Chapter 118 - Cardiac acceleration

Du Qingcheng looked at the exquisite box in his hand, and smiled a little, "The Old Master of the Lin Family is so generous that even This Dowager is moved by it."

The exquisite box held a few loose pearls within it. Those pearls were actually full and plump, rarely seen in the imperial palace. Embedded in a dragon and phoenix hairpin was the most suitable choice.

"The phoenix hairpin of This Dowager has actually reached the point of lacking such a good item!" Du Qingcheng laughed coldly as he played with the pearl in his hand.

When Qin Luofei came out of the Cool Hall, she saw Zi Yuan gazing at the other side of the palace wall from afar. When he saw Qin Luofei coming out of the palace, he immediately went up to her.

Qin Luofei nodded slightly and said, "Let's go!"

"I thought..." Zi Yuan

Qin Luofei smiled bitterly and said, "That's not true, we'll have to depend on the Lin Clan and the Du Clan."

Now that the palace was in chaos, the two of them didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Just as the two of them reached the corner of the palace wall, they saw Consort Shu standing next to the wall with two palace maids as if they were waiting for someone.

Qin Luofei saw the Consort Shu turn the corner on the other side.

"Little Sister Qin, wait for me!" When the Consort Shu saw Qin Luofei walking towards the imperial flower garden with a cold expression, she also followed closely behind her.

Qin Luofei helplessly turned around, glared at the smiling and flirtatious Consort Shu, and said with hatred: "Big Sister Consort Shu, little sister thought you were waiting there? If Sister Consort Shu is busy, then sister will go back to the palace first? "

As Qin Luofei spoke, she turned and left, but was stopped by the Consort Shu. When he smiled, there were indeed some devilish beauties of the Prince Xi.

"Sister, are you angry with me? Blame me for not speaking up for my sister in the empress dowager's palace. "

You still know the words in Qin Luofei's heart?!

"What is elder sister looking for me for?"

Qin Luofei really didn't want to get entangled with Consort Shu. She already felt the hairs on her body stand on end just like Du Qingcheng, and with Consort Shu, she wouldn't be able to take care of him.

"Little sister, since you don't want to bother with me, don't tell me you're disregarding the First Prince's safety as well?" The Consort Shu giggled.

Qin Luofei was stunned, she had been dealing with the matters of the palace these past few days, to the point where she had completely forgotten that she had not seen Ling Tai for a long time.

If the Du Family were to make a move, they would definitely not let Ling Tai live.

"Ling Tai is following the empress, how could he use me to worry?" Qin Luofei said lightly.

"That's not all, Du Qingcheng is not a soft-hearted person. "If little sister Qin can protect Ling Tai, I believe that when the emperor returns, he will especially pamper little sister …"

Consort Shu smiled like a fox.

Qin Luofei really could not tell who this Consort Shu was with.

"I don't have that kind of ability. I can't even take care of my own life." After saying that, Qin Luofei turned and left, but in her heart, she was planning on how to save Ling Tai.

In her previous life, she had betrayed Ling Tai, and in this life, she would protect him to the fullest.

Consort Shu didn't continue pestering her after seeing her back view.

Qin Luofei saw that they were far away from the Consort Shu, so she softly whispered a few words into Zi Yuan's ear, causing Zi Yuan to nod her head.

Qin Luofei couldn't help but to sigh. Could that bastard really have been harmed by the Du Family? He was in a personal command, but now, his own woman was about to become someone else's.

Qin Luofei walked along the imperial garden towards her own palace. Halfway there, she saw a pair of imperial guards walking towards her.

Qin Luo Fei originally had her head lowered. Suddenly, she felt a familiar feeling. She raised her head and was immediately stunned.

Those dazzling eyes, those thin lips, and that handsome face … they were clearly the black clothed man who had saved his life.

Ling Jian also saw Qin Luofei, and slightly moved his eyes towards her.

Since receiving the task of protecting her, he had snuck into the guard camp and been sent to the palace.

Qin Luofei stared fixedly at Ling Jian, and did not even hear Zi Yuan's warning from the side. Her head knocked onto the big tree in front of her, and she was knocked so hard that she covered her head, moaning and groaning.

Ling Jian stood at the side and looked at Qin Luofei with a dumbstruck expression.

He felt that this woman was so stupid. Look at him, he could actually see her colliding with a tree.

Qin Luofei was also a bit embarrassed, as if every time she looked at a handsome man, she would make a fool of herself.

Fortunately, only a few people could be seen by her.

Qin Luofei felt that she had lost a little too much face, and didn't dare to look anymore. Clutching her head, she lowered her head, and brushed past Ling Jian.

As Ling Jian looked at the person's escaping posture, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile. However, when he thought back to his master's instructions, he felt a faint unease in his heart.

All he could do was protect her and prevent anyone from harming her.

Qin Luofei was also wondering why he had suddenly appeared in the palace. Could it be that his master was a member of the Du Family?

Qin Luofei was a little depressed in her heart, she really hated the Du Family right now.

Returning to the palace, a young eunuch heard from outside that the Prince Xi ahead of them had disappeared, causing their troops to retreat. The situation was not good.

Qin Luofei felt helpless. If the situation went awry, she might just return from the battle. It would be the turn of the year when the world changed masters.

Compared to the Du Family, Qin Luofei still liked that bastard the most.

The Yan State's army kept on retreating. Adding the fact that the soil and water did not adapt, more than half of them fell ill.

In the tent, Xiao Linzi saw that the Emperor Ming was frowning and did not dare to speak, so he waited on the side.

The Prince Xi followed General Mo onto the battlefield, but was ambushed by the enemy.

The Emperor Ming sent people to look for him, but they did not find any trace of him.

"Your majesty, rest early!"

Emperor Ming raised his eyes. Because he had stayed up late at night, his eyes were dark green. He had never suffered so much in his entire life. The southern border was damp and cold, and even the finger-sized mosquitoes were unbearable to the soldiers.

It had already been a month since he personally went into battle, and the news from the capital became increasingly sparse. Even Teacher Shangguan had been cut off from the news, so Emperor Ming had a vague sense of unease in his heart.

"Your majesty, there's no news!"

Emperor Ming nodded and waved, saying: "You may leave!"

Xiao Linzi walked out of the tent, but felt a shadow flash behind him. When he turned around, he didn't see anything.

With half-closed eyes, Emperor Ming watched as the black-clothed man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over to him.

Emperor Ming opened his eyes and a cold light immediately shot out from his eyes. He snorted coldly, "The Du Family is truly ambitious. I have really underestimated them. Let them have their beautiful dreams for a few days! "

Emperor Ming took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over to the black clothed man. He whispered a few words to him and watched the black clothed man disappear into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

The battles at the palace became increasingly obvious, even the imperial court was in turmoil as the Du Family killed a few disobedient officials. Even Du Qingcheng was sweeping through the concubine, and in that moment, everyone was in danger.

The Huan Beauty had always lived in the side hall of the Cool Hall. Ever since the Emperor had led the army personally, there had been no news of her.

After Shangguan Die, the other victim was her concubine. Her brother had saved the emperor's life, and this time he had gone with him.

In addition, she had always been afflicted with an illness and did not often go out of the palace. Du Qingcheng had only ordered for her to be kept under house arrest until she let Qin Luofei let out a sigh of relief.

Her concubine saved her life because Luo Ziyan came out of her palace and she was a rare confidant, so she naturally did not want anything to happen to her.

It was a good thing that she was being placed under house arrest in such a chaotic situation.

Luo Ziyan's condition had not been completely cured, and it was likely that she had been very affectionate towards the Emperor. After discovering the situation in the palace and the aggravation of her illness, it was useless even if she invited many imperial doctors.

The Luo Family was a small family, and wasn't in the Du Family's eyes, so Du Qingcheng was too lazy to lay his hands on her. It was Consort Mo and the rest that had been looking for trouble with her.

The Mo and Du Families had always worked together in the imperial court, and now, they were colluding with each other. Consort Mo and Du Qingcheng had no choice but to work together once again in the palace.

"Miss, how about we go see Miss Luo tomorrow," Miss Duskgold couldn't help but say as he was worried about Luo Ziyan's illness.

Although she really wanted to visit Luo Ziyan, the time was not right and she could only endure her thoughts.

Zi Yuan and Mo Ling Jian had made contact, and Mo Ling Jian had already returned to the capital. This made Qin Luofei give up on her thoughts, and when she really had to go all out, she could just give it a shot.

It had already been half a month since his last visit to the Cool Hall, and during that time, Du Qingcheng did not invite any more concubine to greet him.

The mutiny happened in the early morning. Qin Luofei had just woken up, and was currently lying on her bed in deep thought. Suddenly, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside.

Zi Yan and Su Hua already ran in from the outside, along with a few panicking maid.

"What happened?" Qin Luofei quickly got up from the bed and put on her clothes.

Zi Yuan held onto a treasured sword that she had taken from god knows where, and there were still some bloodstains on it. She walked to Qin Luofeng's side and said in a deep voice, "It seems like the Du Family is in trouble."

Qin Luofei had long anticipated this day, but when it really came, her expression changed.

"Is the palace door tightly shut?" Although he knew that it was useless, he could only block it for a while.

Zi Yuan nodded her head, and said: "I have already told the young eunuch to close the door, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold on for long.

"We'll leave it to fate!" At this moment, Qin Luofei had actually calmed down.

The few of them were in the room, and upon hearing the constant screams coming from outside, their scalps went numb.

Zi Yuan held onto her treasure sword, and stood not a step away from Qin Luofei.

The battle lasted from dawn until noon before it gradually subsided. Blood flowed from the palace walls into the courtyard, making those who saw it tremble in fear.

The few of them had not eaten for an entire day, and they did not dare to leave the courtyard. It was not until the evening when someone knocked on the door.

"Miss, what should we do? There seems to be someone knocking on the door. "

Qin Luofeng glanced at Zi Yuan, who nodded slightly.

"Zi Yuan, bring a few eunuchs with you to open the door. If there's anything wrong, close the door immediately."

purple

The lady nodded and led a few young eunuchs to the door.

Daffodil Daydream tightly gripped onto Qin Luofei's hand, her palm was drenched in sweat.

Qin Luofei's heart was also beating faster. What was waiting for them?
