"I told you not to be so anxious, but you still hit the tip of the knife!"
The empress Dongfang looked at the superficial bruises on her body painfully. She was only glad that Duan Chengxuan had a lot of temper in recent years. She didn't really put her to death. Even this face didn't hurt. The heaviest thing was that her back broke the door, and it scratched a large area of skin. It was hot and painful.
Dongfang xuan'er was crying with rain and pear blossom. She grew up in the boudoir. She knew that King Jing was a tyrant. But at this time, she was smashed out of her clothes. The whole harem knew about it. She just wanted to bury her head in the ground.
The queen also has a headache: "if it's not your sister, she is quite different from Gu Mingyan and Su Yuwan, but she has a calm nature..."
"Aunt, Xuaner will certainly do well." As soon as Dongfang xuan'er heard her sister's words, she raised her head abruptly and looked at the queen with tearful eyes: "it's all Xuaner's anxiety this time."
At that time, the queen did not know what to say. She ordered the imperial doctor and the palace maids to take care of their babies, so she sent Xuaner back to bed early. As soon as she took off the golden step on her head, she heard a voice: "the emperor is here."
The Queen's face was white, so she had to take Jin Buyao back with her, and hurriedly bowed to the emperor who came in: "I see the emperor."
"I heard that Xuaner was just kicked out." Duan Cong raised his hand slightly, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Xuaner is really in a hurry. Please forgive her life." At this time, the empress did not dare to get up at all, but buried her head low, twisted her fingertips and closed her mouth.
Duan Cong picked a eyebrow and said, "do you know how ambitious the Dongfang family is? Instigate my prince to cause civil strife and help several princes in secret. All these actions are to pave the way for your 14th prince. If you still think that the 14th Prince is your own son, you should not protect your mother's family. "
Duan Cong's voice is not loud, and his eyes are even more turbid, which makes people unable to see Duan Cong's idea.
"I know." The queen clenched her lower lip: "my concubines have told them that his Highness Prince Jing is more likely to be king, and uncle will surely try to win him over."
"I heard that there are many young and strong children on Dongfang's side?" Duan Cong raised the corners of his mouth and pointed to his belly as he stroked the cup. He said in a low voice: "if you let them have the military power, you will not be able to live alone in the future, will you?"
The Queen's face was pale at this time, so she knelt down quickly, took a deep breath, and said respectfully: "I have done many wrong things in my mother's family. If they really have this heart, they will not die in vain."
"Dongfang is lonely. You are not a stable queen. Do you really want to be?"
"I don't want to be a concubine any more. I just want the emperor to be kind to the fourteenth prince in the future!" Empress Dongfang almost cried and kowtowed three times. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not love the emperor any more.
Duan Cong didn't press on any more, but sneered coldly: "women are more troubled than water, without the guidance of you women, my children are very ambitious one by one, but it's a pity that yu'er, a good young man, was hard taught to be bad by the virtuous princess."
Dongfang was silent, but his heart was cold.
For Duan Cong, the real prince should be so disgusted with his relatives and friends, so he should spare no effort to climb up for the sake of the throne and the power in the future, regardless of the means.
Duan Cong got up and wanted to leave. Duke Huang rushed in: "emperor, something happened!"
"What's the matter?"
"Gu Mingyan Gu Mingyan falls down the cliff with others. I'm afraid that... " Mr. Huang's face was full of fear, and he was followed by a dark guard in black. The man came forward and respectfully handed a roll of paper to the emperor without making a sound.
These are all the dark guards around the emperor. Their tongues have been burned. They are the most trustworthy part of the dark guards.
There are some muddy marks on the paper, and the details are explained in detail. It seems that Gu Mingyan jumped into the forest with Su Yuwan, then tumbled down from the cliff beside the mountain, under which is a deep forest. They have been looking for fruitless for several days, and found two bodies with blood and flesh in the haunt of wolves.
"Don't tell me about it, and continue to ask sonin to send people to pursue it." Duan Cong handed in the paper to dark Wei's hand and looked back at the Queen: "do you understand what I ordered?"
"I understand." The queen nodded quickly and watched Duan Cong leave.
Leaving the Queen's bedroom, Duan Cong was not sure about it.
Gu Mingyan survived several times, and even could be used in the enemy camp, so as to climb a high position. Could a cliff really kill her? Or is it really this accident that can kill her?
But anyway, Gu Mingyan's death is a good thing for Duan Chengxuan.
But this whole night, Duan Chengxuan was sleepless all night, and his unknown premonition had already spread to his heart. He could only hear a few birds outside the window.
Is it safe for her to pass by without company?
……
The moon is bright and the stars are thin. The silvery moonlight is covered by the thick branches and leaves on the top of her head. In the darkness where she can't see her fingers, Gu Mingyan has been hiding in the gap between the faults. She covers Su Yuwan's mouth with one hand. Until the last fire disappears completely, she breathes out a sigh of relief in these days.
Thanks to the local chronicles of Miss Mo San's family, she knew that there was a gully in the nearby mountains. The long slope was very steep, and there were many thick trees scattered on it. Even people with high lightness skills could hardly stand in the forest on this steep slope, so they could barely come down to search by claws and ropes.
Gu Mingyan and others have been hiding in the fault, but half of them are tall.
"How do you know there's a fault here?" Mo San, who was supposed to help, is now standing outside the fault. Thanks to her coming and sending some food and asking some hunters to go up the mountain for some trouble, they won't be killed here.
"Coincidentally, I wanted to walk directly down the river, but I couldn't let them find out that there were three of us when you appeared so badly." Gu Mingyan patted his chest, wiped the sticky mud on his face, and said: "if we don't find this fault, we should fall in the vine below."
Gu Mingyan poked his head and looked down at the place full of vines.
"There are a lot of poisonous herbs in the vine. There are wild animals wandering in the night. It's basically a dead end to go there." Mo San swallows a mouthful of saliva. Even people with high martial arts like her dare not go there.
"I'm not afraid of poison." Gu Mingyan pointed to the mark on his neck, and said: "as long as I am awake, I will never let you die. After those officers and soldiers leave, I will go down first. If the local chronicles are right, there is a river near the vine, and I will walk about ten miles along, there will be a small fishing village. The silver on my body is enough to buy a boat."
Mo San frowned at her: "it's too risky. If you don't come up, my brother will kill me."
"Thanks to you this time, I won't let you be beaten by my brother." Gu Mingyan chuckled, quietly waiting for the dark, and his heart sank.
In fact, if it wasn't for Mo San's sudden help, she might actually roll down with Su Yuwan.
Although they didn't see Mo San very much, once someone saw Mo San's appearance, they immediately contacted Mo Yi. Duan Chengxuan and his mother, who were in Tianyan City, were really cut off.
