Chapter 18: He Is My Man (1)
"Sure enough, it's him."
Yaming looked at the clairvoyant mirror suspended in mid-air, which can cross mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.
In the mirror, Tu Shansong's face is conjured, the face of autumn water is a god, jade is a bone, delicate and charming but not losing masculine handsomeness, oblique flying eyebrows like a gentleman's long sword, the eyebrows between the qi are dusty, the eyes are like paint, and the broken hair in front of the forehead is swaying, like the wind shadow in the painting.
How can people forget such a face?
But Yaming didn't care, she turned around and went to the courtyard, released a flag flower, and looked at the sudden explosion of fire in the sky, and she inadvertently pulled out a three-point smile on her face.
In the dungeon, Tu Shansong turned around and wanted to fly out of the Snake Valley, but suddenly, a powerful barrier rose from the shore and forced him back to the Snake Valley.
Zhuo Rui walked slowly with a fan, followed by all of Jingguo's top magicians.
When he walked to the edge of the pit, Zhuo Rui looked at the young man below with cold eyes and said:
"Assassinating the princess is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans."
——
There are less than three days left before the princess said that the chrysanthemum feast is being held, and the princess's mansion is busy.
Xiao Cong peeled the oranges, and then put the smooth and tender oranges into Xin Yi's mouth.
Xin Yi asked lazily, "Are the daisies given by the VIPs ready?" ”
Huazhu nodded: "Yiwang's family sent the most, and there are all kinds of varieties, if you want to say that this prince is still the closest to Yiwang and us, then Yiwang is a lot inferior, and only sent three or four pots of green chrysanthemums." ”
Hua Lu shook her fan lightly: "King Yi is so noble, but King Yi has been busy with his youngest daughter's marriage recently, and his family's affairs are also in a mess!" ”
As soon as she talked about King Yi, Hua Zhu suddenly jumped in front of the three of them, raised her finger and smiled: "I recently heard an interesting story about King Yi's family, do you want to hear it?" ”
Spit out the orange core, Xin Yi smiled and threw an orange into Huazhu's arms: "You should speak quickly!" ”
"Yes," Hua Zhu saluted respectfully, then raised her head, and said quite mysteriously, "As we all know, the Yi Wang family originally had three sons and one daughter, and the first two sons died at an early age, leaving only a crippled third son. ”
Xiao Cong said: "This is all the sad past of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain between the royal family, and you don't want to say anything new." ”
"That's what I'm talking about, it's been rumored among the people before, his talent is brilliant, his words are as gentle as jade, it's a pity that he lives in the deep courtyard all year round, a few days ago, his sister got married, guess what?"
"What's wrong?" The three of them leaned forward together and asked in unison.
"Not only did the three sons leave the house with all their tails, but also Zhilan Yushu, between their gestures, how could they see the slightest disability, they were all like gentlemen! For a while, the women in Jingcheng were all thinking about it again! ”
Xin Yi nodded slowly, pondered slightly, and said, "If you say this, either he is suffering from a hidden disease, or his previous disability is a lie!" ”
Huazhu hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand and said: "The servant doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the princess forgives the sins, how dare the servant talk about the royal family." ”
Xin Yi glanced at Huazhu with a wicked smile and said, "What about arguing, at the chrysanthemum banquet in three days, we will invite him to come!" I personally wrote him an invitation and said......"
"Let's just say that I am hard, I heard that Brother Wang is well and cares, so he must get it, otherwise it will be the crime of bullying the king!"
After getting this plan, the three girls also smiled silently, in fact, Huazhu said this at this time, most of them had such thoughts, and this promised, the three of them were happy to satisfy their curiosity.
While the four of them were laughing, a palace of people came to pass it on.
"Princess, the eldest prince has come to see you, and I heard that he caught the criminal who poisoned you."
Xin Yi waved his hand: "Didn't he announce that he had caught it!" ”
The palace people were puzzled: "But this time, the eldest prince did bring someone to His Majesty." ”
Xin Yi, who has been in the palace for a year, deeply understands that this kind of thing is better to kill by mistake than to let go. If that person is innocent, Zhuo Rui will face the fate of killing innocents indiscriminately; But if that man is really him......
Thinking of this, Xin Yi threw the dates in his hand on the stone table, got up and walked briskly to the front hall.
If it was him, what would she do? Should she recognize him? Or should he pretend he doesn't know anything and let him be judged as he deserves?
His brain was blank, and in a blink of an eye, he had already seen Zhuo Rui in the front hall, and at this moment, he was sitting in front of the hall, sipping a sip of new tea.
"Brother Huang, what about people?" After saluting, Xin Yi unabashedly asked about the man's whereabouts.
Zhuo Rui slowly took a sip of tea and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Xin Yi took a step forward: "Give him to me, Imperial Brother, I must at least take a look at who he is first, right?" At the very least, I had to ask him, why did you hurt me? ”
Zhuo Rui looked at the imperial sister in front of him, after saying goodbye last time, he already felt that she was very different from before, and now when he saw him again, he felt that if he judged the two of them, her nervous eyebrows and eyes, and the words that were pressing step by step, completely got rid of the image of a princess who looked at the world coldly and only knew indifference and killing.
He put down the teacup and made no sound. Xin Yi thought that he still disagreed, so he said:
"My face is not good yet, Brother Huang, I have to ask him for the antidote to this snake venom!"
Zhuo Rui looked like he had just woken up from a dream, immediately stood up, pondered for a moment, and said, "But I asked him, he ...... There is no antidote, he said. ”
After that, he turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look at his sister's lonely eyes.
Xin Yi lowered his head to probe his brother's expression, hoping to get a clue from it: "How did you ask him?" ”
"I've tried it all! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been left alive to come and talk to you. ”
Xin Yi only felt that the sky was dark, and her mind echoed with Song's gentle eyebrows and eyes, a shallow smile and a glamorous appearance, and remembered the appearance of Song's vigorous like a white crane shuttling through the forest to pick fruits for her, and remembering the way he meekly and skillfully handed the chopsticks to her......
What can he withstand as a meek person?
She only felt that her knees were weak, and when she reacted, she had fallen to one knee on the ground, and when she raised her face, she was facing Zhuo Rui's bewildered face.
"Brother Huang," Xin Yi pleaded, "please let me see him again now, I want to ...... Ask him something. ”
Zhuo Rui pondered for a moment and nodded.
Immediately, the brother and sister walked out of the princess's mansion quickly, Xiao Cong took a cloak and followed closely, and the three of them and three fast horses went straight to the palace Qing Imperial Garden.
The eldest prince was in the Qing Imperial Garden all the year round, and the emperor said that it was a place where he could study quietly, but in fact, everyone knew that he was worried that he would be involved in partisan strife prematurely.
I don't know how many corridors they passed, and a few twists and turns in the secret door, the three of them came to an unknown dark room in the depths of the Qing Imperial Garden. Zhuo Rui pushed open the last stone door and said:
"This stone gate leads to the heavenly prison, and it is also common to the palace, Xinyi, and the secret passage here cannot be known to outsiders. Xiao Cong is a royal dead soldier, and she knows her own proportions. ”
Xiao Cong nodded, seeing that the two of them looked serious, Xin Yi also nodded in affirmation.
As soon as the stone door opened, what greeted me was a thin young man tied to a wooden stake, covered in blood and scars, his hair was scattered at the moment, and he was stuck with the blood stains.
But just by looking at the figure, she recognized him at a glance. Even though he had only been with her for a few days, she had already engraved his shadow in her deep mind.
She stepped forward slowly, still with a glimmer of hope, and picked up his blood-stained head.
His face was already in tatters, and not a single piece of his face had fallen where it should have been swollen or green.
It may be that the jailers also like to pick good things to waste, and this face has been stained with blood so that you can't see a little complete skin.
Xin Yi still didn't want to die, she asked the jailer next to her for a clean, wet towel, and wiped the prisoner's face little by little.
Xiao Cong couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Princess, I'll come." ”
Hearing the word princess, the man was slightly stunned, raised his head and glanced at Xin Yi, his lips opened, and finally spit out a sentence:
"Princess Xinyi, your face injury is not healed yet."
As soon as this voice came out, all her hopes were suddenly shattered, and she was forced to apologize and be sad, but more importantly, she was stranger and fearful of many people in front of her, and she continued to wipe his dirty face little by little.
"Sure enough, the same kind of poison, why would it be restrained, it was not someone else who deceived me, it was you. Princess, you've seen that for a long time, haven't you? I'm not as good as others, I just want to die quickly. ”
Zhuo Rui took a step forward and said, "If you quickly say the solution to this poison, you may be able to avoid the sins of your nine clans!" ”
Hearing this, Tu Shansong laughed unconsciously, this laughter shook his wound and tore it open again, he couldn't help but let out a secret sigh, but then, he smiled:
"I don't have any nine clans, I only have one father, didn't I die in the princess's game a long time ago?"
