222 The Bird of the Cage
Holding her tightly, a little warmth finally slipped out of the corner of her eye and landed on her eyebrows.
Her body was cold again, and her breathing gradually subsided.
How so? Was he too late, but he clearly stopped her just as she was about to hit the hard wall......
Entering the true qi again, I saw that her expression changed suddenly, and blood slid from the corners of her lips, and there was also a dark color overflowing from her chest.
The light was dim, and she was dressed in dark and dark flowers, so that he didn't even notice that she had a wound on her chest, and the blood was oozing and congealing.
There was a momentary blank in the mind.
In the next moment, a murderous gaze swept towards the dead man, as if his corpse could be burned in an instant, and his bones were chopped to ashes.
Hurriedly ripped open the placket of his clothes......
In the dim light, there was a blur of bloodstains in front of him. The wound must have been caused many days ago, and it had been healed with good care, but there was no medical treatment in prison, so it gradually deteriorated and erosed, and now the wound is half-open and the edges are jagged. He didn't dare to test its depth, only to see blood slowly overflowing, condensing on the dried bloodstains, fixing the white jade lotus flower next to it, dyeing it blood-red.
There had never been anything that shocked him, nothing had ever made him feel at a loss, but at this moment, his hands were shaking so hard that he wanted to call her name, but his throat was choked, and he couldn't utter a word......
"It's okay......"
The man in his arms let out a soft sigh, his eyebrows tightened and tightened, and finally he didn't open his eyes.
He hurriedly took her hand...... That hand would have become hot.
"We'll go to the Imperial Doctor now......"
The small hand in the palm of his hand gently grasped his fingers: "No, it's okay, I just want to stay with you like this......"
He hesitated for a moment, testing that her pulse was gradually stabilizing, but it was still very weak, so he sat down with her in his arms again, adjusted his breath, and continued to inject true qi.
He was a little anxious just now, and he didn't know that she was injured, so the true qi poured into her heart, causing her blood to be confused. Now he was careful to avoid the main bloodline, and after a while, he felt that her body temperature was gradually returning to stability, but it was colder than his body.
Although she was weak, she insisted on putting her hand on the hem of his shirt, like every moment when she was helpless, grabbing him as if she had an important support.
The heart is soft and sour.
Hold her into her arms and let her feel his presence.
There is no need to speak, just keep it quietly.
The dust fluttered silently in the floating light, and this bleak picture seemed to be condensed for eternity.
But the sound of neat and hurried footsteps approached, breaking the silence.
The ground began to tremble at this footstep, and even the hearts of the people were shaken with it.
The quiet people were in an uproar, and the courage to testify against King Xiang had dissipated in the dust of excitement.
King Xiang, the means are vicious, if it is committed in his hands, he doesn't even know how to disappear.
I still remember that in the winter of the previous year, a civil official in the Ministry of Officials gave a message to the emperor because he wanted to promote a small official from another province, and the civil official disappeared the next day. No one knew where he was, and even his new wife said that he had gone to the ministry early in the morning, and it was very foggy.
Three months later, the villagers of Ruyang Village suddenly found a severed hand while plowing the land and hurriedly reported it to the government.
Carefully piecing it together, it happened to be a person, but only the head was missing, but looking at the various scars on the body, it made people deeply imagine what kind of abuse he had suffered before he died.
The head was never found, and when the civil official's wife heard the news, she immediately cried and fell to the ground. She said it was her husband because he had been bitten by a dog when he was a child on the index finger of his right hand and had a round scar.
The whereabouts of the head have always been a mystery, and the cause of the civil official's death is even more puzzling, but just last year, a nurse in the Xiangwang Mansion got drunk at his sister's wedding banquet, and proudly told how the Xiangwang asked him to rob a civil official who had just left home in the winter of a year ago, and then ......
All kinds of punishments were heinous, and then he cut the man alive piece by piece with a very blunt knife, and kept pouring ginseng soup to awaken the mind, just to prevent him from fainting, and slowly cut off the man's head while he still had a trace of breath. The corpses were thrown everywhere, and there were so many places that he couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered that his head was buried under the stone outside the east wall of the Yunxia Cloth Workshop in the west of the city.
The shopkeeper of Yunxia Cloth Workshop was on the spot, and when he heard that the wine was not finished, he ran home. One dig...... Really. He immediately sat down on the ground in fright, and then remembered that he liked to sit on this stone every summer day to cool off, and then he fell ill.
However, although the evidence was conclusive, no one dared to complain, and the nursing home disappeared later, and half a month later, a very chopped corpse appeared again in a field......
The voices began to be confused, and different eyes and different voices pointed obliquely or directly at Yuwen Xuancang.
The man in the snowcoat remained calm, as if he had not sensed the imminent danger.
People's hearts have gradually stabilized because of his quietness, but they are still concerned about the movement outside.
The guards and guards in the prison almost cried with joy as if they had met a rescuer, some of them flashing their swords at the prisoners, and some of them rushed to the door frantically.
The heavy iron door slowly opened with a rotten and dull groan, and a mist rolled and rushed behind the glittering armor, exuding excitement and flamboyance. The moonlight is like silver, washing the anger of the armor and bringing the fragrance of osmanthus in golden autumn.
The swords rang out in unison, and the sound was deafening.
"Welcome King Yu back to the palace!"
The sound moves the four walls, and the heart is intimidating.
Shocking reversal......
Everyone turned their eyes to King Yu again, straight or obliquely.
But seeing that the man in the snow suit was still faint, as if he had turned a deaf ear to this good news.
The leading general saw that there was no reaction from the people inside, and thought that he had not heard, so he stepped forward and saluted in the middle of the march, and the voices of the people sounded again: "Welcome King Yu back to the palace!" ”
The jailer finally saw that the wind was turning, and hurriedly turned around and ran inside.
But the man was still sitting motionless on the ground, looking down at the man in his arms.
After a fierce struggle of thoughts, Fang cautiously said: "Lord Wang, someone from the palace has come to pick you up." ”
The man's head turned slightly, as if a chill was coming out.
He hurriedly ducked, and then found nothing.
The sound of armor and the clanging of swords against the talisman iron pierced the silence.
The general had already entered the prison, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned at first, hurriedly lowered his head, and landed on one knee: "The armor is on the body, and the ministers cannot pay full salutes." The ministers were ordered by the saint to welcome King Yu back to the palace! ”
The speed of the voice seemed to be extremely slow, because after a long time, I saw that the person who seemed to be in a fixed position moved, but in addition to the robe on his body, he wrapped it around the person in his arms, and carefully arranged the person's sideburns, Fang Heng hugged him in front of him, and slowly got up.
His movements were so light, so slow, as if he was afraid of waking the man.
The moment King Yu passed by, the general secretly glanced at the motionless little man in his arms, but saw that the snow-clothed man stopped and stopped in front of him.
His heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and bowed, not daring to look at him again.
"Lord ......"
Behind him, a few sporadic trills hit the closed iron fence and called Yuwen Xuancang's footsteps.
His figure was slightly sluggish, but he didn't look back, embracing Su Jinling, walking towards the night mist churning under the moon, his posture was upright, and his steps were steady......
————————————————————
Yuwen Xuancang estimated everything well, but the only thing he didn't calculate was that the person standing at the gate of the palace to greet him was Yuwen Xuanyi.
On a cloudless night, the moonlight is like a wash, pouring a piece of light gold on the armor neatly arranged in front of the Chengtian Gate, folding out ten thousand points of starlight, but it can't take away a person's elegant and leisurely demeanor.
The man had a light robe with open sleeves, his belt was in the wind, one hand was behind him, and the other hand was turning a jade flute in front of him. The jade flute pulls the moonlight, like a lotus blooming quietly.
The ice is as dark as night and day, and the riot tonight and the bloody atmosphere looming in the air do not seem to have left a half-star stain on him, just like every night before leaving the palace, he meditated on the moon by the bar after drinking in the Moon Pavilion, and the corners of his lips were still hooked with the same indifferent smile, and the eyes that were half cold and half spring were calm and waveless, but it was difficult to hide the brilliance.
The armor around him was shining, like a bright star, and he stood quietly in front of the army, silent, and took all the wind and flow, just like the moon in the middle of the sky, surrounded by stars.
Yuwen Xuancang slowed down, but saw his jade flute tap on his palm and led the army forward.
"Brother Greetings King Yu back to the palace!"
His voice was clearer and calmer, as usual, as if he had not experienced the previous earth-shattering event led by him.
Yuwen Xuancang was silent for a moment, raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze was also calm: "This time, I want to thank King Qingning." ”
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and the smile was confusing: "King Yu really tortured his younger brother by saying this, King Yu risked his life and led the snake out of the hole, which is a great achievement!" ”
Yuwen Xuancang smiled softly and stepped forward.
"King Yu, please slow down!" Yuwen Xuanyi took a step forward and stopped in front of him, his eyes fell on the face of the person in his arms, and the smile was still the same: "It's just that if King Yu takes people in like this, I'm afraid that the merit will be overdone." ”
Yuwen Xuancang frowned lightly and looked at him coldly.
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled indifferently: "Su Jinling has a meritorious service in saving the driver, and he is eager to protect the master, and his loyalty can be demonstrated, but now the injury is dangerous, if he is not treated in time, I am afraid that he will ......."
"This king has used his luck to protect her heart......"
The eyes that are half cold and half spring are cold and shining.
Yuwen Xuancang, do you want to take her to ask the emperor for marriage like this? Even if you allowed King Xiang to throw you into the prison for the crime of killing the king and killing your father, and triggered this coup, it can be called meritorious, but now Su Jinling is no longer the day, you are really too ignorant to avoid the prison for half a month. I'm not worried that the emperor will be angry, nor am I worried that you will be convicted, I am only worried that if something happens to her because of you...... I just don't want to be angry......

Tonight, the Xiangwang Mansion was horrified to find that the King of Qingning, who had been as warm as a spring breeze in the past, had suddenly turned into a hellish Yama.
