Chapter 10: Camellia Handkerchief
In the prison where prisoners are held in the royal palace.
Tang Xinyu knelt on the cold hard stone slab, her head lowered, and the hidden arrows she hid on her wrist scattered on the ground in front of her.
And directly in front of her, Chu Jinye on the high seat, propped his head and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Kid, you... Just say it..."Zhao Yan said with some distress.
Tang Xinyu was brought back, although she was not missing arms or legs, but the prince directly threw her into the prison where the prisoners were interrogated on weekdays, and asked her about her responsibility today, she still had a hidden weapon on her body, and it was still unknown whether she was suspected of harboring evil intentions, and she just didn't say a word, kneeling on the ground for two or three hours without saying a word.
Tang Xinyu, "............"
Chu Jinye raised his eyelids slightly, and found that the originally clear pupils of the person kneeling on the ground were still empty, and his expression was still wooden.
He remembered what he had seen by the lake, and he had been there at first, but he had only hidden in the shadows, and had not appeared.
Their every word, word and deed is in full view.
And Tang Xinyu was brought back to the present, and he always had this expression, which made him feel a little unhappy.
said, "Lao Zhao, lock her up, and don't give her food until she is willing to speak." ”
"Yes, lord." Zhao Yan responded, and Chu Jinye got up to leave.
Walking to the door, Yu Fan, who was waiting here, hurriedly followed and asked: "Master Chitose, the matter you want me to inquire about is already clear, and the people of the Tang family basically know it, and they will say it all after giving some silver." ”
"Well, go to the study."
…
In prison, Zhao Yan locked the prison door, looked at the listless person leaning in the corner, and said bitterly.
"You girl, you have been in trouble twice in three days, this time, you have a hole, right? Alas~ I thought you were a knowledgeable, understanding and pleasing child, and you could stay by the prince's side for a long time......... Alas~~ It's always the whimsical of the old slave. ”
After a few sighs, Tang Xinyu had no waves, and Zhao Yan could only swing his head with his hands behind his back and staggered away.
When the surroundings were quiet, Tang Xinyu lowered the curtain and buried his head in his knees.
Those who forsake me,
The day of yesterday shall not be kept;
Disturb my heart,
Today's day is full of worries.
……
In the study...
“… She was driven out of the house, and the nurse who took care of her was also detained in Tang Mansion, and her subordinates only found so much. ”
Yu Fan has Tang Xinyu not been treated well in Tang Mansion since he was a child, and he doesn't live a life like an inferior person on weekdays, and he has to be a servant with a daughter's body, and he has been born and died several times at a young age, and now that he thinks about it, he was still hostile to her before, and he feels that he is really a bastard!
Chu Jinye stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cool breeze was gusting.
said, "Can you find out her relationship with the Du family?" ”
“… It's been a long time, and the rumors that have been circulated are different, and they haven't been confirmed one by one. Yu Fan hesitated and said, "However, Du Liuyi did marry the Tang family, and for this matter, Prime Minister Du also severed the father-daughter relationship with her, and Du Liuyi died of illness on Miss Tang's fifth birthday, and Prime Minister Du was depressed for several months, but he never went to Tang Mansion to visit dignitaries." ”
Chu Jinye frowned after hearing this.
A delicate voice seemed to ring in his ears, and a smiling face appeared in front of him, handing him a handkerchief embroidered with camellias.
"Big brother, are you hurt? Do you want to wipe it? This is the handkerchief that my mother embroidered for me, look at your good looks, otherwise I won't give it to you. ”
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded between the two of them.
"Guoguo, why did you come here, they all said that there is chaos in the city now, don't be chaotic..."
The woman's voice stopped abruptly when she saw him covered in blood.
"Mother~ He's injured, you can help him."
“…………”
There were countless chasing soldiers in the city, but the pupils of the little girl in the gray corner flashed with a particularly dazzling light, which was a look he had never had.
“…… Okay, Guoguo, my mother bandaged his wounds, it's getting late, we have to go back, otherwise, your father will be angry. ”
"Aren't we going to bring him back?"
"No, Guoguo, obedient..."
A large and a small figure gradually turned into a phantom in front of his eyes, and when he was drowsy, he heard a sound.
"Miss Du, why are you ......?"
Then he fell to the ground, and when he woke up, all he could do was a camellia handkerchief that had fallen from the ground.
……
Yu Fan's voice burst into his mind, shattering the scene into pieces.
"Chitose Lord, what are you going to do with that one in prison?"
Chu Jinye turned around and said, "I care about her very much?" ”
Yu Fan shook his head like a rattle.
He just felt a little pitiful, and felt that if Chitose was punished heavily, he would just say a few words and beg for mercy.
"How are the other members of the Du family doing?" Chu Jinye sat down and asked.
"In the past ten years, my subordinates have checked all the five young ladies of the Du family, and now they are all married and have children, but none of them are the girl named Guoguo you said."
"Keep looking."
"Yes......" Yu Fan had no choice but to respond.
I really don't know why Chitose has been thinking about a person who can't be found for so many years...
…
In the early morning of the second day, when Yu Fan opened the door and was about to change his Chitose master's clothes, he pushed the door and saw a person sitting on a book full of soldiers, with black hair hanging down on the ground, sitting on one knee, looking at the sleeve arrow in his hand with black circles under his eyes.
He hurried forward.
"Chitose Lord, why did you stay up late again, your body will not be able to bear it."
Until he spoke, the people on the ground still did not react, hesitantly put down what was in their hands and turned their heads.
"If it's you, can you find a complete set for assembling Hidden Arrows here?" ”
Yu Fan scratched his head, "Chitose Lord, don't be joking, dozens of sets of sleeve arrows here have been disassembled here, and the rest of the machinery is mixed up, unless you give your subordinates three days." ”
Chu Jinye looked like an idiot, turned his head and glanced at the sleeve arrow on the ground, it was Tang Xinyu's sleeve arrow, after checking it, it was all from his hand.
Interesting.
Get up and say, "Change your clothes." ”
