"Xiao Xue'er, my cousin is going to do something now."

Xia Xue asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

The man who had been walking in the snow didn't seem to hear Xia Xue's question, and muttered to himself, "There is something that must be done, must be done." ”

The unwavering hatred in his eyes had left him empty, and no one could stop him from making the decision now.

Perhaps, Liancheng was born out of hatred from the beginning, and he lived in hatred all his life and couldn't extricate himself.

The bright moon is just right, the incense is heavy, and the people who are waiting beside the Great Khan are walking in the empty verandah of the Queen Mother's Palace, and the minions along the way have long been screened away by excuses.

'A slight squeak' pushed open the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and it was very dark inside, only a candle flame shone in the darkness, and the fluttering light veil fluttered around it was even more bleak and empty.

The Queen Mother was dressed in plain clothes and sat quietly at the head of the bed, the faint candle flame flickering on her face, and her vain eyes were always fixed on the candlelight.

Tonight's minions suddenly disappeared, and she felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, her guess was right.

The person who came bowed his body respectfully and said, "The servant was ordered by the Great Khan to bring a thing and a word to the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother's gaze turned to him and sighed leisurely, "This day is still here." ”

Since Huan'er's death and Liancheng succeeded to the throne, she has lived nearly three years of worrying days, and she will wake up from her dreams every night.

When facing Liancheng, she always recalls the scene of murdering Jinxiu many years ago, although she is not the mastermind, but Liancheng's eyes are like ready to kill herself at any time every time, and the past three years are like a nightmare.

I thought he would let himself go for the sake of Ahuan's affection for him, but ...... Hehe, I should have died, didn't I?!

"The Great Khan said that life must always be returned." After that, he took out the small porcelain bottle that Da Khan handed over to him from his cuff, and slowly walked towards the Queen Mother, "Taking this medicine will only make the Queen Mother cough for a long time, and finally vomit blood and die." Tomorrow, the whole world will know that you are old and seriously ill and die, and the Great Khan will definitely bury you.

"Great Khan?" She sneered and looked sharply at the small bottle of medicine in his hand, "So, the mourning family is still grateful to him?" "If it weren't for Ah Huan's will, he thought he would be able to become this Great Khan?!

After a moment of silence and without hesitation, the Queen Mother took the bottle of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

Yes, she had expected this day a long time ago, but it was only three years late. Liancheng is right, life always has to be returned, and she has no attachment in this world, Huan'er has died early, Aqi doesn't know life and death, and now she doesn't have a love together, her relatives have left her one by one, and now the result is a total happiness.

Huan'er, my mother saw you later......

……

Late at night, I was awakened by a loud noise outside, and my gut told me that something big had happened.

I suddenly sat up from the bed, put on a thin shirt and opened the palace gate, and looked at the minions running to and fro in the dark night in the heavy snow, and the anxious expressions of each of them were unusually clear in the light of the lanterns.

I casually pulled a palace maid and asked, "What's going on so panicking?" ”

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, "The Queen Mother died of illness." ”

The Queen Mother died of illness?

I was stunned, it took a long time to come back to my senses, did I die so soon, Liancheng Yanping must be very happy at this moment......

I rolled my eyes and suddenly saw three snowmen piled up in the heavy snow, I casually pulled up the placket of my clothes and walked into the long snowstorm, the cold snowflakes whistling and lapping on me, and I didn't feel cold.

The night was dark, and I could barely see the three snowmen by the faint candlelight in the hands of the minions, flickering bright and dark.

I chuckled and squatted down, my fingertips stroked the cold snowman, and a smile appeared on my face, only Xia Xue would build these three snowmen.

I think the smallest one must be Xia Xue. Are these two her imaginary fathers and mothers? Although the pile is not very similar to Mrs. Lan and Ah Huan.

"How could the Queen Mother die like this......"

"I heard the imperial doctor say that the Queen Mother was suddenly ill, and no one thought ......"

"That concubine ......"

"Don't mention the concubine, the concubine doesn't care about anything now!"

"Good. Got it. ”

"But it's really a little strange tonight, the minions of the Queen Mother's Palace are gone......"

"Shhhh......h

I was drawn to these words, and stared sideways at the ladies who were walking a few steps behind me, muttering and discussing. Their words made me suspicious, could it be that the death of the Queen Mother was done by someone else? Could it be Liancheng......

No, if he wants to deal with the Queen Mother, why didn't he deal with it three years ago and wait until today?

"See the Great Khan!" A few whispering minions screamed, and immediately fell to their knees in the cold snow, trembling and bowing their heads, for fear that what they had just said had been heard by the Great Khan.

When I heard the sound, I looked, and the wind blew the corners of the city's clothes, fluttering and fluttering. The hair was covered in snow-white winter snow, as if dyed with a layer of frost.

Why did he come again, I remember telling him not to come at noon...... I really don't want to be accused of being a disaster in the south, and I'm still being accused of being a disaster here. And he, a great khan, has never been ridiculed by the people of the world, although the relationship between me and Liancheng is not as shameless as they say.

Liancheng waved his hand to signal that they could retreat, and squatted down side by side with me with a gloomy face against the heavy snow, picking up the snow-white snow in the palm of his hand with both hands, and staring blankly for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I asked, "The Queen Mother died, why are you still here?" ”

"I sent someone to kill the Queen Mother." When he said this, he was so ordinary, as if what he said was not a human life at all, "Do you think these three snowmen look like a family?" ”

Just when I was speechless for a long time under the shock of his admission to killing the Queen Mother, he suddenly changed the topic like this, so that my mind couldn't reflect it for a while, so I had to nod my head and say, "Like." ”

Liancheng's body seemed to freeze, and he stared at me with a complicated gaze for a long time, and did not speak.

It's uncomfortable to be stared at by his eyes, am I saying something wrong?

I suddenly came back to my senses, realized something, and smiled a little awkwardly, "They're a family." It's a pity that we can never be together. ”

His brow furrowed, the snow in his hand was already tightly pinched in the palm of his hand, and the droplets of melted ice and snow were cut off by his fingertips.

I was chilled down my spine by the strange atmosphere at the moment, so I looked away at Mei Rui's new makeup, and there was silence, and a few pink plum petals came with the wind and cut off my palm.

"You know what, I'm not happy...... I thought I would be happy when she died, but no, I just felt empty in my heart. As soon as his hand loosened, the tightly pinched snowball rolled to the ground.

"After hating for so many years, the great revenge was finally avenged, but today I found that I was not as happy as I imagined, and I even found that I had forgotten what I hated! Are you ridiculous, you say? Liancheng's mood fluctuated a little, his breathing was rapid, and there were obvious bloodshots in his eyes, and suddenly he laughed, very wild, "Remember what you once said?" If I could help the world, you would never speak for Xiao Jincheng again, would you? ”

"Yes." Today's Liancheng is really different from usual, almost close to madness, and has lost his usual calmness and calmness, is it really because of the relationship between the Queen Mother?

He nodded, and said, "Remember what I told you that if the Khitan unifies the world, you will live with us." If the Khitan is destroyed by the south, you will be buried with us. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, since you remember everything, I'll order someone to write a battle post now, and I want to win Xiao Jincheng on the battlefield with dignity, no matter whether it succeeds or fails!"

"What?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but looking at the seriousness in his eyes, I could clearly see how serious he was about it.

Liancheng suddenly looked back, stared at the snowmen, and muttered, "Family...... It's so nice. ”

I was puzzled by his hot and cold expression at the moment, "Liancheng, ...... you?"

"Now, you can repair a letter and tell Xiao Jincheng that I will compete with him on the battlefield in a month. I still want to see Lian Chengsi, and I have to make sure that she is unharmed. You can write the rest of the content carefully, and after you finish writing, send it to the imperial study and I will seal it. He slowly got up and looked down at me, his eyes gradually changing from the first gloomy to the gloomy, and finally to the clear.

Seeing his eyes so clean for the first time, he can really let go of his personal grudges and really have a gentleman's battle.

There is no doubt that Liancheng really saw through it, what was the reason for him to see through it? The death of the Queen Mother?

"Xia Xue needs a mother, please give her more care. The grudge between me and you will be settled after this war. He smiled and reached out and patted my forehead like a puppy.

When Xue'er woke me up with a lantern in her hand, Liancheng was already gone, and the snowflakes had already crushed me.

"Mother, the wind and snow are so big, you wear so thin and come out to build a snowman, you will freeze your body." Her voice was faint, but the worry could still be heard.

She held an umbrella in her hand to block the snow above my head, looked sideways at the snowman beside me, she looked at it with the lamp, pursed her lips and smiled, "Are they all built by you, it's very similar, especially this one, it's really like you." ”

"Me?" Startled by her words, she looked at the snowman through the candlelight, and then she clearly saw that the three snowmen moved their lips, but they couldn't make any sound, so they could only stand stiffly and stare at the envoy for a long time.

Liancheng really said what he said, when I brought a letter to Liancheng, I was afraid that he would regret it, but I didn't expect him to just look at it and put off his seal, I know that the seal represents an emperor's promise.

At that time, I had a lot of things I wanted to ask Liancheng, but I didn't know where to start, after that snowy night, I always felt weird, but I couldn't say what was weird, maybe I was too suspicious.
