Chapter 62: The Heart
Su Rin walked to the willow forest. This time he didn't look left and right like the last time, but waited quietly. Sure enough, the mysterious man appeared behind him silently like the last time.
The mysterious man looked at Su Rin with a faint gaze: "How is it, have you thought about it?" β
Su Rin was still looking at him vigilantly as he had last time, but this time he didn't hold the hilt of his sword.
"How do I know if you're worth trusting?" Su Rin's eyes were sharp.
The mysterious man seemed to know that Su Rin would ask this question. He pulled something out of his bosom and handed it to him.
"Do you recognize this?" The mysterious man's tone was light.
Su Rin took the thing handed over by the mysterious man, it was heavy, and it looked like a token.
By the moonlight, Su Rinzai looked carefully. Then he raised his head and glanced at the mysterious man suspiciously. He flipped the token over and looked at it carefully.
Suddenly, Su Rin's face changed greatly, and he raised his head suddenly: "You are the old man of the Wangfu!" β
The mysterious man smiled faintly: "I'm not sure, I didn't expect you to recognize it." β
Su Rin's gaze became a little bleak: "Because Xiaomen has such a token, I saw it when I was a child." It is exactly the same as this token, the front is engraved with the word Xun, and the back is still engraved with the name of the emperor. The only difference was that there was blood on that token, a blood stain that had long since dried up. β
Su Rin raised his head, looked at the mysterious man, and continued: "In the battle for the heir, the prince was defeated. The emperor ascended the throne, who would have thought ......"
The mysterious man continued with Su Rin's words: "As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he decided to get rid of the prince Xun to prevent future troubles. That night, the blood of the prince was flowing like a river, up to the old man in his eighties, down to the baby who was less than a month old. Whether it is the master or the subordinate, no one is spared. Old Man Qi, the master of Xiaomen, got the news and rushed over with people, hoping to save some people. However, the emperor was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he started early. When Old Man Qi arrived, the Xunwang Mansion was already full of blood, not to mention people, even the parrots he raised were dead. β
The mysterious man sounded calm when he said this.
"Who the hell are you?" Su Rin vaguely felt that the other party was not an ordinary person.
The mysterious man was silent for a moment and said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. In fact, back then, looking for the prince, he knew that he was about to be destroyed. Because someone heard the wind and came to tell him. But the prince did not escape, he entrusted his only son, who was not yet a full moon, to that man. After that, the prince couldn't bear it and didn't want the eldest to accompany his family to the funeral, so he sent away a few young concubines and some subordinates. This matter was known to the emperor, so he took action in advance. β
What happened in Xunwangfu back then was told to Su Rin by Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although Su Rin didn't see it with her own eyes, she felt inhumane just by listening to her mother's description. He still remembers the helplessness in his mother's words and the tears on his face at that time.
"But I heard that the daughters of the prince and the little prince who has not yet reached the full moon were indeed ......" The killing word, Su Rin suddenly couldn't speak.
"He was raised by that kind man, his adoptive father, and his adoptive mother. Now, the prince is back, with the token of the old prince, back to avenge his father and mother, and avenge hundreds of unjust souls up and down the palace! β
The mysterious man's tone changed, becoming agitated and hateful. His eyes also changed, and became full of murderous energy.
Su Rin looked at the token in his hand and handed him back to the mysterious man.
"You're the son?" Su Rin couldn't believe it.
"Yes, the sky has eyes, and I shouldn't die! I'm going to kill them and avenge the entire Xunwang Mansion!" The mysterious man's voice suppressed hatred.
Su Rin didn't speak again.
After a long time, the mysterious man finally calmed down the anger in his heart, and he regained his calm just now.
"Su Rin, how did you think about the deal I said?"
Su Rin sighed and said, "I didn't expect things to be like this. β
The mysterious man suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Su Rin on the shoulder: "I know that you can't accept it when I suddenly tell you this." But believe me, the token is proof, and I'm not lying half-heartedly. β
Su Rin hesitated for a moment and said, "Give me some more time." β
The mysterious man nodded and said, "Okay, three days later, it's still this hour, I'll wait for your reply." β
After saying that, he patted Su Rin on the shoulder again, then put away the token and turned to leave.
Su Rin looked at the back of him leaving, and stood in place in a daze.
His words don't look fake, and the token doesn't look fake. The token is mottled and old, and it does look like it was twenty years ago.
After being stunned for a while, Su Rin rushed back to the Chu Palace.
Walking into the small courtyard, it was dark inside. Su Rin opened the door and walked in. Closing the door, I heard Mrs. Liu's angry voice behind me.
"It's so late, where have you been?"
As he spoke, a bright light appeared in the room. Mrs. Liu turned on the fire fold and lit the candle on the table.
Su Rin turned around, and Mrs. Liu looked at him with a serious face.
Su Rin pretended to be casual, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "I can't sleep, go out for a walk." β
"Don't let me find out that you went out to drink flower wine, or I won't be able to spare you!" Mrs. Liu slapped Su Rin on the back of the head.
"It hurts!" Su Rin hurriedly covered the back of her head to prevent her from making up for another slap.
"Mother, you're confused! Do you smell alcohol in my mouth? Su Rin opened her mouth wide.
Mrs. Liu frowned, came to Su Rin's shoulder, and said, "It seems that I haven't drunk alcohol, and I don't have a messy smell of rouge powder." It's so late, hurry up and go to sleep! β
"Okay, then I'll go to sleep. Mother, you should rest early. Su Rin quickly stood up, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped into the bedroom.
It seemed that there was no suspicion, and Su Rin breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Liu's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. Su Rin came back from outside in the middle of the night, and there was no smell of alcohol on his body, which made something wrong.
Muwang's Mansion, Langyue Pavilion.
With a "bang", the teacup fell to the ground.
The maids were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.
In front of Yun Muqing, the maid named Douqiao knelt on the ground, and she didn't dare to come out, because she was afraid that her whole body was trembling.
"Do you want to burn this king?" Yun Muqing raised his leg and kicked Dou Qiao's shoulder.
Dou Qiao's kicked person turned on her back, she didn't care about the pain, and even rolled and crawled down in front of Yun Muqing again.
"Come on, throw her into the dungeon and deal with her to this king!" Yun Muqing shouted loudly.
Dou Qiao's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't have time to beg for mercy, so he fainted all of a sudden.
The so-called throwing it into the dungeon is to be abused by an unknown number of men, and then killed. In fact, I basically can't wait to be killed, and most of them are tortured to death when they are humiliated.
"Slow", Gu Jingyue walked in, she saluted, "The prince is angry, the concubine has something to say." β
Yun Muqing looked up and saw Gu Jingyue wearing a purple and gorgeous dress, which matched the makeup on her face just right. He hesitated, but waved his hand impatiently, motioning for Gu Jingyue to continue.
"Go down, all of you. Late peach, this bean qiao was carried to Qingfeng Yuan first. Ordered people to look at her, and when she woke up, she was not allowed to talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense, ...... immediately" Gu Jingyue's words were a little harsh, and although the last words were not spoken, Wan Tao understood what he meant.
There was a maid who was frightened crazy before, scolded Yun Muqing, and was killed by Feilian with a sword.
In the past few years, the maids of Langyue Pavilion have changed batch after batch. Dead and crazy, I don't know how many lives have been lost.
The maids seemed to see it, and they crawled and fled, as if they had to retreat. Douqiao was also carried out.
"Lord Wang, husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest. The concubine knew that the prince was upset. The concubine did not ask the prince to tell her what was on her mind. However, the concubine wanted the prince to know that no matter what happened, no matter who the opponent was. The concubines will all stand on the side of the prince. β
Gu Jingyue's words sounded very firm.
Yun Muqing looked at her and found that her eyes were sharp, revealing a determined gaze. There is no former softness and gentleness, and there is no trace of pretentiousness. Today's Gu Jingyue is like a completely different person. She was gorgeously dressed, and her whole person exuded a powerful aura that could not be explained.
"If this king is destined to be in a different place in the future, will you still say this thing so firmly?" Yun Muqing looked at Gu Jingyue, and the anger in her heart had cooled down a lot.
Gu Jingyue said without hesitation: "No matter what happens in the future, the concubine will not change her original intention!" β
"Come, sit." Yun Muqing stretched out her hand.
Gu Jingyue took Yun Muqing's hand, walked over to him and sat down.
"Princess, tell this king, what do you want most?" Yun Muqing asked.
Gu Jingyue smiled, looked at Yun Muqing, and said, "What the concubine wants most is that the prince ascends the throne, the concubine's mother is the world, and our son will enter the East Palace in the future." β
Such a rebellious word was said by Gu Jingyue. Yun Muqing was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed her hand tightly.
"You are not the only woman by this king's side. But only you dare to say what you think in your heart! Yun Muqing not only did not mean to blame, but was a little excited.
Gu Jingyue stretched out her hand and touched Yun Muqing's cheek: "If the prince has something to worry about, why don't you tell the concubine." The concubine hopes to share the prince's worries. β
"You've changed." Yun Muqing said.
Gu Jingyue withdrew her hand, sighed, and said, "Perhaps, the concubine was originally like this. It's just that for so many years, the concubines haven't found their true selves and haven't seen their true hearts clearly. In the past, the concubines thought that as wives, they should be gentle and virtuous, and do their best to take care of the prince's food and clothing. Even if you are wronged by other women, you can't cause a little trouble to your husband. β
Gu Jingyue smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "However, in fact, the concubine has caused a lot of trouble to the prince. Because you can't share the worries of the prince, it's not the concubine's. What the prince wants is not a wife who can only change clothes for himself, but a princess who can advance and retreat with the prince, isn't it? β
