Chen Palace

Chapter 54
"Who are you, how dare you burn and massacre in the house of an official ordered by the court?"

Wang Peizhi asked again, Qu Yun didn't think it was a problem, knowing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, so he smiled loudly and climbed onto the wall——

"General, long time no see, your might is unabated!"

Only Wang Peizhi let out a slight surprise, and said in surprise, "It could be you!"

He looked at Qu Yun carefully, and asked, "Commander, you are not guarding the palace, but what are you doing here?"

"The last general followed the Holy Majesty's order, came to exterminate the lawless criminals, and disturbed the general, but the last general failed his duty."

Wang Peizhi laughed loudly: "No wonder the flames are soaring into the sky, and the killing sounds are everywhere. If you think about it, it must be related to the assassins who have been hustle and bustle in the past few days, right? ——But," he mused, "This is the official residence, your job as a guard , not as far as here!"

His tone was not heavy, but when he spoke, he was so powerful on the battlefield that no one dared to argue.

Chen Lu's heart is as clear as a mirror, and she also feels the same way. Those generals who fought in the army in the past have never had any good impressions of the treacherous forces of the Tiqi Factory Guard. With Wang Peizhi's experience, how could he not see that this is a man in the palace? dark force?
What he said made sense, and Qu Yun had nothing to say for a while. Chen Lu saw that the night was about to pass, and once the morning was delayed, the emperor would fall into a passive state. After a little thought, she also flew up to the wall.

Wang Peizhi only felt a chill in front of his eyes. Under the reflection of the soaring flames, a girl in plain clothes was looking down, meeting his eyes——

As if he couldn't bear the icy look in his eyes, he slightly turned his head away, secretly surprised in his heart: "The girl is...?"

The girl stared and smiled, as if the eternal ice was cracking brilliantly——

"This concubine is the Master Attendant of the Holy Master, and her mere title is nothing to mention!"

Wang Peizhi was a little surprised. He cultivated himself at home and stayed away from the temple, so he didn't know that such a person appeared beside the emperor!

"Commander Qu issued an edict to arrest the assassin who committed crimes in the capital. During this period, officials from the imperial court were involved in the case. To avoid controversy, it was done in secret. Please forgive me, General!"

Her voice is crisp, and her words are tight and reasonable.It's just that Wang Peizhi seemed a little restless, and he didn't have the heart to delve into the issue of power. He asked directly: "Did you shoot these two arrows?"

He took the blood-stained feather arrow that was handed over by someone—it was just pulled out from the fleeing two people, and with a flick of his sleeve, he shot straight at the girl.

Chen Lu stretched out her hand from her sleeve. Under the firelight, the petal-like catkin was as soft as jade, but she gently picked up the arrow that was shining with cold light, without embarrassment.

She smiled and looked at the old Wang Peizhi, but saw that the mischievous and elf boy back then had frost on his temples and a resolute face.

How many people and things have changed in these years of wind and dust?
She was secretly surprised, but there was no abnormality on her face——

"My concubine's abilities are crude, but I made you laugh!"

Wang Peizhi's hands trembled imperceptibly, and the blood in his whole body almost flowed backwards, but he finally endured it, and said with a smile: "Where, these two arrows are really extraordinary..."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Wang Peizhi led more than 100 Chinese soldiers for the first time, and gave Qu Yun a lot of assistance.

The sky was faintly pale. Chen Lu and Qu Yun led a group of people to return to the palace, and they could still feel the piercing eyes behind them——

"Xiaoyun, is there anything special about the arrows I shoot?"

Hearing this, Qu Yun looked at her solemnly, and Chen Lu felt even more strange. After a long while, he said expressionlessly——

"It's special..."

"What is it?"

Chenlu was even more curious.

"The special thing is...it can kill two people with one arrow!"

Qu Yun's jokes were still the same as usual, very boring, but Chen Lu felt something strange——

She didn't delve into it, so she passed by the secret buried in the abyss again.

When the group of people headed towards the palace, the first ray of morning light had already emerged, and today is a sunny day...

……

"Xiao Chen!"

Qu Yun's low shout interrupted her memory, she looked intently, only to see that the morning court was over, and the emperor had already got up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"I see you in a daze!"

The young emperor walked up to her and stared at her, his words were full of sincere concern and affection.

"Weichen just thinks...today, it must be a sunny day!"

When the former court was in great power, in the secluded harem, there were also two noble women who were drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

They got up very early, and the two of them were holding teacups, chatting with each other, but they didn't get to the point.

Concubine Mei Gui looked at the sky outside the window, and asked in a gentle voice, "Is your empress still not sleeping well?"

"The smell of flowers gives me a headache!"

The queen said lightly.

Concubine Mei Gui ignored her indifference and said with a smile: "This concubine can relieve your empress' headache!"

The queen was slightly puzzled, but she had seen Mei Guipin's gesture, she dismissed her followers, and said annoyedly: "You can talk!"

Concubine Mei Gui stood up, gracefully, she put her hand on her belly, and said with a leisurely smile: "This concubine is already pregnant with the emperor's dragon descendant!"

The queen opened her eyes suddenly, full of unconcealable resentment and hatred, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Are you here to protest against the palace?"

Concubine Mei flinched a little, but quickly calmed down: "Is this my concubine's kind of person!"

She knelt down obediently, her eyes were full of clarity: "The concubine wants to, if the empress doesn't dislike it, this child, whether it's a boy or a girl, will worship at your knees!"

This sudden sentence made the queen tremble suddenly, as if she had never seen her before, she looked at her carefully.

"You know what you're talking about?!"

The queen couldn't believe it. In the history of the Celestial Dynasty, there were many sons of concubines who were counted under the knees of the middle palace, but most of their biological mothers came from humble backgrounds and were not favored.

Concubine Mei Gui was deeply loved by the emperor, and she was only one step away from being a concubine. If she gave birth to an emperor's descendant, she would be considered a meritorious service to the country, and she could be promoted to a concubine. How can you be willing to dedicate your flesh and blood to the queen?

"How dare the concubine speak nonsense? I also beg my mother to help me..."

Concubine Mei Gui couldn't afford to kneel, the empress knew in her heart that she must be afraid of being overwhelmed by the harem, so she pretended to be obedient and brought the child to her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneered and said: "You must have asked for something from the harem." ? I’m just afraid that I’m weak, so I won’t be able to do what you want!”
