then looked at the gable in front of her had changed its angle.

Someone caught her.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't know whether to rejoice or despair for a while. She subconsciously struggled for a while, and found that it was useless, so she instinctively began to beg for mercy: "King Jin...... His Royal Highness the King of Jin! I said I was just out for a walk, do you believe it or not? I didn't want to run, really......"

"Shut up!" There was a roar overhead.

Ruan Qingzhi shut up in fright, and then found that he had been carried by someone and ran up, but the direction was not the previous courtyard.

So, is this a rescue coming?

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't believe it, after all, her luck in this life was really not good.

But believe it or not, she was actually being carried away and running away. Behind him, King Jin's secret guard was still chasing, but the distance was gradually getting farther away.

This man carried her, and ran faster than the empty-handed guards? What a skill!

Cheng Hu and Li San may not have such skills, and as a guard, it is impossible for her to shut up.

Who else will come to her rescue besides those few people?

Ruan Qingzhi was puzzled, but realized that the man had carried her around the two alleys, and then shook her hand vigorously and threw her out.

Thrown on horseback.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't hesitate at all, and before he could grasp the reins, he slammed the horse's belly and said, "Drive!" ”。

The horse stood firm, not moving.

The reins were quickly taken away. There was one more person on the horse's back, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and gently shook the reins with the other, and the black horse bounced out in an instant.

Nguyen Thanh Chi was both horrified and deeply frustrated.

Someone grabbed it on the shoulder. The man's voice was low, with a bit of gritted teeth: "I saved you, but you want to get rid of me and run by yourself?" The conscience of the county lord of Qingyang is really good! ”

"I didn't!" Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "I thought you had come up, I was cowardly, I was scared!" They're going to kill my ......"

The male voice interrupted her coldly: "He won't be willing to kill you." Heaven is destined for the phoenix, no matter whether it is useful or not, our brothers would rather believe in it than believe in it. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was shocked: "Your brothers? You're—"

She struggled to turn on the horse, but all she could see was one of the man's jaws.

It is square and angular, and a messy beard is quite ugly.

She hadn't seen that face before. But if the phrase "our brother" was what she understood, she could have guessed who this person was without looking at the face.

There are only two princes she has never seen, and the eighth prince is only six or seven years old, so there is no doubt that this person is the famous stupid sixth prince, Ling Ao.

At the age of seventeen, I still have to go to the study on time to endorse the book, because I was disgusted by the emperor because of what I can't do, and there is no one who has been crowned a king.

But, stupid? Why not?

Ruan Qingzhi laughed and looked up at the sky: "It turns out that the Sixth Highness is also deeply hidden. Disrespectful. ”

The sound of horses' hooves cleared the night and galloped through the street. The man behind him didn't speak, and he didn't know if it was a tacit acquiescence.

Ruan Qingzhi came to his senses and asked urgently, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

The man let go of her shoulders, still holding the reins with one hand, leaning back slightly and refusing to cling to her back, his voice was still cold and hard: "Of course it's to send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, those wastes are crazy!" Why, do you still want to go back to the fifth brother? ”

So he is really the sixth prince.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer him, and raised his foot on the horse and kicked it to roll over.

Ling Ao hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" Want to die! ”

"I'm not going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Ruan Qingzhi desperately broke free from his hand, leaning on one side and half-hanging on the horse's back: "I don't care what the hell you're doing, this time I've had enough!" ”

Ling Ao raised his hand and slapped her on the back heavily: "I think you haven't made enough trouble!" If you don't obey again, I'll break your neck! ”

"You're screwed!" Ruan Qingzhi was also on fire, "Hurry up and twist it!" Twisted my neck at night, maybe I could go north to see the dead ghost before my soul was gone! Anyway, none of your Ling family have any good things, the night is cold and dead, and I can't look down on any of the rest! I'm gone, I'm not going to do this errand! ”

"You ......" Ling Ao was dumbfounded, as if he was frightened by her.

Ruan Qingzhi's anger did not subside, and he tried his best to round his eyes, with a fierce expression: "What are you?" Think I really don't dare to die? I can't deal with you, can't I kill myself? ”

Ling Ao looked at her in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

Ruan Qingzhi's heart became more and more sad.

I know that this one is also pretending to be stupid.

A person who has been pretending to be stupid for so many years, of course, has a plan. So he also wants to fight for that position? So tonight he saved her from Ling Shuang's hands, can it be considered black to eat black? Could it be that her "fat mutton" was snatched by him from another dog's mouth?

They grabbed the fun, but she didn't want to be a piece of "fat mutton".

Ruan Qingzhi grinned and wanted to laugh, but saw that the expression on Ling Ao's face became more and more frightened.

He stammered: "Third, third sister-in-law, you ...... What happened to you? ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment: What third sister-in-law?

How could this thief call her third sister-in-law? Didn't he come to rob her?

She was confused, but Ling Ao also looked very flustered. He hurriedly groped around with himself for a long time, and finally took out a stinky sweat towel and handed it over: "Third sister-in-law, you wipe your mouth." ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't feel inappropriate in a daze, and subconsciously did so.

Then she saw a red patch on the sweat towel.

"Third sister-in-law, you vomited blood." Ling Ao said cautiously.

Ruan Qingzhi frowned, threw the sweat towel out casually, and glared, "Should I praise you?" What a slap you made! You've got a lot of strength! You're a hero! ”

"No, it's not!" Ling Ao was anxious, "I didn't use that much energy!" It's ...... you."

"Shut up!" Ruan Qingzhi interrupted him anxiously, "I'm so good that I won't vomit blood!" It's clear that you beat me to vomit blood! You can break my neck and vomit blood, what's not to admit about this little thing! ”

"I didn't!" Ling Ao looked aggrieved, as if he was about to cry: "Third sister-in-law, let's talk well, you can't wronged me!" If you decide that I beat you to vomit blood, I won't dare to see the third brother in the future! ”

The anger on Ruan Qingzhi's face gradually faded.

Ling Ao breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly and carefully helped her dismount, and jumped down with her: "Third sister-in-law, listen to me, I will send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have no malicious ......"

"The night cold is dead." Nguyen Thanh Zhi Mu is authentic.

Ling Ao's face changed drastically.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him with a blank expression, and his eyes were empty and unfocused: "Ling Shuang told me that Ye Han died, I don't believe it." I'm going to find him in the north. Now, you're either going to let me go, or you're going to kill me right here, and don't have any other ideas. Let me tell you, there is no phoenix in Nanqi, there was no phoenix before, and there will be no more. ”
