king and his guard

Empress An glared at her and yelled: "Damn you slut, since you know you're wrong, then bring it in truthfully!"

Ming Cui looked back at Xue Ai in a panic, then at Xiao He, Xiao He's face was pale, she bit her lip, Ming Cui grabbed the corner of Long Jie's robe, and said tearfully: "It's none of the servant's business. Prince Ai asked the servant to do this! The servant did not dare to disobey, the servant was timid, and sprinkled half of the powder with a shake of his hand, so as not to kill Prince Dan! The servant has no choice but to ask your majesty to forgive me, please forgive me!"

Xue Ai was so surprised that she couldn't believe her ears, she pointed at Ming Cui and said, "What, you said I ordered you? Why did you slander me, you..."

An Hou said coldly: "Your Highness, if you have prejudice against me, you can attack me! Why bother to harm my Dan, he is still a child, he respects you so much, how can you bear it..."

"I..." Xue Ai was even more speechless, her mind was in a mess.

Empress An was already crying: "Your Majesty only has your two sons. Dan is cowardly by nature and dare not compete with you for anything. Although I am not your biological mother, I have always regarded you as a child. Our mother and son just want to be together." It is enough to settle down in this palace! Your Highness, why do you bother to embarrass our mother and son? If you still hold grudges against me because of what happened last time, then kill me, and I only hope you can let Dan live!"

What she said was so touching, everyone hid their faces when they were emotionally moved, and Xue Ai was even more difficult to argue with. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say: "I didn't do it! You framed it! Empress An, You framed me!"

Only Long Jie shouted: "Pull this lowly servant girl out and stick her to death!"

Seeing that there was no hope for Long Jie, Ming Cui turned around and threw herself at An Hou's feet, hugging her feet tightly with both hands, and screaming desperately: "Ma'am, help me!"

She refused to let go even if anyone dragged her. Empress An cast a vicious look at her without any response. Ming Cui hugged Empress An and begged for the last time: "Your Majesty, don't you save your servants? Your Majesty, you—"

Before the words came out, there was a scream, and Ming Cui fell to the ground, with a pool of blood gushing out from under her body.

Everyone was horrified, even Long Jie was shocked by this sudden change. Empress An didn't know when she pulled out the saber from Long Jie's waist. The sword was held in her hand, and a string of bright red beads dripped from the blade .

With a "bang", the long sword fell to the ground, and Empress An limply fell into Longjie's arms, crying bitterly: "Dan, the queen mother has avenged you. If anything happens to you, the queen mother will no longer live! Your majesty, you have to do it for us!" Mother and child are the masters!"

Long Jie's eyes were about to burst into sparks, and he pointed at Xue Ai tremblingly and yelled angrily: "You are too much! You are so vicious at such a young age! You...how can you be worthy of your mother under Jiuquan! I want to abolish you!" I'll kill you...I'll kill you, the crown prince!"

Just as Long Jie wrote and concealed the edict, Zuo Prime Minister Jiang Wu, successive brother Dong Guojiu and other ministers near the palace rushed over after hearing the news, and they were not allowed to be notified. They pleaded for Xue Ai's life with one voice.

Long Jie's heart softened suddenly, after all, he was his own flesh and blood, and suddenly he thought of Mrs. Dong, when she passed away, Xue Ai was what she cared about the most, and she told him to take good care of him, but at this time...

After hesitating for a while, the pen in his hand dropped angrily on the desk. He looked at Xue Ai and said secretly: "Let's forgive you this time, Gu is very disappointed in you, you can do it yourself!"

Xue Ai even forgot about Xie En, this time the incident hit him too hard, he couldn't be caught off guard, it was a blow to his head, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

After the crowd had left for a long time, he still stood there blankly.Xiao He came up and said softly: "Your Highness, it's four o'clock, you should rest."

Xue Ai turned her head suddenly, her gaze was like a torch, Xiao He was startled, and he sneered and said: "Rest? Heh! I don't know what kind of unprovoked disaster will fall on me tomorrow! I have already felt it, I There is a sharp blade hidden beside the king, and she will never give up if it is not the king's life!"

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Xue Ai glanced at Xiao He suspiciously and said: "When Ming Cui died, she seemed to have something to say, but she died before she could say it! This king is always thinking, what exactly did she want to say?"

Xiao He settled down and said: "This servant is stupid, I really don't understand what His Highness means, this servant only hopes that His Highness is well and safe."

Xue Ai said: "It's best to be dull, if you have a different heart, you will never forgive me lightly!"

Xiao He was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty has served His Highness for life and life, with no other intentions. If you disobey, you will be punished by heaven!"

Xue Ai didn't speak, just walked to the bed, stretched her arms and waited for Xiao He to undress him, Xiao He served him cautiously and dared not neglect him.

When Xue Ai fell asleep, she was still sleeping by the bed, only listening to him tossing and turning all night, until the sky was light, and there was no movement.

Xiao He gently opened the curtain and saw that he had finally fallen asleep, but his handsome face was still full of deep melancholy.

Quietly looking at this almost perfect face, I couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings in my heart, and couldn't help sighing secretly: Xiao He is just a humble court lady, man is a knife, I am a fish, everything I do today is involuntary.His Highness didn't know that Xiao He was the Queen's eyeliner, and Xiao He had to report to the Queen in time for any move His Highness made.The queen was thinking hard, looking for opportunities to fight against you everywhere, she took this opportunity to make a plan, she gave me coniferous herb powder, and ordered me to find someone from the Donggong Yushanfang, so I found Ming Cui and said to her: "Once When it comes to questioning, you just insist that it was Xue Ai who ordered you, and the queen will protect you." Your Highness, Xiao He has no choice but to do this, Xiao He is the Queen's man, so Xiao He can't let her down.

Carefully appreciating Xue Ai's handsome face, his eyebrows grow into the temples, he has a straight nose, his skin is fine, as delicate as jade.How many women in the palace have been captivated by this face?

She slowly stretched her hand towards Xue Ai's hairline, and when her fingertips were about to touch his temples, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock.
