Chapter 056: Inspiring Resentment
Han Zeyu recognized this dagger at a glance, it was given to her by Si Yunshang for self-defense on the day she entered the palace. His cold pupils suddenly constricted, and he took the dagger and pulled it in his hand.
"In that secret room, there are blood stains everywhere, and there are some bloody corpses, but my subordinates have checked them, and among those corpses, there is no queen mother!" Mo Feiyang said again.
"Recall all the Secret Guards, don't look for them anymore!" After guarding the exit of the secret passage for so many days, there was no sign of her, and the only possibility was that she had escaped from somewhere else, but no matter where she fled, he would find her back!
Mo Feiyang nodded and asked, "Over there in the Dark Pavilion, do you also want Bai Zhu to recall the people?" ”
"This king has his own plans, from today on, you will continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this king wants to see her people as soon as possible, and I don't want to delay any longer!" Si Yunsheng's escape from the palace has come to an end, so it's time to start investigating the truth about Concubine Yun's death.
Ten years ago, Concubine Yun was deeply favored by his father, and it can be said that she was loved by thousands of people, so she also attracted the dissatisfaction and jealousy of other women in the harem.
Han Zeyu clearly remembered that it was his birthday, and Concubine Yun took the fourteen-year-old him and his sister, the eight-year-old Princess Sangyue, to Cangling Nunnery to pray for blessings, but she didn't want to meet the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and her daughter, the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Ziyi.
It was a delicate female doll carved in pink and jade, and like Princess Sangyue, she was only eight years old, but she was born frail and sickly, so the third lady also took her to the nunnery to pray for blessings. So they went together and went to the Cangling Nunnery together.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, a fire broke out in the west wing of Cangling Nunnery, burning Concubine Yun and Princess Sangyue, as well as the third lady, who were chanting in the wing. And the fifth lady Luo Ziyi is nowhere to be found, if it weren't for Han Zeyu listening to the teacher's chanting in another room at that time, otherwise it would be difficult to escape.
In the past ten years, he has continued to grow his power and organized an intelligence cabinet, in order to find out the truth about the fire that year, and the only thing that can bring him clues is Luo Ziyi, who survived, as long as he finds her, he will definitely know why there was a sudden fire back then.
But this Luo Ziyi's whereabouts are secretive, so he has been looking for ten years. This time, he finally got news of her again, so he must not let it go!
――――――
The setting sun is slanting, gilding the earth with a hazy orange, and the treetops gently flicker to welcome the return of weary birds. The stream reflecting the beautiful sunset flowed through the arch hole under the corridor, and the girl in white on the bamboo chair sat there with a pair of bright eyes, as if thinking.
In her hand, she held a blood-stained Jinpa, no matter how she cleaned it, the Jinpa could not restore its original silky white luster, but the purple jade flower embroidered in the corner of the Jinpa was still clearly visible. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her stunning face, and her long, freshly washed hair was draped over her shoulders, as if a circle of light shone on her jet-black green silk.
Si Yunshang lowered his eyes and looked at the Jinpa in his hand, after Cang Ninghao wiped her sweat in the secret passage that day, he forgot to return it, but now the only thing that can remember him is this Jinpa. Because after she woke up, she went back to the underground secret room and jumped into the waterhole to find Cang Ninghao's body, but the waterhole was too deep for her to swim to the end.
Perhaps, he didn't die......
She always comforts herself in this way, so as not to overwhelm the self-blame and guilt in her heart.
It's been a month since I was rescued here, and it's a secluded paradise surrounded by mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, fresh air, and unearthly tranquility, much better than the man-made resorts of the 21st century.
There was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, Si Yunshang moved his eyes, took Jinpa back into his arms, and with a slight turn of his beautiful eyes, he saw Lou You, the lady in red, walking towards her from the other end of the corridor.
Speaking of Lou You, this month is thanks to her care, otherwise, I am afraid that Si Yunshang will not live until now. Maybe it's because of eating snake gall bladder by mistake, maybe it's because of the Gu worm of the old man Wu, in short, since he woke up, Si Yunshang has suffered from the two heavens of ice and fire every day, and his body is sometimes extremely cold and biting, and sometimes hot like a fire.
"It's rare to see you with a ruddy face, you must be in better shape, right?" Lou Yu stopped at her side and reached out to pick up the veins of her slender white wrist.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, I'm much better!" Si Yunsheng's cold face was detached and polite, even in the face of her savior, she still maintained her usual indifference.
Lou You put down her wrist, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to her: "The pill here, you can take one pill a day to suppress the snake venom in your body!" ”
Si Yunshang took it silently, her eyes shimmering at the sunset on the horizon, she had been here long enough, it was time to leave. But when she leaves here, where will she go, I believe that Han Zeyu will be looking for her everywhere, if she leaves rashly, I am afraid that she will fall into his control again.
As if she had seen through Si Yunsheng's thoughts, Lou You's lips under the veil were slightly hooked, and she smiled lightly: "The girl is worried about where to go next?" I have an idea, I wonder if the girl would like to hear it? ”
Si Yunshang raised his eyes, bumped into Lou You's eyes as deep as a waterhole, and said lightly: "I want to hear it!" ”
Lou Youwan'er said slowly: "Let's ask who in this world can be more powerful than Shun King Han Zeyu, if the girl leaves here, I'm afraid that if you escape to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape from the palm of his hand, and the friend who escaped from the palace with you died unexpectedly, the girl has no hatred in her heart, so she doesn't want to avenge them?" ”
Hearing this, Si Yunshang was shocked, although Lou You saved her life, but she never mentioned that she had escaped from the palace, the vigilance in her heart suddenly increased, and she said coldly: "How do you know about me?" ”
"I have the ability to protect your life, and naturally I also have the ability to know all your things!" Lou You smiled disapprerovingly, and then said: "You are eighteen years old, the second princess of Lingsang Kingdom, but because of the defeat, you were given to King Shun by your father, but you didn't want to enter the palace by mistake again, became the queen of the emperor with broken sleeves, and suffered from abortion, and finally was given a cup of poisoned wine by the queen mother and almost died!" ”
Her own experience was told by Lou You one by one, Si Yunshang couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, and looked at her with vigilance, but it was Lou You's words that aroused the hidden resentment in her heart, reborn in ancient times, she was always at the mercy of others and used by others, she was unwilling to live like this all the time!
There was a devastating hatred in her cold eyes, and her hands were clenched into fists, which did not escape Lou You's eyes.
