In a corner of the Qin Palace, there is a bamboo forest, and there is a thatched house in the deepest part. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are no palace maids and eunuchs here, there is no trace of life, and in front of the deserted stone table in front of the door, the moss grows green, and no one cleans it up. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the palace, it seems out of place, as if there are two worlds.

There was a man kneeling outside the house, shouting loudly, "Xiaobo begged the master to come out and save my companions." ”

went to the Zhongdian to rescue, Xinbo didn't think about it that way, Zhongli is powerful, Xinbo is very clear. It's basically impossible to rescue people in her territory, and even if Zhongli isn't there, the people who go will be killed.

The bell hall is a force that serves the king, and Xinbo thought about it for a long time, so he could only come and plead with the owner of this thatched house. He had been kneeling here for three days, but unfortunately the owner of the hut was unmoved and did not come out to meet him.

Xinbo said again: "Tonight will be the day of their action, if the master does not come out of the mountain to rescue, in this cold Qin Palace, there should be no one to rescue." There were many partners back then, and if too many people died, there would be many people involved, which would make the political situation in Daqin fall again. ”

"The swordsmaid doesn't know how many people there are, she's too powerful, and she won't ask how many people participate, she will definitely kill them all. The only thing that can stop her from putting down the butcher knife is the master. ”

A sigh came from the hut: "Is it tonight?" ”

Out of the room came an old and frail woman, leaning on a cane, slowly came to the stone table and sat down, constantly tapping the ground with her cane, looking extremely annoyed.

Xinbo knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, not daring to look up at the old woman.

"I remember that at that time, I watched you grow up, and I was kind to you. Do you not know how to reciprocate, and do that thing that is obsessed with the Lord, and now you still have the face to beg me, a dying man, to save your life, is it a shame? ”

"The death of Qing Ming and Xuan Ming, that is the death they deserved, the task of the first king, did not force them to do anything, if you don't want to do it, you can go away and fly high, you don't have to come back."

"Now that I have returned, I am ready to die. What does it have to do with their deaths for the sake of the previous king? By making such a fuss, you have deepened your sins. ”

"Jiang Er is also back, what are you doing here? Is she going to assassinate the new king too? It hurts to think about it, I have given you life, I have pulled you up with one hand, and when you turn around, you will love its master, how sad. ”

Xinbo's whole body trembled when he heard it, and he didn't dare to speak. This old woman was the one who accompanied the previous king, and she was in charge of them, and even after Mrs. Huayang came to the throne, she didn't dare to kill her.

When Yingzhu died, Mrs. Huayang took charge of the harem, and in order to stabilize the status of the harem, she killed many concubines of the same generation. Only he didn't dare to kill the old woman, and the old woman also understood, and offered to live in this deserted thatched hut so as not to disturb her eyes. Only by protecting one's life can he survive until now.

"You ask me to come forward, if Huayang finds out, she will come over and complain about me again, blaming me for not handing over you people to her back then, causing such a big trouble."

"Huayang is more ruthless than me, if you are handed over to her, maybe many people will die, or many people will be scattered among the people. I remember that night Xiao Fuzi came to tell me that Xiao Zhuozi poisoned my Zichu, I cried for three days and three nights, regretting not listening to Huayang's words and not handing you over. ”

"Lord, this is the reward for the children I raised."

Xinbo didn't dare to say a word, she kept kowtowing, and what she and others did hurt her old man's heart. A word of the Lord, directed to the heart, is sad.

The old woman sighed: "After all, I raised them, and some people may die tonight, and only a few can I save." Xiaobo, please remember that those who were saved by me, after Jiang Er's strength recovered, all of them will get out of the palace for me, get out of my Daqin, and be regarded as my old man, the last request, to fulfill the feelings of you and my master and servant. ”

Xinbo cried when he heard this, and kowtowed desperately: "Xiaobo is unwilling to leave the master's side, it is even more uncomfortable than killing me, please take back your life." ”

The old woman shook her head and said: "You have to go, Huayang is not clear in a short time, after a long time, so many people have died in the palace, you must go to investigate." When she took Brother Zhu's daily life record and came to find someone to ask me for, I couldn't protect you. ”

"Let's go, the Zhong Hall is far away from me, and you must walk around Huayang Palace."

got up and walked out of the bamboo forest, Xinbo got up crying and went with him. Xinbo knew that this was the last time the master would help, and from then on, the relationship between the master and the servant was clear, and she owed her too much, and how much suffering she had to endure before she was willing to help.

In front of Yingzheng's dormitory, Lao Xiang was also kneeling, and he didn't answer anyone who asked, but he just asked to meet Yingzheng.

Lin Ye said distressedly: "Brother Xiang, what's wrong with you tonight, I have already said it, the eldest brother has fallen asleep." These days, there are many things in the court, and when he comes back at night, should we disturb his sleep? If you wait for Sister Zhongli to come and ask you, seeing that you are so noisy, it is very likely to kill you, aren't you afraid? ”

Lao Xiang sighed: "I'm very afraid, but no matter how scared I am, I have to see the king tonight." The king must come forward in this matter, otherwise no one who comes will be able to help me. Yezi, maybe tonight, is my death period, and there are some things that I have to do even if I have to die. ”

Lin Ye said helplessly: "Then you continue to kneel, I'll go inside and ask again to see if the eldest brother has woken up." ”

In the palace, many guards and palace ladies saw a kneeling man kneeling quietly in front of the king's bedroom.

The matter spread quickly, and Huayang Palace naturally knew about it, and Wei Lan immediately ordered: "The master is asleep, and the master is not allowed to know about Brother Xiang's going to the king." Whoever dares to chew his tongue will be killed with a rod. ”

"Whoa." All the subordinates are called. This is the way things are in this palace, and there are some things that you can't talk nonsense about if you know them. Especially here in Huayang Palace, Weilan, Lao Xiang, and Mao Mao have the most power, whoever dares to tell Mrs. Huayang about it, the Queen Mother will praise them, but those three people have countless ways to kill you.

Weilan was also puzzled, what happened today? Mao Mao was nowhere to be seen, Lao Xiang actually went to the king to kneel quietly, if the queen mother knew, she would definitely be beaten. Fortunately, the Queen Mother slept and temporarily issued a gag order, and after a long time, let Lao Xiang explain it herself.

There were many people who heard this, among which Mrs. Zhao Ji asked casually: "Xiao'er, why are you the only one who comes tonight, I told you a long time ago, before you go to bed, you can't be without people around you, in case you are bullied, but no one will support you." ”

Mi'e said angrily: "I don't know what's going on tonight, in the evening, no one around me can find it, maybe it's to play." My mother also knew that the people who came with me were all members of the Mi clan, and there were many people from their own clan in the palace, and they all had to take care of the relationship. I was also in a hurry, so I didn't wait long, lest I have to make my mother wait for me, which would be a big sin. ”

Ji Rong heard this, and said strangely: "When my sister said this, Rong'er also felt strange, the few eunuchs arranged for me in the palace didn't see it tonight, so I could only bring a few henchmen and maids from Yan Country to serve." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Zhao Ji has lived in the palace for so long, and often sees Mrs. Huayang dealing with some things, and her political consciousness is very high. Summoned the confidant maid and whispered a few words.

Not long after the maid went out, she came back and said, "Master Qiqi, there are indeed several people who are not there, and I don't know where they went, I will go to the palace to inquire, and I should be able to ask where they are." ”

Zhao Ji got up abruptly and said sharply: "Don't go to them, you immediately order to go down and call Min to come over on their behalf, there will be a big incident in the palace tonight." I don't have a master here, it's a little unsafe, go and call Run'er over, Zheng'er has Zhongli and Ye Zi there, there won't be any danger. ”

After listening to this, the maid went directly to summon.

Mi'e asked curiously, "What is this going to do?" Does anyone dare to harm my mother? ”

Zhao Ji pondered: "If you can't find someone in your place, that's it." But Rong'er, I have many subordinates here, and many of them are gone. One is a coincidence, but the fact that so many people disappeared together is not a coincidence, but something they were going to premeditate. ”

"Lest you be frightened in any way, all the princesses who are new to the palace will come to me for one night and return tomorrow."

There is a sentence that Zhao Ji did not say, so many people can't find it, and Lao Xiang is kneeling in Yingzheng, there must be something important to tell. What can't wait until dawn to talk about, but choose to say it in the middle of the night, the matter must not be small.

Lao Xiang was still kneeling, and at this time, Lin Ye came over angrily and whispered, "What are they going to do?" There was something from my mother's side, and she called Mi Run to talk freely. I learned from my mother that many of the people in the palace had disappeared. ”

"As the leader of the eunuchs, my old brother Xiang, do you dare to say that you don't know?"

Lao Xiang was surprised: "Who have disappeared?" I really don't know. ”

Lin Ye said: "From Huayang Palace to Xingle Palace, Liuying Palace, and then to Zhiyang Palace, many people are gone, and I don't know where they went?" With my understanding of the Queen Mother, it is so late, and there are still people in Huayang Palace going out, and they must have a meal. ”

"But they just left, they couldn't find anyone at all, and you also came from Huayang Palace, why did you say that you didn't know, what are you hiding?"

Lao Xiang said anxiously: "There are so many people involved, Lin Ye, please wake up the king immediately, you can't wait any longer." When I see the king, I will tell the reason for their disappearance, and I can't trust it anymore, I will kowtow to you. ”

In front of Lin Ye, a few heavy kowtows came to mind, and then looked at Lao Xiang looking up, there were already blood stains on his forehead, and the blood was slowly flowing down, which looked extremely evil.

Lin Ye was also a little panicked, could it be that those people who disappeared had all gone to the Zhong Palace? This can't be done, there are too many people, and the eldest brother must be made a decision immediately, otherwise Zhongli will definitely kill them all.
