Yu Mingzhu couldn't wait for King Qi's consent, so she had already asked people to step forward to tie up Yu Ruyan and take her to the heavenly prison!

Her words shocked Concubine Shu's whole body, she knelt in front of King Qi in a panic and pleaded for Yu Ruyan, her forehead knocked on the ground with a 'bang', but although she now has a high position, King Qi didn't necessarily listen to what she said.

Concubine Lian looked at the concubine in front of her, and she also hated it like bones, and said coldly: "Sister Shu really taught a good daughter, so capable, in this harem, disturbing the wind and rain, and even playing the palace and the eldest princess around." Sister Shu doesn't want to say that she doesn't know anything about all this. ”

Her sharp eyes slashed at Concubine Shu, softened in King Qi's arms, and said sadly: "I didn't expect that my sister is now in a high position, and she can't tolerate the concubine in her eyes, and she is bent on putting the concubine to death." Your Majesty, even if the concubine makes her sister unhappy, but Mingzhu is innocent, she is young and careless, but she has not offended the lady concubine, how can she be harmed together? ”

Concubine Lian's voice of reprimand hit Yu Ruyan's panicked nerves, looking at the cruelty in Concubine Lian's eyes, Yu Ruyan's eyes were cold, she knew that she couldn't sit still, let alone admit the haunting, because, as long as she fell, the mother concubine would also be implicated and framed, and all the palace people in the Jinying Palace would also bury her!

Concubine Lian and Jade Mingzhu are not dead, how can she be willing to die?

King Qi looked at the broken tongue on the ground, and believed Concubine Lian's words in his heart, but when he thought of Mu Lingzhi, he was a little embarrassed!

But the people brought in by Huo Xiang had already been ordered by Yu Mingzhu to step forward and detain her hands and escort her out, Brother An pounced on her and grabbed her, but heard Huo Xiang say coldly: "This matter is very important, I'm afraid that the people of the entire Jinying Palace will not be able to get out of it, and they will tie up the others together and put them in prison!" ”

Seeing Concubine Shu kneeling on the ground crying and pleading with King Qi, and seeing Brother An and the others also tied their hands and feet, Yu Ruyan hated it to the extreme, she struggled to break free from the guard's hand, raised her hand and slapped the guard's face, gritted her teeth and said: "This princess is not only the most noble princess Heshuo in Qi country, but also the future third princess of Daliang. ”

Her eyes were as sharp as a sword, her eyes turned into a piece of ice, and her whole body was covered in frost and stood in front of everyone coldly!

With such a fierce momentum, not only King Qi was startled, but even the others were so frightened by her words that they stopped their movements, and they were all stunned on the spot, not daring to move.

Huo Xiang's eyes flashed, and when he saw the hesitation on King Qi's face, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows the worries in your heart, the fifth princess has a special identity after all, but the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people. Now the evidence is conclusive, if Your Majesty is soft-hearted, I am afraid that people will criticize Your Majesty for being afraid of the Great Liang, so as to shield the five princesses! ”

Huo Xiang used the method of agitation to provoke King Qi to order to dispose of Yu Ruyan, but his words were extremely disrespectful, Yu Ruyan's eyes were cold, and he said coldly-

"No wonder others say that Huo Xiangquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and gently stomped on the court and the entire Great Qi would be shocked three times, I originally thought that these were all exaggerations, because no one except the Son of Heaven could do it except the Son of Heaven who made the world shake three times, and I really don't want Huo Xiang to have such a ability."

"Seeing you blatantly threatening my father today, I understand that the rumors are not false. Huo Xiang is indeed capable, you can search your father's harem as you want, and you are not afraid to frame the princess, and now I am forcing my father to punish me, does Huo Xiang want to kill people and kill people? ”

Yu Ruyan's words were straightforward and sharp, like a sharp knife directly picking Huo Xiang's chest, picking out his dark thoughts for everyone to see.

At this time, in the Jinying Palace, in addition to the people brought by Huo Xiang, there were also other concubines in the harem, everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the Lian Concubine was even more shocked to stand unsteadily, and reprimanded: "Slut, you don't want to talk nonsense and slander my father, my father has been loyal to Daqi all his life, and he has been thinking about the saint everywhere, you actually provoked the relationship between your father and Your Majesty, and spread rumors here, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Compared to Concubine Lian's anger, Huo Xiang was not angry at all, as if Yu Ruyan didn't care at all about the accusations he had just accused, his expression was flat, but there was murderous aura in those eyes-

Jade is like a face to him, he has to die!

He waved his hand to stop Concubine Lian from continuing, lifted his robe and knelt in front of King Qi.

King Qi was startled, and couldn't help but step forward to help him, and said anxiously: "What is Huo Xiang doing here?" ”

Because Huo Xiang is an old minister of the two dynasties and the emperor's father-in-law, the king of Qi specially granted him permission to exempt him from all etiquette, even in the court, when the ministers worship, only Huo Xiang can not kneel and stand proudly above the ministers.

Now, he was suddenly like this, which really shocked King Qi.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has done his best for Daqi in his life, and I don't want to end up with such a truth. was so humiliated and damaged by the fifth princess, the old minister was really cold. ”

"The evidence of this matter today is conclusive, if Your Majesty still wants to leave it alone, then in the future, how can this harem be peaceful? How does Your Majesty serve the public? ”

"Even if she has the three princes of Daliang behind her to cheer her on, presumably the three princes are also reasonable people, if they knew that she had committed such a wrong thing, they would not be willing to marry her again to disturb the order of the palace. With her temperament, even if she marries Da Liang and commits something wrong in the Da Liang royal family, if she offends King Liang without knowing the severity and causes trouble, it will still be the responsibility of His Majesty's adopted daughter for not teaching, and at that time, family affairs will become state affairs, and I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Listening to Huo Xiangtian's shameless words, Yu Ruyan really admired him, his clever tongue was like a spring, and black and white were reversed, no wonder his father had been coaxed by him over the years, and he listened to him in every move.

King Qi's appearance actually began to loosen, looking at the description on his face, Yu Ruyan was desperate in her heart, she knew that her father was finally moved by this old fox with a slippery palm, tonight, she really couldn't escape!

Compared with the noise in the Jinying Palace, the Huayang Palace was quiet.

The palace people in the house were all evacuated to the door, the queen mother sat quietly on the couch with her eyelids half-closed, and Yu Huaizhu knelt in front of the couch, begging the queen mother to come forward to protect the jade like a face.

The Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she sighed heavily and said: "The mourning family believes in that girl's ability too much, but it's not all her fault, Huo Xiang has been immersed in officialdom for decades, how can he dominate the officialdom for all these years, even the emperor has to give him three points, alas, after all, the mourning family made a mistake, let her fight with Huo Xiang, how can she be his opponent!" ”

"Queen Mother, please come forward to save the fifth sister, everything she does is to help me, if something happens to her because of this, I can only apologize with death!"

"Silly boy, so far, in order to protect the Shangguan family, the mourning family can't come forward!"

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Yu Huaizhu looked at her with an incredible face, and asked blankly: "Queen Mother, why is this?" ”

"If Huo Xiang only thinks that this matter was done by the five girls, he will only think that it is a grudge between her and Concubine Lian, if I come forward, he will definitely guess that I also know about the Shangguan family, and I will know that everything the five girls did is my acquiescence, and at that time, for the sake of Concubine Lian and the eldest princess, as well as their Huo family, Huo Xiang will definitely eradicate the Shangguan family at all costs and completely suppress this matter!"

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Yu Huaizhu's heart was filled with ice and snow, and she cried: "Could it be ...... Do you want to watch the fifth sister being framed by Huo Xiang? ”

The Queen Mother had a serious and cold face, and said coldly: "Don't worry, after all, the fifth girl is the princess Heshuo who was personally named by your father, and she is also the future third princess of Daliang, even if she is convicted, your father will not dare to do anything to her for a while." The only way to do this is to quickly send someone out of the palace to tell the three highnesses and let him come forward to save your fifth sister! ”

After that, the Queen Mother took out her token and gave it to Yu Huaizhu, but Yu Huaizhu didn't even care about the salute, and quickly got up and took the token out of the palace.

After she left, the Queen Mother quietly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and muttered: "Now, I'm afraid that only this world-famous Third Highness can deal with Huo Xiang." ”

The door was opened, and Mama Fang, who had been serving the Queen Mother for many years, quietly walked in, and quietly told the Queen Mother about the Jinying Palace, and sighed after speaking: "Queen Mother, being troubled by Huo Xiang, how many chances do you think the fifth princess still has?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said: "Huo Xiang is indeed at stake, the entire imperial court did not dare to confront it, although Chen Xiang has military merits, but unfortunately Chen Xiang is an idle person who does not want to do much, so——"

Looking at the brightly lit direction of the Hibiscus Sakura Palace, compared to her previous worries, the Queen Mother now looked relaxed.

"So far, the five girls are completely at a disadvantage, but Huo Xiang is only afraid that it will be too early to be happy. He and Concubine Lian are bent on killing two birds with one stone through this matter, not only to solve the dilemma of Chunlan Palace, but also to use this matter to eliminate the five girls, let Yumingzhu ascend to the throne, and marry Daliang as the third princess, but I am afraid that all this will not be as he wishes. ”

"Anything can be reluctantly obtained, but emotional things can't be reluctant, just because the three princes are willing to offend his father and the emperor for a five girls, this friendship, how can Huo Xiang and them force it to get, so he made such a big fuss this time, forcing the three highnesses to face him, it is estimated that he will not get any benefits."

When Mama Fang heard this, she finally solved the doubts in her heart before, and sighed: "Everything is under the control of the Queen Mother, and the old slave has always wondered why Huo Xiang searched the palace for such a big thing, and the Queen Mother did not come forward to stop it, and let him come, it turned out that the Queen Mother actually knew his next plan, so she would let him search the palace." ”

"Yes, he is determined to search the palace, it must be a good trick, no matter who he finally uses this trick on, with the character of the five girls, he will definitely come forward, because, the haunted thing was originally done by her, she is kind by nature, and she will not be willing to let others carry the black pot for her, so, in the end, it is a matter of her duel with Huo, in this way, the Third Highness will no longer help her in secret, but will jump out and sacrifice her life to protect her! This set can be regarded as a reversal. ”

Mama Fang looked at the Queen Mother's stretched brows, and said happily: "The Queen Mother is wise, nothing can escape the Queen Mother's eyes." ”

But thinking of the danger in the Jinying Palace now, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh again, and said: "The mourning family is already in the age of not being confused, and they shouldn't care about these things anymore, but the emperor ...... The mourning family can't interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and can only control the former dynasty from the harem. I hope the five girls know all this and understand me. ”

After that, he remembered something and asked, "That person from the cold palace, can you bring it back quietly?" ”

Mama Fang said respectfully: "I have quietly brought her back to Huayang Palace, and I only declared that she had died of illness in the cold palace, but Concubine Lian did not have any suspicions." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The five girls are younger, I only know that I want that person to sing the grievances to me, but I don't know, this harem is full of Lotus Concubine's eyes and ears, if it weren't for the recent haunting of Chunlan Palace that made Concubine Lotus inseparable, do you think she sang in the cold palace for a long time, and still has her life alive?" Let her be well raised in the palace, and let her go to the emperor as soon as there is a suitable time. ”

Mama Fang respectfully responded and quietly retreated.

On the other side, Yu Huaizhu quietly left the palace with the queen mother's token, and ran towards Chen Xiang's mansion non-stop, because she often walked around Jinying Palace, she heard Yu Ruyan mention that Mu Lingzhi had been in Chen Xiang's mansion for a while to help prepare for his cousin's marriage. So, go straight to Chen Xiangfu.

Seeing Mu Lingzhi, Yu Huaizhu just said: "Something happened to the fifth sister!" Before he had time to explain the situation in detail in the palace, he saw Mu Ling's figure flickering, and he had already rushed to the palace, Chen Yiqing saw it, and hurriedly chased after him with Yu Huaizhu.

On the way, Yu Huaizhu's simple words have already explained the things that happened in the palace, Mu Lingzhi heard that Huo Xiang was in the process of searching the palace, and his tongue was suddenly searched out in the dark room of the Jinying Palace, and his heart was already clear.

It's just that he already had an idea in his heart for a moment, and sneered: "It seems that tonight, this palace is going to have a good meeting with the famous Huo Xiang." ”

Chen Yiqing listened to his words and said anxiously: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, even if King Qi can spare the fifth princess in your face, it is a big crime to pretend to be a ghost in the palace, not to mention, the person she is dealing with is still Concubine Lian, and now Huo Xiang is personally out of the horse." How can you give up? ”

"Heh, now, it's impossible for him to stop if he wants to, bullying my family's Yan Yan, he is just looking for death!"

Mu Lingzhi was full of coldness, pulled the horse to stop, and commanded a few words in Chen Yiqing's ear, after Chen Yiqing heard it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what he meant. Just as he was about to return, Mu Lingzhi said to Yu Huaizhu again: "I don't know if I can borrow the princess's token to General Chen, he will enter the palace in a while, and it may not be convenient to have no token." ”

Yu Huaizhu hesitated for a moment, but when she thought that she wanted to help Yu Ruyan, she took out the queen mother's token and gave it to General Chen.

Chen Yiqing took the token and turned back.

Entering the palace, Yu Huaizhu followed Mu Ling to Jinying Palace, but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi, Mu Lingzhi also ordered her a few words, Yu Huaizhu heard it, and quickly turned around and left.

When Mu Lingzhi rushed back to the Jinying Palace, he happened to hear Huo Xiang's righteous words, and the King of Qi was indeed moved by Huo Xiang's words, and was about to harden his heart to deal with Yu Ruyan, Mu Ling stepped into the Jinying Palace with one foot, and said coldly: "I heard someone praising the palace from afar, heh, it's a pity, but it's wrong!" ”

Everyone turned back in horror when they heard this, only to see him striding in with a frosty face, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Suddenly seeing Mu Lingzhi who was covered in cold, Huo Xiang's heart sank, and although the expression on his face was still stable, his brows were quietly wrung up.

It is said that this third prince of Liang is the most unreasonable to play cards, but he is extremely profitable, he is a person with outstanding talent but a strange personality, and I don't know what he will do later?

Yu Ruyan didn't expect him to come back so late, her heart was relieved, her nerves that had been strained were relaxed, and her heart was filled with joy-

Great, as long as he is there, no one will dare to bully her!

Her eyes were red as she watched Mu Lingzhi walk towards her step by step, he walked straight past everyone and walked in front of her, raised his hand and frowned, and gently touched the clear palm print on her face, his eyes surged with murderous aura, and his tone seemed casual but cold and piercing: "Beaten?!" Oh, the face that this palace can't bear to touch is beaten like this, this person - really daring! ”

After saying that, Mu Lingzhi slowly turned his head, his gaze slowly crossed everyone like a sword, and said coldly: "Can anyone tell this palace, what happened here?" And who beat my princess? ”

Since he came in, he hadn't looked at anyone, including King Qi, but now, swept away by his sharp eyes, everyone's heads were numb, and they all fell silent.

Mu Lingzhi's eyes stopped coldly on Concubine Lian, and was swept away by his sharp eyes, Concubine Lian's whole body shuddered, but now, if she didn't dare to admit it, she would lose face in front of everyone, and she would lose her prestige in the harem in the future.

She looked around and saw that in this small courtyard, in addition to King Qi, there was also her father, not to mention that her father also brought so many guards, these guards were all her father's cronies, if this third prince really dared to be disrespectful to her, she was not afraid.

Thinking of this, she took a provocative step forward and said coolly: "The fifth princess pretended to be a ghost in the palace, and even framed the Chunlan Palace of the palace, which scared the little girl to the bitterness...... Yes!! ”

Concubine Lian's words were already screaming before she could speak!

Everyone saw a flash of cold light, and before they could react, Mu Lingzhi had already pulled out the soft sword on his waist, but in an instant, the tendons of Concubine Lian's two hands had been broken by Mu Lingzhi!

When everyone came back to their senses, Mu Lingzhi had returned to Yu Ruyan's side and stood leisurely, if it weren't for the extra long sword in his hand, as well as the blood beads dripping from the long sword, and Concubine Lian's hands trembling and falling to the ground, wailing in pain, everyone couldn't believe it, just in this instant, Mu Lingzhi attacked Concubine Lian, and it was too late for the guards on the side to save it!

"Presumptuous!" King Qi did not come back to his senses in shock, Huo Xiang was already furious and stepped forward and pointed at Mu Ling and shouted: "What a bold man, he actually hurt people in front of the saint, or hurt the concubine of the saint." Even if you are the prince of Daliang, you can't be so rampant! ”

"Rampant? Oh, if it weren't for the emperor's attention, the palace would have cut off her two arms neatly, and would she keep it? ”

Mu Lingzhi didn't have the slightest fear, and the long sword shone with a deep light, reflecting the undried blood droplets on it, which was extremely terrifying.

"Also, before I came in just now, I heard Huo Xiang praising this palace for being reasonable, heh, you really don't know this palace, this palace is never reasonable, only protects the shortcomings. She is my princess, the person I hold on the tip of my heart, and this palace is still reluctant to touch a single hair of her, and today she was beaten-"

"That's because she did something wrong, and my mother punished her!" Thinking that he almost made a move on Yu Ruyan just now, if he let Mu Lingzhi know, maybe he would have to cut his own tendons, thinking of this, Yu Mingzhu hated and feared.

While helping Concubine Lian, who was pale in pain, she couldn't help but defend herself to Mu Lingzhi.

"As soon as her tongue is cut off, she will be condemned, have you asked the opinion of this palace? But don't forget, she is now my princess, a member of the Great Liang, and you can't judge whether she is guilty or not. ”

"So, if you hit her, I'll cut your tendons, it's not a loss! What's more, before Concubine Lian Niangniang broke my mother's ten-fingered tendons without a single reason, I would have returned this gift to you a long time ago, and now you have to send it yourself, how can this palace not be perfect. ”

"You ......" Huo Xiang was already so angry that he could no longer maintain the apparent calm on his face, Tie Qing twisted, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you can kill but not humiliate, this person dares to insult the imperial concubine in front of him like this, no matter what his identity is, don't let it go!" ”

After that, he was so angry that with a wave of his hand, the guards around him surrounded Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan.

Mu Lingzhi's long sword was drawn slowly, and he sneered: "Since the palace came back from the battlefield, it has been a while since I fed my sword and drank blood, Huo Xiang wants to understand, I am very happy!" ”

But King Qi was afraid that he would make a big deal out of it, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop it, this is the palace, not a place for your private duel." ”

Concubine Lian's hands were broken at the veins, and she no longer had any strength, she got up from the ground fiercely, and cried to Qi Wangdao: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a concubine who has been with you for decades, and now she is being bullied by an outsider for no reason, please Your Majesty must be the master of the concubine." Otherwise, the concubine would have committed suicide with injustice! ”

Concubine Lian's words made King Qi's heart suffocated, over the years, Concubine Lian had been with him for the longest time, and she was also the most emotional, and now she saw her being picked on her tendons, and her heart was very unbearable, and when she heard her crying again, her heart was even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but turn a cold face to Mu Lingdao: "Although you are kind to me Daqi, you can't be so presumptuous and ruin her hands regardless of severity." If you do this, you are also slapping my face, even if you are the third prince of Daliang, I can't spare you this time! ”

"Huh!" Listening to King Qi's words, Mu Lingzhi smiled contemptuously and said coldly: "I have always heard that King Qi is the most partial to Concubine Lian's mother and daughter, and takes my face from inappropriate, bullying and oppressing from childhood to adulthood, and living a slave life with the status of a princess. But this palace solemnly tells you today, in your eyes she is worthless, but in the eyes of this palace, everything in the world is not as good as her, from now on, she is a person from this palace, this palace is heartbroken for her, and she must definitely protect her. Therefore, Concubine Lian hit her today, and I will never be polite. If the king of Qi wants to seek justice for Concubine Lian, this palace will accompany him to the end! ”

In the face of King Qi's anger, Mu Lingzhi did not back down at all, and he didn't say a word softly, the air in the small Jinying Palace was suffocated, and Mu Lingzhi pointed a cold sword at everyone!
