178, Ji Qiu hanged himself (end of the first volume)

(Girls' Literature)

It's late at night. The cold wind blew wantonly on the hem of everyone's clothes. Take the opportunity to get through the tiny slit of your clothes. Pierce that soft skin. to the most fragile heart at the bottom of my heart.

Su Jinyu, who was struggling, looked at Ling Xiao who was in front of her. Look at his red eyes. guessed that he had already learned the news that Ji Qiu was trapped here.

Pumped his foot hard. The eunuchs below held on to it. Su Jinyu was very embarrassed and turned to Ling Xiao for help.

"Don't go in again. Ji Qiu's sister's life is difficult to protect. Queen Mother, she won't forgive Sister Ji Qiu easily. I beg you. Save her no matter what. I beg you. ”

This is the second time Su Jinyu has turned to Ling Xiao for help. Sincerely.

。 Ignoring Su Jinyu and running towards the main hall. And those eunuchs rushed inside when they saw Ling Xiao. also let go of the hand that had held Su Jinyu down. They all followed Ling Xiao and ran.

Su Jinyu, who got Lisuo. Hurriedly chased after it.

Ji Qiu, who was stopped by the jade cicada, kept shaking his body. Although that was the only strength she had left. But if you can see Su Jinyu. She's not sparing it either. But now where is she the opponent of Jade Cicada. Not in a moment. She was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

The Queen Mother glanced at her. Tell the jade cicada to serve her and drink the dove poison.

"If that's the case, you have to stop. The slave didn't want to dirty the hands of the Queen Mother. Died.. It's just a straw mat wrapped in loess. ”

said. Ji Qiu propped up his whole body and snatched the bottle in the hand of the jade cicada with one hand. Raise your chin and drink it all.

The deep eyes looked at the Queen Mother. Poignant laughter burst out loud. I don't know why. By this time, she had not even the slightest fear. The poison passed through the intestines, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. A few drops of residue slowly slide down the corners of your lips. Even with a smile blooming that beautiful posture.

Sleeves flick. The whole man sat on the ground with his head up. Enduring the torment of poison in the body. A fine sweat drips from his forehead. It's pain. It's despair. It is lonely and desolate.

Jade Cicada looked at Ji Qiu. He looked sideways at the Queen Mother again. After all, I couldn't take half a step forward. I could only watch her torture and listen to her laughter, and my whole body trembled.

Ji Qiu instantly froze the smile on his lips. Glance around with a smile. Countless sorrows welled up in my heart. Between his teeth, he unconsciously hummed a sad and mournful ballad.

"Lala-la-la-ah...... Ahhhh La-a-la...... Ahhh Ahh......h

Jade Cicada reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes that were filled with tears at some point. She turned her head away from looking at Ji Qiu. Listen to her singing. The painful memories came to mind. looked at the Queen Mother and was not moved at all. Stand still. In desperation, I had to owe myself. Slowly walk towards the temple gate.

A dark shadow rushed into the soft candlelight. Outside the hall was the noise.

The jade cicada stared blankly at Ling Xiao on the steps and the many palace people who followed behind him. Inhaled. Pacing forward and blessed the body. "Slaves and maids see the prince. The prince is auspicious. "The mouth is full of bitter taste. He was still half a step too late.

Ling Xiao's eyes were half-narrowed, and he listened to Ji Qiu's singing softly. The steps below him were slightly stiff and he moved step by step. For the jade cicada's please. He didn't even notice it.

He remembered. When Ji Qiu left the Snow Flower Palace, he also hummed this ballad. At that time. He had asked her why she hadn't written the ballad. She replaced her answer with silence.

Listen to it now. He also understood what she meant. I'm afraid that no matter how good the words in this world are, they can't set off this ballad. Girls' literature is updated for the first time with words. It has a price. It's not just her anymore. Maybe. She is the only one who can hum such a taste.

Suddenly there was silence. Above the cold night sky was this heart-wrenching ballad.

Just as everyone was immersed in a sad atmosphere. The poison in the body began to kick in. Ji Qiu suddenly pursed his lips. The fluency of the ballad was stifled.

"Ji Qiu......" Ling Xiao exclaimed. I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good. Busy opened his steps and rushed into the temple. Hold Ji Qiu's body on the ground.

The Queen Mother watched in surprise as Ling Xiao appeared in her sight. The gaze was slight. Stand calmly in place.

。 Slowly opened his heavy eyelids. Glancing at him, she collapsed into his chest unsupportably.

"Don't blame it. Don't complain. Don't hate...... It's all ...... I...... Voluntary. Later...... I...... It's gone. Beg...... Wang Yeshan ...... Be kind to me...... Close relatives. Five fingers gripped Ling Xiao's wrist tightly. I tried my best to tell Ling Xiao the last entrustment.

When Su Jinyu arrived at the main hall. I only heard Ji Qiu say such a sentence. Next. It was a suffocating silence.

"Sister Ji Qiu. Sister Ji Qiu ...... "She can't believe it. Ji Qiu just left. stumbled along the way, and she finally came to Ji Qiu's side. Look at her serene face and the blood spilling from the corners of her lips. I couldn't help but lie on her and cry bitterly.

Why are good things so ephemeral? Some time ago, they were still talking and laughing together. Just in the blink of an eye. It is already heaven and man forever. It's all there. Whose fault it is. Who's wrong......

"Sister Ji Qiu......" hugged her unconscious body. Su Jinyu couldn't stop putting away her clothes. Stroking her supple green silk. It was as if she was just asleep. When you sleep, you wake up.

Ling Xiao quietly placed Ji Qiu's hand in front of her abdomen. With a hideous face, he took the dagger that was placed in a mahogany plate on the ground. Gently wipe it with the white silk.

He raised his eyes and stared straight at the culprit. A ghostly smile flowed from the corners of his lips. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible, like the bloodthirsty devil.

"You killed Ji Qiu. I will kill you. A life is worth a life. Even if you are the Queen Mother, there is no way. A sentence came out between his teeth. Ling Xiao threw the dagger in his left hand into the air. The cold light flickered. Grab the blade between two fingers and turn it. aimed at the position of the queen mother's atrium, she shot hard.

The Queen Mother stepped back in horror. I saw the green shadow flashing. blocked the fatal blow for the Queen Mother.

"Jade Cicada, you ......" had already frightened the pale Queen Mother. I never thought that the person who saved her in the end would be Jade Cicada. Look at the dagger on her chest. Panicked and speechless.

The jade cicada snorted lightly. I pulled the dagger out of my body.。。 Said weakly to Ling Xiao. "The prince must not blame the queen mother. She did this entirely for Wanguo's sake. If the prince has to pay for his life. Then use the life of the jade cicada to offset Ji Qiu's life. He said. The arm is lifted towards the lower abdomen. Seeing that Ling Xiao was not moved in the slightest. and a fatal stab.

Three stabs in a row. The jade cicada couldn't hold on and fell to the ground on one knee. Tsing Yi was stained red with blood. Both lips were frosty white. She endured the pain and raised her eyes to look at Ling Xiao. Just as he was about to stab himself a fourth time. Ling Yun's appearance broke the bloody scene.

"Enough. Is it really going to stain the Palace of Mercy and Grace with blood tonight? "Striding on. He looked at the three men on the ground. Walked up to Ling Xiao and patted him on the shoulder. "Ji Qiu has left. Do you want her to go uneasy? ”

Jade Cicada dropped the dagger in her hand. Struggling to squeeze a sentence out of his mouth. "Ji Qiu told the slave maid before he died. said that he was trapped for most of his life, and he didn't want to be trapped by the loess again after he died. also asked the prince to give her a flat boat. In the next life, let her be a free person. ”

Ling Xiao glared at Ling Yun beside him with extreme anger. Know what he's worried about. It is clearer to understand that what he is doing is right. But the resentment in my heart is nowhere to vent. Ji Qiu's death. It was a cruel punishment for him.

A dull thud sounded. The jade cicada collapsed to the ground unconscious. Between the fingers pressed against the wound, a steady stream of blood spilled from it. The Queen Mother squatted on the ground in fright. shouted loudly outwards for Doctor Xuan.

The guards trotted in from outside. Seeing such a formation, but helpless, the pestle was in place. I don't know who should be dragged down to deal with it.

Sleeves flick. Ling Xiao withdrew his eyes, turned around and walked out. As you pass by the guards. The sharp gaze fell on the sword that was worn at his waist. Dance your left sleeve again. The sword rang out.

"Ling Xiao. Cannot. Ling Yun looked intently. It was no longer possible to stop Ling Xiao's move.

A cold light flashed out of the corner of his eye. The sharp tip of the sword suddenly faced the direction where the Queen Mother was. The silver-glowing blade of the sword gently brushed the Empress Dowager's arm. Straight stabbed into the table and chair behind her.

"This life. You always owe me. Which day. I will come and retrieve it myself. ”

Ling Xiao picked up Ji Qiu's body from Su Jinyu's arms and walked out. Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell the Queen Mother. A fierce glaring at her out of the corner of his eye. It seems to have exhausted all the hatred that was left in this life. Let him remember such a person with his life. A person who drags along even if he dies.

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly. The smile that rippled at the corner of his lips gradually deepened as Ling Xiao left. "The mourning family is the queen mother. Is it necessary to have the consent of your Prince Ning to execute a palace maid? ”

Ling Yun glanced at the Queen Mother indifferently. The hand was raised and shook in mid-air. The guards standing on either side all retreated.

"Tonight's thing. The Queen Mother was frightened. In a few days, it is an important day to hold a banquet to entertain all the kings. I also hope that the Queen Mother will be alive and take care of the phoenix. Ling Yun clasped his fists and whispered. The one who helped Su Jinyu left the Ci'en Palace.

The stars are shining. After all, it can't stop the heavy dark clouds. Even the bright moon. Even if it is open, it can only be guarded. Tonight's Palace of Mercy and Grace is much quieter than ever. The blood that flowed on the ground was intimidating.

But no one dared to say more. As for what happened that day. Also under the pressure of Ling Yun. The palace people present were silent. for fear of getting into trouble.

There was also a rumor circulating in the palace. said that the Queen Mother personally gave death to a palace man who made a mistake. For this reason, he and King Ning went on a killing spree. The emperor, who has always protected his younger brother, has also stood in the same line with the queen mother for the first time.
