dead in winter

==============

When Wen Shu woke up, it was already ten days later

There was no one in the dark hall, Wen Shu opened his eyes, his whole body was limp and weak, he couldn't help coughing a few times in a low voice, blood ran down the corners of his lips, Wen Shu couldn't help frowning, the blood on his wrist The bandage was untied, and it was hanging limply to the side. Wen Shu tried hard, but he didn't lift it up, so he gave up

He opened his eyes and looked at the top of his head. After a while, the door creaked, and a figure slowly walked away. The veil was lifted by a big pale and thin hand. This scene seemed familiar, Wen Shu thought, looking back

A Yinzhe pale face appeared in the field of vision, Wen Renling chuckled softly, "Sure enough, the beauty with open eyes is the most beautiful."

Wen Shu took a look at him, and obviously guessed who it was, he propped himself up and reluctantly saluted, "Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness King Jing, I wonder why His Highness King Jing kidnapped a commoner Wen to come here?"

Wen Renling couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw his calm expression and relaxed manner, and then smiled and said, "Ahem, what do you think?"

Wen Shu blinked. In the dim environment, only Wen Renling's white boots could be seen. He couldn't help but calmly said, "Caomin don't know."

"Those who don't know are fearless, but those who know are guilty." Wen Renling squinted his eyes, "Xie Baiyi is very lucky, but I was also fooled by you, and I didn't know it until I died. It's a pity, but this king is very happy." Lianxiang Xiyu, if you are willing to take the initiative to confess, this king will spare your life, how about it?"

Wen Shu was silent, and it took a long time before he sneered, "What does His Royal Highness King Jing want me to explain?"

Seeing that Wen Shu no longer called himself 'Caomin' but instead called himself 'I', Wen Renling frowned, with a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, he stepped forward impatiently and clamped his jaw, lowered his head against his face and said, "What are you going to tell me?" ? Your lover is dead, what do you think this king asked you to explain?"

Wen Shu didn't speak, Wen Renling raised his hand to hold the mole at the corner of his eye and rubbed it vigorously for a few times until it turned red, and sneered, "I'm not a coward." Wen Renling let go of Wen Shu, took out a handkerchief and wiped it off. After wiping my hands, I fell to the ground and stomped on my feet and got crushed.

Wen Shu was pushed back by him, knocked his head on the edge of the bed and let out a low cry, with a painful expression on his face, Wen Renling sat back on the seat, and continued lazily saying, "If you weren't so stubborn, this king wouldn't bother to use threatening words." Way, after all, do you want your pariah mother to be decapitated or confess everything you know? I let you choose. If you don’t tell me, your mother won’t feel better either.”

It seems that he knows something, Wen Shu thought.

"... let my mother go, I said" After a long time, Wen Shu clenched his fists and said with a dejected expression

"Oh, that's right"

...

After Wen Renling left, Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, looking in the direction Wen Renling left, slowly showing a deep smile

----------

"You bastard, I've raised you for so many years, I can't even look down on a woman." Ji Yan smashed the teacup in her hand, and slapped the table angrily. The room was silent. Guan Yali bowed his head and remained silent. His face was paler than before, and the wound on his back was throbbing with pain, making his face sweat continuously. His face was still calm, but his clenched fists revealed his emotions.

"Now it is certain that His Highness must have been taken away by King Jing's people, otherwise His Highness' mother would not have been taken away yesterday..." An elder analyzed clearly, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart. On which day will Wen Shu go out secretly?

"Hmph, Guan Yali, don't you have anything to say?" Ji Yan glanced sideways at Guan Yali who was standing beside her, with a gloomy expression. What do you think?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, that day, His Highness suddenly asked his subordinate to accompany him to Bichun Pavilion, and then suddenly drugged his subordinate, and three days had passed since his subordinate woke up... This... His Highness never revealed anything about it. ..." Guan Yali said on his knees. In fact, he had already vaguely guessed what Wen Shu wanted to do, but Guan Yali didn't dare to make a judgment, because the risk was too great. Once it started, there must be no mistakes.

"Heh, you are so loyal. There is hardly any splash in the [-] big boards. It's okay. If it doesn't work, just throw it away. Release the axe. Our plan can't be delayed any longer. After five days, we will start to implement it!" Ji Yan stared at Guan Yali with sharp eyes, and smiled inexplicably. Guan Yali suddenly sighed, she couldn't do anything to avoid this old fox.

After Guan Yali walked out of the room, he looked at the dark sky, the wind gently blew his black robe, Guan Yali frowned, turned and went to the backyard

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent, let the young master be kidnapped by King Jing's people, and now even the madam..." Guan Yali knelt down

"Cough, cough, Ji Yan's actions are really vicious, and she is embarrassing that child, I didn't know..." Yin Liuyue sat up from the bed with a complicated expression, and said palely, "Yan'er is fine, I have sent my confidant to follow, I have a handle, Wen Renling didn't dare to take anything against Shu'er, but the less people know about it, the better..." Yin Liuyue said in a low voice

The voice gradually became low, Guan Yali listened with his head turned, nodded again and again

...

"Is it true that Xie Baiyi is dead?" Queen Jing said tenderly while snuggling into the arms of a face.

"It's absolutely true, Queen, this is a golden opportunity. Taking advantage of His Majesty's serious illness, and uniting with the Huns to capture the imperial city in one fell swoop, the world will belong to you and His Royal Highness King Jing. At that time, you will be the Queen Mother. Do you want anything?" ?” The man flattered

"Hahaha, very good, Xu Jingcheng, you are really good at talking, but I am very happy, that's all! Whether it's about today's affairs, or you persuade me to send people to take the commoner captive, I will not pursue it at all. Now, if you take good care of me, I will let my son go out tomorrow, how about it?"

Queen Jing raised her hand and giggled non-stop, stretched out her jade-like feet, and hooked her feet towards the people who bowed their heads under the stage. Xu Jingcheng raised his head and grabbed Queen Jing's feet lightly. Press lightly

During the movement, the behavior gradually became unrestrained, and soon, the palace people slowly retreated, and there were extremely enchanting and charming shouts in the hall... It lasted for a long time

...

When Wen Shu could barely get out of bed, it was almost spring. He couldn't help feeling how time flies. He thought that he might not even be able to survive this winter. He didn't expect that there were thousand-year-old ginseng in the palace. Wang used it to forcefully extend Wen Shu's life, so that Wen Shu could live on for a long time...

There was breakfast on the table. Wen Shu didn't like to be served, and there were no maids around to serve him. He picked up the bowl in his hand, felt the bottom slightly bulge with his fingers, and continued to drink the porridge calmly. With a little force, the note slipped down the wrist and into the wide sleeve

After the maidservant finished tidying up and left, Wen Shu took out the note and unfolded it.

"The plan failed, the informant has been robbed and killed on the road, Wen Shuojing is missing, King Jing suspects you, run away!" Wen Shu frowned, stroked back and forth on Wen Shuojing's missing handwriting several times. I didn't pay attention to the following words. Actually, it's useless to notice. Wen Shu has come to this point and there is no way out. After all, he came here with the determination to die.

Rather Stick to your guns…

It's just...Wen Shuojing is missing?Wen Shu couldn't help feeling a little annoyed

Yanzhou

border city

"How dare you lie to me, that's really cool hahahahaha" Wen Renling crushed the broken arrow in his hand, sneered, and turned to look at the location of Yanzhou King City with a gloomy expression

"His Royal Highness King Jing, what should we do? This..." The general at the head looked at the situation and couldn't help but fear. They were surrounded, and their army was surrounded by densely packed Jin army regiments. At this time, the crowd parted, A tall man walked in from the periphery. He had a cold face and a firm expression, and he said loudly, "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, King Xuanjing will come to Beijing to see you!"

Wen Renling's clothes in his armor were already wet with sweat, seeing the generals around him slowly backing away, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Forgive me for refusing."

"His Royal Highness King Jing, do you want to resist the order?" Qu Hongqi frowned, and ordered his soldiers to retreat

A month ago, after interrogating Xu Tuo, he learned of the old headquarters of the remaining party of the previous dynasty. Wen Renjing immediately ordered Qu Hongqi to be named General Zhenyuan, and asked him to go to Yanzhou to find out. If Wen Renling showed any signs of resistance, Then it is judged that Wen Renling colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he can be judged as a traitor and traitor, and should be punished!

Right now, Qu Hongqi has already believed half of it. King Jing, who refused to let them enter the city at the gate of Daguan, was really tricky. With collusion, a hundred deaths are not enough!

"Forgive me, General Qu. Your Majesty called me to go to the capital. There must be a reason. Besides, Yanzhou is a fiefdom of the king. Since ancient times, princes in the fiefdom are not allowed to return to the capital. This is a decree promulgated by the late emperor when he was alive. Now General Qu is not allowed to return to the capital." For various reasons, it is impossible for me to go," Wen Renling said.

"The reason? His Royal Highness King Jing, are you joking? In the whole world, could it be that the king's land, the king's ministers and ministers have to die, and when you go to Beijing, you can argue with your majesty!" Qu Hongqi said impatiently, waving his hand , ordered the complete annihilation of Wen Renling's remaining party, and the capture of Wen Renling alive

Seeing this, Wen Renling couldn't help but have a grim expression, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

Wen Shu told him that day that there were remnants of the previous dynasty in Yunzhou, and they wanted to take advantage of Wen Renling's rebellion to ambush in Yunzhou, take the opportunity to annex Wen Renling's army, and then use Wen Renling's banner to attack Go to Beijing, and then smoothly change the dynasty

"Why should I trust you?" Wen Renling asked suspiciously.

"Believe it or not, you can't help me, I just explained everything I know." Wen Shu didn't care

"The previous dynasty? You mean the Ji family?" Wen Renling thought for a moment, "Where is the old department?"

"It's right in front of your eyes," Wen Shu said with a smile

Wen Renling's eyes widened, and a trace of surprise flashed across Yin Zhe's face, "Where's the evidence?"

"Before the age of 13, I was a country boy who didn't know a single word. After the age of 13, I was the illegitimate child of Wen Lian's outer room. At the age of 15, I was exiled in the Northern Wilderness. I lived in the Northern Wilderness for five years. Recognize, is this the same as what His Royal Highness King Jing secretly investigated?" Wen Shu said

Wen Renling remained silent, staring at Wen Shu with dark eyes.

Wen Shu continued, "Actually, it's not true. During the period from the age of three to 13, I was secretly raised by the Ji family. Even my mother, Wen Yan, didn't know about it. Unfortunately, I naively thought that they were really sent by my father to teach me. Who knows that the Ji family is taking me as the next puppet highness

At the age of 13, following her mother's defection to Wen Lian, all of this was within Ji's plan, including the five-year exile in the Northern Wilderness, which was also under Ji's control. The only miscalculation in Ji Yan's life was when Yin Liuyue met Wen Lian Yan, this also made Yin Liuyue really want to get out of control

And I also met my biological father. Before that, I never thought that I would see him one day. I always thought that it was the same as what Ji Yan said, that my biological father was dead, and all he confessed was to let me obey orders."

Wen Shu turned his head slightly, and said to Wen Renling, "Yin Liuyue also has a name 'Ji Qianjue'. To Ji Yan, Ji Qianjue is the one who truly inherits the great line, and I am just a pawn."

Wen Renling said, "Do you think this king will believe your nonsense?" In fact, countless thoughts flashed through Wen Renling's mind. He didn't even notice that the old army of the previous dynasty had been in Yanzhou for so long. Tuo occasionally looked at himself with a hint of pity, and Wen Renling panicked subconsciously.

"It doesn't matter what your Highness thinks, but please spare your mother's life," Wen Shu said
