Xia Qing knew the legend of the ghost-faced general.

At that time, when she and Mo Chen, Qu Ziyan and his party were in the desert, Mo Chen told her the legend of that man. With him on the frontier, no country will dare to invade.

He has always been the god of war in the hearts of the people of the Wind Country, and he is a god-like existence. Such a person was handed over to the battlefield and the frontier for the first half of his life.

Cheng Guang's ban left him there forever, and he could not return to the capital until Cheng Qing ascended the throne. This has always been the worry of the superiors, and characters like the ghost-faced general are no longer something that can be described by the word "shock master". He is a threat to the rights of a superior person.

Cheng Qing has always cherished talents, for such a god of war, he is not taboo, but makes good use of it, allowing him to run all over the country's borders. A few years ago, the Moon Kingdom violated the border, and it was the timely appearance of the Ghost Face General that calmed down this uproar, and also made the king of the Moon Country dispel the idea of continuing to invade.

This time, this figure who should have appeared at the border stood safely at the door of the main hall, even if Xia Qing didn't understand it, he should have guessed who lost and who won today's battle.

She tilted her head to see Cheng Si's expression. Cheng Si was very calm, he stared at the ghost-faced general at the door, there was no big expression on his face, and his neck was still bleeding outward, but he didn't care about it and let it flow there.

"Is this the surprise of the royal brother?"

He finally spoke.

"It's not a surprise, it's just a necessity. Cheng Si, you have your own Zhang Liang plan, but I have my ladder over the wall. None of us are losing. ”

Cheng Qing no longer has a sword in his hand, and the whole person has less of a sense of oppression and more majesty.

"Minister, I've seen the emperor. ”

The man standing at the door knelt on one knee and saluted Cheng Qing. The light shone on the ghost-faced general's body, causing a faint halo to exude all around him, which made his evil aura sharply reduced.

"Get up. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

The man stood up suddenly, Xia Qing couldn't help but move back, it was fine for him to kneel there on one knee, but now as soon as he stood up, Xia Qing was uncomfortable with that strong sense of oppression. She stared, trying to see the man's face, but the light outside was so strong that she could only see the man's outline.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have been resolved, and several leaders are currently at the door, at your discretion. ”

The Ghost-faced General's voice matched his name very well, and he was cold and did not have any trace of emotion. Not even the ups and downs of tone. He just stood there, his aura and light radiating from him.

"It's already settled?

When Cheng Qing said this, his eyes looked in the direction of Cheng Si from time to time. He turned the jade wrench on his thumb, as if smiling. Completely different from him just now, he looks calmer and more terrifying now.

"Yes, now only the ......... in the temple remains."

"General, come in. ”

Cheng Qing turned around and faced Cheng Si Taifu and the others. He coldly swept the Queen Mother's face, and his eyes stayed on Concubine Li's face for a moment. Concubine Li naturally felt his eyes as well, and simply lowered her head. She didn't want to look at his expression at all, not at all.

"Taifu, the Queen Mother. One of you is my teacher, and the other is my adoptive mother. Reasonably, you are the closest people to me, but what you think about every day is not how to get close to me, but how to take my life. Now, I give you a chance to explain. ”

"Hongu doesn't need much of an explanation. The other way around is the other way around. If you want to kill, you can kill it. This matter is all the idea of this palace alone. It has nothing to do with them, I forced them to join. You let them go. ”

The Queen Mother let go of the Taifu's hand and turned around as if she had thought of something.

She smiled suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and she looked even more beautiful and moving.

Yang Yuandao. For so many years, you have been tolerating me. Even now, you are helping me in the event of rebellion. I'm not done with this kindness. Those young things, I was too stupid to understand you. I hope you can forgive me. ”

She took Taifu's hand and patted it gently,

"In this life, we missed it. But in the next life, let's not miss it, okay?"

The smile on her face did not decrease, but became brighter.

She turned her head and looked at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was also looking at her, looking at the plain hand she held in Taifu's hand.

"I'm sorry kid. Before, it was me who lied to you. I did have a past with your father, but since he married your mother, and since I married the first emperor, we don't have that kind of relationship. Never again. So, I beg your pardon. I found someone to hand you a note that day, but I was worried that you would not cooperate with your father.........."

"He's my father, if I don't cooperate with him, then what will he do? My dad ...... You won't hand me that kind of note. He is, he would rather be in danger himself than let me be in danger........"

"You do. Sorry kid........."

"Queen Mother, don't play the image of a good mother there. ”

Cheng Qing's voice sounded, bringing the atmosphere here to a low point again.

Concubine Li looked up and saw that Cheng Qing's eyes had never left her.

"Queen Mother, in the past, I was ignorant, but now, I can understand you. Where did the man of the emperor's family come from........

She didn't dodge either, and directly intertwined with Cheng Qing's eyes.

"Good boy, if there is any way, don't give up, there are some things, once you give up, it will be for life. ”

The Queen Mother withdrew her hand and smiled at Concubine Li, her eyes a little moist.

It seems that tears will flow down at any moment.

"Cheng Si, it's the queen mother who is bad, everything is the queen mother's bad, don't blame me. ”

Facing Cheng Si, the Queen Mother didn't say much.

The two of them, mother and son, don't seem to have so many words, more often, they understand each other in their hearts. Whether it was before or now, even if the relationship between the Queen Mother and him has always been like this, cold and simple, but when he knew that the Queen Mother's life might be in danger, he still stood up for the first time, and this throne that he had no intention of fighting for has also become a position he must fight for in order to save his mother.

"If I really want to blame you, I would have blamed you many years ago. Now, for the queen mother, the son has only guilt. ”

The wound on Cheng Si's neck finally stopped gurgling and bleeding.

It's just that his clothes still look terrible and full of blood.

He wiped his hands with his sleeve, and slowly raised his hand and put it on the face of the Queen Mother.

"Don't cry, you'll be fine. ”

Gently, he wiped away the tears from the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes and smiled again.

"With such a beautiful face, it doesn't look good when you cry. ”
