Mo Shuang jumped on his horse and headed back the way he had come. However, before he had gone far, he heard a deafening explosion.
She turned around in shock, only to feel her heartbeat suddenly stop, and was so shocked by the scene not far away that she completely forgot to breathe...
The explosion came from Li Jiajun.
I saw black smoke billowing, red light filling the sky, explosions one after another, and screams shaking the sky. All I could see was the scene of people falling on their backs, soldiers unable to escape, broken arms and legs flying wildly in the explosions...
what happened
How is this going
She opened her big eyes, watching all this in horror and disbelief.
There was obviously an ambush on their original road, so why were there explosives buried on this road
Oh my God, what had she done
What did she do
At this time, she suddenly realized that this was a game, a game designed for her in advance, and she walked in without any defense.
Fifty thousand troops? eleven
Too cruel!
"No -" she howled desperately, with red eyes, like a wounded beast, reining in the horse's reins and heading towards the accident site like crazy.
There were constant sounds of explosions under the horses' hoofs. She searched quickly in the chaotic scene, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Eleventh brother, eleventh brother..." It was heartbreaking.
"Fourth sister-in-law!"
It's Eleven's voice.
She was overjoyed and turned around. At this moment, a stronger explosion suddenly came, and the horse underneath her was lifted up. She was startled. Before she had time to react, she felt that she was thrown far away by some external force. In front of her eyes, Suddenly, I fainted...
***************************This is the dividing line where I want to cry************************ *********
When I woke up again, it was already three days later.
When she woke up in Yaohua Palace, the first thing she saw was Lily whose eyes were red from crying.
"Lily..." She stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed Lily's wrist. She told herself that everything was a dream. She must be dreaming. Otherwise, how could she be in the palace
"Where is the Emperor?"
Lily didn't answer her, but just stared at her, big tears rolling down her face, "Mother, why do you still do this? You used to be Leng Qiyi's person, and the emperor has forgiven you, and the emperor is so good to you. , why do you still do this?"
Lily choked and was so sad that she couldn't help herself.
"..." In an instant, Mo Shuang froze, as if he was in an ice cellar.
Not a dream.
"What did I do?" After a long while, she spoke in a daze, her voice as quiet as a mosquito, as if she was asking herself.
Before his eyes, there was a scene of thick smoke billowing, red light filling the sky, and corpses being blown up all over the sky.
Suddenly, my heart trembled, and I looked into Lily's tear-filled eyes with wide eyes: "Where is Master Eleven? How is he?"
"Master Shiyi... He is dead..." Lily was already crying.
Mo Shuang froze and could no longer move.
Eleven is dead
Eleven is dead
For a long time, she thought she had heard wrongly.
That handsome young man, the young man who still believed in her and stood by her in such adverse circumstances, died
impossible!
He said that after the victory, he would bring Meng Ruxue into the palace to find her!
How could he break his promise
How could he die
Seeing her in a daze, Lily bit her lip again and continued: "Almost all the Li family's 50,000-strong army was wiped out, and the few who survived were all disabled..."
completely annihilated
Mo Shuang murmured, suddenly thought of something, grabbed Lily's hand suddenly, and asked eagerly: "What about the emperor? Where is the emperor?"
No one is trying to cooperate with him inside and outside, so he is in trouble, right
"The emperor was seriously injured and is recuperating in Longyin Palace. Not many of the 10,000 imperial guards who went with the emperor were dead. If Concubine Ying hadn't asked her brother to borrow troops from the border country, Nanxuan might have died this time. Things have changed.”
He's not dead, it's good that he's not dead, it's good that he's not dead!
This was perhaps the only piece of news she heard that gave her some comfort in a series of shocking news.
"I'm going to see him!" She stood up and pretended to put on her soft boots.
"Do you think the emperor will see you again?"
One sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on her head, making her shiver.
Yes, Shi Yi died, 50,000 Li family troops died, 10,000 imperial guards died, and he was seriously injured, all because of her, all because of her!
"Lily, this was not my intention. I also fell into someone else's trap. Do you believe it? Lily, do you believe it?"
She grabbed Lily's hand tightly and shook it.
She really got the message, from the note on the pigeon's leg.
Yes, notes, she could prove it if she found the notes. However, in order not to make the other party suspicious, she tied each note back intact after reading it.
"Where is the Queen Mother? Where is the Queen Mother now?"
"The Queen Mother has committed suicide by hanging from a beam in Cining Palace, and Leng Qiyi is nowhere to be found."
The Queen Mother is also dead
Mo Shuang slumped down on the quilt and smiled bitterly, even she was dead.
No, she had to explain to Leng Qisu clearly that the hurdle last time had not passed in their hearts, so how could they add another one
Leng Qisu will definitely believe her as long as she explains.
Even if Eleven believes in her, he will definitely believe in her, right
Thinking like this, she hurriedly put on her boots and ran out. Lily quickly reached out to hold her, and she shook off her hand and rushed out of Yaohua Palace.
"I'm going to see the emperor—"
But as soon as he rushed to the entrance of Yaohua Palace, he was blocked by several people.
Mo Shuang's footsteps stagnated and she stared blankly at the roll of bright yellow cloth in the hand of the leader Li Quansheng. She felt that it was so dazzling and she had roughly guessed their intention.
"Eunuch Li... listen to me..." She walked over hurriedly.
Li Quansheng frowned, took a step back, avoided her outstretched hand, and spread out the imperial edict in his hand expressionlessly, saying without any emotion in his voice: "By God, the emperor decreed that Mo Zhaoyi colluded with the enemy and killed ten people." A prince has caused countless casualties to our Nanxuan army, caused turmoil in the country, and made the country unstable. I have specifically convicted him of the crime of killing the nine tribes, revoked his title, and banned him from the Yaohua Palace, waiting to be dealt with!"
"Eunuch Li, that's not the case!" Mo Shuang felt unbelievable, as if she thought she had heard wrongly, and grabbed Li Quansheng's sleeve fiercely and shook it.
"Mo Shuang accept the order!" Li Quansheng raised his hand and brushed her hand away with disgust, his voice ruthless and indifferent.
"Eunuch Li, this is really not the case. You asked me to go see the emperor and talk to the emperor..."
"Kneel down and receive the order!" Li Quansheng shouted sharply.
Mo Shuang refused to listen and ran out. Two eunuchs came forward to catch her, but they were no match for her and were knocked down by her in a few moments.
She continued to rush out, but as soon as she rushed out of the door, she was blocked by two tall guards.
"Mo Shuang, stop struggling to your death! The emperor will never see you!" Li Quansheng turned around and looked at her coldly, "It is in vain that he was so kind to you, allowing you, a palace maid, to rise through the ranks and become the envy of everyone. Zhaoyi. Do you know? In order to prevent your feet from getting cold, the Emperor ordered the entire Longyin Palace to be covered with carpets. In order to fear that the concubines in the harem would harm you, he decreed that no one should set foot in the Yaohua Palace, even now in Longyin Palace. The emperor ignored the ministers kneeling outside the palace and the people denouncing you at the palace gate. Do you know his heart? His heart was bleeding. When the emperor was still a prince, the Za family got close to him. The Zajia family has never seen the emperor as sad as he is today, and he has never been like this even when he learned that his mother and concubine died. The emperor has had a hard life, and Master Eleven is his only relative in this world. You will also treat him like this. Take it away! Why are you so heartless? The Za family really wants to dig out your heart and see what it is made of?"
Mo Shuang looked at him with dull eyes.
"No, Eunuch Li, that's not the case. I fell into someone else's trap, and I also fell into someone else's trap!"
"Fell into someone else's trap?" Li Quansheng sneered, as if he heard some funny joke, and looked at her sideways, "Why didn't others fall into the trap? You fell into it?"
yes!
Why did she win when others missed
Why her
Did Leng Qiyi know her weaknesses too well
Or is it because you care about yourself
Seeing that she finally calmed down, Li Quansheng put the imperial edict in her hand, turned around and walked out. When he walked to Lily, he stopped again and said sternly: "If you are still here and don't go out, you are going to stay with me." Her?"
Lily bit her lip, looked at Mo Shuang with red eyes, then looked at him, hesitated, but her feet still didn't move.
Li Quansheng glanced at her sideways, shook his head, and ordered the eunuchs and guards beside him in a deep voice, "Close the door!"
With a "clang", the door of Yaohua Palace was closed, and the loud sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Mo Shuang's heart.
She came back to her senses in a daze and looked at Lily, "Why do you want to stay? You shouldn't stay."
"Slave, please stay with me!" Lily stepped forward, took the yellow silk in her hand, supported it, and carried it to the desk to sit down.
"Why are you suffering?" Mo Shuang curled her lips, feeling bitter and sad, "I am no longer a queen, I am a dying person, so why are you suffering?"
"No, your Majesty will not die. I believe that the Emperor will not let your Majesty die."
"No?" Mo Shuang laughed and burst into tears, "Isn't it clear in the imperial edict? Punishing the Nine Tribes, the Nine Tribes, what a harsh punishment, huh, fortunately in this world, I am alone, there are no Nine Tribes ….”
Seeing her look, Lily also cried heartbrokenly, "That must be the emperor's forced edict. I think so. The civil and military officials kneeling in front of Longyin Palace and the common people kneeling in front of the palace are all The one who denounces the empress, even though he is the emperor, he still has a lot of things he can't help but do!"
"Condemn? How can I, Mo Shuang, be so virtuous that I can be condemned by hundreds of officials and people?" She was still smiling, but her heart felt like a knife.
He had a lot of helplessness and he couldn't help himself, she knew.
But why wasn't she given a chance to explain
Why don't you give her a chance to meet her
Do you really hate him so much that you don’t want to see him
Or have you never truly and completely trusted me
He didn't trust her as much as Eleven, as an outsider.
Thinking of Eleven, her heart clenched with pain again, as if there were thousands of hands grabbing at her, fiercely and mercilessly.
She was the one who hurt him.
Even if she fell into someone else's trap, she was the one who harmed him in the end, that handsome young man, the young man who said I know my fourth sister-in-law, and she would never disregard my fourth brother's life or death.
Never again, no one would trust her so fearlessly.
Tears overflowed silently. She raised her head and looked at the beam above her head. In the hazy eyes of her tears, she seemed to see the young man again. He smiled energetically and called her, "Fourth sister-in-law!"
She thought of Meng Ruxue, that miserable woman.
Without Eleven, I’m afraid I can’t survive, right
Mo Shuang, Mo Shuang, what evil have you done
Lily stood up and brought a plate of pastries over, "Mother, please have something to eat!"
Mo Shuang looked at the hibiscus cake on the plate and shook her head, "I can't eat it."
"You have to eat even if you can't! My wife has been in a coma for three days and hasn't eaten anything. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly!"
child
Mo Shuang was shocked and raised her hand to touch her belly. Yes, she had a child. Among the nine tribes, her child was also included.
But that is his child too!
He wants it too, right? Otherwise, why should she take miscarriage pills every day? Why not let anyone come to Yaohua Palace to disturb her
"My Majesty, please don't give up so easily. I believe that things will turn around. My Majesty thinks, although the emperor's decree is to punish the nine tribes, why did you let your Majesty wait quietly instead of executing it immediately? It means that the Emperor is also here. Waiting, waiting for things to turn around."
"Really?" Mo Shuang looked up at her.
"Yeah" she nodded firmly.
Looking at her look, Mo Shuang's eyes hurt and she frowned, "Lily, thank you! Don't worry, I will be strong for the sake of the child in my belly."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
It tastes like chewing wax.
"Lily, let's go out and search in Cining Palace to see if you can find any kind of note, the kind of note tied to a pigeon's leg?"
She couldn't go out and Lily was her only hope.
As long as the note is found, it can at least prove that she is not colluding with the enemy and she did not do it intentionally.
Lily knocked on the door and said that she didn't want to stay with Yaohua Palace and wanted to go out. The guard at the door asked for permission and let her out.
As soon as Lily left, the entire Yaohua Palace fell silent.
Mo Shuang slowly looked around the empty palace. One room was luxurious and the other was cold. The blood-like sunset outside the window spilled in and cast it on the ground and objects, making it so desolate.
The so-called "the sun sets behind the screen window and no one sees the tears in the golden house" probably describes this situation, right
She came to the window and found that the window was nailed from the outside.
Oh, are you afraid that she will escape? So thoughtful, she smiled bitterly.
Night, shrouded down.
Without the lamp, the Yaohua Palace was deserted and dark.
Lily didn't come back. In fact, even if she came back, she couldn't come in. Once she went out, she couldn't come in.
I just don’t know if she has discovered anything
After forcing some cold food into her stomach, she climbed onto the soft couch and lay down.
Lily was right, she must firmly believe in hope until the last step.
The day her identity as a spy was revealed, she thought she would die. Didn't he let her go
Besides, she didn't mean it at all this time.
Although, she knew that hope was so slim.
Eleven is gone, the 10,000 imperial guards are gone, and the 50,000 Li family troops are gone.
She knew how serious it was.
However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she has to fight for it, right
On a summer day, the child's face changes at any time.
Suddenly, a thunder cracked in the night sky, causing her heart to tremble.
After a while, the rain started to fall, pouring down.
She hugged the thin quilt tightly, but she felt that she could not sleep warmly. In the darkness, with her big eyes open, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window, she felt as if it was drenched in her heart, and there was a lot of moisture...
***************************Tile is the tangled dividing line********************** ****************
Longyin Palace
Leng Qisu's chest was bandaged, and he was lying quietly on the dragon couch, his eyes slightly closed, his thin lips pressed tightly, motionless.
Li Quansheng, who was standing aside, glanced at him secretly, frowned and sighed.
This man has been like this for a day. He doesn't eat, drink or make any sound. He only sat up once today to write an edict to Mo Shuang.
He knew that he was awake, and the imperial doctor said that his injuries were all external injuries. He knew that what hurt this man was not these wounds, but his heart.
A muffled thunder suddenly exploded in the sky above Longyin Palace, shaking the palace lantern above the bed.
Leng Qisu suddenly opened his eyes, "Li Quansheng," he called.
"Your Majesty, my servant is here!"
Seeing that he finally responded, Li Quansheng was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over.
"What time is it now?"
"Back to the Emperor, Xu Shi! The Emperor hasn't eaten all day, and this soup is just hot..." Li Quansheng turned around and took over a porcelain bowl on the table.
"Are those people still there?"
Li Quansheng was startled, and after a moment of reaction, he realized that he was asking the civil and military officials who were kneeling at the gate of Longyin Palace and demanded that Mo Shuang be executed immediately.
"When you return to the emperor, you are still kneeling there."
"Such a heavy rain is really difficult for them." Leng Qisu smiled, sat up, and suddenly his smile faded. He raised his hand and vigorously waved the porcelain bowl in Li Quansheng's hand, "Why don't we see them so united on weekdays?"
The porcelain bowl hit the bedside with a heart-stopping crunch, and then rolled onto the thick carpet. All the soup spilled out, soaking a large area.
Li Quansheng was shocked and did not dare to express his anger.
