Before the battle, the female companions of Zong Sui Kyoto added some smiles to the battle, which made Feng Yuheng sigh at the power of idols. At the same time, he was also relieved for Xuan Tianhua. At least there were so many people thinking about him. When he woke up one day, he shouldn't feel too desolate!
But, Chunyu An said that he wanted to cooperate with Dashun to attack the city? Xuan Tianming laughed, "How could the old thief Chunyu cooperate with Dashun to attack his own family for no reason? It's obvious that he wants to exchange the lives of the royal Li family for the lives of his Chunyu family. He really has a good plan."
"Yes!" Feng Yuheng also snorted coldly, "Back then, he risked his life to help Li Jian ascend to the throne, and even helped Li Jian kill his father and brother. Now that the Li family is finished, he wants to betray the Li family in order to save his life. What's the use of Dashun for such a fence-sitter? What's more..." She looked at Xuan Tianming and said, "We have a grudge against the Chunyu family."
Xuan Tianming's mind moved, and he immediately understood what she meant. Bu Cong took Chun Yuling to the capital of Dashun to make trouble. Although he was not in the capital at that time, Feng Yuheng told him about the previous events when they met later. Although Chun Yuling was not dead, she did not want to recognize the Chunyu family as relatives anymore. For the Chunyu family, that daughter was already lost. The revenge that Feng Yuheng was talking about was the revenge for killing her daughter. Even if Chun Yuan turned to Dashun to save the Chunyu family, he would definitely have a gap in his heart because of Chun Yuling.
"We can't keep such a person." Xuan Tianming said calmly: "It doesn't matter who killed Li Jian, we only want Duanmu Anguo." As he spoke, he raised the letter in his hand, which was the one that Fang Jinse had sent over. "This noble lady Fang is smart. It's worth it to save their families in exchange for Duanmu Anguo!"
Feng Yuheng nodded, with overwhelming hatred in his eyes, "Duanmu Anguo, I can't let him die so easily."
In the Sui Palace, the threat from Dashun was getting closer and closer, but Li Jian was imprisoned in Ganhe Hall by Empress Chunyu Qing, and he couldn't even get out of the hall. Li Jian made a scene every day, and kept calling for his secret guards, but unfortunately, those secret guards seemed to have disappeared, and he couldn't call any of them out.
The eunuch Zhou Da who was serving beside him said to him, "Your Majesty, please stop shouting. All our secret guards have been killed by the Empress's men. Not a single one is left."
"What?" Li Jian didn't believe it. "My secret guards are very skilled in martial arts. How can they be killed just like that bitch?"
Zhou Da stamped his feet and sighed heavily: "Alas! Your Majesty! We think we are the strongest in everything, but the people around the Queen are all from the Chunyu family! General Chunyu is a military commander, and he must be better at training secret guards than us. In addition, since you ascended the throne, you have always turned a blind eye to the Chunyu family's placement of forces in the palace, which has led to the growing power of the Chunyu family. Even the commander of the imperial guards in the palace has become a member of the Chunyu family. Your Majesty, now this palace is no longer named Li, but Chunyu. Do you know that in order to survive and escape from the palace, the ladies in the harem have turned to Zheng Qi for help. Even Concubine Fang..."
"What happened to Concubine Fang?" Li Jian couldn't let go of Fang Jinse. After all, Fang Jinse had only been in favor for a short time, and Li Jian's excitement had not yet worn off. So when Zhou Da mentioned Fang Jinse, he couldn't help but get excited - "Why did they ask Zheng Qi for help? I vaguely remember that person named Zheng Qi, he seemed to be Chun Yuqing's cousin."
"That's right." Zhou Da nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you need to ask this in detail? Just think about it and you will know what kind of requirements a man will put forward to a woman. Let me tell you the truth! Now in the harem, nearly 80% of the ladies have been touched by Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi is also a person with special hobbies. Several concubines have been tortured to death by him."
"What?" Li Jian was shocked, but he didn't care whether the concubine lived or died. He was thinking about Fang Jinse, "Where is Concubine Fang? What happened to Concubine Fang? Tell me quickly, what happened to Concubine Fang?"
Zhou Da said, "What else could it be? Concubine Fang also found Zheng Qi, and it is said that Zheng Qi had long been interested in Concubine Fang. How could he let go of this opportunity? I heard that Zheng Qi stayed at Concubine Fang's place for two consecutive nights, from dusk to dusk, without stopping. Concubine Fang was tortured to the point of howling, and the next day she even had difficulty getting out of bed. She..."
"Stop talking!" Li Jian was furious. "Zheng Qi! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
"Who are you going to kill?" The voice of Queen Chunyu Qing was heard outside the Ganhe Hall.
Li Jian looked up, but saw Chun Yu Qing walking towards him accompanied by a group of servants. No one knew what was wrong with Chun Yu Qing, but she had changed out of the gorgeous clothes that symbolized her status as a queen and put on the clothes of an ordinary girl. She even let down her hair. From a distance, she looked like an unmarried girl, exactly the same as she used to look in the general's mansion.
Li Jian felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the time when he went to the general's mansion to propose marriage and wanted to marry a lady from the general's mansion. In fact, he was not attracted to Chun Yuqing at the beginning, but Chun Yuling. He liked Chun Yuling since he was very young. Although Chun Yuling was not good-looking and was far inferior to Chun Yuqing, Chun Yuling was very heroic. She had learned riding and shooting and practicing martial arts with her father since she was a child. No matter when you see her, she was heroic. She did not have the trivial thoughts of ordinary women. She was upright and acted more generously than men. Li Jian liked Chun Yuling like that, not Chun Yuqing, who was obsessed with fighting in the backyard.
Unfortunately, Chunyu Ling had an accident. After falling off the horse, his temperament changed. He talked nonsense all day long and said all kinds of strange things. He was a prince and could not marry a sick woman as his principal wife. However, he had great ambitions. If he wanted to get the help of the Chunyu family, he had to marry them.
So, when the old general Chun Yu An proposed to marry his third daughter Chun Yu Qing to him, he agreed without much thought. After that, the Chun Yu family really supported him wholeheartedly, and helped him from an unknown prince to the throne of emperor. At that time, Li Jian also thought that marrying Chun Yu Qing would be good. Although she was a little tacky and not as unique as Chun Yu Ling, at least she was good-looking. When he became emperor, he still needed a beautiful queen to support the scene. In comparison, Chun Yu Ling was too ordinary.
But now, when Li Jian looked at Chun Yuqing again, he saw a venomous scorpion face. He began to regret marrying such a poisonous queen. He was not dead yet! Zong Sui was not finished yet! His queen openly admitted that the person she loved most was Xuan Tianhua, the seventh prince of Dashun, and even instigated her cousin to harm his concubines in the harem. This woman, how could she be so poisonous!
"Why do you, a married woman, comb your hair like you are still waiting to be married?" Li Jian pointed at Chun Yuqing and said, "Why? I am not dead yet, but you can't wait to get married again? Woman, do you have any shame?"
Chun Yuqing snorted coldly, "Li Jian, a king of a fallen country is like a dog that has lost its home. How dare you shout at me?"
"So what if the country is destroyed?" Li Jian laughed in anger. "Chun Yuqing, oh Chun Yuqing, don't think I don't know what your Chunyu family is planning. You want to turn sides at this time and gain a good reputation in front of the Dashun people? You are dreaming! Dashun will not look favorably upon you if you can turn the tables and kidnap your own king to offer to the enemy. If you can do your last bit of hard work for Zong Sui, perhaps you can get some respect from the Ninth Prince. Now, people think that your Chunyu family is just a clown. Go tell your father that his wishful thinking is not very good. If you don't believe it, try it and see if I am right or not."
Li Jian's words did make Chun Yuqing's heart fluctuate. It's not that she hadn't considered this, but there was no better way at this point. Defend Zong Sui to the death? Maybe you can get respect, but what's the use of getting respect? Who cares about those things when you're dead? It's better to tie up Li Jian and use him to exchange for a glimmer of hope.
She looked at Li Jian with a cold expression, "You don't need to anger me. Even if you tell them that the dragon is coming, the Chunyu family will not change their minds. Li Jian, your death is approaching, so think about how the Dashun people will treat you, and what price you will pay to be buried with the Seventh Prince!"
Li Jian shuddered, Xuan Tianhua's death brought endless hatred to Dashun. He knew that Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng would definitely want to eat him alive. Once he fell into their hands, death would be a good thing. The only thing to be afraid of was that the other party would not let him die easily, but would use all means to torture him and avenge Xuan Tianhua.
He was anxious and shouted, "The one who killed the Seventh Prince was Duanmu Anguo! Why are they looking for me instead of Duanmu Anguo? Queen, go and tell the Dashun people to go find Duanmu Anguo, find Duanmu Anguo!"
"None of you can escape!" Chun Yuqing said coldly, "Li Jian, neither you nor Duanmu Anguo can escape. Unfortunately, I have to use your life to exchange for the lives of my entire family, otherwise, I will definitely execute you with my own hands to relieve my hatred. Come here--" Chun Yuqing shouted, "Tie up Li Jian for me, escort him to the palace gate, and wait for the Dashun Army to enter the palace at any time."
Finally, the day of the Dashun attack arrived. Fang Jinse got up early and kicked Zheng Qi's body off the bed. This was her first time killing someone. When Zheng Qi was leaning over her and moving most happily, she inserted a golden hairpin into Zheng Qi's temple.
Zheng Qi was killed on the spot because just before he arrived, Yue Xin had just told Fang Jinse that the Dashun army had already received a reply. The message was sent by a spy planted by Dashun in Zong Sui, who told Yue Xin that Feng Yuheng would come to the palace in advance on the day of Dashun's siege, waiting for Yue Xin and Fang Jinse to hand Duanmu Anguo over to her personally. And their families had been protected by Dashun, and they were absolutely safe.
Fang Jinse finally felt relieved after hearing this. She took the last chance to kill Zheng Qi, and then Yue Xin helped her wash her bloody hands and changed into clean clothes. Then the two of them hurried to Duanmu Anguo's secret room. But before she could speak, Duanmu Anguo sniffed hard, then stared at Fang Jinse and asked, "There's a bloody smell, did you kill someone?"
