Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

When the soldiers nearby saw them taking Xie Sheng away, they thrust out their spears, trying to stop Xie Sheng.

At this time, Queen Wang rushed forward and stopped those who were about to chase Xie Sheng.

She seemed to have no fear at all and seemed to be determined to die, so she rushed towards the spear without any hesitation.

"Ah——" She screamed and grabbed the spear that was stabbing her body.

The soldiers were frightened by her and suddenly dropped their spears and took a few steps back.

Queen Wang pulled out the tip of the gun from her body, then raised the gun and stabbed the person who was retreating.

The man was stabbed by Queen Wang and fell to the ground.

Next, Queen Wang fought bloody battles and killed many soldiers.

The soldiers also began to target her, but Queen Wang never gave up until she was hit by dozens of bullets and then fell to the ground.

-

Xie Xin was a little surprised when he saw those secret guards.

"Those people actually followed her?"

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who?"

"My uncle went to the northern desert and accidentally saved some prisoners from a foreign tribe. They must have been victims of the fight for the throne of northern desert. They followed my uncle to repay him. After my uncle passed away, they disappeared. I thought they had returned to northern desert, but I didn't expect..."

Yun Chuwei understood. No wonder these people seemed so good at riding horses. It turned out they were from Mobei.

When seeing one of them picking up Xie Sheng and about to run away, Yun Chuwei's voice turned cold.

"Give me the bow and arrow!"

After hearing this, Xie Xin took off the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei drew his bow and arrow, aiming at Xie Sheng and the man who took Xie Sheng away.

She suddenly released the string, and the long arrow cut through the air and flew out, like an eagle attacking its prey, flying towards Xie Sheng and the person who took Xie Sheng away.

The long arrow pierced straight through the two men, who suddenly fell down and were about to fall off their horses.

At this time, two secret guards on horseback came running and picked them up.

The others spread out to defend themselves.

Yun Chuwei wanted to shoot another arrow, but it was too late.

She gritted her teeth slightly.

Xie Xuan reached out, held Yun Chuwei's hand, took the bow and arrow from her hand, returned it to Xie Xin, and said, "Don't worry, even if he runs away, he won't survive!"

Yun Chu pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

She couldn't feel at ease until she saw Xie Sheng's body.

Xie Xuan saw what Yun Chuwei was thinking and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to chase him!"

Yun Chu nodded slightly.

At this time, she saw Queen Wang lying on the battlefield covered in blood.

She was slightly startled.

"The Queen has this skill? I didn't realize it!" Yun Chu said in a low voice.

Whether in her previous life or this life, she had never realized that Queen Wang actually possessed extraordinary skills and was an expert in martial arts.

Xie Xin sighed almost inaudibly.

"Before my grandfather was recommended to Your Majesty by the Marquis's Mansion, he was a horse slave. The Queen and my mother were dancers and singers raised by their masters. The Queen practiced martial arts since she was a child in order to dance the sword-wielding female dance."

Yun Chu nodded as if he understood something: "So that's how it is."

-

Because of the disparity in strength, the battle ended quickly.

Just as Lin Ji was leading his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, the door of the Hot Spring Palace was opened.

Emperor Tianqi came out in a carriage.

Soon, he arrived at the battlefield.

Lin Ji brought the queen's body upstairs, placed it next to the carriage, and reported the situation to him.

Emperor Tianqi lifted the curtain and looked down from the carriage. He saw the queen, whose flesh and blood were blurred, but whose appearance was still clearly visible.

There was blood on her face, but not much.

The bloodstains that looked like red spider lilies made her face look pale and strange.

Emperor Tianqi thought of the scene when they first met, when she was wearing a veil, painted with flowers, and dancing for him.

That amazing dance still lingers in my mind.

He tightened his grip on the gauze curtain, feeling a slight pain in his heart.

He forced himself to turn his head away and asked Lin Ji, "Where is the prince?"

Lin Ji lowered his voice and told Emperor Tianqi the truth, then lowered his head and waited for Emperor Tianqi's instructions.

Emperor Tianqi whispered: "Since the prince is dead, you can take the bodies of the queen and the prince back!"

Lin Ji didn't quite understand what Emperor Tianqi meant, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only bow his head and agree.

After he agreed, Emperor Tianqi's carriage set off again and headed towards the capital.

Lin Ji had his men clean up the battlefield and saw Yun Chuwei and the other two in the distance, so he rode over on horseback.

"Miss Yun, can I have a word with you?" He vaguely guessed what the emperor meant, but he was not sure.

He felt that Yun Chuwei might know the emperor better, so he wanted to confirm it with Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei nodded in agreement and followed Lin Ji to the side.

Lin Ji repeated his conversation with Emperor Tianqi.

Yun Chuwei understood what Emperor Tianqi meant at the first moment.

Emperor Tianqi said that the prince was dead, which meant that there was no need to pursue the prince.

He was also told to bring the prince's body back, meaning that he could just find a corpse and pretend it to be the prince's.

Yun Chuwei told Lin Ji what she thought.

Lin Ji pursed his lips slightly and said, "I think so too, but why?"

Why did Your Majesty suddenly make such a decision?

Yun Chuwei glanced at Queen Wang who was lying on the ground, no longer breathing.

She whispered, "Why do you think Queen Wang became the queen?"

Lin Ji was startled, then said: "Queen Wang's father and brother have made great contributions to the Great Chu, Your Majesty..."

Lin Ji said a lot.

Yun Chu nodded slightly, and then said: "These are all reasons, but they are definitely not the most important reasons. The most important reason should be that His Majesty is willing."

Who can force a powerful ruler like that to do something he doesn't want to do?

Lin Ji was surprised: "You mean, His Majesty loves the Queen?"

Yun Chuwei was silent for a long time before he said, "That should be it!"

If he didn't love her, why would he depose the queen and replace her with another one?

If he didn't love her, why would he try every means to leave behind a grandson in the line of the crown prince?

It’s just that love is not that important to that person.

It's dispensable! That's why I give up when I want to!

Lin Ji was silent for a long time before he said, "Then I will go and make preparations!"

He needed to find a corpse that was similar in shape to the prince, and use some means to make it impossible for others to tell whether it was the prince or not.

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Master Lin, please do as you please!"

After Lin Ji left, Xie Xuan and Xie Xin came to her.

Xie Xin asked: "What did Master Lin say to you?"

Yun Chuwei did not hide anything.

After all, they all knew that Xie Sheng was only shot with an arrow, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive. When they saw the fake corpse, they would understand.

Xie Xin was extremely surprised: "Father, are you going to let Xie Sheng live?"

Yun Chu remained silent.

She couldn't accept this.

If she said yes, Xie Xuan would not be happy. After all, in the previous life, Xie Sheng was the murderer who directly massacred the Xuanwang Mansion.

If it wasn't, Xie Xuan probably wouldn't be happy either, because Xie Sheng in this life was almost the same as he was in the previous life.
