As time went on, my strength gradually ran out. I wasn't paying attention and my arm was cut by the sword. The pain made my whole body tremble. Who knew that I would be distracted for a moment and almost get stabbed in the chest by another sword!

Fortunately, Zheng Yan reacted quickly and quickly drew back his sword to block the sword that was stabbing me, but there was an open door behind him, and the other sword mercilessly stabbed into his shoulder!

I only heard a "puff" sound, and a trace of blood spurted onto my face. Zheng Yan staggered and almost fell to the ground.

As he fell, dozens of swords stabbed straight into his back. I gritted my teeth and used the last bit of my strength to swing the stick in a circle. I heard a series of "pa pa pa" sounds, and the dozens of swords were swung away. The palms of the dozen people were trembling because of me, and they couldn't help but step back a few steps.

The elite soldiers brought by the two princes of Xihe Kingdom just stood aside and watched the fun. They were afraid that they would be hit, so they stood far away to protect the two princes.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she kept scolding: "What's wrong with your people? I didn't invite you here to watch the fun."

The Second Prince smiled and said, "You only promised to give us a city, so we will do something worth a city. Transactions have always been like this, equal exchange, no one is cheated."

"You!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "I promise to give you two more cities as long as you help me ascend the throne."

When Concubine Liu, who was standing beside the Queen Mother and holding Zheng Bang's hand, heard this, her face changed and she immediately asked, "Queen Mother, you promised me that if I poisoned Your Majesty, you would help Bang'er ascend the throne and I would be the Queen Mother. Why do you want to ascend the throne now?"

The Queen Mother glared at Concubine Liu and said, "Is this the time to talk about this? More than half of my personal soldiers have been killed or injured. If we don't kill these two people, it will be difficult for you and me to escape, let alone ascend the throne."

Concubine Liu shook her head and said, "The more dangerous the moment, the clearer a person's true nature can be seen. You have no intention of letting Bang'er inherit the throne, right?"

The Queen Mother was furious. She slapped Concubine Liu hard and said, "You foolish woman, even if I ascended the throne, I would still benefit from you and your son. Now you dare to bargain with me. Do you think your life is too long?"

Liu Fei was slapped twice in a row, on the same side of the face, and she felt like her teeth were about to fall out.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had slapped his mother, Zheng Bang ignored etiquette and pushed the Queen Mother hard, saying, "You two come to bully my mother, I curse you to die a miserable death."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes in anger and pointed at Zheng Bang, saying, "Rebellion, rebellion, you bastard, actually dared to curse me to die a miserable death. Come, take them both down. I will deal with you two properly later."

Concubine Liu spat a mouthful of blood-foamed saliva at the Queen Mother, sneering, "You old bastard, you're pulling the plank out after crossing the bridge. My Bang'er is right, and I must curse you to die a miserable death!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she picked up the teacup and threw it at Concubine Liu.

While our two sides were fighting fiercely, the two princes of Xihe Kingdom were happy to stand aside and watch the fun, commenting in the language of Xihe Kingdom as if they were watching a play.

My strength was almost exhausted, and Zheng Yan and I were forced to retreat to the corner. Concubine Liu and Zheng Bang were also forced to kneel at the corner by their heads being pressed down by the Queen Mother's men.

I glanced at Zheng Bang who was kneeling beside me, wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth with my sleeve, and said, "Didn't I tell you to behave yourself? Why did you help your mother to poison His Majesty?"

When Zheng Bang heard my voice, he raised his head abruptly and asked cautiously, "Are you Ah Man?"

I nodded.

Zheng Bang burst into tears and said, "I didn't know what my mother had done. A few days ago, my father took me to see my mother, and he allowed me to stay in the cold palace with her for a few days. Who knew that someone came to tell me in the middle of the night that my mother should come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see my father? My mother packed up, woke me up from my deep sleep, and brought me here."

Zheng Yan lost too much blood and his face turned extremely pale. I lifted up my robe and tore off a piece of cloth, and bandaged Zheng Yan simply. While bandaging him, I said to Zheng Bang, "So you didn't know anything at all."

Zheng Bang cried so hard that his tears and snot came out. He looked at me and Zheng Yan with tears in his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Prince. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Before Zheng Yan could say anything, Concubine Liu pulled Zheng Bang and said, "Bang'er, from today on, you are not allowed to say sorry to anyone. They are the only ones who are sorry to us, and we are not sorry to anyone."

I rolled my eyes at Liu Fei and said, "Just shut up. Your son used to have a pretty positive outlook, but because of a delusional mother like you, he has fallen into this huge crisis. Now we can't survive. Are you happy?"

Liu Fei pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

We still had a chance to say a few words, because the Queen Mother had another dispute with the two princes of Xihe Kingdom and had no time to pay attention to us.

Zheng Bang glanced at Zheng Yan quietly for a few times, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Crown Prince, does your wound hurt a lot?"

Zheng Yan just said "hmm" and said nothing.

Zheng Bang wanted to say something, but the Second Prince of Xihe State, who was arguing with the Queen Mother, suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it hard into the Queen Mother's stomach!

I was so scared that my eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Are they fighting among themselves?

Zheng Bang was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground beside Concubine Liu, shouting, "Grandmother, you really cursed me to death."

Concubine Liu quickly covered Zheng Bang's mouth and shouted, "She deserves to die, she deserves to die!"

When the Queen Mother's personal soldiers saw that she had been stabbed, they rushed towards the Second Prince of Xihe Kingdom in shock and anger.

Only then did the elite soldiers of Xihe Kingdom draw their weapons - the scimitars unique to Xihe Kingdom. The scimitars were thin and sharp, and like a harvester, they continuously harvested the heads of the Queen Mother's personal soldiers.

Watching heads being cut off one by one and blood spurting everywhere, I couldn't help but turn around and vomit with a "vomit" sound!

The Queen Mother's personal soldiers who were originally guarding us, seeing their own people being beaten, quickly turned around and drew their swords to fight back.

While they were fighting, Zheng Yan struggled to stand up, pulled me up and ran away.

In my haste, I tried to pull Zheng Bang along with me, but he shook my hand away and said, "I can't leave my mother behind."

Since Zheng Bang refused to leave, we couldn't leave either.

The elite soldiers of Xihe Kingdom have surrounded us, holding their gleaming scimitars and approaching us step by step.

The wooden stick in my hand and Zheng Yan's sword were snatched away by the Queen Mother's personal soldiers, and I don't know where they went.

Zheng Yan's palms were sweaty as he held mine, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing.

I comforted Zheng Yan, "Don't be afraid. At least I'll be with you on your way to the underworld, so you won't be too lonely."
