Yan Shu didn't remember how he passed out while being tortured.
He only remembered that the torturer viciously pressed his head into the water, and the ice water choked into his throat, causing severe pain in his lungs, followed by the pain of suffocation.
After that, Yan Shu could only feel despair and coldness.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to twelve years ago, to the Palace of Imperial Physicians where the courtyard was covered with ginkgo leaves, and to the gentle and refined Yan Ziqing.
Scenes in memory flashed before Yan Shu's eyes one by one like a flashing lantern.
-
"Come here! The third prince has fallen into the water! Is Imperial Physician Yan here?!"
-
"See? This is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it can bring the dead back to life!"
-
"You... you are clearly a sane person, why... why..."
-
The final picture was frozen at dusk.
At that time, the third prince passed away in the gate of hell because he fell into the water. After being rescued by Yan Ziqing, he rested in the palace of imperial physicians for half a month.
It was also in the past half month that Yan Ziqing found out that the third prince had been pretending to be crazy.
After Yan Shu and Yan Ziqing sent away the third prince who was recuperating from illness, Xiao Yanshu couldn't help asking Yan Ziqing: "Father, why does the third prince pretend to be stupid?"
Yan Ziqing looked at the sky and said with emotion: "Eternal power schemes, how many ministers' blood are stained, the most is the family of the ruthless emperor, don't talk too much, don't think too much... Shuer, you must remember, you must never tell anyone about this, listen Reached?"
"Understood." Xiao Yanshu nodded obediently.
"What things can't be told to anyone? Then can I know?" Suddenly someone hugged Yan Ziqing from behind unexpectedly, which shocked him greatly.
"You, you, let me go!" Yan Ziqing blushed instantly, "Just in case someone sees you!"
The man put his arms around him facelessly: "It's okay, if you are seen, you will see it, so what? If I hug my own daughter-in-law, am I still violating the king's law?"
"Qin Jueming!" Yan Ziqing was annoyed.
Qin Jueming hastily let go of Yan Ziqing, raised his hands, and giggled impertinently.
Yan Ziqing looked at him helplessly.
"Father." Xiaoyan shouted.
Qin Jueming squatted down, ruffled little Yanshu's hair, and said with a smile, "Shu'er is good! Wait until foster father secretly takes you to buy candied haws!"
Suddenly the scene flickered.
In the pitch-dark room, Xiao Yanshu gently asked Qin Jueming who was squatting in front of him: "Is Daddy coming to pick me up?"
Qin Jueming was startled for a moment, then covered his face with his hands, fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
The scene flickered again.
In the same dark room, the man who fell to the ground and cried became Jackdaw Assassin.
That was the last Jackdaw Assassin related to Yan Ziqing's death that year, and the other four assassins had already died because of Qin Jueming.
The assassin fell to the ground, begging Qin Jueming to let him live.
Qin Jueming turned a deaf ear, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, was spattered with blood all over his body.
Yan Shu only found out about Qin Jueming killing the five jackdaw assassins after he became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
What puzzled Yan Shu was that, all these years, Qin Jueming had been telling him not to take Yan Ziqing's death seriously, and taught him to put aside his hatred, focus on righteousness, and realize Lan Yin early.
But Qin Jueming himself made the ground a prison, and gave everything to bring down Han Ya.
One day when returning to Shuofang, Yan Shu couldn't help asking Qin Jueming: "Why? Why does my adoptive father always tell me not to resent anyone, but I have never been able to let go of this deep hatred?"
Qin Jueming smiled at him, with a tragic smile, he said softly.
"Shu'er, look..."
"I turned into a person with blood on my hands like Han Ya."
-
Consciousness slowly returned to Yan Shu's body, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the red silk soft tent in front of him with some confusion.
"Ah?! Yan Shu, are you awake?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Yan Shu's ear with joy.
Yan Shu's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and he turned his head to look.
Li Changtian approached Yan Shu, touched Yan Shu's forehead, and let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the fever has subsided, I'm afraid you will be fooled by the fever."
A trace of confusion flickered in Yan Shu's eyes.
He remembered that he had obviously fallen into the trap of the Jackdaw, was imprisoned, and was being tortured.
Why is the name Li Changtian in front of him in an unknown house when he opened his eyes, is it real or not
Seeing Yan Shu's suddenly wary and cautious expression, Li Changtian knew that he thought of Ah Wu, so he explained: "Yan Shu, I'm Li Changtian, it's really me, if you don't believe me, let me show you the scratch marks on my lower abdomen !” Li Changtian said as he was about to undress.
Li Changtian lowered his head, Yan Shu suddenly saw something, and quickly reached out to stop him: "No need, it's you."
"Huh?" Li Changtian was wondering how he recognized him, when Yan Shu reached out and stroked his forehead.
There was a wound that Yan Shu knocked out with a wooden pillow.
"I'm sorry, I..." Yan Shu's eyes were full of self-blame and distress.
"It's okay, little injury!" Li Changtian grinned.
Fuck! etc!
Li Changtian suddenly thought of something.
If Yan Shu remembers hitting himself with a wooden pillow after waking up halfway, and then pulling his clothes to see the scratches.
He wouldn't remember the medicine feeding, would he? !
Li Changtian's expression became unnatural in an instant, his eyes wandered, he covered his lips and coughed lightly, and asked forcefully, "Then what, Yan Shu, do you still remember... um... about taking medicine... um..."
"Take medicine?" Yan Shu looked confused.
"Don't you remember?" Li Changtian asked.
"Did I hurt you again?" Yan Shu panicked.
"No no, you didn't hurt me, it's okay, don't take it to heart." Li Changtian heaved a sigh of relief.
"Where is this?" Yan Shu propped himself up and sat up on the bed. He had just recovered from a serious illness, and his voice was still a little weak.
"Here, here." Li Changtian guiltily avoided Yan Shu's questioning gaze, and replied stammeringly, "This is my sister's residence."
"Your sister?" Yan Shu became more and more confused, "When did you have a sister?"
"Yeah." Li Changtian nodded, "That day when we parted, you left your purse behind, so I took it to look for you, and it turned out..."
Li Changtian told Yan Shu everything about his encounter with Li Qiushui.
Yan Shu was puzzled: "Then why am I here? I clearly..."
"Yan Shu, are you thirsty? May I pour you a glass of water?" Li Changtian interrupted Yan Shu's question abruptly, and said courteously.
Yan Shu raised his head and stared at Li Changtian closely, as if he realized something.
Li Changtian felt uncomfortable being watched by Yan Shu.
After a long time, Yan Shu looked away, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Li Changtian inexplicably had the illusion of narrow escape, he breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of whether Yan Shu responded, he quickly poured a glass of water for Yan Shu.
"Come, Yan Shu, drink water." Li Changtian sat on the side of the bed and handed the water glass to Yan Shu.
Yan Shu didn't answer, he raised his head slowly, and asked with a flat face, "Li Changtian, what do you want to know from me?"
Li Changtian asked in confusion, "Ah? What?"
"Then let me put it another way." Yan Shu's tone was calm, "What does the Jackdaw want to know from me?"
Li Changtian's breathing stopped suddenly, and his whole body was as stiff as a stone.
"This is Tianque Villa, right?" Yan Shu asked lightly, "When I was caught, I broke free from the sack and bumped into Mr. Shen Yushu by chance, so I guessed that I should be someone who was trapped in Tianque Villa. place."
"I was wondering why you and Mr. Shen Yushu hit it off right away and have such a close relationship." Yan Shu continued, "It's obvious that you two have only known each other not long ago, so you already knew about Jackdaw's hiding in Tianque Villa."
"No." Li Changtian said in a panic, "Me and Yushu, it's just...just..."
Just what, Li Changtian couldn't say or explain clearly.
"Li, Chang, God." Yan Shu finally couldn't hold back anymore, his calmness was completely shattered, his eyes were full of disappointment and grief, so much so that his words trembled, "You...have you been lying to me? Since when? It started? Baidi City? Shuofang? Could it be... Chuyu Town?"
As if to confirm Yan Shu's words, just after he finished speaking, the door of the wing was pushed open.
Ah Wu walked in.
He walked up to Li Changtian with strides, gave Yan Shu a domineering and condescending look, and then asked Li Changtian, "Did you give him the cartilage pill?"
"Ruan... Cartilage pills?" Li Changtian was still in a panic when Yan Shu questioned him, so he didn't react.
Ah Wu frowned, and cursed: "You really are a fool! I knew people couldn't let you go! You still have to put him in a cage!"
After finishing speaking, Ah Wu went to grab Yan Shu's skirt.
As soon as Ah Wu stretched out his hand, someone grabbed his wrist.
Li Changtian stopped Ah Wu, frowning slightly: "Don't touch him, I'll give him cartilage pills later."
Ah Wu was startled for a moment, then he threw away Li Changtian's hand abruptly, and sneered a few times mockingly: "Okay, okay, Li Changtian, you're not stupid now, are you? Dare to stop me, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Ah Wu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Changtian's neck with lightning speed. He lowered his voice, his tone was threatening and cold: "Li Changtian, if I push you off the cliff, if you If you dare to say a word to the princess, even if I die, I will definitely kill you, do you hear me?"
Yan Shu frowned, and was about to get up, but saw Li Changtian holding Ah Wu's wrist and pressing down hard. When Ah Wu was in pain and had to let go, Li Changtian twisted his arm again, and then pressed him on the ground. up the wall.
In an instant, Li Changtian reversed the situation.
"My life? Why don't you weigh yourself first?" Li Changtian raised his eyebrows, "Brother, what kind of grudge do I have with you? As for being so cruel, push me off the cliff? Before you threaten me, at least you have to Let me figure out the main contradiction, won't you?"
"What hatred and resentment?" Ah Wu laughed angrily, "Why did I push you off the cliff, don't you know? Li Changtian, because you are a useless fool, without you, the princess would not be under the control of Han Ya If it weren't for you, I would have taken the princess to escape from Beidi long ago, and escaped all kinds of disputes, all because of you! It's all because of taking care of you, a fool, that the princess didn't want to leave! Now you are sane and the first What happened was that they made a big fuss in the prison, intending to take Mr. Han's prisoners away to embarrass the princess!"
"Li Changtian, why don't you ask me why you are a grudge against me, why don't you ask yourself why you have been dragging the princess down, Li Changtian, why don't you just die under the cliff? Why do you want to come back to life? You answer me Ah Li Changtian, why?!"
