Peach concubine

Liufang Pavilion is several streets away from Pingyanghou's Mansion. Jian Ruolin ignored the night-time curfew order, so she swished her horsewhip to make a "squeaky" sound. The four horseshoes stepped on the bluestone road, and the sound was very clear at night. .

Finally arrived at the Marquis of Pingyang, Jian Ruolin lost her usual meticulous demeanor, got off the horse, and slammed on the door with bare hands: "Is anyone there? Open the door."

The boy rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and opened his mouth to scold who it was! It was the middle of the night disturbing people's dreams. After seeing clearly that it was Jian Ruolin, he had no choice but to swallow his breath: "Mr. Jian? It's so late, why are you here?" ?”

"Jing..." In desperation, still remembering to be scruples, he changed his address and said, "Is Young Master here?"

The servant replied: "Unfortunately, the young master just left an hour ago, and the emperor will go to the Great Buddha Mountain to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven early in the morning, and the master has to go there early to take care of everything..."

Jian Ruolin originally had a gentle and elegant temperament, but at this moment her eyes were red with anxiety, and she couldn't wait for the boy to finish speaking, so she hurriedly thanked her, turned around, led the horse again, got on the horse, and galloped away whipping her whip. go.

The little servant looked puzzled, closed the door embarrassingly, and turned around, not wanting Wanzhen to be standing there supported by the maid.

"Ma'am? It's the middle of the night, why are you here, be careful."

Wanzhen usually doesn't have the airs of a young lady, and she treats people gently, so the servant doesn't seem very panicked and cramped.

The maid spoke bluntly: "Exactly, whoever came to the mansion in the middle of the night, the door was slammed so loudly that the madam was startled."

The servant also responded casually: "It's Mr. Jian, who is in a hurry to find the young master. Hearing that the young master has gone to Foshan, he hurriedly rode his horse and left again."

Wanzhen pondered for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, and finally ordered: "Liu Zhu, you find someone reliable to go to the Great Buddha Mountain to have a look. If you have any news, come back and tell me immediately."

Liu Zhu answered yes in a low voice.

The Great Buddha Temple is located on the outskirts of the capital city of Jinling, and it would take one or two hours to reach it even if it was driven fast.

Jian Ruolin watched the bright moon above her head sinking little by little, and her heart also slowly sank.

When he went out, he didn't have time to distinguish carefully, the horse he brought out from his house was not a good horse, no matter how hard he whipped, he couldn't catch up with Xiao Jingmo's unparalleled black-crested horse.

It's just that at this moment, he didn't think about so much, he only thought of going faster, faster...

The whip was whipped down again, and the horse under its crotch neighed, suddenly convulsed, and fell to its knees without warning.Jian Ruolin bumped all the way, only relying on his thoughts to keep driving forward. At this moment, something happened, and he reacted flawlessly. The whole person fell forward under the huge inertia, and was thrown a long distance.

All the bones in Jian Ruolin's body seemed to be broken, especially the elbows. When she moved lightly, she was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat. It was likely that the bones were broken by the fall just now.Sweat had soaked her cheeks, and her loose hair was wet in wisps, sticking to her forehead.He raised his head with all his strength, and vaguely saw a sharp corner protruding from the jungle on the top of the Great Buddha Temple, his face was ashen.

As for the poor horse, overwhelmed, he fell to the ground, convulsing and foaming.

The next moment, in his line of sight, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by a huge explosion sound in his ears, and even the ground below him seemed to be fighting slightly.

Jian Ruolin's dark pupils reflected the sky full of flames, as well as infinite panic and despair──

A cub-like roar came from the bottom of his throat: "Jing Mo──" but was immediately covered by a huge roar.

Without knowing where the strength came from, Jian Ruolin held her injured arm and struggled to walk forward.The mountain road was rugged, and the flesh on the bend of the leg was scratched by the fall just now. The red flesh in the wound was turned outwards, sprinkling scarlet blood.The light was dim at night, and I don't know how many times my skin was scratched by the branches that crossed out to block the way. A navy blue robe was mixed with dust and blood, and it was torn in several places, looking very distressed.

But Jian Ruolin didn't realize it, and limped close to the Great Buddha Temple.

Different from other temples, at the beginning of its establishment, the Great Buddha Temple built its foundation beside this rural town. Therefore, although the Great Buddha Temple is a royal temple, it does not prohibit the people from worshiping, and there are even hundreds of townspeople , Generations of generations have lived and thrived around it.The loud noise just now almost shook the ground and destroyed this small town in the countryside.

The courtyard wall of the Great Buddha Temple has collapsed, and thick black smoke is billowing. As for the small town that lives around the Great Buddha Temple, most of it has been turned into ruins, and faint cries and screams can be heard in the night The sound, where it enters the eye, there are broken walls and ruins, and the limbs are broken.

Jian Ruolin seemed to have lost her soul, stepping in from the ruins of the courtyard wall with a gap, unconsciously turning over the broken bricks and stones, the only thing left in her mind was when Xiao Jingmo turned around, that evil spirit smile.

It seemed that even the blood was trembling uncontrollably under the skin.

I dare not scroll down, afraid of seeing things I don't want to see; but I dare not stop, afraid of missing the last chance to meet.There was a voice in my heart saying: No way, Xiao Jingmo is as clever and flexible, he will definitely escape smoothly, maybe, maybe he was delayed by something on the way, and he hasn't arrived at the Great Buddha Temple yet?But there was another voice: No matter how powerful Xiao Jingmo is, he is still a mortal. How can flesh and blood compete with the powerful gunpowder.

This feeling was so terrifying that Jian Ruolin felt that she was going crazy.

The hand that frantically flipped through the ruins stopped, and on Jian Ruolin's bloody hand, a piece of broken jade pendant tassel lay in the palm of her hand.Most of that piece of jade has been shattered, but on the remaining part, it is still vaguely discernible that it used to be the word "Mo".Jian Ruolin was shocked, looked at the broken jade pendant, and squatted there in amazement, her eyes seemed to see through the jade.

Liu Zhu persuaded her many times, but Wanzhen was still in a state of uneasiness. As soon as she lay down, she faintly heard a loud roar in the distance.

With a pale face, Wanzhen pushed away the quilt that Liu Zhu had just covered her, sat up and looked out the window, and murmured, "Did you hear that? Liu Zhu, over there, there was a loud noise, like , as if something exploded."

Liu Zhu listened sideways for a while, but didn't hear anything: "Ma'am, you must have heard it wrong, Liu Zhu didn't hear anything..." Then seeing Wanzhen's dazed look, she couldn't help persuading her: " Madam has been tossing around for most of the night, and she is still carrying her body. How can she not rest well? The young master is a man of destiny, so what will happen, Madam is just worrying for nothing. Besides, I have already sent someone to go to the Great Buddha Temple I have inquired, and I will wake up Madam when I have news... My good Madam, I beg you, please rest."

Wanzhen was speechless, so she had to lie down again, and let Liu Zhu cover her with the quilt and put down the bed curtain.

It's just that I can't fall asleep no matter what, and I always feel uneasy in my heart, as if something is going to happen.

After lying down for more than half an hour, he finally couldn't lie down anymore, lifted the curtain and got up: "Liu Zhu──"

The little servant girl ran in, looked at Wanzhen's appearance, and said, "Ma'am, haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep, where is the person sent to the Great Buddha Temple? Have you come back?"

Liu Zhu hesitated for a while, and under Wanzhen's watchful eyes, he said in a low voice, "You just entered the door, I think Madam didn't report immediately after she fell asleep..."

"Am I too used to you guys? I dare to do what I tell you!" Wanzhen had a kind face, but at this moment when she got angry, it made people tremble and fear. Liu Zhu immediately knelt down: "Slaves should die!"

Wanzhen softened her face, but the anxiety between her brows remained undiminished: "Forget it, let someone come in quickly."

The servant who was sent to inquire about the news knelt under the bed, separated by a screen.

"Did something happen at the Great Buddha Temple?"

The servant lowered his head and didn't reply for a long time.Finally, under Wanzhen's repeated questioning, she stumbled and replied: "I was ordered by my wife to go and investigate, and halfway there, I heard a loud noise in the direction of the Great Buddha Temple. I thought something was wrong, so I speeded up After passing by, when we arrived, we only saw a corner of the Great Buddha Temple being blown away, and most of the townspeople living around the temple were killed or injured..."

Wanzhen's face was pale, and her voice was already trembling: "Then, what about the young master?"

The servant buried his head even further: "The slave didn't see the young master, but counting the time, the young master should be in the Great Buddha Temple at that time, making arrangements for the first time for the ceremony... I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Wanzhen was barefoot, as if she didn't realize it, but on her beautiful cheeks, there was a patch of miserable whiteness.

Liu Zhu didn't care about presumptuousness, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, who told you to say such unlucky words."

Wanzhen swayed slightly, Liu Zhu was terrified by her appearance, and helped her to sit back on the bed.

Suddenly, there was a severe cramping pain in the abdomen. Wanzhen covered her protruding stomach with a pale face, and gritted her teeth: "It hurts, my stomach hurts..." Fingers pinched into Liu Zhu's arm, three points into the flesh: "Call the doctor, Call the doctor..."

Liu Zhu looked down and saw that Wanzhen's lower garment had been soaked in blood, she was frightened out of her wits, stared at the bright red that kept coming out, and shouted in panic in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, call the doctor and midwife, Madam is about to give birth prematurely." !"

A hand stretched out, grabbed Jian Ruolin who was squatting in the ruins, and turned around.

Jian Ruolin's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and she was so confused that she couldn't see clearly.But the hearing was still there, and the voice rang in my ears, the most familiar tune: "Why are you here?" Then he pulled him for a while, and then said anxiously: "How did you make yourself into this look? Hurry up Tell me where it hurts and how it hurts?"

Jian Ruolin stared at the person for a long time, as if she couldn't believe it.It took a long time to confirm that the person standing in front of him was a person who could speak and get angry. He opened his mouth and called softly, "Jing Mo?"

Xiao Jingmo looked at his scarred hands and the smudges all over his body. He really felt distressed. He didn't know when Jian Ruolin came to the Great Buddha Temple. He was afraid that he was affected by the explosion just now, and he didn't know what happened to him. There are no scars that I can't see with the naked eye, so I can only ask anxiously over and over again: "Ruo Lin, where did you get hurt, tell me quickly."

Jian Ruolin still had that dazed look, opening her mouth: "I thought, I thought..."

Xiao Jingmo smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, and made the intimate gesture very casually: "I'm here right here? It's you...you scared me." His eyes fell on Jian Ruolin tightly. Holding the hand that was still trembling with the broken jade pendant: "It's okay, this fell accidentally, I didn't even know..." Jian Ruolin's white jade-like hands were stained with blood at this moment, Xiao Jingmo's heart was infinitely soft , avoiding his injury and pulling his wrist: "The injury is like this, if you don't take care of it, you may get an infection, come with me."

Jian Ruolin let him pull her, and followed behind without saying a word.

Xiao Jingmo was still a little worried, so he turned around and asked him, "Where else is hurt?"

Jian Ruolin shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a skin trauma, it just looks scary."

Xiao Jingmo pulled him into a house that was still intact, and several relatives guarded the door.Xiao Jingmo pressed him on the chair in the middle of the room, and brought the wound medicine and gauze.The watchful guard called for a hot towel, and Xiao Jingmo wiped off the stains on Jian Ruolin's body with the hot towel, and then carefully applied the medicine and wrapped the gauze.

When pulling Jian Ruolin's right arm, the originally quiet person suddenly let out a sharp cry of pain.

Xiao Jingmo frowned, faintly feeling that there was something wrong, and forcefully opened the sleeve of his right arm, only to see that the elbow joint of Jian Ruolin's right hand was swollen, and when he touched it lightly, Jian Ruolin's expression changed due to the pain .

"This, the joints are all dislocated, what's wrong with you, how did you make it like this?"

Jian Ruolin gritted her teeth, and Xiao Jingmo's eyes showed pitiful fragility in the appearance of enduring the pain: "I... I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I rode over here on horseback, but I didn't expect the horse to miss you. Use it, dropped me halfway."

Seeing his terribly painful appearance, Xiao Jingmo couldn't utter any words of blame, so he could only hold his slender wrist and turn it over and over again: "I'll help you put the joint back together, it may hurt a little, bear with it point."

Jian Ruolin nodded seriously, with beads of sweat all over her forehead, her big eyes were staring at Xiao Jingmo.
