"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" the queen raised her hand, pointed at the kneeling maid with trembling hands, and said angrily, "You just wait for me to fall asleep, so that you can come and kill me, don't you?"

The queen sat on the edge of the bed in the room, her chest was fierce because of the intensity of her emotions, and her beautiful eyes shone with a sharp light that was impossible to see, although her thick dark hair was unkempt, and her face was not as energetic as usual, but it still could not hide her bright beauty. Her bones are clean, the contours are sharp, the eyebrow bones are three-dimensional, the facial features are three-dimensional, the eyebrows are distinct, and the slightly fierce eyes are flashing with bright looks.

Those who witness her beauty will understand why she has risen all the way from a royal maid, from Jieyu to a virtuous concubine, and even now a queen. Gentle as water, empathetic, or smart and clever, are all more likable plus points on the basis of a person's beauty, but it is clear that the queen does not possess such qualities, these are just disguises for her past to survive, and the only thing she has is beauty, is the beauty of the harem of the glamorous crown, and is favored because of beauty, which is convincing and helpless. This is her only and most important weapon, and no one can stop her killer moves, she is really arrogant, and she is the first in the world.

"Queen Mother, the slave doesn't dare, the Queen Mother is angry!" The dishes and chopsticks smashed to the ground, like the autumn wind rolling up dust, and fell on the ground into a broken map, the maid was so frightened that she kowtowed, and whimpered, "The queen mother doesn't eat or sleep, and the head manager is also afraid that something will happen to the mother, if something really happens to the mother, the queen mother will also be angry." ”

But the queen sneered: "The queen mother cares about my! The old vegetable skin is a piece of skin, and she hates me for being young and beautiful all day long, and she also says that I use witchcraft to cause trouble to the people and defile the harem, what about herself? Just because the queen won't die doesn't mean she won't die.

The maid's frightened voice changed, and said, "Queen Mother, you can't talk nonsense about this! If you say it wrong, you will kill your head......

"Who will kill me, who will dare to kill me? I am the queen, the only queen in the world!" The queen stood up sharply and said sharply, "Isn't it the old woman of the queen mother who took the lead in talking nonsense and accusing me of murdering the emperor? But she didn't ask me anything about the emperor at all, she just wanted to find a reason to abolish me, and it was better to kill me!"

She angrily wiped the dishes and chopsticks and cups on the small table next to her, and they crackled to the ground, as if a long time ago, the singer danced in the golden hall, and when the instruments were regularly beaten, she walked in from outside the hall, and her bright red and gorgeous clothes matched her lips.

Even if she is well dressed and walks over to look at people from afar, even a woman will be seduced, it is the beauty that makes the same sex surrender and not jealous, and the beauty of the opposite sex with desires. She walked over gracefully, with all kinds of grace, snatching the instruments from the musicians' hands and smashing them to the ground, her soft body brushing their faces, and her amorous eyes glancing into their hearts. She walked through the clusters of musical instruments, through the sleeves of the dancing girls, and walked straight towards the emperor in the main hall despite the surprised eyes of the civil and military officials and the face of Empress Meng Tieqing who was sitting next to her.

Zhao Xuzheng looked drowsy, and the unexpected arrival of Liu Qingjing, who was just a virtuous concubine at that time, made him unexpected and mentally shocked, and said: "Ah, my concubine Liu Xian is here, my heart and soul baby...... You all stand down, ladies and gentlemen, and go back first. Zhao Xu waved his hand, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty nodded and bowed back, the musicians stopped playing, and the dancers restrained their smiles, bowed their heads and turned to leave. Everyone knows it.

Only Empress Meng sat beside Zhao Xu, her face pale, her lips crumbling into a straight horizontal line, trying her best to control it so that it did not fall. Her hands were cold and trembling, and in the cold and hot weather, her whole body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, and the Frost Throne seemed to be executing her. She felt cold, she felt angry, but this anger was quickly extinguished by fear, the fear that grew from the depths of her heart, was consuming herself. Her eyes were usually in front of her, staring at Liu Qingjing who was walking towards her, and her vision was blurred, as if a layer of fog had been condensed.

Liu Qingjing had a pure and charming smile on her face, and she walked over step by step, her steps like an elegant cat. She walked up the steps with her head held high, and walked in front of Zhao Xu, like a soft python climbing up, she lowered her voice and said softly: "Your Majesty, why haven't the people here left yet, the concubine is shy......"

"Ah," Zhao Xu seemed to realize the location of Empress Meng next to him at this time, which made him feel irritable. He frowned, struggled hesitantly, and said, "Empress, do you want to avoid it?" ”

Empress Meng took a deep breath in the court, and said without changing her face: "It stands to reason that the performance time has not yet ended, and the emperor must stay until the last moment, until the ministers retreat from the court, and there is no one in the palace, can he be considered to have completed today's task." ”

Liu Qingjing listened, laughed quietly and giggled, her voice was sharp, like a knife, pierced into Queen Meng's heart with sharp bends, pierced into Queen Meng's heart with sharp bends, she didn't look at Queen Meng at all, just tenderly touched Zhao Xu's shoulders and face like water, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard the dog barking, and the concubine is most afraid of dogs!" She finally raised her eyes to look at Queen Meng in this gap. Her eyes were raised, the trend was rising, the momentum was pressing, and the ferociousness in her eyes was spreading, which was a great disdain, which made Queen Meng's heart tremble, and her breathing stagnated for a while.

Zhao Xu stroked Liu Qingjing's hot back, like stroking the strings of a beautiful sounding piano, from top to bottom, gently and slowly twisting. When she stayed on Zhao Xu's body, her upper body was a fleshy bomb, and her lower body was a pair of slender and slender legs, gently rubbing against his lower abdomen and chest, making him unable to resist all her requests, or in fact commands.

So Zhao Xu turned his head and said to Empress Meng: "Empress, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have retired, no matter what, there is no need to carry it out." Queen, go back. ”

Empress Meng raised her head tremblingly, gritted her silver teeth, and said calmly, "Obey." ”

Liu Qingjing smiled, hugged Zhao Xu's body, stroked the dragon chair behind him with her hand, and said in a sad and weak voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is bored, is it okay to let the emperor relieve the loneliness for the concubine?" The concubine didn't see the emperor for a day, she was really sad to death." ”

Zhao Xu closed his eyes and sniffed the woman's fragrance on her body, his fingers picked at her slender waist, like falling clouds, like a fairyland, he sighed and said: "I don't want to see you, I am bothered by boring trivial things every day, there are so many things, no one understands me except you, all are useless and ugly decorations, I also feel very painful......"

At this time, Empress Meng had not completely walked out of the palace, and every word of the conversation behind her pierced through her back, and then through her chest, an invisible knife killed her soul and turned her into a lifeless shell. She felt Liu Qingjing's smile, shining from behind her, it was the fire that had burned the knife, which only made the knife sharper and more painful. She doesn't belong here.

Liu Qingjing didn't think she would fail from the beginning - failure refers to being framed and slandered for design, etc., because of her fierce personality, she will be retributed, every time there is a precursor to being calculated, she will take the lead in solving the disaster, no matter how bad it is, there is the emperor's favor, but she does not feel that she has to replace the queen. She is living very well under the pampering, she doesn't have to worry about it, she can ignore the rules of the palace, she can live as she wants, and she can get all this with just a beautiful face, she can only say that her life is too good.

Later, she learned that the only reliance on stability that she thought was not eternal, even if the true feelings never changed, and the true feelings deteriorated, at least they could attract the emperor, but who knew that the greatest emperor in the world, who was called "long live long live, long live, long live" every day, would suddenly collapse when he was in love with her, and the situation was extremely critical and getting worse, and no matter how good the doctor seemed to be able to save his life.

And she was suspected by the Queen Mother of being the murderer of the emperor, so she was grounded in this cold palace. The first half of the sentence is just an assumption or an excuse, and the second half of the sentence is the purpose of the Queen Mother. It is no wonder that Empress Meng is the queen personally selected by the Queen Mother, and she was deposed because of her, and the Queen Mother is naturally quite dissatisfied with her Empress Liu, not to mention that she and the emperor sing every night, and they are confused, which is quite complaining.

- Retribution. She gritted her teeth and paced around the room, staggering and stumbling in eager steps. She didn't eat anything that the Queen Mother ordered to send. Only fools will eat these things, maybe the queen mother will put a lot of poison in it, it will be colorless and tasteless, poison her to death and then lie that the queen is overly sad. No, no, she can't die. She will live until the moment the emperor wakes up, she is still the emperor's favorite person, and she will welcome the emperor's victorious return with the attitude of a victor, and the emperor will definitely be able to survive, as long as - as long as what? Is it too late now? Will she think of a way? Will anyone listen to her? Oops, no, it's terrible.

She was anxious when she heard someone outside the door: "We want to see the queen, can you let us in?"

The guard at the door looked very embarrassed, and said: "His Royal Highness King Duan, the Queen Mother ordered the queen to be confined here and not to go out. Seriously, we're really greedy for life and afraid of death. If there's anything, tell me, and the little one will go in for you and tell the queen mother. ”

"Tell me?" Zhao Ji chuckled, "If you say the same thing, you can say it differently if you say it with another mouth." If I just want to tell the queen about it, why bother to come all the way to say a few words to her? Let me in, I have something very important to talk to the queen mother, 100,000 urgent, 100,000 urgent. ”

Hearing this, the queen's beautiful eyes wandered, she groaned slightly, pointed at the maid and said coldly: "Don't make a sound, tell me to miss a word, be careful of your skin!" The maid who was kneeling on the ground was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her hands and nodded violently. So the queen approached the door and listened to the conversation between the visitor and the guards who were there.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Who do you think of me? You also know that we can't practice martial arts." With my three-legged cat kung fu, are you still afraid that I won't be able to rob this place? How unconfident are you in yourself, so you are afraid of me, a waste prince who has been in prison? Or do you think that I have already squatted in the prison, which is considered a disgrace to the royal family, so you don't treat me as a human being?" He sighed and said, "Alas! If you enter an unjust prison, you can't turn over! It's really a world that is declining, morality is declining, the tiger falls into Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and no one pays attention ......to the prince who has fallen into trouble."

The guard at the door hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Duanwang, we don't mean that, Your Royal Highness Duanwang, you misunderstood." We're just scared ......."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you afraid of?" He pretended to think about it, pretended to cover his mouth in surprise, and said, "Ah, you are not afraid of Master Su Cansu beside me, he is not here to help me at all, but to 'monitor' me, for fear that I will do something bad, after all, I am a criminal who has been in prison before, and I am suspected of murdering the emperor, so naturally I want to use the most powerful and credible person to watch me, you actually think that he will be in the same boat with me?" There was such a big thing in the emperor's bedroom just now, and Lord Su tried his best to guard the situation over there, and you still have to doubt him. Not to mention anything else, you are guards, and Lord Su Can is the highest guard who leads you, and they are also guards, why should you be afraid of your top boss?"

"This ......" The guard was choked by Zhao Ji's words, and he couldn't answer for a while.

This is exactly what Zhao Ji wanted, Zhao Ji had an innocent expression, a low tone, and said like a wronged child, "Although Lord Su Can is the imperial instrument that protects the emperor, isn't the emperor still under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother? Lord Su Can has always obeyed the orders of the Queen Mother, and this has not always been the same camp as you? Now that the emperor has an accident, the palace is subject to the instructions of the Queen Mother." Now, if you forbid Su Can to enter, it is tantamount to saying that you do not obey Su Can's orders and do not obey the orders of the Queen Mother, so who are you subordinate to?—— are you trying to rebel and fail? If you say this, it seems that you can dispose of you on the spot with imperial equipment, isn't that so, Lord Su?"

Su Can smiled knowingly, and responded in a voice that was neither loud nor small: "That's right, His Royal Highness King Duan." ”

These words frightened the guards and knelt down towards Zhao Ji, and then reacted, using their knees as legs, turned to Su Can, and said: "His Royal Highness Duanwang, Lord Su Can! The small one has no such meaning, the small one has no two hearts, the small one has always been loyal, the little one just wants to save this life, and he doesn't dare to rebel! The small, the small one is just afraid, just afraid of ......."

"What are you afraid of, afraid that I will kill someone?" Su Can squatted down with a smile, looked at the guard, and said, "I can't do it." Do you look at me like I can knock you down?"

The guards raised their heads tremblingly, and saw Su Can's glorious face, which was as heroic as if he had descended from the heavens, but his face was extremely haggard and pale, and his whole body was suspiciously condensed with layers of frost, as if he had picked up a life from the center of the blizzard, and was almost about to freeze to death. This is very different from his impression of the master Su Can with the imperial instrument who has the ability to "make fire" that is different from ordinary people, so he also believed what Su Can said, he has no strength to defeat himself now, and he must have been greatly injured just now.

Although he still felt that something was wrong, under the brainwashing of Zhao Ji and Su Can, the guards temporarily decided to let them in: although he was not convinced, he was persuaded after all, he was young and thin-skinned, and he couldn't selflessly reject everyone with an iron face, so he had to say honestly: "Okay, two adults, wait for me to report to the queen." Actually, it's not that I don't want to let the two of you in, it's that the queen ......."

At this time, the queen's voice was as sharp as a female cat from behind the door: "Hao Sui, I see that when you came to Tong Guan, you had never had such a tough attitude." People I don't want to see, you release them all at once. The person I want to meet, but you are entangled for a long time, embarrassed in every way, what a useless waste!"

The guard named Hao Sui was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his heart was pounding, although he was facing a queen who was grounded and was very likely to be killed, and a prince who had been imprisoned and had not yet received a notice of release, but as an ordinary person, they were still very terrible and difficult to mess with him. He quickly nodded and apologized again and again: "Queen Mother, it's not right to be small, it's ...... Let's invite you two in!"

After that, the guard opened the door and bowed, "His Royal Highness King Duan, Lord Su, please." ”

However, as soon as Zhao Ji stepped in, he heard Su Can laughing behind him, and said to the guard: "I won't go in, His Royal Highness Duan Wang wants to say something, and I don't need to listen to ......."

Then, the door slammed shut. As if isolated from the outside world, the sound of falling snow and human voices disappeared in an instant, leaving only the dead silence and darkness here, Zhao Ji raised his head and couldn't see, and the cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the wall, with a looming hissing scream.

“...... Queen, Queen Mother?" Zhao Ji asked tentatively, "Are you here?"

The sound of water dripping through the cracks in the walls into the wooden floor, the floor rotting and making a crunching groan of pain and the corresponding festering smell. Zhao Ji wanted to say something, but he was dizzy for a while. However, in the boundless darkness, no one saw his frowning brow and distorted expression.

The little beast in the dark does not know whether it is good or bad, and it is rampage. But the leopard as a predator was different, the leopard lay dormant in the dark, staring at its every move with its green eyes flashing, approaching silently, showing its sharp white teeth, and gnawing towards his neck—

Zhao Ji's body was crooked, losing his center of gravity, he retreated again and again, all the way back to the point where there was no way to retreat, and finally the back of his head hit the wall, and with a bang, Zhao Ji suspected that his intelligence had also dissipated with this muffled sound, he settled down, and hurriedly said: "It's me...... Duanwang Zhao Ji...... See you!"
