Chapter 262: Arrow
The prince's expression was erratic, he was actually really filial to the queen, but he had to choose between his own great cause and his mother, and he was a little hesitant for a while.
The queen hadn't spoken since she woke up, she knew that she had fallen into the hands of Feng Shanyue, and she couldn't escape on her own. Now that Feng Shanyue was used as a shield in front of her, she could see the hesitation on the prince's face clearly.
The queen smiled slightly, her son knew that he was a soft-hearted person, especially lacking rigidity in major matters.
"Prince, do you remember how the queen mother taught you since childhood? You are the crown prince, the future king of Shang, and your father's position can only be inherited by you. From childhood to adulthood, you have been working towards this goal. Are you going to give up this dream for the sake of me, a useless queen mother?"
The crown prince had tears in his eyes, his queen mother was still thinking about his great cause at such a time, "Queen mother, I ......"
"Fire!
There was another commotion in the army, and it turned out that a fire suddenly broke out in the direction of Kushan, and half of the sky was red. The crown prince panicked, Kushan was his back, and with this food and money, he could drive these people to help him fight for the throne.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I forgot to tell you, Kushan has been burned down by my people, and it will be useless for you to rush over at this time!"
Seeing the prince's expression, Zimin hurriedly pulled his arm, "Brother Prince, cheer up, even if there is no Kushan, and there is a fief between me and Brother Chang, we will fully support you." β
The queen looked at the fire in the direction of Kushan and sighed, since Zizhao returned from the people, nothing went well for the prince. Now it is difficult to find a reservoir mountain, but it has been burned again. However, the most important thing at the moment is to cheer up the prince.
She said loudly: "Prince, the queen mother has never been tied up like this in her life, this is a great shame in her life, even if you rescue me, I will not live." Let your soldiers raise their arms and fight, they are only a few dozen people, and don't be intimidated by their bravado. β
Feng Shanyue didn't expect the queen to be quite calm at this time, not only did she regard death as home, but also leaked out the bottom of her side by the way.
She laughed, "Queen Niangniang, you are too naΓ―ve, what you see is only my vanguard, and the big army is still behind! Besides, with you in my hands, I am equivalent to having thousands of troops!"
"Hmph, ignorant boy, if the prince's great cause is stopped because of your little scheme, then he is not worthy to be my son!"
The queen took advantage of Feng Shanyue's inattention, and the whole person suddenly leaned forward, Feng Shanyue was startled, and intuitively took the dagger away from her neck. Under the bank of the river is the river, and the queen falls into the river, and before falling into the water, she screams, "Zimin, shoot arrows!"
"Whew......"
The bow and arrow that Zimin had been holding in his hand shot straight at Feng Shanyue with lightning speed. Feng Shanyue didn't want the queen's life originally, so before she could react from the fact that the queen suddenly fell into the water, Zimin's arrow had already hit her chest.
"Girl!"
Butterfly Dance screamed and pounced. However, another figure reacted faster than her. Before Feng Shanyue fell to the ground, he held her in his arms, "Shanyue!
"Prince?!"
Butterfly Dance looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, it turned out that Ming Zhao had arrived.
Ming Zhao ignored her, but coldly ordered: "General Leng, send a battle signal, I want the people opposite, except for Ziyun Zimin, the rest will not be left!"
At this time, it was already numb, and Butterfly Wu saw a very powerful general standing beside Ming Zhao, who took the horn from his entourage and blew the horn himself.
"Woo......"
As soon as the horn of "killing ......" sounded, the sound of killing suddenly broke out. I saw that a large number of troops suddenly came out of the mountains and forests opposite, and quickly surrounded Zimin's people and the people of the Black Wolf Clan.
Zimin immediately raised his long knife, "Protect the prince! everyone, follow me!"
A fierce battle began again, but the people on this side of the river did not have the heart to see the situation on the other side. Ming Zhao picked up the unconscious Feng Shanyue and said to General Leng: "This is handed over to you, if you can't completely annihilate the enemy, you can come and see you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Ming Zhao finished giving the order, he took Sugizuki into a carriage. Butterfly Dance hurriedly followed, and Ming Zhao glanced at her, but finally didn't drive her down.
"Let's go, go to Zhai Country immediately!"
This place is relatively close to Zhai Guo, and I hope to find a good doctor there.
Butterfly Dance was in tears as she wiped the blood from the corner of Feng Shanyue's mouth, "Girl, girl, how are you? Don't scare the slave!"
Ming Zhao looked solemn and didn't speak, just held Feng Shanyue's hand tightly and stared at her face. He hadn't seen her for more than two months, and he didn't expect that when they met again, she would be in this situation.
Butterfly Dance suddenly remembered something, "Prince...... Ah no, your majesty, Prince Chang has returned to the fiefdom to transfer troops, please send someone to stop him quickly!"
"Don't worry, he's been arrested!"
"It turns out that the king has long known that the prince is going to rebel, and he has known that this is the case, so the girl does not have to risk herself!"
Listening to Diewu's words, Ming Zhao's eyes were filled with painful remorse, yes, if she had rushed to the river half a minute earlier, at least she could have stopped her from standing up and negotiating with Ziyun's foolish approach. She didn't know the queen too well, the queen was a woman with a stronger heart than a man, and it was completely in vain to take her hostage.
A month later, the palace of Yindu.
As usual, Butterfly Dance came in early in the morning with warm water to clean Fengshanyue's face. Although Feng Shanyue has been unconscious, she knows that her master is a person who loves cleanliness, so she cleans her face, hands, and body very seriously every day.
"Girl, wake up quickly! You've been lying down for a month, and you're about to get your mark on this couch!"
Butterfly Dance kept chattering in her mouth, but she gently wiped Feng Shanyue's face in her hand, "Junshang's face is getting darker and darker day by day, if you don't wake up again, I don't need to cover his face when he goes out at night to do bad things, no one can see him anyway!"
"Ouch......" Feng Shanyue suddenly screamed in pain, "You girl is really, don't you know I'm injured, why are you telling me jokes?"
"Ah, girl, are you awake?" Butterfly Dance exclaimed in surprise, and then immediately cried out and threw herself on Feng Shanyue's arm, "The slave thought you would never wake up again!"
"I woke up early in the morning, and I was lying down to recuperate, who knew that as soon as you girl came in, she would be nagging and talking!"
"People...... People also listen to the king's orders, and he asks me to talk to you every day, just like usual. That way you will wake up. β
"Your Majesty?"
"Oh, yes," Butterfly said in a low voice, "girl, don't you know yet, Prince Zhao has already become a merchant king!"
Feng Shanyue nodded, "What else?"
"The crown prince was beheaded for treason, and with him were two princes, Zichang and Zimin. β
Feng Shanyue frowned, "What else?"
"Also," Butterfly Dance smiled, with tears on her face, "and you're already the queen of the Great Merchant!"
