Inside the capital, outside the palace, in an inn near the outskirts of the city, an old woman carrying a big bag, looking a little flustered, looked around, made sure that there was no one around, and then knocked softly on the door.

Three knocks, then four times, and then three more knocks, which was the code she had agreed with the man, and sure enough, a moment later, the door was opened.

The person who opened the door was a young woman, and when she saw the old woman who knocked on the door, she looked tired, her face was sallow, she looked like a dusty person, she frowned and did not recognize that the person was about to close the door.

"Wait!"

As soon as the Queen Mother spoke, the woman heard this familiar voice, and when she looked closely, she was startled, isn't this the Queen Mother today!

"You are ......"

The little girl who opened the door was startled, and she didn't know whether to open the door and let this woman in.

The funeral of the Queen Mother was held for three whole days, and the emperor ordered the whole country to mourn for seven days, and no entertainment was allowed.

These days, her lord's house is grieving, and the small inn used for concealment is covered with white cloth and white flowers, as if she is grief-stricken by the death of the current Queen Mother, but the person who is already dead suddenly appears in front of her......

"Open the door and let me in."

The Queen Mother just said coldly, but her expression was a little flustered, after all, she had to keep her head down when she walked outside now, so as not to let others see an abnormality, since the emperor thought that she was dead, she could get the freedom she is now, if her identity is exposed, it will really fall short, and Mama Li will die in vain.

Thinking that Mama Li understood before she died, she didn't give her any fake death medicine, but obviously poisoned her, and she just wanted her to be a substitute for herself.

But Mama Li was loyal, and until the last moment before she died, she said to herself that she must escape well, Mama Li's loyalty to her made the Queen Mother inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, which is why she wants what will belong to her even more.

The little girl didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the door, but the Queen Mother walked in calmly.

"Lead me to your lord's house."

The Queen Mother also looked very familiar when she entered the house, and it was natural that when she was still in the palace, she often went out of the palace to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the name of going out of the palace to meet that person for so many decades, although she did not meet often, she still kept in touch, and the number of times she came here was not small.

Soon the little girl brought a man, the man didn't look young, he looked like the Queen Mother was about the same age, about fifty or sixty years old.

"Qing'er, is it really you?"

The man and the Queen Mother walked head-on, and saw the appearance of the Queen Mother from a distance, surprised but more excited, seeing that the two legs even began to tremble, I couldn't believe that the one standing in front of her was really the rumored dead Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother saw the man's calm expression at this time, and finally there was a little more waves, her face was moved, her eyes were in her eyes, and there was even a teardrop flashing.

"It's me, Brother Yuanzheng!"

The Queen Mother couldn't control herself at this time and put her bags on the ground, and walked forward quickly, the two hugged each other tightly, each other's bodies were trembling with excitement, it had been decades, she had finally left the palace completely, but she must go back again, and make Qin Zhao regret it with another gesture!

"Qing'er, you are really still alive, I see that the capital is all white, I am heartbroken when I see this scene, I didn't expect it, how did you run out alive, how could Qin Zhao's son of a dog let you go?"

After Zhao Yuanzheng calmed down, he grabbed the Queen Mother's shoulders with both hands, took a step back, and carefully looked at the woman in front of him, who was no longer young, but he still made him addicted.

The Queen Mother's face was already covered with traces of time, and her skin had wrinkled slightly, revealing the fact that she was old, but in his eyes, it was always Mu Qing who followed her when she was young and couldn't get rid of her.

"Looking at your outfit, you must have suffered a lot!"

Zhao Yuanzheng looked at the appearance of the Queen Mother, and she didn't know how distressed she was, she was wearing the clothes of the palace maid in the palace, and her face was obviously too smeared, the Queen Mother was properly maintained on weekdays, even if she was old, but she still looked much younger than the old women of the people.

This is also the reason why he will not marry for life, although there are not many opportunities to meet the queen mother, Qing'er in the past has now become the woman next to the emperor's pillow, even if the first emperor died, she still has to observe the festival in the palace, Zhao Yuanzheng has been unwilling to marry a wife and have children for so many years, and he is bent on planning everything for the queen mother outside the palace, relying on just the rare two opportunities for the two to meet in a year.

The Queen Mother will ask to go out of the palace to burn incense and worship the Buddha twice a year, and every time she burns incense and worships the Buddha, she will definitely meet herself after burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, which is the reason why Zhao Yuanzheng has survived over the years.

"It's nothing, I've survived, Brother Yuanzheng, from now on, I'm going to take refuge in you!"

The queen mother looked at the appearance of the man in front of her, in fact, she had no feelings for this childhood sweetheart in my heart for a long time, decades have passed, the vicissitudes of life, she enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the palace, and was favored by the emperor, how could she still think about this young man when she was young all these years.

It's just that I've been looking for opportunities to go out of the palace to meet him all these years, just so that one day it can come in handy, this is really prepared, and now it's really used, the Queen Mother also made a very excited look at this time, and the two couldn't help but hug each other tightly.

For Zhao Yuanzheng, this queen mother, who died and came back to life, is the love of his heart for many years.

"Don't you say anything about taking refuge or not taking refuge, have you forgotten? Over the years, I have recruited and trained in the Tao, but one day, it can come in handy for you, and now you can come to me, I feel very happy! ”

Zhao Yuanzheng finally had a feeling of happiness suddenly needed at this time, for decades, he seemed to have been waiting for this day, finally waiting for the death of the Immortal Emperor, finally waiting for the chaos in the palace, and finally waiting for Qing'er to come to him for help.

"How many soldiers and horses does Brother Yuanzheng have?"

The Queen Mother restrained her emotions at this time, and her face returned to a calm and mature appearance, she survived in the struggle in the palace and became a Queen Mother, relying on her calmness that she can find back anytime and anywhere, not to be shaken by her feelings, and to be able to quickly cut through the chaos and make a decision, which is a quality that other women in the palace do not have.

Zhao Yuanzheng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and gave a rough number.

"All in all, there are about 120,000 people, 50,000 are in the eastern suburbs of the city, 70,000 are currently in the mountains south of the city, and there are 5,000 war horses."

Zhao Yuanzheng's revelation of this number made the Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, she and Zhao Yuanzheng have been in contact all these years, only knowing that Zhao Yuanzheng is recruiting troops all the way, and there are more and more soldiers under him.

I didn't expect it to reach the level of 120,000 now, you must know that the so-called soldiers in the entire capital add up to no more than 80,000, and the guards in the palace are only 20,000.
