The emperor covered his face, and his first reaction was anger!

He is the emperor, even the empress dowager cannot hit him!

But the next second, he suddenly came to his senses - yes, the attack is about to reach Shengjing, if he doesn't run away now, does he have to wait until he is caught before running away?

At that time, how could he possibly run away?

The mother and son looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. Just like all these years, they depended on each other, and every time they faced life and death, they stood together to get to where they are today.

The emperor believed that the queen mother was sincere at this moment, otherwise, she could have abandoned him and walked away.

"There is a secret passage in this palace that can only be opened by members of the royal family. Lu Hua told me about it before." The expression on Zhuang Mi's face was very complicated. When she mentioned her old friend at this time, she felt mixed emotions for a moment.

if……

Forget it, there are not so many ifs. The only thing she can do is to protect herself!

The emperor nodded. He knew about this matter and subconsciously asked, "Mother, what should we do now?"

There was a ruthless look in Zhuang Mi's eyes. "Go back and pack your things immediately. From now on, I am not your queen mother, and you are not the emperor. After we leave here, we are just two refugees who know nothing!"

She specifically instructed the emperor to take more valuable things. Although some things were easy to trace, once the situation became chaotic, who would care about you so much?

Anyway, as long as they have money, their lives will be better in the future.

"Okay, I see."

After the emperor figured it out, he acted quickly. He first had his private vault opened, saying that he wanted to check it himself in preparation for war.

Those who were well-informed thought that the emperor had changed his mind and was determined to fight with all his strength, and their confidence was instantly boosted.

Even Prime Minister Qin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that at the last moment, the emperor would still have the courage to fight to the death!

Everyone was encouraged by the news, but after Shen Ruoyan received the news from the spy, she smiled slightly and said, "Get ready, I want to go to the palace."

It is obviously impossible to enter the palace at this time.

But Shen Ruoyan naturally wouldn't do that and walked in through the palace gate openly.

At this time, in the dark secret passage, the emperor held a torch and groped carefully in front. Zhuang Mi followed behind him with large and small bags, holding the packages in her hands tightly.

"How far is it?" Zhuang Mi felt a little nervous. She deliberately dismissed her attendants and did not even bring her trusted aides, for fear that the news would leak out.

So at this time, there were only her and the emperor in the secret passage.

It was pitch black, with one's hand invisible in front of one's face. The only source of light was the torch in the emperor's hand.

This made Zhuang Mi feel very insecure, and she wanted to get out of here immediately!

"Soon, soon." The emperor said, but he was actually not sure in his heart.

He had never walked through this secret passage before, and had only heard Empress Dowager Dezhuang mention it before. Now he walked in without making any preparations, and he had no choice but to do so.

But his own mother kept urging him, which made him feel really annoyed.

"Wait a minute!" Zhuang Mi suddenly spoke up and stopped the emperor. "What's that noise ahead?"

The emperor was a little impatient at first, but when he listened carefully, there seemed to be a sound in front of him. He subconsciously felt happy, "Is it the sound outside the secret passage?"

Zhuang Mi shook his head, "Not really."

There was a rustling sound, not like the sound of water, nor like the sound of human footsteps...Cold sweat suddenly climbed up her back, and Zhuang Mi's hands began to tremble, "Son, is it, is it..."

The emperor also stepped back. He stared ahead nervously, but could see nothing.

The sound, like an animal crawling on the ground, became clearer and clearer. The emperor was sweating profusely on his hands and didn't even notice that he had stepped on Zhuang Mi's foot!

"I, Zhuang Mi, voluntarily become Lu Hua's sister. We will share weal and woe, support each other, and never betray each other! If you break this oath, you will die a miserable death with thousands of snakes piercing your heart!"

"Mother, when I become the emperor in the future, I will love the people like my own children and protect Dasheng. If I can't do that, I will die without a burial place!"

"Mother, you raised me all by yourself. I will definitely treat you well in the future, better than my own mother! You must take good care of yourself. When I become the emperor, I will honor you well!"

There was a ventriloquist in the capital who was said to be able to imitate human voices to a perfect similarity.

At this time, the words that Zhuang Mi and the emperor had said to Lu Hua continued to echo in the secret passage.

At the same time, the lights on both sides of the secret passage were all lit up!

Under the blazing flames, they finally saw clearly what was before them—snakes! All snakes!

"Snake! It's a snake!"

"Run! Run!"

Zhuang Mi and the emperor wanted to turn back, but, at some point, the road behind them was blocked, filled with snakes!

These snakes seemed to have intelligence. They just looked at them quietly, as if they were waiting for something.

The emperor's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's over, it must be our mother who has come to seek revenge on us...it must be her!"

"What nonsense!" Zhuang Mi was so angry that she kicked him directly, "You useless bastard, Lu Hua is dead! He died a long time ago!"

It was they, mother and son, who killed Lu Hua with their own hands!

What ghosts and monsters, they are all lies, Lu Hua has been dead for a long time!

died!

"Zhuang Mi, I believe I have devoted my heart and soul to you and your son, but why do you repay me with hatred and make me die a miserable death?"

This is the deepest question in Lu Hua's heart.

If she had ever betrayed Zhuang Mi and her son, then all of this should be her retribution.

But, she tried her best to support them and their son to the top, but why did she end up like this? !

She is unwilling!

Unwilling!

"It's your fault that you're too powerful! Everyone has to listen to you. You're suppressing us, mother and son, so much that we can't breathe. How can we ever get out of this situation?" Perhaps knowing that his fate was already decided, Zhuang Mi calmed down.

Compared to the emperor who had almost lost his mind on the ground, she was indeed admirable.

"Lu Hua! Even if you turn into a ghost, I'm not afraid!"

"Aren't you very powerful? You think everyone is under your control. Now I will let you see that I am not! I was not before, I will not be in the future, even if I die, I will not be like this!"

She had been competing with Lu Hua all her life. She was competing with him when she was a concubine and she was still competing with him when she was the empress dowager. But the hateful thing was that Lu Hua never compared with her from beginning to end!

In Lu Hua's heart, he is not even an opponent!

Why? !

She was also the woman of the late emperor, the mother of the emperor. Why did Lu Hua always treat her with such a self-righteous look? !

She just wanted to let Lu Hua know that an ant can also kill an elephant!

"Mother, I was wrong, my son was wrong, my son was wrong!" The emperor suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the group of snakes. He thought Lu Hua's ghost was there!

"Please forgive me. My mother told me to do all these things. It wasn't me. It really wasn't me!" He cried miserably, without any dignity of an emperor. He wanted to kowtow to the snakes directly. "Mother, please let me go! Let me go!"

"A useless fool!" Zhuang Mi was furious. How could she give birth to such a useless thing!

Shen Ruoyan watched coldly from behind. Zhuang Mi was still shouting at her to come out if she had the guts. Even if she turned into a ghost, she would still compete with her...

"Jealousy makes people lose their minds. There is no reason at all. I thought she would wake up when she was about to die. It's ridiculous."

She turned around and walked out slowly.

The snakes behind them seemed to have received some kind of instruction and slowly crawled towards Zhuang Mi and her son...

Soon, screams rang out one after another. Behind Shen Ruoyan was endless darkness, but in front of her was a bright light!

Before Meng Su's army reached Shengjing, it was intercepted by the King of Huainan and the rebel army.

Emperor Mengsu thought he had the real defense map, and despite all the advice, he was determined to take down Dasheng. However, at the last moment, he was caught in a trap!

At the beginning, Shen Ruoyan told Prime Minister Qin that he would use the defense map to stir up internal strife within Meng Su.

But the method is not the same as before.

She would never make the same mistake again, and she would be on guard against even Prime Minister Qin.

Therefore, the initial verification made Emperor Mengsu completely believe in the authenticity of the defense map, and he led his army south, ready to take down Dasheng in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, the King of Huainan and the rebel army joined forces in advance according to the original plan, ambushed the army of Meng Su on the route they had to take, and completely counterattacked!

The reason why the rebel army was able to rise so quickly was because the King of Huainan sent people to support them.

They staged a play and successfully deceived everyone, and Shen Ruoyan was the liaison in the middle and knew everything.

The emperor and the empress dowager were found in a secret passage, having committed suicide.

He left behind an imperial edict, saying that he was without virtue and unworthy of being an emperor. He abdicated the throne to the King of Huainan, and died without regrets.

After the King of Huainan ascended the throne, the Changning Marquisate had the merit of following the king, and for a time, it became a rising star in Shengjing.

Lu Yan is extremely busy every day, and the new crown prince, Song Huainan, often visits him, which makes him helpless and amused.

Shen Ruoyan lay in a recliner, looking at the newly blooming osmanthus flowers in the yard, immersed in the refreshing fragrance of the flowers.

Everything finally returned to the original point.

The mountains and rivers are safe.

The criminal has been executed.

Her mission was accomplished, and she had no regrets in the future.

Madam Lu's Buddhist temple was demolished, and another one was added to Shen Ruoyan's house.

"I was a guest who never returned home, but because of the wine, I stayed in the world."
