Return of the Swallow

Li Junwang smiled and said: "I heard that when a pregnant woman is pregnant, the fetus and the mother in the body will compete for nutrients. So I want to know, if the mother is in a desperate situation, the mother's limited nutrients , will it be absorbed by the mother, or will it be snatched away by the baby?"

Upon hearing this, the queen's pupils shrank suddenly, and she glared angrily at Li Junwang, her heart turned back and forth, many curse words were on her lips, but the queen desperately held back.

She can't be impulsive, what if the villain is angered by impulsiveness, and he hurts the child in her womb on the spot? She herself had no hope, so she had to do her best for the child anyway, as long as King Li didn't kill her immediately, then she and the child still had hope.

King Li Jun admired the Queen's changed face with great interest. Seeing that she didn't beg for mercy in panic, nor was she furious, but lowered her brows silently, King Li Jun finally couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the emperor's sister-in-law to have such a temper, but I haven't seen you through these years. But if you are worthy of being Li Qitian's empress, your temper is naturally not bad." She raised her hand, and there was a rush of footsteps behind her Voice.

"The king of the county."

"Well, let's do it, do it neatly. Don't alarm anyone."

"yes!"

The confidant immediately took the order, and led a group of people to pull all the palace servants in the Queen's Palace who were pressed down to kneel on the ground and gagged just now, as well as the palace servants who witnessed King Li coming to the Queen's Palace, all pulled down to a corner. Mouth executions quickly filled a well.

For the queen, all the food and water in the hall were searched and thrown out, and the queen was pushed into the hall, and then all the doors and windows were firmly sealed.

King Li Jun stood outside the door with his hands behind his back. The sky had completely darkened, and the scenery in front of him was illuminated by the stars. His confidant guards were nailing planks to the doors and windows neatly. There were many people and quick hands, but after a while, they made the room where the queen was imprisoned so that others could see the inside, but the pregnant woman just couldn't get out of the cage.

King Li Jun came to the window and looked at the queen who was sitting silently on the warm kang by the window, "I really admire you for being so calm. I want to see how long you can stay calm. But you are better than the queen mother." The old guy is much stronger. The queen mother was so frightened in the blink of an eye, she knelt down and begged for mercy."

The queen almost blurted out the curse words. But she told herself again and again that she should not be impulsive, and she had to think about her children. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the queen still didn't anger Prince Li, she just lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.

King Li Jun laughed loudly,

"Okay, yes, I like a calm woman like you. Forget it, just stay."

Turning around, he ordered the confidantes he had brought along, as well as the cronies who had sneaked into the Jinwu guards and bodyguards, and ordered: "There are Tatar spies sneaking into the palace, you must protect the safety of the queen mother and queen, and this king will go to guard the palace." Read the books in the study, if you have any news here, please come and tell me.”

"Yes. My lord."

Everyone responded in unison.

King Li Jun took a look at the clear night sky, and walked quickly to the imperial study in high spirits.

After tonight, there will be no more Li Qitian, no more Pang Xiao.

Your Majesty and Prince Zhongshun? Wasn't he trapped in the underground palace and buried alive?

Live to see people and die to see corpses? Easy, just continue digging the underground palace.

As for those people in the palace? Perhaps it was the deep affection between Princess Zhongshun and Prince Zhongshun, who set a fire to die for love, and accidentally burned the entire palace to death.

Do not believe? That may have been done by the Tatars, anyway, Princess Zhongshun was the culprit who killed Anari Khan. It is not impossible for someone to seek revenge.

King Li counted everything into consideration, and felt that the arrangement was seamless without any mistakes, so he proudly went to the imperial study to wait for the news.

At this time, the palace had indeed been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

On a hill not far from the palace.

Qin Yining was sitting cross-legged, his body had been wrapped in a big fur cloak in advance, there was a lot of dirt on his hair and body, but he was very energetic.

Qin Yining looked at the burning palace in front of him, and asked with some concern: "Will the people you arrange be casualties?"

Liao Zhibing was disheveled, and the confidantes of the Qingtian League around him were also in a state of dust and distress.

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

Liao Zhibing said: "Leader, don't worry, there may be mistakes and omissions in other things, brothers, but this is not a difficult thing. There are enough corpses left in the palace, and the tunnel is also hidden. Brothers are all Those who are good at escaping will find a chance and everyone will retreat."

Only then did Qin Yining feel relieved: "It's good that there will be no casualties. Brothers are not raised by their parents, there is no need to lose their lives because of these things."

Several people looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Liao Zhibing said with a smile: "Leader, the night wind is cold, why don't you go back first, so as not to sit here for a long time and get cold."

"No hurry, let's take a look. The perspective here is very good, and you can see the overall situation. If there is any change, we can remedy it."

Of course Liao Zhibing knew what Qin Yining said was right. He was just worried that Qin Yining's body would not be able to bear it. Looking down, her stomach looked as if she was about to give birth. In case of an outbreak on this mountain, there are big men around her, and there are only two little girls, who can deliver the baby.

Liao Zhibing thought a lot, but it was also the common thought of people who didn't know Qin Yining's physical condition when they saw her.

Bingtang and Jiyun were both wrapped in clothes with thick fur collars, and their faces were like tabby cats, they were tightly next to Qin Yining to help her keep warm.

Compared with outsiders, Bingtang knows Qin Yining's physical condition better. If there is no accident, a pair of naughty little ones will live in the princess's stomach for another month. There are so many people protecting her, and the princess will not be tired. There is no problem at all.

Qin Yining didn't know what was going on in the hearts of the people around him. Looking at the flames not far from the foot of the mountain, the three entrances of the huge palace including the gardens were all engulfed in flames, causing many people around to shout loudly and beat the gong, rushing to put out the fire, Qin Yining felt a little pity in his heart .

Such a good home is gone.

Maybe this is the first house she lived in after she got married, so she has extra affection?

Although the capital is large, the news is not slow to spread. The sky is dry, and the palace occupies a large area. When a big fire came down, the whole capital city was red half the sky, and the neighbors around were hurriedly evacuated, watching the people from Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuilong Bureau panic The rescue efforts were in vain, and they could only watch the fire grow stronger.

It was cold in the late autumn night in the north, but the people around the palace only felt that their faces were scorched by the fire, and their sweat was blown cold by the cold wind.

"How can this be good? What's wrong with the court, so many things have happened in the capital recently!"

"Prince Zhongshun is a great hero! Are all the family members of the palace trapped in it?"

"No one has escaped! It is said that the princess is still pregnant!"

...

The onlookers all sighed.

It's too miserable for the prince's family with great military exploits!

Although the royal family did not publicize the fact that the Holy Majesty was buried in the underground palace, they could not bear to spread the word outside. Now who in the capital does not know what kind of treasure the Holy Majesty is digging in the underground palace. Every family has a funeral.

Prince Zhongshun was one of them. Not to mention that he was buried in the palace and couldn't be rescued, even the palace was burned down.

Could it be that it was really because the prince committed too many crimes during the battle?

The sound of discussion cannot cover up the crackling sound of wood burning.

Just as the firefighters were fighting the fire, and those who were hiding from the disaster, a man quietly withdrew from the crowd. He was in a state of confusion at this moment. How could he pay attention to him while sleeping?

In the imperial study, King Lijun was pacing back and forth.

The polished marble floor and the soles of Li Junwang's boots made a distinct sound, and the "da, da" sound was disturbing.

Looking at the sky, it is already the third watch, why is there no good news from outside the palace?

While King Li Jun was waiting anxiously, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a lowered male voice.

"The king of the county."

"Come in!" King Li ordered anxiously.

The man led the order to come in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said: "My lord, it's done."

King Li tightly clenched his sleeves: "Say it clearly!"

"Yes. Our people first moved their hands and feet in the well water of the palace, and then killed them. There were very few people who could resist, and the rest were stunned. The room was blocked by a fire, and then..."

"Who asked you this!" Li Junwang leaned forward, lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "I ask you, did that person get it!"

"Back to the king, he has been killed."

"killed?"

"yes!"

Li Junwang stood up slowly, and the smile on his face seemed to be in slow motion, slowly climbing to the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Junwang took a few steps back, slumped on the chair, and felt that his nerves that had been tense all day suddenly relaxed. Only then did he realize that he was already I was sweating profusely.

Li Qitian is dead?

Li Qitian, that self-proclaimed smart, arrogant guy, died just like that?

King Li Jun was very happy in his heart, and he laughed loudly. In the empty imperial study room, his laughter echoed like a bell.

The subordinate half-kneeled on the ground, and he was relieved to see King Li happy.

After a while, Li Junwang's laughter stopped abruptly as if someone had strangled his neck.

Seeing this, the subordinate immediately became nervous, "My lord?"

"No. You need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die." Li Junwang stood up and said, "Li Qitian is insidious and cunning. This king must make sure that he is indeed dead before he can rest assured. Prepare yourself, this king will leave the palace."

"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the gates of the palace are closed now."

"Such a big event has happened in the capital. My heart is attached to the courtiers. It is only human to be concerned about the fire in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. Is there anything I can't go to? Don't bother me, go get ready!"

"Yes!" The subordinate had no choice but to do it.
