Chapter 284: Reappearance
Chen Danzhu knew that he couldn't hide it.
After getting along for so long, whether you like it or not, how can Zhou Xuan not see it.
Since he didn't like him, but forced him to swear not to marry anyone, there must be a problem.
Zhou Xuan reached out and grabbed her back, preventing her from retreating again, staring at her.
"Chen Danzhu." He said, "You answer me." β
Chen Danzhu lowered his eyes: "I just know that you and Princess Jin Yao are not suitable." β
Zhou Xuan didn't sneer and sneer like before, his expression was calm and serious: "I, Zhou Xuan, was born in a famous family, my father is famous all over the world, I am young and promising, Princess Jin Yao is as beautiful as a flower, dignified and generous, and is the emperor's favorite daughter, I grew up with the princess since childhood, the two of us are married, and everyone in the world praises it as a good match, why do you think it's not appropriate?" β
Chen Danzhu muttered: "Or, maybe I still like you, so let's snatch love." β
This is what Zhou Xuan has been asking her to say, but at this time, Chen Danzhu finally said it, but Zhou Xuan did not smile on his face, but there was some pain in his eyes: "Chen Danzhu, do you think that telling the truth is more terrible than making me like you?" β
It's a little, Chen Danzhu lowered her eyes, she knew that Zhou Xuan was so secret, if she said it, Zhou Xuan would kill her and kill her, and she was even more afraid that the emperor would also kill her.
"I'm not afraid of death." She whispered, "I can't die yet. β
The hand pressing on her back shook slightly, bringing her closer, and Zhou Xuan's voice was in his ear: "How do you know?" Did you know? β
His voice was also trembling, and there was a bloody aura, as if he had bitten the tip of his tongue, but it did not have the murderous aura that Chen Danzhu feared most.
He just hurts.
Chen Danzhu raised his eyes to look at him, and the black eyes of the young man who were almost in front of him had anger and grief in his eyes, but there was no evil spirit.
Chen Danzhu stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist: "Let's sit down and talk." Her voice was soft, as if to persuade her.
Zhou Xuanjiang withdrew the hand behind her and broke away from Chen Danzhu's hand: "The injury on my body is not healed yet, how can I sit?" Chen Danzhu, are you uneasy all the time? β
Chen Danzhu smiled: "I forgot." She pointed indoors, "I have an arhat bed in my room, you can lie down." "Take a step forward.
Zhou Xuan followed slowly.
Watching the two of them enter the room one after the other, the trees on the roof Qingfeng and the bamboo forest also put away the previous stagnation.
Although they didn't hear what they said clearly because the two were very close, and their movements were not tense, Qingfeng and Zhulin felt danger at a certain moment, which made both of their bodies tense.
"Young people are like that." Qingfeng moved his body and smiled at the bamboo forest on the tree, "It's like a cat, it blows up at every turn, and it's fine again in a blink of an eye, you see, how harmonious it is together." β
Zhu Lin looked at the room, the doors and windows were wide open, and Zhou Xuan could be seen lying on the Luohan bed, Chen Danzhu was sitting next to him with a cup of tea, and seemed to ask him if he drank again-
Who knows what these young people are thinking!
Zhou Xuan didn't drink tea, and stared at her with his arms on his pillow: "You really know my father-"
Chen Danzhu booed him.
Zhou Xuan stopped talking, but Chen Danzhu's action had already been answered, Zhou Xuan's arms tightened, and his hands were clenched.
"I don't know." Chen Danzhu hurriedly said, in fact, she really didn't know, her expression was a little helpless, after all, in the previous life, she still knew it from his mouth, and it was still a drunken sentence, what the truth was, she really didn't know.
"My father said that King Wu never wanted to assassinate your father." She casually made up the reason, "Even if the other two have the intention to do this, it will definitely not work, because the princes and kings at this time are no longer the ones before, and even if they can enter the imperial city, it will be difficult to assassinate them at close range, but your father is still dead, I guess, maybe there are other reasons." β
Her explanation is not very reasonable, there must be something to hide, but Zhou Xuan doesn't want to force her, she is willing to open half of her heart to her now, and he is already very content.
"Your father is right or not." Zhou Xuan said in a low voice, "King Wu didn't think about assassinating my father, the other princes and kings thought about it, andββ"
He smiled lowly as he said this.
"They didn't want to assassinate my father, they were directly assassinating the emperor."
Chen Danzhu was a little surprised and asked, "How do you know?" β
"Because I saw it with my own eyes." Zhou Xuan whispered, his eyes a little distant, "When the emperor was assassinated, I was next door. β
Chen Danzhu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, only in this way could he suppress his exclamation, he actually saw it with his own eyes, so he knew the truth from the beginning.
The spring day was fresh and warm indoors, but Chen Danzhu felt that the snow was white and cold in front of him, as if he had returned to the snow of that life, looking at the drunk man lying on the ground with a confused expression.
He had only uttered a single sentence in that life, and she had interrupted him by gagging her mouth in the snow, and in this life she sat beside him and listened to him tell him about this terrible secret.
Zhou Xuan looked at his arm, the black gold-pierced shirt, solemn and gorgeous, like a window in the imperial city of Xijing.
It was snowing heavily that day, and the princes in the school house were even more uninterested in studying, and there was a lot of noise, so he was impatient to fight with them, and told Mr. that he was going to the library pavilion, and Mr. was very relieved that he was reading, and waved him away.
But when walking on the road, I thought that the library was very cold, as the youngest son of the family, although he worked very hard in reading, but in the end he was a pampered noble son, so I thought that my father had a special study given by the emperor in the outer hall, and there was a small warm pavilion behind the bookshelf in the study, which was hidden and warm, and he could get it casually if he wanted to read books.
At this time, his father must have been discussing matters with the emperor, so he happily turned here, and in order to prevent the eunuchs guarding here from complaining to his father, he climbed in through the small window behind the study.
Hey, he's not actually a person who likes to read very much, and often skips school in this way, but he's smart, he learns fast, he can learn everything as soon as he learns, and his eldest brother wants to punish him, and his father will protect him with a smile, saying that he will learn when he wants to study seriously.
He climbed into his father's study, and did not read well, the warm pavilion was too warm, and he read for a while and then fell asleep on the table.
He was awakened by his father's laughter.
Through the gap in the bookshelf, I could see my father and the emperor walking in, the emperor's face was very ugly, my father smiled, and reached out and patted the emperor's shoulder, "Don't worry, if Your Majesty is really so scrupling, there will be a way." β
The emperor's sorrow did not ease.
Recently, things have not been going well in the court, and there are more and more people in the court who oppose the Cheng'en Order, and the high-ranking officials and magnates are living very comfortably, and the princes and kings do not threaten them, but the princes and kings often give them gifts - some officials stand on the side of the princes and kings, and stop it from the ethics of the ancestors' will.
The father advised the emperor not to be in a hurry, but the emperor was in a hurry, and there was some dispute between the two.
He knew all this, so he knew that skipping school at this time could not be discovered by his father and the emperor, otherwise the anger of both of them would be vented on his head, and he might be beaten.
He held his breath and remained motionless, watching the emperor sit down, watching his father rummage around and take out a book, watching a eunuch walk towards the emperor with his head down with tea, andβ
The father's figure flickered, and he shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!" Then the sound of a teacup shattering was heard.
He saw through the gap in the bookshelf that his father had fallen on top of the emperor, and the eunuch had a knife in his hand, and the knife was stuck in front of his father, but fortunately it was blocked by the piece that his father was holding, and it did not go too deep.
The emperor is not a weak person, he has been practicing martial arts in order to strengthen his body, and his reaction is also very fast, and when his father fell on him, he kicked the eunuch away.
Eunuch Jinzhong also pounced in at the same time, this eunuch was not old and weak, his body was flexible like a rabbit, jumped on the assassin eunuch, and wiped the dust on the eunuch's neck-
"Don't be alarmed!" The father shouted, "Keep your mouth alive!" β
But it was still too late, the eunuch's head had been wiped off by the eunuch Jinzhong, and they were the ones who guarded the emperor and had only one purpose for the assassin, to kill.
But the eunuch Jinzhong still listened to the previous sentence and did not shout that an assassin had attracted people.
All this happened in an instant, he hid behind the bookshelf, covered his mouth with his hands, watched the emperor help his father, the two got up from the chair, he saw the knife inserted in his father's chest, his father's hand held the blade, blood gushed out, I don't know if it was a hand wound or a heart-
The emperor also held the hilt of the sword, and he held his father, whose head hung over his shoulder.
"Calling the Imperial Doctorβ" the Emperor shouted, his voice ready to cry.
This call also woke him up, and he was about to rush out, he was not afraid of his father punishing him at this time, he really hoped that his father would beat him with his own hands.
But the next moment, he saw the emperor's hand sent forward, and the knife that had not been submerged in his father's heart was sent into his father's heart.
His voice, his movements, his whole being, all disappeared in that moment.
