This time, Zhao Lixiang came back, she really came back with the mission of King Qin, and now when she thought that her child was still controlled by King Qin, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart.

If she failed to complete her mission, with Zhao Lixiang's understanding of King Qin, King Qin would inevitably kill her child.

Zhao Lixiang knew in her heart that she couldn't make any mistakes.

This mission is about the life and death of her children.

At this time, Zhao Lixiang was exhausted and very contradictory, as if she was being dragged by two people at the same time, no matter who she was looking for, it would not be too easy, on one side was Zhao Guo, where his relatives were born and raised her, she would not bear to betray you directly.

On the other hand, in the Qin State, her children are expected to inherit the throne, but if Zhao Lixiang can't kill Zhao Han in the Zhao Kingdom, the King of Qin will kill her children, and any mother can't bear to watch her children die in front of her eyes.

Thinking like this, Zhao Lixiang felt sad, and tears slipped down her eyes.

On the side, the Queen Mother sneered: "Don't pretend here, since you came back from the Qin State, you should go back, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" ”

The Queen Mother's face was full of anger, at this time the Queen Mother had already doubted Zhao Lixiang's motive for coming back this time, and the hand she raised was about to hit Zhao Lixiang's face again.

However, Zhao Lixiang had to gain the trust of the Queen Mother, so she closed her eyes directly, tears still crossed her face, and said: "Queen Mother, if you want to beat me, I will fight it, this is what I owe Zhao Guo." ”

"Queen Mother, I understand your anger and doubts now, I admit that my return to Zhao has aroused your suspicions, but I don't want to be your enemy." Zhao Lixiang clenched her fists, held back the pain on her face, looked directly into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and said firmly.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Lixiang's firm eyes, and the anger in her heart calmed down a little.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhao Lixiang, do you know why I am so angry? ”

Zhao Lixiang shook his head.

The queen mother's hand that stopped in mid-air was finally retracted, she turned her back and looked blankly at the portrait hanging on the wall for a while, this portrait was the first king.

"Because, I'm really worried that you will bring Zhao into a war for your own selfish interests, this is not what I want to see, you are the concubine of King Qin, you were still the princess of Zhao back then, but King Zhao had to send you to Qin and make you the woman of King Qin, I know that you hate King Zhao in your heart, but because of you, Zhao has been at peace, and the people of Zhao will remember you." The Queen Mother said.

"Queen Mother, you are serious, I am the woman of King Qin, and I have not forgotten my identity and responsibility. I'm sure you don't want to see Zhao fall into the chaos of war either. I will do my best to work for the peace of Zhao and the well-being of the people. Zhao Lixiang replied.

The Queen Mother listened to Zhao Lixiang's words, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and felt a little comfort in her heart.

Zhao Lixiang is a smart and kind woman with a strong sense of responsibility and responsibility.

The Queen Mother believes that Zhao Lixiang will definitely do her best for the interests of Zhao and will not let her country fall into a crisis.

"That's good, that's good, I know you're a smart woman and won't put your country in crisis. I also believe that you will make the right choice for Zhao Guo. The Queen Mother said with emotion.

Zhao Lixiang forcibly smiled slightly and did not speak again.

The two chatted for a while, and the Queen Mother left the palace.

At this time, Zhao Lixiang's whole body was paralyzed, her body seemed to have completely lost her strength, and she was paralyzed in the hall, and began to suffer, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.

Her heart was beating like thunder, her breathing was rapid and short, her body could not support her weight, and she could only fall limply on the floor of the main hall.

Although she was no longer able to move, Zhao Lixiang's thinking was extremely clear. She clearly felt her despair and helplessness, and she understood how dangerous her situation was. It was as if her heart had been torn apart, and the intense pain and fear that made her unable to do so.

But she knew she couldn't fall like that......

There is still some stubborn strength and unyielding in her heart, she must stand up, and she must face her fate.

Zhao Lixiang tried to concentrate, mustered up all her strength, and moved her fingers and toes little by little, she knew that she needed to recover her strength as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no hope to save her child.

The atmosphere in the main hall was very solemn, and Zhao Lixiang could feel the threat that permeated the surroundings.

She didn't dare to cry out loud, so she could only suffer the pain and fear in silence.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhao Lixiang's heart became more and more anxious, and she must find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to escape this terrifying fate.

At this moment, Zhao Lixiang said in a low voice: "My emperor, for you, I can only kill Zhao Han and betray Zhao Guo, you must not die, when I kill Zhao Han, King Qin will let you go, and our mother and son will be safe and sound." ”

As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother went and returned?

The Queen Mother soon came to Zhao Lixiang, stared at Zhao Lixiang fiercely and said, "Zhao Lixiang, are you really going to betray Zhao Guo?" Do you still want to help King Qin kill the crown prince Zhao Han? ”

Zhao Lixiang was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Queen Mother, although she was panicked in her heart, she still remained calm, she had to find a way to stabilize the Queen Mother in order to have a chance to leave here.

"Queen Mother, I don't want to betray Zhao Guo," Zhao Lixiang said, "I just want to protect my son, I can't let him be hurt in any way." "

"Then why did you kill Zhao Han?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I didn't want to kill Zhao Han," Zhao Lixiang explained, "I just wanted him to be let go of my child by King Qin, so that my son and I could be safe." "

"Do you think I'll take your word for it?" The Queen Mother asked, "If you really wanted to protect Zhao Han, you would have done it a long time ago, not now." "

"Queen Mother, I ......" Zhao Lixiang was blocked by the Queen Mother's words, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Come on, arrest Zhao Lixiang." The Queen Mother ordered.

Soon, a group of guards rushed in and surrounded Zhao Lixiang, Zhao Lixiang looked at them helplessly, she knew that she had no chance.

"Queen Mother, I beg you, let me go, my child is still in the Qin State, if you lock me up, my child will die." Zhao Lixiang cried and said, "My child, he didn't do anything wrong, he was innocent." "

"Leave him alone? Then who will let Zhao Han go? The Queen Mother said coldly, "Since you want to betray the Zhao State, then you must be prepared to pay the price." "

After speaking, the Queen Mother turned around and left the main hall.

The guards followed, leaving Zhao Lixiang alone while she was taken to a strange place.

The place is a deep dungeon surrounded by cold stone walls.

Zhao Lixiang was pushed into the dungeon, her body fell to the ground, causing a puff of dust, and she looked up at the iron railing above, and her heart was at a loss.

A few days later, the Queen Mother came to visit Zhao Lixiang in the dungeon in the name of delivering food.

"Zhao Lixiang, do you think that if you kill Zhao Han, King Qin will let your child go? Stop dreaming! The Queen Mother said coldly.

Zhao Lixiang was stunned and looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.

"Why, don't you understand? What King Qin wants is the whole world, and your children are just his pawns. He will not let your children grow up safely, only you can protect your children. ”

Zhao Lixiang's heart tightened, she knew that what the Queen Mother said was right.

King Qin has always coveted the world, and her children are the only heirs to the throne. If she failed to kill Zhao Han, King Qin would never let go of her child, but if she killed Zhao Han, would King Qin let her child go?

"So what can I do to keep my baby?" Zhao Lixiang asked anxiously.

"It's very simple, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will help you keep the child."

"On what terms?"

"The condition is that if you can't kill Zhao Han, I can send someone to secretly bring your child out, I hope you believe me, I won't lie to you." The Queen Mother said coldly.

Hearing that the Queen Mother could save her child, Zhao Lixiang flashed a glimmer of hope in her heart, and hurriedly knelt in front of the Queen Mother and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother...... However, the capital of Qin is the city of Emperor Wu, and ordinary people can't enter it, so how can they save people? ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about this, I will ask the cultivator to go and save your child." ”

Zhao Lixiang looked at the Queen Mother in shock, she didn't know who the Queen Mother was talking about, but she felt a strong force emanating from the Queen Mother, and this power made her feel awe.

The Empress Dowager continued, "Cultivators are special people who assist the Imperial Court, and they possess magical powers that can easily enter and exit Emperor Wu City and rescue your child. You just have to trust me. ”

Zhao Lixiang still had some doubts in her heart, but she also knew that the life and death of her child were uncertain now, and if the Queen Mother could save her child, she would be grateful. So she knelt in front of the Queen Mother again and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, if you can help me rescue my child, I will be forever grateful to you." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, she stretched out a hand and gently stroked Zhao Lixiang's head. Her fingers slid gently between Zhao Lixiang's hair, as if she were stroking a pet. Zhao Lixiang felt that the breath and strength of the Queen Mother were transmitted from her fingers into her body, making her feel a warm power.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to rescue your child as soon as possible." The Queen Mother said softly, "You can get up and leave now, and if you need any help, you can come to me at any time." ”

Zhao Lixiang gratefully left the queen mother's palace.

She knew that if everything the Queen Mother said was true, then her child would be saved, but what happened later made Zhao Lixiang want to kill the Queen Mother.
