Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

King Xuan's face was ashen, Weiwei was so frightened that she was about to collapse and yelled, a tall and powerful man in black slammed from behind, and immediately fell unconscious, the prince opposite King Xuan stood up in fright. Standing in front of me was a woman in palace makeup that I had never seen before. She looked about forty years old, but her appearance was beautiful and dignified, and she was well-maintained. Her black hair was oozing with snow-white traces, but the pile of clouds was combed extremely Decent and elegant, the jade face is covered with extremely white powder, the eyebrows are slender, and the depiction is exquisite, the forehead is covered with peony tinsel, and the red lips are slightly dark red. It is the cherry makeup popular in the palace. She only wears a purplish red silk skirt , but feel that the whole body is graceful and luxurious.

Behind her stood an old eunuch with fierce eyes, and the man in black who attacked Weiwei and me. The prince said excitedly: "Mother, why are you here?" The prince had a mustache, handsome appearance, but a slightly thin body, and his Adam's apple was extremely prominent. On his thin face, his eyes looked a little too big, and they were flushed. He looked at me nervously, with a trace of fear: "Who are you and where did you come from?" The noble lady sneered: "This lady has been eavesdropping for a long time, but you and your guards didn't notice it, so stupid."

Because that person hit my old wound on my chest and abdomen, I held my wound and panted for a long time, finally sat up on the ground, and someone helped me, so I climbed up with difficulty, looked up , It turned out to be King Xuan. "It's great that you're back, you're not in vain the one he likes," he sighed, and helped me stand upright: "It's a pity that you came back late." After all, ignore me again, then knelt down and gave a big gift: "I have seen the empress." "My son has heard that Jinyang has been close to Di customs since ancient times, and he is good at martial arts. He is known as Jinyang's many heroes since ancient times. The women in Jinyang are really hot and spicy," Xuan'er said lightly, "The queen is nearly half a hundred years old, and the royal family is weak. Although he is not of quality, but he can ride a horse thousands of miles from Xindu to Xijing, he is really the husband of a middle-aged woman.”

Queen Wang smiled gently: "Xu'er, you are always better at talking than Fu'er. In fact, when I was a child, I always hoped that Fu'er would be like you and get more love from your father." King Xuan sneered coldly: "When I was young, I respected the queen as my mother, and I also had my mother's knees with my brother Chenghuan. Why does my mother hate my son so much?" Empress Wang seemed to think of King Xuan's appearance when she was young, and sighed: "I still remember that you had acne when you were young, and sister Kong cried like tears. Gong personally took care of you, you were so cute when you were a child, and then you grew up by my side for a long time, and you always called me Queen Mother, and almost didn’t even recognize Concubine Kong.”

"At that time, the queen mother loved her children very much." King Xuan nodded. "Yuan Li is the jewel in the palm of my elder brother Jinyang's Jiedu Envoy, with an extraordinary status. Back then, the emperor proposed marriage, and this palace readily agreed, but Yuan Li came here frequently crying and complaining that you often sleep with flowers and sleep in willows, openly inviting prostitutes." "You betrothed Yuanli, the closest niece of your relatives, to Erchen. At that time, Erchen was very grateful. It's a pity that she has a noble background, but she doesn't have a noble heart. Do you know the peonies planted in Erchen's back garden? Why is it so prosperous?"

Wang Huang was surprised and said: "Yuan Li personally takes care of the flowers of the Xuanyuan family? Naturally, I do my best, what's wrong?" "Because all the bones buried below are all the concubines that Yuan Li tortured and killed! Yuan Li practiced martial arts since she was a child, and sometimes she even whipped them herself. She deliberately made people bury these women in the back garden where I often go. , just to remind the servants not to touch other women, sometimes in a hurry, she would even slap the servants herself, the queen must have heard about it often." King Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Liguo is a relative of the queen, so she is usually vicious."

I was horrified to hear that this princess was three points better than the rumors outside, and even surpassed Jun Mowen's vicious wife with purple pupils. Queen Wang elegantly covered the corners of her mouth and laughed loudly: "This child really acts a bit like me." "The thing that chills me most is that every time she makes trouble for no reason, she goes to the queen's palace to cry and tell the queen everything she does. Afterwards, I finally understand that the queen married the most suspicious niece in the family to my son. , just to monitor the sons and ministers, as expected, blood is thicker than water, in the heart of the queen mother, for the sake of the elder brother, the queen mother can even poison the other princes behind the father's back."

"Boldly proclaim the king, dare to speak unruly to the queen." The eunuch behind the queen shouted fiercely. "Hey, Changfu." Queen Wang smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang's days are numbered, let him talk." "Your original intention was to let the dark men who picked Mo Yin rush into Ziyuan to rescue Mrs. Huaxi and Mo Yin. The uncle who didn't know the truth would kill Mo Yin in a fit of anger, and my son and minister would also plot together because of Mo Yin Ni, either died in the chaos army, or was gifted to death by uncle and father."

"Well said, he is really a smart child, as smart as your mother." Queen Wang said kindly, but she couldn't see the gloomy eyes clearly under her kind eyebrows. "But now that Mrs. Huaxi has returned, it must be that the black people in Feibai also know the trick, but they don't know how to play the Queen's game next?" King Xuan smiled lightly. Empress Wang sighed: "Silly boy, since Master Huaxi didn't break into the Purple Garden to assassinate King Wu'an for Mrs. Huaxi, then you can only do it." "Listen?" Queen Wang gently put her hands on her ears, smiling, and I did hear the sound of killing: "Someone has already broken into the Savior of the Purple Garden, and that should be your dragon guard." .”

King Xuan's handsome face suddenly changed color: "Impossible, I came alone, with only thirty dragon guards, and without my tiger talisman, who would dare to make a mistake." Queen Wang smiled as before: "It's true that it's not the dragon guards you brought with you, but the three thousand soldiers you left in Luoyang. Although they don't have your tiger talisman, Princess Xuan came in person, who would dare not listen. " "What? Yuanli?" "Have you forgotten, she comes from a family of warlords, so she naturally knows how to lead troops to fight," Queen Wang sighed, "Although she is very jealous, she loves you like jewels. You really misunderstood her , She heard that you are in good health, so she personally brought three thousand dragon guards and one thousand soldiers who were married to her as a dowry."

"This is a foolish and foolish woman," King Xuan sweated profusely, scolding the stupid woman again and again, his face became paler, and suddenly he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood. I hurriedly helped him to sit back in the chair, anxiously thinking about the countermeasures. This queen has a good reputation and doesn't want to act so viciously. The prince laughed wildly from the side: "cousin Yuanli is so cute, Ben Xu is really blessed. Back then, the king asked his mother to marry him, and now the king understands why his mother didn't agree with his son, but instead married cousin Yuanli to her son." you." I looked at Queen Wang and said: "Your Majesty the Queen has no purpose to come to Xijing in person, to fight with one's back, I don't know why?" Queen Wang glanced at me, and said calmly: "Good question, when you have a child, maybe you will understand how a mother feels, I can accept any harm, but I cannot allow my child to be deprived of the crown prince. " King Xuan sneered: "The monarch is incompetent, and the country will inevitably perish. With the qualifications of the prince, even if the queen helps him ascend the throne and returns to the capital, sooner or later the Yuan clan will destroy him. In fact, the queen wants to be the emperor herself. " Queen Wang smiled and didn't answer, but the prince was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped King Xuan: "You traitor, you have never been my opponent since you were a child, how dare you deny it?" The old eunuch took out a small white bottle and said softly, "King Xuan's conspiracy was revealed, so he killed Mrs. Huaxi viciously, and then committed suicide in fear of crime. Let the slaves send King Xuan on his way." I couldn't believe it, the man in black had already hit my celestial cap like the wind, I moved my right wrist at the same time and shot out the protective brocade, the man in black flashed lightly, and he grabbed my throat like a shooting star. "Wait a minute," King Xuan said with a gloomy expression, "I beg my mother to answer the last question of my son before she kills the two of us." King Xuan looked into Queen Wang's eyes and asked, "Why didn't my concubine mother and the little princess escape from Zhaoming Palace with everyone, she was obviously with the queen." Empress Wang's eyes flashed a hint of sternness, and her kind face instantly turned cold: "Changfu, why don't you send King Xuan on his way?" The hand of the man in black began to tighten, and I was about to wave my reward, when a silver arrow flew towards the man in black like an arrow from the string, and it hit the man in black's hand, blood flowed profusely from the man's wrist immediately, That hand was useless at that time. "Wait a minute, I also want to know the answer." There was an old voice, and two people slowly turned out from behind the curtain. One was an old man in his sixties, dressed in the five-clawed dragon satin robe of the Emperor Ming, walking slowly and with dim eyes. Everyone was stunned, it was the current emperor Dezong Tongyuan Qingjiang?Everyone even forgot to salute. After a long time, King Xuan came to his senses first, tried his best to kneel down with me, and gave a deep salute: "I have seen my emperor, I have seen my uncle." The door of the Shangxin Pavilion was opened wide, and there was a person with phoenix eyes, like a bright moon in the sky, wearing a strong suit, blood splattered all over his body: "I have seen my emperor, father, all the traitors have been killed." Right and wrong, I let out a long breath in my heart, and Feibai's eyes also swept towards me, seeing that I was standing upright, his eyes seemed relieved. King Xuan asked in surprise: "Where is the traitor? Yuanli, she..." "Returning to King Xuan, it is the iron guards brought by the queen, and they have all been executed," Yuan Feibai replied loudly, "Prince Xuan brought three thousand dragon guards and one thousand Wang's armored guards to protect the emperor, and is repairing the front hall. , come here, please rest assured King Xuan." King Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.Pride was evident in his eyes.Just when everyone was stunned, the man in black leaped up like a beast and attacked King Xuan. Shen Changzong, who was behind Feibai, had already met him in the air. He was shocked to death by Shen Changzong. Empress Wang couldn't bear it for a while: "Qiaoer." Tears flowed from those eyes, washing away the powder at the corners of the eyes, revealing deep wrinkles and sadness. She Shi Shiran walked over, took out the juan handkerchief in her hand, and covered the face of the man in black.Then straightened his clothes, walked up to Dezong, and made a big salute: "The concubine has seen the emperor." Dezong raised his head and looked at the queen for a long time. After a while, he walked over and helped her up. The eunuch of Changfu knelt down to the queen, kowtowed his head, and wept calmly: "The old slave has served the queen all his life, and he has not had time to repay the master. I bid farewell today. I only hope that I will repay the master's great kindness in the next life." .” After finishing speaking, he stood up and said in a loud voice: "Everything that happened today was done by Changfu alone to coerce the queen and queen, and has nothing to do with the imperial family." Shuo Guan slammed into a pillar and died, blood splashing all over the room. Queen Wang closed her eyes in pain, her wide sleeves lightly covered the corners of her lips, she let the tears flow, but she didn't make any sound. "Yuanqing," Dezong sighed, "bring the children down, I want to have a few words with the empress." Yuan Qingjiang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Please move the prince and King Xuan." The prince had already fainted from fright on the ground, the crotch of his trousers was wet a lot, so he had to be carried out. Yuan Qingjiang looked at me again, with a flash of approval in his eyes: "There are very few women in Xifengyuan, this king thinks that this girl is probably useless, so you stay and serve the emperor, I don't know what the emperor wants? " A strange color flashed across Feibai's face, and I also felt very strange. I thought Emperor Dezong would refuse, but I didn't expect him to just wave to me: "Hijin, come here, help me sit down." A few younger soldiers came over, dragged away Changfu's body, and wiped the floor. I helped Emperor Dezong sit down, and the queen was still standing. Dezong sighed: "When you were fleeing, you suffered a lot. Your legs are ill, you must be exhausted from traveling in the starry night, please sit down, Mr. Xiang." Queen Wang wiped her tears lightly, bowed her knees as a salute, and sat gently opposite Dezong. At this time, the moonlight was shining lightly, and the starry sky outside the window was full of stars. Dezong looked at the deep night sky and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, it's so nice to see the starry sky tonight. I still remember that you liked to look at the stars when you were young." "Your Majesty still remembers." The Empress Wang's eyes blurred for a while, "Your Majesty hasn't called my concubine by name for a long time." "Xiang Jun, do you still remember the first time we met?" Dezong said softly, "I didn't recognize you at that time, I just thought you were standing by the cross bridge, and you were as beautiful as the fairy in the painting. Send someone to find out who this lady is, and only then did I know that you are the eldest daughter of the famous Wang family in Jinyang, named Xiangjun, the character of a female worker, and the number one in the clan, with a kind nature, only loves to be vegetarian in her life, and does not like to kill , you love watching the stars the most. Because you once said that all wishes made by shooting stars can come true.” Queen Wang burst into tears, and her smile became more gentle: "Your Majesty is a descendant of the Xuanyuan God Clan. I don't want Shenji Camp to investigate my concubines so clearly. No wonder Your Majesty always loved to watch the stars with my concubines when I was young." "But you never told me what your wish is?" "That's because His Majesty never asked." "Oh," Dezong nodded, and said lightly, "Then I'm asking now, would you like to answer?" "The concubine hopes that His Majesty will be in good health, that his wish will be fulfilled, that he will kill the sinus thief, and protect the country." Dezong nodded again: "The queen is indeed virtuous. Since she is helping the country, why did she assassinate King Xuan?" "That's because His Majesty is no longer willing to watch the stars with his concubine since he met Sister Kong, and he never hugged Fuer again." Dezong lowered his old eyes lightly, "Is it just for this? So you left her and Rui'er on purpose?" The two chatted peacefully all the time, asking and answering politely, without any anger or hatred, only elegant sighs and deep sadness. "The concubine didn't want to abandon Sister Kong, but Sister Kong wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate the concubine." Queen Wang looked up at Dezong, and said confidently: "She didn't know that the concubine practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she kicked her out of the carriage. And Princess Rui jumped down with her mother, and the concubine didn't have time to stop her." "Why don't you ever tell me about it?" "Because His Majesty no longer has time to listen to his concubines, and His Majesty only thinks about the country. In the face of the hatred of the country and the family, the concubines and Concubine Kong are too young." "So you hate her so much, do you hate me?" "No, Your Majesty, even if Sister Kong took away all of His Majesty's affection and co-operated with other wives to tease my concubines behind His Majesty's back, this concubine has never hated her or His Majesty. Your Majesty is the person I love the most. After all, she brought joy to His Majesty on behalf of the concubine, but Xu'er grew up with Ben Fu, and the concubine treats her as her own. You asked the concubine to marry her niece to Xu'er, but Xu'er was a little I don't cherish it either, all I want to do is to replace Benfu's seat." "Concubine Kong can hurt me, but she can't hurt my child," Queen Wang raised her head proudly, her eyes glaring sharply. "Your Majesty wants King Wu'an to establish Fei Bai as his heir, and that is to help Xu'er ascend to the crown prince. Your Majesty may not love concubines, or even abolish them, but he cannot take Fu'er's crown prince, because Xu'er becomes the crown prince. Fu'er and I will have no way out." "Xu'er and I have always been close, even if Xu'er is the crown prince and his biological mother has passed away, he still respects you as the empress dowager, and I will leave a will to Minister Gu Ming, Taking care of you two, why are you worried?" The queen took a step back, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deeply wrinkled, and said with a sad smile: "Sure enough, it was Xu'er who conspired with Yuan Feibai, the emperor changed King Xuan to be the crown prince, no matter what, I don't regret it today, if I succeed today, Mr. Treading Snow Once he dies, King Wu An will lose an arm after all, so Fu'er can sit back and relax." "And Mrs. Huaxi, who would have thought that such an ordinary-looking person has a powerful lover, Prince Duan of Dali, and behind him is an incomparably rich Jun family group," she sneered, "The original family How many terrifying aliens are there? In my opinion, this Mrs. Huaxi is absolutely extraordinary, and it would be a big mistake to keep it today." "Shut up," Dezong suddenly raised his head, and shouted at the queen in a cold voice, the veins on his forehead were bruised for a long time: "Silly Xiangjun, why don't you understand until now, then who is Yuanqing? You are so easily manipulated by you. I pretended to make Yuan Qing the son of Feibai, but I just wanted to test Yuan Qing's tone. You have harmed me by doing this. Think about this bottle of dead medicine for Who prepared it? It's for you."
