She wanted to slap this face eight hundred years ago. If it weren't for her, how could the wise king lose his heart as an emperor
"If you didn't do it, who could it be? Tell me, who ordered you to do it?"
Compared with the pain of that slap, this sentence "who ordered it" frightened her even more, and also confirmed her thoughts again.
Sure enough, he came for Tinglin.
Qingguan raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously, "My dear concubine, I told you, I didn't do it."
"Humph, you won't admit it when you are about to die. Okay, I'll beat you into admitting it. Someone..."
"Empress!"
Zhang Yunlong took a step forward and said with great sadness: "Now is not the time to care. The emperor has died. We need to quickly inform the world and summon the prince to return to the capital."
Concubine Yin sneered in her heart, but her face pretended to be filled with grief, "Commander Zhang, Your Majesty, he... died in an unknown manner!"
Zhang Yunlong felt pain in his heart and almost fainted. He just gritted his teeth and said: "Empress, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince must return to the capital immediately and inherit the throne."
Concubine Yin looked back and met Zhang Yunlong's gaze. In the dim light and sparse shadows, there was hidden desire.
She wailed and said: "The emperor's death is unclear. Before the time comes to inform the world, you summon the prince and invite King Su into the palace to take charge of the overall situation. I am heartbroken and unable to continue. "
"Yes, concubine!"
Zhang Yunlong felt relieved when he saw that the imperial concubine took a step back and agreed to summon the prince. He also thought that among the royal family members, Prince Lao Su was the oldest, so he immediately agreed.
Concubine Yin shed tears and her voice was like weeping and complaining, "Eunuch Li, could you please help the emperor cleanse himself and change his clothes?"
Eunuch Li made a buzzing sound from his mouth, and the sound was like a cold wind blowing into the hole. In the vast hall, it chilled the hearts of those who heard it.
Qingguan raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes as deep as an infinite black hole, faintly gleaming with sword light, cold and sharp, as if she wanted to see through him.
The last person the emperor saw in front of him was also the loyal servant he trusted and relied on the most.
Could it be him
There was the sound of wind and rain outside the window, and along with the wind and rain came the sound of the imperial concubine crying.
"Come here, take this bitch to the Yeting Palace and keep him under guard. No one is allowed to come near without my order. No one inside or outside the palace should talk too much. If he dares to reveal a word, he will be killed without mercy."
The sound gradually faded, and Qingwan was pushed into the rain. Everything behind her could no longer be heard, and everything returned to the calmness of the deep sea.
Prince Su's Mansion.
The sound of the piano was lingering, and the song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" was playing.
Zhao Jingwei pursed her lips tightly and looked anxiously at the old King Su who played the piano for the first time. However, he couldn't get angry, so he just silently uttered one sentence from his mouth: You can really hold your breath.
At this moment, the guard pushed open the door and entered, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
King Lao Su raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
"Back to my lord, the emperor has collapsed."
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of hot tea spurted out. Zhao Jingwei didn't bother to wipe it off and stood up straight, "Is it done?"
The guard said respectfully: "Go back to your lord, the matter is half done."
Zhao Jingwei fell into a chair and couldn't say a word for a long time.
King Lao Su glanced at him and smiled proudly, "It's time for the palace's decree to come. It's up to me to step forward for the next thing. Come and change my clothes."
"Uncle Wang!"
The Xian Wang struggled to get up, and Liu Shen Wu Zhu said: "What should I do now?"
King Lao Su stared at him silently, "There is only one thing you have to do now."
"What?"
"Assemble all the troops and secret guards of your Prince Xian's Mansion and intercept and kill the prince on the way. Remember, only if he dies can you take that position righteously."
King Lao Su frowned, his eyes sharp, "If not... everything will be in vain."
"Then...then...where's that Gu Qingwan?" Zhao Jingwei couldn't hide her excitement and stuttered a bit when she spoke.
There is still one step left, just one step away, and his hand will be able to touch the sky. Hahaha, that woman can't escape, she definitely can't escape.
King Su obviously did not expect that he suddenly asked such a question, and his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, "Sooner or later, it will be yours. Go quickly, none of Zhang Yunlong's men are vegetarians. If it is late, it will be late." "
"Yes, I'll go right away." Zhao Jingwei left in high spirits.
King Lao Su looked at his back and smiled coldly, his smile was indescribably ghostly and cold.
"Somebody come!"
From the darkness, a man in black walked out and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty!"
"Notify everyone that the show is about to begin. On Liu Zhaoyu's end..." King Lao Su made a gesture.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" The man raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "How about the northwest side?"
Old King Su said one word at a time: "Su Gong Yan, recommend the Ming Dynasty to the Lord, regain power, and come to the city with troops."
The man looked excited and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The inner residence of Qingfu.
Shi Lei looked at the room full of people absentmindedly, with cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Master Lei, what happened?" Yueniang looked at him uneasily.
A moment ago, Shi Lei rushed into the courtyard like crazy and gathered everyone together, fearing that he had something to say.
Shi Lei took a deep breath and took out a dagger and a piece of paper from his pocket. Everyone was shocked and didn't know what he was going to do.
"Just now, a dagger was shot into my bed with a piece of paper on it."
Everyone looked at each other, staring at the paper in Shi Lei's hand.
Shi Songyin couldn't help but said: "Brother, what happened in the middle of the night? Are you going to say something? I'm so worried."
Shi Lei seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and said in a low voice: "The emperor collapsed. Qingguan was suspected of murdering the emperor and was detained by the imperial guards."
"ah!"
After the exclamations, there was a dead silence in the room, and the air seemed to be solid. No one believed that all this was true.
Shi Songyin burst into tears before saying anything, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Shi Lei gritted his teeth, "Master Qi is not here, and we can't reach the palace. I need to go to the Jiang Mansion immediately. This matter is too big."
Chen Ping came back to his senses and immediately said: "Master Lei, I will immediately send someone to inform the seventh master. Only when the seventh master comes back can we find a solution. By the way, we have to inform the prince."
"Go quickly!" Shi Lei made a quick decision.
Cao Ziang stood up suddenly, "I'm going to ask someone to ask if I can find out any news about the palace."
Shi Lei hurriedly stuffed the paper into his arms, looked around and said, "Songyin, Yueniang, you wait for the news at home, I'll go to Jiang's house."
The Jiang family was in chaos at this moment.
For some reason, the ancestor couldn't breathe, so he fell straight down. The maid and mother-in-law called for others, pinched them, and finally woke them up.
At this moment, the three masters and three ladies of the Jiang family had received the news and hurried over.
The ancestor opened his eyes, his eyes were more tired than ever before, "The three masters will stay, and the rest will go back to their homes. Go and find Lao Qi."
Everyone saw her expression, which seemed angry and sad, so they didn't dare to say anything and left in silence.
The room suddenly became deserted, and the ancestor slowly closed his eyes, tears gradually falling from his eyes.
When the three gentlemen saw this, they were so shocked that they all fell to their knees.
"Mom, what happened?"
The ancestor opened his eyes, looked at the boss, and said hoarsely: "Son... the Jiang family is in danger!" "
"Mother, what on earth are you talking about?"
The ancestor smiled bitterly and moved his lips, but no sound came out, but his heart sank a little bit.
"Reporting to the ancestor, the Seventh Master is not here and we can't find him. Master Shi Lei of the Shi family wants to see you and said he has something important to discuss." The voice of the steward sounded outside.
The ancestor struggled to get up, looked at the dark night outside, and said to himself: "It's too late, it's too late, this time... there is nothing the ancestor can do."
When the three masters of the Jiang family heard this, they were like thunder.
Yeting Palace.
Taicang is in the north, Neishi Province is in the southwest, and prisoners are detained in the east.
Qingwan is an important criminal in the court and is locked up in a prison alone.
The prison woman swung her whip so loudly that she looked at her with a sinister look on her face, and the greed in her eyes was clear.
Qingguan was silent for a moment, looked around and saw that there was no hairpin to bribe, so he took out a large-denomination silver note from his arms and stuffed it into it.
From the day she entered the palace, Yue Niang had stuffed this banknote in her clothes, never thinking that it would be useful one day.
Lao Po took it and saw that it was a denomination of Qianliang, with a slight smile on her face.
"Female Doctor Gu is a happy person, but she has a lot of ugly words ahead of her. Once you enter this court, your life and death will only depend on your fate."
After that, he closed the cell door, locked it several times, and then walked away with his fat waist.
In the dark cell, there was a thin layer of straw on the ground, and a few mice huddled in the corner, eyeing the woman who suddenly broke in.
Qingwan sighed for a long time, lifted up his white shirt and sat on the floor, slowly raising his hand.
The dim light happened to shine on her hands, and the blood in her nails had solidified. She stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the taste of the blood bit by bit.
The coagulated blood has a slightly fishy smell, but it doesn't have any poisonous meaning.
It shouldn't be!
Qingguan's mind moved, and she reached behind her head with her bare hands, pulled out the plum blossom silver hairpin on her head, and pressed the protrusion of the stamen. A tiny needle extended from the sharpest point at the bottom.
She took out the needle and scraped some blood stains. The silver needle did not change color. Qingguan's expression completely darkened.
The emperor did not die of poisoning, and there were no marks on his neck. How did he die? Qingguan closed her eyes, forced herself to calm down, and began to recall every detail of the past few days. She had to find the key to the problem through the complicated appearance.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she thought of a person who could prove his innocence-Liu Zhaoyu.
Since these people were targeting the prince, they would definitely convict her of murdering the emperor and would fight to the death. So... how could she be cleared of her charges
Liu Zhaoyu is in danger! There has never been a moment in which Qingguan was as panicked as he was now. Qingguan suddenly felt that he was trapped in a lonely city, surrounded by poisonous snakes.
