Lady Jiao
Chapter 23:
Shu Ningyu returned to the East Palace very late, and the next day, she was still asleep when a maid who was close to her came in unexpectedly: "Your Highness, it's not good, His Majesty suddenly gasped, I'm afraid it's going to be bad, dozens of The ministers have already passed, so you should go too quickly."
Shu Ningyu suddenly opened her eyes: "What? Where's General Su?"
The maid said: "Someone has already invited General Su."
The maid fetched water for Shu Ningyu to wash, and took clothes for her to put on. Shu Ningyu wears a sword all the year round, and the sword at her waist was a gift from Su Zhou. After putting it on, she hurried into the chariot.
When they arrived at the palace where the emperor lived, dozens of ministers were outside, whispering something, and when they saw Shu Ningyu passing by, they hurriedly saluted and called out "His Royal Highness".
A **** said: "Your Highness is getting better now, you adults should go back first."
Just as he was talking, Su Zhou also arrived.
Su Zhou was still dressed in white, with white cranes embroidered with silver thread on his clothes, his brilliance was faint, he walked over, the **** said: "The empress and concubine are inside, and King Rong is also there, do you want to go in and have a look, Your Highness and General Su?"
Shu Ningyu nodded: "Go ahead."
The **** stepped forward and untied the swords on Shu Ningyu and Su Zhou's waists: "You two are full of evil spirits, Your Majesty is weak, and you can no longer see swords and swords—please come in."
Shu Ningyu walked in, followed by Su Zhou.
Both the queen and the imperial concubine were dressed gorgeously and stood aside to serve. Emperor Jingwen was lying on the bed with a gray face, Shu Ningyu and Su Zhou both knelt down and saluted.
Emperor Jingwen said weakly: "Ningyu, you and Nanzhu come here."
Shu Ningyu and Shu Nanzhu looked at each other, and they both went forward.
Immediately afterwards, Shu Ningyu's wrist was grabbed by Emperor Jingwen, and he said: "My time limit is approaching, I can't survive today, Ningyu, I always value you, you can leave with me, okay?"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Shu Ningyu and Su Zhou suddenly changed.
She broke free immediately, and before she got up, the sword in Shu Nanzhu's hand lay across her neck.
Concubine Shen said quickly: "Come here, the crown prince is disrespectful to His Majesty and wants to murder His Majesty."
The soldiers hidden behind the curtain rushed out instantly.
Only then did Shu Ningyu and Su Zhou realize that they had fallen into a trap.
The queen on the side didn't expect this to happen either, she turned pale, thinking that the matter had been exposed, she pointed at Su Zhou and Shu Ningyu: "Your Majesty, it is... they lied to you and didn't do anything about concubines."
Su Zhou's eyes darkened.
In fact, he had long looked down on the empress, the daughter of the Su family, but the concubine Shen Gui, who came from a humble background, was more able to win people's hearts. Over the years, the queen has always resented Shu Ningyu for being a daughter. On the surface, she dotes on her a lot, but in private she has always treated her coldly.
Concubine Shen is like a victorious peacock. Although she doesn't understand what the empress means, she is refreshed in her heart: "Empress, you and Your Majesty are deeply in love with each other, so go with Your Majesty now."
The queen's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she pointed at Shu Ningyu: "It's all about you, it's all about you..."
Before the words finished, Su Zhou jumped over and grabbed the queen's neck. The queen's face was ashen, and she couldn't say anything for a moment.
Su Zhou sneered and said, "You ungrateful bitch, extremely stupid! If it weren't for her, you would have lived eighteen years longer? You would have died in the cold palace long ago!"
A **** stepped forward tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is your medicine."
Emperor Jing Wen loved the prince on the surface these years, but in his heart he preferred Shu Nanzhu more.
The empress is selfish and cold. Emperor Jingwen never loved her. What he loved was Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen came from a low family background and had no powerful relatives. Shu Nanzhu was also smart and capable.
On the other hand, the prince, not only has a close relationship with the Yuan family, but also has a close relationship with the Su family. The Su family holds the military power, which has long been a serious concern for Emperor Jingwen. How can he let the prince take over.
Emperor Jingwen said: "Put it aside first."
Shu Nanzhu restrained Shu Ningyu, and said coldly: "Pour it in."
For a moment, Emperor Jingwen could hardly believe his ears.
The **** only listened to Shu Nanzhu's words, and poured it into Emperor Jing Wen. Before he finished drinking the medicine, he was already out of breath.
Shu Ningyu's martial arts were already superior to Shu Nanzhu's, and Su Zhou was even able to defeat a hundred with one, but unfortunately, both of their weapons were taken away before they entered.
Shu Nanzhu said coldly: "The medicine you gave His Majesty is poisonous, Prince, tell me, what should you do?"
Human beings have been treated as fish on the chopping board, so they are naturally charged with whatever crimes others place.
Shu Ningyu looked at Su Zhou who was at the side.
The soldiers all knew that Su Zhou was powerful in force, so they didn't dare to go forward without orders.
She said: "Cousin, don't worry about me, you leave first."
Although Su Zhou had no weapons, it was not impossible for him to escape.
Shu Nanzhu's hand tightened, and thin blood flowed from Shu Ningyu's snow-white neck.
He hooked his lips and smiled: "You guys are really brothers."
Shu Nanzhu knew Shu Ningyu's identity, and when he mentioned the word "brother", he deliberately emphasized his tone, as if he was being sarcastic.
Su Zhou's moves were like lightning, and with just a flash of his figure, he snatched a soldier's sword, but in a split second, he held Shen Guifei, who was triumphant beside him, in his hand.
The room is so big, Concubine Shen knows that Su Zhou's kung fu is good, but she doesn't know that his kung fu is so good.
Su Zhou said, "One person for one person."
Concubine Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale: "The emperor..."
Shu Nanzhu narrowed his eyes.
Shu Nanzhu gritted his teeth: "Come here!"
The two exchanged hostages, Su Zhou pushed Shen Guifei to Shu Nanzhu, Shu Nanzhu pushed Shu Ningyu to him, when Su Zhou went to pick up Shu Ningyu, Shu Nanzhu did not pick up Shen Guifei, but let Shen Guifei was pushed to the ground.
Shu Nanzhu raised his sword and stabbed at Shu Ningyu's back.
Su Zhou's complexion changed, his figures staggered, and he received the sword for Shu Ningyu.
With a puff, blood was dripping, and his white clothes were already stained with blood.
Su Zhou put the weapon in Shu Ningyu's hand: "I taught you how to use a knife before, Ah Ning."
Shu Ningyu embraced Su Zhou with one arm: "I'll take you out, cousin."
Su Zhou suffered a sword blow to his back, and he was injured here, and he couldn't exert any more strength.
Shu Nanzhu sneered and made a gesture.
The soldiers rushed up, Shu Ningyu raised the knife and dropped it, and then took another knife and stuffed it into Su Zhou's hand.
The sky was full of blood, and Shu Ningyu thought of the heavy palace gates and high palace walls in her memory, all the unpleasantness, and also the young man in white who took her hand and taught her to shake it.
The heaviness of the past has now become a luxury.
She was killing people, and Su Zhou was protecting her.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shu Nanzhu's beautiful eyebrows: "Do you know how many people you have to kill if you want to rush out of the palace gates?"
"Eight hundred people." Shu Nanzhu said, "A Ning, you can't escape with your wings."
Unfortunately, Shu Ningyu did not hear his voice during the fight.
The subordinates sent the bow and arrow, Shu Nanzhu casually nocked the arrow.
Su Zhou was covered in blood, and his white clothes had long been the same color as Shu Ningyu's.
Shu Ningyu was filled with remorse, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Shu Nanzhu shot out an arrow, which hit Su Zhou on the shoulder.
He said: "Ah Ning, let me go, I can't go, you can go alone now."
Shu Ningyu cried until her eyes were red, and she brandished a knife to protect the two of them: "Cousin, I'm sorry for you, I caught King Rong back then, but I didn't kill him. It's all changed, it's my wife's benevolence, I treat them as relatives, I can't do this..."
But in the end, her only relative was Su Zhou.
Su Zhou was silent for a while, and said, "I know everything."
Shu Ningyu was stunned.
"You were so squeamish when you were young, you didn't even want to step on ants, but when you grew up, I forced you to kill people." Su Zhou's peach blossom eyes were still gentle, but they were bloodshot, "I ruined your life, you It's a little girl, she shouldn't be holding a sword."
It was another arrow, but this time, Shu Nanzhu's target was Shu Ningyu.
He clearly knew that Su Zhou would use his heart to block the shot at Shu Ningyu's shoulder.
In fact, Su Zhou still has a lot to say. If he said implicitly, "There are trees in the mountains, there are branches in the trees", I don't know if it would scare her. Su Zhou knew clearly that he was wrong, and he shouldn't be tempted to spoil the image of her cousin in her heart.
Su Zhou said, "Ah Ning, you must always remember your cousin."
Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, and Shu Ningyu was so frightened that he lost his mind. She thought about the death of many people, but she never thought that Su Zhou would die too.
