empress and princess

Pain, burning pain, burning all over the body.

From the coma yesterday until Chu Huaimin woke up at noon today, the wounds that have not healed have been torn apart, and the pain has been so painful that her whole body is numb and unconscious. If she didn't recognize her lying in the bedroom of the Hanqing Palace, she would have thought she had died. Hell.

At this moment, there was a familiar voice beside the bed, "You finally woke up."

"...girlfriend?" Chu Huaimin's voice was hoarse, and he was surprised to see Li Shizhou first after opening his eyes, but his headache was about to split, and he didn't have much strength to get up.

"It's me." So Li Shizhou helped her up, and then brought her a bowl of medicine, "Don't worry, you are still alive, you just hit your head and fell asleep for a while, and your body is covered with skin trauma. If you rest more, you will be fine."

Chu Huaimin was drowsy, holding the medicine bowl, "Thank you, Miss. But how can I..."

"You were first rescued by the king, and then protected by the Ninth Prince. The Queen Mother has already pardoned your capital crime."

Chu Huaimin was startled, his memory gradually became clearer, and he remembered the scene at that time.Halfway through the execution of Che Crack, Qin Jihuang suddenly appeared. The woman really desperately tried to save her life, but her hands and feet were bound and she couldn't resist. Qin Jihuang was injured trying to save her.

"Then King Qin, how is she?" His heart tightened suddenly, but Chu Huaimin still pretended to be calm and composed.

"Two sternums were broken, half of my life was lost, and I haven't woken up yet." Seeing that she was unmoved, Li Shizhou saw ripples in the medicine juice in the bowl with his sharp eyes. "Drink the medicine first, so that it won't be effective if it gets cold."

Chu Huaimin lowered his eyes, loosened his fingertips, and drank the medicine slowly.

The medicine is very bitter, and the mouthful is filled with astringency, and the lingering lingering taste lasts for a long time.

"Actually, these are not important. The most important thing is that the king will have a gap with the queen mother for you." Li Shizhou said softly after she finished drinking the medicine.

Bingxue is as smart as the eldest princess Chu Huaimin, so she could only smile faintly, "So, the queen mother will not let me go."

"It's not impossible to let you go, but you have to become a member of our Daqin. From now on, you can only think about Daqin, and whether your mother country prospers or perishes has nothing to do with you. You have completely separated from Chu, so that you can keep it. Myself." Li Shizhou took the lobbyist to the extreme without haste, looked at her and smiled, "Chu Concubine, you are now a guilty body, and you are not as relaxed as when you first came to Qin, so naturally you have no chance to come back. Chu State, you have a clear mind, you should understand these principles."

The truth of the words, left and right are only for the benefit of Daqin.

Li Shizhou is a counselor, he is planning the whole world for Daqin, how can he treat others sincerely.In the past, the eloquence seemed to be for her to quickly gain a foothold in Qin, but in fact, she was full of sweet words and traps everywhere.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder." In the end, Chu Huaimin seemed to compromise, and lowered his eyes.

"If Your Majesty is really moved by you, it's not a good thing after all." Li Shizhou shook his head after getting up.The burden of the family and the country, the world and the people are all extremely heavy.

This sentence made Li Shizhou resign, but it made the person on the couch restless for a long time.

tempted?Would someone like Qin Jihuang have a heart?

Chen Hao listened to the whole process, then walked out from behind the screen and knelt down, "Your Highness... do you really want to abandon Chu?"

"Chu is my mother country, how could it be abandoned with a few words." Chu Huaimin reluctantly stayed on the bed.

Chen Hao hurried forward to help her, feeling aggrieved and red-eyed, "Your Highness is wise. I wish that Qin would become more chaotic, and sooner or later the whole world would attack it!"

Chu Huaimin just laughed it off, his hands and feet were weak and he walked with difficulty, but his eyes were looking at the long-lost Hanqing Palace.

Flee from here, and finally come back here.

Sure enough, where it started, it will end——

"It's not a good thing for their mother and daughter to have a gap, but for us, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Qin Jihuang made it possible, but I may not be unable to do so." The moment he sat down, Chu Huaimin picked up the teacup and took a sip , the meaning of the eye wave is unknown.

On the road to Changxing Palace, palace people in twos and threes whispered together while no one was there, "You say, is Concubine Chu a demon concubine or not?"

"It must be the demon concubine, or else he almost killed the king, and the king has not woken up yet!" The tone was angrily dissatisfied.

"That's right, it's been three days since the king hasn't woken up, could it be because of the internal injury caused by the fall?"

"Your Majesty must be fine! Otherwise, you will not let the concubine Yao go."

A handsome girl hesitated for a while, and interjected inappropriately amidst the anger of the crowd: "But I think... Concubine Chu is quite a nice lady, she doesn't have any airs, and she pleaded for me last time. It saved me from a severe beating."

When one person in a group does not fit in, he will definitely be excluded.

So the girl was bullied by them as a matter of course, and they pushed her to the ground with a few hands, sneering: "No matter how good the demon concubine is, she is still a demon concubine, and a Chu person is a Chu person, so she betrayed the king and finally escaped from the Qin Palace. Help the demon concubine!" When the concubine speaks, she just doesn't take Qin and the king seriously, and be careful that the king destroys your nine clans."

"I do not have……"

"A lowly maid is a lowly maid. I thought I could fly on a branch and turn into a phoenix. I laughed to death. Even if you speak for the concubine Yao, she will not accept your favor now that she can't protect herself. Be careful what you say with your mouth, otherwise you will see me. You hit you one at a time."

"I'm just telling the truth..."

People who are kind in the palace will be bullied, this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Chu Huaimin who was walking around, and he heard every word.

It's very interesting, everyone in the palace scolded her in private as a demon concubine, a villain who almost killed King Qin.

However, it was rare for someone to speak for her.

"Too much bullying. Princess, I'm going to teach them the rules." Chen Hao couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to step forward but was stopped by Chu Huaimin, she said softly, "Don't be impulsive, someone will stand out .”

That person was not someone else, Chu Huaimin saw with his own eyes from a long distance away that it was the eldest son of Prince Qi's residence.

Sure enough, Qin Mingyue appeared and yelled angrily, "What are you doing! You have nothing to do?"

Seeing him in the early stage, all the maids rushed away in an instant.Qin Mingyue helped him up, the girl smiled at him gratefully, turned around and hurriedly left the place of right and wrong without saying a word.

Obviously, Qin Mingyue also noticed that Chu Huaimin was standing beside the bluestone, and turned to look at her.

Shun Shun's sleeves, he approached with a few steps, and when he came to Chu Huaimin to salute, he showed his usual naive smile, "I've seen Concubine Chu. The palace people like to chew their tongues if they have a broken mouth. Don't take it to concubine Chu's heart." .”

"My left ear goes in and out of the right ear, so I don't worry about it." Chu Huaimin smiled lightly, without any trace, "You are the eldest son, he is very capable, and you can't be fooled by appearances." Once you hear it, you can understand that there is something in the words.

Qin Mingyue was straightforward, "Isn't Concubine Chu referring to the matter of Shu Yudian?"

One was designed in the Shuyu Palace, and the other was tricked. If this layer is pierced, there is no need to beat around the bush. "Exactly."

"It can only be said that each is their own master. I really offended you that day, and I have no choice." Qin Mingyue put on a serious look and saluted respectfully, "I am here to apologize to the concubine Chu. .”

"It's easy to talk about." Chu Huaimin raised his arm and gave him a little support, "But I also heard that the lady is your aunt."

Qin Mingyue's complexion changed imperceptibly, and returned to normal in a blink of an eye. After that, she no longer showed a simple and honest expression, which made people look very generous, "Yes, Dr. Li is the grandfather of the minister." "I see." Sensitive, the chat ends here, "Your master, is it true that you haven't woken up for three days?"

"Yes, the injury is serious, and I can't even drink the medicine. Concubine Chu is going to see the king?"

Two sternums were broken, and he could not die or be disabled. It was indeed a serious injury.

In the sleeping hall of the Changxing Palace, King Qin, who had been in a coma for three days, was in high spirits. While playing chess with himself, he listened to the report from the hidden guard: "Some time ago, King Qi gathered Chu and Wei to attack the State of Song. The State of Song was powerless to resist and was in danger. .”

"Oh." Qin Tang Jingluo didn't lift his head, "The Song Dynasty is about to be destroyed."

"If the state of Chu doesn't support it, it will be destroyed." The dark guard whispered.

"You underestimated the previous Song King too much. She is not an ordinary person. The lonely king thinks that the Song Kingdom may not be destroyed." She knows what kind of person Song Rong is, and she has all kinds of tricks. If she really falls like this That's weird.

"Even if the state of Song is destroyed, the state of Yan next to it will be exposed to the eyes of the state of Qi, and the leader of the state of Qi will only have a good life. Let's just wait, and wait for the state of Qi to taste the feeling of being besieged by the six states." After a while, Qin Tang said again.She just sat and watched the turmoil in the world, everything was under control, she gloated.

The State of Song is located in the fertile land of the Central Plains, with several large commercial cities and strong economic strength. It is a big fat sheep, and anyone wants to eat a piece of meat.Qi State annexed Song State in one go, so we have to see if we have the guts.

"Since the Ninth Prince came out of the palace, I haven't visited you again. Something must have happened, do you need me to investigate?"

"No need." The black and white chess pieces were fighting fiercely at this time, "You just need to keep an eye on Chu Huaimin, don't let her cause trouble, and don't let her leave the palace for half a step, and save her life if necessary."

"Yes."

And Qin Tangjing already guessed that the little emperor uncle must have had a big fight with the queen mother because of himself. The two quarreled too loudly that night. Although it was suppressed, the wind still blew into her ears. Clearly.

Sometimes she was also very helpless, after the two elders had finished their quarrel, the little emperor's uncle turned his heart to the queen again.

They have been together day and night for decades, and they have been in the same boat through thick and thin. It would be unbelievable for Qin Tangjing to say that there was nothing tricky between the two of them. After all, the little emperor's uncle once disguised himself as a man, and almost married his mother and ascended the throne.

Being close to each other is the most tormenting, but Uncle Huang has been tortured for decades, and he still hasn't given up. A true heart can be learned from the moon.

Seeing that she was still standing still, Qin Tangjing waved, "It's none of your business, step back."

The hidden guard was a competent hidden guard, and he said before hiding, "The queen mother sent several groups of people, but the king pretended to be unconscious. If this continues, the queen mother will find out sooner or later. Be careful, the king."

In the end, there was no sound in the bedroom, and only Qin Tangjing was left playing chess alone.

But the words of the dark guard were like thunder, and she couldn't help but capture her mind, so she lost interest in going down, and lifted the chessboard, and the black and white pieces fell to the ground, all black and white.

Panting for breath, Qin Tangjing rested his forehead with his hand, feeling that he couldn't get out of the breath, it was extremely uncomfortable.The two broken bones also began to ache.

She has always dared not disobey her mother, who said that east will never go west, and it has been like this for all these years.

Because she knew that whatever the queen mother did was for her own good, she had to obey.

But after all, I am the king, so I don't have to make decisions for her, regardless of her feelings.

At this moment, Ami came forward to announce the news: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chu is here."

Qin Tangjing raised his head when he heard the words, "What is she here for?"

"I said I came to see you."

"Tsk, I just heard that I don't have good intentions. It's almost the same to see whether the lonely king is dead or not." That would disappoint the eldest princess. Qin Tangjing tsk tsk was funny, and pointed to the mess on the ground, "Clean it up and see the guests."

The black and white chess pieces were quickly cleared away, but Qin Tangjing had other bad thoughts, and ticked Ami with his fingers, "Come here."

Going by ear, Ami smiled and nodded frequently while listening.

Ever since, Qin Tangjing lay on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and still pretended to be unconscious.

After a while, the visitor walked into the bedroom of Changxing Palace and stood on the edge of the bed.At this time, Ami was feeding the medicine, and seeing Chu Huaimin beside her, she looked anxious, "Chu Concubine, what should I do, the king has not woken up for a long time, and he can't drink the medicine at all!"
