Chapter 415 She Never Forgot
In addition to the buzzing, Concubine Shu finally heard something else.

It was the sound of footsteps.

It's very messy and chaotic, coming from the west end of the palace road.

It's like, a lot of people are running wildly.

A thought suddenly rushed into Concubine Shu's mind.

The palace gate was breached.

From the west, that is the West Palace Gate, the army has rushed into the imperial city, and is coming to the Palace of Compassion, with the purpose of capturing the Empress Dowager.

And the breakthrough of the imperial palace means that the victory or defeat has been decided.

Seeing the luster on the hairpin, Concubine Shu burst out laughing.

She may really be dying, and she is very unhappy, but at the same time, she is very grateful.

At least, Empress Cheng is safe.

"This is the eldest princess' victory." Concubine Shu raised her head, revealing her fair neck, "You don't know how beautiful that rose flag is, so beautiful that I will never forget it."

Even if she died, she would die standing up.

The empress dowager was so stimulated by this sentence that her blood surged up.

She was facing the west side, and she knew the situation better than Concubine Shu whose back was turned.

At the end of the palace road, Zhao Gui and his people rushed over.

The word "Victory" was like a sword, piercing the Empress Dowager's heart, making her eyes turn pale.

Shaking her head vigorously, the Empress Dowager stared at Concubine Shu: "You can't wait for that moment."

The Empress Dowager raised her hand...

At the end of the palace road, Qin Luan ran with all his strength.

Earlier, they broke through the west palace gate, and after handing over the follow-up disposal to Huang Yi, they rushed to the palace of compassion.

Halfway there, they met Queen Cheng head-on.

Empress Cheng gave an overview of the situation in the Ci Ning Palace.

"Concubine Shu was captured by the prince," Empress Cheng was also out of breath, "I let Nanny Zhong stay there, and I'll give you a message, the empress dowager has murderous intentions."

Originally, Empress Cheng also wanted to stay and wait for the opportunity, but she noticed that something happened to the tower above the West Palace Gate.

The harem is a mess.

Instead of going to the Central Palace to gather the panic-stricken palace people who don't know how to fight, and going to the Compassionate Ning Palace to confront the prince and the others, it would be better to welcome the army.

Upon hearing this, Qin Luan and the others knew that the situation was urgent, so they ran away without saying a word.

It's just that the palace is too big.

From the West Palace Gate to the Compassionate Ning Palace, Xu Shi felt anxious, and Qin Luan even felt that it took her longer to climb from the foot of Mount Tai to Tianyi Temple.

Getting closer, getting closer.

Until turning to the long palace road outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Compassionate Ning Palace is close in front of you.

At the same time, she also saw the confrontation on that side.

Concubine Shu was framed left and right, with her back to them, and the direction she was facing, although it was hidden from view, was undoubtedly the Empress Dowager.

The tense atmosphere in that room came head-on, which made people shudder.

Then, Qin Luan saw a hand of the Empress Dowager.

That hand was raised high, clenched into a fist tightly, and something was exposed from the fist, facing the light, piercing people's eyes.

hairpin!

It's the hairpin that the queen said!
Princess Pingyang also saw it.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's hand was about to fall, the Eldest Princess' heart also sank.

At this moment, even with a longbow, shooting an arrow in the past is no match for the Empress Dowager's hand falling down.

"Stop!" she yelled, heartbroken.

Just, is it only a few dozen steps away?

boo——

The movement is so light that it is easy to ignore it.

But the eldest princess felt it, because there was a gentle wind beside her face.

Something, like a hidden weapon, cut through the air and flew out.

Much faster and smaller than the Long Arrow.

The thing flew straight forward, brushed past Concubine Shu's neck, and passed the Empress Dowager's hand holding the hairpin.

Blood came out, from the empress dowager's hand.

She loosened her fist in pain.

At the same time, an old nun suddenly rushed out from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, bowed her waist, stalked her neck, and slammed her head into the Empress Dowager's waist.

That was Nanny Zhong.

The hairpin fell to the ground, and the empress dowager was also knocked down by Nanny Zhong. Nanny Xia didn't support her, and the three of them fell into a ball.

The servants obviously didn't expect it, and were stunned for a while.

The restraint on her body loosened a bit, and Concubine Shu struggled to turn her head back.

She sees a lot of people.

The eager eldest princess and Wending Township Lord, Miss Qin who waved forward with one hand, and the soldiers behind them.

Also, that big flag.

The flag was carried by the soldiers, and the surface of the flag was blown up by the wind and fluttered. The word on it was the word "Gui" she was most familiar with.

Almost instantly, childhood memories rushed into Concubine Shu's mind.

The little girl fell to the ground, and when the enemy's big knife came down, she instinctively raised her arm to block it.

Blood spattered her face, but it wasn't hers.

When she came to her senses, she was already safe.

She looked up at the bloodstained and heroic women. She didn't know the names of each of them, but she remembered the flag.

The sisters told her that it was the word "rose".

Fast forward nearly 30 years.

Once again, at her most critical moment, she saw this flag.

Although, she never forgot.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager missed her hand, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led people to rush up to rescue Concubine Shu from the hostage of the servants.

Then, she grabbed the empress dowager with her own hands.

Concubine Shu narrowly escaped death, and her emotions did not calm down, leaning against the wall, panting.

Qin Luan walked to her side.

"It was you who saved me," Concubine Shu laughed and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but I knew it. Something flew past my neck just now, and then blood came out from the Empress Dowager's hand. It's too fast, I think, only Miss Qin can do this kind of thing."

Qin Luan didn't deny it, and spread his right hand.

A paper figurine gently fell from the air onto the palm of her hand.

The edge of the paper figurine was dyed a little red.

"It's dirty," Qin Luan said, "I'll wipe it for you later."

Concubine Shu looked at the paper figurine in surprise, it was clearly a piece of paper, but she felt its grievance, which made Concubine Shu want to laugh and feel a little bit emotional.

Qin Luan put away the Fu Ling and said to Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty has worked hard, and Nanny Zhong, if not for Nanny Zhong rushing out, relying on me alone may not be enough."

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and smiled.

Later, Mrs. Yongning Hou, whose footsteps could not compare with young people, also arrived.

Seeing that Concubine Shu and Nanny Zhong were safe, and that the Empress Dowager and all her servants had been captured, she burst out laughing with a long knife.

"Yan Runming," the old lady walked up to the empress dowager, and said, "You have pretended really well these past few decades, even if your son was not born well, if your son is more capable, you will not fall into this end. You wear this fox fur all the time, take it underground to meet the late emperor."

The empress dowager's hands and feet had been tied up, she sat on the ground, and became angry with embarrassment: "You are so superior now? Ai's family is protecting her child, what's wrong? Zhao Lin was not born by Ai's family, but you, who have the same belly You came out of it, dare you say that you have no favoritism?"

　Some book friends said that San Gong only values ​​ability, not character, but I don't think so.

　　First of all, anyone can pretend to be a good student in front of the teacher. Is it difficult?
　　Furthermore, time, the 36-year-old me, and the 16-year-old or even younger me are not the same person in terms of ideas, cognition, and personality.

　　Human life is a moving line, and every node is changing.

　　That's why I have been emphasizing "this moment".
