Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 50
After being silent for a long time, Beitang Mo took another step forward, and when he stood arm in arm with Mu Qing, he whispered next to her ear: "This is a struggle for power, you and I both understand The cruelty inside. If you can't control the fate of others, you can only let others dominate. In this world, there is no one who is right or wrong, only who is strong and who is weak. Si Xue, just because she is not strong enough, has become a cannibal in the mouth of wild beasts. Empress, there is no need to sympathize with her too much. Because...weakness is also a sin."

After Beitang Mo finished speaking, he continued to move forward and left the teahouse, leaving a faint sandalwood around and wrapped around Mu Qing's cold side.

She lowered her eyes, clenched her hands tightly, and even trembled.

She couldn't refute the prince, because every word of the prince was like a needle piercing her heart.

In the world of power struggle, once involved, there is no escape.

Whether it is Si Xue, Xiangguo, the prince, the emperor or her, none of them can escape.

Because, this world is ruthless and cruel.

Liu Xiangguo, who was walking from the alley, got on the sedan chair in a hurry, and when he stepped in, he hurriedly pulled the curtain and said to his confidant outside, "Don't come into the palace with me, as I said just now. , you hurry up and bring Sixue into the palace."

Hearing this, his confidant hurried forward and asked, "Xiangguo, don't you wait for Sixue first?"

"Idiot, now is the time to read a copy before Beitang Mo is vigilant." Liu Xiangguo narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "Fortunately, Ben Xiangguo has kept his back trick, although it is a little bit too much to directly participate in Beitang Mo. I took the risk, but now I have no choice but to do it. Well, you go quickly."

After hearing this, the confidant nodded hurriedly, then turned and ran away from the alley.

After seeing him leave, Liu Xiangguo said to the bearer in front, "Enter the palace."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly threw down the curtain of the sedan chair, but the sedan chair did not get up for a long time.Liu Xiangguo was puzzled, and raised the curtain again impatiently. Just as he was about to yell, he saw Beitang Mo leisurely leaning on the handle next to the bearer. Seeing Liu Liangchu, a faint smile appeared on Beitang Mo's face. , then shook his head pretending to be serious, and said: "Master Xiangguo's Sixue and account books have been sent to the emperor this morning, ah... the embezzlement of disaster relief funds caused chaos among the soldiers and the people, this king remembers, but Ling Chi is going to be executed. Xiangguo, do you really want to go back to the palace to meet the saint? Or, do you just give yourself a ride?"

Liu Liangchu's face turned pale immediately, and after struggling agitatedly for a while, the hand holding the curtain gradually loosened.

Beitang Mo raised his lips lightly, his smile was both indifferent and tinged with cruelty.

……

As dusk fell, the city was full of joy, as if immersed in the atmosphere of the emperor's great grace to the world.All the officials who went out of the palace together had already dispersed by this time, fearing that they would delay the queen's blessing, they were all very busy during this time.

Just when Su Muqing was about to return to the palace, Gongsun Jing suddenly stopped Su Muqing, showing a little softness on that serious face.So he coughed lightly, and said to Su Muqing, "This time, the queen has calmed down. For this, the old man is grateful, and I will also ask the emperor for credit. The old lady is also smart, but don't worry about it." It’s strange that the old man is outspoken, but I still want to remind the empress..." Gongsun Jing narrowed his eyes, then approached, and said in a low voice, "If the empress is against the emperor one day, the old man will still be against the empress, I hope the empress will never forget the old man, and more Just don't forget the knife in the heart of the empress." After speaking, he took a step back slowly and gave a slight salute to Mu Qing, then turned and left with the other adults.

At this time, Mu Qing stood there quietly, the halo of the dusk dyed her whole body like golden flowing water.She chuckled, as if she understood Gongsun Jing's meaning - if it cannot be used by the emperor, it will cause disaster in the future and must be eliminated.

Regarding Gongsun Jing's words, she just smiled lightly, showing no fear.

"Actually, the position of the emperor involves the safety of the world. Mu Qing never thought that her own selfish desires would be detrimental to the emperor. So Mu Qing will firmly remember the knife in her heart." After Mu Qing finished speaking, she stared quietly for a while. Gongsun Jing stayed away from the thin figure, and then she also rode on the fast horse, preparing to return to the palace with Jin Yiwei.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, rolling up layers of flying sand, and even Jin Yiwei had to cover his eyes and dare not look forward.

The strangeness of this evil wind made Mu Qing feel uncomfortable, and always felt that someone was staring at her closely.She frowned, looked through her fingers, and suddenly saw a person walking in front of her, an extremely familiar figure, an extremely familiar appearance, extremely familiar everything... The person stopped, and suddenly turned to Mu Qingzhang. With a weird smile, he left in a hurry.

Mu Qing's face was full of shock, and then she suddenly threw her hand away, and chased after that person without thinking about anything else.

She rode her horse back and forth on a street, her long hair blown loose, and lightly brushed her anxious face.

Why, why did she see the exact same face as her own, who is this person, and will she know Su Muqing's deep secret?
She leaned tiredly on the horse, breathing unevenly.

The red sunset gradually reflected on her body, as if comforting the slender woman.She got up again and looked at the distant imperial city, her eyes were slightly complicated.Suddenly remembering the agreement that Beitangfeng made with her, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and asked himself the result of this agreement more than once.

"Maybe I misread it. Let's go back, lest the emperor think that I have escaped again." Mu Qing murmured, couldn't help laughing, suddenly threw off the reins, and then quickly ran towards the palace.

Feng, wait for me, I have completed the agreement and returned.

Don't forget the promise you made to me.

It's just that after Mu Qing left, a frivolous man walked out leisurely.He gradually tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a jade face, his eyes became deep and strange.Then he jumped on the horse and ran towards the palace from the other direction.

After returning to the palace, Su Muqing suddenly felt an unusual atmosphere.Especially the guards around her seemed to be looking at her with surprised and puzzled eyes.

Mu Qing was suddenly at a loss by these dazzling gazes, perhaps because the palace people wondered why she didn't come back with the crowd.So he squeezed his sleeves tightly and walked towards the upper study without thinking about it.

In the upper study room, the light is a bit dim.Mu Qing carefully pushed open the carved wooden door.

Beitangfeng sat quietly under the window, the faint light reflected the traces of silence on his face.

Mu Qing's heart warmed at first, but the smell of alcohol in the room made her frown.She looked around, and suddenly saw Beitangfeng holding an empty wine glass with his drooping fingers, the wet liquid in the glass dripped to the ground, splashing a little bit of water.

Mu Qing walked in slowly, with some doubts in her eyes, she came to Bei Tangfeng's side, looked at the bottles and cans on the table, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you..."

Hearing Mu Qing's voice, Bei Tangfeng slightly raised his eyes, suddenly grabbed Mu Qing's hand, then pulled her onto his lap, and wiped her lips with his fingertips.

"You came back as promised." He murmured, his eyes darkened.

"Well, Mu Qing is back." She chuckled lightly, with some warmth showing on her face, "Isn't it a celebration banquet for the emperor's concubine to drink?"

"A celebration banquet?" Beitangfeng was a little lost, and then smiled slightly, "Well, that's it."

As he spoke, he picked up the jug again, filled the empty glass with wine, then handed the glass to Mu Qing, and said, "Come and have a drink with me."

A cup into the stomach, full of worry.

Two cups into the belly, the heart seems to be in a trance.

Three cups into the belly, the sky is full of love.

Mu Qing drank one cup after another, staring at Beitangfeng, feeling a dull pain in her heart for some reason.

It's obviously the same person, the same tenderness, and the same words, but why does it make her feel a bone-chilling chill.

At the moment Beitangfeng was about to pour wine for her again, Mu Qing suddenly pressed his hand.She stared at him quietly, and then said, "Does the emperor have something to say to Mu Qing?"

Beitangfeng paused, and a gloomy light flashed across his eyes.He gently put down the wine glass, looked at Mu Qing again, and opened his lips.

"I forgot a little bit, I forgot your name. Can you tell me again?"

Such a puzzling question made Mu Qing frowned slightly, she laughed a little, and then sighed sullenly.Then gently held Beitangfeng's face, stared at his handsome eyes without any shyness, and read clearly: "Su Muqing. The name of my concubine is Su Muqing."

When the words fell, Beitangfeng's pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a little disappointment.After a while, he gave a low laugh, put Mu Qing back on the ground, and said, "I see."

Mu Qing was still full of doubts, she thought it was Beitang Feng who was mad at her for coming back late, so she smiled and said: "Then this concubine will go to take a bath and change clothes first, and I will talk to the emperor about today's affairs later. Today, really It's a good day." Mu Qing smiled lightly, and suddenly saw a strand of hair falling from Beitangfeng's ear, so she wanted to reach out her hand to say goodbye to him, but just as her fingertips were about to touch, Beitangfeng suddenly stretched out his hand. He blocked her hand with his hand, and her response was nothing more than "yes".

There was a hint of surprise in Mu Qing's eyes, she lowered her eyes, and slowly retracted her fingertips.Then he managed to pull himself together, and also said concisely, "The concubine resigns."

She turned around and walked towards the door of the upper study room, when the door was about to be opened, she suddenly heard Beitangfeng whisper "Come here" behind her.Mu Qing paused, she wanted to turn her head to look at him again, but suddenly she was surrounded by Jin Yiwei who suddenly rushed in.

Mu Qing's eyes trembled suddenly, and she suddenly turned to look at Beitangfeng, but she saw that he was still drinking the wine calmly, but there was a kind of indifference on his face when he first saw her.

why?
She really wanted to ask, but just as she moved her toes, Jin Yiwei pulled her back, and then forcefully pulled her to kneel on the ground, her knees touched the icy hardness, which made her frown uncontrollably. It was painful eyes, but still looked at this man without moving.

At this time, suddenly there was a touch of soft footsteps walking out, faintly, like a veil.Not long after, a slender figure immediately covered Mu Qing's sight, and the golden thread phoenix pattern embroidered shoes gradually came into her sight.

She was slightly startled, raised her head and slowly looked at the person in front of her, but froze in place the next moment.

The red robe was flicked lightly, and the person in front of her stood with her hands behind her back. She was proud of the world, her eyes were gentle, but also a touch of indifference.The long hair swayed lightly behind her, like ink and silk.

This woman actually has exactly the same face as himself.Behind her stood the jade-faced eunuch Zheng Rong.

"How... is it possible?" Mu Qing murmured, turning her head to look at Beitangfeng, and the eyes of him who filled her heart at this moment, made herself afraid indifferently, it was a kind of cruelty that was almost merciless , pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

Seeing that Mu Qing was at a loss for words, a smile flashed across her blushing eyes, she slowly raised her fingertips and slid across Mu Qing's face, "Do you know who I am?"

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, as if she already knew it in her heart.

"This palace is the queen of the dynasty, Su Muqing. I didn't expect you to use such a face to seduce the emperor, betray the emperor, and even steal the secret scroll. Now that the emperor knows the truth, you can do it yourself."

Mu Qing's pupils trembled, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the man. After meeting with a calm smile, her deep eyes gleamed with an unprecedented anger. She wanted to get up, but was tightly held down by Jin Yiwei behind her. , she suddenly sneered, then turned to laugh.

"Two birds with one stone, what a kill two birds with one stone!" Mu Qing gritted her teeth, and suddenly turned to Beitangfeng, "If you still want to believe in me, a woman who doesn't even want the world, but only wants you, then let me explain to you! Hall wind!"

Beitangfeng slightly raised his eyes.He got up, looked at Mu Qing solemnly, and then walked towards her slowly.Mu Qing showed surprise, and her knees could not help but move forward.But at this moment, Beitangfeng walked past her. He seemed to pause for a moment when he crossed his arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I can't trust one, and she has been lying to me from the beginning to the end." woman."

After leaving this extremely quiet sentence, he left, leaving so resolutely that he never even looked back.

Su Muqing who was in front of her smiled slightly, and patted her shoulder with her fingertips, "If you die, I can wash away the crime of betrayal and repeat it. I will continue to complete the agreement with the emperor on your behalf. Hehe..." chuckled After that, she followed Beitangfeng's pace and left.

In the dark room, the wound on the heart opened again, and bright red blood gradually seeped out from the cloth, exuding some pain, as if the hottest heart at that moment had been dug out.Mu Qing lowered her eyes, smiled quietly, and then laughed wildly.Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and even tears flowed unconsciously.

When the last laugh stopped, she remained silent, then looked at the sky with no future, and suddenly screamed with all her strength, as if she wanted to shout out all the love in her heart and throw it all away.

Beitang, who had already walked halfway, stopped when he heard the sound. He stretched out his hand and looked at the fingertips that had touched her just now. The warmth was still there, and then he touched his right cheek lightly. He gritted his teeth, but opened his lips again. He wanted to turn around several times, but he still stood where he was.Then he clenched his fists, and for the first time, he whispered in a piercing voice, "Why did you lie to me...why did you lie to me...why, why!!!!"

One day, it rained, and it gradually fell on the desolate imperial city, washing away the warmth of the past, and diluting the love of the past.

Only the promise that could no longer be fulfilled quietly dissipated in the air...
