Lady Jiao - Chapter 13

At this time, Su Zhou still couldn’t find anyone, and Su Zhou was already very anxious.

In the Lushan area, he privately brought three elites to search and inquire. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain mentioned by the pawnshop owner, he found that the surrounding seven mountains were surrounded by formations. , There are thousands of roads up the mountain, if you enter casually, you may be trapped in it. Su Zhou only brought a small number of people to the Chu land. His actions a while ago may have alarmed the King of Chu. If he casually finds a sorcerer to break the King of Chu’s formation, if he fails, the friendship between the two countries will be affected.

The Lushan area is where the tomb of the founding emperor of Beiyuan Kingdom is located, so Su Zhou can’t act rashly.

This time, Su Zhou couldn’t hold his breath anymore.

This time I came to see the King of Chu, it was a compromise with the King of Chu, after the matter…

No one who knows about this can stay.

Su Zhou paced around the north study for a long time. Su Huan wanted to follow, but he refused. After all, Su Huan is a child, not calm enough, although smart, his mind is not as good as that of an adult.

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Zhou heard a voice from outside. It should be that the King of Chu had arrived. He stopped, sat down calmly, and took a sip of tea.

Pei Jiu walked in and smiled faintly, “General Su has been waiting for a long time.”

Su Zhou was dressed in a simple white dress with narrow sleeves, his black hair was tied high into a ponytail, his face was handsome yet heroic, his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, his lips were slightly curled up, and he said in a gentle tone: “His Royal Highness Chu has a lot of things to do every day, and I am here in Nanqiu It’s the same at times, it’s natural to understand.”

He opened a long carved sandalwood box on the desk case, which contained a scroll of calligraphy and painting.

Su Zhou slowly restrained his smile, got up and cupped his hands to Pei Jiu, said: “King Chu, I lied to you a while ago, now I want to apologize to you.”

Pei Jiu pretended not to understand, and gave Su Zhou a little help: “I don’t know what General Su means—”

Su Zhou said: “The lost person is not my cousin, but Nanqiu’s concubine, Yun’an Princess Yuan Fei. I have a close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince’s concubine is as precious as a pearl, and Yuan Fei Missing, the crown prince is anxious, and I dare not speak out about it. First, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the vacancy and play tricks on this matter. Second, Yuan Fei will marry into the royal family in the future. stain.”

Pei Jiu said: “I can understand, General Su, if you provide some clues, I will send someone to search for you today.”

Su Zhou took out the portrait from the sandalwood box and unfolded it lightly: “King Chu, please have a look.”

The woman in the painting is only wearing plain clothes, sitting by the water, her posture is careless, her brows are a bit cold, but it is undeniable that the woman has black eyebrows, autumn eyes, and jade-like complexion, which is rare. The alluring beauty.

Pei Jiu just glanced at it, then said in surprise: “It’s her!”

Su Zhou’s face suddenly changed: “The king of Chu has seen it?”

“Not long ago, the king rescued a woman under the guard of Lushan Mountain. The woman was beautiful and kind-hearted, and she pawned jewelry as a thank-you gift to my men. Unfortunately, the woman was poisoned and miserable. In the middle of the night He cut his throat and committed suicide, and his subordinates were sent to the king to seek medical treatment.” Pei Jiu said, “Unfortunately, it’s too late, the girl’s body is still in the backyard and hasn’t been buried yet, can General Su confirm it?”

Su Zhou’s face was already a little pale, and he said, “I’ll follow your highness down here to have a look.”

When walking out of the threshold, Su Zhou staggered and almost fell out.

Pei Jiu’s expression darkened.

Su Zhou tried his best to steady himself, he smiled at Pei Jiu, this smile was not sincere, it seemed a bit cold and arrogant: “If it is really the prospective princess, His Royal Highness will know… I am afraid I will kill you Yes. King Chu, I’m sorry, I’ve lost my dignity.”

In Pei Jiu’s mind, there was already a love triangle drama playing out, but he didn’t show it on his face, he just said: “General Su is a talented man, and the crown prince of your country will not punish you because of a woman, don’t Too worried.”

The scenery of Prince Chu’s Mansion is extremely beautiful, but Su Zhou has no leisure time to appreciate it.

He hurriedly followed Pei Jiu to a quiet courtyard, Su Zhou pushed the door open, and several little girls who were watering the courtyard raised their heads, “Your Highness!”

Pei Jiu said: “Go and open the door, General Su wants to see the girl’s body.”

The little girl nodded.

Su Zhou followed Pei Jiu into the door.

The room was cold and empty, but it was cleaned very clean.

A coffin was placed in the middle, and ice cubes were piled around the coffin.

Pei Jiu said: “This girl seems to be from an extraordinary background, and this king also wants to find the girl’s family and bring her body back, who knows you…”

Su Zhou’s face was slightly pale, he looked at the coffin quietly, for a long time, Su Zhou said: “Please push the king of Chu away, I…”

Pei Jiu raised his eyebrows.

After hesitating for a while, Su Zhou pushed open the coffin door with his own hands.

Inside the coffin was a plain white face, with cold brows, long eyelashes like feathers, and lips that had lost their color.

The clothes had already been changed, and he was simply dressed in white. At first, Su Zhou couldn’t believe it, but when he saw the corpse, he couldn’t help but believe it.

Pei Jiu had no reason to lie to him.

Su Zhou rolled his Adam’s apple twice, and slowly stroked the face of the corpse in the coffin with his slender fingers. With his fingers down, he gently opened the collar, and he really saw a distinct wound.

She killed herself.

Su Zhou made a mistake and exerted strength with his hands, and the corpse below fell into his arms immediately.

Pei Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly: “General Su, what are you going to do?”

Su Zhou’s voice dropped a lot, as if he was choked, his eyes were red: “I’ll take her home.”

Pei Jiu didn’t like Su Zhou hugging the corpse very much.

Even if it was a fake Ning’er, he still didn’t like Su Zhou’s touch like this.

Pei Jiu said: “Nanqiu and Beiyuan are thousands of miles away, General Su brought a corpse back, isn’t he afraid of rotting on the way?”

Su Zhou said: “I have my own way to take it away, King Chu, I will trouble you during this time.”

Pei Jiu said coldly: “Please do what you want.”

Su Zhou picked up the corpse in the coffin and left Chu Palace.

Pei Jiu looked at Su Zhou’s figure, many years ago, Pei Jiu had seen Su Zhou’s look in other people’s eyes similar to today’s.

It was the old daughter of Pei Jiu’s elder brother, who regarded the princess as the jewel in his palm, and her title was also the Pearl. Princess Mingzhu died of smallpox when she was three years old. Emperor Tianqi hugged the dead Princess Beibei and was heartbroken. Emperor Tianqi looked at the princess’s face The eyes were almost exactly the same as Su Zhou’s eyes when he looked at the corpse.

It was as if a flower had been carefully planted, but when it bloomed, it was destroyed by wind and rain. It seems that the treasure held in the palm of the hand and in the mouth fell to pieces overnight, and years of hard work were paid off.

No matter what, no matter what Ning’er’s past feelings were, Pei Jiu cut them off for her.

As early as the day when he knew that Ning’er was the princess of Yun’an, Pei Jiu had already set up this situation. It is not easy to make a living person disguised as a person forever, but it is extremely simple to make a dead person disguised as someone else.

Ning’er’s life will be his Pei Jiu’s from now on.
