Chapter 52: Escape
In a trance, Jian Xiaozhu only heard Murong Yi's voice coming from far and near. However, the guard holding the wooden board next to him only paused slightly, and then hit the wooden board towards Jian Xiaozhu's body faster, without the slightest intention of stopping.
I didn't expect that the last person I saw would be Murong Yi, and for a while, Jian Xiaozhu was a little emotional. However, it is better to see acquaintances before you die than to be killed here alone.
Jian Xiaozhu closed her eyes, however, the plank did not hit her back. Jian Xiaozhu only heard a muffled sound, and then, with a "bang", the heavy wooden board fell to the ground. When Jian Xiaozhu opened his eyes, he saw the guard clutching his wrist in pain, and at his feet, a short sword that was still in its sheath fell.
Jian Xiaozhu understood that at the critical moment, it was Murong Yi who directly threw out his sword and knocked the wooden board in the guard's hand to the ground. Looking at Murong Yi's approaching figure, Jian Xiaozhu only felt a sense of peace of mind that he had never felt before, and gradually closed his eyes.
In his ears, he could still hear Murong Yiman's worried voice: "Little bamboo, are you okay?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu wanted to tell him that he wasn't dead yet, but he didn't expect that it would be difficult to even speak. This made Jian Xiaozhu only snort, indicating that he was still alive.
Murong Yi stepped forward and reached out to gently touch Jian Xiaozhu's back. Although he couldn't see anything outside his clothes, when Murong Yi's hand touched Jian Xiaozhu's back, he suddenly trembled, and he who had always been good-tempered looked at the execution guard with anger in his eyes: "I said, let you stop." ”
But there was no fear in the guard's tone, but he said coldly: "The subordinates are just under the orders of the Empress Dowager, and they dare not disobey." Lord, if it's okay, please leave, I have to continue to finish the rest of the board. ”
"Done?" Murong Yi gritted his teeth, the anger in his eyes was even worse, and he said angrily: "When you finish fighting, she will die!" ”
After that, Murong Yi stepped forward and wanted to pick Jian Xiaozhu up from the bench. This made the guards stop Murong Yi: "King Ning, this is the order of the Empress Dowager, please don't disobey her will." ”
But Murong Yi just said coldly: "Get out." ”
The guards continued to block: "This is the order of the Empress Dowager, no one can take her away before the execution of the Ten Great Boards is over." ”
Murong Yi sneered: "Then let me tell you, the Empress Dowager has pardoned her, and I also came with the Empress Dowager's instructions." ”
The guard hesitated: "This ......"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Imperial Grandmother. However, this palace maid is a celebrity next to the concubine. If you insist on blocking it and kill someone, can you bear the consequences? ”
Finally, the guard sideways out of the way. Murong Yi gently picked up Jian Xiaozhu. In an instant, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that she had fallen into a very warm embrace, but Murong Yi's hand on her back made her feel painful.
"Hurt ......"
Jian Xiaozhu spit out a word indistinctly, but fortunately, Murong Yi heard her words clearly, so he put her back on the wooden board and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through for a while." ”
After that, Murong Yi put Jian Xiaozhu back on the bench and said to the guards outside the door, "You two people will help carry her back to the Condensing Frost Palace." ”
"Yes!"
Lying on the bench on the way back to the Condensing Frost Palace, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that everything in front of him was shaking, and there was a feeling of swaying on the swing. On the side, Murong Yi's voice came from time to time: "I have already called the imperial doctor to wait in the Condensing Frost Palace, Xiaozhuzi, you will definitely be fine." ”
Listening to Murong Yi's voice, Jian Xiaozhu wanted to squeeze out a smile at her. It's just that it backfired, her heart suddenly soured, and her eyes gradually moistened. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, which surprised Murong Yi: "Little bamboo, why are you crying?" Don't cry, it's going to be fine, it's going to be fine......"
The sun above her head was very bright, and Jian Xiaozhu only felt that her back was becoming warm under the sunlight. This made her fall asleep.
When he woke up, Jian Xiaozhu found himself lying on the bed in the room of the Frost Palace, his back was cold, and he seemed to be drugged.
Qiulan sat on the bed board that once belonged to Jasper, taking care of Jian Xiaozhu. Seeing her open her eyes, Qiulan ran out with a happy face and shouted: "Guifei Niangniang, Yunzhu has woken up." ”
Soon, Bai Ningshuang walked into the house where Jian Xiaozhu lived. Seeing Jian Xiaozhu wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qiulan, "You go out to decoct her medicine first." ”
"Yes, sissy."
After Qiulan left, Bai Ningshuang stepped forward and asked Jian Xiaozhu, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Although the back of the ointment was cold, Jian Xiaozhu could still feel some pain, so he said, "It hurts, but it's not particularly painful." ”
Bai Ningshuang sighed, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "I heard that the Internal Affairs Office temporarily changed guards to execute you, it seems that the Empress Dowager is determined to get rid of all the people around me." ”
remembered that Murong Yi said to the guard that he was going to save her with the instructions of the Empress Dowager. This made Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel worried about Murong Yi, but fortunately, Bai Ningshuang continued: "But fortunately, King Ning happened to enter the palace today to find the emperor, and when he learned that you were dragged to be executed, he immediately went to the empress dowager to intercede." ”
Knowing that Murong Yi's process was in line with the norms, Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief. However, Bai Ningshuang's eyes when she looked at her became complicated: "Yunzhu, King Ning is so attentive to you, and even went to intercede with the Empress Dowager for you, which made the Empress Dowager displeased. ...... between you"
Bai Ningshuang paused, and then changed her words: "Yunzhu, between King Ning and Ayan, if you had to make a choice, who would you choose?" ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Ningshuang would ask such a question, Jian Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, and her mind instantly made up the picture of Murong Yi and Zhu Yan standing in front of her. Both of them are men with outstanding appearances, one is handsome and the other is handsome. In terms of identity, Murong Yi is the prince of Dongyuan Kingdom, and Zhu Yan is the emperor's brother-in-law, both of whom are relatives of the emperor and have noble status. But if you have to choose one......
Looking at the sunlight seeping into the room from the window, Jian Xiaozhu only felt a warmth in his heart. So she said to Bai Ningshuang: "Niangniang, King Ning and my second brother have a very good relationship, and they are also friends of life and death on the battlefield. Before coming to the palace, he promised my second brother that he would take good care of me. So, there was nothing between me and him. ”
Bai Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile in her eyes, and said, "It seems that you still think that our Ayan is better." ”
Jian Xiaozhu complained in her heart, Murong Yi is impossible, and Zhu Yan is even more impossible.
However, in order not to make Bai Ningshuang unhappy, Jian Xiaozhu didn't plan to explain to Bai Ningshuang. Anyway, just wait for Zhu Yan to come back and make it clear to Bai Ningshuang. After all, Zhu Yan would not accept the object that Bai Ningshuang unilaterally arranged for him.
