Chapter 07: But she only has Zhong Sun Yue in her heart
In a dilapidated wooden house deep in the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city, there was already a secret guard waiting there with a burden, Xue Zileng said to the female dark guard with a bumpy figure, "She is too seriously injured, you bandage her first, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and then I will take her away, and you continue to stay in the capital to listen to the news." β
"Yes."
**
Xue Zileng changed into the costume of a mountain village nofu, pulled the most ordinary carriage, and took He Le'an to Yuelu Mountain, but whether it was a mountain road or other roads leading to Yuelu Mountain, there were already a large number of officers and soldiers waiting for them.
Zhongsun Xuan said coldly, "Xue Zileng, leave He Le'an, I can spare your life!" β
"She has always been Ah Yue's wife, why do you have to put her to death? There's no way she's going to murder her aunt! β
"The facts are in front of you, you just don't believe it, the breakfast and tableware are all prepared by her, and the mother has an accident after eating, it's not her, who else can it be!" Zhongsun Xuan said, "For your sake, I screened the people in the mansion again, but I couldn't find any suspicious people!" I don't want to kill Ah Yue's favorite wife, but how can I ignore my mother's grievances!! β
"I also hope that my aunt can rest in peace. But it's not just a random person to come out and fill in the life, other murder cases also need time to be carefully investigated, why is it the turn of the aunt and He Le'an to be in such a hurry to finalize the case? β
"Because apart from her, no one else can murder my mother so directly and quickly, Your Majesty also agrees with the second reason, and the people in the palace have been interrogated several times, even if you don't want to believe it, this is the case!" Zhongsun Xuan didn't want to argue with him any longer, and with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers rushed towards Xue Zileng.
Two fists are invincible to four hands, Xue Zileng never thought of wasting energy to fight with them from the beginning, picked up He Le'an and fled with light skills, even if the guards chased after him, and finally even sent out archers, he didn't think about giving up on her for a moment, and Zhongsun Xuan shot an arrow in his leg!
"Ah Leng, as long as you keep her, I can still ignore your crimes!" Zhongsun Xuan threatened.
Xue Zi ignored him and fled straight forward, Zhong Sun Xuan aimed an arrow at the back of his heart, but because he jumped suddenly, he lost his hand, he only listened to the cold order, "Chase, you must not let them go!" β
I thought that he could take her to escape to a temporary safe place no matter what, but he didn't expect Zhong Sun Xuan to smear the medicine in the arrow, as the internal force wandered away, Xue Zileng's consciousness began to dissipate, he bit his lip with his teeth until the fishy sweetness wandered in his throat, telling himself to stay awake at the last time, and continue to escape, but it didn't last long, he still fell in the grass, before falling into the boundless darkness, he only felt a touch of black, silently falling not far away.
**
The sweet and glutinous taste fell into a dream, He Le'an woke up in a daze, and saw the unfamiliar luxuriously decorated room, she wanted to get up, but just moved, she gasped in pain, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the man dressed as a man in black saw her wake up, and commanded outward, "The Lord is awake." β
"......" Lord?
He Le'an looked at him blankly, and then a middle-aged fat man came with a medicine box on his back, diligently and sincerely checked her pulse, and then said to the man dressed as a man in black, "It's no big deal, just recuperate normally, because the medicine used at the beginning is excellent, and it won't leave any sequelae, please rest assured." β
She suddenly remembered Xue Zileng who rescued her from her cell, "What about Xue Shizi?" "Maybe this is his place.
"Rest assured, Lord, your savior is all right." At this moment, another man dressed as a man in black came in, his voice had a familiar feeling, and he smiled: "He is resting in another room." β
He Le'an looked at them blankly, "You ...... Why do you call me Lord? Isn't this Xue Shizi's place? β
"You are the future monarch of our Cloud Country, we have to respect you, this is Yaotai, and I am Mu Hibiscus."
βοΌβ She remembered that Zhongsun Yue and they told her that Yaotai was a killer organization. Specializing in some things to buy people's lives, as long as you can afford the price, no matter who you want to kill, they will accept it, He Le'an hid the shock in his eyes, "Do you recognize the wrong person, how can I be the future of Yunguo-"
Hibiscus suddenly took out a small glass ball, the ball had rows of small holes, and there was a blue bug in it, he approached her, first wiped out a little blood with his own hand and dripped into the ball, the blue bug was indifferent, he grabbed her hand again, wiped out a little blood, the blue bug suddenly screamed and hit the ball violently, he laughed:
"This is the evidence, you are the only remaining royal bloodline in our Cloud Country."
"......" knew that the jade Perry with the characters written on it by old Zhuo Yibo was a deed related to the Yun Kingdom, and they had been investigating the affairs of the Yun Kingdom, but for this small country, there were too few things that could be investigated, He Le'an had guessed that her mother was from the Yun Kingdom, but she never thought that her mother was the blood of the royal family of the Yun Kingdom.
He Le'an pursed his lips and said, "I want to see Xue Shizi." β
"He hasn't woken up yet, if you want to ask about Zhong Sun Yue, I can also answer you."
"How is the night now!" He Le'an said eagerly.
Mu Hibiscus said, "The injury is too serious, and he is still not sober, but with Emperor Huixi taking care of him, he shouldn't have anything to do, and you are not only accused of murdering Prince Qian, but also murdering your own husband, and conspiring with Yingdong to attempt rebellion, and now you are wanted by the whole country." β
"......" was really everything that Zhong Sun Xuan said, but why did he suddenly do this? She believed that under Zhong Sun Yue's control, he didn't have any spies of Prince Rui by his side, all this happened so strangely, she still felt like a dream, but when Zhong Sun Xuan hurt Zhong Sun Yue, it was true, and when she was whipped, it was also true.
"You should be hungry, I ordered someone to prepare porridge for you, what flavor do you prefer?" Sweet or salty? β
This series is really considerate, He Le'an said, "I don't have much appetite, I still want to know the specific news of the capital, Xue Shizi came to save me, will it affect the Marquis of Jinning?" What about Huiyu? What about Shi Qinghe? What about the home in Fengzhou City? β
"Nope. Before he went to save you, he wrote a letter of severance, and he will no longer be a person from the Marquis of Jinning Mansion in the future, Zhongsun Xuan is family after all, and he did not deal with Xue Huiyu and her fiancΓ©, but they are all under house arrest, and in addition, he is also wanted. β
βοΌβ He Le'an's weak hand gradually clenched into a fist.
Mu Hibiscus said, "You have just woken up now, you should not be too worried, I will pay attention to the movements of the capital for you, and please take good care of your body and recover our cloud country." Avenge the thousands of innocent lives and your blood relatives, and wash the country of Zhonglin and Tonghui in blood. β
"......" But in her heart, there is only Zhong Sun Yue.
**
He Le'an didn't feel sleepy at all, he sat next to the bedside, his thoughts kept wandering, as if he wanted to sort out what was happening at the moment, but now that he explored, what puzzled her the most was still Zhong Sun Xuan's abnormality - taking a step back, he doubted her, there should be a step, but he was sure of her from the beginning, why is this?
That day. When Zhong Sun Yue killed Zhong Sun Yue, she could see it clearly, and the disbelief on Zhong Sun Yue's face made her deny that their brother was acting, and she didn't think that Zhong Sun Yue would be willing to push her out to play any bitter tricks, and she didn't discuss half a point with her, and now she also ran out of a Yaotai killer organization to ask her to recover what Yun Kingdom.
The brain is messy, the things of this life and the things of the previous life are all tangled into a mess, entangled so that she is almost out of breath, and what she is full of worries about is Zhong Sun Yue, whose life and death are unknown, and the coldness seems to rush from the soles of her feet to her heart. It was as if he didn't want to leave.
Knocking, the door was knocked cautiously, and He Le'an said, "Come in." β
The maid who was sent by Hibiscus to take care of her said respectfully, "Lord, Xue Gongzi is awake." β
He Le'an was overjoyed, he got up from the bed, and he couldn't care about the pain when he touched the wound, "I'm going to see him!" In such a strange place, it is a rare luck for her to meet familiar people.
**
In the wing room with a similar decoration style, Xue Zileng sat on the bed with a pale face, and saw He Le'an coming in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how safe it is here, it is a hundred times better than a prison cell." β
He Le'an was really convinced that he was still in the mood to joke at such a time, waved his hand to signal the maid who was waiting in the room and the maid who came with her to retreat, and as soon as the door closed, she asked, "How is your injury?" Is it serious? β
Xue Zi said coldly, "It's not serious, it's just a bit of poison torture." β
"This is Yaotai's place." He Le'an said, "They say that I am the royal blood of the Yun Kingdom. β
"Things are becoming more and more like a script on the stage."
"But I don't want to be the main character."
"Either way, it's a good place to recuperate, for you and for me." Xue Zi said coldly, "You don't have to worry, no matter what Ah Yue says, he is Zhongsun Xuan's own brother, and he won't really kill him." β
He Le'an shook his head and said, "He is real, the sword that stabbed Yeming, I can see it clearly, even if he is affectionate, he will not take Yeming's life, but he will not let Yeming jump around." At least until she died, he wouldn't, "Now that you and I are both wanted, you have paid too much for me, and it is really not worth it." β
"There's nothing worth it or not, for Ah Yue to baboon spring rolls, just for Huiyu's girl, I can't ignore you, not to mention that blood can't be cut, I just don't care about those fame and fortune, parents are still parents, brothers and sisters are still brothers and sisters." Xue Zi said coldly, "What's more, I believe in you." "She and Zhongsun Yue are in love, unprovoked, and there is no reason to murder Prince Qian.
"Thank you for believing in me." He Le'an pulled his lips and smiled.
**
The medicine that Hibiscus gave her was excellent, and within seven or eight days, the terrible wounds on her body gradually healed, and the maids were attentive, almost responsive, and did not restrict her personal freedom, she could go wherever she wanted.
Although there were a lot of black-clad guards everywhere, they wouldn't keep an eye on her and disgust her, or maybe it was just because they were sure that she couldn't escape from this place without any martial arts.
is still the same doctor, he changed Xue Zileng's bandages, He Le'an was afraid that they were not as attentive to Xue Zileng as he was, so he would come to see the doctor to change his dressing almost every day. Thankfully, they were still taking good care of him, and the wound he had been hit by the arrow was healing at a speed that she could see with her naked eye, and she was a little relieved.
Ordinary hibiscus went to her wing and couldn't find anyone, so he would automatically come to Xue Zileng's wing, although there was only a garden apart, but he still admired He Le'an's perseverance to run into Xue Zileng's room every day, and every time he went to Xue Zileng's wing, he would first bow to He Le'an, and then said:
"The envoy of Tonghui Kingdom has arrived in the capital, and it is the seventh princess Nangong Jiaqian and the prince of the co-political king, Nangong Qinglan, and the eldest son of the emperor, Zhongsun Yiningyi, and Zhongsun Shaojie, who are receiving the eldest son of the emperor, and Zhongsun Shaojie, I heard that Nangong Qinglan came together this time. It's for visiting relatives. β
"This excitement has nothing to do with us anymore." Ho Le Andao.
Hibiscus laughed, "It's related." Seeing that she looked at him suspiciously, he continued, "In order to provoke the conflict between Zhonglin and Tonghui, we have transferred the Seventh Princess, and the substitute will assassinate Emperor Huixi, and the prince of the assistant government will also be bloodied on the spot. β
"Noβ" He Le'an said, "you can't kill innocents!" β
Mu Hibiscus's expression turned cold, "If you say that you are innocent, how can we not be innocent in Yun Kingdom!" When they joined forces to slaughter our country, who ever thought that the people were innocent or not, the royal family was desolate or not, and your mother was murdered to death. I didn't know that my parents were wiped out by Empress Zhonglin, just for that treasure map, they would kill all the bloodlines we had left! β
"If it weren't for the fact that the first leader of Yaotai swore to protect your mother to escape, and unfortunately died of injuries on the way, and was picked up by old Zhuo Yibo, otherwise you would still be born in this world!" Mu Hibiscus said, "We, the Cloud Country, have only wanted to defend a pure land and get a place to live for generations, but they will do whatever it takes to do their best, and they will also slaughter our bloodline!" β
He said. "Do you know how the forty-fourth empress of the Yun Kingdom was killed! Their Tonghui prince was born after death, and was rescued by the people of Yunguo, but he took every step of the way, won the heart of the empress, and then mercilessly joined forces with Emperor Zhonglin to trample on the royal bloodline! Even if the empress gave up the treasure map and begged them to spare the people, they still wanted everyone in our cloud country to die! Even if you weren't there, you could imagine the breath of death after fighting at the border for several years, right? β
"It's just that, unlike during the border campaign, imaginary, the ones that fell. It's all your blood relatives! β
"Our Mu family is the servant of the Yun family, we were born to support the master of the Yun family, these are the bloody histories that I have listened to my ancestors since I was born, and they have been like this for generations, can you imagine? I was born to assist you! β
There was obvious hatred in his eyes, but He Le'an didn't know whether this hatred was for her, the legacy of the royal family of the Yun Kingdom, or for those who caused the destruction of the Yun Kingdom, so he pursed his lips and said, "You can, but don't tell me about the relevant matters in the future." β
Hibiscus looked at her stubborn appearance with her eyes down, and was silent for a while. Turn and leave.
After a long silence, Xue Zileng broke the silence and said, "He Liu, are you okay?" β
"I'm thinking about what he said, about my mother's murder." He Le'an said, "Not long after I was born, my mother died, my grandmother said that she died of depression, and her life was ruined by my father. for me in the womb, I became a concubine. β
"Everything I know about my mother is what my grandmother told me, and she is a very beautiful person."
"Later, I also learned from my uncle that the reason why she left Zhuo Yibo's Mansion and went to Jianinghou's Mansion was because of a quarrel with He's family, he said it implicitly, but with He's mean temperament, it is not difficult to think that it was caused by He's trouble, so she didn't spare her that day, and a large part of it was to avenge my mother."
She tugged at the corners of her lips. "I care about my mother because my grandmother has been talking about her in my ear since I was a child, and I understand how Hibiscus feels, but it's just ...... My impression of my biological grandparents is difficult for me to empathize with, and I can't do it yet, saying that it is Yunguo for Yunguo, and I will do everything I can to teach Zhonglin and Tonghui to perish. β
I only wanted to find an ordinary husband in this life, and grow old with him, but I didn't expect to be defeated under the gentleness of Zhongsun Yue, the king of the county, and then I just wanted to live this life with him in peace, to be a painless rich man in a small town, a husband and a child, but I still didn't expect that I would deviate from my ideal again, and the longer I lived, the more troubles I had, the deeper I fell in, and the more I couldn't get out.
Xue Zi said coldly, "You can just do what you think is right." β
He Le'an looked at him blankly, "In the past, Yeming would have said the same to me. "She really misses him.
Xue Zi sneered, "When I'm healed, I'll take you to see him." β
**
Prince Qian's mansion, and the secret room of the Snow Building.
Zhongsun Xuan slapped the table angrily and said, "Haven't found it yet?" What am I raising you for? If you look for two people, you won't find them! β
The secret guard who knelt on one knee said in fear, "The lowly officials have been looking for it day and night, but the princess of Yuejun and Xue Shizi seem to have disappeared, and there is no trace of them, I am afraid that they are no longer in the capitalββ"
"Impossible." Zhongsun Xuan interrupted, "Ah Leng was poisoned by an arrow, and Princess Yuejun was seriously injured, it is impossible to run away, continue to search, I can't find you to come to see you, remember, don't hurt them again!" β
"Yes." After the guard left, another one came in respectfully.
He knelt down on one knee and said, "Back to the prince, Prince Rui is still as usual, occasionally receiving guests, occasionally going out to hang out, and his manpower has not found Princess Yuejun and Xue Shizi, today he also sent more people to find it, that is, Dongfang Er also dispatched." β
Zhongsun Xuan rubbed his temples and said, "Go and tell Your Majesty, although as expected, Prince Rui intends to put away Princess Yuejun, but Princess Yuejun has lost her trace, and it is difficult for us to find it. β
If this plan caused He Le'an and Xue Zileng to have an accident, then Zhong Sun Yue and his mother woke up. He must not be spared, whether he obeys Emperor Huixi's orders or not, or whether he is forced by Emperor Huixi's helplessness.
**
The moon seemed to be secretly hidden by someone, the night sky was dark and dreary, and there was not a single glimmer of stars, He Le'an and Xue Zileng shook this big mansion paradoxically, and when they walked more and more remotely, they slipped out quietly, so that what they didn't expect was that this mansion was actually built under the imperial city - it was really the most dangerous place, the safest place.
Because tonight was a palace feast, the hibiscus and they went. The magnates in the entire capital, those who can attend, and those who are unwilling to attend, are suitable to sneak back to Prince Qian's mansion to visit Zhongsun Yue, although Zhongsun Xuan stays at home to guard filial piety, but Xue Zileng still has a secret guard left in the capital to use, so they still take the risk.
Looking for a familiar and secret route to the eaves of the master bedroom of Taketori Temple, Xue Zileng just wanted to uncover a tile and ask He Le'an to take a look at Zhongsun Yue in the room, when a few sharp darts suddenly shot at them, he flicked his sleeves to block them, only to see a strange green light on those darts, obviously quenched poison.
The guards in Taketori heard the sound. "Who! β
Under this order, the guards in the house all came out, Xue Zileng had to pick up He Le'an and turn around and flee, but those darts were like unjust spirits, chasing them, he whistled, and the secret guards appeared to escort them, and a large number of killers blocked them in the alley next to the palace.
At the same time, the patrol battalion, which was always slow in its work, suddenly came, and the leading lieutenant took a look at them. sneered: "It's actually two wanted criminals, come on, catch them quickly!" β
When Xue Zileng was about to deal with it casually, a few black flashes jumped out, and He Le said happily: "Aomori! β
"You go!" Aomori said that, and the men rushed towards the soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion.
Xue Zileng knew that he was the secret guard left by Zhongsun Yue to He Le'an, and immediately took He Le'an away without hesitation, but they were like insects caught in a spider's web, and before they took a few steps, a group of unknown black-clothed people jumped out to arrest them, and after a while, the guards of Prince Qian's mansion chased them out and asked them to surrender. And when the two groups of people were fighting, he took advantage of the loophole and fled.
Just when they thought they could escape, a strong palm wind with dozens of poisonous darts attacked, Xue Zileng avoided it, turned around and saw a burly figure, with more than 20 masters, surrounding them in the dark alley, led by General Anton, the younger brother of Queen Wan, only to listen to him:
"The wanted criminal dares to come back with a swagger, so he blames me for not being merciless."
As soon as he waved his hand, those masters rushed towards them, and in normal times, Xue Zileng could dodge and even be unharmed, but now he still has to protect He Le'an, not only is it difficult to deal with it, but also gradually falls behind, at this time, several smoke bombs smashed over, and a familiar voice said, "Hurry up!" β
Hearing this, Xue Zileng had no love for fighting, and fled quickly with He Le'an, but the other party seemed to have expected this hand, and after putting on a protective mask, he raised his sword and pointed it at He Le'an's heart!
