Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 88 The Battle of the City (1)
With the cooperation of Mu Qing and Beitang Mo, the Imperial Palace and Nanyue Imperial City are finally stable.Mu Qing, who was already exhausted, came to Mingyang Hall alone after a short rest.At this time, except for Dr. Zhang, the rest of the imperial physicians had retired.Mu Qing asked about Xia Beitangfeng's situation, and after learning that he was barely holding on because he didn't drink a lot of medicine, she felt a little relieved.

After entering the main hall, Mu Qing saw Liu Huirong who was guarding beside her. Seeing that she had fallen asleep exhaustedly, she walked slowly and found a cloak for Liu Huirong to put on.The moonlight shone in the room, peaceful and quiet.

Liu Huirong moved her body and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Su Muqing, her eyes lit up.Just as she was about to shout, she was interrupted by Mu Qing's gesture, so she followed Mu Qing out of the palace door quietly.

Outside, Mu Qing closed her eyes and listened to Liu Huirong telling her what happened today word by word.Mu Qing didn't say a word, but every time she heard something dangerous, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

"Two days later, I'm going to fight back against the enemy." Mu Qing said suddenly, which surprised Liu Huirong. She was a little at a loss, and then roughly grabbed Mu Qing's arms and shouted: "How can you, a woman... ...isn't there still a lot of people..."

"I'm a woman, and I'm also a national policy officer." Mu Qing gave a wry smile, then stepped forward and gently hugged Liu Huirong's body, "If I die, can I return to the harem and take good care of the emperor for me?"

Liu Huirong was slightly startled, then pushed Mu Qing away, and said angrily: "You heartless woman, if I hadn't come to look for you, I wouldn't have come back to this damn place. You!" Liu Huirong raised her hand as she spoke, but Mu Qing looked at her pretending to be innocent.Liu Huirong pouted, and took a long time to take off her hand and let out a long sigh.

She knew from a long time ago that she would never be able to defeat Su Muqing.

"You should enter the harem by yourself. I..." Liu Huirong paused, then coughed twice and said, "Outside... there are still people waiting for me."

Mu Qing was slightly startled, her heart suddenly warmed up, "So it's the girl who fell in love with you."

Liu Huirong's face flushed, and she stepped forward and said, "Today I know how much the emperor loves you. I was so stupid and crazy that I wanted to fight with you..." Liu Huirong sighed and said, "Back then I remember when that Su Muqing was in the palace. The reason why I have the opportunity to be favored by the emperor is because although the emperor thinks he likes that Su Muqing, everyone in the harem knows that the emperor is all about state affairs. , I haven’t even touched her at that time. Even if I care occasionally, it’s just a ignorant first acquaintance. But the emperor treats you completely differently. When the emperor thinks of you, he will secretly smile , and secretly do many things for you. At that time, I just didn’t want to admit it, but now that I think about it, the emperor seems to have fallen in love with you a long, long time ago. So..." She looked at Mu Qing squarely again, holding her hands together Rou Ning, who had touched Mu Qing, said seriously, "Your Majesty is waiting for you. Don't say anything about whether you will replace me or not. You have to come back properly, and then love the Emperor well. This is the first time I have begged someone so sincerely. , It is also the first time that I sincerely want to say to you that I am belated..." At this point, Liu Huirong took a step back and knelt down slowly, and she said softly on the ground, "The queen is a thousand years old."

Mu Qing was stunned suddenly, she never thought that Liu Huirong would keep these old things in her heart.She smiled bitterly, stepped forward and rubbed her fluffy hair, "Well, I'll be back. Then I have to see the man you picked."

Liu Huirong was startled, blushed, and looked away shyly.

"I heard from Imperial Physician Zhang that you won the opportunity for the emperor and poured out half a glass of poisoned wine, so that you can stabilize your body a little bit. I want to thank you."

Hui Rong raised her head, looked at Mu Qing, then stepped forward and quietly fell beside her, "Su Muqing, if you were a man, I think I would like you. But you are a woman, so I will do my best to help you. You protect your man. You are the first time I met a strong enemy in my life, and it was also the first time I experienced a complete defeat. It also made me realize that I really am such a friend... Come back alive, Otherwise, even if you are buried, I will dig you out."

"Wow, so ruthless." Mu Qing laughed, and then took a deep breath, "Promise me, at least help me protect the emperor for the next few days."

Liu Huirong raised her head confidently, imitating Mu Qing's usual appearance, patted herself on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Nanyue's blood also flows on my body. The hottest and most loyal blood. Now, hurry up and accompany me. Accompany the emperor."

"En." Mu Qing nodded, then stretched out her hand and shook Liu Huirong's palm tightly, as if making an oath.

The moonlight was still quiet, looking at Liu Huirong who was walking away, Mu Qing's eyes gradually became more gentle.

She forgot to tell her that the current Liu Huirong is also an important existence in her heart, sometimes no one can guess the opportunities in the world, the old enemy of the past, the best friend of today, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Now, let's go and see Feng, at least have a good talk with Feng before she leaves.

Mu Qing turned around and entered the hall again.

Pushing open the familiar door, Mu Qing quietly stepped into the hall.She always felt that she had been to this place countless times, but at this moment, it was quiet and made her feel lonely.

The moonlight shone on her icy blue clothes, showing a bit of cold charm. Her long hair was light and fluttering behind her, like a dream.She took a deep breath and tried her best to forget the pain in her heart.Then changed into a quiet and gentle.

She gradually walked towards the bedside. Every step she took felt so heavy. Every step she took seemed to be overflowing with emotion.

She really wanted to hug that man like this, really wanted to fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.But she was also very afraid, afraid that when she saw him, he would no longer be able to open his eyes, and even more afraid that he would just disappear from her eyes.

Standing next to the bed, Mu Qing stared deeply at him in front of her, her fingertips hesitated to touch his face, the cold temperature pierced into her fingertips like a needle, and flowed out to her heart along with her blood.

How long has it been since you saw his sleeping face?The last time, it seemed to be when she was slapped by the priest.

It really feels like it happened many years ago, so far away that even if you stretch out your hand, you can't touch it.

"Wind..." Mu Qing sat on the ground and muttered softly, then slowly lay down on the side of the bed, staring at him by the moonlight, she no longer had to be afraid of anything.

How happy it would be if time could stop at this moment.In the past, she always felt that such clichés were illusory words in novels, but today she really felt this extreme longing.

She held his finger carefully, it was cold, and she moved her face closer, as if feeling his last warmth.

If we say that the most important meaning to her first half of life is to keep the general's life.The most important meaning for her in the second half of her life is to fall in love with this man and devote her whole life to this man.

When there was no one around, although Mu Qing didn't close her eyes, a light amount of moisture landed on his fingertips, making it moist.

She never cried easily, but if it was today, she didn't want to bear it any longer. Her fragility and reluctance were the last thing left to him.

Because she had a vague premonition that once she left, she would never come back again.

The two days passed extremely quickly.In these two days, except for the strategy of subordinates and inspecting the soldiers, Mu Qing spent all the rest of the time by Bei Tangfeng's side. He was still motionless and unconscious. No matter how difficult it is to recover from the antidote, even if you barely survive with these imperial doctors, you are just a walking dead, and you will never have your own emotions and consciousness.

But different from those imperial doctors, Mu Qing kept smiling all the time, she firmly believed that Beitang Feng would get better, the only thing she was not sure about was whether she could still see it.But Su Muqing didn't tell anyone about this.

During the night vigil in Mingyang Palace, she would occasionally pick up a pen and write something about what she saw, heard and felt after coming to this world, and she recorded all the knowledge she knew on it.Of course, there is also the deepest emotion for Beitangfeng.In the past, she always denied it because of her self-esteem, but at this moment she just wanted to tell this man loudly how much she loved him, to the bone, to the heart.

At the same time, Beitang Mo is also actively deploying all the manpower in the city to deal with things quickly, so that the law and order and riots in the city will gradually subside. Mu Qing can't help but listen to the reports from the people in the city every day. I once again lamented the talent of the prince.

Not long after, Shen Yunzhi also sent someone to reply, saying that the strategy had been communicated to Zuo Xun. As they had expected, Zuo Xun was not easy to obey, but after reading the tactics and hearing that the letter was from Su Muqing , and get ready right away.

In short, everything is going smoothly, and her future life is also properly arranged.

Now is the last time, Mu Qing sits quietly by the window of Mingyang Palace alone, drinking alone under the moon, like a peaceful and prosperous age.At this time Li Dexi entered, and gave Mu Qing a brocade box, saying that it was something the emperor would never forget, and would often bring it to look at.Mu Qing opened it, and her eyes suddenly fell into a little pain.

It's the jade flute carved with blue tasseled dragon.

Recalling the impulsiveness when she left the palace that day, recalling that she had left Beitangfeng behind just like that, she couldn't help feeling a little sad again.

"During the time when the empress left, the emperor was really in pain." Li Dexi said, and then knelt on the ground, "If the emperor did not have the empress, maybe this life is really just a walking dead. Please come back alive no matter what."

Mu Qing was slightly startled, and smiled bitterly.She put her hand on Li Dexi's shoulder and patted it, but didn't say a word.

She can't give this promise, she can only do her best to live, other than that, she can't say anything.

"Heaven, it's about to dawn." Mu Qing murmured, took the jade flute, rubbed it quietly, and then put it on her lips and blew it slowly. The song "Li Shang" is heartbreaking and contains her thousand feelings. Worrying.

If she is not here, after so many years, will the emperor still remember that such a woman has stayed in his heart?

Putting down the flute, Mu Qing slowly came to the bedside.The sky is getting brighter, and the house is sprinkled with light.Mu Qing gently stroked Beitangfeng's face, and then put the jade flute beside him.She leaned down and kissed Beitangfeng's lips with all her emotions. When her lips left, they trembled slightly.She parted the hair from his face for him, gently softened the marks left by the tight brows, and finally covered him well with the quilt.

"Your Majesty, sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be fine." She smiled softly, then turned and left, as if she was going to court on weekdays, so ordinary and so quiet.

The door of the palace was slightly closed, and the whole place fell into silence again.It's just that no one has ever seen that Beitangfeng's fingertips moved lightly, as if he wanted to grab something.No one could hear him, he murmured palely: "I can't go... I can't go..."

While Nanyue was actively preparing for the battle, the Jin camp welcomed a special guest.

Wan'er was brought to Dongfang Mu's big tent with valuables. Her eyes were full of hope, but she still had a condescending attitude.She approached Dongfang Mu who was wearing a battle uniform, then put the things in the bag aside, and said, "This is a greeting gift from this palace. Don't forget your promise."

Dongfang Mu paused slightly, then turned around with a smile and squeezed Wan'er's jaw, saying, "Promise, what promise?"

A trace of panic flashed in Wan'er's eyes, and she said: "It's you who said, if I can make the emperor listen to me and benefit you, even if my deeds are revealed one day, you will protect my prosperity and wealth afterwards."

Dongfang Mu smiled, then raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right, we don't have any benefits now, so this promise doesn't count."

Wan'er was taken aback, filled with anger.She grabbed Dongfang Mu's arm and shouted: "But I have already put Beitangfeng's life on the line, if not, you would not have found a chance to attack! This is not a benefit, but what! You ungrateful villain! "

"Ingratitude?" Dongfang Mu laughed even more happily when he heard the word. He pushed Wan'er away and said, "You are the one who has the least right to say that people are ungrateful. Now, the lonely king is going to fight, you... "Dongfang Mu smiled, looking down at Wan'er on the ground, "If you want to reward my three armies of the Jin Kingdom, the lonely king will not object, then maybe the lonely king will consider giving you some money." After finishing speaking, he smiled leave.

After he left, Wan'er was completely stunned, an inexplicable distortion appeared on her face.She became confused, began to cover her head, and then frantically stepped forward to hug the treasure she brought. In her mouth, she muttered madly over and over again: "It's all because of her... it's all because of her... She blocked my way of making money and made me fall to this point...I will never give up, never give up...hahahaha, haha..."

Today's day is a bit gloomy.Occasionally, some crows could be heard shouting, probably because there were carrion corpses scattered around.This is the case at the near-junction. There are battles from time to time, but the soldiers who are not recovered are eventually buried in the dust of history.

Dongfang Mu sat on the horse, swaying towards the front, admiring the rotten scenery around him.Marching makes the wind and sand dance wildly, and the sound of horseshoes frightens the sky.Although it took him some time to gather the [-] troops, but now that they were ready, he felt that everything would be fine.

"Your Majesty, look there is someone coming over there." One of the generals said beside Dongfang Mu's ear.

Dongfang Mu pushed the heavy helmet with his fingertips, then squinted his eyes and looked forward.

After a long time, when the earth-colored mist was gradually blown away by the wind, a petite figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Dongfang Mu was slightly stunned, shaking his head. I took another look.In front of him, a slender man in white, with his arms folded around his chest, dangled alone at the border.

Dongfang Mu frowned, then turned to ask his general, "Who is this?"

"Your Majesty, our military spies have never seen such a No. [-] sergeant in Nanyue. And... this is too thin." The general smiled, and looked contemptuously at the person in front of him.

"Ha... Let the lonely king see, kill him first." After Dongfang Mu finished speaking, he raised his long sword, but just as he was about to issue an order, the general at the side grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."

"So what?" Dongfang Mu seemed impatient.

"This person obviously saw us, but his expression is calm. Could it be... there is a deceit ahead?"

"Let's take another look." The general said, and then turned his gaze to the person in front of him.

And the white-clothed man they were so vigilant at the moment was Su Muqing who came alone without even a weapon.

Different from them, Su Muqing had a relaxed face, she was still holding a fallen leaf by her lips, biting it occasionally, her face was full of contempt.

As she said before, as long as she is wearing this dress, she alone is enough to delay their time and let the east and west lines attack as soon as possible.She has already let the two generals release rumors that King Jin has been captured, as long as King Jin can delay the way forward, the east and west lines will be enough to win.Then the two lines counterattacked, and King Jin was the turtle in the urn.So all she needs to do is stall for time.

She is one against ten, she is like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth, and she will never do it recklessly, so this time, she and Dongfang Mu are comparing each other with heart and tricks.And to deal with Dongfang Mu, an empty city plan is the best, because people like him are usually "smart but misunderstood by cleverness".

"Hey, are you here for an outing? Come here, I'll show you around." Mu Qing raised her voice, her eyes became more frivolous.

"Your Majesty, he is luring us over." The general said, and then snorted coldly, "I have seen this kind of trick a lot, it seems that this is a novice."

The general sneered, looked sideways at Dongfang Mu and said, "Your Majesty, we must not pass."

"Then what should we do?" Dongfang Mu was a little anxious when he heard this, "I can't go, I can't go, there are so many people, I can't go! The east and west are already at war, how can the lonely king stop?!"

"Otherwise, ask this person first?" the general asked.

Dongfang Mu narrowed his eyes, then nodded slowly, "Just ask."

The general accepted the order, so he yelled at Mu Qing, "Brother, we are here to find the empress, not to attack the city, don't be afraid."

Hearing the general asking about Wan'er, Mu Qing's eyes slowly shrank, and it became clear that Wan'er had defected to the enemy and treasoned the country.

What a queen, she really made her never get the name "Su Muqing"!

Mu Qing slowly pulled her lips, and her eyes flicked slightly.Let's try playing hard to get, maybe it will slow them down because of doubts.It's just that in this "playing hard to get" game, they must first use the clues she deliberately released to feel that there is a situation in front of them, so that they dare not step across the border between the two countries at this time.

How can we make them more suspicious?

Thinking of this, Mu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, then she twitched the corners of her lips, and said, "Otherwise, let me ask for the masters, maybe I can find it..."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, she deliberately raised her hand, and then shouted, "Brother soldier, these masters want to ask someone."

And at the moment when Mu Qing shouted, Dongfang Mu's eyes suddenly shrank, and then the horse under him subconsciously shrank back, which made the general also slightly stunned, and whispered, "Your Majesty, why... "

"Finger, that finger!" Dongfang Mu swallowed his saliva lightly, even suppressing his aura just now, "The lonely king knows that finger."

"Finger?" The general was puzzled, and raised his head to look at Mu Qing's hand that was still raised high. Sure enough, he saw a jade finger on her thumb, so he asked, "Is there anything special about this finger?"

Dongfang Mu took a deep breath, as if he had fallen into a very bad memory, and then said in a low voice, "That wrench is different in color from all jade wrench, but a dragon blood wrench that only the royal family of Nanyue can wear, and this wrench is ...and use a unique shape, which means..."

The general gasped, looked again at the slender and inconspicuous man in white, and murmured palely, "It means that this is Emperor Nanyue, the person beside Beitangfeng."

Realizing this, Dongfang Mu shrank his eyes fiercely, and then with a gesture, he retreated a few steps from the army order that was gradually approaching the limit, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he had returned to his own dividing line, saying: "Sure enough, there is fraud in it."
