One, four, three, killer intent
What he didn't expect was that at this moment, Wan Zhen'er was sitting leisurely in the City God's Temple, and the killer was standing beside her, looking at her expressionlessly, and Wan Zhen'er was not afraid at all.
Because the killer had already received 10,000 taels of silver from him, and the killer was the killer invited by Gu Lengyi before, and what she did today was nothing more than wanting to set up a game with the emperor.
She discussed this with the emperor before, Gu Lengyi first invited a killer to capture her in the broken temple, and then ushered in Yu Mian's design, and then let the killer catch Yu Mian again, so that Jian Huaizhen and others would not think that it was Zhu Jianshen's idea, and after the killer caught Yu Mian, he could use this to blackmail Jian Huaizhen and ask for the golden jade staff back.
Wan Zhen'er has done so much, it can be described as painstaking, originally the emperor wanted the golden jade staff, they could directly invite a killer and let the killer directly capture Yu Mian, but they didn't do it.
The reason why Wan Zhen'er let the killer catch herself first was nothing more than a selfish intention, she wanted to test whether Yu Mian had herself in her heart, if Yu Mian was willing to go to the meeting for her alone, it would mean that in Yu Mian's mind, her status was very important, Yu Mian was willing to live for her, willing to die for her, and willing to go to the soup for her.
If Yu Mian refuses to go to the meeting alone, then it means that she has no status in Yu Mian's heart, and secondly, it also shows that Yu Mian is really not worthy of her love, and she has been dead to Mian since then, so she set up such a bureau and made such a move.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen didn't think of it so much, he only thought that Wan Zhen'er was wholeheartedly trying to seize the golden jade scepter for himself, how did he know that Wan Zhen'er was interested in the crown.
And according to the plan, it was carried out in an orderly manner, and at night, Yu Mian really came to the City God Temple three miles east of the city alone, the City God Temple was very dilapidated, and there were faint lights shining out of the temple.
Yu Mian tiptoed over, looked inside, and saw Wan Zhen'er tied to the ground alone, the expression on her face was very painful, obviously very scared and frightened.
Yu Mian couldn't help but skip a trace of pity in his heart, this kind of pity was just pity for his friends, and it definitely didn't contain any personal feelings for his children.
Yu Mian pushed the door and walked in after a little hesitation outside, Wan Zhen'er looked at him, her face suddenly became very excited, she held back the excitement in her heart, and shouted: "Yu Mian!" ”
Yu Mian waved his hand at her and nodded, meaning to say, "You don't have to worry, I'm already here, and you won't be in danger." ”
Wan Zhen'er's eyes were suddenly full of tears, although she had already thought that Guo Mian might come, but she also made the worst preparations, that is, Yu Mian would not care about her life or death at all, because if this situation happened, if Zhu Jianshen was replaced, Zhu Jianshen would definitely not come.
So she didn't have a lot of hope in her heart, but in fact, Yu Mian really came, so when she saw Yu Mian, she was inevitably excited.
Yu Mian looked around, and saw that the City God Temple was already very dilapidated, with ruins and broken links everywhere, the walls were covered with cobwebs, and the pillars and beams had been eaten by moths into large holes one by one, but there was a candle lit in the City God Temple, obviously the killer had come.
Yu Mian walked up to Wan Zhen'er and wanted to untie the rope for her, while asking softly, "What about the thief?" ”
Wan Zhen'er shook her head blankly and said, "The thief locked me up here and left alone, I wanted to escape, but I was tied up by him, so I couldn't escape." ”
Yu Mian nodded and said, "I'll get you out now." ”
The knot tied to Wan Zhen'er's hand is a dead knot, no matter how you untie it, the two of them were anxious, and suddenly a cold voice said: "Okay, Yu Mian, you are finally here, you two can't escape today, just sit here with a pair of bitter mandarin ducks!" ”
Yu Mian looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard standing in front of him, Yu Mian looked at that person and was stunned, and asked for a long time: "Who are you, what enmity do I have with you?" ”
The man said coldly: "I don't have any grudge with you, but my father has a great grudge with your Yu Qian and Yu Ge Lao, and it was your father Yu Qian Yu Ge Lao who killed my father, so I must pay for my father today." ”
Yu Mian shook his head and said: "Brother Tai, it's not right for you to say that, my father Yu Qian Yu Ge has never done a thing that is ashamed of himself and his conscience of heaven and earth, everything he does is for the people of Dawn, all for the sake of the country, I think you must have misunderstood him, besides, your father must have been an official before, and it is inevitable that there will be fights in the court for officials, this is not an uncommon thing, if this is regarded as a grievance and hatred, what else can there be between people?" ”
The bearded killer didn't expect Yu Mian to say such a thing, he was a little stunned, and only said after a while: "No matter what you say, in short, this revenge will not be avenged, and you will not be a man!" ”
"Well, since you say so, then I won't say anything, I'll pay you for killing it, but she."
He pointed at Wan Zhen'er and said, "She is innocent, she is Wan Guifei of the dynasty, not from my family, did you let her go?" ”
Wan Zhen'er was very excited at this moment, she saw that Yu Mian actually risked her life to beg the killer to let her go, and two tears flowed down her cheeks.
She said sadly: "If you want to kill, kill together, and release if you want to release together!" ”
The killer was slightly stunned, he didn't know how to fight for a while, what they were going to say had already been discussed with Gu Lengyi, but Wan Zhen'er obviously didn't have this sentence, she suddenly said this, but the killer couldn't react for a while.
Wan Zhen'er didn't realize that she had said the wrong thing at all, and the killer said slowly after a while: "Okay, the man stays, and the woman goes." ”
After speaking, he stretched out the knife in his hand and cut off the rope that tied Wan Zhen'er's hands, Wan Zhen'er looked at him a little blankly, and it took a while to understand that this was their original plan.
But now, she is reluctant to stay with the killer alone in this City God Temple no matter what, she is not worried that the killer will poison the crown, she is only worried about the emperor Zhu Jianshen, she knows that Zhu Jianshen's hatred for the crown is really repeated, and it has been hated to the point of no return.
He hated Yu Mian and Tang Jingran for being in love, and hated Yu Mian, Jian Huaizhen scolded him because of Yu Mian's matter, if he left like this, Zhu Jianshen changed his mind and didn't exchange Yu Mian for Jian Huaizhen's golden jade staff, but killed Yu Mian, what should it be?
So Wan Zhen'er resolutely stood beside Yu Mian and said to the killer firmly: "No matter what, the two of us will live together in life and die together, if you want to kill him, kill me first, right?" ”
After Wan Zhen'er finished speaking, he stood in front of Yu Mian, the killer was speechless for a long time, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to Wan Zhen'er, so as not to reveal the secret between the two people, he stood there with his hands behind his back for a long time without speaking.
Thankfully, he had a beard all over his face, so his expression wasn't easy to spot.
After a long time, Wan Zhen'er suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked him: "Have you thought about it, do you want to let us go together, if you don't let us go together, you will kill me first, I am the concubine of the dynasty, if you kill me, you will not live." ”
"Let him go!" Wan Zhen'er said to the killer.
The killer glanced at Wan Zhen'er, the expression on his face became a little suspicious, he didn't know why Wan Zhen'er changed so quickly, originally, it was obvious that he sent someone to hire him, lured Yu Mian here, and wanted to use it for the crown to seize Jian Huaizhen's golden jade staff, but it didn't take long for her to change her mind immediately, her unpredictable personality made the killer feel a little incredible, so for a while the killer didn't know what to do.
Wan Zhen'er quietly looked at the killer and said, "You let him go, if you don't let him go, this palace will definitely not let you go." ”
The killer doesn't know what to do when he thinks about it.
Wan Zhen'er continued: "You let him go, as long as you let him go, the silver taels given to you by this palace will never be recovered." ”
When the killer saw her say this, his heart settled down.
He nodded and said, "Since you say so, then I don't have anything to say." Then he pointed to the outside and said, "Go." ”
This change made Yu Mian feel very strange, obviously it was the killer who captured Wan Zhen'er before, and wanted to blackmail himself to come here to save her, but not long after, the killer suddenly changed his face and stood on the same front as Wan Zhen'er, this change was so fast that Yu Mian was also deeply stunned.
But at this moment, he can't care so much, the urgency of the delay is that he and Wan Zhen'er can leave here as soon as possible, if the killer regrets it, I'm afraid it's too late, thinking of this, Yu Mian pulled Wan Zhen'er and said, "Let's go first!" ”
Wan Zhen'er smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "You go, I can't leave for the time being." ”
"Why can't you go?" Yu Mian felt that Wan Zhen'er's change was too unexpected for him.
Wan Zhen'er didn't say a word, and only lowered her head and whispered after a while: "You go quickly, don't ask me again, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Yu Mian stood in front of Wan Zhen'er and said: "No, since I am here to save you today, as long as you don't leave, I won't leave anyway, if you want to go, you will go together, if you want to stay, you will stay together, and if you want to die, you will die together." ”
Wan Zhen'er heard Yu Mian say this, and she suddenly felt very excited in her heart, she didn't know why Yu Mian would do this, obviously Yu Mian didn't like herself before, but why did she want to live and die with herself now? It turned out that he could not only live and die with Tang Jingran, but also with himself.
Wan Zhen'er felt a kind of ecstasy in her heart, looking at Yu Mian for a long time and was speechless.
Yu Mian came into contact with her fiery gaze and said to her: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just regard you as my friend, and I feel very sorry for you before, so I want to rescue you this time anyway." ”
When Wan Zhen'er heard him say this, her warm heart suddenly became cold.
She glanced at Yu Mian, and said with some sadness in her eyes: "You are like this, I don't need your sympathy, you better go first!" ”
After speaking, she pushed Yu Mian outside the City God Temple.
Yu Mian didn't know what to do for a while, but he had a thought in his heart, that is, no matter what happened to him, he couldn't leave Wan Zhen'er here alone, after all, she was just a lonely weak woman, that is, someone she didn't usually know, and he Yu Mian would do the same when he encountered this situation, not to mention that Wan Zhen'er was someone he was familiar with? What's more, Wan Zhen'er has always been Zhu Jianshen's imperial concubine, if she can save Wan Zhen'er, maybe Zhu Jianshen will be grateful to herself, and she will not target herself everywhere in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen took a step forward and said: "I won't leave no matter what, no matter what, if you want to go, we will go together, and if you want to stay, we will stay together." ”
Wan Zhen'er saw that Yu Mian was so pedantic at this time, she rubbed her hands anxiously and didn't say anything for a long time.
She tugged at Yu Mian's shirt and said, "You go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late to leave after a while." ”
Yu Mian stood there proudly, towering like a mountain, although he was only a weak scholar, but the kind of momentum he showed was beyond the reach of people who had practiced martial arts.
Wan Zhen'er didn't know whether to be moved by his affection or to laugh at his pedantry at this moment.
In short, one of her hearts rises and falls, ups and downs, one will hang on the willow branches on the top of the moon, and the other will fall in the middle of the lake with stump and lotus, and there are thousands of tastes in her heart for a while, but she doesn't know what to say.
At this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded at the door of the City God Temple, and then a somewhat strangely dressed person walked in.
The man walked with a limp and a twist, looking yin and yang between his gestures, and even more with lotus fingers in his hands, it turned out that it was none other than Lin Jian'an, the head of the inner court.
After Lin Jian'an walked in, he smiled sadly and said, "Niangniang, when the old slave came in just now, he unfortunately heard something that he shouldn't have heard. ”
Wan Zhen'er raised her eyebrows, glared at him, and said, "What did you hear just now, you don't want to threaten this palace with these things, if this palace is so easy to be threatened by you, how can it stand tall in this palace for so long." ”
When Lin Jian'an listened to Wan Zhen'er's words, he naturally had a cold momentum, after he listened, he only felt a little shiver in his heart, he knew that he still had some handles held by Wan Zhen'er, so every time he saw Wan Zhen'er talking to him, he inevitably felt a little restless in his heart.
But now he thought that he had seized the evidence that Wan Zhen'er wanted to let Yu Mian go, so he could use this to blackmail her, but he didn't expect that Wan Zhen'er wouldn't eat him at all.
Seeing such a situation, he knew that he might not be able to threaten Wan Zhen'er, so he laughed and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the old slave is just joking with Niangniang. ”
Wan Zhen'er glanced at him, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What are you, dare to joke with this palace." ”
Lin Jian'an was speechless for a long time after being humiliated by Wan Zhen'er's words, he looked at Wan Zhen'er for a long time before saying: "Okay, Niangniang, let's not talk about these things, since the emperor sent the old slave to take Yu Mian away, please let Niangniang go?" ”
"What? The emperor is going to take me away! Yu Mian stood there and rubbed for a long time, speechless, until now, he knew that he had been tricked, it turned out that someone had not arrested Wan Zhen'er.
Yu Mian pointed at Wan Zhen'er, his hands trembled slightly, he didn't believe that Wan Zhen'er would do such a thing, because even though Wan Zhen'er was not a person, he always felt that her heart was not bad, and she would not calculate herself.
Unexpectedly, she stayed in this deep palace for a long time, and she learned to deceive and intrigue, and she also used a lot of scheming and means for herself, which made Yu Mian very unacceptable for a while, because he regarded Wan Zhen'er as a friend from beginning to end, but Wan Zhen'er's change really made him feel a little abrupt.
And the reason why Wan Zhen'er offered such a strategy to Zhu Jianshen at the beginning was nothing more than hoping to use this to find out whether Yu Mian was interested in her, and it turned out that Yu Mian was really a humble gentleman.
Wan Zhen'er didn't know how to explain to Yu Mian for a while, she only felt a thousand things, but she didn't know what to say, and she looked at Yu Mian and said sorry to him for a while.
Yu Mian also looked at her, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and he asked firmly: "Why, why did you do such a thing, what kind of resentment do I have with you that can't be resolved, and you want to frame me like this?" ”
"I didn't!" Wan Zhen'er shook her head.
Only now did she realize how wrong the decision she had made at the beginning, if not, Wan Zhen'er turned her face to look at Lin Jian'an, and ordered him to say: "You let Yu Gongzi go immediately, otherwise the palace will definitely not let you go." ”
Lin Jian'an saw that Wan Zhen'er's eyes were cracked at this moment, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of major stimulus, but he shook his head calmly and said: "I'm sorry, concubine Niangniang, forgive the old slave for not being able to obey your orders today, if I let Yu Mian go today, then the saint will definitely not let me go, and the old slave has no choice but to disobey the old slave once, if the mother feels that there is an old slave in her hand, then just say it to the emperor, what does it matter if the old slave dies." ”
When Wan Zhen'er used to see Lin Jian'an talking to her, she was respectful, but this time, she seemed to have no fear, knowing that he thought he had his own handle in his hand because he had overheard the conversation between him and Yu Mian just now.
Wan Zhen'er was simply furious at this moment, she was simply remorseful and hateful, on the one hand, she regretted that she had given the emperor such a bad idea.
And what made her regret was that she didn't expect Yu Mian to be so affectionate and righteous to herself, although it was not the kind of affection she longed for, but Yu Mian was always a well-known and upright man, which made her admire her very much, so she felt that Yu Mian should not be pulled into this struggle anyway.
Therefore, she continued to point at Lin Jian'an and threaten him: "If you don't let Yu Mian go, then this palace would rather die with you." ”
"All the same, Niangniang doesn't have to speak so seriously, why did Niangniang suddenly say such serious words to the old slave today? And it is also for the sake of the crown of the son, is the mother and the mother
