Beloved Empress

Chapter 217: 164 Meet

Views:

At this moment, Chu Lingxiao and Yang Shihan flew up from the cliff and stood next to Mo Qiqi.

Seeing that Yang Shihan was successfully rescued, Mo Qiqi cried with joy and hugged her: "Thank God you are okay, otherwise how would I explain it to my brother."

Yang Shihan felt warm and moved in her heart, but she still said harshly: "Okay, Mo Qiqi, stop being pretentious, am I not dead? If I die, you should be happy, so that no one will fight with you in the future. Bickering."

Mo Qiqi let go of her, glared at her, and said rudely: "That's right! If you die, no one will quarrel with me in the future. I should have let go earlier."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

When the man in black saw that Yang Shihan had been rescued, the Queen was safe, and the Prime Minister had also arrived, he felt that something was not good for them. The top priority was to kill the Queen and Miss Yang quickly. Thinking like this, the two of them looked at each other. A fierce light appeared in his body, he jumped up and attacked them.

When Chu Lingxiao saw this, he immediately pulled Mo Qiqi and Yang Shihan and flew to a place with wide terrain and far away from the cliff to prevent them from having another accident.

After landing, he looked at them and ordered: "Don't move here, I will deal with the assassin first."

The men in black were chasing after them, and Chu Lingxiao started fighting with them.

The man in black who was fighting with the shadow guard saw what was going on here, and two more men in black immediately pulled away.

Chu Lingxiao did not bring many people, only five or six guards. At this time, he was entangled by men in black and could not come to help the Prime Minister.

And several more men in black came secretly, and the shadow guard couldn't get away for a while.

Although Chu Lingxiao is very good at Qinggong, his martial arts is really average. He still has some chance of winning against a man in black. If two men in black are lucky, they might be able to turn disaster into disaster, but this With four men in black, he was obviously no match.

The man in black attacked quickly, and Chu Lingxiao was forced to retreat step by step, seeing that the man had reached the edge of the cliff.

When Yang Shihan and Mo Qiqi saw this, their hearts were lifted.

The men in black also gave up on killing Mo Qiqi and Yang Shihan at this time. If they could kill the prime minister first, the master would be happier, so they concentrated on dealing with Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Lingxiao was already forced to have no way out. If he took one more step back, he would fall off the cliff.

But the men in black pressed forward step by step, not giving Chu Lingxiao a chance to escape. They also knew that Chu Lingxiao's Qinggong was very good. If he fell directly, they were afraid that he would use Qinggong to fly up, so they had to stab him first. Kick him off the cliff with one sword, and he will definitely die.

So the man in black quickly drew his sword and swung it towards Chu Lingxiao.

At this moment, a red figure flew over, swung his long whip, and knocked away the sword of the man in black, which was swung at Chu Lingxiao. However, there was one man in black who had no time to open his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed straight towards Chu Lingxiao. Chu Lingxiao stabbed, and in desperation, the girl in red stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Lingxiao. The tip of the sword pierced her shoulder, and she frowned slightly.

She couldn't care much at this time, so she took Chu Lingxiao's hand, flew away, and landed back in a spacious place.

After landing, Chu Lingxiao looked at her bleeding shoulder and said worriedly: "You are injured." The blood flowed out and merged with the red clothes, turning into a bright red.

The girl in red didn't care and said, "You can't die, so there's no need to make a fuss."

Yang Shihan immediately ran forward, took the handkerchief, and tied it around the girl in red's shoulder to temporarily control the bleeding.

Seeing that his plan failed, the man in black said angrily: "Another one is here to die. Okay, I will send you on the road together today so that you can have a companion on the road."

The person who came was none other than Huo Nuannuan, who pinched Chu Lingxiao when they met. Hearing the words of the man in black, he couldn't help but sneered: "You are the only ones who want my girl's life. You are wishful thinking. I will give it to you first." I'll send you on your way." After saying that, the long whip in his hand swished like a water snake and attacked the man in black, making the man in black unable to dodge and was severely whipped.

It is said that Huo Nuannuan and Mo Jiujiu are from the same sect. Mo Jiujiu's martial arts is very good, which shows that Huo Nuannuan's martial arts are not far behind.

When several men in black saw that Huo Nuannuan's martial arts was extraordinary and difficult to deal with, they no longer underestimated the enemy and concentrated on fighting.

Chu Lingxiao waved the long sword in his hand and worked with Huo Nuannuan to deal with the man in black. After all, the men in black underestimated Huo Nuannuan's martial arts. Even the four of them were no match for Huo Nuannuan. Even if Huo Nuannuan was injured on her shoulder at this time, they could not kill her.

As a result, two men in black were knocked down the cliff by Huo Nuannuan with a long whip, while the other two had their necks strangled by her long whip. Chu Lingxiao immediately stepped forward and stabbed them with a sharp sword. Hitting their vital points and killing them, the two of them cooperated perfectly.

Although Chu Lingxiao had always known that Huo Nuannuan's martial arts was very powerful, she didn't expect it to be so powerful. Even when she was injured, the four men in black were no match for her and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him angrily.

At this time, the shadow guards and bodyguards arrived, two of the men in black escaped, and the rest were all eliminated.

Seeing that the queen was fine, the shadow guard immediately became invisible.

Chu Lingxiao walked up to Mo Qiqi and said respectfully: "Queen, please return to the palace quickly."

Mo Qiqi hesitated.

Chu Lingxiao continued to speak: "Please put the overall situation first. Your Majesty has also seen that as soon as you left the capital, someone wanted to hunt you down. Do you think you can reach the border safely and see the emperor? If so, what can you do? Unexpectedly, I'm afraid that the emperor has no intention of defending against the enemy, and those unscrupulous people have seen that the emperor cares about the empress, so they will do this to the empress."

Yang Shihan followed and persuaded: "Empress, please go back with the Prime Minister! Don't let your cousin worry."

Mo Qiqi sighed helplessly and nodded.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Yang Shihan again and persuaded: "Miss Yang, you should go back too! The men in black not only want to kill the Queen, but also attack you, because they know very well how much Master Yang cares about your daughter. If something unexpected happens to Miss Yang, I'm afraid Master Yang will also be in a state of despair, which will affect the emperor's grand plan."

"I-" Yang Shihan didn't want to go back. She just wanted to go to the border to find Mo Chengxuan.

At this time, Mr. Yang came with his people and said displeasedly: "Don't hesitate any more. Go back to the house with your father immediately."

"Dad—" Yang Shihan saw her father coming angrily and lowered her head in self-blame.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Huo Nuannuan turned to leave.

When Mo Qiqi saw this, she called out to her: "Miss Huo, don't leave yet. You are injured. You'd better go to the palace and let the imperial doctor help you heal!"

However, Huo Nuannuan said indifferently: "It's okay. This small injury is nothing to a person who walks in the world, so I'll say goodbye." She was about to fly away.

But Chu Lingxiao grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, and said in a stern tone: "You are injured and you must come with me for treatment."

Huo Nuannuan glared at him displeased and ordered: "Let go."

"Don't let go." Chu Lingxiao's tone was firm.

Huo Nuannuan threatened: "Chu Lingxiao, if you are beaten in front of so many people, your reputation as the prime minister will be wiped out in the future."

But Chu Lingxiao insisted: "Even if you beat me, I won't let go. I have to see that the injury on your shoulder is okay before I let you go." After saying this, he pulled Huo Nuannuan into his arms with a little force on his hand. , picked her up, walked towards the horse beside her, jumped on the horse, let Huo Nuannuan sit in front of her, and took her away.

Mo Qiqi and Yang Shihan looked at each other and smiled.

Mo Qiqi said in her heart: No wonder Jun Qianche said that Chu Lingxiao and Huo Nuannuan are a good match. He is indeed an emperor with unique eyesight. His eyes are so good. Huo Nuannuan and Chu Lingxiao are really a good match.

Yang Shihan followed Lord Yang back home. In order to prevent his daughter from sneaking away again, Lord Yang sent guards to guard outside his daughter's residence. As long as the eldest lady walked out of the room, she would follow her wherever she went.

Yang Shihan jumped around the room angrily.

When Mo Qiqi returned to Fengyang Palace and saw the anxious palace people, she felt very guilty, but she felt very depressed when she thought of not being able to go to Jun Qianche.

Huo Nuannuan was forcibly taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Chu Lingxiao. Because his parents had returned to the Princess' Mansion and were not in his Prime Minister's Mansion, he dared to bring Huo Nuannuan over. But it doesn't matter even if her parents are here, he will still bring her. Anyway, her mother already knows Huo Nuannuan's life experience, and she can't control what she wants to do.

"Chu Lingxiao, I said my injury is fine, why did you bring me here? I want to go back." He was about to leave.

Chu Lingxiao closed the door first, preventing her from going out.

Huo Nuannuan glared at him displeased and threatened: "Chu Lingxiao, I think you don't want to live anymore! You have also seen my martial arts just now. It will be easy to kill you."

Chu Lingxiao looked at her and said seriously: "Even if you kill me, I can't let you go. You were injured while trying to save me. I must heal you before I let you go."

"You-" Although she was very angry that Chu Lingxiao had brought her here forcibly, her words made her feel warm in her heart.

Chu Lingxiao walked up to her and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, okay? I don't have any other intentions. I just want to help you look at your injury and apply medicine for you."

Huo Nuannuan looked him up and down. He must have dared not do anything to her, so she lowered her guard, nodded and said, "Okay! Seeing that you are so sincere, I will let you serve me for once."

Chu Lingxiao smiled happily: "Sit on the bed first."

Huo Nuannuan immediately widened her eyes in displeasure and asked, "Why do you have to sit on the bed to apply the medicine? What are your intentions?"

Chu Lingxiao quickly explained: "I don't have any intentions! How dare I have any intentions against you! I just think it would be more convenient to take the medicine while sitting on the bed!"

"I hurt my shoulder. It doesn't matter where I sit to apply the medicine."

Chu Lingxiao nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, then you can see for yourself! Sit wherever you want."

Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him and walked to the imperial concubine chair to sit down.

Chu Lingxiao immediately found a few bottles, cans, cotton balls, and gauze from the drawer, came to sit down next to Huo Nuannuan, and said, "Expose the wound first."

Huo Nuannuan looked at her wound. It was on her shoulder. If she wanted to expose the wound, she had to at least take off the clothes here. But taking off her clothes in front of Chu Lingxiao, a big pervert, felt very dangerous, so she covered the wound with her hand. He hesitated and said, "It's not suitable for me to give medicine to a lonely man and a widow. I'd better find a doctor to give me medicine!"

Chu Lingxiao immediately said displeased: "No, the doctor is also a man, isn't he alone?" She thought of letting other men look at her body, even the doctor couldn't do it.

Huo Nuannuan glared at him displeased.

Chu Lingxiao quickly explained: "I don't have a doctor in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I have to ask someone to ask for one. How much time is wasted by going back and forth! You will bleed more. You are so thin and frail. Worried you’d bleed to death.”

Huo Nuannuan punched him on the shoulder rudely and said, "You cursed me, didn't you?"

"Hey, don't you dare."

"Hmph! If you are wise, if I bleed out and die, I will definitely catch you before I die." He gave him a rude look.

Chu Lingxiao smiled flatteringly and said: "Hehe, okay, okay, pull me in so you won't be lonely. I can quarrel with you every day."

Huo Nuannuan gave him a look of disgust and curled her lips.

Chu Lingxiao urged: "Hurry up and show the injury!"

Huo Nuannuan reached for his collar. When he saw him looking at him, he immediately ordered: "Turn around first."

Chu Lingxiao shook his head helplessly and did not argue with her. After all, she was injured now and could not delay any longer. He immediately turned his back obediently.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Huo Nuannuan smiled at the corner of her mouth. She quickly untied her belt, opened her clothes, and exposed the arm on the wound side. She grabbed the clothes tightly with one hand to prevent herself from being exposed or making a sound. Said: "Okay, turn around!"

Chu Lingxiao turned around and saw that one of her jade pieces was exposed and her other hand was tightly grasping her clothes. She felt it was ridiculous. His eyes fell on her wound and he realized that the blood was black. He immediately frowned. He frowned, stepped forward to check, and then concluded: "The sword is poisonous. Damn it."

Huo Nuannuan looked at him and asked, "You shouldn't be able to cure this poison! I'd better leave here and go back to Prince Lu's Mansion to cure him!" He stood up as he spoke.

Chu Lingxiao pulled her to sit down and scolded: "Be honest, if you don't treat your injury, you will die." After saying this, he immediately came forward, lowered his head, and sucked the wound on her shoulder with his lips.

Huo Nuannuan was startled at first, and a surge of anger arose spontaneously, but when she realized what he was doing, a small touch flashed through her heart, which was warm and cozy.

Chu Lingxiao lay on her shoulder and helped her suck out the poisonous blood.

Huo Nuannuan saw this and said, "It will be very dangerous for you to do this."

Chu Lingxiao raised his head, spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood into the spittoon, looked at her and comforted her: "Don't worry, I know a little bit about treating injuries, and everything will be fine." Then he lay down and helped her to take the poisonous blood.

Huo Nuannuan's little face turned red unconsciously because of his approach. She looked sideways at him, and her hard heart felt a little softer.

After sucking out a few mouthfuls of poisonous blood, the blood that flowed out turned red. Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the corner of his lips: "The poison has been sucked out, I will help you apply the medicine."

He carefully disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged her, and the wound was finally treated.

Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, the wound has been treated, but it will take a few days to heal, and you need to take medicine every morning and evening."

Huo Nuannuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you!" She turned around and put on her clothes. He stood up and said, "I'm leaving." "

Chu Lingxiao immediately stopped her: "No, you can't leave."

Huo Nuannuan frowned slightly and asked, "Why? Hasn't the wound been taken care of?"

Chu Lingxiao thought for a while and said: "I, I haven't seen your wound heal with my own eyes! So you can't leave. You were injured because of me. If anything happens to you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Besides, , if you go back like this, if cousin Lu knows about your injury, it will be my fault, so you can't leave."

Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I don't go back, my sister and brother-in-law will be worried!"

Chu Lingxiao had an idea and said, "Let's do this! I'll send someone to tell Cousin Lu and Cousin Lu."

Huo Nuannuan objected: "No, I am a girl staying in the house of a romantic prime minister like you. What will they think if they find out? My reputation will be ruined by you. No, no. You say that , they will only be more worried.”

Chu Lingxiao had an idea and said: "Let's do this! I said that the Queen met an assassin today and was frightened. You happened to show up to save the Queen. The Queen trusts you very much, so I hope you will stay with me for a few days to relieve the injury. of the soul. That’s all right!”

Huo Nuannuan looked him up and down rudely and said mockingly: "It's really not that simple!"

Chu Lingxiao said proudly: "I am the Prime Minister, so it is not easy to sit in this position."

Huo Nuannuan curled her lips and said sarcastically: "I really can't tell the difference between good and bad. What I said is not simple. It's not simple for you to tell lies. You are full of lies. Hey! If any woman marries a man like you in the future, But I'm going to be unlucky, I'm afraid I'll have to live a lie every day."

Chu Lingxiao immediately defended himself: "Hey! You can't say that to me. I'm doing this for your own good! Think about it! Cousin Lu and Cousin Lu care about you so much. If they know that you are injured, they will They will definitely be worried, and if you do as I say, not only will they not know that you are injured, but they will also think that you are great. Not only did you save the Queen, but you also gained the Queen's trust. How proud you are!"

Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him, but then said, "But you are right about one thing. If my sister and brother-in-law know that I am injured, they will definitely be very worried."

"That's right! So you have to stay here for a few days." Chu Lingxiao said proudly.

Huo Nuannuan pointed at him and warned him rudely: "It's not impossible to let me stay here for a few days, but just listen to me and don't make any plans. If you dare to have evil intentions towards me, I will kill you at any time." It could kill you."

Chu Lingxiao nodded immediately: "Yes, yes! Miss Huo, don't worry, I have absolutely no evil intentions towards you. You are not my type. I like charming, charming and sexy people, and you, Ahem, obviously not that kind."

Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him with disdain and said, "That's fine."

Chu Lingxiao glanced at her clothes and said, "Your clothes are stained with blood. I'll have someone prepare two new ones for you. You can stay here for the next few days! You've lost a lot of blood. You should take good care of it." Have a rest. During lunch, I will ask my servants to help you bring it in. I have other things to do, so I won’t accompany you."

Huo Nuannuan sneered rudely again: "I know that the Prime Minister is busy walking among the flowers every day, so go quickly! Don't waste time here, so as to save those girls from complaining."

When Chu Lingxiao heard what she said, he immediately stopped and explained: "It's not what you think. I want to go into the palace to see the Queen and discuss some matters with her."

Huo Nuannuan raised her chin arrogantly and said, "You don't need to explain to me what you want to do. Let's go!"

Chu Lingxiao didn't know why he had to explain to her. If she misunderstood, she would misunderstand. What love thinks and thinks has anything to do with him. It's strange.

Yongshou Palace

Jun Yuehen walked in displeasedly and came to the front of the Empress Dowager with an ugly expression on her face.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said: "Hen'er, why did you come so suddenly, and you didn't let anyone tell the queen mother in advance? Her face is so ugly, who can anger our Hen'er?"

Jun Yuehen glanced at the palace attendant beside his mother.

The Empress Dowager said calmly: "You all go down!"

"Yes!" The palace people retreated, leaving only the mother and son in the palace.

Jun Yuehen immediately asked her mother displeased: "Mother, why did you send people to assassinate Qiqi and Yang Shihan?"

The Queen Mother guessed that her son came over angrily and must have known about it, so she did not hide it and said: "It is natural for a mother to do this."

"Don't the Queen Mother know how my son-in-law feels about Qiqi? Why do you want someone to kill her?" Jun Yuehen was really angry when he got the news today. Fortunately, they missed it, otherwise he and Qiqi would be heavenly beings now. Separated forever.

Seeing her son's impatience, the Queen Mother was angry and said displeasedly: "Yue Hen, if you want to achieve great things, if you want to have a vicious heart, you must have the mind to give up. What's so good about Mo Qiqi? She has been married before. I also gave birth to a child for Jun Qianche. Such a woman is not worthy of you at all. Do you want to marry such a woman as your queen after you ascend the throne? You will be ridiculed by everyone in the world."

"I don't care. I only have Qiqi in my life. No matter whether she has married someone or given birth to a child, these children don't care. If the queen mother insists on killing Qiqi, I won't want to do anything without Qiqi." emperor."

"Confused." The Queen Mother reprimanded angrily: "For a woman, you actually said such words. You have disappointed my mother so much."

"Mother, I really don't understand why you want to kill Qiqi? We still need the support of the Duke of Zhen. If something happens to Qiqi, do you think the Duke of Zhen will help us?" Jun Yuehen asked his mother .

However, the Empress Dowager's eyes shone brightly as she said: "Mo Qiqi was killed outside the palace. We can blame this incident on Jun Qianche, and say that it was the assassin secretly sent by Jun Qianche before he left. We feel that leaving Zhuo Mo Qiqi is a hidden danger in the palace, so she must be eliminated. Duke Zhen Guo has a lot of dissatisfaction with Jun Qianche, so it is easy to be blinded, and he will definitely believe it.

And when Jun Qianche received the news of Mo Qiqi's death, he would definitely be very sad. How could he still be in the mood to defend himself against the enemy? Then the people we send to the border can easily get rid of him.

As for Yang Shihan, the reason why I want to kill her is to bring the relationship between the Mo family and the Yang family to an irreversible point. You must know that the discord between the Yang family and the Mo family is not actually a deep hatred, it is just a disagreement in the court. If Yang Shihan Because he went to the border to look for Mo Chengxuan and was killed, then Yang Jingtian would definitely hate the Mo family. And if Yang Shihan died, Yang Jingtian would be devastated when he received the bad news of her death. Then he would not be in the mood to help Jun Qianche in the court. We are equal to It broke one of Jun Qianche's wings. If we can successfully kill the prime minister again, then the palace will be ours. When the time comes, no one will stop you from ascending the throne as emperor. It's a pity that Mo Qiqi and Yang Shihan's lives were too great. So many killers were sent, but they couldn't be killed. But it doesn't matter, we can find another chance. In addition, I have sent people to the border to get rid of the other Mo Chengxuan is alone. If Mo Chengxuan dies in this war, the Duke of Zhenguo will be very sad and angry. He will definitely hate Jun Qianche. Then, there will be no need to worry about him anymore. Will switch sides. Even if Mo Qiqi persuades him, he will not change his determination to help us. Hen'er, if you want to achieve hegemony, you must not have the kindness of a woman. "

Jun Yuehen disagreed and said: "I don't care who the queen wants to kill or what her plan is, but Qiqi must not be harmed. If Qiqi is gone, I will be miserable. If the queen doesn't want her son I am so sad that I have been unable to recover from this, and I hope you will stop here."

"You, you really disappoint the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother said displeased.

Jun Yuehen smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, I have always listened to you since I was a child. I will do whatever you ask me to do. In fact, I could have made a very good uncle-nephew pair with Jun Qianche. At our age We are only a few years apart. When we were young, we were really happy and carefree playing together. However, as we grew older, my mother began to instill in me the idea of competing for the throne, which turned me against him.

Sometimes I think, if I had never had the ambition to compete, maybe Jun Qianche would not have married Qiqi to stabilize the court for you. Then Qiqi and I would have been husband and wife, and maybe we would have a son and a daughter now. Live a happy life.

But just because my mother asked me to fight for the throne, I lost the woman I loved most, and now you want to kill her. Mother, I will never let you hurt Qiqi. If something happens to Qiqi, I will definitely go with her. "

"you-"

"My son, please retire." Jun Yuehen gave his mother a warning and left.

But Gong Yaxian was hiding outside and heard their conversation. When she saw Jun Yuehen coming out, she immediately slipped away.

Fengyang Palace

Chu Lingxiao was persuading Mo Qiqi.

"The Queen, you were so impulsive when you rashly left the palace to go to the border last night. Fortunately, there was no danger today. If there is something wrong with the Queen, what do you want the emperor to do?"

"I'm really worried about the emperor." Mo Qiqi didn't hide her worry and looked at Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Lingxiao understood: "I know that the Queen and the Emperor have a good relationship, and I am worried about the Emperor. However, the Emperor is at the border and will take good care of himself for the sake of the Queen. Before the Emperor left, he gave the Queen many important things. I hope that the Queen will stay at home. Is there any change in the palace that can help him? If the empress leaves, the emperor's plans will be disrupted, and the emperor may lose completely. I think that is not what the empress wants to see!

Moreover, the road to the border is long and dangerous. Do you think you can get to the border smoothly

Today's assassination, I am sure, even if I don't tell you, the empress also knows who did it. They just want to kill the empress, instigate the Duke of Zhen to attack the emperor, make the emperor miserable, and then defeat the emperor in one fell swoop. The empress must put the overall situation first for the sake of the emperor. The current separation is only temporary. Once the emperor wins, the empress and the emperor will be together forever. Please bear with the worry and lovesickness for a while, consider the overall situation and the emperor's plan. The emperor gave the token to the empress in the hope that the empress could help her when necessary. How sad it would be if the emperor knew that the empress used this token to secretly leave the palace! "

She understood what Chu Lingxiao said, but it was really hard to worry about someone alone.

"I have remembered what the Prime Minister said. I will not go to the border secretly anymore. I will listen to the Emperor and stay in the palace. Don't worry, Prime Minister!"

Chu Lingxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of the Emperor, and also thank the Queen for putting the overall situation first."

Mo Qiqi looked at him and said, "I hope that the few things the emperor gave me will never be used."

Chu Lingxiao nodded.

Mo Qiqi changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is Miss Huo's injury?"

Chu Lingxiao raised the corners of her lips: "Don't worry, Madam, that girl's life is in danger! She won't die. The wound has been treated, but it will take a few days to heal."

"It's really thanks to Miss Huo this time, otherwise not only the Prime Minister's life will be in danger, but the lives of me and Miss Yang will also be in danger. On my behalf, thank you Miss Huo for taking her to the palace to play when you have time."

Chu Lingxiao nodded, and then said truthfully: "The Queen, I may need your help in one matter. If Prince Lu and Princess Lu send someone to ask about Huo Nuannuan, I hope the Queen can help." Huo Nuannuan was recuperating in the Prime Minister's Mansion and told Mo Qiqi the little lie she made up.

Mo Qiqi laughed after hearing this: "The Prime Minister worked hard to keep the beauty, and even used me as a shield."

Chu Lingxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't help it! Huo Nuannuan was injured because of me, so I have to wait until she recovers before letting her go! But that girl has a stubborn temper, so I can only do this."

Mo Qiqi smiled understandingly: "Don't worry! If Prince Lu sends someone to ask, I will help you to cover up your lies."

"Thank you, Queen." Chu Lingxiao said sincerely.

Mo Qiqi looked at him and said: "To be honest, when the emperor said that you and Huo Nuannuan were a good match, I really didn't think that you were worthy of this girl. But seeing you together today, I really I think you two are a good match, Huo Nuannuan is a good girl, cherish her, don’t go to that kind of place with fireworks again, and don’t do things that make other girls feel disappointed."

After hearing this, Chu Lingxiao quickly explained: "Queen, please don't misunderstand me. Huo Nuannuan and I were pure before! I have absolutely no such thoughts towards her. Heaven and earth can tell. Why do you all think we are a good match? ! How can we be a good match? For someone as handsome as me, I need to find a peerless beauty to be worthy of me."

Three black lines slid down Mo Qiqi's forehead, reminding her: "Don't say it too early. For a girl like Nuan Nuan, I believe there will be many people pursuing her, and they might not like you!"

"Her? Hahaha, it would be great if someone wants her." Chu Lingxiao sneered unceremoniously.

Mo Qiqi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Huo Nuannuan should have said this to you. You've said enough to someone else's girl."

"Your Majesty, Miss Yaxian would like to see you." Banxiang walked in and reported.

Mo Qiqi and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Why is Yaxian here suddenly?"

"Yes! Even though that girl is from the emperor—"

Mo Qiqi glared at Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Lingxiao immediately explained: "What I mean is that in order to gain the trust of the Queen Mother, the person placed by the Emperor should come to your place less often to avoid suspicion!" Jun Qianche does everything. He told Chu Lingxiao that he would not hide it from him, so he knew that Yaxian was on their side.

Mo Qiqi said: "Ya Xian would naturally think of avoiding suspicion, but she still came. She must have something important to do. Let her in quickly."

"Yes!" Banxiang retreated.

Soon Gong Yaxian walked in, a little anxious.

Mo Qiqi greeted: "Yaxian, come and sit down."

Gong Yaxian sat down at the table. Seeing that Chu Lingxiao was there, she nodded and said, "Cousin Lingxiao is also here."

Chu Lingxiao looked at her and said: "Yaxian, why are you here suddenly? If the Queen Mother finds out, I'm afraid she will be suspicious."

Gong Yaxian said calmly: "Don't worry, she doesn't have the energy to doubt me now."

"Yaxian, you came here in such a hurry, did something happen?" Mo Qiqi asked worriedly. Now the Empress Dowager is the most dangerous person to them. As long as there is any trouble on her side, they will be very worried, not knowing what terrible things she will do.

Gong Yaxian nodded and told them what she heard.

Mo Qiqi and Chu Lingxiao were not surprised after hearing this, and said calmly: "I had already guessed that it would be the Empress Dowager. When I leave the palace, the Empress Dowager must be the first to get the news."

Chu Lingxiao joked: "If it is for this matter, Yaxian, there is really no need for you to make this trip. We all know who the Empress Dowager is, so if something happens, she will be the first one to think of her."

Gong Yaxian continued: "I also heard one thing they said. Not only did they plan to attack the emperor at the border, they also wanted to kill General Mo."

Mo Qiqi was shocked after hearing this: "What? They want to kill brother? Why?"

Gong Yaxian quickly told them what she heard: "The Empress Dowager said that as long as General Mo dies in this war, Duke Zhen will never forgive the emperor again and will fight to the end with him. , which is good for them.”

"Damn it!" Mo Qiqi roared angrily: "Dad trusts them so much and wants to help them seize Jun Qianche's throne. They are so heartless to treat the Mo family like this. No, I will go to Zhenguo now Lord, tell dad about this."

When Chu Lingxiao saw this, he immediately stopped him: "Mother, you can't go back now. If you go back and tell Duke Zhen about this, I'm afraid Duke Zhen won't believe it, and he will think someone is deliberately trying to provoke discord between the Mo family and the Seven Sage Kings. Relationship, this matter was only heard by Yaxian, and there is no evidence, so you can't convince the Duke of Zhen.

And if you go and tell the Duke of Zhen Guo about this matter to the Empress Dowager or the Seven Sage Kings, then Yaxian will be easily exposed. Do you think the Empress Dowager will forgive Yaxian for her cruelty? Yaxian will be in danger of her life. "

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to watch them assassinate my brother?" Mo Qiqi was very anxious. She had been here for a year and already regarded the Mo family as her relatives, and her brother had always loved her very much, so she really I don't want anything to happen to him.

Chu Lingxiao comforted: "Queen, don't worry, I will repair the book immediately and have it sent to the border and notify General Mo. This will also let General Mo know what kind of people the Empress Dowager and the Seven Wise Kings are. I believe General Mo I can make a correct judgment. I can feel that General Mo has no intention of rebellion. Instead, he has been persuading the Duke of Zhen not to rebel. If General Mo can find evidence at the border that the Queen Mother and the Seven Sage Kings want to kill him, Then we can persuade the Duke of Zhen to stop helping the Seven Wise Kings."

Mo Qiqi and Gong Yaxian nodded, thinking this method was feasible.

Chu Lingxiao immediately went back to his house to write a secret letter.

Gong Yaxian did not dare to stay long and left quickly.

Mo Qiqi's heart couldn't calm down, she always felt that something was going to happen.

At night, Jun Yuehen came to Fengyang Palace.

Although Jun Qianche was not in the palace now, he still wanted to avoid suspicion, so he did not come blatantly, but took advantage of the night to see her.

When Mo Qiqi saw him walking in, a smile appeared on her lips: "Yuehen, why are you here? Is it very leisurely tonight?"

Jun Yuehen looked at her, looked her up and down, and asked, "I heard that you secretly left the palace last night and met an assassin today. Were you injured?"

Mo Qiqi shook her head: "Don't worry about Yue Hen, I'm fine, look." She turned around to show him.

"Qiqi—" Jun Yuehen suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.

Mo Qiqi was startled, but pretended to be calm and said: "Yue Hen, what's wrong with you?" Was it because he wanted to assassinate her and she felt guilty? But I feel this way now, don’t you think it’s too late? If Huo Nuannuan and Chu Lingxiao hadn't appeared in time, he might have died long ago.

Jun Yuehen looked at her and said seriously: "Qiqi, do you know that I am really worried about you when I know that you have met an assassin? Why did you suddenly leave the palace? They all said that you were going to the border to find Jun. Qian Che, is it true? Didn't you tell me that you have given up on him? Are you staying in the palace just to destroy his throne? Is Qiqi lying to me? "

Mo Qiqi shook her head: "No, Qiqi did not lie to Yuehen. I stayed in the palace really to destroy Jun Qianche's throne. I left the palace last night, not to go to the border to find Jun Qianche. This must be It was the news deliberately spread by the prime minister to confuse dad and make him mistakenly think that Jun Qianche and I have a good relationship. In fact, the reason why I left the palace last night was because - I had a dream. I dreamed about my child. He was in the dream. He told me that he missed me very much and wanted me to go see him. So, I secretly left the palace. I heard that the child was buried outside the capital, but I didn’t know the specific location, so I was alone. I went to look for it, but it was too dark and difficult to find. It was very cold at the time, so I wanted to find a place to rest for the night and then look for it again at dawn tomorrow. Unexpectedly, I met Yang Shihan in a temple outside the city. In order to deceive her, I just said that I would go to the border to find the emperor.

The next day, she pulled me and wanted to go with me, and then she was assassinated. "

Jun Yuehen was a little doubtful: "Is what Qiqi said true?"

Mo Qiqi nodded: "I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, Yuehen, take a look at the baggage I brought with me when I left the palace last night." He took out the baggage from the cabinet and opened it for Jun Yuehen to see. It contained some children's belongings. Clothes, toys, food.

She guessed that Jun Yuehen would definitely come, so she changed the things in the bag when she came back. Seeing this, Jun Yuehen had no reason to stop believing. He patted her shoulder and blamed himself: "Qiqi, it's not that I don't believe in you, but I'm afraid of losing you."

Mo Qiqi nodded and said: "I understand Yuehen's thoughts. I once loved someone so fearfully, but in the end, I still failed to win his heart and was scarred all over by him."

"Qiqi, don't worry, I will treat you well in the future and make you happy, and I will never let anyone hurt you again."

Mo Qiqi smiled and said, "Yuehen, do you know who wants to assassinate me?" She looked at him deliberately and asked.

Jun Yuehen didn't dare to face her eyes, and his eyes were a little dodgey as he said, "I think Jun Qianche should have sent someone to do this."

Mo Qiqi pretended to be surprised: "Jun Qianche, he is not in the palace, there is no way he knew I was leaving the palace, so why would he send someone to assassinate me?" Jun Yuehen, you are really stubborn, every time Whenever an assassination occurs, you will immediately blame Jun Qianche without hesitation. Even if he is not in Kyoto, you will still blame him. I want to see what reasons and excuses you have this time.

Jun Yuehen analyzed calmly: "Although Jun Qianche is not in the capital, it is not difficult to do this. I heard that you were assassinated today and a shadow guard came out to rescue you. Since he can arrange for the shadow guard to watch in secret Looking at you, why can't we arrange killers to spy on you secretly? Once you leave the palace, those killers will be ordered to kill you, and those shadow guards are just showing off, just to show Mo Mansion that the emperor cares about you. , even after leaving Kyoto, I will send someone to protect you secretly. Jun Qianche’s palace is very deep, Qiqi, you must not be deceived by her again."

Mo Qiqi nodded: "Don't worry Yuehen, I won't trust him again. Jun Qianche is so cruel." Jun Yuehen, your lying skills have really been practiced to the point of perfection. If you knew, we would be mutually beneficial to each other. How would you feel if you were deceiving the other person? Feel guilty? Or will it be embarrassing? Or will you become angry

"Qiqi, didn't you say before that Jun Qianche said that if he went to the border, he would give you the jade seal? Is the jade seal in your hands now? If you want to destroy his empire, it is actually very easy. Write an imperial edict now and say King Ningnan rebelled and sent people to kill him. As long as the jade seal is stamped, King Ningnan will definitely die. King Ningnan is a force secretly cultivated by Jun Qianche in Ningnan. If he is removed, Jun Qianche will be severely hurt. "." King Ningnan is now the most taboo force for them. They don't know the strength of this force, so if they can successfully get rid of King Ningnan, it will be of great benefit to them.

Mo Qiqi was shocked after hearing this. In fact, when she told Jun Yuehen about the jade seal, she just said it casually. She didn't expect that Jun Qianche would actually give the jade seal to her before leaving. But now, Jun Yuehen She could never agree to the attempt to use this jade seal to harm King Ningnan, so she could only continue to lie to King Yuehen.

Mo Qiqi sighed in despair: "I'm really stupid. I was deceived by Jun Qianche again this time. At that time, he told me that as long as I followed him back to the palace, he would give me the jade seal after he went out to take charge. But But he broke his promise. Before leaving, he only gave me a token, saying that the token was very powerful. It allowed me to enter and leave the palace freely, and I could order the soldiers in the capital. But with only a token, without a jade seal, there would be no imperial edict. , what is the use of this token, but it can only enter and exit the palace freely, so Jun Qianche is a liar and has been lying to me.

I am too stupid, how could he give the jade seal to me! I am the daughter of the Mo family. He has always regarded the Mo family as his enemy and wants to eradicate it. If he gives the jade seal to me, it will be equivalent to handing the world into the hands of the enemy. He is so smart, how could he make such a mistake! So he didn’t give me the Yuxi at all. Maybe it was because my acting skills were not good and he saw that I no longer loved him! Therefore, the jade seal must have been given to someone he trusted, or hidden, or taken away. "

Jun Yuehen looked at Mo Qiqi's expression without any trace, trying to see any flaws in her face, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

The look of loss and bitterness on Mo Qiqi's face made Jun Yuehen a little hurt. In fact, she kept saying that she had given up on Jun Qianche, but deep down in her heart, she still longed for Jun Qianche! If Jun Qianche gives her the jade seal during this expedition, will she regain hope in him

From this point of view, should she be happy that Jun Qianche did not give the jade seal to her

"Qiqi, Jun Qianche has long wanted to get rid of the Mo family, so you should be able to imagine that he won't give you the jade seal. So what are you going to do next? Will you continue to stay in the palace?" Jun Yuehen asked, I hope she can leave with him.

Mo Qiqi's answer was destined to disappoint him. Mo Qiqi nodded and said in a firm tone: "I will continue to stay in the palace. Yuehen, you have also seen that as soon as I left the palace, someone wanted to kill me." I, you are right, must be the killer sent secretly by Jun Qianche. The reason why he asked me to return to the palace is to stabilize the Mo family. And if I don't listen to him and leave the palace with the token, secretly The killer will kill me to show the Mo family some shame, so I can't leave the palace. If I stay in the palace, I will be safe. If I leave the palace, I will die. I won't see Jun Qianche's country collapse without my own eyes. Fall, I am not willing to leave."

"Qiqi——"

"Yuehen, stop talking and give me some more time." Jun Yuehen, do you regret saying that those assassins were sent by Jun Qianche? You wouldn't have thought that I would use these assassins to find a good excuse to stay in the palace!

Jun Yuehen didn't say anything else. He complained that his mother sent someone to assassinate Mo Qiqi, causing him to miss the opportunity to let her leave the palace.

Border crossing half a month later.

After nearly a month of traveling, the army finally arrived at the border.

When all the soldiers saw Jun Qianche coming, they all came out to salute: "See you, Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

Jun Qianche looked at the soldiers and said majestically and forcefully: "Soldiers, please keep your body level. This is a border pass, so there are no need for so many rules. The army has come all the way. It's been a hard work. Let's rest for two days before discussing the battle plan.

The generals at the border and the cavalry camp will come to my tent later. I have important matters to discuss with you. "

"Yes!" All the soldiers said in unison.

Han Yixiao escorted the driver to the border. Ever since he got off his horse, he saw Bai Jiu coming out to pick him up. His eyes had been on her, but Bai Jiu felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him.

Jun Qianche followed a general to the tent prepared for him, and the soldiers dispersed.

Bai Jiu planned to sneak away while there were many people.

Han Yixiao kept his eyes locked on her. When he saw Bai Jiu slipping away, he immediately followed her.

Bai Jiu quickened his pace and returned to his tent. He patted his chest and felt his heart beating so hard. What happened that night kept replaying before my eyes. Nearly two months had passed. I thought I would be able to face it calmly when I saw him again, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't. My heartbeat was still so fast and I was so nervous.

And just when Bai Jiu was very happy that she had taken advantage of the crowd to sneak away, she didn't realize that the tent behind her was opened. Han Yixiao strode in and grabbed her wrist.

Bai Jiu was startled and turned to look at the people who rushed in. Han Yixiao's face was extremely ugly.

Mo Qiqi could only try her best to pretend to be calm, and said with a smile: "Hey, General, hello! You've been working hard all the way, why don't you go and rest?"

"Bai Jiu, you liar, you still want to hide, let's see how long you can hide." Han Yixiao accused angrily.

Bai Jiu looked embarrassed and said: "I, what did I lie to the general? I, I didn't want to hide from the general! It's just that I have something to do now, so I went back to the camp."

"I have something to tell you, let's go." He pulled Bai Jiu towards the outside of the camp.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?" Bai Jiu asked.

"Shut up." Han Yixiao threw these two words to her coldly and pulled her out of the tent in stride.
