Chapter 238: Escape from the barracks

He watched his beloved grow away in his arms, weaken his spirit, and finally become a cold corpse.

"I'm sorry Luan'er, if you hadn't met me, maybe you wouldn't have fallen victim to the government, because I failed to protect you." King Qi leaned on the tombstone and wept silently.

The sun sets in the west, the white clouds on the horizon are glowing with a faint orange light, the color is more beautiful than the high-grade glass jars of the palace, the chaffinch's homecoming, and some people still don't know the direction of home.

A pot of liquor was in his stomach, King Qi hiccuped drunken with tears on his face, he drunkenly stroked the cold tombstone, with a hint of good-looking charm at the end of his eyes, and a muffled snort between his snorts was his last sigh.

"Cut, it's really boring, I knew it was like this, why should I fight with the King of Chu here." With that, he slowly took out a dagger from his arms, "Luan'er, no matter how long it has passed, my heart will always belong to you." ”

Blood stained the clouds in the sky, the sun penetrated more than half of the mountain, and Uncle Dong hurried in a carriage.

After His Royal Highness returned from the palace, he did not stay in the palace for an afternoon, and if he hadn't asked the guards at the door, he would not have known that His Highness had run out alone.

The guard told him that His Royal Highness brought a pot of wine before going out, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he didn't call his entourage to follow, and he didn't say where he was going.

The glow of the setting sun sprinkled on him, and His Royal Highness King Qi, who was vigorous and resolute in the past, leaned quietly beside the tombstone, his lips were white, his face was peaceful, and blood flowed from his wrists, soaking the weeds around the tomb.

Uncle Dong slowly approached in disbelief, he called His Highness twice, and the other party was no longer angry.

"Your Highness!"

The cry woke up the birds that had stopped on the hill, and the birds spread their wings and disappeared into the red glow.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor got up and changed his clothes as usual, and prepared to go to court, when Father-in-law Ling listened to the report of a little eunuch outside, he was shocked, and after repeatedly confirming that the news was true, he entered the Qianqing Palace crying.

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the King of Qi ......" The emperor said lightly: "What's wrong with the King of Qi? "Ah Mo has only returned to the palace for a few days, and I hope King Qi will not cause trouble for him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Xue has passed away."

There was silence in the palace, and even the palace maids who changed the emperor's clothes were stunned, and the emperor walked to Gonggong Ling with a twisted brow, and his voice was like a bell: "What do you say!" You talk about it again! ”

Father-in-law Ling wanted to cry: "Just now there was news from the Qi Palace, after His Royal Highness the King of Qi returned to the palace yesterday, he went to the tomb of the princess in the suburbs alone to worship, and when the next person found out, His Royal Highness had cut his wrists in front of the tomb, and the blood was all gone." ”

The emperor's feet were soft, his head buzzed and exploded, and the palace maid next to him hurriedly supported him, such news, for the current emperor, was no less than a circle on his chest.

"How so? He ......was fine two days ago, "Two days ago, he took Shen Tianming back to the palace, and King Qi was still standing by his side dignifiedly, did he have to lose another one if he took back a son?"

Father-in-law Ling said again: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi's jade body has been placed in the palace, Your Majesty, do you want to see the King of Qi for the last time?" ”

The old emperor blushed, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his mouth was deafening: "Did he come to the palace yesterday?" I don't know what he did when he came to the palace and who he met! ”

Father-in-law Ling said: "His Royal Highness King Qi did come to the palace yesterday, went to see him, and met Zhao Guifei...... "King Qi saw Zhao Guifei, and then ran to commit suicide in front of the tomb of his deceased wife, why is this?

The emperor stretched out his hand tremblingly, his eyes sunken, and he was full of grief: "Drive the Qi Palace, go to the Qi Palace......"

By the time the emperor came, the white cloth strips at the gate of the Qi Palace's mansion had already been hung up, and all the subordinates looked like they were crying and mourning.

King Qi's body was placed in the center of the main hall, he lay quietly in the coffin, his pale face was not bloody, and the blood-stained clothes had been replaced by the slaves into clean ones, he seemed to be asleep, walking very carefully, without pain.

Uncle Dong was the first to find the body of King Qi, and he arranged it very well, cleaning up in one night, and only releasing the news in the morning, so that when the emperor came, he would not see a too dirty scene.

The palace of the king of Qi is very close to the imperial city, and the emperor, as the son of heaven, rarely leaves the palace, and the few times he gives it all to the king of Qi.

The white cloth scattered at the door was extremely dazzling, and he looked at the end of the master of the house.

Gonggong Ling supported the unstable emperor step by step into the palace of the king of Qi, and the servants knelt on the ground, and the emperor's heart was like a knife.

"Ah Cheng?" He stood next to the coffin, the appearance of King Qi was clearly visible, he could not accept it, when he picked up the car at the city gate two days ago, it was the last time he and Ah Cheng met.

The emperor cried bitterly: "Ah Cheng, my child ......" The emperor stretched out his hand to touch the person in the coffin, but was stopped by Father-in-law Ling.

"Your Majesty! No, you can't touch it! ”

The emperor is a man of gold, and he cannot touch such a thing, even if that person is his own son.

Looking at King Qi's cold body, the emperor sobbed and asked coldly: "What did King Qi say when he saw Concubine Zhao Guifei yesterday?" ”

Father-in-law Ling said: "The old slave only asked, saying that His Royal Highness had a big quarrel with the concubine, but as for the content, the old slave didn't know." ”

A good child, his most beloved eldest son, is reluctant to stay away from his side, reluctant to let go of the fief to endure hardships, and he is raised in front of him like this, and this kind of disaster will happen.

The emperor is not the only one who gets the news, just look at the phenomenon of the emperor not going to court today, and running out in a hurry, you know that something big has happened.

"Ah Cheng!" In the next second, Zhao Guifei wore her hair out and ran in like a crazy woman.

With tears in the corners of his eyes, the emperor glared at Zhao Guifei viciously: "You slut still know about coming here, look at the good things you have done!" ”

This is the first time that Zhao Guifei has not applied powder, and she came out to meet people, and it took a lot of effort for the whole palace of Zihui Hall to break free from the guards at the door and let her rush out, but it was just one night, why did her son lie in the coffin.

"This can't be, it's not true, how could Ah Cheng die, he came to Zihui Hall to see me yesterday, he won't ......"

The emperor rushed up with a look of resentment and grabbed her by the collar: "Ah Cheng saw you alone yesterday, what did you do!" Why did he commit suicide? ”

Suicide? She didn't ask King Qi to commit suicide.

"It's not me, I don't know, I just talked about his marriage, I didn't ask him to commit suicide......" Zhao Guifei is no longer young, there is no powder makeup to cover up, the wrinkles on her face can be seen at a glance, the emperor felt sick to his stomach when he saw it, and threw people away like throwing rags.

"Don't think I don't know all the dirty things you've done in the harem all these years, my good child was harmed like this by you, it's all because I didn't deal with you earlier!" The emperor turned around and didn't show any emotion, "Spread my will, the noble concubine Zhao family, her virtue is lacking, she is embarrassed to be in a high position, she is now abolished as a concubine, she is entered into the night court, no one is allowed to visit, and she is imprisoned to death!" ”

Zhao Guifei grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and begged bitterly, Gonggong Ling waved his hand and gave a look to the people below, and soon two little eunuchs stepped forward to grab her and take the people down.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this to your concubines, Your Majesty!"

When Shen Tianming arrived, he happened to see Zhao Guifei being dragged down, he was also the first time to come to the Qi Palace, and the coachman took him to the destination with all kinds of turns, but he didn't expect the emperor to arrive first.
