The fire burned out, and Concubine Yan asked the guards to search for the corpse in the ruins, and was shocked to find that the Sima Mansion was empty, not even a single item such as ancient porcelain and jade.

After working for a few hours, it turned out to be an empty house.

Concubine Yan did not give up and sent people to search all over the capital.

Sima Villa has mansions all over the Qi Kingdom, and there is only one main mansion, like other piles, other courtyards and the like, except for familiar people, others don't know.

Outsiders in the mansion where the queen and the jade concubine are hiding also don't know, and even the plaque on the gate is mentioned with the housekeeper's surname.

After searching for more than an hour, the sky gradually darkened, until the lights hung up in the streets, and the guards who had gone to search returned with nothing.

There is no news that Mu Guozhang was taken away by Baili Yu, and he couldn't find the queen and the jade concubine, so Concubine Yan was anxious.

At this moment, soldiers at the gate of the capital came to report that someone was going to enter the city.

Early this morning, Mu Guozhang sealed the city gate, no one was allowed to enter, it was so late, and there were still people entering the city, it must be that the person who came was not good, Concubine Yan heard the words and said: "Go and see." ”

Calculating the time, after a three-day trip from Yecheng to the capital, it is impossible for Bailifeng to return to Beijing so quickly, so who will it be?

When they reached the city gate and looked down, hundreds of guards stood in two columns, and a carriage was guarded in the middle, because it was night, and although there were lights on the city, they could not see clearly.

The guards of the city asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?" ”

The person below replied: "Hurry up and open the city gate, we are going to Putuo Temple to pick up people on the order of Guozhang." ”

Putuo Temple pick-up? Concubine Yan knew who she was picking up when she heard it, and hurriedly asked people to open the city gate, and she herself immediately walked down, and when she walked to the city, the carriage happened to drive into the city gate.

Concubine Yan didn't stop for a moment, walked to the carriage and opened the curtain, there was a woman sitting inside, Concubine Yan looked carefully and saw only a vague shadow, so she asked the guard to bring the lamp over, this look, Concubine Yan looked up and laughed.

Seeing the queen mother's hair scattered, the wolf bèi sitting in it unbearable, and her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, Concubine Yan was in a good mood.

exchanging the life of the queen mother for his father's life, Bai Liyu has to agree if he doesn't agree.

Early the next morning, there was a notice posted on the notice board in the capital, which said that if you want to save the life of the queen mother, you must exchange it for Mu Guozhang.

Soon, the news reached Baili Yu's ears, and when someone came to report, Mu Guozhang happened to be there, although the person said quietly, Mu Guozhang still heard it clearly.

The Queen Mother fell into the hands of Concubine Yan, and Bai Liyu didn't dare to act rashly.

"Lord Wang, what should we do?" The guard glanced at Mu Guozhang, Mu Guozhang raised his head, different from the previous dejection, the whole figure came to life.

Bai Liyu couldn't make up his mind for a while, he only thought of the jade concubine and the queen in the cold palace, but forgot the queen mother who was far away in Putuo Temple.

At this moment, suddenly a dart flew from a distance, and as soon as Baili Yu's head was deflected, the dart flew past his ear and sank into the beam.

The guard walked over and took down the note on the dart and handed it to Baili Yu, with only two words on it: Don't change.

The guards stood aside and saw the words on the note.

As soon as Baili Yu put it away, the note turned into pieces in his hand, and said, "Take him down to take care of him." ”

When instructed, the guard responded, "Yes! After speaking, he walked towards Mu Guozhang, and when Mu Guozhang saw this, he exclaimed: "You don't want to save the Queen Mother?" If you don't see me, the Queen Mother will die. ”

"If I let you go, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, I think the imperial grandmother will be considerate of me for doing this." Baili Yu was unmoved.

Who sent the note, Bai Liyu didn't know, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to make such a decision, if the Queen Mother really fell into the hands of Concubine Yan, I was afraid that it would be more auspicious.

The notice had been posted for a few hours, and it was noon, and there was still no movement on Bailiyu's side.

Concubine Yan couldn't sit still, her eyes were rolling on the Queen Mother, and she didn't know what she was planning.

The Queen Mother sat there lazily, not only her feet were tied, but even her hands were tied.

Seeing that she looked weak, Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Isn't it very uncomfortable?" Aren't you usually in a lot of pain? You can see it now, he doesn't care if you live or die. ”

The Queen Mother just glanced at Concubine Yan and didn't say a word.

Concubine Yan was upset and would say such things, just to find someone to quarrel with, but the Queen Mother was silent, and Concubine Yan walked up angrily and waved her hand and gave the Queen Mother a slap.

"Aren't you arrogant on weekdays? Continue to be arrogant? Dumb? Concubine Yan yelled.

Concubine Yan's slap used a lot of force, but the queen mother's face did not show five finger prints, and it was still pale.

Concubine Yan didn't notice it, and was still laughing, "You shouldn't have thought that you would have today!" Since I entered the palace, you have seen me unpleasantly, either protecting the queen or protecting the jade concubine, and now that it is in my hands, don't think that I will treat you well. ”

No matter what Concubine Yan said, the Queen Mother never said a word.

Watching the time pass little by little, Baili Yu's side still did not disappear, and at the same time, some guards came to report that Baili Feng's army was only dozens of miles away from the capital, and it could reach the capital at night.

Concubine Yan knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, Baili Yu was in the dark, and she was in the light, such a situation was very unfavorable for her.

"Since Baili Yu didn't come to save you, then it's no wonder to me." Concubine Yan said fiercely, drew the sword of the guard, and walked towards the Queen Mother step by step.

The Queen Mother shrank back in her chair, the expression on her face did not change at all, but the word "fear" was written in those eyes.

The guards knew what she wanted to do when they saw Concubine Yan's actions, and said: "Niangniang, please calm your anger, the Queen Mother can't be killed!" ”

Concubine Yan chuckled and said, "Tell me, why can't you kill it?" ”

"The prince is still in the hands of Baili Yu, if the queen mother dies, the prince will definitely die." The guard replied.

"Then we're just going to spend it with Baili Yu? We don't consume energy, and if we continue to consume it, it will be bad for us. Bailifeng's army is about to arrive in Beijing, and by then, we have not taken the capital, so we are waiting for the heads to land. ”

Concubine Yan's words left the guards speechless, and when Concubine Yan's sword was about to pierce the Queen Mother's chest, the guards still stopped her.

Concubine Yan's eyes widened, and the guard said persistently: "No matter what, the Queen Mother can't be killed." ”

This guard is Mu Guozhang's cronies, and he is a person who has followed Mu Guozhang's side for several years, so he dares to talk to Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan knows his identity, so she has repeatedly endured it, and at this moment, she can no longer bear it.

"Someone! Take him down. ”

As soon as Concubine Yan's voice fell, a guard stepped forward, and the guard was quickly subdued, Concubine Yan sneered, and stabbed the queen mother in the chest with a sword.
