"So, are you going to use the same method to take it away now?" Hongli sneered solemnly: "Unfortunately, compared with your ancestors, you are simply vulnerable. Not only did you not take away the country, you also became a prisoner."
Polonido said with hatred: "If you hadn't used deceit, how could we have been captured by you?!"
Hongli raised his eyebrows and said: "A soldier never tires of deceit. Have you and Zhuo Lian never heard of these four words? Or is it only allowed to be used by you and not by me?"
Qiluo walked up to Hongli numbly, bit her lip hard and said: "So, it is a lie that the imperial concubine was demoted, and it is also a lie that the prince and Fu Heng were dismissed?"
Hongli nodded and said: "Yes, if this were not the case, how could I have lured you into taking the bait, and how could I have annihilated those ambitious people like you at the minimum cost?"
On that day, he asked Qiluo on the half piece of paper filled with replies. Although Qiluo's answers were correct and her words were sincere, he still had doubts in his heart and felt that it was difficult to get rid of the relationship between the matter and the Huibu, so he immediately
I went to the Yanxi Palace and had a secret talk with Xianyue. Xianyue suggested a trick to get Hongli to favor Qiluo in every possible way, and then secretly monitor her to see if there was anything wrong with her.
After several days of surveillance, the spies discovered their secret communication channel and intercepted the letters, proving that Qiluo and Huibu did not sincerely submit, but wanted to cooperate internally and externally to subvert the Qing Dynasty.
Then, everything went according to plan, but that day, Xianyue came to the Yangxin Hall and found Qiluo secretly reading the memorial. It was an accident, but it also gave Hongli and Xianyue the opportunity to play a trick to deceive Qiluo's trust.
This convinced Qiluo that Hongli was deceived by her and was too stubborn to listen to the advice of others.
As for Fu Heng and Hong Zhou, as soon as A Ying stepped out of the palace, spies were watching secretly, writing down the people she had contacted, and after A Ying left, they found those people one by one and interrogated them carefully.
Then he reported it to Hongli, who immediately decided to put on another show with Hongzhou and the others. Not only would it make Qiluo think that he had betrayed his family, but it would also take the opportunity to keep the two of them away from the court and secretly lead an expedition back to the army!
Things went very smoothly. After he denounced Fu Heng and the others, Qiluo became more and more unscrupulous in what he wrote in the letter, and even believed that the Qing Dynasty would definitely belong to their tribe.
However, Qiluo didn't know that when she received one victory after another, the returning army led by the two Boronidos was retreating steadily under the pressure of Hong Zhou and others, and finally collapsed.
Naturally, it is impossible for such a big event to go unnoticed. In fact, everyone in the court was discussing the matter. However, Hongli tried his best to block the news about the harem, so that no rumors came in. As for A Ying and the others, once
When they left the harem, they were followed by spies. As soon as they noticed something was wrong, someone immediately stepped in to stir things up. Only then did Qiluo remain in the dark.
After listening to what Hongli said, Qiluo could hardly believe her ears. It turned out that she had been played by Hongli like a fool all along.
"The emperor has such deep thoughts!" Qiluo gritted her teeth and spat out these seven words, with sad hatred in her eyes. She knew in her heart that since Hongli already knew everything about them and arrested the two of them,
Then what awaits them is a dead end!
Hongli raised his hand to lift her smooth chin, and said with a chuckle: "If we didn't have these thoughts, how could we have such fun with Concubine Rong, don't you think so, Concubine Rong?"
Huo Jizhan said coldly: "Qianlong, you don't have to be so proud. Even if I can't take your kingdom today, sooner or later someone will take it away from you. You can't hold on to this land in the Central Plains!"
"Really?" Hongli sneered, retracted his hand and said, "Then I'll wait and see, but... that day probably won't happen." Before Huo Jizhan could say anything else, Hongli already said: "Will
These two people were taken out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded, and their bodies were exposed for three days. I want everyone to know the consequences of starting a war!"
After seeing the two Boronidos being pulled down, Qiluo trembled all over. She knew that she must be the next one, and Hongli... wouldn't let her go, but she... she didn't want to die!
"Concubine Rong!" Hongli's voice was like a desperate call from hell, which made Qiluo paralyzed on the ground. She didn't even have the strength to stand up. Before Hongli could say anything, she had already grabbed the corner of Hongli's robe and begged.
He said: "Your Majesty, I have realized my mistake. From now on...I will definitely not have second thoughts anymore and will serve you well. I beg you to spare my life. I don't want to die!"
"Spare you?" Hongli squatted down with a faint smile on his face, "Give me a reason why I should spare you?"
"Because...because..." Qiluo tried hard to turn her thoughts. After a long time, her eyes lit up and she said anxiously: "The emperor just said that there will never be a more outstanding dance than my concubine, and...also...
Haven't you always said you like the fragrance of my concubine? Are these also fake?"
"These are not false." Qiluo had just felt reassured when Hongli's words came again, "But... what I hate most in my life is to be betrayed, and I have always felt that those who have betrayed once will be betrayed sooner or later.
There was a second betrayal, you said...how dare I keep you by my side."
Qiluo said quickly: "No, I can swear that I will never betray the emperor again. Besides, the headquarters has been destroyed and my two uncles are dead. What reason do I have for betraying the emperor? Do you believe me, do you believe me?"
I!"
"I also want to, but unfortunately... I can't do it!" With the last few words, Hongli stood up and said with a cold expression: "Concubine Ci Rong and her maid committed suicide! Before sunset, if they are still alive, Xiao Wu
, you raise your head and come to see me!"
Xiaowu looked stern and said quickly: "I obey the order!" After saying that, he wanted to catch Qiluo, but the latter hugged Hongli's legs tightly and refused to let go, saying with tears in his eyes:
"It is said that a couple's kindness lasts for a night, and my concubine has been with me for nearly a year. Does the Emperor really not appreciate any kindness at all?"
"Husband and wife?" Hongli sneered: "When did I say you were my wife? You will never be my wife in this life, the next life, or even the next life!"
"Even if they are not husband and wife, at least they have slept together and begged the emperor for mercy. Besides... I had no choice but to do that. It was Boronido and the others who forced me!" Qiluo doesn't care about anything now, she just wants to save her life.
.
Hongli stared at her and said coldly: "Concubine Rong, if I were the one who became a prisoner today, would you still say these words?"
Qiluo was at a loss for words for a moment, but before she could think about it, Hongli said again: "No, you will only laugh at me for being stupid and self-willed, and falling into your trap without knowing it; after you are done teasing me, you will not know it at all.
merciless
Kill me and sleep in the same bed... Hehe, you don't care at all!" After a moment of pause, he said again: "Concubine Rong, I have given you opportunities more than once, but if you insist on choosing this path, I will not
