Chapter 296: Sweeping the rebellion, the princess hanged herself

Mo Ziyu stood on top of the city tower, looking at Liu Xu who was killing the enemy below, and only felt that he was the arrival of the gods at this moment.

She had never thought he was so heroic, so majestic, as if he was surrounded by light.

She looked at this man adoringly, this man who belonged to her.

Under the front and rear attacks of King Qi's army and the Imperial Forest Army, the rebels collapsed on all fronts, and Liu Ling fled.

King Qi dismounted, entered the palace, went up to the city tower, knelt in front of Emperor Xuan, hugged his fists and said: "The son is late to save the driver, please forgive my father!"

"You came at the right time!" Emperor Xuan helped King Qi up, "I didn't misread you!"

"Father, go back and rest, just leave these remnants of the defeated army to your son!" Liu Xu said.

Emperor Xuan nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to deal with here! When some things are settled, come to the imperial study to find me!"

"Yes!"

When Emperor Xuan left, Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu on the side of the city wall, saw that she was covered in blood, her face changed, she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

Mo Ziyu shook his head: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I'm fine, it's not my blood!" But Lord Wang, something seems to have happened to King Qi's Mansion, I have asked Qingling to go and check, but there is no news yet." ”

"What!" Liu Xu frowned, "Qingyue, you immediately bring some people back to have a look!"

"Yes!"

"It's dangerous here, you should go back first. Liu Xu said, "Just leave it to me here." ”

Mo Ziyu smiled faintly and said: "There are still many wounded soldiers below, and the concubine has to go and treat their wounds!"

Liu Xu looked at it, there were many palace maids on the side of the city wall who were treating the wounds of the wounded soldiers, maybe they were not skilled, but they were already doing their best.

Lu Qiao was probably very sleepy and tired, her head rested on the wall and fell asleep, and the wounded soldiers around her were afraid that she would not sleep well, so they gently supported her.

"You're doing a great job. Liu Xu said, "Liu'er, you did a good job." ”

"The concubine body just did what she could do. Mo Ziyu said, "The concubine believes that the prince will definitely come back!"

Then Liu Xu continued to command the battle, to wipe out those remnants, and Mo Ziyu also continued to treat the wounds of the wounded, and he was able to save one more.

It wasn't until midnight that the situation outside was quiet, and most of the remaining rebels were either captured or killed, and the turmoil finally calmed down. However, Liu Xu did not immediately report the battle situation to Emperor Xuan, but immediately set off to return to King Qi's Mansion, Mo Ziyu understood that the situation in King Qi's Mansion should not be too good, otherwise Liu Xu would not be so anxious.

Mo Ziyu didn't follow Liu Xu back to King Qi's mansion, she really didn't have any strength at all, and was helped back to Fengxi Palace by two palace people.

"Concubine Jiang, are you okay?" Liu Changqing immediately ran over and asked worriedly.

Mo Ziyu shook his head gently: "Don't worry, I'm fine, help me to see the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was so old that she was so hit that she couldn't afford to lie in bed, humming on her lips.

Mo Ziyu gave the Queen Mother a pulse, frowning slightly, the Queen Mother is heart damage, she is old, she is afraid that time is running out, of course she will not say these words, just whispered: "The Queen Mother rest assured, King Qi led the troops back to rescue the driver, and now the turmoil outside has calmed down, and this turmoil has passed." ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, and barely smiled: "That's it, that's good, that's good! King Qi is a good boy, a good man, a good son of Beixia!"

She lost two grandchildren in a rebellion, and this is not a big blow!

"Now that the situation has settled down, the Queen Mother just needs to recuperate. Mo Ziyu said, "Queen Mother, you will definitely get better as soon as possible." ”

After the Queen Mother took the medicine, she fell asleep deeply.

Mo Ziyu also went back to his residence, took a bath, washed away the blood, changed into new clothes, and fell asleep after eating something.

King Qi's Mansion.

When Liu Xu rushed back, King Qi's mansion was already in a mess.

Xie Xuan followed closely behind Liu Xu and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, if I could have come over earlier, the situation here might not have happened." ”

Liu Xu pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, he saw Qing Ling's voice, called her over, and asked about the current situation in King Qi's mansion.

Qing Ling sighed, lowered her eyes and said, "Mrs. Wang committed suicide by setting fire to Tongzhi Courtyard, and the princess...... The princess ...... the rest of the words, he was really hard to say.

At this time, a maid ran over in a panic and shouted, "Oh no, the princess committed suicide!"

Liu Xu's face changed, and he hurriedly walked towards Wuling Courtyard.

Inside the house, I saw a few maids kneeling by the door crying, and in the center of the room, the princess was hanging.

She put on makeup, changed into brand new clothes, and left decently.

The long sword in Liu Xu's hand slashed, Bai Aya disconnected, he took the princess in his arms, and called: "Ling'er, wake up, wake up!"

It's just that the princess at this moment is already pale and out of breath.

Liu Xu turned his head, waited for a few maids by the door, and asked, "What are you doing?" Why didn't you come and report earlier?"

A maid wiped away her tears and said: "The princess can't live anymore, and the slaves and maids don't dare to stop it!

"Why?" Liu Xu was puzzled, "Why did you ...... at this time?"

He looked down at the woman in his arms, his face and neck were all scars, he pulled off the princess's clothes slightly, and the chest part was also bruised, could it be ......

"These brutes!" Liu Xu gritted his teeth and scolded, "These brutes!

"I've killed all of those who broke in!" Xie Xuan sighed, "But...... It's all my fault!"

Liu Xu hugged the princess's body and put her on the bed.

He held the princess's hand, sat on the edge of the bed for a while, supported his forehead with one hand, and said bitterly regretfully: "I'm sorry, it's this king who came back too late!

He thought back to ten years of being married to her, and never thought that it would end like this! He thought that even though they would not be as close as ordinary couples, they could still respect each other until they grew old!

He had never thought of divorce from his wife, nor had he ever thought of giving up on her! she wanted supremacy, and he had intended to satisfy her all!

It's just that why was it born like this?

He took a deep breath and tears rolled down his face.

"All the top and bottom of the Wuling Courtyard were martyred for the princess. Liu Xu said coldly.

"Lord Wang, spare your life!"

"Lord Wang, let us go!"

The cries of the maids, Liu Xu didn't want to listen to it anymore, he just regretted, annoyed, hated himself, there were some things he could have done better, but he was messed up by him!

The heart seemed to be hammered hard, and the throat seemed to be pinched fiercely, Liu Xu tidied up the princess's sideburns, and said softly: "I'm sorry, this king is sorry for you! This king should be the person who understands you best, but he stood opposite you, but you seem to be thinking about me all the time, I should be good to you, and I once swore to be good to you, but then I took your contribution for granted, and forgot to promise you, I'm sorry!"

In this war, there is no winner after all.

Until the sky was completely bright, Liu Xu sat in front of the bed all night.

Qing Yue entered the inner report and reported: "Lord Wang, King Qin has fled, and he has sent someone to chase him out, and there is news from the post house that Mi Shizi has also fled." ”

"Don't worry about Nan Chu's affairs for now. Liu Xu closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes had regained his composure, "Go all out to hunt down Liu Ling, live to see people, and dead to see corpses!"

"Yes!" Qing Yue said, "In addition, Your Majesty is still waiting for the prince to report to him." ”

"This king knows!" Liu Xu got up, the grief on his face disappeared, and he regained the composure and calmness that a general should have.

Inside the Royal Palace.

When Mo Ziyu woke up, it was already early in the morning.

When Mo Ziyu woke up, everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was a vicious battle last night, and they were still living in the fear of the unknown last night, and now they had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, as if it was just a terrible nightmare for Mo Ziyu alone.

"Concubine Jiang, are you awake?" a palace man smiled, "breakfast is already ready." ”

Mo Ziyu nodded lightly, her stomach was also hungry, and she wanted to come to eat something to cushion it, but as soon as she smelled the food, she felt sick to her stomach and retched.

She thought that she hadn't gotten used to the bloody stumps and broken arms yet, so she didn't care anymore and got up and went to Fengxi Palace.

The Queen Mother was still asleep in a coma, and Emperor Xuan was taking care of her.

Mo Ziyu hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"What is the situation of the Queen Mother, tell me the truth. ”

Mo Ziyu thought for a while and said: "The situation of the Queen Mother is not very good, the Queen Mother is old, and the blow this time is too big, so it is not good...... It's just that the Queen Mother is not an ordinary person, she has a tough mind and is raised with medicine, so she may be able to recuperate. ”

"I know. Emperor Xuan said, "I've worked hard for you in the past two days." To tell you the truth, you did impress me. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mo Ziyu lowered her eyes and said softly, "The concubine is a member of the royal family and a child of Northern Xia, and she just did what she had to do. ”

"You don't have to be too modest, what you do is a woman. Emperor Xuan said. "I will also discuss the reward for meritorious deeds. ”

"Your Majesty, King Qi is here. Gonggong Li said in a low voice.

"I know. Emperor Xuan said, "Concubine Jiang, you should take care of the Queen Mother!"

"Yes!"
