  Chapter 647 Assassination

  Li Beibei said: "Since the queen is General Chen's weakness, it's easy to handle. As long as we catch the queen's fault, we can just use it to intimidate him."

Xuanyuan Junyi shook his head: "Peiqing has been a cautious person since she was a child, and she behaves just right in the world. Even if it's like this time, she will never have any excuses in the hands of outsiders. If she wants to use her It's not easy for the queen to pinpoint General Chen."

  Li Beibei said: "I can come out and identify the queen."

   Xuanyuan Junyi looked at Li Beibei firmly: "You come to identify?"

  Li Beibei nodded: "My identity is a saint, and I am the only one whose reputation among the people can resist the reputation of the queen."

  Li Beibei has always said that she is positioned as Donghua's mascot.

   But undeniable.

  The people's belief in her has even reached the point of obsession.

  Everyone in the world feels that the Queen's mother loves the world, and accusing the Queen without evidence will chill the hearts of the people all over the world.

   But it would be different if it was accused by the saint.

  She is a saint of a country.

  Because of her arrival, Donghua ended the three-year drought.

  All the people regard her as a goddess, and they will naturally believe in what she says.

   She is the best candidate.

  In modern times, this must be a battle of public opinion.

   But Li Beibei is a modern person, she knows how to fully guide public opinion.

   Xuanyuan Junyi said: "I don't need the people in the world to know, I just need to let Chen Qi know, as long as he knows that the queen has made an unforgivable mistake, he will surrender his military power after all."

  Li Beibei also agrees.

  It's just that now, although Li Beibei can identify it, he lacks conclusive evidence.

   It was at this time.

  There was a knock on the door.

   Then Wei Feng pushed the door open and came in.

   Xuanyuan Junyi frowned and said, "What are you doing here at this time?"

Wei Feng said: "Before, there was a sneaky person in the Xianzi Building. The minister sent someone to guard the Xianzi Building for more than two months, but he didn't catch the sneaky person. But today, when the guards from the patrolling camp were patrolling the city, , but caught two suspicious people, the Xianzi Building is empty at this time, someone sneaked in, there must be something strange, and this was found on their bodies, do you want to see your Majesty?"

  Xuanyuan Junyi looked at the thing in Wei Feng's hand and frowned: "What is this?"

   "This is Fan Xingzi. Both Your Majesty and the Empress were poisoned by Fan Xingzi."

   Xuanyuan Junyi said with a sullen face: "Bring me in."

   Immediately afterwards, Wei Fei brought in two people.

   are two little eunuchs.

  The two little eunuchs knelt on the ground and shivered.

   Xuanyuan Junyi said coldly: "Raise your head!"

  The two young eunuchs raised their heads.

   Xuanyuan Junyi asked: "Which palace are you two from? What are you doing breaking into Xianzi Building at this time?"

  The two young eunuchs faltered, trembling all over, but couldn't say a word.

   Xuanyuan Junyi said in a cold voice: "Wei Feng, since they refuse to speak, they will be pulled out and beaten to death with sticks."

  One of the little eunuchs was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We are only following orders. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

   "According to orders, at whose order?"

   "Yes... is the empress."

  Inside the Royal Study Room.

  The queen knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, why did you wrong my concubine? Even if this concubine killed herself, she wouldn't be willing to hurt you at all."

Xuanyuan Junyi stood, pointed to the two little eunuchs beside him and said: "Then you two should know each other, I look familiar, like people in your palace, these two people are sneaking around in the fairyland at night. Zilouzang Fanxingzi said it was your instruction, and the purpose was to frame the saint."

  The queen said: "I have no grievances with the saint, why should I frame the saint?"

"The person you want to frame is naturally not the saint. You want to frame Concubine Liu Gui through the saint. You used a knife to kill people. Fan Xingzi is a poison that is abundant in Xizhou. You and I are both poisoned. Naturally, no one will doubt it." On your head, you imply that the Holy Maiden was poisoned by Concubine Liu Gui to get rid of Concubine Liu Gui and the fetus in his womb, empress, can you not tolerate my child like this?"

  The empress burst into tears: "Your Majesty, in your heart, is this the kind of person a concubine is? You and I have known each other since Wei Wei, so don't we have such a little trust in our relationship?"

   Xuanyuan Junyi turned around and stood with his hands behind his back: "The moment I ascended the throne, I was no longer me, and you were no longer the old Peiqing, empress, I am so disappointed in you."

  The queen fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face silently.

  She laughed twice: "Yes, you are no longer you, and I am no longer me."

   Li Beibei and Situ Jing stood aside.

  Li Beibei looked at the elegant and generous woman in front of her.

   It's hard to imagine that a face that seems to be knowledgeable and sensible, but has such a vicious heart.

   And if it is in modern times, if it is not really sad to the extreme.

  With her appearance like this, she can really win a queen trophy.

   And at this moment, the door of the Imperial Study Room opened.

  Chen Qi strode in.

  After entering, he saw Chen Peiqing kneeling on the ground at a glance, as if she had lost her soul.

  Chen Qi hastily knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to the empress, the empress is not in good health, so it is not appropriate to kneel on the ground for a long time."

   Xuanyuan Junyi flicked his sleeve vigorously: "Chen Qing really loves her daughter, but you might as well ask the queen what she did!"

  At this time, Situ Jing suddenly went up to a thousand, and said everything in detail.

  Chen Qi immediately knelt down: "The empress must have been wronged, please the emperor to investigate clearly."

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "I have already checked very clearly, and the witnesses and evidence are here, queen, do you have anything else to say?"

  The empress smiled at this time: "Since the emperor doesn't trust the concubines, the concubines have nothing to say."

  Chen Qi also felt a burst of heartache seeing his daughter's heart ashamed.

Chen Qi said: "Your Majesty, don't be blinded by monsters. Pei'er grew up with you and has deep feelings. Can't Your Majesty feel her feelings for you? Back then, Your Majesty was hunted by wild bears, and it was the Queen who straddled a horse. To lure away the wild bears, and finally fell off the cliff, he was seriously injured and left with old illnesses, has the emperor forgotten all about it?"

   Xuanyuan Junyi did not speak.

  Situ Jing stepped forward and said: "Of course the emperor will not forget, and it is precisely because of this that, in view of past affection, the emperor can let the past go, but the empress is so bold because she relies on the power of the general."

  Chen Qi looked at Situ Jing: "What is the meaning of the national teacher?"

Situ Jing said calmly: "The general is old, and the emperor can't bear you to worry about your life, so he gave the general a fief in Huaiyang. The general may as well hand over his military power and go to the beautiful Huaiyang to retire. The general agrees." how."

  Chen Qi naturally heard the meaning of the national teacher.

   This is actually a deal.

  The emperor can ignore the crimes committed by the queen this time, and the price is that he surrenders his military power.

  Chen Qi remained silent.

  Seeing the ashen face of the queen over there, I couldn't bear it.

  The queen's thoughts on Xuanyuan Junyi, he was clear in his heart.

   It is also because of this that he supported Xuanyuan Junyi to take the position.

   Unexpectedly, this guy is ungrateful...

  However, he is the emperor after all.

  He now holds military power in his hands, and he can conspire against him.

   But if so, his Pearl will never forgive him for the rest of his life.

  He is old and has no son, so what's the point of getting a throne.

   Xuanyuan Junyi is Pei Er's favorite person.

  Kill him, she will suffer forever.

   Besides, there are saints now, and saints have a high prestige among the people.

  If she stood up and made accusations, how would she be able to stop everyone from talking.

  Chen Qi just thought for a long time: "I am willing to disarm and return to the field, and I ask the emperor to treat my daughter kindly."

   Xuanyuan Junyi finally turned around.

  He leaned down and slowly helped Chen Qi up: "Don't worry, general, because of the past, as long as I'm here, the queen will always be the queen."

  Seeing the smile in the corner of Xuanyuan Junyi's eyes, Li Beibei felt a strange feeling in his heart.

  Finally, everyone in Xianzilou was released.

  Everyone returned to Xianzi Tower unscathed, Li Beibei also breathed a sigh of relief.

  In the evening, Chen Peiqing's eyes filled with despair appeared in Li Beibei's mind.

   Li Beibei felt uncomfortable for a while.

  A woman cannot pretend to be disappointed and heartbroken by a man.

   Li Beibei had heard about what happened afterwards.

  The next day.

  Chen Qi returned the tiger amulet in the court hall.

  Xuanyuan Junyi immediately divided Chen Qi's army into eight parts and handed them over to the eight generals, completing the distribution of power.

   Immediately, he cut off Chen Qi's left and right arms in the court hall.

   Open the imperial examination again.

   Reuse the children of poor families.

  The power of the court has been completely changed in the shortest possible time.

  Everything is tightly organized, fast and meticulous, as if everything has been arranged in advance.

   A month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter.

  Chen Qi's power in the court is gone forever.

   It is said that after he arrived in Huaiyang, he fell seriously ill.

  In the harem, the empress has been staying in Fengxi Palace, shutting the door, and ignoring the affairs of the Six Palaces.

  Concubine Liu Gui is five months pregnant, relying on her own dragon seed to dominate the harem.

  There are rumors inside and outside the court that the emperor will soon abolish the queen, and concubine Liu Gui will become the new lord of the six palaces.

  Li Beibei stayed in Xianzi Tower, blocking all gossip.

  Xuanyuan Junyi still likes to let her accompany him for dinner.

  But Li Beibei found reasons to be unwell and did not pass.

  Linglong asked her to go out to play in the palace, but she was not interested at all.

  Li Beibei doesn't know what's wrong?

  But it was inexplicable that he felt a little disgust for this palace wall and the people in this palace.

  Maybe she knew the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

  Until one day, news came from the harem that the queen died of illness.

  When Li Beibei heard the news, a string in his brain seemed to be snapped.

  Li Beibei locked herself in the room for a long time.

  The queen died of illness, and the whole country was mourned.

  Xuanyuan Junyi also announced that he would be dismissed for five days to express his thoughts on the queen.

   But at the same time, Li Beibei inadvertently learned from Fu Jingmo that Xuanyuan Junyi had transferred his troops to surround Huaiyang.

  If Chen Qi gets the news of the queen's death, if there is any disturbance, he will be punished immediately on the spot.

  After hearing the news, Li Beibei felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart.

  She kept convincing herself that this was a political fate, and it was not something she could control.

  Chen Peiqing's death had nothing to do with her, it was because of her unrighteousness and ambition.

  But Li Beibei vaguely felt that he was wrong.

   Especially when chatting with Linglong, I heard Linglong talk about their past.

  In just a few words, Li Beibei could feel Chen Peiqing's deep affection for Xuanyuan Junyi.

  Li Beibei sometimes can't help but wonder if she made a wrong judgment or if she believed in the wrong person.

  These questions trapped Li Beibei like a cage.

  The night the queen was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

  Li Beibei was lying on the bed and sleeping.

  Although it was late at night, Li Beibei couldn't sleep no matter what.

  Until Li Beibei saw someone flickering outside the window.

   Li Beibei was actually awake, but she didn't move when she saw that figure, but observed in the dark.

   Then Li Beibei heard tiny footsteps.

  Li Beibei saw someone tear the window paper.

   Then a pipe comes in from the outside.

   Then wisps of green smoke came from the pipe.

   Li Beibei naturally guessed what the thick smoke was.

   hurriedly held his breath.

   Then, Li Beibei heard the sound of the door opening.

  She could feel a figure approaching slowly.

   Having been in this time and space for so long, Li Beibei has gradually become familiar with the people here.

  When Li Beibei heard this footstep, he could feel that this person did not know martial arts.

   Li Beibei was curious.

  Li Beibei already felt that person coming to her bedside.

   Then Li Beibei heard a female voice gnashing her teeth: "Demon girl, today I will avenge the empress."

   After speaking, a cold light of a dagger flashed above Li Beibei's chest.

   And at this moment, Li Beibei suddenly opened his eyes.

  She grabbed the man's hand with one hand and squeezed it hard.

  The dagger in the man's hand fell to the ground in an instant.

   Li Beibei turned his hand into a knife, slapped the man on the shoulder, and heard a scream of pain.

  Li Beibei grabbed the man with his backhand, and then asked, "Who are you and why did you kill me?"

  That person didn't expect that the witch would not be enchanted by the ecstasy.

   I didn't expect her to be so agile and powerful.

   At this time, she was caught by Li Beibei and had no power to resist.

  She knew that the matter had been revealed, and she had only one way to die, so she simply sneered and said, "If you want to kill, then kill, witch, I can't kill you today, but even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

  Li Beibei let her go.

  Li Beibei sat on a chair, lit a lamp, and then looked at the person who fell on the ground.

  Li Beibei has always had a photographic memory.

  She remembered this face: "You are Xue He, the personal maid of the empress."

  The court lady was a little surprised when she heard that Li Beibei could call her by name.

  Xue He said: "That's right, I am the queen's personal maid. You killed the queen. Today I came here to avenge her. Since I can't kill you, then I will go down to accompany the queen."
