67. Chapter 67
The fire in the cold palace burned for a day and a night before it was extinguished.
Concubine Rou, who was relegated to the cold palace, was buried in the fire, and there was no corpse left.
The Twelfth Prince, Beixue Yeyang Fu, was rescued by the palace guards who arrived in time, and only suffered a slight injury all over his body.
Three days later, the people sent by Emperor Tianming found a large amount of fire oil in the palace of the most unfavored concubine Xian, and then the palace people of the Inner Servant Bureau revealed that during the day of the fire, Concubine Xian had gone to the Inner Servant Bureau to send a large amount of nightshade to the Roufei Niangniang in the cold palace in the name of the emperor, which is why no one in the cold palace got up to call for help when the accident occurred.
The floral fragrance of nightshade has the effect of making people unconscious, not to mention that it is such a nightshade in a courtyard and a house, and the strong fragrance makes people not wake up when the sky falls.
Emperor Tianming was furious, killed Concubine Xian with the punishment of Ling Chi, and killed all the minions in Concubine Xian's palace with a rod, leaving no one alive, until Concubine Xian's son, Emperor Tianming's second prince, that is, Beixue Ye, who replaced King Beixue Ling stationed at the border pass, got the news and rushed back to the palace privately regardless of the safety of the border pass, it was already too late, and there was only a sea of blood left in the palace of Concubine Xian.
A few days later, rumors in the palace suddenly arose, and many people in private did not believe that Concubine Xian, who usually eats fasting and recites Buddha and does not ask about the world, will murder Concubine Rou Niangniang, who has no grievances with her in the cold palace, plus Emperor Tianming indiscriminately killed Concubine Xian, and killed all the palace people in Concubine Xian's palace, which inevitably makes people feel murderous, so the spearhead of the arson case in the cold palace seems to be pointed at the emperor who is high above.
The Western Liao State, which has been eyeing the Northern Yang Kingdom, got the news of Duanmu Yurou's death, and just got the excuse to send troops, the Western Liao State Lord immediately led 300,000 troops to press the border, but when he arrived at the border city, he happened to encounter the Northern Snow Night Zero was not called by the emperor to return to the palace privately, and the soldiers stationed at the border pass were leaderless for a while, and were defeated and retreated by the Western Liao army, but in just a few days, Jingmo Town, the largest trading town on the border of the Northern Yang Kingdom, was surrendered to the Western Liao State.
The greedy Western Liao State got a big advantage, and he refused to give up easily, and the lord of the Western Liao State handed over the army to Duanmu Zangliu, the prince of the Western Liao State, and continued to march in the direction of Mocheng, the capital of the Northern Yang State.
For a while, the Northern Yang Kingdom was in turmoil, and since then, there has been no apparent peace between the three kingdoms.
And the culprit of all this, I, am in a leisurely daze at the moment, staring at the blue pears above my head in a daze, eager to pick one now to relieve my hunger.
It's a pity that Lan Ya beside him was peeling apples, and at the same time, he was very worried about the tense atmosphere in the Beiyang Palace and the war in the Western Liao Kingdom in recent days, and he had no intention of leaving.
"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been taken to the prison by the angry emperor because he left everyone who was guarding the border and returned to the palace without permission."
Deserve! I'm not the Virgin Mary Sue, so I won't be overflowing with compassion!
What's more, to this day, I clearly remember that it was the Beixue Night Zero that went to the Beixue King's Mansion to read the holy decree of depriving my father of military power, and the feng shui took turns, and today he should also taste the pain of being deprived of everything.
"Your Royal Highness, the Second Prince's Royal Highness is leaving, the border guards will be leaderless, not only the largest trade capital on the border Jingmo Town defeated the Western Liao Kingdom, but now it is even more let the Western Liao Kingdom army drive straight in, now the Western Liao Kingdom army has approached the city near Mocheng, if there is no more effective leader, the Western Liao army will definitely hit Mocheng, and then we will be miserable!"
Let's fight! Let's fight! It is best to fight to Mocheng tomorrow and drag Emperor Tianming down from the high throne, and then they can be sent to the guillotine without me taking revenge, I thought viciously in my heart.
"By the way, I just heard from the sisters who were waiting in the imperial study that His Royal Highness King Xuelan asked to see the emperor outside the door of the imperial study early this morning, I don't know what it was for."
Northern Snow Night? What does he want to do!
Could it be that a thought suddenly appeared in my heart, so shocked that I almost jumped up from the recliner, but fortunately, the super forbearance skills that have been trained for so many years have played a role, even if the waves in my heart are rolling, my face is still calm.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
As soon as Lan Ya mentioned Beixue Yeqi, he saw An Qingjie come in from outside the courtyard with a person, that person in a silver robe and black hair, and his temperament was outstanding, who else could it be if it wasn't Beixue Yeqi?
"Slave maid, see His Royal Highness King Lan!" Lan Ya hurriedly stuffed the peeled apple into my hand and knelt down.
"Flat, go down!" The tone of the night in the north snow is cold and indifferent, not as relaxed and unrestrained as usual.
"Yes, slave and maid retire!"
Lan Ya lowered her head and retreated cautiously, and Beixue Yeqi stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at me coldly with her eyes and not speaking.
For a moment, the courtyard was quiet, except for the cool autumn breeze that occasionally swept the branches and leaves of the pear trees, making a rustling sound.
I stared at the tiny green pear fruit above my head, oblivious to the cold gaze.
An Qingjie looked at me, and then looked at Beixue Yeqi, sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, and stood outside the palace gate.
"You did it!" Beixue Yeyan spoke firmly, and his tone was cold to the bone.
"I did it, what's wrong? Change your mind and go to your father to sue me for my black state? I turned my head to look at him defiantly.
"You killed Concubine Rou?"
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. I didn't think about killing her, but she's just dead, believe it or not! ”
"Little aunt, you are really ruthless enough, more suitable for that position than your father!" The corners of Beixue's mouth twitched, and he looked at me with a smile.
"What a location!"
I slammed into my feet from the chaise longue and rolled the peeled apple to the ground with a long mark in my hand.
"Little aunt, Ye Yan is going to wipe your ass for the trouble you caused, I will rush to the army in the afternoon, command the three armies to resist the invasion of the Western Liao army, I hope that one day I can still see the little aunt, and then I will definitely tell the little aunt everything, so you have to pray in the palace that your lovely and valuable nephew will come back alive to see you!"
Beixue stood in the sun, his back straight, his mouth spitting out mocking words, but the corners of his mouth had a helpless smile.
I wondered if he knew that I had been using him.
Then why did he still go to the battlefield, if he hadn't taken the initiative to ask for war, how could Emperor Tianming not let this three princes, who usually don't like to care about court affairs, go to command the three armies, and once Beixue Yeqi asked for battle, no matter whether he could turn the tide of the war or not, it would be impossible for him to leave the whirlpool of power struggle from now on.
What the hell does he think?
If so, he will be another stumbling block in my path of revenge, and I will not hesitate to move him away or break him when the time comes.
Thinking of this, the faint feeling of apology for using him at the beginning was swept away, my eyes cooled, my hand waved casually, and my voice said indifferently: "Go slowly, don't send it!" ”
"Hehe..."Beixue Yeqi chuckled twice, quickly turned his back to me, but did not step away, and said in a low voice with a little hoarseness, "Looking forward to the ruthless you to send me gently, I am really a big fool of the first son of heaven." Little aunt, even if you don't expect me to come back to see you alive, I still hope that you can live well, and on the day I return to the palace, we will see you under the pear blossom tree! ”
After speaking, Beixue raised his feet and left without looking back, and I watched the back of him leaving, and I felt that the back was indescribably lonely and lonely.
