After the big guy wears the abusive text

The forbidden soldier who was bitten by her wrinkled his face to protect his arm, and there were two rows of teeth marks on his wrist, which faintly oozes blood, which shows how much effort Ci Ke exerted.

"Miss Zhou, we are also ordered by the Holy Majesty to picket the rest of the rebellious party, and please don't delay, Miss Zhou!" the forbidden soldier insisted.

Ye Youqing was unprepared and didn't open his mouth for a moment. He subconsciously supported Ci Ke, and heard her words resoundingly: "Ms. Chen is a weak woman. What does she have to do with the rebellious party? Your Majesty personally invited the distinguished guests back to the capital to forgive you for being so disrespectful?"

When Ci Ke raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, he was quite cold and stern, and the forbidden soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, a little embarrassed.

Ci Ke didn't care about their reaction, touched Ye Youqing with his backhand and clenched his five fingers, pushed away the forbidden soldiers blocking the way, strode out of the wall, and left the crowd, someone stretched out his hand to stop him, but was pulled back by his companions, shaking his head Said to let them go.

"Miss Zhou is right. Even if the rebellious party cooperates internally and externally, it will not find a girl who is helpless." Another forbidden soldier said, turned and continued to search others.

And Ci Ke dragged Ye Youqing all the way and walked quickly until he walked through a few streets and returned to the wide Royal Street, then stopped, bent over and panted.

Ye Youqing also stopped with her and looked around. Officers and soldiers searched the street along the way. From time to time, fast horses galloped past, raising waves of dust.

Ye Youqing pulled Ci Ke to the side of the road, stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her mouth, Ci Ke spat on the ground a few times, and his eyebrows twitched into a ball.

"What?" Ye Youqing lowered his head in concern.

"Salty." Ci Ke looked disgusted, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, Ye Youqing couldn't help laughing.

Another fast horse passed by, Ye Youqing hurriedly pulled Ci Ke, and the two of them pressed their backs against the wall, grabbing the flying smoke.

"Did you hear what they said just now?" Ci Ke looked at the horses going away, and said seriously, "Why is it so sudden?"

"I heard." Ye Youqing replied, she also didn't expect this, although she was the one who came up with the idea, she never thought that the prince would be so generous and dare to rebel in front of his father.

From this point of view, the emperor seems to have been prepared and did not let him succeed.

The prince's failure is actually a good thing for Ye Youqing. After all, the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's benefit, which is equivalent to getting rid of a serious problem without a single soldier.

The noise and chaos in the street turned into a pot of porridge, Ye Youqing feared that there would be more danger, so he sent Ci Ke all the way to the gate of Zhou Mansion, just when he met Zhou Hong who hurried out with his clothes on, the three of them almost crashed into a ball.

Seeing Ci Ke, Zhou Hong felt relieved, leaned back against the door frame, stroked his chest, sighed, and thanked Ye Youqing a few times.

"Fortunately, the girl was by her side. I heard this just now, and almost scared me out of my wits." Zhou Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The emperor urgently summoned all the officials to enter the palace, and I have to go."

"Do you know the whole story?" Ye Youqing asked.

Zhou Hong scratched his head: "I don't know much about it either. I only heard from the person who informed me just now that the crown prince secretly removed the guards around him and planned to strike while the emperor was asleep. I never thought that the emperor had already prepared and there were people hiding in a darker place." Reverse the army and kill all the people who brought the prince away."

"Now that the crown prince has been taken to prison for interrogation, one can imagine the crime of regicide." Zhou Hong showed a strange expression.

Ye Youqing nodded, stretched out his hand to push Ci Ke over the threshold, and Ci Ke pulled her clothes with his backhand, finally seeing Ye Youqing, she was quite reluctant to part.

Ye Youqing looked at her, and said in a warm voice: "Just wait for me for a few more days, and it will be soon."

"It's dangerous outside, and the emperor is the most suspicious during the extraordinary period, and I can't disappear for too long." Ye Youqing said patiently.

Ci Ke let go of his hand: "I know, I've been waiting for two years, why are you still afraid of these few days?"

Ye Youqing smiled: "I have seen your painting, have you read my letter?"

"Dozens of letters, like a gunpowder bag." Ci Ke said with disgust, but his eyes were curved, "I read one letter every day, and it can last for a long time."

Ye Youqing couldn't help smiling, and while no one suddenly lowered his head, he kissed Ci Ke's cheek superficially, and Zhou Hong, who was beside him, said "Hey Yo", and turned his back with a blushing face: "Pay attention to etiquette."

Ci Ke stretched out his hand to push him, pushing Zhou Hong staggeringly.

There were officers and soldiers running across the long street behind him, Ye Youqing backed away, took one last look at Ci Ke, turned around and disappeared in the alleys extending in all directions.

This night in Bianjing was never quiet, people kept running through the imperial street, or kicking horseshoes, officers and soldiers went from house to house to search, all suspicious people were dragged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for questioning, the city was full of panic.

The rebellion even involved many courtiers, and those who were too close to the prince were dragged into prisons for torture.

The prince's accomplice was beheaded in public at noon the next day, and his head was removed and hung on the city gate for public display. For several days, the capital was filled with the stench of blood, and there were few people on the streets. The smell dissipated.

The chief culprit, the crown prince, was favored by the emperor on weekdays because of his royal status. He was bestowed to death secretly by the East Palace, and was buried with royal ceremonies after his death. After the crown prince died, the matter gradually subsided.

However, everyone knows that the surface is calm, but the wind and rain are actually hidden.

The only thing that went well was the battle at the border. The Qi army fought back vigorously and took back most of the lost cities, while Xixia retreated steadily. When the news spread to the capital, many people rejoiced.

But at the same time, there are dangers. Because of years of wars, the refugees in the north have long been complaining. They have no land to grow and no food to eat. Famine and plague alone have killed a large number of people. The uprising has become a large team.

At first, the imperial court didn't take it seriously, because generally speaking, the uprising of the people is nothing serious. step closer.

It wasn't until the rebellious army went all the way south and approached the capital that the imperial court realized the danger and sent the imperial army to suppress it. However, the troops in the capital were insufficient, so they had to urgently dispatch troops from all over the country to the north to block the delay in the north of the capital and wait for the border army to return. North Korea, repression.

Fighting and scrambling on one side, turmoil on the other side, every time he went to court, although the emperor was still majestic, his body was visibly thinner. However, the emperor blocked his illness from the outside world, and no one knew what his health was like and how long he could last.

But as the spring became stronger and the vegetation was luxuriant, news came from the palace that the Holy Majesty had found a famous doctor and his condition had recovered.

At the same time, the birthday of the Empress Dowager is approaching again, and the palace is gradually spreading joy, diluting the haze that has shrouded the capital for a long time. Seeing that the palace sends out posts inviting all the courtiers to enter the palace as in previous years, people believe in the emperor's health even more. As things get better, people's hearts gradually settle down.

The sky is clear in all directions, and the petals falling from nowhere are blown across the palace wall, fluttering over the lush branches, and float into the opened window. The woman standing in front of the window stretches out her palm, and the petals fall into her palm.

The woman is a little too weak, and this sickness can no longer be covered up with lead, even if the lips are painted bright red, the paleness can be seen through the lip balm.

The woman was dressed in a dark purple dress, which made her look much calmer and more solemn. The two scarves on her shoulders glowed with a faint silver light in the sunlight. Even the clothes that were ordered to be made recently were already too big, making it look empty under the clothes. of.

Chunhong on the side was holding hot tea in her hand, and looked at her worriedly: "Your Majesty is not in good health, it is better to report illness for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in a few days."

Zhou Ziqiu didn't speak, she just watched the petals fall from her palm, and she turned her hand aside for a moment, letting the petals disappear.

"Is the emperor's health really improving?" Zhou Ziqiu asked.

Chunhong bowed her head and replied: "The servant overheard when passing by the imperial hospital, it should be true."

"Your Majesty, why don't you give up, your body can't hold on any longer." Chun Hong burst into tears.

Zhou Ziqiu pursed his lips, his flaming red lips were extremely dazzling, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and he smiled sarcastically: "It's too late to give up now."

She withdrew her eyes and walked into the dark room, step by step calmly, the door was knocked, and someone outside said: "Your Majesty, miss Chen please see me."

"Come in." Zhou Ziqiu said.

A few petals fell from Ye Youqing's shoulders, and she walked into the room slowly, watching Zhou Ziqiu stop and stand where she was.

"Long time no see, what are you doing blankly?" Zhou Ziqiu said with a smile, "Chunhong, serve tea to the girl."

"Don't bother." Ye Youqing said, she walked to Zhou Ziqiu, the door closed behind her, and the room became dark again, only a vertical light fell from the window, illuminating the smoke and dust in the air.

Zhou Ziqiu sat down in an armchair beside him, and said with a light smile, "Why did the girl enter the palace?"

"It's not that the noble concubine avoids seeing Ci Ke, and also doesn't see the sixth prince. The two of them were worried, and they passed the news to me. I had to sneak this trip by begging to see the emperor." Ye Youqing said , his figure remained in place, only his eyes were burning.

Zhou Ziqiu just smiled: "I have nothing to see."

She looked away from the door, and Ye Youqing said, "She just happens not to be in Beijing."

Zhou Ziqiu raised his eyebrows, and looked away indifferently.

"The noble concubine doesn't see Ci Ke, it's because of her body, I don't want them to see, I don't want them to worry?" Ye Youqing said straight to the point, but anyone with a brain will know what she is suffering after seeing Zhou Ziqiu's current appearance.

"It's a broken body, and I can't change it after looking at it." Zhou Ziqiu said, her phoenix eyes were hooked, and she raised her eyes to look at Ye Youqing, "Miss Ye said yes, you will protect Ci Ke."

Ye Youqing hummed.

"When did you plan to do it?" Ye Youqing asked, "Use yourself to poison him."

Zhou Ziqiu thought about it seriously, and then said: "I can't remember, but this is the only way I have left."

As she spoke, the tip of her nose was stained with a thin layer of red, showing a bit of joy and joy in her sick state: "Miss Ye don't need to persuade me."

"I didn't intend to persuade you, this is your choice, there is no right or wrong." Ye Youqing looked at her and said, "But you can stop."

"It's stopped a long time ago, he hasn't entered Qiushui Palace for a long time," Zhou Ziqiu said.

"Actually, I am very grateful to Ms. Ye." She said suddenly, got up slowly, walked up to Ye Youqing, and looked at her appearance, "Knowing that you are here, I don't have to worry about Ci Ke, and I don't have to worry about her."

"After I die, I hope she can live more freely, as she did back then."

Just like back then, he laughed loudly under the flying flowers all over the city, and rode his horse and raised his whip.
