Chapter I

I cried for a long time, until Pei Zhao came over, and he called softly: "Prince."

Imperial concubine. Then he said, "The last general's men said, and when they arrived, they saw only Ah."

The girl passed out there, and there was no sign of the assassin, so she had to take Aunt Du

Mother sent back first. Now that the nine gates are closed, Shangjing has been under martial law, and the assassins cannot leave the city.

The Imperial Forest Army is closing the city and searching it, please rest assured that the Assassins will never be able to escape. ”

I looked at what Adusai had given me, and it was very strange, like a piece of wood

The head, with a strange pattern carved on it, I don't recognize what it is.

I handed it to Pei Zhao: "This is from Adu, maybe it has something to do with the assassins."

System. ”

Pei Zhao suddenly gasped, he must know this thing. I asked:

"What is this?"

Pei Zhao took a step back, returned the piece of wood to me, and said, "The stakes are very high, please present the crown princess to His Majesty." ”

I also feel that I should give this to the emperor, after all, he is the son of heaven and my husband

's father is the most powerful emperor in the world. Someone is going to kill his son, he wants to kill

Adu, he should track down the murderer for us.

I wiped away my tears and asked the palace lady next to me to report that I wanted to see His Majesty the Emperor.

The Emperor and Empress were still in their bedchambers, and the Emperor quickly agreed to summon me, and I entered

Go and salute him: "Father." ”

I rarely see His Majesty the Emperor, and every time I see him, he is always far away from the throne

It's the first time I've been so close. I found out that he was actually as old as my daddy, two

Sideburns have gray hair.

He was very kind to me and called left and right: "Help the princess to get up." ”

I refused the support of the internal officials: "Adu, who is beside Erchen, went to chase the assassins, but he suffered

Seriously injured, he was just rescued by Yu Lin Lang. She handed this to Erchen, but Erchen didn't know, now

Presented to His Majesty, presumably an object related to the Assassins. "I lifted the piece of wood,

Kowtowed, "Please send someone to verify." ”

The internal official took the piece of wood and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor, and I saw that the Emperor's face changed

Finish.

He turned his face to look at the queen: "Mei Niang! ”

Only then did I know that the queen's name was Mei Niang.

The queen's face also changed greatly, she suddenly got up and pointed at me: "You! You're false

Sink! ”

I looked at her inexplicably. The queen eagerly turned around and knelt down: "Your Majesty Ming."

Cha, Yin'er was raised by the concubine single-handedly, and the concubine's life's hard work was placed in Yin'er

body, will never harm him! ”

The emperor did not speak, and the queen turned her face to me again: "Who have you suffered?"

Instigated, he actually used such a means to slander the palace? ”

I don't even recognize the original characters, and I don't know what is carved on that wood

Know, I've never seen anything like this, so I just looked at the queen with an inexplicable face.

The emperor finally spoke: "Mei Niang, she is afraid that she will never know what this thing is."

Things, how can they accuse you? ”

The queen was shocked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not believed the rumors. Why should the concubine be

Harm the Prince? Yin'er was raised by me, and the concubines regarded him as their own son

General??"

The emperor said lightly: "Biological son??" Not necessarily. ”

The queen hid her face and wept: "Your Majesty's words are simply heart-wrenching. Except for the concubines

If he is not pregnant for ten months, how is it different from his biological mother? When Yin'er was more than three months old, I took him

hugged to the middle palace, the concubines raised him, taught him to be a man, and taught him to read?? It's a concubine

persuade His Majesty to make him the crown prince, and the concubine's life's work is put on him, why the concubine

Why will you send someone to kill him? ”

The emperor suddenly smiled: "How innocent is that Xu Baolin, why do you want to kill him."

She? ”

The Empress raised her face abruptly and looked at the Emperor in a daze.

"Just because I don't ask about things in the harem doesn't mean I don't know. The ones you do

Enough is enough. Why do you want to harm Xu Baolin, it's not that you want to get rid of Zhao Liangdi. Zhao Liang

Di's father and brother all have heavy troops, and Yin'er will ascend the throne in the future, even if she is not made the queen, the concubine will always be

It's indispensable. With such a foreign family, how can you not regard it as a big trouble? You bear it like this

Xinyin'er sat firmly in the country, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will be difficult for you, the queen mother? ”

The queen reluctantly said, "Why should the concubines worry??" Your Majesty's words, the concubines and concubines

I don't understand. ”

"yes, why are you worried?" The emperor said lightly, "It's just that."

Afraid that Yin'er will know that his biological mother, the concubine of the year?? How the hell did he die

bar. ”

The queen's face was as gray as she finally collapsed there.

The emperor said, "Actually, you are still too eager, why wait another twenty years?"

When I die, Yin'er ascends the throne, and wants to set up Zhao Liangdi as the queen, he will inevitably turn his face with Xiliang, and if he uses force with Xiliang and wins, I will fight with Xiliang from generation to generation.

I am afraid that this battle will continue to be fought, and the disasters of the two countries will continue, and there will always be the one where the people's grievances are boiling

Day; If you lose, you just took advantage of this to make a big fuss, and it is unknown to abolish him and set up a new emperor. this

A move, I'm afraid that you have already thought of it when you persuaded me to let Yin'er and Xiliang get married

bar. Why the hell are you suddenly getting so fast? Could it be because the crown prince and the crown princess were sudden

Qin Se and Ming, this pair of children are getting along, which is beyond your calculations? ”

The queen muttered: "The concubine and His Majesty have been married for thirty years, it turns out that Your Majesty is in her heart, and will."

The concubine thought so badly. ”

"It's not that I can't think of you, it's that you can't do it yourself." The emperor coldly

said, "Karma, if you do too many evil things, there will always be flaws." You killed Concubine Shu, I didn't

There is a wronged one. You caused Xu Baolin's miscarriage and put Zhao Liangdi claustrophobic, I didn't ask

Over you. I always thought that you were just protecting yourself, these carving insect skills, if my son coped

No, he is not worthy of being a prince. Now you are so mad that you want to murder Yin'er, I forbear

Unbearable. Tiger poison does not eat children, although he is not your biological son, but after all, he is you

Hand raised, how can you bear it? ”

The queen finally burst into tears: "No concubines?? Even if Your Majesty refuses to believe it, the concubine

Really not?? The concubine never sent anyone to murder Yin'er. ”

I felt a chill in my heart, I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe I listened

to everything. The queen who is usually so noble and kind will be so scheming

A woman of deep weight.

The emperor said: "Those things you have done, do you have to turn over all the human and material evidence?"

Do you have to decree that a court order come and interrogate you? If you will confess your sins, I will do it

For the sake of thirty years of husband and wife, save your life. ”

The queen's tears rained down: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really wronged!" The concubine was wronged

In vain! ”

The emperor said coldly: "Twenty years ago, you sent someone to put a huge amount of medicine in Concubine Shu

The poisonous black fruit, the prescription that wrapped the black fruit, is still half there, and it is in you

In the second compartment of the palace. Do you have to send someone to find it out and force you to swallow it? ”

When the queen heard his last words, her whole body finally went limp, and she collapsed to the ground and fainted

Go.

I just feel like everything tonight is like five thunderbolts, and now those thunderbolts are still there

There was a loud bang in my head, one after the other, and I was dumbfounded, the whole thing

People are going to be stupid.

The Emperor turned his face and beckoned to me. I walked over cautiously and knelt down on him

in front of you. He reached out and slowly touched the top of my hair and said, "Child,

Don't be afraid, with your father here, no one will dare to hurt you again. When I asked Yin'er to marry you,

Actually, that's what I mean, because I know that you girls from Xiliang treat people best,

The truest one. ”

I wasn't scared because his palms were warm, like Daddy's hands. And actually

He looks a lot like Li Chengyin, and I have never been afraid of Li Chengyin.

The emperor said to me: "Take good care of Yin'er, he has no mother since he was a child, and someone is sincere."

Be good to him, and he will take out his heart for you. ”

Needless to say, I will also take good care of Li Chengyin.

But tonight's events still scared me, and I was scared from the bottom of my heart. palace

Everything is so terrible, and the human heart is so complicated, just like the queen, I would never have imagined

It was she who caused Xu Baolin's child to be gone, just because she wanted to blame Zhao Liangdi. Human life is there

They are really cheap in their eyes, and they are worse than ants. and Li Chengyin's biological mother, Shu

Concubine, why did the queen kill Concubine Shu, was it because she wanted to take away Concubine Shu's son?

It was all horrible, and it made me shudder.

Li Chengyin was very badly injured, and he was still unconscious until three days later. I don't understand

Stay by his side.

His wounds worsened, he had a high fever, he couldn't get a drop of water, and even the decoction was prying open his teeth

Off, a little bit fed in.

I think he might not really be alive this time.

But I didn't shed tears. At the most dangerous moment, he pushed me away, and if he couldn't live, I would just accompany him to die.

Our girls in Xiliang don't cry all day long, I've already cried once

field, and then stop crying.

Li Chengyin was in a coma, always constantly muttering something to my ears

When I got closer, it turned out that his name was "Niang", just like that fever.

I remembered what the emperor had said, and my heart softened for a while, he really was

A poor man, although he is a prince, he has never seen his mother since he was a child. whereas

The queen is so scheming, if Li Chengyin knew that she killed her mother

Dear, I will definitely be sad and sad in my heart.

Many imperial doctors guarded Li Chengyin. The emperor has issued an edict to depose the empress, and the government and the opposition are shaken,

However, the edict listed many crimes against the queen, especially now that Li Chengyin is alive and dead

Bu, it is inconvenient for the ministers to say anything. I heard the palace ladies say privately that the queen's maiden family is very rich

The powerful are inciting the officials of Menxia Province to prepare not to sign and oppose the deposition of the empress. I

I don't understand those things in the court, and now I know that I don't want to do anything when I am the emperor

What can be done.

I guarded Li Chengyin in the morning, and went to see Adu in the afternoon.

Adu has many wounds on her body, and she also suffered very serious internal injuries, Adu's martial arts

She must be a peerless master. Because the wound is total

To change the dressing, the things in Adu's pocket have already been taken out and placed on the coffee table. I

I saw that many of the things I gave to Adu, most of them were toys that I bought casually, such as

Make a mud whistle in the shape of a bird, or a red velvet flower. It's all from me to Adu, she's always there

It's carry-on, I'm afraid I'm going to use it.

My Adu, Adu who is so good to me, is because I have caused her to be a burden.

When I saw the chirping, a thought came to my mind, and I picked it up

Dysprosium, walk away quietly.

Almost everyone in the East Palace was concentrated on the side of Li Chengyin's bedroom, and the garden was deserted

Qing, not a single one.

I flicked the chirp into the air and sat there silently waiting. After a while, there seemed to be a light breeze blowing, and Gu Jian fell on me silently

in front of you.

When he saw my appearance, he seemed taken aback and asked me, "Who bullied you?"

Finish? ”

I knew I must have looked ugly, I cried so long that day that day that my eyes were swollen

, and I haven't slept for a few days and nights, and my face is definitely not much better.

I told him the matter briefly, Gu Jian was silent for a moment, and then asked me:

"Do you want me to kill the queen?"

I shook my head.

The queen has hurt too many people, and she should not continue to live in this world. But the emperor will interrogate

Sentence her, even if you don't kill her, you will depose her and lock her up in a cold palace. That's true for the Queen

It was enough, and it made her feel sadder than killing her.

I begged him, "Can you find a way to save Adu, she has suffered a lot."

wounded, never woke up. ”

Gu Jian suddenly smiled: "It's really funny, you don't ask me to save your husband,

but begged me to save Adu. Do you dislike your husband, or do you like it too much?

Cross? ”

"Li Chengyin suffered a external injury, and even the immortals were helpless, and they couldn't survive it

Go, it's his life. But Adu went after the assassin because of me, and she suffered internal injuries, me

Know you have a way. ”

Gu Jian had a gloomy face: "That's right, I have a way to save her, but why should I."

Want to save her? ”

I froze: "You once said that if I was in any danger, I could do it

Looking for you, but you won't help me! ”

Gu Jian said: "Yes, but I didn't promise you to help you save others." ”

"Now Adu is worried about his life, Adu's life is my life. She's for me

You can not die, now she is seriously injured, that is, I myself am seriously injured, if you don't

Will you save her??" I pulled out the golden knife and put it across my neck, "I'll die before you!" ”

Gu Jian stretched out two fingers and flicked it lightly on the golden knife, and I couldn't handle it

Stop, the golden knife fell to the ground with a "bell".

I rushed to pick it up, and with a flick of his sleeve, he swept it away.

I was furious and struck him with a palm, but before it touched the corner of his coat, he had reached out and grabbed it

My wrists, my eyes were hot, and I said, "If you don't save it, you won't save it, you go quickly."

Come, I'll never see you again! ”

Gu Jian looked at me for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Don't be angry. I

Just go and save her. ”

I used the excuse to send everyone in Adu's house away, and then waved out the window. look at

The sword leaped in through the window without a sound, carefully examining Adu's injuries. He said to me:

"The person who shot was so ruthless that even the meridians were almost broken."

I felt a chill in my heart, and he said, "But there is still a way to save it." He looked at me,

"But if I save her, how are you going to repay me?"

I was so anxious that I said, "When is it that you still say such things." you

If you want to save Adu, no matter how much money you have, I will give it to you. ”

He said contemptuously, "What do I want money for?" You also despise me. ”

I asked, "So what do you want?" ”

He smiled, "Unless??" Unless you kiss me. ”

I almost fainted, why do men like to gnaw on their mouths so much?

Li Chengyin is like this, and even this outsider Gu Jian is like this?

I gritted my teeth, stepped forward, grabbed him by the shoulder, stood on tiptoe and gnawed at him

One pass.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly pushed me away and suddenly asked me, "Who taught you?" ”

I was puzzled: "What? ”

"Once upon a time you would only kiss my face, who taught you?" His face changed,

"Li Chengyin?"

I was afraid that he would not save Adu, so I didn't dare to quarrel with him. His face was even more ugly: "You let Li Chengyin kiss you?" ”

Li Chengyin is my husband, won't I let him kiss me? I'm actually quite afraid of Gu Jian,

I was afraid that he would kill Li Chengyin in anger. Because his whole body was tense, as if he was going crazy at any moment

And the look on his face was very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on me.

I finally couldn't help it and said loudly: "You said it yourself, I was waiting for it at the beginning."

You didn't go for three days and three nights. Now don't say I don't remember anything,

Even if I remember, we couldn't have been together for a long time, and I was married to someone else

Finish. If you are willing to save Adu, you will save her, and if you are unwilling, I will not be reluctant

I will force you, but if I want to betray my husband, it will never be. We are in the west

's woman, although not like the Central Plains woman, pays attention to what three chastity and nine spirits, but I married Li

Chengyin, he is my husband, no matter what happened to us at the beginning, now I am with you

There is no more selfishness to speak of. ”

When Gu Jian heard this, he took a step back, I only felt that his eyes were full of anger,

There is even more of an unspeakable?? Sorrowful? But I've already opened my mind. this

I have long wanted to say something to Gu Jian, whether Li Chengyin is good to me or bad, for

Xiliang I married him, and he pushed me away at the most dangerous time, I really shouldn't betray him

He.

I said, "You go, I won't ask you to save Adu again." ”

He smiled suddenly: "Xiao Feng?? It turned out to be retribution. ”

He reached out and helped Adu up, then put his palm against her vest for her

Healing.

Until it got dark, Gu Jian was still healing Adu's injuries. I sat at the door,

Afraid that someone would break in and disturb them. But I haven't slept much for a few days, and I'm leaning against the pillars

on, dazed and almost asleep, but luckily only took a nap for a while, because of mine

He hit his head on the pillars and woke up immediately. Gu Jian had already walked out, and I asked him:

"How?"

He said lightly: "I can't die." ”

I walked in to see Adu lying there, his face seemed to be much better, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
