Chapter 60: Swing your sword to break the clouds

"Brother Huang has treated me kindly since I was a child, and he has protected me in everything, no matter what trouble I have caused, he will settle it for me, I was punished by my father, he will be punished with me, and every time my father has to retreat. He often said that brothers are one, blood is thicker than water, hands and feet are connected, they cannot be separated, no one is allowed to abandon anyone, we will always be good brothers for life. Chen Ji seemed to be stuck in the nostalgia for the good past, and struggled and said, "Brother Huang has always been very good to me, and he has never been sorry for me, and even in order to save me from the Zhou State, he did not hesitate to cede several states in Qianzhong, just to rescue me!" It was the eldest mother who killed my mother, and she had nothing to do with him, but I imposed my resentment on him. Isn't this too cruel to him? ”

My voice suddenly became cold, "Did Your Majesty say something to the prince?" ”

"Brother Huang thinks about me and is good for me in everything. He even said that the prince is cowardly and unbearable, and if he wants to make me the emperor's younger brother, he just has to send the world to me! But how did I treat him, I was jealous of him, I resented him, hurt him, and secretly stuck a knife in my back, I was a brother in vain! Chen's voice was full of self-blame, remorse, and apology.

"Lord Wang, be sober, he is already suspicious of you, maybe he said that he wanted to make you the emperor's younger brother to test whether you covet the throne. Do you think he really wants to pass on the throne to you, he will only pass it on to his beloved son. He is just using you, taking advantage of your brotherhood, making you willing to defend the country of Chen for his son, for the cattle and for the horse! "What a Chen Qian, he actually tempted Chen Qian with affection and righteousness, which made Chen Qian so confused that he even gave up his plan to seize the throne.

"I'm very sober and can tell what is true and what is false. Brother Huang didn't lie to me, I have been deceiving him, I can't stand him! ”

I was anxious and angry, "Then the prince is going to give up?" Where is your power, your ambition, your ambition? Have you forgotten what you have suffered for so many years, have you forgotten your grievances and forbearance for so many years? ”

"I haven't forgotten!" Chen Ji's consciousness was sober, but then he said in pain, "But I can't do anything to the imperial brother." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and it hurt and hurt, "What about me, have you forgotten how he did to me?" He used me again and again, humiliated me, tortured me, and I lost a woman's most precious innocence. Because of him, I struggled on the line of death again and again; Because of him, I became blind, I became blind, I couldn't see anything, and everything about me was ruined by him! I've been holding back until now, just so that one day I can take revenge! But now you actually tell me that you have relented, have you thought about my feelings! ”

I laughed to myself and sneered, "Also, it's just my business, how can you care about my pain, how can you know how I have been suffering step by step until now!" ”

I was grief-stricken and wanted to walk with a cane, but Chen Ji hugged me from behind and gasped urgently: "I care, Qingqiang, how can I not care about your feelings, your pain, your grievances, I know everything." But Qingqiang, after all, he is my brother who is related to my blood......"

Hearing his hesitation like this, I angrily broke away from him, sad and disappointed, and said fiercely: "Let go of me, Chen Ji, I didn't expect you to be such a weak-willed and wavering coward, I misjudged you!" Since you want to be a good brother, you can be a good brother of Chen Qian for the rest of your life, I won't accompany you! ”

Under the intense ups and downs of emotions, I groped my way with crutches to escape, but I heard Chen Ji's voice following up, "Qingqiang! ”

"Don't follow me!" I scolded angrily and said coldly, "Let me go alone!" ”

"Qinglan, follow her quickly, be careful of your master!" Behind it was Chen Ji's voice instructing Qinglan.

I stumbled away, my mood was extremely confused, and I didn't know where it was tonight, my feet were soft, I couldn't hang down the ground, my skirt was as soft as smoke, and the green willow silk was like a cigarette, and the loneliness and helplessness rolled up my body like waves, and all the resentment and unwillingness, sadness and grievance, all condensed into a tear in the corner of my eye.

If I want to stay in the palace for the rest of my life, watching Chen Qian sit on the throne and stay happily on that throne until the end of my life, then I might as well die. I must not, I must not let Chen Qian be so satisfied!

——

During this time I was depressed, not thinking about eating, and depressed all day long, for several days on end. Chen Qian looked distressed, took a copy of "Xiaolin" to tell jokes to make me happy, and sent some musicians to play the piano and sing in Yilan Palace, and also called the prince and princess of An Cheng into the palace to talk to me to relieve my boredom. In this way, I still frowned and did not see joy.

Chen Qian was worried, and then Jiang Yulai came up with an idea, "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for saying something disrespectful." Niangniang has lived outside the palace since she was a child, and she is used to being free. Now in the palace, there are many rules, they are constrained everywhere, their eyes are invisible, their mobility is inconvenient, and they are inevitably depressed. Your Majesty might as well take the mother out of the palace to relax, to the outside of the palace, the nature is vast, the weather is fresh, the mood is good, the heart knot is naturally untied, and the mood is also broadened. ”

Chen Qian smiled at me and said, "Haven't you always wanted to go outside the palace to have a look, I have fulfilled your wish this time, am you happy?" ”

The corners of my eyebrows raised slightly, "The gentleman is true to his word, and His Majesty is not allowed to go back." ”

"I will not go back."

I suddenly became cheerful and said, "That Qingqiang can be said, Qingqiang doesn't want to go to a crowded place, it's too noisy." I want to go to a place where the mountains and forests are quiet, Your Majesty is not allowed to bring so many people to follow, it doesn't disturb my interest in enjoying the scenery, it is best to have only His Majesty and Qingqiang. ”

Chen Qian rarely saw me so disgusted and coquettish, and she didn't feel happy, "Okay, I depend on you, just go out, but don't play wild." ”

I snuggled into his arms, and where he couldn't see, the corners of my lips hooked up a weird smile, and I said softly: "As long as Qingqiang can go out to see it once, she will be satisfied." ”

Chen Qian didn't break his promise, he really took me out of the palace, and there were not many followers, only about 20 people, Xiao Liang was close to him, and the rest followed secretly. Jiang Yu should have accompanied him today, but he suddenly had abdominal pain today, and it was estimated that he had a bad stomach, Jiang Yu couldn't travel with him, so he could only send a small chamberlain to follow. And I, instead of Qinglan, who is close to me on weekdays, is Lifei.

Today's events are too dangerous, Jiang Yu will not come, and I don't want to involve Qinglan in this whirlpool.

The sky is warm and warm, the mountains are silent, the cool breeze gently blows the hair of my temples, densely brushed on my face, I seem to see, the desert field, the flowers and trees, the lush grass, the sun reveals a sparse smell of green herbs, softly sunning on me, I groped for a branch of magnolia flowers on the side of the road, and the fragrant breath filled my nose and diffused into my heart.

The sound of rustling and shaking suddenly sounded between the dense grass and trees on both sides of the road, as if it was the sound of objects jumping to the ground, and only the sound of "dang" was heard in my ears. ”

Immediately followed by the chaotic footsteps, the violent sound of the clanging blades, in the melee, I quietly felt the dagger in my sleeve, clenched it, and stabbed straight into Chen Qian's heart.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Accompanied by Lifei's exclamation, there was also a flying stone, which hit my hand, my hand hurt, the blade of the sword was deflected, and it failed to stab Chen Qian's vital point, and the wound was not deep, only an inch in.

Seeing Li Fei rushing towards me, Xiao Liang hurriedly pulled me away and protected me aside.

Li Fei stared at me and Xiao Liang with wide eyes, and then at the large number of assassins coming from both sides of the grass and trees, and exclaimed, "It turns out that you are actually in a group!" ”

Chen Qian looked at me in disbelief, "Your eyes, can you see?" ”

I coldly curled the corners of my lips, "Thanks to the famous doctor invited by Your Majesty, my eyes were cured a few days ago, but in order to dispel Your Majesty's vigilance, I had to continue to pretend to be blind for a few days." ”

Chen Qian was shocked and angry, staring at me for a long time and speechless, "Okay...... You're good. You've already arranged all of this, right? ”

That's right, I planned it a long time ago, and since Chen Ji is shaken, then he can't be trusted. And at this time, the Fuliang Society, which has been hit hard, has recovered its vitality, so why don't I join forces with them to deal with Chen Qian together. I first secretly contacted the Fuliang Society through Han Xiuhua, set up an assassination plan, and dredged Jiang Yu, asked him to help me speak, and asked Chen Qian to take me out of the palace. Set up an ambush here in advance, just wait for Chen Qian to come, and then capture and kill in one fell swoop!

Li Fei accused me with a accusatory look, "Niangniang, Your Majesty treats you well, why are you like this!" ”

"Don't call me a." I frowned in disgust, "This teaches me to be disgusting." In your opinion, the title of Niangniang may be a gift and a favor, which many women dream of, but they can't ask for it. But I'm not rare at all, it makes me afraid, I am disgusted, I am even hated! ”

"Hate, you hate me so much?" Chen Qian's eyes were painful and confused, and he said bitterly, "Three years, these three years have been accompanied day and night, and you really have nothing in your heart?" ”

"Absolutely!" My voice was like a white wave hitting a stone, and I gritted my teeth and said, "I am always thinking of taking your life and repaying the hurt and pain you inflicted on me a thousand times over!" ”

"You, I'm not good enough for you, you actually want me to die!" Chen Qian's wound hurt, and he couldn't help but snort in pain and covered the wound.

I sneered disdainfully, "Your so-called goodness should be left to those women in the harem who are looking forward to your rain and dew." I'm not rare, you killed my master, I must make you pay for your life today! ”

Although Chen Qian's guards are good at martial arts, few and fine, they are outnumbered, how can they be able to defeat the people of the Fuliang Guild who came prepared. I saw the guards around Chen Qian fall one by one, and the more they were mobilized, the more they didn't want to talk nonsense with him, I raised my eyebrows and said: "Chen Qian, today is your death!" ”

Chen Qian, who was fighting the enemy with his sword, couldn't help but roar angrily when he heard this. In the next moment, the long sword immediately pierced through the enemy's body, and blood gushed out.

Chen Qian glanced back at me, there was fanatical killing intent in his eyes, and there was a faint despair and pain under the beating flames. His face twisted into a ball of pain, "Xiao Qingqiang, you are so ruthless, you actually killed your husband, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder!" ”

What about killing the husband, what about the thunder and thunder in the sky, there is nothing in this world that I Xiao Qingqiang wants to do but dare not do, if Cang Tian really has eyes, the first thunder comes down, he should kill Chen Qian, this bastard!

I looked at Chen Qian's embarrassed appearance of being injured and fighting with admiration, and thought: Despair, pain, embarrassment, but your despair and pain are far less than one-tenth of mine! I used to be like this, I was forced to the abyss of death by you step by step, and there was no way back!

A happy smile flashed on my face, admiring Chen Qian's embarrassed posture happily, and the embarrassment of being isolated and helpless, I only felt that I had exhaled a breath of turbid breath that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time.

However, my pleasure did not last long, when I heard a loud roar from the bottom of the mountain road, "Your Majesty, the ministers are here to help!" ”

I looked at the Yulin Army rushing up under the mountain, and the leader was Han Zigao, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and my eyes were dark, and I almost didn't have a head.
