CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 6
Since the last time I met the emperor in the Yuchu Palace, he has not been here for half a month, and I don't think the emperor will look at a woman with such an ugly birthmark on her face, which makes me relax a lot.
For half a month, this birthmark has never faded away with me. Zixi was still by my side as always, but never spoke to me.
Now I only hope that Zhuangzi can return to the court as soon as possible, and I can leave this place as soon as possible.
At night, I haven't gone to bed yet. Zixi made a cup of Longjing for me, and put it lightly on the top of the table before a sentence came, "Girl, this birthmark on the face is probably not a real birthmark, but just a man-made mark!" "I was a little surprised.
She chuckled, "The only one who will make this thing fool people on people's faces is Qingqing's girl." ”
I was surprised, and lowered my eyebrows, completely unaware that this birthmark had already been seen by her. The Qingqing in her mouth should be the girl who gave me ideas.
"I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can really return to the court as soon as possible, so that it will not be in vain for me and Qingqing to endure humiliation in the Regent's Mansion." She spoke as she handed me the tea.
Again, I was surprised, and more so, surprised.
She looked at me quietly, and there was a smile on her lips, and I couldn't speak. Her words made me realize that Zhuangzi was not a simple character, and he could have seen through the regent's conspiracy a long time ago and planted these people next to the regent.
After being silent for a long time, I exhaled lightly and looked back at her, "You, you are also the eyeliner arranged by Zhuangzi next to the regent?" ”
"Zhuangzi?" She smiled in surprise, "The name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generally not mentioned to outsiders, and when I think about it, he doesn't treat you as an outsider." ”
I lowered my head and said nothing, and just after I drank a mouthful of Longjing, and before I could swallow it, there was a very noisy sound outside, accompanied by the screams of a woman.
We got up from the wooden chair, stared at Zixi with wide eyes, and said vigilantly, "What's the matter outside, it's so noisy." Isn't it quiet at night at the palace? ”
Zixi was nothing unusual, only chuckled twice, walked to the gate of the hall melodiously and looked at it for a while, before looking back at me and saying, "His Royal Highness the Prince, back, the only one who can mobilize 100,000 Praetorian Guards is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
I was startled, and quickly walked to the front of the temple door and stood side by side with her, the lights were bright outside, but there was already gunsmoke. On the battlefield at midnight, the sound of swords touching and bows and arrows breaking out all reveal the smell of blood.
The figures that flashed in front of them were full of embarrassment, screaming and shouting. The palace people who fell, their bodies were stepped on by other palace people over and over again, and their panicked eyes were very sad. The first time I saw it, the bloody rain in the palace.
The royal nobles, princes and generals, will have a sleepless night tonight, and Jiayu City, the capital of the country, will also be in turmoil tonight. When the crown prince Zhuang Jing returns to the dynasty, he will definitely overthrow the conspiracy of the regent, and the emperor Zhuang Xiao will definitely abdicate.
I glanced at Zixi in a panic, "We, are we going to run away, or are we hiding." ”
Zixi shook his head in expression, turned to me and said, "We don't have to escape, we don't have to hide, the current palace is in chaos." Where you can flee and where you can hide. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come here to look for us, and it would be better for us to stay here quietly. ”
It's not that I'm afraid, it's not that I don't have an idea, although I know that it will not hurt us if Zhuangzi returns to the palace to seize the dynasty, but I can't be sure that the regent's people will definitely let us go.
While I was still pondering, a sharp dagger was already on my neck, and a low voice came from my ear: "Don't move, or this king will kill you." Suddenly, it was the voice of the regent.
I wanted to tell Zixi to flee quickly, but it was too late, because Zixi also had a dagger around his neck at this time, and that person was the servant I saw following the regent in the Regent's mansion, the man.
"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" I spoke softly, the music was extremely calm, and I had no fear of death.
I could feel that he was very panicked at this time, because the hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly, "The prince is really despicable, he has placed eyeliner next to this king, this king has already sent someone to hunt him down, he is obviously seriously injured and poisoned by the heavenly fairy, why didn't he die, why!" His low voice also betrayed his emotions, and he still didn't want to believe that the prince was not dead, but he would not have guessed that it was I who saved the prince.
"Lord, the crown prince is the prince of the previous emperor's order, and he should be the future emperor, as a courtier and the prince's uncle, you should not seek the throne." I calmly replied that the current regent had lost his mind and demeanor, and that a careless one would kill me, but I didn't understand why I said such a lifeless sentence.
"This king is more suitable to be an emperor than the crown prince, if it wasn't for the favoritism of the first emperor, this throne should have been this king a long time ago, this king is unwilling, unwilling." He was very excited by my words, and he was very unwilling to say what he said.
In the dead silence, Zixi suddenly roared loudly at the regent, "As the uncle of His Royal Highness, you actually disregarded your family affection, in order to seize the throne, murdered your own brother and the emperor, and hunted down and killed your own nephew. As soon as she said this, I glanced at Zixi angrily, she usually looks very calm, but now she is so nonsense, saying such a thing in such a situation, her life will be lost at any time.
"Zixi, the regent is right, you see that the prince is stronger than the crown prince in every aspect, he should have been the emperor, but the timing was just unfavorable." I excused myself, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
The regent's anger, which was originally angered by Zixi, was suppressed by my words, and then whispered moodily in my ear: "Do you also think that this king should be the emperor, right, this king is stronger than the prince, but the first emperor is biased, and he is biased....."
The atmosphere around me was frightening, and I could only try to avoid conflict with the regent, who must have been flattered if he was to survive by putting life and death on the line.
"Let her go!" In the quiet hall, at this time, Zhuangzi's low but faintly worried voice came.
This voice, like a life-saving grass, instantly grabbed me.
