... I don’t know how long it took, Princess Qingxin woke up in a daze, and found that she was tightly tied to the couch, her hands and feet were specially tied, and she could not move at all. She subconsciously wanted to shout, but found that something was stuffed in her mouth, and she could only make a sound of "Uh-huh".
What frightened her even more was that the rich and gorgeous brocade clothes on her body had actually been taken off, and she was now lying on her back wearing only a light pink tunic. In the lapel of the tunic, a man's big hand slowly moved of moving.
Even though she was still separated by a layer of obscene clothes, she could still feel the roughness and heat in her palms. Princess Qingxin almost didn't faint again!
"Your Highness, don't you recognize me?" The hoarse, unfamiliar voice sounded, and in this situation, Princess Qingxin was so frightened that she couldn't remember when she had seen the person in front of her - her Blinking away tears, he looked at the soldiers beside the couch in panic - the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of wolf-like eyes.
She carefully looked at the other party's face covered with sand, and her memory was at a loss.
Seeing that Qingxin didn't remember him at all, the soldier let out a low laugh, like a night owl, and seemed to be talking to her and to himself: "Your Highness, you don't remember me? It's not surprising. We'll see each other soon." Once...I always remember His Highness!"
"I have never seen a strange man!" Princess Qingxin couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart, "Even though I was driven out to the people back then, I still wore a hat when leaving the palace... I was reinstated as a princess in the past two years and made several public appearances. , but I only go out when there is no one around... I know all the boys I met when I stayed at Prince Cai's Mansion, and they are definitely not them... Who is this person!"
The soldier smiled for a while and asked her: "Your Highness doesn't remember me, so do you remember Zhong, Xiao, and Yi?"
"Zhong Xiaoyi?!" One of Qingxin's father's favorite concubines during his lifetime was jealous of Huanzong's new favorite regicide. Of course Qingxin would not forget it - especially when Palace Maid Hu mentioned it to her just now - she stared at The soldier seemed to have remembered something, but after ten years, that memory had long been distant and faint to the point of being hard to find.
The soldier looked at her quietly and smiled strangely for a while: "Nobles often forget things. It seems that even if you mention eldest sister, Your Highness still can't remember it? Let me tell you for myself, my name is Zhong Jie. Ten years ago, my eldest sister came from The palace maid was given the title of Xiaoyi, and she missed her family. So your father, Emperor Huanzong, sent people all the way to Qingzhou to bring our family and my little sister to the imperial capital... At that time, Emperor Huanzong loved his eldest sister. , so he made an exception and summoned our family to the palace and made me an official... That day, you happened to be beside Emperor Huanzong, and he was holding him on his knees... I took my wife, girl, and little sister, and knelt down under the Golden Palace to give your father A big gift from a woman..."
Following his reminder, Qingxin gradually remembered what happened, and there was more fear in her eyes -
"Remember?" Zhong Jie had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of resentment. He slowly told, "My little sister was several years younger than you are now, but it's time to talk about others. Well... Our parents died early, and I, as the elder brother, had no ability to give her anything good before. Now that my eldest sister has become the imperial concubine, I think I can't let her down, and I have to find a good family for her. , she herself has taken a fancy to a young man from the Liu family. I think although my family was poor before, but my eldest sister is so popular with your father, the Liu family would not dare not give her face, right? I don’t want this marriage proposal to fail, but I That poor little girl was even forced to death..."
The Liu family of Donghu has been in the family for hundreds of years, what kind of glory is that? ! You are a commoner in Qingzhou. Let me put it bluntly, your eldest sister became Xiaoyi, which means she became the Queen Mother. It is also right for the Liu family not to want your daughter - the common people do not marry! And what does this matter have to do with me? How do I know that Liu Ruoye invited Zhong Li to the palace for a banquet in my name to humiliate her? !
Princess Qingxin had thousands of words to defend herself, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't say anything. She could only tremble with Zhong Jie's caress.
"For the sake of my younger sister, I went to ask my eldest sister to come forward and advise your father to punish the Liu family. But then I realized what the origin of the Liu family, which I thought was just a courtier no matter how noble it was..." Zhong Jie He made a roaring sound in his throat, and his expression gradually became distorted, "My little sister is not worthy of their young master - but so what? They have already refused to marry. If you feel humiliated by this kind of marriage proposal, tell me and let me come to your door." It's not like I can't apologize... Why... Why would you force my little sister to death for such a small thing? You know, there were originally eight of us brothers and sisters, even if the eldest sister sold herself into the palace to do it. My slave, the money I received allowed my little sister and I to survive..."
"Do you know? How happy was I when I heard that my eldest sister was still alive and became the emperor's concubine? At that time, my younger sister had already got engaged in Qingzhou, and her husband's family was quite well-off in the local area - after all, my eldest sister How could the younger sister be ugly if she wants to be a concubine? But her husband is really ugly. I didn't want to agree to it at first, but the family is really poor... The younger sister is sensible. She said that the bride price given by that family was large, so she I will keep it to marry her nephew later..."
Zhong Jie suddenly pulled out his hand and held his head in both hands, twitching in pain!
After a long time, he raised his head. His dark face was covered with sand and sweat. It was dirty and old. He grinned at Qingxin, who couldn't help but shed big tears: "If I had known later, I would have regretted my marriage... She married that farmer in Qingzhou, maybe she is still alive and well now, and the ground is full of children! I acted against my conscience in this matter. Although the son of that family was ugly, because my little sister was good-looking, she helped our family a lot after we agreed to get married... But later, after I returned the betrothal gift given by their family, I haven't paid back a penny for the things they usually send me... I feel guilty, I'm so scared of poverty! Even though the person who took us to Beijing gave me a large ingot of silver as soon as we arrived in Qingzhou, it was enough for me to pay back the money. All the favors are still there...but I still can't bear to part with it..."
"Do you know?!" Zhong Jie suddenly grabbed Qing Xin's hair and pulled Qing Xin up half of her body. He hit hard, causing Qing Xin to convulse in pain - but Zhong Jie turned a blind eye and said coldly, "When I left Qingzhou, I even locked the shabby thatched hut at home... The person who picked us up at that time had a surname... I guess it was Gu, right? The guard named Gu told me that I didn't need to worry so much. Anyway, the house was full of people. There was nothing. But I told him seriously that there was still half a jar of salt, a small piece of bacon and a few farm tools in the house... How could you say there was nothing? "
"Half a jar of salt, a small piece of bacon and a few sets of farm tools..." Zhong Jie muttered over and over again for a moment, smiled nervously, and threw Princess Qingxin back on the couch, "Do you know where that piece of bacon came from? Did you leave? It was marinated just before! The money given by the guard named Gu was enough to buy several pigs! But I couldn't bear it - I couldn't bear it! I stood outside the meat dump and asked the butcher to give it less... Later, the girl cried, and I nodded... Did you know that the piece of meat was not much bigger than your fist after it was marinated... My girl was drooling while watching me marinate it... I originally planned to eat it when my elder sister went back after watching it. …”
Zhong Jie suddenly stretched out his hand and tore Qingxin's clothes!
Qingxin's beautiful face was instantly distorted!
She was still sad that she had to serve Wen Yaozi, but instead of falling into Zhong Jie's hands, she would rather Wen Yaozi arrive now!
At this time, Princess Qingxin realized that what Palace Maid Hu said, "If you don't obey King Yong, don't say what King Yong will do to you in his anger, just say that he will reward you casually... By then, you may not be as good as King Yong." Even more unbearable”, how realistic and how reasonable it is!
But now... not only can she not call for help, she can't even chew her tongue to commit suicide...
"Do you know what I have experienced these years?" Zhong Jie glanced at her exposed delicate and porcelain skin. There was desire in his eyes, but more of them were malicious, "After the little sister left, I was told by the eldest sister Don't go out. Just stay in the house given by your father and live on your salary. But a few days later, my mother-in-law disappeared! I thought she was kidnapped or ran away with someone... But you know what happened next. When and where did you meet her?”
Zhong Jie said calmly, "Last year, when I was fighting against the soldiers, I passed by Donghu. I had a few extra coins in my hand, so I ran with a few brothers to find someone to vent my anger on... but I saw her, five cents apiece. Man... Hey... I slapped her half to death, and then I realized that she was abducted or ran away with someone. She was simply captured by the Liu family and sold to Donghu... After she told me the story, I asked her if she was okay, and then I answered. I had not yet decided whether to redeem her and continue to want her, or to let her go...but she hit the corner of the kang and died. "
"Do you know what happened to my girl?" Zhong Jie narrowed his eyes, stared at Qingxin, and said word by word, "After my mother-in-law disappeared, one day the girl made a fuss and wanted to go out to find her. I couldn't coax her, so I took her with me She went out and met the Liu family's carriage on the road. The eleventh lady of the Liu family was said to be named Ruoye, right? I will never forget it in my life! That Miss Liu Shiyi's maid stopped us and said that Miss Liu Shiyi wanted to see my girl... I couldn't refuse, so I had to comfort myself, she would never do anything to my girl in broad daylight. Poisonous hand?"
"Unexpectedly, my girl started crying after being carried into the carriage. The Liu family's maid sent her out and left without a word of explanation... I wanted to reason, but one of their servants came over and threw me Pushed and I fell to the ground..."
Zhong Jie said cheerfully, "The girl developed a fever after she came home. No matter how many doctors we called, she didn't get a good look. Later, a kind-hearted old doctor pulled me into a corner and advised me not to pay for it, because the girl was raped. I was force-fed some kind of cold poison that was unique to the Liu family... Except for the world-famous miracle doctor, it couldn't be cured at all - but Miracle Doctor Ji happened to go to Fengzhou at that time, so I hired a car and carried the girl there! Fengzhou rushed, wanting to kneel and die in front of Ruiyu Hall, always asking Doctor Ji to show mercy... Unexpectedly, the girl was too young, and she disappeared on the way! "
"Although I didn't know that my mother-in-law was also caused by the Liu family at that time, I also guessed that since the Liu family killed my girl in front of me, they would definitely not let me go, and they didn't dare to go back to the imperial capital to find my eldest sister, so I left her The carriage was sent back and he ran away... He became a hustler, a thief, and returned to his old job as a farmhand... Later, he lived in Yong County. When King Yong started an uprising, he joined the army just to make a living... "
Zhong Jie looked at Qing Xin, who was about to die from fear, and sighed: "You think it was the Liu family that harmed my family, and it has nothing to do with you? No, no, no... You are the emperor's daughter, how come it has nothing to do with you?! If it weren't for you?! My father has managed the world in a mess and allowed vicious people like the Liu family to do evil. How could my family have fallen into this state? And the death of my eldest sister - when my eldest sister was at home, she didn't even dare to kill a chicken. How dare you kill someone or regicide? It’s not the Liu family, it must be someone else... All in all, I have nothing left. I am really happy to be able to follow King Yong into the imperial capital and enter the palace again... "
"What I'm most happy about is seeing you. Emperor Xingping was brought in by General Liu, and it's not my turn. The rest of your royal family has almost died at the hands of the Rong people... But I heard people say that you are so good-looking. Now, King Yong will definitely accept you as his concubine, and maybe even Queen Qiu will have to be more polite to you in the future... "
While he quickly took off his armor and clothes, he murmured, "How can this work?! How can this work! You have caused me so much misery, and you still want to continue to be superior in the future? Just dream! Anyway, I have nothing - at most It’s just a word of death!”
On the dressing table, the candle silently dripped a few red tears! (To be continued)
