168. The price of the arm
(Girls' Literature)
Pitch black night sky. It's like a splash of ink. In an instant, the entire world was enveloped in an instant. Everything was immersed in the cold cold night.
There was only one straw mat underneath him. Covering his body was nothing more than a bed of tattered cotton wool. Su Jinyu looked at the gray wall and bit her lip. Tossing.
Reaching out from the mattress, he traced Ling Yun's face in the air. When your fingertips touch the cold air. Suddenly shuddered a few times. It seemed to be the temperature from Ling Yun's body. The warmth that gradually dissipated made her sob.
Get up in the middle of the night. Only then did I realize that the cold was pressing. Pierce the musculobones. His body trembled, and he wrapped the futon tighter. His eyes stared vacantly at the dim candlelight outside the cell door.
It's been more than half a day since I entered the door. There has been no news of Lingyun in the women's literary prison for a long time. I don't know if I've been rescued. I remember meeting the Imperial Doctor on the way. She thought he should have a way to heal Ling Yun.
In a secluded cell. There were a few sounds of agitation. And the sound of heavy chains. Then came the sound of footsteps wandering down the walkway.
Su Jinyu was surprised and hurriedly lay down and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. As he walked closer and closer to the cell he was in. She had secretly opened her eyes and looked at them a few times. But they didn't see who they were because they were too early.
"Lord Wang. This is it. The jailer diligently bowed to Ling Xiao. He took a large bunch of keys from his waist and opened the cell door for Ling Xiao. No one is allowed to see Su Jinyu in private. He was afraid of being known. As soon as the door opened, he trotted out.
Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction. His deep eyes kept looking around the cell. In that corner, it seemed as if there was a dark shadow climbing there.
Looking at Su Jinyu on the bed, she didn't seem to have any intention of waking up. He snorted coldly. Strode into the prison door.
Su Jinyu didn't know who it was. He is also extremely reluctant to face the outside. After a few whispers, he took the opportunity to turn his body inward. The eyelids twitched a few times in an instant.
"Big Brother is in a moment of crisis. The king doesn't believe you'll be able to sleep peacefully. If awake. Let's get up early and reply. Ling Xiao waved his sleeves. Only then did I realize that there was not even a stool in the cell. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible
Rushing back non-stop. I haven't rested yet. watched Su Jinyu comfortably drill into the quilt. My heart was filled with a little resentment.
Originally. He told Ling Yun that he didn't want children to be long. Not only did he mistake the country, but he would also hurt him. It's good now. These words have been fulfilled one by one.
Su Jinyu pulled the futon. Slowly open your eyes. She could hear Ling Xiao's voice. But I just didn't want to turn around and see him. Those unpleasantness between her and him. always bothered Su Jinyu's heart.
In fact. She still has a plan with him in her heart.
Ling Xiao saw that she didn't react in the slightest. A little annoyed as he glared at her figure. "If you want to die in this prison. Girls' literature is the king, and you are. Why bother to suffer your temper for the sake of the eldest brother. "Finished. Ling Xiao flicked his sleeves and turned his head to leave.
Su Jinyu pursed her lips. I heard that Ling Yun asked him to come over. Huo Ran got up from the bed. He shouted at his back. "The slave is awake."
Ling Xiao tilted his head slightly and glanced at Su Jinyu with the tips of his eyes. The corners of his lips crossed the sneer. Really. He guessed her weakness.
The footsteps paused. But Ling Xiao didn't turn around to face Su Jinyu for a long time. He was waiting for Su Jinyu to beg him. He also believed that Ling Yun was the best way to deal with her.
"The slave and maid are awake. Can the prince tell the slave maid how the emperor's condition is? Girls' Literature "Su Jinyu put on her shoes. Step by step, he walked towards Ling Xiao. Even if you don't want to. She couldn't take Ling Yun as a bet either. How can I miss the news I was looking forward to like this?
"It's up to the king to call you. You don't want to deal with it. But now he took the initiative to keep the king's way. I don't know what that means. If it's to know about the big brother. All right. Ask the king. The king who asked for it was comfortable. Naturally, the king will tell you everything. How is it. Ling Xiao coldly threw these words to Su Jinyu behind him. Then he turned around and stared straight at Su Jinyu's dim eyes. I kept thinking about how to punish her next.
"Please. Please. A smile and a tired face stared at Ling Xiao in front of him. Also. He is a high-ranking prince and the former monarch of Wanguo. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible If you just ask him, you can get the news of Ling Xiao. What is there to complain about?
The night was dark. Sprinkled out the window into the moonlight. A faint sweep swept on Ling Xiao's lilac robe.
Su Jinyu gasped. Cold inlet. His teeth chattered a few times. drooped eyelashes. As soon as his knees bent, the whole person knelt down in front of Ling Xiao. The palm of the hand is tightly pressed against the ground. She slowly leaned down and kowtowed.
"Slave beg. Ask the prince to tell the slave maid. ”
Ling Xiao sneered a few times. He lifted his robe and crouched down. His left hand rested on Su Jinyu's shoulder. Look at her with bad intentions. "It's just a small lesson. Next, this king wants to settle old scores with you. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible Since your eldest brother is lying on the bed and can't move. Then the king will unload your arm. It's all about reparation. Luckily. ”
The last two words. The voice is extremely soft. Su Jinyu listened to his words. His eyes dodged his amber pupils. Leaning to the side. She didn't even say no. I just felt something torn in my shoulder. The pain spread uncontrollably.
"Ah......h But they can't share the physical pain.
The pain was unbearable. A few crystal tears burst out of the corners of his eyes. Under the moonlight, it is really distressing. Ling Xiao who could stand opposite him. There was not the slightest pity in his eyes. Five fingers clasped tightly around her shoulders and arms. The back of his hand was tinged with a panicked whiteness. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible
Su Jinyu squeezed her hand hard. Remind yourself not to cry out loud. Tears continued to drip from the tips of his eyes. Fall into the dust beneath you.
"This king just wants you to remember. How much pain you have right now. Big brother just hurts as much as he wants. If it weren't for your rampant rampage. Will he lie there and not move? Before. It's this king who is too soft-hearted and didn't take you out of Wanguo. led to the current situation. This king will not let you go easily. This hand is an example. If there is a recidivism. This king wants your leg. Ling Xiao slowly stood up from the ground. He looked down at Su Jinyu who was sitting on the ground. His eyes were full of crimson murderous intent.
Just asked for her arm. Ling Xiao is already an extrajudicial favor. In the past. Whoever dares to hurt Ling Yun at all. Girls' literature will be updated as soon as possible, and he will definitely return it tenfold.
Su Jinyu choked back tears. He nodded incessantly.
That night. At Ling Xiao's insistent request. Brought Su Jinyu out of the cell.
The windy and frosty Ji Qiu waited quietly outside the prison. Su Jinyu's shout just now made her almost rush in. But because it's Ling Xiao. I had to suppress the anxiety in my heart.
When she saw Su Jinyu appear in front of her with a pale face. Ji Qiu couldn't believe it. Ling Xiaohui lynched her. If this is known to Ling Yun. I am afraid that some of them will suffer.
"Lord Wang. How can you treat her like this. Ji Qiu walked quickly to Su Jinyu's side. Holding her weak body. The words were full of reproach. Girls' Literature
Ling Xiao glanced at Ji Qiu unhappily. "Then tell the king. What is the king going to do? Ji Qiu, you have been away from this king for too long. I've almost forgotten how this king treated others before. ”
Ji Qiu didn't dare. I dare not forget all kinds of seasons and autumns in the past. But now. Ji Qiu's master is the emperor. The slave was ordered to protect the girl. The prince is doing it now. It was really difficult for Ji Qiu. Ji Qiu let go of Su Jinyu's body. He said with a fist at Ling Xiao. She didn't care about Su Jinyu's presence. Tell her true identity straightforwardly.
"Back then, someone was going to stab my eldest brother. And the king took the life of his whole house. Now. The king had only removed one of her arms. Do you dare to say that this king is serious? Huo Ran turned around. looked directly at Ji Qiu indifferently. Ling Xiao said with annoyance.
Ji Qiu blessed his body again. Seeing that he was stunned. I had to shake my head in denial. She looked at Su Jinyu's arm. He sighed softly.
Ji Qiu accompanied Su Jinyu all the way to the side hall of Yonghe Palace. repeatedly instructed her not to step out of the temple gate these days. Otherwise, no one would have been able to save her life.
Su Jinyu bowed. Her forehead was covered with fine sweat and she bowed her head. Sweat slid down his face. Ji Qiu knows. She has been holding back the pain along the way. Try not to make the slightest noise.
His eyes were full of worry. Ji Qiu gently held up Su Jinyu's injured palm. Put it on the back of your hand and pat it a few times. "I can't disobey the prince's orders. If you're really afraid of losing that arm. I'll pick it up for you. Injuries that have been taken are never healed. In the future, this hand will be a little weaker than before. Heavier things are not lifted. Jinyu. If you're not afraid of another pain, nod your head. ”
Cold winds gusted. Soon blew away the heat that shrouded the top of Su Jinyu's hair. His arm became numb and stiff. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't feel the slightest pain. I'm afraid it's after the pain. The arm was no longer hers.
She raised her eyes to look at Ji Qiu's sincere eyes. Shaking his head faintly, he said with a smile. "If he had known that you had healed this arm for me. You'll be to blame. I don't want my sister to end up with the same fate as me. If it's scrapped, it's scrapped. ”
From the moment the pain spreads. She didn't have the slightest fear. Since it is a punishment. Where is the truth of not suffering at all? Losing this arm would bring back Lingyun. So what is there for her. Even her life was ready to give up. Just an arm. She thought she could face the days ahead.
Ji Qiu looked at her like this. I couldn't bear to touch her forehead and wipe away the sweat for her. carefully explained the reason for this to Su Jinyu. "The prince hurt you behind the emperor's back. If I save this arm for you today. It is also equivalent to reducing the prince's sin to the lowest point. I don't want to see the prince and the emperor's brother kill each other. When the time comes, the Queen Mother's spearhead will be pointed at you. Disaster in disguise. Brothers kill each other. This is the most important thing among the palaces. Ultimately. I'm saving you by doing this. The Emperor's order. How can I disobey it? ”
Ji Qiu smiled and turned sideways. Looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky. The moon shines like frost.
Su Jinyu understood Ji Qiu's plan from these words. Gently tugged at his lip. Walked over to her and said. "My sister has a heart. This matter bothers my sister. ”
