125. Huarong
There was only a small window half a foot square above the cell.
Chu Cheng sat on the damp hay, looking up just in time to see a few stars.
It's nice to have another sunny day tomorrow.
The weather is already getting warmer, but why does she still feel cold?
Chu Ji didn't know what to think, raised her hand and stroked the peony flower silver hairpin on her temples, she pulled it off and looked at it for a moment.
This is the hairpin that Lin Boqin gave her.
As a result, just like Chen Ziyang did with the Yun family, the once deep love vows have to turn into smoke?
No...... Lin Boqin and Chen Ziyang are different.
He's just blinded for a moment, and he'll believe in himself.
Chu Cheng blinked her moist eyes, raised her hand, and inserted the silver hairpin into her sideburns again.
She didn't know why, but the little hope in her heart, like a candle flame going out, always had expectations for Lin Boqin.
Chu Ji secretly made up her mind, as long as Lin Boqin believed her...... And she told him all the truth.
He designed himself, misunderstood himself, and she didn't care about it anymore.
As long as...... He believes.
Just thinking like this, there was a sudden soft sound at the door, and Chu Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Boqin was coming.
But when he listened carefully, he was not familiar with the sound of footsteps, his face was slightly condensed, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, lowered his voice, and said coldly: "Who is it?" ”
"Madam, it's me and Master Gu."
Hu Yu's voice came quietly, and with a "click", he opened the cell door.
Gu Jingtong walked in with him, still carrying a heavy burden in his hand.
"You said that you too, how did you become a Jiangyang thief Jade Xuanji?" Gu Jingtong stuck the folding fan behind his neck, and took the key to open the lock for Chu Cheng.
Chu Ji listened to his complaining words, and looked at Hu Yu again, her heart was warm, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"Gu Jingtong, Hu Yu, I really didn't kill anyone, I didn't do anything evil."
Gu Jingtong took off the shackles for her three or two times, sighed and said: "If you haven't done it, you haven't done it, there are coils and dry food in the baggage, and Yang La has prepared a fast horse outside, your equestrian skills are good, take advantage of the darkness to go to the north, how far to run." After he finished speaking, he handed the burden to Chu Hui, and looked at her with complicated eyes, "How far to run, don't come back." ”
Chu Ji carried the burden and couldn't help but shed tears.
She pursed her lips and asked, "He...... Does he really not want to let me go at all? ”
In his eyes, she is such a vicious bad person? Or is he already resentful because she deceived him?
Gu Jingtong said after a while: "Don't ask." ”
In just three words, Chu Hui's unshed tears completely broke the embankment.
"Madam, Master Gu, don't delay." Hu Yu looked outside and urged.
Chu Cheng cried in front of Hu Yu, she was really embarrassed, she raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes fiercely, "Let's go." ”
Gu Jingtong had never seen Chu Cheng so sad.
He really couldn't understand how such a woman could be a river thief on the sea fishing paperwork.
But the official seal of the court on the sea fishing documents, as well as the arrest of Huo Ying who personally led people all over the world, made him have to believe it.
These outsiders are all suffering, and you can imagine how uncomfortable Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin are.
Going up the stairs of the prison is the corridor. Directly in front of the road is a corner, and there is a side door to the left, where Yang La's prepared horses are there.
Chu Cheng may be crying with tears in her eyes, the sky is too dark, she accidentally stepped on the air and almost rolled down the steps. Fortunately, Gu Jingtong was quick and pulled her.
Seeing her so depressed, Gu Jingtong couldn't help but say, "You said you, why did you pretend to be Peizhi's wife in the first place?" Do you regret it now? ”
Chu Cheng thought that now that he was gone, he would never see Lin Boqin again, and smiled bitterly and quipped to himself: "What's the use of regretting?" ”
It's not that she has given a heart and can never take it back.
At this moment, Hu Yu, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, stared wide-eyed, and looked ahead in shock.
Chu Cheng and Gu Jingtong followed his gaze, but saw that at the corner in front of the road, there was a person standing faintly.
“…… Admire. ”
Gu Jingtong said in amazement.
Chu Ji was also stunned, she didn't expect that Lin Boqin would appear here in the middle of the night. He's coming to see himself? Do you still want to torture you, or do you want to ...... Want to let her go?
The more Chu Cheng thought about it, the happier she became, and when she reacted, Gu Jingtong was still holding her, and immediately withdrew her hand.
Lin Boqin could hardly believe what he had just heard.
She regretted it.
She really regretted it!
He liked her so much that he was willing to do something rebellious for her, but she regretted it.
Lin Boqin was shouting frantically in his heart, but his face became more and more gloomy, holding on to a brown paper lamp, walking slowly, his cold and hard face was half-bright and half-dark in the light.
"Privately release the court to commit crimes, know the law and break the law, Gu Jingtong, Hu Yu...... What sin are you to blame? ”
Hu Yu had never seen Lin Boqin's expression, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, my subordinates know their mistakes, but ...... But Madame ......"
"It's Jade Xuanji."
Lin Boqin didn't look at Chu Cheng, but the tip of his tongue spit out these words coldly.
When Chu Cheng heard his words, she couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell down, and her body trembled slightly.
At this time, the small door on the left side of the corridor suddenly opened, but it was Yang La who stepped in, muttering: "Why do you put someone for so long, Hu Yu is really grind......ing" He suddenly looked up, just in time to see Hu Yu kneeling on the ground, Lin Boqin carrying a miserable yellow lamp, swaying in the night wind.
"Big ...... My lord. ”
Yang La was knocked on the ground and was stunned, he knelt on the ground in a hurry, bowing his head and not daring to speak.
Lin Boqin still didn't look at Chu Cheng.
He said coldly: "Yu Xuanji has good skills, hiding beside the official, and turning all the official's right-hand friends, classmates, and classmates against him." ”
Gu Jingtong couldn't help but step forward and explain: "Sheng Feng, it's not what you think. It's me and Hu Yu Yangla, thinking of my friend, and I don't want to see her beheaded......"
Lin Boqin interrupted him abruptly: "Imperial court prisoner! Cut according to the law! Gu Jingtong, as the official of Wangzhou Mansion, you know the law and break the law, and the crime will be added to the first degree! ”
Gu Jingtong was stunned.
He took two steps back, knelt down, and sighed: "The lower official knows his mistake, please punish the adult." ”
Lin Boqin's body swayed slightly, but he avoided it sideways, not being kneeling down from him, but he didn't help him up.
The night breeze is cool and the first is clear.
Chu Cheng didn't know how long she cried, she was almost sad and couldn't breathe. Seeing this, she raised her head, looked at Lin Boqin's familiar face, and said with a wry smile: "Lin Boqin, do you know what I was thinking before?" I wonder if I open the cell door and let me go...... It's you, how nice that would be. ”
Lin Boqin listened to her choked tone, his heart ached, and he held the prison key in his sleeve tightly.
Chu Cheng rarely cries, but every time she cries, her eyes are red like rabbits. Whoever looks at it can't help but feel pity.
He can't be soft-hearted.
So Lin Boqin closed his eyes and didn't look at her.
Chu Cheng was also very tired.
She turned around and walked towards the cell, not knowing what to think, and her steps stopped slightly.
"By the way, although you don't believe me, I still have to say...... I'm not Jade Xuanji, I didn't kill people and set fires. Chu Cheng wiped her eyes, held back the bitterness in her heart, and never looked back.
In the night, her slender figure is like a butterfly, fluttering. Lin Boqin watched her go away, the corners of his lips twitched, but he didn't stop her.
In fact......
In fact, he was only so angry when he saw Chu Cheng and Gu Jingtong getting too close, and she said that she regretted marrying her.
But the anger comes and goes quickly.
She is so good at martial arts, it's not impossible to knock him down, grab the horse and run away. Why...... Why go back to prison?
She said she wasn't Jade Xuanji...... Perhaps, really not?
Lin Boqin's mind was messy, he claimed to be smart, but now he seemed to be stuck in the abyss of the mire, and he couldn't get rid of it. However, if Huo Ying comes to get people, he will definitely ...... Will definitely intercede for her.
Although Gu Jingtong and Hu Yu Yangla committed a big crime, fortunately, only Lin Boqin knew about it.
The three of them thought that they were in a catastrophe, but Lin Boqin said that they should go back to sleep earlier.
Hu Yu was stunned: "Looking at the appearance of the adult, I thought he was going to arrest us in prison." ”
Gu Jingtong got up, dusted off his knees, and sighed: "What are you grabbing, he has a key in his hand, you haven't seen it?" Who would come to the prison in the middle of the night, at first glance, he wanted to release his wife, but he met us and messed up his plan. ”
His analysis was very reasonable, and Yang La frowned and said, "Then didn't we hurt Madame?" ”
Gu Jingtong shook his head: "Huo Ying should not arrive in Wangzhou in a few days, and during this period, we want to release Mrs. again." ”
***
However, Gu Jingtong miscalculated.
Huo Ying came very quickly, and it took three days to rush from Qianzhou to Wangzhou. Unexpectedly, late at night the next day, a burst of horses' hooves shattered the night, and Huo Ying, with a team of forbidden troops, came to kill and surrounded the entire government.
Lin Boqin didn't fall asleep, and when he heard the news, he immediately greeted him, but he was shocked and shocked in his heart.
Hu Yuyangla was on duty outside the door at night, Lin Boqin passed by the two of them, paused, stuffed a key to them, and said in a deep voice: "Let her escape quickly!" ”
The two of them reacted, almost in tears, and hurriedly went in the direction of the prison.
But they didn't expect that Huo Ying's forbidden army came so quickly, and before the two of them had time to dig out the key, there were guards in armor, guarding all the passages of the palace, which was airtight.
Lin Boqin came to the door of the palace and saw Huo Ying holding a double hammer, and his face was very serious.
Unexpectedly, beside him stood a middle-aged man with a white face and no need to be around forty, this person was wearing a purple satin shirt with a Fu character pattern, holding a whisk in his hand, and he looked very feminine.
When Huo Ying saw him, he immediately asked, "Where is Jade Xuanji now?" ”
Lin Boqin wanted to delay for some time, he lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Qin prisoner is locked in a prison, heavily guarded, and there is no way to escape, please rest assured, Lord Huo." ”
This regular answer surprised the middle-aged man beside Huo Ying, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "What? You're putting her in a messy place like a prison?! ”
Huo Ying's face also sank, "Lead me quickly!" ”
Lin Boqin really couldn't shirk it, and only hoped that Hu Yuyangla would let the people go, but he found that the government was full of forbidden troops, and he suddenly fell into an ice cellar.
The door of the prison was closed, and the middle-aged man seemed to dislike the smell of dampness, he pinched his nose and waved the dust to urge: "Open, open the door quickly!" ”
The jailers on the left and right immediately opened the cell door.
When the group entered the prison, they saw the woman sitting against the wall with her knees crossed.
The middle-aged man screamed "Ahh ”
Chu Cheng heard a familiar voice and raised her eyes in a daze, "Father-in-law Qin? ”
Huo Ying tore off the chains, and Qin Gao immediately went to help Chu Cheng up, turned his head and pointed at Lin Boqin and scolded: "If you don't have the eyesight, who asked you to lock the princess in such a place?" When our family returns to the palace, we will ask the emperor and queen to treat you well for the crime of disrespect! ”
Lin Boqin's mind went blank.
He looked at Chu Cheng in a daze, but Chu Cheng didn't look at him.
Huo Ying, who was on the side, was extremely happy, smiled heartily, and patted Lin Boqin's shoulder: "Lord Lin, I really didn't misunderstand you. You have found the princess and made a great contribution, and you will be indispensable for the official reward! ”
Lin Boqin took a long time before he reacted.
He frowned, and his voice was hoarse: "...... Princess? ”
Huo Ying replied with a smile: "Yes, this is Princess Huarong of the Dynasty." The case of Yu Xuanji is just an excuse, Lord Lin, I will explain this matter to you slowly later. ”
Qin Gao helped Chu Cheng out of the prison, passed by Lin Boqin's side, and snorted coldly at him: "You just wait to surrender your guilt!" ”
