The next day, the palace.
Five thousand royal guards, with bright armor and neat array, stood in front of the queen with murderous intent.
Today's queens are also different from those of the past. She was no longer wearing a phoenix robe or robe, but was now wearing a suit of golden and shiny armor, which made the queen look heroic and somewhat majestic.
Standing next to him is the sword attendant, wearing bright silver armor and holding a sword of cold light in his hand. He has a handsome face and dignified eyes, and his eyes are full of power. He scans the uniform military ranks in front of him. No one can underestimate him at all. [
Behind the two people stood the four guardians Fei Qing, Luo Xiu, Wen Kong and He Sanjin. They were each other's horns, firmly protecting the queen.
Each of these five thousand guards has been rigorously trained and selected. Not only is their fighting power amazing, they are also very loyal to the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom. At this time, all of them had firm faces, bright eyes, and no fear in their expressions. Needless to say, even if they are asked to pay their most precious lives at this time, they will never frown.
The sword attendant came to the queen's side and said softly, "Queen, it is very dangerous to go here. You should stay in the palace and wait for the good news!"
The queen raised her hands and said in a deep voice, "No need to say any more! Now that the emperor has been killed and the prince is young, as the queen of a country, I should stand up for myself. For the sake of the country and the thousands of people, what does death mean?"
These words, uttered from the mouth of a female streamer, are exceptionally powerful in human ears.
Understanding the Queen's intention, Shi Jian raised the sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword straight at the sky, and shouted with all his strength, "The traitor Su Xi, disregarding the Emperor's kindness, is treasonous and outrageous! Today, the Queen, I will not hesitate to go through hardships and dangers." , summoning everyone, with the purpose of getting rid of the traitors and protecting the country. All officers and soldiers should serve with their lives and do not kill the traitor Su Xi. Even if the entire army is wiped out, we will not give up!"
Shi Jian's sonorous and powerful words aroused roars of tigers among the guards, and in an instant, the momentum climbed to its peak.
The queen looked around with phoenix eyes and shouted loudly, "Now our country of Chu is facing a critical moment of life and death. If you can help me bring order to the chaos and restore peace to our country of Chu, then you will be the great country of Chu." The hero of the world. I am here to make a solemn promise to you. If the traitor leader is wiped out in this battle, all those who died in the battle will be buried generously and their fame will be passed down to their heirs. Those who survive will all be promoted to the rank of nobility. Heir of Gongyin!"
The Queen's promise set off bursts of cheers among thousands of guards, and the world was boiling. The fighting spirit of this tiger and wolf army was completely ignited.
Seeing that the morale was as high as fire, the queen turned to look at the four Feiqings and said solemnly, "Four of you, I'm counting on you for this battle today!"
Fei Qing nodded and said, "Queen, don't worry, we have been warned by Qin Shaoxia and we will never let the queen down!"
The queen nodded and looked at Shi Jian. The swordsman understood what he was doing, waved the sword in his hand, and shouted softly, "The target is Prince Rongqing's Mansion, let's go!"
Qin Mansion.
When Ma Zhi was in the palace, she was the hostess. Yi gives orders and is very impressive. In front of and behind him, dozens of maids and servants were waiting attentively. Clothes come to hand, food comes to open mouth, life is free and easy. But now when he arrived at Qin Dong's house, it was like falling from heaven to hell. The situation had changed 180 degrees.
Early in the morning, Ma Zhi stared at the sleeping Zhengxiang. Suddenly, she was slapped hard on the face. Ma Zhi screamed in pain, sat up from the bed, and opened her mouth. He scolded, "Who dares to disturb my wife's clear dream without knowing her life or death!"
Before Ma Zhi's shout could reach the ground, her eyes suddenly blurred, and then there was a crisp sound, and the other cheek received another heavy slap.
Ma Zhi covered her cheek, stepped back, and turned her head to look, only to see an unfamiliar face with brows raised and full of anger, glaring at her fiercely.
"Who are you? If you dare to hit me, is it because you don't want to live anymore?" Ma Zhi pointed at the other person, with burning anger in her heart, and roared through gritted teeth.
"You lazy thing, I don't think you're the one who doesn't want to live!" The person who slapped Ma Zhi was none other than a housekeeper from Qin Dong's house. Coincidentally, the housekeeper had a relative's daughter who was supposed to serve Ma Zhi, but because of a small mistake, she was beaten to death on the spot by Ma Zhi. Su Xi was so powerful that the housekeeper could do nothing to Ma Zhi and could only keep his anger in his heart. Never would he have thought that with the turn of events, the arrogant Ma Zhi would become a servant in Qin Dong's mansion and fall into his hands. At first, the housekeeper couldn't believe it, but when he saw clearly that it was Ma Zhi standing in front of him, the anger in his heart finally found an outlet and surged out. [
Seeing that Ma Zhi was still shouting and arrogant based on her status as the prince's wife, she felt even more furious. Deng Deng stepped forward and beat Ma Zhi wildly. Although Ma Zhi knew some martial arts, she couldn't perform it in this small room. On the contrary, the housekeeper's son was a tall man. With all his strength, he beat Ma Zhi until he cried for his father and mother. , in the blink of an eye, he was covered with bruises.
"You bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will let the prince smash you to pieces, and then I will kill your whole family!" Ma Zhi was beaten so miserably, but she still did not change her nature of bullying, and kept saying arrogant words. , which made the butler laugh in anger.
"Ma Zhi, Ma Zhi, you didn't even open your eyes to see where we are! Do you think you're still in your Prince Rongqing's palace?"
When the butler drank, Ma Zhi suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she was working as a servant in the Qin Mansion, and her expression suddenly changed.
"This... isn't this a dream?"
"Dream? Hahaha... This is not a dream, this is your retribution! Take it!" The housekeeper laughed wildly and threw a broom next to her hard on her body.
"You... what are you doing?" Ma Zhi held the broom, looked at the housekeeper, and asked blankly.
"It's not me, it's you! Listen to me, you have half an hour to clean all the yards in the house. You'd better sweep them clean and don't leave a single dead leaf. If I find a , I’ll give you a stick!”
"Slave dog, you want me to sweep the floor!?"
"Huh?" The butler's eyes widened and he raised his hand high.
Ma Zhi felt a chill in her heart, and subconsciously hid aside, shouting "No!" |
"Hmph! If you don't want to get beaten, get to work right away! You only have half an hour. In half an hour, you still have a lot of clothes to wash!" After saying that, the housekeeper gave Ma Zhi a fierce look. Turn around and leave.
Ma Zhi's heart was about to explode with hatred, but now she was no longer the high-ranking prince's wife, but a servant of the Qin Mansion. Looking at the scars all over her body, she could only pick up the broom and start sweeping the floor for the first time in her life.
