Chapter 23

"Who is he?"

"Chu Li."

"Who is Chu Li?"

"The present prince."

"Heh..." Qing Xia couldn't help sneering, her voice was light, with a hint of sarcasm, "If he is just the current prince, do you think you can still kneel here safe and sound, you keep saying that you want to see Chu Li, But I didn't ask myself, do I have the face to see him again?"

"This is a matter between me and him, and it's not your turn to talk about it." Xiao Guifei's face was pale, she raised her neck high, and said coldly.

Sitting on the luanjia, Qing Xiaan looked at the woman kneeling in the cold wind, her heart suddenly became cold, she put her chin in one hand, and said slowly: "Unexpectedly, Zhu Ji would not hesitate to murder herself for adultery. The story of my own son is happening again today. Concubine Xiao, since I can come here today, I have the right to talk to you. Chu Li doesn’t want to see you, don’t you understand?”

"Why doesn't he want to see me!" Concubine Xiao Gui stood up furiously, standing in the long wind wearing a white fox fur, her black hair flying, her face full of resentment, she said in a hateful voice: "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be where he is today, I am his mother! He is an unfilial son, conspiring to sway the government, cunning and shameless, and his crimes cannot be forgiven..."

"Shut up!" Qing Xia stood up suddenly, shouted condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "To this day, you still have the face to stand outside the gate of the East Palace and say that you are his mother?"

Qingxia walked down the Luanjia step by step, looked at Concubine Xiao Gui with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Back when you sent the young him to Qi State as a hostage for your own selfishness, did you realize that you were his concubine?" When he came back from Qi after a near death, and you asked him to take the place of your youngest son on the battlefield, did you realize that you were his mother? When you conspired to usurp the throne and conspired with your lover to overthrow your own son in exchange for blood Did you realize that you are his mother? You have been using him to deceive him and even tried to kill him, but you still have the face to stand here and say that you are his mother? Ashamed to be a mother! Conspiring to disrupt the country, ashamed to be a wife! Now, your conspiracy was exposed and your adulterer was arrested, yet you are still standing here so arrogantly, relying on such a ridiculous Blood relationship, trying to ask your son to obey the rules and filial piety, and release your lover. How can a shameless, trustless and heartless woman like you deserve to say that he is your son here!"

Concubine Xiao's face instantly turned white, she stared blankly at Qing Xia, her lips trembled, and suddenly she yelled, "You bastard! What are you, how dare you talk to me like this here? Come out, I want to see him, I want to see him!"

The noble concubine behind her turned into a crazy woman in an instant, Qingxia knew that it was because of everything she said, she had thought about it thousands of times in her heart, but she just refused to face it.Still relying on her identity as Chu Li's mother, she naively thought that everything would be calm and calm.Now that he woke up from the big dream, he suddenly understood that everything was powerless, that's why he lost his composure in such despair.

Poor people must have something to hate. The bitter fruit of this woman today all comes from what she did in the past. She can't blame the world and others, but she can only blame herself.

"Your Majesty, it's cold at night, let's get in the carriage." Rong Yuan beside him said softly.

Qing Xia shook her head, put on a thick long fur, turned around, raised her head, walked on the empty and long straight road, and walked slowly towards the magnificent East Palace of the Crown Prince, behind her were hundreds of servants with lowered eyebrows Maid, there is also a gleaming golden Luanfeng carriage.The night wind blows slowly, blowing over her thick fur and pale face, and the cries of Concubine Xiao behind her echo in the grand front of the Eastern Palace, with the four dark red walls and the mighty stone lions in front of the gate, Witness the decline of the First Lady of the Empire together.

The huge moon hung brightly in the sky, exuding a hazy yellow luster, Qing Xia sat on the edge of the pond with her knees hugged, the surrounding was silent, only unknown insects were chirping loudly.

In the blink of an eye, one month had passed, everything seemed like a big dream, and her life also took a huge turning point in a strange arc.When she woke up many mornings, she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. It seemed that she had never faced this problem soberly.Although she is a soldier, she is also a woman, with an evasive mentality and things she doesn't want to face.

But this time, the death of the Lanting palace man deeply shocked her.

It turns out that in this world, there is really no one who stays out of things.

All the prince's east palaces were framed for suspected witchcraft, only Lanting Palace and Yunxiang Palace were spared.She doesn't know how Concubine Dan found out, but she herself discovered that there are hundreds of mysterious people with high martial arts skills hidden in the plum forest. Therefore, the Lanting Palace survived, but the enemy discovered the mistake.

The people in Merlin didn't know her identity, so they naturally locked their targets in the two uninvolved palaces.At that time, the rebellion hadn't started yet, and killing her rashly would cause unnecessary trouble and danger, so they blocked the palace's news channels, and after the operation started, people from the two palaces were detained in one place, just for the convenience of setting fire. Unknowingly kill.

She didn't even think of such a superficial killing?If she stayed there, she would definitely not let people quietly set fire to kill people.

It's a pity that she overestimated her weight. She has always looked down on these ancient people, thinking that she has superior insight and knowledge beyond the times. She has always been like a spectator, watching the things here. , But it is such an arrogant psychology that has caused today's situation.

After the fire scene that day, she had seen with her own eyes the charred corpses of everyone in the Lanting Palace. Those hideous corpses, whose faces could not be distinguished, hit her heart like a heavy hammer, and she immediately came out of the dream. Do you really think that you are invincible when you get out of the middle?This kind of mentality can only harm those around you.

For example, those palace maids who died tragically, Xiangju who was beyond recognition, and His Royal Highness Yunxiang who were implicated innocently.

Can no longer be so sloppy and passive, Qing Xia stood up, staring at the dead Meilin to the west with fixed eyebrows.

The Thirteenth Prince?She won't just eat up this loss without saying a word.

Just as he was lost in thought, a loud noise suddenly came from the woods beside the pond.Qing Xia was interrupted from thinking, walked over quietly, pushed aside the bushes, only to see a group of low-level guards fighting together.

The harem of Southern Chu is not the same as the ancient times in Qingxia's memory, unlike the later generations where only eunuchs, who are not considered men, walk. The guards and medical officers of the Southern Chu court all have their own living palaces in the harem.It's just that when the distinguished female relatives come in and out, they avoid it a little bit.There has just been a riot in the palace, and a large number of guards have been strengthened. Occasional fights are trivial, as long as the higher-ups are not disturbed.

Qing Xia also didn't want to pay too much attention to the things here, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Concubine Lan is here!"

An exclamation suddenly sounded, and when the beating guards heard it, they dispersed immediately, leaving only a thin young man in a blue leather armor lying on the grass, hunched over, and it seemed that he had been severely beaten.

Qing Xia stopped in her tracks for a moment, and looked towards the side of the short tree with frowned eyebrows, only to see a young guard in Tsing Yi suddenly jumped out from behind the short tree. Beside the guard who hit him, he helped him up and said in a low voice: "Ayu, how are you?"

"I don't care about you!" The guard who was beaten pushed him aside, raised his bruised and swollen face, and said sharply, "Why don't you go flatter that bitch, you don't need to waste my time here."

"Let's go." The Tsing Yi guard didn't take it seriously at all, but came forward again, helped the young man who was beaten, and said in a deep voice: "If they find out later that Empress Lan didn't pass by, they will definitely come back."

"I'm afraid you'll leave by yourself, you're as cowardly as a mouse, you know how to please those stinky women, you're useless!" Ayu stood up cursingly, throwing off the support of the guards in Tsing Yi.

"Ah Yu..."

"Get out!" Ah Yu roared, and said loudly: "Yang Feng, from today onwards, I will no longer recognize you as a brother. I will avenge the master's revenge by myself! Miss, I will save it by myself! I don't need you!" Wolf-hearted bastard!"

Pushed by A Yu, Yang Feng staggered back two steps.Ayu stood tremblingly, looking at Yang Feng angrily, his face was bruised and his nose was still covered with bloodstains, seeing that Yang Feng didn't speak, he continued to curse loudly, almost crying: "Back then, if there was no miss , you and I have long starved to death on Shengdu Street. I, Chen Yu, am a man of conscience! Unlike you, I only know how to flatter those bitches who show their heads all day long. Have you forgotten the oath we made at the beginning? Oh, miss is still suffering in that kind of place, but you are happy here, do you have a conscience!"

Chen Yu wiped his nose that continued to bleed with his hands, then suddenly tripped and fell to the ground again, bleeding from one leg, it seemed that he was injured in the fight just now.

Yang Feng scolded Ren Chenyu without saying a word, but when he saw him fall, he hurried forward and said in a deep voice, "Is there a broken bone? Let's go back and look for Lao Hu."

"I don't need you to control whether I live or die. Go get promoted and make a fortune yourself!"

"Ayu!" Yang Feng yelled suddenly, with sword eyebrows drawn into his temples, and said in a deep voice: "You and I have been fleeing famine from southern Xinjiang to Shengdu together since we were eight years old. For more than ten years, don't you know who I am? ?”

"Yes!" Chen Yu shouted loudly: "It's because I know who Yang Feng was in the past. I don't understand now. Why did you become like this? You didn't go to the master's court that day, and the lady was betrayed." You didn't go to rescue the official prostitute camp! Now the Lin family has been raided, but you are here to hang around those women, how can you be worthy of the master's kindness of nurturing for so many years?"
