refuse to be a concubine

Chapter 33 I must abolish you!

Bai Xuan stared at my figure for a long while, then followed me up, jumped up, and hid himself in the night.

The Queen's Palace was in ruins, and as far as the eye could see, even the complete roof tiles could not be found.

Although the side halls where the surrounding maids lived were also damaged, it was not a serious problem.

At this moment, the palace people are cleaning up the mess, and when they saw me, they all saluted.

I went to the tea room.

From a distance, I saw Xiaoru coming out of the tea set room, and when he saw me, he gave me a few cold glances.

My eyes stayed on the index finger of his left hand, there was an obvious gap in the nail.

Just when she was about to pass me, I asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ru, why did you kill me?"

The body that crossed over stopped, Xiaoru looked at him coldly, "What killed you?"

"You know it well."

"I do not understand what you're saying."

Grabbing her hand, I took out the half of the nail I bit off from my arms, and looked at her coldly, "Do you want me to fix it?"

Xiaoru's face changed, she looked at the missing nail on her hand, and then at the nail in my hand, and she was about to snatch the small half of the nail in my hand, so fast, how can I stop it.

Seeing her casually throwing away the nail that she had snatched, I didn't panic, I just said: "Do you think I will be so stupid as to bring the real broken nail?"

"What? You?" Xiaoru's eyes flashed viciously, and her fingers hit my throat.

"There are palace people watching here, you can't kill me here." I said calmly.

Quickly withdrew the hand that was about to kill me, Xiaoru looked around nervously, saw some court ladies were already looking here, gritted her teeth and said, "How do you know it's me?"

"your eyes."

"Eye?"

"Yes, since I came to the Queen's Palace, you have been looking at me with resentment and resentment, which left a deep impression on me. I kept thinking about where I saw this pair of eyes, until I bit your hand, a pair of clean eyes Flawless hands, there are not many people in the palace who have such hands. I thought about many people, and finally I thought of you. You have been with tea sets since you were a child, and you never do anything with your hands except brewing tea. "

"Su En, it seems that you are not stupid."

"I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to be from the previous dynasty."

"There are so many things you didn't expect." Xiaoru laughed angrily, approached me, and said in a very soft voice, "Do you think I can't kill you under the eyes of everyone?"

After finishing speaking, she took out a dagger that was only as long as her index finger from her sleeve and shook it in front of me. Under the dim moonlight, this dagger was so thin that it was almost transparent.

"This is called a cloud dagger. It is made of a special medicinal material. You should know that there are many acupuncture points in the human body." She stretched out her index finger to touch a certain place on my chest, and her giggle was a bit weird, "Take When the cloud dagger stabs here, it only takes a blink of an eye, and it will melt into your flesh and blood. It will not kill you immediately, and there are no scars. Most importantly, outsiders will never be able to see that you have been injured. Yes, do you want to try it?"

I took a step back in panic and looked at her warily.

"Can I escape?" Xiao Ru's smile was even more glaring, just as she raised the cloud dagger and stabbed at me, Bai Xuan who was hidden in the dark suddenly slapped her shoulder.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xiao Ru's body was shot three feet away, and she didn't fall to the ground until she hit a tree.

Bai Xuan's palm was extremely heavy, Xiao Ru vomited three more mouthfuls of blood, struggled to get up, she had no strength left, and only stared at me with resentful eyes.

I still can't figure it out, why Xiaoru hates me so much?
I didn't do anything to apologize to her.

"Bai Xuan, you're too harsh." I couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry, I only hit her on the shoulder and avoided her heart, she won't die." Bai Xuan glanced at me coldly, "Don't think of women, you should be ruthless when dealing with this kind of person, or you will die." It's me."

Knowing that what Bai Xuan said was not unreasonable, and seeing Xiaoru's dying appearance, I couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

At this moment, Bai Xuan's expression changed, "Be careful of hidden weapons." The next moment, he hugged me and jumped up, palms together, sending out a gust of wind.

Hearing Xiaoru's scream, looking around, three needles about two inches long were deeply inserted into Xiaoru's shoulders, her shoulders turned black and black at the moment of the needles, were they poisonous needles?
She actually wants to kill me under such circumstances?
Looking at her blankly, what kind of resentment does she have towards me?
At this moment, Bai Xuan let go of me and walked towards her.

"Bai Xuan, what are you doing?"

"Kill her."

"No." I stopped in front of him.

"You are so stupid. She tried to kill you again and again, but you still want to let her go?"

"Did you forget that there are two masked people?" Killing people is always unacceptable to me. Life is the most precious thing in my eyes, whether it is myself or others, and I also have many doubts about Xiaoru.

"Okay, I'll put her in prison first." Bai Xuan said that he was about to do it.

Xiaoru shouted sharply: "There is a difference between men and women, don't touch me, as soon as you get close to me, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, then you will never know who that masked man is."

At this moment, she actually still cares about the difference between men and women?

I just feel unspeakably weird.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can find out." Bai Xuan snorted coldly.

"Let me come." Walking in front of Xiaoru, I said indifferently, "However, I can only support you. You still have to walk this part of the road by yourself."

The injuries on my body did not allow me to exert too much force.

"can."

Bai Xuan looked at me with a look of contempt and irony.

I turn a blind eye to it, everyone thinks differently, does it differently, and what they think in the bottom of their hearts is even more different.

It's not that I sympathize with Xiaoru, nor is it that I am kind. After so many things, the current me is no longer the original me.

I really have too many doubts about Xiaoru, maybe approaching her can let me know something more.

And the actions I made with this fleeting thought really did me a lot of harm.

Just when I helped her up, Xiao Ru's head fell on my shoulder, her gaze kept on looking at Bai Xuan who was walking in front, her steps became slower and slower.

"Are you still thinking of killing me?" Seeing Xiaoru's pale face turn black, I sneered, "Your needle is poisonous, so it may be difficult to even move your fingers right now."

"Su En, you can't hand me over to the emperor." Xiao Ru said weakly, panting slightly.

"Do you think I will be merciful to a man who wants to kill me again and again?"

"You must save me."

"I won't save you."

"You must save me, or you will be sorry for my brother, Tang Yu."

"You, what did you say?"

"I'm Tang Yu's younger brother. I'm a man, not a woman."

"You, you say it again."

"You should know about this, right? Tang Yu has a younger brother. Back then, his father wanted to exchange him with the crown prince. In the end, the queen changed his mind, but he didn't send him out of the palace, but arranged him by his side. Close protection. He said that he likes the prince, but it is only to hide his true identity and not arouse others' suspicion of him. I, I am this him, Tang Yu's younger brother. If I die now, you will kill him. How can you be sorry for my dead brother?"

At this moment, I even forgot to breathe, just looked at Xiao Ru in shock.

"Don't you believe it?" She held me with a trembling hand and put it into her underwear, where, extremely flat, was the chest of an out-and-out young man.

As if being burned, I quickly withdrew my hand.

"Believe it? You must save me."

My thoughts were confused and confused.

Xiao Ru is a man?Is it Tang Yu's younger brother?

Impossible, impossible.

The queen, Aunt Lian, was for fans at that time... The queen also said that Xiaoru was a chess piece trained by the prince...

Xiaoru likes the prince, in order to get close to the prince, she made tea late at night to meet him...

Do everything possible to please the prince.

fake?

All of this is my own participation.

The voice as small as a gossamer sounded in my ears again, "Su En, you must save me, my brother died because of you, you owe him your life, the antidote...the antidote is...in my arms. "

Xiaoru fainted to the ground.

I didn't hold him, and I didn't have the strength to hold him.

Baixuan came over, glanced at me impatiently, grabbed Xiaoru's waist and walked towards the dungeon.

"Wait...wait a minute." I haven't cleared my mind yet, but if I don't open my mouth, once I enter the dungeon, Xiao Rushi will definitely die, and my identity will be exposed.

"What else is there?" Bai Xuan frowned tightly.

"I," struggling violently in my heart, but when I thought of Tang Yu, the days we spent together, and his death, I couldn't harden my heart, and finally said, "Can you send her to my room?"

"She is a remnant of the previous dynasty."

"I know, I just can't bear it."

Bai Xuan ignored me, instead he walked quickly towards the dungeon.

"Bai Xuan, you owe me two favors. I saved you from the ice torture twice, and now I want to get one back." I shouted at him.

"You saved me voluntarily, I didn't ask you." The disgust towards me in Bai Xuan's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"But it's true that I saved you."

He pursed his lips tightly, Qingcheng's face sank, stared at me for a long time with sharp eyes, and said: "I can send her to Liuyi Hall, but as long as her injury improves a little, she must be locked up in the dungeon."

"Okay, okay." I nodded quickly, for fear that he would go back on his word.

"Also, the two favors are canceled at once."

"Okay." I never thought of asking him to return the favor, and just blurted out out of desperation.

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the palace people, Bai Xuan brought Xiao Ru Shi Qinggong back to the Yi Palace, while I returned from the original road pretending to be nonchalant.

When she returned to Liuyi Hall, Xiao Ru had already been placed in San'er's small side room.

"Are you sure you want to keep her?" Bai Xuan asked dutifully despite his impatience.

"Yes."

"It's so stupid, you will only drag the emperor down."

"Isn't my every move under your nose? I believe you will tell the emperor about it soon, right?" I looked at him calmly.

"good."

I nodded, "Bai Xuan, how can I use up my kung fu?"

"Why are you asking this?" Bai Xuan stared in surprise, and said after a while, "If you don't use internal energy, you can only use medicine."

"You should have it? Go get it for me."

After staring at me quietly for a long time, Bai Xuan turned and left.

Entering the small side room, Xiaoru was lying on the bed with bruises all over her face, not waking up yet.

I looked at his face quietly, feeling very sour for a moment.

He is the person Tang Yu wants to protect with all his heart, but he wants to kill me again and again.

All along, Tang Yu thought that the prince was his real brother.

It doesn't matter anymore, since he already knows the facts, he wants to fulfill his wish.

Xiaoru took out a small white bottle from his arms, opened the cork, and there was a black pill the size of a finger inside, this is the antidote, right?

Without any hesitation, I stuffed it into his mouth.

Because of Tang Yu, I can't ignore him, but I can't let him harm Yan Qi either.

Soon, the poisonous gas on Xiaoru's face disappeared, revealing a pale and bloodless face, he still showed no sign of waking up, with such a serious injury, he won't wake up for a while.

Looking closely at him, he looks a bit like Tang Yu, but he always treats her as a girl, unexpectedly...

The wooden door was pushed open, Bai Xuan walked in, and handed me a white pill.

When I took it, I said in a deep voice: "Bai Xuan, I love the Emperor, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for him."

This time, Bai Xuan didn't speak, but gave me a cold look, and went out.

Martial arts are the second life for martial arts practitioners, especially for masters, with Xiaoru's skill, he must be the master of masters, heh, who in the palace is not a master?
Looking at the white pill in my hand, I thought deeply.

Until there was a sound on the bed.

Looking up, I saw Xiao Ru opened his eyes, seeing me, his blank eyes filled with resentment again, if it wasn't for his being unable to move, he might kill me again right now.

"You hate me because I killed your father, Eunuch Lu."

"good."

Yes, only this kind of hatred can make Xiaoru want to kill me again and again.

At that time, I didn't know where the courage came from, so I raised my sword and stabbed Eunuch Lu, but I didn't regret it.

Tang Yu's heartache when he died is still in his heart.

"The poison on your body has been cured."

Small as a sneer, it looks exactly like this.

"Do you know what this is?" I took out the white pill and put it in front of him.

"Could it be that you want to poison me to death?" Seeing that I was silent, he said, "You don't know how, or you would be sorry for my dead brother."

"Yes." I nodded, "You are the one Tang Yu wants to protect. I don't want you to die, but I also don't want the person I love to be hurt."

"You're so lowly. It's been less than a year since my brother died, yet you fell in love with the emperor who killed my brother." Xiao Ru sneered.

"Tang Yu was not killed by the emperor, it was your father who forced him to death, and he killed Tang Yu." I spoke calmly, but couldn't hide the pain in my heart.

Xiaoru bit her lower lip tightly, and stared at me fiercely, "It was the emperor who killed my brother, my brother was so kind to you, and you even flirted with his enemies, you are a fool at all, more than a brothel woman." Not as good."

My face turned pale in an instant, the pain in my heart was unstoppable, I bit my lower lip tightly, and said slowly: "As long as you take this pill, your skill will disappear, and you will be like an ordinary person from now on."

"What? Are you going to abolish my martial arts? How dare you?"

"I love the emperor, and I want to keep you, but I will never let the person I love be in danger."

"I'm afraid at this time, the person you want to protect is already besieged on all sides."

"What do you mean?"

"It's okay to tell you, all the imperial guards in the palace are ours, and the emperor is surrounded by only his hidden guards. At this moment, the imperial guards may have surrounded him."

"I won't believe what you said." He squeezed his jaw tightly, forcing him to open his mouth, "But in order not to make you make trouble again, I must abolish your martial arts."

Xiao Ru started to struggle, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes, but the injury was too serious, and struggling didn't help me at all.

It was easy to throw the pill into his mouth. After a long time, even if he didn't swallow it, the medicine melted at this moment, so I let him go.

"You?" Xiaoru wanted to vomit, but was unsuccessful, so she quickly tapped a few big acupuncture points all over her body, and began to try to force out the medicine.

At this moment, the window was blown open by a gust of wind, and a masked man in black stood in front of me.

Just when he was attacking me with one hand, I smiled calmly without any panic, "Aunt Suyan, I've always wanted to see you, how are you doing recently?"

The masked man in black stopped his movements, his exposed eyes flashed with astonishment, then dimmed again, and he stretched out his hand to take off the mask.

The moment I saw her face, I smiled wryly.

"How do you know it's mine?" Aunt Su's voice was hoarse.

"Guess."

Aunt Su was taken aback, "Guess? You caught Xiaoru, I thought...how did you guess?"

Looking at Aunt Su's thin face, I said calmly: "From the very beginning, I thought it was very strange why the empress concubine Liu would transfer you to Concubine Liu's palace, and always send you to do some rough work. What is the relationship between you and Concubine Liu?" What happened? Later, someone said to me, "Concubine Liu loves the emperor with all her heart, and also helps him with all her heart." You are the steward of the laundry bureau, so nothing big can happen, Concubine Liu is like this For you, there is only one reason, that is, you want to be unfavorable to the emperor. According to Concubine Liu's personality, she could kill you, but she didn't, but kept you. This shows one thing, that is, you are very important, or She wants to know what secrets you have."

Aunt Su's expression became more and more bitter.

"Later, Concubine Liu came to tell me that you were sick and asked me to visit. I was also wondering why she was so enthusiastic? Now that I think about it, she must think that I am in the same boat as you. I don't Make sure that the masked person is you, it's just associated with your matter."

At this time, Xiao Ru spat out a mouthful of blood, and Aunt Suyan's eyes flashed with panic, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Xiao Ru, is your injury okay?"

"Quick, quickly force me out of the medicine, she," Xiaoru pointed at me with a trembling hand, and said bitterly, "She gave me the medicine to vent power, and I have used my internal force to force it out for a while, but the power of the medicine Too strong."

Aunt Suyan suddenly looked at me.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "Take Xiaoru away, the farther the better."

No matter what kind of secret Aunt Suyan has, I don't want to know.

Letting go of Tang Yu's most cherished person is the only thing I can do for him.

"I won't leave." Aunt Suyan said sadly.

"Eunuch Lu is dead, Tang Yu is also dead, the queen is under house arrest, Xiao Ru has been abolished by me, what do you want to argue about?" I don't understand.

Xiaoru spat out another mouthful of blood, grabbed Aunt Suyan's hand, and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking to her, I only have [-]% of my kung fu left, if you don't save me, I will really become useless gone."

"Auntie, do you like living in the shadow of swords and swords so much?"

Aunt Suyan looked between Xiaoru and me, struggling and hesitating. In the end, her eyes fixed on Xiaoru's face, almost pleading, "Xiaoru? Let's leave the palace."

"Don't even think about it." Xiaoru gritted her teeth and said to me with a tense and bloodless face, "It's useless to say anything, as long as I stay in the palace for one day, she won't leave. Do you know why? Because I It's her son, who was discarded by her and used as a pawn by her."

"I didn't, Xiao Ru, it's really not me, I... I... I've been looking for you for more than ten years." Aunt Su tightly grabbed Xiao Ru's hand, choking with pain.

In the past few days, there have been too many shocking things, but I was still very surprised when I heard what Xiao Ru said.

Shaking Aunt Suyan's hand away, Xiaoru pointed at me and said indifferently: "Aren't you going to kill this woman? She's useless already."

useless?Am I of any use to them?

The doubts in my heart increased.

Aunt Su pleaded softly: "Xiao Ru, please let En En go, she is innocent."

"She's innocent? What about me? She's going to ruin my martial arts. If you want me to call you mother, kill her."

"Xiaoru?" Aunt Su didn't know what to do for a moment.

I closed my eyes and sighed, knowing that it was useless to talk too much, but I still wanted to give Xiao Ru one last chance, "Xiao Ru, are you really unwilling to leave the palace?"

"Leaving the palace?" Xiaoru smiled wryly, "Then I'd rather die."

Looking at Xiaoru's gloomy gaze, I said silently in my heart: Tang Yu, I did my best. Now, I have someone I want to protect, and I must never let others hurt him, even if this person is your most cherished person.

"Bai Xuan." I called softly.

The door was pushed open.

But there was no sound for a long time, and Xiaoru and Aunt Suyan were not surprised.

With a sinking heart, I turned around and saw Zhao Yuefu looking at me with a smile. Behind her were dozens of men in black.

"How could it be you?" I took a step back in shock, "Where's Bai Xuan?"

"I can't beat it and run away." Zhao Yuefu gracefully sat down on the stool beside her.

"You," I realized that my hands were trembling, I suppressed my panic, and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"Come to complete our deal." Zhao Yuefu smiled happily, "Don't forget that it is clearly written in black and white, as long as you complete what you promised, you can leave the palace immediately."

Leaving the palace?Yes, how could I forget, I once made a deal with her.

But I don't want to go out now.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yuefu looked me up and down carefully, and laughed sharply, "Looking at you, it seems like you want to break the contract. Could it be that you don't want to leave the palace?"

"Yes." I don't know why, when I heard her laughter, my heart trembled.

"At that time, you said categorically that you would leave the palace."

"I've changed my mind now."

"Is it for the emperor?" Zhao Yuefu's smile slowly widened.

"Anyway, I won't leave the palace."

"That's not okay. If you ruin the deal, you will lose money. That's a huge sum." Zhao Yuefu was still laughing, and she hadn't stopped laughing since she came in.

"My man is the current emperor, he can afford it." I looked at her warily, not missing any of her expressions, trying to see some clues from her expressions and behavior, but there was nothing.

I felt great anxiety.

"Your man? Isn't it Tang Yu? By the way, he's dead, of course you have to find another lover."

"Tang Yu's spirit in heaven also hopes that I will be happy. Now, I am living a happy life."

"It turns out that I have changed my mind and fell in love with the emperor. No wonder I don't want to leave the palace. Also, how can the poor life outside the palace compare to the glory and wealth in the palace?" Zhao Yuefu sighed and shook her head again.

"Can you go now?" I said calmly.

"Let's go? I'm here to save people. How can I leave if I don't save people?"

"Rescue?"

Zhao Yuefu pointed at Xiaoru and Aunt Suyan.

I had already expected it, "Go ahead."

Zhao Yuefu stood up and looked at me with a smile, "Although I can't bear it, I still need to wake you up when we get to know each other. The happiness you mentioned is just a drama carefully staged by the emperor."

"What do you mean?"

"Conferring you as a concubine, doting on you in every possible way, even sleeping until the sun rises and forgetting the morning court, these are all carefully planned by the emperor."

"Bureau?"

"That's right, the emperor did this just to get something beneficial to him from you, because he suspects that you are also a member of the previous dynasty, and you are also an extremely important person."

"What nonsense?"

"The queen and concubine An are like this. The emperor resorted to various methods, and the beauty trick is his most common method. Otherwise, the queen and concubine An would not have turned against each other. They even fought openly and secretly for more than ten years. The emperor also From their mouths, I learned many secrets of the former court party, how do you think he knew about the Mid-Autumn Festival poisoned moon cake incident and the palace rebellion incident? Even if Concubine Liu is a master at detoxification, she can still have the ability to predict the future?"

"Do you think I will believe what you say?" Concubine An is also from the previous dynasty?How many remnants of the previous dynasty are there in this palace?
"Believe it or not, these days, he ordered Bai Xuan to guard your Liuyi Palace, did he tell you that he was protecting you? In fact, he used you as a bait to lure people from the former court party."

"Stop talking, I won't believe what you say."

"I said it is up to you to believe it or not, but since I have said it, of course I have to finish it. You have also seen how the women in the harem survive in the palace, let alone the emperor who is the king of ten thousand chariots? You never wondered why he was surrounded by so many women from the former court party, how could he be so calm and easy? On the surface, he seems indifferent to everything, but every time a situation arises, he can always save the day. Why is that?"

"He is the emperor, so of course he has his own sources?"

"It's not even more strange. There are so many people from the former government who don't use it, but would rather spend time looking for sources of information?"

Zhao Yuefu spoke lightly, but every word she said made waves in my heart.

I know I can't believe what she said, but these words make sense.

"There is another thing that is even more strange." Zhao Yuefu's crystal eyes became brighter, as if talking about these things would make her energetic. "A majestic emperor, with so many concubines, how come there are only two princes? The relationship between the second prince and the prince?" There is still more than one round of age difference between them? It is unbelievable, there is only one possibility, he does not want these women to give birth to his children. According to my investigation, the queen had three miscarriages, while An Fei had four miscarriages, The pity is that the two cousins ​​thought that these were all done by each other, so the deep friendship broke down and began to intrigue. In fact, these were all done by the emperor's order, and then framed. But there are people from the emperor, like Mingxiu."

"What are you talking about?" So what if what she said was true?In such an environment, he must also protect himself.

"Do you know how Mingxiu died?" Zhao Yuefu straightened her temples and looked at the pale Suyan with burning eyes, "She killed her. killed."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I just want to tell you that the emperor is a suspicious person. He doesn't trust people, let alone lovers. You are just like the queen and Concubine An. You have been deceived by him. Besides, your appearance is only delicate. How could he fall in love with you?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs with him."

"Think about it clearly. If you leave the palace now, you will see a bright road in front of you. On the contrary, it will be a thorny road that will never be peaceful. You will be the next empress, the next Concubine An."

"What conspiracy do you have, why are you so obsessed with getting me out of the palace?" My heart was in a mess, even though I loved Yanqi, even though I believed in him, Zhao Yuefu's words made a hole in my heart .

"It's not a conspiracy." Zhao Yuefu smiled comfortably, "I'm asking about your choice for a partner."

"Partner? Choose?"

Zhao Yuefu suddenly approached me, and whispered in my ear: "Should I choose the emperor, or..." The following words were inaudible.

And I, like being struck by lightning.

"Want to see him? At this moment, he should be at the south gate." Zhao Yuefu looked at me with a smile for a while, and when I opened my eyes, she gestured to the men in black behind me, and soon, among them The three men in black brought Xiaoru and Aunt Suyan out of Liuyi Hall.

I shook my head, but I didn't know what I was shaking.

"I'm telling the truth." Zhao Yuefu emphasized again.

"You are so noisy." This is actually the only sentence I can say at this moment.

"Do you want to go to the South Gate? Don't you miss him? Don't you want to see him?" Zhao Yuefu coaxed me.

I stood up slowly and walked out of Liuyi Hall step by step.

I warned myself not to believe what Zhao Yuefu said, but...

Gritting my teeth, I lifted my skirt and ran towards the south gate.

"Boss Fu, shouldn't it be the north gate? Why did you tell her to go to the south gate? The south gate is all the emperor's people." After I left, a man in black asked Zhao Yuefu, "In this way, the emperor You won't fall into our trap."

"Do you think she will believe what I say?" Zhao Yuefu said indifferently, "I have my own arrangements."

It will be dawn in two hours.

The night wind already had the chill of early winter, and when it blew, it made my mind sober.

The pace stopped.

No, Zhao Yuefu cannot be trusted, such a thing is too absurd, how can I believe it?

There must be a conspiracy.

Think about it and think about what to do.

south gate?Why did Zhao Yuefu want me to go to the south gate?
Walking slowly on the long palace road, my thoughts turned thousands of times.

The whole palace was very quiet, surprisingly quiet.

The uneasiness in my heart has been expanding.

Just as I walked through a round door, I was suddenly pulled in by someone, and my subconscious cry for help was muffled by a pair of cold and slender hands.

"it's me."

"Concubine An?"

Under the night light, Concubine An was dressed up, her black hair was simply tied up, and I was taken aback by her neat appearance.

Concubine An made a shush gesture, and pulled me into the bushes beside me.

She seems to be waiting for someone.

"Concubine An, how could you?"

Concubine An stopped me from continuing, and said in a very low voice: "Don't ask anything, you will know later."

After half a stick of incense, Xiaoling quietly appeared beside us, and said softly: "Madam, I found out, all the imperial guards have gone to the north gate, and from the perspective of this servant, the emperor will definitely be there."

Concubine An frowned, "Shouldn't it be the South Gate?"

"The south gate has been captured by the rebellious Royal Forest Army."

"So the emperor is in danger?" Concubine An's eyes flashed nervously.

Xiao Ling nodded, "There are less than 50 personal guards around the emperor. The slaves overheard the Imperial Forest Army saying that the emperor's personal guards suffered heavy casualties in the battle at the South Gate."

"How could this be?" Concubine An clenched her fists, her face extremely ugly.

"Ma'am, what should we do?" Xiaoling asked anxiously.

"Su En." Concubine An suddenly held my hand and looked at me sincerely, "I know, I did too much to you before, but I was forced to do so. The emperor is in danger now, and I want to help you He does something."

"What does the lady want to do?"

Concubine An shook her head, pleading, "Don't ask anything, I just want to ask you to take good care of the second prince for me."

"Your Majesty is joking again." I am still wary of Concubine An, especially at this time, I am afraid that she will take advantage of the chaos and harm me.

"Okay, even if I'm joking, can you promise me?"

Xiaoling also said: "Your concubine, please agree to my mother, there is no loss to you."

Looking at the begging eyes of the master and servant, I nodded.

No matter which play An Fei is singing, let's talk about it after tonight.

"Thank you." An Fei's voice was choked with sobs, she took a step closer, and hugged me gently.

Just when I thought Concubine An's move was too abrupt, I heard her say: "Go to the south gate, don't go to the north gate."

When she let me go, she wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at me nonchalantly, "Xiao Ling, let's go." It seemed that the voice just now was just my illusion.

Looking at her back melting into the night, my heart was disturbed.

south gate?North Gate?
What happened in the end?

Squatting down, I had no clue, let alone direction.

Where to go?

Zhao Yuefu asked me to go to the south gate.

Concubine An also asked me to go to the south gate.

But Xiaoling said that the south gate was captured, and the emperor went to the north gate.

Why did Concubine An still want me to go to the south gate after Xiao Ling said so clearly?

Who should I trust?

Can't believe Zhao Yuefu.

In order to fight for favor, Concubine An may also harm me.

Waves of helplessness came to my heart, and I couldn't judge at all, and I couldn't tell who was helping and who was hurting.

Not even knowing what happened.

Why is this happening to me?

Even in the palace, I just want to live in peace and stability, and I don't want to get involved in these things at all.

Bite your lower lip tightly, I won't go to the south gate, nor will I go to the north gate, I'm afraid of doing something wrong, I'm afraid of being used to do something that hurts Yan Qi, as long as I don't choose, nothing will happen, right?

Yes, don’t choose, just don’t trust anyone, just stay here and wait for the dawn.

Having made up my mind, I hid myself deeper in the bushes.

At this time, a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded outside the bushes, and peeking out in a panic, it was the Royal Forest Army.

Xiaoling said that the Imperial Forest Army rebelled, so what about these people?
"Lord Jing, don't worry, these imperial guards are the late emperor's cronies, and this subordinate will go to the north gate to help the emperor." A loud voice said.

Master Jing?Jing Lin?

I was overjoyed.

"I'll go with you, and this time I will wipe out all the members of the previous party." Jing Lin said in a low voice.

I quietly stuck out half of my head to see if it was Jing Lin, but I only saw Jing Lin's back in a hurry.

Under the starry sky, there was another piece of silence.

He had just made up his mind to stay here, but now he began to hesitate again.

I want to see Yan Qi, I really want to see him soon, here, I don't feel safe, just lonely and helpless.

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a white shadow drifting by, and he looked suddenly. In the darkness, a man in white looked around from time to time, his whole body was on alert and galloped towards the north gate with Qinggong.

It's not real, but judging from that figure, it should be Bai Xuan?

Both Bai Xuan and Jing Lin headed towards the north gate, then I...

Without any hesitation anymore, I walked quickly towards the north gate.

There are five gates in the imperial palace, the main gate is the main gate, and the four gates are supplemented by four gates in the southeast and northwest. The east and west gates are inside, which are the harem and the front hall of the upper court, and the isolation gate between the house of internal affairs and the harem. The north and south gates are outside and belong to the main gate. Two doors outside.

Along the way, from time to time, you will bump into the Royal Forest Army walking around. The closer you get to the north gate, the more people there are.

I gradually became suspicious in my heart. Although I was walking in the dark, I shouldn't be so guarded. Even I can easily get in. Wouldn't it be easier for the former party...

Just as I was thinking about this, a lazy laugh sounded from my side, "Although the road is not far, but for you who have injured your foot, this road is also torture, right?"

During this section of the journey, her voice made my whole body almost jump up. Looking at Zhao Yuefu, who was sitting ten meters away from me, drinking tea gracefully, I said in amazement: "You, how could you be here? here?"

Zhao Yuefu shrugged innocently, "Of course I want to be here, the north gate has already been captured by my people, except for the south gate, the entire palace is in my palm."

A sentence that is easy to understand.

One sentence that is easy to understand.

But I only felt that my body was thrown into the sky and then kicked to the ground heavily.

Zhao Yuefu clapped her hands, and saw two slender men appearing in front of her, one of them was dressed in white and looked very similar to Bai Xuan, while the other said, "I'll go with you, this time We will wipe out all the members of the previous party." It was Jing Lin's voice, so similar that even Jing Lin himself could not tell the difference.

"Don't be too surprised. There are many similar people in this world, so you should be fooled. Are you tired after walking such a long way?" Zhao Yuefu pointed to the empty chair beside her, her cherry lips slightly parted, looking In a good mood, "Sit down and have a cup of tea?"

The whole body was cold, and I felt that I couldn't find any warmth in my whole body. I backed up step by step, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by two men in black.

"It really doesn't give me face." Zhao Yuefu sighed.

"What are you trying to do?" I turned to her sharply.

"Can't you see the obvious thing? Change the dynasty."

"Change of dynasty?"

Zhao Yuefu nodded.

"Change the dynasty?" I murmured again.

"Is it so unacceptable?"

She thought that she just had ambition, and all the feats she did were just to become the number one businessman in the world.

She said that business is easy to do in troubled times. When she traded with me, although I thought she was bold, I just felt that she was trying to realize her ideal.

Unexpectedly, she was actually fighting in it.

The ambition is so great that it is shocking.

"You will not succeed."

"That's hard to say," Zhao Yuefu said to the man beside her, "Go to deliver a letter to the emperor, just say that I am drinking tea and chatting with Su En."

"Yes." The man jumped up and disappeared.

Seeing me biting my lower lip tightly and staring at her, Zhao Yuefu smiled nonchalantly, "Do you think the emperor will come? Heh, will the emperor come alone, or will he come in with someone?"

"You are despicable and shameless." My voice trembled with anger.

"I'm a businessman, and what I despise most is being upright, but I still don't think the emperor would go into danger alone for someone like you, but there is one person who firmly believes that he said that the emperor will definitely come for you."

"The emperor will never believe that I am here."

"He believed, didn't I tell you? Bai Xuan couldn't beat him and ran away, where could he go? Naturally, he went to tell the emperor."

"You?" I clenched my fists, no, at this time, I can't be angry, if I want to escape from here, I must escape from here.

If you look closely, you will find that here is a post at five steps, and a sentry at ten steps. There are so many people and strict guards that even a fly cannot fly in.

My heart is getting colder and colder, and I am more and more afraid, afraid that Yan Qi will really come.

"Do you want to know who it is who said the emperor will come for you?"

"I have no interest." I replied coldly.

Zhao Yuefu narrowed her eyes, looked me up and down, and clicked her tongue a few times, "Actually, you are quite pitiful, alas, I have been wondering why a person like you survived?"

"Don't worry about it."

"I'm not worried, but I've always hated stupid people, especially those who are so stupid." Zhao Yuefu sat down again, took a sip of the hot tea just poured by the man in black, squinted her eyes, and let out a little sarcasm , "You should know that the queen's feelings for Jing Lin are just acting, right?"

Turning my head, I don't want to answer her anymore.

My heart is in a mess and I am extremely anxious. I can't escape from here. Am I really just sitting there waiting to die?
I hate myself for being so easily fooled.

Why didn't you think about it then?

"Looking at your expression, it seems that you have never thought about that question. You are so stupid that you are hopelessly stupid. Since the queen has no feelings for Jing Lin, what does it have to do with you marrying Jing Lin? How about pushing it before the emperor?"

Looking at Zhao Yuefu, there was a trace of pity, a trace of ridicule, and a trace of watching a show in her eyes.

I never thought about this problem, or rather, never found it.

Undoubtedly, her question attracted all my attention, and I even forgot that I was in a dangerous situation, and I heard myself asking: "Why?"

"It's obvious, someone wants to dedicate you to the emperor." Zhao Yuefu laughed out loud as if it was funny.

"What's the purpose?" I asked her very intently. I have never been so focused since I grew up, so that everything was left behind by me.

"Since you are sent to the emperor, the purpose is of course related to the emperor. What is the purpose of those people from the former court party sending the queen and concubine An to the emperor?"

"Beauty trick?" I was like a good student, eager to tell my master the answer.

"clever."

"I have neither talent nor looks."

Zhao Yuefu tapped the chair with one hand, "In other words, the person who wants to send you to the emperor must know that there must be something about you that attracts the emperor."

"Why did he do this?"

"This history is very long. Since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, the remnants of the previous dynasty have continued to cause chaos, and even caused disasters to the palace. It is strange. Under such circumstances, the Yan Dynasty can still flourish. You should have heard the story of the first emperor, right? The emperor fell in love with the princess of the previous dynasty and made her a concubine, and this empress gave birth to Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu was arranged to marry the woman of the previous dynasty. This is fate. The previous emperors were always entangled with these women. Women who fall in love with each other are even more strange. Once they fall in love with a man, they will forget their mission and put all their heart on the man. Fortunately, the emperors of the Yan family are infatuated, but the current emperor is not. Falling in love with any woman is special to you."

"and then?"

"Once a man is attracted to a woman, he is not far from love. Given the great achievements of his ancestors in love, the emperor should be an infatuated kind. Just give them another chance, but at this time, he agrees to marry you Jing Lin, and I will stop asking about your affairs. It seems that the emperor is a person who values ​​country more than women, so I have no choice but to create another opportunity."

"What kind of opportunity?"

Zhao Yuefu raised her eyebrows, "Of course Su En can't marry Jing Lin, so I'll ask my personal girl to replace her. As for the real Su En, she returned to her hometown, but she didn't expect to meet her on the way home." You fell into banditry and rescued a woman named Xia Qingrou, but you are still unwilling to enter the palace. You have no choice but to send a killer. In order to survive, you have no choice but to enter the palace. Xiunu, of course you have to be accompanied by a maid, this is the best reason for you to enter the palace, I don't need to talk about the next thing."

My voice was a little stiff, "How did Xia Qingrou die?"

"I killed her. She and that Yang Qing'er found out my secret by accident. She could have spared her life. It's just that she is a person who talks too much, but that Yang Qing'er is much easier to deal with. Just a few threats and just be obedient." For our use."

I nodded, my mind blank.

Zhao Yuefu made it very clear, really understood.

But I couldn't connect to those words in my mind, and I couldn't put them together paragraph by paragraph, or I didn't want to put them together at all, so I could only stand there in a daze.

Zhao Yuefu is really good at talking, and it seems to be true, but she has no evidence, does she?

It's all just speculation, let's forget it.

I can't put it in my heart.

At this moment, there was a loud noise, and in an instant, the earth shook.

I was suddenly shocked and fell to the ground.

Countless dusts also rushed towards the face like a violent storm, covering the entire north gate at once.

The eyes, ears, and mouth were all filled with countless fine dust.

I struggled to look around, and all the people were in a mess, in a state of disarray, barely standing up and then falling down.

"What happened?" It was Zhao Yuefu's urgent voice.

"It was an explosion, and the north gate was blown to pieces." One person replied.

At this time, there were several earth-shattering explosions, approaching from far away.

The climax mixed with dust rushed towards me again. The wind was so strong that I was thrown several meters away. I tried my best to hold on to the tree trunk beside me to stabilize my body.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Zhao Yuefu's urgent voice floated over again.

At this time, it is natural to run away.

I leaned against the tree trunk and left step by step with difficulty, when I suddenly heard someone shouting in front of me: "Boss Fu, be careful."

The next moment, there were several more explosions.

The body was in pain, and the whole body was lifted up by the sand tide brought by the explosion and thrown into the air.

Just when I thought I was going to fall to my death here, my body was hugged into a warm embrace.

I couldn't open my eyes, my face was covered with dust, let alone speak.

But this hug gave me a very familiar feeling, so familiar that it made me want to cry.

Without any hesitation, the face that I wanted to touch with both hands was stretched out into the air, and was pressed down by a pair of big hands. He hugged me tightly, and his body fell together.

When he hit the ground, he let me go and placed a wet sweat towel on my hand.

When I wiped off the dust on my face and opened my eyes, I found myself in the ruins of a rockery. How could there be anyone around?

I was so anxious to look around.

Who is that man?Who is the man who saved me?
I searched again, but still couldn't find it.

"Enn?" A cold, caring voice sounded from behind.

Turning around, I was tightly hugged.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Looking up, I saw the worry and tension in his eyes, seeing that I was fine, he was relieved, and looked at me with a smile, "It's good that I'm fine."

My eyes are still looking around, hoping to find something.

"I shouldn't have left you alone in Liuyi Palace." Yan Qi blamed himself, but then embraced me tenderly again, "I never expected that I would care about you so much."

"Your Majesty, according to the sound of those explosions, the explosives under the north gate should have blown up. If there is no accident, those people should all die under the explosion." It was Jing Lin's voice.

Only then did I realize that there were many people behind the emperor, including Bai Xuan, Qing Yi, Jing Lin, and even Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu looked at me with extremely complicated eyes. Seeing me suddenly looking at her, she turned her head coldly.

Jing Lin looked concerned.

"Enen, it's good that you're fine." Yan Qi held my hand.

Concubine Liu stood in front of me with a big stride, and asked coldly, "Aren't you at the north gate? Why are you here?"

"Yes." Qing Yi was also full of doubts, "The emperor came to save you, but why are you here?"

Bai Xuan looked around warily, and then his eyes fell on me.

It was Jing Lin who said softly, "It's a good thing you're not at the north gate, otherwise the emperor would be even more worried."

"There was an explosion at the north gate. I was rescued here." Facing the sharp eyes of several people, I said.

"Who?" Concubine Liu's eyes were even more compelling.

I shook my head, "I don't know."

"I don't know? You don't even know who saved you? Are you coaxing people?"

"I really don't know, the wind and dust are too big, and I can't open my eyes at all."

"Who will believe your nonsense."
