Chapter 408: It's really unlucky
Xue Ying smiled dryly: "It's really unlucky." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A few years later, the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and the doctors were helpless. Concubine Miao, who was locked up in the cold palace, accidentally learned the news and took the initiative to ask for orders to treat the queen mother's illness - Concubine Miao was from southern Xinjiang, and she had learned Gu art and medical skills since she was a child, and the treatment methods she used were very different from those of ordinary doctors. After thinking about it, the emperor agreed to her request and asked her to give it a try. Unexpectedly, under the careful care and treatment of Concubine Miao, the Queen Mother miraculously recovered her health. The queen mother, who walked around the ghost gate, thanked Concubine Miao for saving her life, and begged the emperor to fulfill her and King Sui. The emperor couldn't bear the queen mother's bitter pleading, so he had to create Concubine Miao's fake death and secretly sent her to Tianyi Cliff to reunite with King Sui. ”
"Things have gotten up here, and it seems to be getting better, but it's not. Although Concubine Miao had never seen her child, as a mother, she couldn't bear to put him to death. It is impossible to justify to the emperor, so he can only continue to hide from the queen mother and resolutely not tell the background of the hidden king. ”
Xue Ying couldn't help but interject: "Why?"
"The Queen Mother treats her children equally on the surface, but she has always preferred King Sui. If the Hidden King was the only bloodline of the Sui King, of course she would spare no effort to save his life, but if the Hidden King was only one of the emperor's many children, and the emperor insisted on killing him, she probably would not be so resolute in the front. ”
Concubine Miao was well-intentioned and lied with silence, but unexpectedly planted a big curse for herself. ”
"Anyway, Murong Chen, the unlucky guy, finally survived under the wrestling of many parties, although he was later sent by the emperor to northern Xinjiang to 'bury the soil', but Chuan Shuai was a merciful person, and in the end he did not follow the emperor's advice to kill him......"
"Wait!" Xue Ying had to interrupt him, "Did you miss something?"
"Oh, at that time, the climate in northern Xinjiang was abnormal and the situation was turbulent, and the result of the Heavenly Master's prediction was that dragon qi was needed to suppress it, so the emperor sent the hidden king, who was still the prince of the Nine Emperors at that time, to northern Xinjiang. But at the same time, the emperor sent a secret letter to Chuan Shuai, which was clearly written, killing the hidden king and burying him in northern Xinjiang, with his dragon qi of the reverse dragon, he could keep northern Xinjiang safe for five years. ”
Xue Ying almost vomited: "What the hell is this reason?"
"This is not some ghost reason, this is the best prescription given by Dagu's best peeping master - if something happens in northern Xinjiang, the Northern Plains Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the situation, and the emperor is doing this for the sake of Dagu's country. ”
"Then why do you have to kill people? Doesn't the living Hidden King also possess dragon qi and can keep the north of Xinjiang safe?"
"Dragon energy, like the fate of people, is something that can change at any time. The dragon aura of the Hidden King may suddenly dissipate at some point, of course, it must be used as soon as it is still useful. Anyway, the emperor has always wanted him to die, so it just kills two birds with one stone. ”
"The Queen Mother won't stop it?"
"The Queen Mother didn't know the emperor's true purpose. She thought that sending the Nine Emperor Princes away from Anjing City would be more conducive to his safety, so she did not object to this. Moreover, she knew the relationship between Chuan Shuai and the eldest princess of Yunyang, and thought that Chuan Shuai would treat the hidden king well because of this, but she didn't know that in addition to being the eldest princess of Yunyang, Chuan Shuai also had a deep blood feud with the Murong family...... No, I said I wouldn't talk about it today. ”
Xue Ying was silent. It just so happened that the question she was most curious about today was not this.
"All in all, Chuan Shuai didn't kill the Hidden King, but as far as I know, the Hidden King was not having a good time in northern Xinjiang at that time. He was assigned to the hardest and poorest team, and he almost froze to death and starved to death in the first year, and later he was captured by the people of the Northern Plains, and I heard that he was tortured by the other party with a scorching punishment......" Seeing that Xue Ying's face was as white as paper, he paused, "I'm sorry to scare you, I won't talk about this paragraph." ”
"What is the torture of burning flesh?" Xue Ying asked in a hoarse voice.
"That's it," Cai Hua hesitated, "cut off the flesh from the human body in Ling Chi's technique, roast it slightly on the fire, and then swallow it in front of the prisoners, chew and ridicule it......"
Xue Ying covered her mouth and retched, so frightened that Cai Hua didn't dare to mention it anymore. He laughed dryly: "After all, the Northern Plains are uncivilized and barbaric places, and the punishment used is indeed disgusting. ”
Xue Ying ignored his interruption and asked, "Why are you torturing him so much?"
"Jiangbei and Beiyuan have fought for so many years, but it is a lifelong hatred, and it is not uncommon for Beiyuan to abuse the prisoners of Xinjiangbei. However, I have heard that the reason why he is specifically targeted is because he is trying to encourage and assist certain people in the Northern Plains to defect. ”
Xue Ying thought of Gu Yizhi's face, as well as the descendants of those who were the first to build the volley plank road. Those people were killed by the Murong family, but now they are helping the stove repair the volley plank road. In retrospect, how easy was it to appease the resentment and hatred of those people, and how many sacrifices and hardships did the furnace make in it?
She was sure that he didn't think about using them at first, he just wanted to atone for the Murong family, and as for the loyal followers of those people later, he was completely unintentional.
"No matter what he went through in the middle, he didn't die in northern Xinjiang after all, and to be honest, I think although he has experienced a lot of physical things in northern Xinjiang, those years were the most relaxed time for him. Later, one day the emperor received a secret report that Concubine Miao on Tianyi Cliff was pregnant. ”
"Didn't you say that the emperor couldn't inquire about the news on Tianyi Cliff?" Xue Ying asked.
"The emperor didn't deliberately inquire, this matter was told to him by a peep master. The peeping master found that a vein of dragon qi was being conceived on the Tianyi Cliff, although it was still in a state of fetal breath, but its momentum was no less than that of the emperor who was the true dragon son of heaven, which also meant that once this fetus was born, the country would change hands. And if the emperor wants to get rid of this child, and the two dragon qi with equal veins collide, I am afraid that in the end, they will only end up losing both. The only way is to find a 'dragon slayer' and kill this unborn child. ”
"Dragon Slayer?" Xue Ying muttered.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that the life of the hidden king is 'reverse dragon', which is one of the reasons why the emperor has always been obsessed with him and wants to deal with it quickly: the so-called 'reverse dragon' is 'dragon that slays the dragon'. If the emperor doesn't kill him, he is likely to endanger the safety of the emperor and other princes in turn. ”
"At that time, the hidden king had been sent to northern Xinjiang for several years, although the person did not die, but the momentum of the reverse dragon was already dying, and it was not a big threat to the emperor. It wasn't until he needed to get rid of another dragon that the emperor remembered him again, 'the dragon that slayed the dragon', and it couldn't be more perfect to use him to deal with the unborn child and destroy the dragon that was about to be born. ”
Xue Ying shivered and rubbed the hairs standing up on her arms.
