The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

An eunuch walked down from the boat, hurriedly walked up to Chen Xu, and whispered a few words to him. Chen Xu raised his eyes to look at the empress dowager who was sitting on the deck with a dignified and graceful demeanor, his eyes were dark and unclear.

Then he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the eunuch in the chest.

The eunuch's expression froze, he struggled for a moment, and then died.

The people around who were originally preparing to meet the Queen Mother were shocked to see the Eastern Territory Governor suddenly kill someone. They screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

Chen Xu drew out his knife, blood dripping from the tip of the knife, and his expression was fierce. The Eastern Border Army behind him followed his movements and drew their bows, pointing directly at the Queen Mother on the imperial ship.

Seeing the sudden change, the Netherworld Guards on the boat immediately protected the Queen Mother.

A tall and mighty man wearing dark unicorn armor, a scarlet Rakshasa iron mask, holding a huge sword and exuding a chill walked out of the darkness and protected the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother stood behind the Nether Guards, her expression unchanged, as if she had already anticipated what Chen Xu was going to do. She supported Bai Lan, waved her hand, asked the Nether Guards to withdraw, and looked down at Chen Xu on the shore.

"Chen Xu, what are you going to do?" The Queen Mother asked him in a deep voice with no fear in her eyes.

Chen Xu looked at her coldly, no longer hiding the wildness and lust for power in his eyes. Sure enough, his daughter was not on the boat. The Queen Mother had originally promised not to take Sisi away, but on the day the Queen Mother left Qingzhou City, Sisi also disappeared. Except for the Queen Mother, no one could touch his daughter.

Chen Xu supported himself on the ground with his knife and looked at the Queen Mother with arrogance and contempt.

"Your humble servant greets the Queen Mother!"

"What should I do? Can't your majesty see? I have been guarding the East Territory for many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Now, only a few people have died, and your majesty wants to kill me. I will not accept it!"

"The scenery in the East is very beautiful. Please stay for a while, Your Majesty. There is no need to rush back to the capital!"

Chen Xu spoke arrogantly and looked arrogant. He raised the bloody blade and pointed it directly at the Queen Mother on the boat.

The Queen Mother looked at Chen Xu with a slightly cold expression. There were only a few thousand elite soldiers behind him, and Chen Xu really did not do as she said.

"Chen Xu! The blood letter written by hundreds of generals has entered the imperial capital. The fact that you colluded with the remnants of Nan Ji, killed loyal officials, and attempted rebellion is now known to the world! How dare you touch me!"

Chen Xu sneered but did not put down the knife in his hand.

"Chen Xu is grateful for your kindness, and I don't want to come to this point today, but all this today is forced upon me by you, Your Majesty!!"

"Where is my daughter now? You promised me not to do anything to Sisi, but you broke your promise first! You can't blame Chen Xu for this."

The Queen Mother stared at Chen Xu for a long time before she said in a cold voice:

"I have watched Sisi grow up since she was a child and I treat her as my own granddaughter. I will not do anything to her. If you don't do this today, I will naturally let you see her. But now, I have to reconsider."

Chen Xu's eyes flashed with worry, and his face darkened: "Oh? Really? Did the Queen Mother forget that I still have 200,000 troops in my hands, and Your Majesty is still in the East Territory! Your Majesty, are you really not afraid?"

The Queen Mother sneered and looked at Chen Xu as if she was watching another joke:

"Heh - 200,000 troops, Chen Xu, you dare to transfer all 200,000 troops to Liangjiang City? I have been in the Great Zhou for decades, and I have seen all kinds of storms. Do you think you can threaten me? Besides, can you really command those 200,000 troops?"

The Queen Mother smiled as she looked at Chen Xu standing on the ferry. He brought only a few thousand elite soldiers with him. As far as she knew, there were only Chen Xu's 30,000 soldiers of the Chen family army outside Liangjiang City. Apart from them, there was no other army. How could he dare to speak so arrogantly in front of her?

She glanced at the evil red-faced man beside her and said, "Dark ghost, do it!"

The man wearing Qilin armor and a Rakshasa mask is the leader of the Netherworld Guards, the Netherworld Envoy - Rakshasa Angui.

He did not speak, but glanced at the Queen Mother, nodded, and then released a whistling arrow towards the shore.

As the arrows sounded, the Netherworld Guards hiding in the city rushed out in droves and poured towards the ferry, trapping Chen Xu and his men in the center.

The knives were pointed at each other, the situation became tense and the atmosphere became stiff. No one dared to move.

Chen Xu stood in the center, looking coldly at the Netherworld Guards who suddenly appeared, his eyes were deep. What he wanted was to lure out these Netherworld Guards hiding in the dark.

The Queen Mother looked at Chen Xu and saw that he did not move, as if he was waiting for something.

"Chen Xu, I have warned you and given you a chance! Don't blame me for being ruthless now!"

"I forgot to tell you that your 30,000 Chen family soldiers may not be able to come. Don't fight back, I can keep your body intact."

Chen Xu glanced at the Netherworld Guards around him, looked up to the sky and laughed with an arrogant expression.

"My queen, I have been the governor of the East Territory for more than ten years. Do you really think I don't know everything you have done in my army? If I don't speak up today, you will not be able to leave Liangjiang City."

The Queen Mother's expression froze, and she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked towards the streets and alleys not far from the shore, and the originally bustling streets suddenly became eerily quiet.

Obviously, the scene just now was arranged in advance. Chen Xu had already done everything and was waiting for her to jump.

Suddenly, the shocking sound of armored troops marching came from the empty and quiet Liangjiang City, gradually approaching. A blue military flag slowly appeared in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

It's the 30,000 Chen family soldiers!!

The Queen Mother looked at the army filling the alley with a solemn expression.

"Dark Ghost, are you confident that the Nether Guards can fight against these 30,000 soldiers?"

The red-faced man looked up at the army under the boat:

"If we only have these 30,000, both sides will suffer losses, but we can barely ensure that the queen can leave Liangjiang City."

The man's voice was old and hoarse, harsh and scary, and there seemed to be no emotion in his words.

After hearing his words, the Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and the people on the boat could not guess her plan.

After a long while, he asked:

"How long will it take for the Jing'an Army to reach Liangjiang City?"

"Two days." The dark ghost replied.

The Queen Mother's expression became more serious. She had taken a wrong step and underestimated Chen Xu's ambition and ability.

Bai Lan, who was standing by, saw that the Queen Mother seemed reluctant to leave, so she advised:

"Your Majesty, Chen Xu has given up hope now. Who knows what he will do. Your Majesty's safety is the most important!"

The Queen Mother shook her head. The Nether Guard and Chen Xu both suffered losses. This was not what she wanted. Even if the Eastern Territory Navy could not be saved, the Nether Guard could not be harmed.

These 30,000 Chen family soldiers are all Chen Xu's personal troops, but the 170,000 troops are the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Even if Chen Xu wanted to rebel, the 170,000 troops might not listen to him.

"Chen Xu! Don't you want to see Sisi? If I can't leave Liangjiang City today, you will receive your daughter's body by tomorrow."

Chen Xu tightened his grip on the knife, but his expression remained unchanged. The Queen Mother knew his weakness, and she knew she didn't dare to take risks with Sisi.

"I have come this far and can no longer care about so many things. Sisi, just think that I, as a father, have let her down!"

He did not step back, but looked at the Queen Mother and spoke in a deep voice.

The Queen Mother raised her lips slightly, Chen Xu was lying to her.

"Chen Xu, your 30,000 personal guards will not gain any benefit if they fight against my Netherworld Guards. Why don't you and I both take a step back? You let your soldiers withdraw from the city, and I won't get off the boat. Send someone to bring Sisi to you. Then you can decide whether to let me leave the city. How do you think?"

Seeing that Chen Xu remained silent, she spoke again:

"Chen Xu, the army of the Imperial Capital will arrive at Liangjiang City in less than three days. You must think carefully."

Chen Xu glanced at the Netherworld Guards around him. He was not sure he could defeat them. He had come to this point and had not thought about living. He just wanted to send Sisi out of this place of trouble and never come back. This was the only way to save her life. The Queen Mother was always treacherous and he could not trust her.

"Let's each take a step back. Please don't go back on your words again, Queen Mother."

Chen Xu put down the knife in his hand and shouted to the Queen Mother.

Then he raised his arms and shouted, "Retreat!"

At his command, the 30,000-strong army retreated from the city.

The Netherworld Guards that surrounded Chen Xu also withdrew and stood in front of the imperial ship to protect it.

Chen Xu glanced at the Queen Mother on the tall ship and said coldly:

"I only gave the Queen Mother two hours. If you don't see her after two hours, you can't blame Chen Xu."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the teahouse on the ferry shore.

The Queen Mother looked serious and said to Bai Lan, "You go out of the city in person and bring Chen Sisi back."

"Yes."

Bai Lan's expression became serious and he bowed his head to accept the order.

Then he got off the boat and rode out of the city.

When she left Qingzhou the day before, she was afraid that something might happen, so she took Chen Sisi with her and asked someone to take her by another route.

If she hadn't left Liangjiang City today, Chen Sisi would have died.

Chen Xu sat in the teahouse at the ferry, staring at the Queen Mother all the time, and quickly an hour passed.

The Queen Mother was protected by the Netherworld Guards. She took a sip of the tea handed to her by Shen Zhiyi with an indifferent expression.

He saw a general hurriedly walking into the teahouse opposite. He said something to Chen Xu, which made Chen Xu's expression change.
