The fifth lady against the sky

Chapter 216 The Eve of Leaving Beijing (3)
Xiahou Litian brushed off the clothes that Li Xiangyun messed up just now without a trace, looked at Li Xiangyun standing in front of him smiling like a rose flower protruding from the wall, looked at him for a long time, suddenly the corner of his mouth smirked, and said : "Okay, I'm looking forward to Aifei's performance, Aifei can't let me down."

Although Li Xiangyun maintained a smile at the corner of his mouth, he felt that the bottomless vortex in Xiahou Litian's eyes looking at him just now seemed to suck him in and never see the sun again. Li Xiangyun felt like a tiger for a long time. The lamb waiting to be slaughtered has a creepy feeling.I was timid and wanted to cancel tonight's action, but when I thought that I had made Xiahou Litian drink the porridge with cartilage powder, how could I waste all my previous efforts.

Seeing the hesitation flashing in Li Xiangyun's eyes, Xiahou Litian seemed displeased and said, "My concubine, I am still waiting for your performance. I am curious about what kind of new musical instrument it is. How could my concubine kill the roundworm in my stomach? It's hooked up, aren't you going to perform for me again?"

Li Xiangyun knew that the arrow was on the string and had no choice but to shoot, and said with a smile: "The emperor waits for the concubine, and the concubine will go and fetch it."

After saying that, Li Xiangyun turned around and walked to the inner cupboard, and took out an eight-treasure box inlaid with sapphires from the innermost part. The sapphires on the box were equal in size, and the peony flower carvings on the box glowed faintly with golden light under the candlelight.Li Xiangyun took off the key of the jade carving hanging around his neck and opened the front lock.Take out a small box from the Eight Treasure Box, and take out a jasper carving that looks like a spinning conch from the small box.

Li Xiangyun walked back to the inner room with the jasper conch, at this moment Xiahou Litian was already lying on the warm couch with his head propped on one hand and fell asleep.Li Xiangyun walked forward quietly, and called softly: "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

Xiahou Litian slowly opened his eyes, saw Li Xiangyun in front of him, and said annoyedly: "Lying down, I felt weak all over, very tired, and I was going to close my eyes for a rest, but fell asleep. Concubine Ai , the new musical instrument you mentioned is this thing in your hand." Xiahou Litian took the jasper conch in Li Xiangyun's hand, looked it over carefully, and said with a smile: "It is indeed very delicate, and the carving is like a real conch. , Aifei, why does this make a sound?"

Li Xiangyun pointed to one end of the conch with his Danko-painted finger, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is a whistle embedded in it, as long as you blow the whistle, it will naturally make a sound. It sounds good. Would the emperor want to listen to the concubine playing a song?"

Li Xiangyun thought that everything was going according to his own plan, but he didn't expect that he had already fallen into someone else's trap.

Xiahou Litian played with the jasper conch in his hand, and said happily: "That's the thing."

Hearing this sentence, Li Xiangyun couldn't guess the meaning of this sentence. The heart that was originally floating on the white cloud instantly hit the ground like a free fall, and even made a heart-shaped crater.Li Xiangyun clenched his hands tightly, still trying to squeeze out a smile, and said: "What does the emperor mean by this, and what is right?"

Xiahou Litian was still smiling just now, when he heard Li Xiangyun's words, he kicked Li Xiangyun in the stomach without mercy. Li Xiangyun was a weak woman who was suddenly kicked two meters away by this kick , Xiahou Litian said coldly with a cold face: "What do you mean? Don't you know, you bitch? You actually put a heart-biting Gu on my body, don't you think I don't know? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Li Xiangyun opened his mouth to defend, but he couldn't think of what he should say. Li Xiangyun didn't expect that the emperor knew everything.He showed his feet, and the surrounding hidden guards did not show up. Li Xiangyun guessed that all his hidden guards had been killed. Li Xiangyun knew that it was impossible for him to get Xiahou Litian's forgiveness at this moment, and seeing Xiahou Litian's face full of Li Xiangyun had no choice but to take out the last bargaining chip and threatened Xiahou Litian: "Your Majesty, since you know that your concubine has given you the heart-eating Gu, you should know that the Miaojiang people are good at using this Gu technique, and don't worry about it." Not everyone will be able to undo this heart-eating Gu, the emperor had better save the life of his concubines, otherwise the heart-eating Gu will stay on the emperor forever."

Li Xiangyun held his aching chest and looked straight at Xiahou Litian's cannibalistic gaze without fear. I have to say that Li Xiangyun is a courageous woman who can calmly find a chance for herself to survive when life and death are at stake. .

Xiahou Litian saw Li Xiangyun who was staring at him coldly, but there was a resolute sneer on Li Xiangyun's face, coupled with her current makeup, in Xiahou Litian's eyes, there was something like red plums in the snow. beauty.Xiahou Litian regretted in his heart, if Li Xiangyun hadn't set his mind on him, maybe her life would be spared tonight, but this woman is ignorant of current affairs and dared to find conditions to threaten him.

Xiahou Litian clapped his hands, and a guard dressed in black walked in from the door, Xiahou Litian said in a deep voice, "How's the matter?"

The guard in black knelt on one knee in front of Xiahou Litian, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, all the hidden guards have been killed by the guards, and now the palace is all our own people."

Xiahou nodded and waved to the man in black, who automatically stood behind Xiahou Litian.Xiahou Litian sneered at Li Xiangyun who was on the ground and said, "Do you think that other than you, no one else can get rid of the Heart-eating Gu on my body? Don't you wonder how I know that you have placed the Heart-eating Gu on me?"

When Li Xiangyun heard Xiahou Litian's words, he knew that the bargaining chip of the threat was useless. He collapsed on the ground with a face of ashes, his hands propped on the cold ground, and said: "Please ask the emperor to solve the confusion for my concubine, my concubine Since he thinks that he is impeccable, how does the emperor know that the concubine has planted Gu on the emperor."

Xiahou Litian sneered and said: "If you want people to be in a hurry, you have to do nothing. When you planned to frame the fifth wife's innocence in Xuewu Palace, you were discovered by the fifth wife, and that girl accidentally found out that the study room and There is a secret passage between the inner rooms of your Qixia Palace. I guess you also know that one end of the secret room looks into your inner room."

Li Xiangyun thought of what he had said about the Gu technique to his mother when he returned to his inner room, shook his head and smiled: "No wonder, Your Majesty, God really favors you. Hmph, I have repeated it again and again. I really regret that I didn't get rid of her before. Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the crime of seeking power and usurping the throne is unforgivable, but this matter has nothing to do with Lie Er. Lie Er is also the Emperor's own son. Put the concubine's crimes on Lie Er."
