Chapter 57: Behind Bars

Xiu Yi was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision, he carefully lifted the lime up, held it in his arms, and gently hugged it.

His movements were gentle, as if he was holding a porcelain doll.

Because he knew that every touch he touched would bring her unbearable pain like bones.

He held her steadily, not letting anyone get close, and cautiously carried her into the carriage, carefully protecting her from any bumps.

Everywhere Xiu Yi's arm touched, there were bursts of throbbing pain, and at this moment, Lime's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and this pain almost swallowed her.

"Xiu Yi, now that the matter is now, I am already in your pocket, why don't you let me die to understand?" Tears ran down her cheeks, and wherever she passed, she caused a sharp pain, and the unbearable pain made her voice tremble.

His arms were still so familiar, but they made her heart feel indistinguishable.

"You're not going to die." Xiu Yi held her steady and hurriedly ordered the coachman to move quickly.

The carriage was bumpy, and the whole body of the lime was in severe pain, like ten thousand insects eating bones, ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and the sharp pain surging like a wave, permeating every inch of skin, every bone and blood.

The fine sweat on her forehead had gathered into beads of sweat, and when each bead of sweat slid down, it brought a burst of pain that seemed to break through the skin, and at this moment she was deprived of even the strength to breathe.

Lime closed her eyes, she didn't want to see Xiu Yi's frowning brow, in her eyes, it was just sarcasm.

The pain was like waves of the sea, each time it was like a knife, delicate and delicate, and the lime gradually lost consciousness in this irresistible pain.

In a trance, a person hugged her very tightly, but she subconsciously wanted to escape.

When she woke up again, the sharp pain that permeated her body had dissipated a lot, and instead of it, eight bone-eroding steel nails were driven into the eight major acupoints around her body to seal her internal force, two steel chains tied to two arms at one end, and the other end fixed to the walls on both sides, while her body was fixed in a bath tub full of herbs.

The smell of herbs in the mist on the surface of the water, and the effect of the medicinal bath caused the heart to contract rhythmically, and each contraction brought a pain that seemed to break through the heart.

This is a dungeon with no sunlight, and it is full of all kinds of precious herbs and rare and precious medical books.

Other than that, there's nothing in this dungeon.

This place seems to have been made for her.

Lime moved his arm, and then another sharp pain spread throughout his body, and it seemed that the effect of the poisonous needle left in his body had not completely dissipated.

was locked by the eight major acupoints around her body by the bone-eroding steel nails, even if she was a master like the master, she was helpless, but her internal strength was not as deep as that of the master, and the magic needles in her body were extremely poisonous.

There was another violent contraction in the chest, and a sharp pain came over and gradually subsided. But every time it contracted, the magic cotton needle pierced into the body moved outward by one point, which was probably due to the medicinal effect of the phoenix blood sandalwood.

Lime studied the ingredients of the medicinal bath, and when it became clear about the effects of the medicinal bath, the corners of Lime's lips raised a wry smile.

Phoenix blood sandalwood, a miracle medicine that has repeatedly saved her life under the erosion of flowers, finally mistook her this time.

The treasures of the world, the healing elixir of the flesh and bones of the living dead, who doesn't want to get it?

Even Xiu Yi can't escape this huge temptation.

This medicinal bath can gather the medicinal properties of phoenix blood sandalwood retained in the blood of the lime body in the heart, more than one month, as little as seven days, and the first bowl of heart blood can be taken off can have a healing effect like phoenix blood sandalwood.

"Girl, it's time for lunch." A number of maids presented exquisite dishes in front of Lime, and the leading maid curtsied and saluted, "This is all specially made for you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order, you can eat as much as you want." ”

"I want to see Xiuyi, but if he doesn't come, I won't eat." Lime didn't open her eyes, only said in a cold voice.

"This ......," the leading maid was a little embarrassed, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "Girl, you have not eaten all day, and if you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official business, and tomorrow is the wedding date, so I really can't take a break! ”

Lime didn't say anything more, and the maid didn't eat a bite of food.

The beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down drop by drop, the lime's face was flushed, and he clearly felt the burning pain in his chest gradually intensifying and then slowly disappearing, and he exhaled a heavy breath, and the lime was alive again.

After soaking in the medicated bath all day, I clearly felt that the rhythm of the contractions in my chest was getting faster and faster, and the pain was becoming more and more intense every time.

Just ushered in a period of relief, but suddenly, the umbilicus spasmed violently, and a sharp pain that was different from the past flashed, as if it instantly pulled out a sharp arrow inserted in the body, although it came without warning, it was more like a relief.

At this time, the bone-eroding steel needle that had pierced deep into the Shenque acupoint actually had the intention of loosening.

Lime's heart shook, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and the phoenix blood sandalwood actually saved her again at the last moment.

Lime opened his eyes, the billowing turbidity in his eyes was replaced by hope, and in a few days, the bone-eroding steel needle pierced into the Shenque acupoint would be completely sent out of the body.

At that time, she alone could force all the remaining seven needles out of her body and regain her internal strength.

"Come on, I want to eat." Lime summoned the maid and gave a few simple orders, and the maid was full of joy and hurried to order the kitchen to start a fire, for fear that Lime would change her mind.

Now that he has a countermeasure, the most important thing at the moment is to maintain his physical strength so that he can escape.

Thinking about this, Lime was no longer obsessed with seeing Xiuyi, after all, it didn't matter to her what the truth was.

Jinnan Foreign Embassy Post House.

"I've seen the prince in my humble position." Jing Chuchu held the bamboo tube in his hand, came in the dust, and after saluting, he offered the bamboo tube in his hand.

"Lord Jing, it's been the road." Fang Mu took the bamboo tube and unfolded the danqing in it, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"The emperor ordered to tell the prince that he must take care of his body and do not get tired. and ordered the humble to protect the prince and share the worries of the prince. Jing Chuchu said.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, this time there will be Lord Lao Jing." Fang Mu said.

"The prince is polite, this is all a matter of humble duty." Jing Chuchu said, "In addition, there is another matter, may I ask the prince how many days can he see this person in the painting in Shuochu's mission?" ”

"No, there is no such girl in the Shuochu Mission." Fang Mu took a closer look at this Danqing and replied with great certainty, "Dare to ask Lord Jing, who is in this painting?" ”

"Back to the prince, this Danqing is from the emperor's hand, and the person in the painting is the eldest princess." Jing Chu Chu said, "According to the report, the eldest princess accompanied the second prince of Shuochu to envoy Jinnan as an accompanying medical officer. The emperor ordered the prince to invite the eldest princess back to Suyan. ”

"Obey." Fang Mu immediately surrendered his hand and took the emperor's command.

"Lord, the eldest princess's current identity is Hongxia Yike's personal medical officer, she has never appeared in the post house, she should have lived in the prince's mansion with Hongxia Yike." Jing Chuchu said, "If that's the case, the eldest princess shouldn't be in danger. ”

"Either way, the top priority is to find the eldest princess. Lord Jing, I have to bother you to visit the Prince's Mansion at night. Fang Mu said, "Tomorrow's big wedding, tonight the Prince's Mansion will definitely be heavily guarded, you must be extremely careful, and you must not expose your whereabouts." ”

"Yes." Jing Chuchu arched his hand and said, "Humble duty will go and prepare immediately." ”

The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, but in this dungeon, it is so cold that it makes people chill.

Xiu Yi had been standing here for a long time, watching her forehead covered with beads of sweat, surviving the severe pain again and again, his heart was like a knife.

"What are you going to do?" Lime had just survived a burning spasm, and she was exhausted, her eyes closed, her voice full of weakness and despair.

"Listen to the people, you want to see me." Xiu Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect her to speak first, he was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

"That was yesterday, I don't want to see you today, you can go." Lime thought she had let go, but the moment she heard his voice, her heart still couldn't help but ache.

Xiu Yi looked at her, he wanted to speak and stopped, he hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to leave.

"Xiu Yi ......" Lime finally opened his eyes, taking into account the vague figure he had placed in the dark, "Chinese New Year's Eve promise, can you still count?" ”

Her lips were pale and chapped, and the shape of her lips remained unchanged when she asked.

The voice was filled with endless desolation and despair, as if floating out of his throat, as light as a feather, but accompanied by sighs and cold breath.

There were few crosses, as if she had exhausted her life's strength.

The man in the shadows paused, but said nothing.

The footsteps faded away, and his vague silhouette could no longer be found in the darkness.

The dungeon was empty, quiet as if no one had ever visited.

Lime felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, it felt like something was missing, it was important, but she could never find it again.

Lime snorted, and the laughter echoed through the empty dungeon, inexplicably creepy.

Chinese New Year's Eve Promise......

It was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Rows of red lanterns in the quiet garden are hung high, and the courtyard is as bright as in the daytime, and there is a crisp sound not far away, and a point of light rises into the air, blooming brilliant fireworks, and then rises and blooms one after another, and soon becomes a piece in the air, with all kinds of colors, making people dizzy.

Xiu Yi took her hand and said, "Lime, or I'll marry you now and let me be my wife." ”

She hesitated for a long time, but finally met his eyes, and she said, "When everything settles, I will follow you, ruling the world, weaving and cultivating fields, or traveling all over the world, I will follow you." ”

"How long do you want me to wait?" Xiu Yi rubbed the back of her hand, frowning slightly.

"The desert has been expanding year after year, which has seriously affected the Western Desert, and the Western Desert married Su Yan the year before last, and I am afraid that the King of the Desert is worried about the anointed soil and gold mines in Jinnan. Now Su Yan has the worry of traitors and disasters to the country, and there is the danger of invasion of enemy countries outside, and the West Desert keeps a wait-and-see, afraid that he will change the direction of the sword soldiers and take advantage of the fire to rob Su Yan. Now that my brother has gone to the battlefield to protect the eastern border of Suyan, and at this moment, the western border is worried, how can I stay out of it? Lime lowered her eyes.

"A few days ago, the remnants of the former dynasty in the Western Desert were admonished for rebellion, and the king of the desert lost a lot of manpower and material resources to suppress the rebels and purge the Qing Dynasty and the opposition. Xiu Yi said, "Your brother is talented and full of strategy, since you don't need to run for him, why can't you marry me with peace of mind?" ”

"If war breaks out, who will stay out of it?" Lime shook her head, "Jinnan is not immune to war. ”

What Lime said, he couldn't deny it, he sighed lightly, squeezed her hand and said, "When the dust settles, you and I will get married." ”

Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep.

The fireworks that night were so brilliant that they dazzled her eyes and obscured the deep calculations that he had hidden in his eyes.
