Mo Qingcheng

Chapter 57 Confrontation

One sentence suddenly awakened the people who were still in shock, Hua Moyi suddenly raised her head, and said anxiously: "Brother, Xiaoyi has never done it... Please believe me, the child in Brother Ran's womb is really not me..."

Hua Shijun flicked his wide sleeves, and a gust of cold wind forced into the cell and hit Hua Moyi's chest.The powerful demon power from the first prince of the Flower Demon Kingdom was so overwhelming that the Second Highness could not breathe for a long time.

Hua Shijun stared coldly: "I'm not interested in listening to your incoherent excuses. In three days, Bi Ran's health will improve, so I'll have someone escort you back to the palace." He turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and spoke with the hatred of brothers killing each other, " Go and explain it to your father and Qianqiu!!”

He was about to leave, but Lu Xiaonian, who was silent all the time, said urgently: "Your Majesty, please stay."

The sinister gaze swept over him, and when he treated this person outside the clan, his eyes did not have the slight warmth towards his own brothers and feet.

His Royal Highness frowned more and more, and said coldly: "You don't have to worry. Instigate the royal family, sow discord, cause disasters, and harm innocent people. Any one of them is enough for you to be executed hundreds of times, and you can wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to judge your crimes in peace! "

When Hua Moyi heard it, she immediately threw the blame on herself to the sky, and stood up to defend her shortcomings: "Brother, it has nothing to do with Lu Xiaonian! Don't implicate him, just drive him out of the country!"

"You still want to protect him at this time?" Hua Shijun was annoyed and hated, and sneered, "Okay, I will fulfill you, come, someone, bring the Second Highness out, and take twenty sticks first!! "

The head of the palace and the cell boss who was waiting on the side heard it, but no one dared to move.

Hua Shijun shouted: "I can't count what I said!?"

Master Fu was shocked, and quickly signaled the cell boss to open the cell door with his eyes.Tremblingly, the prison chief untied a large bunch of keys from his waist, and tremblingly put them in the keyhole.

Hua Moyi's face turned pale, but he stubbornly refused to bow his head to his elder brother, he just pursed his lips tightly and stared at Hua Shijun provocatively.

The jailer was holding on to the big key, and he couldn't open it after trying to put it on.Seeing Hua Moyi's unrepentant look, Hua Shijun became more and more angry, and shouted again: "What are you dawdling about!"

The cell boss finally got the correct cell door key, inserted the rusty key into the lock, and was about to twist and open the cell door when his arm was suddenly grabbed by a hand stretched out from the side.The jailer struggled, but couldn't break free.

Lu Xiaonian held onto the big and round prisoner's arm silently, he didn't seem to use much strength, but the prisoner struggled desperately under Hua Shijun's stern gaze, his arm was bruised and he couldn't recover It escaped from under the slender and white wrist of the latter.

"If you want to kill or cut, Lu Xiaonian will do as you please. But before that, doesn't His Highness want to know who is responsible for the broken rope beside the hanging bridge? This doubtful point has never been found out." Lu Xiaonian clutched the prisoner's arm , calmly said, "Your Highness, ask yourself, isn't there a moment when you doubted the Crown Princess?"

These words aroused the doubts that had floated in his heart, Hua Shijun's eyes grew colder, but he didn't answer his words.

"This border patrol was proposed by the eldest princess; the location and accompanying personnel were basically designated by the eldest princess alone. Did he say that the car should be light and easy, and the fewer attendants the better? After the child was dropped, did he say he didn't want to?" Go back to the palace, and still proceed according to the original itinerary?" Although he didn't see or hear it with his own eyes, but according to his guess, Bi Ran with a clear purpose would probably make such an arrangement.Seeing that although Hua Shijun didn't answer his words and Quan Zuo didn't hear him, but there was no sign of leaving, he knew that he should have expected it.

Lu Xiaonian went on to say: "The purpose of the princess's trip is so strong, if it is purely for the nostalgia of the place where she met His Royal Highness back then, the more people accompanying her, the more she will be able to witness the beauty of that encounter? I am not careful this time. Aborted, if he is not in a hurry, he can rest and recuperate, and there will be no delay if we go again in the future──Unless, the eldest princess is so aggressive, her plan is not just to 'go' there."

He used the word "accidental pregnancy", neither admitting that he and Hua Moyi were secretly framed, nor identifying Bi Ran as the instigator, so as not to irritate the suspicious Hua Shijun.

"...Speak clearly." Hua Shijun finally spoke with a calm face.

"In the Huajing Pavilion, I found a classic, which recorded an unknown unofficial history in strange words. There is reason to believe that this unofficial history is related to the eldest princess. I went to Yundu Palace that day to talk to the eldest prince. The concubine tried to prove it face to face, but was framed by his subordinates desperately..."

Hua Shijun laughed and interrupted him: "You mean, the black-clothed assassin who assassinated Xiaoyi was sent by Bi Ran? Why would he want to attack Xiaoyi?"

"I didn't say that the eldest princess sent someone to assassinate, but the man in black is indeed the eldest princess."

"Playing with mysteries." Hua Shijun couldn't listen anymore, Lu Xiaonian looked calm, looked at him calmly and without guilt just like Hua Moyi, and said the completely opposite version of Bi Ran, this kind of frank and upright speech and behavior, unexpectedly It is to make the future king inexplicably upset.

He didn't want to let the monk's hypothesis lead him by the nose anymore, even if it was right to calmly give the prisoner a chance to defend himself, he didn't want to listen any longer.

That person who offends the clean and unstained person in his heart will smash all the beauty he thought he had already, just like breaking the mirror flower of water and moon.

For such a short moment, Hua Shijun felt a bone-chilling silence, and there were countless voices shouting from the bottom of his heart, to stop him from letting Lu Xiaonian talk nonsense to him.

Lu Xiaonian was holding his arm and stuck in front of the prison door. Seeing that Hua Shijun seemed to have forgotten the order just issued to drag His Highness out for a beating, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.But Hua Shijun said: "Master Fu, how do your subordinates handle things? My palace's two simple instructions can actually delay this for more than half an hour. If you are obedient and obedient, or if you are not capable, you will be replaced early." It's over!"

The prison head's cold sweat broke out again, this time he struggled with all his strength, Lu Xiaonian finally let go of his hand.

However, the prison boss hadn't stood still yet, a strong suction rushed towards him, he stumbled and fell to the front of Lu Xiaonian's cell door involuntarily.At the same time, he raised his finger disobediently, and spontaneously went to find the key to open Lu Xiaonian's cell door.

The cultivator looked at Hua Shijun calmly and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to embarrass Mo Yi. If you can calm down temporarily, the twenty sticks will be the same for me."

"Very good." The sneer at the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped, "As you wish."

Hua Shijun walked away in resentment: "──Slap him forty times, and give me a hard blow!"

****************

Although Lu Xiaonian is not rough-skinned and thick-skinned, but for a martial arts practitioner, it is not a problem to carry a forty-strong imperial staff.

Besides, even though His Royal Highness uttered cruel words and wanted the executioner to beat him to death, His Second Highness over there stared at him, his two beautiful eyes almost meeting each other. The cold also made innocent jailers dare not really use ten kung fu.

As for the court rod, generally skilled executioners have a sense of proportion in their hands. Some cripple people without a trace of scars on the surface of the body, and some beat people so that their skin looks ripped apart but they don't suffer much internal injuries. It depends on their grasp.

For Lu Xiaonian, the [-]th board was a hit, but because of his strong physical skills and the fact that the jailer deliberately released the water under the threat of the Second Highness, in fact, it was nothing more than a green hand.

The four jailers carefully carried the cultivator back into the cell. They originally wanted to throw him on the ground like a sack, but they had to put him down even more carefully when they caught the eyes of the Second Highness next door who wanted to eat people.

Hua Moyi didn't close his eyes all night, and as soon as Lu Xiaonian was carried back, he couldn't wait to lie down on the wall.

"Lu Xiaonian..." The tension in his voice could not be concealed, "Is everything okay? Is it very painful? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Will it be infected?"

To be honest, at best, Lu Xiaonian felt the same as when he was playful when he was a child, when Lu Zishu pressed his knees and spanked his ass hard.Originally, he wanted to tell Hua Moyi the truth and tell that person not to worry about himself, but when he heard the uncontrollable tension and concern in that person's voice, he swallowed the comforting words on his lips.

He groaned maliciously, but didn't reply.

Hua Moyi couldn't see his details clearly, but only heard him moaning in misery, and the Second Highness's whole heart was agitated: "Hey, hey, little boy, don't die, cheer up... "

Dozens of court sticks are not enough to beat him to death.Lu Xiaonian slandered inwardly, but she refused to let go of this rare opportunity to tease people.

He replied in a weak voice: "It doesn't matter..."

"I can't hear what you're saying!" The Second Highness was so anxious that he wanted to pass through the wall, and when he gritted his teeth, the flower spirit appeared on his finger, and flew over the fences towards the cultivator, "You, if you want to say something, tell the flower spirit ,──If you want to call a doctor, I will call for you, Lu Xiaonian, don't hold back..."

It seems that being in a difficult situation is not a good time to play tricks on others, Lu Xiaonian silently condemned herself in her heart, but she still closed her eyes and pretended to be dead when she saw the flower spirit flying around her.

Hua Moyi called him a few times, but Lu Xiaonian didn't respond, and the flower demon blamed herself again and again: "I shouldn't let you be tortured for me, I should have thought that they wouldn't show mercy to you!"

The cultivator closed his eyes and listened to Hua Moyi's confession with his ears pricked up.

The pure-hearted flower demon is undoubtedly deceitful, and the flower spirit circled around Lu Xiaonian for many times, but couldn't wake up the "comatose" person, Hua Moyi couldn't help but start to reveal her heart anxiously: "It's all my fault, I'm too selfish , I don't want to... don't want to show my body in front of other people..."

He regretted to death: "Who made me die like this to save face, who made me suddenly so shy, that's why I hurt you..."

Lu Xiaonian said leisurely: "──If you refuse to show your body to other people, then who is not 'other people'──?"

Hua Moyi sadly continued: "Of course it's Lu──"

With a sound of "噗嗤", the cultivator couldn't hold his palm any longer, and laughed softly while lying on the ground.

The flower spirit faithfully passed back the image of the cultivator pretending to be dead, Hua Moyi was taken aback, and immediately jumped up, Lu Xiaonian could hear the flower demon beating like a thunder at the other end: "Lu, you──!!!"

Lu Xiaonian turned around and got up, held back a smile and leaned against the wall: "I have received these forty sticks for you, just for a few words of truth, what's wrong?"

"My son didn't finish talking just now, so of course I can't show it to anyone!"

The cultivator teased him: "If I were beaten to death by them, would you shed a few tears?"

"What nonsense, I will not allow this kind of thing to happen."

Realizing that she had been deceived again, Hua Moyi angrily took back the flower spirit.

He wanted to turn his head and go to sleep, and was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xiaonian, but the man was close to the wall, breathing lightly.After all, Hua Moyi was still thinking about the injury on his body. She didn't see it with her own eyes. Who knows if this monk is trying to be stubborn again, just like the last time he was injured, pretending to be indifferent.

While the Second Highness hated his indecision to death, he asked resentfully: "You... To be honest, is the injury serious?"

Lu Xiaonian smiled, softened his tone, and answered him seriously this time: "They have kept their hands back."

Hua Moyi finally felt relieved, and murmured: "Brother is really cruel, he has never been willing to move a finger of mine, this time he is so indiscriminate, he wants to beat me up first-- "

"Because His Highness is in a state of disarray, he has been shaken."

Hua Moyi suddenly let out a startled cry, thinking of a very important matter: "Lu Xiaonian, tell me, why didn't we point out that brother Ran has a map of landscapes and roads on him? If you point it out to elder brother, all doubts will be solved..."

Lu Xiaonian frowned, he was aware of this just now, but chose to keep silent.

"Previously, Bi Ran said that he was unable to hide the road view pattern on his skin because of his limited physical ability due to pregnancy; this time he broke the boat and dropped the child, so it is not confirmed whether he can hide the secret of his body again." If this key piece of evidence is brought forward, and the scene happens to be unable to be grasped, the doubts between him and Hua Moyi will only increase, and they will not be able to clear up even after jumping into the Yellow River.

It's better to keep this unknown factor for the time being, and wait until you can confirm it with your own eyes, or at a better time, and then reveal it.

The flower demon was right when she thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

His stomach growled untimely again. From yesterday afternoon to the dawn of the sky, he was always in a state of high nervousness and did not eat.

Lu Xiaonian handed over the white flour buns again.

Hua Moyi: "...my son said I will eat it for you, so I will eat it for you."

My stomach grumbled again and let out a cry.

Lu Xiaonian suppressed a smile: "I really don't need it. If you start with bigu, you'd better stick to it, or your previous efforts will be wasted. Since you are hungry, why should you be polite to me?"

His Royal Highness tried his best to suppress the hunger in his stomach: "No, I have implicated you in prison and made you punished, how can I let you go to sleep on an empty stomach again──"

Lu Xiaonian lowered her voice, said with a smile, "Who said I'm going to sleep? I'll sneak out after a while."
