Chapter 13: The Shadow of Death (2)

Seeing that the matter of saving Zhuang Ji is close to success, but just listening to Jin Shang's words, even if King Qingxiang changes his mind, what can I do? Qu Yuan looked at Princess Jingyin and motioned for her to hurry up and persuade the king.

Princess Jingyin stretched out her arms to stop King Qingxiang and said, "Brother Wang, stay here." ”

King Qingxiang pushed the princess's arm and said, "It's strange today, the lonely king walked forward, Jin Aiqing shouted again and again to stop." The lonely king walked back, and the princess called Liubu again. Qu Aiqing, do you say that the Lone King still has a way to go? Where does the road not stop? ”

"The king always has a way to go, and for now, the king should follow the established route." Qu Yuan reminded.

Jin Shang was afraid that King Qingxiang would change his mind, so he hurriedly interjected: "The king should take the current route, and never listen to Qu Lao'er's crooked reasoning and heresy again." Stick to your own path and let Qu Lao'er go to hell on the evil road. ”

At this time, Princess Jingyin coldly put Jin Shang's arm and said, "If you don't lead the way, let hell with you." She turned to King Qingxiang and said, "Brother Wang, Jin Shang has repeatedly told the king to stop, just not to tell the mystery of the road ahead." Now ask him to lead the way and see what tricks he plays. ”

"Okay, okay, that's a good idea. It's still Wang Mei who is resourceful. A smile immediately appeared on King Qingxiang's face and said, "Jin Aiqing, King Gu has always admired your loyalty, and when he came to the morgue, King Gu thought about it, and the rogue sister didn't see Zhuang Ji with her own eyes, she didn't feel at ease." Do as the princess says now, and prove your loyalty to the Lone King. ”

Jin Shang immediately had a frightened expression on his face, and stammered, "This...... This...... Isn't the king going back to the palace? Aren't the kabuki dancers looking forward to performing for the king? My lord, the palace is more poetic and flamboyant than this morgue. ”

"Don't interrupt and lead the way." Princess Jingyin urged, "If you delay any longer, General Zhuang has three longs and two shorts, and he will not spare you." As she spoke, she pushed Jin Shang's body forward.

Qu Yuan and a guard stood side by side to block Jin Shang's retreat.

Jin Shang was forced to be helpless, suddenly turned around, grabbed King Qingxiang's left arm, and said frantically: "King, the old minister is going." He dragged King Qingxiang tightly and strode forward. Before everyone could react, they only heard a "plop", and Jin Shang fell straight down and fell into a big trap. And King Qingxiang, who he was holding tightly, also rolled down.

Although Qu Yuan is old, his eyes are not dazzled, his body is still flexible, and more importantly, he is always vigilant about Jin Shang's performance. Just when the king was dragged by Jin Shang, he took a step forward and grabbed King Qingxiang's legs and feet tightly, but he himself fell to the ground. Fortunately, the guards beside him were quick and bent down and reached out to grasp King Qingxiang's other foot tightly.

Jin Shang, who fell into the trap, said loudly: "King, this is the trap laid by the old minister, I didn't expect the old minister to taste it first." However, you have also survived to the end, my lord, because your head has come into contact with the poison skewers laid here. Although Lao Chen and you are not born together, but they die together, they can be regarded as loyal to you to the end, hahaha...... Hahaha......"

Princess Jingyin heard Jin Shang's words and knew that this thief was not at ease until he died. She cried and said, "Hurry up and work hard to get Brother Wang out." ”

Regardless of his old age and frailty, Qu Yuan dragged King Qingxiang's clothes on the spot and said, "Don't be afraid, the king's words are scareless." Come, you bite the thief's arm with your mouth, and only then will he let go. ”

The guards protecting the king were all around the trap, and seeing that the king was about to be pulled down by Jin Shang, one of the guards jumped down silently, and then said: "Brothers testify, Gou Han is willing to die for the king. ”

He stood in the trap, broke Jin Shang's hand that grabbed the king with both hands, and said, "Doctor Jin, don't do anything to the end, let the king go, the king will tolerate you." ”

Jin Shang let go of his hand weakly, and said with a dying breath: "The king is good, the king is good, and the old minister will not be far away." ”

"This old thief, when he is dying, he has not forgotten to curse Brother Wang, he is really innocent." Princess Jingyin said angrily, "Come on, find a big wooden stick and stab Jin Shang, the old thief, to death." ”

After hearing this, King Qingxiang persuaded: "Sister Wang, don't be impulsive. Jin Aiqing has been loyal all his life, how can he let him die like this? Be sure to get him out and treat him well. The Lone King still has to wait for him to resist Qin and regain the lost territory. ”

King Qingxiang was finally rescued.

Princess Jingyin looked at his head carefully, but fortunately, she didn't touch the poison stick in the trap.

It was pitch black in the morgue.

A female nurse was looking for an oil lamp, shaking her head at every face.

Princess Jingyin asked suspiciously, "Did they put Medical Officer Chen and General Zhuang here?" ”

The nurse looked at it and said, "I don't know." After seeing all the dead, she went to another, more humid morgue alone, but found that the door was so nailed that it could not be opened. She shouted, "Someone, open it." ”

The guards smashed the door open, revealing two corpses.

"Doctor Chen." As soon as the nurse saw the face, she recognized him.

Princess Jingyin said suspiciously, "Is it Medical Officer Chen?" She stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was the doctor Chen they were looking for who was lying here. What about General Zhuang? The princess asked impatiently.

The nurse found the base of the inner wall, where a corpse lay wet. "Found it, found it, he must be General Zhuang." The nurse said excitedly.

Princess Jingyin stepped forward to lift the white cloth on the corpse, touched the cheek with her hand and said, "This face is still soft, but cold, and I just died." She put her hand under Zhuang Ji's nose and tried it, and she was inevitably disappointed, as if she had no breath, and said with tears in her eyes, "Carry them to the ward first, and wait for Lang Zhong to check them." ”

After directing and settling Zhuang Ji and Doctor Chen, Princess Jingyin walked out of the ward.

She never understood why Xiao Bu and Ding Huaiyue hated themselves so much, and they wanted to put themselves to death and hurry up? Thinking of this, she decided to ask for clarification.

Since King Qingxiang inspected the hospital, Jin Shang's network of cronies in the hospital has been torn apart. But because Xiao Bu and Ding Huaiyue offended the king and princess of Chu, they were still tied up and detained.

Princess Jingyin came to the temporary detention center where Xiao Bu and Ding Huaiyue were being held, ordered the guards to take the two of them out, stretched out her hand to pat off the dust and grass residue on Xiao Bu's body, and said, "It is not right to detain you two, and this princess will announce your release." However, before you can be free, you must agree to a condition that the princess has proposed. ”

Xiao Bu's face lifted and said with contempt: "What conditions? Isn't it just death? ”

"If I don't see the general in this life, I won't die. Let go of me, I'm looking for the general. Ding Huaiyue shouted loudly and kept moving his arms.

"Don't get excited," Princess Jingyin said kindly, "the conditions that Princess Ben said, you are very easy to do. ”

Xiaobu and Ding Huaiyue had already lost trust in Princess Jingyin, no matter what Princess Ren said, she just didn't listen, so they twisted their heads to the side and refused to look at her.

Princess Jingyin didn't care about this unexplained contempt, and said calmly: "If you are both unwilling to cooperate with the condition that this princess said, this princess really can't let you see General Zhuang again." ”

As soon as they heard that they could meet General Zhuang, Xiao Bu and Ding Huaiyue forgot their hatred for the princess for a while, and said in unison: "As long as the princess can let us see the general, any conditions are fine, and we will agree to it whether it is dead or alive." ”

Princess Jingyin deliberately said slowly: "Actually, this condition is equal to no condition, but looking at the way you two are now, I'm afraid it's difficult to do, so it's better not to say it." ”

Ding Huaiyue begged anxiously: "As long as the princess can let us see my godfather, General Zhuang, everything is easy to say, everything is easy to say." ”

Xiao Bu choked on Ding Huaiyue and said, "What if you are called a traitor and a traitor, you will do it too?" ”

"This? Unless it costs my life. Ding Huaiyue hesitated for a moment and said firmly.

Princess Jingyin interrupted them and said, "Okay, don't fight. The condition that this princess said is that until you have made things clear, you are not allowed to fool around, and you are not allowed to do anything. For example, you think that this princess is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion and secretly harmed General Zhuang, it's okay, but you have to make it clear, come up with evidence, and let the evidence speak for yourself. If they all talk nonsense, then don't make a big mess in the world? Understand that if you act recklessly, you will achieve nothing. Can you agree to this condition? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's up to you to kill or cut, see if I'm afraid." Ding Huaiyue held his head high and didn't listen to Princess Jingyin's words.

Xiao Bu thought for a while and said, "Princess, we don't care if you let people go or not." Medical Officer Chen was forced to drink poison, and General Zhuang's body is still unknown, isn't this a fact? Also, who in this hospital doesn't know that the princess is the commander-in-chief behind the scenes? ”

When Princess Jingyin heard this, her face changed sharply, and she asked, "Do you both think so?" ”

Ding Huaiyue said confidently: "Everyone in the hospital said this, everyone knows that you are still pretending to be an innocent victim, phew!" ”

Princess Jingyin listened to the words of these two guys and seemed to understand something. She didn't say a word, stepped forward to untie the rope behind Xiao Bu's back, and turned around to untie Ding Huaiyue's hands. When you have done this, he said, "Now that you are all free, do whatever you want, go." This princess still has something to do, so I will not accompany her. ”

Xiao Bu and Ding Huaiyue stood there like fools, not knowing why. Watching Princess Jingyin leave step by step, I don't know what it's like.

Princess Jingyin came to the ward and asked Lang Zhong eagerly, "How is the result of the examination?" Is there any hope for General Zhuang to be resurrected? ”

"Princess, don't be in a hurry." Lang Zhong said in a hurry, "Judging from the vital signs, there is no hope for them. However, I found that their bodies have not stiffened and remained soft after such a long period of rest, which means that they still have energy in their bodies for their bodies to consume and maintain the minimum temperature required for life. Wait a little longer to see if a miracle can happen under the warmth of the bedding and artificial induction. ”

An hour passed, Lang Zhong entered the ward and looked at Zhuang Ji and Doctor Chen, and when he came out, he shook his head at Princess Jingyin and said, "It's still like that, nothing has changed." In terms of time, the likelihood of their resurrection is still increasing, but it is negative. ”

Princess Jingyin asked, "How do you speak?" What is negative growth? You're teasing Princess Ben, aren't you? ”

Lang Zhong looked at Princess Jingyin suspiciously and said, "The princess really doesn't know? Nowadays, in order to be different, many of our traditional sayings have been changed, what is called gay, but the real gay is not welcomed; Call the prostitute a young lady, and the real young lady is ashamed; Failure is called tuition payment, and decline is called negative growth......"

"Excuse me, excuse me, what a mess." Princess Jingyin stopped and said, "How did you check it?" Have you ever tempted their snort? ”

"No need to try, in my experience, I can see at a glance whether they can be resurrected in this situation." Lang Zhong said conceitedly.

"I'll wait until Princess Ben goes in and has a look." Princess Jingyin pushed Lang Zhong away with her hand and walked into the ward hopefully. She didn't dare to look at Zhuang Ji first, for fear that the glimmer of hope would be dashed too quickly, so she slowly walked to the bedside where Medical Officer Chen was placed, held her breath, and then bent down, but she didn't dare to open the unpredictable white cloth.
