Green tea sick beauty after whitening

Chapter 99

To have made such a low-level mistake, the little maid was so frightened that her face paled, and she quickly knelt down on the ground: "Damn this slave, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Qi Hui was a little impatient: "Pick up the booklet, go down, you won't be used to serve tea in the future."

The little maid timidly responded, lowering her head to get the booklet at Qi Hui's feet.

But at this moment, a cold light flashed in her sleeve, and she jumped up suddenly, making a quick and ruthless move, with the blade moving from bottom to top, stabbing toward Qi Hui's lower abdomen.

This happened suddenly, and there was a book case as a cover, Qi Hui was caught off guard, raised his hand to block, and the sharp blade passed through his palm and pierced into his lower abdomen.

At the same time, when the windows on both sides were pushed, three or four maids jumped in swiftly and attacked Qi Hui at the same time, threatening to kill him on the spot.

Such a surprise kill, Qi Hui actually took precautions in advance.

It seemed that there was no one around him to serve him, but at this moment, several guards rushed out from behind the screen of the main hall, and the two sides fought into a ball.

Someone rushed over in a hurry, helped Qi Hui up, and said loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how is your injury?!"

Qi Hui's face was painful, and he pressed his lower abdomen tightly, the knife was still inserted, there was blood between his fingers, and he said out of breath: "Keep, keep alive, let the lonely interrogator find out who they are... ...who instigated..."

The voice actually sounded like he was dying, and the situation was very bad.

While he was speaking, the assassin was about to be subdued, and his subordinates quickly agreed, and urgently carried Qi Hui to the inner room, and asked the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.

When there were only a few confidantes left around, Qi Hui let go of his hands covering his lower abdomen, and sat up expressionlessly.

I saw that although his clothes had been dyed red, there was no blood flowing from the wound, but blood was dripping from his hands.

Li Ji, the guard of the East Palace, just arrived, and he was frightened to death, but he was surprised and happy when he saw this: "Your Highness, you...?"

Qi Hui said: "The moment the dagger stabbed, I caught it with my fingers, and what I suffered was nothing more than a skin trauma."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. Fortunately, Qi Hui was good at martial arts, and he was usually a cautious person. No one would believe him. Otherwise, if something happened to him, everyone might as well die together.

Although he escaped, Qi Hui's expression was not good, and he said, "It's impossible for someone to assassinate Gu at such a time for no reason. Maybe something happened in Pingzhou. Li Ji, arrange people to hurry up." Go to inquire about the situation, and at the same time spread the news that Gu is seriously injured and unconscious."

Li Ji replied "Yes", he hurriedly went out to deliver the order, and after the arrangement was completed, he came back and reported: "Your Highness, those assassins just now had poisonous sacs in their teeth, three of them committed suicide, two of them were stopped, and they are currently being interrogated."

Qi Hui said "hmm", raised his hand to let the imperial doctor bandage his wound, and was silent in thought.

Ever since he was assassinated just now, he had a faint feeling of weirdness in his heart, but he couldn't tell exactly what happened.

Although he asked Li Ji to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, he also knew that the person who was most likely to attack him was definitely the same.

He finally couldn't hold back anymore, it must be because he was fully prepared.

How does he want to explain to his father?Can the power in his hands, which has been suppressed for a while, still support him in doing so?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qi Hui's mind, and he thought of a question.

With the speed and angle at that time, the court lady who assassinated him just now could have pierced his chest with a dagger, but why did the blade point towards the lower abdomen?

In this way, even if it is really stabbed, the person will not be killed immediately, and there may be room for resistance and rescue.

Wouldn't it be superfluous for one person to assassinate but not kill thoroughly, and then four people to besiege?

What is the other party's purpose?Or it seems that this matter is planned by Zhan, but in fact, there are other people hidden behind him?

In the dark, it seems that there is an invisible hand stretching out from nothingness, disturbing the situation.

Qi Zhan asked: "Which two people are left alive?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, one is the woman who was the first to assassinate, and the other is a court lady who used the bone shrinking technique to disguise herself as a woman."

Qi Hui said: "Give Gu a careful interrogation, whether they knew each other before, and whether they were accomplices!"

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said, "Change the woman from the beginning to a better cell alone, and don't use torture."

When Qi Hui said this, he vaguely felt that the assassination of this woman was a warning, but on the other hand, he felt that no one would be crazy enough to stab himself as a warning, so he was a little bit hesitant.

Others didn't understand Qi Hui's thoughts, and felt strange—if an assassin who assassinated the prince did not use torture, how could he find out the result?

After coming out, someone pulled Li Ji and whispered: "Lord Li, do you think His Royal Highness won't fall in love with the female assassin who assassinated him? You need to persuade him a lot. In this case, His Highness shouldn't be merciful." .”

In particular, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always kept himself clean and aloof. He has never seen him interested in any woman. Such a person will get out of control when he becomes emotional. If he wants to keep this assassin, it is not a good thing.

Li Ji looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said, "What kind of scripts has Mr. Wang read recently?"

"Uh... "Amorous Son of Heaven and Pretty Woman"."

Li Ji said: "...you can watch other genres when you have time. For example, the drama about foreign envoys and ministers of the Central Plains in Yiqinglou last time was good. I recommend it to Mr. Wang."

"Isn't that about broken sleeves? Is it really that pretty?"

Li Ji turned and left.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been involved in it for a long time in his life, so how could he still be soft-hearted towards other people.

Since these assassins were determined to die, they naturally had a hard mouth. In the end, they only learned that the two of them were from Pingzhou through clichés.

But soon the confessions of these assassins no longer mattered.

Because the people Qi Hui placed in Pingzhou sent back news that Emperor Longyu had a sudden illness, and no one saw him again. At present, all the officials have been controlled by Qi Zhan.

It is self-evident who is behind the scenes, but the most important thing is the life and death of Emperor Longyu.

When Qi Hui heard the news, he realized that the emperor might have been killed.

Because as long as he is still breathing, Qi Zhan only needs to lift the controlled emperor out to the ministers to see, which can play a great stabilizing role.

But judging from his current move to put the officials under house arrest, it is already a bad strategy, probably because he no longer has the bargaining chip of Emperor Longyu in his hands.

Why take such extreme measures?should not.

Qi Hui was dazed for a long time.

After living a new life, life and death have become much less important, and the relationship between him and Emperor Longyu, the father and son, has never been weak.

But at the moment of realizing that the other party is dead, it is inevitable to feel sad.

Currently Qi Hui is still "seriously ill". There are two secret passages behind the screen in his bedroom. One is for him to communicate with the outside world, and the other is only Qi Hui himself knows how to open, which is the exit for escape at critical moments. .

After roughly hearing what happened in Pingzhou, Qi Hui said: "You all go out, don't panic, and act according to plan. I just need to rest for a while."

Everyone knew that he must be in a bad mood, so they all withdrew without disturbing him.

Qi Hui didn't want to think about anything, and fell asleep lying on the bed, but in his dreams, he always saw the figure of Emperor Longyu walking towards him. Whenever he approached, the other party suddenly bled from his orifices and his figure disappeared.

Qi Hui woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed. The entire hall was empty, the surroundings were pitch black, and the moonlight was dim outside the window.

And there was a faint "cracking" sound coming from a corner near him.

——There is someone in that secret passage!

Qi Hui immediately reacted, his eyes froze, and he held the saber by the pillow with one hand, and at the same time wanted to call someone.

However, in the darkness, that person stood in front of him silently for an instant, like a ghost in the middle of the night.

In a blink of an eye, one hand grasped Qi Hui's wrist, which was about to draw his sword, while the other hand raised a finger, vainly covering his lips, and said softly, "Hush."

Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Qi Hui immediately recognized the person in front of him with this grip and word - it was Qu Changnegative.

He suddenly relaxed.

It's not because he thinks that Qu Changling won't harm him, but if the person who did it to him is Qu Changling, then Qi Hui's choice is to lie down and admit it.

"How did you come?"

Qi Hui whispered: "Let me go, be careful not to be drawn by the sword."

Qu Chang gave a negative laugh and let go of his hand. Qi Hui put the sword back into its sheath, put it aside, and lit the glazed lamp beside the bed.

It is said that looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp is true, and the soft halo illuminates Qu Changying's face, which is picturesque and charming.

No wonder he can come in, it has been like this since the last life, all Qi Hui's hole cards, Qu Chang negative knows all of them.

Qu Changlu looked Qi Hui up and down, and said, "Sure enough, after hearing the news that you were seriously injured and unconscious, I knew that you must be fine. If you were really seriously injured and unconscious, I am afraid that outsiders will not know."

Qi Hui smiled and said, "If everyone is as smart and understands me as you are, I'm afraid I'd be dead [-] times."

When he stopped focusing on the horns and seeing Qu Changcheng complained and entangled, Qi Hui found that the conversation between the two became more comfortable and relaxed.

It was inconvenient to ask someone to wait on him at this time, so he moved a chair over himself, let Qu Changlu sit down, poured hot tea and handed it to him: "Did you come from Huiyang? You have been traveling all the way, and you are tired."

Qu Chang negative said: "Things have changed, and there is no delay. When Qi Zhan proposed to move the capital, I felt that something was wrong, but I suppressed him many times a few days ago, and I thought that even if Qi Zhan wanted to turn around, he would not be so fast. Still I really didn't expect that he would drive everyone to a dead end as soon as he made a move."

He came up to talk about business, and suddenly touched Qi Hui's sadness: "Father has always loved Qi Zhan, and he can really go down and kill his father."

Speaking of which, both of them have just lost their fathers, so they can be regarded as sympathetic to each other.

Qu Chang said: "Don't you think it's weird? No matter from which angle you think about it, it is more beneficial to control the emperor than to kill him. I think there are others behind Qi Zhan to stir up the muddy water."

Qi Hui remembered the two assassins he had captured before, and told Qu Changnegative how he was assassinated.

Qu Chang negatively pondered: "Do you think the first female assassin came to remind you? What did she remind you, by stabbing you to remind you that someone will come to assassinate next?"

Qi Hui: "...I don't quite understand that either."

Qu Changlu thought for a while and said, "Does Your Highness still remember the specific moves that the assassin used to assassinate you at that time? Can you demonstrate it to me?"

Qi Hui nodded, picked up a folding fan from the side as a dagger, and gave Qu Chang a negative gesture to draw the scene at that time.

It's just that he has a psychological shadow on the matter of "attacking Qu Chang negative". Even the gestures are awkward, and his movements seem a little timid, for fear of accidentally touching the opponent.

Qu Chang held the other end of the folding fan in Qi Hui's hand with a snap of his fingers, and easily snatched it off, and asked, "The assassin beat you so carefully?"

Qi Hui said: "...Just take it as it is, that's not important. The moves must be right."

He has a vengeful personality and a good memory, and he can usually remember the attacks he receives very carefully. Others don't understand this, but Qu Changlu certainly knows it very well.

Qu Chang negative twirled the fan in his hand, unfolded it with a swipe, and said, "If the move is correct, this is the assassination technique commonly used by Liang Guo assassins."

Qi Hui said: "Liang Guo?"

Qu Chang negative nodded slightly: "I think this woman really wants to remind you, but the content of the reminder is not that there will be assassinations in the future, but that Qi Zhan is cooperating with Liang Guo's forces."

So now they have the answer to the question they are wondering, why Qi Zhan's acting style suddenly became so bold and reckless, and even directly killed Emperor Longyu, because he already had a new hole card.

As for the other point, it should be regarded as good news. At present, Qi Zhan's side may even be in a very important position. Unidentified people are silently helping them.

But this person has not revealed any clues so far, which shows the depth of his scheming and deep thoughts.

Qu Chang said: "It's hard to think about who is so helpful. But when it comes to Liang Guo, I have a little impression of a person."

Qi Hui said: "The proton Li Chang sent by Liang Guo?"

Qu Chang said: "Not bad."

He got up and took a few steps, and said: "It is because the Kingdom of Ying stood between the Kingdom of Liang and the Western Qiang and became a natural barrier, which allowed them to stay in a corner and not be disturbed by the war. In this case, the Kingdom of Liang and the Xiqiang It is unlikely that Ying State will be an enemy, and I tend to let Li Shang make his own decisions on this matter."

Qi Hui pondered: "What is he for? In order to get rid of the identity of the proton and return to Liang Guo to seize the throne?"

Qu Chang negatively sneered: "It's very possible. Li Shang helps Qi Zhan get rid of the emperor and the prince, and Qi Zhan supports him to return to China to become the crown prince. Isn't this a fair deal?"

It wasn't long after he came here, and after some analysis, he had already seen the whole thing very thoroughly.

After finishing speaking, Qi Hui remained silent for a long while.

Qu Chang took a look back and saw that the other party was looking at him, dazed.

He said: "What?"

Qi Hui withdrew his gaze and said, "It's nothing, I suddenly feel like I haven't seen you for a long time...I miss you a lot."

He actually felt that he had a lot to say, but after much deliberation, that was all he could say.

In the previous life, Qu Changling died in front of him. He was in pain and had constant nightmares. He had thought countless times in the paralysis of drunkenness and dreaming that if Qu Changling could appear in front of him again, he would pay all the price.

But when he saw Qu Changshou again, he couldn't control the desire, jealousy and greed in his heart. The two could never go back to the past, but he stopped, desperately trying to hold on, and finally let everyone All the love is gone in the fingers.

Probably the only thing to be thankful for in this life is that he did not make the same mistakes again and again, and did not do anything to hurt Qu Changshou.

At the critical moment, I learned to open my palms, leaving my palms empty, as well as the residual warmth that can survive after all.

And the scene of the conversation at this moment is like a dream, and it is also a distance that will always be close and distant.

Resentment is not big or small, it is born from what you love; there is no beauty or evil in things, and excesses are disasters.Only love is deep and lifeless, and there is nowhere to cut a little infatuation.

There seemed to be something stuck in his throat, and he always felt tight in his chest.

Qi Hui said: "Then what are you going to do when you come back this time? I have already inquired about the Song family's news, and they are all right now, don't worry."

"Thank you."

Qu Chang said: "A lot of things are unclear at the moment, and I don't have a very specific plan in mind. I rushed back from Huiyang and wanted to go directly to Pingzhou, but to be on the safe side, I'd like to check on His Highness's situation first. It’s also my fault that I came.”

Qi Hui said: "So you still have to go to Pingzhou now?"

Qu Chang said: "Yes. I plan to hide my identity first, and find a way to understand the cooperation between Li Shang and Qi Zhan. If these two people can be defeated one by one, that is the best result. At the same time, please find a way, Your Highness. Find out how much Liang Guo knows about this matter and how much he participated in."

Qi Hui said: "Left and right, I am also seriously injured and comatose now, and I don't see any outsiders. I will go with you."

Qu Chang negatively said calmly: "If you also go to Pingzhou and raise troops together, King Jing will be the only one in the world who can legitimately denounce him as a traitor. But King Jing is far away from the frontier to fight against Xiqiang."

Every time Qi Hui wanted to be capricious or emotional, he could pour a basin of ice water down to calm him down.

Sometimes Qi Hui couldn't help but wonder how a reckless person like Jing Qianjiang got along with Qu Changcheng.

One is calm and self-sustaining to the extreme, and the other is freewheeling to the extreme.

"Okay, I understand. I will stay in the capital to stabilize the situation and cooperate with you at any time, but you must also be more careful."

Qi Hui finally compromised and said: "After all, the basic foundation for me to cooperate with King Jing and General Xie lies in you, and even the relationship between Ying State and Nan Rong... If you have any accidents, I am afraid everyone will have to be together." Take two shots."

It was the same in the previous life.

Qu Changlu was a little surprised and said: "Is that so? Then I am really important. Thank you for your love."

Qi Hui couldn't help laughing.

He looked out of the window, the night was getting quieter at this time, and it must be early tomorrow morning when Qu Changlu was going to leave, so he said, "You've been running all the way, it's time to rest. There's only one night left and right, there's no need to go back and forth, I'll call someone Let’s make the bed, you can rest here and be more secure.”

He came out of his bedroom, but did not go to the study, but stood quietly outside for a while in the dark.

Today, I get along very well with Qu Changcheng, but Qi Hui knows in his heart that this kind of harmony is because the entanglement between them is getting less and less.

And after the relationship between the two of them that was unilaterally and forcibly bound by him gradually disintegrated, the future intersection will eventually disappear with the peace of the world.

Such a night, such a moonlight, can no longer replace a new start.

Maybe when he was very old and very old, when he was asked about it, he would suddenly tell the teenagers at that time.

I once had a sweetheart who I loved very much, and I kept him like a jewel in my heart in this life, and never let go of it.

Such stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew will stand at midnight.

Unknowingly, he stood there all night until Dongfang turned pale, and it was time for Qu Changlu to leave.

The cooperation between Li Chang and Qi Zhanhe seems very difficult in the eyes of Qu Chang and Qi Hui and others, but in fact, for Pingzhou, the situation in Beijing and China is also smeared.

In contrast, those who want to rebel are naturally more anxious.

"What the hell is Qi Hui playing!"

Qi Zhan threw out a booklet angrily, and angrily scolded: "After so many days, all the information is just the sentence 'The prince is seriously injured and unconscious'! Is he dead or just pretending to be sick? You trash, even You can’t even find out about this!”

Now there are two possibilities, the best and the worst. Either Qi Hui has died of serious injuries and his subordinates deliberately concealed it for fear of causing turmoil, or Qi Hui has nothing serious at all and is planning other things conspiracy.

But no matter which one, there should always be a result before they can proceed to the next step.

The thing about rebellion is to act vigorously without delay, otherwise, when Jing Qianjiang and Xie Jiuquan drive Xiqiang back, everything will be over.

A good assassination, with such an unclear ending, turned out to be the enemy in the dark and they in the light, how can it not make people anxious?

Qi Zhan said this to Li Chang, and Su Xuan was also present, sitting far away with his hands in his sleeves, holding a teacup and blowing slowly, lowering his head slightly to cover the sneer on his lips.

It seems that Qi Hui has already understood his hint-although he hated the other party deeply in the last life, and the first thing after rebirth is to wish to kill him quickly, but at present, he can only cooperate temporarily.

At any rate, when he was reminded, Qi Hui was also stabbed by the "assassin", which was a little bit of resentment in his heart.
