Great Xia Imperial City, Zhengyang Palace.

The queen sat on the carved lacquered phoenix chair of the green gold rui beast, the red and yellow golden silk luan bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress hung on the red soft carpet of the phoenix peony, the wide cuffs were embroidered with silver phoenix, and the skirt was embroidered with red gold and gold thread moire, with the faint change of light, flashing with a faint light.

This most noble woman in the world frowned deeply at the moment, and her slightly pursed mouth contained a hint of anger.

Underneath the gold beaded bow shoes, a group of people knelt on the ground in black. At this moment, Zhengyang Palace fell into a strange silence, the queen did not speak, no one dared to speak, no one dared to move.

After a long time, Zhiyi stepped forward with a cup of hot tea and said respectfully, "Yu Niangniang, the son has settled down again." ”

The queen's brow furrowed slightly, and she took a sip of tea. When everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the teacup fell heavily on the saucer, and everyone's hearts that had just been put down immediately lifted again. The body unconsciously bent deeper than Fang Cai.

"Childe left the palace without permission, why didn't you dissuade him? And why don't you show the palace immediately? The queen's bland words resounded in the main hall, her voice was not loud, but it was enough to deterrent.

"Childe's order, subordinates have to obey." Hatsuichi knelt on the ground and replied.

"Presumptuous!" The queen waved her hand in anger and knocked over the saucer in Zhiyi's hand, Zhiyi's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately knelt down. The queen raised her eyebrows, "This is not what this palace wants to hear." ”

There was still silence below, the first party was a dead soldier rather than a fine work, and the queen couldn't open her mouth even if they knew what she wanted to know. can only repeat the guilt, "Please punish the mother!" ”

The queen knew that she couldn't ask anything if she went down any longer, so she waved her hand to Chu Yi, "You know what to do." ”

Chu Mian looked as usual, and he quickly drew a brown short sword, and at the same time, the dozen or so people kneeling behind him also drew the same short sword.

Absolutely faithful dead men make mistakes, and their punishment is by stabbing themselves in the shoulder, not hurting the vital but painful enough. Chu Yi didn't even blink his eyes, and he couldn't count how much of these pains he suffered during training.

The short sword was about to fall when a voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Stop!"

Outside the door, a young man in dark clothes walked in, he walked to the hall, and nodded slightly to the queen, "Let them go, I am bent on doing it." And they weren't wrong. ”

Hatsuichi looked up sharply and looked at the boy in disbelief. Although Childe is young, his mood is invisible, his mind is unpredictable, and he is a person who is colder than Xuefeng. He never dreamed that Childe would intercede for a group of dead soldiers.

Not only the first year of junior high school, but also the people kneeling behind the first year of junior high school were also full of shock.

The queen looked at the unusually boy below and asked, "You want to save them?" ”

The boy nodded.

"Yes." The queen agreed neatly, she looked at the expressionless boy, there was guilt in her eyes, but more helplessly. She sighed incomprehensibly, and then said aloud, "Take Childe back to the dark room, and you can't go out without my order." ”

"Rin'er, there will be a next time, and this palace will replace you with a new batch of dead soldiers." The queen looked at the boy and said lightly.

"Empress Xie." The boy didn't even salute, turned around and left, but when he passed by the side of the first hand, he paused and said coldly, "Don't get up yet." ”

Looking at the figure of the boy leaving, the queen's eyes that had always been calm finally rose and fell, and she muttered, "Zhiyi, did you hear what he just called me?" ”

Zhiyi buried her head in it, she had been by the queen's side for many years, and she knew that she shouldn't speak by herself at this time.

"He calls me Queen."

"Queen, Queen......"

The queen burst out laughing, but a crystal tear slowly slipped out of the corner of her bent eye. The empty hall continued to echo the queen's slightly poignant laughter, and she laughed and cried, and grabbed Zhiyi's hand.

"Zhiyi, am I wrong? For so many years, I have been trying to protect him! We are mother and son, mother and son! ”

The hand on Zhiyi's wrist suddenly sent, and the queen murmured with tears, "But now he refuses to call me even a queen mother......"

The ambergris is still burning, and the earth dragon is still warm. This seemingly noble palace, the queen who seems to have gotten everything, who knows how many tears and blood are hidden in the monstrous wealth. Zhiyi said softly, "Childe will understand Niangniang's hard work in the future." ”

"I hope so."

The queen's tone returned to flatness, she took out a brocade to wipe away her tears, and slowly reached out to put it on Zhiyi's wrist. The gaudy face didn't have much expression, but it looked more calm than usual. She glanced at the sunset that was about to set in the sky from afar, "Take the ginseng soup and accompany the palace to the Longyang Hall to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhiyi glanced at the little palace maid behind him, and helped the queen to walk forward slowly. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the queen's fiery phoenix robe, and the five phoenix hanging beads on the queen's head swayed gently with her steps.

The setting sun stretched her shadow long, long, and when she reached the door of the temple, she suddenly stopped. After a while, she lightly lifted her lips, "Everyone in the hall today will be killed." ”

As soon as he spoke, the guards guarding the door immediately rushed into the hall to carry out the order. The queen no longer stopped, and without looking back, she took Zhiyi's hand and slowly walked towards the step. Today, Rin Er suddenly appeared, and everyone who saw him had to die.

In this world, only the dead can keep secrets.

In the dark room, the boy in the dark clothes stood with his hands in his hands.

Standing behind him, Chu Yi felt a little cramped in his heart for the first time in his life. He hugged his sword and said, "Please forgive your sins." ”

"What are your sins?" The boy asked flatly.

"Subordinate......" Chu Yi thought about it and realized that it was right, but the queen said that he was wrong.

"If you are not guilty, why should you plead guilty?" The boy asked.

"The subordinates failed to meet the queen's wishes." Chu Yi answered honestly.

The boy turned around, "Who is your master?" ”

Chu Yi replied without hesitation, "Childe." ”

The boy walked into the inner room with his sleeves flicked up, "In this case, what does it matter if it is in line with the queen's wishes." The important thing is that it is in line with my heart. ”

Chu Yi looked at the boy's back blankly, and nodded, yes, the dead man is only loyal to one person, and that person is just a son, that's all.

A pebble flew over, and the second junior high school stepped forward and sat on the steps next to him and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Without waiting for the first junior high answer, the second junior high said to himself, "Today, everyone in the Zhengyang Palace has been disposed of by the queen. I've just been out for a walk, and the number of hidden guards around me has doubled. If nothing happens, I'm afraid that Childe will ......" Chu Er Chao took a deep look inside, "It is difficult to get out of the dark room in this life." ”

Chu Yi stood up and kicked Chu Er's foot, "Those are not things you and I should think about. Let's just listen to the son's orders. ”

Who would have thought that in the forbidden palace in the depths of the palace, in the invisible darkness, there would be a person. And this person is precisely the biggest secret of the entire Great Xia, the entire Dongli Dynasty.
