After Xia Huanyu let out a heart-wrenching cry, he was about to throw himself towards the edge of the cliff, but Su Ruji hugged him. Xia Huanyu frowned and slapped Su Ruji away with a palm. I'm afraid this palm will be used.
With great success, Su Ruji was lifted up by the force of her palm, and then fell down suddenly. She fell heavily to the ground, her face looked miserable, and she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Yun Shang turned around and glanced at Qianzui, who quickly jumped up and stood in front of Xia Huanyu.
Yun Shang was afraid that Xia Huanyu would really jump down, so she quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, Queen Hua is fine. The one who was pushed down just now is not Queen Hua at all."
There were sounds of swords clashing all around, and there was a panic, but Yun Shang's voice still fell on Xia Huanyu's ears, like thunder.
For a moment, not only Xia Huanyu, but also Su Ruji, who had been seriously injured just now, couldn't help but turn around, with a look of astonishment on her face. Neither the secret guard in Yun Shang's hands nor the secret guard brought by Xia Huanyu.
To ordinary people, within a short time, most of the killers on the top of the mountain were already dead.
Xia Huanyu turned around and looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes, "What did you say? That person just now was not Ling'er."
Yun Shang nodded, glanced at Su Ruji and Su Qi, and then said calmly: "This is a trap I set up almost half a month ago, just to catch the Su family and their daughter together."
Su Ruji's face was full of disbelief and she sneered: "How is that possible? You have been under our surveillance. It is impossible to replace Hua Ling."
Yun Shang raised her lips and smiled, "Maybe I have been under your surveillance since I entered Lingxi City, but I replaced Queen Hua before that."
The matter had to start when Yun Shang was still in Huaiyin. After Empress Hua was poisoned by Zhao Yingjie, Yun Shang became a little worried. No matter how she defended herself, someone might take advantage of her. If someone wanted to harm her,
Mrs. Zhao, there is definitely no way she can completely protect Mrs. Zhao.
At that time, Ning Qian proposed to use her best method to set up a game.
What Ning Qian is best at is naturally not seduction, nor chess, calligraphy and painting, but disguise. Ning Qian's disguise skills are unrivaled except by her master.
After that, Ning Qian disguised herself as Mrs. Zhao. In order to better perform this drama, Yun Shang led a group of people into Lingxi because she was afraid that the secret guards were not sufficiently well prepared.
City, entered the city guard's mansion.
Therefore, in fact, Queen Nahua who followed Yun Shang after entering Lingxi City was already disguised as Ning Qian.
and……
Yun Shang smiled slightly, raised her hand, blew a long whistle, and a bright red figure jumped up from the edge of the cliff and landed steadily on the top of the mountain, holding a person in her arms.
The appearance of the person in her arms was clearly that of Empress Hua.
When the man stood firm, he raised his eyes and raised his lips lightly, raised his hand to test for a while, and then peeled off a thin layer of skin from his face. As soon as he put his hand down, his original stunning beauty was revealed.
Appearance.
Su Ruji looked at Ning Qian's face and was stunned for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said: "Concubine Xiang. It turns out that Concubine Xiang is yours. Concubine Rui, you are really good at it..." Xu was because of being
Yun Shang was so angry that the blood surged in her heart, and Su Ruji coughed violently, which was heartbreaking.
Yun Shang looked at Su Ruji with faint eyes, then glanced at Su Qi who looked a little pale, then smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment."
After a while, Su Ruji stopped coughing and looked a little dazed. After a while, she asked again: "Did you already know that Mrs. Zhang had a problem?"
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Actually, it's not too early. After all, it was after you sent someone to assassinate us for the first time in the prefect's mansion."
That day, Yun Shang was a little puzzled. The assassins should have just arrived in Lingxi and were familiar with the terrain in the prefect's mansion. Why did they come directly to them as if they knew where Yun Shang and the others lived.
Later, after Yun Shang thought for a long time, she vaguely came up with some clues. Because of the wind, Mrs. Zhang came over after dark that day to replace the coarse cloth lampshade of the lady's picture with a glass lampshade.
Logically speaking, there is no need for Mrs. Zhang to come personally to do this, any maid can do it.
Yun Shang guessed that the assassin had come to find Mrs. Zhang and asked her to lead the assassin to find the way. The assassin only had to pretend to be the maid beside Mrs. Zhang and he would not be discovered.
Yun Shang had doubts in her heart, so she quickly asked someone to check on Mrs. Zhang.
After an investigation by the secret guard, Yun Shang found out that something had happened to the child of Mrs. Zhang and her ex-husband. He heard that the child was following Mrs. Zhang's ex-husband, who was a violent man and often beat and scolded the child, but the child was actually well-behaved.
, often herding cattle around, but in the past few days, the neighbors had never seen the child. Yun Shang understood, the child was only afraid of being caught and used to threaten Mrs. Zhang.
Because of this, Yun Shang ordered people to pay more attention to Mrs. Zhang, and also ordered people to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang's child.
Yesterday, when Mrs. Zhang proposed to go out for some fun during the Qiqiao Festival, Yun Shang became defensive. Mrs. Zhang should know the identity of Mrs. Zhao, and also knew that they were assassinated many times in the mansion some time ago.
.Under such circumstances, it is really strange to suddenly propose leaving the house.
Yun Shang and Ning Qian's eyes met, and they unanimously decided to follow the plan.
Just because Mrs. Zhang would do this, she must have been instructed by Su Ruji, and maybe Su Ruji would take action.
Facts have proved that Yun Shang's conjecture was correct. Everything was under her control, except that Xia Huanyu's sudden appearance almost ruined her arrangement, forcing her to tell the truth in advance.
Yun Shang recalled Xia Huanyu's expression when he saw Ning Qian pretending to be Queen Hua falling off the cliff, and couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't shouted out like that, Xia Huanyu might have jumped off.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and glanced at Xia Huanyu, but saw that his face was also a little stunned, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Su Ruji's face turned pale, she raised her head and laughed. She looked a little embarrassed because of Xia Huanyu's palm just now. Almost all the killers she brought around had been eliminated by Yun Shang and Xia Huanyu's secret guards.
The person who was very arrogant just now became like this in the blink of an eye.
"Okay." Su Ruji said with a cold smile, "What a plan, what a plan. Princess Rui, I still underestimated you after all. Next time, I will definitely not suffer such a loss again."
"Next time?" Yun Shang curled her lips, there would be no next time.
Su Ruji endured the severe pain and slowly stood up. Her eyes fell firmly on Xia Huanyu. After a while, she said: "Xia Huanyu, I curse you. You will have no descendants or a good death." After saying that, she raised her hand and held it.
Holding Su Qi's arm, she turned around suddenly and rushed towards the cliff.
Yun Shang was startled, and when she realized what she was doing, the two of them were already gone from the top of the mountain.
Su Ruji actually knows martial arts? No wonder she still had the strength to speak after receiving such a heavy blow from Xia Huanyu just now. Yun Shang walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, frowned and looked down, but she could still vaguely see Su Ruji's face.
The figure gradually became smaller, and Yun Shang vaguely saw a faint sarcastic smile on her lips.
After a while, the two figures fell into the clouds and mist and disappeared.
Yun Shang was a little stunned, but Xia Huanyu had already said with a cold face, "Come here, search at the bottom of the cliff, you will see the body even if you die."
Luo Qingyan walked slowly over and said with two clicks: "This cliff is really extremely high, and you can't see the bottom at all. If you jump, you will probably die without a whole body."
Xia Huanyu and Yun Shang frowned at the same time.
Yun Shang didn't believe at all that Su Ruji would seek death like this. And she had just made it clear that next time, she would have already found a way out, and this jump would be to save her own life.
Yun Shang felt some regret in her heart, why she didn't kill Su Ruji directly just now. Cutting the grass would not remove the roots, and now Su Ruji was very guarded against her, fearing that it would cause a serious trouble.
Xia Huanyu had already turned around, looked at Yun Shang and said, "Where is Ling'er?"
Yun Shang then calmed down her thoughts, slowly bent over and saluted: "You are still in Huaiyin."
Xia Huanyu nodded and was silent for a long time before saying, "Take me to see her."
Yun Shang responded quickly and went down the mountain with Xia Huanyu. Junshan was still some distance away from Huaiyin. Qin Yi took care of Yun Shang's body and thought that Queen Hua was all well. It didn't matter if she went earlier or later, so she gave orders.
The carriage is ready.
Yun Shang got on the carriage, and Qin Yi sighed softly and said: "On the top of the mountain just now, His Majesty's appearance was really impressive."
Yun Shang pursed her lips, but there was some thought in her eyes. After pondering for a moment, she said lazily: "The more this is the case, the better it will be for us."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, "That's true. Your Majesty values Empress Hua so much that when you return to Jincheng, if nothing else happens, Empress Hua will be restored to the throne. By then, the prince will be the rightful king.
The emperor's eldest son. With Empress Hua here, it will be easy for the prince to become the crown prince."
Yun Shang curled up the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with joy.
It was still the same courtyard where Empress Hua had lived before. Qinyi stepped forward and knocked on the door, four times, three times, light and five times. After a while, the door opened, and a little maid poked her head out and took a look.
It was Yun Shang who quickly got out of the way.
Xia Huanyu quickly stepped into the courtyard. There was a deck chair in the yard. Lying on the deck chair was a middle-aged woman. Her face was completely unfamiliar, but her temperament was rare and dignified. She was not inferior to those in Jincheng.
When any noble lady heard the footsteps, the woman also raised her head and looked at the people coming in the door with a faint look.
"Ling'er." Xia Huanyu's voice trembled slightly and he walked over quickly. (To be continued)
