"Niangniang, there is an assassin in the palace, and the minion has notified the emperor." Liu Jindao.

After informing the emperor, Wang Laohu thought that the emperor might come to the palace soon, and he himself would be able to see the emperor soon, and after seeing the emperor, maybe he would be able to tell the emperor about it.

"The emperor also knows?" Concubine Qi said, "When will the emperor come?" ”

"Niangniang, the emperor is coming, it's not a matter of a while, this leopard room is here, far away?" Liu Jindao.

"Yes." Concubine Qi got up from the chair, looking a little lonely, if such a thing happened, it is still unknown whether the emperor will come.

Wang Laohu really wanted to ask, is Concubine Qi's stomach well? Now, with Liu Jin here, Wang Laohu can't ask.

It's been a long time, the emperor hasn't arrived yet, according to the time, the emperor should have arrived here, and if he didn't come at this time, is the emperor not coming? Liu Jin said: "Niangniang, it's not too early, and the slave will retire." ”

Concubine Qi also nodded.

When Liu Jin withdrew, he looked at Wang Laohu, who was with Master Kuang, he looked Wang Laohu up and down a few times, but did not speak, and then smiled gloomily at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Laohu also smiled at him.

Watching Liu Jin and the man behind him get out of the mother's bedroom, Wang Laohu had an indescribable feeling in his heart, this yin and yang strange man was the first time he met himself, he was Liu Jin, known as one of the Eight Tigers, the great traitor in history, and he was going to be his enemy and deal with the emperor next.

Wang Laohu was a little dazed, this palace is full of his people, and then look at the Manchu civil and military, most of them are his people, and if they want to move him, now it seems that there is really not much certainty.

"Mother, we're also leaving." Lord Kwong asked Concubine Qi to resign.

Wang Laohu followed Lord Kuang out of Concubine Qi's bedroom, and Lord Kuang asked, "Lord Wang, what do you think of this tonight?" ”

Wang Laohu thought for a while and said: "What happened tonight will not be your ......" Wang Laohu guessed that this matter was sent by Liu Jin to do it, not only to scare Concubine Qi, but also to give Wang Laohu a warning.

"Lord Wang, it's good that you know." Kuang Dadao, "I can tell you, you can do this matter quickly, otherwise, someone else will do it." The consequences ......"

"I understand, I understand." Wang Laohu should admit it, Liu Jin sounded the alarm to Wang Laohu, this matter, Wang Laohu doesn't do it, there are still many people who do, Concubine Qi, a concubine who stole a wild man, the emperor will not take it to heart. This made Wang Laohu think of another point, something like this happened to Concubine Qi tonight, and the emperor didn't come. Wang Laohu asked Feng Sheng to carry the letter, but the emperor did not receive it, but he did not want to come.

Wang Laohu understood that the emperor would not come during this time, and Long Yan couldn't listen to other words at all under his anger. So what do you do now? Concubine Qi originally wanted to report to the emperor? Now it seems that he can't be repaid. Liu Jin pressed tightly, and the queen mother kept a firm eye on her, and she had to make her own decisions completely.

As soon as Wang Laohu returned to his residence, someone sent a message. It was said that someone in the prison had just sent the news, and Imperial Physician Li was clamoring to see Wang Laohu.

When Wang Laohu heard that Li Qinbao wanted to see him, he already knew what he was going to say, so he said to Qi Shun and the two brocade guards: "It's so late, don't go over, I'll go alone." ”

Qi Shun can make sense, but the two brocade guards said: "My lord, we don't worry about you going alone." ”

"What else can a Imperial Doctor Li do to me?" Although Wang Laohu said this, he knew that if he didn't let them follow, they wouldn't give up easily.

"Alright, let's go together." In this case, Wang Laohu also let Qi Shun go with him, and with Qi Shun there, he could also watch the two brocade guards.

In prison. Wang Laohu didn't let anyone else in.

As soon as Wang Laohu entered the cell, he saw Li Qinbao's drooping appearance, he had completely lost the heroic appearance when he first came in, his hands were raised upward, and he was handcuffed by iron chains, such a long time of being tied may have worn out his momentum.

Wang Laohu picked a seat and sat down, and said: "According to the time calculation, it is now the second day after the third watch, I can say, the time is only until last night." ”

"Lord Wang, I told you a shocking secret, I said, you want to keep my life." Li Qinbao said.

"It depends on whether what you say is worthwhile?"

"Lord Wang, in fact, this is the case." Li Qinbao spoke, Wang Laohu listened quietly, this matter is the same as what Concubine Qi said, Li Qinbao's words further confirmed that what Concubine Qi said was true, and further confirmed that the child in Concubine Qi was a dragon species, and it was confirmed, Wang Laohu had to see what to do next.

"Lord Wang, what I said is all true. You can spare me. ”

"If you already knew about these things, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

"Don't hide it from Lord Wang, I promised Concubine Qi to keep my secret."

"Then I'm going to ask Imperial Doctor Li again, why don't you keep this secret now?" Wang Laohu said.

"My life is almost gone, and I still keep this secret for my master, does it make sense?" Li Qinbao said, "Lord Wang, I have said everything you asked me to say, you can let me go." ”

"What do you say?" Wang Laohu said, "This matter is very important, who else have you told it?" ”

"Lord Wang, I didn't say anything to anyone except you."

"Good. You remember, no one can say anything about this but me. Wang Laohu confessed.

Wang Laohu returned to his temporary residence and thought about it for a night, this matter involved too much, too much, and if he was not careful in handling it, he would offend people.

Liu Jinfu.

"Lord Liu, Wang Laohu has already come up with the results of the investigation." Lord Kuang said to Liu Jin with the results of the investigation that Wang Laohu had just handed over to him.

Liu Jin took the pipe and said to Lord Kuang: "What did he say?" ”

"Lord Liu, Wang Laohu said that Concubine Qi was pregnant with wild seeds in her belly, and asked you how to deal with it?" Kwong Da Humane.

"Bring it and I'll take a look." Lord Kwong respectfully handed over the results of the investigation to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin squinted, touched his pipe, looked at the results presented by Wang Laohu, and said: "Just this, Wang Laohu has dragged on for so many days, although this Wang Laohu has just come to the capital, this is the way of the official, he still knows something, we Jinyiwei have to learn more from him, this ability to do things, as well as the style of work, can not leave a handle for people." ”

"Yes, yes, Liu Chitose. Wang Laohu also asked how do you deal with this matter? ”

"I'll go and ask the emperor about this matter and hear what he means." Liu Jin said, "After all, this is his family matter." ”

"Didn't the queen keep telling us to end this matter?"

"Her mind, who would not know. I don't care if I deal with this matter. ”

"Wang Laohu has always wanted to come to see you, what do you think of this?" Lord Kwong asked.

"Didn't you see it in Concubine Qi's bedroom last time?" Liu Jindao.

"His admiration for you is like a surging river." Kwong Da Humane.

"Even you have good things to say about him." Liu Jin said, "When this matter is dealt with, you can make an appointment for me." ”

Two days later, Wang Laohu got a clear answer.

This is the emperor's meaning or Liu Jin's meaning, Wang Laohu doesn't know, but he can be sure of one thing, the emperor knows the results of the investigation that Wang Laohu said, but the real result, Wang Laohu didn't say, because he wanted to keep the child in Concubine Qi's belly, the palace is full of crises, the harem beauties are very sensitive to who is pregnant with the dragon son, Concubine Qi has a child, it will definitely cause their jealousy, but now in this situation, Wang Laohu lied about the results, will he suffer the same ending?

Judging from the responses, the methods are different, but the results are the same.

Wang Laohu didn't know how to end it, he didn't know if he was doing it right, following Concubine Qi's wishes, but it was the same result. Wang Laohu was unwilling, he was really unwilling, obviously Wang Laohu could tell the emperor the news, but he couldn't tell him. This kind of helplessness that can't help himself, who does Wang Laohu say to. He really wanted to go out of the palace to see the emperor in the leopard room, but if he took this step, he and the emperor would not be able to turn back, and the foundation laid in the previous years would disappear at once.

If you don't get the trust of the Eight Tigers, you can't do the next thing anymore, and you are on the cusp of the storm, and you can either defeat the Eight Tigers, or be wiped out by the Eight Tigers, or stay away from here and avoid the disturbances here.

What should Wang Laohu do with such a reply?

It was Lord Kuang who came to deliver the news to Wang Laohu, "Lord Wang, Liu Qiansui said, let you do this matter." ”

Let Wang Laohu carry it out with his own hands, Wang Laohu can't escape, no matter whose child is in Concubine Qi's belly, Wang Laohu's sin can't escape.

"Master Kuang, I was just asked to investigate this matter, do you think you can let someone else do it?" Wang Laohu said.

"Lord Wang, this matter must be done by you, this is Liu Qiansui's trust in you." Kwong Da Humane.

"Can you discuss it with Lord Liu again, let Jinyiwei or Dongchang come forward in this matter."

"Don't, don't, you may not know Lord Liu very well, he speaks the same thing, you refuse, but you don't take Lord Liu's words too seriously."

Wang Laohu was put on the neck with a knife, this executioner is the only one who does it, and Concubine Qi should also know the result of this matter, and she should have thought about it.

Concubine Qi's dormitory.

"Niangniang, the result of your handling of this matter has come down." Wang Laohu said.

"You told the emperor about this completely?" Concubine Qi asked.

"I didn't see the emperor." Wang Laohu sighed.

Concubine Qi was also a little disappointed in her heart, she had told Wang Laohu all the secrets, hoping that he could keep his child, but no matter how hard she tried, the result was still the same. "I don't blame you, when you see the emperor one day, you tell him the truth."

This is the helplessness in her heart, a kind of helplessness when parting, but if she tells the emperor the truth afterwards, she and Concubine Qi have committed a great crime, a great capital crime, and a capital crime of bullying the king. After dealing with Concubine Qi, the truth can never be said, and the truth will never be published in the world.

"The emperor misses your old feelings and wants me to leave your life, but the child in your belly ......," Wang Laohu said and sighed.

"Lord Wang, this palace begs you, it's not a pity for me to die, please keep the dragon vein in my belly." Concubine Qi pleaded, her eyes full of pity.

How can the fetus be preserved if it is dead?

"Concubine Qi, this matter is not for me to decide."

"Bengong has been in the palace for six years, and now he is finally pregnant, but he can't be saved, and Bengong, as a mother, regrets it in my heart." Wang Laohu knew that Concubine Qi was hating herself for not being able to protect him, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she covered up, she couldn't protect her child. In the Emperor's House, you have to bear the risks of the Emperor's House, the sorrow of the Emperor's House.

"Thinking about it now, I would rather marry an ordinary family and live a plain life with the person I love. There is a husband who loves each other, and a few children who are running around. ”

"But you know how many people out there yearn for a life like Niangniang." Wang Laohu said.

"Lord Wang, if you kill the children of this palace, I will not live in the world again." Qi Fei said.

Wang Laohu said, looked at her again, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the dormitory.

Finally came to the day of execution, Li Qinbao, the imperial doctor, no one took pity on him, and his death was also quiet, and it did not attract many people's attention. Moreover, when such a thing happened in the palace, the emperor also hoped that Wang Laohu would deal with it quietly.

Jail.

In front of Li Qinbao, there was a sumptuous meal, wine, and meat, and he understood that his days in this world were numbered. The tied body has also been put down, and the shackles on the hands are still there. Li Qinbao muttered and said, "Wang Laohu, you are not a human, you are really not a human." As he spoke, he ripped off a chicken leg and shoved it into his mouth.

"Mother, mother......" Li Qinbao wailed, "Mother, I'll go first, you have to take care." ”

When the wine was spilled, he raised the flask, raised his head, and drank it with a clatter, and the line of wine spilled from the flask, fell into his mouth, and cooing came out of his mouth again.

He laughed again, this is something he could not have imagined, he will die here, he will die here for no reason, and after eating this meal, he will be on his way.

"Wang Laohu, I'll fuck your ancestor." Li Qinbao let out a desperate cry, "Haha, I won't let you go if I turn into a ghost." ”

……

Jail.

Wang Laohu, Qi Shun, and the two brocade guards who followed him.

"Imperial Doctor Li, you also ate this severed head meal, you should know what I came here for today?" Wang Laohu said.

"Wang Laohu, I won't let you go, I won't let you go." Li Qinbao said.

"It's not me who wants your life, it's the emperor. If you do such a thing, no one can protect you. Wang Laohu said.

"Before I die, you let me see Concubine Qi again."

Wang Laohu looked at Li Qinbao and said, "Niangniang may not want to see you. Say, if you have anything you want me to give to my mother, I will definitely bring it. ”

Li Qinbao let out a long roar and said, "It's okay, it's okay." I'm going to die. Wang Laohu, you can give a word to Niangniang for me, I can no longer serve Niangniang in this life, and I am willing to be Niangniang's slave in the next life. Li Qinbao shed tears as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll bring your words." Wang Laohu said, "Come on, serve wine." ”

Qi Shun brought a glass of wine from behind him, everyone in the Ming knew what kind of wine this was, and of course Li Qinbao also understood, but he still thanked Wang Laohu for leaving a whole corpse after his death.

Li Qinbao took the wine from Qi Shun's hand and said to Wang Laohu: "Thank you." ”

Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Qinbao still said thank you to Wang Laohu. He raised his glass and drank it all, he knew that there was no pain in it, so he drank it in one gulp, and the glass soon fell into his stomach, and the glass fell to the ground, "popping" and falling to pieces......

Concubine Qi's dormitory.

Wang Laohu knew that there were many people watching Concubine Qi's matter, saying that they let themselves deal with it, but they didn't have to do it according to their wishes.

"Mother, you know the purpose of my visit today."

Concubine Qi looked at Wang Laohu and the battle behind him, of course she knew the reason why he came today, "Is it the end of the days of this palace?" She asked.

"The emperor didn't let me take my mother's life, but the child in my belly ......"

"Isn't that the same as taking my life?" Concubine Qi said, "Lord Wang, you should dispose of this palace together." ”

"Niangniang, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you and the emperor will have their own children." Wang Laohu comforted Concubine Qi.

"Will they have their own children?" Concubine Qi shook her head, "Everyone says that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and this palace must always be wary of even accompanying its husband, this palace is tired of living such a day, and it is good to be relieved now." ”

"With all due respect, you are a mother, how many people are too late to envy you? If you don't have a child, you can have another life, but if you don't have a life, you really have nothing. ”

Concubine Qi said: "Is my life still interesting?" ”

"A strong heart is more important than anything else, everyone will have a time when they are bitter, and the same is true for Niangniang."

"Lord Wang, are you comforting this palace? Will you spare my son's life? ”

Wang Laohu couldn't answer her words, he had already given an order, and Wang Laohu couldn't change the fact, "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”

"Does what Hongu said still work?" Concubine Qi said, "Lord Wang, you can give me more incense sticks for the child." ”

Wang Laohu nodded, and said to Qi Shun behind him: "Come on, give medicine." ”

Qi Shun took a bowl of potion and handed it to the front of Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi looked at the potion and said to Wang Laohu: "Lord Wang, I drank this potion, so I don't know anything." There are also children of Hongu. ”

"Drink it, and that's it." Wang Laohu said.

Concubine Qi trembled her hands, picked up the potion in front of her, and slowly lifted it upward, this bowl of potion is slightly different from ordinary water in color, clear, no muddy, but this bowl of different water, how much is it, Concubine Qi knows that if this bowl goes down, the child in her belly will not be protected.

Wang Laohu knew the weight of this potion, a thousand catties, Concubine Qi's hands trembled, shaking, this bowl itself is not big, as if there is a potion spilled.

"Mother, this water is going to be leveled." Wang Laohu reminded.

Concubine Qi knew that she couldn't pass this level, so she simply picked up the bowl and poured the potion down in one gulp. "Haha." Unexpectedly, Concubine Qi drank the potion but burst into laughter, she was laughing at herself, as a mother, she couldn't keep her child. Wang Laohu knew the meaning of her laughter.

"Bang" Concubine Qi threw the bowl to the ground, and the medicine bowl fell to pieces.
