The queen mother is charming

Chapter 182 Begging the Empress Dowager to Go to the Northern Qi Barracks, Pleading for Punishment

Mu Yinxu babbled and originally wanted to tell Mu Qingchao a few more words, but she didn't listen, she sat up propped up and was about to go outside.

"Sister..." Mu Yin shouted helplessly.

But Mu Qingchao struggled to get up and went outside.

Mu Yin really had no choice but to follow behind her.

Fortunately, although the palace is big, the courtyard where Mu Qingchao stayed is next door to Jiangbo, and it took only a few steps to get there.

At this time, Jiang Bo tried his best to sit up.

In fact, he is used to being injured. After so many years on the battlefield, how many times his life hangs by a thread, as long as he still has a breath, he will be able to survive.

But this time the injury seemed to be worse than before.

In the past, three days were enough for him to walk on the ground, but this time, he was already sweating even when he sat up.

The whole body seemed to be falling apart.

Suddenly at this moment, a loud noise was heard outside.

"Sister, walk slowly, walk slowly..."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

As soon as he looked up, he saw someone standing outside the door.

Mu Qingchao stood there against the light, his pale face was almost transparent.

He saw her and smiled at her with his mouth open.

"Are you freaked out?" he asked.

"what happened?"

Seeing the frown between her brows, he said with a relaxed face, "Isn't it all right? Don't worry, it's all right."

"you……"

Mu Qingchao opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something, but saw Chunya suddenly barging in from outside.

"Queen, outside, outside..."

Chunya was panting from running, she couldn't even speak clearly, she just pointed out with one hand in a panic.

"What's going on outside?" Mu Qingchao turned his head and asked her.

Chunya looked at her, not knowing what to say for a while, "Gudu" swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The Queen Mother should go out and have a look."

Looking at her expression, Mu Qingchao knew it must be something bad.

But without hesitation, he strode out from the outside.

"The Queen Mother..."

Jiang Bo called her from behind, probably because he had a premonition of something bad.

Mu Qingchao turned his head to see the worried expression on his face.

She suddenly smiled: "Look at you, didn't you pretend to be quite relaxed just now? What are you afraid of now? I'm just going out to have a look, and I'll be back in a while."

"It's going to be okay, don't worry."

She said: "Don't forget who I am, I am Mu Qingchao, so many storms have come here, what else can trouble me?"

After finishing speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.

Chunya stepped forward and put a piece of clothing on her body.

Although it's late spring and early summer, Mu Qingchao's body is really too weak. It's clearly a warm day, but he still feels like the wind is getting into his bones.

Chunya knew all along that since the last cold wind, even in the midst of June, the heat was unbearable, and the queen mother had to wrap herself up tightly.

Mu Yin kept grabbing Mu Qingchao's hand.

From the inner courtyard to the outside, she walked for less than half an hour.

It was Qingshu who opened it.

As soon as the door was opened, what greeted the eyes were dots of torches.

Connected into one piece, like a sky full of stars falling into the world, like a handful of moonlight crushed, sprinkled on the river surface, sparkling spots, ups and downs.

Under the torch are the heads of the common people.

The black mass of human heads gathered into a sea, stretching all the way, with no end in sight.

"Come out, come out..."

Someone saw the door of Prince Wu'an's mansion open and shouted loudly.

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Suddenly, the crowd surged, and there was a whispering sound.

"Yes, yes, it's the queen mother..."

"It's out, it's finally out."

"It finally came out."

…………

"You..." Mu Qingchao paused, "What are you doing?"

In a word, the boiling crowd was quiet for a while, and they looked at each other, but they didn't seem to know how to speak.

"Queen Mother!"

Finally, it was an old woman at the front of the crowd who spoke first.

She said: "My old lady has lived to this age, and she is not afraid of death. If everyone dare not say it, let me say it for everyone."

"Queen Mother, can you take the initiative to go to Beiqi to confess your crime?"

"What?" Mu Qingchao was startled.

"Queen Mother..." But the old woman's voice was earnest: "The army of the Northern Qi Dynasty has approached the city, and the city gate has been closed for a month. People inside the city can't get out, and people outside the city can't get in. We are about to run out of food."

"Everyone knows that the prince is injured, this battle cannot be won, my old woman is dead, but I still have children and grandsons...

Queen Mother, please be merciful and let them go. "

Mu Qingchao saw a child standing beside the old woman, about seven or eight years old, with a round face and sparkling eyes.

He was probably afraid, and stuck close to his grandmother, only looking at Mu Qingchao with a pair of round eyes.

"Yes, yes..."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, there were voices of agreement.

"Our family has been out of food for three days, and we are almost starving to death."

"I beg the queen mother to show mercy and save us."

…………

"What nonsense are you talking about here?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, before Mu Qingchao could speak, Mu Yin rushed to say: "It's not my elder sister who made you have no food, you can go to anyone who is blocked outside the city gate, why should you ask?" Come to find sister?"

When Mu Yin said this, he heard a sneer from the crowd.

"The Earl's lady can really stand and talk without back pain."

The last time Mu Yin's big wedding was discussed in Jinling City for a full month, the common people knew that Mu Qingchao had a younger sister who married into the Su family.

Then I heard the man say: "The Su family has a big business, just scraping off the oil on the cutting board is enough for us to eat for a month, how do we know the hardships of ordinary people like us?

Otherwise, the Earl's wife would open the Su family's granary, as long as we are full, there is no need to embarrass the Queen Mother anymore. "

"That's right, that's right..."

"you……"

"Queen Mother!"

Mu Yin wanted to say something more, but saw the old woman knelt down with a "slap".

"Queen Mother, please count me as an old woman!"

"We are really pushed to the limit. If you have any complaints or anger, you can come to my old woman. I just beg you, give the big guy a way out."

"The Queen Mother..."

If there is one, there are two, the old woman knelt down, and then they all knelt down one after another.

They said: "Queen Mother, you can't be too unconscionable."

"In these years, how many immoral things you have done in office for so many years, can you count them yourself? Now, you have to drive all of us to death before you can be reconciled?"

"As a human being, you must accumulate some evil virtues for yourself, right?"

When they started, they became more courageous, daring to speak out.

In the end, he simply kowtowed and said directly: "I beg the queen mother to come to the Northern Qi military camp and ask for a confession."

Someone started, followed by others.

"I beg the Queen Mother to go to the Northern Qi military camp and ask for a confession."

"I beg the Queen Mother to go to the Northern Qi military camp and ask for a confession."
