Chapter 10 The South

Silence is a very special existence. Between seeing through and not seeing, he struggled, and finally was swallowed up by the demon barrier of desire, and practiced hard for many years, but he was no match for the red dust heart of an ordinary man. He and Qin Xi are both people who have been tricked by bad luck, Qin Xi is thinking, if he replaces himself with him, where is his place in heaven and earth.

This is fundamentally a world where the strong survive. The birth of loneliness should be this truth. The fate of the weak is at the mercy of the strong in the thought of the strong, a Dugu Hao who is held in a high place, and a lonely who escapes into the empty door away from the world, who can face it calmly? Who is not a mere philistine? He wants to become stronger, and it is understandable to choose Chu Hong.

It was she waiting for her to appear silently, as she said, Chu Hong was going to target her at first, if she dodged, it would only affect innocent people, in the final analysis, she was not strong enough to protect herself. The existence of silence is a double-edged sword, she could use him to threaten Dugu Hao to bow her head, and he can use him to contain the Dugu family in the same day. Murong Ying is already an abandoned son, and Dugu Hao can't fall again.

She was very glad that Qi Ao was guarding the Qin family, so she really had no worries. She left a message asking Qi Ao to go to the study to find her, and he would see a letter she left for him, with only one sentence on it: Kill Murong Ying.

Murong Ying colluded with Chu Hong, she was not surprised at all. That little guy with exaggerated acting skills should have been taken down by the subordinates of the Qin Mansion, waiting for Qi Ao to interrogate. Isn't it contradictory that the husband was killed and did not come out of the door, for fear that the scandal of the family would be publicized, and the poison in his body would be known to everyone?

She was still suspicious that the jade pendant was not taken out, she gave up the things she didn't want in front of her, and people like Murong Ying, who were proud and resentful, actually used this jade pendant to ask her for peace? If you are unfaithful a hundred times, Murong Ying can't stay anymore.

A realization flashed on Silent Ran's face: "So, you were held hostage by me voluntarily?" Qin Xi, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”

Qin Xi smiled lazily, the flowers were colorless for a while, she took out a hosta from her hair and put it in her throat, and unexpectedly saw that her face sank, she opened her lips: "You pushed me off the cliff once, I won't die, I'll give you another chance, this hosta hairpin tail is highly poisonous, only to scratch my skin, poison into the heart, I will die of poison within a stick of incense, you will save trouble and take my corpse to give the errand, how about it?" ”

"You're going to blackmail me?!" He was obviously angry, and there was a little more fireworks, and he was no longer the former Buddhist disciple who was out of the world: "Do you think I will believe that you committed suicide?" ”

She was a weak woman, how squeamish and unable to endure hardship in Qinglu Temple was at the beginning, he still remembered, how could it be-

He stepped forward and grabbed her hand, but it was too late, and the hairpin had pierced the white skin on her neck, drawing a blood-red cut, which instantly turned blue-black, drowning the blood-red. He took the hosta, gritted his teeth and said, "You're really crazy!" What exactly do you want to do? Where is the antidote? ”

"You can't afford to kill me. Leave me behind, there is still greater use value. ”

Qin Xi is telling the truth, the hosta is poisonous, but it is not fatal, just to shake the silence, so that he does not dare to underestimate her, even if she makes fish on the chopping board, she also has a temper. Her body was so weak that a little poison alone was enough to make her dizzy.

"I really won't kill you, you can't provoke me."

Her eyes went black and she fell.

When Qin Xi woke up, she was lying in the dormitory of a palace, her body was sore, she had no strength, the wound on her neck had been medicated and bandaged, and she didn't feel pain. They gave her cartilage, she could move, but she couldn't use martial arts. She got used to it for a while, and then sat up with her body propped up, her long hair hanging down to her waist, and three thousand hairs like a waterfall.

There was a small window in the hall, and the moonlight was shining on the tiles outside, and she got out of bed, walking barefoot on the ground, her mind swelling, trying to remember what had happened before she passed out.

Silence kidnapped her. She was shocked, it seemed that she had been in a coma for several days, and she was taken to the Southern Imperial Palace in silence. The palace maid who came to add candles to the vigil was very surprised to see her standing in the middle of the temple, and hurriedly saluted, and she asked the palace maid, "What time is it?" ”

The palace maid looked at her in embarrassment, but she didn't answer, she was displeased: "Are you dumb?" I'm asking you. ”

"Slave maid - slave maid - " The palace maid stammered, and her voice was very low: "The emperor has decreed that the slave and maid cannot talk to the girl, otherwise they will have to look at the slave's head." ”

Qin Xi sighed and looked at the pen and paper on the table: "If you can't say it, go over and write it down for me." ”

The palace maid was very obedient, and walked over and wrote honestly: Hai Shi.

"How many days have I slept here?"

The palace maid wrote again: Two days.

It is estimated that she has been in a coma for at least five days from Qinzhou to the south day and night, and she is very desperate to kidnap her, and she refuses to stay for more than a moment, which shows Chu Hong's urgency.

"What do you have to say, girl?" The palace maid took the note and showed it to Qin Xi, Qin Xi saw that she was a simple person, and said, "Go get a few pots of wine." "With an empty stomach, she didn't want to eat anything, she just wanted to drink.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then took the order to retreat. Qin Xi looked around, this dormitory is gorgeous and elegant, but it is very in line with Chu Hong's tune, things are not people, who would have thought that the proton who was made difficult to play the piano in public at the palace banquet that year turned into the emperor of a country, and launched a year-long war?

It's a pity that he was too anxious, and he narrowly won the battle for the throne with Qi Ao, and before he ascended the throne, he eliminated a group of courtiers with different political views, which made people panic, and the foundation was unstable and launched a war, which cost the people and money, and committed a taboo for the king. Qin Xi had seen Chu Hong's crazy appearance, and he was so narrow-minded for the king, he must have regarded the things that were hostages in his early years as a great shame, and he should have swallowed this breath from the beginning.

She was very tired, but her mind was very clear, the early summer night was cool, she was wearing a moon-white middle coat with her back against the edge of the bed, and she drank the wine without a sip, the wine in the south tasted soft, not as warm as Qinzhou. After drinking two small pots, she became more and more conscious.

The moonlight was as cold as frost, and she maintained the same position, sitting all night. When she stayed up until the sky was white, she let go of her hand, and the wine jug in her hand rolled to the ground, swung twice, and collided with the other two wine jugs. She was relieved and fell asleep.

This reversal lasted for a few days, and on the third night, Chu Hong came not long after she woke up. He looks gentle and elegant in luxurious clothes, and his voice is also gentle, making it easy for people to fall into it: "I heard people say that you refuse to eat. ”

At that time, Qin Xi drank a little more, drunk and confused, holding his head to look at him, and couldn't think of what to say for a while.

Chu Hong quietly looked at the messy wine jugs, and said kindly: "I didn't know before, you drank so well, I just thought you were a girl who didn't know the world." He stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows were as warm as jade, and he really had the style of a gentleman: "On that day, you dressed up as a handsome man, and wanted to buy two strings of sugar gourds on the street but didn't bring any money. ”

There are many women in his harem, coquettish, pretty, flamboyant and gentle, and there is no one who can calm his heart like her, she is like a hibiscus out of the water, naturally carved and decorated, without a trace of pretentiousness. He thought that if she disappeared from this world, he would not always think about her, and an emperor should not have weakness. But he was wrong, the day she fell off the cliff in front of his eyes, his heart seemed to have been dug out, and the emptiness was terrible.

She tossed and turned to him, and he felt fine. Li Xuan Qi Ao and the others don't know how to seize the opportunity to treat her well, so why can't he? He didn't even want to possess her, he just wanted to keep her as Nandi. They have a past, don't they?

Chu Hong said that they met for the second time, and at that time she thought that he was kind enough to solve the siege, but this time she remembered that it was just another trap for him: "I only remember that you instructed Silent Ran to kill me, and I don't remember anything else." ”

She is not a saint, she doesn't want to understand a person who wants to put her to death, she has seen too many people who are different from the outside in the past few years, Chu Hong is suspicious and extreme in her eyes, and the gentleman who was as gentle as jade at the beginning is like two people, she respects and stays away.

"If someone in this palace dares to talk to me like this, he will already be in a different place, and if it were you, I would never bother with you."

Qin Xi lazily shook the wine jug in her hand, the wine brought by the palace maid really didn't drink it, she frowned in annoyance, stared at the wine jug and said, "So you let Lonely Ran kidnap me, do you want to threaten Li Xuan with my life?" Then your wishful thinking is wrong, I have already given him the book of resignation, and drove him out of Qinzhou, I am afraid that he will hate me to the bone and wish I would die. ”

"Oh-" Chu Hong raised his eyebrows: "Xi'er, you despise King Xuan too much, and you despise yourself too much." The King Xuan I know is not a person who gives up easily, he has a very high vision, there are few people in this world who can get into his eyes, I tried my best to win him over, he ignored it, and was very arrogant. But he is very attentive to you, and it is good for me to stay here with you, and to be angry. ”

"You don't have to provoke me, I am the Son of Heaven, and I don't care to trade a woman for a victory, and I will take you back to the South, because I can't find a better opportunity. It is worth sacrificing Murong Ying's chess piece as a last resort. ”

"You have a hard temperament, you scared Zuo Xiang unclearly, and when he brought you back, he had a blue face, and I thought you bullied him."

Since she was completely sleepy, she didn't mind him saying so much: "Is your left phase lonely?" ”

"To be exact, it's Duguyuan."

Yes, how could she forget that it was the blood of the Dugu family that flowed in her body?

"He is such a dusty person, willing to cling to you, I am curious, what benefits did you promise him?"

Silent Ran used to be a pure cultivator of the Six Roots, he didn't value money and fame, and broke into the red dust to be the left minister of the southern country, what did he want?

Chu Hong sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip: "Everyone has demons. Duguyuan has been abandoned by his family since he was born, and his talent is depressed, and what I gave him was an opportunity to prove himself. proves that he is better than Dugu Hao, and proves that he is more worthy of staying than Dugu Hao. ”

"You see, people are that simple sometimes. As long as he satisfied his desires, he willingly worked for me. ”

Qin Xi couldn't refute his words, so he only raised his head and drank the wine in the pot.

"You can live in peace, now in my palace, I have the final say, in addition to not being able to escape, how can you toss me open one eye and close one eye, I will not blame you, if you are not satisfied with the people who serve you, you can talk to the eunuch next to me later."

"Take care of your spirits, and I'll come to you tomorrow for dinner."

Qin Xi sneered: "Chu Hong, I am not your concubine, you can treat me as a prisoner, if you want me to give you a good face, it depends on my mood." ”

What she said was very casual, and Chu Hong didn't mind: "I said I wouldn't bother with you." ”

Qin Xi watched Chu Hong walk out of the hall, without the wanton attitude of Fang Cai, her face was lowered, she couldn't figure out what Chu Hong wanted to do? He did everything possible to keep her in this palace, what was his idea?
