Chapter 97
"Liquan Palace Phi Xiang Palace, Gu Concubine."
There was a commotion from below.
At this time, Gu Concubine walked to the center of the stage, leaned down and bowed to the emperor and queen delicately: "Back to Your Majesty and the queen, the concubine decided to play a song "Sentimental Poem" to congratulate His Majesty on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang. ”
The emperor bowed his head and agreed: "You have a heart." ”
The woman in front of him, who has been promoted from a beauty to a concubine in just a few months after entering the palace, her scenery seems to have never declined, and she has achieved a real sole favor during the period when Concubine Xi could not accept the favor, and even the biological father of the court has been repeatedly supported by the emperor, and the Gu family can now be described as a hot force in the capital.
The palace maid put on the brown lacquer guqin, Gu Concubine sat down confidently, and at the moment before she stroked the strings with her ten fingers, she glanced at Shen Shuzhao thoughtfully, regardless of what the other party thought about her glance, only with a mysterious smile on the corner of her lips, and then the jade hand plucked the thin strings. Within a moment, Shen Shuzhao, who was still quite puzzled over there, quickly understood what she meant-this was obviously demonstrating to herself, compared to herself, Gu Concubine's piano skills can be said to be far above her thousands of miles, and it can be seen that she has been practicing hard for more than ten years, and she is still the daughter of a great family.
"The general is favored, the soldier has a long life, and so far the Holy Lord can report to the emperor and heaven......" Gu Concubine sang while playing. The timbre is clear and pitiful.
The emperor closed his eyes and enjoyed, and his fingers inadvertently tapped on the case.
It's like a scene of a pair of talented women and male bosom friends.
Shen Shuzhao adjusted her body slightly, her legs were really sore after sitting for a long time, she beat her back, and only thought in her heart: When will this palace banquet end?
In her previous life, Concubine Gu was just a short-lived favorite concubine, so she wasn't very worried about herself. The boredom in front of her made her look up at the sky to pass the time, the moonlight was shining, the evening breeze was gusting, and the sky was so dark that Shen Shuzhao could see it, and she didn't know where Gu Concubine was singing, she only vaguely heard what words were being sung over there, "The new battle of white bones, the old extension of the Yuntai ......" and the like, but what she didn't expect was that halfway through the singing, suddenly, a qiē abruptly stopped, followed by an extremely harsh noise from the stage! The voice was extremely uncomfortable, and it suddenly brought Shen Shuzhao's thoughts back to reality from the sky.
"Ahh Gu Concubine let out a painful scream, and Shen Shuzhao hurriedly looked in her direction, only to see that all the four corners of the piano were overflowing with crimson blood, and it was constantly rushing towards Gu Concubine's fingers! Faced with such a situation, Gu Concubine subconsciously leaned back, and she fell to the ground in a wolf, but before she could withdraw, the blood had already stained her ten jade fingers red, and it looked like the whole hand was being brutally punished.
At this time, the strings became extremely dangerous because they were stained with blood, and Gu Concubine had accidentally broken a few in a hurry, so the broken strings left behind lay calmly on the piano stand, and the blood dripped down their traverses, one drop, two drops, three drops...... These droplets of blood fell into ghostly red lotus on the ground, which was even more thrilling than the strings above that were unsafe and intact being soaked in blood.
Where are the concubines here who see such a scene?
"Blood, blood...... Jean is bleeding! There is a soul in this piano! ”
One man lost his voice and shouted, and the words quickly ignited in the crowd. These delicate women all stood up and retreated two or three feet back, and there was a commotion in the banquet, and everyone was frightened, and some of the timid even hid their heads behind others. The seat was already in chaos, and the concubines and palace maids scattered like frightened birds, for fear that if they fled a little slower, they would be persecuted by the unjust souls, and in the end, only Gu Concubine was left alone on the stage, facing the guqin in a daze, very dilemma.
The green tendons on the back of the emperor's hand burst out, and the queen beside him finally showed a rare shock, "Majesty, Majesty Xià......" Concubine Xi called from the seat in fear, these high-ranking concubines did not dare to move because they were sitting on the noble seat, but when they saw that everyone was running to the side, they couldn't help but feel panicked, so Concubine Xi got up and left their seats, and ran towards the emperor tremblingly. The emperor gently protected them behind him, and at the same time, with a light gesture of his hand, all the Praetorian Guards behind him walked towards the front desk, trying to suppress the uneasy atmosphere.
The queen still maintained the dignity of the mother of a country, she tried to calmly scan the surrounding environment, and suddenly found that among the empty concubines, there was another person sitting firmly in her place, who was still so bold at this moment?
Wait a minute......
Isn't that the Yuan Concubine?
The queen looked at it again, and sure enough, it was her! Why don't you come? She quickly became confused. However, when she observed her carefully, she found that Shen Zhuang Zhao was actually extremely frightened, and his body was constantly trembling slightly. The blood of the piano in the center of the opposite stage has been spilled all over the ground, and the whole piano has been soaked in blood, as if a soul is about to break the piano and harm people, but when the concubines on the throne are snuggled behind the emperor, she refuses to come.
At this time, Shen Zhuangzhao felt overwhelmed by what happened in front of her, and she also wanted to hide behind someone, but no one could stand in front of her, did she want to go to that man's side like them? She clenched the hand in her long curled sleeve, no, she would never go!
She had to pretend to be calm and sit in place, listening to the mixed voices, even if she was scared in her heart, she didn't want to show weakness to the man who framed her with her own hands, so she covered her ears - the world was a little quieter, Gu Concubine on the stage knelt on the ground with an expressionless face, coupled with the rendering of those people, ghosts, gods and monsters at the moment, so the stunned Gu Concubine became extremely terrifying in Shen Zhuangzhao's eyes, she felt more and more afraid, suddenly, her eyes were blocked by a black figure, who is it......
Will it come to her at this time?
Shen Zhuangzhao looked at him blankly, but he didn't expect that person to be the queen's mother!
At this time, the queen frowned and looked at her, like looking at a stubborn and unconscious little girl.
"Queen Mother......" Shen Zhuangzhao finally spoke after thinking for a long time, with a hint of uncontrollable tremor in his voice.
Worst.
She exposed her weakness.
The queen just said coldly: "Stay behind my back." ”
As if under the next command, there was no superfluous emotion in her tone.
It is impossible to tell whether it is good intentions or malicious intentions for a while.
Shen Zhuangzhao didn't answer her, but still chose to stay behind her silently and quietly, for some reason - she always felt that the woman standing in front of her at the moment had an aura that made people feel reliable.
"Commander of the Praetorian Guard, pass a few people to protect the drunken concubine." The queen said to the passing soldiers.
"Yes!" The man in the golden armor replied with a fist clenched.
After taking care of the concubines who were still in place, the queen looked at the seat vigilantly, and like Shen Shuzhao and the others, she was wary of possible accidents.
Gu Concubine on the stage had already reacted at this time, and seeing that it would be irreparable if she didn't do something, she knelt down in a hurry, and kept kowtowing and crying: "Your Majesty...... The concubine really doesn't know what's going on! Please forgive your majesty for the mistakes of the concubine, the concubine is really wronged-"
As she said these words, a dark cloud overheaded her head, and the moon covered with ashes.
Yin wind,
cold tree,
Dark comb oblique shadow, covering the sky and the sun.
The pale face has lost the moisture of the moonlight, so there is no trace of blood.
Gu Concubine's sweat flowed to her forehead, wetting her broken hair.
There was a mess in front of him, and the blood under his hands was also rubbing bright red marks on the ground.
Wolf Bèi's stumbling sideburns, powerless to return to the heavens and earth, pasted on her once delicate and beautiful face, her endless fear of the unknown was projected in her eyes, and the two gloomy faces of the Queen Mother and the Emperor were reflected.
"This, this is ......" Someone in the audience pointed to the top of Gu Concubine's head and said, "The sky is changing!" ”
"The evil thing of the Wei Dynasty is coming, and there are demon girls singing down!" A genius screamed, "The prophecy has come true—"
This remark immediately resonated among the crowd.
"It's a witch, a witch!"
"Ahh
One by one, they pushed, one by one sobbed, and there was no order at all. Just in the midst of the chaos, "Smack! Suddenly, a loud and crisp sound came from above, and in an instant it overwhelmed all the voices in the audience. The concubines couldn't help but look upward—the man on the seat who slapped the table with his hand was looking at everyone coldly, his cold eyes like a pair of hands holding his throat, forcing these people to bow their heads in shame for their shame. And that person is none other than the Queen Mother.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother's loud voice resounded through the hall: "Look at what kind of system you have become?!" Is this what a palace concubine should look like! Today, all those who advocate leaving their seats without authorization -- pass on the oral message of mourning family -- will be punished for half a year! ”
The concubines present all fell silent.
It is extremely terrible for the Queen Mother to really start a fire.
Because Shen Shuzhao was following the Queen Mother, she was not frightened by the strange situation, but was just surprised by what happened to Gu Concubine.
The Gu concubine under the seat has already cried into tears, once this matter is related to the evil star demon girl, even if her family has 110 million heads, it is not enough for the executioner of the Wei Dynasty to cut it off!
The more anxious she was, the more she cried, the more she cried, the more panicked she became, and Gu Concubine was a little out of breath for a while, and she didn't know if it was true or not.
Concubine Xi pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes and cried: "Your Majesty, the demon girl has appeared!" Will there really be evil things coming to the Wei Dynasty? ”
"Concubine Xi, shut up." The queen standing in front of Shen Zhuangzhao immediately scolded back.
Her words made Shen Shuzhao immediately notice them, and the eldest sister sat next to the queen, like a pitiful hidden, and she thought it was incredible when she first saw this scene - how did these two people come together?
"Someone!" At this time, the Queen Mother shouted: "Step forward and take down the demon girl!" ”
A group of Praetorian Guards all cautiously approached the stage with the heart of checkmate, Gu Concubine herself slowly retreated, very resisting the soldiers who came, she retreated to the edge of the stage, and muttered to herself: "Your Majesty save the concubine, the concubine is not guilty, why do you want to arrest the concubine......"
The soldiers were still pressing, Gu Concubine was finally cornered, and at the moment when the soldier was about to touch her body, she suddenly fainted unexpectedly, her feet suddenly stepped into the air, and at this moment, a graceful hoarfrost figure suddenly appeared from the sky in front of her, grabbed Gu Concubine's slender waist in mid-air, and then forcefully pulled her back to safety. Gu Concubine closed her eyes and leaned on the man's shoulder with a bloodless face, and it seemed that she couldn't wake up for a while. The Praetorian Guards present immediately replaced their fierce and vicious arrogance, and turned into a respectful expression, and they all bowed their heads in unison and said, "See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." ”
Wei Yang hugged Gu Concubine tightly and said in a cold voice-"Listen to the order and pass on the imperial doctor." ”
