After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 266 Chapter 266
The sky did not know when it started, and it began to snow again.

The swirling snow cannot penetrate the dense forest, but the wind passing through the forest is bitingly cold.

Wang Baoqin was already a little feverish, her body was weak, and she had stretched her body to the limit after walking all this way, plus she was so surprised by Shen Qingci's identity as Sheng Tingjing, now she was getting more and more dizzy, and she couldn't even stand up. .

Shen Qingci glanced at Ting Lan who was standing respectfully beside her: "Help her to rest in the carriage."

Since she couldn't escape, she wouldn't be polite to Sheng Tingzhao.

Ting Lan first glanced at Sheng Tingzhao, seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, then took Wang Baoqin from Shen Qingci.

Seeing this, Sheng Tingzhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law San is not afraid that I will be unhappy, so she will kill her directly?"

When he said this, although he was still smiling, his tone did not seem to be joking.

That understatement, like a human life, is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Hearing this, Shen Qingci also laughed: "If you really wanted to kill her, you wouldn't try your best to bring her here."

Someone brought a low stool for Sheng Tingzhao. Shen Qingci was not polite at all, and sat on it directly. Looking into Sheng Tingzhao's smiling eyes, she said in a cold tone, "At least, you won't kill us until Sheng Tingye dies."

Lin Fu's previous sentence - to take the two of them together is a good explanation.

Sheng Tingjing didn't know her identity as Jiang Yuwan, and maybe she didn't know the bond between her and Lin Yunzheng, but in his opinion, Lin Yunzheng would not sit idly by and ignore Jiang Yuwan's cousin's safety.

She and Wang Baoqin, one was used to threaten Lin Yunzheng, and the other was used to manipulate Sheng Tingye.

Ting Lan sent Wang Baoqin to the carriage, and brought a small table, a low stool, and the tea stove and other utensils on the small table from the carriage.

Sheng Tingzhao sat down opposite Shen Qingci, and he personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingci and himself.

Holding a teacup and smoking tea, Sheng Tingzhao looked at Shen Qingci, with a slight smile in his tone: "What did the third sister-in-law say? Even if the third brother had an accident, I would not let the third sister-in-law have trouble."

It was freezing cold outside, and Shen Qingci's hands and feet were numb and stiff from the cold.

She held Sheng Tingzhao's tea in her hand as if she was a soup lady, and met Sheng Tingzhao's smiling eyes, she said coldly: "Then I will thank His Highness Fifth for not killing me here first."

There was a thick layer of snow on the trees in the forest, and some branches could not bear it. From time to time, there was the sound of falling snow all around, which was in line with the constant gurgling sound of the hot steam from the tea stove on the small table in front of you. echo.

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingzhao didn't speak any more, it looked like a beautiful and leisurely picture of cooking tea around the stove.

Only the people here at this moment, there is no one who is not holding a heart.

Time passed little by little.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye in the past, but it is extremely difficult to bear now.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I finally heard the faint sound of horseshoes coming from the opposite valley.

The smile on Sheng Tingzhao's face faded a bit, he squeezed the teacup, and looked at Shen Qingci: "Sister-in-law three is calm and composed, do you think my third brother can come back alive?"

Shen Qingci paused while holding the tea cup, she said without thinking: "Yes."

As if hearing a big joke, Sheng Tingzhao burst out laughing, with an undisguised mockery in his eyes, "Then you must have underestimated me."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and asked back without the slightest politeness: "Aren't you also not confident?"

Obviously, he has made careful arrangements, and he is the fisherman who will benefit in the end.

But he was still not confident enough, that's why he had to think of holding Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin in order to add a layer of security to his plan.

Shen Qingci saw it early on.

Sheng Tingzhao seemed arrogant and reckless, but in fact, when facing Sheng Tingye who was stronger than him in every way, he felt inferior and unwilling almost subconsciously.

That's why he had to confront Sheng Tingye everywhere openly and secretly, trying to rob him of everything and take it as his own to prove himself.

Such a mentality is naive and despicable.

This is Sheng Tingzhao's deepest secret.

He never thought that Shen Qingci would expose it mercilessly in person, and at the end of hearing it, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

He looked at Shen Qingci with gloomy eyes, "I'm not confident? Third sister-in-law may not know what my third brother's situation is now."

When Sheng Tingye was mentioned, Shen Qingci's eyes softened a little.

She narrowed her eyes, looked at the foam in the teacup, and said coldly, "I know."

"Lin Fu can be used by you. Come to think of it, among Lin Yunzheng's personal soldiers, there are also many people who listen to you."

And these people are now under Sheng Tingye's command, surrounding Sheng Tingye, and he has to command the encirclement and suppression of Sheng Tingjing.

Thinking about it, Shen Qingci felt cold all over his body.

For the sake of the saint's order, and for the people of Yunzhou, Sheng Tingye worked hard and risked himself to reach this point.

Unexpectedly, not only did Sheng Tingzhao take the credit, but he also asked their mother and son to stab him in the back.

According to what Sheng Tingzhao meant, it was obvious that he wanted to use Sheng Tingjing's hand to get rid of Sheng Tingye.

Although Sheng Tingjing's crime is unforgivable this time, he has not reached the point of real rebellion, and the saint has few heirs, and it is very likely that he will be confined for life in the end.

He might be spared.

But it would be different if he killed Sheng Tingye.

Brotherhood has always been the most taboo thing for saints, and Sheng Tingjing may not even be able to save his life.

Eliminate two strong opponents at once,
The remaining two princes, one is the young Xiaojiu Sheng Tingyi, who is completely useless.

One is Sheng Tingyun, the eldest son of the emperor who has lost his inheritance qualifications and is far away from the court due to disability.

Since then, no one can stop Sheng Tingzhao from becoming the crown prince.

The empress and Sheng Tingzhao's mother and son played well!
But even though he knew that the Tian family was ruthless, that the imperial power was turbulent, and that intrigues and intrigues were perfectly normal, Shen Qingci still felt cold for Sheng Tingye.

He is also the queen's own son.

As a mother, how could she be eccentric to such an extent!
Not only did she not hesitate to trick Sheng Tingye into making a wedding dress for Sheng Tingzhao, but she also wanted to step on Sheng Tingye's bones to become Sheng Tingzhao's emperor.

Obviously, she still has more choices, but she chooses to use the most ruthless and ruthless one.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci's heart felt like a needle prick.

She felt sorry for Sheng Tingye.

She thought about how much wronged and trampled Sheng Tingye had been under the hands of their mother and son all these years.

Sadness from the bottom of my heart, hatred to the bone.

Sheng Tingzhao didn't see what kind of emotion Shen Qingci's drooping eyelashes were covering, he said jokingly: "Why is the third sister-in-law so sure that Ah Zheng's personal soldiers are for my use, not Ah Zheng's own will?"

"After all, that's his personal soldier."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci raised his head.

She looked into Sheng Tingzhao's eyes, and asked without answering: "Isn't Lin Fu also his confidant, and he is using it for you?"

She put down the teacup that had already cooled down.

"The eldest princess is so powerful, it shouldn't be difficult to place some people around Lin Yunzheng and even in the army to control her son conveniently."

She had guessed it when she saw Lin Fu's expression before.

Lin Fu did not betray Lin Yunzheng and seek refuge with Sheng Tingzhao, but was instructed by Princess Jian'an.

The one who really joined the party of Empress Sheng Tingzhao was Princess Jian'an!
As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingzhao smiled brilliantly.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law."

After laughing, he said with a bit of regret in his tone: "It's a pity, marrying my third brother will make him a widow at a young age, wasting the beauty and unparalleled intelligence of my third sister-in-law for nothing."

"How to do it?"

Sheng Tingzhao frowned slightly, as if he was really sorry and worthless for Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci didn't want to pay attention to his pretentious appearance at all, let alone wasting energy dealing with him.

As soon as they were talking, the faint sound of horseshoes gradually became clearer.

There are a lot of people, and the pace is very fast.

Listening to that posture, in a few breaths, they can bypass the mountain in front of them and reach the valley opposite them.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but stood up and looked up.

They are now on a hillside, just in time to see the situation below the valley clearly.

The mouth of the valley is narrow, with jagged cliffs on both sides. On the cliffs below, you can faintly see the archers who have been ambushed and the guards who have drawn their swords and are ready to go.

If as Sheng Tingzhao wished, the person who came was Sheng Tingjing who fled from Luofengpo, and these guards who had ambushed would fly down and capture Sheng Tingjing.

And if something goes wrong, Sheng Tingye will rush back...

For him, no matter what, it was a dead end.

Shen Qingci subconsciously glanced at the archers who had already strung their bows, and his heart rose to his throat.

Sheng Tingzhao put down the teacup and stood up, he waved his hand, and someone immediately removed the coffee table and other things.

He walked behind Shen Qingci, with a slight smile in his tone, he said calmly: "Sister-in-law San might as well guess who is here?"
