The queen let out a long breath. As long as it is not a rebellion, the Great Zhou Dynasty will still be saved. She thinks that she is not a smart woman, and she can't be compared with the prince and princess of Zhongshun, but she has been in a high position for a long time, and she often communicates with the noble ladies and relatives, and the queen also knows something about the affairs of the court.

Whether the world is stable or not is not all in Li Qitian, but in Xiao Xiao. If he is willing to be a minister, everything is easy to say. But if the has the heart of rebellion, Li Qitian will not be able to resist it at all. This is also the reason why Li Qitian wants to eradicate Xiao Xiao several times.

As long as they do not rebel, they will not suffer from the enemy, and there is hope that the current crisis can be solved.

The queen laughed and persuaded: "The Holy Lord is angry, Prince Zhongshun is ordered to provide disaster relief, and it is also his duty to purchase food to feed the people, so don't be angry." This is the time when the Holy Lord and his courtiers need to work together to fight against the Tatars. ”

The queen's voice was not hurried, and she carefully observed Li Qitian's expression and finished speaking, but she didn't see Li Qitian angry on the spot, and the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, secretly thinking that the saint was also a smart person after all, and would not act indiscriminately at such a critical time.

But who knew that her breath was relieved too early, Li Qitian looked at the queen with a calm face for a long time, and suddenly grabbed something casually and threw it at the queen.

The two were not far away, and the queen was defenseless, only to feel a buzzing in her head, and a hard object hit her forehead, which made her eyes black in pain, and even lost her mind for a moment.

Looking at the porcelain plate that fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, Li Qitian's roar was like a roaring lion: "Good, very good!" I have raised a few queens over the years! ”

As soon as the queen came back to her senses, she heard this, and her heart jumped, and she immediately realized that she was too talkative.

Lifting the hem of her skirt and kneeling, the queen kowtowed three times in a row, and she didn't care about the pain in her ears and her head.

"The saint is angry, and the concubines are all for the sake of the saint. Now is the time when there is an urgent need to resist the Tatars, and I really don't think about any other time. The saint is the king of the world, everything is clear and clear, and the concubines are also concerned about the chaos before they say more. The concubine should not interfere in the government, and the concubine no longer dares. ”

Li Qitian squinted at the figure of the queen, and his anger eased slightly.

He still knows something about his wife. This woman is an ordinary village woman, kind-hearted, and quick to work, she is destined to marry him, so she has the opportunity to be the queen, and she has been keeping to herself all these years, and she has never participated in the affairs of the court. She is stupid in her life and work......

If you can be a person and do things, where will you intercede for Xiaoxiao?

Although Li Qitian could think about it, he still couldn't calm down, and mocked: "It's people like you who don't distinguish between inside and outside." Those ministers in the court have their own factions and have their own considerations, but I didn't expect you to be the same, it's really disgusting! ”

The queen was cold, like a cold winter moon thrown into an ice cave.

Back then, when they were only ordinary couples, even if they couldn't talk about how much honey and oil they had, they were still husband and wife.

It's just that Li Qitian climbs higher and higher, and she is getting farther and farther away from him, and now she can't look down on her anymore!

She is old and yellow, but there are many girls in the palace who are delicate and delicate. Thinking about being a husband and wife for many years, now Li Qitian has seen all the prosperity, even if the family affection has been wiped out?

Although she can comfort herself and think about it like this, there is a voice in the queen's mind that denies her, Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining have also been married for many years, but Xiao Xiao will never be like Li Qitian did to her, make her ugly in public, make her lose face, and even do something to her.

The queen lowered her head and pursed her lips, not knowing how to persuade Li Qitian, nor what else to say, she only felt disheartened and lazy, and had no heart to care about what Li Qitian was going to do.

Li Qitian saw that the queen no longer spoke, and for a while he also felt that Kunning Palace was not interested, and when he saw the queen's appearance, he was even more disgusted, so he immediately got up and went out.

The Son of Heaven was furious in the queen's palace and even smashed the queen with dishes. The news spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the inner palace. When those concubines came to greet the next day, they still couldn't help but look at the queen's bruised forehead a few more times, and some even laughed wildly in their hearts.

The queen sat in the first place, smiling deservedly, but her mind was no longer here.

There was a temptation in the words of the concubine, which made the queen annoyed for a while.

She simply said bluntly: "The war outside, this palace will not talk about it, I think you have all heard about it." The Tatar soldiers and horses are like a bamboo, our dynasty is invincible, and Dingbei Hou has no choice but to retreat to the capital with the handsome army. ”

There was silence in the room, and the concubines seemed to be in no mood to explore the queen's injuries.

Ji Zeyu retreated to the capital with soldiers and horses, and there were Tatars outside the walls of the capital. Once the city is broken, where will they still be able to survive?

"Niangniang, did the Holy Lord say how our sisters should be settled?" A concubine asked a bold question.

The queen smiled slightly, looked at the young woman who was like a flower, and said gently: "You and my sisters are all concubines of the saint, and if you don't listen to a word, if there is really such a day, you and I will naturally have to keep the festival for the saint." ”

So these concubines, if they really catch up with the defeat, they will have to wipe their necks collectively?

There was a young man who was already frightened and white-faced, and there were even those who cried on the spot.

The queen said: "It hasn't progressed to that stage now, and it's not like we're defeated." But this palace is saying this here to remind you sisters. These days, everyone thinks about it, if there are any regrets, it's too early, if you miss your family, write a letter as soon as possible, if there is really that day, this palace will not allow anyone to betray the saint. ”

The queen squinted at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember clearly?" ”

"Yes." The women stood up and saluted.

The queen nodded, told everyone to disperse, and ordered the grandmother next to her to go to the cold palace: "Go and tell the palace maid who is in charge of the cold palace." It's time for Concubine Shun to do the same. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

The queen's arrangements made the concubines panic one by one, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Some people cry under the quilt when they go back, and some people are in a hurry to write letters home, wanting to find a way to live.

For a while, there was a rumor in the palace, and even the Queen Mother and Li Helan heard the news.

The two had no time to blame the queen, for they too fell into fear.

The Queen Mother was older, but she didn't calm down, when she thought that she was the emperor's mother, she just had nowhere to run, so she couldn't help but feel sad, and hugged Li Helan and cried one after another.

On the contrary, Li Helan was more calm.

She is Ji Zeyu's wife, if Ji Zeyu dies in battle, she will definitely be captured by the Tatars**, if there is really such a day, as the queen said, they are probably all a white silk hanging on their lives.

Thinking about this, Li Helan calmed down, what matters at this time is not to worry about his own way out, but to try his best to make Da Zhou survive this crisis.

Li Helan told the Queen Mother about her analysis and thoughts, and the Queen Mother immediately ordered someone to find Li Qitian.

Li Qitian is very busy, where do you still have the heart to come to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace? The Queen Mother couldn't see anyone, so she had to ask the attendants around her to send a message to Li Qitian: "Just tell the Son of Heaven, say what the mourning family said, the most important thing at the moment is how to keep the Great Zhou Dynasty from being trampled by the Tatars, Xiao Zhixi has been on the battlefield for a long time, if he cooperates with Ji Lan, he will definitely be able to repel the Tatars, let the Son of Heaven think about it carefully, and take a long-term view." ”

The chamberlain listened to the words of the Queen Mother and listened to the hot sweat in his head, he didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes. But if he goes, he also has a bad premonition, and the saint may not let him go. This situation is basically a dead end.

But the chamberlain had no choice but to go to the imperial study, remove the edge of the Queen Mother's words, and relay the meaning.

Li Qitian sat on the paulownia table in the imperial study, and gradually strengthened his hand, grabbing the bright yellow brocade table coat, "You dog slave, what the Queen Mother said?" ”

"Back to the saint, it is true that the Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to say so." The attendant kowtowed again and again, and felt that his life was at stake.

Li Qitian sneered coldly, "I can't help the court with things, but I never delay when I cause chaos." ”

The waiter didn't dare to talk to him, and he hated to be if he didn't exist.

"You go and tell the Queen Mother, let her old man get ready, if the Tatars really break the city, the Queen Mother will always be an example, is it that the Queen Mother has been wise all her life, and she is not as knowledgeable as the Queen?"

This is clearly to prepare the Queen Mother to "hit the road".

The chamberlain bowed in horror and retreated.

When he returned to Ci'an Palace, he said the Holy Lord's orders, and as expected, the Queen Mother suddenly got up and said angrily: "Nonsense! How could the Son of Heaven talk to the mourning family like this, it wasn't you cheap slave who made it up! ”

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, even if the slave maid has the courage to falsely preach the holy decree. That's exactly what the Holy One said. ”

The queen mother has been dizzy with anger, and she is like thunder, if it weren't for her identity as the queen mother, she is no longer the village woman she used to be, she is afraid that she has scolded what dirty and smelly things are.

The Queen Mother is still so flustered, let alone others?

In the entire palace, from top to bottom, there was no one who did not panic. Look around for a way to survive.

Although Li Qitian was hanging about the court, he had heard several versions of the rumors in the palace.

Before he reached the capital, someone had already concluded that he would be defeated.

Won't he really get over this hurdle this time?

It was three days later when everything was ready and the army was ready to go.

Qin Yining held a delicate Shuangliang carved hand warmer, carefully supported by Xiao Xiao and walked out of the inner house of the Qin Mansion, left the side door in a carriage, and went all the way to the gate of the old capital.

The dark clouds of the owl's mount followed the carriage, and the rest of the guards guarded the carriage from front to back, left and right.

Who knew that as soon as everyone came out of the city gate and saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.
