Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1149

Emperor Mingde should be dead.

If he is not dead, let him really die... The Queen Mother slowly stood up and walked to the window. Her eyes passed through the tightly closed window frame, as if she could penetrate the deep and distant night and see the Chaoyang Palace belonging to Emperor Mingde deep in the palace.

Finally, we have come to this step.

The Queen Mother actually didn't want to start a war.

She hoped that just like in her dream, and just like what Shi Anrou said in the "previous life", Emperor Mingde would die quietly alone and then pass the throne to Prince Jin.

Instead of revealing all her cards as she does now.

At this point, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

The Queen Mother made her final decision, "It's time to see my good son for the last time." She raised her head with irresistible majesty, "Secret Guards! All secret guards appear!"

Eight secret guards emerged silently from the shadows like ghosts, dressed in black with stern faces. They quickly and silently lined up in front of the Empress Dowager.

They cannot see the light of day, and have never even met each other properly.

The secret guards said in unison, "We swear to be loyal to the Queen Mother until death!"

The candlelight in the hall flickered slightly.

The Empress Dowager sat back on the chair, looked at them one by one, and nodded with a smile, "I remember that you have been with me for more than a year?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, one year and ten months." One of the secret guards replied.

The Queen Mother looked at the secret guard. He had an ordinary appearance, a blank expression, and was not very tall. It was really hard for people to remember him. "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Zhong."

The Queen Mother asked each one of them.

"My name is Xue Junyang."

"My name is Wu Qinglong."

Xie Dagui! Qin Gang! Zhao Liangsheng! Bao Jikun! Zheng Hongtu!

"Good! Very good!" The Queen Mother smiled. "Normally, in two months I will select secret guards again. But you are lucky and don't have to follow the old path of the secret guards. Now is your chance to make meritorious contributions. Once the big thing is done, all of you will go to the Ministry of War to serve!"

The secret guards knelt on one knee, their voices deep and firm, seemingly much more passionate than before, "Swear to be loyal to the Queen Mother until death, and ensure that the mission is completed!"

The Empress Dowager is a very suspicious person, and her secret guards have been secretly replaced every two years.

The way to select secret guards is to have them recommended by people she trusts, and then the newcomers will fight with the existing secret guards in a real fight to the death.

The survivors become the new secret guards. The losers will die.

She suddenly remembered, "You have been with me for a year and ten months? There are no secret guards left by the previous batch?"

Bao Jikun raised his eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, I killed your last secret guard Xu Tong!"

"Her Majesty, I killed your last secret guard Gao Guan!"

Are the secret guards of this generation so strong?

The Queen Mother remembered. She had a secret guard named Mao Yuan who had followed her for twelve years. "Who among you killed Mao Yuan?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, your subordinate Xie Dagui has killed Mao Yuan!"

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, yes, it was this man who killed Mao Yuan.

It can be said that Mao Yuan walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but ended up dying at the hands of Xie Dagui.

One year and ten months!
