Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 255

Concubine Shu's face was ashen, and she ate for a while and said: "There are so many such things in Yizhou, you can't accuse me of such heinous crimes just because I am from Yizhou!"

"Enough!" Xiao Jue shouted angrily, Concubine Shu trembled all over, and dared not speak again.

Qin Changge sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Concubine Shu, don't worry, as for the evidence, as long as I want to ask, I can ask, don't you know? Surrounded, in a family as big as yours, there will always be one or two people who don't keep their mouths shut, don't worry."

She straightened up, and said coldly: "I have to admire everyone for blocking the good news. If it weren't for the fact that the person you sent to guard Wenchang was inappropriate and addicted to women's sex, the princess was close to the maid in exchange for the opportunity to go out and informed me. I'm afraid that His Majesty will be assassinated by the Taiwei's subordinates hiding around the Chengning Palace today?"

She stepped out of the inner hall in one step, and made a one-handed slashing gesture to the head of the Shan Du Battalion who was quietly waiting outside the hall!

The sound of neat footsteps immediately sounded, and immediately under the garden bridge under the roof porch, all the places where people could hide, there were sounds of fighting!

There are shouts of killing everywhere, fires are lit everywhere, the sound of the roof tiles being trampled by the fleeing and chasing crowd on the top of the hall continues to be heard, and the sound of the wind and the clash of weapons are intertwined like a net, covering the autumn rain The continuous Shengning Palace.

Amid the clanging sounds above the head and the sound of people falling, the five people in the luxurious inner hall burning with warm charcoal fire were silent.

They are all fighting silently, listening silently to the collision of the two forces, one side has been lurking for a long time, and the other side is coming with momentum, life and death, there is no tolerance.

After a long time, the sound of shouting and killing gradually died down, and there was a groaning sound faintly swaying in the wind, which sounded a little scary from a distance. Blood Flower, reported loudly, "Your Majesty, the perpetrators of rebellion have been defeated. A total of 2000 people were killed, 310 were killed, 820 were injured, and the rest will be arrested!"

The still air grew stiller and deadlier.

After a long time, on the seat, Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly sighed and closed her eyes.

Concubine Shu suddenly let out a wailing cry, and threw herself on the knee of Xiao Jue who was sitting still and sneering all the time.

"Your Majesty! Forgive me! One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace! This concubine is the only concubine you have been lucky enough to have in the past five years, and you love me!"

"Lucky!"

One sentence was like a thunderbolt, making Xiao Jue stand up abruptly, knocking Concubine Shu who was holding his knee to the ground.

"Lin Xing?" He was so startled that even his voice changed a little, "Concubine Shu! You are crazy! You think I should not use such a stupid way to spare your life! You are talking nonsense, and I can give you death immediately!"

Concubine Shu raised her face, and the delicate makeup of Lihua with rain looked really pitiful, but this pathos was hard to impress the emperor's heart at the moment, Xiao Jue stared at her, wanting to eat people.

When people are in a desperate situation, they don't have too many scruples. Concubine Shu has already thrown away the original warning when she was in danger. She cried and walked a few steps, hugging Xiao Jue's legs, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... At the beginning..."

"Concubine Shu!" The Empress Dowager Jiang, who had kept her eyes closed all this time, suddenly said, her voice was as cold as jade beads colliding, with a faint chill, "You're in a coma! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qin Changge, who had been listening with his hands behind his back, suddenly flicked his sleeve leisurely, and said lightly: "It is said that the truth comes from a dangerous situation, and I want to hear the words from the heart of Concubine Shu."

Xiao Jue immediately turned to stare at her, his eyes were full of anxiety, if he hadn't been worried about the presence of Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Zhang Shu, he might have rushed up to express his heart, Qin Changge smiled at him, it was completely a kind of courtier's attitude towards the emperor. respectful smile.

Xiao Jue's heart sank, and his eyes moved down to Concubine Zhang Shu's crying face, wishing to kick her to death, but now the more Changge is like this, the more suspicious he will be, in desperation he sneered: "At the beginning What? I love you or not, I don’t know if I’ve ever been lucky enough to be with you? If you want to die, I’ll naturally fulfill you, come—”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Zhang Shu stopped crying suddenly, raised her face, stared at Xiao Jue closely, and said clearly: "For tonight's matter, Your Majesty wants all the concubines to die and all the concubines to be executed. Regarding the matter of words, no matter how stupid the concubine is, she will not be so stupid as to lie at this hour. How dare the concubine go above and beyond the felony and receive another crime of deceiving the emperor? Your Majesty’s concubine was lucky to be there five years ago, three years in Tianbi On the ninth day of February, the first seven days of the queen..."

"You fart!" Under the fury, Xiao Jue burst out even swearing. With a bang, the armrest in his hand was completely broken and shattered, and sawdust fell on Concubine Shu's head. Obviously he had already given up, and he continued without stopping: "That day, His Majesty suddenly broke into the Mingyang Palace where the concubine lived. His Majesty kept calling the concubine 'Qingqing', and said that the concubine is better than...better than her—"

Xiao Jue was standing on the ground with his face flushed and trembling all over. He was so angry that he could hardly speak. His fingers convulsively opened and closed again. Every time he opened something, something would be crushed by his overflowing zhenqi, and he could not stop shooting at Concubine Shu. On her body, Concubine Shu rolled around in embarrassment to avoid, but her mouth never stopped.

She has always been a shrewd woman, and she has already felt that after she uttered those words, the situation between His Majesty and Taishi Zhao is weird. Tonight is already a dead end. Even though he was so frightened by Xiao Jue's soaring anger, he still insisted on saying it sentence by sentence.

However, Xiao Jue couldn't bear the smoke from his seven orifices, what should he do if Chang Ge misunderstood this crazy woman again?After two years of arduous pursuit of the road, it was so easy for her to loosen her heart a little. If this woman pried her away with a single word, he would die of anger!
With a frenzied wave of his hand, Xiao Jue couldn't control his true energy and shattered a huge sapphire bottle on the shelf next to him. Amid the piercing sound of shattering, he shouted: "Come on! Drag it out——"

The wolf-like guards had already been waiting at the bottom of the steps. Hearing the sound and rushing in, they didn't dare to look at the expressions of the people in the palace. They grabbed Concubine Shu and dragged her out!

Concubine Shu clung to the gold bricks on the ground, ignoring that the well-maintained nails of her hands were all broken, she raised her head and shouted: "Your Majesty said that the concubine is good anywhere!"

"Pull it out!"

"Remember, my concubine! On your majesty's dragon body, there is a red bean mole on the lower left abdomen!"

Deathly silence.

In an instant, the hall was filled with clay sculptures and wood carvings.

The inner hall, which had been in a mess just now, was suddenly so quiet that even the sound of tears falling on the carpet could be heard.

Empress Dowager Jiang sat stiffly on the throne, the guards were holding Concubine Shu's arms and stood there blankly, Xiao Jue was holding a shard of sapphire and stood there blankly, for a long while, blood slowly oozes between the fingers he held tightly.

Drop by drop, it fell on the blue jade light all over the ground.

Only Qin Changge was the calmest, and she suddenly smiled.

It's just that the smile seems a little pale no matter how you look at it.

She smiled, suddenly bowed to Xiao Jue, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is no longer a case of treason in the palace. People who are not subordinates can hear about it. I request you to retreat."

Without waiting for Xiao Jue to reply, he straightened up, turned his eyes to Concubine Shu who was staring at her closely, twitched the corner of his mouth at Xiao Jue, and turned around briskly.

The sleeve was suddenly pulled.

Qin Changge's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he glanced at the hand that was tightly grasping his sleeve. The obsidian embossed golden flying dragon on the hand was dignified and wild, but the owner of the hand seemed a little nervous, and his fingers were pale due to excessive force. color.

The blood in his palm had already stopped, but it burst again with such agitation and force, the blood quickly wetted her sleeves, it was wet and cool, as if she was in the mood at this moment.

Slowly raising his eyes, he met those deep black eyes.

what is that?Raging seas, huge waves, raging waves... There are undulating waves on top of each other, filled with puzzlement, confusion, grievances, sadness, anger, doubts... and even pleadings, coming layer after layer , One layer covered one layer, one layer was higher than one layer, and one layer was more intense and turbulent than one layer, trying to drown her.

what is that?In her eyes, there are smoke clouds, flying fog, misty forest... Faintly coming and going are all drifting mist, hiding thoughts, joys and sorrows, hearts and expressions, like a maze wall separated in front of you, a wall Another endless block, he fell into such eyes, as if unintentionally strayed into the astray, walked into Penglai, faintly heard Sanskrit singing in the distance, deep in the dense smoky trees, he could not see the way and the way back, knowing that he wanted to find The person or thing in front of you, but you don't know where it is.

Xiao Jue recalled in a daze, when she first met Mingshuang in Cuiwei Palace two years ago, she also vaguely had the same expression in her eyes, but now it seems that it is even more distant than then.

Did you lose her yourself?

Just because a crazy woman made irrefutable corrections, she must not believe me, right?

The blood flowed more urgently between Xiao Jue's fingers.

Qin Changge looked away, took a deep breath, and gently pulled his hand away.

No, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that at this moment I am also in a state of confusion, and I just want to escape from this moment of entanglement.

Along the way of rebirth, wind, knife, frost, and sword are pressing against each other. I thought I had gone through a lot of blood and fire, and the next step would be bright and brilliant. However, I suddenly smelled the harsh smell of fate, and some livid outlines quietly appeared in the darkness.

That makes me, uneasy.

With Qin Changge's flick, he has already brought his true strength.

Xiao Jue, who was caught off guard and excited, was staggered by her.

He supported the agarwood chair behind him, each holding a bloody handprint, but he just looked up at Qin Changge without any consciousness at all, his eyes were full of puzzlement and pain.

Qin Changge had already looked away, and hurried out.

The back of her rapidly descending the steps was getting farther and farther away, and the kneeling guards felt a yellow cloud flashing in front of her eyes, and she had walked out of the palace gate in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Jue stood on the ground in a daze, watching her back disappearing at the gate of Shengning Palace without hesitation, only felt a void and a pain in his heart, something slammed into him, making him feel like he wanted to vomit blood.

Someone behind him timidly asked, "Your Majesty..."
