It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

For a moment, Mingtan's mood was so complicated that it was difficult to describe.

She glanced at Shengsheng, who was standing not far behind Youfeng, and recalled the happy and intimate times they had when they were young. She also finally understood the reason why her martial arts talent was so mediocre before she was seventeen.

"Can I only choose one between love and martial arts?"

Mingtan suddenly wanted to laugh.

She laughed when she wanted to, but that smile was filled with an unremovable bitterness.

of course.

For the sake of her most beloved woman, she can give up climbing to the pinnacle of martial arts, including the chance to 'transform from infant to Taoist fetus'. Even if she enters the Taoist body realm, her life span can be increased by a hundred years... But without the company of her most beloved person, those extra hundred years will only mean more loneliness and emptiness.

Mingtan had actually already made a choice in his mind, and it could be said that he didn't need to think about it at all to decide on Shengsheng.

But she loves Shengsheng, and Shengsheng no longer loves her.

Over the past decade or so, she has been willing to serve the King of Qin, monopolizing power in the harem and even interfering in the court, which shows how much she is favored by the King of Qin.

Just imagine...

If Xia Li hadn't tried her best to please the king, how could he favor her so much with so many women serving him?

It was precisely because of this thought that Ming Tan had the great breakthrough just now!

So, now that she is the best master in the world except Youfeng, it is still uncertain whether she can win back her former love. Because when she was in Lixian Palace before, Mingtan thought Shengsheng was gone forever, and only the evil spirit of Qinglin remained in her body.

He also used the Feihong Flash technique from the Juejian style to take his life.

With just that one flying knife, even if the other party still had feelings for her, she would have completely cut off all ties with him.

and.

At that time, Qin Yun used his body to block the knife at the cost of his life, which was equivalent to killing the other party's beloved King Qin. Adding the two together, I am afraid that Sheng Sheng has already hated me...

Don't even mention old love or childhood sweetheart, I'm afraid it would be good if you don't hate her to the core.

"What should I do?"

Everyone thought that the heartless and desireless leader was now worried and worried about how to rekindle his past relationship.

......

Ming Tan's elimination of the demon and the formation of a baby is certainly a major event that attracts everyone's attention, but some things still need to be dealt with clearly to give an explanation to the people of the world.

"Since Lord Youfeng has cleared the name of the Queen Mother, then..."

Jian Qing, who had been planning for a long time, was the first to go out and spoke loudly under You Feng's cold and deep gaze.

She looked like she was the first to do something, and it was Qin Dai's suggestion, so no one doubted her true intention. The only person who did not doubt her was Zheng Qian, one of the deputy commanders of Wang Shu's army, a man who had been in love with Jian Qing since he saw her at the age of seven.

Be clear about the other party’s true intentions.

"...The Queen Mother's deeds are too numerous to list. They brought chaos to the court, and caused the king to lose his moral integrity and the people to suffer. If all her deeds have nothing to do with the Green Scale Evil Spirit, she should give an explanation to the people of the world."

"and many more!"

Seeing Jian Qing was still talking, Sheng Sheng was shocked and couldn't let her continue.

What on earth does this woman want to do? Her reputation is almost cleared thanks to You Feng’s assist.

"I have something to say, please listen carefully, officers and soldiers."

Shengsheng hurriedly proved her innocence to avoid being further accused.

"When I first entered the palace, I was a lady from a noble family. I had read a lot of books since I was young and followed etiquette. But the evil spirit of green scales entered my body, and evil thoughts grew and disturbed my mind. I couldn't sleep peacefully every night, and I would regret it when I made a mistake..."

Shengsheng had a sad expression and tears were streaming down her face.

She talked a lot, speaking with such sincerity and heart, her bright peach blossom eyes swept across the three armies, and everyone seemed to feel that the Queen Mother was looking at him... those gleaming blue eyes, that sad and resentful expression.

No matter how hard one's heart is, or how one thinks he has never been attracted by beautiful women and is focused on practicing.

Their hearts softened and their minds were disturbed.

——Alas, the Queen Mother is also a miserable person.

Following Shengsheng’s story.

Gradually, everyone understood clearly that the main soul of Qinglin had deeply corrupted Xia Li. Although her consciousness was still in control, her actions gradually lost their original intentions, and sometimes she did cruel and vicious things unconsciously.

It's like going crazy.

It is often only after the fact that Xia Li realizes what evil he has done!

She had a very hard time these years...

After being disturbed by the evil spirit and doing evil, he prayed to God every day and night when he was awake, praying for the people in the world whose lives were affected by his evil deeds. He only ate one meal in three days and accompanied himself with a green lamp every night.

There wasn't a single day of restful sleep.

But she was also a weak woman, how could she contend with the evil leader from a thousand years ago? The reason she was able to maintain her self-awareness for a few moments was that she remembered her grandfather's teachings in her heart and fought against the evil spirits with gritted teeth!

of course.

These are all fake. Shengsheng eats well and sleeps well. On weekends, he also goes boating, plays the piano, and repairs the garden, etc.

but.

When the soldiers heard this, they felt sympathy for Xia Li unconsciously. They thought that Xia Li had no choice but to live like this.

"Amazing! You are worthy of being the woman I like! With just a few words, you can charm everyone."

Jian Qing was also moved by Sheng Sheng's beauty when she was lying, and she wanted to hold her in her arms and love her as much as she wanted.

But what if the other party really convinced us at this moment?

Wouldn't that allow her to continue to be the Queen Mother in the palace? Qin Ying is not an easy person to deal with. She judged the other party by herself and was sure that the other party would definitely eat grass in her own backyard!

What about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? They are all just deceiving the world...

There are so many conflicts in the palace.

"The Empress Dowager had a miserable life, and we all sighed when we heard about it."

"but......"

Jian Qing pretended to sigh, because she had to cater to the mood of the soldiers of the three armies at the moment. Everyone was feeling sympathetic at this moment, and how could she be of one mind with the soldiers if she had a heart of stone?

So she sighed first, saying that she is also a good actor and her expressions are more genuine than anyone else's.

After expressing my feelings, the key point is the word "but".

"The state has national laws, and families have family rules."

"We cannot disregard the law and morality just because of the Queen Mother's tragic fate. If everyone does this, then who can the ministers who lost their families because of the Queen Mother's actions, and the people who were affected by the war... tell their sufferings to? Who can make up for the harm they have suffered?!"

During these last few questions, Jian Qing's voice gradually became higher.

She occupied the hearts of the people and with just a few words she awakened everyone from Shengsheng's charm, and their temporarily blinded minds became clear.

Chapter 175: The End of the Demon Queen

What Lord Jian said makes sense.

Isn't it?

You, Queen Mother Xia, have had a miserable life and suffered many misfortunes...but what you have done has caused us ordinary people to have a hard time living a good life, and many families have been broken up because of you.

Who should be held accountable for this?

therefore.

Although Xia Li was proven innocent by You Feng and was still a human being and not a demon, Jian Qing still seized the opportunity and forced him with the support of the people.

——Damn Jian Qing!

At this moment, Shengsheng was very angry.

Just when he was about to get away with it, that woman's righteous words kicked him back into the moral abyss.

The cruel and vicious things Li Rou did before... instigating the King of Qin to kill innocent people, persecute loyal officials, and neglect state affairs, etc. Her greatest evil was not this, but...

——Carry out the punishments of burning with fire and putting in a scorpion basin, and build the Wu Yutai, which is a waste of manpower and money!

The former can be said to have pioneered cruel punishments that were contrary to humanity and brought disaster to future generations.

The latter caused chaos in the world.

The common people were not well fed and clothed, and their lives became increasingly difficult. They could no longer endure the hardships and naturally began to rebel. As long as a small number of people rebelled, war would break out and order would collapse.

It will definitely affect the normal lives of other people in the entire region.

After Jian Qing finished speaking the truth, he added insult to injury and enumerated the crimes committed by Sheng Sheng in the sixteen years since she entered the palace, one by one, not to mention Qin Ying who wanted to refute on Sheng Sheng's behalf.

Even Youfeng didn't know how to help. She frowned and stared at Jian Qing, feeling very displeased with this woman.

"...Although it has caused many bad consequences, as the Queen Mother said, this was not her intention."

Rhythm master Jian Qing brought a wave of Shengsheng's rhythm, which made the soldiers of the three armies feel the same and the resentment in their hearts.

Suddenly he changed the subject and started speaking well of Shengsheng again.

It was probably what Shengsheng had just said. She was a weak woman and was innocent when she encountered such a thing. So it is true that a country has its own laws and a family has its own rules, but outside of the law there is nothing but human feelings...

The Empress Dowager is not someone who is unforgivable.

Therefore.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven!

"What happened today is because the King of Qin indulged in beauty and ruined the country. This beauty is the Queen Mother..."

Jian Qing said again.

Since the chaos in the world was caused by the fact that the Xia emperor spent his youth serving the king, and the people suffered greatly from war, chaos and heavy taxes, then if you have harmed the people of the world, you should compensate them.

"...I have read the ancient history. The Thirteenth Emperor of Qin favored a beautiful concubine and caused chaos in the government. Later, he reformed himself and sent the concubine to the Qin Pavilion in the Western Regions...As the saying goes, we should learn from history. If the ancients did this, why don't we follow the example of the ancients?"

Music hall.

It was built by Qin Erzu and was a court ritual and music institution of the Cuileng Dynasty.

It is specially used to play music during celebrations or to welcome distinguished guests. It has many musicians and musical instruments handed down from generation to generation, which is a magnificent sight.

However, in the past, after many families were ransacked, the young and beautiful women in the family would be exiled to the music hall.

Most of these people are daughters and nieces of ministers, wives and concubines of generals, etc. They have status and background, and are well-educated, well-versed in poetry and literature, and good at rituals and music...

Gradually.

The Qin Hall was no longer as noble as it was at the beginning. It not only performed the function of music, but also had other meanings.

——Serve!

Of course, it's a very formal one.

According to Shengsheng's understanding, it was like watching a solo concert. Who would perform today and who would perform tomorrow? Anyway, there was a lack of entertainment activities here, and most people in the Cui Leng Dynasty were focused on spiritual practice.

Only the rich and powerful can enjoy such a "concert"...

Take the many musical inns in Cui Lengjing for example, they have always been serving prominent officials, celebrities and powerful practitioners.

The guests coming and going have status and position.

Most of them are motivated by emotion but restrained by courtesy, and come here with the sole intention of appreciating the flowers, listening to the music and watching the beauties dancing.

but.

There are also some rare exceptions where people want to go a step further and push their limits. At this time, it is usually the women in the music hall who suffer... because at that time, they no longer have the noble status they once had.

A woman with no background or strength, but a beautiful appearance.

Isn't it natural for a duckweed leaf to be blown by the rain and wind and drift away?

So that's it.

This is also the fundamental reason why Shengsheng has always been pursuing power.

Back to the music hall, the music halls in Cui Lengjing actually followed the etiquette and rules. After all, they were at the foot of the royal city, so they couldn't be too presumptuous...

And what Jian Qing was talking about at this moment was——'Western Region Music Hall'.

There.

It would be a mess!

Because the emperor is far away, the music halls in the south, west and north regions all have their own set of entertainment activities.
