Chapter 116: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
"Ahh
Suddenly, Concubine Zhao's frightened screams pierced the sky, and the entire palace became "lively", and Jiang Chaoye in the tree looked at the angelica beside him with a smile, "It's almost your time to play."
"Yes! Master!" Angelica clenched his fists and retreated.
Jiang Chaoye looked at the group of women playfully, he didn't hit women, but it didn't mean that his heart was bullied, and he wouldn't fight back.
What's more, it hurt her......
In front of the gate of the abandoned palace, some of the women looked at Qiu Tian who suddenly appeared, and instantly understood that this was a game against Qiu Tian, and the person who designed this game to frame Qiu Tian may have reaped the consequences.
Just as everyone looked at each other, another frightened scream came from the abandoned palace, "Ahh
"Queen Mother...... Qiu Tian shouted softly, and the queen carefully wiped the stains on her face, not caring about the dirtiness on her phoenix robe, but protecting her behind her, like a female warrior on the battlefield, flicking her wide sleeves, "Everyone go in with the palace!"
"Yes, Queen!" Everyone agreed in unison, and walked into the abandoned palace with a curious mentality.
As soon as Qiu Tian entered the abandoned palace, she smelled the faint aroma of ylang-ylang flowers wafting in the air, and the particularity of the smell made her frown and cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves, but as they went deeper and deeper, they unexpectedly found that the abandoned hall was not like the imaginary scene.
In the huge space, only a disheveled soldier was lying in the center of the abandoned hall, and Concubine Zhao and the others, who had just entered the abandoned hall, had news out of thin air, and Zhao Er, Qingfeng and others were the same, which made Qiu Tian puzzled.
"Go! Look what's wrong with that person?" The queen looked at the disheveled soldier from a distance and turned sideways slightly, and Mama Qiu and Father-in-law Gu trotted to the soldier there, shouting a few times but not answering.
Qiu Tian watched as Gu Gonggong cautiously probed the man's snort, his eyes widened in horror for a moment, and his voice was thinner and sharper, "It's goneโ"
"Gone?!" The queen frowned, calm, not surprised at all, on the other hand, the wives behind her were like ants on a hot pot, huddling together to keep warm, and there were many discussions.
And Qiu Tian's attention was not on the dead soldier at all, but around the abandoned palace, he became more and more curious about where Zhao Er and the others went?
She could vaguely guess the two screams that came from the hall just now, one of which was definitely because of the dead soldier, "Queen Mother, didn't Concubine Zhao just come in?" How can you ......?"
She didn't want everyone to forget the existence of Concubine Zhao and the others, so she looked anxious, "Now that there is a murder, Concubine Zhao is missing, and Zhao Er is gone, will something happen?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they all looked around to find the traces of Concubine Zhao and Zhao Er, and Zhou Qingyun, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at Qiu Tian's back expressionlessly, but the palms of his sleeves secretly clenched his fists, and scolded in his heart: Damn Qiu Tian, you actually let you escape......
Suddenly, Qiu Tian seemed to feel that she was being "stared at", and suddenly looked back at Zhou Qingyun's "hateful" eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, but at this moment, Angelica Angelica after she saw the crowd made a gesture to her and motioned her to go to the apse.
Suddenly, she turned around and knelt on the ground, sobbing and aggrieved, "Queen Mother, please save Concubine Zhao and Zhao Er!" Even though Concubine Zhao doesn't like me, hates me, and hates me, but I see her come in, and now she disappears without seeing her, so please save her!"
"And Zhao Er, even though she is full of lies to frame me, slander me, and smear me, but now she is in this abandoned palace entirely because of me." She pursed her lips and sobbed, and then said pitifully, "All this is because of me, if she hadn't bribed Qingfeng and tricked me into abandoning the palace, and wanted to lock me up in this cold and dark palace, she wouldn't have come to this palace, let alone been dragged in by those drunken soldiers......
Zhou Qingyun frowned, she found that Qiu Tian had completely distorted Zhao Er's plan, or that her role as a victim was becoming more and more exciting, and Concubine Zhou, who had not yet spoken, frowned lightly, "Oh?!
So how do you get out of trouble at the hands of those soldiers who are as powerful as oxen? Why didn't you save Zhao Er? Or do you hate Zhao Er for slandering you and smearing you and deliberately not saving her? Or ......"
Concubine Zhou threw out several questions, firing continuously like a mortar, which overwhelmed her, but Concubine Zhou greatly underestimated Qiu Tian's ability to counterattack, and everyone saw Qiu Tian with tears in her eyes, kneeling towards Concubine Zhou, full of doubts.
"Concubine Zhou, what you said made the courtiers not know how to answer." She bowed her head with tears in her eyes, looking like Concubine Zhou was forcing herself, "Concubine Zhou, although Zhao Er hates me, slanders me, and smears me...... But this can't be denied that I didn't go to Zhao Er, you see me in front of you, but because of the blocking, I was opened by a certain soldier with a punch, hit the big tree and fainted."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiu Niang, am I desperately trying to stop her and ask her to find someone for help?" Qiu Tian pointed the finger at the embroidery girl who originally thought that she could retire.
The embroidery lady looked uneasy, her eyes were sparse and dodged Qiu Tian's eyes, at this moment, he found that he was not facing Qiu Tian alone, but the eyes of all the women, and suddenly the whole person became frightened and hurriedly bowed his head, "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave doesn't know anything......
"Look! Xiuniang, I was so frightened by this scene that I was already incoherent, could it be that Concubine Zhou Niangniang thought that I, a little girl who was a little girl, had the courage to face these infiltrating scenes?" She suddenly bit her lower lip, looking strong and weak, "Forgive Qiu Tian for not respecting all the wives, but aren't you afraid when you hear and see these scenes? Aren't you afraid? Can you still heroically save people?"
"Miss Zhou, can you?" She doesn't look for anyone to benchmark herself, and the person who can best use it to counter Concubine Zhou's words is not Concubine Zhou herself, but Concubine Zhou's Tongxin Zhou Qingyun.
Zhou Qingyun is a well-known talented woman, resourceful, rich and rich, and she is also a representative of calm and expressionless, but Zhou Qingyun also showed a shocked expression when she saw the dead soldiers, so Qiu Tian didn't believe that Concubine Zhou had anything to say.
But Qiu Tian never expected that Zhou Qingyun suddenly stepped forward, "What Miss Qiu said needs to be examined, if it was me at that time, I would definitely fight to save Zhao Er."
Qiu Tian was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Qingyun to have such determination, and suddenly everyone ran from Qiu Tian's side to Zhou Qingyun's side, praising Zhou Qingyun for being brave and a role model for women.
She looked at Zhou Qingyun's aura-enhanced appearance, and sneered in her heart: I hope you can really do it.
She saw Angelica appear in the crowd again, and it was at this moment - Angelica ripped off his sleeve and ran over, "Miss, I finally found you! Thank God...... You're all right!"
"Angelica, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Tian hugged the disheveled and embarrassed Angelica, and choked up, "Should ......it be even you?"
"Nope!" Angelica stuck a handful of snot and tears on Qiu Tian's body, "Those people don't look down on slaves and maids, and they think that slaves and maids are rude and not as good as Qingfeng, and they are not as noble as Miss Zhao Er's noble status, and they are not as charming as Miss Qu......
"So they ...... ......" Angelica cried so much that he couldn't speak, but he didn't want to whet everyone's appetite, and even Concubine Zhou couldn't help asking, "What is it?" Hurry up!"
"Concubine Zhou, if you want to know, you can go to the apse and take a look!" Angelica hugged Qiu Tian and cried, as if she had suffered some frightened scene, but Concubine Zhou led everyone quickly to the apse.
The queen frowned and looked at Qiu Tian and Angelica, "You guys go with you too?"
Qiu Tian hesitated, but after Angelica held her hand tightly and pressed it for a moment, she replied, "Okay!"
"Miss, don't worry! I'll protect you!" Angelica snorted violently, and the appearance of a strong man serving the country made the queen feel relaxed, so she turned around and walked to the apse with confidence.
Qiu Tian glanced around vigilantly and found that there was no one else in the hall except them, and even the court ladies left with Concubine Zhou's departure, so she deliberately distanced herself from the queen and asked Angelica in a low voice, "Angelica, where have you been?"
"I've been in the yard, but I don't dare to disturb when I look at the love of the master and the young lady!" Angelica naughtily teased Qiu Tian, but he didn't want to be beaten by Qiu Tian, and frowned slightly, "Miss, lightly!"
"If you talk nonsense again, see if I tear your mouth apart!" She pretended to stare at Angelica in annoyance, and Angelica stuck out her tongue and asked her, "Could it be that Miss isn't curious, where did the people in the hall go?"
"Curious!" Qiu Tian raised her eyebrows, looking at Angelica who was about to deliver the answer to the door, "Now, are you going to say it?"
"Yes!" Angelica glanced at the people trapped in the gate of the apse from a distance, and explained softly: "Originally, we expected that the queen mother was the first to enter and break Miss Zhao's good deeds, but we didn't want Concubine Zhao to enter first, so we transferred those people to the apse, and the apse was also found by Concubine Zhao......
"Therefore, if you don't do it, you will burn the remaining *** and aphrodisiac incense pillars, and now we don't know what the specific situation of the apse is......
"I don't know the specifics?" Qiu Tian frowned lightly, and asked cautiously, "That Zhao Er's innocence ......?"
"Miss is what she thinks!" Angelica was not taboo and answered directly, but this answer didn't seem to be said, which directly confused her, "So what is it?"
"If you want to know what will happen next, please check it out in the apse!" Angelica squinted his eyes lightly, looked at the people who had just knocked open the door from a distance, and skillfully handed a handkerchief to Qiu Tian, "Cover your mouth and nose to prevent attracting smoke!"
Qiu Tian seemed to understand and watched everyone enter the smoky apse, and the sounds of surprise were endless, resounding in her ears, which completely aroused her curiosity about Zhao Er's results.
Sure enough, as she entered the apse, she was stunned by the scene in the apse, and she was speechless for a while.
"This ......"
She couldn't imagine that the apse was a replica of the wine pond meat forest, and the air was filled with not only the fragrance of ylang-ylang flowers, but also the faint smell of bitter almonds, the appearance of which seemed like a warning signal, but more of an answer.
She fanned the smoke in front of her, looked at the soldiers lying on the ground with happy faces and flushed faces, and not far from the ground, two disheveled women were half-leaning on the edge of the table and laughing, but the shocking bruises on her body made her heart unbearable, and shouted, "Mama Qiu, quickly get some cloaks and cover them!"
As soon as her voice fell, suddenly a figure flashed behind her, she turned around vigilantly and quickly, but she didn't want to be empty behind her, until she turned around again, and directly faced her shirt without covering her body, the bruises on her body were particularly obvious, and Zhao Er, who had chicken nest hair, "Hehe! Qiu Tian, you come and pull! Hey, hey......"
"Zhao Er, ...... you" Qiu Tian bit her lip and looked at Zhao Er sadly, but she thought about it, if she didn't know what she wanted, she would be Zhao Er's situation now, even a hundred times, a thousand times worse......
She looked at Zhao Er and suddenly shouted with a cruel smile, "Zhao Er, what's wrong with you?"
"Qiu Tian, I'm going to kill you! Qiu Tian ......" Zhao Er stared at her blood-red eyes, and rushed towards her desperately, she was forced to retreat hurriedly, but she didn't want to stumble under her feet, and the whole person fell to the ground, "Zhao Er! Wake up! I'm ......."
"Qiu Tian, I'm going to kill you!" Zhao Er chased and beat her fiercely, and he didn't let her go until her neck was about to be choked by Zhao Er, and she heard Zhao Er's broken thoughts: "Qiu Tian, I'm going to kill you!" You've ruined me......
