Chapter 22: Swords Force
i^i^
The winter nights are too cold and unforgiving. There was a gloom everywhere. Even the stars can't help but tremble. There was a heavy snowfall just yesterday. It's sunny today. It's just the time of the snowmelt. As a result, it was much colder at night.
Cining Palace. The Queen Mother's living room is a lively scene of joy and family joy. Original. Dinner time. The Queen Mother suddenly became interested. I'm thinking about eating hot pot. Therefore. ordered someone to call Meng Hongyu and Ouyang Ying to accompany her to eat hot pot.
Ouyang Ying also hugged Xin Min. Meng Hongyu teased Xinmin from time to time. I'm smiling with joy on my face. Xinyang sat next to the Queen Mother. He quietly watched Meng Hongyu tease Xinmin. I think Meng Hongyu seems to like Xin Min very much. Therefore the heart is displeased.
Xinyang is already a thirteen-year-old "big child". Childhood. He was instilled by Lin Yueyu with the idea of "he must be the emperor in the future". Therefore. Others are small. But he understood the importance of the throne and imperial power too early. The heart is obsessed with power and status. Single-mindedly trying to fulfill Lin Yueyu's wish. Become an emperor. Therefore. Xin Min said to him. Of course it became a potential threat. It's no wonder he doesn't like Xinmin.
Among the many concubines in the harem. The reason why the Queen Mother only called Ouyang Yinglai. It's because she wants to create more opportunities for Ouyang Ying and Meng Hongyu to get along. Let Ouyang Ying further get Meng Hongyu's heart, and it is best to replace Xiao Ziling's position in Meng Hongyu's heart.
"Queen Mother. Erchen wants to promote Bai Zhaorong as a concubine." Meng Hongyu took a sip of thin wine. took the opportunity to open his mouth to inform the Queen Mother about this.
"Oh. That's good. Now the harem is withering. The mourning family originally wanted you to choose a concubine again......" The Queen Mother said lightly. Raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Meng Hongyu. Sure enough, I saw him frowning slightly.
The Queen Mother continued to speak: "At the beginning. . . It is also the mourning family who urges day by day. That's why you nodded and agreed to choose a concubine...... I guess you won't say yes this time. Therefore. The mourning family broke off the idea of letting you choose a concubine again...... Now. Jin Feng several concubines. It's good to make up for the vacancy of the concubine position...... It's just that. Why do you want to make Bai Zhaorong a concubine?"
The Queen Mother was slightly puzzled in her heart: Meng Hongyu was not as attentive to Bai Rushuang as he was to Xiao Ziling. It doesn't seem to have the same intentions for Ouyang Ying. Now. How could you suddenly want to be a concubine.
"It's better to call Sister Bai too. Everyone is having a good time." Ouyang Ying suddenly proposed.
"Hmm. Not bad." Meng Hongyu nodded in agreement. Then he turned to Li Zhao and said. LI Gonggong. You tell someone to invite Bai Zhaorong."
A little eunuch took the order and left. Half a day's work. And the little eunuch came back alone. Li Zhao hurriedly asked in a soft voice, "Why did you come back as a minion. Bai Zhaorong Niangniang."
"Your Majesty. The mother said that she was physically inconvenient. Go slower. So let the minions come first." The little eunuch leaned over and bowed his head and replied. Meng Hongyu thought to himself that Bai Rushuang was pregnant. It is inevitable to be cautious in your actions. Therefore, it is understandable to be late for a while and a half. So don't pay much attention to it.
Behold. Half an hour passed. Still not as white as frost. Meng Hongyu was worried that something had happened to her on the road. I was about to send someone to check it out. Suddenly. But I saw Bai Rushuang break into the living room with a frightened face. As soon as I saw Meng Hongyu. She threw herself into his arms and trembled.
"What's wrong. What's wrong?" Meng Hongyu obviously felt the fear that was trembling all over his body. Hurriedly cupped her face and asked. Saw. Her face was pale. There are vague tear stains on the face. Slightly messy hair. The eyes are full of fear.
"Ah...... Blood ......" Xinyang screamed in fright. Hurriedly hid behind Aunt Shuwen.
As soon as I heard the word "blood". White as frost thought he had a miscarriage. I was so scared that I almost fainted...... Meng Hongyu hurriedly reached out to hold her arms. But I felt a warm feeling in the palm of my right hand. Spread out your palms and take a look. I saw blood on my hands. White as frost's left arm was injured. It's bleeding profusely.
"What the hell is going on?" Meng Hongyu asked anxiously.
"Ministers, concubines and Liuyun came to Ci and Cining Palace...... Walk, walk halfway. A dark shadow appeared...... Holding a sword in his hand and stabbing at his concubine...... Liuyun protects the concubines. Stabbed to death...... The concubine screamed. The black shadow fled in the direction of the Cold Moon Palace, and fled......" Bai Rushuang said in fear. Tears poured down her face.
As soon as Meng Hongyu heard that the assassins had fled in the direction of the Cold Moon Palace. I was shocked. A strong chill enveloped the whole body. A tingling of the scalp. The hands and feet were instantly cold in the cold Moon Palace. But there is Xiao Ziling. It's secluded and deserted. Inaccessible. Even the Imperial Guards who patrol the night normally are some old and sick people who can get by fishing in troubled waters. In case something happens to her. So what to do......
"Lu Yao. Follow me to the Cold Moon Palace." Meng Hongyu didn't dare to think about it further. I can't care about my safety as the king of a country. Raise your leg and walk out the door.
The Queen Mother saw Meng Hongyu leave in such a hurry. I only feared for his safety. I was so anxious that I jumped to my feet. Hurriedly urged Aunt Shu Wen and said, "Quick. Hurry up and order the Royal Forest Army to escort the Imperial Forest Army to the Xihuatang."
The emperor rushed to the door of the Xihua Hall at a hurried speed of 100,000. Meng Hongyu hurriedly jumped out of the car. Step up the stone steps in three or two steps. Standing in front of the old wooden door, there was a muffled knock on the door. He clenched his fists. A heart beats violently. At this time. How afraid he was that something would happen to Xiao Ziling.
Shinoru heard a knock on the door in the hall. So he hurried to open the door. As soon as I saw Meng Hongyu. She couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, the emperor came late at night. His expression is so solemn again. Don't...... Not good. I hope they heard a knock on the door in the study as well. Otherwise. The consequences are dire......
Didn't wait for Xiaoru to say a word. Meng Hongyu asked her anxiously, "Say it quickly. Where is Ling'er?"
"In ...... In the book and study, Xiaoru was frightened by Meng Hongyu's look...... Said unconsciously.
Meng Hongyu pushed Xiaoru's thin body away. Blowing up the hallway like a whirlwind. Go to the study. Shinoru froze in place. I only felt that the period of death was reduced to ......
"Bang". Meng Hongyu pushed open the door of the study. Go into the study. I saw Xiao Ziling sitting under the lamp safe and sound. I saw him burst in. The smile on her face froze instantly......
Thank God. She's fine. She sat in front of me unscathed. Meng Hongyu's heart finally let go. The mood instantly rose from hell to heaven...... However. His joy was only a second. A second later. He fell from heaven to hell again. Xiao Ziling and Zhan Zhan sat opposite each other. Laughing. It's very intimate.
His favorite concubine. At this time. I'm in a room with a lonely man and a widow of a royal guard. Sit opposite under the lamp. Laughing. This is the case. Lu Yao and Li Zhao, who hurried behind him, also saw it. The emperor's concubines and the imperial guards had a private meeting late at night. Lonely men and widows in the same room. Laughing.
He couldn't help but think of years ago. Liu Wanruo's affair with the imperial guard...... The woman named Liu Wanruo brought him great shame...... Meng Hongyu's heart hurt for a while. Another burst of hot ...... It's the Imperial Guard again. Meng Hongyu gritted his teeth with hatred. I can't wait to castrate all the imperial guards into eunuchs.
Anger instantly spread across every inch of Meng Hongyu's skin. Every pore. Saw. His handsome eyes were as big as brass bells. The fury burning in his eyes was enough to burn Zhan Zhan to ashes. It is enough to burn Xiao Ziling. He shouted angrily: "Lu Yao. Take this kid down."
Lu Yao immediately stepped forward. Haven't gotten your hands on it Zhan Zhan "plopped" and consciously knelt in front of Meng Hongyu. There is a sense of indifference and stubbornness in his eyes. He bit his lip slightly. Don't say a word.
Xiao Ziling hurriedly stood up and explained to Meng Hongyu: "Your Majesty. You misunderstood......"
"Misunderstanding the situation. It's really easy to misunderstand......" Meng Hongyu's voice instantly became low. There is a great danger lurking in the deep voice. He half-squinted. Staring evilly at Zi Ling. Step by step, he approached her.
Seeing the gloom in his eyes and the anger between his eyebrows. Zi Ling was also slightly scared in his heart. To know. Since entering the palace. She had never seen him lose his temper so much. Who knows. He's going to do something crazy. Therefore. Xiao Ziling instinctively stepped back step by step. Until your legs hit the table and chair hard. There was a pain in the legs......
Suddenly. Meng Hongyu grabbed Xiao Ziling's thin neck. Lift her up slightly. Forced into her eyes. Said viciously: "Misunderstanding. You'd give me a good explanation."
Zi Ling wanted to explain. However. but he could not make a sound. A tremendous force clamped down her throat. It made her feel breathless. Her little face flushed. Almost dying......
"Your Majesty. Please spare the mother...... Niangniang is innocent...... "Zhan Zhan saw that Ziling was about to be strangled to death by Meng Hongyu. There was a pain in my heart. There were tears in my eyes. Hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded with Meng Hongyu.
Meng Hongyu let go of Xiao Ziling. Xiao Ziling instantly slumped in his chair and inhaled heavily. And then. Can't help but cough violently. Coughing with tears all over his face. There were a few red fingerprints on her fair, thin neck. Next to the fingerprints are two or three bruises visible. Meng Hongyu almost exhausted his strength.
"She's innocent...... Then aren't you innocent," Meng Hongyu turned his head and shouted at Zhan Zhan. Raised his leg and kicked Zhan Zhan hard. Zhan Zhan was kicked and fell to the ground.
"You say. How are you innocent? In the dead of night. Lonely man and widow. Co-roomed. And the face said in front of me that you are innocent." Meng Hongyu raised his foot again and kicked Zhan Zhan hard.
Xiao Ziling finally came back to his senses. She sat in a chair. Watch Meng Hongyu kick and fight like crazy. Trampling on the dignity of the war. also insulted her and Zhan Zhan's innocence with vicious words. Thereupon. She smiled coldly. After laughing. She said lightly: "Those who are clear are self-purifying. The turbidity is self-turbid. We are worthy of heaven and earth. Under worthy of yourself. That's enough. If the emperor doesn't believe in Ziling. Dake killed Zi Ling with a sword. Why insult Brother Zhan like this."
We. Brother Zhan. It's so kind. For the sake of her "big brother Zhan", she is not even afraid of death. Dare to contradict his ninety-five honor. Xiao Ziling's words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. made Meng Hongyu angry to the extreme. His face was blue. Suddenly. He pulled out the saber from Lu Yao's waist. pointed a sharp sword at Xiao Ziling's chest. In an extremely cold tone, he said, "Do you think. I really don't dare to kill you?"
