Chapter 65 Conspiracy

That night, the empress and her party rested in an inn not far from the town.

Even if he is away, the emperor can still sing and sing every night. The one who is sleeping tonight is Zhu Yuexuan, the most favored lady of Baihe in recent years. She has now been named Baolin, but the title of Baihe has been retained until now.

The emperor always didn't sleep well when he was out of the palace, so he didn't like to sleep with others. Before he was born, Zhu Yuexuan put on his outer robe under the service of his personal maid Qing'er, and bowed to leave the emperor's bedroom.

According to the official palace rules, if a low-ranking concubine goes to the emperor's bedroom to attend the bedchamber, she has to go to the empress's place to perform the rules after returning to the palace. It's just that when in the palace, the emperor usually goes to the palaces of the concubines, and rarely stays in the palace. Heart Palace or Taiji Palace, this palace rule is useless.

Zhu Yuexuan and Zhu Chun, the eminent concubine of Shangyang Palace, are called sisters in name, but in fact they are master and servant. Although the Zhu family is now down and down, in Zhu Chun's eyes, her elder brother is still in the hands of the Zhu family. , naturally have to respectfully regard oneself as the master.

But in fact, Zhu Yuexuan has become a trick played by Zhou and Qi next to Concubine Jia. If she wants to act secretly, she has to pretend to be Concubine Jia's loyal servant.

Concubine Jia has the habit of reading at night, the candles in the room were still on, Zhu Yuexuan walked outside the room, and called softly: "Concubine Jia, please be well."

The summer evening breeze scorched the skin and hair, the candlelight in the room was flickering, and there seemed to be a tall figure floating at the end of the paper window, Zhu Yuexuan was startled, before she could think about it, the figure was approaching, and the door creaked He was pushed away with a sound.

It is Lianqiu, the eldest lady of the concubine Jia.

She seemed to have woken up from a dream, her temples were slightly disheveled, and she saluted impatiently: "Baihe Baolin'an, it's a tiring journey today, and the empress has already fallen asleep."

The night corridor is just terrifying.

Zhu Yuexuan breathed a sigh of relief, she slandered Lianqiu's arrogant attitude in her heart, said a few auspicious words perfunctorily, turned around and left with a smirk.

Lian Qiu closed the door behind her, and lightly blew out the candle.

The room was pitch black, and with the dim moonlight, one could faintly see someone by the window.

The concubine Jia leaned against the window and smiled lowly: "Miss Baihe has been sent away, so, can His Royal Highness King Zhenbei trust my sincerity?"

Chu Huaizhang was wearing night clothes, hugging her behind him: "My king's knife rests on your mother's neck, of course you dare not move rashly."

"His Royal Highness King Zhenbei's words are wrong."

The concubine Jia sighed deeply.

"All your wives, concubines and children were killed, and you escaped by disguise. You survived, but you were hunted down and hunted down for the rest of your life. All your glory and wealth are gone. Instead of lingering, it is better to die for revenge. So I am full of hatred. Yi, who has gone through all kinds of hardships, came here with the intention of assassinating His Majesty."

"But Your Highness forgot, that is your imperial brother. You should know that no matter how proud he is, he will never forget his fear of death. There are so many guards around him, even if you want to die together, there is no way. So you After tossing and turning for a few days, I decided to settle for the next best thing, killing a prince and princess to vent my anger, after all, it’s not a loss.”

"However, the two little highnesses are also protected very well. You have to retreat again and again. You want to kill the unfavorable crown prince and concubine of this palace, so that there will be a gap between the emperor and the prince, and you can cause some trouble for the emperor. good."

The concubine Jia shook her head and smiled: "But why such a detour? It's better to let me help you. If you can't kill the emperor, it's good to kill a serious prince. If you go down with a knife, it will solve your heartache better than killing me, a concubine who has been detested for a long time. hatred."

Chu Huaizhang said coldly: "Don't treat me as a fool. If you act according to your mother's words, you can not only save your own life, but also get rid of the only direct prince who is a threat to the prince's status. good."

Concubine Jia raised her hand to caress the sharp knife between her neck, the dagger sharpened the moonlight, piercing a cold white streak on her cheek.

"You and I are both good, isn't it just a thousand good things?"

Thick clouds shrouded the moonlight, and in the middle of the night, Concubine Jia was still standing by the window, turning her head to look at the hazy mountain shadow in the distance.

It wasn't until Lian Qiu came over to put on her robe that she slowly said: "Whether this move is successful or not, we are both inseparable."

Lian Qiu looked at her blankly: "Your Majesty?"

"With Zhu Xuanyue and those alchemists who are refining medicine, the emperor will not live for a few years, but the elixir is too slow to take effect. If the king of Chu grows up and the emperor is still alive, there will be another change in my son's succession. I don't know. How many years to suffer."

"The king of Chu must die, even if it is my life. I am only worried about you. I am afraid that you will not want to die together. Lianqiu...don't blame me."

The clouds opened and the moon was bright, and the moonlight shone through the window, casting a layer of sparkling light on the blood color.

Someone dragged something under the bed.

The concubine Jia was born in a family, and she grew up pampered and pampered. For the first time, she picked up a rag and carefully wiped off the stains on the wooden floor.

This place is really hard to wipe.she thinks.

In the early morning of the next day, the royal driver set off together with the singing of birds in the early morning, and traveled all the way until the afternoon, when the emperor ordered people to find a place with good mountains and rivers.

The emperor always likes to bring someone with a high level of education when he wants to enjoy the scenery. When he was away from home, Qi Yu took up this position. It will make the emperor happy.

When Zhou Shuhe was not around, he felt a little bored. When he was bored, he wanted to play with the children. When he asked someone, it turned out that Sui Sui also went to the mountains to play.

This child rarely gets close to people outside of Kunren Palace in the palace. Now that he is out of the palace, he often plays with his sister. A few eunuchs and maids followed to prevent him from running around.

There was really nothing to do, so she and Jiyue rode to the forest not far away, and while driving to enjoy the cool, they took a bag of sour plum candies brought from the palace, and crunched and ate them.

The two talked and laughed indulgently, until Zhu Xuanyue suddenly found her.

This Lady Baihe joined Zhou Shuhe's command three years ago, but she is a concubine after all on the bright side, and there are many people outside the palace who are distracted. If it is not necessary, she should not come to her.

So there must be something out of the ordinary.

Seeing Zhu Xuanyue's solemn expression, Zhou Shuhe's heart sank slightly.

"what's up?"

"Last night, my concubine went to the concubine's house to practice the rules, and vaguely saw a tall figure. I thought it was Lianqiu, a maid from Shangyang Palace, but it was deformed by the candlelight. Don't worry, after leaving the inn, I will send the palace guards behind the back of my concubine Jia to check it out."

Zhou Shuhe frowned: "Let's get to the point."

Zhu Xuanyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The palace servants came to report that a woman's body was found under the bed in the room where the concubine Jia lived. It was Lianqiu."

Zhou Shuhe only felt a chill all over.

Lianqiu is dead, so who is it that she saw Lianqiu following behind Concubine Jia today?

No, it doesn't matter who it is, since it is the outsider who is willing to commit the crime of massacring the court ladies, she will only target Sui Sui.

"Send the moon!" she shouted loudly.

"The servant is here."

"You hurried back to the camp and said that His Highness King Chu is in danger. I'm going to find someone and ask them to send the forbidden army to search the mountain."

Jiyue was full of astonishment: "Then you..."

"I'll go find Suisui."

Zhou Shuhe got on his horse, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly bent down and looked at Jiyue, his pupils were as black as a bottomless abyss: "Do you remember the story about Shi Ya we heard when we were young? Don't forget to beware of Shi Ya for me. "

The horse galloped away, kicking up a cloud of dust.Jiyue didn't know what happened, but instinctively listened to Zhou Shuhe's words, and soon rode to the camp.

"..."

Zhu Xuanyue ran two steps behind and shouted: "Your Majesty! Send the moon! Anyone can take me with you! I don't have a horse. I just fell off a dog eating mud when I climbed the mountain. My knee hurts and I can't get off. Mountain! For cooperating with me to make such a great achievement, just reward me with a mouthful of ashes, right, anyone!"
