stormy clouds

Xia Bing raised his head and gave the queen a cold look, took a sip from the water bag in his hand, and asked calmly, "What deal?"

"You send the Holy Majesty down the mountain, and then hire a better doctor to treat him. If the Holy Majesty can be cured, I will definitely reward you a lot." The queen looked at the leader Xia Bing.

The leader of Xia Bing and the queen looked at each other for a few seconds, then raised the water bag and took a big sip.He wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said coldly: "The king of subjugation, what rewards can there be?"

"No matter how subjugated the country is, you are still the king." The queen looked awe-inspiring, "You don't have to agree, but with the current situation of the Holy Majesty, it's hard to say whether he can survive tonight. If you can't survive tonight, what can you do in Xiaguo? ? The gain outweighs the loss, I don't believe you haven't weighed it."

Leader Xia Bing didn't speak, he stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Zhao Wu, go and get the horses, let the Holy Majesty and the Empress get on the horses."

Xia Bing named Zhao Wu was a little embarrassed, "General, really go and lead the horse."

"Nonsense, you can go if you are told." Leader Xia Bing raised his eyes coldly, and Zhao Wu dared not say much, and hurried to lead the horse.

The queen did not speak, but turned and walked to the emperor.

The emperor still didn't wake up, her pale face was faintly blue, she knelt down, held the emperor's hand, and called out softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up."

The emperor frowned, but his eyes did not open, but it could be seen that he was not unconscious.

The queen stood up and said with a blank expression: "Peiqing, you and your majesty ride down the mountain first, and find a doctor to treat you well."

Before Zhang Peiqing, who was standing beside him, could speak, a woman dressed in gold brocade in the color of Qian rushed out.

"No, empress—" she screamed, and knelt down in front of the queen with a thump: "Empress, the Holy Majesty is seriously ill, so you can let your concubine serve him!"

The queen looked at the woman in front of her, and said coldly: "Concubine Qian, what is the place below Qishan, we don't know if there are any good doctors, you are a woman, what's the use of going, let Peiqing go, it's best s Choice."

Concubine Qian Gui cried and sat on the ground, "The concubine knows that the empress has always hated the concubine, and the empress wishes that the concubine would die here."

These few days of torture made Concubine Qian Gui extremely desperate, and being able to get down Qishan Mountain with a horse was her only chance of survival.No matter what, she didn't want to let go of such an opportunity anyway.

She cried for a while, and suddenly rushed to the emperor like crazy, shaking the emperor's shoulders, trying to wake the emperor up: "My lord, my lord, let me go down to Qishan with you, I really can't walk anymore , without a horse, the concubine will die, my lord."

Seeing her madness, the empress said angrily, "How decent is it? Pull her down."

Immediately, two nuns stepped forward, each supporting Concubine Qian, and pulling her down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Holy Majesty cannot do without his concubines. If he wakes up and finds out that you have treated me like this, he will definitely not let you go." Qian Guifei pressed her feet to the ground, crying hoarsely.

However, with her pampered and delicate body, how could she withstand the strength of the two nuns, even though she struggled with all her strength, she only left a few broken voices in the wind.

Leader Xia Bing walked up to the emperor with two soldiers leading horses, and the queen said solemnly to Zhang Peiqing, "Peiqing, the Majesty will leave it to you."

Zhang Peiqing took two steps forward, bowed towards the queen with tears in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, empress, I will protect the saint Zhou Quan with my life."

The head of Xia Bing met the Queen's eyes, and turned away lightly: "Your Majesty really doesn't want to ride down the mountain?"

The queen said: "General Zhang is more useful than me. He escorted the saint up and down the mountain. I don't worry."

The corner of Xia Bing's mouth twitched, and he said to the two soldiers: "Take them down the mountain as soon as possible, and I will meet you in three days."

The two soldiers agreed, and Zhang Peiqing mounted the horse with the emperor in his arms, followed by another horse on the road.

When they were far away, Xia Bing's leader shouted: "Keep going."

A group of people walked with difficulty under the escort of soldiers.

The snow fell silently.

The messy footprints behind him were covered by heavy snow in a blink of an eye, without any trace.

The queen carried a wooden stick and tried her best to walk ahead.Her hair was a little fluffy, and a pair of shoes had been soaked in snow water for a long time, and they were covered with mud, and the color could no longer be seen clearly. Her worn out feet were stuck to the shoes, and every step she took, she felt a sharp pain.

She turned to look at the princess who was following behind.

From the moment she went up to Mount Qi, she asked two soldiers to tie a simple shoulder strap and forcefully lift the princess up.

The crown princess's dull eyes met the queen's gaze, the queen couldn't bear to look any further, turned her head and continued walking.

Xia Bing took advantage of Wei'er's time to explore the road and attacked the Southern Patrol team. If Wei'er could wait until Mu Jingyi chased them together, maybe these people could be saved.

But Xia Bing was very cunning, deliberately abandoned the main road and took the small road of Qishan.Who knows if Wei'er can guess this way.

Qishan road is dangerous, even in summer, it is difficult to walk, let alone the season when the mountain is covered by heavy snow. There were two to 300 people when they went to Qishan, but now less than half of them are left.

After tonight, I don't know how many people will stay here again.

The queen was so preoccupied that she didn't pay attention to the stones under her feet, slipped heavily and fell to the ground when she was not paying attention.

Baoqin and Jinshu, who were walking behind her, rushed forward to help her up with all their strength, "Mother, are you alright!"

The queen bit her lip and shook her head, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Baoqin's eyes fell on the queen's feet, and she was shocked: "Your mother, your feet are bleeding."

The bright red blood stained the queen's embroidered shoes, and a gorgeous flower bloomed on the snow.

Everyone knows what it means to be injured and bleeding at a time like this, and tears welled up in Jin Shu's eyes.She opened her clothes, reached out and tore off a piece from the hem of the middle coat, took off the queen's embroidered shoes, and tied them up carefully.

"My palace is fine, you don't have to worry." The queen smiled and said, "Even if I can't get out of Qishan Mountain, it's okay. The queen mother will definitely discuss with the ministers about re-establishing a new monarch, and the state of Qi will not perish."

"Niangniang, you are auspicious, and you will definitely walk out of Qishan." Baoqin cried.

The queen smiled and said nothing.

Back then the Queen Mother was unwilling to leave Lindu, saying she swore to live and die with Lindu, but in fact she didn't want to leave Lindu either, but she was the empress and the emperor wanted to leave, so there was no reason for her not to leave.

Jin Shu has put on her shoes again.Wrapped in a layer of cloth, the shoes are tighter.

She stood up, barely able to walk, no matter where she went!She took the wooden stick that Baoqin handed over, and just took two steps on the ground with the pestle, when the leader of Xia Bing walked over, "We only have two horses, and we have just descended the mountain."

"I know." The queen said.

Xia Bing's eyes were heavy, "A wounded and bleeding person like Niangniang can't get out of Qishan."

The queen paused, turned around and looked at him, "So, what do you want?"

Leader Xia Bing froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to ask this question.

"If you just came to tell Ben Gong this sentence, then what's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?" The queen said: "Don't worry, even if Ben Gong dies, I will never break my promise to you."

The leader of Xia Bing snorted coldly, "Am I afraid that the empress will break her promise, I just want to see if the empress gave up the opportunity to ride down the mountain on horseback, does she regret it at this time?"

The queen smiled dumbly, "I never regret what I do."

"If you really want to say regret, what I regret the most is that I shouldn't have saved you back then and let you go to Xia Guo, Li Yun Shan." The queen paused every word.
