After the hero goes crazy
Chapter 295 The Prophet
Zhu Hengrui has a carefree personality, if she hates someone, she won't even look at him.
But if she likes someone, then she has no way to talk about it!
Yao Shouning awakened the power of the Bianji clan. Before that, he heard the demon fox king talking nonsense, saying 'she was married to King Jian in a previous life'.
And Yao Shouning was very curious, he was not sure when he had inquired with Zhu Hengrui in private.
It is very possible that her mother told her all about King Jian's "beautiful" back then.
Most importantly, no matter what Lu Zhi thinks, the phrase 'cutting off the root of life' sounds too much like Zhu Hengrui's tone...
After a lot of guessing and thinking, he figured out the truth.
Thinking of this, Shi Zi became vigilant and quickly reminded Yao Shouning:
"You have to stay away from my mother in the future."
After he said this, Yao Shouning was a little puzzled:
"why?"
"Of course it's because..."
Yao Shouning's personality is innocent and lively, and very cute, while his mother is cruel and domineering. When the two get together, it's impossible to tell when Zhu Hengrui will lead him to ruin.
He thought of Yao Shouning's ferocious appearance wearing a warrior uniform and carrying a spear in his mind, and he couldn't help but get excited, and subconsciously said:
"I'm afraid she will take you..."
The son didn't notice it for a while, and was almost tricked by her to tell the truth. Fortunately, he woke up in time and shut up, saying:
"My mother's temperament is not easy to get along with, and since she was a child, she likes to wield knives and guns, and beat people when she disagrees."
"I don't think it's like..."
Yao Shouning stared at the back of Lu Zhi's head suspiciously, thinking that he was lying to him.
"Really!" Lu Zhi raised his voice, talking nonsense:
"She is getting close to you now because she treats you as her own, but do you know how my mother treats her as her own?"
Yao Shouning thought he was crazy, and didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.
The son said again:
"She likes to beat people. How did my mother beat me when I was bewitched that day?"
"..."
"Not only was I beaten, but my father was also beaten." He revealed again.
"..."
General Lu's tall and strong figure came to Yao Shouning's mind. It was really hard for her to imagine the serious Lu Wuji being beaten by the eldest princess...
"Stay away from her, don't be so stupid next time." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the hole, kicked his feet hard, and jumped out of the underground maze with Yao Shouning on his back:
"But don't worry, if my mother is vicious, you can find me quickly, I will help you..."
While the two were talking, they had already escaped.
The cold wind blew in, blowing away the stale air that the two of them had acquired in the underground labyrinth, making their minds much clearer in an instant.
Yao Shouning took a deep breath, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
Lu Zhi kicked the stone slab and barely covered the tunnel, when he heard the sound of messy footsteps in the distance, and an old woman shouted vigilantly:
"who?"
While talking, the door in the distance opened with a 'creak' sound. Lu Zhi raised his head with Yao Shouning behind his back, and saw an elderly woman holding the door panel vigilantly, staring at the two intruders with an unfriendly expression. .
Lu Zhi didn't answer, but turned his head and looked around.
This is a courtyard, the place is not very big, it looks a bit dilapidated.
A few clumps of bamboo were planted in the corner of the house, and a big tree was planted near the wall. In the cold winter months, the leaves of the trees were withered, and it looked a bit bleak.
There was a stone table and chair under the tree, but it was covered with moss, obviously no one had sat on it for a long time.
In the distance is a row of wing rooms, with ropes hanging outside, some clothes, dried vegetables, etc. are hung to dry, which is no different from ordinary houses.
The courtyard was cleaned fairly cleanly, but it was lifeless, not like a place where a royal princess lived.
Ever since the old King Jian harassed Yao Shouning, Lu Zhi had investigated the life of King Jian, and he also knew that his princess, who had disappeared many years ago, was in the inner city under the arrangement of the late Emperor after she severely injured King Jian. In the south of the Chenghuang Palace, they found a house and set it up as a nunnery for penance, but they didn't expect that the concubine's nunnery would be so miserable.
In fact, after he knew about this incident, he also considered visiting the living Princess Jian, hoping to find out the weakness of King Jian from her mouth, and take revenge in the future.
But because of time, before he had time to act, he met in this way tonight.
The son doesn't believe in cause and effect, but at this time he can't help thinking that it is a coincidence.
"We... um..."
He opened his mouth to speak, but Yao Shouning stretched out a hand to cover his mouth tightly.
Shizi's mouth is not flattering, Yao Shouning quarreled with him several times and said he could not win him, fearing that he would offend others and be driven away if he opened his mouth.
She didn't allow the son to speak, but she poked her head out from behind Lu Zhi, looked at the old woman pitifully and smiled:
"Auntie, we ran into trouble tonight. We got here by mistake when we lost our way. Now that we heard thunder and lightning, I'm afraid a thunderstorm is coming, so we want to rest here for a while."
As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of muffled thunder above the head, and the lightning flashed, revealing the appearance of the two.
Both Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning have a good temperament.
Although the two of them were in a mess and disheveled, but the man was tall and straight, and the girl had a soft and lovely voice, and now acting like a baby was so good that it was hard to refuse.
But that old woman was obviously different from ordinary people. She didn't let down her guard because of Yao Shouning's flattery and obedience. Instead, her eyes fell on the courtyard gate in the distance.
The gate of the courtyard was latched and had not been opened by anyone, but these two people suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhi's feet, she squinted her eyes, she could vaguely see the turned over soil, and couldn't help but feel more guarded.
The old woman did not agree, but her mind was full of confusion.
The sudden appearance of these two people seemed to crawl out of a secret passage underground, which made her heart sink.
The person who lives here is the old concubine who almost died in the hands of King Jian. After the accident, although the late emperor made the decision to save her life, King Jian hated his wife to the bone.
When the first emperor was around, the people in Prince Jian's residence did not dare to do anything blatantly.
After the death of the first emperor, Emperor Shenqi was selfish and indifferent, he didn't even care about his own relatives, so how could he care about an elder who was a generation away and who was not of the same branch?
Since then, the people of Prince Jian's mansion have been extremely harsh on this old concubine, cut off all her food and clothing, and even regarded the surviving concubine Jian as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. dead old wife.
Under such circumstances, when such a strange young man and woman suddenly appeared in the nunnery, the uneasiness in the old woman's heart was naturally magnified.
In the dead of night, the two people did not know where they came from.
There are only two elderly women in the room. If the other party is a strong man, how can the two of them resist?
"We are poor here, really..."
Before the old woman could say her refusal, she was suddenly interrupted by a coughing sound from inside the room, and then another old hoarse voice shouted:
"Ji Lan—"
As soon as the voice called, the old woman became anxious immediately, she didn't care about talking to Yao Shouning and the two, she turned her head and shouted:
"Really, please wait a moment."
"Ahem—is there a guest?" The old woman in the house didn't pay attention to her words, but asked.
The woman known as 'Ji Lan' showed helplessness, so she could only respond:
"Two people suddenly appeared in the yard..."
She didn't dare to speak too clearly, for fear that Lu Zhi would have malicious intentions.
Shi Zi looked tall and strong, and he came out of nowhere in the middle of the night. Even if he wasn't a villain, he might be in trouble.
The old woman hoped to use such vague words to send a message to Jingqing in the house so that she would stop asking.
Unexpectedly, when she said this, the real Jingqing in the room said:
"We are guests from afar, since they are all here, let's invite two guests to come in and have a seat."
Yao Shouning was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted Lu Zhi's shoulder, but that mother-in-law Ji Lan was a little reluctant, and said in a low voice:
"Really, these two people are very unfamiliar."
"It's okay, we two old ladies have nothing to live on, and the house is also impoverished. Apart from our two lives, what else is there to be worried about?"
Daoist Jingqing was not afraid, she coughed twice, and then her voice was panting:
"If it's really malicious, how can the two of us stop it?"
After she said this, Yao Shouning immediately answered:
"Don't worry, Auntie, we are really not bad people, we just want to borrow a place to stay temporarily."
The real Jingqing in the room had already spoken, and Granny Ji Lan also knew that she couldn't stop Yao Shouning and the two of them.
"Ugh--"
The old woman sighed, and the quiet person in the room spoke again:
"Cough...cough cough...let them in."
She was in a hurry, and when she spoke, she coughed piercingly, which made Grandma Jilan suspicious.
Since the former Princess Jian left the mansion to live alone, she seemed to see through many things, her temperament changed drastically, and she didn't care about worldly fame, status, wealth, etc. at all.
But tonight, she seemed to be a different person. When she heard that a 'guest' broke into the house, instead of avoiding it, she seemed to be very earnest, and even said a few words for Ji Lan to welcome him into the house.
Grandma Ji Lan was a little suspicious, but it was inconvenient for her not to listen to Master Jingqing's words, so she had no choice but to grab the door panel and pull it open with a 'creak' sound.
The dim light in the room leaked out like water, illuminating the courtyard, and her shadow was stretched extremely long by the light:
"Two guests, my real family welcomes you."
After she finished speaking, she sighed again:
"...We are just two lonely old women who have been rejected. We really have neither money nor use. If you have nothing to do, you should leave quickly..."
Yao Shouning understood the meaning of Granny Ji Lan's words, she looked at Lu Zhi with some embarrassment, stuck out her tongue, and thought: It seems that this old woman regards her and the prince as robbers who broke through the empty door.
Lu Zhi also heard her dislike, but he didn't take it seriously.
He is a self-confident man, and he has rarely suffered setbacks since he was a child. Even if he fled for his life and entered other people's courtyard at this time, he didn't take it seriously when he heard the disgust in other people's words. Instead, he swaggered into the house behind Yao Shouning's back. It's like going back to your own territory.
As soon as he entered the room, Yao Shouning felt his body gradually warming up.
Too many things happened tonight. After Chen Taiwei left, she walked in the underground labyrinth for an unknown amount of time. Not only was her body exhausted, but even her consciousness was almost exhausted.
In addition, her mind was tense, worried that Chen Taiwei would go and return, even when joking and joking with Shizi, she dared not completely let go of her guard.
Until now, when she entered the nunnery of Master Jingqing, she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood in her nose, which brought her a sense of tranquility and made her heave a long sigh of relief.
The girl patted Shizi on the shoulder, motioning him to put himself down.
Lu Zhi let go of his hand according to his words, and Yao Shouning's body slid to the ground. Once the two separated, they both felt a little cold.
Although Grandma Ji Lan said that these two uninvited guests were not welcome, after welcoming them into the house, she saw that these two people seemed to be quite young, with upright expressions, not like those rascals who had anything to do with Prince Jian's mansion. The worry was slightly relieved.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhi, and she saw that he was tall and straight, with a straight back, and he seemed to be very heroic.
It's just that the whole body seems to be painted, and there are many holes in the clothes, revealing the wounds inside.
The girl standing beside him looked young, with disheveled hair and dusty face, but those big eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Her heart was relieved, but she still went to the outside kitchen to fetch some hot water with a cold face:
"Wipe your face, don't disturb the real person."
After Yao Shouning thanked him, he soaked his cold little hands in hot water.
The hot water was extremely hot, and it quickly wrapped her palms, and a warmth was transmitted from her fingers to her limbs, making her feel relaxed.
She sighed, although she was reluctant to let go of the heat, she quickly twisted the veil and handed it to Lu Zhi:
"The prince wipes his face."
She is so considerate and well-behaved, looking up at him with a dirty little face and smiling, her eyes seem to contain brilliance, and she smiles faintly.
Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something in his heart was rapidly falling.
He took the steaming handkerchief over in a daze, saw her grinning from being burned, and shook his hands.
Yao Shouning's hands were so cold that they almost lost consciousness, but suddenly soaked in hot water, they were already flushed, and as she flicked them, a white mist spread.
"Auntie, we are..." She was talking to Granny Ji Lan.
'Bang bang bang!bang bang bang! '
Lu Zhi's heart was beating faster and faster at this moment. He spread the veil in silence, but he didn't wipe it off his face. Instead, he pulled Yao Shouning over to wipe her face.
"Eh!"
What Yao Shouning was about to say was interrupted by Lu Zhi, and the dust on her face was quickly wiped off by Shi Zi.
Lu Zhi didn't wait on people often, but he put his hands lightly, as if he was afraid of rubbing her and hurting her.
"Oh my lord, don't interrupt my conversation..."
She tilted her head and wanted to struggle, but Lu Zhi's hand was pressing on the back of her head, insisting on wiping off every filth on her face.
When she met Chen Taiwei, she should have cried. The tears she shed soaked the dust into two tear stains, which he wiped away one by one, watching the beautiful girl show her original face in front of him.
"..."
Witnessing this scene, Ji Lan's mother-in-law was too shocked to speak.
The girl who wiped away the dust is like a bright pearl, extraordinarily beautiful.
And the "prince son" she called it showed that Lu Zhi's background was not ordinary.
"Auntie," Yao Shouning couldn't push Lu Zhi's hand, so he had to let him wipe his face, taking advantage of the gap, he said to Granny Ji Lan:
"My surname is Yao, and my father is the commander of the North City Army and Horse Division."
She knew that Ji Lan's mother-in-law was uneasy about the arrival of the two, so in order to dispel the old man's fear, she took the lead in reporting her name.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Grandma Ji Lan's complexion changed drastically.
"Are you here for the affairs of Prince Jane's Mansion?"
People from Prince Jian's residence made a big fuss about Yao's family yesterday, and within a day, word spread in Shendu.
Some people watched the fun, some gossiped, and some despised the 90-year-old old prince for still not changing his greedy and lustful thoughts and flirting with a young girl who hadn't left the court.
Afterwards, I heard that the people from Prince Jian's mansion went crazy when they met the son of General Dingguo Shenwu's mansion, so they beat them up once.
The news spread very quickly, and even Granny Ji Lan, who was trapped here, heard some clues.
If there are other rumors, it has nothing to do with the two old people.
But it was King Jian who caused the trouble, and the identity of the person in the house is really sensitive...
Now that the sufferer who was harassed by King Jian came to the door, Grandma Ji Lan's face was a little ugly:
"If this is the case, you have found the wrong person!"
"no no!"
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Yao Shouning quickly shook his head.
She hated King Jian very much, but she clearly knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jing Qing, who had left Prince Jian's mansion back then.
"This is the eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion. Our coming tonight has nothing to do with the affairs of Prince Jian's Mansion, but..."
She stretched out her hand to press Shizi, and wanted to explain her intention seriously, but before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by the Jingqing real person in the room:
"The eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion? The young lady of the Yao family? But the second young lady?"
The old woman in the room seemed very excited when she heard the identities of the two.
After asking several questions one after another, the sound of "Xisuo" came, as if someone had lifted the quilt and was about to get up and get out of bed.
Jingqing's movement fell into the ears of several people outside. Grandma Ji Lan's expression changed slightly, with anxiety in her eyes, she strode into the room quickly, and then shouted eagerly:
"How can you get out of bed?"
"Shizi and Second Miss come in quickly!"
That real person Jingqing ignored Granny Ji Lan's words, but gasped twice and then shouted at the two people outside.
She hadn't gotten an answer to her previous question, but this real Jingqing seemed to be very sure of Yao Shouning's identity.
Yao Shouning glanced at Shizi in confusion, and he also frowned, a little puzzled.
But the call of the elders can't be delayed, especially this real Jingqing is very old and sick.
Thinking of this, Yao Shouning tugged on Lu Zhi's sleeve, motioning him to enter the room with him.
The prince wiped the veil she had wiped her face on his head and face indiscriminately a few times, and after roughly wiping his face, the two of them entered the room holding hands.
In the 'illusion', Yao Shouning had already seen the decorations in the house.
But when she really stepped into this wing room, an indescribable sense of shock still flooded her heart.
There is a simple cabinet in the room, the window is half open, and a blue and white porcelain vase is placed on the cabinet in front of the window, with a few plum blossoms inserted in it, emitting bursts of fragrance.
The blue curtain on the bed was held by copper hooks, and an old woman with a black forehead and a sickly face was sitting up with her hands on the porcelain pillow.
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
She coughed so hard that her body bowed like a frightened shrimp. At this moment, Grandma Ji Lan was reaching out to pat her on the back with a look of uneasiness and helplessness.
Anyone can see that the body of this old Jingqing real person is close to the state of oil and light, and I am afraid that the deadline is not far away.
Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, but did not speak.
After coughing for a while, Master Jingqing raised his head panting, but stared at the two standing not far away with a strange look.
"Unexpectedly, it really came...cough...cough cough..."
After finishing speaking, she actually waved at the two of them:
"Good boy, come here a little bit."
Her tone and demeanor were a little weird, as if she was not surprised by the arrival of Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi, but more like there was some inside story and secret in it.
Lu Zhi was wary, but he felt that the old woman in front of him didn't have any cultivation, and she didn't seem to be hostile, but this attitude was really strange.
However, he still pulled Yao Shouning behind him, and he followed his advice.
"princess……"
Grandma Ji Lan was also a little nervous, and subconsciously called out the identity of the real Jingqing back then.
In the past, if she yelled the wrong words, she would definitely be reprimanded by Master Jingqing, but at this time, Master Jingqing ignored her at all and looked at Lu Zhi obsessively.
"It turned out to be true, it turned out to be true...cough cough..."
She only knew to repeat these two sentences back and forth, and finally wanted to reach out and touch Lu Zhi.
The son's eyes were fixed, and he wanted to retreat subconsciously, but before he moved, Jingqing retracted his hand first, and turned to ask Granny Jilan:
"Ji Lan, Ji Lan, are they real people? Help me see if I'm hallucinating!"
Jingqing's strange performance not only aroused the curiosity of Yao Shouning and the two of them, but even Grandma Ji Lan was puzzled:
"Really, these two people are weird, and they suddenly appeared in our yard," she said, looking at the pair of young men and women with some embarrassment, and then whispering in Jingqing's ear:
"One is surnamed Yao, and the other is said to be the eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion..."
She muttered softly:
"I doubt it. I'm afraid it's because of King Jian's affairs."
When talking about King Jian, this mother-in-law Ji Lan had a look of disgust on her face.
In fact, if Yao Shouning and the two of them hadn't come here tonight, they would probably have troubled Master Jingqing. In fact, she felt very sympathetic to Second Miss Yao who unfortunately fell in love with that old thief King Jian.
The girl is still very young, like a flower bud that is just about to bloom, yet that old bastard King Jian is so shameless.
Grandma Ji Lan's voice was very soft, but among the few people here, the eldest son possesses martial arts skills and outstanding hearing.
And the power of Yao Shouning's blood was activated, and his five senses were also extraordinary.
Both of them heard Granny Ji Lan's words clearly, and before they had time to defend themselves, the first person to speak was Jingqing Daoist:
"No no no."
She shook her head quickly, interrupting Granny Ji Lan's guess:
"They didn't come here for King Jian's business."
On the face of this terminally ill old man who seemed to be dying, a long-cherished wish finally came true:
"They're here to..."
Before she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes:
"Ji Lan, these two little guests must be hungry and tired after walking all the way, so please come and prepare some snacks and tea for them."
"princess……"
Ji Lan was a little flustered, but Master Jingqing shook her head, and said with a faint smile:
"You're wrong again. I'm no longer a princess. I'm just a widowed practitioner."
She ordered softly:
"Don't make a fuss, quietly prepare some food and come in. I have something to tell these two little guests, don't worry, they didn't come here for the affairs of Prince Jian's mansion, and they won't do me any harm."
After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Yao Shouning:
"Second Miss Yao, right?"
"……Correct."
Yao Shouning hesitated to agree, feeling a little strange.
Obviously she is a member of the Bianji clan, and she is also the one who has the ability to predict, but everything that happened tonight is a bit weird.
This elderly woman seemed to have guessed her and Lu Zhi's identities long ago, as well as the purpose of their visit, and she was not curious or panicked about their arrival, but gave Yao Shouning a sense that everything had been expected by her. In general, it is very strange.
Grandma Jilan was still a little worried, but Master Jingqing was unquestionable, and sent her away with a rare tough attitude.
After they left, she coughed twice, then waved to them:
"Do you two have a lot of questions in your mind?"
She squeezed a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and stared at the two with a smile in her eyes.
"Correct."
Lu Zhi responded very simply, and asked out the doubts in his heart one by one:
"You seem to know who we are, and you seem to have expected us to come."
That's how Jingqing felt to him, but how could this be possible?
Possessing the power of foresight is a gift from heaven to the Bianji clan, so how could Daoist Jingqing know this?
Could it be that she is also a descendant of the Bianji clan?
impossible!
As soon as this idea flooded into Lu Zhi's mind, he was immediately denied by himself.
"The prince is right."
Lu Zhi originally thought that the former Princess Jian might not be able to answer his question, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the elder nodded:
"I know who you are, and I know you will come."
As soon as she said this, Lu Zhi's expression changed slightly.
He held Yao Shouning's hand tightly, guessing in his heart whether the old concubine had colluded with Chen Taiwei and deliberately set up an ambush here...
When I was thinking wildly in my heart, I heard Master Jingqing sigh again:
"But I just know that you will come sooner or later, but I don't know that you will come tonight."
What does this mean?
Yao Shouning was a little puzzled and looked up at Shizi, but he saw that his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was full of guard, looking at Master Jingqing.
"Ugh……"
Master Jingqing sighed, and before he could finish his sigh, he coughed crazily again.
When Yao Shouning heard that she was out of breath, he felt panicked, deeply afraid that this Jingqing real person would cough too much and die in front of the two of them.
"Renren, you, would you like to drink some water to moisten your throat..." She asked timidly, making Jingqing a faint smile.
In the mouth of the eldest princess Zhu Hengrui, she was the sturdy princess who once dissatisfied with her husband's lust and lust and cut off King Jian's life in a fit of anger.
But at this moment, she was smiling all over her face, and even though she was sick, she still cleaned up very decently, and did not allow herself to show a weak and slovenly image.
From her gestures, it can be seen that her good cultivation, as well as her gentle and kind personality, made it difficult for Yao Shouning to connect her with the rumored Princess Jian for a while.
"Good boy, listen to me."
She pointed to the stool next to the table in the room, motioning for the two to sit down.
Everything that happened tonight was so bizarre that Yao Shouning always felt that after he and Lu Zhi broke into this small courtyard, they might be able to find out some big secrets from the mouth of this true Jingqing.
She was curious, and immediately helped Master Jingqing back to the bed, and was about to turn around to move the stool, but saw that Lu Zhi had already taken the stool, and she and Lu Zhi sat down on Master Jingqing obediently in front of.
The old woman pulled the quilt to block her skinny body, and then said:
"My identity, you come here, you must understand, right?"
Yao Shouning nodded:
"You cut off King Jane's life back then..."
She blurted out what the eldest princess said, and realized that her words were too offensive.
But the former Princess Jian didn't blame her, instead she pursed her lips and smiled, as if lost in memory:
"Yeah...Thirty-one years have passed..."
Her eyes gradually blurred, and she said:
"Everything is like a dream..."
Speaking of this, Master Jingqing smiled and nodded slightly at the two of them:
"I don't have many guests here, and some things have been hidden in my heart for many years. I hope the two little guests don't think I'm nagging, and let me tell you one by one."
Yao Shouning nodded heavily.
She likes listening to stories, especially listening to such a legendary figure tell her own story, which is much more interesting than listening to books or reading scripts.
Lu Zhi's reaction was different from hers. Although he was sitting here, he had already let go of his spiritual power to prevent danger from coming.
"I was born in the Sun family in Hezhong, and I am the eldest daughter of the family..."
Master Jingqing talked about her background, but Yao Shouning got a rough idea of her identity from Lu Zhi.
But Lu Zhi's brief words at that time were far inferior to that of Jingqing's own eloquence.
Her voice was hoarse, and she was talking about her past, with exclamations in her words. With her voice, it seemed that a scroll of life that belonged to a woman named 'Sun Yiwen' was slowly unfolding in front of Yao Shouning.
Jingqing started from his own birth, and mentioned that he promised to be the wife of King Jian when he was young.
When she was a girl, she knew that the person she would marry in the future was a prince of the Daqing royal family, so she felt shy and looked forward to it.
When she was young, she followed her mother to study housekeeping and directorship, and she looked forward to marrying her husband and wife in the future, singing harmoniously, lovingly, bearing children for him, and taking care of the inside and outside of the palace.
Unexpectedly, after she got married, she realized that the prince she married was greedy and lustful, and he was just a rich man.
Not only did he linger in brothels and brothels, there were many concubines and common houses in his family, and he often used his identity to force many women into the mansion.
After Sun Yiwen got married, he learned that her husband was such a person. If he was struck by lightning, he regretted it too late.
"When I was not out of the cabinet, I was once praised by my elders, saying that I am knowledgeable and polite, and have a gentle disposition." The woman leaning on the bed just smiled when she said this:
"However, after marriage, I was forced to be cold, sharp, and crazy. Even when I recalled it myself, it was like being possessed by a demon."
At the beginning, she still had expectations for her husband, and she often persuaded and made noises, but nothing worked.
A gentle and kind woman, she gradually became grumpy and eccentric after marriage.
Later, she became discouraged and stopped trying to change King Jian.
At that time, King Jian harmed an unknown number of women. If it was because she was fascinated by the wealth and power of King Jian's mansion and willingly committed herself to him as a concubine, Princess Jian would turn a blind eye;
And if he robbed the women of the people and forced Liang to be his concubine, then she would rather bear the name of a shrew regardless of her personal reputation and image, and quarrel with him to force him not to destroy her innocence.
She gradually became vicious, from the beginning she couldn't speak loudly, and later she dared to put her hips on her hips and swear.
The incident was very violent, and King Jian thought she was annoying, so he restrained himself a little on the surface.
"I thought he was really restrained, but one night, I seemed to hear someone screaming and crying in my sleep."
Master Jingqing recalled what happened many years ago, with a calm tone and no expression of joy or anger.
"I woke up from the dream and asked the people around me. Everyone said they didn't hear it, and said I was just dreaming."
"The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, so I got up and went to Zhu Zhenbi's study."
When she said this, Yao Shouning vaguely felt that she might be talking about the terrible event that changed her fate with King Jian.
Master Jing Qing brushed her hair:
"The study room was completely dark. For some reason that night, the gatekeepers seemed to have fallen asleep. I broke in all the way, and no one stopped me."
This study is nominally owned by King Jian, but Zhu Zhenbi doesn't like reading, but Sun Yiwen loved books very much when he was young, and he couldn't put down the books, so he came here often, and he is very familiar with this place.
There are two floors in the study room, none of the lights are lit, and it is quiet inside, as if there is no sound.
Following her words, Yao Shouning gradually became a little nervous, as if through her tone, he could also see the scene 31 years ago - Princess Jian walked into a dark room with no lights, looking around.
"Zhu Zhenbi is just an idiot. It is impossible for him to come to the study to read books on weekdays. If he reads books, he will only be interested in erotic albums and so on. I touched the books in the room and they were all neatly arranged. They were all brand new. No one reads it."
She hooked the corner of her mouth and showed a smile:
"At that time, I thought I might be possessed by an evil spirit. How could such a person go to the study in the dead of night?"
But just as she turned to leave, she heard a slight voice from upstairs.
The voice was very soft, but in the silent darkness, it was very ear-piercing.
"I paused as I was about to leave, and when I heard the sound coming from the attic, I wanted to go up and have a look."
It's just that she is a woman after all, and she broke into the empty attic in the dead of night. Although she was curious when she heard the movement, she was inevitably a little uneasy.
"So I took advantage of the night to find a basket under the study, where I put an unfinished embroidery, which I put down when I came to read the book earlier," she said, seeing Yao Shouning's expression change. , as if he had guessed something, he added with a smile:
"There are needlework and embroidery in it, and a pair of scissors. I took it in my hand for self-defense."
Hearing this, Yao Shouning was so nervous that his palms sweated, and subconsciously reached out to touch Lu Zhi's arm, and grabbed him to strengthen his courage.
"I took the scissors and went upstairs quietly, fearing that people would find me."
The pavilion on the second floor is not as big as the first floor, and there is a small bed on it. In the past, when she was tired from studying, she would occasionally take a nap here.
But after she went up, she heard Zhu Zhenbi's voice:
"unlucky!"
The sound was muffled, as if it came from a sealed place.
There was no one in the attic, her face was pale, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
"I followed the sound and saw a wall of books. The sound came from behind the wall. I was scared and panicked at that time, and my hands were shaking so badly that I reached out and fumbled on the bookshelf."
Some books were pulled down by her, and they fell to the ground with a sound.
Zhu Zhenbi's alert voice came: "Who is outside!"
Needless to say the panic at that moment, Yao Shouning felt that his heart was in his throat.
"In the end, I found a very thick book, as if it was stuck to the bookshelf. When I turned it hard, I heard the bookcase turn, like a door, suddenly opened!"
When she said this, she paused for a moment.
"What did you see?"
Seeing her silence for a long time, Yao Shouning finally couldn't restrain himself and asked her a question.
"I saw ghosts."
Master Jingqing whispered with a smile. As soon as he said this, Yao Shouning was so frightened that he shrank behind Lu Zhi.
"Ugh……"
As for Jingqing, she felt sorry for scaring the children. She sighed and said softly:
"I saw a girl who was devastated, her head was bleeding, and she died in front of me."
The girl was extremely young, her face was immature, and she even looked younger than her grandson.
She was thrown onto a couch, her clothes were torn off, revealing her battered body, and dirty marks were left on the girl's skin that should have been as white as jade.
The girl's pupils widened, a hairpin pierced her neck, and blood splattered all over her body.
There was pain and confusion on her face, as if she was desperate and unwilling.
Jian Wang Zhu Zhenbi's face was covered with blood, and he was putting on his clothes when he saw his old wife suddenly appear with scissors in her hand.
He was naked, his body was slightly fat, his stomach was full, and his body was still dirty.
It looked like a ghost, exuding a rotten smell.
Sun Yiwen suddenly felt unspeakable nausea and disgust, resentment, anger and disgust rushed into his heart.
"What are you doing here!"
Zhu Zhenbi frowned and scolded, he had just had a good time, but the girl was humiliated and killed herself without knowing what to do, the blood splashed all over him, almost made him shrivel up in fright.
"It's really bad luck! The untouchables can't support the wall, and they don't know how to spend a fortune..."
When he saw his wife, although he was bored, he was not afraid, but cursed.
"At this moment, I saw the dead girl and 'sat' up from the couch."
She said that when she entered this secret room, the girl had died tragically.
So the person who 'sit' up at this time can't be a real girl. Only now did Yao Shouning understand what she meant by 'seeing a ghost', and he couldn't help feeling horrified.
Speaking of the past, Jingqing's demeanor was still calm, but his tone gradually trembled:
"Her face was full of resentment, blood was streaming down her face, she screamed and asked me..."
Her cheeks were trembling desperately, and a pair of skinny hands firmly grasped the bedding:
"She asked me, why didn't I save her?"
"She said that my husband took her into the house by force, took her virginity by force, and forced her to be a concubine."
"She asked me if I heard her screams, and if I knew that an innocent girl was in her most beautiful years, but she died in such an unbearable way in front of a filthy old man."
"She asked me, why can I sleep peacefully?"
"Why did I come so late? Why couldn't I come earlier?"
The blood gushed more and more from the girl's neck, gradually covering the entire secret room.
Sun Yiwen's pupils were shrouded in blood, and she was ashamed and speechless when faced with the girl's questioning.
Conscience and guilt tormented her. She watched a young life die, but she couldn't save it.
"At that moment, I understood that if a dog like Zhu Zhenbi was alive, many people would suffer from him."
Master Jingqing said with a smile:
"I can't save that girl, but I may be able to save more girls in the future!"
At that time, Princess Jian grasped the scissors tightly, stepped into the secret room, and cut off the lifeblood of Prince Jian.
……
The corner of Jingqing's mouth was smiling, and when she talked about castrating King Jian, her tone was calm, but tears flowed from her eyes.
"..."
Yao Shouning looked at the woman in front of him and was deeply shocked.
She didn't know what to say, the truth was completely opposite to her original guess.
When Zhu Hengrui mentioned the past deeds of Princess Jian, she actually secretly guessed whether Princess Jian was "jealous", but she did not expect such a relationship.
..............................................................................
I'm sorry, I'm going to upload a big chapter, so it's a bit late~!
Big change in [-]D, many more in one~~~
So it should not be updated tomorrow, I have to make some adjustments~!
But if she likes someone, then she has no way to talk about it!
Yao Shouning awakened the power of the Bianji clan. Before that, he heard the demon fox king talking nonsense, saying 'she was married to King Jian in a previous life'.
And Yao Shouning was very curious, he was not sure when he had inquired with Zhu Hengrui in private.
It is very possible that her mother told her all about King Jian's "beautiful" back then.
Most importantly, no matter what Lu Zhi thinks, the phrase 'cutting off the root of life' sounds too much like Zhu Hengrui's tone...
After a lot of guessing and thinking, he figured out the truth.
Thinking of this, Shi Zi became vigilant and quickly reminded Yao Shouning:
"You have to stay away from my mother in the future."
After he said this, Yao Shouning was a little puzzled:
"why?"
"Of course it's because..."
Yao Shouning's personality is innocent and lively, and very cute, while his mother is cruel and domineering. When the two get together, it's impossible to tell when Zhu Hengrui will lead him to ruin.
He thought of Yao Shouning's ferocious appearance wearing a warrior uniform and carrying a spear in his mind, and he couldn't help but get excited, and subconsciously said:
"I'm afraid she will take you..."
The son didn't notice it for a while, and was almost tricked by her to tell the truth. Fortunately, he woke up in time and shut up, saying:
"My mother's temperament is not easy to get along with, and since she was a child, she likes to wield knives and guns, and beat people when she disagrees."
"I don't think it's like..."
Yao Shouning stared at the back of Lu Zhi's head suspiciously, thinking that he was lying to him.
"Really!" Lu Zhi raised his voice, talking nonsense:
"She is getting close to you now because she treats you as her own, but do you know how my mother treats her as her own?"
Yao Shouning thought he was crazy, and didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.
The son said again:
"She likes to beat people. How did my mother beat me when I was bewitched that day?"
"..."
"Not only was I beaten, but my father was also beaten." He revealed again.
"..."
General Lu's tall and strong figure came to Yao Shouning's mind. It was really hard for her to imagine the serious Lu Wuji being beaten by the eldest princess...
"Stay away from her, don't be so stupid next time." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the hole, kicked his feet hard, and jumped out of the underground maze with Yao Shouning on his back:
"But don't worry, if my mother is vicious, you can find me quickly, I will help you..."
While the two were talking, they had already escaped.
The cold wind blew in, blowing away the stale air that the two of them had acquired in the underground labyrinth, making their minds much clearer in an instant.
Yao Shouning took a deep breath, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
Lu Zhi kicked the stone slab and barely covered the tunnel, when he heard the sound of messy footsteps in the distance, and an old woman shouted vigilantly:
"who?"
While talking, the door in the distance opened with a 'creak' sound. Lu Zhi raised his head with Yao Shouning behind his back, and saw an elderly woman holding the door panel vigilantly, staring at the two intruders with an unfriendly expression. .
Lu Zhi didn't answer, but turned his head and looked around.
This is a courtyard, the place is not very big, it looks a bit dilapidated.
A few clumps of bamboo were planted in the corner of the house, and a big tree was planted near the wall. In the cold winter months, the leaves of the trees were withered, and it looked a bit bleak.
There was a stone table and chair under the tree, but it was covered with moss, obviously no one had sat on it for a long time.
In the distance is a row of wing rooms, with ropes hanging outside, some clothes, dried vegetables, etc. are hung to dry, which is no different from ordinary houses.
The courtyard was cleaned fairly cleanly, but it was lifeless, not like a place where a royal princess lived.
Ever since the old King Jian harassed Yao Shouning, Lu Zhi had investigated the life of King Jian, and he also knew that his princess, who had disappeared many years ago, was in the inner city under the arrangement of the late Emperor after she severely injured King Jian. In the south of the Chenghuang Palace, they found a house and set it up as a nunnery for penance, but they didn't expect that the concubine's nunnery would be so miserable.
In fact, after he knew about this incident, he also considered visiting the living Princess Jian, hoping to find out the weakness of King Jian from her mouth, and take revenge in the future.
But because of time, before he had time to act, he met in this way tonight.
The son doesn't believe in cause and effect, but at this time he can't help thinking that it is a coincidence.
"We... um..."
He opened his mouth to speak, but Yao Shouning stretched out a hand to cover his mouth tightly.
Shizi's mouth is not flattering, Yao Shouning quarreled with him several times and said he could not win him, fearing that he would offend others and be driven away if he opened his mouth.
She didn't allow the son to speak, but she poked her head out from behind Lu Zhi, looked at the old woman pitifully and smiled:
"Auntie, we ran into trouble tonight. We got here by mistake when we lost our way. Now that we heard thunder and lightning, I'm afraid a thunderstorm is coming, so we want to rest here for a while."
As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of muffled thunder above the head, and the lightning flashed, revealing the appearance of the two.
Both Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning have a good temperament.
Although the two of them were in a mess and disheveled, but the man was tall and straight, and the girl had a soft and lovely voice, and now acting like a baby was so good that it was hard to refuse.
But that old woman was obviously different from ordinary people. She didn't let down her guard because of Yao Shouning's flattery and obedience. Instead, her eyes fell on the courtyard gate in the distance.
The gate of the courtyard was latched and had not been opened by anyone, but these two people suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhi's feet, she squinted her eyes, she could vaguely see the turned over soil, and couldn't help but feel more guarded.
The old woman did not agree, but her mind was full of confusion.
The sudden appearance of these two people seemed to crawl out of a secret passage underground, which made her heart sink.
The person who lives here is the old concubine who almost died in the hands of King Jian. After the accident, although the late emperor made the decision to save her life, King Jian hated his wife to the bone.
When the first emperor was around, the people in Prince Jian's residence did not dare to do anything blatantly.
After the death of the first emperor, Emperor Shenqi was selfish and indifferent, he didn't even care about his own relatives, so how could he care about an elder who was a generation away and who was not of the same branch?
Since then, the people of Prince Jian's mansion have been extremely harsh on this old concubine, cut off all her food and clothing, and even regarded the surviving concubine Jian as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. dead old wife.
Under such circumstances, when such a strange young man and woman suddenly appeared in the nunnery, the uneasiness in the old woman's heart was naturally magnified.
In the dead of night, the two people did not know where they came from.
There are only two elderly women in the room. If the other party is a strong man, how can the two of them resist?
"We are poor here, really..."
Before the old woman could say her refusal, she was suddenly interrupted by a coughing sound from inside the room, and then another old hoarse voice shouted:
"Ji Lan—"
As soon as the voice called, the old woman became anxious immediately, she didn't care about talking to Yao Shouning and the two, she turned her head and shouted:
"Really, please wait a moment."
"Ahem—is there a guest?" The old woman in the house didn't pay attention to her words, but asked.
The woman known as 'Ji Lan' showed helplessness, so she could only respond:
"Two people suddenly appeared in the yard..."
She didn't dare to speak too clearly, for fear that Lu Zhi would have malicious intentions.
Shi Zi looked tall and strong, and he came out of nowhere in the middle of the night. Even if he wasn't a villain, he might be in trouble.
The old woman hoped to use such vague words to send a message to Jingqing in the house so that she would stop asking.
Unexpectedly, when she said this, the real Jingqing in the room said:
"We are guests from afar, since they are all here, let's invite two guests to come in and have a seat."
Yao Shouning was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted Lu Zhi's shoulder, but that mother-in-law Ji Lan was a little reluctant, and said in a low voice:
"Really, these two people are very unfamiliar."
"It's okay, we two old ladies have nothing to live on, and the house is also impoverished. Apart from our two lives, what else is there to be worried about?"
Daoist Jingqing was not afraid, she coughed twice, and then her voice was panting:
"If it's really malicious, how can the two of us stop it?"
After she said this, Yao Shouning immediately answered:
"Don't worry, Auntie, we are really not bad people, we just want to borrow a place to stay temporarily."
The real Jingqing in the room had already spoken, and Granny Ji Lan also knew that she couldn't stop Yao Shouning and the two of them.
"Ugh--"
The old woman sighed, and the quiet person in the room spoke again:
"Cough...cough cough...let them in."
She was in a hurry, and when she spoke, she coughed piercingly, which made Grandma Jilan suspicious.
Since the former Princess Jian left the mansion to live alone, she seemed to see through many things, her temperament changed drastically, and she didn't care about worldly fame, status, wealth, etc. at all.
But tonight, she seemed to be a different person. When she heard that a 'guest' broke into the house, instead of avoiding it, she seemed to be very earnest, and even said a few words for Ji Lan to welcome him into the house.
Grandma Ji Lan was a little suspicious, but it was inconvenient for her not to listen to Master Jingqing's words, so she had no choice but to grab the door panel and pull it open with a 'creak' sound.
The dim light in the room leaked out like water, illuminating the courtyard, and her shadow was stretched extremely long by the light:
"Two guests, my real family welcomes you."
After she finished speaking, she sighed again:
"...We are just two lonely old women who have been rejected. We really have neither money nor use. If you have nothing to do, you should leave quickly..."
Yao Shouning understood the meaning of Granny Ji Lan's words, she looked at Lu Zhi with some embarrassment, stuck out her tongue, and thought: It seems that this old woman regards her and the prince as robbers who broke through the empty door.
Lu Zhi also heard her dislike, but he didn't take it seriously.
He is a self-confident man, and he has rarely suffered setbacks since he was a child. Even if he fled for his life and entered other people's courtyard at this time, he didn't take it seriously when he heard the disgust in other people's words. Instead, he swaggered into the house behind Yao Shouning's back. It's like going back to your own territory.
As soon as he entered the room, Yao Shouning felt his body gradually warming up.
Too many things happened tonight. After Chen Taiwei left, she walked in the underground labyrinth for an unknown amount of time. Not only was her body exhausted, but even her consciousness was almost exhausted.
In addition, her mind was tense, worried that Chen Taiwei would go and return, even when joking and joking with Shizi, she dared not completely let go of her guard.
Until now, when she entered the nunnery of Master Jingqing, she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood in her nose, which brought her a sense of tranquility and made her heave a long sigh of relief.
The girl patted Shizi on the shoulder, motioning him to put himself down.
Lu Zhi let go of his hand according to his words, and Yao Shouning's body slid to the ground. Once the two separated, they both felt a little cold.
Although Grandma Ji Lan said that these two uninvited guests were not welcome, after welcoming them into the house, she saw that these two people seemed to be quite young, with upright expressions, not like those rascals who had anything to do with Prince Jian's mansion. The worry was slightly relieved.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhi, and she saw that he was tall and straight, with a straight back, and he seemed to be very heroic.
It's just that the whole body seems to be painted, and there are many holes in the clothes, revealing the wounds inside.
The girl standing beside him looked young, with disheveled hair and dusty face, but those big eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Her heart was relieved, but she still went to the outside kitchen to fetch some hot water with a cold face:
"Wipe your face, don't disturb the real person."
After Yao Shouning thanked him, he soaked his cold little hands in hot water.
The hot water was extremely hot, and it quickly wrapped her palms, and a warmth was transmitted from her fingers to her limbs, making her feel relaxed.
She sighed, although she was reluctant to let go of the heat, she quickly twisted the veil and handed it to Lu Zhi:
"The prince wipes his face."
She is so considerate and well-behaved, looking up at him with a dirty little face and smiling, her eyes seem to contain brilliance, and she smiles faintly.
Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something in his heart was rapidly falling.
He took the steaming handkerchief over in a daze, saw her grinning from being burned, and shook his hands.
Yao Shouning's hands were so cold that they almost lost consciousness, but suddenly soaked in hot water, they were already flushed, and as she flicked them, a white mist spread.
"Auntie, we are..." She was talking to Granny Ji Lan.
'Bang bang bang!bang bang bang! '
Lu Zhi's heart was beating faster and faster at this moment. He spread the veil in silence, but he didn't wipe it off his face. Instead, he pulled Yao Shouning over to wipe her face.
"Eh!"
What Yao Shouning was about to say was interrupted by Lu Zhi, and the dust on her face was quickly wiped off by Shi Zi.
Lu Zhi didn't wait on people often, but he put his hands lightly, as if he was afraid of rubbing her and hurting her.
"Oh my lord, don't interrupt my conversation..."
She tilted her head and wanted to struggle, but Lu Zhi's hand was pressing on the back of her head, insisting on wiping off every filth on her face.
When she met Chen Taiwei, she should have cried. The tears she shed soaked the dust into two tear stains, which he wiped away one by one, watching the beautiful girl show her original face in front of him.
"..."
Witnessing this scene, Ji Lan's mother-in-law was too shocked to speak.
The girl who wiped away the dust is like a bright pearl, extraordinarily beautiful.
And the "prince son" she called it showed that Lu Zhi's background was not ordinary.
"Auntie," Yao Shouning couldn't push Lu Zhi's hand, so he had to let him wipe his face, taking advantage of the gap, he said to Granny Ji Lan:
"My surname is Yao, and my father is the commander of the North City Army and Horse Division."
She knew that Ji Lan's mother-in-law was uneasy about the arrival of the two, so in order to dispel the old man's fear, she took the lead in reporting her name.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Grandma Ji Lan's complexion changed drastically.
"Are you here for the affairs of Prince Jane's Mansion?"
People from Prince Jian's residence made a big fuss about Yao's family yesterday, and within a day, word spread in Shendu.
Some people watched the fun, some gossiped, and some despised the 90-year-old old prince for still not changing his greedy and lustful thoughts and flirting with a young girl who hadn't left the court.
Afterwards, I heard that the people from Prince Jian's mansion went crazy when they met the son of General Dingguo Shenwu's mansion, so they beat them up once.
The news spread very quickly, and even Granny Ji Lan, who was trapped here, heard some clues.
If there are other rumors, it has nothing to do with the two old people.
But it was King Jian who caused the trouble, and the identity of the person in the house is really sensitive...
Now that the sufferer who was harassed by King Jian came to the door, Grandma Ji Lan's face was a little ugly:
"If this is the case, you have found the wrong person!"
"no no!"
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Yao Shouning quickly shook his head.
She hated King Jian very much, but she clearly knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jing Qing, who had left Prince Jian's mansion back then.
"This is the eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion. Our coming tonight has nothing to do with the affairs of Prince Jian's Mansion, but..."
She stretched out her hand to press Shizi, and wanted to explain her intention seriously, but before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by the Jingqing real person in the room:
"The eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion? The young lady of the Yao family? But the second young lady?"
The old woman in the room seemed very excited when she heard the identities of the two.
After asking several questions one after another, the sound of "Xisuo" came, as if someone had lifted the quilt and was about to get up and get out of bed.
Jingqing's movement fell into the ears of several people outside. Grandma Ji Lan's expression changed slightly, with anxiety in her eyes, she strode into the room quickly, and then shouted eagerly:
"How can you get out of bed?"
"Shizi and Second Miss come in quickly!"
That real person Jingqing ignored Granny Ji Lan's words, but gasped twice and then shouted at the two people outside.
She hadn't gotten an answer to her previous question, but this real Jingqing seemed to be very sure of Yao Shouning's identity.
Yao Shouning glanced at Shizi in confusion, and he also frowned, a little puzzled.
But the call of the elders can't be delayed, especially this real Jingqing is very old and sick.
Thinking of this, Yao Shouning tugged on Lu Zhi's sleeve, motioning him to enter the room with him.
The prince wiped the veil she had wiped her face on his head and face indiscriminately a few times, and after roughly wiping his face, the two of them entered the room holding hands.
In the 'illusion', Yao Shouning had already seen the decorations in the house.
But when she really stepped into this wing room, an indescribable sense of shock still flooded her heart.
There is a simple cabinet in the room, the window is half open, and a blue and white porcelain vase is placed on the cabinet in front of the window, with a few plum blossoms inserted in it, emitting bursts of fragrance.
The blue curtain on the bed was held by copper hooks, and an old woman with a black forehead and a sickly face was sitting up with her hands on the porcelain pillow.
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
She coughed so hard that her body bowed like a frightened shrimp. At this moment, Grandma Ji Lan was reaching out to pat her on the back with a look of uneasiness and helplessness.
Anyone can see that the body of this old Jingqing real person is close to the state of oil and light, and I am afraid that the deadline is not far away.
Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, but did not speak.
After coughing for a while, Master Jingqing raised his head panting, but stared at the two standing not far away with a strange look.
"Unexpectedly, it really came...cough...cough cough..."
After finishing speaking, she actually waved at the two of them:
"Good boy, come here a little bit."
Her tone and demeanor were a little weird, as if she was not surprised by the arrival of Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi, but more like there was some inside story and secret in it.
Lu Zhi was wary, but he felt that the old woman in front of him didn't have any cultivation, and she didn't seem to be hostile, but this attitude was really strange.
However, he still pulled Yao Shouning behind him, and he followed his advice.
"princess……"
Grandma Ji Lan was also a little nervous, and subconsciously called out the identity of the real Jingqing back then.
In the past, if she yelled the wrong words, she would definitely be reprimanded by Master Jingqing, but at this time, Master Jingqing ignored her at all and looked at Lu Zhi obsessively.
"It turned out to be true, it turned out to be true...cough cough..."
She only knew to repeat these two sentences back and forth, and finally wanted to reach out and touch Lu Zhi.
The son's eyes were fixed, and he wanted to retreat subconsciously, but before he moved, Jingqing retracted his hand first, and turned to ask Granny Jilan:
"Ji Lan, Ji Lan, are they real people? Help me see if I'm hallucinating!"
Jingqing's strange performance not only aroused the curiosity of Yao Shouning and the two of them, but even Grandma Ji Lan was puzzled:
"Really, these two people are weird, and they suddenly appeared in our yard," she said, looking at the pair of young men and women with some embarrassment, and then whispering in Jingqing's ear:
"One is surnamed Yao, and the other is said to be the eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion..."
She muttered softly:
"I doubt it. I'm afraid it's because of King Jian's affairs."
When talking about King Jian, this mother-in-law Ji Lan had a look of disgust on her face.
In fact, if Yao Shouning and the two of them hadn't come here tonight, they would probably have troubled Master Jingqing. In fact, she felt very sympathetic to Second Miss Yao who unfortunately fell in love with that old thief King Jian.
The girl is still very young, like a flower bud that is just about to bloom, yet that old bastard King Jian is so shameless.
Grandma Ji Lan's voice was very soft, but among the few people here, the eldest son possesses martial arts skills and outstanding hearing.
And the power of Yao Shouning's blood was activated, and his five senses were also extraordinary.
Both of them heard Granny Ji Lan's words clearly, and before they had time to defend themselves, the first person to speak was Jingqing Daoist:
"No no no."
She shook her head quickly, interrupting Granny Ji Lan's guess:
"They didn't come here for King Jian's business."
On the face of this terminally ill old man who seemed to be dying, a long-cherished wish finally came true:
"They're here to..."
Before she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes:
"Ji Lan, these two little guests must be hungry and tired after walking all the way, so please come and prepare some snacks and tea for them."
"princess……"
Ji Lan was a little flustered, but Master Jingqing shook her head, and said with a faint smile:
"You're wrong again. I'm no longer a princess. I'm just a widowed practitioner."
She ordered softly:
"Don't make a fuss, quietly prepare some food and come in. I have something to tell these two little guests, don't worry, they didn't come here for the affairs of Prince Jian's mansion, and they won't do me any harm."
After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Yao Shouning:
"Second Miss Yao, right?"
"……Correct."
Yao Shouning hesitated to agree, feeling a little strange.
Obviously she is a member of the Bianji clan, and she is also the one who has the ability to predict, but everything that happened tonight is a bit weird.
This elderly woman seemed to have guessed her and Lu Zhi's identities long ago, as well as the purpose of their visit, and she was not curious or panicked about their arrival, but gave Yao Shouning a sense that everything had been expected by her. In general, it is very strange.
Grandma Jilan was still a little worried, but Master Jingqing was unquestionable, and sent her away with a rare tough attitude.
After they left, she coughed twice, then waved to them:
"Do you two have a lot of questions in your mind?"
She squeezed a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and stared at the two with a smile in her eyes.
"Correct."
Lu Zhi responded very simply, and asked out the doubts in his heart one by one:
"You seem to know who we are, and you seem to have expected us to come."
That's how Jingqing felt to him, but how could this be possible?
Possessing the power of foresight is a gift from heaven to the Bianji clan, so how could Daoist Jingqing know this?
Could it be that she is also a descendant of the Bianji clan?
impossible!
As soon as this idea flooded into Lu Zhi's mind, he was immediately denied by himself.
"The prince is right."
Lu Zhi originally thought that the former Princess Jian might not be able to answer his question, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the elder nodded:
"I know who you are, and I know you will come."
As soon as she said this, Lu Zhi's expression changed slightly.
He held Yao Shouning's hand tightly, guessing in his heart whether the old concubine had colluded with Chen Taiwei and deliberately set up an ambush here...
When I was thinking wildly in my heart, I heard Master Jingqing sigh again:
"But I just know that you will come sooner or later, but I don't know that you will come tonight."
What does this mean?
Yao Shouning was a little puzzled and looked up at Shizi, but he saw that his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was full of guard, looking at Master Jingqing.
"Ugh……"
Master Jingqing sighed, and before he could finish his sigh, he coughed crazily again.
When Yao Shouning heard that she was out of breath, he felt panicked, deeply afraid that this Jingqing real person would cough too much and die in front of the two of them.
"Renren, you, would you like to drink some water to moisten your throat..." She asked timidly, making Jingqing a faint smile.
In the mouth of the eldest princess Zhu Hengrui, she was the sturdy princess who once dissatisfied with her husband's lust and lust and cut off King Jian's life in a fit of anger.
But at this moment, she was smiling all over her face, and even though she was sick, she still cleaned up very decently, and did not allow herself to show a weak and slovenly image.
From her gestures, it can be seen that her good cultivation, as well as her gentle and kind personality, made it difficult for Yao Shouning to connect her with the rumored Princess Jian for a while.
"Good boy, listen to me."
She pointed to the stool next to the table in the room, motioning for the two to sit down.
Everything that happened tonight was so bizarre that Yao Shouning always felt that after he and Lu Zhi broke into this small courtyard, they might be able to find out some big secrets from the mouth of this true Jingqing.
She was curious, and immediately helped Master Jingqing back to the bed, and was about to turn around to move the stool, but saw that Lu Zhi had already taken the stool, and she and Lu Zhi sat down on Master Jingqing obediently in front of.
The old woman pulled the quilt to block her skinny body, and then said:
"My identity, you come here, you must understand, right?"
Yao Shouning nodded:
"You cut off King Jane's life back then..."
She blurted out what the eldest princess said, and realized that her words were too offensive.
But the former Princess Jian didn't blame her, instead she pursed her lips and smiled, as if lost in memory:
"Yeah...Thirty-one years have passed..."
Her eyes gradually blurred, and she said:
"Everything is like a dream..."
Speaking of this, Master Jingqing smiled and nodded slightly at the two of them:
"I don't have many guests here, and some things have been hidden in my heart for many years. I hope the two little guests don't think I'm nagging, and let me tell you one by one."
Yao Shouning nodded heavily.
She likes listening to stories, especially listening to such a legendary figure tell her own story, which is much more interesting than listening to books or reading scripts.
Lu Zhi's reaction was different from hers. Although he was sitting here, he had already let go of his spiritual power to prevent danger from coming.
"I was born in the Sun family in Hezhong, and I am the eldest daughter of the family..."
Master Jingqing talked about her background, but Yao Shouning got a rough idea of her identity from Lu Zhi.
But Lu Zhi's brief words at that time were far inferior to that of Jingqing's own eloquence.
Her voice was hoarse, and she was talking about her past, with exclamations in her words. With her voice, it seemed that a scroll of life that belonged to a woman named 'Sun Yiwen' was slowly unfolding in front of Yao Shouning.
Jingqing started from his own birth, and mentioned that he promised to be the wife of King Jian when he was young.
When she was a girl, she knew that the person she would marry in the future was a prince of the Daqing royal family, so she felt shy and looked forward to it.
When she was young, she followed her mother to study housekeeping and directorship, and she looked forward to marrying her husband and wife in the future, singing harmoniously, lovingly, bearing children for him, and taking care of the inside and outside of the palace.
Unexpectedly, after she got married, she realized that the prince she married was greedy and lustful, and he was just a rich man.
Not only did he linger in brothels and brothels, there were many concubines and common houses in his family, and he often used his identity to force many women into the mansion.
After Sun Yiwen got married, he learned that her husband was such a person. If he was struck by lightning, he regretted it too late.
"When I was not out of the cabinet, I was once praised by my elders, saying that I am knowledgeable and polite, and have a gentle disposition." The woman leaning on the bed just smiled when she said this:
"However, after marriage, I was forced to be cold, sharp, and crazy. Even when I recalled it myself, it was like being possessed by a demon."
At the beginning, she still had expectations for her husband, and she often persuaded and made noises, but nothing worked.
A gentle and kind woman, she gradually became grumpy and eccentric after marriage.
Later, she became discouraged and stopped trying to change King Jian.
At that time, King Jian harmed an unknown number of women. If it was because she was fascinated by the wealth and power of King Jian's mansion and willingly committed herself to him as a concubine, Princess Jian would turn a blind eye;
And if he robbed the women of the people and forced Liang to be his concubine, then she would rather bear the name of a shrew regardless of her personal reputation and image, and quarrel with him to force him not to destroy her innocence.
She gradually became vicious, from the beginning she couldn't speak loudly, and later she dared to put her hips on her hips and swear.
The incident was very violent, and King Jian thought she was annoying, so he restrained himself a little on the surface.
"I thought he was really restrained, but one night, I seemed to hear someone screaming and crying in my sleep."
Master Jingqing recalled what happened many years ago, with a calm tone and no expression of joy or anger.
"I woke up from the dream and asked the people around me. Everyone said they didn't hear it, and said I was just dreaming."
"The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, so I got up and went to Zhu Zhenbi's study."
When she said this, Yao Shouning vaguely felt that she might be talking about the terrible event that changed her fate with King Jian.
Master Jing Qing brushed her hair:
"The study room was completely dark. For some reason that night, the gatekeepers seemed to have fallen asleep. I broke in all the way, and no one stopped me."
This study is nominally owned by King Jian, but Zhu Zhenbi doesn't like reading, but Sun Yiwen loved books very much when he was young, and he couldn't put down the books, so he came here often, and he is very familiar with this place.
There are two floors in the study room, none of the lights are lit, and it is quiet inside, as if there is no sound.
Following her words, Yao Shouning gradually became a little nervous, as if through her tone, he could also see the scene 31 years ago - Princess Jian walked into a dark room with no lights, looking around.
"Zhu Zhenbi is just an idiot. It is impossible for him to come to the study to read books on weekdays. If he reads books, he will only be interested in erotic albums and so on. I touched the books in the room and they were all neatly arranged. They were all brand new. No one reads it."
She hooked the corner of her mouth and showed a smile:
"At that time, I thought I might be possessed by an evil spirit. How could such a person go to the study in the dead of night?"
But just as she turned to leave, she heard a slight voice from upstairs.
The voice was very soft, but in the silent darkness, it was very ear-piercing.
"I paused as I was about to leave, and when I heard the sound coming from the attic, I wanted to go up and have a look."
It's just that she is a woman after all, and she broke into the empty attic in the dead of night. Although she was curious when she heard the movement, she was inevitably a little uneasy.
"So I took advantage of the night to find a basket under the study, where I put an unfinished embroidery, which I put down when I came to read the book earlier," she said, seeing Yao Shouning's expression change. , as if he had guessed something, he added with a smile:
"There are needlework and embroidery in it, and a pair of scissors. I took it in my hand for self-defense."
Hearing this, Yao Shouning was so nervous that his palms sweated, and subconsciously reached out to touch Lu Zhi's arm, and grabbed him to strengthen his courage.
"I took the scissors and went upstairs quietly, fearing that people would find me."
The pavilion on the second floor is not as big as the first floor, and there is a small bed on it. In the past, when she was tired from studying, she would occasionally take a nap here.
But after she went up, she heard Zhu Zhenbi's voice:
"unlucky!"
The sound was muffled, as if it came from a sealed place.
There was no one in the attic, her face was pale, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
"I followed the sound and saw a wall of books. The sound came from behind the wall. I was scared and panicked at that time, and my hands were shaking so badly that I reached out and fumbled on the bookshelf."
Some books were pulled down by her, and they fell to the ground with a sound.
Zhu Zhenbi's alert voice came: "Who is outside!"
Needless to say the panic at that moment, Yao Shouning felt that his heart was in his throat.
"In the end, I found a very thick book, as if it was stuck to the bookshelf. When I turned it hard, I heard the bookcase turn, like a door, suddenly opened!"
When she said this, she paused for a moment.
"What did you see?"
Seeing her silence for a long time, Yao Shouning finally couldn't restrain himself and asked her a question.
"I saw ghosts."
Master Jingqing whispered with a smile. As soon as he said this, Yao Shouning was so frightened that he shrank behind Lu Zhi.
"Ugh……"
As for Jingqing, she felt sorry for scaring the children. She sighed and said softly:
"I saw a girl who was devastated, her head was bleeding, and she died in front of me."
The girl was extremely young, her face was immature, and she even looked younger than her grandson.
She was thrown onto a couch, her clothes were torn off, revealing her battered body, and dirty marks were left on the girl's skin that should have been as white as jade.
The girl's pupils widened, a hairpin pierced her neck, and blood splattered all over her body.
There was pain and confusion on her face, as if she was desperate and unwilling.
Jian Wang Zhu Zhenbi's face was covered with blood, and he was putting on his clothes when he saw his old wife suddenly appear with scissors in her hand.
He was naked, his body was slightly fat, his stomach was full, and his body was still dirty.
It looked like a ghost, exuding a rotten smell.
Sun Yiwen suddenly felt unspeakable nausea and disgust, resentment, anger and disgust rushed into his heart.
"What are you doing here!"
Zhu Zhenbi frowned and scolded, he had just had a good time, but the girl was humiliated and killed herself without knowing what to do, the blood splashed all over him, almost made him shrivel up in fright.
"It's really bad luck! The untouchables can't support the wall, and they don't know how to spend a fortune..."
When he saw his wife, although he was bored, he was not afraid, but cursed.
"At this moment, I saw the dead girl and 'sat' up from the couch."
She said that when she entered this secret room, the girl had died tragically.
So the person who 'sit' up at this time can't be a real girl. Only now did Yao Shouning understand what she meant by 'seeing a ghost', and he couldn't help feeling horrified.
Speaking of the past, Jingqing's demeanor was still calm, but his tone gradually trembled:
"Her face was full of resentment, blood was streaming down her face, she screamed and asked me..."
Her cheeks were trembling desperately, and a pair of skinny hands firmly grasped the bedding:
"She asked me, why didn't I save her?"
"She said that my husband took her into the house by force, took her virginity by force, and forced her to be a concubine."
"She asked me if I heard her screams, and if I knew that an innocent girl was in her most beautiful years, but she died in such an unbearable way in front of a filthy old man."
"She asked me, why can I sleep peacefully?"
"Why did I come so late? Why couldn't I come earlier?"
The blood gushed more and more from the girl's neck, gradually covering the entire secret room.
Sun Yiwen's pupils were shrouded in blood, and she was ashamed and speechless when faced with the girl's questioning.
Conscience and guilt tormented her. She watched a young life die, but she couldn't save it.
"At that moment, I understood that if a dog like Zhu Zhenbi was alive, many people would suffer from him."
Master Jingqing said with a smile:
"I can't save that girl, but I may be able to save more girls in the future!"
At that time, Princess Jian grasped the scissors tightly, stepped into the secret room, and cut off the lifeblood of Prince Jian.
……
The corner of Jingqing's mouth was smiling, and when she talked about castrating King Jian, her tone was calm, but tears flowed from her eyes.
"..."
Yao Shouning looked at the woman in front of him and was deeply shocked.
She didn't know what to say, the truth was completely opposite to her original guess.
When Zhu Hengrui mentioned the past deeds of Princess Jian, she actually secretly guessed whether Princess Jian was "jealous", but she did not expect such a relationship.
