Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 116
The soldiers shone with torches like in the river, and there was no trace of the villain.

Li Dequan was the first to step on the boat the soldiers were riding on, and stretched out his hand to help the emperor come over.

It was dangerous, the boat was almost burnt out, if the soldiers hadn't arrived in time, they would have had to jump into the river.

The emperor also stepped over, and was about to reach out to support Chen Wenxin behind her, but his whole body collapsed all of a sudden.

No, it's a hit!

Chen Wenxin was right behind the emperor, and she grasped his hand sensitively, only to see that most of his body was already soaked in the river.

There are still killers lurking in the cold and dark river. They are on the river and can't see what's going on below!

The emperor only felt that his feet were firmly held by several hands, and he couldn't move at all.

Chen Wenxin tried hard to pull him up, but he couldn't pull him up.

Seeing the emperor's body sank more and more, Chen Wenxin simply jumped into the water by himself.

She explored the emperor's feet with her feet, and felt that there were several stiff hands from the emperor's feet to the calves, holding him firmly.

She kicked those hands with all her strength, trying to break free from the shackles of those hands for the emperor.

Those hands didn't move at first, and then maybe they were really hurt by Chen Wenxin's kick, and two hands actually grabbed Chen Wenxin's feet.

"Second brother, hurry up!"

Without the confinement of the two hands, the restraint on the emperor's feet is much less.

With Chen Wenyi's strength, the emperor was pulled out of the water.

Almost instantly, Chen Wen's heart sank.

"Near!"

Chen Wenyi jumped into the water directly, and the emperor was furious, "Get into the water, hurry up and save people!"

Some soldiers have already entered the water, and the rest dare not leave no matter what.
-
The emperor's life is what they should protect the most.

Li Dequan hurriedly persuaded the emperor, "Your Majesty, many people have already gone down, and I will definitely save the empress."

The emperor wished he could get into the water too, but he knew that once he got into the water too, it would be even more difficult to save Chen Wenxin.

Those soldiers have to be distracted by his safety and how to save people.

He weighed the pros and cons and decided to stay on board.

"Quickly go back to the station, and send the local yamen and troops downstream to save people!"

Chen Wenxin doesn't know water, she went into the water to save herself.

She kicked so hard on the hands that restrained his feet, the strength even made him feel pain.

In his mind, she will always be a lazy, delicate little girl.

It has so much strength.

The emperor's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists.

Nian Nian, you must be fine.

When Chen Wenyi got down the river, he saw several vague figures swimming out from the bottom of the water.

He followed those figures and swam quickly, but those figures got farther and farther away.

The water in the Qinhuai River at night was dim, and as the distance was opened, Chen Wenyi could no longer see those figures...

Whoa!
He stuck his head out of the water to breathe.

These gangsters are very good at water, not something ordinary people like me can catch up with.

Judging from the Yongli Tongbao, these scoundrels belonged to the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they fought under the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

So they want to assassinate the emperor.

There is a lot of water in the south, and the rivers are criss-crossing. No wonder these people are so good at water.

But Chen Wenxin can't swim. She was hijacked by gangsters and dragged in the water. Will she suffocate?

As long as he thought of this possibility, he couldn't continue thinking about it.

thump.

He plunged into the water again.

Chen Wenxin was lying on some hard object, sleeping very uncomfortably.

Her mind was heavy, like a big rock was pressing on her, making her frown in her sleep.

In a daze, I heard a familiar woman's voice, saying: "She still has a fever and is very weak. It may be fatal to start the journey now."

A stern male voice sighed: "The large and small water and land gates in Yangzhou have been blocked by Kangxi, and now I can't leave even if I want to."

The woman's voice paused for a while, and she said softly: "What are you afraid of, I have been operating in Yangzhou for many years, and they all have legitimate identities."

The male voice said anxiously: "We are not afraid, what about you? You have shown your face in front of Kangxi!"

The woman let out a chuckle, "What is Hongliu's humble life? I don't want it long ago."

The male voice became low, "Hongmei, why do you..."

Hongliu, this name is so familiar.

Chen Wenxin struggled to wake up from her sleep, her eyelids seemed to be heavy, and she couldn't help groaning in pain.

Hongliu heard the movement, and rushed to help her, "Miss, rest, you have a fever."

The man looked at her with coldness and contempt.

It seems that Hongliu shouldn't care about her life or death at all.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help shivering, Hongliu said: "Brother Liu, close the door, it's windy on the river."

The man called Big Brother Liu frowned, turned around and closed the door of the cabin reluctantly, walked over and sat down on a low stool.

Hongliu lifted her up and fed her hot water.

Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her lips were pale, looking like catkins blown by the wind, as if they would break at any time.

Chen Wenxin lowered his head and stared at the water, then quickly averted his eyes and looked at the furnishings in the cabin.

This boat was much larger than a painting boat, and it looked like a passenger ship for long-distance businessmen.

The layout in the cabin is simple and simple, a square table with paper and pens, a chair with some faded paint, and a few low stools.

Then came the wooden bed where Chen Wenxin was lying, covered with a thin gray-blue quilt.

It's also very clean, like a place where scholars live.

As she looked at the furnishings, her mind was spinning rapidly.

Last night they were tricked into boarding the boat by Hongliu. Hongliu pretended to have an unspeakable invisibility and tricked them into drinking tea before talking.

Fortunately, Chen Wenyi noticed something was wrong and asked Li Dequan to test for drugs.Li Dequan took out the silver needle, Hongliu was frightened and dropped Yongli Tongbao.

Her identity was revealed, and she left quickly from behind the cabin.Then the killer who was ambushing under the boat climbed up and wanted to kill the emperor.

In the end they pretended to be defeated, and when everyone was relaxed, the second group of people ambushed in the water dragged the emperor into the water.

In the end, in order to save the emperor, Chen Wenxin was dragged into the water by them, and soon lost consciousness...

After Chen Wenxin sorted out all these things in her mind, she couldn't help admiring that these Nanming people planned so carefully.

First, the red willow led people to swim in the Qinhuai River, and poisoned tea was the lowest level of assassination.

Then came the killer who climbed up from under the boat, but the killer failed, so people secretly dragged the emperor into the water.

If the emperor and Chen Wenxin hadn't been dragged into the water last night, what would they do next?

Seeing her looking around, the man surnamed Liu thought she was planning to escape, so he snorted coldly and said, "Don't be delusional, you can't escape. I checked your pulse, you don't have any force, and you are sick Crooked."

"I advise you to answer my question calmly, otherwise you won't die so beautifully!"

The man's eyes were cold, and Chen Wenxin was very annoyed by that look of contempt.

If you are anti-Qing and Fuming, you are noble, you don’t need to look at others as traitors, do you?
Chen Wenxin didn't speak, but just watched him lift his chin coldly, motioning for him to ask.

Pretend to be indifferent, who wouldn't?

When this surnamed Liu was called Hongmei just now, she wasn't so indifferent.

Didn't you hear when she really fell asleep?
The man frowned subconsciously and asked, "Who are you?"

The emperor once introduced himself to Hongliu as his wife, and the group of them had completely exposed their whereabouts in Suqian.

Anyone who is interested will know that the emperor has only brought a concubine on tour with him.

She thought for a while, and replied simply: "I am the emperor's concubine, the daughter of the first-class bodyguard Chen/Xihai."

"You really are a Han..."

The man surnamed Liu seemed to be very fond of frowning, frowning every time he said a word.

The surname Chen is also a common surname among the Han people, and Chen Wenxin looks like a Han Chinese. There is no doubt that she is a Han Chinese.

The man surnamed Liu said angrily, "Although you are Han Chinese, your ancestors were traitors. How can I tolerate you?"

The man seemed to be emotionally unstable, gnashing his teeth and about to stand up.

Red Willow blocked him and pushed him down on the low stool.

Chen Wenxin coughed violently a few times, seeming to be very frightened.

Hongliu was about to pour water for her, but with some strength, she pushed away Hongliu's hand.

"You are a traitor, and your whole family is a traitor!"

Chen Wenxin blushed, "When the Qing soldiers entered the pass, the Ming army was defeated, like a pile of loose sand. My grandfather was just a small soldier guarding the pass. How could he betray the country?"

"Yes, the emperor praised my Chen family in the name of Conglong Zhigong. The Han soldiers brought back from the pass at the time of Qing Taizu were all Conglong Zhigong!"

"Could it be because my grandfather was lucky enough to be used by Qing Taizu to buy people's hearts and make him a bodyguard, so our family is unforgivably guilty? Do you have to die to be happy?"

She became more and more anxious, her voice became hoarse and she continued, "Then why don't you so-called patriots die, but hide in the south to build a small court?"

The last sentence completely angered the man surnamed Liu, he drew his sword and stood up, and Chen Wenxin's eyes widened without any timidity.

cough.

She tensed her neck, as if she couldn't catch her breath.

Then, she fell directly on the bed.

Hong Liu stepped forward to test her breath, and looked at the man surnamed Liu in embarrassment.

"She passed out..."
