Chapter 33: Conspiracy

"Catch the thief!"

Suddenly, I was bumped, and I looked at the man who hit me, who was thin and small, thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Boy, see if I don't catch you and break your legs this time!" Behind him, a big man was holding a stick in his hand, and he was menacing, but he was obviously not as fast as the person in front of him.

At this time, the small figure in front of him suddenly turned around, sticking out his tongue as he retreated: "You have the ability to catch up with me, slow turtle-"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he tripped over something on the ground, and he happened to be caught up by the big man behind him. And I was still immersed in my own surprise, not the scene in front of me, but the young man in front of me, who was not very old and grinning, looked too much like a person.

There were many people in the crowd at once, and they began to persuade the big man to stop fighting. It was only then that I noticed that the boy on the ground was curled up in a ball, his hands covering his head, but he didn't say a word.

My heart tightened, and without thinking about it, I squeezed in, blocking in front of the boy, and the big man didn't have time to retract his kick, and kicked me in the leg, and I stumbled and almost fell to the ground - it hurt! It shouldn't have been broken, I tried to move my legs, and I was relieved that I could still move.

The big man reacted, looked at me as a person, then looked at my outfit, and pouted: "Little girl, do you want to pay him back, or do you want to take a stick for him?" "The stick in my hand was dangling in front of my eyes.

The rod was still stained with red blood, and it must have belonged to the young man lying on the ground. There was a chill in his back, and at this time he felt afraid, he couldn't be beaten for him without money. I gritted my teeth and pulled out a jade pendant from my bosom.

Before I could tell him, he ducked from my hand, his eyes looked at it as if it could emit light, but his tone was light, "Fortunately, you know each other, so I will let him go again." With that, he turned around and shook the fat on his body and left.

Seeing that there were no good spectators, the people around them gradually dispersed. I looked back at the boy on the ground just now, but there were still people, just a puddle of blood on the ground that was shocking...... Following the bloodstains, beside a stream, a teenager was scrubbing the wounds on his legs, as well as his arms and forehead......

"Even if you save me, I won't be grateful to you." Suddenly, a sentence came that made me unable to take the foot I was about to take anymore, and then I watched the thin figure go farther and farther.

In an instant, I suddenly understood that he was not in the clouds, but just looked like them...... Because the clouds don't talk like that, and they don't be indifferent.

As I watched the boy wash and leave, I sat down by the stream...... After pondering for a long time, I finally figured out where to go, and now the top priority is to return to the palace first, and I have to get Mo Lian in my hands first. After making up his mind, he didn't want to delay for a moment, patted his ass and left.

This time, I was a little wiser, and instead of entering through the guarded palace gate, I circled around the city wall again and again, and finally found a palace wall that was unguarded.

To be honest, this palace wall is really not ordinarily high, it is impossible to climb up, besides, even if I grow wings and fly up, I am afraid that before I land, I will become the target of ten thousand arrows piercing my heart. And the purpose of my coming here is not to go in, but to let the people inside.

After asking a family for a piece of flint, I began to work under the wall, taking off my coat and tying it to a stick, then lighting it and bouncing it inβ€”and then I heard people inside start shouting "water", "Assassin", etc., and I stood there gloatingly, waiting for them to come out and get me.

When I was brought in by a group of guards, I met a familiar face - Concubine Su. When Concubine Su saw that it was me, she was stunned, and it took a long time before she said a word, "You're not dead?" ”

The moment she said this, I suddenly remembered something, she ...... It's also a member of the Su family! It seems that I have to keep an eye on it, and I can't be like last time......

Just as I was thinking about what to do, a laugh of surprise came from her mouth, and then my hand was grasped, "It's good that you're not dead." After speaking, he instructed his subordinates, "Go and tell the emperor, and say that Princess Oude is back." ”

I looked at her in amazement, impossible? Didn't their family hate me and the emperor? No, now Concubine Su is still Concubine Su, and it seems that the affairs of the Su family have not been affected by the family. Odd? Could it be that the emperor really loves her, but ...... Could it be that the emperor doesn't know about the matter between her and Wuyu? Also, if he knew, this big green hat would have killed the Nine Clans a long time ago according to his temperament.

In the interval when I was stunned, someone had already taken a shower and changed my clothes for me, and after everything was cleaned up, the emperor really came.

Concubine Su was lightly relieved, while I stood still and didn't know what to do.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and the original elegance on his body disappeared, replaced by the breath of the king, which made people a little breathless.

"Concubine Su Ai is exempt." The emperor gently lifted Concubine Su, and then turned his head to look at me, thinking that he would come over and hug me excitedly, but he never thought that such a sentence would come out of his mouth, "Come on, put this person who pretends to be a princess on death row." ”

After speaking, Concubine Su also looked at him in fright, and was about to say something but was interrupted by the emperor, "Concubine Su may have been too tired recently, and it is inevitable to recognize the wrong person." ”

Concubine Su was silent for a long time and didn't speak, just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

My mind was in a mess, and I was set up and escorted away by a group of guards, and I didn't shout anything, because I knew that the emperor did it on purpose, and anything more was a useless struggle. And it was all like a dream, a terrible dream. Maybe when I wake up, I'm still in Wuhua Town, mother, Xiaoer, and flowers...... It's all there.

Squatting in the corner of the prison, I kept wondering what was going on, what went wrong, what the hell was the emperor going to do?

Dusk Huan, Concubine Ling, Su Han, Concubine Su, Emperor...... Something is wrong with everyone, what is wrong?

The sound of iron chains, the door of the cell was opened, and when I looked up, there was no jade! I hurriedly stood up and ran over, "No Commander, what's going on?" Why does the emperor have to say that I am a fake? ”

"Because you're not really a princess."

One sentence made me speechless anymore, as if it was unexpected, and it was in a premonition, but I didn't want to think about it. "Then what is the emperor going to do?" I asked rhetorically, maybe the death of Prime Minister Yun and Master Su is related to the emperor.

He frowned, "I can't tell you this, it's just that we are just pawns of the emperor." ”

Chessman? I looked at him in amazement, as if trying to find some clues on his face.

"Then is my mother's death also related to the emperor?" I suddenly thought of something, now that Master Su is dead, the only one who can tell me the truth is him.

He suddenly looked at me with a compassionate look, yes, this is the kind of look he used to look at me before.

"To be exact, since that plum blossom banquet, the emperor decided to ask you for this chess piece, that is, from that day on, the emperor thought about how to let you enter the palace, and then Lord Su happened to catch you, which happened to be an opportunity, so he sentenced you to death, and then let someone replace you, and then you can enter the palace with a new identity, but your mother is the only one who knows your background, so ......"

"So the emperor killed my mother?"

He nodded. Haha, finally understood, everything is a scam. I looked up and stared at the "hero" in front of me who had ridden a horse and said, "I let her go, but I haven't said I won't save it", perhaps, I have never hated someone like at this moment. He knew everything, but he didn't tell me.

"What does the emperor want me to do with this chess piece?" Suddenly I felt that it was impossible to go to war with my relatives, and when I thought of my relatives, the assassins I met on the way......

"I can't tell you all the rest."

"Then why are you telling me?" Wouldn't it be better not to tell me?

He sighed, "The emperor has decreed that tomorrow, at noon, will be beheaded to set an example." That's all I can tell you about dying people. The slightly emaciated figure trembled slightly as it reached the corner, and my heart sank.

That's right, I saw Concubine Su. Concubine Su smiled smugly at me, and then disappeared into the prison with the Commanderless.

The prison is dark again...... From Concubine Su's smile just now, I suddenly understood that everything was a conspiracy, she called the emperor at that time, just to let my emperor arrest me. This trick is to kill people with a knife, and it is really much more powerful than her brother and sister.

"You look so ugly when you cry."

Who? I looked around and finally found a vague figure in a corner of the nearby cell. I wiped my tears and saw who the little figure in front of me was. was stunned for a while, and finally reacted, "How could it be you, you won't be caught stealing again, right?" ”

He snorted and said disdainfully: "Even if you steal, you won't be caught." ”

I was still looking at him, waiting for his next step. When he saw me staring at him, his breath suddenly weakened, and he muttered, "If it weren't for my leg injury this time, I wouldn't be able to run fast......"

I sneered, and he looked at me like a madman, "Aren't you scared crazy by tomorrow's execution?" ”

Yes, he didn't say that I almost forgot, but I was the one who was going to be beheaded by the emperor tomorrow, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, but still replied honestly, "I wasn't afraid before...... But now I'm afraid. ”

I wondered, "Why?" ”

"I used to have no relatives and no reason, and sometimes I thought that it was better to be alive than dead." He sighed, "But just now I heard that person say that you are going to be beheaded, and I was suddenly scared in my heart, and I am glad that it was not me who was beheaded." ”

Originally, I thought that maybe he was a good boy, but because of his last words, his heart was a little colder. It stands to reason that since Wuyu told me the truth, I should have no heart, no, maybe from the beginning when Su Han wanted to kill me.

The young man in front of him, as if he knew that he had said something "wrong", lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not gloating, I'm just ...... Just ......"

"It's okay......" In the clouds of nothing, this name has been pronounced countless times in my heart. At this time, looking at this person who is similar to the seven points in the clouds, I felt a little comforted in my heart, okay, okay, it will be me and not him who will be beheaded tomorrow.

Let's let this all end.

In January of the first year of the Western Dynasty, a woman pretending to be a princess was beheaded by the emperor as an example. Since then, no one has entered the palace to pretend to be a princess, and Princess Oude is still missing.
