Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The prince walked to the corner without stopping, his tears no longer under control and flowing unrestrainedly.

Every time he mentioned the parrot, his mother would remind him not to waste his time on it. Every time he said he could judge people well, his mother would remind him that people's hearts are hidden.

Why did the Queen Mother suddenly stop talking about him?

Talk about him as usual!

He could still throw a tantrum, then think it through himself and ask his mother for forgiveness.

He knelt on the ground exhausted, his eyes empty and desolate.

His grandfather died and his mother was about to leave him. The culprit behind all this was his father.

There was nothing he could do.

The afterglow of the setting sun could not reach the corner, and he was shrouded in deep darkness.

"Stop crying." Shen Xingxi walked up to the prince, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"If you want your mother to live, listen to me."

The prince stared at Mr. Shen blankly for a moment, then nodded repeatedly as if he had found a life-saving straw.

In front of the prince, Shen Xingxi disguised himself as one of the prince's personal eunuchs, Eunuch Sun, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Hurry up and find a reason to take me to your mother's bedroom, and then find a way to drive everyone away."

The prince wiped his tears, not caring about the human skin mask, and hurried back to Kunning Palace.

He couldn't think of a reason at all, but he knew he could break into his mother's bedroom.

The queen looked at the white silk, poisoned wine and dagger in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and put her hand on the poisoned wine.

I didn't expect the prince to just push the palace door open.

She subconsciously hid her hands behind her back, then slowly put them down, pretending to be uneasy and asked, "Prince, what have you forgotten? Take it and leave quickly."

The prince knelt before Eunuch Xu who was carrying a tray. "Eunuch Xu, can you please let me and my mother talk alone for a while? Please..."

"Your Highness, you can't do this." Eunuch Xu hurriedly took a step to the side.

The prince was afraid that Eunuch Xu would refuse, so he knocked his head on the ground, breaking his skin and bleeding.

Eunuch Xu sighed, picked up the tray with three things and walked to the outer room, "Prince, I don't have much time, please consider me."

"Thank you, Eunuch Xu." When the prince saw the palace door closed, he immediately looked at Mr. Shen.

Shen Xingxi walked to the Queen's side and asked in a low voice, "Can Her Majesty find someone to die for you?"

The queen looked deeply at the little eunuch in front of her, then looked at the prince whose eyes were full of hope, and finally nodded and pointed out the window.

He immediately began to scold the prince.

The prince didn't know how to respond, and used all his brain cells to repeatedly shout: "Mother, I can't bear to leave you!"

Shen Xingxi opened the window and looked at the nanny who was about the same size as the queen, with admiration in her eyes.

Talking to smart people saves trouble.

She whispered, "The Queen has something to tell you. Please come in through the window, Madam."

The nanny first looked around, then tiptoed into the bedroom.

Shen Xingxi first sought the nanny's opinion, then disguised her into the appearance of the queen, and then disguised the queen into the appearance of eunuch Sun, while she changed her appearance into that of an ordinary nanny.

The three of them changed their clothes, and Shen Xingxi told the fake queen: "In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, it is best to leave in front of the emperor."

He immediately flipped out of the window.

She had done everything she could, and the rest of the show was left to the three people in the room.

inside the house.

The maid smiled and comforted the queen, "I originally wanted to watch the burial of the queen and then commit suicide, but it's too early now.

Madam, there is a corpse in the cold palace well, which can replace the servant who suddenly disappeared if necessary."

"Don't worry, Ma'am. Your family will be wealthy for the rest of their lives." The Queen tried hard not to let her tears fall.

The nanny suddenly imitated the Queen's voice and shouted, "Prince, what's the point of crying like that? Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

"Someone, drag the prince out!"

The prince was dragged away crying. Only the nanny was left in the room, looking calmly at the plate held by Eunuch Xu.

This was her first time using a human skin mask and she had no idea how long it would last on her face.

She was afraid that her secret would be exposed and the queen would fall into danger again.

She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then chuckled, "Eunuch Xu, could you please ask the emperor to come over?

I want to see the Emperor one last time before I die."

When the emperor received the news, he wanted to refuse, but he agreed when the words came to his lips.

He didn't know that the queen had been impersonated by someone, and the nanny pretending to be the queen stood up and poured kerosene on her face, threw the clothes in the closet on the ground and sat on them.

When he opened the door, he saw the queen lighting the tinder and laughing crazily.

"Your Majesty, I am still unwilling to give up! Then I will use this special way to make Your Majesty never forget it."

She threw the fire starter onto her clothes and the fire dragon instantly swallowed her up. The human skin mask was buried in the sea of ​​fire along with her.

On the other hand, after the prince was dragged away, he seemed to have completely given up. He ran back crying with "Eunuch Sun".

Shen Xingxi met the prince in the toilet and ordered him immediately: "Prince, go to the emperor and ask him to release the maids who serve the queen from the palace on the pretext of fulfilling the queen's last wish. If the emperor agrees, you will take people to do this immediately.

Someone might take this opportunity to leave the palace, so don't make things complicated and send them out directly."

The prince nodded, fully trusting Mr. Shen, "Then I'll leave my mother to Mr. Shen. I'll go find my father right away."

Instead, the Queen looked at Mr. Shen inquiringly: "Rescue people in the chaos?"

"The queen is smart." Shen Xingxi did not hide it.

The Chen family was executed along with all nine clans, so naturally, Guard Chen's status could no longer be preserved, and those palace maids who "relied on" Guard Chen were also easily affected.

Ever since she knew that the emperor was going to hold a birthday banquet, she discussed a rescue plan with Xinghuo and others.

Almost all situations were discussed.

For example, if there is no candidate to replace the queen, she will simply give up the queen.

For example, if the nanny did not see the emperor for the last time, the palace maids would be hidden and taken away at night.

For example, in order to prevent the human skin mask from being discovered by the emperor and exposing Princess Yun, Xingyin had been watching in the dark, waiting for the right moment to set fire to the corpse...

Shen Xingxi smiled at the queen and said, "The Crown Prince has helped me, so I will of course ensure your safety. Please follow me and leave the palace secretly, Queen."

She looked towards the first toilet, "If Mr. Yun doesn't want to arouse suspicion, just stay in the toilet for a while."

Prince Yun looked helpless, in fact he didn't want to save the queen.

But if the princess wants to be saved, there is also the system.

The system directly told the princess his location, and the princess gave him a laxative, and he was forced to go to the toilet.

I could only respond with a muffled "hmm".

The queen's expression was indescribable. She really didn't expect that there was someone pooping in the toilet.

Shen Xingxi disguised the queen as Yun Jingce, and because of the height difference, she also made the queen walk on stilts.

She ordered with some concern: "If you can't stand steadily, fall on me. Everyone in the East Palace knows that Mr. Yun and I have an affair."

The veins on the queen's forehead twitched, but she couldn't say anything. She just said "hmm" lightly.

Everything was ready. Shen Xingxi took the queen out of the palace and did his job openly. He didn't mention any tricks that he used during the process.

-

Ever since Shen Xingxi rescued the palace maids, Xingyue has been pretending to be Guard Chen to get along with the palace maids.

After hearing that Minister Chen and his entire clan were executed, he hid himself immediately, and then took advantage of the chaos in the palace to gather the palace maids together.

After receiving the news from the boss, he immediately asked: "You also know that the Chen family was executed. I can't escape this time. I can only ask the nanny beside the queen to find a way to send you out of the palace and find a place to settle you. Whoever is willing to leave can go to Kunning Palace immediately and pretend to be a palace maid. This is all I can do."

He stood up and said, "Don't worry about me. I can only escape with peace of mind if you are safe."

The palace maids expressed their opinions one after another and quietly sneaked into Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was in chaos at this time, and no one cared whether there were more people.

The emperor's mind was now filled with the image of the queen resolutely committing suicide in the sea of ​​fire. He threw all the objects in the Qiankun Palace to the ground in annoyance.

The prince ran to the Qiankun Palace, kowtowed and cried, "Father, please fulfill my mother's last wish! Let the maids in my mother's palace leave."

The emperor stopped what he was doing, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Since the prince has requested mercy, I agree, but you cannot stay in the capital."

Seeing the prince thanking him and leaving, he looked at Eunuch Xu and said, "Arrange a team of men to kill them after they leave the capital."

Xingyue followed the plan, put on a human skin mask, took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Kunning Palace, and followed the palace maids out of the palace.

The prince was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict, so he could only send the palace maids from his mother's palace to the city gate.

When Xingyue saw that she was out of the prince's sight, her whole body tensed up.

The eldest brother said that it was very unlikely that the emperor would let these palace maids go, and the hope for survival lay with the prince.

In order to conquer the power of the Chen family, the emperor will maintain a superficial father-son relationship with the prince.

However, once out of the prince's sight, especially if the emperor takes the initiative to facilitate it, he will be in danger.

The most troublesome thing is that the emperor has secret guards under his command who are highly skilled in martial arts and will not stop until they complete the emperor's orders.

In other words, the killing of them will not stop until they are confirmed dead.
