[Donggong colleagues] Unforgettable
Chapter 16 Bloodstained
It took Li Chengyin more than 20 days to go to the west.
The news that came back was not bad. He and Pei Zhao led the army and rushed all the way to Shuobo's lair. They not only repelled the enemy army in Xizhou, but also injured a lot of Shuobo's troops.
I knew he could.
In the past few days, all the good news came, and the big rock in my heart fell a little bit.
Father also sends a message, saying that Xizhou is out of danger, and now he is joining forces with Li Chao to deal with Shuobo.
That's good, that's good.
Yong Niang was very worried about me, she said, Crown Princess, you are heavy now, so don't worry about it, His Royal Highness will definitely come back safely.
I don't know much about the battlefield, but in September, the news came that Li Chengyin and the others were coming back.
I heard that in the last Shuobo battle, Shuobo King was beheaded by Li Chengyin, Gao Xian disappeared.Shuobo's remaining troops were wiped out by Li Chao.Since then, master and doctoral studies are over.
After more than 20 days, I was finally able to sleep peacefully.
But this time when I woke up, something was wrong.
I blinked and looked around.
where is this?
Surrounded by walls made of big stones, it was dusty. My hands and feet were tied, and a cloth was stuffed in my mouth.
I suddenly remembered the black shadow that flashed before my eyes before I fell asleep.
Under the moonlight, Gao Xian's face was pale.
Gao Xian!
He actually broke into the East Palace!
I twisted my body desperately, but I didn't have anything in hand, so I couldn't cut the rope.
But I moved and saw a person lying beside me.
A'Du was also tied to the side by Wuhuada, her face was pale, there was blood on her chest, and her lips were also bright red.
I faltered and called her, only made a humming sound.
A'Du's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.
She must have discovered that Gao Xian wanted to rescue me, but she was also caught here.
Silly A'Du!
A'Du sat up with difficulty, and then looked around. She twisted her body vigorously, and then broke the rope with a snap.
A'Du gestured to me and said that Gao Xian led a group of people into the Eastern Palace in the dark, lit incense in the room, and took me away.She couldn't beat them alone, and she was also knocked out and arrested.
I gritted my teeth and scolded Gao Xian's eighteenth generation ancestors in my heart. Everyone said that the winner is the king and the loser, but he is too despicable!
The little thing in my belly seemed to sense my anger, and kicked me in agreement.
A'Du fumbled around the room for a long time, then shook his head at me.
You bastard, what the hell is he going to do with me!
The iron door suddenly opened, and a beam of light shot in.A'Du immediately rushed in front of me and blocked me.
"It's useless. If I want to kill her, it's up to you? Can you stop me?" Gao Xian stood at the door and said calmly.
There were many bloodstains on his face, and his tone was cold, with a strange sense of contempt.
"What are you arresting me for?" I looked at him coldly.
Gao Xian lowered his head and smiled, his eyes looked at me like a wolf, extremely fierce,
"Do you need to ask? Li Chengyin ruined me, and I will also ruin his most precious thing."
"You're wrong." I laughed at him, "I'm not Li Chengyin's most precious person, his precious one is Zhao Sesel. He treats me well only because I have his child. I'm not that important at all. "
"Really?" Gao Xian raised his tone, "Li Chengyin doesn't care about you, why does he risk his life to save you again and again, he doesn't care about you, why would he rather turn against His Majesty to protect you, he doesn't care about you, why should I give you a hand Is it going to be a mess if you take him away?" Gao Xian looked at me as if he was watching a show, "Ninth Princess, oh no, Crown Princess, you must have thought your husband was too cold."
"Nothing to say?" Gao Xian's laughter was particularly creepy in this room, "Then it's my turn now." He walked towards me step by step, as if the god of death had come,
"Princess Concubine, tell me, if I kill Li Chengyin in front of you and your child, how painful it would be for him!"
"Who made it, he did the same to my family!"
A'Du and I huddled in the corner, holding each other's hands vigorously.Gao Xian made it clear that he wanted my life, if he didn't do anything now, he was waiting for Li Chengyin to come.
I can't let him get away with it.
The baby in my stomach kicked me again.
You little thing, you are so jubilant when your life is almost dead!I leaned tiredly on A'Du's shoulder, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable all over.
Suddenly there were a few blunt noises outside, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground, and then the door was pushed open.
Gu Jian charged in with a bloody aura. He was rarely seen in a low-key black suit, and a long sword gleamed coldly in his hand.
"Xiaofeng! A'Du!" He stepped forward and cut off the chains tied to our feet, then pulled us both up from the ground and said,
"Come with me!"
Gu Jian and A'Du held my hand tightly, and we ran out quickly.Only then did I realize that this was a high mansion that was sealed off a long time ago. No one has lived here for a long time since Prime Minister Gao was abolished.The whole mansion was gray and indescribably gloomy.
The people outside the secret room fell all over the ground, Gu Jian killed a bloody path alive.He looked around sharply with his eyes, and led us to run outside.
We ran to the middle of the yard, and there was a small door in front of us, and we could go out immediately.
Gu Jian stopped suddenly.
He straightened his back, looked at the front viciously, then stretched his hands slightly, blocking A'Du and me from behind.
I saw Gao Xian standing on the tower at the door looking at us condescendingly, like looking at three clowns.
"Gu Jian, you underestimate me." His voice was particularly frightening at night, "You have been my prey since you came in."
"Gao Xian. If you let her go, maybe there's still a way out." Gu Jian's voice was cold, and he squeezed my hand tightly.
"A way to survive?" Gao Xian laughed haha, but I saw that his face was clearly ferocious, "I don't have a way to survive!" He roared, "Li Chengyin destroyed my Gao family, my wife All his sons and daughters were killed by him! This hatred is irreconcilable! Since I came back, I never thought about going back alive! But, before I die..." He looked at me through Gu Jian with a faint gaze,
"I have to ask her to be buried with her."
As if at an order, a group of men in black rushed out from around them. Each of them had sharp knives in their hands, like pairs of eyes, shining in the dark night.
I was protected by Gu Jian and A'Du, and I ran outside in the shadow of swords and swords.
Gu Jian and A'Du teamed up are simply invincible in the world, they hold a sword in one hand and a knife in the other, easily preventing those people from taking half a step forward.
We just kept at each other, moving back bit by bit.
I suddenly heard the sound of thousands of troops and horses passing through outside, and the sound of horses' hoofs stepping on the bluestone slab, the momentum is majestic.
A voice in my heart told me that Li Chengyin is here.
Gao Xian's face suddenly became extremely ferocious. He yelled, come to me, and then jumped down from the tower with his knife.
Gu Jian and A'Du were separated by people who rushed up suddenly, Gu Jian stood in front, and A'Du protected me.I saw four or five people surrounding Gu Jian, I saw a lot of people rushing towards me and A'Du, I saw Gao Xian slashed down from the side with a knife, and the last thing I saw was that the side door was slammed Kicking away, a figure in golden armor broke in.
A'Du hugged me tightly and turned around vigorously.
I heard the sound of the knife cutting through flesh and blood, and I saw the expression on A'Du's face suddenly become painful, we spun in the air, and then fell hard to the ground.
A'Du was lying on top of me, and I touched the scalding liquid on her back.
"A'Du!" I yelled out sadly.
With a flash of the knife, Gao Xian slashed at us both again without stopping, I gritted my teeth, and rolled A'Du vigorously.I turned my back to Gao Xian, thinking that even if I die, I will die with A'Du.
There is no pain of separation of flesh and blood.
I turned my head slowly, Gao Xian was standing behind me, his expression was dull, his eyes were wide open.
A long sword pierced his body, blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the knife raised in his hand fell to the ground. Then, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of me with a plop.
A golden figure emerged from behind.
Li Cheng Yin was wearing golden armor, his long and narrow eyes were like a pool of black water, cold and chilling.He probably just came back, with blood on his cheeks, and the hostility from the battlefield has not faded from his body.
He stabbed Gao Xian right through.
He kicked Gao Xian away, then quickly leaned over and hugged me,
"Xiaofeng!" His voice was panicked and anxious, his eyes carefully surveyed every inch of my body, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm back!"
As soon as I saw Li Cheng Yin tears flowed down my face, I grabbed his hand, my voice was shaking non-stop,
"Li Chengyin... Li Chengyin, you are back!" I cried and trembled, "Hurry up and save A'Du!"
Gu Jian rushed over, he knelt down beside me, then helped A'Du up,
"A'Du! A'Du!" he yelled.
"Gu Jian...Gu Jian, save A'Du!" I grabbed him carelessly, then looked at Li Chengyin, crying like a helpless child,
"Hurry up and save A'Du..."
Gu Jian gritted his teeth, picked up A'Du, and rushed out.Li Chengyin frowned, he said Xiaofeng, get up first.
He held me tightly with both hands and helped me up from the ground. I was stuck against him, trembling all over.
Will A'Du die, she has lost a lot of blood, will she not be able to wake up...
My lips were trembling, and I suddenly felt pain in my lower abdomen.
I bent down involuntarily, Li Chengyin looked at me in panic and said what's wrong with you!
"It hurts..." I frowned and squatted down, "It hurts..."
He was so anxious that the veins on his forehead popped up,
"Where does it hurt!"
This idiot!
But I just shook my head, I couldn't say a word.
Li Chengyin hugged me horizontally, and then yelled at Pei Zhao!Pass the imperial physician!
I curled up on the bed, bent into a shrimp in pain.
I thought the pain would pass soon, but I didn't expect it to come in wave after wave. The pain made me feel so helpless that I almost cried.
Li Chengyin knelt beside the bed, his brows were furrowed, he held my hand tightly, and kept calling Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng.
My back was sore, my lower abdomen was swollen, and my whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
"Li Chengyin, it hurts..." I twisted my face into a ball, "It hurts to death..."
Li Chengyin's face was also pale, he pursed his lips tightly, his trembling hands helped me wipe the sweat off my forehead.
The Imperial Physician was almost thrown in by Pei Zhao by the collar, he slumped on the ground, and before he even had time to say hello to Li Cheng Yin, he was caught by him.
"Quick! What's wrong with the princess!"
The imperial doctor took up his hand tremblingly, touched it for a while and said,
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess has moved her fetus, and I am afraid she is about to give birth."
I looked at Li Chengyin in panic, Li Chengyin looked at the imperial physician in panic, the imperial physician looked at me in panic, Pei Zhao looked at the three of us in panic.
The tide of pain hit again, and I curled up even tighter with an oh.
There was a lot of noise outside, Yong Niang rushed in with a group of nuns, she said His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess is about to give birth, please go out first.
Li Chengyin looked at me, gritted his teeth and said no.
Yong Niang was in a hurry, she said that His Royal Highness is not in compliance with the rules!
I let go of Li Chengyin's hand, I said you go out.
Li Chengyin was as stubborn as a child, he said I wouldn't go out!
You man!I wanted to talk about him, but when I opened my mouth, I let out a painful cry, which made me gasp in pain.
Li Chengyin's face turned pale with fright, he stammered and said Xiaofeng, are you okay!
nonsense!Does this seem okay!
Pei Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Cheng Yin and dragged him to run outside, Li Cheng Yin was dragged by Pei Zhao a step, looked back at me three times, and then shouted,
"Xiao Xiaofeng! I'm just outside! I'm not going anywhere!"
I took a breath, I really didn't have the time to impress him, Yong Niang wiped my sweat with distress, and said, Crown Princess, you have to hold on.
Hold on?
Whether I can stand it or not, I have to stand it!
"Yong Niang..." I looked at her out of breath and said, "How is A'Du?"
"The imperial doctor is currently treating Miss A'Du, Crown Princess, you'd better not think about these things, you and the child are important!"
I can't think about it, that's A'Du, that's my A'Du!
But in the next second, I heard a woman's terrified voice, and a nun touched my stomach, and then exclaimed,
"Oops! The crown princess' fetal position is not right!"
The news that came back was not bad. He and Pei Zhao led the army and rushed all the way to Shuobo's lair. They not only repelled the enemy army in Xizhou, but also injured a lot of Shuobo's troops.
I knew he could.
