Chapter Twenty-Nine: It Turns Out She's Just a Pawn
On the second day, which was also the last day of hunting, Mo Xiao got up early in the morning, "Let's go, let's go and take a look at Yuelin Mountain." ”
Su Nianqing was grooming, "Jumping into the mountain? But ...... "Leaping Mountain" is far from here.
"You'll find out when you go."
Mo Xiao looked like he knew everything, Su Nianqing was a little surprised, but he still went with him.
Chu Shen is also among them, it is always a little strange for him to look at Su Nianqing today, maybe Su Nianqing was wrong, she saw a trace of pity in Chu Shen's eyes.
Chu Shen held a folding fan behind his back in one hand, a folding fan in the other, his white robe was clean and tidy, he had always been so free and easy, "Little wild cat, I heard that you found out about this?" ”
"Uh......" Su Nianqing didn't know what he was referring to, and he didn't know how to promise him, today's Chu Shen and her raised the bar, a little strange.
Mo Xiao, who had been walking in front, looked back at Chu Shen, "You can call her Su Nianqing or the princess." "The little wildcat is too affectionate, and he doesn't like it.
Chu Shen pointed at Mo Xiao with a fan and glanced at him disdainfully, "The nominal princess is just a princess, and sooner or later she will have to reconcile and separate." Besides, my Chu Gongzi is not interested in her appearance. ”
Su Nianqing raised her eyes, Chu Shen was still walking naturally in front of her, and her feet made a "swishing" sound because of stepping on the leaves. He said it so naturally, he must have known everything, Mo Xiao had made up his mind to reconcile with her early on, and she was still trading with him, was she self-inflicted?
The three of them didn't say anything more, and walked all the way, the autumn weather was always so good, mild, and the sun was just right.
After walking for an hour, I arrived at the north of the hunting ground, facing the cliff in the north, and the opposite side of the cliff was the place where Su Nianqing was chased and killed by the five princes that day.
Su Nianqing stood on the edge of the cliff and took a look, the bottom was not visible, a stone was stepped on under his feet, the stone rolled down, and disappeared, Su Nianqing's legs were weak, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, if he fell, I am afraid that the bones would not remain!
Chu Shen looked at Su Nianqing with a playful expression, "Are you afraid?" ”
Su Nianqing glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Chu Shen pretended to be high and shook his head, "Don't be afraid, I dare to jump, do you believe it?" ”
Su Nianqing shook his head, "If you jump down, there will definitely be no bones left, and I won't collect the body for you." ”
Chu Shen closed the folding fan and tidied up his clothes, "You can take a good look." As he spoke, he leaped forward.
"Don't!" Su Nianqing hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull, but he didn't pull it, Su Nianqing followed to the edge of the cliff with a pale face.
However, Chu Shen hung in the middle and did not fall.
"This ......"
Mo Xiao walked over and squatted down, "Look." ”
Looking in the direction of Mo Xiao's finger, Su Nianqing only saw Chu Shen's legs, but the legs were blocked by fog.
Su Nianqing frowned, "This is?" ”
"It's a bridge, a bridge that connects the mountains."
"Bridge?"
But no matter how Su Nianqing looked, he couldn't see the bridge below, only the clouds and mist.
Chu Shen jumped in front of Su Nianqing, "Because of the fog, the bridge is so well hidden, with this bridge, guess how long it will take to get from the mountain to the hunting ground?" ”
Su Nianqing looked around, "A stick of incense." ”
"They killed someone, and even if the crime happens, they can quickly escape through this bridge."
A word woke up the person in the dream, and Su Nianqing understood, "The plan of the five princes is really seamless. ”
Mo Xiao shook his head, "Not only the five princes, but also the crown prince, they want to conspire to seize the Praetorian Guards in the hands of this king." ”
In her previous life, Su Nianqing did not participate in the autumn hunt, so she didn't know, she only knew that Mo Rong broke her leg and Mo Xiao was robbed of the power of the Praetorian Guard.
But now how could he tell himself this?
Chu Shen shook his fan and said slowly: "It's a shame that the prince's party didn't pay attention to this side yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't have found this bridge." ”
Mo Xiao glanced at Su Nianqing with a somewhat flustered expression, but quickly lowered his eyes and looked away.
Su Nianqing didn't understand, yesterday? Prince? Yesterday the prince was busy framing himself, so ...... Did Mo Xiao do it on purpose? Deliberately using her as bait to make a noise?
Su Nianqing suddenly woke up, "Mo Xiao, did you do it on purpose yesterday?" You calculated early on that the prince would frame me? So ...... "So leave her in the palace so that the prince can take advantage of it?"
Mo Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Yuelin Mountain opposite.
Su Nianqing asked loudly, "Yes and no?" Mo Xiao! ”
No wonder Chu Shen looked at her with such pitiful eyes, no wonder Mo Xiao didn't get angry yesterday, it turned out that she was just a chess piece.
After a while, Mo Xiao gently opened his lips, "If you don't run away, how can the prince have a chance?" ”
These words put all the blame on Su Nianqing, does it mean that everything is caused by herself?
There was a familiar pain in her heart, in her past and present lives, Mo Xiao was her robbery, she couldn't escape, she couldn't hide. yes, they're just trading, she's just a pawn, what is she asking for?
The cool breeze is blowing, and even the warm sun of this afternoon can't warm the cold heart.
Su Nianqing felt that she understood her life better in this life than in her previous life, but she would rather not understand. She felt that she had let go of Mo Xiao, but when she knew that Mo Xiao had used her innocence to create opportunities for herself, her heart still hurt the same.
I don't know how to descend the mountain, but I know that every step is very difficult, and the path full of fallen leaves is as difficult as thorns.
Su Nianqing had no master, and when she heard the noise outside, she went out to see.
The emperor was assassinated, and the five princes stood by the emperor's side, with arrows in their shoulders.
The palace was in a panic.
"Catch the assassin!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
But after a while, the palace was surrounded and impassable, and the Praetorian Guards searched everywhere, and even Su Yanze came.
And there was no trace of Mo Xiao at all.
"Nian'er, where is King Yu?"
Su Yanze stopped her.
Su Nianqing didn't want to care about his, so he replied, "I don't know." ”
Su Yanze pulled her aside and whispered: "Nian'er, we are in the same boat as him, if he loses power today, he will be suppressed by the prince's party, and you will also be implicated." ”
Yes, if Mo Xiao loses power, he will be farther and farther away from his grand ambitions, so should she help him?
Su Nianqing turned around and took the sword, and ran north with Su Yanze.
Smoothly, the bridge was destroyed, the Assassins were caught in the urn, and the Su Yanze brothers and sisters, together with Mo Xiao, detained the Assassins.
The fifth prince still hadn't woken up, as if he was seriously injured.
Mo Xiao searched the assassin's body for the prince's token.
When Mo Xiao presented the prince's token with both hands, the emperor's face turned pale, and in an instant, he became angry, and slammed the token in front of the prince, "Son." ”
The prince naturally knelt on the ground and shouted grievances, but the human and material evidence were all there, the person was indeed what he was looking for, and the token was also given by him, how could he exonerate?
The matter is very clear, the five princes and the prince conspired to pull Mo Xiao off the horse, but the prince didn't know that the five princes still wanted to invite merit and plant it in their own hands, and the prince could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
It's just that I haven't understood why Chu Shen is here, Su Nianqing didn't ask, and Mo Xiao didn't say it.
When they went back, Su Nianqing and Mo Xiao rode in the same carriage and didn't say a word from beginning to end. Su Nianqing thought that she had let go, she thought that she had been reborn and practiced an iron body all over the world. However, when she knew everything, the pain struck again, and she was once again wounded.
