stormy clouds

"You recognized me?" Li Yunshan's face changed slightly.

"Since Shangqi Mountain, I have recognized you," the Queen said, "You have a red mole behind your ear, your mother pointed it out to me when I was a child."

"Don't talk about it," Li Yunshan looked at the queen sharply, "If it weren't for that stupid king, my father and Auntie would not have died tragically. Everything today is retribution."

"I don't know if there will be retribution or not, but as a citizen of the Qi State, you are acting as a pawn for a tiger and harming the people of our Qi State. You are no different from a treacherous official or a traitor."

Li Yunshan's expression was ugly, he clenched his hands into fists, and after a while, he let go of his fists, turned around and walked away with big strides.

13 years ago, the old Chang Pinghou was trapped. Qin Guogong and Anqinghou Li Chaolun went to the rescue together, but they couldn't find the old Chang Pinghou because they lost their way. He also died in this war.

People who lead troops on marches all the year round will not be rescued because they are lost. This excuse is too counterintuitive.The emperor didn't show it on the face, but let the hidden guards check clearly behind his back.

The result of the investigation is that Duke Qin fell ill not long after leaving Lindu. Li Chaolun continued to rush to help the old Chang Pinghou with [-] soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, there was a snowstorm halfway, and the army was not prepared too much, so they could only stay , missed the best period of aid.

That's all for nothing, the most important thing is that the secret guard actually found out that Li Chaolun and the Xia Guo envoy had a close relationship in the past.

When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river.

This is the Black Armored Army protecting Qi, and Li Chaolun is too bold.

The emperor summoned Li Chaolun back with an imperial decree, and made Qin Guogong the general of Pingxia.Duke Qin lived up to expectations and returned triumphantly three months later.

Li Chaolun was killed by nine clans.

The queen was in a daze for a moment, those fragments of memory were like old silk, with dark yellow traces, in these fragments, a woman's thin voice gradually became clear, "Jing Hao, please save Yun'er, he still So small."

The queen shook her head, turned around with a wooden stick and looked at the fragmented team behind her, with tears in her eyes, "Yongjia, if I knew what would happen today, I shouldn't have promised you in the first place."

A beautiful face slowly appeared in front of her, and her tearful eyes looked at her with infinite compassion, but did not say a word.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" A sharp voice interrupted her vision, and the Empress turned her face away coldly.

Nanny Zhang next to Concubine Qian rushed over, stumbled and knelt on the ground, and cried out with a tearing voice: "Empress, please save Concubine Concubine, Concubine can't hold on any longer—"

The queen's eyes were full of frost, she said lightly: "If you can't support it, don't support it."

Mother Zhang was startled, and suddenly raised her head and looked at her in disbelief.

"What are you doing in a daze? If you don't find a place to leeward, everyone will die here tonight." The queen turned to leave with a stick.

"Your Majesty, I can't!" Nanny Zhang grabbed the Queen's skirt almost insanely, "I beg you to ask someone to set up a simple step and take the imperial concubine out of Qishan Mountain. Now the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown. The imperial concubine is the biological mother of the seventh prince." , if she has something good or bad, what will the Seventh Prince do!"

Ever since she went to Qishan, the empress let the seventh prince, like the crown princess, specially use steps to carry it.It has been two days since I went to this Qishan Mountain, and the weather and environment are so bad, how can there be extra people to carry the noble concubine Qian.

Even if her foot is injured, isn't she also walking by herself?
The queen's face had a murderous look, "Are you threatening me?"

Nanny Zhang was taken aback for a moment, her mouth was open and she was speechless.In her impression, no matter it was real or fake, the empress had always shown others with a gentle and amiable image, and even for palace servants like them, she rarely got angry on weekdays.

On the contrary, Concubine Qian was so pampered and pampered that she kept dominating the empress so much that she forgot that the empress was the lord of the palace, the daughter of the general, and had the right to kill her.

"Such a disrespectful slave, I will drag him out and beat him to death." The queen's expression was as usual, but the words she said were beyond reproach.She opened the hand holding her skirt with a wooden stick in disgust, turned around and walked forward.

Zhang Momo was like in a dream, until someone came to pull her, she didn't react, and begged for mercy loudly: "Mother, mother, this old slave is wrong, please forgive this old slave."

The queen turned a deaf ear to it, the wind and snow blocked a few cries, and soon became quiet.

The advancing team was silent for a moment, then continued to move forward.

The team of hundreds of people was silent, only the sound of footsteps on the snow and the occasional sound of someone falling and landing heavily.

After the emperor was sent down the mountain, Xia Bing did not have the ferocity of the previous few days. Sometimes when he went to a flat place with less wind and snow, he would tacitly allow everyone to rest for a while.

In such a silent walk, the sky slowly darkened.

The queen turned around and looked at the crown princess behind her. She leaned quietly on the stepper, her black hair was covered with a thin layer of snow, she seemed a little uncomfortable, she frowned slightly, and put her hands lightly on the high ground. On the protruding belly, biting his lip and staring blankly ahead.

If there is no accident, they should have arrived in Jiangnan two days ago.

The expected date of delivery of the princess is two days.

Feeling the Queen's gaze, the Crown Princess' gaze met her. Even under such circumstances, she still had a calm face, chaste and gentle.

The queen sighed, it's a pity that such a person made of jade fell into such a situation.If it is possible to go down to Qishan, maybe the mother and child will be safe.

The queen looked up at the top of the mountain that was close at hand. The snow-capped mountain top was sacred and distant in the night, making people afraid to look up.

After continuing to walk for a while, Xia Bing found a leeward vent and stopped.

As soon as the overwhelmed team slacks you, you lie down on the snow all around.The air on the top of the mountain is thin, and sleeping in such a place is tantamount to death.

Xia Bing waved his whip to make everyone get up.

Soon, several fires were lit on the snow. Seeing the firelight, everyone relaxed a little.

The queen sat down with her back against a huge rock, and Baoqin took out the last bit of dry food in the bag, pinched a piece and handed it to her, "Your Majesty, fill your belly."

The queen said to Baoqin and Jinshu gently: "Where can I eat, you take it to the crown princess. If she eats it, you two can share it."

Baoqin said stubbornly: "We have sent the best one to the princess according to the order of the empress, and you have to eat the rest no matter what."

Knowing that they were worried about her, the queen smiled and took a bite and said, "I've already eaten mine, and you and Jin Shu share the rest."

These two girls have been with her for more than ten years, and she doesn't know their thoughts.

For the past two days, Baoqin and Jinshu haven't eaten anything, so they pretended not to know.Baoqin and Jinshu stopped talking and ate half of the cake silently with tears in their eyes.

The night became more and more quiet, Baoqin and Jinshu, one on the left and one on the right, guarded the queen in the middle and fell asleep.

Listening to the long breaths of the two girls, the queen didn't feel sleepy at all.She gently took her feet out of Jin Shu's arms, and covered the two of them tightly with the blanket she was wearing. As soon as she was done, she heard a suppressed moan.

The queen's heart trembled suddenly, and she walked up to the princess in the dim light of the fire, "Xian'er, what's wrong with you."

The night in the snow-capped mountains was bitterly cold, but the princess's face was dripping with sweat, and her wet temple hair stuck to her face, making her face pale as snow.

Her snow-white white teeth bit a lock of black hair, and she raised her head and showed a weak smile at the queen, "Queen mother, I'm afraid I can't make it. If you see the prince, tell him that Xian'er can no longer be with him."
