The curtain of the carriage moved, and then a chubby head poked out.

Lu Xiyao couldn't be more familiar with the appearance of this person, because that person was Wu Qi, the niece of the Queen Mother!

For several months, every time Lu Xiyao was invited to the palace to meet the queen concubine, she would always meet this woman who had reported her home at first. Wu Qi was cheeky and said that she was about to become the princess of Yue!

Lu Xiyao didn't want to deal with her at all, and when she met Wu Qi, she always took a detour. Later, she was really annoyed by her, Lu Xiyao couldn't help but say something heavy, and Wu Qi was so angry that she rolled on the spot.

"Put you in front of King Yue, I'm afraid King Yue won't even look at you with a straight eye!"

What made Wu Qi even more annoyed was that none of the attendants and palace maids around her stood on the side of her, the queen mother's niece and the emperor's cousin, and stopped her and prevented her from holding Lu Xiyao to find fault.

Through the twilight, Wu Qi stared at Lu Xiyao, and after a long time, she suddenly let out an "oh" and lifted the curtain.

"Hmph, don't think that if you cover your face, I won't recognize you!" Turning to the soldiers and horses, "She is the Lu Xiyao who often trespasses in the Forbidden City." She had a secret meeting with the demon today, and she was arrested, and she was not taken down! ”

Lu Xiyao? Lu Xi's eldest daughter, the crown princess of Yue?

Not only did the soldiers and horses not come forward, but they also subconsciously retreated slowly, and even Wu Qi's father, the Wu commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Wu Qi opened his mouth wide, and in shock, his jaw was about to fall to the ground.

There was a deathly silence at the scene.

At this moment, Zhu Qiming was lying on the high ground on the south side to observe the movement in the garden. Here is about ten zhang away from the courtyard wall, and the top of the slope is a large section higher than the courtyard wall, where you can be condescending and enjoy the scene in the garden.

The twilight had sunk and it was about to fall into the night, and the soldiers and horses had lit torches one after another.

Yun Niang came back to her senses and bowed to the people in front of her, "We strayed into this garden because we were looking for someone, sorry, don't pass by." After finishing speaking, he beckoned Lu Xiyao and a group of entourages to walk towards the garden gate.

"Stop!"

A low and gentle female voice floated from the carriage behind, but seeing Commander Wu's eyes moved, he knelt on the ground and made a big salute without thinking about it.

"The commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of Chendongcheng will make Wu Xiang knock to see the Queen Mother!"

An attendant lifted the curtain, and the Queen Mother slowly got out of the carriage.

"Knock on the Queen Mother!"

"Get up, excuse me." Surrounded by the inner servants, the Queen Mother slowly walked towards Lu Xiyao and Yun Niang, and stopped about three zhang away from the two.

People have done a big gift, and they still say "no courtesy", is it interesting? Zhu Qiming, who was outside the garden, pursed his lips and muttered in his heart.

The queen mother in the garden stared at Lu Xiyao for a moment, then turned to her brother, and said in a rather gentle tone: "Take them back to search their bodies, if there is no stolen goods from the demons, they will not embarrass them." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Cut! The Terracotta Division is full of rough men, letting rough men search the bodies of boudoir women, and saying "Don't embarrass people", this is not pretending to be virtuous and what is it! Zhu Qiming pouted again.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses were approaching Lu Xiyao, those entourages were stunned, and they didn't even dare to light up their weapons, obviously not wanting to be enemies of the government, Zhu Qiming bowed up, and wanted to get up and run into the garden to save people. Suddenly, a cheer sounded from the bamboo forest.

"Stop!"

The sound must have come from the small building, so the sound was raised very far.

"What a demon stigma! The Queen Mother is really virtuous, is she trying to put this stigma on me? At first, I thought that I had met a great good person and was able to live in a shelter, but I did not expect that I was so stupid that I was deceived and deceived ······"

"Bold demon, don't stop it quickly!" The queen mother immediately interrupted the words of the person upstairs: "I have heard that there are demons here who confuse the world with witchcraft, and even the palace maids of Fu'an Palace have two people who have been deceived here, and their whereabouts are unknown. Do you want the innocent people here to be implicated because of you? ”

Zhu Qiming couldn't help frowning. I think the Queen Mother's words are righteous and strict, and she also has a benevolent heart of caring for the common people, but she only needs to think about the meaning of the last sentence, but she finds that this statement is completely a naked threat!

If they are innocent, why are they still implicated?

He calmly calculated his success in breaking into the willow garden alone, and finally told himself: If you get out, what can you do if you get out!

But seeing the figure on the right flickering, he turned his head to look, and under the faint light of the fire, Xuanji's clean face was reflected there, and a pair of gloomy eyes were looking at him directly.

I always feel as if I've seen Xuanji somewhere a long time ago, and sometimes I want to ask Xuanji, but when I ask, I always give up. At this moment, his mind was not on Xuanji at all, and he immediately made a silent gesture at her.

Seeing the figure flickering again, Ling Xudao Dao Chang flashed to his side quite neatly, and bowed down next to him.

"I can't stand my own people, it's really worry-free!" Daoist Ling Xuan complained in a low voice.

How dare Zhu Qiming speak out? Chong Ling Xudao smiled, and then turned his head to look at the garden.

The upstairs man spoke up again: "Why should the Queen Mother let the anger in her chest reach others? The Queen Mother just rest assured, let the secrets of Liu Yuan turn to ashes with me! ”

With a "peng", a flash of fire flashed in the moon gate, and a moment later, the flames were seen rising.

Zhu Qiming was taken aback, and said to Ling Xu: "I'll go and divert the attention of the people in the garden, and ask Dao Chang to save the person upstairs, don't let her die in vain!" ”

After finishing speaking, he got up, but was grabbed by Ling Xudao.

"Your Highness didn't save Miss Lu first, but he wanted to save irrelevant people first, why is this?"

"Isn't there still Xiao Wang!" Zhu Qiming broke free from Ling Xudao's hand and rushed towards the garden gate.

The queen mother in the garden looked at the small building that was bursting into flames. Wu Qi got out of the carriage, pointed at Lu Xiyao, and said sharply: "Catch her, she is a demon man's subordinate!" ”

At this moment, Zhu Qiming rushed into the garden gate, swung up, and grabbed a person's long knife on the way. The bright long knife swept towards Wu Qi's neck, and there was still a distance of a few feet, so Wu Qi rolled his eyes and staggered to the ground.

Under the gaze of everyone's extremely surprised, Zhu Qiming put the long knife on the queen mother's neck.

"King Yue, you ······ You want to rebel! The Queen Mother forced her composure, but there was still a bit of fear in her eyes.

Zhu Qiming chuckled back a few times. Now doing such an earth-shattering thing, he didn't change his face, his heart didn't panic, and there was a light smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he had been looking forward to the "feat" at this moment for a long time.

"Listen to the people of the Terracotta Division, if you don't want to murder the Queen Mother, then retreat quickly!"

Your Highness, you put the long knife on the Queen Mother's neck, okay? The soldiers and horses didn't want to claim the "good name" that King Yue forcibly gave them, and they were shocked, but they had no time to plead.

Zhu Qiming turned his eyes to Yun Niang, who was stunned, and Lu Xiyao, who was covered and didn't know what his expression was, "You guys leave this garden quickly!" ”

"What about you?" Lu Xiyao's tone was full of melancholy.

Zhu Qiming smiled, "The sky can't fall, I have my own ideas!" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiyao and the others got out of the Willow Garden with the stunned kung fu of the soldiers and horses, he turned his head to look at the small building that was bursting into the sky, thinking that Ling Xudao Chief must have succeeded, but I hope that poor Concubine Liu is safe and sound!

Having said that, if you are in the deep palace, if you don't work hard, no matter who you are, you may die inexplicably at any time. That pity is the price that must be paid for not understanding the calculations of the court.

When he looked at the Queen Mother again, he actually showed an expression of admiration!

Flipping through the knot, Zhu Qiming found that he couldn't hate the Queen Mother at all. As a concubine born as a servant, the woman in front of her turned danger into danger again and again in the unbearable adversity, and finally survived the cruel palace fight, and sent her son to the supreme position, and she herself changed from a very humble servant girl to an extremely noble queen mother.

In the eyes of the world, what a successful woman she is, so successful that it is admirable!

However, until the moment you close your eyes, your life will not come to an end, and you can't lose your enterprising spirit at any time until you close your eyes! When she successfully reached the top, she lost her life goal, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she didn't know how to restrain herself, revealing many flaws. This may not be a great hidden danger for Emperor Jingtai and herself.

Or the "Book of Songs" said well, "There is no beginning, and there is an end". She herself probably didn't realize it yet.

I hope that this long knife and neck can have an unexpected effect!

"The emperor has arrived!"

Stepping on the sound of the full of energy, Emperor Jingtai walked into the willow garden in a hurry. A group of majestic guards rushed in and drove away the soldiers and horses.

The long knife instantly pulled away from the queen mother's neck, and then was thrown into the small pool with a "bang".
