Chapter 258: The Strength That Can't Be Killed

Chu Yan stretched out his hand, picked up the book of "Medicine Sutra", and looked at the contents as if he was careless.

The handwriting ranges from youthful to sophisticated, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the sharp brushwork between the strokes.

The content in it is also that each entry is listed the key points very carefully and meticulously, and you can see how much effort the owner of the book has spent to learn those obscure pharmacology.

Six years ago, after Chu Yan entered the Cloud Kingdom, he had heard people talk about her past.

She was born to be the embodiment of auspiciousness, inheriting the blessings of heaven and earth, and having a respected status, but wherever she walked, the people greeted her.

Yunguo assists the monarchy with ghosts and gods, and the saints have been passed down from generation to generation, but there has never been a generation of saints who are loved by the people like her.

It is reported that at dusk the day before the destruction of the Yun Kingdom, Emperor Er also built a high altar in the city and ordered her to come forward to pray for the blessings of the people and stabilize the people's hearts.

But only a few hours later, she was tied to the castle tower by her biological father.

Bright life falls like stars, and all the good things come to an abrupt end.

After her death, the foot of the holy mountain was filled with flowers for the people to pay tribute to.

For a long time, there were people crying for her every night in Yunbian City.

Six years ago, Chu Yan returned to reality from the grief of his mother's suicide, full of anger, and his heart was colder than a stone.

He looked at a thin and pitiful figure from afar, who was pushed down from the city tower, and fell into a blur of flesh and blood, and no one dared to touch it.

Collecting her body for her was the only trace of mercy that rose from his cold heart.

Later, for a whole year, rumors about her often rang in his ears.

He never cared.

But at this moment, those news related to her, just like this "Book of Medicine", the entries are clear, and the pen power is profoundly in his mind.

"The little princess loves to laugh very much, but in front of people, she has to maintain the majesty of the saint, so she doesn't laugh, when she laughs, her eyes are like crescent moons, but she looks good."

"The little princess made the pepper liquor herself, even the old lady of the Ji family was full of praise, saying that it was the best pepper liquor he had ever drunk."

"The little princess often sneaks out to play, even the little beggar can be friends with her, and if she is recognized, she will not be bowed down, but only called her aunt."

Chu Yan's heart seemed to be clenched by a ruthless hand, a little bit, and it hurt.

In the bottom of her heart, how did she survive such a moment?

How, in the past six years, he has polished himself into what he is now......

"Your Highness? Your Highness? ”

Shen Lingxi watched Chu Yan look at the medicine scripture in his hand, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "What is Your Highness thinking?" ”

Chu Yan came back to his senses and stared into her eyes.

The black and white apricot eyes are pure and innocent, and there is nothing else under the eyes except doubts.

Only those who are truly strong in their hearts can still be reborn no matter how unbearable the pain they have experienced.

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

Now she is no longer the innocent little princess who is slaughtered by others.

It's Shen Lingxi.

From the day Chu Yan met Shen Lingxi, she had grown into a flexible but fearless appearance.

Chu Yan's eyelashes moved slightly, and he put the medicine scripture in his hand back on the bookcase.

"Didn't think about anything." He looked down at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just saw things here, and suddenly remembered the little princess." ”

Hearing him mention himself, Shen Lingxi's eyes flashed slightly.

"Oh? What did Her Highness think of her? ”

The face seemed to be asking casually, but the ears were already silently propped up.

Chu Yan rolled her eyes slightly, "I think if she knows that she will be treated as a ghost after death, she will be very angry." ”

Speaking of this, his voice was slightly cold, and there was a little more anger, "Today's whips, I think they are too light, and they should be killed to set an example." ”

Shen Lingxi's heart was a little calmer.

She thought he would ask her why she was suddenly in trouble at the city gates.

"Your Highness, if you don't think it's enough, I'll add some to them next time. When we first arrived, we were killed the first time, which was not good. ”

Chu Yan was almost amused by her, "Looking at today's battle, I thought you were even more angry than me, but I didn't expect you to come to comfort me at this time." ”

Shen Lingxi blinked.

She subconsciously cleared up the relationship: "After all, the little princess is the 'original match' on His Highness's face, those people arranged her like this, and His Highness should be angry, I just share His Highness's worries." ”

"Okay, if anyone dares to slander her in the future, you will be angry for me." Chu Yan looked at her and said, "Life or death, I will bear something." ”

Shen Lingxi nodded in response.

She was silent for a few breaths, she really couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "Your Highness once said that marrying the spiritual position of the little princess is just an expedient measure, and she has no feelings for the little princess. Why are you so concerned about her now? ”

Chu Yan has never been easily emotionally touched, how could he kill those officials for a person who met in Pingshui?

"I ...... to her It's not all emotionless. Chu Yan meant something authentic.

Shen Lingxi: ???

Not entirely emotionless......

What kind of relationship is it?

In her previous life, she didn't even recognize him.

Chu Yan saw that her eyes showed a blank look, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly.

"In short, as long as I live, I will never allow others to slander her in front of me. In the future, please take your time to this matter. ”

Shen Lingxi hesitated and nodded.

*

On the first day of the crown princess's entry into the city, she ordered the news of the whipping of the minister, and almost overnight, it spread in Yunbian City.

The place where Xiao Rui whipped those officials was chosen under the city gate.

More than a dozen people knelt on the ground, crackling and pumping with the long whip, and the ghosts cried wolf in pain.

There were a few weak bodies, and after less than five strokes, they fainted in pain.

Those are Xiao Rui's cronies, and Xiao Rui doesn't want to beat them too hard.

Unexpectedly, he was just going to have people carry away the faint man on the groundβ€”

Mu Huai'an had already asked the doctor to take the golden needle and ginseng, and stepped forward to hang them.

"The crown princess said that nine means 'long-term', and it must be remembered in mind, and no whip can be missing."

Xiao Rui was extremely angry, his eyes were like copper bells, and he warned fiercely: "Mu Huai'an, the prince is only staying here for two or three months, you are just a lost dog now, and you can't go anywhere except Yunjiang in the future, you don't want to gain an inch." ”

Mu Huai'an smiled at him.

"General Xiao is not a 'lost dog', it's not the same, he can't go anywhere except Yunjiang?"

"Instead of caring about me, the general should care more about your subordinates. The crown princess only said nine lashes, and she didn't say whether it was light or heavy......"

"You see, I know that using ginseng hangs their lives, and in order to show your loyalty to His Highness, General, this is too hard. Tsk, it's all your own people, so why bother. ”

After speaking, he did not forget to cast a sympathetic look at those who were beaten.

Such words to sow discord, in Xiao Rui's eyes, are simply a little trick that children can't get on the stage.

"Mu Huai'an, do you think this general will be your fool?" He sneered: "If this general shows mercy, if you go to the woman to complain again, she will have another excuse to be a demon." ”

With that, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Fight! Give General Ben a hard beating! Enough whips to get nine lashes! ”

Mu Huai'an looked at those who were beaten with "sympathy" in his eyes.

When he saw it, they looked at Xiao Rui's gaze, and gradually became disappointed in the fierce whipping.

Mu Huai'an hooked his lips silently......

The next shift is uncertain.
