After resting in the inn for a day, Chu Xi was still in a state of being guarded, except for Xiao Er, who came to deliver food, and the medical girl who came to change her medicine, no one came, not even Zhao Xunyan himself.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chu Xi stood in front of the window, looking at the people patrolling back and forth downstairs, her face slightly gloomy.

The door creaked open, Chu Xi turned around, and saw Zhao Xunyan coming over with food.

He put on a mask, Xu wanted to cover the ruined eye and face, and glanced at Chu Xi lightly: "Come and eat, I'll eat with you." "He heard that Chu Xi didn't eat breakfast or lunch, so he came here on purpose.

Chu Xi didn't want to share the same table with him, but eating with him at least meant that there was no poison in the meal.

"Why don't you eat breakfast and lunch?" Zhao Xunyan asked in a deep voice after sitting down, looking at Chu Ji who had already sat opposite him and started eating, the corners of his mouth hooked: "Afraid that I will poison you?" ”

Chu Xi ignored him, now that he has come to southern Xinjiang, he will definitely collude with the so-called eldest prince, and as for Lang Yueqiu, he will appear sooner or later.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Xunyan was not angry, he was thinking about slowly domesticating her now, if she gave in so easily, he wouldn't be so interested.

"Come with me into the palace tomorrow." Zhao Xunyan said suddenly.

Chu Xi Sheng Tang's hand paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at him, he took the initiative to take himself into the palace, wasn't he worried that he would conspire with Lu Tan to escape?

As if guessing her thoughts, Zhao Xunyan sneered, took a soup spoon and filled her with soup before saying: "Don't think about running away, Lang Yueqiu is no longer able to move with green sandalwood, if you don't want to hurt her, it's best not to play tricks tomorrow, otherwise, no one can save you, don't forget, she also has a younger brother who is still in swaddling clothes, if the eldest prince and Lang Yueqiu are forced to be anxious, I don't know if this child can still live." ”

After he finished speaking, he got up and seemed to explain: "I have indeed drugged the food you have given you, but the amount is not much, it can make you fall into a lethargy every day, but it is not harmful to your body, if you don't play any tricks again, I can consider not drugging you again." ”

Chu Ji looked at the soup in front of him and didn't move again, only raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xunyan: "Do you still think that you can kill and get the throne?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xunyan's eyes lit up even more: "That position should have been mine!" After speaking, he gave her a cold look, turned around and went out.

Chu Xi got up, and after washing up briefly, the feeling of sleepiness quickly hit. She knew that Zhao Xunyan would not do anything to herself for the time being, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the only fire in the room that seemed to be jumping, and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhao Xunyan came out of the room to take the antidote, stood at the door for a long time, or turned his head back to the room, originally wanted Chu Xi to have a long memory, but when he came in, he saw her leaning on the head of the bed and falling asleep.

Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy, but there was a strange annoyance and worry in his heart: "It's so powerful in the capital, but now it seems dull to come out!" With that, he stepped forward a few steps, raised his hand and put it on her waist, and the heart that wanted to take off her clothes disappeared for some reason, so he only held her and lay down on her back, and then folded the thin quilt for her.

Looking at her sleeping appearance, it was extremely quiet, no aggression, no hatred and no anger.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to caress her face, the cold touch made him come back to his senses suddenly, withdrew his hand, and looked at her fixedly, but he gritted his teeth in his heart: "I really owe you in my last life." I'm going to be tortured like this by you in this life! ”

At this time, someone also came outside, looking at his movements, and said with a little disdain: "Okay? ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Xunyan responded lightly, glanced at Chu Xi, and then turned to leave.

Before he left, Chu Xi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he barely opened his eyes, and the hairpin that he had been holding carefully in his hand was also put down.

When Zhao Xunyan saw Lang Yueqiu, he looked at her in a gorgeous palace costume and laughed: "I didn't expect the emperor of Southern Xinjiang to be so generous, he would actually forgive you, and he welcomed you into the palace and gave you an identity." ”

"Didn't I forgive him?" Lang Yueqiu sneered, and slowly removed the light veil underneath, for so many years, all her hatred was on the old emperor, but the negative man was dead, so she could only continue to hate the emperor in southern Xinjiang, her imperial brother, without hatred, she couldn't support herself to live: "I called you here this time, I didn't tell you these nonsense." If you want to cooperate with me again, you must kill Chu Xi, she will only be a stumbling block. ”

Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy: "What if I say no?" ”

"Do you think you have the right to say no to me now?" Lang Yueqiu sneered: "How good she can do bad things, I think you should know very well that although your fall to this point is not all due to her, she has also made a lot of efforts." Zhao Xunyan, don't tell me you're in love with her, huh? ”

Zhao Xunyan remembered that Zhen Niang had said the same thing to him before, but he only smiled and raised his eyes to look at her: "You and my lives are tied together, if you have to kill her, you are not afraid of me"

"Do you really think that the Heart Connecting Gu can't crack the method?" Lang Yue Qiu looked at him with disdain, approached slightly, and revealed her face full of pits: "If I want to kill you, it's as easy as a hand, if there is no way to solve the Lianxin Gu, do you think I will really put this Lianxin Gu in your stomach and put my life in your hands?" ”

"What method"

"You don't need to know this, I just want you to know, tomorrow you have to take Chu Xi into the palace, kill the emperor, and blame Chu Xi, if you can't do it, then you don't have to come out of the palace tomorrow." Lang Yueqiu said, turned his head and left.

Zhao Xunyan stood in place, watching everyone leave, before taking a deep breath and turning his head to leave.

Chu Ji woke up early the next morning, but Zhao Xunyan did not appear, only asked his subordinates to come and serve, threw her a set of brocade clothes for her to wear, and then took her to the carriage, and walked through the market not far to the gate of the palace.

The imperial palace in southern Xinjiang looks much smaller, but it is also more distinctive, a little less detailed in the Central Plains, but more beautiful.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Chu Xi saw Zhao Xunyan who was waiting at the door early, Zhao Xunyan glanced at Chu Xian, who had never changed his clothes, frowned slightly, but did not blame much: "After going in for a while, don't run around." ”

Chu Xi looked at him with a complicated complexion, as if he had something unspeakable, but he didn't mean to stop him, and he didn't ask much, he only lowered his eyebrows lightly, and when Zhao Xunyan left, he looked back at the guard on the side of the sedan chair, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he followed in.

All the way to the garden, when I arrived, I could see two men in brocade clothes sitting in the pavilion playing a game.

A palace maid hurriedly ran over and said something, and saw the old man withdraw his hand, and turned his head to look at them: "It's here." ”

Lang Yuehan hurriedly said: "Father, this is what the son of the minister said to you, Zhao Xunyan, the king of leisure." ”

"Well, I know him." The emperor of Southern Xinjiang glanced at Zhao Xunyan, looked at the mask on his face, and said with a smile: "But we in Southern Xinjiang have never had the heart to dominate. You haven't made it clear to me the purpose of joining forces with him this time, so isn't it inappropriate to take him into the palace without permission? ”

"I'll explain it to you in a moment." Lang Yuehan smiled.

The emperor smiled and bowed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Xunyan had already stepped forward and saluted them.

"Sit down, King of Pleasure." The Emperor laughed.

Zhao Xunyan and Lang Yuehan glanced at each other, Lang Yuehan bowed slightly, Zhao Xunyan understood, and sat down on the emperor's side.

Seeing Chu Xi, who was dressed in plain clothes, the emperor was surprised: "This is"

"She is the princess of our regent, and the regent has something to do on the road temporarily, so he entrusts this king to bring the princess regent over first." Zhao Xunyan said.

Chu Xi was a little stunned, didn't this emperor of Southern Xinjiang know about Zhao Xunyan's rebellion and defeat? No matter how bad it is, he should have heard about Qingyu being put in prison by Zhao Xuanyi, why don't he seem to know anything, and let Zhao Xunyan talk nonsense here. Could it be true that as Lu Tan said, the people around the emperor are already the eldest prince Lang Yuehan, so what about Lu Tan?

While Chu Xi was puzzled, Lang Yuehan smiled at her: "What is the princess thinking?" ”

Chu Xi sat down on the side and looked at him lightly, the calculation and cunning in his eyes, it was impossible for the emperor not to notice it.

"I'm wondering where is the green sandalwood."

After Chu Xi finished speaking, Zhao Xunyan's face sank: "Princess, we are not here to talk about private matters. ”

But the emperor was interested in the name 'Green Sandalwood': "I wonder who the princess is talking about?" It's the same as my Tan'er. ”

"That's it" Chu Xi was about to speak, when she heard Lang Yuehan say: "My father almost didn't think about it if he didn't mention his sons. Yesterday only came the news, Erchen asked Tan'er to take the envoy to stay for a few days and wait for me to pass, I didn't think she would run away by herself, Erchen is making people look for it at this time, and ask my father to punish him. ”

Chu Xi's eyebrows tightened slightly, but the emperor only smiled and waved his hand: "This child has been spoiled since she was a child, if she wants to play, you can let her play." ”

"Yes." After Lang Yuehan finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Xi as if he was warning, and then he talked to Zhao Xunyan about the so-called 'cooperation between the two countries' in a fake manner, and not long after, Lang Yuehan got up and said: "King Xiaoyao, the military books that my father and emperor treasured as I told you before, are you going to take a look at the books in front of you?" ”

"Isn't it just a matter of getting someone to take it." The emperor sipped the tea lightly, as if he did not notice anything abnormal.

Lang Yuehan arched his hand at him and said: "Father, such precious books, moving around, are also a little less heavy, and you have treasured a lot of other books in your collection, so that King Xiaoyao can also take a good look in the past, my southern Xinjiang, like the Central Plains, attaches great importance to culture and talents." ”

Zhao Xunyan also expressed great interest in going over to see it in person, and when the emperor heard this, he laughed: "In this case, then you can go over." ”

Chu Xi vaguely felt that something was wrong, looked at the guards around him with a faint murderous aura, and thought about it, it was impossible for them to do anything in broad daylight, so he put a heart back in his stomach, and as soon as they left, he told the old emperor the true situation of the green sandalwood, but heard Zhao Xunyan and said: "Yuehua, you stay and serve the princess." With that, he took a deep look at Chu Xi and left.

Yuehua was specially sent by Zhao Xunyan early this morning, and she was a first-class assassination master.

As soon as they left, Chu Xi got up, looked at the people around him who were vaguely about to draw their swords, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Langyue Qiu is also in the palace?" ”

When everyone heard Lang Yueqiu, they all withdrew their hands again, and the emperor looked at her with a smile: "That's right." ”

"Let's go look for her now, I have something very important to put in the princess's place, just waiting to enter the palace, go to her and get it and present it to the emperor." Chu Ji lied with a changed face, since it was a plan arranged by Zhao Xunyan and Lang Yueqiu, then it should not be difficult to go to Lang Yueqiu now, and then take the opportunity to tell the emperor the truth on the way, besides, in this palace, it is impossible for all of them to be Lang Yuehan's people, although the emperor did not have many political achievements when he was young, he was not stupid, and the person who found the emperor himself would be out of danger at that time.

However, the emperor didn't seem to notice what she meant, just sat upright, looked at a game of chess on the table, and said: "Things are not in a hurry, I heard that the princess is unparalleled in the world, so it is better to come and play a game of chess with me." ”

The princess?

Chu Xi blinked, since this emperor knew that he was the princess of the Marquis of Anping, he should know the truth, and he still heard Zhao Xunyan and Lang Yuehan talking nonsense there, could he have done it on purpose?

Chu Xi sat down and started to play chess suspiciously, but Yuehua on the side began to be restless, her palms turned slightly, and there were already five poisonous needles in her hands, and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids also slowly changed their faces and were ready.

Just as they were about to make a move, the emperor suddenly said: "The regent and I have also had a relationship, and the Marquis of Anping and I are old friends, they have been traveling abroad for so many years, and I envy the life of a fairy couple like them." ”

Chu Xi was even more surprised, if so, this emperor should know all the circumstances.

"But"

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I originally planned to detain you in southern Xinjiang so that they could listen to my orders, but you just wanted to save me, and you are Tan'er's friend. I'm just right. ”

Chu Xi stared at him and listened to what he said, Yuehua and the other assassins couldn't wait to kill him.

The emperor still played chess calmly: "Princess Shizi, it's your turn." ”

Chu Xi didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, so he looked at the large wave of guards who rushed out again, so he had to pick up a black chess piece and drop it at will.

These assassins couldn't get close to the emperor at all, Chu Xi looked at him leisurely and drinking tea with a teacup, and couldn't help but ask, "Lu Tan has returned?" ”

"Hmm." The emperor said lightly, and picked up another white chess piece and fell, Chu Xi was already dead for a large piece of chess, the emperor smiled and shook his head: "Princess, you are not as smart as the legend, if you are different from the legend, I will be disappointed." ”

Chu Xi couldn't guess what he wanted to do, so he had to take this chess game seriously.

"Do you want to know why I know it all, and why I still let them do it?" The Emperor asked suddenly.

Chu Xi carefully looked at the overall situation, cautiously dropped the black chess, and then said: "Our new emperor has just ascended the throne, what Lang Yueqiu did in the capital this time, I am afraid that it has angered the new emperor, and the southern Xinjiang mission has not yet arrived, and the prince and princess who led the mission have returned to the palace without authorization, which is tantamount to provoking the new emperor." In fact, the strength of the southern Xinjiang is not enough to confront me against you, so if you don't give a reasonable explanation, it seems that it is unreasonable, and they are ruthless, which can be regarded as the best explanation for the new emperor. ”

"Clever!" The emperor laughed, looked at the chessboard, his white son had been locked in a circle, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Then the princess said, why do you think that my army will not be able to win you?" ”

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor already try it some time ago?" The previous repeated provocations, isn't it just a temptation, and after knowing that it is insufficient, he immediately sent an embassy over, and it is really impossible to find such an emperor in the world who can be called slippery.

His smile became more and more, and the battle next to him became more and more intense, Chu Xi saw that Yuehua's arm was cut and blood was splashed on the chessboard, but the emperor still looked unfazed, just approached Chu Xi and said: "If I make you a princess, let you and the regent plan for my southern Xinjiang"

"Although the king is unkind, we have no reason to betray our family and country." They can leave, but she can't help Nanjiang to slaughter her former home and country, and she can't do it, and I believe that Qingyu can't do it.

"Very good, backbone." He laughed, the beard on his chin trembling slightly, "But you're going to have to suffer a little." The emperor looked at the chessboard he was bound to lose, and stood up with a smile, and those assassins were all taken down, and Yuehua knelt on the ground: "Princess, save me!" ”

Chu Xi glanced at her lightly: "At the beginning, Zhao Xunyan asked you to kill the emperor and blame me, didn't you?" ”

"Princess, it's clearly you"

Chu Xi didn't tell her much anymore, anyway, her dirty hat would be detached on her head if she was killed.

After a while, someone hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince intended to murder the little prince and the queen, and it has been taken down by our people."

"Well, go check it out." The emperor said, and looked back at Chu Xi: "If you just agree to help me, maybe what awaits you is glory and wealth." ”

Chu Xiwaner: "For me, glory and wealth are just a passing cloud. ”

"Very good, are all the women in the Central Plains as backbone as you? If so, this battle will be difficult to fight, and although I admire you very much, I promised the man that I must hand you over to her to dispose of, and that's all I have to do. The Emperor smiled and turned to leave.

The guards on the side surrounded Chu Xi and looked at Chu Xi vigilantly: "Please." ”

Chu Xi didn't say anything, looked at the blue sky without a trace of white clouds, remembered Xu Gui and Yan Yi who he had seen in the morning, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and followed along.

Lang Yuehan was caught by the guards before he knew what was happening, and Zhao Xunyan stood on one side with a slightly gloomy expression until the emperor came over.

"Is the King of Freedom satisfied with our hospitality in the southern frontier?"

"Where's Chu Xi?" Zhao Xunyan asked in a cold voice, he just entered this collection of books, thinking that he had calculated the seemingly mediocre emperor, but he didn't want to be calculated by him.

"She wanted to murder me, so naturally she was executed on the spot!"

When Zhao Xunyan heard this, he only felt that his heart was like a knife, and his fingers tightened: "Doesn't the king of Southern Xinjiang plan to attack the Central Plains, but intends to be a small vassal country forever?" ”

Hearing his words, the emperor laughed: "Sure enough, King Xiaoyao, King Xiaoyao, you should have become a generation of heroes, but because of a woman, you talked to me here about betraying the country."

Zhao Xunyan didn't want to listen to him humiliated here, but he still sneered: "Don't you want me to betray the country?" ”

"Although I despise people like you, it's very easy to use."

"That Chu Xi"

"When you explain all the secrets to me, I will return Chu Xi to you." After saying that, he raised his hand: "Take the people down and watch them." ”

Lang Yuehan looked at his father, who had always been gentle, and suddenly became speechless in surprise.

The emperor looked at him with a smile: "Han'er, I have cultivated you for so many years, why can't you learn to be obscure, didn't I tell you that you must be ruthless, look at you, I sent more than 20 assassins lurking around me, how can it be done?" The emperor's words sounded a little hateful.

When Lang Yuehan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father, it wasn't instructed by his son."

Listening to his quibble, the emperor became more and more disappointed: "Look at you, you are still making such useless excuses. The reason why I took you down is because you intended to harm the queen and your newborn little royal brother."

"Father, son-in-law doesn't."

The emperor shook his head with a smile, and a servant hurriedly ran out of the door: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother and the little prince have been settled, and the assassin who assassinated and the palace maid who underwent poison have been recruited, and they were instructed by the eldest prince." ”

"This" Lang Yuehan was stunned: "Father, this is really not the hand of his son!" "He originally wanted to blame Chu Xi and deduct her from the name of the Central Plains, but she had just entered the palace, and it was impossible for her to move her hands and feet to the queen, so he didn't do anything to the queen.

The emperor looked at him with a look of being wronged, sighed and shook his head: "Come on, put the eldest prince in the heavenly prison, and let him be tried again." ”

Lang Yuehan still hasn't figured out that this is actually a bureau made by the emperor, if Lang Yuehan just arranges a few eyeliners or something around him, he can ignore it, if he keeps being cautious and does not move evil thoughts, he can even survive until he ascends the throne, but the blame is that he saw that the Central Plains had established a new emperor, and the civil war continued, so he was eager to make meritorious contributions and leave a name in history, so he fell into the emperor's bureau.

After Lang Yuehan left, the emperor sighed deeply: "Did Chu Xi hand it over to her?" ”

"I've already brought it."

"Hmm." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a woman hurriedly ran over, pounced on him, hugged him and grinned: "Father! ”

"My little princess is back." The Emperor looked at the green sandalwood and smiled kindly.

Lu Tan didn't know what was going on, and said with a smile: "Father, the son just heard that Sister Xi'er has entered the palace, what about her?" ”

"You just came back, and you didn't ask your father, the queen mother and younger brother, you were in a hurry to ask an outsider, and your father and emperor would be fine, if your mother knew, she would be sad."

"Father" Lu Tan was coquettish, but she didn't see Chu Xi's shadow at all, she still wanted to tell Chu Xi that she had found Lang Yueqiu.

The emperor laughed: "I have properly placed her outside the palace, I will send her back in these two days, you go to see your mother first, you are not young, you have been sneaking out to play for more than half a year, it is time to propose marriage to you, if you sneak away again this time"

"Father, the relatives are not in a hurry" Lu Tan hurriedly wanted to cross the topic, but thought that since Chu Xi had been properly placed, he was not in a hurry.

Chu Xi followed the guards all the way to a small courtyard outside the palace that looked deserted for a long time, and there was a dungeon under the small courtyard, and she was locked in this dungeon.

Cockroaches and rats can be seen everywhere in the dungeon, the dilapidated grass is piled up in a corner, the dark and damp situation for a long time has made this place permeated with a strong rancid smell, a dim candle flame is flashing outside the prison, Chu Xi looked around, there was no one at all.

Chu Xi remembered what the emperor said about 'that person', she wanted to dispose of herself, so who was she? Except for Lang Yueqiu, she didn't offend the people of Southern Xinjiang anymore, let alone have access to the emperor.

"You're wondering who the hell it is, right?" An extremely unpleasant voice came, Chu Xi was slightly stunned, but when she raised her eyes, she only saw a petite figure hiding all the people under the black cloak.

"Who are you?"

Whether Chu Xi listened to the sound or watched the candlelight jumping, the half of her hideous face was faintly revealed, and she couldn't recognize who she was.

The woman smiled lightly: "You don't even recognize me, you are so ruthless." ”

Listening to these inexplicable words, Chu Xi felt even more strange: "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do?" She asked, and immediately laughed, but she didn't seem to dare to speak loudly, only laughed lowly, like a demon lurking in the night: "Of course I want to kill you!" ”

She suddenly became ruthless, Chu Xi watched her open a bamboo tube she was carrying, and countless black poisonous insects quickly crawled out of the bamboo tube, and the poisonous insects quickly approached her.

"I want you to be as ugly as me, as ugly as me, and then I will strip you naked and throw you on the street, so that everyone will laugh at you, and let you taste what it is like to be treated as a clown!" She cursed viciously, watching those poisonous insects approach Chu Xi. Only then did he turn his head away with red eyes.

Recalling that half a month ago, she herself let poisonous insects crawl all over her body and gnaw them, making them all mistakenly think that they would kill themselves, but she Chu Dai'er is not dead, how could she be bitten to death by the poisonous insects she raised!

But in order to hide from the world, she allowed poisonous insects to eat her skin, ruined her appearance, made her ugly, and even walked on the street, and was cursed like a monster.

Those ordinary people, throwing eggs and garbage at themselves, cursing loudly, oh, how good they think they are, one day, she will make all these people like herself!

Chu Xi watched her back leave, still didn't recognize who she was, looking at the approaching poisonous insects, she had been forced into a corner, but she was still glad that when she came out of the inn, she brought a fire fold.

Seeing that the figure disappeared completely, Chu Xi dared to take out the fire fold, took off his robe and lit it, but those poisonous insects didn't seem to panic and fear when they saw the fire, but rushed over layer after layer like waves.

Chu Xi threw all the dead grass in the cell over and lit it. Seeing these poisonous insects twist into a ball in the fire, and then release black smoke, I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose to prevent inhaling the poisonous smoke, but the only exhaust port in this dungeon is only a small window that can only stretch out one hand, and there is some light faintly shining out of the window, but I don't know where it is.

Everyone saw that strange black smoke was coming out of here, including Lin Qingyu, who had just entered the city.

Lin Fu had already been guarding the city, and he was also in contact with Yan Yi and Xu Gui, knowing that Chu Ji had not come out since he entered the palace today, he was really worried, so he went straight over and told Lin Qingyu, who had just entered the city, about it.

Lin Qingyu looked at the black smoke coming out not far away through the car window, remembering the strange black smoke emitted by the fire and the smell that filled the air when the fire burned thousands of Gu insects, and pointed there: "Go check that place." ”

"You are suspicious"

"I don't know, but I have a gut feeling." Lin Qingyu said, his expression was slightly cold: "The monarch of Southern Xinjiang is not as mediocre as he imagined, but Lu Tan really wants to help Xi'er, if you have a way, it is best to contact her first." ”

Lin Fu nodded, thinking of the green sandalwood, his palms were slightly tight.

"My subordinates have already set up a small courtyard, you and your wife should go over first." Lin Fu said.

Lin Qingyu bowed: "You also come over and tell me everything again, I have to think about it." "Say it. looked at Mrs. Hou, who was about to speak on the side, and said, "Mother, is it the son who is going to transfer the 100,000 troops or are you going to go with your father?" ”

"Qingyu, you have to think clearly, once this happens, there is no room for recovery, if we save my sister-in-law, our family can leave completely, and there is no need to get involved in these disputes again." Mrs. Hou was still worried.

"My son thinks very clearly." Lin Qingyu said: "He won't give up, the first emperor used to let these sons fight, but he didn't think about it and didn't sharpen Zhao Xuanyi, his life was over, Zhao Xuanyi blindly learned from the first emperor, and couldn't wait to eradicate dissidents, if we let it go, the Yang family, which Ji'er worked so hard to protect, would really have no way to live." ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she looked at Lin Zhuyin on the side, Lin Zhuyin didn't say anything, and nodded: "After you are settled, we will leave immediately." ”

"Good!"

Yan Yi and Xu Gui guarded in front of the palace gate until dark and couldn't see Chu Ji come out, and the two were about to go back to report when they saw a small figure wearing a black cloak passing by.

The two of them hadn't paid attention to it, but she had already noticed the two of them.

Xu Gui looked at her for a long time, and was suddenly shocked: "You're not dead yet!" ”

When Chu Dai'er saw that he recognized herself, her face was dark, she wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, and flashed into the alley on the side.

"Who is she?"

"She is Chu Dai'er, her eyes, I recognize, are Chu Dai'er!" Xu Gui said busily.

When Yan heard this, he didn't think about it: "You go back to report first, and I'll chase after you!" With that, Tibu followed.

Xu Gui didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly went back.

Lin Qingyu took the medicine, and then sat in the study and listened to Lin Fu tell him everything about the situation here, and Zhao Xunyan naturally knew about the collusion with the eldest prince.

When Lin Qingyu heard this, he guessed most of their plans, and before he could say anything, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then Xu Gui ran over panting: "Shizi, it's not good, something happened!" ”

He said what happened to Chu Dai'er just now: "I look at her as if she came out of the palace, and the princess is afraid that she will be more auspicious!" ”

Lin Qingyu stood up suddenly, but his face turned three points white because of too much mood swing: "Quick, go after her, she must be going to attack her when she comes over!" "Chu Dai'er is not afraid of death and her face is ruined, she has no ambition, so the only reason to support her survival must be revenge!

In the dark dungeon, Chu Xi finally recognized her.

"Killing you will take revenge on you and Lin Qingyu!" Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Xi, who was still breathing. Let people open the prison door and look at her condescendingly: "But I won't kill you easily, Chu Xi, shouldn't you be responsible for my injury?"

Chu Dai'er took off the cloak on her body, Chu Dai looked at her, the rotten scars all over her body, the wounds didn't seem to heal, and they were still bleeding, as soon as she got closer, the remaining poisonous insects began to crawl on her, but she didn't seem to care.

"Chu Xi, am I terrible?" Chu Dai'er leaned down slightly, revealing a hideous face, and opened her mouth to smile, where is there still the color of the country before, which is obviously uglier than the evil ghosts of hell.

The attendants on the side lowered their eyes and didn't dare to look at them more, and Chu Xi only looked at her coldly: "Aren't these self-inflicted?" ”

"You're still talking cool here!" The whip in Chu Dai'er's hand was pulled down fiercely, and as soon as the whip went down, Chu Dai'er's arm tore open a big gap, and the old wound from before also recurred.

Chu Xi clenched her teeth in pain, for Chu Dai'er, she knew that no matter how much she begged, she would not let her go.

"Do you hate me just because Qingyu married me?" Chu Xi asked weakly.

Chu Dai'er's eyes moved slightly, but when she heard Lin Qingyu's name, she felt heartache: "The previous Chu Dai'er has long since died, and I just hate you purely now." There's no reason to abuse you, kill you, see you as embarrassed as a dog, and then wag your tail at me and beg for mercy! After that, another whip was whipped, but looking at her gritted teeth, the ruthless words that Lin Qingyu said to her in the fire before were like a sharp knife, constantly cutting her heart.

She whipped and whipped, as if she was crazy, until Chu Xi was beaten all over with injuries and couldn't move.

"If you fight again, you'll die," there was a busy humane next to him.

Chu Dai'er broke free from the illusion at this time, looked at Chu Xi who was curled up on the ground covered in blood, and laughed: "Look at you, how much better than me now?" ”

Chu Xi only felt that her whole body was burning with pain now, and when she moved slightly, she almost fainted, and her dry lips opened slightly: "You killed me, and then what?" Suicide? ”

Listening to Chu Xi's weak words, Chu Dai'er seemed to be stunned, she really didn't think about what she would do if Chu Xi died.

Then he stared at her gloomily: "Don't worry about it, I just want you to die!" And I'm going to wait for you, and you're better off than dead. Kill you again! After that, he glanced at the person next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?" ”

The man looked at Chu Xi and frowned slightly, this woman covered in wounds, he really couldn't do it.

Without waiting for him to make a move, Chu Dai'er scolded the other people: "Don't be stunned, tonight I want to see you serve our world's number one princess!" If anyone is not attentive, then you all go and feed my poisonous worms! ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to delay any longer, grabbed Chu Xi's ankle, and pulled her forward violently, pulling her to the center.

Chu Ji knew what they were going to do, her eyes were red, and for the first time, she wanted to ask for mercy.

"Don't"

Chu Dai'er looked into her eyes and sneered: "Are you begging for mercy?" ”

Chu Xi could hear the sound of the cloth tearing, and she began to despair, just like in her previous life: "Please" can torture and kill her as much as she wants, but she doesn't want to betray Qing Yu, even if she is not willing.

Chu Dai'er's face was slightly ruthless, looking at her skin that was torn apart, the corners of her mouth raised coldly: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell Qing Yu the news that you have been defiled by so many people." Let him know what a dirty woman you are, and that you don't deserve him, because you, like me, came from hell and deserved to live in the fire until you die! ”

"Don't"

The exposed skin can feel the coldness in the air, this coldness is like cutting her with a thousand knives, so that she is also tortured in her heart, for the first time, she can't wait to bite Chu Dai'er's neck alive and drink her blood raw!

Just as the man also took off his clothes and was about to approach, someone kicked away violently outside, Chu Dai'er frowned, looked at the person who stopped, sneered, and then turned around and said, "Even if I die, you are not allowed to stop!" ”

"Yes, yes" Several people nodded hurriedly, Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Xi coldly, stepped out, and did not forget to lock the prison door.

Chu Xi watched her back leave in despair, and she had already held the hosta she was carrying when she went out in her hand, just waiting for the last fight, but even if she died because of this, she was willing, because she didn't want Qingyu to know that she was so unbearable.

Several men slowly approached. The person who had moved his heart of compassion before stopped his steps, frowned slightly, looked at Chu Xi, took a deep breath, turned his head and pulled his robe to cover her, looked at the stunned few people behind, and said coldly: "We are dignified men, even if we die, we can't do such a thing!" ”

"We won't stop you if you want to die, but you can't stand in the way of your brothers' lives. It's just an unbearable woman, it's all over with your eyes closed, don't make a mess at this time! ”

The man drew his knife, and in an instant, chaos fell into the cell.

Yan Yi came in, followed by Lin Fu and Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu saw the fight in the cell at a glance, and Chu Ji who was lying on the ground in despair.

"Hello!" Lin Qingyu was extremely distressed.

When Chu Xi heard Lin Qingyu's voice, a little light finally flashed in Mu Ran's eyes.

When Chu Dai'er saw Lin Qingyu, her heart was filled with murderous intent, and she turned her head to look at the guards who had stopped: "Didn't you hear my words!" ”

When those people heard this, they were ruthless and killed the man who was blocking in front of them, and then looked at the door hesitantly, and then raised their hands to pull Chu Xi's clothes.

Lin Fu didn't have time to hold Lin Qingyu, so he risked the loss of his muscles and veins, rushed forward directly, and broke the cell door in an instant, and before the men could fight back, they broke their breath and fell straight to the ground with their eyes glared.

Lin Qingyu didn't hold back a mouthful of black blood and spit it out, and almost couldn't stand on his feet a few times, but he still endured the pain that his internal organs seemed to be burning, and he knelt beside Chu Xi with apologetic eyes, took off his robe and wrapped her well, looking at the wounds all over her body, the pain made him want to kill himself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Chu Xi was held in his arms, smelling the familiar aroma on his body, and finally regained consciousness, trembling and sobbing quietly in his arms: "Please, never leave again." ”

Listening to Chu Ji's forbearant crying and pleading, the tears in Lin Qingyu's eyes fell, and he held her tightly in his arms: "I swear, I will never leave your side for half a step, I swear"

Lin Fu's eyes were slightly wet, he looked at Chu Dai'er with murderous intent, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't kill her for me!" ”

Lin Qingyu cautiously comforted Chu Xi, but when he saw the blood on the ground and the long whip that was thrown aside and stained with blood, his eyes lit up.

He carefully picked Chu Dai up in his arms, walked out of the prison, and looked at Chu Dai'er, who was about to be caught. cold voice; "I gave you the chance to die well, since you don't want it, then give you back what you did to your nephew a hundred times."

Lin Fu instantly understood what Lin Qingyu meant: "Come on, catch her for me, and live her mouth!" ”

Chu Dai'er trembled: "Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu!" ”

Lin Qingyu's footsteps did not stop at all, he only looked at Chu Xi who was curled up on his chest like a kitten with pity, and left this place without looking back.

Chu Dai'er laughed, she had long known that she would be caught by them, the capital of southern Xinjiang was too small.

"Do you think you can avenge Chu Xi?"

Before she could finish her words, Yan Yi pounced on her from behind, directly removed her chin, tied her up, and ignored the fact that Gu worms kept popping up in the room.

"All the Gu worms are set on fire, pull her to the most populous building in the capital, whip a hundred lashes first, and then throw them to the lowest Qinglou, watch her, let her die until she dies, and then drag me out for the wild dogs to eat!" Lin Fu looked at the broken clothes and blood that were full of prison, and couldn't imagine that Chu Xi was abused and humiliated by her like this, and he couldn't wait to peel her skin for Chu Xi now.

Chu Dai'er kept laughing, and her hideous face made people feel pitiful and hateful!

"I'll see it myself!" Yan Yi said coldly, this time, he will not let Chu Dai'er have another chance to live!

Lin Fu bowed. Watching him take people away, he turned around and left.

In the palace, when Lang Yueqiu heard the news, he had already asked people to pack up their things and prepare to leave the palace, but when they arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped.

"Where are you going?"

"It's not your turn yet." Lang Yueqiu looked at him: "It's just a dog by the emperor's side, what's the matter, are you tired of living?" ”

"Slaves are not tired of living, it is not for slaves to be in charge, but if Her Royal Highness the princess goes out of this palace, life and death will be up to you." The father-in-law laughed.

Lang Yueqiu snorted coldly: "Does he dare to kill me?" He dared to kill me again now, and God will not let him go! "Let's go.

The father-in-law didn't stop her, watched her leave, and then walked to a palace not far away, stood outside the palace gate and replied: "Go out." ”

"If that is the case, then there is no way to complain. I fulfilled the love of this brother and sister and did not pursue the incident back then, but not only did she not know about the retribution, but she also dug out the heart of her grandparents and took away the Lianxin Gu, which is a big crime. Decree that Lang Yueqiu is wanted by the whole country, regardless of life or death, he must be arrested! ”

"Yes!"

The father-in-law outside had just left, and Zhao Xunyan on the side had a white face: "There is still a Heart Gu in my body, if I die, you will never want to know how to attack the Central Plains and defeat Zhao Xuanyi!" ”

The emperor smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Don't worry, the Lianxin Gu will be taken out while she is alive, and then put it into other people's bodies, and you will not die either." ”

Zhao Xunyan frowned: "When you find Lang Yueqiu, I will tell you what I know, and I want to see Chu Xi." ”

When the emperor saw him like this, he was not reluctant, but only stood up and smiled; "When you tell what you know, and I think it's useful, I'll naturally give her back to you, I'm not as good as you in southern Xinjiang, what will I do to a little girl." After that, he turned around and went out directly, and after he went out, he heard the news of Chu Dai'er.

"You mean, Lin Qingyu is in this city?" The emperor stood with his hands in his hands, watched a bird land on the tree, and then was swallowed by the poisonous snake lurking in the tree, and laughed: "If that's the case, after catching Lang Yueqiu, dig out the Lianxin Gu and send it to him directly." ”

"Your Majesty, if they think there is fraud and turn against us, wouldn't it?"

"Didn't he say that he rescued Chu Xi, Chu Xi should have known that Lang Yueqiu had a heart Gu in his body, otherwise he wouldn't have let Tan'er go around tracking down Lang Yueqiu's whereabouts, and they wouldn't act rashly."

"Yes."

The emperor looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are not allowed to tell the princess a word about this matter, understand?" ”

"Yes."

Others didn't dare to say much, the emperor looked at the moonlight and laughed: "Let's go, go to the queen's palace, I don't know if the little prince is messing with his queen mother at this time." The emperor smiled as he walked, like a kind father rather than an indifferent emperor.

Lu Tan, who was standing in the corner quietly holding his breath, covered his mouth, sobbing silently, and waited until his back was far away, then he turned his head and ran away.

Lin Qingyu here, when he went back and saw Chu Xi's injuries all over his body, because of the great emotional fluctuations, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of black blood, Chu Xi saw his extremely tired appearance, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but before his arm was raised, the pain in her heart made her face turn white suddenly, and she didn't dare to move again in an instant.

"Go find Zhao Xunyan, find Lang Yueqiu," Chu said weakly.

After Mrs. Hou and Lin Zhuyin settled Lin Qingyu, they hurriedly went to the border pass, and the one waiting on the side was Mei Niang, who was injured but had almost recovered.

Mei Niang walked over and glanced at Lin Qingyu: "Master, you should also go down and drink the medicine first, and then go on like this."

Lin Qingyu raised his eyes, saw the fear in Chu Xi's eyes, smiled and shook his head: "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." ”

He raised his hand and grabbed Chu Xi's hand, and sat down on the bed, Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and tears rolled down.

Mei Niang couldn't, so she looked at Chu Xi: "Zhao Xunyan and Lang Yueqiu that Madam just said, what are you looking for them?" ”

"They have a Heart-Connecting Gu in their bodies!"

After Chu Xi finished speaking, everyone was stunned: "Isn't the Lianxin Gu already extinct!" ”

"Trust me, they have it in them." Chu Xi said with difficulty.

Mei Niang heard this, look at Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu had long lost hope and could live, but since Ji'er said it, he had to give it a try, and he promised not to leave her alone, and now naturally he can't give up the extremely slim hope of living.

Mei Niang bowed her head and immediately ordered someone to go down to search, and then brought the ground powder and ointment.

"Master, do you want to avoid it, I'll give medicine to Madame."

"I'm going to be here"

"Can you just wait outside that curtain? Madame is a girl's family, even if you are a husband, you can't watch it from the side. Mei Niang said helplessly.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chu Xi, who was also a little ashamed, and then nodded: "Then I'll wait behind the curtain." ”

Mei Niang was helpless. When he went out, he took scissors and carefully cut the clothes on Chu Xi's body little by little, but when she looked at the wound that was about to tear on her body every time she tore off a little rag, Rao was well-informed, and she couldn't help crying in distress.

"There's still a good spot on this body." Mei Niang said indignantly, and her hands that were stained with water to clean her wounds began to tremble slightly.

The cold touch fell on the hot wound, Chu Xi only felt a lot more comfortable, but cleaning the wounds all over her body, it still hurt her to faint several times, and she woke up alive, she knew that Mei Niang had tried her best.

It took a full hour for the wound to be cleaned, and Mei Niang applied powder and plaster to her, which was slightly better.

"Madam, the doctor said that I have to keep watch at night, for fear that you will have a fever." Mei Niang's eyes were a little swollen, but Chu Xi almost didn't cry during the whole process, and the skin was broken and bleeding from the bitten lip.

Chu Xi nodded at her, but she was already tired and couldn't say a word, looked at Lin Qingyu who was walking towards her, calmed down, and fell asleep.

In the capital of southern Xinjiang, there is naturally no shortage of places such as Qinglou taverns, but the gorgeously dressed, young and beautiful girls are ushered in, and they are all high-end Qinglou, but the price of the girls here is often dozens or hundreds of taels. Most people can't afford to go, so they have derived a medium-sized green building for some people with ordinary family backgrounds, and there is another category, which is the lowest green building that no one looks down on.

It is said that it is a green building, but it is a bed in a low house, most of the people who do things in it are old and decrepit women, and the reception is all peddlers and pawns, ten big dollars a night, which is cheaper than weighing a pound of meat.

Chu Dai'er could smell the stench of animal feces around her, looked at the fat-headed and big-eared butcher who was swaying on her, and then looked at the lowly beggar with a mean face waiting for her, she seemed to be unconscious.

She could feel her life passing little by little, different from the last time, this time, she knew that she couldn't live anymore, but such a lowly and undignified way of dying made her angry, made her miserable, and made her crazy, she once recalled that when she was still in Chu Mansion before, although she was not as noble as Chu Xi, she was still Miss Yan, and she still enjoyed the glory and wealth and the envy of others.

How the hell did she become the way she is?

She couldn't remember. It was as if the first half of her life was flashing in front of her eyes like a painting, until she stopped breathing.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

There are obscene-looking beggars urging behind them, and there is still a queue here.

Yan Yi looked indifferently at Chu Dai'er who was sleeping in the pigsty, looked at her face that was still full of hatred when she died, jumped down from the beam, probed her breathing, and then cut her throat with a knife, and in the frantic shouts of everyone, he directly carried her and threw her to the mass grave.

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight pierced the haze in the sky, the Southern Xinjiang Palace received news that Zhao Xuanyi's soldiers and horses stationed on the southern Xinjiang border had begun to move, and seemed to be preparing for an attack.
