The concubine looked at the tangled expression on her brother Shu Wuluan's spot and understood what she was conflicting about. Then she said quietly to the King of Chu: "I am willing to make this deal with the King of Chu on behalf of your majesty. I believe that your highness is not You will break your promise, so you should go back to the capital to get the jade seal."
Upon hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked back at the concubine in the cage. The amber eyes that touched him were so sharp and persevering, no matter how big the storm was, even if he was being attacked by someone. Even in the dangerous situation of "cage", that noble and beautiful face always has a perseverance and unyielding smile.
King Chu raised his eyebrows, with a kind smile on his lips, but his words were so sharp, "Is your Majesty so confident? Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, my king's country will also... his life too!"
The stern tone couldn't help but make Brother Shu Wuluan's face darken with coldness.
But seeing that the concubine was not panicking and had a soft and calm expression on her face, she lightly opened her red lips and said: "This is not a matter of self-confidence. But, since His Highness has given us a choice, of course I must choose the right one." That one is gone, and no one knows what will happen to us. Maybe His Highness will let us go, or maybe this prison will be our final destination. There are no absolutes in the world, and things in the world are unpredictable. Besides, I have always believed that, Whether it is good or evil, blessing or disaster, it all happens in the blink of an eye. Whether it is a desperate cliff or a vast sea and sky, who can tell clearly until the last moment?"
King Chu had a slight sneer on his thin face, "Your Majesty, this is a gamble. Bet on a chance of survival from a cliff, the sea and the sky will be brighter!"
The concubine met his sinister gaze and smiled calmly: "If you don't even have the courage to give it a try, don't even dare to give it a try, and are just waiting for the word 'death', then you deserve this." The end... Because, instead of living in fear and lingering, it would be better to die early and get relief!"
After hearing her words, which were precise and sharp, a look of surprise appeared on King Chu's face, and then he slowly narrowed his cloudy eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the woman in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than Jin Rui. Her calmness, courage, courage, and wisdom were all frustrating.
No wonder this woman has been favored by Jin Rui for many years. It turns out that Jin Rui discovered such a wise man around him early in the morning, and relied on her support to securely sit on the throne for many years.
But such a woman is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger and threat, to the Yin Dynasty, to Jin Rui, and to him...
Thinking about it, King Chu slowly concealed the sudden panic in his eyes, shook his head leisurely, and sighed with a smile, "My queen's insights are indeed unique, and her courage is really admirable!" His thin fingers struck one after another. He leaned on the armrest of the red sandalwood chair and said: "Then, I will need Lady Lao to persuade Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of the throne."
Hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan glared at King Chu fiercely, his eyes like daggers, cold and threatening, wishing to poke holes all over his body.
If looks can kill, then he has died thousands of times.
Let the empress persuade your majesty to issue an edict to abdicate? ! What a shame this thief figured it out!
He was sure that the king would not be controlled by him even if he died. In this way, even if he successfully took the throne without abdicating the imperial edict, he would still be a usurper with an infamy. Therefore, he thought of this trick to let the empress speak out. Promote and achieve his ambition!
This trick is really vicious and underhanded. It doesn't waste his words, but it can also block everyone's mouth. It can also make the empress take the blame for him!
Because, as long as the empress persuades the king to issue the edict of abdication, then the world will definitely focus on the empress. They will not care who becomes the monarch, but will only accuse the empress of confusing the monarch and causing trouble in the country. However, this King of Chu just happened to avoid it. Sharp edge, sitting on the throne.
Thinking of this, Brother Shu Wuluan gritted his teeth secretly, and an indescribable resentment filled his chest.
The concubine's expression did not change at all, she was still so calm, with a slight smile.
Seemingly observing that the woman was uneasy about their current situation, she immediately faced the sharp eyes of King Chu with a sneer, the corners of her red lips slightly hooked, and she said unhurriedly: "Oh, Then we must make sure that His Majesty's dragon body is in good condition, so that I can have the opportunity to help you fulfill your wish. Furthermore, I also believe that Your Highness will not neglect us, don't you think so, Your Highness the King of Chu? "
After saying that, he slowly withdrew his sharp eyes and cast his gaze on the unconscious monarch, his beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
What a shrewd woman!
How dare she negotiate terms with him even though she was behind bars? ! Moreover, the words he spoke were very tactful and watertight. It was obviously a threat, but when it came out of her mouth, it didn't feel like she was being coerced at all, and there was no way to refute it.
In this way, the passive situation was reversed in one fell swoop.
The King of Chu frowned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face. He moved the corners of his mouth and said: "Haha... Your Majesty is right. Well, go and ask a doctor to come and see your Majesty."
One of the guards took the order, clasped his fists, and left.
"In this way, the adults can rest assured, right?" King Chu slowly glanced at the three of them and continued.
The concubine looked at the woman's solemn expression and said softly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen here. Remember, take your gold medal order to find His Majesty's personal attendant Tang Xi, he will tell you where the jade seal is. place."
Brother Shu Wuluan frowned for a moment and responded in a deep voice, "Yes."
Then, he turned around and glanced at Yan Qisha and Xia Xuefenglei, who were silent and had different expressions. They nodded to them and walked out of the hall.
Just as he reached the door, he heard the concubine calling out: "Wait a minute..."
Ge Shu Wuluan's expression tightened, and he hurriedly stopped and looked back, only to see the concubine's amber eyes were so bright and sharp.
She slightly raised her red lips and told her: "I want Luan'er to help me find the pearl that was left outside Guangsheng Palace and bring it to me."
Hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan was slightly startled, thinking for a moment.
There was a hint of doubt on King Chu's face, but he sighed calmly: "It's now like this, but the empress still can't let go of those external things?! Ha..."
The concubine met his probing eyes unnecessarily and continued calmly: "You can put down everything and abandon it, except the pearl, because it is a token of love given to me by Your Majesty! Your Highness will not You won’t even grant this small request, right?”
The King of Chu looked at the concubine with a dark expression for a moment, then turned his gaze to Geshu Wuluan, with a sneer on his face, and said pointedly: "How can it be possible?! Lord Geshu thought he had enough time and packed up the treasury , you can move here... However, I still have to remind you, don't try to play any tricks! Don't forget that the military forces of Chan and Zhangzhou have already been included under my command, and I have a firm grasp on the emperor, The concubine has two trump cards in hand, but you only have three days, and you can’t afford to waste it with me! The deadline has been given to you, and I will be here to wait for the return of Lord Jinyi before noon on the third day. "
He was sure that they had no time to prepare. Even if they could call in reinforcements, they would only be able to deal with him for a while, and it would be difficult to resist him. At that time, as long as the monarch issued an edict to abdicate, those who had supported him in the early years would The courtiers will definitely stand up to support him again. Then, when the country changes hands, it will be as stable as a rock!
Looking at King Chu's lips with a sultry smile, Brother Shu Wuluan secretly suppressed his shocking anger, turned around angrily and opened the palace door, flicked his long sleeves, and stepped out.
At night, dark clouds cover the moon, and everything is dark.
The three of them hurriedly stepped out of Yuming Palace and found their carriage in a quiet corner of the palace. They did not care about treating their wounds and only changed out of their messy and tattered clothes. Then they hurriedly jumped on their horses and walked along the palace road. Drive straight to the palace gate.
The patrolling soldiers seemed to have received instructions from above, and they all avoided the road for the three of them, allowing them to travel unimpeded until they reached the palace building, which was wide open in all directions.
In front of the building, Gao Jue was waiting with his hands behind his hands. When he saw three people galloping towards him, he raised his arms and stopped the three horses. He stepped forward with a scornful smile and said loudly: "Several adults are discussing with the Lord. That’s it, do you have to rush back to the palace to do some work?!”
He was asking questions knowingly and full of ridicule.
However, time was running out and she had no time to argue with the dog.
Brother Shu Wuluan tightened the reins tightly, with a stern look on his face, and shouted coldly, "Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame the horse's hoof for not having eyes, and crush your dog's mouth!"
Gao Jue only twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was not angry at all. "Then, Gao will wish the adults a safe journey and come back to the savior as soon as possible."
Then he stepped aside and raised his arms to say "please".
Brother Shu Wuluan secretly suppressed his anger and took the lead in riding out of the palace, followed closely by Yan Qisha.
Only Xia Xuefenglei stood still for a moment, his eyes swiped at Gao Jue like a bone-scratching steel knife, and he said coldly, "You are very talented!"
Before Gao could wake up, he shook the reins and chased the two people in front of him like the wind.
Outside the city, in the suburbs.
Brother Shu Wuluan, who was walking at the front, suddenly reined in his horse. The horse neighed loudly, paced back and forth twice, and finally stopped. The two people following behind him also slowly stopped at the same time.
She looked back, glanced at the two of them solemnly, and said to Xia Xuefeng Lei: "Lei, you go to the capital immediately. Remember to keep a low profile and not enter the palace. You only need to make a feint. Then, you must rush in. Return to the palace before the deadline."
Xia Xuefenglei was puzzled for a moment, frowned and asked, "Why is this?"
At this time, before the woman could open her mouth to explain, she heard Yan Qisha reply in an unhurried manner: "First, it might leak out the fact that His Majesty was being held hostage, which would lead to chaos in the court, and the chief ministers would take the opportunity to rebel; second, by the way, Lure away the surveillance spies of King Chu's secret faction."
That was his tone as calm as the wind, but he also revealed the mystery and interests in one word.
Ge Shu Wuluan couldn't help but stare into his gaze, and saw the sharp and deep lake blue ice eyes, as if all her thoughts could not be hidden from his sharp eyes.
