Chapter Seventy-Two: A Shocking Reversal

Sima Rui's tone was gloomy and terrifying, and in his ears was the roar of General Menghuameng, who had broken his tendons and tendons, who was tortured to the point that he did not 'form' into a human form, Qin Yunuan slowly approached, suddenly smiled, and said to Sima Rui: "Do you think that I will follow you in, and I don't have the confidence to go out, do you dare?" ”

Sima Rui suddenly grinned: "Qin Yunuan, you are too arrogant and extremely confident, so I like it very much." ”

"Really?" Qin Yunuan slowly approached, her eyes suddenly revealed a charm that she had never seen before, like a seductive spell, no matter how strong her willpower is, a man will also have a moment of swaying, "Then you, do you like this?" ”

As he spoke, Qin Yunuan had already sprinkled the quicklime that had been hidden in his palm on Sima Rui's eyes, and then hurriedly retreated.

"Cold frost." Qin Yunuan gave an order, and a purple figure appeared like a ghost, a soft sword in his hand danced like a silver snake, the secret passage was already dark, Sima Rui's eyes were all quicklime, and the stinging pain made him even more unable to open his eyes, and in order to make a move, he had already been put against his neck with a soft sword by Leng Shuang.

The cold touch made Sima Rui shiver, but he never did useless work.

Sima Rui's eyes were already red and swollen, and in the air, the smell of quicklime and the faint aroma emanating from Qin Yunuan's body teased Sima Rui's nerves again and again, both of which were enough to kill him.

"Heh, little trick" Sima Rui said disdainfully, "The entire Jingchen Palace is my people, and I have already controlled most of the entire palace, even if you kill me, you won't be able to get out of here." ”

"The third prince really underestimates my servant girl," Qin Yunuan also shook his head and said, "Cold Frost is not something that anyone is willing to kill, like you, it will only dirty her sword." ”

Sima Rui laughed coldly, but his footsteps slowly moved back, and the hand behind him had already accurately touched a small bulge on the wall of the secret passage, and he turned his fingertips and was about to press it.

"Third young grandmother, he sent a signal for help." Leng Shuang saw through Sima Rui's trick at a glance, and picked it with a sword, and the sharp stinging sensation made Sima Rui subconsciously retract his hand, and his fingertips were covered with Yin Hong's blood, but just now, he had already pressed the special button quickly, and at the same time, a string of bells outside the East Side Hall would ring, and the people outside naturally knew that he had an accident inside, and within a moment of incense, a large group of people would come.

"Leave him alone" Qin Yunuan didn't look worried, "Let him press, I'll wait with him and see who will save him." ”

Qin Yunuan's confident appearance made Sima Rui's heart tremble, and after a while, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the secret passage, Sima Rui chuckled, and the smugness on his face was difficult to hide, until the footsteps got closer and closer, Sima Rui frowned, this footstep was not right, it was clearly not his subordinate.

A gust of evil wind hit, and Sima Rui seemed to have smelled a cold and strange aura, which was the breath of death;

"Third prince, let's really not see each other for a long time."

The voice......

"Leng Changxi! It's you! Sima Rui couldn't believe it, he had laid out a careful plan last night to lure Leng Changxi's eighteen shadow guards away one by one, although he hadn't captured them yet, but the whereabouts of the eighteen shadow guards were completely under his control, as for Leng Changxi, although he didn't catch him on the spot, he also sent his most elite masters to follow and pursue him all the way, and now there is no news over there, but he never thought that Leng Changxi was still in the palace.

The quicklime was already so fascinated that Sima Rui couldn't open his eyes, but he could still feel that the aura glowing with the coolness of the forest was slowly approaching, it was Leng Changxi.

"That's right, it's me." Leng Changxi watched with interest.

Sima Rui suddenly woke up: "Are you the little guy who followed Sima Han?" ”

Leng Changxi smiled: "More than that, from last night to today, you and I should have seen more than once, the guards outside your palace, the inner servants who passed you by on the palace road, and even, some of the closest people around you are probably me." Leng Changxi shook the human skin mask in his hand, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that Leng Changxi is the master of human skin masks, in fact, it is very reasonable to think about it, but what is surprising is that it was Leng Changxi himself who always thought that it was Leng Changxi himself who helped Leng Suxin cover his appearance with a human skin mask, he was only ten years old at that time, and he actually knew how to make such a sophisticated human skin mask.

"Nuan Nuan, are you okay?" Leng Changxi bypassed the cold frost that protected Qin Yunuan, hugged Qin Yunuan in his arms, and kissed her forehead, this kiss was like a reassuring pill, just for a moment, all the worries and apprehensions that were still permeating Qin Yunuan's heart just now disappeared.

Qin Yunuan nestled in Leng Changxi's arms, and nodded like a kitten: "I'm fine." ”

After a while, someone from outside came to report, saying that Sun Miaoyang had entered the Qiankun Palace to treat the emperor, except for the emperor's consciousness was a little unclear due to the influence of psychedelics for a long time, his other physical conditions were not affected, and Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had been doing things in private, also confessed everything when the Leng Jiajun's people caught him, among which he confessed to how he collaborated with the third prince Sima Rui to poison the eldest princess, and then blamed Queen Chen.

"Sima Rui, all your crimes have been exposed." General Shang Xianhua immediately shouted, and the two soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and tied Sima Rui with chains.

The other team had already crossed the pool of blood early and rescued Menghua, who was so abused that he didn't look like a human being, but Menghua's hands and feet were seriously injured, and even if he could recover, he would no longer be able to lift his sword.

"General, what should I do with that fake General Meng on the outskirts of Beijing?"

Leng Changxi narrowed his eyes: "Naturally, it will be taken into custody and handed over to the emperor for decision." ”

In terms of helpers, Liu Bao and Imperial Physician Zhao around Sima Rui, as well as the forces of the Qin family and the killers of the Dou family, have been exposed, and in terms of military strength, he deliberately used his own hands to insert the powerful Meng family's army, and as a result, he was also killed, and even this secret passage that took him seven years of hard work was made public.

No one can accept this fact.

In Qiankun Palace, after using the special fragrance of medicinal materials brought by Dr. Sun, Emperor Zhaoxuan's health has been very good, and he can gradually start to get out of bed and walk and talk to people;

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Before the eunuch's words were completely finished, the Queen Mother had already walked into the hall quickly: "How is the emperor's health?" ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan touched his temples that were a little painful, shook his head and said: "It's like having a big dream, and my hair is very dizzy, but since Doctor Sun said that there is no big problem, I believe it will get better in many days, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry." ”

The Queen Mother threw off her sleeves when she heard this: "What a bold Sima Rui, he is so arrogant, he dares to use such unclean psychedelic drugs on the emperor." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan had already known about the situation outside, and he was angry for a while, and slapped his palm on the mahogany coffee table next to the bed: "Rebel, he has a bad fate, and the only queen who can take care of him a while ago has also passed away, why am I so indulgent to him, and I am too confused to let go of so much power in the court and the central government with him." ”

"Why does the emperor blame himself so much," the Queen Mother comforted Emperor Zhaoxuan, "But this time, Leng Changxi, General Leng and Qin Yunuan, the lord of Heping County, have a merit in pacifying this traitor, Your Majesty, you see?" ”

Leng Changxi's merits Emperor Zhaoxuan naturally knows, starting from personal feelings, he has always regarded this sister's widow as his own family, and he will not secretly invite the best master for him since Leng Changxi was a child, let alone let go of the Daqi Ercheng army with him when Leng Changxi was only eighteen.

"The reward is naturally rewarded," Emperor Zhaoxuan nodded and agreed, "It's just that the son is thinking about how to deal with the rebel son of the wolf's ambition." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan wants to take advantage of Sima Rui's capture now that he has no chance to contact people outside the palace, and come up with a two-pronged strategy to wipe out the three princes' parties.

The Queen Mother thought for a while: "It is better to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu, first on the grounds of the many disasters and difficulties in Daqi this year, send the three princes to the imperial tomb to pray to the ancestors, the imperial tomb is far away from the capital, as long as it is strictly guarded, the traitor and the people in the capital will definitely lose contact temporarily, so take advantage of this time, lay a net, and wait until the power of the capital is cleaned up, and then in the imperial tomb the thief will be secretly executed, and the death of the disease will be declared to the outside world. ”

"Very well, then it depends on the queen mother's wishes." At this moment, Emperor Zhaoxuan no longer has the slightest flesh and blood affection for Sima Rui, in his mind, Sima Rui is just a traitor who has committed the following crimes, and killing him is just a matter of the knife at hand.

At the same time, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi came out of the secret passage, not knowing that in the Qiankun Palace, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhaoxuan had easily decided Sima Rui's life and death.

"Escort him down." Leng Changxi ordered Leng Wu to take Sima Rui down.

Walking to the gate of Jingchen Palace, Sima Rui's eyes that could barely see things caught a trace of a familiar figure, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at this woman who was bowing down to him a second ago in disbelief.

"Qin Yunxiang, it's you! You stupid woman, you brought them here? Sima Rui gritted his teeth and said to Qin Yun, who was submissive, "You eat things inside and out, one day I will pick your skin." Sima Rui wanted to shout some cruel words, but Leng Wu beside him didn't give him this chance, a piece of torn clothes was dipped in some water from the kettle and stuffed into Sima Rui's mouth, and he couldn't say anything.

Qin Yunuan stood on the eighteenth steps and watched Sima Rui being sent away, and then saw Qin Yunxiang who was looking cautiously towards him, but did not speak, until Qin Yunxiang approached Qin Yunuan and smiled slightly: "Big sister, don't come to harm." ”
