Tiangang Cataclysm Prelude Chapter 9
"Brother Huang, let's compete to see whose horse is faster!"
"How can I lose to you as the future emperor, see me take the lead!"
In the garden of the Kwai Imperial Palace, Kwai Yan and his ten-year-old sister Kwai Yueji rode the eunuch who served them as a horse race, and when the brother and sister were playing, Yan Guifei came in with a maid and said sternly: "Yan'er, when are you still going to study?" ”
Aoi Yan reluctantly said, "Eniang, let me play for a while." ”
Yan Guifei said angrily: "You also know that you will be the one who will inherit the throne in the future, why do you get the throne if you don't work hard now to make Your Majesty look down on you?" ”
Aoi Yan could only reluctantly obey her mother's orders, jumped off the slave and followed her to the study, leaving her sister alone in the garden.
The eunuch under Kwai Yueji smiled bitterly and said, "Then Does Her Royal Highness the Princess continue to play......
Aoi Yueji angrily kicked the minion in the abdomen with his heel, shouting, "Did I tell you to stop?" Run for Princess Ben! ”
Since the Hundred Flowers Princess Kwai Yuan reached an alliance with Sun Guifei to jointly fight against Yan Guifei's forces, she began to think about her own situation in the fight for the throne, whether it is Kwai Yan or Kwai Lang, they have a lot of behind-the-scenes forces around them, whether in money or power, and she has always been alone and has never cultivated her own power, except for the loyal escort corps who once followed the queen mother and the tamed lion owl, no one supports her to ascend to the throne, and she must change.
For this purpose, Kwai Yuan visited Dong Ruoyang again, this time not to learn martial arts, but to hope that he and the forbidden army in the palace could declare their allegiance to him.
Dong Ruoyang listened to Kwai Yuan's words, and said in silence for a long time: "Your Royal Highness Princess Baihua, as a person who has served the queen for many years, I would like to ask Your Highness seriously, do you have a firm determination to fight for the throne?" ”
Kwai Yuan: "The palace has made up its mind when the queen mother passed away, and no one can stop it, I hope Uncle Dong can help the palace." ”
Dong Ruoyang: "Then Her Royal Highness does Her Royal Highness know that the two forces that are currently competing for the throne, Prince Yan and Prince Lang, how deep is the background behind them?" ”
Kwai Yuan: "The palace knows that it is not as good as the two imperial brothers now, and it is because of this that I hope to get the assistance of Uncle Dong, and in the future, the palace will also negotiate with the major literary and military officials in the palace to strive for their support." ”
Dong Ruoyang: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as Her Royal Highness the princess thinks, if you want them to surrender, you must be able to offer enough to make them happy, this matter is like a layer of overlapping interests, interlocking, Her Royal Highness the princess lacks a bargaining chip that is enough to make people happy at the beginning, so that they can't take the first step to establish their own relationship network." ”
Kwai Yuan: "What Uncle Dong said is very true, this palace will try its best to get it done, or hope that Uncle Dong can be the first cornerstone of the palace to compete for the throne." ”
Dong Ruoyang: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is bound to insist, then the old minister will definitely bow to Her Royal Highness the princess like following the queen's mother." ”
Kwai Yuan left the barracks and on the way back, a person suddenly appeared and pulled her to the corner, Kwai Yuan was about to draw her sword to resist, and found that the person who attacked was actually Dong Xi, who was close to her.
Dong Xidong looked around and said in a panic: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is talking to her father-in-law about attracting him to join the forces, but is it serious?" ”
Kwai Yuan: "Seriously, and Uncle Dong has promised to be loyal to this palace." ”
Dong Xi: "Why does Her Royal Highness the princess want to compete for the throne!" Isn't that putting yourself in danger? ”
Kwai Yuan: "This palace is the eldest daughter of Emperor Kwai and the son of the queen of this dynasty, why can't she inherit the throne?!" ”
Dong Xi: "The minister didn't mean this, in short, Her Royal Highness the princess, please don't have any reverie about the throne, and you can live a comfortable and prosperous life when you are a princess of a country." ”
Kwai Yuan pushed Dong Xi away and said angrily: "Bold! It's not your turn to stop what this palace wants, and if you don't want to be loyal to this palace, retreat quickly! ”
Looking at the back of Kwai Yuan leaving angrily, Dong Xi couldn't stop talking, and could not stop her, so she could only watch her disappear in front of her in a daze......
In the days that followed, Kwai Yuan investigated the sources of the composition of the major forces from various channels, and secretly contacted some important ministers or wealthy businessmen in the region, but without exception, they were all sent away by the other party for various reasons, and sure enough, everything was as Dong Ruoyang said, he could not make a satisfactory condition for the other party, and even he had the idea that he could not take over the throne from his father as a daughter, let alone how to persuade others.
But Kwai Yuan was not reconciled, the frustration of negotiations for days made her sleepless in the room, no one was willing to follow her except Dong Ruoyang, who was trusting, and only the Emperor of Punishment was the only alliance she had successfully negotiated, but now she didn't know where she was, and she couldn't help but have a suspicion that Emperor Xing was just perfunctory to answer herself.
The most difficult thing for Kwai Yuan to accept is that even Dong Xi, who is a childhood sweetheart, looks down on himself, thinking that he can spend the rest of his life as a canary in a cage, and Kwai Yuan is depressed and disgusted by this feeling of being betrayed by his cronies.
One day, a palace maid on behalf of Sun Guifei sent a message to Kwai Yuan, asking her to go to Nanling Palace to discuss important matters, Kwai Yuan did not think much about it and set off to go, passing through the back garden, but what she didn't know was that at this moment Yan Guifei and her children were also in the back garden, and there was Shi Zhonglong's beloved apprentice Shi Yu next to him who was responsible for guarding it, and he was naturally unsuspecting in the palace, and a young eunuch passed by the back garden, and his eyes looked at Kwai Yan from time to time to make Shi Yu vigilant.
I saw that the little eunuch suddenly stopped on the spot and pulled out a weapon from his sleeve, saying that it was too late, and Shi Yu did not hesitate to open the "Mixed Yuan King Kong Wall" to block in front of Yan Guifei's family and use it as a shield, but the arrows shot by the hidden weapon device in the hands of the little eunuch actually had a spiritual spirit from the left and right sides of Shi Yu, one of the arrows directly penetrated Aoi Yan's right knee, and the other arrow hit Yan Guifei's left eye beside him, and the attack was extremely fierce.
Suddenly, the back garden was full of mourning, Kwai Yueji was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound on the ground, Kwai Yan kept crying: "Eniang, my feet hurt so much!" It hurts! ”
Yan Guifei didn't care about the serious injury in her eyes, and after pulling out the arrow, she ran to Kwai Yan's side with a cloth to stop the bleeding and hugged and comforted: "Don't be afraid of my Yan'er, Eniang will never let the bad guys hurt you!" ”
After the assassin succeeded, he fled in a hurry, he naturally couldn't escape the pursuit of the forbidden army in the palace, not to mention the immortal cultivators of Shitang Castle, but at this time, Kwai Yuan also happened to enter the back garden, and the assassin knelt directly under Kwai Yuan's skirt and shouted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, save the villain!" ”
Kwai Yuan kicked it away in a panic and said, "Who are you?!" Hongu doesn't know you! ”
The assassin grabbed Kwai Yuan's dress and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't turn your face and deny people!" ”
This scene was seen by Shi Yuquan, and he slowly approached: "Dare to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Baihua what is the relationship with this person?" ”
Kwai Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't know ...... in this palace."
Before the words fell, the assassin tried to snatch the sword from Kwai Yuan's waist, and Kwai Yuan quickly drew his sword and stabbed the other party in a crisis reaction, directly ending the life of the assassin eunuch.
Shi Yu looked at the man who was lying in a pool of blood, and whispered to himself: "Isn't there no proof of death......
The forbidden army arrived to surround Princess Baihua, and she was still at a loss and didn't know what was happening.
Such a big event happened in the Kwai Palace, and soon spread outside the palace, and Yan Guifei, whose injuries had been roughly stabilized, put on an eye patch and confronted Kwai Yuan in the palace, but Yan Guifei had lost her mind at this time, so she grabbed Kwai Yuan and scolded angrily: "It's definitely you slut who plots to kill us!" This palace can't spare you!! ”
Emperor Kwai ordered the forbidden army guards to pull Yan Guifei away, and shouted: "I will investigate this matter clearly and give everyone an explanation!" ”
At present, there is no substantial evidence to confirm that the assassin has a connection with Kwai Yuan, and the background of the investigation is only a newcomer who has just entered the palace, and the only testimony is what he said to Kwai Yuan before his death, which seems to be what Kwai Yuan instructed him to do behind the scenes.
And Kwai Yuan was confused for a while due to the fear of thieves and stolen goods, and was under house arrest in the palace room under the supervision of the guards, and was not allowed to go out, shivering under the quilt all day long.
Concubine Yan angrily threw all the porcelain on the table to the ground and roared: "That little slut in Kwai Yuan, this palace wants her to die well!! ”
Shi Wanjun: "Concubine Yan, don't worry, I'm afraid this matter was not done by the princess, according to Shi Yu's report, the secret weapon used by the assassin bypassed the defense like life and hurt you, and it was only done by the Tang Sect to make such a powerful secret weapon, and it was Sun Guifei's forces who staged a murder with a knife." ”
Yan Guifei: "How can this palace not be in a hurry!" How can you not be in a hurry! The doctor said that the arrow completely destroyed my baby Yan'er's kneecap, and he could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair! Your Majesty will never pass on a crippled prince, they ruined Yan'er!! This palace is going to kill them all, kill them all! ”
Shi Wanjun saw that Yan Guifei had completely lost her mind, and this chess game had not yet collapsed, so he was afraid that she would do something crazy and push herself to the cliff with her own hands.
At this moment, Emperor Xing and Qiluo mosquitoes, who were resting in the tea house in the countryside, heard passers-by talking about the major events that happened in the palace, and Qiluo mosquitoes were surprised: "I didn't expect the princess to experience such a terrible thing in the palace in the past May, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get through this pass, right?" ”
After a moment of silence, Emperor Xing put down the teacup and got up, and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”
Kira mosquito: "I'm going to start looking for Feng Wuji again." ”
Emperor Xing: "No, go to the capital of Emperor Kui." ”
