Peach Blossom Makeup

Chapter 168 Princess: Courting Death

Concubine Luo's eyes flickered, and she didn't even avoid it at all. She was about to be slapped by King Shun forcefully, and she looked at the direction where she was going to fall for a while, so she could get rid of the sharp knife on her neck.

She thinks well, but the plan always fails to keep up with the changes.

The moment the strong wind blew across her face, she opened her peach blossom eyes wide and gasped for breath, but the slap from King Shun didn't come down for a long time, she turned her head to see——

King Shun's hand froze in mid-air, and a small copper coin with a round hole, which was no more ordinary, was embedded in the flesh and blood, and he took three points.

Concubine Luo felt pain just looking at it, she heard Qin Shou's voice from the entrance of the hall——

"Swords have no eyes. Kyushu thought that it would be better to put down the long sword on the princess's neck, so as not to touch the skin of my princess Rong." Qin Shou just stood outside the hall in a leisurely manner.

He was against the dim light, and his whole body seemed to be coated with a soft light yellow layer, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but his bland tone made people hear a bone-chilling coldness.

The Forbidden Army who had been holding Concubine Luo trembling, really almost hurt Concubine Luo again, he looked at King Shun, and swallowed very cautiously.

Qin Shou stepped in, and his eyes were on Concubine Luo from the beginning to the end. Seeing her with a silk handkerchief wrapped around her neck, when she raised her slanted eyebrows, an abyss-like deepness burst out from her smoke-colored phoenix eyes , "Say it again, my king, put down the sword!"

He didn't look at the forbidden soldier, but just stared straight at King Shun.

King Shun was sweating profusely. He had no fear when he recklessly started the incident before, but now, under Qin Shou's sight, he has lost his mind.

Qin Shou took a few steps forward, and Concubine Luo finally saw clearly that his dark red vassal robe was splattered with blood. The smell of blood, and the awe-inspiring murderous look in the corners of his eyes and brows has not yet faded.

King Shun reluctantly pulled out the copper coin from his wrist. He lowered his hands, trembling slightly.

Qin Shou was extremely arrogant, he just looked at King Shun coldly, as if he was looking at a dead man, "King Shun is still waiting for the forbidden army outside the gates of several palaces behind?"

Hearing this, King Shun felt uneasy.

Sure enough, Qin Shou continued, "I'm really sorry, except for the forbidden army in the Xihua Palace, the rebel forbidden army in the entire palace was killed by this king."

"Impossible!" King Shun retorted without thinking, and the Gu family, Gu Yanzhi, who had been standing beside him without saying a word, also turned pale in an instant.

"Heh," Qin Shou chuckled, narrowing his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and there was a flash of brilliance at the tip of his eyes, "otherwise? A mere thousand people is too few. Haven't killed enough fun yet."

Qin Shou was able to tell the number of thousands of people, and King Shun knew that he was not lying. He unconsciously stepped back half a step, and was very unwilling, "King Rong is also easy to calculate. He obviously sent the Suzaku army back to the camp. The decree is disrespectful, today's wedding dress, I am convinced by it."

When death was imminent, he did not forget to provoke a wave.

Qin Shou's hands were cut behind his back, and his index finger and thumb were rubbing each other. Obviously impatient, he said in a vague and arrogant tone, "Who cares?"

As he said that, he turned his footsteps and was about to go to Concubine Luo's side. The imperial guard holding a sharp sword nervously led Concubine Luo back, Concubine Luo glared at him.

Qin Shou frowned, that line of red and vermilion was gorgeous and eye-catching, and he didn't see any movement, just lightly raised his hand, and he had already jumped in front of Concubine Luo, and pinched two fingers, and then exerted force, the handle The long sword snapped in two from the hilt with a clang.

Then he flipped his wrist, and with a swish of the broken sword, he pierced the forbidden soldier's forehead, and before he blinked, he untied Concubine Luo and killed her.

Concubine Luo touched her neck and felt relieved.

King Shun saw the general trend, his eyes flickered, and after looking around, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he unexpectedly grabbed Gu Yanzhi's neck, pulled him in front of him, and said to the Queen Mother, "Let me go!"

Gu Yanzhi also didn't expect that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word at all, he could only look at the queen mother with pleading eyes.

The queen mother was more ruthless than ever, she didn't even raise her eyelids, "Use the same method twice, King Shun, you have to think highly of yourself!"

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Don't say that Ai's family didn't come from Gu's family at all, so what if the surname is Gu, after so many years, the friendship has long since faded away, not to mention, his Gu family has insufficient heart, so It’s good to lose her family.”

Gu Yanzhi's face turned ashen for a moment, because he knew too well that the relationship between the Gu family and the Queen Mother had long since disappeared, so he took the risk and secretly plotted against King Shun in an attempt to play the second biggest game.

Concubine Luo was not aware of the matter between the Queen Mother and the Gu family, and so was Emperor Xi Chaosheng, but they all supported the Queen Mother's decision.

So Concubine Luo sneered, "If you want to kill Xi Tingzun, don't dirty the Xihua Palace."

King Shun laughed out loud, his eyebrows were terribly determined, his five fingers became claws, and when he exerted force, there was only a click, Gu Yanzhi's eyes widened and he couldn't stop staring at him.

He threw Gu Yanzhi aside, stomped his feet, and went straight to the queen mother.

Qin Shou's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He waved his long sleeves, and with a hunting sound, he swept towards King Shun's door, and with a kick, he kicked him several feet away.

King Shun vomited blood, he got up on his feet, turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the palace, "I have been thinking, why didn't the late emperor just kill us with a knife, and why did he imprison us in the capital? Waiting for humiliation to live is more difficult than dying..."

As he said this, his voice became lower and lower, and in the end he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. He just looked at the sky outside the temple like that, and slowly fell to the ground without a sound.

In the Xihua Palace, there was silence.

After a long time, King Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Alian, Zhao also thought about it that way, but later..."

With you, everything is different.

Concubine Luo glanced at King Ning, and said in a strange way, "Mimi never knew that the emperor's uncle raised so many dead soldiers. If it wasn't for today's incident, even the emperor's uncle would have kept him in hiding. Including the swords used by these dead soldiers that are different from the official system."

The Empress Dowager looked at King Ning coldly, pursed her lips, although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes could not be more clear.

King Ning choked, rubbed his forehead, and admitted honestly, "Yes, the assassination you encountered when you returned to Beijing was done by me."

The Empress Dowager's expression froze, already displeased.

King Ning hurriedly said again, "In Hudi, I do have an iron mine, which was built privately."

Concubine Luo sneered, "Uncle Huang keeps saying that you don't want that position, but Mimi can't be more hypocritical."

King Ning had no choice but to say, "The iron ore, I was planning to leave it to Qianjin, and the dead soldiers were raised to protect myself."

This explanation is far-fetched, especially under the expressionless gaze of the Empress Dowager, King Ning touched the tip of his nose, turned his head and felt guilty and dared not look at the Empress Dowager.

Speaking of this, Concubine Luo didn't care about King Ning's swearing to protect the queen mother's behavior, she didn't even bother to ask why King Ning wanted to prevent her from returning to the capital.

Emperor Xi Chaosheng ordered the eunuchs around him to send someone in to tidy up the Xihua Palace.

Concubine Luo stood there for a long time, her slender waist was so sore, she just wanted to turn around and find a chair to sit on, but Qin Shou stopped her.

She glanced at him from the end of her eye, not knowing why.

Qin Shou whispered, "Princess, wait a moment and let Jiuzhou see your wound."

He moved while talking, but before Concubine Luo could react, the silk handkerchief around her neck had been untied, the thin wound was not bleeding, and there was no pain, but the blood soaked in the silk handkerchief was It's kind of scary.

"Mimi!" The emperor was taken aback, he came over in three or two steps, squeezed Qin Shou away, looked down at her neck, wanted to touch it but dared not, his hands were shaking.

"Prince doctor, hurry up and announce to the director of the general imperial hospital!" He was so nervous that his voice was distorted.
