As soon as the murderous words came out, Luo Qingluan knew that this sudden outbreak of the kidnapping of the emperor and queen was actually aimed at her and Nalan Ye!
Suddenly, a wave of anger rose, and Luo Qingluan's face sank.
I didn't want to come to the welcome banquet at all, if it wasn't for the Holy Decree of the Southern Wei Emperor and his sincere words, how could she and Nalan Ye encounter tonight's? I didn't like to see Bai Yixuan, as well as those Southern Wei courtiers who had different hearts...... If it weren't for the Southern Wei Emperor's face, it would be simply!
Turning his head, Luo Qingluan was about to say something to Nalan Ye, but he saw that he looked indifferent, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, as if the tense tension in front of him was just a good show for him.
Such a confident and relaxed expression suddenly seemed like a fresh breeze blowing slowly in spring, which made Luo Qingluan's impatience disappear. Yes, she is with Nalan Ye, so why worry about this? As long as she has him by her side, she doesn't have to worry about anything, always.
At this time, an angry shout sounded, and Lin Yixuan pointed at Gonggong Cai and said sharply: "Bold Cai Ping, do you know what you are doing?" Holding the Son of Heaven hostage is a capital crime, and you dare to threaten the Son of Heaven? Don't hurry up and catch it, or you won't be able to escape the fate of a thousand cuts! โ
There were also many people among the ministers who had the courage to shout angrily and asked Gonggong Cai to stop, saying that he was bold and reckless and didn't want to live anymore. Some people also said that there must be a mastermind behind him, and he must not let it go, after all, there is a forbidden army on the side, and he is besieged by groups, even if Gonggong Cai holds the emperor hostage, he will definitely not be able to escape. The more you speak, the more faithful you become.
Even Bai Yixuan looked discolored, staggering away, although she didn't scream, her face changed greatly, compared with a group of timid noblewomen, there was no flaw at all.
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, since the old slave has even done such a thing, does he still care about death?"
Gonggong Cai's face showed a sense of righteousness and awe: "The old slave did this, but for the sake of the Southern Wei Dynasty and to wake up Your Majesty!" Western Chu was eyeing the tiger, and even North Vietnam was annexed, and this most terrible enemy was Nalan Ye, the king of Chu! For the sake of His Majesty and the country of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the old slave had no choice but to make this decision. โ
Suddenly, the dagger in his hand tightened, and he shouted in a heart-splitting voice: "Everyone listen, kill Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan immediately, otherwise the miscellaneous family will be welcome!" โ
"It's just presumptuous, Cai Ping, you keep saying that for the sake of the Southern Wei Dynasty and for Your Majesty, why don't you speak in private, and you have to do such a rebellious thing in public? Kill the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, you haven't thought about the consequences? I Southern Wei and Western Chu have formed an alliance, how can it be destroyed because of a slave like you! โ
After speaking, he turned around and pointed a sword from the waist of the forbidden army behind him at Cai Ping: "This king said one last time, let go of the father and the queen mother, otherwise this king will give an order, and you will be splashed with blood on the spot!" โ
"Yes, let go of Your Majesty, let go of your mother! You dog minion, you must be torn to pieces! โ
"Cai Ping, you are a dog minion, you actually made trouble!"
Everyone shouted angrily, the whole hall was in chaos, all kinds of cases were pushed in panic, the cups, plates and wine jugs spilled on the ground fell to pieces, the soup and vegetable juice overflowed, and people trampled on it. And the forbidden soldiers stood with guns, a Gonggong Cai and a palace maid were nothing to them, but they didn't dare to move without permission, and they were at a stalemate for a while.
After a while, Empress Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.
The sweat was rolling down, the abdominal pain was not stopping, but the strength was getting weaker and weaker. She wasn't standing at all, if it weren't for the palace maid holding her behind her and her arms imprisoned around her waist, I was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground.
But this kind of action made her even more uncomfortable. She is no longer a woman, but after all, she is also the queen of the queen, the other party seems to be a palace maid, but her strength is amazing. Her arms strangled her like a rope, her bones ached faintly, she wanted to struggle to resist, but she had no strength at all, not to mention the dagger around her neck, and her skin could almost feel the edge of the knife.
However, the Southern Wei Emperor was aggrieved and angry.
The dignified emperor was actually held hostage in front of his ministers, and the person who did it was still a confidant he had trusted for more than 20 years, isn't this a slap in the face? He was so immeasurable that he could barely see a little of Cai Ping's side face, and he held back a sentence in a dumb voice: "Cai, Cai Ping, I will definitely not do what you want, if you have the guts, you will kill me......"
Before the words fell, Cai Pingyin said compassionately: "Your Majesty really dare to be an old slave?" โ
The dagger in his hand suddenly moved, and slammed into the arm of the Southern Wei Emperor, this time the action was amazingly fast, and before everyone could react, the Southern Wei Emperor screamed like a pig: "Ah-"
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? โ
"Cai Ping, you dog minion, you actually hurt Your Majesty!"
At the same time, Empress Xiao's face turned pale, and she finally fell softly, and the ministers exclaimed again: "The queen is ...... mother."
The main hall suddenly boiled the pot, and Cai Ping made a move, and everyone finally knew that he was definitely not joking. A eunuch actually held the emperor hostage, needless to say, but now everyone can't do it, just afraid that Cai Ping will really hurt the Southern Wei Emperor. Screams rang out, and the forbidden soldiers stepped forward, murderous, but still no one dared to make the first move.
"Come on, come on! If anyone dares to come, I will kill Your Majesty!" โ
Gonggong Cai was like crazy, the bloody dagger was still on the throat of the Southern Wei Emperor, but the wound on the arm of the Southern Wei Emperor was bleeding endlessly, but it had already dyed the dragon robe red in a moment.
The palace maid who held Queen Xiao hostage was also unceremonious, and as soon as she picked up the fainting Queen Xiao, she slapped Queen Xiao's delicate face twice. Everyone screamed again, but the palace maid was not timid, but lifted Queen Xiao's clothes with a grim face, and still aimed a dagger at her throat.
The throat is a fatal place, once it is cut and causes massive bleeding, even the most clever imperial doctor cannot save it!
With such a crisp and neat method, everyone was even more shocked and panicked, and they almost fainted.
"Kill or not, you can't do it?" Cai Ping held the Southern Wei Emperor hostage and started a new round of threats, and when he had confirmed that he would definitely attack, this threat was particularly thrilling: "Hurry up and kill Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan!" There are so many people present, and there are forbidden troops, if you don't do it again, if Your Majesty has any three strengths and two weaknesses, it will be you who will be killed! โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone finally panicked and looked at Nalan Ye one after another.
"King Chu, look at this ......" A Southern Wei minister looked at Nalan Ye nervously, helpless.
The secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Wei Dynasty was even more flustered, and the old man cried with tears: "Lord Chu Wang, please save our Majesty!" If it weren't for you, Your Majesty wouldn't have been held hostage by these minions......"
The military department Shangshu had an ugly face, and his voice was low: "Lord Chu Wang, you see that our majesty is being held hostage now, and this matter is all because of you, why are you still stunned here and don't even say a word?" Do you really want to watch our Majesty have an accident before you are happy? โ
Luo Qingluan was unhappy, this matter had nothing to do with them, they were also unlucky, and they came to a banquet to encounter this kind of thing. Before, she wanted to see how these people solved it, but she didn't expect that as soon as she was threatened, these Southern Wei ministers turned their guns.
"It's not Your Majesty who is held hostage by the King of Chu, how can you say that? As guests, the King of Chu and I were frightened by your people, and we didn't speak, and you still asked us how we were? Is it really right to ask the king of Chu to send him to death, exchange his life for his life, and save your majesty? โ
Unexpectedly, this Princess Chu spoke unceremoniously, and the face of the military department sank, and he shouted: "Shouldn't it?" If it is your majesty of Western Chu who is being held hostage, could it be that the king of Chu, as a courtier, watched the gangsters commit murder and evil? โ
Luo Qingluan sneered: "We in Xichu are not as messy as you!" โ
The military department was stunned and speechless, but at this moment, Bai Yixuan pounced and seemed to be unstable and prostrate at Luo Qingluan's feet: "Princess Chu...... King of Chu ......"
She glanced up at Nalan Ye pitifully, and said as if she had made up her mind: "Please, can you save my father and queen mother?" As long as you can save my father and queen mother, let me do anything......"
Showing filial piety is a must, this is a critical time, and if she doesn't say anything, it's definitely a problem. After thinking about it, Bai Yixuan immediately started acting, crying panicked and eager.
"Ask the King of Chu and Princess Chu to save our Majesty......" At the same time, countless ministers bowed to Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan, and said in unison.
"Aha, yes, that's right."
Gonggong Cai laughed when he heard this: "Your lords should ask for this, as long as the King of Chu is willing to wipe his neck and commit suicide, the miscellaneous family will immediately release His Majesty." By the way, the miscellaneous family also forgot to tell your lords, you can ask to hurry up, in order to ensure that Your Majesty and Niangniang do not resist, the miscellaneous family has drugged Your Majesty and Niangniang, but I am afraid that it will not last long, hahaha......"
"Cai Ping, you are so despicable! The old man is going to kill you......"
"Dog minion, you're going to be punished by the Nine Clans! Don't let go of Your Majesty and Niangniang soon! โ
The faces of the rest of the people changed, and everyone looked at Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan.
Now, the lives of His Majesty and Niangniang are controlled by these two people. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would have rushed up a long time ago, and I would have tied it up first, and then I would have to make amends to him afterwards. But now it's different, not to mention doing it, even the idea of wanting to do it flashed, just one glance at Nalan Ye's eyes, and he was shuddered.
How dare they?
But if you don't do it, Your Majesty and Niangniang's lives will really ......
At this time, even Luo Qingluan couldn't help but feel hanging. If these Southern Wei ministers really rushed up, not to mention whether they could retreat with their whole body, if it was true that the eunuch injured the Southern Wei Emperor, this situation would ......
"Nalan Ye......" Luo Qingluan squeezed Nalan Ye's hand, and was about to whisper to him, when he heard Nalan Ye's warm voice become cold: "So, do you really want to use this king and princess to exchange the life and death of your majesty and Niangniang?" โ
