Chapter 98 Know
The world says that the world is impermanent. This Qifeng Hall, which usually enjoys full of honor and favor, is now as cold and isolated in a corner of the palace as its owner, even the cold palace is nothing more than that. The phoenix in the Qifeng Hall was not there, and the shackles made her feel like she was trapped in prison. Qifeng seemed to have become a lock phoenix since that night.
The huge palace was empty and scary. Cheng Shishi squeezed her eyebrows and slightly tightened the cloak on her body, but the steps under her feet did not decrease at all.
She looked around, brushed off the swaying hangings, and finally nailed her eyes to the queen sitting next to the dresser.
"Here you are." Chen Biyuan is dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, her hair is tied into a bun, and her phoenix head is shining.
She turned her back to the person behind her, and the mirror reflected not only her exquisite beauty, but also Cheng Shishi, who stared at her thoughtful face.
"Does the Queen know that Shishi is coming?"
"It's always coming." The woman in front of the mirror raised her lips slightly, as if she sighed, and her voice was ethereal as if it would be annihilated the next second.
Her heart sank, but a smile unfolded on her face. Cheng Shishi looked at the mother of a country who had already got up and turned around. She saw that her thin body under her wide phoenix robe was a little shaky, but she stubbornly straightened her body, and the obscurity in her eyes could not be covered by the powder.
Chen Biyuan smiled at Cheng Shishi. The perfect smile made her feel that it was not a human face, but a mask.
"Oh? Does the queen know why the poem came from? She didn't come close, just stood where she came and asked with a smile.
"Do you know what kind of flower it is?" She didn't answer the question, but her eyes turned to the bright blood red not far away, and her eyes were blurred.
Following Chen Biyuan's secluded eyes, Cheng Shishi frowned at the blood-like strange flower, and then looked back on her. She seemed to be looking at the flowers, but not like, as if she was looking at another completely different space through the flowers.
Chen Biyuan walked slowly to the side of the flower and slowly covered her hand.
"Manzhu Shahua, the flowers on the other side, the banks of the three rivers, life and death. The flowers bloom on the other side, the flowers fall into the yellow spring, the flowers are blooming without leaves, the leaves are green and the flowers are hidden, the two do not see each other, the life is wrong, the fire shines on the road, and the blood comes to the sky. The thoughts of the previous life, the disaster of the future, endless, eternal thoughts. You know, it's in full bloom tonight.
Cheng Shishi's eyes tightly grasped the woman in gorgeous clothes, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
The whole hall fell into silence again...
"Squeak---" The door was opened, and the man in a black cloak coughed slightly and walked out.
"The Empress has caught a cold. Go back and wait for the maidservant to make a bowl of ginger soup and have a rest."
The guard could not see the face of the person coming. At this time, her head was also covered under the cape with a hat. Just because she saw that the cloak was covered by Concubine Cheng before, and saw Xi'er so worried and asking, she also said respectfully, "The night is cool and dewful. It's better go back to rest earlier."
She nodded slightly, couldn't help coughing a few times, and left with the attendants.
The corridor they walked through slowly became silent...
"Xi'er, you all go down. I want to walk alone."
"Yes." He bent down to the master beside him and retreated with the crowd, leaving the figure in a cloak.
A gust of night wind blew and brushed off her hat. In the night, Chen Biyuan's face appeared! There was a dark color in her eyes, looked up in a certain direction, and left immediately.
Outside the gate, Qi Jingxun's first group of people rushed to fight with the soldiers guarding the gate. Although Qi Che put some precautions here, most of his troops were concentrated on the battlefield against Qi Jingxun. At present, Qi Jingxun attacked under the gate with his elite division, which was obviously beyond Qi Che's expectation.
When the soldiers guarding the city wall saw that it was not Qi Che, but Qi Jingxun was shocked. He quickly ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows to attack it. Unfortunately, the soldiers were in danger of losing it no matter how they looked at the city.
If Qi Jingxun just attacked the city so rudely, it would be okay. At least his charge was solid, but he was extremely cunning. He roared that Qi Che blamed him and led troops into the city to save his father. What's more, he shouted that the riot and thief was Qi Che.
His shouting is amazing. The battle is the most important, and the military heart is lax. This battle has lost the opportunity. The soldiers guarding the city heard Qi Jingxun's roar and were also chaotic for a while, and they were not in love with the war and retreated one after another. Qi Jingxun took advantage of the victory to chase and hit the gate. He couldn't hold it.
"Whew!" With a sound, it cut through the night sky.
Everyone was fighting, and the harsh sound only passed by. When everyone looked back, they stared at a sharp arrow nailed to Qi Jingxun's left chest. Everyone was shocked.
This arrow came very fast and unexpectedly. Qi Jingxun rode a horse to kill the enemy, but did not notice the dark arrow protruding from the dark. He spewed out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes looked at the person who came out of the darkness of the corner on the ten-foot wall with difficulty.
After finally seeing the archer, Qi Jingxun's body was like lightning strike, and his eyes were cracked. He looked at the woman with a crossbow in her hand in disbelief, dressed in palace clothes, with a phoenix head hairpin on his head, and was looking at him coldly. Such a strangeness, not his mother's concubine!
"Empress?!" Everyone exclaimed that their surprise was no less than that of the man who was hit by the arrow.
And Qi Che, who arrived later, was also shocked. Such an unexpected scene made him a little difficult to accept for a while. There is no movement when you stop there.
"Why?" Qi Jingxun said word by word, but his mouth full of blood was determined like breaking the embankment with the movement of opening his mouth. He clenched his heart and clenched his body and looked at the man above the wall with difficulty, his own mother.
"The prince intends to rebel, but as the crown prince, he is not right-hearted. He wants to kill the emperor, deceives the superiors and the subordinates, and secretly gathers troops to force the palace. As a mother, it is so difficult to absolve the blame for the son. Today, I will take down your rebellious son!"
"Boom!" The thunder lit up the faces of everyone present in an instant, and it was fleeting.
Or ferocious, or shocked, or resentful, or indifferent... immediately hide in the dark.
"Hahahaha..." Qi Jingxun looked up to the sky and roared uncontrollably. A long smile was full of sadness, full of hysterical madness. The corners of his eyes seemed to be shining with crystal, and finally did not fall.
Such a change made the situation suddenly have a shocking reversal. The side that was hoping for victory was only because of that arrow, and the words were instantly into endless hell and could never turn over.
A contest, and the final victory or defeat was divided. He won the army but lost the most important excuse. He lost the whole game.
It's just that he was unwilling. What led to his failure was his mother's concubine, not anyone, only her, only her! What can be more convincing than this in the world?
Good! OK, OK! Qi Jingxun, your good mother!
Qi Jingxun's eyes slowly moved through everyone. His soldiers, his enemies, familiar, strange, old, young... Faces flashed under his eyes one by one, and finally blurred like watching the lights.
Chen Biyuan skimmed the wall and finally nailed it to Qi Che's clear face. He smiled, and his eyes were sad and desolate, not resentful, just a vast and lifeless. He opened his mouth and said, but he did not make a sound. Then he spit blood at the mouth and collapsed from the horse. He couldn't close his eyes.
At this moment, the suffocation made everyone's power to make a sound disappear. There was no fight or sound, but quietly stared at the body that had always kept smiling at the corners of his mouth after falling to the ground.
Qi Che sat on the horse and did not move. Even the moment he saw Qi Jingxun's death, his eyes just flashed slightly. His eyes were deep and dark. Looking at the body on the ground, Qi Che's mind was still circling with his words just now.
He said, "Qi Che, I didn't lose to you or to heaven, but I didn't expect that I lost..." Before he finished speaking, he fell down. The words behind him were always stuck in his throat and fell into Yan Luo with him.
Qi Che's eyes turned and met the wall thoughtfully. She still stood proudly. The wind made her thinner. She only glanced here and retreated into the darkness, as if she had never appeared.
Qi Che was about to chase him, but a soldier guarding the city stopped him.
"Seven princes, here..." He has pointed out that he has looked at the group of soldiers without dragons, and now they have really become rebels.
Looking at the group of silver armored soldiers holding iron shields without the previous arrogance and murderous spirit, they looked at each other and didn't know if they should continue to fight. The coach is dead, and no matter what kind of competition it is, it doesn't seem to make sense.
"As long as you put down your weapons and surrender to this hall, this hall will ask the Holy Lord not to blame you. What do you think?"
The sound of each person's heartbeat can almost be heard quietly under the field. With a "bang", I don't know who took the lead. An iron shield fell to the ground. With a sound, it seemed to be like the Butterfly Valley effect. In an instant, there were many throwing sounds.
All the troops led by Qi Jingxun were surrendered.
"Here I give it to you. Then he carried the prince's body to the front battlefield to explain the situation. After saying that the prince died, he drove his horse into the city. He must rush there now.
He was stunned when he heard the words, and then bowed his hand, "No."
Looking up, I can't see it. I can only smell the sound of horseshoe trampling and fading away...
The palace of the State of Qi seems to be particularly sad and quiet tonight. The dark clouds in the night slowly pushed away a little, faintly leaking out a little moonlight.
Qi Che didn't have time to change his armor. He walked through the corridor and crossed the bridge. The high hanging lanterns precipitated light and shadow through the tulle, and the dim lights reflected the huge palace.
Qidi's bedroom.
"Changde, which son of me do you think is the most similar to me?"
On the dragon couch, Emperor Qi lay on it in a bright yellow silk underwear. What he said was a little difficult, but the corners of his mouth always raised, looking a little strange.
