Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 224 Remorse
When Qi Chen arrived in the yard, he found that Princess Yongning was looking at the plane tree very quietly in the garden, not like before, who hugged him as soon as he came up, and shouted "Yin Zhi" shyly.In an instant, Qi Chen actually felt that such a Princess Yongning could not figure out his mind at all, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Princess, I'm back. I don't know what the princess wants me for?" Qi Chen pretended to ask gently as usual.

Princess Yongning turned around slowly, looked at Qi Chen and replied quietly: "Is there nothing wrong, can't this princess call you back?"

Seeing such an abnormal Princess Yongning, Qi Chen frowned slightly and said, "Of course the princess can, but the official department has official duties to do now, so please forgive me." After speaking, he turned around and left.

But she was blocked by Princess Yongning's words, "My princess is still clear about what happened outside now, so please don't lie to me."

Surrounded by the armies of the two countries, the Southern Chu regime is at stake, and there is still a need to do official business, which sounds like deception.

Hearing this, Qi Chen had no choice but to stop and turn around. With a gentle smile on his face, he said patiently: "The princess has other things to say. If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest first. I just came from Going back outside, I'm a little tired."

Qi Chen, who was about to turn around and leave, thought in his heart that when Princess Yongning stopped watching over him, he would sneak out.

But what Princess Yongning said calmly made Qi Chen completely restless and flustered.

"Before Wang Rongxin died, this princess went to see her, and she also said something to this princess."

Seeing Qi Chen looking at her nervously, Princess Yongning said slowly: "But I don't believe what she said."

Before Qi Chen heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Princess Yongning continue: "But this princess sent someone to investigate, and the information found out proved that what Wang Rongxin said was true, and she did not lie to this princess."

"So the princess believed it?" Qi Chen's voice was trembling without even realizing it.

Princess Yongning raised her eyes, looked at Qi Chen who was obviously guilty and flustered, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it, but this princess wants to hear it from you."

"Oh, the princess has found out and believed it, do you want me to admit that it is necessary?" Qi Chen planned to smash the pot.

"Yes." Princess Yongning seemed to be a different person, her eyes were fixed on Qi Chen, her eye circles were slightly red, there was a faint expectation in it, and she was extremely calm, "As long as you say that all of this was unintentional, after You will admit your mistake, this princess can let the past go, and live a good life with you."

"Oh, an unintentional act?" Qi Chen sneered, "My dear princess, you are the only one who would believe that a man who made his wife unable to conceive was an unintentional act. Now that the matter is up to now, I will directly point it out. Let Gui It was my idea that Mammy gave you birth control pills, and all of this was done on purpose, not by accident."

Princess Yongning seemed to be in disbelief that Qi Chen would point it out directly, her eyes were wide open with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she asked after a long while: "Why?"

"Why?" Qi Chen seemed to have gone crazy, with a mocking grin on his face, and cruelly told the truth, "Because I never liked you, and I never thought of living a good life with you. Because you are Murong Xiu's relatives." Sister, I have always been on guard against you, and I can't even let you conceive a child. If you have a child, this is a handle for me, you say, why should I create a handle and pass it into the hands of the enemy?"

"What about this garden full of sycamores? If you really don't like me, why did you plant a garden full of sycamores to please me? Why did you help me take down the paper kites when we first met?" Princess Yongning With one last fantasy in mind.

"Oh, are you a fool?" Qi Chen's words shattered Princess Yongning's last illusion, "Because you are a princess, the favorite princess of the Holy One and Concubine Wen Gui, you are noble, and you are a golden branch and jade leaf. Dare to offend, I can only hold you in the palm of my hand and hold you high. So I planted these sycamore trees according to your wishes. When we met for the first time, I went against my will to help you take down the kite. Until Now, I've been thinking, if I didn't help you take down the paper kite, wouldn't you have married me? And I can also find a sensible and obedient wife, so I don't have to bow my knees and force myself to smile. We never saw each other again.”

Princess Yongning seemed to have finally heard the words in Qi Chen's heart, she slumped on the stone bench, the tears that had swirled in her eyes for a long time finally overflowed, and cried bitterly.

It turned out that he thought so, she knew he didn't like her, all this was just her wishful thinking, so even if he took the contraceptive pill, she could let it go, because she just wanted to live a good life with him, just with him .

Even if he wanted an heir in the future and she couldn't have children, she could tolerate him bringing in concubines one by one.As long as you live with him, that's fine.

Who knows, he never thought about marrying her, living a good life with her, or even meeting her.I just hate that there are too many and too tight fates in this life, and now there is only hatred and impatience left.The fateful adventure envied by others, the encounter she longed for in her heart, turned out to be a joke in the end, so unbearable.

The paper kites and sycamore trees back then were originally a fantasy in her heart, a young girl's fantasy of beautiful love.

I think she still laughed at Wang Rongxin for being ridiculous and pitiful at that time, and she couldn't love her. Now, what is the difference between her and Wang Rongxin?It's just a vulgar world with a higher status than her, and they can't escape this so-called dunya. It's ridiculous to take the best dream in my heart as the reality I have.

And this noble status that she was once proud of actually blinded her eyes, making her unable to see her situation clearly.

It turns out that she is also so ridiculous, so pitiful, so sad!

"It was my mistake. I mistakenly thought that as long as I had my own wishful thinking, I would get what I wanted in the end. But in the end, I realized that it was all in vain. I shouldn't beg Brother Huang to save your life, and I shouldn't be angry with Brother Huang , I shouldn’t just go my own way without listening to my concubine and the emperor’s brother. I should marry Qi Ze, maybe I’ll be able to live a good life if I marry Qi Ze, like an ordinary woman who cares for her husband and raises her children around her knees. It’s a pity that now I just understood these truths, if I could understand earlier, maybe I would live a happier life."

Princess Yongning cried and said these words that she thought she would never say in her life, sincerely apologized to Murong Xiu in her heart, and called out "Brother Huang" that she was most reluctant to call out.

She had been having temper tantrums with Murong Xiu before, thinking that her imperial brother was unkind and just taking advantage of her.But now it seems that her imperial brother has not actually harmed her, and has been accommodating her and protecting her.

After she married into the Qi family, for the sake of her face, she could live a better life in the Qi family, so she spread rumors that she and Qi Chen were lovers and couples, destined to be a couple.At that time, she ridiculously thought that these rumors were true, but now it seems that Brother Huang is protecting her. Does she still not know what the truth is?
It's a pity that it's too late to repent now, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

Princess Yongning lowered his head and wept. When Qi Chen heard that Princess Yongning had begged Murong Xiu to save his life, he felt insulted in his proud heart, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever needs Murong Xiu to save my life must be the prince in the future." Ascend to the throne, when the time comes, Murong Xiu and you will both die. It should be I who spared your life out of mercy, not you who spared my life."

After speaking, Qi Chen turned around and was about to walk out of the courtyard to tell Murong Sheng the news about the True Soldiers Talisman, but Princess Yongning suddenly hugged his back behind him.

"You want to go to Murong Sheng, right? This princess won't let you go, and if you want to win, the emperor must win."

Feeling the people behind him desperately blocking his waist, Qi Chen turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Let go, bitch."

"This princess is not loose. If you want to win against Qi Ze, go ahead and dream. This princess tells you that Qi Ze is thousands of times stronger than you, and you will never be able to win against Qi Ze."

"What are you talking about? Bitch!" After all, Qi Chen is a man, and he must be stronger than a woman. He turned around and pushed Princess Yongning to the ground, then knelt down and pinched the woman's neck. He glared angrily, and said hatefully: "Who said that this young master can't compare to him, what is Qi Ze? It's only because of the military talisman that he can live until now, otherwise, he would have died long ago. After Qi Yun's death, he shouldn't be alive."

In the woman's breathless voice, seeing the ferocious face of the man, the voice seemed to come from a magic cave, "How can someone who should have died a long time ago be better than this young master? The only thing waiting for Qi Ze is death!"

Princess Yongning tried hard to breathe a few times, and refused to admit defeat: "You can't compare him, and he can't die, and you will die if he dies. You, Qi Chen, will never be able to compare with Qi Ze!"

Hearing this, Qi Chen's eyes filled with hatred, "You really are a bitch! Since you want to die so much, I will send you to die." As he said, he put his hands on Princess Yongning's head and pushed hard on the stone bench. Hitting it, even though it was dripping with blood, the flesh was mutilated, and the bright red blood stained the hands, it didn't stop.

But Princess Yongning was so pampered, her strength was too weak, and she was choked by Qi Chen. She couldn't even cry for help, so she could only follow the man's strength and slam into the stone bench again and again, with a man like a devil in her ear A chilling sound.

"If you like phoenix trees so much, then you will be buried here and be with these phoenix trees forever."

The man had a ferocious face, gritted his teeth, and mechanically pressed the woman's head, bumping into it again and again, with more force each time, as if to vent all the unwillingness and resentment in the past few years, until the woman's struggle became weaker and she was completely broken. Only when you lose your breath will you stop.

Looking at the bloody corpse on the ground, Qi Chen didn't panic at all, but just smiled contemptuously as if relaxed.He took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped off the splashed blood on his face, then wiped his blood-red hands that were already sticky, threw the used handkerchief on the corpse, and turned away without hesitation.

After leaving the courtyard, Qi Chen ordered his cronies to kill all the maids that Princess Yongning brought out from the palace, and wiped out all the grass.Anyway, it has reached this point, and I don't mind making things worse.

At the same time, in front of Zhengyang Gate, two noble men were standing at the forefront of their respective teams on high horses, confronting each other two by two.Although there was a smile on their faces, the murderous intent and fierceness in it stimulated everyone's nerves, causing the team behind them to fight a cold war.

"Fourth emperor brother, I came prepared this time. I was so anxious to discuss strategies with the enemy army and complete the response. It's a pity that my palace will not let the Western Wei Dongteng army go wild on the land of Southern Chu. The traitors of Southern Chu are also not allowed to act recklessly under the clear law of heaven." Murong Sheng decided to fight back first, no matter what happened to the army behind Murong Xiu, as long as he insisted that Murong Xiu was a traitor colluding with the enemy country, then he would win. .

Facing this situation, Murong Xiu did not panic, and after a soft smile, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Brother San Huang is a thief calling for a thief, and his ability to plant and frame things is really beyond the reach of Brother Si Huang. Who is colluding with the enemy country and plotting to usurp the throne? I believe Brother Sanhuang is the clearest in his heart."

Hearing this, Murong Cheng's eyes showed coldness, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, showing a sneer, and said, "What does this mean, Fourth Emperor? It's obvious that I am plotting evil, and I don't hesitate to commit trouble, why do you say that I am a thief calling for a thief?" For the sake of the friendship between our brothers over the years, I can give the fourth brother a chance. As long as the fourth brother disarms and surrenders, surrenders himself and goes to prison, I can ask the father for leniency. Keep the four emperors For my younger brother's throne, find a good executioner with a knife in his hand, let the fourth younger brother die without any pain with his imperial status, and also save the fourth younger brother's face as a prince. Is that good?"

Murong Xiu also sneered, "Thank you, Brother Sanhuang, for considering the affairs of Brother Sihuang, but unfortunately, Brother Sihuang may not be able to use it. With this time, Brother Sanhuang might as well think about what to do about your own affairs after death. How can we save the face of the crown prince of a country."

"Fourth Brother is really stubborn, you still haven't admitted your crime?" Murong Sheng's eyes sank, he stared at the army behind Murong Xiu, and said: "If Fourth Brother didn't collude with foreign countries, then the people behind him Where did the army come from? The soldier talisman is in my hands. Without the soldier talisman, how do you lead the army? Isn’t it the army lent to you by the Western Wei, Eastern and Teng countries? The evidence is already on the surface, and you still want to deny it ?”

"Heh, why does this king have an army? To be honest, this army is not the army of Western Wei Dongteng, but our army of Southern Chu. Brother Sanhuang is really blind, can't even recognize his own army?"

"Impossible, you don't have a soldier talisman, how can you lead our Southern Chu army?" Murong Sheng immediately retorted.

"Everyone knows that there is only one soldier talisman. Now, the soldier talisman of Nanchu is in the hands of Brother Sanhuang, but is the army led by Brother Sanhuang the orthodox army of the Southern Chu court? How do you know that this king's army is not Is the military talisman in your hand really useful for the army of Southern Chu? If it is really useful, why didn’t Brother Sanhuang bring the orthodox army of Southern Chu with him, instead he brought his own private army to swagger through the market. Isn’t it because you know Your soldier talisman is fake, and you are guilty and afraid, so even if you hold the soldier talisman in your hand, you don’t dare to lead the thousands of troops yourself." Murong Xiu revealed slowly and calmly.

Every time the other party uttered a word, Murong Sheng's face became gloomy.

That's right, he already holds a military talisman in his hand, why is he still bringing a privately raised army, isn't it because he is guilty and afraid?With a guilty conscience, he was the one who colluded with the enemy. He was afraid that Emperor Zhaozheng would suddenly stab a knife in the back and tell the secret that the military talisman was fake.

So after careful consideration, he still used the privately raised army instead of using the orthodox army of Southern Chu.Although he had planned it for a long time, he was still inexplicably guilty about leading foreign troops to attack his homeland.

After a long while, Murong Sheng calmed down, raised his eyes and asked, "Si Huangdi has said so much, and even said that the military talisman of this palace is fake. This military talisman was bestowed by the emperor himself, so how can it be fake? Si Huangdi You keep saying that my army is raised privately, so do you have evidence? The source of my army is not clear, so where did your army come from?"

"This king is able to lead the army here, so naturally he has something to rely on."

"Relying on? What relying on? A soldier talisman? You said just now that there is only one soldier talisman. Besides the one in this palace's hand, how can there be any other soldier talisman?" Murong Sheng asked in a gloomy voice of disbelief.

"Who said there is no soldier talisman? This king also said just now that the soldier talisman in your hand is fake. If there is a fake one, then there must be a real one. Shouldn't this king have this real soldier talisman?"

While speaking, Murong Xiu took out a small tiger-shaped thing from his bosom, although it was very small, it made Murong Sheng and the two commanders of Western Wei Dongteng behind him, Qiqi, change their expressions.

"A soldier talisman? How could you have a soldier talisman? This soldier talisman must have been forged by you." Murong Sheng couldn't believe it.

Even Emperor Zhaozheng has been looking for something for more than ten years, but now it is in the hands of Murong Xiu, how can people believe this.

The two commanders of Western Wei and Dong Teng who were behind were already very surprised when they heard the news that Murong Xiu said that the Southern Chu soldier talisman was fake.After all, the military lifeline of a country is fake, and if it gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Although the two countries had a cooperative relationship with Murong Sheng, Murong Sheng was cautious by nature and never disclosed this news to them.When he heard it, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he could use this to threaten Murong Sheng later.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Murong Xiu took out the real soldier talisman, and this beautiful fantasy was instantly shattered.At the same time, he was even more surprised that Murong Xiu was able to find the real soldier talisman.What this means, both of them are very clear.

That is, the army brought by Murong Sheng cannot be used. Murong Xiu has the opportunity to turn the tables, and even has the right to drive the armies of the two countries out of Southern Chu, which proves that Murong Sheng's army is indeed raised privately.

This reversal caught everyone by surprise.

Facing Murong Sheng's doubts, Murong Xiu curled his lips into a smile, and said quietly, "Is this true? I believe Brother Sanhuang already has the answer in his heart." Then his tone turned cold, and he said loudly, "Murong Sheng, you colluded with the enemy country. , raising an army privately, with the intention of treason, and wanting to frame the king, the crime is aggravated. What crime should you deserve for leading the army of the enemy to kill the people of your own country, collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country."

This sentence made everyone excited. They thought it was perfect, but who would have thought that the opponent would find the real soldier talisman and completely turn the tables.After several years of planning, he was so easily overwhelmed, and with a few words, the opponent turned defeat into victory.

You lost before you even started.
