Chapter 71: Rescuing Silver (10)

Heavenly Dome Palace, Shangguan Bei Zero.

Bai Junqian came back because he couldn't leave for too long for fear of being discovered, but he still had a lot of clues.

Again, it's time to wait for the right time.

.......

At this time, the banquet in the Heavenly Dome Hall was already halfway through, and the time had come.

But the hall was still full of people, and the atmosphere of the room was heavy.

Although there are wines and songs, the uneasiness in the hearts of these people still occupies a general position in their hearts.

However, if the time passes, the curfew in the palace will begin, and at that time, the defense will become tighter, and Bai Junqian's movement will be more restricted.

"Shangguan Gongzi, we need to do it now. Bai Junqian said to Shangguan Beiling.

"Then do it. Shangguan Bei said in a deep voice. "It's just that there are still many immortal cultivators with superb mana around that Yaohua Immortal, have you thought of a countermeasure to deal with them?"

Hearing this, Bai Junqian looked outside the hall, and a night breeze penetrated into the hall, bypassing Bai Junqian's somewhat uneasy cheeks.

"I was discussing with Yuechen about laying an enchantment and trapping it inside, but the area that the enchantment needs to cover is extremely large, and it may be difficult to complete it for a while, and I have carved charms in some places in the harem, they will gather aura, so that the time can be shortened a lot. Bai Junqian said as he drank the tea in the cup, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, the prince of Qingxiu on the high platform hugged the beauty in his arms and began to say loudly to the people below: "How are you thinking?"

All of them froze, but no one answered, and the laughter on their faces faded and began to turn to restlessness, fear, and anxiety.

The time dragged on for too long, and even the gilded Boshan furnace in the hall also dissipated the last fragrance of the spices.

Everyone held their breath, secretly passing on the speculative gaze, but no one dared to answer.

"I think I can arrest Prince Qingxiu first. Capture the thief and capture the king first. Shangguan Beiling said as he looked intently at the people on the high platform.

"It's not impossible. It's just that do you think that this Qingxiu prince swaggered to hold a banquet at such a critical moment, and he would have no one to protect him?" Bai Junqian replied, "Although for now, if you capture him, many things will be simpler. ”

Shun nodded on the side, what Bai Junqian said was exactly what he was thinking.

The silence in the main hall grew stronger and stronger, and a shout from Shangguan Beiling broke the somewhat stalemate air.

"Lord Wang. Shangguan Bei Zero arched his hand.

Prince Qingxiu glanced at Shangguan Beiling, and said quietly: "What's the matter, the child of the Shangguan family." ”

"May I ask what about the prince?" Shangguan Beiling said bluntly. But in such a situation, asking such a question, isn't it looking for death?

The people in the main hall couldn't help but whisper, obviously admiring Shangguan Beiling's courage.

And Shangguan Bei suddenly said: "I think almost everyone in this hall has the same doubts as me. ”

At the same time, Bai Junqian was also a little surprised, and then looked around the audience, their eyes were full of dodge.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, but a man in black appeared on the high platform, as if something was muttering something in the ear of Prince Qingxiu.

Suddenly, Prince Qingxiu's face changed greatly, and he suddenly got together, and the beauty in his arms fell to the ground.

"Unexpectedly, you still don't give up, and you are still delusional that you can save Chongming's little wild seed. Prince Qingxiu condescendingly said to the people in the main hall, "But don't forget, your wife and daughter are still in that harem, controlled by us, don't you care about their safety at all?"

There was a clear threat in his tone.

As soon as the people below heard this, they all began to say that they didn't do anything to defend themselves, but for Prince Qingxiu, he seemed to be indifferent.

With a wave of his hand, suddenly from the side hall, rows of black figures walked out, magnificent, and then Qingxiu Wang Ye's high platform, which seemed to play a defensive role.

"The cultivation of these people has all reached the Yuanying realm, I advise you not to act rashly!"

Another threat. It seems that this Qingxiu prince is also a little weak-hearted, and there are already so many guards on the main hall, but I didn't expect that there are so many guards in that side hall.

This also verifies Bai Junqian's previous thoughts, there must be many guards around Prince Qingxiu.

For a long time, the two sides have been at such a stalemate.

-----------------

And back to Lingxi.

I thought what would happen, but, "you...... Don't stay here!" the man said to Lingxi.

The night breeze of "......" hung on Lingxi's body, sticking to his skin with a slightly wet shirt of cold sweat, bringing a terrible chill.

Lingxi exerted the effect of the fire spirit talisman in his hand, but the man was not injured by it, and there was a silver light shrouded in half a foot of the man's body, almost enveloping his whole body.

The sound of the fire spirit rune was canceled out, and everything was calm, and the firelight attached to the silver light, and gradually, gradually, gradually began to diminish until it disappeared.

Only the remaining sparks on the ground continue to burn.

"What do you want to do?!" Lingxi asked, looking at the queen warily.

The queen smiled slightly, but her eyes gathered into two sharp swords and stabbed straight at Lingxi, and Lingxi's sword had also been handed over to Chang Yuechen for preservation just now, what should I do?

"Miss Shangguan doesn't have to be so cautious, this palace just wanted to test you, to determine if you are really on the side of Prince Chongming as the female official next to me said. The queen said.

"Huh?" Lingxi was at a loss. Test?

......The man didn't speak, he just looked at Lingxi for a long time, and the bright light shone on his body, so that the light on his shoulders spread down the folds of his clothes, but the expression on his face was hidden in the darkness.

"Rest assured, the fact that she didn't do it right away shows that she is not hostile to us, and people often reveal their sincerity in times of crisis. The queen said to the man.

Hearing this, Lingxi slandered in his heart, and said: "I am Chongming's junior sister, so I am naturally on his side." “

As soon as these words came out, both the queen and the man were a little surprised.

Immediately, the queen replied: "I have met that Miss Shangguan a few times, and you may not know it, but in fact I am her cousin." ”

"......" Lingxi heard this, and she had heard it from Chang Yuechen before, but she didn't think about it for a while just now, "I know." “

But Chang Yuechen has always told her to avoid the queen, but now she ......

"I see. The man said with a gentle smile.

"Emperor. The queen helped the man to sit down.

But what does the title "Huang'er" mean?

"This is my son, and the current crown prince. The queen said slowly. The sagging pearls of the phoenix crown fluttered slightly with her breathing, forming some light and shadow across her cheeks.

When she was young, her appearance must have been overwhelming.

"What prince, now my body has become like this......" Before he could finish speaking, the man coughed violently again, and the bridge of his nose and slightly sunken eyes formed a graceful arc.

Compared with silver, although he is not as charming as silver, he has a little more heroic and tough feeling.

Lingxi, who heard the word "prince", hurriedly said: "I just offended the prince, please forgive me." But she didn't kneel, probably because she had never really knelt down to anyone before, except Bai Junqian.

"......" The Chongtian Prince nodded, did not speak, and instead stared at Lingxi.

Immediately, Lingxi seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the topic and asked the queen: "I don't know if the queen asked me to come here, is there a trace of joining forces?"

"That's exactly what I mean, but now we don't know the strength of both sides, and it's not okay to act rashly like this, I wonder if Miss Shangguan can tell this palace about your plan?" said the queen.

Hearing this, Lingxi frowned, as if thinking about something.

To be honest, Lingxi didn't feel sure that this queen was on the same front as her, and it was not up to her to decide this kind of thing by telling the plan, after all, it was a matter of life and death for so many people.

The queen seemed to have expected Lingxi's reaction in advance, and the explanation had already been prepared, but she still couldn't help but think a little when she spoke: "Actually, this palace doesn't have any plans, because the people around this palace have betrayed me except for the personal female official." There is also the main palace to protect the safety of the emperor, and the shadow guard of the training number does not know how many people are still alive. I am now alone, so to speak. ”

"......" Lingxi was dumbfounded for a while,

Seeing that Lingxi still didn't speak, the queen's face showed an unnatural that was not easy to detect, and soon it was as usual, and she smiled: "This palace has nothing to ask for, but you can let the prince save his life." ”

Hearing this, Lingxi couldn't help but think that there didn't seem to be any other concubines at the banquet just now, but the queen sat alone in a high position.

Why did the rebel do this, did he just want the queen to appease those female relatives?

Lingxi thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a reasonable explanation in her mind, except that the queen was already in the same group as the rebel, she couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Why did the rebel let you go, and this prince?" Lingxi asked the question in his heart.

The queen didn't seem to expect Lingxi to ask such a question, and she was stunned for a long time, her lips were in one and her lips were closed, and she didn't say a word.

Is it hard to say?

After a long time, the queen finally spoke: "I and Prince Naqingxiu are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and I entered the palace draft when I was seventeen years old, but I didn't expect to be selected by the emperor at that time......"

"Lord Qingxiu?"

"It seems that you don't know that Prince Qingxiu is the culprit of this rebellion. The queen replied.

“...... Then you and him rejoice in each other?"

"I only think he's my brother, but he doesn't think so, he likes me when he talks about it, but I know that his liking for asking questions has long since dissipated, and now he's just possessive. The queen replied a little helplessly.

Hearing this, Lingxi was silent, quietly waiting for the queen's next words.

"That's why he didn't kill me, and my only son was saved by my death. ”

These words are a little strange at first, but when you experience them deeply, they can also be self-justifying. Everyone has different circumstances at each time, different moods, and doing some seemingly strange behaviors, but they also had to do it at that time.

"Then what about my senior brother, Prince Chongming, why did you just imprison him and not kill him?" Lingxi asked.

"Power. The queen sighed secretly, turned her eyes to Prince Chongtian's face with pity, and said slowly: "That's because he is holding the jade seal of the country in his hand, and if Prince Qingxiu suddenly inherits the throne, there will be people among the people who will oppose it." It is necessary for Chongming to hand over the jade seal of the country to Prince Qingxiu under the gaze of the people in the world. ”

At this time, Prince Chongtian held the pear wood armrest on the bed, and several fingers took turns to hit the smooth armrest, frowned, and said for a long time: "As an elder brother, I didn't take care of Chongming at all, it's all this useless body!"

Hearing this, Lingxi suddenly remembered what Yin had said when he was in the Ethereal Spirit Mountain - his father and brother were both sick in bed, and they didn't know if they had been poisoned by the life forbidden technique or poison, all in all, they were unable to participate in national affairs.

So his father and brother gave him the jade seal of the country and asked him to temporarily participate in politics.

That means that silver is not in danger of life for the time being.
