Chapter 73 Chapter 30 The Queen's Death

Chu Qiao waited for a while, but she was a little anxious when Yan Xun came back.After a while, Ah Jing lifted the curtain of the car and said that Yan Xun got into Prince Li's car and asked Chu Qiao to leave first without waiting for him. Spring always comes very late on the Hongchuan Plateau. At this time, Bian, Tang, Huai and Song Dynasties are already enjoying the warm summer sun, birds singing and flowers fragrant, but the land of Daxia is still cold in spring, and occasionally there is a icy wind blowing from a distance. The chariots and horses could not move forward when they reached the Yuhua Gate, so Chu Qiao got out of the chariot, followed the palace guards who came to guide the way, entered the front corridor, and turned all the way to the front hall.

Maybe it was still early, the Holy Golden Palace was quiet, there were white birds flying in the sky, the sky was blue, the cool wind was blowing on the clothes, and the sleeves fluttered like butterflies. "Eunuch Bai!" A young eunuch suddenly ran from the direction of the camphor hall, panting to the elderly father-in-law who was leading the way, and said, "Eunuch Bai, Qin Shuyi from the Shuyi Bureau is dead!" "What?" Eunuch Bai was taken aback, his face turned pale with shock, the whisk in his hand fell to the ground immediately, and he stammered, "What's going on?"

"People from the Shuyi Bureau said that they suddenly fell ill after eating the jujube cake from the Western Restaurant, and now the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau have entered the palace." "How could this be?" The old man frowned. When she turned her head and was about to speak, Chu Qiao said, "Go ahead if you have something to do, I know the way to the front hall." "Thank you, Chu Fangyi." The old man bowed and said to the little eunuch, "Let's go." Chu Qiao is a fourth-rank female official with the title of Fangyi, and she has lived in the palace for many years, so she is very familiar with these empresses and father-in-laws.To be precise, the emperor of Great Xia was not lustful, and among the women in the palace, no one was particularly favored or neglected.She vaguely remembered Qin Shuyi from the Shuyi Bureau, named Wanwan, who was unobtrusive. Among the Shuyi Bureau's 80 songs and dances, she had always been the most peaceful and peaceful person, and often came to their Shangyifang to pick her up. Book.Unexpectedly, such a person who stays out of everything can't escape the disaster of death.

Don't think about it anymore, after passing through the camphor hall, you will see the Baqu Minghu Lake. The willows on both sides of the lake have already branched out, a piece of crisp and oily green, the breeze is gentle, and the blue waves on the lake are rippling.Chu Qiao stood on the Baqu covered bridge, her clothes were fluttering in the wind, and she couldn't help feeling a little open. Walk quickly through Ronghua Pavilion, and then go to the Fumen in the front hall. She walked on a side road, which was relatively quiet, and there were few pedestrians. White shirt and black hair, looks very elegant.

However, at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came, which immediately disrupted the girl's progress. Chu Qiao stood still, looked up, and saw a big snow-white eagle descending from the sky, fell to the ground with a bang, its chest and abdomen were pierced by a sharp arrow, dripping with blood. The sound of chaotic footsteps approached immediately, the girl frowned, stretched out her hand and pushed open a palace door beside the corridor, dodged and hid inside. However, as soon as the door of the room was closed, a strong force suddenly struck, and the wind in the palm was as sharp as a knife.

The opponent was so powerful that Chu Qiao was restrained without checking.She reacted so quickly that she didn't have time to see who the other party was. She turned around and grabbed her wrist, and a coiled snake hand clasped the other party's throat. However, the moment she succeeded, a slender but cold palm squeezed tightly. Hold her snow-white neck. The shots are like lightning, evenly matched. The doors and windows were closed tightly, there was no light, and the room was so dark that it was impossible to see each other's eyebrows.The faces and figures of the two were hidden in the darkness, only the sharp eyes shone with a faint light, like two beasts meeting on a narrow road.

Even though he restrained him, he didn't make a ruthless move.Almost at the same time, the two sides stretched out a finger tacitly, seeing that the other side also made the same move, they continued to let go, and finally, they stood facing each other, but they still couldn't hide the tension in the air. "Sister Yun, why are you doing this?" A gentle voice suddenly resounded in the courtyard. The woman was wearing a blue brocade and colorful phoenix court dress, a purple gold carved head crown, water sleeves like clouds, a slender waist, a face like peaches, plums, and spring flowers, and eyes like a June orchid lake. Surrounded by a group of palace people, Come forward slowly.

"You and I are a sister, how can my sister have the heart to see you make a big mistake?" The servants brought up a nanmu recliner, and Concubine Shu stroked her sleeves, sat down slowly, and took the white eagle chair with a faint smile. He took a closer look at the letter he had untied from his body, and said, "It's a serious crime for a woman in the harem to pass it on to someone outside the palace. My sister has been in charge of the Six Palaces for many years, don't you know? Why did you make such a mistake?" The most honorable woman of the former dynasty stood in the middle of the courtyard, wearing a deep purple colored gold dress, with a straight neck, followed by two court ladies, she still had the same luxurious and graceful look, but her face was pale and slightly pale.Mu Henayun didn't even look at Concubine Shu Gui, and said in a deep voice to the two palace servants behind him: "Let's go."

"stop." Muhe Nayun continued on his way as if he had never heard of it.Several servants immediately stepped forward, stopped in front of Mu Henayun, and said in a deep voice: "Queen, please stay, the imperial concubine has something to say." "Slap!" There was a crisp sound, and Muhe Nayun slapped the servant's face fiercely. Empress Daxia raised her phoenix eyes and shouted coldly: "What is your identity? How dare you stand in my way?" the way?" The servant was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down on the ground with a plop.After ten years of Mu Henayun, under the years of accumulating power, these servants were frightened into silence.

Concubine Shu Gui's eyes turned cold, and she said lightly: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. My sister's prestige has not diminished, and her demeanor is still the same. Congratulations." Mu Henayun's face was as cold as ice, and he said in a cold voice: "You and I have never been acquainted, and we have no friendship. I have never been afraid of you before, and now I don't intend to take you seriously. The women in the palace Ups and downs, ups and downs, prosperity and decline are also normal, since everyone is an enemy and not a friend, you don't need to call your sister sweet."

Concubine Shu Gui smiled, and said: "Sister Yun has a fiery temper, she speaks straight and heart, my sister really likes you more and more." "Don't dare to do it, I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you and enjoy the flowers." After all, he turned around and wanted to leave. "Wait!" Concubine Shu Gui's pretty face turned cold, she stood up slowly, held up the letter in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't you plan to explain?" "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?" Mu Henayun snorted coldly, and said slowly: "If you like it, you can take it to the emperor. The emperor's sage will make a wise decision." "But, I want to hear my sister's explanation." Mu Henayun turned around slowly, his phoenix eyes were like snow, he stared at Concubine Shu Gui coldly, the grace of the Tian family came over his face.She smiled proudly, curled up the corners of her mouth, and smiled faintly: "If I were you, I would never do this today." Concubine Shu Gui didn't expect her to say this suddenly, she was taken aback for a moment, and Mu Henayun continued: "Women in the palace first look at their family background, second, they look at the emperor's favor, but they also look at their offspring. Concubine Shu Gui, you Entered the palace in the same year as me, and started as a young lady together, you are not inferior to me in all aspects, why I was the empress ten years ago, but you are still a noble concubine, have you ever thought about the reason?" Concubine Shu's face turned cold, and there was no longer a hint of a smile. Mu Henayun said in a deep voice: "Because you are stupid, you only know trivial tricks, you are short-sighted, arrogant and domineering, and you have the face of a villain. Become a great weapon. Fortunately, you just voted in a good family and have a good brother." "Bold!" The maid next to Concubine Shu shouted loudly. The female officer behind Mu He Nayun said sharply: "You are so bold! When the empress talks to your master, why did you, a lowly slave, ever speak up?" "Mu He's family has fallen. If I were you, I wouldn't be standing here at this moment. Compared with me, don't you realize that the person in Lanxuan Hall is more threatening to you at this moment?" The corners of Mu Henayun's mouth curled up, and he smiled mockingly: "Do you think the emperor will allow the Wei Clan to become the next Mu He family? Although the Mu He family is down, this palace is the best candidate to check and balance all parties. You can't be a queen. No matter how beautiful the Wei Clan is outside, you are just a concubine in the Daxia Palace. I advise you to learn the meaning of etiquette, the way to advance and retreat, and the ritual of worship. Queen of Daxia, It can only be me, Muhe Nayun, who used to be, is now, and will be in the future. You? Give up." A long wind blew up and rolled up Mu Henayun's dark purple clothes.The woman in her forties had a sharp face and her hair was like a waterfall. She looked like a woman in her thirties, her figure and demeanor were full of nobility and arrogance. Concubine Shu Gui stood at the same spot, looking at Mu He's back as the clouds went away, her eyes were gloomy, she immediately turned around, her footsteps stopped when she passed by the kneeling servant, and she said to the people beside her in a deep voice: "Pull him down and execute him." "Your Majesty!" The servant was shocked, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, please spare me!" Concubine Shu Gui didn't look back, and quickly disappeared into the courtyard. There were sparrows chirping past in the corridor, and the lake water was faint, reflecting soft light. The door was opened, and the outside light came in, Chu Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked aside. The man was tall and tall, dressed in a dark red dress, with a black flying eagle embroidered on his belt, his eyes were like stars, his lips were red, and he looked over slowly. The cold wind passed between them, carrying a faint chill, the man's eyes were as cold as ever, without a trace of emotion. This man seemed to be like this all the time, as cold as a sculpture. Chu Qiao slowly took two steps back, looking at the man in front of her with a calm expression, as if she had never known her before. The early spring wind blew up the dust from many years ago, and shuttled through the icy air.Then, they shifted their gazes to each other at the same time, looked in front of each other, staggered past each other, and walked straight forward. From beginning to end, they have never been on the same path. Even if fate occasionally arranges a teasing encounter, it can only be a brief encounter, and then pass by each other, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​stars along their respective tracks like meteors. . Zhuge Yue suddenly remembered that night many years ago, the old man with white beard and hair was standing in the bleak maple forest, his back was shabby, and his clothes were flying like flying clothes. "Master, why me?" "No reason." The old man's face was old, and his voice could not hide the vicissitudes of life: "Because there are some things, if you don't take it, no one will take it. Child, you were born in a family, and you have your own responsibilities." "Master," a man dressed as a palace servant came forward and said in a deep voice, "Everything is ready." In the dense bamboo forest, the dark red clothes moved with the wind, Zhuge Yue's brows were furrowed, but he remained silent for a long time.The weather was not hot, but the servant was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. After about half a stick of incense, Zhuge Yue finally nodded and said, "Go." The cold wind rolled back, and the Holy Gold Palace was filled with blood. As soon as she walked to the front hall, she saw figures shuttle back and forth, a large piece of Zijin flowers were placed on the square, and Yan Xun, who was tall and tall, was waiting for her in the distance. Chu Qiao walked two steps quickly, Yan Xun also saw her, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and walked over. "Qiao Qiao!" Li Ce also stood aside, wearing a bright red costume, and waved vigorously at Chu Qiao. Before Chu Qiao's disgusted expression spread, a sharp bell rang through the entire palace, and everyone raised their heads in horror, looking towards the direction of Xiefang Palace. "There are assassins! The queen is dead!" The eunuch's sharp voice sounded like a death knell with tears spreading throughout the square of the front hall. Everyone suddenly turned pale in shock. The guards in black military uniforms shuttled between the palaces, and the dense guards rushed towards the slope where the incident happened. In the direction of Fangdian, the people in the square were stunned for a long time, and suddenly there was a cry out of nowhere, and then a large crowd was stunned, and the cry echoed in the sky above the Holy Gold Palace. Empress Nayun of the Muhe family was born in the Muhe clan, the head of the seven great clans in the past. She entered the palace at the age of thirteen and ascended to the throne at the age of thirty. Chu Qiao's face turned pale immediately, she raised her head to look at Yan Xun, but saw the same panic in the other's eyes. At this moment, that chaotic palace was exactly where she had just walked.If the assassination had been carried out a moment earlier, she would not have stood here alive! The death knell rang continuously, with nine dull tolls, all walking and standing soldiers, court ladies, and eunuchs.Or the princes and ministers, civil and military officials, all turned back to look at the harem, and suddenly paid homage, the Ouchi Imperial Palace was dead silent, and even the noisy front hall lost its sound for a while, the bells and drums stopped for a moment, and then they rang again, the sound was even louder . So, first there was one person, then two people, ten people, hundreds of people, and thousands of people, all of them knelt down together, and kowtowed in the direction of Xiefang Hall. Chu Qiao opened her mouth, but couldn't speak. She immediately thought of the fierce woman who represented the Muhe clan, who was at the back and had almost controlled half of the Great Xia for ten years. The words: The queen of Daxia can only be me, Mu Henayun. I used to be, I am now, and I will be in the future. The words are still in the ear, but the person is dead.What kind of terrible blade is hidden in this seemingly glamorous palace? A huge howling sound pierced the sky immediately, and came from afar outside the Zijin Gate.
