The reborn sycophant

Chapter 60 Shackles

It was raining heavily.

In the courtyard, the wide leaves of the phoenix tree are swaying in the wind and rain. Under the pagoda tree next to it, the pagoda tree flowers fell to the ground, forming a big circle. Light and pleasant aroma of flowers.Some drops of rain fell on Wei Chuyan's neck, causing a burst of coolness. She didn't seem to notice it, and knelt in front of the imperial concubine calmly, with the candles flickering beside her, she remained silent.

I can really hold my breath.

From this moment on, this quiet little girl overlapped with the person who was calmly waiting in Wan Mansion in memory again. With a sense of familiarity, Concubine Wan Gui glanced at her with a smile in her eyes, and waited until she clinged to her again. The imperial concubine raised her head at the command, but the delicate and charming face of the imperial concubine instantly became cold and ruthless.

She looked into Wei Chuyan's eyes, and when she touched the pure blackness there, she still liked to sigh in her heart, but she didn't show her appreciation for Wei Chuyan, instead she seemed very angry.

For such a beauty, even if she is angry, her tone is soft and gentle, but it does not bring any warmth to people's hearts: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Wei Chuyan looked at her generously: "Why don't you give me a reason to kill me first."

Since the imperial concubine asked this sentence, it meant that the imperial concubine would not kill her, so Wei Chuyan was not afraid.

If you are not afraid, why not be more generous?

Being scratched by Wei Chuyan's indifference, the idea of ​​polishing this piece of beautiful jade emerged even more strongly, the noble concubine suppressed her inner admiration, and said in a cold voice: "You are so courageous, how dare you fight with Ben? The palace wants a reason. Wei Chuyan, you have enough secrets for you to die a hundred times, and you know enough secrets for you to die a hundred times, why do you still want to ask me for a reason?"

The palace people had already retired. In the side hall at this time, except for the two people standing and kneeling in the hall, only the flickering candles and the rain were moving, but the imperial concubine was still careful when she spoke. He only said that there were secrets on both sides, but he never clearly pointed out what it was.

But both she and Wei Chuyan understood what it was.

Wei Chuyan knelt on the cold and hard blue bricks, although his expression was very calm, his heart was a little turbulent.

She took the medicine that Zhao Ji returned to her when she was angry that day, and she also believed that Zhao Ji would not tell Concubine Wan Gui her secret. Then, it really aroused Gao Muen's suspicion. Mu En really escaped and returned to the palace earlier than them... I don't know what happened to Zhou Lu and the others, are they also safe?

As for her aptitude, it is not obvious now, the noble concubine is probably just defrauding her, she has taken the medicine at the moment and refuses to admit it to the death, the noble concubine can't do anything about her.

But...... She couldn't refute another secret, the secret about Zhao Ji.

"I don't know what the empress is talking about at the first banquet. I am innocent, and there is no big secret, but your highness—"

"Wei Chuyan, don't speak dark words to Ming people. Don't say it yourself, you can't get rid of Ji'er. In this month, she has no medicine. You and I both understand what it means. What are you talking about. Knowing this secret, now it is not whether you want to live, but whether I want you to live." The imperial concubine raised her chin, and her soft knuckles were poked by her sharp chin, and there was a sudden pain, Thinking of why this person became like this, and what kind of credit she had made, the imperial concubine felt a pang of guilt, but she forced herself to continue in a cold voice: "The most important thing is whether I want you to live or not. , Do you have anything that can impress me?"

Wei Chuyan was forced by her to look up, and looked straight at her. First, she was stabbed by the phoenix Jinbuyao on her head, and then touched her cold eyes. Wei Chuyan endured He kept tensing his back, but his face was still calm.

This is the noble concubine in the palace. For many years, there has been no queen in the harem, and she was favored by Emperor Wen. Her status is no different from that of a queen. Once the aura cultivated by her long-term high position is revealed, it will always be scary.

It's a pity that Wei Chuyan is not an ordinary 12-year-old child. There is pressure, but if it is said to be afraid, it is not.

Such indifference fell in the eyes of Concubine Wan Gui, but it was the child's unruly expression. She put some force on her fingers and reminded: "You can think about it carefully, what can impress me to protect you."

What can impress?Is a Qianyang Lord with unrivaled qualifications enough?Wei Chuyan lowered his head and sneered, and understood what the imperial concubine had in mind.

She was upset, but she had no choice.

After all....... Didn't she agree to Zhao Ji and stay by Zhao Ji's side?

Although the imperial concubine's methods were not very kind, even full of threats, but in such a position, if it were her, she would feel troublesome for a person like her.

On the one hand, it is grace, on the other hand, it is a deadly secret.

"You know what that secret means to Eleven. It's not that I'm unfeeling, and it's not that I don't miss your kindness. If I don't miss your kindness to Ji'er, I'm afraid that when you parted from Ji'er, you would have already died. You are a dead man. As for your secret, you can admit it or not, but the medicine will take time to wear off. If you want to spend a few months with me, I will treat it as a kitten for entertainment. When the time comes, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it will always show its original coat color."

Wei Chuyan's heart skipped a beat, and he said to the concubine, "Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"

The noble concubine smiled: "No, on the contrary, I believe in you very much. You can bring Ji'er back. Based on this alone, any act of loyalty is inferior, so I am willing to believe in you, and I am also willing to tolerate a hand like You put a knife like this on my neck, because I think you really won't drink the blood of me and Ji'er. As for your secret, I know it's too important to you, but it's missing from me How precious it is. What I value is your character and ability, and now I want to know about it, just to prepare for some troubles that will follow."

She looked at Wei Chuyan's unchanging expression, and there was worry in her eyes: "You should feel it, Ji'er is too dependent on you, it's okay if you are an ordinary Qianyang Lord, but if you are... Pin, you will be Ji'er's companion in the future, and get along day and night... Tell me, how much do you want to influence her?"

Wei Chuyan was in a mess, her eyelashes trembled, Concubine Wan Gui laughed suddenly when she saw this, she was finally sure that Wei Chuyan was really a superb Qianyang Lord.

Excellent...

No longer needing Wei Chuyan's answer, Concubine Wan Gui patted Wei Chuyan's shoulder, motioned her to get up and follow, and sat aside, the noble concubine took a sip of tea with great pleasure.

Zhao Yu would have trouble sleeping and eating because of Wei Chuyan's superb aptitude, but she wouldn't. With such a big help by her side, she no longer had to worry about Zhao Ji being hurt by a knife in the dark.

As for side effects...

This is something to consider.

"I told you earlier that I want you to accompany Ji'er to read."

Wei Chuyan nodded.

"But you have to practice martial arts. After the assassination in Jingzhou happened, you should also understand the importance of martial arts. I won't lie to you, I value you and want to train you to be Eleven's confidant, and you only have this one There is a way to go."

"Besides, if you don't practice martial arts, wouldn't it be a waste of your talent?"

"Isn't your empress afraid of raising tigers?" Realizing that he was still cheated by the imperial concubine, Wei Chuyan was a little unhappy, and his words were tinged with thorns.

"If this tiger really wants to be a threat, why wait until it is put in chains. It has already chosen its master, hasn't it?"

The faint fragrance of tea lingered in the side hall, and the rustling sound of the leaves blown by the wind came into the ears along with the concubine's laughter. Wei Chuyan looked down, as if he really saw a shackle on his body, tightly Tangled, looming.

His eyes drifted a little, and he looked into the distance along the long iron chain hanging from the shackles. On the other side of the thick fog, a hand was pulling it.

She knew who the owner of that hand was.

......

After everything was settled, Wei Chuyan took a long sleep.

Floating up and down, the world is sometimes dark and sometimes bright, and her body is sometimes heavy and sometimes relaxed. She is immersed in a dreamless sleep, and she doesn't know how long she has been floating.

When she opened her eyes, her head felt a little dizzy, and her body felt weak as if she hadn't eaten for a long time. She sat up in confusion, and soon lay down again because of the sudden dizziness.

Beside the bed covered with dark blue brocade, Zhao Ji, who was dressed in red and jade belt, was awakened by her movement, climbed onto the bed and knelt down beside her, and touched her forehead in great surprise: "It's not hot anymore! Are you awake? Are you awake?" Been sleeping for a long time."

She stretched out a palm in front of her eyes, spread her five fingers, and said emphatically, "You have slept for five days!"

Wei Chuyan was in a trance, and a daze flashed in Mo Yutong's eyes. She had just woken up, her long hair was a little messy, her eyes were innocent, like a deer, very gentle, Zhao Ji looked at it, thinking Go touch her.

Wei Chuyan gradually remembered that she watched Zhao Ji return to the palace and experienced another confrontation with Concubine Wan Gui. When she could finally rest, the tension in her heart broke, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down. It was dark, but even so, she was still surprised by the number that Zhao Ji said.

five days?

She had never slept so long.

The whole body was soft from sleep, but it was still full of sleep. After the initial bout of dizziness, even the head was light and unremarkable.

"What's the matter, are you hungry? I'll let them serve food!"

After Chu Yan got out of bed to wash, Zhao Ji walked up and down, talking lively.Wei Chuyan slept for the past few days, but she became busy instead. Her father seemed to be afraid, and paid a lot of attention to her. During this period when the crown prince was deposed, this attracted the attention of many people. It's a good thing, but the concubine will handle it.What annoys her is that she is checked by the imperial physician every day, and she always has to drink medicine even though there is nothing wrong with her body, saying that it is to recuperate her body, other than that, everything is fine.

Even Wei Chuyan never woke up. She guarded Wei Chuyan for several days, and on the third day, Chuyan had a fever, and she never left, almost driving the old doctor crazy.

Fortunately, the fever subsided this day, and the person woke up.

But no matter how you rely on Wei Chuyan, after Wei Chuyan woke up, because there were no outsiders in the palace, Wei Chuyan was sent out of the palace. Although he would go into the palace every day to accompany Zhao Ji to study, but at other times You can't stay in the palace for a long time.

This made Zhao Ji feel lost for a while.
