Chapter 001: Treason
"Poor General Long, he still suffers from this crime at an old age. If he knew that General Long was locked up in a dungeon and suffered from cold poison every day, he would definitely be very sad. But don't worry, my mother is already thinking of a way, and she will definitely find a way to save the Long family. ”
Hearing Ping'er's words, Xiao Qi's heart was like a knife.
She has been in the cold palace for many years, and she doesn't know the situation outside, she thinks that she will not implicate her mother's family if she suffers the sin. My father and several brothers have military merits, and they will not be convicted.
But things went in the worst direction.
"How is this possible......"
She couldn't believe that the man who used to be meticulous to her and swore to the warm sea would become her nightmare today.
"Niangniang......" The corners of Ping'er's lips hooked slightly, and there was a smug look in her eyes, but when Xiao Qi raised her head, she was full of worry: "Niangniang, don't do stupid things, now the saint is angry, and he can do everything." If Niangniang provokes the anger of the saint again, he may really kill the top and bottom of the Long family. ”
Hearing her say this, Xiao Qiqiang propped up his body and got up.
"No, I'm not going to let him do that, never!"
Lightning and thunder roared, a violent storm worked, and Xiao Qi rushed out of the cold palace. She was only for the Long family, and she didn't notice that there was not a single guard in front of the Dragon Palace.
She ran wildly, letting the rain lap on her.
The Long family is the founder of the glory of Great Chu, and for decades, they have made great achievements for Great Chu. There is the Long family, and hundreds of cities at the border are as strong as iron, and there is no crime in autumn.
Great Chu is the strongest country in the Five Continents Continent, and the Long family is the most heroic god of war in Great Chu.
All the men whose names are on the dragon family tree have dedicated their lives to the country, leaving only their father and four elder brothers.
These achievements and exploits that are enough to go down in history, she doesn't believe that that man would be so ruthless and ignore them at all.
At this time, Xiao Qi was filled with blood and anger, she didn't know that it was really more cruel and terrifying than she thought.
"Your Majesty, look, this time you shouldn't say that it's a concubine who thinks too much. Sister Concubine Long was restless in the cold palace, and now she heard that her father was gathering troops outside the city in an attempt to capture the imperial city, so she couldn't bear it anymore and broke out of the cold palace directly. Fortunately, the concubine was prepared in advance and let Ping'er watch, otherwise, she would have run out while she was in chaos, afraid that she would have already joined her rebellious father. ”
Xiao Qi rushed into Xiao Rui's palace and saw an angry Xiao Rui and a willow thrush with a wicked smile on his face.
In this moment, she understood everything.
No wonder, no one can enter the cold palace, but Ping'er can bring her food every day.
No wonder, she would get news of her father and brother in the cold palace.
No wonder, the cold palace, which has always been heavily guarded, is empty today.
All this is the strategy of the willow thrush.
She also pretended to be a good person, and said through Ping'er's mouth that she would help her.
"It's you!"
Xiao Qi's anger was off the charts, and he pointed at the willow thrush and said, "You did all this!"
The green tendons in Xiao Rui's forehead kept beating. Even if he didn't want to believe it, the facts in front of him made him have to believe it.
This woman, whom he has always been sorry for, really agrees with her father inside and out, and wants to rebel and usurp the throne.
On his angular handsome face, his facial features were tightly wrinkled together, and his fists were clenched and released, loosened and clenched.
He glared at Xiao Qi, and in addition to anger, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
Liu Thrush's words pierced his heart like a knife, and his trust was so worthless in front of the Long family......
"Rebellion is a capital crime, and you still left the cold palace without permission, you really don't take my imperial order in your eyes...... In the past, it was I who spoiled you too much, so I let you develop such a lawless temperament. Come on, throw her back to the cold palace!"
The guards immediately rushed over and held her firmly on the ground.
Xiao Qi struggled and kept shouting: "Xiao Rui, the Long family did not rebel, there must be a misunderstanding in this!"
"The name of the saint is also called by you casually? Little Seventh Sister, you live in the cold palace, like a commoner, and do you have a sense of dignity and inferiority. Don't say that there is no misunderstanding, General Long is coming to the city, what is this not a rebellion? Do you still want to quibble that he came to the palace with tens of thousands of troops to drink tea?"
Liu Thrush folded his arms and said coldly.
Xiao Qi was stunned.
Tens of thousands of troops, that must be the Xiangxi Army.
Since the death of the sixth elder brother Yunlu, my father has released most of the military power, leaving only the Xiangxi Army. He always thought that too much authority did not bode well for the Long family, but when necessary, he still needed an army to protect himself and the entire Great Chu.
If it weren't for an extremely critical matter, my father would never have used the Xiangxi Army.
"Since you can enter and leave the cold palace at will, then, the defense map of our army must have been sent out of the palace by you for Zhu'er. It's no wonder that General Long can come to the city of Kyoto so easily, and with the defense map, isn't it still in a no-man's land. ”
"You don't have to spew blood there!"
Xiao Qi was furious.
"Liu Thrush, I still trust you so much, and treat you as my own sister, I can't imagine that you have such a vicious mind. The Long family is in trouble, even if you run for your life, you are still in a hurry to step on it!"
"How can you say that sister, the Long family is indeed kind to me, but in the face of right and wrong, I, a little woman, can still tell the difference. Even if my life is given by the Long family, it is a big deal that I will go back afterwards, but I will never do this treason. ”
"The Long family is not treasonous!" Xiao Qi roared.
"That's it!"
Xiao Rui didn't bother to listen any further.
"Concubine Liu, you go out first, let me talk to her alone. ”
Liu Thrush immediately saluted: "Yes, the concubines are waiting outside, and the saints need to summon the concubines." ”
She walked out bewitchingly, passed in front of Xiao Qi, and snorted coldly.
That pride and viciousness made Xiao Qi shudder.
She couldn't understand how the willow thrush, which had always been commensurate with her sister, could become what it is today. Or is it that she has been like this from the beginning, just seeing her and the Long family as a springboard to enter the palace as concubines......
"Thinking that you have been in the cold palace for many years, and you know very little about the outside world, I don't want to investigate your reckless behavior today to offend you. ”
Xiao Qi looked up, he hadn't seen him for a few years, he had grown a lot taller, and his original handsome and elegant face was already full of the majesty of the emperor.
The guards went out one after another, and Xiao Qi knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
He looked at her condescendingly, without the slightest pity.
"I treat the Long family well, and the ancestral shadow of the Long family is even richer than the Queen Mother's mother's family. Your fourth brother, I gave him a fief, the honor of a vassal king, isn't that enough? Why do you still betray me? Concubine Liu said that you would take advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace, I don't believe it, I think that the affairs of the Long family should have nothing to do with you......"
