Thirty-nine, death is coming

She held the copper coin in her hand. Afraid of losing it, I walked along the street for a long time, and when I looked up, I don't know when, there were a few more beggars in front of me. The beggars were looking at her. Two of them also showed lewd smiles.

\ painting, she really has no way to live.

Both horizontally and vertically are dead. Since it's death, why not give yourself a way to live.

Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate any longer, and her whole body seemed to have strength, and she got up and walked towards Qianhong Courtyard.

Qianhong Courtyard, the most famous gold cave on Jinding Street in the past, is now like an old man, standing alone in the west wind.

Walking to the edge of Qianhong Courtyard, Wan Zhenniang felt creepy, she comforted herself, plucked up her courage, and walked into Qianhong Courtyard.

It was pitch black in the attic, and there was no sound at all. She crept in, only to feel that there seemed to be invisible eyes staring at her.

Fortunately, she knew all the furnishings in the Thousand Red Courtyard, and she quickly walked to the second floor. When she reached the second floor, she emboldened herself again and stretched out her hand to push the so-called haunted house open.

What made her feel unbelievable was that in this room, a candle was lit in an instant. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't scream when the words reached her throat. At this moment, the fear in her heart was already understood.

Could it be that what Sister Phoenix said before her death is true? Is this room really a haunted house? Or is Sister Phoenix's grievances lingering, and when she saw that she came back to steal something, she deliberately lit a candle to scare herself?

She read in her heart: Sister Phoenix, don't blame me, I can't live either, so I made this decision. If they could live, who would want to come here?

She looked at the paintings on the walls through the candle shadows. I don't know when the painting has been taken away. The bowl behind the painting is still shining.

Wan Zhenniang's heart suddenly excited: If she can get this golden bowl, I am afraid it is more valuable than that painting!

Without thinking much about it, she rushed forward, stretched out her hand, and took the golden bowl with all her might. The golden bowl was firmly fixed in the stone niche, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it off.

Just when she thought it was a ghost, she suddenly remembered that Jian Huaizhen and the others couldn't take down the golden bowl that day. Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned the golden bowl left and right. At this time, a heavy stone door appeared in front of him, and it was slowly opened.

Behind the stone gate, there are long steps. This was the secret room she had been to that day.

It stands to reason that there is no one in the secret room. But for some reason, she looked in and saw a dim light peeking out.

At this moment, she had been carried away by the gold and silver, and had long forgotten her fear, and she thought to herself: Could it be that someone put the silver that she didn't have time to bring out into the secret room?

With this thought, she couldn't help but go inside. With every step she took, she was careful not to see something she didn't dare to see.

Slowly walking into the secret room, what greeted her was not gold and silver jewelry, but a person.

It's a man.

A down-and-out teenage man.

"You...... Are you a ghost? Wan Zhenniang's heart jumped with fright, pointing at the man, almost speechless.

The man looked up. Under the candlelight, Wan Zhenniang saw his youthful face.

A very delicate man, with flying eyebrows and a few wisps of arrogance at the corners of his mouth. It's just that a pair of eyes bulge outward, the cheekbones are high, and the whole person looks weak, obviously because he has been abused.

"Who are you?" Wan Zhenniang plucked up her courage and asked.

The young man sat still on the stone couch, refusing to say a word. It seems that Wan Zhenniang's existence can't be seen in his eyes at all.

Wan Zhenniang felt that this situation was too weird, and she didn't want to stay in this secret room anymore, so she turned around and walked up the steps and ran out of the door. But as soon as she reached the edge of the stone door, it was shut.

"Huh?" Wan Zhenniang's eyes widened, her eyes were full of horror and confusion: "How can this be? Why is this happening? ”

A dark voice came in: "Don't you really want to come in?" You'll be here for a long time. "The sound is terrifying to the human ear.

"Who are you..... Why are you doing this? Are you a human or a ghost? Wan Zhenniang asked with a crying voice.

"Hahahahaha......" The man smiled gloomily and said coldly: "The so-called heaven has a way for you not to go, and hell has no door for you to break into, what can I do?" It's your life, your life! ”

A scene suddenly flashed in Wan Zhenniang's mind, and she immediately knew who this person was. This person is the person who trapped the eldest princess and her party in this secret room that day, including herself. That person's methods, she had seen before, that is, even the eldest princess and that group of martial arts masters were almost planted in his hands, not to mention herself.

"Why is this happening? Aren't you gone? Why are you still hiding in the Thousand Red Temple? Wan Zhenniang couldn't help but ask.

"You woman is stupid and pitiful. Haven't you heard a word? The most dangerous place is the safest place. The people outside looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I'm just....... Just want to come in and get something, what the hell do you want? What about me? Wan Zhenniang said cautiously.

The people outside sneered: "As long as you stay in the secret room honestly, I won't do anything to you." But if you try to escape, you won't survive! ”

Wan Zhenniang was terrified when she saw that man was so fierce and vicious, so she had to walk up the stairs into the secret room again.

"Hey, you serve that young man well. Young man, enjoy yourself, you don't have a few days to live anyway. After saying that, the gap was blocked, and the voice of the man could no longer be heard.

Wan Zhenniang finally knew that what she met today was a person and not a ghost, and her heart was better. But in the current situation, I don't know how many days I have left.

Thinking of this, she calmed down. If you fall on the streets and are bullied by others, you will also have a life of no tomorrow today. Now trapped in this secret room, in addition to not being able to move, at least there is food and clothing, but there is no need to worry about livelihood.

She glanced at the withered young man, and suddenly remembered that the eldest princess had brought people here that day to search for the whereabouts of the crown prince. Could it be that the person in front of him is the crown prince of the current dynasty and the future emperor?

Wan Zhenniang's eyes suddenly widened.

She saw an opportunity.

A chance to be born again.

Over the years, she has lived in the Qinglou, making a living by sprinkling and sweeping, and her life is comfortable. Although it was hard, she was not afraid. Later, the evil Gu Fenghuang actually asked her to pick up guests, and she was lucky, the first guest was Yu Mian. Yu Mian protects her, and she likes him.

She went to Yu Mian with great longing, wanting to take refuge in him, serve him, and repay him, but in the end? In the end, only one person ended up on the streets, poor, bullied, and worse than dead.

She's had enough of these days!

She didn't want to live like this for the rest of her life!

She must think of a child, fly on the branches and become a phoenix!

Let all of them. Including the dead Gu Fenghuang, the hooligan beggars on the streets, the old lady of the Yu Mansion, and Yu Mian, who abandoned her, looked at her with admiration.

Wan Zhenniang took a few steps forward, sat down beside the crown prince, didn't say a word, held her face and cried to herself.

On the day when the crown prince Zhu Jianshen was captured, he felt that he suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and suffered endless torture from body to spirit. Therefore, I already felt that everything was lost, and I was just waiting to die.

Wan Zhenniang began to come in, and he didn't let her go. A person who lives without faith does not care about anything. But when she started crying, it was different.

No man wants to watch a woman cry. Although Zhu Jianshen is only seventeen years old and is a high-ranking prince, he has always been kind-hearted, soft-hearted, and well versed in the affairs of men and women. He glanced at Wan Zhenniang and said, "Why are you crying?" ”

Wan Zhenniang cried like a pear blossom with spring rain, and said with tears rippling: "The slave family originally just wanted to go back to Qianhong Courtyard to get a piece of clothing, but they didn't want to be caught in this ghost place. I don't know how many days I can live, who can I change without crying? The more she talked, the more excited she became, and the more she cried.

From this moment on, Wan Zhenniang is no longer a gentle and weak Wan Zhenniang, she has become a person with great means.

Her words made Zhu Jianshen feel a little guilty, no matter what, she was affected by Zhu Jianshen before she was in bondage. Zhu Jianshen didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to let her cry.

Wan Zhenniang cried for a while, then stopped crying. She had been in the Thousand Red Courtyard for so long, and she had never seen any kind of means. On weekdays, she just doesn't have the mind to calculate, if she really wants to calculate people's hearts, others may not be her opponents.

"I'm the one who bothered you." Zhu Jianshen sighed and said, "If it weren't for you seeing me, you wouldn't have to die with me." ”

Wan Zhenniang shook her head and said, "How can I blame you." I don't know who you are, but when I talk to you, I know you're a good person. Dying here today is just my life, nothing more than anyone, you don't have to feel too guilty. ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard this, he felt that Wan Zhenniang understood the righteousness. The women he saw in the palace were either honey-bellied swords, or they had exhausted their calculations, and there had never been a woman as elegant and dignified as Wan Zhenniang, who knew the righteousness.

Zhu Jianshen sighed and said, "Alas, I will die sooner or later anyway, but I didn't expect it to affect you." The little lady next to me...... The little guy has been killed by them. I don't think I'll survive either. ”

Wan Zhenniang thought about it, stretched out her hand, held his hand, and said softly: "Don't be discouraged, let's think about it again." I believe that there is no way for us to escape. ”

Wan Zhenniang looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but in fact she was thirty-four years old, and she understood that if she wanted to touch the heart of the young crown prince in front of her, she had to use both tenderness and make him completely fascinated by herself.

Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly: "You just came in, and you don't know yet." I've been trapped here for a month or two, and I haven't been able to escape. ”

Wan Zhenniang blinked, her long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and she asked softly, "You are here on weekdays, but someone is watching you all the time?" ”

"Not really. It's just that two meals are delivered every day. They didn't spy on me, because they didn't think I could escape. Zhu Jianshen said helplessly. He was trapped in a cage and hadn't spoken for a long time. Now it is rare to meet Wan Zhenniang, who can talk so speculatively, so naturally she will not stop talking to her.

Wan Zhenniang smiled and said, "That's good, I may have a way to escape." We're resting tonight, and tomorrow we'll have the strength to do more after the food they brought us. ”

Zhu Jianshen thought that Wan Zhenniang was just comforting him, but he didn't take it to heart. The two of them talked for a while, and then lay down to sleep. Because men and women don't kiss, Zhu Jianshen politely let Wan Zhenniang sleep on the bed. But Wan Zhenniang insisted on refusing.

She gave him the bed on the grounds that he had been trapped in a secret room for many days and was weak. Lie on the stone table by yourself to deal with the night.

At noon on the second day, someone brought food. The meal was also very rich, with fish, meat and vegetables, and the person who delivered the meal said coldly: "If you have it, eat it quickly." It won't be long before I can't eat if I want to. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that the food was abundant, and when he heard the man's words, he thought that his death was approaching, and where could he still eat. Wan Zhenniang was already hungry, and when she saw that there was food, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised her chopsticks to eat.

After eating for a while, she remembered Zhu Jianshen and her plan, so she said softly: "You can eat some anyway." Anyway, trust me, I'm going to find a way to get us out. ”

Zhu Jianshen was persuaded by Wan Zhenniang to reluctantly eat a few bites.

After eating, Wan Zhenniang didn't speak for an afternoon. Zhu Jianshen is also listless, trapped in such a place where he does not see the light of day, what else can he do except sit and eat and wait for death?

Wan Zhenniang was thinking about how to open the stone couch. She knew that there was a passage under the stone couch. But the stone couch is very heavy, and it was lifted by four martial arts masters that day, just by virtue of her and Zhu Jianshen, if you want to lift it, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

In the evening, when someone brought food, she asked Zhu Jianshen to beat herself hard. Zhu Jianshen couldn't bear it, but seeing that she was resolute, she still did it.

Zhu Jianshen beat Wan Zhenniang, and Wan Zhenniang let out a cry of pain. When the person who delivered the meal saw it, he asked, "Don't you want to live anymore?" ”

Zhu Jianshen said according to the words handed to him by Wan Zhenniang: "You have locked up Lao Tzu for so long, it's rare to have a woman who can vent my anger, and I can't fight?" You'd better find a thick iron rod at once, and I'll teach this woman who doesn't know the rules a lesson. Even my favor dared to refuse, it was purely impatient to live.

The people outside only thought it was Zhu Jianshen who saw a woman at first glance and was lewd. Sex is big, and I didn't think about it anywhere else. He was very impatient and said, "You give me the one who treats me honestly." How many days can you live. ”

Zhu Jianshen still followed what Wan Zhenniang handed over to him: "Anyway, I will die sooner or later, can't I be happy before I die?" Well, since you don't promise me, there's no point in my life, I'll die now.

It is still useful for the people outside to keep Zhu Jianshen, so naturally they can't just watch him die. But Zhu Jianshen's actions today made him feel very strange. So, he opened the mechanism of the stone door and walked in slowly.
