"Are you doing this for Yao Moxin? Or... do you think of me as your second sister?" Yao Suluan suddenly laid his eyes on Yao Mowan, with expectation in his eyes.
"Second sister, don't forget what you said." Yao Mowan looked back indifferently and reminded lightly. Speechless, Yao Suluan slowly closed her eyes. The past events were still vivid in her mind. What right did she have to look forward to now?
After leaving Huaqing Palace, Yao Mowan was a little bored, so she went around to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Yin Xue came with news that she would arrive at Chu Palace in seven or eight days. Before that, she had to send Yao Suluan out.
"The emperor killed Sun Guiren last night. I just got the news that the emperor will visit my Changxin Palace tonight. What should I do?" A voice came from the corner. Yao Mowan was slightly shocked when he heard the sound.
Lean at the corner of the pavilion and listen carefully.
"This...I don't know what to do about this?" The man's voice sounded very anxious.
"What do you mean by this? Do you want to sit back and ignore it? Then all those sweet words you usually say are fake? Are they all lies to me?" The speaker was a noble man named Qin Xuelian, who had been in the palace for almost ten years.
He rarely gets favored by the emperor, so he cannot bear the loneliness and has a relationship with the imperial guard Jiang De.
"How could I lie to you! In fact, you don't think things are so bad. It's a good thing that the emperor favors you! Maybe after tonight, you will be a noble concubine!" Jiang De comforted.
"Noble concubine? She must be a lonely ghost! In the past two days, every time the emperor favored someone, that person must be beheaded on the second day for offending Long Yan! I heard from the maids that when Sun Guiren died, his tongue
It has been cut off a long time ago! Even if there is an injustice, it is difficult to argue! No! I can't sit still and wait for death! Jiang De, why don't you take me to escape? I have some savings over the years. As long as we can escape, what will happen in the future?
The day will not go wrong! Okay?" Qin Xueliang pulled Jiang De's arm like a beggar and begged.
"This..." Jiang De hesitated.
"Jiang De! If you don't agree, I will go to see the emperor now and report the truth about you and me. If I die, I will not let you live happily in the world!" Qin Xuelian did not hesitate to fight to the death.
She also wanted to force Jiang De to take her away, which shows that she had expected that she would not be able to escape tonight.
"Okay, you go back to the Changxin Palace and wait for my news, I will go and open up the relationship right away!" Jiang De gritted his teeth and said firmly.
"Really? Don't lie to me?" Qin Xueliang tightened her grip on Jiang De's hand, her voice full of hope.
"You and I have been married for several years, don't you still believe me?" Jiang De vowed, holding Qin Xueliang tightly with both hands.
"Then...then you have to hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be in time!" Qin Xueliang nodded, and then she was willing to let go of Jiang De.
In the dark, Yao Mowan felt a little helpless. How many years have they been married? Ha! So what if they have been married for more than ten years! Jiang De's words are obviously an excuse.
Facts proved Yao Mowan's guess. The next morning, Yao Mowan heard news from Changxin Palace that Qin Xuelian was dead. His tongue was cut out and he was killed with a stick.
"Is there an Imperial City Guard named Jiang De who has disappeared?" Yao Mowan asked straight to the point when Qinglong came in. Today, although Qinglong has lost his martial arts skills, his prestige is still there and he is still the commander of the Imperial City Guards.
"How did the empress know?" Qinglong looked at Yao Mowan nervously.
"If I make any moves, will I tell you?" Yao Mowan knew that Qinglong was doubting herself and couldn't help but sneer.
"Qinglong doesn't mean that." Qinglong lowered his head and responded calmly.
"The relationship between Jiang De and Qin Guiren of Changxin Palace is very close. Now that something happened to Qin Guiren, he has a guilty conscience!" Yao Mowan said calmly as she brought a cup of tea.
"Is there such a thing?" Qinglong suddenly looked solemn.
"Your Majesty, do you want to say that you don't know anything about this matter? Even if you tell me, no one may believe it, even those from Xuanwu City and the Harem..." Yao Mowan raised her eyebrows, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"Empress!" Qinglong suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes showing panic that could not be concealed.
"Actually, this kind of thing has happened since ancient times. No wonder, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but the emperor only has one person. Even in the cycle of three hundred and sixty-five days, there are only 365 concubines who will receive holy grace. If we continue
Some charming fairies have gained the favor of the emperor, and the results are even more unpredictable. How can any woman bear such loneliness? Although they enter the palace for glory and wealth, the feeling of being a widow behind the glitz is not pleasant.
, so they took the risk and stayed with the nearest man in the palace. It is only human nature." Yao Mowan said calmly and explained.
"Qinglong... I wonder what your Majesty means?" There was something in Yao Mowan's words, and Qinglong could tell it.
"What I consider to be human nature will be the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan when it comes to the emperor. If you want to keep Xuanwu, you must promise me something." Yao Mowan suppressed the teasing in her eyes and looked at him solemnly.
Qinglong.
"Qinglong will not betray the emperor!" Qinglong knelt on one knee with a solemn expression.
"Ha, you are a loyal master. That's all. Since you don't want to, I won't force you to do so. Just go back and prepare to collect the corpse for Xuanwu!" Yao Mowan said nothing more, and Qinglong's face turned very pale as he raised his hand.
Ugly.
After a long silence, Qinglong finally compromised.
"What does the empress want Qinglong to do?" Qinglong said in a low voice, with a worried look in his eyes.
"I want Jiang De's token, and I hope you can report Jiang De's disappearance to Ye Hongyi later." Yao Mowan said bluntly with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
"Your Majesty, do you want to sneak out of the palace?" Unless you leave the palace, the tokens of the imperial guards are of little use.
"You have asked too many questions! I will give you one day." Yao Mowan stood up with a sweet smile and walked into the inner room elegantly, leaving Qinglong alone kneeling there, motionless.
In the Longqian Palace late at night, Ye Hongyi grabbed the Taoist priest's robe fiercely, his dark eyes bursting with murderous intent. At this moment, Ye Hongyi wished he could tear the Taoist priest in front of him alive! In this world, the most infuriating person
What is unbearable is that when you do something with full hope, what you get is endless disappointment, even despair!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The Taoist priest was frightened to death.
"Who told me in the first place that as long as I took these pills, I could regain my glory! But what happened? Tell me!" Ye Hongyi tightened his grip on the Taoist priest's neck. At this moment, the Taoist priest's face was filled with anger.
He was red and could hardly breathe.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this poor Taoist can practice again... I guarantee that your Majesty... will be satisfied..." It is true that the Taoist priest is at the end of his rope, but in this situation, he can only focus on saving his life.
"Can you really refine the elixir I want?" Ye Hongyi's desire made him gradually let go of his hand, his cold eyes flashing with a bit of chill.
"Yes! The poor Taoist will definitely not disappoint the emperor!" Seeing that there was hope, the Taoist priest immediately knelt on the ground and spoke categorically. Almost at the same time, a drop of water shot towards the Taoist priest's eyebrows at the speed of an aurora, and his life ended silently.
"Who?" It wasn't until he saw blood gushing out from the Taoist priest's forehead that Ye Hongyi suddenly realized and turned around immediately.
His heart was trembling inexplicably. Even the Ninth Five Supreme Being, when he saw that figure in the sky, was forced by the pressure and couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground. Ye Hongyi tried his best to support himself, and just then he couldn't help himself.
To the point of crawling in panic.
"The King of Chu only needs to swallow this unintentional fruit, and he will get his wish." The clear voice is like an oriole emerging from the valley, elegant and beautiful, and like the sound of heaven from the sky, making people feel at ease.
In the air, a pill as red as blood slowly descended until it landed in Ye Junqing's palm.
"Who are you?" Ye Junqing reluctantly spoke, but when he raised his eyes, there was nothing in front of him. It was as if that man had never appeared. The silver-haired man was just floating in the air. Was it a dream?
