Placid Chang'an

Chapter 26 Imprisonment

It was only when Su Cen walked around twice that he had no choice but to return to the room that he remembered that this was Princess Ning's room. He was only thinking about the case and forgot about the house.

When he wanted to go out again, Su Cen was surprised to find that he was under confinement.

As soon as the door was opened, two guards with knives blocked one from the left and the other from the right, "My lord has an order to let Mr. Su rest in his room."

Su Cen looked in disbelief, the person who was chatting and laughing with him at the Huxin Pavilion just now turned around and confined him?

"I want to see the prince." Su Cen raised his legs and walked out the door.

There was a flash of swords on the two guards, "Master Su, please don't embarrass the villain."

Su Cen looked at the bright blade and took two steps back resentfully, "Then I want to see Qi Lin."

"Master Qi is out on business, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back every ten days and a half months."

"What about Zheng Yang?" He only knew that Li Shi was an old fox, but ignored Zheng Yang, a little fox. If Zheng Yang hadn't informed Li Shi that he was leaving, he might not have ended up in this situation.

The two guards held their swords in their hands: "Xiao Shizi has already left."

Su Cen jumped up angrily, and finally slammed the door, only to go back to the room.

At the beginning, I only thought that Song Jiancheng played despicably, but compared with Li Shi, I really feel that he has been wronged.First lighting the incense to make him fall into a coma for three days, and now he is imprisoned in the mansion. When he goes out, let alone the case, the victim must have drunk Mengpo soup several times.

Su Cen gritted his teeth secretly, staying like this is not an option, he has to find a way to get out.

After a while, Su Cen opened the door again and said, "I'm hungry."

The two guards looked at each other in dismay, the prince only ordered them to keep an eye on him, but he didn't explain what to eat and drink, and there was no big problem, so he asked, "What do you eat?"

Su Cen counted them one by one with his fingers, "Danggui Chicken Soup, Gastrodia Suckling Pigeon Soup, Baizhi Pork Kidney Soup, and Bazhen Soup."

It's all...soup?

The two guards glanced at each other again, Su Cen said urgently: "I have been in a coma for three days, and my body is very weak, I need to make up."

After hesitating again and again, the two guards finally nodded, leaving one to watch, and the other went to the back kitchen to ask for food.

When the soup was delivered, Su Cen closed the door and opened it again after a while, only to see that the pots and pans were all empty, not even a bit of scum left on the bottom of the basin.

Su Cen drank the soup for three consecutive days, during which time he didn't see Li Shi once, but he became acquainted with the two guards.In the afternoon of that day, he also said that the flowers beside the Huxin Pavilion were blooming well, so he asked someone to pick a few bunches for him.

On the night of the third day, Su Cen only said that the two guards had worked hard on duty, holding two cups of ginger tea to warm them up.

It took only a while to drink a cup of tea, only to hear two blunt noises from outside the door, Su Cen opened the door and saw that both of them had fallen asleep on the ground.

Su Cen smiled slightly and walked out the door with big strides.

If he wanted to go out from the gate of Xingqing Palace, he would be throwing himself into a trap. Fortunately, when he was walking around that day, Su Cen remembered that there was a rockery next to Longchi, which was connected to the wall of Xingqing Palace. It was obviously more feasible to get out from the rockery Some.

It took Su Cen a long time to find the rockery according to his memory, and it took a lot of effort to climb up the palace wall. Su Cen looked down and couldn't help being terrified. Feeling weak, thinking about gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, he would at most break a leg, and was about to jump, when he heard coldly behind him: "Master Su is in a good mood in the middle of the night."

Su Cen was shocked and almost fell headfirst, turned around in disbelief, the expression on his face was more exciting than seeing a ghost.I saw Qi Lin standing under the rockery with his sword in his arms, looking straight at him.

"...I said I admired the moon," Su Cen glanced at the pitch-black night, "...do you believe it?"

Qi Lin didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, he flew up, grabbed Su Cen by the collar and threw him down.Even though the ground was covered with fluffy flowers and plants, Su Cen was thrown into darkness. Before he got up, the person behind him had landed firmly, "It's windy in the middle of the night, Mr. Su, let's go back and rest."

Su Cen was grabbed by the collar and dragged back to the residence, shouting and cursing all the way until his voice became hoarse, but Qi Lin was like a deaf man, and didn't answer a single word.

When they returned to the room, the two guards had already been carried away, and there were two unfamiliar faces at the door, with deep eyes and straight noses, Qi Lin gave a few orders in Turkic, and Su Cen couldn't understand a word.Several medicinal herbs that he had saved for several days were placed on the table one by one, including the bunch of vigorous mandala that was also found.

Qi Lin picked up the cup and sniffed it, "Mafeisan."

Su Cen scratched her head resentfully, "It's all planned by me, it has nothing to do with the two elder guards, and I hope Guard Qi will not embarrass them."

"They guarded poorly and ate other people's water and food indiscriminately. They should be punished."

"I forced them," Su Cen jumped, "You are reasonable!"

"You know what will happen to them if you leave tonight?"

Qi Lin didn't continue, but Su Cen was terrified and lowered his head helplessly, "I know, I won't run away again."

"From now on, all meals will be provided by the Imperial Dining Room." He raised his chin and gestured outside the door, "They will watch you eat. My advice is, they are all Turks. They don't know who you are, and they don't understand what you say." What, my order is that if there is any abnormality, shoot and kill, and I hope Master Su will take care of himself."

Su Cen glared at him resentfully, but Qi Lin completely turned a blind eye to him. As soon as he left the room, Su Cen hurriedly said from behind: "Guard Qi, do me a favor, I want to see Qu Ling'er."

Qi Lin glanced back at him, Su Cen added: "Just to explain some family affairs, and some official business in the yamen, with these two people here, Ling'er can't play tricks."

Qi Lin looked at him indifferently for a while, and saw that Su Cen's back was sweating, and finally said: "I'll ask the prince."

When Qu Ling'er came over, Su Cen was playing chess with his left hand and black with his right hand.Qu Ling'er can't understand such elegant things, if he can understand, he should know, at this time the white chess is killing all sides, the black chess is forced to retreat in a row.Naturally, the white chess represents Su Cen himself, and the black chess is the Prince Ning who killed him in real life. In reality, he has no advantage, so he can only enjoy the feeling of this man kneeling down and begging for mercy on the chessboard. .

Qu Ling'er casually grabbed two pieces of hibiscus cake, took a bite and couldn't help but sigh, "The food in this palace is better than the food outside, and this mansion is also grand, I have never seen such a big mansion before."

Su Cen threw down the chess pieces in his hand, "I'll trade with you, you come to live in this big house, can I go out instead?"

Qu Ling'er sat on the table with a bitter smile, "Forget it then."

It may be that every day has been locked in this house for a long time, Su Cen saw that Qu Linger's features were also beautiful, and pinched her fair and tender face, "I think you are pretty, why don't you try it out?" , maybe that old fox will be able to take a fancy to you, and you won't have to worry about being chased and killed in the future."

"Brother Su..." Qu Ling'er jumped a foot away from the table, "Did you call me all the way here just to make fun of me?"

Su Cen smiled, "Seriously, where is the man in black that you captured that day?"

"Qi Lin took it away."

"Where did you take it?"

Qu Linger frowned, "How do I know?"

"Well," Su Cen called someone over to offer a cup of tea, "tell me in detail what happened that day?"

"I didn't think about it either." Qu Ling'er took the cup and thought for a moment, "The other day Qi Lin and I besieged the man in black, and when we captured him, you passed out and the old man was dead. Well, later Qi Lin took you away together. I also want to ask you, who attacked you that day? It was too arrogant to be under the noses of so many people."

It's too arrogant. Su Cen remembers the familiar figure from the back before he fell into a coma. He walked in a leisurely manner. If he didn't have full confidence in himself, he wouldn't be so calm after killing someone. to leave.

Was it a fluke that he survived, or did that person not intend to kill him?

"Ling'er, do me a favor." Even though he knew that the two people outside the door could not understand Chinese, Su Cen still called Qu Ling'er in front of him and said something softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Qu Ling'er's expression changed immediately, she shook her head and took a few steps back, "I won't go! Brother Su, did I owe you in my previous life?"

Su Cen smiled: "You owe me all your life."

Qu Linger frowned: "I can't beat him..."

"Qi Lin is just a knife. Li Shi is the one who uses the knife. If the master doesn't say anything, he won't do anything to you."

Qu Linger still frowned: "How do you know that Li Shi didn't intend to kill me?"

"There is me." Su Cen smiled slightly, and patted the man on the shoulder lightly.
