Dai Ziling

Chapter 169 Protect him!

After a heavy rain, the night became even colder. After Xiangkun Palace was lifted, Concubine Jin moved back to her residence.Although he would often go to accompany the queen during the day, he would still return to himself at night.

It is common for people in the palace to worship the high and trample on the low. We all know that the queen and concubine Jin have lost their sacred hearts, the fourth prince has lost his military power, and the middle palace has lost power, let alone a concubine who has never been favored much... …

There are a total of three or two maids around, but they are more lazy and slippery than the other, and they still observe some rules in front of the queen, but when they returned to Concubine Jin's palace, they couldn't wait to retreat to rest.

Concubine Jin is no stranger to the coldness and warmth of human nature and the coldness of the world. She returned to the bedroom indifferently, took off the simple and ordinary hairpins on her head, and looked at the face in the bronze mirror that was no longer tight and delicate. A burst of inexplicable sadness.

Hearing the noise at the door, Concubine Jin thought it was some servant girl who found out with conscience, and came to ask if she had any orders, she gently took off her earrings, and said:

"Get some hot water."

After waiting for a while, there was no response from behind her. She smiled and shook her head, thinking that the door had been blown open by the wind, so she got up and wanted to check it out, but when she turned around, she saw a masked man in black sitting There, he was still playing with a sharp dagger in his hand.

Concubine Jin's feet softened, and she firmly supported the dressing table with both hands.She didn't open her mouth to ask who the other party was or what his purpose was.Because everything is too obvious, this person is here to kill himself.If you want to make yourself understand clearly, then you don't have to take the initiative to ask.

Sure enough, the man slowly tore off the veil, and said in a very cold tone: "Concubine Jin is so brave, to be so calm."

Standing up straight, Concubine Jin said: "Otherwise? Shouting? Then there may not be someone to take care of it. Since you can come in through the main entrance, you must know the situation here."

"Heh..." The man sneered and put the dagger on the table.

"You're right, no one will come to rescue you today. That's fine, then I'll make you understand!" The man in black paused, turned his head slowly, and said, "Xingwu, it's my brother. "

Concubine Jin thought for a while, this name is indeed familiar, it should be someone from her own palace, but she has been possessed by that Qin Rao for so many years, and she doesn't know the ins and outs of many things, it seems that today I want to be someone else The scapegoat.

Concubine Jin sighed, "Then what?"

The dagger on the table was popped out by Yue Lu with his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the bronze mirror.

Yue Lu stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Then? It's this time, do you still have to play dumb? He is loyal to you, and you kill him after you use him... I really can't see it, Empress Jin, Under such a harmless appearance, there is a heart of snake and scorpion hidden!"

At this time, Concubine Jin was completely speechless, maybe there was some misunderstanding; maybe it was really Qinrao's doing, but no matter what, now Qinrao has changed her ways, and she promised herself that she would definitely protect Teng Xuanyun.Compared with it, it is better for my incompetent mother to bear all this.

"Girl, it's useless to talk too much, I'm here, I want my life, just take it."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Jin slowly closed her eyes.

Concubine Jin's words and actions made Yue Lu believe even more in Teng Xuanchun's words, brother, it was really Concubine Jin who sent someone to kill him!
Recalling Xing Wu's death, Yue Lu was filled with grief and indignation, a pill fell from her sleeve into her palm, she stepped forward and opened Concubine Jin's mouth, stuffed the pill in, and then savaged Concubine Jin's heart. He slapped Concubine Jin hard, then pushed Concubine Jin to the ground.

"Hu vines and red alum, the full amount, Concubine Jin, you can enjoy it slowly! You must also experience the pain my brother has endured."

Boom!The door of the room was kicked open, Yue Lu turned his head slowly, only to see Qin Rao rushing in, and after seeing the scene in the room, he froze in place.

"Yo, I didn't expect, I didn't expect, it's so late, there are still customers in this place that doesn't shit."

Seeing a stream of blood slipping from the corner of Concubine Jin's mouth, Qin Rao's eyes instantly turned red: "Concubine Jin!"

She threw herself in front of Concubine Jin, almost breaking down in tears:

"Sorry I'm late! How are you...how are you? What did she do to you?"

Shaking her head weakly, Concubine Jin held Qin Rao's hand: "Silly boy, don't cry, I'm fine..."

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Concubine Jin's face turned pale.

Qin Rao wrapped her left arm around Concubine Jin's shoulders, and threw out a golden light with her right hand. Suddenly, Yue Lu was bound by a golden rope.

After struggling twice to find it was useless, Yue Lu sneered and said, "It's useless if you kill me, she's dead!"

Looking at Yue Lu's proud face, Qin Rao really didn't know whether to hate her or pity her.

There was another golden light, and Yue Lu fell to the ground, unable to move.

Qin Rao closed her eyes and began to send spiritual power to Concubine Jin. She could feel that Concubine Jin was poisoned. Although the chance of healing her with spiritual power was very slim, she had to try her best.

Tears couldn't stop flowing down, Qin Rao knew that Concubine Jin had borne everything for herself, she couldn't imagine how she would face Teng Xuanyun in the future, after all, Xingwu was sent by herself to work for Ningfu...
puff!
Another mouthful of blood was spurted out, but this time it was black and red blood. After the blood was spat out, Concubine Jin's face gradually turned rosy, and her breathing became steady.

Qin Rao felt her pulse and was suddenly overjoyed, how is it possible?

Yue Lu's eyes also widened, the Qin Rao's appearance just now is clearly a feeling of powerlessness, why?Why did it suddenly become like this!
Taking a breath, Concubine Jin suddenly realized, she clenched Qin Rao's hand tightly, and said, "Master Zhulan gave me a pill..."

That's it!

Zhulan can even cure Ningfu's fire-winged snake poison, let alone this mere mortal poison!

Helping Concubine Jin up, Qin Rao nodded with a smile: "I must confess to Zhu Lan!"

Helping Qin Rao wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Concubine Jin knew that her choice just now was not wrong.

"You should have a good rest first. I'm going to take her to meet someone. There's been a lot of trouble recently. You'd better move to live with the queen. That way, Teng Xuanyun will feel more at ease."

Looking at Yue Lu who was already there in a daze, Concubine Jin nodded and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you, and I'll go to the queen tomorrow, but...you should be more careful, understand?"

Helping Concubine Jin to the bedside, Qin Rao said softly:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of him, not even a single hair will be lost! You should have a good rest first, and I must take her away immediately."

Patting the back of Qin Rao's hand, Concubine Jin said, "Go quickly! Be careful!"

Concubine Chao Jin smiled slightly, and Qin Rao walked towards Yue Lu, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her out.

At this time, in Prince Yang's mansion, there was also a person who was dragged and dragged by Jiu Guan and Yan Tong to the Wuyou Pavilion.

Perhaps it was stimulated by seeing the tragic scene of his family's ruin and death along the way. Teng Xuanyang's pupils were a little divergent, his eyes were dull, and his legs seemed to have no strength at all. He needed the support of Jiuguan and Yantong to barely walk.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zixi felt even more guilty, and she said to Zhu Lan, "Quickly go back with Luo Yiyao to get the antidote."

After Zhu Lan said "OK", she pulled Luo Yiyao away in a hurry.

And Yantong immediately walked to Zhulan's position, and followed Zixi's side every step of the way, with his eyes sweeping towards Ningfu from time to time. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, but from Cai Lingyi's reaction and words just now, Yantong also heard some tricks.

Fu Teng Xuanyang sat on the ground, Jiuguan gasped and said: "He's fine, but he was overly frightened, and he was too sad to learn that..."

There was a trace of sadness in Teng Xuanyi's eyes, and he really wanted to ask Teng Xuanchun, "Is this the result you originally wanted?"...

Brother, why do you come here?

In the past, Teng Xuanyi was not without doubts, and it can even be said that he has always had doubts in his heart, but no matter what, everyone saw Teng Xuanchun's kindness to Zixi later, and that kindness, Not mixed with any falsehood.

If it were before, Teng Xuanyi would never forgive him, but now...

"Brother!" There were two urgent shouts from the courtyard, and everyone looked out one after another. It was Teng Xuanhao and Teng Xuanxiao.

Hearing that something happened to Prince Yang's mansion, the two rushed over in a hurry, out of breath. Seeing so many faces in the Wuyou Pavilion, they were startled for a while, and then they ran away immediately when they saw Teng Xuanyang sitting paralyzed on the ground. Stepped forward and squatted down.

Teng Xuanhao frowned and asked, "Brother, are you okay? Are you injured?"

As if Teng Xuanyang didn't hear it, he still sat there silently, his head was sweating profusely, and his lips trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Teng Xuanxiao said slowly: "It's not an option to stay here all the time, it's better to find a place for elder brother to settle down first, and ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

Teng Xuanyi said: "I thought my father would send an imperial doctor to come with you."

After a pause, Teng Xuanhao shook his head: "Not long after you and Lao Liu left, the news spread into the imperial palace. Father Wang...he didn't say anything."

Teng Xuanyi nodded. At the banquet, Heng Cang suddenly mentioned the matter of Ning Fu. His father already had a taboo in his heart. Something happened to Prince Yang's mansion at this time. I'm afraid he would think it was a bitter trick directed by his elder brother...

It's hard to argue, Teng Xuanyang was really cornered this time.

Seeing the six brothers gathered at the scene of the disaster, Zixi was deeply moved: human nature is really complicated.In the past, several people who fought openly and secretly, with different thoughts, can actually make people feel the existence of sincerity at this moment.

She glanced at Teng Xuanchun's slightly swollen cheeks, and thought:

He was willing to tell everything frankly, so why not because of sincerity?With his scheming, it is not impossible to clean himself up, even if Teng Xuanyi and I can be sure that he is the mastermind behind it, so what?Tell everyone that Ningfu is a different kind?Tell everyone that this fifth prince, who has always been far away from court disputes, has no desires, and is free and easy, is playing with you in the palm of his hand?
A person who was extremely bad, for his own sake, overthrew a game of chess that he had painstakingly designed, moreover, overturned so simply and thoroughly.

At the beginning, he said "I give you my life." It was not a joke, not a tease, but a promise.A promise made by a person who was extremely hypocritical to his father and brothers, but he fulfilled this promise to himself.

He has failed everyone in the world, but he has not failed me, so why should I judge him by what other people say is "right or wrong"?What is right and wrong, what is right and wrong?Who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in his life?

Thinking of this, the corners of Zixi's mouth curled up, she decided to follow her heart, that is - protect him!
Zixi said: "Wait a little longer, there are still people who haven't come back. Your father's attitude is already very clear. I'm afraid whoever takes him in at this time will inevitably make him feel bad. Go to Yiwang's mansion, break the pot and smash it, anyway, Teng Xuanyi doesn't care anymore."

Except for Teng Xuanyi and Teng Xuanyang, the other princes looked at Zixi in amazement. This girl's words were really... straightforward enough.

Zixi raised her eyebrows and said: "Why do you all look at me? Am I wrong? The woman who was wanted by the prince on the front foot of Teng Xuanyang had an accident here. Is it possible that your father thinks this is just a coincidence? Cut! Leave him alone." Yes! Living is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Teng Xuanyi smiled slightly: "Yes, let the eldest brother go to our place!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Lan's eager voice came from outside: "Zixi! It's not good!"

Heart sank, Zixi squeezed her eyes hard: "What's the matter?"

After glancing at Teng Xuanhao and Teng Xuanyang, Zhu Lan walked quickly to Zixi's side and whispered something in her ear.

Zixi's pupils shook violently:
"No reason!"
