Chapter 63: Su Zi'an ran away
When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she turned the teacup in her hand, and only raised her eyes to look at the grandmother beside her for a while.
"Such a trouble, I'm afraid that the emperor will also be suspicious of the relationship between the mourning family and Yu Cheng, you said that Yu Cheng's chess, is the mourning family to give up or stay?"
Mama Yun has been with the Empress Dowager since she was not out of the cabinet, and it has been almost 30 years ago.
She bowed down to add tea to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager has her own decisions, and the slaves and maids dare not speak in vain."
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and buckled the tea lid on the cup, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Mama Yun said yes, and then said, "In this case, the slave and maid have a humble opinion." ”
The Empress Dowager bowed slightly, and Mama Yun began to say: "The slave maid thinks that on the bright side of this matter, His Majesty is biased towards Yu Cheng, but the Chengde Hou Mansion has repeatedly made trouble with family affairs, and it is difficult for Your Majesty not to be annoyed."
Mama Yun stopped talking, looked at the Empress Dowager, and saw the Empress Dowager nodding before continuing.
"Your Majesty is not moving now, I think there is insufficient evidence, and there are many impeachments, so that Your Majesty is suspicious of the criminal, if the Empress Dowager is protected by Cheng, I am afraid that it will be more likely to anger Your Majesty."
The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "That's right, besides, now Your Majesty's attitude is unclear, and the Chengde Marquis Mansion has repeatedly had accidents, and the prestige in the army is inevitably not as good as before. ”
Mama Yun said: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true."
The Empress Dowager got up, and Mama Yun immediately bowed over and supported the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager patted Mama Yun's hand, walked to the couch and sat down slowly, although her beautiful eyes were dim, she did not lose half of her majesty.
"The mourning family originally thought that when Qingping died, the Chu State did not retreat in anger, and he didn't even pursue it too much afterwards, because he had some love for Yu Cheng, but now it seems that this is not the case."
In the past, Princess Qingping was assassinated, and Yu Cheng was cold and fell first, avoiding the last, but as long as he was close to Qingping, he was afraid that Qingping would not end up in a desperate death.
At that time, the army of Chu had not yet retreated from Jiang, and according to the importance that the old monarch of Chu attached to Princess Qingping, how could he continue the pressure of the army of Chu and threaten the diplomatic relations between the two countries, not to mention that Yu Cheng should be severely punished.
However, Chu State only mentioned this matter in one stroke, and after Emperor Jiang resigned from Yu Cheng's post, Chu State never said anything again.
Could it be that the tolerance of the Chu State is not for Yu Cheng, but for the bloodline left by Qingping?
But if this is the case, the State of Chu will directly take Yu Jixi back to the State of Chu, so why bother to keep it simple and complicated?
The Empress Dowager leaned on the couch, her eyes becoming more and more calm, and she felt that there must be something in it.
If this is the case, then there is no need to focus on protecting it.
After a while, the Empress Dowager rubbed her eyebrows tiredly, "The people who informed us don't have to excuse Yu Cheng anymore." ”
Mama Yun stepped forward to massage the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager is going to abandon the chess of Chengdehou?" ”
The pain in her brain was relieved, and the Empress Dowager closed her eyes quite happily, "Come to think of it, Your Majesty will not move for a while, if I cover up too much, this chess will be abolished sooner." ”
In the dungeon, the eunuch had just whipped twice, and Su Zi'an fainted.
The silver and white iron pieces of his fingertips barely sank into the palm of his hand, and the blood flowed down the blood-stained clothes, blooming one bright red plum blossom after another on the ground.
The clothes soaked in the stench and stained blood could no longer see their original color, and the terrible scars on the body were mottled and intertwined, which was particularly hideous.
His jaw was tilted back, half resting on the iron frame, as if he had passed out completely.
The eunuch outside whispered: "Do you want to find a doctor?" ”
The tortured eunuch withdrew the long whip covered with barbs in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little panicked: "It's not easy to carry it for so long, find the imperial doctor who broke the bone to show him, in case he really dies, the empress dowager hasn't asked what she wants to know, but she can't spare us."
As he spoke, the eunuchs hurried out, ready to find the physician who would heal the prisoners.
The glimpse was still hidden in the dark at the moment, and for several months, he was much less wary of Su Zi'an, and when he saw those eunuchs retreating, he slowly walked out of the shadows, ready to explore Su Zi'an's situation.
As everyone knows, Su Zi'an endured for months for this moment.
At the moment when the glimpse approached, the iron chains that bound Su Zi'an's hands and feet suddenly broke "Zheng Zheng", and a strange aroma spread in the cell.
Glimpse immediately covered his mouth and nose, and was about to start feeling a sourness, but when he saw a flash of silver light in front of him, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.
His throat was cut!
Glimpses immediately covered his neck, and his face was suspicious: "You ......"
Su Zi'an's eyes flashed with a cold light, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth with his knuckles, bent the silver and white iron pieces of his fingertips into thin blades, and raised his hand to make up a knife at the mouth of the glimpse heart.
The clouds and water between the hands flowed, the condensation between the eyebrows was like a thousand years of ice, and the eyes were quiet and cold, without half a minute of temperature and no half of hesitation.
"Boom!"
Glimpse spat out blood violently, and the consciousness in his brain slowly drained, Su Zi'an threw him aside like a rag doll, and raised his hand to push open the heavy prison door.
Glimpse covered his neck, which was constantly gushing blood, and looked at the direction of Su Zi'an's departure, his eyes full of disbelief.
For months, Su Zi'an has been in this dark dungeon, broken his leg and tortured, but he can still stay awake and tempt him to underestimate the enemy.
Su Zi'an was wearing a robe full of filthy and bloodstained damage, dragging his injured leg slowly.
Looking back, the glimpse could not see half of the panic on his face, and the cold face was cold and calm.
He seemed to finally understand why the master wanted him to stare at Su Zi'an all the time.
This person, with his perseverance, is really very human.
The eunuchs hurried back noisily, their footsteps getting quicker and closer.
Glimpse cheered himself up, sealed the acupuncture points around his body, climbed up with difficulty against the wall, and left the dungeon before a few eunuchs entered the door.
He should have committed suicide to apologize for the failure of his mission now, but before that, he had to pass the news on to his master.
Glimpse held on to his true breath and stumbled towards the Chengde Marquis Mansion.
In the past, it was only half a journey of incense, but now it takes an hour.
He climbed over the wall of the Chengdehou Mansion with difficulty and rolled into the grass pile in the garden of the Chengde Hou's Mansion.
Even if the big acupuncture points around his body were sealed, the neck wound was still bleeding, and the glimpse gasped rapidly, trying to reach out and grab the corner of the clothes in front of him, and the figure appeared in front of him.
