empress and princess

In the tent, Ah Yan glanced at King Qin who was lying on the bed and was still awake, bowed his head unbearably, and answered truthfully: "Your Majesty couldn't bear Song Rong's beatings and fell into a coma, it's... the concubine Chu sent someone to escort us return."

With a wooden stick with a thick arm and Song Rong's strong inner strength, one move is enough to kill half of a person's life.

However, the king of Qin suffered a full twelve sticks.

In short, I am glad that I came back in time. After being rescued by the doctor, my life was out of danger. Fortunately, there is no danger of life.

"It's only been a few years since he came out of the palace. His Majesty has been seriously injured many times. If it were an ordinary person, how could he endure these hardships." After speaking, Ah Yan sighed deeply, lowering his head and staring at his toes.

Hearing the words, Wei Jin slapped his palms and hurriedly chopped his feet twice: "There is only one life after all. The king is reckless, too reckless!"

After a long while, Qin Mingsu who was sitting beside the couch came back to his senses in a trance. Her face was still pale and she didn't say a word in silence. She just wiped the cold sweat off Qin Tangjing's body carefully with a cotton handkerchief.

Even though she was in a coma, she still seemed to be tortured by the pain all over her body. Qin Tangjing frowned, and the cold sweat quickly soaked the newly changed clothes.

The military doctor's diagnosis was only a hair's breadth away from a broken leg. If Song Rong exerted a little more force, Ji Huang's legs might be useless.

"Your Majesty was seriously injured this time, and the prince is not here. I'm afraid the next battle..."

"Why panic, I'm here, so why not be afraid!" Wei Jin shouted loudly.

Ah Yan stopped talking.

"In times of crisis, I no longer follow rituals and music, and can only resort to dangerous tactics." Wei Jin said again, looking at Qin Mingsu who had been silent all the time, and after a little thought, he stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Princess , I have a plan, I don't know if it should be said or not."

Qin Mingsu's heart skipped a beat, he had a bad premonition, and responded, "Doctor Wei just speak up."

Wei Jin then said bluntly: "Dare to ask the princess, what should I do if my king is seriously injured?"

"According to the law, beheaded to show the public, punish the three clans." Qin Mingsu's voice was very soft.

"Okay. Since Song Rong can do this kind of thing, so what if we kill relatives righteously, we must repay him in the same way. Princess, can you understand what I mean?" The strategy is very simple, in this sentence .

Qin Mingsu's hand softened, and the brocade handkerchief almost fell. She clenched her fist slightly, and finally raised her head slowly: "I understand what Master Wei means. Now it's the final moment of the decisive battle. Dead chess, stand by at any time."

Wei Jin said loudly: "There are words from the princess, and I thank you on behalf of Daqin!"

A wry smile rose from the corner of her mouth, she lowered her eyes, and said: "Ming Su is entirely up to Mr. Wei."

……

"The eldest princess understands righteousness, please accept my respect."

At that time, Qin Jiufeng was in awe in the main hall. A generation of war gods abandoned all her supreme glory, and actually lowered her forever high head to Chu Huaimin, solemnly showing a humble attitude of sincere admiration.

It should be convincing, because Chu Huaimin finally agreed to a secret deal between them.

It's a pity that the enemy is the enemy after all, Chu Huaimin just looked at each other coldly, standing straight in front of Qin Jiufeng and looking down at her: "Your lord trusts me so much?"

"Believe." Qin Jiufeng said, still maintaining the same bent posture, staring at the floor and parting his lips, and smiled: "Who in the world does not know that the eldest princess understands the righteousness of the family and the country, I believe such a highly respected person, and I don't even bother to go back on my word. "

Chu Huaimin raised his eyebrows, "According to your situation, I can kill you right now, why wait until after it's done."

"Until the world is united, I can't die." Qin Jiufeng suppressed his smile, with a fierce look on his brows, "Although this king is old and his martial arts have declined, if the eldest princess insists on doing something, she might as well try."

"My lord threatened me?"

"Don't dare, and it's not a threat, it's just a fair deal."

Fair trade, Chu Huaimin muttered these four words in self-deprecating manner. The two of them, uncle and nephew, are exactly the same in some places.

Chu Huaimin then remained silent, his heart was like a stone, and he still looked at her coldly.

"Besides, I always believe that with the outstanding ability of the eldest princess, it is not a problem to punish a little Song Rong." Qin Jiufeng's forehead slowly oozes sweat.

Song Rong has some tricks, and it is indeed a big threat, but compared to Chu Huaimin, it is not worth mentioning. Apart from the [-] army under Song Rong's command, she, the eldest princess, is really a troublesome existence.

The state of Song has survived to this day, among which Chu Huaimin played a vital role.

And it is faster to win over Princess Chu than fighting the dead.Therefore, Qin Jiufeng came here at a risk, and confidently took her deal, and negotiated terms with Chu Huaimin in person.

A drop of sweat soon fell from Qin Jiufeng's chin; and a certain part of her arm seemed to start to tingle faintly again.

This kind of indistinct pain had lasted for a long time, and Qin Jiufeng was disturbed, but the victory or defeat was at stake, and Chu Huaimin still had no intention of speaking.

The most famous war god of a generation has really reached the end of his life.

His waist gradually weakened, Qin Jiufeng couldn't hold it up, and he didn't dare to move around to avoid exposing his weakness, so he had to find a more comfortable posture, and finally bent his waist deeper, and his head almost dropped to Chu Huaimin's waist.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jiufeng appeared to be more pious when he appeared in an extremely 'admitting defeat' gesture.

On that side, Chu Huaimin pressed his lips tightly together, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally stretched out his hand to gently lift Qin Jiufeng up.

Qin Jiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he also felt a bit of respect in the other party's actions. He straightened up and wanted to say thank you. As soon as he met Chu Huaimin's eyes, he heard her say: "On the deep understanding of righteousness, my lord That is the most profound righteousness.”

Chu Huaimin's eyes were deep, extremely cold, but empty, as if nothing could enter her eyes.

But these words really came from the heart, and it was definitely not the princess's intentional cynicism, which Qin Jiufeng could still tell.

But this title was too deep, and Qin Jiufeng didn't want to be contaminated at all, so she shook her head hastily.

"The eldest princess is just joking. I am just tired and tired of endless disputes. As for the so-called understanding of righteousness, I will leave it to you who are benevolent and righteous people who have given everything for their family and country. You will be famous forever!"

Eternal fame?After hearing this, Chu Huaimin couldn't help laughing: "For so many years, the prince has made great contributions to the unification of Kyushu. When the world is unified, that person will definitely not treat you badly."

Qin Jiufeng shook his head, "When a person reaches a certain age, he or she already takes all these fame and fortune aside, and it doesn't matter whether you are treated badly or not."

"So, the prince has also participated in the game set up by the Queen Mother."

"Uh..." Qin Jiufeng paused suddenly, only then did he realize that he was being babbled, and couldn't catch up for a while, so he had to cough twice to cover it up.

"This shocking secret situation was planned by the Queen Mother Wei. Doesn't the prince know about it?"

In the silent lobby, there were two more coughs.

"Except for Qin Jihuang, I'm afraid you all know that you lied to her." Chu Huaimin stood in front of Qin Jiufeng, his eyes burning.

"Since the Eldest Princess has agreed to my request, then I won't bother you any more, and I will leave first." Misunderstood by Chu Huaimin that she was also one of the planners of this bureau, Qin Jiufeng didn't want to clarify herself.

As for Ji Huang,... the future is long.

The tingling pain that came from that part of the arm later became severe when Qin Jiufeng turned to leave.

There was an injury there, which usually didn't look very eye-catching, but it would hurt again and again, causing Qin Jiufeng to lose part of his power, so if he really fought against Chu Huaimin, she might not be able to retreat completely.

Standing on the spot and waiting for a while, Qin Jiufeng closed his eyes and opened them again. He straightened his back, looked straight at the front door, and walked out with steady steps.

"My lord." At this time, Chu Huaimin's still cool voice sounded from behind, "If I tell you, even if you don't come to me to discuss this condition, I will not let Song Rong go, so that the other person can be fulfilled. Hongzhi. I wonder if you regret it?"

Qin Jiufeng staggered immediately, almost unable to stand outside the hall, his lips trembled up and down, and he murmured repeatedly: "So, so..." His heart was beating wildly and restlessly.

"So I had this plan a long time ago?" Chu Huaimin on the other side smiled slightly, "Yes, I did have this plan. Qin Jihuang is the enemy of Chu State, and even my mortal enemy. I wish I could get rid of him soon. But I had to give her a hand. Isn't it funny?"

Qin Jiufeng was completely shocked and had nothing to say.

"To fulfill her is also to fulfill me, that's all." Chu Huaimin lightly revealed what he wanted.

In fact, she doesn't ask for anything, what she always asks for is the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and the sudden appearance of the person in her life——Qin Jihuang.It will be engraved on her bones and heart for the rest of her life.

Three years ago, after disappearing from the Chu Palace and coming to the Song Kingdom, Chu Huaimin didn't dare to take a moment of leisure. He was always planning and secretly accumulating energy for this plan, in an attempt to make a comeback.

Although Chu Huaimin struggled in every possible way and was extremely entangled, and asked himself countless days and nights, he always thought that he still had the power to fight back, and he was unwilling to be manipulated by others. There is half hope.

But these years, she has seen too many vicissitudes in the world.

She has always known that only reunification can end the cruel war and return the people to a prosperous and prosperous year.

If she stirs up trouble again and stirs up troubled times, when will all this end?

So every day and night she struggled in every possible way and was extremely entangled.

"But in the end, I still thought about it, and finally chose to give up the idea of ​​restoring the country. It was not because I was great, nor was it because I was cowardly, but because of my own beliefs. At this point, I had no choice but to follow my heart, give up resistance, and be willing to become this A chess piece in the game becomes... a stepping stone for Qin Jihuang to rule the world."

"The world has been in chaos for long enough, maybe everyone can be happy with this ending."

"Besides, Song Rong and I have a kindness. I won't kill her. You can solve it yourself. But for the [-] soldiers of the Song Kingdom, I will find a way to make them put down their weapons and submit to King Qin completely. Then the prince must be spared. They die."

Until the last sentence, Chu Huaimin's voice remained calm, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

Chu Huaimin was always cold and indifferent, standing on the spot with a clear figure.

for a long time--

"It seems that you and I have the same choice, and we both want to make it happen." Qin Jiufeng glanced at her outside the door, his throat tightened, and he said in a low voice.

"I am perfecting myself, the prince is different."

"Why?"

Facing the cold wind, Chu Huaimin slightly parted his red lips: "My lord has only Ji Huang in his heart, and he regards her as his destiny."

"Yes, you're right." Qin Jiufeng laughed, silently laughing heartily, her right hand tightly covering her trembling left arm, her voice suddenly rose: "Listen, I don't regret it! It's my fault I will still take all the punishment. Just remember one thing, it is me, Qin Jiufeng, who killed 7 of you, and it has nothing to do with Ji Huang, and Li Shizhou paid the price for it. I know you want to kill me, and you will get your wish!"

"But you should also know that it is impossible for Ji Huang alone to figure out this vicious game, so she is still kept in the dark. Ji Huang is a player in the game and even an outsider."

Qin Jiufeng's eyes gradually turned red, and the only thing left in his heart was Ji Huang, whom he raised and loved since childhood.

Poor little Uncle Huang, who is better than biological parents than biological parents, who wholeheartedly protects her sweetheart, Ji Huang.

"After the matter is done, my life is waiting for you to take it!"

The moment Qin Jiufeng left, he didn't look at Chu Huaimin again, and there was no sadness on his beautiful face, only the last sentence lingered: "But by then, there will be no one around Jihuang, I hope you can stay behind, Qiwu." By Ji Huang's side, always be with her."

The conversation between the two ended here, and the deal between the two parties was concluded.

Soon, heavy snow fell outside the door, completely obscuring the shadow of the god of war.

In the hall, Chu Huaimin walked to the threshold and stood, looking at the last touch of spring in the corner of the courtyard. It was a peridum flower, very fresh, and it didn't start to wilt until the last moment of winter.

After a long time, she raised an index finger and quietly wiped away the fruitless tear from the corner of her eye.

******

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Qin Tangjing finally woke up, and saw Qin Jiufeng for the first time after fully recovering his consciousness.Seeing her eyes open, Qin Jiufeng looked closer at her eyes, and pressed her greasy lips close to Ji Huang's ear: "Do you still know who I am?

Qin Tangjing tilted his head, rolled his eyes and slowly focused on Qin Jiufeng, his voice was quite dry: "Uncle Huang."

Qin Jiufeng clasped his hands behind his back, and nodded in overjoyed haste: "It's me, it's me. If you faint again, you'll be dizzy. The military doctor said you're fine, but you can't get out of bed and lie down for a few more days to recuperate."

"How many days have I slept?"

"Five days, you were comatose for five days." Seeing doubts in Qin Tangjing's eyes, Qin Jiufeng coughed and said, "I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed back in a hurry. What's wrong with you?"

Qin Tangjing was lying on the bed, sweating layer after layer, especially the pain of swollen and numb knees made her unbearable, but she still smiled weakly: "No. It's just a little flesh injury, don't worry, little emperor, Song Rong If that guy doesn't have this ability, I still can't die."

Qin Jiufeng stared, "Bullshit, you are always a human being, what if... that's all, it's your fate!"

Qin Tangjing blinked, and saw that the little emperor's uncle looked a little distraught, so he held his breath and comforted her: "Little emperor, the lonely king has great blessings, and the king of hell will not accept him."

A strange fragrance floated into his nose at this time, Qin Tangjing raised his chin slightly, looked along the strange fragrance, and finally landed on the lips of the little emperor uncle who was closest to him, and could not help but dry his throat: "What smell? It smells so good ah……"

It seemed that the smell was also very familiar, and it made her feel extremely hungry.

Ji Huang pursed her lips, but what she tasted was full of bitterness.

"Do you want to eat... the roast duck from Zeng Ji's house on Xuanwu Street in Xianyang?" Qin Jiufeng smiled with squinted eyes, and licked his lips.

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence, and then a hoarse voice came out: "Little Huangshu, you stole food again!"

As soon as this sentence fell, there was a burst of panting from under the bed, followed by someone snickering.

Everyone was waiting outside nervously, fearing that King Qin would be surprised, but when they heard King Qin's shout, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

In Xianyang, the city of the King of Qin, there are two things that the King of Qin favors the most. One is the candied haws, which are sweet and sour, and the other is the most famous Zeng’s Roast Duck on Xuanwu Street. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

When the uncle and nephew were still in Wangcheng, they bought this folk delicacy a lot. Because of grabbing a duck leg, they often quarreled and even competed with each other.

How many years have passed, and the battle has become busy, and the King of Qin has time and can't eat enough, so how can he have the good fortune to eat his favorite food.

It is conceivable how excited the king of Qin was when he was excited.

"..."

"Let me just say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. What's more, if you survived a catastrophe several times, all the blessings will be accumulated."

After finishing speaking, Qin Jiufeng got up to face the crowd, holding the half-eaten roast duck in both hands, and said solemnly: "Is it at ease now? Listen to the sound of the king's voice. All right, everyone, let's go!" Come on, Your Majesty is fine."

Facing Ji Huang's doubts, Qin Jiufeng was confident, picked up the remaining half of the roast duck, stuffed it into his mouth, bit it, and snorted: "It's useless to look at me like this, and it's useless to pretend to be innocent, you can only eat something light." Porridge, never touch a greasy thing."

Yes, Qin Jiufeng was punishing Jihuang by allowing him to watch but not eat.

Whoever taught her to be a hero to save the United States was beaten to death!She didn't teach it anyway!

Qin Jiufeng glanced at Ji Huang, and deliberately brought it in front of Ji Huang, "This is a good old friend of mine. He has traveled all the way to bring it here for me. This is the only one!"

The roast duck was so tender that it ran oily, Qin Jiufeng deliberately tore off a piece of meat with a lot of meat, and chewed it.

Qin Tangjing could only stare blankly, watching the little emperor's uncle eating deliciously, and she swallowed and swallowed, her appetite was whetted, and then she couldn't hold back begging the little emperor's uncle for a long time, only to get half a duck pitifully calves.

Chatting is better than nothing, Qin Tangjing felt that even porridge tasted better after eating meat, which actually greatly increased King Qin's appetite during his recuperation.

Xu Shi ate well and slept well, and Uncle Xiao Huang was also very considerate. During this period of time, no one else came to disturb her, so Qin Tangjing was finally able to get out of bed and walk around in less than half a month.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace after being idle for a long time, Qin Tangjing is not one to be content with the status quo, so her mind became active again, thinking about her plan to destroy Song Dynasty day and night.When Song was eliminated, it would be Qin Mingyue's turn, so she was gearing up and waiting for her final decision.

"The martial arts are gone, and the legs are almost gone. This ghost gate has been closed again and again, and there is no telling when people will really disappear." Facing her injured leg, Qin Tangjing, who is limping and looks very unrecognizable, After walking a short distance, he finally let out a sigh.

Sighing is sighing, there is really no regret, King Qin is definitely an infatuated species in this regard.

But looking at the long snowy road ahead, Qin Tangjing was a little depressed. She felt that it was impossible to go to the military camp by herself.

Ji Huang thought to herself: If Chu Huaimin was by his side at this time, it would be fine.

"Your Majesty, there is news. Tomorrow the Qin and Song Dynasties will fight. The Lord just told me to take good care of you, Your Majesty."

As a result, within a few days, such news from Ah Yan came.

"Ah Yan, tell me, which is more important, the country or the beauties?" By the ice lake, the wind and snow had stopped. After a long time, Qin Tangjing half-opened his eyes, smiled, and asked the question in such a calm tone.

She held the wine bag tightly in one hand to keep warm, and in the other hand she held the battle invitation sent by Song Rong, lying on her side on the bluestone, with a graceful posture.

Ah Yan sneaked a glance at the battle post in her hand, King Qin sat by the lake all day, could it be that he was thinking hard about this problem?

"This subordinate doesn't know." Ah Yan replied honestly.

"I don't know, or I dare not speak out, so if it were you, what would you choose?"

"Everyone is born different, and my subordinates are just secret guards, so why do you make things difficult for me, master." Ah Yan frowned.

The dark guard is ruthless and desireless, he just listens to orders, how can he understand these emotions and desires.

Qin Tangjing laughed, and clicked his tongue: "Responsibilities are also different, I understand this truth. But the lonely king is not just a drop in the ocean in the world, is it true that kings and kings shoulder heavy burdens, except for the two choices of Jiangshan and beauty, there is no second choice." Three ways?"

The moment he finished asking, he raised his hand, and the battle post fell into the frozen lake with a bang, and then floated twice on the surface of the icy slag, before sinking quickly.

Qin Tang watched indifferently.

"The reason why the king is in a dilemma again is purely because of his deep affection." Ah Yan whispered, it can be said to hit the nail on the head, "Just like the prince is so affectionate, he spends his whole life still waiting for someone to turn back."

But this person, with a respectable status and the power to kill, is the most unlikely person in the whole world to be with the Ninth Prince.

Qin Tangjing also knew who that person was.

Uncle Xiaohuang said that love is the most useless, but in fact, when they meet, they get deeper and deeper.

Even though Uncle Xiao Huang is always warning her, the most hurtful thing in this world is a word of love. There is no doubt that beauty is more important.

Because what Ah Yan said was right, the little emperor's uncle had spent his whole life tossing and turning between deep palaces and palaces, and he still had no complaints or regrets.

At the beginning, Qin Jihuang was also worried about what choice to make between the [-] captives and Qing. For the first time, she was quite rational and chose to destroy the captives and die in Chu.

This time Song Rong threatened Chu Huaimin, but she chose to face it and bet her life.

Anyway, there are only two results.Live, not ashamed of love, die, ashamed of family and country.

"It's a pity that the court hall was burnt down, and the Jiuding of the previous generation fell into Qin Mingyue's hands, and the lonely king could not return to the court hall to see the Jiuding again, so as to re-firm the shaken belief in the Datong." Qin Tangjing felt sorry for this.Love, blindly no antidote.

"The lonely king just suffered a little trauma, so he won't become an immobile cripple." The little emperor's uncle really protected her too much, "Ah Yan, help me up, the lonely king went to talk to the little emperor's uncle. It’s outrageous to fight.”

Ah Yan glanced at her, and seeing that King Qin's face was normal, he said softly: "The prince is also for the good of the master."

"Which is good?"

"Fighting is inevitable. What if you meet again, Great King... Concubine Chu. Then what should I do?"

"What to do, what to do with the enemy."

She said under the cold and thin sun, suddenly stood up, her legs were almost numb from sitting.

"Uncle Xiaohuang is training soldiers and horses, so he probably won't be free." Someone answered at this moment, stepping on the snow and approaching Qin Tangjing.The visitor had kind eyebrows and gentle eyes, and after coughing several times, he saluted her neither humble nor overbearing, "Ming Su, Queen Song, pay my respects to sister."

Qin Mingsu's body was frail, his lips turned white from the cold, but he looked quite energetic.

Even though Queen Mother Wei proposed and ordered to marry Song Rong back then, Qin Tangjing felt ashamed of her, the younger sister of the Queen of Song.

If she hadn't been impersonating her, if Song Rong hadn't haunted her lingeringly and traveled thousands of miles to ask to marry the princess of Qin, Qin Mingsu would not have the bleak current situation after marrying Song Rong.Song Rong, after all, is not a good man, everything is wrong.

"It's so cold outside, why did you come out?" After all, it was my sister, Qin Tangjing calmed down, moved over to cover her cold hand, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Mingsu held back, Qin Jihuang's palm was not warm, and smiled weakly: "My lord, my sister has something to ask."

The author has something to say: the details have been modified.
