Chapter Eighty-Three: The Day the City Breaks
Gao Yuan hurriedly rushed in when he heard the voice, but he saw Mu Yuanan, who was originally too weak to lie on the bed and couldn't get up, suddenly grabbed Qi Baozhu's wrist with his hand, and the strength was as if he was going to pinch Qi Baozhu's wrist, Qi Baozhu had already lost a lot of weight, and the wrist was even more dry like a branch that had been dried in the sun, and was held in Mu Yuanan's palm, and he shouted in pain, "The emperor spares his life." ”
Seeing this, Gao Yuan didn't dare to act rashly, but just threw himself down in front of the bed full of twists and turns, and gently shouted Mu Yuanan's name, Mu Yuanan was in a coma during this time, and although it was a good thing that he was finally able to wake up, it was really scary to be like this when he woke up.
Mu Yuanan's hair was scattered, like a demon from hell, his face was haggard, but his eyes were extremely focused, his eyes seemed to fall out, and he stared at Qi Baozhu deadly, Qi Baozhu screamed, looking at Gao Yuan like a savior, hoping that Gao Yuan could help and drag the crazy Mu Yuanan away from him.
"Father-in-law Gao, what are you still doing in a daze? The emperor is crazy, he has already watched the twists and turns and watched the madness, do you still want to let him go crazy?" Qi Baozhu twisted his wrist, feeling that his wrist was almost about to be broken, "Hurry up, hurry up and drag him away, he is sick with Father-in-law Gao." ”
Gao Yuan was stunned, and immediately stepped forward, tore Mu Yuanan away, and pressed Mu Yuanan with his old arm, as if to comfort Mu Yuanan when he fell from a tree when he was a child, he coaxed Mu Yuanan not to cry, and comforted Mu Yuanan in a good voice and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor is a mother, it is Concubine Lian, your Majesty, don't toss, look, this clothes are all torn and broken, so you are lying down, come, be good, lie down." ”
Xu is Mu Yuanan is really tired, maybe he really listened to Gao Yuan's words, Gao Yuan persuaded a few words, Mu Yuanan actually let go of his hand slowly, just stared at Qi Baozhu, and muttered: "She wants to kill me, Gao Gonggong, she is not a good person." ”
Qi Baozhu glanced at Gao Yuan, and saw that Gao Yuan's face also changed, and he was busy defending: "Grandpa Gao, the emperor is confused, this big harem, everyone who can go is gone, what am I following the emperor so hard for? If I really want to live, if I really only think about myself, shouldn't I have left a long time ago? Grandpa Gao, don't you listen to the emperor talking nonsense." ”
Gao Yuan didn't pay attention to it so much, just helped up Mu Yuanan, who was trembling slightly, and secretly touched Mu Yuanan's back with his hand, only to find that Mu Yuanan's back was all soaked in cold sweat, he glanced at Qi Baozhu, and just said: "Concubine Lian Niangniang is tired of accompanying the emperor to see the excerpts day and night, it is better to go back and rest for a few days, Ah Xin has been waiting outside for Niangniang to go back." ”
If Qi Baozhu has never "given up" Mu Yuan'an and has always been by Mu Yuanan's side, this Ah Xin has never left Qi Baozhu, Ah Xin has already seen life and death very plainly in her heart, she is the one who died once by Mu Chengyao's side, this time, she has made up her mind to follow Qi Baozhu, but Qi Baozhu knows very well that Ah Xin follows herself, and the reason why she follows Mu Yuanan is different.
Ah Xin followed him because Ah Xin didn't want to leave, and there was no way for him to follow Mu Yuanan.
Qi Baozhu stumbled out of the gate of the Jinluan Palace, Ah Xin has been waiting in the corner, according to the original rules of the palace, this slave can not nest in the corner of the wall casually, even if it is a slave, this weekday must also stand straight and straight, sit straight and straight, so that the master can look comfortable.
Ah Xin stood up suddenly, and helped Qi Baozhu, who was a little unrelenting, to Jiaxuan, on the way, he didn't meet a person, this person, walked away, escaped, and even kept vigil for the emperor at night, Gao Yuan came in person.
In fact, people didn't run so much, and I don't know what kind of methods Xiao Yuzi used later, what kind of rumors were spread in the palace, this person just scattered in a hurry, and he couldn't stop it, not to mention that the Praetorian Guards didn't stop people, the first thing Xiao Yuzi said was the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard, who guarded the first eighteen palace gates in the palace, had long been useless.
Walking and walking, Qi Baozhu seemed to pass by a familiar palace, Qi Baozhu still remembered, this was still the palace where she lived when she was a girl, and now, it was already a desolation, it seemed that no one had ever entered or exited again, Qi Baozhu sighed, all in front of him was the scene when he was a woman, at that time, although he was not treated by the emperor, and even the emperor didn't even know his name, but he was also very happy, Nuoxiang would make a lot of hometown delicious food for himself, if the small kitchen was not done, Nuoxiang would also think of ways to use the simplest ingredients to make the most delicious food。
"Glutinous. Qi Baozhu lowered her head and sighed, but suddenly heard a woman's cough from inside, intermittently, as if her life was not long in coming, Qi Baozhu's eyes lit up, she hadn't been out of the Jinluan Palace for a long time, and she couldn't remember who else was left in this palace, turned her head to look at Ah Xin, Ah Xin knew what Qi Baozhu meant, and replied softly: "It's Tang Baolin, the one who befriended the fifth princess before." ”
"Oh, Tang Baolin," Qi Baozhu nodded, and then wondered, "Didn't you rise to the top with you before?" at least he was also a talented person, why did he become Baolin again?"
Ah Xin shook his head: "The emperor was angry before, and inexplicably demoted all the concubines left in the palace, this one, isn't it back to Baolin, that time the emperor was purely upset, in fact, he talked casually, and he didn't even give an edict, but he was playing with his temper, so that no one in the palace was allowed to call these concubines their original rank." Ah Xin broke off and added, "Of course, the only one who has not been demoted is Niangniang, Xu is the emperor doesn't want Niangniang to worry, so he ......." ”
"Hehe, so, I should still be grateful to Dade?" Qi Baozhu shook his head, in this world, I am afraid that she is the only one who knows why Mu Yuanan must keep herself by her side, Mu Yuanan is a pervert, a pervert beyond the imagination of ordinary people, she can't describe the things that Mu Yuanan did to herself in the Jinluan Palace, she is actually a tool used by Mu Yuanan to vent her beastly desires.
He doesn't care about his feelings at all, let alone his miscarriage, she is indeed ready to do something vicious today, she has quietly hidden a handful of golden hairpins, ready to stab Mu Yuan'an directly into Mu Yuanan's throat today, she can no longer stand Mu Yuanan's abuse of herself, she doesn't want to continue to be silent.
She forbears it before because she wants power, and she wants to sell some hues and flesh in exchange for more power, but now Mu Yuan'an, can she still give her power? It's long gone, she's really stupid, these days, she has made a mistake and lost her life.
She didn't want to struggle anymore, Qi Baozhu was lying on the bed of Jiahexuan, Ah Xin was burning firewood outside and preparing to cook a bowl of millet porridge for Qi Baozhu, Qi Baozhu hadn't eaten peacefully for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound outside, as if the heavens were angry, Qi Baozhu woke up from the bed, and stretched out his hand to find Ah Xin, Ah Xin knew that his master had been suspicious and restless recently, and he didn't even have time to extinguish the coals, so he hurriedly ran in, hugged Qi Baozhu and said: "Master don't be afraid, maybe it's like a while ago, Mu Xiangbai's army used sulfur to blow up the pit at the city gate to repair the city moat?"
Qi Baozhu shook his head: "It's not like, it's not like it." ”
Immediately afterwards, several cannon shots rang out one after another, which was several times louder than the sound of Mu Xiangbai asking people to use sulfur to configure explosives to repair the moat before, which shook the entire Jiahexuan and buzzed, Qi Baozhu subconsciously looked at the Jinglan Palace, which had been abandoned for a long time opposite Jiahexuan, Jinglan Palace was originally lush with flowers and plants, and after Mu Chenghuang left, no one took care of it, and soon it grew crazy.
The entire palace, I'm afraid that the best one is this Jinglan Palace, the whole palace seems to grow in the jungle, lush.
"Is it Prince Su's army coming in, the army in Lingnan does not have such artillery fire, then Prince Su's army, I heard that an extremely powerful gunpowder has recently been developed, which can directly blow through the city wall, certainly, it must be Prince Su's army to attack in. ”
Qi Baozhu's eyes first flashed a hint of surprise, after all, the person next to Prince Su is Mu Chenghuang, and he and Mu Chenghuang finally have some cooperative relationship, but soon, the light of this hope was immediately extinguished, and the sword was ruthless, not to mention, this is not as simple as you were wronged in the palace before and I will help you say something, this is a war, a seizure of power between men, and a struggle for ruling power.
Qi Baozhu shook his head: "That's it, anyway, I already knew that I would die, and whoever comes is a way to die, my Bai Aya is ready." ”
Ah Xin shook her head, and asked again with a crying voice: "The slave maid just doesn't understand, there were so many opportunities before, Niangniang could have escaped, but why, I have to guard the title of such a vain lotus concubine Niangniang, and I am hungry in this palace, if the emperor treats Niangniang well, it will be fine, but the emperor doesn't care about Niangniang at all, why should Niangniang suffer? Just like the four princesses, they all know that they see the wind and rudder, and they know that they will have a good life with Mu Xiangbai, why can't Niangniang let go, leave the capital, and leave this cannibalistic palace?"
"Do you think I don't want to go?" Qi Baozhu shook his head, "But if I really go, where can I go? Will I go back to my hometown? What has become of my father, I am afraid that it will be a dead end, people like my father, I am afraid that they will personally tie me up and send me to Mu Xiangbai's military camp to invite merit, but everyone knows that I am not so important to the emperor, if I really become Mu Xiangbai's hostage, I will not live long, but if I go to the end of the world by myself?" In recent years, all my thoughts have been focused on how to seek power in the harem struggle, if I go out, what use can I do with these skills? Besides, maybe it is my own obsession, I have always hoped that I can get ahead, I have always hoped that maybe I accompanied the emperor to survive, I am like the queen of the previous emperor, the mother of the world, the name of the history, it is my own fault, it is my own blindness, I made the wrong bet. ”
As soon as Qi Baozhu finished speaking, there was the sound of a group of people running outside, and Ah Xin hurriedly ran out and asked, "What's wrong, why did you run away?"
Everyone was busy running for their lives, and no one paid attention to Ah Xin's questioning, and then a little eunuch who was more familiar with Ah Xin on weekdays stopped and reminded: "Sister Ah Xin, quickly escape with your master, the imperial city has been breached." ”
