Birds on the edge of the abyss 25
At this time, the sound of chains came from the palace again, "clang" "clang" sound continuously, Shen Luli realized that something was wrong at this time, he stopped banging on the palace door to attract people to open the door, anyway these people would not come, this is a trap, he can only save himself
Thinking back to the second test Chu Xin mentioned last night, could this be it? They're underestimating me!
Shen Luli took out the pill from the porcelain bottle, put it into his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation. Thinking of Lan Huan repeatedly telling him not to eat too much before leaving, otherwise it would aggravate his physical decline, Shen Luli smiled bitterly. If he didn't take this medicine, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive today.
After putting the porcelain bottle away, Shen Luli moved his ears and listened to the sound of tiny chains gradually coming from that direction. Since he couldn't hide, he would just go straight to it. I want to see what is locked here.
Shen Luli took a big step forward, and lifted the layers of white gauze with his arms. Looking down from above, the white gauze was like water waves, being shaken by people and becoming swaying. The people inside were like fish playing in the water, free but not free.
The further he walked in, the colder it became. Shen Luli shivered with cold. He pulled at the fox fur coat he was wearing, exhaled a breath of warm air, and walked forward resolutely until he reached the end of this direction. However, the person he saw made Shen Luli take several steps back in horror, and finally fell to the ground, tearing off several pieces of white gauze.
A bloody white veil fell from the sky and covered Shen Luli. One of the veils just covered Shen Luli's eyes. Through the white veil, Shen Luli could clearly see that the current Empress was lying on the ground unconscious and struggling to survive.
Her whole body was bruised and swollen, and her hands and feet were shackled with chains that restricted her movements. The parts where her hands and feet were connected to the shackles were rubbed bloody, and she couldn't help shaking, so she made a series of noises.
"Auntie...Auntie?" Shen Luli trembled all over, moved the corners of his mouth, and shouted stiffly
The queen did not respond to her. Instead, she stared upwards with her eyes wide open, mumbling something that Shen Luli could not understand. Her originally elegant face had become haggard, with many fine lines on it, like a withered flower that had withered away after its blooming period.
"Is it His Majesty?" Shen Luli asked softly. The Queen was still talking to herself.
Shen Luli coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, stood up shakily, took a few steps back, bowed his head and said
"Peizi knows, don't worry, aunt, Peizi will definitely avenge you."
His tears dripped onto the smooth floor, and some of them dripped onto the white gauze, overlapping with the bloodstains on it, rendering the bloodstains even darker. Shen Luli kowtowed three times solemnly.
He looked in several other directions, the layers of white gauze, the extremely cold palace, the biting winter wind, and silent tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
As expected, Shen Luli saw the corpses of 133 people from the Zhenguo Mansion at the end of several other directions.
The head and body were sewn together by the coroner and buried in a coffin in a corner of the palace where ice had gathered. The body was not rotten, but only looked pale blue, as if it was asleep.
The emotions that "Grandfather" Shen Luli suppressed so hard suddenly burst out like a flood, and he knelt on the ground and cried inconsolably.
He was born to be an elite child of aristocratic families. His excellent etiquette made him cry quietly even in the difficult situation he faced. He would not cry hysterically or lose his mind and lose the face of the Zhenguo Mansion.
But crying like this makes me more tired and more heartbroken.
After a while, with red eyes, he reached out and touched the cold, pale hand of the Duke of Zhenguo, and whispered
"Pei Zi hates Grandfather so much. Why did you have to die? It would be better if it was Pei Zi who died." Shen Luli muttered.
"If you were still alive, you wouldn't let these villains tarnish our clan for no reason. The same goes for the emperor and the people who framed us. How much better it would be if I died, wouldn't it be them who died?"
As he spoke, Shen Luli's tone gradually took on a hint of madness and cruelty.
Leaving the bodies of their clan members here for a long time instead of burying them immediately is not only a humiliation, but also a warning to all the noble families not to take any extra actions. If they are not careful, it will lead to a tragedy like the Zhenguo Mansion.
Such a vicious practice is indeed the method of the current emperor. Now calling him to come and see instead of showing up is a warning to Shen Luli not to make excessive moves. It is enough to guard his own one acre and three points of land and live a good life.
"What a shame! This makes me want revenge even more. What should I do?"
Shen Luli stood up, stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, which were now filled with murderous intent, and whispered
After saying this, he coughed again and said, "There is no greater hatred than this."
After he kowtowed several times in front of the corpse, the door of the palace was pushed open from the outside with a clang.
Chu Xin strode in from outside, walking in front with his hands behind his back, followed by Hou Delin who was extremely anxious and kept trying to stop him.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! You can't go in anymore. You're making it difficult for me to report to you!"
Chu Xin stopped, turned around and said calmly, "Since when did a lowly person like you dare to stop me?"
Chu Xin raised the corner of his mouth and sneered at the stunned Hou Delin. Bu Nan immediately stepped forward and pressed Hou Delin to his knees.
There was a sound of "crack", the sound of the kneecap breaking. Hou Delin screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, sweating coldly. He bit his lips tightly until they bled, then he said incoherently, "Ahhhhhhh, Your Highness, please spare me, I know I was wrong."
Chu Xin snorted coldly, looking at the hesitant palace servants following Hou Delin behind him, and kicked Hou Delin in disgust. The other party's shrill shouting made his ears hurt.
"That's why I particularly hate eunuchs, these androgynous bastards!"
Chu Xin put his hands behind his back and kicked Hou Delin several times before he breathed a sigh of relief at the man's fainting face.
After entering the palace, the palace maids led him to the Frost and Snow Palace. He sat there for a long time and did not see the emperor coming, so he immediately stood up and sent someone to check. As a result, he heard Bu Nan coming to report that Shen Luli had been invited by Hou Delin to the Ganquan Palace and had not come out for a long time. Hou Delin did not see the palace maids go in to serve him or serve tea and water.
Now when he came over to take a look, he really guessed it right. Chu Xin's face turned very ugly and he stepped harder.
At this time, there was a crooked sound of footsteps behind him. Chu Xin looked back and saw Shen Luli stretching out a slender white hand to lift the white gauze, and walked out with a pale face. When he saw that this person's eyes were not focused together, Chu Xin narrowed his eyes.
Sure enough, when there were only a dozen steps left to Chu Xin
Shen Luli closed his eyes and fainted
