Thinking of this, King Qi no longer insisted. He said to the prince behind him with a cold face, "Go back to the palace."
That night, King Qi stayed alone in his palace.
The red candles in the palace were like tears, bit by bit. Because Qi thought a lot, until the night wind outside the window, there was a burst of music.
"Yue'er, is the sound of Yue'er's piano."
King Qi could tell that this was the song he was most familiar with, and it was Yue Nu's favorite song to play.
Why didn't she sleep at such a late hour? Why was the sound of the piano so close, as if it was in his palace? Could it be that Yue Nu knew that she was wrong and didn't dare to come to see him?
King Qi stood up and walked slowly to the sound of the piano.
We walked all the way to the east of his palace courtyard, where there was a bamboo forest. In the green, a shadow in white was playing the piano with his head down...
"Yue'er."
The woman heard the cry and turned around slowly.
King Qi's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. This woman playing the piano in the middle of the night was not a Yue slave, but his Lady Yuyuan. How could his Lady Yuyuan play the piano here? How could she play the moon ball?
The music played by Yue Nu? Why is she wearing the same clothes as Yue Nu?
As if he didn't see the surprise on King Qi's face, Tang Jiang slowly bowed down.
"Your Majesty, I would like to send you my regards."
What are you doing, greetings? What greetings are you doing in the middle of the night? King Qi's face returned to a serious look.
He didn't say anything, and slowly walked to the stone table and sat down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"What are you guilty of?"
"My concubine disturbed the king by playing the piano in the middle of the night, and I will die."
King Qi glanced at Tang Jiang expressionlessly. He didn't want to ask why Tang Jiang was dressed like this and playing such music at such a time. He didn't want to ask anything, he just wanted to sit and watch in this dark night.
Here, it’s good to have someone by your side.
But Tang Jiang didn't get up. She kept kneeling, and the hem of her white dress was covered with mud.
"Get up."
"I dare not get up. I have something to report to the king."
"If you still have something else to do, please tell me."
"I dare not say anything. Please forgive me for the death penalty."
"you."
"Kings."
"Okay, get up, I forgive you."
Tang Jiang saw that Wang Qi had forgiven her, but she did not get up. She was still kneeling on the ground. However, she raised her head. Her face had a blue-white color under the moonlit night, but her eyes kept staring.
He looked into King Qi's eyes. It was a firm look.
Even King Qi, who had experienced many battles, felt a chill in his heart. He felt that he had never understood the concubine he once loved most in front of him.
But what Tang Jiang said next made King Qi even more chilled.
"Your Majesty, you must know that I designed the sound of the piano tonight. Yes. I admit that I played "The Moon Shines on the Dark God" on purpose. I deliberately lured you here."
King Qi's face turned dark when he heard this.
Tang Jiang's face turned even paler, and she was lying if she said she wasn't afraid. No one knew the moodiness of the person in front of her better than she did. However, she also knew that she was taking a dangerous move. But she had to do it, or else she would die if she didn't succeed.
Cheng Ren. She believed that the path she had chosen was the right one. Silo's death was the first step in this move. Wasn't it also a success?
"Your Majesty, I know you must be angry. Angry that I am too bold. I know this is a capital offense. I am also afraid of death. But, Your Majesty, I have to say this. If I don't say it again, not only will I be punished in the future.
If I want to die, even you, the king, cannot escape. Your king, over the years we have been together, you know how much I love you. I know that you only love that girl Penghao in your life. You will never love anyone again.
Fall in love."
Tang Jiang knew that her mention of Penghao at this time would be helpful to her tonight. Sure enough, when King Qi heard the name Penghao, his face lost a trace of confusion. How could Tangjiang, who is as smart as he is, not know this?
This is your chance.
"Your Majesty, did you really not find out?"
"What?"
"In the palace, there are new changes in our palace."
"Variety?"
"Yes, especially Silo's tragic death. Your Majesty, didn't you notice it?"
"What do you want to say?"
"It's her, Your Majesty, it's her."
"court death."
King Qi snorted angrily and kicked Tang Jiangchuan to the ground.
Tang Jiang's messy hair covered her pale face. She didn't get up. She just looked at King Qi coldly and said in a very calm voice,
"I'm afraid of death, but I can't die now. Your Majesty, please let me die after listening to my words."
King Qi looked at Tang Jiang with a livid face. She was another woman who was not afraid of death. It was really strange these days. There were some women who were not afraid of death in his palace. First, there was the always timid Siluo, and then there was this always meek and polite woman.
Tangjiang. What's going on?
Now he is no longer the violent King Qi he was back then. His heart has unknowingly melted in Yue Nu's tenderness. Otherwise, how could he let Siluo and Tang Jiang be like this in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Nishinomiya is not the real princess of Inu Rong."
"What did you say?"
King Qi was shocked and even more surprised to hear Silo's death.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know that if it is not true, I will be punished by death. However, Your Majesty, I still have to tell the truth. Mrs. Nishimiya is really not the princess of Inu Rong. Inu Rong does not have a princess at all. This princess is fake.
"
"Do you know that if I strike down with my sword, your head will be gone?"
King Qi took a step forward, his sword came out like the wind, and he placed it on Tang Jiang's delicate neck.
"I know, but I also know that the king will not kill me."
"You think so."
"yes."
Tang Jiang's face turned even paler. If she hadn't held her hand tightly, she would have almost screamed. However, she also knew that this was the time to decide her fate. She bet that King Qi would not be there at this time.
Kill her. If she doesn't use the sword to kill her, it means that he also has doubts about the Moon Slave Princess. Then her chance will come. No one can stop her victory.
King Qi moved his hand, and the sword light flashed instantly. Tang Jiang closed his eyes, did I fail like this? Is everything I did before over?
Just when Tang Jiang was disheartened, she felt the sword gently blowing from her neck with a gust of night wind. There was a sharp pain and blood snaked down her neck. It was
Yes, it's not spray, it's slippery. She's not dead, she's really not dead. King Qi's sword only left a shallow scar on her neck, and a line of blood slid down it.
She won, she made the bet with her life, and she became the winner.
King Qi held the bloody sword. He didn't know what he was doing for a moment. Why didn't he kill Tang Jiang? Did he really not believe Yue Nu deep in his heart?
