Soft-boned beauty, isn't he fragrant?

At the entrance of the sleeping hall, Jiang Luo couldn't believe what he saw.

Since she became pregnant, she felt that her relationship with her husband has become much closer. Today, she made a pot of soup with her own hands, hoping to surprise others with joy, but in the end, she gave herself an unparalleled shock.

Her gentle, refined, dedicated and devoted husband, whom she has been looking up to and admired wholeheartedly since she was a child, is lying under another man with a flushed face at this moment, with a face that she has never seen before, and has never thought of before. happy look.

She suspected that this was a nightmare. If not, why would she not be able to control her whole body? She couldn’t close her eyes or move her feet. sound.

Finally, strength and mind slowly returned to her body, she screamed hysterically, and dropped the ginseng soup in her hand.

When he was in a daze, the back of his neck suddenly felt cold, and he couldn't help but fell limp.

Cui Chenglin lightly caught the empress who was about to fall to the ground, and glanced at her bloody skirt, screaming inwardly.

He had hidden the matter for so many years, but Jiang Luo bumped into him at the scene for a small negligence today.

Looking up at the dragon bed, the bodies of the two people were still connected, but they were too stiff to move, especially His Majesty, the color of shame flashed in panic, and then quickly turned into deep indifference.

He carefully put down Jiang Luo in his hand, and with a flash of his figure, he dealt with the fake servant behind Xiao Zhi first, then turned around and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, this old servant will be punished! I thought someone broke into the palace and chased him for a few steps, but I didn't expect ...I didn't expect the Empress...You had an agreement with her before, not to step into the Taiji Palace at will, and you have always obeyed it all these years. This old slave really didn't expect...Please be lenient!"

Xiao Zhi sat up expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard it. He was haunted by the pool of blood that had started to gather under the queen at the moment, and he couldn't think of the issue of accountability.

After a while, he asked faintly: "Da Companion, I can't keep my child? How can she be so fragile?"

Although Cui Chenglin touched Jiang Luo's dizziness point in a hurry, he did it with great measure and would not hurt the fetus in his womb. The current situation was clearly caused by excessive fright. After hesitating for a moment, he replied:

"If the imperial doctor is called here at this time, there should still be a chance to save it, but the empress has already been smashed, and the reaction is so severe, once she wakes up, I'm afraid she won't let it go...Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Have you promised Yuen Long's oath?"

"... Yuen Long?"

The name reverberated in his heart, making Xiao Zhi's ears ringing. He originally wanted to vent after taking the medicine, but now he was stimulated by drugs and fear, and it was more like falling into a fog. It seemed that he saw the young man who was thinking of him again.

Ren Yuanlang, Cui Chenglin's nephew, his former personal bodyguard, was the only one he had put on top of his heart since the beginning of his love affair.

Such an upright and heroic person, no matter how he hinted, he would stick to his duty, evading and rejecting him time and time again, and thought that the two of them would only be servants forever, but until he knew the truth of his life experience That night, when he lost his mind and couldn't help brandishing a knife to self-mutilate, he realized how deep that person's love for him was.

Not only did it respond to his lovesickness for many years, but it also had the most perfect first night with him, completely saving him from panic and inferiority complex. The heart-pounding feeling made him experience the beauty of being alive for the first time in his life.

But in the early morning of the second day, when he began to look forward to the future with joy, his Yuen Long, without hesitation, pierced his heart with a short knife, and he will always remember the words before he left. Never forgotten.

How gentle is that look, how cruel are the words that are confided.

"You are the future emperor, and you must be the emperor in order to keep the secret of your life experience. The emperor is the supreme being in the world, and no one can be above you, even me... I can't do it either. I want you to promise me, except uncle In addition, anyone who sees this side will definitely not be able to see the sun the next day, no matter how much they like in the future..."

So what if he is the emperor?Still unable to regain her lover's determination to die, she could only cry until she finally agreed at the top of her lungs.It was such an oath that was engraved in his bones at the cost of his life for the purpose of protecting his dignity, how dare he forget it!Where will I forget?

Resting his mind, he put on a silk robe very slowly, and Xiao Zhi walked up to Jiang Luo and stared at him coldly, just staring at him without saying a word.

……

At midnight, the palace gate was about to be locked, Chu Gui in the side hall of Cihui Palace finally waited for Xiao Qi, and was about to go back to the mansion hand in hand, when suddenly a palace official trotted into the inner hall, the anxious expression on his face was close to panic After a while, Jiang Wan hurriedly drove to Kunning Palace, followed by Zhong Lin with a large group of palace people in a chaotic posture.

Chu Gui and Xiao Qi met each other's eyes, they were both a little puzzled, but in such a situation, outsiders like them couldn't intervene, so they could only temporarily leave the palace with doubts.

After leaving Dingding City, Chu Gui spoke first: "Why is the Empress Dowager calling you?"

"It's nothing important. It should be because I heard about my situation in Beiyuan, and I have been talking side-by-side for a long time. It's just that I'm afraid that my wings will become stiff, and it will hinder the Jiang family and the emperor."

After Xiao Qi finished answering, his complexion was unavoidably complicated. In his eyes, the Jiang family and Xiao Zhi had become complete enemies, but the Empress Dowager Jiang Wan, after all, had the kindness of protecting and nurturing him, otherwise, he would not have come out. He should have been treated as a threat since he was a baby.

But it is such a woman who not only failed her father's full affection for her, but also boldly confused the royal blood. As a descendant of the Xiao family, he couldn't help feeling disgusted, so every time he met, he fell into a trap. In the contradictions and entanglements, one can imagine the depressed mood.

Chu Gui could sense it naturally, leaned on his right shoulder softly, squeezed his fingers into the opponent's palm and interlocked his fingers.

Xiao Qi shook it back, then pecked lightly on the top of his hair, and asked, "What about you? After waiting for so long, no one made things difficult for you, right?"

Without hesitation, Chu Gui recounted the encounter before him, and deliberately emphasized the tall and handsome servant he saw at that time.

"Is it so handsome that it's not enough to make you unforgettable at first sight, and you actually praised it in front of your husband?" Xiao Qi didn't think too much for a while, and teased with a little sourness.

Chu Gui let out a "tsk", not bothering to argue with him, and pointed out the main point: "Don't you understand? I mean, that person gave me the same feeling as Zhong Lin, not like an eunuch at all. Then I Curiously chasing after him, there is no one on duty in the back hall of the Taiji Palace, as if the guards were dismissed deliberately so that the man could enter the palace."

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then various speculations came to his mind. After a brief analysis, the most likely one among them made him a little unbelievable.

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Chu Gui said to himself: "You say it's strange, why did you dismiss the guards? If according to my guess, a male favorite is summoned, he is an emperor, even if he is a good man." There is nothing to blame, as for being so careful and sneaky?

Heh, I used to think that his husband and wife were deeply in love, but they had such strong tastes, and they didn't want to show it clearly, and they liked to steal it. Poor Queen, the most beautiful woman in the world, not only became the same wife, but also took the burden of being the only one. title. "

When the queen was mentioned, Chu Gui recalled the panic before leaving the palace. They had heard the news that the queen was happy since they returned from Beiyuan. This was somewhat detrimental to Xiao Qi's great cause. How did you plan, if you want to achieve your goal, you must fight for the throne, right?"

This is the first time that the two of them have talked about this matter directly. Xiao Qi woke up from his contemplation and answered clearly:

"Yes, Mingzheng can speak well, and it is imperative to expose the lies about his life experience. After Ji Xing and Xiong Liang, the commanders of the Northern Expedition Army, return to the mansion, they will start to act. At that time, Wuming will go to Yinmai to retrieve it. According to the edict, Lord Zongzheng will gather the elders of the clan so that we can confront him in court."

It was simple to say, but Chu Gui knew that it would never be so easy in reality, and he didn't bother to ask about the detailed methods involved. He only counted the talent value of force, so he could just be a personal soldier at his side with peace of mind.

This peace of mind only lasted until midnight.

At Yinshi, Chu Gui, who was supposed to be in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. Just as he turned over and sat up, Xiao Qi beside him also woke up suddenly. Surrounded, it's the Imperial Guard."

Not only the imperial guards, Chu Gui sensed the huge aura sweeping towards the mansion, and it was clearly Chief Cui who came in person.

The army of the Northern Expedition has not yet been dispatched, and they have not made any moves at all. How could they be suddenly killed for no reason?All three of them were a little surprised.

There was no time to think too much, after changing clothes, Xiao Qi was going to ask him face to face.

The door opened, and Cui Chenglin, who was dressed in a blue forged brocade robe and a cage crown, sat quietly on his shoulders, surrounded by guards, and there were crowds of people in the firelight, and the exact number could not be distinguished. The ready-to-strike state of winding.

"Director Cui, you came here uninvited in the middle of the night. Could it be that the emperor's elder brother has no sleep at night and wants to call me into the palace to talk with him for a few rounds?" Xiao Qi asked calmly.

Cui Chenglin nodded slightly, symbolically counting it as a salute, and said coldly: "The family came to arrest the assassin today, and I have a heavy responsibility, so I really have no time to joke with the prince."

Xiao Qi's face darkened: "Assassin? When did the palace have another assassin? Besides, do you need to surround my mansion like an iron barrel to catch an assassin? Director Cui, I'm afraid you have to explain it to me!"

Cui Chenglin glanced at Chu Gui, "So that the lord knows that the pet next to you, Oiran Chonglou, is an assassin. The empress was so frightened by him in the imperial garden today that she fainted, and even lost her stomach because of it." Emperor's heir.

Even if this person is punished by a thousand swords, I am afraid that the pain of losing his son will not be relieved. I advise the prince not to have any intention of hindering him. It attracts people's suspicion. "

Shocked expression filled Xiao Qi's face, and he glanced back unconsciously, while Chu Gui shook his head angrily at him slightly.

He had never seen a half woman in the imperial garden, wandered around from the emperor's bedroom and returned to the side hall of Cihui Palace and didn't go anywhere. Besides, he didn't have any serious hatred with the empress, let alone a pregnant woman. This was really a big cauldron that fell from the sky, and sparks shot out of his eyes.

The glance that Xiao Zhi turned around was originally unintentional, and now he got the hint even more confidently, turned around, and asked: "There is no proof, what about the evidence?"
