empress and princess

The Han family was wiped out overnight, the investigation of this matter can be big or small, the key is how to stop the people talking.So the Queen Mother issued an order to tell the world about the crimes of the Han family, and ordered the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty to personally imprison the sentence.

He was stared at by the adults during the execution, and the thugs dared not show mercy, and each battle was harder than the next.

And the Ninth Prince was definitely full of energy when he was pulled out and beaten, and when he came back, he was half breathed and his buttocks had already burst into blood.

If you can't move, you will die if you move.

Qin Jiufeng just lay there from day to night, enjoying himself leisurely.At first, there were people who came to visit with gifts, but they were kicked out by the housekeeper. Later, I heard that the Ninth Prince never saw guests behind closed doors, and gradually no one wanted to make fun of himself.

Until an unknown person wanted to break into the Ninth Prince's courtyard.

The housekeeper was in a hurry, and shouted with a bitter face: "My lord, that man is coming! I really can't stop..."

"Who is so ignorant? This king said that he would not see any visitors." Qin Jiufeng, who was lying on the deck chair basking in the sun, flipped through the page, and ordered impatiently without raising his head, "No, drive away."

Withered leaves fluttered in the yard, and within a few moments someone had already arrived in front of her.

The sun was blocked, and a shadow was cast on the soldiers.

Annoyed by being interrupted, Qin Jiufeng raised his head angrily, and the curse words were stuck in his mouth, and he was stunned on the spot, his lips moved slightly: "You..."

Someone poked her butt, "Does it hurt?"

Qin Jiufeng blinked and looked at her, still maintaining a dumbfounded expression.

"I heard that you were beaten half to death again, so I came here specially to see if you were dead or not." Li Shizhou bent over and smiled, not mentioning how many horses he ran to death overnight.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Qin Jiufeng came back to his senses, and confirmed that the person in front of him was not a fake, but the deadly enemy Li Shizhou.

"Aren't you disappointed to see that I didn't die?"

"It's quite disappointing. The news is exaggerated. I thought you wouldn't make it through the end of the year, and I was preparing to collect your body."

"roll!"

Qin Jiufeng yelled at her angrily, buried his head in the arms, and buried his expression, weakness and mixed feelings in his heart.At this time, the sun was clearly not strong, but the cold hands and feet began to warm up.

And Li Shizhou sat down, lifted Qin Jiufeng's trousers and glanced in, and saw that the scarlet flesh had begun to scab over there, no worse than last time.

Li Shizhou sighed: "My lord, you are really wise and powerful. Yu Ye personally executed the sword to destroy his Han family. I admire you so much."

Qin Jiufeng snorted softly in the book, "Don't bury me. The Han family hasn't been wiped out yet, so Han Wenxiu's line will be kept for you. I'll keep the next words for you. If you don't kill the grass, you may become a confidant." Big trouble."

"Han Wenxiu has made great achievements and cannot be killed."

A general is hard to find, and a general is hard to get. This has been the case throughout the ages.

The person in the book still hummed twice, Li Shizhou lowered his eyes, raised his head and took away the book that got in the way, and then revealed a face that was much thinner and still handsome and resolute.

And the Ninth Lord, who was half-suffering from the injury, really had rough skin and thick flesh, and it took less than half a month for him to regain his vigor.

Qin Jiufeng frowned, "Give it back to me!"

Li Shizhou smiled, "If you don't give it, what are you doing in the way, so you don't have the face to see others?"

"Bah, you don't have the face to show people. This king doesn't want to see your face." Qin Jiufeng spoke hard, and only then remembered his precious niece, "Where's Ji Huang?"

"According to the time, we should enter the city soon."

Strategists sometimes make mistakes, the last sentence has not finished yet, and the next one always comes before the person arrives: "Little Huangshu!"

Who else could it be if it wasn't the little friend who had been entangled for 18 years.

People are already running towards this side. Although the running posture with a roast duck in each hand does not have the image of a king, but falling into Qin Jiufeng's eyes, it made her smile. When she sees that face clearly, she feels sorry for Qin Jihuang again. Watching her darken and thin.

Qin Jiufeng suddenly turned his head, turned his eyes back to staring at Li Shizhou strangely, and said suspiciously: "I only got the news two days ago that you are still on the border of Qin State, how can this be..."

Now that the meeting is here, could it be that everyone can't fly?

Flying definitely can't fly, it's a waste horse.

At the same time, the queen mother from the other side of the palace summoned Chu Huaimin.

It was not the first time the two met, so Chu Huaimin was not too cautious.After winning the battle and returning, the queen mother was naturally amiable, and Chu Huaimin also accompanied her when she proposed to take a stroll in the back garden.

Chatting slowly all the way, the queen mother asked, Chu Huaimin answered immediately, every word and deed was tight.

"She has good skills and looks very good. She is an outstanding woman." Wei Si in Yuanzhong smiled and stood still, stroking the plum blossoms in full bloom in winter, and her palms and fingertips were wet for a moment. The credit is really not small, and you have conquered 35 cities for the Qin State. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Chu Huaimin saw that the Empress Dowager was in high spirits, so it was not easy to disobey her, so she came up with everything in the end.

There is no city that can be conquered easily. There are many dangers on the battlefield, and there are endless dangers in three days and three nights.

When mentioning King Qin's courageous killing of the enemy and being injured, Wei Si couldn't help but get nervous, but then she thought that the little unscrupulous Yigong didn't meet herself first but went to see Qin Jiufeng... She was laughed angrily again.

At the end of the talk, Chu Huaimin ended with a modest sentence: "Your Majesty's personal conquest and invigorating the morale of the army are the key to defeating Zhao Guo. The courtiers dare not claim credit."

Wei Si remained silent, picked a beautiful plum blossom and handed it to her.

This plum blossom was light but as heavy as iron, Chu Huaimin took it in his hand, still smiling lightly on his face neither humble nor overbearing.

"I, Daqin En, have clear punishments, and I will never discourage meritorious people, let alone neglect you because you are from Chu. This battle is based on rewards for meritorious deeds. Here at Aijia, what do you want?"

"Gold, jade and jewelry, or the Marquis of Fame?"

As worthy of a mother and daughter, it is the same to reward people for their merits and deeds.

The gold, jade and jewelry are too vulgar, and she doesn't even want to be tied down by the Marquis of fame, so she shook her head: "I don't want anything now, I just want to stay in Qin with peace of mind."

This sentence made Wei Si smile, "Forget it, let you think it over in the future, and it won't be too late to ask Ai's family for it."

"Thank you, Empress."

After wandering around for a while, getting tired from walking half a circle, Wei Si went into the pavilion to rest for a while.Chu Huaimin was beside her, also sitting upright.

"Actually." After taking a sip of tea, Wei Si put down her cup and spoke, raising her eyes to carefully examine Chu Huaimin's eyebrows, "You look a lot like an old friend of the Ai family."

"Old man?"

"Yes, you Chu people too."

Chu Huaimin was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately made a listening gesture.

And the latter really remembered the past years, and also remembered a gentle and tender face. Wei Si added a sigh of relief: "It was a long time ago. At that time, the Ai family was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had been to Chu China, I met her by chance. I don’t know how she has lived for 20 years, but now I still remember Aijia.”

Seeing Chu Huaimin's puzzled expression, she smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, people always like to think of the free time when they get old."

Time has passed and cannot be pursued, but it will leave an indelible memory.

Chu Huaimin seemed to be thinking about something, and took out a pendant from his arms for a moment, "I don't know if the Queen Mother knows this thing?"

The whole body of the pendant is smooth and emerald green, carved as a phoenix!

"This is..." Seeing the familiar thing again, Wei Si froze.

The reaction says it all.

Chu Huaimin's voice immediately became rough, and he said softly, "Before my mother died, I told my servants that if one day I go to Qin, I must find the owner of this pendant, return it to her personally, and ask her... can I return it?" Remember the people by the lake?"

Remember the people by the lake back then?

The man by the lake later became a queen like the owner of the pendant.The owner of the pendant is still alive and well, but the man by the lake died young.

There was no need to get a response from the owner of the pendant, Chu Huaimin returned his mother's pendant to its owner, and the owner of the pendant finally took it and left without saying a word.

This is a period of childhood memories belonging to them. After all, others are just others. I don't know what they experienced in Chu State back then, so they are not qualified to criticize others.

I thought I was looking for a needle in a haystack, but I didn't expect to be able to complete the death that my mother told me. This trip to Qin was worthwhile.

However, in the deep palace, important things never stop.

Chu Huaimin was still sitting in the pavilion, but when Chen Hao appeared, he lost his composure, and stepped forward anxiously, "Eldest Princess, something is wrong, Meng Qiong was arrested for trespassing on the Jade Palace!"

It turned out that as early as two months ago, Meng Qiong was taken into the dungeon as a spy, tortured and served.

Not long after, in front of the gate of the dungeon, the prison officer stopped several people fiercely: "No one is allowed to enter the Wang family's important place!"

Among them, a woman in white with cold eyebrows showed off the phoenix jade pendant. The prison officer was startled when he saw it, and his attitude changed immediately. He opened the door and said: "This official has no eyes, and offended you, nobleman. Please bear with me, nobleman."

The dungeon was dark and dank, filled with rancid stench.Several people drove straight in, and finally stopped at a cell door.

Inside was a group of tall human figures, the formerly majestic major general became a prisoner, with visible scars all over his body, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body.Meng Qiong heard the noise, reluctantly moved his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Hao patted the wooden fence a few times, "General Meng, are you okay? Wake up, the princess is here."

Meng Qiong struggled to get up, but his limbs were weak, so he could only kneel on the ground, and looked up at the door feebly, a flash of hope appeared in his cloudy eyes, and he wanted to move to the railing, and said weakly, "Princess, my minister... "

Without saying a word, Chu Huaimin reached out to grab his hand, and felt his pulse with frowned.Chen Hao whispered, "How is General Meng injured?"

"Your breathing is unstable, you have lost too much blood, and you can no longer bear the punishment and torture." Chu Huaimin withdrew his hands and said coldly, "Meng Qiong, how stupid are you to act recklessly? How can you enter the Shuyu Palace casually?"

Meng Qiong knew he was guilty, and smiled wryly when he heard the words, "It's not that I'm overconfident, it's the king... The king ordered the minister to steal the defense plan of the troops within three months, and the minister... really can't help it."

Not even a fly could fly in that Shu Yudian.He only sneaked half a step into it, and he has come to where he is today.

Chu Huaimin frowned even more when he heard this, "Before leaving, Brother Huang promised that I will not act rashly."

"Yes, Your Majesty promised." Meng Qiong coughed for a while, "Don't you know that the Eldest Princess still doesn't know that Chu State is rumoring that you ate and slept with King Qin, and that you helped King Qin attack Zhao State. Your Majesty is very angry, so ..."

So I couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but do it anymore.

Chen Hao couldn't help being angry: "Your Majesty is like a piece of mud, you can't support the wall!"

"Shut up." He retorted sharply.

"Princess..."

"Palm mouth."

Talking about the king behind his back is a sin.Chen Hao was angry and red-eyed, and decisively slapped himself twice.

Chu Huaimin heard footsteps approaching from outside, and turned around to see that it was the gatekeeper.The prison officer hesitated, and pointed to the inside of the cell door, "My lord, do you know this person?"

She nodded, "I know."

"He is a secret agent of Chu State, how could a nobleman, how could..." The prison officer had a bitter face.

"This man is a bodyguard brought by me from the state of Chu. I can guarantee that he is not a spy." Chu Huaimin said loudly, "Man, I want to take him away."

The prison officer's face was no longer bitter, and he almost vomited blood now, he hurriedly shook his head and waved, "No way!"

With ten fingers on his face, Chen Hao grabbed his shirt, "What should I do? I'm going to be beaten to death by you!"

"This guy broke into the Shuyu Palace without authorization and committed a felony. A felon like him, without the oracle above, even if he gave the subordinates a hundred daring hearts, the subordinates would not dare to let him go." Hunting people fiercely, and holding the master's jade pendant, those who see it are like seeing the master's house, the prison officers are fighting with each other, but they still bite the bullet and don't let go.

Chu Huaimin signaled Chen Hao to let go, stepped forward and patted his messy clothes, and asked word by word: "You mean, you will only let him go after the king of Qin's edict?"

The prison officer trembled even more: "Yes..."
