Chapter 978: The Final Chapter
Shen Shu's reaction was extremely fast, kicking the Si Le man to the ground, and just when he reached the swing of the sword, he turned over and climbed up, Shen Shu pounced into the air, and turned his head to continue tracking the figure of the person.
Shen Shu took a stride, came to the side of the Steller man, grabbed his hand holding the dagger, with a slight force in the hand, made a "click" sound, when he came back to his senses, the shoulder had been dislocated, the Sleren gasped, but did not howl, he endured the pain and wanted to swing the knife to slash at Shen Shu, but told him to dodge dexterously.
Shen Shu took the sword and kicked the Steller to the ground, and as the figure squatted, the long sword fell vertically, and stabbed into the chest of the Sler, the man lying on the ground trembled violently, holding the blade with the uninjured hand and trying to leave, but finally helpless, after a few struggles, there was no movement.
Whole. The movements were smooth, don't say a little hesitation, Shen Shu didn't have the slightest pity, and only needed a sword to end his life.
"Brother-" Si Binbin's crying and screaming voice came from behind him, Shi Qing turned his head in a daze, only to see that Si Binbin desperately opened a crack in the door, no matter how the girl behind him stopped, the whole person struggled out desperately like a frightened rabbit.
The person behind him failed to hold him, Si Binbin stumbled and fell beside Si Leren, his thin body curled up, and the sunlight above his head stretched his shadow, and he looked so lonely.
Si Binbin buried his head in Si Leren's hand, his body trembled, making people feel as if they would drift away with a gust of wind, and his cry spread all around, shaking people's hearts and feeling unbearable grief.
Tears continued to flow out of Si Binbin's eyes like beads with broken threads, he buried his head, gritted his teeth, and bit out a strong taste of blood, Si Binbin swallowed the blood and saliva together, still gritting his teeth and letting the tears flow.
The whole world seemed to be quiet, Shi Qingqian came back to his senses, hurriedly shook off the sword in his hand, turned his head to hug Yao'er who ran out, Lu Wei Xiaolian and the others stood at the door and sobbed lowly, Zheng's mother kept pressing her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, Shen Shu glanced at Si Le Ren's corpse again, and then moved his gaze to Si Binbin, who was crying uncontrollably, and only after a moment did he look at Shi Qingqi and Yao'er.
Yao'er finally saw his father's eyes, he gently let go of Shi Qingqian, and ran to Shen Shu's side like crazy, Shen Shu picked him up with one hand, held him in his arms and gently tossed him.
The people and horses he brought had already subdued King Ning's people, and when they saw Shen Shu waving his hand gently, everyone consciously began to pack up the battlefield one after another, the corpse of the forbidden army was carried out, and the wounded were dragged out of the Yanwang Mansion through the side door, and after many people began to move, a group of people came out from outside the courtyard wall.
Changwu took Xue Ying's hand and hit his head, and the third master followed behind him, everyone was not refreshing, and they were so dirty that they were almost out of shape. Chang Wu stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the rebels at the front gate have been cleaned up, a letter has come to the palace, General He Xiao has defeated General Wu's men and horses, and all the rebels have been captured!" ”
Hearing this, everyone in the middle of the hidden moon gradually smiled, and before they knew it, the sun overhead broke through the gloomy clouds, bringing a piece of light. Shen Shu turned sideways slightly, and was greeted by Shi Qingqian's familiar and bright face, although he was a little tired and worried, his eyes were still spotless, clean and bright.
……
In the imperial city, Shen Mi raised his eyes to look at the mess all over the ground, King Ning's clothes were scattered, his face was covered with blood, he was escorted by He Yan and Feiyun behind him, and the cow tendon ropes soaked in water were tied so that there was no way to struggle, He Yan would no longer pity this person, that is, Princess Ning was also tied up by people, and several soldiers who lost their brothers in this battle drove her viciously.
The prince and princess, who were infinitely beautiful and domineering in the past, have now become prisoners of the ranks.
The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield outside, picked up their swords and dragged away the corpses, and splashed hot salt water on the ground to wash away the devastation on the ground.
In the house, Shi Yueran sat on the fragrant concubine couch paved with Shu brocade, silently took a cup of steaming ginseng tea from the hand of the palace maid, and the ornaments in the house were also destroyed a lot, she was more like sitting in a ruin.
"Your Majesty...... Already known? After taking a sip of ginseng tea, Shi Yueran looked up in disbelief. She still had tears on her face, and she looked very pitiful.
Shen Mi nodded lightly, at this moment, the army should have surrounded Si Zihui's palace, and the woman who had been with Si Le for so many years should finally have to pay some price. He lightly touched the jade seal placed on the desk, and sighed: "For so many years, I have been afraid of this day all the time, I have endured them silently for so long, whether it is wanton forming a party in the court, or whether Concubine Tang is secretly trying to gain power and fight against me!" I'm afraid that the incident will happen suddenly, and I can't protect you and Ji'er...... Finally...... It's finally over! It's finally over! ”
Shi Yueran was slightly surprised, only to see Shen Mi's eyes on the other side clear and bright, his expression was not the same as before, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that in the past few years, the emperor's temperament has not changed greatly, all this is pretended!?" ”
Shen Mi nodded lightly, and suddenly revealed an incomparably bright smile, this smile has not been seen for many years, it is Shi Yueran who saw it, and felt very unfamiliar, "You are my queen, how can I not love you and respect you?" It's just that Si Zihui has colluded with outsiders these days, and I have already suspected that Si Le's people are in a bad mood, and they pretend to be pampered, which is really a cliché. ”
After speaking, the woman opposite was already full of tears, how many days and nights she had been completely dead to the feelings in this deep palace, looking at Shen Mi and other women as companions, her heart was unhappy, but she didn't let her face confide in a single penny, let some people who didn't know the severity of the burden on her head to spread wild, and now she understood that the original alienation was just for protection, in order to make the thief take his attention away from his body......
Shi Yueran couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly threw herself into Shen Mi's arms, the emperor and queen hugged each other tightly, tears blended, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the side couldn't bear to sobb softly, especially that Li Dehai, who cried more ugly than laughing, so he had to cover his face with his sleeves low.
Before King Ning was pressed down, he said that he had been lying on his salary for so many years, why was God so unfair. Shen Mi only looked at the embarrassed person indifferently.
Who wouldn't? He gently touched the wound on his abdomen, which had not yet healed, and the light touch through the fabric of the cloth was also a terrifying trace.
Shen Mi wiped away her tears, asked someone to send Shi Yueran back, and she came to the ancestral hall set up quietly.
Shen Mi raised his head and looked straight at a portrait on the incense case—the portrait of the former emperor Shen Lun.
He remembered that since he was a child, he was never his father's favorite child, let alone the most dazzling one, but he was quietly arranged by his father to write a bunch of endless homework, and his father came to see his mother, bringing more reprimands and harsh reproaches to himself. When his mother died, his father never had any pity for him, and he had to play hot outside in those years, and he had to bow his head when he returned to the palace.
He has always had low self-esteem, thinking that he is the one who is least valued, even if the crown prince Shen Xuan is disposed of, he has never felt that he will be the one who makes his father look at him - he is not as talented as Shen Shu, let alone a powerful mother, only himself.
But now, everything is clear.
"Father," a tear slid down his cheek, and Shen Mi said softly, "Erchen finally didn't disappoint you. ”
