In the Baohe Palace…
Everyone looked back and saw Wan Li standing at the gate together with a Taoist priest in black. Wan Li also had a gold box in his hand. He slightly raised his jaw with arrogance and shouted,
"Your Majesty, Priest Lei has come from far away with the Kunhuang Island map. Today the auspicious time arrives and I will give the true map to Your Majesty."
"The Shenle Marquis?" Emperor frowned, feeling confused. He looked at the door and muttered,
"How? Is there a false map?"
Gradually, the onlookers began to discuss secretly. With permission, Lord Zhang waved the horsetail whisk and announced the two people at the gate into the hall.
In full view of a large crowd, Wan Li walked fast and knelt down with Lei Huan under the golden platform.
With a disdainful smile, Wan Li cast a sideways glance at Leng Qingtang and said loudly,
"Your Majesty, the treasure map pr
"Hehe, does the medicine work so quickly?"Looking at the three corpses lying on the ground, Tu Muxue smiled wickedly,"Hey, it seemed that I put too much medicine. I haven't been on the carriage yet. I'll have trouble for a while..."She twisted her neck, making some grinding sounds, which were so harsh and horrible in the unusually quiet atmosphere.The girl tilted her head and an embroidered shoe slammed on Gu Yunyao's back. When she spoke, her voice was low and dumb, especially like a man, which was very different from that of lightness and sweetness just now."Concubine Yu, don't blame me. It is your sister Gu Yunxi who betrayed Your Highness and made us uneasy in this world. You are the most important person to Gu Yunxi. Killing you is equivalent to killing her. I don’t want to be the wife of that detestableEmperor and I will send that old man to the dwelling place of the dead to accompany you later. Hahah
At the dark night, the wheels rolled, rushing all the way to the west.Tu Muxue kept struggling constantly in the bumpy carriage. She was grabbed by An Hong and pressed firmly in the depths of the carriage.The girl was sweating profusely. Her face was sallow and she narrowed her sore eyes, trying to fix her eyes on Ming Lan's awl face in the blurred vision."Is that you? Ming Lan. Is that you?"Ming Lan sat there calmly, his thin body swaying slightly from side to side with the carriage."What's wrong? Were your eyes completely destroyed?He asked in a high voice with contempt and arrogance, raising one side of his eyebrows.Tu Muxue gritted her teeth bitterly and she looked so cold and resentful."D**n Eastern Depot! Leng Qingtang is so vicious!"Ming Lan sneered."Stop dreaming of being the concubine of Emperor. Emperor fainted on the spot at th
The woman dressed in phoenix robe and wearing the golden crown fell on her back from a high place to the blanket, making a heavy noise.Blood bubbles constantly streamed from her half-open mouth. Her eyes were wide open and her face was overcome with surprise and confusion.Time seemed to stand still..."Mother!"It was the heartbreaking call of the Fourth Princess that awakened everyone. And then bursts of screams broke out among concubines. Some concubines were so scared that they covered their faces and some fell directly from their chairs to hide under the table.Eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial doctors all surrounded Empress Qian, trying to save her."Mother... Mother!"Huanan Jiyan rushed to the side of Empress Qian, knelt down, and cried. Her two small hands shook the woman's half-dead body desperately."Mother, mother! Please wake up! Oh, come to save my mother..
On a paved path, Gu Yunxi was attracted by the fierce impact sound of the weaponry.Narrowing her eyes, Gu Yunxi found that the guard team of the Eastern Depot led by Ai Qing was fighting with two people.Both of them were in official suit of guards. One of them looked strange, while the other was Lu Qiange.On the periphery of the human wall, another person dressed as a guard was firmly pressed by people of the Eastern Depot, with his face pressed to the ground.Two eunuchs were Lu Qiange's subordinates Wuji and Dayan.Lu Qiange and they two had already prepared for the Spring Banquet this night to capture the Kunhuang Island map.Just before the start of the banquet, Wuji and Dayan wormed their ways into the Honour Guards who aimed at safeguarding according to their plan, waiting for the opportunity.In Baohe Palace, the Shenle Marquis competed with the Eastern Depot, and the differen
At the cold night, imperial doctors kept coming in and out of the side hall.The empress fell from the three-meter-high golden estrade and got her head injured. After rigorous diagnosis and a series of treatments such as acupuncture, although she was still alive, she was unconscious and could not turn sober.Just now, she vomited two more mouthfuls of blood.Sulian and two maids stood in front of the bed, crying silently.Huanan Jiyan, the Fourth Princess, knelt and sat on her feet. Her makeup was messed up by tears.She clasped Empress Qian’s hand tightly, crying and begging with sorrow."Mother, mother, please open your eyes to look at me... I will no longer make you angry. I will no longer speak loudly to you. I will study royal etiquette seriously... Mother, please wake up..."Smelling the scent of sweetgum mixed with sandalwood, Huanan Jiyan suddenly turned her head and saw Emperor
At sunrise, the masked man stood on the hillside with his hands crossed, looking at the sea of clouds on the horizon."Did Tu Muxue send any messages?"He raised his face and said slowly. The gloomy mysterious iron mask on his face was still shining with a cold light in the faint sunlight.A person behind him held fists on hips,"Your Highness, four hours have passed. How about letting me go to the Palace. Perhaps I'll bring back some reliable news. "The masked man sneered and shook his head,"We don't need to wait any longer. The plan remains the same. Order our people to gather in Guiping in groups."...In a grove of the northern suburb of the capital.After getting out of the Palace successfully last night, Lu Qiange and his two subordinates took Gu Yunxi all the way here.At the beginning of April, the forests were dense. The grass and trees
The sky was vast with many stars.Outside the Pingcheng Pass, a post-horse ran all the way along the loess road under the deep sky.Suddenly something stumbled on its front hoof, and there were neighing sounds in succession. Immediately both the man and horse were thrown off their feet.Four or five strong men jumped out of the grass. Without a word, they pressed the man to the ground with his arms crossed on his back."Let me go. Let me go. I'm just a common citizen..."The arrested man yelled loudly and looked up laboriously. Seeing that all the strong men were wearing the iconic crimson official uniform of the Eastern Depot, his face turned pale with fright. He wanted to escape the catastrophe by lying.The guard who led the team squatted, patted the man's face with his rough big hand and chuckled,"Hey, common people? How can a common citizen find a swift horse? "The g
The sun was at high noon. And the sunlight shone brightly in the sky.Gu Yunxi stood in the center of the square in front of the Golden Palace. She puckered her dry lips, raised her hand to her forehead, and looked at the cloudless blue sky.Straight ahead of her was the high and lofty Golden Palace. The bright sunlight shone straightly, and plated a stately and clear outline for it. The glazed tiles were like waving edges which constantly flashed dazzling light.She heard Wan Yuyao's crow blood crying, and saw figures moving inside and outside of the palace with her own eyes. The Honour Guards moved in and out, and dragged out Wan Li's dead body and syncopal Lord Shen one after another.Blood dripped down the pure white marble steps. Each drop of blood frightened many people.Gu Yunxi looked around quietly, and couldn't help wondering how many people's blood and bodies were buried under the resplendent and magn
