Under the dim light, people's shadows are stretched out, and countless black shadows are intertwined on the ground in a chaotic manner.
Tuo Jinglie stood in the center, holding a long sword, lonely and helpless. The other people held long swords and surrounded him tightly, staring at him eagerly.
A man wearing a mask waved his hand heavily, and people rushed toward Tuo Jinglie with big swords. Tuo Jinglie fought with his long sword, blocking people and injuring others. For a time, the white sword blade was covered with blood,
The blood drops on the ground were stepped on by human footprints, and the bloody footprints overlapped around Tuo Jinglie.
Tuo Jinglie flew up and down in the crowd with a pale face. Although many people fell down, the man holding the big knife seemed to be unable to eliminate him. His steps became slower and slower, and a big knife cut his chest.
"Jian Xiao..." Tuo Jinglie's pursed lips uttered two simple syllables, and then countless large knives slashed at Tuo Jinglie...
Tuo Jinglie fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open. The original color of his clothes had been replaced by blood. His slightly dark skin, red blood and white bones occasionally appeared on his body. "Jian Xiao..." He still shouted
Saying her name seemed to be the only motivation for him to persevere
A masked man in black came over and squatted beside him. Tuo Jinglie moved his right hand, and a dart flew out. The masked man pinched his fingers, and a dart stopped by his ear.
The masked man suddenly raised his sword and stabbed Tuo Jinglie in the chest...
"No!" Jian Xiao sat up suddenly. Her forehead and palms were covered with sweat. She was panting heavily and her face was already covered with tears.
Yueyue hurriedly ran out when she heard the noise, "Mother...what's wrong with you? Are you trapped by a nightmare?"
Jian Xiao cried "Wow", beat the bed and shouted, "Tutuo, who asked you to do this, who asked you..."
Seeing Jian Xiao like this, Yueyue was startled, "Did you dream about the prince?"
Jian Xiao cried harder and harder, until she couldn't even breathe. Yueyue handed Jian Xiao a glass of water, "Mother, the prince is gone, he is gone."
"I saw many people stabbing him with knives. He was already lying in a pool of blood. They still kept shouting my name..." Jian Xiao said and burst into tears later.
Yueyue hugged her shoulders and sobbed a little, "Mother, you can't do this. The prince will be sad when he finds out. You are still pregnant. This will hurt the child."
Jian Xiao struggled to get out of bed, washed her face, lit two incense sticks, and took her Yao Qin to the yard, "Mother, it's still cold..." Yueyue tried to dissuade her.
Jian Xiao shook her head. She wanted to play a song for Tuo Jinglie. He was willing to entrust the dream to her. Even if he was still by her side, he would hear it.
Jian Xiao flicked her fingers, and the sound of the piano poured down like moonlight. This was the first time she played a piece of music for Tuo Jinglie. She didn't even know the name of it, but she just thought it sounded good, so she played it. Tuo Tuo, I will take revenge.
, I will take revenge!
Eucommia ulmoides gave Jian Xiao some soothing medicine and whispered, "Your Majesty's health is not as good as before. Please don't be willful. The safety of the young master is your top priority."
"I dreamed about Tuo Tuo," Jian Xiao said absentmindedly, "He died so miserably..." Since that night, Jian Xiao would see Tuo Jinglie lying in a pool of blood calling her name whenever she closed her eyes.
I don’t want to eat or drink, I can’t sleep
"Mother, you can't be like this. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it, and it will also hurt your fetus," Eucommia said worriedly, "Don't let Mr. Tuo have no children!"
Jian Xiao nodded, "I know, I know..."
"Yueyue, do you want to talk to the empress about other things to distract her? She and Mr. Tuo have a deep love, and this is the only way to resolve it." Eucommia walked out of Xiaoxiang Tower and said to Yueyue who was sending her out.
Yueyue nodded, "I will pay attention to it in the future."
Watching Eucommia ulmoides leave, Yueyue sighed heavily. Jian Xiao's heart disease was too serious. How could she solve it by herself? Just as she was about to go back, she saw a slightly familiar figure in the imperial garden. This person had followed her secretly to protect her.
own people
"Hey! You..." Yueyue wanted to call his name, but remembered that Jian Xiao once said that his name was Guo Ziqing, "General Guo!"
The man turned around and said, "Young lady admitted that I am not General Guo. I am Wei Zhu, who is now sent to protect the safety of the palace."
"Hello, General Wei," Yueyue said with a bow, "Thank you for escorting me back last time. Please take good care of my mother-in-law in the future."
Wei Zhu nodded, "This is what you should do. A girl should be more careful when walking alone at night." He looked at Xiaoxiang Tower, "Are you from this palace?"
"Yes! My mother-in-law, Concubine Jian, I am her girl Yueyue."
"Oh, I have seen the imperial concubine in the royal study room," Wei Zhu said. "The one who left just now was the imperial doctor? Is the imperial concubine ill?"
Yueyue shook her head, "It's okay, I just caught a cold at night, a little bit of wind chill. Thank you General for your concern..." Yueyue wanted to say something else, but suddenly heard Jian Xiao calling her name, Yueyue said to her sheepishly
Wei Zhu smiled and said, "Ah, my mother-in-law called me General. I'll leave now." After saying that, he ran away like the wind.
Wei Zhu looked at Yueyue's back and couldn't help but frowned.
"Who were you talking to just now?" Jian Xiao asked, "It doesn't sound like Eucommia ulmoides."
"The newly sent general, Wei Zhu," Yueyue said, "he said he has met the empress."
Jian Xiao nodded, "His martial arts skills are amazing. If he can stay here, we will be at peace." Jian Xiao thought of the man with the same eyes as Tuo Jinglie, and felt sad again. She sighed and said softly,
"Is there any movement in the harem recently? Especially Concubine Li Shu."
Yueyue thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that she is pregnant? But it's not like it at all. I saw her in the Royal Garden two days ago. She went to see Yun Jieyu with other ladies."
"Wanyun? What's wrong with her?" Jian Xiao frowned
"It's okay, the empress is fine. She just said that she is pregnant and can't go out often, so the empress, Shu Fei, took everyone to see her."
It seems that Concubine Li Shu has her sights set on Wanyun, but she doesn’t know how long it will take before she takes action. But Wanyun is pregnant, will she do this again? Jian Xiao soon felt that her thoughts were really simple, and she couldn’t bear to bear the child without trapping the wolf.
, the child cannot be saved. If there is one less powerful enemy, it will be worthwhile.
Jian Xiao thought for a while and said to Yueyue, "We must be careful these two days. We must often go to Tonghuan Pavilion to be with Wan Yun, especially you. When I am not around, you must also keep an eye on me."
"Empress, what's the matter?" Yueyue asked hurriedly when she saw Jian Xiao was so nervous.
"It's best if nothing happens. I'm afraid something will happen," Jian Xiao said
Yueyue doesn't know what Jian Xiao is talking about, but she will definitely copy it.
Jian Xiao was lying on the bed, Wan Yun didn't go out, so she had to do it in Tonghuan Pavilion. She quietly thought about the layout of Tonghuan Pavilion, a hall, two side rooms, no water or insurance in front of the door.
, what method will Concubine Li Shu choose? This woman’s heart is like a needle under the sea, and she really doesn’t understand.
