Chapter 206: The Third Way

No.

No.

Mu Jingzhao staggered, the blade of the sword left a shallow mark on his neck, blood slid down the red mark, and he barely stood firm.

"Don't want to come with me? What does she think she is? His forehead was bruised, and an almost hideous smile broke out on his pale cheeks, "I left her by my side, giving her the glory and wealth that others can not match, it is a great gift, I am the Son of Heaven, and every penny I reward her is a grace from heaven, what is she not satisfied with?" She has no right not to be satisfied! ”

He almost screamed as he uttered it, and the pain in his chest worsened, making him almost breathless.

Despite this, his back was still straight, and his eyes were still looking at Shen Tong not far away.

At this time, Mu Jingzhao was like a cat with fried hair, ready to attack and waiting for the other party's counterattack.

But he didn't, just smiled and shook his head, that look, as if he was tolerating an ignorant child.

Mu Jingzhao was completely enraged by this resentment of breaking his teeth and swallowing it.

His skin turned from white to red, and he stared at Shen Tong, as if he was going to pounce on him and tear the other party apart in the next second.

At this moment, the door of the inner room made a "squeak" sound, and everyone followed the reputation, only to see Shen Qingrong standing upright, she was dressed in red, her skin was snow-white, her long hair was pulled into a simple single bun with a peacock feather hairpin, and her makeup was gorgeous, without the embarrassment and weakness that had just been produced.

When everyone saw this, they were in a trance for a moment, and they couldn't tell whether what was in front of them was the queen who had always been dignified and virtuous, or the glamorous concubine who acted recklessly.

Shen Tong's expression froze slightly for a moment when he saw Shen Qingrong, but then, a loving smile that was the same as usual appeared on his face, "Rong'er, you have just given birth, you still focus on rest, and the rest of the things will be left to your husband and the emperor to deal with." ”

The corners of Shen Qingrong's mouth raised a somewhat coquettish smile, she walked towards Shen Tong with a swaying gait, took the baby in Shen Tong's arms, her nails slowly slid over the baby's delicate skin, and stopped at the center of his eyebrows.

"Father, when you held this child just now, you reminded your daughter of her own childhood." She patted the baby in her arms with her palm, and the child's crying became quieter, as if falling asleep. Shen Qingrong's eyes were leisurely, and there was a little more mother's unique love between her eyebrows.

"A long time ago, my daughter looked at you like this, hugging her younger brother, with a loving and gentle face." She tilted her head slightly, and the anger in her eyebrows and eyes gradually grew, "At that time, my daughter thought, it must be that my daughter must have done something wrong to make her father unhappy, so my father dislikes me so much." ”

Shen Tong looked at her in a daze, his eyes dodging.

"So my daughter worked hard to be obedient, and worked hard to do everything my father asked me to do, I worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and worked hard to learn female virtues and female rings, and I was famous all over the world, but I still couldn't get half of my father's praise."

Her eyes were fierce, but a mocking smile always appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at Shen Tong or laughing at herself in the past.

"What I desire, what I work tirelessly for, my brother can easily get it with just two crying words. Father, what is this for? ”

"Why can I be my own queen and the mother of the world, but I have to give everything I have for those two straw bales, why?"

Shen Tong's face gradually turned pale, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"When I asked my mother, she always said that what my father said was right, that he always had a reason, and that everyone was like that, so we should do the same. I am convinced of this. ”

She held the child in her arms, walked slowly to Shen Tong, and confronted him.

"But later I found out that this is not always the case in this world, there are women like Liu Jinfu who have to fight on the battlefield at all costs, and there are women like Jiang Ning who do not hesitate to assassinate the monarch for the sake of freedom, not everyone has to live for others, father, you lie to me."

"You lied to me!!"

Suddenly, she yelled, and the baby in her arms was awakened and began to cry.

"Father, you used to choose for your daughter, but this time, your daughter chooses herself."

As soon as she raised her hand, a group of soldiers rushed in, and the long swords came out of their sheaths one after another, instantly hitting the necks of the soldiers in the hall.

And Mu Jingzhao and Shen Tong had already lost their strength and fell to the ground.

These two people are just as arrogant, as confident, blindly believing that their plans are foolproof, and blindly believing that their daughter and their queen will stand firmly by their side.

But what no one expected.

This time, she chose a third path that no one else had ever seen.

Herself.

The entire Changle Palace was completely controlled, and in the midst of the chaos, one of Shen Tong's soldiers fled in a hurry and went straight to the Shuanghua Palace.

At this time, the Praetorian Guards at the gate closed the last gate.

The dark red gates closed slowly, making a muffled sound, and from then on, the inside and outside of the palace were completely isolated.

Now that Lin Zheng is not in the palace, Lu Feng's will is depressed, and the entire Praetorian Guard has formed a situation in which Liu Bing is alone.

Therefore, the Praetorian Guards did not dare to disobey the order of this new commander.

The last gate was closed, and the entire imperial city became a cage with wings and no flights.

"Deputy Commander, why did we let foreign soldiers into the palace without permission, and closed the city gate to prohibit entry and exit?"

Vice General Chen hesitated for a moment, and the curiosity and incomprehension in his heart finally prevailed, and he slowly walked up to Liu Bing and asked.

Liu Bing's face did not change, "Lord Shen led the troops into the palace, but it was just to ensure the safety of the queen's mother, and the love for her daughter was heartfelt, and she was moved when she heard it, and there was nothing wrong with it." What's more, what he brought into the palace was just some guards in the palace, and it couldn't become a big climate, so what reason did we have to stop it? ”

"But why do we have to close all the gates of the palace?"

The perseverance and determination on Liu Bing's face did not waver in the slightest, "The emperor's order." ”

"When did the emperor give the order?"

"This morning."

"Why such an order?"

"The heart of an emperor is incomprehensible."

"Deputy Commander!" Vice General Chen stared at him, the deeper the suspicion on his face.

"Since I have given the order, you will do it, and if you dare to disobey, you will be punished with the rod immediately." Liu Bing's words were clear and resolute, leaving no room for anything.

Vice General Chen choked up, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

Liu Bing held the long knife, straightened his back, and stood upright, his expression solemn, as if he had guarded the door of a certain house countless times before.

His gaze pierced through the heavy rain curtain that covered the sky and the sun, and fell on the eaves of a palace in the distance.

That's the Frost Palace.
