Queen Mother, what will she do?

I turned around, walked slowly to the Queen Mother and squatted down, looking at her pale face and panic expression from bottom to top.

I have never seen such a Queen Mother. People who recite the Buddha's name rarely feel so helpless, because if they have faith in their hearts, they can rely on their faith to have the ability and wisdom to overcome difficulties, and have tranquility and peace to face setbacks, no matter what they encounter.

No matter what you do, you will always have the last bit of persistence in your heart.

But like this, she seems to have lost her own support, like a rootless and helpless floating duck floating in the vast world.

"The Queen Mother..."

I called her gently, and she looked at me, but her eyes seemed empty and she didn't see me. After a long silence, she said slowly: "You go out first."

"The Queen Mother."

"Aijia, I want to be alone for a while."

"..."

"You go down."

At this time, maybe she really needs to be alone. When people need to make difficult choices, in fact, the choice is not the most painful. The pain is the "giving up" relative to the choice. I looked at the bed again

The man glanced at her, stood up slowly, gave her a silent kiss, turned around and walked out.

As soon as I left the king's tent, I saw a familiar figure standing in front.

Yes, Liu Qinghan.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be waiting for me, but he did not look at the king's tent. Instead, he turned his back to me and looked at the valley mouth in the distance, where the clouds in the sky rendered the huge gap like an ink painting, faintly

You can also see some figures walking around, it's Sun Jingfei's people.

I couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment. I just looked at his broad shoulders, which were drooping slightly. It seemed that something heavy was pressing on him, but it was invisible and was about to crush him.

He collapsed, but there was no way for people to see his pain and tiredness.

It was clear that the slap I had just given was so vicious, but now seeing the back like this, I still couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in my heart.

And he, as if he felt me, slowly turned around.

When I saw his face, which was as calm as a lake without any ripples, but with faint red fingerprints, my heart twitched and started to cramp again.

This time, it’s a little different from before.

I slowly walked up to him, looked at that side of his cheek, and finally couldn't help but reach out and stroke his dark cheek with my trembling fingertips. I don't know if it was because I was shaking so hard or it was just an illusion.

The moment I touched him, the skin under my fingertips trembled.

I gently said: "Does it still hurt?"

He was silent for a long time, and when he spoke, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "What about you?"

"..." I was stunned for a moment.

And when he said these two words, he seemed to be in pain himself, turning his face away and no longer looking at me. I only felt the tip of my nose was sore, and my eyes were a little blurry, so I could only stare with my eyes wide open.

He choked and said: "Qinghan."

"..."

"Stop it."

"..."

"Whether it hurts or not, it has passed a long time ago and I have forgotten it." My hand slowly closed his cheek and asked him to turn his face to me: "What I care about is who you are.

Such a person."

If you are not a good person...

If you don't have those good qualities that made my heart beat...

What do I love about you?

I once told him clearly that everyone has painful memories, but when those pains are spoken out, they are actually no longer painful, because they have passed and are all memories, and more importantly, people

He can still meet someone better, someone who can make him forget those painful memories of the past.

I once thought that he was the better one who could make me stand in the ashes of time and face everything in the future bravely.

But if he continues to sink like this, if he ignores the safety of his family and country and only acts based on one person's joy and anger, then will he still be my "better person"?

"Qinghan, do you remember Liu San'er?"

"..."

"Do you remember what kind of person he is?"

"..."

"When he was in the fishing village, it was so difficult, but he never blamed anyone; I hurt him like that, and he was reluctant to let me get in the rain; he would rather work in a brothel than listen to Xiangjin, because he wanted to become

A better person."

The more I spoke, the more his eyes flickered, and his whole body was trembling.

I took a step forward and looked up at his flashing eyes——

"You're in a better place, why haven't you become a better person?"

He trembled violently and looked at me with wide eyes.

Why haven't you become a better person?

This sentence was like a burst of thunder, thundering over his head. He was stunned and looked at me in shock. At this moment, many lights flashed in his eyes, as if there were many contradictions struggling to tear him apart.

He, I looked at him in a daze, and suddenly something seemed to burst out of his eyes: "Light, I——"

"Master Liu."

Before he finished speaking, two soldiers suddenly walked out from beside him and saluted him respectfully: "Master Taifu, please invite Master Liu to come over to discuss matters."

Qinghan was shaken violently, as if he suddenly woke up from a dream. He looked back at them, then at me, and his brows suddenly knitted together.

My heart also sank.

His face was instantly covered with a layer of frost, as if turning over a book, and even the rippling light in his eyes condensed into ice in an instant. When he looked back at me, there was no trace of warmth, only a cold expression.

He smiled and said: "I am not a better person to begin with."

At this moment, I just felt a little exhausted all over my body, and looked into his cold eyes: "Qinghan."

"Stop talking."

"..."

"I'm afraid Fu Badai taught you these words, right?"

"..."

I frowned when I heard this - Fu Badai? Why did he suddenly get involved with Fu Badai again?

He had already turned around and walked towards Shen Gongye's tent. After taking two steps, he turned back to look at me and sneered: "Since you think everything Fu Badai said is right, then listen to him carefully."

If so."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After saying that, he turned his head, gave the two soldiers some instructions, and left without looking back.

I stood there, unable to recover for a while. I just watched his back quickly disappear in front, and the two soldiers had already walked over and gestured to me politely: "Master Yue,

Please."

I didn't expect that he would be so decisive. At this point, he could no longer listen to anything.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help biting my lower lip, trying desperately to use the physical pain to forget the pain in my chest, but I knew from the beginning that it wouldn't work at all, and the pain would not be reduced at all.<

/p>

In this world, some people are ignorant, some people are ignorant, and they slide into the abyss step by step. Such people make people feel pitiful; but I never thought that some people would be so clear-headed and look at themselves

Sinking.

It’s so sober that it makes people feel hateful!

Thinking of this, I clenched my fists hard, turned around and walked into the queen's tent.

They all seemed to be still worried about me. Chang Qing was sitting beside the bed, gently stroking Nian Shen's head with one hand, frowning slightly. When she saw me walking in, a flash of light suddenly flashed across her gloomy face.

Guang Xiide quickly stood up and came over: "Qingying!"

"The Queen."

"Are you okay? He - he didn't make it difficult for you, right?"

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but feel sad again, and gently shook my head.

When I shook my head like this, Guan'er and Shuixiu immediately felt relieved, but Chang Qing's eyebrows did not relax. Looking at the slightly red corners of my eyes, she thought for a while and ordered: "You guys go over there and get some heat."

Here comes the tea."

As she said that, she took my hand and led me to the other side of the tent to sit down. I just stood beside her and didn't sit down. She didn't force me and said, "What's going on?"

"..."

"What did he do to you?"

"..." I gritted my teeth and shook my head.

"Qingying..."

Looking at her concerned eyes and expression, I just choked and said: "Queen, don't ask any more about his affairs."

Chang Qing looked at me, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "How could I not ask?"

"..."

"His business is not just your business."

"..." I raised my head slightly and looked at her. Looking into her sober eyes, I understood. I swallowed my sadness and said, "Shen Gong, I have drafted an edict to abdicate."

"What?!" Chang Qing was shocked and stood up: "He really -"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"..." This time, she couldn't sit still. Her dignified and beautiful face turned pale for a moment, and her hands kept wringing, making her fingers rattle. For a long time,

He gritted his teeth and said, "He's so brave!"

At this point, I lowered my voice and said softly: "Queen, the Emperor's Jade Seal..."

She turned her head and glanced at me, immediately understood, but gently shook her head.

My heart also sank.

Pei Yuanhao really didn't hand the jade seal to her.

Then, Shen Gongye really guessed correctly, and the jade seal is really in the hands of the Queen Mother?

If so, then——

My eyes slowly moved outside, surrounded by thick tents, as if there was an endless night covering all the light in front of me, and I didn't know when I could get around it.

Only by covering layers of night can we reach the end of the night...

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Kuan'er and Shuixiu were huddled in the corner, although they didn't dare to breathe a word, but I heard their worried sighs several times that night. Just after midnight and before dawn, I heard faint movements outside.
p>

In fact, it was not peaceful outside this night.

Today is also crucial for Shen Gongyou. Of course, he will not let down his guard. The whole night, the patrolling footsteps of the imperial soldiers outside have not stopped. Until now, there are at least four teams around Chang Qing's tent.

Soldier.

We have nowhere to escape.

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Even Nian Shen woke up early and stood by the bed dressed neatly. Such a young child had already sensed the surrounding atmosphere and changes, like a little rabbit thrown into a wolf's den. Although he was hungry,

The wolf hasn't shown its fangs yet, but it already has a sense of life-and-death crisis.

I walked over, knelt down and carefully touched his shoulders: "Your Highness, are you scared?"

His little face was pale, obviously frightened, but he was surprisingly stubborn and refused to say anything. He just looked at me and said, "Aunt Qing, is Father really going to be okay?"

I raised my head and glanced at Chang Qing.

Last night, Chang Qing used these words to coax him to sleep.

But I don’t know if this is a lie or how I should face this child.

At this time, Chang Qing, fully dressed, also came over, gently caressed Nian Shen's heart, and said: "Nian Shen, no matter what happens to your father, you should be strong yourself."

"Mother..."

"Because you are your father's child!"

"..."

Chang Qing looked down at him with a faint smile on her lips: "The Queen Mother and Aunt Qing still need your protection."

After hearing these words, the expression on Nian Shen's face suddenly became a little serious. He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head and looked at us, his cheeks slightly red: "Mother,

I know.”

"..."

"I will definitely be brave, and I will definitely protect my mother and Aunt Qing!"

Seeing him puffing up his little chest, as if he really wanted to stand in front of us, resisting all dangers and pains, I felt relieved at this moment from my originally worried mood.

I also gently stroked his soft hair, and at this moment, there was a burst of heavy footsteps outside. I frowned sensitively, stood up in a hurry, and when I turned around, I heard someone outside.

Said: "I respectfully invite the Queen."

"..."

Yes, Shen Gongye’s person.

Chang Qing and I looked at each other, and her face slowly became serious. She took Nian Shen's hand and handed it to mine, and then said softly: "Let's go."

I gritted my teeth, looked down at Xiao Nianshen who was looking up at us, and nodded: "Yes."

When I opened the tent and went out, I realized that it was already dawn.

As soon as you look up, you can see the sky over the valley mouth, as if it has been splashed with freehand brushwork. The large clouds in the sky are burned crimson, as if the whole day is being burned.

Heaven and earth are furnaces, all things are copper; Yin and Yang are charcoal, and creation is work.

Those who practice are all the living beings who are as ordinary as ruminants.

When we walked to the door, we saw the huge open space in front of the king's tent. All the accompanying civil and military officials were already waiting there, and the entire camp in the Juma Valley had been protected by the royal guards, or in other words -

—Surround.

There is no way out.

I glanced at Chang Qing, she nodded to me and walked out.

Although the current situation is not good for the emperor and the empress, and she has been under house arrest by Shen Gongyou for a long time, she is still perfunctory in terms of face. The soldiers along the way knelt down one after another. When they reached the king's tent, all the civil and military officials saw it.

When he saw her, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "Wei ministers pay homage to the queen, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Get flat."

Chang Qing raised her hand lightly, and the ministers stood up one after another.

I have a vague impression of a few of them, they seem to be the disciples of Grand Master Chang. As soon as they saw the Queen, they immediately looked here with anxious expressions. Chang Qing also glanced at them and only nodded lightly.

.

At this moment, Shen Gongyi had already walked out of the crowd and raised his hand towards Chang Qing: "Old minister, I pay my respects to the Queen."

"Master Taifu." Chang Qing looked at him coldly: "The emperor has been injured and recuperated these days, and it has been hard for Master Taifu."

"The old minister has been greatly favored by the third generation of the royal family, so he should devote himself to death and die."

Chang Qing and I frowned slightly when we heard this sentence.

What he just said was not a favor from the emperor, but a favor from the royal family for three generations - this sentence already sounded a little wrong.

I glanced at Chang Qing, but she still kept her composure, with a faint smile on her lips: "Master Shen is indeed the emperor's minister."

"I am ashamed of myself and dare not speak out. However, if evil and sycophants are in power in the court, I will be shattered to pieces, but I will not regret it!"

"Oh?" Chang Qing raised her eyebrows—evil?

A person like Shen Gongyi must be thoughtful when speaking, and he will not be aimless. His purpose today is known to everyone in Sima Zhao's mind, but apart from being an "evil sycophant", where can we start talking about it?

I glanced at him and saw a faint, almost inaudible smile on that old and cunning face. Then he stood up and bowed to the king's tent: "Welcome to the Queen Mother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked solemnly, Chang Qing also turned around, and saw that the bright yellow curtain of the king's tent was carefully lifted up, and the Queen Mother slowly walked out of it.

The sun was like fire, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds. The crimson sunshine shone in the valley, dyeing every face a bright red. However, the Queen Mother's face was still pale, so pale under such fiery sunshine.

Almost transparent, even compared to when I saw her before, even the last trace of blood and vitality was gone.

She and I are not too far apart, and my eyesight is not bad, but at this moment, I don’t know why, but I just feel that the familiar face looks so blurry, even a little unclear.

After this night, I have no idea what the Queen Mother was thinking or deciding. Now, I can’t even see the slightest sign on her face. The feeling of emptiness in her heart and hands makes me

I was a little uneasy. At this time, everyone around me had already knelt down and bowed down, so I could only hold Nian Shen and bow down to the ground.

The Queen Mother just looked at the scene in front of her calmly, her gray eyes without any emotion: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

When everyone got up from the ground, Shen Gongyou waved his hand, and an entourage immediately brought a chair and placed it behind the Queen Mother. She didn't say anything, and just sat down calmly.

Although there is nothing wrong with welcoming the Queen Mother, Chang Qing is still the Queen after all. Even if she cannot sit down, she should be arranged to sit at a table. Shen Gongye actually completely ignored her and let her stand like this. I couldn't help but sweat.

Chang Qing, however, was calm and walked slowly to the Queen Mother: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at her, with a faint curl of her lips: "Are you scared?"

Chang Qing smiled: "In the future, I will also learn from the Queen Mother and recite Amitabha more often."

The Queen Mother also smiled, waved her hand gently towards her, then looked at Shen Gongye and said, "Teacher Shen, why did you invite the Ai family here?"

Shen Gongyi took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, I risked my sin to ask the Queen Mother to come out of the account, and summoned all the civil and military ministers. There is a major event to be announced."

"Oh? What's the big deal?"

My heart suddenly tightened - of course I knew what the big deal he was talking about was.

But, what about the Queen Mother?

How did she decide?

The atmosphere was still a bit dull. Everyone was looking at the few people in the center of the river valley, who seemed to be the center of the storm in front of me. But I couldn't help but raise my eyes and looked around, only to find that the person who was supposed to follow Shen

The respectful and familiar figure did not appear here.

Where did he go?

The doubts in my heart had just arisen when I heard Shen Gongyi say: "However, before announcing this important event, I have one more thing to do."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

I also looked at him a little strangely - he had been preparing for so long, wasn't it just for this big thing? Why did he interrupt it with other things now?

Is there anything else more important than this?

Just when I was wondering, I heard a loud noise coming from the other end of the crowd. The civil and military ministers around me all looked over and backed away.

And when I looked up, I saw Liu Qinghan.

He walked with a solemn look on his face. A jade-colored hairband tied up his long hair high, revealing his clear forehead and bright eyes. Although he was wearing a dark blue gown, it was simple, but somewhat restrained and gorgeous.

Feeling, the same jade-colored belt tightly tied his slim waist, making him look more like a waist and a back, and his figure was strong.

His steps were also vigorous, and he walked over quickly. I saw several soldiers behind him at a glance, and I was stunned.

They were actually escorting Nangong Lizhu.

"...!"

What's going on?!

I was immediately taken aback and couldn't help but look back at Chang Qing. She was also obviously shocked. She looked at Nangong Lizhu with her eyes wide open. Her hands were bound and she was struggling. Her neat black hair now had a few messy strands.

Scattered.

She gritted her teeth and looked at the person in front of her fiercely, then at us.

This - what the hell is going on?

Could it be that she was the one who was talking about what Shen Gongye said?

Chang Qing had already stepped forward at this time and said seriously: "Taifu Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Gongyou was slightly shy, looked back at her, and said with a smile: "Empress, I have just said that I have been favored by the royal family for three generations. If there is an evil sycophant in power, I will definitely fight with my own body."
p>

"Evil sycophant? Do you think Concubine Li is an evil sycophant?"

At this time, Nangong Lizhu had been pulled into the middle by those people. Although her clothes were still neat, her hands were tied and her black hair was messy. For such a most beautiful woman in the celestial dynasty, she was really embarrassed. I even felt that

, she seemed to be even more embarrassed than when she was seriously injured and dripping with blood when we met her outside Hongye Temple.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Gongye and said: "Shen Gongye, you are so brave, you dare to be disrespectful to me!"
