empress and princess

"This is King Qin's hidden guard." As soon as Qin Jihuang fainted, the man in black immediately showed up to reveal his identity, and did not give them the slightest chance to hug them, apparently hiding for a long time.

"Dark guard?" Chu Huaimin glanced at her.

"Yes." The man in black explained, "Your Majesty ordered me to protect Concubine Chu earlier."

Chu Huaimin paused, then just nodded, not expressing doubts about her words.The king of a country is the most important thing, and he must have people around him to protect his safety.That's fine, even though he lost the throne, he can at least survive, which is better than falling into Qin Mingyue's hands.

She is very clear about the fate of Mr. Qin's sentence of cutting the grass but not the root.

"Concubine Chu, it's not too late..."

"I know that Hanqing Palace has a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace. Take her away. Be sure to go south and north to find the Ninth Prince." Chu Huaimin was decisive, and then began to carefully wipe the bruises on Qin Jihuang's face with a brocade handkerchief. The bloodstains restored her former brightness.

"Isn't Concubine Chu leaving with us?" The man in black hesitated, but was a little surprised.

"I can't go." Chu Huaimin lowered his eyebrows, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"But……"

"Don't talk nonsense, King Qin is your master."

In fact, for a moment, Chu Huaimin just wanted to hold the person in his arms tightly and never let go, regardless of the upheaval of the palace or the destruction of his family and country, he just wanted to block all sharp knives for Qin Jihuang, resist all the wind and rain, but countless She also stabbed the sharp knife in Ligoli, so she couldn't, but she couldn't stay on the sidelines after all.

From their point of view, life and death is the serious thing, and the death of both for love is considered a good beginning and a good end.

At this time, Qin Jihuang fell into a deep sleep and was determined not to hear what they said, but her expression seemed to have gradually turned colder, and the faint curvature of the corners of her lips was quite mocking.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense and hurried footsteps outside, getting closer and closer.

The two people in the hall couldn't help holding their breaths, probably the eldest son Qin was impatient to come and take someone's life.

The man in black didn't ask too many questions when the situation was urgent, and no one would be able to leave no matter how late it was.

Concubine Chu didn't need to point out the maze, she found the button to open the hidden door of the secret room by herself.

Hanqing Palace was originally the residence of King Qin when he was a princess. She was the only one who knew about this secret passage except King Qin. As for how the Concubine Chu discovered the secret passage, the man in black had no time to think about it after taking the master.

Standing by the wall, she looked deeply at Chu Huaimin, and said, "Actually, the king came to see you just to take you out of the palace."

After leaving these words at the end, the man in black disappeared secretly with King Qin's master and servant.

Maybe Qin Jihuang didn't really want to die for love. How could someone who never bowed his head to the world be willing to admit defeat.Because she refused to admit defeat, it was not unreasonable to come to Hanqing Palace. Qin Jihuang had already left herself a way out.

No matter how bloody the turmoil is, Hanqing Palace is still quiet and peaceful, those who shouldn't leave leave, and those who shouldn't come come.

In less than a moment, when Qin Mingyue broke into the Hanqing Palace, she saw Chu Huaimin sitting alone on the seat. He searched inside and out but couldn't find Qin Jihuang. He immediately ordered the palace to be searched and the whole place sealed Xianyang city.

After that, Qin Mingyue approached with a sullen face, and immediately kicked over the desk in front of Chu Huaimin, "Where is the person? Let me ask you who is the person!"

The desk rolled to the ground and broke.

Chu Huaimin didn't dodge either, raised his glass and sat down in white clothes, and asked indifferently, "Who?"

"Don't play charades with me, my people saw Qin Jihuang enter the Hanqing Palace with their own eyes. Tell me! Where did you hide her?" Qin Mingyue could fly away with wings under her nose, full of remorse and anger.

"Qin Jihuang came here, but left soon. As for where she went, I don't know."

"You..." Qin Mingyue raised her hand quickly, but in the end she clenched her hand into a fist and stared into her eyes with a sneer, "It doesn't matter if you leave, I don't believe that she can escape from Qin even if she loses her martial arts."

Chu Huaimin's expression tightened suddenly, "What did you say?"

Qin Mingyue spread her hands, seeing that she finally had a reaction, a sinister smile appeared on her simple and honest face, but her tone was regretful: "I almost forgot, maybe the concubine Chu didn't know, our deeply affectionate king just wanted to see you , abolishing martial arts."

Before the lingering sound fell, a gust of wind hit him like a sword in the next moment!

Unexpectedly, Chu Huaimin would make a move, so Mr. Qin was caught off guard by a slap. He staggered back a few steps before standing still. A sweet smell rose in his throat instantly, and he spat out blood.

"The deal between you and me ends here, let go of 7 people on the Qin-Chu border." Chu Huaimin stood still, staring at him coldly.

"Chu Concubine, don't worry, the show is not over yet." Qin Mingyue wiped off the blood from the corners of her mouth and straightened up, and stepped towards Chu Huaimin, still with that silly smile on her face, "Your Majesty is very resourceful, Daqin just needs you Such a queen. So, ma'am, you said that the enthronement ceremony and queen ceremony will be held together tomorrow, will the scene be very lively?"

"Then eldest son, tell me, will the eldest son be heartbroken if the precious throne he just won has been snatched away before he sits on it?" Chen Hao.The person who was speaking was already standing in front of Chu Huaimin, posing an offensive.

Qin Mingyue had no choice but to stop, gritted her teeth and stared at him fiercely, "You're threatening me."

"Don't dare." Chen Hao put on a show and cupped his hands, "I just kindly remind the eldest son that there is something to discuss, so don't mess around."

The atmosphere was suddenly solemn, and the two looked at each other, their eyes fighting.

They fought until each other's eyes became sour, and in the end Qin Mingyue left without saying a word, shaking his sleeves.

So in the dead of night, everything was settled.

The last answer has also been revealed at this moment, the palace change tonight is by no means Qin Jihuang's setup, let alone her trap.

The next day, the post-establishment ceremony was canceled and changed to the enthronement ceremony of the new king.

The Hanqing Palace and the Taishang Palace closed their doors to thank guests.

This means that the government has changed in the court, and the facts have proved that what Qin Jihuang said is true. The reforms have subtly changed the system of Qin. Bow their heads, and they are all beneficiaries of the reform, almost all of them are women.

After all, Mr. Qin is unpopular.

How can a person who pretends to be a fool and has never done a good thing to the country get support?Holding the enthronement ceremony is self-inflicted humiliation.

So halfway through the enthronement ceremony, Qin Mingyue angrily threw up her sleeves and left.

Not long after, the steward of Prince Qi's Mansion came to report in a hurry, and the old prince invited him back to the mansion.

Half an hour later, Prince Qi's mansion was in chaos, and the scene of Lao Tzu beating his son with a stick was staged again.

"Kneel down!" The old prince's temper was still irritable, and the walking stick he raised towards Qin Mingyue was trembling in the air, "Qin Mingyue, you bastard, what kind of hole did you poke for me when I woke up!"

Qin Mingyue knelt down obediently, but she didn't give in, "Father, I didn't stab you! Leave this matter alone."

The crutch was not soft-hearted this time, and fell down hard on his back.

In the past, it was all about intimidation and posturing, but this stick used all its strength.

Qin Mingyue stood upright, refusing to bend down.

One stick followed by the second stick, the third stick and the fourth stick... His entire back was swept by burning pain, and the pain was so numb that he could almost hear the sound of bones cracking.

"I beat you to death, you unworthy descendant. Do you want to be poked in the back and scolded as the father of the traitor after I died!" The old prince's eyes were red, and he was merciless when he raised his stick, "Do you think the queen mother is a good stubble? She You have listened to the government behind the curtain for more than ten years, and you have no ability to go from the general's mansion to today! She is by no means a simple woman, do you think you can really sit on the throne? Just because you are the son of a prince, you can enjoy the blessing of being in power ! You bastard, confused! You..."

The words were stuck in his throat, and his hands couldn't help being stiff, unable to breathe in or out.

Qin Mingyue suffered more than a dozen sticks, and her clothes on the back were already stained red with blood, and she couldn't straighten her waist with her hands on the ground.He lowered his head, cold sweat dripped from his chin, a wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he moved his lips very lightly: "Father, I know that the Queen Mother is not simple."

The sound was too weak, as thin as a mosquito, the old prince was only focused on beating someone and couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing his son being beaten half to death by himself, he finally threw his crutches down, fell to the ground and began to cry loudly.

Qin Mingyue heard his father's crying so shocking that he almost fainted, she raised her voice with restraint, "Then what do you want a son for?"

The old prince immediately stopped his tears and crawled up to him, "Return the throne to the king!"

"Okay. After paying it back, will the Empress Dowager let us off at Prince Qi's Mansion?" Qin Mingyue was so naive that she didn't even have to sigh, "Father, my son rebelled, and the situation is irretrievable, and it's going smoothly."

"I will ask the queen mother to plead guilty and ask her to spare you!"

Qin Mingyue only felt that the stick wound on his back was like a needle prick, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he had to pretend nothing happened in front of his father, "Winner wins, loser, son wins, why do you ask the Queen Mother to plead for mercy? Father, you are so wise and foolish, it is not true." Silly, don't you still not see the current situation clearly?"

Who can bear the crime of treason against the nine families!

"In this troubled world, it's easy to have villains and villains. Although my son's methods are not bright, he may not be a wise king. Father, my son is not playing around this time, and his heart is more clear. Don't worry, even if your son ends up badly It will implicate Prince Qi's mansion, anyway, don't worry about other matters, my son can handle it."

After hearing this, the old prince was completely stunned. He didn't see the true face of his son until today for more than 20 years.

It's fake to be playful, and it's also fake to be a fool, so which one is the real one?

Right in front of him, his good son had bloodbathed the Qin palace overnight and turned the world upside down. Even the king of Qin and the queen mother were plotted to fall one after another.

But whether it is true or not, and what kind of secrets are hidden in it, he...

No matter what you like, you can do whatever you want!

There was no one in the main hall, and Qin Mingyue was fined to kneel for two hours. His forehead touched the ground, and he still kept his head bowed.

He didn't need to look at him to guess that Song Rong must have offered another trick, hoping that the more chaotic Qin State would be.

After reading the contents, Qin Mingyue immediately tore the letter into pieces, and directly ordered: "Take back the troops, stop chasing her, and let her escape."

"This……"

"Need I say that again?"

"Yes! I'll go right now."

The servant felt chills down his spine, and hurriedly went out to carry out the order.

For three days in a row, Linyuguan was closed, and the people were ordered not to approach, and no one was allowed to enter.

Even the Ninth Prince who rushed here yesterday was blocked, the guard blocked the door and beat him to death, and he said harshly: "The general must pass here, unless he is stepping on the corpse of the last general!"

The news of the palace change had already come, and Qin Jiufeng was so anxious that he broke through the barrier for the fifth time in less than a day! "Are you going away?"

"Once the general leaves this pass, he will undoubtedly fall into a trap! The last general will be hard-pressed, don't let it go!" The guard was kicked aside, quickly hugged her leg again, and shouted: "The auspicious king has his own destiny!" , I’m sure An Ran will be fine. General, don’t be impulsive, there are twenty troops behind you waiting for your command to avenge the king!”

The guard blushed with grief and anger: "The Li family rebelled, Qin Mingyue's rebellious dog put the queen mother under house arrest, the king can only rely on the general now!"

Qin Jiufeng's breathing gradually became heavy on the horse's back, his eyes were blood red, his hands were pressed tightly on the bright sword hilt, his knuckles turned white.

"The Li family really betrayed?" These words seemed to squeeze out from between her teeth.

"It's true..."

"Impossible!" The Bright Sword came out of its sheath quickly, with a cold light flashing, and it was sent to the guard's neck in the blink of an eye. Qin Jiufeng jumped out word by word, "Nonsense, the Li family will never rebel."

The guard couldn't tell what he was suffering from, so he carefully moved the bright sword around his neck, and said tremblingly: "It's spread outside, Prime Minister Li has indeed turned his back on, and took the lead to follow Qin Mingyue, General..."

Qin Jiufeng backhanded, and the Guangming Sword immediately made a vicious buzzing sound, cutting off the guard's voice.

The crowd fell silent and were trembling with fear, when a shout sounded on the city wall: "General, there is a situation outside the pass, a carriage appeared ten miles away and is heading for Linyu Pass!"

The guard was puzzled, "Carriage? Linyu Pass has been closed for three days, who will leave at this time." He had a flash of inspiration, and looked up at the man who immediately looked at him coldly, "General, do you want to go and see, in case yes……"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jiufeng rode his horse towards the foot of the wall.

Everyone followed after seeing this.

In a short while, a carriage really drove up ahead. There were no guards around, only black-clothed grooms.

When it got closer and closer, the people who were half a mile away from the city gate realized that the groom was a woman. Qin Jiufeng naturally recognized the woman at this time, and when he got excited, he rushed to the wall and shouted to open the city gate quickly. .

The carriage then drove straight into Linyu Pass.

The woman in black is none other than King Qin's secret guard, a soldier trained by Qin Jiufeng himself!

And the person lying in the carriage was none other than King Qin.The moment Qin Jiufeng opened the curtain, he saw Ji Huang, whom he was thinking of, lying lifeless in the narrow car, his heart felt as if he had been hit hard, and he was light headed and almost dizzy.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm fine, but I don't know what I've taken and I've been falling asleep for a long time. When the effect of the medicine wears off, the king will wake up." The woman in black said in a low voice.

Qin Jiufeng steadied his mind, felt for Qin Jihuang's pulse, and felt relieved when he felt calm and powerful. "what happened?"

The woman in black glanced at the unconscious man, and told the story of that night coldly: "Qin Mingyue rebelled against him, and Prime Minister Li acted as an internal response. On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest, and they united to control the palace guards."

Qin Jiufeng frowned deeply, stroking Ji Huang's cheek with his hand, straightening out her messy long hair.

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Don't you think it's too easy?" Qin Jiufeng sneered.

"I think, but that's the truth. My lord, life is better than anything else." After the woman in black finished speaking, she said, "By the way, my lord, I got two pieces of news on the way."

"Say." Qin Jiufeng picked him up and got off the carriage.

When everyone saw the person in her arms, they knelt down one after another.The woman in black also jumped to the ground and followed behind Qin Jiufeng.

"Yesterday, Qin Mingyue gave Concubine Chu an edict and sent her to personally escort the [-] captives of Chu State back home, so Qin Mingyue is very likely to collude with Concubine Chu and use the [-] captives as a bargaining chip to frame the King."

Qin Jiufeng's footsteps stopped, and his heart was hit hard again, which was severely pulled.

The woman in black continued: "Another piece of good news, I have found out the route for the [-] captives to return home." Speaking of which, she held out a brocade scroll from her waist, "And, I have the order to kill the captives."
