Chapter 647: The Concubine

The palace maid said softly: "It's nearby, Master Hou, come with the slave maid." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" looked left and right, seemed very cautious, and led the way in front, Qi Ning rolled his eyes, but still followed.

Out of a long corridor, there is an arch, Han Xiang is obviously very familiar with the environment in the palace, Qi Ning is walking behind him, the pace is not slow, Han Xiang turned around and urged a few times, through several palace gates, into a courtyard, Qi Ning suddenly stopped, frowned.

Hanxiang turned around and said, "Master Hou, the princess is here." After speaking, he pointed to the front, in front of which was an unusually delicate house, carved beams and painted buildings, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were luxuriant, and a circle of coarse phoenix pines with excellent growth was planted all around, and the night wind blew through, and the pine trees followed.

Qi Ning sighed and said, "Your name is Hanxiang?" ”

Hanxiang suddenly heard Qi Ning's question, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, the slave told Master Hou." ”

"Then I'll treat you as Hanxiang." Qi Ning said: "Do you know what the meaning of the fake princess is, what is the culpability?" ”

Hanxiang frowned and said, "Master Hou, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I mean, the princess is going to summon me, and naturally I have nothing to say." Qi Ning was already on guard: "You said that this is the princess's residence, could it be that the princess lives and there are people in ambush all the time?" ”

"Ambush man?" With incense for a while, he then smiled and said, "Is Master Hou joking?" Where are the people? I didn't expect Hou Ye's courage to be so small. He complained, turned around, twisted his waist and walked over, and when he arrived in front of the house, he didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door and entered, Qi Ning didn't stop him, but said lightly: "Since I'm already here, I don't have to hide my head and tail, just come out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps, and when he looked back, he saw that the circular arch had been stopped by five or six guards armed with spears, and behind those phoenix pines, a group of people appeared, these people were obviously prepared, some were armed with large knives, some were holding spears, and they were wearing fine armor, Qi Ning glanced at it, it was the armor of the palace guards.

This group of guards were like wolves and tigers, and in just an instant, they had already surrounded Qi Ning in the middle.

Qi Ning closed his eyes slightly, his expression was cold, he had some doubts before, why Princess Tianxiang would suddenly summon him, but if it was really the princess who summoned him, he refused to see it, which annoyed the princess, but it was not good for the big thing, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to be so bold and dare to use swords in this deep palace.

Who in the palace has such hatred for himself that he wants to set such a trap for himself? He believes that it is not the monarch of Eastern Qi, even if the monarch of Eastern Qi wants to deal with himself, he must think about the Great Chu Empire behind him, as the king of a country, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be so arrogant.

At this time, I heard a "bang" sound, but I saw a group of people rushing out of the house with dragon carvings and paintings, but it was four or five palace maids who came out surrounded by a beautiful woman in palace clothes, who was nearly thirty years old, but her appearance was extremely charming, and her figure was not deformed because of the passage of time, and she was enchanting and colorful.

"Hanxiang, but this person?" The beautiful woman's phoenix eyes straightened, and she raised her hand and pointed at Qi Ning and scolded coldly.

A person came out from behind the beautiful woman in the palace costume, it was Hanxiang, but she was very different from Fang Cai at the moment, her clothes were messy, and even a few places were torn, the spring light was slightly discharged, and her hair was scattered, at this time, the palace maid had tears on her face, and said heartbrokenly: "Yes, Guifei Niangniang, it's him, slave maid...... The slave swore to death, and was almost killed by him......! ”

Qi Ning instantly understood what kind of trap this was, but he was calm and calm, and said to the beautiful woman in palace costumes: "I've seen the concubine Niangniang." ”

The beautiful woman sneered: "Don't pretend to be here, who are you, why did you break into the forbidden palace with the intention of insulting the palace maid?" ”

Qi Ning glanced around, the big sword and spear were all aimed at him, and said lightly: "Niangniang, do you want to kill me here, or do you want to meet the saint?" He said coldly: "If Niangniang doesn't know who I am, why would she send her palace maids to call me over?" ”

The beautiful woman said sharply: "Full of nonsense, when will this palace summon you?" Who will call you? ”

Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, smiled faintly, and did not speak.

Seeing that Qi Ning was calm, the beautiful woman was even more annoyed, and shouted: "Come on, take down this bold thief." ”

She gave an order, shouted left and right a few times, several guards stabbed straight at Qi Ning with their guns, and saw that the spear was about to be pierced on Qi Ning's body, but saw Qi Ning's figure flash, and he could dodge, his hands reached out, grabbed the spear, and his hands staggered inward, the two soldiers let go of their hands, their bodies moved forward by inertia, and the tip of the spear pointed directly at each other.

Both of them were taken aback, but at this moment there was no momentum, only the sound of "poof" was heard, and the tips of the two spears pierced into each other's bodies at the same time, fortunately, between Qi Ning's mistake, the direction of the tip of the spear was slightly off, although it pierced into the body, but it did not stab the vital point, even so, everyone around was also shrugging and changing color.

But the guards of the Qi Palace are all selected elites, so naturally they will not be timid because of this, and they can hear the shouting again, and there are people on both sides who come forward with swords, and at this time, they hear a voice shouting: "Stop!" ”

This sound was earth-shattering, everyone was stunned, followed the sound, only to see the prince standing at the arch with his hands behind his back, followed by several eunuchs, the deacon eunuch who had led Qi Ning into the palace was also among them, beside the prince, but there was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in brocade clothes, with a delicate appearance, fair skin, a pair of eyes like stars in the night sky, very bright, at this time with wide eyes looking at the scene in front of him.

When the beautiful woman saw the prince, she snorted coldly, but the guards looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.

The prince snorted coldly: "Who is the leader?" ”

I saw a man who looked like a general stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Humble General Huang Sheng, I have seen His Royal Highness, and today I am here for a humble general." ”

"Huang Sheng, you are so bold." The prince said coldly: "This is the envoy of the Chu State, how dare you use a knife and a gun against Jinyihou, how many heads do you have?" ”

Huang Sheng knelt down and said, "The humble general doesn't dare, it's just .......!" Before he could finish speaking, the beautiful woman had already said, "What is the prince doing here?" ”

The prince glanced at Huang Sheng coldly, then stepped forward, passed by Qi Ning's side, nodded, and then bowed his hand to the beautiful woman: "I've seen Chen Guifei!" ”

"The prince wants to know why?" The beautiful woman sneered: "That palace tells you that this envoy of the Chu State, in this forbidden garden of the deep palace, intends to insult Han Xiang, the prince, although Han Xiang is humble, but he is a person around the palace, the envoy of the Chu State is so rude, not only is the face of the palace gloomy, but I am afraid that the entire Qi country will not be able to bear such a shame." ”

The prince frowned, glanced at Hanxiang beside Chen Guifei, only to see Hanxiang disheveled, teary eyes, frowning: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Hanxiang had already knelt down and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid was originally ordered by the mother to go to Gonggong Song to get some cloth back, but I didn't see Gonggong Song, and when I came back, I saw ......!" He glanced at Qi Ning and said heartbrokenly: "I saw this ...... The envoy was suddenly not far from the side, and the slave and maid were afraid of colliding, so they hurried back, but the envoy stopped the slave and maid and said..... said that he was walking in the palace and lost his way, and asked where the slave maid lived in the fairy hall. ”

Qi Ning smiled on his lips, thinking that this Chen Guifei had already planned it, and the person she chose was just right.

The prince said, "What happened later? ”

"The slave did not dare to be rude, so she showed the way." Hanxiang wept and said: "After the slave and maid finished speaking, they wanted to leave, but the envoy of Chu State said to the slave and maid that he was a distinguished guest in the palace, and asked me how old I was, and asked me what my name was, slave and maid..... The slave and maid answered one by one, but ...... But suddenly he asked again......! He lowered his head and sobbed, but he didn't say any more.

Chen Guifei said coldly: "Although you tell the truth, you don't have to be afraid, there is this palace to make decisions for you." ”

Qi Ning saw that this Chen Guifei was not pretentious in front of the prince, she looked confident, frowned slightly, and suddenly thought that Chi Danmei had mentioned to herself that the monarch of Eastern Qi had three sons, and the prince Duan Shao and King Taishan were both born by the queen, but the king of Linzi was a concubine, and now that I think about it, the mother of the king of Linzi seems to be Chen Guifei.

The prince is afraid that the king of Linzi will become his opponent, and the reason is precisely because the monarch of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is very fond of Chen Guifei, and now it seems that it is not for nothing, although this Chen Guifei is not young, but the skin is white and beautiful, with a foxy atmosphere, the body is plump but not fat, and the body is full of the charm of a mature beauty, and it is no wonder that the monarch of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is extremely fond of her.

Knowing that this Chen Guifei was the mother of King Linzi, Qi Ning was suddenly relieved and understood.

The King of Linzi was killed in Xuzhou, Chen Guifei naturally knew about it, and the pain of Chen Guifei's loss of her son was naturally grief-stricken, but the King of Linzi died unexpectedly, and Chen Guifei would of course find the truth.

There is no doubt that the death of the king of Linzi, the fog cover of the clouds and mountains, the versions are different, and the prince will try his best to cover up the truth, but as we all know, the king of Linzi drank the imperial wine sent by the Chu State, and the wine was poisonous, so he was killed on the spot.

Qi Ning knew that this Chen Guifei was very likely to think that the King of Linzi died in the imperial wine of the Chu State, so she had a grudge against herself, the envoy of the Chu State, so she had to design to frame herself, and when she thought of this, she was relieved.

Hanxiang lowered her head and said, "Envoy..... The envoy asked the slave and maid, in the palace..... Is it lonely in the palace? He said...... He said that as long as I wanted, he would say it to His Majesty, and it would be fine..... You can take me back to Chu to enjoy the glory and wealth. He asked me to ...... He told me to follow him into the woods on the edge and ask for .......! At this point, he covered his face and cried bitterly.

Chen Guifei said sharply: "Prince, what happened, you know now, since you are here, tell me how to deal with this matter." Looking at Qi Ning, his beautiful eyes were full of resentment.
