Devil's Concubine

Chapter 218
After entering the state of Chu, there was still no rest, and they went straight to Yecheng, the imperial city of the state of Chu.

Along the way, news from all sides came from time to time, and the news that the Empress Dowager Chu was critically ill became more and more serious.On the other hand, the state of Qin is like a wolf like a tiger, with wolf ambitions, and the state of Chu is in danger!
They rushed all the way, and after another two days, they finally arrived at Yecheng in Chu State.

The war is urgent, and the whole country of Chu is strictly guarded against death. The capital, Yecheng, has a first-level security, and the gates of the four sides are closed!

Chu Yunshang stopped his horse and glanced into Yecheng from a distance. He could vaguely see the majestic and towering imperial palace in Yecheng, but he didn't know the current situation of that woman who once amazed the world with her beauty. What's up.

"Go!" With a wave, Chu Yunshang beckoned Xiao Shen to move on.

Bao'er lay in Xiao Shen's arms, and when she came to a strange environment, she was not afraid, but just looked around curiously.

"Who is coming, get off your horse and investigate!" He was still ten feet away from the city gate, and was immediately stopped by the city guards.

Because Chu State is located in the south, the faces of the people in the country tend to be feminine, and the stature is not very tall. Although this person's tone is stern, there is a sense of fear and fear in his words.

Chu Yunshang sighed secretly, no wonder everyone said that once the Queen Mother of Chu died, no one in the Chu country could use it. Just listening to the words of the city guard, she knew that these words were not intended to slander, and the whole Chu country , It is indeed frightening!

Chu Yunshang raised his hand, and handed out a white jade order, with a dignified voice: "Hua Shao of Chu State!"

When the city guard saw the white jade order, his eyelids twitched violently, he quickly knelt down, and said respectfully: "This subordinate has seen the eldest princess."

"Get up and open the city gate!" Chu Yunshang ordered expressionlessly.

"Yes!" The city guard forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, waved his big hand, and ordered loudly: "Princess Huashao is here, open the city gate!"

When the guards on the city wall heard the four people, Princess Huashao, their hearts were shocked, and they immediately knelt down to greet them: "I have seen the eldest princess!"

The city gate opened, and Chu Yunshang, carrying Xiao Shen and Bao'er, galloped in and headed directly towards the palace.

Along the way, as the news of Princess Huashao's return spread, the city of Ye was shaken in all directions.

As soon as Chu Yunshang moved forward, he saw that on both sides of the street, whether it was the guards or the common people, they all bowed their heads to greet him.

Chu Yunshang passed by all the way, and seeing such a scene, even if it was the first time to return to Chu State, his mood was ups and downs.

"Finally home!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Chu Yunshang let out a low growl from the bottom of his heart!
In front of the palace, Chu Yunshang reined in the horse and jumped off.

In front of the palace gate, the guards had already received the news of Chu Yunshang's arrival, and they ran forward one by one from a distance, kneeling respectfully to greet them: "I have seen the eldest princess."

Chu Yunshang was not polite, and said directly: "Understood, get up, I am going to enter the palace now, and my two friends are behind me, please make arrangements."

"Yes." The guards didn't dare to neglect, someone immediately led the horse, took Xiao Shen and Bao'er away.

Chu Yunshang walked directly into the palace without stopping.

Along the way, there were voices of greetings incessantly: "The eldest princess returns home, welcome the eldest princess!"

This voice was mixed with vibrato. It is not difficult to imagine that everyone was extremely excited. It was the first time Chu Yunshang entered the Chu country, and he was greeted with such a big ostentation, and his heart was extremely excited.

She knew in her heart that if it was just a piece of white jade order, she would not have been able to walk so smoothly. It must be the Queen Mother Chu in the palace who had already arranged everything in advance, and even waited for her arrival a long time ago.

The Empress Dowager Chu was waiting for her arrival, so she naturally knew her identity outside. However, the state of Chu was in a precarious state, and could she turn the tide just by relying on her alone?

Chu Yunshang is not a person without confidence. She is extremely arrogant in many cases, but she still does not have enough confidence to govern a country.

"Get up!" Chu Yunshang walked all the way, waving his hands from time to time to make everyone stand up.

She was extremely fast, passing by like the wind, and didn't care to observe the exquisiteness of the Chu Palace. Under the leadership of an old eunuch, she went directly to the Empress Dowager Chu's bedroom - Yinghua Palace!

Just by looking at the name of the Yinghua Palace, one can know that although the Empress Dowager Chu is a female generation, she does not have the tender heart of ordinary women. country.

Chu Yunshang suddenly looked forward to meeting the Queen Mother Chu!
Outside the Yinghua Palace, a group of people had already gathered around, knelt down on the ground in black, and said in a trembling voice: "Welcome the eldest princess to return to the country. The eldest princess is a thousand years old."

Although Chu Yunshang knew that during the years when the Empress Dowager Chu was in charge, the women in the harem of Chu State were extremely noble, but she was still shocked by this sentence of a thousand years old.

What kind of woman is the Empress Dowager Chu, who possesses such a great charm that makes the entire Chu Kingdom bow down!

"Where is the Queen Mother?" Chu Yunshang asked directly.

"Back to the eldest princess, the queen mother is in the bedroom, waiting for you to come back." The old eunuch said respectfully.

All the way into the Yinghua Palace, you can see a thin figure lying on the nephrite couch in the middle, on the soft couch with curtains.

Compared with the luxury of the Kunning Palace in the Molong Kingdom, the Yinghua Palace is extremely shabby and simple. From this point, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager Chu is not a person who pays attention to enjoyment.

Chu Yunshang looked at the figure behind the curtain, her nose was slightly sore, and she almost shed two tears. She strode forward and knelt down on her knees, "Hua Shao, I have seen the empress dowager."

"Hua Shao, you're finally here." Behind the curtain, a skinny and ugly hand stretched out tremblingly, Chu Yunshang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed that hand.

The curtain was lifted, revealing the figure inside.

The Empress Dowager Chu was dressed in bright yellow brocade clothes, lying on a soft couch, her body was extremely thin and thin, and her complexion was extremely bad. In the summer, she was still covered with a thick quilt, and her body shivered slightly from time to time, as if extremely cold.
