Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 366
When he walked outside the palace gate, Xiao Shangyan's face had already darkened.

He looked back at the pavilions, towers and pavilions behind him, the palace walls and cornices, his eyes seemed to be covered with a gloomy haze.

"Show me the harem."

Xiao Shangyan coldly glanced at Yu Shao, the commander of the imperial guards who was waiting outside the palace gate in fear, "If there is anything wrong with the third princess, I will ask you."

Cold sweat broke out on Yu Shao's forehead: "Yes."

Yu Shao was Xiao Shangyan's former lieutenant general.

Now the Great Qin Emperor has long existed in name only, and many important positions in the court have been replaced by Xiao Shangyan's confidants.

It was only a matter of time before Xiao Shangyan replaced the Great Qin Emperor.

*
In the empress dowager's bedroom, all the maids and eunuchs who served were dismissed.

The imperial doctor took Qin Luoyu's pulse, contemplated for a moment, and then turned to the queen mother: "The third princess, her pulse condition is not abnormal, but her mental state is not normal. It is quite different from the past, but more like it."

He paused for a moment, seeming to ponder over his words, "It doesn't seem like he's sick, nor does he feel like he's been stimulated, but rather like some kind of illusion."

The queen mother's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Luoyu who was sitting quietly in the inner hall, "Illusion? What illusion?"

The imperial physician's surname is Ruan, he is not young, with a goatee under his jaw, which describes him as clean and thin.

He can be regarded as the most trusted imperial doctor of the queen mother in the palace.

Imperial Physician Ruan was a little ashamed, "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't see it, it's just a guess."

He has practiced medicine for decades, but he has never seen the situation of the third princess.

How can such a good person suddenly behave differently from before?
If the third princess was stimulated by something, but when she talked with the queen mother, she clearly remembered the past, and she behaved like a normal person.

However, if the Queen Mother didn't take the initiative to ask her anything, she would not speak, but just sat there quietly, too quiet.

Imperial Physician Ruan was an old man in the palace, and he had watched the third princess grow up.

The third princess has always been lively and unrestrained, and she can't sit still for a moment.

Apart from illusion, Imperial Physician Ruan really couldn't think of anything else that would make such a lively and noisy girl suddenly become strangely cute.

The queen mother was a little disappointed, with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

Physician Ruan twisted his goatee and hesitated for a while: "The old minister had a close friend back then. This person's surname was Ge, and he was a hermit from the Ling Kingdom. He has superb medical skills and is known as a miracle doctor."

The Empress Dowager raised her head suddenly: "Is this person in Liyang?"

Imperial Physician Ruan shook his head: "He has passed away, but his apprentice is currently living in Shexia. Although he is young, he has won the true biography of Miracle Physician Ge. If the Queen Mother allows it, the old minister can ask him to try to treat the princess."

The queen mother was overjoyed: "If he is willing to come, it will be good."

"It's just that the guards in this palace are strictly guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave easily."

"You don't have to worry about that."

The Empress Dowager said, "I will think of a way to let him enter the palace tonight."

After seeing Imperial Doctor Ruan away, the Queen Mother returned to Qin Luoyu and sat down, gently holding her hand.

Qin Luoyu raised his eyes and smiled at her: "Mother's queen."

Empress Dowager Li felt sour, "I heard from your elder brother, Queen Mother, that the Emperor of Ling Kingdom loved you very much, why did you come back with Xiao Shangyan's people?"

Qin Luoyu was not at all moved by the words "Emperor of Ling Kingdom", and replied very naturally: "Brother Shangyan wants me to come back, so I will come back."

Empress Dowager Li couldn't understand her daughter's logic: "But you are the queen of Ling Kingdom, how can you listen to him?"

Qin Luoyu said seriously: "I want to listen to Brother Shangyan's words. I have to listen to what he said."

Empress Dowager Li was stunned: "Why?"

Qin Luoyu thought hard, but couldn't come up with a reason: "Anyway, I want to listen to brother Shang Yan."

Empress Dowager Li felt at this moment that Imperial Physician Ruan's speculation about the illusion just now might be true.

Although my daughter liked Xiao Shangyan in the past, it is definitely not like now, as if she has completely lost the ability to think, turning over and over again, only saying these few words that are similar to each other.

Empress Dowager Li gently stroked Qin Luoyu's hair, feeling an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

She has three children in her life, and the one who loves her the most is this youngest daughter.

When she was married to Lingguo back then, she couldn't bear to let her daughter marry him.

But there is no way.

Although she is a woman in the harem, she also knows very well that the national crisis and the relationship between mother and daughter are big and small.

I thought it would be bad luck for her to marry into Lingguo, and the mother and daughter would never see each other again.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the Ling Kingdom, she could actually promote the alliance and friendship between the two countries. It is said that the emperor of the Ling Kingdom did not hesitate to expel the concubine because of her, which shows how much he loves her.

Empress Dowager Li can be said to be extremely pleased, but unexpectedly she was robbed back to the Great Qin Kingdom by Xiao Shangyan.

A cold light loomed in Empress Dowager Li's eyes.

Xiao Shangyan wants Jiu to occupy the magpie's nest, seize the world of Qin, and also wants to imprison Yu'er by his side, how can it be so easy.

*
Xue Yuheng has never experienced such aggrieved practice of medicine in his life.

To sneak into the palace at night pretending to be a eunuch in the palace, pretending to be a eunuch is not counted, but a eunuch who cleans up the filth in the palace.

Xue Yuheng tied two strips of cloth tightly under his nose, but it was hard to resist the disgusting smell.

Xin Dao either looked at it for the sake of Imperial Physician Ruan, or because the Queen Mother was Qin Luoyu's mother.

Even if he was killed today, he would not come to this clinic.

"Nephew Yuheng, take care of me, take care of me."

On a dark and windy night, when Imperial Physician Ruan rushed to the Empress Dowager's bedroom with Xue Yuheng like a thief, he kept apologizing, "It's true that the palace guards are strict now, and no one is allowed to come in and out at will, and the Empress Dowager has no choice but to make such a move .”

Xue Yuheng tore off the cloth strip next to his nose, took a long breath, and let out all the stale air that had been suppressed for a long time.

Then he said slowly: "I heard that the consort of the fourth princess has all the power in the court. I can't see it for long. I'm afraid you will change it."

Before he could utter the word change of dynasty, Imperial Physician Ruan broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly covered Xue Yuheng's mouth, "Nephew Yuheng, speak carefully, speak carefully."

Xue Yuheng smiled and kept silent.

Xiao Shangyan was silent to Xiao Shangyan from inside and outside the Great Qin Kingdom. He is from Ling Kingdom, so there is nothing to be jealous of, but he also does not want to cause trouble for himself and Imperial Physician Ruan.

Doctor Ruan is a close friend of Doctor Ge for many years, and has been in correspondence with Master.

This time he traveled through Daqin, so he stopped by Imperial Physician Ruan to inform him of his master's death, so he stayed in Daqin for a few days.

Originally, he was planning to leave tomorrow to continue his wanderings, but imperial physician Ruan said that the queen mother was seriously ill and the imperial hospital was helpless, and hoped that he could help him enter the palace to have a look.

According to his temperament, he didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the palace.

But thinking that his junior sister was the third princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, he asked a lot, whether the queen mother is the third princess' biological mother.

The answer is one hundred percent yes.

Imperial Physician Ruan vowed: "I can't kiss you any more! When the Queen Mother gave birth to the third princess, I was waiting outside the palace, ready to call anytime!"

Xue Yuheng endured the humiliation and came to the palace disguised as a eunuch.

However, when he followed Imperial Physician Ruan into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, was quietly led into the inner hall, and saw Qin Luoyu sitting there quietly!

Xue Yuheng's eyes were about to drop: "Junior Sister, why are you here!"

The junior sister was so shocked that the queen mother and doctor Ruan staggered, and they all looked at him in shock.

Xue Yuheng explained his relationship with Qin Luoyu clearly in a few words, and rushed to Qin Luoyu in a few steps.

However, Qin Luoyu just raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his gaze as if seeing a stranger.

Not even a single extra word was said.

Xue Yuheng was stunned: "Junior Sister, you don't know me anymore? Don't you?"

Qin Luoyu said lightly: "I know."

Xue Yuheng was overjoyed: "Then tell me, who am I?"

Qin Luoyu whispered his name accurately: "Xue Yuheng."

His expression was extremely indifferent, even a little absent-minded, and there was absolutely no surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Xue Yuheng was quite shocked.

Since meeting Qin Luoyu, it was the first time she ignored her like this.

After listening to Imperial Physician Ruan and the Queen Mother talking about Qin Luoyu's situation, Xue Yuheng's face became more solemn than ever.

As diagnosed by Imperial Physician Ruan, Qin Luoyu's pulse condition did not show any problems, no different from normal people.

However, how can a normal person completely change into another personality?

Seeing that he didn't respond at all, it's all right, when he mentioned the emperor, Qin Luoyu also looked blank and indifferent!
And no matter what she was asked, she kept repeating the same sentence: "I want to listen to brother Shang Yan."

Thinking that he had inadvertently heard his master mention the witches and voodoo techniques in the North, many of which can confuse people's minds.

Xue Yuheng seriously suspected that Qin Luoyu was poisoned by the Northland witch Gu and lost his mind, which is why he was so abnormal.

It's just that there are many types of witchcraft poisons, and if you want to unravel it, you need to prescribe the right medicine, and it's not a matter of a while.

The most urgent task is how to bring her back to the Ling Kingdom.

She has been missing for so long, the emperor is afraid that he will go crazy looking for her.

Xue Yuheng's thoughts changed sharply, and he was thinking about how to speak to the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother seemed to have finally made up her mind, and said in a low voice: "Since Doctor Xue is Senior Brother Yu'er, he is not an outsider. I have something to ask."

*
The palace lantern swayed, and a small corner door on the side of the harem was opened.

A carriage transporting the palace's waste slowly drove out. Dozens of round wooden barrels were stacked high, and the stench was so foul that it was disgusting.

The palace guard on duty held his nose, inspected it symbolically, and then let him go.

The carriage went out of the city without hindrance. Outside the city, a carriage was already waiting by the side of the road.

Two round wooden barrels were moved down one by one, but a person got out of the wooden barrel that was supposed to hold the filth.

The other party took off the eunuch clothes on his body, carefully picked up another unconscious person in the barrel, nodded to the several people watching him, turned and got on the carriage.

The carriage traveled eastward all the way, and it went straight to the border between Daqin and Lingguo in the east.

After waking up, Qin Luoyu found that he was not in the palace, and was very panicked, crying all the way.

Just like a child, crying and yelling to find brother Shang Yan.

Xue Yuheng couldn't coax him for a long time.

Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, he had to feed her some medicines to calm the nerves and help her sleep, and she fell asleep obediently.

The queen mother said that she could delay for at least three days.

Three days later, Xiao Shangyan will come to the palace to pick up Qin Luoyu, and the Empress Dowager will try to delay it for a while.

Xue Yuheng calculated the itinerary.

Only three hundred li to the east of Liyang is the city of Luocheng in Lingguo.

According to the current speed, at most five days, he can leave the territory of Great Qin and arrive in Luo City.

Before Xiao Shangyan arrived, he should be able to escape from the border of Great Qin with Qin Luoyu.

*
three days later.

Xiao Shangyan came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom as promised, and wanted to take Qin Luoyu away.

Even though the Empress Dowager begged Qin Luoyu to stay for a few more days, Xiao Shangyan insisted on refusing.

He didn't even have the patience to listen to what the queen mother had to say, and strode into the inner hall bypassing the queen mother. When he found that Qin Luoyu was not there, his face immediately darkened.

The queen mother said calmly, maybe she went to the palace to play with the maid, and she hasn't come back yet.

Xiao Shangyan immediately sent someone to look for him.

However, when they searched all corners of the harem and it was getting late, and they still couldn't find Qin Luoyu, Xiao Shangyan was completely angry.

"Don't think that you are the queen mother of the third princess, so I dare not do anything to you."

Xiao Shangyan looked sullen and his voice was extremely cold, "Queen Mother, I advise you not to play tricks on me."

The Queen Mother was silent.

Xiao Shangyan sent people to search for Qin Luoyu's whereabouts, and at the same time ordered the guards to drag over to the harem to bring the empress and little prince of the Great Qin Emperor Qin Shiding.

"Tell me where the three princesses are, and I will spare them, otherwise."

When Xiao Shang's words fell, the sword came out like the wind, and chopped off a jasper pendant next to the queen's ear.

The empress turned pale with fright, she hugged the little prince and dared not say a word.

The little prince was only five years old, when he saw that this person dared to bully his mother, he rushed up and kicked and beat Xiao Shangyan.

Xiao Shangyan remained motionless, looking at the Queen Mother with gloomy eyes: "Queen Mother, why don't you tell me?"

The queen mother clenched her hands tightly by her side, her nails pinched into her palms, causing severe pain.

She tried her best to send her daughter away, but naturally she made up her mind and refused to reveal a word.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Xiao Shangyan's cruelty, and also underestimated Xiao Shangyan's unscrupulousness.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not answer, Xiao Shangyan grabbed the little prince's neck with his big palms like iron pincers, and lifted him up.

The child's little hands and legs kicked wildly in the air, and the queen cried so loudly that she almost fainted.

Seeing the child's breath getting weaker and weaker, his struggling movements became weaker.

The queen mother slumped down on the chair with a pale expression, and told Qin Luoyu's whereabouts in despair.

*
The carriage kept running day and night, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the border city of the Great Qin Kingdom was already far away.

As long as they pass through this city, they are considered to have left the Great Qin border, and they will be safe.

Xue Yuheng's heart, which had been tense for the past few days, finally relaxed a little.

Unfortunately, he stretched too soon.

He was waiting in the line of people leaving the city, but before he had time to check the customs clearance documents, the city gate was suddenly closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The ordinary people who went out of the city were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and those young women and their families were locked in a single place and were not allowed to move.

However, they were entertained with delicious food and drink, as if they were afraid that they would be hungry if they were thirsty.

It is said that there is a large-scale search in the city, and new young women are constantly being imprisoned.

The attitude of the soldiers towards them is different from that of the prisoners, but they are more polite.

Xue Yuheng groaned secretly in his heart, knowing that the queen mother might not be able to hold back.

He could only bring Qin Luoyu along among the crowd, hoping that they would not be noticed as much as possible.

Qin Luoyu didn't know whether he was frightened by so many people or what, he tugged at Xue Yuheng's clothes in fear and refused to let go, sat timidly beside him, sobbing softly.

To be honest, Xue Yuheng has known Qin Luoyu since.I have never seen Qin Luoyu so timid.

When she was tortured like that in the Imperial Prison, when she saw him and Wei Wuji, she still smiled as if nothing happened.

In such a small situation right now, she was so afraid.

Xue Yuheng was both amused and embarrassed.

She wondered if her junior sister returned to normal in the future, thinking of today's scene, would it be regarded as a shame in her life.

The rapid sound of horseshoes stopped outside, and a man with a scar on his brow and a sullen expression came in surrounded by many guards.

When Qin Luoyu saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up recklessly, and rushed towards the man, still shouting "Brother Shangyan".

Xue Yuheng knew it was over this time.

Whether Qin Luoyu would regard this encounter as a disgrace is another matter, disaster is certain.

It wasn't Qin Luoyu's catastrophe, but also his Xue Yuheng's catastrophe.

Xue Yuheng was roughly pulled out by the guards, and was kicked several times and fell to the ground, coughing violently.

Xiao Shangyan stared at him, and asked coldly: "Did Lord Ling send you here?"

Xue Yuheng's lips turned pale from the pain, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You underestimate my Majesty the Mausoleum too much. If I was really sent by the emperor, how could I be caught by you so easily."

Xiao Shangyan looked indifferently and turned to Zha Hetie beside him: "Clock him up and torture him, he must have accomplices."

He dropped these words and left with Qin Luoyu.

And Qin Luoyu happily left beside Xiao Shangyan, allowing him to be left here to die.

Xue Yuheng: "."

Junior sister, you are heartless.

Is it too late for him to call for help now?

Xue Yuheng was escorted by the guards to the prison.

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared, with a sharp cold light accompanied by the clang of swords clashing, tearing a gap in the guard's airtight guard.

The man picked up Xue Yuheng's back collar, his figure was extremely fast, and disappeared on the long street in the blink of an eye.

Xue Yuheng turned his head with difficulty to see who was coming, and was overjoyed: "Jueying!"

When Xue Yuheng left Evernight and decided to travel around, Ling Junxing gave him a gift.

Two black-feathered falcons domesticated by Xiaoqi battalion and used for messengers.

At the beginning, Wen Yu used falcons to communicate with the northern barbarians in the night city, which was convenient and fast.

Ling Junxing took the strengths of others to make up for his own shortcomings, so that Xiaoqiying also secretly domesticated a group of black-feathered hawks.

When Ling Qizhao rebelled, Ling Junxing got in touch with Wei Wuji in Daqin in time through the black-feathered falcon, and it was with the black-feathered falcon that Jueying was able to find Ling Junxing's location smoothly.

Five days ago, when Xue Yuheng escaped from the palace with Qin Luoyu, he asked the black-feathered eagle to send a letter to Luo City for help.

He knew that someone would definitely come to meet him, but he never expected that the person who came to meet him was Jueying!
