Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Third Story: Surprise 15

After returning from the main hall, Changsun Dan was worried about what kind of torture Lin Gongru had suffered in the private prison, so he was restless.The eldest grandson did not return to the bedroom all night, which made him extremely anxious, his eyelids twitched, and he always felt that something terrible was going to happen, so he couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, the maid waited for him to wash and wash, and then changed into regular clothes and walked around the bedroom.Finally, he couldn't hold back, and around noon, he secretly called Wen Er in.

He was hesitating how to speak to his bodyguard, and wanted to send him to inquire about Lin Gongru.Wen Er had already guessed from the pale blue-gray color under his prince's eyelids that he probably couldn't sleep well last night, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of another prince.

Wen Er sighed, lowered his head, and said, "My lord, Lin Gongru is dead."

Changsun Dan hadn't reacted yet, and stared at him blankly, "What?"

Wen Erdao: "Lin Gongru died, last night at the turn of Xuhai. Prince Yan did it himself."

He looked at Changsun Dan's face, and added: "...to kill with poison."

Changsun Dan stared at him with wide eyes, his bright eyes were blank, as if he heard it, but also as if he didn't hear it.

He absorbed the news slowly, and slowly moved towards the table.Moving to the table, he stretched out his fingers and pressed the table tightly, his voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke.

"What did you say?"

"My lord..."

Changsun Dan looked at him, his face was so pale that it was frightening, he said slowly: "Isn't the emperor going to use torture to extract a confession? How could he kill people?"

Wen Er hesitated.

"My subordinates are not very clear about the details. It is said that... that kid has a lot of background behind him." He looked outside and lowered his voice, "If he is not removed as soon as possible, I am afraid that the night will have long dreams——Yan Wangye has no choice but to do it."

Just kidding, Wen Yao secretly told him that Lin Gongru is that high-ranking ninety-five person, is that okay?Who knows how much information he has?If he was allowed to live, and all their affairs were revealed to the emperor, the group of people headed by King Yan's eldest grandson would all be killed.He is not dead, do you want them to die? ?

But he naturally couldn't confess these thoughts to Changsun Dan, after all, even if he worked for Changsun Yu, he was still Changsun Dan's personal bodyguard on the surface.

"What background does he have??" Chang Sundan began to tremble with his fingers holding the table.

He was shaking so badly that even the table was trembling slightly, and his body began to wobble, as if he couldn't even stand still.However, his voice was raised a bit. Wen Er had served him for many years, and he had never heard the always gentle Prince Hao speak in such a sharp and accusatory tone.

"He was just an ordinary soldier who was cornered by the emperor. If the emperor hadn't acted too aggressively in the Wuji camp, how could there have been many incidents later?? He didn't want to let him go, he just wanted to find an excuse to torture him and humiliate him Regardless of the hatred in your heart, why did you ruin an innocent life for nothing??"

Chang Sun Dan suddenly pushed away the table he was holding on to, his body was still shaking, but he strode towards the door of the dormitory.

"My lord, where are you going, my lord?" Wen Er thought he still wanted to stop him, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

Changsun Dan shouted: "Go away! This king is going to see him!"

Wen Er persuaded: "A dead person, don't dirty the prince's eyes..."

But he said so, but obediently took his hand back.

Not to mention that he had never seen Changsun Dan get so angry, he was completely different from the usual soft-spoken and soft-spoken Prince Hao.If he forcibly stops him at this time, I really don't know what unexpected things Changsun Dan will do, so it's better to follow his wishes and let him go to see that dead ghost.

Another reason is that after Lin Gongru's death, the eldest grandson did not order the corpse to be disposed of for a long time.King Yan didn't say that he buried the person, nor did he say that he used the corpse pill to dissolve the corpse, or sent someone to transport it out in the middle of the night, filled it with sacks and sank it into the moat.

He just let Lin Gongru die in that cell, not allowing anyone to approach, and he disappeared alone for a long time.According to Wen Yao, Prince Yan locked himself in his room and went into a rage, smashing all the things that could be smashed at hand...

Does this look like the prince who takes life and death and thinks that all living beings are ants?

If you don't dispose of that corpse, you don't know what kind of madness Prince Yan will go.If there is something wrong with him, those who follow him will not be able to go around.

With this in mind, he specifically discussed with Wen Yao that it is better to use the hand of Lord Hao to deal with the dead person who caused the disaster as soon as possible.

Changsun Dan stood in front of that dark prison cell, the courage that was so restless that he was willing to die just now seemed to disappear completely in an instant.

He stared at the dark open cell door, felt the faint cold wind blowing from inside, and felt the chill rushing up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

Lin Gongru was inside.

The traitor who held him hostage and drove his horse galloping day and night, the man who stripped off his trousers and applied medicine to him without saying a word; The man who escaped the opportunity and was captured and humiliated in the palace.He didn't seem to have time to look at his eyebrows and eyes seriously, nor did he listen carefully to his slightly smiling voice.He thought he would have a chance to find a way out for him, and hoped to meet him again by chance.

How do you know that goodbye is already separated by yin and yang, and there will be no date afterward?

Changsun Dan's footsteps stopped in front of the prison door, and the chill on his face became more and more intense.Reaching out to touch it, it was wet.

Wen Er was behind him, couldn't see his expression clearly, and whispered cautiously: "My lord, Wen Er took the risk of offending Prince Yan and asked his younger brother Wen Yao to send away all the guards. If the prince doesn't want to watch, turn around now." There's still time to go."

Changsun Dan woke up like a dream, clenched his wet palms, and said in a creaking voice: "... You can step back. This king can go in by himself."

Wen Er thought for a while, leaned forward and said, "The subordinate is waiting outside."

Chang Sun Dan didn't return to him, his fingers tremblingly clenched the corner of his robe, and with heavy steps, his figure gradually disappeared into the dark cell.

In this private prison, it still remained the same as it was when Changsun Yu left.

A wide range of instruments of torture were spread out on the ground, and in a brazier next to it, the burnt charcoal fire was still slightly warm.A red-hot soldering iron rolled in the corner, burning a shallow scorched black pit where it touched the ground.

There is a faint smell of blood in the air, as well as a strong sweet fragrance.

Zhang Sundan mustered up his courage and looked at the only wooden couch in this cell.

Lin Gongru was wearing a clean linen shirt, lying face down on the inside of the wooden couch, with long black hair hanging down to the edge of the couch, almost covering the whole wooden couch.The clothes on the right shoulder blade were broken, revealing a red, swollen and black burnt wound, with faint signs of inflammation on the edge of the wound.

The side face that was not covered by the black hair was pale, as if several layers of wall plaster had been applied, a gloomy color.There was no ups and downs in the body, lying there like a hard wooden stake.

Changsun Dan moved slowly to his side, with trembling fingertips, lightly brushed his cheek.

It was as cold as ice.

Changsun Dan touched his long hair again, touched the horrible wound, and felt a chill everywhere he touched.

This person has been dead for a long time, but he still looks like he just died, without any obvious changes.Changsun Dan knew that this must be because the toxin used by Changsun Yu was rare.

As he touched it, tears began to well up in his eyes, which gradually condensed into beads and rolled down his face.

In the end, Chang Sun Dan couldn't even stand upright, so he simply squatted down, hugged his knees, and cried bitterly next to Lin Gongru's corpse.

He didn't know why he was so sad, he was obviously a rebel who met by chance, he was dragging him around for so long, he was obviously a man who hadn't said a few words...why did the tears stop? Can't stop?

Apart from him, there was no other person in this cell, so Chang Sun Dan no longer had any scruples, and happily raised the volume, as if he had endured a great grievance, and vented all his brains.

Long time, long time.

Lin Gongru's hand hanging on the side of the couch suddenly moved slightly.Changsun Dan was crying too much, and he was half-turned facing the wooden couch, so he didn't notice it in time.

Lin Gongru's fingers moved slightly again, and slowly, as if performing a terrifying scene of returning to the soul, the slender knuckles slowly climbed up Changsun Dan's shoulders.

Prince Hao was startled, he sensed something belatedly, he lowered his head and looked over his shoulder.When he looked at it, he saw Lin Gongru's pale fingers resting on his shoulders eeriely.

Changsun Dan even forgot his fear at that moment. He opened his mouth wide and stared at the two fingers stupidly, unable to react.He stared blankly at the fingers resting on his shoulder, from two to three, three to four, and then Lin Gongru's entire palm was pushed up.

Lin Gongru's lazy voice rang out in the empty cell.

"why is it you again?"

The man's voice was hoarse, with a low breath that had just woken up, as rough as if he had rubbed a few handfuls of sand in it.

But Changsun Dan reacted so quickly this time that he recognized the voice immediately.

"You...!!" Prince Hao jumped up and turned around suddenly.

He had squatted for too long just now, but when he jumped up suddenly, his calf felt as if it had been filled with lead, and he was so numb that he couldn't control it.He tilted the soles of his feet, and smashed straight at the "corpse" on the wooden couch.

The man who had just woken up could not control his hands and feet freely. Seeing Prince Hao falling towards him, he had no choice but to retract his arms in desperation, and hugged the prince who came to the door full.

Chang Sun Dan slammed into Lin Gongru's arms, the man's warm breath blowing on the top of his head, blowing a few strands of hair from his temples.The arms hugging him were also warm, and the heartbeat was steady and powerful against the chest.

The eldest grandson was dumbfounded.

How does this look like a person who died all night and added half a day? ? ?

"You, aren't you dead?" He leaned on his chest and was stunned for a long time, but he didn't know how to struggle, so he asked stupidly.

Lin Gongru laughed softly, the laughter vibrated faintly from his chest, and spread to Changsun Dan, causing a heart-pounding panic for no reason.

The man said leisurely: "I was dead, and I had already crossed the Naihe Bridge. But the prince's crying was so tragic that the grassroots couldn't bear it, so they turned back."
