The Ugly Empress《丑娘娘》Chou Niang Niang
The Ugly Empress, Chapter 46, vol 2 Chapter 1: Meeting (Sweet stuffs)
Xue Jun Liang's smile froze on his face. He pushed Shen Yi on the ground and shouted, “What did you say?"
Shen Yi clenched his teeth and said, “His majesty we are in mourning."
Xue Jun Liang's hand was almost blue and sharp. He threw down Shen Yi and swept away the things on the table. There was a lot of activity in the small temple. The tribute plate “Crackled" on the ground. Someone looked at it outside, but he dared not rush in.
Xue Jun Liang sneered: “Aren't you brilliant? She asked me to save your people, but why didn't you protect her? "
Shen Yi knelt on the ground, watched Xue Jun Liang speak to the memorial tablet, and couldn't help saying: “His majesty..."
Xue Jun Liang didn't let him finish saying, “How did empress die? Is it Xue Yu? "
Shen Yi hung his head and didn't answer immediately. It's just that Xue Jun Liang is angry at this. He's afraid of saying anything and leading to an accident because the Emperor Xue will really order for Xue Yu to be killed.
In the eyes of the common people, Xue Yu and Emperor Xue are brothers. It's a matter of God's will. Even though Xue Jun Liang is in charge, if he does this, he will lose the people's heart.
Xue Jun Liang saw what he meant, and his heart was clear. He didn't speak any more, and went straight out of the temple, leaving only one sentence “Return back to the palace".
* * * * *
Teng Yun vaguely heard Xiu Yao's screams and shouts, but he had a heavy head and couldn't think about anything. He just wanted to sleep.
He felt that he was a little bit hot, breathing became difficult, and finally he could only fall into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that all his organs were hurting, and his whole body was suffering like a layer of skin was peeling off. He could not move a finger at all as if he had a cramp.
Teng Yun opened his eyes slowly and painstakingly. His face was burning and painful. He was hanged and tied up by others. It seemed that his arms were about to dislocate.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he had a flash in front of his eyes, followed by the crack of the whip, and Teng Yun's face was burning again. He could hardly open his eyes because of the pain.
Teng Yun thought for a moment, did he have a long dream? In the absurd dream, he became the empress and helped him to make a plan for war. Then woke up from the dream. In front of him, someone was beating himself with a whip, just like those days when he was captured.
He was full of flesh and skin bruising, and didn't have a patch of good skin.
The prison soldier hit Teng Yun, and the other one looked like a leader. He sat drinking while watching a good play. One Prison soldier said: "Fight hard, but don't faint again. It said that he can only half his life and leave a breath. He can't die so easily. If he died easily. We have to bury him! "
Another prison soldier said, “What great thing has this guy done?"
The prison soldier said with a smile, “You don't know? You don't know such a big thing! He killed the empress, set the fire to the Yunfeng palace. The fire almost burned the whole palace. Heard the palace, at last empress is a tragedy. Emperor is angry! "
When Teng Yun heard their talk, he opened his eyes wide and made a few moves. Prison soldier thought he wanted to resist and beat him hard.
“That's a big crime of killing the mother of the state! Just a junior bodyguard like him? It's impossible, isn't there a mastermind? "
The prison soldier said mysteriously: “I really know that the man named Teng Ying is really stupid. He is just a chess piece. It's said that he was the chief envoy of Princess Teng! Because he was jealous of the empress, he wanted to burn people alive. Women in the palace can do anything! "
“Is that enough?"
“Yes, no, the emperor is really angry this time. He has arrested the Marquis of Tengnan."
Hearing this Teng Yun didn’t know what it's like. It turned out that these absurd things were not dreams. He was burned in the Yunfeng palace. Once again, he was plotted by his relative and reincarnate into Teng Ying who ignited the fire.
Those prison soldier chatted happily, and told them not to kill the prisoners, but to take a breath.
Xue Jun Liang quickly went back to the palace. Xue Hou Yang has found out the chief conspirator in the capital. After all, this is a stupid thing to do. At present, catching up with Teng Ying. Xue Hou Yang's identity can't touch Teng Qian Yi, so she has to be locked up and can't go out.
Teng Qian Yi didn't know that Lang Jing deliberately made the plot involving her. From the very beginning, she became the stepping stone for Xue Yu.
After returning to the palace, Xue Jun Liang put Teng Qian Yi in the cold palace for the time being, and sent Xue Hou Yang to catch the Marquis of Tengnan and bring him to the Imperial capital to go to jail. However, after all this, his mood could not be calmed down.
Xue Jun Liang is so smart. Naturally, he knew that Xue Yu and the Marquis of Tengnan are people on the same boat. If it wasn't for Xue Yu's rebellion, how could empress die? The Imperial court official begged that the first emperor to spare his life. All his descendants should not die for his mistake.
Xue Yu was captured. He was already defeated. He didn't care more. Anyway, there was nothing more terrible than death. He even asked people to tell Xue Jun Liang that they would wait for him to kill him himself. Instead, he wanted to see the iron wrist on Emperor Xue.
Xue Hou Yang advised Emperor Xue, but he was refused to enter the temple. Xue Hou Yang had no choice but to ask Teng Shang for help.
However, Teng Shang was in a bad mood. Xue Hou Yang thought it was because of the arrest of the Marquis of Tengnan, and comforted Teng Shang: “The Marquis of Tengnan is a lord marquis. If he didn't know about it at all, I would not be punished, but Princess Teng..."
After hearing this, Teng Shang sneered and said: “I once thought that I would devote my whole life to Emperor Teng to repay the former Emperor's grace. It's a pity! It's a pity that heaven has asked me to do something disloyal and unjust. "
He said that his eyes were a little red. Teng Shang always had a strong disposition and could not easily express his feelings and thoughts. Today, Teng Shang seemed to be unable to restrain himself.
On that day, he escorted Xue Yu to his residence, and then he entered the palace. He never thought that the Yunfeng palace was on fire. The fire had been extinguished. The palace maid Xiu Yao, who had been following empress, was lying in the ruins, crying and fainting.
Teng Shang's heart thumped, and then Xue Hou Yang sent an urgent report to Emperor Xue, saying that the empress was dead.
What Emperor Teng has done over the years has gradually cooled Teng Shang's heart. The reason why he will be loyal to the Teng state is that Teng Zheng Xuan adopted him when he was most helpless and raised him how to be a man.
Teng Shang wanted to repay the Teng state, but his reward can only help tyranny, and the sudden appearance of Teng Yun has almost become the last consolation of Teng Shang. Now Teng Yun is burned in the Yunfeng palace. Suddenly, Teng Shang felt that the heaven and earth have collapsed and despair has almost annihilated him.
Xue Hou Yang didn't know what he said wrong. Teng Shang never showed such an expression. After taking a breath, he managed to restrain his excitement and said: “It seemed that Teng Shang can't help the Lord Marquis. If I can help, I might think about how to let the Emperor Xue kill Xue Yu."
Xue Hou Yang was stunned, and then understood that the death of the empress had hit him so hard. Although he had a simple mind, he could see something was wrong.
Even though the empress can use soldiers and talk to Teng Shang, they are not from the same country. They are familiar with the other person, which not only made Xue Jun Liang suspect, but also Xu Hou Yang.
Xue Hou Yang didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to let Teng Shang rest more, and then went to the palace to persuade him.
Xue Jun Liang, sitting alone in the Emperor’s Library, sent Jiang Yu and the palace people out, and fixed his eyes on the defense map not far away. He still remembered that empress once pointed to this defense map and talked with him about the art of war, if he marched, if he deployed.
Now, the Yunfeng palace has become a ruin
Xue Jun Liang's throat rolled once. He raised his head and reclined on the back of his chair. He didn't expect that he would be so concerned, so concerned and so sad about anyone in his life.
The people he cares about are dead, but he, a monarch who thought he can't be immortal, can't do anything about the main culprit. Let alone how to kill the main culprit. He can't even touch Xue Yu, or even punish him severely. The people will think that Xue Jun Liang is a cruel emperor.
Xue Jun Liang stood up, walked to the map step by step, covered the food road in the deep hinterland with his palm, and said to himself with a smile: “I've heard a lot and seen a lot of things in the Teng state these days, which is no different from what you told me, how much ability you have, and how many things you can know in the palace..."
Xue Jun Liang sighed and his hand covering the map trembled slightly. He smiled and said: “You have gone like this. You are really resourceful, leaving me so many mysteries..."
Jiang Yu stood outside the Emperor’s Library, which was supposed to be the time for passing meals, but he did not dare to disturb Emperor Xue, so he could only watch the Emperor’s Library and sighed frequently.
Outside, Xue Hou Yang came again, and Jiang Yu went over and said, "Lord Marquis, come back in a few days, his majesty He's sad. It's useless for you to advise him. "
Jiang Yu said with a choking voice, "Lord Marquis doesn't know, how does his majesty treat the empress. At present, although his majesty doesn't say it, this old slave, this old slave is sad to see you."
Xue Hou Yang also knew this truth. Yu Xin can't bear it. As soon as he wanted to go back, he heard Xue Jun Liang call Jiang Yu to go in.
Jiang Yu came out soon. Xu Hou Yang asked. It turned out that his majesty had to personally review Teng Ying.
The death of the Xue State empress can't be concealed from the Feng state at all. In particular, Empress is not only dead, but murdered by Princess Teng.
Feng Ming could not seize this opportunity, but some officials think that Xue Jun Liang has annexed the Teng state, and now if the Feng State send troops is like fighting two countries at once.
The Imperial court official Lu Shi said: “The Imperial court official thought that it's better not to send troops now. Although Emperor Xue has absorbed the Teng state, after all, the two countries have been fighting for a long time, so Teng * * people have two minds, and they can't be willing to be controlled by Emperor Xue. Moreover, the Xue after rebellion, the foundation of state capital is damaged. This is a great chance... Just... "
Feng Ming felt reasonable after hearing what he said. What we should pay attention to in war is to work with one mind. As long as we have the morale on the upper, it's not impossible. We're afraid that the morale of the army will not be the same. Even if there are many people and many people, it's still a group of scattered sand, and we can't make a difference.
But when he heard that the Imperial court official Lu Shi had some concerns, he said: "Lu Shi might as well say it directly."
"Just... War, labor and wealth, whether winning or losing, suffering or the common people, the Shui river has not recovered from being flooded. If emperor went to the army, I'm afraid it will cause complaints. "
Feng Ming pondered for a moment. Zhao Lu was in the front side but he didn't speak. Feng Ming wanted to hear his opinion. Zhao Lu just said, “But it's up to the emperor."
Feng Ming can't weigh it. Fortunately, he broke up the court session. Anyway, it's not a matter of day and night to send troops. I have to think about it again.
In the next Imperial court session, Feng Ming asked Rui Xue to stop Zhao Lu. Rui Xue said with a smile, “Master, the emperor is looking for you. I'm sorry that you haven't been there for several days."
Zhao Lu glanced at him and didn't care to laugh, but said, “Do you know that Emperor Teng is subordinate to Emperor Xue?"
“Of course, I know that Emperor Teng is now in prison."
Zhao Lu added: “Then you know, the Teng state is gone, and the Feng state and the Xue state are left to confront the other person?"
As soon as he said this, Rui Xue was stunned for a long time, murmuring: “About this... This... "
Zhao Lu sighed and said, “All these years, it's time to leave."
Marquis Zhao Lu left the shocked Rui Xue and went to Feng Ming's palace.
Feng Ming was wearing a wide apricot yellow robe. Although he didn't look very elegant, he took advantage of Feng Ming's appearance.
Since the Shui river's return, the relationship between Feng Ming and Zhao Lu has become more and more intimate. Zhao Lu often stays in the palace rooms of Emperor Feng palace. Before, he thought that the great Imperial court official of Marquis Zhao Lu was out of favor, and began to bow to Zhao Lu again.
But when Xue Jun Liang accepted the Teng state, Zhao Lu began to worry about it, and there was less time to go to the palace. Since the Teng state was gone, there was only the Feng state and the Xue state left. It was only a matter of time before they met the other person.
Feng Ming used to wear women's clothes because he wanted to please Zhao Lu. But now he doesn't want to flatter that person anymore. He didn’t know if it's because of common troubles. Zhao Lu's attitude towards him is better. Their relationship has almost overturned the previous unequal payment.
But Feng Ming didn't know that it couldn't last long.
Feng Ming thought it was because he didn't see Zhao Lu for a few days and didn't care about the abnormality of Zhao Lu. Zhao Lu stayed in the palace that night.
Feng Ming smiled and said to him, “If we attack the Xue state, who do you want to send?"
Zhao Lu didn't expect that the other party would mention this. He was also most afraid of mentioning this. After a while, he said, “I can't think of anyone who can do it."
Feng Ming nodded and said, “The most trusted person around me is you and Lu Shi. Lu Shi is like the Imperial tutor, you..."
After a pause, he raised his head and rubbed his lips against Zhao Lu's earlobes. He smiled and said, “I naturally trust your words. I want you to go."
Zhao Lu heard that he closed his eyes and held Feng Ming's waist tightly. The more he believed in him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Feng Ming wanted to say something else, but saw Zhao Lu turn over, press him under his body, lower his head to kiss his lips, and then go down his neck, every kiss is like crazy, persistent and devout.
Feng Ming has just been tossed by him once. In recent days, he has worked hard for the matter of the Xue state. He can't help Zhao Lu to be cruel, but he made him faint.
Zhao Lu hugged the sleeping Feng Ming, covered his quilt, buries his face in his shoulder, sighs softly, and said in his heart, “You trust me now, I don't know how you are going to hate me in the future, just like I hated you in those days."
Zhao Lu knew in his heart that if Feng Ming let him lead the army, he would never return to the Feng state.
* * * * *
Teng Yun was beaten and passed out. Prison soldier didn't know that he couldn't help fighting. He was a bodyguard, but it was only the empress.
Teng Ying is really a no strength only words person now. He has no kung fu skills. He doesn't eat much after catching it. He is weak and can't stand such a beating.
Prison soldier also wanted to use water to wake up Teng Yun. Someone on the top came to say that Emperor Xue wanted to personally examine the prisoners, so he took the unconscious Teng Yun away. He also said that it's better to be dizzy and save effort.
Xue Jun Liang looked down at the man lying on the ground. He could hardly recognize him. He saw Teng Ying for the first time that day. He was handsome and had a worldly temperament. He thought he was not a vulgar person, so he was disappointed. See you today. He was angry.
Xue Jun Liang didn’t dislike the blood flowing on the floor of the Emperor’s Library either. He went over with a negative hand and lightly kicks the man in the face.
Teng Yun felt cold, choked several breaths in his nose and mouth, and was suddenly woken up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Jun Liang's cold eyes.
Jiang Yu let the guard with buckets to water down and shook his head.
Teng Yun's face was covered with blood stains. As soon as he was watered, he closed his eyes. He narrowed his eyes. He didn't seem to have the strength to look up to see Xue Jun Liang again. He had to hang down his head and fall on the ground to breathe heavily.
Xue Jun Liang smiled, his voice without any emotion, and said: “Aren't you very strong? Depending on someone's support, you are brave enough to murder empress. Have you suffered? Don't worry, it hasn't started yet. Zhen won't let you die. There are many ways for Zhen to let you know that dying is also an extravagant hope... "
Xue Jun Liang finished saying that, he suddenly lost his spirit for a moment. He still remembered that day when he sacrificed to the ancestors, empress assassinated him, and once said such words to him, but later there was nothing to die for. In retrospect, he believed that man so much, that man died, that he was so sad, that he could not let go.
Teng Yun also opened his eyes for a moment. He wanted to talk, but it was a pity that his throat was burning and painful. When he opened it, he would cackle hoarsely. He could not hear a complete sentence at all. He could only smile faintly.
Teng Yun didn't know if he killed too much in the fights for half his life before. God let him end up like this as the punishment.
Xue Jun Liang saw his smile and frowned. As soon as he wanted to get angry, Jiang Yu came in and said, “His majesty, the Marquis of Wannian, looks like the report at the border."
Xue Jun Liang just walked back to sit down and didn't let people drag Teng Yun down. He just told Jiang Yu to let Xue Hou Yang come in.
As soon as Xue Hou Yang came in, he smelled a strong smell of blood. A bruised man was lying on the ground, while Xue Jun Liang was sitting on the big chair steadily. He didn't take it seriously at all.
Xue Hou Yang just frowned, handed the report to Jiang Yu, and presented his respectful hands to Xue Jun Liang.
The report said that Xue and Feng's border areas began to be agitated, and Feng Ming stepped up the conscription and training, with no more obvious intention.
Xue Jun Liang is now upset. He starts to smash the report on the ground and snorts, “Emperor Feng is getting more and more self-sufficient. Zhen has collected all the troops of the Teng state. Does he want to hit the stone with an egg?"
Xue Hou Yang wanted to persuade him. After all, the army of the Teng state may have different ideas, but it is not suitable to fight at this time. Moreover, Xue Jun Liang seized the Marquis of Tengnan. At this time, he is in prison. The people of the Teng state must be frightened and afraid of being hurt.
Nowadays, the instability of people's mind is a great taboo to send troops to fight.
But Xue Hou Yang also knew that at this time, Xue Jun Liang can't hear anything. Before he can figure out how to speak, he heard a hoarse laugh, which is as strange as the old tree skin, but it's not hard to hear contempt.
Xue Jun Liang rose to Teng Yun's side and said, “The prisoner under the stairs can still laugh so happily. Zhen should admire you."
Teng Yun's throat rolled, his mouth opened and closed several times before he could barely make a sound, “I laugh at you. Such silly incompetence, also said that one should crack an egg using a stone by overestimating his own capability! "
