Concubine Zhang was beaten and cried all over the place, but no one dared to step forward to stop it, Liu Guifei was probably angry because she was frightened, and she never let Xiaoxiang and the others stop.

After a long time, even Xiaoxiang and the others were tired, so Liu Guifei waved her hand and ordered: "Is this slut dead?" ”

Xiaoxiang looked at Concubine Zhang, who was covered in bruises, gasped and replied, "I'm still alive!" ”

"Dead slut's life is quite hard!" Liu Guifei sighed and said lazily: "The palace is tired, go!" Back to Huilan Palace! ”

"Niangniang, what should I do with this concubine?" Xiaoxiang asked.

Liu Guifei glanced back at Concubine Zhang who was lying on the ground, and said casually: "Let her go, and clean her up another day!" Wouldn't it be too cheap to kill her today? ”

"Yes......"

Concubine Liu Guifei left with the support of the maids, leaving Concubine Zhang who was dying, until the people of Huilan Palace walked away, a few palace maids stepped forward, helped Concubine Zhang up, and sent her back.

Just as Liu Guifei was passing by a corridor, several maidservants were wiping the floor tiles while muttering about things.

"Have you heard? Lord Liu is dead! ”

"Which Lord Liu?"

"Which other Lord Liu? It's Liu Yuanzhi from the household! ”

"Huh? Isn't Lord Liu still young? How could he die? ”

"I heard that he was sent to Hexi, and on the way back, he was shot dead by the Xianbei and Huns with arrows!"

"Oh my God! How so? ”

"Who knows? It's all fate......"

"I've heard about it too! That Lord Liu is still the elder brother of the noble concubine, and His Majesty still hides from the mother and doesn't dare to tell her! ”

"That's right, Your Majesty doesn't allow anyone to tell Niangniang!"

"Alright, alright! Don't talk about it! Do your thing! Don't get yourself in trouble! An older maid scolds the chirping maids while twisting the rag.

At this moment, Concubine Liu's voice suddenly came from behind them: "What did you just say?" Who died? ”

The handmaidens were almost frightened by Liu Guifei's sudden voice, and they suddenly became a mess, kneeling on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads.

"Hongu asks you! Who died! Liu Guifei asked almost tremblingly.

The maidservants still did not dare to speak, and fell to their knees tremblingly.

"Mother asks you! All deaf! Xiao Xiang scolded: "Tell it clearly! ”

"Mother...... Mother......

"Ask you! Say it! Xiao Xiang stepped forward and kicked the servant girl.

"Slaves and maids are also heard......"

"What did you say!" Xiaoxiang watched Liu Guifei's breathing begin to be heavy, and scolded: "Don't say anything, chop you up and feed the dogs!" ”

"The slaves and maidservants heard...... I heard that Niangniang's brother ...... Lord Liu...... Dead ......"

When Xiaoxiang heard this, she knew that something was not good, so she went up and slapped her twice, and scolded in her mouth: "Call you nonsense!" Call you nonsense! ”

The servant girl was beaten and screamed again and again, screaming for help, and the others also kowtowed and said: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!" ”

"!" The maidservants who were originally supporting Concubine Liu suddenly shouted.

Xiaoxiang looked back and saw that Liu Guifei had already rolled her eyes, her legs and feet were weak, and she was paralyzed.

"Quick! Help the mother to return to the palace! Xiao Xiang let go of the beaten maid and commanded the little eunuchs.

Everyone lifted Liu Guifei up, and the maids who were kneeling on the ground didn't dare to move, and their faces were almost on the ground.

Xiao Xiang turned her head and glared at them, and scolded: "If Niangniang has a good one, you can't eat and walk around!" ”

Hearing this, the maidservants trembled all over their bodies and did not dare to respond.

Xiao Xiang snorted coldly, turned around and left, but suddenly dizzy, followed by a wave of nausea and chest tightness. She hurriedly held on to the railing next to her, her hands on her chest, and she almost retched.

This sudden reaction made Xiaoxiang a little flustered, she hurriedly turned around and looked at the maids kneeling on the ground, no one seemed to see her strangeness, so she adjusted her breathing and immediately left with the railing.

Back in Huilan Palace, Concubine Liu Guifei had been carried and lying on the bed, and the maidservants and eunuchs were at a loss, so Xiaoxiang asked, "Where is Imperial Doctor Zhang!" Go and call Dr. Zhang! ”

"I've already sent someone to pass it on!" A servant girl whispered back.

Xiaoxiang pondered for a moment, and said to the maidservant, "Go! You go to Hongguang Pavilion and tell Your Majesty quickly! Let's just say that the mother fainted! ”

"Yes......"

Looking at Liu Guifei lying on the bed, her face was pale, her pregnant belly was slightly bulging, Xiaoxiang subconsciously touched her belly, and her heart began to feel a little panicked and uneasy.

In the Hongguang Pavilion, the members of the six departments, the prime minister is noble, and the father and son of King Shi Zun and Shi Zhan are all there.

"Murong Hao, this bastard, just sent his two sons over to claim his ministers at the beginning of the year, and before he was a year old, he wanted to make trouble on the border of Yan and Zhao again!" Shi Hu slapped the table and scolded.

"If Murong Hao's two sons hadn't been allowed to run away at the beginning, now they Xianbei people would definitely not have the courage to provoke." That Wu Shilang glanced at Shi Zun and said.

"Wu Shilang, don't say these afterwords now! How to deal with the current situation is the key! You Jian retorted.

"You Jian is right! The Huns and Xianbei people have bad intentions, how do you think they should deal with it? ”

Shi Zun said: "Father, the son of the minister believes that the Xiongnu is a big disaster, must not be guarded, Yanmen Pass is now guarded by Shi Yong, but the troops seem to be insufficient, should be transferred from Taiyuan, reinforcement Yanmen Pass, hold should not be a problem." And Xianbei is weaker than the Xiongnu, if they dare to invade the land of Youzhou, we will send troops to attack. ”

"Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate!" Shi Zhan said.

"What's wrong?" Shi Hu asked.

"Historically, the war has been about surprise, and now the Huns and Xianbei people have troops and horses to mobilize and station, but they have not launched an attack, what does it mean? This means that they want to consume Zhao Guo's fighting spirit and test our reality and reality. Therefore, if the Xianbei people come, we must not go out of the city to meet the battle, but can only defend the city. ”

"Defend the city? Isn't that the work of a coward? The Xianbei people are stationed outside the fortress, and the grain and grass must be seriously consumed, so why not take the initiative to attack? ”

"There are no unscrupulous generals in Youzhou, but Xianbei, Murong Jun, who is wise and resourceful, and Murong Ke, who is brave and martial, go out of the city to fight? How sure is King Qing? It's okay to win, but what about losing? Not to mention the loss of Youzhou, the northeast side of Zhao State has been open since then, Xianbei Iron Cavalry can come if you want, and leave if you want, how can Zhao Kingdom be peaceful? ”

"This king may not be able to, the fifth emperor brother is the first good general of Zhao State, let you go, there should be no problem, right?" Shi Zun deliberately provoked Shi Zhan.

Shi Zhan sneered and said: "Bing Shuyun, if you don't know the harm of using soldiers, you can't know the benefits of using soldiers." King Qing, you have led troops for many years, don't you know this truth? Zhao Guo is now the time to recuperate, why fight for the length of the moment? ”

"Everyone has hit our doorstep, are they still hiding at home as a turtle with a shrunken head? Fifth Emperor Brother, your thoughts, this king doesn't understand it very much! ”

Shi Min on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and sneered: "His Royal Highness King Qing, hiding at home is not because I am afraid, but because I have to sharpen my knife at home, and the knife in my hand is sharp enough to kill the offender." Could it be that His Royal Highness fights and fights with his shirtless and hungry stomachs? No wonder when he fought with the Huns at the beginning of the year, Li Cheng's 40,000 soldiers and horses were beaten so badly, it turned out that this was the reason! ”

Shi Zun was originally a high-minded and arrogant person, and when he was poked by Shi Min in this sore spot, he was naturally annoyed and angry, but he didn't have a good attack in front of Shi Hu, and said with a straight face: "Xiao Min, adults speak, children don't intervene, is this the rule in Xihuahou Mansion?" ”

Shi Min sneered: "In front of Your Majesty, there are no fathers and sons, only monarchs and ministers, since Your Majesty has summoned me to the palace to discuss matters, how can I be different from His Royal Highness?" ”

Shi Zun was choked by Shi Min's words and had nowhere to get angry, so he could only say to Shi Hu: "Father, when did you fight in the Quartet, when did we Qian people do such cowardly things?" Xianbei is just a clown jumping off the beam, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible! ”

Shi Hu looked at Shi Zun and Shi Zhan's father and son, stroked his beard, and thought thoughtfully, but he didn't give any reaction for a long time.
