Absolute Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 50 The world is a game of chess 1
Dark, damp, and cold.
The faint light of the fire shines on the mottled stone walls, thick wooden sills and cold instruments of torture in the cell, and also illuminates the blood-stained figure in the corner of the cell.
It was a young man with an extremely beautiful appearance. This kind of beauty was not feminine, but another kind of perfection that took people's breath away. Every outline was flawless.
Even though his eyes were closed, his face was as thin as gold paper, and he was in this dark and humid prison cell, his appearance, which seemed to be carved out of heaven and could not be drawn by any skilled painter, was still intact.
The approaching jailer couldn't help but slow down his footsteps, as if he was afraid of disturbing the rest of the noble young man, even though the other party had already fallen into the mud and was trapped in a fence.
What he didn't notice was that at this moment, the breathing of the young man who was half leaning against the stone wall became softer, his chest gradually lost its heaving, and his heart stopped beating in an instant.
"Young Master Chu, can you still move?" the jailer took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice.
"Young Master Chu?" The jailer tentatively called out a few more times, and muttered, "Is something wrong? How can I explain this to the princess?"
He was about to reach out to test the other person's breathing.
Plop, plop, the heartbeat that had just stopped for a second resumed beating, the eyelashes of the young man lying in the corner trembled, and finally opened his eyes.
The dark eyes scared the jailer back several steps, and the torch in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Chu Si was stunned for a few breaths, and only then did he understand the current situation. The coldness that was naturally revealed in the depths of his eyes gradually subsided, and he regained his original cold and indifferent temperament.
His current identity is the third son of the Boyang Chu family of Dayong's famous family. He is the youngest son of the prime minister of the current dynasty.It can be said that you are the noble son in the splendor pile, and the young phoenix on the sycamore tree.If there is no accident, once you become an official, it is the end point that many people will never reach in their lifetime.
Of course, all this was three days ago.Now, the accident has happened.
Not long ago, Chu Yuzhi's father, Prime Minister Chu Buji, was reported to have hidden military armor. Later, Tingwei found out that this was indeed the case, and three hundred armors were found from the prime minister's residence.The emperor was furious, and beheaded all the Chu family for the crime of treason, immorality and treason.
As for why Chu Yuzhi, who is the son of the eldest son, escaped the calamity of death, it had something to do with two people.
One is Princess Xinhua.She was born to the emperor's favorite Concubine Li, and she was twins with the fourth prince. Her birth brought auspicious omens, and she was very good at being obedient and flattering in front of the emperor, so she was very popular with the emperor.
The other is Huaxu, a great Confucianist in the dynasty.He used to be the emperor's tutor.
Princess Xinhua's admiration for Yuanshen was known to everyone in Yongjing.And the great Confucian Hua Xu also praised Yuanshen's talent a lot, praised him as a leader in the literary world, and would give him a place in the future.
Because the two pleaded for mercy in front of the emperor, Yuanshen survived and was temporarily imprisoned in Zhao Prison.Even though this noble son still died because he couldn't bear the blow and torture, he left everything he had to Chu Si.
Chu Si slowly looked at the prison cell in front of him.
The jailer who was startled by him before had regained his composure and said respectfully, "Young Master Chu, please follow me, someone wants to see you."
Chu Si propped up his frail body and stood up, blood stains spread down from the skirt of his clothes.The pale young man smiled slightly, but the prison room was illuminated: "Lead the way ahead."
The jailer couldn't help shaking his head, and when he came back to his senses, he thought to himself: My dear!It's strange that everyone said that Mr. Yulou is a famous handsome man in Yongjing!No wonder even the princess was fascinated.It seems that this person may really have the luck to be a son-in-law!
For a while, he looked respectful again.
Tingweizhao Prison is one of the harshest yamen in Dayong.At this time, a petite figure shrouded in a cloak appeared here. Even though the clothes on his body were as inconspicuous as possible, he still exuded a sense of wealth and luxury.
Princess Xinhua was dressed in dignity and luxury, her eyes were staring straight at the entrance of the cell, and her hands were slowly clenched by her sides, revealing anxiety and tension that could not be concealed.
Cuirong, the maid next to her, was quite aggrieved: "Princess, why did you come here in person! I think that Mr. Yulou has fallen to such a point, if you didn't intercede, he would have lost his life long ago! But if he knows what he wants, I shouldn't refuse your kindness anymore!"
Princess Xinhua's expression could not help but slow down, a smile appeared on her face, and she murmured: "Yes, as long as he knows what's interesting..."
The few petty officials at the side secretly watched this man's face, each of them was dumbfounded and winked at each other.I have already eaten countless melons between the eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk, I have long heard that Princess Xinhua is infatuated with Mr. Yulou, and has been chasing after him for three years.Unexpectedly, they are all chasing us to Zhao Prison now.Really passionate! ''I don't know how hard-hearted and arrogant this Mr. Yulou is, that he doesn't even look down on Princess Xinhua? ''It has been reduced to this point, and it can still be turned over by the princess. I have to say that this good appearance is really an advantage! At the entrance of the dark and narrow cell, a figure walked out slowly behind the jailer.It seems that because of the injury, he walked very slowly.Bits of blood fell to the ground as he walked.
The young man raised his eyes and paused.
"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness."
He lowered his eyes again, his expression indifferent.The ebony-like hair was casually draped over his shoulders, making his complexion paler, and even his usually clear eyes were covered with a layer of deep blackness.But it seems that there is a touch of inexplicable demeanor than in the past.
The jailers around them retreated knowingly, giving space to the two of them.
Princess Xinhua stared at this familiar face almost obsessively, with a soft smile on her face: "Young Master Chu, are you here?"
Her voice was also soft and soft, as if she was afraid of waking up some beautiful dream.
Isn't this person in front of her a dream?
The allusions of the love between the two sides in the history books of later generations, the splendid chapters bearing his name in countless ancient books, and the touching poems that have touched her girl's heartstrings countless times... the empress of the ages in front of her... The incomparable celebrity who still has a beautiful fragrance has always been as far away as the bright moon in the sky. This is her biggest obsession since she came to this era across the millennium.
Now, this person was standing in front of her.
The moon has fallen into the mortal world, and it seems to be within reach.
The smile on Princess Xinhua's face became more and more joyful, and the eyes she looked at the young man were full of meaning that she must win.
Chu Si's scalp went numb for a moment.
The moment the other party's eyes fell, it seemed that countless snakes had crawled over his body, and the instinctive resentment from the original body welled up in his heart.It seemed that the original body really hated this princess to the extreme.
He brushed away the emotions from his original body, still lowering his eyes: "Whether it's worth bothering the princess when you treat me like a sinner?"
This kind of familiar, seemingly humble but merciless rejection made Princess Xinhua's obsessed eyes suddenly clear.The image of being rejected by the other party countless times in the past flashed in front of her eyes, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were gloomy for a moment.
Cui Rong, the maid of honor, immediately jumped out to strike the vanguard: "Young Master Chu, how could you be so ignorant? If it wasn't for my princess mediating for you in front of His Majesty, would you still be alive?"
Chu Si raised his eyes, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.
... don't know what's good?During the time just now, he discovered many interesting things in the memory of the original body.It was so interesting that he doubted the true origin and motivation of this Princess Xinhua.
"That's enough, Cuirong!" Princess Xinhua then shouted to dismiss the maid of honor.
She seemed completely unaware of Chu Si's refusal, and stepped forward.
"Young Master Chu..." She glanced at Zhao Prison's environment with disgust, "I have wronged you these days. Don't worry, I will report to Emperor Father later—" "No need."
"As long as you agree to be my son-in-law, Father will definitely—" "I say no." Looking at the princess talking to herself, Chu Si said flatly and without mercy, "Compared with the Princess Mansion, this place is very good."
Princess Xinhua's smile froze on her face.
She looked up in disbelief.The hand at the side clenched little by little.
...I have lost my proud family background, I have no elders to rely on, and I no longer see admirers who are sought after before and behind me. alone?
"Young master Chu, do you know—" Princess Xinhua said suddenly, "The prime minister's crime has just been confirmed, and his most valued disciple and your most trusted senior brother Wang Shen hastily separated the relationship, and even came forward to testify. Evidence of the prime minister's corruption and bribery?"
"Do you know that those literati who have been friends with you every day are now criticizing that you have used the power of the prime minister to raise your reputation?"
"Did you know that the noble girls who once said that you would not marry have already started to climb other branches?"
——In this world, there is only me, and my heart for you will never change.
She finished a long series of words in one breath, and cast her expectant eyes on the young man's face, trying to see the different expression changes on the other's face.
Unfortunately not.Chu Si's expression did not change in the slightest.There was no loss, no anger, no despair, let alone the different treatment she expected.
There was only one transparency in his dark eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
"Since the princess has finished speaking, I will take my leave."
He turned to leave.
"Stop!" The female voice behind her changed from gentle to sharp, "Are you really going to reject Bengong?"
Chu Si strode away towards the entrance of the cell, even faster than when he came, looking quite impatient.He responded directly with action.
……joke!Don't say that when he saw this princess Xinhua, he would instinctively dislike him, no matter how gentle and lovely she was, he would never betray his innocence!
Princess Xinhua left in a rage.Along the way, Cui Rong, the court lady who was close to her, carefully observed her expression.For some reason, she felt that the current princess was far from being as gentle and friendly as usual, and instead had an indescribable danger.
Sure enough, as soon as she returned to her own palace, Princess Xinhua drove all the maids out.Then there was a sound of smashing things in the palace.
"Damn! Why? Why! Why is he still indifferent after I have done so much?"
On the luxurious carpet, the bronze mirror was fragmented, and the cracked fragments reflected the distorted face of the girl.
All kinds of deeds about the other party flashed through my heart, and the most profound thing in the end was the countless affectionate poems that have not yet been written.She fell to the ground exhausted, the sound was almost silent.
"...Could it be that he still misses that dead bitch?"
What Princess Xinhua didn't know was that not long after she left, another visitor appeared in Zhao Prison.
"Tsk tsk, what a great opportunity that was just now!"
The young man in red brocade sneered wantonly as he saw his former rival turned into a prisoner.
"If you promise Princess Xinhua, and she says something nice to His Majesty later, maybe you, the newly-baked son-in-law, will be acquitted and released!"
Who is the most hated person by the dandies in Yongjing City?If you make a list, then Chu Yuzhi, the model of the son of the capital who has been used by his parents countless times to educate them, is absolutely top notch.
Qu Yingfei, the young master who claims to be the head of the dandies in Yongjing, is of course no exception.Don't talk about being told by your parents every day, compare it with Chu Yuzhi.In other words, since he became enlightened, every girl he has secretly liked is Chu Yuzhi's admirer.Such a thing made him unilaterally at odds with the other party.
"Why bother to find Princess Xinhua?" The pale young man returned to the cell, and slowly sat down against the wall. He stared calmly at the young man, "Isn't there a better candidate in front of me?"
The original body's memory provided him with a lot of information, even though the original body may not have cared about it.
Qu Yingfei was stunned by the other party's gaze, and it took him a while to point his finger at himself: "You mean—me?"
He seemed to be telling a big joke: "You expect me to help you? Can I help you?"
"That's right. You will definitely help me. As for whether you can help? I think your father, Marquis Quyang, should have such ability."
Chu Si nodded slowly, and a reassuring smile appeared on his lips, but in Qu Yingfei's eyes, this smile was indescribably treacherous.
Then he slowly uttered a sentence.
Seeing Qu Yingfei's face suddenly changed, Chu Si's eyes were calm, but he said softly: "Go, it's best to hurry up."
... For him, wherever he goes, collecting information about the surroundings, looking for the enemy's weaknesses, taking advantage of other people's weaknesses, intimidating and luring... as long as he is willing, it is a breeze.
The faint light of the fire shines on the mottled stone walls, thick wooden sills and cold instruments of torture in the cell, and also illuminates the blood-stained figure in the corner of the cell.
It was a young man with an extremely beautiful appearance. This kind of beauty was not feminine, but another kind of perfection that took people's breath away. Every outline was flawless.
