All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Concubine Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise.

He never expected that Cui Jin would dare to call her by her boudoir name in front of the emperor.

Although he didn't make a sound, he covered it with a filial hat.

But...how dare he!
Isn't he afraid of being beheaded by the emperor?

Concubine Zhao Guifei's face was pale, and she took half a step back calmly, lowering her head timidly to hide the disgust in her eyes.

This kind of reaction made Concubine Cui unexpected, slightly taken aback.

He knew that his actions were uncontrollable, and meng lang became a little bit upset.

But, but Ah Wu shouldn't treat him like this.

In the past, no matter what he did, Ah Wu would smile at him.

Even if he did something wrong, Ah Wu would gently say to him, "Brother Jin, you must have your own reasons for being so smart."

Unlike the eldest princess, who would only say that he "didn't do this right" or "do that wrong", and demoted him to nothing.

Cui Jin thought of the past, and his expression softened a lot.

It seems that Ah Wu is still angry with him.

Thinking about it, if he saw his sweetheart and felt sad for others, he would feel uncomfortable.

Cui Jin really wanted to go forward and explain to Concubine Zhao that "he only has her in his heart", but in front of the emperor, even though he was very courageous, he didn't dare to move.

Eunuch Chang is the closest to Cui Jin, he has a panoramic view of his every move, he is almost dumbfounded.

In the past, when he saw Concubine Cui submissive in front of the eldest princess, he thought he was timid and fearful, so he unscrupulously said many bewitching words in front of him, encouraged him, and encouraged him.

He didn't realize until today that Concubine Cui is actually a foolish and bold person!

Eunuch Chang was afraid that Cui Jin would do something again, so he hurried forward, calmly blocking Cui Jin's constant glances at the noble concubine's face.

Shen Lingxi had a panoramic view of the expressions of the three of them, and silently curled her lips.

Seeing that the queen mother and the emperor had already reached the half-open coffin, Shen Lingxi put her hands behind her back and gestured towards the corner.

In just a few breaths, only a "bang" was heard, and there was a loud noise outside the mourning hall.

Under the scorching sun, the white spirit banners on both sides of the entrance of the mourning hall rubbed against the ground, and burst into flames!
There was an instant commotion at the door.

"It's in the water! Be careful of assassins! Hurry up and escort!"

Most of the mourning halls are filled with female relatives, and they panicked when they heard the word "assassin".

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Those spirit banners that were on fire were all gathered at the door, and the crowd naturally screamed and rushed inward in a panic.

The empress dowager, the emperor and the empress were originally the closest to the coffin, the place was empty, when there was commotion at the door, the hidden guards came to protect the three of them in a corner.

Only Concubine Zhao Guifei placed the order.

Eunuch Chang had sharp eyes and quick hands, supported Zhao Guifei's arm, and led her to the carved partition in the corner, turned around and blocked her behind, using his body to separate from the incoming crowd.

"Your Majesty, you can hide here at ease, this old servant will protect you."

Cui Jin was the closest to the two of them, and he was impatient to protect Concubine Zhao, but Eunuch Chang took the lead and separated him from Concubine Zhao.

"Get up, Ah Wu has me to protect her!"

Seeing that Eunuch Chang was so blind, Cui Jin was so angry that he grabbed his collar and pulled him aside.

Concubine Zhao Guifei is a star-studded person when she urinates. She has been pampered and pampered in the deep palace for a long time, she has never seen such a battle before, her eyes are full of horror.

Her well-maintained slender fingers tightly grasped the carved partition, her red lips parted slightly, and she exhaled tremblingly, "My son-in-law, you... what are you doing? You, you must not be presumptuous!"

Her charming voice was called "son-in-law".

Hearing it in Cui Jin's ears made him instantly anxious.

She had always called him "Brother Jin" before, and it seemed that she was really angry with him this time.

When the eldest princess was angry with him, she only called him "son-in-law".

Cui Jin and the eldest princess have been husband and wife for so many years, but the eldest princess has a bad temper, so he always has to change ways to coax her well.

He knows best that if a woman is angry, she must be coaxed immediately.

If it is delayed for a long time, it will be even more serious.

"Ah Wu, good Ah Wu, don't get me wrong..." He lowered his voice through Eunuch Chang's shoulder, and said to Concubine Zhao in a hurry: "In my heart... In my heart, I have only you from beginning to end, never her."

Concubine Zhao was shocked, her eyes like autumn water were wide open.

Looking at Cui Jin's gaze is like looking at a lunatic.

"You, you, you are bold... presumptuous!" Concubine Zhao Gui's eyes were red, and she was about to cry, "Who did you instigate to ruin my reputation? Don't you want me to die!"

Eunuch Chang, who stood in front of Concubine Zhao, almost fainted on the spot!

The things he used to say to Cui Jin, such as "My mother loves you", "My mother values ​​you the most", "My mother is grateful to you", "My mother loves you" and so on, are all to trick Cui Jin, a fool, into doing things for the government.

Anyway, Concubine Zhao is in the deep palace, and Cui Jin's son-in-law is a foreigner, and he will never see each other in his life.

Since this fool believed what they said, he was so happy and coaxed him to come.

Who would have thought that there would be such a day when the delicate and expensive imperial concubine and concubine could have such close contact with this idiot son-in-law!
Eunuch Chang's mood at this moment is as if he has been feeding Gu for many years and was bitten by the Gu. He almost regrets it.

What kind of occasion is this, dare to die like this?
Does Cui Jin have any brains?
Eunuch Chang swallowed the sweet smell in his throat, and tried to persuade him, "My son-in-law, calm down, listen to the old slave..."

"Say what!" Cui Jin looked at Concubine Zhao's appearance of crying, his heart was about to break, how could he listen to his words.

This might be the only time in his life. The opportunity to open his heart to Bai Yueguang must never make her angry with him and misunderstand her.

Thinking of this, he pulled Eunuch Chang out even more forcefully, and said angrily: "You eunuch, get out of the way for my son-in-law!"

At this moment, the spirit flag next to the coffin, for some reason, suddenly rubbed against it again, spontaneously ignited without fire, and started to burn!
Among the crowded crowd, a clear female voice cut through the din of the room: "Quick! Put out the fire! If you don't put out the fire, the eldest princess' body will be burned!"

The panicked crowd all looked towards the top of the mourning hall——
I saw that the burning spirit flag was very close to the inner and outer coffins, if it continued to burn, it would soon be burned into the inner and outer coffins, and it would really burn the eldest princess's body!
"Save the eldest princess! Put out the fire! Hurry up, put out the fire!" The emperor shouted anxiously from a far corner.

The dead one was the big one, and with the emperor's dictation, all the people who were close to the coffin couldn't care less about the "assassin" and stepped forward to fight the fire one after another.

"My son-in-law, hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and save the body of the eldest princess..." Eunuch Chang hurriedly urged.

At this moment, Cui Jin only wanted to "pacify" Zhao Guifei's emotions, so he couldn't care less about this.

Taking advantage of Eunuch Chang's distraction, he broke away his hand that was tightly gripping the carved partition and pushed him out, "Go and save me, wait until I finish talking with Ah Wu."

After finishing speaking, he opened his arms, put his hands on both sides, lowered his head, and said to Concubine Zhao, who was shivering in the corner of the wall, in the tone he used to gently coax the eldest princess: "Awu... listen to me... I, I have never had half affection for the eldest princess. I, Cui Jin, have only you in my heart from the beginning to the end. You must not alienate me just because I wear sackcloth and filial piety for the eldest princess, let alone because I She shed a few tears and then misunderstood me. What I did was just an expedient measure. I don’t care about the many misunderstandings of me by outsiders, but Ah Wu, you must not mistake my affection for you. I know you Don't want me to have others in my heart, but this is just my expedient measure, you...can you understand my good intentions?"

Concubine Cui was only focused on coaxing his beloved Bai Yueguang, but he didn't realize that the crowded crowd around them had vacated their corner because they all ran to save the princess's body...
