Hongdi

The carriage stopped in the dense pine forest of the random graveyard in the south of the city, and a cold wind with a little rotten smell stimulated people's nerves.Jiang Nuanzhu felt that someone lifted him out of the car, it seemed that he had walked a long way, and then he was thrown to the cold ground.He squinted his eyes, bit the tip of his tongue with the last bit of sanity, a salty taste spread in his mouth, and his mind seemed to be clearer.

This is a small tomb, with a tattered coffin lying on the side, and a few men in black dangling in front of them, as if they were talking about something.When he was trying to observe all this, his jaw suddenly hurt, and a big cold and powerful hand clamped down on his jaw fiercely. The bones seemed to be crushed, and he became more awake after that. The person in front of him seemed to be The man in black I saw while gambling on stones.The thin cheeks are sharp and angular, two thick eyebrows are inserted into the temples, and the thin lips under the tall nose are coquettish purple red.For a moment, Jiang Nuanzhu suffocated, those eagle-like silver-gray pupils stared at him like prey, leaving him nowhere to hide, he flexed his fingers slightly, and inadvertently grabbed the man's hanging black long hair. Hair, stiff, yet silky smooth.The man in black glanced out of the corner of his eye, and exerted a sudden force on his hand. Jiang Nuanzhu opened his mouth slightly in pain, and red liquid flowed out from the wound on his tongue.The man in black snorted coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"Uh, this person should disdain to hurt women. Hehe, although Si Hanqi has hurt me, it seems that I should be safe..." After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Jiang Nuanzhu made a slight judgment with his intuition , then closed his eyes and fell asleep completely.

Seeing the body gradually slipping, Bei Yaofei was taken aback, "This person, who tried so hard to resist the medicine, but gave up at the last moment? I wanted to tease him." He picked up Jiang Nuanzhu's long hair After smelling it, he said in his heart: "I have been observing Han Qi for the past few days, but I can often see him. A big man dresses himself up as a girl every day, and even shows his face everywhere, which is well known to everyone. Freak..." A smile slowly climbed up that stern face, and the dim candlelight covered the original coldness in his eyes.He took out a small bottle from his sleeve and put it under Jiang Nuanzhu's nose. Seeing him gradually waking up, he put away the curiosity in his eyes and said quietly, "Are you awake? Miss Jiang, or is it Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Nuanzhu felt that his head was clearer, as if he had taken a cold shower after waking up, but he still couldn't move his hands and feet.He blinked and carefully looked at the man in black in front of him, and found that this man was all black except for his white skin and purple lips, especially the black nails on his hands, which were smooth but felt Sharper than a blade.

"You," after successfully attracting Jiang Nuanzhu's gaze, Bei Yaofei continued, "What are you hiding?"

After making an incomprehensible expression, Jiang Nuanzhu's poor jaw was clamped down hard again.He frowned and misted his eyes with grievance.

"Don't pretend to be weak with me, I know you're a man, and you can do something like a three-legged cat." Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu's eyes widened in surprise, Bei Yaofei felt a little complacent, subconsciously He loosened the grip on his hand and decided to continue teasing the person in front of him, "You dyed your hair with calendula powder. Although you sprinkled it with a strong orchid spice, I still smell it. And your eye color is not right, use it to dye your hair." Is it dyed with green ink?" As he spoke, his cold fingers disheveledly slid down Jiang Nuanzhu's neck and poked into the skirt of his clothes, "You actually wrapped your chest with something, so you want to become a woman? Do you want me? help you?"

Jiang Nuanzhu's body trembled, and he looked at the person in front of him angrily, "This person is unexpectedly annoying."

"Young master, please respect yourself. But seeing that your face is blue, your lips are purple, your nails are black, and you look like you are dying from poisoning, I don't care about you, let me go home quickly. "

"How old are you homesick? Forget it, Mr. Jiang, please wait for a while, I will let you go after I finish my business. Oh, by the way, you'd better not spoil my affairs, otherwise, you will be miserable. "Bei Yaofei turned around and rummaged through the box behind him for a while, took out a small porcelain bottle with black ground and white flowers, forcibly opened Jiang Nuanzhu's mouth and poured it down.

Jiang Nuanzhu frowned and looked at him displeasedly. He stretched out his hand to pull up the hat of the black cloak with no expression on his face, covered his face with a black veil, walked to Han Qi's side, and unraveled the drug for him.

Han Qi woke up quickly under the stimulation of the drug, he looked at the dilapidated tomb in confusion, knowing that his people had already missed.A burst of cold laughter broke the silence of the room, Bei Yaofei walked quietly behind Han Qi, Han Qi turned around vigilantly, there was no one behind him, his back suddenly felt cold, and the cold instantly made him shiver .Turning his head slowly, there was still no one there, a cold and powerful hand patted his shoulder suddenly, Han Qi immediately turned his head, this time, Bei Yaofei didn't play tricks on him again, his eagle eyes met his pupils, with a domineering manner As if he was the only king, even Han Qi, the fourth prince who had been struggling in the imperial city for more than [-] years, couldn't help but take a step back.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of kidnapping this king?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I just asked you a question. If you answer well, I will send you back to the palace intact." Bei Yaofei said, and ordered people to add two more torches, and he would curl up in the shadows. Jiang Nuanzhu from inside was exposed.Han Qi was shocked when he saw this, and hurried over to pick up Jiang Nuanzhu.

"Nuanzhu, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Nuanzhu bit the corner of his mouth tightly, his head covered in cold sweat, he raised his eyes and looked at Han Qi sadly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "My lord, Nuan Zhu wants to go home, Nuan Zhu doesn't want to die." Big drops of tears fell down.

Han Qi hugged Jiang Nuanzhu gently, glaring at Bei Yaofei angrily, "What's wrong with her?"

"It's nothing, I was afraid that you would not tell the truth, so I gave him some medicine. After taking the antidote, he will be fine, but if there is no antidote after an hour, the intestines will be rotten and he will die."

Jiang Nuanzhu reluctantly raised his head and looked directly at Bei Yaofei, "You bastard, what does this have to do with me? Why bother me?"

"I didn't intend to use such a strong medicine, but considering your rude words just now, I specially chose this bottle of Black Emperor for you. Why, don't you like it?"

"Heihuang, I seem to have heard from Xiaotian that it is a drug used by the underworld to extract confessions. But what you want to ask is Han Qi, what are you doing to me? Narrow-minded bastard, it's best not to let me catch you." Jiang Nuan Zhu cursed in his heart, but he didn't have any strength to talk back.

Han Qi looked at Jiang Nuanzhu who was huddled into a ball in his arms, and couldn't bear it, "Hero, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, as long as this king knows, I will definitely tell you."

Bei Yaofei looked at Jiang Nuanzhu biting his lip and felt the pain, but he felt very depressed. He glanced at Han Qi, and said lightly: "Where is He Shuang?"

"Who?" Han Qi asked and regretted it, thinking that she had to pretend to know, and said, "Who are you talking about, He Shuang?"

Bei Yaofei stared at Han Qi with squinted eyes, Han Qi looked back quite calmly, the two looked at each other for a while, and Bei Yaofei said again: "20 years ago, I was forcibly married into the palace by your perverted emperor father. people."

Han Qi suddenly realized, and said: "You are talking about He Guiren, she has fallen out of favor a long time ago, and now she is in Shihua Palace."

"Shihua Palace? Isn't that the cold palace where the former empress Cai lived? Isn't it empty?" Bei Yaofei didn't believe it.

Han Qi continued to edit: "She is there now. A few days after Queen Cai's death, it was found out that she had something to do with the Cai family, and then she was demoted to Shihua Palace by her father. But I don't know the details. After all, I didn't remember anything at that time, and I heard all this from the old eunuch in the palace."

Bei Yaofei was still hesitating, but Jiang Nuanzhu had almost reached his limit at this time, he moaned sullenly, and the dark red blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, Han Qi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" Give her the antidote, I'll tell you everything I know. This kind of thing doesn't involve my interests, so why should I lie to you?"

Bei Yao couldn't move, Han Qi was in a hurry, raised three fingers of his right hand, and said, "If you don't believe me, I swear you will. If I lie to you, I will not die well."

Seeing this, Bei Yaofei stuffed the antidote into Jiang Nuanzhu's mouth.After a while, Jiang Nuanzhu regained his strength, and his limbs seemed to be able to move.Seeing Bei Yaofei standing in front of him without moving, he gradually felt revenge, gathered up enough strength, and opened his mouth to pounce on him, "I'll bite you to death!".But he had collapsed a long time ago, he was not aggressive at all, before he touched Bei Yaofei's clothes, he started to fall down, Bei Yaofei shook his hand, and a smell of herbs went straight into his head.Han Qi looked at Jiang Nuanzhu who was lying motionless on the ground, froze for a moment, then hugged him up, and said angrily, "What did you do again?"

"It's nothing, just let him fall asleep. He can wake up tomorrow morning." He paused for a while, and then said, "What does the lord want me to do with you?"

"what do you want?"

"I have three kinds of medicine in my hand, one can make people stupid, one can make people immobilized except for the eyes, and one can make people sleep forever. Which kind does the prince want?"

Han Qi looked at Bei Yaofei in astonishment, then smiled and said: "Shall we make a deal?" Seeing that the man in black in front of him didn't immediately veto it, he said again: "You make a condition, as long as you let me go, I will agree. "

"Are you alone? What if I want Jiang Nuanzhu's life?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, looked down at the person who was quietly sleeping in his arms, and said without hesitation: "In this case, if a gentleman says a word, it's hard to chase!"

It was originally an unintentional joke, but he didn't expect Jiang Nuanzhu to be directly abandoned by Han Qi, Bei Yaofei couldn't help laughing, "Princes and grandchildren are indeed so selfish and ruthless, one moment they cared for you in every possible way, the next moment Just push you into the deep valley. Royal people are really hard to serve!"

"Why, are you going to go back on your word?"

"Do you think Jiang Nuanzhu just fell asleep? He just closed his eyes, and his ears are still working. Aren't you afraid that he will turn into a ghost and demand your life?"

"Will you let me go or not?"

Bei Yaofei threw a small bottle backhand to Han Qi, and said: "Three-step heartbroken, give it to him, and I will let you go."

Han Qi frowned slightly, opened Jiang Nuanzhu's mouth, and sent a black grass bead in.Bei Yaofei took three steps, looked down coldly at the black blood flowing from the corner of Jiang Nuanzhu's mouth, and said indifferently: "Come here, send King Jin back to the mansion."

Han Qi secretly reached out and touched the gambling stone that Jiang Nuanzhu had chosen for him, and quickly scratched the word "Shihua" on it.He looked at Jiang Nuanzhu who was no longer breathing, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.Before he could think about it, Bei Yaofei waved his hand, and he lost consciousness.

Han Qi woke up again and returned to her bedroom in the palace.He walked to the window in a daze, the midday sun was very dazzling, "Last night, I really played too much, and I have slept till now." With a self-deprecating smile, he suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, and he couldn't help thinking carefully : "Last night, I gambled with Jiang Nuanzhu, had a meal, and then went back to the mansion, and then..." He suddenly realized that he didn't remember what happened after getting into the carriage, how did he send Jiang Nuanzhu back to the mansion What did I do later, I have no impression at all.He hurriedly called the housekeeper to inquire, and the answer he got was that he fell asleep in the car last night. The coachman took Jiang Nuanzhu back to Hongbao Pavilion and then sent him back to the palace, and his servants helped him fall asleep.Han Qi dismissed the butler, sat on a chair and rubbed the center of his brows, "Why did I sleep in the carriage? It seems something is wrong..." He reached out to pick up the teacup, and accidentally saw the flat one that Jiang Nuanzhu had chosen for him Betting on stones, a corner of memory seems to be cracked.The gray-yellow gambling stone was only half the size of a palm. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the word "Shihua" appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

"Shihua, Shihua..." He whispered softly, his mind spinning rapidly, after a while, Han Qi smiled slyly.
