Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Rescued

After an unknown amount of time, she became conscious in a daze.Tired as a hundred feet of sea water oppressed her, heavy aches and pains emerged from the bones of her limbs, and she was drowsy, when she heard someone whispering from the side, her heart was excited, and a painful moan escaped from her lips, between her eyebrows Twisted and twisted, the fine eyelashes struggled to open the eyelids. The chaos in front of him gradually turned into a blurry figure, and the eager voice came from his ear, "Chang Gong, Chang Gong, are you awake?" This voice... Could it be that he has already arrived at Yama's Difu?But why is Yama's voice so familiar, as if he heard it somewhere...

She stared fixedly at the person in front of her, her mind blank.The man's amber eyes, as quiet as the sky, rippled a little - like clarity, but confused by heartache; like thoroughness, but hiding too much pain; like indifference, but smeared with strong hatred... But now, there is a touch of relief and surprise. When her mind began to gradually recover, she suddenly realized that this might be a more terrifying place than Yama's Underworld, because the man in front of her was actually——Yu Wenyong! "I'm not dead?" These were the first words she said after waking up.

"Of course you are not dead, you are now in the palace of my Great Zhou." There was no emotion in his tone. She was taken aback, and licked her dry lips, "Why didn't I die? Why am I here? I obviously drank that cup..." "Death? I'm afraid it's not that easy!" He bent his lips, "I have a lot of spies in the state of Qi. When they learned that your emperor wanted to execute you, they changed to a special wine. The miraculous effect of that wine is that it will make people fall into a coma and appear in a state of suspended animation. It usually takes 7 days to regain consciousness. After the people in the palace buried you, my men dug you out and brought you here. What I said Is it detailed enough?"

She hadn't recovered from the shock, she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Why, why did you save me?" "Because..." His expression became complicated and inexplicable, "You belong to me, even if you die, you will die in my hands." Chang Gong thought of the ruthless knife on the grassland, and his sad and angry eyes at that time... His heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "In this case, kill as you want, and I owe you this knife." of." "I've said it before, sometimes it's not easy to die. What's more, I don't want to kill you..." There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Although you are the King of Lanling, in my life In my eyes, you are just an ordinary woman." He said coldly, "Come here, change her into Zhou Guo's women's clothes."

"I don't, I don't want to change into Zhou Guo's clothes! I don't want to change into women's clothes!" She shook her head angrily, "Yu Wenyong, you also know that I am the King of Lanling, even thousands of troops can't stop me, Can you, the guards in the palace, stop me?" "It used to be true, but now..." "What now?" As soon as she moved her body, she felt limp all over, and she could hardly exert any strength. "By the way, I forgot to tell you that this wine has another disadvantage, especially for martial arts practitioners, as long as you drink it, you will lose more than half of your skills, so——you are no longer the King of Lanling .”

"What did you say?" She straightened up reluctantly, "I will kill you, Yu Wenyong!" A slight tingling pain suddenly slid across her smooth jaw, and his hand lifted her jaw forcefully forcing her to raise her head. The strong light made her unable to see the face of the person against the light clearly, but she felt that the other's piercing gaze was intolerable. Penetrating himself questioningly, his voice was a bit stiff. "Don't you understand? Gao Changgong is dead. From now on, you can only survive as a woman in my harem." Her eyes widened in disbelief, her heart was anxious and angry, she couldn't catch her breath, and passed out again.

When she woke up again, she found that she had been changed into a mulberry leaf-yellow Juyi, and she couldn't help being even more shocked. This is usually the color of the clothes worn by concubines... She struggled to get up, Every time I took a foot, it was as if I was stepping on the clouds, so vain that I almost fell down.She quickly supported the shelf next to her, thinking of what Yu Wenyong said, she felt a chill in her heart, could it be that what he said was true?She is the invincible King of Lanling. She can't just be imprisoned like this, let alone lose everything she is most proud of... And Heng Jia, I wonder what happened to him?If he heard the news that he was killed, how would he be devastated... No, she can't stay here, she's going to find him... she's going to find him...

The door of the room was opened suddenly, and a handsome palace lady came in with something. Seeing that she had got up, she hurriedly put the things away, stepped forward to support her, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you can't walk around. The emperor ordered you to rest well. Also, empress, you have to drink this Gu stew first..." Chang Gong was shocked, "You, what did you call me?" The palace maid smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, do you know? During these days when you were in a coma, the Emperor stayed by your side every night. He didn't think about eating and drinking, and he lost a lot of weight. This servant has never seen the Emperor in such a distraught state. It can be seen that the emperor treats the empress unusually... However, the slaves have never seen such a beautiful person as the empress..."

"Shut up!" She was furious, and knocked over the stew on the desk, "Don't call me your mother, I'm not his concubine!" The maid froze there, and suddenly burst into tears. Chang Gong was also taken aback, and suddenly saw a red and swollen place on the maid's left hand, obviously scalded by the splashed stew just now, he couldn't help but feel soft, walked to her side, squatted down and picked up her hand, whispering Said: "I'm sorry, I hurt you, you hurry up and apply some medicine, I will take care of it here." The maid looked at her in surprise, and blurted out, "Your Majesty—"

Chang Gong sighed helplessly, what's the use of embarrassing these maids, they are just following orders. "What's your name?" The palace maid wiped away her tears and smiled brightly, "The servant girl is called Xiao'e, and the emperor sent the servant girl to serve the empress." "Xiao'e, I don't need any servants, and I'm not your emperor's concubine." Chang Gong stood up, with an indifferent gleam in his eyes, "You step back first." "The maidservant cleaned up these pieces first, otherwise it would be bad if I hurt you." Xiao'e picked up the scattered pieces on the ground while talking.Chang Gong glanced at the fragments, and suddenly his heart moved. When Xiao'e was not paying attention, she secretly hid a piece in her sleeve.

In the middle of the night, it was already dark.The hazy full moon is misty, like a veil. After reviewing the memorial, Yu Wenyong did not go back to his bedroom, but went straight to the Red Sandalwood Palace located to the west of the palace. This palace is located in a remote place, and no one would come here on weekdays, so it was a perfect fit for Chang Gong.Thinking that the woman he loves is in that palace now, his heart was agitated and his pace quickened a little.Whether he loves or hates her, he can no longer tell.The only thing that was clear was that he wanted her—to stay here forever. Just like now, she is beside him, within his reach. Perhaps, he would also like to thank the emperor of Qi, who not only eliminated a powerful threat to his Great Zhou, but also gave him such a precious gift. When he stepped into the room, he found that she had fallen asleep. Under the faint moonlight, the long black hair that spread loosely shone like the most luxurious silk in Chang'an City, and a few strands lingered around her fair neck and refused to leave, which aroused people's imagination.The drooping eyelashes trembled with her delicate breathing, like the flapping wings of a butterfly.The red lips parted slightly, and the almost transparent skin reflected the clear moonlight. He suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and an inexplicable throbbing flowed through his body, as if he heard the long-lost sound of spring flowers blooming again. In his memory, there has always been a special color that cannot be erased or concealed, gradually becoming the only temperature in his heart.But the knife next to the Crescent Lake has frozen the only temperature, but even so, the unstoppable heat will still penetrate through the ice layer little by little. While loving her, he also hated her, hated her ruthlessness, and hurt him the deepest after he sacrificed his life to save her.When he brought her here, it's not that he didn't think of taking revenge on her, hurting her severely, hurting her thoroughly, venting all the pain in his heart on her... However, when he saw her unconscious, he knew - he couldn't do it. Because he loves her. Therefore, he can only lock all the emptiness, all the struggles, and all the contradictions in his heart.Love and hate are intertwined, mixed into one, like ice and fire blending, burning while melting, and accumulating while disappearing. Destruction and rebirth, at the same moment. His fingertips lightly brushed her cheek, feeling the warmth from there, the only warmth that belongs to him now. From now on, the gold and iron horses, the beacon fires on the battlefield, the beating of drums and snowy seas from all directions, and the three armies shouting to shake the mountains, all of these will disappear from her life. From now on, she is just an ordinary woman who is his... Yu Wenyong's - woman. He didn't know how long he sat beside her bed before he got up and left. As soon as the door was closed, Chang Gong opened his eyes, his hands tightly holding the broken porcelain pieces were already sweating profusely.In fact, from the moment he walked in, she woke up.But she kept her eyes closed and endured, because she clearly knew in her heart that she was no match for him now, and she didn't want to do anything unless it was a last resort, and she didn't want to waste this piece of broken porcelain. Because this piece of broken porcelain should be used in a more useful place. After confirming that he had left, Chang Gong turned over and got off the bed, and quietly walked to the door.She has long noticed that there are two guards outside the door who are guarding here every step of the way, so if she wants to go out from here, she must first get rid of these two guards. After sleeping for a whole day, she has regained a little strength.Although she is not very sure, but with her speed, she should have a good chance of winning against these two people. She knocked the candlestick to the ground with a wave of her hand, and then quietly waited for the opportunity by the door. Two guards outside the door heard the sound, and one of them immediately came in to see what was going on. As soon as he stepped into the gatehouse, Chang Gong cut his throat cleanly with the broken porcelain in his hand.Seeing that there had been no movement for a long time, the other guard couldn't help but come in to take a look, but she solved it in the same way. After finishing off the two guards at once, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that she wasn't that bad yet.So she looked around carefully and slipped out of the room cautiously. After passing through the long corridor, the gate of the Red Sandalwood Palace is not far away.The closer one is to success, the more careful one must be. This is also the experience she has gained from her long-term battle.So, she hid herself in the darkness, carefully observed the guards at the gate of the palace, and thought about a way to break through. Suddenly there was a chuckle behind her, she turned her head stiffly, Yu Wenyong's familiar and handsome face was quickly enlarged in front of her eyes, and the corners of her thin mouth were curved slightly, "Why, you want to think about it so soon Escaped?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the blood-stained tile in her hand, and he snorted coldly, "Killing two of my guards with just this, it really deserves to be the old Lanling Wang. But do you know how many guards are outside the palace gate? Can you kill them all?" Although he smiled casually, she could feel the deep anger hidden in him, which was almost uncontrollable, and his sword-like eyes pierced her face. "Where do you want to go back? Do you want to go back to Qi? Don't forget how the emperor of Qi treated you. The country that you risked your life to protect ended up abandoning you. It's a glass of poisoned wine. Gao Changgong, are you willing? Such a country, such an emperor, what is it worth protecting?" He looked at her quietly. "Yes, in today's Qi State, treacherous officials are in power, the emperor is stupid, and the emperor executed me after listening to the slander of the villain. It really chills me. But, Yu Wenyong, no matter what happens in that country, no matter how many things happen there, I can't help it." Forgiveness, I still can't turn my back on that country, because it's where I was born and raised!" She took a deep breath, "Even if I don't return to Qi in the future, I won't stay here. So, no matter what No matter what method I use, I will definitely escape from here. Not once, not twice, not twice, not three times! As long as I have one breath, I will never give up and escape from here!" She gritted her teeth, "Yu Wenyong, you can't keep me." After she finished speaking, she smiled strangely, the smile was thin, but full of sarcasm, which pierced his eyes sharply. He pressed her against the wall all at once, and the tile in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter due to too much force.She raised her eyes in amazement, and looked into those amber eyes, so close, as if she could see her soul. "You can't go anywhere!" He looked at her coldly, suddenly pinched her hands on top of her head, and bit down hard, holding the two rosy pieces.It wasn't a gentle kiss, nor a considerate lingering, but a cold aggression, crazily occupying every inch of territory, the gap between his lips and teeth was taken away by him mercilessly, the gentleness in his eyes was no longer, There is only snow-like cold, and an attack that leaves no room for attack. She was about to suffocate... She was in so much pain that she could only keep making a muffled sound, her struggle became weaker and weaker, her eyes began to become loose, and her eyes gradually cast a color like stagnant water.You'll die if you go on like this... Just as the consciousness was about to completely withdraw from the body, the pressure on the lips suddenly lightened. A large amount of air rushed into her chest, and she instinctively took a big mouthful of breaths.Yu Wenyong's breathing was also a little heavy, but his eyes were filled with tranquility, appreciating her weak and messy appearance coldly. Snapped!He was caught off guard by a sudden heavy punch on the cheek, the corner of his mouth was broken, and a streak of blood oozes out. "I already have some strength," he stroked the place where he was beaten, and looked at her, "I didn't expect you to recover so quickly." An indifferent smile appeared on his face, "But this strength is not enough. to defeat me." The punch just now exhausted all the physical strength she slowly accumulated. Chang Gong leaned against the wall and looked at him panting, "You kill me, I'm not your trophy! You can kill me, but never Don't insult me!" Yu Wenyong was stunned for a moment, he couldn't be humiliated, he couldn't help laughing, "Gao Changgong, I won't kill you, take good care of your body." He reached out and lifted her chin, "Two Ten days later, I will ask the people in the palace to arrange for you to sleep in." The moment he saw something broken in her eyes, an inexplicable sense of revenge surged in his heart. What would hit her the hardest—he knew all too well. The morning sun shone into the elegant and tidy Hanguang Hall, Empress Ashina had already got up and was arranging the flowers and plants in the courtyard.She used to be in Turkic, which was her hobby. Now that she is married in the Central Plains, there are more varieties of flowers and plants, and she can't put it down even more. Whenever upset, these flowers and plants are also the best way to ease her mood. "Your Majesty, these flowers and plants are growing much better than before in your hands." Her personal maid, Chu Ying, handed over the water with a smile. The queen smiled, and suddenly the chatter of two court ladies came from not far away. "I heard from Xiao'e that this bride is more beautiful than anyone else in our palace." "Really? No wonder the emperor is so nervous this time." "That's right, look at the emperor's harem. There have always been five or six concubines. Even Concubine Li, who is the only one who gave birth to the emperor's heir, doesn't see the emperor a few times a year." "I really want to see what kind of beauty she is." "I heard that the guards there are very strict, and no one else is allowed to approach..." "But seeing that the emperor is so nervous, that empress must be very doting..." The two maids walked away while talking.The Queen stopped what she was doing, as if she was thinking about something. "Your Majesty, I don't know who that woman is. I don't believe that there are women more beautiful than you in this world." Chu Ying said unconvinced. The queen pursed her lips and said nothing, a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.Since an unconscious woman was brought in from outside the palace a few days ago, the emperor did not review the memorial for seven consecutive nights, but stayed by the woman's side every night.Moreover, the Red Sandalwood Palace where this woman was housed was located in a remote place, surrounded by a large number of guards, no one was allowed to approach, even Aye, the emperor's most trusted person, was not allowed to enter, it was very suspicious.Who is this woman?Does this woman have any undisclosed identity?
