concubine queen

Chapter 102

Yu Mingqian touched the jade wrench finger in his hand, as expected he would do so, as expected.

The man in black can only see Yu Mingqian's side face, but he can still feel the different coldness in it.

"Don't stop her, just protect Bihe."

The man in black nodded and disappeared in an instant.

"Yufeng, come out." As soon as Yu Mingqian finished speaking, a figure flashed out, his dark guard Yufeng, the only person close to him.

Yufeng has always been by Yu Mingqian's side, like his shadow, coming and going without a trace, but as long as Yu Mingqian calls him, he will appear no matter what time.

"Master, do you have a new mission?" Yufeng's voice was cold to the bone, it was related to his many years of assassin training, he never smiled.

Yu Mingqian smiled, "Give this letter to Xiao Zhu, and from now on, you are no longer my secret guard, but Li Fengxi's secret guard."

Yufeng was startled by the second half of Yu Mingqian's words, his expression that hadn't changed for many years finally changed, and he looked at Yu Mingqian with a pair of dark eyes full of curiosity.He has followed Yu Mingqian since he was a teenager, and he knows that Yu Mingqian is a very knowledgeable king, he can do anything for his throne, and he will never be bound by a woman, but today is different , he saw something in Yu Mingqian's eyes that he didn't have before, it was a kind of nostalgia and doting.

"Yes, master." Although Yufeng has many doubts in his heart, he is also a very qualified killer. He has been trained since he was a child to only obey the orders of his superiors and never question them.So, he chose not to ask.

Yu Mingqian nodded, "Now, you can go."

Protecting Yu Mingqian for so many years, even though he is a secret guard, Yu Mingqian almost treats him as his own brother. Yufeng knows that Yu Mingqian completely trusts him, but at the same time he is also worried about Yu Mingqian's safety.

"Master, Yufeng is worried." Yufeng showed a worried look on his face.

Yu Mingqian was slightly moved, "Don't worry, I will find two more hidden guards who are as powerful as you."

After hearing this, Yufeng stopped worrying. Even though he is very powerful, there are many powerful people around the master, so his worries are a bit unnecessary.

"Master, Yufeng is leaving now."

Yu Mingqian nodded, and in an instant, Yufeng left.Looking out of the window, Yu Mingqian couldn't help but lost his mind. He didn't know how Fengxi was doing now, and whether the poison on his body had been cured. In order to get rid of Taiwei Zhou, he agreed to Fengxi's request to let her go to the third place alone. Yizhen, despite Ding Qishan, is still worried.This time it is really time to go to war, Zhou Taiwei will definitely not accept him, there is a [-]% chance that he will rebel, then there will be chaos in the palace, Fengxi is pregnant, let her go to Sanyi Town, firstly for the purpose of detoxification , Second, to avoid trouble.

Just as Yu Mingqian was feeling cold, a little bird rushed in, chirped and flew over, and circled around Yu Mingqian.

Yu Mingqian looked back, it turned out to be Que'er, why didn't Fengxi take this little guy with him when he went to Sanyi Town, and let him run to Yushufang to make trouble.

"Little Que'er, I've become more and more courageous recently. I don't know what it's like to stew birds with mushrooms."

Xiao Que'er seemed to understand Yu Mingqian's words, and flapped her little wings in disobedience, flying higher, as if she was shouting at Yu Mingqian.

Yu Mingqian smiled, didn't speak anymore, and lay down on the couch, he was a little tired.

"Hey, you have to be careful, I'm going to throw it away!"

In the yard, a small figure in a blue double-breasted short gown and a pleated skirt spoke to the person in front of him.

As soon as Yu Mingfu entered the palace, he was attracted by the sound. When he got closer, he realized that it was the little girl who was rescued two days ago. She was still weak that day, but she got up and made a fuss again today. I heard the steward said that the mansion The maids in the house actually liked her very much, and they didn't believe it when they heard it, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they realized that the housekeeper was not joking.

"You're having fun." Yu Mingfu said with a cold face on purpose.

The little maid who was playing with Zhou Qing immediately bowed to the prince when she saw the prince's return, "Slave maid greets the prince."

Zhou Qing turned her back to the Yuming Talisman, pouted her lips, the prince is amazing, she wanted to think about it, but she turned around and saluted pretendingly.

"Slaves send greetings to the prince."

Seeing Zhou Qing's reluctance, Yu Mingfu felt amused, it was the first time someone was so stubborn, since she wanted to be stubborn, he cooperated.

Zhou Qing knelt on her knees for a long time, but she didn't see Yu Mingfu talking about getting up, feeling annoyed, this prince really knows how to put on airs.

"Okay, get up." Yu Mingfu said when she saw that she seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and waited for the next sentence of the Yuming Talisman.

And Yu Mingfu just said something to let them play freely, and left.Looking at the back of Yumingfu leaving, Zhou Qing vaguely felt that Yumingfu had something on her mind.

Yu Mingfu did have something on his mind.The emperor's brother Yu Mingqian wanted to deal with Zhou Taiwei, Zhou Taiwei couldn't have been aware of it, he must have been prepared, maybe he would rebel and cause a rebellion.He was worried that after the rebellion would harm the people, he would be in trouble.

"My lord, I have something to report to you." The butler's voice came from outside the door.

"come in."

With the consent of Yu Mingfu, the butler gently opened the door and entered.

"My lord, the spies sent out said that the girl is Zhou Taiwei's second daughter, named Zhou Qing. She was born by a maid next to Mrs. Zhou, but that girl was used by Mrs. Zhou as a maid since she was a child. Madame lost her temper for some reason and wanted to send this girl to Yazi, but that girl escaped unwilling to be betrayed."

Hearing the steward's statement, Yu Mingfu was shocked. He thought he was a servant of some family, but he was also a lady of everyone. It's a pity that he was born in Zhou Taiwei's family and met such an aunt. No wonder she To pester him desperately, it must be because Mrs. Zhou was really hateful.

"My lord, right now Taiwei Zhou is being suspected by the emperor, I think it's better to send this girl back." The butler has always followed the Yuming Talisman, so he knows a little about political affairs, and his proposal is really for Yuming Fu good.

But the Yu Ming Talisman hesitated, if the girl was sent back, she might be ruined for the rest of her life, and just staying in the palace was not a feasible solution.After thinking hard for a long time, Yu Mingfu finally had an idea. He remembered that his sister-in-law named Li Fengxi was currently recuperating in Sanyi Town, so why not send this girl there.

"Housekeeper, go and call that girl here."

The butler looked at the Yuming Talisman, and it seemed that the prince was still planning to save the girl. He sighed inwardly, agreed, and turned to leave.

After a while, Zhou Qing came in after the housekeeper.

The Yuming Talisman asked the butler to leave first, then closed it again, and then sat back on the chair, looking at Zhou Qing across the desk.

"Is your name Zhou Qing?"

Zhou Qing was surprised when she heard Yu Mingfu calling her name, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Yu Mingfu.

Yu Mingfu also looked at her, "Are you Zhou Taiwei's second daughter?"

Zhou Qing nodded honestly. She wanted to find a chance to tell Yu Mingfu about this. She felt that since she had come to the palace, she could no longer deceive him. She didn't expect Yu Mingfu to know everything.

"This king knew that Mrs. Zhou was going to sell you to someone else, but you refused to accept it, so you ran out. This king can save you, but there is one condition."

Zhou Qing was stunned, and Prince You said he wanted to save her, "My lord, please tell me, what is the condition?"

Zhou Qing looked at the Yuming Talisman with watery eyes. Although she didn't know what conditions he would propose, she was very moved.

"The king wants you to leave the Zhou family, hide your name, leave the capital, and go to the place where the king wants you to go."

Zhou Qing originally thought that Yuming Talisman would let her stay in the palace as a maid, after all, it was really disrespectful for her to treat him so rudely.

"My lord, ever since my mother died, I have sworn that my surname is not Zhou. The lord is my savior. From now on, I will let the lord decide!"

What Zhou Qing said was decisive. When she was very young, she watched her mother shed tears every day. She was squeezed out by Mrs. Zhou and had a hard time. She couldn't even tell Zhou Taiwei because Mrs. Zhou threatened her with her mother's family. , Such a day is simply worse than death.Two years ago, my mother's body finally collapsed under Mrs. Zhou's long-term torture, and she passed away.

And Mrs. Zhou didn't even set up a decent monument for her, she just had her mother's body wrapped in a mat and thrown to the graveyard. At that time, she was really desperate, but she remembered what her mother said, no matter what, she must be strong Live forever, for those who want you to be happy.So she persisted, but she never thought Mrs. Zhou was not satisfied after forcing her mother to death, and wanted to sell her to someone else. She wanted to find a chance to tell Zhou Taiwei.But that day, standing at the door of Zhou Taiwei's study and hearing that sentence, she no longer had extravagant hopes.Zhou Taiwei said that he only has one daughter, and that is Zhou Liwei.

I have never been so desperate before. I used to think that it was Mrs. Zhou who forced their mother and daughter not to get close to Zhou Taiwei. Later, I realized that all this was ordered by Zhou Taiwei. He felt that a child born to a slave was not worthy of being his child. So let them be abused arbitrarily, and their life in the mansion is worse than that of ordinary maids.

Poor her mother felt that Zhou Taiwei had her in her heart until she died. Now she only feels worthless for her dead mother. A woman like water like mother was buried in the hands of such a man all her life. It's not worth it.

When she came back to her senses, Zhou Qing found that her face was covered with tears, and she was a little embarrassed. She shouldn't be so rude in front of the prince.

"My lord, I'm sorry, but this servant reminded me of my mother, so I just"

Seeing her sadness, Yu Mingfu felt a burst of sympathy in his heart. This girl is only eleven or twelve years old, and it is not easy to persevere until now. If it were another child, she might have died long ago.

"From now on, your name will be Fu Qing. If anyone asks, you can say that you are a distant relative of this king." Yu Mingfu looked at Zhou Qing solemnly.

No, I can't call her Zhou Qing now.Fu Qing wiped away her tears and nodded. Although she didn't know why the prince gave her the surname Fu, she was very obedient.

"Okay, let's go out. In two days, the king will arrange for the housekeeper to take you out of here, and go to a place to hide for a few months."

Fu Qing nodded gratefully, said no more, and left quietly.

After she left, the housekeeper came in.

"My lord, why did you let this girl follow the surname of the concubine, this is disrespectful to the concubine?" The housekeeper wanted to say disrespect, but he still didn't say it.

Yu Mingfu knew what the butler wanted to say, and asked Zhou Qing to follow her concubine's surname. Although it was a bit disrespectful to her concubine, it also avoided many problems.The concubine mother has always been kind-hearted and will not mind such a trivial matter.

"She is the king's distant relative, needless to say." Yu Mingfu simply explained.

The butler immediately understood that the prince was using the concubine to give the girl a new identity, so that the girl would not be discovered.

"My lord, I think you don't usually care about this girl."

As soon as the steward finished speaking, he felt that Yu Mingfu's face stiffened obviously. He immediately knew that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't take it back, so he could only wait for the prince to teach him a lesson.

But the strange thing is that Yuming Talisman didn't mean to teach him a lesson, but just froze for a moment, and didn't say anything else.

The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince is in a good mood today and doesn't care about his rudeness just now.

"My lord, do you have any other orders?"

Yu Mingfu shook his head, "Go out."

The butler went out and closed the door at the same time.

In the dark and damp prison, the smell of death exudes. Many criminals in the palace are imprisoned here. This is the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Let me out quickly! I didn't kill the First Prince!" A voice yelled inaudibly, the voice was shrill and unpleasant.

The few people guarding the prisoner looked at him mockingly. Few of those who entered the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could get out properly, and for such a serious crime as his, he would definitely not be able to get out. No matter how much he shouted, it was useless. If you are sensible, you might as well end it yourself.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go have a drink!" the leader-like man said cheerfully.

The rest of the people also followed suit. Although the rules in the palace are relatively strict, they can occasionally take a few sips of wine and a few bites of meat while the boss is away, and watch these people who are not far from death in this prison all day long. They are not in a good mood either, and eating meat and drinking can help them relax.

Several people discussed to send one person to buy wine and meat, and the rest waited in the prison, lest something really happen.

Soon the wine and meat arrived, and everyone gathered around a small table and began to eat and drink, and gambled from time to time.

Lu Xiu looked at these people contemptuously, walked around them, found the cell where the man was, and dodged past.

When the man saw Luxiu, he was excited. It was the girl who asked him to go to the gate of the palace, and the girl also said that as long as he appeared at the gate of the palace, it would be fine, but he did not expect that he was arrested inexplicably.The package of medicine was obviously given to him by this girl, and he was only instructed by others.At that time, I wanted to tell the truth, but the strange thing is that the chief eunuch next to the emperor didn't seem to need him to confess, and he didn't interrogate him as soon as he came in.

"Girl, you are finally here, save me!" the man whispered, he was afraid of being discovered by the guards.

He only begged Lu Xiu to save him, but he didn't notice the cold light in Lu Xiu's eyes. Just when he thought he could get out alive, he felt a pain in his throat, and then fell backwards.

It turned out that at some point, his throat was cut by a soft knife, blood was flowing, he was speechless, he finally understood what kind of person he was dealing with, he regretted it, but In the world, never regret medicine.

Lu Xiu watched the person in front of her fall silently with satisfaction, and was about to leave, but remembered something, and walked inside, and at the corner, she found Bi He, the maid of Qianque Palace.

Now that it's here, let's settle it together. This girl is superfluous anyway.

But just when she was about to make a move, there was a commotion at the door. It seemed that those people found out that the man was dead. Lu Xiu thought about it, but let it go. , the green sleeve disappeared.

And those guards were still eating and drinking, and suddenly someone noticed the movement, so they all woke up and didn't dare to continue to make trouble. They immediately packed up their wine and meat, and went to check on the prisoners.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you find that the important criminal has died, and several people are so frightened that they can't speak.

Fortunately, the leader is an old man in the palace. It is not uncommon to see this kind of thing, so calm down first.

"You two go to report to the superior, you two check other places in the prison, don't panic!"

Hearing what he said, the four people under him all looked at the leader in admiration, and then quickly followed his orders.

Xu Desheng was preparing to wait for Yu Mingqian to flip the card, but he didn't want to hear such news, it seemed that the emperor had expected it, so he was not that surprised.

"You go down first, this matter must not be revealed, and our family will report it to the emperor."

The man was uneasy, afraid that Eunuch Xu would blame them for this, but seeing that Eunuch Xu was not that surprised, he was relieved a lot, and obediently retreated.

Xu Desheng went in with a plate with a brand on it, and seeing Yu Mingqian was still reviewing the memorial, he stood aside and waited.

After half a stick of incense, Yu Mingqian finally put down the pen in his hand and looked at Xu Desheng.

"What's the matter, is that person dead?"

Xu Desheng moved his stiff arm secretly, and looked at Yu Mingqian in admiration.

"Your Majesty is wise, just now a person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that the man was stabbed in the throat with a soft knife and is already dead."

"What about Bihe?"

Xu Desheng replied again, "Back to the emperor, Miss Bihe is safe and sound."

Yu Mingqian nodded and rubbed his temples, "Go get someone to block the news, and then make a fake testimony, saying that Zhou Liwei ordered him to poison the First Prince."

Xu Desheng, who was holding the plate, couldn't help slandering in his heart, the emperor was the most powerful, and with this move, there was a perfect reason to deal with Taiwei Zhou. It's just that the poor eldest prince suffered from illness for two months, but it was not in vain by.

"The servant is in charge, I wonder which master's card the emperor will turn over today?"

Yu Mingqian looked at the plate, but thought of another person, shook his head, "Today I sleep in the Golden Dragon Palace."
