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

Chapter 306 306

Even if it was only four words, but coupled with his expression at the moment, Shen Qingci suddenly felt that there was something in his words.

He wasn't just referring to her peeping in Renhetang last night.

Sure enough, he sneered in the next moment: "Is it okay to use the glass fire beads?"

His eyes were too cold, piercing Shen Qingci's back felt cold.

He didn't recognize her until now, which was much later than she expected.

After all, because of her special physique, the ferret started to explode at the first sight of her, which already made her look different.

If the previous two times were acceptable, then in Renhetang, the reaction of the ferret was enough to arouse his vigilance.

Moreover, she was poisoned by the poison, but she didn't die, but lived well. Apart from the Dongyi clan's sacred object, the glass fire beads, Xiao Wenyan couldn't think of anything else.

No wonder he said he was stupid.

Xiao Wenyan looked at Shen Qingci with snow in his eyes.

"Mrs. Lin, or should I call you Jiang Yuwan?"

Shen Qingci stretched his legs, making a gesture to get up, but he fell back from his seat feeling a little weak.

She spread her hands and said helplessly, "It's up to you."

After finishing speaking, she frowned, and said with confusion on her face, "Why do you all seem to know Jiang Yuwan?"

Xiao Wenyan gritted his teeth: "We, all?"

The surprise in his eyes was fleeting, but he quickly realized: "You are talking about Gu Qiuli."

Shen Qingci suddenly realized that even Xiao Wenyan learned about her from Gu Qiuli.

Not only that, Gu Qiuli also publicized the fact that Qingyang Wang's family had glass fire beads.

Shen Qingci sat on his knees, propped his elbows on his knees, and rested his chin on his palm, and said with a smile: "Can you find out who he is? If you kill me, aren't you afraid to make a wedding dress for someone else?"

Xiao Wenyan paused with his fingers holding the red sandalwood Buddha beads, although his eyes were cold, he gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Wang Baoqin who was beside Shen Qingci suddenly grabbed her arm and exclaimed, "He's here!"

Shen Qingci followed the sound and saw a man dressed in white Shengxue walking out of the forest holding a sword.

He still had that leisurely and self-satisfied appearance, although he was smiling between his brows, there was no warmth at all.

In a trance, Shen Qingci thought of being in the forest in Yunzhou.

He was also like this, monopolizing the wind and snow, blocking her way with his sword.

At that time, Shen Qingci chose to compromise for Sheng Tingye, as well as for Yue Qi and Wang Baoqin in the carriage.

Today is like this again.

However, Shen Qingci knew that his main target today was not her.

"Long time no see, Miss Shen, stay safe."

Gu Qiuli smiled at Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci raised his eyebrows, "No, I'm sick, I've been poisoned and can't move."

As she spoke, she spread her hands and sighed helplessly.

Gu Qiuli didn't seem surprised by this, after exchanging pleasantries, he turned his gaze to Xiao Wenyan.

"Xiao Wenyan, we meet again."

"Oh, I should call you Your Highness the Crown Prince now."

He said so, but Gu Qiuli's attitude towards Xiao Wenyan was really not respectful.

There was even contempt in his eyes.

Before Xiao Wenyan's guards could draw their swords, he sneered and said, "I told you, the next time we meet, I will take your life."

"It's time to deliver on that promise."

While speaking, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and with the buzzing sound of a long sword, the long sword in his hand came out of its sheath.

In an instant, he took the long sword and killed Xiao Wenyan with the momentum of thunder.

That sword used all his internal strength and was unstoppable.

The guards around Xiao Wenyan immediately formed an formation to protect him.

Two people were already heading towards Gu Qiuli.

For a time, swords and swords were flying, sand and stones were flying.

The wind brought by the sword energy swept across, and the sword light refracted from the already eye-catching rays of the sun was even more like a cold star shooting water.

Even though the guards around Xiao Wenyan were all first-class experts, they couldn't get half a point against him.

What's more, after dozens of rounds, the two of them were showing signs of defeat.

Gu Qiuli looked at the right time and swung his sword again, but the two of them couldn't completely block it.

As a majestic sword energy swung out, the guards around Xiao Wenyan had raised their swords to block, but they were still forced to take half a step back.

Xiao Wenyan, who was behind them, was also scratched by this sword energy.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and he happened to be wearing a mask, so the sword wind only scratched the skin of the face that was fed with human face Gu.

Xiao Wenyan's eyes sank.

He raised his hand to touch his cheek, and with a wave of his hand, he tore off the skin of that face.

The dripping blood dripped down his cheeks, which looked frightening, but in fact it was not his own blood.

He took the handkerchief from Qingyue at the side, and wiped off the blood on his face with his hands, revealing his original handsome face.

Although Gu Qiuli's sword energy did not cut through his own skin, it also left a red mark.

That red mark set off his red lips and fair complexion, making him more and more shockingly beautiful.

At this time, after being wiped with blood, the cinnabar mole on the center of his brow also seemed to be tinged with a strange red.

"very good."

Xiao Wenyan said word by word: "Gu Qiuli, you can't blame me for looking for death."

"You think you can kill me?"

While speaking, Xiao Wenyan turned to glance at the forest, and said in a deep voice, "Tsing Yi, what are you waiting for?"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow sprang out from the forest.

The man was holding a jasper flute, and walked towards Gu Qiuli slowly.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Shen Qingci, who was watching the play from the side, couldn't help but click his tongue.

The appearance of this person is seven or eight points similar to that Wu Zhu Qinghe.

The remaining pair of eyes...

When Shen Qingci saw Qing He, his eyes had already been gouged out, leaving only two bleeding holes.

And the eyes of the person in front of him are clear and clean, not like the eyes of an adult.

"Gu Qiuli, do you still remember me?"

The man called Tsing Yi by Xiao Wenyan stood still three feet away from Gu Qiuli.

When his clear eyes looked at Gu Qiuli, they were stained with a layer of monstrous anger.

"We should also settle our accounts."

Hearing this, Gu Qiuli, who had just put away his sword and stood firm, sneered and said, "It's time to figure it out. I only regret that I didn't find you and wiped out your two brothers, and left you as a disaster."

Hearing this, Tsing Yi cursed angrily: "I will avenge my brother today!"

Gu Qiuli raised his eyes, and said tit for tat: "Okay, I'm worried that making him a human being alone is not enough to relieve my hatred, and you are just right."

While speaking, he swung the long sword horizontally, flicked the two fingers of his left hand together, and the long sword made a buzzing sound in an instant.

The next moment, he raised his sword and stabbed straight at Tsing Yi.

But Tsing Yi's feet were blown by the wind, and he took several steps back. Before he could stabilize his figure, he had already blown the jade flute in his hand.

The jade flute was green and transparent, and looked very beautiful, but the sound it played was weird and weird.

"what--"

And the next moment, after seeing clearly what was wriggling up and down their feet, Shen Qingci was startled suddenly, and Wang Baoqin beside him screamed.

Right behind Tsing Yi, countless red snakes swarmed towards Gu Qiuli, drawn by the sound of the flute.

The squirming red snakes moved surprisingly fast, encircling Gu Qiuli in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, Gu Qiuli was not a vegetarian, and with the sword energy in his hand, the red snakes were chopped off in half.

For a moment, the snake's body flew horizontally, and the venom splashed everywhere, making the scalps of the people watching the whole scene numb.

Although Gu Qiuli's kung fu is good, those red snakes have been fed with venom all year round, and their bodies are covered in venom.

Moreover, after killing one, the next one will rush over, as if it can't be finished.

Seeing the battle between humans and snakes, the two sides were stuck in a stalemate, Shen Qingci did not forget to turn his head to look at Xiao Wenyan who was watching the battle calmly.

"What kind of grievances does he have with the Dongyi people?"

Looking at Tsing Yi's appearance, it is obvious that he has spent all his money and wants to stay with Gu Qiuli forever.

He treated Gu Qiuli for revenge, Shen Qingci could understand, but why did Gu Qiuli attack the Dongyi people in the first place, and why did he treat Qinghe in such a cruel way?
How did the grievances between them come about?

In normal times, Xiao Wenyan would not talk to her at all.

But right now, it is the best chance to distract Gu Qiuli.

Xiao Wenyan stood facing Gu Qiuli with his hands behind his back, smiled and raised his voice, "I've heard about this, it's revenge for killing my mother."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Gu Qiuli was almost bitten by a flying red snake because of his unsteady mind.

Xiao Wenyan continued: "Back then, there was a woman with a six-year-old child who hid in the Nether Valley in order to avoid being chased by her enemies. It happened that Qinghe took a fancy to her and chose both of them as medicine men."

"The witchcraft of the Dongyi clan is for the use of the Xiao royal family in the final analysis. Qinghe is obsessed with Gu poison, but he can't directly arrest the members of the Xiao royal family for research. The blood of the Xiao royal family is compatible with the blood of the Xiao family. His child, there is no reason for him to let it go."

Needless to say, Shen Qingci also guessed what happened next.

Just thinking about how tragic the medicine people of the Dongyi people are.

It's no wonder that Gu Qiuli hated Qinghe so much, and even almost wiped out the entire Dongyi clan with one hand.

Leaving aside Gu Qiuli's past grievances with her, Shen Qingci has a bit of sympathy for Gu Qiuli's relationship with Qing He.

If someone bullies her to hurt her parents, not to mention being a pig, she can do it even if she is ashamed.

"and."

Seeing that Gu Qiu's mind was unstable, and the tricks in his hands were gradually showing flaws, Xiao Wenyan frowned, and continued: "A great witch Zhu of Qinghe's level, how can he not see that he is the direct descendant of the Xiao family's royal family, not It's just a blood bond."

These words were not loud, but they were like thunder.

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's heart suddenly missed half a beat.

She had guessed before, but it was just a guess.

When she heard this conjecture confirmed with her own ears, the turmoil in her heart was still not small.

As early as the first time she met Gu Qiuli, when the other party wanted to bring her to Chu State no matter what, Shen Qingci was wondering what Gu Qiuli's identity was.

This question remains unanswered.

It wasn't until he brought him to Miaochuan, had more contact with him, and said more words, that Shen Qingci pieced together clues from those clues, that he suspected that he should be a member of the Xiao family.

Thinking of the disdain in his eyes when he mentioned Xiao Wenyan, and the ferrets he raised as well...

But in the survey she received about the members of the Xiao clan, he was not mentioned as such a person.

There was one person who caught her attention.

Xiao Qingyun, the previous monarch of the Chu Kingdom, who is also the eldest brother of the current female monarch, when the regent who controlled the government at that time led troops to force the palace, causing him to die, he left behind a bloodline named Xiao Wenjing, who was only six years old.

But during that palace change, Xiao Wenjing and his biological mother Concubine Jiang were missing, and some people said that they were buried in the fire of that palace change.

Because the direct descendants of the Xiao family were withered, Xiao Qingyun did not leave any sons and daughters behind. As the only direct descendant of the Xiao family, Xiao Qinglan, the younger sister who was fostered in Taoist temples since childhood due to poor health, was welcomed back. , sat in that position, and became the current queen.

Looking at it now, Concubine Jiang's mother and son did not know who was hunting them down at the time, and they fled to Nether Valley when they had nowhere to go.

Unexpectedly, not only did the Dongyi people not recognize Gu Qiuli's identity, they were even used by Qing He as medicine men.

clang!
A crisp sound.

The internal force in Gu Qiuli's body was so violent that it directly shattered the long sword in his hand.

Seeing those scarlet snakes spitting out their letters and about to pounce on him, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared from the forest.

They moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Qiuli was protected in it.

Xiao Wenyan clicked his tongue and said, "Unexpectedly, you brought quite a few people with you. It's a pity that you couldn't kill you directly."

Xiao Wenyan raised his hand, "Gu Qiuli, or should I call you Xiao Wenjing?"

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Anyway, it's nothing important, and no one will call you like that in the future. You must die here today."

Following his order, all the guards beside him, except for Qingyue, moved towards Gu Qiuli...to be precise, towards Xiao Wenjing to kill him.

Tsing Yi on the side even blew the jade flute, urging the remaining group of densely packed Chilian Snakes to continue to besiege.

However, Xiao Wenyan stood at the side calmly, watching from the sidelines.

The two guards he sent out before turned out to be hiding their strength, forcing Gu Qiuli's back-up to show up.

Now that the two sides are fighting together, it is impossible to tell the difference between the superior and inferior for a while.

Shen Qingci looked to the left, then to the right, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Wenyan.

She sighed silently.

Regardless of the past grievances, with Xiao Wenyan's current status, he is destined to be separated from Gu Qiu... Xiao Wenjing will never die.

If the latter is allowed to go back, his position as the crown prince has not yet been firmly established, and suddenly a direct descendant of the Xiao family comes back, the situation in the court will definitely change again.

After all, he is just a substitute selected from the blood relatives of the Xiao family outside of the fifth server.

The authentic descendant of the royal family is back, what else is there to do with him.

It is impossible for him to let his many years of planning and management go to waste.

Tell them to fight first, as long as they don't affect themselves for the time being.

Shen Qingci was thinking about it, but Xiao Wenyan suddenly turned his head.

He smiled faintly: "I am really lucky. There are only two variables in wanting the position, but now I have all of them."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Shen Qingci again, but raised his voice to Gu Qiuli who was in the melee: "Xiao Wenjing, if I were you, I would kill her directly, why bother to bring her back to Chu?" Guo, have you forgotten who caused your family to be destroyed?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingci frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Wenyan raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm talking nonsense, normal people with eyes can see, who will benefit after the death of the late emperor?"

Shen Qingci sneered: "Not everyone wants that position, rather than her, I'd rather believe that you are the one who is planning."

At this time, Gu Qiuli had withdrawn from the fierce battle.

Shen Qingci's words caught his attention.

Shen Qingci frowned and looked at Xiao Wenyan, and questioned: "You said that the queen was calculating everything, then I can also suspect that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of becoming the next emperor, afraid of not being able to fight the regent, so you pushed her away Make a shield."

"In your opinion, she is just a weak woman who can not only relax the regent's vigilance, but also block open and hidden arrows for you very well. As for the future, when the regent loses, she has no children under her knees. It still fell on the head of one of you, and she is a girl, so she can only be manipulated by you."

Having said that, Shen Qingci turned his head and glanced at Gu Qiuli, who had gloomy eyes, "Oh, yes, the premise is that Xiao Qingyun, a direct descendant, must die."

"But who would have expected that the female monarch would be so powerful. She endured the humiliation, and finally not only overthrew the rule of the regent, but also managed the state of Chu in an orderly manner, Haiyan Heqing."

"Your idea of ​​replacing it has never been realized until..."

At the end, Shen Qingci looked at Xiao Wenyan and said in a cold voice, "She is seriously ill."

This disease is not a real disease, but poisoned by others.

If Shen Qingci's previous speculation was correct, then the person who poisoned him must have something to do with Xiao Wenyan's team, and it might even be his plan.

She didn't believe that a wise monarch like the female monarch would choose such a ruthless and unscrupulous heir as Xiao Wenyan.

Moreover, she tried to speak a few times before, but from Xiao Wenyan's tone, she didn't hear the slightest respect and care for the queen.

Compared to the female monarch who chose Xiao Wenyan as the crown prince, Shen Qingci was more willing to believe that the female monarch was coerced and did it as a last resort.

Gu Qiuli didn't know how much he listened to Shen Qingci's words.

His gloomy gaze stayed on Shen Qingci's face for a moment, and then he frowned and said, "It seems that you know your identity."

Shen Qingci smiled bitterly, and helplessly spread his hands: "If you hadn't been chasing me all the way, I might not have known it for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Qiu to leave his mouth, Shen Qingci questioned: "You know that the pursuit and killing back then were not done by the female monarch, why did you keep chasing me endlessly?"

Gu Qiuli remained silent, but Xiao Wenyan sneered and said, "You're good at sowing discord."

Shen Qingci straightened his waist, and said tit for tat: "You know it yourself, what I said is the truth."

I thought Xiao Wenyan would be able to quibble, but he didn't think that he would answer directly.

"So what, you can't get out alive today."

After speaking, Tsing Yi's flute turned.

Originally, one after another pounced on Gu Qiuli's group of Chilian snakes, a group separated out and crawled towards the position where Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin were.

Seeing the sticky snake heads and the red letter spit out from their mouths from time to time, Shen Qingci's scalp went numb.

She is most afraid of snakes!
