Chapter 54: A Night of Sadness

It was a cloudy noon, and the soldiers in front of the formation looked intently ahead, waiting for an order to attack at any time, and next to the chess formation, Xu Yuan shook his head like crazy, "How could you die?" No, you'll live a hundred years. There was blood slowly flowing out of her mouth and nose, her eyes that were once as beautiful as the stars, her eyes looked at Xu Yuan with good eyes, and one hand slowly raised to touch his face, but he couldn't reach it, so he hung down, and there was no trace of life in a blink of an eye. Xu Yuan hugged her, thinking that she must have been in pain when she spoke just now, kissed her forehead, hugged the little girl he once regarded as a treasure, and was about to walk towards the military tent.

When the ceremonial officer in the distance saw it, he was in a hurry, and he was about to run over to stop him, but he was directly stopped by the soldiers. The adjutant approached him: "What do you want to do?" "What do I want to do?" You let me go, the queen sacrificed her life for the country, what do you want to do to her? "What do you call a queen mother? You didn't hear what she just said, did you? I don't want to go back to your Gyeonggi, so don't get out of here! "Is that up to her, or is it up to you, a rough man?" The queen is the mother of the country, and it should be Your Majesty's choice to stay or not, not to mention that she is the princess of Mongolia and her relatives, and now the relationship between the two countries is tight, and it is reasonable to leave the body of the mother, and please General Xu to focus on the overall situation! The ceremonial officer shouted loudly, and a white and tender literati's face turned red.

In the distance, Xu Yuan's footsteps were fixed, he looked at the woman in his arms, and continued to walk towards the military tent. Seeing Xu Yuan gradually disappear from his sight, the ceremonial official slowly became desperate, he took out a dagger from his arms, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Now that the etiquette is broken, the responsibility lies with the people, and the people have not admonished the king!" Today, the people will judge themselves here, and go with our mother! Just as he was about to commit suicide, a sergeant who was one head taller than him snatched his dagger: "Your Highness has ordered that if there are any people in the honor guard who cut themselves to thank the monarch for their kindness, they will be let go back to Gyeonggi, and if there is no distinction between the top and the bottom, the master and the servant are reversed, and they are insensitive, they will be killed on the spot." Come! Drive them back into the city! ”

In the big tent of the military camp, Prince Shen summoned the generals of each battalion and said: "The imperial sister-in-law has a gentle temperament, and she can't bear to be humiliated by the imperial brother, so she drank the poisonous wine given by His Majesty and committed suicide in front of our army. The righteousness of the imperial sister-in-law has fulfilled my heart to seek revenge for evil. Passing on my military order, all the soldiers mourned for the emperor's sister-in-law, changed the flag, and everyone wore a white cloth strip on their right arm to show their mourning. After the meeting, he came to Xu Yuan's tent, looked at the tent door, stood for a while, and left, probably, he didn't know how to talk to Xu Yuan, or maybe he felt that he could be alone.

Outside the palace and the Qinzheng Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, how is my father's health?" The imperial doctor said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has been busy with military affairs in the past few days, and rarely rests, and because of the affairs of the queen's mother... In a moment of anger, he fainted, and the minister had already prescribed medicine, believing that His Majesty would soon wake up. The prince nodded, and then asked, "Where is Liu Huizu?" "Liu Shangshu is still arranging military affairs on the city tower." "Call him over, and say that the palace has something to look for him." "Yes."

Liu Huizu hurried to the palace, saw His Royal Highness the Prince, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness, you are looking for me." Tianjiao pulled him up and said, "Uncle, is there still such a division between you and me?" Liu Huizu was so frightened that he quickly knelt down again: "Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare." Minister, I can't afford this uncle of His Royal Highness. "You and my father have grown up together, and you have great military achievements, loyalty and patriotism, so why should I not trust you? This sentence uncle, you can afford it, and now that the national crisis is at hand, please teach me my uncle. "Your Royal Highness, Niangniang has passed away, and now the top priority is to arrange the Niangniangzi Palace, and the peace talks with Mongolia have just begun, if the Niangniangzi Palace cannot be buried well, then it is particularly unfavorable to our peace talks."

Thinking of his mother's tragic death in front of the enemy army, Tianjiao's tears swirled in his eyes, but he didn't let it fall out, and he pursed his lips vigorously. "Then do as you say, and send another letter to King Qin's army, asking them to march quickly and rush to the aid of Gyeonggi regardless of everything!" When the messenger delivered it to Zhaoqian's tent, he looked at the letter and was very embarrassed, because this time it was not the condescending decree of his imperial brother, but the crown prince's tearful plea. In fact, a woman is still dead, he doesn't care, but Xu Yuan treats her like a baby, and she stays in the account without eating or drinking, which is really not a thing. After a quarter of an hour of reflection, he agreed to the messenger's request.

Like last time, Zhao Qian hesitated in front of Xu Yuan's military tent for a long time before he walked in, and when he saw Xu Yuan, he hurriedly exclaimed: "Junrui! You, what's wrong with you! Xu Yuan looked up at him with a strange expression, only to see Zhao Qian running out of the military tent quickly, and after a while he came back with a mirror. Come and see! Look at what you look like now! Xu Yuan picked up the mirror suspiciously, only to see that his face in the mirror was still the same, just a little decadent, but his hair turned snow-white! Look at you, do you feel anything unusual? "Nope." Xu Yuan put down the mirror and looked at Zhao Qian. "Now I don't care about the way I look, His Highness came to me for Kikige." Zhao Qian nodded: "Yes, it's really for her, but it's more for you." Xu Yuan sneered: "Your Highness has been lying on the back for many years, just for revenge, and now that he is about to succeed, how can he be willing to give up easily?" "Junrui, you better put her back." "Your Highness, what are these words, do you know that she doesn't want to go back?"

"But I can't help her, and I can't help you and me!" Zhao Qian looked at Xu Yuan, looked at his silver hair, and felt countless desolations in his heart. "You know her identity, to put it mildly, how to store a corpse in the barracks, to put it mildly, now Mongolia and the Central Plains are the time for peace talks, if she has any accidents now, it will be extremely unfavorable to us. Junrui, you are from a family of military merits, you know that the Mongols in the north are not fuel-efficient lamps, you have to focus on the overall situation, if the north fights again, it will kill a lot of people. ”

"What does Your Highness mean? I want to give up on her, do you know how many people would have died if she hadn't drunk the poisoned wine? You? Can you die? I? Can I die? We can't, our long-cherished wish is gone, and we haven't overturned the case for our own family. We couldn't die, so this weak woman went to the ghost gate for us. ”
