Do not kiss the king

Chapter 26 Fireworks

"Your Majesty's Concubine."

The woman in luxurious clothes waved her hand lightly, and with a laugh, the arrow in her hand entered a pot not far away, startling a sparrow into the air.

"Say."

Without looking at Luo Xiang, she raised her little finger and picked up another arrow.

"My lord said, it's time for your empress to make a move."

The woman raised her sharp eyebrows, her eyes fell leisurely on the eunuch's hat,

"Yeah."

"I'm so tired of staying here for so long."

After speaking, he raised his arms and waved back, and the maid who was waiting in the distance stepped forward.

"You go to the imperial hospital, call an imperial doctor, and tell me that I am not feeling well."

The little maid went down, Luo Xiang also lowered his head, and left the pavilion where the noble lady stayed together with her.

Not long after I left, I heard the lady's chuckle again.

"what?"

Chi Chengqi stood up abruptly, lifted the boy who was kneeling on the ground, grabbed his collar tightly,

"I can't do this well, what are you doing to eat!"

The boy's face was flushed and he couldn't breathe. Chi Chengqi threw him on the ground and survived.

"Go! Prepare the car! Enter the palace!"

Chi Chengqi shook his sleeves and walked out with a dark face. The boy coughed several times on the spot before recovering, and quickly ran out to prepare the car.

The carriage drove to the gate of the palace in the dark, Chi Chengqi got off the carriage, and rushed straight to the queen's place.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw the fruit and snacks on the table spilled all over the floor, and the maids couldn't pick them up.

The Empress stood with her hands on her head, her eyes were red, and she said,

"It's over...it's all over..."

"When she gives birth to a child, Qi'er and I don't have to live, we don't have to live..."

Chi Chengqi walked up to her angrily, tore off her arm,

"Mother!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The queen's eyes moved to his face tremblingly, and then grabbed his arm like a life-saving straw, tears flowed into a waterfall,

"Qi'er, Qi'er..."

"She, she is pregnant, pregnant!"

Chi Chengqi held her hand tightly, with a firm expression on his face,

"I won't let her be born."

"No one can threaten our mother and child."

"It was before, and it is now."

The queen cried out, resting her forehead on his shoulder, the hair ornament on her head dangling,

"The emperor asked her to go to the palace to raise a baby, what else can we do?"

"Queen, why are you so confused!"

Chi Chengqi closed his eyes with heartache, and embraced the thinning woman,

"The farther she is from here, the better our chances of winning."

"Let's leave this matter to Erchen."

He opened his eyes, and in front of his eyes was the short and seductive figure, as well as the majestic man.

Only now did he understand that the status and self-confidence he was proud of before were all alms from that man.

He and the queen mother are just playthings that can be discarded at any time.

And that dragon chair is the only safe guarantee.

"Empress mother, son-in-law will definitely sit in that position regardless of everything."

"In this way, no one can manipulate us anymore, so that we can not worry about it."

"Father," Chi Chengqi tightened his fingers, his eyes darkened, "he was the one who abandoned us first."

--------

Ruan Yuan was dressed in a light corset, dressed as a young gentleman, staring at the target in front of him, drawing the bow with his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth and chin.

He used to pretend to be dumb, but now he is really dumb, but he is living the way he wants.

It's not the beauty who is famous in Luozhou City, but an ordinary but carefree son.

"Raise it higher."

Chi Jinnian stood beside him with a serious face.

Others seem to be serious, but he seems to be extremely affectionate.

Ruan Yuan raised his arm according to his words, spread his fingers, and the arrow flew out, straight into the target, only a little away from the center of the target.

"good."

"My lady learns archery, she is talented."

Chi Jinnian rubbed his hair with a smile, and Ruan Yuan turned his face to the side, seeing that he was really happy.

Then the prince went straight to the target, raised his hand and pulled it out, reinserting the target ten meters away.

"Tomorrow, go a little further."

He turned his hands behind his back, turned to this side, and looked at Ruan Yuan.

Young Master Xiaoqiao completely caught his gaze, shook his head, and drew an arrow from the quiver next to him, pointing it at the target that had moved.

Chi Jinnian didn't move, and stood close to the target.

Gu Cong saw from a distance that this increasingly arrogant young man took the prince as a target, he was a little surprised, he stopped and watched the arrow stably inserted into the target, he didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Half a month ago, I couldn't even hit the target.

"See you, my lord, my lord."

He walked over, and automatically lowered his eyes when he approached the little boy.

Chi Jinnian walked over from the target, took the bow in Ruan Yuan's hand, drew an arrow from the quiver, and aimed at the bull's-eye without looking at Gu Cong.

"Say."

"The imperial concubine is pregnant, and the emperor ordered her to be sent to the palace to raise her baby. She will leave in ten days."

Ruan Yuan turned his face to look at Chi Jinnian's expression. His deep eyes were extremely calm. When he let go, the arrow went straight into the bull's-eye.

"in this way."

"Follow her, protect her, and don't show her clues."

After speaking, he turned to look at Gu Cong sideways, put a hand on his shoulder,

"Only you can do this."

Gu Cong nodded, agreed, and then walked away. When he turned around, he heard the man behind him say to Young Master Xiaoqiao,

"This place is too small, let's go out tomorrow and take you out for a while."

Gu Cong's pupils trembled slightly, and the picture of the little boy riding on the horse appeared in front of his eyes.

He skillfully pulled the reins, and rode the horse galloped on this flat ground, lap after lap.

Yes, the place is indeed too small.

No need to think about it, the young master must have smiled brighter than the sun in the sky when he heard this.

---------

The line of imperial concubines leaving the palace was very long, followed by hundreds of soldiers, protecting the luxurious carriage in the middle of the line.

Chi Chengqi stood on the high palace wall, surrounded by the night, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

A clear voice pierces the air,

"Respectfully sending the imperial concubine out of the palace——"

Then a bunch of fireworks rose and exploded in the sky.

The moment it exploded, his gloomy vision was illuminated.

He will be eighteen this year.

Originally thought that with the support of his father and mother, he would successfully enter the East Palace.

But in reality, he stood on a high palace wall, staring at a life that had not yet been born, calculating the chance of surviving.

For a moment, yellow sand seemed to rise around him, and his heart was scorching hot. He seemed to understand Chi Jinnian.

Born in the emperor's family, no one can live a comfortable life.

Just to live, you have to shed a layer of skin.

--------

The sound of thousands of footsteps mixed with the howling of dead leaves bursting resounded in the mountains.

An arrow whizzed past and stuck on the window sill of the carriage.

The sound of hundreds of people drawing their swords came out in a hurry, and the rain of arrows that could not be seen at once hit, some blocked it, and some fell down.

The man in black strode into the field of vision, and the soldiers in armor shouted and stepped forward. After a while, the bloody smell of the quiet mountain road permeated.

The carriage stopped in the middle of the disconnected queue, and no one noticed the slight tremor of the carriage in the chaos.

Suddenly a bright white figure leaped from the air to the roof of the car, and entered the car amidst the warnings of the soldiers.

The empress in the car opened her eyes wide, not in panic, but in carnival when she smelled blood.

Gu Cong took out a thick cloth from his sleeve, stuffed it into her mouth at the moment when she opened her mouth wide, then grabbed her waist and kicked her out of the carriage.

Everyone froze, and looked up to see the white man hugging his mother firmly, leaping up the branch, and disappearing into the night in an instant.

"Chase!"

The people in black immediately gave up fighting with the soldiers and chased in the direction where Gu Cong disappeared.

After chasing forward for more than ten meters, a scent suddenly diffused on the dark mountain road, and the desperately running people stopped, and then fell to the spot one after another.

In the fragrant mist stood two figures, one white and one red.

The red empress lost her mind, showing a long tail in the dark night, her fingernails suddenly elongated, scarlet as if stained with blood.

She rushed to the man in white in front of her, and the man appeared behind her in a blink of an eye, his eyes were as round as hers, and his pupils shrank into a strange line.

She turned around in the air, hooked her tail to his leg, and hit his neck with one hand. The man tilted his head to avoid it, then grabbed her by the collar, and kicked her stomach while pulling it back.

The lady was kicked, but when she fell, she was protected by a thick white tail, and when she reacted again, her mouth was stuffed with a cloth coated with medicine.

She gave the man a last wary look and closed her eyes.

The man held her in his arms and looked at the men in black who had fallen on the ground. When he raised his head, hundreds of white foxes jumped out of the night, and in the blink of an eye, those men were dragged into the bushes.

The fog cleared, and no one could see the man's tail except the bright moon in the sky.

The imperial concubine was assassinated on the road and disappeared.

When everyone was panicking, the empress appeared in the palace intact.

In the dark night, someone screamed and went crazy, and someone raised the corners of his mouth in the dark.

----------

"Get on the horse."

Chi Jinnian led two horses over, and Ruan Yuan stood on tiptoe to put on the prepared bamboo hat for him. The man took advantage of the situation and put his hands on his waist, and gently sent him up, and the young master got on the white horse.

Chi Jinnian stabilized his bamboo hat, turned over and stepped onto the black horse in front, with one hand hanging down, the rope he was holding was connected to the white horse behind.

Ruan Yuan grabbed the horse rope, watched the man turn around, wrapped the rope from his palm to his wrist, and said to him,

"You have stumbled in this bamboo forest."

"Don't be afraid this time, I'll take care of you."

Ruan Yuan's Adam's apple twitched, slightly pressed down the bamboo hat to cover his face that was getting hotter, let the man sit on the black horse, let out a soft shout and moved forward, pulling his own white horse.

The two horses walked slowly into the bamboo forest, they couldn't hear the gloomy wind whistling past, only the handsome back of the man in front and the rope in his hand.

Following the sound of the horse's hooves landing, Ruan Yuan suddenly felt that Chi Jinnian's hand was wrapped around his own beating heart.

I don't know if the pagoda tree flowers in the courtyard of the palace are gone, but the tree in his heart will always come back to life, and it will always be spring all the year round.

Baguio: "The young master is gone, gone, ah—"

Ruan You: "Brother, brother—you won't die!"

Ruan Yuan [cold sweat]: "It's over, I forgot to report safety, I was too happy staying in the inn..."
