The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Li Qingluo listened to the secrets of the previous dynasty very seriously.

"Died in the Zhong family? How is that possible? Isn't the Zhong family the maternal family of this prince?"

Madam Pei: "Yes, it's the Zhong family."

"It can be said that the Wenchang Marquisate's position in the court back then was dozens of times more powerful than it is now."

"There was a noble concubine in their family, and the prince was very doted on. Even if they already had a crown prince, how could they not have ulterior motives?"

"But the current emperor, when he was still the crown prince, was also outstanding and could not hide his imperial appearance."

"However, His Majesty's favor has caused the Zhong family to have second thoughts."

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

"So, she took action."

The 'she' that Mrs. Pei refers to is the current Queen Mother, the Empress back then.

Madam Pei: "How could she just watch others rob her and her son's things?"

"Back then, she tricked the prince into dying in the Zhong family. The Zhong family initially thought it was an accident and were filled with grief, as if the world was collapsing."

"Later, when she discovered something unusual and discovered the truth, and then reported it to Emperor Taizu, the Imperial Concubine had already gone mad."

"The Zhong family was ultimately a step behind. Most of the power in the court is already in the hands of the Queen's people."

"Even Emperor Taizu could only swallow his heartache and spit out blood, and only banished the empress to the cold palace."

"The position of crown prince was still saved for Emperor Yan."

"It was not until His Majesty ascended the throne that she emerged from the cold palace and ascended to the throne of Empress Dowager."

"The Zhong family was forcibly pacified by Emperor Taizu back then, and they've remained docile over the years. They appear to have let go of everything, but I'm afraid they've already deeply hated Emperor Yan and the Empress Dowager."

"Although on the surface the Zhong family is at its peak, in recent years no one in the Zhong family has risen above the third rank, and no woman has been able to enter the six courtyards of the harem."

"The Zhong family may appear to be flourishing on the surface, but it will be difficult for them to regain their former strength."

"I also heard that the six sons of the Zhong family are all outstanding talents, but they have been suppressed and it is difficult for them to get promoted."

"Now that they've suddenly colluded with the Lotus Cult to rebel, I'm not surprised at all."

Li Qingluo was puzzled. "Since the Zhong family is a hidden danger, Your Majesty hasn't considered eliminating them step by step over the years?"

Madam Pei said, "I heard that Emperor Taizu, feeling guilty, gave this oral instruction to the current emperor before his death."

"Your Majesty must swear an oath no matter what. As long as the Zhong family has no intention of rebellion, Emperor Yan will protect the prosperity of the Zhong family for three generations."

After three generations, all grudges should be settled.

However, the Zhong family itself did not survive three generations.

Li Qingluo finally understood.

The Zhong family's sudden rebellion was due to their deep resentment and long-standing hatred.

And they are dissatisfied with the emperor's current treatment of their Zhong family.

Like a frog in boiling water, the Zhong family was gradually pushed to the point of rebellion...

It is also because Emperor Yan is now old and confused.

It was obvious that he was wary of the Zhong family before.

Now, Xia Miao has been given the opportunity to rebel by the Zhong family.

Of course, Li Qingluo only dared to think so in his heart.

As for the Zhong family, the Lotus Cult just had to beg for mercy and the Zhong family was on board.

Moreover, the Zhong family's ambitions were even greater this time. Seeing that the Queen Mother had also come to Xia Miao, they actually wanted to kill Emperor Yan and the Queen Mother, mother and son, and even the Crown Prince and the Queen, mother and son.

but……

Li Qingluo suddenly shuddered.

Are the Queen and the Crown Prince also involved in this matter?

After all, the relationship between the prince and the Lotus Sect is complicated and difficult to explain.

“Grandma, the Zhong family can’t win.”

The Zhong family thought this was a great opportunity.

However, they had never expected that Duan Rongshi would come directly to the Nanshan Villa to report after returning from suppressing the bandits.

This is probably the only thing the Zhong family missed.

So, Zhong Liulang kept wandering around in the woods following the two princes and princess.

The Zhong family also used fake civilians to lead Emperor Yan and his entourage back to the Nanshan Villa.

They wanted to catch the turtle in the jar, kill the king and seize the throne behind closed doors.

But with Duan Rongshi here, the outcome of today's battle will definitely not be decided by the Zhong family.

Just as he was thinking about it, another group of people came in from outside, rushed in and shouted: "The old witch Queen Mother is right here——"

"kill!"

"Take the head of the old witch Queen Mother and avenge the great hatred of my Zhong family—"

Sha Wu went forward with a knife in hand.

But there are more than ten people in this group, and each of them is very skilled.

Li Qingluo retreated with Madam Pei.

Suddenly, a long arrow flew in from the window and almost pierced the Queen Mother's head.

The Queen Mother screamed and immediately crawled under the table in a panic.

Aunt Fang yelled: "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor——"

"Protect the Queen Mother—"

Li Qingluo picked up the Biluo Sword and said, "Grandmother, Luo'er will go take a look. You stay inside to protect the Queen Mother and wait for Luo'er to return."

Madam Pei didn't waste any words: "Luo'er, your life is at stake!"

Li Qingluo and Que'er followed and killed them.

She looked up and saw a tall young man in black standing on the wall.

He is 70% similar to Zhong Liulang.

She immediately guessed that it must be one of the young men in the Zhong family.

As soon as she appeared, the man immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at her.

Li Qingluo's bow and arrow fell on the horse's back.

The only thing he had with him was the Biluo Sword.

So she and Que'er could only hastily swung their swords to block the arrows. After hiding behind a pillar, she shouted loudly, "Young Master Zhong!"

"There are only innocent women, children and the elderly here. If your Zhong family wants to rebel and seize the throne, there is no need to kill everyone."

"There are still many innocent lives left. Are they also going to die in your Zhong family's rebellion?"

Zhong Sanlang: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Today, all of you must die--!"

"Just think of it as a burial companion for the Duan family."

"It also fulfills your loyalty and righteousness."

"Once we have killed all of you, no one in the world will know what our Zhong family did today."

Li Qingluo: "Then your Zhong family really had a big dream!"

After saying that, Li Qingluo turned around and shot out his sleeve arrow.

Que'er waved his sword and raised Li Qingluo to block the flying arrow.

Li Qingluo's arrow hit the man's thigh, and the man's subsequent arrows also injured Que'er's arm.

Li Qingluo took Que'er and pushed her into the house.

She stood at the door to block the masters who kept rushing towards her and the arrows that kept flying towards her from Zhong Sanlang.

Seeing that the man was an excellent archer, he kept shooting towards her and even flew into the house.

Li Qingluo could only retreat quickly.

Wait for her to go back into the house and quickly close the door.

Then he crawled back to Madam Pei who was hiding beside the pillar.

"Grandma, we can hold out for a while against the three assassins and the two maids outside. But you need to find a safer place to hide first!"

"This man is an expert archer, and the people he brings with him are also highly skilled in martial arts."

"It seems that he is determined to take the Queen Mother's life!"

After Li Qingluo said this, the Queen Mother trembled all over.

She raised her head and looked at Li Qingluo with cloudy eyes.

"Hahaha……"

"That bitch's descendant is really promising."

"It's been so many years, and you still want to avenge her and her?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Alright, then I'll go out and die, using my life to pay for the lives of mother and son! This whole farce should be over now!"

The Queen Mother said this as she trembled and tried to get up.

There was also a determination to die in his eyes.

Li Qingluo grabbed it tightly.

"The Queen Mother!"

"The Zhong family is not seeking revenge for Concubine Zhong."

"It's because of the resentment that the Zhong family felt when you wiped them out and destroyed all their undeserved desires."

"What they hate is not that Concubine Zhong and her son were ruined by you."

"But everything about the Zhong family was blocked by you."

"No matter what, the Zhong family's treason is a capital crime."

"No matter what happened back then, the Zhong family is to blame for their indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the bloodbath at Nangong Villa."

"Let's go quickly!"

Li Qingluo didn't give any explanation and forcibly pulled the Queen Mother to the innermost part and opened the rear window.

There was no one outside, but if I climbed out at this moment, I would definitely be a target.

The only safe thing is hiding in this house.

Li Qingluo quickly pulled out the cabinets and bed.

Seeing her actions, Aunt Fang and the Queen Mother widened their eyes in shock.

Madam Pei laughed dryly: "Oh... this girl is just full of energy. She makes you laugh."

The Queen Mother sighed, "That's great! Great!"

It will be useful tonight, so it's good to have a strong power.

Li Qingluo used the bed and cabinets to create a safe barrier for them.

"You guys just hide here. Unless someone sets the fire, don't come out!"

After saying that, Li Qingluo picked up the Biluo Sword and rushed out to kill.

Que'er wanted to follow, but was glared back by Li Qingluo.

"You still want to distract me?"

"Take care of your own injuries first and take care of my grandmother!"

Que'er thought about the times when she was a burden, and could only bite her lip and watch Li Qingluo leave alone with grievance.

Mrs. Pei also looked at her back with concern and reluctance, and only wiped her eyes after she walked away.

How can I say I'm not worried?

The Queen Mother comforted her weakly: "This girl has great ideas and a heroic temperament. She is also upright and honest, able to distinguish right from wrong, loyal and affectionate."

"He's a good kid who makes people love him."

Madam Pei looked at her and thought: Do you finally see it now?

The Queen Mother said: "Don't worry. I understand everything about Xiaowu and her."

Madam Pei stepped forward enthusiastically to support her: "Empress Dowager, please stop talking and take a good rest."

On the wall outside, Sha Wu had forced Zhong Sanlang down.

Li Qingluo also rushed into the yard and fought with these people.

But she was already exhausted.

He was just holding on and still swinging his sword.

Until someone's blood splashed into her eyes.

She couldn't help but blink, and didn't see the arrow flying towards her from Zhong Sanlang—

The arrow was three inches away from her chest when it was deflected by a long sword.

Duan Rongshi rushed in with his guards.

Sha Wu also took advantage of the opportunity and cut off Zhong Sanlang's hand holding the longbow.

With the cooperation of Duan Rongshi, Li Qingluo also killed a master who had been fighting for a long time.

There was a loud bang outside.

And the roar of the horn.

In the pouring rain, Duan Rongshi held her hand and said, "The Beitu Army is here."
