Chapter 157(1/4)
Prison for 157 days
“…”
Yingying escaped from the palace not for fun. Her original purpose was to find Gu Lingxiao.
There were too many things that happened this year. In a short period of time, she married Qin Rong and became his crown princess. Then her brother got married. She killed the so-called sister-in-law Qiu An'an, and then was cut off by Qin Rong and imprisoned in the East Palace. At the same time, her aunt was also sent to the cold palace to commit suicide.
Not long ago, Emperor Wucheng was seriously ill and bedridden. When Qin Rong was controlling the government, the Prime Minister Kong Wei of the current dynasty also triggered a palace change.
Yingying hasn't seen Gu Lingxiao for a long time. She remembers the last time she saw Gu Lingxiao was in this palace transformation.
Blood flowed into a river in the palace, and corpses were piled up everywhere.
Yingying didn't know what was going on. She only heard shouts from outside when she was nestling in the East Palace. She didn't pay attention to it until she heard someone shouting "General Gu". She guessed that General Gu was referring to Gu Lingxiao.
She escaped from the East Palace without any defense. Yingying just wanted to see her brother, but she never thought that the war outside was not over. She was almost caught by the rebels.
It was at that time that Qin Rongwen stood on the palace wall and shot a sharp arrow. The tip of the arrow rubbed her hair and shot the eyebrows of the rebels behind her. Yingying fell to the ground and was at a loss. It was Gu Lingxiao who repelled the rebels around her and pulled her from the ground to a safe place.
Yingying thought, her brother would love her after all.
Otherwise, he would not have paid attention to her movements during the war, nor would he deliberately ask his confidants to help her up and protect her by his side.
So when the rebels surrendered, Yingying ran to Gu Lingxiao happily. She wanted to grab his sleeve and call him sweetly, saying that he would hug him at this time and tell her not to be afraid, he would always protect her.
The human heart is really something that is difficult to guess.
Yingying did not catch Gu Lingxiao's hand as she wished, and was stopped by his servants before she could get close.
Listening to her softer brother, Gu Lingxiao was unmoved and only gave a decent command: "Send the Crown Princess back to the Eastern Palace."
Her brother... still didn't forgive her after all.
Yingying started crying again while thrusting, and she was stopped by Wuxiao after a few steps. In the end, Qin Rong, who was busy, sent her back to the East Palace himself. He touched her hair and sighed: "Wait a minute, your brother is not feeling well."
But how long does it take to wait?
Now that the rebellion has been eliminated, Qin Rong has also been eliminated with the help of Gu Lingxiao and Qiu Yu to take up the throne, and the world is peaceful, but Gu Lingxiao has never seen her once.
Yingying couldn't figure it out. For the sake of Qiu An'an, would he really refuse to pay attention to her for the rest of his life?
Did he know that the dull and unspeakable princess Shunhe, who had entered the East Palace a few days ago, said he wanted to kill her and avenge Qiu An'an.
"Brother, do you really want Yingying?"
After sneaking into Gu's mansion, Yingying ran directly to Gu Lingxiao's yard.
It has been so long since Gu Lingxiao's yard is still hanging with a white tent.
When Yingying went in, Gu Lingxiao was sitting in the yard drinking. When he saw Yingying, he raised his hand and wanted to call the servant to drive away the person, but Yingying hugged her legs.
"I was wrong, Yingying really knew she was wrong."
In fact, Yingying would not think she was wrong. She said this just to coax Gu Lingxiao to speak.
Gu Lingxiao was cold for so long that she finally heard an apology. She put down the wine glass in her hand. He asked expressionlessly: "Where are you wrong?"
Yingying was stunned for a moment, and then guessed for a while: "The fault is... shouldn't you kill Qiu An'an?"
Gu Lingxiao stared at Yingying seriously and smiled in her hesitant tone, "You shouldn't have killed anyone."
The smile became colder and colder. He bent over and pushed Yingying's hand away, saying word by word: "But you don't think you are wrong."
Yingying's eyes cannot deceive people, they are full of grievances and complaints, without any guilt or sadness.
He knew his sister best, and Gu Lingxiao never believed it. He once thought that his innocent and lovely sister was so vicious and ignorant.
He couldn't figure out how he taught Yingying so much that he taught her to be heartless?
In fact, it is not just Yingying who blames Gu Lingxiao, he is the one he cannot forgive the most.
At present, he still couldn't accept Yingying's killing of his wife and children, so he sent a message to the palace and asked his escort to send Yingying back to the palace.
No matter how Yingying gave in, Gu Lingxiao turned his back to her and didn't look at her again.
Yingying was pulled out of the Gu family's house by the Gu family's guards and stood outside the house for a long time. She felt that she was becoming less and less able to understand Gu Lingxiao, so she was in a bad mood and forgot to return to the palace and left the accompanying guards to go to Lanyue Pavilion.
After drinking one cup after another, she asked the beautiful little beauty in the hall: "So what if I kill Qiu Anan? Didn't he beat me to vent my anger?"
"I am his real sister. He used to say that he only loved me, but now he actually pulled my hair and pressed me against the wall for Qiu An'an and slapped me a few times."
It hurt so much that her cheeks were swollen for several days.
"I forgive him even after he beat me so hard. Now he still comes to coax him to beg him for forgiveness, so what else is he dissatisfied with?"
"Is it really important to me that died in Qiu An'an?"
The young man didn't know her identity, so he just thought that the beautiful little girl was drunk and talking nonsense, so he echoed while feeding her wine: "Yes, that woman named Qiu, is not as beautiful as our Miss Gu. In Qingxing's heart, a girl is more important than anyone else."
"Then will you stay with me?"
Yingying obediently drank the wine fed by the young servant.
The young man covered his mouth and giggled, touched Yingying's exquisitely embroidered purse on her waist tentatively, and approached her and exhaled like an orchid, "As long as the girl is willing to redeem her for Qingxing, then Qingxing is Miss Gu's person, and she will naturally be with you forever."
The word forever is too hasty.
Little do we know how many people cannot understand the meaning of eternity at all, let alone achieve the so-called eternity.
Yingying remembered her century-long loneliness wandering, tilted her head and stared blankly at the delicate young man. She was speechless and repeated these two words: "Forever, forever?"
When she leaves her body and returns to her soul, can this beautiful young man really accompany her forever, talk and play with her, so that she will no longer be lonely?
"Yes, Qingxing can be with you forever."
Yingying was moved, and with a wave of her hand, she untied the wallet and stuffed it into his hand and said, "Then I will use the prince's brother's money to redeem you."
"I, I will give you all the money given to me by the prince brother. I will support you in the future, so you can follow me!"
The smile on the young man froze. He held the purse in his arms and thought he had heard it wrong, so he raised his voice and repeated: "Brother Prince?"
Yingying nodded, without waiting for more, the neat footsteps downstairs surrounded Lanyue Pavilion.
After a noise, someone shouted in anger: "The Imperial Guard was ordered to search for the royal prisoners, and everyone gathered in the hall on the first floor!"
Yingying pulled the railings and looked down at the lobby downstairs. She saw the black armored imperial guards leading the way. The noble man wearing a black gold fur coat sat upright at the round table, as if he could not see the chaos in front of him, and was playing with the clear glass wine cup.
An invisible sense of oppression came, and Yingying woke up instantly and screamed in secret. She wanted to run away as soon as possible.
“…”
Running, you can't run.
Not only did Yingying not run away, she was also pressed in front of Qin Rong with a face covered by the Black Armor Army, and even the handsome young man was pressed over.
While trembling, the young man did not grab the purse in his hand. The purse fell to the ground and exposed the treasure bracelet ring inside. It was filled with jewelry that Qin Rong gave to Yingying, and each of them was priceless.
"No, it's not about the little people's business."
The young man was stunned when he looked at the jewelry and lay limply on the ground.
He had long forgotten the "Prince Brother" mentioned by Yingying. He believed the lies of the Imperial Guard and really regarded her as a royal criminal.
Frightened by the scene in front of him, the young man cried and pushed all the mistakes to Yingying: "It's her, it's all the villain she seduced!"
"Xiaomin doesn't know her at all. She is attracted by Xiaomin's good looks. She insists on giving these jewelry to Xiaomin, and also says she wants to steal the money from the crown prince to redeem Xiaomin."
It's just wrong. The late emperor just passed away and the prince ascended the throne. There is only one young and gentle emperor in the northern region. There is no so-called Prince.
As the young man talked, he noticed something was wrong. He found that although the so-called royal prisoner was covered with his face, the imperial guards were only protected on both sides of her, but he did not dare to hold her arms and press the person to the ground.
this……
The young man was a smart man. When he thought about what Yingying had just said, he raised his head suddenly with a sensation.
It happened to collide with Qin Rong's eyes. The man turned the wine cup in his palm and his faint gaze fell from Yingying onto his face. He curled the corners of his lips and slowly said tone: "Say it."
"Why don't you continue talking?"
It was like being pinched by someone's throat. The young man opened his eyes wide and trembled all over, and he could no longer say a word.
Qin Rong ignored him and gently put the wine in the glass cup on the ground, and the jade cup fell to the ground and shattered it.
Bang-
Accompanied by the faint sound of breaking, Qin Rong walked over the wet ground towards Yingying.
Yingying is now half awake and half drunk, and she is a little unsteady because she drinks too much.
Once again, she was grabbed by someone and her shoulders were taken into her arms. Yingying put on her mask and couldn't see the person who was hugging her. She only felt a hot breath coming from her cheeks. The man coldly said in her ear: "You are so unbearable."
Why can’t you stay in Qiuying Palace obediently?
Why do I always think about Gu Lingxiao? Having him is not enough, so I have to provoke other men?
He even messed up with something...scratch.
The force of holding Yingying became tighter and tighter. As the young man covered his bloody throat and fell to the ground, Qin Rong picked Yingying up.
"Lanyueguan privately harbors the royal criminals, and all those involved will be executed."
Qin Rong didn't plan to let this group of people live. The pleasant fragrance was mixed with some other smell, and Yingying faintly smelled blood on him.
Just now, she always wanted to take off the mask that was in trouble. When Qin Rong held her in the carriage, she hugged her and suddenly didn't dare to take it off.
