Emperor’s Conquest - Chapter 60
Song Huai’en remained motionless like a mountain, his hands reached Qin Qin’s heart, but he sank a little.
“Back!” He shouted, the spear shot back, and pointed away behind him, and the warhorse took two steps back. Behind the two teams of heavy shield guards rushed forward and raised their shields to protect them.
At that moment, Qin Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up and broke off the rope that bound his hands, like an agile cub heading for the palace gate.
“Kill her!” Song Huai’en drank violently, taking his bow and arrow backhand.
My fingers were swollen, and the white feather wolf burst out of the air.
Behind them, the crossbow fired in unison, with arrows like rain, roaring through the air, shooting down the rebel giant shield, and making a bewitching sound.
For a time, the rebels were in chaos before they were pressed under the arrow rain, and they took shields to resist and had no time to fight back.
Qin Zhi had ran out two feet, and was suddenly tripped over by the twined rope. The sky arrows fell behind her two feet away.
“Qinzhi, run away—” I fluttered into the city and hissed.
Another round of arrow rain shot out behind him, blocking the rebels who wanted to pursue.
Qin Zhi struggled to jump up, took off the rope, and ran to the palace gate.
The gate of the palace slowly opened the front line, four iron clothes Wei Chi rushed out, under the cover of the sky and rain, rushed straight to the front. Pang Gui took the lead first, leaning over and grabbing Qin Zhi, holding the horse under control, and the native people stood up. The war horse hoared, and turned back to the gate of the palace. The remaining three riders then took care of each other. In front of the rebels, more than a dozen heavy shield armored men rushed out, rushed through the arrow rain, and hunted down.
The four rides entered like a gallop, and the palace gates closed suddenly, dropping a heavy lock.
There was a thunderous thunder behind him, and morale was insane.
I held on to the battlements, only to realize that my legs were weak, and I could barely breathe.
“Mother-” Before I calmed my mind, a childish scream came, and I was shocked to turn back.
Yuxi did not know when to break free, jumped to the battlements, and stood in the air.
For a moment, I just heard the children crying, but I opened my mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
The next guard rushed up.
I watched the guard’s hand catch her by the corner just one line away.
She looked up and smiled, Can Ruo Xia Hua, royal blue palace dress with wide sleeves floating, without hesitation, just turned into a splendid streamer in front of my eyes, flying down the city.
“Jade —” The heartbreaking roar came down from the city, and Song Huai’en’s voice sounded awful.
Did you hear it, Jade?
You can hear him crying.
The navy blue streamer still flashed in front of me. I took a step and reached out to pull it, but suddenly fell into darkness.
Streamer, streamer … through my hand, I can’t help it.
Yuxi turned back with a smile, her eyebrows were picturesque, and gradually disappeared into the mist, looking far away.
No, I have a lot to tell you, forbid you to leave like this.
Jade, silly girl, how can you not understand-he is a general who walks through Yang in a hundred steps. If he wants to kill you, how can he pass away with an arrow, that arrow just doesn’t want you to show weakness.
After all, you are his wife, and he is also your beloved person. Although you are not in love with each other, but you are all right, why do n’t you believe him?
Just for that arrow, it will make you desperate for life, and your heart will die, and you will leave everyone like this, and watch your children ache.
Hosta, hello.
I hate the sound of calling her name, but I breathe in my throat and cough violently.
“Princess, the princess is awake!”
The figure in front of him floated, and the curtain was embroidered with curtains.
He was clearly awake, as if he still saw the sapphire streamer linger.
In my heart, I can’t remember what happened, just knowing that Jade is gone, not even her.
She walked like this, forcing me to take over this irresistible responsibility, making me always guilty, always remorseful, and always treating your children kindly.
I covered my face and grinned, as if a pair of soft little hands covered my hands, with a little warmth in my palm. “Mother-in-law, don’t cry.”
I was shocked, and I looked at the girl in front of Su Yi. She just called my mother-in-law, and Qin Zhi finally called me mother-in-law.
Qin Zhi lay beside the bed, his face still a little pale, looking at me anxiously, and behind the palace female doctors.
I looked at the little girl in front of me and reached out to touch her thin cheek.
She laughed, but her tears rolled down.
“Have you hurt you?” I was busy holding up her small face and wiping away her tears.
Qin Zhi shook her head, hugged me with her arms open, and wept loudly.
That day, Aunt Xu and Ayue took them to Ci’an Temple, and Mrs. Guangci immediately opened the Houshandi Palace and let them hide.
That was where the Empress Dowager Xuande was enshrined, and it was also the largest secret place of the royal family. Everyone in the world knows that the Empress Dowager Xuande was buried in Huiling, but the ancestor of the ancestors took the throne and executed his mother’s family. The Empress Dowager Xunde has since become a monk, avoiding the temple, leaving a vow to death, buried in the royal tomb without face. The ancestor obeyed the Queen Mother Xuande’s last wish, but could not bear to incinerate, and eventually left the Empress Dowager body and secretly built the Ci’an Temple ground palace to be buried.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu and A Yue were blocked halfway, waiting to reach the foot of the mountain.
They and her team hurriedly hid in the farmhouse, and the chase was out of reach.
When Aunt Xu was unprepared, Qin Zhi suddenly ran out of the backyard and drove the chase far away, allowing them to escape.
I took a breath and stared at her, “Qin Zhi, aren’t you afraid?”
“Aunt Xu is old, Aunt Yue needs to take care of her siblings.” Qin Zhi bit her lip, her eyes shining at me, “I have martial arts! My father taught me how to defend myself …”
With her eyes darkened, she lowered her head, and she seemed to think of her father and mother who had died while fighting.
If this child can be born in ordinary people, grow up safely, how happy it should be.
I’ll watch her for a while, and hold her tightly in silence.
“I ran very fast, right?” She suddenly looked up and looked at me eagerly. “I can untie the rope. The knot they tied will not stump me. My father taught me how to tie prey!”
Her eyes were proud and dazzling.
“Qin Zhi is very brave, just as brave as your father and mother.” I smiled and stared at her eyes. “They look at you in the sky and see your bravery today, they must be extremely proud.”
Qin Zhi smiled, focused her head, buried her face in my chest, and the thin shoulders shook slightly.
I touched her hair silently, and vowed secretly in my heart. From now on, I will never let this child be half wronged, but I will do everything I can to give her everything she wants!
I handed over three sons and daughters of Jade to a reliable old man to look after.
The second son and the young girl are still ignorant of their young age, do not understand where the mother went, just crying.
The five-year-old eldest son Song Junwen was vaguely sensible, and saw me, like a cub, rushed straight up and was hurriedly grabbed.
In the face of the child’s hateful eyes, I could not speak, and any words became weak at this moment.
This is the first time that I dare not look directly into a person’s eyes. Under such eyes, my heart gradually cools down.
“Take care of these children. No one can approach them without my order.”
Junwen was still struggling, and the two uncles almost pulled him back.
I turned around exhaustedly, and maybe I shouldn’t have appeared in front of him again.
There was a cry of pain behind me, and I turned suddenly, seeing that my wrists were dripping with blood, and Junwen rushed to me and slammed at me.
“You killed my mother!” Junwen rushed to me. The five-year-old boy was still weak but kicked at me like he was crazy.
The guard came to kick him away, and he still beat and scolded him.
I was lifted up by my uncles, sweating coldly, and my chest was throbbing, almost preventing me from standing.
The young **** the side was frightened and burst into tears, and even the four-year-old boy was crying.
“That’s right, I’m a wicked person.” I looked at him coldly. “Song Junwen, if you make another noise, I will kill your brother; if you refuse to eat, I will kill your sister!”
Junwen stayed suddenly, pale, and his chest was violently undulating, but he no longer kicked.
I smiled bitterly and turned away from him without looking at him again.
In the far Zhaoyang Hall, the lights were swaying, and there were faint figures coming and going.
Since I remembered, this Zhaoyang Temple has not been deserted.
Aunt said, Zhaoyang Temple is the most beautiful and beautiful prison cage in the world.
The court lady helped me carefully, “Will the princess return to the palace to rest?”
I looked up at the dazzling Hehan in the night sky, and it was so clear for several days.
Counting, the rapid speed of the march with Xiao Yu, without rain blocking, should be reached soon.
I didn’t hesitate anymore, and said lightly, “Go to Zhaoyang Temple.”
Hu Yao was so skinny that she was sitting in front of the dressing table, loosening her silk, and let Gong Yan comb her hair and prepare for bed.
After seeing me, left and right Gongzhen bowed and saluted, and retired silently.
Hu Yao turned his head and gave me a stern look at me. He smiled indifferently, looking indifferent, and turned to look in the mirror.
I went behind her and looked at her in the mirror.
Her non-fat powder face turned paler and paler under the lamp, her eyes were dimmed, and her eyes were dimmed like a pool of standing water.
In the lonely and dark Zhaoyang Hall, there was only me and her, separated by a huge bronze mirror, facing each other coldly.
I stretched out my hand and held a strand of hair through her fingers, as silky and silky. She looked at me indifferently, just as the palace man said-the queen had lost her mind and remained silent all day long, except for the emperor, who knew no one else.
I raised my hand, the short sword at the bottom of the sleeve reached her long neck, and the green edge was like water.
In the mirror, her pupils shrank like stagnant water.
“I also know that I’m afraid of death. I can’t see that I’m really crazy.”
Hu Yao’s expression changed, his eyes lit up a bit, cold as cold.
Others believed she would lose her mind, but I didn’t believe it. Hu Yao and I are the same kind of people, even if they die, they still have to keep their eyes open.
I don’t believe she will escape in such a cowardly manner. The so-called total mental loss is just a way for her to survive.
She is different from Ziyi. She is afraid of dying. She still wants to live and maybe want to avenge me.
“Hu Guanglie is safe and sound, and is returning to Beijing with Wang Ye.” The sword edge in my hand approached two inches and stuck to her skin. “Hu’s loyal guardian, the former sin can be avoided, and the rich and glorious will be free from worry. You can go with peace of mind. . “
Hu Yao fixedly looked at me, and suddenly looked up and laughed, “Congratulations to Grandpa for me, to congratulate his great cause, to unite the mountains and rivers … You have achieved your imperial cause, and I went to Huangquan to be a pure husband and wife! Sincere grudges! Liang Qing, never meet! “
It ’s a good thing to never see each other.
Hu Yao, who knows me, would have been a confidant if it weren’t for the world.
I even put a sword in my sheath and smiled, “Huang Quan is far away. You don’t need to go there. You can also be a clean couple.”
Hu Yao Huoran opened his eyes and looked at me.
“Forget your identity, surname, relatives, and past. From now on, there will be no more Hu Yao and son-in-law in the world, only ordinary couples in the folk.” I gazed at her slowly, word by word, “Various grudges, It ’s all about the past, the mountains are long, the mountains are long, and there is no love or hate. “
Hu Yao stood up and shivered slightly. “Aren’t you afraid that I will get revenge, don’t be afraid to stay in trouble, and ruin your great cause?”
I smiled, “I can release you today, and naturally I can kill you the other day.”
She didn’t say a word, her eyes were like a cone, as if she wanted to see me through.
I also looked at her quietly, looking at the woman whose son I had taken away, the woman who would take away Zi Zi and spend the rest of his life with him.
“Even if you let us go, I won’t forgive you all my life.” She stubbornly raised her face.
“I don’t need anyone to forgive me.” I laughed. In the face of such a transparent woman, I could tell the truth frankly, “Let you go, but because you are the wife of a son-in-law. How difficult it is in the second half of life, only you I can accompany him to protect him, but it’s a shame that he lives for me. “
“You would rather betray the Lord for his sake?” Hu Yao’s eyes changed, and the complexity was unknown. “Will the Lord allow you to let us go?”
I frowned and didn’t want to explain more to her, only lightly said, “The foundation of Wang’s business for many years is still somewhat useful, and even Lord Wang may not be able to control everything. After tonight, it will be overturned. The fate of the queen. You just need to remember that you will never be Hu Yao again, and he will not be a son. “
I looked at her coldly, “If you can’t forget … it won’t be difficult to remove a couple of husbands and wives.”
Hu Yaotongren contracted, thin lips clenched, “You can let us go and let us go, why can’t you let a child out that day?”
I smiled slightly and felt exhausted. “If I had left the little prince that day, I would have leaked this arrangement early, but I still have the vitality of today? I tried my best to force Ziyi to survive, all for today.”
For this day, I have waited for a long time-I promised him that one day he would be free, let him escape this cold palace, hide incognito, far away from the rivers and lakes. “
I had longed for the day when I would retreat with the loved one and settle down in the mountains. There is no blood, no conspiracy, no imperial plan, only I and his elders hold hands.
This wish, hidden in an unknown place in my heart, has never had a chance to realize it.
Hu Yao’s expression shook, and he fixedly looked at me. His eyes were complex and changing. After all, he just sighed, “In the past, you betrayed him for the Lord, but now you betray him for him … There is such a ruthless woman in the world!”
“Wang Ye never betrayed anyone.” I slowly raised my hand and held my chest. “I am only loyal to my heart.”
Hu Yao startled, looked up at me.
I have already won all kinds of honors in my life, born in such a court, married to such a husband, have such a good child, and will also achieve the name of the founding queen … What kind of regret to treat me, if there is any regret, But it is a secret desire long hidden in the bottom of my heart, yearning beyond the palace wall, under the white clouds, as far as the rivers and lakes, a dreamlike empty flower, an untouchable dream.
This is also my aunt, the arrogant and noble woman in the back seat of all generations, who regrets her lifelong wish.
In the past, Taizu Aojun took the throne and killed the former royal family. In the later years, the princes fought for the inheritance, causing **** palaces and horrible disasters. Taizu was deeply apprehensive and worried about the cycle of retribution. In the future, his children and grandchildren will repeat the disaster of the previous dynasty. During the four years of St. Emperor Taizu, the Emperor Taizu ordered the rebuilding of the West Palace, building the 12th floor pavilion of the third palace and the ninth palace. However, under the cover of this palace, the emperor’s emperor painstakingly left a path for future generations to build a secret road at the West Pavilion of Chongming Palace, leading directly to a hidden safe place outside the palace to avoid water and fire swordsmen. As a last resort, save your life.
This secret has only been passed down through the mouths of the emperors of all ages, and has been guarded faithfully by the secret history of the inner court who has been loyal to the royal family for generations.
When it was passed to Emperor Shunhui, the secret fell into the hands of Queen Mother Mingkang.
The Empress Dowager Ming Kang is by far the most prominent female ancestor in my family. She assisted the two emperors, calmed down the chaos of the kings, consolidated the authority of the clan chiefs, and pushed the entire family to the top. From her generation, the secret of Chongming Xige has become the secret of the Wang family. My father didn’t pass this secret to me until he left. At that time, I didn’t take it seriously, and I was disdainful of Emperor Taizu’s careful construction of such a secret way to escape.
Until Zizi ascended the throne and became prone to chaos, seeing that he was struggling in such a difficult situation, I finally gradually understood the hard work of Emperor Taizu and the lonely state of mind in his old age. This secret way is not only connected to the front line of vitality, but also the emperor on the top of power, yearning for freedom.
At the end of the road is freedom and rebirth.
