Black Moonlight, after her robbery

Ti Zhen watched the first snow falling on the bluestone ground, making a "hissing" sound. It was quiet and distant, and he unconsciously hugged the hand stove in his arms tightly.

He raised his eyes and asked, "Has everyone been collected?"

Wenxiu nodded silently: "Take it, Xiao Li fell in love with that girl as soon as he saw her."

"That's good. I'm still afraid. I intend to give him a beauty, but he doesn't want to accept it." Ti Zhen asked again, "What's the girl's name? I'll give her family a reward."

Wenxiu answered truthfully: "I heard that her surname is Deng, her name is Yingtao, and she is an orphan. She is willing to go because she has a feud with the Jie tribe, so she is willing to do things for us without asking for rewards."

Suddenly she paused, "But to be honest, that girl is really alive... She looks very much like you. No wonder Xiao Li..."

Ti Zhen was just startled, and then turned coldly, "The cold-blooded people think they are affectionate, hurting themselves and others. This is the most unworthy thing."

She took a breath slowly and said, "As long as it can achieve its goal."

Wenxiu seemed puzzled, "But, girl, since we have set up a trap to lure Xiao Li into the arrow formation, why not kill him quickly? Why do we have to let Deng Tao Tao save him?"

Ti Zhen's shoulders moved slightly, and there seemed to be contempt in his gaze, "After all, I still have doubts in my heart."

She turned her head and looked at her, "If Xiao Li wanted to expose it, he would have done it as early as possible when he was in Dawei. Why would he have to contact Lixin today? Besides, both of them are empty talk and have no substance." Why should I be exposed if there is no evidence? And what substantive benefits can the exposure bring to Xiangguo?"

Speaking of which, she frowned carefully and said carefully, "I always feel that the person who told Li Xin and Wang Zhenmi the truth must know me very well and know my situation thoroughly, otherwise he would not go through such troubles to help Li Xin." Xin ran away.”

She bit her finger silently, "But who is this? Shi Fang has too many enemies."

"If Lixin goes to Beilu Pass, it's just a trick to attack the east and attack the west. Then if I really assassinate Xiao Li, the disaster caused by then will not end well."

The more she calculated, the more carefully she calculated, and the more she calculated, the more cautious she became, staring at the jeweled bouquet with eyes that were almost gnawing at people.

Hehe smiled and said, "If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of me, I will be fooled by my cleverness instead of being clever. It is better to arrange a spy like Tao Tao and keep an eye on it carefully for me. If it is really found out that it is Xiao Li, it will be easy to take action."

As he said that, there was an uncontrollable fierceness in his determination, "As for Da Wei, we should search carefully and not let go of any trace!"

Wen Xiuyi said yes, and then she continued, "Yang Zu sent people to fly eagles to deliver the message. The cold arrows of the assassination in the dense forest have been planted on the body of the fifth prince Qi Ming. Don't worry, girl."

Ti Zhen narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "That's good. These fifth princes are the brothers of Crown Prince Xiang. A few years ago, King Xiang brought the Crown Prince and Xiao Li to the court to congratulate him. The Crown Prince was jealous of Xiao Li. Even more favored by King Xiang, he arranged an assassination in the palace in the northern suburbs, causing a great uproar. Later, Ting Weisi found out that the assassin was the prince, so Qi Hao would not avoid harming the feudal clan, so he had to kill his son to apologize."

Her expression became more determined, "I think now, after all these years, the fifth prince's hatred for Xiao Li is still unabated. Even so, why not take the opportunity to make them more violent..."

For a moment, a sharp color flashed in his eyes, and he held his arm tightly and said.

"This beauty is enchanting, the hero is defeated, and the Wei Dynasty is in a state of chaos due to civil strife. It is the turn of Xiangguo to taste it."

Wenxiu's eyes were firm, "I understand, and I will ask someone to send a message to Yingtao, and I will see an opportunity to instigate a dispute between Xiao Li and the fifth prince."

Ti Zhen smiled slightly, then picked up the tea cup to drink, then quickly put it down and covered his heart, frowning slightly and gasping for air.

Wenxiu saw that her expression was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to help her arm, "What's wrong?"

After a while, she gradually calmed down and said, "It's okay. I just feel a little flustered lately. I asked the doctor to come and see her. He said it's fine. It's probably because I've been working too much lately. Just get more rest."

When Wen Yuan heard this, he smiled and replied, "Then go and make the girl a cup of jasmine tea to soothe her nerves."

Before he finished speaking, there were a few faint whispers of panic, and Ti Zhen's heart sank slightly. For some reason, he instantly felt that his whole body was soaked in cold, as if the cold air of nine consecutive winters was pressing into his bones.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a young eunuch holding a bright yellow imperial edict stumbled in. He said with a mournful face: "This slave, by your Majesty's imperial edict, please quickly enter the palace!"

Ti Zhen's face suddenly turned as cold as frost, and he stood up hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened in such a hurry?"

The young eunuch shook his head and sobbed, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is critically ill. Please come into the palace as soon as possible!"

Ti Zhen's pupils suddenly widened, and his scorched and pale lips trembled uncontrollably: "What did you say?"

"Queen...Queen can't survive!" Ti Zhen staggered a few steps in shock and fell into the red sandalwood chair, as if something was suddenly passing away in her heart.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and entered the palace. There were already crowds of people in the Jiaofang Palace. Everyone's eyes were red. She entered the palace tremblingly. Wen Yu had been waiting inside for a long time.

He took her hand and led her to the inner hall, "The queen has been waiting for you. It seems she has something to say. Please go in quickly."

Ti Zhen nodded repeatedly, opened the gauze curtains, and shed tears.

She pursed her lips hard to prevent crying from escaping from her fingers. She walked to the Queen's bed and knelt down, "Queen..."

The emperor hurriedly propped up the queen with a pillow and said, "Princess Qin is here."

The queen slowly turned her head, her pale face was reduced to a thin one, but she could still see the gentle look of the past in her thin face.

"Good boy, here you come."

Ti Zhen's heart felt like it was being pressed tightly by a boulder, and he couldn't breathe. He raised his smiling face for a long time and said, "I know His Highness misses me, so I came here after hearing the news. I see you have lost weight. I will accompany you later." Let’s eat.”

The queen shook her head and said, "I can't get enough of anything. I asked you to come here just to see you again."

Ti Zhen looked confused, shed tears in a daze, and choked with sobs: "Don't say stupid things, the queen is a thousand years old..."

The queen just looked at her with a smile and said: "Do you know that you are a lot like me? From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a lot like me..."

She suppressed the stagnation in her heart again and again, and slowed down her rapid breathing, "I think...even if it is my biological child, he won't look like that."

She took a long, slow breath, tears lingering in her eyes.

"It's a pity that I'm not lucky enough to have a daughter in my life. I can't save Qinghe, nor can I save my unborn child."

Suddenly there was a light of hope in his eyes, and he smiled faintly, "If Qinghe could grow up safely, he should be like you now... and his husband will be in love for a long time..."

She shook her head and looked at Ti Zhen with great attachment, "I can't see it anymore... but fortunately you are very happy..."

She held her face with her hand and asked, "Has King Qin always treated you well?"

Ti Zhen nodded with tears in his eyes, "Your Highness treats me with deep love and loyalty."

The queen seemed to exhale with satisfaction, "Then I'll feel at ease."

"From now on, Xi'er will be taken care of by His Majesty, and you will be protected by your husband, so I can rest in peace."

"It's just Nao'er... I'm afraid I won't be able to see you get married. I only hope that you are willing to find a good husband for her, protect her, love her, and don't leave her helpless and bullied. ."

Zheng Ao was so excited that she couldn't speak. She shook her head desperately and made a rumbling sound in her throat, "Queen... no, I don't want anyone. I only want you. You are the best person to me in the world. I don't want you." To get married, I only want you!"

She held the queen's hand tightly and cried endlessly, "I would rather twist my hair and go to the temple to be a sister-in-law. I would rather not get married without a marriage in this life. I just want to stay with you, as long as you stay with me forever!"

The queen was stunned for a moment and felt quite distressed. She touched her head and said, "You are talking nonsense again. You still have a long future...a long time. I only hope that my daughters can be happy all their lives..."

Ti Zhen listened to the queen's words as if her heart was being ripped out, so he had no choice but to answer and reassure her, "The princess is like a little sister to me and your highness. We will take good care of the princess."

When the queen heard what she said, she nodded very softly, "You understand justice most deeply, so why can't I trust you? It's just..."

The originally calm face quickly struggled up, held up the emperor's arm, sat up weakly, and looked at her with infinite compassion, "It's just that I also have a prayer for you, and I want you to agree to it."

Ti Zhen straightened up and said, "Queen, please tell me."

"You...can you call me 'Mother', just once, can you?"

Ti Zhen hesitated, not expecting the queen to say these words.Even the emperor and Wen Yu outside the house were stunned.
