The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 357 The Weird Boy

Luzhu hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your maidservant knows, Madam, don't worry, even if this servant is dead, she will definitely not betray your empress."

Xu Qiushui smiled in satisfaction, showing both kindness and prestige is her usual way of managing the harem.This green bead can also be regarded as knowledgeable.

In early spring, the peach trees planted in the Palace of Yuejun had already pulled out their branches. After a night of spring rain, there were slightly peach blossoms on the treetops, and they happened to come in through the open window.

The weather gradually warmed up, dragged off the heavy cotton coat, and put on a light spring shirt.

Qin Wange was wearing a plain beige embroidered with acacia flowers. It was elegant and delicate. Her black hair was simply tied up with a sandalwood hairpin. She is three points more beautiful than spring.

She was reading with a book in her hand, and Liu Ruxin was also studying with a roll of piano score that she got from somewhere, and the two of them were chatting with each other.

"The queen was released from the Li Palace for the past few days, but she was quite peaceful, and she didn't come to trouble us." Liu Ruxin said.

"The empress has suffered such a big loss at our hands, so naturally she should restrain herself. No matter how stupid she is, she should know that we are evenly matched. If she is not [-]% sure that I will be killed, she can't make a move." Qin Wange flipped Opened a new page to read, and said casually.

"Speaking of which, Qifeng Palace should be proud of it this time. I thought the emperor would be involved in investigating Chen Caiwei's matter later. Who knew that he did it cleanly. It's a pity for Jiang Yiran." Liu Ru Xin said and sighed.

The corners of Qin Wange's mouth raised, and the sarcasm was self-evident: "If they were not absolutely sure, how dare they push the whole thing on Jiang Yiran? What happened that day, Chen Caiwei and Xu Qiushui could completely If you retreat, there must be someone behind you who is secretly helping you."

Liu Ruxin thought of the familiar pair of eyes she saw in the inner room of Caiwei Palace that day, her heart throbbed, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that Liu Ruxin didn't speak, Qin Wange didn't think too much, and asked, "Speaking of which, Master Liu and the others have left Beijing for half a month, so they should be in Yongzhou."

Liu Ruxin was brought back to her senses by her words, "Yes, the 40 troops of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and our Xiling army are currently facing each other. Although they haven't fought each other, they have been at a stalemate. I don't know how the situation will develop." Liu Ruxin said It was hard to hide the worry in the words.

Liu Ruxin was worried about the safety of her elder brother Liu Chenyue.

Qin Wange was also afraid that Eastern Zhou and Xiling would go to war. When the two countries fought, the people would suffer.She only hoped that Situ Yan could deal with the matter in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and send Xuanyuan Lie back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The land connecting Xiling and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is Longshouyuan. The loess on the endless Longshouyuan is dry and cracked. No one knows how much blood of soldiers has been drunk in this barren land.

It's already early spring inside the pass, and the willows are swaying, but the sky outside the pass is still full of yellow sand, and there is no vitality.

In such a place, a cluster of bright red flowers blooms very strangely.

I saw that there were still dewdrops on the flower, full of vitality, but the red flower was too delicate and beautiful, and the dewdrops adhered to it, like fresh blood.

At this time, two people quietly appeared from nowhere.

I saw one of them was dressed very strangely. He was wearing a black robe, and he could not tell his age. He wrapped himself tightly from head to toe, and exuded a gloomy air of death around him. The white boa constrictor is chilling.

A person beside him was dressed gorgeously, with the pattern of nine dragons embroidered with gold thread on the purple skirt. He looked about thirty or so, with handsome eyebrows.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bit of haze between this person's eyebrows, and a pair of cold eyes make people think of snakes for no reason.

In front of the red flower, the man in black grabbed the white python with one hand, and cut open the python's flesh with a dagger in the other hand, but saw the blood pouring into the middle of the flower, and the air exuded a disgusting smell of blood.

But the clump of gorgeous flowers squirmed like devouring the most delicious food.

If you are careful, you can see that the clump is not flowers, but countless tiny red bugs.

Seeing that the living flowers seemed to be alive, the man in the Chinese robe beside him asked, "His Royal Highness, when will you be able to develop this rebirth Gu?"

The man in black took off the hat on his head, but saw that this person was none other than An Lingsu's younger brother, Harry.If Qin Wange was here, he must be very surprised by the child's change.

I saw that the young man with handsome features had changed greatly in just one year. His immature eyebrows and eyes had grown, and his appearance was five points similar to that of An Lingsu. Born in this man, he was exceptionally feminine. beauty.

A red flower bloomed at the corner of his eye and brow, very similar to the flower on Longshouyuan. He exuded a cold aura all over his body, like a Shura crawling out of hell, and there was no trace of the innocent boy he once was. ?
"Rebirth Gu is extremely difficult to grow, and requires a lot of fresh blood to irrigate. But rest assured, Your Majesty, within a month, this Rebirth Gu can be cultivated, and when the past life flowers bloom all over Longshouyuan, His Majesty will be done." With a smug look on Harry's face, he said to the man in front of him.

It is none other than the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xuanyuan Lie's elder brother, Xuanyuan Yu, whom Harry respectfully called His Majesty.His outline is three points similar to Xuanyuan Lie. Anyone who knows Xuanyuan Lie can tell at a glance that they are brothers.

Xuanyuan Yu is gorgeous, and anyone with a discerning eye can easily see his identity.

In early spring, in an inconspicuous courtyard of the Lingzhou Prince's Mansion, red apricots sprouted from the branches and poked their heads out of the courtyard.

Beside the stone table in the yard, a man in blue poured a glass of wine alone, raised his glass, looked at the flowers and sighed: "The spring in the garden can't be closed, a branch of red apricot came out of the wall."

Situ Yan pushed open the courtyard door and entered, and heard the man in blue's sentimental remarks, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he didn't take it seriously: "Your Highness is in such a good mood, the battle between Xiling and Eastern Zhou is imminent, and His Highness can still drink and chant poems. This kind of mind, I must admire."

The man in blue turned his head when he heard the words, his baby face was the symbol of Xuanyuan Lie, and he also put on a high-pitched attitude: "Although the war between the two countries is about to break out, it is the prince who has a headache, and there is a prince Now, why should I bother?"

Situ Yan raised his eyebrows slightly,
Seeing Situ Yan's complexion, Xuanyuan Lie changed his baby face into a flattering smile, "As long as the prince can find out the cause of my father's death for me and send me to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I will definitely not embarrass the prince."

Now that he has something to ask for from others, if he touches Situ Yan's bottom line, he will turn his face and deny others.

"Hmm." Situ Yan snorted, seemingly not seeing the flattery on Xuanyuan Lie's face, and threw a stack of papers in front of him: "This is the list of officials who participated in the murder of your father and the people who betrayed you. With these things, after returning to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, your road to the throne should be much easier."

A gleam of joy flashed in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, and he took the list from Situ Yan's hand. After seeing the names on the list, the smile on his face was slowly replaced by a murderous look.

There was a smile on the corner of Situ Yan's mouth, no matter how cynical Xuanyuan Lie was in front of others, the Xuanyuan Lie in front of him was the real Xuanyuan Lie.

Apart from his stinginess and stinginess, Xuanyuan Lie is a respectable opponent and friend.Therefore, if you bet on Xuanyuan Lie, you won't lose any money.

"It turned out to be Suo Tuya who betrayed this king. If I wait for this king to return, he will definitely be hacked into pieces." Xuanyuan Lie's tone was serious.

Suo Tuya is Xuanyuan Lie's confidant of bodyguards, he is away all year round, Suo Tuya is his eyeliner in the capital, his trust in Suo Tuya is self-evident.Unexpectedly, even he was bribed by Xuanyuan Yu.

Looking back now, if it wasn't for Suo Tuya's betrayal, why would he know nothing about the affairs of the capital? It wasn't until he returned to the capital that he found out that he had fallen into the trap carefully set by Xuanyuan Yu, and escaped with injuries.

Seeing Xuanyuan Lie's annoyed face, Situ Yan had a smile on his mouth, and in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, there was a taste of gloating: "Fourth prince, I have spent a lot of thought on finding out the traitor for you this time, I hope the fourth prince Don't let this king down."

Xuanyuan Lie said lightly: "King of Lingzhou is at ease. I promise to take back the throne later. According to what I said before, Eastern Zhou will withdraw its troops; if the prince and the emperor of Xiling confront each other head-on in the future, Dong Zhou will support the prince. It is his duty."

Situ Yan nodded.

Xuanyuanlie then asked: "It's been so long, has the prince ever found out who is the person who colluded with the emperor in Nanjiang? If I don't wash off the stigma on my body, I won't be able to rob that one in a fair manner." Location."

"The person who colluded with Xuanyuan Yu is Harry, Prince of Southern Xinjiang." Situ Yan hesitated for a moment, reluctant to say the name.

After the words fell, Xuanyuan Lie looked at Situ Yan in surprise, as if to say: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

The Prince of Nanjiang is still young, timid and cowardly, no one will ever list him as a threat.

Relying on the technique of poisonous Gu, Nanjiang conquered the surrounding tribes and became the most powerful country in the southwest. Because it is good at using Gu to kill people invisible, it has always been the target of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xiling.

Although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty surrendered to Xiling, the imperial power of the Xiling royal family is now declining. It no longer has the strength of the overlord when there were generals Qin Han and the former queen Qin Wange, so they began to annex Southern Xinjiang—annexed Southern Xinjiang. There is one more chance of winning against Xiling.

It was precisely because of the vast territory of Southern Xinjiang and the combat effectiveness of the people of Southern Xinjiang that Situ Rui also had the intention of annexing Southern Xinjiang.

However, today's Nanjiang monarch and Taigezong are greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing the two countries eyeing Nanjiang covetously, they thought of getting married and sent An Lingsu to Xiling, hoping to dispel Situ in a good way. Rui's idea of ​​annexing southern Xinjiang, by the way, he found a reliable backer.
