Chapter 164: Life and Death
Concubine Yang was beaten, which caused an unprecedented uproar in the Qin Palace. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness is like an eyeball to Zixuan's baby, and now Zixuan is not only continued to be detained in the palace but also punished with a cane, and His Royal Highness will definitely not dare to act rashly. But the butcher's knife raised by the prince in Kunming Pool will not be put down, and the entire Qin Wangfu seems to be shrouded in the huge shadow of death.
The first person who couldn't control it was Wei Chi Jingde, who stared at a pair of copper bell eyes as if he wanted to eat people, "Second Highness, let's turn it over!" The emperor actually tortured a weak woman, and the prince wants to take our lives again, can we still live this life? ”
Cheng Yanjin jumped out and said: "My old Cheng is the first to agree, the feast in Kunming Pool is scheduled for the sixth day of the sixth month of June, if we don't act at this time, then we can only wait for the prince to kill us!" ”
Shimin shook his head helplessly, "Of course I know that this is a matter of life and death, but have you ever thought about how we can do it?" Zixuan is now a hostage in the hands of her father, and if she doesn't get it, she will die! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Second Highness, those who achieve great things are not informal, you can't be restrained by a woman and miss the opportunity!" ”
"Huh? I don't like to hear what you say. Jingde said, "You can make it, but you can't sacrifice my niece's life!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered at each other: "Could it be that General Wei Chi has a way to rescue Concubine Yang?" If she can't be rescued all the time, will you let the entire Qin Wangfu bury her? ”
Jingde had no way, he was stunned when he asked.
Shimin frowned and said, "Okay, don't quarrel anymore. If I am asked to sacrifice Zixuan for the throne, then I would rather not have this throne! ”
Du Ruhui took a step forward. "Second Highness, now it is not a matter of the throne, it is the lives of hundreds of people in the Qin Palace. What Brother Wuji said is not unreasonable, and we all know that His Royal Highness's affection for Concubine Yang is not ordinary, but there are only four days left before the sixth day of the sixth month of June to act, and I ask His Royal Highness to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Since you know that Your Royal Highness's affection for Concubine Yang is not ordinary, you should not force Your Royal Highness like this again." Fang Xuanling stood up, "Concubine Yang is not an ordinary woman for Her Royal Highness, and neither is she for us. She has merit to Datang and affection for His Royal Highness. Righteous to us. If it weren't for her thorough analysis and accurate devotion to countermeasures, we might have lost the battle for the throne long ago, and it was a question of whether we would have survived to this day. And Concubine Yang also has the grace of knowing us. Fang said something big today. Today, more than half of the talents in the Qin Palace's mansion were recruited by Fang for His Royal Highness. However, Fang was recommended by Concubine Yang to His Royal Highness. Rank: Imagine if there was no Concubine Yang, would you have today's wealth? How can we abandon her for the sake of today's selfishness? ”
Qin Qiong stood up excitedly. Said: "I, Qin Qiong, promise to be a loyal and righteous person, and I am very moved to hear Mr. Fang's words today. Mr. Fang is right, Concubine Yang can't be regarded as an ordinary woman for us, she has been on the battlefield with us, and helped us plan to fight back against the prince, she is a person who lives and dies with us, we can't give up lightly. Since there are still four days left, it is best for us to find a way to rescue her from the palace. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you for understanding me!" The people of the world were moved to tears.
Fang Xuanling said: "I'm afraid the only one who can help now is Wan Guifei......
The next day was June 2, the ninth year of Wude. Early in the morning, Wei Jue and Yin Ruyi entered the palace to find Wan Guifei again, and did not come back until late at night. Everyone in the Qin Palace's Mansion was anxiously waiting for news in the Zichen Palace, and when they saw them returning, Shimin asked eagerly, "How is it?" Is there a way for Wan Guifei? ”
Wei Jue shook his head, "The emperor took Concubine Yang to ask His Royal Highness what His Royal Highness wanted today, but Concubine Yang refused to say anything, and the emperor punished her with twenty rods." ”
"What? Ten rods yesterday, twenty rods today? This old man may not be able to stand it, isn't his niece going to be beaten to death by the emperor! Jingde gritted his teeth and gurgled.
Shimin felt that every word they said was like a knife in his heart, and his Zixuan was suffering inhuman torture for him, but he couldn't save her.
Shimin asked Yin Ruyi in frustration: "Wan Guifei really has no way at all?" ”
Yin Ruyi said with tears: "The emperor locked Concubine Yang in the Chengxiang Palace, and no one was allowed to see her." At night, the emperor rested at Concubine Yin De, and Concubine Wan Guifei ventured to Chengxiang Palace, but she only looked at her, and no one could bring it out. ”
"That'...... How is Zixuan now? "The people wanted to know about her, but they were afraid to know about her.
Yin Ruyi said: "Listening to Concubine Wan, Concubine Yang is very seriously injured......
Shimin waved his hand and motioned her to stop talking, and at this moment, Shimin's heart was like a knife, and he felt that it was difficult to even breathe.
Seeing that Shimin seemed to have lost his soul, Wei Jue stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve and said, "Second Highness, you can't be so depressed. Concubine Yang was so seriously injured that she didn't despair, and she also asked Concubine Wan to bring you a message. ”
"Zixuan, what did she say?" Shimin looked at Wei Jue's eyes full of anxiety and eagerness, what did Zixuan want to tell him at this time?
Wei Qi said: "Concubine Yang said: Please don't think of her, Your Royal Highness, just do what you need to do, it's time to send Aunt Wei back and let his son give her a good day." ”
Shimin listened to the words brought to him by Zixuan, and stood still, unable to say a word, his heart was clenched into a ball, and his heart was shocked and painful. Zixuan, are you dying?
The others were confused, what did Concubine Yang mean by this? Who is Aunt Wei? What does this have to do with the current situation?
Fang Xuanling cautiously asked Shimin: "Second Highness, what does Concubine Yang mean by this?" ”
Shimin took a deep breath, "She asked me to do it." ”
"How? Who is this Aunt Wei? Du Ruhui asked.
Shimin said: "Aunt Wei is a beggar who Zixuan rescued when he first arrived in Chang'an, and now she lives in the mansion. But when the prince returned to Beijing from Liu Heimin, she recognized her son Chang He in the prince's army. ”
Qin Qiong suddenly realized, "No wonder His Royal Highness asked me to invite Chang He to come to King Qin's Mansion at that time, it turned out that Concubine Yang inadvertently saved his mother." ”
"Yes, Zixuan's kindness paved the way for me to finally lead to the throne." Shimin said and unconsciously shed tears.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Chang He Mingli is the prince's person, but in fact, he wants to repay his kindness to His Royal Highness, he is currently the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, and Concubine Yang has even chosen the place for us to act." ”
Shimin didn't care to wipe the tears from his face, "But she told me not to think of her, how could I do it?" (To be continued......)
