"Looks like someone is trying to break into this prison?"

Cai Wei listened carefully to the sound of killing coming from outside for a while, and said lightly.

"Then it depends on whether they have the ability to attack it?" Another voice sounded, and there was a natural flattery in the tone. "Besides, even if these thieves sent by Cui Xiang can really attack them, they will definitely not be able to take away the people they want to take away!"

Sun Xuemei raised her hand to half-cover her slightly thick red lips, and said with a smile: "Did you say it?" My good nephew and daughter-in-law? ”

Cai Wei ignored her, stood in the center of the stone room, and carefully looked at the small room. She also wanted to dig a tunnel to lead to this prison, who knew that there was already a secret passage under the cell where people kept her to connect to this dark room. But in a moment, she fell from the prison to the dungeon.

Although staying here doesn't have to worry about being taken away by the gang outside, instead of facing such a woman, Cai Wei feels that she might as well be taken away by Cui Xiang's people.

fell into the hands of Cui Xiang, she was still a useful hostage, and they would not dare to touch her for a while, but in the hands of this woman, she intuitively told her that her situation was very bad at the moment.

Sun Xuemei also looked at this small dungeon, and said proudly: "This palace still has a vision, when I wanted to lock you in, I told the Queen Mother that I would lock you in this cell, and now it really comes in handy." Rest assured, this dungeon is so strong and secretive that they won't find it. ”

She said so, can Cai Wei not believe it, if this dungeon is not safe enough, Sun Xuemei will not come to this prison to accompany her in person.

"It's a pity," Sun Xuemei deliberately fanned her nose, "This dungeon hasn't been used for too long, it doesn't smell good, and it's also very damp." But ......, you won't be here for long, and I'm not afraid that living here will hurt you, but I will make my good nephew feel distressed? ”

Cai Wei's heart tightened, and she looked at Sun Xuemei and said, "What does the concubine mean, I'm afraid that the time I can live in this world is running out?" ”

Sun Xuemei giggled, stroked her palms and praised: "No wonder the one who can confuse my Fei brother is really a ghost spirit, can you guess it?" ”

Cai Wei saw that she was smiling happily, but she couldn't laugh at all, and when she spoke again, her voice was astringent.

"Since I am dying soon, I still hope that the concubine can tell me clearly, but the queen mother wants to put me to death? If it is the mercy of the Queen Mother, I will never complain, I just want to know why I died, and I will be a ghost on Huangquan Road. ”

Sun Xuemei said in a good mood: "Anyway, there is still time, and this palace doesn't mind bothering to talk to you a few more words." Actually, you guessed correctly, my Queen Mother really wanted to kill you in her heart, but not now! ”

"You are a fragrant bait that can attract Qin Fei, if you lose your fragrant bait first, how can you catch the big fish of Brother Fei? You say yes, right? ”

"Could it be that the Queen Mother wants my Royal Highness to rush here from the battlefield now? Now is the critical time when the war is critical, and Nanzhili and Zhejiang Province can be recovered immediately! ”

"You don't know yet, do you? In the area south of the Yangtze River, Fei Di has taken all the Tartars back, and the secret agent sent by the Queen Mother said that he had written a letter to welcome the Queen Mother and the first emperor's Zigong back to Jinling to accompany the capital. ”

Can Cai Wei, the military intelligence in Jiangnan, not know? As soon as there was any movement on Qin Fei's side, she knew more timely and accurately than the spies sent by Empress Dowager Sun and Cui Xiang. Qin Fei hid everything from those spies, but he didn't say anything about her.

So she knew the news of Qin Fei's successful recovery of the entire territory of Jiangnan ten days ago, and three days ago she knew that he had changed his disguise, dispatched good people, and came to Dali.

Thinking that the man she loved was galloping on the road, and every moment that time passed, the distance between her and him became closer, and she couldn't help but show a touch of joy on her face, but what she said was: "Jiangnan has been completely recovered?" That's great! In this case, why don't the Queen Mother drive back to Jinling first, isn't the mausoleum of the first emperor built in Jinling? Just enough to let the first emperor enter the earth for peace. ”

Sun Xuemei glanced at her and sneered twice, "Hehe! Do you want to be beautiful? If you really want to go to Jinling, I'm afraid that this one who is in prison will have to be replaced by our Sun family. When the time comes, it will not be so easy for the Queen Mother to take on Brother Fei, the county king who has a heavy army and has made great achievements. ”

"It turns out that the Queen Mother wants to lead Her Royal Highness to Dali, because she is afraid that he will be in a hurry to clean up the heroes? Now that the Tartars have not been destroyed and the foreign enemies have not been eliminated, it is the time to employ people, but the Queen Mother wants to destroy the Great Wall? ”

Sun Xuemei shook her head and smiled, "My good nephew and daughter-in-law, you are wrong, my aunt wants to kill him, but it is not because of his high merits, even if he loses the battle at this time, the Queen Mother will also lure him back and kill him." ”

Empress Dowager Sun even wanted to kill Qin Fei, that-

"It turns out that King Yingchuan fainted and fell seriously ill before, was it really you who poisoned him?"

"There's no way, since the Queen Mother ordered it, I, the junior, naturally have to be obedient and help her old man realize her long-cherished wish."

"But King Yingchuan must be very well guarded, how did you poison him?" Cai Wei wondered.

Sun Xuemei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "There is still a little bit of this secret, what's more, don't you underestimate me, thinking that this palace is a vase with no beauty?" I sue you, Zhou Caiwei, in terms of scheming and means, this palace will not lose to you in everything, otherwise Feidi and the first emperor, they will not all bow down under my pomegranate skirt, and they have always had a soft spot for me. ”

"The first emperor naturally has a soft spot for the noble concubine, but my Royal Highness is afraid that it may not be." Cai Wei kindly reminded Sun Xuemei, "In the heart of His Royal Highness, there is only one person who can make him have a soft spot and be unswerving, except for me, the wife who has knotted hair, and there is no one else!" ”

"You?" Sun Xuemei was so angry with her that her eyebrows immediately rose up, and she was about to have a seizure, when she suddenly released her clenched fist and sneered: "Hmph! Since he treats you so affectionately, what about you, do you have the same soft spot for him? ”

Cai Wei didn't think about it, so she said: "That's nature, our husband and wife are heart-to-heart, and their love is stronger than gold!" ”

Sun Xuemei raised her hand and slapped her slap twice, "What a heart-to-heart and love is stronger than Jin?" No wonder as soon as my nephew heard that something had happened to you and that he had been imprisoned for poisoning the new emperor, he could no longer sit still, and hurried to Yunnan. And he didn't come alone, huh? He brought half of his men and horses to kill you, for fear that he would not be able to save you. ”

Everyone has said this, what else does Cai Wei not understand. "It turns out that the Queen Mother made such a show in Wan'an Temple, in order to let His Royal Highness King Yingchuan and His Royal Highness my brothers kill each other?"

Sun Xuemei nodded, "How about it, the Queen Mother has a brilliant idea, right?" ”

"It's not clever at all, it's just stupid, the competition between the snipe and the clam can make the fisherman profitable, but the two of them are brothers and cannibalism, what can the Empress Dowager Sun get? At present, only these two county kings can inherit the throne? ”

Is this Empress Dowager Sun in the water? If she wants to kill Qin Min, she can still push it with common sense, but she even wants to kill Qin Fei, which completely cuts off her own back road. Could it be that the true identity of this old woman is not their Empress Dowager of Yan Qin, but a spy sent by the Tartars, after the collapse of the Yan Qin Empire, and finally give it such a fatal blow, so that the bloodline of her husband Emperor Guangzong will be cut off from now on, and there will be no successor, and half of Yan Qin's country will be handed over?

"It is precisely because there are only two heirs that they must die. Because this throne can only be sat on by the descendants of the first emperor, and no one else has this qualification! ”

Cai Wei looked at the imperial concubine with a somewhat hideous face, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "I heard a few days ago that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was sick, and after all these days, I don't know if he has been cured?" ”

Sun Xuemei suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. "Hahahaha, his broken body, even the ordinary wind chill and fever can kill him, not to mention that he still has convulsions, he didn't even survive a day, so he went to see his short-lived father."

Cai Wei immediately understood why the ministers had only knelt outside the palace for less than half a day that day, and the Empress Dowager Sun simply agreed to their invitation and agreed to establish King Yingchuan as the emperor. It turned out that she had already planned to kill Qin Min and Qin Fei, the two heirs of Prince Xianyide, at that time.

Her son died, and even her only stupid grandson died, but she was still obsessed, clinging to the throne and refusing to let go, preferring everyone to die together rather than return Yan Qin's imperial throne to Prince Xianyide, although this throne was originally stolen from Prince Xianyide by despicable means.

"Guifei Niangniang," Cai Wei asked the last doubt in her heart, "Since the Queen Mother wants to use me to attract His Royal Highness to kill the brothers of King Yingchuan, then why does she want my life now?" Once I am dead and the news reaches the ears of my Highness, will he willingly come forward and throw himself into the net? ”

"My Royal Highness's temperament, I know best, if I am still alive, he will do something for me, even if you want his life, he will give it to you without blinking, but if I die, the first thing he thinks of is to avenge me, I am afraid that before you wait for their brothers to kill each other, you will be burned to ashes by the anger of my Royal Highness."

"The Queen Mother naturally didn't want you to die so early, she originally wanted you to be comfortable in the prison for a few more days, and when Brother Fei arrived in Yunnan, let him kill Qin Min first, and then use you to get rid of him. But who knew that King Yingchuan was obviously poisoned, and he was able to get up and finish the enthronement ceremony. I quickly persuaded the Queen Mother to hide you in a dungeon, so that you would not be robbed. She is now obedient to me, and sure enough, she sent me to keep an eye on this matter, but I don't know that I have other selfish intentions in my heart. ”

"Dare to ask what the concubine's selfishness is?" The expression on Cai Wei's face was finally no longer so calm.

"People don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, she wants the big guy to play all the good to give her son a funeral, this palace can not be accompanied, the glory and wealth of this world, this palace has not been used enough?

"Besides, Brother Fei is also the only man I have ever truly loved in this world, even if he later married me to another woman, but I still have a deep love for him and am unswerving. He is willing to bear the charge of killing the king for the sake of other women, but I can't watch him come to die in vain, so I want to save him! ”

And the way this imperial concubine saved Qin Fei was not to send him a message or something, but to force his princess to a dead end.

"Since he is here for you, as long as you die, he will never be coerced by the Queen Mother to risk his life again. You can pick one of these three ways to die! ”

Cai Wei looked at the three things in front of her: white silk, a dagger, and a small vermilion porcelain vase.

"Dare to ask Niangniang, after I die, will I be crushed and scattered, so as to quench the hatred and jealousy of me in your heart?"

Sun Xuemei saw that her face finally showed a frightened look, and even her voice had a trace of trembling, and said happily: "Look at what you said, am I such a hateful person?" Besides, if I really do this, will I be able to bring Fei Di's heart back? ”

It turned out that this woman was still daydreaming about reliving Qin Fei's old dreams until now. Seeing that Empress Dowager Sun was already crazy, Qin Fei had a heavy army in his hand, so he wanted to come to his big tree again.

"Don't worry, this palace will definitely reward you with a coffin and keep your body well, so that Brother Fei owes me a favor!" Although she is extremely jealous, she knows more about a man's thoughts, and knows that only in this way can she sell well in front of Qin Fei, and with this first step, she can go one step further with Qin Fei.

Cai Wei looked at the two strong palace maids behind Sun Xuemei, and the servants around her were all driven out at this time, it seems that today's catastrophe cannot be avoided, and Sun Xuemei must kill her.

She picked up the small vermilion porcelain bottle and asked, "Does this poison hurt to eat?" ”

Sun Xuemei smiled, "Why doesn't it hurt, this is the 'Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart' made in the palace, after eating it, it seems that there are 10,000 arrows piercing your heart, do you say it hurts?" However, this medicine also has the advantage that it will not make people bleed and bruise, but the complexion after death will be the same as before. ”

"Well, I'll choose it." God still protected her in the end, and at such a critical juncture, Sun Xuemei really gave her a bottle of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, instead of poisons such as crane top red and peacock gall that might make her show her flaws.

Seeing that she really chose this kind of death that would make her look better after death, Sun Xuemei smiled proudly, turned around and motioned to the palace maid to pour her a glass of wine, completely ignoring Cai Wei's repeated rubbing of the small porcelain bottle, just as she was afraid.

"It is said that ten thousand arrows pierce the heart with this kind of spirit, pear blossom white, the medicinal effect will work faster, my good nephew and daughter-in-law, you can go on the road obediently! Don't worry, your husband, this palace will take good care of him for you, and will never let him think of you again, hahahaha......"

In Sun Xuemei's smug laughter, Cai Wei finally uncorked the bottle, poured all the powder in it into the glass of wine brought to her, shook the glass slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, she raised her head and drank it all.

Seeing Zhou Caiwei covering her heart, slowly falling to the ground, curled up tightly in pain, Sun Xuemei smiled more and more proudly.

But no matter how sharp and piercing her laughter was at this time, it couldn't reach Cai Wei's ears, because she only felt one thing now: pain! My heart hurts!

The pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart? Even if she didn't have to drink this poison, as long as she thought of what Qin Fei had repeatedly told her when she was leaving, her heart was like a knife.

"I promised to send you to Yunnan, but I didn't let you go to death, you wait there obediently, as long as you give me a few more months, before August, I will definitely go to Yunnan to pick you up!"

She had promised her that she would be safe before he arrived. She wished she could do what she said, so as not to make him sad, but now it seems that maybe...... Still can't do it......

Her consciousness began to be in a trance, and she faintly heard the bells ringing one after another, and struck so many bells at once, what was going on?

In the moments before she lost consciousness, the last words she heard were: "Concubine Niangniang, the one who just ascended the throne in the morning is here!" ”
