Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 55 Scheming
Xiao Qiao looked at Gu Lezhi and Concubine Xiao who were trapped in the fire, frowned and threw the handle of the Nine Dragons Whip in his hand, and held the thorny braid rope in his hand.
"Come here."
Xiao Qiao said sharply.
Gu Le was stunned, sobbing tears and looking at Xiao Qiao and then at Concubine Xiao beside him.
He was trapped at this time and couldn't move, he couldn't move the beam that was pressing on his legs, and he couldn't bear to let Concubine Xiao stay here and die with him, so he pushed Concubine Xiao away fiercely and shouted:
"Don't come here!"
Concubine Xiao held her injured waist and crawled towards Gu Lezhi again, still screaming hoarsely.
"You crazy woman, I told you not to come! Don't touch me! ”
Concubine Xiao's hand was frozen in the air, and her mouth was long but she couldn't make a sound. Concubine Xiao's face had already been burned, and the tears that ran down her cheeks all turned scarlet.
"I told you to come first!"
Xiao Qiao shouted at Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao has been injured, and she can only die inside with Gu Lezhi if she stays inside. Of course, Xiao Qiao hopes that both of them can come out alive, but in the current situation, she can only guarantee that one can live.
And the wrinkles on Concubine Xiao's neck and hands made her suspicious.
Who is this Concubine Xiao? Why do I have the same scar on my face?
But Concubine Xiao didn't take the whip handle, but crawled over with difficulty, and used her body to arch the beam that pressed Gu Lezhi's legs......
"Let's go! Hurry up! ”
Gu Lezhi was so anxious that he cried.
But Concubine Xiao just thought that Gu Lezhi was afraid of her appearance, so she only dared to stay away, and kept lifting the beam with her hands and shoulders......
"Let's ...... away"
Gu Lezhi's tears blurred her eyes, and in the firelight, she seemed to see something on Concubine Xiao's face beginning to fall off......
It was as if I saw a familiar face......
I seem to understand the words that have been hoarse......
Seems to have been calling......
Le Er......
When Concubine Xiao finally lifted the beam that was pressed on Gu Lezhi's leg with her bloody hand that had been burned by the fire, Gu Lezhi withdrew her stiff leg and looked up with tears, but was pushed out by Concubine Xiao with her last strength, and Xiao Qiao saw the situation and rolled her back with a whip.
"!"
Before Gu Lezhi's words fell, the collapsed wooden stake completely drowned Concubine Xiao in the sea of fire.
"Niangniang...... Gu Lezhi trembled and grabbed Xiao Qiao's hand as he was stupid, "General Xiao...... General Xiao, can you save her...... Save her......"
Xiao Qiao covered his mouth and nose and probed into the fire, but every time he was pushed out by the huge fire snake, he saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger at this time, and at this moment, it was useless to rush into the sea of fire again. She could only drag Gu Lezhi out in silence.
However, Gu Lezhi knelt straight in front of Xiao Qiao at this time: "General Xiao, I beg you, don't care if your mother is good or not...... We can't leave her behind......"
Xiao Qiao didn't expect that Concubine Xiao would fight hard to save Gu Lezhi, who is this person? Where is Rong Su?
She frowned tightly, and it was very uncomfortable to look at Gu Lezhi's appearance, but at this time, Gu Lezhi and Sixteen were not out of danger, and she was the only one who could take them away......
"You're kneeling here and we're all going to die! All she did was to get you out of here! What if you die here today! Will she be blinded! ”
Xiao Qiao dragged Gu Lezhi, who was kneeling, and dragged him out.
How is such a scene unfamiliar?
Five years ago, she and her brother were trapped in the secret room...... How is it...... Isn't it?
Xiao Qiao was afraid that Gu Lezhi would do something stupid and knock her unconscious.
There were fires all around, and Xiao Qiao dragged the two of them to a burned open space with difficulty.
Watch the flames engulf the palace that no one cared about, the dead grass that had been dead for a long time, and look at the high walls that were also trapped by the fire......
------
"What did you say!"
"Master, young master...... The young master was arrested by the concubine! ”
When Qin Xilan rushed to the door, she happened to hear the second half of the sentence, she also heard about it, and hurriedly came, as soon as she entered the door, the teacup that Qin Xiang fell down smashed at her feet, so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down.
"Father's ......"
"Look what you've done!"
As soon as Qin Xilan raised her head, she looked at Qin Xiang's heavy slap, and was instantly dumbfounded.
Qin Xiang angrily withdrew the raised slap, shook his sleeves heavily, and then went to the palace.
Qin Xilan looked at the back of her father leaving, thinking about the slap that was raised just now, two lines of tears remained, and the anxiety about Qin Zijiao in her heart instantly turned into hatred......
As the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the noble concubine of Daqi, she was willing to be hung in the air for her father's merits, and she couldn't get her own children because of her surname Qin......
If Qin Xiang and Gu Beixuan will always be opposed, she now has a new choice in her heart.
"Come on, go back to the palace." Qin Xilan wiped away her tears.
----
When Concubine Yin came to Tuluan Palace, Qin Xiang had already knelt at the door of Tuluan Hall for three hours.
Concubine Yin looked at this figure with a hint of old back, smiled, and slowed down when she walked to Qin Xiang's side.
Qin Xiang looked at the shoes next to him, and already knew who was coming, this person was the one who arrested his son in prison, but Qin Xiang slowly bowed:
"Concubine Niangniang Wan'an."
When Qin Xiang and the woman in front of him looked at each other, there were three traces of weakness in his smile and seven traces of begging.
He knew that now, the emperor would definitely use Qin Zijiao as an excuse to bring him down, and at the same time, his daughter Qin Xilan would also become isolated in this deep palace, so now, he could only beg the concubine to let his daughter go.
He never thought about how scheming this concubine who did not fight in the eyes of the world was, and he only felt ridiculous when he remembered the things he had done with her before.
He didn't expect that one day, he would be commanded by her, and he didn't expect him to surrender to one of his former pawns.
When Rong Ying died, Concubine Yin smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a chess piece...... Death is death......" echoed in Qin Xiang's ears......
It turns out that from beginning to end, he is a chess piece.
Concubine Yin just nodded, and then walked towards the Tuoluan Hall with a smile.
When she came in, Gu Beiling was playing chess, and after Father-in-law Wei stepped back, Concubine Yin sat opposite Gu Beiling and put a sunspot on the chessboard.
"Is it fun?"
Gu Beixuan opened his mouth to ask, his eyes were only on the chessboard, and he didn't look at her.
"There is a fire in the Fuqiang Palace, why doesn't Your Majesty visit? Concubine Xiao is still inside......"
"Didn't you want her to die?"
Gu Beixuan said in one word.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Concubine Yin smiled.
"What do you mean?" Gu Beixuan looked at Concubine Yin coldly, this was a rare cold color on his body.
Concubine Yin chuckled: "Does Your Majesty love Concubine Xiao or not?" Your Majesty knows the darkness...... It's really better to die than to die?"
"I just want her to live rather than die."
Gu Beiling stood up and brushed his sleeves: "Do you know why I named her Concubine Xiao?"
Concubine Yin's face twitched.
"Because I want her to remember until she dies, the grace she wants is the nightmare of her ghosts, so that she will never forget the word 'Xiao' in her life, and she will never forget what she did and the people she harmed."
Gu Beixuan leaned over to the ear of the concubine and stabbed every piercing word into her heart.
"But Your Majesty didn't expect her to be able to shed her shell, did you?"
"Golden cicadas coming out of their shells?"
Gu Beixuan smiled: "I want you to die, how long can you live?"
Gu Beixuan looked at the smiling woman in front of him, at this familiar face and at the person who called him hateful hidden behind this face.
- Rong Su.
On the day the Rong family was raided, Gu Beiling tied Rong Su to the Rong Mansion and told her to watch her relatives die one by one in front of her, so that she could understand the helplessness of the Xiao family's general mansion when it was raided;
He imprisoned her in a cold palace with only darkness, and watched her experience the pain of Xiao Qiao being trapped in a secret room;
He gave her the title of making people jealous and vicious, and also made her trapped in this "Xiao" word for the rest of her life, and it was better to die than to die......
Everything Xiao Qiao has experienced, he has to ask her to repay it tenfold and hundredfold...... Now, this woman still dares to appear in front of him with someone else's face?
Gu Beixuan's anger made the Tuluan Hall become depressed, and the concubine was still leisurely playing against the number of steps before him.
"I won't die, I won't die until Your Majesty overthrows Prime Minister Qin."
Concubine Yin looked up confidently and smiled.
Gu Beixuan grabbed her by the neck and pushed her back to the pillar, looking at her face and thinking of the fire in Fuqiang Palace, his heart was like a knife.
When he was a child, he was the only one in the palace who really treated him well, and he once vowed to protect her for the rest of her life, provide for her in old age, and send her to the end of her life...... Therefore, Concubine Yin and Gu Lezhi, where she was, became the only people in the royal family who remained in the previous dynasty except Gu Beiling.
However, Rong Su actually replaced himself and his concubine with a disguise technique, and for so many years, he almost never visited the "Concubine Xiao" who was imprisoned in the Fuqiang Palace, the person he swore to cherish......
"Rong Su, how dare you?"
Gu Beixuan's head was bruised, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood in anger, but his hand was still pinching Rong Su.
"Your Majesty......" Rong Su trembled and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, "Your Majesty didn't think that there was a ...... today?"
Gu Beixuan coughed violently again, covering his mouth and nose with only his sleeve, Rong Su's neck suddenly loosened, and he slid down the pillar and fell to the ground.
After Rong Su breathed a few breaths, he got up again to help Gu Beiju, but was pushed away by Gu Beiju.
"Get out!" Gu Beixuan roared.
Rong Su looked at Gu Beixuan, who was dressed in black today, and smiled: "Others don't know, don't I know yet?" Why does Your Majesty like to wear black now? It's nothing more than the Gu in the body gnawing at the body, Your Majesty doesn't want to be found out about the blood-stained red clothes......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty can use your own body as a Gu to control those puppets for the sake of power, and Su'er can naturally clear all obstacles for your Majesty's country...... Isn't it?"
"I won't let you die so easily......"
"Oh? Is it not easy to die like General Xiao and Xiao Yan? Or like His Majesty's biological mother and the former emperor? Or is it like the concubine who was tortured in the cold palace by His Majesty and then burned alive?"
Gu Beixuan stared at her deadly, only feeling out of breath.
"Your Majesty, no matter how much you love your sister-in-law, you just watched her die in your great cause. No matter how guilty you feel about your concubine at this time, you didn't save her...... It's just because of the burning of the Fuqiang Palace, Xiao Qiao will no longer know that his sister's death is ...... with you."
"I can't get out of the relationship."
Rong Su smiled coldly.
