Empress Chu

Chu Zhao's eyes were focused blankly, and he helped Ale to stand up.

……

……

In the prison cell in the county city, the soldiers and the doctor retreated. Deng Yi, who was lying on the wooden board, saw the figure shaking, and the woman's figure appeared in sight.

The darkness of the cell obscured her face.

Deng Yi raised his hand slightly, and stroked the upper part of his heart, which was wrapped in a thick wound cloth.

"Queen, the arrow missed by an inch on purpose." He said in a hoarse voice, "Would you spare my life?"

Chu Zhao didn't answer him, but asked, "Where is Yuxi?"

Deng Yi's body has been searched, and there is no jade seal, nor the county city and Zhongshan king.

Deng Yi said: "You know that if I die, no one will be able to get the jade seal. Your Majesty really understands my character."

"I'm not interested in guessing your thoughts. I don't care what kind of person you are." Chu Zhao said flatly, "Do I need the jade seal now? Without the jade seal, I can still kill you."

Deng Yi didn't dwell on this topic anymore, and suddenly said: "My mother is still alive."

Chu Zhaodao: "Her life is not good. It is very unlucky to have a son like you. I can't lose my life for you."

Deng Yi said: "One life for one life."

What's the meaning?Chu Zhao didn't speak.

Deng Yi looked at her: "My mother's life is exchanged for Xie Yanlai's life."

Chapter 73 see

Mole crickets and ants are not noticed by adults, but they are the most familiar playmates for children. Almost all children have squatted on the ground to see ants and imagine what it would be like to live underground.

Life underground turned out not to be interesting.

Dark, damp, suffocating, not even sure if I'm alive.

I even feel like I've died several times.

was burned.

Bleeding to death.

Mud and water covered his mouth and nose, ants and insects crawled on his body, and tree roots entangled him, trying to turn him into nourishment.

Sometimes I feel that my body is light and mixed with the soil, and sometimes I feel that the whole earth is weighing on my body.

My ears are sometimes very noisy, I can hear a lot of voices, burning fire, exploding stones, insects and ants crawling, and broken earth rolling down.

Sometimes there is a quiet blank, as if floating in chaos.

I don't know when, there was a knocking sound in the chaos, the refutation was neither light nor heavy, and then it was poked down, piercing the soil, penetrating his body, penetrating his throat, chest and lungs——

Xie Yanlai jumped up suddenly, like a fish being thrown ashore, he gasped heavily, and a man's face appeared in front of his eyes, he was wrapped in a cloak, standing in the darkness and looking down——

"You are still here." The voice rang in my ear.

The next moment, a light was turned on in the darkness, illuminating the man's face, and Xie Yanlai recognized Deng Yi.

"You are really lucky." Deng Yi said, shaking his head after speaking, "No, it should be luck."

Good luck?Xie Yanlai wanted to laugh a little, um, yes, many people said that he was lucky, a concubine became a child of the Xie family, and he was well-clothed and well-fed.

Good luck surviving the fire.

But if you meet Deng Yi, is it fortune-telling?

This is the person who voted for the second master as Taifu.

The second master had just been killed by him.

"You are lucky to meet her." Deng Yi's voice fell from above.

she?who?Xie Yanlai had a thought, the next moment Deng Yi let go of his hand, the lamp fell down, and the bean-sized lamp instantly burst into flames, engulfing him overwhelmingly.

Xie Yanlai let out a low cry, and instinctively raised her hands to cover her head and face.

No hot smoke, no choking suffocation.

Xie Yanlai opened her eyes, panting heavily, her eyes were dark, there was no fire, no Deng Yi.

He is not lying on the ground anymore.

He was lying under the bed, or inside the slats.

Although it is also a closed place, although it is also narrow and cannot be stretched, it is different from the soil.

He was dreaming again, it was still a dream within a dream.

He took a deep breath to calm his breath.

He watched a pair of star-like eyes gradually appear above the bed, and then a whole face appeared, and then this face smiled, and the dark and cramped bed room was filled with spring light.

Xie Yanlai couldn't help laughing either.

He didn't really care about death, nor was he afraid of it.

However, if you are alive, you will be able to see her again.

"Xie Yanlai." The girl floating above said with a smile, "Are you okay?"

Xie Yanlai wanted to respond, but thought that as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the dream would disappear. In the past, he always spoke to make the dream disappear, but the only exception was his dream of her.

He didn't want to wake up when he dreamed of her.

He nodded his head slightly instead of answering.

"Is that good?" The girl frowned and looked at him, "Then why don't you talk? Did you hurt your throat? Can't talk?"

This damn girl was so annoying in the dream, Xie Yanlai gave her a glare.

"It's over, I don't refute this." The girl murmured, "It can be seen that it is really broken."

No matter what, I have to teach her a lesson, at least let her stop nagging the next time she appears in a dream, Xie Yanlai said: "There are too many people who don't want to talk, and it's not like they all have broken voices."

There was a smile on the girl's face, but then it was sad again.

"It's been so long." She stretched out her hand to caress his face, and said, "Your voice is still hoarse, you must have been choked by the fire. Didn't Deng Yi give you any medicine?"

The hand touching the face is soft and warm, is the touch so real in the dream?Xie Yanlai was stunned for a moment, and, she asked Deng Yi?

"Chu Zhao?" he said.

Chu Zhao looked at him and responded.

"Chu Zhao!" Xie Yanlai stood up abruptly.

Only then did he realize that the bed board had been lifted at some point.

Is he not dreaming?

But he couldn't get up, Chu Zhao rushed in and hugged him in the narrow bed compartment.

Although this girl is not heavy, she still has weight when she falls on her body. It is different from the screen that blocks the fire, it is different from the boards supporting the pothole, and it is different from the layers of soil that fell on her body...

Not dreaming.

it is true.

"Chu Zhao!" Xie Yan said, "What are you doing!"

"Did I press your wound?" The girl immediately responded to him, supporting her body and sliding aside, "Where is the injury? A sword wound or a burn?"

Xie Yanlai snorted: "There are injuries everywhere, all kinds of injuries..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw Chu Zhao's tears falling down, one drop or two quickly falling like rain, running down his face, she bent down cautiously, wrapped her hands around his neck carefully, and leaned against his side.

Xie Yanlai paused, and said slowly: "It's not that serious, you came too late, and the injury is healed."

Chu Zhao, who was leaning against him, didn't speak, but Xie Yanlai knew that she was still crying, and tears wet his shoulders.

"Don't cry." Xie Yan said, hesitating for a moment and raised her hand to pat her lightly, "I'm really fine, a month has passed."

Chu Zhao looked up at him.

The curtains and bed boards were raised, and although night had fallen, the vision was not dizzy.

His face was pale, thin and sunken, if it wasn't for the still thick black long eyebrows and slightly raised phoenix eyes, she wouldn't have recognized that unruly Xie Yan coming.

Chu Zhao's eyes were blurred with tears: "Xie Yanlai, why are you always so miserable."

Xie Yanlai looked at the tearful girl in front of her. The last time she saw her crying so bitterly was after her father passed away. Various feelings filled her heart, and at the same time, countless hot streams spread throughout her body along the blood vessels.

He couldn't help laughing, and said: "Maybe my life is not good, it's more unlucky."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "No, your life is very good, so good that you can do what you want and survive."

She buried her head on Xie Yanlai's shoulder again.

"My life is also very good, to meet you."

Is it her fate to meet him?Isn't it time to blame him for breaking her track and cutting off the way back to Bianjun?

The girl on the shoulder raised her head again and looked at him: "I didn't know at that time that when I met you, it turned out that God opened my eyes to me."

I don't know what happened, but hearing these words in my ears, it was like a person being roasted by a fire again, which made him feel uneasy all over.

"Stop being obedient." Xie Yan said, reaching out to push the girl's forehead, "Get up, don't squeeze me."

Chu Zhao didn't get up and put his head on his shoulder.

"Wait a little while, let me take a breath." She said, sighing deeply.

She is also very tired.

Learned he was missing.

He learned that Xiao Xun had been assassinated.

You also need to carry a heart, press down on the spirit, dispatch troops and generals, and fight steadily without rushing.

He was hidden in the bed by Deng Yi for nearly a month, and he was in a coma most of the time.

Sleepiness and physical pain are painful, but the awake person suffers even more.

Xie Yanlai didn't speak any more, feeling the girl leaning on her shoulder was taking long breaths, she really fell asleep.

"Me too," he whispered.

When I met you, it turned out that God opened his eyes to me.

……

……

Ale stood by the door, looked at the inner room, and then at the four or five doctors standing outside.

"When will the doctor see the injury?" She couldn't help whispering.

It stands to reason that the first time you find someone, you should lift them out to check the injury. Why did the lady jump into the bed?

Xiaoman said: "It's been a month, and I'm not in a hurry to see the injury at this moment."

She looked inside.

"They fell asleep."

Fell asleep... Ah Le was a little funny and helpless, why did he fall asleep again?This time it wasn't just Xie Yan who came, the lady also fell asleep.

Xiaoman winked at her: "Let them sleep, they are all tired."

A Le was silent for a moment, did not speak again, and gently closed the door.

Chapter 74 Care

The autumn scenery of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is densely dyed.

It's just that there is no previous bustle in the mansion, Zhongshan King's family members are locked up, ready to be escorted into exile, and the servants have already been sold.

It was very quiet while walking.

"Your Majesty, look, there is a hot spring here." A Le said, pointing forward in surprise.
