Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 42
"Yun Qing knows a little bit about it, and I'm afraid I won't get into the eyes of the emperor!" Hearing his obvious dissatisfaction, Yun Qing had no choice but to bow her head and accept her fate.

"The empress is too modest, let's go!" Xuanyuan Ze took the lead in tossing his robe, striding across Yunqing towards the gazebo. Chang Le had already ordered people to quickly fetch the chess pieces, and ordered the attendants to prepare some snacks and fruit plates. .

When Yun Qing and Xuanyuan Ze were sitting opposite each other around the chessboard, Ning Er, who happened to be passing by the Imperial Garden, was surprised at first, then hurriedly lowered her head and quickened her pace, quickly walked to the distant palace pillars, and looked curiously at the gazebo .

She saw that the emperor and the queen were playing chess and chatting about something.Although the distance was far away, she couldn't see the expressions of the two of them clearly, but she could tell that the two of them seemed to be in harmony, far from their previous indifferent attitude.

She was suspicious and couldn't hear their conversation, so she turned around quietly and walked quickly to Zhuhua Palace.

"I remember that the queen said the day before yesterday that she wanted me to find out the mastermind of this assassin. I will tell the queen today that I have ordered people to find out some relevant clues!" Xuanyuanze said casually while playing chess.

He just wanted to tell her about the assassin, but she actually wanted to misrepresent her meaning, which made him very depressed.

Today, news came from the Ministry of Punishment, saying that the assassins who had been tried were ordered by others. As long as they sneaked into the palace and killed the queen, that person would pay them a large sum of money.

The assassin only said that the person who connected with them was a middle-aged man, but he didn't know the specific identity.

They can't know anything else!
"Oh, so fast?" Yun Qing didn't expect that he would take the initiative to tell himself these things. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help guessing: if the person behind the scenes he found hadn't shown up yet, then it was, The other party was not who she thought he was at all.

"Well, after several days of interrogation by the servant of the Ministry of Justice, it has been found that the person who bribed the assassin is actually an official in court. After further investigation, I believe that the person behind the scenes that the queen is looking for can be found!" Xuanyuanze's chess style was suddenly fierce, accompanied by his sudden sharp gaze, Yun Qing was startled, seeing that the situation on the chessboard had changed drastically.

"Official? Who is that?" Yun Qing never imagined that the man was so supernatural that he had already bribed officials to murder him in just a short time!
But if it wasn't for her, then who would be so deliberate in wanting to kill herself?
"It's just an editor of the Hanlin Academy. His official rank is not high. He is an assassin he hired. He has been put in prison. I believe that the purpose of assassinating the queen will be tried soon!" Xuanyuan Ze stared at Yun. Qing's chess piece, which has been waiting for a long time, suddenly smiled and said: "Queen, don't worry, since I have said that I will give the queen an explanation, this time I will never tolerate and raise rape!"

Looking at his firm eyes, Yun Qing's heart moved, is this his promise to her?If so, it seems a bit heavy.

The surrounding air was suddenly deep, and the surrounding flowers were constantly swaying with the light breeze.

Under his straight gaze, she silently lowered her eyes.

Looking at the chessboard on the stone table, he slowly stretched out his hand, and fell silent.

"The Queen's chess move really stumps me! I don't think the Queen is quick in writing and has a beautiful flute sound. This chess is also played with precision and ease." Xuanyuanze held a black stone in his hand, looked at the chess game, and couldn't help He raised his eyes and stared deeply at the delicate and beautiful face in front of him.

When he gets closer to her, he can always discover her hidden wisdom, and every time, there is always a side that surprises him.

"Where is it that the emperor's chess is too fierce, pressing Yun Qing every step of the way, Yun Qing has no choice but to take risks every step of the way." Facing those deep eyes without fear, Yun Qing hides a hint of darkness in them. reward.

From the trend of his chess game, she can see that he has gradually changed from a calm and calm chess style to a vigorous and vigorous one almost instantly. If she responds lightly, she will only be cornered under his blockade .

She had no choice but to launch an offensive, turning retreat into advance step by step, so that she could barely protect herself from being engulfed by him under his fierce chess style.

She suddenly discovered that this game of chess was just like her position in the palace. After he ignored him at the beginning and pressed him later, she had no choice but to go up against the wind.

Perhaps, she will still lose to him, but judging from the current relationship between the two, as long as she maintains a balanced and peaceful way of getting along with him, she will be safe and sound.

Only when she is safe can she protect the people around her!In order to prevent the person you want to protect from getting hurt because of yourself.

"Oh, that makes sense!" The corners of his lips raised slightly, Xuanyuan Ze watched the chess game for a long time, and suddenly dropped a piece in the center of the white piece that Yun Qing was protecting, which made Yun Qing dumbfounded, but he was smiling Said: "Only in this way can I maintain peace with the queen's chess game!"

The last move he made was a let go in the chess language!But when he came down like this, it didn't mean that.

It was beyond her expectation that he could use such a move, but she couldn't help but marvel, he was such a genius.

This move seems to be full of dangers, but in fact it is majestic. He has the wisdom to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, and also has the understanding that only when he is perfect can he survive.

Suddenly, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the nose.He was laughing, she was in a daze.

Seeing the rare look of surprise in her eyes, Xuanyuanze's mood is better than before!

Maybe she will still reject him, but he believes that in her eyes, he will eventually become the only one who touches her heart!

He is not in a hurry, just like her beauty needs to be discovered slowly, his talent will slowly impress her.

When the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, everything returns to peace.

There was a melodious flute sound coming from a distance, and Yun Qing, who was waking up in his sleep, could tell that it was a tune composed by himself.

When I looked at the sky, I wanted to continue to sleep again, but the sound of the flute seemed to be a little hurried, not as natural as usual.

Thinking of that handsome young man, Yun Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised, why didn't he go to bed so late?

Hearing his melody was not smooth, high and low at times, it didn't seem like he was blowing a tune, it seemed that he was using the sound of the flute to convey some uneasy mood.

Yun Qing thought that his health had been bad all the time, the night was darker now, Imperial Physician Hua was not in the palace, and he lived alone in the palace, thinking that if he needed anything, he didn't even have an attendant by his side.

I wanted to let people go and have a look, but considering that his temperament is very cold, even if ordinary people ask him, he will refuse people thousands of miles away.

With a helpless sigh, she put on her clothes and got up, deciding to go and see for herself.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, where are you going?" Since the last assassination incident, Xuanyuan Ze sent additional guards to the Golden Phoenix Palace, and the Empress Dowager also formally transferred her powerful bodyguard Murong Chong to protect Yun Qing Safety.

Murong Chong followed her closely, as if he would follow her wherever she went.

"Ning Xin Palace!" Yun Qing responded softly, then walked forward.

Murong Chong was startled for a moment, then saw her leaving back, and quickly followed her.

The sound of the flute continued, and when Yun Qing came outside the palace wall, the faster and faster melody made her eyebrows twitch slightly; just as she was secretly suspicious, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, making Yun Qing's eyelids twitch Jump, followed by hearing a hoarse growl from the garden, which made Murong Chongyi's heart skip a beat, and quickly stepped forward to protect Yun Qing's side.

"Murong Chong, go in and have a look." Yun Qing was shocked, not knowing what happened to the people inside, so he could only order Murong Chong to go in and have a look.

Murong Chong remained motionless, worried that if he left, it would be dangerous to leave her alone at this moment.

"Ah!!!" There was another terrifying roar, accompanied by the sound of a tree being broken, Yun Qing became more and more anxious, and hurriedly ordered: "Murong Chong, I order you to go in quickly. Let's see what happened to King Anqing, if you don't obey the order again, don't blame me for committing crimes on you!"

"Your Majesty..." Murong Chong looked troubled, and under Yun Qing's eager gaze, he finally clasped his fists together and said, "Your subordinate is rude!" Then he quickly grabbed Yun Qing and brought Yun Qing up. After skimming up to the palace wall, Yun Qing was startled, and he had brought her safely inside the palace wall.

"Ah!" Yun Qing saw the mess in the pear garden the moment Murong Chong brought her to the ground.At this moment, the white figure was constantly destroying the trees in the garden like crazy. In front of him and behind him, several pear trees had fallen down, and his clothes were also torn.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yi like this, Yun Qing still couldn't help but let out a scream, and Xuanyuan Yi, who turned around after hearing the sound, saw her at a glance, and stared at her with those red eyes, as if Yun Qing was a delicious meal. Swallow her in one gulp.

Yun Qing felt cold all over, this Xuanyuan Yi was very similar to the Xuanyuan Yi who almost hurt her that time, even at this time he was even crazier than last time, his whole person gave off a kind of demon-like terror, which made her unable to control herself He leaned heavily towards Murong Chong who was beside him.

"My lord?" Murong Chong subconsciously blocked Yun Qing behind him, and he was also slightly startled when he saw that King An Qing, who was usually cold and calm, turned out to be so weird.

However, Xuanyuan Yi didn't pay attention to him, just froze there, desperately restraining the crazy bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

"Murong Chong, hurry up and take your master away!" Just when the surrounding atmosphere was freezing cold, Xuanyuan Yi's shocking hoarse voice broke the silence, causing Yun Qing's heart to tremble. Recalling that time, he did the same Trying to restrain a kind of pain that puzzled her, he urged her to go.

But now, he once again suppressed Murong Chong to take him away. Could it be that he was afraid that he would hurt him?
However, seeing him in such pain, if she left, would he continue to hurt himself crazily like before?

Her heart tightened suddenly, and she suddenly understood why he lived alone in a palace in Ruoda.

Just like he was afraid that he would hurt himself that time, he must be afraid that such a him would hurt other people.

"King Anqing, what's the matter with you? Is there anything I can do for you?" When Murong Chong was hesitant to take Yun Qing away, she shook her head, worried about leaving Xuanyuan Yi alone.

He was seriously ill beyond her imagination, but now, she discovered another side of him that made people feel more distressed.

He was one year younger than himself. Although he was a prince, he lived alone in such a cold palace. Even in places where others could not see, he had to endure unbearable torture for ordinary people.

She suddenly couldn't imagine, if the Queen Mother knew, how would it hurt her as a mother to see her son suffer so much?
From the way the queen mother looks at him every time, she can be sure that the queen mother loves him very much.But what happened to make him become like this?
"Let me go!" His fingers were getting colder and colder, but his chest was getting hotter and hotter. A numbness like ants gnawed at his heart was constantly attacking his mind.

Xuanyuan Yi gritted his teeth tightly, forced out these three words.

He didn't know how long he could last, he had endured it for so many years, he didn't want to break his determination again, and he didn't want to hurt others again.

"Okay, I'll help you invite Imperial Physician Hua into the palace!" Seeing Xuanyuan Yi's pained look, Yun Qing couldn't leave resolutely.The only thing she could think of was that he must have suffered from a strange disease which caused the strange phenomenon. At this moment, sending someone to send the Hua imperial doctor to the palace might be of some help to him.

"Murong Chong, you stay here to prevent the prince from hurting yourself again, I'll send the imperial doctor over here." Thinking, Yun Qing gave an order to Murong Chong beside him, then turned and ran to the side door in the distance, letting Murong Chong Surprised, she quickly stepped forward to protect her: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

However, his voice has slowed down a step.

Xuanyuan Yi, who had been suppressing the impulsiveness in his heart all the time, just as Yun Qing left, his body was already flying straight forward like an arrow from the string, and he grabbed it with one hand...

"Hiss!" Yun Qing only felt a pain in her shoulder, the clothes on her shoulder had been torn apart by Xuanyuan Yi who flew over suddenly, and his nails scratched her shoulder.

"Niang Niang!" Murong Chong was startled in his heart, and quickly pulled Yun Qing's body, and the other hand was as fast as lightning, and struck Xuanyuan Yi quickly, only to narrowly bring Yun Qing back behind him, and followed Xuanyuan Yi quickly fighting together.

Yun Qing's face was pale, and she was a little lost in shock from Xuanyuan Yi's sudden attack just now.When she regained her senses, she remembered that she should leave as soon as possible to serve Xuanyuan Yi as an imperial physician.

She looked at the two people blocking the way, but couldn't find a chance to go out for a moment, and she didn't dare to pass by them rashly, so she had to stay where she was anxiously.

Xuanyuan Yi suddenly smelled the bloody aura coming from Yun Qing's shoulders in the air, and his inner demons arose for a moment, and Murong Chong was almost overwhelmed by his fierce skills.

The other party was the prince, although Murong Chong could block him from hurting the queen, he didn't dare to hurt him by mistake.

But the other party was just the opposite, at this time Xuanyuan Yi had almost lost all reason, and his moves were so fierce that he almost couldn't resist.

"Your Majesty, get out of here quickly." Seeing Yun Qing still staying where he was, Murong Chong was impatient for a moment, and hurriedly urged him.

He was worried that if he could not control the prince, the queen would be very dangerous.

But who knows, at the moment when he urged Yun Qing, there was a flash in front of his eyes, Xuanyuan Yi had already slapped him hard on the chest quickly, followed by a flash of white shadow, and the whole person had already flew towards the queen.

"Ah!" Yun Qing was startled, subconsciously retreated, but it was not as fast as Xuanyuan Yi's lightning speed, only felt his body lighten up, and Xuanyuan Yi had grasped his whole body, and galloped towards the palace quickly.

"My lord, don't hurt your empress!" Murong Chong was in a hurry, he hurriedly followed and chased after him, but because of Xuanyuan Yi's palm just now, his true energy was scattered a little, and he was left far away in the blink of an eye.

How could Xuanyuan Yi listen to his dissuasion, he felt his heart was beating so fast that it was about to rush out of his chest, that bit of atrium that was being gnawed, coexisted with pain and heat, numbness and itching, a kind of desire for blood made him Almost wanted to destroy the whole world.

The inside of the hall was even darker than the outside, Yun Qing felt his vision suddenly dimmed, and then there was a sound of plopping, and Xuanyuan Yi pushed his whole body down heavily to the cold ground.

"Ah!" Her heart was horrified, she felt his body was extremely stiff, trembling slightly, with one hand firmly pressing on her shoulder; there was a bit of pain at the place where he scratched it just now.

However, just as she was about to push him away, she felt that his hand was exerting force again, with such a force that it almost broke her shoulder bones.

"Xuanyuan Yi, you, what's the matter with you?" Enduring the extreme pain, Yun Qing took a deep breath to try to stabilize her mind, but her voice couldn't help trembling slightly.

At this moment, he is so evil that she is afraid.If she didn't know his good nature, she would have fainted from his fright.

But he didn't hear his answer, only breathing more and more heavily around her face.She could feel his body trembling more and more, which seemed to show that he was trying to suppress himself.

She couldn't help holding her breath, she didn't know what to do under his appalling abnormality.

"Your Majesty!" Hearing Murong Chong calling out at the door, Yun Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly replied, "I'm...uh..."

However, her voice was quickly sealed by a pair of fiery lips, causing her eyes to widen in horror and her heartbeat to stop.

"Your Majesty!" Murong Chong was startled when he heard the sound, and then rushed forward quickly, but when he saw such a scene, without thinking about it, he stamped Xuanyuan Yi's back with his palm, causing him to spit out a big mouthful of blood with a puff. It directly splashed Yun Qing's face.

"Ah!" Yun Qing tightly closed her eyes, when Murong Chong quickly touched Xuanyuan Yi's acupoints, she felt a weight on her body, and Xuanyuan Yi's body was completely pressed against her.

"Niang Niang..." Murong Chong was terrified, he didn't care about the injured Xuanyuan Yi, he hurriedly pulled Xuanyuan Yi away, and picked Yun Qing up from the ground.But at this moment, Yun Qing was almost petrified.

"Your Majesty, are you alright? Your Majesty!" Murong Chong was also quite frightened, and seeing Yun Qing's silent and motionless appearance, he couldn't help being anxious.

Regardless of Xuanyuan Yi who was injured on the ground, he hugged Yun Qing in his arms and wanted to take her back to Jinfeng Palace.

"I'm fine, Murong Chong, let me down quickly!" Just as he rushed out of the palace gate with Yun Qing, Yun Qing suddenly came back to his senses.Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, and then carefully put her down under her vigorous struggle.

As soon as Yun Qing landed, he turned around and ran back to Xuanyuan Yi, and told Murong Chong, "Murong Chong, go and tell the Queen Mother what happened here, so that the Queen Mother can quickly invite Hua Tai Physician into the palace to treat King Anqing. go!"

"But what about you, ma'am?" Murong Chong followed anxiously, seeing that Yun Qing wanted to help Xuanyuan Yi up from the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and helped him to lie down on a reclining chair in the hall first.

"I'm fine. He's been restrained by you. I believe he'll be fine for the time being. Go quickly and let the Queen Mother send someone to pick up Imperial Physician Hua into the palace, and then come back quickly." Yun Qing pushed Murong Chong to go quickly, and walked back to the palace by herself. , Fumbled out the flint to light the candle.

"Well, my lady will take care of the prince first, and the subordinate will be back soon!" Murong Chong looked back at Yun Qing worriedly, and then thought that the prince will not break through the acupoints in a short time, then his figure flashed, Quickly disappeared outside the hall.

"Xuanyuan Yi, how are you doing?" Yun Qing walked to Xuanyuan Yi's side, looked at him under the candlelight, his complexion was pale, with red eyes and blood stains just sprayed from his lips, the whole person was so strange that she was a little scared.

After hearing her words, Xuanyuan Yi just closed his eyes weakly, as if he didn't have any consciousness, except for his chest heaving vigorously, his whole body seemed lifeless.

Yun Qing felt pity in her heart, thinking of his pain just now, her eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.

"Wait for me a while!" Looking at the blood stains on his face, she remembered that her own face should also be covered with his blood, so she rushed into the inner hall to find a towel, and then went outside to bring half a bucket of clean water , carefully cleaned the blood stains on his face.

When the cold water touched his cheeks, Xuanyuan Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his closed eyes slowly opened.Seeing that beautiful face that was also stained with blood focusing on wiping it for himself, his heart warmed up. Although the pain in his heart was still burning, it was much less painful than before.

"You have blood on your own face." Yun Qing was inexplicably startled by his sudden hoarse voice, and when she understood what he said, she couldn't help but smiled and said happily, "I'm fine, how are you?" , is it seriously hurt?"
