177 Secrets
The two disciples who had gone to look around to inquire quickly approached and whispered a few words to Guan Wei.
Qiuqiu turned her head to look.
The disciple beside Guan Wei hesitated: "Qiu Zhangfeng, there are people facing each other in the palace next door...... Why don't we go and have a look? ”
What he said was not very heartfelt, and it was clearly not his intention.
He also turned his head to look at the guard, obviously who instructed him to say this, and there was no suspense at all.
Qiuqiu immediately understood that Guan Wei was looking at the tense and awkward atmosphere between Fang Zhenren and her, and found a reason to relieve her.
"Okay, then go check it out."
The palace was lit up, and faint human voices came from inside.
Before he could walk in, he could hear the woman screaming and scolding: "I see which of you dares!" I'm a concubine, I'm the mother of the Six Princes! You dare to be presumptuous, my son has become the emperor, and he will never spare you! ”
Qiuqiu stood by the window and looked to the side.
The disciple just said that it was a confrontation, but it was actually a glorified statement. But this scene really doesn't match. There were more than a dozen or twenty people on one side, and they had the upper hand at a glance. On one side, there was only a beautiful woman in palace clothes with a palace maid, and she shrank by the wall in fright. She should be in her thirties, but she is naturally beautiful, even if she is now discolored
The leader on the other side is also a woman, but she looks a little old, and her charm is no longer there, even if she is dressed luxuriously, she can't hide her old age.
The guard on the side brought a chair, and she sat down unhurriedly: "Are you a concubine?" I'm the Queen. You're still counting on your precious son to save you? Come on, show it to her. ”
The person behind him took out the baggage one by one, the queen lifted her chin, and the person handed the burden to the concubine.
The palace maid beside the concubine walked over tremblingly and took the burden.
The girl might have guessed something, she took the burden and trembled even more, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, she took two steps back, and knelt on the ground together, and the burden in her hand could not be held, and she fell to the ground, and rolled forward twice.
"What's the errand? Pick it up quickly, give your concubine master a good look, and take a closer look up and down. ”
The maiden trembled like chaff, walked forward on her knees, crawled over to take the burden, and began to untie the knots on it.
The concubine looked at the queen in disbelief, and then looked down at the burden that was revealing her true face.
The moment the burden was untied, the concubine let out a miserable cry.
In the baggage is a human head.
Qiuqiu and they had already guessed what was in there, even if they didn't look at it, they could smell it.
The concubine pounced on the head and hugged it, holding it in front of her eyes and looking at it carefully.
The queen laughed, and the laughter reminded Qiuqiu of the night owl, which almost pierced people's scalps for a while.
"What? Don't recognize me? Isn't this your precious son, the Sixth Prince? Just by virtue of him, he also wants to compete for the throne with the son of this palace? Stop dreaming! You see, we are sisters in the end, this palace knows that you miss your son, so she deliberately asked people to leave his head and send him back to the capital quickly. Why, your mother and son are finally reunited now, shouldn't you thank Hongu well? ”
The concubine held her son's head tightly, crying and howling, she was almost silent, and everyone felt a chill on their backs. It was the desperate howl of a woman who had lost her child. She cried and shouted, and cursed the queen in front of her with all the vicious words she could think of. Qiuqiu had never heard these words in her life, and she couldn't even imagine that there could be such vicious and tricky words in the world.
The disciple behind Guan Wei finally couldn't help but speak: "Guan Zhangfeng, are they possessed by monsters?" ”
"Nope." Guan Wei said: "You can't tell if there is any demonic energy?" ”
The disciple was a little ashamed: "The disciple is incompetent. ”
Don't blame him.
Qiuqiu also felt that the two women in front of her were like being possessed by monsters.
But it's certain that they don't.
Maybe everyone has a monster hidden in their hearts.
The concubine looked like she had gone crazy, holding her son's head and crying and shouting, and then she actually laughed, laughed and talked.
The queen clearly enjoyed the thrill of defeating her opponent completely. She didn't seem to want to kill the concubine at all. It's like a cat that catches a mouse and gets it around, but refuses to eat it in one bite.
The queen walked away proudly, leaving the concubine and the palace maid who seemed to have been frightened, in this once gorgeous palace. There were only a few candles lit in the temple, which was not enough to illuminate the entire space.
When Qiuqiu was about to turn around and leave, the concubine stopped crying.
Qiuqiu turned her head to look.
The concubine carefully put down the head in her hand, wrapped it carefully again, hugged it tightly in her arms, and kicked the little palace maid who was on the ground: "Get up." ”
The palace maid stood up in a daze.
"Come with me."
The palace maid followed her stupidly, and after a few steps, she suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and grabbed the concubine: "Niangniang, Niangniang, don't look for a short look." ”
"Who said I was looking for a short time?" The concubine's voice was hoarse, but she was indeed very calm, if it weren't for her scattered clothes, just looking at her current calmness and momentum, the hysteria just now was almost as if everyone had experienced a hallucination.
The two young disciples felt that their eyes were not enough.
They have lived in the mountains since they were children, where have they ever seen such a wonderful drama?
Not to mention them, even Qiuqiu felt eye-opening and breathtaking.
When the concubine saw the head just now, they all thought that this concubine must be finished, and if she is not crazy, she will be stupid, and she will definitely die in the end.
But now it seems that the concubine is neither crazy nor stupid, and even the abnormality just now seems to be pretending to show the queen and deceiving her.
Not only was the queen deceived, but even they, the bystanders standing outside the window, were deceived.
The concubine led the little palace maid and did not go to the main gate, and the main gate was guarded by the people left by the queen. She and the maid left the palace through the secret door. The concubine had already changed out of her luxurious and cumbersome clothes, and was dressed like the palace maid.
She didn't want to leave the palace, but walked all the way to the side hall where the coffin of the former emperor was kept.
What does this woman want to do?
They followed behind the concubine and walked to the door of the side hall.
Shi'er and Elder Cao happened to come out of the side hall.
Of course, the concubine couldn't see them, she glanced left and right, and asked the palace maid to stay at the door to take care of the wind for her, and she herself carried the burden into the side hall.
She couldn't have wanted to put her son's head and the dead emperor together to reunite their father and son, right?
This thought made Qiuqiu feel a chill.
No, she also felt that she had lived all these years, no, she had lived in vain in these two lives. She couldn't see through this concubine at all now, she didn't know what was going on with her, and she couldn't guess what she wanted to do.
All of them, including the elder Elder Cao, followed the concubine and re-entered the side hall.
Qiuqiu even ignored the pungent and unpleasant smell of the side hall.
The body of the emperor was not carefully preserved, so it was filled with lime or something, and there was no one to guard it here, only a coffin was placed alone in the hall, and a few white curtains hung on the beams, which was indescribably desolate.
The concubine walked to the side of the coffin, she put the burden in her hand aside, and pushed the lid of the coffin hard.
The coffin was not nailed, she pushed hard a few times, and finally pushed the coffin lid to the side.
Qiuqiu asked in a low voice, "How did the emperor die?" ”
Shi'er and Elder Cao teamed up, and they would definitely find out the real cause of the emperor's death.
"It's poisoning."
This answer was not surprising at all, but it was surprising that Shi'er continued: "It's a chronic poison that has been in action since years ago." ”
"Years ago?"
"It's probably four or five years."
Who is looking forward to the emperor's death so much, but since he is looking forward to his death, why use the poison of such a chronic poison?
Well, it may be that it is not easy to poison the emperor, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at what he eats and drinks, someone has tried it first, and the poison with immediate results is effective, but the problem is that the emperor can't eat it in vain.
The concubine gasped and stood next to the coffin to look at the dead emperor lying inside.
The Emperor hasn't ...... yet Well, completely bad. He lay there quietly, his face wrinkled, his hair gray.
Such an old emperor and such a beautiful concubine don't match no matter how you look at it. The emperor is almost seventy no matter how you look at it, right? The concubine is also in her early thirties.
"Your Majesty." The concubine's voice sounded so empty and strange in the silent palace: "The concubine has come to see you." ”
Qiuqiu instinctively moved closer to Shi'er.
"The concubines also brought the six princes. The emperor has always said that he likes Xiaoliu the most, he is the smartest, the most like you, and the most worthy of inheriting the unification...... You see, the emperor must be very happy that I brought him here, right? ”
The concubine put the head on the emperor's chest: "Your Majesty, your son is almost dead now." Xiaoliu is also dead now, and only the third child is left, but he can't survive this winter. All thy sons shall die, and not one shall be left. ”
"The poison in the third child is the same as the poison in the emperor, how uncomfortable you are when you die, he will also experience the same torture when he dies." The concubine's tone was gentle and peaceful, and even sounded tender.
If you change the time and place, her voice can even be called intoxicating.
Presumably, when the emperor was still there, he must have doted on this concubine very much, and was very fascinated by her beauty and tenderness.
"Your Majesty, when you killed my father, my brother, and my future husband, you must not have imagined that one day you would die at my hands, right? You didn't kill me at the time, which is the biggest mistake you've ever done in your life. Now that you are dead, and your sons are dead, this emperor will have to be replaced by someone else...... Haha......" The concubine laughed quietly at first, and then the more she laughed, the more cheerful she became: "The year I entered the palace, after you pampered me for the first time, you asked me what I wanted, and I said, I will get what I want, and I will definitely get it." I've finally got it now. ”RS
