Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 242
Su Zhengqin breathed a sigh of relief and felt better. He looked down at the sleeve arrow on his shoulder blade, which penetrated his entire shoulder blade. The point of the arrow was behind his shoulder, and his blood was washed away by the rain.

The emperor was heartbroken: "Imperial son... my emperor, what about you... Where is the imperial physician? Come, call the imperial physician!"

There is no imperial doctor who came up the mountain.Fortunately, most of the concubines in the harem have been dredged down the mountain, otherwise, if Concubine De saw Su Zhengqin like this, she would have fainted.

Su Zhengqin's complexion was pale, his eyes were firm, his wet hair was pressed against his neck, his face was too soft and elegant, the raindrops hit his face transparent and full, his dark red robe was completely wet, like a flower Closed dew rose.

Holding the sleeve arrow in one hand, he took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and pulled out the sleeve arrow from his shoulder, bringing out traces of blood, then turned around and knelt down on one knee, saying: "Please forgive me, my son, the rescue is late. Don't be afraid, father, the son will do his best to protect father and emperor..."

Seeing the assassination of the second prince, An Guohou brought a pair of imperial guard clones over without any delay, but Su Zhengqin said to An Guohou, "Please also protect the emperor, and leave the remaining assassins to me."

An Guohou said: "It's absolutely impossible, the second prince is injured, so I should wait and lead someone there!"

Su Zhengqin smiled and said: "This little injury is fine for the time being." The long sword in his hand is majestic, and his dark pupils look at the dark nothingness inside the gate of the imperial tomb: "Bold assassin, dare to trespass on the imperial tomb to disturb the peace of my ancestors. Death must be blamed!"

The emperor was also very worried and said: "Imperial son, can you do it?" The emperor did not stop it, because not everyone can set foot in the imperial mausoleum casually, it is better for Marquis An Guo to go in than Su Zhengqin to reassure the emperor.

Su Zhengqin said: "Father, don't worry, my son will be back soon." As he spoke, Su Zhengqin raised his sword and led a team of forbidden troops to chase into the imperial tomb.

An Guohou had no choice but to stay to take care of the safety of the emperor. The rest of the forbidden army looked around and cleaned up the corpses scattered all over the field. Everyone was still in fear.

The emperor looked at Jun Qianji who was not far away, his face was rather gloomy.He didn't see clearly when the assassin shot at him, and he couldn't help wondering if the national teacher saw clearly, leaving him to save his apprentice first.

The emperor asked aloud: "Is there any serious problem with the apprentice of the national teacher's family?"

Jun Qianji replied indifferently: "She was injured by a knife, and her life is not in danger for the time being. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

The emperor nodded, and said: "How can I say, she was injured because of me. I am shocked by her courage. Take good care of her. I have sent people to the foot of the mountain to invite the imperial physician."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Jun Qianji lowered his head, couldn't see the expression on his face, and said respectfully and with distance: "It is the duty of a minister to protect the safety of the Emperor, and she also understands this truth, so all of this is her responsibility." It should be done. There is no need to wait for the imperial doctor to come, I want to take her down the mountain first."

The heavy rain stopped, and the mud mixed with the smell of blood was wrapped in the air and lingered for a long time.The dead body was carried away in the solemn place, and there were bloody places where there were puddles. Looking up, there were potholes everywhere.The scattered swords on the ground looked silvery white and glaring under the light of the gradually brightening sky.

The thick clouds parted, and the sun shone faintly.

The vicinity of the stone platform where everyone was located was badly damaged.The three tripod censer on the stone platform lay horizontally in the center, and was washed shiny by the rain; the towering stone tablet had cracks and might crack and break at any time, and even the Chinese pillars carved with dragon patterns around the stone platform It was also blown off, and pieces lay across the ground.There were cracks on the bluestone floor of the stone platform, and some places were squeezed to slightly bulge.

An Guohou said at the right time: "The emperor is frightened, it is better to go back to the residence first, and let the ministers handle the matter here."

But the emperor was determined and said: "I won't leave. The emperor entered the imperial tomb to fight the assassins, and his life and death are still uncertain. How can I leave him alone? Just go down the mountain like this, what will I have to explain to Concubine De?"

The Marquis of Suian no longer persuaded him.The emperor said to Jun Qianji again: "Forget it, her injury is serious, you should take her down first."

The sun gradually became brighter, and traces of it flowed down from the clouds and shone on the wet ground, reflecting the bright light from the accumulated water.After a great battle, the remaining people only felt very comfortable in laziness, and wanted to lie on the stone platform and have a peaceful sleep.None of them noticed that the cracks on the stone platform were getting bigger and bigger, and the ground was tilting unconsciously, but the tilt was so small that it was hard to detect.

After Jun Qianji thanked the emperor respectfully, she hugged Feng Shijin and prepared to stand up.At this time, the emperor became more serious, and said again: "The second prince just risked his life to block an arrow for me, what does the national teacher think?"

Jun Qianji ran over to save Feng Shijin's life in desperation, and Su Zhengqin blocked the emperor's arrow. It happened almost at the same time, so fast that it was elusive and there was no time to think and hesitate. He could only save by instinct. What you value.

It's just that when the emperor asked, Jun Qianji knew that he was suspicious.If he is not careful in answering, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.So Jun Qianji put Feng Shijin down, respectfully prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "I deserve death for my crimes!"

The emperor's face was the same, and said: "Tell me, what is your crime?"

Jun Qianji said: "I failed to find out in time. It is my fault to put the emperor in danger and hurt the second prince. If I can find out early, it is my duty to protect the emperor and the second prince!"

The emperor was silent for a moment, and all he could see was Jun Qianji's respect for him, and the fact that he was neither humble nor overbearing when he knelt down, which was indeed his style of conduct.

The emperor waved his hands and said, "Your beloved apprentice understands righteousness, and you know how to sacrifice your life for righteousness at such a young age, which makes me moved. No wonder the national teacher has always indulged this apprentice. Today, seeing the national teacher, this apprentice is a good teacher." .I am eager to be your guardian, since you didn't find out earlier, and those who don't know are innocent, I don't plan to pursue it anymore, so get up."

He glanced at Feng Shijin in Jun Qianji's arms, and added, "Hurry up and take her down to heal her injuries."

After Jun Qianji thanked her, she stood up again holding Feng Shijin, greeted An Guohou, and prepared to walk down the mountain.

However, he was about to take two steps when there was a sudden bang, and the ground seemed to tremble.Everyone looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw that there were no dark clouds in the sky, and the sun was beautiful and bright.

An Guohou muttered: "The rain has stopped, why is there still thunder?"

The emperor frowned, looked at the sky and said nothing.

Immediately afterwards, the bang became more and more obvious and intense, and the ground began to shake. The collapsed Huabiao pillars on the stone platform rolled roundly on the sloped ground, and the bluestone floor of the entire stone platform was squeezed by a strong force so that it became warped.

The guards were shocked when they saw this, and shouted: "The sound came from the ground! It's about to collapse!"
