Reborn to the fourth year of Jianyuan
Chapter 331
In the middle of the night, Yue Qingfeng, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the slight sound of the window.
Originally, I wanted to wake Qiu Ju up, but when I thought about it, I didn't feel sleepy for a while.Simply Yue Qingfeng got up, held the lamp in person and walked towards the window.
Holding the lamp in one hand, the other stretched out his hand towards the slightly opened window.Suddenly, after smelling a strange smell in his breath, Yue Qingfeng paused, and immediately closed the window in front of him as if nothing had happened.
Looking down at the dots of ashes on the smooth slate, Yue Qingfeng quickly walked towards his sandalwood canopy bed.
The red candle on the bronze candlestick in his hand swayed back and forth, and his shadow under the candlelight seemed to be ferocious.With an urgency in his heart, he put the candlestick directly on the bed, and Yue Qingfeng immediately stretched his hand under his pillow.
As soon as he got the dagger in his hand, Yue Qingfeng turned around immediately.
The candlelight on the bed flickered, and suddenly there was another person in the room.Looking up at the masked man in black standing not far away from him, Yue Qingfeng didn't dare to say: "Zhong-qian-de!" Live in vain.
Because of surprise and fear, Yue Qingfeng's voice sounded a little different from the past.
Not knowing where he showed his flaws, Zhong Qiande, who had been identified, stared at Yue Qingfeng who was only wearing red single clothes, and did not move for a while.
"Why? It's the emperor?" I thought a lot back and forth in my mind, and knew that although he was not a gentleman, he was not despicable enough to break into the lady's room at midnight.What's more, at this time, in this place, except for the order of Emperor Wu, Yue Qingfeng no longer dared to make other guesses.
Sighing softly, Zhong Qiande took a step forward.
His whole body became weak, his breathing became heavier and he gasped.Yue Qingfeng retreated feebly, and slid on the bed all at once.
"This dagger is not suitable for you." Sighing softly, Zhong Qiande stepped forward slowly and directly grabbed Yue Qingfeng's right hand.
He lifted the right hand holding the dagger little by little, anxiously knowing that he didn't have much strength anymore.Yue Qingfeng immediately let go, and then grabbed the downward dagger with his left hand and stabbed Zhong Qiande's waist and abdomen with his backhand.
Taking a breath, Zhong Qiande immediately stepped back.A long slit was made in the black clothes on the abdomen, and Yue Qingfeng looked at Yue Qingfeng who was already powerlessly lying on the bed.
Zhong Qiande bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground, and then approached it little by little.
"Zhong Qiande! Your Majesty, why is he?" Struggling to call his name, Yue Qingfeng calmly stretched out his hand to the bronze candlestick she had put on the bed just now.
But as soon as his hand touched the lower handle of the candlestick, Zhong Qiande leaned over and pressed her on her body.And her hand that was holding the candlestick tightly was also pressed by him on the bed and could not move.
"Zhong Qiande, I have treated you well, and this is how you repay me." After struggling in vain for a few times, Yue Qingfeng immediately questioned him.
Putting most of his body across Yue Qingfeng's body, he looked at the woman in red dress with three thousand black silk scattered under him.Zhong Qiande sighed again.
"Zhong Qiande! What exactly does the emperor want to do?" Knowing that he would take soft things rather than hard things, Yue Qingfeng asked bitterly in a low voice on purpose.
Pressing Yue Qingfeng's hands on top of her head, Zhong Qiande replied softly after a while: "The emperor sent you to Zhou Niexian, the uncle of the country, and let me send you there secretly tonight."
Zhong Qiande's voice was soft and calm, but to Yue Qingfeng, what he said was like thunder on the ground.
Eyes were red all of a sudden, Yue Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything: "How is it possible, I---"
She wanted to say that she was kind to Emperor Wu no matter what, she wanted to say that she fell in love with his sister, and he also promised to fulfill both of them.
But in the end, she couldn't say anything.
Xu Shi understood what she meant, Zhong Qiande lowered his head and said helplessly: "Silly girl, no matter how important you are, you can't be compared after the next week. And uncle Guo is the queen's younger brother. If he wants you, you run away." No. And you wouldn't be so naive as to think that there will be a real brother-sister relationship in the family this day, right? And just because the eldest princess holds a heavy army, she will always be a poisonous thorn in the heart of Emperor Wu. Get rid of her and defeat him. It's only a matter of time for her."
His face was pale, and he fixedly looked at the man leaning on him.Yue Qingfeng said in a low voice: "I don't know the queen's younger brother, what does the emperor want to do to Qiaoxin? I---"
Yue Qingfeng's body trembled, feeling her fear.Zhong Qiande suddenly said in a soft voice with no expression on his face: "Qingfeng, let me hug you? I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."
Yue Qingfeng, who had been trembling all night, finally shed tears after hearing these words.
With one hand, he firmly restrained Yue Qingfeng's hands, and with the other, he wrapped his arms around the waist of the person he liked.Zhong Qiande sighed in a low voice: "If you had allowed me to marry me back then, how could you have fallen into such a situation now?"
"But you will abandon me at any time, just like you still want to send me out now."
Yue Qingfeng lowered his eyes, feeling a rare frailty and helplessness.
Sighing secretly again, Zhong Qiande let go of Yue Qingfeng and immediately got up.But just when he was about to get up, Yue Qingfeng suddenly grabbed his right sleeve.
"Can I ask you one thing?" Without crying any more, Yue Qingfeng opened his mouth suddenly with reddened eyes holding back tears.
Zhong Qiande looked at her pale lips and shook his head as a matter of course.
"I have a jade pendant on my chest. It was left to me by my deceased mother. It is a token of my Yue family. Can you please find a way to hand it over to my grandfather. If you are worried about my conspiracy, you You can even choose to hand it over to him a few years later."
Zhong Qiande looked at Yue Qingfeng lying on the bed, without nodding or shaking his head.
"I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!" Yue Qingfeng watched him talking to himself, then struggled slowly, trying to take out the jade pendant.
Bending down and stretching out his left index finger, Zhong Qiande followed the red silk thread around Yue Qingfeng's neck and pulled out the jade pendant wrapped in the same color silk thread.Then he held it up to Yue Qingfeng and asked softly, "Is it this? How did you wrap it up?"
My mind was gloomy, my vision became more and more blurred, Yue Qingfeng softly expressed helplessness: "Grandfather and grandmother told me not to take it out easily. But I have always wanted to give it to the eldest princess with my own hands. I am afraid that-- - I was afraid that they would find out that they were blaming me, so I tied it tightly with a silk thread. I wanted to give it to her tomorrow, but if I really can't be with her, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble to give this thing? "
Zhong Qiande looked at Yue Qingfeng with an unclear look in his eyes, but Yue Qingfeng completely fainted after saying a low thank you.
Putting his lips to Yue Qingfeng's neck, he thought of Emperor Wu's order, and the rumors about his uncle.A trace of hesitation and reluctance flashed in Zhong Qiande's eyes, but then he immediately bent over and bit off the red silk thread around Yue Qingfeng's neck.
Yue Qingfeng, who was dressed in a red light shirt and covered with three thousand black silk, looked unusually peaceful and harmless at this moment.
Looking at the person he likes steadily, Zhong Qiande didn't realize it until now.It turns out that the impulsiveness and various calculations of the Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Jianyuan, after nearly two years of brooding and unable to let go, have long since become real, deeply rooted in the chest and heart.
Forced himself, he smiled again as if nothing had happened.Fumbled to put the small jade pendant on his chest close to his heart.Zhong Qiande lowered his body and hugged Yue Qingfeng on the bed tightly, then directly pushed down the bronze candlestick that Yue Qingfeng was holding in his hand just now.
The white brocade curtain on the canopy bed was suddenly lit up, watching the flames getting bigger and bigger.Zhong Qiande immediately hugged Yue Qingfeng on the bed and went straight out.
"My lord, why is it taking so long?" The guards who were waiting outside in the middle of the night rushed to welcome him when he came out.
Looking at him lightly, Zhong Qiande asked directly: "Where is the carriage?"
"Outside! My lord, let me come?" The subordinates came up.
Zhong Qiande shook his head and wanted to stop him, but he stopped suddenly, and at this moment, his subordinates hurried forward to take Yue Qingfeng in his arms.
"My lord, I will send her back safely. The next thing is up to my lord."
Gently closing his eyes, and tearing off the black mask that had been covering his face, Zhong Qiande said with a smile: "Go early and come back early, don't let people find out."
The subordinate nodded quickly, but Zhong Qiande turned around immediately, looking at Yue Qingfeng's increasingly bright bedroom.
On April 26th in the sixth year of Jianyuan, the Delirium Hall, which is the closest to the Xuanwu Hall, was suddenly hit by a fire.
Suddenly receiving this news in the middle of the night, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately hurried into the palace again.
"What's going on? Where's her?" Zhu Qiaoxin walked quickly, and Yun Zheng followed quickly and said, "The fire was burnt out from the Delirium Hall. Many people died, and many court ladies and officials were rescued. But still Mr. Yue was not found, nor was Qiu Ju."
Zhu Qiaoxin walked quickly with a large group of guards.Yun Zheng looked at her back, not knowing whether she was sad or sad for a moment, so he could only continue to follow.
When Zhu Qiaoxin arrived in front of the Delirium Hall, more than half of the entire Delirium Hall had been destroyed.Looking at the Hall of Delirium, which was more than half collapsed, and the other half was also on fire.Zhu Qiaoxin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
There was a lot of noise and wailing in front of the Delirium Hall, all the maids, eunuchs and guards hurriedly carried water to put out the fire.
The rescued maids and officials were all gathered together, while the dead or unidentified corpses were all gathered aside by the guards and immediately covered with straw mats.
Zhu Qiaoxin stood not far away and did not move. Seeing her from a distance, Zhong Qiande, who was dressed in the uniform of a general guard, immediately knelt down and said, "My minister sees the eldest princess, the princess is a thousand years old!"
"Where is she?" With a slightly strange look on her face, Zhu Qiaoxin actually stepped forward to help Zhong Qiande herself, and asked softly, "Where is Yue Qingfeng?"
With a sad look on his face, Zhong Qiande immediately said: "The most serious fire in the entire Delirium Palace is the bedroom of the greater master, and the greater the master has not been found until now, I am afraid—"
"How did the fire start? Where were the guards at the door when it caught fire? Why did you take so long to put it out?"
"The fire should have started from inside. The guards at the door are putting out the fire right now, and I will ask them about it later. As for why the fire has not been extinguished, please ask the princess to make amends. I have really tried my best."
After answering Zhu Qiaoxin's question, Zhong Qiande immediately asked for instructions and left.
After Zhong Qiande left, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately stretched out his hand to his chest.The jade pendant that moved slightly after Zhong Qiande approached just now, seemed to want to rush out of his clothes, finally stopped shaking at this moment.
Staring at Zhong Qiande's back, Zhu Qiaoxin had an urge to step forward and smash all the bones in Zhong Qiande himself.
"Princess?" Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Yun Zheng hurriedly moved closer and became worried.
"I gave the jade pendant to my sister!" Looking at him, Zhu Qiaoxin said softly as she pressed her jade pendant.
His face was blue and purple, and Yun Zheng didn't dare to say it: "Princess, that's not an ordinary jade pendant, it's your soldier talisman!"
"The thousand-year-old ice jade contains a thousand-year-old magnet. Among them, the mother's pendant is a hundred times more magnetic than the child's. As long as the two pendants are close to my body, the mother's pendant will respond, and it reacted very strongly just now!"
Zhu Qiaoxin said with a blank face, and Yun Zheng was stunned when she heard her words.
But when everyone in the palace was still rushing to put out the fire, Yun Xing, dressed in low-level guard uniform, walked out from one side and walked directly to the standing Princess Wei.
Seeing him getting closer, Zhu Qiaoxin finally showed nervousness for the first time.
Stepping forward quickly, Yun Xing knelt down and raised his head and said in a low voice: "Princess, the emperor gave Mr. Yue to Uncle Zhou Niexian. Now Mr. Yue is in the Binyun Pavilion of Uncle Guo's Mansion."
His eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he looked down at Yun Xing who was kneeling, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately turned around.
"Princess?" Yun Zheng quickly followed, followed by Yun Xing and all the guards.
"Send a letter to Yu Zhengyu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, saying that no matter what happens tonight, they will all pretend to be dead for me. If I find out that he really doesn't give me Zhu Qiaoxin's face, then there are three hundred members of his Jiangxi Yu family. If there is any accident, don't blame me, Zhu Qiaoxin, for not giving him face."
"Princess think twice! Yun Xing and I will bring Mr. Yue back safely." Yun Zheng hurriedly promised.
But Zhu Qiaoxin had never heard of it, only after finally leaving the palace.But she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Zheng and Yun Xing and said lightly: "Go and call Luo Heng back, let him hurry up."
"Princess!" Yun Zheng called again.
Zhu Qiaoxin only felt her temples on the forehead twitch suddenly, and stared at the gray leather whip in the hand of the groom next to the driver in front.Zhu Qiaoxin took a few steps forward and snatched it directly, then turned around and swung it down without warning.
The sound of "pop" was especially penetrating in the night.
Feeling pain on his face, Yun Zheng knelt down in a daze.
"What are you doing here if you're dead?" Zhu Qiaoxin roared, and Yun Xing glanced at his brother.He hurried out with a few of his men on horseback.
"Princess, calm down!"
The other guards who came out immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Yun Zheng just knelt straight and did not move.
After a few slaps on the head and face, the anger in Zhu Qiaoxin's heart finally subsided after a long time.
Throwing the whip in his hand on the expressionless Yun Zheng, Zhu Qiaoxin stepped on the kneeling groom and got into the carriage directly, and said lightly: "Yun Zheng is here to drive the carriage, I want to rush to the uncle's mansion before Choushi!"
"Nuo---" I didn't dare to say anything anymore, I endured the burning on my cheeks.Yun Zheng quickly picked up the whip on the ground and got into the carriage.
After Zhu Qiaoxin and his party left, the guards standing far away at the door immediately ran into the palace.
"My lord, the guards at the gate don't dare to get too close. I just saw that the princess had just whipped her personal guard several times, and then left in a hurry. It seems that there is something urgent. Do you want to send someone to follow and see what the princess wants to do?" What?"
Looking at his subordinates, he remembered that a year ago, he had just privately asked a few guards to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the princess.As a result, Emperor Wu was furious. After thinking about it, Zhong Qiande said cautiously: "I'm going to ask the emperor to tell the princess about the abnormality. As for what to do, let the emperor make up his own mind."
The author has something to say: Post it first so that everyone can see it quickly, and I will correct the typos o(n_n)o~ after I finish lunch.
ps: Thank you Rabbit for your innocence and Mr. Yunzhong for throwing mines to me, I love you guys so much!
Chapter 32
Zhong Qiande immediately went to see Emperor Wu, Xu understood the seriousness of the matter, so even though it was late at night, Zhong Qiande was called in immediately.
In the gloomy and dimly lit Xuanwu Hall, Zhong Qiande in white armor knelt before the disheveled Emperor Wu in a dragon robe.After talking about Princess Jiang's abnormal behavior in front of the delirium hall and the palace gate, Emperor Wu was silent for a long time and finally said quietly: "You take people there yourself, don't shy away. If the princess asks, just say that I don't care about her!"
When Zhong Qiande heard the words, he quickly bowed his head and agreed.
Looking at him, Emperor Wu couldn't help but confirm again: "What happened tonight hasn't been leaked, has it?"
Zhong Qiande quickly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Wu, knelt down and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the maid who the princess stayed with the Lord Yue, I will solve it immediately. And all the people who act tonight are the cronies of the minister, so There will be no problems."
Emperor Wu nodded, and then waved his hands to let Zhong Qiande go out.
After Zhong Qiande went out, Emperor Wu paused for a while before returning to his bedroom.
He was afraid of waking Zhou Hou up, so when he went out just now, he never asked someone to light a lamp inside.
"emperor!"
The newly appointed young eunuch came over, and Emperor Wu shook his head.Then he personally took the candle from the little eunuch's hand, and walked in slowly with light steps.
I always feel a little uneasy, so it is rare for Emperor Wu to fall asleep.
Just when Emperor Wu was holding Zhou Hou in his arms, Zhu Qiaoxin had already rushed to the uncle's mansion not far away with his troops.
The uncle's mansion is not far from Zhu Qiaoxin's mansion in Yancheng, and this place belongs to the inner circle of Yancheng.
In fact, all the courtyards and mansions around are lived in by some relatives of the emperor and dignitaries, and it is precisely because of the particularity of this place.That's why the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Yancheng specially sent extra manpower here during the curfew to avoid any accidents.
Because the order was received in advance, the Jingwei who protected this place could only watch the princess's Luanjia, and then a large number of cavalry in black armor surrounded the entire uncle's mansion.
It is impossible for Zhou Mansion not to know about such a big situation outside.
When the old butler heard the movement, he immediately sent someone to report, and he also ran out in a hurry.
The vermilion lacquered door had just been opened from the inside, and after seeing the situation outside clearly, the aged butler immediately softened his feet.
The servant under his command hurriedly supported him, with a look of fear on his face.After trying to stand still, wait until you can clearly see the people in the carriage in front of you.The old butler was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The old servant Zhou Mansion Zhouzhuang is participating in His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, a thousand years old!"
"Participate, Your Royal Highness, the princess is a thousand years old!" The people behind him also quickly knelt down.
"Go and ask Zhou Nie to come out, and tell him that if he hands him over at this moment, I will forget the past!"
Zhu Qiaoxin in the carriage immediately opened the curtain and poked her head out. At this moment, the soldiers around her carriage were all holding torches.Under the firelight, the old housekeeper couldn't see her expression clearly for a while, but when he heard her voice, he immediately called out to Qu: "Princess, please ask Ming Jian, there is no important person in my Zhou residence."
Zhu Qiaoxin saw that he didn't make a sound, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Just when the old housekeeper's heart tightened, he wondered if he had said something wrong.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly sneered.
In the middle of the night, Zhu Qiaoxin's sudden sneer startled Yun Zheng in the carriage.At this moment, Yun Xing and Princess Luo Heng, who were slowly approaching, also froze for a moment and peeped at each other.
"Okay, okay! What a great uncle Zhou Nieyu actually thinks that I, Zhu Qiaoxin, are nothing but paper!"
In my impression, Princess Wei has always been sweet and delicate, even a few years ago she was so angry that she directly castrated Zhou Niexian.But everyone only thought that she was really drunk at that time, and made such a move in a moment of drunkenness.
But now, listening to Zhu Qiaoxin's sinister voice, even Luo Heng, who had been on the battlefield, broke out in a cold sweat.
"Princess calm down, this old slave--"
The old butler hurriedly squeezed out his voice, but at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin sneered: "Search for me, if you can't find it, then catch everyone in it, and catch all of them."
Yun Xing and Luo Heng glanced at each other, and then immediately ordered someone to rush in.
As soon as they entered the Zhou Mansion, the entire Zhou Mansion was brightly lit, and there were constant wailing and scolding voices coming from inside.
As time passed, Zhu Qiaoxin's expression became more and more ugly while sitting in the carriage.
People kept pushing out from inside, and hearing the cries and cries outside, Zhu Qiaoxin pressed harder and harder on the jade pendant on his chest.
"Princess!"
Zhu Qiaoxin was silent in the carriage, Yun Zheng suddenly realized that her reaction while waiting in the carriage was a bit abnormal and quickly opened the curtain.
A pair of blood-colored eyes came into view, and his mind went blank for a while, Yun Zheng stared blankly at Zhu Qiaoxin without moving for a long time.
"Ha ha ha ha----"
Zhang Zhang's wild laughter suddenly came in from outside, Yun Zheng finally recovered his senses and turned his head quickly.
But at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin heard the laughter, but stiffly looked out of the curtain he opened.
Dressed in a red brocade robe, he ignored everyone around him.With loose hair, Zhou Niexian twisted her face and laughed loudly: "You are late, haha, haha, Zhu Qiaoxin, you are late!"
"You are late! You are late! You are late!! You are late!!!" Zhu Qiaoxin's ears were filled with these words like a curse.
Looking at Zhou Niexian's eyes became redder and redder, and finally Zhu Qiaoxin got out of the carriage slowly, and Yun Zheng hurried to help her up.
Leaning on Yunzheng and getting out of the carriage, Zhu Qiaoxin staggered as if she had lost her soul and walked slowly towards the laughing Zhou Niexian.
Zhou Niexian was still laughing, and his family was being escorted out by the imperial army.But he didn't seem to see anything, just laughed wildly.
Step by step forward, the cold wind blowing in the night seems to be unable to stand.After finally walking through those few steps, Zhou Niexian and Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the laughing Zhou Niexian and said softly, "You—what did you say is late?"
Zhu Qiaoxin's voice trembled unconsciously, and she suddenly stopped laughing.Zhou Niexian sarcastically said softly: "So you will have this time too, so you will also be afraid!"
"Why is it late?" Zhu Qiaoxin asked again, her voice still inaudible.
Looking down at Zhu Qiaoxin standing under the steps as if she could be blown away by the strong wind, Zhou Niexian laughed loudly and said: "This is retribution, this is what you Zhu Qiaoxin owes me, what you owe me is retribution!!"
"Tell me, what happened to her?" Zhu Qiaoxin spoke again.
Looking down at the delicate and weak Princess Wei in front of her, Zhou Niexian leaned closer and said coldly: "Since the second year of Jianyuan, I have been looking forward to today every day and night. What do you think I will do to her? Haha It's ridiculous, ridiculous, really ridiculous!"
"Where is she? Where is Yue Qingfeng? What did you do to her?" Zhu Qiaoxin slowly raised her head and took a step forward.
Taking a step back unconsciously, Zhou Niexian said loudly and madly: "That's the expression, that's the expression. Why do you want to stab me again? What can you do to me today? Why did the emperor kill people today? You don’t know the meaning of sending it to me, do you? If you dare to touch me, do you think the emperor will help you or protect me this time.”
Zhou Niexian was still mad, but this time Zhu Qiaoxin didn't make a sound.
Feeling a little strange, Zhou Niexian slowly stopped laughing.But at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin approached a little bit.
"you----"
Even though they were standing together, although Zhou Niexian was thin, he was definitely taller than Zhu Qiaoxin who was a woman.But at this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Niexian trembled unconsciously.
"I'll tell you Zhu Qiaoxin, if you--"
The strong wind blew away Zhu Qiaoxin's wide sleeves, and the purple sleeves were shining with silver.
Yun Zheng was startled and hurried forward, but at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin and Zhou Nieyu had already changed directions.
Standing on the steps, looking at the weapon in Zhu Qiaoxin's hand, Zhou Niexian hurriedly looked to the left and right: "Come here---"
Looking at him blankly, just as Yun Zheng ran forward, Zhou Niexian panicked.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly let go.
With a bang, Yun Zheng stopped, Zhou Nie paused for a moment, and then showed a smug smile.
But just when he raised the corners of his lips, Zhu Qiaoxin stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
Looking at her blankly, Zhou Nie froze.At the same time, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly exerted force, and the next moment Zhou Nexian rolled down under the eyes of everyone.
"Princess!"
"Master!"
His body was icy cold, Yun Zheng could only watch helplessly as Uncle Zhou Guo in red robe rolled down in front of him.
The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion quickly ran towards Zhou Niexian.
After thirteen stone steps, Zhou Zhuang immediately hugged Zhou Niexian, who was biting his lips, and cried loudly: "Princess, calm down, my Zhou family is only a young master!"
"Princess think twice!" Yun Zheng quickly persuaded.
Ignoring him, Zhu Qiaoxin went down step by step, then looked down at Zhou Nexian again and asked, "Where is she?"
"Oh, I, I told you that you are late." Zhou Niexian said with a smile even though the pain in his body seemed not to be his own.
"Hehe!" With a smile, he cast a look at a black-clothed guard closest to her.
After the other party pulled away the housekeeper of the Zhou residence who was in the way, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly approached again and asked: "To be honest, I will spare you if I tell you the truth."
Hugging her arms aching all over, Zhou Niexian fell silent with unkind eyes.
Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly raised her right hand and covered her forehead with her arm. Seeing her like this, Zhou Nexian immediately shrank her eyes but remained silent.
"Princess, calm down!" Zhong Qiande, who came in a hurry, finally squeezed in and knelt down: "Princess, please spare the uncle for the sake of the emperor and queen. No matter what he does wrong, he will be punished by the law of the state. The princess must not take it seriously." Treating the laws of the country as child's play!"
"National law?"
Zhu Qiaoxin covered her forehead with her right hand and lowered her head, unable to see what she was thinking for a while.Zhong Qiande could only persuade: "The princess and the uncle may have some misunderstanding, so please stop the princess, we can ask the emperor to make a clear decision. Your forbidden army cannot enter Yancheng, otherwise it will be a serious crime, please follow the princess Da Zhou's laws act—"
Zhong Qiande was still chattering, Zhou Niexian on the ground smiled again.
But when she happened to see his smile, Zhu Qiaoxin's mind called rationality suddenly broke.
Zhu Qiaoxin kicked it directly, Zhong Qiande was stunned, Zhou Niexian let out a muffled snort.
The next moment, Zhu Qiaoxin kicked Zhou Niexian's face expressionlessly: "Laugh? Laugh, laugh! So what about the emperor, you have to see what he can do to me! Where's my sister? Where's my sister! Speak, I Tell you to talk. You are all slaves of my Zhu family, and they dare to make me unhappy again and again. What about my sister? Say! Say, say! Say! Did you hear me when I asked you to speak? I ordered you to speak to me!"
Zhu Qiaoxin kicked every time she said a word, and the sound of bumping resounded in the night.This time Yun Zheng finally stepped forward, knelt down and hugged Zhu Qiaoxin's leg that had been kicking downward.
"Master?" Yun Zheng's voice was full of disbelief.
When everyone was stunned, Zhong Qiande quickly reacted and hugged Zhou Niexian who was on the ground.
At this moment, Zhou Niexian's face was bloody and bloody, and he looked back at the blood stains on his right foot in a daze. Zhu Qiaoxin lowered his head and asked softly again: "Where is Yue Qingfeng?"
Zhou Niexian seemed to have fainted, and leaned on Zhong Qiande without saying a word.Zhong Qiande also quickly protected him.
Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her head and rubbed her toes, just as Yun Xing and Luo Heng came out.Seeing them returning empty-handed, he sneered lightly.Zhu Qiaoxin said softly, "Drag all the four to six-year-old children out of this mansion."
Everyone was stunned, and Yun Xingdeling immediately walked towards the two children who were surrounded by the crowd just now.
"Zhu Qiaoxin, you are simply inhuman!" Zhou Nie slowly stood up, her voice trembling in a leisurely manner.
Ignoring the others, Zhu Qiaoxin said loudly: "Drag it out!"
Yun Xing was startled, and immediately went to pull people.
"My lord, please don't touch my child, princess, please, young master, young master, please, young master, please."
A young woman dressed as a wife stopped in front and began to cry, and the old housekeeper, Zhou Zhuang, was also pale.
"Didn't you always say that I made your Zhou family disappear? Then what are these two? There are a lot of wives and concubines at a young age, and they dare to be affectionate towards me, and dare to put on a copy of the palace. How you look. Didn’t you tell me that you were late just now? Then I will show you what it means to be really late!"
Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly laughed coquettishly, Yun Xing had already pulled the two brocade-clothed children out.
The two children were pretty well-behaved at first, but they cried immediately after being pulled away from their mother.
Continuing to laugh, Zhu Qiaoxin walked over to the two children directly: "Come here, is your name Zhou Ziqing, Zhou Ziyu, right? Look, it's only been a few years, I almost forgot what your names are."
The two children were gifts from the old man after he was deposed by Zhu Qiaoxin.Although their mother was only his maid, Zhou Niexian still carefully protected her.
At that time, Zhu Qiaoxin's reaction was too strong, so he didn't dare to let them recognize their ancestors.Gradually, as time passed, he deliberately concealed the existence of the child.So that the emperor and everyone felt that she owed them the Zhou family, but he never dreamed that Zhu Qiaoxin not only knew the existence of the two of them, but also knew their names.
Zhu Qiaoxin, who was walking towards the two children step by step in the dark, was delicate and weak, and gave a wry smile.The moment Zhu Qiaoxin bent down and was about to touch the two children, Zhou Niexian suddenly shouted excitedly: "Zhu Qiaoxin, you won, you won. Remember it to me. I will never let you go. I will never let you go. I won't let you go, you will remember it, Zhu Qiaoxin!"
Squatting in front of the two children, Zhu Qiaoxin remained expressionless and did not move.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Niexian said softly: "The Jingxin Lake behind the Binyun Pavilion!"
The hand that had been clenched into a fist finally moved, and Zhu Qiaoxin quickly got up and ran directly into Zhou's mansion.
Nothing in the Zhou Mansion has changed, Zhu Qiaoxin, who ran inward in a hurry, almost fell down.
"Princess!"
Yun Zheng and Yun Xing hurriedly followed.
Hurriedly holding onto the stone corridor beside her, Zhu Qiaoxin ran in desperately.
There was a blank in her mind, at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin seemed to only know how to run forward.
Corridors one by one, corners one by one, Zhu Qiaoxin felt that he had spent a long time on the short journey.
Finally, after passing through the Binyun Pavilion and arriving at Jingxin Lake, which was brightly illuminated by the night, Zhu Qiaoxin finally calmed down.
"elder sister!"
Zhu Qiaoxin looked around and checked.
Yun Xing and Yun Zheng led people to follow, and quickly checked the surroundings.
"Sister!" Zhu Qiaoxin hurried up to the pavilion in the lake, and Zhu Qiaoxin's voice became lower and lower.
"The bigger the man! The bigger the man!" Yun Xing called out loudly, but only his own echoes responded to him.
Yun Xing and Yun Zheng led the people, and hurriedly searched for it in the surrounding gardens and grass forests.
Looking at the empty pavilion, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly wondered if she had been cheated.
A pair of eyes were full of panic, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly yelled: "Come out and give me your voice."
There was still no sound around, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the ridiculously large Jingxin Lake, and said angrily: "Bring Zhou Niexian here!"
Suddenly realizing it, Yun Xing hurried out to find Zhou Niexian.
"Master, don't worry!" Yun Zheng's voice came from one side.
Zhu Qiaoxin had never heard of it, so she just said loudly: "Sister, Yue Qingfeng, come out!"
Realizing that her voice was wrong, Yun Zheng hurried over.
"The clearer the wind, come out for me, come out, the clearer the wind."
Zhu Qiaoxin was still yelling, but when Yun Zheng approached, she suddenly knelt down on the stone pavilion and yelled loudly: "Ahhhh."
"..." Yun Zheng and everyone who was just behind him were stunned.
"Zhu Shoujiang, I hate you, Zhu Shoujiang, I hate you, I will kill you, Zhu Shoujiang, you are not worthy to be an older brother, I will kill you."
"Princess be careful!" Yun Zheng quickly knelt down.
"Yunzheng, I'm sad, I'm sad!" Clutching her collar tightly, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the front and whispered: "He promised his father and queen mother to take care of me, he promised them, how could he do this. He I said that my sister and I will be fulfilled, and even today I still think that I, Zhu Qiaoxin, are living a very good life. Some people are hurting, some people are loving, but why everything has changed all of a sudden."
"Princess!" Yun Zheng stepped forward gently.
"He can not hurt me, he can guard against me. But why does he even take away the only thing I want now, Yueqingfeng her, she and I worshiped, how could he do this!"
"Princess!" At the moment of lack of words, Yun Zheng just looked at his master and secretly felt distressed.
"elder sister---"
Yun Zheng thought she was still worried, so he quickly reached out and touched Zhu Qiaoxin's back: "Princess, wait a minute, wait---"
"Sister! Sister!!" Suddenly pointing forward, Zhu Qiaoxin ran along the wooden corridor.
The raised hand froze in mid-air, following the direction Zhu Qiaoxin pointed just now.Looking at the small boat swaying with the waves in the middle of the lake, Yun Zheng lowered his head and showed an extremely bitter smile.
"Sister, sister!" Running forward in a hurry, looking at the boat in Jingxin Lake,
Originally, I wanted to wake Qiu Ju up, but when I thought about it, I didn't feel sleepy for a while.Simply Yue Qingfeng got up, held the lamp in person and walked towards the window.
Holding the lamp in one hand, the other stretched out his hand towards the slightly opened window.Suddenly, after smelling a strange smell in his breath, Yue Qingfeng paused, and immediately closed the window in front of him as if nothing had happened.
Looking down at the dots of ashes on the smooth slate, Yue Qingfeng quickly walked towards his sandalwood canopy bed.
The red candle on the bronze candlestick in his hand swayed back and forth, and his shadow under the candlelight seemed to be ferocious.With an urgency in his heart, he put the candlestick directly on the bed, and Yue Qingfeng immediately stretched his hand under his pillow.
As soon as he got the dagger in his hand, Yue Qingfeng turned around immediately.
The candlelight on the bed flickered, and suddenly there was another person in the room.Looking up at the masked man in black standing not far away from him, Yue Qingfeng didn't dare to say: "Zhong-qian-de!" Live in vain.
Because of surprise and fear, Yue Qingfeng's voice sounded a little different from the past.
Not knowing where he showed his flaws, Zhong Qiande, who had been identified, stared at Yue Qingfeng who was only wearing red single clothes, and did not move for a while.
"Why? It's the emperor?" I thought a lot back and forth in my mind, and knew that although he was not a gentleman, he was not despicable enough to break into the lady's room at midnight.What's more, at this time, in this place, except for the order of Emperor Wu, Yue Qingfeng no longer dared to make other guesses.
Sighing softly, Zhong Qiande took a step forward.
His whole body became weak, his breathing became heavier and he gasped.Yue Qingfeng retreated feebly, and slid on the bed all at once.
"This dagger is not suitable for you." Sighing softly, Zhong Qiande stepped forward slowly and directly grabbed Yue Qingfeng's right hand.
He lifted the right hand holding the dagger little by little, anxiously knowing that he didn't have much strength anymore.Yue Qingfeng immediately let go, and then grabbed the downward dagger with his left hand and stabbed Zhong Qiande's waist and abdomen with his backhand.
Taking a breath, Zhong Qiande immediately stepped back.A long slit was made in the black clothes on the abdomen, and Yue Qingfeng looked at Yue Qingfeng who was already powerlessly lying on the bed.
Zhong Qiande bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground, and then approached it little by little.
"Zhong Qiande! Your Majesty, why is he?" Struggling to call his name, Yue Qingfeng calmly stretched out his hand to the bronze candlestick she had put on the bed just now.
But as soon as his hand touched the lower handle of the candlestick, Zhong Qiande leaned over and pressed her on her body.And her hand that was holding the candlestick tightly was also pressed by him on the bed and could not move.
"Zhong Qiande, I have treated you well, and this is how you repay me." After struggling in vain for a few times, Yue Qingfeng immediately questioned him.
Putting most of his body across Yue Qingfeng's body, he looked at the woman in red dress with three thousand black silk scattered under him.Zhong Qiande sighed again.
"Zhong Qiande! What exactly does the emperor want to do?" Knowing that he would take soft things rather than hard things, Yue Qingfeng asked bitterly in a low voice on purpose.
Pressing Yue Qingfeng's hands on top of her head, Zhong Qiande replied softly after a while: "The emperor sent you to Zhou Niexian, the uncle of the country, and let me send you there secretly tonight."
Zhong Qiande's voice was soft and calm, but to Yue Qingfeng, what he said was like thunder on the ground.
Eyes were red all of a sudden, Yue Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything: "How is it possible, I---"
She wanted to say that she was kind to Emperor Wu no matter what, she wanted to say that she fell in love with his sister, and he also promised to fulfill both of them.
But in the end, she couldn't say anything.
Xu Shi understood what she meant, Zhong Qiande lowered his head and said helplessly: "Silly girl, no matter how important you are, you can't be compared after the next week. And uncle Guo is the queen's younger brother. If he wants you, you run away." No. And you wouldn't be so naive as to think that there will be a real brother-sister relationship in the family this day, right? And just because the eldest princess holds a heavy army, she will always be a poisonous thorn in the heart of Emperor Wu. Get rid of her and defeat him. It's only a matter of time for her."
His face was pale, and he fixedly looked at the man leaning on him.Yue Qingfeng said in a low voice: "I don't know the queen's younger brother, what does the emperor want to do to Qiaoxin? I---"
Yue Qingfeng's body trembled, feeling her fear.Zhong Qiande suddenly said in a soft voice with no expression on his face: "Qingfeng, let me hug you? I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."
Yue Qingfeng, who had been trembling all night, finally shed tears after hearing these words.
With one hand, he firmly restrained Yue Qingfeng's hands, and with the other, he wrapped his arms around the waist of the person he liked.Zhong Qiande sighed in a low voice: "If you had allowed me to marry me back then, how could you have fallen into such a situation now?"
"But you will abandon me at any time, just like you still want to send me out now."
Yue Qingfeng lowered his eyes, feeling a rare frailty and helplessness.
Sighing secretly again, Zhong Qiande let go of Yue Qingfeng and immediately got up.But just when he was about to get up, Yue Qingfeng suddenly grabbed his right sleeve.
"Can I ask you one thing?" Without crying any more, Yue Qingfeng opened his mouth suddenly with reddened eyes holding back tears.
Zhong Qiande looked at her pale lips and shook his head as a matter of course.
"I have a jade pendant on my chest. It was left to me by my deceased mother. It is a token of my Yue family. Can you please find a way to hand it over to my grandfather. If you are worried about my conspiracy, you You can even choose to hand it over to him a few years later."
Zhong Qiande looked at Yue Qingfeng lying on the bed, without nodding or shaking his head.
"I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!" Yue Qingfeng watched him talking to himself, then struggled slowly, trying to take out the jade pendant.
Bending down and stretching out his left index finger, Zhong Qiande followed the red silk thread around Yue Qingfeng's neck and pulled out the jade pendant wrapped in the same color silk thread.Then he held it up to Yue Qingfeng and asked softly, "Is it this? How did you wrap it up?"
My mind was gloomy, my vision became more and more blurred, Yue Qingfeng softly expressed helplessness: "Grandfather and grandmother told me not to take it out easily. But I have always wanted to give it to the eldest princess with my own hands. I am afraid that-- - I was afraid that they would find out that they were blaming me, so I tied it tightly with a silk thread. I wanted to give it to her tomorrow, but if I really can't be with her, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble to give this thing? "
Zhong Qiande looked at Yue Qingfeng with an unclear look in his eyes, but Yue Qingfeng completely fainted after saying a low thank you.
Putting his lips to Yue Qingfeng's neck, he thought of Emperor Wu's order, and the rumors about his uncle.A trace of hesitation and reluctance flashed in Zhong Qiande's eyes, but then he immediately bent over and bit off the red silk thread around Yue Qingfeng's neck.
Yue Qingfeng, who was dressed in a red light shirt and covered with three thousand black silk, looked unusually peaceful and harmless at this moment.
Looking at the person he likes steadily, Zhong Qiande didn't realize it until now.It turns out that the impulsiveness and various calculations of the Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Jianyuan, after nearly two years of brooding and unable to let go, have long since become real, deeply rooted in the chest and heart.
Forced himself, he smiled again as if nothing had happened.Fumbled to put the small jade pendant on his chest close to his heart.Zhong Qiande lowered his body and hugged Yue Qingfeng on the bed tightly, then directly pushed down the bronze candlestick that Yue Qingfeng was holding in his hand just now.
The white brocade curtain on the canopy bed was suddenly lit up, watching the flames getting bigger and bigger.Zhong Qiande immediately hugged Yue Qingfeng on the bed and went straight out.
"My lord, why is it taking so long?" The guards who were waiting outside in the middle of the night rushed to welcome him when he came out.
Looking at him lightly, Zhong Qiande asked directly: "Where is the carriage?"
"Outside! My lord, let me come?" The subordinates came up.
Zhong Qiande shook his head and wanted to stop him, but he stopped suddenly, and at this moment, his subordinates hurried forward to take Yue Qingfeng in his arms.
"My lord, I will send her back safely. The next thing is up to my lord."
Gently closing his eyes, and tearing off the black mask that had been covering his face, Zhong Qiande said with a smile: "Go early and come back early, don't let people find out."
The subordinate nodded quickly, but Zhong Qiande turned around immediately, looking at Yue Qingfeng's increasingly bright bedroom.
On April 26th in the sixth year of Jianyuan, the Delirium Hall, which is the closest to the Xuanwu Hall, was suddenly hit by a fire.
Suddenly receiving this news in the middle of the night, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately hurried into the palace again.
"What's going on? Where's her?" Zhu Qiaoxin walked quickly, and Yun Zheng followed quickly and said, "The fire was burnt out from the Delirium Hall. Many people died, and many court ladies and officials were rescued. But still Mr. Yue was not found, nor was Qiu Ju."
Zhu Qiaoxin walked quickly with a large group of guards.Yun Zheng looked at her back, not knowing whether she was sad or sad for a moment, so he could only continue to follow.
When Zhu Qiaoxin arrived in front of the Delirium Hall, more than half of the entire Delirium Hall had been destroyed.Looking at the Hall of Delirium, which was more than half collapsed, and the other half was also on fire.Zhu Qiaoxin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
There was a lot of noise and wailing in front of the Delirium Hall, all the maids, eunuchs and guards hurriedly carried water to put out the fire.
The rescued maids and officials were all gathered together, while the dead or unidentified corpses were all gathered aside by the guards and immediately covered with straw mats.
Zhu Qiaoxin stood not far away and did not move. Seeing her from a distance, Zhong Qiande, who was dressed in the uniform of a general guard, immediately knelt down and said, "My minister sees the eldest princess, the princess is a thousand years old!"
"Where is she?" With a slightly strange look on her face, Zhu Qiaoxin actually stepped forward to help Zhong Qiande herself, and asked softly, "Where is Yue Qingfeng?"
With a sad look on his face, Zhong Qiande immediately said: "The most serious fire in the entire Delirium Palace is the bedroom of the greater master, and the greater the master has not been found until now, I am afraid—"
"How did the fire start? Where were the guards at the door when it caught fire? Why did you take so long to put it out?"
"The fire should have started from inside. The guards at the door are putting out the fire right now, and I will ask them about it later. As for why the fire has not been extinguished, please ask the princess to make amends. I have really tried my best."
After answering Zhu Qiaoxin's question, Zhong Qiande immediately asked for instructions and left.
After Zhong Qiande left, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately stretched out his hand to his chest.The jade pendant that moved slightly after Zhong Qiande approached just now, seemed to want to rush out of his clothes, finally stopped shaking at this moment.
Staring at Zhong Qiande's back, Zhu Qiaoxin had an urge to step forward and smash all the bones in Zhong Qiande himself.
"Princess?" Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Yun Zheng hurriedly moved closer and became worried.
"I gave the jade pendant to my sister!" Looking at him, Zhu Qiaoxin said softly as she pressed her jade pendant.
His face was blue and purple, and Yun Zheng didn't dare to say it: "Princess, that's not an ordinary jade pendant, it's your soldier talisman!"
"The thousand-year-old ice jade contains a thousand-year-old magnet. Among them, the mother's pendant is a hundred times more magnetic than the child's. As long as the two pendants are close to my body, the mother's pendant will respond, and it reacted very strongly just now!"
Zhu Qiaoxin said with a blank face, and Yun Zheng was stunned when she heard her words.
But when everyone in the palace was still rushing to put out the fire, Yun Xing, dressed in low-level guard uniform, walked out from one side and walked directly to the standing Princess Wei.
Seeing him getting closer, Zhu Qiaoxin finally showed nervousness for the first time.
Stepping forward quickly, Yun Xing knelt down and raised his head and said in a low voice: "Princess, the emperor gave Mr. Yue to Uncle Zhou Niexian. Now Mr. Yue is in the Binyun Pavilion of Uncle Guo's Mansion."
His eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he looked down at Yun Xing who was kneeling, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately turned around.
"Princess?" Yun Zheng quickly followed, followed by Yun Xing and all the guards.
"Send a letter to Yu Zhengyu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, saying that no matter what happens tonight, they will all pretend to be dead for me. If I find out that he really doesn't give me Zhu Qiaoxin's face, then there are three hundred members of his Jiangxi Yu family. If there is any accident, don't blame me, Zhu Qiaoxin, for not giving him face."
"Princess think twice! Yun Xing and I will bring Mr. Yue back safely." Yun Zheng hurriedly promised.
But Zhu Qiaoxin had never heard of it, only after finally leaving the palace.But she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Zheng and Yun Xing and said lightly: "Go and call Luo Heng back, let him hurry up."
"Princess!" Yun Zheng called again.
Zhu Qiaoxin only felt her temples on the forehead twitch suddenly, and stared at the gray leather whip in the hand of the groom next to the driver in front.Zhu Qiaoxin took a few steps forward and snatched it directly, then turned around and swung it down without warning.
The sound of "pop" was especially penetrating in the night.
Feeling pain on his face, Yun Zheng knelt down in a daze.
"What are you doing here if you're dead?" Zhu Qiaoxin roared, and Yun Xing glanced at his brother.He hurried out with a few of his men on horseback.
"Princess, calm down!"
The other guards who came out immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Yun Zheng just knelt straight and did not move.
After a few slaps on the head and face, the anger in Zhu Qiaoxin's heart finally subsided after a long time.
Throwing the whip in his hand on the expressionless Yun Zheng, Zhu Qiaoxin stepped on the kneeling groom and got into the carriage directly, and said lightly: "Yun Zheng is here to drive the carriage, I want to rush to the uncle's mansion before Choushi!"
"Nuo---" I didn't dare to say anything anymore, I endured the burning on my cheeks.Yun Zheng quickly picked up the whip on the ground and got into the carriage.
After Zhu Qiaoxin and his party left, the guards standing far away at the door immediately ran into the palace.
"My lord, the guards at the gate don't dare to get too close. I just saw that the princess had just whipped her personal guard several times, and then left in a hurry. It seems that there is something urgent. Do you want to send someone to follow and see what the princess wants to do?" What?"
Looking at his subordinates, he remembered that a year ago, he had just privately asked a few guards to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the princess.As a result, Emperor Wu was furious. After thinking about it, Zhong Qiande said cautiously: "I'm going to ask the emperor to tell the princess about the abnormality. As for what to do, let the emperor make up his own mind."
The author has something to say: Post it first so that everyone can see it quickly, and I will correct the typos o(n_n)o~ after I finish lunch.
ps: Thank you Rabbit for your innocence and Mr. Yunzhong for throwing mines to me, I love you guys so much!
Chapter 32
Zhong Qiande immediately went to see Emperor Wu, Xu understood the seriousness of the matter, so even though it was late at night, Zhong Qiande was called in immediately.
In the gloomy and dimly lit Xuanwu Hall, Zhong Qiande in white armor knelt before the disheveled Emperor Wu in a dragon robe.After talking about Princess Jiang's abnormal behavior in front of the delirium hall and the palace gate, Emperor Wu was silent for a long time and finally said quietly: "You take people there yourself, don't shy away. If the princess asks, just say that I don't care about her!"
When Zhong Qiande heard the words, he quickly bowed his head and agreed.
Looking at him, Emperor Wu couldn't help but confirm again: "What happened tonight hasn't been leaked, has it?"
Zhong Qiande quickly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Wu, knelt down and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the maid who the princess stayed with the Lord Yue, I will solve it immediately. And all the people who act tonight are the cronies of the minister, so There will be no problems."
Emperor Wu nodded, and then waved his hands to let Zhong Qiande go out.
After Zhong Qiande went out, Emperor Wu paused for a while before returning to his bedroom.
He was afraid of waking Zhou Hou up, so when he went out just now, he never asked someone to light a lamp inside.
"emperor!"
The newly appointed young eunuch came over, and Emperor Wu shook his head.Then he personally took the candle from the little eunuch's hand, and walked in slowly with light steps.
I always feel a little uneasy, so it is rare for Emperor Wu to fall asleep.
Just when Emperor Wu was holding Zhou Hou in his arms, Zhu Qiaoxin had already rushed to the uncle's mansion not far away with his troops.
The uncle's mansion is not far from Zhu Qiaoxin's mansion in Yancheng, and this place belongs to the inner circle of Yancheng.
In fact, all the courtyards and mansions around are lived in by some relatives of the emperor and dignitaries, and it is precisely because of the particularity of this place.That's why the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Yancheng specially sent extra manpower here during the curfew to avoid any accidents.
Because the order was received in advance, the Jingwei who protected this place could only watch the princess's Luanjia, and then a large number of cavalry in black armor surrounded the entire uncle's mansion.
It is impossible for Zhou Mansion not to know about such a big situation outside.
When the old butler heard the movement, he immediately sent someone to report, and he also ran out in a hurry.
The vermilion lacquered door had just been opened from the inside, and after seeing the situation outside clearly, the aged butler immediately softened his feet.
The servant under his command hurriedly supported him, with a look of fear on his face.After trying to stand still, wait until you can clearly see the people in the carriage in front of you.The old butler was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The old servant Zhou Mansion Zhouzhuang is participating in His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, a thousand years old!"
"Participate, Your Royal Highness, the princess is a thousand years old!" The people behind him also quickly knelt down.
"Go and ask Zhou Nie to come out, and tell him that if he hands him over at this moment, I will forget the past!"
Zhu Qiaoxin in the carriage immediately opened the curtain and poked her head out. At this moment, the soldiers around her carriage were all holding torches.Under the firelight, the old housekeeper couldn't see her expression clearly for a while, but when he heard her voice, he immediately called out to Qu: "Princess, please ask Ming Jian, there is no important person in my Zhou residence."
Zhu Qiaoxin saw that he didn't make a sound, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Just when the old housekeeper's heart tightened, he wondered if he had said something wrong.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly sneered.
In the middle of the night, Zhu Qiaoxin's sudden sneer startled Yun Zheng in the carriage.At this moment, Yun Xing and Princess Luo Heng, who were slowly approaching, also froze for a moment and peeped at each other.
"Okay, okay! What a great uncle Zhou Nieyu actually thinks that I, Zhu Qiaoxin, are nothing but paper!"
In my impression, Princess Wei has always been sweet and delicate, even a few years ago she was so angry that she directly castrated Zhou Niexian.But everyone only thought that she was really drunk at that time, and made such a move in a moment of drunkenness.
But now, listening to Zhu Qiaoxin's sinister voice, even Luo Heng, who had been on the battlefield, broke out in a cold sweat.
"Princess calm down, this old slave--"
The old butler hurriedly squeezed out his voice, but at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin sneered: "Search for me, if you can't find it, then catch everyone in it, and catch all of them."
Yun Xing and Luo Heng glanced at each other, and then immediately ordered someone to rush in.
As soon as they entered the Zhou Mansion, the entire Zhou Mansion was brightly lit, and there were constant wailing and scolding voices coming from inside.
As time passed, Zhu Qiaoxin's expression became more and more ugly while sitting in the carriage.
People kept pushing out from inside, and hearing the cries and cries outside, Zhu Qiaoxin pressed harder and harder on the jade pendant on his chest.
"Princess!"
Zhu Qiaoxin was silent in the carriage, Yun Zheng suddenly realized that her reaction while waiting in the carriage was a bit abnormal and quickly opened the curtain.
A pair of blood-colored eyes came into view, and his mind went blank for a while, Yun Zheng stared blankly at Zhu Qiaoxin without moving for a long time.
"Ha ha ha ha----"
Zhang Zhang's wild laughter suddenly came in from outside, Yun Zheng finally recovered his senses and turned his head quickly.
But at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin heard the laughter, but stiffly looked out of the curtain he opened.
Dressed in a red brocade robe, he ignored everyone around him.With loose hair, Zhou Niexian twisted her face and laughed loudly: "You are late, haha, haha, Zhu Qiaoxin, you are late!"
"You are late! You are late! You are late!! You are late!!!" Zhu Qiaoxin's ears were filled with these words like a curse.
Looking at Zhou Niexian's eyes became redder and redder, and finally Zhu Qiaoxin got out of the carriage slowly, and Yun Zheng hurried to help her up.
Leaning on Yunzheng and getting out of the carriage, Zhu Qiaoxin staggered as if she had lost her soul and walked slowly towards the laughing Zhou Niexian.
Zhou Niexian was still laughing, and his family was being escorted out by the imperial army.But he didn't seem to see anything, just laughed wildly.
Step by step forward, the cold wind blowing in the night seems to be unable to stand.After finally walking through those few steps, Zhou Niexian and Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the laughing Zhou Niexian and said softly, "You—what did you say is late?"
Zhu Qiaoxin's voice trembled unconsciously, and she suddenly stopped laughing.Zhou Niexian sarcastically said softly: "So you will have this time too, so you will also be afraid!"
"Why is it late?" Zhu Qiaoxin asked again, her voice still inaudible.
Looking down at Zhu Qiaoxin standing under the steps as if she could be blown away by the strong wind, Zhou Niexian laughed loudly and said: "This is retribution, this is what you Zhu Qiaoxin owes me, what you owe me is retribution!!"
"Tell me, what happened to her?" Zhu Qiaoxin spoke again.
Looking down at the delicate and weak Princess Wei in front of her, Zhou Niexian leaned closer and said coldly: "Since the second year of Jianyuan, I have been looking forward to today every day and night. What do you think I will do to her? Haha It's ridiculous, ridiculous, really ridiculous!"
"Where is she? Where is Yue Qingfeng? What did you do to her?" Zhu Qiaoxin slowly raised her head and took a step forward.
Taking a step back unconsciously, Zhou Niexian said loudly and madly: "That's the expression, that's the expression. Why do you want to stab me again? What can you do to me today? Why did the emperor kill people today? You don’t know the meaning of sending it to me, do you? If you dare to touch me, do you think the emperor will help you or protect me this time.”
Zhou Niexian was still mad, but this time Zhu Qiaoxin didn't make a sound.
Feeling a little strange, Zhou Niexian slowly stopped laughing.But at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin approached a little bit.
"you----"
Even though they were standing together, although Zhou Niexian was thin, he was definitely taller than Zhu Qiaoxin who was a woman.But at this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Niexian trembled unconsciously.
"I'll tell you Zhu Qiaoxin, if you--"
The strong wind blew away Zhu Qiaoxin's wide sleeves, and the purple sleeves were shining with silver.
Yun Zheng was startled and hurried forward, but at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin and Zhou Nieyu had already changed directions.
Standing on the steps, looking at the weapon in Zhu Qiaoxin's hand, Zhou Niexian hurriedly looked to the left and right: "Come here---"
Looking at him blankly, just as Yun Zheng ran forward, Zhou Niexian panicked.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly let go.
With a bang, Yun Zheng stopped, Zhou Nie paused for a moment, and then showed a smug smile.
But just when he raised the corners of his lips, Zhu Qiaoxin stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
Looking at her blankly, Zhou Nie froze.At the same time, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly exerted force, and the next moment Zhou Nexian rolled down under the eyes of everyone.
"Princess!"
"Master!"
His body was icy cold, Yun Zheng could only watch helplessly as Uncle Zhou Guo in red robe rolled down in front of him.
The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion quickly ran towards Zhou Niexian.
After thirteen stone steps, Zhou Zhuang immediately hugged Zhou Niexian, who was biting his lips, and cried loudly: "Princess, calm down, my Zhou family is only a young master!"
"Princess think twice!" Yun Zheng quickly persuaded.
Ignoring him, Zhu Qiaoxin went down step by step, then looked down at Zhou Nexian again and asked, "Where is she?"
"Oh, I, I told you that you are late." Zhou Niexian said with a smile even though the pain in his body seemed not to be his own.
"Hehe!" With a smile, he cast a look at a black-clothed guard closest to her.
After the other party pulled away the housekeeper of the Zhou residence who was in the way, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly approached again and asked: "To be honest, I will spare you if I tell you the truth."
Hugging her arms aching all over, Zhou Niexian fell silent with unkind eyes.
Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly raised her right hand and covered her forehead with her arm. Seeing her like this, Zhou Nexian immediately shrank her eyes but remained silent.
"Princess, calm down!" Zhong Qiande, who came in a hurry, finally squeezed in and knelt down: "Princess, please spare the uncle for the sake of the emperor and queen. No matter what he does wrong, he will be punished by the law of the state. The princess must not take it seriously." Treating the laws of the country as child's play!"
"National law?"
Zhu Qiaoxin covered her forehead with her right hand and lowered her head, unable to see what she was thinking for a while.Zhong Qiande could only persuade: "The princess and the uncle may have some misunderstanding, so please stop the princess, we can ask the emperor to make a clear decision. Your forbidden army cannot enter Yancheng, otherwise it will be a serious crime, please follow the princess Da Zhou's laws act—"
Zhong Qiande was still chattering, Zhou Niexian on the ground smiled again.
But when she happened to see his smile, Zhu Qiaoxin's mind called rationality suddenly broke.
Zhu Qiaoxin kicked it directly, Zhong Qiande was stunned, Zhou Niexian let out a muffled snort.
The next moment, Zhu Qiaoxin kicked Zhou Niexian's face expressionlessly: "Laugh? Laugh, laugh! So what about the emperor, you have to see what he can do to me! Where's my sister? Where's my sister! Speak, I Tell you to talk. You are all slaves of my Zhu family, and they dare to make me unhappy again and again. What about my sister? Say! Say, say! Say! Did you hear me when I asked you to speak? I ordered you to speak to me!"
Zhu Qiaoxin kicked every time she said a word, and the sound of bumping resounded in the night.This time Yun Zheng finally stepped forward, knelt down and hugged Zhu Qiaoxin's leg that had been kicking downward.
"Master?" Yun Zheng's voice was full of disbelief.
When everyone was stunned, Zhong Qiande quickly reacted and hugged Zhou Niexian who was on the ground.
At this moment, Zhou Niexian's face was bloody and bloody, and he looked back at the blood stains on his right foot in a daze. Zhu Qiaoxin lowered his head and asked softly again: "Where is Yue Qingfeng?"
Zhou Niexian seemed to have fainted, and leaned on Zhong Qiande without saying a word.Zhong Qiande also quickly protected him.
Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her head and rubbed her toes, just as Yun Xing and Luo Heng came out.Seeing them returning empty-handed, he sneered lightly.Zhu Qiaoxin said softly, "Drag all the four to six-year-old children out of this mansion."
Everyone was stunned, and Yun Xingdeling immediately walked towards the two children who were surrounded by the crowd just now.
"Zhu Qiaoxin, you are simply inhuman!" Zhou Nie slowly stood up, her voice trembling in a leisurely manner.
Ignoring the others, Zhu Qiaoxin said loudly: "Drag it out!"
Yun Xing was startled, and immediately went to pull people.
"My lord, please don't touch my child, princess, please, young master, young master, please, young master, please."
A young woman dressed as a wife stopped in front and began to cry, and the old housekeeper, Zhou Zhuang, was also pale.
"Didn't you always say that I made your Zhou family disappear? Then what are these two? There are a lot of wives and concubines at a young age, and they dare to be affectionate towards me, and dare to put on a copy of the palace. How you look. Didn’t you tell me that you were late just now? Then I will show you what it means to be really late!"
Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly laughed coquettishly, Yun Xing had already pulled the two brocade-clothed children out.
The two children were pretty well-behaved at first, but they cried immediately after being pulled away from their mother.
Continuing to laugh, Zhu Qiaoxin walked over to the two children directly: "Come here, is your name Zhou Ziqing, Zhou Ziyu, right? Look, it's only been a few years, I almost forgot what your names are."
The two children were gifts from the old man after he was deposed by Zhu Qiaoxin.Although their mother was only his maid, Zhou Niexian still carefully protected her.
At that time, Zhu Qiaoxin's reaction was too strong, so he didn't dare to let them recognize their ancestors.Gradually, as time passed, he deliberately concealed the existence of the child.So that the emperor and everyone felt that she owed them the Zhou family, but he never dreamed that Zhu Qiaoxin not only knew the existence of the two of them, but also knew their names.
Zhu Qiaoxin, who was walking towards the two children step by step in the dark, was delicate and weak, and gave a wry smile.The moment Zhu Qiaoxin bent down and was about to touch the two children, Zhou Niexian suddenly shouted excitedly: "Zhu Qiaoxin, you won, you won. Remember it to me. I will never let you go. I will never let you go. I won't let you go, you will remember it, Zhu Qiaoxin!"
Squatting in front of the two children, Zhu Qiaoxin remained expressionless and did not move.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Niexian said softly: "The Jingxin Lake behind the Binyun Pavilion!"
The hand that had been clenched into a fist finally moved, and Zhu Qiaoxin quickly got up and ran directly into Zhou's mansion.
Nothing in the Zhou Mansion has changed, Zhu Qiaoxin, who ran inward in a hurry, almost fell down.
"Princess!"
Yun Zheng and Yun Xing hurriedly followed.
Hurriedly holding onto the stone corridor beside her, Zhu Qiaoxin ran in desperately.
There was a blank in her mind, at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin seemed to only know how to run forward.
Corridors one by one, corners one by one, Zhu Qiaoxin felt that he had spent a long time on the short journey.
Finally, after passing through the Binyun Pavilion and arriving at Jingxin Lake, which was brightly illuminated by the night, Zhu Qiaoxin finally calmed down.
"elder sister!"
Zhu Qiaoxin looked around and checked.
Yun Xing and Yun Zheng led people to follow, and quickly checked the surroundings.
"Sister!" Zhu Qiaoxin hurried up to the pavilion in the lake, and Zhu Qiaoxin's voice became lower and lower.
"The bigger the man! The bigger the man!" Yun Xing called out loudly, but only his own echoes responded to him.
Yun Xing and Yun Zheng led the people, and hurriedly searched for it in the surrounding gardens and grass forests.
Looking at the empty pavilion, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly wondered if she had been cheated.
A pair of eyes were full of panic, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly yelled: "Come out and give me your voice."
There was still no sound around, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the ridiculously large Jingxin Lake, and said angrily: "Bring Zhou Niexian here!"
Suddenly realizing it, Yun Xing hurried out to find Zhou Niexian.
"Master, don't worry!" Yun Zheng's voice came from one side.
Zhu Qiaoxin had never heard of it, so she just said loudly: "Sister, Yue Qingfeng, come out!"
Realizing that her voice was wrong, Yun Zheng hurried over.
"The clearer the wind, come out for me, come out, the clearer the wind."
Zhu Qiaoxin was still yelling, but when Yun Zheng approached, she suddenly knelt down on the stone pavilion and yelled loudly: "Ahhhh."
"..." Yun Zheng and everyone who was just behind him were stunned.
"Zhu Shoujiang, I hate you, Zhu Shoujiang, I hate you, I will kill you, Zhu Shoujiang, you are not worthy to be an older brother, I will kill you."
"Princess be careful!" Yun Zheng quickly knelt down.
"Yunzheng, I'm sad, I'm sad!" Clutching her collar tightly, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the front and whispered: "He promised his father and queen mother to take care of me, he promised them, how could he do this. He I said that my sister and I will be fulfilled, and even today I still think that I, Zhu Qiaoxin, are living a very good life. Some people are hurting, some people are loving, but why everything has changed all of a sudden."
"Princess!" Yun Zheng stepped forward gently.
"He can not hurt me, he can guard against me. But why does he even take away the only thing I want now, Yueqingfeng her, she and I worshiped, how could he do this!"
"Princess!" At the moment of lack of words, Yun Zheng just looked at his master and secretly felt distressed.
"elder sister---"
Yun Zheng thought she was still worried, so he quickly reached out and touched Zhu Qiaoxin's back: "Princess, wait a minute, wait---"
"Sister! Sister!!" Suddenly pointing forward, Zhu Qiaoxin ran along the wooden corridor.
The raised hand froze in mid-air, following the direction Zhu Qiaoxin pointed just now.Looking at the small boat swaying with the waves in the middle of the lake, Yun Zheng lowered his head and showed an extremely bitter smile.
"Sister, sister!" Running forward in a hurry, looking at the boat in Jingxin Lake,
