Chapter 457 Gambling
The second prince threw the last talisman in his hand into the copper basin, quietly moved his numb legs, and raised his head to quietly glance at the coffin in front of him.
He glanced at the exhausted officials in the hall, glanced past the Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and chanting sutras, and turned his head to look outside the hall.
A cold wind blew from afar, and the second prince frowned.
A flash of uneasiness suddenly flashed through my heart.
It has been five days since the Duke of Qi secretly left the capital. Not only has no good news been sent back to him, but there has been no news for the past two days.
Thinking of the 100,000 soldiers and horses he led out, the second prince snorted coldly in his heart.
The great general of the Zhu Kingdom is nothing more than mediocre.
If it weren't for the sake of his mother and concubine, how could he allow him to put pressure on him.
One day, he will have all the military power in his own hands.
The second prince suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and looked away.
Under the palace lantern, four upright imperial guards stood quietly on both sides of the hall with swords in hand.
Thinking that the power in the capital was under control and all the officials were left in the palace, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could take this breath to the end, his right eyelid suddenly started beating violently.
…
Jingyang Palace.
In the cold cellar.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Xu Yuanyue, who was curled up on the ground, pressed her lower abdomen, which was like a beating drum, and slowly turned over and sat up while holding back her anger.
She had not eaten or drank for a whole day and night.
It was true that a tiger fell down and a dog bullied her, and now even a lowly maid dared to bully the master of her harem. If she had the chance to go out, she would definitely not let this **** go.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Xu Yuanyue raised her eyes and looked over, but was suddenly stunned.
“Princess Jiashan, why is it you?”
Before Ling Chu had time to speak, Xu Yuanyue's expression suddenly changed again, "So you and that **** An Meiying are in the same group? It's not enough for you to kill the prince, why don't you also kill me?"
Your Majesty is so blind that he didn’t realize that your Dingyuan Palace has been colluding with Xiao Nanmu for a long time..."
Ling Chu looked at the person in front of him indifferently, his hair was disheveled and he was haggard and embarrassed. It seems that no matter how noble his status is, he is no longer as dignified and luxurious as before after being imprisoned for such a long time.
Lingchu did not say any greetings, but directly interrupted the queen's sharp scolding, "I'm here to rescue you."
The queen paused, and the rest of her words were choked in her throat. Her expression changed again and again, "What did you say?"
Lingchu's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard the words she had just cursed angrily, and he repeated again, "I'm here to rescue you."
"Get me out? Are you and that **** An Meiying in the same group? Jingyang Palace is a cold palace. Not many people in the palace know about this place. How did you find it here?"
The queen looked at Ling Chu suspiciously, and suddenly got up from the ground with excitement on her face, "Is the emperor alive? He is back and asked you to save me, right?"
Ling Chu saw her reaching out to catch him. He first took a step aside and then said calmly, "I did it myself and it has nothing to do with the emperor."
The Queen was stunned, and the excitement on her face suddenly turned pale, "There is still no news from the Emperor?"
Ling Chu did not respond to her words. He only turned his head and said, "Let's go."
The queen did not move, not because she did not want to go out, but because she knew that the entire palace was already controlled by An Meiying and the second prince, and even if she went out, she would have no way to survive.
Ling Chu could see the queen's thoughts at a glance.
"How I found this place is not important. What is important is, do you want to avenge the prince?"
The queen suddenly turned her head and looked over, her red eyes filled with deep hatred.
This hatred is not directed at Ling Chu.
“No matter how you don’t think about it, I have dreamed of eating An Meiying’s mother and son alive. Not only did I kill my Zhao’er, but I also framed my father for treason and executed all 108 members of the Ministry of War’s Shangshufu.
Even if I cut their mother and son into pieces, it would not be enough to vent the hatred in my heart! ” ˆ ˆ “The empress wants to avenge the prince and the Minister of War, and now there is an excellent opportunity. "
There was a bright light in the queen's eyes, but her reason made her suspicious, "Why does the princess want to help me?"
The queen knew that although she was the master of the harem, she had no deep friendship with either Lingchu or the Dingyuan Palace.
Although the prince wanted to win over King Dingyuan during his lifetime, King Dingyuan was only loyal to the emperor and did not take sides.
The Jiashan Princess has no reason to help her.
Ling Chu smiled, she was indeed not familiar with the Queen. What's more, since the prince is dead, she will get no benefit at all from helping the queen. No wonder she is suspicious.
"What are you afraid of? You are locked up in Jingyang Palace, and no one outside knows about it. Concubine An Xian said to the women who came to cry, since the prince passed away, you have been sick in bed due to grief.
If I have harmful intentions for you, why should I come to Jingyang Palace? As long as I pretend that I don't know anything, it won't be long before word spreads in the palace that you can't bear the shock of the death of both the emperor and the prince, and you will die. "
Ling Chu glanced at the queen's pale face and continued, "As for why I want to help you, it's because I don't like Concubine An Xian, and I don't want the Chongzhao Dynasty to be ruined in the hands of the second prince.
After all, if the world is in chaos, my master will have to clean up the mess for the second prince.
But my master is old. As a disciple, I cannot bear to have him work too hard, so I can only think of ways to stabilize the court.
Do you think my princess’s reasons are enough? "
Enough, why is it not enough?
The Queen looked at Ling Chu deeply. In fact, she knew that she was willing to believe her even if there was no reason.
Without him, she wanted An Meiying, mother and son to die.
Even if there was only a 10% chance, she would still bet.
The prince died, her entire family was wiped out, and she was honored as the queen, but now she was imprisoned in the cellar of a cold palace that never saw the light of day.
Even if she loses the bet, she won't be worse off than she is now.
“What is the opportunity? What does the princess need from me?”
It seems that he has not lost his mind by the death of the prince.
“Time is tight, let’s go out first and talk as we walk.” Ling Chu took out an invisibility charm and put it on the queen’s body.
The queen didn't know what kind of talisman she had posted, and she subconsciously wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the talisman on his body. He saw that Ling Chu had turned around and walked out, so he hurriedly followed him.
Along the way, the queen was surprised when she saw some palace maids and guards turning a blind eye to them. She probably guessed that the talisman on her body had an invisibility effect.
Lingchu took the Queen to a remote palace where there was no one, and then took off the invisibility charm on her body.
Soon a **** came out and said, "Princess."
This man is not a real eunuch. He is Ning Chuyi's subordinate and a royal guard.
“Have everyone brought them?”
The Jin Yiwei pointed to the dark place on the right, "Don't worry, Princess, I've brought them all."
Lingchu looked over and saw three nuns and two palace maids rushing over with excitement on their faces, "Your Majesty."
The queen's face trembled. She didn't expect that Ling Chu would even rescue the people waiting around her.
Just as she was about to say thank you, Ling Chu shook his head and stopped her, "Time is tight, let's do something first."
The queen took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, bowed deeply to Ling Chu, turned around and headed straight to Concubine An's chamber with the maids and maids.
