After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Yan Changqing's pupils shrank, and the sharp dagger that had been in his palm shot towards King Ruyang's calf.

His purpose was to further destroy the center of gravity of King Ruyang's body.

As long as the opponent loses balance, he will not be able to control his body's movements. Even if he wants to drag the Empress Dowager down with him before falling, he cannot do it.

The Queen Mother might get hurt by this, but this is the best way.

Seeing the opportunity, Concubine Li paused while holding Prince Ruyang's hand, then fell backwards, overturning the chair behind her with her body weight.

Prince Ruyang reacted quickly as well. In order to avoid Yan Changqing's dagger, he could only sit back.

But no matter how quick he was, he did not expect that Concubine Li would be so bold as to betray him even though there was evidence!

He sat on an empty space and completely lost his balance, falling backwards.

At the same time, Yan Changqing's dagger also missed.

But it is not important.

His figure was as fast as lightning, leaving only a residual image on everyone's retinas. The next moment, he appeared beside King Ruyang, grasped his sword-holding hand, and squeezed it hard.

With a crisp "crack" sound, King Ruyang's wrist broke and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Yan Changqing's movements were so fast that it was only at this moment that the personal guards of Prince Ruyang reacted and became a mess.

Some drew their swords against Yan Changqing, some directly raised their swords to chop at the Queen Mother, and some tried to help Prince Ruyang who was falling backwards.

King Ruyang's sword fell, and more sword lights came.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes.

As long as Prince Ruyang's conspiracy is crushed, her life will be gone.

More than ten years ago, she should have followed in the footsteps of the late emperor.

It’s just that I’m worried about my three children that I’ve been holding on until now.

I've lived for more than ten years, and it's worth it.

However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, a body fell on top of her, blocking all the damage for her.

More people rushed towards the Queen Mother.

Yan Changqing grabbed King Ruyang and dragged him up from the ground. His five fingers were like iron hooks on his throat. He shouted in a deep voice: "Don't move! Get out three steps!"

He had no weapon in his hand, but no one doubted his skill with it.

Prince Ruyang's personal guards slowly retreated with knives in hand, re-forming a standoff.

However, their situation was hopeless.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes and saw Concubine Li’s pale face.

She fell to the ground, and Concubine Li reached out to hug her, using her body to shield her from all harm.

There were several swords and knives stuck in Concubine Li's body, and blood was flowing out like crazy.

"Queen Mother..."

Concubine Li's breath was weak, but she still had something to say.

At this moment, she was not even aware of the pain.

"It's all my fault. Please, please protect Ziyi. He...he is a filial, filial..."

When she said this, blood gushed out of her mouth, blocking the words she wanted to say.

The Queen Mother hugged her back and said, "I know, you want to say that Ziyi is a filial child, right?"

A pale smile appeared on Concubine Li's face and she nodded slowly.

"Okay! I promise you."

Qin Ziyi is the name of the Sixth Prince.

The emperor was not a competent father and did not care much about his children. The names of the princes and princesses were all given by their mothers.

As her consciousness faded, Concubine Li seemed to have returned to the day when she gave birth to the sixth prince.

She was as weak as she is now. With the help of the nanny, she turned sideways and looked at the pink and tender little one in the cradle.

He closed his eyes and held his right hand in a small fist beside his head.

His skin was red and wrinkled, and he didn't look as handsome as his father, nor as elegant as his mother, but in Concubine Li's eyes, he was the cutest child in the world.

She held out her hand, and the child opened his fist and squeezed her fingers hard.

From that moment on, she vowed to protect him.

When naming the child, she did not choose words that represent ambition, excellence, etc. All she hoped was that the child would be comfortable.

Being born in a royal family, she was destined to have many things beyond her control. She hoped that her son would grow up safely, marry a wife, and live happily.

Unfortunately, she couldn't wait any longer.

I can't wait until the day when I can hold my grandson.

child……

my child.

"Mother concubine!"

The boy's clear voice almost broke in panic.

He struggled to break free from Yan Shouzhuo's hand, staggered, and pounced towards Concubine Li.

The scene was in chaos, and many people turned their heads away reluctantly, not wanting to face this most difficult separation of life and death in the world.

"Mother, mother..."

The Sixth Prince knelt beside Concubine Li and held her hand, his voice trembling and his eyes blurred with tears.

His vision was too blurred to see Concubine Li's face. He wiped away his tears and spoke incoherently: "Mother, look at your son, you have to hold on, it's all over! It will be fine, you..."

The Sixth Prince's voice suddenly stopped.

Concubine Li's life completely stopped at this moment.

She fell weakly on the Queen Mother with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Mother! Mother——"

The Sixth Prince completely broke down and cried heartbreakingly.

He simply couldn't accept that his mother would leave him in this way.

"child."

After experiencing this disaster, although the Empress Dowager is not in danger of life at the moment, her body has suffered great damage, not to mention that Concubine Li is still pressing on her chest.

The Queen Mother raised her arm with great effort and touched the Sixth Prince's head: "Cry if you want to."

Yan Shouzhuo stepped forward, picked up the Sixth Prince, and buried his head in his chest.

The Minister of Revenue rushed over, carefully moved Concubine Li's body away from the Empress Dowager, hugged his daughter's head, and was inconsolable.

He knew that his daughter made such a choice because he was burdened by her as a father.

Betraying Dajing and holding the Queen Mother hostage is a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

Concubine Li, she wanted to die.

Only if she died protecting the Empress Dowager could she save the Sixth Prince and perhaps give the family a glimmer of hope.

Then the emperor arrived.

He didn't care about the emperor's status and manners, half-knelt on the ground and asked the empress dowager anxiously: "Mother, how do you feel? Can you stand up?"

The Empress Dowager was covered in Concubine Li's blood, and it was impossible to judge the extent of her injuries.

"I am fine."

Just too tired.

After experiencing this on the edge of a knife and watching Concubine Li die, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

The Empress Dowager put her hand on the Emperor's arm and asked him to slowly help her half-sit up from the ground.

"The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"

The emperor cried out.

At this time, Yan Changqing had completely controlled King Ruyang, dragged him out of the Wende Hall, and ordered his men to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Prince Ruyang rebelled, and too many people died as a result.

There is no need to commit murder again now.

The hall was in chaos, and the opportunity that allowed the Queen Mother to escape from danger - the Fourth Prince was still lying on the ground, his face pale, his eyes empty, and his body twitching from time to time.

Qin Yaoguang half-knelt beside him, looking anxious.
