"I don't care whether you want to die or live. -" In short, find a way to send me out of the palace first." The charming eyes narrowed into a thin line. Ruan Yanluo raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes. "This snake is the most poisonous snake in Monan. It's a ghost. As long as I move my fingers, it will bite your skin. If it weren't for my antidote, it wouldn't take more than a stick of incense to kill you. Listen, I don't want to die. If so, just do as I say. Move all your people to the front to attract the enemy. Leave the back door free for me."
A small green snake about a foot long spit out bright red snakes. Its body brushed against the skin, and a cold feeling went straight to the bottom of the heart. It was as if death was always following it.
However, Yi Chenxuan was not afraid of it. Contrary to what Ruan Yanluo expected, this man who seemed to have never known fear actually let out a few chuckles. He raised his hand slightly. The poisonous snake swung as if it had seen its nemesis. The ground rushed back to Ruan Yanluo's sleeves.
"Sometimes I have to admit that the two of us are a perfect match together." Facing Ruan Yanluo's pale face with shock, Yi Chenxuan sat back on the dragon couch leisurely, pinched the grape berries and put them in his mouth. "Both of them. I am a snake and scorpion person. There is no difference. The difference is that you use venomous snakes and I use poison. I have learned how to tame snakes more than ten years ago. But how to apply poison... haha. It's ruined. I really can't bear your face."
As Yi Chenxuan's words fell, Ruan Yanluo suddenly noticed something was wrong with his jaw. A strange hot feeling spread rapidly from the place where Yi Chenxuan's fingertips touched. Soon it spread to the entire face and was torn away. The pain on her face was unbearable. Ruan Yanluo didn't know what Yi Chenxuan had done to her. The only thing she knew was that she had fallen into his trap and been poisoned by him. If she still refused to give in, then she would throw it away. It will not only be this face, but also her life.[
Poof. In the face of life and death, the always proud Princess Yanhu knelt heavily on the ground. She kept pleading in an almost despicable tone. Until Yi Chenxuan had seen enough fun, he lazily threw out a "pill". She was so enchanting. Fang Wu's red figure chased the pill and rolled it to the corner in embarrassment. He swallowed it wholeheartedly along with the dust. Then he stumbled and climbed to the door.
"I hate people who threaten me. This is your last chance." He said coldly. Yi Chenxuan closed his eyes and lay on the dragon bed in a leisurely manner. Hearing the roar outside the house getting closer, he fell into a brief sleep.
There was no scene in the dream. Only how many years, how many years. A conversation that has never been forgotten. It was as cold as ice.
..Father, why do they all say that I don’t look like my father, nor do I look like my mother and concubine.
..Who says it’s not the same? Xuan’er, look, your eyes don’t look like those of my father.
..Eunuch Tian, my father hasn’t come to see me recently. Are you very busy? After my mother’s death, I was very scared to sleep alone...
..Shhh. Fifth prince, please be quieter. The emperor is teaching the seventh prince how to play chess. I will take you to the imperial garden to play, okay?
..Isn’t that the fifth prince? I heard that he was born to Concubine De from an affair. Look at his facial features. He doesn’t look like the emperor at all. No wonder Concubine De has been staying in the harem for so many years. I won’t go either. I’m afraid I won’t have the face to show up.
..What can we do? The eldest prince will inherit the crown prince's position. Even if the eldest prince makes some mistakes, there will still be a seventh prince. That is the emperor's favorite child. No matter how many good things happen, the fifth prince will not be able to do it. I think Empress Dowager De's death was mostly due to heart disease. She must have suffered for having such a capable son.
"It's so noisy. It's so noisy."
That was the first time he lost his temper when he was young.
Yes. They were all noisy. So those who spoke died. They died beautifully and poignantly. Like the epiphyllum that bloomed quietly at night and withered in a blink of an eye. To this day, no one knows by whose hands they died. In what kind of way did they die? Under the bizarre poison.
I slowly opened my eyes. What caught my eye was still the scenery. It was monotonous and lonely. Just like every sleepless night for more than 20 years, I always spent this time counting the patterns on the bed.
"Second uncle, you have never played chess with me since I had the seventh child."
The empty inner hall and the deserted atmosphere suddenly heard such a meaningless sentence, which made the queen confused: "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Yi Chenxuan stood up, half-leaning on the bed and looked sideways at Yaohuang. There was a complicated and incomprehensible color in his eyes.
The sound of swords clashing was getting closer and closer. The tense atmosphere dissipated Yi Chenxuan's inexplicable mood. His fingertips tapped on the smooth table. There was a bit of expectation in his eyes that could always hide his thoughts well. There was a snap of his fingers. Crisp. A subtle noise came from the outer hall. Yi Chenxuan didn't ask. It seemed that he already knew who the person outside was.
"Her poison has not been completely cured. You two go to Tianlao to keep an eye on Lao Qi. I will give you the antidote after the incident is completed. Do you want to see her face completely ruined and her intestines pierced and rotten, or do you want to stay here?" Waiting for an opportunity to kill me. It's up to you."
After a short moment of silence, there was a knock on the door as an answer. Ji Sanqian's figure quickly disappeared in the exterior scene.[
Guessing people's hearts and seizing their weaknesses. No one is better at these things than Yi Chenxuan. That's why he was able to reach this point today. Fortunately, it is also unfortunate.
"Bai Qige has already invaded. Why don't you go out and have a look." Seeing that Yi Chenxuan was sitting in the room with no intention of leaving, the queen asked tentatively.
/
"She has to go to Tianlao to rescue Lao Qi first. Then she will definitely come here." Yi Chenxuan snorted and looked at the Queen sideways without being sarcastic. "This is all thanks to the letter the Queen sent her. Otherwise, she would have to find Lao Qi to pay back the debt. It will take a lot of effort.”
The queen's palms trembled and she pretended to be calm: "Oh. Really? You already knew that I had sent news to the outside world."
"Tao Shihai has been following his second uncle for many years. A loyal heart can't be shattered by just cutting off two of his fingers. Last time, he took advantage of my absence to lead Zhan Ting into the inner palace and killed Wu and injured Ji Sanqian in an attempt to save you. This time, of course, He will also do whatever it takes to spread the word to the outside world for the Queen." Yi Chenxuan shrugged, showing an expression of incomprehension. "I really don't understand where the so-called loyalty comes from. It doesn't matter if Zhan Ting ends up with the seventh child. Tao Shihai, Ou Suiliang. In the end, it’s okay with my second uncle. I’ve done as much to Jinyan and Qi’er as they did. As a result, I gained nothing but betrayal.”
"Compare your feelings to others. If you just treat them as a tool, you won't be able to treat them sincerely."
"What about the queen? Are you sincere to your second uncle? What did you get in the end?" Yi Chenxuan asked back. Seeing the queen speechless, she sneered repeatedly. There is too much wishful thinking in the right and wrong of the harem. Yi Chenxuan didn't say anything. It doesn't mean he doesn't know. Maybe he knows more than the Queen.
Yi Chenxuan got off the bed and stood in front of the golden cage for a while. Suddenly he remembered something. He lowered his head and took out a pill from the pouch on his waist and handed it to the queen: "Give it to him."
"What?" The queen frowned and looked back warily.
"A good thing that can keep him from dying for a while." Seeing the queen reaching out her hand, Yi Chenxuan casually threw the pills into the cage. He stretched his muscles and stepped aside. "Do you think he is as sick as he is now?
Just because of aging."
The queen took a breath.
Indeed, Emperor Yao, who was only three years older than her, should not be so weak even if he had to work hard on state affairs every day. Especially in the past six months, the illness that came quietly was like a shadow tightly entangled.
The emperor lay on the bed all day long. Could it be said that even Emperor Yao's illness was caused by Yi Chenxuan...
How long ago did his deliberate planning begin?
The queen suddenly felt that the palace had long been wrapped in a huge net. Whether it was Yao Huang or her, or Yi Chen, or Bai Qige, no one had ever escaped from Yi Chenxuan's grasp. But this time, the hope of turning defeat into victory was still so slim.
.
Big or small, in the palace of the distant country, the sounds of killing heard in the ears are the same. Only the scene in front of the eyes is different.
As Yi Chenxuan said, Bai Qige led people into the palace and ran straight towards the prison where Yi Chen was imprisoned. Although they were blocked by the imperial army and Yi Chenxuan's private soldiers along the way, under the protection of the Hongying Army and Yi Chen's private soldiers,
She left the battle quickly. In order to save people as soon as possible, Bai Qige led Zhan Ting and a team of about ten elite soldiers to rush to the Tianlao first. However, they stopped in front of the Tianlao.
"Prince Princess, be careful. These snakes are poisonous." Zhan Ting had stayed in the mountains and was no stranger to snakes. So he immediately stood in front of Bai Qige to stop everyone from approaching.
"There are so many snakes." She lowered her head and looked at the colorful cold-blooded animals that were squirming and spitting messages all over the ground. Bai Qige's scalp felt numb and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "They are all over the place. How do you get there? Is this the only door to Tianlao?"
"
Zhan Ting looked around and pointed to an inconspicuous iron door not far away with a grimace: "That's the side door. There are also a bunch of snakes on the ground. Still can't get through."
Needless to say, it can be understood that these snakes were deliberately placed here. It's just that I don't know who has the ability to gather so many snakes. In comparison, Bai Qige is more worried about the use of these snakes. If they are just used to intercept them
It's okay to say. But if he threatens Yi Chen... Bai Qige will never believe it. Yi Chenxuan will only imprison Yi Chen without torturing him.
There are at least three to five hundred snakes in front of the Tianlao. It is impossible to cross these snakes and enter the Tianlao directly. At this time, there is no place to find a snake catcher for help. When I was frowning, something strange happened.
The sound reached Bai Qige's ears. It was like a hard object rubbing against the ground. It was also like someone dragging their feet and rustling.
Bai Qige made a hissing motion to hold her breath. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. After a while, she was finally sure that the strange sound came from the prison.[
"Who's in there? Come out." The soldier who was frightened by the snakes had the courage to roar. Strangely enough, the voice actually stopped. After a while, a figure walked out of the prison.
.
"It's you." Bai Qige frowned slightly. Not because of the person's identity, but because of the person's face. The charming face that should have captivated the country is gone. Although the eyes are still shining with enchantment.
The light. The ugly red scar on the fair cheek was still hard to ignore. She took a deep breath and clenched her dagger. Bai Qige raised her eyebrows: "The country of Yanhu clearly said that it wanted to form an alliance with the country of Yao. But in the end, Princess Yanluo helped the tyrants. Helped.
Yi Chenxuan launched a palace coup to imprison the emperor and the prince. Now that Yi Chenxuan is in trouble, will Princess Yanluo insist on accompanying him to the end?"
Ruan Yanluo spoke. His eyes showed a complicated look of pain, fear and helplessness. He raised his hand slightly, and a piccolo was placed against his lips. A few monotonous syllables floated out. The strange sound sounded again.
"Snake...snake..." Someone screamed in panic. Bai Qige wanted to scold her, but the moment her eyes passed by the door of the prison, she was caught tightly.
There, a huge python as thick as a bowl was opening its bloody mouth. The bright red snake was spitting out and retracting. The snake body, which was more than ten feet long, was circling. Its cold eyes were like clear glass, reflecting the panic of a group of intruders.
