The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

Chu Qingxi pulled Qiyun and walked to a remote and deserted place outside the courtyard. He grabbed her shoulders and was so excited that he could hardly speak: "Qiyun! I'm Chu Qingxi, you recognize me, right? See Have you been to Antai? Where is she now?"

She was trembling with excitement and almost shed tears: "Qiyun, tell me quickly, how is Antai? Where is she? I have searched all over Shangjing, but I can't find her whereabouts. Can you tell me?" Tell me, where is she?"

She shook Qiyun's thin shoulder vigorously, but suddenly found that the thin shoulder in her hand was almost bony.Only then did she realize in surprise that Qi Yun, who used to be a servant of the third-rank princess, had been tortured like a [-]-year-old woman in just one or two years.

I saw that her cheeks were sunken, her complexion was pale, and her lips were slightly arched outwards. It was because she was too thin that the bones of her face were a little abrupt.Although her hair has been combed and arranged as much as possible, the dry hair and a simple wooden hairpin easily reveal the embarrassment and misery of her life.

Qiyun's excitement at this time was no less than Chu Qingxi's.Tears slowly welled up in her dull eyes, and she almost despaired of life. She thought that if she married Zhao Ning on behalf of Zhao Ning, even if she sacrificed herself, at least Zhao Ning could be free.

But who would have thought that Yeluhuala was very meticulous, within a few months, her identity was discovered, if she hadn't been pregnant at that time, the Empress Dowager Xiao would have already taken her own head.Now relying on the flesh and blood of Yelu Huala in her belly, she can still survive until now. I thought that even if I was ruined all my life, I still protected Zhao Ning comprehensively, but who knew that in less than half a year, Zhao Ning was killed by Song Emperor again An envoy was sent back to Liao State!

The reunion of master and servant on that day is still vivid in my mind!Empress Dowager Xiao specially called herself who had been sent to work in the rough envoy to meet the fourth princess.Until now, Qiyun can still clearly recall the expression of the fourth princess when she saw her that day, the shock, self-blame, heartache, helplessness and the flash of resentment.

Yes, Qiyun can be sure that she saw resentment in the eyes of the four princesses that day. She hated her unscrupulous imperial brother for sending them into the mouth of wolves, and also hated Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao Kingdom for torturing her Qiyun inhuman form.

That day, she heard Empress Dowager Xiao, who was sitting high on the throne, sneer from her nostrils: "Why, you, the princess of the Song Dynasty, look down on the grandson of the Ai family? Could it be that the grandson of the Ai family is humiliated for nothing? You can't do it!"

She heard Empress Dowager Xiao roaring from her throat word by word: "How dare you run away from marriage! And let this lowly maid pretend to be my Daliao prince Yanshi! Zhao Ning, fourth princess, who will give you that?" With such courage, are you bullying me that there is no one in Liao Kingdom?!"

To this day, Qiyun can still clearly recall the scene of Queen Mother Xiao's rage in the palace that day. Whenever she thinks of that time, she always has a chilling feeling, just like the feeling of a poisonous snake slowly climbing up her back. the chill.

On that day, Empress Dowager Xiao imprisoned her and the four princesses together, in the name of allowing them to reunite their old friends and express their feelings of parting. Don't worry about letting the two of them have any ability to escape her applause. The second thing is that she wants Zhao Ning to see that her close servant girl, a third-rank female official of the Song Dynasty, is in the eyes of her Queen Mother Xiao. , but it is just like an ant who is in charge of life and death.

Of course, for Zhao Ning and Qi Yun, meeting again under such circumstances is nothing short of joy and sorrow.The two were locked in a dilapidated small dark room, Zhao Ning looked at Qi Yun, who was skinny and had a big belly, and couldn't help crying.When Qiyun saw Zhao Ning, she couldn't help crying, her heart was sore and bitter, she couldn't help crying with Zhao Ning.

The two were locked up in the small black room for several days, except for the palace servants who came to deliver meals every day, no third person came to visit them.In the dark, dark room, Zhao Ning told Qiyun in detail how she and Chu Qingxi met in the past, and also shyly told her that he and Chu Qingxi had been in love for three lifetimes.

Through her description, the vivid image of Chu Qingxi has already left a deep impression in Qi Yun's heart.That's why Chu Qingxi suddenly appeared to protect her just now, and she recognized her identity at a glance.

The woman in front of her was so amazing that she couldn't take her eyes off!Qi Yun's heart was full of mixed emotions, and for a while she couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy.Now she has seen Chu Qingxi with her own eyes—the person whom the four princesses miss so much, he is indeed a beautiful and outstanding person, coupled with the skill that was just revealed, whether it is appearance, martial arts, or conduct in the world, he is absolutely perfect. It doesn't count as humiliating the fourth princess.

It's just that today's fourth princess is no longer the nobleman of Tianhuang back then.Qi Yun could not forget the terrible day when Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the fourth princess to be taken away.When she hoped to see a figure like a rag doll being dragged back by two ferocious servants, Qi Yun felt the taste of despair for the first time.

Yes, even that day when Yelu Huala found out her identity, abolished the title of Crown Prince and Concubine, and was sent to the rough envoy's courtyard to suffer the cold eyes, ridicule and teasing of everyone, she had never been so desperate.But that day, when she saw Zhao Ning's dying face beyond recognition, she was almost on the verge of collapse.

That night, she stayed up all night, Zhao Ning's body was bruised, and in the middle of the night, she developed a high fever, and what was even more frightening was that her face, her face was scratched in all directions with many blood marks, the handsome and beautiful little princess that day, In just over a dozen hours, he was tortured into a mother without salt!

Qi Yun couldn't figure out how ruthless Empress Dowager Xiao was, so ruthless that she could deal such a ruthless hand to a teenage girl.You must know that for a woman, ruining her appearance is a hundred times more cruel than killing her. At that time, Qi Yun couldn't imagine how the fourth princess would react if she woke up and found that her appearance was destroyed.

She took care of Zhao Ning for a whole night. This night was the longest night in her life, full of fear and helplessness.There is no medicine in the small black room to treat Zhao Ning's injuries. Qi Yun only remembers that she just sat there holding the unconscious Zhao Ning for a whole night. No one can imagine how difficult this long night is, and Qi Yun, whenever Thinking of this night, there will always be an unbearable feeling.

Chu Qingxi looked at Qiyun, her face was pale and scary, and her eyes kept avoiding her own gaze, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in her heart: "Qiyun, do you know about Antai's situation? Tell me quickly, where is she!"

When Qiyun was drunk by her, she immediately trembled, and then she came back to her senses, but tears had already slid down her cheeks like broken pearls: "Miss Chu, you are finally here!"

Seeing Chu Qingxi, her hanging heart can finally rest for a while, and the burden on her shoulders seems to be temporarily let go.The appearance of Chu Qingxi made her feel like she had found the backbone. Before that, even though she was powerless, Zhao Ning's safety was always hanging in her heart like a huge rock.

Chu Qingxi grabbed her arms and said in a deep voice, "What happened to Antai?"

Qi Yun whimpered and said: "Princess, she was taken into the palace by Empress Dowager Xiao and imprisoned in a place called Queying."

Ever since Zhao Ning was taken away from Xiaoheiwu by Queen Mother Xiao, Qi Yun never saw her again.Afterwards, Qiyun was released from the small black room, and sent to work in the rough envoy's courtyard. She was concerned about Zhao Ning's safety, and even though she couldn't protect herself, she did everything possible to find out about Zhao Ning's whereabouts.

Fortunately, when she was the Crown Prince Yan's family, she treated others generously, and all the servants and palace servants under her command have received her care and rewards. Therefore, although she is in trouble now, there are still some who know how to repay her kindness. Secretly helping her up and down, it was only with the help of this group of people that Zhao Ning's whereabouts were known.

"Bird Camp? What's this place?" Chu Qingxi frowned.

Qi Yun wept and said: "The sparrow camp is the place where Emperor Liao had fun. He kept tigers, leopards, wolves, eagles and falcons. Besides that, there were also a large number of beautiful women and slaves who fought with each other.", She covered her face and hissed sadly: "The people who entered the sparrow camp are just the playthings of Emperor Liao. Princess, the princess enters the sparrow camp. I don't know what kind of punishment I will suffer."

When Chu Qingxi heard the words, his expression changed drastically.No wonder she almost turned Shangjing over and couldn't find Zhao Ning's whereabouts. It turned out that she was imprisoned in the Liao Palace and became a tool for Empress Dowager Xiao to humiliate the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of the tragic situation that Zhao Ning may suffer, Chu Qingxi's eyes turned red.She hated why she came so late and made Zhao Ning suffer for so many days for no reason, and she also hated the treacherous Liao people who came up with such vicious methods to torture Zhao Ning.

How could her delicate little princess endure such inhuman torture!Thinking of this, Chu Qingxi felt like a knife was twisting his heart, wishing he could immediately break into the Liao Palace and cut the culprit, Empress Dowager Xiao alive with one sword at a time.

But even though he is burning with anxiety right now, Chu Qingxi also knows that now is not the time to be arrogant.The so-called small intolerance leads to chaos and big plans. Now, looking around, they are all Liao soil, and Zhao Ning and Qi Yun are all under the control of Queen Mother Xiao. If Zhao Ning and Qiyun don't leave, even I will be imprisoned. At that time, who can come to the rescue?

At this moment, Yelv Shuzhe's voice sounded not far behind him: "Master Xi, so you are here. Shuzhe has been looking for you for a long time but can't find you. What are you doing here?"

Chu Qingxi suddenly turned around, seeing Yelv Shuzhe running up to him quickly, raised his face to look at Qiyun and said, "Master Xi, who is she, why have I never seen her before?"

In fact, he had seen Qiyun before. At that time, Qiyun was still in the Yan family, but his mother was just a maidservant in Yeluhuala's house before marriage. Later, because she gave birth to him, her mother was more expensive than her son, so she was promoted to side concubine.It's just that the current Qiyun is of course completely different from the Qiyun he saw at that time, who was named as the Yan family, so it's reasonable that he didn't recognize him all at once.

Naturally, Chu Qingxi would not explain this to him, but frowned and said to him: "Shu Zhe, is there any way you can take care of her?"

Yelu Shuzhe looked at Qi Yun curiously, and said with a smile: "Master Xi, who is she? She's so good-looking, why do you care about such an ugly monster? If you want maids, Shuzhe will ask someone to pick some for you Come."

Chu Qingxi shook his head and said: "I don't want any maids. You see, she has a big belly, she has trouble moving, and she has to do such rough work. I saw her today, and I just feel that I can't bear it. Women in this world are miserable. Since she is pregnant with you Khitan people Your child, instead of taking care of her, you make her work so hard, it is really chilling."

Hearing this, Yelu Shuzhe couldn't help being silent for a while. He had never heard such a unique point of view. It is only natural for a woman to conceive, give birth, and take care of housework. How could it be said by Master Xi that this pregnant woman is like The generals on the battlefield are average, but they have made great contributions.

It's just that Master Xi's words seem to have some truth.Seeing Qiyun's skinny but huge belly, Yelv Shuzhe couldn't help feeling a little bit sad: "Don't worry, Master Xi, from now on, Shuzhe will be taken care of by others, and she won't suffer too much." Wronged."

Chu Qingxi patted his head in relief, and said softly to Qi Yun, "You'll be wronged here for a few more days, and I'll come to see you as soon as I'm free."
