Chapter Twenty-Three: Not Afraid (Second Watch)

Concubine Cheng was already on her mind, and happily drank the poisonous wine that He Lan handed her hands.

After drinking a cup of crane top red, she spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining her concubine costume red, bright red and dazzling.

An Huajin looked at it, thinking that although Concubine Cheng came to her here today, it was a coincidence that the incident happened, but His Majesty took advantage of the situation and chose to kill her in the An family's old mansion, this scene, maybe this is what His Majesty wants her to see by the way.

As for what she saw from this scene, it was nothing more than the supremacy of imperial power, the king wanted his ministers to die, and it was a matter of one sentence.

Even if the concubine who has supported him, even if the concubine he has always respected, makes a mistake, it must come to this end. Imperial power is not as dignified as human desecration, defilement, and violation.

Concubine Cheng took one last look at An Huajin, An Huajin nodded slightly at her, and she closed her eyes in reassurance.

The people who followed Concubine Cheng to wait were all frightened, the concubine died, she was given death by His Majesty, they saw it with their own eyes, can they still live?

"It's not good to protect the concubine, everyone will die!" He Lan saw that Concubine Cheng was dead, and waved his hand to order.

The Praetorian Guards stepped forward, and the two pressed one by one, covered their mouths, and fought one by one, and soon, hundreds of people were all killed with rods, and they did not even make a sound to beg for mercy.

This is the first time that I have seen so much blood in the old mansion of the An family.

An Huajin looked at her with pity, knowing that Concubine Cheng had an affair, and these people who were waiting for her, even if she and Gu Qingyan interceded, His Majesty would not let go of one, this love is the same or not, why bother.

Gu Qingyan's face was calm, his eyes were light, and he had already expected this result, so he was not shocked.

After the event, He Lan arched his hand, "Thank you to the little county lord and the seventh prince, these people have taken away their lowly duties, and as for the dirty places, the lowly ones will leave someone to help clean them." ”

"It's also hard work to congratulate the commander." An Huajin waved his hand, "You can get busy." ”

He Lan loaded Concubine Cheng into the car alone, took people to load these corpses, left part of the cleaning yard, left the old house of the An family, and returned to the palace to resume his life.

An Huajin stood on the steps, looking at the blood stained red everywhere in the front yard, such blood, it stands to reason that it is nothing to her, she is a person who has really been on the battlefield, she has seen mountains of corpses and bones piled up on the battlefield, and broken arms and bones that are flowing like rivers, but she still feels that the scorching sun can't melt the cold around her.

It's a little cold!

Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, patted her on the back gently, and coaxed her softly, "I see blood several times a year in the capital, and if you see more, you will get used to it." ”

An Huajin didn't push him away, and sneered, "Are you afraid of me?" Coax me! ”

Gu Qingyan hugged her slender and soft body, the faint fragrance on her body seemed to dispel the blood qi that was diffusing from her, and he smiled, "I know that you are not afraid, people who have been on the battlefield, where will they be afraid of this, I just want to tell you that the world is stable, and the price to be paid is not only the blood stained by the soldiers to protect their families and defend the country, but also the many invisible dark blades, which are also bloody." ”

"Well, you're right." An Huajin's body gradually warmed up, "Should you let go of me?" ”

Gu Qingyan slowly withdrew her hand and let go of her, "Let's go!" After eating, we went into the palace to see Your Majesty, so we didn't wait for Your Majesty to send someone to invite us. ”

Having witnessed such a big event, it is natural to show loyalty.

An Huajin nodded, "Okay, let's go!" ”

I hope she still has an appetite for lunch!

Uncle Sun and the people in the old house of the An family hid in the inner courtyard, although they didn't see what happened with their own eyes, but listening to the movement, they also vaguely understood that something big had happened, and the smell of blood permeated the old house of the An family, making many people who were old have white faces, and the younger ones are even more trembling.

The Anjia old house has been quiet for too many years, no matter how hot the battle was on the battlefield at the Nanyang border pass, the Anjia old house has never been stained with blood. This is the first time.

Uncle Sun was angry earlier, thinking about how Concubine Cheng didn't die, a slut, he deceived people too much, but now that he is really dead, he is almost scared to death.

Seeing An Huajin and Gu Qingyan returning to the backyard like nothing to do, Uncle Sun immediately stepped forward with a white face, "Little county lord, seventh prince, this ......"

An Huajin stretched out his hand and patted Uncle Sun's shoulder, "A thief sneaked into An's house and poisoned me, Concubine Cheng happened to be a guest at our welfare and blocked the poisonous wine for me, Concubine Cheng is really a good person, we have to thank her." ”

Uncle Sun was stunned.

"That's it!" An Huajin withdrew his hand, "You always tell everyone in this house, don't go out and talk nonsense, otherwise this smell of blood will be the end." ”

Uncle Sun was stunned, "Yes, what the little county lord said is very true, and the old slave knows." ”

The Praetorian Guards moved swiftly, and soon cleaned the red-stained ground without a trace of blood. Just as the private case of the An family's old house has never appeared, the An family's old house has returned to its previous peace.

Nine out of ten of the people guarding An's old house had been on the battlefield, and the soldiers who had retired from the battlefield did not panic for a while, and they were all in place, what should they do.

The lunch was very rich, but An Huajin really didn't have much appetite, he ate very little, and Gu Qingyan didn't eat much.

"Let's go, enter the palace!" An Huajin put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and stood up.

Gu Qingyan nodded.

The two went out of the old house together.

Concubine Cheng left the palace and went to the old house of the An family, and there was a lot of movement, and after entering the old house of the An family, there were also movements of fighting. People in Beijing guessed that Concubine Cheng was going to the An family's old mansion to find trouble with An Huajin. But I didn't expect that it would alarm His Majesty's Praetorian Guards, and they all guessed that the Praetorian Guards were dispatched, I don't know how His Majesty would deal with this public case this time, when Concubine Cheng and Lord An Xiaojun faced each other.

The results soon came out, and news came out from the An family and the palace at the same time that a thief sneaked into the An family's old mansion to poison the little county lord An Xiao, and Concubine Cheng was unlucky, drank poisonous wine, and blocked the disaster for the little county lord.

Concubine Cheng is dead!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the capital, and the major mansions were shocked.

Who is Makoto Princess? After His Majesty ascended the throne, she stood for 20 years, which can be said to be windy and rainy, and she was very respected and valued by His Majesty.

Just dead?

He's dead?

Just when countless people don't quite believe in this fact, it is. Concubine Cheng is really dead, and it is said that the people who serve Concubine Cheng are not good for the protector, and they are all killed with rods. His Majesty was furious, not only killed the people who followed Concubine Cheng to the old mansion, but also blocked Concubine Cheng's Fengci Palace, and the rest of the people in the palace who guarded the palace gate were also killed.

His Majesty acted vigorously and resolutely, and gave a high-sounding reason, Fengci Palace was mixed with thieves, and the thieves borrowed the hand of Concubine Cheng to murder the princess of An Xiaojun, and accidentally killed the concubine, everyone, all deserve to die, and they all have to be buried with the concubine.

People with a keen sense of smell immediately sniffed out that there was something inside, but since His Majesty advocated action, who would dare to find out what the inside story was? Naturally, whatever His Majesty says is what it is.

The emperor went to Fengqi Palace early to wait, and in front of the people of Fengqi Palace, the excuse was naturally that he had not accompanied the queen for a long time, so he specially came to Fengqi Palace to eat.

The queen wondered in her heart, and at the same time heard that the concubine had left the palace to go to the old mansion of the An family, and was worried that An Huajin's temper would not fight with the concubine, so she immediately sent someone to ask Chu Yan to go to the old mansion of the An family to take a look at the situation and stop her. Chu Yan sent someone to call back, saying that Gu Qingyan was here, and it was no big deal, so she could rest assured.

The queen thought about it, Gu Qingyan was a smart person, and she had always acted thoughtfully, so she also put her mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty came.

Your Majesty really hasn't been here for a long time, she greeted out of the palace, and saw that the emperor's face was very bad, she felt a "chuckle" in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, but what happened?" ”

"Have you heard about the grain robbery?" The emperor asked.

The queen nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, "Eighteen years, since I ascended the throne, I am often angry that I failed to find out back then, but now that it has been revealed, it must be investigated to the end." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that it must be revealed." The queen nodded, Nanyang Wangfu was suspicious back then, and she was not a good queen, so over the years, she didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, even if the An family made great achievements, even if his brother and nephew died on the battlefield, even if she was wronged, even if she was angry and hateful in her heart, but she still had to stabilize and sit firmly in the position of queen. If she falls, then her son, his father and Nanyang Jun, and her niece will also have one less protective barrier.

"I'm very upset, only you can make me clean for a while, and I'll come to have lunch with you." The emperor held the queen's hand, to this day, the father and son of the An family have already died on the battlefield, the An family is empty, what does he not understand, presumably when he ascended the throne, he suspected that the Nanyang palace guards were stealing, I am afraid that he has fallen into someone's trap

"It's been a long time since the concubine had lunch with His Majesty." The queen smiled softly and instructed Mama He, "Quickly let someone set lunch." ”

Although it is not yet time for lunch, much earlier than every day, it does not matter, His Majesty said that he came for lunch, that is, he came for lunch.
