Qi Jiulu remained motionless, like a lifeless statue. He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses, and with a hoarse voice, he tentatively shouted: "Ahuang?"
There was no response from the stone chamber.
He touched the key at his waist uneasily, as if he was telling Yun Fenghuang, and at the same time he seemed to be convincing himself, "Do I want to trick him into opening the door? I've been playing with that leg since I was a kid, and he didn't care about me in the past. , I can't let you continue to mess around that time... I actually didn't take that pill at all, it was not the stuff that passed through the Queen's leg. I was so suspicious, how could it be... I stopped making trouble, just say something, he... I beg him not to Take me to see Gong Xiangxiao?"
Listening carefully, the stone room was completely silent, as if there was no one at all, not even the sound of breathing.
Qi Jiulu knew that it was unusual for him not to hear breathing due to the shield of the stone gate, but his expression changed uncontrollably. He walked back and forth in front of the stone gate, constantly testing and persuading Yun Fenghuang to respond to him.
From the little moments when the two were young to the promises they made after they first fell in love, it was very painful and hard work during the three years of separation... He talked over and over again, but Yun Fenghuang remained indifferent.
Before, he stood still and looked at Shimen with a heavy gaze.
Then without any warning, he split the wooden table next to him with a palm!
"Not like that! Not like that!!!" Qi Jiulu laughed angrily, "From childhood to adulthood, from childhood to adulthood - I'm wrong, he obeys me in everything, not because he is willing to obey me, not because I always have a way to make him have to listen to me!!!"
"Were you like that when you were a kid?"
"Peacock Poe is like that!"
"Is it the same this time - if I just want to suppress him and be the master of the country, why not let him let me live my whole life?!"
"But how can I use my life as a bargaining chip to blackmail him?!!!"
"What did I take him for?!!"
He roared angrily and smashed everything in sight hysterically - because the place was too remote and close to the Chunban Villa built by the Queen Mother for the emperor, after the squire was brought to justice, almost no one came there, and all the furnishings were there. It was true that Du Langu had left Dong Lai when he brought people over for verification. Apart from the simple tables and chairs, the most common ones were various instruments of torture.
Qi Jiulu vented his anger, and after smashing all the utensils to pieces, he realized that his legs and arms were dripping with blood. Didn't you just notice that there was a blade in one of the torture instruments? After all, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Even when he lost his mind, his body still had the ability to protect itself. He gave in at the critical moment, but he still got three scratches. An inch long opening.
The blood soaked the sleeves, and the azure material embroidered with plum blossom and lotus patterns was soaked into black, which looked dazzling and scary.
Qi Jiulu looked down, the expression in his eyes changing, but he didn't mean to bandage himself, so he said in a deep voice to himself, "Ahuang, he is injured, am I trying to pretend?"
The stone chamber was still as quiet as death.
He stood expressionless for a while, and then he laughed miserably. The louder he laughed, the louder the sound echoed throughout the room. At first, it turned into a sob, "He asked me to leave, and I'll say a word, okay?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't respond.
Qi Jiulu's complexion, which was flushed with anger, turned pale red again. He trembled his legs and picked up the bunch of keys from his waist that he had hung just a moment ago - under the personal supervision of his parents since he was a child, his wrists were counted every month. The stable legs that he had practiced little by little seemed to have disappeared at this moment. He grabbed the lock and made mistakes three or four times before he could insert the key into the keyhole.
Because he knew that Yun Fenghuang was quick and quick, for the sake of safety, he placed seven locks on the door, and now he opened them one by one. Each time he opened one, it was as if he was stabbing himself.
He thought numbly and sadly, why would he want such a cruel person in this life
Childhood sweethearts, they had agreed to get married, and they knew clearly that he would reject her after everything he did, but how could they bear to force her to death? !
Qi Jiulu didn't want to know Hong, nor did he want to know Hong. He knew that after losing that time, he was afraid that the relationship between him and her would never go back to the past.
The reason why Yun Fenghuang was able to design it so easily that time was because she entered the palace in a hurry and had no one around to help her. She knew that Xile might not be reliable but had to rely on Zhong. What's more, Yun Fenghuang Trust him.
Xi Lefu was one of the team prepared for him by Gong Xiangxiao's family.
There is a big reason why Yun Fenghuang dared to dig into Gong Xiangxiao's corner. Gong Xiangxiao relied heavily on Qi Jiulu.
So even if Xile pretended to obey her but reported it to Gong Xiangxiao privately, there would be no consequences.
Because Yun Fenghuang firmly believed that his status in Qi Jiulu's mind was enough for Gong Xiangxiao to choose to settle the matter - the prince could have acquiesced to the matter if he didn't want to deny Xile and cause Qi Jiulu to have a grudge against him.
However, after this...
Will Yun Fenghuang continue to trust him like that
Qi Jiulu listened to the soft click of the last lock core and smiled to himself: Although they were raised by the same mother from infancy, Yun Fenghuang's temperament was completely different from that of his concubine Xie Fenghuan.
Xie Fenghuan was gentle and demure, with a soft temperament, self-denial and forbearance, very sincere in making mistakes about people and things, and had no scheming... It could even be said that she was quite naive until her death.
Yun Fenghuang, on the other hand, is cunning and clever. She seems to be well-behaved, but in fact she is strong and stubborn. She must retaliate, but she is also suspicious and jealous. After Xie Fenghuan's accident, her suspicions got out of control. She had only one person as her closest attendant in the Imperial Capital for three years. Nian Xuan, who is not very smart, is the most striking example.
The maid who grew up together, her body is in her lap, and her family's life is in Jiang's lap. Yun Fenghuang is still suspicious and refuses to trust her, let alone others
There were only a handful of people in this life who could be trusted by her.
Qi Jiulu was originally one of them. It could even be said that besides his mother Jiang, he was the one Yun Fenghuang trusted the most - but that trust has suddenly disappeared.
In the future, Yun Fenghuang might be willing to see him, might be willing to find him, might be willing to ask him for various requests...
But she would no longer take it for granted that he would be on her side as before.
The friendship cultivated by spending more than ten years together day and night, and the faith that has been supported by more than a thousand moonlight nights over the past three years, are all broken in the bright moon.
Qi Jiulu was heartbroken with pain and closed his eyes before pushing open the stone door.
Behind the door, Yun Fenghuang fell to the ground, her eyes closed tightly, motionless. For a moment, Qi Jiulu suspected that she had lost her breath.
I don't know why, but he didn't immediately rush to check, nor did he feel that the sky was falling down for the first time, but instead, Dong consciously breathed a sigh of relief.
An uncontrollable thought came to her: After wandering around for so long, would she be with Ahuang? She didn't like going to the forest in the south of the Yangtze River outside the pass, but it seemed like Donghuang Spring would be nice too
"... After all, I won!" Qi Jiulu just stood on the threshold and looked at her. For a moment, he laughed miserably again and said to himself, "Knowing whether I am such a cruel person, knowing whether I am intentional Yes, but he couldn’t bear to part with it.”
He walked to Yun Fenghuang and half-knelt down. The man was indeed alive, breathing evenly, and his cheeks were even slightly crimson, and he looked like he was asleep.
Maybe Empress Ji didn't lie to him. The medicine she used to relieve the forbidden secret medicine, Qianji Powder, was indeed an ordinary drug. Even if she took it by mistake, just take a sleep and it would be fine.
But Qi Jiulu didn't trust Empress Ji. He didn't dare to gamble - he dared to gamble with his own life, but he didn't dare to risk Yun Fenghuang's life - and there was Qishan, and he had planned to abscond with Yun Fenghuang. No matter how thoughtful I was, I at most prepared some medicines for common wind-cold and brain-heat, heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines. Who knows if Yunfeng Huangruming’s situation requires medicines or not, and what medicines he needs to take
As far as her safety is concerned, the best way is to have it looked at by a skilled doctor.
