Chapter 520 Under the Skin
The scene was chaotic. All that could be heard was the sound of swords and screams. In front of us, corpses dripping with blood kept falling. There were people from the Tongle Hall and the soldiers of King Guangping. There are also guards brought by the Queen Mother.
The man dressed as a chamberlain kicked over the government soldiers blocking the way, turned his head and whispered: "I and the others are alone. I am afraid of being outnumbered. I will escort your Majesty out first!"
< br>The Queen Mother did not want to make the matter a big deal, but when she learned that the emperor was trapped, she just wanted to try her best to persuade him to reconcile and calm down the matter, so she did not bring too many people. Now she was obviously at a disadvantage when she started to take action.
Gao Qian was about to speak when he saw a figure jumping in front of him.
Gao Yu held a long sword and glanced at the injury on Gao Qian's arm. He gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Brother Emperor, I really underestimated you!"
At this moment, someone came in to kill him. .
"My rescue is too late."
Gao Yu was startled. He looked back and saw a group of forbidden soldiers rushing in from outside the gate.
While Gao Ye was distracted, Gao Qian stabbed him straight into the abdomen with his long sword.
With the participation of the Imperial Guards, the situation quickly reversed. In a short time, all the imperial soldiers inside and outside the Tongle Hall were restrained.
Gao Qian held up his sword and looked over one by one. Those who were tied up together with Gao Yu were also the survivors of the Tongle Hall.
At this moment, they were all escorted to kneel in the middle of the ground.
Gao Qian was about to step forward when his feet stopped.
“Your Majesty!”
One of the chamberlains carried the fainting Queen Mother out of the backyard with a pale face and panic.
Gao Qian's eyes were condensed and he looked expressionlessly. The man's head, held between two chamberlains, was tilted to one side. His hair was scattered and his eyes were closed. He was already unconscious, with a ball on his shoulder. The wound was still bleeding.
A person who is usually aloof and proud is in an unspeakable embarrassment at the moment.
A chamberlain asked for instructions whether to declare the Imperial Physician.
A dim light flashed through Gao Qian's narrowed eyes, and his thin lips curved slightly.
He raised his finger slightly and pointed to a certain room on the second floor, and said in a cold voice: "Go get tea."
Soon someone came back with a cup.
Gao Qian's eyes remained motionless, staring at the unconscious person: "Feed her."
The person kneeling on the ground was startled, and he raised his head in shock and fear.
Others don't know it, but Li Yizhu knows it. This tea was specially given to 'Qian Lang' before. Special medicine was added to it. Although it is not life-threatening, it...
At first, when King Guangping tied up the emperor, she saw that he was unable to struggle, so she thought he drank the tea without her noticing. It was not until she saw the emperor holding a sword and fighting with others that she realized that he had been deceived.
It’s just that the emperor knew that there was something wrong with the tea, so why did he still give it to the Queen Mother to drink?
The chamberlain glanced at the gloomy emperor quietly, and his eyes slowly fell back to the cup in front of him. How could he dare to give the Queen Mother a drink of tea from a place like this?
During hesitation, someone picked up the tea cup.
The chamberlain trembled: "Your Majesty——"
Gao Qian paused for a moment, then slowly turned around to look at him: "Is there a problem?"
The man behind the light pursed his lips, his eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, and his eyes with murderous intent instantly chilled people's hearts. .
The servant's knees weakened, and he knelt down with a thud, his forehead touching the ground, and he did not dare to say another word.
Ignoring the pain in his left arm, Gao Qian gently straightened the Queen Mother's head and carefully poured the tea into her mouth bit by bit.
How gentle the movements of his hands were, how cruel the light in his eyes was.
He drank half of the tea and sprinkled half of it. Some of it flowed out from the corner of his mouth and wet his clothes, but he ignored it.
Everyone held their breath and watched, feeling that this scene was indescribably weird.
After finishing a cup of tea, the tea cup was thrown away.
At this moment, General Wu Wei and Wang Tingyue walked in one after another, and when they saw Gao Qian, they bowed down.
“Your Majesty, King Guangping and his followers have been captured, and Zhou Situ and others have also been rescued from private prisons.”
When Gao Yu heard this, he ignored the blood flowing all over his body. He stared wide-eyed and gasped. He didn't believe that he was defeated like this. Before Gao Qian returned to Jinye, he had already started to deploy. How could he be completely defeated.
He kept struggling and yelled: "It's impossible, Gao Qian, you lied to me, it's impossible!"
One of the forbidden soldiers scolded him and raised his hand to slap him. Gao Qian glanced sideways, and the Imperial Army immediately bowed their heads and retreated.
Gao Yan was like a wild beast that had fallen into a trap, filled with unwillingness and resentment. He glared viciously at the hunter in front of him and roared with red eyes.
Gao Qian slowly lowered his head and looked at him calmly: "Who do you think you are waiting for today? To tell you the truth, you are the one waiting for me! Idiot!"
He lowered his eyes and shook his head: "You don't want to think about Gu hiding all the way. Why did you come here without any concealment? Dare you show your true face?"
Gao Yu was startled: "Did you deliberately bring me here?"
Gao Qian straightened up and took half a step back, glancing around briefly and casually.
"I have known that this place belongs to you for a long time. Don't ask me how I knew it. You won't believe it even if I tell you."
He tilted his head and smiled: "Since I can kill you the first time, I can kill you the second time."
Gao Yu was stunned: "...the second time?"
While Gao Qian curled his lips, he raised the long sword in his hand.
"Brother, Rao——"
"Slow down——."
There was a violent coughing sound from behind.
All the shouts stopped abruptly, and red blood erupted instantly, pouring all over the ground. You could clearly hear something falling to the ground, and Gululu rolled out.
Gao Qian put down his sword and turned his head to look over. It was the Queen Mother who had fainted and woke up. She looked happy but sounded worried.
"Mother, are you awake?"
The Queen Mother stared at the head not far away, dizzy, trembling lips, and her voice was hoarse: "A Qian, you, how can you Kill him?”
Gao Qian looked at the bloody sword in his hand, then at the corpse with its head and body separated, and smiled suddenly: "Everyone can find and punish traitors and traitors. Mother, are you right?"
The Queen Mother's legs and feet Weakened and a little unsteady: "There is still room for this matter, why do you..."
Gao Qian looked coldly at the bleeding wound on her shoulder and chuckled: "Room? Treat the traitor What room do you want? Mother, you are so confused!"
He paused for a moment and stared at her meaningfully: "Moreover, I just cut off his head with a sword, and my mother-in-law used to treat Ni. Compared with the punishment of being quartered with five horses, the thief is really too kind. Mother, don’t you think so?”
"Emperor, you, you are..."
"Whoever keeps his evil ambitions from dying will only be able to avoid future troubles forever."
Gao Qian smiled coolly and stopped looking at him, stunned. The people in the area were only ordered to leave the door, except for those in the Tongle Hall.
Someone was pouring fire oil everywhere.
The chamberlain helped the Queen Mother to leave first.
Just as one of Gao Qian's legs was about to cross the threshold, a woman cried hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Gao Qian stopped and looked.
He frowned and looked at her for a long time before he could barely identify the woman with the makeup.
"...What Qi?"
Li Yizhu's face was filled with tears and he kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the sake of our acquaintance, Amiao, yes, for the sake of Amiao..."
Qian Lang and Amiao?
There was relief in the cold eyes.
He was silent: "Okay."
Li Yizhu felt happy and was busy thanking him.
Gao Qian: "You said Gu can look at it however he wants, right?"
Li Yizhu was puzzled.
Gao Qian smiled: "If you look closely, Gu Yi always likes to peel off skin and bones. Only in this way can you know whether the person hiding under the skin is a human or a ghost."
