V2.Chapter 51

Jingxi palace and Jingchen Palace are built next to each other. The former is the bedroom of Sima Ruo, the eldest prince, and the latter is the residence of Sima Rui, the third prince. These two princes have always been regarded as the most powerful competitors of the heir to the throne. Even the palace is adjacent and compared day by day. The days when they are commented make them form completely different personalities.

Sima Rui is very well adapted to this life of intrigue and intrigue. If others are cruel, he is more cruel than others. Sima Ruo, undoubtedly, is the saddest role in this political struggle. Every time he resists, he cries out when he is in despair.

At a hidden corner gate of Jingxi palace, a woman in a black cape waited for Qin yunuan for a long time. Looking at Qin yunuan from afar, she hurried up.

"Princess Ping, you are here at last."

Qin yunuan took off the brim of her hat and looked at the woman in front of her eyes. She was a typical gentle beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Not everyone is as brave as Yang Cairen," Qin yunuan said. The woman's head was already bowed in shame. Qin yunuan's tone slowed down. "But Yang Cairen can think of delivering messages by means of tributes, which is really bold and thoughtful."

Yang Cairen shook his head: "it's not my credit, it's the great prince entrusted someone to beg me that day. Yun Guifei has the grace of saving my life. I have to promise."

How could Princess Yun have saved such an unknown concubine? Qin yunuan's face immediately revealed his surprise. Yang Cairen hurriedly replied: "in fact, Yun Guifei is not so bad as people see. She has to deal with many things. After all, in the palace, either you die or..."

"Yang Cairen," Qin yunuan calmly interrupts Yang Cairen's words, "if you really want me to help the big prince and the big princess, you shouldn't continue to talk nonsense here."

Yang Cairen hurriedly led Qin yunuan into the back door, saying: "now most of the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingxi palace have become empress's maidens. The third prince can even observe the movement in Jingxi palace directly from Jingchen palace."

entered the inner hall, compared with the banquet of singing and dancing outside, the inner hall of Jing Xi palace made people tremble, and even a waiting palace girl did not. Occasionally, from the dark place, there came a few women's tussling vomiting, dry, dumb, gloomy, with the dust of despair.

Yang Cairen has retreated silently. By the moonlight from the window and the candlestick on Qin yunuan's hand, Qin yunuan vaguely sees saichun, who is lying on the edge of the bed and desperately vomits with his hands clasped on his throat. After several months of breaking, he doesn't see that. Saichun no longer looks like the gorgeous girl in the hunting ground. She looks hungry and yellow, just like a refugee. She looks up at Qin Jade warm one eye, eyes flash a trace of surprise, a moment is a kind of relieved tone: "how? You're here, too? Did the empress send you to take me on the road? " As he said, saichun was protecting his stomach tightly. "You are so cruel that I can't let go of the children in my stomach. I know that every time the birth control drug sent by the Queen's mother is actually harmful to me. I will spit out all the drugs. I won't let her succeed."

Qin yunuan didn't speak, but behind him there was a sound of tea cups falling to the ground. Sima Ruo was standing at the door holding a hot water. Qin yunuan's appearance made him not believe his eyes.

"Princess Ping." Sima Ruo hurriedly approached and helped up saichun, who was askew and powerless, "you did come, I knew you must understand the meaning of my painting."

Qin yunuan said calmly: "Beidi is rich in cattle and sheep. The eldest prince refers to you and the eldest princess from Beidi. You are stopped by a fence full of brambles, which means that you are actually under house arrest, and the lady with a sharp dagger wants to kill the sheep. If I'm not wrong, you say that empress Chen wants to use Sima Rui's hand to fight you, right ？”

"No," Sima Ruo shook his head and looked nervous. "I'm afraid that what empress Chen really wants to do is the father."

Qin yunuan is surprised: "the empress wants to fight against the present saint?"

"Well," said Sima Ruo in a deep voice, "I thought that empress Chen's target was me and her mother. Now her mother has been in the palace for a long time because of the cold, and Jingxi palace lost contact with the outside world completely half a month ago. But since yesterday, I found that most of the experts who monitored Jingxi palace have withdrawn. If I'm right, they are now Heaven should have gone to the Yongchang palace where the father held the state banquet. "

"Why is the eldest prince so sure?" Qin yunuan picked up her eyebrows slightly. At the beginning of the period, she thought she was just going to help Sima Ruo escape from the predicament. But now if she is involved in the emperor, it is very important.

Sima ruoqingran smiles, which makes Qin yunuan feel a little confused. In this case, someone can laugh so quietly.

"Earth." Sima Ruo continued to laugh and said, "yesterday, I found the impossible soil in Jingxi Palace at the corner of the courtyard, which is the Xixia Royal mud specially used to raise green begonias. For this state banquet, yesterday my father and Emperor had ordered all the green begonias to be moved to Yongchang palace as ornaments. Therefore, I have 80% assurance that you can trust me, Princess Ping?"

Qin yunuan is silent. His deep eyes and those of Sima Ruo, who are equally profound and irresistible, have been looking at each other for a long time. This time, it's too much involved. If one move goes wrong, he will lose everything.The night in Jingxi palace is so quiet that you can hear three people's thin but heavy breath. It seems that you can hear Yongchang palace, the sound of swords coming out of sheath in the Sheng song and dance.

Emperor Zhaoxuan sits at the dinner table, squinting at the Hu dance performed by the Beidi dancer on the central stage of the banquet with his eyes full of appreciation. Leng Changxi holds the wine cup half in his hand, and hears the latest news from Leng Shuang. After listening, he frowns, but soon his face is calm again.

However, Sima Rui, on the other hand, took the initiative to speak to Leng Changxi: "look, general Leng didn't speak all night. Are you worried about Leng's body?"

Leng Changxi didn't even look at Sima Rui: "warm always takes care of himself."

"Oh? Is it? " Sima Rui's eyes were inadvertently glanced away, and his fingertips were slightly raised towards the wine cup. Such a small and imperceptible action was seen by Leng Changxi. He knew that it was a signal.

"What are you doing, third prince?" Leng Changxi suddenly snapped, and when everyone's eyes were surprised to gather on Sima Rui, an assassin in black who was hiding in the musicians jumped up in the air, took out the soft sword that had been hidden in the sleeve, and ran straight to Zhao Xuandi.

This person has excellent lightness skill and is extremely fast, just like flying arrow.

But immediately, a shadow faster than him was immediately followed up. The two men were on the table full of delicacies. The nobles and ministers in the palace were panic stricken, and they had already fled.

The other assassins in charge of the wind saw that the main force was weakening. They immediately came to help. In a short time, three or five assassins in black came out of the palace dancing girls with daggers or soft swords. They thought they would win if they had more enemies and less enemies. But who would have expected that two columns of black armour soldiers would rush in immediately outside the palace, each of them strong and glued together for a while.

Leng Changxi looked at the opportunity, then threw a pair of ivory silver chopsticks, directly hit the hearts of two of the assassins, and stood up. Although the banquet was a mess, the battle ended in a clean and decisive manner, and no one was injured.

Seeing that the assassins in black have been taken down one by one, you Gonggong, who is next to Emperor Zhaoxuan, just climbed out from behind the pillar and protected at the foot of emperor Zhaoxuan with trembling: "slave Slave saves It's too late to help. I hope Hope... "

"Go away." Emperor Zhaoxuan kicked away this hypocritical slave. Although he had also experienced military career, the situation was urgent and he was inevitably frightened. However, empress Chen just performed extremely well. Her first reaction was not to run away, but to block emperor Zhaoxuan with her own body. Therefore, Emperor Zhaoxuan was moved by her carelessness.

"Help the empress go back to the palace to rest." Emperor Zhaoxuan was distressed.

"No," said queen Chen, with tears in her eyes, "if I don't leave, I will accompany the emperor."

Emperor Zhaoxuan appeased empress Chen. The next sentence was to say to Leng Changxi, "general Leng has made great contributions in protecting her. It's just these assassins. They are brave enough to try to assassinate when I'm entertaining Beidi emissaries. Take them down to me and have a good interrogation. You're shocked by the great prince of Beidi."

just at this point, an assassin at the head suddenly moved his jaw, and the cold shoulder Kwai immediately stepped forward. He quickly pulled the assassin's jaw down, and needless to say, it must be dislocated.

"General Leng, you..." Sima Rui stood up trembling. He covered up his emotions very well. He looked like a frightened Prince just like everyone else.

Leng Changxi looks at Sima Rui coldly, but orders Lengwu to take out a poison bag the size of a red bean from the assassin's mouth. If Leng Changxi hadn't just found out in time, the sharp poison here would have killed the assassin.

"The assassin wants to commit suicide," explained Leng Changxi. "I can't let him die. If he dies, he can't ask anything." Leng Changxi finishes saying, eyes are clearly looking at Sima Rui.

Sima Rui's eyes slightly Drew: "as expected, general Leng's eyes are sharp."

Just then, the attendants who were in charge of sorting out the scene suddenly came up with wooden trays, with several soft swords in them. The leading attendants bowed and said, "emperor, this weapon fell from the assassin."

Emperor Zhaoxuan glanced at it briefly, just to clean up the mess. After all, it was in front of the emperor Beidi. He didn't want to lose his face, but suddenly a loud voice came from the crowd: "Alas? Isn't it the unique crape myrtle logo of the Dragon Tiger riding under the emperor's hand that is carved on the soft sword? "
