Pick all the cold branches
Chapter 75 26. Fight of the Beast
At this time, inside and outside Fengtian Hall are still full of luxury and luxury, and there is already a lot of noise in Prince Jing's mansion.
The servant who delivered the letter passed the news back to the palace, and passed it into the palace again and again, and when His Royal Highness Prince Jing finally found out, it was almost perfect.
Jing Wang Jiafei couldn't even pay his respects to his father properly, so he hurriedly found an excuse of "drunkenness and discomfort", and rushed out of the hall regardless of the obstruction, leading the guards of his palace, and rushed to the house at full speed.
This is Qilang's wedding party, and he just walked away in full view.Fortunately, Qilang is a big-hearted person, otherwise, for any narrow-minded person, this brother may never be able to do it again.
However, it is one thing for Qilang not to distract himself, but it is another matter whether his father will be displeased.
The father was displeased because he felt that he was ignorant of the general situation, embarrassing Qilang in public, and wanted to spread rumors in the court that he was at odds with Qilang.
Of course Jiafei could see his father's unkind expression at that time, but Xiaoxian's life was at stake, even if he risked his life to contradict his father once, there was no other way to go.
Jia Fei was so angry that he just wanted to shoot the troublesome Xiu Niang on the spot.
Ever since the person he sent reported that Xiao Hengwu might not be dead yet, he guessed that this would happen.
He originally thought that this little Xiuniang would definitely come after him and Jiayu, but he never expected that she would kidnap Xiaoxian.
It's exasperating to think about it.
Since it's Qilang's wedding, why can't Xiao Xian hold a banquet in the inner hall as Qilang's teacher?What's more, the royal father knew that he and Xiaoxian were not in the same relationship, even Cui Ying, an unconfessed concubine, was allowed to bring her son to the palace as a concubine, as if she was no different from Princess Jing, so she wanted to throw Xiaoxian away Go outside the temple, so that he has no time to take care of him.
Father Huang simply made things difficult for him on purpose.
Father's likes and dislikes, happiness and anger have always been unpredictable.
But no matter how hard his father made things difficult for him, he would not deliberately design Xiaoxian to let a murderous woman pretend to be a court lady to rob Xiaoxian.
This must be Chen Shiqin's handwriting.
If someone wants to reap the benefits, he must use the hands of Xiao's daughter to severely injure him, or use his hands to kill the living witness.
Of course he couldn't fulfill this great wish, and comfort the enemies in vain.
Fortunately, Xiao Hengwu seemed to be a well-behaved person, and he didn't intentionally make things worse, but brought Xiaoxian to the house that Jiayu had built for Brother Su.
Ever since Suge Bala was sent to Chengqian Palace, the mansion has been vacant, and Prince Jing's mansion has sent servants to guard it in turn, so the servant who guards the gate recognized Zhen Xian and was able to report in time.
If that Xiao Hengwu dared to hurt Xiaoxian's hair...
Anger churned in his chest.Not long ago, the scene of Xiaoxian injured and lying in a pool of blood suddenly flashed before his eyes.Jiafei really couldn't imagine what irrational things he would do if the old things happened again.
Focusing on the overall situation, he must not kill Xiao Hengwu.On the contrary, he should comfort her well and support her for future use.
How could he jump into the hole knowing that it was dug by the enemy.
However, just thinking about Xiaoxian's safety and danger at this moment, he wished he could fly to the spot with his wings, stab the nasty woman to death with his sword, and save Xiaoxian.
With a gloomy face all the way to the gate of the house, he ordered to the left and right:
"You look for a chance to take down that woman. As long as it doesn't hurt her life, it doesn't matter what else. I'll go and stabilize her first, and bring Xiaoxian back."
When the guards heard that he was going to replace Zhen Xian in person, they all objected in unison, saying that it was too risky, and advised him not to confront the female thief in person, and let them rush to take her down.
Yuqing jumped up to a high place in twos and then disappeared, saying that she wanted to find a safe angle and hit it with an arrow.
But Jiafei insisted on refusing.
The hostage in Xiao Hengwu's hands is Xiaoxian, and any slight mistake may cause Xiaoxian to lose his life, and he can't take the risk.
He ordered the guards to guard this small courtyard, stepped through the door by himself, and met the embroidered lady's eyes.
Her eyes were like swords and ice picks, cold and sharp, unstoppable.
Jiafei had never seen a woman with such killing intent in her eyes, and she was startled, thinking that it would be hard to be kind tonight.
It really doesn't work, only to kill her.
He would rather kill this woman cleanly than let Xiaoxian suffer any damage, even if it doesn't matter if she is handed over to Chen Shiqin.
He saw the sharp knife in Xiao Hengwu's hand pressed against Xiaoxian's throat, the sharp point had cut through the skin, and the oozing blood had stained the front of Zhenxian's court uniform red, showing a strange crimson color.
"You let him go first, and I will explain to you any grievances."
Jiafei was about to go crazy, suppressed his anger, and pushed forward step by step.
Xiao Hengwu grabbed Zhen Xian and retreated quickly.
"I'm afraid that my sister's family will be killed, but the prince will not come back yet."
Obviously, she had already taken a good look at the terrain, and very cleverly used Zhen Xian as a shield, always hiding in a blind corner.
Yuqing hid in the shade of the trees outside the courtyard, several times she thought she could aim at the key point, but she dodged in time, she was so anxious that her claws scratched her heart, and she almost couldn't pull the bowstring steadily.
"You only have one chance to live, don't be stupid." Jiafei didn't dare to press too hard, lest she would make a big hole in Zhen Xian's neck if she stabbed it down, so he could only negotiate with her patiently.
But Xiao Hengwu laughed out loud.
"Does the lord think that people who have died once are still afraid of death?"
She pressed against Zhen Xian more and more, her eyes flickered like a wild beast.
"You just want to seek justice from me. If that's the case, you let him go, and I'll go over to replace him." Jiafei gritted his teeth and proposed conditions.
Before the words finished, Zhen Xian yelled in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, don't come here! Miss Xiao won't hurt me..."
Look at the blood all over the neck, if she says she won't hurt you, you have to be believed.
Things have come to this point, it is difficult to be comprehensive, but Xiaoxian still wants to be comprehensive.
Jiafei was in a hurry and wanted to rush forward immediately.
However, Xiao Hengwu poked the scissors under Zhen Xian's throat again, and said coldly: "Does the lord think I'm a fool too? You are a man who can go to the battlefield, and I'm just a weak woman. If it were you and me But I can't hold it."
Seeing more and more blood gushing from Zhen Xian's neck, Jiafei had no choice but to stand still, "Then what do you want?"
"My lord doesn't know what he owes me?" Xiao Hengwu smiled coldly, and under the moonlit night, there seemed to be a touch of enchantment.
Jiafei's rising anger was almost uncontrollable, and he spoke with awe-inspiring reprimand.
"I have nothing to explain for failing to do what you entrusted. But I don't owe you anything. It wasn't me who forced you to jump off the cliff, and it wasn't me who killed your relatives. , it's not your turn to be presumptuous."
However, when he said that, Xiao Hengwu only felt that he was putting on airs of his prince and prince, and immediately smiled embarrassingly.
"Then why does the lord think he is a 'limin'? Am I not one of the 'limin'? Why is the lord ashamed of the people but not of me?"
In this situation, what's the point of arguing with this woman?
Jiafei was already unwilling to talk nonsense with her anymore, for a moment she felt that Yuqing's hands and feet were too inflexible, and for a moment she hated herself for being kind just now and ordering the guards not to hurt this woman's life, which made Xiaoxian shed so much more Blood.
Seeing that his face was cold and serious, but he no longer paid attention to himself, Xiao Hengwu's eyes flashed dark for a moment.
"Is the prince unwilling to answer me or can't answer it? How about the little girl help you think about it?"
As she spoke, she forcefully slashed the tip of the knife along the side of Zhen Xian's neck.
"Xiao Hengwu!" Jiafei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a roar.
Blood gushed out from the neither long nor short wound in an instant, dyeing Jiafei's sight red.
Although Xiaoxian didn't make a sound, his pale face was already clear.Xiaoxian is just trying his best to endure, in order not to make him lose his position due to worry, so he desperately holds on.
He knew that Xiao Hengwu was actually innocent.He even knew that if this woman died here, Xiaoxian would be sad and might even blame him for it.
But at this moment, the burning killing intent clearly told him that he wanted this woman to die, and wanted to cut her into pieces and gouge out her heart.
Just one click.After all, Xiao Hengwu was just an ordinary embroiderer, although she used a sharp weapon to hold her hostage, she was not good at fighting.As long as he finds the right opening and kills her, he can save Xiaoxian.
The dark tide surged over his eyes.He saw Zhen Xian staring at him intently, those eyes were clearly trying to stop him, telling him not to make impulsive decisions.But he couldn't stand it any longer.
With the saber more than an inch out of its sheath, Jia Fei was almost about to strike.
But he heard a cry.
"Xiao Niang! Stop!"
Jia Yu staggered and ran over from behind, rushed to stop him, met Xiao Hengwu's resentful gaze, coaxed softly, and pushed his sword back into its sheath without any trace.
"I was the one who promised you. I was the one who lied to you. It's none of my second brother's business. If you want to collect debts, I'll pay you back. Don't make things difficult for my second brother."
When she saw Jia Fei leaving the table, Jia Yu knew that something serious must have happened.
In the past, if the second brother wanted to leave on such occasions, he would definitely discuss it with him first, let him pretend to be sick to scare people, and then escorted him under the pretense, and the two left together.Anyway, he has always been weak and sick, and he would fall down when he said he fell down, and he would vomit blood when he said he vomited blood. Everyone was very jealous and would never make things difficult for them.
But this time the second brother didn't even care about performing this little trick, he just stood up and left, with a black look on his face that he was going to kill someone.
Jiayu couldn't sit still at that time, and immediately claimed that he was sick and unwell, and chased him all the way.
He originally wanted to wait and see and find a safe countermeasure, but seeing that his second brother had murderous intentions, he couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed forward to stop him.
Xiao Hengwu is a fierce woman.For Xiao Hengwu, Jiayu himself didn't feel much, and he didn't have the overflowing compassion of Zhen Xian.But he would never let his second brother kill Xiao Hengwu.
Since he knew it was a trick set by his opponent, why did he jump into the trap?Who knows if the other party has any other moves that have been waiting for?
What's more, this matter has alarmed the father.
Father is not stupid, they left the meeting so hastily, of course they knew that there must be something wrong.Leaving Chen Shiqin alone, if the father pursues him later, how will the second brother explain?
The second brother only thinks about Zhen Xian, and really doesn't care about anything else.
Jia Yu was anxious, so she couldn't help taking another step forward, firmly blocking Jia Fei behind her.
When Xiao Hengwu saw this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
But soon disappeared.
"Okay. Master Zhen once ran and took risks for us, and I didn't want to wrong him at first. It would be better if His Highness came to change." Her eyes rolled, and she actually showed a look of invitation.
"Shiro, you..." Jiafei couldn't allow this delicate and frail younger brother to stand in front of him, so he wanted to drag him back.
Jia Yu turned around and hugged her second brother.
"Let me come, second brother, I'm fine, Zhen Xian will be fine too, calm down, don't be impatient..."
He coaxed softly in Jiafei's ear, then gritted his teeth and turned around, walking towards Xiao Hengwu.
In fact, I was very scared.
He grew up so big and has been well protected. Since the last time he went to Suzhou with his second brother, he had never experienced such a thing at all.Who knows what is going on now, there will be bloody disasters every two days.
Zhen Xian obviously still wanted to stop him, but he struggled and shouted for a while before being stabbed mercilessly by Xiao Hengwu again.
"Don't get in the way here, you will cause trouble if you attract bees and butterflies!"
Jia Yu lowered his face on purpose and taunted Zhen Xian unceremoniously.
He just wanted Zhen Xian to go further away and go to a safe place.Only when Zhen Xian is safe, the second elder brother will not be restrained, and will be able to judge the situation calmly and not be swayed by emotions.Only in this way can he have the chance to go back alive.
Xiao Hengwu seemed to be hesitant, hesitating between the two hostages.
Where there is hesitation, there must be flaws.
Jiafei stared at Xiao's daughter to death, and made quick calculations in his mind.
When she makes up her mind to exchange hostages, there must be a moment of omission. If Yuqing is not stupid, he will definitely seize this opportunity. In this way, he can take the opportunity to step forward and restrain this woman, Bao Xiaoxian And Jiayu is safe.
But this is a strategy of do-or-die battle, it is all based on tacit understanding, if there is any omission, there will be casualties.
Once this situation arises, Xiaoxian and Jiayu, he may only be able to protect one, and the other will have to resign to fate.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, what should he do with this kind of choice?
There was a sudden shake in my heart.Jia Fei quickly bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to concentrate.
Xiao Hengwu really made a move.She pushed Zhen Xian hard, and then tried to put the tip of the knife against Jia Yu.
At this very moment, a swift arrow galloped through the air, and pierced through the palm of Xiao Hengwu's hand holding the scissors.
Xiao Hengwu let out a cry of pain, and the black cast iron scissors fell to the ground.
Jiafei immediately jumped up, grabbed the woman's arms tightly, and pressed her to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hengwu let out a stern laugh instead.
She twisted and struggled suddenly, tilted her head, parted her vermilion lips lightly, and let out a mouthful of orchid air.
It turned out that she had been hiding a hidden weapon in her mouth all along!
Jia Fei felt bad, but it was too late to stop him, so he could only rush forward to block it.
There was a sudden flash of light in his mind, and before he had time to think about anything, he instinctively turned around and stretched out his hand, then pressed Jiayu's head, and held him tightly in his arms.
Jia Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what happened, and then panicked and struggled.
The second brother actually protected him with his body.
But how could the second brother protect him with his own body?
What if... if that woman hurts my second brother...?
The guards rushed forward and pressed Xiao Hengwu like a piece of dead meat.
Jia Yu was trembling with fear.
"Second brother! Second brother!" He finally couldn't help hissing, like an overly frightened kitten, stretching out its claws to grab anything closest to him, struggling to stand up, but found that his whole body was limp.
But Jiafei turned around and supported him steadily.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiafei's voice sounded very calm and calm, and it didn't seem like anything was wrong.
But Jia Yu still stared in horror.
"No...no...Second brother, you...blood..." Jia Yu opened his mouth incoherently, and his expression turned pale when he stared at the side of the second brother's neck.
Jiafei felt some warm liquid dripping down his neck.But it didn't hurt.He stretched out his hand to touch it, making sure it wasn't his own blood, suddenly his heart trembled, he turned around and hugged Zhen Xian who had fallen down.
Except for the scars and blood stains on the neck caused by Xiao Hengwu, Zhen Xian seemed to be fine.
But his face was very tired, and his expression was also in a trance, as if he was enduring great pain, which was particularly frightening.
Jiafeijuer panicked for a while.
nothing will happen.nothing will happen.At most, in the chaos, the blood from the flesh wounds rubbed against himself.Where is that unlucky...
He comforted himself in his heart, and called out nervously: "Xiaoxian!"
When Zhen Xian heard Jia Fei's voice, a little light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't kill her..." He seemed to want to say something to Jiafei, but when he opened his mouth, blood gushed out of his throat.It was as if there was a spring in his throat, and blood was gurgling out.Jiafei was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst, he hurriedly hugged him and looked for the wound, only to find that there was a very small silver nail pierced on his back, which had been deeply pierced into his lungs, and the exposed tail end had an ominous look purple black.The accompanying imperial doctor had already stepped forward, took over the person, and swiftly pulled out, administered needles, and stopped the bleeding.But I couldn't stop it.Jiafei watched Zhen Xian coughing up blood and felt like falling into an ice cave.What did he just... do?His thoughts were gradually separated from the chaos, and he finally sorted out the context.He subconsciously turned around to protect Jia Yu just now.And Xiaoxian rushed forward to protect him.
He hurt Xiaoxian again.
But he didn't even know why he reacted this way.
Xiao Hengwu was tied up by the guards, and he kept laughing and crying.
An uncontrollable hostility surged up in an instant.
Jiafei only felt that his eyes were going black, and he wished he could stab that crazy woman right through with a sword.But he heard Zhen Xian calling him in a spirited manner. "Your Highness, you cannot kill her..."
Zhen Xian stretched out his hand over the imperial doctor beside him.
"Stop talking, it's important to heal your wounds!" Jiafei's eyes suddenly became hot, and he couldn't control anything, he could only hold on to that hand tightly.
That night, Prince Jing's mansion was lit up all night long.
The imperial doctors said that Lord Zhen's injury was severe not because of how deep the wound was, but because it touched an old wound that had not fully healed, and the newly healed wound was torn open again, so he coughed up blood .It is simply that the silver nail was not poisoned, and the nail has been taken out, and it did not stay in the body, and now the bleeding has finally stopped, as long as it can rest for a while, it will gradually get better.It's just that the lung meridian is repeatedly damaged, new injuries and old diseases accumulate, and I'm afraid it will inevitably fall to the root of the disease in the future.
Jiafei sat by the hospital bed, even though he knew that his life was not in danger, he still felt dizzy.
Xiaoxian has been intertwined with his fingers, and never let go from the beginning to the end.Probably because he was afraid that he would go crazy again and do something irrational, so even if he passed out from the serious injury, he still wanted to hold on to him like this.
Empress Jiafei was terrified.
After calming down, he thought about it carefully, but no matter what, he couldn't figure out what happened to him at that time.
He would abandon Xiaoxian and protect Jiayu subconsciously.
Completely instinctive, without any thought.
He never thought that he would do this in a critical moment of life and death.
How could he let Xiaoxian to fend for himself in such a dangerous situation, so that Xiaoxian was injured again.
Jia Fei felt that his heart was about to burst.
He couldn't accept what he had done, let alone forgive.
It's not that he doesn't care about Jia Yu's life or death.
But...that's Xiaoxian!Xiaoxian is different, he is the only one in his life, his spring breeze and moonlight, he has sworn never to let Xiaoxian get hurt again.
But he keeps breaking his promise.
He dismissed the imperial doctor and servants, and started to guard Zhen Xian alone again in a daze.
Everyone in the palace was terrified, fearing that he would suffer from hysteria again and hurt his body, so they didn't dare to approach him, so they all watched quietly from a distance.
But this time Zhen Xian woke up very quickly, when the morning sun shone into the room, he was far from being lethargic for several days like last time.
Jiafei was so pleasantly surprised that she almost didn't shed tears.
He heard Zhen Xian ask him: "What was His Highness thinking in a daze?"
Xiaoxian is still very weak, his voice is hoarse and thin, as if it will be cut off at any time.
"Thinking of you so stupidly. Thinking of me so...then..." Jiafei was stunned for a long time but couldn't find the right words, so he could only silently stop talking.
He really didn't know what to say about himself.
Zhen Xian lay on the bed and looked at him sideways, seeing his bitterness and hatred towards her, she laughed softly.
"Where's Miss Xiao?" He asked him again.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill her. I'll keep her in custody for the time being. I'll try again later. I don't want to see her right now." Hearing this person, Jiafei immediately showed a disgusted expression, and agreed with the conversation, unwilling to say a word. .
His brows were always tightly wrinkled, his chin was covered with blue stubble, and he was haggard overnight.
"Your Highness, don't frown..."
Zhen Xian stretched out his hand with difficulty, as if he was trying hard to flatten the notch between his brows, and he couldn't help sighing while comforting him in a low voice.
"Don't blame yourself. You've done nothing wrong."
"I..." Jia Fei felt a lump in his throat.
Zhen Xian couldn't help smiling wryly.He insisted on letting Jiafei help him sit up, and he must look straight into His Royal Highness Prince Jing's eyes solemnly, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with you protecting Fourth Highness. You are the elder brother, and Fourth Highness is your younger brother. Elder brother protects younger brother. It's justified. Otherwise, if something happens to His Royal Highness, can you bear it?"
That is of course impossible.
If it was Jia Yu who was injured and lying on the bed now, he would also be sad and suffering.
Especially if Jiayu's body is like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it again.
If he failed to protect Jiayu well, he would feel guilty and blame himself.
But what kind of excuse is this?
Can this cover up his dereliction of duty and dishonesty?
He let Xiaoxian get hurt.
"Xiaoxian, you—" Jiafei was at a loss for words for a long time, and could only look deeply at Zhen Xian's still weak eyebrows.
Zhen Xian smiled calmly.
"I am a subject of His Highness, and it is only natural for me to protect His Highness."
He spoke frankly and sincerely.
But Jiafei seemed to be pierced in the heart suddenly, and frowned again in pain.
"You are not just my subject. Who wants you to be a subject. I don't want you to protect me with your life. If I can't protect you well, but ask you to protect me instead, what is it?" He scolded him with a straight face , full of resentment.
Zhen Xian shook his head and smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Your Highness has the heart to care for younger brothers, it is His Highness who is virtuous; and His Highness is able to rest assured that his back is handed over to Zhen Xian, it is Zhen Xian's honor."
Jia Fei was stunned for a long time, only to feel his eye sockets heat up.
Xiaoxian was actually comforting him, in order to make him feel better.
It is obviously an unreasonable thing to say, but Xiaoxian can say it clearly and logically, as if it is true.But it is such an unreasonable rhetoric, as long as it comes from that person's mouth, he is willing to believe it no matter what.
Because he didn't dare at all, and he didn't want to think deeply about the fear hidden behind this choice.
Jiafei sighed, and buried his head in Zhen Xian's lap, thinking that he was a big cat pretending to sleep, no matter how much Ren Zhenxian tried to persuade him, he refused to look up.
The news that Lord Zhen woke up safely spread quickly throughout Prince Jing's mansion.
Jia Yu hugged her knees and curled up on the bed, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
His hands and feet were all stiff and cold, and he couldn't stretch them freely for a while.
Only then did he think of calling someone to bring the stove.
The second brother subconsciously protected him.
This is something he never dared to think about before.
He originally thought that if he had to choose between the two, the second brother would definitely choose Zhen Xian without hesitation.
But at that moment, the second brother desperately sacrificed himself to protect him.
At the time, he was so frightened that he almost went crazy.I'm afraid that my second brother will make a mistake.
Thinking about it afterwards, it suddenly seemed like a dream, there was a trace of irresistible sweetness, and more of it was boundless bitterness.
The second brother himself may not be aware of it, or maybe he doesn't want to be aware of it at all, what does this instinctive choice mean.
Yet he understood immediately.
The second brother has him in his heart.This perception made him ecstatic for a moment.
However, in the second brother's heart, he is far inferior to Zhen Xian.
The second elder brother protects him because he is the younger brother, and it is a deep-rooted responsibility in his subconscious mind, and he may also feel a little guilty.
And Zhen Xian is different, Zhen Xian is everything to the second brother, the other half of the entanglement in the soul.
In the heart of the second brother, Zhen Xian has long been regarded as a part of himself, not another existence that can be compared with him.
That's why the second brother made such a choice.
Friendship is in a dilemma, giving up one's life for righteousness.
As far as the second brother is concerned, he is righteousness, while Zhen Xian is love and fate.
The second brother is really protecting him with his life.
He and Zhen Xian are really...there is nothing comparable.
But how much he wanted to be Zhen Xian.
He would rather he was the one who gave up his second brother, and he would rather be the one who could lay down his life for his second brother...
Jia Yu hugged the hand stove rustlingly, trying to warm herself up a little.
When the imperial doctors surrounded Zhen Xian to treat him, he huddled in his nest like a frightened bird, fearing that if a thunder strikes, everything would be over.
If Zhen Xian died like this, the second brother might not blame him, but he would never want to see him again.
Jia Yu felt that he had never hoped for Zhen Xian's well-being like this in his life, it was ridiculous.
It wasn't until Zhen Xian finally recovered that he collapsed with relief, feeling exhausted from the tips of his hair to his fingertips.
Xiao Hengwu couldn't just ignore it.
The second brother definitely doesn't want to see this woman right now.
So he had to go to trial for his second brother.
He hurriedly stood up, only to find that he was still wearing the dusty and blood-stained court clothes from the night before when he came to the door.
So he ordered someone to bring hot water, wiped his face and body indiscriminately, changed his clothes, and went to see Xiao Hengwu.
Xiao Hengwu was still tied up and locked in an empty room in the palace.
She didn't look like a prisoner at all, her eyes were still full of mockery and fierceness.
"Why didn't you kill me?" She asked Jia Yu with a smile.
"You really want to die so much, you just hit the wall yourself."
Jia Yu stared at her coldly, seeing the strength in her eyes disintegrate bit by bit.
"With such great ability, why don't you have to deal with your real enemy? Even if my second brother and I really have something to do to you, Zhen Xian has never owed you. If you do this, it will be the same as those who killed your sister's family." People, how much difference is there?"
Xiao Hengwu still stiffened his neck at first, but gradually he finally lowered his head.
"You guys kill me..." She bit her lips stubbornly, turning her face away, not wanting to let Jiayu see the falling stars in her eyes.
This time she really wanted to die.
Jia Yu was stunned for a long time when he heard this, but when he came back to his senses, he smiled to himself.
"We won't kill you. We won't let others kill you. Not because you deserve to live. It's because you can't die yet. Just live as hard as you can."
But Jia Yu knew clearly in his heart that if the second brother didn't kill Xiao Hengwu, someone else would definitely kill him.
For the current plan, the only way to save her life is to make her a woman who cannot be easily killed.
He thought about it all night, and the next morning, he finally entered the palace to see his father.
He told his father that when he was in Suzhou, he fell in love with a embroidered lady, and wanted to accept her as a concubine, and begged his father for permission.
Although he has always had a bad reputation for being arrogant and stubborn, he has never asked his father for a Maid Maid.He faintly felt that his father was actually very clear about his thoughts.The emperor just let him play around and left him alone for the sake of him being a person who could die at any moment.
But now that he wanted a woman, it was a good thing for his father, and his father would definitely agree.It must be said that even Xiao Qi married the new princess. Among his brothers, he was the only one who was completely lonely, and he didn't even have a concubine, which caused a lot of criticism.
Sure enough, his father approved his proposal and allowed him to take Xiao Shi as his concubine.
From then on, there was no more embroiderer Xiao Hengwu in the world, only Mrs. Xiao, the concubine of Prince Ankang.
Of course, he didn't think that this would completely stop peace.
Xiao Niang is a living victim, Chen Shiqin will definitely try his best to get rid of her.
But in this way, if he wanted to kill Mrs. Xiao, it would be very difficult not to be stained with the blood of Jia Yu, the king of Ankang County.
He wanted to gamble.
He guessed that his father would definitely not agree.
He didn't care about accepting Xiao Hengwu either.
Since Second Brother accepted A Cui, how could he not accept Xiao Niang?
Although this woman is rough, she is ruthless and sharp, like a sword that has not been polished, and in time it will become a unparalleled sharp weapon. Since it cannot be killed, it must be used for oneself.
Anyway, what he wanted in his heart was destined not to be obtained in this life.That being the case, what's the point of keeping this false name in vain?Why don't you just make the most of it...
Before bidding farewell to his father, he suddenly raised his head and asked his father: "Does my father know how Zhen Xian's old injury relapsed the night before?"
Sitting in the empty Qixiang Palace, the royal father looked at him without saying a word.
Father actually knows everything.
That being the case, what did the royal father think?
Jia Yu couldn't wait for a response, so he raised his head resolutely, and asked again: "Is it true that Father doesn't want to say a word to his sons?"
The aging emperor's eyes were always dark, and after a long time, he smiled wryly.
"You guys can't win the fight now. Go back and tell your second brother: I don't want to kill my son anymore."
Jia Yu was startled when he heard this, and when he returned to Prince Jing's mansion, he suddenly woke up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He told his second elder brother everything about paying homage to his father.
For several days in a row, Jia Fei seemed to have grown up beside Zhen Xian's hospital bed, and he didn't even know when his younger brother entered the palace.
Father is reminding him.
Chen Shiqin will not let go, even if he no longer conspires and plots to send people to assassinate him, as long as he and Qilang continue to hold Jingzhong side by side, sooner or later they will be forced to turn against each other.
And once you turn against each other, whether you like it or not, it's your life and death.
When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured, neither him nor Qilang, is definitely not what the father would like to see.
Unless one person is willing to retreat.
Although Qilang is now a prince and has opened a palace, he is still just a child with short hair.
The only one who can and should retire is his elder brother.
Jiafei pondered over and over again, and was really worried, so he could only ask Zhen Xian, "I have one thing, which I think should be done. But if I do it, I'm afraid not only will my family worry about me, but you will also be tired of following me." Take a risk."
Zhen Xian couldn't help but laugh when he heard that, "What kind of stupid words is your Highness saying? If I was afraid of this, I wouldn't have come back to see you in the first place."
Jia Fei still had doubts on his face, frowning all the time, "But now you have an injury that hasn't healed..."
Zhen Xian held his hand carefully, and coaxed him softly while smiling: "Injuries will always heal. It doesn't matter where you raise them."
Seven days later, King Jing Jiafei made a performance and asked himself to go down to the south of the Yangtze River again and stay in Zhili in the south to lead the anti-Japanese war along the coast.
The servant who delivered the letter passed the news back to the palace, and passed it into the palace again and again, and when His Royal Highness Prince Jing finally found out, it was almost perfect.
Jing Wang Jiafei couldn't even pay his respects to his father properly, so he hurriedly found an excuse of "drunkenness and discomfort", and rushed out of the hall regardless of the obstruction, leading the guards of his palace, and rushed to the house at full speed.
This is Qilang's wedding party, and he just walked away in full view.Fortunately, Qilang is a big-hearted person, otherwise, for any narrow-minded person, this brother may never be able to do it again.
However, it is one thing for Qilang not to distract himself, but it is another matter whether his father will be displeased.
The father was displeased because he felt that he was ignorant of the general situation, embarrassing Qilang in public, and wanted to spread rumors in the court that he was at odds with Qilang.
Of course Jiafei could see his father's unkind expression at that time, but Xiaoxian's life was at stake, even if he risked his life to contradict his father once, there was no other way to go.
Jia Fei was so angry that he just wanted to shoot the troublesome Xiu Niang on the spot.
Ever since the person he sent reported that Xiao Hengwu might not be dead yet, he guessed that this would happen.
He originally thought that this little Xiuniang would definitely come after him and Jiayu, but he never expected that she would kidnap Xiaoxian.
It's exasperating to think about it.
Since it's Qilang's wedding, why can't Xiao Xian hold a banquet in the inner hall as Qilang's teacher?What's more, the royal father knew that he and Xiaoxian were not in the same relationship, even Cui Ying, an unconfessed concubine, was allowed to bring her son to the palace as a concubine, as if she was no different from Princess Jing, so she wanted to throw Xiaoxian away Go outside the temple, so that he has no time to take care of him.
Father Huang simply made things difficult for him on purpose.
Father's likes and dislikes, happiness and anger have always been unpredictable.
But no matter how hard his father made things difficult for him, he would not deliberately design Xiaoxian to let a murderous woman pretend to be a court lady to rob Xiaoxian.
This must be Chen Shiqin's handwriting.
If someone wants to reap the benefits, he must use the hands of Xiao's daughter to severely injure him, or use his hands to kill the living witness.
Of course he couldn't fulfill this great wish, and comfort the enemies in vain.
Fortunately, Xiao Hengwu seemed to be a well-behaved person, and he didn't intentionally make things worse, but brought Xiaoxian to the house that Jiayu had built for Brother Su.
Ever since Suge Bala was sent to Chengqian Palace, the mansion has been vacant, and Prince Jing's mansion has sent servants to guard it in turn, so the servant who guards the gate recognized Zhen Xian and was able to report in time.
If that Xiao Hengwu dared to hurt Xiaoxian's hair...
Anger churned in his chest.Not long ago, the scene of Xiaoxian injured and lying in a pool of blood suddenly flashed before his eyes.Jiafei really couldn't imagine what irrational things he would do if the old things happened again.
Focusing on the overall situation, he must not kill Xiao Hengwu.On the contrary, he should comfort her well and support her for future use.
How could he jump into the hole knowing that it was dug by the enemy.
However, just thinking about Xiaoxian's safety and danger at this moment, he wished he could fly to the spot with his wings, stab the nasty woman to death with his sword, and save Xiaoxian.
With a gloomy face all the way to the gate of the house, he ordered to the left and right:
"You look for a chance to take down that woman. As long as it doesn't hurt her life, it doesn't matter what else. I'll go and stabilize her first, and bring Xiaoxian back."
When the guards heard that he was going to replace Zhen Xian in person, they all objected in unison, saying that it was too risky, and advised him not to confront the female thief in person, and let them rush to take her down.
Yuqing jumped up to a high place in twos and then disappeared, saying that she wanted to find a safe angle and hit it with an arrow.
But Jiafei insisted on refusing.
The hostage in Xiao Hengwu's hands is Xiaoxian, and any slight mistake may cause Xiaoxian to lose his life, and he can't take the risk.
He ordered the guards to guard this small courtyard, stepped through the door by himself, and met the embroidered lady's eyes.
Her eyes were like swords and ice picks, cold and sharp, unstoppable.
Jiafei had never seen a woman with such killing intent in her eyes, and she was startled, thinking that it would be hard to be kind tonight.
It really doesn't work, only to kill her.
He would rather kill this woman cleanly than let Xiaoxian suffer any damage, even if it doesn't matter if she is handed over to Chen Shiqin.
He saw the sharp knife in Xiao Hengwu's hand pressed against Xiaoxian's throat, the sharp point had cut through the skin, and the oozing blood had stained the front of Zhenxian's court uniform red, showing a strange crimson color.
"You let him go first, and I will explain to you any grievances."
Jiafei was about to go crazy, suppressed his anger, and pushed forward step by step.
Xiao Hengwu grabbed Zhen Xian and retreated quickly.
"I'm afraid that my sister's family will be killed, but the prince will not come back yet."
Obviously, she had already taken a good look at the terrain, and very cleverly used Zhen Xian as a shield, always hiding in a blind corner.
Yuqing hid in the shade of the trees outside the courtyard, several times she thought she could aim at the key point, but she dodged in time, she was so anxious that her claws scratched her heart, and she almost couldn't pull the bowstring steadily.
"You only have one chance to live, don't be stupid." Jiafei didn't dare to press too hard, lest she would make a big hole in Zhen Xian's neck if she stabbed it down, so he could only negotiate with her patiently.
But Xiao Hengwu laughed out loud.
"Does the lord think that people who have died once are still afraid of death?"
She pressed against Zhen Xian more and more, her eyes flickered like a wild beast.
"You just want to seek justice from me. If that's the case, you let him go, and I'll go over to replace him." Jiafei gritted his teeth and proposed conditions.
Before the words finished, Zhen Xian yelled in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, don't come here! Miss Xiao won't hurt me..."
Look at the blood all over the neck, if she says she won't hurt you, you have to be believed.
Things have come to this point, it is difficult to be comprehensive, but Xiaoxian still wants to be comprehensive.
Jiafei was in a hurry and wanted to rush forward immediately.
However, Xiao Hengwu poked the scissors under Zhen Xian's throat again, and said coldly: "Does the lord think I'm a fool too? You are a man who can go to the battlefield, and I'm just a weak woman. If it were you and me But I can't hold it."
Seeing more and more blood gushing from Zhen Xian's neck, Jiafei had no choice but to stand still, "Then what do you want?"
"My lord doesn't know what he owes me?" Xiao Hengwu smiled coldly, and under the moonlit night, there seemed to be a touch of enchantment.
Jiafei's rising anger was almost uncontrollable, and he spoke with awe-inspiring reprimand.
"I have nothing to explain for failing to do what you entrusted. But I don't owe you anything. It wasn't me who forced you to jump off the cliff, and it wasn't me who killed your relatives. , it's not your turn to be presumptuous."
However, when he said that, Xiao Hengwu only felt that he was putting on airs of his prince and prince, and immediately smiled embarrassingly.
"Then why does the lord think he is a 'limin'? Am I not one of the 'limin'? Why is the lord ashamed of the people but not of me?"
In this situation, what's the point of arguing with this woman?
Jiafei was already unwilling to talk nonsense with her anymore, for a moment she felt that Yuqing's hands and feet were too inflexible, and for a moment she hated herself for being kind just now and ordering the guards not to hurt this woman's life, which made Xiaoxian shed so much more Blood.
Seeing that his face was cold and serious, but he no longer paid attention to himself, Xiao Hengwu's eyes flashed dark for a moment.
"Is the prince unwilling to answer me or can't answer it? How about the little girl help you think about it?"
As she spoke, she forcefully slashed the tip of the knife along the side of Zhen Xian's neck.
"Xiao Hengwu!" Jiafei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a roar.
Blood gushed out from the neither long nor short wound in an instant, dyeing Jiafei's sight red.
Although Xiaoxian didn't make a sound, his pale face was already clear.Xiaoxian is just trying his best to endure, in order not to make him lose his position due to worry, so he desperately holds on.
He knew that Xiao Hengwu was actually innocent.He even knew that if this woman died here, Xiaoxian would be sad and might even blame him for it.
But at this moment, the burning killing intent clearly told him that he wanted this woman to die, and wanted to cut her into pieces and gouge out her heart.
Just one click.After all, Xiao Hengwu was just an ordinary embroiderer, although she used a sharp weapon to hold her hostage, she was not good at fighting.As long as he finds the right opening and kills her, he can save Xiaoxian.
The dark tide surged over his eyes.He saw Zhen Xian staring at him intently, those eyes were clearly trying to stop him, telling him not to make impulsive decisions.But he couldn't stand it any longer.
With the saber more than an inch out of its sheath, Jia Fei was almost about to strike.
But he heard a cry.
"Xiao Niang! Stop!"
Jia Yu staggered and ran over from behind, rushed to stop him, met Xiao Hengwu's resentful gaze, coaxed softly, and pushed his sword back into its sheath without any trace.
"I was the one who promised you. I was the one who lied to you. It's none of my second brother's business. If you want to collect debts, I'll pay you back. Don't make things difficult for my second brother."
When she saw Jia Fei leaving the table, Jia Yu knew that something serious must have happened.
In the past, if the second brother wanted to leave on such occasions, he would definitely discuss it with him first, let him pretend to be sick to scare people, and then escorted him under the pretense, and the two left together.Anyway, he has always been weak and sick, and he would fall down when he said he fell down, and he would vomit blood when he said he vomited blood. Everyone was very jealous and would never make things difficult for them.
But this time the second brother didn't even care about performing this little trick, he just stood up and left, with a black look on his face that he was going to kill someone.
Jiayu couldn't sit still at that time, and immediately claimed that he was sick and unwell, and chased him all the way.
He originally wanted to wait and see and find a safe countermeasure, but seeing that his second brother had murderous intentions, he couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed forward to stop him.
Xiao Hengwu is a fierce woman.For Xiao Hengwu, Jiayu himself didn't feel much, and he didn't have the overflowing compassion of Zhen Xian.But he would never let his second brother kill Xiao Hengwu.
Since he knew it was a trick set by his opponent, why did he jump into the trap?Who knows if the other party has any other moves that have been waiting for?
What's more, this matter has alarmed the father.
Father is not stupid, they left the meeting so hastily, of course they knew that there must be something wrong.Leaving Chen Shiqin alone, if the father pursues him later, how will the second brother explain?
The second brother only thinks about Zhen Xian, and really doesn't care about anything else.
Jia Yu was anxious, so she couldn't help taking another step forward, firmly blocking Jia Fei behind her.
When Xiao Hengwu saw this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
But soon disappeared.
"Okay. Master Zhen once ran and took risks for us, and I didn't want to wrong him at first. It would be better if His Highness came to change." Her eyes rolled, and she actually showed a look of invitation.
"Shiro, you..." Jiafei couldn't allow this delicate and frail younger brother to stand in front of him, so he wanted to drag him back.
Jia Yu turned around and hugged her second brother.
"Let me come, second brother, I'm fine, Zhen Xian will be fine too, calm down, don't be impatient..."
He coaxed softly in Jiafei's ear, then gritted his teeth and turned around, walking towards Xiao Hengwu.
In fact, I was very scared.
He grew up so big and has been well protected. Since the last time he went to Suzhou with his second brother, he had never experienced such a thing at all.Who knows what is going on now, there will be bloody disasters every two days.
Zhen Xian obviously still wanted to stop him, but he struggled and shouted for a while before being stabbed mercilessly by Xiao Hengwu again.
"Don't get in the way here, you will cause trouble if you attract bees and butterflies!"
Jia Yu lowered his face on purpose and taunted Zhen Xian unceremoniously.
He just wanted Zhen Xian to go further away and go to a safe place.Only when Zhen Xian is safe, the second elder brother will not be restrained, and will be able to judge the situation calmly and not be swayed by emotions.Only in this way can he have the chance to go back alive.
Xiao Hengwu seemed to be hesitant, hesitating between the two hostages.
Where there is hesitation, there must be flaws.
Jiafei stared at Xiao's daughter to death, and made quick calculations in his mind.
When she makes up her mind to exchange hostages, there must be a moment of omission. If Yuqing is not stupid, he will definitely seize this opportunity. In this way, he can take the opportunity to step forward and restrain this woman, Bao Xiaoxian And Jiayu is safe.
But this is a strategy of do-or-die battle, it is all based on tacit understanding, if there is any omission, there will be casualties.
Once this situation arises, Xiaoxian and Jiayu, he may only be able to protect one, and the other will have to resign to fate.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, what should he do with this kind of choice?
There was a sudden shake in my heart.Jia Fei quickly bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to concentrate.
Xiao Hengwu really made a move.She pushed Zhen Xian hard, and then tried to put the tip of the knife against Jia Yu.
At this very moment, a swift arrow galloped through the air, and pierced through the palm of Xiao Hengwu's hand holding the scissors.
Xiao Hengwu let out a cry of pain, and the black cast iron scissors fell to the ground.
Jiafei immediately jumped up, grabbed the woman's arms tightly, and pressed her to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hengwu let out a stern laugh instead.
She twisted and struggled suddenly, tilted her head, parted her vermilion lips lightly, and let out a mouthful of orchid air.
It turned out that she had been hiding a hidden weapon in her mouth all along!
Jia Fei felt bad, but it was too late to stop him, so he could only rush forward to block it.
There was a sudden flash of light in his mind, and before he had time to think about anything, he instinctively turned around and stretched out his hand, then pressed Jiayu's head, and held him tightly in his arms.
Jia Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what happened, and then panicked and struggled.
The second brother actually protected him with his body.
But how could the second brother protect him with his own body?
What if... if that woman hurts my second brother...?
The guards rushed forward and pressed Xiao Hengwu like a piece of dead meat.
Jia Yu was trembling with fear.
"Second brother! Second brother!" He finally couldn't help hissing, like an overly frightened kitten, stretching out its claws to grab anything closest to him, struggling to stand up, but found that his whole body was limp.
But Jiafei turned around and supported him steadily.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiafei's voice sounded very calm and calm, and it didn't seem like anything was wrong.
But Jia Yu still stared in horror.
"No...no...Second brother, you...blood..." Jia Yu opened his mouth incoherently, and his expression turned pale when he stared at the side of the second brother's neck.
Jiafei felt some warm liquid dripping down his neck.But it didn't hurt.He stretched out his hand to touch it, making sure it wasn't his own blood, suddenly his heart trembled, he turned around and hugged Zhen Xian who had fallen down.
Except for the scars and blood stains on the neck caused by Xiao Hengwu, Zhen Xian seemed to be fine.
But his face was very tired, and his expression was also in a trance, as if he was enduring great pain, which was particularly frightening.
Jiafeijuer panicked for a while.
nothing will happen.nothing will happen.At most, in the chaos, the blood from the flesh wounds rubbed against himself.Where is that unlucky...
He comforted himself in his heart, and called out nervously: "Xiaoxian!"
When Zhen Xian heard Jia Fei's voice, a little light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't kill her..." He seemed to want to say something to Jiafei, but when he opened his mouth, blood gushed out of his throat.It was as if there was a spring in his throat, and blood was gurgling out.Jiafei was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst, he hurriedly hugged him and looked for the wound, only to find that there was a very small silver nail pierced on his back, which had been deeply pierced into his lungs, and the exposed tail end had an ominous look purple black.The accompanying imperial doctor had already stepped forward, took over the person, and swiftly pulled out, administered needles, and stopped the bleeding.But I couldn't stop it.Jiafei watched Zhen Xian coughing up blood and felt like falling into an ice cave.What did he just... do?His thoughts were gradually separated from the chaos, and he finally sorted out the context.He subconsciously turned around to protect Jia Yu just now.And Xiaoxian rushed forward to protect him.
He hurt Xiaoxian again.
But he didn't even know why he reacted this way.
Xiao Hengwu was tied up by the guards, and he kept laughing and crying.
An uncontrollable hostility surged up in an instant.
Jiafei only felt that his eyes were going black, and he wished he could stab that crazy woman right through with a sword.But he heard Zhen Xian calling him in a spirited manner. "Your Highness, you cannot kill her..."
Zhen Xian stretched out his hand over the imperial doctor beside him.
"Stop talking, it's important to heal your wounds!" Jiafei's eyes suddenly became hot, and he couldn't control anything, he could only hold on to that hand tightly.
That night, Prince Jing's mansion was lit up all night long.
The imperial doctors said that Lord Zhen's injury was severe not because of how deep the wound was, but because it touched an old wound that had not fully healed, and the newly healed wound was torn open again, so he coughed up blood .It is simply that the silver nail was not poisoned, and the nail has been taken out, and it did not stay in the body, and now the bleeding has finally stopped, as long as it can rest for a while, it will gradually get better.It's just that the lung meridian is repeatedly damaged, new injuries and old diseases accumulate, and I'm afraid it will inevitably fall to the root of the disease in the future.
Jiafei sat by the hospital bed, even though he knew that his life was not in danger, he still felt dizzy.
Xiaoxian has been intertwined with his fingers, and never let go from the beginning to the end.Probably because he was afraid that he would go crazy again and do something irrational, so even if he passed out from the serious injury, he still wanted to hold on to him like this.
Empress Jiafei was terrified.
After calming down, he thought about it carefully, but no matter what, he couldn't figure out what happened to him at that time.
He would abandon Xiaoxian and protect Jiayu subconsciously.
Completely instinctive, without any thought.
He never thought that he would do this in a critical moment of life and death.
How could he let Xiaoxian to fend for himself in such a dangerous situation, so that Xiaoxian was injured again.
Jia Fei felt that his heart was about to burst.
He couldn't accept what he had done, let alone forgive.
It's not that he doesn't care about Jia Yu's life or death.
But...that's Xiaoxian!Xiaoxian is different, he is the only one in his life, his spring breeze and moonlight, he has sworn never to let Xiaoxian get hurt again.
But he keeps breaking his promise.
He dismissed the imperial doctor and servants, and started to guard Zhen Xian alone again in a daze.
Everyone in the palace was terrified, fearing that he would suffer from hysteria again and hurt his body, so they didn't dare to approach him, so they all watched quietly from a distance.
But this time Zhen Xian woke up very quickly, when the morning sun shone into the room, he was far from being lethargic for several days like last time.
Jiafei was so pleasantly surprised that she almost didn't shed tears.
He heard Zhen Xian ask him: "What was His Highness thinking in a daze?"
Xiaoxian is still very weak, his voice is hoarse and thin, as if it will be cut off at any time.
"Thinking of you so stupidly. Thinking of me so...then..." Jiafei was stunned for a long time but couldn't find the right words, so he could only silently stop talking.
He really didn't know what to say about himself.
Zhen Xian lay on the bed and looked at him sideways, seeing his bitterness and hatred towards her, she laughed softly.
"Where's Miss Xiao?" He asked him again.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill her. I'll keep her in custody for the time being. I'll try again later. I don't want to see her right now." Hearing this person, Jiafei immediately showed a disgusted expression, and agreed with the conversation, unwilling to say a word. .
His brows were always tightly wrinkled, his chin was covered with blue stubble, and he was haggard overnight.
"Your Highness, don't frown..."
Zhen Xian stretched out his hand with difficulty, as if he was trying hard to flatten the notch between his brows, and he couldn't help sighing while comforting him in a low voice.
"Don't blame yourself. You've done nothing wrong."
"I..." Jia Fei felt a lump in his throat.
Zhen Xian couldn't help smiling wryly.He insisted on letting Jiafei help him sit up, and he must look straight into His Royal Highness Prince Jing's eyes solemnly, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with you protecting Fourth Highness. You are the elder brother, and Fourth Highness is your younger brother. Elder brother protects younger brother. It's justified. Otherwise, if something happens to His Royal Highness, can you bear it?"
That is of course impossible.
If it was Jia Yu who was injured and lying on the bed now, he would also be sad and suffering.
Especially if Jiayu's body is like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it again.
If he failed to protect Jiayu well, he would feel guilty and blame himself.
But what kind of excuse is this?
Can this cover up his dereliction of duty and dishonesty?
He let Xiaoxian get hurt.
"Xiaoxian, you—" Jiafei was at a loss for words for a long time, and could only look deeply at Zhen Xian's still weak eyebrows.
Zhen Xian smiled calmly.
"I am a subject of His Highness, and it is only natural for me to protect His Highness."
He spoke frankly and sincerely.
But Jiafei seemed to be pierced in the heart suddenly, and frowned again in pain.
"You are not just my subject. Who wants you to be a subject. I don't want you to protect me with your life. If I can't protect you well, but ask you to protect me instead, what is it?" He scolded him with a straight face , full of resentment.
Zhen Xian shook his head and smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Your Highness has the heart to care for younger brothers, it is His Highness who is virtuous; and His Highness is able to rest assured that his back is handed over to Zhen Xian, it is Zhen Xian's honor."
Jia Fei was stunned for a long time, only to feel his eye sockets heat up.
Xiaoxian was actually comforting him, in order to make him feel better.
It is obviously an unreasonable thing to say, but Xiaoxian can say it clearly and logically, as if it is true.But it is such an unreasonable rhetoric, as long as it comes from that person's mouth, he is willing to believe it no matter what.
Because he didn't dare at all, and he didn't want to think deeply about the fear hidden behind this choice.
Jiafei sighed, and buried his head in Zhen Xian's lap, thinking that he was a big cat pretending to sleep, no matter how much Ren Zhenxian tried to persuade him, he refused to look up.
The news that Lord Zhen woke up safely spread quickly throughout Prince Jing's mansion.
Jia Yu hugged her knees and curled up on the bed, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
His hands and feet were all stiff and cold, and he couldn't stretch them freely for a while.
Only then did he think of calling someone to bring the stove.
The second brother subconsciously protected him.
This is something he never dared to think about before.
He originally thought that if he had to choose between the two, the second brother would definitely choose Zhen Xian without hesitation.
But at that moment, the second brother desperately sacrificed himself to protect him.
At the time, he was so frightened that he almost went crazy.I'm afraid that my second brother will make a mistake.
Thinking about it afterwards, it suddenly seemed like a dream, there was a trace of irresistible sweetness, and more of it was boundless bitterness.
The second brother himself may not be aware of it, or maybe he doesn't want to be aware of it at all, what does this instinctive choice mean.
Yet he understood immediately.
The second brother has him in his heart.This perception made him ecstatic for a moment.
However, in the second brother's heart, he is far inferior to Zhen Xian.
The second elder brother protects him because he is the younger brother, and it is a deep-rooted responsibility in his subconscious mind, and he may also feel a little guilty.
And Zhen Xian is different, Zhen Xian is everything to the second brother, the other half of the entanglement in the soul.
In the heart of the second brother, Zhen Xian has long been regarded as a part of himself, not another existence that can be compared with him.
That's why the second brother made such a choice.
Friendship is in a dilemma, giving up one's life for righteousness.
As far as the second brother is concerned, he is righteousness, while Zhen Xian is love and fate.
The second brother is really protecting him with his life.
He and Zhen Xian are really...there is nothing comparable.
But how much he wanted to be Zhen Xian.
He would rather he was the one who gave up his second brother, and he would rather be the one who could lay down his life for his second brother...
Jia Yu hugged the hand stove rustlingly, trying to warm herself up a little.
When the imperial doctors surrounded Zhen Xian to treat him, he huddled in his nest like a frightened bird, fearing that if a thunder strikes, everything would be over.
If Zhen Xian died like this, the second brother might not blame him, but he would never want to see him again.
Jia Yu felt that he had never hoped for Zhen Xian's well-being like this in his life, it was ridiculous.
It wasn't until Zhen Xian finally recovered that he collapsed with relief, feeling exhausted from the tips of his hair to his fingertips.
Xiao Hengwu couldn't just ignore it.
The second brother definitely doesn't want to see this woman right now.
So he had to go to trial for his second brother.
He hurriedly stood up, only to find that he was still wearing the dusty and blood-stained court clothes from the night before when he came to the door.
So he ordered someone to bring hot water, wiped his face and body indiscriminately, changed his clothes, and went to see Xiao Hengwu.
Xiao Hengwu was still tied up and locked in an empty room in the palace.
She didn't look like a prisoner at all, her eyes were still full of mockery and fierceness.
"Why didn't you kill me?" She asked Jia Yu with a smile.
"You really want to die so much, you just hit the wall yourself."
Jia Yu stared at her coldly, seeing the strength in her eyes disintegrate bit by bit.
"With such great ability, why don't you have to deal with your real enemy? Even if my second brother and I really have something to do to you, Zhen Xian has never owed you. If you do this, it will be the same as those who killed your sister's family." People, how much difference is there?"
Xiao Hengwu still stiffened his neck at first, but gradually he finally lowered his head.
"You guys kill me..." She bit her lips stubbornly, turning her face away, not wanting to let Jiayu see the falling stars in her eyes.
This time she really wanted to die.
Jia Yu was stunned for a long time when he heard this, but when he came back to his senses, he smiled to himself.
"We won't kill you. We won't let others kill you. Not because you deserve to live. It's because you can't die yet. Just live as hard as you can."
But Jia Yu knew clearly in his heart that if the second brother didn't kill Xiao Hengwu, someone else would definitely kill him.
For the current plan, the only way to save her life is to make her a woman who cannot be easily killed.
He thought about it all night, and the next morning, he finally entered the palace to see his father.
He told his father that when he was in Suzhou, he fell in love with a embroidered lady, and wanted to accept her as a concubine, and begged his father for permission.
Although he has always had a bad reputation for being arrogant and stubborn, he has never asked his father for a Maid Maid.He faintly felt that his father was actually very clear about his thoughts.The emperor just let him play around and left him alone for the sake of him being a person who could die at any moment.
But now that he wanted a woman, it was a good thing for his father, and his father would definitely agree.It must be said that even Xiao Qi married the new princess. Among his brothers, he was the only one who was completely lonely, and he didn't even have a concubine, which caused a lot of criticism.
Sure enough, his father approved his proposal and allowed him to take Xiao Shi as his concubine.
From then on, there was no more embroiderer Xiao Hengwu in the world, only Mrs. Xiao, the concubine of Prince Ankang.
Of course, he didn't think that this would completely stop peace.
Xiao Niang is a living victim, Chen Shiqin will definitely try his best to get rid of her.
But in this way, if he wanted to kill Mrs. Xiao, it would be very difficult not to be stained with the blood of Jia Yu, the king of Ankang County.
He wanted to gamble.
He guessed that his father would definitely not agree.
He didn't care about accepting Xiao Hengwu either.
Since Second Brother accepted A Cui, how could he not accept Xiao Niang?
Although this woman is rough, she is ruthless and sharp, like a sword that has not been polished, and in time it will become a unparalleled sharp weapon. Since it cannot be killed, it must be used for oneself.
Anyway, what he wanted in his heart was destined not to be obtained in this life.That being the case, what's the point of keeping this false name in vain?Why don't you just make the most of it...
Before bidding farewell to his father, he suddenly raised his head and asked his father: "Does my father know how Zhen Xian's old injury relapsed the night before?"
Sitting in the empty Qixiang Palace, the royal father looked at him without saying a word.
Father actually knows everything.
That being the case, what did the royal father think?
Jia Yu couldn't wait for a response, so he raised his head resolutely, and asked again: "Is it true that Father doesn't want to say a word to his sons?"
The aging emperor's eyes were always dark, and after a long time, he smiled wryly.
"You guys can't win the fight now. Go back and tell your second brother: I don't want to kill my son anymore."
Jia Yu was startled when he heard this, and when he returned to Prince Jing's mansion, he suddenly woke up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He told his second elder brother everything about paying homage to his father.
For several days in a row, Jia Fei seemed to have grown up beside Zhen Xian's hospital bed, and he didn't even know when his younger brother entered the palace.
Father is reminding him.
Chen Shiqin will not let go, even if he no longer conspires and plots to send people to assassinate him, as long as he and Qilang continue to hold Jingzhong side by side, sooner or later they will be forced to turn against each other.
And once you turn against each other, whether you like it or not, it's your life and death.
When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured, neither him nor Qilang, is definitely not what the father would like to see.
Unless one person is willing to retreat.
Although Qilang is now a prince and has opened a palace, he is still just a child with short hair.
The only one who can and should retire is his elder brother.
Jiafei pondered over and over again, and was really worried, so he could only ask Zhen Xian, "I have one thing, which I think should be done. But if I do it, I'm afraid not only will my family worry about me, but you will also be tired of following me." Take a risk."
Zhen Xian couldn't help but laugh when he heard that, "What kind of stupid words is your Highness saying? If I was afraid of this, I wouldn't have come back to see you in the first place."
Jia Fei still had doubts on his face, frowning all the time, "But now you have an injury that hasn't healed..."
Zhen Xian held his hand carefully, and coaxed him softly while smiling: "Injuries will always heal. It doesn't matter where you raise them."
Seven days later, King Jing Jiafei made a performance and asked himself to go down to the south of the Yangtze River again and stay in Zhili in the south to lead the anti-Japanese war along the coast.
