Chapter 103

Chu Muxiu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, there was no regression so far, he could only advance but not retreat. Think about the thousands of troops and horses behind him, think about the people of Li in Tianyue, think about Qian Che who is still suffering in prison, he is gambling with his life, but he is afraid to move forward, how can he be worthy of Qian Che's death?

Chu Muxiu remembered that when he was a child, his mother took him to sit on the city tower, pointed to the sky and said to him that people should have great ambitions, he glanced at the tall buildings in front of him, those good times accompanied by his mother seemed to be vivid, he could grow up happily under the care of his mother, but Chu Hanyuan's mother and son took his mother's life, and since then his life has only been dark, there is only revenge in his eyes, his heart is gradually closed and then freezes, and he lives completely unhuman. Thinking of this, a faint sadness welled up in my heart. He said, "Now that everything is ready, if you don't face it head-on, the longer it drags on, it will only give Chu Hanyuan more time to prepare, and a few more chances to win." ”

"Yes!" General Luo and Wu Deqing didn't say anything more and agreed.

He looked straight ahead, and said in a righteous manner, "Soldiers listen to orders, move forward quickly, and attack the imperial city!"

A team of people and horses marched into the imperial city, menacing, giving people an unstoppable feeling.

I didn't dare to stop all the way, and I ran as hard as I could. I ran to the gate of the southern city but Chu Muxiu was no longer there, I followed the steps of the army all the way into the palace, the imperial city that was heavily guarded in the past did not even have a Yulin army, I easily mixed into the imperial city, and no one in the imperial city was so quiet that it made people feel terrible.

The palace of Nuoda made me lose my direction all of a sudden, it was like a labyrinth, I couldn't figure it out, there was no one left and I was left alone. I ran to an attic, and just as I wanted to enter, a few palace maids passed by, and I deftly hid behind the rockery. I saw two palace maids helping the Queen Mother walk in, and when the door closed, I tiptoed over, leaning outside the door and listening carefully to their conversation.

The Queen Mother asked, "How is that slut in the cold palace recently?" ”

The palace maid said: "According to your orders, I haven't sent food to Shen Shu for two days, I'm afraid it's ......."

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth flashed with a sinister smile: "Later, you will send this bowl of soup to her." ”

"If Your Majesty knew that you had poisoned his beloved with poison, I am afraid that he would hate you."

"Then do it cleanly and don't let him know, when the time comes, it will be said that Xiliang is dead, and the queen is depressed and unwilling to eat, and finally goes with His Majesty Xiliang."

The palace maid was still a little hesitant, but she resigned, "But ......"

"But what, it wasn't so unaware when Nanxiang's daughter was poisoned in her food, and now it's the queen's turn, as long as your hands and feet are nimble and clean, you will definitely be able to do it seamlessly, and one day in the future, Your Majesty will understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family."

I leaned against the door, instantly dumbfounded, only to feel a softness under my feet, a chill behind my back, it turned out that it was the Queen Mother who poisoned me, there were conspiracies everywhere around me, calculations everywhere, Huancheng was really terrible, the palace was really terrible. It is rumored that the queen mother of the world is just a ruthless villain, and it is precisely because of such a mother that such a son and such a cruel king have been created.

After the two people in the door finished talking, the palace maid walked out with a bowl of soup, I followed her all the way, she was very vigilant and turned back step by step, sure enough, she was doing bad things and was weak, fortunately I was not found out of my light steps.

I came to a palace with the palace maid, where there was no grass, extremely desolate, the door was written with the word "cold palace", it turned out that this so-called cold palace was really so depressed, if I lived in such a place, it was better to die.

The palace maid went in first, and I kept standing still until the palace maid came out and I dared to sneak in quietly. As soon as I entered, I saw the queen holding a bowl of soup, and was about to swallow it in one gulp, my expression was undecided, and my eyes quickly knocked over the soup in her hand, "This soup is poisonous!" ”

The soup was spilled on the ground, licked by the cat in the house, and in a few moments the cat screamed madly and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The queen looked at me in astonishment, and as if there were many questions in her eyes, she said, "How do you know that this soup is poisonous?" ”

I still have lingering palpitations about her, and subconsciously I still don't want to deal with her, I said, "I just heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and the palace maid, and the Queen Mother instructed the palace maid to drug your soup in a vain attempt to kill you." ”

She didn't even scold or complain, she looked relaxed, I don't know if she was not afraid of death or she was used to it, her calm appearance made me feel terrified.

"Thank you."

She said it was far-fetched, and I didn't answer again because I didn't want her to think I was trying to save her.

Chu Muxiu's army was stopped by His Majesty's men and horses before he reached the imperial city, and the opposite side came the same army, the number of which was obviously twice as many as Chu Muxiu's, and the momentum was not lost to Chu Muxiu at all, and even above Chu Muxiu, His Majesty sat on horseback in armor, commanding thousands of troops and horses behind him, so not majestic.

The tragic experiences of his childhood surfaced in Chu Muxiu's mind one by one, and he couldn't wait to drain Chu Hanyuan's blood, peel off the skin, and then chop it up. The two of them held each other like this, not speaking but facing each other with fierce eyes. No one dared to pant loudly, even the horses were so knowledgeable that they didn't dare to bark, and there was a strong ** smell in the air, as if everyone would be crushed as soon as this smell dispersed.

Chu Hanyuan raised his hand at the commander behind him, and the commander pressed Qian Che to the front, Qian Che's face was pale, his body was full of injuries, his hair was messy, and there was a blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the whole person had no spirit at all, and he was spread out on the leader's body like soft mud.

Chu Muxiu looked at Qian Che who was in such pain, and his heart was really a little bitter, and tears were almost falling.

Chu Hanyuan shouted to Chu Muxiu on the opposite side through thousands of troops and horses: "Chu Muxiu, don't you value love and righteousness, now your brother is in my hands, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender to me, I guarantee that he is safe and sound." ”

Without waiting for Chu Muxiu to speak, Qian Che said hoarsely, "Your Highness don't care about me, Your Highness has endured humiliation for so many years to do it today, and it is not a pity for me to die." ”

Chu Hanyuan stabbed Qian Che's chest fiercely with a sword, and a bright red blood gushed out from Qian Che's mouth, Chu Muxiu's face was hideous, and tears fell down all of a sudden. He raised the long sword in his hand and roared angrily, "Kill! ”

In an instant, the two armies quickly intertwined, from a distance it looked like a dense swarm of ants, they raised their weapons and slashed at the enemy, they fought, ruthlessly plundered their lives, circles of blood poured out of them, flowing on the ground and dyeing the floor red, they were all the people of Tianyue, and now they were involved in a fight for no reason, it was really sad and lamentable.

I was still sitting in the cold palace, and the green pothos ran in from outside, knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Niangniang is not good, Your Majesty's men and horses and His Royal Highness King Yi's army have already fought, the scene was uncontrollable for a while, this battle killed and injured 10,000 people, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace have fled for their lives!" ”

The queen's heart tightened: "What did you say?" ”

Before I could make up my mind, the queen got up and grabbed me, and said, "You go quickly, your majesty will come in later, and you will be in danger here!" ”

The queen pushed me out while talking, my heart was in a mess, my eyes were blurred all of a sudden, the queen's words echoed in my ears over and over again, far and near, up and down, but I always couldn't hear clearly, I shook my head vigorously to make myself sober.

The queen asked in a panic: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”

I only felt that my whole body was burning like fire, and my throat was so hot that I couldn't say a word, and I knew that my poison must have flare up again, and every time the puppet's poison attacked, the blood and blood flowed backwards like ten thousand arrows piercing my heart, and every time I was in pain, I wanted to die.

Vaguely I felt someone stuff something into my mouth, and when I woke up again, my head didn't hurt so much, I only slept for a while, and suddenly I had some strength in my body, and I got up from the bed and saw the queen sitting with her back to me.

As soon as I got up, the queen came to help me, and she asked me with a solemn face, "Have you fallen for the puppet incense?" ”

When she said something in my heart, I wanted to speak and stopped, my eyes drifting around and I didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to hide it, do you still think I'm going to hurt you?"

"I was poisoned, but what did you just give me, and why did I get some relief from my headache after eating?"

"Puppet incense, is it poisoned by the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, I just found out."

"Most of the puppet grass comes from Xiliang, to be honest, what I gave you just now was the Soul Returning Pill I brought from Xiliang, I was weak and sick when I was a child, and my father asked me for medicine everywhere and did not get better, once I almost died thanks to an old urchin named Wuxiangzi who saved me, that Soul Returning Pill was given to me by him, you might as well go to Xiliang to find him, maybe there is a glimmer of life."

The pothos hurriedly said to me, "Miss, let's go, Your Majesty's people will be here soon!" ”

I didn't have any thoughts about how to detoxify now, so I pulled the queen and said, "Let's go together!" ”

The queen broke my hand and turned her face to the other side, "I can't go, even if His Majesty attacks him, he will remember that our past feelings will not do anything to me, but you are different, he will definitely arrest you and use it to endanger His Royal Highness, you go quickly!" ”

"He disregarded the safety of the people and borrowed troops from the Wei State, the price was to cede half of the land on the border, have you ever thought that the border people will be displaced regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, he is no longer the Majesty who loves you, he can beat you into the cold palace before, and now he can kill you for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji!"

The queen's face gradually darkened, still unmoved, the green pothos ran over, held her hand tightly, tears flowed, "Niangniang, Miss is right, Your Majesty and Zhou Guifei are in love and love, Niangniang has been tortured in this cold palace Your Majesty has never looked at us from the future, Your Majesty has long since stopped putting Niangniang in your heart, Niangniang, let's go, let's go back to Xiliang!" ”

The queen's heart swelled with sourness, and when she talked about Xiliang, she didn't struggle anymore, held the hand of the pothos, and said tremblingly, "Okay, okay, let's go back to Xiliang together......"

The three of us quietly slipped out of the cold palace together, probably because His Majesty was about to attack in, the palace was full of patrolling Yulin troops, we escaped along the path, across the rockery, and we stood on the high city tower.

I saw two teams of men and horses mixing and tearing together, they waved the big knives in their hands and slashed at others, one after another, those people fell in a pool of blood one by one, Chu Muxiu's people were outnumbered, and it was obvious that they were about to be wiped out by His Majesty's Yulin Army. I saw Chu Muxiu riding on a war horse from a distance, his body was cut by a sword, his forehead and the corners of his mouth were bloody, His Majesty was not much better, and there was no good skin and flesh on his body. Chu Muxiu and His Majesty were fighting, every sword and every knife was a fatal blow, the two of them dismantled a few moves, it was obvious that Chu Muxiu was in the upper hand, Chu Muxiu jumped and kicked His Majesty in the chest a few times, His Majesty fell to the ground, leaving a blood in his mouth, and he couldn't get up. Then several Yulin troops attacked Chu Muxiu from behind, and Chu Muxiu no longer paid attention to His Majesty lying on the ground, and tore up with the Yulin army behind him.

Chu Muxiu only cared about fighting with the Yulin army in front of him, but he didn't expect that His Majesty behind him had already raised his knife and was walking towards Chu Muxiu little by little, I stood on the city tower and shouted Chu Muxiu's name, but he couldn't hear it, at the last moment, I only saw Wu Deqing rushing towards His Majesty, my heart had already raised my throat, I couldn't believe what would happen in the next moment.

I don't know when the queen left the city tower, I don't know what she ran to in front of His Majesty, when I came back to my senses, I only saw the queen in front of Your Majesty, I have never seen Your Majesty so panicked, Wu Deqing's big knife has pierced the queen's heart, and suddenly a stream of blood roared out of the queen's body like a flood, and the corners of her mouth were blood, how could she not stop.

The queen slowly weakened and was about to lie down, His Majesty hurried to catch the queen, he stretched out his hand to cover the queen's wound, his eyes kept looking out, and his mouth shouted, "Pass the imperial doctor, go and pass the imperial doctor......"

The queen held on to her last breath of strength and held His Majesty's hand tightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty should stop it, if it goes on like this, the whole Tianyue will be gone, and the concubine hopes that Your Majesty will be a wise monarch who cares about the world." ”

His Majesty didn't speak, just shed tears vigorously, I have never seen a king so embarrassed and helpless, like a child who has lost his favorite toy, and he stammered, "Why are you, why are you so stupid?" ”

The Queen's cold hand caressed His Majesty's face, a stream of hot tears crossed her cheeks, and she said with a stumbling voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty still remembers the first time we met, the first time we met, we, we ......"

"Don't talk anymore, I've never forgotten this, I remember, I remember......"

"Your Majesty." The queen's voice was very small, as if a gust of wind had blown it away, and His Majesty put his ear to the queen's mouth, only to hear her say, "Your Majesty, we, together, go back to Xiliang......"

The queen's hand slowly slipped down His Majesty's face, just hit His Majesty's palm, His Majesty finally couldn't help it, holding the queen and shaking it uncontrollably, he raised his head and shouted, "I will take you back to Xiliang, I will take you back to Xiliang!" ”
