Chapter 169: Substitute for the Dead Ghost

Zhuo Jinxuan also knew in his heart that he held Bai Shuqin's hand, "Believe me, don't want this position if it's a big deal, you and I will retreat to the mountains and forests, and it is also fun to travel in the mountains and rivers." ”

"Well, I'll wait for you."

This wait didn't wait for Zhuo Jinxuan, but waited for Nangong Che.

"What, the emperor has other orders? Or do you want to kill me now? Bai Shuqin's tone was cold, and in her eyes, the two of them were the same dog.

Nangong Che didn't speak, just glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard took out the key and opened the cell door.

Bai Shuqin felt a little surprised, but thought that maybe it was because Zhuo Jinxuan knew where she was held, so the emperor wanted to change her place to detain, and it should be the Dark Night Pavilion if nothing else.

When the three of them got out of the prison, the guards retreated, leaving only Bai Shuqin and Nangong Che.

Bai Shuqin followed behind Nangong Che, walking but finding that this road was not the way to the Dark Night Pavilion, she opened her mouth and asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

Nangong Che stopped suddenly, Bai Shuqin almost bumped into it, and couldn't help but complain: "If you want me to die, can it be regarded as murder!" ”

"It's not my turn to kill you." Nangong Che's face was expressionless, his eyes were as cold as the night, without a trace of waves.

Bai Shuqin didn't speak, what he said was really good, although it was not easy for these people to want her life, it was by no means difficult.

After being silent for a long time, Nangong Che spoke again, "The emperor wants to kill you, and now there are two ways for you to choose." ”

"Huh?" Bai Shuqin was a little puzzled, "If the emperor wants to kill me, what other way will he give me?" Is it a choice of what way to die? If you can, please let me die of old age. ”

"I'm still in the mood to joke, it seems that you are not afraid at all." Nangong Che finally laughed, but Bai Shuqin hit a spirit.

She hugged her arms, "You still have something to say, the dying don't have time to waste with you." ”

Nangong Che nodded, "First, stay here and wait for death." Second, come with me. ”

"Both of these paths are death!" Bai Shuqin held her forehead, she knew that there was nothing good, but she still wanted to know why.

It turned out that the emperor planned to poison Bai Shuqin's rice, and then pretend that she committed suicide in fear of crime, so that even Zhuo Jinxuan would be sad at most, and he could not blame the emperor for this.

Bai Shuqin sighed in his heart, this move is really ruthless. Even if she can detect the poison in the rice, she can only last for a month at most if she doesn't eat or drink, and the emperor just needs to be patient and drag the time. It's just that she still doesn't understand why Nangong Che wants to save her.

"You don't need to know, I have my own plans." Nangong Che seemed to guess her thoughts, and said directly, "Now you just need to make a choice." ”

"Do I have a choice?" Bai Shuqin asked rhetorically, between life and death, everyone will choose to live. What's more, she is staying in the capital now, which is not good for anyone.

However, if she disappears suddenly, Zhuo Jinxuan will definitely be sad, and it will not be a good thing if her son falls ill.

"I'll go back to the Three Princes' Mansion first, and I'll go with you if I can, if not, then forget it." Bai Shuqin said with a slight threat.

Nangong Che didn't reply to her, which was a tacit acquiescence.

After Bai Shuqin knew that she disappeared, the emperor would definitely tell Zhuo Jinxuan that she was dead. And she can't go directly to Zhuo Jinxuan now, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

She had no choice but to find Du Zijun and tell him that if Zhuo Jinxuan was too sad because of this incident, she would hand over the letter she wrote to him.

The matter of Bai Shuqin's disappearance reached the emperor's ears the next day, and the emperor immediately arranged for Nangong Che to investigate the matter, but found that Nangong Che had also disappeared.

Long Yan was furious that day, and even set up a branch in the Dark Night Pavilion, just to hunt down and kill Bai Shuqin and Nangong Che.

Zhuo Jinxuan thought that Bai Shuqin was dead, and he was heartbroken, and even wanted to follow him.

At this time, Du Zijun hurriedly handed Bai Shuqin's letter to Zhuo Jinxuan, "Third prince, let me hand it over to you when the third imperial concubine leaves." She didn't die, she just left the capital. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't have time to doubt the truth of the words, so he hurriedly grabbed the letter, only to see that it was written, "Ten years later, go to Baishou together, you don't fail me, I will live up to you." ”

"Did you really see her?" Zhuo Jinxuan's eyes were red, and his hands were tightly clutched in the letter.

Du Zijun nodded hurriedly, "Really, this was given to me by the Third Imperial Concubine herself." She also said that she was forced to do so, you must take good care of yourself, and she will come back. ”

"Ten years, ten years." Zhuo Jinxuan thought silently in his heart, she was not there, and every day was like a year for him. But he also knows the current situation.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are another year, this year, Bai Shuqin and Nangong Che don't know how many places they have walked, and finally decided to stop in the most remote grassland area of the Zhou Kingdom.

The blue sky, the white flowers floating in the sky are like white cotton. Bai Shuqin lay on the grass, feeling the long-lost tranquility.

In the distance, Nangong Che is shepherding sheep, far away from the capital, people always have to make a living. However, what Bai Shuqin didn't expect was that Nangong Che could do almost anything, no wonder he had the confidence to leave.

"Hey, do you want to drink saliva?" Bai Shuqin shouted loudly at Nangong Che.

Nangong Che heard it and walked towards her, she handed him the kettle, he took two sips, and then sat next to her, looking at the sheep in the distance.

"Shall we make a bet?" Bai Shuqin suddenly proposed.

Nangong Che was used to all kinds of ideas that popped up when she was fine, and said without thinking about it: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Bet I don't know the real reason why you took me away. If I am right, you will give me twenty taels of silver, and if I am wrong, you will give me two taels of silver. Bai Shuqin smiled cunningly.

"You're going to have a lot of calculations." Nangong Che glanced at her.

Bai Shuqin thought that he would not agree, but he didn't expect him to say next: "Yes, but add more chips." If you guess correctly, I will listen to you in this life. If you guess wrong, wash my clothes for a month. ”

"Deal!"

With such a good deal, Bai Shuqin had no reason not to agree. She showed a smile that she was determined to win, "First, you promised me when you were in the Zhou Kingdom that you would set me free. Second, you are tired of life in the capital. Third, aren't you? ”

Seeing that Bai Shuqin stopped and didn't speak, Nangong Che asked, "What is it?" ”

"Although I am easy to break when I get drunk, you shouldn't forget the night on the road to Zhou, right?" Bai Shuqin squinted at Nangong Che.

Nangong Che's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, he was not a child, but he thought she didn't know, but now that he heard her know, he would still blush and heartbeat, so he hurriedly stopped: "Needless to say, you won." ”

"Well, I think I won too." Bai Shuqin laughed heartily, and almost rolled on the grass.

Although he didn't say anything further, Nangong Che couldn't help but ask, "Since you know what happened that night, why didn't you say it until now." ”

"They are all adults, and I am not a chaste martyr, so I won't embarrass everyone when I say it." Bai Shuqin shrugged indifferently, not to mention the current situation, she didn't feel that she had suffered a loss.

"And why do you say it now?" For the first time, Nangong Che felt a little puzzled by her.

Bai Shuqin suddenly approached Nangong Che's side, so close that Nangong Che could feel her breathing, looking at her smiling face, he felt that his body was a little uncontrollable.

"Of course it's because" Bai Shuqin said slowly, his tone full of temptation, "I want to win you!" ”

Nangong Che suddenly pressed Bai Shuqin to the ground, his voice was slightly hoarse, "You won, you won completely." ”

After Bai Shuqin returned to the palace, he sank into nightmares every night, and when he woke up, he was scared into a cold sweat, and he almost lost his life with a high fever many times.

The emperor originally planned to let Bai Shuqin personally watch the fate of those who hurt her, but because the imperial doctor could not be stimulated according to his instructions, he concealed it, and everything was done in secret.

Although the colt was protected by his mother, hatred planted the seeds of mad revenge in his heart.

He swore in front of his mother's body that he would make these people pay for his mother's tragic death.

Bai Shuqin is a princess, and the only way to get close to the royal family is the promise he once overheard, as long as she enters Beijing, let out the news: her former life-saving benefactor will enter the city to participate in the imperial examination.

The princess will definitely take the initiative to send it to the door.

The horse arrived in the capital a few months earlier than the usual scholars who took the exam, and Princess Wenluo also sent it to the door according to his plan, convinced of his lies, and after a period of time together, quickly fell in love with him.

In the process of getting along, the concubine didn't expect that he gradually fell in love with the passionate, simple and kind princess, but he was worried that Zhuo Jinxuan and the princess would recognize each other, so he simply used a promise to kidnap the princess to let him get close to Zhuo Jinxuan, lure Zhuo Jinxuan to fall in love with him, and then persuade Zhuo Jinxuan to give up the imperial examination, so as to kill two birds with one stone, not only can he get Princess Wenluo, eradicate his rival in love, and ruin Zhuo Jinxuan's official career, but also make him completely dead to Wenluo, and he can't let go, and lives in pain.

As for the creation of multiple murders, it was nothing more than to blame Zhuo Jinxuan and cause Zhuo Jinxuan to die, who would have thought that there would be a ghost who suddenly appeared and took the initiative to bear all the responsibility. Although the horse was angry, the direction of the matter was also in his hands, Zhuo Jinxuan left Beijing, and he also got his wish to marry Princess Wenluo.

After the wedding, the colt and Wenluo had a lovely daughter, the arrival of the daughter softened the colt's heart, and gradually let go of the hatred, and he also thought about the past of the year, rotted in the stomach, and brought it into the coffin.

But after marriage, the concubine always felt the resistance of Princess Wenluo, and she had a person in her heart, a person who occupied all her thoughts.

Although the princess is by his side, his heart has already flown to the distant lover, so the horse no longer touches the princess, looking for flowers and willows outside, the relationship between the two has become more and more tense over the years, but at this time, the murder case a few years ago was finally turned over, and the guilt for the mother was also released from the dark corner, infinitely magnified. The horse made up his mind, this time he must let Zhuo Jinxuan die, since Bai Shuqin's heart is not with him, then he will let her go to the eighteenth layer of hell.

"Because your father, the hypocritical man who sits on the dragon throne, wants to give you a vent," the horse stumbled up from Bai Shuqin's body, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to turn over the long-ago story, "My family is connected to the nine clans, and they, the nominally my father, in that cold mansion, they have nothing to do with us and were also sentenced to exile, just because my mother bought you, all of them were implicated, more than a hundred lives, compared to your daughter's body, they are ants." My mother hid me and survived, but I watched her being abused to death. ”

The colt bent down to look at the woman who was already sluggish on the bed, and suddenly laughed wildly, "Haha......"

"I've sworn from then on that I'm going to make the culprit who killed her pay the price." Tears of laughter flowed down his cheeks, "You said, I want your daughter's body, the person you promised, but the person you love is in prison for me, is this a kind of revenge?"

Bai Shuqin was completely silent, she was on the verge of life and death, and she didn't know anything about what her father did.

But even if she knew, she could only choose to be silent.
