205 Stalemate
Seeing that the ghost was blocked in front of the old emperor's body, he refused to let Lan Junyao take a step forward, Mo Shi and Ling Yi were vigilant against each other's sudden moves, and for a while, the two sides were deadlocked, and neither of them would take a step back.
The moon had slipped into the hollow, and Ye Er rarely slept until he was half awake, rolled up on the branches, squinted at the people in the hall, and shook and fell asleep by the wind. The shadows of the trees are swaying, reflected on the panes, half trance-like and half-swaying.
Outside the Qianyuan Palace, the candle flame in the stone niche of the carved dragon is smeared, the Imperial Forest Army is a team of ten people, and there is a team of ten people from the Kung Fu of a stick of incense from each other, and no one knows the emperor's death, and the news is hidden by them.
In the queen's bedroom, she tossed and turned, and after two hours, she still could not sleep. This symptom is like a heart disease, and it makes people feel nervous from time to time. The maidservant who was keeping vigil heard the noise, and lit the candles in the house, but what she caught a glimpse of was the pale face of the queen mother.
The maidservant was shocked, and was about to call someone to call the imperial doctor, but was stopped by the queen's mother, she covered her heart, and said slowly: "I'll rest for a while, it's getting late, let's ask someone to ask the imperial doctor tomorrow." ”
The maid was afraid that something had happened to the queen, and she wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she saw that the queen coughed suddenly, and the only little blood left on her face receded.
Fragrant sweat poured out and spread a layer on her forehead, but the queen felt that even her breathing was being restrained. She opened her mouth to exhale, and the bottom of her heart hurt like a knife, and the little maid didn't dare to delay any longer when she saw this, so she hurriedly shouted loudly, causing the maid who was guarding the outside to trot to the door of the hospital.
The queen endured the palpitations and instructed the maid not to disturb the emperor, so she was relieved to half lean on the maid. She looked up as if she saw the emperor when she was young, or the night she married into the palace, the young man walked towards her with a light smile, it was the moment when the joy scale provoked Xipa, she was captured by the softness in his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, such vivid eyebrows and eyes seemed to be yesterday, and he turned around and smiled at her, just like when he was a young couple, so spoiled, so harmonious. The queen watched the figure of the young emperor go farther and farther, gradually falling into darkness, but the feeling of palpitations slowly disappeared, and the corner of her heart also became empty, as if something precious had been lost forever.
The queen slowly regained her composure, and she stared at the curtain of the bed in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. The maidservant didn't know what the queen was thinking, and she didn't dare to say anything to disturb her, but the movements of her subordinates slowly slowed down.
On this night, there was also a bit of a rough patch. Although the palace has stepped up its defenses, those secret guards are hidden in the shadows, and ordinary people may not be able to find out, but they can't hide from the ears and eyes of those who have a heart.
In the mansion of the three princes, the candle flame in the study was lit up a few more points, and several people were sitting in the room in turn. The three princes were alone at their desks, and even the servants who accompanied him were kicked out by him. At this moment, he was looking at the few people sitting at the bottom steadily, and his expression was unpredictable.
"Master, the palace will not be so martial law for no reason, something must have happened to the emperor. The first person sitting at the bottom was the think tank of the third prince, he wore a cyan scarf on his head, his face was a little pale, and he looked like a weak scholar.
"Master, when it is decided, it is decided, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. Now that Ling Qixuan is far away at the border, if he comes back, the master will only be a little difficult to take the opportunity to seize the throne. Immediately after that, the man's temples bulged, but he was a master of martial arts.
"Master, if this is the emperor's plan, I'm just afraid of ......" The other person spoke, his eyes were rolling and his bones were rolling, and he looked a little timid, he thought about it the most on weekdays, but this situation could not be ignored.
Several people argued, and they all reasoned about what they said, listening to their noise, the third prince scolded: "Shut up for me, for fear that others don't know what, if one of you is angry, I won't be angry with this nest." ”
The matter of grain and grass made the situation of the third prince here much worse than before, and several ministers who originally wanted him defected one after another, and some important ministers of the family, although they still expressed their support for him on the face, they were not as respectful as in the past. Ling Ruan had to lower his stature for the time being, and only one day when he could ascend to that position, he would make them look good one by one.
Several people were suddenly silent, and looked at the third prince with a cloudy face timidly. The atmosphere in the study was cold for a while, and the anger in the hearts of the three princes was estimated to dissipate a little, and the man with the green scarf considered and spoke: "Master, the opportunity is rare, don't hesitate any longer." ”
The third prince is having a black and white villain fighting endlessly, after all, the lesson of the Nine Emperors is there, if the father has the intention to take advantage of this to purge the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't he be falling into a trap, I'm afraid that the end will not be better than the ninth brother. After thinking about it, my father is getting old, and I can't say that I am overworked, and there are three long and two short.
Dongling is now the only person who can be in charge of the big responsibility, he and the eighth two, the eighth has great power in his hands, and the mother family holds the economic lifeline of Dongling, if the father really has a mistake, just wait for the old eight to return from the border pass, he is afraid that he will not have a chance with the throne in this life.
The mind of the three princes wavered, and they wanted to do a big job, but they were afraid that this was a complete set set by the emperor. After all, he didn't want to let Ling Qixuan pick up the cheap, he glanced at the three people under the seat, and made up his mind in his heart.
Since ancient times, anyone who has achieved great things will be a timid person, and he will also fight and bet on the country of Dongling. As long as he arranges it properly, even if it is a complete set set by his father, he will definitely be able to get out of the way.
Thinking of this, he ordered steadily: "Rectify the three armies, Xun Liu, you take a team of people to go to the palace with me, Zhang Zhi, you take someone to replace the defenders at the city gate, no one is allowed to enter the city before I get my order, and the affairs of the city closure must be done." ”
The third prince ordered the last person to go and control some important ministers in the court, so he put on his armor and led a team of men and horses towards the imperial city. In the middle of the night, on the main road of Gyeonggi, you can only hear the sound of "da-da" footsteps and the sound of armor colliding.
The palace didn't know anything about what happened here, the confrontation in the Qianyuan Hall was still continuing, and the ghost saw that he was hanging on the side of the bed in that posture, and after a long time, he only felt that the blood was only surging up his head, and the already black and ugly face was adding another color at the moment, and the little girl in front of him was like a hungry wolf waiting for an opportunity, and he had to keep an eye on her.
The ghost only felt that it was better to have a good fight with someone than to have a stalemate like this, and he thought like an old urchin playing a scoundrel, but unfortunately no one here would buy him.
"Oh, if you want to fight, you can fight, what's the matter with this consumption? My old man is old, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he is not more agile than your juniors, I said that your little girl is too, what if you have to get along with a dead man, you have to value you so much as a scholar. The ghost said sadly, but his movements were not as withered as the old man he said, and he turned over with his hands and feet, and his feet touched the side of the bed to have a solid feeling.
Lan Junyao grabbed the words in the ghost's words, the corners of her lips twitched twice unconsciously, I am afraid that the only one who can be called so affectionately by him is the Baicao scholar, and he just told himself the antidote to drunken Hongchen, or thought that he buried his bones in exchange, where did this ghost see that he valued himself.
"And you, that kid, I said what your father did was called, nothing to do in his harem, forcing scholars to study what poison, he can't live long, and he has to find a good backpad first, I am not kind. The ghost shook his head sadly, and unceremoniously chatted the two of them.
"Old man, did you answer the Baicao scholar to protect the body of the Dog Emperor?" Lan Junyao grasped the point of the ghost's sorrowful words, and quickly cleared her thoughts, thinking that this was the Baicao scholar's return to the queen mother for her kindness back then. She also knew in her heart that if this was the case, she was afraid that her goal would not be achieved tonight.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense, I don't say anything. The ghost saw that he was like someone had caught a sore foot, and his hair exploded instantly, but his reaction confirmed Lan Junyao's guess even more.
Ling Yi frowned, and didn't say anything in the end, although this bad old man was not very good-natured, but what he said was the truth, and he was not allowed to defend himself. Even he only learned the truth of the matter today.
Ghost has been paying attention to Lan Junyao's movements, he knows that as long as he says that Lan Junyao is moved, Mo Shi's side will not make another move, seeing that there are signs of loosening here, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and stepped up his persuasion: "It is better to settle the dispute, not to mention that you don't have a leg with the Eighth Prince, make trouble, in case Lang Jun runs away, it will not be worth it." ”
If she was really so good at talking, it wouldn't be Lan Junyao, she laughed angrily at the ghostly words, and said to him with a cruel smile: "The old man's words are a little far away, he is the son of my father and enemy, how can it be as the old man said." It's not that the old man has always been in love with the Baicao scholar but can't, so he did the errand of the old man. ”
Lan Junyao was so angry that he said casually, but he didn't want to be so frightened that he almost jumped off the bed, as if someone had discovered a little secret hidden in his heart, his eyes widened, and he was about to attack Lan Junyao.
There was movement outside the door at this time, and a few people in the hall were only concerned about the dispute, and they didn't even notice the sound of the temple door.
It's really a coincidence, but this secret guard is the man who was sent by the emperor to monitor Lan Junyao's movements in the library last time, and the sword in his hand was knocked down by the energy emitted by the ghost, and he looked at the stalemate for a while.
"What are you who dare to meddle in the affairs here?" Seeing that the ghost was worried about his neck, and the secret guard seemed to be quite jealous of him, he shuddered for a moment, and looked at Ling Yi on the side in embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" "Father's will said, the secret guard is temporarily at his disposal, seeing his embarrassed appearance, Ling Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this is still dragging on and not being able to solve it, don't go wrong again.
"Your Royal Highness, the third prince has brought people to surround the imperial city, and there are their people everywhere outside the palace gate. The Dark Guard replied.
