I cried for a long time, until Pei Zhao walked over, he whispered: "Prince Concubine." Then he said, "The generals said that when they arrived, they only saw Adu girl I passed out there and didn’t see the assassin, so I had to send the girl Adu back first. Now the nine gates are closed, the capital is under martial law, and the assassin can’t leave the city. The Royal Forest Army is searching the city, please don’t worry. , The assassin will never escape."
I looked at the thing Adusai gave me. It was very strange, like a piece of wood, with strange patterns carved on it. I didn't recognize what it was.
I gave it to Pei Zhao: "This was given to me by Adu, and it may have something to do with the assassin."
Pei Zhao suddenly took a breath, he must know this thing. I asked: "What is this?"
Pei Zhao took a step back, returned the piece of wood to me, and said: "It's a matter of great importance, please show your majesty to the princess."
I also think I should give this to the emperor. After all, he is the emperor, the father of my husband, and the most powerful emperor in the world. Someone wants to kill his son, wants to kill Adu, he should track down the murderer for us.
I wiped away my tears and asked Gong E beside me to report that I want to see His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor and the queen are still in the dormitory, the emperor quickly agreed to summon me, I walked in and saluted him: "Father."
I rarely see His Majesty the Emperor. Every time I see him, I am always on the throne far away. It is the first time that I am so close. I discovered that he was actually as old as my dad, with gray hair on his temples.
He was very kind to me, calling left and right: "Help the princess get up quickly."
I refused the support of the internal officer: "Adu who was next to the son-chen went to chase the assassin, but he was seriously injured and was just rescued by Lang Habayashi. She gave it to the son-chen, but the son-chen didn’t know it. , It must be an object related to the assassin." I lifted the piece of wood and knocked my head. "Please send someone to verify."
The internal officer took the piece of wood and presented it to the emperor. I saw the emperor’s face changed.
He turned to look at the queen: "Menian Mei!"
Only then did I know that the queen's name is Mei Niang.
The queen's face also changed drastically, she stood up suddenly and pointed at me: "You! You are framing!"
I looked at her inexplicably. The queen eagerly turned and knelt down: "Your Majesty observes carefully, Yin'er is a concubine to raise and grow up with one hand. The concubine's whole life has been devoted to Yin'er, and she will not harm him!"
The emperor did not speak, and the queen turned her face to scold me: "Whose instructed you to use such a method to climb the main palace?"
I can't even recognize the Chinese characters. I don't know what is engraved on that wood. I have never seen anything like this before, so I just looked at the queen inexplicably.
The emperor finally spoke: "Menian Mei, I'm afraid she never knew what this thing is, how could she slander you?"
The queen was shocked: "Your Majesty, your Majesty did not believe the rumors. Why did the courtiers murder the prince? Yin'er was raised up by me, and the courtiers regarded him as his own son..."
The emperor said indifferently: "Birth son...not necessarily."
The queen concealed her face and shed tears: "Your Majesty’s words are simply a condemnation of the heart. Except that the concubine did not have a pregnancy in October, how is it different from his biological mother? Yin'er was more than three months old, and I hugged him When he went to the Central Palace, his concubines brought him up, taught him how to be a man, and taught him to read... It was the concubine who persuaded his majesty to make him the prince. The concubine’s life's efforts have been put on him. Why did the concubine send someone to kill him? Him?"
The emperor suddenly smiled: "How innocent is Na Xu Baolin, why are you killing her?"
The queen suddenly raised her face and looked at the emperor in a daze.
"I don’t ask about things in the harem. It doesn’t mean that I don’t know. You have done enough for all the sins you have done. Why do you want to kill Xu Baolin? You don’t want to get rid of Zhao Liangdi. Zhao Liangdi’s father and brother both hold heavy arms and come Yin'er ascends the throne, even if you don’t make her a queen, the noble concubine is always indispensable. With such a foreign family, how can you not regard it as a confidant. You are so worried about Yin'er sitting firmly in the country, what are you afraid of? I am afraid that he will treat you. Is the mother in trouble?"
The queen reluctantly said: "Why should the concubines worry... Your majesty, these words, the concubines do not understand."
"Yeah, why are you worried?" The emperor said indifferently, "I'm just afraid that Yin'er knows that his biological mother, Concubine Shu... how did she die?"
The queen's face turned gray, and finally fell down there.
The emperor said: "In fact, you are still too eager, so why not wait another twenty years? When I die, Yin'er ascends the throne and wants to establish Zhao Liangdi as the queen, he will definitely turn his face with Xiliang. Xiliang used force and won. We have been fighting against Xiliang for generations. I am afraid that this battle will continue to be fought, and the disaster will continue to extend to the two countries. There will always be the day when people's grievances are boiling; if you lose, you just take this To make a fuss, it is not known to abolish him and establish a new emperor. This chess move, I am afraid that you have already thought of it when you persuaded me to make Yin'er and Xiliang married. Why did you suddenly become anxious? Is it because The crown prince and the crown princess suddenly played and mingled, and this pair of children is getting better, beyond your calculations?"
The queen murmured: "The concubine and his majesty's 30-year couple, it turns out that in his heart, the concubine was so unbearable."
"It's not that I thought you badly, but you did it badly." The emperor said coldly, "Karma, if you do too much evil, there are always flaws. You killed Concubine Shu, I didn't wrong you. .You have caused Xu Baolin’s miscarriage and put Zhao Liangdi in claustrophobia. I never asked you. I always thought you were just protecting yourself. If my son can’t handle these tricks, he’s not worthy of being a prince. Now you’re crazy and want I can't bear to murder Yin'er. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children. Although he is not your biological son, he was raised up by you after all. How can you bear it?"
The queen finally shed tears: "There is no concubine... even if your majesty refuses to believe it, the concubine really does not... the concubine never sends someone to murder Yin'er."
There was a chill in my heart, I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe everything I heard. The queen who is usually so noble and kind, turns out to be such a serious woman.
The emperor said: "For those things you have done, do I have to pull out all the human and physical evidence? Do I have to make an order for the court to interrogate you? If you are willing to plead guilty, I see it in three Ten years of husband and wife love, save your life."
The queen burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really wronged! The concubine is wronged!"
The emperor said coldly: "Twenty years ago, you sent someone to put the poisonous black candied fruit in the medicine of Concubine Shu. The prescription that wrapped the black candied fruit is still half of the time left. In the second dark cabinet of your middle palace. Do you have to send someone to find it out and force you to swallow that Wucanzi?"
When the queen heard his last words, she finally softened and collapsed to the ground and fainted.
I just feel that everything tonight is like five thunders, and now those thunders are still blasting vigorously on my head, one after another, which shocked me and made my whole person stupid.
The emperor turned his face and beckoned to me. I walked over carefully and knelt before him. He stretched out his hand, touched the top of my hair slowly, and said to me: "My child, don't be afraid, no one dares to hurt you anymore with the father here. When I asked Yin'er to marry you, it was actually mine. Meaning, because I know you girls in Xiliang treat people the best and the most true."
I'm not afraid, because his palms are very warm, like those of Daddy. In fact, he looks a lot like Li Chengyin, and I have never been afraid of Li Chengyin.
The emperor said to me: "Take good care of Yin'er. He has not had a mother since he was a child. Someone treats him sincerely, and he will give it to you."
Needless to say, I will also take good care of Li Chengyin.
But what happened tonight still makes me feel scared. I am sincerely scared. Everything in the palace is so terrible, and people's hearts are so complicated. Just like a queen, I never thought that she had harmed Xu Baolin's child because she wanted to blame Zhao Liangdi. Human life is really humble in their eyes, worse than ants. And Li Chengyin’s birth mother, Concubine Shu, why did the queen kill Concubine Shu because she wanted to take away Concubine Shu’s son?
All this is so terrible, it makes me shudder.
Li Chengyin was seriously injured, and he remained unconscious until three days later. I stood by his side in **** clothes.
His wound worsened, he had a high fever, dripping water couldn't get in, even the decoction was pried open his teeth and fed in little by little.
I think he might really not survive this time.
But I did not shed tears. At the most dangerous moment, he pushed me away. If he couldn't live anymore, I just accompany him to death.
Our girl in Xiliang is not crying and crying, I have already cried once, so I won't cry anymore.
Li Chengyin was in a coma, always muttering something constantly, I put my ear close to listen, it turns out that his name is "mother", just like that fever.
I remembered what the emperor had said. My heart felt softened. He was really a poor man. Although he was a prince, he had never seen his mother since he was a child. And the queen is so deliberate. If Li Chengyin knew that she killed his mother, he would definitely feel sad.
Many imperial doctors guard Li Chengyin. The emperor has already issued an edict to depose the queen, and the ruling and opposition parties are shaking, but there are many crimes of the queen listed in the edict, especially now that Li Chengyin's life or death is uncertain, the ministers can't say anything. I heard from the palaces that the queen’s natal family was extremely powerful and was inciting officials in the province under his control to oppose the deposing of the queen by not attaching the signature. I don't understand those things in the imperial court, and now I know that being an emperor is not just what I want to do.
I guarded Li Chengyin in the morning and went to see Adu in the afternoon.
Adu had a lot of wounds on her body, and she also suffered a very serious internal injury. Adu's martial arts was so high, and the assassin also injured her like this. She must be a peerless expert. Because the wound had to be changed, the contents of Adu's pocket had been taken out long ago and placed on the coffee table. I saw many of the things I gave to Adu, most of which were toys I bought casually, such as a bird-shaped mud whistle or a red velvet flower. I gave them to Adu. She always took them with her, fearing that I would use them.
My Adu, Adu who was so good to me, it was I who caused her.
When I saw the Mingdi, a thought came to my mind, I picked up the Mingdi and walked away quietly.
Almost everyone in the East Palace was concentrated on the side of Li Chengyin's bedroom. The garden was deserted and there was no one.
I blasted my dynamite into the air, and then sat there quietly waiting.
After a while, there seemed to be a light breeze, and Gu Jian silently fell in front of me.
He seemed to be taken aback when he saw me, and asked me: "Who bullied you?"
I know that I must look ugly. I cried for too long that day, my eyes were swollen, and I didn't sleep for days and nights, my face was definitely not better.
I told him the matter very briefly. Gu Jian was silent for a moment and asked me: "Do you want me to kill the queen?"
I shook my head.
The queen has killed too many people, and she should no longer live in this world. But the emperor will judge her, even if he doesn't kill her, he will depose her and lock her in the cold palace. For a person like the Queen, this is enough, and it makes her feel more sad than killing her.
I begged him: "Could you think of a way to save A'du, she suffered a serious internal injury and hasn't woke up."
Gu Jian suddenly smiled: "It's really funny. You don't ask me to save your husband, but you ask me to save Adu. Do you dislike your husband or do you like Adu too much?"
"Li Chengyin suffered traumatic injuries. Even the gods were helpless. It was his life if he couldn't survive. But Adu went after the assassin because of me. She suffered internal injuries. I know you have How to do it."
Gu Jian had a sullen face: "Yes, I can save her, but why should I save her?"
I suddenly became angry: "You once said that if I encounter any danger, I can find you, but you refuse to help me!"
Gu Jian said: "Yes, but I didn't promise you to help you save others."
"Now Adu has a life worry, Adu's life is my life. She can die for me. Now she is seriously injured, that is, I am seriously injured. If you refuse to save her... "I pulled out the wrong golden knife and put it across my neck, "I will die in front of you!"
Gu Jian stretched out **** and lightly flicked the wrong golden knife. I couldn't hold it, and the golden wrong knife fell to the ground with a "clang".
I rushed to pick up the knife, and he swept the knife away with a flick of his long sleeve.
I was furious and slapped me over, before he touched the corner of his clothes, he had reached out his hand to clasp my wrist, my eyes were hot, and said: "If you don't save it, you can't save it. Go away. I will never see you again!"
Gu Jian looked at me for a moment, and finally sighed, and said, "Don't be angry. I will save her."
I deported all the people in Adu's house with an excuse, and then beckoned outside the window. Gu Jian silently leaped in from the window and carefully checked Adu's injuries. He said to me: "The people who shot are really cruel, and even the meridians are almost broken."
My heart was chilled, and he said, "But there is still a way to save." He glanced at me, "But if I save her, how are you going to repay me?"
I was anxious, and said: "When is the time, do you still say this. You are going to save Adu, no matter how much money, I will give it to you."
He contemptuously said: "What do I want money to do? You also underestimate me."
I asked: "Then what do you want?"
He smiled: "Unless...unless you kiss me."
I almost fainted out of breath, why do men like to chew so much?
Li Chengyin is like this, even this world master Gu Jian is like this?
I gritted my teeth, walked forward and took him by the shoulders, stood on tiptoe and gnawed him hard.
Unexpectedly, he pushed me abruptly and suddenly asked me: "Who taught you?"
I am inexplicable: "What?"
"In the past you would only kiss my face. Who taught you?" His face changed, "Li Chengyin?"
I was afraid that he would not save Adu, so I didn't dare to argue with him.
His face is even more ugly: "Did you let Li Chengyin kiss you?"
Li Chengyin is my husband, shouldn't I let him kiss me? I was actually quite afraid of Gu Jian, afraid that he would go down and kill Li Chengyin in a rage. Because he was tight all over, he seemed to go mad at any time, and the look on his face was extremely ugly, his eyes fixed on me.
I finally couldn’t help, and said loudly: "You said it yourself. I waited for you for three days and three nights, but you didn’t go. Now don’t say I don’t remember anything, even if I remember, It’s already impossible for us to be together. I’m already married to someone else. If you are willing to save Adu, save her. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you, but if you want me to betray my husband, that’s It’s absolutely impossible. Our women in Xiliang, although not like the women in the Central Plains who pay attention to the Sanzhen and Jiulie, but when I married Li Chengyin, he is my husband. No matter how we were, now I and you are both Selflessness at all."
Gu Jian took a step back when he heard this. I just felt that his eyes were full of anger, and there was something more indescribable...sorrow? But I have already given up my mind. I’ve long wanted to tell Gu Jian these words. Li Chengyin treats me well or not. For Xiliang, I marry him, and he pushes me away at the most dangerous time. I really shouldn’t betray. he.
I said: "Let's go, I won't ask you to save Adu again."
He suddenly smiled: "Xiao Feng...it turns out this is retribution."
He stretched out his hand, helped Adu up, and put his palm against her vest to heal her.
Until it got dark, Gu Jian was still healing Adu. I was sitting at the door, afraid that someone would break in and disturb them. But I haven't slept much in the past few days. I leaned on the porch, and I was going to sleep in a daze. Fortunately, I just dozed for a while, because my head knocked on the porch and I woke up immediately. Gu Jian had walked out, and I asked him, "How is it?"
He said indifferently: "I can't die."
I walked in to see Adu lying there, his face seemed a lot better, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
