Chapter 457: Gambling

The second prince threw the last piece of rune paper in his hand into the copper basin, quietly moved his kneeling numb legs, and looked up at the coffin in front of him quietly.

Glancing at the exhausted officials in the hall, his eyes swept over the Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and chanting, and looked sideways at the outside of the main hall.

There was a cold wind blowing from afar, and the second prince frowned.

A hint of uneasiness suddenly flashed in my heart.

It has been five days since Qi Guogong secretly left Beijing, but instead of sending him back good news, he has even cut off the news in the past two days.

Thinking of the 100,000 soldiers and horses he led, the second prince snorted coldly in his heart.

The dignified general of the Pillar Country is not more than Erer.

If it weren't for his mother's sake, how could he have allowed him to weigh on his head.

One day, he will take all the military power into his own hands.

The second prince suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and withdrew his gaze.

Under the palace lamp, four forbidden soldiers with straight postures, holding waist knives in their hands, quietly guarded on both sides of the main hall.

Thinking that the power of the capital was under control, and the hundred officials were also left in the palace by him, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that before this breath could be released, the right eyelid suddenly jumped violently.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Jingyang Palace.

In a cold cellar.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xu Yuanyue, who was curled up on the ground, pressed her lower abdomen like a drum, and slowly turned over and sat up with anger.

She hadn't eaten or drunk for a day and a night.

It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and now even a cheap maid dares to bully her as the master of the harem. If she had the opportunity to go out, she would definitely not let go of this.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Xu Yuanyue raised her eyes to look over, but she was suddenly stunned.

"Lord Jiashan, why are you?"

Before Ling Chu could speak, Xu Yuanyue's face suddenly changed again, "It turns out that you are in the same group as An Meiying's slut?" It's not enough for you to kill the prince, but you also have to kill the palace?

The emperor is really blind, and he didn't even find out that your Dingyuan Royal Mansion had long colluded with Xiao Nanmu......"

Ling Chu looked at the person in front of him lightly, his cloak was haggard and embarrassed. It seems that no matter how noble his status is, he has been imprisoned for so long, and he will not be dignified and luxurious in the past.

Ling Chu didn't say hello, and directly interrupted the queen's sharp scolding, "I'm here to save you out." โ€

The queen was stunned, the rest of the words choked in her throat, and her face changed and changed, "What did you say?" โ€

Ling Chu's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard the words she had just scolded, and repeated again, "I'm here to save you." โ€

"Get me out? You're not in the same league as that slut in An Meiying? Jingyang Palace is a cold palace, and there are not many people in the palace who know about this place, how did you find this place? โ€

The queen looked at Ling Chu suspiciously, and suddenly got up from the ground with an excited face, "Is the emperor not dead?" He's back, and you're here to save Hongu, isn't he? โ€

Ling Chu saw that she was about to reach out and grab herself, so she first avoided a step to the side before she said lightly, "I came by myself, and it has nothing to do with the emperor." โ€

The queen was stunned for a moment, and the excitement on her face turned pale all of a sudden, "The emperor or no news?" โ€

Ling Chu didn't respond to her words, only turned his head sideways and said, "Let's go." โ€

The queen didn't move, not because she didn't want to go out, but because she knew that the entire palace was already controlled by An Meiying and the second prince, and even if she went out, she would not have a way to live.

The queen's thoughts, Ling Chu could see it at a glance.

"It doesn't matter how I found here. The important thing is, does Niangniang want to avenge the prince? โ€

The queen suddenly turned her head to look at her, her red eyes filled with hatred.

This hatred was not directed at Ling Chu.

"How don't you want to, this palace wants to devour An Meiying's mother and son alive in my dreams. Zhao'er, who killed me, didn't count, but also framed my father for rebellion, and executed all 108 members of the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department.

This palace is to break their mother and son into thousands of pieces, and it is not enough to vent the hatred in my heart! โ€

"Niangniang wants to avenge the crown prince and the military department Shangshufu, and now is a great opportunity."

A bright light burst out of the queen's eyes, but reason made her suspicious, "Why does the county lord want to help this palace?" โ€

The queen knew that although she was the master of the harem, she did not have too deep a friendship with Ling Chu or Dingyuan Wangfu.

Although the crown prince wanted to win over King Dingyuan during his lifetime, King Dingyuan was only loyal to the emperor and did not stand in line.

This Jiashan county lord has no reason to help her.

Ling Chu smiled, she was indeed not familiar with the queen. What's more, the crown prince is dead, and she can't get any benefits for the queen at all, so it's no wonder she is suspicious.

"What are you afraid of? You are locked up in Jingyang Palace, and the people outside don't know about it at all. Concubine An Xian said to those foreign women who came to cry, since the death of the crown prince, you have fallen ill in bed with excessive grief.

If I harm your thoughts, why should I come to Jingyang Palace. As long as I don't know anything, it won't be long before there will be rumors in the palace that you can't bear the blow of the death of the emperor and the crown prince. โ€

Ling Chu glanced at the queen's pale face lightly and continued, "As for why I want to help you, it's because the county lord doesn't like Concubine An Xian, and he doesn't want the country of the Chongzhao Dynasty to be ruined in the hands of the second prince.

After all, if the world is in chaos, my master will have to clean up the mess for the second prince.

But my master is old, and as a disciple, I can't bear to let him be tired, so I can only find a way to stabilize the court.

Niangniang's reason for thinking this county lord is enough? โ€

Enough, how not enough.

The queen mother looked at Ling Chu deeply, in fact, she knew that even if there was no reason, she was willing to believe her.

Without him, she wants An Meiying's mother and son to die.

Even if there is only a 10% chance, she has to gamble.

The crown prince died, her mother's house was destroyed, and she became the queen, but now she is imprisoned in the cellar of the cold palace that does not see the light of day.

Even if she loses the bet, it won't be worse than now.

"What is the chance, what does the county lord need to do in this palace?"

It seems that he has not lost his mind by the death of the crown prince.

"Time is tight, let's go out first, talk as we go." Ling Chu took out an invisibility talisman and pasted it on the queen's body.

The queen didn't know what kind of talisman she pasted, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back.

Lowering his eyes, he glanced at the rune paper on his body, and saw that Ling Chu had already turned around and walked out, so he hurriedly followed.

Along the way, seeing that some palace maids and guards turned a blind eye to them, the queen was surprised, and guessed that the rune paper on her body had a stealth effect.

Ling Chu took the queen to a remote palace where no one was around, and only then did he remove the invisibility charm on his body.

Soon a eunuch flashed out, "County Lord." โ€

This person is not a real eunuch, he is Ning Chuyi's subordinate, and he is also a brocade guard.

"People have brought it?"

The brocade guard pointed to the dark place on the right side, "Don't worry, the county lord has brought it." โ€

Ling Chu took the opportunity to look over, and the three grandmothers and the two palace maids rushed over with excited faces, "Niangniang." โ€

The queen's face trembled, she didn't expect Ling Chu to even rescue the people waiting beside her.

Just about to say thanks, Ling Chu shook his head and stopped her, "Time is tight, do things first." โ€

The queen took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, bowed deeply to Ling Chu, turned around and took the maids and palace maids straight to Concubine An's bedroom.
