cpa300_4(); Queen Mother, what will she do?

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

I have never seen such a queen mother, and people who chant Buddha rarely have such helplessness, because with faith in their hearts, they can rely on faith to have the ability and wisdom to overcome difficulties, have peace and peace to face setbacks, and no matter what they encounter, they will have the last bit of perseverance in their hearts.

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

"The Queen Mother's ......"

I called her softly, and she looked at me, but those eyes seemed to be empty, and she didn't see me, and after a long silence, she said slowly, "You go out first." ”

"Queen Mother. ”

"Mourning home, I want to be alone and quiet. ”

“……”

"Go down. ”

At this time, maybe she really needs to be alone and quiet, when people need to make difficult choices, in fact, the choice is not the most painful, the painful is relative to the choice of "giving up". I glanced at the man on the bed again, slowly stood up, and with a silent bow to her, I turned and walked out......

As soon as he came out of the king's tent, he saw a familiar figure standing in front.

Yes, Liu Qinghan.

Looking at him, he seemed to be waiting for me, but he didn't look at the king's tent, but 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, and faintly you could see some figures moving, it was Sun Jingfei's person.

I couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment, just looked at his originally broad shoulders, slightly drooping down, as if something heavy was pressing on his body, but it was invisible, about to crush him, but there was no way for people to see his pain and tiredness.

Obviously, I slapped me so viciously just now, but now when I see such a back, I can't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart.

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

As soon as I saw his face, calm as a lake without a ripple, but faintly with some red fingerprints, my heart twitched and cramped again.

This time, it's a little different.

I walked slowly in front of him, looked at his cheek, and finally couldn't help but reach out and caress his dark cheeks with trembling fingertips, I don't know if it was because I was trembling so much, or an illusion, it seemed that the moment I touched him, the skin under my fingertips trembled.

I said softly, "Does it still hurt?"

He was silent for a long time, and when he spoke, his voice was so hoar that he could barely be heard: "What about you?"

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

And he, when he said these two words, seemed to be in pain himself, and turned his face away from me. I only felt that the tip of my nose was sore, and my eyes were a little blurry, so I could only look at him with my eyes wide open, and choked up, "Light cold." ”

“……”

"Stop it. ”

“……”

"It hurts or not, it's long gone, I've long forgotten it. My hand slowly closed his cheek and made him turn his face to me: "What I care about is what kind of person you are. ”

If, you are not a good person......

If you don't have the good character that made my heart flutter......

What do I love about you?

I once said to him clearly that everyone has painful memories, but when those pains are spoken, they are actually no longer painful, because they are all gone, they are all memories, and more importantly, people can meet better people who let him forget those painful memories of the past.

I used to think that he was the better one who could allow me to stand in the ashes of time and face the future with courage.

However, if he sinks like this, if he disregards the safety of his family and country, and acts only according to the joy and anger of one person, then is he still my "better person"?

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

“……”

"Do you remember what kind of man he was?"

“……”

"When he was in the fishing village, it was so difficult, and he never complained, I hurt him like that, and he was reluctant to let me get drenched in the rain; he would rather devote himself to the Qinglou to do chores, but also to listen to the growth, because he wanted to become a better person. ”

The more I spoke, the more his eyes flickered, and his whole body kept shaking.

I stepped forward and looked up into his flickering eyes—

"You've gone to a better place, why haven't you become a better person?"

He shuddered violently and looked at me with wide eyes.

Why, you haven't turned out to be a better person?

This sentence seemed to be a thunderstorm, sounding above his head, his whole person was stunned, looking at me in shock, at this moment a lot of light flashed in his eyes, as if there were many contradictions struggling to tear him, I looked at him in a trance, and suddenly seemed to have something to burst out of his eyes: "Light, I-"

"Lord Liu. ”

Before he finished speaking, two soldiers suddenly walked out of the side, and saluted him respectfully: "Lord Taifu invites Lord Liu to come over to discuss the matter." ”

He shook slightly, as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream, looked back at them, and then at me, his brows furrowed.

My heart sank.

His face was instantly stained with a layer of frost like turning a book, and even the rippling waves in his eyes condensed into ice in an instant, and when he looked back at me, he didn't have a trace of temperature, only smiled coldly: "I, I'm not a better person." ”

At this moment, I only felt a little detached from my whole body, looking at his cold eyes: "Light cold." ”

"Don't say any more. ”

“……”

"I'm afraid these words were taught to you by Fu Badai, 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 Gongyi's tent, took two steps, looked back at me again, and sneered: "Since you think what Fu Badai said is right, then listen to him." ”

After saying that, he had already turned his head, and said something to the two soldiers, and left without looking back.

I stood in place, a little unable to recover for a while, just watching his back quickly disappear in front, and the two soldiers had already walked over and made a gesture to me politely: "Lord Yue, please." ”。

I didn't expect him to be so resolute, and at this point, he couldn't listen to anything.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but bite my lower lip, trying desperately to use the pain in my body to forget the pain in my chest, but I knew from the beginning that it didn't work at all, and the pain couldn't be reduced by a single point.

In this world, some people are ignorant, some people are ignorant, and they slide into the abyss step by step, which makes people feel pitiful, but I never imagined that some people would be so sober and sober and watch themselves sink.

Sober enough to make 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 worried about me, Chang Qing sat on the edge of the bed, one hand gently stroked the top of Nian Shen's head, while frowning slightly, as soon as he saw me walk in, a light suddenly flashed on his dark face, and he hurriedly got up and came over: "Qingying!"

"The Queen's Mother. ”

"Are you alright? He-he's not hard for you, is he?"

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

As soon as I shook my head like this, Kou'er and Shui Xiu immediately let go of their hearts, but Chang Qing's eyebrows did not loosen, looking at the corners of my slightly red eyes, she thought about it and ordered: "You go over there and get some hot tea." ”

As he spoke, he took me by the hand and led me to sit down on the other side of the tent, but I just stood beside her, and did not sit down, and she did not force me, and said, "What the hell is wrong?"

“……”

"What did he do to you?"

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

"Young Baby ......"

Looking at her concerned eyes and expression, I only choked up and said, "Queen Mother, don't ask about him again." ”

Chang Qing looked at me, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "How can this palace not ask?"

“……”

"His business is not just yours. ”

"......" I raised my head slightly to look at her, looking at her sober eyes, but I also understood, swallowed the sourness in my heart, and said: "Shen Gongyi, the abdication edict has been drafted. ”

"What?!" Chang Qing was startled and stood up suddenly: "He's really-"

"Hmm. I nodded.

"......" This time, but she couldn't sit still, her dignified and beautiful face was so pale for a while that there was no blood, her two hands kept tearing and twisting, and her fingers were gurgling, and she gritted her teeth for a while, and said, "He's so bold!"

Speaking of this, I lowered my voice and said softly: "Queen Mother, the emperor's jade seal ......"

She turned her head to look at me, and immediately understood, but shook her head slightly.

My heart sank.

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

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

If so, then—

My eyes slowly moved outside, surrounded by layers of heavy tents, as if there was no end to the night, covering the light in front of me, and I didn't know when I could bypass the layers of night and walk to the end of the night......

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Kou'er and Shui Xiu curled up in the corner, although they didn't dare to take a breath, but this night, I also heard their worried sighs several times, just after the dawn, I heard faint movement outside.

In fact, this night, it was not peaceful outside.

Today is also very important for Shen Gongjun, of course he will not let down his vigilance a little, all night, the footsteps of the imperial camp soldiers patrolling outside have not stopped, until now, there are at least four teams of soldiers around Chang Qing's tent.

We have nowhere to escape.

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but sink a little more.

Even Nianshen woke up early and stood by the bed neatly dressed. The surrounding atmosphere and changes, such a young child has also been perceived, like a little rabbit thrown into the wolf's den, although the hungry wolf has not yet shown its fangs, but already has a sense of life and death crisis.

I walked over, crouched down and carefully stroked his shoulder: "Your Highness, are you afraid?"

His little face was pale, obviously frightened, but he was a little unexpectedly stubborn and refused to speak, just looked at me and said, "Aunt Qing, is he really okay with my father?"

I glanced up at Chang Qing.

Last night, Chang Qing used such a sentence to lull him to sleep.

I don't know if this is a lie or how to deal with this child.

At this time, Chang Qing was dressed neatly, and also walked over, gently caressing Nianshen's heart, and said, "Nianshen, no matter if your father will have anything to do, you should be strong yourself." ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Because, you are the child of your father!"

“……”

Chang Qing looked down at him, with a faint smile hooked on the corner of her mouth: "The queen mother and Aunt Qing, I still need you to protect me." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Nian Shen's face suddenly became a little solemn, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, before he slowly raised his head to look at us, his cheeks were slightly red: "Queen Mother, Erchen knows." ”

“……”

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

Seeing him puff up his small chest, as if he really wanted to block in front of us and resist all the danger and pain, the original anxious mood also had a hint of relief at this moment.

I also gently stroked his soft heart, and at this moment, there was a heavy footstep outside, I frowned sensitively, hurriedly stood up, and as soon as I turned around, I heard someone outside: "Respectfully the queen mother." ”

“……”

Yes, Shin Gong-yeong's person.

Chang Qing and I glanced at each other, her face slowly became solemn, she took Nianshen's hand and handed it to me, 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 found that it was already dawn.

As soon as you look up, you can see the sky on the other side of the valley, as if it has been splashed with freehand brushwork, and the large clouds in the sky have been burned crimson, as if they are going to be burned every day.

Heaven and earth are furnaces, all things are copper, yin and yang are charcoal, and creation is work.

What is refined is this sentient being like a dog.

When we reached the door, we saw that in front of us there was a huge open space in front of the king's tent, where all the accompanying civil and military officials were waiting, and the whole camp of the Juma Valley had been protected by the Imperial Battalion and the Legion.

Already, there is no way back.

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

Although the current situation is unfavorable to the emperor, she has long been placed under house arrest by Shen Gongju, but the face is still perfunctory, the soldiers along the way have knelt down, when they walked to the front of the king's tent, as soon as the civil and military officials saw her, they immediately knelt down and shouted: "Weichen meets the queen's mother, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

"Flatten. ”

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

A few of them I have a faint impression, it seems that they are Chang Taishi's protégés, as soon as they saw the queen, they immediately looked at this side with anxious expressions, Chang Qing also glanced at them, and only nodded slightly.

At this moment, Shen Gongyi had already walked out of the crowd and arched his hand towards Chang Qing: "The old minister meets the queen." ”

"Master Taifu. Chang Qing looked at him coldly: "The emperor has been injured and recuperating these days, but it is too hard for Master Fu." ”

"The old minister has been favored by the third emperor of the royal family, and he has been doing his best since he died. ”

When Chang Qing and I heard this, our eyebrows frowned slightly.

What he just said was not the emperor's grace, but the royal family's grace - this sentence tastes a little wrong.

I glanced at Chang Qing, but she was still calm, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile: "Lord Shen is worthy of being the emperor's minister of the humerus." ”

"The minister of the humerus, the old minister is ashamed to speak. It's just that if the evil man in the court is in charge, the old minister will fight to pieces, and he will not regret it!"

"Oh?" Chang Qing raised an eyebrow - evil?

Shen Gongyun This kind of person must be thoughtful when he speaks, and he will not be untargeted, his purpose today is that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, but in addition to the "evil man", where does this start?

I glanced at him, and saw a faint, almost inaudible smile on the cunning face, and then got up and bowed to the king's tent: "Welcome to the Queen Mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was solemn, Chang Qing also turned his head, only to see that the bright yellow curtain of the king's tent was carefully lifted, and the queen mother slowly walked out of it.

The sun was like fire, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the crimson sun shone in this river valley, dyeing every face a red, but the queen mother's face was still pale, and it was almost transparent under such a fiery sun, and even compared to when I saw her before, even the last blood color and vitality were gone.

I was not too far away from her, and my eyesight was not bad, but at this moment, for some reason, I just felt that the familiar face seemed so blurry, and even a little unclear.

After this night, I have no way of knowing what the Queen Mother thought and decided, and now, I can't even see the slightest sign on her face, and the feeling that my heart and hands are empty makes me a little uneasy. At this time, the people around me had already knelt down, and I could only lead Nian Shen to the ground.

The Queen Mother only looked at the scene in front of her lightly, and her gray eyes did not carry a trace of emotion: "Get up." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”

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

Although it is understandable to greet the Queen Mother, Chang Qing is also the queen in the end, even if she can't sit upright, she should arrange a seat, Shen Gongyi completely ignored letting her stand like this, I couldn't help but sweat.

Chang Qing was also calm, and slowly walked in front of the Queen Mother: "Erchen meets the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "Are you scared?"

Chang Qing smiled: "Erchen will also learn from the Queen Mother in the future and recite Amitabha Buddha more." ”

The Queen Mother also smiled, waved her hand lightly, and then looked at Shen Gongyi and said, "Mrs. Shen, you invited the mourning family here, what is the so-called matter?"

Shen Gongju took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the old minister took the offense to ask the Queen Mother to come out of the account, and summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs, there is a major event to announce. ”

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

My heart pounded - of course I knew what the big thing he was talking about.

But, what about the Queen Mother?

How exactly did she decide?

The atmosphere was still a little dull, and all the people were looking at the center of the valley, and it seemed that they were also the people in the center of the storm in front of me, but I couldn't help but raise my eyes and look around, only to find that the familiar figure that should have followed Shen Gongzhu did not appear here.

He, where did he go?

As soon as the doubts in my heart rose, I heard Shen Gongyi say: "However, before announcing this important matter, the old minister still has one more thing to do. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

I looked at him a little strangely—hadn't he been preparing for so long just for the sake of this matter, and why was he interrupting it with something else now?

Is there anything more important than this?

Just when I was wondering, I heard a noisy sound from the other end of the crowd, and the surrounding civil and military ministers all looked over there and retreated.

And as soon as I looked up, I saw Liu Qinghan.

He walked all the way, his expression was solemn, a jade-colored hairband tied up his long hair high, revealing a clear forehead and bright eyes, although a dark blue robe was simple, but there was a bit of restrained gorgeousness, and the same jade-colored belt tightly tied his thin waist, which became more and more bee-waisted and athletic.

His gait was equally vigorous, and he soon came over, and I was stunned at the sight of several soldiers behind him.

They turned out to be holding Nangong Lizhu.

“……！”

What's going on?!

I was taken aback, and couldn't help but look back at Chang Qing, she was obviously stunned, her eyes widened and she looked at Nangong Lizhu, her hands were tied, and she kept struggling, and a few strands of neat green silk were scattered messily at this moment.

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

What the hell is this?

Could it be that Shen Gongyi said that she was the one who said?

Chang Qing had already stepped forward at this time, and said with a straight face: "Mrs. Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Gongyi was slightly shy, glanced back at her, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the old minister has just said that the old minister has been favored by the third generation of the royal family, if there is an evil man in charge, the old minister will definitely resist with his body." ”

"Evil, you say Concubine Li is evil?"

At this time, Nangong Lizhu has been pulled into the middle by those people, although her clothes are quite neat, but her hands are tied, and the messy appearance of green silk is really a wolf for such a first beauty in the Celestial Empire, I even feel that she seems to be more wolf than when she met her outside the Red Leaf Temple before, she was seriously injured and bloody.

She gritted her teeth, glared at Shen Gongyun and said, "Shen Gongyun, you are so bold, you dare to be disrespectful to this palace!"

Shen Gongyi also turned his head and said with a fierce expression: "You demon of the country, you dare to speak wildly in front of this official!"
