Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

The gauze covering her eyes was lifted layer by layer, and she tried her best to open her eyes and look around.The shadows are vague, the curtains in the palace, the room is full of people, and the voice of the voice seems to be swaying in the breeze, so unreal, as if I am only looking at the flowers on the other side across thousands of mountains. "Pearl, can you see me, can you see me?" Li Chu's voice brought her back to reality.She turned her head away, obviously close at hand, but his figure was blurred, only his eyes were bloodshot, which made her feel anxious.There was joy in Changsun E's words: "Okay, madam can see now. Don't worry, madam, it's normal that you can't see clearly now. Just close your eyes, rest for a while, and try again!" Li Chu took her hand , also softly said: "Yes, Pearl, no hurry, no hurry."

Shen Zhenzhu closed her eyes again as she said, and opened them slowly after a long time. Li Chu's face was extremely haggard and tired, but his determination and composure never dissipated, his eyes were filled with endless tenderness and firmness, as if he could help her up steadily when she was weak and fell down at any time. "No, Chu, in this life, I won't just let you help me." She said silently in her heart. It wasn't yesterday, she had been reborn, and she would never give anyone another chance to be easily hit and knocked down. An Qingxu was picking up the acupuncture boxes, so a person who didn't care about everything seemed to have anxiety in his eyes.Is he doubting his own acupuncture techniques, or his teacher's medical skills?However, if he gave needles to others again, his hands would tremble as he had in the past three days, and he might not be able to inherit Changsun E's mantle and make his medical skills famous all over the world.

Silently sip, this generation of kings who have created inexhaustible achievements is so young.He is tall and tall, with deep-colored pupils and sunken eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a pale-blue complexion, full of intimidating charm.Ye Hu is not even as tall as his shoulders, and this young man's deep eyes have revealed a sharp and calm light, Shen Zhenzhu's heart jumped inexplicably, as if he saw the young An Qingxu from Ye Hu, a feeling of uneasiness slowly grew . When he came again, he caught the gaze of the white-bearded Changsun E, who twitched his beard and smiled: "Okay, Ma'am can see." Li Chu was overjoyed, An Qingxu raised his head, and smiled silently.

After days of torture, Aqina was covered in bruises, and her golden curly hair was draped over her shoulders and curled up in a corner of the cell. Shen Zhenzhu approached slowly, bent down and lifted her chin, even though her face was covered with blood, she was still amazed.Since hatred can turn such a slender woman into a vicious heart, she, Shen Zhenzhu, might as well be cruel. Aqina opened her eyes sleepily, looking at Shen Zhenzhu's bright eyes, she couldn't help screaming sharply: "You, your eyes have recovered?!" Shen Zhenzhu smiled faintly: "That's right, I've let you down!"

Aqina bit her lower lip tightly, with hatred in her eyes, although she knew that she had already lost half a chip in the question and answer just now, but she refused to show her weakness at all, stared straight into Shen Zhenzhu's eyes, and said: "I Knowing your reason for coming, do you want me to name my accomplice? You are delusional, even if Aqina dies forever, she will not say..." While speaking, she stood up while leaning on the wall, with a smug smile on her lips. Laughing, with a charming light in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "I want you to be defenseless, and I want you to know that even if I, Aqina, are dead, you still have enemies, hiding in the dark, your enemy is much stronger than me... ...I curse you, to die at the hands of that person, it was horrible, haha, horrible..."

Shouting and laughing, seeing Shen Zhenzhu standing there calmly, staring straight at her with both eyes, she sneered again: "You can't help it? Ren Gele Khan, King Guangping, haha, God All the heroes below have come to interrogate me, but there is nothing I can do? Aqina is not afraid of death, and she has no parents or brothers to threaten you, so what can you do? Send me to heaven as soon as possible, and save you a few meals." "Both of your parents have died since you were young, so you really have no parents, brothers or sisters." Looking at the almost crazy woman in front of her, Shen Zhenzhu finally said, "I just heard a story. In Telly, there was a girl with five When I was young, my parents were both infected with the epidemic, and they both let go. The girl would have starved to death, but fortunately, a sixty-year-old woman who was begging for a living gave her a piece of leftover cake that she had picked up every day, so she survived .”

Aqina gritted her teeth and scolded: "That damn girl Zhemiyi!" She raised her head proudly and said in a strong tone, "You don't want to use the old woman to threaten me. She is old, so it doesn't matter if she dies, I happen to be with her!" Shen Zhenzhu stared at her for a while, then sneered and shook her head suddenly, "Why do you think so? How could I hurt the old man's life?" "No? You were able to threaten Albus with my life back then, so what's the difficulty in repeating the same trick, but I won't be threatened by you again." Aqina said aggressively before Shen Zhenzhu finished speaking.

"No", Shen Zhenzhu clearly felt that her words were gradually becoming cruel and vicious, "I will only invite the old woman to this prison every day, give her a high seat, treat her with good tea and meals every day, and let her watch the jailer count the number of times every day. Your accusations, and then you will be severely whipped. Day after day, month after month, until - you are willing to confess completely!" Aqina's eyes slowly turned red, and she stared straight at Shen Zhenzhu, as if she couldn't believe it: "You, so-venomous-spicy!" Shen Zhenzhu sneered coldly, and replied: "Thanks for the praise, but it's not one ten thousandth as good as the girl. Are you feeling extremely unwilling now, but there is nothing you can do?"

Aqina bit her lower lip to bleed, dripping on the dirty crimson collar, which was particularly ferocious and terrifying. "I said." She took a step back and leaned against the wall softly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of sarcasm, "To tell you the truth, I don't know who the person who conspired with me is." See Shen Zhenzhu Somewhat shocked, she laughed strangely, "That afternoon, I was thinking about how to get revenge at the inn, but I received a letter asking me to go to the Xiangming House. I went to the Xiangming House, and in the inner room, I saw the three of you in a coma. I didn’t know who you were at the time, but a girl with a sharp tongue next to me actually said that you were Princess Guangping. I was overjoyed, and I just wanted to kill you quickly. That girl didn't know why, but she knew my intention of revenge. It was too cheap to persuade me, so she came up with an idea to get you to Xiliang country. They even knew that Xiliang country's original interpreter was ill and was short of an interpreter. I Sure enough, I found the position of interpreter, got a carriage overnight, and took you and Murong Linzhi out of Chang'an City from Xiangmingju."

Xiangmingju, Xiangmingju!Such a thorough plan, such a vicious mind.The pretty girl in Xiangmingju, the sound of the name of the tea at that time is still ringing in my ears, and the sound seems to be broken in two when it falls on the ground.He asked urgently, "Where is Hongrui, did you kill her?" "You said that maid," Aqina snorted and smiled, her face full of complacency, "I didn't touch her, why would I want her here? But, I heard the girl in the restaurant say something— —” "what?" "She said, my sister said, that maidservant has martial arts, if she keeps it, it will only cause bad things, so kill her as soon as possible!"

"Sister? Who is the sister she is talking about?" This teahouse girl is also acting under the orders of her "sister". Who is this "sister"? "How would I know? I don't think it's necessary to know." Aqina smiled lazily, looking straight at Shen Zhenzhu.Shen Zhenzhu stared at her for a long while, until she was finally convinced that she was not lying, then turned around and walked slowly towards the cell door. "Wait!" Aqina stopped her, "Tell me, what did you do to my mother-in-law?" Shen Zhenzhu sighed, looked at her with pity, and said to her: "You are only thinking about revenge, and it seems that you haven't returned to Telli for a long time. Your mother-in-law died of old age and illness two months ago." Aqina was stunned for a while, then Fang laughed miserably: "Okay, okay, okay, you won this battle beautifully. However, you must not be too complacent. I just die to solve all my worries, and I will last my whole life. I'm afraid you will suffer." The torment is still going on for a long time. Hahaha—" Shen Zhenzhu walked out of the cell door.People have their own difficulties when they exist in the world, but they still have to make things difficult for each other.Aqina ended her life with a glass of poisoned wine, but the "mystery" of Xiangmingju has not yet been solved.However, Shen Zhenzhu is sure that the day to solve the mystery is not far away. The bright sunlight at noon made my mind dizzy for a while, and when I stumbled, I was firmly supported by Li Chu who was waiting outside.She smiled wryly and said: "Chu, you have seen it today, am I extremely vicious?" Li Chu was startled, put his arms around her shoulders, and said softly: "I would rather you are really vicious, as long as you don't be misunderstood by others anymore." Hurt. If you want to go to hell, I will accompany you." This incident seems to have broken clues, but there are at least two things worth pursuing.First, where does Xiangmingju come from?It is not important to be luxurious and elegant in Xiangmingju. There are many rich and wealthy people in Chang'an City. It is not difficult to manage this teahouse. The difficulty is that there are all teahouses in the world with excellent tea. Where does this supply come from?Second, how was Murong Linzhi taken into captivity?It's a pity that according to Li Chu, after being rescued, Murong Linzhi has become a very different person, and no one dared to mention the past in front of her easily.Besides, this matter involves the face of the royal family, and it is too late for everyone to cover it up, so who will seriously investigate and investigate. "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen has specially sent a postman to deliver a hundred thousand urgent letters!" A guard hurried forward and presented the sealed letter with wax to Li Chu.Li Chu tore off the wax seal and pulled out the letterhead.The person who wrote the letter was Feng Shengyi in Chang'an, and the date of signing it was 20 days ago. It seems that after he finished writing the letter, it was quickly passed from Luyi to Chen Zhou. The post officials in the Huihe terrain directly rushed to the capital of Huihe day and night, and only in a short period of 20 days, this letter was passed to Li Chu. He read ten lines at a glance on the thin two pages, and inadvertently his pupils shrank slightly. Shen Zhenzhu had a panoramic view, and he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?" Li Chu glanced at the guard, the guard took a few steps back and said at the same time: "The post official is still waiting for His Highness at the post." Only then did Li Chu say to Shen Zhenzhu: "There is something wrong in Chang'an. Taifu Minister Dou Ruzhi was assassinated and died." The Taifu minister was from the third rank and was in charge of the treasury and market trade. Assassination is a major event, but it is not worth it for Li Chu moved.Sure enough, Li Chu continued to say, "Your Majesty was furious when Tan was captured on the spot." Shen Zhenzhu was very surprised and said: "Tan has always disliked dealing with court and Chinese officials, how could he get involved with Dou Ruzhi for no reason?" Li Chu said in a low voice: "After Murong Linzhi and Tan left, Your Majesty's new concubine Jianning is the daughter of the Dou family." Distributed, said: "I'll come as soon as I go, wait for me in the room... Let's go home, okay?" He said solemnly to the guards: "Protect the princess!" In the response of the eight guards, he had already taken several personal guards far away. Shen Zhenzhu stood on the spot and thought silently for a while, when Zhemiyi's voice came from her ear: "Miss Shen, Khan is here to invite you." Even though she knew that Shen Zhenzhu was the princess of Tang Guangping, she still couldn't change her words.In the past few days because of Aqina's affairs, her appearance has been greatly reduced, she must have been tortured in her heart, Shen Zhenzhu couldn't bear it, held her hand, and asked: "Do you want to see Aqina for the last time?" Zhe Miyi lowered her eyes and said: "You Han people also say that the water flowing from east to west does not return to the west. I have lost my relationship with her sister, so there is no need to look back. Miss Shen, Khan is waiting for you in the side hall." Through the long corridor of bluestone slabs, following Zhemiyi's guidance, he walked through several palaces in a zigzag manner.Folding again, a row of Uighur guards in full armor flashed in front of them, and one of them stood in between the guards and Shen Zhenzhu, saying in Chinese: "Khan only invites the princess, and the rest please stay behind!" The leading guard did not show weakness, and replied loudly with his sword in his arms, "We are ordered by King Guangping of the Tang Dynasty to protect the princess every step of the way!" The guard of Huihe snorted and said with a smile: "This is the royal palace of Huihe. If there is no order of the Khan, how can you allow you to walk around with swords, don't know what is good or bad!" The leading guard replied: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king. Before your boy was born, your ancestor Huihe Khan had already surrendered to the north of my Tang emperor!" The Huihe guards were red-faced, pressed their hands on their waists, and the scimitar was half out of the sheath. Huihe people have always been straightforward, and seeing that they were about to lose control, their swords were drawn. Rules, act willfully. You wait here, Khan has saved my life, and I am going to thank you face to face!" After finishing speaking, he walked inside with a flick of his sleeves. The side hall stands majestically at the moment, and the outside of the hall is deserted, without a single palace guard. Shen Zhenzhu took a deep breath, raised her hands, and the thick "boom" sound echoed in the corridor and courtyard.The door opened, a beam of light made her eyes barely open, and a strong, choking smell wafted into her nostrils, lingering around her. It's alcohol!Shen Zhenzhu regretted suddenly, turned her head and walked out.However, his arm was in pain, his whole body was pulled and turned around, and the wind was flickering in his ears, and he was tightly pinched into his arms.The kisses with the strong smell of alcohol came domineeringly and irresistibly, he forcibly pressed against her teeth, letting his breath diffuse into her skin and soak her whole body.She didn't even have a chance to breathe, she could only forcefully push his chest with her arms.But his whole body seemed to be made of iron and steel, not only could he not break free, but her arm was in constant pain, and pain appeared on her face.She struggled and slowly backed away, and he pressed on every step of the way. Suddenly, she slipped and fell to the ground, almost being crushed by him.This also made his lips leave hers for a while, and she swung her hands up, "slap", slapped her face crisply, and shouted: "Sip silently, what are you going to do—" Mo Yan Chuan then let go slowly, stood up and took a few steps back crookedly, his face was slightly flushed after drinking, adding a bit of unruliness. "Khan, please respect yourself!" Knowing that this is the most ridiculous nonsense in the world, Shen Zhenzhu still said it aggressively. Mo Yanchuu ignored her, took a few steps back, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the high chair in the middle of the hall, leaning on the back of the chair, drunk: "You, have you decided to go with King Guangping?" Shen Zhenzhu remembered what he said to herself that day. "If you are willing to stay in Huihe, whether it is to be my Kehe Dun, or to live in Huihe for a long time, I will silently procrastinate for the rest of my life, and I will protect you and prevent anyone from hurting you!" Every word and sentence, the words are still in my ears.How can he not know his deep affection for himself, and how can he not be emotional.It's just a person with one heart, but it's so narrow and cramped, if it's destined to betray him, why not be silent forever.Immediately replied: "Pearl is naturally following her husband. Khan can only live up to his kindness to me." Moyan sipped a pot of wine by his side with his hand, gulped a few more gulps, put down the jug, his eyes gradually turned red, and said: "Grace, kindness! It turns out that you only recognize my kindness!" Sleeve swept across the table, the jug fell to the ground, and the eyes were red like a fire-breathing monster: "I only wish I didn't want you that day!... If I really want you, I don't know if your husband will still stick to you!" Don’t give it up, treat it like a treasure? Will you be like King Jianning, who despises his wife and loses his virginity, and abandons her like a shoestring?” Shen Zhenzhu's complexion gradually turned pale, and what she said silently, hit her heart.She also wanted to ask Li Chu countless times, "What would you do if you replaced me with Lin Zhi?" However, she was still unable to ask.This is embarrassing him, but also embarrassing yourself.What should he do?A man of gold and jade can't tolerate flaws the most. If Li Tan is like this, how can Li Chu be spared? "Do you know why your husband hurried to the posthouse just now?" Shen Zhenzhu was startled.Mo Yan sipped, seemingly drunk, but sober and clear, with clear eyes and ears.Wine, which has come through the ages, is all dependent on things. "I guess, he must ask the postman, how is it rumored that Princess Guangping was taken captive and out of morals?" He really did lie to himself, seeing that his complexion was different at that time, he already felt that something was wrong, the one who should come will definitely come, the dignified emperor's grandson and concubine have been in the palace for three or four months when they are in banquets and should be restrained Repeated absence, even if Li Chu deliberately concealed it, is enough to arouse the vigilance of those who are interested.However, even if it was a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair, she would have to go back after a thousand humiliations. Now that the decision is made, there is no need to be timid and hesitant. Shen Zhenzhu smiled heartily, returning to her face brightly and confidently, and bowed to Moyan, "My husband and I will leave Huihe today and return to Chang'an. Zhuzhu will bid farewell to Khan first, and hope Khan will take good care of himself." Stepping out of the palace gate, Mo Yan's sipping voice was still behind him: "Since you insist on leaving, I will not obstruct you. You have to remember that I will open the gate of the royal court for you at any time."
