In the Anshen Temple, Qin Yuan sat on the soft couch sluggishly, her reddish eyes were dull, and the peach blossom gemstone and jade hairpin on her head occasionally flashed a glimmer of light, even if she was served with gorgeous and exquisite makeup, she couldn't hide Qin Yuan's sadness, and all kinds of complex emotions of remorse, regret, and grief swept over like stormy waves.

Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai had been standing silently beside Qin Yuan for an hour, watching Qin Yuan sit there motionless, her worried and uneasy look was scattered on her face, and she didn't know how many words of consolation she said, but Qin Yuan didn't respond a word, although the two were anxious, they were at a loss, so they had to stand beside them and wait, expecting Qin Yuan to say even a word.

Qin Yuan slowly explained at this time, "Don't worry about this concubine, which is more important and which is more important has its own proportion." Aunt Lan opened her mouth at this time, "Master, why don't you move back to Jinhua Palace, you haven't laughed since you lived in this temple." ”

At this time, Zhang Dehai said to Aunt Lan, "The master also wants to go back to Jinhua Palace, so the emperor must agree." Zhang Dehai's words made Aunt Lan silent for a moment.

Qin Yuan lowered her eyelids, stroked the jewel armor on her fingertips, and said, "How did you deal with the matter of Qiao Chang's presence?" Zhang Dehai replied, "Everything was handled by Concubine Yi, the emperor and the queen mother didn't even go, and the servants heard that Qiao Changzai's body was wrapped in a bed cover and thrown into a dry well." Aunt Lan was taken aback when she heard this, "Qiao Changzai is also the daughter of an official eunuch, is it a little inappropriate for Concubine Yi to deal with it like this?" ”

Qin Yuan didn't reply, the corners of her mouth raised slightly with disdain, without showing a trace of pity, Zhang Dehai on the side explained, "Qiao Chang was originally a guilty body, and the emperor has decreed that he will be executed after giving birth, and now although it is a premature birth, it can be regarded as a complete birth, and Concubine Yi is just following the emperor's will." ”

Aunt Lan couldn't bear to say, "But you won't throw it into a dry well, right?" ”

"Qiao Changzai is in a humble status, how can he be qualified to enter the imperial mausoleum? And this kind of thing is not suitable for publicity, the emperor and the queen mother will not say anything if Concubine Yi does this, and the dry well in the palace, I don't know how many people's graves are in the palace. ”

Qin Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Lan's regretful face, knowing what Aunt Lan was thinking, and then asked in a calm tone, "Does Aunt Lan think that this concubine and Yi Guifei are too ruthless?" Aunt Lan hurriedly shook her head, the corners of Qin Yuan's mouth did not rise, and she said tepidly and slowly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the coward, this is an eternal truth, Qiao Chang is here today is completely her own fault, if this concubine does not get rid of her today, she will definitely be eliminated by her in the future, how can such a disaster be left by this concubine?" ”

At the end of the words, the ruthlessness in Qin Yuan's eyes was cold, and Aunt Lan was slightly surprised, she had to admit that since Qin Yuan entered the palace, it had become too much.

At this time, I only heard the report of the eunuch outside the door, "The emperor drove to the ......", I saw Qing Cang's face serious, and he walked into the hall, Qin Yuan got up and saluted if she was unwilling, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

Qing Cang's eyes were open angrily at this moment, the tenderness of the past was long gone, replaced by resentment and jealousy, Qin Yuan looked at Qing Cang's appearance and was not panicked, and stood there calmly.

Qing Cang originally returned to the imperial study and persuaded himself to take care of the overall situation countless times, and then make a decision after Qin Yuan gave birth to an heir, but the more Qing Cang thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking about Qin Yuan's tender appearance in the past, he had the feeling of being deceived and played, he was the king of a country, how could he bear this indignation, and finally came to the Anshen Temple in a rage, and now he saw Qin Yuan looking indifferent, and his anger was even greater.

Seeing that Qing Cang didn't say a word, his palm "snapped" and slapped it on the table, Zhang Dehai and Aunt Lan on the side were suddenly startled, and the silence in the hall could be heard even when the needle fell to the ground, Qin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly inexplicably, thinking if Qiao Chang's presence had been discovered by Qing Cang, Qin Yuan was slightly impatient, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Qing Cang frowned and breathed heavily, and asked angrily, "Shouldn't Concubine Hui have an explanation for me?" Qin Yuan suddenly sneered, "This concubine doesn't know what Lu Dao wants to explain to the emperor." Qing Cang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "This afternoon, on the corridor of the side hall of the West Palace, I heard the words of you and Prince Mu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dehai and Aunt Lan's faces suddenly turned pale with fright, Qin Yuan was also slightly shocked, and on the way back, Qin Yuan regretted that she was too impulsive, although the road was sparsely populated, it was difficult to guarantee that someone had eavesdropped, but she never expected that it would be heard by Qing Cang.

Although Qin Yuan was a little surprised, she didn't feel afraid and panicked, she was already disappointed in Qing Cang, so she didn't care that Qing Cang knew about it, but felt that it was good to know the way, so she would have to hide it in the future, what happened between her and Qing Yu happened before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she had no contact with Qing Yu, what was she afraid of.

Qin Yuan stood in place for a few seconds, and said in a calm tone, "Since the emperor knows the truth, there is nothing to explain about this concubine, as the emperor heard, this concubine did have a relationship with Prince Mu before entering the palace." ”

Qing Cang's anger was churning in his chest at this moment, like a boiler that was about to explode due to excessive pressure, and he instantly got up and slapped Qin Yuan's face.

"Smack!" , The crisp voice was very clear, how could Qin Yuan withstand Qing Cang's slap, and stumbled to the ground, Aunt Lan was frightened for a while, and hurriedly helped Qin Yuan up, and asked with great concern, "Master, you are okay, right?" Zhang Dehai frowned for a while, racking his brains to find a way to break the siege, but in the end there was nothing to be done.

Qin Yuan sat straight on the ground with Aunt Lan's support, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and Qin Yuan raised her head and glared at Qing Cang. At this moment, the green tendons on Qing Cang's forehead bulged out with the rough breath, and he roared sharply, "As a lady for everyone, you can do such an outrageous thing, you can still be so indifferent, do you still want some face?" ”

Qin Yuan said indignantly, "The concubine and Prince Mu are on good terms, but it is just before entering the palace, after entering the palace, the concubine keeps to herself, and has no contact with Prince Mu, I don't know where the concubine did something out of the ordinary!" ”

"You don't have to defend yourself! I can hear it clearly, it is fake that you entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother, and it is true that you deliberately seduced me, and now you have committed the crime of deceiving the king, and you are still so arrogant! ”

Qin Yuan suddenly became angry when she heard this, stood up straight with a bang, looked at Qing Cang angrily, and roared disdainfully, "Seducing you? The emperor is too self-indulgent! Does the emperor think that the concubine did this willingly? If you weren't the emperor, the concubines wouldn't take the initiative to approach you! The concubine and Prince Mu are in love, if it weren't for your existence, why would the concubine suffer so much, now the concubine has committed the crime of bullying the king, the emperor can kill the concubine and have vented his hatred, the concubine is accompanied by a ruthless person, it is really better to die! Qin Yuan vented all her anger on Qing Cang, as if she had shouted out all the grievances in the past few days.

At this time, Qing Cang's angry face was distorted into an angry lion, and his gentle and elegant face ignited a fire that was terrifying from afar, just like an elegant cat suddenly screaming and revealing its sharp teeth, Qing Cang instantly showed a cruel smile, "Good, very good!" You want to die, but I can't fulfill you, I want you to live better than die! Come on, bring me the soldering iron. ”

With an order, Zhou Ruiqing ordered someone to bring up a pot of hot charcoal fire, on which was placed a red-hot soldering iron, and the soldering iron was engraved with a word: "Cang", Qin Yuan did not show a trace of fear, and looked directly at Qing Cang angrily.

Seeing this, Zhang Dehai was so frightened that he suddenly lost color, and immediately knelt down and pleaded loudly, "The emperor is angry, the slave begs the emperor to forgive Hui Guifei once for the sake of Hui Guifei being pregnant." ”

Qing Cang completely ignored it, and ordered, "Come on, capture this slut for me!" At this time, several guards walked in from outside the door, forcibly pressing Qin Yuan, and Aunt Lan on the side exclaimed, "Master! Hurry up and let go of Concubine Hui! The remaining guards all stopped Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai, and for a while the sound of pleading and shouting filled the hall.

Qin Yuan struggled to break free, but finally couldn't get rid of the guards' capture, and then shouted hysterically, "What else will the emperor do except use his power to suppress me!" With your temperament, you deserve not to be popular! ”

After hearing this, Qing Cang was even more angry, decisively picked up the soldering iron and pressed it on Qin Yuan's left chest, and said angrily, "I want you to always remember that you are my woman!" ”

Qin Yuan's clothes were burned to the point in an instant, the soldering iron was imprinted on Qin Yuan's flesh wounds and made a sizzling sound, the pain made Qin Yuan's body lean back, and the slightly bulging abdomen was highlighted, Qin Yuan's face was pale at the moment, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he bit his lip desperately, his eyes were full of perseverance, and he didn't let out a shout, Qing Cang pressed the soldering iron more and more hard when he saw this, the meat on his chest was already hot, Qin Yuan finally couldn't help but roar in pain, his eyes rolled and he fainted, and fell crookedly on the guard.

Zhou Ruiqing on the side was extremely unbearable to watch, Aunt Lan was screaming in pain at the moment, Zhang Dehai finally couldn't bear it, dantian luck slapped on the guard, the guard was slapped like a spring, and fell to the side far away, several guards all stepped forward to stop, Zhang Dehai came back to his senses in an instant, the lotus step was windy, and the brisk movement counterattacked with his bare hands, the action was as light as a glimpse of the light, and all the guards were knocked to the ground with three strokes and five divided by two, Qing Cang looked at it in amazement on the side, he couldn't imagine Zhang Dehai, who had served the Queen Mother for many years, actually has a good kung fu.

Aunt Lan then hurriedly ran to Qin Yuan's side, looked at Qin Yuan's red and swollen wounds, picked up Qin Yuan and cried and shouted, "Master, master, wake up!" Zhang Dehai also came to Qin Yuan's side, "Master, wake up!" ”

Qing Cang then instructed, "Summoning the Imperial Doctor, be sure to leave this scar on Concubine Hui's body!" Zhou Ruiqing received the order, and hurriedly trotted out, Qing Cang glanced at Qin Yuan indifferently, turned around and left with his sleeves brushed away.
