Wind and Rain Empire

Outside the thatched hut on the outskirts of the city at night, Hu San, Wan Yanyue and Lan Xueyi are sitting by the fire

Hu San took a deliciously roasted chicken and handed it to Wan Yanyue

Wan Yanyue took the roast chicken and said with a smile

"Thank you, Saner"

Hu San smiled honestly and waved his hands, continuing to roast his own chicken

Wan Yanyue vs Hu San

"San'er, do you know where my brother is? He didn't come back so late"

Hu San pointed to the distance and made a beheading motion

Wan Yanyue gnawed on the grilled chicken

"He went to take orders to kill again? Is his leg healed?"

Hu San nodded

But at this time, Lan Xueyi was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the topic of the two of them.

"If Wang Ma goes back and sees that the lock is broken, she will definitely ask me to argue, but it's a pity that I haven't had time to buy a new lock, hey"

Wan Yanyue looked at Lan Xueyi and sighed, then pushed her

"Hey, I said you are dying, what is there to worry about? You still sigh."

"I sigh because I think you're too slow, can't you kill me quickly?"

Wan Yanyue stood up, holding the grilled chicken

"I've changed my mind now, I won't kill you, I want you to be my servant (walking back and forth with roast chicken) I want to bring you back to the Kingdom of Jin, and you will herd sheep, herd horses, and serve me Eat, drink, and sleep"

Lan Xueyi thought it was funny, and asked in surprise

"What? You need someone to wait for you to sleep, relax, and sleep?"

Wan Yanyue ate another piece of chicken

"Isn't it okay to talk about it? What refutation do you refute? It seems that you are smart?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Hu San and asked

"Hey, isn't he your servant? Why do you need so many servants?"

"He's my partner, not a slave"

Lan Xueyi is speechless

"Whatever you say (inner monologue) There is still half an incense stick left for this acupoint to be untied, bear with it, ah, I'm so hungry"

Wan Yanyue looked at Lan Xueyi with a sad face

"You haven't eaten since morning, how about I feed you roast chicken?"

Lan Xueyi became happy, "Okay!"

Wan Yanyue pointed at Lan Xueyi, "Ha, you men, you just think that women will serve you, and you want to eat this roast chicken? There's no way!"

Lan Xueyi turned white, Wan Yanyue took a look

"I knew you wouldn't be so kind"

At this time, a team of imperial cavalry ran by nearby.

Hu San patted Wan Yanyue to signal someone, Wan Yanyue kicked out the fire, Hu San went to explore the way, Wan Yanyue followed

Lan Xueyi waited to untie the acupoints, and followed after Wanyanyue

Wan Yanyue felt something was wrong when she heard footsteps, she looked back and was shocked

"Didn't you get tapped?"

Lan Xueyi stretched out her hand and spoke softly to Wanyanyue

"Shh, keep your voice down, someone is probably looking for me, you and Hu San send me out, and then you run away again"

Wanyanyue tugged at the blue snowcoat

"What? How? You have to come with us"

Lan Xueyi roared without warning

"The imperial army obeys orders, General Dingyuan is here!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Army heard a voice not far away, turned around and ran back, and saw three figures not far away

The general of the forbidden army didn't know the truth, so he said to the soldiers

"Maybe there is a fraud, shoot the arrow!"

The arrow headed straight for Wanyanyue, Hu Sanfei stepped forward and threw Wanyanyue down, while Hu San himself was full of arrows and vomited blood to death

Wanyanyue was frightened, crawled out from under Hu San, and held Lan Xueyi with a dagger

"You are not allowed to come here. If you come here, your General Dingyuan will die."

No one in the forbidden army stepped forward, so they could only watch Wanyanyue from a distance.

Lan Xueyi vs. Forbidden Army

"I'm sorry, brothers, and I've troubled you so much to find this general, so I'll let you go back with me."

She turned around and quickly restrained Wanyanyue, knocked on the back of Wanyanyue's neck, Wanyanyue fell to the ground, and then Lan Xueyi showed the gold medal to the imperial guards

Forbidden army generals hand over

"The lowly position is almost late, I hope the general will forgive me"

"It's okay, if it wasn't for the fact that the general had his acupuncture points tapped, he wouldn't be here (looking at Wan Yanyue and the dead Hu San) and take them both away."

The Forbidden Army general pointed to the two of them and repeated

"Take these two away!"

The soldiers carried away Wan Yanyue and Hu San, and Lan Xueyi left the thatched hut with the soldiers of the Forbidden Army

At the same time, Ziyun Pavilion in the imperial palace at night

Zi Linglong was lying on the couch, looking at the empty bedroom, feeling a little cold, so she opened her mouth and called out slowly

"Where are you coming?"

A young maid ran over and saluted

"What's your order?"

Zi Linglong was unable to open her eyes, so she could only look at her weakly.

"May I trouble you to bring me a glass of water?"

"Where is your mother, this servant will fetch water for you."

"Thank you"

Zi Linglong turned over

The maid fetched water, helped Zi Linglong to feed her

Zi Linglong asked

"Have the official family and the princess gone back?"

"Returning to your empress, exactly, just to be on the safe side, the imperial doctor came to induce you to vomit several times, and after confirming that the poison in your body was discharged, the officials took the princess back to the palace because they couldn't bear to disturb your empress's rest. do you know"

Zi Linglong shook her head

"I just remember that when I induced vomiting, I thought it might be a good thing to let it go like this"

"My lady, please don't say that"

"Since we're going back, that's fine. I don't want them to see Bengong's haggard appearance. Did the official say anything before they left?"

The maid bowed her head and answered

"The official didn't say anything, just said that there was still something to deal with and left. Just now, the slaves heard from other palace people that it seems that General Lan was kidnapped."

Zi Linglong didn't know where the energy came from, so she sat up excitedly

"What? Kidnapped? Who did it?"

Getting up was too hasty, Zi Linglong hurriedly clutched her aching abdomen

"I don't know, I just heard what other palace people said."

Zi Linglong got out of bed, moved forward step by step, clutching her stomach

The maid didn't dare to step forward to stop her, so she could only follow behind Zi Linglong, asking anxiously

"Ma'am, where are you going this evening?"

"I want to leave the palace to find General Lan"

Zi Linglong didn't even wear shoes, she stepped on her long skirt after moving a few steps, and fell to the ground

The maid hurried forward to help

"Your Majesty, you can't leave the palace now."

Zi Linglong stood up and leaned against the door frame, the cold wind blew, making her shiver

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, trying to drag her back to the couch

Zi Linglong pushed away the maid

"You don't understand, General Lan has saved Bengong's life, and now she is in trouble, how can Bengong sit back and watch?"

The maid held Zi Linglong

"Your Majesty, you really can't go out. You are now a concubine of the official family. How can you go out to meet others privately at night? Let's not mention this for now. With your current body, whether you can find General Lan when you go out is another matter. I'm afraid that if you get in first, if General Lan is fine and something happens to you, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Zi Linglong held the door, tears dripping down

"Even if I die, I can't let Sister Xueyi die... Sister Xueyi, how good this is..."

The maid comforted

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although General Lan has been kidnapped, the government has already sent out the forbidden army to look for it, and there will be good news."

Zi Linglong turned her head to look at the maid

"You said the government has sent someone to look for it?"

The maid nodded, "Yes."

Zi Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away her tears

"Then the palace can rest assured"

The maid supported Zi Linglong

"Your Majesty, let's go back and rest. It's windy here. You are weak now, so you won't catch a cold."

Zi Linglong shook her head

"I just want to wait here, as long as I can wait for news of her safety as soon as possible, no matter how strong or cold the wind is."

She looked out of the palace wall with a pair of cold eyes like autumn water

Maid turns around

"The servant girl will go get a piece of clothes for the empress and wait with the empress."

Zi Linglong smiled feebly

"Thank you so much"

The next day, the prison room of the Imperial Palace

Concubine Chen stood in the prison, talking to Empress Han outside the fence

Concubine Chen was kneeling and said angrily

"Empress, the concubine was wronged, what does it mean that you imprisoned the concubine without even checking?"

The queen glanced at it, indifferently

"Sister, you said that you are wronged, Aijia has heard it countless times, as for the sentence you said later, I will pretend that I didn't hear it."

Concubine Chen stood up angrily.

"Sister, what I said is the truth, queen, have you heard that it is the truth, why don't you just talk about it?"

The queen sighed and asked

"So I'm checking you now, since you think what you said is true, then what?"

"And what then?"

"Sister Chenfei, don't you want to explain a lot of why you were wronged?"

Concubine Chen stamped her feet anxiously

"The concubine really only put laxatives but not Hedinghong!"

the queen said calmly

"Sister, you admit that you let it go. No matter what you let go, you let it go. Besides, if you didn't let the crane crest red go, who else would let it go?"

Concubine Chen thought about it

"Tianxing! It must be that little bitch!"

Queen finds it funny

"She followed you out from your house. After following you for so many years, will she still harm you?"

Concubine Chen clawing at the fence

"People with ulterior motives, that's hard to say! Maybe someone bought her, wouldn't it be too easy to harm me? Sister Empress, save me!"

The queen turned her back on purpose to not look at Concubine Chen

"You, this is called stealing the chicken and losing the rice. What do you think? You are of a higher rank than Zimei, and you have received more favors than her. Why are you robbing her? Look at your palace. The rewards in the palace, the rich clothes and fine food, and look at what she has in the palace. The clothes she is wearing now were given to her by Aijia. I don’t know how many palace people there are in your palace, but there is only one Maid, it’s fine if you don’t learn from others, but you have to poison her.”

Concubine Chen's eyes widened, feeling unreasonable

"Sister, where did you start with this? She doesn't want those rewarding palace officials to please the officials. It seems that she is frugal. The laxatives I gave her were just a joke. Besides, she didn't drink it."

The Queen turned to look at Concubine Chen

"She almost died because of your glass of wine. No one would be as stupid as Bengong to talk to you so much (pause) Bengong's words stop here. You can go to more sisters yourself. Don’t blame the Ai family for not saving you, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for not being worthy of education, let alone being saved.”

Concubine Chen looked disdainful after hearing this

The queen turned her head and walked out of the execution room, thinking about it as she walked.

"This Concubine Chen is so stupid that there is no cure for it. It is estimated that the prince born in the future will be as stupid as her... No, the Ai family will not give you this opportunity."

Inside the imperial study

The emperor seemed preoccupied, pacing in the study

Eunuch Wu enters the study

"Reporting to the official family, the servant in the execution room came to report that Concubine Chen's personal maid, Tian Xing, blamed herself and committed suicide in fear of crime."

The emperor looked up and thought for a moment, and asked

"Oh, I see, what about Concubine Chen?"

"Going back to the official's house, Concubine Chen is being interrogated by the empress. She has not pleaded guilty to life or death, and it is said that she has a bad attitude and does not answer well. The empress wants to ask the emperor to make the final decision."

The emperor thought for a while and sighed.

"Hey, I'll check it out in a while"

Back in the execution room, the emperor quietly approached the imprisoned concubine Chen

At this time, Concubine Chen was yelling at Zi Linglong outside the fence.

"You little bastard, don't cry like a cat and pretend to be merciful! What I gave you was a laxative, what kind of poison did you vomit? You bitch, you just colluded with that bitch maidservant Tian Xing to conspire to kill Ben. You are from the palace, right? I know that you are so charming that you are here to harm others. You can deceive the officials but you can’t deceive me. I accidentally didn’t guard against you for a while, so you stepped on it and hurt me here. Here we come! Are you proud of yourself?"

Zi Linglong frowned but felt it was funny in her heart, and had to put on an aggrieved look on her face

"The purpose of my sister's visit is to explain to the Empress that Concubine Chen doesn't want to harm my sister."

Concubine Chen laughed and scolded

"Nonsense, this is simply a bitter trick you played. Of course you know that I didn't harm you! Do you need to explain the fart to the queen? Get out, I don't want to see you!"

the emperor growled

"presumptuous!"

Zi Linglong and Concubine Chen bowed and saluted

"The concubine has seen the official's house!"

"Concubine Chen, it's okay for you to be domineering and arrogant on weekdays, but now you're in prison and don't reflect on yourself! You dare to swear, do you know that you are no different from a cursing shrew?"

Concubine Chen pointed to Zi Linglong and said

"It's a clear lesson from the officials, it's this little bastard who harmed me!"

emperor furious

"shut up!"

Seeing Concubine Chen scolding more and more fiercely, Zi Linglong thought in her heart

"This Concubine Chen has no common sense." So she said, "Sister, I am here to excuse you, but why are you..."

so she started crying

Seeing Zi Linglong crying, Concubine Chen became agitated again

"Hey, you little vixen are still crying, I am! Why are you crying? It is Bengong who should be crying, okay?"

The emperor pointed at the concubine Chen

"I tell you to shut up!"

Concubine Chen felt really wronged, so she said

"Officials, in the Imperial Medical Bureau..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted

It was none other than the queen who interrupted her

"The officials tell you to shut up and you still don't listen? Someone come and put her in limbo"

Concubine Chen was dragged out of the prison by the servants, shouting loudly

"Si Yao knows that the concubine did not take the crane crest!"

The queen replied lightly at this time.

"The pharmacist knows that you didn't take Hedinghong, but who knows if there is any in the supplies you got from home. Would you tell us about the banned drugs you brought in from outside? You can even bring in laxatives. Wouldn't it be possible to get something else?"

Concubine Chen finally realized that she had been framed, with a sad expression

"Hmph, you guys are colluding, because you don't like me, so you finally put the blame on me, you should blame me! Just put all the crimes on me! (Laughs) Hahaha Ha ha"

Concubine Chen was taken away by the servants

The emperor raised his eyes, the queen smiled faintly, Zi Linglong remained expressionless

The queen stepped forward to the emperor

"Officials, the courtiers and concubines have already found out about this matter. The Hedinghong was concubine Chen's maid Tian Xingxia, and Concubine Chen was sent to the cold palace because of ineffective discipline and abetting crimes."

The emperor probably figured out the situation, and thought that Concubine Chen was really savage and outspoken, so he went along with the flow and didn't want to make things more complicated, so he simply answered

"The queen made a clear decision. With the queen here, I don't need to worry about the affairs of the harem."

The Queen shook her head and smiled

"It's a pity that the concubine is weak, and I don't know how long I can manage the harem. Sometimes I think it's really troublesome to manage the harem. If I and the official family are just an ordinary couple without so many trivial matters, I'm afraid I can live longer "

The emperor held the queen's hand

"Queen, don't say that"

Zi Linglong looked at the emperor and queen, thinking

"Concubine Chen finally understands who is behind the scenes, right?"

"Since the official mother has already dealt with this matter, the concubine will leave first." Zi Linglong bowed slightly and turned to leave

the emperor called out

"Beauty, wait"

Zi Linglong turned her head back, "Official, what else can I order?"

the emperor stepped forward

"I see that you are recovering much better today, and I want to walk with you."

Zi Linglong bows

"Yes, official"

Seeing the two of them, the queen was thoughtful, and then showed a relieved smile
