Chapter Forty-Seven: The Two Form an Alliance
Shen Muzhou gasped intermittently, as if he was being bitten by various beasts in the middle of an iceberg and snow, and his limbs were suffering from the biting cold and pain.
As soon as the picture turned, he saw Zhao Zhao in the heavy snow.
The woman, as always, had her back to him, wearing a hat.
"Akira ......"
This time he called out her name.
The woman looked back at him, and the curtains of the hat were lifted by her little by little.
Under the curtain was a small white face that he was familiar with, her round eyes were bright and bright, and her smile was pleasant, even the corners of her eyebrows were smiling.
The girl smiled and smiled, her eyes were like two crescents, it seemed that she was smiling, and he could feel the peach blossoms and the sun shining even in the ice and snow.
It's Lin Yanxi.
That face is Lin Yanxi.
Lin Yanxi tilted his head and quipped playfully, "Shen Muzhou, don't get up and look for me soon."
He laughed, it was her, and dared to call his name unscrupulously.
With that, she turned around and ran into the depths of the snow......
"Zhaozhao...... Don't go."
In the cell, Shen Muzhou grabbed Lin Yanxi's hand, like grasping a life-saving straw, and the warm current slowly entered his body, dispelling the cold that penetrated into his bones.
Lin Yanxi looked at his gradually soothing face, Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, does your Zhao Zhao know that you are in prison now?
Can your Zhaozhao break into Zongzheng Temple alone to save you?
Then your Zhaozhao can ...... She gave him an angry look, can you hold your hand to ward off the cold?
"Yan Xi."
Shen Muzhou shouted in a daze, and suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the little face he saw in his dream.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or illusion.
He just smiled at her, and then coughed violently, each cough touched the wound on his body, and the pain made him gradually conscious.
"How did you get here?" Shen Muzhou asked weakly.
Lin Yanxi could clearly see the pain in his eyes, she frowned and said, "I'm here to save you."
Shen Muzhou shook his head, he obviously didn't want her to get involved in this incident.
"I can't go, if I escape, I will confess to stealing the jade talisman and bear the stake of treason."
When Nan Min fought with Xizhou a few years ago, he took the brothers of the Dark Night Division to fight hundreds of battles large and small, and the Dark Night Division almost lost most of the people on the battlefield, and now these people want to insult him for treason with a piece of jade talisman.
It's ridiculous.
Lin Yanxi shook her head, she just wanted to say something, and then thought of the strange white-bearded old man, she looked back in the direction of the old man, and the white-bearded old man was really looking at them.
When the white-bearded old man saw Lin Yanxi looking at him, he shook his hand, squatted in the corner of the cage wall, and muttered, "If you don't let my old man listen, then don't listen, who is rare, hey."
Lin Yanxi approached Shen Muzhou, his white clothes were all beaten with cracked blood, only the white and slender neck was intact when it was exposed, her eyes rolled, and she was a little red.
"The person who stole the jade talisman left a severed knife in the East Palace, and there was a curse on the blade, I suspect that the person in the black cloak killed my mother, but I don't know much about the relationship between the black cloak and the prince."
"On the day of entering the palace, the hairpin in the prince's hand also had a curse attached to it, and if you want to find the person who killed my mother, you may be able to start investigating from the matter of stealing the jade talisman."
In fact, when her mother died, she also thought of another way to kill the prince directly with a spell.
can kill the prince, the person behind him still exists, and the Taifu Mansion will also fall into prison.
"No matter what the relationship between the prince and the black cloak is, if I want to find out all this, I need you to help me."
Shen Muzhou lifted his eyes weakly, he really wanted to help her, but how could he help her now?
She wasn't sure if Shen Muzhou would do it in such a way
Promised, after all, he already had someone in his heart.
After a pause, she still spoke, "I have a plan, I want to fake marriage with you, I need the identity of the ninth princess to investigate this case."
"If I am the ninth princess, I can tell Your Majesty that you went out of the East Palace that day to sneak into the Taifu Mansion and have a private meeting with me, and chestnuts and sugar fried can testify."
"You and I will find the jade talisman together and find out who stole the jade talisman behind it, so that your crime will be cleared."
"And I, maybe I can use this incident to bring down the prince and find the person who killed my mother."
She cleared her throat and said, "You are now in prison, it is also because of the crown prince, he has hidden murderous intentions from you, if he can succeed to the throne one day, who do you think he will kill first?"
Of course, Shen Muzhou knew that it had not been a day or two since the prince wanted to get rid of him.
Seeing that he hesitated, Lin Yanxi continued to persuade: "It's just a pretending marriage, I'm just your nominal princess, fighting against the crown prince with you, after the prince steps down, you and I can reconcile, and I will never entangle you."
"In the same way, you and I are allied, and those who have harmed you and me cannot let go of any of them."
When she said this, her eyes were extraordinarily bright, revealing perseverance and a cold and murderous aura.
Shen Muzhou's eyes were calm, thinking that when he first went to the battlefield a few years ago, his whole body was slashed with scars, and Luo Jingxin cried loudly when he knew that he was injured.
She gently stroked the wound on his arm, thinking about how the person in the sketchbook would react to the situation in order to grasp the man's heart.
So he asked with a distressed and gentle face, "Does it hurt?"
At that time, he had not yet been crowned king, and when he saw Luo Jingxin's appearance, he was thinking in his heart that his princess must not be so weak in the future.
These wounds cut through the flesh and blood, and it was nonsense to ask if it hurt, but these wounds were his glory and the motivation for him to kill back.
Until he saw Lin Yanxi's temperament clearly, he was decisive in killing, and when someone stabbed me, I had to make him come back even harder, such a person deserved to walk hand in hand with him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yanxi guessed that he refused to agree because he had the woman named Zhaozhao in his heart.
"You're ...... because of it"
Shen Muzhou's voice was hoarse, and his lips were pale, "I'm not sure if I can protect you all the time."
"My father left me in the capital, just to make me a sharp blade in his hands, the court is inconvenient to put on the surface, all by the Night Division, I have many enemies, every month will encounter several assassinations, you also saw the black gold that time, if it were not for your gold sore medicine, I might have died under someone else's sword by now."
"Do you know how much disaster it will bring to being my princess."
Lin Yanxi shook his head and said, "In the future, you and I will walk side by side, and all the difficulties will be divided into two halves, and one person will bear half of it, and the danger will definitely be averted."
"Besides, as long as I can avenge my mother and protect the Taifu Mansion, I am willing to take a walk no matter how difficult the road ahead is."
The moonlight tilted on her, and her whole body was wrapped in the bleak and cold white moonlight, which made her complexion beautiful, charming, and her clear and resolute eyes were frankly covered with ambition and desire.
During the years of suffering from the cold, he always felt that his time was short, and it made no difference whether he died at the hands of the prince or at the hands of those with whom he had enemies.
Since the death of his mother, there is no one in this world who cares about him and the people he cares about.
But recently, his emotions have always been affected by Lin Yanxi, and he will be sad and happy because of her joys and sorrows, and he can't even figure out whether the person in his dream is Lin Yanxi or he hopes it is Lin Yanxi.
This time, he wanted to live well, and he wanted to complete those unfinished ambitions of governing the country with her.
"Okay, I promise you."
Lin Yanxi's eyebrows and eyes immediately relaxed, and his originally nervous and serious little face slowed down a little.
She asked, "Then what did you go to the East Palace for that day?"
The corners of Shen Muzhou's mouth, which were originally slightly upturned, stiffened, and said, "You'll know later."
He took out a piece of broken jade from the innermost part of his shirt and handed it over
To Lin Yanxi, he looked at the other little rabbit hairpins on her bun, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"If you see my father, give him this piece of jade, if he ...... I feel a little guilty about the past, and I won't blame you for this success or not."
Lin Yanxi wanted to ask something, but he suddenly coughed violently, a fishy sweetness surged up in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spit out to the ground.
She accepted the broken jade, her face was sad, and the childish and agile facial features on her little face looked pitiful again, her lips trembled, and tears fell down her cheeks first.
"It's only been a day since I was tortured like this."
He tugged at the corners of his mouth weakly and said, "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while."
By this time, it was gradually quiet outside, and I thought that the fire had been extinguished.
Shen Muzhou said softly, "Hurry up."
"I'll hold out until the day you come and get me out of prison."
Lin Yanxi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to Your Majesty to plead, and there will be news soon."
When Lin Yanxi passed by the white-bearded old man, he grabbed the cage and shouted, "Little talisman, if you want to truly master the talisman, get me out and worship my old man as a teacher!"
She glanced back at him, and there was a slight pause under her feet, but the footsteps outside gradually approached this way, and she didn't have time to ask his identity, so she could only run out first.
---
On the second day, Lin Yanxi went to Fengnan Temple early in the morning.
A few days ago, when she entered the palace for a banquet, she told Concubine Yu that the incense of Fengnan Temple could be found to be a male or female fetus in the womb.
At that time, she had already prepared the opportunity for Shen Muzhou to intercede with Emperor Nan Min for him.
Concubine Yu was wearing a smoky purple dress, supported by several maids, and when she saw Yan Xi coming, she waved to her enthusiastically and motioned for her to come over.
"I've seen Concubine Yu."
Concubine Yu is in a very good mood today, and Emperor Nan Min is willing to accompany her to ask for a child in his busy schedule, which can be seen that he attaches great importance to the child in his belly.
"Excuse me, just call my aunt, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and today I came out for a walk, and I feel that everything in this capital is very fresh."
Emperor Nanmin came out of another room behind Nanfeng Temple, he did not wear a golden silk dragon robe, but changed into ordinary people's clothes, but this cloth is not something that the people can afford.
He doted, "If you like, after you give birth to a little prince for the royal family, you will be allowed to come out more and relax."
Concubine Yu smiled, and the little bird leaned on Emperor Nanmin's arms, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is really partial, what if the concubine is not a man in her belly?"
Emperor Nan Min pinched her chin and said, "Lone Du accompanied you to Nanfeng Temple, Lone is the Son of Heaven, and these immortals from all walks of life will sell their own face."
Concubine Yu said respectfully, "Naturally, Your Majesty's Son of Heaven will be able to bless me with what I want."
Emperor Nanmin's eyes glanced at Lin Yanxi and said, "The holy monk in the front yard has prepared the supplies for worshipping the Buddha, let the maidservant help you over to have a look first, and the lonely will arrive later."
Concubine Yu glanced at Lin Yanxi with some concern, didn't speak again, and retreated.
Emperor Nanmin's laughter was instantly accepted, and when he faced Lin Yanxi, he was completely majestic and cold.
He said in a gloomy voice, "This is how you lured Gu to see you?"
