Domineering

Chapter 54

Fortunately, for three years, there was a vision in the sky at night and Haishi.

The stars are hidden, and colorful lights suddenly appear in the dark, erratic and rippling, like dreams and illusions, falling all the way from west to east... In the middle of the day, the colorful lights disappeared and fell on Bailizhuang.

After the aftershock spread to the imperial capital, Murong Xing sat up startled in his dream, anxious and uneasy.When Gu Lan appeared, she felt relieved: "Gu Shiwei, what happened in the palace?"

Under the night, a horse-drawn carriage rushed outside the city and never returned; a horse-drawn carriage rushed to Miyagi, anxious.Between the criss-crossing cars, red is not seen, only pitch black, extremely viscous.

"Tai Shi ordered to see the empress!"

"Xuan-"

"Si Kou begs to see the empress!"

"Xuan-"

"Sikong begs to see the empress!"

"Xuan-"

Taishi ordered you to play: "Your Majesty! There is a vision in the sky, which is an ominous omen. I fear that Xuanyuan will be in chaos..."

Sikong Youzuo: "Your Majesty! There are thousands of villages in the east. The earthquake was so severe that I fear that innocent people's lives may have been injured..."

Si Kou Youzuo: "Your Majesty! Something is wrong! The bodyguard sent by the minister to Ji's mansion was killed, and Ji Yanlan escaped..."

In the middle of the night, all the civil and military officials gathered in Guiluan Hall, and played from the books.Murong Xing didn't feel sleepy at all, was overwhelmed by the bad news one after another, and drank cups of ginseng tea.

The cabinet lights up almost at the same time.

"Shi Yao!"

"Master!" Zhong Shiyao rushed over upon hearing the sound, and hastily lit up the lamp in the dormitory, "Master, did you feel it too?"

"earthquake?"

"Yes, I heard from the maid in Guiluan Palace..."

While the two were talking, someone pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.The bead curtain has no number, and the visitor cannot see the face clearly. Zhong Shiyao saw that it was a maid's attire, so she called out: "Qin'er? Come here."

Qin'er lowered her head and didn't respond.

Zhong Shiyao laughed and said, "The small aftershocks have made you so afraid that you can't speak anymore?" She stepped forward to pull her in, but her footsteps were delayed, as if she had discovered something, "Qin'er? You... ..." Recognizing that the person in front of her is not Qin'er, but a stranger, Zhong Shiyao was taken aback, "Who are you!"

The visitor didn't answer, the dagger in her sleeve answered for her.

The assassination came suddenly, Zhong Li was undefended, seeing the light of the knife, he subconsciously grabbed the pillow to resist, struggled and struggled several times, the assassin's knife shifted a few inches from his chest, and stabbed Zhong Li in the shoulder.

Zhong Shiyao was eager to protect her lord, so she rushed forward to fight with the assassin, but unexpectedly her throat was cut with a knife.Zhong Li seized this chance of survival, rolled down from the bed, staggered and fled in the opposite direction of the assassin, calling for help.

"Assassin! Catch the assassin!" The assassin didn't intend to let Zhong Li go, and pushed her to the ground within a few steps.Zhong Li panicked and said anxiously, "What do you want? I can give it to you!"

The assassin fulfilled his duty, as long as Zhong Li was alive, Zhong Li had nothing to do, and closed his eyes in despair.

It was too late to say it, but before the assassin hesitated, a person jumped into the window of the roof. The person raised a knife and dropped it. There was a flash of cold light, and a round thing separated from the upper body of the assassin, with a radiant scarlet color. object, rolled in front of Zhong Li.

Zhong Li's eyes went dark, and he almost passed out on the spot.The assassin's dagger cut her back at some point, and cut a layer of skin, causing a slight pain—fortunately, this pain kept her awake.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous..." The standing person murmured back and forth, as if she herself was frightened by the scene, "Master Zhong? Master Zhong, are you alive?" She squatted over to check on Zhong Li's injuries, Zhong Li saw who it was, couldn't bear to look directly at all of this, closed his eyes and said: "Master Liu's head-cutting technique, this pavilion is not flattering."

"You're welcome. Where is the medicine box?" Liu Ming didn't have time to argue with her, so he turned her over and tapped a few big acupuncture points, "Can you hear me?"

"I don't know..." Zhong Li glanced at Zhong Shiyao, who was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes gradually dimmed, "The medicine box should be put in the cabinet by Shiyao..." Liu Ming had no choice but to rummage around in the cabinet, and immediately This caused Zhong Li to be dissatisfied, "On the second floor, there is Zhixue powder... that is a medicine for golden sores, take it out together... Jiedu pill! Give it to me!"

Liu Ming hastily fed Zhong Li two detoxification pills. Seeing her ugly face, he glanced at the dagger on her shoulder. The place where the dagger was exposed was black.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Zhong Li tore off the cloth on his shoulder, exposing the wound instead, "The medicine was all given by Baili Changying, you just save it."

"Baili Changying?" Liu Ming moved quickly and kept talking, "What kind of friendship do you have with her?"

"Chess friend. When I lived in seclusion in Xishan, I often played chess with her."

"It's not playing piano music."

"Heh, she's covered in worms. When I play the piano, her worms go crazy. That scene, hiss—is even more disgusting than this."

Liu Ming was amused by Zhong Li, grinned happily, and tied a beautiful bow at his hands, "You can still talk poorly, it seems you're fine."

Zhong Li's face was pale and dripping with cold sweat. If it wasn't for diverting attention, she wouldn't have told Liu Ming about these things.

Liu Ming turned to Zhong Li's back and took the opportunity to scare her while she was out of sight: "Tsk tsk tsk, you don't have to be afraid of the bugs from Baili Changying from now on, you 'big bug' is much uglier than her." She The medicine was applied quickly, and the stitching technique was skillful and meticulous, and there was no fault to be found. "Zhong Li, you just said that I am not good at beheading. It seems that you have seen this kind of knife technique many times."

"...Su Rong." Zhong Li was in pain and didn't want to speak.

"That's right, that's right, the knife technique for beheading was taught by Su Rong, and it's almost the style of Qingming Pavilion. Alas, her knife is good, and there is almost no blood. It may not be able to cut it off... Master Zhong laughed today, but fortunately you still have the life to laugh at me."

"Pompous."

"Master Zhong, why don't you ask me why I'm here?" Liu Ming finished the last stitch, twisted his fingers, tied the knot, closed the stitch, and the stitch was completed in a few words, "Ji Yanlan two hours The former defected and escaped from the city, just...Your Prime Minister learned the news an hour ago, and hurriedly ordered me to enter the palace to protect you..." Liu Ming looked around and frowned, "As expected, you were the first one they attacked."

Zhong Li turned his head when he heard the words, stared at Liu Ming intently, showing an embarrassed yet polite smile.

Liu Ming didn't understand the smile, so he said to himself, "You child, your brother treats you so well, and you still quarrel with him, if I don't come, or if I come late, your brother will be so sad! You touch your conscience..."

"Are you asleep?"

"what?!"

"Oh."

"You 'oh' what?!"

"You guys are asleep." Zhong Li wasn't surprised, she just smiled, "Thank you for telling me."

"Who told you that we slept?" Liu Ming was startled and angry, "Master Zhong, you have a high position and authority, so you have to be responsible for what you say! The lower officials and the right ministers are pure and innocent..." Liu Mingyue The more guilty he said, the topic changed, "What's the matter? Master Zhong doesn't look down on officials?"

"I know that brother is interested in you, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..." Zhong Li was physically and mentally exhausted from this disaster, and suddenly felt that Liu Ming was a good choice for his sister-in-law. At that time, suppose you rode a horse and rushed from Lisi to Xiangfu, then from Xiangfu to the first gate, and finally rushed to the cabinet to save me, assuming no one stopped you to check your identity along the way..."

"Stop assuming, just tell me what you have."

Liu Ming came directly from Xiangfu Kingdom, Zhong Li smiled slightly, and asked knowingly: "Master of the Ministry of Rites, you are staying in Xiangfu so late, is it not suitable for you?"

"Speaking so much, I'm thirsty." Liu Ming stood up and poured a glass of water as if nothing had happened, and handed it to Zhong Li, "Your Excellency, please save some strength, you must have a lot to say to His Majesty."

……

The atmosphere in Guiluan Hall was tense, and Zhong Li's sudden visit interrupted everyone's conversation, even though she didn't mean it.

Liu Mingheng carried Zhong Li into Guiluan Hall, shouting all the way: "Lord Zhong is assassinated!"

Murong Xing heard the shout from a distance, couldn't sit still, and hurried down from the dragon chair, "Zhong Qing?! Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor—" Zhong Li in front of him, due to excessive blood loss, curled up into a ball and shivered, like Very endangered red carp.Murong Xing couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "What's going on! Who assassinated?!"

Zhong Li became weaker and weaker: "It's Qin'er, ahem, I didn't expect her to be Ji Yanlan's secret agent!"

"Impossible, Qin'er is..." Murong Xing said halfway, met Zhong Li's eyes, realized that he was testing her, and smiled sarcastically, "Ahem... as long as Zhong Qing is fine."

Gu Lan moved the cushion, Liu Ming gently put the person down, rubbed his arms, "If I'm one step late, I'm afraid I'll have to hold Lord Zhong's body." She said this intentionally, but she didn't expect that Murong would be happy the next moment. He took off his coat and put it on Zhong Li.

Zhong Li woke up, and she said: "The minister sent Qin'er to Hou Xinting to guard Ji Yin. The 'Qin'er' who stabbed the minister was a fake. It is most likely sent by Ji Changlan. I heard that she escaped. It's..."

Murong Xing smiled wryly and shook his head, raised his hand in a booing motion, "You are not allowed to speak again until the imperial doctor arrives."

"My lords have been standing here in the middle of the night, how can I be the only one sitting?" Zhong Li turned a deaf ear to it, and changed the topic, "Your Majesty, why don't you give me a seat together."

Murong Xing bestowed the seat, but there were some officials who did not sit, and General Sima at the head, he felt that he was strong and strong, and he could not argue with women, so he did not want to sit.

Murong Xing grimaced and said: "This battle is tough, all dear friends, please be sure to maintain your strength. Gu has sent Yin Ying to protect the safety of your relatives, all dear friends can rest assured here."

Zhong Li said: "No, it's the opposite. The palace is not safe, and the shadow should be withdrawn to protect you adults."

Murong Xing was angry: "Zhong Qing!"

Zhong Li spoke quickly: "Your Majesty, if Ji Yanlan rebels, she will never let herself be given the excuse of 'torturing and killing courtiers' wives and daughters'. In my opinion, His Majesty's position is the most important and the most dangerous!"

This year's courtiers are all loyal to Ji's family and to Ji Wen. For them, there is no right or wrong whether the seat is for the younger sister or the daughter-in-law, but the positions are different.

Zhong Li became more and more excited, Murong Xing walked up to Zhong Li, raised his hand, and slapped him lightly. With a "pop", the air froze, Zhong Li stared blankly at Murong Xing, a string that was tense in his heart broke with a "pop".

"Bai Shan is filial first, and it is unfilial to betray one's relatives! This critical moment is unkind and unfilial! Gu also sent a shadow to protect Lord You Xiang. If he knew that his sister said such words, he would be so chilled!"

Liu Ming looked at his distressed heart from the side, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhong is also concerned about your majesty's safety, but if you care about it, it will cause chaos."

Murong Xing and Zhong Li met each other's eyes, and neither of them would look away, until Murong Xing leaned down, leaned close to Zhong Li's ear, and told her clearly: "Zhong Li, if you die, what did you do? Everything you fought for will be buried with you. Including me."

"Are you willing to?"

Murong Xing smiled, "I'm willing."
