Prime Minister Du Cheng was enraged by his words, raised his long sword and came towards Beitang Jinyu, the moves were all ruthless, Beitang Jinyu was not afraid, life and death were impermanence under the shadow of the sword.

"Beitang Jinyu, suffer death!" Prime Minister Du Cheng snatched the jade seal from Beitang Jinyu's hand, and then took the sword and went straight towards Beitang Jinyu, just when the long sword was about to reach Beitang Jinyu's heart, Du Chengxiang froze, his eyes widened with disbelief, and blood overflowed from his mouth.

He lowered his eyes to look at the long sword that pierced his heart, and slowly turned around, seeing that the military general who was still swearing allegiance to him tightly held the hilt of the sword.

The long sword in his hand fell to the ground, but his other hand was still holding the jade seal tightly, Beitang Jinyu threw away the sword in his hand and said, "Prime Minister Du Cheng doesn't want to see, what is the thing you exchanged for your life?" ”

Prime Minister Du Cheng frowned tightly and showed a painful look, his trembling hand slowly opened the brocade box, what was placed in it was not a side object, but a letter he sent to the Chu State to ask for reinforcements, how could it be here?

He was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't recover from shock for a long time.

"Prime Minister Du, at this moment, Emperor Chu himself is difficult to protect, how can he rescue you?" Beitang Jinyu squatted down and looked at Prime Minister Du Cheng and said: "You are smart but confused for a while, I have already known your rebellious intentions, how can I not be moved?" ”

It wasn't until this moment that Prime Minister Du Cheng came to his senses.

All of this is a bureau laid out by Beitang Jinyu, and the letter he sent to Chu that needed reinforcements did not arrive in Chu at all, but fell into his hands, and Beitang Jinyu simulated sending a reply to him, and the so-called 10,000 reinforcements would not be there at all.

This is all a bureau set up by him, he is just waiting for himself to die, and even the henchmen he thought he could trust turned out to be Beitang Jinyu's right-hand man.

He planned for years, but in the end it turned out to be a joke!

Prime Minister Du couldn't stand such stimulation, spit out a mouthful of blood, stared at his round eyes and stiffened his body and fell to the ground.

"The last general will see the emperor." The generals knelt down one after another to see the emperor, and Beitang Jinyu raised his hand and said: "Those rebels have been dealt with, and those officials who have a relationship with Prime Minister Du Cheng have also been detained and put into the palace." ”

The generals were ordered to retreat, and Beitang Jinyu looked at Gao Wei Lake and said, "It's about to rain, let's go in." ”

"At this hour, Young Master Chu should have also entered the palace with General Xiao, right?" Gao Weihu said that this long-planned campaign finally broke out today.

"Hmm." Beitang Jinyu nodded, and Gao Weihu was a little worried: "I don't know how the Empress Dowager is?" Are you frightened? ”

"I'll go over and see the imperial grandmother, you are tired and unwell today, so you are waiting for me here." Beitang Jinyu said, and looked at Gui Xi and a few guards guarding the imperial study.

Suddenly it rained heavily outside the window, washing the palace, and the blood stains that were originally covered were quickly washed away, and this heavy rain fell for half an hour, Gao Weihu sat on the edge of the bed and watched, and said, "This rain is really timely." ”

In the imperial study, the palace maid was cleaning up the mess, and a palace maid came over with tea and put the tea in front of Gao Weihu, Gao Weihu suddenly felt that this breath was very familiar, and she raised her eyes to see that it was the face of Concubine Li.

Her eyes were full of hatred, and in her sleeve she turned over was a dagger that came straight towards Gao Weihu, Gao Weihu reached out and grabbed her hand to control the dagger, and under the stalemate, Gao Weihu raised her foot and kicked Nali Guifei hard, and hurriedly ran out when she stumbled and didn't stand firm, but she somehow fell to the ground softly, and the palace maid in the imperial study was frightened when she heard the movement, and she screamed in panic when she saw Li Guifei holding a knife.

The guards outside the door rushed to hear the sound, and saw that Gao Weihu was held hostage by Concubine Li with a dagger, and she didn't dare to act rashly, she forced the dagger on Gao Weihu's neck, and said viciously: "If you dare to take a step closer, the palace will kill the queen, you all have to die, no one wants to live!" ”

Gao Weihu stretched out his hand to protect his stomach, forced himself to calm down, and followed the footsteps of Concubine Li and walked out: "Concubine Li, are you going to see the emperor?" ”

"Shut up, I'm going to kill him!" Concubine Li said hatefully: "Exchange his life for your life, presumably he will be happy!" ”

Xiao Ruyan heard that the rebels had been arrested, and hurriedly took the agarwood out of Qifeng Palace, wanting to go to the imperial study to find Gaowei Lake, but she didn't expect to walk into the imperial study and saw Li Guifei dressed as a palace maid and holding Gao Huanhu Lake hostage with a dagger.

Gao Weihu felt that the dagger was constantly strangling his neck, and there was already a sense of pain, and when he was about to walk to the door of the imperial study, Xiao Ruyan suddenly appeared, and she panicked: "The queen mother......

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her!" Concubine Li said, Xiao Ruyan looked at Concubine Li, and said: "If you kill the queen's mother, the emperor will definitely not let you go, and you will have no chance to survive at all." ”

"I don't want to live, I just want them to die!" Concubine Li's eyes were full of hatred, she was cut off and her intestines withered, she wouldn't live long, but even if she died, she had to find someone to join her!

The royal family of Chu has also undergone earth-shaking changes, Chu Qiguang, the great prince of Chu State, led his troops into the palace and swept the cruel and violent Chu Emperor Chu Xiaoyi off the throne.

Xiao Chu rushed back to the Great Zhou Dynasty overnight after helping Chu Qiguang capture the imperial city, and not long after he returned to the palace, he heard that Yao woke up in the interior of the villa.

Lu Yao had a long and lonely dream, which was originally so beautiful at the beginning, but then she watched Xiao Chu spread red makeup for ten miles, and married Du Changning with a red ring in a sedan chair.

After opening her eyes, she was even a little confused, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, Gu Yanran's eyes were full of surprise and she almost knocked over the medicine, she said, "Yaoyao, you're awake." ”

Lu Yao answered softly, she opened her lips but couldn't make a sound, her throat was dry and hoarse, Gu Yanran hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea for her to moisten her throat, Lu Yao asked in a low voice, "Yanran, is General Xiao married?" ”

As she spoke, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Gu Yanran hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "No, Yaoyao, you calm down first, a lot of things happened during your coma, wait for me to tell you slowly." ”

Lu Yao relaxed a little when she heard Lu Yao's words, but her heart was full of sourness and sadness, and she asked in a low voice, "Yanran, I want to stay alone." ”

Although Gu Yanran was a little uneasy, she didn't dare to disturb her too much when she saw Lu Yao's trance-like expression, so she quietly withdrew, anxious to tell Liu Yingjiang the good news.

Lu Yao slowly lifted the quilt and got up, when she got out of bed, she almost didn't fall down, fortunately, she held the bed, she slowly walked to the window and sat down, looking out of the window with ethereal eyes, it was already twilight at the moment, the wind blew through a little coolness, she felt that her body was full of tiredness, she had been lying on the bed for so long, and she felt unreal at the moment.

She suddenly thought of the traces of her face, hurriedly looked for the bronze mirror, and finally found a small bronze mirror in the brocade box, she opened it to see, raised her eyes worriedly, the black mark on her face was really still there, Lu Yao lowered her eyes in disappointment, and sighed.

"Yaoyao, can you come in?" Liu Yingjiang's voice came from the door, and Lu Yao replied, "Come in......"

Liu Yingjiang walked in with the medicine box, looked at her awake, and smiled slightly: "Yaoyao, are you really awake?" How does it feel? ”

"Brother Liu, the poison in my body can't be cured, right?" She gently stroked the black marks on her face, and there were tears in her eyes.

Liu Yingjiang took her pulse and said: "You have been in a coma for several days, your pulse is vain, and you need to recuperate, don't worry, the antidote has been developed, wait for your body to recuperate." ”

Lu Yao nodded lightly, there was almost indescribable loneliness in his eyes, this coma was like a big dream, now that he has woken up from his dream, those past events should be like this dream, all gone.

When Xiao Chu hurried to the villa, Lu Yao was sitting in front of the window drinking tea, very quiet, Xiao Chu looked at the familiar figure, and his heart was so hot that he almost couldn't open his legs.

"Yaoyao." Xiao Chu called her and slowly walked to her side, Lu Yao froze when she heard this voice, and slowly raised her eyes to look, full of surprise and excitement at Xiao Chu.

"General Xiao." Lu Yao hid the emotion in her eyes, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Drink tea?" ”

Xiao Chu took the tea, sat down opposite Lu Yao, and slowed down for a long time before speaking, "Yaoyao, are you okay?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yao nodded, it was just a big dream, there was nothing good or bad.

"Liu Gongzi said that an antidote has been developed, and it will be able to detoxify you in a few days." Xiao Chu said, it was hard to hide a smile.

Lu Yao nodded, looked out the window and chuckled, and said slowly: "General Xiao, I'm going back to Jiangnan." ”

Lu Yao finally raised her eyes to look at him, and she said slowly: "Xiao Chu, if it's not because of this, I shouldn't have stayed here in the first place." ”

She had always called him General Xiao, but now she called Xiao Chu in a slow tone.

"What's the reason for that? What are you telling me for? Xiao Chu was a little anxious, and now Lu Yao, who was sitting in front of him, was quiet and indifferent, making him feel that he couldn't grasp it like the wind and clouds, and he was about to disperse at any time.

"Xiao Chu, the Du family is in prison, and your marriage contract with Miss Du is gone, but even without her, there will still be Miss Zhang and Miss Li, how about it...... It won't be me. Lu Yao said in a low voice, with a bit of self-deprecation in her tone.

There are many women in this world who are worthy of him, but she is the only one.

"My marriage contract with Miss Du was originally fake, in order to cooperate with the emperor to lead the snake out of the hole." Xiao Chu said, and heard Lu Yao smile again: "The marriage contract is fake, and your kindness to her is also fake, so what is the relationship in your heart?" ”

She raised her lips and smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Chu listened to the question of the woman in front of him, and suddenly didn't know how to answer, Lu Yao wiped away her tears and said, "It's not important, you don't have to come to the villa in the future, just have Yanran with me, and you don't have to waste time with me when you are busy with official business." ”

As she spoke, she got up and walked outside the house, Xiao Chu looked at her figure, and suddenly a coolness rose from her heart.

This seamless game was over, but he was about to lose her.

Lu Yao sat in the pavilion until she saw Xiao Chu's figure leaving the villa, she couldn't hold back her tears, and she fell on the table and cried.
