Chapter 30: In the Prison
"Heh, what a Jiang country demon concubine, I see where else you can run."
In the deep jungle, dozens of black-clothed people jumped out at once, and they approached me with fierce expressions in their eyes, as if they would not turn back if they did not hack me to death this time.
The cold mountain wind blew away my impetuousness, and I was rarely quiet, staring at all the dangers in front of me.
I saw several men in black holding a man with a severed hand and a man in black with a limp foot, and I already understood that they were the two people I had just cut into the pit.
"Oh, what's the matter of dying, my Bai Qing's head hangs around my neck every day, death, it's just a matter of time, now I can pull a bunch of people to be buried with me, and my Bai Qing is not in vain."
I clenched the knife in my hand, and there was no way to escape.
But my backbone will not be willing to jump off the cliff and commit suicide, that is a martyr's act, I don't want to die at the hands of the enemy, and I am just a woman, I will not be so heroic, I will only have a thought at the last moment: that is, kill, how many can be killed, since I have to die horizontally and vertically, I don't want to be alone on Huangquan Road, even if I pull a few lackeys on my back.
The men in black were already afraid of my strategy, they didn't want to listen to my nonsense at all, and under the advice of the two men in black who had fought with me, dozens of men in black quickly approached me and surrounded me in an encirclement.
The cold sword, under the sound of flaunting martial arts and ping-pong around me, the sparks that struck out were particularly dazzling.
The more I fought, the more courageous I became, and in the confusion, I almost lost my hearing, except for the violent breathing of myself and the sound of ping-pong fighting, the yelling and invective of those men in black, I could no longer hear clearly.
Gradually, with the infinite loss of physical strength, my right arm was seriously injured, and even though I could no longer lift it, my blood was still swaying down my elbow.
The smell of blood clogs my sense of smell. My left shoulder was cut off again, and I was bleeding profusely.
I don't know the pain, I cut down people when I see them, I kill people when I see them, and I am fearless like a man of God, not afraid of being hurt, just to kill.
Someone tripped my feet with ropes, and in the middle of a stumble, I cut off the head of a man in black.
The eighth, there are already eight lives leading the way in front of me!
With all my strength, I shot my knife at a man in black who was charging at me as I fell.
That's the ninth, I Bai Qing no longer have the strength to fight, I lie straight to the ground, I still want to fight again, I still want to kill, and I want to send a few people down to lead the way for me before I die, but unfortunately, I can't even use the strength to raise my hand.
On the ground, there were sounds of footsteps, I couldn't tell if it was someone approaching here or the sound of the men in black, I seemed to hear someone calling my name, but I tried to open my eyes, and what I saw was a big knife that was slashing straight at my face.
At this moment, I closed my eyes resignedly, until death really came, since I accepted it so calmly, there was no previous fear, no fear just now, no idea of revenge, just feeling so tired and sleepy......
For a long time, I didn't feel any pain, but I felt as if my body was off the ground and had a feeling of sublimation.
Perhaps, the dead don't know pain, and now I may have been separated, and after I die, I may have been dismantled by them.
My current sublimation feels that my soul has left my body, and I have done a lot of evil, and I don't know if I will go to heaven or hell after I die.
I guess I'll be sent to the eighteenth layer of purgatory.
"Bai Qing! Bai Qing! ”
In my ears, it seemed that someone was calling my name, which was very familiar, but I did not have the strength to open my eyes.
"Bai Qing, your life is mine, I won't let you die, you must not die."
This is?
The person who can call himself me, is it Xuanyuan Yi? Or is it Situ Zhen?
In a haze, I felt ashamed that I would still think of Situ Zhen when I died, and instinctively moved my fingers, feeling as if I had caught something.
It's something smooth, delicate to the touch, just the right temperature, as if it can melt my cold heart and warm my deepest darkness.
What is this, exactly?
Am I dead?
Eventually, my consciousness disappeared completely.
When I woke up, I saw mud walls in front of me.
I reached out and grabbed it, and all I caught was dry straw.
It's a little cold here, and the environment is still very harsh, but my body is covered with a thick quilt that covers my body temperature.
Looking sideways, there are more than ten iron rods not far away, which are densely arranged in a row, linked up and down in the mud wall, forming a cage.
No, that's the cage!
"Hiss......"
I sat up immediately, only to scream at the pain in my shoulders and arms.
When I looked down, I saw that my left shoulder and right hand were tightly wrapped in gauze.
On my body, the clothes that should have been torn have been replaced by prison uniforms, which are still clean and not as old as I imagined.
I touched my face, it was covered with bumps, I cut my face in the jungle, and I was injured in the fight with the man in black, and I must have left a scar on my face.
But these scars will hurt, which proves that I am still alive.
I got out of bed, looking at the cage, although I also thought of the reason, but the voice that stayed in my memory, why did it make me feel so warm? To this day, I still find that sound heartwarming.
It's Xuanyuanyi, right?
It should have been at the last moment that Xuanyuan Yi arrived, otherwise I wouldn't have woken up in the prison.
Yes, this should be the heavenly prison, except for the heavenly prison under Luoxia Mountain, I can't think of a second such place.
"Is Concubine Jiang awake?"
Outside the cage, a familiar face appeared, and I recognized it as a big mandarin duck at a glance.
When I was taken away by Jiang Ren, I let the big mandarin duck return to Fu Jinyue's side, because I guessed that I was in prison, and it would be more useful for the big mandarin duck to stay with the queen than to stay by my side.
But why is she here today? Even if she changed her identity with Little Mandarin Duck, she should stay in the cold palace, why did she appear here?
"Someone, open the door." The big mandarin duck's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and when he saw my awakening, it seemed that he had finally let go of a stone in his heart.
She had the cell door opened, carrying a plate of wound medicine, and rubbing the medicine for me without saying a word.
"The queen arranged it?"
Since this is a prison, I'm not familiar with the environment, and even if it's just the two of us in the cage, I won't be able to explain it clearly.
The big mandarin duck has been following me for a while, and even if I say half of it, she should be able to understand it.
"Well, the queen learned that Concubine Jiang was ambushed, and she begged the emperor to send me to the prison." The big mandarin duck replied.
According to her meaning, she should have left the palace in her own identity, that is to say, in the current cold palace, the little mandarin duck has disappeared.
"Why not Xiaohuan?" I asked suspiciously, Xiaohuan is my maidservant, Fu Jinyue is not stupid, it doesn't seem wise to send a big mandarin duck at this juncture.
"Yesterday, the envoys of Jiang Guo have arrived in Liangguo, and they asked about Niangniang as soon as they came, and Jiang Guo has learned that Niangniang was beaten into the cold palace, and the envoys are interceding for Niangniang, and the emperor also took out the recent rumors in the palace to say things, but the disaster is not good for Xiaohuan, so he asked Xiaohuan to receive those Jiang envoys."
As he spoke, the big mandarin duck looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he ripped off my clothes and applied medicine to the wound on my left shoulder.
"Hmm!"
I endured cold sweat on my forehead, the wound was very deep, and although the bleeding had stopped, it was still painful.
"The mother suffered."
The big mandarin duck's eyes showed regret, and the movements of his hands were gentle again, as if they were afraid of hurting me.
"Leave me alone, hurry up." After all, I am my daughter's family, and the environment of the prison is too poor, and I don't know when someone will come, so I have to endure the pain and finish the medicine as soon as possible.
"Am I in a coma for a long time?" I asked.
"It's been three days." The big mandarin duck replied.
Three days?
I was a little stunned, knowing that I was seriously injured, but I didn't expect that I would sleep for three days as soon as I slept.
Before this, I had already thought of a way to solve the stone statue of the burial concubine forest, and the reason why I came to the prison was to confuse the person who set up the bureau, so that she would be careless and lose Jingzhou and expose some flaws.
According to the plan, after I was imprisoned, Fu Jinyue should take action, and now that I have slept for three days in a row, I am afraid that even if Fu Jinyue notices something, she will not act rashly.
"By the way, how is Lord Jiang?" I asked casually.
"Lord Jiang was seriously injured and has returned home to recuperate, but fortunately, Lord Jiang is in good health, and it is said that he is awake this morning."
Jiang Ren's injuries are not as much as mine, but he has lost too much blood, and I am afraid that he is not much lighter than me.
Now that I hear the big mandarin duck say that he is no longer worried about his life, I am also a little relieved.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the anti-intermittent trick I used against Xiaohuan three months ago broke out at the same time, which caused Jiang Ren to make a mess of the whole thing, I'm afraid that many things need to be considered in the long run.
Originally, according to my original meaning, I would first leave the cold palace with the help of Jiang Guo's power, and then Fu Jinyue would return to the harem with the help of Concubine Wu's trust, if there was no stone statue incident, I should have returned to the harem safely now.
But at the moment, the matter of the stone statue is more important, and after the big mandarin duck finished taking the medicine, I looked back and said, "Go back and inform the queen." ”
I didn't say anything directly, I thought that Fu Jinyue should know what to do when she heard me wake up.
"Hmm."
The big mandarin duck didn't stay in the prison for too long, and after a short period of talking about the things of the past few days, he left here.
I looked back at the small window above the cage, looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's already evening, I don't know if tomorrow, I can use these two things to successfully get out of the cold palace, and Fu Jinyue, it is time to let her go back to the harem as soon as possible.
