Chapter 12

With a low voice, Qing Xia slammed the horse's stock hard, and quickly galloped away, leaving only first-class loess smoke and dust.

Qi An watched Qing Xia's frail figure gradually disappear on the dark post road, and felt a burst of sadness suddenly welling up in his heart.The moonlight is fading in the sky, and the long night is about to pass.

The road back to the city seemed much empty. When Qing Xia was trained in the 21st century, she had learned equestrianism, but even so, she couldn't compare with these ancient people who lived on horses all year round.After some turbulence, it only made her dizzy. In addition, the wound left when she fought with people in the dungeon before, blood was still gushing out at this moment.

In desperation, he had to abandon the horse halfway, but fortunately, Qing Xia is good at running in the wild, and it was not a problem to run dozens of kilometers back then.Tonight's action went unexpectedly smoothly, there is still plenty of time, Qing Xia gritted her teeth, hastily bandaged the wound, and ran towards Shengdu.

Naturally, it is no longer possible to enter through the city gate. Fortunately, the city wall is uneven at this time.For Qing Xia, an expert rock climber, he naturally did not pose any threat.Under the shining moonlight, I saw Qing Xia clinging to the city wall, climbing up like a gecko.

Concealment is Qing Xia's forte, returning to the city neatly, Qing Xia no longer hesitates, and quickly runs towards the inner city.

It took less than half a cup of tea to touch the inside of the imperial city. Although it has only been a few days since I came here, for an agent with a super memory, as long as he roughly looks at the location map, he will never know where he is. get lost.Familiar with the way, they crossed the front gate and entered the harem.When she evaded the secret whistle of the East Palace guards and approached the Lanting Hall, the east direction of the city was suddenly brightly lit, and the noise could still be heard even half a city away.It seems that the guards of the dungeon have discovered Qi An's escape.

Qing Xia silently calculated the distance from the east of the city to the imperial city, frowned, and did not go back to the master bedroom of the Lanting Hall, but went to the spacious bathroom.

It was easy to avoid those guarding servants, quickly took a combat bath, treated the wound on the lower abdomen, Qing Xia wrapped in a large bathrobe, and quietly returned to the master bedroom.

There is silence all around, and this time is often the most tiring time for people.Almost no need to bother to turn in from the rear window, and walk into the master bedroom through the front door without anyone knowing.

In the bedroom, incense was wafting, and the aroma was compelling. Chu Li was lying on the huge gum bed, still maintaining the posture when Qing Xia left just now, without even moving.Glancing at the hourglass, it was less than two hours, Qing Xia climbed onto the bed contentedly, and lay down next to Chu Li.After making such a fuss all night, now lying on this comfortable big bed, Qing Xia almost cried out in comfort.Regardless of the unconscious evil star beside him, he pulled off the quilt peacefully and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

However, everything tonight is destined not to allow her to rest peacefully.After a while, there was a rush of chaotic footsteps from outside the hall, and the attendants outside were agitated, whispering something like His Highness the Crown Prince's order not to enter without his order.I don't know what the people outside said, Shi Xuan, Chu Li's personal servant, finally knocked on the door boldly, and called softly in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness? Liu Sima of the Military Aircraft Camp has something to see .”

Chu Li was still sleeping soundly, without any reaction at all.Qing Xia frowned slightly, it stands to reason that she should have woken up at this time, if she doesn't wake up again, wouldn't everything be a mess.He only heard Shi Xuan yelled a few more words in a low voice. It was obvious that the so-called Liu Sima was impatient, and it looked as if Chu Li would rush in if he didn't wake up.Qing Xia raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, facing Chu Li's handsome face, and suddenly pinched it down fiercely!
"En..." Chu Li suddenly let out a muffled snort, and woke up with sleepy eyes.Finally, like a lion, he turned his head suddenly, glared at Qing Xia, and said in a deep voice: "You pinched me?"

"Excessive question." Qing Xia gave him a disdainful look, "I am here besides you, who else is there besides me?"

"You are so brave!" The man who was still awake was furious and shouted sharply.

"Someone is looking for you outside, I'm so anxious that I'm going crazy. If I don't call you, I'm afraid they will rush in." Qing Xia seemed indifferent, as if nothing happened.At this time, Shi Xuan outside seemed to respond to her words, and shouted a little louder: "Your Highness? Your Highness? Liu Sima has an important military report. Your Highness? Your Highness, are you awake?"

Chu Li put this unhappiness behind in an instant, obviously he also knew that Liu Sima's coming late at night would definitely not be a trivial matter.Quickly jumped out of bed, said to Qing Xia in a deep voice: "Changing clothes for me."

Qingxia looked impatiently at his upright look, and couldn't help feeling angry, but at this moment, she really shouldn't be angry with him.So he climbed out of the bed with a sullen expression, picked up his clothes beside him fiercely, and dressed him angrily.

Chu Li's dark complexion suddenly became more beautiful.The corners of his mouth were slightly pulled up, childishly triumphant, his eyes were closed, and he looked arrogant.Qing Xia was even more annoyed when she saw it, she exerted a little force on her hands, and the strap around her neck immediately tightened, almost killing Chu Li all of a sudden.

After putting on his clothes, shoes and socks, Chu Li stood up and walked towards the door with a look of might.When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, he turned around suddenly, and shouted angrily: "How did I fall asleep? Why don't I remember?"

Thank goodness he remembered it so quickly.Qing Xia was dressed in a cotton white nightgown, leaning lazily on the bedpost, picked up the white jade pillow at the head of the bed with one hand, and said to Chu Li lightly: "If you force me, I'll knock you out, it's that simple."

Chu Li was dumbfounded, completely unexpected that Qing Xia would be so honest.Just as he was about to twitch, the voice of the attendant outside the door rang again tremblingly: "Your Highness, are you awake? Liu Sima..."

"Shut up!" Chu Li suddenly yelled, and there was a uniform sound of kneeling and kowtowing outside.The furious man looked at the innocent Zhuang Qingxia, and said in a vicious and deep voice: "You wait, I'll settle this account later!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Scream! Shout! What are you screaming!" Chu Lihuo roared angrily, and the group muttered a few words before leaving abruptly.After a while, all the houses in the outer city were lit up.Qing Xia leaned against the window, clutching the wound on her lower abdomen, looking at the slightly pale sky in the east, her heart was desolately pale.

She can only do this, hoping that Qi An can escape safely, and she can no longer control the rest.

Tonight is destined to be a night where most people cannot fall asleep peacefully, but Qing Xia climbed onto the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already high in the sun, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiangju's big smiling face, but he didn't realize what was going on.The eight maids in charge of the Lanting Hall knelt on the ground in unison, and said to Qing Xia in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed."

A series of voices came from the outer hall one after another, Qing Xia turned her head to look, and saw a black mass of servants kneeling in the outer hall, each with a smiling face to greet everyone, just like picking up a treasure.

"You guys, what are you doing?" Qing Xia's head is as big as a bucket, and now she has a headache and back pain, she really doesn't know what to do, even though she is usually very clever, she is also at a loss.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for finally being favored by Mu and God's Grace. All the servants of our Orchid Pavilion, I wish your Majesty to conceive a dragon seed as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family." .

Hearing the words, Qingxia's head suddenly grew louder, secretly thinking that this is the case, Chu Li left late at night last night, and she woke up so late today, everything indicates a direction, that is - entering the palace Zhuang Qingxia, who hadn't been blessed for years, was finally favored last night by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is wise, martial and handsome.

Oh, this is really a great thing to be happy about.

For a whole day, the threshold of Lanting Hall was almost trampled to pieces.All the concubines and beauties in the entire harem, large and small, all flocked to the Lanting Hall to pay respects to Zhuang Qingxia, the upstart of the Chu Palace.

After all, the current emperor has been weak and sick for a year, and his rickets are lingering on the dragon bed all day long.For this emperor, the entire Southern Chu people did not have a good impression. Apart from giving birth to a fairly good son, this emperor seemed to be useless.When he was young, he was licentious and innocent, and did not ask about political affairs.He lost the two Qi wars because of his nonsense, and even needed his son to go to another country as a hostage to barely protect the country.A year ago, under his playful command, the mighty Chu State's million-strong army lost to those barbarians in southern Xinjiang who were holding stone tools, causing the barbarians in southern Xinjiang to fight all the way to Shengdu, causing the city to be devastated.If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't returned to the country in time, Chu would have perished long ago.

Therefore, in the Chu palace, the actual person in power is Chu Li.What everyone was waiting for was when the old emperor died.

In this way, Zhuang Qingxia rose to become one of the most powerful women in the Chu Palace. The Lanting Hall was as beautiful as ever, and the limelight was even better than Concubine Dan's Yunxiang Hall.

So, after a whole day, the Lanting Hall was very lively.Even if Qing Xia doesn't like it anymore, she still bites her head and tries her best to deal with those women who step up and step down.Night fell slowly, and along with the pitch-black night, an uninvited guest also came to this most lively place in today's harem.

According to the legend, the scene of women competing for husbands was not staged in the Lanting Palace that day. The women in the harem are not fools, and everything is not on the bright side.It is impossible for the emperor's favor to be long-lasting. Everyone is well aware of the principle of feng shui rotation, so they are all polite on the surface.
