Shen Tianao and Liu Ying discussed countermeasures, and Liu Ying apologized to him and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the city is unstable now, Your Majesty might as well go to other places to avoid it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shen Tianao smiled faintly at this, he wiped his sharp blade, and then slowly said to Liu Ying: "I won't leave, even if it's my final destination, I don't want to leave here, even if I leave, do you think the people of the Long family will let me go?" ”

He couldn't understand in his heart that he had done too many excessive things to the Long family before, so if he fell into trouble this time, Long Yuting would not let him go, so Shen Tianao was already determined to die, and he continued to instruct Liu Ying: "If the situation is irreversible, you must send the queen mother out, I can't bear to let her accompany me ......."

Although he was only halfway through the words, Liu Ying couldn't understand it better, and he said to Shen Tianao: "Your Majesty, it's not the last moment yet, you still have a chance." ”

Shen Tianao thought carefully about the war with Long Yuting's army during these times, he had already lost a lot of men and horses, and he was losing in this battle, so he said to Liu Ying: "I will take the imperial expedition in person, and the safety in the palace will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Liu Ying said respectfully to Shen Tianao, "The minister must take care of the palace." ”

Shen Tianao said goodbye to Gu Qingcheng, he stroked her smooth cheek and said: "Allure, I want to go in person, it is inconvenient to take you there this time, you stay in the palace and take care." ”

Gu Qingcheng felt sad in her heart, she didn't know if she could see her again, she said softly to Shen Tianao: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. In fact, she has already made plans in her heart, in case Shen Tianao can't return from this expedition, she will also go with him, he doesn't want to come back again, from one man to another, although they all love her, but she can't accept it, even if she has a covenant with Shen Tianao in her previous life, so she doesn't want to go to another man's side, she will feel very tired.

Shen Tianao said goodbye to her and came to the barracks in person, but there were not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and after a while, news of defeat and retreat came from the front.

Shen Tianao was furious, and he instructed the general: "You can't just put Kyoto in the hands of Long Yuting and the others, even if there are not enough people, now call all the men and let them all join the barracks, so as to solve the problem of not having enough people." ”

Although the generals felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but the matter had reached such a point that they could only do what Shen Tianao had ordered, so they recruited many men to enlist in the army, and for a time the people were full of grievances, and there were complaints everywhere, and this voice even spread to the palace.

Gu Qingcheng learned of Shen Tianao's approach, and she sighed and said: "Your Majesty has finally come to this point, but you can't force others so much if you are willing to fail, this will lose the hearts of the people." ”

The palace people persuaded her: "Queen Mother, this is just an expedient measure, Your Majesty will definitely win." Although the palace people were so comforted to her, they were even more flustered than Gu Qingcheng, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been sent out of the palace, but the queen mother was unwilling to take refuge in the palace, and they couldn't leave the palace because of this, so they were worried.

Gu Tingcheng said to the palace people: "You don't have to worry, this palace promised you, if it comes to such a point, it will definitely let you go." ”

But the palace people didn't seem to be able to wait, and they didn't want to wait until that time, so they had been inquiring about escaping from the palace for a long time, and some of them had already packed their packages and waited for it to get out when it was dark.

The next day, Gu Tingcheng saw that there were many fewer people in the palace, and she asked the palace people around her, "Where did the common people go in ordinary times?" ”

The palace people replied hesitantly: "They are not fit enough to come today, so they can't come, I hope the queen can forgive me." ”

When Gu Tingcheng heard the palace people say this, she suddenly understood in her heart, but she didn't break all this, she said lightly: "Since you are unwell, you don't have to come, and you can be quiet if there are fewer people around the palace." ”

When the palace people heard her say this, they were silent, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that this queen mother was really a broad-minded person, and now that the palace people have done this kind of thing, she didn't care.

However, some of the palace people who escaped were arrested by Liu Ying, and he angrily reprimanded them: "You actually dare to escape from the palace at this time, it is completely self-defeating, and you will only make more people panic if you go like this." ”

Out of courtesy, Liu Ying said to Gu Qingcheng: "Niangniang, the minister has captured many palace people who have fled and is preparing to execute them. ”

"Execution?" Gu Tingcheng was shocked in her heart, and she instructed Liu Ying, "It is absolutely impossible to put them to death, seeing that the palace will fall, but they are all innocent people, and they should not be allowed to bury this palace as well." ”

Liu Ying originally wanted to continue to explain, but seeing Gu Qingcheng's resolute attitude, he also let go of those palace people, but said to them: "You leave the palace quickly, and it is the queen's intention to spare your lives, and you should all be executed." ”

The palace people were very grateful to him and Gu Qingcheng, and said to Liu Ying: "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for letting us go." ”

In this way, more and more palace people left the palace, and Gu Tingcheng also learned about it, but she did not punish the palace people who stayed for this, she said to everyone: "Whether to leave or stay is up to your wishes, this palace is not a cruel person, and I don't want to do cruel things." ”

The palace people thanked her and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Even so, some palace people still chose to stay by her side, and Gu Qingcheng said to them: "Why don't you choose to leave. ”

The palace people replied frankly to her: "The slaves and maids are homeless, and they don't know where to go when they leave the palace, so we will go wherever the queen goes." ”

For their loyalty, Gu Tingcheng was very moved, no matter where she was, she could meet similar loyal people, which was also the reason why she felt moved, she said to the palace people apologetically: "It's just that you are only afraid that you will suffer some hardships by your side in this palace." ”

After she said this, she took out her jewelry and said to them, "These are some of my personal accessories, you should take them first, just in case." ”

She knew that it was not easy for these palace people left behind to follow her, so she couldn't treat them badly, and in case of an accident, they could survive with these valuable ornaments. (To be continued.) )
