Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 19 Trading
"My lord." Hearing Chu Yue's voice, Li Shang immediately dragged his weak body to the ground.

Accompanied by a series of footsteps, Chu Yue had brought a team of guards to the prison gate. He glanced at the two people in the prison, and then said to Li Shang: "I didn't believe that you would betray me, but now It seems that you really have colluded."

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang explained for Li Shang: "I used him, he didn't betray you."

"If you just want to use him, why bother to save him?" Chu Yue asked.

"I just don't want to hurt others. If Li Shang really wanted to betray you, lord, then he could leave with me, but he still stays when he knows he is going to die, which shows how loyal he is to you." Lin Zijiang continued to explain for Li Shang.

But Chu Yue remained unmoved: "So what about loyalty, as the commander of the palace's guards, he is so stupid that he was deceived by you, he is still going to die."

"You..." Lin Zijiang was really at a loss for his logic, "You are simply unreasonable..."

However, Chu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But you caused all of this."

"That's right, I'm sorry for him." Lin Zijiang lowered her head and said, then she raised her head with determination and said, "So I will definitely save him."

"It's a joke. Whoever this king wants to kill must die." Chu Yue asked with contempt in his tone, "What's more, what will you do to save him?"

Lin Zijiang said thoughtfully: "I want to make a deal with you, in exchange for his life and mine."

"You have nothing now, what are you going to trade with me?" Chu Yue said disdainfully, as a prince, does he want anything.

"Just take myself."

Chu Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, then he sneered and said, "You are too confident, what kind of beauties does my lord want, not to mention your virtue."

Lin Zijiang also sneered and said, "I misunderstood the prince. I thought you were so different. I didn't expect that you were just like the men in the market. They only liked the appearance of women. Then the prince can hug you." Be warm, fragrant and warm for life."

"You dare to satirize me." Chu Yue's voice was tinged with anger.

"Don't dare." Lin Zijiang said solemnly: "The prince has also seen it. I can break into the dungeon of the prince's mansion alone to save people, at least it is not completely useless. I am willing to be loyal to the prince from now on and do my best for the great cause of the prince. "Although Lin Zijiang hasn't had much contact with Chu Yue since she entered the palace, she can see that there are many things hidden in Chu Yue's eyes like cold stars.Moreover, he hid his joy and anger in his heart like this, presumably following the principle of "those who achieve great things must have calmness".

Hearing this, Chu Yue looked at Lin Zijiang with sharper eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then said to the left and right: "You all step back."

Hearing this, the group of guards behind him immediately walked over to set up Li Shang.And Li Shang looked at Lin Zijiang with some worry, and then went out with the group of people.

There were only two people left in the entire dungeon, and Lin Zijiang could even hear Chu Yue's breathing clearly, and only heard him say: "You dare to speculate about this king, it seems that you don't want to leave here alive."

"I don't dare to speculate. It's just that the prince doesn't plan, so I'm afraid he can't be alone." Lin Zijiang said, "The prince Suwen uses soldiers like a god. He is known as the 'War King', and now he controls half of the entire Chu State's military strength. The lord is smart, so he must understand the principle of high meritorious deeds." Lin Zijiang listened to all these things about Chuyue with a smile, and that girl liked to brag about how capable King Yue was in front of her when she was free.

Hearing this, a murderous look flashed in Chu Yue's eyes, and he slapped Lin Zijiang's chest with his palm.Lin Zijiang also sensed the danger, and used the iron chain in "Broken Blade" to wrap around Chu Yue's right hand that was attacking her.But she didn't expect one thing, that is, people in ancient times really had inner strength.

She only felt a shock in her chest, and her whole body flew backward a few meters, hit the wall of the dungeon and fell back to the ground.Immediately, his throat became fishy, ​​and he spit out a mouthful of blood.It's just that the iron chain she used was also under the pressure of pulling back, leaving several bloodstains on Chu Yue's arm.

Only then did Chu Yue realize that his arm was injured, but he ignored the bleeding arm, and went straight to Lin Zijiang, took off the "broken blade" that hurt him from her hand, held it in his hand and asked: "This is the hidden weapon that can send out poisonous needles and make several of my guards fall to the ground?"

Lin Zijiang didn't have the strength to stand up, she felt as if her internal organs had been shattered, and even breathing hurt.She gritted her teeth and said, "That's not a poisonous needle, it's just an anesthesia needle. They will wake up soon."

"How did you get this thing?" Chu Yue asked while looking at the "Broken Blade" in his hand.

"I did it myself..." Lin Zijiang said, blood sprang from his throat again.

Hearing that Chu Yue was thoughtful, this woman could analyze his situation in the previous court just based on some examples.Being able to make these rare weapons is indeed different, if you can use them for yourself, maybe you can really help him.So he tentatively said: "Don't you want to be free? How could you be willing to stay in the palace to plan for the king?"

"I don't dare to lie to my lord, I really want to be free, so I hope that my lord can abide by the previous agreement and let me go after three years... But I believe that three years is enough time for my lord to make things happen..." Lin Zijiang tried his best to prop himself up and said .

"Are you really confident that you can help me achieve great things in three years?" Chu Yue asked.

"It's not me, I just have confidence in the lord... Please also believe in my sincerity..."

Chu Yue seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Zijiang's answer, and immediately said: "Okay, then from today onwards, you are my king's man. If you sincerely do things for this king, then this king will not treat you badly, and you will definitely be my king after three years. I set you free."

"Yes." Lin Zijiang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Chu Yue's face changed and he said: "But if this king finds out that you have a different heart, then this king will definitely make you pay a heavy price."

"Don't worry, my lord, since it is what I promised, I will definitely do it." Lin Zijiang promised.

"It's just that you broke into the dungeon today and shocked the entire palace, and you also exposed your appearance to others. It's very important to think about the identity of the princess." Chu Yue thought for a while and then said: "From tomorrow on, you will be the king's personal servant." Maid."

Lin Zijiang also knew that Chu Yue placed her in Wutong Garden because he didn't want others to know that his concubine was an ugly woman.But today's own appearance has been seen by so many people, it must not be long before it will spread throughout the palace, and I can't hide it if I think about it, so simply changing her identity can save face for the time being.But for Lin Zijiang, being a maid who can move freely in the palace is better than being an imprisoned princess, so she readily accepted and said, "Yes."

"In that case, you go back first." Chu Yue ordered.

"But Li Shang?" Lin Zijiang asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, what the king promised will definitely be done." Chu Yue replied.

Hearing what he said, Lin Zijiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he saved Li Shang's life.It's just that in the future, by Chu Yue's side, it will be even more like walking on eggshells.

It was night, and the study in the southeast corner of Yue Wangfu was as dark as usual.

But with the moonlight shining in through the window paper, two dark shadows in the room can be vaguely seen.

"You should take good care of your wounds these few days." Chu Yue said coldly.

"Yes." Li Shang's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say: "Princess...she just wants to escape from the palace...she has a pure heart, the prince really doesn't have to worry about her..."

"This is the first time this king has heard you speak for others." Chu Yue's voice became colder, "This king also hopes that it will be... the last time."

"Subordinates dare not." Li Shang's voice trembled.

"You go down first."

"Yes, this subordinate will leave." Li Shang staggered to his feet.

After Li Shang left, Chu Yue still sat there, not moving for a long time.His eyes were fixed on the note on the desk in front of him, and it was written crookedly: "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

This is the note in the envelope that Lin Zijiang handed to Li Shang before. She originally planned that Li Shang would not be able to find her so-called nanny at that time, so she would see this note and count it as her apology.But she didn't expect that Li Shang actually handed over the letter to Chu Yue after changing hands. All of this today was just a test for her by Chu Yue. If she hadn't discovered that she could be used by him, Lin Zijiang might not be able to get out of the dungeon in his life. .
