Li Daitao

Qin Shu had almost reached the point of exhaustion before, and it was only because of this that he saved his life.But with the determination to die, he was hit extremely hard, and a lot of blood was lost.After finally stopping the bleeding, the person was already unconscious.He was completely unconscious, but still tightly hugged the small package that held his daughter.It took a lot of effort for the imperial doctor to take the dead baby away from him.

Yi Zhen didn't dare to look at the dead baby too much, so he was carried down, and ordered to find a place with Feng Shui to bury her with honor.

He lowered his head and found that Qin Shu's left hand was clenched into a fist, as if something was still tightly squeezed inside. He carefully opened it and found a piece of thin letter paper stained with blood.It was the letter he wrote to Qin Shu that day.

Qin Shu was originally a very thin-faced person, usually quite reserved, and at this time he took out this letter.He must have risked everything, and wanted to plead with him by relying on this letter that recorded his past love.

He held the letter so tightly in his hands, and even after all these things happened, he kept forgetting to let go. He must have felt at that time, like a drowning person grasping the last straw.It's a pity that his sister never gave him another chance to intercede.

The blood stains on the paper were bright red, dyeing the original black stains deeper. The gentle and comforting words on the paper were originally written by himself. Yi Zhen even clearly remembered the mood he wrote every word at that time. Horizontal in front of the eyes.Those once true thoughts were like sharp knives, piercing my heart so hard that I almost couldn't breathe.

Qin Shu had a fever that night. Whether it was before or after giving birth, he had no good conditions for recuperation, and his body was already weak.It's just that for the sake of his sister, he relied on his strength to hold on. Now that his sister's death not only brings unimaginable grief, but also the belief that supported him in recent days has also collapsed.

Under the internal and external friction, the disease became fierce, and he had been suffering from low-grade fever repeatedly.He was also groggy, and hadn't woken up much, and the one he was talking about was his sister.Occasionally, when he wakes up and sees Yi Zhen, there is only cold hatred in his eyes, he turns his head away with the last bit of strength, and closes his eyes not wanting to look more.

The bit of resentment in Yi Zhen's heart has long since been wiped away by a series of accidents, and he only has mixed regrets in his heart.He never went back to the mansion, and stayed by Qin Shu's side for two days and two nights in his clothes.

When he entered Beijing, he was extremely low-key and did not cause any uproar, but after all, there is no wall in this world that is not elegant.The more you try to hide something, the faster it will spread faster than the wind.

Emperor Qing made three decrees in a row to summon Yi Zhen to face the saint.The last time was the oral order handed down.Emperor Qing didn't show his joy or anger, but said indifferently: "If you refuse to enter the palace this time, you don't have to come again in the future."

Speaking of this, Yi Zhen had no choice but to go.Qin Shu is not yet fully awake, and the situation is not very good.He was extremely worried, so he urged him in every possible way before leaving.However, as soon as he left, Qing Emperor issued another decree, ordering Qin Shu to be imprisoned in the sky prison, and to be punished together with the traitors who conspired against him.

Of course, Lord Hou's orders cannot be compared with Emperor Qing's will, who would dare to resist the orders?

Fortunately, the person who came to proclaim the decree was Ruyi, the chief executive next to Emperor Qing.

The news about the child reached Emperor Qing's ears, and he regarded the Marquis of Yanzi as his son-in-law.Because of the various reasons before, I was extremely displeased at first, but it was only because of Yi Zhen's repeated pleadings that I endured it until now. Is there any reason not to be angry when I hear such a scandal? How can the royal family allow such teasing and shame? People ridicule.Emperor Qing was still a man of temperament. Even though he hated Qin Shu and wanted to kill him, he didn't use too cruel methods.

Ruyi is friendly all day long, but she just pretends to be confused with understanding.In the eyes of others, Zhu Youwei was Qingdi's favorite for the first time. As Qingdicheng's celebrity, he knew that Qingdi really liked such a person, and how much sincerity was in it.And although Yan Zihou did not do that kind of hard work to Qin Shu, he was reluctant to let go after so many things. I am afraid that his thoughts on Qin Shu are quite similar to Qing Emperor's treatment of Zhu You, and he may not even be able to bear the same effect. Weak half point.

In this way, even though Qin Shu has many faults, after all, he is the person in Hou Ye's heart. No matter how angry Hou Ye is, and he complains, even if he wants to deal with it, it can only be decided by him, but he may not be willing to let it go. How others treat Qin Shu.

If Emperor Qing wanted to move him, he was afraid that it would hurt the relationship between the two of them.Even if it's because of the monarch and his ministers, Yi Zhen has to suffer this secret loss, and it is inevitable that he will be born in the future.Emperor Qing was furious, he refused to show mercy for a while, it was a matter of royal decency, how could he give in, he was so tolerant towards Yi Zhen, once he got really angry at this moment, who insisted on doing something? Dare to persuade?

But Ruyi had to think a little more for Emperor Qing. In the end, Qin Shu was nothing more than an insignificant person. If it wasn't for Yan Zihou's obsession, life or death would be nothing, but Yi Zhen grew up in the palace. , the Emperor Qing treated him like a half-son.If there is a rift because of this matter, there is no guarantee that Emperor Qing will not regret it in the future.

So he deliberately came to handle this errand in person, and dealt with it lightly, leaving time for Marquis Yanzi to contingency, and Emperor Qing a room for change.

Therefore, he did not make things difficult for Qin Shu, but only Ruyi dared to obey Qing Emperor's will, but he could not be too blatant.A trip to the prison was a must, and he sent Qin Shu into the prison in a carriage.Torture tools and handcuffs were not used, and the fellow prisoner also took care of him secretly, and placed him in an ordinary cell with clean bedding.There are only more tables, chairs and wooden beds in the original living room, except that it is more gloomy and colder, the difference is not that big.It was just a formality. Seeing that Qin Shu was still ill and groggy, he specially asked the prison doctor to take care of him, and the decoction kept him going, so he must not make any mistakes in prison.

On the one hand, Ruyi went through the errands slowly, and on the other hand, let the palace center guard on Yi Zhen's way into the palace, and revealed the news to Yanzihou.All he could do was this far, and anything else would be beyond his duty.As for how to negotiate with Emperor Qing, and whether the result can be fulfilled, it all depends on Yan Zihou himself.

But since Emperor Qing wanted to deal with Qin Shu without telling Yi Zhen, he himself was deeply in love, so he probably could see what this cousin was thinking, so he had some scruples.That being the case, there is still room for flexibility.Ruyi wasn't too worried.

How Yi Zhen will contradict the Qing Emperor is still unknown.Qin Shu was not very sober all the time, and he didn't have much sense of where he was or how long it had been.

In a trance, he always heard the cry of his sister, which sounded beside him from left to right, thin, vague, as if it came from the ground, stubbornly refusing to stop.However, no matter how he fumbled to dig out the cracks of the bricks, he found nothing. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find where his sister was.

Unless he couldn't bear it anymore and passed out, he repeated the search again and again, as if he was tireless.Tremblingly calling for his sister, compared to other criminals who were crying and moaning, they seemed very quiet.

The jailer had no choice but to persuade him that he couldn't understand it, so he couldn't be tied up.Just pay more attention and let him go.

The person dragged in from the opposite side looked at him coldly for a long time, and seeing the patrolling prison head walk away, he finally got up and came to the cell door, and called him in a low voice: "Qin Shu, Qin Shu..."

Seeing that there was no response from him, he paused, and then changed his words: "Pojun."

Qin Shu finally reacted, and turned around slowly. The man's voice and title were so familiar, but he only felt a headache and couldn't remember anything.

"Pojun." Emperor Jingwen laughed lowly. "Xiaoshu, come here."

Qin Shu hesitated for a moment, but crawled closer.He looked dull and sad, grasping the wooden railing between the cell and the aisle with both hands, squeezed his face between the wood and the wood, trying hard to see the person opposite him clearly.

"Little Shu." Emperor Jingwen coughed for a while, and looked at him carefully again, feeling a little mixed. There was no one else in this cell except him and Qin Shu. He just wanted to talk to someone, and his tone was calm.He whispered, "You don't know me anymore?"

At this time, he was covered with dirt, which was very different from the image of the king of a country in the past.Qin Shu was confused and didn't seem to recognize him, but felt that the person in front of him was very familiar and kind.He blinked his eyes, tears fell again, and said to Emperor Jingwen choked with sobs: "Sister, my sister is gone..." At this moment, he was like a helpless poor child seeking comfort and relief, Once you see someone who is a little closer, you can't help but talk to them.

"Sister?" Emperor Jingwen repeated the word and could not help but sigh. "Whose sister..."

He was just a little emotional, Qin Shu heard, but quickly replied: "It's mine... It's my sister... Have you seen her? Where is she? You tell me where she is, how can I find it?" I can't find any..."

"...that's not your sister." Emperor Jingwen replied after a long time.

"Xiao Shu." The rest of the words were a bit difficult to say. Seeing Qin Shu's disappointed expression on his face, he seemed to want to turn around and go back. You bastard, have you ever had anyone else?"

Seeing Qin Shu's puzzled face, he looked very confused, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Apart from him, is there anyone who hasn't bullied you?"

Qin Shu's mind was full of chaos, he thought hard for a while, and then shook his head.He was obviously not interested in this question, and the man in front of him didn't tell him where his sister was. He was already disappointed and crawled into the cell.

"That's not your sister." Emperor Jingwen laughed in a low voice, shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Shu, you are very knowledgeable and memorized, and you have read a lot of books. You should also know something about this elixir. Have you ever seen it?" There is a precedent for giving birth to a baby girl? Why don't you think about it, how did you and him give birth to a daughter?"

Qin Shu was stunned. With his current confused mind, he couldn't figure out such a complicated problem, let alone what it meant.He could only stammer: "No... it's... it's my sister... it's mine, it's mine..."

Emperor Jingwen changed several prison cells one after another in the past two days, and met several rebels who were captured in the Fengwu battle, and secretly learned about the local situation. He knew more secrets than others, but Let him figure out a general idea.Pojun and Qisha were the closest in the past, and the child's life experience should be kept secret from everyone, but he should have planned with Qisha and others.

Qisha hugged and said that the child of Zeguo's blood should be the real baby Xiaoshu gave birth to, but he didn't know how it fell into his hands, and Qin Shu didn't even know it.Of course that child was not from the royal family, which caused the battle of Fengwu City to be completely defeated.

Emperor Jingwen actually regretted it a little. If he really wanted Qin Shu at that time, he might change the situation today.But until now, everything is empty talk and useless, and regret is completely useless.

But Po Jun's intention from the beginning to the end was all for him, the emperor, and for the country of Ze.Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but feel a little moved when he thought of this.Looking at Qin Shu's current appearance, he felt a little soft-hearted.He thought to himself that the two of them became traitors together, so there must be a short time to come, and there is no need to hide some things from Qin Shu, and after all, it is the child born of Qin Shuxing's painstaking efforts, and he has the right to know .

"The real child you gave birth to is not my younger sister. The child you and him have can't be a baby girl." Emperor Jingwen coughed for a while again, his voice was very soft, but it was heard by the other person's ears. In a thunderbolt. "Your real son, in Qisha's hands, is a son."

"No...it's my sister, not his son..." Qin Shu screamed. He rushed towards this side and hit the wooden railing as thick as a child's arm. He stretched out his hand from between the railing and waved it indiscriminately. : "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, it is my sister Xun, not his son!"

His younger sister was still so young, but he threw her in front of her just like that, and when his younger sister went there, she didn't even have time to cry. That fall had ruined all his love.

He was deeply in the grief of losing his sister, and hated Yi Zhen to the bone. At this moment, he suddenly heard that he had another son with him. What he brought was not a surprise, but rather embarrassing, and even more unacceptable. He doesn't want to have any relationship with that vicious person anymore, even if it's because of the fact that he can't choose.

Emperor Jingwen didn't understand his feelings, seeing him in disbelief, he sighed in a low voice: "Silly little Shu, who has touched you and who hasn't, didn't you feel it yourself? ... Yes, you had a high fever at that time , You have always been a pure and ignorant child. You may be mistaken if you don’t know the real situation. It’s just that you always believed it... I didn’t really touch you at the time, didn’t you know it all the time? "

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Seeing that he couldn't make him shut up, Qin Shu stretched out his hands to cover his ears.He didn't want to hear or think about these words. The truth behind them was too heavy, and he couldn't afford it at this time.

He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, and began to cry bitterly: "It's my sister, it's my sister...not his son, not..."

Someone next to him couldn't hold back any longer, hurried footsteps came from the corridor, it sounded more than once or twice, only the fearful voice of the warden shouted: "Master Hou..."

Yi Zhen's eyes were red, and he rushed to the aisle.He stood at the corner of the corridor for a long time, and after listening to all these words, he couldn't help feeling pain and regret, wishing he could bump himself against the wall a few times, so as to make up for the mistakes he made.

If Emperor Qing hadn't proposed to imprison the two of them in one place so that people could eavesdrop on them secretly, or they could get out some secrets that people don't know, and the timing of his arrival was extremely coincidental, so I don't know how long he would be kept in the dark.

He remembered the scene at that time, his son!He had seen it from afar, wrapped in a small swaddle made of blue fabric, he couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see the little swaddle and hear his tender and childish crying.And he watched helplessly as the group of rebels cut his son's veins and bled his son, and watched his son being taken away by Qisha, and his whereabouts were unknown.

When I think of this, my heart aches.

How much did he do wrong in the first place?How many things did you do wrong?

Yi Zhen was filled with resentment, he hated Emperor Jingwen's deceit and inducement so much that he and Qin Shu turned against each other, almost to the point of no return, even cutting him to pieces could not dispel his anger.When he came close, he flew up and kicked the wooden fence, causing sawdust to fall down one after another.

Emperor Jingwen flinched quickly and was not hit by his kick, but he was also very frightened and retreated back again and again.He stumbled and fell backwards and rolled over.Curled up in the corner, looking at Yi Zhen with terrified eyes.His image is like a rat crossing the street, which makes Yi Zhen feel even more disgusted.

If there were no railings blocking him, Yi Zhen would have killed him immediately.The guards on the side were neither blocking nor pulling, so they could only dissuade him in a low voice: "Master Hou, please stay calm and act slowly. He is an important criminal, so it is better to wait for the interrogation..."

Yi Zhen gave him a hard look, thinking about Qin Shu again, turned around and rushed to the opposite cell door, grabbing the railing and shouting hastily: "Xiao Shu! Xiao Shu!"

Qin Shu didn't pay attention to anyone, and shrank into a corner while crying.

Yi Zhen was in a hurry, he grabbed the wood and shook it vigorously. Although the prison door was made of wood, it was very firm and strong, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't shake it a bit.He suddenly remembered, turned around and shouted: "Key, quickly bring the key! Open the door!"

The cell boss took out a bunch of keys from his waist, he was pressed tightly by Yi Zhen, the more anxious he was, the better it was that one, trembling for a long time, finally found the key of this cell, Yi Zhen Impatient to wait early.Grab the key with one hand.

Under his agitated mood, his hands trembled a little, and he inserted the key several times before aiming the key at the lockhole.

The cell door opened with a creak, but he trembled a bit, mustering all his strength, restraining all kinds of guilt, regret and anxiety in his heart, and only then did he have the courage to step in.

Qin Shu didn't know when he had calmed down.With his back to him, he sat quietly on the quilt in the corner.Whispering something.

Yi Zhen walked over with light steps, but his heart was very heavy, he was uneasy like never before, like a criminal who committed a felony and waited for the verdict.However, no matter what kind of punishment he was about to face, he was unwilling to take another step back.

"Little Shu." He walked up to Qin Shu with a reverence he had never felt before, and knelt down gently.No matter there are jailers outside the cell, no matter there is Emperor Jingwen on the opposite side.Face to him at this moment is already so insignificant.

There are some things that are wrong if they are wrong, and he only hopes to have another chance to redeem them.No matter what price he paid for this, he would not hesitate.

Qin Shu noticed his coming and raised his face slightly.When he saw Yi Zhen, he didn't show any disgust, but a very gentle smile, light and bright, with crooked eyes, kind of dazed and clear.

After he smiled, he bowed his head and said softly, "Sister."

Yi Yizhen had seen such a smile before. On the day he returned to Beijing a few days ago, Qin Shu was sitting under a tree with the baby girl in his arms, and he also walked over from behind.When Qin Shu found out that he was coming, he also lowered his face like this, and smiled like this. In fact, there was a little anticipation and joy hidden in that smile, but his eyes were blinded by jealousy, so he couldn't see it.

Yi Zhen followed his gaze and looked down.

Qin Shu is still in a gentle embrace, but what he holds in his arms carefully is just a few straws.

At that moment, Yi Zhen was struck by lightning.

Some things, wrong is wrong, missed is missed.
