Jinnan Foreign History Station.

"Lord Wang, there is still no news of the eldest princess." Jing Chu Chu said.

"I didn't see the eldest princess when I visited the prince's mansion at night, and on the day of Xiuyi's wedding, the eldest princess didn't appear, so thinking about it, the eldest princess is very likely to be in danger." Fang Mu trimmed the flowers and plants placed in front of the window, and his eyes were dignified.

"According to the secret report, the day before the arrival of the Su Yan mission, Xiu Yi personally led his troops to capture a spy at the Wuhua Gate in Licheng, and because the prince's wedding was approaching, the matter was handled in a low-key manner, so few people knew about it." Jing Chu Chu said.

"Xiu Yi personally led the troops?" Fang Mu smelled the unusualness in this matter, and he stopped what he was doing, "Who else is it that is worthy of his own hands?" Is there any news of that spy? ”

"No, there is no trace of that spy, and there is no place for people to start." Jing Chuchu shook his head and said.

"Wipe it so cleanly, there must be a problem, let the people below pay attention to every move of the prince's mansion in recent days, and report it immediately if they find an abnormality." Fang Mu said.

"Yes." Jing Chuchu arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, there is one more thing, the missions of various countries have left for China one after another in the past few days, and we are afraid that if we stay any longer, we will arouse suspicion." ”

"Indeed, the safety of the eldest princess is at stake, and you must be cautious. The king immediately entered the palace, bid farewell to Emperor Jinnan, and set off three days later. Fang Mu said, "If there is still no progress within three days, this king will bring an envoy back to China first, and you will stay and continue to inquire about the news of the eldest princess." ”

Jing Chuchu saluted and retreated, Fang Mu looked at the new branch that had just been cut in his hand, and coughed lightly.

There was a burst of warm crisp from the umbilicus. Hemp, the bone-eroding steel needle that pierced into the Shenque acupoint was finally sent out of the body, but it would take time to force the other seven bone-eroding steel needles out of the body.

Today is the seventh day, and tomorrow he will come and take the blood of his new wife.

Lime didn't dare to delay in the slightest, she carefully led the internal force, slowly ascending to open up every acupuncture point, until it surged all over her body.

Everything is ready, and there is only one opportunity to save one's life, and even more so to save one's heart.

Xiuyi, between you and me, there should be a break.

The next morning, when Xiu Yi returned to the dungeon, he was shocked by what he saw.

The tub was cracked, and the ground was littered with herb-laden sewage, and two steel chains were broken and scattered all over the floor, filling the dungeon with the smell of herbs.

It was indeed he who underestimated the phoenix blood sandalwood, and also underestimated the perseverance of the lime.

The effect of the medicinal bath is to make the phoenix blood sandalwood in the blood collect to the chest, but at the same time, it also activates the medicinal effect of the phoenix blood sandalwood. The blood is connected, and the medicinal effect of phoenix blood sandalwood is 100 times more active than usual, and when circulating throughout the body, it will naturally heal and detoxify the body and eliminate dissent.

With Lime's internal force, as long as one of the eight bone-eroding steel needles is loose, she can carry the internal force upward, rushing through the acupuncture points everywhere until she breaks through the restraints.

Xiu Yi's heart was full of fear, the process of gravitational force going up was like cutting off the skin, it would definitely make her miserable, if she failed to persevere in the process, the internal force would definitely get out of control and run rampant in her body, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lime, why bother?" The sound of repairs spread throughout the dungeon, and all I got was the cold echo of joy and sorrow.

"It's been seven or eight years since this dungeon was built." A hoarse voice came from behind Xiu Yi, and the unusually calm tone made Xiu Yi's heart suddenly uneasy, "It seems to be tailor-made for me." ”

Xiu Yi didn't speak, he didn't even turn to look at her, because he didn't know how to face it, how to answer.

"Xiuyi, I'll just ask you one thing." With a slight movement of lotus steps, Lime took a few steps forward, and there was a hint of exhaustion hidden in her calm voice like water, "From the beginning, you came for the blood that flowed from my body, right?" ”

Word by word, like a muffled thunder, it slashed on his heart again and again, Xiu Yi's body was shocked, and the hand holding the crescent moon couldn't help but loosen a little.

He turned slowly, his eyes sweeping over the scattered herbs on the ground, and finally resting on hers.

Her clothes were torn and stained with blood, her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and three thousand green silks were scattered at random on the back of her head because of the lack of crescent moons.

He had seen her wise and quick-witted; I've seen her strategize; I have seen her hanging pot to help the world; I have also seen her angry like a gossamer; But he had never seen her so calm and calm that made his heart panic today.

Facing her unwavering eyes, Xiu Yi seemed to have fallen into the bottom of the cold in an instant, and a coldness gradually eroded him and froze his heart.

He would rather have endless hatred and endless resentment in her eyes, at least then she still loved him.

At this moment, Xiu Yi clearly understood that he was really going to lose her.

"I guess, I know the answer." Lime raised the corners of her chapped lips, and her pale smile seemed to be about to fade away with the wind, "Xiuyi, if you don't do it, I'll be leaving." ”

Xiu Yi's mind was full of her pale smile, and as he watched Lime leave step by step, he clenched the crescent moon in his hand, as if it was fixed in place, and he could not take a step.

The fresh and natural air filled her nostrils, the tender and warm sunlight sprinkled on her face, and the spring breeze blew in her ears, bringing the rustle of young leaves with the wind.

February is supposed to be so vibrant.

Lime was unarmed and walked forward, but was so startled that everyone with the knife retreated one after another.

"Zhuo Qinglime, I'm not a senior brother, I won't be merciful, you'd better be caught, otherwise Hugh blames the sword for having no eyes!" Hong Xia Yi drank the lime fiercely.

Lime raised the corners of her lips slightly, her eyes were full of banter, she slowly stepped forward to approach Hongxia Yike, and said in a suppressed voice, "Second Prince, how is the Prince's Mansion compared to the Second Prince's Mansion?" ”

"What do you mean?" Hongxia Yike asked coldly.

"yes, who is Xiuyi? Prince Jinnan, who is famous all over the world, naturally has countless treasures and beautiful concubines in the mansion, how can it be compared with the little second prince's mansion! It's no wonder that the second prince is happy. Lime laughed.

"Zhuo Lime, you don't want to play tricks! This prince will not fall for you! Hongxia Yi said.

"As a retinue appointed by the emperor, I have a word to ask the second prince." Lime raised her voice and said, "Why did the Second Prince turn a blind eye to Shuo Chu's emergency recall orders issued several times? ”

Hongxia Yike was stunned for a moment, and was about to refute when he was interrupted by Lime sharply, "Ordinary people's parents have died, and their children have been wearing linen and keeping filial piety for three years, not to mention the dignified royal family!" The first emperor died, and as one of the only two bloodlines left under the knees of the first emperor, he should rush back quickly, and there is no difference! And you! Because he indulged in enjoying the glory of other countries, he turned a blind eye to the recall order, and became the prince of Shuochu in vain! ”

Hongxia Yike suddenly burst into muscles, and raised his hand to grab the placket of the lime's clothes, "You are talking nonsense!" When did this prince receive a recall order! You say that your father died, which is nonsense! ”

"Whether it's nonsense or not, the second prince knows it in his heart." To Shanghong Xia Yike's angry eyes, Lime was frank in his eyes, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"You tell me clearly!" Hongxia Yike's eyes were round with anger, and the hand holding the placket of the lime was already trembling with excitement.

Seeing the changing expressions of the two guards behind Hongxia Yike, Lime knew that his plan was half successful.

Qiu Chulin once told her that among the guards who accompanied Hongxia Yike, one of them was the internal response of the regent palace, and the other was the internal response of the old ministers of the court.

Once the news of the emperor's death came to Shuochu from Jinnan, there would inevitably be a sensation in the Shuochu Dynasty, and she would fish in troubled waters.

Ignoring Hongxia Yike, Lime condensed his internal force in the palm of his hand, took advantage of the situation to hit him in the abdomen, and then broke free from the restraints, grabbed a sharp sword with his backhand, and rushed into the crowd to fight.

"Senior brother, what are you still doing in there? If she runs away, what will happen to Sister Ying'er's illness? Hongxia Yike clutched his abdomen and retreated, and only came back to his senses when he stood firm, he shouted angrily in the direction of the dungeon, and when he turned back, Lime had already fought his way out of the encirclement and fled outside.

There was a dead end in front of him, and behind him was the sound of approaching shouts of killing, and Lime held on to the throbbing pain in his chest, and once again mobilized his internal force, and used light skills to climb over the high wall, shaking off the people who were chasing behind him.

But the Prince's Mansion is not an ordinary mansion after all, there are hidden guards everywhere, so no matter where Lime flees, she will attract more than a dozen secret guards with strong martial arts to fight against her.

Her physical strength was rapidly draining, and her tricks were becoming more and more inadequate, and Lime realized that the medicinal bath of those days had caused her such a serious dark injury.

Not daring to delay any longer, Lime climbed the high wall, not hesitating to expose himself to the public, just to escape from the prince's mansion as quickly as possible.

His physical strength was rapidly lost, his legs gradually lost sensation, and the dull pain in his chest hit his heart like a heavy bronze bell that had been ringed, causing a wave of dizziness.

The pursuers behind her surrounded her once more, and she fell to one knee on the ground, her crumbling body supported by a broken sword in her hand.

Cold eyes swept over everyone, Lime raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, and then raised an unknown smile. Yingying's smile appeared on a bloodless face, like a sneer, and like a mockery.

Holding the remnant sword to his feet, Lime walked towards the closed gate of the Prince's Mansion with difficulty, the tip of the sword slicing across the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.

"Lime, if you leave this door, I won't let you go back and forth like I did in the mansion, when the sword has no eyes, and my life is at stake." Xiu Yi frowned slightly, and slowly walked from behind everyone, with a bit of warning in his tone.

"It turned out to be draining my physical strength." Lime suddenly realized, she stopped, endured the growing pain in her chest, and held on to prevent herself from falling.

"I still underestimated you, I didn't expect you to go so far." Xiu Yi narrowed his eyes, and the crumbling figure stung a softness hidden in his heart.

"Xiu Yi, I really can't understand you." Lime turned around slowly, the sharp pain in her chest made her eyes fall on Xiu Yi's body into a trance, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she knew what kind of expression he was at the moment.

"To repay the favor." After being silent for a long time, Xiu Yi finally opened his mouth, and there was a faint heaviness in his tone.

"What affection do I have with you?" Lime was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly.

"When I was a child, I entered Su Yan as a hostage, and you and I have done a lot of convenience." Xiu Yi Dao.

"I have helped me several times in times of crisis, just for the grace of this drop of water, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really lifted me." Another wave of dizziness spread from his heart, and Lime's figure shook slightly.

"It's also to repay the life-saving grace of taking blood into medicine today." Xiu Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone was full of guilt, "I wanted to help you rescue your father, but Ying'er's illness can't wait." ”

"In this way, you and I don't owe each other." Lime sneered, and Jade clenched her hand into a fist, letting her nails sink deep into her palm.

The sharp pain from the palm of her hand offset the slight dizziness, which made her suddenly sober up a lot.
