Work overtime

Chapter 455 Tragedy

We always tell ourselves that the past is in the past and everything must be moved forward.

But maybe for many people, the past has never gone away, and those pains last a lifetime.

Perhaps for them, forgetting means betrayal.Only revenge can bring the dead to rest and peace of mind.

Li Beichen knew that the Queen Mother poisoned Li Beiwang's biological mother.He was only three years old at the time, but he remembers it clearly.

Li Beiwang's biological mother was a palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace. The queen mother took the initiative to give the late emperor several blessings. After the palace maid gave birth to Li Beiwang, her position was sealed. More than a year later, the queen mother poisoned the palace maid.In accordance with the late emperor's will, Li Beiwang was raised in the name of the Queen Mother.

Li Beichen felt guilty and had been trying hard to compensate Li Beiwang and do his best to him.Give him protection, take Li Beihong to play with him, and share good things with him and his brother.

Li Beiwang and Li Beihong are the same age. They have birthdays at the beginning of the year and birthdays at the end of the year. They have played very well together since they were young. They stick together almost every day and are inseparable.Sometimes they even join forces to deal with their brother together.

Li Beiwang was smart, sweet-tongued and very good at pleasing the Queen Mother. As an adoptive mother, the Queen Mother gradually developed feelings for him. In addition, Li Beiwang was very sensible and often took care of his younger brother. The Queen Mother gradually treated them both almost equally.

Maybe Li Beiwang had always wanted to survive, and for this day's revenge, he had always just been acting out for the occasion.

Li Beichen has been true to himself over the years, especially those times when he was a child, which are precious memories that he treasures deep in his heart.

After being established as the prince, although he was wary and suspicious of Li Beiwang, he believed that he had never treated Li Beiwang badly.He was granted the title of King of Wei. He was previously allowed to serve in the imperial court like his younger brother Li Beihong, but now he is heading to the northern border.The treatment is almost the same as that of Li Beihong.

It stands to reason that Li Beiwang was only over a year old when his mother died, so he should not have remembered the murder of his biological mother.

Li Beichen was wondering, could it be that someone deliberately provoked and told Li Beiwang this past incident?
Otherwise, how could he ignore the relationship between brother and mother and son for so many years and brutally kill the Queen Mother who had worked so hard to raise him?

Or perhaps, the hatred of killing one's mother cannot be reconciled no matter what, and the two sides can only fight to the death.

However, Li Beiwang is dead, and there are no answers to these questions.

Li Beichen smiled coolly, not knowing what he was laughing at.

If your heart is cold, then you will be the king and the loser.

He said loudly: "I will definitely let the traitor Li Beiwang be cut into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be smashed into ashes."

The Sixth Prince was silent, with a sad look on his face.

He faced today's situation in more pain than Li Beichen.Because he didn't know about the grudges back then, he and Li Beiwang used to be so good, like brothers.

He could accept Li Beiwang's rebellion.Born into a royal family, it has been common since ancient times for princes to become ambitious when they reach adulthood, and to rebel and want to become emperor themselves.

He could not accept that Li Beiwang treated his mother who loved them so cruelly.Nakedly tearing apart all the good things in the past and trampling them underfoot, as if everything in the past was a joke.

Jiang Yuebai felt the coldness in Li Beichen's palm, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a life-saving pill here, which can save people's lives. But there is only one life-saving pill. It was originally reserved for the emperor, just in case. The imperial doctor just said that the queen mother is weak and may not be able to survive. Your Majesty, please Let’s see if we can give it to the Queen Mother.”

As he spoke, he placed a bright red pill in Li Beichen's palm.

Li Beichen stared at the round pill in his hand that was as big as a lychee, "Jiaojiao, why do you have so many pills?"

Jiang Yuebai replied hesitantly, "Because of my father, he believes in everything, including Buddhism and Taoism. So he made friends with many eminent monks and Taoists. He built bridges and paved roads and donated to temples, so he got a lot of these secret elixirs." .”

Everything this said about dad is true and not made up.

Jiang Jingxian believed in everything and believed in nothing.

He would burn incense when he saw a temple, and donate money when he entered a Taoist temple.Vegetarian food is eaten on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, but meat and vegetables are not tabooed on ordinary days.

He eats all kinds of things that are inedible according to Buddhism, such as eels, loaches, and tortoises, and he especially likes to eat eel paste.He also eats beef and wild geese as mentioned in Taoism.Of course, he doesn't like eating wild geese, mainly because he thinks they taste bad.

Because of his business, he likes to make friends with people from all walks of life and all kinds of people in the society. He is willing to do good and charity. He often gives people a mouthful of hot rice and a mouthful of hot soup, so he often receives all kinds of strange gifts in return.There was even a Taoist priest who caught a female ghost and gave it to his father, along with a set of ghost-collecting props such as a talisman, a peach wood sword, and an evil-proofing weapon, just in case the female ghost disobeyed him. He said it was to show his father his true abilities. Experience the lingering emotions between humans and ghosts, and enrich your knowledge.

When his father took Jiang Yuebai to practice swordsmanship and have a drink, he once accidentally brought up this topic and told Jiang Yuebai that the world is full of wonders and should neither be despised nor blasphemous, nor should he be obsessed with ghosts.

What he believed in was the Great Way of the Universe, a spiritual realm beyond Taoism and Buddhism.

Jiang Yuebai remembered asking his father at that time what the Universal Avenue was. His father just smiled and said: "Follow the laws of nature, be yourself, do whatever you want, but do not violate the rules. This is the Universal Avenue."

It was so mysterious and mysterious that she didn't understand it.

Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes, wondering if the commotion outside had affected her parents, and whether there might be thieves who wanted to kill her and seek revenge on her parents.Although before coming to Cining Palace, the emperor left a letter telling her that troops had been sent to protect her parents, she still couldn't help but worry.

I always feel uneasy.

Jiang Yuebai just said a few ordinary words, but they were full of deep love for his father, leaving Li Beichen silent for a long time.

He was not sure whether Jiang Yuebai could withstand such a heavy blow.

He didn't dare take the risk.The guards who had just gone to protect Jiang Yuebai's parents came to report that Jiang's family was littered with corpses, and the whole family had been brutally murdered.

Jiang Yuebai's father's body was beheaded and castrated.All the slaves in the family died tragically and no one was spared. All the female slaves were naked and suffered all kinds of humiliation during their lifetime.All male slaves were also beheaded and castrated.

All the parts that were cut off were missing.

The stepmother was found naked, covered in injuries, in a trance, and looked crazy.When she tried to put clothes on her stepmother, she reacted violently, drew a sword and attempted suicide, feeling uncontrollable and sad.

Now she has to be tied up to prevent her from harming herself again, and she has been transferred to a safe place for care.

That night, Jiang Yuebai lost all his closest relatives because he was protecting the royal family.

Jinxiu was stabbed to death, her father was brutally murdered, and her younger brother was kidnapped by Prime Minister Right and disappeared.

I am afraid that even the most stubborn people cannot accept such a brutal revenge of extermination.

Li Beichen felt that he owed Jiang Yuebai too much.So much that he could only repay it with his lifelong protection of her.

They sent people to search Prime Minister Chen's mansion and found that all the servants of Prime Minister Chen had been killed. Prime Minister Chen and his third daughter who had not left the cabinet were no longer there. They were suspected to have fled overnight in fear of crime.All major city gates have been notified to carry out rigorous searches.

Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's shoulders, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

No one can escape the ties of blood ties, not even Jiang Yuebai, nor herself.

He decided to hide it from her first and wait until tonight.

Li Beichen stared into Jiang Yuebai's eyes and confessed to himself, "I believe in you. From now on, I will be your support. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."

The bright red pill in his hand seemed to be made of human flesh and blood, so dazzling.

There was a sentence that echoed repeatedly in his heart: There is only one, it is used to save his life.

This medicine Jiao Jiao was originally specially reserved for him.

His heart was heavy and he was silent for a long time. Then he turned to Lao Liu and said, "Quickly take it and give it to the Queen Mother."

Now it seems that perhaps the original name "Working Overtime by Order" is more in line with the tone of this article.The classes assigned to you can be fun and relaxing, or they can be fast classes.
