Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 121 Storm 1
The emperor's palace.

In the spacious hall, Concubine Liu Gui walked towards the dragon couch step by step with a heavy heart.The green gauze curtain on the dragon couch was blown up by the wind, and Ming Huai Emperor's ashen and lifeless face loomed in front of Concubine Liu Gui.

Concubine Liu Gui didn't have the courage to approach him after all, she turned around abruptly a few steps away from the dragon couch, and looked back at Liu Yuanzong.

"Brother, has the emperor issued an imperial edict?" Concubine Liu Gui asked.

After sharing the same bed for more than ten years, she has transformed from a young girl into a charming concubine. This man and this palace personally destroyed all her beauty.It would be absolutely false to say that she has no feelings for this man.It's just that since the other person has gone, rather than wallowing in grief, it's better to hold on to what she can get now.

Liu Yuanzong nodded lightly, "The emperor wrote down the imperial edict, and Xiao Twelve will be the new king of the entire Xiliang in the future."

Xiao Twelve inherits the throne?Concubine Liu Gui listened, her eyes flashed, and a trace of sadness flickered in her brows and eyes.She couldn't tell whether the emperor really valued Xiao Twelve's talent, or because of her... because of her companionship all these years, he made her adopted son the new emperor.

Liu Yuanzong seemed to have an insight into what she was thinking.The corner of his mouth raised slightly, he reached out and patted her shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "Mingfu, brother knows that you must have fantasies about the emperor in your heart. But, you remember. He is The emperor of Xiliang. The love between men and women is at most a little interest in his life. He made Xiao Shier the new emperor because Xiao Shier is your adopted son. We can secure our position for sure I want to support him. Second, there is a brother-sister relationship between the little twelfth and the eldest princess. If we can't win against Lu Huaiqi in the end, with the relationship between the little twelfth and the eldest princess, Lu Huaiqi will not be too hard on him I've been treated harshly. Xiao Twelve's canonization as the new emperor was considered by the emperor, and it's not because a child is as valuable as a mother."

Liu Yuanzong's words almost wiped out the last illusion in Concubine Liu Gui's heart.

Concubine Liu Gui's charming eyes suddenly darkened and became cold.

"Brother, have you taken care of the chief assistants in the court?" Concubine Liu Gui opened her red lips again and asked in an indifferent voice.

Liu Yuanzong stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, "Don't worry about the affairs of the court, I'm here. I have already agreed with a few adults, we will not make a funeral in secret, and when Lu Huaiqi returns to the palace, we will give him a turtle in the urn. At that time Just use the emperor's death to make a fuss."

Concubine Liu Gui saw that when her brother said these words, the expression on his face was calm and calm, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura of a superior, so she felt much more at ease.

"However, brother. There are still many people in Liang Jingcheng who were bribed by Lu Huaiqi whether it was on the surface or behind the scenes. If we hadn't lifted the emperor out before, we would use the majesty of the emperor to suppress these rebels. , the situation in the court cannot be so calm now. These people must be waiting for Lu Huaiqi to return to Liang Jingcheng, we have to get rid of these people who are loyal to Lu Huaiqi as soon as possible before Lu Huaiqi returns. "

Concubine Liu Guifei's proposal, Liu Yuanzong was deeply impressed.

"I discussed it with some adults, and I will find a way to eradicate Lu Huaiqi's gangsters. You just..." Liu Yuanzong thought of Shen Qingli, "I heard that Shen Qingli himself admitted that she and Pei Yan had an affair, and the two of them were secretly married. As expected, she is the daughter of Shen Shisheng, and her mind is quick enough. Before we found out that she was pregnant, she found another 'father' for her child with Lu Huai." Now she only needs one bite It was Pei Yan who bit the child in her womb.

Anyway, she had already been arrested and fucked in public, even if they all knew clearly that the child must have been caused by Lu Huai, but Lu Huai had to go back to Beijing, take off his pants and verify that he was upright before he could be punished for the crime committed by Lu Huai.

The mention of "Shen's" seemed to arouse Concubine Liu Gui's hatred for Shen's.

She flicked her toga vigorously, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, "So what if you can think fast? The emperor is gone, and the only one who can talk in this palace is Ben Gong. I will definitely not let Mrs. Shen and her My daughter is doing well."

Seeing the resentment pouring out of her eyes, Liu Yuanzong felt a little uneasy, so he took the opportunity to remind, "Mingfu, the eldest princess is the bargaining chip we use to blackmail Lu Huaiqi. Before we take Lu Huaiqi down, you can take a little Restraint, don't let her get into trouble."

He said this, but Liu Guifei didn't listen to him, so he didn't know.Concubine Liu Gui only had a faint smile on her face, "Don't worry, brother, I will do things properly."

These words seemed to be aimed at Shen Qingli's mother and daughter, Liu Yuanzong was still a little worried.But just at this time, outside the sleeping hall, his confidant came over to discuss something with him, so Liu Yuanzong could only leave temporarily.

After he left, the whole hall fell silent again.After Liu Guifei was silent for a short while, she still turned her head to look at Emperor Minghuai who was lying quietly on the bed.

life and death.

My heart was still aching.

But in just a moment, she clenched her lips, turned around resolutely and walked towards the door of the bedroom.

Outside the sleeping hall, the sun rose high.

The sun is shining.

She walked towards the gorgeous sunshine, under the sunshine, the wind blew the palace robe on her body, she was like a phoenix about to spread its wings, gorgeous and bright.

……

From the gilded incense burner, blue smoke curled up.

Mu Yunyao leaned on a bright huanghuali armchair with her feet up, still holding a bunch of green grapes lightly in her hand.She lightly twirled a grape and chewed it in her mouth a few times, smiling cunningly and shrewdly.

"Ake, look, that's how we got rid of that Shen Qingli. The person over there will find out later, we just need to push this matter to Concubine Liu Gui and the others in the palace."

There was still a sour taste of grapes between her lips and teeth, but Mu Yunyao still narrowed her eyes happily.

Gao Yunzhan's feminine and charming faces quickly flashed through her mind.

This time she handled things so properly, she will definitely leave a very good impression on Prince Gao.

A Ke held a Langhao pen in his hand, and stood in front of a plain screen, waving ink.

She didn't respond to Mu Yunyao's words, Mu Yunyao recovered from her reverie about Gao Yunzhan, smacked her lips lightly, and cast a white eye at A Ke.

"You should thank me this time. I helped you get rid of a potential threat."

The Langhao pen in A Ke's hand rustled under the screen, and after a while, the outline of a mountain range appeared on the screen.She was supposed to continue painting, but was affected by Mu Yunyao's words. The Langhao brush in her hand stopped in mid-air, and a drop of glaze lightly dripped on the screen, and the artistic conception that the entire screen had just created was instantly destroyed. do.

She stared at the dot of ink, frowning slightly.

Shen Qingli was finally unlucky, she should be as happy as Mu Yunyao.

But she wasn't happy at all.

Perhaps after knowing that the man paid special attention to Shen Qingli, she had already lost to Shen Qingli in a certain sense.

Now even though Shen Qingli was in bad luck, when she thought that the man might still be worried about Shen Qingli, she felt as if someone had crushed a stone by force, making him breathless.

Simply throwing down the Langhao brush in her hand, she walked to the window of the sleeping hall, and looked out of the hall through the open window.

Mu Yunyao stared at her back, stuffed a few more grapes into her mouth, contempt poured out from the corners of her eyes and brows.

Even if A Ke is the real second princess, so what.She lost her mother and concubine when she was born, and the master who raised him didn't treat her wholeheartedly.Now even the identity of a princess is occupied by her.

With her like this, her life is not as good as hers.

Mu Yunyao thought about this in her heart, and then she closed her eyes and imagined that she would marry to Beiqi and become the glorious scene of Crown Princess Gao Yunzhan.

……

Night, like a splash of ink into a ball.

The palace people in the palace lit up the palace lanterns as usual.The entire palace was calm and calm, and it seemed to be as usual.

However, Shen Shi was escorted to Concubine Liu Guifei's bedroom this night.

In the resplendent palace, there is a kind of luxury everywhere.As soon as Shen Shi in ragged clothes entered the hall, he was shabby and desolate by everything in the hall.

She pursed her lips, and after quickly scanning around the hall, her gaze finally fell on Concubine Liu Gui who was sitting in the center of the hall.

Concubine Liu Gui tonight is wearing a red and flamboyant palace robe, embroidered with patterns of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.She sat dignifiedly and virtuously in the center of the hall, and when she looked down on her, there was an unconcealable pride and wantonness in her eyes.

Shen's quiet eyes like an ancient well moved slightly.

In this palace, only the queen is qualified to wear the phoenix robe, which symbolizes the supreme status.Concubine Liu Gui dared to put on a phoenix robe and appear in front of her in such a flamboyant way. The emperor...has he decided to canonize her as a queen?

Shen's eyes moved slightly, suppressing the loneliness in them.

And Habayashi Wei suddenly raised his foot behind her and kicked her knee hard.With this kick, Shen's body couldn't help leaning forward, and the whole body knelt down in front of Concubine Liu Gui.

Seeing her old enemy for many years kneeling in front of her so lonely and miserable, Concubine Liu Gui raised her brows lightly and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister, it's been a long time since the two of us have been alone together like today." Concubine Liu Gui was full of smiles, and the joy in her heart made her unable to calmly face Shen, "So my sister asked her to come here today. I want my sister to accompany my sister to watch some fun things."

Her domineering tone displeased Shen.But her status as a queen for many years also gave her an extra bit of arrogance when facing Concubine Liu Gui.

She only glanced lazily at Concubine Liu Gui, as if letting her show off.

Concubine Liu Gui raised her chin high and lightly, snorted coldly, then stood up from her seat, and walked straight out of the hall door.Behind her, her attendants set up Shen Shi and chased after her.

In the low and damp prison, Shen Qingli and Pei Yan were separated into two adjacent cells.The effect of the drug/drug on the two of them has long since dissipated.

Pei Yan bit a straw mark in her mouth, and unconsciously looked in the direction of Shen Qingli.

The light in the prison was dim, and the flickering light hit her cheeks. She closed her eyes lightly, and her black and curly eyelashes circled two curved arcs in mid-air, making it difficult for people to see her face clearly. What kind of storm is hidden in the pupils.

The corners of his lips were raised bitterly, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "This time, we are each other, and neither of us is dragging the other." Although Shen Qingli's reputation as a "female husband" has been affected by him, she also makes him happy. father.

Their pair of "dogs and men" may soon become objects of rejection by the entire Xiliang people.

His current state of mind is very complicated, very complicated.

"I'm sorry." Through the iron fence, Shen Qingli could only say sorry softly to Pei Yan.

It was her fault that she took Pei Yan to be the father of the child in her womb.If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely repay the favor she owes Pei Yan.

The corners of Pei Yan's lips pressed lightly, and he said in a low voice, "Didn't Lu Huaiqi make any further arrangements before leaving Liang Jingcheng? I think this time, they are here for you. If Lu Huaiqi has no other arrangements, what will happen after you?" It might be worse."

Shen Qingli has no idea what kind of situation is going on in the court now.Lu Huaiqi didn't know if he had any other arrangements.

She can only be sure now that Lu Huaiqi will definitely come to rescue her.

While the two were talking, there was a rush of footsteps from the prison.Shen Qingli listened carefully, and deduced from the sound of walking that there must be more than one person coming.

She raised her eyes to follow the prestige, and the first one to come out of the dark shadow was Concubine Liu Gui.Behind Concubine Liu Gui, a group of her attendants escorted Shen Shi to appear in front of the prison where she was held.

Across the iron fence, Shen Qingli already felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing Shen Qingli being imprisoned in a low and damp iron prison, Shen Shi, who was cut behind her back by her hands, her pupils froze violently, and an uneasy expression immediately appeared on her face.

"Liu Shi, Ali is the eldest princess of Xiliang Kingdom. What right do you have to put her in prison? Let her go!"

Shen yelled loudly.Even though she has experienced all kinds of storms, as long as she encounters something about Shen Qingli, she will become restless and out of control.

"Where's Lu Huaiqi? If you dare to arrest Ali, aren't you afraid that Lu Huaiqi will seek revenge from you?"

Shen's noisy noise drifted into Concubine Liu Gui's ears, but to Concubine Liu Gui, it was more pleasing and touching than any song in the world.

She turned around and walked to Shen's side, the sharp armor brushed across Shen's angrily face, and there were a few red bloodstains on her face.

"Mr. Chen, since my palace dares to bring the eldest princess of Xiliang here, it must have obtained the emperor's permission." Her red lips parted slightly, and she clung to Shen's ears like a poisonous snake with its core sticking out. Evil said, "Speaking of which, you are really a mother and daughter. You steal the country, and your daughter steals men. Both of you mother and daughter are thieves who like to steal things."

This word...

Before Shen could react, Concubine Liu Gui directly suppressed the smile on her face, and ordered coldly, "Come here, the eldest princess is disobedient, and I will be punished by za!"

At Concubine Liu Gui's order, some attendants would sneak into the prison, and if she couldn't help breaking up, she would be punished by Shen Qingli.

Ten fingers were put on the instrument of torture, and the attendants pulled hard on the side, and as soon as the instrument of torture was closed, a piercing pain hit Shen Qingli.Shen Qingli's face collapsed, revealing a painful expression.

When her precious daughter was raped by Concubine Liu Gui like this, the sockets of Shen's eyes turned red.

"Bitch! A Li is the eldest princess of Xiliang, and it's not that the old Mu's family doesn't have dirty things like a princess. Why do you treat A Li like this?"

As she spoke, she was so angry that she was about to break free from the attendants and rush towards Concubine Liu Gui.

Concubine Liu Gui smiled treacherously, "Why do you treat her like this? It's an interesting question. Why didn't you think about this question when you personally ordered someone to kill my elder sister? Also, the medicinal food you gave me was poisoned. , causing me to have no heirs so far. Slut, it is time to repay the pain you have caused our sisters."

The sharp armor slashed across Shen's face again, Concubine Liu Gui's face trembled and twitched violently, she turned her head and gave a vicious order to the attendants in the prison, "Stop staring blankly! Be quicker!" !"

The attendants tightened the instruments of torture in their hands, and Shen Qingli's ten fingers were about to shatter due to the external force.

Concubine Liu Gui looked at the painful expression on her face, and then looked at Shen Shi satisfied.

"It's reasonable to pay off the mother's debt."

Shen's eyes were fixed on Shen Qingli without blinking, and any painful expression of her could set off a huge wave in her heart.In addition, after being so provoked by Concubine Liu Gui, she broke down and yelled, "If you want revenge, you can come to me directly, don't target her. She is innocent, she doesn't know anything..."

The more Shen's suffering, the more Concubine Liu Gui's heart fluttered.

She giggled and looked at the attendants in the prison again.The attendants exerted force on their hands again, Shen Qingli couldn't bear it, and cried out in pain.

With a "plop", Shen directly knelt down to Concubine Liu Gui, "I beg you, empress, please let Ali go, as long as... you are willing to let her go, I will do whatever you ask me... ..."

Shen's voice choked up and begged.

The empress, who used to be aloof, now kneels in front of her like a bereaved dog, and Concubine Liu Gui's amorous face is full of aloofness.

Through the iron fence, she deliberately teased Shen Qingli, "Your Highness, are you in great pain now? How about this, I will be a good person once, and you just swear in front of me that you will never recognize her. I will do my best to let you go."

The piercing pain kept torturing every nerve of Shen Qingli.Shen Qingli's life would be worse than death.

But facing the conditions thrown by Concubine Liu Gui, she still just gave Shen a cold look, then closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to continue to endure such a torture.

Although she still has no intention of settling down with Shen Shi.

But her own denial is different from others forcing her to deny it.

She didn't want to be a dog, kneel and lick Concubine Liu Gui, and become a tool for her to play tricks on.

Pei Yan took a panoramic view of all this quietly, seeing that Shen Qing Liming had been tortured by the pain to the point where his entire face had turned discolored, but he still clenched his teeth and persisted, a trace of pity flashed across his eagle eyes.

"Imperial Concubine, Your Royal Highness is pregnant now, and her body is relatively weak. You are still torturing her like this. If she has trouble with the child in her womb, I don't know who you are going to use to blackmail Lu Huai. gone."

Pei Yan's words stepped on Concubine Liu Gui's weakness.

Concubine Liu Gui looked at Shen Qingli's paper-like face, and was still unwilling to let her go like this.But at this time, Liu Yuanzong's figure also appeared in the prison.

As soon as Liu Yuanzong appeared, seeing that all ten of Shen Qingli's fingers were locked up by torture instruments, a look of disapproval appeared on his face, and he quickly ordered someone to release Shen Qingli.

When the instrument of torture was released from Shen Qingli's fingers, Shen Qingli's hands were already bloody.As soon as her legs gave way, she fell directly to the ground.

Liu Yuanzong's face darkened slightly, he turned around, and pulled Concubine Liu Gui directly out of the prison.

And Shen Shi was also ordered by Liu Yuanzong to be locked up again in the place where he was locked up before.

After the brother and sister left the prison, Liu Yuanzong let go of Concubine Liu Gui's hand, "Why are you so restless? Lu Huaiqi hasn't returned to Liang Jingcheng yet. If she is really tortured by you Three pros and two deficiencies, we can't explain what happened to Lu Huaiqi at all."

Concubine Liu Gui was still indulging in the pleasure of belittling and ridiculing Shen Shi. When Liu Yuanzong criticized her, she raised her lips impatiently and muttered, "Brother, I am a person of measure, I just want Shen Shi to suffer too. That's all."

Shen Qingli was not really about to be killed.

Liu Yuanzong didn't argue with her any more, he could only tell her some words, and then went to his own business.

a long distance away.

The Haojiang camp was built on the border between Xiliang and Nantan, where a quarter of Xiliang's troops were stationed.The old general Wei Ming is in charge of the Haojiang camp now.

Wei Ming was born in a prominent family, and when he was young, he joined the army incognito.Later, relying on his own merits in battle, he was appointed as the prefect of the seven counties in the southern border area, and was called "General Brave".

If such a famous general is lucky enough to meet Ming Jun, he really doesn't have to worry about his official career.But more than ten years ago, the kings were in chaos, and Ming Huai Emperor was pushed to the position of king.

The emperor emphasized literature over martial arts, and advocated Huang Laodao's techniques.Wei Ming, a military general, was not taken seriously, and was soon involved in a copy by other officials for other crimes, and then he was demoted from his official position, and has been doing nothing.

Until more than a year ago, in the battle with Nantan, the Xiliang army was defeated on the front line and was forced to cede several cities.

Lu Huaiqi proposed to Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty that this former famous general could put on his battle robe again and become the commander of Haojiang camp.

Today, Lu Huaiqi and Wei Ming stood on the high platform on the training ground, looking down.After more than a year of rest, the morale of the soldiers in the Haojiang camp was strong, and they were no longer as weak and incompetent as before.

Lu Huai raised his hands and looked at the soldiers on the school field with satisfaction, then turned his head to Wei Ming who was beside him and said, "This time I came to Haojiang camp in person, not only to condolences to the soldiers on behalf of the emperor, but also hope to directly General Wei, you have spoken thoroughly. Our Xiliang has been in a corner all these years, and it has been watched by other countries on the mainland. The cities that Nantan invaded and occupied our Xiliang have not been recovered until now. I I think General Wei doesn't need to be transferred to other places this time. You help the emperor to drill/train the soldiers of the Haojiang camp. It will take at least one or two months, and at most two or three months. The people of Nantan are ashamed."

The ambition in these words is bare fruit.Wei Ming used to despise Lu Huaiqi, such a wicked eunuch, but when he missed the frontier, the civil servants in the court would only scold them for being incompetent generals.However, Lu Huaiqi subdued Ming Huai Emperor at this time and let him take charge of the Jihaojiang camp.

Not only that, several generals who were not valued like him were more or less reused because of Lu Huaiqi's relationship.

These generals, it is their duty to defend their home and country.

They don't care how Lu Huaiqi fights and intrigues with those civil officials in the court.

So when Lu Huaiqi said that he could ask Nan Tan to return the lost city, Wei Ming straightened his back and his face suddenly became serious.

"You don't need Dudu Lu to worry about the matter of leading the army. As long as Dudu Lu can appease the civil officials in the court, I am not boasting. As long as the emperor is willing to give the order to attack Nantan, the veteran will definitely take us back for Xiliang. of the lost lands."

A veteran will certainly not disappoint.

Lu Huaiqi nodded lightly, "Since General Wei has put his words aside, the governor believes in General Wei's ability. General Wei only needs to lead his troops with peace of mind in the future, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court."

When Lu Huai said this, Wei Ming felt a little relieved.

When Lu Huaiqi came down from the school field, Zhang Li came directly in front of him.When Lu Huaiqi saw Zhang Li appearing in front of him, his fox eyes narrowed habitually.

"Why did you come here? Did something happen in the palace?"

Zhang Li was busy all the way, "Governor, it's not good. The emperor was bewitched by concubine Liu Guifei, his brother and sister, and other officials, and started killing our people."

Although the governor of their family had arranged everything before leaving Liangjing City, it's just that Concubine Liu Gui and the others joined forces with Xilin party members and Liu Zhi this time. People from these camps colluded together, and the emperor made tiger skins for them. The people they placed in the palace before are not easy to do.

As soon as they fought, the emperor directly defined them as rebels, and it was even more impossible for them to stand up.

He really had no choice, so he rushed to the frontier alone.

An accident happened to Liang Jingcheng, and Lu Huai's breath suddenly turned cold, "How is A Li now?"

"Madam has been placed under house arrest by their group." Zhang Li replied.

Lu Huai raised his brows and frowned slightly, those people in Liang Jingcheng were really more worried than each other.

"Li Zhang, you go and prepare right now, and we'll go back right away." Although she knew in her heart that those people in Liang Jingcheng would definitely keep his Ali to blackmail him, she had no fear of her life for the time being.But she was really worried about her in her heart, so she could only temporarily change his plan.

After half a stick of incense, Lu Huaiqi had already rushed back in the direction of Liang Jingcheng on his horse and Zhang Li.After the two of them left, Liu Zhi, who was holding the edict of Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty, also arrived at the Haojiang barracks.

When he learned that he missed Lu Huaiqi, Liu Zhi scolded Lu Huaiqi and had to hurry back to the city, hoping to catch up with Lu Huaiqi on the way.
