Chapter 399: What is it like to cuckold an emperor?
The wind from the turret cools people's hearts.
The ever-bright lamp is extremely desirable.
Funing Palace closed its doors and windows, and the candles arranged along the walls illuminated the hall as if it were daytime.
The queen was wearing a wide black robe and lying on a table covered with brocade mattresses. In front of her was a azure-glazed wine pot, which reflected its oily brilliance under the candlelight.
Her indifferent face was filled with indifferent eyes, which radiated an indifferent light. She drank up the wine in the small azure-glazed round cup that came with the hip flask in one sip, and then grabbed the jug in front of her. Unexpectedly, This grab was empty, and two wine bottles appeared in the field of vision, slowly separating and slowly coming together.
The queen shook her head, shook some of the drunkenness in her mind, made sure her vision was no longer blurry, and grabbed it again. This time, she caught it. However, what was disappointing was that the wine bottle was very light and seemed Empty.
She raised it up in disbelief, raised her head, opened her mouth and pointed it at the mouth of the bottle. She shook her hand again and again, and shook it again.
No.
There really isn’t a drop left.
"No more wine, no more wine...Cui Xi, Cui Xi..."
No one answered when he called the maid.
"Cao Jing, Cao Jing..."
No one answered when I called the eunuch.
“A bunch of useless things.”
The queen cursed bitterly, untied the wine gourd hanging from her waist, pulled out the lid, and poured two gulps into her mouth.
"Empress, it's boring to drink alone. How about I have a few drinks with you?"
When this unfamiliar voice entered her ears, the Queen's first reaction was that she was drunk. But when a figure walked up to her and sat down cross-legged, took the wine gourd containing wine from her hand, raised it to her mouth and took a big sip, she was stunned.
Heh...
“The wine in this palace is stronger and more fragrant than the wine outside.”
The queen shook her head again and again, rubbed her eyes again and again, and squeezed out the drunkenness in her mind. She realized that the figure opposite was still there, and then she realized what had happened.
A stranger broke into her Funing Palace!
The scene in which Chen Pingping led the black cavalry to kill more than 3,000 people in her family appeared before her eyes. She suddenly opened her mouth: "Cao..."
The word "京" behind it was missing. After saying that, her mouth was covered. At the same time, a palm pressed against her back. A stream of heat seemed to be injected into her body, and it circulated around her meridians for a moment. The dizzying drunkenness slowly subsided. Disappear, sight and mind become clear.
If I was nine points drunk just now, I am only five or six points drunk now.
"If I want to kill you, let alone that eunuch who only has seventh-level combat power. Even if Yan Xiaoyi is close at hand, I can't save you."
"You...who are you?"
The queen looked at the joking young man in front of her with horrified eyes, her heart pounding.
What is Yan Xiaoyi’s combat power?
On the ninth level.
He actually said that even Yan Xiaoyi was no match for him, so how powerful could he be?
But looking at his age, this man is only in his early twenties.
She was sizing up Chu Pingsheng, and Chu Pingsheng was also sizing up her. Because she is a queen, she is pampered and pampered every day. Even if she is treated at the level of a cold palace, her condition is much better than that of an ordinary housewife. Her skin is cold and white. There are only a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and his face is a little sad. In terms of age, he is thirty-seven or eighty-eight years old. He is not like Li Yunqian at all. Because of the domineering Qi training, a man in his forties has the face of a fifty-year-old.
“Chu Pingsheng.”
Chu Pingsheng?
It's actually him?
“Are you the disciple of Grandmaster Xihu?”
“Has Li Chengqian told you about me?”
The queen nodded.
"Then did he tell you that Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son?"
Fan Xian?
Ye Qingmei’s son?
The queen was shocked again, and the blush caused by drinking became extremely pale, because she figured out a frightening logic from the above relationship.
The prince told her that Fan Xian was brought to Kyoto by the Red Cavalry ordered by Emperor Qing, and he planned to marry Lin Wan'er, the daughter of the eldest princess Li Yunrui, to him. The dowry would be from the inner treasury, and Fan Xian also had a Identity: Chen Pingping's confidant Fei Jie, a supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what Chen Pingping is thinking at a glance - from now on the Supervisory Yuan will belong to Fan Xian.
The inner treasury is the economic lifeline of the Qing royal family, and the Overwatch Council is extremely powerful.
What does the emperor want to do?
Are you not satisfied with the Crown Prince and the Second Prince? Or do you mean you can't let go of your feelings for Ye Qingmei?
Whatever the motivation is? Once Fan Xian gains power, neither she nor her son will end well.
Chu Pingsheng poured the wine from the gourd into the cup, looked at the glaze color carefully, and said lightly: "That's right. I didn't know the news until early in the morning, so I went to Funing Palace to discuss countermeasures. If the father of the emperor was I know, I’m afraid I won’t be happy, but the prince still has some political acumen.”
He put the cup into the queen’s hand: “Cheers”
The wine gourd collided with the wine glass, and the sound was muffled and muddy.
The queen mechanically moved the wine glass to her lips, sucking up the wine bit by bit. Her eyes slowly raised and focused on Chu Pingsheng's eyes: "You... tell me these, what exactly is there? The purpose? "
"The purpose..."
Chu Pingsheng looked at the huge Funing Palace: "I heard that the Queen was imprisoned in the cold palace and was living in torture, so I couldn't bear it, so I specially What do you think of the reason why we come here to drink together and talk over wine to relieve the Queen’s loneliness?”
Who would believe this nonsense?
The queen shook her head and said with a stern look on her face, "What exactly do you want?"
Chu Pingsheng glanced at her and said casually: "I heard that you are afraid of the dark... ride?"< br>
The word "black" and the word "ride" were like a sword suddenly piercing her heart. She tilted to one side, the wine glass fell to the ground, and Gululu rolled three feet before stopping. She once again recalled the scene from that year, when her clan members were massacred by Chen Pingping's people, those screams, the blood, the grimaces on their faces, and the hands trying to grab something.
She didn't dare to look, she just covered her head and huddled in the quilt, shivering.
"After all these years, haven't you ever had any doubts?"
Chu Pingsheng stretched out his hand to grasp it, and the wine glass three feet away fell into his palm like a very light feather.
"Doubt? Doubt what?"
Wow...
The wine from the wine gourd gurgled out and poured into the cup.
"Ye Qingmei is dead. Whose hands will her inheritance fall into? Your family is over, who will benefit? Who can sit back and relax? I don't believe you haven't thought about this after living in the cold palace for so many years."
Chu Pingsheng handed out the cup filled with wine again. It took a long time for her to take it, but when her fingers touched the surface of the cup, she suddenly retracted it, her eyes widened, and she shook her head slightly.
"Stop talking, stop talking..."
Of course she had thought about it, and she thought about it very clearly.
Ye Qingmei died, and the Inner Treasury and the Supervisory Yuan became the royal family. Whose royal family belongs to Li Yunqian?
Her family was in ruins, and her aunt, the Queen Mother, and she had lost the foundation to stir up trouble in the court. So who was the party that gained the most from the whole thing?
Qing Emperor Li Yunqian!
Although she also realized the key point, considering that Li Chengqian was established as the crown prince, she buried these emotions deep in her heart and relied on alcohol to anesthetize herself every day to forget her worries and fall asleep.
But now, Ye Qingmei's son is alive, and Fan Xian... is here.
“Do you... want revenge?”
The cup was still in Chu Pingsheng's hand, and his hand was still in the air.
She murmured to herself: "Revenge? I want to... of course I want to... kill Fan Xian... eradicate the roots."
呲.
Chu Pingsheng raised his head, took back the cup he handed out, and drank it all in one gulp.
“You know I’m not talking about Fan Xian.”
Of course she knew, but she didn't dare to think about it.
"Empress, who do you think killed the Queen Mother and directly led to the destruction of the Wang family and your aunt?"
Chu Pingsheng put down his wine glass and raised his right hand.
Without any warning, a bright silver long sword with extremely complicated patterns appeared in his hand. His thumb gently pushed the sheath, and the sword opened slightly.
The doors and windows in the palace were closed, and the candles were brightly lit. It was originally very stuffy, but with the appearance of the sword, a chill overflowed, and the queen couldn't help but shudder.
"It's... it's... it's you?!"
Her Funing Palace is not far from the Queen Mother's Hanguang Palace. On the night of the incident, she heard the noise and ran outside to see it. What a shocking sight. The sword not only cut through the high wall, but also caused the entire Funing Palace to return to Erjiu. At this time, Chu Pingsheng took out the Yitian Sword and said the words above. There was nothing she didn't understand.
"You...are you not...are you Bai Feng, the great master of Xihu?"
"It's not too stupid."
Chu Pingsheng continued to pour the wine: " Let me tell you another secret. That night Li Yunqian knew that the person who killed his mother was Xihu Grand Master Bai Feng, and the two of them even made a deal."
The queen's straight spine suddenly collapsed, with a sad smile on her face: "It's something he can do."
"So, tell me your choice, is to stand with me and take revenge on Emperor Qing?" , you should continue your current life and hope that your son can survive the struggle with Li Chengze and Fan Xian."
"Do I... have a choice?"
"Accurate. He said, no." Chu Pingsheng waved his hand again, and the Heavenly Sword disappeared, replaced by two paintings: "Look at them, do you know the people in the paintings?"
The queen picked up the first painting seriously. Looking at it, she saw a naked girl posing. When she took a second look, the hairs all over her body stood up and she broke into a cold sweat.
"This is...the eldest...the eldest princess..."
"Not bad, let's look at the second picture."
The queen picked up the second painting and looked at it.
Different from the first painting, the second painting is much more decent, but the problem is that the woman in the painting has no face.
She shook her head, and was about to say that she couldn't recognize it, when she suddenly remembered that she saw those faceless paintings on Li Chengqian's painting table when she went to the East Palace. When she asked about it that day, she was told that they were paintings of ladies. Now Chu Pingsheng will see these two paintings. Showing the painting to her, is it hinting at something?
one.
Two.
Three.
After three breaths, she threw away the scroll in her hand and said in a trembling voice: "No, no...impossible...they...they are..."
< br>"Aunt and nephew?"
Chu Pingsheng smiled faintly and slid the wine in the cup down his throat: "Nothing is impossible."
The queen hit her head with her hand again and again. She hoped that she had drunk too much and everything in front of her was an illusion. Chu Pingsheng is an illusion, and so is Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui's unfaithful relationship.
"Empress, I have shown my sincerity regarding cooperation, and now it is your turn."
