Fan Xian reacted quickly enough, rushed over like a shadow, threw Her Royal Highness the Princess to the ground, stretched out his fingers like the wind, forcibly sealed several main meridians around her wound with zhenqi in a flash. However, she still found that... a faint black air had slowly enveloped her Mingyan face.
The black dagger had been stuck in Li Yunrui's belly for a while, but it was covered by the wide sleeves, and Fan Xian did not see it. What shocked him even more was that His Royal Highness the Princess Princess stabbed the knife into his belly, and it was still alive. Talking to himself so freely, without revealing a trace of pain, he managed to hide it from his own eyes.
It was because of this period of time that the toxin had already flowed through her whole body with the blood, entered the heart, and surfaced faintly on her face. Even if Fei Jie appeared in the capital at this time, he could not save her life.
Fan Xian lowered his head, looking at the dagger on her belly at a loss, looking at the handle of the dagger, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, because it looked familiar. But this time was not the time to take care of these things, he held the eldest princess's shoulder with one hand, pressed her soft belly with the other, and poured in the Tianyi Supreme Mind Dharma inherited from Northern Qi without hesitation.
After a long while, the eldest princess, who had been silent for a long time and showed no trace of pain, finally frowned, looked at him with reproachful eyes, and said, "I just want to taste the pain and death, why do you bother me?" ?”
She has been aloof all her life. As the little princess of the royal family, she is doted on by her parents and elder brothers. Who would dare to make her suffer? Especially physically, apart from the empress dowager's four slaps and the emperor's fury during the thunderstorm night, Li Yunrui really didn't know what it was like to be so painful in his life.
This is really crazy. However, Fan Xian didn't have the time to argue with her, and silently poured out his true energy, forcing the toxins in her body to one place. Gradually, the light black color on Li Yunrui's face became thicker and thicker, but it gathered towards her temples again, and the skin on the rest of her face returned to the usual bright beauty.
Fan Xian snorted, and slapped her soft belly with his right palm, Li Yunrui's vermilion lips parted slightly. Immediately afterwards, his left hand reached into his arms like lightning, took out a pill, and stuffed it into her mouth.
He is very familiar with the poison on this dagger, because it was formulated by himself, so the pill took effect immediately. It's just that Li Yunrui covered it up for too long, the toxin had entered his heart, but he couldn't force it out.
Sweat poured out of Fan Xian's forehead, and he couldn't help but think of those movies and novels he watched in his previous life, those scenes that chilled his bones. He grabbed her shoulder tightly with his left hand, and shouted in a hissing voice. : "Where is Wan'er? Where's Dabao?"
In those stories, the male protagonist often finds painfully after the final victory that the enemy refuses to tell him where the relatives captured by him are hiding and whether they are dead, so as to torture the male protagonist lifetime.
Fan Xian was terrified by those gloomy film strips and the clutches on the fluorescent screen, his voice trembled, he completely forgot how he should react, and yelled at her angrily and helplessly.
…
…
Li Yunrui glanced at him mockingly, and twitched the tip of his eyebrows again. It seemed that all the poison on the dagger had been scattered into the body, and the sharp pain finally clearly began to attack her nerves.
She looked down at the black dagger stuck in her stomach, and said softly: "Don't always use your own cleverness and tricks, those are useless."
Fan Xian was cold all over, knowing what the princess said. The reason why this black dagger is so familiar to him is because he made this dagger himself. It is exactly the same as the dagger passed to him by Mr. Fei Jie when he was a child, and the medicine applied on it is exactly the same.
In today's world, there are a total of three such daggers, one hidden in Fan Xian's own boot, one hidden in the boot of the Third Prince Li Chengping, and one... hidden in Lin Dabao's boot. Among the people Fan Xian cared about, only the young Li Chengping and the silly Dabao had the least ability to protect themselves, so he carefully passed these two daggers to them, waiting for the last moment, to give the enemy the most astonishment. hit.
In the palace, Li Chengping used the black dagger to save his life, but Dabao's black dagger was in the hands of the eldest princess, in the belly of the eldest princess.
"You thought I would use Dabao to threaten you. When Dabao was by my side, you suddenly issued a command, and he pulled out his dagger and stabbed me..." Li Yunrui coughed up a trace of blood, and looked at Fan Xian sarcastically. , "Of course, no one will seriously search for a fat idiot, and no one will guard against him."
Li Yunrui's eyes gradually faded, and he said slowly: "You have been with Lin Dabao for the past few years, is it because of that moment? You told him that Lin Gong was killed by me, so he hates that man named Li Yunrui, and the world No one dares to call my name in front of this idiot, except you... "
She looked at Fan Xian like she was looking at an idiot: "Too many tricks, too complicated thinking, not grand at all."
Fan Xian was cold all over, he didn't expect his last move to be so ridiculous in the eyes of the opponent, and it was so easy to see through. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and begged in harmony: "Tell me where they are."
Li Yunrui didn't look at him, his body gradually became cold, his shoulders shrank subconsciously, and said: "I'm going to die, leaving Wan'er alone in the world to be bullied by men, what's the need?"
"She is my wife and I will protect her."
Li Yunrui looked at something nearby, and said with a trembling voice: "I wanted to kill your concubine, but I failed. But you will have many women in the future, why should I let Wan'er continue to suffer."
She turned her head, looked into Fan Xian's eyes quietly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't use her life to threaten you to become an ascetic monk..."
Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, and he stared blankly at the beautiful face in front of him. At this time, all the toxins had been concentrated on both sides of her temples, and along with her blood vessels, they turned into a few streaks of blue, just like two blue flowers with horns, with a kind of enchanting beauty.
Li Yunrui looked at him mockingly, slowly raised his right hand, and pulled Fan Xian over, leaning weakly on his shoulder, his face against his, and his body against his body, appearing extremely intimate. With this ambiguous gesture, she leaned into his ear and whispered, "Why did the Qin family rebel? Go ask Pingping, I can only guess."
The peerless beauty, even when she was about to die, still exhaled like blue, and the slightly warm breath sprayed on Fan Xian's ears, feeling extremely charming. Of course, Fan Xian didn't have any thoughts. He looked at the blue flower at the corner of the eyebrow that was close at hand, and listened to the voice that gradually came from his ears. pain.
Li Yunrui chuckled in his ear and said: "Although I am dead, I can leave His Majesty the most powerful enemy. I think Qing Kingdom would not be too boring without me."
Fan Xian's mouth was dry, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but he lowered his head a little dejectedly. Although he was silent, he still showed strong hesitation and bewilderment.
"This is your mother's courtyard back then. I wanted to burn it down, but I'd better leave it to you after thinking about it. This place is very beautiful. Most importantly, I think you need this place to understand something."
"You won't let me down." Li Yunrui took one last look at his good son-in-law, and said with a slight mockery: "Even Dabao, a fool, has to be used. In this world, there are only two such shameless and hypocritical people. One is Your Majesty. , one is you. So... I am very optimistic about you."
Fan Xian's whole body was already frozen at this moment, and he didn't listen to the last paragraph at all, but then, a strange noise came from behind him, which shocked him greatly. Turning around and looking, I saw that the flower tree behind Fang Canqin had moved, revealing a small hole below.
In the pit were Wan'er and Dabao. They were tied up tightly and their mouths were stuffed with cloth, so they couldn't speak at all. Wan'er's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Fan Xian with worried eyes. She was extremely anxious. When she found that Fan Xian was not injured, two lines of tears flowed down her face. Full of silly smiles.
Immediately afterwards, Wan'er discovered the mother in Fan Xian's arms, and also noticed the abnormal state of the mother, her eyes were suddenly filled with horror.
At this time, Fan Xian had already pushed away the eldest princess in his arms, rushed to the tree, lifted Wan'er and Dabao up, and with a flick of his finger, cut the ropes on the two of them.
Just out of the catastrophe, Wan'er didn't have time to take out the cloth strip in her mouth, rushed past Fan Xian, rushed to the side of the eldest princess, knelt beside her, and began to cry.
Fan Xian sighed inwardly, and was about to go over, but found that the corner of his clothes was being held back. Looking back, I saw that Dabao was pulling himself silly and cheerfully, as if he never wanted to let go. Fan Xian's feelings of guilt surged, and soon he felt a little sad.
Li Yunrui was pushed to the ground by Fan Xian, the toxin had already penetrated into her heart, and the two traces of toxin on her forehead became more and more green, matching her delicate and fair complexion, it was more like beautiful blue and white flowers on fragile porcelain .
It's just that the blue and white flowers... are all poisonous, just like her, even if she dies, more people will die in this world because of her few words.
Wan'er grabbed her mother's hand with one hand, took out the cloth strip stuffed in her mouth with the other, and burst into tears. Although this mother and daughter are very different from other mothers and daughters in the world, and their relationship is not very close, after all, blood is connected with each other. At the last moment, Li Yunrui did not choose to threaten Fan Xian with Wan'er's life, and Wan'er looked at her dying. My mother couldn't help feeling sad, and couldn't stop mourning and pain.
Li Yunrui held his daughter's hand tightly with his cold right hand, smiled with difficulty, raised his hand for the last time, and squeezed the corners of his lips, as if he wanted to maintain the most beautiful image when he left this world.
Her fingertips brushed over the bleak blue flower, matching the mocking smile on her lips.
I don't know who is laughing at. Maybe it was laughing that Fan Xian held himself in his arms before, and when he saw Wan'er, he pushed himself down on the grass in a cold-blooded way, or maybe it was thinking of that cowardly but affectionate nephew in the palace during the thunderstorm night, Maybe it's a story from my childhood many years ago.
Then she smiled contemptuously and said the last three words in this world.
"Man..."
…
…
Looking at the gradually icy body of the eldest princess on the grass, Fan Xian's heart also gradually became icy. He knew that the most powerful and vicious enemy in his life so far had finally ended her life, which was difficult to judge in her life. To be precise, from the matter of Yingzhi Dadongshan, to the final treason in Kyoto, to this dagger in the Taiping Courtyard, Li Yunrui just died in her own hands, and her heart died long ago.
This is a wonderful woman, a powerful woman. If Fan Xian didn't have that black box, he would have died in Yan Xiaoyi's hands long ago, and the entire situation in the capital would have already fallen under the control of the Eldest Princess.
However, she is a woman after all, not the most powerful person in the world. Compared with the unfathomable emperor who didn't know how to survive from Dadong Mountain, the eldest princess has one of the most fatal flaws, or in other words, she has one more life gate than your majesty - that is the word love.
Perhaps this feeling is absurd and awkward, but it is still love. Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death. When Yuan Haowen wrote these two sentences, he must have never imagined that there are too many people in this world who use practice to enrich the meaning of these two sentences.
There are even more idiotic children. The eldest princess is undoubtedly an idiot, but is she really defeated? From the perspective of Fan Xian, who was covered in cold all over at this time, it was not so. What she wanted to do in this life has basically been achieved, and what she whispered in Fan Xian's ear at the end, although she didn't point out anything, has already planted a poisonous flower in Fan Xian's heart.
Just like the poisonous blue and white flowers that appeared on the corners of her eyebrows at the last moment of her life.
Wan'er threw herself on the eldest princess and wept endlessly. Lin Dabao was behind Fan Xian, pulling the corner of his clothes, watching this scene nervously and perplexedly, thinking to herself, why is the younger sister crying when the princess's mother is sleeping
The eldest princess's face is still so beautiful, with long eyelashes and green sideburns, just like a sleeping beauty, waiting for someone to wake her up with a kiss.
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian was at a loss, and subconsciously uttered a somewhat unfamiliar word from his lips: "Je suis comme ye suis..."
This is a poem written by a Frenchman in the fourteenth century. He remembered some fragments of it when he watched a movie in his previous life. At this moment, those words reappeared in his mind, very clearly.
"That's how I am.
That's what I am.
I was born that way.
When I want to laugh, I just laugh.
I love people who love me, this should not be my shortcoming.
Every time I love someone, every time I will love them.
I am like this.
That's what I am.
I am a natural pleaser. And this cannot be changed.
I please people who make me happy, what can you do with that
I'm in love with someone, and someone is in love with me.
It's like kids falling in love.
…
…”
※※※
Kyoto is in the midst of the greatest chaos. Although the Ye family and the imperial army had beaten the Qin family into remnants, expelled them from the capital, and controlled the nine city gates, the situation in the capital was even more chaotic than before. When the two armies confronted each other before, the common people of Kyoto cowered and hid under the beds in their homes, not daring to make the slightest sound, but now the situation is breaking up, the panic-stricken citizens finally mustered up their courage and rushed towards the city gate in panic. go.
People in Kyoto often have their own poor relatives in the countryside outside the city. At such a dangerous moment, they naturally have to find ways to escape for refuge. Kyoto came to a looting.
Their concerns are not without reason. At least in the current capital, some remnant soldiers and some subordinates who are not strict in military discipline, while chasing each other, also started to rob and rob along the way. There was chaos in the streets and alleys, women screamed from time to time, and occasionally flames rushed into the sky.
The military discipline of the Qing army has always been strict, and this kind of chaos today is due to the inevitable bad consequences of war on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because this battle is an internal conspiracy. People, there is more or less an inexplicable sense of disillusionment in their hearts, and the darkest part of the human heart has begun to rise.
Gong Dian did not lead troops out of the city to pursue them, and immediately began to clean up the order in the entire capital, but the capital was too large, and it would not be possible to control it all in a short time. However, the people in Kyoto could not wait for General Gong's purge action. They knew very well the danger that the remnant soldiers would cause after the war, so they rushed to the gate of the city where Gong Dian himself was sitting, and the scene was chaotic.
The silent Fan Xian, with the help of a small group of Dingzhou Army and the Overwatch Council spies who came out to support him, returned to the capital through another city gate, and returned to his long-lost home.
He was not in a hurry to return to the palace, nor was he in a hurry to see Ye Zhong, but went back to Fan's residence directly. There was no time to comfort Wan'er, and he only briefly asked about the situation of his father and Prince Jing, then pulled Teng Zijing aside, and gave some serious instructions in a low voice.
Ever since the Fan Mansion was besieged, Fujiko Jing picked up the stick and organized the guards at home to meet the imperial edicts and harassment again and again. Fortunately, Fan Jian himself was not in the mansion, and the Fan mansion did not experience a major attack, and those remnant soldiers were no match for the people of the Fan mansion at all.
Fan Jian has always been very good at training soldiers.
Listening to the young master's order, Fujiko Jing turned serious and nodded heavily. He didn't ask the reason, and didn't dare to bring too many conspicuous servants of Fan's house, and rushed in the direction of Ershibalipo.
