Chapter 121

After Qin Jingnan left, the atmosphere in the house also became a lot more solemn, Mo Junting was rarely at home, more time was busy in the barracks, Yun Geng couldn't see anyone all day, the whole Yunnan was busy, the soldiers were ready to go, although no one told Mo Shu'an, but from the grain and grass and other conditions, it can also be inferred that some soldiers have left, they are not a large army, but divided into small teams, Mo Shu'an did not ask anything, and rarely went out of the house, most of the time at home to accompany and comfort the family.

Every day, fresh vegetables, meat, fruits, etc. are brought in, and there is nothing they need to go out.

Qingbao lost his spirit, snuggled up to Mo Shu'an's side all day long, and became more and more attached to Mo Shu'an.

Mo Shu'an felt that Qingbao was afraid that it was because of Qin Jingnan's removal that he was extremely uneasy, so he couldn't do without her, Mo Shu'an was embroidering sachets, there were many mosquitoes in Yunnan, Qiao Ye specially matched the sachets with medicinal herbs and spices, and put them on his body to prevent mosquitoes, but he was also more diligent, and the ones on Qingbao's body were all made by Mo Shu'an.

Qingbao was lying on Mo Shu'an's lap, holding a cloth tiger in his arms, and he was complaining with a small mouth, although the little girl was young, she also had a love for beauty, even animals only like how beautiful the color is, and the peacocks in the yard were particularly liked by Qingbao, before Qin Jingnan left, Qingbao had to go to play with the peacock every day and draw on the peacock, but now she couldn't lift her spirit, "Father hasn't come back yet, Qingbao doesn't like him anymore." ”

Mo Shu'an's sachet for Qingbao was not embroidered with too complicated patterns, just a simple rabbit, and said with a smile, "Do you really not like it?" ”

Qingbao said in a coquettish voice, "Mother bullies. ”

Mo Shu'an responded, and suddenly exclaimed, Qingbao was startled and quickly got up and looked at Mo Shu'an, Mo Shu'an panicked just now, the embroidery needle pierced his finger, the finger was bleeding, Xia Yu also saw it, put down the small basket in his hand and went to get the ointment, Mo Shu'an looked at the blood on his finger a little blankly, it was very deep......

"Mother." Qingbao's eyes were red, and he carefully held Mo Shu'an's hand, "Why is my mother bleeding?" ”

Qingbao's voice woke up Mo Shu'an, Mo Shu'an put his finger in his mouth and agreed, so as not to scare Qingbao with blood, after Xia Yu came, Mo Shu'an handed his finger over, Xia Yu picked the ointment with a silver skewer and gave Mo Shu'an medicine, the wound left by the needle was not big, and the blood did not flow, but Mo Shu'an felt very flustered.

"It's fine." Mo Shu'an lowered her eyes slightly and said comfortingly, "Qingbao, don't be afraid. ”

Qingbao was in tears, and gently blew and said, "Blow, blow and fly away." ”

Mo Shu'an responded, "Can Qingbao help my mother send this sachet to my grandmother?" ”

Qingbao nodded obediently, "Okay." ”

Mo Shu'an glanced at Xia Yu, Xia Yu took out the sachet that had just been put away for dinner at night, Qingbao took it and sniffed it, wrinkled his little nose and said, "It doesn't smell good." ”

"Yes." Mo Shu'an rubbed Qingbao's face with his hand without medicine, "Let Xia Yu take you there." ”

"Qingbao knows the way." Qingbao jumped off the soft couch.

Mo Shu'an said, "Okay, then Qingbao will lead the way." ”

Qingbao nodded, and after Xia Yu saluted, he left with Qingbao.

When the door closed, Mo Shu'an covered the position of her heart, and her brows furrowed, "Husband, ......"

Even if there are a few robbers and a few subordinates, although the British emperor is dead, he still has a lot of manpower, some of these people have taken advantage of the chaos to leave the capital, and some have lurked, whether it is for loyalty or side thoughts, these people have quietly contacted.

The Eighth Prince is not a person who likes to wronged himself, although he only led people to be stationed in the royal palace outside Beijing, he ate extremely rich every time, on the way to the army, although he ate well, but it was still much worse than when he was in the palace, but the Eighth Prince was not a brainless person, at that time he naturally would not ask for more, and even deliberately said that he would share the joys and sorrows with all the soldiers, and the same as the soldiers' food, such an attitude naturally won the loyalty of many soldiers, but what does the Eighth Prince eat every day, It's not for the low-level soldiers to know.

After arriving at the royal palace, the eighth prince resumed the extravagant style of the palace, and was particularly particular, even if it was a cabbage, it needed to use three or four chickens as an ingredient, and the eighth prince only ate a few bites. In this way, the things sent to the courtyard every day are not a small number, and the remnants of the British imperialist forces are mixed in with these food deliverers.

I don't know if the British Emperor is blessed by God, or the Eighth Emperor has long been arrogant, and he really let these people get in, but the good luck of these people ends here, some of them have already taken refuge in the Eighth Emperor, and the Eight Emperors have staged a play of inviting the monarch into the urn in order to wipe out the remnants of the British Emperor's forces.

The assassins were bound and knelt in front of the Eighth Prince, who sneered, "If you are willing to confess to the rest of the party, I can spare your life." ”

The leader of the assassins, covered in wounds, spat in the direction of the Eighth Prince, "If you want to kill, you can kill it." ”

The bloody saliva naturally couldn't spit out on the body of the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince's face sank, pushed away the guards beside him, directly took the knife of one of the guards, and walked towards the leader of the assassins. The bloody knife was placed on the shoulder of the other man, and the Eighth Prince asked, "Say it or not." ”

The man gritted his teeth and remained silent, the Eighth Prince showed no mercy and directly cut off the man's arm, and the man fell to the ground with a scream, but the Eighth Prince did not kill him, but plunged the knife into his other shoulder, "Do any of you want to say?" ”

At this moment, suddenly one of the assassins knocked away the guards, and another person rushed towards the Eighth Emperor, the weapon on his body had already been taken away, but he did not think that there was a small knife hidden in his mouth, and he bit his teeth and threw himself towards the Eighth Emperor.

Because the Eighth Prince was carrying this person on his back, he didn't react for a while, and at the time of the crisis, a maid ring stood in front of the Eighth Prince desperately, and the guard's knife also slashed at the assassin.

The assassin died in front of Yahuan, less than half an arm's length, the assassin was about to hurt Yahuan, and the blood flowing from the assassin's mouth speculated that the knife was poisonous, and I don't know where they found the strange poison, if there was no wound bleeding, the poison would not have the slightest effect, if there was a wound, even if it was only a shallow one, it would be fatal.

The girl was also frightened and cried, and threw herself into the arms of the eighth prince in a gaffe, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

The Eighth Prince didn't dislike this girl ring at this time, but he didn't say much at this time, just patted this girl ring, and then said in a cold voice, "All these people give me a thousand cuts!" ”

Although the girl was still crying, she didn't make a sound, but went to the side to stand up by herself, the eighth prince took a deep breath, and when he looked at this girl, his face softened a lot and said, "You are a good one, stay by my side and serve in the future." ”

Yahuan hurriedly thanked her, "As long as Your Highness is fine." ”

The Eighth Prince suddenly found that this girl ring was quite beautiful, because she had just cried, her eyes were a little red and extraordinarily moist, her lips were very light, delicate and lovely, and the most important thing was that this girl was extremely loyal to herself, thinking about it like this, the Eighth Prince's eyes were even softer, and said, "Are you hurt?" Call the Imperial Doctor to come and show you. ”

Yahuan shook her head and said, "No, it's fine." Slightly bowing his head, his infinitely shy appearance is lovely.

The eighth prince looked at Yahuan's shy appearance, smiled and hugged the person into his arms and said, "If it's okay, I need to be seen by the doctor, in case it hurts, I will be distressed." ”

Na Yahuan did not resist, and left in accordance with the strength of the Eighth Prince. Listening to the screams of the people behind her, this girl seemed to be trembling with fright, like a frightened deer, and the eighth prince comforted softly, "Don't be afraid." ”

"With His Highness here, the slave and maid are not afraid." Yahuan lowered her eyes slightly and replied meekly.

In a private house in Beijing, Qin Jingnan frowned, his biggest advantage now is to hide in the shadows, if he is given another three years, he doesn't need to do this, but the British emperor died too suddenly, and he was not prepared enough to come in a hurry, and the odds of winning against the eighth prince are very low, if he really lets the eighth prince enter the palace, I am afraid that it will be too late.

Now the eighth prince has secretly arranged people to organize the palace, and the two fires in a row have made many palaces no longer able to live in people, and at the beginning, there were also palace maids and eunuchs who stole the things in the palace and escaped, but they were discovered by the guards, and those people were naturally killed, but many things were no longer counted.

"Enter the palace." Qin Jingnan's eyes narrowed and said, "After this assassination, I think that Qin Zuo will definitely strengthen the surrounding defenses, we are short of manpower, it is better to ambush in the palace first." ”

After the eighth prince enters the palace, it will take time to ascend the throne, but when he enters the palace, he should relax a lot if he wants to come to the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs are all around him, which is easier than being surrounded by a group of guards.

The most important thing is that Qin Jingnan still has connections in the palace, Wu Sheng has been in the palace for decades, and he is serving Emperor Yan, even if he disappears for a few years, there are still his people in the palace, and Qin Jingnan grew up in the palace, there is no better ambush place than the palace, but it is also an adventure in the palace, they only have one chance, if they can't kill the eighth prince quickly, they will be surrounded, and it will be difficult to break through at that time.

It's dangerous, but there's no choice.

Yunnan is not stable now, if Qin Zuo ascended the throne, he really went to attack Yunnan regardless of a qiē, I am afraid that those who were suppressed in Yunnan should also have other thoughts, if they should cooperate with the outside, they will be in danger.

Slowly exhaling a breath, after making a decision, Qin Jingnan no longer hesitated and began to arrange the matter of sneaking into the palace.

The hundred officials knelt down three times, and the people were driven all the way from outside the city to kneel down at the gate of the imperial city, crying and begging the eighth prince to succeed to the throne, so that the eight princes were reluctant to leave the courtyard for the people of the world and entered the capital with soldiers.

The moment he really stepped into the palace gate, the eighth prince only felt comfortable, and if it wasn't for the image of the scruples, the eighth prince couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh.

The eunuchs and palace maids all knelt on the ground, their heads on the ground, and they didn't dare to look at the Eighth Prince at all.

The Eighth Prince ignored the strategist's construction, sat directly on the throne, and looked at the sparsely kneeling ministers below, and now the ministers who are qualified to go to the court are less than half of the original, even so, the Eighth Prince also has a kind of comfort in his power, "Zhong Aiqing, please get up." ”

The British Emperor and others were burned to death, although the bones have been cleaned up, but they can't tell who is who, this matter was already known to the Eighth Emperor when he was in the other courtyard, and at this time he said, "The British Emperor killed his father to ascend the throne and implemented tyranny, and he is not worthy of entering the imperial tomb, so he should be frustrated and ashes, but now he really can't tell which one is the British Emperor's, so he simply chooses a blessed place to bury all the bones." ”

If it weren't for the fear that the backlash would be too great, the British Emperor would have directly ordered all the bones to be thrown into mass graves.

After the eighth prince finished speaking, Tai Shiling walked out and knelt on the main hall and said, "Your Highness, the ministers watch the stars at night, and you have to be instructed by heaven to enthrone Your Highness can only be safe and secure for the country, for the sake of the common people in the world, please Your Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible." ”

Everyone present secretly scolded Taishi Ling for being cunning in their hearts, I am afraid that this person will be reused by the Eighth Emperor in the future, but some of the people installed by Qin Jingnan have their own thoughts in their hands.

The eighth prince was really happy in his heart, and after a few humble words, he asked Qin Tianjian Taishi Ling to count the days.

In fact, the Eighth Prince knew in his heart that even if there was no Yahuan that day, the assassin would not be able to hurt him in the slightest, but in the end, he was just moved by Yahuan's mind, and no woman could do this for him, especially this Yahuan is not noisy or noisy, and his well-behaved and sensible appearance every day makes the Eighth Prince extremely comfortable.

After being proud in the court, the Eighth Prince recruited the sister flowers to sleep, ** After that, the Eighth Emperor asked the sisters to carry the sister flowers down, beckoned to let the little girl ring who was guarding the side come over, the girl ring took the hot water, twisted the handkerchief to help the eighth prince wipe off the mess on his body, and the eighth prince was in a very good mood after venting, "You are still sensible, the princess hums." ”

Yahuan smiled, her movements were more gentle, she was naturally sensible, she didn't care because she didn't love it, the princess cared about the eight princes, and she naturally had to admonish the eight princes. But these Eight Princes don't understand, he likes docile women, women who only listen to him, I'm afraid that he has been suppressed by the concubine for a long time, and the Eighth Prince also has a rebellious heart, so he can't listen to any opposition from women, even if it's for his good.

"Your Highness got up and used some soup, and the slave and maid boiled it with their own hands." It didn't take long for Yahuan to bring a bowl of soup, and the Eighth Prince also felt a little hungry, so he put on a dress and got up to let the other palace maids and eunuchs change the bedding, and Yahuan drank three sips by herself before bringing it to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince's eyes flashed and he smiled, "You can boil it with your own hands, where do you still need to test the poison." ”

"Don't waste it." Yahuan said softly.

The Eighth Prince laughed, and then he drank it, the soup was very suitable for his appetite, and after drinking it, he asked for noodles to eat.

Yahuan walked behind the Eighth Prince and gently rubbed the Eighth Prince's shoulder, "Your Highness has worked hard these days. ”

The Eighth Prince spoke, "It's okay. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the girl ring exclaim, and when he turned around, he saw the eunuch who had been lowering his head stabbing towards the eighth prince with a knife in his hand, and before the eunuch got close, a few secret guards flew down from the beam, but before the dark guards took people down, the door was kicked open, and several people wearing guard uniforms rushed in and fought with the dark guards.

There was also the sound of a fight outside, and the Eighth Prince looked at the person who rushed towards him, but was blocked by the secret guards, "Qin Jingnan!" ”

Naturally, it was Qin Jingnan and others who came, but there were few people who could blend into the palace, and some of them had to block the soldiers outside, so there were fewer people in the palace, the secret guards were carefully selected by the Eight Emperors, and Qin Jingnan brought good hands, but the two secret guards could also block one Qin Jingnan's person, and they were at a stalemate for a while, but the more the situation dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for Qin Jingnan.

Outside the imperial city, there was another war, and many people who were comrades-in-arms a moment ago had already drawn their swords at this moment, because Qin Jingnan's men were unexpected, and they actually had the upper hand.

The Eighth Prince also saw the situation, holding a weapon in his hand, hiding behind several secret guards, and the girl leaned on the side of the Eighth Prince, covering her mouth with one hand, as if she was frightened.

The soldiers outside rushed in, Qin Jingnan was injured and killed several secret guards, getting closer and closer to the Eighth Prince, and there were fewer and fewer people following Qin Jingnan, but even if those people died, they had to hold the legs of the secret guard tightly, and the secret guard directly cut off the person's arm, but before he could get out, he was beheaded by another person.

The Eighth Prince sneered, "Qin Jingnan, I didn't expect you to fall into the net!" Can't wait to be with that British idiot. Although it was said rampantly, the Eighth Prince still took a step back, and the secret guard stepped forward to meet Qin Jingnan.

"Your Highness."

Yahuan's crying voice made the eighth prince's heart soften, and he pulled the Yahuan to make her closer to him, and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

"Your Highness, be careful." With her words, the sharp hairpin had already pierced into the side waist of the Eighth Prince, and before Yahuan could react, the hairpin twisted fiercely.

The eighth prince turned around and kicked the girl ring away, covering the wound with both hands, the girl ring held the bloody hairpin in her hand, and there was no usual meekness on her face, but a kind of outright hatred.

These developments were just a moment, and the secret guard guarding the Eighth Emperor was also a mess, Ya looked around at the injuries on his body, and rushed towards the Eighth Emperor with the hairpin again, the Eighth Prince retreated to the side and let go of the hairpin, and the knife stabbed into the belly of the Ya Huan, the opportunity was fleeting, Qin Jingnan turned slightly sideways and let the secret guard's weapon pierce his shoulder, but the short knife in his hand cut through the neck of the Eighth Prince.
