Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 2 Burning Lianyungong

Cheng Haitang sat in front of the window of Lianyungong for two days and two nights.

"Empress, please eat something!" Caiqin said uneasily: "In addition to yourself, you should also take care of you and the emperor's child. The little prince is also hungry!"

"What does it matter if he's hungry? He shouldn't have come." Haitang touched her bulging belly with an expressionless face: "My child, your father is the murderer of your grandfather. Do you want to come to this hypocritical world? ?”

Caiqin didn't dare to answer the question and walked out with the porridge in fear.

"Dad, brother, I shouldn't have come to you..." Haitang's face was filled with tears, but a sad smile appeared on her face: "Brother Mingze, how do you want me to explain to Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng?"

What she didn't know was that Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng and the five hundred people in Yuehu Town had been wiped out by blood after they left, and no one was spared.Now, the only people still alive in Yuehu Town are Cheng Haitang and Feng Mingze, who were taken away by King Xian at that time.

However, Feng Mingze's life was almost as good as his death. He entered the Machine Building Department of the Shenji Camp and never saw the blue sky outside again. He worked day and night just to make magic weapons.

They said that if they couldn't create it, Cheng Haitang would have to die with her.Feng Mingze was not afraid of death, but he was reluctant to let Haitang die.

It was at dusk when the faint sound of silk and bamboo came from outside Lianyun Palace. Haitang was stunned for a moment and actually smiled:

"Yes, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

During the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, Haitang was still the legitimate daughter of General Cheng's residence. It was her first time attending a banquet in the palace.

The emperor's children are not many, but all of them are outstandingly handsome and graceful.After King Xian used a trap to perform a clever trick, he was praised by the Emperor and Concubine Ji.Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, King Xian asked the emperor and his concubine for Cheng Haitang.

Concubine Ji pressed up and rubbed the emperor a few times, and the emperor agreed.Cheng Haitang, the daughter of General Cheng Yu, was given to King Xian as his wife.

The incident happened suddenly. Cheng Yu stood up suddenly and wanted to step forward to dodge, but was held back by Jiang Kui, who was also the commander-in-chief.The decree has been issued!
Cheng Haitang was very happy.Her idea was simple. King Xian was kind to her and took her to find her father. She was willing to be with him.Madam is just madam, what does it matter?
The moon is still there, it is hard to keep people, how can light eyebrows bear heavy hatred?I just hope everything will stop!
Haitang called Cai Qin in to change clothes, and then carefully took care of her nails in front of the dressing table. Cai Qin inserted the last hairpin, looked at Haitang, who had picturesque features, red lips and white teeth, and said with a smile: "Our queen is really Such a beauty, she doesn’t look bloated even when she’s pregnant with the little prince!”

Haitang smiled, and walked slowly towards the Hall of Dragons where the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was being held.

In the Longyin Hall, the candlelight was bright and people were drinking wine. It was the emperor who was entertaining nobles.

With a smile as bright as a flower, Haitang walked towards the emperor and empress sitting in the middle seat, bowed Yingying, and said softly: "Concubine Haitang meets His Majesty the Emperor, and meets the Queen."

The emperor saw a beauty coming from a distance. When he looked closer, he realized it was Begonia and was stunned for a moment.The queen glanced at her belly, nodded and smiled: "It turns out to be Cheng Bin, why are you late?"

"It's not too late, the round moon has not hung up yet~"

Haitang said, looking around, and found that there was a bottle of wine on Prince Duan's table, so he leaned half on the cushion. Prince Duan, with blurred eyes, thanked Ruitang and said, "Prince Duan, I would like to borrow your wine. I wish you the best." Your Majesty and the Queen.”

Haitang didn't wait for Xie Ruitang to answer, so she walked over and picked up a wine glass on the table. Regardless of whether anyone had used it, she filled it with wine, then walked over, took the wine flask and poured it into the emperor's cup.The poison powder in her fingernails followed the wine and entered the emperor's wine glass.But she didn't know that when she changed her attitude and took the initiative to propose a toast, the suspicious emperor focused on her nails, which were never painted with cardamom.

The medicinal powder is white and melts when put into wine.But he couldn't resist Haitang's trembling fingers, and a little bit of foam still stuck to the wall of the wine glass.

"Your Majesty, I wish you and the Queen that the bright moon will be with you every year, and that the clouds will return every year." Haitang looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the Emperor, picked up her wine glass and drank it all.

The emperor looked at his wine glass with a half-smile, stood up and walked around the table, grabbing Haitang's right hand. Haitang stumbled and fell into the emperor's arms.The Longyin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at the emperor and Cheng Bin in his arms.Prince Duan, who was still half asleep just now, stood up and laughed loudly: "Is the emperor drunk too much? Are you trying to make my brother admire your deep love in public?" He saw that something was wrong with Haitang and wanted to rush over to stop him. , but the person in front of him is his younger brother, and even more so, the emperor!
The emperor did not smile, however, and looked at Haitang's bright and moving face with pity: "Cheng Bin, okay, why are you doing this? I want to give you a toast in person!"

Before he finished speaking, he still restrained Haitang with one hand, shook the glass of wine slightly with the other hand, brought it to Haitang's lips, and whispered: "Cheng Haitang, you are too impatient! Do you think you can kill me like this? "

The emperor threw the wine glass and tugged at Cheng Bin's sleeve, and the knot tied around her wrist was torn open.

Haitang was stunned, and suddenly smiled at the cold but still handsome face: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After saying that, she took the Emperor's hand and slowly drank the wine in the glass.She stood up on tiptoes and put her lips close to the emperor's ear and exhaled like a orchid: "Xie Ruiqiao, Cheng Haitang is waiting for you!"

The wine glass fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.

Haitang took her hand out of the emperor's hand, and a sleeve arrow with folded bow wings fell out of her sleeve. She didn't even look at it, and walked out of the hall with a smile on her face.No one stopped her, and she walked back to Lianyungong step by step.The poison she had administered was slow. At that time, she did not want the emperor to die immediately in the Dragon Song Palace.

Watching Cheng Bin leave step by step, King Duan already knew what had just happened, and couldn't help but feel despair.He was the emperor's third brother. He saw with his own eyes that after King Xian ascended the throne, he brutalized those who had helped him win the throne. This was true for his ministers, friends, and brothers.Nowadays, even Haitang cannot live peacefully in the world!
King Duan didn't want to think about it any more.The father left behind a ruined country, and Xie Ruiqiao made matters worse. How could the Celestial Empire continue?If you take one wrong step at the beginning, your life will be worthless from now on.
Leaning against the gate of Lianyungong, Haitang felt a little tired.The abdominal pain began to come in waves, at first like dense needles, and then like waves breaking the shore.

Caiqin and Caiwei were outside the palace door, patting the door and not daring to break in.Haitang stood up with difficulty, took out a fire stick, lit the gauze curtain in the palace, staggered into the inner room, and lit the gauze curtain as well.

The abdominal pain made Haitang almost faint, and she finally fell beside the bed like a kite with its string broken.

While her mind was wandering, she seemed to hear a commotion outside, and then heard someone pushing the door open and breaking in. The person sat down and half-hugged her into his arms.His embrace was so warm that Haitang couldn't help but look up at her face. It was an eager and distressed face, with eyes that were familiar yet unfamiliar.

"His Royal Highness Duanwang...it's you..."

Haitang couldn't remember whether she had time to laugh or not. Her soul had already drifted away with the smoke. She was going to find her father and brother, as well as the mother she had never met.

Mom, here I come.Gradually, Haitang no longer hurts.

"Haitang! Cheng Haitang! You little fool!" Prince Duan cried out, "I thought you would be happy if you were by his side!"

Prince Duan raised his hand and stroked Haitang's messy hair stuck to her forehead. The pain when the poison took effect made her covered in sweat.

The prince held her right hand, put the fingertips to his lips and kissed her. He looked at her fingernails painted with cardamom and laughed: "You can make poison, but you can't poison it. It shows that you are a clean person." After that, he sucked the index finger of the one he loved into his mouth, tenderly and affectionately.

"Don't worry, little fool. I have avenged you." Prince Duan put down Haitang's hand. The fire around him was already burning fiercely. The flames licked the prince's face, but he felt no pain.Because my heart hurts even more!

When King Xian came to power, several brothers died unexpectedly, but he kept his eyes closed and helped the tiger.

"I used your sleeve arrow to shoot him in the heart. He couldn't survive. I know that your arrow has quenched the poison." Prince Duan closed his eyes, raised his face and smiled, holding his arms tightly in his arms. Haitang said, "They left one by one, and I am still living alone, just because of this little fool!"

That glimpse outside the city gate turned out to be a lifetime.

"Cheng Haitang, I am with you...don't be afraid! Remember, my name is Xie Ruitang..."
