Chapter 1: Desperate Survival
The light of the top spotlight, with dazzling colors, through the refraction of water, was all brilliant in Su Chen's eyes.
The flap above his head was closed, the magic assistant and the guests were locked together, the velvet curtain was slowly closed, and Su Chen smiled faintly. When the curtain is fully closed, the curtain is completely invisible from the outside of the stage.
She immediately felt the chain that locked her ankle along her leg and foot, it was a prop, with a hidden buckle.
With a kick on the bottom plate, she jumped directly above the tank and touched the flap. This flap also has a hidden buckle, and she can push it away directlyββ?
I can't push it?!
She pushed the flap hard, but the flap didn't move. Su Chen's heart sank, and he was extremely calm:
Her limit in the water is seven minutes, and the duration of this magic trick is five minutes, and this is her magic debut...... Life is important, if you suffocate to death, you won't even have a chance to turn the tables...... Why hasn't the curtain been opened......
Even though her eyes were open, her eyes were still black, and the water began to heavily, and she couldn't breathe at all......
"Whew~!"
Su Chen opened his eyes suddenly, still in the water.
The cool feeling of water with undulating fluctuations soaked her jaw from time to time.
I wanted to see where it was, but it was all hazy, as if it was a big pool.
There was an itch in her throat, and she couldn't help but cover her lips and cough twice.
"Fraud, Fraud, Corpse ......"
There was someone on the side, but at this time he was talking with a trembling voice.
"What a deceitful corpse, but it's just not dead." A cold female voice, but listening carefully, there is still a hint of trilling: "Ah Duo, go, soak her a few more times." β
"I, I'm ......" the trembling female voice trembled even more.
Su Chen hurriedly adjusted his breathing and quickly analyzed the current situation: someone wanted her to die, although the location was different, but the result was the same - she either died or killed her!
"Save ......"
Su Chen wanted to call for help, but as soon as she spoke, her throat was so hot and painful that she couldn't even breathe!
There was a dark shadow on her head, and she secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly dived-
"Su'er!" An urgent call sounded above her head, followed by a pair of powerful arms that fished her out of the water, and with a warm touch, she went straight out of the water.
Just had time to look at a silhouette and be eroded by darkness.
β¦β¦
"You really don't remember anything? You don't know who I am!? As soon as the man came, he pinched her thin shoulder, and his tone was full of trepidation.
It's not that Su Chen wants to pretend to have amnesia, this is not a person in the first place.
Inevitably, it will be treated as a demon possession in the future, she will start first, although she has not asked, but this is full of costume dramas, and fools know that it is not modern.
Who was the person who was going to kill her that day? She wanted to know, but her body was too bad to support her mind.
"You smell on you...... cough cough cough cough ......" The palm of the hand that covered his mouth felt sticky, Su Chen moved away a little, and his eyes were dazzling - coughing up blood!
The man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly let go, pulled her forearm instead, and patrolled up and down: "Imperial Doctor!" β
Among the people behind him, one of them hurriedly came out and bowed down to ask for help.
The imperial doctor respectfully checked her pulse, but at the end she got up but did not speak, and then several people checked her pulse in turn and stood in rows.
Su Chen said coldly: "I have to know the specific condition of my body." β
Inexplicably, he turned into this medicine jar, and his eyes were black, this is the most dangerous, and he didn't know the reason for being killed every minute.
Those complicated imperial doctors didn't dare to say it directly, and only said after the person agreed: "Niangniang is afraid that she fell into the water before, hurting her lungs, because she is deficient, her breath is short, and she has a high fever repeatedly, so I can't remember some things clearly......"
Su Chen was angry and indeed short of breath, but she didn't ask this: "I'm asking, why am I coughing up blood?" As you said, I shouldn't cough up blood for all my symptoms......"
"The queen has arrivedβ"
Before she could finish asking, someone called outside the door, and then a woman in a gorgeous dress strode in.
Su Chen got up with the crowd, and when she saw how the palace maid saluted, everyone had finished saluting, and the queen had already sat down to serve tea.
Su Chen probably understood why it was concealed: this is the palace inside, there are many complicated things, and these few days may be her most leisurely time. She was shocked to realize that she could understand this meaning, and subconsciously glanced at the man - looking at the queen's age, he should be the prince.
The queen glanced at Su Chen and said directly: "Prince, this is your urgent business?" As a prince, don't you know what is urgent and what is important? β
Prince?!
So what is this...... Dismounted? No, it should be a warning.
Su Chen lowered his head, relieved of his surprise, and didn't want to be used to open the knife again when he didn't know his identity.
"Queen Mother, Su'er is sick, it's really serious, please ...... Kindliness. The prince bowed, and the last word was deliberate.
But the queen didn't listen, picked up the tea bowl, and forced Su Chen to reply: "Chen, you said it yourself, haven't you always been articulate?" β
Su Chen was stunned. But it was clear in my heart: it turned out that the original owner's surname was Chen.
"Speak!"
The queen put down the teacup heavily, and the porcelain and wooden tables made a crisp sound.
"Queen Mother," the prince bowed again: "Su'er, she...... After a high fever, I don't remember before. β
"Don't remember?" The queen sank her eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Then, let's take care of your illness, don't make another incident." β
It's still a warning, but this is also the last sentence, after the queen finished speaking, she got up, and there was already an inner eunuch paging outside the door: "The queen got up-"
The queen walked on the front foot, and the prince on the back foot let a doctor withdraw, and the attendant beside him immediately took out a small porcelain vase and presented it respectfully.
Su Chen only looked at the crown prince: "Prince, Your Highness, can you tell me now, who am I?" β
There is only one question left, and as long as this answer is told, she can understand the antecedents of this series of things.
But the prince said, "There is no urgency, you should recuperate first and take the medicine." β
The small porcelain vase was brought straight to the lips.
Su Chen held his hand: "What medicine?" β
"Antidote."
He said that it was an antidote, and Su Chen also believed it, after all, his eyes were full of deep affection, but as soon as the medicine was in her mouth, she suddenly felt that her throat was hot, as if a fire fell into her stomach, and she opened her mouth to speak, and blood spurted out wildly-
"Su'er!"
He was shocked, his eyes were split, and his voice was terrible, this was the last thing Su Chen heard before he fell into a coma.
β¦β¦
The endless darkness enveloped Su Chen, and she wondered for a moment, she was still conscious?
But with the limits of her inky vision, she couldn't even be sure if she was awake at this time.
"I don't want to die."
Suddenly, there was a soft sigh, as far away as smoke and mist.
This is simply Su Chen's heart: "I don't want to die either." β
The voice was faintly approaching: "I worked hard to defend the country for His Royal Highness, but I couldn't see him ascend the throne, I couldn't see him show his ambitions, I was unwilling to ......"
"I'm not reconciled, I still have a lot of dreams to fulfill!"
This is Su Chen's psychology, but it is not her heart.
"I know you're unwilling, so I ask you to be crippled, for your own sake and for me, you have to live!"
The voice came closer and closer, and the last sentence seemed to be in the ear, with a faint resentment, a little unwilling, and the sound entered the ear.
"Ahh
She gasped for breath and opened her eyes violently, but she didn't have time to accept the light of day, and went to drowsy again.
"Mother's awake!"
The palace maid who was guarding on the side called the imperial doctor repeatedly, and when the news came out, the prince was guarding in front of the bed.
When Su Chen was sober, he saw the prince's face, and his eyes were full of eagerness, chagrin, worry, and hope...... was also mixed with a bit of hatred, which made Su Chen, who had just sobered up, feel excited.
He lowered his eyes slightly, tilted his head and took the medicine cup, and when he looked at her again, he was already full of tenderness: "Don't be in a hurry to get up, drink the medicine first." β
"I don't drink!"
Su Chen got up abruptly and pushed his hand away, but he was weak, he didn't push away the medicine cup, only took it a little crooked, and sprinkled it all on himself.
How frustrating is that?
Su Chen wanted to be annoyed, but he directly supported him: "It's me who is bad, it's me who is wrong, I am not rigorous enough, Su Er ......"
"Your Highness! What are you talking about? Did I hear me right? You're ...... Apologize to her?! β
A clear female voice came from outside, with a shocked tone.
Familiar!
