Outside the palace, a group of people standing guard changed, these soldiers were wearing dark green military uniforms, which were the uniforms of the Tang family's private army, a whole dark green color, lined with the brick-red walls of the imperial city, row after row of dazzling eyes.

Qu Ning and the others rode straight into the palace, except for the guard at the door who asked them to roll down the window and take a look, everything else was completely unimpeded.

Compared with the complexity of the last time she entered the palace, Qu Ning deeply felt the difference, and the power of the Tang family had been deeply and obviously reflected in such a simple matter.

Covering the sky with one hand, this word is used to describe today's Tang Dashuai, which is indeed the most appropriate.

The emperor and the empress were in Chuxiu Palace at this time, Qu Ning and Tang Shaoshuai entered the door one after the other, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair high in the hall with a gloomy face, looking at them coldly, looking at Qu Ning coming in, his voice opened coldly: "The imperial sister is also a lobbyist for those who are not subordinate?" ”

Qu Ning glanced left and right, waved away the palace maids and eunuchs standing next to him, and motioned for them to close the palace door, before slowly speaking: "The courtier's sister entered the palace today, not for any one person. The minister's sister is for the people of the world and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

The emperor sneered: "I don't know, when did the imperial sister become such a person who worries about state affairs?" Back in the palace, who said that I only wish the years to be quiet and the present world to be stable? Now it has become a worry about the country and the people? ”

Qu Ning sighed softly.

That sentence is indeed from her mouth: when she said this wish, the first queen mother was still alive, and the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten at that time, but he was completely a "child emperor", and everything was subject to the queen mother, and the reason why she made this wish at the birthday ceremony at that time and won the favor of the palace was not because of anything else, but because of the situation they were in at the time, they couldn't help but choose.

But the emperor is not saying these things now, not to bring up those old things to warm his heart, but to resentment against her, and he can't wait to poke her heart and liver as a lobbyist - they depended on each other back then, and she was still dressed to entertain her relatives in the past, but now, when she entered the palace as a lobbyist at this time, she stood on the opposite side of him, the imperial brother.

"Brother Huang has never lived a day of stability in his life." Qu Ning said, tears in her eyes gradually overflowing her eyes, "When I was a child, my sister and you were just unfavored princes and princesses, if it weren't for the early death of the crown prince and third brother...... The royal brother doesn't have to bear such a heavy burden. Since you ascended the throne, you have been sighing all night, draining your liver and gall, boiling up your heart and blood and breaking your liver and intestines, and skillfully maneuvering between the forces of all parties, so that the ancestors can maintain the country passed down from your ancestors to this day, how much hardship and how much patience there is during this period, although only you know best in your heart, but the sister is also watching you come step by step, how difficult you are, the sister also understands in her heart. ”

The emperor looked at the tears flashing in her eyes, listened to the affection in her words, and finally twisted his face a little awkwardly, waved his sleeves slightly, and put down his hand again: "Don't say it, political affairs are men's affairs, you go back." ”

He glanced at Tang Shaoshuai, and his voice became piercing, and his anger became clear when he heard it: "Since I married the imperial sister to you, you should treat her well, and at this time, you still brought her into the palace, and you want to use the woman to coerce me, what is the intention of your Tang family?" ”

Tang Shaoshuai looked at him silently, and did not refute his accusations.

On the contrary, Qu Ning frowned at this time: "Brother Huang, you are wrong, it was not they who asked me to come, it was me who asked to enter the palace." ”

The emperor's cold gaze swept to her face at this time, and the meaning was very obvious: Don't try to lie to me!

"I heard that the cannon was put on the Jingshan ......" Qu Ning's voice was still obviously choked, "Brother Huang, is it all like this, can I still stand by and watch?" No matter what, we are also brothers and sisters, you and I are blood relatives, different from others. I said that I am for the 40,000,000 people of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but more importantly, I also hope that you can live a long life and live a worry-free life. ”

The emperor's face gradually turned gloomy, and the touching nostalgia that was previously evoked by her words was swept away, and he said coldly: "Death is lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai." The last Yizong of the previous dynasty hanged himself in the coal mountain, and today, hundreds of years later, there are still people who often say 'the king died in Sheji'. Since my dynasty can replace the previous dynasty, do I have to carry the infamy of losing the country and die as a deposed emperor? I would rather die in the position of the emperor, in the palace city, than die on the sick bed in the future, and do not want to bear the name of such cowardice! He stood up and looked at Qu Ning with a haughty cold gaze, "In my life, I have compromised too much and made too many concessions, only this step, I will not back down no matter what, no matter what!" ”

Qu Ning and him looked at each other silently, and they both saw resoluteness in each other's eyes.

In the middle of the sound, Qu Ning suddenly smiled "haha", and pulled out the Browning that Tang Shaoshuai gave her from her waist, she had not fired a shot so far, and was only used to deter Master Yun once, and threw it in front of the emperor.

The queen next to her exclaimed, stretched out her hand to cover her lips, her hands trembled and she couldn't say a word, but the hand holding the handle of the chair was already trembling.

The emperor reached out and picked up the gun, silently touched the smooth and cold gunshot, and raised his head to look at Qu Ning: "What do you mean by this, imperial sister?" ”

"Aren't you going to learn from the former Chaoyi Sect?" Qu Ning sneered, "Before Yizong hanged himself on the coal mountain, he ordered Empress Zhou, Yuan Guifei and others to commit suicide and martyrdom, and hacked to death Princess Changping and Concubine Houfei, and almost slaughtered the harem. I think it's too painful to use a sword, and although there is a whole corpse when I hang myself, the corpse is incontinent, and the death is ugly, so it is better to shoot one by one, and it will be clean and refreshing. Since you want to die for your country, you don't have to wait for tomorrow to bombard the palace, the blood will flow like a river, and it will also involve others, this gun will be a little help from your courtier," she glanced at the self-striking bell in the hall, "Anyway, in just two hours, the cannon on Jingshan will be able to shatter this last dream!" ”

The Empress shook her head tremblingly, and the Emperor shook his hand and held the gun, and his face was cloudy.

His fingers slowly moved to the insurance, "click" A crisp safety sound just sounded, and the queen, who was already in tears and trembling next to her, knelt on the ground at this time, stretched out her hand and clenched the muzzle of the gun frantically: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't help it......" Her hand covered her stomach, and her eyes flashed with despair and crazy light, "Your Majesty, the concubine already has your child in her belly, we have been married for so many years, the concubine just had a letter, the child can't live without a father, Concubines can't afford to lose your husband! Even if you want to leave, this child is innocent, please, concubine beg......" begging him for something, she couldn't say it.

But there are some words that those present understand very well.

The queen has knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed between her words, the sound of "bang" sounded in the hall, and there were blood stains on her forehead, and the desperate look deeply knocked into everyone's heart - the queen was born in everyone, and she had to pay attention to a demeanor when she sat and lay on weekdays, and she never had the slightest rudeness, but at this time she didn't care about the madness at all, who was it for, and what it was for, they were also very clear.

The emperor was completely stunned: "Zitong, Zitong, are you pregnant?" ”

The queen's face was full of tears, mixed with terrible blood, but the movement of her belly was shining with an extremely bright light called motherhood.

As soon as the emperor's hand softened, the gun fell silently on the carpet.

***

Qu Ning and Tang Shaoshuai stood at the door of the hall, she held Tang Shaoshuai's hand tightly and exhaled deeply.

After Empress Fangcai's hysterical breakdown, the emperor hugged her, and the two of them hugged and cried, she knew that the matter had been done since then, and once the desperate momentum of the broken cauldron was extinguished, it would be difficult to ignite it - as long as people thought of life, it would be difficult to muster up the courage to die, Qu Ning walked out with Tang Shaoshuai, leaving the indoor space to those two people-of course, she did not forget to touch the gun.

Tang Shaoshuai glanced at her: "Madame is so calculating." ”

Qu Ning: "Huh"? snorted.

He raised an eyebrow: "The gun is not loaded." ”

"......" Qu Ning glanced at him helplessly, "Did you hear this?" "There will be a slight difference in the sound of the insurance.

One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, so she deliberately did not load the bullet in the gun, even if the emperor really pulled the trigger, after he was ready to "watch the queen die", he didn't see the bloodflow, and if she had to pull it a second time, she was afraid that it would decline again.

So even if the queen didn't say that she had a child at that time, Qu Ning was already ready to persuade her, and the other party really planned to die.

She came to the palace to talk about it, just to get rid of the emperor's will to die - as long as he didn't want to die, as long as he still thought about the existence of other members of the imperial family, then there was room for negotiation about leaving the palace to abdicate.

Qu Ning bit her lip, and her voice was soft as if she was talking to herself: "Sincerely, do you think I did something wrong?" You say, should I enter the palace for this trip...... "The emperor is at fault, the twenty-one articles should not be signed, maybe she will not enter the palace this time, and things may not be bad enough to bombard the palace.

Even if she didn't come, she might not be bleeding, and when she came, it caused the emperor to negotiate.

Tang Shaoshuai reached out and took her into his arms.

The wind was strong, the temperature was low, and the weather was cold, but his arms were warm and wide.

She sucked the warmth of his arms with peace of mind, and silently leaned her head on his shoulder.

His voice was as magnetic and reassuring as ever: "I said I would fill in the gaps for you." Don't worry, I'll watch the bottom line for you, and I won't let you casually agree to some conditions that will make you regret it. ”

"......Be careful" Qu Ning raised his head lightly and bit on his chin, because the action was very light, although it was a tooth, but for him, it was just a warm breath on his chin, and then it made him "hiss" in a low voice, Tang Shaoshuai reached out and rubbed her head, looked at her bright eyes and sighed lightly: "Naughty." ”

Qu Ning lowered her head: "This is the hardest moment for me. No matter how bad he is, he is also my brother...... I can't watch them die. But if I allow them to lose their hearts for the throne, I will not be able to live my own conscience. I used to be an ostrich, burying my head in the sand and not looking at anything, thinking that in this way I would be able to deceive myself and others, and I would be able to get by, but in the end, until now, I still have to face such a difficult decision...... I'm glad I'm still with you. ”

Tang Shaoshuai sighed silently, and his words were still very concise: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side." ”

Always, always by your side.
