Chapter 220: Slaughtering the Village
Hua Qingrao felt that her sky had fallen, and she always thought that as long as Zhao Yu didn't drink the poisoned wine, they could avoid Gao Qixuan. But from beginning to end, Gao Qixuan never believed her, she was just a bait to kill Zhao Yu. It's ridiculously stupid to think about what she's done before.
"Even if I don't do it, one day he will die at your hands." Gao Qixuan looked down at her condescendingly and said coldly.
Hua Qingrao didn't dare to look down at Zhao Yu anymore, her heart was as anxious as if she was being fried on oil at the moment.
Gao Qixuan waved his hand slightly, and the black-clothed people around him came up, dragging Hua Qingrao up and separating Zhao Yu's corpse.
Hua Qingrao's eyes were flustered, and her limbs swayed with teeth and claws, trying to get rid of this control.
The chill in Gao Qixuan's eyes became even colder, "Throw him into the woods." ”
Hua Qingrao looked at him in disbelief, Zhao Yu's body was carried away a little bit, she finally couldn't control her emotions, and yelled hysterically: "You can't do this!" Gao Qixuan! I hate you! ”
Gao Qixuan turned her head, and her cold eyes without a trace of temperature reflected that she was like an unkempt shrew at the moment.
"You call, you call a few people, and I will kill a few people. You call the whole village, and I will slaughter the whole village. He uttered it with a blank face, like a devil crawling up from hell.
Hua Qingrao knew that he was not joking, so she was silent, and her scarlet eyes stared at him deadly. "When he dies, my heart dies with it, what's the use of you wanting to drive a shell without a heart."
Gao Qixuan leaned down, his face softened, and wiped the blood and mud stains on her face with her sleeve, but she turned her head and dodged. "Even if it is to drive the shell, I will tie you to my side for the rest of my life, so that I will win him."
Hua Qingrao sneered, her face full of mockery, "Gao Qixuan, you are a madman!" It's a devil! ”
Gao Qixuan's deep black eyes stared at her for a while, and he flicked his sleeves and got up indifferently, "Bring the queen back to me!" ”
At the end, he added: "If the queen drags on for a point, she will kill a household until the village is slaughtered!" ”
The man in black beside Hua Qingrao said softly: "Niangniang..."
Hua Qingrao swallowed her saliva, interrupted their words, and struggled to get up with the last bit of strength in her body, "I'll go by myself!" ”
Every step you take is like walking on a knife edge. As soon as she thought that Zhao Yu would leave her like this, tears would flow endlessly. She gritted her teeth and forced back all her weakness.
She didn't even know how she got back to the palace, the whole person was like a walking corpse, and she no longer had a soul.
Jinlan watched the emperor bring back the queen mother who was covered in mud and faintly covered in blood, and there was nothing but shock on her face.
Gao Qixuan glanced at Hua Qingrao, who walked into the room mechanically, his brows were furrowed, and he commanded in a cold voice, "Take care of her." Then he turned around and walked away without hesitation.
After Jinlan leaned over, she walked quickly to Hua Qingrao's side in a panic to check the situation, "Niangniang! She called softly.
Hua Qingrao heard the voice, and turned her head to look at her mechanically, without any expression on her muddy face, and her eyes were also sloppy and lifeless.
Jinping was shocked by her appearance, covered her mouth and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”
Everyone's eyes were full of sadness, they just knew that the queen mother had disappeared inexplicably for a month, but they didn't know what was going on.
Hui Ping looked at Hua Qingrao up and down, and said softly to Jinlan: "Auntie, let's freshen up my mother." ”
Jinlan's eyes became more and more solemn, nodded, and turned her head to order the palace people to prepare hot water.
When she took off the coarse cloth clothes for Hua Qingrao, the rough texture made her fingers stagnate. I'm afraid that this material can't even compare to the clothes of the last palace maid in the palace, where did the mother go.
The hot water with flower petals gradually became turbid, and after bathing, Hua Qingrao was like a lifeless puppet doll at their mercy and put on the queen's palace clothes.
Jinlan carefully smoothed the folds on it for her, if it was according to the past, Niangniang would have crushed this dress and would not have worn it.
Jin Ping looked at Hua Qingrao's current appearance and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Niangniang is so beautiful now!" ”
Hui Ping laughed and said: "When is Niangniang not beautiful!" ”
This queen's palace dress did fit Hua Qingrao's body very well, but Jinlan didn't speak, just carefully helped her to sit in front of the mirror. "Mother, this dress is the most suitable for you."
Hua Qingrao's eyes stared straight at the person in the mirror, and the red palace dress was embroidered with a golden phoenix, which really made her skin fairer and more moving.
The mask on her face crumbled slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneering smile, "It's really dazzling." ”
Hui Ping and Jin Ping didn't hear the meaning of her words, but when they saw her speak, their faces were happy, and they all admired in their hearts that their aunt had a way.
But the gloom on Jinlan's face was unfolding, and she said softly: "Niangniang is tired from running all the way, let's rest first." ”
Hua Qingrao took her eyes off the person in the mirror, turned her head and ordered, "Go and prepare a plain clothes, a soft futon and a Buddha statue for me." ”
Her voice was neither high nor light, but unmistakable.
Jinlan was silent for a while, then turned her head and ordered Jinping and Huiping: "Don't go yet." ”
Seeing them walk out of the room, he hurriedly chased after them, and said in a low voice: "It's better to inform the emperor about this matter." ”
Hua Qingrao changed from a bright red palace dress to a white and flawless plain clothes, and the whole person faded a little more gorgeous and a little more fresh.
She knelt on the soft futon and closed her eyes, looking at the Buddha statue with a reverent expression.
Jinlan accompanied her silently, although she had already sent someone to the emperor to send a letter, but Zichen Hall did not move for a long time.
It wasn't until Hua Qingrao knelt on the soft futon for a day and a night, her face and lips were already pale, and even the palace people around her couldn't stand it anymore, that Gao Qixuan rushed to Weiyang Palace with an angry face.
He glared angrily at Hua Qingrao, who was chanting the scriptures with his eyes closed, and the entire hall of Weiyang Palace was full of clouds and mist. His eyes were cold, and he couldn't stop his anger and said, "What are you doing!" When he dies, you have to keep filial piety for him, right? ”
Hua Qingrao ignored him, and the words in her mouth did not stop.
This made Gao Qixuan angry all of a sudden, and he waved his hand to knock the Buddha statue to the ground, and the violent sound of "crumbling" shook the heavens and ears. Ignoring Hua Qingrao's weak body, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her straight from the ground, "It's not enough for me to acquiesce to you for a day and a night!" ”
The palace attendants in the hall all gasped as he moved, and lowered their heads for fear that one would be bad and lead the holy wrath to themselves.
Hua Qing's creamy snow wrist was already slightly red, she slowly opened her eyes, which were full of tired bloodshots, "My wife has been guarding her husband for three days and three nights, does the emperor have any opinions?" ”
The fire in Gao Qixuan's eyes was instantly ignited by her words, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, already furious, "You are really loyal to him!" ”
Jinlan saw this situation, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "The emperor is angry, Niangniang is weak now, please spare this time." She kowtowed to the ground as she spoke.
