"I saw with my own eyes that my mother was covered in blood and was beaten until she was almost out of breath, but when she saw that I hadn't left, her eyes lit up and she winked at me desperately, asking me to leave.
I saw with my own eyes that she was dying. She was exchanged by her father for three kilograms of food. I saw her being slashed in the neck with a knife. She was killed like a beast. Only then did I know that this place is not my home, not a place where I can live. .
So, I am still very grateful to the Queen Mother. "
Through the gap, he could see what the queen mother was doing behind the wall, and could hear her voice, he didn't care, and laughed softly.
"Although it is a very dangerous thing to serve her, it is much easier and happier to stay by her side and please her than to be a precarious wanderer, than to be tortured like a slave, so I Very grateful to her.
She also seems to like me very much. She is not allowed to act in politics or to be monopolistic, but she has given me military power. So, is it the first and only honor? "
Gong Yimo was puzzled, "Then why do you..." Why do you still oppose her
Shang Mingxi tilted his head slightly, looking at her with a smile showing two small tiger teeth.
"Because I saw it later."
"after?"
He nodded, "The queen mother is brave and resourceful, but because she is soft-hearted and close to the villain, she is a distant and worthy minister. When she is in power, the civil strife in Yuqi will not be eradicated, and if it goes on like this, once a disaster occurs, the old man will be destroyed. It's going to happen again."
He paused, his eyes clear: "I don't want more children like me in this world."
Gong Yimo's heart was shocked, he turned his head sideways, and said with a soft smile, "How is it? Is it noble for me to say this?"
Gong Yimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to say something, it was already quiet in the cabin, and the boat gradually came to shore.
"What's next?"
Gong Yimo took Shang Mingxi to hide in the dark with a look of interest.
Shang Mingxi smiled lightly, as if in control, "Don't worry, the Prime Minister has been waiting on the shore for a long time."
Gong Yimo felt a little regretful, "Unfortunately, I just slept for a while, and there was no real harm."
Shang Mingxi shook his head, "It's not a pity, because Liu Ge is also staring at him in the dark. His daughter has a marriage contract with the prime minister's son. When I meet this scene, Liu Ge is not the one who swallows his voice."
"Gao!" Gong Yimo gave a thumbs up, somewhat convinced by this man.
Sure enough, after watching a farce on the shore, Gong Yimo went back contentedly, Si Wuyan said yin and yang strangely when he saw Gong Yimo coming back.
"Yo, are you still willing to come back?"
Gong Yimo was in a good mood and didn't care about him, Si Wuyan was even more annoyed, and threw an invitation in front of her.
"It was sent by Blue Porcelain, and the Queen Mother is going to hold a banquet at Hongmen."
"Oh?" Gong Yimo looked at the post, thinking of the embarrassed appearance of the empress dowager who was just on the pier just now, and she laughed, "It is estimated that we are too noisy, she wants to beat one or two? Don't worry, the courtier is right. She will never make her an emperor, this is the bottom line, otherwise she won't have to look for puppets again and again, so she won't kill you!"
Si Wuyan pouted, "How is it tonight, is she having a good time?"
Gong Yimo hurriedly told the embarrassing things about the queen mother like a bean, Si Wuyan listened but laughed silently, but the hostility in him dissipated a lot.
After three months of their unremitting efforts, at this time, except for those neutral ones, his strength in manipulation has been equal to that of the Queen Mother. With such a progress, it is no wonder that the Queen Mother can't sit still and post to them.
It's just that the military power of the forbidden army is not in their hands, this matter is very difficult, Si Wuyan is thinking about the countermeasure, but Gong Yimo's thoughts are wandering, thinking of another thing.
Three months have passed, and Gong Jue has been communicating with her in letters, but he didn't come directly
Gong Yimo thought that he had just received gunpowder and was excited, so he forgot about himself and couldn't help feeling a little wronged.
But Gong Jue was wronged. He could have left for Yuqi two months ago, but because Luo Qi personally operated the new weapon during the tour, he was almost killed because of improper control.
Seeing this, Gong Jue forced Luo Qi to rescue him! He didn't dare to tell Gong Yimo about the trauma caused by the explosion and the upwelling of poisonous gas, and Luo Qi also knelt for three whole days.
The entire camp was in a slump, and they could feel the anger of the lord when they were practiced to death every day.
But that's okay, Gong Jue has more time to train his troops and horses, and one day, this will be the biggest killer in his hands!
The day of the banquet arrived.
In the gorgeous Qianlong Hall, the Queen Mother and Si Wuyan are both sitting on the main seat, and below are some women in the harem. Si Wuyan is very abstinent, and the number of times he goes to the harem in a month is very limited. These women are forced by the Queen Mother. He was also sent by a minister loyal to him to show his favor. Looking at it, the number of people was actually quite large.
On the other side, Gong Yimo said she was ill and did not attend the banquet. Her eyes were fixed on a person. This person was the Queen Mother's confidant, named Guan Zaijin. He had half of the forbidden army in the city in his hands, and he was the most important person!
This person is the queen mother's guest of honor, naturally facing the queen mother, but he is getting older and older, and the queen mother likes young people, and has less and less contact with him. Although he doesn't say it, it is impossible for him to have no resentment in his heart, Gong Yimo thought. , maybe you can start here.
Then, she saw an uncle Mei sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
Gong Yimo jumped off the wall, he stopped the guards who were about to come forward, and still calmly added tea and boiled water, his eyes calm.
"Princess, let's go back. I'm different from those people. I'm not greedy for money or lust, and I don't have a son for you to take advantage of."
Gong Yimo blinked, "Then what do you want?"
Uncle Mei Guan Zaijin sighed, "Go, I won't defect."
Gong Yimo was not convinced, "Why, are you really happy with the Queen Mother?"
Guan Zaijin didn't speak, Gong Yimo became ruthless, "If I can promise you, as long as you help us, we won't kill her in the future, and we will let you go away to be a real couple! So you won't be tempted? You know , as long as she is the queen mother one day, you have no chance to monopolize her."
Her words seemed to move the other party, but the other party was silent for a moment before saying, "Go back."
A cold light flashed in Gong Yimo's eyes, "You can think clearly, if I kill you at such a close distance, your half-military power will not necessarily fall into the hands of the queen mother, and it will be much easier for us to kill her. "
At this moment, Guan Zaijin suddenly raised his head and glanced at Gong Yimo.
"You underestimate her too..."
Gong Yimo was taken aback.
He smiled solemnly, "During this period of time, you have repeatedly invaded, which has forced her to be full of anger. She endured it only for today's sake. I'm afraid that at this time, the little emperor is already dying."
Gong Yimo was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of the palace, where there was a trace of black smoke rising.
