imperial psychologist

Chapter 394 End
When the attack outside the hall suddenly stopped, Mrs. Zhen was keenly aware of the turning point.

——Dawn, and Bo Ling once said last night, "As long as we last until dawn, the prince will bring his troops back."

Mrs. Zhen waited in the hall for a while, until Jin Yiwei, who had been keeping an eye on the situation outside, said that Mu Chengda seemed to be in some confusion.

So Zhen made up his mind and went out to persuade him to surrender.

Seeing that several people left the shelter of the hall, Mu Chengda, who had been completely dazzled by the ensuing changes, immediately shouted again.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let the arrows go! Let the arrows go!"

However, none of the soldiers of the left guard battalion moved. They looked at each other in confusion, but none of them raised their bows and swords.

Zhen Shi took another step forward slowly.

"You are all soldiers of the Great Zhou...the swords in your hands should not be used in this kind of place.

"The golden man is staring at the northern border. A good man should go to defend his home and country, and shed his blood on the battlefield... instead of dying in vain in this place."

The soldiers had complicated faces. After a night of exhaustion, these words pierced through their armor like a sharp dagger.

"The late emperor passed away, and the rebellious officials usurped the throne. As the late emperor's personal soldiers, you are here to help the evildoers and besiege the emperor's palace. Such crimes are not worth a thousand cuts...

"But as soldiers, obeying the general's orders is your first responsibility. You were deceived, and you fought fiercely here all night, with so many casualties... you have paid the price you deserved
"So, turn around before it's irretrievable." Zhen said softly, "Put down your weapons now, and forget about what happened last night. Parents, wives, and all relatives within the nine clans are all doomed to die."

Zhen raised her hand, "The road is at your feet, choose for yourself."

Starting from the most marginal soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Left Guard Battalion took off their sabers one by one, and a longbow was discarded in the open space in front of them.

Mu Chengda waved his knife in vain, threatening to kill these subordinates who disobeyed the order.

"Han Chong," said Zhen in a low voice, "take his head."

The soldiers of the Left Guard Battalion standing in front also heard Wang Hao's order, and all of them retreated to the side, making a way between Han Chong and Mu Chengda——Han Chong, who looked like Yama, locked his eyes on On Mu Chengda's body, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Mu Chengda gritted his teeth and drew his sword, leaned forward slightly, and faced the challenge.

However, there is no suspense at all.

What happened next was not a fight at all, but a simple torture - beheading hands, feet, and piercing confidantes. It was not until Mu Cheng stared and died completely that Han Chong chopped off his head with a single knife. The hair held it in his hand.

Blood dripped down on the ground, making Song Bozong and Song Na's faces turn pale.

"Hanging to the gate of the city." Zhen said with a blank face. She glanced at the Song family father and son, "Ge Lao, Xiao Ge Lao...you, you are not so lucky."

The soldiers in the left guard camp dispersed.

The messenger who ran from the Meridian Gate earlier knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhen, and told the news of the prince's return with his troops again.

"Send the order down and open the palace gate."

"Yes!"

The soldier quickly turned back and ran away.

Zhen Shi looked in the direction of the Meridian Gate and felt her eye sockets burning hot—as expected, the prince had returned.

She turned her head, "Master Sun and Master Zhang can still walk?"

Both veterans nodded.

"Then... let's go to the Meridian Gate together," Zhen said with a low laugh, "to welcome the crown prince."

The two bowed, "Yes, go to meet the prince!"

From the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Meridian Gate, the distance is not far, but Mrs. Zhen has never hoped to reach the end of this road so quickly.

Several people walked towards the Meridian Gate with their fastest speed.

The few people had just passed the Hall of Supreme Harmony when they saw Chen Yicong striding past the Gate of Supreme Harmony at the other end of the empty square——

……

In the dimness, Bo Ling vaguely heard someone calling his name.

As soon as he regained consciousness, the pain all over his body came again.

Opening his eyes, the surroundings were dim—this place was still a prison, with the familiar wet ground and rotten straw, Bai Ling raised his eyes and saw Wei Shishi's eyes.

Wei Shishi asked a few words about Bo Ling's physical condition softly, and Bo Ling answered them one by one.

Seeing that she was sane after waking up, Wei Shishi was slightly relieved.

"Are you still strong?" he asked in a low voice.

Bo Ling shook his head, "What's going on outside..."

"It's all over." Wei Shishi replied quickly, "Shen Jichuan came back with Feihuying after receiving the news. The son brought back five thousand tomb guards from Yongling. Now Mu Chengda, the leader of the rebel army, has been killed Show it to the public, and Song Bozong and his son have already been captured... In short, Prince Gong won."

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, with a slight smile on her face, she looked at Shisi again, "... Where is the imperial concubine? Where are the imperial concubine and King Qi now..."

Wei Shishi was silent for a moment, but he still replied truthfully, "He committed suicide."

There was not much shock on Bo Ling's face, but he suddenly felt that everything around him became cold.

A few hours ago, the imperial concubine was still saying goodbye to her here...

It's all over now.

"I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital." Wei Shishi whispered, "Bo Yi is also there."

Berlin didn't answer.

Wei Shishi pulled up his hood, he took off his cloak and covered Bo Ling, then carefully picked up the girl and walked out.

The sunlight outside the prison was dazzling, Bai Ling slightly turned his head in the direction of Wei Shishi, and closed his eyes tightly.

Before he had gone far, the sound of Chen Yicong's horse's hooves came from not far away. Wei Shishi stopped for a while, and Shizi dismounted from his horse and ran towards this side quickly.

He called Bo Ling's name, but Bo Ling lay in Fourteen's arms without saying a word, as if he didn't hear him.

Chen Yicong became anxious, "I just heard from my concubine that she was sent to the poison prison—they tortured her? Is it serious? Did she pass out? Do you want to—"

Wei Shishi shook his head, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Bo Ling is not in danger of life."

He looked down at Bo Ling, "She's just too tired, and her wound hurts too. The prince makes room, and I'll send her to the Tai Hospital first."

"I brought a carriage." Chen Yicong said immediately, "Get in the carriage."

……

All danger is lifted.

It seems so.

Bai Ling closed her eyes, feeling dizzy in her head, and even the welt marks on her body could not wake her up.

Tears slowly seeped out.

"I want to go to Chengqian Palace." Bai Ling who was on the carriage said suddenly, "Can I go to Chengqian Palace?"

"What are you going to do?"

"The noble concubine said... she left something for me." Bai Ling murmured.

"What is it?" Wei Shishi looked at her, "I'll get it for you."

Just as Bo Ling wanted to speak, he shook his head again, "Forget it..."

From Pingjing all the way to pursue Shenjichuan's troops, Wei Shishi also worked hard all night... At a time like this, he can't be allowed to do anything for a purse.

Everyone desperately needs a break.

But Berlin didn't want to rest.

In a daze, she saw Qu's last smile, and everything in the past flashed back in her memory like a scroll.
