Chapter 61: Murder and Silence
Kerr's eyes were fixed on the old woman, who was the benefactor who had raised her single-handedly, just like her mother. The two of them hid in the hut in the palace for their lives, not daring to go out, and occasionally had to hide in the cave they dug to survive
Now that the old woman had finally come out, she had walked out of that nasty place some days before her, and had never wanted to go back there from the moment she came out. The place that carries memories and nightmares is not that the old man treats her badly, the old man treats her well.
Ke'er felt uncomfortable and painful in her heart, watching her only relative in the world kneeling there, her white hair fluttering in the wind. In the court of Qi in December, the cold stone slab was the same as the ice, and the old woman already had rheumatic joint pain. This kneeling, even if the emperor asks her to get up, I guess she won't be able to get up, right?
Qi Yuan also had a trace of pity for the old woman in front of him, and he said, "Get up and talk." ”
The old woman thanked the Emperor for getting her up, and she stood up from the ground with her strength, and her knees staggered when they hurt. Years of rheumatic joint pain tormented her, and with the rest of the illnesses that plagued her, the old woman's days had come to an end.
"Queen Mother, you are old, but you still look so young, have you forgotten what happened before? I dare not forget, and I can't forget, I originally thought that everything about you could be hidden. I didn't expect it......" The old woman's words pointed directly at the Queen Mother, who was not looking good, and her breathing became short.
However, the Queen Mother never showed her kindness, and she did not claim to be benevolent, she sneered: "This palace has done a lot of things before, and it is true that it has killed many disobedient people, and those who obey me prosper and those who disobey me die." Since ancient times, who has done great things, who has not had blood on his hands, and the emperor has also killed people on the battlefield. ”
The Queen Mother's words are eloquent, but they are irrefutable, and many people know the deeds of this Queen Mother. Emperor Qi Yuan didn't think what this queen mother said was wrong, it is true that those who have become great things since ancient times have done so, which dynasty has not been a river of blood?
Killing brothers and fathers, brotherhood, and brotherhood are often easily distorted and ignored in the face of power.
"It's right to kill someone, but it's a curse to kill someone who shouldn't be killed, just to cover up his ugly face. The old woman continued, and everyone looked at this old woman in shock, and the people of the Queen Mother's faction in the palace couldn't stand it for a long time: "Bold, dare to chew the root of your tongue." ”
The queen supported the queen mother, and the fourth prince Qi Fei was also watching the opportunity, he couldn't let the woman in front of him destroy the image of the queen mother. After all, this mother still plays a great role in himself, and he still has to rely on this person if he wants to succeed one day.
"Oh, yes, I've done things and killed more people, and God has eyes on me to kill all the people I deserve. My life is the best proof that if I want to be punished, it is long overdue. The Queen Mother's aura is really extraordinary, she is not stage frightened in the face of the old woman at all, and her bold admission that she has killed people makes those officials have nothing to say.
"Queen Mother, it will come, more than 30 lives. Qiongyuan orphans, many people have forgotten, you and I must not forget, right?" After the old woman finished speaking, her eyes fell on the emperor's face, and the queen mother's body still trembled when she heard the word "Qiongyuan".
Almost all of them showed surprised expressions when they heard the word Qiongyuan, and some people stopped their eyes on Luoxue's body, isn't this woman living in Qiongyuan now? Facing everyone's eyes, Luoxue was very calm.
The matter of the previous dynasty had nothing to do with her, she didn't have it before, but the moment she brought out Ke'er to live in Qiongyuan, she was destined to have something to do with Qiongyuan.
However, the most shocking thing was the words "orphans of Qiongyuan", and the Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore after hearing those words.
She has been with Qi Fei for many years, and Qi Fei naturally knows something, and he has long been ready to kill her. A stream of air flowed to his index finger, forming a sword qi that could kill the old woman in a split second.
"Do you know what you're talking about, so many people know what you're talking about?" The Queen Mother still pretended to be calm, her heart actually hated that this old woman would die immediately, and the old woman guessed that she must be afraid.
After so many years, she must have been scared, but fortunately, Qi Yuan finally sat on the throne of the King of Qi. This is the most gratifying place, the person born in Qiongyuan finally became the king of this Qi country, but the king of this Qi country does not know where he was born.
The old woman knew that today was a reminder, she would not say it, it was not the time. She also knew that she would die today, and she should die too, and the pain that had tormented her for so many years was simply worse than death. Ke'er is doing well now, she knows that her trust is right, and that dazzling woman is destined to be extraordinary.
The old woman kept telling herself that it was the guidance of God, the arrangement of God, that brought such a woman in a special weather. Her story has just begun, and she still has a long way to go, and she will be very good in the end.
"What is she talking about, what is the orphan of Qiongyuan, what kind of story does Qiongyuan have?" Qi Yuan turned his head to look at Luoxue, and Luoxue said lightly: "I don't know anything about Qiongyuan, the king wants to know what happened, he can start with Qiongyuan." It's just that maybe the current king has more important things to deal with than Qiongyuan, and many things can be postponed. ”
This is Luoxue's admonition to him, she doesn't want Qi Yuan to be distracted at these times, things in the palace are extremely complicated.
Qi Yun, the sixth prince, also said: "Brother Huang, what Zhaoping said is very right, what old things in Qiongyuan can be put aside for the time being. ”
Qi Yuan nodded, but he really felt that something was wrong, and it shouldn't be for no purpose for this old woman to appear here. And every sentence is aimed at the queen mother who does not love herself, there is no doubt about this, this old woman is not someone else arranged.
"Queen Mother, Qiongyuan orphan, have you forgotten?" The voice became louder and louder, and everyone in the big Jianhe Palace could hear it, and after speaking, the old woman laughed maniacally again.
"Drag this crazy woman away, talk nonsense here, such a person should be killed on the spot. "There are such voices in the crowd, these are the followers of the Queen Mother, but those who are cautious will not be silent now.
For example, Qi Yuan invited the dignitaries to enter the palace, and they even pretended not to hear anything, but those who had stayed in the palace for a long time to do things had been angry there.
The old woman was not afraid of death at all, she was going to die, and she trembled towards the queen. Coughing as she walked, the Janissary stopped her with a spear, and she grabbed it with both hands and continued to move forward. The look was angry, ruthless, but relieved.
In short, her expression was uncertain, this old woman was more sympathetic, and Qi Yuan did not stop her from going to the Queen Mother. He just watched silently, Qi Yuan knew very well that this old woman definitely didn't want to walk out of Jianhe Square alive.
"There is a woman in the folk, peerless, beautiful and beautiful like the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains......"
The Queen Mother's face changed, and she said, "Give her a ride!"
Without the emperor's order, the forbidden army did not dare to act rashly, and the old woman continued: "A smile is overwhelming, and the fairies who can sing and dance in the sky cannot be compared, and then laugh ......"
The rest of the words were not uttered, but she held the spear tightly in both hands, and then stood there motionless. At this time, Luoxue saw blood gushing out of her chest, staining the old palace dress red.
Kerr's body was trembling, and the falling snow held her hand tightly, she didn't want Kerr to see this cruel and bloody scene. The old mother's chest was pierced by the sword qi, which is what Qi Yuan said about refining qi to a certain level and killing people invisibly, who did it?
The corners of the old woman's mouth began to bleed, and she opened her mouth and smiled, blood staining her teeth and running down the corners of her mouth. This scene will never be forgotten by falling snow for the rest of his life, and a person can be so desolate when he dies.
The old woman looked at the emperor's face, and she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.
