Chapter 255 Pingxi Hou: I Am Like a Baton...

Hearing this, the queen's heart immediately tightened, but she didn't show it on her face. "What is your majesty talking about? I don't understand."

The emperor smiled and motioned with his eyes to the queen to bring over the medicine bowl on the table next to her.

The Queen complied and fed the Emperor some medicine like a normal couple. The Emperor opened his mouth in response and continued: "Queen, I know everything about your past with Lu Tingyu. From the time you met when you were young, to the first love, to the time you couldn't help but break the restriction, I know everything, including... …Chu Lingxiu’s true identity.”

The emperor said it easily, but the queen's heart immediately stirred up a storm.

The emperor actually knew that Chu Lingxiu was not his son!

Then why did he establish Chu Lingxiu as the prince, and why he favored and valued Chu Lingxiu all these years...

The more the queen thought about it, the more frightened she became. She felt that the emperor's thoughts were unfathomable.

When she was away from the gods, she suddenly felt her finger being held by someone. The queen came back to her senses instantly and at the same time subconsciously retracted her finger.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, but the soft color on his face remained the same, and his voice became more affectionate, "Jiang'er, I have never thought of hurting you, even Xiu'er, although he is not my biological child, but I never wanted to take his life."

At this moment, there is no emperor who rules the world, and no queen who dominates the six palaces. There is only a man and his beloved girl who have been dreaming for many years.

Over the years, there have been many rumors in the palace. Some said that the emperor loved Concubine Shu, some said that the emperor loved Concubine Shu, and some said that the emperor's favorite was Lan Meiren. However, only a few people knew that the emperor's heart was full of love from the beginning to the end. There is only the queen of the middle palace who only goes there twice a month.

The emperor loved the queen, but he never stayed for a moment longer, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew that the person in the queen's heart was never him.

So instead of letting her feel uncomfortable in front of him, the emperor preferred to let her feel more comfortable in the palace alone.

As for Chu Lingxiu, non-royal blood naturally cannot inherit the throne, but the emperor can still afford it.

Listening to the emperor's heartfelt words, the queen subconsciously tightened the handle of the spoon in her hand. She seemed to have gone the wrong way...

Seeing that the queen's face turned pale, the emperor grabbed her hand again. This time, the queen did not move away, but her brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Jiang'er, I can promise you that as long as Xiu'er does not enter the palace tonight, I will allow him a way out."

The queen froze, the emperor knew their plan...

Thinking of the news she had just spread, the queen felt cold again. She tried to save the situation by looking for an excuse, "Your Majesty, I still have something to do in the palace, so please let Concubine Xie and the fifth prince come in to accompany you."

After saying that, he wanted to pull his fingers away from the emperor's hand, but was held tightly by the emperor. The latter's eyes were full of emotions, and finally turned into calm, "I feel that my time is running out, so the queen will stay with me for a while longer." Well, there’s no harm in dealing with matters in the palace tomorrow.”

After the emperor finished speaking, the queen heard dense but orderly footsteps coming from outside the palace. They disappeared after a while, but the atmosphere in the palace became a little more depressing.

It is true that the emperor loved the queen deeply, but at the same time as this deep love, the emperor also clearly remembered his other identity - the emperor of Da Chu and the heaven of the people.

He could allow the queen to confuse the emperor's heirs and murder the palace concubines, but he could not tolerate her helping outsiders to seize the country of Chu.

…

Pingxihou Mansion.

For some reason, Qi Lie felt a little restless today, as if something big was about to happen.

Pingxihou's wife Tan walked in from the door, holding a cup of ginseng soup in her hand. She walked to Qi Lie and said warmly: "Master Hou, drink some soup. I think your dinner is almost useless. I'm afraid it's already gone now." Hungry."

Hearing Tan's caring voice, Qi Lie felt a little warmth in his brows. He took the soup cup in Tan's hand and drank half of it, then put the soup cup to one side, frowned slightly and said, "Ame, My right eye keeps twitching today and I feel very uneasy.”

Tan held Qi Lie's hand, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and her voice was as soft as the spring breeze, "The Marquis just thinks too much. I know that Your Majesty is unconscious and the Marquis is worried, but Your Majesty is the emperor, and there are The true dragon’s energy will protect you, and you’ll be fine in a few days.”

Hearing what Tan said, Qi Lie suddenly felt that he might be too nervous. However, the next moment he felt dizzy and took two steps back uncontrollably.

Tan quickly helped Qi Lie, preventing him from falling to the ground.

Just as Qi Lie was about to speak, he heard Tan's voice sounding ahead of him: "The Marquis is brave, and there are 200,000 Qi family troops under his command. The master has already issued a killing order to the Marquis, but after all, Amai has been with the Marquis for twenty years." , I can’t bear it.”

Qi Lie had something ready to come out in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe that the person beside him who had been sleeping with him for twenty years would harm him, "Amai, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Tan laid Qi Lie flat on the small platform beside her, and her voice was as gentle as ever, "Master Marquis, you just need to sleep for a while. After tomorrow, we will be an ordinary couple, traveling to the end of the world, and living happily for the rest of our lives. "

Qi Lie was still thinking about asking something, but he felt that his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Mrs. Tan covered Qi Lie with a quilt, then turned and left. When leaving, she did not forget to close the door.

After taking care of Qi Lie, Tan went straight to Qi Yichuan's yard. After doing the same thing, the father and son were completely knocked out.

After letting her confidants take good notice of the two of them, Mrs. Tan walked out of Pingxihou Mansion in the thick of night.

The weather in Shengjing is about to change, and the palace also needs her to help fight the enemy.

Tan left in a hurry and didn't notice the little tail following in the corner.

Seeing Tan leave quickly, Qi Suining leaned out from the corner, with a puzzled look on her face, muttering to herself: "Why did mother go out so late? She didn't even bring a guard. Could she be going to do something shameful?"

Thinking of a possibility, Qi Suining's face immediately sank-

No, she couldn't watch her mother go to a road of no return, she had to stop her!

After making a decision, Qi Suining hurriedly chased in the direction where Tan left.

After Tan and Qi Suining left Pingxi Marquis Mansion, Fu Yi, who had been watching in secret for a long time, first said a few words to the secret guards beside her, and then went straight to where Qi Lie was.

When Tan asked his confidant to cook soup, Fu Yi sneaked in to see it. It was just a strengthened version of the drug and a drug that would make people lose their internal strength. It was not fatal, so Fu Yi did not rashly alert the enemy, but waited until Tan took action before coming out.

It took no effort to get rid of all the people left by Tan, and Fu Yi pushed the door open.

I heard Qi Lie breathing evenly on the small couch, sleeping soundly.

He took out his special detoxification pill from his arms and stuffed it directly into Qi Lie's mouth. In order to make the drug work faster, Fu Yi cut Qi Lie's arm with the dagger in his arms.

Time was running out, Fu Yi did not dare to delay for a moment, put away the dagger, gave the secret guard a detoxification pill and asked him to save Qi Yichuan, and then carried Qi Lie directly to prepare to detoxify while on the road.

At this time, Shengjing City was still quiet. Fu Yi carried Qi Lie through the hidden streets and alleys, and finally stopped somewhere in front of the city wall.

Li Yu had been waiting here for a long time.

In terms of Qinggong, Fu Yi was still a little behind. It was not a problem for her to cross the city wall by herself, but it was a bit difficult to carry Qi Lie.

Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward and took Qi Lie from Fu Yi's shoulders. Fu Yi said to him solemnly: "Pingxi Hou is in your hands. In an hour, I will lead Qi Yichuan to occupy the city gate and let you in."

Li Yu nodded, then carried Qi Lie into the air, and disappeared in the thick night in the blink of an eye.

Fu Yi turned around and flew towards Pingxi Hou Mansion again.
