Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 293 Letter from the Princess Concubine

cold, so cold...

So dark, so dark...

Cui Wenxiao curled up and nestled on the floor, the blood from his mouth stained his front, but at this time the blood had already dried up.He wanted to fumble to get up, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't seem to move.

What's going on here?
In a trance, Cui Wenxiao seemed to have returned to the capital, to his own courtyard, under the peach blossom tree, the bright smiling man in pink stretched out his hand to catch the fluttering and falling peach petals, and then smiled as if stretching out his own hand. Out of both hands.

"Don't be afraid, come, come here..." Cui Wenxiao's soft tone reached Cui Wenxiao's ears, and the smiling woman wanted to hold his hand, but before she could take a step forward, the woman in front of her His figure suddenly became taller, and his ferocious face instantly resembled Situ Lei.

"Ah...!" With a scream, Cui Wenxiao suddenly woke up from the dream, and everything strange in front of her made her mind go blank for a moment.

Where is this...

Cui Wenxiao frowned, but his beaten body seemed to be falling apart, and he couldn't move even a slight lifting of his fingers, in Cui Wenxiao's view, it was as difficult as reaching heaven.

Panting heavily, Cui Wenxiao turned his head with all his strength, glanced at the furnishings in the room, and then remembered that this was his sleeping room, the sleeping room in Xiangyang Mansion.

The memories of last night flooded into her mind instantly like a tide, devouring her without leaving a trace.That nightmare-like torture made her unable to forget.

"Concubine Shizi, are you awake?" The little maid's call suddenly came from outside, breaking Cui Wenxiao's memory.

Cui Wenxiao froze for a moment, and wanted to speak, but in the end he just shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

The little girl looked at Cui Wenxiao worriedly, and said, "It's been [-] o'clock, you are unconscious this time, it's a little..."

Cui Wenxiao naturally knew what he didn't say.Seeing the distressed expression on the girl's face, Cui Wenxiao laughed at himself: "This time, the prince is too angry."

The people in the mansion know exactly what kind of temper Situ Lei has.It's just a pity that the nominal imperial concubine in front of her has to be treated so inhumanly while she only guards her status.Even if she didn't have a deep master-servant relationship, the little maid felt that Cui Wenxiao was really pitiful.

It's really a trick of fate.

"Go and get the ointment. If there is a scar on this wound, it will be really bad." Cui Wenxiao didn't want to see the sympathetic expression on the girl's face anymore, closed his eyes and ordered softly.

The girl nodded, then turned and left in response.

After the girl left, Cui Wenxiao opened his eyes again. The eyes that were originally full of aura were only hollow and numb, and could no longer find any vitality.

Sin karma, sin fruit, really is retribution.

Tears finally fell down uncontrollably.With tears in his eyes, Cui Wenxiao only hoped that Xie Zi'an could get through this difficulty without incident. His situation was already difficult to protect himself, and he had no other ability to help him.

At this time, Xie Zi'an, who was quietly hiding in Xiangyang City, naturally did not know what happened in Xiangyang Mansion, only to see that Mr. Jia, who was originally handsome, disguised himself as a wandering old man, struggling with his back and a thick crutch Walking, coughing while walking made passers-by avoid him, for fear that the old man might infect him with some disease.Xie Zian also hid safely in Xiangyang City with this appearance.

It's just that the city seems to have strengthened its security, and it is really difficult to run out to find Xuanyuan Jue's whereabouts.

Xie Zian walked all the way with his head bowed, but his ears were keenly listening to the news from all directions.In the end, his eyes rolled and he had an idea.

I saw a three-storey teahouse standing on the street where people come and go, and the teahouse is also full of guests, whether they are storytellers or those who travel to and from the rivers and lakes, they will rest in this teahouse.

So for Xie Zi'an, this is the place with the best news in Xiangyang City.

Looking for a place to sit down, Xie Zian restrained himself a little, and curled himself up. He really looked like an old man, with dust on his messy hair. Xie Zian couldn't help but lower his head, and listened. Conversation with the table closest to you.

"Hey, hey, have you heard that His Royal Highness King Jing in the capital has been quietly imprisoned by our son!" Sure enough, the people at the table closest to Xie Zi'an discussed this topic, and Xie Zi'an held his breath and listened quietly. , barely audible.

"Tsk, since it's already quiet, how do you know?" The man sitting on the south side of the square table said disdainfully, his eyes full of disbelief, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing is very skilled in martial arts and resourceful, how can he do that?" Just got arrested?"

"Hey, you still don't believe me?" The person who spoke just now couldn't hold back his face, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the few people sitting around him, and continued to say mysteriously: "We are in Xiangyang Mansion, but there are people."

"Hey, I'm talking nonsense again, I don't believe a single word of what you said." The man in the south seat said again, "It doesn't matter whether he loves you or not, let's have tea. "

After hearing this, everyone just laughed, and put the matter behind them and stopped talking about it.

Xie Zian frowned, originally wanted to hear some useful news, but didn't want to get nothing.Just when he was about to get up and leave, Xie Zian saw patrolling guards approaching from a long distance away. He was startled, covered his palms and pretended to be coughing, and went into an alley beside him.

At this time, Xie Zian probably never thought that when he was running around, Xie Wanqing and his party lived in a small town only twenty miles away from him.

"Miss, are you awake?" Lingshu had just opened the door and walked into the room, when she saw Xie Wanqing slightly opening her eyes and looking out the window, she couldn't help feeling a little bit relieved in her heart, and walked towards Xie Wanqing.

Speaking of Xie Wanqing's illness, the three of Lingshu almost frightened to death when she came.Fortunately, nothing happened that night, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Lingshu, open the window to let in some air." Xie Wanqing sat up with her arms propped up. Although her body was still a little weak, her spirit was much better.

"No, no, no, the northern border is no better than the capital city. The wind and sand outside is too strong, miss, you can't see the wind at this time." Lingshu shook his head hastily when he heard this, and only opened a small gap in the window, and then closed it after some cool wind came in. up.

"..." Xie Wanqing was a little helpless, but she also knew that Lingshu was stubborn, so she had to give up the idea of ​​opening the window, and said, "You are really a worrying life. I am a little hungry, go to those places and eat."

When Lingshu heard that Xie Wanqing was hungry, he couldn't help showing joy on his face, and said: "Finally, I can eat something, and it's getting better soon. This servant will go now."

After speaking, he opened the door with cheerful steps and went out.

Xie Wanqing couldn't help laughing, seeing how the girl opened the door and went out, she felt a little more comfort in her heart.Compared with the restlessness of the previous few days, Xie Wanqing was much calmer now.

But every time she remembered that Xuanyuan Jue was in Xiangyang City, which was less than twenty miles away, she felt a little more firm in her heart.

No matter what the method was, even if it cost her Xie Wanqing's life, she would definitely be able to keep Xuanyuan Jue safe and sound.

"The medicine is here, Miss should take the medicine first." Xie Wanqing was in a daze when Su Wen opened the door and came in. Su Wen knew what she was thinking in her heart, so she only spoke softly to break the silence.

Su Wen's words brought Xie Wanqing back to reality, she looked down at the dark medicine bowl, Xie Wanqing frowned, "Can I stop drinking?"

When Su Wen heard the words, he just smiled.Undoubtedly, he handed the medicine bowl to Xie Wanqing, and said softly, "What do you think?"

Although it is only four words that are light and fluffy, it is full of firmness.Xie Wanqing felt that as long as she dared to say the word "no drinking", Su Wen could immediately prick her whole body with acupuncture.

Thinking of such consequences, Xie Wanqing decisively took the medicine bowl from Su Wen's hand, gulped it down like a strong man breaking his wrist, and immediately stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, her expression distorted instantly due to the alternate feeling of crying and sweetness stand up.

"Hey..." Su Wen sighed helplessly, took the medicine bowl from her hand, and said, "If you recover well, you don't have to drink this medicine every day, whichever is more cost-effective, you can figure it out."

"..." Xie Wanqing was choked for the second time today, and she suddenly felt that the girls had grown up and didn't take her words to heart.

With such a mood, Xie Wanqing watched Lingshu and Suwen with almost sad eyes until late at night.The latter two selectively ignored Xie Wanqing's eyes, which immediately made her even more sad.

The girls really grew up.Xie Wanqing sighed in her heart.

After nightfall, the four people in the house turned off the lights and were about to fall asleep, when suddenly a black shadow rushed past the window, breaking the peace in the house.

Akabane was startled awake immediately, he stood up and pushed the window with a leap, and easily subdued the person outside the room with only three strokes, and threw the person into the room with one push.

Lingshu hastily turned on the lights to re-light the room, Xie Wanqing was also awakened, leaning on the side of the bed, looking down at the man in black kneeling below.

The grade is not very old, but he was dressed in black in the middle of the night, and he probably came to them on purpose.

"Where did you come from, that little thief is quite courageous." Lingshu stretched out his hand and pulled out his saber, pressing the cold tip of the sword against the man's throat, and asked in a low voice.

I saw that person looking around, but in the end he set his eyes on Xie Wanqing, and said with full sincerity, "Princess Jing, this subordinate is entrusted by the concubine, and came here specially to give You delivered the letter because it was very inconvenient during the day, so you only visited in the middle of the night, please forgive me, Princess Jing!"

"What did you say?!" Xie Wanqing looked at the man in black in surprise, not knowing how to react.

The concubine, could it be Wen Xiao? !
