In the sky prison, cold sweat broke out on Hua Qingxue's forehead, and there was no trace of blood on her pale face. She huddled in the corner, her eyes closed tightly, and murmured from time to time.
She started having nightmares again.
It was still the same nightmare. The woman in the dream seemed to look a little clearer.
This time Hua Qingxue could see the outline of her face clearly, and a very familiar feeling began to spread in her heart. She could only see her outline clearly, but her facial features could not be seen clearly, as if they were covered with a layer of Fog, blurry.
The woman stretched out her hands and pinched her neck tightly.
Hua Qingxue's breathing became a little unsmooth, and she stepped back step by step while struggling, until she had no way to retreat, and behind her was the railing of the rooftop.
"Go to hell, I will die with you and atone for your sins!"
The woman's angry voice stimulated the nerves in her brain. She shook her head desperately and kept mumbling: "Don't... don't..."
Suddenly her body was suspended in the air and she fell straight down, tears from the corners of her eyes instantly scattered in the air.
"Don't... no! Don't!" Hua Qingxue sat up suddenly, panting heavily. She didn't fully wake up until she saw the bars of the cage in front of her clearly.
She felt a little cold on her face, raised her hand to touch it, and found that her face was full of tears.
Hua Qingxue covered her chest, still feeling hesitant.
This time the feeling was stronger than before. It was no longer panic, but...sadness.
Why is this happening
She vaguely felt that this woman must be the person she was most familiar with, otherwise she would not be so sad.
"Cough cough cough..." There was another cough.
Hua Qingxue hugged her body, could she wait until Fu Tingye came back
This deserted place tortured not only her body, but also her spirit. Facing the boundless darkness, she told herself again and again, don't be afraid, Fu Tingye will come and save her.
But in fact, even she herself didn't know when Fu Tingye would come back. Even if he came back, would she still be there
She didn't know and didn't dare to think about it. She couldn't help but feel sad. Her head began to hurt. Without Lu Zhengqing here, she was afraid that something would happen to her. The pain from her head made her extremely miserable. Every time she had a nightmare, she would have a headache. A little heavier.
…
"What do you want from me?" Tang Yu looked at the left prime minister in front of him indifferently.
"There has been a sharp rise in prices in the market. You know this, right." The Prime Minister did not look at him, but drank his own tea.
"Then what?" Tang Yu asked.
Prime Minister Zuo glanced at him and said, "Mutual restraint."
"What if I don't do it?" Tang Yu looked at him sideways, his eyes cold.
"boom."
The tea cup in Zuo Xiang's hand was placed heavily on the table and he looked at him with cold eyes.
"To you, am I an item of yours or a commodity?" Tang Yu asked expressionlessly.
The Prime Minister Zuo paused, then frowned: "I hope you can get things done!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
"I have a condition." Tang Yu suddenly said.
After listening to this, Prime Minister Zuo stopped there without speaking.
"Save Mrs. Si Bing." Tang Yu looked at him with a pair of cold eyes without any emotion.
When Zuo Xiang heard this request, his brows deepened. He turned around and said, "Ms. Si Bing belongs to Fu Tingye. You'd better recognize your identity."
Tang Yu's hand holding the wine glass tightened a little, and his knuckles turned white. "Then will you save me or not?"
"Are you threatening me?" Prime Minister Zuo's face instantly sank, showing sullenness.
"If you think it is, then it is." Tang Yu raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, without any emotion on his face.
Zuo Xiang looked at him quietly. The familiar face in front of him suddenly made him trance, and then he quickly covered up the fleeting emotion.
"Okay, I hope you can do things beautifully."
After saying that, the left minister turned around and left the room, walking hastily.
Tang Yu didn't miss the flash of disgust in his eyes when he turned around. Was it just because he was the son of a singer? Just because his mother shamelessly climbed into his bed
Tang Yu raised the corners of his mouth mockingly.
He poured a glass of wine into his white jade cup and drank alone.
Once upon a time, he really wanted to get something, but the harder he tried to fight for it, the farther away that thing was from him. Time had passed, and now that he was in contact again, he found that he didn't seem to need it anymore...
"Sir, the wine has gone cold." The boy watched him drink half a bottle of wine and said, "Sir, let me heat it up for you."
"When the wine is cold, let it be cold." Tang Yu smiled and said in a calm tone.
"Sir..." The boy couldn't bear to see him like this, with worry on his face.
"I'm fine. You go down first and bring me a bottle of wine."
"Yes, sir..."
…
The left prime minister came back and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw an uninvited guest.
"Chen Yuan has met Zuo Xiang." Chen Yuan greeted Zuo Xiang with a cynical smile.
Prime Minister Zuo was slightly surprised. After all, he was a popular person around the Queen Mother. He didn't want to get too close to such a person.
"Prime Minister Zuo, this man has been waiting for you at the door for a long time." When the boy at the door saw him coming back, he quickly ran over to explain the situation.
Prime Minister Zuo nodded, then looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Since Mr. Chen is here, let's go in and sit down."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Chen Yuan smiled and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion without waiting for the left prime minister.
Prime Minister Zuo didn't care and walked slowly inside.
"Go and ask someone to bring a pot of tea." After the two of them entered the study, Zuo Xiang ordered the housekeeper.
Chen Yuan looked at the study room. All the books and ink were arranged neatly, with a pair of words hanging above them.
"The words above were probably written by you." Chen Yuan watched with interest, with a hint of respect in his words.
"You have good taste." Zuo Xiang touched his gray beard and said, "Come, sit down."
The butler brought the prepared tea, stepped back, and closed the study door.
Chen Yuan picked up the exquisite porcelain cup and took a sip of tea.
so bitter…
Chen Yuan frowned and couldn't help but want to stick out his tongue.
The left prime minister obviously noticed and asked: "What's wrong?"
Chen Yuan shook his head and put the tea cup back on the table, "It's okay."
"What are you talking about with me today?" Zuo Xiang got to the point directly, with a pair of sharp eyes flashing. Although he has entered old age, those eyes are still bright.
"I wonder what Zuo Xiang thinks about the affairs between the DPRK and China?" Chen Yuan did not beat around the bush.
"What's going on in the imperial court? How can I, an old man in my sixties, have any insights?"
"But now the Queen Mother listens behind the curtain, the Emperor's power is weak, and the Liao army invades the border. Da Qi is suffering from internal and external troubles." Chen Yuan said, with a sad expression on his face.
"What about you? The Queen Mother's confidant." Prime Minister Zuo looked at him meaningfully.
Chen Yuan paused and smiled coquettishly.
Seeing him like this, the Prime Minister Zuo smiled and said, "If the Queen Mother sent you here to win over me, then there is no need."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan was silent for a while, and then asked: "What if it is the emperor?"
Prime Minister Zuo's expression became a little solemn, and he frowned at Chen Yuan: "Master Chen, what do you mean?"
"Zuo Xiang's heart is like a clear mirror, why bother pretending to be confused while pretending to understand?" Chen Yuan put away his playful smile and put on a steady look.
"I'm really not used to Mr. Chen being so serious." Zuo Xiang said with a smile, not answering Chen Yuan's words.
Chen Yuan couldn't help cursing in his heart: He is such an old fox, distracting from the main point after just a few words.
Without getting a definite answer, Chen Yuan returned without success.
After he left angrily, the housekeeper walked in from outside and asked with concern: "Prime Minister, this Chen Yuan..."
Prime Minister Zuo stood at the door of the study with his hands behind his back, silently watching Chen Yuan's retreating figure without saying a word.
…
Lu Zhengqing has been asking about Hua Qingxue's situation.
He knew a few colleagues who were close friends at the Tai Hospital, but after asking for many days, everyone seemed to know nothing, which made him very powerless.
Lu Zhengqing was dejected and ready to leave, when someone suddenly called him from behind.
"Masakiyoshi."
"Doctor Zhang?" Lu Zhengqing followed the voice and looked over, bowing his hands politely.
"Why did you come here today?" Doctor Zhang asked curiously. Lu Zhengqing was no longer working in the hospital. At first, he thought he had recognized the wrong person, but the figure looked like Lu Zhengqing, so he called out, I didn't expect it was really him.
"I originally wanted to inquire about Si Bing's wife." Lu Zhengqing sighed, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, "But there is no news."
"Mrs. Si Bing?" Doctor Zhang couldn't help but frowned. No wonder Lu Zhengqing appeared in this place. It turned out to be for Mrs. Si Bing.
"Does Doctor Zhang know anything?" Lu Zhengqing asked, his eyes anxious.
Doctor Zhang was looking at him like this and couldn't bear to refuse: "I don't know much about it. I just heard some things when I occasionally visited the clinic..."
"Doctor Zhang, please tell me!" Lu Zhengqing grabbed his arm excitedly, "Just tell me everything you know. I promise not to leak it! And I won't implicate you!"
Doctor Zhang looked around nervously, and when he saw no one was there, he whispered a few words in Lu Zhengqing's ear.
"Is everything you said true?" Lu Zhengqing's face turned slightly pale.
"It's all true." Doctor Zhang nodded.
"Thank you today." Lu Zhengqing bowed gratefully.
"Go back quickly. There are many people here, so be careful." Dr. Zhang ordered.
Now that the Queen Mother is so powerful, everyone has to live with caution.
"I understand, thank you!" Lu Zhengqing had mixed emotions in his eyes. He also knew that if someone saw him, he might be in trouble, so he turned around and left in a hurry.
When he returned, Luo Muyu was waiting for him with his child in his arms.
When Luo Muyu saw Lu Zhengqing coming back, he immediately came over with the child in his arms, "How is it? Did you find out anything?"
"Finally I got some clues." Lu Zhengqing's voice was low and his expression was solemn. It seemed that things were not simple.
