Chapter 13: Dare to Defy Me
"Your Majesty, how can you beat someone?" Cold Frost exclaimed.
The emperor stared at Leng Frost viciously, and then said, "You dare to contradict me, I will let you try it today, what are the consequences of disobeying me!" ”
Cold frost was thrown to the ground and couldn't get up for half a day.
The emperor stood in front of her, looked down on her, and said coldly: "How is it? Doesn't it taste good? Rest assured, you'll be ready to try it soon! ”
Cold Frost lay on the ground, her fists clenched, her eyes glaring at the emperor with hatred.
"What? Do you still want revenge? The emperor squatted down, grabbed Cold Frost's hair, and pinched Cold Frost's neck fiercely.
She struggled desperately, but the emperor's strength was too great, Leng Shuang couldn't break free at all, Leng Shuang's lung capacity was insufficient, and she was already blushing at this time, she opened her mouth and spit out a few words with difficulty: "No...... No...... Kill...... Kill me! ”
"Hehe, now that I know that I am begging for mercy, why did I go earlier?" The Emperor smiled grimly and dragged the frost to the side, finally pressing it against the corner of the table.
Cold Frost felt a piercing pain in her wrist, and she frowned at her wrist, only to find that blood was bleeding from there at some point, sliding down her arm and onto her clothes.
The blood dripped on the floor, forming a bewitching and eerie flower.
Leng Shuang's eyes widened, pushed the emperor away with all her strength, and then staggered towards the door.
"Bang-" As soon as he opened the door, a stone flew in front of him, and Cold Frost's footsteps paused for a moment, and then continued to rush forward.
She was just about to leave when she heard a 'click' and 'click' sound behind her.
The sound was like the sound of bones shattering.
Cold Frost paused for a second, turned around suddenly, and saw that the man who was originally sitting on the stool drinking tea had fallen from the chair to the ground at this time, holding his right leg with a painful expression.
"You...... What did you do? Doubts rose in Leng Shuang's heart and asked puzzledly.
She remembered that she hadn't hurt anyone.
"How dare you...... How dare you hurt me? The man looked at the frost in pain, his eyes as if he wanted to eat it.
He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the cold frost, unable to say a word.
Leng Shuang looked at the man, a trace of guilt welled up in his heart, but he felt very strange.
This man should have broken his leg, why does he look like he is okay now?
Cold Frost shook her head, no longer thinking about it so much, and she quickly escaped from the palace.
When Leng Shuang returned to the mansion, he went straight to Gu Tingyu's courtyard.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Cold Frost quickened her pace, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw a man sitting in a wheelchair, and the back was a little familiar.
"Tingyu." Cold Frost snorted softly.
The man in the wheelchair turned his head and smiled a handsome and evil smile.
"You're back?" Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, and then said to the person next to him: "Hurry up and bring the food." ”
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Tingyu and asked, "Your legs?" ”
"I'm fine." Gu Tingyu shrugged his shoulders, and then said to Leng Shuang, "Come here." ”
"Oh." Leng Shuang nodded, and then sat down beside Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu took a spoon, filled a bowl of soup, handed it to Leng Shuang, and said gently, "Drink it." ”
Leng Shuang looked at the bowl of white porridge in front of him, did not refuse, directly took the bowl, and took a big sip.
The white porridge went down her stomach, and the warm feeling spread from her stomach to her whole body, and the cold cream felt very comfortable, so she took another sip, but this time it choked in her throat and coughed.
Gu Tingyu hurriedly put down the chopsticks and gently patted Leng Shuang's back to help her slowly calm down.
After a while, Leng Shuang stopped coughing, and then leaned into Gu Tingyu's arms.
"Thunder ......"
"Hmm."
"You're so nice." Cold Frost muttered, then closed her eyes.
Cold Frost slept peacefully this time, she had been worried about her mother's condition for many years, so she was rarely able to sleep peacefully, but tonight, she finally slept peacefully.
The next day, when Leng Frost woke up, he found himself still lying in his bed.
"Miss, Miss, are you finally awake?" Qiu He shouted excitedly.
Leng Shuang rubbed her eyes and looked at Qiu He, her voice was hoarse: "Qiu He, how long have I been asleep?" ”
Qiu He hurriedly pushed the window open, letting the sunlight from outside shine on Leng Shuang's body, "Miss, you've been sleeping for three days." ”
"Three days?" Cold Frost's pupils contracted violently, and then he propped himself up and prepared to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Qiu He immediately held on to the cold frost, and then said, "Miss, you have a sprained ankle." ”
Leng Shuang ignored Qiuhe, but resolutely got out of bed and walked with shoes on.
As soon as he took the first step, a heart-rending pain came from the cold frost's ankle.
She gritted her teeth and held back, then walked out of the house.
Cold Frost walked around the courtyard for a while, and the whole person gradually returned to normal, but there were still some doubts in her heart.
When she woke up just now, although it was early in the morning, she saw the emperor's vicious and bloodthirsty eyes.
Leng Shuang couldn't figure it out, where did she provoke the emperor?
This matter must be inseparable from Gu Tingyu, but why did he frame her?
Even if she really hurt the emperor, according to the rules, she should be sent to the Criminal Justice Division for interrogation, and this is the palace in the palace, which is heavily guarded, even the emperor's guards may not be able to break in.
Leng Shuang couldn't figure it out, and she didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, she wasn't a concubine in this palace, so she couldn't care about so many idle things.
Since she promised to save the emperor, then she will do her best, after all, she once owed the emperor a life.
This time, Leng Shuang really made up his mind to cure the emperor.
…………
"Don't worry, the emperor has his own natural appearance, he will be fine, the slave believes in your medical skills, you will definitely cure the emperor."
"But ......"
"Okay, don't do it, let's eat something first, and you can boil the medicine later." Mama said, opened the food box, and brought out a plate of shredded pork with green peppers and a cup of chicken soup.
"This is what the emperor ordered the old slave to do." Mama said with a smile.
Leng Shuang glanced down at the chicken soup in front of him, and then at Mama.
"Mama, you don't have to be like this, I ......"
"You are the person I brought into the palace, so I naturally don't want anything to happen to you." Mama smiled and said.
Cold Frost was slightly stunned, she raised her head, looked at Mama's kind face, and suddenly felt that Mama might not be so annoying.
"Then I'll take my leave first, and if there's any news later, I'll send someone to deliver a message to you immediately." After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Hey......" Mama still wanted to keep it, but the cold frost had gone away.
Leng Shuang stood at the door, looking at the royal pen danqing dancing on the door plaque, with mixed feelings in his heart.
She didn't expect that in this deep palace, there were still people willing to help her.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she walked into the room, and just as she sat down, the door was pushed open.
Gu Tingyu slowly walked in from outside, then handed the medicinal herbs he was carrying in his hand to the maid, and said, "Put the medicinal herbs away." ”
The maid nodded, then put the herbs on the table and withdrew.
"How?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and asked in a calm tone.
Leng Shuang raised his head, met Gu Tingyu's gaze, and then asked, "Gu Tingyu, what happened last night?" I heard your maid say, 'Thou hast pierced thy father with a silver needle?' ”
"Well, I did." Gu Tingyu nodded and acknowledged.
Cold Frost frowned, "Why?" ”
Gu Tingyu had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Leng Shuang with a smile, and then said slowly: "Because he deserves to die." ”
Leng Shuang was startled, then glared at Gu Tingyu and asked, "Do you know what you said yourself?" ”
"What do you say?" Gu Tingyu asked Leng Shuang rhetorically, "Can I still say wrong?" ”
But he ...... What the hell did he do to you, making you hate him to the core, and even want to kill him. Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu in disbelief.
A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Gu Tingyu's mouth, and then he said coldly: "He should be damned." ”
Cold Frost opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but in the end she swallowed, she was silent for a long time, and then said, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask." ”
"That...... I want to ask who instructed you to assassinate the emperor. ”
Gu Tingyu's eyes instantly became fierce, staring at Leng Shuang, and said word by word: "Leng Shuang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Leng Shuang shook his head helplessly and said, "Gu Tingyu, in fact, you have already guessed it over the years, haven't you?" ”
Gu Tingyu pursed his thin lips, his expression a little cold.
"You obviously know that the relationship between me and the emperor is a brother and sister, I can't do that kind of thing to plot against the king, I am wronged, I can't kill the emperor at all."
A bitter smile appeared on Leng Shuang's face, "Over the years, I have served by your side, and your attitude towards me has become worse and worse, and the emperor, although he is very fond of me on the surface, he always remembers my grudges in his heart, so you want to get rid of the emperor at all costs." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Gu Tingyu's voice was a little hoarse, he grabbed Leng Shuang's collar fiercely, and said with red eyes: "Leng Shuang, I won't allow anyone to slander me, I, Gu Tingyu, sit upright, and definitely haven't killed anyone." ”
Leng Shuang smiled and said, "Do you think I'm framing you?" ”
"Isn't it?" Gu Tingyu said angrily, "You know what? The emperor is now unconscious, my mother has been given death by the emperor, and now the only person who can save me is the emperor, but I can't save him, so I don't have any bargaining chips to compete with the prince. ”
Leng Shuang sighed and said, "You want to save the emperor, then have you thought about me?" I'm also a woman, and I need my husband's love. ”
Gu Tingyu's figure stiffened for a moment, then he let go of the cold frost and turned his back, his voice a little sad: "Do you want to marry me?" ”
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Impossible, I already have a child." ”
Gu Tingyu closed his eyes, he clenched his fists gently, trying to restrain the irritability in his heart.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Gu Tingyu, I advise you not to mess around, in this case, you will also be implicated." ”
Gu Tingyu opened his eyes and looked at the cold frost, "I won't marry you." ”
"Then why did you let me take the risk of detoxifying you?" Leng Shuang said with some annoyance: "Gu Tingyu, I am your maid, I am a cow and a horse for you, I don't want you to give me any good reward, I just want to live, is this not okay?" ”
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly, then looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Leng Shuang, you have to understand, now that the emperor's life is in your hands, you had better cooperate with me obediently." ”
Leng Shuang took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, I can promise you, as long as I can get the antidote, I will help you save the emperor." ”
Gu Tingyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." ”
After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he walked outside, he had just walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Leng Shuang, and said, "These days, you are not allowed to go out of the yard." ”
"What?" Leng Shuang raised his head violently and looked at Gu Tingyu, his eyes widened, "Why can't I get out of the yard?" I'm going to have to find an antidote. ”
