Chapter 116: Promise
Lao Shoufu reached out to pick up the prescription on the ground, and suddenly heard something sharp in his ears whistling by, and in an instant, the medicine on the ground was swept up by a gust of wind and scattered in all directions.
Concubine Ying, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes, shook her body a few times, and died on the ground.
The little housheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Ying, and the person was completely out of breath.
After the prescriptions flying in the sky fell to the ground, they all became shattered, and none of them were complete.
"Who is it! Who is it? There are assassins! Where is the Guards? Don't hurry up and catch the Assassins! The little housheng put down Concubine Ying, looked frightened, and shouted loudly.
Lao Shoufu was not in a hurry at the moment, slowly stood up, walked to Sima Nan, who was in shackles, made a long series, and sighed: "Good hand falling flowers and snow, when the old man was young, he was fortunate to see Liao Xiangquan and General Liao use this move, killing people invisibly, it was really a crying ghost and a god. ”
Sima Nan's face was cold, and his expression did not change at all.
However, Feng Bao was not convinced, and bluntly contradicted: "Old Shoufu, this is wrong, the general is now in prison, with more than ten catties of shackles on his hands, how can he show any falling flowers and snow, you don't let people hunt down the assassins, but you are making a big deal here?" ”
"Feng Bao shut up, Lao Shoufu is just sighing that Master Liao's moves are powerful, how can he say which assassin is it?" Sima Nan reprimanded.
Feng Bao stalked his neck, stared at Shoufu fiercely, and stepped aside.
The old chief assistant stroked his beard, and then made a compilation to Sima Nan, waving his hand and instructing the ministers: "Go outside the palace to welcome the new lord to the throne." ”
"Boss, do you want the death of the first emperor to be so unclear? This guy is so arrogant, he openly tortured and killed the harem mother in front of many of our important ministers, where is the law of the country? Why doesn't the boss care? ”
A minister fell to his knees, kowtowed and wept blood.
The old Shoufu brushed his hands behind his back and slowly walked outside, and the old voice said: "The new emperor will succeed to the throne immediately, these things are naturally played by the emperor, and the emperor himself will decide." ”
The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the old Shoufu gourd.
However, most of them are nothing more than grass on the wall, and now that they see that Lord Shoufu is no longer making trouble, it is not interesting to continue to make trouble, and after a few complaints, they all went out of the hall with him.
However, the little queen of the royal family who was holding the royal card was not convinced, jumped in front of Sima Nan, and shouted in a low voice: "You traitor, you already knew this secret, but you have never revealed it, and you have been protecting him and making him the emperor for more than ten years, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of my Xia family?" How can you be worthy of the trust of the Ancestral Emperor? ”
"You are the nephew of King Zhongjing, the hereditary King of Loyalty, Xia Feiyuan?" Sima Nan asked him.
Xiao Housheng nodded and sneered: "This king doesn't change his surname, he doesn't change his name, it's Xia Feiyuan." ”
"Go home and ask your uncle, why did the first emperor ascend the throne in the first place? Then go home and ask your uncle if what you said today is right, and if he doesn't teach you, you can come back and ask me. Sima Nan said coldly.
Xia Feiyuan shuddered, stared at him twice, and ran out of the hall behind everyone like a fly.
Feng Bao came over to untie Sima Nan's shackles.
Sima Nan stopped him and sighed: "Send me to prison." ”
"General!" Feng Bao stomped his foot and called anxiously.
"Take me down, don't make trouble for the new emperor. He has just succeeded to the throne, and if I am opposed by my ministers, will he not be upset? Sima Nan said in a hoarse voice, dragging the shackles and heading outside.
Feng Bao stomped down heavily and walked out after him.
At this time, the sound of drums sounded at the gate outside the palace, and the new emperor had arrived.
The ministers knelt down at both ends of the road, waiting for the new emperor to descend.
Surrounded by a cadre of guard generals, Zhang slowly walked in with a full set of luans.
Sima Nan hid behind the stone lion outside the hall, and the corners of his mouth showed a bleak smile.
Zhang has grown up, his demeanor is majestic, and he has the style of a king.
This is his own brother, for this brother, he has worked hard to finally see this day.
But for this man who came slowly, Sima Nan suddenly had a very strange feeling.
He is because he is his own brother, so he has paid a lot for him, but when he really looks at this brother, he is so strange.
Unfamiliar enough to barely recognize his face.
Yes, in order to avoid people's eyes, he hardly went to see this brother. Jiang Ming can take care of him, and Emperor Xiao can also take care of him, but he is the only one who has never gone to the cold palace to take care of him for a day.
What he remembered in his heart should be Jiang Ming's kindness and Emperor Xiao's brotherhood?
Sima Nan's vision was obstructed by the ministers who got up and bowed down to give salutes, and he could no longer see Zhang's face.
He sighed slowly and walked towards the inner warden's cell.
The cell was full of laughing people, and no matter what crime they committed, they would be released because the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.
When they saw Sima Nan walk in, the atmosphere condensed for a while, and slowly condensed a powerful resentment, and then suddenly erupted.
Sima Nan was the head of the inner chamberlain, and most of the criminals held here were imprisoned after his interrogation instructions.
A footwrap with a strong smell of feet was thrown on Sima Nan's head, Sima Nan tilted his head slightly, and another broken straw shoe was thrown into his face, and a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm spit on his smooth and neat clothes.
Seeing this, Feng Bao, who came in later, burst into tears, roared wildly, and pulled out the saber at his waist and swung it towards the prison door.
Sima Nan shouted to stop him, Feng Bao howled angrily, withdrew the saber, and in the cell where the saber was cut into just now, several big men were bluffing, and they collapsed to the ground trembling, peeing their pants.
"People are normal, so why criticize them." Sima Nan said lightly to Feng Bao.
"General, let's go back to the inner prison and care what kind of bird emperor it is." Feng Bao said angrily.
"Feng Bao, you remember, your allegiance is to the imperial court, not me, and it is also the imperial court that gives you money, not me, you go back to the inner prison and do what you should do, the new emperor has just entered the palace, I am afraid that someone will cause trouble, remember to be very cautious, and do not let the gangsters take advantage of the gap."
Sima Nan walked towards the cell at the end, and slowly instructed Feng Bao behind him.
Feng Bao wiped away his tears fiercely, buzzing in response, but he only followed behind him, refused to leave, and walked straight to the end of the cell.
The door of the cell at the end was open, and inside sat a beautiful woman in a red dress and a green dress.
Sima Nan was stunned, his face changed suddenly, his hands suddenly broke the shackles, and said angrily: "Who detained you?" Tell me quickly. ”
"Jiangshan and Beauty, you chose the latter, tell me, don't you regret it later?" Calmly stood up, dragged him into the cell, stared at his face, and asked in a different voice.
Sima Nan still looked anxious, as if he hadn't heard her question, and the person followed her into the cell, but turned around and shouted at Feng Bao in a low voice: "Go check!" Whoever put her in a cell, I will break her body to pieces! ”
"What are you anxious about, I came in by myself, and the purpose of coming in is to wait for you." Calm said behind him.
Sima Nan opened his mouth wide in surprise and stared back at her, at a loss for a moment.
Calmly leaned over and pulled out one of the wooden thorns on his finger, which had been stabbed on his finger when he tore off the shackles in a fit of rage, and several of which had not been pulled.
Calmly pulled his hands into his arms and pulled them one by one.
"Are you stupid?" Sima Nan stared at her head and said softly.
"Well, yes." Calmly answered.
Sima Nan was speechless for a while, staring blankly at the top of her head, his eyes becoming more and more gentle.
Seeing this, Feng Bao gritted his teeth, closed the cell door, and turned to leave.
They should love each other, but unfortunately they don't spend much time together. It's time for them to be alone, even in a place like this, at a time like this.
"Thank you for accompanying me through these days, I'm afraid the road in the future will depend on you, and what I told you will not be realized." For a long time, Sima Nan opened his mouth desolately.
Calmly lowered his head, carefully pulled out the wooden thorn on his hand, his hand did not tremble, and his complexion did not change.
Sima Nan blinked, his mouth opened and closed, his throat shook rapidly, but he didn't know what else to say.
Calmly pulling out the last thorn, Rou Yi gently slid over his calloused palms and asked, "Does it hurt, if it doesn't hurt, it's clean." ”
Sima Nan shrugged her to the door and pushed her out: "Don't worry about these little things, you can go." ”
"Then I'm leaving." Calmly walk out of the cell door.
Sima Nan's heart tingled.
This was what he had hoped for, but if she did, why did his heart ache? Did he still want her to stay, even if it was to stay with him a little longer?
Calmly walked out, turned back again, glanced at him, and said in an unquestionable voice: "I will still come to see you, I must see you, and I am not allowed to disappear or not see me." ”
Sima Nanqiang endured his distress and nodded.
"You can't do anything else you promised, you must promise me about it." Said calmly.
"If I'm not there, I'll definitely let Feng Bao inform you, I promise." Sima Nan said desperately.
Calm Fu turned around and walked away, and his low voice seemed to say to himself: "I won't let you be absent, even if I am not there, I will not let you be absent." ”
Sima Nan looked at her back, feeling distressed and couldn't help himself, he wanted to just pass like this, but this tragic life, this ending was his ending, nothing unacceptable.
But what she said just now destroyed his determination, he couldn't take her back to his hometown, but he could still do it, let her see him again, just once, he would definitely be able to do it.
Sima Nan curled up and collapsed to the ground, took out a pill from his sleeve with all his strength, and put it in his mouth.
Kong Lingci waited behind the arch to calm down.
Seeing Calm coming over, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Did you see him?" ”
"Lao Kong, you are a very strange person, you were looking for death and life just now, and you want to follow the first emperor, and now you can be curious about other people's affairs as if nothing happened?"
The calm operator walked forward and said coldly.
Kong Lingci followed behind her and laughed mockingly: "I am a person who has died twice, what else can I not think of, the Kong Lingci who loves the emperor is dead, and the Kong Lingci who is resentful and feels that the world is unfair is also dead, and now the rest of the person should also laugh at the world and be free to do what he wants." ”
"You didn't, your eyes betrayed you, all you think about is revenge, you think it's because I did something unfavorably that led to the emperor being killed, so you want to kill me, but you can't kill me,
So he blamed the emperor's death on the queen and Sima Nan, because there are legends in the palace that the queen is Sima Nan's person, and it was the general Sima Nan who wanted to usurp power and seek the country who instructed her to kill the emperor.
The queen has committed suicide, your enemy is Sima Nan, and the queen mother is not the only one in the Shanggong Bureau, you must have gathered them together and looked for an opportunity to kill Sima Nan.
It's a pity that I won't give you such a chance, you can't kill me, and you don't want to kill Sima Nan either. He said in a calm and cold tone.
