Reborn to the fourth year of Jianyuan
Chapter 52
If everything that Yue Qingfeng thought before was just guesswork, then at this moment she was absolutely sure that he had this intention.
The heart under the chest seemed to be jumping out, the whole person seemed to be thrown into a raging fire that was burning, Yue Qingfeng suddenly burst into sweat profusely.
A drop of sweat ran across his cheeks and flowed into Yue Qingfeng's mouth, the fishy sweetness in his mouth strangely calmed Yue Qingfeng down.
The head and the body seemed to be separated, Yue Qingfeng's body was twitching and struggling feebly.But in his heart, he was extremely calm thinking about countermeasures and a way out.
The guards who had been outside the outer hall seemed to have finally heard the change, and ran over yelling.
Zhong Qiande held Yue Qingfeng's body with his left hand, but his right hand moved to Yue Qingfeng's chest very quickly.
Feeling the hand on his heart trembling slightly, Yue Qingfeng looked at Zhong Qiande in disbelief.
"Don't blame me, Qingfeng, who told you to guess what I was thinking at this time. If it was someone else, I wouldn't care about it. After all, there is no evidence. But you are so close to the queen, no matter whether you will say it or not, I don't want to take risks. !"
Zhong Qiande, who was approaching and talking in a low voice, suddenly exerted force in his hand, and at the same time as he exerted force.Yue Qingfeng under him didn't move at all.
"The more - the more - the clearer the wind!"
Calling softly, Zhong Qiande stared at his hand on Yue Qingfeng's body, and at Yue Qingfeng whose head was hanging in his arms, he was stunned.
"What's the matter, General?"
"Come here, come quickly, and send the imperial physician!"
Someone knelt down and hurriedly reached out to Yue Qingfeng. At this time, Yue Qingfeng was hugged by Zhong Qiande.With both hands and face inside, the man had no choice but to stretch his hands towards Yue Qingfeng's neck.
"Go away!"
Knocking off the opponent's hand at once, he looked down at his right hand.He clearly knew that the strength in his hands was not that strong, and he knew that the other party's situation at this time should have nothing to do with him.But at this moment, looking at Yue Qingfeng leaning softly on his body, Zhong Qiande felt that he was responsible for everything.
"Don't move!" Hearing Zhong Qiande's scolding, the little guard who had just touched Yue Qingfeng's neck immediately became excited loudly.
Looking back at more and more servants and guards around him, the little guard turned pale and said anxiously: "Quickly go and tell the queen, the Princess is dead!"
Zhong Qiande, who was still half-kneeling, knelt down completely when he heard the words, his eyes were full of disbelief.With his head cleared up a little, Zhong Qiande immediately stepped back and completely put Yue Qingfeng in his arms on the ground.
Wearing a purple shirt on the floor, looking at the messy hairpin on the floor, the red hairpin falling off, and the corners of the mouth bleeding blood stains Yue Qingfeng.Zhong Qiande first touched the corner of her mouth again, and then immediately touched Yue Qingfeng's neck.
The original pale face suddenly changed at this time, looking at Yue Qingfeng lying lifeless on the ground.Looking at the panicked young guard wearing the Inner Court Guard Badge, a trace of suspicion flashed in his heart, and Zhong Qiande quickly touched Yue Qingfeng's right wrist again.
"Go away!"
The sound of chaotic footsteps and unusually harsh reprimands from behind interrupted Zhong Qiande's movements at once.Looking at all the guards and maidservants who all retreated and then quickly knelt down.Seeing the Great Zhou Empress who rushed to him immediately after the sound was over, the kneeling Zhong Qiande stepped back, looking down at Yue Qingfeng who was lying down, his eyes were full of complexity.
"Sister--sister!" She fell back, and when Yunzheng Yunxing stretched out her hands at the same time, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately stabilized her body and knelt on the ground.
"Tell the imperial doctor!" Zhu Qiaoxin said quickly, then lowered her head, and immediately touched the sachet on her belt with both hands.
His fingers couldn't stop trembling slightly, his whole body seemed to be numb, and his lips were pursed tightly.Looking at her uncontrollable right hand, Zhu Qiaoxin ignored the eyes of everyone around her.All of a sudden, he slammed his right hand hard on the red pillar beside him.
With the sound of a touch, everyone in the hall fell silent, and countless eyes focused on Zhu Qiaoxin's right hand.
Pain sometimes produces unexpected results. At the same time as the severe pain came, Zhu Qiaoxin's feeling of numbness and uncontrollable body also became lighter.
When everyone around was frightened, Zhu Qiaoxin tore off the sachet from his waist.And quickly took out a blue pill from it, and stuffed it into Yue Qingfeng's lips.
"The princess should just be in a coma, so please don't panic too much, Your Majesty!" Slowly raising his head, although he had a bad premonition in his heart, Zhong Qiande still had to speak to comfort him.At this point he couldn't say much, but he absolutely couldn't stop talking.
"How is it possible!" The little guard who was scolded by Zhong Qiande just now looked down at his right hand, his eyes were full of panic and disbelief.
The whole person seemed to have ascended from hell to heaven at once, and he raised his head and glanced at Zhong Qiande who was opposite him.Zhu Qiaoxin then took a deep breath, and immediately, slowly and carefully placed her hands on Yue Qingfeng's chest.
"Sister!" The movements of his subordinates were low, as if they could hardly be felt if it wasn't for deliberation.
But just such a little bit of low and gentle ups and downs made Zhu Qiaoxin, who was calm just now, feel hot in the eyes.
Looking at the queen's reaction, all the people around who heard the news and ran out showed joy.Yue Shengde, who stood in the innermost place with a tense face, also slowly let go of his tightly clenched fists.
Breathing heavily, her hot eyes gradually became sore and astringent, Zhu Qiaoxin smiled and sat directly on the ground.
"Sister, the older sister, the clearer the breeze!" She called out her name without any scruples, when everyone was shocked.Zhu Qiaoxin moved forward a bit, and then vigorously supported Yue Qingfeng's body.Putting her head on his knees, he lowered his body and pressed his forehead against Yue Qingfeng's.
At this time, her actions were almost extremely bold and blatant. Although most people on the field had never seen it at the time, it was in the Yue servant who had served Emperor Wu in the harem.But most of them had heard about some deeds between her and the current empress when she was the eldest princess when Emperor Wu drove Yue Qingfeng out of Yancheng.
Seeing the empress so reckless now, some people around were shocked.Some people can see it clearly, and even the old ministers' faces are ashen.
"Where's the imperial doctor? If you don't arrive within half a stick of incense, then don't come!" A voice without warmth rang in everyone's ears.
When everyone was a little uncomfortable, Zhu Qiaoxin said softly and inaudibly: "Come here, put Zhong Qiande, the general of the town, and Yun Xing, the minister of internal guards, into death row. When Princess Mingyue wakes up, tell me why she If so, I’ll ask them about their crimes again!”
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Yun Zheng glanced at his younger brother, and immediately knelt down.He could clearly see the situation at that time, it wasn't that his younger brother didn't try his best, but that there were too many ministers and wives around the queen at that time.And Yun Xing being locked up may not have much impact, but if even Zhong Qiande is locked up, it will be a big deal.
"Your Majesty, today is the second day after General Zhen Guo returned to Beijing. It is a big day for His Majesty to clean up the dust for him. Please be careful, and don't let the hearts of all the soldiers be chilled." Immediately knelt down.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Almost half of the ministers and generals knelt down.
"The emperor's humble minister came out with the general, and the humble minister can-"
"Drag out all the guards around Princess Mingyue, as well as the guards in charge of this place in Ganquan Palace, and leave none behind!"
Seemingly not hearing anything, he slowly raised his head.Zhu Qiaoxin looked past all the ministers and looked to the other side.
"Meng Yu respectfully obeys the emperor's order!" A young man in Tsing Yi came out from the dark shadow.
Looking at the plain-looking man in Tsing Yi, Yun Xing suddenly closed his eyes.And Liu Yu, who originally wanted to say that he saw everything, turned pale and closed his mouth.
He didn't remember everything from the past very clearly, but this green shirt and black belt made him not calm down all of a sudden.
When he went to visit his friend Zhong Qiande yesterday, he was bumped by such a person.In the past six months, he seemed to have often seen men dressed like this appearing beside him.The existence of memory that can never be guessed is just a small reminder.Liu Yu suddenly thought of the first time he saw Yue Qingfeng and the Empress on the Qiqiao Festival in the fourth year of Jianyuan.Those guards who had been protecting the eldest princess who he only discovered after being reminded by Zhong Qiande seemed to be all dressed like this at that time.All of them are tall and straight, with a restrained and unique temperament.But people like this, standing in the crowd, can't feel their existence in a strange way, and it feels like their appearance is like being separated by a layer of gauze, so people can't see clearly.
Knowing that the person who came was the leader of the Qingwei beside the empress, Yun Zheng, who was kneeling, had a flash of panic and complexity in his eyes.When Shangshu Chu Xiangyang of the Ministry of Punishment looked abnormally excited, Meng Yu, who appeared, clapped his hands lightly.
Following Meng Yu's movements, several of the kneeling guards in the corridor of the outer hall stood up.Later, countless guards with knives in blue armor emerged from the outside.
"Head, just now—" When everyone was panicking, suddenly the guard who touched Yue Qingfeng's neck just now stepped forward and whispered in Meng Yu's ear.
His face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and Zhong Qiande looked at the little guard who rushed over with a yell just now, and then said that Yue Qingfeng was dead.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here! And the Princess seems to be awake!" Standing not far away, like Chu Xiangyang, who did not kneel down, the champion of Jinke suddenly made a sound.
"elder sister!"
"The clearer the wind!"
Following Zhu Qiaoxin's cautiousness, Zhong Qiande, who was kneeling, also took a step forward, his eyes full of panic and inexplicable.
Signaling his subordinates to let in the few imperial physicians who were blocked outside, Meng Yu and everyone in the outer hall looked at Princess Dazhou Mingyue whose eyes were flickering slightly.
"Qiaoxin!" He opened his eyes all of a sudden, and glanced at Zhu Qiaoxin who was hugging her very excitedly.He glanced at all the important ministers in the hall who were surrounded by him, all of whom looked unclear.Seeing Zhu Zhengtang in the distance raised his finger to his waist jade pendant engraved with his name, Yue Qingfeng screamed and immediately turned sideways and firmly grasped Zhu Qiaoxin's red embroidered dragon robe.
"Empress, he—he—"
"What's wrong with him?" Looking at Zhong Qiande's eyes without a trace of warmth, Zhu Qiaoxin raised his hand and slowly touched Yue Qingfeng's loose hair.
The movement of Zhu Zhengtang pointing to the jade pendant on his waist, and the intimate movement of Zhu Qiaoxin's hand now, made Yue Qingfeng understand the current situation at once.
"He--" knew that if there were no sufficient reasons, he would definitely not be able to overthrow this so-called upstart in the military all at once.And if she said that all of this was just her own guesswork, it would be even more ridiculous.
His eyes were slightly cold, thinking of the icy Chi Jiangshui in his previous life, and Zhu Qiaoxin who died for himself.
Looking up at Zhu Qiaoxin, Yue Qingfeng's eyes were filled with tears.
With some desperate thoughts in his heart, Yue Qingfeng said in an inaudible voice: "He - he said - he said - he wanted to try what kind of woman Her Majesty likes, he -"
"Zhong! Qian! De!"
"The clearer the wind!!"
Zhu Qiaoxin and Zhong Qiande spoke at the same time, and seeing everyone looking at him, Zhong Qiande immediately straightened his waist and said in a loud voice: "I dare to swear—"
"I--although I was raised in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue since I was a child,--but the blood of the Zhu family is always flowing on my body." Suddenly interrupting his words, Yue Qingfeng also sat up and said loudly : "The first emperor secretly sent me to Xuyang, just to let me live well as a princess. But---but I never dreamed that you knew my identity and dared to---"
"Your majesty, please be clear. At that time, the late emperor handed over the great master to the humble minister, and he trusted the humble minister. What's more, since I already know the relationship between the emperor and the lord, how could it be like that---"
"I -- I thought you were a drunken gaffe, and I didn't want to pursue it!" Suddenly raising his voice to suppress Zhong Qiande's words, Yue Qingfeng broke free from Zhu Qiaoxin's arms, stepped forward, shook his body and continued condescendingly : "But General Zhong, why bother to say that even if you kill me today, if you kill any prince surnamed Zhu, the queen will swallow her words."
"What a slave, he's so defiant!"
"Just looking for death!"
Zhu Qiaoxin looked up at Yue Qingfeng, whose face was slightly flushed, with clear eyes.Seeing that she was silent, Zhu Zhengtang, Prince of Jiangnan, and Zhu Zhuoren, son of Prince Changshan of Luocheng, stood up immediately.Today, the empress ordered them to be moved below and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, and they also saw Yue Qingfeng's intentions, so how could they not help with all their strength.
"Your Majesty, the princes and sons and ministers also invite Ming Jian. Although I, Zhong Qiande, am not smart, I am definitely not stupid. How could I molest her majestic Princess Mingyue in this place and say such outrageous things. And the guards who came here just now You can testify for me, seeing the princess fainted, I immediately hugged her, for her---"
"Unbearable humiliation, I wanted to bite my tongue and kill myself, but you squeezed my mouth all of a sudden. Your hands are still stained with blood from my mouth, and I should have cut your neck when I struggled. If you really want to To prove your innocence, why not stand up and let everyone see your neck?"
Her face was hot, she never knew that Yue Qingfeng was such a person.For a moment, Zhong Qiande only felt that the soft-heartedness just now was a joke.
Looking up at this woman who was about to put himself to death just relying on a little guesswork, Zhong Qiande lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Although I, Zhong Qiande, was born in the famous Zhong family in Jiangsu, I am just a mere bastard. I don’t know how much suffering I have endured to get the chance to serve the imperial court. No matter the seasons of the year, whether it’s the cold winter, the twelfth lunar month or the hot summer sun, I never leave my sword and dare not slacken the slightest bit.”
Someone in the main hall was puzzled, but Zhong Qiande still bowed his head and said every word: "Zhong Qiande has lived for 25 years. In the first [-] years, I only knew how to practice hard and get ahead. In the next five years, I was fortunate to be The first emperor reused him, step by step from an ordinary guard to the third-rank Yulin general. From Zhong Qiande's heart, there was only Da Zhou and my Da Zhou emperor. I swear that for Da Zhou and the emperor, even if Zhong Qiande is Even if you die, you will be willing to go through fire and water."
"Later, the late emperor died suddenly, and the North Khitan and the Western Wei Kingdom invaded our Great Zhou at the same time. No minister in the court dared to be an enemy of the Khitan, and the Queen ordered me and General Yun to serve the Great Zhou together. In fact, no one knew that Qiande had How scared and how grateful."
The hall became quiet again. Zhong Qiande looked at the expressionless queen, and his voice was full of bitterness: "I'm afraid that I will fail the queen's trust, and I'm afraid that my lack of virtue will damage my country and face. A sinner through the ages. At the same time, I am grateful to the Queen for giving me such an opportunity, for giving me one hundred thousand imperial guards without any scruples and giving me the power of life and death."
"The empress is my benefactor, someone Zhong Qiande will never betray until his death!" He licked his head heavily against Yue Qingfeng, lowered his eyes, Zhong Qiande squeezed his hands tightly: " I—I used to be—couldn’t see my identity clearly and had a little thought for the princess. But since I knew that the princess is the Zhu family and the queen’s cousin, I never dared to have the slightest thought I was delusional. I——I just saw the princess’s face was not good, so I followed it out for a while. But—but Qiande didn’t know that the princess really hated me so much. I hate me so much that I don’t hesitate to destroy If I ruin my own reputation, Qiande will die. Well--well--since the princess really hates me, Zhong Qiande, then Qiande will immediately let the princess get what she wants. I--"
"Yun Zheng, search him for me!" Doubt and blame appeared in the eyes of many court ministers, just as Zhu Qiaoxin shook his head at Yue Qingfeng to signal her to be calm.Slowly squatting down, looking at Zhong Qiande who kept his head down all the time.Yue Qingfeng sneered and said repeatedly: "You still haven't shown everyone the wound on your neck, you still haven't explained why you have blood stains on your hands, and you still haven't told everyone what Zhong Qiande thinks. If that's the case, then Don't blame me for disregarding past friendship!"
"Yun Zheng, Luo Heng, you two go up and search in person!" Zhong Qiande leaned over and moved suddenly when he heard Yue Qingfeng say to search.Going forward and quickly pulling Yue Qingfeng who was squatting up, looking at Yue Qingfeng who was very energetic at this time, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately shouted: "Hurry up!"
I don't know why the Queen's voice suddenly became louder, and she stepped forward to apologize.Yun Zheng and Luo Heng pulled up Zhong Qiande, who was kneeling, and searched his waist.
Being supported by Zhu Qiaoxin from behind, Yue Qingfeng didn't seem to notice, just staring at Yun Zheng and Luo Heng's hands.
There was nothing around Zhong Qiande's waist, and he complained to Yue Qingfeng in his heart, Yun Zheng knelt down and touched Zhong Qiande's black military boots meaningfully.
A two-foot-long knife was found by Yun Zheng at once, his eyes were full of shock, and he slowly pulled it out little by little.Holding it tightly, Yun Xing immediately said in a low voice: "No one inside or outside the court knows that in the entire palace, except for the inner court guards who carry knives, no one is allowed to carry weapons. Even if you usually have the habit of carrying knives, but How could you be so sloppy when meeting His Majesty. It is a rule not to wear a sword when meeting the royal family, especially the emperor, you---"
After getting along for more than a year, Yun Zheng actually didn't want to see him ruined like this, so he immediately helped him.
But just when Yun Zheng still wanted to play a bad face and wanted the empress and all the ministers to soften their hearts.Zhu Qiaoxin, who was only staring at Yue Qingfeng, immediately said directly: "Contempt for the royal family and disregard the palace rules is already a capital crime. Offending the royal family and intending to assassinate is even more sinful. Meng Yu immediately dragged the guilty minister Zhong Qiande down to beat him. Go to the prison and choose a day to ask to be killed---"
"How do you know? Yue Qingfeng, how could you know?" Suddenly excited, Zhong Qiande immediately moved forward, his body was restrained, and Zhong Qiande hissed all of a sudden: "Yue Qingfeng, how do you know that my legs are tied? With a weapon? No one knows, how on earth do you know!!"
In the old days, just because he was too handsome, when he was six years old, he was intended to be offended and teased by his father's legitimate son and his own brother.At that time, he tried his best and escaped after being beaten beyond recognition.
A man stumbled and ran on the road, and when he fell to the ground in a panic, when he saw the dagger, everything was different.
He returned to the forest with this thing, and found his brother who seemed to be very interested in everything.When he stepped forward and looked fierce, he inserted it around his waist without hesitation.
His usually pretentious elder brother knelt down while clutching his stomach.But he pulled out the knife with all his strength, and stabbed it down quickly.
From the waist to the neck, from the neck to the waist, he stabbed a full 42 times before killing his father's son-in-law.
Pulling out the small sword, he cleaned himself up and down by the river not far away.He hid the little sword in his boot like this, and then went home desperately and told his father that he was beaten up by his elder brother and thrown into the creek.
After that, his father's contempt didn't matter, and he remembered his heartache when he found his brother's body for a lifetime.
It was determined that someone killed his son-in-law bravely for the sake of his son-in-law. Since then, in the entire Zhongfu, he and his mother have become existences that everyone can bully, despise and insult.
Such a miserable day, such a day when even a small servant could bully him.He lived for ten years until he was 16 years old.It was the first time he won the jackpot in Jiangsu's martial arts test, and he was finally recognized by the whole family.
But in ten years, that small sword, which was not very sharp, had become an inseparable part of his body.
Even though no one dared to touch him, even when his father looked at him with admiration, he never thought about throwing away the little sword that gave him courage at the beginning.
According to the rules in the palace, those who carry weapons privately are not allowed to enter the palace.But he still deliberately forgot, and later he was reused by Emperor Wu and the Empress.As a powerful minister, he felt that this was not important anymore.When he was a bodyguard, some people might dare to search his body.But when he was one of the top generals in Dazhou, he didn't think anyone would dare to intentionally make things difficult for him.
No one would have dared, and no one would have guessed that he would have a sword hidden in his person.He didn't even intend to tell anyone about it, but how could she know about it.
The author has something to say: o(n_n)o~
The heart under the chest seemed to be jumping out, the whole person seemed to be thrown into a raging fire that was burning, Yue Qingfeng suddenly burst into sweat profusely.
A drop of sweat ran across his cheeks and flowed into Yue Qingfeng's mouth, the fishy sweetness in his mouth strangely calmed Yue Qingfeng down.
The head and the body seemed to be separated, Yue Qingfeng's body was twitching and struggling feebly.But in his heart, he was extremely calm thinking about countermeasures and a way out.
The guards who had been outside the outer hall seemed to have finally heard the change, and ran over yelling.
Zhong Qiande held Yue Qingfeng's body with his left hand, but his right hand moved to Yue Qingfeng's chest very quickly.
Feeling the hand on his heart trembling slightly, Yue Qingfeng looked at Zhong Qiande in disbelief.
"Don't blame me, Qingfeng, who told you to guess what I was thinking at this time. If it was someone else, I wouldn't care about it. After all, there is no evidence. But you are so close to the queen, no matter whether you will say it or not, I don't want to take risks. !"
Zhong Qiande, who was approaching and talking in a low voice, suddenly exerted force in his hand, and at the same time as he exerted force.Yue Qingfeng under him didn't move at all.
"The more - the more - the clearer the wind!"
Calling softly, Zhong Qiande stared at his hand on Yue Qingfeng's body, and at Yue Qingfeng whose head was hanging in his arms, he was stunned.
"What's the matter, General?"
"Come here, come quickly, and send the imperial physician!"
Someone knelt down and hurriedly reached out to Yue Qingfeng. At this time, Yue Qingfeng was hugged by Zhong Qiande.With both hands and face inside, the man had no choice but to stretch his hands towards Yue Qingfeng's neck.
"Go away!"
Knocking off the opponent's hand at once, he looked down at his right hand.He clearly knew that the strength in his hands was not that strong, and he knew that the other party's situation at this time should have nothing to do with him.But at this moment, looking at Yue Qingfeng leaning softly on his body, Zhong Qiande felt that he was responsible for everything.
"Don't move!" Hearing Zhong Qiande's scolding, the little guard who had just touched Yue Qingfeng's neck immediately became excited loudly.
Looking back at more and more servants and guards around him, the little guard turned pale and said anxiously: "Quickly go and tell the queen, the Princess is dead!"
Zhong Qiande, who was still half-kneeling, knelt down completely when he heard the words, his eyes were full of disbelief.With his head cleared up a little, Zhong Qiande immediately stepped back and completely put Yue Qingfeng in his arms on the ground.
Wearing a purple shirt on the floor, looking at the messy hairpin on the floor, the red hairpin falling off, and the corners of the mouth bleeding blood stains Yue Qingfeng.Zhong Qiande first touched the corner of her mouth again, and then immediately touched Yue Qingfeng's neck.

The sound of chaotic footsteps and unusually harsh reprimands from behind interrupted Zhong Qiande's movements at once.Looking at all the guards and maidservants who all retreated and then quickly knelt down.Seeing the Great Zhou Empress who rushed to him immediately after the sound was over, the kneeling Zhong Qiande stepped back, looking down at Yue Qingfeng who was lying down, his eyes were full of complexity.
"Sister--sister!" She fell back, and when Yunzheng Yunxing stretched out her hands at the same time, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately stabilized her body and knelt on the ground.

"How is it possible!" The little guard who was scolded by Zhong Qiande just now looked down at his right hand, his eyes were full of panic and disbelief.
The whole person seemed to have ascended from hell to heaven at once, and he raised his head and glanced at Zhong Qiande who was opposite him.Zhu Qiaoxin then took a deep breath, and immediately, slowly and carefully placed her hands on Yue Qingfeng's chest.
"Sister!" The movements of his subordinates were low, as if they could hardly be felt if it wasn't for deliberation.
But just such a little bit of low and gentle ups and downs made Zhu Qiaoxin, who was calm just now, feel hot in the eyes.

"Qiaoxin!" He opened his eyes all of a sudden, and glanced at Zhu Qiaoxin who was hugging her very excitedly.He glanced at all the important ministers in the hall who were surrounded by him, all of whom looked unclear.Seeing Zhu Zhengtang in the distance raised his finger to his waist jade pendant engraved with his name, Yue Qingfeng screamed and immediately turned sideways and firmly grasped Zhu Qiaoxin's red embroidered dragon robe.
"Empress, he—he—"
"What's wrong with him?" Looking at Zhong Qiande's eyes without a trace of warmth, Zhu Qiaoxin raised his hand and slowly touched Yue Qingfeng's loose hair.
The movement of Zhu Zhengtang pointing to the jade pendant on his waist, and the intimate movement of Zhu Qiaoxin's hand now, made Yue Qingfeng understand the current situation at once.
"He--" knew that if there were no sufficient reasons, he would definitely not be able to overthrow this so-called upstart in the military all at once.And if she said that all of this was just her own guesswork, it would be even more ridiculous.
His eyes were slightly cold, thinking of the icy Chi Jiangshui in his previous life, and Zhu Qiaoxin who died for himself.
Looking up at Zhu Qiaoxin, Yue Qingfeng's eyes were filled with tears.
With some desperate thoughts in his heart, Yue Qingfeng said in an inaudible voice: "He - he said - he said - he wanted to try what kind of woman Her Majesty likes, he -"
"Zhong! Qian! De!"
"The clearer the wind!!"
Zhu Qiaoxin and Zhong Qiande spoke at the same time, and seeing everyone looking at him, Zhong Qiande immediately straightened his waist and said in a loud voice: "I dare to swear—"
"I--although I was raised in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue since I was a child,--but the blood of the Zhu family is always flowing on my body." Suddenly interrupting his words, Yue Qingfeng also sat up and said loudly : "The first emperor secretly sent me to Xuyang, just to let me live well as a princess. But---but I never dreamed that you knew my identity and dared to---"
"Your majesty, please be clear. At that time, the late emperor handed over the great master to the humble minister, and he trusted the humble minister. What's more, since I already know the relationship between the emperor and the lord, how could it be like that---"
"I -- I thought you were a drunken gaffe, and I didn't want to pursue it!" Suddenly raising his voice to suppress Zhong Qiande's words, Yue Qingfeng broke free from Zhu Qiaoxin's arms, stepped forward, shook his body and continued condescendingly : "But General Zhong, why bother to say that even if you kill me today, if you kill any prince surnamed Zhu, the queen will swallow her words."
"What a slave, he's so defiant!"
"Just looking for death!"
Zhu Qiaoxin looked up at Yue Qingfeng, whose face was slightly flushed, with clear eyes.Seeing that she was silent, Zhu Zhengtang, Prince of Jiangnan, and Zhu Zhuoren, son of Prince Changshan of Luocheng, stood up immediately.Today, the empress ordered them to be moved below and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, and they also saw Yue Qingfeng's intentions, so how could they not help with all their strength.
"Your Majesty, the princes and sons and ministers also invite Ming Jian. Although I, Zhong Qiande, am not smart, I am definitely not stupid. How could I molest her majestic Princess Mingyue in this place and say such outrageous things. And the guards who came here just now You can testify for me, seeing the princess fainted, I immediately hugged her, for her---"
"Unbearable humiliation, I wanted to bite my tongue and kill myself, but you squeezed my mouth all of a sudden. Your hands are still stained with blood from my mouth, and I should have cut your neck when I struggled. If you really want to To prove your innocence, why not stand up and let everyone see your neck?"
Her face was hot, she never knew that Yue Qingfeng was such a person.For a moment, Zhong Qiande only felt that the soft-heartedness just now was a joke.
Looking up at this woman who was about to put himself to death just relying on a little guesswork, Zhong Qiande lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Although I, Zhong Qiande, was born in the famous Zhong family in Jiangsu, I am just a mere bastard. I don’t know how much suffering I have endured to get the chance to serve the imperial court. No matter the seasons of the year, whether it’s the cold winter, the twelfth lunar month or the hot summer sun, I never leave my sword and dare not slacken the slightest bit.”
Someone in the main hall was puzzled, but Zhong Qiande still bowed his head and said every word: "Zhong Qiande has lived for 25 years. In the first [-] years, I only knew how to practice hard and get ahead. In the next five years, I was fortunate to be The first emperor reused him, step by step from an ordinary guard to the third-rank Yulin general. From Zhong Qiande's heart, there was only Da Zhou and my Da Zhou emperor. I swear that for Da Zhou and the emperor, even if Zhong Qiande is Even if you die, you will be willing to go through fire and water."
"Later, the late emperor died suddenly, and the North Khitan and the Western Wei Kingdom invaded our Great Zhou at the same time. No minister in the court dared to be an enemy of the Khitan, and the Queen ordered me and General Yun to serve the Great Zhou together. In fact, no one knew that Qiande had How scared and how grateful."
The hall became quiet again. Zhong Qiande looked at the expressionless queen, and his voice was full of bitterness: "I'm afraid that I will fail the queen's trust, and I'm afraid that my lack of virtue will damage my country and face. A sinner through the ages. At the same time, I am grateful to the Queen for giving me such an opportunity, for giving me one hundred thousand imperial guards without any scruples and giving me the power of life and death."
"The empress is my benefactor, someone Zhong Qiande will never betray until his death!" He licked his head heavily against Yue Qingfeng, lowered his eyes, Zhong Qiande squeezed his hands tightly: " I—I used to be—couldn’t see my identity clearly and had a little thought for the princess. But since I knew that the princess is the Zhu family and the queen’s cousin, I never dared to have the slightest thought I was delusional. I——I just saw the princess’s face was not good, so I followed it out for a while. But—but Qiande didn’t know that the princess really hated me so much. I hate me so much that I don’t hesitate to destroy If I ruin my own reputation, Qiande will die. Well--well--since the princess really hates me, Zhong Qiande, then Qiande will immediately let the princess get what she wants. I--"
"Yun Zheng, search him for me!" Doubt and blame appeared in the eyes of many court ministers, just as Zhu Qiaoxin shook his head at Yue Qingfeng to signal her to be calm.Slowly squatting down, looking at Zhong Qiande who kept his head down all the time.Yue Qingfeng sneered and said repeatedly: "You still haven't shown everyone the wound on your neck, you still haven't explained why you have blood stains on your hands, and you still haven't told everyone what Zhong Qiande thinks. If that's the case, then Don't blame me for disregarding past friendship!"
"Yun Zheng, Luo Heng, you two go up and search in person!" Zhong Qiande leaned over and moved suddenly when he heard Yue Qingfeng say to search.Going forward and quickly pulling Yue Qingfeng who was squatting up, looking at Yue Qingfeng who was very energetic at this time, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately shouted: "Hurry up!"
I don't know why the Queen's voice suddenly became louder, and she stepped forward to apologize.Yun Zheng and Luo Heng pulled up Zhong Qiande, who was kneeling, and searched his waist.
Being supported by Zhu Qiaoxin from behind, Yue Qingfeng didn't seem to notice, just staring at Yun Zheng and Luo Heng's hands.
There was nothing around Zhong Qiande's waist, and he complained to Yue Qingfeng in his heart, Yun Zheng knelt down and touched Zhong Qiande's black military boots meaningfully.
A two-foot-long knife was found by Yun Zheng at once, his eyes were full of shock, and he slowly pulled it out little by little.Holding it tightly, Yun Xing immediately said in a low voice: "No one inside or outside the court knows that in the entire palace, except for the inner court guards who carry knives, no one is allowed to carry weapons. Even if you usually have the habit of carrying knives, but How could you be so sloppy when meeting His Majesty. It is a rule not to wear a sword when meeting the royal family, especially the emperor, you---"
After getting along for more than a year, Yun Zheng actually didn't want to see him ruined like this, so he immediately helped him.
But just when Yun Zheng still wanted to play a bad face and wanted the empress and all the ministers to soften their hearts.Zhu Qiaoxin, who was only staring at Yue Qingfeng, immediately said directly: "Contempt for the royal family and disregard the palace rules is already a capital crime. Offending the royal family and intending to assassinate is even more sinful. Meng Yu immediately dragged the guilty minister Zhong Qiande down to beat him. Go to the prison and choose a day to ask to be killed---"
"How do you know? Yue Qingfeng, how could you know?" Suddenly excited, Zhong Qiande immediately moved forward, his body was restrained, and Zhong Qiande hissed all of a sudden: "Yue Qingfeng, how do you know that my legs are tied? With a weapon? No one knows, how on earth do you know!!"
In the old days, just because he was too handsome, when he was six years old, he was intended to be offended and teased by his father's legitimate son and his own brother.At that time, he tried his best and escaped after being beaten beyond recognition.
A man stumbled and ran on the road, and when he fell to the ground in a panic, when he saw the dagger, everything was different.
He returned to the forest with this thing, and found his brother who seemed to be very interested in everything.When he stepped forward and looked fierce, he inserted it around his waist without hesitation.
His usually pretentious elder brother knelt down while clutching his stomach.But he pulled out the knife with all his strength, and stabbed it down quickly.
From the waist to the neck, from the neck to the waist, he stabbed a full 42 times before killing his father's son-in-law.
Pulling out the small sword, he cleaned himself up and down by the river not far away.He hid the little sword in his boot like this, and then went home desperately and told his father that he was beaten up by his elder brother and thrown into the creek.
After that, his father's contempt didn't matter, and he remembered his heartache when he found his brother's body for a lifetime.
It was determined that someone killed his son-in-law bravely for the sake of his son-in-law. Since then, in the entire Zhongfu, he and his mother have become existences that everyone can bully, despise and insult.
Such a miserable day, such a day when even a small servant could bully him.He lived for ten years until he was 16 years old.It was the first time he won the jackpot in Jiangsu's martial arts test, and he was finally recognized by the whole family.
But in ten years, that small sword, which was not very sharp, had become an inseparable part of his body.
Even though no one dared to touch him, even when his father looked at him with admiration, he never thought about throwing away the little sword that gave him courage at the beginning.
According to the rules in the palace, those who carry weapons privately are not allowed to enter the palace.But he still deliberately forgot, and later he was reused by Emperor Wu and the Empress.As a powerful minister, he felt that this was not important anymore.When he was a bodyguard, some people might dare to search his body.But when he was one of the top generals in Dazhou, he didn't think anyone would dare to intentionally make things difficult for him.
No one would have dared, and no one would have guessed that he would have a sword hidden in his person.He didn't even intend to tell anyone about it, but how could she know about it.
