After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women
Chapter 244: Uncertain of Victory
“How dare you say that? If it wasn’t for the Queen Mother who captured my mother at that time, how could I have given up…” Thinking of this, Princess Minghua became furious.
At that time, she had just been assigned by her father to go to Yanmen Pass to reward the troops.
Before he even left, he received news that his mother was kept in Lizheng Hall by the Queen and had not come out for a long time.
But the palace gate was closed, and even though she was extremely anxious, she could only wait outside the palace.
After finally making it to dawn, he hurried into the palace and saw Nanny Lai, who had been pinned to a bench by the eunuchs and beaten to a bloody mess, with her life or death unknown.
Nanny Lai is the closest person to my mother in the palace. If something happens to her, she will definitely protect my mother as long as she is fine.
But when she went to Lizheng Hall to ask for an audience, the empress touched the jade bracelet on her hand and said leisurely that she had never seen her mother.
But she clearly heard the sound of her mother reciting scriptures in the inner room with a hoarse voice and sobbing.
She knew what the Queen wanted, so she immediately pulled out the hairpin on her head and cut the tendons of her right hand to show her withdrawal. She knelt for a long time before she saw her mother being released.
That was the most unforgettable day of her life. She would always remember the look in the queen's eyes when she looked at her.
Afterwards, she asked for resignation from her father, saying that she had broken her leg and could not go to Yanmen Pass to reward the troops.
You also have to cover the wound so that no one can see it.
"How is that possible? Queen Mother has always been the kindest person. She always tells us to get along well with our brothers and sisters." Princess Yucheng took a step forward in disbelief.
Then he was immediately pulled back by Huang Yanchu.
"Kind? This is a huge joke, Yucheng. You also grew up in the palace, how could you believe it?
Your mother is the most hypocritical. She pretends to be gentle all year round, flattering the princes and princesses, giving them food, beauties, and all kinds of toys, letting them indulge in pleasure.
People like me, when they fail to win us over, use tricks that are unreasonable and helpless to make us surrender." Princess Minghua said with a sneer.
He pulled open the long sleeves that he had worn tightly all year round, revealing the hideous scar on his right wrist.
In fact, her hand tendons were reconnected years ago, but the pain in her heart will always be there.
"Imperial sister, I'm sorry, I..." Princess Yucheng was a little sad.
She didn't know that her sister had suffered these things. No wonder she couldn't find out. It turned out that it was her mother who did it.
"There's no need for that. Didn't you get fooled by her into giving up the throne to the emperor?" In her opinion, Yucheng was not much better off than herself.
It's just that the methods used are different.
"No, I don't want to read memorials all day long. Besides, as an emperor I can't travel far." At least as a princess, she can go wherever she wants.
As an emperor, even if it was a hunting trip ordered by his ancestors, he had to discuss it with his ministers again and again before setting out in a grand manner.
Let alone going out to play, it's simply impossible.
Back then, if her mother had not insisted that she return to the palace, perhaps she would still be wandering around the world without worries.
"Alright, no need to pretend. Use whatever tricks you have. We have plenty of people to take them on." Princess Minghua pointed to the massive army behind her.
"Does it have to be like this?" After learning the truth of that year, Princess Yucheng couldn't help but want to turn things around.
"I have done everything I could and couldn't do. At this point, there is no way out for you and me.
Or, you step back, and I’ll spare your life for the sake of our childhood friendship!" Princess Minghua said, with a playful smile on her face.
Now she is no longer the underage princess who could only beg for mercy with her tail between her legs.
As long as she wins today, she will be the emperor who rules the world!
"Azhe has governed the country very well, and now the world is peaceful. Sister, I don't want to and cannot retreat. The people cannot stand turmoil."
Princess Yucheng said this as she held her belly and retreated behind the Twelve Guards.
She had already seen the gesture Ling Qi made to her from the tree diagonally opposite.
The eldest prince and Gao Chongwen were pretending to be defeated. They had now assembled their troops and were moving towards this side from several other gates.
Although there were many people behind Princess Minghua, they were limited by the narrow streets. What was the use of having more people unable to pass through?
The reason why she said so much to Princess Minghua was because she really wanted to open up to her.
It's more to delay time.
Now they are about to encircle them, and the experts who are going to assassinate the commander of the Beijing Guard Camp are already in place, only the timing is missing.
A moment!
Two quarters!
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment. With an inaudible sound of a bowstring, both sides immediately started fighting.
The shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
Princess Yucheng and Princess Minghua stared at each other across the shadows of swords and spears and the broken limbs and arms all over the ground.
There seems to be everything in his eyes, and yet nothing.
"Princess, please get out of the way." After Huang Yanchu once again blocked a stray arrow for his beloved, he finally couldn't help but persuade her.
The broken swords and arrows on the battlefield were numerous and chaotic, and could fly over at any time.
Although he could block it, he didn't want to take the risk.
"Something is wrong. Logically, if the assassination fails once, he will attack again. Why is there no movement?" Princess Yucheng did not refuse this time.
While walking towards the palace gate, he analyzed the matter with Huang Yanchu.
"Maybe they were intercepted by the people on the other side." Princess Minghua had surprised them since the beginning.
Maybe he has secretly trained more experts.
"Maybe. It's hard to tell who will win today." If it weren't for those unexpected events, Princess Yucheng would not be afraid at all.
But no one expected that the commander of the Beijing Guard Camp would rebel.
The emperor had previously deliberately demoted the eldest prince to the Beijing Guard Camp, although he reacted in time.
But he was only a sixth-rank Zhaowu captain, and the number of people he could lead was limited. Even if Gao Chongwen and others were willing to follow him in the fight, the number of people would still not be enough.
What's more, except for King Changning who was captured by Ling Qi, the trace of other alien races who escaped the net has not been found so far, and these are all variables.
"Ah! There's a snake!" At some point, the sound of swords and spears colliding was mixed with a thin, long, and faintly resentful flute sound.
By the time they noticed, the surrounding trees, eaves, and cracks in the bricks and stones were already crawling with all kinds of snakes and insects.
It is not afraid of people and will bite anyone it catches.
This made the soldiers, who were already struggling to resist, even more flustered.
"Are they from Nanzhao?" Princess Yucheng frowned and looked around.
She had some knowledge of the customs of Nanzhao when she was wandering around the world, and she knew that the person who cast the spell must be nearby.
So, after searching carefully for a while, she directly took the bow and arrow from the guard beside her.
Facing the figure hiding in the corner diagonally opposite, wearing unusually complicated and strange clothes, he slowly pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow.
Bang! He was shot right through!
Immediately, as the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, the snakes and insects that had suddenly appeared disappeared without a trace like the tide.
