Chapter 21

No longer caring about the cracked hot water tank, he hugged the woman out of it. Chu Li looked terrified, hugged the woman's waist tightly, opened his eyes nervously, and shook her body violently , shouted sharply: "Qing Xia! Qing Xia!"

The woman didn't respond at all, her ferocious face burned by the fire looked like a devil.Chu Li's eyes suddenly looked like a devil, revealing a strong hatred, he tightly grabbed the woman's shoulders, and shouted sharply at her face: "Zhuang Qingxia, I order you to wake up! If you dare to resist the order, I will Kill your whole family!"

"Bastard!" A crisp curse suddenly came.Chu Li's face was shocked, and then he was overjoyed. He hugged the woman's body and shouted loudly: "Qing Xia, are you awake? Are you awake?"

"Hurry up! Do you want to die if you stay here?" There was a soft voice, and Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the voice came from behind, and turned around violently, only to see Qing Xia wearing a white cotton gown of a court lady, with her back on her back. A woman in a bright yellow brocade robe kicked open the slanted door, rushed in, grabbed Chu Li's hand and shouted something.

She was so close at this moment, but Chu Li couldn't hear any sound, he just stared blankly at her safe and sound face, his heart was filled with great joy in an instant.

"You're still alive." With a long breath, Chu Li suddenly felt sore and limp all over. He stretched out his ape arm and held Qing Xia into his arms. His voice was full of ecstasy as if he was relieved from a heavy burden, and it all turned into this low sigh. :"you are still alive."

Qingxia's delicate body was taken aback, an elusive trace flashed in her eyes, and then she said shortly: "Go quickly! Don't stay here for long!" Immediately, she put the cloak on her shoulders on Chu Li's shoulders, and the wet cloak Instantly extinguishing the fire on Chu Li's body, and holding Chu Li's thick arm, Qing Xia said calmly: "There is no one alive, let's go out."

"Boom!" The huge palace finally collapsed amidst the fire. At the last moment, Qing Xia and Chu Li jumped out of the collapsed palace and lay down on the scorching ground.

The bright starlight shone on the two of them, and everything seemed to have passed away.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xiangju is overly frightened and anxious, so she speaks nonsense and doesn't express her meaning. The injuries on her face and body are not serious, but if she wants to restore her appearance, it will be extremely difficult."

The judge of the Taiyuan Hospital, Doctor Sun, said in a deep voice, his face looked very heavy.Qingxia was wearing a light blue brocade cloud pattern robe, standing in the empty Lanting hall, looking a bit lonely and desolate, she nodded faintly, her voice revealing an indescribable exhaustion, "Thank you, Doctor Sun. "

"Your Majesty is serious, but your body needs more conditioning and self-cultivation."

"I see."

The aged elder sighed slightly, handed the medicine box to the apprentice at the side, saluted Qing Xia, turned around and walked out of the Lanting Hall.The setting sun casts a long shadow on the old man, and there is not a scene of depression and decline, just like this Orchid Pavilion Hall, shrouded in a layer of traces of decline and sorrow.

"Your Majesty, go and rest. You didn't sleep last night, and you've been busy all day today." A girl who looked sixteen or seventeen obediently came forward, held Qing Xia's arm, and gently persuaded her. with.

Qing Xia shook her head, and asked in a deep voice: "Is Xiangju asleep?"

"Physician Sun gave me the injection, and I'm already asleep now." The girl replied obediently, seeing Qing Xia's complexion darkened, and continued: "The lives of slaves and servants belong to the mother, and Sister Xiangju suffers for the mother. That's luck."

Qing Xia couldn't help laughing bitterly, the secret passage didn't happen to her, so it can be said to be a blessing, if something really happened, who would want to suffer for others?In this world, whose fate is born to belong to others?Shaking her head, she didn't speak. Above the empty hall, there were a few servant girls temporarily transferred by Chu Li to serve her.

The turmoil last night severely damaged the Chu Palace, countless people died tragically, and the old emperor is still unconscious.Chu Li led [-] soldiers from the Military Plane Battalion into the palace overnight to quell the chaos, and then dispatched the Green Battalion from outside the city to take up guard duties.The imperial city of Shengdu was in a state of chaos overnight, people's hearts were unstable, and there was a smell of war and chaos everywhere.The common people stayed at home and did not dare to go out, for fear of harming the fish in the pond.Today, the situation is getting more and more chaotic.Qing Xia knew that with Chu Li's current military strength, it would be easy to stabilize the situation, but he did not do so, instead making the situation even more chaotic, as if deliberately muddying the water.Qingxia understands the deep meaning in this, and even more civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Therefore, with the fire of the thirteen princes, the imperial court that did not obey Chuli in the past started a big purge.From now on, the power structure of Nanchu needs to be reshuffled.

A round of painstaking efforts, but until the end, who can judge which one is the oriole hiding in the darkness?Qing Xia slightly closed her eyes, and leaned against the beauty in the bedroom, the evening sun cast blood-red light on her body, creating a strange and beautiful splendor.

Chu Li leaned against the door frame, holding the helmet in his arms, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, which had not closed his eyes all day and all night.But at this moment, he didn't want to disturb her, many past events were circling in his mind, the young child in Daqi Palace back then echoed before his eyes again.

At the age of nine, he was sent to the capital of Daqi by his father as a hostage.No one knows how he spent those days, alone in a foreign country, judging everyone's face and being discriminated against everywhere.For more than ten years, in the eyes of Qi's monarchs and ministers, he has always been a cowardly, useless and weak prince.He endured all the shame and all the contempt, just so that one day he could stand upright on a high place, look down on those who had trampled on him, and trample them hard under his feet.

It was in that year that I met Qingxia.

Although there is no support in Qidu, as a hostage, he can still get the opportunity to study in Taixue.And Zhuang Dianru is the seat teacher in Taixue.

At that time, Qingxia was only six years old, innocent and young, with a warm smile and delicate face.Qingxia has no mother, so she often pretends to be a book boy and follows Mr. Zhuang to the school.When the princes of Qi State were in class, she sat on the high threshold, resting her chin and waiting for Mr. Zhuang to finish the get out of class.He still remembers that the threshold is very high, almost half of Qingxia's.She often has to lift her legs hard to cross the threshold.Of course, the seat of Proton would not be too close to Mr. Ding Xingwang, a native of Qi, with many princes, he was always in the last seat, looking at the Ying Luo on the back of the head of the princes in front of him, in a daze.

"Yeah! What's the matter with you?"

Up to now, Chu Li can still clearly remember the scene of their first conversation. On that day, the Ronghua Palace of Qi State, which was illuminated by the sun, seemed to be melting, and the sun was shining brightly everywhere.Xia Chan squeaked on the tree, as annoying as if it was about to explode.

He walked alone on the long corridor, his clothes were torn and his face was covered with blood.The snot and tears flowed out, hanging around the mouth, looking very dirty.But he didn't wipe it off, his heart was slowly filled with anger, grievance, but also fear.

The new clothes that the nanny who followed from Chu State had just sold her jewelry were torn to pieces by Qi Yu, the third prince of Qi State, and his companions. At that time, he had just arrived in Qi State and did not understand Keep a low profile and hide your strength.He was so angry that he had a fight with others. He was beaten by more than a dozen people, his nose was broken, and there was a long blood trail. The group of people shouted around him and tore his clothes arrogantly. , and kicked him out of the garden.

At the most embarrassing moment, he met Qing Xia who was sitting in the corridor.She was wearing a small pink gown, with a high bun on her small head, and the sun shone on her fair skin, giving off a layer of golden light.Seeing her coming, the girl jumped down suddenly, pointed at her nose and shouted, "Ah! What's wrong with you?"

That was the first time they met, he was still a down-and-out prince from a foreign country, and she was still a young child who didn't know how to worry.

From then on, she became his only friend in the huge Ronghua Palace.The state of Chu was weak, so naturally he would not be treated with courtesy as a proton, and time gradually accumulated, allowing him to clearly understand his situation.He began to hide himself, stopped talking, stopped contradicting others, and stopped showing off. He could even smile obsequiously at the many princes of Qi, and even personally bribe those old scumbag eunuchs in the court. His cowardice successfully confused the nobles and dignitaries of the entire Ronghua Palace, and even King Qi sneered at him, "The son of the elk, how can he fight a wolf?"

Except for Mr. Zhuang from Taixue, he clearly saw the unfathomable scheming of this ten-year-old boy amidst everyone's cold eyes and contempt.Finally, under the pressure of Qi State, Chu Li, who was still in Qi State's hostage, ascended to the throne of Chu State Prince.That night, Mr. Zhuang came to his small bedroom and asked him word by word in the empty hall: "Are you happy that you have deceived everyone?"

Are you happy?Are you happy?Do not!He was never happy.He walked forward cautiously in the dark, but no one could help him.He knew that Qi State needed a puppet prince to complete the control of Chu State, so he did everything possible to make himself meet this standard, so that after returning to Chu in the future, he could continue to fight for power with those brothers and sisters above the court Seize the position.He understands the importance of power too well, and he must firmly grasp his own destiny.
