Chapter 41: Almost Dead

Qingyun was led into the Huaqing Hall by a eunuch.

Many candles were lit in the hall, and they were reflected in the various gold objects in the main hall, and the eyes of the people who illuminated them were dazzling.

The door behind him was slammed shut with a "bang", and the eunuch behind him disappeared in an instant.

Sharp-minded, she immediately felt danger coming, and she quickly turned around to open the door, only to find that the door was locked outside.

Suddenly, she smelled a strange aroma, and with her years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, she knew that it was a misty fragrance that would make people lose their strength.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and walked to the other end of the hall.

The hall was empty, and there was an eerie silence in the emptiness.

Qingyun suddenly felt that his heart was beating violently, his head was a little swollen, and his vision began to be a little foggy, and the candle flame in the hall seemed to have turned into a confused yellow.

She felt more and more weak and unable to take a step, so she had to tremble and press her hands on a desk and pant weakly.

Suddenly, her neck was stiffly entrapped by a thick rope, and the rope fell to the ground with great force, and her originally confused nerves suddenly tightened, and she cheered up, holding the rope around her neck with both hands and struggling frantically.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that it was actually two black-clothed eunuchs who were holding hemp ropes and strangling their necks.

She struggled hard, but the rope seemed to grow on her neck and melted into flesh, and she couldn't break free, seeing that her breathing was getting more and more sluggish, she reached out and scratched the ground in a hurry.

I didn't know what I caught, and slammed it hard into the black lady in my right hand

Prisoner, only to hear the man's muffled snort, the strength on the right suddenly loosened.

She got up and slammed the thing she was holding in her hand on the head of the eunuch on the left again, and then pulled out her legs and ran out desperately.

But the main hall has been locked, and it is impossible to get out. And she was also hit by Mi Xiang, and the strength left in her body was too limited.

"Don't let her run! Otherwise, the Queen Mother will blame us, and we can't afford to bear it! ”

A shrill and grim voice sounded behind him, and Qingyun desperately escaped from the pursuit of the two, and the three of them kept circling around the hall as if they were playing hide and seek.

One of the little eunuchs saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately blew a loud whistle, and in an instant, seven or eight eunuchs suddenly came out of nowhere, and they stopped Qingyun by dividing it by two.

"You're not a good runner! Now it's up to you how you run! Do it! ”

It was the annoying hemp rope again, the thick rope was strangled around the slender neck, and soon it was about to break the life of Qingyun, and she felt that her consciousness was blurring a little bit away, and the fear of death swept over.

I didn't expect her to die here today!

"Ahh "Ugh!" In a daze, there were many screams around her, and the rope that almost killed her was suddenly released.

She took a sharp breath with extreme greed, opened her eyes in shock, and found a dark figure kicking a eunuch to the ground.

"! Are you okay! "The moon that came after Ye Cheng ran over in a hurry and kicked away a eunuch who was blocking his path.

"It's good that you're here, otherwise you'd really die here today!" The neck was strangled too hard, making Qingyun's voice a little hoarse.

……

At this time, after the emperor went down, the little eunuch immediately told the emperor that Concubine Jin was recruited by the Queen Mother to the Faqing Palace.

The emperor was in a panic, and he hurried over without even having time to change his court clothes.

When I arrived at the Faqing Palace, I found that the hall was in a mess, all the ornaments in the hall were thrown to the ground in a mess, the broken porcelain slag and the torn warm gauze tent were scattered to the ground, and there were a few eunuchs who did not know whether to live or die lying on the ground.

Nangong Ling was very anxious in his heart, and walked towards the hall step by step with a solemn face, for fear that what he would see was Concubine Jin's cold corpse, he clenched his fist nervously, and his heart was almost hanging on the edge of the cliff.

When she found Qingyun standing behind Ye Cheng unharmed, she finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief, took Qingyun into her arms, and said excitedly: "Yao'er, you're okay, it's good that you're okay!" ”

"Your Majesty! These people want to kill me, they strangle me with ropes, if it weren't for the Ye guards coming, Your Majesty may never see the concubine again! Qingyun was full of horror and a strange tone with a crying tone, and poked into Nangong Ling's heart one by one.

Looking at the strangulation marks on her white neck, which had been soaked in blood, his heart shrank suddenly, and in his opinion, this strangulation marks were so shocking that he couldn't bear to look at them directly.

And at this moment, the colorless villain in his arms was trembling violently, which made Nangong Ling's heart throb violently.

He almost never saw her again, thankfully! Thankfully, she's still alive.

"Ye Cheng, well done!" Nangong Ling turned his head to Ye Cheng and said gratefully.

"It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to His Majesty!" Ye Cheng was slightly shocked in his heart, this was the first time His Majesty looked at him with such eyes, which really flattered him.

Nangong Ling was really afraid that someone would quietly take Concubine Jin's life without his precautions, so he took her back to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! Do they all want me dead? There was a trace of grievance and pain on her charming and moving face, and she looked at Nangong Ling sadly, "They are all forcing you to kill me, aren't they?" ”

"Yao'er!" Nangong Ling moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty! It's all bad for concubines! It was the concubine who embarrassed His Majesty! A deep layer of shame appeared on her delicate face, and she said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty! If the death of the concubine is exchanged for the loyalty of the courtiers and the stability of His Majesty, then the concubine would rather die! ”

Nangong Ling's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes stared at Qingyun sternly and angrily, and he shouted, "I don't allow you to say such things!" I will not sacrifice you! Never! ”

"But Your Majesty! The concubines really don't want to see His Majesty being persecuted by the courtiers for the sake of the concubines! Qingyun was already crying, and her face was full of tears.

The body was suddenly tightly embraced by a strong chest, Nangong Ling held Qingyun in his arms, eager to invade her into his own blood and bones, and his tone was very resolute, "No matter what!" I will not allow you to die! I will protect you even if I am broken to pieces! ”

His tone was resolute and resolute with anger, like a warm sun, shining straight into the bottom of Qingyun's heart, shooting through the transparent ice into the frozen heart.

At this moment, the light cloud seemed to hear the sound of ice cracking.

"Your Majesty! The military department is still the left cicada has something important to see! Just when the two were in love, Wang An suddenly came in anxiously and interrupted the beautiful picture in the hall.

"Pass him in!" Nangong Ling hurriedly put away the pity and gentleness on his face, and returned to his usual indifferent and majestic state.

"Your Majesty! Lord Zuo should have political affairs to discuss with His Majesty, and the concubines should avoid it! Qingyun Fufu retreated behind the golden silk Eight Immortal Screen behind the palace.

"The ministers are all cicadas, see Your Majesty!" Zuo Du Cicada rushed all the way to his forehead, and at this moment, a large bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes were full of excitement that he couldn't hide.

"I don't know what happened to Aiqing?" Nangong Ling's face was always indifferent and majestic, and he couldn't see the anxiety hidden in his heart at the moment.

"Your Majesty, this is an impeachment letter jointly written by dozens of ministers such as Taishi Ling Wei Guangnian, aiming to impeach the national teacher Chang Daoxin for embezzlement, bribery, and use of power to make a lot of money! This book is proof! ”

Zuo Ducian lowered his head and presented the recital and account book with both hands, and Wang An took it and handed it to Nangong Ling.

A hint of joy appeared on his indifferent and majestic face, Nangong Ling hurriedly took the fold and opened it to read, and after a while, he laughed happily, "Okay, good!" Zuodu cicada, you did a good job! In this way, what is there to fear from the words of the national teacher! Hahaha......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" Zuo Du Cicada saw that the emperor's dragon heart was happy, and his heart also became happy, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of joy.

"Zuo Du Cicada, tomorrow morning, you will join the rest of the people to impeach the national teacher for the crime! This time, I want to see how Xiao Bian Yu is going to get away with the common Dao heart! ”

There was unconcealed ecstasy in Nangong Ling's voice, and the gloom and resentment of the past few days seemed to be swept away by this impeachment book in an instant.

"Yes! Wechen obeys His Majesty's orders! Let's go back and discuss it with the rest of the people! Zuo Du Cicada saluted respectfully to the emperor and retreated step by step towards the outside of the hall.

"Report! Your Majesty! Good news from Mobei! A little eunuch in black hurriedly rushed to the hall with a thin bamboo tube in his hand.

Wang An immediately took the bamboo tube and presented it to the emperor with a respectful face.

opened the bamboo tube, took out the note, and the vigorous and fierce handwriting clearly fell on the white note, but it was obviously a great victory for the whole country to celebrate, Nangong Ling's face revealed more unwillingness and resentment in addition to surprise.

Mobei's surrender to Yihe means that the empress's younger brother, the empress's uncle, General Sun Zhisun, wants to return to the court.

Such a result is tantamount to giving the emperor a heavy blow in the battle between the emperor and the courtiers led by Xiao Bian Yu.

He hung his right hand weakly, and the good news fell gently on the carpet with the cracks between his fingers.

Nangong Ling waved his hand weakly and said, "Go down!" Let's all go down! ”

When everyone left the imperial study, Qingyun gradually walked out from behind the screen and called softly, "Your Majesty! ”

"I'm fine! I'm just a little tired! Looking at the light clouds approaching step by step, Nangong Ling reluctantly squeezed out an ugly smile on his stiff face.

"The defeat of Mobei, Your Majesty should be happy, at least the people at the border can suffer a lot less!" Qingyun comforted him softly.

Nangong Ling touched her black bun, hugged her tightly in his arms, exhaled deeply, and was about to speak, but heard the shrill voice of another eunuch.

"Your Majesty......"

Before the little eunuch finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Nangong Ling, "What's the matter!" ”

Seeing that His Majesty was already angry, the little eunuch's heart was so frightened that his heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty!" It was the Queen Mother who asked Her Majesty to move to Kangsheng Palace! ”

Nangong Ling's dark and deep pupils shrank suddenly, a trace of coldness appeared on his face, and he glanced coldly at the little eunuch below, and said, "Got it!" Step aside! ”
