The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 137

"Who is here?"

Empress Dowager Qi's voice came from inside.

"Queen Mother, it's the third lady and the fifth lady who are here."

Ling took off her cloak, and Yiren hurriedly took over and put the warm hand stove into Ling's hand, but Ling refused. The charcoal fire in the room was so hot that it didn't feel cold at all.

"Please come in quickly!" Empress Dowager Qi said happily, and after a while, the curtain was raised, and Ling Shi led Su Han in slowly. .

"Come on, come on, let Ai's family take a look, I haven't seen you for more than five months, you are lucky with such a big belly."

Empress Dowager Qi hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair, and Ling did not refuse. After not seeing her for a few months, Empress Dowager Qi was obviously much older, with drooping corners of her eyes, but her bright eyes were still shining with love and smiling.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, come and have a look." Ling didn't mention how it was reported outside the palace, she must not be able to hide it from Empress Dowager Qi, who rushed here in the wind and snow with such a big belly, Empress Dowager Qi looked down upon her. Eye Suhe.

"Go and ask the small kitchen to make some plum blossom crisps, soak two cups of Liu'an melon slices, and Sister Han's favorite crispy rolls, let Fu Fu make it, her craftsmanship is unmatched by anyone."

"Yes!" Su He made a note and backed out.

Empress Dowager Qi waved at Su Han, "I haven't seen you in a few months, I've grown taller, I'll be 13 years old."

Su Han obediently sat beside Empress Dowager Qi, and softly called her aunt, which almost melted Empress Dowager Qi's heart.

Empress Dowager Qi was in poor health, she had been lying down for a few months, and her expression was always sluggish. When the third lady came, she immediately smiled, and she became more energetic.

Suddenly there was a scream in the ear, and Empress Dowager Qi frowned displeased.

"Empress Dowager, it was Liu Xu'er who made a mistake and was punished by her aunt and was not convinced, so she insisted on asking you to reason." Su Ya explained.

Empress Dowager Qi frowned even tighter, "In the past, it was a bit of fun to play around with, but I'm getting more and more out of control. I told you not to be polite, and you don't have to go into the inner hall to serve you when you turn around."

"Yes." Su Ya replied, she didn't know what Liu Xu'er made a mistake today, she insisted on going closer, which spoiled the Queen Mother's interest, and deserved to be punished.

Empress Dowager Qi didn't take Liu Xu'er seriously, so Ling's naturally wouldn't make trouble. The two aunts and nephews talked and laughed, as if they were back in the past.

Ling stroked her stomach, subconsciously glanced out the window, her heart beat involuntarily.

All was well until the afternoon, and Empress Dowager Qi was also in good spirits today. She spent lunch with Ling Shi and Su Han in a daze, and asked someone to set up a chessboard for them to play chess.

Su Han watched from the side, and heard the sound of footsteps, step by step.

"Quick! You go over there, you all come here."

Ling's family paused for a while, Empress Dowager Qi squinted her eyes, she didn't hear anything outside the window, and her speed was unhurried and leisurely.

"Sister Han, go out and have a look, what's bothering Ai's ears is not clean."

Su Han nodded, "Yes."

A line of soldiers outside the gate neatly surrounded the Cihe Palace, with machetes on their waists, shining coldly.

"Liu Duwei! What's the matter?" Su Han pretended to be surprised.

Captain Liu Duwei glanced back at Su Han, and said calmly, "Miss Su, there are assassins in the palace, and His Royal Highness Prince Rui is sending people to look for them. It's better for you not to come out, so as not to be frightened."

Su Han closed the window as if startled, and sneered.

That excuse is really bad enough.

Princess Lianjun hurried over, her face turned pale, "What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers outside the door?"

Empress Dowager Qi sat on a chair as steadily as a pine and cypress, dressed simply, and held a sunspot in her hand. After dropping one, she turned and glanced at Concubine Meng who was beside Princess Lianjun.

"I haven't seen the concubine for more than ten years, and she hasn't changed at all. Unlike the Ai family, I don't know how many days are left to live." Empress Dowager Qi sighed.

Concubine Meng was a little disappointed, she only entered the palace to have a look when she heard that the old bitch was dying.

"Why do you have to curse yourself, empress dowager? You are the most honorable person in Eastern Chu, and the people of Eastern Chu will pray for you." Dowager Meng took a deep breath and said slowly.

However, the Ling family knew a little about the grievances between the two. Concubine Meng was once a candidate for a show girl, and it was Empress Dowager Qi who personally rejected Concubine Meng. When she was young, Concubine Meng was very beautiful, with an arrogant personality, and she was used to eating and drinking since she was a child. After suffering, I am determined to climb up.Marrying the old prince of Lianjun was originally unwilling, and he had been a widow for most of his life. It's no wonder he didn't hate the empress dowager Qi.

Outside the door, there was more and more commotion, and there was no exaggeration in the room at all. Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Meng chatted one after another, and Ling Shi agreed with each other from time to time, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

As night fell, people in the house were allowed in but not allowed out.

Qing Shu walked in with an ugly expression, "The emperor was stabbed by an assassin, and the imperial physician is doing his best to rescue him."

"What?" Empress Dowager Qi was taken aback, shaking her body, "How is the emperor doing now?"

Qing Shu shook his head, "The Palace of Political Affairs is guarded, unable to enter, unable to inquire about the news inside, the ministers are also imprisoned in the side hall, the master sent someone to ask about the situation of the madam, he has been detained, Fortunately, the servant girl ran fast."

"This evil!" Empress Dowager Qi turned pale with anger, but Concubine Meng had a smile on her lips. Even the Princess of the County was so frightened that she wanted to remind her but she didn't dare. Is Concubine Meng taking pleasure in other's misfortune?Even if the Queen Mother is offended, Concubine Meng will not even think about getting out of this room.

An hour later, there was a sound of weapons melting in my ear, roaring, and the flames filled half of the sky.

"Come on, the assassin has escaped, search for this general, and don't let any one go, if anyone obstructs, tie him up!"

"Yes!"

Ling Shi became more and more uneasy, reflecting the shadow of swords and swords, her face turned slightly pale.

boom!
The palace gate was broken open, and Prince Rui came hurriedly, as if something was chasing him, and after a while, the figure of the crown prince also appeared.

"Come on, Prince Rui committed the crime of rebellion with the intention of treason, let this king catch him, if the rest surrender and surrender, this king can ignore the past and give him a lighter punishment."

Qi Jin, with a large group of generals behind him, stood outside the Cihe Palace and shouted.Empress Dowager Qi closed her eyes suddenly and let out a long sigh.

"Fart! You are the one who deliberately plotted rebellion. You are damned for bringing so many soldiers into the palace openly. This king was ordered to arrest the assassin."

Prince Rui was forced to a corner, clutching his bloody arm, Qi Jin's sudden appearance really surprised him, obviously he had already suppressed the news, who was betraying him and leaking the news?
Qi Jin sneered, and took out a bright yellow imperial decree from her bosom, "Look, everyone, this king is the crown prince of a country personally appointed by the emperor, and Prince Rui dares to take advantage of this king's absence, lead troops to force the palace, tamper with the imperial decree, and put ministers under house arrest. Surrounding the Cihe Palace, isn’t this plotting treason or what? If you are stubborn and co-conspiracy, you will implicate the nine clans!”

Prince Rui gritted his teeth, "Mr. Ji, what should we do now?"

Ji Chang made up his mind, took a step forward, and raised his voice, "Don't be fooled by the prince, brothers, the reinforcements are coming soon, and the opportunity is right in front of you, put down your weapons obediently, and follow the prince, since ancient times They are all established, and the eldest prince is born noble. He is the most suitable king. Today, he was ordered to arrest the assassin, and he did not want the prince to misunderstand. The crown prince wants to get rid of the eldest prince, and deliberately finds reasons to frame him, brothers, we swear to follow the eldest prince to the death!"

"Follow the First Prince to the death! Defend the First Prince to the death!"

Shouting in unison, Prince Rui heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at Qi Jin triumphantly.

Qi Jin's face was gloomy and ugly. He had limited soldiers and horses, not as good as Prince Rui. Most of them were escorted by him at his own discretion and rushed back for several days. King Rui left more than half of the soldiers and horses stationed outside the palace gate. Once Qi Jin is supported, there is no certainty that he will win against Prince Rui.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Prince Rui, you must seize the opportunity, take advantage of the present.

"Presumptuous! This king is of decent blood, how can I tolerate your sophistry, come, and bring down the rebellious ministers and thieves to this king!" Qi Jin drew his sword and signaled, the weapons fused, sparks flew, and the corpse was scattered across the field. The bloody smell is strong and lingering.

The faces of the people in the room turned pale with fright, and Su Han held his heart tightly.

More than 20 hidden guards of the Cihe Palace appeared one after another, blocking the last door of the Cihe Palace.

Prince Rui retreated while fighting, getting closer and closer to the Palace of Compassion and Harmony, and seeing that he was about to be unbearable, Qi Jin smiled complacently, and he would no longer have any worries after killing Prince Rui.

"My lord, it's late!"

"His Royal Highness, it's not good, the imperial concubine has been held hostage."

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously, and Prince Rui's eyes lit up, "Good! Good! Good! General Liu has worked hard."

"Bastard! What are you talking about?" Qi Jin's veins twitched violently, and he drew his sword and directly stabbed the guard who sent the message. When he drew out the red sword, blood was splashed all over his body, and his eyes were ferocious and gloomy.

"Haha, third brother, you'd better catch him without a fight. For the sake of brother, big brother will leave you a whole body."

Prince Rui no longer backed down, with reinforcements, his back was straightened.

Qi Jin sneered, "Brother, you think highly of yourself, come on, Jin Wuwei!"

Prince Rui's expression suddenly changed, "Father is really partial, actually gave Jin Wuwei to you?"

"This king is the crown prince of a country, what's so strange about it, unlike you, who made trouble, come, capture Prince Rui alive for this king!"

Qi Jin summoned hundreds of Jinwu Guards, who used to be the secret guards to protect the emperor's safety, each of them was capable of one enemy against a hundred, with high martial arts skills and extremely concealed whereabouts.

"Our crown prince really went all out for the throne, he didn't even want his own mother and concubine." Prince Rui sneered, so what if there was Jin Wuwei, he would still be destroyed,

"Bang bang, bang bang!"

The scene was chaotic again, Prince Rui had already made preparations, formed a team of high-class archers, quickly aimed at the figure, pulled the string and released the arrow, bang bang, people fell down one after another.

"Prince, get out of the way, the arrow is poisonous!"

Qi Jin's complexion changed slightly, and he grabbed a person and stood in front of him, poof, two arrow feathers pierced through, the man's eyes widened before he had time to react, the blood from the corner of his mouth slowly flowed, Qi Jin let go and fell down down.

"Prince, let's retreat quickly, Prince Rui has too many people, if we stay any longer, the whole army might be wiped out."

"That's right, Crown Prince, let's avoid it for now. Prince Rui obviously came prepared. We can't resist it. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Jin Wuwei fell one after another, Qi Jin had no idea, he would definitely not be reconciled to leaving like this.

Qi Jin glanced at Ji Chang who was beside Prince Rui, "Who is that person? Why have I never heard of it before? This person is very scheming. Prince Rui's actions are so thorough and he must be helped by others. With his brain, he will never Most of the soldiers and horses will be stationed outside the city, digging a hole for this king! How unreasonable!"

Qi Jin knew Prince Rui very well, and would definitely concentrate all his troops in the palace. Unexpectedly, half of them were left, even Jin Wuwei was vulnerable. Qi Jin hesitated, he was unwilling to leave like this.

"Prince, Lord Ji is here!"

Someone shouted.

Looking back, Qi Jin saw that Ji Wuyou was wearing a black cloak reflecting the firelight, making him even more dignified, with a cold face and striding forward.

"Master Ji, someone is making trouble, go and catch him!"

Qi Jin was overjoyed, Ji Wuyou was the minister of the Ministry of War, how could he be forgotten?There are still many Jingwei under Ji Wuyou.

Prince Rui narrowed his eyes, glanced at Ji Wuyou, and smiled contemptuously.

Ji Wuyou glanced at Ji Chang who was behind Prince Rui, his eyes became colder.

"Prince Rui, I would like to remind you that it is still too late to stop."

"My lord, don't believe his nonsense. If you become a celebrity, you will be a celebrity for thousands of years. Once the crown prince gains power, he will never let you go." Ji Chang reminded.

"Mr. Ji, of course this king knows. Ji Wuyou, you don't need to waste your time talking. You don't have to drink a toast. This king has invited you several times, but you don't know what to do. Today, don't blame this king for not being sympathetic. Come on, come on." !"

Ji Wuyou looked at Ji Chang coldly, and raised his lips, "Capture Prince Rui alive! All other traitors will be shot to death!"

The two weapons intersected again, Qi Jin backed away, Ji Wuyou was a cunning man, definitely not someone to mess with.

"Prince? Do you want to go up and help?"

Qi Jin shook her head, "No, let's observe and observe first, what's going on at the Yizheng Hall?"

"The emperor is injured, I'm afraid it will die, but it's the imperial concubine's place"

Qi Jin paused, and said angrily, "Where is Concubine De?"

"There is no shadow of Concubine De for the time being."

"Look for it as soon as possible, the imperial concubine's place, keep it if you can, don't distract too many people."

The guard paused, then nodded, "Yes."

Qi Jin didn't bring many people with her. Concubine Liu Gui was arrested, so Qi Jin could only try her best to save Concubine Liu. For the sake of her position, Qi Jin could only temporarily give up Concubine Liu. When he captured Prince Rui, he would definitely kill Prince Rui himself to replace Concubine Liu. revenge!
The fight here was in full swing, bows and arrows were shot in all directions, Ji Wuyou suddenly discovered that Ren Du's second meridian had been closed, and his Qi and blood flowed backwards, and suddenly a mouthful of black blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth.

Ji Chang smiled proudly, "Ji Wuyou, it's not that simple for a hero to save the beauty, don't waste your efforts."

"Despicable!" Ji Wuyou's lips slowly turned black, he clutched his chest tightly, trying to suppress the poison in his chest, the breath in his body moved very fast, Ji Qi retreated while fighting, and flew around Ji Wuyou.

"Master? Are you like this?"

Ji Wuyou's face was dark, he gritted his teeth, and looked at Ji Chang with sharp eyes.

"Don't look at me like this. When you kicked me out, you should have felt my feelings at that time. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Rui didn't dislike me. Otherwise, today's Ji Chang would starve to death on the street." Ji Chang discarded Wen Runer in the past. With an elegant appearance, she smiled evilly.

"It turns out that there are still such things, Mr. Ji, just rest assured, the king will definitely help you take back the entire Ji family in the future."

Prince Rui laughed loudly, and patted Ji Chang on the shoulder, "Today, this king can have Mr. Ji's guidance, and with this kind of love, this king will never treat Mr. badly."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord." Ji Chang said, turned around, and looked at Prince Rui, "My lord, I have a plan to make Ji Wuyou surrender voluntarily."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Prince Rui asked with a smile.

Ji Wuyou's eyelids suddenly twitched heavily, with an ominous premonition.

Ji Chang glanced at the palace behind him, "Your Highness only needs to invite Miss Su Wu."

"Ji Chang!" Ji Wuyou gritted his teeth, his jade-colored face was full of eagerness, and he clutched his chest tightly, precariously.

"Master Ji, you must not let this rebellious person go just because of the love of your children." Qi Jin hurriedly stopped Ji Wuyou, who glanced at Qi Jin, "If the prince has this heart, why don't you send the All the guards from the Palace of Political Affairs have been transferred here?"

Qi Jin choked, "Master Ji is at this time, there should be no more disagreements between you and me, the imperial father is dying, which is more important."

"My lord!" Ji Chang reminded, Ji Wuyou was clearly delaying time, but even if he was delaying time, no one could come out to save him!

"Come here, invite Miss Su!" Prince Rui firmly believed in Ji Chang, and ordered to the guards.

"Presumptuous! Are you going to kill Ai's family too?" Empress Dowager Qi walked out of the room trembling, pointing at Prince Rui angrily, "Prince Rui, you have disappointed Ai's family too much."

Prince Rui's expression did not change, "Come on, please invite the Queen Mother to recuperate soon, your brain won't work well when you are old, I am your eldest grandson."

Empress Dowager Qi trembled angrily, "I'll see who dares!"

"Empress Dowager, you are too partial. Qi Jin and I are both your own grandsons. Why do you want to dote on Qi Jin just like your father? I am the eldest prince of the Eastern Chu Dynasty." Prince Rui said excitedly. As soon as the Empress Dowager came out, on the other side, Concubine De pointed at Ling with a sharp knife and slowly walked out, Empress Dowager Qi's eyes widened in surprise.

"you!"

Concubine De pursed her lips, "Empress Dowager, the concubine has no other choice."

Prince Rui laughed out loud, God really helped me.

The whole room was full of people long before Empress Dowager Qi walked out of the room. Concubine De came from the tunnel to the guards to control Ling Shi. Ling Shi had a big belly. Su Han didn't dare to mess around and froze the sharp knife in Concubine De's hand for fear of The shaking hurt Ling Shi.

Ling came out slowly, dark and calm, not afraid at all.

"Third Madam, if you are obedient and obedient, I will definitely not touch you. When my son ascends the throne and the Su Ling family claims military power, I will still treat you like a guest of honor. How offending you are."

Ling's lips curled up, "Your Majesty, you have to be careful, you hurt the child in my stomach. I will try my best to find your Majesty, and it won't be good if the gain outweighs the loss."

Concubine De smiled, "Come on, help the Third Madam to go in and rest, and show it to me. Empress Dowager, can you please?"

Concubine De took advantage of her weaknesses, one was General Ling's daughter, the other was General Ling's own sister, as for Su Ting, let alone Su Ting, as long as Prince Rui controls today's scene, why not get the world?

The Su Ling family had no choice but to hand over the military power obediently.

"Empress Dowager, the third lady is very heavy. I can't guarantee that the only descendant of the Ling family will have a chance to be born." Concubine De stretched out her hand to caress Ling's stomach. Empress Dowager Qi felt terrified and stretched out her hand. The hand hangs down angrily, Concubine De smiles coquettishly and glances at Prince Rui.

"Rui'er, I'll leave this to you."

Prince Rui nodded, "Mother, don't worry."

"Ji Wuyou, what are you waiting for?" Ji Chang said loudly, "I'll count to three, if you don't put down your weapon, your Miss Su will be in danger."

Su Han's face was numb, and the cold wind was not as sharp as his heart, so Ji Chang took out a dagger from his pocket and stuck it on Su Han's face.

"Miss Su, there is nothing Ji can do. Miss Su, please don't be offended." Ji Chang glanced at Su Han, and a hint of amazement flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Prince Rui understood, he hadn't found Ji Wuyou's weakness before, he tried many ways to ignore it, but he never thought that the hero would be sad about the beauty pass.

Su Han sneered, his little face reflecting the firelight was flushed red, his skin was fat, his eyes soaked in water were amazingly bright, and his pearly eyes were as black as lacquer and bottomless.

"Despicable villain! Master Ji, Su Han's life is worthless. Compared with the thousands of people in the world, Su Han's death is not a pity. My mother and the Queen Mother, they dare not touch me, don't worry about me." Su Han Qingli said The voice resounded over the entire Cihe Palace, and it kept rippling in the heart. Standing in a plain skirt on the porch, with hair flying, reflecting the stunning beauty of the country and the city, people unconsciously look up.

Ji Chang's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Su Han never looked at him at all. In Su Han's heart, Ji Wuyou was actually taller than him.

Ji Wuyou's lips turned black, Ji Qi held her tightly, "Master?"

Ji Wuyou waved his hand, swallowing the fishy sweetness in his mouth, looking at Ji Chang's eyes became colder and piercing, and turned to look at Su Han, who was neither humble nor overbearing, struggling.
