Traitor and Concubine Quan

Chapter 124 124

Cui Shengshou was standing outside the emperor's bedroom, his face was pale and unsightly.He straightened his waist and looked up at the moon in the sky. It had already passed from one end to the other, and it seemed that the sky was about to dawn.

Cui Sheng yawned, his eyes were blue and purple, and he hadn't slept well for several days.Hearing that it was a little quieter inside, Cui Sheng was slightly relieved.

"Bangdang-"

Suddenly there was a small sound, followed by a sharp scream.Cui Sheng slapped his head, thinking it was not good.The eunuchs and maids who were watching the night also looked exhausted, staring at Cui Sheng with drooping heads, waiting for his order to enter.

In the past few days, the bodies of several harem concubines have been dragged out. The cause of death is excessive blood loss. Either their hands and feet were cut off, their throats were poured with a sword, or their entire heads were cut off.The most pitiful thing is that half of the head is still hanging on the neck, and it is not broken, which is very horrifying.

When Cui Sheng led the people to bring out the corpse, he told the maid beside him, "Be careful, keep watching tonight, no one is allowed to sleep!"

The palace lady said, "Master Cui, why hasn't Mrs. Lin come back? This palace is in such a state of chaos. Hasn't Your Majesty invited Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts? Why are they still haunted? Like this every night, even if we can bear it, Your Majesty I can't stand it..."

Cui Sheng glanced at her, saw that she was still young, and said patiently, "We have already sent people to find the hiding place of the broken Taoist priest. Encountering ghosts every night, being frightened, costing many lives..."

"As for Mr. Lin, he hasn't heard from him since he went to sea. Now we can only pray that he can come back as soon as possible, so that someone can comfort His Majesty..."

In fact, there was news from Lin Pin that he had found the treasure on the island, but encountered some obstacles on the way back, and another killer came to assassinate him in an attempt to seize the treasure. I really don't know why these people would With such good information, wherever Lin Pin goes, there will be killers targeting him.

The latest news said that Lin Pin's boat sank, and now his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Cui Sheng was also very worried about Lin Pin's safety, and now he is completely on Lin Pin's side, as long as Lin Pin is safe, he can be safe too.If Lin Pin died, the world would be in chaos.

Why don't these people understand these simple truths?

After hearing Cui Sheng's words, the palace maid seemed to understand but half understood, she glanced anxiously towards the direction of the palace, and then said to Cui Sheng, "Chang Shi, do you still need to call any empress to attend the bed at night?"

Cui Sheng said, "Let's do less killing if you can. Do you think there is really no retribution in this world?"

He finally figured it out, maybe there is no ghost to haunt the emperor at all, the one who really haunts the emperor may be the devil in his heart, otherwise, how can outsiders be allowed in with such layers of palace bans and layers of guards?It's unbelievable!

Cui Sheng looked at the inner river of the palace with microwaves glowing in front of him, and couldn't understand it.

"Whoa-"

Cui Sheng stared at the bottom of the water. The inner river in the palace was specially built to prevent water leakage. Some places were on the ground, and some were underground, and several openings were opened in necessary places to fetch water.

Strictly speaking, this inland river does lead unimpeded from the outside to the emperor's bedroom. It is considered a secret passage, but no one can go all the way from the outside to the inside without taking a breath, because there are densely packed guard posts along the river. They are not vegetarians either, as long as they come up to take a breath, they will definitely be discovered!

As Cui Sheng stared, he seemed to see a vague shadow at the bottom of the water. The shadow flashed by very quickly. Before Cui Sheng wanted to see more clearly, it had already sunk into the bottom of the water, and then entered the The dark river disappeared into the ground, and Cui Sheng could no longer see it.

Cui Sheng rubbed his eyes, feeling cold all over his body.

Did he also have nightmares, or was it really a water ghost? !

The more Cui Sheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, his hands and feet felt cold.Now he can't care about the emperor anymore, he only wants to go back to rest early, if he continues to go crazy with the emperor like this, he is afraid that he will go crazy too.

So he told the little eunuch beside him, "Keep watching, if there is any movement, come to me immediately."

The little eunuch was also terrified, grabbed the corner of Cui Sheng's clothes and said, "Master Chang Shi, don't leave us behind."

Cui Sheng felt his head was getting bigger and bigger, he beat his head and said, "I can't go far, just find a chair in the side hall in front and sit down, if you need anything, just come to me."

The little eunuch wanted to say more, but he saw that Cui Sheng had already pulled out his own clothes violently.Then leave on your own.

The little eunuch and the maid who were left behind looked at each other, and there were a lot of maids and eunuchs beside them, all of them felt that they had lost their minds.

"I really don't know when Master Lin will be able to come back. Without him, no one will be able to calm down that one..."

Morning the next day.

The Jade King came late, and saw the emperor's throne was empty.The dragon carved on the throne stretched its teeth and danced its claws, majestic and majestic, it seemed to be staring at him all the time, and the dancing dragon claws seemed to beckon him to sit up and sit down.

Jade King is in a good mood now, although he still doesn't know who Bei Xi is, but his strategy is really outstanding, he miraculously stopped Lin Pin in the East China Sea and got the treasure.Although Lin Pin's life and death are uncertain now, he lost the treasure again, which can be regarded as a big fall.

But now he also has to worry about Bei Xi, because of this man's ingenious schemes, others gradually draw close to him and trust him.

If he gets the support of Shen Congqing from the Ministry of Rites, Julouhou, General Xiaoqi, or even Prince Sun, then not only will his position be in jeopardy, but he will most likely become a new powerful minister.

but--

The Jade King and his counselor Jin Shengxuan gradually guessed the identity of the Beixi.This person has called his own cronies in recent days, which is why he has clues to his identity.

No one would have thought that a missing royal relative, Uncle Guo, would appear in the tavern and become the North Seat of the tavern's conspiracy.

He may not appear in the court, but he has his own power. In order to avoid people's eyes and eyes and facilitate his actions, he simply pretended to be missing.

If he hadn't mobilized his cronies for chasing and killing Lin Pin, none of this would have been exposed so quickly.

The Jade King was arranging his court clothes, and standing opposite him was Dali Temple Minister Xie Dao, Xie Dao was a maverick, and he had not yet fallen to the north seat obviously.But I didn't have the ability to win him over in the shortest possible time.

Prince Sun was still talking with Julouhou in a low voice, as if he was talking about something innocuous.The son-in-law Zhang Chengyu doesn't care about court affairs at all, and now going to court is just a formality.

Under such a severe situation, the Jade King was thinking about what he should do to be able to ascend the Great Treasure.

Is it really only possible to join forces with Lin Pin?

However, Lin Pin should have already guessed that he had made trouble for him, and repeatedly slandered him, so would he still believe in him?Of course, all of this must be considered under the premise that he is not dead and can return safely.

"Your Majesty is here—" Cui Sheng stood in front and said loudly.

The Son of Heaven came out wearing a bright yellow robe inlaid with dragons, which symbolized the majesty of the royal family. He sat high on the throne, and glanced at the officials below leisurely in a gesture of catering to all living beings.

His face was still handsome, but his eyes became more and more gloomy, his body was slightly stooped, and his whole body was much haggard.

He leaned on the throne, supported his head with one hand, and rubbed the center of his brows with the other hand until he made a dark red mark between his brows.

Originally, an emperor like him should be presumptuous and not come to the court, but he is still the same, and the only sustenance is that he wants to use the court to pick faults and kill people, just to see which minister is not pleasing to the eye , he wanted to kill, and he took pleasure in it.

But today, he never punished anyone.

"My dear friends, I want to tell you a piece of good news. Lin Pin has returned, and he has returned with a treasure!" The emperor raised his head and laughed, patted the armrest of the throne, laughed for a long time, and then sternly said , "Call Lin Pin into the palace!"

The Jade King narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: This Lin Pin is really fateful, he fell into the sea but survived, and came back with the treasure? !But he came back with the treasure, so everything Bei Xi said was false?What kind of tricks is this country uncle playing? Could it be that he is deceiving us?

Lin Pin walked in calmly under the attention of everyone. Although she was a little darker, she still had a heroic spirit in her body.Lin Pin is really a good person in terms of skin, and he has always been like this.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life and brought back the treasures on the islands in the East China Sea!" Lin Pin knelt down and saluted, with a smile on his face.

The Son of Heaven said "Yes" three times, walked down from the throne towards Lin Pin, helped Lin Pin up, and said to her face to face, "Lin Qing has worked hard this trip, I heard that you were halfway Encountered a water bandit, is there such a thing?"

Lin Pin said, "It's true, that's why I took a little longer to come back to see His Majesty. Although those water bandits are brave, they have been designed by Weichen to take the boat, and now I'm afraid they have turned into a group of water ghosts." .”

"Hahaha!" The Son of Heaven patted Lin Pin on the shoulder and laughed, "Lin Qing is indeed the pillar of the country! I have many rewards! Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Lin Pin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the autumn hunting is about to begin. I just want a good bow from Your Majesty and a tent that is closest to His Majesty."

The author has something to say: the countdown to the end
