The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

Qi Yun urged her to go forward and walked to the gate of the palace city, only to see a young general in white robes wearing silver armor walking forward to meet him, his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar to Xiaoyu that Chu Qingxi had seen.The young general grabbed Qiyun's horse's head and said in a low voice: "The last general, Luo Yi, has been waiting here for a long time, and he has to deal with the matter urgently. I also invite Qiyunyan's family. Don't blame me for not being polite enough."

Qi Yun nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to be polite, you quickly open the city gate and let us pass!" Luo Yi first nodded in agreement, and was about to turn around and signal to the guards to let him go, but he saw the city gate winding down. Then, the oncoming cavalry team of angry horses in fresh clothes is led by the current Prince of Daliao——Yeluhuala!

It can be said that the enemy's road is narrow, and Qi Yun couldn't dodge it for a while, and Yeluhua immediately recognized her □"Chasing the Wind"!

"This horse—" Yeluhuala seemed to have drunk: "Where did you get this horse?" He squinted at "Zhuifeng", and the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar: "Hey, you guys Let's all come and see, does this horse look exactly like the Queen Mother's Zhui Feng?" He shook his head indiscriminately, beckoning his left and right attendants to come forward and identify him.

Qi Yun tightened the reins, and stepped back a few steps, intending to avoid Yelu Huala's scrutiny. Luo Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he rushed forward to pay his respects, and apologized to Yelu Huala with a smile: "His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother's Zhuifeng is sleeping soundly in the imperial stable, how can this little palace man make Zhuifeng bow his head and obey his ears."

Yelu Huala stared at her drunken eyes, thought for a moment when she heard the words, and suddenly whipped a whip straight at the top of Luo Yixian's head: "According to what you mean, is this prince mistaken?" Luo Yixian was caught off guard, with a white handsome face There was a red mark on his face, he gritted his teeth, silently endured the humiliation of being whipped, and smiled apologetically: "How dare the last general make up the crown prince? It's just that the night was cold and dew heavy, and I just drank Drinking wine, in case of a cold, it's not a joke."

But Yeluhuala turned a deaf ear to his flattery, and just kept looking at Qiyun and "Zhuifeng" under her. He frowned tightly, as if desperately remembering something.The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be.But right now, there is no good way to divert Yeluhuala's attention, not to mention that he has clearly recognized Qiyun: "What a cheap servant girl, so it's you!"

At this time the city gate had not yet been closed, Chu Qingxi knew that the opportunity was fleeting, if Yelu Huala closed the city gate, the three of them might not be able to fly.So she immediately made a decisive decision, and as soon as she urged "Jade Qilin", she rushed towards the gate of the city!

"Jade Qilin" let out a long hiss, soared into the air with all four hooves as if riding clouds and fog, and immediately overturned the guards who were about to step forward to stop them.And when the "Zhuifeng" saw the "Jade Qilin" rushing towards the city gate, he immediately raised his front hoof, kicked the green horse under the seat of Yelu Huala standing in front of him to the ground with one hoof, and then kicked his hind legs, He kicked and smashed the breast-protector on Prince Liao's chest, and chased after "Jade Qilin" in the blink of an eye!

Before Yelu Huala could utter a cry, she had already lost her breath.His lips were purple, his face was blue and white, and he was seriously injured.When the guards saw them, they rushed forward to save them. Even if there were a few who managed to catch up a few steps, they were left far behind by three people and two riders.

Seeing that the two riders had left in a hurry, everyone had to hurriedly lift Yelu Huala to the emergency room.Such movement naturally alarmed Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Liao. When Yelu Buda rushed from Queying to the palace in disheveled clothes, Yeluhua's face was like gold paper, and her breath was like gossamer. The imperial doctors all gathered in the palace In the small side hall, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was as cold and stern as a stone statue, was silently waiting for her to show her.

"According to your opinion, this crown prince is hopeless?" Empress Dowager Xiao's voice sounded deep and calm, as if she was talking about an unrelated matter.However, all the people present couldn't help raising their hearts. The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is everywhere, and the calm before the storm is often the most terrifying.

All the imperial physicians prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make a sound. "The Ai family asks you, is this prince really hopeless? Are you all deaf or dumb?" Empress Dowager Xiao's voice suddenly increased by an octave, and suddenly became sharp and sharp: "The prince in the palace There are so many of you, but you are all living for nothing? Could it be that no one can think of a reliable way to save your crown prince?"

All the imperial physicians focused their attention on a medical officer named Qiu Bingtong. This man was in his eighties and had served the Liao Palace conscientiously all his life. No one in the palace had ever been taken care of by him, even the former Liao Emperor Yelu When Buda fell to the ground, it was also under his care that he turned the crisis into safety.Therefore, the old doctor Qiu was in the Liao Palace, even the Empress Dowager Xiao would give him a little bit of face-to-face on weekdays to show his hard work.

However, this time, the old doctor Qiu did not dare to make a sound easily, because judging from Yelu Huala's condition, the situation was not optimistic.Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes naturally fell on him, looking at Qiu Bingtong's white head under the official hat, her voice softened a little: "Doctor Qiu, tell the truth to the Ai family, the Ai family and the emperor also You can be mentally prepared."

Qiu Bingtong wiped the cold sweat from his temples, knowing that the so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, if the answer is not in line with Queen Mother Xiao's wishes, the master's head may not be guaranteed.However, you can't just talk nonsense about this matter. If it doesn't match the facts, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be convicted of deceiving the emperor.Such a dilemma is really a big test for Qiu Bingtong.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's internal organs are torn apart, and he is bleeding profusely in his abdomen. It is in a dangerous condition and can be cured by extraordinary medicine and stones. The old minister is not talented, and he has devoted all his life's learning, but he can only ensure that the Crown Prince will be safe for ten days."

Empress Dowager Xiao's face was sullen, as cold as ice in winter: "According to you, the grandson of the Ai family is running out of time?" Qiu Bingtong knocked his head on the ground and said loudly: " Physicians dare not speak in vain, please ask the Queen Mother to learn from you."

Mrs. Xiao's back was sinking like water, and Qiu Bingtong's words forced her to face up to the existence of the problem.Right now, Emperor Liao doesn't care about state affairs, so the power in the world is naturally in her hands, and Empress Dowager Xiao has always been a womanizer, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her ruling.What's more, now that the Daliao army is strong and the country is safe and peaceful, even the common people praise it. Now that the heroine is in power, life is better than before.

What's more, this Yelu Buda is in his prime. Although Yelu Huala is the only son who has grown up now, there is no need to worry about future heirs.Furthermore, Naye Lvshuzhe, as the eldest grandson of the legitimate son, will naturally inherit the country of the Great Liao Kingdom after she and the Liao Emperor have lived for a hundred years.

Therefore, when it comes to state affairs, even if Yelu Huala dies, she will not be able to shake the foundation of the Liao Kingdom. Besides, there is something that the Empress Dowager Xiao cannot say. Now that she is in her prime, she is naturally unwilling to hand over power early to support her life. Emperor Liao was licentious and incompetent, and she still had an excuse to control the government, but if Yeluhuala had full wings, there would definitely be calls for her to return to power in the court.Now that this incident has happened, although Yelu Huala is alive, I am afraid it will be destroyed. If Yelu Shuzhe becomes an adult, there will still be more than ten years of work. The secret of words.

However, even if this matter is in line with the secret and dark heart of Empress Dowager Xiao, it cannot forgive the instigator.Seriously injuring the prince is a capital offense in any dynasty and any country. This is not just a simple injury, but also concerns the face of the court and the dignity of a country.

"Qiu Qing's family, this is the end of the matter, and the Ai family can't make things difficult for you. Prince, the Ai family and the emperor handed him over to you. No matter what, I hope you will do your best to save his life." She turned her head. Said Liao Emperor said: "Emperor, since the imperial physician in the palace has no other good prescriptions, Aijia thought, he might as well turn to the folks. Since ancient times, high-ranking hermits are all among the folks. You might as well allow them to pay a lot of money for beautiful women in order to help the emperor and grandson." Got a chance."

Yelubuda had a gloomy face, still looking at Yeluhuala in a daze.It wasn't until the eunuch beside him gently tugged his sleeve that he realized that Empress Dowager Xiao was talking to him: "Everything is according to what the Empress Dowager said." He bowed slightly in response.

"Call those guards and city gate officials in. The Ai family still has something to ask them." After the Empress Dowager Xiao settled Yelu Huala, naturally she would not forget to find out the ins and outs of the matter.Even if Yelu Huala's injury was invisibly falling into Empress Dowager Xiao's arms, since Daliao's face was at stake, Empress Dowager Xiao would not be able to let the person who seriously injured the crown prince go unpunished so easily.

When Luo Yixian and others saw Empress Dowager Xiao, she was already sitting upright on the phoenix chair in the lobby of the front hall.Luo Yixian knelt down on the ground after waiting for others to pay respects. He only felt that the air pressure around him was very low, and his whole body seemed to be overwhelmed by the invisible majesty.

He only heard a deep mezzo-soprano sound above his head: "Which of you is the guard of the Qingding Gate?" Luo Yi took half a step on his knees and responded with cupped fists: "The last general, Luo Yixian, has seen the Queen Mother!" He dared to raise his head, but he didn't dare to look directly at Empress Dowager Xiao, he only dared to take a quick look at the woman in the phoenix robe from the corner of his eyes, and then hurriedly lowered his head.

The Empress Dowager Xiao looked at a young general in white robes, and asked in a deep voice: "The prince was attacked just now, did you see it?" Luo Yi, before the saint in front, knew that there must be such a question, and responded calmly : "The last general was at the scene just now, but the incident happened suddenly, and the last time is too late to rescue the crown prince, it is really a crime worthy of death!"

Empress Dowager Xiao's gaze swept across his face slowly, and said again: "Since your duty is to guard the city gate, why did you allow the suspect to leave when you saw him?"

Luo Yi first said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the last general was questioning the visitor, but it happened that the Crown Prince returned to the palace, and the city guards saw that it was His Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately opened the gate of the city. For some reason, that group of thieves got up with His Highness unexpectedly. Afterwards, relying on his good horse, he bumped into several soldiers and ran away, the last general and others couldn't catch up, so he had to return angrily."

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at his face and said: "But why did the Ai family hear that those thieves are actually your old acquaintances?" Luo Yi was startled for a while, and hurriedly said: "The empress dowager clearly learned, the general will be wronged. These two men have never met before, so how can they say they are old friends?"

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at his face intently, as if she wanted to find some clues from his face.Luo Yi gritted his teeth first, trying to stay calm and calm.Because he had thought carefully before that the conversation between him and Qiyun was very secret, no one else could hear it, and the Qingding Gate was indeed opened by Yelu Huala, not because of his own orders.Therefore, Qiyun and the others rushed out of the city together in two strokes, which happened to make him separate the relationship.Therefore, he only needs to clenched his confession and refuses to admit any of it, maybe he can survive a desperate situation and save his life.

Sure enough, what the Empress Dowager Xiao said just now really lied to him.Seeing that he answered fluently, with no flaws in his joints, he believed him a bit for a while, then turned his head and asked His Highness, "How many of you, can you see the face of the murderer?"

One of the yellow-skinned guards with a goatee said: "Queen Mother, there are three thieves and two horses. One of them is a pregnant woman, and the other two—" His expression hesitated, Empress Dowager Xiao said loudly: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hide it!"

The guard said loudly: "The villain knows that horse, it is the jade unicorn sent by the Kucha country that day!" He swallowed, and said again: "There are two people riding on the jade unicorn, one of them The villain doesn't know him, he just remembers that he is really ugly and scary, and the other, if the villain reads it right, is Xi Qing from the Blue Wolf Guard!"
