Gu Jingyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her gaze suddenly became fierce: "Yun Muqing, don't you know, my father is about to be promoted to Shang Shuling." In a short time, I will change from a third-rank princess to a first-rank princess. ”

Listening to Gu Jingyue's words, Yun Muqing looked at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but let go of her hand.

Shang Shuling's position is indeed vacant, and the candidate has not been decided. The emperor did not reveal this matter to Yun Muqing. So how did Gu Jingyue know?

What if it's true? Yun Muqing felt that it was better to be careful. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Now is the time to find out if this news is true.

"From now on, without the king's order, you are not allowed to step out of Qingfeng Yuan! As for the one who has been away for a long time, cut off your assistance, and let her fend for herself! After speaking, Yun Muqing dropped his arm and left without looking back.

Gu Jingyue smiled self-deprecatingly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Tao hurriedly helped Gu Jingyue up.

"Wan Tao, Princess Chu, I'm a little worried." Gu Jingyue whispered.

Wan Tao shook her head helplessly: "The slave regrets dying, this idle matter really can't be managed!" ”

Gu Jingyue turned her head and glared at Wan Tao: "What nonsense." Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

Yun Muqing walked out of Qingfeng Garden, and Fei Lian hurriedly followed. The door at the back was slammed shut, followed by the sound of it locking.

Fei Lian's voice came from behind him: "Is the prince going to let go of a long time?" ”

Yun Muqing stopped: "With her appearance, the Chu Wangfu will definitely not be able to go back." Let her fend for herself. ”

After speaking, Yun Muqing left.

Wan Tao helped Gu Jingyue into the bedroom. She took out a towel to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"You get out." Gu Jingyue took the towel in Wan Tao's hand expressionlessly and said lightly.

Wan Tao was helpless in her heart, knowing that she couldn't comfort Gu Jingyue. I had to bow and retreat.

Gu Jingyue was only one month left in the huge bedroom, and she walked to the dresser and sat down, looking at herself in the mirror. She has seen this situation many times in the mirror in the past few years. But the tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

I don't know what to fall asleep with. When Gu Jingyue opened her eyes, the sky was already bright. She was lying on the dresser, her arms sore and numb. The tears on his face have long since dried.

Gu Jingyue moved her arm, and then looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks slightly red and swollen.

"Late peach." Gu Jingyue shouted.

Not long after, Wan Tao hurriedly walked in.

"Is it locked?" Gu Jingyue asked.

Wan Tao nodded: "As before, the maids have also been called away." ”

Gu Jingyue smiled coldly: "It's like this every time." Truly I am a lamb to the slaughter! ”

Wan Tao walked over, knelt under Gu Jingyue's knees, took her hand, and said, "Niangniang loves the prince deeply, but the prince has no affection for Niangniang at all. The mother is too kind and too gentle. Niangniang, you look at the harem throughout the ages, which one has the last laugh with kindness? ”

Gu Jingyue stretched out her right hand and touched Wan Tao's face, looking at her dark circles: "You haven't slept all night." You are the only one who dares to say these things to me. ”

Wan Tao raised her head, looked at Gu Jingyue, and said sadly: "The slave maid beats the little and serves the mother." In this Mu Wangfu, Niangniang is the only master of the slave. The prince is not good to Niangniang, and those villains don't take Niangniang in their eyes. Mother, I can't go on like this. ”

Gu Jingyue put down her hand, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: "You're right, Yun Muqing doesn't look down on me." Even if my father became prime minister, he would not be half sincere to me. But he's my husband. I can't live my whole life like this. ”

Gu Jingyue turned her head to look at herself in the mirror, she touched her red and swollen cheeks, and her eyes showed unprecedented perseverance: "Wan Tao, you go and boil a few eggs for me." Also, cook a bowl of red dates and white fungus porridge. ”

"Yes, sis!" Wan Tao immediately stood up and hurriedly walked out.

"What kindness you want, what softness you want. Yun Muqing, I will let you see a completely different me. And those who dare to show the dignified princess's face, I will not let go of any of them! ”

Twenty days later.

Li Jiujiu sat in front of the window and listened to the north wind howling outside all day.

The charcoal fire in the house has been broken for two days, and no one has brought it.

There was an empty plate on the table, and there was not a single oil star in the soup. On top was half of the leftover steamed buns, dry and hard.

It's been thirty-five days since the last time Peach came. At first, it was okay, and the food and medicine were provided on time.

In the past few days, the proprietress has been much colder. The meals became very perfunctory, as did the medicine.

I guessed for a long time, it should have something to do with the late peach not coming for a long time. But Wan Tao once said that the silver taels given to the proprietress were enough for her to live here for more than half a year.

The wind outside is getting lighter. When I opened the window, I felt a chill. It's snowing.

In the dim evening, the snowflakes are drifting. Lijiujiu stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake. The snowflakes melt instantly.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and they stopped at the door, and then a woman's voice came: "Girl, dinner is coming." ”

"Come in." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look.

The door opened, and a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in with her head bowed. She quickly put down her food and chopsticks and left in a hurry.

Lijiujiu turned his head and looked out the window again.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and soon it was like goose feathers. After a long time, the window was closed. These days, she has a doubt in her mind. Why didn't the poison in my body attack?

I can't figure it out for a long time.

Looking at the food on the table, I really didn't have an appetite for a long time. But I was really hungry, so I ate it. She didn't have the mood and energy to reason with the proprietress about anything.

After eating a full meal, I looked at the dim candlelight for a long time, and my heart became more and more nervous. She quickly lay down, but did not dare to close her eyes.

For a long time, the night is an ordeal. She was wrapped in a quilt, her eyes showing fear.

Time passed minute by minute, and I felt sleepy for a long time. She had just closed her eyes when she heard footsteps outside.

Away from being sleepy for a long time, she pricked up her ears and listened to the movement outside. Footsteps stopped at the doorway, and it sounded like there were at least three people.

Li Jiujiu immediately sat up and looked at the door vigilantly.

The voice of the proprietress came from outside: "Girl, it's me." Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, I'll send you some charcoal, and other things. ”

Hearing the voice of the proprietress, he breathed a sigh of relief from Jiujiu. She hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. ”

Lijiujiu got out of bed and opened the door. The first thing she saw was not the proprietress at first sight, but a strong man.

Li Jiujiu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but before he could react, he was covered by the strong man with a towel.

Lijiujiu struggled, angrily looking at the proprietress standing behind.

The proprietress looked at Li Jiujiu with disgusted eyes and pouted: "That girl hasn't been here for more than a month." The old lady doesn't have the money to support you as an ugly bastard who eats idle meals! ”

The towel was smedicated, and he quickly lost consciousness.

The proprietress looked coldly at the fainting Lijiu: "Put it in a sack and throw it into the broken temple." ”

One of the strong men asked: "What if people come to look for people, but we have received a lot of money from people and can live for half a year!" ”

"In my opinion, it's been more than a month, and if you want to come, you'll be here a long time ago. Besides, even if that girl really came to look for someone, let's say she left by herself. She has good two legs, and she is not wasted, how can I stop it! ”

Hearing what the proprietress said, the two strong men stuffed Lijiujiu into the sack, and then just went out and walked out of the Tongda Inn through the back door.

At this time, the snow was still falling, and the snow on the ground was already very thick. The two of them carried away for a long time, walking on the snow, creaking.

"Brother, it's so far, throw it here! If you meet the officers and soldiers, it will be miserable! ”

"Just throw it here! Anyway, this girl is dead! It's a cold day! ”

After saying that, the two threw the sack to the side of the road and ran away.

At this time, the proprietress was sitting in her room, burning charcoal fires and counting the silver.

On the table were the silver and jewelry that Evening Peach had given her. The proprietress had a twinkle in her eyes, and she couldn't put it down and touched this and that. She didn't care about life or death for a long time.

The door was open, and Yun Chuhan stood at the door, watching the heavy snow fall on his hair, face, and clothes from time to time.

Yan Che took a cloak and put it on Yun Chuhan: "Wang Ye, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, beware of the cold." ”

Yun Chuhan frowned: "This king is panicking today, he has a bad premonition, and he always feels that something is going to happen." ”

"The prince has been too tired lately......"

Before Yan Che's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Yun Chuhan: "No, this king feels even more panicked." ”

After speaking, Yun Chuhan pulled his legs and walked out.

"Lord Wang!" Yan Che hurriedly followed.

"This king goes out for a walk!" Yun Chuhan said.

Yun Chuhan and Yan Che rode out of the door. Because it was snowing, the horses walked more slowly.

Yun Chuhan didn't know where to go, so he had to ride his horse aimlessly.

Walk through the roads and turn the alleys. In a remote place, Yun Chuhan saw a black thing on the side of the road in front of him, which seemed to be moving.

Yan Che also saw it: "Lord Wang, go and take a look." ”

Lying in the sack, Lijiujiu was about to freeze. When she woke up, it was dark. She struggled to get out, but the sack was tied to death.

The more he struggled for a long time, the more desperate he became, and four words appeared in his heart, careless about human life. She could have driven herself away, but throwing herself in the snow like this, wouldn't it cost her her life!

In desperation, she heard movement for a long time, as if someone was coming, she gritted her teeth, twisted her body that was about to freeze, opened her mouth, and said weakly: "Help." ”

Yan Che was shocked, he heard the voice that had been away for a long time.

"Lord Wang, it seems to be the princess!" After saying that, Yan Che jumped off the horse and went to untie the sack.

When Yun Chuhan heard this, he was surprised and delighted. He immediately jumped off his horse and ran over.
