Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sword

Back in his own hall, Yu'er called Jinxin, whispered a few words, and the latter went out. About the time to touch the three sticks of incense, Jinxin came back, followed by the guards who brought him gifts in the morning.

Yu'er nodded when she saw someone coming, and the guard went out with a fist, hiding in the middle of nowhere, staring at him with wide eyes and vigilant eyes. Han Shilang had the grace of knowing himself at the beginning, but now his orders should be exhausted!

When Yu'er saw that there was no one, she asked Jinxin, "Did my cousin say anything?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, Han Shilang said that this person is safe and careful, and he will be able to protect his mother!"

"Okay, you tell him for me, once you see a suspicious person, you don't have to ask more, you will be killed!" In the end, my eyes are already red!

Jinxin couldn't bear to see her like this, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to agree silently, saying, "The slave knows!" ”

A few days have passed since Han Zhen quietly sent someone to the Splendid Palace to guard, Chen Lixin seemed to have disappeared into the palace, not only Yu'er was anxious, but the queen also secretly sent a lot of people to look for it, but they found nothing. The queen was also furious about this, seeing that Chu Sheng was about to return to the palace, but there was such a thing at this juncture, which was really unlucky! As the mother of a country, Yu Xiao didn't take good care of a criminal concubine, Yu Da didn't manage the harem well, even if Chu Sheng didn't pursue it, but in the end it would damage face!

There is also the Queen Mother, Chen's mother's family has always been attached to the Li family, and now Chen Lixin is not dead or dead, if the Chen family makes trouble, the Queen Mother will naturally not sit idly by, and then she is afraid that Chu Sheng will have the power in her own hands to be sidelined.

The thought of this gave the queen a headache. Seeing this, Xingxing hurriedly stepped forward and gently rubbed it for her, and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, Niangniang, look for it carefully, she is still in the palace, as long as she is still in the harem, she can't escape from your palm, and when you find her, you can cramp and peel her skin so that you can relieve your anger!" "The appearance of picking up stars is soft and weak, and when he talks about this cruel words, he is as comfortable as if he is talking about it!

The queen was upset in the end, and reprimanded: "Okay, let's find someone first!" ”

Picking up the stars closed his mouth in amusement, and only carefully rubbed his temples for the queen.

Under an unknown small bridge in the depths of the Imperial Garden, Chen Lixin was already shivering from the cold. The clothes on his body were in tatters, and they were not in shape. In the past, I was also in the limelight, but now I have fallen into such a field, and I can't help but feel sad and leave two lines of tears from it! It's all to blame on that slut, since you hurt me like this, then I will not let you have a good time even if I fight with my life.

Thinking of this, Chen Lixin had forgotten the cold, and only felt that hatred was burning in her body! In the dead of night, when the guards who were in charge of the night walked by, Chen Lixin walked out quietly. She hurried all the way to the gate of the Splendid Palace, but she didn't dare to make a sound when the gate was locked, so she quietly came to the door of her ears in the dark and waited. This is two hours, Yin Shi just arrived at the ear door and there was a sound, presumably it was the rough girl of the Splendid Palace who got up to work, Chen Lixin hurriedly found a dark place to hide her body.

Soon the door opened, and before dawn, there was a gurgling sound in the distance, and a little girl took the night pot out and walked towards the car that made the noise. Chen Lixin saw that it was a good time, so she hurriedly took advantage of the little palace maid's unpreparedness to touch in. She didn't dare to stay, and walked towards the main hall of the Splendid Palace with her feelings. Along the way, you have to be prepared for the early palace people to find out, stop and stop when you find the main hall, and the sky will be bright. Before she pushed the door in, a scolding voice came: "Who is it? Chen Lixin secretly said that it was not good, knowing that she had been discovered, she staggered to the side in a hurry. I saw a temple and pushed the door in, and until I reached the back room, I found that this was Situ Su's bedroom.

Su'er on the bed noticed that someone had come in, so she sat up and asked, "Who is it?" The little palace maid who was in charge of the night also woke up when she heard the sound, rubbed her worried eyes and got up to look. This sight almost frightened her, and a woman in ragged clothes actually held a dagger to the throat of the little master.

"Don't bark!" Chen Lixin was not afraid when she saw anyone coming, and calmly reprimanded.

The little palace maid was already frightened, and when she heard her say this, she cried and said, "You... Who are you? You're about to let go of our little master! ”

Before Chen Lixin could reply, someone had already chased after her outside, it was the guard sent by Han Zhen to protect Yu'er, and he was secretly annoyed when he saw the scene inside, but he still let her take advantage of the loophole. Hurriedly cleared his throat and said, "Is it Xiuyi Niangniang?" Ruyi, who came in behind her, was also frightened when she saw it, and cried in her voice.

Chen Lixin only felt noisy, and when she heard someone calling herself Xiuyi, she laughed self-deprecatingly, she dragged Su'er up from the bed, pressed a dagger against her throat and asked, "Do you think I'm still a mother now?" ”

The guard didn't dare to provoke her with words for a while, and was in a dilemma, when Yu'er walked in with Jinxin's hand. Although he was mentally prepared, he still broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the dagger shining with cold light on Su'er's throat!

"You're here!" Chen Lixin calmed down when she saw her, as if she had a normal meeting, and asked lightly. Yu'er glanced at the guard next to her, who retreated and galloped towards the military headquarters.

Yu'er stabilized her mind and said indifferently: "Why is my sister so confused, the emperor just let you go to live in Guanju Palace now, and he has not been sentenced to a serious crime, if you do something irreversible, it will be useless for the emperor to change his mind!" ”

When Chen Lixin heard her say this, her face first showed a look of hope, but it was fleeting and replaced with an indifferent face: "Now... Can I go back? This seems to be asking Yu'er and herself.

"Why can't you turn back, you put down the dagger before you let go of the big mistake at this moment, after all, we haven't alarmed the queen yet, and we will treat it as if nothing happened." Yu'er struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade.

Chen Lixin's hand against Su'er's neck tightened again, and she roared with a little excitement: "You don't want to talk any more, the emperor just listened to your coaxing to treat me like this, and now you want to lie to me again?" ”

Su'er was muttered by her, and she didn't dare to move, only staring at Yu'er with a pair of big eyes full of tears. Yu'er was distressed, although she was anxious, she still said with a calm face: "How dare my sister lie to you, besides, even if you kill Su'er, it won't help, can the emperor treat you like before when Su'er dies?" ”

While arguing, someone hurriedly broke in, and Yu'er looked at it, and the person who came was her cousin who had not seen her for many days. As soon as he stepped into the door of the dormitory, his eyes were glued to Xu'er's body, although his face was not obvious but his slightly trembling hands still could not escape Yu'er's eyes, and the people who had just returned from the front line were also nervous when they saw the dagger, and they still cared so much. Yu'er shook her head, so that she should not be cranky at this time, and she could feel a lot more relieved when her cousin came at this moment.

"A bold sinner, she dares to commit murder in the palace! Do you know what sin you have committed? Don't hurry up and get caught! Han Zhen shouted loudly with one hand on the saber at his side, Chen Lixin, whose voice was like Hong Zhongzhen, was stunned, but then he looked indifferent and replied, "What crime?" What sin could be worse than what happened to me at this time? ”

"Killing the royal family, even the nine clans, you don't want to kill yourself, even your parents at home?" Seeing her so busy, Yu'er continued to speak.

Chen Lixin was finally moved, thinking of how sad her parents at home should be to know that they had been convicted, and finally shed tears when she thought of the suffering she had suffered these days! She raised her head as if she was crazy, and cried out loudly, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Why don't you die yet? Why haven't you died yet? She cried as she spoke, and the hand against Su'er's throat inadvertently added a little more force, and the dagger was sharp, cutting a small hole in Su'er's skin at once, faintly oozing blood. Seeing this, Su'er gasped, and Ruyi next to her fainted directly, and everyone present was terrified.

Rao is Han Zhen was used to seeing killing during this time, and he didn't have the momentum of Fang Cai, so he stepped forward and softened his voice, "How can you let Li Jieyu go?" ”

Chen Lixin was still immersed in her emotions, and replied with tears in her eyes: "You killed that slut for me, and I will let her go!" As soon as these words came out, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat, and Han Zhen only turned around to look at Yu'er at this time, this was the first time since Han Zhen came here to look away from Yu'er. Looking at each other, Yu'er read the hesitation in his eyes, and suddenly cooled down. Cousin! ~Do you really want to exchange my life for my life? Thinking of this, I didn't have the strength to stand there in a daze.

Seeing her like this, Han Zhen couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said to Chen Lixin again: "You are embarrassing me, one life for another, what's the difference between me and me?" ”

"Then it depends on who you value more!" Chen Lixin seemed to have encountered something very funny, and smiled proudly.

For a while, no one spoke in the dormitory, and the sky outside was gradually brightening, and the rare dazzling sunlight of winter spilled in through the windows little by little, slowly casting the shadows of everyone on the ground. Chen Lixin didn't seem to be able to adapt to the dazzling brightness and seemed to be unable to endure such silence, and shouted: "Do you kill or not?!" Saying that, the strength in his hand increased a little more, and the piercing red on Su'er's throat was like the sunlight that had just poured into the room, and it became a little more. With tears in her eyes, she cried out sadly: "Cousin......"

Han Zhen heard her call herself, and her eyes were clouded, but after all, she stood still and didn't move. Seeing this, Chen Lixin smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you have already chosen!" And as he spoke, he cut it down with great strength.

Su'er slowly closed her eyes, and Yu'er also murmured: "Don't, don't!" ”

At this critical juncture, Han Zhen shouted in a low voice: "Wait! As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, the tip of which pointed directly at Yu'er. Seeing this, Jinxin hurriedly blocked Yu'er's body, and asked knowingly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Han Zhen also looked sad and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry!" ”

Yu'er pushed Jinxin aside, approached step by step, stared at Han Zhen's eyes and asked word by word: "Cousin~ Are you really going to kill me?" ”

Han Zhen didn't dare to look at her, and when he lowered his head, he finally burst into tears. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! He didn't know what else to say, only to repeat those three words over and over again.

Although Yu'er was already in pain, she was relieved to see him like this at this moment! Maybe I should have gone a long time ago, I should have gone with Jing'er when she left, and now I can exchange my life for Su'er's life, she is her own sister, and it is worth it! It's worth it! Thinking about it, he closed his eyes and stepped forward. There was a heart-rending shout and Chen Lixin's crazy laughter in his ears, but he didn't feel any pain other than that, only the abdomen was slightly cold, as if something was sucking his strength, and at the last moment before he fell, he saw a strange and familiar face, Chu Sheng~ Are you back?
