Chapter 010: The prince who came out of the cold palace
"Princess, be careful. ”
Rouge turned back to the swift blade, and his mind went blank in fright.
However, the secret guard quickly made a move, and I don't know what it was that shot at the third princess's arm, and as soon as her arm was numb, the sharp blade in her hand fell to the ground, because she rushed too fast, her body hit Han Rui straight up.
The dark guard stood in front of Han Rui fixedly, squinting at her, as if he was looking at a person who was sent to death, and that look made people's spines chill for no reason.
Liuli jumped in the air and grabbed the arm of the third princess, and said in a low voice: "The other party is prepared, princess, let's withdraw first, otherwise we will have to explain here today." ”
The third princess looked at Han Rui and gritted her teeth, refusing without thinking about it: "This palace has waited for many years to wait for such an opportunity, I won't leave." ”
She was about to rush forward, but Liuli no longer distinguished, and directly slammed her unconscious, carrying her body into the dense forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Rouge was anxious: "Be sure to catch the third princess." ”
The men in black from before also scattered, and the guards were ordered to chase after them.
In the cold moonlight, only a few lonely corpses remained, and the tea on the table was still warm.
Han Rui sat down on the table and rubbed her eyebrows, "Send a few people to find Master Hou, don't act rashly, and the rest of the people will go all out to hunt down the third princess Yan Ning." ”
"Yes. ”
The carriage was ready, Rouge carefully helped her into the carriage, and brought out some pastries for her, "Princess, don't be so risky in the future, the slave maid thinks that the third princess is not a good person, but I didn't expect her to have such a big appetite." ”
"Yes, no one thought that she would play with this palace like a fool in the palm of her hand. ”
Thinking of the original owner in the book, Han Rui can only be said to be really mentally retarded, who can't see that the third princess has a plan, and the terrible ambition in her inferiority complex is at work anytime and anywhere.
Rouge hesitated, "It's just that the slave maid thinks it's very strange, Liuli used to know kung fu, but today she ......"
Han Rui sighed softly, "The palace is not as strict as we imagined, this time we have to carefully interrogate the first instance when we go back to the palace concubine." ”
Her daughter can quietly buy so many people with strong martial arts skills, and she unknowingly left a girl with strong kung fu to be a palace maid by her side, how could Concubine Shu not know?
"Oh no, Concubine Shu. ”
She sat up straight suddenly, then struggled to lift the curtain of the carriage and ordered the two secret guards outside: "You two keep one person, and the other one will immediately return to Zhaoyang Palace to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”
The Dark Guard looked at her suspiciously.
"Go quickly, Yan Ning must have colluded with Concubine Shu, the Hou Ye is not there, Dong Tingbo is not there, the palace is not there, the Queen Mother and the emperor are in danger. ”
Rouge was so frightened that all the tea she had just brewed in her hand was sprinkled on her body, and she grinned in pain, but she couldn't care about anything at the moment.
One of the guards immediately rode away on horseback, and in the darkness of the night could only hear the sound of horses' hooves, and they drifted away.
Han Rui took the ointment from Rouge's hand, and carefully smeared it on the back of her hand that was already reddened, black clouds were surging in her beautiful eyes, and even her breath couldn't help but hurry up a lot.
"It was the negligence of the palace, in the end, it underestimated her Yan Ning and ignored Concubine Shu. ”
She took a long breath, and the pain in her heart began to spread and wander around.
At this time, the Zhaoyang Palace was brightly lit, and Concubine Shu was still dressed in a half-new azure group, but she was wearing a white and shiny fox fur, and looked at the queen mother who was sitting upright with a proud expression. "The Queen Mother didn't expect it, right?"
With a gesture from her, the Praetorian Guards came in directly with the young emperor, and the little emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe had not yet grown up, and was caught under the armpit by the Praetorian Guards, his face was flushed, and he did not forget to reprimand: "You dare to be disrespectful to me." ”
The Queen Mother suddenly got up and stretched out her hands in the direction of the young emperor, but the concubine Shu motioned for the Praetorian Guards to send the young emperor to her, and her armored hand gently stroked the young emperor's smooth and fair face, looking quite obsessed.
"Look, the emperor really looks like the first emperor. ”
"Concubine Shu, the emperor is still young, you will scare him. ”
She tried her best to calm herself.
As if she had heard some big joke, Concubine Shu pushed the young emperor to the Praetorian Guard again, and then slowly took out the bright yellow scroll from her sleeve.
"Sister, look at it. ”
Qiu Cicada calmly stepped forward and took the scroll and presented it to the Queen Mother.
"You want the emperor to abdicate?"
She looked at the young emperor who was imprisoned by the guards with pity, and her expression was compassionate.
Concubine Shu smiled with her eyebrows, "If my sister is unwilling, I'm afraid our little emperor will die immediately." ”
"You dare. ”
The Queen Mother Huo Ran got up and looked directly at Concubine Shu, "The mourning family didn't expect to have a wolf around them." ”
"Sister, don't be angry, the beloved son of your parents has far-reaching plans, you have a son, I have a son, why can your son be the emperor, but my son can only be trapped in the cold palace. ”
The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and she rushed to Concubine Shu desperately, staring at the face in front of her tightly, and in an instant she understood everything, and she was almost fainted in shock.
Until the sound of footsteps sounded, she turned her head, and a teenage child dressed in a dragon robe came slowly under the guidance of the eunuch, and the cowardice in his eyes immediately betrayed him.
The child walked behind Concubine Shu and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother.
"A child raised in the cold palace has not yet been on the royal jade butterfly and wants to come out to be the emperor, doesn't my sister think this is ridiculous?"
The two children are not much different in age, but their momentum is dwarfed.
This sentence completely angered Concubine Shu, and a cold glint flashed in her aging eyes, "That's right, Chen'er didn't have the royal jade butterfly, but why doesn't my sister know better than me, today my sister has to let me too, don't let your mother and son go to serve the emperor together." ”
The young emperor was imprisoned by the Praetorian Guards and did not say a word, and at this time, he saw the small situation in the palace and said: "Concubine Shu is nothing more than to give my brother a place to stay, I immediately issued an order to canonize my brother as the king of Zhao, and the fief is chosen by my brother and Concubine Shumu." ”
His little voice was childish.
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled, her former beauty could be vaguely seen in her smile, but it was more gloomy and cold, which made people have goosebumps in their ears.
"You're such a good boy, are you willing to give up your throne to your brother?"
She looked at the young emperor expectantly.
The Queen Mother and Qiu Chan glanced at each other, their temples jumped with anger, their lips kept trembling, but they didn't interject, silently looked at the little man who was coerced by the Praetorian Guard, and then swept the child behind Concubine Shu, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Facing the expectant gaze of Concubine Shu, the young emperor nodded and shook his head, and said seriously: "If my brother wants it, I am willing, but my throne was personally determined when my father died, if I let it, wouldn't it make my father's spirit in the sky uneasy......"
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Concubine Shu was overjoyed, and after hearing it, she was so angry that she slapped the young emperor fiercely, "I don't know what it means." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore, "You dare to slap the emperor? ”
Looking at her son again, there were five finger prints on her white and tender little face, and there were blood marks on the side of her chin that had been scratched by armor, and she couldn't help but feel blood surging again.
"Toast and don't eat and drink, do you think it's your mother and son who have the final say?"
She glanced at the Queen Mother, walked directly to the high seat of Huanghuali, comfortably put her hands on the armrests, and beckoned her son to come forward.
Yan Chen, who was dressed in a dragon robe, glanced at the Queen Mother in a winch, then quickly lowered his head and followed the eunuch to the side of Concubine Shu carefully, and his eyes no longer dared to look around.
"Chen'er, don't be afraid, from today onwards, you will have the final say in the palace, no, it is the whole world, you don't need to be afraid of anyone. ”
Yan Chen glanced up at Concubine Shu, and after receiving encouragement, he immediately held his head high.
"Mother, I don't like them. ”
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the Queen Mother, and then pointed at the Young Emperor, and immediately lowered his head when he touched the Queen Mother's eyes.
Concubine Shu hurriedly took him into her arms, "Good boy, the mother doesn't like it either." ”
"My sister has a deep relationship with the first emperor flounder, so I will accompany the first emperor, but you and the eldest princess are gone, and it is not good to leave a lonely child to come, so I will be merciful and let your mother and son go on the road together." ”
As soon as she beckoned, someone from the palace immediately stepped forward and controlled the Queen Mother and Qiu Chan.
"What did you say, what's wrong with Chu Rui?"
"Sister, don't worry, your mother and daughter Huangquan will be reunited later. ”
She showed that eerie smile on her face again, and a palace man brought a tray, on which two jade cups exuded a warm luster under the light, and what was contained was the wine that the palace had given to the nobles who had made mistakes.
"The imperial sister will not die, she will definitely not. ”
The young emperor retorted fiercely, bit the Praetorian Guard's arm, and then ran towards the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, the imperial sister will not die. ”
He looked at the Queen Mother seriously, and the little man's face was firm.
The palace man stepped forward to hold him down, and the jade cup had already come closer.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at him: "Is the emperor afraid?"
The young emperor suddenly nodded with teary eyes: "I'm afraid that the imperial sister will cry when she comes back." ”
One sentence provoked the Queen Mother to cry, but the mother and son couldn't even hug each other at the moment.
"Sister, don't delay, hurry up and get on the road, you won't be able to catch up with the eldest princess if it's too late. ”
Concubine Shu was very impatient.
Seeing that she was annoyed, the palace people who had already prepared did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately poured the wine in the cup to the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor.
At this time, Han Rui, who was rushing to the palace, suddenly began to have a dull dull pain in her chest, and the pain instantly spread to her whole body, and she curled up in pain.
Rouge was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
