empress and princess

Chapter 106

On the eve of entering the city, on the way to secretly kill Li Dang, Qin Jiufeng specially brought Tanmei wine and ran straight to Li's mansion.

At present, Dr. Li Dang has closed his home to thank guests for a long time. Because of thinking about his dead daughter and feeling depressed, he came to the boudoir where Shizhou was young, and once again drank his sorrows to the moon to express the thoughts of an old father.

Leng Yueqinghui, the more he drank in this atmosphere, the more hesitant and sad. Unexpectedly, an accident happened at this moment. While he was slightly drunk, he suddenly saw a figure flashing in the dark, and he didn't enter the courtyard.

Li Dang's white beard trembled, and his face became more and more old and haggard. When he saw the thief breaking into him, he didn't shout or scream. After waiting for the person to show his true face, he finally raised his glass slowly to her: "Let me tell you a joke first." There have been absurd rumors in Xianyang City these years: Lord Qin Jiu came to the gate, just like the king of hell. I didn’t believe it before, but I didn’t really believe it until I saw it with my own eyes at this moment.”

The joke is not funny at all, only full of sadness.

When the most prestigious and promising eldest daughter, the most proud of Li Dang, passed away, the glory that shrouded him must have been exhausted. The days are more decadent.

The visitor walked lightly and responded softly: "Ah Yong is ashamed, he has lived for more than 40 years and is still notorious."

Li Dang snorted, showing the posture of an elder, and reprimanded: "You have been raised in the prime minister's mansion since you were a child, and you have been happy with Zhou'er at the grandfather's knee. The old man naturally knows what kind of temperament you are. If you want to blame, you are too affectionate. That woman would rather give up the throne she has obtained and make enemies everywhere! Ah Yong, you still have a long way to go, and killing too much is not a good thing after all."

Qin Jiufeng lowered his head, and still respected him as before: "I would like to listen to Xiangfu's teaching." After all, Dr. Li is still half of her teacher, and he almost became Weng's son-in-law.

"You didn't meet any obstacles on your way back to the city, so your Majesty should go back to the palace too?" After the training, Li Dang asked again.

"Go to town early tomorrow morning."

"Okay! The old man has finally waited for such a day. With your support, the throne will finally be returned to the king."

Li Dang finally showed a little smile on his wrinkled face. With a wave of his hand, the sake filled in the golden bottle instantly poured to the ground, "Then what about you, my lord, why do you come here uninvited? I only drink with the widowed and lonely old people." Reminisce?"

Qin Jiufeng picked up the cup, pressed it to his lips, and drank it very slowly.

The memory was pulled back 40 years ago, when the mother and concubine passed away due to illness, Prime Minister Li took her out of the palace for the first time and entered the prime minister's mansion. It was this uncle Li Dang who was in the mansion at that time, and said to her very lovingly: Don't be afraid , from now on, the Li family will be your backer, no one will dare to bully you anymore.

She has memorized this sentence for many, many years, and she still remembers it until now.

Secretly kill Li Dang, when Wei Jin said this, she also felt panic.

The Li family has served the monarch for several generations, but in the end, luck still cannot escape the fate of the monarch and his ministers. The world was initially settled, and the once stable backer has now become an unstable thorn in the Great Qin.

When Qin Jiufeng came here, he really wanted to question the commander, what exactly is this?Is it true that every good minister and virtuous general in Daqin can't start well and end well?

After Jing Wei Jin woke up, she understood.

Because the neutral faction can never remain neutral, once there is a deviation and the Li family falls to the other side, this is definitely a catastrophe and must be eliminated.And Li Dang is the leader of the neutral faction, so he dared to say in front of Wei Si and all the ministers that the son of Prince Qi's mansion would be the next king, and who would die if he didn't die?

"Before sending Xiangfu on the road, Ah Yong will drink and talk with you, so that you won't be alone."

After a long silence, Qin Jiufeng said, this sentence is extremely heavy.

Li Dang's reaction was calm after hearing this, because this sentence finally confirmed his conjecture, and he didn't need to hide it anymore. He let out a long sigh of relief: "So, I have to thank the prince for sending the old man on his last journey."

"Father..."

"My lord, you don't need to say much. I understand your difficulties, and I also know that you are for King Qin, but also for the stability of our Great Qin Dynasty, so I will not do things for you." Li Dang laughed, "I have already expected that the Queen Mother will not Let the Li family go, I just didn't expect to come so soon, and I didn't expect that she would send you here."

Qin Jiufeng held his forehead and smiled wryly: "Maybe she guessed it right. You are all my closest people, so you won't embarrass me."

Li Dang nodded: "Yes, this is the strength of the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother Wei played tricks and tricks, and no one can match her today.

"So not implicating the relatives in the family, it is the best ending for this old man to die alone. Thinking that my Li family is loyal to the country and serves the country diligently, what will I get in the end? The old man has lived for seventy years. Now, I only regret not seeing the day when the king proclaims himself emperor."

Li Dang miscalculated, just breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help sighing.The glory of his Li family has withered since Shi Zhou's death.

Qin Jiufeng's eyes were slightly red, "Father, what else can I explain?"

"My lord, this old minister has a merciless request."

"Father, please tell me."

"I'm dead, I just ask the lord to see that for the sake of Prince Qi's family and your ancestors, you must leave the child in the womb of Mingyue's wife. That is the only blood of Daqin. Once this root is broken, the country will be in turmoil! The old minister is not happy." Dare to make alarmist remarks, just because King Qin has never had an heir, and she just needs this child to stabilize the subjects." Finally Li Dang got up and saluted solemnly.

At the court meeting that day, Li Dang said that the son of Prince Qi's mansion would be the next King Qin, in order to deliberately provoke the Empress Dowager Wei into murderous intentions.

The reason is actually very simple, Daqin doesn't need him now, so he will die.

that's it.

In the middle of the night, when he came out of Li's mansion, Qin Jiufeng cupped his fists, pointed at the benevolent man behind the wall, and sent him off with a salute.

Night, very quiet.

When passing the Prime Minister's Mansion at the corner of the street, Qin Jiufeng couldn't help slowing down, raised his eyebrows, and took a few careful glances at the closed Zhumen.

The two stone lions in front of the gate are still a majestic town house, and the words "Prime Minister's Mansion" on the door plaque are still exquisite, but it's a pity that since the owner's death, the Prime Minister's Mansion has no servants to take care of it. It has been dusty for many years, and the whole mansion has no light.

After walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion.

Qin Jiufeng still had Titan wine in his hand, and was about to talk to the old prince about the old days, but just stepped on the steps of the back door, and before he had time to knock the lock, he heard someone crying in the mansion: "King Qi, the old prince is gone!! "

There was a sudden bang in her head, she was pale at first, and then there was darkness in front of her eyes. She stood in front of the door and held on to the wall for a long time before she suddenly understood.

Brother Six is ​​gone.

The old wound on the arm was densely packed, and it started to hurt again.

Qin Jiufeng was covered in cold sweat, so he turned around staggeringly, put the wine outside the threshold, and walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion when he left. She covered her chest and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

——"Father Xiang, Brother Wang, Li Wuce, I will reunite with you soon, and then Ah Yong will apologize to you again."

It was very unfortunate that the brother and sister didn't say a word, and the old prince died first.

On the same night, two respected and respected veterans passed away one after another. After being diagnosed by the imperial doctor at that time, the cause of their death coincided with the same point, and they died in bed.

"It's not yet two o'clock, aren't you going to catch up on the old days, and you're back so soon?"

Outside the city, Wei Jin raised his head to look at the sky, then lowered his voice, full of doubts and asked very surprised.

It is said to go to reminisce about the old days, but in fact it is to notify the date of death one day in advance.

Along the way, Qin Jiufeng didn't speak, ignored Wei Jin, and walked dully. She didn't turn around until she stepped into the camp: "You are wrong about one thing, my sword is not stained with the blood of loyalty!"

The sky gradually became brighter until it was three poles high in the sun.

Chu Huaimin got up early in the morning and was busy making soup for Qin Jihuang's body, when Ah Yan appeared and complained that he had nothing to do, the food was hot and hot again, and King Qin hadn't eaten since yesterday.

In this world, besides the Ninth Prince and the Queen Mother, the only one who can make the King of Qin obediently belong to this Concubine Chu.

After listening to Ah Yan's words, Chu Huaimin thought about it carefully. Qin Jihuang didn't sleep well these days, she was sweating coldly in the middle of the night and was always awakened by nightmares.

King Qin's behavior was indeed abnormal.

"Then you put it away for now, and I'll send it to her later. What is Your Majesty doing?"

"Watering the flowers."

When Chu Huaimin entered the back camp, the King of Qin was really concentrating on watering the wild flowers by the roadside.

She didn't turn her head when she heard the familiar footsteps, she squatted down and continued to sprinkle water, until a white shirt came into view, and then said in a muffled voice: "Everyone suddenly surrendered to me, saying that I am the real dragon emperor, do you believe it?"

"Trust." Chu Huaimin leaned over to look at her.

King Qin was beautiful and his face was impeccable, but why those flexible and vivid pupils became dull, which moved Chu Huaimin's heart.

"But I don't believe it."

"Why?"

"Because this battle is too easy to win, I feel uneasy. The lonely king would rather this is a bloody battle, even if he is covered with bruises, he will die in the battle, that way he wins brilliantly and wins wisely!"

With continuous watering, the clump of wild flowers began to wilt and wither. Qin Tangjing didn't care, and continued to pour water into the soil.

She understands the word enough is enough, and she also understands that others interfere too much with wild flowers, not only can't make them bright, but it will be counterproductive, but she doesn't want to just taste it and stop.

"As long as the desired result is achieved, nothing else matters."

Chu Huaimin reached out, pressed Qin Tangjing's wrist, and took her water bottle.

Qin Tangjing then raised his head, "Is it really not important?"

Chu Huaimin hummed, squatted down to hold the bowl, and brought a spoonful of nourishing soup to her mouth, his eyes dyed softly, "You are the king of the world, all the people are subject to you, they are naturally afraid of you. Don't think too much, Immediately enter the city, and you will have strength when you are full."

"Every time we arrive at a city, the guards seem to have a tacit consensus, and they all open the city to welcome us in. When we returned to Qin, almost no soldiers were killed. What does this mean?" Qin Tangjing looked sideways at her.

"It shows that they know that resistance is futile."

Chu Huaimin looked back, the answer was quite logical.

Although Qin Mingyue occupied the throne, many civil and military officials below refused to accept him and refused to hold the coronation ceremony. Qin Jihuang knew this well.

"My lord, there are times when I can't help myself." King Qin sighed, turned away from the spoon, buried his head under Chu Huaimin's neck, sniffed the fragrance of her hair greedily, and murmured for a long time: "Mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, I will I am not afraid of anything, I am most afraid that I am not strong enough to protect you."

"I don't need you to protect me, I can protect myself."

Qin Tangjing's body trembled when he heard the words, and he hugged Chu Huaimin tightly.

Chu Huaimin patted her on the back, and said very understandingly: "The big deal is that I won't follow you into the palace."

The dead princess of Chu is also the concubine of King Qin, and with the name of betrayal, it is indeed inappropriate for her to appear in the Palace of Qin in such a grandiose way due to her various deeds.

Qin Tangjing closed his eyes, as if his throat was blocked, he hissed and asked, "What is the purpose of you returning to Qin with me?"

"Although I haven't been with you day and night, but I know you, you will never lose your mind because of me, because I know that feelings are not everything in your world, from beginning to end... I am not everything to you. Even if I fight The Six Kingdoms regained the mountains and rivers, obtained the whole world as they wished, and obtained the results they wanted, but they still couldn't get you completely."

Afterwards, the voice was hoarse, and there was no anger, nor heart-wrenching sorrow and joy, only the helplessness in the face of the cruel reality, and only the hope left in my heart gradually turned into despair.

Back then, she had great ambitions and vowed to be the No. 1 in the ages, and worked diligently towards the goal, which was to trample under the feet of those who despised her as a woman!

But at this moment, the goal is still the same, but her selfishness is also mixed in it.

How can you talk about such things with a thousand words?King Qin, who thought he had a heart of stone, failed in the end. He really lost, completely.

"Jihuang..." Chu Huaimin called out, also sighing infinitely.She has never been able to comfort people, nor is she good at expressing herself.

Simply, with a kiss lyrical.

Chu Huaimin took the initiative, not a very proficient kiss, but full of her tenderness, it quickly ignited the loose string in the deepest part of Qin Tangjing.

The lips are pressed together, and the lips and teeth are entangled. The feeling of heartbeat and breath blending is really intoxicating.

In particular, the eldest princess closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes were shy and shy, so fascinated that King Qin almost forgot about the south, east, and north.

Forget it, no matter what her purpose is, she still wants to do it, so... let's talk about it later!

At the moment when she lost her mind, Qin Tangjing thought to herself not without luck.

The kiss continued to deepen, and the warm and soft touch slowly melted into each other's consciousness, and a trace of sweetness spread on the lips and tongue as they kissed.

The feelings that had been suppressed for a long time broke out at this moment.Qin Tangjing's breathing was a little disordered, and he wrapped his arms around Chu Huaimin's waist, kissed her cheek, along the earlobe to the neck, and fell straight to the skirt of the chest.

With a flick of her fingertips, the belt was untied smoothly, and Chu Huaimin's coat slowly fell down, and finally she took it off, and spread it on the other side of the wild flowers that had not had time to water it in the future.

Chu Huaimin was panting, and when she saw her clothes on the floor, her face couldn't help but flushed. When she realized what was going on, she was brought down. When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on her back, and saw the bright sky.

A group of wild geese happened to fly by at this time, they fluttered their wings and honked very loudly, not knowing whether they were mocking or laughing.

In broad daylight, they actually...

"Your martial arts are very good, is there anyone around Tan Tan?" Above, Qin Tang Jingsi rubbed her ear.

Chu Huaimin's face turned even redder, almost spilling blood.

"Ok?"

"……none."

Very good, there are no people around, so it is easier to do bad things.

After half an hour.

After doing the bad things, Qin Tang felt refreshed, and finally felt that Chu Huaimin beside him still belonged to her, and the displeasure of worrying about gains and losses disappeared for the time being.

The two had just changed into clean clothes when Ah Yan appeared again like a ghost.

"My lord, there is a news from the city that Dr. Li and the old prince passed away last night. I heard that they passed away peacefully in bed."

This news, good or bad, really stunned Qin Tangjing.

Doctor Li Yu Xiaohuangshu is also a father and a teacher, and the old prince is the elder brother of the Xiaohuang uncle. Back then, she killed all the princes and princes of the Qin family, leaving only the old Qi Wang.

"My lord knows about it. He just told the king not to worry about her. The time has come. Please come to the city to preside over the overall situation."

Ah Yan seemed to have guessed what King Qin was thinking, and urged her to leave first.

Qin Tangjing was silent then, a chill seemed to surge up his back, his whole body began to feel extremely uncomfortable, and he coldly covered up all the lingering heat just now.

"You, wait here for my return."

After a while, this sentence was spoken to Chu Huaimin.

Chu Huaimin nodded.

After standing for a while, Qin Tangjing half bent down, picked up the cold bowl of soup, and drank it with his head held high.

Putting the empty bowl back into Chu Huaimin's hands, Qin Tangjing took a deep look at her, turned around and took a step, but after walking a long distance, she paused, without looking back, she just looked sideways at Xianyang City: "This is a conspiracy, yes wrong?"

The sun was like fire, but her words were cold and piercing.

This sentence is destined to have no answer.

Chu Huaimin was at a loss for words, he didn't know how to explain it, he didn't know how to describe this conspiracy, and he didn't know how much Qin Jihuang had figured out, so he had nothing to say.

"I can't stop what you want to do, but I won't stand idly by. If you want to hate, you can hate me alone. At least now you are still my queen, follow me into the city and return to the palace openly!"

In the end, it was Qin Jihuang who turned back, stood unshakably, and stretched out his hand towards Chu Huaimin.

Chu Huaimin looked into her eyes, raised his hand without hesitation, and dropped it into King Qin's palm, and slowly bent his lips after the man held her: "My lord, I have an agreement with someone, she said, She is waiting for me at the palace."

When the eldest princess smiled, she bloomed like an ice lotus. Her beautiful smile was enough to captivate the world.
