"Damn it!"

Concubine Duan cursed in a low voice, and was about to get up to find a way, but unexpectedly, four big eunuchs and two grandmothers had already broken in.

Their faces were like iron, they glanced at the room, and finally their eyes quickly locked on the big girl who was kneeling on the ground, "Tie me up!" ”

"What are you going to do?!" The big girl wanted to hide behind Concubine Duan in a hurry, but the two grandmothers grabbed her hair, pulled it back, and the big girl immediately fell to the ground in pain.

Concubine Duan looked at it and slapped the table suddenly, "It's the opposite!" ”

The four big eunuchs walked up to her side, bent down and saluted, "This is the queen's decree, I hope Concubine Duan will cooperate." ”

Then they turned to Mama and said, "Hold her!" ”

"Help, mother, help!" The big girl resisted desperately, and Mama immediately slapped her one by one, and on the spot she was hit so that the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, and she fell to the ground dizzy.

Two big eunuchs stepped forward, one holding down one foot.

The other two big eunuchs immediately walked over, pinched her mouth, and poured a pot of wine into her mouth violently.

She struggled desperately, her eyes widened, and before she could shout a word of injustice, she was blocked by the wine and all the truth.

Concubine Duan watched in shock, her fingers clasped tightly on the table, and she sat on the soft couch weakly, her face extremely pale.

Zhuang Nanyan couldn't bear to look directly, bit his lower lip, and turned his gaze.

A pot of poisonous wine was in the stomach, and before half a cup of tea was done, I saw that the big girl was struggling even more, but this time it was not a subjective desire to escape, but out of the body's painful instinct.

Concubine Duan watched as black blood kept coming out of her mouth, and her eyes were dilated little by little, and it didn't take long for her to stop struggling.

The big eunuch and the grandmother let go of their hands, and saw the big girl's body lying straight on the ground, and soon became cold.

After performing the task, the big eunuch and the grandmother saluted the soulless concubine, and then withdrew from Qinxizhai, coming and going like the wind, as if nothing had happened.

Zhuang Nanyan covered the corners of his mouth and sobbed softly.

Concubine Duan was slumped on the soft couch, staring at the maid who had been with her for more than ten years, unable to say a word.

It's night, and it's as cool as water.

The backyard of the royal palace.

On top of a vast lake, a pavilion stands alone, surrounded by lotus flowers, and the breeze blows, sending wisps of lotus fragrance.

Under the moonlight, the lotus flowers are white and flawless, embellished with a little powder, more and more feminine, standing in the layers of lotus leaves, like a fair fairy.

In the pavilion, Zhuang Nanyan was wearing a smoky purple long gauze skirt with long hair slightly together, and opposite her was Feng Lingye in a plain white long skirt.

It is rare for the two of them to sit together calmly and enjoy the night scene together, and Feng Lingye also feels like this.

Feng Lingye is not an ordinary woman, Zhuang Nanyan can't fight her whether she fights hard or outwitts, so she has to change her strategy, so she has this picture tonight.

"You are the princess, I am the side concubine, no matter how hard I try, I can't change this matter." Zhuang Nanyan took the porcelain pot, poured a cup of herbal tea for her, and then looked at the lake, "I don't want you to be embarrassed, I was forced to do all this." ”

She had said so much that tonight she finally spoke her mind.

She smiled, with a touch of bitterness, "If it weren't for the emperor's holy decree, you wouldn't have come to the palace to be insulted, and I, as the daughter of the banker, wouldn't just be a side room." All I do these days is try to get the glory I deserve. ”

"I don't mean to blame you by saying this." She looked at Feng Lingye, who had a calm face, "Everything is to make people, we are just trying to live better." ”

Feng Lingye didn't reply, only quietly listened to her "confession".

She sighed slightly, "I married into the palace for only one purpose, and one is the same purpose as the prince." Now because of you, that purpose will be ruined. I can understand that all this is not your intention, you are just an innocent person who has been involved in this struggle for imperial power, and your efforts are nothing more than to live with more dignity, or even to live. ”

Feng Lingye held the teacup and turned it slightly.

She is right, there is no interest, there is no fighting, and no one likes to cheat. It's a pity that the moment she appeared in the palace, it was destined to be a stumbling block between her and Duan Junmo, and they were opposed from the beginning.

She stared at Feng Lingye with burning eyes, and her tone was earnest, "As long as you are willing to quit, I am willing to end this meaningless battle." ”

Feng Lingye looked at the night sky in the distance, his eyes were far away, "You let me, how to exit?" ”

"I know what you think, you just want to stay away from right and wrong with your relatives, it's not difficult, as long as you promise me two conditions, I will help you realize this wish." Zhuang Nanyan said sincerely.

Feng Lingye's red lips pursed slightly, "Which two conditions?" ”

Zhuang Nanyan met her eyes straight, "One, cut off the prince's thoughts about you, and two, within a year, leave the palace." ”

Her apricot eyes sank slightly, "I can't control what the prince thinks, and I can't do this condition." Within a year, if you can save all my relatives for me, I will leave the palace on my own without your request. ”

"So, you agreed?" Zhuang Nanyan was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to agree so easily.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, "You first do what you said, and then come to me to fulfill my promise." ”

With that, she put down her teacup and got up and walked out of the gazebo.

When she walked to the lakeside, she saw Duan Junmo's figure under a willow tree.

He watched her from afar, and for a long time, he beckoned to her, motioning to pass.

She frowned slightly, but walked over anyway.

Under the bright moonlight of the lakeside, the willows are still clinging, brushing over the human face, elegant and quiet.

He stood in front of her, his hands folded.

"This hunt, this king will take you." He said lightly.

She curled the corners of her lips coldly, "The prince is bothered, this hunt, the concubine doesn't want to go." ”

"It's not early, tomorrow the concubine will be busy with the affairs of Baishantang, so she won't accompany the prince to enjoy the scenery." She turned and was about to leave.

He didn't take two steps before his deep, slightly magnetic voice came out, "Your mother will go too." ”

Mother......

She paused, her brows furrowed deeply.

He turned around and looked at her thin back, his phoenix eyes indifferent, "When the time comes, this king will find a way for you to meet your mother." ”

"No need." She suddenly interrupted in a cold voice, realizing that she was out of shape, and softened her tone again, "The prince doesn't have to be so concerned about the affairs of the concubine, I am just a prisoner, I am fortunate to be able to sit in this position, what is the identity of the concubine, the concubine knows." ”

"You don't have to be presumptuous, you weren't born a prisoner." There was a hint of complicated emotions in his indifferent tone, "When the situation is stable, this king will give you the title and status that the princess deserves."

Feng Lingye smiled, there was no ripple in his heart, and he only replied indifferently: "Don't worry, although the concubine is close to the queen, she will never do anything that will damage the future of the prince, and the prince can rest assured of this."

"You...... You really don't understand what I mean? He frowned slightly, staring into her eyes.

Her apricot eyes were calm, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she smiled lightly like the wind, "What if the concubine wants not the position of the princess, but the position of the queen?" ”

His eyes froze.

That night, she was there?

"The prince and Concubine Qin are fellow travelers, what the concubine wants, the prince can't give it, what the prince wants, the concubine doesn't want it." She slowly retracted her smile, turned around indifferently, and slowly left the shore of Yangliu Lake.

Under the cold night, Duan Junmo stood alone in place, with a pair of phoenix eyes like the night, as deep as the sea.

A few days later.

The annual hunt is finally coming, and the princes and nobles are actively preparing their luggage on the road. For a while, the streets and alleys were full of people from the mansion who were shuttling back and forth.

For the ladies and sons who have not been able to go out of the palace and the palace for a long time, they can go out of the palace to breathe different air, and they all feel happy and relaxed. Even the maid minions who were included in the ranks of the team were extremely excited.

For them, this is just an opportunity to experience a new life, but for Feng Lingye, it has become of great significance, whether she can meet Feng Mu in advance, this will be the most critical opportunity.

On this day, a huge team that had been preparing for more than half a month finally slowly walked out of the city gate under the leadership of the emperor.

In the whole procession, the royal family was the leader, followed by the ministers and their dependents. The front, sides, and ends were strictly guarded by infantry and cavalry.

The journey takes three days, just in the evening of the third day, and a night's rest on the way, which is the itinerary of the hunt every year, and it has never changed.

The list of harem concubines to go hunting, except for the emperor himself, the rest was arranged by the queen, and this time, Concubine Duan "just happened" to be ignored by both of them.

After the royal drive, it was followed by the carriage of Duan Junmo and several other princes and princesses, because Duan Junmo was the only prince with a title, so compared to other princes, he was in the front.

Feng Lingye, Zhuang Nanyan and Xi Xueyao shared a carriage, and the maids and servants all walked on both sides of the carriage.

"Sister Qinfei, let's play chess, shall we?" Xi Xueyao invited affectionately.

Zhuang Nanyan smiled apologetically, "Sister Yao, I have some motion sickness, and when I get to Jiangyin Mountain, I will definitely accompany you." ”

Xi Xueyao pursed her mouth, then looked at Feng Lingye who closed her eyes and took a nap, and sneered, "Thousands of calculations, I didn't expect to sit in the same carriage with the pig!" ”

"Sister Yao, have you ever heard the idiom 'a nest of snakes and rats'?" Feng Lingye closed his eyes and said slowly.

"You!" Xi Xueyao pointed at her and blushed angrily.

In terms of bickering, Xi Xueyao is not Feng Lingye's opponent at all, whether it is Feng Lingye's light and breezy expression itself is very annoying, or the words she said lightly, although it does not contain a dirty word, it can scold you speechless.

Boredom, she opened the curtain and faced Duan Junmo who was riding a horse, "Brother Junmo, I want to ride a horse with you!" ”

Gong Jiyue saw her angry little face, and couldn't help teasing: "What kind of body is it to show your face, side concubine, are you afraid that you still want to enter the palace to learn the rules?"

was ridiculed by the master's subordinates at one time, Xi Xueyao was so angry that she almost wanted to vomit blood, but she couldn't refute it, threw down the curtain, lay back in the carriage, and held her breath.

From childhood to adulthood, others have asked her, and even Zhuang Nanyan will follow herself when she talks to herself, so she not only can't hold her breath, but she can't quarrel.

After a temper tantrum, she became even more irritable, and lifted the curtain again, "Park, I want to be convenient!" ”

Duan Junmo glanced at the guards beside him, and the team in the palace quickly stopped.

Accompanied by Zilu, Xi Xueyao took her skirt to a small forest on the side of the road, and when she saw that there was no one around, she was ready to squat down to solve it, but when she was just halfway squatting, a bright light in the forest suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye.

She took a look, her casual eyes instantly widened, and her face was frightened, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

She stretched out her hand to Zilu, who didn't know what was going on and hurriedly grabbed her hand.

She stood up and ran towards the group, screaming desperately as she ran, "There are assassins!" Come on, there are assassins! ”

Soon, the guards were alarmed and hurriedly drew their sabers.

Xi Xueyao hurriedly pointed to the jungle where the sword light flashed, "Brother Junmo, they are hiding there!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, under the dazzling beam, she saw that in the jungle, a dense sword light and sword shadow instantly shone.

"Put!"

A cold order was given, and countless arrows flew out from the jungle, heading towards the team.

"Hurry up—"

In the crowd, Grandpa Hai's sharp voice exploded violently.

The originally neat and orderly procession instantly panicked, especially the family members and ministers who did not know martial arts, hiding in the carriage with a panicked expression.

The arrows are like a net that goes straight into the air and then falls straight down.

"Defense!"

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army shouted, and the guards picked up their shields and immediately blocked a protective shield, but they still couldn't stop the fish that slipped through the net.

The arrow pierced through the curtain and hit the people in the carriage, and a scream was heard.

All of a sudden, the neighing of horses, the cries of men, and the whistling of arrows piercing through the air enveloped the sky.

Before everyone could catch their breath, a second attack struck.

When everyone looked up, they saw that H2 was lit
