The woman obviously didn't expect such a result, and she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
But the next moment, Xu Tianming had already stuffed the hairpin into her hand, "I don't have time to hang around here with you, return the things to you, go back the same way!"
"Dare to ask the young hero, who is he?" The woman asked urgently, "The little girl Guan Shengxue is..."
Xu Tianming walked very fast, before she finished her nonsense, he was nowhere to be seen in the woods, the speed was astonishing.
However, Xu Tianming heard the name of Guan Shengxue, and he had a very good memory, so he naturally wrote it down casually.
What he wants to do now is, how can he steal the soul-returning Gu from the hands of the clan guards, and the specific burial place
"Brother!"
A shout from behind stunned Xu Tianming, he lowered his head and only cared about walking, he really didn't expect that there were people following behind him, what a carelessness!
"Brother!" Zhao Lianyi lightly fell from the treetops, "It's very pleasant for a hero to save the beauty!"
Xu Tianming put his arms around his chest and lived for thousands of years, but he would never live alone. This body was originally owned by the Wu Clan, so he also went outside the pass, but unfortunately his body couldn't bear it, and finally came back.
"Senior brother betrayed the Wu clan, so he came here to Nanwan, but he didn't say hello to me, and I had to be chased away by those old bastards, what a heartless one." Zhao Lianyi's beautiful little face, Frowning slightly, she stared at him with displeasure.
Xu Tianming smiled, but his eyes grew darker. Now the old man and the people of the Wu Clan join hands to suppress him with figurines Gu to prevent him from escaping again. I guess he will find here soon? !
"Brother, why don't you talk?" Zhao Lianyi snorted softly, "Master died in the desert because of our affairs, you can't leave me alone, can you? Brother, brother?"
Xu Tianming pursed his lips into a smile, and glanced coldly at the little junior sister in front of him, "Then follow! Anyway, I have nowhere to go, and we will be homeless everywhere from now on, home everywhere."
Zhao Lianyi couldn't ask for more.
The brother has a good temper, good martial arts, and high comprehension. Even the master said that it is rare to meet such an apprentice in a hundred years. In addition... the senior brother was born so handsome and unparalleled, who wouldn't be tempted to see it? And looking at the brows and eyes, like the sun, the moon and the stars, there is always a bit of alienation in the eyes, but it is also this alienation, which makes people more and more unbearable and irresistible.
Humans always like challenging things.
"Senior brother, where are we going?" Zhao Lianyi followed Xu Tianming closely, "Where are we going? I'm not familiar with this Nanwan, so senior brother will sell me, right?"
"Sell it in the flower house and exchange it for wine?" Xu Tianming smiled wickedly.
Zhao Lianyi curled her lips, "Senior brother, there is no half-truth in his mouth! If you bully me again, I will lose my face!"
"Yes, Junior Sister!" Xu Tianming continued to walk forward, "Let's go... Dongdu!"
Dongdu? !
Zhao Lianyi's eyes lit up, "Brother, you mean that the capital city of Nanwan, I heard that Dongdu is very prosperous, and there are many interesting things in it. I don't know what it is? Do you know anyone in Dongdu?"
People you know
Xu Tianming thought for a while, he didn't have emotions and desires, but he was born with a particularly good sex appeal. This is probably God's will, the most ruthless person is the most pleasing to women, the worse you are, the more they will never forget, the more they will never forget.
Dongdu City is very prosperous.
Xu Tianming remembered that he came here a long time ago, but at that time, this place was not Nanwan, and naturally there would be no Nanwan capital. In the blink of an eye for a hundred years, this place has become a prosperous and prosperous place, so strange, it still looks like he has seen it before.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Zhao Lianyi felt that his eyes were almost blind.
The prosperity in the Eastern Capital City is really much more beautiful than the desert. There is no sandstorm, no heat, and no fear of lack of water. The women here are all beautiful and gorgeously dressed, which makes people feel fresh and full of envy.
Living in a small courtyard in the eastern capital, Zhao Lianyi felt that this was the happiest day in her life, because every day was full of freshness.
The only shortcoming is that the senior brother often goes out alone and comes back in the middle of the night, even if she asks, the senior brother will still be vague, and after a long time, she will not ask any more questions.
Until one day, a woman followed behind the brother.
The woman's appearance was not very beautiful, at least Zhao Lianyi looked in the mirror and felt that she was far superior to that woman, but for some reason, the senior brother treated her with respect.
"Brother, who is she?" Zhao Lianyi asked impatiently after the woman left.
"In the Eastern Capital City, Wei Ruoyun, the daughter of the Great General Wei's family!" Xu Tianming took a deep breath, "Why, don't you like it?"
Zhao Lianyi nodded, "I always feel that the way she looks at you is not right, and there is a hint of sternness in her eyes. I always feel that the city is not shallow, and it is better for seniors to be careful. This woman is not a kind person."
"I'm no weaker than you in my ability to perceive words and emotions." Xu Tianming stood under the eaves, "I suddenly felt that this Nanwan is quite interesting."
"It was quite interesting, but now, I don't think so." Zhao Lianyi pouted, "Brother, how long do we have to stay in Dongdu? Or, let's go! It's good to go anywhere, but not here .”
"If you want to leave, you can leave at any time!" Xu Tianming walked towards the door slowly.
Zhao Lianyi stomped her feet, "Brother, what exactly do you want?"
"I want to find the guardian." Xu Tianming turned to look at her, "We betrayed the Wu clan, so we should find someone to belong to. I want to get the treasure of the guardian."
"Why?" Zhao Lianyi was puzzled, "At the beginning, it was because you and Master wanted to pursue longevity, so the patriarch and elders were expelled, but now that Master is gone, why do you want to... Longevity, it's just that you don't want to live forever. possible things."
"I'm dying!" Xu Tianming looked indifferent, with a little sadness in his eyes, "Only the treasure of the clan protector can save me."
Zhao Lianyi was shocked, and rushed to him quickly, looking at him incredulously, senior brother looked very healthy, how could...
Xu Tianming's ending sounded long, and he stretched out his hand to caress the girl's immature face, "Senior Brother will work hard to live, because he still has to take care of Junior Sister, so he can't just die like this. Junior Sister, I'm doing this for you, do you understand?"
"Brother?" Zhao Lianyi's eyes were red, but she couldn't say a word.
How did that happen
"Be good." Xu Tianming smiled miserably, and walked outside slowly. After leaving the door, he put on a cold face again, "Women are troublesome, and they are really easy to deceive! Ha..."
However, this guardian family hides really deep enough, if not for the fact that the Wei family has some connection with the guardian family, he would not bother to walk around with those officials and eunuchs.
Especially that Wei Ruoyun, really thought he couldn't understand that woman's mind? It's just a pair of skins, but it's so ridiculous and funny to coax a bunch of women around!
The people on the street were talking about who in the palace became a noble concubine again. Who would have thought that the first to conceive was not the queen or the emperor's favorite Nanfei, but the Guan who had just entered the palace. Shi.
I heard that this Guan family has a lot of background, his father is a grand master, and his elder brother is Guan Shannian, the Minister of Rites.
Of course, Guan Shi was indeed beautiful.
But this palace is never home.
When she first entered the palace, Guan Shengxue felt that although the palace was magnificent, there was no freedom, and people stared at her wherever she went, which was really uncomfortable. Especially after she became pregnant, the empress stared at her covetously, and all the concubines in the harem also stared at her closely.
She didn't know why no one in the harem had ever conceived, and she just caught up with the first one. Because of this, the emperor honored and favored the Guan family a lot of favors, and named her Concubine Xue.
In private, there are still people who call him the Guan family.
"The emperor's heir in the empress' belly is the eldest son of the emperor." Mo Yu held a fan in his hand, and gently shook it against the ice dome, trying to blow the master on the soft couch as much as possible.
The weather in summer is too hot, and pregnant women are especially afraid of heat.
It was fine for Guan Shengxue to lie still, but when she moved, she was covered in sweat and felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, other people have severe morning sickness, but she doesn't have it at all. She can walk and run, eat and drink, and has nothing to worry about.
The people below brought up a plate of washed grapes, chilled with ice cubes, which was really good.
"Sour... bah, bah!" Guan Shengxue frowned, and was about to spit out the grapes that had been stuffed into his mouth.
Mo Yu looked at her master worriedly, "Ma'am, those old people say it's good to eat sour!"
"I don't like sour food!" Guan Shengxue shook his head, gently stroking his protruding belly, "I want a little princess."
This startled Moyu, he hurriedly put down his fan, got up to check, but fortunately there was no one else around, he was relieved, "Ma'am, don't say such things in the future, who in this palace doesn't want a mother to rely on her son to be precious?" , the one in your belly must be the eldest son of the emperor!"
"The eldest son is not the first son, so what's so special?" Guan Shengxue joked, but the next moment, she sat up on the soft couch and looked at the grape skin she had spit out on the ground.
Mo Yu was shocked, and the fan fell to the ground with a thud.
The next moment, Mo Yu hurried to fetch water, "Your Majesty, rinse your mouth quickly! Hurry up!"
Guan Shengxue rinsed her mouth in a panic until her mouth was dry and the smell was gone...
The little snowball that Empress Nanfei gave me, licked the grape skin a few times, and then ate the grape skin, and now it has fallen to the ground, with blood dripping from the corner of its mouth, it can be seen that it was poisoned to death...
When the imperial physician arrived, Guan Shengxue huddled in the corner of the bed.
Little Xueqiu's body was disposed of, but if she didn't like sour food, she might be the one who died. Thinking about it, I feel extremely terrible. Almost, really just a little bit!
The emperor was naturally taken aback by the methods of the harem, but after all, there was no evidence, so he reprimanded him lightly, and the matter was over.
But Guan Shengxue couldn't make it through, and almost entered the gate of hell... Both mother and child died.
This is to let her die twice!
Guan Shengxue never thought that the relationship between people would be so scary. She grew up under the love of her father and brother. She had never seen such a terrible thing, let alone thought it would happen to herself.
When she thought of her child, who almost never came to this world, she hated her so much that she gritted her teeth with hatred. Also from then on, Guan Shengxue's temperament gradually changed, she no longer liked to laugh, and often stayed alone quietly.
Later, the eldest son of the emperor, Bo Yunchong, was born.
The eldest son is not always the son of the legitimate son. In this palace, only the eldest son of the legitimate son is eligible to inherit the crown prince. Occasionally someone brought it up and discussed it in private, and it fell into Guan Shengxue's ears, and he always felt panicked and ashamed of this child.
Especially not long after she gave birth, the queen was also pregnant.
The queen has been in the palace for many years and has never been pregnant. Who knows...
For the queen, this is a great thing. No matter how many children and concubines there are in the harem, only the empress is orthodox, and the son of the empress is the legitimate son, so that he can sit on the prince's position in a legitimate way.
Only the crown prince has the chance to inherit the throne.
Guanju Palace.
"Your Majesty?" The maidservant Yuchan stepped forward to salute, and immediately put the shawl lightly on the master's body, "Don't look, the emperor won't come here today, the empress empress is pregnant, it is a great joy in the harem, so..."
With a peerless face, a sweet smile, and a clear voice like jade beads dropped into a plate, "I know he won't come, no matter whether he will come or not, the day will still be bright, and life will still be like this. He is the king and I am the concubine. From the day I entered the palace, I knew what I was doing."
"Your Majesty?" Yuchan frowned.
"I'm just used to standing still. I always feel that this is the only way I can be worthy of myself. It seems that this is the only way to prove that I am flesh and blood, different from those people in the palace." She caressed her lower abdomen, narrowed her eyes and walked towards the bedroom.
It is not a good thing to have no heir in the harem.
The empress is pregnant, and the three-day celebration in the palace, when the Guan family is pregnant with the emperor's eldest son, has never been so lively. It can be seen that not all women in this palace are valued according to their sons, and some are valued according to their mothers.
At the banquet, Nanfei Empress was unable to attend the banquet due to illness.
Guan Shengxue, on the other hand, sat quietly for a long time, only to feel mocking eyes and mocking smiles everywhere. The eldest son of the emperor can't resist, but the unborn son in the empress' womb!
The matter of the grapes was related to the queen, but in the end it was not resolved, because the queen... is always the queen!
The dislike of the palace, the dislike of these people, all kinds of emotions intertwined, Guan Shengxue felt that there was really no good person in the palace, and in the end she was drunk at the banquet and was escorted back by the servants.
But the queen's festive day was only three days. Since then, the emperor has never stayed overnight.
The emperor always felt that he owed the woman he loved, but he didn't know that the person in his heart had gone further and further away from him. Some things, contaminated with dirt other than emotion, will lose their original appearance.
Especially after the queen gave birth to Bo Yunlie, everything changed.
Relying on her son-in-law, the queen sat firmly in the East Palace, and no longer paid attention to the Guan family and Guanju Palace.
Even when the emperor was on an expedition, he attacked the Guan family.
When the guards broke into the dormitory in the middle of the night, Guan Shengxue was asleep, and was pinned to the ground when he woke up.
"What are you doing?" Guan Shengxue's face was pale, not knowing what happened, "I am a concubine, how dare you..."
Fortunately, the child was taken by the wet nurse, otherwise the child would be shocked. "The empress has a decree. The Guan family had an affair with the guards. The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and it should be dealt with according to the palace rules!" The leader is the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace, and now he is staring at her with eyes wide open. In the eyes, there is a murderous look.
"Why did the empress slander me for something that I have never done?" Guan Shengxue refused to accept it. She had tried her best to keep herself quiet, hiding in this corner to protect the safety of her youngest son. Why...why can't she let her go
Just because she is the mother of the eldest son of the emperor
At this moment, Guan Shengxue's mind also became clear. If she died, her son must also be killed. All the women in this palace are man-eating tigers.
"This was found in the guard's room!" The chief eunuch threw the clothes close to his body and a jade pendant on Guan Shengxue, "Everyone has confirmed that this is yours, empress! It's getting a lot of hype, so what…”
A young eunuch quickly came forward with a plate on which were placed two things.
"A cup of poisoned wine, a pair of white silk. Let's see which one you choose, Madam, and go on your own way, so as not to hurt the people around you!" The chief eunuch held a whisk in his hand, and spoke condescendingly.
"I will never admit to things that I haven't done!" Guan Shengxue struggled, "My father is a grand master, and my elder brother is a servant of the Ministry of Rites. If you dare to touch me, you are not afraid that my father will settle accounts with you." ?"
"Settling the score?" The chief eunuch smiled coldly, "I'm afraid it won't be possible! If something filthy happens in the harem, the royal family will try to cover it up as much as possible. Rao, the old grand master and the servants will pursue it, and it will be bigger than the royal family's reputation." Go? Madam, you are so naive!"
Guan Shengxue's face was as white as paper, "No! No, I won't... I won't let you succeed."
"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you offer your hand to send Concubine Xue on the way?" The chief eunuch shouted sharply, and the little eunuchs around him rushed up, quickly pinched Guan Suxue, and prepared to pour the poisoned wine into her mouth.
There were chaotic footsteps outside, accompanied by a large number of guards pouring in.
"stop!"
Guan Shengxue's face was full of tears, she was already crying.
"Cough cough cough..." Concubine Nan coughed continuously, "Yuchan, go, go...cough cough cough, help Concubine Xue up!"
"Empress Nanfei, what are you going to do?" The chief eunuch thought he had received the Queen's order, and was about to show off his might, but when he was suddenly slapped in the face, he naturally stood up all the thorns all over his body.
Yuchan helped Guan Suxue up, put him aside, and yelled angrily, "Presumptuous! You are still rude to your empress, are you going to offend me?"
The chief eunuch's face tightened, and he saluted immediately.
It's not easy to let people fall into the trap, and turn around and make mistakes yourself.
The queen said before that the reason why the Guanju Palace was not moved was because the emperor loved the Guanju Palace too much. If she was moved, if the news reached the emperor's ears, there would be a catastrophe when the emperor came back.
"Your Majesty, we are following the order of the Empress Empress to clean up the harem." The chief eunuch bowed his waist, "With the hands of the Empress Empress, if you don't believe me, you can check it out!"
"I don't need to inspect it, I already know what happened." Nan Fei was ill, if Mo Yu hadn't run fast, seeing someone break into the palace gate, she would climb over the wall and go straight to Guanju Palace to ask for help. How could the concubine come in such a timely manner? !
The chief eunuch straightened his back, "If that's the case, please ask Nanfei to move here. The blood here is heavy. Turning around will startle you, I'm afraid it's not good!"
"You also know that the blood is heavy?" Nan Fei coughed lightly, "Not long after the emperor's personal conquest, you are making trouble in the harem, it is simply unreasonable!"
"Nanfei Empress, don't mess with your duty!" The chief eunuch straightened his waist.
Ever since Guan's pregnancy and the incident of poisoned grapes happened, Concubine Nan ordered someone to close the gate of Guanju Palace, cutting off contact with everyone in the harem, and only the emperor could enter and leave Guanju Palace.
Not long after the Guan family gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, the emperor hurriedly called the imperial physician into the Guanju Palace. I heard that many people heard the screams coming from the Guanju Palace that night, but not long after, these people disappeared inexplicably. up.
After that, the imperial physician never entered Guanju Palace again, but there was an extra Aunt Han beside Concubine Nan.
"Who messed with his duty?" Nan Fei said with a cold face, "A eunuch dares to boss around here and want to kill the concubine! Open your dog eyes and see clearly, what is this?"
The red gold decree, the gold medal to avoid death.
In an instant, all the eunuchs, and even the guards, knelt on the ground plopping, shouting, long live my emperor.
If I come in person, who would dare not follow
Even though the queen was beaten to death, she never expected that the emperor would give Nanfei such a thing before leaving, let alone that Nanfei would run out to protect the Guan family who had given birth to the emperor's heir.
You know, one less opponent means less competition.
It was originally a win-win situation, but now... only the queen lost.
The Fengyi Palace is brightly lit, and all the parties involved are here.
"What exactly do you mean?" The queen gritted her teeth, "The concubine has an affair, does the concubine Nan want to protect such a bitch?"
In Nanfei's hand, she was still holding the shining token, which pierced the empress's eyes and filled her heart with hatred.
"Fornication?" Nan Fei sneered, "I don't believe that Concubine Xue would have an affair with such a bodyguard. I believe that as a mother, the most important thing is to take good care of the child, not to play with these methods, let alone to humiliate yourself !"
"You!" The queen angrily said, "Nanfei, you are so brave, you dare to say that this palace..."
"The concubine is just talking about the matter, and dare not talk about the queen." Nanfei played with the token in her hand, "A mother is strong, everyone wants to protect their children, but some methods are really not flattering! If the queen wants to put Concubine Xue on Damn, as long as it's justified, such a frame-up is simply...cough coughcough..."
"Your Majesty?" Yuchan hastily handed over the pill.
Seeing Nanfei's pale face, the queen pulled the corners of her lips, and smiled more contemptuously, "You are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river yourself, why bother?"
"I'm afraid the empress won't understand people who share the same illness!" Nanfei swallowed the fishy sweetness in her throat, her beautiful face twisted slightly, as if she was suffering from extreme pain, she leaned slightly and leaned against Yuchan's body, " The concubine has already checked, and this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Xue, and I hope the empress will hold her hand high, don't hurt the innocent, don't let the child have no mother!"
The empress looked fiercely, "If this palace refuses to agree, and must severely punish Concubine Xue, what should you do? Nanfei, you are just a concubine now, holding the emperor's token, do you want to be the master of this palace?"
Concubine Nan made up her mind, with a sneering smile on the corner of her lips, "If this concubine wants your position, the Empress Dowager thinks that the Emperor will agree to it?"
Hearing this, the Queen's mind was shocked, but she couldn't answer for a long time.
The emperor dotes on Concubine Nan, and he is afraid that he will really give...
"When the emperor comes back, the concubine will seek the position of noble concubine! In case the empress always feels that the concubine's words don't count!"
