Work overtime

After Jiang Yuebai gave his sword to Chen Mingguang, he took out the Supreme Sword rewarded by the system.

It's said to be a supreme one, but it looks very ordinary. You can't find the sword among the swords.

But when he used it to kill people, Jiang Yuebai saw its power, truly cutting iron like clay.As long as a sword cuts through it, both the person and the sword will break apart without using a lot of force.

With Chen Mingguang charging into the battle as a death squad, Jiang Yuebai successfully brought everyone out of the sea of ​​fire.

When Chen Guangming looked dead and rushed out of the window with his sword, Jiang Yuebai kept his promise and cut off the three swords that stabbed him, but the other two swords still pierced his abdominal and chest cavities.

Blood stained the black gold cloak.Jiang Yuebai killed the ambusher and put the cloak on himself again.

Outside the palace, a dignified-looking man wearing armor rode on horseback and led the rebels to launch a frenzied attack on the Jinwu Guards.

Comrade Lin Yunjing, the commander on the left, followed his arrangements and directed the archers who had been ambushing them long ago to release arrows.

Arrow feathers flew like locusts into the incoming rebels, and there was a roar of wailing.

The other party did the opposite and rushed to the front, ordering all the thieves to charge with him.

The two sides started fighting together.

"kill!"

Because the emperor and Rui Jieyu were both there, the morale of the soldiers who were inspired to defend Cining Palace to the death was high, and they swung their swords like chopping watermelons.

The leading man rode his horse and rushed towards the palace gate alone.

Standing at the door was a man with a dark complexion, wearing armor and holding a knife. He was Lin Yunjing, a fellow commander.

On the left and right stood two attendants who were also in fighting postures.They vowed to defend the palace gate to the death and cut off the thieves' follow-up support.

The galloping horse can be seen with the naked eye as a sweaty horse, tall and mighty.It staggered suddenly, almost falling, and slowed down, trying to steady itself.The man cracked his whip, and the bloody horse endured the severe pain and continued to rush in with its owner.

Immediately afterwards, two more arrows were shot from the air.

One arrow hit the horse's neck, and another arrow hit the visitor's neck.

The arrow in the chest was shot from behind.It means someone is ambushing him in the dark.

He fell from the horse holding his neck.

Looking up at the door plaque of Cining Palace, he spit out a mouthful of blood with hatred.

"Sir!"

Someone rushed over, brandishing a knife, and anxiously helped the prince up.

"Come quickly! Protect the Crown Prince!"

Several panicked people hurriedly followed.

"The Crown Prince is dead! Your lives are numbered." Lin Yunjing, a fellow commander, shouted loudly, "Jinwu Guards, kill me! Behead the Crown Prince, and the Emperor will reward you!"

Sure enough, the news of the prince's death disturbed the morale of the army.The people outside began to get into a mess, some people became more murderous, and some people began to plot to escape under the cover of night.

In the dark night, a white figure carrying a quiver and a bow on his back and a long sword quietly entered the Cining Palace.

Cining Palace was in chaos, with sounds of fighting everywhere, loud clashes of weapons, and screams of injured people.The dormitory was ablaze, and someone was there to put out the fire.

The people putting out the fire were in a hurry, but not in a panic.Obviously the Queen Mother is not inside, and may have been secretly placed by the Emperor.

The masked man in white walked quickly along the palace wall and headed towards the side hall.As he hurried to the pond, he heard a clear whimpering sound coming from a hole in the rockery.

He got in and took a look by the moonlight. Inside the hole, the Queen Mother's limbs were being held down hard by four guards squatting on the ground.

The man in white mistakenly believed that these people were bullying the Queen Mother, so he killed four guards with his sword and tore off the cloth from the Queen Mother's mouth.

After the Queen Mother screamed twice, when she saw the man bending down to check her injuries, she was stunned for a moment and endured the pain of gouging out and scratching her heart.

The Queen Mother hesitated and asked warily, "Who are you?"

She was in unbearable pain, but she still struggled to sit up and stay away from the masked man in front of her.She smelled carefully the faint scent of fresh bamboo amid the strong smell of blood in the air.

A name that has been on my mind for so many years is about to come out.

The masked man ignored her, but frowned and thought about something.

In the darkness, the Queen Mother stretched out her arm and was about to touch the other person's face, but the other party grabbed her hand.

"Are you poisoned?" The man's voice was without any warmth.

Hearing Han Ziqian's voice, the always strong Queen Mother shed tears. Screams and shouts escaped from her throat and were forcibly locked in her mouth, turning into a sad sob.

"Zi Qian, you are finally willing to come and see me. That beast gave me cold poison. Life is worse than death."

After saying that, he grabbed Han Ziqian's arm and screamed uncontrollably, no longer as sharp as before.

Han Ziqian hesitated for a moment, followed the Queen Mother's hand, brought his arm to her mouth, and said in a low voice: "If you can't help it, just bite my arm. Don't attract people, the emperor is in danger."

The Queen Mother held back the severe pain and burst into tears. She slowly pulled Han Ziqian's arm and bit it hard.

Han Ziqian endured the pain in his arm, sighed slightly, held the shivering Queen Mother in her arms, and stared out warily with a sword in one hand.

However, the Queen Mother suddenly let go of his arm, hugged Han Ziqian with her backhand, and kissed his cold lips.

Han Ziqian backed away stiffly and hit the stone wall with a muffled sound. He turned his head and insisted on putting his arm silently in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother grabbed his arm and said in despair, "I will die of poison tomorrow. I"

At this time, the desperate heartache and the bone-gnawing pain all over her body were superimposed, making her whole body tremble violently.

Han Ziqian closed his eyes and ignored her, pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and coldly forced his arms into her mouth, "If you don't want everyone to die together, don't make a sound."

The Queen Mother bit Han Ziqian's arm again with tears in her eyes. She wanted to ask him if he had never liked her before, or why he had not married for so many years, or why he seemed to come to save her tonight.

She pressed against his body, leaning on his chest, feeling his warm body temperature and smelling the fresh bamboo smell on his body. The Queen Mother suddenly felt that if she died at noon tomorrow, it would be no big deal.

However, I don’t know whether it’s due to the cold poison, or the long-term suppression of taboo love, or the fact that I’ve been alone for too long, or the closeness, or the fact that people are about to die and want to go crazy and satisfy their obsessions. of madness.

All in all, the Queen Mother had strong desires and complicated emotions in her heart. Although she seemed to be calm and no longer screamed, her throat began to bubble and she unconsciously made two or three small, blushing sounds.

In front of Han Ziqian, who was as ice-like as snow, especially when she felt that he had no desire at all and was just a simple protector, in this situation, she felt strong shame and anger.

Han Ziqian had heard about the power of the cold poison, but he didn't take it seriously when he heard the Queen Mother's moans. He comforted the Queen Mother softly: "Just hold on for a little longer, just hold on until dawn. Think about how cute the emperor was when he was a child, and think about when the emperor ascended the throne. Situation. Thinking of happy things will make you feel better."

The Queen Mother obediently recalled every moment of Li Beichen and Li Beihong from their birth to the present.

In the painful darkness, bright and gorgeous memories emerged, and the pain really eased a lot, as if the body did not belong to me, and the pain gnawing at my heart did not belong to me either.

She thought of the day when Li Beichen was born, which was a crisp autumn day. The stars in the sky shone brightly, and the Beichen star was particularly bright that night.

She remembered the day when Li Beihong was born, it was snowing heavily, snowflakes were floating outside the window, and the world was white.

She remembered the day the late emperor passed away, and she cried and cried beside him. She cried that her suffering had finally come to an end, and that there was no man in the world who could give her the tenderness and love of love. .

She recalled the day when she became a master of Go, it was a spring day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The master smiled and touched her head, saying that she was a rare genius.
In the pitch black darkness, she silently recalled her life.

She recalled that her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake was her favorite when she was a child, and she would eat five or six of it at a time. She recalled that before entering the palace, she looked sad and happy all day long, and her mood changes were so unpredictable that everyone was confused. She recalled that she had liked all kinds of cakes since she was a child. Since the emperor found out about her hairpins, he would give her an extra pair of exquisite hairpins every time he gave her a reward, and the designs would be different each time.The hairpins he wore when greeting each other were different every time, and the other concubines were jealous of him.

Every time she was about to moan in pain, she would bite Han Ziqian's arm hard, close her eyes, and think about these sweet memories again.

Han Ziqian's embrace was warm and solid, and she was very greedy.She burst into tears, feeling that if she obeyed his words like this, she would be obedient and not make any noise, so as not to cause trouble to the emperor.

Maybe after she dies, when Han Ziqian thinks of him, he will have a better impression and not be too miserable.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there were footsteps, and then there was a light.
