Chapter 23: King Ruthless Duan Orders Blood to Be Taken
My surname is Zhang Mingwei, I am Chinese New Year's Eve years old and I am from another world.
I have a pair of children, who are not yet one year old, who have been married or divorced, and the meaning of divorce is probably what you call divorce here, but marriage or divorce is a joint decision between the two of us in our case, and it is not up to one of them to have the final say.
Soon after my children were born, they were diagnosed with a rare serious illness, and on the way to seek medical treatment in other countries, I encountered an accident and died, and it happened that Xuanhu died suddenly at that time, she saved my children and cured their diseases, I don't know what the reason is, the soul entered Xuanhu's body and continued to live, but Xuanhu's soul could not return to Lingmu Valley to rest in peace, so it could only stay by my side.
With all that said, the sky was already dawning.
Lei Jue sat on the couch and pinched his eyebrows, the sword in his hand had been hanging to the ground for a long time.
Cao Zhi asked Lei Jue to go to the court outside the door, but Lei Jue didn't respond, just sat with a very painful head. It took a long time for Lei Jue to slowly stand up and retract his sword from its scabbard.
I waited for him to make my decision, but he didn't say anything, went to stand by the wooden frame for a while, and said to me, "Come and help me change my clothes." ”
The complicated clothes were layered on Lei Jue's body, and he just opened his arms and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, I helped him tie his belt and straighten his clothes again, and I said to him, "It's already dressed." ”
Lei Jue didn't say anything more, didn't even look at me again, left the bedroom, and went out to leave Haoyue Pavilion with a team of guards.
After a simple wash, I wanted to sit in the courtyard, but I was stopped by the guard at the door, saying that King Duan had ordered that Princess Xuanhu should not leave the room for half a step.
I don't know if Lei Jue saw that I made half of the night clothes, I don't have to hide it anymore, although it is likely that I will not have the opportunity to really put on the night clothes and escape, but since I have done it, it is better to finish it, I continued to sew with needle and thread in the open window, Guoguo came in to deliver water and food, and wanted to open my mouth several times, but in the end I didn't dare to really ask me anything.
I wanted to sleep for a while, and then go to see Xiaoying Xiaoze in my dreams, but as soon as I lay on the bed and closed my eyes, I saw the tired face of Lei Dudao when he left, and I couldn't sleep.
Lei Jue is probably still a little distressed, this absurd and strange thing suddenly smashed his head and face, and it will be difficult for anyone to digest, not to mention that Lei Jue still has some true feelings for me, a fake princess. Fortunately, the time for this relationship to sprout is short, and it should not be very deep, otherwise it would be too shameful for him to be entangled with a woman who has already become a mother when he is unaware of it.
I thought that Lei would come to question or reprimand me after the court, but he didn't come until the night.
The next day, Ray never came.
On the third day, Lei Jue still didn't come.
For many days to come, Ray was never seen.
Xuanhu appeared a few times, the black pupils were still the same, and sometimes there would be resentment, but as long as I hugged her and coaxed her to say that as long as she returned to Lingmu Valley, it would be fine, and Xuanhu could gradually return to calm.
I saw the children a few times in my dream, and the children's voices were hoarse, and there were no other bad consequences.
I thought that when Lei Jue came to see me again, I would definitely ask him to let me go back to Xuancang Lingmu Valley, although Xuanhu was stable for the time being, I didn't know that one day I would lose control and hurt Xiaoying Xiaoze.
After ten days, Lei Jue finally reappeared, but he had a jade bowl in his hand and a dagger with a blade against the cold light.
"Is Lei Nian in poor health again?" I looked at the jade bowl on the table, and I didn't know if I was asking or talking to myself.
"You can also call the name of the virtuous king?"
Lei Jue's cold voice made my heart fall, yes, I'm old. I saluted King Duan, "King Duan taught me a lesson." ”
I picked up the dagger, gritted my teeth and cut into my wrist, my knife technique really did not make any progress, and I still didn't see the artery after a knife. In the corner of his eye, Duan Wang watched my movements coldly, and there was obvious impatience in his eyes.
"Cao Zhi!" King Duan called out.
Cao Zhi came in and knelt on one knee, "My subordinates are here, please give orders from King Duan." ”
"Go and help her, King Xian is still waiting."
Cao Zhi was stunned and did not immediately follow the order. King Duan glanced at Cao Zhi coldly, "Why, can't you understand what this king said?" ”
"Subordinate...... Yes, sir! ”
I smiled at Cao Zhi, but I didn't expect that he would have some pity for me without saying a few words to Cao Zhi in total. I handed him the dagger and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can do it, I can make it easier." ”
Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and glanced up at me. This is the first time Cao Zhi has looked at me squarely, in the past, he always fulfilled his duties as a guard, and humbly never looked at me.
After Cao Zhi took the dagger, I lifted my sleeve a little and hung out my entire wrist, "Let's do it." ”
Cao Zhi nodded at me, "Yes." ”
I thought that Cao Zhi would hold my wrist to cut, but I didn't expect him to just pinch the dagger, that is, a quick volley in the air, and the speed and strength made me feel a sense of déjà vu.
By the way, it was King Xian, who bathed in the soup pool that time, and King Xian also used such speed and strength to cut his wrists to take blood.
The pain came after realizing it, but I was no longer surprised by this kind of pain, and I saw that the blood quickly filled the bowl, and Cao Zhi took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his sleeve and spread a layer on my wound.
Duanwang ordered Cao Zhi to take the jade bowl, and Cao Zhi also put away the dagger by the way.
Before leaving, King Duan said to me: "Tomorrow, the queen mother will send someone to send a wedding dress, pay attention to the etiquette, and don't break the rules." ”
I was surprised and asked, "Now, does King Duan still want to marry me?" ”
King Duan sneered: "This king is married to Princess Xuanhu. ”
After seeing Duanwang and Cao Zhi leave, I sat at the table, and asked Guoguo to retreat when Duanwang came, and when Guoguo came again, he saw the wound on my wrist, screamed, and hurriedly ran to get the ointment.
"What are you going to do with this? Cao Zhi has already given me medicine. ”
There were a lot of tears in Guoguo's eyes, and she held my wrist and blew on it, still trying to apply ointment to me.
This girl may have held back too many questions, but at this time she finally couldn't hold it back, and asked with a crying voice: "What happened to the princess and King Duan?" Why does Duanwang want to ...... Want...... Didn't King Duan feel the most distressed about the princess in the past? ”
Things are different now. Since King Duan didn't announce the matter of my soul being settled, I can't tell anyone else about it, lest anyone who hears it get into any more trouble.
I smiled and told Guoguo: "We just had a fight, it's nothing, don't worry." ”
Guoguo shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just that if you quarrel, King Duan will never be so ruthless." ”
"What do you know? This is called a companion like a companion. King Duan will be the Emperor of Yeyou in the future, how can he always be merciful, it is always good to be ruthless, and nothing will be able to tie him up. ”
I was comforting Guoguo, but I was actually comforting myself.
Guoguo wiped away her tears and asked me, "Is the princess cold to the king of Duan?" ”
I was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The princess doesn't call Duanwang's name anymore."
It was as if something had passed through my heart, drawing a mark on my heart, and I looked at my wrist and smiled, and the one on my heart must be much shallower than the one on my hand.
