Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 224 Blood Stained Xuanyuan

Xuanyuan Kang!
Xuanyuan Kang!
I called this name fiercely in my heart, when I thought about his cruelty to me, when I thought about the suffering Mu Feng might have suffered, and when I thought about the ears of the innocent child in the box, I wished I could tear the person in my mind to pieces !

If I find you, I can't spare you!
Walking into the harem that was already in a panic, there are damaged armor everywhere, even stained with blood, and the beautiful flowers on the women's heads, which are also scattered all over the place at this moment, as well as those precious porcelains, exquisite silks, Scattered on the ground, everything you see is a mess.

Looking at all this, I just feel that the five are burning inside.

As if feeling that my heart was being burned, the ghost face came up gently: "Xingsi..."

"Find him, we must find him!" I almost said through gritted teeth, "I want to find Mu Feng, I want to find our child!"

"Don't worry, you will definitely find it!"

I feel that his hands are trembling slightly. We are no longer the monarch of the largest country in the east, nor the man who has gone through pain and heart like a mirror lake. We are just a pair of the most ordinary parents. Burning with anxiety for my child!
He squeezed my hand tightly, shook it hard, and then turned around: "Look around again, don't miss any place!"

"Yes!"

Those people took the order, and immediately dispersed, looking for it everywhere in the palace.

I haven't closed my eyes for several days and nights. They asked me to rest, but how could I lie down at this time, and I kept looking around, but just as I walked through a desolate plum grove, suddenly appeared in front of me When he entered a tall and majestic palace, his hurried steps stopped suddenly.

They also followed behind me, and when they looked up, they saw the closed door. On the door was a huge plaque with three neatly written characters——

Wangyun Temple.

"here it is……"

Ghost Mian slowly walked to my side, looked at my pale face suddenly, seemed to understand something, after a while, I said in a daze: "This is the Wangyun Palace where I was imprisoned for eight years."

Everything is the same as before, even the closed palace door seems to be the same as before, of course I know this is impossible, the mottled red paint on the palace door, the door knocker with green rust, all tell me, my best Youth has been barren there, although I have been away for so long, but my soul seems to be locked here all the time.

Looking at the moss-covered stone steps and the rusty gate, my heart seems to be barren.

Standing there blankly, it seemed that the soul was also imprisoned for a moment, unable to move.

A warm hand gently caressed my trembling shoulders.

Looking back, he met the calm and steady eyes behind the mask, looked at me, and said softly: "Don't think about it anymore."

"..."

"It has passed."

"..."

Yes, it's over.

Although the lonely years and the desolate youth will not come back again, at least, from now on, I will not, and I will never, live that kind of life again.

I smiled reluctantly at him, nodded, and was about to turn around to leave when I saw a group of soldiers escorting a group of young eunuchs and maids walking towards him. They asked if they were going to escort these people I went to the gate of the palace to check carefully.

These people have all gone through accidents in the palace, their faces are covered with blood and dirt, and their eyes are full of panic expressions. When my eyes fell on them, they all trembled.Although I know that it is almost impossible to find out the whereabouts of Mu Feng from these people, but I still hope that there is a chance, so I wave my hand and let them go.

And when I turned around, the ghost face had already reached out to me: "Let's go, you should take a break too."

Indeed... too tired.

I walked towards him silently, and those court ladies and eunuchs also passed me at this time.

At this moment, my eyes looking at the ghost face suddenly widened, and a frightened light burst out from inside. Before I could even react, I felt a cold wind blowing behind my head suddenly, and a long, shining long The sword suddenly pierced from my back and pointed straight at my back!

It was just that moment of lightning and flint, the ghost face grabbed my hand and pulled it fiercely, I staggered and fell towards him, and crashed into his arms, while the long sword behind me refused at all Relax and keep stabbing at us.

At the same time, a whistle sounded, and the closed gate of Wangyun Palace was suddenly knocked open, and countless soldiers rushed out of it, all of them were soldiers of the imperial camp, and they immediately fought with Shaoyu's men into a ball .

I fell into his arms, turned around in a hurry, and saw Xuanyuan Kang wearing a eunuch's clothes, holding a long sword, and rushing towards us viciously. At this moment, he and I were unarmed, and he was protecting me with both hands. The middle door is wide open, there is no resistance!
In the blink of an eye, the long sword had pierced my back with the sound of tigers and tigers!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "dang" sound, the long sword seemed to be hit by something, and the tip of the sword of refined steel suddenly broke!But Xuanyuan Kang hadn't reacted yet, the dagger in his hand was still stabbing towards him, at this moment, Ghost Face stretched out his hand and grabbed the dagger!

Although there was no tip of the sword, he held the sharp blade tightly in his hand, and immediately cut open his palm, and blood flowed down the long sword.

"Shao Yang!"

I cried out in surprise, turned around and slapped Xuanyuankang back a few steps. At this moment, Shaoyu and the others also charged up immediately. It was another melee, and I couldn't care less about it, so I immediately held His hand: "How are you?!"

"..." He gritted his teeth and said nothing, but when I looked down, the palm was cut open by the blade, almost to the bone. The blood stained his palm, and it also stained my hand bright red!
I held his slightly trembling hand, feeling pain and hatred in my heart. When I turned around, I saw that Xuanyuan Kang had been kicked to the ground by Shaoyu, and dozens of swords were on his neck. I growled viciously : "Chop him up!"

"Xingsi!"

He grabbed me with his backhand, and shook his head vigorously. Because of the pain, the veins on his forehead popped up, and cold sweat broke out on his face. I was so anxious that tears were about to come out. I held his hand, but I saw his eyes looking around. I looked at it, as if I was looking at something.

There wasn't any scene around, but his expression was a bit complicated, he looked down at me: "Xingsi..."

I avoided his gaze, and immediately turned my head and ordered: "Get the imperial doctor right away, hurry up!"

The medicine was applied and the wound was bandaged. I stood by and saw that half of the warm water in the copper basin was completely stained red with blood. My heart trembled slightly, but my face was ashen. Then he walked up to me and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this lord has only a superficial injury, not a muscle or bone injury, so don't worry."

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go down."

"The guilty minister will leave."

The imperial doctor left, Shaoyu and the others all left the room when they saw this, and he was left half leaning on the couch, staring at his palm with a slight frown in a daze, I walked forward and sat on the side, Gently holding his hand, seeing the light pink in the wrapped cotton cloth, a burst of heartache: "Does it hurt?"

He shook his head.

Thinking of the scene just now, I still have lingering fears, and my voice is trembling: "From now on, don't—"

Before I finished speaking, he suddenly interrupted me and said, "He's back."

I frowned and looked at him.

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"You don't want to see him?"

"..."

"You don't want to ask him, why did you come?"

I glanced at him, didn't answer, just got up and said calmly: "You are injured, you still need to rest. I'll go see Xuanyuankang."

As I said that, I turned around and walked out. Just as I walked to the door and opened the door, I heard him say from behind: "Xingsi."

I turned my head and looked at his hesitation but didn't say anything after all.

I smiled lightly and walked out of the room.

Why don't you want to ask?

Why haven't I asked myself this question in my heart, but what's the point of asking?
Don't ask each other, afraid of asking each other, and asking each other will add hatred.

As for the man who left indelible traces in my life, the grievances and resentments of the past have faded away with his departure. Now, for me, if he does not appear, he is an old friend. If he appears——

I clenched my fists hidden in my sleeves tightly.

At this time, Shaoyu had already walked to my side, and said softly: "Xuanyuankang has been imprisoned in Wangyun Palace, the emperor can visit him at any time."

I nodded, but didn't go over immediately, but asked, "How is the situation now?"

"The nine gates of the imperial city are under control, all the soldiers of the imperial camp are under control, and several generals are waiting outside the city."

"What about the common people?"

"..." Shaoyu was silent for a while, and then said four words: "People are in panic."

This is expected. In fact, the battle between Xuanyuan Kang and I can only be regarded as a rivalry between brothers. In the end, it is my own family fighting against my own family. The common people only care about the harvest of their [-]% of an acre of land except for discussing after dinner. , but with the war, the people are in chaos, and the world is really in chaos.

I thought for a while and said: "Use the name of Empress Xuanyuan to issue a decree, saying that the princess will return to court and be tax-free for three years. Within three years, I, Xuanyuan Xingsi, will not use a penny of the treasury to fight against the outside world. "

Shaoyu immediately said: "Yes."

"What about the ministers of the court?"

"The ministers of the court were originally divided into two factions: the main war and the main and the main. It is said that Xuanyuan Kang sent troops to the white tiger a few years ago, which cost a lot of money from the treasury and increased the tax burden. The people and civil servants are miserable. To kill the West in battle is to raise the anti-war sentiment in the country. It’s just because—”

Seeing him hesitate to speak, I thought for a while and said with a smile: "Because I am a woman, even if my surname is Xuanyuan, they would not surrender, right?"

Shaoyu lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Where are those people locked up?"

"All those who fought and resisted were imprisoned, and those civil servants were in Jixian Hall."

I smiled and said, "Well done."

While talking, I turned around and walked towards Jixian Hall, Shaoyu hurriedly followed: "Isn't the emperor going to see Xuanyuankang?"

"He's already a tiger with his teeth pulled out, so there's nothing to be afraid of. What I want to subdue now is not him, but those who can really be subdued and used by me." As I was walking, I suddenly remembered something, and turned my head and said to Shaoyu : "In the past few days, strengthen patrols."

Shao Yu said: "This humble minister knows that the Nine Gates are closed and no army will be allowed to enter."

I shook my head: "What I want you to guard against is not thousands of troops, but one person."

"A person...?" Shaoyu thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Is it - him?!"

I didn't speak, turned around and continued walking.

After a while, the Hall of Jixian was within sight.

To say that Shaoyu's work is really rough and meticulous, these lord and civil servants are originally bookish, if they are put in prison, it will arouse their resistance, and let them gather in Jixian Hall, it is already It reflects respect for literati, not to mention the dozens of Wenzang Pavilions in Jixian Hall, which divide and isolate them and cannot communicate with each other.

After I asked about the detainees, I walked into Tianzijia No. [-], and when I opened the door, I saw a thin and slender figure standing by the window.

Prime Minister Su Shiqing.

This one is the number one scholar in the third year of Tianzhao, the leader of scholars in the world, once known as the Xuanyuan Shuangjie together with the Taifu Li Jun, and also the minister of the humerus in the court.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he looked back at me, a trace of throbbing appeared on his thin face, but he quickly hid it, and just stood there silently. I walked to the center of the room and said with a smile: "Lord Su, Why don't you bow down?"

"I, Su Shiqing, am a subject of Xuanyuan Kingdom. If you were Princess Ruyi, you would have been kicked out of the Xuanyuan Imperial Ancestral Hall long ago; if you were Qinglong Emperor, you would be an enemy of our country. Why do you kneel down and worship you?"

I smiled: "My lord is right, but what you are facing now is not Princess Ruyi, nor Emperor Qinglong."

"Oh? Then who am I facing?"

"It's Emperor Xuanyuan, the emperor who unified the Central Plains."

His eyes flashed, and he immediately laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, you? With you as a woman, how dare you call yourself the Great Emperor? Can you unify the Central Plains?"

I said slowly: "Now Qinglong, Xuanyuan, and Baihu are all under my control, and the Central Plains has formed a horizontal trend. If there is a future war between the South and the North, it is not impossible to divide Xuanwu and Suzaku. Central Plains The day of reunification is just around the corner, Master Su's eyes are like torches, how could he not see through it?"

He sneered and said, "The White Tiger Kingdom was brought down by my Xuanyuan Kingdom. What are you saying? Besides, do you think the subjects of Xuanyuan Kingdom would accept a woman, a woman who was expelled from the ancestral hall, as emperor?"

I walked up to him with a smile, looked straight into those old and upright eyes, and said word by word: "Master Su, you have to understand that the White Tiger Kingdom was not brought down by Xuanyuan's troops, but by Zhenyuan, who asked Xuanyuan to send troops It was shot."

"...!" He stared at me with wide eyes.

"Do you think that when I entered the alliance camp alone, planning to kill Xi Yumen and the Xuantie army, why did Xuanyuan send troops to fight against the remaining forces of the White Tiger Kingdom and let Xuanyuan Kang take advantage of it?"

He suddenly seemed to understand something, and said, "You—"

I smiled calmly: "Sima Ce, He Jin, didn't all these generals who were able to fight well have died on the battlefield of the White Tiger Kingdom? Today I send troops to Xuanyuan, who can stop me?!"

Su Shiqing's face was pale, and he pointed at me, his hands trembling constantly: "You, you actually - since then, it has been counted to today, you used the battle against the White Tiger Kingdom to consume Xuanyuan's strength, and prepared for you to send troops today , you - you are so vicious!"

"Vicious?" I sneered and said, "You men are not merciful in doing things. If I don't do this, wouldn't it be me who died today?"

"Yes, in this world, everyone has their own difficulties, but for your own selfishness, you launched the Central Plains war without authorization, causing people to live in distress, and people like you are worthy of the title of emperor? Are you also worthy of unifying the Central Plains?!"

I frowned, looked at Su Shiqing and said, "Lord Su, I dare to ask you, was it me or the ambition of each country to annex each other that triggered the Great War in the Central Plains?"

Su Shiqing was taken aback: "This..."

"Let's not say that the source of these wars is the division of the Central Plains. Just look at the scourge of division and the suffering of wars in the past century. This battle must be fought!"

"..."

"In just a hundred years after the split of the Central Plains, different countries have already had different characters, measures, coins, and even the flag language is completely different. Back then, outside Nanyang City, if I hadn't remembered the Xuanyuan flag language and mediated from it, I'm afraid it would have been lost by the North." How many of you who live in the court know about the barbarian attacking Wancheng?"

"..."

"That's right, I'm a woman, a woman who in your eyes is not worthy of a high place in the temple, and accepts your kneeling, but over the years, who has really regarded me as a woman?"

"..."

"It's not what I wanted to get to today, but it's a last resort. If the thoughts I have been exposed to since I was young are destined to take over the world today, it doesn't matter if the situation is compelling and I can't turn back. This road, I will continue to walk on. The sky does not support me, I open the sky, the earth does not support me, I open up the land, if the government and the people do not regard me as the king, I will change the dynasty." At this point, Su Shiqing looked at me in shock, and I said every word. Said: "There will always be a day when the clouds will break through the sky!"

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard a low voice behind him. Looking back, he saw Su Shiqing slowly raised his front, and knelt down tremblingly: "Old minister, honor the king, and be a minister!"

It was only at this moment that my straightened back felt cold, and it was already drenched in cold sweat.

After leaving this room, I entered another Wenzang Pavilion.

The whole day, I didn't close my eyes, didn't rest, and when I walked out from the last door, I felt exhausted, as if I was going to pass out at any time.

Shaoyu had been waiting outside for a long time, when he saw me going out, he immediately came up to support me: "Your Majesty!"

Seeing his anxious and concerned expression, I smiled lightly: "It's okay."

"You actually--you actually talked to them one by one, you--"

"At least in this way, we have no enemies in the court." After I finished speaking, I looked at him again: "Have you found out the whereabouts of the child?"

Shaoyu shook his head silently, my heart sank suddenly, and I heard him say: "I guessed right before, Xuanyuan Kang decided to send troops when you went south, originally thought that he could use the child to contain you, but On the night of his decree, the child disappeared."

I gritted my teeth fiercely, but Shaoyu looked at me with a complex expression and said, "There is another person who disappeared with the child."
