Chapter 285 Curse

At this time, the Yanling Palace was brightly lit, and the palace was surrounded by imperial guards inside and outside. From time to time, the sound of armor rubbing against each other could be heard.

In the hall, the two sides were still confronting each other.

"...You can kill me or behead me as you wish!" Nie Danying's eyes were full of determination, "But, I did all this because of the Queen Mother's orders!"

"And I have left a blood letter and handed it to the confidant who escorted me outside the palace. If I die, they will immediately deliver the letter to my father. If the emperor does not punish the queen mother, I am afraid that he will not be able to win the support of the people, and it will also make the soldiers on the border feel disheartened!"

Accustomed to life and death since childhood, she is not afraid of it at all, but the only thing she is unwilling to accept is that she did not accomplish this thing!

Even if she dies, those who have harmed her will never have an easy life!

Facing her threats, Hawking remained calm and looked at her coldly, "Just admit it!"

He said coldly: "Catch her!"

The imperial guards stepped forward and restrained her.

After such a long time, the effect of Wu Shi San had worn off. Nie Hongwan's face had turned pale and she was sweating profusely. She was like a spent bow and arrow, and she couldn't even use her martial arts.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Nie Hongwan struggled and shouted at him: "Your Majesty is determined to protect the Queen Mother. Isn't he afraid that my father will know about this?"

"Even if you don't tell me, I will tell your father everything. General Nie is a man who understands the big picture. I believe he will make his own decision about who is right and who is wrong!" Huo Jinchi said coldly.

Nie Hongwan was shocked, and then sneered, "Your Majesty, even if you get rid of me, it doesn't matter. The harem is in turmoil because of the Queen Mother. As long as she is alive, your precious Concubine Xi will never be at peace."

"Wait a minute, I'll be waiting downstairs for Xipin to accompany me!"

Yun Qin was like a thorn in Huo Jinchi's side. Hearing her cursing, Huo Jinchi's eyes were calm, while his were cold and sharp.

"Nie Hongwan, you can fool others, but can you fool yourself?" He sneered, "You keep saying that the Queen Mother instructed you, but in fact, you took the initiative to find the Queen Mother and offered her a plan to kill Concubine Xi!"

"You think the Queen Mother is going back on her word and destroying the bridge after crossing the river. It is obvious that you have forgotten that your father is my man. How could the Queen Mother trust you!"

After hearing what he said, Nie Hongwan realized, "So, you already knew about it?"

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago. Not only do I know the whole process of how you killed that palace maid, I also know how you will deal with the Queen Mother."

There was a hint of nonchalance in Hawking's tone, but his words were like a sharp sword, piercing Nie Hongwan through.

She was not stupid, and she quickly connected the cause and effect, "You, you deliberately ignored me and deliberately favored that bastard named Fang?"

Huo Jinchi did not answer, but said: "I admire your bravery very much, it is like a sharp sword charging into the enemy's formation!"

Killing people is nothing more than this...

Nie Danying's body swayed, his eyes full of disbelief, "You are so cruel!"

She then asked, "You have clearly already thought of how to deal with the Queen Mother, but you kept it a secret, just to entice me to take action?"

Hawking Chi didn't say anything, but he had already agreed.

Nie Hongwan smiled sadly and asked with raised eyebrows: "What about me? What do you plan to do to me?"

"I will spare your life and send you and your letters to the border to hand over to your father!" Huo Jinchi's voice was as cold as ice. "You have to give an explanation. This is what I will give to your father. Guess what your father will give me?"

His voice was not loud, but to Nie Hongwan's ears, it was like a thunderclap.

She immediately struggled violently regardless of her injuries, her voice even more miserable than before, "I don't want it, I won't go back, Your Majesty, Your Majesty you can't be so cruel, just kill me, I want to die here!"

What Nie Hongwan wanted most was to escape from the border and escape from the family rules and military training. What she could not accept the most was to be sent back.

Moreover, how could she face her father, her mother, and her brothers who loved her and held her in their hands!

It’s better to die, it’s better to die!

Thinking of this, Nie Hongwan headed towards the corner of the table next to her, but the imperial guards were prepared and did not let her succeed at all.

"Take good care of the patient and let Doctor Yu treat her wound carefully. It's just a broken piece of skin. I will hold you accountable!" Huo Jinchi ordered again.

"yes!"

Then two strong maids came out from behind him and wrapped her arms and body together with strips of cloth.

Now that the matter was over, there was no need for Hawking Chi to stay, so he turned around and left.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Nie Hongwan could not help but yell at him: "You are so cruel, you have such a cruel heart! Your heart is full of conspiracy and calculation, you should be lonely all your life and die alone!"

Hawking paused slightly.

Xu An, who was following behind him, noticed it and immediately turned around and shouted, "Shut her mouth!"

But Hawking Chi did not look back and continued to walk out of the hall, as if the pause just now was just an illusion of others.

Behind him, Nie Hongwan's mournful cries had not yet ceased.

"Father, Mother, I am blind..."

Then the sound stopped abruptly.

When I walked out of the door, compared to the noise in the yard, there was no sound outside, it was terrifyingly quiet.

The red lantern at the door was still hanging high, shining on Hawking Chi's body, and seemed to cover him with a layer of blood.

Xu An raised his head and immediately nodded to the eunuch behind him.

The eunuchs moved quickly, took down the lantern with a pole, and bent down to blow it out.

Huo Jinchi glanced back.

Xu An blocked the lantern behind him inconspicuously and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is probably still waiting. We should start driving over."

"Okay." Huo Jinchi retracted his gaze, his expression returned to normal, and he stepped onto the carriage.

——

Is Yunqin waiting?

No.

It was already the middle of the night and she didn't have the energy to keep waiting like this. She was sleeping soundly in bed.

I just left two lamps on in the hall, which means I am waiting.

When Huo Jinchi arrived, he saw the warm candlelight coming from the hall, and his tense jaw relaxed a little.

But when he saw Rong Xin standing outside the hall, he knew that Yun Qin should be asleep.

"Your Majesty, the Queen..."

Huo Jinchi raised his hand to interrupt her and walked into the hall.

There was an unfinished chess game on the chessboard in the hall, with the chess score turned upside down next to it, and a few books were stuffed next to the mat under the low table.

I guess she got this storybook from somewhere and stuffed it in there secretly because she was afraid he would see it.

There was a smile on Hawking Chi's lips as he walked lightly into the inner hall. The inner hall was completely silent, with no lights on and only moonlight shining in from the window.

The person on the bed was fast asleep, with half of the quilt covering him and the other half falling to the ground.

Under the moonlight, you can see her peaceful sleeping face, her brows relaxed, free of worries and fears.
