281 Immortal
Soon after the emperor's birthday is the Qianqiu Festival, and the so-called Qianqiu Festival is the empress's birthday. After the gossip of the previous days, Empress Pei did not show the slightest irritability, on the contrary, she held a banquet on the day of the Thousand Autumn Festival according to the custom in the palace and feasted the ministers.
In the main hall of Changchun Palace, the emperor and Empress Pei both sat in the first place, and the prince led a group of princes, important ministers of the court, and the female dependents of officials above the third rank to kowtow to the two of them. The prince was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he looked more handsome and handsome, and the jade tree was in the wind, and he personally presented a wine glass to the queen, and shouted in his mouth: "I wish the queen mother happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”
The ministers of the royal palace immediately chimed in: "Niang Niang Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" ”
Pei showed a smiling expression behind him, which was particularly solemn and gorgeous, and turned his head to the emperor and said, "The concubine should thank Your Majesty for your grace first!" Then he said to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse yourself." ”
Because it is the queen's birthday feast, the palace is full of laughter and laughter, and the singing is beautiful. The emperor ordered courtiers and female dependents below the third rank to make congratulatory gifts outside the noon gate, and the three grades and above all shared the banquet in the palace. From morning to night, all night long, fireworks salute was lit to celebrate the culmination of the event.
In order to celebrate today's Thousand Autumn Festival, the prince specially trained more than 100 dancing horses, and selected 40 beautiful girls to accompany the music, the repertoire is a thousand autumn songs, and the dancing horses follow the music or fight the drum tail, vertical and horizontal rhythms, or spin like flying on the three-layer wooden planks installed, or jump on the bed raised by the strong man. Finally, the dancing horse squatted on the hind legs and toasted Empress Pei with a wine glass, pushing the performance to a climax.
Not only that, but he also specially invited the most popular troupe outside the palace to play a drunken concubine. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the dramatists' amazing performances immediately attracted all the distinguished guests. Everyone heard the drama on the stage singing softly to the tune, but when they saw this concubine swaying three times, she was drunk and hazy, and she was coquettish.
Pei Hou blurted out: "Okay, good!" She then gently patted the handle of the chair a few times in appreciation. When everyone saw Pei's expression, they all had their own thoughts in their hearts. Princess Ali whispered in Li Weiyang's ear and said: "You see, their mother and son are so happy, they can't see the appearance of being affected at all, and we have to work so hard!" ”
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "What kind of character is Empress Pei, how can she let you see her thoughts?" What's more, today's birthday banquet was held for her by the prince himself, doesn't this mean anything? ”
Princess Ali frowned, but she couldn't think of anything after thinking about it, and couldn't help but say, "I still don't understand." ”
Li Weiyang smiled even deeper: "If there is no suspicion between Empress Pei and the prince, why does the prince make such a gesture of filial piety?" This is clearly for everyone to see, is the relationship between mother and son still invincible? ”
She winked slyly at Princess Ali as she spoke, and Ali looked at her in complete shock, lowered her head and thought about it carefully before she had to admit that Li Weiyang was right. There is no need for Empress Pei to show a loving mother in front of everyone, which is very different from her previous image. This mother and son are doing this now, just to let everyone know that the prince is her biological son, and that gossip is just nonsense.
Despite this, there was a lot of discussion about the body that was inadvertently washed out by the rain, and some even cited countless examples to prove that she was the prince's biological mother. came and went, and even if the prince didn't believe it, he had to believe it. It's just that Empress Pei is very deterrent, and no one dares to bring it up in public. Even those who had the audacity to participate in other people's imperial histories at every turn in the past were silent, this is a royal secret! Not to mention whether there is evidence or not, just such rumors are enough to shake the foundation of the prince, which shows the seriousness of the matter. And in this strange calm, King Jing and several other princes were silently observing the development of the situation. They know very well that although this rumor has not played its greatest role now, when the time comes, it will be more lethal than they imagined.
The Emperor suddenly frowned at the bustle, and he pinched his brows tightly, as if he was suffering a great deal of pain. Empress Pei turned her head to look at him. There was a three-point concern on his face, and he said gently: "What's wrong with you, is your body unsafe?" ”
The emperor frowned and remained silent: "It's just an old problem, and it's not in the way." ”
Empress Pei smiled slightly, and said with concern: "Has the imperial doctor been passed on?" ”
The emperor said impatiently, "No. ”
Pei Hou immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine for blaming you, your dragon body is the blessing of Yuexi, and it is the blessing of the people of Limin, how can you not take care of the dragon body?" Unable to speak, Empress Pei called the palace maid beside her and ordered: "Send the imperial doctor." Then he turned his head and was very gentle, just like the two of them: "Your Majesty, let's take a good look, but don't drag out a big problem." ”
No matter how impatient the Emperor was, he could not bear the huge tearing headache. At this time, Wang Zijin also noticed the change in the situation, she carefully distinguished the emperor's expression, and couldn't help but change her expression, but she glanced at King Jing quietly. This scene fell in Li Weiyang's eyes, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly. She felt very strange, when did Wang Zijin intersect with King Jing, or did King Jing change his mind and decide to marry this princess who was very helpful to him? She thought about it and couldn't help but secretly pay attention.
Everyone was enjoying the opera on the stage, and the imperial doctor was also treating the emperor. But the emperor is also an old problem, and the imperial doctor doesn't see anything famous. Empress Pei asked, "How is your Majesty's body?" ”
The imperial doctor lowered his head, and there was some apprehension in his voice: "Wechen is afraid, His Majesty's headache is not a day or two, it is a stubborn disease, but Weichen will do his best, I believe that as long as His Majesty recuperates, he will be cured in less than ten days and half a month." ”
The emperor sneered, but he couldn't hide his anger and said: "For so many years, when have you not said that, useless thing!" As he said this, the imperial doctor didn't dare to raise his head, his heart was nervous, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked very frightened.
Empress Pei pondered for a moment, but shook her head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, your headache is not a day or two, depending on the concubine, let Ying Chu diagnose and treat you." ”
The emperor said with extreme impatience: "He is just a witch doctor, what does he know?" I know my illness in my own heart, and I don't need you to do much. The emperor's voice was not loud, but many people next to him heard it, and their complexions changed very subtly.
Pei Hou smiled faintly, as if she was used to it, obviously not caring.
King Jing took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and walked to Ying Chu's side in the midst of a staggered group of staggering, and Ying Chu smiled: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Jing." ”
King Jing Langlang smiled and said loudly: "I heard that Lord Win is proficient in medical skills, and he has more methods than the imperial doctor in the palace, and it just so happens that I have a terrible toothache these days, and the corners of my mouth have broken out with hot sores. Although I have been taking pearl powder for three days and have applied a lot of borneol, it has always failed to subside, which makes me distressed and abnormal, and the doctors are helpless, I don't know what cure Master Ying has? ”
Everyone looked at King Jing and showed surprised expressions. King Jing and the crown prince have never been in harmony, this Ying Chu is also a henchman by Empress Pei's side, King Jing would ask him for medical treatment, how strange is this scene.
Ying Chu seemed to see through King Jing's intentions, but smiled disapprenously: "If Your Highness wants to cure this disease, of course I have a way." All you need to do is pull out this sick tooth of Your Highness, then grind the tooth into powder, put it on a hot towel with the prescription I prescribed, and apply it carefully and carefully for three days, and Your Highness's disease will be cured without medicine. ”
Listening to what he said, King Jing was slightly surprised and said, "Lord Win, I have never heard of this kind of method, is it really so godly?" ”
The official next to him said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Jing, don't believe it, Lord Win's medical skills are indeed very clever. My son had gout a few days ago and was in bed in pain, and he cured him. Saying this, others also echoed, King Jing's eyes glanced at it, and there were many people in the court who had sought Ying Chu for treatment.
The emperor's eyebrows frowned tightly, and then he heard the crown prince smile and say: "Father, since Lord Ying's medical skills are so skillful, it is better to let Ying Chu take a look at it for you." Speaking of which, his elixir is a good medicine for my father's headache, but I have never seen Lord Ying refine the elixir! ”
Ying Chu did treat His Majesty in the past, but since he left half a year ago, the emperor refused to take the pill he sent, and refused to let him be treated again, most people felt that this was related to the increasingly fierce battle between the emperor and Empress Pei, but the prince made this request in public, and the emperor would not refuse if he still took into account the dignity of the prince.
Hearing the prince say this, Ying Chu couldn't help but glance at him, but there was something strange in his eyes. He knew that the prince was very dissatisfied with himself, and he tried all kinds of ways to make himself ugly and couldn't get down the steps, but the prince was too urgent! actually challenged him at Queen Pei's Qianqiu Festival. What is there to be afraid of alchemy in front of the emperor, when has he ever been afraid of this! Thinking of this, he smiled coldly, stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen is naturally willing, but I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over the faces of King Jing and the crown prince, and finally smiled: "I have a splitting headache, I am upset, I am sleepy all day long, but I can't sleep day and night. Three points heavier than the previous symptoms, can you be sure of winning? ”
Ying Chulang said: "Weichen should do his best. ”
The emperor really couldn't stand the pain and torture of this headache, so he couldn't help but nod, only to see Ying Chu instruct the palace maid to take a pen, cinnabar, and paper, and draw a talisman in front of everyone, and then twisted his fingers, and this talisman actually ignited a sky-high flame in public, which burned to ashes in an instant. Ying Chu quickly used the cup to catch all the spilled ashes, and without knowing how to move, he easily dissolved them into the water. He stopped moving, glanced at everyone with a smile, and actually raised his hand and threw the bowl of runic water into the air just now, and everyone only saw the water droplets drifting down like rain, floating to the place where his chest was full, and suddenly stopped.
He blew lightly, and the countless water droplets instantly rose into the sky, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed when they saw him, and saw him raise his hand and wave, condensing all the water droplets in the air out of thin air, and painting them into a blessing character. He smiled slightly, threw down the pen and took three steps back, raised his head, and shouted in a low voice: "Come!" The droplets flew into his wide cuffs as if they were being manipulated. Then he raised his hand to face everyone, deliberately exposed the cuffs to show people, countless water droplets did not dissolve, but smoke came out of his sleeves, and then it burned, the flames in the sleeves were raging, and white smoke came out, his hands shook, and all the water droplets burning in the sleeves rolled out, burning and condensing at the same time, and finally condensed into a golden pill, and everyone was almost stunned.
Princess Ali couldn't help clapping her hands, and couldn't help laughing: "What a strange person!" ”
Li Weiyang smiled coldly: "Yes, this Ying Chu really has some ways." In her opinion, this qiē is just a deliberate performance in front of everyone, and she vaguely feels that Ying Chu is actually very clear about the emperor's illness, and this so-called elixir is probably also a palliative but not a cure, so the emperor will refuse to take it.
I saw Ying Chu put the pill into the box, blew a breath, and then held it in both hands and sent it to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, after eating this pill, the headache will be completely eliminated." ”
The emperor glanced at it, his lips moved, and said, "Check it." ”
Immediately, a eunuch came over, took out a thin silver needle, pierced the silver needle into the pill, and gently pumped it, still shining, the emperor nodded, and was about to swallow it, but the prince said loudly: "Father, I'm afraid it's better to be cautious in this matter." ”
The emperor glanced at him, and the prince was shocked, but said with a calm face: "It's better to ask someone to test the poison in person, so it's safer." ”
Ying Chu's face changed, and he was secretly angry in his heart, the prince was embarrassed by him in public, what was the reason for this qiē...... In front of everyone, he couldn't ask Empress Pei for help, so he could only bow his head to show humility.
Li Weiyang smiled lightly, the prince had made up his mind to put Ying Chu to death, but what would he do to succeed?
Seeing that the emperor did not object, the prince instructed the eunuch next to him to take out the blade and cut out a small piece of the elixir, and Ying Chu immediately stopped: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, only one pill can be effective!" ”
The prince smiled coldly and said, "What's the matter, if it's really invalid, then you can practice it again!" If you don't take Dan for a long time, who knows if you will feel unwell if you eat it! It's better to bother to win adults! ”
Ying Chu's face became even more ugly, and the prince really pointed out the cut half of the pill to a little eunuch, and said, "You eat it and try it!" ”
Of course, the eunuch did not dare to disobey the prince's will, so he swallowed half of the fragments of the pill in front of everyone. Everyone looked at him, and saw that he was fine at first, but soon his brows gradually wrinkled, and then he held his stomach in his hands, bent down and suddenly shouted: "It hurts, it hurts!" ”
The crown prince stepped forward and said sharply, "What did you say? ”
Before everyone came to their senses, they saw the little eunuch fall to the ground with a clatter, rolling with his hands on his abdomen, his feet twitching constantly, and someone next to him rushed up to help, but he let out a long scream, and then the whole person did not move.
The little eunuch fell to the ground on all fours, but his eyes were still wide open, and black blood kept gushing out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. This qiē happened so suddenly, at first no one reacted, all of them were stunned, even the guards above the main hall were frightened by this sudden change, one by one like puppets, their faces were colorless, and the entire hall only made an undisturbing sound from the window lattices when the cold wind blew.
The first to react was the crown prince, who rushed to the emperor's side to make a protective gesture, shouting: "Don't take Ying Chu yet!" ”
The guards woke up from a dream and responded in unison, "Yes." Then they pounced on Ying Chu together, knocked him to the ground, and held him down. The crown prince pointed at Ying Chu angrily and said, "Ying Chu, you are so bold, you dare to murder your father!" ”
Ying Chu suddenly realized something, and although he was forcibly crushed to the ground, he still didn't forget to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged!" ”
The emperor glanced at the crown prince, but he looked like he was smiling.
Empress Pei watched from the side, her expression slightly cold.
Princess Ali looked at it in shock, turned her head to look at Li Weiyang, her long eyelashes trembling in fright: "This ...... What the hell was going on? ”
Li Weiyang said in a low voice: "It's just a dog eating a dog, don't pay attention to it." She said this, but unexpectedly bumped into Empress Pei's eyes. The cold glow at the bottom of Pei Hou's eyes pierced Li Weiyang's heart, but there was no wave on her face, not even a trace of emotional fluctuations. Li Weiyang sighed lightly, this Queen Pei is really a powerful character, and she can be called the only opponent she has seen in her life. In the past, she could swear that she was not afraid of anyone, but being stared at by such a pair of cold eyes, Li Weiyang felt that she seemed to be too confident for the first time.
The emperor said coldly: "Didn't you hear the prince's order? Tie up Ying Chu! ”
The guards quickly fetched the rope and held down Ying Chu to tie him up. The prince said coldly again: "Ying Chu deliberately killed the king, and everyone got all the stolen goods, and he should be severely punished!" Lord Kyo Yoon! ”
Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen is here." ”
The crown prince gave the order: "Escort this rebellious criminal to your yamen, and be sure to track it down strictly!" ”
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the emperor, the emperor nodded, and he immediately said, "Yes." Then he stood up and ordered the guards: "Carry this prisoner out and keep it under strict guard!" ”
The guards responded in unison, and then grabbed the Ying Chu and carried him out. The crown prince lowered his head and glanced at the corpse of the little eunuch, then turned to the emperor and said, "Father, this eunuch is also loyal. ”
The emperor waved his hand lightly and said, "Forget it, sympathize with him and be loyal, make a substitute for the dead ghost for me, buy a coffin to place it, and reward his family with some silver." ”
"Yes." There is a chief eunuch next to him.
The crown prince said warmly: "Father, according to the criminal law of our country, plotting to kill the Son of Heaven is the first crime of ten rebellions, and no matter who is involved in the trial, it should be severely punished. The sin committed by Ying Chu at this time is already heinous, please make a decision immediately! ”
The emperor glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "What the prince said is reasonable, and the matter of winning Chu will be investigated and dealt with according to the law after the evidence is ascertained." ”
Hearing the emperor say this, an imperceptible smile appeared in the prince's eyes. At this moment, he felt a strange look fall on him. He subconsciously turned his head, but he happened to see Empress Pei's cold face, and the prince was shocked in his heart, and then he lowered his head.
This incident happened at this banquet, and everyone still had the heart to continue the banquet, but because of the queen's presence, no one dared to leave the table first, and the birthday feast of the Thousand Autumn Festival was completed.
When he left the palace, he was frightened on his face. Although Ying Chu is a heinous person, how majestic this person used to be, he was taken down by the prince in an instant, which is really strange. If someone else dies at the hands of the prince, it will be forgotten, but this win Chu is Empress Pei's henchman. Did the prince suddenly do something to him indirectly verified the rumor at the beginning......
The crown prince didn't know that what he had done had made everyone talk in private, and he followed Pei Hou back to the queen's palace, only to hear an angry shout: "Don't kneel down yet!" ”
The prince's heart was shocked, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, I am also raping for you!" Didn't you hear what everyone had to say? They all said that Ying Chu deserved it and died innocently! If you indulge him again, I am afraid that everyone will resent you, are you willing to offend everyone for his sake? ”
Empress Pei looked at the prince with cold eyes: "Are you embarrassed to say?" In today's play, you clearly want to deliberately get rid of Ying Chu, he has been with me for more than ten years, and he has no credit and hard work. Besides, even if he has a perverse personality and does things out of the ordinary that annoys you, can't you punish him once? Why bother! He's my confidant, you're slapping me in public! ”
Hearing Pei Hou Lianzhu say it as if he was running, the prince could only remain silent for the time being, at this time, he must not fight-for-tat, in case he turned his face with Pei Hou, he would lose the barrier, so he tried to be as calm as possible: "Queen Mother, things happened too suddenly, and my son couldn't imagine that this Ying Chu would dare to rebel against His Majesty, it was really bold!" But punishing a slave is not a big deal, why should the queen mother be so distressed? The queen mother loves him so much, not only does he not know the blessing, but he uses your east wind to offend people everywhere, cause trouble, and the methods are extremely vicious, is it not in vain to waste the queen mother's hard work. If you don't punish Ying Chu heavily, I am afraid that the world will spread the word that it will be unfavorable to the queen mother and the Pei family! "The prince has also learned to be obedient, and he blames Ying Chu everywhere on the grounds of safeguarding Empress Pei's interests.
Even if Empress Pei knew, she couldn't help but sneer: "I learned a lot of new words!" It seems that Leng Lian next to you is really a smart woman. ”
The prince was shocked in his heart, yes, what he said today was taught by Leng Lian, and this time the plan was also drawn up by him and Leng Lian, although it was a bit risky, but as long as he got rid of Ying Chu, he felt that it was worth it!
Seeing his appearance, Empress Pei smiled lightly: "It seems that your wings are getting harder and harder, and you are willing to listen to the words of a woman of unknown origin and disobey me!" ”
The prince lowered his head: "Erchen is distressed by the queen mother. Recently, rumors have spread that the queen mother's health is not safe, and the sons are also not eating well and sleeping well, so they naturally can't bear to add more to the queen mother, so this matter has not been reported to you, and the sons are not willing to be a disloyal and unfilial person! ”
Empress Pei stared at the top of his head, countless thoughts turned in his heart, and finally sighed lightly: "I always don't use my brain to do things, do you think you can get rid of Ying Chu in this way?" It's so easy to think! She said this, but she waved her sleeve and said indifferently: "Go down, you will pay for your stupidity!" ”
The prince was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Empress Pei to say such a thing, and then his heart swelled with suspicion, he failed to kill Ying Chu last time, he always felt that Ying Chu had a big life, or maybe his own guards betrayed him, so he ordered someone to remove the guards in the mansion. This time, Ying Chu was sent to the heavenly prison, and when the time came, he would be beheaded in front of everyone, even if Ying Chu had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to return to the sky. He smiled coldly at the thought of this, and bowed his head and retreated.
Empress Pei turned around and looked at her son's back, but she showed a hint of an unfathomable smile, and said lightly: "What a stupid thing, you would believe a woman's words, if the country falls into your hands, sooner or later it will be completely ruined!" She said this, but she closed her eyes softly and stopped talking.
Guo Mansion, Li Weiyang didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door with her front foot, Wang Zijin chased in, she invited the other party to sit down in the hall, and then smiled: "Miss Wang, don't go back to rest so late, but what's the matter?" ”
Wang Zijin hurriedly said: "I know that His Royal Highness King Xu has a lot of methods in Jing Zhaoyin, I hope he can take this opportunity to get rid of Ying Chu!" ”
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows lightly: "There is no rush to get rid of Ying Chu, Miss Wang doesn't need to be too anxious." ”
Wang Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that tomorrow Empress Pei will think of ways to rescue this Ying Chu, so tonight is our best time!" Of course, if you feel unsafe and would rather let go of this opportunity, I have nothing to say. But as long as you believe me, I'll get rid of this guy! ”
Looking at Wang Zijin's determined expression, Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Miss Wang, is this going to avenge Brother Ling?" ”
Wang Zijin nodded, and a trace of coldness flashed in his expression: "This Ying Chu is the culprit who killed my two brothers, I will never spare him!" Although he planted it this time, it is a pity that the prince's methods are not so clever, and it is easy for him to escape, so it is better to start tonight and kill him in the prison! ”
Li Weiyang remained silent: "The prison is an important place in the imperial court, how can you and I enter casually?" ”
Wang Zijin smiled faintly: "I have already said just now that the relationship between His Royal Highness King Xu and Lord Jing Zhaoyin is extraordinary. If it weren't for this, how did Pei Hui and Pei Bi die later, aren't you all doing something from it? ”
The other party will only act if he is clear about the investigation, and Weiyang sighed lightly: "Since this is the case, then I will accompany Miss Wang on a trip tonight, but I can't guarantee you what the consequences are." ”
Wang Zijin was overjoyed in his eyes, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, no matter what the result is, I won't affect you!" ”
In the prison, Ying Chu was closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, and immediately someone shouted: "It's on fire, it's on fire." Ying Chu was taken aback, and then he stood up and immediately looked out. At this time, the prisoners in the prison also began to be restless. The jailer, however, waved the whip in his hand and kept beating the iron fence, and shouted loudly: "Don't sit down yet, sit down all!" He shouted this, but to no avail, more and more prisoners flocked to the door, constantly beating the fence in front of him, and frantically said: "There is a fire, let us out!" Their voices passed through the doors and reached Ying Chu's ears, and there was already a faint smell of burning from the end of his nose.
The whole situation was even more chaotic, and for a moment no one noticed the movement of the cell. Several men in black clothes quietly entered the prison through the back door, and then the specially trained guards of the Wang family also appeared in full armor, and they quietly surrounded the entire prison. The fire inside was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames were gradually approaching the east cell where Ying Chu was, and he was listening intently when the cell door was suddenly kicked open, and several men in black rushed towards him with steel knives. Ying Chu sneered, pushed with both hands, and a force went out of thin air, and the leader was pushed out of the door at a distance of one zhang, and more than a dozen people were swept away by his palm wind like a stack of arhats, and they all fell to the ground on their backs.
The jailer who was secretly observing the development of the situation on the side suddenly said loudly: "Ying Chu, you dare to take advantage of the fire to escape from prison, you are really a rebellion!" As he spoke, he said loudly, "Don't catch him yet!" Those men had already reacted, and did not hesitate to pick up their steel knives and stab them again, they were not only highly skilled, but also well-trained. Ying Chu knew that the other party was going to kill people, so he couldn't help sneering and walked up to them, when the leading one stabbed at him, he actually stretched out a hand and grabbed the other party's throat suddenly, the sword slashed at him but it couldn't leave the slightest scar, the five fingers tightened, the other party's breath was immediately broken, hanging his neck like a dead crane. He casually left the man, but walked towards the others with the breath of death step by step, and in an instant there were already seven or eight people folded in his hands. No matter how high these people's martial arts are, they can't hurt Ying Chu in the slightest, he is simply invulnerable, what can everyone do about him? When he walked towards another person again, that person had never seen such a terrible scene, he trembled all over, retreated step by step, accidentally tripped and fell backwards, the long sword in his hand flew out, and was actually picked up by Ying Chu.
Seeing this, the leader of the killers said angrily: "Whoever dares to retreat from the battle will be beheaded on the spot!" In this way, the remaining killers will have the energy to go forward. The remaining ten or so people were arranged into two groups, one by one rushed forward to kill, the first few were bounced out of Ying Chu's internal strength, and gradually Ying Chu's breath weakened, so he simply used a long sword to attack, killing several people one after another, and the corpses were piled on the ground to block the road, and the dark red blood lay on the ground.
Ying Chu finally walked out of the cell step by step, and at this time, the killer commander sneered and asked people to bring a cow prepared in advance. It still had firewood tied to its tail, and the killer leader stabbed it in the ass, and the cow howled and rushed at Ying Chu like crazy, and the killers let out a cry and followed with long swords. Ying Chu saw the crazy cow running towards him, but he didn't hurry up to him, and he actually shouted loudly, and the long sword stabbed head-on. The sword pierced from under the ox's neck, piercing into the heart, and even penetrated half of the long sword. His force was so terrifying that he pushed the mad bull three or five feet away, trampling several killers to death in his tracks. The ox let out a long cry and finally fell to the ground and died. Everyone didn't expect Ying Chu to have such divine power, and they all showed a look of fear.
The killer commander snorted coldly: "Increase the fire." He then led the rest of the group out of the cell.
When the fire is big, the smoke is also very smoky. Ying Chu was so smoked that he burst into tears and couldn't breathe, he knew that this time someone deliberately let himself die in prison, and the only way to survive was to break out. Thinking of this, he took a full breath and rushed out, killing countless jailers and guards along the way, and forcibly killed a bloody path. There was a bright light in front of him, and he was about to escape, but suddenly he heard a voice that said calmly: "The prisoner is trying to escape from prison, release the arrow quickly!" ”
Brush, brush, and countless sharp arrows shot at Ying Chu from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, he was covered with long arrows, and from the side, he looked at a huge hedgehog, and then he fell to the ground without saying a word.
As expected, Ying Chu died.
Li Weiyang saw this scene from a distance in front of the window of the small building, couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said, "I want to go and confirm." Yuan Lie next to her hurriedly stopped her and said, "Just look here, the front is more dangerous." ”
Li Weiyang frowned and said, "Wang Zijin's strategy really succeeded?" There was a hint of confusion in her expression.
Yuan Lie smiled and said: "This prince still has two brushes, after all, Ying Chu is not invulnerable." As he spoke, his smile deepened: "But this is still due to the success of your previous move to provoke the prince...... Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to plant the other party for the crime of escaping from prison, although she is a bit clever, but the method of killing is not weak, whether the other party escapes or not, it is dead. ”
Li Weiyang looked into the distance with deep eyes, but gradually his smile faded, and there seemed to be some hesitation in his expression.
Seeing her with such a look, Yuan Lie couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's wrong?" ”
At this time, Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Shh, you can take a look." ”
I saw that in the crowd, a eunuch who announced the decree arrived in a hurry, and he said loudly: "By the will of His Majesty, Ying Chu is innocent and affected, and the real murderer has been caught early, and Ying Chu can be released." After he said this, Jing Zhaoyin smiled faintly and said: "My lord, you are late, there was a fire in the prison today for no reason, Lord Win escaped from the prison in order to avoid the fire, who knows that he still unfortunately died......
The eunuch was taken aback, glanced at Ying Chu, who was tied into a sieve, and said, "What's going on?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Wang Zijin with grievances, and Wang Zijin explained softly: "I came to report to Lord Jing Zhaoyin because of the theft in my home, but I didn't expect to hear that the prison suddenly caught fire, because I was afraid that those prisoners would escape and disturb the people, at the request of Lord Jing Zhaoyin, I had to order the guards to come up to help, but unexpectedly, Lord Ying escaped from the prison, and the forbidden army and guards guarding the prison mistakenly thought he was a fugitive and shot him to death. As she spoke, she pointed to Ying Chu on the ground, infinitely regretful: "Your Majesty's will is a step too late after all!" ”
As soon as Wang Zijin's words fell, he heard the man on the ground suddenly laugh and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just right!" Ying Chu, who was supposed to be dead, actually got up from the ground. He patted the dust off his body, and the arrows fell again.
Wang Zijin looked at the other party in horror and took three steps back in fright.
Win Chupi smiled and didn't smile: "I won't die in a big disaster, I must have a blessing in the future, I bother Miss Wang!" As he spoke, he burst out laughing loudly, and the laughter alarmed Siye, and a bird in the plane tree next to him also shook to the ground.
Ying Chu's cold and glistening mask revealed a trace of hideousness under the moonlight, and Wang Zijin looked at him with a look of fear in his eyes.
Ying Chu smiled and walked to the eunuch who announced the decree and said, "Let's go, I still have to enter the palace to thank Your Majesty." So saying, he was gone.
Wang Zijin looked at his back in disbelief, and didn't say a word for a long time, until Li Weiyang came to her briskly, Wang Zijin pointed to the other party's shadow that he had long been invisible and said: "Have you seen it, I have obviously ordered someone to shoot him, how can he live well?" As she spoke, she glanced at the arrow on the ground, and the pulled arrow was faintly bloodstained, obviously really piercing the human body. But looking at Ying Chu's appearance, it didn't seem to be hurt in the slightest at all, and this scene really shocked Wang Zijin too much. She really couldn't understand it, could it be that Ying Chu was immortal? Invulnerable...... She couldn't believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.
Li Weiyang sighed lightly, and his heart was also extremely surprised. She said softly, "I finally understand why so many people want to kill Ying Chu, but he is still safe and sound. Speaking of this, she frowned: "It's just that in this case, we are going to kill him...... It's a little more difficult. ”
Wang Zijin only felt that her teeth were trembling, she shook her head and said: "No, the master said that there is no such thaumaturgy in the world, it is just a deceitful thing on the rivers and lakes!" She couldn't help but turn her head to look at her guards, her expression full of suspicion, and it was clear that she also felt like the prince that there were spies among the guards, and that they were the ones who had done something to the arrows.
Yuan Lie picked up a long arrow that fell to the ground and examined it carefully: "Don't doubt it, this arrow is genuine, and I saw it very well from a distance just now." The arrow did pierce the other party's body, but for some reason, it didn't affect him in the slightest. If it weren't for this big win Chu's fate, he really had magical powers. ”
Li Weiyang said lightly: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, not to mention that this person is proficient in witchcraft, and he may not have a way to save his life!" But this scene just now was so shocking that even she couldn't believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes!
Wang Zijin clenched his hands, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What should we do next?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled: "Everyone in the world has weaknesses, and Ying Chu is the same. Even if he is invulnerable, even if he is immortal, as long as he can find his weaknesses, he will also be sent to hell! ”
Wang Zijin asked, "Then what is his weakness?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "Well, it's not hard to guess." ”
Hearing Weiyang say this, only the smile on Yuan Lie's lips deepened, he looked at the moonlight in the sky, and said with a distant gaze: "Okay, I've been busy all night, I'll send you back." After saying this, he and Li Weiyang turned around and left together, leaving Wang Zijin silent in place for a long time, and finally just sighed. Li Weiyang once persuaded her not to be in a hurry when she came, but now it seems that what the other party said is right. This Ying Chu has gone through countless changes but is still alive and well, maybe he really has any magical powers......
At this time, Ying Chu had already swaggered into the palace, and he smiled and thanked Empress Pei and said, "Thank you Niangniang for your rescue!" ”
Empress Pei smiled slightly: "What's this, it's just to find someone to take the blame for you." ”
Empress Pei's method is very simple, since the silver needle drug test has not been detected, the answer to the qi ē is on the eunuch's body. As long as it can be proved that the eunuch's lips are poisonous, it can naturally prove that Ying Chu is innocent. Speaking of this matter, it is also to blame that the prince's hands and feet are not clean, so that Empress Pei easily found a way, which is enough to prove Ying Chu's innocence. On the other hand...... It is impossible for the Emperor to execute Ying Chu now, because he still needs him, otherwise the headache will only lead him to death earlier.
Because of the audience of Win Chu, the female official deliberately led all the palace maids to retreat. Empress Pei sat on the hall and said lazily: "Come here, beat my back for me." At her command, Ying Chu stepped forward with his eyes lowered. Then he walked lightly behind Empress Pei and gently raised his hands to beat her back. Although he is a man, his hands are neither light nor heavy, unhurried, much better than anyone's kung fu.
Empress Pei's eyes closed slightly, and she sighed softly: "Unless I want you to die, no one in this world can want your life." Her voice was so gentle that it was as beautiful as flowing water.
Ying Chu said respectfully: "Yes, unless Niangniang lets me die, Weichen will never dare to die first." ”
"Flim, are you serious?" Empress Pei stretched, I don't know why the window moved, a cool breeze blew, Empress Pei's throat itched, and she coughed lightly. Ying Chu immediately put a fox fur cloak on Pei Hou's body, and the moment his hands touched Pei Hou's shoulders, Pei Hou's body shook slightly. In the hallucination, his hands were like the hands of someone in his memory, gentle and generous, very powerful.
Ying Chu trembled when he saw Pei, and couldn't help but say with concern: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Empress Pei's eyes seemed to be a little confused: "I'm fine." Then, she deliberately approached Ying Chu.
Ying Chu was keenly aware of something, and subconsciously clinged to the other party's body that exuded a faint fragrance. He sighed in his heart, and gently put his hand on the other party's waist, and Empress Pei leaned against his chest, and the two of them could hear each other's heartbeat.
At this time, a palace maid had already pushed the door in and reported: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”
Pei Hou suddenly flashed out of Ying Chu's arms and said viciously: "Drag her down!" ”
The palace maid's face was frightened, and she fell to the ground with a plop: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!" But it was too late for her to speak, and at once two silent shadows appeared in the darkness and dragged her down.
What the prince saw was this scene, and his eyes fell on Empress Pei and Ying Chu, revealing a shocked look. He didn't expect that after this incident, Ying Chu was still alive! What happened in the prison last night was fueled by the prince, he deliberately sent Ying Chu to the hands of the Wang family, and wanted to use the hands of the Wang family to get rid of Ying Chu, which was just a relationship of mutual use. But he never thought that Ying Chu would be able to return to the palace safely when he was being chased and killed.
Seeing that the prince's face was colorless, Ying Chu smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness, Wechen has already said that you can't get rid of Wechen, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain, and spend more time on government affairs." ”
The prince's heart was pounding, and he repeatedly asked himself what to do, this person was still alive!
A trace of unhappiness flashed across Empress Pei's face: "You didn't do enough stupid things, and now what are you doing in the palace at this hour?" ”
The crown prince forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "The queen mother didn't let me enter the palace, but let this thing that is neither male nor female accompany you, what do you want to do?" Could it be that he is really an indispensable person by your side, more important than my son? ”
Empress Pei was knocked through something that she didn't want anyone to know, and a crack appeared on her always calm face: "I'll let you get out!" ”
Just now, Empress Pei was still like a tame sheep in Ying Chu's arms, but now she has become like a fierce she-wolf. This frightened the prince, who hated himself for being incompetent and unable to win the favor of his mother. But then again, this Ying Chu is just a eunuch, even if he is favored by the side of the queen mother, he will not be able to turn the sky! The prince knelt down with a plop and said with a crying voice: "Erchen is just confused for a while, and today I came to ask the queen mother for sin!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself with a few big ear scrapers, but he didn't dare to feel sorry for his face, and even the corners of his mouth bled out.
Empress Pei was unmoved: "Okay, don't be cowardly." You should really say that the person who is sorry is the one who wins. ”
Ying Chu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just confused for a while." ”
Empress Pei looked at the two of them and slowly exhaled: "You two will shake hands and make peace, if you let me know next time if anyone makes a move that is unfavorable to the other party first, you two will not live!" As she said this, her eyes were already cold.
The prince lowered his head, and he suddenly realized that in Empress Pei's heart, there was no difference between himself and the eunuch next to him. Sure enough, Leng Lian was right, his prince was too much, he was just a puppet in the hands of Empress Pei, he must break free from this situation, he must!
