Chapter 836 (1/2)
On the corridor leading to Qixia palace, a palace man walked in front, the lantern in his hand shook gently, the faint light became more and more gloomy around, and the darkness seemed to never melt away.
Nalan night and Luo qingluan followed him, walking slowly and slowly. Except for the footsteps of three people, there was silence.
Through the bluestone path and the dark rockery, the road ahead gradually widened, and a temple appeared not far away. Luo qingluan noticed nearby as she walked. Although she couldn't see anything or hear anything else, the more she did, the more she noticed something.
Not even the sound of insects. The silence is terrible!
She glanced knowingly at Nalan night, and happened to look at him. They gently nodded and understood each other's intention: be careful, there is an ambush nearby!
If there were not a large number of people lying in ambush around, how could there be no insects in the grass garden so late at night? It was such an abnormal situation that Luo qingluan understood without looking. There was danger around him.
Knowing this, they are more and more determined. They have reached this stage. They are waiting for the trick of Dongwan emperor!
As long as he starts first, they will have no scruples.
”King of Chu, Princess of Chu, Qixia palace is ahead.” At this time, the palace man turned around and bowed his head respectfully, ”Your Majesty is ready. No matter what happens or what sound, no one will break in. What the king of Chu wants to do will never be disturbed.”
Then he retreated slowly and disappeared into the darkness step by step.
Looking at the Qixia palace in front, two palace lanterns are hanging above. In the night, they are like two strange ghost fires. The surrounding dense layers of trees are hard to see, as if there are countless dangers hidden.
Nalan night's eyes flashed, his thin lips raised slightly, brought out a touch of light ridicule, and took the lead in walking forward. Luo qingluan followed him closely. He had secretly fastened the prepared things in his hands and was ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
The door of the temple opened and the light came out, but it was still dead.
If you really hand over Princess Li to nalanye according to what emperor Dongwan said, I'm afraid she should be the only one left in the hall?
”Nalan night...” standing at the door of the hall, Luo qingluan suddenly smiled and became curious: ”do you think we will see imperial concubine Li when we go in?”
The corner of his lips raised, and Nalan night looked at her with a smile: ”what do you say?”
Luo qingluan shrugged and smiled playfully: ”who knows, just go in and have a look.”
At the same time, they walked in and looked forward along the embracing palace column. The palace lanterns were quiet and bright, the crane's mouth was dotted, and the gauze curtain in the hall was flying. It was cold. A woman in Red Palace clothes sat on the spacious bed with her back to them.
Is this princess Li?
Not seen for several days, Luo qingluan couldn't confirm for a moment.
”Who are you?” Unexpectedly, there was really someone in the hall. Luo qingluan asked aloud.
Although it was impossible to confirm, she didn't believe that this person was imperial concubine Li. Dongwan emperor wouldn't be so simple. He really asked them to poison his favorite woman with their own hands.
Ahead, the woman was shocked and turned her head slowly.
The shoulders began to tremble. Although slight, it became more and more obvious. A bright and moving but somewhat pale face appeared in front of Luo qingluan. To her surprise, the woman was really imperial concubine Li. She bit her lower lip and looked pleading. She didn't seem to dare to look at them.
”Imperial concubine and empress...” Luo qingluan was slightly stunned and soon recovered, ”I didn't expect it was you.”
”Nature is the palace.”
With a bitter voice, imperial concubine Li's eyes fell on Nalan night and said, ”king of Chu, according to your agreement with your majesty, this palace has been waiting for you for a long time.”
There was no half emotion and his tone was cold. Nalan night only glanced at her and said in a voice, ”do it.”
As soon as she shook her body, Li Guifei didn't believe it. Her face changed and her eyes looked aside subconsciously.
Following her eyes, Luo qingluan saw a white wine pot and a wine glass on the dresser not far from her. It was obvious that they had been prepared long ago.
There's really poisonous wine!
Luo qingluan was surprised. Did emperor Dongwan really want to poison concubine Li to calm Nalan night's anger? Even so, is it true that Princess Li is willing to die without any resistance?
Thinking of Li Guifei's usual character and the ambush around her, she had felt that there would be a soul stirring battle tonight.
She slowly stood up. Imperial concubine Li was dressed in a red palace dress. It was gorgeous. It was the set of instrument that she could wear when she was appointed imperial concubine. Caifeng attacked her body, and her feathers were embroidered so delicately. The jade and noble spirit shaking on her head hit her. If you change her expression, I'm afraid it will make people think she is going through the canonization ceremony.
But the expression on her face was so pitiful and frightened that there was no color on her lips: ”king of Chu, do you... Do you really want this palace to die? Your teacher is dead and can't be reborn. Can you ask the king of Chu... Spare and spare this palace's life, and this palace is willing to pay any price.”
