Funing Hall

On the night that Zhao Cong and Qian Yuemo discussed, Xie Wenrui changed into night clothes and came to Duting Station.

He bribed the servants who served inside and knew which room Gu Ci lived in.

Taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, he turned over and got into the room through the window, rolled on the spot, and was about to get up when a pair of black boots appeared in his sight.

He looked up, and Yelu Yanli smiled at him: "Here we come."

"..."

"Since you're here, go and see Gu Ci."

Xie Wenrui clenched his fists and walked to the bed. Gu Ci curled up on the bed in pain and passed out from the pain.But even though he was dizzy from the pain, his hands and feet were still curled up and his face was pale.Xie Wenrui turned around and asked, "What did you feed him?!"

Yelu Yanli said indifferently: "I drank some wine."

"What kind of wine makes people feel so uncomfortable?!"

"Poisoned wine."

"you--"

"Within thirty days, there is a cure."

"What if thirty days have passed?!" Xie Wenrui stared at him fiercely, but he was also indifferent: "If it passes, of course he is dead."

Xie Wenrui stepped forward to grab his lapel, Yelu Yanli turned around and avoided it lightly.Xie Wenrui stepped forward in two steps, and stretched out his hand in a claw shape to grab his neck.Yelu Yanli turned around again and kicked back, just in time to hit Xie Wenrui's hand.

Xie Wenrui took two steps back and attacked him again.

He simply pulled out the knife and placed it between the two of them, still saying calmly: "As long as you help me, he won't have to die."

"dream!"

Yeluyan smiled lightly: "So you treated him like that."

"You forced me?"

"Without you, there are others, and you are not worthy."

After Xie Wenrui was furious, he suddenly calmed down. His mind was in a mess, but he still remembered to firmly reason to Yeluyan: "I thank Wenrui, we thank the family, and we will never betray His Majesty!"

Yelu Yanli nodded: "Then just watch him die, human life is worthless."

Xie Wenrui couldn't hide the pain on his face, his eyes turned red, and he stared straight at him.

Yeluyanli put away the knife, and pointed at the finger bed again: "Look a few more times, and you won't be able to see it in more than 20 days. Don't even try to find the antidote, you can't find it, the only one is me." Yes." After that, he straightened the knife on his waist and walked out of the room first.

After he walked out, he closed the door and stood outside.

After a while, Xie Wenrui's suppressed crying sounded in the room.

Crying made him feel a little uncomfortable. He still remembered how Xie Wenrui treated him in his previous life, and he really lived up to the word "loyalty".In his previous life, Xie Wenrui was the most loyal person to him.

But Zhao Cong is very cautious, all extremely confidential matters, even Shao Yi doesn't know, only Xie Wenrui knows.The person Zhao Cong trusts the most is Xie Wenrui. Of course, besides Xie Wenrui, he had another person he trusted the most.

Yelu Yanli twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a helpless smile.

If it wasn't for the purpose of getting Da Song's latest weapon, and even knowing Zhao Cong's real plan, he didn't want to force Xie Wenrui like this.

But he didn't expect that a man like Xie Wenrui would be forced into this.One party cannot betray his master, and the other party is his lover.

It is really difficult.

If he—

If it were him, any betrayal would have nothing to do with him, as long as Zhao Cong is good, as long as Zhao Cong is still in his hands, everything is easy to talk about.

Even if he dies.

It seems that Yelu Yanli hesitated again because of the intimacy with Zhao Cong yesterday.He even wanted to let the poor pair of Xie Wenrui and Gu Ci go.He has the opportunity to be honest with Zhao Cong, so there is no need to treat Xie Wenrui like this again?

He walked back to the bedroom thoughtfully.

After another sleepless night, he thought about a lot of things, and near noon, he made a decision.

When he met Zhao Cong, he spared Xie Wenrui and Gu Ci and gave them the antidote.

He didn't need to torture them like this, it was also accumulating blessings for Zhao Cong.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relieved, and wanted to take another look at Gu Ci.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, several of his officials walked into the door and saluted him one after another: "Your Majesty."

"Is something wrong?"

"That's not it!" One person replied, "It's still a big deal."

Yelu Yanli frowned: "What's the big deal?" It wasn't that something happened to Zhao Cong, and it wasn't that some country started making trouble again.

"I went to visit the yamen of Honglu Temple today, and there happened to be some officials from the Ministry of Rituals. They said that Emperor Song was about to become a queen. It is said that a document will be published in a few days, and we happen to be in Tokyo. Do we have to say something? ? After all, we haven’t cut our skins…” Several officials expressed their opinions from time to time, speaking enthusiastically.

But Yelu Yanli froze when he heard the word "Lihou".

Qian Shang heard that His Majesty was going to have a queen, so he went to see his daughter by taking advantage of the time when the court was gone.

After all, he is Qian Yuemo's father, he doesn't come here often, and no one thinks it's wrong, and they still warmly welcome him.

As soon as he arrived at Xueliu Pavilion, he asked why.

Qian Yuemo said helplessly, "It's His Majesty's intention."

"Why didn't you refuse? My father taught you that the most important thing is to settle down in the palace, and wealth and glory are secondary."

"Father, how can a daughter refuse? That is His Majesty."

Qian Shang was speechless, yes, that is His Majesty.And he didn't want to stay for long, took a deep look at her, and could only walk away.

Qian Yuemo continued to sigh, it turned out that not only herself, but even her father did not want her to be the queen.But her father's behavior made her feel a little strange.It is true that she lives and lives in peace, but now it is her No. 11 year in the palace, the palace power is in her hands, His Majesty respects her, she is living a very good life.

She no longer needs to be frightened, and her life is already in her hands.

At this time, why did her father disapprove of her being a queen?

But she didn't think too much about it, after all, her father was born as a top scholar, and he has the unique aloofness of a scholar.After all, she herself has no intention of being in the second place at all, and it's useless to think too much, it's a foregone conclusion.

Not only her, but also the money merchant and Yelu Yanli.

Zhao Zongning ran a few laps at home, drank tea, and was about to change clothes.Che Xia came in from the outside and said happily: "Princess, Your Majesty wants to make Mrs. Qian his queen."

Zhao Zongning loosened his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into slag.

"Princess?"

Zhao Zongning said anxiously: "For such a big matter, why don't my brother and Concubine Shu handle it without telling me!"

"..." Chexia felt that their princess was a bit strange. This matter was originally a matter between His Majesty and Mrs. Qian. Besides, their princess was not the kind of sister who would take care of her elder brother's affairs, so why did His Majesty say it personally One sound.

Zhao Zongning didn't change his clothes, he asked someone to prepare the horse, and he got on the horse without anyone taking it, and hurried into the palace.

She also took a shortcut and shuttled through various alleys.But unexpectedly, when she came to the entrance of an alley, her horse was frightened by something, and her front hooves were raised together.Zhao Zongning was already riding fast, but he was also a little absent-minded, and couldn't hold the horse in time.

She was thrown away by the frenzied horse, she opened her mouth slightly in shock, feeling deeply that she was about to fall hard, and Che Xia's exclamation came from behind.

Just when Zhao Zongning thought she had landed safely, she was hugged by someone.

He hugged her very politely, but barely touched her back and knees.Panting for breath, she looked up, Zhao Shiqi!

She is still used to this old name.

It was indeed Yelu Yanli.

His face was expressionless: "I'm offended." He covered the tip of Zhao Zongning's nose with a handkerchief. Zhao Zongning stared at him for a while, but finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

Yelu Yanli carried her to the carriage in an alley, and put Zhao Zongning into it.

The attendants tied up Che Xia and gagged her.

Yelu Yanli looked down at her, and said coldly: "Go and tell your Majesty, if you want to save his sister, come to Jinmingchi to see me." After finishing speaking, he turned and got on the horse, the groom said "drive", and the carriage headed out of the city.

Che Xia whimpered in pain, but there was nothing he could do.

Yelu Yanli couldn't be more calm in the carriage.

Ever since he was sure that Zhao Cong really wanted to make Qian Yuemo his successor, he knew that Zhao Cong would not let him enter the palace again.

He really didn't want to really "force the palace".

He made big mistakes again and again because of hesitation and soft-heartedness, and this time he almost went down the old path because of it again.

All of this, can't it prove that he got Zhao Cong's way completely, or is there only that one?

Zhao Cong was also shocked when he heard that Yelu Yanli had kidnapped Zhao Zongning.

He never imagined that he could do this.

Yelu Yanli indeed knew him best, knowing who the most important person in his heart was.

If other people were kidnapped today, Zhao Cong would never go there in person, but that person is Zhao Zongning.Yeluyanli is indeed courageous.

No matter how much he refused to face that person, he could only go to Jin Mingchi.

When he was sitting on the carriage to Jin Mingchi, he himself was smiling wryly.Who is playing in this enclosure?He came up with such a method, not just to avoid that person, but in the end, he had to take the car to meet him again.

During the Ruiqing Festival, half of the Jinming Pond is open to the common people as usual.

At night, it was still lively. In the open half, there were many jugglers arranged by the court, performing happily, and the people around applauded from time to time.Even the surrounding guards, although still guarding against the surroundings, couldn't help but be attracted.

But these are not harmful to Yeluyan's theory.

He is very familiar with Jin Mingchi, and knows how many doors there are.Their car was parked outside the west gate guarded only by guards. The guards would never have thought that someone would come here at this time, and they were a little lax.His entourage climbed up the courtyard wall earlier, jumped down when approaching the guards, and stunned them all with drugs.

The carriage drove in directly from the west gate.

I haven't seen him for many years, but the depth of Jinming Pond is still the same as before.

Even the vermilion curtain that he ordered people to hang up back then is still there and has not been removed.It can be seen from this that Zhao Cong probably never lived in these six years.

Jin Mingchi kept some palace maids, but they didn't change much, they were still the same batch from before.

The maids who stayed behind didn't have much work to do. Taking advantage of the excitement of the Ruiqing Festival, most of them went to the front to watch the excitement.There were not many people left here, and when they saw a carriage approaching, they didn't see the guards following the carriage clearly, so they thought it was someone from the palace, so they came out one after another.Just as they were about to salute, they saw Yelu Yanli coming down with someone in his arms, and they were all stunned.

They have seen and recognized Zhao Shiqi.

There was even one of them who was the court lady who had watched him set off lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival.They watched him, who had changed, strode into the palace with a woman who seemed to be a princess in his arms.

After passing by, they suddenly came back to their senses, and immediately divided into two groups.One group ran in, and the other group was obviously going to the front to call for someone.Unexpectedly, before he ran out, he was caught by the guards in foreign costumes.

The open part of Jinming Pond was separated from the back by a door, Yelu Yanli sent someone to guard the door, and surrounded all the palace ladies and eunuchs behind.He put Zhao Zongning carefully on the bed, and then asked two court ladies to come and accompany her.

He himself walked into the courtyard and walked to a stone table.

The wine and dishes they brought were set on the stone table, he glanced at it, then turned and sat on the stool.

Wait for Zhao Cong to come.

After Che Xia entered the palace to report the situation, Zhao Cong rushed here immediately.

Yelu Yanli sat down, and within half an hour, Zhao Cong's carriage drove up from outside the courtyard.

The groom pulled the rope and said "Woo--", and the dozen or so horses behind the carriage stopped together.The personal guards got off their horses first, holding weapons in their hands, guarding the side of the carriage, staring at him covetously.

He just stared at the carriage.

Before looking at it for too long, Fu Lu pushed open the door from the inside, opened the curtain, and jumped out of the car first.Turning around, he helped His Majesty.

Zhao Cong came out of the carriage, stood high on the carriage, and saw Yelu Yanli sitting on the stone bench three feet away.

With his right hand behind his back, he narrowed his eyes slightly under the moonlight.

Yelu Yanli did not back down and looked at him.

"Your Majesty—" Fu Lu reached out to him.

Only then did he look away, and jumped out of the carriage holding Fu Lu's hand.

After a few steps, he also walked to the stone table, followed by Fu Lu and his personal guards.

Yelu Yanli was still sitting, looked up at him, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty came down very quickly."

Zhao Cong's hand was still behind his back, and he clenched it unconsciously. Even though he had faced him many times, Zhao Cong still had difficulty adapting.This is the child who was lying on the ground with a disheveled face from before, and was taken back to Funing Hall by him.

"Your Majesty, sit down." Yelu Yanli made an inviting gesture towards him.

Zhao Cong sat down opposite him with a blank face.

After sitting down, Zhao Cong first asked, "Where is Zhao Zongning?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, she just took a little drug, and she will wake up tomorrow. The medicine will not hurt her body, and it is a medicine made from the palace's secret recipe."

Just a little drugged?

No harm?

Zhao Cong sneered: "After all, it is Emperor Liao, there is such a powerful medicine in the palace."

Yelu Yanli smiled, but did not speak.Instead, he picked up the wine jug and filled the delicate wine glass in front of him, his movements were unhurried and elegant.

Zhao Cong looked down at the liquid slowly flowing into the wine glass, and clenched his hands on his lap unconsciously.

At this time, do you still want to have a good time together? !

Zhao Cong felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to restrain his temper when facing him, so he wanted to solve the matter here quickly.Before his flagon was taken back, Zhao Cong asked again, "Which room is she in?"

"I told His Majesty, His Majesty took her and left. Then why should I tell you?"

Zhao Cong was so angry that he wanted to slap the table, what is this called?

"You stunned her, are you reasonable?! Where is she hindering you?"

These words hit Yelu Yanli's sore spot. He looked at Zhao Cong, his eyes suddenly became cold: "Your Majesty asked me? She didn't hinder me, even though she once stabbed me with a sword, I don't mind at all." Don't blame her. Your Majesty doesn't know why I stunned her?!" When he said the last sentence, he even gritted his teeth.

Zhao Cong's mind cleared up.

He naturally knew why, but just now he was flustered and short-tempered, and he spoke without thinking.Annoyance flashed across his face unconsciously, and in front of this person, it was instinct to never hide his true emotions.For a moment, he couldn't adjust his expression.

Yelu Yanli saw it clearly, and his heart softened. Similarly, this was also instinct.

Yelu Yanli withdrew his hand and put the jug back on the table.
