Chapter 157 Hand over the Queen Mother
Bai Su stretched out his hand and wiped the handle of the knife in his hand, the movement was slow and elegant, as if he had completed some kind of ceremony, then tilted his head, looked at Shen Zhongbai with a smile, and said word by word: "You have no choice, the entire palace is not a constraint on the palace at all, for the sake of the throne and the country, you still take the palace to meet the old woman, the palace just wants to ask for some evidence." ”
He can quickly appear here with so many people, which means that he has long been fully prepared, although the queen does not want to admit it, but the situation at this time is obviously that he saved himself by the way when he came to verify something, and in the queen's heart, Bai Su is not a safe person.
Shen Zhongbai clenched his hands into fists fiercely, his eyes were scarlet, just like Bai Su said, he had no choice.
The lights were lit at the gate of Yongning Palace, Shen Zhongbai led the way in front, and all the people walked unhurriedly, and at the door, the Queen Mother was sitting there.
At this time, it was already early winter, the temperature was very low, the queen rubbed her hands, and suddenly her body was covered with a piece of clothing, and a smell of blood rushed into her nose, and she had a cold shiver all over her body, this smell was really desperate, it was the smell of life slowly draining.
Bai Su walked up, put his arm on the queen's shoulder, and said softly with a light smile: "As early as six years ago, this palace said that you would learn martial arts for self-defense, look at your current down-and-out appearance, or the Gu Yan that this palace knows?" ”
Six years ago? The queen immediately reacted that it was Gu Yan's era, and she didn't expect that this man would have some intersection with herself, but she still couldn't tell whether this man was friend or foe.
"The Gu Yan you know is indeed not a person with this palace." The queen knocked Bai Su's hand off and kept a distance from him.
There was a fire beside the Queen Mother, and there was a warm light around her, as if she had been waiting here for a long time.
Shen Zhongbai stepped forward and knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted him, but the people behind him did not move.
The queen looked at the queen mother carefully, she hadn't seen her for six years, in the queen's memory, she had died of the plague a long time ago, and now she sat here, her face was calm, and the corners of her mouth had a shallow smile, as if she didn't know what terrible things were going to happen.
Even the queen felt that this time seemed to be different from every previous time.
This man named Bai Su is obviously the leader of a mysterious organization outside the palace, but he is inextricably linked with the Queen Mother, which can only show that everyone has some love debts when they are young.
The Queen Mother first looked at the queen carefully, and said: "I have long heard that Luo Ping is pregnant, and now it is really true, you must protect your child well, let her grow up safely." ”
The queen remembered that Gu Yan was indeed desperately fighting for the position of a county lord, but many people have called her her Chang'er over the years, but no one has ever called her Luo Ping.
She did a good job of being generous, but her life was safe? When she thought of the word, her nose was sore, and she was about to cry.
This old lady is not so vicious, it is true that she is not a fool, she naturally knows who the child in the queen's womb is, but she doesn't mind.
Then the Queen Mother turned her head, looked Bai Su up and down, narrowed her eyes, and said: "I heard that you are looking for this palace, tell me what you are looking for this palace?" ”
Bai Su took two steps forward, still with a shallow smile, and even asked a little respectfully: "This palace came here to ask about someone from your old man, have you heard of a woman named Bai Qirong?" ”
The Queen Mother really paused, as if she had expected it a long time ago, and as if she remembered it again.
That obviously evoked her long memories, she thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "There is indeed such a woman, who is the most sorry woman in this palace's life." ”
When she said this, she was extremely sincere, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deep, and she looked calm, as if she had been relieved.
Her age is there, even if she did some wrong things when she was young, she has been through ups and downs for so many years, time has diluted everything, and those bad things have gradually disappeared with the loss of time.
"You know you're sorry for her, too? Did you know that you simply said sorry that she would never be able to wait? Bai Su smiled and smiled, the curvature of the corners of his mouth changed, and the expression on his face began to become scary.
The Queen Mother sat there, calm and scary, she carefully observed Bai Su's face, "tsk", and said, "You are the child of Qirong?" I didn't expect him to still leave a seed on her! ”
"Bai Qirong's name, you are not qualified to call it in this life, today I came to this palace to take your life and avenge Bai Qirong, it was never you who should be alive." Bai Su's expression finally turned into a gloomy coldness that he had never felt before, he took out the knife he had used just now from his sleeve again, observed it carefully by the moonlight, and rushed forward.
This was just a moment, Bai Su's movements were very fast, but he didn't want Shen Zhongbai's movements to be even faster, so the whole person flew up and rushed to the front of the Queen Mother, ready to block this attack with his body.
When the short sword was about to touch Shen Zhongbai's chest, Bai Su stopped stiffly, and then looked at the Queen Mother proudly like a child.
"You're not afraid of death?" Bai Su asked.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and said lightly: "This palace has lived for so many years, early death and late death are deaths, in fact, this palace has long expected such a day, but you should be happy for Bai Qirong, at least she has a good child." ”
"Do you think I'll let you go? What did Bai Qirong do wrong? Is it because you fell in love with a man you shouldn't love? But love this thing......" Bai Su stopped when he said this, and his whole person fell into a painful memory.
The Queen Mother nodded: "Love is not something that I can control, because it is uncontrollable, so it is normal to do anything, and this palace is just to defend my love." ”
"Well, because of defense, will you hurt?" Bai Su stopped and looked at his dagger quietly, as if he was talking to it.
The Queen Mother stopped talking, she knew that her life was like this today, and once a person knew her future, she would be free and calm.
"You take the life of this palace, please let go of the son of this palace, those grievances and grievances in the previous life should have been ended a long time ago, and there is no need to continue." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she picked up a knife from the table next to her and put it on her neck, everyone didn't react, and no one even stopped her, so the Queen Mother killed herself in front of everyone.
There was silence.
Then there was a mournful cry, Shen Zhongbai rushed to the side of the queen mother's corpse, and hugged the corpse that was bleeding down her neck, the corpse was already stiff, as if it was the reason for the blood to drain, the blood stained her clothes red, her eyes were closed, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, but the whole thing still looked so miserable.
This woman, who has been in the harem for so many years, ended her life like this.
Shen Zhongbai knelt on the ground and cried loudly, this Queen Mother was his biological mother, and in this palace, the two of them were two people connected by blood.
It was destined to be a tragic day for him, he had lost his child and mother on this day, and when he turned his head to look around, his eyes were already wet with blood, and all of them were red as far as the eye could see.
He got up step by step, holding the body of the Queen Mother, and the bloody footprints were so obvious in the darkness.
There was a dark tide surging around, and he shouted like crazy: "Kill them!" Not a single one to stay! ”
Finally, some guards rushed out of many paths, these are the guards in the palace, the secret guards are almost dead, and the remaining guards are basically the last cards in the palace.
After staring at the body of the Queen Mother for a few seconds, Bai Su turned to the person in red behind him and said, "Withdraw." ”
After saying that, he turned around and picked up the queen by the waist and flew out with her.
The guards behind him rushed up like a tide, followed and caught up, entangled with Bai Su's men in red clothes.
Bai Su had obviously fulfilled his wishes, and he had no nostalgia for his subordinates, and it seemed that he really wanted to sacrifice those subordinates in exchange for the time he could escape.
When the day dawned, Bai Su had already taken the queen up the mountain.
They sat on the edge of a pool under a waterfall where the fog was thick and visibility was low, and Bai Su washed his clothes with water, then wiped his bloody dagger, and finally fell to the ground, turning his head to look at the queen.
The weather was too cold, and when Bai Su did all this, it was as if he couldn't feel cold.
"How can you withstand such cold water on such a cold day?" The queen said, and she took a handful in her hand and drank two sips.
Bai Su pillowed his arm and looked at the sky quietly, but in fact, he couldn't see anything.
"Before I was 10 years old, I had never eaten a hot meal with hot water, but I am a person who likes to be clean, and I have to wash myself clean in the winter." Bai Su said slowly, his voice was very good, like the gurgling water around him, which smoothed all the anxiety in people's hearts.
He closed his eyes, and when he said this, he seemed to be calm, but the queen read a hint of loneliness in them.
He was only ten years old, and at a time when he knew nothing and had faith in the world, he got nothing.
