After Xie's mother was captured a few years ago, Qi Lingfeng and her brothers disappeared from Xie County. Later, a businessman who traveled around the world said that during the years when the Eastern Palace was in Dongdu, he met Qi Lingfeng's brothers, and he seemed to have been a small official there. Later, the Eastern Palace retreated to Huaiyang, and he fled in a hurry, but because of his corrupt law while serving as an official, he caused resentment from the public. On the way, the family was recognized and killed in the chaos. In this way, Qi Lingfeng should have died in the chaos.

In fact, Mu Fulan has never thought of this person in the past few years. Qi Lingfeng and the things she did are so far away from her. She did not expect that many years later, she would still meet this person from the past in this place.

Before she could come back from her surprise, the mother Xie who was held on the opposite side finally came back to breathe a sigh of relief, struggling desperately, and scolded tremblingly: "Qi! You hurt me at the beginning, but later I still remember your love. I thought that you did something wrong for a moment, and I couldn't bear to kill your Qi clan and ask my son to let your clan go. You were eaten by a dog, but now you still treat me like this. Where is the law of nature?"

Before she finished speaking, Qi Lingfeng spat.

"You old guy! How did you promise me in the past? How did you treat me later? In order to save you, I lost my own mother and served you with all my heart. Do you think I, Qi Lingfeng, are you a beggar? If you say you don't want it, just want it. If you give me a few dollars, you want to give it away? It's not that easy!"

She looked at the green tiles, red tiles, carved beams and embroidered pillars in the fire in front of her, and gritted her teeth.

"You people, one is the queen mother and the other is the queen! Do you know how I came here in the past few years? I hid in this palace, blowing the wind and sun, enduring humiliation and carrying on the heavy burden, and doing the most humble and rough work every day! I am not having a good life, and you one by one, don't think about it! Everyone will die together!"

She scratched her hand holding the scissors, and a blood mark was drawn from Xie's mother's neck. Xie's mother was frightened and hurt, choked in the smoke again, coughed constantly, and was pressed tightly by Qi Lingfeng, and fainted again.

"Mu! Your position belongs to me! Why did you take everything from me? Isn't this old guy your mother-in-law? If you don't come again, I will stab her to death! If she dies, I won't be a loss!"

The distance was a bit far, but even so, Mu Fulan clearly felt her two resentful gazes that were throwing at her.

A team of palace guards rushed over. The leader asked Mu Fulan to retreat to a safe place, and said that he immediately led people in to rescue the empress dowager.

When Qi Lingfeng saw the arrival of the Gong Guard, she shouted and dragged Xie’s mother to block her, and ordered the person to retreat immediately, otherwise she would kill her.

From her words and her intuition just now, Mu Fulan guessed that she must have been arranged by Zhao Xitai to sneak into the palace by Zhao Xitai when Liu Hou was still there a few years ago. Zhao Xitai's purpose was obviously aimed at Xie Changgeng. However, Qi had been lurking in the palace for so many years, and did not move early or late. After two days as a queen, she suddenly jumped out.

Her actions today seemed not to be instructed by Zhao Xitai, but rather to be stimulated, and then she had the idea of ​​dying with herself.

She was afraid that Xie's mother would make a mistake, so she whispered to the leader to take his men to remove him from here as she said, and immediately went around to the back. She delayed her time and stabilized Qi Lingfeng. They wanted to sneak in from the back hall as soon as possible and subdue the person while she was unprepared.

The leader was worried about keeping her here, but seeing that she was not panicked at all and her tone was calm. For a moment, she had no better way to do both things, so she immediately retreated as she said.

Mu Fulan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, took a palace servant, walked slowly into the other palace gate that had not yet been burned, and said, "Qi, I'm sorry to you, the Queen Mother and the current emperor, neither can I let you down. You are an innocent person, a pitiful person, and you hate me, it's natural, but Amao has never harmed you before. If she is killed by you today, if you go to the underworld, Yamao will pursue it. Please let me take Amao out and I'll stay. If you have anything to say to me, just say it to me."

She moved to Amao inch by inch, and asked the palace servants to drag Amao out on the ground, and stopped.

Qi Lingfeng stared at her: "Come here, come here, come here a little more, and I will put this old thing!"

Mu Fulan said, "You let the Queen Mother go first."

She saw a faint figure shaking in the back hall, and knew that the palace guards should have sneaked in and continued, "Qi, you said just now that I took away your position. In fact, you said that you have done this position, and you have respected it all the time. You have always had great vision and ability, and you have more ability than me. You really want to do this position of the queen, and you have no time to do it now. You have the kindness of your Majesty to save your mother, and he will not really treat you. You stop at the cliff and don't hurt the queen mother. I just give this position to you..."

Qi Lingfeng's eyes were wild and her face was distorted, and she shouted: "Mu, you bitch, if it weren't for you, I would have married my brother-in-law long ago! You made me so badly, you still want to lie to me!"

She let go of Xie's mother and rushed towards Mu Fulan. Almost at the same time, the head of the Gongwei, who had quietly approached, jumped with several subordinates, and was as fast as an eagle harrier. From the back, he pushed Qi Lingfeng to the ground and snatched the scissors in her hand.

Qi Lingfeng lay on the ground like a catfish, screaming in rage and despair, staring at Mu Fulan with both eyes, her face full of resentment. "I die, don't even think about living!"

The leader of the Gong Guard then discovered that there was a sleeve-wave quiver on Qi Lingfeng's arm.

"Queen, beware!"

He was shocked and realized that it was too late to stop him.

Almost at the same time when the scissors were taken away, a sleeve arrow shaped like a small dagger flew out of Qi Lingfeng's cuff and shot towards Mu Fulan three feet away.

There was more and more smoke in the hall, and Xie's mother fell to the ground and did not move, not knowing how to live or die. Mu Fulan felt relieved when she saw Qi Lingfeng being stopped and asked someone to transfer Xie's mother immediately. She wanted to go out, but she heard the roar from the leader of the palace guards.

Before she could react, someone rushed up behind her and threw her to the ground. The man followed and pressed on her.

Everything happened so quickly, like that moment in a flash.

Mu Fulan fell to the ground with her back. She opened her eyes and recognized that the person who threw her to the ground was Xie Changgeng.

He also came here. He was lying on her body, his face pressing against her neck, and the person didn't move.

Mu Fulan knew something was wrong. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She raised her hand, tentatively touched his back, and when he was close to his lungs, she touched a little sticky and warm liquid with one hand.

"Thank you Changgeng!"

She was shocked and screamed.

His shoulders moved, and he said softly, "I'm fine", and slowly got up from her.

The palace guards had already tied Qi Lingfeng's hands back and suppressed them tightly. The leader held a quiver that was taken off from her sleeve and knelt in front of Xie Changgeng, and kowtowed in fear: "I am dereliction of duty, please punish your majesty!"

Qi Lingfeng's face was completely distorted, causing it to deform.

She hated Xie's mother for her rebellion, but compared to Xie's mother, the woman she hated the most was the woman Mu. She had a lot of hatred and endured humiliation in the palace for several years, making herself neither human nor ghost, which was for revenge. She learned that she was taken to the palace to become the queen, and she hated her so much that she couldn't control herself. With the heart that she would rather be shattered than to Waquan, she chose to take action today. She hid her arm around her. In order to make her fatal, she wanted the woman to be closer to her and closer.

However, she didn't expect that the sleeve arrow would hit him.

He actually blocked the arrows for the sake of the woman.

She widened her eyes and looked at the man in a dragon robe in front of her. She had thought that she would have a bright future in the future and that she would be her own man.

Now that he has become the emperor, the woman around him is not himself.

Her eyes fell from his face to the place where blood was slowly seeping out from his back, and suddenly she burst into tears.

"Brother-in-law! I didn't mean it! Zhao Xitai said that the palace maid was not eye-catching. He arranged for me to enter the palace before, and he gave me this thing, saying that he could help me revenge. He told me to wait and listen to his fate in the future. He originally asked me to assassinate you... Now I know that I don't want you to die... As long as I can stay by your side, even if I see you from afar, I will be satisfied..."

"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that I saved the Queen Mother before? In order to save the Queen Mother, my own mother was gone. But you are so cruel to me. What contribution does she have? Why can you be your queen..."

Qi Lingfeng struggled desperately on the ground, making heart-wrenching howling sounds.

Xie Changgeng looked indifferent, turned his face and said to Gong Wei: "Kill."

There were more and more fires in the hall. A curtain near the nearby one was also ignited by flames, and the tongue of flame suddenly rose and rolled over.

After he finished speaking, he reached out to pull Mu Fulan, who was still sitting on the ground, protected her around the fire, and quickly took her out of the hall gate.

The palace servants lifted the empress dowager who had fainted and sent it to another hall. The eunuch Cao Jin directed everyone to put out the fire, and the scene was quickly controlled. The imperial physician also rushed over. Xie Changgeng ordered the empress dowager to treat him first, and learned that except for skin trauma on the neck and inhaling some smoke, it should be fine.

He sat down slowly and asked the imperial physician to check his injuries.

The sleeve arrow has a special structure, with a light and short shaft, while the head of the arrow is flat and wide. Once it hits the target, the wound caused is deep and wide, just like a dagger piercing, with huge lethality.

This sleeve arrow almost penetrated.

The blood slowly overflowed from the wound. The Imperial Doctor said that this position is close to the lungs and should not be delayed. You need to pull out the sleeve arrow as soon as possible to stop bleeding and heal the wound.

Xie Changgeng asked, "How long does it take?"

"It may take some effort to remove the entire sleeve arrow..." An imperial physician who is proficient in the trauma department said.

At this time, Cao Jin walked in and carefully reported: "Your Majesty, the ritual official is coming, and the auspicious time is coming. The prince, all officials and thousands of elderly people from the people are waiting outside the Taimiao..."

Mu Fulan calmed down and said, "Go and tell the ritual officer that Your Majesty has other important things. The crown prince's coronation ceremony will be cancelled and will go another day!"

Cao Jin glanced at the bloodstains on the emperor's dragon robe and responded quickly. When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly heard him say, "The crown prince's coronation ceremony is set, and it cannot be changed. Go and tell them, and I will come out now."

Mu Fulan was stunned.

The imperial physician hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the sleeve arrow should hurt the lungs, not as much as elsewhere, and it is deeply injured. If you take it out in a hurry and don't deal with it properly, it may be difficult to stop the bleeding. If the blood continues to rush, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please put the dragon body first!"

The imperial physician turned to Mu Fulan: "The queen is also proficient in medicine. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can listen to the queen's words."

Mu Fulan was about to speak, but Xie Changgeng waved his hand and stood up slowly.

"Then wait until the coronation is over before you get the arrow. You can temporarily wrap your wounds for me and stop the external blood."

His tone is unquestionable.

Mu Fulan said: "Your Majesty, let's go another day!"

Xie Changgeng looked at her: "There is no trivial matter in the country. Besides, everyone is waiting, so you can't change it at will."

He paused, walked slowly to her and whispered: "I have suffered a more serious injury than this before. If you don't draw your sword, the wound will not increase bleeding. I can stand it. Here, there are only some required roads to get to Taimiao. I will take a car and go there smoothly. You don't have to worry too much."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the imperial physician to stop the external bleeding quickly.

The imperial physician was helpless and was ordered to apply the wound in a hurry and asked someone to take the blood coagulation pills for the internal treatment. The eunuch also changed his clothes for the emperor and put on a cloak to cover the other places.

He quickly finished packing up and stood there. The eunuch wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, closed his eyes, and walked out.

The eunuch hurriedly followed.

Mu Fulan looked at the slightly stagnant back in front of her, and her heart was confused for a moment, and she could no longer help it, and blurted out: "I'll go with you!"

Xie Changgeng stopped and slowly turned his white face.

She quickly stepped up and said, "I know I don't have to go to this occasion. I'll go there to take care of you."

Xie Changgeng stared at her, silent.

Mu Fulan nodded without waiting for him. After saying that, she ordered the imperial physician to take medicine with her. She asked the eunuch to carry a palace carriage and helped him sit on it and could not walk any longer.

The man silently got on the carriage as she arranged it. Mu Fulan accompanied him and arrived at Zichen Gate.

The ritual officer was waiting there.

Just as he was about to set off, he saw a burst of smoke rising from the harem. The emperor ordered people to take the prince to Taimiao first and go back first. It took so long to go there. Seeing that there was not much time left, he was very anxious when he suddenly saw the emperor and empress appear, and the empress helped the emperor and got off a carriage.

Although the ritual officials were surprised, they did not dare to ask more questions. Seeing that the emperor and the empress had changed into the palace carriage together, they hurriedly led the ceremonial guards to the Taimiao.
