Chapter 358: He Must Die
"Who are you? Dare to be so presumptuous in front of my King Zhao! ”
King Zhao looked at Qiu'er angrily.
Qiu'er sneered, and told King Zhao about Qiu'er's identity, and told King Zhao about Qiu'er's identity as the queen's maid.
King Zhao instantly became murderous towards Qiu'er.
A little maid dares to contradict King Zhao?
I really don't know whether to live or die, and Qiu'er has killed a lot of people, and the knife and axe hand also died in Qiu'er's hands.
"Come on, take this maid down for me, and kill her immediately." King Zhao shouted.
At this moment, a group of guards surrounded Qiu'er.
King Zhao sat on the execution table, his face gloomy, and his eyes revealed a fierce light.
"Yes, King Zhao." The guards replied in unison. They quickly surrounded Qiu'er, and the blades in their hands glowed with a cold cold light.
Qiu'er was so frightened that she trembled, she knew that King Zhao would do what he said and would never let her go.
She looked up at King Zhao, her eyes showing fear and reluctance. Although she is the queen's maid, she doesn't want to die like this.
"King Zhao, Qiu'er knows it's wrong, please spare my life." Qiu'er knelt down in front of King Zhao and wept bitterly.
King Zhao glanced at her coldly and did not speak.
He wasn't worried that Qiu'er would run away or resist, because these guards were all carefully selected by him, and each one of them was a master of the masters.
Qiu'er saw that King Zhao was unmoved, and her heart was even more panicked!
At this moment, a guard stepped forward, the long sword in his hand glowing with a cold light.
"Qiu'er, let's go on the road with peace of mind." The guard said coldly.
At this moment,
"Wait, King Zhao, please see."
At this time, Qiu'er suddenly took out a letter from her arms and handed it to King Zhao.
King Zhao took the letter, opened it, and his face suddenly changed.
He was stunned, and the entire execution table became silent!
The letter reads: "King Zhao, I know that you want to kill this maid, but you don't want to give up your throne. If you kill that maid, I promise you'll lose your throne. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ”
King Zhao's face turned pale, and he looked up at that Qiu'er, a trace of helplessness and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Well, you win." King Zhao sighed and waved his hand to signal the guards to let go of the maid.
Qiu'er smiled, King Zhao knew that he had provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, but he couldn't help it.
Because at the end of the letter, he saw a name, and this signature was none other than the signature of King Yan.
It is not difficult to guess that Qiu'er is the daughter of King Yan, that is, the princess of Yan Kingdom.
If King Zhao kills Qiu'er, it will kill the princess of Yan Kingdom, and now the Yan-Zhao Alliance will really be irreparable!
King Zhao couldn't have imagined that the little maid who had always been by the queen's side would be the princess of Yan Kingdom?
At this time, King Zhao immediately walked over and walked in front of Qiu'er, and then said: "It's me who is offended, and I hope Qiu'er doesn't take it to heart." ”
Seeing that King Zhao was learning his true identity, Qiu'er ignored it, directly said goodbye to his connection, and angrily stopped looking at King Zhao.
"Aren't you going to let Qiu'er go? If you dare to embarrass Qiu'er, I will kill you. King Zhao pointed to a few guards who were still pressing Qiu'er with their hands, and said fiercely.
These guards, only then did they let go of Qiu'er.
Then, King Zhao bowed slightly to Qiu'er.
What?
King Zhao actually saluted Qiu'er, Qiu'er has always been just a maid? What exactly is her true identity?
King Zhao's behavior surprised everyone, and they couldn't understand why King Zhao would salute a maid.
Everyone is speculating about what Qiu'er's identity is.
At this time, Qiu'er suddenly knelt down in front of King Zhao and cried: "King Zhao, why do you want to stand up for me? I'm just a maid, and I don't deserve to be treated like this. ”
King Zhao sighed lightly and said, "Qiu'er, you are not just a maid, you are my savior." ”
A lifesaver?
Everyone looked at King Zhao and Qiu'er in surprise.
They didn't expect Qiu'er to save King Zhao's life.
King Zhao said again: "Moreover, Qiu'er, you have been working hard for the peace of the palace, although you have been unknown, but I have always seen your efforts." You are a kind, brave woman who deserves my respect and gratitude. ”
Qiu'er didn't take King Zhao's nonsense to heart. Suddenly looked at the queen, and said: "Since King Zhao said that I am your life-saving benefactor, but I did not save your life, I came here to save people, and I hope that King Zhao will not embarrass me and let me take the queen away from the death table." ”
As soon as he heard that Qiu'er wanted to take the queen away, King Zhao's face turned bad.
King Zhao looked at Qiu'er and said coldly: "No! The matter of executing the queen is a matter for Zhao Guo, and it is not your turn to interfere. ”
Qiu'er took a deep breath, she turned to King Zhao, her eyes clear as water, with determination and determination.
"King Zhao, I am not here to interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhao State. I understand your situation and I understand your decision.
However, I am not for myself, but for the Queen. Qiu'er's voice was full of strength and determination, "I came here at the cost of my life in the hope that I could take the queen away from the death table. ”
King Zhao's face became even more gloomy, and his hands tightly grasped the queen's wrists, as if to protect his own things.
However, Qiu'er did not flinch, she looked at King Zhao with more determined eyes.
"King Zhao, you and I are both smart people, and we all understand that the queen is the spiritual pillar of Zhao State.
If the empress is executed here, then the morale of the Zhao State will be greatly damaged. This is undoubtedly a huge loss for Zhao Guo. Qiu'er tried to use reason to convince King Zhao.
However, King Zhao did not respond to Qiu'er's words.
His gaze scanned back and forth between Qiu'er and the Empress, as if he was thinking about something.
Qiu'er knew that she needed to give King Zhao some time.
"King Zhao, I know you are a wise monarch. You will definitely make the right decision. ”
In the end, King Zhao made a decision. He let go of the queen's wrist and turned to walk towards Qiu'er.
His gaze swept over Qiu'er's face and he took a deep breath.
"Well, I promise you." King Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, "I will let the queen leave here." ”
Hearing this answer, Qiu'er's face showed a happy smile.
However, King Zhao's voice was very weak, and he lowered his voice again and said, "Please don't embarrass me." Today I don't want to kill the queen, but someone else, the queen is just a bait, so please don't embarrass me. ”
Hearing this, Qiu'er's eyes widened!
Qiu'er was stunned and looked at King Zhao, "The person you want to kill is Zhao Han?" ”
King Zhao didn't answer, just shook his head silently. he
's eyes were full of determination, but at the same time, they also revealed an indescribable sadness.
Qiu'er's heart began to beat wildly, and she felt her hands and feet begin to feel cold.
She knew that the person King Zhao wanted to kill must be the person closest to him. Although she had already guessed in her mind, she was shocked when the truth was revealed.
"For... Why? Qiu'er asked tremblingly.
King Zhao sighed, he looked at Qiu'er, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, "Because he must die." ”
Qiu'er didn't know what to say, and her mind was in a mess.
She suddenly felt so small and powerless. She had always thought she could change everything, but now it seemed that she couldn't change anything.
King Zhao looked at Qiu'er and patted Qiu'er's shoulder gently, "Qiu'er, it's not your fault. This is my decision and you have to understand. ”
Qiu'er lowered her head silently, tears rolling in her eyes.
She remembered what Zhao Han said to her, and remembered their agreement.
Now, however, it all makes no sense.
Because if King Zhao kills Zhao Han, then her world will collapse in an instant, Zhao Han is the person she likes, and she can even give her life for Zhao Han.
At the beginning, it was because her sister liked Zhao Han and hated Yingchun, but now Qiu'er knows that her sister has passed away.
When I think of everything in the past, I feel sad!
"I... What else can I do? Qiu'er asked herself bitterly.
Her heart was numb.
She has lost so much. Now, King Zhao still wants to kill Zhao Han, and she would rather die by herself.
"King Zhao, you can't kill Zhao Han, he is the crown prince, he was framed." Qiu'er said.
"Qiu'er, do you know what you're talking about?" King Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Han slaughtered my 3,000 dead soldiers, this is ironclad evidence, how can I not kill him?" ”
"Your Majesty, slave and maid are courageous, you can't kill the prince just because of a few words from others."
Qiu'er knelt down in front of King Zhao, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of determination.
"The prince was framed, and you can't condemn the prince to death just because someone else framed him."
King Zhao looked at Qiu'er, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Qiu'er, why do you defend the prince so much?" ”
Qiu'er said, "I know the prince's character, he wouldn't do such a thing, someone must have framed him." ”
King Zhao was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to prove the prince's innocence." If you can't prove it, then you can't blame me. ”
"Xie Zhao Wang." Qiu'er said gratefully.
Since King Zhao has agreed, it means that King Zhao will not kill the queen for the time being.
Moreover, if it can be confirmed that Zhao Han is innocent, then the queen will also be relieved.
However, soon King Zhao added, "Now that Zhao Han is hiding, I don't need to wait any longer, within the time of a stick of incense, if Zhao Han is still hiding, I will personally send the queen away." ”
Hearing this, Qiu'er's body began to tremble, King Zhao was going to kill the queen with his own hands?
Is this King Zhao still a person?
Beasts!
At this time, Qiu'er hurriedly went over and hugged the queen, then glared at King Zhao and said angrily: "With me here, you don't want to kill the queen!" Unless, you cut off my corpse, unless you kill me first......"
Looking at such a strong seed, although King Zhao is powerful, but at this moment, he seems to have no way to take Qiu'er at all.
