Chapter 26: The Empress and the Duke of the Kingdom are at odds

After reading the letter, Shan Feng agreed to Nangong Yu's arrangement.

Half an hour later, Yuan Hao personally sent Shanfeng into the East Palace and handed it over to the crown prince Qiu Jingchen!

Nangong Yu was handling official business in the study, and these were all excerpts sent by Haoyuan Guo. Among them, there was a secret letter, and Nangong Yu was furious after reading it, "Yuan Lang! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Yuan Lang had been guarding the door, and hurriedly came in when he heard Nangong Yu's voice.

"Xiao Guifei's eldest brother Xiao Zhenliang inspected in southern Yunnan, and the queen sent Lin Sanren to assassinate him, and you immediately brought someone to protect him. Xiao Zhenliang's safe return must be guaranteed! If something happens to Xiao Zhenliang, you will come to see you! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Yuan Lang left in a hurry.

Nangong Yu leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers on the tabletop. I always knew that the queen was insidious and cunning, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. actually used the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. No wonder, she was tricked a few days ago, and Lin Sanren did not appear, but invited Gu Yu to heal. At that time, I felt that this thing was strange, and I thought that the queen and Lin Sanren teamed up to design and frame Gu Yu. Unexpectedly, this Lin Sanren was not in the capital at all, but went to southern Yunnan to deal with Xiao Zhenliang.

If the queen really succeeded in killing Xiao Zhenliang, then Xiao Guifei would definitely be heartbroken, out of proportion, and have no time to take care of the mountain wind. At that time, it will be easy for the queen to deal with the mountain wind. It's a pity that she doesn't know that the mountain wind is no longer in Xiao Guifei's hands!

"Lord Wang, a group of people came to Dali Temple, saying that the Yuanlang guards made a big fuss in Dali Temple yesterday and injured Lin Guogong, and now people have come to arrest people!" A guard has come to report it!

Nangong Yu sneered, these fools in Dali Temple really fell for it!

"Who gave you the courage to dare to go to the king's door to spread wild!" Nangong Yu arrived at the gate of the mansion and saw the waste of Dali Temple, and scolded with disdain!

"Xiaguan Xiao Shen, see Lord Yu!" Xiao Shen is the deputy of Dali Siqing, a person in Xiao Guifei's clan, who is upright and the prince is very important.

Yesterday Yuan Lang went to Dali Temple to make trouble, a group of people pushed Lin Guogong accidentally knocked down, and today Lin Guogong pretended to be sick and did not go to the court. The queen was furious and sent Xiao Shen to Nangong Yu's mansion to arrest Yuan Lang.

This queen is indeed cunning, she knows that Nangong Yu is not easy to mess with, so Lin Guogong pretended to be sick, and she asked the prince's people to come to the door to confront her. This is clearly to provoke the prince and Nangong Yu. Everyone knows that Nangong Yu is short-tempered and murderous, and he is a living king of Hell who cannot be offended. The prince's people came to embarrass Nangong Yu, this is not looking for death, what is it?

"Xiao Shen, tell me what is your reason for coming to this king to make trouble!"

"Yesterday, the prince's guards took people to Dali Temple to make trouble and accidentally injured Lin Guogong. Today, the lower official was ordered by the queen to ask the Yuan guards to go to Dali Temple to help understand the case! ”

Xiao Shen was respectful, he said that he had accidentally injured the national prince, and he was ordered to ask Yuan Lang to help understand the case.

"It's really unfortunate that Yuan Lang has returned to Haoyuan Kingdom. Why don't you go to Dali Temple with you! ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" Xiao Shen hurriedly saluted, he would never dare to take Nangong Yu to Dali Temple. After all, Nangong Yu was not present at this matter!

"In that case, then go back!" Nangong Yu turned around and wanted to leave after speaking!

"Lord Wang, please stay!" Xiao Shen hurriedly shouted.

Nangong Yutou did not reply, leaving only a sentence "Come, Nanli Dali Temple led the guards to besiege the king's mansion, the king was seriously injured and did not wake up, and sent this news back to Haoyuan." ”

"Wang, lord, how can you be so ......" Xiao Shen heard Nangong Yu's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The dignified God of War Prince, I'll just ask, is he still seriously injured and can't wake up? It's also too ...... Black belly!

Nangong Yu has been recuperating from his injuries behind closed doors, and the news that Nangong Yu, the god of war, was seriously injured in Nanli soon spread to various countries, and for a while, several ambitious monarchs stared at Haoyuan Kingdom, wanting to take advantage of Nangong Yu's serious injury to bite off a piece of Haoyuan's "meat".

And the royal family of Haoyuan also blew up, and the emperor was seriously ill that year was Dieyi to continue his life, and now there are five years left before the agreed time. The princes are all ready to move, but they have been suppressed by the power of the emperor's uncle Nangong Yu, and everyone does not dare to act rashly. Well, now Nangong Yu is far away in Nanli Kingdom, and he is seriously injured, a God-given opportunity, not to be missed!

Xiao Shen passed the situation of the day to the prince's hands, and Qiu Jingchen couldn't help laughing when he saw the news. Nangong Yu, you are really an old fox!

When the queen heard the news, she angrily smashed her most beloved vase. This Nangong Yu is really hateful!

"Queen Mother, is it time to end the murder case of this Linglong Pavilion?" Lin Guogong was standing in front of the queen energetically at this time.

"Find a substitute for the dead and close the case. Let's open the doors of Linglong Pavilion! The queen looked angry, and calculated in her heart: "Only by letting him operate normally, can we catch the handle!" ”

"What Niangniang said is reasonable, since Nangong Yu can find someone to perform the ancient dance, does it mean that there is a ...... between him and Concubine Xiao Gui" Lin Guogong wanted to speak and stopped.

"Concubine Xiao?" The queen sneered: "Is there any news from Lin Sanren?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, you can rest assured that Lin Sanren will not make mistakes. In the next few days, there will be news coming! Lin Guogong thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, this mountain wind is still in the hands of Concubine Xiao, should you make a decision early?" ”

When the queen heard this, a sharp look threw her. Lin Guogong immediately lowered his eyebrows, didn't dare to say more, and said secretly in his heart: The queen is becoming more and more eccentric now, and she is unwilling to tell her brother many things. The incident back then has always been like a thorn in the queen's heart. This matter is naturally known in his heart, after all, it was he who broke up the queen and the mountain wind back then. I thought that the mountain wind was dead, but now the queen is above ten thousand people, and after a long time, those old things have been forgotten. But she didn't expect the mountain wind to appear, and the queen's wound was uncovered again, did she remember the past again and start to hate her brother again?

"Weichen is talkative, the queen mother forgives her sins!" Lin Guogong immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness!

"Get up, you and my brother and sister don't have to be like this!" The queen said this, but there was a trace of alienation in her eyes. She wondered in her heart whether this brother was estranged from her because of Lin Yun's 20-year life!

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Lin Guogong saluted, "If there is nothing else, Weichen will retire!" ”

The queen waved her hand and motioned for Lin Guogong to step down!

After Lin Guogong left Qingning Palace, the queen became angry again and knocked over the tea set on the table, and the anger and resentment in her heart became more and more serious. She hated Lin Guogong, if it weren't for him back then, she and Shanfeng would now have a group of children. It's all him, he wants a position of power, so he sent his own sister to the palace......

When the queen remembered the past, her heart became more and more unhappy. She's not happy, and no one else wants to be happy.

"Drive Changle Palace!"

The queen and her entourage came to Changle Palace, and Concubine Xiao Guifei was playing with her beloved green chrysanthemum and pruning flower branches!

"Concubines, see the queen mother!" Xiao Guifei saluted the queen, looked at the juice stained in her hands and said, "The concubine doesn't know that the queen is coming, the concubine is rude!" ”

"Concubine, just leave the rough work of pruning flowers and branches to the next hand, you should be dignified as a concubine, why do you still serve the flowers and plants yourself!" The queen was angry in her heart, and she came to find fault on purpose!

As soon as Concubine Xiao Guifei heard the queen's words, she knew that the queen was here to trouble her, and she knew what she was doing when she thought about it. Therefore, she was not angry, but replied respectfully, "The concubine knows that she is wrong, and she must pay attention next time." ”

After speaking, he motioned to the minions on the side to clean up the place. Then, he sat down to the queen's head and said, "Niangniang came over today, but is there something?" ”

"Concubine, the palace was unwell a few days ago, but you endured the pain and gave the embroidery of the phoenix wearing a peony to the palace. This is naturally grateful in the heart of this palace. This is the heart of Hongu! After the queen finished speaking, Qiu Xi beside her immediately took a box and sent it to the concubine's maid.

"The queen is polite, the concubine can share the queen's worries, it is the concubine's business." Concubine Xiao knew in her heart that the queen must have something to do.

Sure enough, the queen glanced at Qiu Xi, and Qiu Xi took all the maids around Xiao Guifei and retreated!

"Concubine Xiao, this palace doesn't like the circle, how do you hand him over to me!"

"Queen Mother, who are you talking about? The concubine didn't understand. Xiao Guifei pretended to be at a loss.

"Okay, you can just open the conditions." The queen was angry when she saw her like this.

"Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't understand."

"You ......"

The queen slapped the table, pointed at Xiao Guifei angrily and said, "Don't pretend in front of this palace." The birthday of the Japanese palace, the ancient dance you offered, where is that dancer now? ”

"So the queen mother is talking about the dancer?" Xiao Guifei seemed to suddenly wake up, and then said with a look of regret, "Niangniang, that is the priest of the ancient dance, and he left the palace after dancing that day!" How? Does the mother still want to see the ancient dance? ”

"Concubine Xiao, the Ming people don't say secret words, since this palace has already put down his body to talk to you. It's good that you just prescribe the conditions you want, so why bother pretending in front of this palace? The queen hated Xiao Guifei's pretentious face to the extreme.

"Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't understand what you mean? The concubine went to great lengths to find the inheritor of the ancient dance, in order to give you a birthday. Where are the conditions? Furthermore, when the feast was over, the priest departed. Now I don't know where I am, and the concubines don't know! ”

It is impossible for Xiao Guifei to admit that Shanfeng is in her hands, because Shanfeng was taken away. Concubine Xiao was very depressed about this. But he was helpless, and he was also angry and had nowhere to vent. As a result, the queen also came to the door to find bad luck.

"Concubine Xiao, are you determined to go against this palace?" The queen was completely angry, and she showed favor like this. She still dares to hold it, it's just looking for death!

"The queen mother, the concubine said the truth. Isn't the queen coming here today just to find a concubine? If this is the case, the queen does not have to press the concubines anymore. The concubine really didn't know about this. The priest left the palace after the dance, and the guards at the palace gate can testify. The queen thought it was the concubine who detained this person? The concubine is in this deep palace all day long, how can she have the ability to control a priest? Concubine Xiao Guifei turned and said, "Queen Mother, you are in such a hurry, could it be that you and the priest are ......."

"Concubine Xiao, you're just going too far."

"The queen forgives her sins!" Concubine Xiao immediately knelt on the ground, "Niangniang, you can go and inquire about the whereabouts of the priest after leaving the palace that night, and you will know that the concubine is not lying." ”

The queen was so smart, when she heard Concubine Xiao's words, she instantly understood what she meant. It seems that Shanfeng is really not in the hands of the concubine at this time. The queen left Changle Palace very angrily.

"Qiuxi sent someone to inquire, what is going on? And what happened after the feast? ”

"Yes!" Qiu Xi promised, "Niangniang, the slave maid feels that Concubine Xiao Guifei must have nothing to do with this matter." Even if the priest was not in her hands now, she must have known. ”

"This palace knows that Xiao Guifei will not get rid of this palace for a day. Guogong is becoming more and more unreliable, and Xiao Zhenliang has not been eliminated until now! ”

"Niangniang, don't you worry, haven't Lin Sanren already gone? With him, it will be done! Qiu Xi said with relief.

The queen always felt unsteady in her heart, and her heart was always depressed, as if there were thousands of pounds of stones blocking there, which made her breathless.

At night, there was an exclamation from Qingning Palace and the queen's bedroom!

"Queen, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Xi hurriedly lifted the curtain of the queen's bed, "Niangniang, but you are in a nightmare?" ”

"Autumn joy, autumn joy!" The queen grabbed Qiuxi's hand hard, "Bengong, Bengong saw her, she came to ask Bengong for her life!" ”

"Who? Mother, you must be having a nightmare! Qiu Xi patted the queen mother's back and comforted, "It's okay Niangniang, I've woken up, it's okay!" ”

"Wen Yu!" The queen pointed to the position of the window, "Bengong didn't dream, Bengong really saw Wen Yu, she was covered in blood, and her flesh and blood were almost all cut off, leaving only a skeleton shelf with scattered flesh and blood...... But she has an intact face, and she has come to ask for her life! ”

"Mother, Queen Mother!" Qiu Xi stopped the queen mother who wanted to rush to the window, "You must have read it wrong, the slave maid has been guarding the door just now, and there is nothing there!" ”

The queen was angry, pushed Qiu Xi away, and shouted angrily, "This palace doesn't believe it, Wen Yu has already been executed by Ling Chi, and she has already died." Her soul was sold to a wizard by Lin Wan, and she could never have a ghost! Someone must be trying to harm Hongu! ”

The queen rushed to the window like crazy, and there was really nothing there!

"How so?" The queen decided that there was someone here just now, and someone must have pretended to be a ghost to scare herself, so she rushed out of the hall.

The entire Qingning Palace looked very solemn in the night, and the night was as dark as ink. There were no stars, no moonlight, and there was silence all around.

The queen walked barefoot in the palace with her hair and hair scattered, dressed in bedclothes. This scene made Qiu Xi feel eerie and terrifying......

The queen was like this for several days, and Qiu Xi realized that the problem was very serious, and she felt that the queen must be sick. Otherwise, why do you keep saying that Wen Yu is here to ask for your life? Subsequently, he retorted that Wen Yu's soul was scattered, and it was impossible to ask for his life! She is so self-contradictory, and the whole person is much haggard.

On this day, Qiu Xi took advantage of the queen's nap and came out of the palace to the embroidery workshop. It turned out that the door of the embroidery workshop was closed, and she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. In desperation, I had to go back to Qingning Palace!

"Qiuxi, where have you been?" The queen had woken up from a nap and was looking at Qiu Xi with an indifferent face.

"Niangniang, the slave maid went to the embroidery workshop and wanted to go to the ancient girl to get some soothing incense. However, she was not there, and the fallen leaves in front of the embroidery workshop were heavy, and she didn't seem to have returned to the embroidery workshop for a few days! Qiu Xi told the truth, she felt a little strange in her heart.

"What are you looking for her? That girl is a sorcerer, with an arrogant attitude, relying on saving the palace, waiting for the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth, and took Lin Yun's twenty-year yang life. Bengu has always felt strange, she said that Bengong lost her soul and a soul, so who do you say killed Bengu? The queen felt that her head was a little heavy, and she said with one hand on her head.

"Niangniang, you haven't been sleeping well for the past few days, the slave just wants to ask the ancient girl to come and take a look for you, maybe she can find out who is behind it?"

"What does she know about a yellow-haired girl?" The queen knew that Gu Yu had saved her, but she didn't know why she just didn't like Gu Yu, and she didn't like it at first sight.

"Don't you think it's strange, mother? She is not in the embroidery workshop, where did she go? Qiu Xi always felt that something was wrong with this.

"What the hell is she doing? Don't bother. Dress up for the main palace. ”

"Yes!" Qiu Xi agreed.

At this time, Nangong Yu's mansion. Lime is serving Gu Yu to drink medicine.

Nangong Yu came in and said, "The queen's personal maid Qiuxi, I went to the embroidery workshop to find you today." ”

As soon as Gu Yu heard this, he knew in his heart that when he was treating the queen, he moved his hands and feet, causing the queen to hallucinate and hallucinate. Qiu Xi came to the door, it must be because the queen had a physical problem.

"Oh? What did she do with me? Nothing good for sure. Gu Yu said deliberately.

"Did you do anything to the Queen?" Nangong Yu sat on the side of Gu Yu's bed, took the medicine bowl in Lime's hand, and personally fed Gu Yu with medicine.

Gu Yu was already accustomed to Nangong Yu's style at this time, and in the past few days when she was recuperating in the mansion, Nangong Yu had been holding back her temper and patiently pleasing Gu Yu. Although Gu Yu didn't know what the conspiracy was, seeing that the prince who was on the battlefield was so "gentle and considerate", Gu Yu's heart was still very relieved.

Gu Yu took Nangong Yu's hand and took a sip of medicine, "What do you mean by this?" She's the queen, what can I do to her? Besides, I'm the way I am now, I can't even get out of bed. I want to do something to her, so I have to get out of bed!"

"This king checked the carriage that hit you that day."

"Who is it?"

"The carriage was empty, but the king had all the shops in the city searched. The carriage had just been bought in the morning. According to the coachman who sold the carriage, it was a man who bought it, but strangely enough, the man had a shrill voice and white skin. It is very likely to be a eunuch in the palace! ”

"Is it the Queen?" Gu Yu frowned and said, "I treated the queen that day, and after she woke up, I took Yi Zhi to the Guogong Mansion to collect Lin Yun's Shouyuan, and then followed Yuan Lang to you, and was hit by a carriage at the intersection." It was only half a day, and the queen didn't attack me so quickly. ”

"There are so many masters in the palace, there are others besides the queen!" Nangong Yu reminded.

"No way, I don't have contact with other mothers. In total, I met Concubine Xiao and the queen. Concubine Xiao has a close relationship with my master, and she has no reason to harm me. Therefore, if this person is in the palace, it must be the queen. It's just that this time, ......" Gu Yu stopped halfway through speaking, she half leaned on the pillow and thought.

"It's definitely not the queen this time, and the person who wants to kill you is very cunning." Nangong Yu suddenly smiled at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu almost choked on a mouthful of medicine and coughed a few times, she saw Nangong Yu's smile, and she didn't know why she had goosebumps all over her body, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"This king has thought of a way to protect you."

"Stop, don't say it, what comes out of your mouth is definitely not good. You must have some kind of machination! Gu Yu glanced at him.

"This king is such an unbearable person in your heart?" Nangong Yu's face sank.

"That's really it!" Gu Yu sneered.

"Gu Yu, don't go too far. Think for yourself how these kings of Japan treat you? "Nangong Yu is furious, what kind of bad idea did that guy Cangyun come up with? actually let herself subdue Gu Yu, this girl doesn't know how to lift, it's better to subdue her and kill her directly!

"It's just because of your sudden change of attitude towards me that I suspect your bad intentions even more." Gu Yu didn't back down at all, she always felt that her life could be lost, but she couldn't lose this momentum.

"This king saw that you are a weak woman, alone in the capital, offended the queen, and may lose your life at any time. This king felt compassion for a while, so he left you in the house to recuperate. But I didn't expect you little wild cat...... Oh no, you're not a wildcat, you're a white-eyed wolf! Nangong Yu scolded hatefully.

Gu Yu listened to Nangong Yu's words, and was very disdainful in his heart: The notorious prince will suddenly change his sex? It's weird if there's no ghost in this!

"Then the prince should send me back to the embroidery workshop quickly, so that I don't get in the way of your eyes here!"

"Why did this king send you? You are a bad attitude and vicious Diao Min, and you deserve to let this king send you away? ”

"Nangong Yu!" The ancient rain is called by its name!

"You woman is so bold that you think this king won't dare to kill you?" Nangong Yu threw the medicine bowl in his hand to the ground and glared at Gu Yu.

"Kill if you want to, don't scare me here every time!" Gu Yu stiffened his head and stared at Nangong Yu's lilac eyes, but for some reason he saw his good-looking face, and accidentally swallowed his saliva.

Nangong Yu suddenly approached Gu Yu and sneered, "You were swallowing saliva just now?" Do you think this king is very good-looking? ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he felt embarrassed to be poked in his heart.

Nangong Yu saw Gu Yu's blushing face, and suddenly thought of a plan in his mind: since this woman covets the beauty of this king, this king might as well take her as a concubine. Thinking of this, a gentle smirk appeared on Nangong Yu's face.

Gu Yu saw his weird smile, and his heart was shocked, what trick did he think of? I can't stay here anymore, I have to find a way to leave. Run tonight......
