Chapter 132 The truth behind the death in the previous life is revealed
When Qi Yunshen woke up, it was already dark.
The room was dimly lit with an oil lamp.
Jiang Yunzheng was sitting at the table with her back to him, not knowing what she was doing. There was a kitchen knife on the table.
He was weak and his limbs were tied with iron chains that Jiang Yunzheng had found from somewhere, making him unable to move.
The arm moved slightly, and the sound of the chain was very clear in the house.
Jiang Yunzheng gave him anesthesia.
Jiang Yunzheng paused slightly, then slowly turned around and met Qi Yunshen's complicated gaze.
"woke up?"
Qi Yunshen just looked at her.
Jiang Yunzheng walked over, staring at him with her bright, clear eyes. "Qi Yunshen, you never thought you'd see this day, did you?"
Qi Yunshen curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said nothing.
Jiang Yunzheng narrowed her eyes slightly: "Aren't you afraid? I can kill you now."
Qi Yunshen's tone was gentle: "You drugged me, are you afraid I'll run away?"
Jiang Yunzheng stood by the bed with her hands folded, looking down at him with a bad tone: "Of course, you've been drugged and chained, you can't escape even if you're a cow."
Jiang Yunzheng didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely saw a flash of smile in Qi Yunshen’s eyes.
laugh?
How dare you laugh in this situation?
How much does Qi Yunshen look down on her???
Jiang Yunzheng lit another oil lamp, making the room brighter. She walked to the bed with a knife in her hand.
Qi Yunshen cooperated in tone: "What are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yunzheng grabbed Qi Yunshen's collar and lifted him up.
"I'm going to ask you a question. If you don't answer it well... don't blame me."
Jiang Yunzheng's knife was hanging on Qi Yunshen's leg.
Qi Yunshen's gaze fell on Jiang Yunzheng's face. The two were very close to each other. He looked into Jiang Yunzheng's eyes and saw his own reflection clearly.
As she exhaled, the faint scent of medicine from Jiang Yunzheng drifted to Qi Yunshen's nose.
"You ask."
Qi Yunshen's gaze was direct and passionate. Jiang Yunzheng felt a little uncomfortable. She loosened Qi Yunshen's sleeve, sat down on the bed and said coldly, "I'm asking for someone else."
Qi Yunshen nodded.
Jiang Yunzheng's lips moved slightly, and she looked back at him: "Why did you want to kill Xu Jingyang?"
As soon as the words came out, the heavy stone pressing on Jiang Yunzheng's heart fell.
No matter what, all grudges were completely settled this night.
Until now, she just wanted to know the truth.
The air fell silent for a moment.
The iron chain moved slightly, and a warm touch came from Jiang Yunzheng's palm, and Qi Yunshen held her hand.
Jiang Yunzheng was furious, "Let go! Who told you to touch me?"
Qi Yunshen looked at her, and deep in his eyes, there was bitterness, regret... and some things that Jiang Yunzheng couldn't understand.
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't shake him off, Qi Yunshen's strength was even greater than at the riverside.
While struggling, Jiang Yunzheng felt a sore nose.
She closed her eyes and said, "Qi Yunshen, do you want to die now?"
"You killed her with your own hands, who are you pretending to be like this for—"
"Jing Yang."
Hearing Qi Yunshen's hoarse voice, Jiang Yunzheng froze. She stared at Qi Yunshen and said, "Just say what you want to say."
The sound of the chains was extremely obvious.
Before Jiang Yunzheng noticed, Qi Yunshen had already sat up, and Jiang Yunzheng subconsciously stepped back.
But her hand was still held by Qi Yunshen, and the next moment she fell into his warm and broad arms.
Jiang Yunzheng subconsciously pressed her finger against the acupoint on the back of Qi Yunshen's neck and said:
"Qi Yunshen, do you want to die now?!"
Qi Yunshen hugged her tightly: "How could I kill her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in his arms immediately struggled.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? Who are you trying to fool?"
Qi Yunshen placed his palm on the head of the person in his arms, stroking it again and again, and a trembling voice rang out:
"That's not me. That's not me."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yunzheng seemed to be deaf for a moment.
She bit her lip tightly, staring at the earthen wall, and the knife in her hand fell on the bed.
Qi Yunshen slightly let go of her, his right hand still tightly wrapped around Jiang Yunzheng's waist. He wiped away the tears on Jiang Yunzheng's face, his narrow and long phoenix eyes flushed red:
"When the palace was on fire, I was still training troops in the West Mountain Camp."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned slightly.
"The one with Xiao Qinyu is Qi Yunpei." Qi Yunshen's face was bitter. "He is the second son of the Qi family who died several years ago."
Jiang Yunzheng took a deep breath and said, "Who are you trying to fool? I've already told you the words, so you can make up whatever you want."
Jiang Yunzheng poked Qi Yunshen's wound and said word by word:
"Besides the face, the clothes are the ones you always wear, the hair crown is the same, and even the tone of voice is the same. Also, the Second Young Master died young because of a high fever that was not treated in time. Qi Yunshen, if you want to lie, you should find a better excuse."
After saying this, Jiang Yunzheng was angry and anxious, struggling in Qi Yunshen's arms, and the gauze wrapped around her soon began to bleed.
Qi Yunshen stared at the lips opening and closing in front of him. Unable to bear it any longer, he lowered his head and grabbed Jiang Yunzheng's hands with his backhand.
Qi Yunshen's embrace was as solid as a wall of iron and steel, and Jiang Yunzheng couldn't shake it at all.
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes widened, her cheeks flushed red, and the last breath in her chest seemed to be about to be taken away by her stomach.
How could the person in front of me be seriously injured?
It's obviously a ferocious hungry wolf!
Qi Yunshen only moved away slightly when Jiang Yunzheng couldn't breathe.
"You believe me."
Jiang Yunzheng kept gasping for breath and slapped Qi Yunshen in the face.
"Qi Yunshen, you bastard!!"
Qi Yunshen didn't feel any pain on his face, he was resting his forehead against Jiang Yunzheng's.
It was rumored that Qi Yunpei, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, died young. The truth was not that he died of a high fever as rumored, but that he was abducted by spies from Western Xia.
Daliang and Xixia fought wars for decades.
Apart from the time when Qi Yunshen captured four cities of Western Xia in recent years, the most intense one was more than 20 years ago, when the Duke of Zhenguo took advantage of the snow disaster in Western Xia to break through the defense line. Western Xia was weak and unstoppable, and two important cities were captured by Daliang.
The Western Xia kidnapped Qi Yunpei as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Duke of Zhenguo. With his young son on the enemy side, the Duke of Zhenguo had to agree. However, the Western Xia people changed their minds and took Qi Yunpei back to the Western Xia royal court.
After Qi Yunpei arrived in Western Xia, he became the target of abuse and venting of anger by the Western Xia nobles. He was thrown into a wolf's den and grew up in an arena. The days of fighting with wild beasts quickly destroyed Qi Yunpei's original memory. He could not remember his identity and lost his humanity.
Qi Yunpei has martial arts skills to save his life, but he has lost the ability to perceive emotions.
Later, after Xiao Qinyu followed his father to flee to Western Xia, Xiao Qinyu looked at the face that looked exactly like Qi Yunshen and secretly snatched Qi Yunpei away.
Xiao Qinyu treated Qi Yunpei's injuries and taught him how to read and write. Qi Yunpei became a secret guard of Prince Gaoyang's palace.
To some extent, Xiao Qinyu was Qi Yunpei's savior, and Qi Yunpei also became Xiao Qinyu's lover.
It was not until more than four years ago that all nations came to pay tribute and Xiao Qinyu brought Qi Yunpei with him.
Xiao Qinyu was dissatisfied with the harmonious relationship between Qi Yunshen and Xu Jingyang, and she wanted to kill Xu Jingyang. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was more solid than the imperial palace, and Xiao Qinyu had no way to do anything. Finally, she waited until the eldest princess took Xu Jingyang to the temporary palace.
Xiao Qinyu knew that Princess Yu was jealous of Xu Jingyang and hated her to the core, so he used Princess Yu's name to sneak in with Qi Yunpei.
Xiao Qinyu dressed Qi Yunpei up as Qi Yunshen. As soon as he appeared in Xu Jingyang's courtyard, the secret guards guarding the courtyard naturally mistook him for Qi Yunshen.
Qi Yunpei mobilized all the secret guards and waited until Xu Jingyang finished giving birth, then killed her with a sword.
Qi Zhenzhen, who was sent to the next room to wash his body, luckily managed to survive.
At this moment, the secret guard who had been protecting Xu Jingyang noticed something was wrong. When he ran back to the yard, a fire had already broken out, and Xiao Qinyu was holding Qi Zhenzhen in his arms.
The secret guards used all their strength but only managed to recapture Qi Zhenzhen.
Qi Yunpei was seriously injured and fled with Xiao Qinyu.
The secret guards who also rushed back tracked them down and captured them.
By the time Qi Yunshen arrived at the palace, it was too late.
All that was left to him was Qi Zhenzhen, the premature baby.
