Chapter 3 The Tao is sunny but sunny
Bright yellow is the color that belongs to only one person, and that person is supposed to be in the palace, how can he be here? Liang Yue shook her head self-deprecatingly, completely giving up resistance, and letting the darkness devour her little by little.
She is still so calm, even if she dies, she doesn't struggle at all. Xuanyuan Zili looked at Gu Liangyue's gradually dissipating eyes, and his eyes were cold. Her shoulders were covered with blood, and the bun that she always held simply was scattered at this time, and she just shook her head when she saw herself, and she was going to die quietly like this, right?
How simple it is to die, it is the hardest thing to survive. The emperor snorted coldly, the dark tide in his eyes surged, but his body subconsciously reached out, pinched Gu Liangyue's chin, and lifted that face fiercely.
"Gu Liangyue, don't pick the easiest way, what you owe me, you can't pay it back when you die. If you dare to do that, you must have the courage to bear it. The killer's life and death are indifferent, I know that you are not afraid of death, so now, you can't die! ”
The bones were about to be crushed, and the sharp pain made Liang Yue feel a little sober. The voice that echoed in my ears was so clear that every word was filled with hatred, and it would never be an illusion again.
Xuanyuan Zili, the former fifth prince, and now Emperor Ming Xuan, he came.
Trying to open his eyes, the eyebrows and eyes that greeted him were still as flawless as ice sculptures, Liang Yue pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered some things from before, and unconsciously curved the corners of her mouth.
Once upon a time, when she saw this face for the first time, she also had a moment of trance. These eyebrows are too handsome, and the eyes are cold, like a delicate ice sculpture, which can easily capture people's hearts.
But in the next second, she understood that this person was definitely not an elegant son, he had a sword faster than her, and a heart that was more ruthless than her. Even better suited than her to be a killer.
That's right, she is a killer, once the first woman to take off the iron-blooded order on the rivers and lakes, and she is also a criminal who makes various yamen helpless. There are not a few corrupt officials who have died under her, and it is not uncommon to rob the rich and help the poor, but more often, she is simply killing people. Take on quests, kill people, and get bounties. It's her way of surviving.
Until I met him when I was about to die...
"Looks like you're pretty happy." Xuanyuan Zili frowned and let go of her.
can actually laugh, Gu Liangyue can actually laugh too.
He and her have also been together for a year, although there is no intersection except for the task, but in his impression, Gu Liangyue has never smiled, although that face is really beautiful, but there is never an expression. Now that he was actually smiling in such an environment, he was curious, what was she thinking just now?
"You don't laugh when you're happy." Liang Yue opened her mouth hoarsely, her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it if she didn't listen carefully.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and walked closer, his warm breath sprinkled between the collarbones of the cold moon, and his voice was low and emotionless: "Then what are you laughing at?" ”
Liang Yue looked away lightly, and said in a dumb voice: "It's just that I remembered some boring things from before..."
It's just that she suddenly thought of the first time she saw him when he saved her, that is, like this, so handsome that he didn't look like a mortal man. At that time, she was plotted and seriously injured, and he passed by, but he stood beside her and looked at her coldly for a long time. It wasn't until she opened her eyes that he said:
"Do you still want to live?"
I have never seen such a cold-blooded person, indifferent and dangerous. She nodded subconsciously at that time, and then he took her back to the palace.
He saved her life, and she should pay it back. It's just that what he didn't expect was that at that time, his request turned out to be to make her the princess.
…
Maybe this smile was too dazzling, and Xuanyuan Zi hadn't come back to his senses for a long time. The bloody prison, a man in a brocade suit and a woman in a mess, both of them were distracted, which made a few people standing outside puzzled.
Bai Yu tugged at Qing Jue's sleeve and said softly: "Qing Jue, you see what the master means, it doesn't seem that he wants to kill Miss Liangyue?" What do you do standing like this, and don't say a word. ”
Qing Jue shook her head, looked at Liang Yue, who was still tied up with some concern, and said in a low voice: "I can't guess what the master thinks, but if it goes on like this, without the master's hands, Miss Liangyue shouldn't be able to hold on for long." ”
Lian Jiao's hands are extremely heavy, if it weren't for the fact that Liang Yuezi was really good, this would have been a long time ago. But it seems that it should be about the same, even if it can survive, the body should almost be wasted.
"Can I ask you a question?" Liang Yue opened her mouth with a little coughing, her eyes suddenly with a touch of stubbornness, and she slowly looked up at the emperor in front of her, and asked in a low voice.
Glancing at her, Xuanyuan Zili nodded.
"Tonight, you can't come at all, why are you still here?" Liang Yue chuckled and tilted her head to look at Xuanyuan Zili's eyes.
The emperor sighed lightly, and said with his hand: "If it weren't for the peony to mention it, I wouldn't have thought of you." Lian Jiao said that you still don't want to tell the truth, right? ”
The light in her eyes dimmed, and Liang Yue said in a low voice: "I told the truth, but you don't believe it." ”
Xuanyuan Zili sneered, his eyes scraping over Liang Yue's body like a knife. Believe her? She wanted to tell him that she didn't tell the emperor about the contents of the letter, did she believe that she ran to the emperor? How could he believe such an unconvincing thing?
"I have no reason to betray the Third Prince." Liang Yue finally said a word, then bowed her head and did not speak again.
She can give up the freedom of the Jianghu people in order to repay his kindness, assassinate those who hinder him, life and death can be abandoned, how can she betray him at the last time? She could understand the impact of the third prince's death on him, but why did he not believe her so much after so long that he refused to even hesitate to send her into the dungeon.
It's really not in that person's heart, so she has no value, and whether she lives or dies is completely out of his scope of concern.
The prison was quiet for a while, and Xuanyuan Zili looked at Gu Liangyue silently, and unconsciously lost his mind again.
Gu Liangyue was the coolest woman he had ever seen. Although it was a play, he also gave her the identity of the main room. However, in the former royal palace, she was as transparent. Except for handing in tasks, I never took the initiative to find him. always turns a blind eye to the difficulties of other side concubines. If it weren't for the occasional bloody return to the main courtyard, he might have forgotten that there was such a person.
What is she asking for? has worked so hard for him in the past year, if it is said that it is a return to the favor, it should be repaid as early as the first time she assassinated the eldest prince and almost died. Then why did he continue to help him until he ascended to the throne?
He didn't believe in any plain help, and he didn't really think that anyone would do this because of repaying the favor. The only explanation can only be that she had another purpose. For example, whose undercover agent is to betray him at the last moment so that someone can take the position. That's the only way to explain everything, isn't it?
What "do your best to repay the king's kindness", what "don't ask for anything else but ask for nothing to owe each other", if it was an ordinary person, they might believe her. It's a pity that he has seen too many treacherous people and no longer trust a person so simply.
As for what to do with her, Xuanyuan Zili lowered his head and thought about it, do you want to abolish martial arts? This is the most painful for the killer. Or will you be imprisoned in a dungeon for the rest of your life? It doesn't seem to be very relievable. Exile, flogging, these criminal laws are too light, what should I do?
He didn't think about why he never considered giving Gu Liangyue death, death was too simple, but it was indeed the most ruthless criminal law, wasn't it? It was at this time that Xuanyuan Zili didn't think much about it, so there were so many twists and turns later.
There was no movement for a long time, and Qing Jue couldn't help but shout: "Master, it's not too early." ”
Xuanyuan Zi came back to his senses, Xu finally thought of something, and looked up at Gu Liangyue. was about to speak, but found that the latter had closed his eyes at some point.
Her eyelashes were so long, I had never seen her so close before. Although he knew that Gu Liangyue had an excellent appearance, he didn't pay much attention to it. Looking at it carefully now, Gu Liangyue, who is less cold and much paler, looks really awkward.
"Why, if you want to escape from me, do you just close your eyes?" Xuanyuan Zili reached out and touched Liang Yue's cheek, but found that the tentacles were cold and stiff.
It's like the temperature of a dead man. The emperor looked at his hand in a daze, the cold and hard touch of his fingertips was still there, like a cold poisonous snake, extending from his arm to his heart, and then biting him fiercely.
Is it dead? Xuanyuan Zili looked at Gu Liangyue on the wooden frame stiffly, her blood seemed to have been exhausted, her face was as pale as paper, and her body was hanging there like broken cotton wool, and she was not half angry.
Didn't you just talk? How can there be no breath? The emperor pursed his lips, subconsciously took a step back, and finally had a trace of panic on his cold face, and roared in a low voice: "Someone." ”
Lian Jiao couldn't hold it anymore, and when she heard the emperor's voice, she immediately entered the cell, and Qing Jue and Bai Yu also hurriedly walked to the emperor's side.
"Go see what's wrong with her." Xuanyuan Zili calmed down, and his face returned to an indifferent expression, as if the momentary mood swings just now were hallucinations.
Lian Jiao led the order to Gu Liangyue's side, casually reached out to probe her snort, snorted quietly, turned her head to the emperor and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the Gu family has already gone." ”
Xuanyuan Zili was shocked, and glared at Lian Jiao in disbelief: "You say it again." ”
Lian Jiao was frightened by this look, and hurriedly knelt down, but still said stubbornly: "The Gu family has gone, and the breath has been broken." ”
Go? He has not settled his account with her, and who will let her go? The emperor sneered, and without saying a word, he pulled out the sword on Bai Yu's waist, broke the rope in Liang Yue's hand, and picked her up without any scruples, and strode out.
