Chapter 166: Destroying the Door
The disharmony in the Fengling Palace, like a wisp of plum fragrance in winter, soon blew into the Fengluan Hall along the cold wind.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid stood on the Windward Pavilion and saw Chu Peiyuan enter the Fengling Palace, behind Princess Ziyang." Shu Manmei showed a sense of pride in his heart: "The slave maid has already made people keep an eye on Princess Ziyang, and they can do it when the queen's people leave the palace." ”
"If you can do this well this time, the mourning family will not be held accountable for the previous mistakes." The Queen Mother smiled softly and stretched her lips slightly.
"The Queen Mother can give the slave and maid this opportunity to atone for her sins, and the slave and maid will definitely not let you down." Schumann smiled lightly: "It's the slave maid who is worried about one thing, although Concubine Gong is grounded, but after all, she knows the identity of the slave maid." If she turns against each other in the future and exposes the slaves, wouldn't it be cheaper for the queen. Does the Queen Mother consider completely eliminating the hidden dangers of this matter? ”
"There's no hurry." The Queen Mother looked at her slightly, and said: "Lei Zhen has been by the side of the mourning family for many years, and she knows that there are many things in the mourning family, and there is more than this. Let her live, just to share some of the queen's power. Her life has always been in the hands of the mourners. ”
"The slave and maid understand." If so, Schumann will not go on.
"In short, it is important to completely remove the threat before the emperor notices this." The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved slightly, and her tone was cool: "This is a matter of life." ”
"The Queen Mother ......" Outside was the voice of Jin Qu, the inner attendant: "General Chu is out of the palace, and the queen's mother is following behind." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said in a cold tone.
"The slave and maid retired first." Schumann had confidence in his eyes, saluted, and walked away quickly.
Cen Muning was uneasy in the palace, and it happened that the concubines came to her palace to ask for peace and tell them about the reunion banquet.
How did she know that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and in an unsuspecting situation, she was just caught up in a whirlpool.
Bingling led the people and successfully tracked down Chu Peiyuan's outer house.
Although it is said that the Chu family is a military general, this outer house is only guarded by Chu Peiyuan's trusted family, and not a single soldier of the Chu family is used. is so low-key, it is not difficult to see that Chu Peiyuan really wants to protect that woman.
When he entered, the door was bolted tightly, as if he was deliberately trying to block everything outside, and he didn't want the people inside to have the slightest restlessness.
"Come on, I'm back." Chu Peiyuan walked into the inner room quickly, and saw the familiar figure concentrating by the window, and his heart was slightly hot. "Are you waiting for me? I didn't tell you, but if you are tired, just rest. Your body hasn't been recuperated yet, so don't worry about being weaker at this time. ”
"If you don't come back, I'm always at ease." Lai Xi looked into his eyes with a smile: "Are things in the palace going well today?" ”
"It's fine." Chu Peiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I bought a garden elsewhere, and it is being repaired at this time. Shall we move in a few days? ”
"Why?" looked at him in bewilderment, but suddenly understood something. "Am I causing you trouble? Actually, I can ......."
His fingers gently touched her cold lips: "What yours and mine, I live to protect you." Without you, that's my biggest problem. ”
Laixi smiled lightly and leaned lightly on his chest. "Thank you for being so nice to me."
"Silly girl, I don't treat you well at all. If it's good, it won't make you suffer so much. Chu Peiyuan blamed himself. I wanted to say something intimate to her, but suddenly I heard a movement outside the door. "Who is it?"
"General, the housekeeper of the main house came, saying that on the way back to the house, the eldest princess fell from the carriage and was injured. The old general told you to hurry back. The attendant was open the door, his tone full of concern.
"How could you fall off the carriage?" Chu Peiyuan was very unhappy, thinking of the queen's words today, he felt that Ziyang was troublesome. "Let the house invite a royal doctor for her to come and take a look."
"General......" The entourage hesitated a little before he went on again: "The old general said, if you don't go back, he will come and invite him personally." ”
"Brother Peiyuan, go back and see the eldest princess." Lai Xi smiled slightly: "She must be very scared when she falls from the carriage." If you hurt anywhere again, I naturally hope that you are by your side. I'm fine here, I'm going to be fine. ”
"No." Chu Peiyuan frowned and said, "I don't want to go back to face her." ”
"I know you've treated me wonderfully." Lai Xi frowned slightly: "But the eldest princess is your wife after all." Even if I become a member of the Chu family in the future, she is also a wife, and I am a concubine, how can I not respect her and break the rules. If you refuse to go back, she will definitely have to worry that I don't allow it, and if we meet in the future, the relationship will not be good. It's all about you, okay? ”
"Then ......" Chu Peiyuan saw that she was so sensible, and it was not easy to refuse. All right. I just wronged you. In my heart, you are my wife. It's not a concubine, it's not a house, it's the only wife I recognize. ”
Lai Xi smiled shyly and lowered his head gently.
"You wait for me, I'll be back soon." Chu Peiyuan gently held her fingers, and then turned to leave.
Lai Xi raised his head and looked at the door that was closed again, the smile on his face gradually converged, but the cold light under his eyes slowly came out. "Who is rare to be your wife, Chu Peiyuan, you also underestimate me too much."
Chu Peiyuan left the outer house with his front feet, and Bingling then led people to sneak in.
The layout of the house was also simple, and there were not many people guarding it, so it was easy to find the most important inner room.
Lai Xi heard the unusual movement outside, took a black veil, and covered his face.
"Since you're here, let's come in and talk." She pulled the dagger out from under her pillow and hid it in her sleeve.
Bingling is naturally not defenseless, she is wearing simple clothes, and she also covers her face. When they came in, the entourage cautiously closed the door.
"Just the three of you?" It's a little strange: "Three people, just want to come to take my life, will you be too hasty?" ”
"What do you say?" Bingling pulled out a stack of silver tickets from her arms and placed them on the table beside her. "Our master doesn't want you to stay in the Imperial City, why do you want to come back? This money can also be regarded as a good future for you, so while you can still get out of the way, hurry up. ”
"Then I would like to ask, who is your master?" I can't help but wonder, there are countless people who want her life, but the ones who give her money are really rare, which greatly arouses her interest.
"Don't care too much, just take the money and leave quickly." If he hadn't acted on orders, Bingling would have really wanted to solve this woman with one sword. As long as she died, she naturally came into contact with the crisis of the royal family and the Chu family. The queen will not be caught in the middle and difficult to do.
"If you take the silver back, I won't leave." Lai Xi smiled slightly, but unfortunately his face was covered by the black veil, and he couldn't see how resolute this smile was.
"What do you want?" Before Bingling's words fell, there was the sound of blades clashing outside.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, and a group of people surrounded the entire wing room with astonishing speed. Before the people inside could react, poisonous arrows shot in from all directions.
The two men who followed Bingling almost did not resist before they were killed by poisoned arrows.
Bingling and Laixi dodged nimble, hiding where they could bend down, observing the movement outside the window.
However, the poisoned arrows did not stop, and even became more and more intensive. It's hard to guard against.
Seeing that he was invincible, he laughed coldly: "Are you so impatient to want me to die?" What good will it do you if I die? ”
Hearing this, the men outside suddenly burst in.
The blade in his hand was also smeared with poison, and he rushed in and attacked the remaining two people in the room.
Bingling was besieged by several people, and it was difficult to deal with it: "You are bold enough to kill people in broad daylight." ”
"Well......" came to regret the pain in his shoulder, and the whole person fell to the ground. Originally, the injuries on her body were not healed, but this time the other party tried his best to kill her, how could she get out of the way. "I won't let you go."
"If you have such a scene, save it for going to the Netherworld Mansion to talk to Lord Yama." The woman who came in at the end made a gesture, and she was stabbed in the neck. There was no sound on the spot.
Bingling watched these people kill her, but there was nothing she could do, after all, at this time, she was also injured. The wound was very painful because it was contaminated with poison. "Who are you......
"The one who made you a scapegoat." The woman chuckled and ordered someone to carry her away, so that she could make time to talk to Bingling. "The queen's mother, died in Chu Peiyuan's outer house, and when he came back to find that he had come to regret his life, do you think she would resent the queen?"
These words came out of her mouth, and Bingling immediately understood: "You are the Queen Mother's person, you are ...... You are Schumann. ”
"Girl has a good memory." Schumann took off the light veil that covered his face, revealing his true face. "It's hard for you to remember me. It's not in vain that I'll give you a ride myself. ”
"If the queen mother knew the truth, she would never let you go......" Bingling gritted her teeth, but the cold sweat on her forehead became denser and denser.
"The Queen Mother will never know what is happening today. Because no one who knows about this can leave this room. After saying this, she took out the silk and shook it gently.
Fang just fought with Bingling, and the people who killed the pity all fell down in an instant, like poisoned rats, foaming at the mouth and convulsing non-stop.
"Crazy." Bingling gasped: "You don't even let go of your own people......"
"This is how the Queen Mother can get to where she is today." Schumann looked at her increasingly black lips and smiled brightly: "You should be working hard now, right?" If you don't worry, wait for your breath, and the pain will be over. It's a pity that you look so handsome. ”
"Why do you want to do this......" Bingling's voice was already faint.
"That's it, I'll be a good person to the end, so that you can die blindly. You can also be regarded as the phoenix position of the first emperor, and you can kill it to blame you, killing two birds with one stone. She finished and blew lightly on Bingling.
Bingling lost her center of gravity, and the whole person fell to the ground, as if there was a fire burning in her chest, and she couldn't make a sound in pain.
"Now I can go back on an errand." Schumann smiled with satisfaction, put his veil back on, and left the place neatly.
