Chapter 4: The Heart of a Poisonous Woman

Zhao Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the woman in a low voice, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

The red-makeup woman was trembling all over, her eyebrows were raised, and she scolded in a coquettish voice: "What a bold thief and rebel." You ......"

Xiang Chonghua said coldly to the woman: "Who are you, who sent you?" ”

The woman in red makeup clenched her teeth tightly and suddenly grabbed a sharp golden hairpin. Xiang Chonghua's heavy sword was not easy to use in the carriage, so he had to reach out and grab the golden hairpin in her hand. The woman exclaimed, scuffled with him, and only heard a "snort", and the shirt on the shoulders of the red-makeup beauty was torn off a piece, revealing a snow-white back and plump breasts. Xiang Chonghua was so frightened that he almost forgot to breathe. I only heard the red-makeup woman gasp and say, "You can kill but not be humiliated." With a stab of his hand, the golden hairpin sank deep into his chest, leaving only the tail of the hairpin inlaid with rubies. Xiang Chonghua came back to his senses at this time, hugged her body and took a look, her heart had been completely pierced, and she had no skills to return to heaven. A sneer hung on the woman's lips, and she said weakly, "I swallowed the poison when I heard you do it. The first thing we Yugong beauties have to learn is how to cut ourselves off in the shortest possible time to keep our innocence, and I won't let you get your wish even if I die. ”

Xiang Chonghua's tiger body was shocked, his eyes widened and said: "You, didn't you send it from Xiguo, and my father wants a new Mei Meiren?" You, who gave you your poison? A flash of inspiration flashed in the woman's mind, and she understood everything in an instant, but she could only spit out a few words from between her teeth, and said, "Xi, Xi Lihua, you, you are so ruthless......"

Xiang Chonghua was surprised: "You, what did you say, what does this mean?" The woman's whole body suddenly spasmed, but she could no longer say a word, and her hands that were clutching in the air slowly fell, and she did not bat a glance. Xiang Chonghua snatched the box from her arms like crazy, and when he opened it, it turned out to be half a tiger talisman inside.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the valley, and thousands of cavalrymen gradually poured out of the valley with their blades in their arms. The general who took the lead drew his long sword with a solemn face and sneered: "What else does the prince have to say?" ”

Xiang Chonghua gritted his teeth, took out the half of the tiger talisman and the half of the tiger talisman that Mei Meiren gave him, and said loudly: "I have a tiger talisman here, you still don't retreat!" ”

The general said loudly: "Xiang Chonghua tried to steal the tiger talisman, bullied the beauty, and rebelled, and the people and gods were angry!" When they were detained and returned to China, they were all at the mercy of the king, and the rest of the accomplices were killed. With a wave of his hand, arrows flew out like locusts. The sword shadow and sword light flew by, and the head of a person had fallen on the loess.

The loess is like a bottle, and the blood is like wine.

Xi Lihua looked at the red liquor in Jinzun, and the corners of her mouth were more intoxicating than fine wine as usual. The wine bottle is carved from a single piece of topaz, and the pattern around the body is inlaid with blood-red gemstones and dazzling gold wires, lining the wine syrup as bright red as blood. Wine bottles are worth a thousand dollars, but fine wine is even rarer. But at this time, the jade liquid elixir that was hard to buy was all sprinkled on the red carpet at her feet. Immediately after, her body also fell into the red liquor, and her eyes, which were smiling a moment ago, were also full of tears. Since she was a child, she rarely cried, because she knew that the value of a woman is to make men happy, a woman who loves to laugh will not suffer too much even if she is not beautiful, and a stunning beauty who is always frowning and crying can often only be blushing. But at this time, she cried more miserably than ever, because she knew better that there was nothing that an emperor hated more than being betrayed by his own son, and that other women could not be allowed to gloat.

Her tears were dripping down her luxurious clothes and carpets, but she was almost out of breath with laughter in her heart. She was satisfied, even admired, that she could come up with such a good idea. Telling Xiang Chonghua about the date of the march of the escort beauty and the tiger talisman as an escort is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

She looked at King Yong's aging and flabby face, and sighed in her heart. King Yong's love had long since died completely with that woman, and his favor was nothing but empathetic to the Israeli-Woman beauty. Therefore, she absolutely cannot tolerate any woman who poses a threat to her. Bi Ruo said, the plum beauty who is also from the country of Xi and is as beautiful as plum blossoms. A young woman is always good, and that woman is not old when she dies. She knew that he would fill his thoughts of her with countless young lives. Although his son is favored on the surface, he can't live up to the rules of establishing a long heir. Although Xiang Chonghua's mother was only a lady, he was accepted as a righteous son by the queen before he was born, which she could not compare, unless she could ascend to the throne and replace the unfavored queen who died early. But her intellect told it was absolutely impossible. Therefore, Xiang Chonghua can only die.

Xi Lihua barely supported Yuan Na's body, and pleaded in front of King Yong: "Something must have gone wrong in this matter, although Prince Hua is a little playful, he is still a very filial child, he will definitely not rebel." ”

The golden bottle in King Yongwu's hand had been crumpled into a ball, and he sneered: "Filial piety? Have you ever heard of a filial child who forgets his father's birthday, and a filial child who does not go to his father for months in a row, and when they meet, they either ask for things or ask for trouble? He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "For the sake of Yiyi's face, the widow has given in again and again, and has accommodated again and again, but what has he gotten in exchange?" This rebel actually started the idea of a tiger talisman and wanted to rebel! Is he satisfied if the widow gives up the throne? ”

Xi Lihua begged: "Maybe, maybe it's just a misunderstanding?" Maybe the prince just thought that what he was carrying in the car was just a strange thing, and the prince had always been playful. ”

King Yong pointed to Yang Ke, who was kneeling down, and said: "This guard was personally chosen for him by the widow, and he has been by his side since he was a child, so he will never frame that rebel, right?" He closed his eyes and sighed: "Tell Madam and all the important ministers, what has your good master been doing these days?" ”

Yang Kedao: "In the past few days, the master seems to be very concerned about General Li Ben, and he has asked people to inquire about it again and again. Yesterday, I specially sent people to Peach Creek Valley. Oh yes. The prince seemed to be very close to one of the palace guards, but no one knew what they were talking about. A few days ago, when the guard came to visit the prince, he brought a small brocade box. ”

King Yong sneered: "Is the guard taller, has a scar on his left eye, and makes good use of his left hand?" ”

Yang Ke was surprised: "Your Majesty is really like a god. I seem to have heard the prince tell him to do it..."

Xi Lihua exclaimed: "Could it be Liu Feng? ”

Yang Ke was even more surprised: "That's the name." Why can't even the lady ......?"

Xi Lihua gritted her teeth and said, "He is the guard in charge of guarding the Tiger Talisman. Yesterday he died violently, and the half of the tiger talisman is gone. ”

King Yong sneered: "That half of the tiger talisman is naturally in the hands of the rebel, and he even has the face to show the tiger talisman to the general sent by the widow!" ”

Xi Lihua looked back at King Yong and said: "The concubine thinks that the prince stole the Tiger Talisman Bacheng in order to rob Xi Ya, please read it for the sake of his infatuation......"

King Yong smiled: "What a rebel, not only dare to collude with internal thieves, but also learn to extinguish his mouth." It's good, it's great. For the sake of a woman, a woman who is already about to marry a woman wants to usurp the throne and kill the king! After finishing speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the people in the palace exclaimed, Xi Lihua was the first to pounce, beating her back and stroking her chest, and tears sprinkled on King Yong's chest like pearls.

King Yong's breathing gradually subsided, and he grabbed her hand with pity, and said, "It's still good to you, gentle and hurtful." Only you are genuinely good to me. ”

Xi Lihua said softly: "The concubine is just one of the thousands of people who love Your Majesty. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled at Xiang Chongyi, who was being held by the nurse on the side, and said, "If you want to say that it will hurt people, I might as well be our recollection." ”

Xiang Chongyi had already knelt beside him obediently, holding a small box of pills in his chubby little hand, and said milkily: "My son asks my father to take the medicine." May the Father be as the moon and the sun as the sun. Such as the longevity of Nanshan, it does not collapse. Such as the pine and cypress of the luxuriant, there is no lack or inheritance. ”

King Yong's face finally had a gentle smile, and he touched Xi Lihua with his elbow and said, "The little baby is delicate, but she can't kneel for a long time." Hurry up and bring our memories up! ”

Xi Lihua hurriedly dragged the long skirt like a peacock's tail and gently hugged Xiang Chongyi to King Yong's side. Xiang recalls seeing his mother kneeling, and honestly bows down. King Yong hugged him with a smile and said, "With the blessing of our Yi'er, my father will definitely live a long life." The father also wants to watch Yi'er become a marquis, and watch Yi'er go to the fiefdom to make contributions, marry a wife and have children. ”

Xi Lihua's face changed slightly, but she immediately regained her calm, and bowed her head and said, "The concubine still has something to ask the king for." ”

King Yong said with a pleasant face: "Since you entered the palace, you have been walking on the abyss, like a thin ice, and you will not make the slightest mistake." But the widow wants to see what sin you have committed. ”

Xi Lihua took off all the golden hairpin earrings that were full of buns, and kowtowed: "The concubine is worried that the beauty of Xiguo Yugong will be defiled by thieves, so she specially gave her a poison pill, asking her to take medicine and commit suicide as soon as something happens, so as to protect her innocence." Mei Meiren's death, the concubine is also half of the fault, please Your Majesty to punish it. ”

Xiang Chongyi gently shook his sleeve in King Yong's arms, and said, "Father, don't punish mother, don't punish mother." Yi'er must be obedient and share the worries of her father and mother in the future. Ask your father to spare your mother. ”

King Yong sighed and said softly: "You are also for the good of the widow, how can the widow blame you?" Hurry up. After a pause, he said, "This can be regarded as a warning." In the future, they will not have to offer beauties anymore. The widow is already very content to be accompanied by Mrs. Li. ”

Xi Lihua kowtowed, "Your Majesty...... How can a concubine be worthy, and how can she be worthy of such a blessing...... Your Majesty should take some beauties, the concubine is already, and she is no longer young. ”

King Yong gently helped her up and said, "Marry a wife and marry virtue." What's more, what girl can be as beautiful and empathetic as the widowed Mrs. Li? ”

Xi Lihua couldn't cry anymore. Her purpose has been largely achieved. As for the position of the prince, there is no hurry. After all, King Yong only had two sons, one of whom was still ......

Xi Lihua clenched her fists, and the begonias in her palms were kneaded into a pool of blood red, which was shocking. Li Ben walked across the arched bridge opposite, wearing a pale cyan robe with a white jade belt tied to it. Although he is middle-aged, he is still strong, handsome as a young man, and the faint elegance exuded by his body complements the heroic spirit of the general, which is even more charming. Xi Lihua immediately regained her brilliance. In front of men, she always maintains the best and most beautiful posture, even if the other party is just a courtier, a slave or even a eunuch.

Xi Lihua smiled and said coquettishly: "General Li is good." His eyes swept up and down: "The general seems to like this belt very much, and he has never left it." The concubine remembered that she once gave the general a belt inlaid with gold wire and red jade, but I haven't seen you bring it once. ”

Li Ben said with a smile: "Madame's gifts have always been cherished and cherished, just because a warlock said that the ministers killed too much, in order to prevent being haunted by unjust spirits, so they cast a spell on this belt, so that the ministers will never leave their bodies." ”

Xi Lihua pursed her lips and smiled: "The concubine remembers that this belt was specially made by Mrs. Xi Yiyi in order to reward the heroes who put down the Jiacheng Rebellion. This warlock really has a vision. ”

Li Ben kicked away a stone under his feet and said with a smile: "Madame is really good at laughing." In terms of vision, who can compare to Madame? After a pause, he whispered: "That Yang Ke really lives up to expectations, it's better to let him follow the minister to have a good experience, maybe ......"

Xi Lihua said lightly: "The concubine thinks he is a big disappointment. Wan Er smiled and said, "It's a pity for Xiaotan." rushed to the general's only beautiful concubine who was poisoned by him, and he Yang Ke should not live in the world. ”

Li Ben looked at her burning smile, a chill ran down his spine, and he arched his hand: "Everything is arranged by Madame." If there is news of Chonghua, the minister will definitely follow the power of dogs and horses. ”

Xi Lihua smiled and took off a piece of jade pendant from her waist, hung it on his belt with her own hands, and said softly: "How can you bother the general with such a trivial matter as capturing Xiang Chonghua?" If the general has time, please give me more guidance on Yi'er's swordsmanship. The slender hand patted his waist lightly, and whispered: "Lihua will welcome him at any time." He turned around and tightened the loose collar that was somewhat open, and walked gracefully into the wind.
