When Chu Xi woke up, the person was lying on the river beach, but fortunately, the sun was warm.

She didn't know how long she had been lying down, her wet clothes had dried, she tried to move, but the shoulder that was stabbed by Zhao Xunyan before hurt her so much that she gasped, and it was easy to sit up, only to find that there was no shadow of Zhao Xunyan around.

"Dead?" Chu Xi said lightly, if it is really dead, it is the best.

She reluctantly stood up and looked around, and there seemed to be no one but a dry riverbed and a gentle stream beside it, and there were dense woods on either side, and the sunlight was shining through, and she could see that there were dead branches and leaves, and no one had walked on them.

Chu Xi stepped forward with the stream, but before she left, she heard the sound of rustling in the forest behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a figure rushing out of the forest, holding the bracelet that should have been on her hand.

"You're not dead?" Chu Ji frowned, but Zhao Xunyan sneered: "Are you looking forward to my death?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at his arms, which were full of blood, and his clothes were torn, as if a wild beast had attacked him.

"As soon as it gets dark, wild beasts will run around here, do you think you alone can get out?" Zhao Xunyan sneered coldly, threw a bundle of dry firewood on the ground, and then slowly walked to the stream, took water and began to clean the wound.

Chu Xi did pause and didn't go any further, her body was also very weak now, and she didn't have the strength to run away at all, let alone the beast he mentioned.

She examined her body, and in addition to the attacking bracelet that had been removed, there was also the piece.

Zhao Xunyan came back from cleaning the wound, looked at her indifferent face, and smiled: "Don't worry, someone will come to pick us up soon." ”

"Who?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhao Xunyan didn't intend to tell her, but turned around and sat down next to the big stone on the side.

Chu Xi didn't want to look at him more, and walked straight to the stream, she found that the water was flowing to the southeast, and it should be inhabited by people along the stream, but she didn't know how far to find.

"Don't think about escaping, or let me find out once, and I'll break one of your hamstrings, so that you can't run for the rest of your life."

Zhao Xunyan's cold threatening voice came, Chu Xi ignored him, even if her limbs were useless, she would definitely leave.

The sun sank quickly, and the surroundings began to slowly darken, and the cool breeze on the stream made people feel refreshed, but Chu Xi didn't have a good mood to appreciate the scenery.

After Zhao Xunyan casually found some herbs around to stop the bleeding, he found a flint and steel and began to light the dry wood on the ground: "Are you hungry?" Zhao Xunyan lit the fire and suddenly asked.

Chu Xi stood by the stream, as if she hadn't heard his words, she was wondering who Zhao Xunyan said was the person who came back to save him. There is no way that anyone in the capital will come over again, could it be the gang of people in southern Xinjiang? But last time Lang Yueqiu escaped, according to Yan Yi's report, Lang Yueqiu should have been injured as well, and he would not have the kung fu to take care of him.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Xunyan put a smile on his face, and took a sharpened wooden stick on the side and walked in the direction of Chu Xi.

Chu Xi heard the voice behind her and turned her head suddenly, but Zhao Xunyan was already standing close to her.

She let out a soft snort, and her body fell uncontrollably into the stream.

"Zhao Xunyan, what are you doing!" Chu Ji was furious.

Zhao Xunyan looked at her simply sitting in the water and patting the water to lose her temper, inexplicably, he felt slightly warm in his heart, and stretched out his hand to her: "Get up." ”

Chu Xi glanced at his hand lightly, got up alone, and walked towards the fire.

Zhao Xunyan saw that she was still hateful, and his face was cold. But he only rolled up his trouser legs and went into the stream and began to catch fish.

Chu Xi found a place with sand, depicting the direction she vaguely remembered when she left, forget it, she should be a day's journey from the capital now, Lin Fu and they should be able to find it, but there was no movement for a long time, could it be that Zhao Xunyan deliberately took her in another direction.

Chu Xi thought of Lin Qingyu, he saw himself falling into the sea of fire, how anxious he should be, his injuries were not healed yet.

The thought of this made her annoyed, but now that she wanted to leave, she had to get out of the woods first, and she could only escape when she got to a crowded place.

"When are your people coming?" Glancing at Zhao Xunyan, who was already grilling fish, Chu Xi took the initiative to ask.

Zhao Xunyan was obviously very happy about her initiative, raised his chin slightly proudly, and gave her a piece of grilled fish: "Eat first." ”

"I'm not hungry"

"If you don't eat it, I won't tell you!"

"You!"

Seeing that she was angry, Zhao Xunyan's Danfeng eyes turned slightly, and a slight smile appeared.

Chu Xi endured this breath, took the grilled fish, ate it without knowing the taste, looked at him and was still chewing slowly, and said, "Can you say it now?" ”

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes to look at her, but he grinned and stretched out his hand towards her. I want to wipe away some of the dead leaves that she accidentally stuck to her hair: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Chu Xi looked at his warm eyes, only felt sarcastic in his heart, got up and stood on one side: "You won't let me go, I will also kill you, instead of pretending to be affectionate with me here, it is better to end it as soon as possible." ”

The emotion on Zhao Xunyan's face froze instantly, threw the fish in his hand to the side, clapped his hands and stood up, and glanced at her indifferently: "I won't kill you now, but if you want to kill me, I will definitely want you to be buried!" ”

"When are people coming!"

"It's coming." Zhao Xunyan no longer looked at her, only staring at the dark night sky in front of him, and his heart seemed to have the first ray of peace in decades. Is it because she is by her side, even if she glares at herself and wants to kill herself, it seems that as long as she is there, her heart feels much better.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Chu Xi didn't say anything more to him, walked to the stream, and after a simple wash, he sat far away from him. But the fatigue of her body soon made her unable to support it, and before she could speak much, she collapsed in the grass beside her and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Xunyan stared at her calmly, watching her still drag a sharp stone even though she fell asleep due to physical exhaustion. His teeth tightened slightly, he stepped up, put his hand on her neck several times, but in the end he still let go, and only snorted coldly: "This king does not allow himself to become lowly, so he will not do anything to you in this wilderness, but when you get outside, Chu Xi, I will immediately let you be my woman!" ”

Chu Xi vaguely heard his words, but she was a lot relieved in her heart, and when she got outside, her physical strength would recover a lot, and it would be a big deal when the fish died and the net was broken!

Zhao Xunyan held her and put her not far from the fire, took off his robe and put it on her, stood in front of her with his hands in his hands, looking at her sleeping appearance, there was a strange magic, which seemed to bring people closer, make people closer, and make people feel at ease.

She was also very beautiful when she was asleep, but she was a lot haggard, and her own knife stabbed her in the back, and she shed a lot of blood, and now the wound can still see the flesh that has been turned over, which must be very painful.

Zhao Xunyan raised his hand to touch the wound on her shoulder, but the fire was shining. Her facial features softened, and she didn't wake up to the harshness she faced herself.

He raised his hand to touch her face, but at this time, there was a movement in the bushes, he tensed all over, and pushed Chu Xi: "Wake up, there are fierce beasts." With that, he turned his head and quickly picked up the stick on the ground.

Chu Xi quickly sobered up, and when she saw it clearly, a white-haired tiger had already walked out not far away: "Give me the bracelet" Chu Xi said busily.

Zhao Xunyan thought about it, his face was slightly gloomy, and he took out a dagger no bigger than a palm and gave it to her: "Take it." Then he saw the tiger pounce on him.

At this time, on the official road in the capital, Lin Fu had not rested for two days and two nights, grabbed the reins and stopped, and looked at the people who came and went: "Is there still no clue?" ”

"Yes, we went down the stream and found a fork in the road, but we have to look for it in batches, my lord?"

"A fork in the road?" Lin Fu's face was slightly gloomy: "Okay." Find it in batches! As he was leaving, he heard the sound of a fight in the night.

"Adult"

Lin Fu didn't plan to meddle in things, but she saw a dark shadow hurriedly running towards her: "Help!" The bandits have killed people! ”

The woman who rushed over shouted, and when Lin Fu heard this voice, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his knife and joined the battle until he killed all the people who were chasing. Only then did he look at the black shadow who was about to slip away: "Green sandalwood!" ”

Lu Tan was stunned and looked back blankly: "Why are you?" ”

"I want to ask why you!" Lin Fu's face was dark: "Didn't you follow the Southern Xinjiang Mission all the way to the capital, why did you appear here?" What about your mission? ”

As soon as Lu Tan heard this, his arrogance disappeared: "Something happened, I want to go back to southern Xinjiang immediately." "The eldest brother colluded with Zhao Xunyan and Lang Yueqiu to such a scandal, she naturally didn't want to talk about it.

Lin Fu didn't have much doubts, he just wanted to save Chu Xi now, and looked at the road ahead: "Which direction are you going?" ”

"Just this way, go to Danxia Town in front to buy a horse, and then go back to southern Xinjiang." Green Sandalwood Road.

Lin Fu looked at it, and happened to be on the same road, so he said, "I'm also going to Danxia Town, let's go over together." With that, he turned over and got on his horse, and without further delay, he pointed to the person beside him: "Give her the horse." ”

Lu Tan bit his lip slightly, but still got on the horse.

The two of them rushed to Danxia Town overnight, and when they arrived, Lu Tan changed his clothes and disguised himself and bought a horse and left, while Lin Fu stayed to listen to the situation.

Lin Qingyu hadn't woken up yet, and the imperial doctor had seen it and said that the backlog of poison in his body had broken out, and he wouldn't live long at all.

Mrs. Hou cried on the side: "I'm not alive anymore, my son is gone, my daughter-in-law is gone, what's the point of me living!" ”

Zheng Yun followed to the side and looked at Imperial Physician Liu: "Can't you think of a way anymore, is it?" Zheng Yun was a dignified general, and couldn't help choking.

Imperial Physician Liu shook his head with a sigh, and raised his hand to Zhao Xuanyi, who was standing outside the prison: "Your Majesty, the old man is really powerless, if not, you should ask other imperial doctors to take a look." ”

"What other doctors do you invite, the hospital has the best medical skills for you, you must save him!" Zheng Yun said angrily.

Yun Songyi on the side hurriedly pulled him: "Okay, the emperor is still there, you can be quiet." ”

Zheng Yun endured it and looked at Zhao Xuanyi: "Your Majesty, please save Qing Yu, he is still so young, he is still there"

"Doctor Liu, is there really no other way?" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

The imperial doctor shook his head: "This poison has been accumulated for many years, and when he had gray hair, he was destined to have another attack, but now the poison is attacking his heart, and he can't wake up, I'm afraid there is no way." Imperial Physician Liu sighed and shook his head, packed up his things, and looked at Zhao Xuanyi again: "Your Majesty, the minister is also old, and now he can't get a needle accurately, I want to ask for my resignation and return to my hometown, and ask the emperor for permission." ”

Zhao Xuanyi's hands behind his back clenched tightly, looking at his gray hair and slightly trembling beard, and did not hinder much: "Your eldest son"

"The eldest son is not filial, and when he fights with others, he breaks his left hand, and I am afraid that he will not be able to practice medicine in this life, and the craft of decay can be passed on to the younger son in the future."

"Your young son is still in swaddling clothes, and when he can learn, you will also die." Zheng Yun said angrily.

Imperial Physician Liu raised his eyes to look at him: "You're here"

"Alright." Zhao Xuanyi didn't want to listen to their quarrel: "In that case, you can step down." ”

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Lin Qingyu, who was lying on the grass pile as white as paper, turned his head and retreated.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Yun wanted to say something, but Zhao Xuanyi only sank his face and turned around to leave, but Lin Zhuyin, who had never spoken, knelt down at him, and this kneeling made everyone stunned, including Zhao Xuanyi.

"Your Majesty, the grass people implore the emperor to let Qing Yu die at home, not in this prison. The crime he committed, the crime is not death, the grass people are willing to hand over all the property of the Lin family, and only ask the emperor to agree to let him go home! Lin Zhuyin's eyes were red. Mrs. Hou covered her mouth and cried silently, Zheng Yun saw this, and knelt down: "I am also willing to hand over all the things, Qingyu is in the court, even if there is a mistake, it is more merit than fault, and please ask the emperor to look at the past and let him go." ”

"Do you all think of me as a tyrant?" Zhao Xuanyi suppressed his anger, but his tone still couldn't hide his anger at the moment.

"The grass people don't dare!" Everyone knelt down and did not dare to speak.

Zhao Xuanyi turned his head and glanced at Lin Qingyu coldly, and after a while, he said: "After three days, if there is no sign of sobriety, you will be allowed to take it back." ”

"Three days" Mrs. Hou almost exclaimed, Lin Qingyu had been running around for several days without eating for the previous matter, and now he had three more days, even a good person would starve to death.

"What, is there a problem?" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

"Nope." Lin Zhuyin was resolute.

When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he said, "You all retreat." ”

"Yes!" Lin Zhuyin got up without saying a word, and helped Mrs. Hou out of the prison together.

Zheng Yun stood in place, he was disappointed in Zhao Xuanyi before, but now he was disgusted.

Fortunately, Yun Songyi was still there, and pulled his sleeve: "Let's go." ”

"Wait." Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Yun Songyi, he remembered that Yun Songyi was Chu Xi's most partial-favorite friend, thinking of the missing Chu Xi, Zhao Xuanyi's heart softened a little: "Although Zheng Yun has repeatedly violated my will, but I don't have to worry about him, I am here today to marry the two of you, Yun Songyi gave the title of Wupin County Lord, and chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage, which can be regarded as a joy for Qing Yu." ”

Yun Songyi never thought that he would actually give her a marriage at this time, but he could give her the county lord of Wupin, did he want to entrap her?

If she was ignorant before, she would really be grateful, but the stupid Yun Songyi from before was long gone.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness." Yun Songyi pulled Zheng Yun's sleeve again, and Zheng Yun reluctantly bowed his hand.

After they left, Zhao Xuanyi looked at their backs, his eyes drooped slightly, this Zheng Yun was also like Lin Qingyu, driven by a little woman, if this Miss Yun was here, and Mrs. Yun was there, he wouldn't dare to make a mistake, and he wouldn't have to be named ungrateful.

Zhao Xuanyi walked into the prison, looking at Lin Qingyu, whose face had never changed at all, and was as angry as a gossamer, he asked everyone to retreat, and he took a stool beside him and sat down.

"Today's situation must be unexpected by you." Zhao Xuanyi asked slowly, naturally, Lin Qingyu still didn't respond at all. The feeling of finally winning him made him feel happy, but he was ashamed of being so extreme, but no matter how shameful he was, he would not stop, and he would not leave any of the people who stood in his way.

Zhao Xuanyi stared at him, he was still just lying there, as if he was dead, without any movement.

"I don't know if you're pretending to be dead or if you're really passing out, but I can promise you that as long as you can survive these three days, I'll let you go, but you have to remember that I let you out because of your past achievements! The head of a country, what to do, what to do, I think you should know very well. Zhao Xuanyi said, then stood up, turned his head and left directly.

When the prison became quiet again, Lin Qingyu slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were as bright as ice.

When the sky was white, the dying white tiger finally broke off its breath completely.

The dagger in Chu Xi's hand stabbed into its stomach fiercely, while one of Zhao Xunyan's arms was still in its mouth, and the other hand was covered with blood, clutching the wooden stick that had pierced its head.

When the white tiger died, Zhao Xunyan glanced at Chu Xi, who was also injured and bleeding: "Are you okay?" ”

Chu Ji glanced at him, pulled out the dagger, and silently walked to the stream to clean up the blood stains on his body, but his clothes were full of blood, and he couldn't clean it up even if he wanted to.

"We're going to get out as soon as possible." Chu Ji said firmly.

"Aren't you afraid that there will be more of these beasts in the woods?"

"Isn't it just sitting still to stay here?" Chu Xi looked at the hideous wound on his arm, clenched the dagger in his hand, and couldn't wait to step forward and finish him off now. He had ruined his previous life, and in this life, she would not allow him to ruin his hard-won home and happiness again.

Sensing the murderous aura in Chu Xi's eyes, Zhao Xunyan stopped his hand to clean up the wound, sneered, and raised the bracelet that originally belonged to her at her: "Do you think you are fast or I am fast?" ”

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth raised coldly: "Then you should be worried all the time, I will definitely finish you off with my own hands." With that, he walked down the stream.

Zhao Xunyan looked at her and said coldly: "Wait here, Lang Yueqiu won't let me die." ”

"Why?"

"Because her life is tied to me, if I die, she won't want to live." Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly, his signal flare has been released for two days, and Lang Yueqiu's people should be here soon.

Chu Xi still didn't believe it, but at this time, there was another sound in the forest, and just as she was about to fight to the death, more than a dozen people in black came out.

"Zhao Xunyan?"

"Are you from Lang Yueqiu?" Zhao Xunyan stepped forward and showed his waist card as the leader: "We are the people of the eldest prince, come with us." After that, he turned around and entered the forest again, but before he walked a few steps, he saw Chu Xi on the side: "Why are you still taking her with you?" ”

"She's still useful."

"Hmph." The leader sneered: "Marquis Anping has been demoted to a commoner, and the regent was thrown into prison by their emperor and is about to die, what's the use of her?" Kill" said that, he came directly with his sword, Zhao Xunyan raised his hand and opened his sword: "Are you sure Lin Qingyu is dead?" ”

The leader frowned: "The news has come out, and he is dying." ”

"That is, he is not dead, and if he is not dead, something may happen, and I know better than you who he is. Cats have nine lives, and he's afraid they have ten. Zhao Xunyan said.

Seeing him say this, the leader did not stop him anymore, anyway, in their opinion, Chu Xi was just a little woman, but they didn't notice that Chu Xi's eyes were already red with hatred at this time.

Coming out of the forest, the group got on the horse directly and rushed forward, but Zhao Xunyan was already exhausted: "We have to find a place to rest first, I need medicine." ”

The leader glanced at his arm, and his face was cold: "There is a Danxia town in front." After that, he drove away directly, Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Xi, who was grabbed by another black-clothed man and placed on the horse, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Fu's side, after inquiring around in Danxia Town, there was no news suspected of Chu Xi and Zhao Xunyan at all, so they planned to continue to look for it, so they packed their bags early in the morning, changed their horses and went forward, what he didn't see was that in a small alley not far from this inn, Chu Xi was covered and pressed into the corner, watching Lin Fu leave.

After Lin Fu left, Zhao Xunyan walked out; "I knew that Lin Qingyu had other arrangements."

"What now?"

"Don't worry, they are in front, let's just follow the back slowly, anyway, the eldest prince is already going in the direction of southern Xinjiang, Lang Yueqiu is afraid that he has already arrived in southern Xinjiang at this time, and we don't care about it later, besides, they don't necessarily go to southern Xinjiang." After that, he looked at Chu Xi, who seemed to have calmed down and her eyes were indifferent, and said, "Keep an eye on her, she has a lot of ghost ideas, after all, this is still their territory." ”

"Yes!"

Several people went to the inn together, and the innkeeper secretly looked at the wanted notice, his face turned white all of a sudden, and he was busy trembling; "A few masters, the small shop is small, and now it is full, you see this"

The leader didn't notice the abnormality, and only said with a calm face; "Then you come up with something to eat first, I'm dying of hunger."

"Eat and eat, and there is no food," the shopkeeper continued to tremble.

"Who are you fooling!"

Zhao Xunyan stopped him, stared at the slightly trembling corners of the shopkeeper's mouth, and approached with a smile: "Say, why don't you give us a guest room?" ”

"I'm a little one"

"Say!" The leader directly showed his sword, and the shopkeeper took out the wanted warrant hidden under the counter, and there was a portrait of Zhao Xunyan painted inside, but a portrait of Chu Xi was found.

Zhao Xunyan frowned and looked outside: "Dao, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so set off immediately." ”

"What about your injuries"

"Let's go to the next place and buy medicine." Zhao Xunyan looked back at Chu Xi: "I didn't expect it to be Zhao Xuanyi looking for you." ”

Chu Ji didn't respond, but Zhao Xunyan grabbed her and threw her on the horse, and left Danxia Town quickly on horseback.

The shopkeeper saw that they were all leaving, so he sat down on the ground with weak legs, and Xiao Er saw a hairpin falling from the ground, and hurriedly picked it up and gave it to him: "Shopkeeper, you see, this is the lady who just left." ”

Thinking of Chu Xi's portrait, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Quick, send it to the official mansion!" ”

Chu Xi was knocked unconscious halfway, and when she woke up again, she had already arrived in an unknown town, and it was already dark outside, but the lights were still on in her room, and there was some food on the table.

Chu Xi reluctantly got up, and found that the wounds on her body had been treated, and her clothes had been changed, and her face sank suddenly.

The door creaked open, and Chu Xi was vigilant to get the dagger, but all the daggers on her body were taken away, leaving only a ribbon to tie her hair.

"You're awake."

It was a little girl's voice, Chu Xi looked over and saw that she was only seven or eight years old, holding a wooden basin in her hand. There was a white towel.

"It was the wound that I treated with my mother, and I changed my clothes, but we didn't take the Zhu Hai jewelry, all of it was taken by the son who accompanied you, and the son asked me to take this to you." After she finished speaking, she put down the wooden basin, took out a cloth bag from her chest, opened it, and inside was a hosta with a plum blossom head.

"This boy treats you so well." The little girl smiled and spoke, but looking at Chu Xi's always cold face, she closed her mouth timidly: "Madam, do you want me to help you do anything?" ”

"Where is this?"

"This is Yunhai County, after we are here, we will go to southern Xinjiang." The little girl smiled, turned her head and took the buns: "You can eat something, I heard them say that you have been asleep for three or four days, and you haven't eaten." ”

"Three or four days?" Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, and she got off the bed, but before she could go out, the man in black guarding the door stopped her with murderous intent: "Go to southern Xinjiang as soon as dawn, don't you want to play tricks again!" ”

Chu Xi snapped the door shut, looked at the food on the table, and felt that his stomach was empty, and he didn't have the strength to pinch the chopsticks, so he planned to drink some soup first.

"Don't"

The little girl hurriedly stopped her and lowered her voice: "Just eat buns." Then he waved his hand at the other food.

Chu Xi reacted immediately. She was telling herself that other foods were poisonous, but Chu Xi didn't believe her completely, but whether there was poison or drugs, she still didn't eat it, and she would set off as soon as it was dawn, and when they arrived at the inn outside, they were always not good at blatantly drugged.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, the little girl hurriedly stuffed one into her mouth, and then whispered: "It's a girl named Green Sandalwood who asked me to help you." ”

Chu Xi's figure paused slightly, looking at her suspiciously, how could she know about Green Sandalwood? And didn't the green sandalwood sneak into the capital quietly?

Seeing that she was suspicious, the little girl took out an opal from her sleeve, Chu Xi saw it, so she believed it, this cat's eye spar is green sandalwood, strung into a bracelet and worn on her hand, it should not easily fall into the hands of others.

"What else did she say to you?"

"She just said let me take this thing and give it to you when you wake up." The little girl took out a very small folded piece of paper, Chu Xi bowed slightly, but she was impatient outside: "Okay?" ”

The little girl nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay." After that, he picked up the basin of water on the ground and said to Chu Xi: "Madam, then I will come over tomorrow morning to serve." With that, he hurriedly ran away with the basin of water.

Chu Xi looked at the people who were still guarding the door, sat at the table and began to prepare dinner, and when those people saw that there was nothing abnormal, they turned their heads and continued to guard.

Chu Xi opened the note, and Lu Tan said that she should be at ease, and wait until she arrived in southern Xinjiang, where she could go back to the royal family for help, but here, she was completely alone.

Chu Xi thought of Lin Fu, since Lu Tan knew the news, then Lin Fu should also know, why didn't he come over at all.

She lit the letter and burned it, drowned the ashes in the teacup, and then turned around and went to the window, she wanted to open the window, but the window had been nailed shut, she had no way to escape, but there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then stopped in front of her door, Chu Xi frowned slightly, and was busy looking for some pieces of paper in the room and throwing them on the table, and saw Zhao Xunyan walking in.

Zhao Xunyan smelled the smell of paper being burned outside, and when he came in and saw Chu Xi burning paper, he looked left and right, and the people around quickly stepped forward to extinguish the fire, but when he took a closer look at the words on it, it was just some waste paper.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xunyan asked in a cold voice.

Chu Xi didn't look at him, and lightly threw the waste paper in his hand to the side: "What, I'm afraid I'll burn here?" ”

"If you burn this place, you will be the first to die." Zhao Xunyan sneered. Walked up to her and looked at her face that had recovered a little blood, and then said: "Don't you want to do anything, I have already ordered to go down, but if you have any signs of escaping, don't ask me, kill you directly." So, you'd better give me a little bit of peace! He raised his hand to pinch Chu Xi's chin, but Chu Xi avoided him.

"You're here to say that?"

"Of course not." Zhao Xunyan saw that his hand was empty, withdrew it lightly, smiled and looked at Chu Xi, who was still full of hatred for himself, and only said, "I came here just to talk to you." ”

"But I don't want to tell you."

"Really? You don't want to talk about your past life? Zhao Xunyan Wan'er: "And I also heard that Lin Qingyu's illness requires an extremely important medicine primer, which is the Lianxin Gu, and in my body, there is this rumored Lianxin Gu that has long been extinct, don't you want to?" ”

"Is it the Heart Connecting Gu in your body?" Chu Xi was slightly surprised, but remembering what he said before, he was tied to Lang Yueqiu's life and death, I was afraid that it was the power of this Lianxin Gu.

Zhao Xunyan saw that she finally had emotions other than hatred, so he raised his hand to make everyone retreat and sit down opposite Chu Xi's table.

"That's right, I have the medicine you want in my body, if you escape. Lin Qingyu is really no one who can save him. Zhao Xunyan looked at her as if she had made a decision, and said expectantly: "How is it, are you still running?" ”

"You're not afraid I'll kill you."

"If you kill you, just before I kill you and kill Lin Qingyu." His narrow eyes became more and more cold, knowing that she was still obsessed with Lin Qingyu, so he wanted to kill her now: "Chu Xi, since you could sacrifice yourself for me in your previous life, why can't you in this life?"

"Because that Chu Ji is dead." Chu Xi didn't want to talk to him about the things of the previous life, originally with the departure of the child in her womb, she was about to gradually let go of the things in her previous life, but he chased after him.

"Aren't you alive and well? You must be able to remember the feeling of affection in your previous life."

Chu Xi raised his eyes to look at him and sneered: "Let's not say that I only have hatred for you, even if I can really remember, it just makes me feel ashamed, I once hated myself, how could I be infatuated with the wrong payment, how could I be at your mercy, and finally let you trample my true heart under my feet, killing all the relatives around me." ”

Zhao Xunyan's palms tightened slightly: "If I hadn't killed it"

"There are no ifs." Chu Xi stood up, no longer willing to talk to him more: "What happened is what happened, there is never anything if it is not if." I won't run away, but Zhao Xunyan, I will definitely dig out your heart! "It's like in your previous life you threw my heart on the ground and crushed it.

Zhao Xunyan looked at her extremely indifferent face, and the sourness in his heart became more and more, but he refused to admit it. He is now so lowly that he knows that she is going to kill him, and he loves her so much that he is willing to let her kill him.

Zhao Xunyan stood up, looked at her indifferent eyes, and there was a strange pain in his heart, which had been heard many times when she was about to kill herself, and this pain had come, making him want to dig out this heart.

"Chu Xi, you"

"And what you did to me in your previous life, didn't you also do it to Chu Zhenzhen in this life, it's just that I am different from her, he can ruin one of your eyes and appearance, but I don't."

Chu Xi's words successfully angered Zhao Xunyan, and he directly pulled out his sword and lowered Chu Xi's eyes: "Believe it or not, I can also gouge out one of your eyes!" ”

Chu Xi's chin raised slightly: "Do you feel inferior now?" ”

"Chu Xi!" Zhao Xunyan became more and more ashamed, in front of his beloved, he hoped that he was perfect, which made her admire, not her current disdainful eyes and sarcastic words.

Chu Xi didn't speak, her face was as calm as the night.

Zhao Xunyan used all his strength to suppress his anger, and raised his hand to directly cut a blood mark on her neck: "Don't think I really dare to kill you, Chu Xi, you think clearly, you have followed me out for so long, do you think that your reputation for chastity is still there?" Do you think you'll really be able to go back to the way you were? No way, unless you marry me and enjoy this glory and supreme power with me. "Say it. He withdrew the sword in his hand and walked away.

When he walked out of the room, Chu Xicai softened, sat on the stool, turned his head to look at the black shadow that flashed outside the gap in the window, found a tool to pry the window open, and the person outside whispered: "Retreat." ”

Chu Xi hurriedly retreated, and the people outside shook the window open with internal force, while Chu Xi took the opportunity to flip the things on the table to the ground, shouting outside: "Zhao Xunyan, you will regret it!" ”

The guards outside were about to push open the door, but when they heard this, they smiled at each other and withdrew their hands.

Chu Xi looked at Lu Tan, who was dressed in night clothes, and hurriedly asked her to boo, and pulled her to the corner before whispering: "You didn't say"

"I sent a message to Lin Fu, but he ran the wrong way, and it will be a few days before he comes, so I can't wait to come over first." Lu Tan's eyes were slightly wet: "Let's leave now." After that, he pulled Chu Xi to leave, but Chu Xi paused: "Zhao Xunyan has what I want, I have to go to southern Xinjiang, you go out for a while, send a message to Lin Fu and tell him to let him wait for me in southern Xinjiang." ”

"Something, worth the risk you take." Green Sandalwood hurriedly grabbed her.

Chu Xi raised her eyes to look at her: "What is it that made you venture to sneak into the capital, but now you appear here?" ”

Green sandalwood was slightly stunned. But lowered his eyes: "This matter is a long story." ”

"Then let's not talk about it first, you go out this time, and then help me find out where Lang Yueqiu is, if you can catch her, it's best." Chu Xi remembered what Zhao Xunyan had just said, if Lang Yueqiu also had a heart Gu on his body, why did she have to fight with him here.

Lu Tan looked very surprised: "Lang Yueqiu also returned to Southern Xinjiang?" ”

"Hmm."

Chu Xi saw that she seemed to have something to say: "Is it also related to her when you went to the capital this time?" ”

Lu Tan bit his lip slightly: "The eldest brother said that he wanted to resolve the contradiction between her and her father, but he didn't expect that he wanted to collude with Zhao Xunyan and seek to seize the throne." ”

"Have you sent a message back to the palace?" Chu Xi hurriedly asked.

Green sandalwood bowed: "It's passed, but there should be a lot of people around the father and the queen mother, so I'm worried"

Chu Xi saw that there were footsteps outside again, and pushed her: "You go to Southern Xinjiang first and protect yourself, since Zhao Xunyan cooperates with your eldest brother again, he will definitely show up in the royal family, and we will see you then." ”

Lu Tanman nodded, and went out with a smoke, Chu Xi sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, looked at Zhao Xunyan who turned back again, and looked at him coldly: "What, you still want to kill me?" ”

Zhao Xunyan looked at the messy and pried open windows, and sneered: "We will set off for southern Xinjiang now." With that, he turned his head and left, Chu Xi also got up, and there was nothing to clean up anyway.

She picked up the ribbon on the side, simply picked out two strands of hair and braided them behind her head, as for Zhao Xunyan's hairpin, after thinking about it, she still put it in her sleeve.

When I came out, it was dark outside, and the carriage was ready.

Chu Xi glanced at Zhao Xunyan, who was already sitting in the carriage, gritted his teeth slightly, and stepped up to follow.

Entering southern Xinjiang, crossing a choppy river, you will arrive at the capital.

Chu Xi carefully observed that the capital of southern Xinjiang was not like they generally sold fat powder jewelry, but more Gu worms.

As soon as they arrived in the capital, they were greeted by guards in the palace.

Chu Xi didn't know what they were talking about, she only secretly remembered the way, looked around, and followed them to the inn where Zhao Xunyan was staying temporarily, waiting for the opportunity.

Lin Qingyu here, three days have passed, he has not shown any signs of recovery, Zhao Xuanyi has found a doctor to come over to show him for three consecutive days, and he has the same conclusion as Imperial Doctor Liu, so he let him go.

When Mrs. Hou saw Lin Qingyu, she only shed tears in distress: "Qingyu, why are you suffering." You've really driven the poison into your gut, but it's true."

Lin Qingyu lay on the bed, looked at the light coming in through the window, coughed violently, and then spit out a mouthful of black blood, and finally recovered, before he shushed: "Save my sister first, besides, if I don't do this, he won't let me go." ”

Mrs. Hou was distressed when she heard this, and turned her head to Lin Zhuyin and beat her: "Look at it, this is the king you have to protect, what are they?"

"Okay, madam, if this is heard, we won't be able to get out of the capital." Lin Zhuyin said busily.

Lin Qingyu looked at the angry Zheng Yun who was standing aside, and said, "Has Lin Fu come back with the news?" ”

Zheng Yun remembered it at this time, and nodded hurriedly: "I said that the princess is fine, but she insists on going to southern Xinjiang, let you not worry, Zhao Xunyan doesn't dare to kill her at this time." ”

Mrs. Hou was slightly surprised: "What is she going to do in southern Xinjiang?" ”

Zheng Yun shook his head and only said: "You better hurry out of the city, if you let the emperor know that the prince is fine, I'm afraid it will be again."

"Hmm." Mrs. Hou also hurriedly nodded: "Mei Niang, I have already contacted me, there are many guards and Wuji outside the city to answer, we will leave in a while, sooner rather than later." ”

"The rest of the Nahou Mansion"

"Don't worry, I have already asked them to resign and return to their hometown, Xiao Fu'er and Aunt Fu handed over to Miss Yun, it should be fine." As Mrs. Hou spoke, the maid on the side went down to pack her clothes.

Lin Qingyu lay quietly on the bed, and as soon as he left, he was no longer responsible for Zhao Xuanyi.

Before the things were confiscated, I heard that Yang Ying was coming.

"Why is she here again!" Zheng Yun has no good impression of Yang Ying.

Mrs. Hou looked at Lin Qingyu and nodded: "Let her in first." ”

Not long after, Yang Ying, who was dressed in plain clothes, came in, knelt down in front of Lin Qingyu without saying anything, and slammed his head at him three times: "These three rings, one is to thank the prince and Sister Ji'er for their help, and the other is that I will make amends for you for the Yang Mansion, although it is not enough, but if there is a need to go to a place in the future, I Yang Ying will never hesitate." ”

Yang Ying's eyes were red, and there was already a large bruise on the place where she kowtowed, Mrs. Hou couldn't look at it, and sighed and said: "No need, you get up first, I hope you will have more snacks in the future, Yang Ci's child is also a good one, don't do it again"

"Yes." Yang Ying lowered her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, then took out a black dark iron token from her sleeve that looked a little damaged, and handed it to Lin Qingyu: "This is what my grandfather asked me to give you." My grandfather is not in good health, and I can only come over because of my brother. ”

"What is this?" Mrs. Hou was puzzled, but Zheng Yun couldn't keep her mouth shut in shock: "Isn't it that the Yang family really has 100,000 elite soldiers at the border!" ”

"It's not the Yang family, but these people are loyal to the Yang family's several generals who were born and died, the Yang family has made an agreement with them, this order can only be used once, and it will be invalid after one time, my grandfather has never used it for so many years, this time I hope it can help you a little, and it can be regarded as the Yang family's modest efforts." Yang Ying choked slightly.

Mrs. Hou looked at it and sighed softly. The Yang family, the old and the young, are all killed on the battlefield in the prime of life, and now they want to call a girl out, not to mention the word 'sad' can tell all the suffering.

Lin Qingyu did not refuse this token: "Thank you for me, the old general." ”

Yang Ying saw him accept it, and her mood stabilized a little: "When I came, I saw a lot of ordinary people walking back and forth outside the mansion, and I don't know if they are spying on you, but my grandfather asked me to tell you." If you want to go, go now, and he will help you. ”

"Old General" Lin Zhuyin was a little worried: "The Yang family hasn't let the emperor kill yet, you are still"

"Grandfather said that no matter what, the Yang family is dead. Ruined, destroyed, there is no Yang Jiajun in the world, it doesn't matter what the emperor does, after a thousand years, the world has its own comments. With that, Yang Ying turned around and said goodbye.

Zheng Yun admired this veteran general more and more, Lin Zhuyin glanced at Lin Qingyu: "Can you go?" ”

"Yes, and today, I have to leave."

Yun Songyi and Mrs. Yun also bought a small house outside to live in, but today they did not hide at home, but went to Yan's mansion, and now Yan Jifu is a third-grade master, very majestic, I thought I would not see Yun Songyi again, but I didn't know that she actually found the door.

Since the eldest master was imprisoned, the eldest lady seemed to wilt, and the second lady only trembled and took her youngest son to live.

Yun Songyi glanced at his mother and said with a smile: "Mother, are you ready?" ”

Mrs. Yun smiled: "It's really a little embarrassing to do this for the first time, but if I can help them, that's it." ”

"Good!"

After Yun Songyi finished speaking, he lifted the gong and ping-pong in his hand and knocked it out. attracted a lot of attention, and Mrs. Yun also started her performance: "Yan Jifu, you come out for me, why don't you give my family Yi'er a dowry, it was left to her by his grandfather, you are a scholar, you actually do such a thing, don't you lose your conscience!" ”

Mrs. Yun complained, and Yun Songyi also cried: "That is, you yourself covet the concubine of the king's family, and send things to his house every day, but you don't even want to pay me back my one hundred and twenty-four dowry, what kind of heart do you have!" ”

Their mother and daughter, you and I said a word, which instantly aroused everyone's interest, and there were more and more onlookers.

When Yan Jifu rushed over, his face turned green with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"Nonsense?" Yun Songyi snorted and cried: "You also stole someone's belly pocket and hid it all day long, and you don't know how to be ashamed, and now you don't blush when you pit my dowry." I can tell you, I have been married by the emperor, and I will be married in a few days, and if you don't give me back the dowry, I will go to sue the emperor!" ”

"You!" Even though Yan Jifu has become ruthless, he has been a scholar for decades. Thin-skinned, Yun Songyi accused him of stealing other people's concubines' belly pockets in public, isn't this a shame for him.

"What nonsense do I have? I saw it with my own eyes! "The two of you are talking to me, and they are getting more and more energetic, and even the secret guards hiding nearby are distracted and distracted.

Lin Zhuyin and the courtyard where they temporarily live are only one street away from here, Yun Songyi is beating gongs and shouting and arguing here, not to mention the onlookers who let out a cry of surprise, those secret guards guarding the Lin Mansion are very powerful, naturally they all listen softly, this Yan Jifu is usually a handsome son, and now he is arguing with his sister at the gate about whether to steal the belly pocket of the concubine in the Wang's house, this is a joke can be laughed at for a year.

While they were distracted, someone immediately rushed behind them and silently slit their throats.

The Lin family also disguised themselves as ordinary people, got into the carriage and went all the way to the city gate.

At the city gate at this time, General Yang asked people to help him, and his face turned red with anger.

"I'm going to send some of my wife's relics to be buried, why can't I do it, my Yang family is full of loyalty, how can I not get out of this door!"

The guard at the door pursed his lips and said disdainfully in his voice: "You are not a general now, we see that you have also fought a few battles, and we have made it clear to you, if you want to go out, you must search inside and out, but you have to insist on what you can't see the light, aren't you embarrassing us?" After that, he sneered lightly: "When you are old, you don't have a clear mind." ”

"You guys!" The little guy on the side was so angry: "If it weren't for my general, would you have lived a stable life for so many years?" ”

"Then it's not just your generals on the battlefield, how old are you, dare to talk to us like this?" The guard stared at him with a fierce face and was about to draw his sword, and the old general stepped forward: "If you have the ability, you will cut me, if you can't kill me, I will get out of this city gate!" ”

When the guard heard this, he snorted coldly: "I'll see if I can fly a fly out of here today!" ”

"That's the way you talk to the old general?" A carriage came galloping, a slightly unfamiliar voice came, and the two guards looked at the low-key and ordinary carriage, and snorted coldly: "What are you?"

"What's that?" The carriage curtain was lifted, and Zhao Ke looked at them with a smile: "Now that you can see it clearly, what are you talking about this king?" ”

As soon as the two saw that it was Zhao Ke, the seventh prince who had just been named Prince Yu, they knelt down and saluted: "My subordinates don't know that it is Prince Yu, please be magnanimous."

"Alright, alright." Zhao Ke didn't mean to punish them, he looked at the old general with angry faces and red eyes, and said, "Tell me, what's wrong here?" I see the old general carrying the coffin, why are you arguing and doing it? ”

"That's the case" The guard hurriedly explained the matter of Fang Cai, and said: "Lord, this is the emperor's order, you can't let people out casually, we can't do it." ”

Old General Yang was so angry that his face turned pale: "You are clearly it"

"Okay, okay, a ball of harmony, harmony makes money, what do you look like?" Zhao Ke looked at the old general and said, "Old general, you just sell this king a face, let them take a look, and let them go at a glance, okay?" ”

"Lord Wang, this"

"Okay." General Yang reluctantly agreed, but the two guards couldn't, so they had to rush forward to take a look, but the coffin was empty, only a few thin shirts, and they couldn't hide people, so they carefully looked at the dozen or so figures accompanying him, and when he saw that there was no problem, he let him go.

Zhao Ke saw that General Yang was gone, so he looked at the guards guarding the city: "You guys, fortunately, you met this king, if you meet a master with a big temper, you have to pick your skin, treat loyal ministers like this at the city gate, isn't this a sign of smashing the emperor." After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he looked at them and hurriedly thanked them, and then raised his hand: "That's it, this king is too lazy to care." Go home! ”

When the two guards saw him leave, they were all apprehensive: "Fortunately, it is the kind Prince Yu." ”

The two continued to guard the city gate, and from the direction where Zhao Ke left, another carriage that looked very ordinary came, and a small guy came out of the carriage, and took out the token of Prince Yu's mansion: "My prince is going to talk to the old general about something."

The two guards looked at the waist card, and did not wonder why the carriage had changed, and hurriedly opened the way to let them go.

The carriage went away, Zhao Ke also went back to the palace, went back to the palace and touched his sleeves, with a smile in his eyes, but said anxiously: "Which of you has seen the waist card of this king?" ”
