That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 618 Mother and Daughter Are Still Mother and Daughter

The atmosphere in Weiyang Palace became more and more indifferent and awkward.

The mother and daughter are far away, one is at this end and the other is at the other end, and they are angry with each other and don't speak.

In fact, it can’t be regarded as anger. In the past many years, the mother and daughter have seldom talked. It is normal for them to be silent when they meet each other. That's all.

Xiao Zhinan tightened the cloak on his body, looked up at the carved beam above his head, and breathed out a mouthful of white mist.

She has felt too much about her mother's indifference since she was a child. She thought that after she got married and left that home, her mother's attitude would change, but she never wanted to become more indifferent and alienated.

When a woman gets married, she is the water that is thrown out, and she becomes someone else's family.

Xiao Zhinan knew that her mother could not untie that knot, and no one could help her untie it.Lin Yinping and Xu Yan were like two heavy mountains weighing on her heart, which made her feel uneasy.

Empress Xu didn't wear a cloak because she was wearing a phoenix robe. After standing in the cold hall for a long time, she began to tremble slightly.

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mother, it's cold here, why don't you go to the back hall?"

Empress Xu, whose face was slightly pale, shook her head and remained silent.

Xiao Zhinan sighed and said, "Queen, those are all things of the past, it's useless to think about them."

Empress Xu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "My parents died young, apart from my grandfather, I only have this elder brother. I still remember the day we got married. It was a heavy snow day. He was the one who sent me there on a horse. Outside the gate of the East Palace, I heard later that he stood at the gate and watched me go in, standing like a snowman. When you got married, Xiao Bai sent you off. If one day, your mother-in-law did the same to Xiao Bai What, can you swallow this breath?"

Xiao Zhinan remained silent.

It's easy to stay out of it, but it's hard to stay in it.

Empress Xu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said softly: "Zhinan, it's my mother who has been sorry for you all these years."

Xiao Zhinan shook his head silently.

……

Just when Xu Beiyou asked for the sword, Meng Dongfei had already passed through the formation of soldiers from the Tiger Camp and entered the Xiaoweiyang Palace.

Even though the storm was already raging outside, Meng Dongfei still walked leisurely and leisurely, like a lady strolling in her own courtyard.

She stood not far from the two of them in the hall, and asked, "The two are the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Empress Xu and Xiao Zhinan naturally also saw this unexpected guest. Xiao Zhinan was about to step forward, but Empress Xu stretched out her hand to hold her back. She took a step forward, stood in front of Xiao Zhinan, and calmly asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Zhinan looked at his mother's back, surprised and at a loss.

Meng Dongfei chuckled lightly and said: "My concubine's surname is Meng, her name is Dong Fei, a survivor of Dazheng, she can be regarded as a homeless dog living in the world of Daqi, and she has some grudges against your Xiao family. In addition, the concubine's husband is not very good I like you, and I married my husband, so this concubine is here to send you on your way."

Empress Xu's face darkened slightly, but she didn't see much panic.

Meng Dongfei looked back at the door, and said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care much about the life and death of the Empress and His Highness the Princess. He only left three hundred guards, and they have all been killed by the concubine. I'm afraid they can't be saved. Also Well, women have always been as cheap as grass, and their daughters are already married, so they belong to someone else's family. As for wives, there is a saying, oh yes, getting promoted and getting rich, dead wife is the first in life Waiting for a good thing, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is planning to change to a new empress."

Empress Xu tightly pinched her cuffs, but her face didn't show.

Meng Dongfei looked Empress Xu up and down, and then said: "If the empress wants to wait for her son and son-in-law to come to rescue her, I'm afraid she will have to wait in vain. The two of them are not safe, let alone you. two."

Empress Xu was noncommittal.

Meng Dongfei said softly: "At first, I shouldn't have talked so much with you, but the thought of killing a queen with my own hands is unavoidably emotional, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. Now that I'm done talking, I don't know Does the Empress have any last words?"

Empress Xu's face turned pale, and she said softly: "Can you let Zhinan go? You should be a mother, and you should be considerate of me as a mother. And you also said that the married daughter spilled Shui, Zhinan is already married, so she is not a member of the Xiao family."

Meng Dongfei smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Zhinan broke away from his mother's palm, stood side by side with her, and said calmly: "Mother, I am the daughter of the Xiao family, and there is no reason for me to steal my life."

Empress Xu suddenly turned her head to look at her, and said sharply: "You are married, and you are from the Xu family, not from the Xiao family. It's none of your business here!"

Just as Xiao Zhinan was about to speak, Meng Dongfei smiled and said, "What a mother and daughter love each other deeply, empress, I can agree to you, and don't do anything to Her Royal Highness, after all, we will be a family in the future."

Empress Xu smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and went to die calmly.

Meng Dongfei narrowed her eyes and slowly raised her palm.

At this moment, Xiao Zhinan felt boundless despair, but felt powerless.

There was a loud shock outside the hall, and even the whole hall shook endlessly.

Meng Dongfei looked back at the outside of the hall, and murmured to himself: "Since Xu Beiyou has already used Zhu Xian, then Kong Yixiao probably won't be able to hold on for long. It's not suitable to stay here for long, it's time to go."

As soon as the words fell, a gorgeous blood-colored flower suddenly exploded on Empress Xu's chest, and the blood splashed on the chest, the ground, the wall, the wind seat of the dragon chair, and Xiao Zhinan's face, scarlet and dazzling.

Her face paled quickly, and she fell backwards.

Xiao Zhinan subconsciously stretched out his hand to support his mother, looked down, his eyes were bloodshot.

Meng Dongfei's figure disappeared in a flash, and then Xu Beiyou flew into the palace with the eight swords, just in time to see this scene.

In any case, Empress Xu is his mother-in-law, he didn't care about Meng Dongfei, and immediately floated forward, stretched out his hand to hold Empress Xu's heart, and began to slowly inject energy.

It's a pity that Xu Beiyou's aura is a sword aura that tends to kill and kill, and it is not very helpful in saving people. Empress Xu's vitality is still unstoppably disappearing quickly.

Soon Xiao Bai also entered the palace, his eyes were red and he came to Empress Xu's side, he took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, poured out a golden pill from it, and fed it to Empress Xu.

A layer of faint golden light appeared on Empress Xu's face immediately, but this layer of golden light fluctuated, like a candle in the cold wind of a winter night, it would go out at any time.

Life and death line.

Xiao Zhinan looked at her husband and elder brother with tears in her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "The queen mother..."

Xiao Bai's face was livid and he didn't speak.

Xu Beiyou still followed Empress Xu's pulse, with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Do your best and obey the destiny."

Xiao Zhinan covered his mouth and tried his best not to make a sound.

After a while, the golden light covering Empress Xu's face began to dissipate.

Her face quickly dimmed, but her eyelids trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Xu Beiyou let out a long sigh, stopped pressing his pulse, slowly got up and walked outside the hall, leaving this place to the three of them.

After all, Empress Xu didn't have any cultivation base, so not only she couldn't bear too much injury, but also couldn't bear too much medicine.

Meng Dongfei broke Empress Xu's pulse, but this Taoist golden elixir failed to save Empress Xu's life after all.

The medicine stone is weak, this is the light of the day.
