Chapter 265: Life and Death

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Bai Susu was led all the way by Xiao Pingzhang to a palace, this is where Xiao Pingzhang rests in the palace on weekdays, Bai Susu was injured on his face and needed to be dealt with a little.

The hospital came quickly, and took the best green gel and smeared a layer on her face, and the cold touch seemed to drive away those hot temperatures.

Bai Susu was lying on the bed, and Xiao Pingzhang sat beside him with an apologetic face, "Susu, I didn't protect you well." ”

"I don't blame you, it's also that I shouldn't trust her." Bai Susu smiled and asked again, "How did you find me?" ”

"I saw that you hadn't returned for a long time and realized that something was wrong, there were too many people in this palace who wanted my life. They don't dare to attack me, so they will inevitably start with you. Xiao Pingzhang's eyes darkened, if he hadn't arrived in time today, Bai Susu would have died at the hands of that old woman.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and his face was gloomy and scary.

Bai Susu's wrist was held by him in a burst of pain, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "It hurts." ”

Xiao Pingzhang reacted at this time, and suddenly let go of his hand, but saw that the white wrist was already red at the moment, and he felt even more guilty, "I'll go find the imperial doctor." ”

"No, this will be fine for a while." Bai Susu pulled his sleeve back, Xiao Pingzhang was stunned, time moved up, and those eyes happened to look at him.

"I'm afraid, don't go." Her voice was low, her eyes downcast, as if she had not yet recovered from her fright.

Xiao Pingzhang sat on the stool next to her and smiled, "If you're afraid, I won't leave, so I'll always be with you." ”

"Thank you."

"Aliu, tell me about you." Bai Susu opened his mouth gently, and his tone did not fluctuate much.

Aliu is a pseudonym used by Xiao Pingzhang when he was in trouble, and the name was obtained by Bai Susu, Aliu Aliu, Bai Susu wanted to keep him. But in the end, she didn't keep it.

Xiao Pingzhang was obviously stunned, and there was a significant fluctuation between his eyebrows, "What do you want to hear?" “

"Where did you go after you left?" Bai Susu asked.

"I was taken away by an old housekeeper and lived in a village for a few years, and then the old housekeeper died, and I wandered for a few more years. You'll find out after that. He was obviously reluctant to say what Xiao Pingzhang had experienced over the years, and the years of swords and swords were revealed by him lightly, and Bai Susu felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

"And you recognized me when you saw me?" Bai Susu thought that this should indeed be the case, no wonder he always looked at her with very strange eyes, and sometimes said strange things to her.

"It should be said that I knew you were there first, so I went to the Lu Mansion." Xiao Pingzhang said that he was adrift and didn't even know when his life was gone, even if Bai Susu was willing, he was reluctant to put her in danger, so when he learned that Bai Susu was with Lu Zhiyuan, to be honest, he was a little happy.

It wasn't a bad thing that someone could shelter her from the elements, but he decided to go and see it for himself and make sure she was really well taken care of before leaving.

Bai Susu was silent, she really didn't know that the reunion with Xiao Pingzhang in Anyang County was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by him.

She didn't talk to Xiao Pingzhang for a long time, and the little eunuch said something, about what was wrong with Emperor Cheng, Xiao Pingzhang left in a hurry after hearing it.

Bai Susu fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she was woken up by a cry, she opened her eyes and called someone in, and soon a little palace maid came in with red eyes.

"What's going on out there?"

"Back to the master, yes, it was His Majesty who died." As she spoke, the little palace maid knelt on the ground and wept lowly.

Bai Susu was also stunned in his heart, Emperor Cheng was still enjoying the ice show with hundreds of officials during the day, how could he suddenly die if he seemed to be in good spirits.

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned.

Xiao Pingzhang didn't come back, he was busy with too many things now, and I heard the palace maids say that Emperor Cheng had issued three holy decrees before his death, one of which was an edict of sin, and he counted all kinds of wrong things in his reign over the years. The second is to abolish the prince's edict, the prince is mediocre and incompetent, unworthy of being the king, and the abolished prince should be crowned king. The third is the edict of the three princes. ”

The three edicts were all issued before Emperor Cheng completely took his breath, but not in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, so there were many voices in the court that pointed directly at the three princes' fake edicts.

Although the crown prince is incompetent, he is orthodox, and there are still many supporters in the court.

The current situation is that those who support the three princes have the edict in their hands, and those who support the crown prince do not approve of this edict, and the two forces have been anxious.

The country can't be without a king for a day, and it has been more than 20 days since the death of Emperor Cheng in a blink of an eye, but the court and the central government are even more chaotic than before, and the crown prince and the three princes are ostensibly standing still, but in fact they are waiting.

The imperial power has always belonged to the strong, and the military power is the symbol of the strong, the prince and the three princes are waiting for the soldiers and horses, and now the situation in the capital is undecided, whose army is the first to come to the city under the throne is undoubtedly who.

Bai Susu also sensed the smell of saber rattling in the deep palace, and recently she often looked at the four directions above her head and didn't know what to think.

Since the day Emperor Cheng died, Bai Susu had not seen Xiao Pingzhang, and as the days passed, different voices began to come out of the palace.

The prince's 50,000 personal soldiers are almost in the capital, but the soldiers and horses of the third prince have disappeared so far.

The crown prince has already written a text to crusade against the rebels, but the third prince still lives alone in the deep palace without moving.

At first, the little palace maids avoided her, but later they didn't shy away from it, and often hid under the porch and discussed it openly.

When Bai Susu walked over, they quickly stopped talking, and continued to talk as soon as they walked away.

"There are legends outside, the prince's army is coming to the city, and the army has issued a reward order, and whoever can capture the three princes alive will be promoted to three levels in a row with a bounty of 1,000 taels."

"A thousand taels of gold, that's how much silver."

"That's it, I think the crown prince is gaining momentum now, and the third prince won't have a good life for long."

The two little palace maids whispered, not noticing that Bai Susu was standing behind them at the moment, and turned their heads coldly and gasped in fright, "Master." ”

"I don't care what you think in your hearts, but here the third prince is still your master. I advise you to hope that the third prince can win. She turned around to leave, took a few steps and stopped, looked back at the two little palace maids kneeling on the ground and said, "Do you think that if the third prince is defeated, the prince will leave your life?" ”

The two little palace maids turned pale when they heard this, and their faces were panicked.

The current relationship between the crown prince and the third prince is already a life-and-death situation, no matter which party wins, the other party will definitely not survive, and everyone understands the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Zhanghe Palace.

The third prince was sitting in the study quietly watching a game of chess on the table, and Bai Susu entered the door at this time, "I heard that the prince's army is almost in the city." ”

"Well, it'll be tomorrow noon at the latest." Xiao Pingzhang pondered for a moment when a black piece fell on the chessboard, and the situation suddenly showed a scene of a large-scale rout of white seeds.

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you go?" The reason why Bai Susu came back was because several of Xiao Pingzhang's loyal subordinates saw that the situation was not good, so they let Bai Susu persuade him.

"Let's go? Where to go, this is my home and why am I leaving. Xiao Pingzhang's tone was light, his attention was all on the chessboard at the moment, he casually pulled out a white piece and fell, and rushed out of a way to survive under the siege of the sunspot.

"You don't know that once the prince leads troops into Beijing, you will have no way out." Bai Susu looked at him and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Pingzhang hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes looked at Bai Susu, with a faint sneer, "Don't you really want me to die sooner, and now you can't bear it?" ”

Bai Susu's heart trembled, because his gaze was also because of his words.

"You, you know it all." She lowered her eyes and smiled wryly.

When Emperor Cheng died, she thought that the East Palace and the three princes would definitely compete for the throne, and then success or failure would depend on who could lead troops into Beijing first, so she secretly took Xiao Pingzhang's talisman, which was his own soldier, after many years of training, he could only recognize the soldier and not the person.

"What do you think you can do to hide it from me?" Xiao Pingzhang looked at her, even at this moment, there was no blame in his eyes, nor was he angry, just like usual, very calm and panicked.

"Now that you know, I have nothing to say. I stole the talisman, and if you want to kill or scrape me, you will listen to me. As she spoke, she closed her eyes and listened to him.

She stole the talisman and ruined his original victory, just like the chess game in front of him, the sunspot originally suppressed the white son and retreated again and again, but a white son rushed out, and the last gap allowed all the white children to escape, and the escaped white son turned to besiege the black son, and the situation became a white black force in the blink of an eye.

"If I want to kill you, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me so much?" Xiao Pingzhang didn't raise his eyelids, he was staring at the chessboard, the black and white sons had reached the point of life and death, and the slightest carelessness was a dead end.

Indeed, if Xiao Pingzhang wanted to kill her, she would have been a corpse by now, and he hadn't done anything so far, obviously he didn't want to kill her.

"I'm sorry." Bai Susu felt guilty in her heart, she took advantage of his kindness to her, and only by gaining his trust could she easily take away the talisman.

Xiao Pingzhang waved his hand, "If you're fine, go back first, I'm going to continue playing chess." ”

After coming out of the Zhanghe Palace, she looked at the direction outside the city gate and was worried, and there would probably be an end tomorrow.

On December 12, the wind was fierce.

Dayu has not had such a cold winter for decades, and no matter how thick the padded jacket is, the cold wind can mercilessly drill into the cracks of the bones.

Bai Susu stood at the head of the wall, looking at the black crowd outside the city from a distance, and the man led by him was dressed in silver-gray armor, looking at the city gate with a cold expression.

"Lu Zhiyuan, when your soldiers and horses stepped into the city gate, it was when she died in Huangquan." On the city tower, Xiao Pingzhang looked at the man standing under the city with frowns, as if he was not the one who was besieged at this moment.

"You let her go, it's none of her business."

Xiao Pingzhang laughed, "Originally, it was really none of her business, but she stole my talisman, so it's her business." ”
