Chapter 93 Are You Lying to Me? !
Qi Jiulu's heart was cold, but his face became more and more gentle. He raised his hand to press Yun Fenghuang's shoulder, and said softly: "I know, your status in the palace is not low now, and Chunjia often goes to your place with ulterior motives, so that Your basic necessities are good. After you leave with me, what I can give you will definitely not be as good as the imperial confinement... but I will wrong you."
"These are nothing." Yun Fenghuang considered her words carefully. She didn't like Qi Jiulu's risky adventure. If the person who regarded Qi Jiulu as her confidant now was the regent, she might be willing to take a gamble—but Qi Jiulu's The lord is just the son of Gong Xiangxiao.
The crown prince's own seat is still uncertain. How much right does he have to speak on issues concerning the future of the regent's lineage?
He couldn't even speak, let alone Qi Jiulu.
Under such circumstances, letting Yun Fenghuang hold Tai Ah upside down and give someone a handle, she really can't get over the hurdle in her heart-yes, she has been mentally prepared to die without a place to die since she stepped into the palace; It's not the kind of person who is tied up or puts one's hands and feet on the line for the sake of the family, and even recently is planning how to coerce the Xie family and other northern tribes as a backing...
However, she still didn't want to choose this path where she might be able to get together with Qi Jiulu for a few years, and the final outcome was hard to say.
The reason is simple: no matter how dangerous she is in the palace, no matter how difficult it is to support her natal family against other concubines who were born as noble girls, there may be a chance of survival.
If you fail in the middle, at least try your best and try your best.
Yun Fenghuang felt that he was not a person with no capacity, and was willing to admit defeat in the bet.
But if he followed Qi Jiulu's arrangement, he would give up the struggle properly, and just hand over his wealth, life, honor and disgrace to the regent king.
She is not reconciled.
At the beginning, Chunjia also hinted that she took refuge.
Even though the emperor didn't care about her, but with Yuan Niangniang's example, he was nostalgic anyway. If he was devoted to him from the very beginning, even if he couldn't match his childhood sweetheart, if he wins, he can die in peace, and to a certain extent, benevolent to the family, it is not hopeless.
And what about the Regent?
Yun Fenghuang has never dealt with this prince, but since Gong Xiangxiao is worried about gains and losses, she is afraid that one day her younger brother will take the position of prince, so she can't rest assured - it is said that this prince and Concubine Yuan also loved each other back then The case has been filed together, the backyard is clean, and the family of three is happy and happy. It can be called a good story of a harmonious couple.
Then, not to mention the time when the regent concubine Yuan concubine died of illness makes people think about it, just talk about the situation of Gong Xiangxiao, the eldest son of the first wife in the past few years... The regent treats the people next to his pillow and his heirs so fondly of the new and dislikes the old, let alone the people under him?
Even Chunjia wouldn't believe Yun Fenghuang, let alone the regent?
"I know that I made you very sad when I was in Beidi and Kongque Slope." Yun Fenghuang thought about it again and again, and sighed, "But the thing that fell off the cliff before was an accident...we are still so young, why did we have to do it? Choose such a path with endless troubles? You give me some time, after a while, I might..."
The smile on Qi Jiulu's face faded little by little. He had a handsome appearance, the typical Beidi boy's handsome appearance. He was tall, with a tough outline, and his sword eyebrows and star eyes became more resolute. Once his face was expressionless, he showed a stern look.
At this moment, in this sternness, there was a bit of ruthlessness that could not be concealed, and he said softly: "After all, you will not come with me after all?"
Before Yun Fenghuang could open his mouth, he said, "When I made false claims with the empress earlier, she told me that you would not go with me... I just thought she was talking nonsense, now look, you... you To Chunjia..."
"The empress hates me to the bone, how can you believe her words?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and explained, "As for Chunjia and I, we each have our own love, but we hate each other but have to make excuses for each other!"
Qi Jiulu stared at her and said, "Really?"
"Could it be that you think that I love the new and dislike the old, so I entered the palace as a last resort, and I have a deep affection for Chunjia and don't want to leave in just a few months?!" Yun Fenghuang heard the suspicion in his words, feeling wronged, Can't help but choked up and asked back, "Or do you think I dislike the poor and love the rich like this, and when Chunjia is in charge, I cling to Jieyu's identity and refuse to leave?!"
"...I didn't mean that." Seeing this, Qi Jiulu was silent for a while, his tone softened, and he said in a low voice, "I just feel uncomfortable. Since childhood, everyone has told us that we are going to live a lifetime. I also I never thought that I would spend my whole life with someone other than you... How could I know my sister... In the past two years, I have felt that I have become less and less like myself. The disguise in the Qi family, the mediation among the clans, And marrying Chao Jingyou despite enduring the loathing for the Chao family..."
"Aunt Jiang told me to be patient, if I can't bear it, I will bear it again."
"At that time, I felt that for you, even if my heart was bleeding, I would definitely be able to hold on!"
"But until the news of your fall from the cliff came, I...I really can't hold on anymore!"
"Maybe as you said, you will have a better way if you wait a little longer, but I don't want to wait any longer."
He stretched out his hand to stroke Yun Fenghuang's temple hair, and asked calmly, "I'll ask you again, will you follow me?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang struggled and said nothing for a long time.
This is actually an answer.
Qi Jiulu's hand stroking her hair froze suddenly.
"Brother Lu, I..." Yun Fenghuang felt the sadness lingering around him, and subconsciously wanted to comfort him.
Just when she opened her mouth, she felt that something almost brushed her eyelashes and fell, leaving obvious wet marks on her skirt.
Yun Fenghuang's heart trembled, and he wanted to raise his head subconsciously, but Qi Jiulu moved faster than her—he pulled her into his arms, pressed her hair, and prevented her from raising her head. After a while, he moved his palm down again, covered her lips.
He didn't say a word, but his actions revealed it wordlessly. At this time, any look or question from Yun Fenghuang would cause him to completely collapse.
There seemed to be turbulent waves in Qi Jiulu's chest, and he hugged her with great strength, as if he wanted to embed the whole person into his body.
However, this gaffe only lasted for a short moment. Before Yun Fenghuang could get his thoughts together, he suddenly pushed her away—just like she pushed him away before, turning his face away, hiding his face in the darkness, dumbfounded Throat said: "I know."
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, subconsciously called "Brother Lu" again.
Qi Jiulu still didn't turn his head, just whispered: "As I said just now, I still have things to deal with, and I will leave later. In this way, you stay here for one night, and wait for me to tell Shizi about your plan." ...Wait for me tomorrow...I will take you back to Chunban Villa."
"Will Gong Xiangxiao agree?" Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and worried about him, "Why don't I come and tell him? Anyway, he also knows that you always listen to me."
"..." Qi Jiulu was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled to himself. Most of his face is still hidden in the dark, and he can't tell what his expression is. What, "Well, I've always listened to you, so it's the same when I say it, he knows I can't hold you back."
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to open his mouth, he added, "Besides, the place he is now is not suitable for taking you there."
Yun Fenghuang thinks about it too, this matter has progressed until now, it is obviously not so easy to go back on the front line - it is definitely not possible to negotiate directly with the Prince Regent's Mansion, you can only start with Gong Xiangxiao in private, then it is really inconvenient to do it yourself After all, her status as a concubine is too conspicuous.
"By the way, where is this place?" After nodding in agreement, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to relax a bit, and Yun Fenghuang finally had the mood to ask some details. And you are behind the scenes, isn't this Yun's private prison? How long have I passed out from the forest? Is this still Qishan?"
Qi Jiulu was not in a high mood, and said lightly: "This is still Qishan, not too far from Chunban Villa. But it is not Yun's private prison, but a private prison set up by a squire with special hobbies in Wannian County. Later that The matter of the squire's murder of a good family son was revealed, Du Langu sentenced him to death, and the whole family was exiled...the place was vacant."
This case was quite big at the time, and even made Du Langu famous in the first battle, because the squire lived in Wannian County for a long time, and was a respected "elder" in the village before he was exposed.
Moreover, he had an oblique relationship with Cui Wan, Du Langu's mentor, so after he was imprisoned, his family ran around trying to rescue him.
Although Cui Wan didn't personally go out to ask his disciples to show mercy, his heirs also had the act of entrusting someone to pass on the message.
As a result, Du Langu ignored it at all, and strictly dealt with it according to the law—this was a matter before Yun Fenghuang entered the palace. Due to the special hobbies involved, any more particular family would not let girls who have not left the court listen to it. arrived.
So it wasn't Qi Jiulu who said it, but Yun Fenghuang didn't know it at all.
Of course, a son like Yun Qike is not in the category of being concealed. When he was pushed to avenge his sister, he thought of such a place.
Yun Fenghuang listened, nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "By the way, what method did you use to let the queen come over in person? Listening to Gong Xiangxiao, he is not worried at all that the queen will not It was a trick, but the queen handed me over to you before she even made a move, how did you make her trust you so much?"
"These things are a long story." Qi Jiulu sneered, Yun Fenghuang thought he was going to start from the beginning, but the man stood up and said, "I should leave first, I will tell you when I come back. "
Yun Fenghuang was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Okay."
Just about to ask him when he would come back from this trip, Qi Jiulu glanced at her head and suddenly said, "Why did your pearl flower disappear?"
"Ah?" There was no mirror in this place, and Yun Fenghuang touched her bun when she heard the words, only to find that the gilt dot emerald emerald inlaid with beads, stone begonia and crane pattern head flower that Qi Jiulu Tete had prepared for her before had really disappeared.
Originally, they cherished the things that the other party gave them. When they were in the Northland, they even had a special room for storage, and special servants were responsible for taking care of and keeping them.
At this point, there is only more reason to be careful.
Especially Yun Fenghuang had just rejected Qi Jiulu's proposal to go away and was feeling guilty. Seeing this, he became anxious and hurriedly searched on the ground, but after looking around, he said, "Let me see if it fell into the stone room?"
While talking, she walked into the stone room - who knew that after she entered the door, she had to lower her head to look for Zhuhua's trace, when she heard a heavy stone door moving behind her!
Yun Fenghuang was startled, and instinctively turned his head to look, only to see that the stone door that was half opened just now suddenly closed!
What fell at the same time as the shadow was the rustling sound of a lock outside!
"..." The incident was so sudden that she was in a daze for a while, wondering if she was hallucinating, and then asked inconceivably, "Brother Lu, what are you doing?!"
"Don't do anything, just stay here until I take care of other things and come to pick you up." Qi Jiulu didn't speak at first, but listening to the movement, he locked the stone door carefully, and even did some things. As for the other arrangements, he said indifferently, "In case you sneak out while I'm away, you'd better stay in the stone room. Don't worry, I've left someone outside, and you will be safe. And someone will come to deliver things later, if you have anything you want, just say it, but whatever can be given to you will definitely be given to you."
After a pause, he said calmly, "But don't even think about asking him to let you out. There is only one set of keys on this door, and I will take it with you. Slowly, he won't listen to you. Even if he wants to, he will. No door."
Yun Fenghuang's complexion changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "You lied to me just now? You're not going to let me go back?!"
