Concubine like a house

Chapter 114 The past and the past are all annihilated (1)
Chuxiu's injury is not serious, so there is no need to trouble a doctor to run to Yunfu every day.Dr. Jiao gave Xiu a simple treatment of the wound, and told Xiaoxin how to change the dressing and precautions during the recovery period, and then he said goodbye and left.

The time hastily arrived at the evening of that day, but the reception banquet prepared by Yunfu for Shen Yu did not take place as scheduled.The servants didn't dare to ask more questions, only Yun Feng who was there at the time knew that there was a problem between Chuxiu and Shen Yu, and it was very serious.

In fact, the two of them really stayed up all night.Chuxiu kept thinking about what happened during the day, while Shen Yu was deeply hurt by Chuxiu's indifferent attitude.For a moment, he even wanted Xingye to break into Yunfu and ask her what happened.

More than two years apart, although he had ventured to visit her when she was sick, after all, one was awake and the other was in a coma, and they had not spoken to each other.In fact, Shen Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to tell her everything about his mental journey in the past two years, his narrow escape from death.It's a pity that she doesn't seem to be interested in knowing.

Time is like a ferocious beast, devouring the most delicious memories alive, leaving only a cruel skeleton.

At night, the camp in the west of the city was lonely, and Shen Yu felt as if his heart had been gouged out, lying on the couch tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.Suddenly, when turning over, he was hit by the pillow.To be precise, it was stabbed by the dagger under the pillow.

Shen Yu sat up and took out the dagger under the pillow.The brilliance of the emerald shines faintly in the night, which is heart-wrenching, and the word "love" engraved on the body of the dagger is deep, which seems to be penetrating.He still remembers the situation when he received this dagger from Qingyi, how ecstatic he was at that time-mandarin duck daggers, each holding one, which shows that Chuxiu has feelings for him... She asked King Cheng to recommend herself, and also Donating real money... It's not that he doesn't know, but he hates himself even more for having nothing, so he wants her to help.

Shen Yu suddenly regretted it, regretted that he should not be impulsive, and should stay in Yunfu to ask clearly.Perhaps, there is no way to know what the real reason for going out of Xiuxiu is... Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he put on his clothes and got up and walked out of the camp.Qingyi was on duty tonight, and seeing this eighteen or nineteen year old man leaning over there, dozing off repeatedly, Shen Yu just wanted to laugh, but he still patted him awake out of military discipline: Is it really that sleepy? Can you fall asleep standing up?"

Qingyi rubbed her sleepy eyes, seeing that it was Shen Yu looking at her, she immediately shivered, and stood straight without any sleepiness: "This subordinate is guilty."

Shen Yu didn't intend to really blame him, but still jokingly said with a smile: "With your drowsiness, if there are rebels lurking in and cutting off my head, I'm afraid you won't know."

"Didn't we win this battle?" Qingyi muttered, "We are back on our own territory, why can't we relax? Especially you, you clearly have a private residence in Yanlan City, which is much more comfortable than this tent Ten thousand times... you are lucky, you don't sleep in your private residence, you insist on sleeping in the big camp!"

Shen Yu only laughed when he heard the words: "As the commander in chief, I naturally want to eat and live with the soldiers. Do you want me to go back to my private residence to enjoy the blessings and leave them here to sleep on the bunk and feed the bugs?"

"You bought that private residence yourself, and it's not the public's. It's only natural for you to go back to sleep, so who dares to say anything?" Qing Yi replied dissatisfied.

Shen Yu patted him on the shoulder, smiled helplessly: "I think you want to go back to sleep." Qingyi was pierced, she smiled, covered her mouth and yawned again, and didn't say anything more.Seeing his tired face, Shen Yu couldn't bear it, and then sighed: "It's been hard for you these days, Miss Zihan is settled?"

Mentioning this name made Qingyi more energetic, and complained: "Women are really troublesome, she is very picky along the way."

"She is my savior, so don't offend her." Shen Yu replied, "Girls are not old men. It's normal to be picky and particular. When we return to Jingzhou, your task And it's done."

"Ah? Do you want to protect her all the way again?" Qingyi said with a mournful face, "General, can I change someone else?"

"No. I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others." Shen Yu coughed lightly, and added, "She is very important to me."

important?Could it be more important than Mrs. Chuxiu?Qingyi murmured in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out of her mouth, and she didn't dare to speculate about the relationship between that girl Zihan and Shen Yu, so she had to accept the order in a depressed mood.

Seeing that Qingyi stopped talking, Shen Yu asked with a smile: "Miss Zihan is still making trouble?" Qingyi shook her head: "According to your wishes, she will be placed in your former private residence. The conditions are so comfortable, of course she will not There will be trouble." "That's it, my private residence is for her, how can I go back?" Shen Yu sighed, with a bit of pity on his face, "This journey will be difficult for her, follow me back from Jiangdi , she suffered a lot..."

When Qingyi heard this, she couldn't help but "thump" in her heart.He originally wanted to ask Mrs. Chuxiu if he knew about this matter, but he finally swallowed the words, and turned to ask Yun Xiangrong: "You brought Miss Zihan back to Jingzhou, how should you explain to the general's wife?"

"What are you going to tell her? Who allowed you to call her 'Madame General'?" Shen Yu immediately turned cold, losing interest in continuing the conversation, "You are a vigilante, don't doze off anymore." After speaking, he turned and returned to the tent .

The next day, Shen Yu changed into casual clothes and rode his horse to Yunfu alone.He purposely chose to come here near noon, so that he could stay in Yun Mansion for lunch in a legitimate way, and he could also use the excuse of visiting his eldest son Yun Cheng to talk to Chuxiu alone.

Seeing that it was Shen Yu who came over, the door boy greeted him enthusiastically: "Young Master is here! Please come in quickly, this slave will report to Steward Yun."

When Shen Yu heard the word "uncle", he felt that it was extremely harsh, but there was no expression on his face, and he went straight to the living room.He stepped into the threshold with his front foot, and Yun Feng also followed him: "General Shen, Mrs. Tai invites you to Rongjin Hall."

Shen Yu responded and walked towards the inner courtyard with his hands on his back.When passing by Zhiyanxuan, he deliberately took another look, and pretended to ask casually: "Where is Madam?"

"Early this morning, King Cheng took his wife away." Yun Feng replied truthfully.Is it "accept" instead of "please"?Shen Yu paused: "Where did you go?" "Madam didn't say anything."

Hearing this remark, Shen Yu felt intense disappointment in his heart for a moment, and remembered that Ming Ying had been hurt by Ming Ying when he came out of Xiu yesterday, and he was a little worried about her safety: "Have you brought anyone with you Madam?"

"Zhu Ying and Zhu Yang are on vacation, and a few hidden guards are following, and His Royal Highness Cheng also specially sent someone to accompany him." Seeing Yun Feng's reply, Shen Yu didn't ask any more questions, and went all the way to Rong Jin without saying a word. Church.Mrs. Tai looked energetic, she specially hosted a banquet in the dining room, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you came here by accident, Chuxiu is not in the mansion today, otherwise everyone will be here."

Shen Yu knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from Mrs. Tai. In fact, Mrs. Tai knew everything about what he thought and did since Yun Ci's death.Therefore, he also asked himself that there was no need to beat around the bush, and replied: "I have something to say to you alone, I don't know if it's convenient or not."

"What's the inconvenience?" Mrs. Tai waved back and forth, "You can say whatever you want, but I can guess a little bit."

Shen Yu went straight to the point: "Yesterday you also saw that Hanchu called me 'uncle' all the time, what happened to her? Or...during my campaign in Jiangdi, what happened?"

Mrs. Tai squinted her eyes and seemed to be thinking, and slowly replied: "I only know that she was fine yesterday morning. Before dawn, she changed into men's clothes and went out, saying that she was going to watch the army enter the city. She also specially let Zhuying drink while drunk. Xianlou has fixed the location."

yesterday?Going out of Xiuxiu to Zuixian Tower to see yourself entering the city?Shen Yu frowned and thought back, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

After thinking about it, I asked again: "Then she went to see the Ming brothers and sisters after I entered the city?" "That's right." Mrs. Tai sighed, "In the past, He Lianqi and Mingying sent invitations many times, but I never asked about them. , she has been insisting on refusing to meet... But since she found out about the 5000 million taels of gold, she changed her mind." Mrs. Tai thought for a moment, and then corrected herself, "To be exact, it was after she recovered from her illness that she changed her mind. gone."

"It seems that she blamed me for keeping it from her." Shen Yu smiled wryly, "When I presided over the case of the Ming family, the Holy Majesty had already told the whole story of the matter. At that time, my first reaction was that Han Chu must not be allowed to I know, otherwise she doesn't know how sad she will be..."

"I miscalculated on this matter." Mrs. Tai also sighed, "If I knew this, I wouldn't let Yunfeng tell her. I never thought that she would be so ill..."

"I'm afraid she can't let go of her now." Shen Yu was sad when he heard this.After he, an outsider, knew what Yun Ci did, he was very moved, let alone Chuxiu was the person involved... Any woman in the world, if her husband treats her so affectionately, she would probably be shocked by it, and would be willing to be a widow for him .

Shen Yu pursed her thin lips tightly, and sighed again for a long time: "When I was on duty in the Criminal Department, I didn't tell her about this in time. She must be blaming me..."

"That's not necessarily true." Mrs. Tai retorted with an unpredictable expression, "Maybe it's not because of this matter..."

Is there something else?Shen Yu asked puzzledly, "What do you mean..." "It means that you might as well think about it carefully, did you do anything that caused her to misunderstand when you entered the city yesterday?

She has been watching you enter the city from the drunk fairy tower, from beginning to end. " After Madam Tai finished speaking, she bowed her head and ate the food without saying a word.

"Watch me enter the city from beginning to end..." Shen Yu thought and thought, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.If you want to say something that Han Chu misunderstood when you entered the city, it must be——Zi Han!
He seemed to be unbelievable, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt overjoyed, so he couldn't wait to ask Mrs. Tai for confirmation: "You said... Hanchu is angry because..."

"I didn't say anything." Mrs. Tai didn't lift her head, she sipped the soup all the way, thought for a while, and said, "Ms. Hua heard that you came, and wanted to see you. I won't interfere, you can see for yourself Do it."

Shen Yu was delighted at first, but when he heard this, he immediately had a headache: "Are you helping me or hurting me..." "Who said I want to help you?" Mrs. Tai said calmly, "I really want to find someone for Chuxiu. Cheng Wang is more suitable than you to be next home."

There was a crisp "ding" sound, and Shen Yu accidentally knocked his chopsticks on the plate.Mrs. Tai wanted to laugh, but she pretended to be very serious, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you see Hua Wuying or not, but Cheng'er calls you 'Uncle', you have taught him kung fu, you always want to see him Yes." Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Mrs. Tai went on to say: "Go and see Cheng'er after lunch, he hasn't moved out of Zhiyanxuan yet..." This is justified to create opportunities for himself up!Shen Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you for your fulfillment." Mrs. Tai smiled but did not answer, she just tapped the bowl in front of her with her chopsticks, signaling Shen Yu to eat quickly: "My old woman is sleepy in the afternoon, don't dawdle, leave quickly after eating!"

Over there, Shen Yu went to Yunfu, while Chuxiu and Nie Peixiao came to Fangzhou Prison.Yesterday the brothers and sisters of the Ming family tossed and wounded Chuxiu's body and pained King Cheng's heart, so early this morning, he came to Yun Mansion to pick up Chuxiu in person, without saying where he was going, just pretending to be closed.

The carriage traveled for two full hours on the road, until it reached the southern suburbs of Yanlan City, where the legendary cold and terrifying prison came into view.Looking around after going out of Xiuxiu, in fact, this is a beautiful scenic spot with complete mountains and rivers and lush greenery. It is a good place for outings.

But the Fangzhou Prison was built here, and heavy troops were sent to guard it. Therefore, this good place with mountains and rivers became a military important place and gradually became deserted.Chuxiu was a little puzzled, why did King Mu want to build the Fangzhou Prison in such a beautiful place?Besides, this is a place where repeat offenders are detained, why did Nie Peixiao bring her here?Chuxiu thought so, and asked, "What is Your Highness bringing me here for?"

"Excuse me!" Nie Peixiao got off the horse and said, "Let's go! Go and see how the two brothers and sisters are doing." It turns out that Nie Peixiao imprisoned the Ming brothers and sisters here.
"Why do you do this?" "Why, it's fine for Mingying to bully you in the past, but now that you are Mrs. Chuxiu, she dares to openly attack Yunfu? Shouldn't such an arrogant and vicious woman be taught a lesson?" Nie Pei Xiao snorted coldly, "And Mingzhang, I've been tired of it for a long time."

Chuxiu still stood still, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, let's go back." Seeing her appearance of not messing with other things, Nie Peixiao hated iron and steel: "What are you afraid of? Everything is up to me." Wait for it. Even if you kill her today, it's not your responsibility." Chuxiu was startled: "Have you tortured the Ming brothers and sisters?" Laughing, "I just let them watch others being tortured."

"Other people are being punished? What kind of punishment?" Chuxiu subconsciously asked again.This time, Nie Peixiao did not answer, and said cryptically: "You don't need to know." He made another gesture and pushed out of Xiuxiu, "Let's go, why don't you go in when we are at the door?" Pushing his back, he passively staggered two steps forward.In late spring, the clothes were thin, and she could feel a warm palm in the middle of the vest, and that feeling made her feel uncomfortable.Chuxiu took two steps, then stopped, dodged backwards to avoid Nie Peixiao's hand, and said, "I'll go by myself."

Nie Peixiao also understood what she was avoiding, so she put her hands behind her back, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, but it's a little cold inside."

Chuxiu didn't speak any more, actually he felt a little uneasy.Outsiders thought she was decisive, but why had she ever been to such a place?Especially remembering that this prison was built under the auspices of King Mu, and it was once famous all over the world for all kinds of appalling instruments of torture... Chuxiu couldn't help shivering, and felt a little timid in his heart.

"Don't be afraid." Seeing her hesitation, Nie Peixiao said again, "This road is very safe, there are no such messy things, and the rumors outside are not entirely credible."

Leaving Xiu still reluctantly, he stood still and replied: "Your Highness, forget it. Yesterday, I was negligent and was hurt by Ming Ying... Madam Tai also punished me, saying that I have not been in charge of public affairs for half a year, and I have changed Careless."

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao suddenly darkened.He thinks that Chuxiu is a considerate person, why was he negligent yesterday and went to see the Ming brothers and sisters alone?He couldn't figure it out, so last night he specially sent Feng Fei to check the current situation of Chayun Mansion, and only then did he get a piece of news - early yesterday morning, he went out of Xiuxiu to see Shen Yu's entry into the city.

This news is really subtle, and Nie Peixiao has reason to believe that yesterday's abnormality in Chuxiu is related to Shen Yu's return to the city.But what is the connection between the two, he hasn't thought of it yet, or he doesn't want to think about it further.

Shen Yu and Chu Xiu can influence each other, this cognition makes his heart sink.Nie Peixiao forced herself to shake off these thoughts, and said with a smile to Chuxiu: "If it comes, it's safe, and it's not a solution to procrastinate. Wouldn't it be better to end it together today?"

Together?Chuxiu thought for a moment, remembering the grievances and grievances between himself and Mingying, then nodded, and followed Nie Peixiao into the Fangzhou prison.

Secluded, gloomy, cold, humid, out of the sky... This is the first impression of Chuxiu when he entered the prison.An endless corridor, surrounded by torches, has the illusion of entering the underworld.The breath coming towards his face was slightly fishy, ​​no, maybe it was... bloody.

Chuxiu originally thought that he would hear the screams of many people, but fortunately, the surrounding area was still quiet, even so quiet that it was almost eerie.Hearing Nie Peixiao's footsteps in her ears, she also knew that she couldn't back down, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in.The deeper you go, the colder you go, the darker you go, the weirder you go... Chuxiu's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt that she was leading to the eighteenth floor of hell... She unconsciously tightened her hands, Force yourself not to think, not to look, and completely believe in Nie Peixiao.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, Nie Peixiao stopped in front of a prison door. This prison door was like a secret room, and she could not see half of what was going on inside. "Open it." Nie Peixiao ordered the jailer.
