Frost shines on Qingcheng

Looking at your face, now it seems that the eyebrows look a bit like Chu Xingzhi.No wonder she loves you so much. "
Chu Xingzhi?Shen Shuangzhao was not familiar with this name, but she had heard it mentioned by her master once.A few years ago, she eavesdropped on Xueqing talking about the sword with her master in the main hall, and the master mentioned the word "Xingzhi".She didn't pay attention at the time, but now she thinks it should be the name of Master's husband.
"City Lord, Shen Shuangzhao is still unwilling to say a word." Lan Xin said.
Zhao Yueyao let go, and Shen Shuangzhao left a few finger marks on her fair face: "It doesn't matter if she talks or not, I also have ways to make her talk. Xuemei, bring Yan'er here—"
Ling Yan was brought over by Xuemei, she looked at Shen Shuangzhao with complicated eyes.Before, she was only worried about Xuemei, but now Zhao Yueyao has another bargaining chip.Although she and Shen Shuangzhao were not close friends, she couldn't ignore Shen Shuangzhao's life and death.
"Just now you begged me to spare Qiurui's life. Originally, I was determined to kill her, but I changed my mind." Zhao Yueyao said.
Things turned around for Qiurui, but Ling Yan had a vague premonition, she subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, waiting for Zhao Yueyao's words.
Zhao Yueyao drew out the sword, and Shen Shuang immediately recognized that it was the sword given to her by her master a few years ago.
"Yan'er, I'll give you two choices——Qiu Rui and Shen Shuangzhao can only live alone, whose life do you choose to keep?"
Shen Shuangzhao and Ling Yan opened their eyes in unison after hearing this, and their gazes met.Shen Shuang stared at her calmly with bright black eyes, focused but without fear.It was Ling Yan who took the lead to look away.She bowed her head, her lips trembling, she was the one who decided, so she couldn't be as calm as Shen Shuangzhao.
Zhao Yueyao looked at her indifferently: "Why do you hesitate? Qiurui has been with you since childhood, and she has a loyal master-servant relationship and a sincere sisterhood towards you. If you talk about who cares most about you in this world now , there is no doubt that it is Qiurui."
When Ling Yan raised and closed her eyelids, a tear fell down.
"What kind of friendship does Shen Shuangzhao have with you? Although you never admitted it, I know very well that she was able to escape the guards' search three years ago, because you hid her behind your back? As for the fact that you went to Shuilan City a few days ago , I don’t think I can get away from her. However, I never thought that Qiurui can’t compare to her in your heart.” Zhao Yueyao’s tone was not kind, and every sentence was mocking Ling Yan, “You are still hesitating at the moment of life and death. Rui, I really feel sorry for you."
"That's enough..." Ling Yan interrupted her, "I don't need the city lord to comment on how Qiurui and I are."
Zhao Yueyao looked at the sword in his hand and asked: "How?"
Ling Yan looked at the fainted Qiurui, and then at Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao saw apology and guilt in Ling Yan's amber eyes, and she smiled faintly at Ling Yan.It is reasonable for Ling Yan to choose Qiurui, but she does not have much friendship with Ling Yan.
Furthermore, why does Ling Yan need to feel sorry for herself?If she knew that she had agreed to Lu Qingrong to steal the piano left by her parents in order to steal her life earlier, maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty.It's a pity that she can't speak now, otherwise she will tell Ling Yan about it.It's all her own fault that she has fallen into this situation today.
"Qiu Rui and I are sisters, I can't ignore her." Ling Yan suppressed the shock in his heart and said slowly.
Zhao Yueyao was determined that Ling Yan would protect Qiurui, so she was not surprised to hear her say this: "Okay, if that's the case, then you stab this sword into Shen Shuangzhao's chest."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.The city lord has always loved Ling Yan, but today he would make such a request.Shen Shuangzhao's heart trembled, even though she was an assassin, she would kill herself with one knife, why bother?According to what she said before, she would hate herself so much, it seems to have a lot to do with Master.Could it be that the two of them have a great festival?
"No..." Ling Yan is just a weak woman, she hasn't even killed a chicken, how can she resist killing someone?She was so frightened that she stepped back, turned around and wanted to escape.
Zhao Yueyao grabbed her and hugged her tightly from behind, she leaned into Ling Yan's ear: "If you dare to run away, Qiurui will never survive."
"Don't... City Lord, I beg you, I won't kill people..." Ling Yan was about to collapse, shaking her head, tears all over her face, "Please let me go..."
Zhao Yueyao broke away Ling Yan's hand, put the sword in her hand, and then held her hand with his own: "Well, we won't kill people if Yan'er says we don't. I'll teach you how to use a sword... …" As she spoke, she raised the sword with Ling Yan's hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Shen Shuangzhao.
"Don't..." Ling Yan wanted to break free from Zhao Yueyao, but Zhao Yueyao imprisoned her tightly, leaving her no room for change.
Shen Shuangzhao's face began to turn pale, she didn't know what Zhao Yueyao was going to do to her, and she was still unavoidably afraid.The guards held her tightly, and she had no chance of escape.Even, because of Lu Qingrong's medicine, she couldn't even say a word of resistance.
Zhao Yueyao held Ling Yan's hand, and pressed the tip of her sword against Shen Shuangzhao's face: "I hate Chu Xingzhi the most, and I can't tolerate people who are somewhat similar to him. So...your face..."
Before Ling Yan could react, as soon as Zhao Yueyao exerted force, a long bloodstain appeared on Shen Shuangzhao's left face.
Shen Shuangzhao didn't feel any pain at first, but felt hot liquid flowing down her face.She didn't know what happened until she saw the blood dripping on her clothes.
Afterwards, Zhao Yueyao slashed her right cheek several times, and Shen Shuang's face was covered with blood in an instant.The pain gradually gathered, she gritted her teeth, her face was burning with pain.
"Ah..." Ling Yan looked at Shen Shuangzhao who was covered in blood, and screamed uncontrollably, and finally she couldn't bear the stimulation and fainted in Zhao Yueyao's arms.
Zhao Yueyao supported Ling Yan's limp body: "Take Shen Shuangzhao down and put him in prison."
"City Master, then...then do you want to inform Shen Wanrong that she is with us?" Lan Xin asked.
Zhao Yueyao said: "No need, I want to see how long it takes for Shen Wanrong to find out that her good apprentice is in my hands." This time, she insisted on forcing her to come to see her.
The author has something to say: Transitional plot... From the next chapter, we can meet and stick together
There are many twists and turns, but I still want to finish this article according to my own ideas
Also, Lu is not a scumbag or cold-blooded?﹏?
☆, rescue
"It's getting so late, Miss Shen hasn't come back for a long time, but something happened?" The sky was getting dark, and the two maids of Qingshuang Palace began to worry again.
"Miss Shen said that she had an appointment with a friend, but which friend made her stay so long?" Nan Yan, the maid, stomped her feet anxiously, "It's all our fault, we shouldn't trust her words."
At that time, Shen Shuang saw that they would not let her go out of the city, so she changed her plan to visit Tang Mengxuan.Nan Yan followed her and didn't think too much when she saw that she was going in the direction of Menglin Courtyard.Later, they met Tang Mengxuan who had just returned to the inner city on the road, and learned that Shen Shuangzhao never went to Menglin Academy.Only then did they realize that Shen Shuang must have gone out of the city again under a cover.
Xiaotao said: "This matter can't be delayed, let's go to Menglin Academy and ask if we have seen Miss Shen."
The two hurried to Menglin Courtyard, and met Sang Yu on the way.
"Where are you two going in such a hurry?" Sang Yu recognized them as Shen Shuangzhao's maid, and stopped them.
Nanyan and Xiaotao naturally knew that the relationship between Sang Yu and Shen Shuangzhao had not been good in recent years, and they were even more frightened when they were called by Sang Yu.
"Miss Huisang, we are going to ask Miss Tang something." Nan Yan said tremblingly.
Sang Yu was puzzled: "You people from Qingshuang Palace want to ask about Mengxuan, and it probably has something to do with my junior sister." Seeing the change in the expressions of the two of them, she felt that something happened to Shen Shuangzhao, "I heard that my junior sister has been hugging her body for the past two days. Chi, as a senior sister, I haven't even visited, so it doesn't make sense logically. Why don't I just take the time now and I'll go with you to Qingshuang Palace..."
Before she finished speaking, Nan Yan and Xiao Tao both knelt down: "Miss Sang, Miss Shen hasn't come back yet, we are worried that something happened to her."
"How do you say that?" Sang Yu asked.
Nan Yan and Xiao Tao tell the truth to Sang Yu.
Sang Yu thought for a while: "Perhaps the younger junior sister had an important appointment with a friend, so she delayed her return. Don't worry, I will send someone to the outer city to inquire about her. You two go back first, maybe the younger sister will wait a while Just came back."
"My servant thanked Miss Sang."
Sang Yu smiled: "I'm a senior sister, I should. By the way—" she instructed again, "Don't tell others about the fact that the junior sister has not returned, otherwise if it gets to the master's ears, the one who is punished will still be punished." Not you?"
Xiaotao nodded again and again: "Miss Sang said yes, this servant will go back to Qingshuang Palace and wait for Miss Shen to come back. If Miss Sang has any news here, please send someone to inform us."
"Of course, you go back." Sang Yu agreed.
The two were very grateful to Sang Yu, thanked them and went back.After walking a few steps, she bumped into Tang Mengxuan again. Tang Mengxuan was surprised. Looking at their backs as they left in a hurry, she asked Sang Yu, "Why do people from Shuangzhao keep running this way today?"
Sang Yu said: "It's nothing, I just came here to ask me to pay more attention to her because I was afraid that my junior sister would run out of the city for fun."
"Shuangzhao is not playful..."
"Have you said enough?" Sang Yu immediately showed displeasure.
Tang Mengxuan thought that maybe she was still thinking about Shuangzhao's talking back to her two days ago, and she didn't intend to make her angry, so she changed the subject: "Okay, is your cold better?" Last time Sang Yu was also drenched in the rain Suffering from the cold, Tang Mengxuan was always thinking about her.
"Yes." Sang Yu replied sullenly.
"Then I'm relieved. It's time for dinner. Let's go."
Sang Yu was dragged away by her but didn't say anything, thinking of Shen Shuangzhao again, she couldn't help sneering, don't come back, you'd better not come back in this life!
-------------------------------------------------- ------
"Tut tsk tsk..." Zhao Yueyao came to the prison, looked at Shen Shuangzhao's blood-stained face and sighed, "A face that was originally good has turned into this, let alone me, even Shen Wanrong can't recognize that it's her The most beloved little apprentice."
Shen Shuangzhao was tightly tied up and hung up, with bloodstained wounds all over her body.She was tortured so weakly that when she heard Zhao Yueyao's voice, she just reluctantly raised her head and glanced at her.
"You are not only courageous, but also capable." Zhao Yueyao raised Shen Shuangzhao's chin with the jailer's sword in disgust, "It is normal for Shen Wanrong to love you, after all, the relationship between master and apprentice for more than ten years is there, plus you This face... If it wasn't for the death of Chu Xingzhi's evil seed back then, I really thought you were her. But what I can't figure out is that Ling Yan didn't know you back then, and she would take the risk to save you. Last night for She is even more in a dilemma about your life. Shen Shuangzhao, you are really clever."
Shen Shuangzhao half-opened her eyes and was forced to raise her head.I have already laughed at Zhao Yueyao thousands of times in my heart.A cruel and ruthless person like Zhao Yueyao shouldn't get any love.Ling Yan stayed by her side, but Ling Yan suffered.
"I don't know if you're really dumb or just pretending, but don't think I'll let you go if you don't speak. Now I'll save your life for the time being. I want Shen Wanrong to see her most beloved disciple with her own eyes. How is it?" Die slowly." Zhao Yueyao said cruelly and coldly, "It's been a night, and your good master hasn't noticed that you're gone..."
Shen Shuangzhao felt that she had done it to herself, and specially asked Shen Wanrong for a few days of vacation because of Ling Yan's matter, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such a situation.But it's fine if Master doesn't find out, if she knows that she has come to Qingcheng again, she will definitely be furious.The master also said that if she went out of the city privately again, their master-student relationship would be broken.And if she is to be saved, conflicts will inevitably break out between the two cities, and she does not want people to die because of her.
"It's okay...she will always find out." Zhao Yueyao's words seemed to comfort her on the surface, "The longer she finds out, the longer I can torture you."
Shen Shuangzhao lamented that Qingcheng is not a good place, at least for her.She was also to blame for being impulsive and reckless three years ago, when she accidentally strayed into Qingcheng, that's why she got entangled with a woman like Lu Qingrong and Zhao Yueyao who had a heart like a snake and a scorpion.Compared with them, I was simply too immature, which led to my current fate.
"Give me a good look at her, don't let her die accidentally." Zhao Yueyao said to the jailer in a cold voice.
After Zhao Yueyao left, Shen Shuangzhao lowered her head weakly again, besides the wanton pain from the wound on her body, her body seemed to start to feel hot again.His head was dizzy, and even his vision gradually became blurred.Probably fate is destined to have this calamity, if she can't avoid it, then she really can't.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shuang vaguely heard someone calling her name.When she woke up from her dream, she saw a man dressed as a cell boss in front of her.
"Miss Shen?" the man called her softly.
Shen Shuangzhao looked at him suspiciously, but couldn't remember who he was after thinking for a long time.
The prison boss said: "I don't know if you still remember me. Three years ago, I was at the river outside the city. Thanks to you, I blocked Lu Qingrong's sword for me. I was able to survive." He was originally the chief guard in the inner city. After the incident a year ago, he was demoted and came to this prison as the cell boss.
After hearing what he said, Shen Shuang remembered that this was indeed the case, she nodded.
"Last night, I heard that you were arrested and brought in. I was quite struggling. Although you are the prisoner of the city lord, you are also my savior." When he saw Shen Shuangzhao's bloodstained face, he felt very sorry and had a good face. Just ruined like that, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live in the world now. Today is the time, and I will naturally repay you for saving my life."
-------------------------------------------------- -----
"Two more people died in the prison today. Hurry up and transport the dead bodies out of the city, so as not to stink in time." The cell leader said to the two jailers.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two guards were slacking off drinking, and they were very panicked when they were drunk by the cell boss.
The jailer carried the two corpses wrapped in straw mats into the car, and then they were transported out of the inner city.After carrying the body back to the cell, the jailer glanced at Shen Shuangzhao, whose head was hanging down, and couldn't help sighing: "What a beautiful girl, why bother to offend the city lord? It's pitiful to be reduced to this point... hey..." The two sighed Then, went to drink again.
Outside the city, the cell boss helped Shen Shuangzhao out of the car: "Miss Shen, here are some food and silver. You should go west on horseback, and you'd better get out of Qingcheng. Sooner or later it will be discovered that the death row prisoner took your place. Can you run away?" Run as far as you can, and don't return to Qingcheng in the near future, otherwise you will be caught by the city lord."
Shen Shuang nodded and clasped his fists to thank him.
"Actually, after you leave Qingmen Pass, there is a river nearby. Although it will take you a while to walk east along the river, you should be able to return to Shuilan City. As for whether you can succeed or not, it depends on you." It’s your luck.” The cell boss said, “I can only help you so far, and you have to take care of yourself in the future.” He also wanted to repay that kindness.
Shen Shuangzhao bid farewell to him, braced her bruised body to get on the horse, and with a flick of the whip, the horse flew away.
The cell leader let out a breath, stayed for a while and then left.
Shen Shuangzhao hurried on the road without stopping, and finally saw Qingmen Pass in the morning of the second day.But at this time, she was already exhausted, and the pain from the wound on her body and the high fever tortured her to the point of fainting.
Outside Qingmen Pass is the desert, the sun has already risen, and the surrounding temperature rises very fast because of the sand.Shen Shuangzhao was riding a horse, and the bamboo hat she wore on her head covered her scratched face.
The river... The cell boss said that there is a river nearby, and as long as she finds the river, she will have the hope of returning to Shuilan City.
She clamped the horse's belly, and the horse took a few steps forward.Shen Shuang looked around for traces of the river, but as the sun got worse, her physical discomfort became more and more serious.
Surrounded by yellow sand, she didn't know if it was her illusion or it was true, Shen Shuangzhao could only feel the scorching sun above her head spinning continuously, she blinked, but finally couldn't hold on, fell off the horse, completely fainted on the ground.
"Miss, Ziqin has already prepared chariots and horses outside Qingmen Pass, waiting for you to pass." Qilin said.
"Understood." Lu Qingrong closed his eyes and fell asleep on the boat, and the boat would be able to dock soon.
When they got to the shore, Ziqin and several people had been waiting for a long time with their horses and camels.After Lu Qingrong got on the horse, they left together.
They hadn't walked much when Qilin, who was leading the way, stopped.Lu Qingrong was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There is a horse in front, it seems that someone is nearby." Qilin replied.
Lu Qingrong raised his vigilance: "Qilin, go and see what's going on, and beware of ambushes."
"Yes." Qilin pulled out his sword and jumped off the horse.He cautiously walked a few steps forward, and found Shen Shuangzhao lying on the ground.He carefully picked up Shen Shuangzhao's bamboo hat with his sword, and when he saw the shocking scars on her face, he was taken aback suddenly.
"Miss, it looks like that horse belongs to the woman who was seriously injured. The woman fell on the ground, still breathing a bit. See if we..." Qi Lin came back and reported to Lu Qingrong.
Lu Qingrong looked forward, only seeing the torn black clothes: "Don't meddle in your own business, let's go back to the sandy sea as soon as possible."
"Yes." Hearing what she said, Qilin could only agree.
Several people continued to move forward, but when Lu Qingrong passed by Shen Shuangzhao, she didn't pay much attention.Just when her horse was about to leave Shen Shuangzhao behind, Lu Qingrong heard a very faint bell, so weak that she felt that she had heard it wrong.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Qingrong said, she stopped her horse, looked around, and finally stopped her gaze on the person on the ground.She jumped off the horse and approached that person, before she could see who she was, she was dazzled by something reflecting light.
Lu Qingrong squatted down and took the man's hand, only to see the silver bell shining in the sun.The familiar red string, the familiar bell... She turned the man's face with her hand again - but it was no longer the face she was familiar with...
Huan Hong came over and was taken aback: "This...isn't this Shen Shuang's photo? How did it become like this?"
Lu Qingrong looked at Shen Shuangzhao's face and frowned, with emotions fluctuating in her eyes, she said, "Take it back."
The author has something to say: save character
☆, appearance
It would take a day and a half to return to Shahai City from Qingmen Pass, but Lu Qingrong and the others had rushed back to Shahai in the evening.
"The subordinates don't know that the young master is returning to the city, so he is far away to welcome him." Zixiu said.
Lu Qingrong rode a horse to the gate of the inner city. She jumped off the horse and walked in without looking at him: "No problem."
"Young master is exhausted, this subordinate will let someone prepare dinner..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingrong stopped and looked at him thoughtfully.
Zixiu was startled, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head in fright: "Young Master..."
Lu Qingrong paused for a while, then said: "There is no rush for dinner, you can ask Dr. Ge to find me at my place later."
"Yes." Although Zixiu was puzzled, he still didn't dare to ask further questions.
"Qilin, you and Ziqin brought her to the side courtyard." Lu Qingrong turned her head and looked at Shen Shuangzhao with an unfathomable gaze.
Qilin agreed, looking at Shen Shuangzhao who could barely see his original face, only felt curious in his heart.I don't know who this girl is who can make Lu Qingrong rescue her.
----------------------------------------------------------
Jing Zheng was sitting in her room concentrating on embroidery, when suddenly she heard a noise coming from the courtyard, she stretched her head to look outside, and saw Huan Hong, Zi Qin Qilin and several maids heading towards the east room up.
She usually lives in this courtyard alone, and few people come over.Now that there are so many more people suddenly, she is a little uneasy.Thinking about it, Jing Zheng put down her work and walked out the door.
She went out to the yard, and Ziqin and Qilin happened to enter the east room.Her eyes were preoccupied with seeing why the two of them had entered the room, and she accidentally bumped into Huan Hong.
"Yes...I'm sorry..." Seeing that it was Huanhong, Jing Zheng felt fearful, and apologized timidly to her.
Huan Hong glared at her, then snorted coldly, "Why are you out watching?"
Jing Zheng just lowered his head and twisted his fingers together, both aggrieved and afraid.
"Miss will come over later, don't run around, don't miss her business." Huan Hong said sternly.
"I...I know..." Jing Zheng agreed.
Huan Hong flicked her sleeves in disdain and left her alone, and walked towards the east room.Thinking about it now, I really regret bringing Jingzheng back to Shahai three years ago.Such a timid and soft-hearted person is useless to her and Lu Qingrong. It would be easier to kill her with a sword in Shuilan City.
After Huan Hong left, Jing Zheng returned to the room.Even so, she still opened the window a small slit, and quietly watched the situation of the east room by the afterglow of the evening sunset.
Not long after Huan Hong entered that room, Jing Zheng saw Lu Qingrong and Doctor Ge coming together. Doctor Ge was still carrying his medicine box, and they also entered that room.
Not long after, Jing Zheng saw the maid come out of the room in a hurry, and then took something and went back to the east room. Afterwards, a woman's scream of pain came from the room, Jing Zheng was frightened and dared not move .
"Doctor Ge, look at her wounds." Lu Qingrong stared at the person on the bed, Shen Shuangzhao's ruined face was reflected in her deep eyes, "I did some simple treatment for her wounds on the way back. .”
Doctor Ge inspected Shen Shuangzhao's injuries, and said: "Young master, although this girl's injuries look serious, they can be healed. If she takes more time to recuperate, she will definitely recover."
"Then what about the injury on her face?" Lu Qingrong looked calm, but her eyes still stayed on Shen Shuangzhao.
Dr. Ge shook his head: "The wound on this girl's face is too deep, and it was melted away by stones. Some of the skin and flesh have already festered and even been gouged out. In addition, the wound has been there for some time. Even if the subordinate uses good medicinal materials Healing, I am afraid that this girl's face will still be disfigured."
"Doctor Ge, you are the best doctor in my sand sea. If you can't heal her, can you tell that her face is indeed irreparable?" Covered with a thin veil.
"This..." Dr. Ge stroked his beard, hesitant to speak.
Lu Qingrong heard his hesitation, and turned to face him: "As long as there is even a slight possibility to save you, please tell me without reservation, Doctor Ge."
It was rare for Lu Qingrong to speak to people in such a humble tone. Doctor Ge seemed a little panicked. He knelt down: "If you talk about the person with the most powerful medical skills in Shahai, it is definitely not a subordinate. Although the young master is good at using poison, but in medical skills His accomplishments are not inferior to others."
Lu Qingrong: "Don't say compliments. You are an elder, and I am inferior to you in terms of experience. Just like now, I don't know how to save her face, but there is a glimmer of hope for you. .”
"Boundless water." Dr. Ge said, "If used properly, the infinite water can make the skin grow quickly, and it can also make the new flesh and old flesh bond together quickly. Generally speaking, just a few days can make her His appearance was restored."
"What's the price?" I'm afraid this is the key.
"Before using the infinite water, you must clean the wound on your face, and goug out all the rotten flesh." The pain can be imagined, Dr. Ge explained, "The infinite water is strong, and it itches and hurts after dripping into the wound. The fire is burning, and the pain lasts longer than salt on the wound. Even mandalas can't alleviate the pain."
Lu Qingrong: "What else?"
"The amount of Wuxian Water must also be strictly controlled, and there is a certain degree. It is not acceptable to use more or less. If you use too much, you will hurt your eyes and brain, ranging from blindness to death; if you use too little, it will be difficult to heal the skin and flesh. It's a waste of effort, and the wound will only fester more."
After hearing this, Lu Qingrong glanced at Shen Shuangzhao out of the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help comparing the old Shen Shuangzhao with the current her in her mind.
The former Shen Shuangzhao had a delicate face and a graceful figure.She is obviously a beautiful girl, but she likes to treat people with an indifferent expression.This kind of contrast is interesting to Lu Qingrong now.And the way she glared at herself when she was angry... It wasn't that she cared much about Shen Shuangzhao, it was just that she couldn't let go of that face that made her feel funny.In other words, she has other purposes for keeping the frosty photo and her face.
"Doctor Ge, prepare and use the infinite water." Lu Qingrong said.
"Yes." Doctor Ge was panicked, and the young master was also cruel to let the girl on the bed suffer so much.However, looking at the girl's features, she must have been a beautiful woman before.If the temporary pain can be exchanged for the former appearance, it may be worth it.
Dr. Ge ordered someone to fetch Wuyin water, and he took care of the wounds on Shen Shuangzhao's body first.Ziqin and others turned their backs to avoid, Huanhong asked Lu Qingrong: "Miss, why do you insist on healing the wound on Shen Shuangzhao's face?"
Lu Qingrong raised her eyebrows a little, and chuckled lightly, but that laughter sounded a bit cold: "There is no reason, I am happy." Regarding this, if Lu Qingrong really wanted to give a sufficient reason, she really couldn't tell.Well, it was due to her whim, her bad nature.
"But when Shen Shuangzhao wakes up, she will definitely blame you for what happened to her..." Huan Hong hesitated to speak.
Lu Qingrong smiled: "After you say that, I look forward to Shen Shuangzhao who will sting people even more. Rescue her and come back, just treat me as if I have another cat for fun."
Huan Hong's heart sank, probably there is no more cruel woman than Lu Qingrong.As long as she is happy, life and death are all in her mind.She is selfish, and she is also cruel.If such a woman falls in love with someone, she doesn't know where she will go.
Not long after, the maid came back with boundless water as ordered.
"Ziqin, Qilin, please hold this girl down, I'm going to clean the wound on her face." Dr. Ge said.
Some wounds on Shen Shuangzhao's face had already scabbed over, while some wounds had already festered, which looked particularly shocking.Although Dr. Ge's attack was considered light, when he used the burnt knife to gouged out the rotten flesh, Shen Shuang seemed to be crazy and began to struggle violently, screaming continuously.
It was this tragic cry that made Jing Zheng's heart skip a beat. Although she was terrified, she became more and more curious about what happened in that room.After a period of psychological struggle, she still couldn't hold back her growing curiosity, completely put aside Huan Hong's words just now, and tiptoed to the door of the east room.Stick it on the door and look in through the small hole in the door frame.
"Hold her down!" Doctor Ge said to Ziqin and Qilin.
The strength of the two men, Ziqin and Qilin, was no match for Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao fluttered her hands and feet, and unintentionally knocked out the knife in Dr. Ge's hand.Lu Qingrong couldn't dodge in time, the sharp knife cut a long gash on her arm, and blood oozed out instantly.
"Miss, your hand!" Huanhong exclaimed.
"Ah..." Jing Zheng outside the door naturally also saw the scene of Lu Qingrong's bleeding hand, and couldn't help but gasped.
Lu Qingrong has always been vigilant, she has a keen sense of hearing, and immediately sensed someone outside the door: "Who?" Her eyes turned cold in an instant, ignoring the injury on her hand, and Huanhong had no time to stop her, so she went straight to the door up.
Seeing this, Jing Zheng's pupils shrank sharply because of panic, she turned around, and before she could run away, Lu Qingrong grabbed her neck.The wound on Lu Qingrong's hand was still bleeding, and the blood flowed down his arm and onto Jing Zheng's snow-white neck.
"Young...young master..." Jing Zheng spoke out with difficulty.
Seeing that it was Jing Zheng, Lu Qingrong let go of her hand, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here sneakily?"
Jingzheng covered his neck and coughed in pain: "I heard a strange sound here just now, and I was worried that something might happen, so I came over to have a look..."
Lu Qingrong's eyes were sharp, with an expression of disbelief, but there was another sound in the room, and she had no time to pay attention to Jing Zheng, so she said "Go back to your own place", then turned and walked into the room.
Jing Zheng ran back to the boudoir, regretting that she shouldn't have inquired about Lu Qingrong's affairs.Now that I have been wronged, I can only hide in a corner and cry alone.
Shen Shuangzhao was still struggling violently, Ziqin, Qilin, and even Huanhong also went to help, and the three of them worked together to hold her down again.
"Young master, this process is really too painful. Not to mention she is a weak woman, even a strong man can't bear it. If she is not careful, she may not even be able to save her life. You see, either... or Forget it?" Doctor Ge couldn't bear it, and said to Lu Qingrong.In his opinion, appearance is the most important thing in life after all.
After hearing this, Lu Qingrong's black eyes were slightly rippling, but after a moment of silence, her face remained calm, and she said: "Continue."
The author has something to say: I made up all the medicines in it?_? I can only try to make it reasonable, please forgive me
☆, reason
"What do you think the young master is doing? A few years ago, he brought back a Jingzheng, and recently brought back a half-dead woman." In the inner city of Shahai, the maids were talking about Lu Qingrong bringing Shen Shuangzhao back after dinner.
"It's fine if you're half dead..." Another maid suppressed her voice, "I heard from the maid who was sent to Jingmingxuan to work as an errand, that the girl who was brought back was even disfigured!"
The maid was shocked: "Disfigured? Why did the young master bring an ugly monster back?"
"What an ugly monster? It is said that the young master didn't even eat any food after he came back that day. He recruited Dr. Ge and went to Jingmingxuan, saying that it was to restore the girl's appearance. It seems that the young master cares about the girl, otherwise why would I care?" Is he alive or dead?" Someone joined the discussion.
The maid looked around vigilantly: "Do you think the young master is a womanizer? After all, she is not young, and I have never seen her fall in love with any man, but she brought two women back in the past few years. This time Look at her behavior again, isn't it abnormal?"
The other person covered her mouth in fright: "Shh...you're talking nonsense! If someone hears this and tells the young master, it's no exaggeration for you to be torn apart."
……
Standing behind the tree, Jing Zheng felt as if he had been poured into Coptis chinensis after listening to the words of these maids, it was extremely bitter.Since she was taken back to Shahai by Huanhong three years ago, she was placed in Jingmingxuan by Lu Qingrong.
At the beginning, she tried to escape several times, but she was finally captured and suffered a lot.But she still didn't give up, but even if she could escape from the sandy city, she had nowhere to go in the face of the vast desert outside.It is easier said than done to return to the water and the city with high mountains and high water.
In the last escape, Jing Zheng was exhausted and lost in a piece of yellow sand.When she was about to faint, a shade suddenly appeared under the scorching sun.She looked up, only to see a pair of eyes as deep as a secluded pool locked on her.
Lu Qingrong stood in front of her, staring at her, with an expression on her face under the veil.At that time, Jing Zheng thought that he was probably going to die.After all, she still hasn't forgotten how Lu Qingrong brutally murdered the pharmacist that night.Jing Zheng closed her eyes, her lips turned white due to dryness, and she resigned herself to waiting for death.
But after waiting for a long time, only waiting for a word from Lu Qingrong, she said: "When you come to Shahai, you are Shahai's people, don't run away anymore."
Jing Zheng opened her eyes, and only saw the back of Lu Qingrong going away alone, soft, lonely, and cold... In just that moment, Jing Zheng saw so many emotions of Lu Qingrong.An indescribable feeling swept over her heart, which made her unable to think.
Later, Jing Zheng settled down in Jingmingxuan. Although she missed her parents in Shuilan City, she didn't run away.Lu Qingrong's words were polite to her on the surface, but Jing Zheng was also very polite.
Chu Xingzhi?Shen Shuangzhao was not familiar with this name, but she had heard it mentioned by her master once.A few years ago, she eavesdropped on Xueqing talking about the sword with her master in the main hall, and the master mentioned the word "Xingzhi".She didn't pay attention at the time, but now she thinks it should be the name of Master's husband.
"City Lord, Shen Shuangzhao is still unwilling to say a word." Lan Xin said.
Zhao Yueyao let go, and Shen Shuangzhao left a few finger marks on her fair face: "It doesn't matter if she talks or not, I also have ways to make her talk. Xuemei, bring Yan'er here—"
Ling Yan was brought over by Xuemei, she looked at Shen Shuangzhao with complicated eyes.Before, she was only worried about Xuemei, but now Zhao Yueyao has another bargaining chip.Although she and Shen Shuangzhao were not close friends, she couldn't ignore Shen Shuangzhao's life and death.
"Just now you begged me to spare Qiurui's life. Originally, I was determined to kill her, but I changed my mind." Zhao Yueyao said.
Things turned around for Qiurui, but Ling Yan had a vague premonition, she subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, waiting for Zhao Yueyao's words.
Zhao Yueyao drew out the sword, and Shen Shuang immediately recognized that it was the sword given to her by her master a few years ago.
"Yan'er, I'll give you two choices——Qiu Rui and Shen Shuangzhao can only live alone, whose life do you choose to keep?"
Shen Shuangzhao and Ling Yan opened their eyes in unison after hearing this, and their gazes met.Shen Shuang stared at her calmly with bright black eyes, focused but without fear.It was Ling Yan who took the lead to look away.She bowed her head, her lips trembling, she was the one who decided, so she couldn't be as calm as Shen Shuangzhao.
Zhao Yueyao looked at her indifferently: "Why do you hesitate? Qiurui has been with you since childhood, and she has a loyal master-servant relationship and a sincere sisterhood towards you. If you talk about who cares most about you in this world now , there is no doubt that it is Qiurui."
When Ling Yan raised and closed her eyelids, a tear fell down.
"What kind of friendship does Shen Shuangzhao have with you? Although you never admitted it, I know very well that she was able to escape the guards' search three years ago, because you hid her behind your back? As for the fact that you went to Shuilan City a few days ago , I don’t think I can get away from her. However, I never thought that Qiurui can’t compare to her in your heart.” Zhao Yueyao’s tone was not kind, and every sentence was mocking Ling Yan, “You are still hesitating at the moment of life and death. Rui, I really feel sorry for you."
"That's enough..." Ling Yan interrupted her, "I don't need the city lord to comment on how Qiurui and I are."
Zhao Yueyao looked at the sword in his hand and asked: "How?"
Ling Yan looked at the fainted Qiurui, and then at Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao saw apology and guilt in Ling Yan's amber eyes, and she smiled faintly at Ling Yan.It is reasonable for Ling Yan to choose Qiurui, but she does not have much friendship with Ling Yan.
Furthermore, why does Ling Yan need to feel sorry for herself?If she knew that she had agreed to Lu Qingrong to steal the piano left by her parents in order to steal her life earlier, maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty.It's a pity that she can't speak now, otherwise she will tell Ling Yan about it.It's all her own fault that she has fallen into this situation today.
"Qiu Rui and I are sisters, I can't ignore her." Ling Yan suppressed the shock in his heart and said slowly.
Zhao Yueyao was determined that Ling Yan would protect Qiurui, so she was not surprised to hear her say this: "Okay, if that's the case, then you stab this sword into Shen Shuangzhao's chest."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.The city lord has always loved Ling Yan, but today he would make such a request.Shen Shuangzhao's heart trembled, even though she was an assassin, she would kill herself with one knife, why bother?According to what she said before, she would hate herself so much, it seems to have a lot to do with Master.Could it be that the two of them have a great festival?
"No..." Ling Yan is just a weak woman, she hasn't even killed a chicken, how can she resist killing someone?She was so frightened that she stepped back, turned around and wanted to escape.
Zhao Yueyao grabbed her and hugged her tightly from behind, she leaned into Ling Yan's ear: "If you dare to run away, Qiurui will never survive."
"Don't... City Lord, I beg you, I won't kill people..." Ling Yan was about to collapse, shaking her head, tears all over her face, "Please let me go..."
Zhao Yueyao broke away Ling Yan's hand, put the sword in her hand, and then held her hand with his own: "Well, we won't kill people if Yan'er says we don't. I'll teach you how to use a sword... …" As she spoke, she raised the sword with Ling Yan's hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Shen Shuangzhao.
"Don't..." Ling Yan wanted to break free from Zhao Yueyao, but Zhao Yueyao imprisoned her tightly, leaving her no room for change.
Shen Shuangzhao's face began to turn pale, she didn't know what Zhao Yueyao was going to do to her, and she was still unavoidably afraid.The guards held her tightly, and she had no chance of escape.Even, because of Lu Qingrong's medicine, she couldn't even say a word of resistance.
Zhao Yueyao held Ling Yan's hand, and pressed the tip of her sword against Shen Shuangzhao's face: "I hate Chu Xingzhi the most, and I can't tolerate people who are somewhat similar to him. So...your face..."
Before Ling Yan could react, as soon as Zhao Yueyao exerted force, a long bloodstain appeared on Shen Shuangzhao's left face.
Shen Shuangzhao didn't feel any pain at first, but felt hot liquid flowing down her face.She didn't know what happened until she saw the blood dripping on her clothes.
Afterwards, Zhao Yueyao slashed her right cheek several times, and Shen Shuang's face was covered with blood in an instant.The pain gradually gathered, she gritted her teeth, her face was burning with pain.
"Ah..." Ling Yan looked at Shen Shuangzhao who was covered in blood, and screamed uncontrollably, and finally she couldn't bear the stimulation and fainted in Zhao Yueyao's arms.
Zhao Yueyao supported Ling Yan's limp body: "Take Shen Shuangzhao down and put him in prison."
"City Master, then...then do you want to inform Shen Wanrong that she is with us?" Lan Xin asked.
Zhao Yueyao said: "No need, I want to see how long it takes for Shen Wanrong to find out that her good apprentice is in my hands." This time, she insisted on forcing her to come to see her.

☆, rescue
"It's getting so late, Miss Shen hasn't come back for a long time, but something happened?" The sky was getting dark, and the two maids of Qingshuang Palace began to worry again.
"Miss Shen said that she had an appointment with a friend, but which friend made her stay so long?" Nan Yan, the maid, stomped her feet anxiously, "It's all our fault, we shouldn't trust her words."
At that time, Shen Shuang saw that they would not let her go out of the city, so she changed her plan to visit Tang Mengxuan.Nan Yan followed her and didn't think too much when she saw that she was going in the direction of Menglin Courtyard.Later, they met Tang Mengxuan who had just returned to the inner city on the road, and learned that Shen Shuangzhao never went to Menglin Academy.Only then did they realize that Shen Shuang must have gone out of the city again under a cover.
Xiaotao said: "This matter can't be delayed, let's go to Menglin Academy and ask if we have seen Miss Shen."
The two hurried to Menglin Courtyard, and met Sang Yu on the way.
"Where are you two going in such a hurry?" Sang Yu recognized them as Shen Shuangzhao's maid, and stopped them.
Nanyan and Xiaotao naturally knew that the relationship between Sang Yu and Shen Shuangzhao had not been good in recent years, and they were even more frightened when they were called by Sang Yu.
"Miss Huisang, we are going to ask Miss Tang something." Nan Yan said tremblingly.
Sang Yu was puzzled: "You people from Qingshuang Palace want to ask about Mengxuan, and it probably has something to do with my junior sister." Seeing the change in the expressions of the two of them, she felt that something happened to Shen Shuangzhao, "I heard that my junior sister has been hugging her body for the past two days. Chi, as a senior sister, I haven't even visited, so it doesn't make sense logically. Why don't I just take the time now and I'll go with you to Qingshuang Palace..."
Before she finished speaking, Nan Yan and Xiao Tao both knelt down: "Miss Sang, Miss Shen hasn't come back yet, we are worried that something happened to her."
"How do you say that?" Sang Yu asked.
Nan Yan and Xiao Tao tell the truth to Sang Yu.
Sang Yu thought for a while: "Perhaps the younger junior sister had an important appointment with a friend, so she delayed her return. Don't worry, I will send someone to the outer city to inquire about her. You two go back first, maybe the younger sister will wait a while Just came back."
"My servant thanked Miss Sang."
Sang Yu smiled: "I'm a senior sister, I should. By the way—" she instructed again, "Don't tell others about the fact that the junior sister has not returned, otherwise if it gets to the master's ears, the one who is punished will still be punished." Not you?"
Xiaotao nodded again and again: "Miss Sang said yes, this servant will go back to Qingshuang Palace and wait for Miss Shen to come back. If Miss Sang has any news here, please send someone to inform us."
"Of course, you go back." Sang Yu agreed.
The two were very grateful to Sang Yu, thanked them and went back.After walking a few steps, she bumped into Tang Mengxuan again. Tang Mengxuan was surprised. Looking at their backs as they left in a hurry, she asked Sang Yu, "Why do people from Shuangzhao keep running this way today?"
Sang Yu said: "It's nothing, I just came here to ask me to pay more attention to her because I was afraid that my junior sister would run out of the city for fun."
"Shuangzhao is not playful..."
"Have you said enough?" Sang Yu immediately showed displeasure.
Tang Mengxuan thought that maybe she was still thinking about Shuangzhao's talking back to her two days ago, and she didn't intend to make her angry, so she changed the subject: "Okay, is your cold better?" Last time Sang Yu was also drenched in the rain Suffering from the cold, Tang Mengxuan was always thinking about her.
"Yes." Sang Yu replied sullenly.
"Then I'm relieved. It's time for dinner. Let's go."
Sang Yu was dragged away by her but didn't say anything, thinking of Shen Shuangzhao again, she couldn't help sneering, don't come back, you'd better not come back in this life!
-------------------------------------------------- ------
"Tut tsk tsk..." Zhao Yueyao came to the prison, looked at Shen Shuangzhao's blood-stained face and sighed, "A face that was originally good has turned into this, let alone me, even Shen Wanrong can't recognize that it's her The most beloved little apprentice."
Shen Shuangzhao was tightly tied up and hung up, with bloodstained wounds all over her body.She was tortured so weakly that when she heard Zhao Yueyao's voice, she just reluctantly raised her head and glanced at her.
"You are not only courageous, but also capable." Zhao Yueyao raised Shen Shuangzhao's chin with the jailer's sword in disgust, "It is normal for Shen Wanrong to love you, after all, the relationship between master and apprentice for more than ten years is there, plus you This face... If it wasn't for the death of Chu Xingzhi's evil seed back then, I really thought you were her. But what I can't figure out is that Ling Yan didn't know you back then, and she would take the risk to save you. Last night for She is even more in a dilemma about your life. Shen Shuangzhao, you are really clever."
Shen Shuangzhao half-opened her eyes and was forced to raise her head.I have already laughed at Zhao Yueyao thousands of times in my heart.A cruel and ruthless person like Zhao Yueyao shouldn't get any love.Ling Yan stayed by her side, but Ling Yan suffered.
"I don't know if you're really dumb or just pretending, but don't think I'll let you go if you don't speak. Now I'll save your life for the time being. I want Shen Wanrong to see her most beloved disciple with her own eyes. How is it?" Die slowly." Zhao Yueyao said cruelly and coldly, "It's been a night, and your good master hasn't noticed that you're gone..."
Shen Shuangzhao felt that she had done it to herself, and specially asked Shen Wanrong for a few days of vacation because of Ling Yan's matter, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such a situation.But it's fine if Master doesn't find out, if she knows that she has come to Qingcheng again, she will definitely be furious.The master also said that if she went out of the city privately again, their master-student relationship would be broken.And if she is to be saved, conflicts will inevitably break out between the two cities, and she does not want people to die because of her.
"It's okay...she will always find out." Zhao Yueyao's words seemed to comfort her on the surface, "The longer she finds out, the longer I can torture you."
Shen Shuangzhao lamented that Qingcheng is not a good place, at least for her.She was also to blame for being impulsive and reckless three years ago, when she accidentally strayed into Qingcheng, that's why she got entangled with a woman like Lu Qingrong and Zhao Yueyao who had a heart like a snake and a scorpion.Compared with them, I was simply too immature, which led to my current fate.
"Give me a good look at her, don't let her die accidentally." Zhao Yueyao said to the jailer in a cold voice.
After Zhao Yueyao left, Shen Shuangzhao lowered her head weakly again, besides the wanton pain from the wound on her body, her body seemed to start to feel hot again.His head was dizzy, and even his vision gradually became blurred.Probably fate is destined to have this calamity, if she can't avoid it, then she really can't.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shuang vaguely heard someone calling her name.When she woke up from her dream, she saw a man dressed as a cell boss in front of her.
"Miss Shen?" the man called her softly.
Shen Shuangzhao looked at him suspiciously, but couldn't remember who he was after thinking for a long time.
The prison boss said: "I don't know if you still remember me. Three years ago, I was at the river outside the city. Thanks to you, I blocked Lu Qingrong's sword for me. I was able to survive." He was originally the chief guard in the inner city. After the incident a year ago, he was demoted and came to this prison as the cell boss.
After hearing what he said, Shen Shuang remembered that this was indeed the case, she nodded.
"Last night, I heard that you were arrested and brought in. I was quite struggling. Although you are the prisoner of the city lord, you are also my savior." When he saw Shen Shuangzhao's bloodstained face, he felt very sorry and had a good face. Just ruined like that, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live in the world now. Today is the time, and I will naturally repay you for saving my life."
-------------------------------------------------- -----
"Two more people died in the prison today. Hurry up and transport the dead bodies out of the city, so as not to stink in time." The cell leader said to the two jailers.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two guards were slacking off drinking, and they were very panicked when they were drunk by the cell boss.
The jailer carried the two corpses wrapped in straw mats into the car, and then they were transported out of the inner city.After carrying the body back to the cell, the jailer glanced at Shen Shuangzhao, whose head was hanging down, and couldn't help sighing: "What a beautiful girl, why bother to offend the city lord? It's pitiful to be reduced to this point... hey..." The two sighed Then, went to drink again.
Outside the city, the cell boss helped Shen Shuangzhao out of the car: "Miss Shen, here are some food and silver. You should go west on horseback, and you'd better get out of Qingcheng. Sooner or later it will be discovered that the death row prisoner took your place. Can you run away?" Run as far as you can, and don't return to Qingcheng in the near future, otherwise you will be caught by the city lord."
Shen Shuang nodded and clasped his fists to thank him.
"Actually, after you leave Qingmen Pass, there is a river nearby. Although it will take you a while to walk east along the river, you should be able to return to Shuilan City. As for whether you can succeed or not, it depends on you." It’s your luck.” The cell boss said, “I can only help you so far, and you have to take care of yourself in the future.” He also wanted to repay that kindness.
Shen Shuangzhao bid farewell to him, braced her bruised body to get on the horse, and with a flick of the whip, the horse flew away.
The cell leader let out a breath, stayed for a while and then left.
Shen Shuangzhao hurried on the road without stopping, and finally saw Qingmen Pass in the morning of the second day.But at this time, she was already exhausted, and the pain from the wound on her body and the high fever tortured her to the point of fainting.
Outside Qingmen Pass is the desert, the sun has already risen, and the surrounding temperature rises very fast because of the sand.Shen Shuangzhao was riding a horse, and the bamboo hat she wore on her head covered her scratched face.
The river... The cell boss said that there is a river nearby, and as long as she finds the river, she will have the hope of returning to Shuilan City.
She clamped the horse's belly, and the horse took a few steps forward.Shen Shuang looked around for traces of the river, but as the sun got worse, her physical discomfort became more and more serious.
Surrounded by yellow sand, she didn't know if it was her illusion or it was true, Shen Shuangzhao could only feel the scorching sun above her head spinning continuously, she blinked, but finally couldn't hold on, fell off the horse, completely fainted on the ground.
"Miss, Ziqin has already prepared chariots and horses outside Qingmen Pass, waiting for you to pass." Qilin said.
"Understood." Lu Qingrong closed his eyes and fell asleep on the boat, and the boat would be able to dock soon.
When they got to the shore, Ziqin and several people had been waiting for a long time with their horses and camels.After Lu Qingrong got on the horse, they left together.
They hadn't walked much when Qilin, who was leading the way, stopped.Lu Qingrong was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There is a horse in front, it seems that someone is nearby." Qilin replied.
Lu Qingrong raised his vigilance: "Qilin, go and see what's going on, and beware of ambushes."
"Yes." Qilin pulled out his sword and jumped off the horse.He cautiously walked a few steps forward, and found Shen Shuangzhao lying on the ground.He carefully picked up Shen Shuangzhao's bamboo hat with his sword, and when he saw the shocking scars on her face, he was taken aback suddenly.
"Miss, it looks like that horse belongs to the woman who was seriously injured. The woman fell on the ground, still breathing a bit. See if we..." Qi Lin came back and reported to Lu Qingrong.
Lu Qingrong looked forward, only seeing the torn black clothes: "Don't meddle in your own business, let's go back to the sandy sea as soon as possible."
"Yes." Hearing what she said, Qilin could only agree.
Several people continued to move forward, but when Lu Qingrong passed by Shen Shuangzhao, she didn't pay much attention.Just when her horse was about to leave Shen Shuangzhao behind, Lu Qingrong heard a very faint bell, so weak that she felt that she had heard it wrong.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Qingrong said, she stopped her horse, looked around, and finally stopped her gaze on the person on the ground.She jumped off the horse and approached that person, before she could see who she was, she was dazzled by something reflecting light.
Lu Qingrong squatted down and took the man's hand, only to see the silver bell shining in the sun.The familiar red string, the familiar bell... She turned the man's face with her hand again - but it was no longer the face she was familiar with...
Huan Hong came over and was taken aback: "This...isn't this Shen Shuang's photo? How did it become like this?"
Lu Qingrong looked at Shen Shuangzhao's face and frowned, with emotions fluctuating in her eyes, she said, "Take it back."
The author has something to say: save character
☆, appearance
It would take a day and a half to return to Shahai City from Qingmen Pass, but Lu Qingrong and the others had rushed back to Shahai in the evening.
"The subordinates don't know that the young master is returning to the city, so he is far away to welcome him." Zixiu said.
Lu Qingrong rode a horse to the gate of the inner city. She jumped off the horse and walked in without looking at him: "No problem."
"Young master is exhausted, this subordinate will let someone prepare dinner..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingrong stopped and looked at him thoughtfully.
Zixiu was startled, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head in fright: "Young Master..."
Lu Qingrong paused for a while, then said: "There is no rush for dinner, you can ask Dr. Ge to find me at my place later."
"Yes." Although Zixiu was puzzled, he still didn't dare to ask further questions.
"Qilin, you and Ziqin brought her to the side courtyard." Lu Qingrong turned her head and looked at Shen Shuangzhao with an unfathomable gaze.
Qilin agreed, looking at Shen Shuangzhao who could barely see his original face, only felt curious in his heart.I don't know who this girl is who can make Lu Qingrong rescue her.
----------------------------------------------------------
Jing Zheng was sitting in her room concentrating on embroidery, when suddenly she heard a noise coming from the courtyard, she stretched her head to look outside, and saw Huan Hong, Zi Qin Qilin and several maids heading towards the east room up.
She usually lives in this courtyard alone, and few people come over.Now that there are so many more people suddenly, she is a little uneasy.Thinking about it, Jing Zheng put down her work and walked out the door.
She went out to the yard, and Ziqin and Qilin happened to enter the east room.Her eyes were preoccupied with seeing why the two of them had entered the room, and she accidentally bumped into Huan Hong.
"Yes...I'm sorry..." Seeing that it was Huanhong, Jing Zheng felt fearful, and apologized timidly to her.
Huan Hong glared at her, then snorted coldly, "Why are you out watching?"
Jing Zheng just lowered his head and twisted his fingers together, both aggrieved and afraid.
"Miss will come over later, don't run around, don't miss her business." Huan Hong said sternly.
"I...I know..." Jing Zheng agreed.
Huan Hong flicked her sleeves in disdain and left her alone, and walked towards the east room.Thinking about it now, I really regret bringing Jingzheng back to Shahai three years ago.Such a timid and soft-hearted person is useless to her and Lu Qingrong. It would be easier to kill her with a sword in Shuilan City.
After Huan Hong left, Jing Zheng returned to the room.Even so, she still opened the window a small slit, and quietly watched the situation of the east room by the afterglow of the evening sunset.
Not long after Huan Hong entered that room, Jing Zheng saw Lu Qingrong and Doctor Ge coming together. Doctor Ge was still carrying his medicine box, and they also entered that room.
Not long after, Jing Zheng saw the maid come out of the room in a hurry, and then took something and went back to the east room. Afterwards, a woman's scream of pain came from the room, Jing Zheng was frightened and dared not move .
"Doctor Ge, look at her wounds." Lu Qingrong stared at the person on the bed, Shen Shuangzhao's ruined face was reflected in her deep eyes, "I did some simple treatment for her wounds on the way back. .”
Doctor Ge inspected Shen Shuangzhao's injuries, and said: "Young master, although this girl's injuries look serious, they can be healed. If she takes more time to recuperate, she will definitely recover."
"Then what about the injury on her face?" Lu Qingrong looked calm, but her eyes still stayed on Shen Shuangzhao.
Dr. Ge shook his head: "The wound on this girl's face is too deep, and it was melted away by stones. Some of the skin and flesh have already festered and even been gouged out. In addition, the wound has been there for some time. Even if the subordinate uses good medicinal materials Healing, I am afraid that this girl's face will still be disfigured."
"Doctor Ge, you are the best doctor in my sand sea. If you can't heal her, can you tell that her face is indeed irreparable?" Covered with a thin veil.
"This..." Dr. Ge stroked his beard, hesitant to speak.
Lu Qingrong heard his hesitation, and turned to face him: "As long as there is even a slight possibility to save you, please tell me without reservation, Doctor Ge."
It was rare for Lu Qingrong to speak to people in such a humble tone. Doctor Ge seemed a little panicked. He knelt down: "If you talk about the person with the most powerful medical skills in Shahai, it is definitely not a subordinate. Although the young master is good at using poison, but in medical skills His accomplishments are not inferior to others."
Lu Qingrong: "Don't say compliments. You are an elder, and I am inferior to you in terms of experience. Just like now, I don't know how to save her face, but there is a glimmer of hope for you. .”
"Boundless water." Dr. Ge said, "If used properly, the infinite water can make the skin grow quickly, and it can also make the new flesh and old flesh bond together quickly. Generally speaking, just a few days can make her His appearance was restored."
"What's the price?" I'm afraid this is the key.
"Before using the infinite water, you must clean the wound on your face, and goug out all the rotten flesh." The pain can be imagined, Dr. Ge explained, "The infinite water is strong, and it itches and hurts after dripping into the wound. The fire is burning, and the pain lasts longer than salt on the wound. Even mandalas can't alleviate the pain."
Lu Qingrong: "What else?"
"The amount of Wuxian Water must also be strictly controlled, and there is a certain degree. It is not acceptable to use more or less. If you use too much, you will hurt your eyes and brain, ranging from blindness to death; if you use too little, it will be difficult to heal the skin and flesh. It's a waste of effort, and the wound will only fester more."
After hearing this, Lu Qingrong glanced at Shen Shuangzhao out of the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help comparing the old Shen Shuangzhao with the current her in her mind.
The former Shen Shuangzhao had a delicate face and a graceful figure.She is obviously a beautiful girl, but she likes to treat people with an indifferent expression.This kind of contrast is interesting to Lu Qingrong now.And the way she glared at herself when she was angry... It wasn't that she cared much about Shen Shuangzhao, it was just that she couldn't let go of that face that made her feel funny.In other words, she has other purposes for keeping the frosty photo and her face.
"Doctor Ge, prepare and use the infinite water." Lu Qingrong said.
"Yes." Doctor Ge was panicked, and the young master was also cruel to let the girl on the bed suffer so much.However, looking at the girl's features, she must have been a beautiful woman before.If the temporary pain can be exchanged for the former appearance, it may be worth it.
Dr. Ge ordered someone to fetch Wuyin water, and he took care of the wounds on Shen Shuangzhao's body first.Ziqin and others turned their backs to avoid, Huanhong asked Lu Qingrong: "Miss, why do you insist on healing the wound on Shen Shuangzhao's face?"
Lu Qingrong raised her eyebrows a little, and chuckled lightly, but that laughter sounded a bit cold: "There is no reason, I am happy." Regarding this, if Lu Qingrong really wanted to give a sufficient reason, she really couldn't tell.Well, it was due to her whim, her bad nature.
"But when Shen Shuangzhao wakes up, she will definitely blame you for what happened to her..." Huan Hong hesitated to speak.
Lu Qingrong smiled: "After you say that, I look forward to Shen Shuangzhao who will sting people even more. Rescue her and come back, just treat me as if I have another cat for fun."
Huan Hong's heart sank, probably there is no more cruel woman than Lu Qingrong.As long as she is happy, life and death are all in her mind.She is selfish, and she is also cruel.If such a woman falls in love with someone, she doesn't know where she will go.
Not long after, the maid came back with boundless water as ordered.
"Ziqin, Qilin, please hold this girl down, I'm going to clean the wound on her face." Dr. Ge said.
Some wounds on Shen Shuangzhao's face had already scabbed over, while some wounds had already festered, which looked particularly shocking.Although Dr. Ge's attack was considered light, when he used the burnt knife to gouged out the rotten flesh, Shen Shuang seemed to be crazy and began to struggle violently, screaming continuously.
It was this tragic cry that made Jing Zheng's heart skip a beat. Although she was terrified, she became more and more curious about what happened in that room.After a period of psychological struggle, she still couldn't hold back her growing curiosity, completely put aside Huan Hong's words just now, and tiptoed to the door of the east room.Stick it on the door and look in through the small hole in the door frame.
"Hold her down!" Doctor Ge said to Ziqin and Qilin.
The strength of the two men, Ziqin and Qilin, was no match for Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao fluttered her hands and feet, and unintentionally knocked out the knife in Dr. Ge's hand.Lu Qingrong couldn't dodge in time, the sharp knife cut a long gash on her arm, and blood oozed out instantly.
"Miss, your hand!" Huanhong exclaimed.
"Ah..." Jing Zheng outside the door naturally also saw the scene of Lu Qingrong's bleeding hand, and couldn't help but gasped.
Lu Qingrong has always been vigilant, she has a keen sense of hearing, and immediately sensed someone outside the door: "Who?" Her eyes turned cold in an instant, ignoring the injury on her hand, and Huanhong had no time to stop her, so she went straight to the door up.
Seeing this, Jing Zheng's pupils shrank sharply because of panic, she turned around, and before she could run away, Lu Qingrong grabbed her neck.The wound on Lu Qingrong's hand was still bleeding, and the blood flowed down his arm and onto Jing Zheng's snow-white neck.
"Young...young master..." Jing Zheng spoke out with difficulty.
Seeing that it was Jing Zheng, Lu Qingrong let go of her hand, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here sneakily?"
Jingzheng covered his neck and coughed in pain: "I heard a strange sound here just now, and I was worried that something might happen, so I came over to have a look..."
Lu Qingrong's eyes were sharp, with an expression of disbelief, but there was another sound in the room, and she had no time to pay attention to Jing Zheng, so she said "Go back to your own place", then turned and walked into the room.
Jing Zheng ran back to the boudoir, regretting that she shouldn't have inquired about Lu Qingrong's affairs.Now that I have been wronged, I can only hide in a corner and cry alone.
Shen Shuangzhao was still struggling violently, Ziqin, Qilin, and even Huanhong also went to help, and the three of them worked together to hold her down again.
"Young master, this process is really too painful. Not to mention she is a weak woman, even a strong man can't bear it. If she is not careful, she may not even be able to save her life. You see, either... or Forget it?" Doctor Ge couldn't bear it, and said to Lu Qingrong.In his opinion, appearance is the most important thing in life after all.
After hearing this, Lu Qingrong's black eyes were slightly rippling, but after a moment of silence, her face remained calm, and she said: "Continue."
The author has something to say: I made up all the medicines in it?_? I can only try to make it reasonable, please forgive me
☆, reason
"What do you think the young master is doing? A few years ago, he brought back a Jingzheng, and recently brought back a half-dead woman." In the inner city of Shahai, the maids were talking about Lu Qingrong bringing Shen Shuangzhao back after dinner.
"It's fine if you're half dead..." Another maid suppressed her voice, "I heard from the maid who was sent to Jingmingxuan to work as an errand, that the girl who was brought back was even disfigured!"
The maid was shocked: "Disfigured? Why did the young master bring an ugly monster back?"
"What an ugly monster? It is said that the young master didn't even eat any food after he came back that day. He recruited Dr. Ge and went to Jingmingxuan, saying that it was to restore the girl's appearance. It seems that the young master cares about the girl, otherwise why would I care?" Is he alive or dead?" Someone joined the discussion.
The maid looked around vigilantly: "Do you think the young master is a womanizer? After all, she is not young, and I have never seen her fall in love with any man, but she brought two women back in the past few years. This time Look at her behavior again, isn't it abnormal?"
The other person covered her mouth in fright: "Shh...you're talking nonsense! If someone hears this and tells the young master, it's no exaggeration for you to be torn apart."
……
Standing behind the tree, Jing Zheng felt as if he had been poured into Coptis chinensis after listening to the words of these maids, it was extremely bitter.Since she was taken back to Shahai by Huanhong three years ago, she was placed in Jingmingxuan by Lu Qingrong.
At the beginning, she tried to escape several times, but she was finally captured and suffered a lot.But she still didn't give up, but even if she could escape from the sandy city, she had nowhere to go in the face of the vast desert outside.It is easier said than done to return to the water and the city with high mountains and high water.
In the last escape, Jing Zheng was exhausted and lost in a piece of yellow sand.When she was about to faint, a shade suddenly appeared under the scorching sun.She looked up, only to see a pair of eyes as deep as a secluded pool locked on her.
Lu Qingrong stood in front of her, staring at her, with an expression on her face under the veil.At that time, Jing Zheng thought that he was probably going to die.After all, she still hasn't forgotten how Lu Qingrong brutally murdered the pharmacist that night.Jing Zheng closed her eyes, her lips turned white due to dryness, and she resigned herself to waiting for death.
But after waiting for a long time, only waiting for a word from Lu Qingrong, she said: "When you come to Shahai, you are Shahai's people, don't run away anymore."
Jing Zheng opened her eyes, and only saw the back of Lu Qingrong going away alone, soft, lonely, and cold... In just that moment, Jing Zheng saw so many emotions of Lu Qingrong.An indescribable feeling swept over her heart, which made her unable to think.
Later, Jing Zheng settled down in Jingmingxuan. Although she missed her parents in Shuilan City, she didn't run away.Lu Qingrong's words were polite to her on the surface, but Jing Zheng was also very polite.
