Quick Wear: The Crazy Lord God is again training the sweet host
Chapter 171 The Delicate Little Emperor Is So Unruly (52)
I don't know when the falling snow in the night sky has turned into heavy snow flakes.
The faint light from the red lantern pierced into the eyes of several people like a needle through the falling snow.
Behind them, several more red lanterns came slowly.
No one speaks.
The six people in the corridor drew their swords silently.
The little leader rushed towards the lantern in front first.
The sound of swords clashing rang out.
The night originally enveloped the earth, but the outlines of all things were illuminated by the vast white snow.
Snow is falling heavily.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The hissing sound of the knife tip piercing flesh and blood rang out in the silent and cold night, like a frosty sword pressed against the heart, which could freeze a person completely.
There was a heavy sound of the corpse falling.
The body, without any warmth, was soon covered by a thin layer of falling snow.
After dealing with the six people, the secret guards who blended silently into the darkness picked up the red lanterns in their hands, lined up at the side of the corridor, and waited with their heads down.
Light soon came from the other end of the corridor.
Queen Mother Zhao sat on the sedan chair, her face as cold as the coldest days of winter, so chilly that it could freeze everything.
As she passed by the six corpses, she lowered her eyes and glanced at them indifferently.
When the military intelligence came, Xing Chen had told her everything he needed to tell.
She already knew everything, including how Xiao Xian of Xiyuan Palace colluded with spies from Liang State, what the current situation was in the Southern Xinjiang Army, and how Wen Luo had faked his death.
She was just surprised at Wen Luo's cooperation, but when she thought about the involvement of Liang State, it seemed not so surprising.
Xing Chen always gives her surprises.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Xiyuan Palace. Queen Dowager Zhao held the hand of her maid and slowly walked to the gate.
The secret guard in black knocked on the door five times, two lightly and three quickly.
Someone inside the door responded quickly and opened it soon.
The old maid opened the door again. When she suddenly saw Queen Mother Zhao, she quickly closed the door again and turned around and shouted behind her:
"Master, run, run..."
The knife that the secret guard inserted through the crack in the door hit her heart, stopping her screams abruptly.
The door was kicked open.
The secret guard easily pulled the knife out of her body, without even looking at her, and kicked her aside.
When Xiao Xian and Su He heard the shouting, they knew something had happened. They ran two steps when they heard some noise and turned around to see Queen Dowager Zhao outside the door.
Xiao Xian stopped.
Su He urged hurriedly: "Master, run, run!"
"Leave?" Xiao Xian sneered, speaking to Su He, but his eyes were looking viciously at Queen Mother Zhao outside the door, "Where else can we go? We can't leave."
Queen Dowager Zhao stepped over the threshold, and her maid held an oil-paper umbrella over her head. She walked towards Xiao Xian step by step, stepping on the snow on the wasteland of Xiyuan Palace.
Standing in front of Xiao Xian, she brushed away the oil-paper umbrella in the maid's hand, raised her head and slowly looked towards the old palace and walls of Xiyuan Palace.
"Do you think that everyone who lives here can leave safely?"
There was an unspeakable bitterness and a piercing hatred in Queen Mother Zhao's voice.
Xiao Xian glanced at her up and down with a frivolous look.
"When the Empress Dowager crawled out of here, you must have suffered a lot, right? My blind father, the Emperor, didn't even mind that you were dirty, and he even let you climb back onto the dragon bed."
Queen Mother Zhao slowly withdrew her gaze from the palaces, suddenly closed her eyes and laughed out loud.
The laughter was ugly and crazy, a huge irony.
"I'm dirty? Then why don't you think about who is the dirtiest person in this huge palace?"
"Why, do you think that only women can be dirty, and that men will always be clean no matter how many women they sleep with?"
"I'm dirty, and I'm a perfect match for your father!"
She was actually naturally charming, but in the following years, she deliberately concealed this trait with a dignified expression and voice.
But whenever he speaks in a drawn-out tone, I can always hear some clues.
Xiao Xian looked at her as if she were the lowest kind of prostitute.
"Your Majesty, you are so shameless as always!"
"Can you live with dignity? Xiao Xian, if I promise you, as long as you crawl out from here like a dog barking and crawl under the crotches of everyone outside the door, I will let you go. Will you crawl?"
"You think everyone is like you!"
"It's no use being tough. You have to know that the chance to live shamelessly in a desperate situation is something you have to fight for. And you don't even deserve the chance to crawl out like a dog barking."
Xiao Xian spat at the snow beside him.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You can kill me or chop me up as you please!"
"You are really brave," Queen Mother Zhao sneered, "I wasted all my efforts back then."
"Bitterness? Don't you think I'm disgusted enough?"
"I chose to lock you up here so that this place would always remind you that you are paying your debt and should not have any other thoughts."
Xiao Xian taunted: "Then you should have killed me before."
Queen Dowager Zhao looked up at the falling snow in the sky with a distant look in her eyes.
It’s like looking through the falling snow at a scene that happened many years ago.
"Twenty years ago, it was almost as cold as this. I had just finished my confinement and Shen'er was still in swaddling clothes. You were still a child at that time, and you were taught to be very mature. You looked down on me at such a young age.
But when you see little Shen'er, you can't help but touch his face and make smacking sounds to amuse him.
You also sent a lot of toys to Shen'er without your mother's knowledge.
I can't forget all this. I always feel that you were innocent originally, but were dragged to that position by the love, hatred and vengeance of the elders and stood on the opposite side of me.
I want to reconcile with myself and give you a chance, so I sent you here."
"Do you think I will be grateful to you for sending me here?"
"So I was so wrong! I knew what life was like in the cold palace, so I left you with the nanny you were most familiar with to take care of you, and asked you to bring the beautiful maid who had just come of age from the East Palace with you.
Even the food, clothing and daily expenses are just ordinary, but you still feel so wronged, Xiao Xian, where do you get the face to do that? "
When Su He heard this, she fell to her knees and began to kowtow desperately.
"Please spare me, Queen Mother. I know nothing. I just dare not disobey my master."
Su He cried and shouted, ignoring the cold weather and the fact that the hidden guards on both sides were all men. She tore open her clothes and exposed her bulging chest.
But her chest, which should have been white and tender, was now covered with scars.
Su He covered her face and cried, "Empress Dowager, my lower body... is even more..."
She sobbed and couldn't speak fully, and she took a few steps forward on her knees.
"Please, Queen Mother, spare my life."
Xiao Xian kicked her to the ground, "You have no sense of shame!"
Su He struggled to get up from the snow, "Madam, please spare my life, Madam, please spare my life..."
Queen Mother Zhao looked down at her.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Su He."
"It's a nice name, and he's smart."
Su He cried with tears in her eyes.
"I beg the Queen Mother to spare my life, considering that I have been in this cold palace for so long at such a young age. Su He is willing to spend the rest of her life fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures to pray for the Queen Mother's blessing."
"Really?" Queen Mother Zhao said faintly, "But you have been with Xiao Xian for many years, and you are loyal to him. Who knows if this is a self-torture trick?"
