Chapter 70: Capture the Assassins
Suddenly, a trace of clarity flashed in her mind, the emperor and the general of the soldiers and horses led the troops into the palace after the ugly time, but Chu Huairan and they expected the ugly time before, why was the time to catch the thief so accurate?
She suddenly remembered the black stain on the helmet when Chu Huai ran away, and then she remembered why she felt strange at the time, there was a sense of déjà vu, it was a totem, a strange round totem, Qu Xiaoran found out that the assassin who assassinated her mother emperor had this totem.
She suddenly realized that the emperor's trick of killing people with a knife was too good, she looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and pretended to have a headache: "Yiran, I have been unwell for a few days, and I won't leave you to eat at night." ”
Zhao Yiran saw that her face was not good, and helped her back to the house: "Wanyan, do you want to find Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”
Xiao Wanyan immediately shook her head and said, "No need, this is all an old disease, I have medicine here, just let the next person boil the medicine in a while,"
Zhao Yiran settled her down: "Then I'll go back first." ”
"Okay, Xiao Ran, send Miss Zhao."
With Xiao Wanyan's ingenuity, he would definitely be able to see through the secret, Qu Xiaoran actually ignored Zhao Yiran, and he regretted his carelessness a little.
After sending Zhao Yiran away, Qu Xiaoran stabilized her mind and planned to enter the house to greet Xiao Wanyan's storm, but when he walked in, she knelt down in front of Xiao Wanyan, she didn't get angry, but asked calmly: "You already know these things?" ”
Qu Xiaoran lowered his head and said cautiously: "Yes." ”
Xiao Wanyan asked again: "Are you hiding it from me?" ”
Qu Xiaoran paused, didn't make a sound, he didn't know how to answer, Xiao Wanyan threw the tea cup on the table towards him in a fit of anger, and the fragments splashed on his legs, cutting his hand supporting the ground: "Qu Xiaoran, you have such a great ability, I'm afraid I can't know so much news in advance, and dare to drug me, next time, shouldn't you tie me up directly?" ”
Qu Xiaoran panicked and kowtowed repeatedly: "My subordinates don't dare"
"Don't dare? I don't think there's anything in the world that you wouldn't dare to do. Xiao Wanyan was indeed angry, she was angry that others had challenged her sovereignty, she pointed to the door: You go, I can't keep your big Buddha here."
Qu Xiaoran knelt forward, looked at Xiao Wanyan pitifully: "Empress, it's all my fault for being in a hurry, I want to get rid of Chu Huairan too much, please give me another chance, I will not dare to advocate again." ”
I still remember the last time Qu Xiaoran begged her like this, it was when Jiuli begged him to leave, he drugged Jiuli and tied him in the big tent of the military camp to embarrass her, and Xiao Wanyan punished him for the first time and was imprisoned for nearly half a month, and later, he lost his hostility towards Jiuli, and this kind of thing never happened again.
In fact, Qu Xiaoran is really not like a man in Daliang, although he is a servant, but the toughness of his bones has never changed, Xiao Wanyan even suspected that it was a wrong decision to pick him up in the first place.
Looking at the person with blood stains on his forehead, Xiao Wanyan pinched his chin hard, stared at his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Qu Xiaoran, you really don't look like a man in Daliang." ”
Qu Xiaoran panicked in his heart, and immediately explained: "Empress, I did all this to let you return to Daliang as soon as possible, Chu Huairan is a stumbling block blocking your way forward, and you can't help but get rid of it." ”
Xiao Wanyan slammed him to the ground: "I said that Chu Huairan can only be killed by me personally, have you taken my words as a deaf ear?" ”
This is the dignity of her Liang woman, which cannot be ignored.
She picked up Qu Xiaoran and threw him out directly, leaving no room for regret for herself, and said coldly: "Don't let me see you again." ”
Qu Xiaoran is like an unstable danger, she doesn't know what will happen in the next moment, and she doesn't know when her safety will be threatened, she will never allow this situation to happen around her.
She soothed her emotions and needed to find a way to inform Chu Huairan, she had long known that Qi Jiulu was not pleasing to her, once Chu Huairan lost power, she would definitely be the next person to die, and she couldn't involve the Liang soldiers in this gamble with no chance of winning.
Xiao Wanyan had a flash of inspiration, she pushed open the door and ignored Qu Xiaoran who was kneeling outside the door, and walked straight to the side courtyard next door and stepped into the threshold.
After a few days of recuperation, Qi Xiaoran's face was almost better, but in her heart, she actually added all these resentments to Xiao Wanyan's head, Xiao Wanyan saw that she had no love and her face turned a lot paler, and she couldn't help but say, "Yo, what's wrong with madam?" A listless look. ”
As soon as Qi Xiaoran saw someone coming, there was a fire in her eyes, she resisted the urge to tear her apart, and snorted coldly: "I don't want to see you, get out." ”
Vicious words are Qi Xiaoran's consistent style, if one day she changes her temperament, Xiao Wanyan will be really careful, she cracked the corners of her mouth and smiled softly: "Why did you become like this without the tenderness of Xiangye, it seems that the position of Mrs. is not so easy to sit in." ”
When he came back from outside, he suddenly saw Xiao Wanyan's figure, and immediately smashed the pastry plate in his hand: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to come to our lady." ”
Xiao Wanyan smiled sarcastically, raised her leg and kicked the plate back into her stunned face: "What are you, you dare to interject between the masters." ”
The face of the man in Daliang is miraculously precious, no less than that of the woman of the Great Zhou, his face was slashed by fragments, and a trace of blood flowed out, he covered his wounds, and was so angry that he wanted to come up and make a move, Xiao Wanyan took a step back and immediately said: "Madam, do you want to watch Xiangye die?" ”
Xiao Wan's words were amazing, but with her love for Chu Huairan, Qi Xiaoran didn't dare to be careless, she immediately stopped her suddenness: "Studded, don't be presumptuous." ”
was indignant, but he had to obey Qi Xiaoran's order and withhold the pain on his face.
Qi Xiaoran stared at Xiao Wanyan intently: "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Xiao Wanyan was not verbose, she was afraid of eavesdropping outside the door, and stuffed the note into Qi Xiaoran's hand.
Qi Xiaoran frowned and opened the note: When it was ugly tonight, the palace was surrounded and suppressed, and Chu Huai was in great trouble.
After reading it, the note quickly burned out in less than a second, Qi Xiaoran looked at the note that disappeared out of thin air, sank down, and hated Xiao Wanyan: "Why do you think I will help you." ”
Xiao Wanyan shrugged indifferently: "It's not to help me, it's to help yourself, what does it matter to me whether he is dead or alive, I am just responsible for informing you, anyway, I brought it, it's up to you whether you go or not, it's getting late, I'm going back to sleep, say goodbye." ”
Qi Xiaoran clenched her fists with both hands, her face was flushed, and she shouted to Xiao Wanyan: "Aren't you worried?" ”
Xiao Wanyan turned around and pretended to think: "I feel that life and death are fateful, and I can't force it, worrying about it will only increase my troubles, so I will simply obey the will of heaven." ”
Qi Xiaoran hated and hated: "You don't love him at all." ”
Xiao Wanyan was facing Qi Xiaoran and said flatly: "Is it important to love or not?" ”
Closing the door, Qi Xiaoran broke a lot of porcelain in the room, Xiao Wanyan raised the corners of her mouth, and let out a sigh, she knew that Chu Huairan would be fine.
In the middle of the night, Qi Xiaoran secretly took Xu Changli out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she did not choose to let Xu Ran, but let him stay in the courtyard, in fact, in her heart, she was just a slave who pleased her, and at the critical time, it should be Xu Changli who needs to serve her for a long time.
Xu Changli was a smart and clever man, he arranged a carriage for Qi Xiaoran, and when he was ugly, he mixed into the palace, and when they arrived, the palace was in chaos, and Qi Xiaoran mixed with Chu Huairan's soldiers and entered the main hall together.
All the assassins were subdued, but there was a commotion outside, Qi Xiaoran pretended not to hear, she stepped forward one step faster than Chu Huairan, arrived at Qi Jiulu's side, and said with a worried face: "Brother Huang, are you okay?" ”
Seeing that Qi Jiulu was obviously stunned, he frowned: "Xiaoran, why are you here?" ”
Qi Xiaoran replied: "Naturally, I came with Xiangye to save you." ”
Another group of soldiers outside the door rushed in and fought with Wei Chi, and then another group of people came in, who were the guards of the Yiwang Mansion headed by Qi Jiuchen, they surrounded the emperor, and Qi Jiuchen bowed to Qi Jiulu: "The courtier's escort is late, please forgive the emperor." ”
When Qi Jiuchen saw Qi Xiaoran in front of him, he was also stunned, and scolded him by the way: "Nonsense, Xiaoran, why did you enter the palace at this time." ”
Qi Xiaoran walked to Qi Jiuchen's side, with an anxious look on her face: "Brother Wang, let them stop quickly, Xiangye and I are here to escort, they are not assassins." ”
After saying that, Qi Xiaoran walked down the steps and walked in front of Chu Huairan: "Brother Huang, you quickly let them stop, the assassins are already dead." ”
Qi Jiuchen pursed his lips tightly, he couldn't see a look on his face, and Qi Jiulu didn't move, until such a big movement alarmed the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother came, Qi Jiulu couldn't continue to watch, he gave an order: "Stop it all." ”
There are three waves of people in the audience, one side is headed by Chu Huairan, one side is headed by Qi Jiuchen, and the other side is headed by General Sima, after Chu Huairan understood his plan, his eyebrows flashed, and his eyes wandered between Qi Jiulu and Qi Jiuchen.
Qi Jiulu put on a filial look, greeted the Queen Mother, and sat on a high position: "Queen Mother, it's so late, why are you here." ”
After speaking, he glanced angrily at the palace people serving beside him.
The Queen Mother glanced at everyone standing in the main hall, and then at Qi Jiulu who didn't speak, she beckoned to Qi Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, come here." ”
Qi Xiaoran obediently walked to the Queen Mother's side and coquettishly said: "Queen Mother, why are you here." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Qi Jiulu and snorted coldly: "If the mourning family doesn't come again, I'm afraid this Qiankun Palace will be demolished." ”
Qi Jiulu didn't say a word about what happened just now, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to call him directly and asked, "Emperor, what is the so-called matter tonight, why is it so lively?" ”
Qi Jiulu said respectfully: "After returning to my mother, the assassins broke into the palace, and they all came to arrest the assassins. ”
