Chapter Eighty-Three: Escape
Shen Hengshan settled his mind and said calmly: "I think the assassin who assassinated the eldest princess had a drug like phagogue on the blade, this kind of medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it is the most negligent. Although it will not kill people, it will make the skin ulcerate, especially in the bloody wound, it is difficult to remove the texture soaked in, and the skin eroded by it will be difficult to recover from it, but I am afraid that the face of the eldest princess will ...... The scars on the face are difficult to remove. ”
"Assassins?" Yun Yanjin's eyes were filled with anger, and he asked Yun Yanzheng with his eyes, "Where did you meet the assassin?" Who did it? ”
Yun Yanzheng shook his head, his eyes were clear and steady, and he whispered eloquently: "It was the assassination on the way back from the mountain last night, and their swordsmanship seems to be a killer on the rivers and lakes." I don't know who sent it. ”
Chu Ruirong had been standing not far from Yun Yanzheng, and after hearing this, his face was complex, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
Yun Yanjin stretched out his hand and pressed it on Yun Yanzheng's left shoulder, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry too much, there must be capable people and people who can practice the medicine of saprophytic muscles for this purpose." He turned to Academician Shen and the old ministers and said, "Please ask the academician to clean and treat the wounds of the eldest princess first, and this king, Zhu Ge Lao and Mo Ge Lao will go to see Your Majesty together and report the matter." ”
Everyone seconded, Yun Yanjin glanced at Yun Yanzheng, the expression in his eyes was stable and resolute, and then he went out with a group of old ministers to the Qinzheng Palace.
The little chamberlain served fragrant tea to Yun Yanzheng, Chu Ruirong and Shen Hengshan respectively, and Academician Shen ordered the attendant to open the medicine box, and he began to treat the injuries on Yun Yanzheng's face. Yun Yanzheng didn't say a word, just closed his eyes and let him govern. And Chu Ruirong sat quietly on the side drinking tea, silently accompanying each other.
The sound in the side hall was fragmented, only the sound of Academician Shen sorting out the medicine remained, and finally he tied up the muscle-building white jade paste for Yun Yan, and then he also retired and went to the Qinzheng Hall to return to the emperor.
After the others retreated, only Yun Yanzheng and Chu Ruirong were left sitting side by side in the side hall a few cases apart. Bright daylight poured in from the window, reflecting on the carved floor tiles, and the dust flew in the air, pure human dust.
Chu Ruirong glanced sideways slightly, and saw Yun Yanzheng bathed in bright light, his black hair in snow clothes was dignified and reserved, and his face was half graceful and half hideous, but there was a kind of pure and unsullied shocking beauty that naturally revealed. Her eyes were lightly closed, her breathing was long and steady, and there was no sadness, pain, unwillingness and resentment in her expression, but a calm and peaceful style, like a Bodhisattva treasure carefully carved out of jade, tranquil, serene, elegant, and not contaminated with a trace of human dirt, and the whole breath was so calm and peaceful that people's hearts kept sinking.
There seemed to be a silence between him and her, and no one could break such a static and silent situation.
He couldn't break it.
And she just didn't want to break it.
He didn't know if even his words of comfort were pale or superfluous. The result of all this, whether it is the truth of the assassination, or the truth is that she herself is ruthless, but she has only one attitude now, that is, to resist the emperor's order and refuse to marry, that is, not to enter the Houfu and not marry him.
Moreover, she has made up her mind to fight to the death, so as to fight.
Now, even though the blood in his chest was surging and the pain was unbearable, he had nothing to say, and he could no longer speak. Chu Ruirong was only afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would not be able to hide his emotions, and he would expose his worries and fears. He didn't know how to express his description of her when she entered the palace from the mouth of others at the beginning, her request for the death penalty in front of the Qinzheng Palace, the visit of the academician of Xuantai Hospital for her, the scar on her face when he saw her in this side hall, and even the complicated feelings of sitting silently side by side now. He only felt that his heart had never been so tumultuous or even overwhelmed in the past twenty years as it was today, and he almost felt that his heart was beating and cracking, no longer existing, and was in ashes.
It wasn't until Yun Yanjin's footsteps sounded in the side hall that Yun Yanzheng slowly opened his eyes, and he looked at Yun Yanjin at first glance. Yun Yanzheng smiled faintly at him and said softly, "Can you borrow the third brother's carriage to send me back to the eldest princess's mansion?" Yun Yanjin looked solemn and bowed her head.
Yun Yanjin turned to Chu Ruirong again, and saluted: "Ruirong, in this matter, it was all because of the carelessness and negligence of the king, who is the elder brother, that she was innocently implicated and suffered this heavy blow. This king is also ashamed of your friend, so that what was a festive thing has become a predicament and laughing talk, please accept my gift! ”
Chu Ruirong stood up eagerly, not daring to accept his salute, and said politely: "The prince is serious, and Weichen does not dare to accept this salute!" The world is changing, and how can everything be expected. Please also ask the eldest princess to relax and go back to recuperate from her injuries, and in front of His Majesty, Weichen will naturally try her best to mediate and ease her cheeks. ”
"Chu Shizi, I'm sorry!" Yun Yanzheng finally said his first words to him after being silent.
Chu Ruirong's heart moved, his eyes were slightly hot, and in an instant, he suppressed his anger, pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Eldest princess, take care!" ”
In his heart, he said, please take care of yourself in the future!
Yun Yanzheng smiled indifferently at him, turned around and followed Yun Yanjin out of the side hall, and walked towards the palace gate without stopping.
As soon as she left this time, I don't know if there will be a day to meet.
Chu Ruirong looked at her beautiful and light back with some apprehension, and couldn't help but feel sour and a little relieved in his heart.
In the reckless red dust world, she seems to be going farther and farther away from this deep palace compound full of power struggles. She was dressed in a clean snow suit, and she had walked through this place for many years, and it seemed that she was about to carry the pure color of this body, and disappeared into the dazzling brilliance of the scorching sun, without a trace.
A carriage carved by Ying Long traveled through the streets and avenues of Yuecheng, and the carriage was divided into two walls, each lazily leaning on people.
There is no resemblance in their countenance, one is still handsome and tough, like a mountain and a cliff, with a knife carved and sharpened; One was originally elegant and beautiful like the morning breeze and twilight, and the fairy song was elegantly painted, but at the moment he had similar eyes and temperaments, all of which were so-for-tat and tense.
"Why is it so risky to rush to achieve results? Why don't you take it slowly and tactfully? Yun Yanjin's eyes were so deep at the moment that he looked aggressive.
And the person sitting opposite him raised his phoenix eyes and whispered: "Third brother, I can't stay here anymore, I can't wait to leave." ”
"Are you doing this for your own freedom? Is it to leave Yuecheng? Or is it for the sake of care? Can't you pay him back with his life, but in such a way as to ruin your own face, do you repay him for saving your life? Yun Yanjin questioned her in an extremely suppressed voice, and the fire in her eyes was almost about to burst on the person and burn.
Yun Yanzheng had a cloud of smoke in his eyes that others couldn't see clearly, and said lightly: "Third brother, what is appearance to me?" The body should not be damaged by giving it to my parents, but I will not marry into the Houfu against my will, and I will not let the Nine Heavens Ride fall into the hands of the imperial brother, and the two powers will harm each other. What's more, it's just a matter of hurting me a little bit and the whole situation, the third brother is a big thing, so there is no need to worry about it. ”
"Doesn't count what? Is this how your life has passed? Yun Yanjin didn't dare to agree. He wondered if the people called "Shezhi" thought a little differently from ordinary people?
"If you can give birth to Yuecheng, walk all over the world, listen to the flowing springs in Kyushu, and know all the pleasures in the world, what are the regrets? As for the first life in the mouth of the third brother, does it mean to find a person with the same heart and be happy and happy for a lifetime? This kind of thing, such a person can not be found, even in the past ten years in my beautiful face has not been encountered, in the years to come, may not be able to meet, if I meet him dislikes my current appearance, let alone know that it is not a confidant? Yun Yanzheng said casually, his tone full of disapproving laughter.
Yun Yanjin stretched out his hand to touch the scars on her face, frowning, "But, ......" he sighed and said, "Is this injury really incurable?"
Facing his worried appearance, Yun Yanzheng knew in his heart, but he still couldn't bear it, and winked at him playfully in an instant, "When Gu Shezhi and I went to investigate the Kyoto bloody case, Concubine Li's body was also wiped and devoured. I accidentally got into it, and he gave me two bottles of antidote to saprophytic muscle, which are still there today. ”
Yun Yanjin stared at her and confirmed again, "Really? ”
Yun Yanzheng nodded solemnly and said: "I need to hide people's eyes and ears during the Yuecheng period, and when I get out of the cage and trust the horse, I will make it better." ”
Yun Yanjin looked at the sincerity in her eyes for a long time, and finally had to nod lightly, "I will get the imperial brother to agree to let you go out to seek medical treatment as soon as possible." He clasped his hands together and looked resolute and steady.
Yun Yanzheng's eyes were slightly hot, his phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "Thank you, third brother, for your success." Although he knew in his heart that he had a heart for using himself, he had been with each other for so many years, and he was not ruthless and unrighteous after all. Once this powder penetrates into the texture, it is still effective to rub the plaster of saprophytic muscle on it, and if she deliberately tries to worsen the injury and cause a situation where there is no cure, no matter how much plaster is rubbed on the saprophytic muscle in the future, it will not be possible to return to the original state.
Yun Yanjin's arm stretched out, gently hugged her thin shoulders, leaned her head on her broad shoulders, and whispered in a deep voice: "A man should let the person he wants to protect get the happiness and happiness she wants, you don't have to thank me, this is what I should do as a man." The person who should say thank you is me, you have guarded me for so many years, it is time for me to protect you. ”
She crouched on Yun Yanjin's familiar breath and shoulders with some greed, and for the first time felt that she could also lean on a person's body in such a small and fragile posture, and closed her eyes with peace of mind to taste the bitter and indistinguishable taste of tears sliding down the corners of her lips.
Since then, Yun Yanzheng has been indifferent to what happened in the court. She now seems to be a little resigned to fate, indisputable, and disheartened. Every day, I only took care of the flowers and trees with Kao in the eldest princess's mansion; I learned to cook dishes with the cook, otherwise I would have looked through the world's books, piano scores, medical herbs, flavors and wine tastings, witch Gu tea ceremony, star gossip and even divination, and had nothing to do all day long.
When Yun Yanjin rushed to the eldest princess's mansion with the good news of freedom, Yun Yanzheng showed a faint but somewhat childish smile.
In such a smile, there is no heartfelt joy, and there is not too much emotion. It's like a person who has suppressed too many things in his heart, but has no outlet to release, and can only force himself to show the purest smile in front of others to hide what he doesn't want to be known.
Yun Yanjin stroked the top of her soft hair and said with a smile: "Yan Zheng, Gu Shezhi gave you the last blow in your heart; Or did it give you an important opportunity to pursue your freedom? ”
After all, he said goodbye to Yuecheng, and a light boat floated with the green water of the river and passed thousands of green mountains.
Yun Yanzheng herself didn't know that in the past nineteen years, she had been able to grit her teeth and survive so many open and secret battles, life and death, why was she so completely disheartened and determined to flee this time?
