Eastern Palace Chapter 21: Change (1)

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the East Palace!

I'm like a weighing mound, swaying, sinking all the time...sinking...

I don’t know how long it has been, as if it had been many years later, and it seemed that I was just waking up from a dream. The tenderness in my chest made me open my mouth and spit out a pool of clear water "Wow".

How much water did I drink... I was exhausted by vomiting.

I vomited almost all the water in my stomach, and then I lay there groggy, the dazzling sun shining on my eyes, I tried my best to turn my head and saw a pile of dry grass beside my face. Then I tried my best to change directions and saw a pile of dirt and rocks beside my face.

The corner of the assassin's robe is not far away, hey, it turned out to have been flooded in vain. It was still an assassin, and it was better to live and be held by the assassin.

I really don’t have the strength. I gurgled water out of my mouth as soon as I spoke. I said weakly, "I want to kill or smash..."

The assassin didn’t speak up, but instead used the scabbard to scratch my head. As soon as my head tilted, I continued to spit out water...spit and spit...I just spit out a stream...

I closed my eyes.

I fell asleep faintly.

In the dream, it seems to be in the East Palace. I quarreled with Li Chengyin. He was protecting his Zhao Liangdi, and I had a fierce fight with him. He said, "Do you think it's rare for you to save your father? Don't think that I owe your favor!" I was vomiting blood because of his anger, and I said I don't want you to owe me any favor, but it's just a sword pay Yijian, last time you saved me in front of the assassin, this time I will give it back to you. I said this, but I was so sad that I shed tears. I shed tears and didn't want him to see it, so I lay down on the smoked cage. The smoked cage was really hot. I only lay there for a while, and felt that the flesh, muscles and bones were burning, and the pain made me very uncomfortable.

I lifted my eyelids, my eyes seemed to be swollen, but my face was really hot, and my body became cold. The cold seemed to make my teeth rattle. Is it snowing? I asked Adu, Adu was going to take my little red horse, and A-Daddy was away, so we just sneaked out to ride a horse. Horse races in the snow are fun. The nose is red from the cold, and snow is constantly falling on the sand dunes. The roots of Achnatherum splendens are like Daddy’s beard, and the twists and turns are black and white... Daddy knew that I ran into the snow. I will scold me again...

Li Chengyin has never seen my little red horse, I don’t know how fast it runs...Why do I always think of Li Chengyin, he is not good to me...I feel sour in my heart. No, he is not bad to me, but I hope the only person in his eyes is me...

But he happened to have Zhao Liangdi...Li Chengyin broke the arrow. I remembered that he finally called me hastily. He called: "Xiao Feng..." If I can't go back alive, he must also It will be a little sad... I don’t know how long he will be sad...

I tried my best to open my eyes and found that I was not in the grass pit by the river, but in a small room, with moonlight sparsely leaking in from the outside, and the room was not too dark. , Today should be the Spring Festival... Ten Miles of Lights, Nine-Zhongcheng Que, Eight-way Fireworks, Seven-Star Pagoda, Six Squares, Five Temples Bells, Four Gates Gaoqi, Three Mountains with Music, Two Ways, Two Ways, One School of Peace... …It should be a prosperous and lively Shangyuan Festival... Now this excitement has nothing to do with me... I have been looking forward to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival for a year, but the excitement has not caught up... I feel cold all over , Shivering constantly, only to realize that he was wrapped in a fur. Although this leather is just ordinary sheepskin, but the downy is slender and should be extremely warm, but I finally knew that I was having a fever, and there was a brocade quilt beside the fur, but I still kept shivering.

My eyes gradually adjust to the darkness, and the room is full of cages, but it looks like a barn. The assassin was sitting not far away, watching me slowly wake up, he quietly put a bowl beside me. I ran into that bowl and it turned out to be hot.

"Ginger Soup."

His voice is still that kind of weird accent, I am weak and weak, and even speak like a mosquito hum: "I..."

I can't hold that bowl.

I was ill once. That time I was tossed to death. Now I finally got another ill. I usually don’t want to be ill, but it’s just like that. I tried it twice, but my wrists were sore and I couldn't hold the bowl.

I didn't even count on it, and I didn't bother to think about why the assassin made me a bowl of **** soup, and where is this place. But it is always warmer than the riverside. Although the house is full of things, it is still indoors. It is more than ten times warmer than the windy, cold and turbulent riverside.

The assassin came over and picked up the bowl of **** soup and lifted me up slightly. My throat was sore, and I couldn't take care of it anymore. Holding the bowl with one hand, he swallowed the **** soup. The soup was extremely spicy and of course very awful, but after drinking it, the whole blood seemed to flow again, and I suddenly choked.

My face was red with a cough, and the hand that was holding the bowl could not hold it, shaking constantly. The assassin saw that I was like this, so he held the bowl with one hand and patted my back with the other. I took a sigh of relief. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pulled it off with lightning speed. The cloth towel covered his face.

Originally, with his skill, as long as he dodges, he can avoid it, but if he dodges, he must let go, and as soon as he let go, the back of my head will knock on the box. I originally thought he would evade, and then I could smash the porcelain bowl, maybe I could hide a piece of porcelain while in trouble, just in case. Unexpectedly, he didn't let go of dodge, and what I never expected was the face after the cloth towel was torn off.

I stared at him blankly. The moonlight was bright and clear. Although I came in through the window, I still knew him.

Gu Jian!

How could it be him?

The blood all over my body seems to be pouring to the top of my head, I asked: "Why?"

He didn't answer me, but slowly put down the bowl.

I asked again: "Why?"

Why is it him? Why is he going to hold your Majesty? Why did he hesitate to kill so many people? Why is he taking me captive? why? Why is all this?

I'm so stupid, how many people have such martial arts in the world? Why didn't I think that with the weird skills of an assassin, there would be many such people in the world?

I still shot Mingdi stupidly, looking forward to Gu Jian to rescue me.

Adu's life and death are unknown. Gu Jian is my last hope. I still hope that he can come to save me.

Why?

He said lightly: "Not why."

"You killed so many people!" I was furious, "What do you want to do? Why do you want to hold your Majesty?"

Gu Jian stood up, the moonlight leaking through the window happened to shine on his shoulders, and his tone was still so faint: "If I want to kill, I will kill. If you feel uncomfortable, I have nothing to say."

"What did you do to Adu?" I clutched his sleeve tightly, "If you dare to disadvantage Adu, I must kill you to avenge her."

Gu Jiandao: "I didn't kill Adu, you can believe it or not."

I breathed a sigh of relief for a while, softened my tone, and said, "Then you let me go back, I promise not to talk to people, just as I escaped."

Gu Jian suddenly smiled at me: "Xiao Feng, why?"

I am inexplicable: "What and why?"

"Why do you treat Li Chengyin so well? What's so good about him? He...he has always used you. Especially now he married a woman and another woman. You are often bullied by those women, even he Bullying you, in the future, when he becomes the emperor, there will be more women and more people to bully you. Why do you treat Li Chengyin so well? Is it because Xiliang, you sacrificed your life's happiness, In that deserted deep palace?"

I was stunned and said: "Xiliang is Xiliang, but I am already married to him. Besides, he is not too bad for me..."

"Why is he not bad to you? He has always used you before. Do you know what he is thinking? Do you know what he is calculating? Xiao Feng, you can't win, you can't win those women, more The fight cannot win Li Chengyin. Now they have a little scruples about Xiliang, and once Xiliang is no longer useful to the Central Plains in the future, you will not win the fight at all."

I sighed and said, "I don't have that much heart, but Li Chengyin is my husband. I can't abandon my husband."

Gu Jian sneered: "Then what if Li Chengyin abandons you?"

I shuddered and said, "No."

The first time I met an assassin, he pushed me away; the second time at Mingyufang, he stopped in front of me. Every time he leaves the danger to himself, Li Chengyin will not abandon me.

Gu Jian sneered and said: "Before the sky, what do you think you are worth--If a person wants to be the emperor, it will be hard and cold. If nothing else, I will take you here. You count on Li Will Cheng Yin come to rescue you? Do you think he will be in a hurry to rescue you? But today is Shangyuan, Jinwu forbidden to ride, and the people watch the lights. In order to decorate the peace, there are still nine caves in Shangjing city, and you can’t help entering and leaving. You count What-you don’t deserve the Li family’s father and sons to ignore this Spring Festival... They are still having fun with the people at the Chengtian Gate, but they are not sure whether you are alive or dead. If I were a real assassin, I would kill you with a single blow, and then come out at night Beijing, go flying high...in ten days and eight days, Yu Linjun searched here and found out your body. Li Chengyin just cried a little bit pretendingly, and set him Zhao Liangdi as a princess, who would remember you? , Do you still expect him to remember you?"

I lowered my head and did not speak.

Gu Jian took my hand: "Let’s go, Xiao Feng, come with me. Let’s leave here together, away from the intrigue place, we will go outside the pass, and we will graze horses and sheep together..."

I broke free of his hand and said, "No matter if Li Chengyin treats me well or not, this is the road I chose, and it is also the road chosen by Ady for Xiliang. I cannot escape halfway, nor can Xiliang. ......" I looked at him, "You let me go."

Gu Jian looked at me quietly, and after a while, he said categorically: "No."

I feel extremely depressed and exhausted. I had a fever, and there was a fire in my throat. Now that I have said so much, I feel even more sad. My whole body is soft and weak, and even my breathing seems to have a burning pain. I stroked my throat with my hand, then slowly returned to the box, leaning there weakly.

He originally wanted to say something to me, but seeing me like this, he seemed to be intolerable, so he took the words back and asked me: "What do you want to eat?"

I shook my head.

But he was not discouraged, and asked: "Ask the mandarin ducks in Yuelou, I will buy it for you, OK?"

I shook my head, then suddenly nodded.

He tucked the quilt tighter for me, and then said: "Then you can sleep for a while."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

After about a stick of incense, I opened my eyes again.

The room is still dark and quiet, only the faint moonlight shining in from the window lattice, dimly reflecting underground. I got up and looked at the moon. The moon was as bright as silver. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Shangyuan Festival. The moon is so good, the street must be very lively.

I wrapped the fur tightly, walked over and shook the door, which was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened. I looked around. It was obviously a warehouse. Only the high walls had windows. Those windows were built for ventilation, so they were so high that I couldn't reach them even with my hands.

But there is always a way. I dragged a box over, and then dragged another box on top of it, so that the layers were built up like huge steps. I don't know what's in those boxes, but fortunately they are not heavy. But my whole body was weak, and I didn't have much strength in my hands. When I finally stacked several layers of boxes under the window, I was tired and sweated after all.

I stepped on the box and climbed up. The window frame was carved out of wood. I broke it and didn’t move. I had to climb down again, looking for something good at hand, and opening the boxes. The boxes were all Satin silk. I don't know which rich person locked all such beautiful silks in the warehouse, or whether this is the warehouse of the silk shop. I didn't think too much about it, closed the box disappointedly, and finally saw the porcelain bowl containing **** soup.

I smashed the bowl, selected a sharp piece of the shuttle corner, and climbed the box to saw the window lattice again.

Such a thin carved window lattice, but it's so hard to saw. I kept sawing and sawing... I cut my fingers and bleeds.

I suddenly felt desperate. Maybe Gu Jian is coming back, but I still can't get out.

Although he might not kill me, maybe he will keep me locked up for a lifetime, maybe I will never see Adu and Li Chengyin in the future.

I only despaired for a little while, then I cheered up and started sawing the window lattice again.

I don't know how long it has been until I finally heard a soft "click", and I finally saw the carved flower in the lower corner of the window lattice. I was very energetic and continued to saw the other corner. After the carvings on both corners were cut off, I slammed upwards and broke the window lattice.

I was overjoyed, but it is too high here, I am afraid I will break my leg if I jump down. I pulled out a piece of silk from the box, pressed one end of it under the box, and then threw the other end out of the window. I climbed up the ribbon, turned out the window, and slowly climbed down.

I don’t have much strength in my hand. The ribbon keeps slipping. I have to hold it with my wrist, and the weight of my body hangs on my wrist. The ribbon makes me hurt, but I can’t take care of it anymore. . I was only worried that I would fall as soon as I loosened my hand, so I put it down very carefully, little by little. When the toes finally touched the ground, I only felt my legs softened and the whole person rolled down.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt much. I got up. I just got up and suddenly saw a person standing not far away.

Gu Jian!

He still has the food container in his hand and is looking at me calmly.

I moved the corner of my mouth and smiled at him.

Then I immediately turned around and ran.

Without waiting for me to run three steps away, Gu Jian grabbed me, clasping my wrist with one hand and carrying the food box with the other.

I said: "You let me go, what's the use of keeping me here? I won't go with you anyway."

Gu Jian suddenly sneered and said: "You can go, but you can go to a place with me first. As long as you get there and don't change your mind, I will let you go."

When I heard it, I felt weird, so I asked vigilantly: "Where?"

"You will know when you go."

I looked at him suspiciously, and he said, "If you are scared, just forget it. Anyway, I don't want to let you go. If you don't go, I won't go."

What's so scary, I said loudly: "Do you speak for words?"

Gu Jian suddenly smiled: "As long as you speak up, I will speak up."

I said: "What can you wait for, let's go quickly."

Gu Jian paused again and said, "You don't regret it?"

"Is there any regret." I thought, "You might regret it."

Gu Jian smiled and said: "I won't regret it."

He put down the food box and opened the lid. It turned out to be a plate of mandarin ducks inside. He said: "We will go after you finish eating."

I didn't have any appetite at all, but depending on his appearance, he wouldn't take me away until I finished it, so I picked up my chopsticks and started eating the plate of mandarin ducks. To be honest, my throat is very sore, and my mouth is bitter, even my tongue is wooden, the mandarin duck chews in my mouth, it really doesn't taste at all. But I finished the meal quickly, put the chopsticks aside, and said, "Let's go."

Gu Jian looked at me and asked me: "Is it delicious?"

I nodded indiscriminately. He didn't speak any more, he just looked up at the full moon in the sky, then pulled up the fur for me and kept covering most of my face before saying, "Go Right."

Gu Jian's light work is really fast. I just feel that the branches and leaves of the trees fly past my eyes, then up and down the roof a few times before turning under a high wall.

Looking at the wall, I suddenly felt a little familiar.

As soon as Gu Jian pulled me, I followed him on the wall lightly. When I got to the wall, I couldn't help but secretly look around and look around. I was stupid at this sight.
