When Guo Ping saw the content in his heart, he crumpled the letter with hatred, Ling Bing gave the others a look, and the people around him retreated, leaving only her and Guo Ping, she stepped forward and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, what did you say in the letter?" Why are you so angry? ”

Guo Ping didn't speak, shook off Ling Bing and strode towards Xiyun Palace. Ling Bing stood in place, staring at Guo Ping's back and sneering.

Guo Ping came to Xiyun Palace, and Xiao Wanyao was playing with Guo Rui, looking happy. However, as soon as he arrived, he roared at Xiao Wanyao, "Xiao Wanyao, this is a good thing you did. Then he threw the letter and the handkerchief to the ground.

Guo Rui was frightened by the sudden roar and cried, Xiao Wanyao saw the handkerchief and recognized it as licorice, and her face changed. She hurriedly asked Guo Rui to go down and pick up the handkerchief from the ground, "Where did the emperor get this handkerchief?" Who gave this handkerchief to the emperor? ”

Looking at her anxious and excited expression, Guo Ping could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hit Xiao Wanyao, an inexplicable slap made Xiao Wanyao stunned, she covered her face and stared at Guo Ping in horror, "Your Majesty, why do you want to beat your concubine?" ”

Guo Ping pointed to the piece of paper that was still on the ground, "Take a good look at what is written in that letter." ”

Xiao Wanyao picked up the paper on the ground a little dazedly, and her face was as earthy as after reading it. It was Xue Tianao's handwriting, but she could tell that someone had imitated his handwriting, and the words in her heart were extremely ambiguous, expressing her deep longing for Xiao Wanyao. And it is said that this handkerchief was their love affair at the beginning.

"No, it's not like that! Your Majesty, you heard from the concubine that this handkerchief was not given to Xue Tianao by the concubine, but was ...... by the concubine back then."

But Guo Ping couldn't listen to her words anymore, and shook off her hand vigorously, "This time I ran into it, when I didn't meet him, did you still secretly communicate with him?" No wonder you've always been so cold to me. It turns out that you have been in contact all along. ”

"No, the emperor is not what you think." Xiao Wanyao wanted to explain that this handkerchief was licorice, and she had been looking for her for many years. I thought she was dead, but I didn't expect to get news of her now.

However, Guo Ping did not give her a chance to explain at all. Turning around to leave, Xiao Wanyao stepped forward and grabbed Guo Ping, "Your Majesty, this handkerchief is something from a girl who served her concubine back then, and it was given to her by her concubine, not what you think, it has nothing to do with Xue Tianao." The concubine had no contact with him again. ”

"So when Xue Tianao was imprisoned in the Chu State, you didn't see him once? Didn't blame me for what he did? ”

Guo Ping's words made Xiao Wanyao stunned. Guo Ping frowned tightly, "You really saw him, you know that he is not dead, and you should also know about him leaving the Chu State and returning to the Wei State, right?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know what the emperor is talking about. The concubine stayed in this palace and never left, how could she see him. Xiao Wanyao calmed down, she couldn't let Guo Ping grab her handle at this time.

Guo Ping took out the jade pendant from his body, "So, this is your thing?" ”

Xiao Wanyao knew that Guo Ping had shown this jade pendant to Yanran before, and she also guessed that Guo Ping knew something. It's just that he didn't mention it again, so she also kept silent.

"This is indeed a concubine's thing." Xiao Wanyao said coldly.

Guo Ping sneered, "Empress, Empress, you already knew that I had arrested Xue Tianao, but you pretended that nothing had happened. In your heart, you have never forgotten him, have you? ”

Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips and stared at Guo Ping expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, that's all in the past, why bother struggling here." ”

Guo Ping threw the jade pendant to the ground, the jade pendant shattered to the ground, and at the same time, Guo Ping's feelings for Xiao Wanyao were completely shattered at this moment, "That's why I want him to die." It seems that I really believe in you too much, and indulge you too much. Someone ...... coming."

Several guards suddenly came in outside, and Guo Ping ordered, "From today on, without an order from the palace, the queen is not allowed to step out of Xiyun Palace for half a step." After that, he approached Xiao Wanyao and glared at her angrily, "If you dare to disobey my orders, I will never spare you again." The nurse took Rui'er and went to Changle Palace. ”

When Xiao Wanyao heard that Guo Ping was going to take Guo Rui away, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "No, you can't take Rui'er away." ”

But Guo Ping couldn't listen to her half a sentence now, and shook her hand vigorously and threw her to the ground. Cui'er and Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but no matter what they did, they couldn't stop Guo Ping from taking Rui'er away.

Zhu'er and Cui'er didn't know what was going on, so they helped Xiao Wanyao up and asked her to sit down, Zhu'er looked at her with pain on her face, and comforted, "Queen Mother, Rui'er is also the emperor's child after all, the emperor won't hurt him, he just took Rui'er away when he was angry." You don't have to worry too much. ”

Xiao Wanyao burst into tears, tightly furrowed her brows, and gritted her teeth with hatred when she remembered the person who framed her behind her back. Cui'er picked up the jade pendant that had been broken into several pieces on the ground and put it on the table. Xiao Wanyao touched it gently with her hand, in fact, Guo Ping knew many things in his heart.

It's just that I haven't said it all along, and this time it finally broke out. Sooner or later, we have to face it.

Xiao Wanyao calmed down and asked people to find out who handed over this handkerchief and this letter to the emperor. The person who came back replied, "Returning to the queen's mother, it was a messenger who handed the letter to the emperor." After that, the emperor came to Xiyun Palace. ”

"What about the messenger?"

"Already left. The subordinates have sent someone to investigate, but their whereabouts are unknown. ”

Xiao Wanyao's heart sank, and then asked, "Who was with the emperor when this messenger came to deliver the letter?" ”

"Back to the queen mother, the emperor was enjoying flowers in the imperial garden with Ling Chang at that time. After the emperor got the letter, he came to Xiyun Palace. The squire replied.

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, "It's her!" ”

She waved her hand and let the attendant retreat, thinking about it in her stomach, Zhu'er put it in front of Xiao Wanyao with a cup of contemplative tea, and said suspiciously, "We have never had a holiday with that Ling Changzai, it shouldn't be her behind her back?" ”

Xiao Wanyao snorted coldly, "The matter between me and Tianao, unless someone knows me, or someone who has carefully investigated, will know." And they can imitate Tianao's notes and deceive others, but they can't deceive me. In other words, the person behind must know Tianao and have a very close relationship. If Ling Changzai was really involved in this, then as soon as she came, she came for me. ”

Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth and hit the table with a fist, but she still couldn't prevent someone from framing her behind her.

"So what are we going to do? Is this the end of the matter? The emperor must have an explanation, otherwise the queen will be in danger. Zhu'er said with a tight frown.

Of course, Xiao Wanyao knew her situation at the moment, and she would soon be embattled, "There is no other way, but to find out the person behind it, in order to solve the emperor's misunderstanding of me, otherwise this time no matter what he says, he will not be able to say anything." Zhu'er sent someone to keep an eye on Ling Bing, and asked the people outside to find out her identity. ”

"Got it, the slave will do it."

Wei State, inside the Imperial Palace.

Gong Qing knew about Xiao Wanyao's side, and was naturally in a good mood. called Xiao Wanrou and asked, "Your method is very good, Xiao Wanyao was put under house arrest by the Emperor of Chu, which is really gratifying!" It's just that this can't trap Xiao Wanyao, and it can't achieve the purpose that the palace wants. ”

In order to cling to Gong Qing, Xiao Wanrou continued to stay here in fine clothes and food, she was ruthless and said, "Since Xiao Wanyao cares about licorice so much, she can't keep this person anymore." Let her know that the people she cares about are dying somewhere else, and the pain that she can't do anything. ”

Gong Qing's eyes rolled and stared at Xiao Wanrou, this woman is really ruthless, and she treats her family so viciously, but it suits her appetite very much, if Xue Tianao is investigated in the future, she will find a very good scapegoat.

She smiled lightly, "Since you want to deal with Xiao Wanyao so much, I will leave this matter to you." Remember to be clever and don't let others suspect you. ”

Xiao Wanrou agreed to Gong Qing, and when she left, Gong Qing rewarded her with a lot of things, and she couldn't take them away by herself, and Gong Qing also sent two girls to send her over. Xiao Wanrou was naturally very happy, she passed again, when she was the eldest lady.

Live in a house with good words, fine clothes and food. Having accepted so many benefits from Gong Qing, of course she would think about how to kill licorice without being suspected.

Licorice is a girl who left Prime Minister Zuo's house, although she is in the palace, she is a member of Prime Minister Zuo's family after all. On this day, Xiao Wanrou went to the palace to find licorice, and licorice did not have a good impression of her, but because of her current situation, she was also polite to her.

"Miss Xiao, the queen is not in the palace today." Licorice said when she saw Xiao Wanrou.

Xiao Wanrou smiled, "I'm not here to find the queen's mother, I'm here to find you." ”

Licorice paused slightly, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Xiao looking for a slave?" ”

Xiao Wanrou let out a long sigh, with a painful expression on her face, "You also know what our family has become now. Tomorrow is my father's sacrifice day, although my father's grave is not here, but I still want to worship him, and you used to be a girl from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, can you go with me? ”

Licorice did not refuse, asking, "Where to worship?" ”

Xiao Wanrou saw that she was intentional, she was a little happy in her heart, and hurriedly said, "It is not allowed to burn paper in private in this palace, I have already told the queen mother, tomorrow you accompany me to Jingyuan Temple to burn incense." First, you can worship my father, and then you have such a good relationship with Wan Yao, and you will also put incense on behalf of her father. ”

Licorice saw that Xiao Wanrou said so sincerely, so she did not refuse, and promised her to go to Jingyuan Temple with her tomorrow.

The next day, Licorice left the palace early in the morning.

Yong'er asked while serving Gong Qing for dinner, "Prime Minister Zuo died in Jiangnan, it stands to reason that if you worship, you should go to the grave, what is it to go to Jingyuan Temple to burn incense?" ”

Gong Qing smiled and put down her chopsticks, "This time the licorice went out, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

Sure enough, before noon, news came from outside that Xiao Wanrou's carriage had encountered robbers, robbed them of a lot of things, and killed many people, licorice died, and Xiao Wanrou came back injured.

In order to play the whole play, Gong Qing specially sent the imperial doctor to Xiao Wanrou's place to see her injuries. After Xue Tianao learned about this, he was extremely shocked, he found Gong Qing and blamed her for letting Licorice leave the palace.

Chapter 257: The Past

Gong Qing said innocently, "It's not that the concubine wants her to leave, it's licorice who came to the palace and said that today is the sacrifice day of Prime Minister Zuo, and she was a girl from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion at the beginning, and she was good friends with Xiao Wanyao, she wanted to go with a stick of incense for Xiao Wanyao, who would have thought that she would meet robbers on the road." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xue Tianao's expression, seeing the anger and remorse on his face, she added, "Wanrou is seriously injured, maybe she can't even save her life, and the concubine sent a doctor to treat her injuries." ”

She walked up to Xue Tianao's side, "The concubine knows that you are not happy if you don't protect the licorice, but the concubine can't stop this matter!" Could the concubine still keep her here and treat her like a prisoner? ”

Xue Tianao glanced at her, sighed slightly, and turned to leave without saying anything else.

He sat in the imperial study, supporting his forehead with one hand, frowning tightly, and just sat like that. He didn't know how to explain this matter to Xiao Wanyao in the future. He found licorice, but he didn't protect him. He is now the emperor, but he can't do anything.

Fei Mo asked to see him from outside, and he immediately stood up, "Let him in." ”

"How? Did you find her? Seeing Feimo coming in, Xue Tianao hurriedly asked.

Feimo's face was a little ugly, he nodded, and replied, "My subordinates have found the body of the licorice girl." It was indeed the bandits in the mountains who kidnapped her, and her subordinates arrested those bandits and imprisoned them in the prison, and they had already interrogated them, and when they wanted to insult the licorice girl, the licorice girl bit her tongue and committed suicide. ”

Xue Tianao punched the table, startling the chief eunuch on the side. He clenched his hands in annoyance, "Drag those unlucky ones out and behead them immediately, immediately send people to the mountains, find their lair, and kill them all." ”

Fei Mo clenched his fists, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

After Licorice's death, the news quickly spread to the state of Chu. After Ling Bing took out the note from the carrier pigeon and saw the news, he chuckled lightly and said to himself, "It's really thanks to you that our news can be delivered so quickly, and now the queen has been placed under house arrest in Xiyun Palace because of that letter, I don't know what kind of expression she will have after knowing the news!" ”

At this time, Ying'er came in from outside, "Ling Chang brought that person with them, and it was in the side room. ”

Ling Bing's eyes sank, the pigeon in his hand tightened, and then he threw it out with one hand, "Let's go, let's go see who it is." ”

Ling Bing took Ying'er to the side room of Bingyi Pavilion, pushed the door and entered, there was a man imprisoned in the room, covered in chains, naked, already covered in injuries. His head hung heavily down.

Ying'er couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene, she didn't dare to step forward, but Ling Bing didn't think so, she had seen too much of this kind of scene, she took a leather whip next to her and stepped forward, and used the leather whip to provoke the man's chin, "Say, who sent you to investigate me!" Isn't it a queen? ”

The man glared at Ling Bing and snorted coldly without speaking.

Ling Bing laughed, "If you don't say it, I also know, who will come to investigate me except the queen." What I want to know is......" She walked around behind him, reaching out and gently touching the bloody scars on the back of his acquaintance, "Who are you, why do you do things for Xiao Wanyao, how many people like you do things for her." Who is in charge, how is the message delivered, and where are your people? ”

The man suddenly laughed, Ling Bing tilted his head, revealing an innocent expression, "What are you laughing at?" Is there anything strange about my question? ”

He glanced sideways at Ling Bing behind him, "You really aren't an ordinary person, and you seem to know a lot about this." The average person wouldn't ask such a question. ”

Ling Bing raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, the person had already walked in front of him, "Thank you for your compliment, as long as you answer my question obediently, I will let you get out of here alive." Otherwise......"

"You better not bother. You can't ask me anything. If you want to kill, you can kill it. The man sank his gaze and stared at Ling Bing.

Ling Bing's face also sank suddenly, and he pursed his lips vigorously, "Do you know what my biggest flaw is?" It's just impatient, I'll ask again, do you want to say it? This time she almost yelled.

The man just snorted coldly and gave her a roll of the eye.

Ling Bing gritted her teeth, "Xiao Wanyao is really not simple, and the people who work for her are not ordinary people. But in front of me Ling Bing, there is no one who does not speak. Come, continue to torture me. ”

Two guards stepped forward and stuffed the man's mouth with a cloth so that he could not make a sound, and then began to torture him.

When she left, Ying'er was a little worried, "Ling Chang is here, the palace is not allowed to use the death penalty, if the emperor knows, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Ling Bing glanced at Ying'er, who was a little frightened, and chuckled, "Then don't let the emperor know." ”

A small village in the Wei Kingdom, where people live a quiet and peaceful life.

Suddenly, one day, the officers and soldiers who didn't know where they came from surrounded their village, burned and plundered them inside, and took away everything they could take away, and burned everything they couldn't take away.

She watched her parents be killed by those men, when she was only twelve years old, and she was taken away by them. Locked up in a cage with many people of similar age, watching them eat meat and drink outside, talking about how to enjoy these young women at night.

She knew what her fate was and what they were going to do next.

She hated these people so much, all her relatives were killed by them, even children of a few years old. It's just a beast.

They used young boys captured in the village as live targets. Let them go, but shoot them with arrows behind them. That night, she was brought into a tent, surrounded by five or six men, and from their conversations, she knew that they were the army of the state of Chu.

She hated them so much, and wanted to resist, but what could a twelve-year-old girl do.

Just as they were about to strip her naked, suddenly there were bursts of fighting and shouting outside, "Oh no, the Wei army is here." The Wei army raided. ”

The men panicked and searched for their clothes, and she crawled into a dark corner and hid. A few people came in from outside, wielding long swords and killing those who tried to humiliate her. The corpses fell, and she watched with infinite fear in her heart.

When the Wei men turned to leave the tent, a young man suddenly stood at the door, staring back at her in the dark. She ducked into the shadows, but he saw her anyway and turned to walk towards her.

At that moment, she thought she was going to die and never see the world again. However, when she closed her eyes and waited for death to come, she heard a very beautiful voice, "Are you a captured captive?" Come with me, it's all right. They won't hurt you anymore. ”

She opened her eyes in disbelief and saw the most beautiful face she had ever seen in her life. She didn't hesitate to believe him, and she followed him away.

It wasn't until later that she learned that he was the son of the prime minister, only a few years older than herself, and went out with the army. She knows, his name is Xue Tianao. Nice name, very beautiful person.

But instead of leaving her, he let her go, and she left and returned to the burned village, where some of the people who survived came back to find their relatives. She is also looking for her brother.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

She heard her brother's cry and looked back. saw her younger brother running towards her from a distance, but behind him was chasing Chu Jun, waving a long sword and riding a horse to chase him.

"Don't, don't...... Brother, run......"

However, what she saw was that the sword was pierced into the chest of her brother, who was only a few years old, and his body was provoked by the sword, and the man on horseback laughed. There were also some panicked villagers around, crying and fleeing...... The Chu army is back.

"Don't ......"

Han Qianqian shouted and woke up from his dream. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and Ping'er hurriedly put on her clothes and walked in from outside when she heard the voice, "Are you having nightmares again?" Put on your clothes and be careful if you catch a cold. ”

Han Qianqian's eyes widened, looking straight ahead, that scene, as if it could never be erased from his mind. Always waking up from a dream in the middle of the night.

"I'm fine, Ping'er, you go to sleep."

Ping'er hesitated, but seeing Han Qianqian's insistence, she served her to lie down and left.

Shouting Qianqian got up and walked to the window, opened the window, a cool breeze blew, she took a deep breath, at that time she knew that he would not appear again, would not save her again, she thought of death and wanted to die.

The Chu army captured her again and brought her back to the state of Chu, where she became a prisoner and a slave. Perhaps luckier than others, she met Guo Ping. Guo Ping fell in love with her.

But she has never forgotten that it was the army of the State of Chu that killed her family and ruined her life. She wants revenge, this is the only thought she has alive now, and it is the only reason why she promised Guo Ping to come to the palace with him.

Every time after this dream, Han Qianqian's mood would be extremely heavy. She lives like a walking corpse now. Revenge, how to get revenge? What does she want?

She let out a long sigh, feeling a little cold on her body, and was about to go back to bed, when she closed the window when she suddenly heard several muffled noises in the middle of the night. Like a human voice, she was suddenly stunned, and listened carefully to the sound but the news came.

She thought she had misheard, but just as she turned and walked into the room, the voice came again. This time she heard it clearly, and the voice was faint but. But how could there be such a voice in Changchun Palace?

Han Qianqian's brows furrowed, and she went back to the room and put on a casual dress. At the door, she glanced at Ping'er who was outside, and saw that she had fallen asleep, her eyes sank, she turned around and came to the window, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

Soon she came to the place where the voice came from, this was the Bingyi Pavilion where Ling Bing lived, not too far from Han Qianqian's bedroom, but this place was very remote. Seeing the light on in the room, she crept to the window, stabbed the window and looked inside, where she saw two attendants surrounding a man and torturing him.

The sound came from the man's mouth. The man's skin was open, and it seemed that there was only one breath left.

Han Qianqian's eyes narrowed, she didn't know these people. But this is Bing Yi Pavilion, and these people should have something to do with Ling Bing. Why is that Ling Bing tortured here? What the hell is she doing?

Many questions appeared in her mind, but before she could think too much, she heard a voice behind her, "Who's there?" ”

It was a woman's voice, and Han Qianqian knew that this voice was none other than Ling Bing.

She froze for a moment, then turned and walked away in the other direction. Ling Bing stood there, and when he saw the man fleeing, he frowned and chased him out. R1154
