Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 103 The Grand Finale (4)
Ouyang Ruo didn't recover after hearing the words for a long time, looked up, and saw Zhao Qingling looking at her with a half-smile, Ouyang Ruo was shocked suddenly, and hurriedly backed away: "You you..." She said For a long time, I couldn't say a word.

Zhao Qingling slowly took off the dragon robe on her body, took off the green jade dragon hairpin on her head, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty has offended you. I have no choice but to forgive you."

Ouyang Ruo turned his eyes to the side, only to see that Chu Huotian was still lying on one side unconsciously, the dragon bed was very big, and Zhao Qingling was half sitting and half lying down, and at this glance, he really didn't see anyone on the bed.

Ouyang Ruo's heart fell to the bottom again, she sat slumped on the chair, staring at Chu Huotian's pale face, with mixed feelings in her heart, thinking, she couldn't help but shed tears.

When Li Jingcai saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Your Majesty, you should punish the servant when you are angry. It is the servant's idea. What you said just now was also spoken by the servant in the voice of the emperor. Madam, hey... Madam, don't cry..."

Zhao Qingling got out of bed, looked at her quietly for a while, then turned around and silently took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to her: "Wipe it on, and the pain on the face will be gone."

Ouyang Ruo raised her tearful eyes, but seeing the pity in Zhao Qingling's eyes, she felt uncomfortable, so she just shook her head.

Zhao Qingling swung Li Jingcai back.Then he squatted down in front of her seriously, stared into her eyes and said quietly: "You believe me. The emperor will definitely wake up, and he will definitely be with you for the rest of his life. You must believe me!"

Ouyang Ruo's tears slowly stopped, looking at Zhao Qingling's handsome and sincere face, she nodded emphatically.She believed in him, and now she is the only one who can believe in him.

Zhao Qingling sighed slightly, wrung a handkerchief and slowly wiped away her tears, then dug out plaster and smoothed it evenly on the wound on her face.

When he was doing these things, he was earnest and persistent, and the fresh scent of medicine came over his face.His hand was gentle and gentle, passing over her face like the gentlest wind.Although Ouyang Ruo felt something was wrong, she couldn't say a word when she met his eyes.

She was scolded by the empress, and when she was seriously injured, he was the one who gave her medicine in undressed clothes and gave her needles to relieve the pain, so she didn't feel disgusted by his touch.

On the contrary, he was like the wind around her, everywhere, but so indifferent that no one could notice his existence.

After finishing these things, Zhao Qingling stood up in satisfaction, and said to her: "Your Majesty, be careful when you meet the Empress in the future, she is eager to get rid of your Empress, and now we have woken up pretending to be the Emperor, I hope the Empress will not make trouble so soon. Tonight, as long as tonight is fine, the emperor should wake up after three days..."

He looked out at the twilight that was gradually closing in, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his heart was crushed by a huge rock and he couldn't breathe.In the morning, the officials begged to see the emperor, and in the evening, the queen made a big noise in the "Manna Palace". More and more things seemed to be pushed into the unfathomable abyss bit by bit by an invisible hand.

……

A black falcon flitted across the dark blue night sky, and landed silently on a tree in an ordinary courtyard like a ghost. Able to glow in the dark.

After a long time, the door finally opened with a "squeak", and a slender figure walked out of it. She seemed to be holding a cup of something in her hand, and knocked on the door of another room.

"Husband, you haven't rested yet, right? I... I have stewed some ginseng soup, you can use some. It can refresh you." She said shyly.

It took a long time for the door to open, and Su Yanqing frowned with an ugly face and said, "How can Madam get these things if she doesn't go to rest? Let's rest early. It's getting late."

Qian Yancui blushed, and murmured: "My husband, why don't you rest. I can't sleep alone. I heard that there are many bandits in Huadi, and I am afraid..." When I first came, I saw Xiao Suo along the road The scene still imprinted the seeds of uneasiness in her mind. Although she had only been in Huadi for two or three months, she was still not used to it.Only by seeing him can she feel safe.

Su Yanqing looked at her slightly terrified eyes, and slowed down her voice: "It's still very safe here, there are still soldiers guarding outside. Don't worry. Go to sleep first."

Only then did Qian Yancui nod her head, and she handed the ginseng soup in front of him, and said seriously: "Husband, let's drink it, this is my wish."

Su Yanqing hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.

Qian Yancui was smiling, and was about to say something more, when suddenly a black shadow approached, she screamed, subconsciously trying to avoid it, Su Yanqing was startled, the crock in her hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly protected her.

But that group of black shadows didn't attack people, just leaned away, and landed in the study room. It folded its wings, and looked coldly at the two people at the door with a pair of eagle eyes.That expression was like that of a proud person.

Qian Yancui screamed repeatedly: "What is this thing, come here, hurry up and drive it away! Come here soon!..." At first sight, she was so frightened that she screamed like a ghost.

Su Yanqing quickly covered her mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Don't bark, this is Xinying. Go back to your room, it's fine."

Only then did Qian Yancui calm down in her panic, and walked slowly while holding her chest.Su Yanqing's eyes darkened, and she slowly stepped forward to grab the falcon, and took off a small wax-sealed iron cylinder from its foot.

Inside was a small piece of jade sword and a note.

After he finished reading, his complexion changed a few times.

……

Qian Yancui fell asleep in a daze. In the dimness, she only felt that he had returned to the room again, as if searching for something, and left quickly.Then there was a long neighing of the horse.

She woke up suddenly: "Husband..." The maid who was on duty at night came in and said hastily, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Qian Yancui only felt her heart pounding: "Where's the general? Where's the general?..." Could it be that he left after the neighing?She struggled to come down to look for it, but the servant girl hurriedly helped her out of bed: "The general has gone out, and he said he would leave for a few days."

Qian Yancui put on a coat, she still couldn't believe it, the servant girl had to help her to the study room, only to see that the inside was in a mess, and the candle was half shattered, she stared blankly at the fragments of earthen pots outside, feeling suddenly desolate in her heart cold.

He actually left without saying goodbye.

She raised her eyes to look at the desk, and saw a small piece of unburned paper, perhaps because the paper was damp, she walked over to take a closer look, and was suddenly so shocked that she couldn't regain her senses for a long time.

"bamboo"!There is only one word left.Slender and soft, just like that person's face, beauty is everywhere.It turned out that he was still for her, and he still couldn't forget her. Even though thousands of miles were separated, in a word, he ran all night for her...

The night wind rushed fiercely on his face, and his heart was as cold as ice and snow in midwinter.

In trouble, I hope you will return!

Difficulty...

What kind of disaster is it that even the emperor and Mr. Zhao can't solve it? !

His mind was in a state of confusion, and the cold wind from the forest couldn't extinguish the various uneasy guesses in his mind that almost forced him to collapse.He was wrong, he should not have left her side.

All the way from Huadi, he was the one who protected her, but now, he abandoned her and left.

The sound of horseshoes hitting his heart one after another, hurry up, hurry up...

The long night was silent, and the dim candlelight flickered in the blur of the room. Ouyang Ruo was extremely tired and fell asleep lying on the side of the bed. Under the faint light was her beautiful silhouette.The long lashes cast a small teal shadow under the lid.

The hand on the side of her face moved slightly, and gradually, that hand was raised.

Chu Huotian's eyes opened slightly, under the dim candlelight, his complexion was pale and his muscles twitched slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain.

He finally groaned and tried his best to prop up his slightly stiff body.

He only felt that he had had a long dream, in which he was poured into bowls of bitter soup, and then there was severe pain in the internal organs, and crying, so painful and heartbreaking.

Someone was calling him: "Huo Lang, Huo Lang..." Yes, it was this voice that kept him waking up!He finally remembered, tried to stand up, turned his head, but saw Ouyang Ruo sleeping beside him.

Even in her dream, her face was sad, Chu Huotian held her face tremblingly, and called softly: "Ruo'er..." Ouyang Ruo's eyelashes trembled twice, is she dreaming?How could he hear him calling her?

"Ruo'er..." His hands stroked her face, and the eyes that hadn't been wet for a long time gradually became watery.Ouyang Ruo raised his head, staring at him with bewildered eyes.

She couldn't help chuckling: "The emperor...is that you?"

The soft words echoed in the empty inner hall, full of caution and uncertainty.Chu Huotian's hand caressed her, Ouyang Ruo was no longer in doubt, but felt the warmth from his palm in a daze.

"Huo Lang! You finally woke up!" She exclaimed and threw herself into his arms.

It's been three days, it's been three days since he was in a coma after he vomited blood for the first time. For three days and three nights, she was in pain like being pricked by a needle day and night.

For three days, she tried her best to analyze the harem with Zhao Qingling, trying to balance every possible disturbance.For three days, she was exhausted, only wishing that he would wake up early, just like now, and call her "Ruo'er".

Now her tears can finally flow unscrupulously, not because of hard work, but because he woke up again, even if God told her to die immediately, she was willing.

Chu Huotian was full of emotions in his heart, and the person in his arms was crying silently, every tear was shed for him.At this moment, he didn't feel that her heart was elusive and hard to find, and he was no longer afraid that she would spread her wings and fly high when he was not paying attention.

All the suffering is worth it.He loves her, and she loves him too.

The two have never been together like this heart to heart.

The two hugged each other silently, and Zhao Qingling who heard the sound stood outside the door, remained silent for a while and finally turned and left.

……

After a while, Ouyang Ruo looked up from his arms with red and swollen eyes.As if she couldn't get enough of it, she never got tired of it, she looked at him carefully, for fear of missing a single trace of his expression.

Chu Huotian's face was moved, and he sighed softly: "Ruo'er, you've lost weight."

Ouyang Ruo said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor vomited so much blood that the concubines were frightened when they saw it..." Thinking of his miserable state for two days, she could hardly speak.

Chu Huotian laughed lightly with a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'm in good health, it's okay to vomit some blood..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, and an abnormal blush appeared on his handsome face.Ouyang Ruo was so frightened that she called for people repeatedly.

Zhao Qingling sneaked in, reached out, grabbed his veins, and nodded after a long while: "That's right, there is still [-]% of the poison, we have to force it slowly, we can't use strong medicine anymore."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Huotian and said with a relaxed smile: "The emperor should thank Weichen for his foresight. He asked the emperor to take the anti-drug pill every day, so he can wake up so early now. If the emperor doesn't wake up today, I will give you a needle. It's on the Emperor's 'Baihui Point'."

Chu Huotian glared at him: "Isn't it possible to die with a needle on the 'Baihui Point'? You are not afraid of destroying the Nine Clans!"

Seeing that he was fine for the time being, Zhao Qingling was slightly relieved, and smiled at him with a smile that was not a smile: "The emperor is wrong, I don't know how many people will come to thank Weichen when the injection is given. How many people are looking forward to the emperor's death?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chu Huotian's expression changed, and Ouyang Ruo's expression also tightened slightly.

After the candles were lit, the silence of the three of them became even more serious.

Chu Huotian pondered for a while before asking: "Who is it?!"

Ouyang Ruo didn't answer, Zhao Qingling snorted coldly, with a gloomy look on her clear face: "Queen Zhao, she is the most suspected at present."

Chu Huotian's body trembled slightly, it was her? !

Just as he was about to say something, Li Jing suddenly stumbled in and ran in: "Madam, Mr. Zhao...ah, the emperor, you finally woke up, this servant is praying for the emperor day and night..." He was about to cry.

Chu Huotian said in a deep voice: "Say it quickly! What's the matter?"

Li Jingcai was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, outside is surrounded by a group of people who don't know where they came from, and the servants can't even find a single imperial guard."

The three people in the hall all said "ah".Ouyang Ruo even lost his voice: "Impossible! How could the Imperial Forest Army disappear? They obey the emperor's orders!"

Chu Huotian and Zhao Qingling looked at each other and said in unison, "Old General Li! Zhao Zhong!"

General Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, must have met with an accident!And Zhao Zhong, who is the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, is a member of the Queen Zhao's family.It's over!Zhao Qingling had thousands of calculations, but she couldn't figure out that the queen's actions were so fast!She must have made up her mind to die!

Chu Huotian's face was ashen, and he roared angrily: "I don't believe that they have the guts to plot rebellion!"

Just at this moment, another servant rolled in from outside, and he was trembling with fright: "Your majesty...the empress empress has brought a large group of people in, and the servants can't stop them!"

He was trembling all over, as long as he was not blind, he would be able to see that the situation was not good, and as the palace servants who served the emperor, they would inevitably suffer from the fish pond.

Seeing that the servant who sent the message was frightened out of place, Li Jing hurriedly drank him down, and said to Chu Huotian: "Your Majesty, this servant will go and have a look." After he finished speaking, he quickly retreated.

For a moment, the three of them felt that their hearts were sinking into the bottomless abyss.Chu Huotian's face was the ugliest, and he said with hatred: "She can't wait for me to die?!"

Zhao Qingling sighed slightly: "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. The empress probably sees that the emperor will come to the throne and vigorously weaken the strength of her family's Zhao family, so she took the risk, and she will die."

Chu Huotian held back his anger, and said angrily: "If I don't weaken their Zhao family, will I repeat the lessons of the previous king and queen? The dictatorship of foreign relatives is a big cancer in the government!"

Zhao Qingling said dumbly: "But now, the queen is repeating the same mistakes of the previous kings and queens."

Poisoning the emperor, and now there is another force to force the palace... The world is so surprisingly similar.People don't know what is the real cause and what is the real effect.

"I don't believe she can turn the world upside down!" Chu Huotian said angrily.The palm slammed on the bed.He was emotional and couldn't help coughing heavily, Ouyang Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him.

"The courtiers and concubines are so overwhelmed, the emperor will know if he tries it." An indifferent voice sounded from the gate of the palace.The three of them looked and saw that the queen was wearing a golden phoenix robe, and she was still wearing the nine phoenix golden crown on her head.But her pale face contained arrogance and contempt.

She glanced up at the three of them, and finally paused at Ouyang Ruo, her eyes were extremely cruel.

"What does the queen want to do? Do you want to kill me now?" Chu Huotian said coldly.Even though her body was highly poisoned, the empress's eyes could not help but shrink back because of her imperial demeanor.

The queen didn't look at him, and snorted: "The concubine is forced to do so. The emperor is so confused by the vixen of Huaguo that he can't even tell the difference between the loyal and the traitor. The concubine is just trying to make the emperor sober!"

When she said this, even Li Jingcai found it ridiculous.Chu Huotian laughed back angrily: "I am not the first emperor. I am not yet old enough to tell who is loyal to me and who is going to poison and frame me. Hui Wan, stop. You and I have been married for more than ten years. Meet like this?"

His last sentence was full of pain, and finally persuaded her.

The queen was taken aback for a moment, her cold and proud eyes were a little confused.He has been married to her for more than ten years. In fact, even though he is cold, he is not bad to her. She gave birth to Da Di Ji, and he still didn't say a bad word.To her, he has always been more respectful than affectionate.

But who has changed?Could it be yourself?
No!No!It can't be me!

It was obvious that he was in love with other women!The monstrous jealousy has completely occupied the queen's head.

She was jealous of him taking good care of her, and she was jealous of his caring for her... Crazy jealousy and persecution by family interests finally led her to this path of no return.

Therefore, she can only go forward and cannot look back!

The queen chuckled coldly, and finally laughed so hard that the phoenix crown on her head almost fell off.

Chu Huotian watched her go crazy coldly, and Ouyang Ruo and Zhao Qingling also watched her go crazy silently.The queen laughed for a while, laughing so hard that she was about to shed tears.

She smiled and said: "Stop?! You, Chu Huotian, have been so arrogant all your life, and there is a day when you beg me to stop."

After she finished speaking, she covered her face, and when she put down her long sleeves, her face had already changed into a cold face, and said with a sneer, "Your majesty is still a man of excellence, and now the entire 'Manna Palace' is surrounded by concubines. The whole The Imperial Forest Army was also transferred out of Chujing by the courtiers and concubines, and the gates of the palace were closed, and the emperor is now like a turtle in a urn, unable to escape."

Chu Huotian's heart trembled, if what the queen said was right, the current situation is really dangerous, but right now he doesn't even have time to think about fear.

He said coldly: "Even if you kill me, how can you convince others? A usurper who is not right and wrong will only make the state of Chu fall apart. At that time, let alone you, it will be your Zhao family who got it." It's just a false name for the throne. And it will let the generals who hold great power from all walks of life take the opportunity to lead troops to denounce it. How can the major families of Chu State submit to your Zhao family? You only got the enemy in the end. Besides, I have been in the army for more than ten years, how can your Zhao family replace it overnight?"

He watched the queen's face becoming more and more ugly and continued: "And do you think you can control me if you can surround my 'Manna Palace'? As long as I am willing, the shadows will naturally protect me from the tens of thousands of troops." Go to the palace!"

The queen's pale face was dripping with cold sweat. She had known his tactics and scheming for a long time, but she didn't expect that the poison in his body was still unabated.

For the first time in her life, besides the relationship between husband and wife, she also had an emotion called fear in her heart, which made her not know what to do.

After Chu Huotian finished speaking, he couldn't stop panting, Ouyang Ruo hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Zhao Qingling saw that the queen was hesitant, and said lightly: "It's better for the queen to think twice. It's too much for the queen to bet on the lives of thousands of people in the entire Zhao family. I still hope that the Queen will rein in the precipice in the end, so as not to make another big mistake."

The queen just stood there silently, turned her head after a long while and said coldly: "The arrow has left the string and there is no room for it to be taken back. I can only gamble from now on."

She suddenly walked a few steps closer, looked at Ouyang Ruo and said with a grinning grin: "From now on, I bet that the emperor will not let you go, and he and your child!"

She laughed loudly, turned around and left, and threw a cold sentence at them: "The emperor is poisoned, and if there is no antidote, he will die soon. Besides, the emperor still has his beloved, when the time comes, all arrows will be fired." , The concubine sees if the emperor is really a heartless person. Abandoning her orphans and widows, haha..."

After she finished speaking, she threw a piece of brocade silk to Li Jingcai who was at the side, and walked away.

Chu Huotian was so angry that his face turned pale, Ouyang Ruo was even shaken by her words, Xiao Linxiang and Xiao Yingzhou! !God!What should they do? !

Ouyang Ruo's heart was in turmoil, and her heart was beating thumpingly.
