Chen Palace

Chapter 82 Cold Palace
Yuan Qi came against the sun, with a faint tiredness in his eyes, the twelve jade algae on the crown, hanging in front of his forehead, reflected the beauty like a god, but he was quite haggard.

He stared at Chen Lu, with joyful and complex lights flashing in his eyes, and he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing the stalemate between the two, Qu Yun wisely got up and left.

"How...how is your recovery?"

Yuan Qi didn't sit down, but just looked at her quietly, hesitated, and asked.

"This injury just looks dangerous, but it's actually not serious..."

Chen Lu lowered her head and looked at the square plate with nine vines and lotus patterns beside the bed, her voice was indifferent and polite.

Yuan Qi walked to the bed and grabbed her wrist——

"That day, why were you so impulsive?!"

He pressed his palms hard, his eyes flashed with furious and terrifying light, Chen Lu didn't struggle, just smiled lightly when he saw the bruises on his wrists.

That smile is sad and soft, but it is shining with unshakable strength——

"Blood feud, must be avenged!"

Yuan Qi was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Did someone in your family die in the Jingle incident?"

He thought of the scene in the history books, where thousands of people were weeping and the city was full of plains, and he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, and slowly let go of his hand: "Why didn't you tell me directly, but did such a dangerous thing?" thing!"

"In front of thousands of troops, take that person's head, this is what I think..."

Chen Lu replied in a low voice, as if thinking of something, her eyes flashed, she didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so she asked back: "The emperor is very troubled, is it because of the matter of Concubine Qi?"

The astringency between Yuan Qi's brows was deeper, his eyes were cold, like an abyss, which made people shudder, he sneered slightly: "It's hard to escape from Liangchuan, I never thought about going back to Beijing, but there are such surprises waiting for me What about me!"

"Does the emperor really think that this was done by Concubine Zhou?"

The sound of morning dew was like a cold spring, soaking into his heart, Yuan Qi only felt a burst of coolness, and the heat all over his body disappeared unconsciously.

"Of course I know something is wrong, but the evidence is overwhelming. If we don't deal with it, the hearts of all the officials in the court will be chilled..."

He smiled wryly, and continued: "The person behind the scenes is really capable, and he can push me to such a point!"

"Your Majesty, please relax..."

Chen Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, she smiled gracefully and confidently, there was a trace of treachery in the depths of her pupils——

"Let me share your worries!"

"you?"

The emperor was taken aback, his eyes showed incredible joy, he laughed happily and said: "You must have some good idea!"

Just as Chen Lu was about to answer, she felt a pain in her chest and coughing up, and she couldn't breathe for a while.

"Lie down and rest first!"

When the emperor saw it, he said angrily, "You don't cherish your body so much..."

He choked up, staring at Chen Lu's pale face, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore, he just said softly: "Go to sleep first..."

"I can not sleep……"

Chen Lu lay quietly, her voice was deep and deep, as if it came from the sky, ethereal and ethereal.

"I'll read you a few paragraphs of Zhongzheng Pingya's article, and you'll be able to fall asleep peacefully in a while."

The emperor ordered someone to fetch a copy of "Zhuangzi", and said in a manly voice: "There is a fish in Beiming, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng..."

His voice was elegant and upright, neither fast nor slow, until he read "The mountain of Miaogushe is home to gods and men; the skin is like ice and snow, graceful like a virgin, does not eat grains, absorbs the wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, and rides the flying dragon... "During this period of time, I couldn't help stealing glances from my side, but I saw that Chen Lu had fallen asleep gently, with long black hair mischievously entangled on her crystal clear face, like a fairy in a book.

He stared at this innocent sleeping face, but felt joyful and peaceful in his heart, he didn't need to think about anything, he just wanted to be with the beautiful woman forever, and just sleep soundly.

A wave of drowsiness came over him, he put down the scroll, leaned against the side of the couch, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Lu listened to the sound of even breathing in her ear, her long and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, she opened her eyes.

Turning her head sideways, looking at Yuan Qi's defenseless sleeping face, a smile appeared in her eyes——

It was a treacherous, bewitching, and resentful smile.

On this crystal clear face, this sneering sneer rolled up the infinite haze and chilled the room.

She stretched out her hand, and looked at her jade-like fingers under the sunlight.

The ten crystal-like nails are not very long, but they have been trimmed to a certain degree by the maid.

She stretched out her hand, with precise fingertips, across the emperor's throat.

The cyan blood was faintly visible on the white skin, she exerted a little force, feeling the coolness and elasticity of the skin, but it was hanging in the air, not going down.

In the void, she murmured silently: "Yuan Xu... I will destroy everything you cherish..."

She turned her head and glanced at Yuan Qi's sleeping face, feeling a dull pain in her heart for some reason.

Blame... blame your parents...

She said in her heart, put away the sharp nails that could easily kill people, and lay back on the couch.

The room was silent, there was no sound, only two people who were physically and mentally exhausted were falling asleep.

Concubine Qi's death caused all kinds of rumors to spread in the palace. Most of the ministers in the court were old friends of Qi Rong's. Even if they had never been in contact with each other, they had been colleagues for many years, so they wrote letters demanding that the murderer be severely punished.

The emperor's reply was always to stay in the middle. He looked calm and calm, as if he was not worried about this matter at all, and everything was under his control.

At the time when the public opinion in the former court was uproarious, the corner of the Leng Palace was like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.

Concubine Zhou Gui sat in the dark small room, combing her hair quietly by the faint light coming from the iron railing.

Her face was bloodless due to many days of confinement, but it was still beautiful and valiant.

Her cold and calm expression has not changed in the slightest. Even though she is imprisoned, she still looks down on the world with her usual demeanor.

"Your Majesty, an adult has come to visit you..."

The voice of the palace guard came from outside the door, Concubine Zhou Gui was slightly surprised, she pondered for a moment, and said: "Please come in!"

The person's footsteps were very slow, yet strangely sluggish. Concubine Zhou could tell that this person must be wounded.

With the opening of the iron door, she squinted her eyes, and finally saw the other party clearly——

"It is you!"

She sighed slightly, seemingly not surprised. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
