Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

The Empress Dowager had given Li Yuanli's mother, Concubine Qian, a cup of poisoned wine and killed her. The revenge for killing her mother must be avenged.

"Queen Dowager, I'll see you off." Lu Yun smiled sarcastically.

Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou stood in front of the Queen Mother, their faces alert. Lu Yun glanced at the two strong and cute little princes casually and gritted her teeth.

The goal of the Emperor of Southern Chu is to kill the Queen Mother of Qing.

But since Lu Yun has come to the scene, she will kill all of Li Yuanjing's children and leave only Lu Xuan's son. In the future, when Lu Xuan's son grows up and has no competitors around him, the chances of the court officials supporting Lu Xuan's son as emperor will be higher.

Lu Yun licked the corner of her mouth.

She once maliciously speculated about her sister Lu Xuan's good intentions because of a dream. Now she killed Li Yuanjing's beloved children as a gift to her sister to make amends.

Lu Yun did not delay any longer, took two steps back, raised his hand and ordered: "Kill them all, leave no one alive."

The assassin disguised as a eunuch drew his blade.

Li Chengtai's face showed nervousness.

At the critical moment, there was the sound of swords and sabers outside the tunnel, and the sound of armor. Lu Yun turned around in horror, and saw a dozen tiger guards appearing from nowhere, cutting down the assassins one by one like chopping melons.

When Lu Yun came to her senses, her hands had been tied up. Lu Yun widened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that she had become a prisoner in an instant.

The room fell into dead silence.

The leading tiger guard knelt on one knee and said, "I am here to guard the Cining Palace on the orders of the Emperor."

The Queen Mother ordered, "Take the children back to the house and let them rest."

Caiping and several old maids went into the tunnel, took the frightened young masters away and comforted them.

The empress dowager supported Nanny Qian's hand and walked out of the tunnel with steady steps. The sun was shining brightly outside, the flowers and plants in the yard were lush, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, and asked the Tiger Guard, "What's the situation in the palace?"

The tiger guard replied: "All the assassins have been captured."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Move the body away and wash away the blood. The children are young and cannot stand seeing dirt."

The palace maids and eunuchs filed in, holding cleaning tools, and methodically cleaned up the blood on the floor. Madam Qian brought a bowl of soothing soup, and the empress dowager leaned back in a soft chair and drank it slowly.

On the floor of the inner hall, there knelt Lu Yun, covered in blood.

Lu Yun was not too stupid. Seeing the Queen Mother's calmness, she immediately understood. Lu Yun screamed, "You set up this trap on purpose!"

What a trick to catch a turtle in a jar!

The Queen Mother pressed her temples, her face showing a bit of fatigue, and her voice was neither hurried nor slow: "I was once the master of the six palaces, and I have seen all kinds of storms. Concubine Qian was poisoned to death by me, she was stupid and didn't know it."

After a brief pause, the empress dowager vaguely saw Concubine Qian's beautiful eyes and eyebrows.

The Queen Mother felt a little regretful: "I really like Concubine Qian's personality. If she hadn't died, I could have become her best friend."

Pity.

Different positions mean they are destined to be mortal enemies.

The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, and the Tiger Guards walked into the inner hall, blocked Lu Yun's mouth, and dragged the frantically struggling Lu Yun away.

The Cining Palace was in good order and the flowers in the courtyard were blooming luxuriantly, as if it was just an ordinary day and no assassination had taken place.

...

Outside the city of Yanjing, the river was rushing and the boat was shaking violently.

Shen Wei held onto the mast tightly with both hands, looking at the two emperors fighting on the ship, feeling extremely speechless.

Could you two please stop fighting on the boat!

If you fight again, the boat will capsize!

"So you have already guessed that I would assassinate the Queen Mother." Li Yuanli wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled slyly, "You are such a cold and indifferent person. Your children are all in the Cining Palace. Aren't you afraid that my people will kill them as well?"

Li Yuanjing was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. He stabbed him with a knife.

Prince Daqing has been practicing martial arts since he was young, so naturally he is quite skilled.

The boat rocked again, and Shen Wei felt dizzy and dazed. The cold water splashed and soaked half of Shen Wei's body. She could no longer hold the mast with her hands, and like a fish falling into the water, she plunged into the cold March river water.

slam-la-

The river water filled my mouth and nose.

The river water after the spring is the icy water flowing down from the melting snow mountains, which is freezing cold. When Shen Wei fell into the water, she was almost frozen into a fool.

I felt cold all over and had no strength at all.

Shen Wei wanted to curse these two living ancestors!

They fought and the one who got hurt happened to be the innocent one. Shen Wei kicked her legs hard, trying to float to the surface. But in the extremely cold river water, Shen Wei's right leg began to cramp. Shen Wei opened her mouth, and the freezing cold water poured into her throat. The short ten seconds of drowning seemed infinitely long.

She could almost smell death.

After working hard for half a lifetime, your wonderful retirement life has not even begun, but today you have to die in a river?

...

on board.

As soon as Shen Wei fell into the water, Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanli, who were fighting fiercely, were startled at the same time and stopped fighting.

Li Yuanjing had no time to care about Li Yuanli. He stepped on the edge of the boat and wanted to jump into the river to save him.

But Li Yuanli was faster than him.

With a "thump", Li Yuanli had already plunged into the icy river. Li Yuanjing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a complex and indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

His younger brother has always cherished his life.

Today, he jumped into the water to save Shen Wei, regardless of his own life.

When did the relationship between Li Yuanli and Shen Wei become so close?

"Why are you still standing there? Give me a hand!" Li Yuanli quickly surfaced and supported the unconscious Shen Wei.

It was a protective posture, with half of Li Yuanli's face covered by the river water, and he tried hard to support the unconscious Shen Wei. If he was not careful, Li Yuanli might be washed away by the river.

Li Yuanjing felt as if a thorn was piercing his heart.

Li Yuanjing bent down and pulled the unconscious Shen Wei onto the boat.

Shen Wei was soaked and shivering from the cold. Li Yuanjing immediately took off his coat and put it on Shen Wei, then gently patted Shen Wei's back to let her spit out the river water in her mouth and lungs.

Li Yuanli struggled to climb up by grabbing the edge of the boat. His right hand was almost numb, and blood gushed out again, staining the deck red.

Lying on the deck, gasping for breath.

Li Yuanjing glanced at Li Yuanli's right hand, which was bleeding, and took out a bottle of golden medicine from his arms and threw it over. Li Yuanli held the golden medicine and asked suspiciously, "Is this medicine poisoned?"

Li Yuanjing ignored him.

The two men temporarily ceased fighting.

The boat docked.

Li Yuanli smeared some golden wound powder on his right hand, and the wound on his right palm pierced by Shen Wei stopped bleeding temporarily. With a glance, he saw Li Yuanjing carefully carrying Shen Wei off the boat.

Shen Wei fainted from the cold, her face was pale and her lips were blue, she looked extremely fragile.

Li Yuanli wanted to go over to check on Shen Wei, but Li Yuanjing blocked him with his long arms and said coldly, "If I hadn't boarded the ship today, where would you have taken my woman?"

Li Yuanli smiled but said nothing.

The wind is strong by the river and the sun is dazzling.

The sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and a Nanchu secret guard on horseback came quickly and said a few words anxiously in Li Yuanli's ear.

Li Yuanli's pupils suddenly widened. He stared at Li Yuanjing intently, gnashing his teeth and sneer, "What a good trick! I underestimated you."

Li Yuanli thought that his plan to sneak into Qing State and assassinate the Queen Mother was flawless.

Who could have expected that Li Yuanjing was well prepared?

While Li Yuanli was away from Nanchu, Li Yuanjing urged his secret agents in Nanchu to instigate other members of the Nanchu royal family to seize power. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. The Nanchu court was in chaos, and the overall situation in Nanchu, which had finally calmed down, was disrupted again.

If Li Yuanli did not rush back to Southern Chu in time to quell the rebellion, the throne of Southern Chu that he had obtained with great difficulty would be taken away by others.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Li Yuanjing held the unconscious Shen Wei in his arms and said coldly, "Why don't you get out of here?"
