It has been a day since Zhao Jinyu woke up. She was placed in an exquisite room, just like in the Zhao family mansion before. The branches were chirping, the sunlight came in through the half-opened windows, and a layer of hazy optical fibers reflected everything like a dream.
Zhao Jinyu rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help thinking, the hell-like scene before should be just a dream, right
The grandmother didn't die, and Zhao Ruizhi didn't run away selfishly, but was caught and humiliated... Those maids are also good.
The surroundings were quiet and the sun was so beautiful, Zhao Jinyuwen closed her eyes to feel the warm sunshine, thinking that she must be dreaming, and after a while Pearl would come over and ask her what she wanted for breakfast in the morning.
Yes, it must be so, Zhao Jinyu lay back down again.
At this moment, a strange female voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Miss, are you awake?"
Zhao Jinyu's whole body was tense, and she saw a woman in her thirties came in with a tray in her hand, on which were steaming hot porridge and a few side dishes. , the remaining side dishes are also emerald green pickled cucumbers, white shredded radish, and tender red dates, which look appetizing.
"Who are you?"
The woman bowed her knees and saluted, but the tray in her hand remained motionless. She said expressionlessly, "Slave Zhuanglian, you saw your slave yesterday."
Memories flooded into her mind suddenly like a tide, Zhao Jinyu suddenly grabbed her neck, it was empty, and there was no longer the stone that followed her all the time.
Zhao Jinyu suddenly hugged her head and moaned in pain
She remembered, but the memory in her mind was unbelievable. Last night after An Wenyao picked her up on the horse, she passed out. When she woke up again, she found that it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the sky was full Her belly was white, her surroundings were damp, and a strong coldness invaded her limbs. She was surrounded by Tian Guijiao who were chasing after them, and they were surrounded by water. The people who came here at one time were obviously different from those brought by Gao Zhen. They were all extremely powerful, and they used crowd tactics, but An Wenyao showed signs of defeat after a while.
The dark guard led Zhao Jinyu back all the way, who knew that when he came to a cliff, the wind howling behind him made his sleeves rattle, and his hair covered his face, as if he had come to the intersection of the underworld, the road ahead was life. , a step back is a dead end.
An Wenyao spat out a mouthful of blood. He has experienced countless things in his life, but he has never been in a situation like this. To put it bluntly, it was because he was too careless... plus he met an old enemy who was in the palace. All the coincidences have converged into an irreversible path.
Master Xu Xiang showed a smug smile, wiped the beads of sweat from his brow, and said, "If you are sensible, come here quickly and catch them without a fight. I think I will treat you preferentially in terms of past friendship." Then he rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you have a strange stone in your hands, which His Majesty the Emperor has been looking for, so bring it to me as well."
An Wenyao's heart sank, and he said, "I don't even know what you're talking about."
"Come on, you know that even if we leave the palace, there are still informants inside... I was already watching you when your brother came here out of nowhere. Otherwise, why do you think I came so timely? Hurry up and get that girl Give it to me together with the stone!" Xu Xiangzhu said impatiently and said directly.
Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but feel that she was holding the stone in her hand, her teeth were chattering, but she was thinking in her heart, does this stone... really have any relationship with the emperor in the palace
She didn't believe what Shitou said before, but now that she thinks about it..., what he said about the emperor should be true, Zhao Jinyu couldn't help laughing bitterly when she thought of this, at this moment she was still wondering if Shitou had lied to her!
At this moment Shitou seemed to have a tacit understanding with Zhao Jinyu and said, "Jinyu, hand me over, and someone will take you out while they are distracted." Then he turned to the cold An Wenyao Said, "An Wenyao, can you do it?"
An Wenyao said in shock, "Then you..." He didn't dare to address the emperor in front of Zhao Jinyu, because the emperor hadn't shown any intention of revealing his identity until now, although he felt that the truth is now only a window away from the window up.
"Miss, miss?" Zhuanglian's worried voice came from next to her ear, bringing Zhao Jinyu, who was immersed in memory, back to reality.
As soon as Zhao Jinyu raised her head, she saw a man who had rushed over at some unknown time. He was tall and thin, wearing a moon-white robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as mountains, with a breeze and a bright moon.
Zhao Jinyu stared at him blankly.
But he showed an anxious look, and said, "Jinyu, Jinyu... what's wrong with you?" After speaking, he was about to step forward and hug Zhao Jinyu's body.
Zhao Jinyu avoided her body indifferently.
The doctor nodded to the man, indicating that there was nothing wrong with taking the pulse just now, the man showed a relieved look, and nodded slightly to the doctor.
"You all go out."
But after a while, only Zhao Jinyu and the man were left in the room. The man habitually sat beside Zhao Jinyu, raising his hand high to caress her black hair, but after seeing her indifferent and alienated eyes, he felt helpless. Sighing, he put his hand down and said, "Are you still angry with brother?"
Yes, this person is Zhao Jinyu's elder brother Zhuang Qing.
Zhao Jinyu looked away and said, "When will you send me back?"
With a sad look in Zhuang Qing's eyes, she said, "Jinyu, it's still chaotic outside. After everything subsides... I will send you back."
"You are lying, you are just like that Master Xu Xiang, just to get that stone." Zhao Jinyu said, tears bursting down his face, "The stone is broken! What else do you want? Do you want me to die in front of you? "
Memories of the night flooded into my heart like a tide. Stone let Zhao Jinyu go first in order to lure Xu Xiangzhu away. Who knew that after Xu Xiangzhu got the stone, he changed his mind. He said with a cold face, "Zhao Jinyu, I didn't want to kill you, but You shouldn't be alive, because you are dragging others down." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and there was a small quiver hidden in the sleeves, which was a hidden weapon, shooting small arrows from the sleeves.
The situation was extremely dangerous at that time, the little arrow was very close to Zhao Jinyu, and An Wenyao and others had no time at all... At this moment, the stone suddenly jumped up and blocked the arrow without hesitation. The arrow was blocked, but he himself Broken into pieces.
This time was different from the last time, the whole thing was shattered, and it couldn't be put back into its original shape.
Master Xu Xiang's eyes were shining when he saw the stone jumping up, so when he found that the stone was broken, he was heartbroken. He was so angry that he wanted to throw Zhao Jinyu directly under the cliff. If Zhuang Qing hadn't arrived in time, It is estimated that Zhao Jinyu will not live until now.
"Jinyu!"
"You left me in a lonely house, and I was the only one there. At night, the wind howled and the windows slammed. I was so scared that I didn't sleep well for several nights!" Zhao Jinyu shed tears, Said, "Even so, I still feel that you and mother have difficulties, but who knows that you have become a fairy of Tiangui Sect!"
"I... Jinyu, listen to brother's explanation."
"What's there to explain?" Zhao Jinyu wiped her tears vigorously with her sleeves, her face turned red but she didn't feel the pain, because her heart hurts even more now, "If only a few months ago, I would still listen to the tears." Your explanation, even if my brother is lying to me, I am willing, but now..., brother, I am no longer the Jinyu I used to be, and I am not your sister anymore. My name is Zhao Jinyu, but I am the eldest lady of the Zhao family in Hangzhou , has nothing to do with you."
"Grandmother is gone, and the stone is broken. It's all caused by your Heavenly Guild! Zhuang Qing, from now on, you and I will be unequal enemies!" Zhao Jinyu's eyes were blazing with hatred.
Zhuang Qing only felt the pain in his heart as if being dug with a knife. He couldn't help thinking, he knew this day would come, why did he still feel so uncomfortable
Zhao Jinyu continued, "I just don't understand why Gao Zhen said he wanted to arrest me? But Master Xu Xiang wanted to kill me? Don't they two belong together?"
Zhuang Qing smiled wryly and said, "Master Xu Xiang is mine... Actually, I dragged you down. Gao Zhen wanted to arrest you not only because you broke the sacrificial ceremony last time, but also because my uncle wanted to arrest you and threaten you. For me, because he and I are already irreconcilable in teaching."
Zhao Jinyu quickly understood, "And Master Xu Xiang thinks that because I am a woman who ruined the sacrificial ceremony, you don't distinguish between public and private, so I want to wish you a helping hand. Instead of letting me be caught in front of your uncle, it's better to just end it directly." Am I?"
Zhuang Qing nodded guiltily and said, "That's right."
Zhao Jinyu sneered, "Then why do you keep me? Why don't you kill me directly, or dedicate me to your leader, which can not only show your loyalty, but also deter your little uncle, letting him know that you are not something he can easily control." Yes, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”
"Jinyu!" Zhuang Qing's face was full of pain, she couldn't help clenching her fists, and said, "Don't be like this, okay? My brother has no choice but to do so."
"Abandon me as a last resort? Use your mother's death as a last resort to consolidate your position? Murder and set fire as a last resort, commit all kinds of evil? Rebellion as a last resort?" Zhao Jinyu said here tears blurred her vision, "My grandmother died, so I The stone I like is also broken, I have nothing to love in life, if there is anything to worry about..., it is my father, I have done so much just to save him, but in the end nothing has been achieved."
"Jinyu, stop talking, brother feels bad"
