Chapter 135: Together, Doomed
Yuehua hurriedly persuaded him: "Jun Chi, don't do stupid things, there will always be a way, what this palace promised you, I will definitely do it." ”
Jun Chi tried hard to pull the corners of his lips and shook his head: "No need, Niangniang, thank you for everything you have done for your evening." This cuckoo has just come out of the conservatory, afraid of the cold wind, Niangniang remembered to ask the palace people to close the doors and windows, and do not open the curtain for ventilation for the time being. ”
Yuehua became more and more nervous in her heart, and wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but Jun Chi had already turned around and went out.
She couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look, Jun Chi's back was a little rickety, and he no longer had the heroic spirit of being a guard. It seems that after he suffered the palace punishment, he suffered one blow after another, and he didn't have time to raise his body at all, and now he has spasms, and sooner or later he will become a lump and can't straighten his waist.
She once again had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that looking at his back, she would think of the night before Jun Wan left, when he kowtowed from the door of his Qingqiu Palace and left, the same gloomy and resolute.
Yuehua began to worry, really afraid that he would do something stupid on impulse and recklessly, but he hated that although he was the head of the six palaces, after a country, he had no real power in his hands, and he couldn't help him, and he didn't have a good idea after thinking about it.
She didn't expect that the disaster would come so early and be caught off guard.
At noon, Jun was late out of Qingqiu Palace, and there was an accident at dusk.
She sat in the warm pavilion embroidering, full of worries, and vaguely heard a noisy movement outside, and then someone ran over in a panic at the gate of Qingqiu Palace, and someone ran over in a hurry, with mixed footsteps.
She raised her head casually and instructed Xiang Shen: "Why is it so messy outside, isn't something wrong?" ”
Xiangshen put down the embroidery thread in his hand and stood up: "The slave maid went out to have a look." ”
Before the curtain was opened, Mama Wei pushed the door and walked in, closing the door tightly from behind.
"Don't go out just yet, Ansheng stays in the house."
"What's wrong? Mama Wei? Xiangshen asked curiously.
Mama Wei shook her head: "I don't know, someone came to inform me at the right time, let the masters in the palaces close the doors of the house, and don't move around for the time being." ”
"Could it be that there are assassins in the palace?" Xiang Shenyuan opened his eyes, not only was he not afraid, but he was a little excited.
"You're the storyteller on the flyover, haven't you heard too much of it?" Yuehua couldn't help laughing: "This palace is so heavily guarded, where will anyone break in?" Do you think that all the people who practice martial arts in this world are like the leaders of the dust, flying on the eaves and walking on the ground? ”
Xiang Shen walked to the window and looked out curiously through the crack in the window: "Then what are these people doing in a panic?" It's all like they're facing the enemy. ”
Mama Wei nodded: "It seems that the Jinyi Guard was also dispatched, carrying the water dragon, and went to the west." ”
"West? That seems to be the leisurely hall of the crane concubine, right? Xiang Shen didn't look back and said: "I didn't go to the water, what do you want the water dragon to do?" ”
Yuehua's heart sank suddenly, if something happened to Concubine He, then it would definitely have something to do with Jun Chi!
She had no intention of doing needlework any more, gathered herself up and stood up, and went to the shelf to get her cloak.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Mama Wei hurriedly asked.
"I'm not at ease, I'm going to go out and have a look!"
"Absolutely not," Mama Wei pulled Yuehua's sleeve: "I don't know what the situation is outside now, how can I go out recklessly?" ”
Yuehua became more and more flustered: "With so many guards here, what can happen?" Just go out and have a look. ”
"If the mother is not at ease, the slave and maid go out to explore the rumors, if there is no danger, it is not too late for the mother to go out again." Xiang Shen volunteered.
Yuehua shook her head and half-jokingly said, "If it's about skill, if you encounter danger, I can escape faster than you." ”
After speaking, he ignored the two of them, opened the door and walked out. Xiang Shen and Mama Wei naturally didn't dare to slack off, and followed closely behind.
As soon as he left the Qingqiu Palace, a little eunuch immediately came over to dissuade him: "Niangniang, stop, hurry back to the palace to avoid for a while." ”
"What's going on?" Yuehua looked at the guards who came and went and looked around, and couldn't help but ask.
"Back to Niangniang, it was the Crane Concubine Niangniang's palace that had an accident, and there was a bold slave who pretended to pass on the holy decree, saying that the emperor rewarded the Crane Concubine with gouache, but as soon as the box was opened, a bunch of wasps flew out of it. Now the sky is all over the place, and the palace guards are trying to find a way to pour water or smoke to drive out those poisonous insects. Niangniang went back to the palace for the time being, closed the doors and windows, and came out again after a while. ”
As soon as the little eunuch said this, Yuehua was immediately sure that the bold slave he was talking about was no one but Jun Chi!
"How is that little eunuch now?" Yuehua asked eagerly.
"That slave is bold, so that Concubine Crane is now stung by a wasp and has lost her human form. He was talking like crazy, and as soon as the guards arrived, Concubine Crane couldn't help but order him to be shot to death. The little eunuch exclaimed.
Yuehua's face turned a little pale in an instant, clenched the root of her teeth, staggered back two steps, and helped Xiangshen to stand firmly.
Earlier, seeing his resolute face, I expected that he would definitely have an accident, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't give her time to react! I didn't expect that he would take revenge on Concubine He in such a decisive way and lose his life.
"Mother, will you go back?" Xiang Shen noticed her strangeness and asked worriedly.
Yuehua turned around slowly: "Go back, it's too late." ”
The little eunuch behind him sighed invisibly: "It's just a madman." ”
Yuehua paused, turned around again, covered her head with her cloak, and said categorically: "Xiangshen, accompany me to Concubine He." ”
Xiang Shen didn't know what to do, and nodded: "It is said that you should visit Concubine Heniang." ”
Concubine He's leisurely hall is not far from Qingqiu Palace, and when Yuehua arrived, Mo Guhan had already heard the news and arrived. Rong Xiang was waiting at the door, saying that he was in Concubine He's dormitory, and had already summoned the imperial doctor to come over to treat Concubine He's bee venom.
Yuehua hesitated a little, stood at the door, and heard Concubine He's miserable cries of pain and whimpering.
Jun Chi's body was still parked at the door of the Leisurely Palace, covering his face with a rag, his body was full of arrows, and blood was dripping all over the ground.
She knew that it must be Jun Chi.
Yuehua didn't know why she suddenly changed her mind and came here in person. After all, Jun Chi had just been to his Qingqiu Palace today, and such a thing happened in the afternoon, which was to be avoided, and if he showed any emotions again, I am afraid that he would be affected.
But the little eunuch's soft sigh touched her heartstrings again, and she couldn't help it.
This Jun Chi is indeed a madman, he chose to live secretly for Jun Wan, and now when he is disappointed, he does such a rebellious thing in order to avenge Jun Wan. He is also a man with affection, righteousness and blood, and Yuehua suddenly wanted to give him a good home.
So, she came at risk.
A guard came over to clean up the scene and carry away Jun Chi's body.
Yuehua stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going to carry his body?" ”
The two guards lowered their heads and said in a muffled voice: "Queen Qiyu, he is very rebellious and commits such a crime, and it is best to burn it and throw it into the Anle Hall." ”
"Can you be accommodating?" Yuehua's voice was a little soft, as if she was begging.
One of the two guards raised his head, glanced at Yuehua, and quickly lowered his head: "We have thanked the queen for her kindness on behalf of the king. ”
The word "kindness" made Yuehua feel a little guilty: "Are you Qi Zuo Qi Right?" ”
The two looked at each other and nodded: "Niang Niang knows us?" ”
"Today, Jun Chi mentioned it with this palace."
The two were silent for a moment, and one of them said, "We also heard Jun Chi mention Niangniang." ”
Yuehua smiled bitterly, turned to Xiangshen and asked for a few silver bills for rewards, secretly stuffed them into the two, and whispered: "Find a way to make a difference, so that he can bury him." ”
The guard quietly accepted: "Xie Niangniang." ”
The two leaned down and carefully carried Jun Chi's body, Yuehua's heart suddenly moved, and he admonished: "The eunuchs are very strict in their access control when they enter and leave the palace, and it is impossible for Jun Chi to carry so many hornets into the palace by himself." Did you two find the hornet he used? If someone asks, remember to be careful, put aside the involvement, and don't get involved. ”
The guard raised his face and shook his head solemnly: "Our friend is a friend, it's too late to persuade him, how can we help him kill himself?" It's not what we do. ”
Another guard, who had been silent, said in a muffled voice, "Jun Chi said that someone helped him." ”
"Who?"
The man said in a sullen voice: "I don't know, he won't say, anyway, it's the master of the palace." ”
After saying that, he lifted Jun Chi's body, and the two left gloomily.
Yuehua stood in a daze for a long time, full of doubts, not knowing who the person the guard was talking about, why did he help Jun Chi? In other words, it was pretended to borrow Jun Chi's hand, intending to murder Concubine He.
Xiangshen asked in a low voice: "Are we still going to visit Concubine He?" ”
Yuehua shook her head and glanced deeply at Concubine He's bedroom: "Don't go, it's good to have the emperor alone." ”
She almost lost her soul and returned to the Qingqiu Palace, closed the door, and sat alone until the night was dark. The room was lit with candles, and the pot of azaleas on the table was still in full swing, and in the jumping candlelight, the fiery red color seemed to be as dazzling as Jun Chi's blood.
In the courtyard outside, the palace people were holding torches and lanterns, probing in the corners and crevices. Mama Wei is a soldier, lest a fish slip through the net and break into the Qingqiu Palace and hurt her master.
Yuehua shouted: "Xiangshen, Xiangshen!" ”
Xiang Shen came in response: "Niangniang, what are your orders?" ”
Yuehua weakly raised her finger and pointed to the pot of azaleas: "Move that pot of flowers out and throw it away." ”
Xiang Shen immediately understood Yuehua's thoughts, and called a little eunuch to come in and move the pot of flowers out. As soon as he walked out of the door of Qingqiu Palace, he walked opposite to Mo Guhan, who was coming on.
Mo Guhan was in a hurry, so Rong Xiang behind him hadn't had time to spread the word. The little eunuch carried the flower pot and knelt down straight to say goodbye.
Mo Guhan suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the pot of flowers suspiciously, and then turned around.
