Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

"emperor..."

She opened her eyes in a daze, and there was no one beside the soft couch, only an empty space.

"A Jian..." She shouted again, the inner hall was still as quiet as water, but outside, there was a lot of noise, through the curtain, she could see the faint light of the fire coming in from outside, as well as shaking figures.

There was silence for her alone.

Struggling, she lifted off the quilt, climbed out of the soft couch, wrapped her outer shirt, and slowly walked out along the blanket on the bottom of her feet.

She touched the doorknob with both hands, and she wanted to open the door, but found that it was locked outside. She pulled it hard, but it didn't move.

The sounds of fighting outside became louder, and there were screams, filling Yu Qiqi's eardrums, waves of panic welled up in her heart, and a layer of cold sweat broke out from the hand holding the doorknob.

She hurriedly walked away from the doorknob, ran back to the table, picked up the candle on the table, when the candlelight shone on the screen window, a streak of blood spilled on the screen window, staining Yu Qiqi's eyes red.

"A Jian, A Jian!" At this time, the first person she yelled out was A Jian, the one who was always guarding her with a long sword, and he disappeared at this time.

She ran to the window, and the window was also sealed, no matter how hard she pulled it, she couldn't open it.There was a layer of sweat on her forehead, and she wanted to find something that could break open the door, but it seemed that all the things that could be broken in the hall had been put away deliberately, and there was nothing that could be broken.

Lowering her head, staring at the candlelight in her hand, she tore off the tablecloth from the table, pulled it to the door, and threw the candlestick in her hand onto the tablecloth, and suddenly a ball of fire was born, and the fire surged upwards, burning the tightly locked door. Door.

She took a few steps back, staring closely at the flames that kept shooting up in front of her eyes.The heart rose and fell violently, and the fingers were tightly embedded in the palm.

At that time, Nangong Yan had joined Shen Feihong and was attacking the weakly defended Nanzhao Imperial City. The whole imperial city was filled with hissing and screaming.

Soon, they attacked the palace, but King Yishui and the princes didn't notice anything.

When the guards at the gate of the palace ran to the side of the winged water king's dragon couch, they had already entered the palace.

Yu Zhengxin and several princes rushed out from the palace gate protecting King Yishui and Queen Nanzhao, and the group was besieged outside the court hall.

Chu Peiyu followed behind Nangongyan, Yu Qiqi's bedroom was locked by him, A Jian had already been knocked out by him, and she was locked in her side hall.

When Ah Jian woke up.She saw the flames surging outside, and she heard the shocking sound of horseshoes and swords fighting.

"Princess! Princess!"

What she blurted out was that she had always protected Yu Qiqi by her side since childhood.

The door couldn't be opened, so she condensed her palms together, gave a slap, and ran out from the opened door. The outside was already in chaos, and there were fleeing court ladies and eunuchs everywhere.

She grabbed a little maid running past in front of her and shouted, "Where's the princess?!"

The little maid's face was terrified, she just shook her head desperately, all she had to do was let go and run towards her bedroom.

At that time, Yu Qiqi's palace door had already been burned by fire, and the moment the palace door fell, she rushed out immediately.The smoke stained her face, leaving her face covered in soot.

After coughing a few times, she clutched her heart tightly and ran out along the long corridor. On the way, she encountered many corpses lying on the ground, as well as palace people fleeing back and forth.

Suddenly, from a distance, she saw people who raised their knives and swung to kill her people. They were wearing the military uniforms of Yanjing soldiers, and the knives in their hands did not hesitate for a moment. They killed Nanzhao people when they saw them.

"Nangongyan, Nangongyan..." She stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with scarlet, she murmured, her heart throbbing with pain.

"Princess, run!"

Suddenly, a little eunuch pushed her from behind, she turned her head, and hot blood splashed on her face, causing her to close her eyes suddenly, and after that, there was a pungent smell of blood.

The little eunuch fell into a pool of blood, and standing in front of her was a Yanjing soldier with a knife in his hand.Seeing the watery and charming Yu Qiqi in front of him, the soldier became lustful, even his eyes were full of profanity, he stepped up, wanted to go up to grab her, but couldn't move, he looked down, The little eunuch's hand was still tightly clutching his military uniform.

Violence appeared on his face, and the knife in his hand stabbed him again, Yu Qiqi's body shook violently, she glanced behind her, picked up the sword on the ground, before he stood up straight, her hand Li's sword pierced directly into his heart without leaving an inch.

The soldier lowered his head and looked at the blood dripping from the blade. She withdrew the sword in her hand and ran forward holding the long sword.

The more they ran outside, the louder the fighting sound became.

Along the way, the sword in her hand was stained with the blood of countless people. The clothes on her body were stained with blood, and it was still on her face and neck.

A pair of eyes, already bloodshot.

A Jian did not find her in Yu Qiqi's bedroom, so she hurried to the outside of the bedroom. Outside the court hall, she saw Nangong Yan and Chu Peiyu who were surrounded by King Yishui and Queen Nanzhao. .

She grasped the sword in her hand, rushed forward, and beheaded the soldiers who surrounded them.

"Ah..."

Chu Peiyu stood outside, looking at A Jian who rushed out suddenly, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't call out that name after all.

A Jian glared at him fiercely, the anger on her face was clearly visible, the sword in her hand didn't stop, she kept slashing forward, she rushed into the siege, stood with King Yishui and Queen Nanzhao, helping several The prince resisted.

"Ah Jian, where's Ah Qi?"

Empress Nanzhao asked anxiously while holding her hand.

"Your Majesty, the servant did not find the princess, so she must have rushed out too." A Jian's words choked up, and she hurriedly turned around to answer her.

"There are Ting'er and the others here, you escape when you find the opportunity, find the princess, and take her away from Nanzhao!" Although the queen of Nanzhao is over half a hundred years old, she is holding a sword in her hand at this moment, she was originally from the general's mansion , this skill is still there.

"Slave understands!"

At this moment, such a situation does not allow them to think too much. Hearing what Queen Nanzhao said, A Jian nodded vigorously.

There was no emotion in Nangong Yan's eyes, and he only ordered the soldiers who surrounded them to fight quickly.Chu Peiyu also attacked, looking at the guards who kept falling in front of him, A Jian stared at him and shouted, "Chu Peiyu!"

The bickering and squabbling in the past passed before the two of them. Chu Peiyu held the sword hand and paused for a moment. Behind him, Nangong Yan yelled, "Attack!"

His hands tightened, and he continued to attack forward.

At that moment, Ah Jian deeply realized what heartache is. Two lines of tears flowed down from her pair of sharp and unparalleled eyes. The sword in his hand was instantly stained with a large amount of bright red blood.

When Yu Qiqi appeared in front of them, her hair was disheveled, her eyes did not have the agility of the past, only a bloodthirsty scarlet, and there were bloodstains on her body that had been swung all the way.

"Seven seven?"

Nangong Yan frowned, he didn't expect her to rush over like this, obviously he asked Chu Peiyu to arrange everything.

Yu Qiqi stood in front of him, panting, even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, several of her brothers had already fallen into a pool of blood.Only Yu Zhengting and A Jian protect King Yishui and Empress Nanzhao.

"Father, mother, my daughter is not filial!"

Holding the sword in her hand, she knelt down towards them, her choked throat was burning hot, and hot tears flowed down her cheeks covered with soot and blood.

"Seventh!"

King Yishui and Empress Nanzhao cried out at the same time.

"It was Ah Qi who led the wolf into the house, mistrusted the thief's words, and refused to listen to the consolation of the two elder brothers, which led to today's catastrophe. Ah Qi, Ah Qi, I am sorry for you and the brothers, and for the people of Nanzhao!" Her shoulders were violent Shaking, tears fell down and seeped into her tattered clothes.

The eyes of King Yishui and Queen Nanzhao were also covered with tears. At this moment, the sky over Nanzhao was reddened by the light of the fire.Under the light of the fire all over the sky, the corpses of the Nanzhao clansmen lay all over the place.

"Get up, even if it's like this, we can't lose the character of our Nanzhao people!" King Yishui swallowed the bitterness in his throat, and reprimanded her.

She sniffed the tip of her nose, wiped away the tears on her face, and stood up from the ground. The sword in her hand ran across a lock of long hair in her hand, "Nangong Yan, from now on, I, Yu Qiqi, are at odds with you!" She let go hand, the long hair in his hand fell to the ground, hurting Nangong Yan's eyes.

All those caring affections in the past, in the face of national hatred and family feud, all vanished into thin air!

The long hair fell, the sword raised, and the sword in her hand stabbed at him fiercely. He stood up on the spot with a heavy face, but remained motionless.

Chu Peiyu yelled, "Your Majesty!"

Then he rushed over to block Yu Qiqi's stabbing sword, and the long sword pierced his body, making his face instantly pale.

Yu Qiqi frowned, but there was no emotion in her eyes.

"Chu Peiyu..."

Nangong Yan clasped Chu Peiyu's arm to prevent him from falling down.

"Quick, take the princess away!"

At this moment, taking advantage of Nangong Yan's distraction, King Yishui retreated from A Jian and called out to her.

She retracted her gaze.He ran to Yu Qiqi's side, took her hand and pulled her out, Yu Zhengting and King Yishui covered them both.

Nangong Yan raised his head, looked at the figure that was gradually moving away from him, his heart tightened, he put Chu Peiyu to the side guards, and chased after him himself.

Yu Zhengting ran up to him and blocked his way.

"You can't stop me!" With a cold face, he struck with his palm quickly, and Yu Zhengting was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Even with my last breath, I will stop it." Soon, he held the sword and moved it in front of him little by little.

Nangong Yan's patience was exhausted by him. In an instant, the palm of his hand fell on his head, and he knelt down, with terrible blood flowing from his head.

"Ting'er!" Yishui King and Nanzhao Queen yelled, and they were about to run towards him, but they were both stabbed by a spear behind them, and they also fell down.

A Jian led Yu Qiqi all the way to the outside of the palace, the scene was chaotic on the road, a large number of Yanjing soldiers and Nanzhao soldiers fought, no one noticed them two.

Suddenly, a figure ran towards them, "Seventh Sister, A Jian!" It was Yan Shiqing who was chasing all the way.

"Brother Qing..."

Yu Qiqi's eyes moved slightly, and a gleam of light appeared on her flustered and lifeless face.

"Master, hurry up and take the princess away!" A Jian stared at him.gasped and said.

"You guys come with me!"

He glanced forward at the burning palace, and led the two of them into the alley, hiding the attention of Yanjing soldiers on the street, and fled along the dark alley.

When Yanjing's soldiers rushed into Nanzhao, he brought Yan Churan and Du Wanrong out of Yan Wang's mansion, but he was still worried about the situation in the palace, so he walked quietly into the palace regardless of Lin Chaoge's obstruction .

At this time, their carriage was still outside Nanzhao City, Yan Shiqing took Yu Qiqi and A Jian into the carriage, and the group fled from Nanzhao.

Nangong Yan kept chasing outside, but she didn't see Yu Qiqi, and A Jian was also missing. If there was no one to respond, they would not have been able to escape so quickly.

Suddenly, he thought of Yan Shiqing who was also in Nanzhao Imperial City.Seeing the fierce horse parked beside him, he turned over and went to Prince Yan's mansion, but there was no one there.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, the anger on Yu Qiqi's face had not completely faded, and the clothes on her body were not adjusted, so she just sat there blankly.

What flashed before her eyes was everything she saw in the palace.

Lin Chaoge took a set of clean clothes and handed them to A Jian, asking her to change them for Yu Qiqi. Her clothes were stained with blood, and the whole carriage could smell blood.

A Jian took the clothes, walked up to her and said softly, "Princess, A Jian will help you change the clothes on your body." As soon as her hands touched Yu Qiqi's body, she scolded her, "Don't touch me !"

Lin Chaoge met.Hastily pulled A Jian aside, "Perhaps her mood hasn't calmed down yet, let's change it for her later."

After that, she poured a cup of tea for Yu Qiqi.

After hearing this, Ah Jian had no choice but to nod.

She put down her clothes and retreated outside the curtain.

They had two carriages, the one in front was driven by Qing Yu, and the one behind was driven by Yan Shiqing, "Master, where are you going?"

Ah Jian asked him a question.

"I have discussed with Ge'er to go to Huizhou." His voice filled the dark night.

"good."

A Jian replied softly, now they can only go to Huizhou first, and then make plans later.

"I never thought that Nangong Yan would do such a thing." After a while, Yan Shiqing spoke slowly.

"The princess trusts him in every possible way. Now it seems that everything he did was not for the princess, but to use the princess to capture Nanzhao."

A Jian said coldly, with endless sarcasm in his words.

"He is so ambitious, I have pity on Seventh Sister." Yan Shiqing sighed, no more words, just concentrated on driving the carriage in his hand, trying to send them to Huizhou as soon as possible.

It wasn't until noon on the second day that the sounds of fighting in the Nanzhao Imperial City slowly subsided, many places had been reduced to ruins, and the city gates and streets were covered with the blood of Nanzhao people.

Shen Feihong and Gu Xia who came behind cleaned up the corpses and ruins in the city. Chu Peiyu was seriously injured and had to be placed in the palace first. Nangong Yan sent someone to arrest a Nanzhao imperial physician to treat him.

He was sitting on the dragon chair that King Yishui once made, and the rising sun had already filled the entire empty palace, but he was sitting on the dragon chair, and there was no warmth at all, only endless coldness.

"Nangong Yan, from now on, I, Yu Qiqi, will be at odds with you!" The words Yu Qiqi yelled last night kept rolling back and forth in his mind, making him feel suffocated.

She hated him and could never forgive him.

He sat on the dragon chair, still smiling wryly, and there was no one around him.

After Shen Feihong threw the matter in the city to Gu Xia, he walked back to the palace and searched for a long time before finding Nangong Yan, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

He stepped forward and asked him softly, a burst of light came in from the opened temple door behind him, with a dazzling light.

"Take people to chase in the direction of Huizhou, and see if they are running in that direction." Nangong Yan didn't answer him, but lowered his head and said slowly.

"You want to kill them all?"

Shen Feihong stood firmly in front of him, not understanding why he was so heartless.In the past, when Emperor Yan Jing dealt with the Shen family so ruthlessly, he held a grudge in his heart, but now seeing Nangong Yan become like him, he felt very uncomfortable.

"If you're in Huizhou, you must leave someone alive." He raised his head, his face was tired, and he didn't feel the pleasure of conquering Nanzhao.

"Forget it, let them go." Shen Feihong looked complicated, and pleaded for them.

He clearly knows.When he made this decision, it was impossible for Yu Qiqi to stay by his side willingly, so why should he be so persistent.

"You don't even listen to what I say?" He stared at Shen Feihong in front of him, with a bit of majesty in his voice.

"Why are you doing this?" He still asked this sentence.

"If you're used to being alone with you, you won't be able to let her go with others." He said quietly, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

He was used to Yu Qiqi staying by his side, and at this moment he would never allow Yan Shiqing to run away with her, even if she hated him, he would tie her up by his side.

"But she will leave, you caused it yourself!" Shen Feihong reprimanded him seeing his eclipsed look.

Nangong Yan looked at him coldly, probably because he didn't expect him to be so angry at himself. He smiled, with a cool smile, "For the stability of Yanjing, I have to do this."

Seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, Shen Feihong couldn't see the expression on his face, "But Yanjing just captured Xichu, I don't understand why they want to attack Nanzhao at this moment?"

"Do you think that the hands and feet of the King of West Chu and the Emperor of West Chu are unclean, but Nanzhao's hands and feet are clean?" He narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face faded, only a coldness.

"What do you mean?" Shen Feihong didn't understand what he meant.

"I don't need to explain this to you, you just need to keep an eye on their tracks." Nangong Yan stood up, turned his back to him, and walked outside the palace.

Shen Feihong stood at the same place and watched his leaving back, only faintly felt that something was not what he saw, so he lowered his brows and walked out, when the door of the palace closed, there was a heavy knocking sound.

During the whole night of the journey, Yu Qiqi didn't fall asleep. She just hugged her knees and sat motionless. She didn't take a sip of the tea that Lin Chaoge poured down for her.

After the carriage stopped outside Lin's residence, A Jian walked in and helped her off the carriage. Yan Shiqing looked at her devastated look, and a burst of distress welled up in his eyes.

This time, Nangong Yan really hurt her deeply.

If he stood in front of them now, he would definitely not let him go.

Lin Chaoge and Su Xin walked up the steps first, knocked on the door, and after a while.A young man walked to the door and opened the door. When he saw Lin Chaoge, a flash of joy flashed in the young man's eyes, "Miss is back!"

"Grandfather and elder brother are all okay?" She nodded slightly, and then asked him about the status of Lord Lin and Lin Chaofu.

"Both the old Hou and the young master are well." The servant hurriedly replied.

Afterwards, he saw several people standing behind her.He hastily opened the door of the house and stood aside, "You go into the house first."

"Father, mother, come in." Lin Chaoge turned his head and said to Yan Churan and Du Wanrong who were behind him. Concubine Yi also supported Wu Lian and followed them in.

"Seventh sister, let's go."

Yan Shiqing asked Ah Jian to help Yu Qiqi go in. He took a look at the situation outside before going in and asked the servant to close the door of the house.

Once inside, Lin Chaofu watched the group of them walk in with a dazed expression on his face. Huizhou is a small place with little news, so he had no idea what happened to Nanzhao at all.

"What's going on?" He pulled Lin Chaoge aside and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, it's a long story. Has Grandpa stopped?" She frowned.

"Just took a break."

Lin Chaofu glanced at the people in the main hall again before returning to her.

"I want to settle down with my father and mother first, and later, I will go with my husband to explain clearly to you, and take a look at grandpa by the way."

A whole room of people were still sitting in the main hall, Lin Chaoge couldn't leave them behind.

"Well, go get busy." Lin Chaofu nodded and asked her to help.

She frowned slightly before entering the main hall.Together with Yan Shiqing, she took them down to resettle them.

After everything was arranged, she pulled Yan Shiqing aside, "Do you want to invite a grand husband to come over and show Seventh Princess?"

Yu Qiqi hasn't said a word since he got in the carriage.

Yan Shiqing looked at Yu Qiqi who was sitting numbly on the brocade bench, and shook his head, "No need, she didn't suffer any injuries, I'm afraid she just wants to be alone at the moment, we invite the husband over, she may not be willing to see ."

Lin Chaoge recalled the scene of Ah Jian going to change her clothes, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Princess, drink some water first." Ah Jian stepped forward, holding the water glass in her hand. It was fine for her not to speak, but she didn't even drink a sip of water.

"A Jian, tell me that all this is fake, right? My parents and brothers are all fine in Nanzhao, right?"

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at A Jian in a daze, her eyes were dull, but with a hint of longing.

A Jian sniffled the tip of her nose and swallowed the pain in her throat, "Princess, drink the water first, and A Jian will tell you after drinking the water." She moved the hand holding the water glass forward an inch.

Yu Qiqi lowered her head, looked at the ripples in the water glass, picked it up, and drank it with her head up.Then, those earnest eyes fell on her face again.

"The emperor, the empress, and several princes have all died in the palace, but you are the seventh princess of Nanzhao, you must not go down like this. The blood flowing in your body is the blood of the Nanzhao royal family!"

After Ah Jian finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were already moist.

"It turned out to be true. The pictures I saw were all real, not fake, let alone dreaming..." She frowned and muttered to herself.

The face of that person flashed before her eyes, and anger appeared in her eyes, "It's Nangong Yan, it's all Nangong Yan's fault!"

She clutched the clothes on her knees tightly, trembling with anger, and her cheeks were flushed from the pent-up breath.

At this moment, she realized that he had no heart.

It was he who killed their child, and he tried every means to break through her inner defense.That day in the hall, she chose to believe in him instead of her father and elder brother, she deserved death, she deserved death!

Her hands beat her knees back and forth.

"Princess, you can't blame yourself, you must not blame yourself, otherwise the empress and the others will be so sad..."

A Jian held her hand to prevent her from beating herself again.

After a long time, Yu Qiqi's mood stabilized. A Jian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, helped her change her clothes, and waited for her to lie down.

Although she hadn't slept all night and her illness hadn't healed yet, but not long after she fell asleep, she had several nightmares again and again, and those nightmares made her wake up from the bed again and again.

A Jian prepared a basin and a sweat towel for her, and helped her wipe off the many beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing that Yu Qiqi and Yan Churan had settled down, Lin Chaoge and Yan Shiqing went to look for Lin Chaofu together. At that time, Old Lord Lin had already woken up from his lunch break.

"Ge'er, what difficulties did you encounter in Nanzhao?" The old Hou Ye's body is quite strong, which shows that Lin Chaofu took good care of him.

"Grandfather, Nangong Yan not only recovered Western Chu, but also attacked Nanzhao. Now the whole Nanzhao is occupied by soldiers from Yanjing. We have no choice but to flee back to Huizhou first, and then make plans later."

Lin Chaoge stepped forward and shook his hand.

"Nangongyan?" Lin Laohou's eyes flickered for a moment of astonishment. He remembered Nangongyan who confronted him in front of the courtiers in Yanjing. At that time, he was only the prince of Yanjing. Now, Xiaxi Chu and Nanzhao have been recovered.

"Exactly."

Lin Chaoge nodded.

"But I heard that you brought his queen here, will you get angry?" After all, Yu Qiqi is someone close to Nangong Yan. If he doesn't want to let Yu Qiqi go, they will always be by his side. would be dangerous.

"Now there is only the Seventh Princess left in the Nanzhao royal family. We can't let her stay in Nanzhao alone and die." Lin Chaoge glanced at Yan Shiqing, and said firmly to Lord Lin Laohou.

Now that they had made up their minds, it was inconvenient for him to say anything more.

As soon as Lin Chaoge and Yan Shiqing came out from Old Master Lin, they saw A Jian running out of the east wing in a panic, which was the courtyard where Yu Qiqi lived.

As soon as she saw Yan Shiqing, Ah Jian hurried up and said with a disturbed expression, "My lord, the princess is gone!"

"Not seen? Why not?" When they left, her mood had obviously stabilized.

"As soon as the princess fell asleep, she would have nightmares again and again. The slaves just went to get a basin of water, and when they came back, she disappeared."

A Jian frowned, looking around anxiously.

"Is her stuff still there?" He wanted to make sure if she left by herself or something happened.

"It's all there."

She nodded hastily.

A trace of anxiety flashed across Yan Shiqing's brows, and a unease welled up in his heart.
