empress and princess

After a few moments, Qin Mingsu pursed his dry lips and waited silently.

Two steps away, by the shore of the frozen lake, Qin Jihuang was still sitting alone on the bluestone. She shook the wine bag again and again, but never took a sip, and did not say a word after hearing the request.

"Besides the country and the beauties, the king really has no third choice." After a short silence, Ming Su stepped forward and stretched out his hand, gently resting on King Qin's shoulder, "I just want to take this opportunity, I also want to see, That person who has been married to me for six years, does he have a little weight in his heart, my lord." The tone was slow, not sad.

Qin Tangjing then raised his eyes, his bright black pupils, and looked at her like torches: "One thing you have to think about, it is not a child's play to represent the lonely king on the battlefield, it means that you are completely against each other, and you and Song Rong will never return to the past. .”

Song Rong was always the one who rescued Mingsu from the small black room and muttered to her when she was in a coma.

"Your Majesty cares about my sister, my sister is very grateful, but it is about the success or failure of my family and my country, my sister's mind has been made up."

"Family country?" Qin Tang read these two words, put his hand on his forehead, "Speaking of it, Qin and Song Dynasties are both your home country, and the lonely king will not force you to choose one of the two, so you don't have to make it difficult."

Qin Mingsu shook his head: "Sister Chen is not righteous, besides Daqin's success or failure, she also has her own selfishness."

"Just because of Song Rong? You want to save her life."

"It's not just that." Qin Mingsu greeted Ji Huang, although he was described as weak, but his words were not weak, "My sister is for more than a hundred people in Qi Wang's mansion."

Qin Tangjing understood, "Conspirator, destroy their entire family, you want to save them?"

These words made Qin Mingsu's heart gouged out, and then he smiled wryly: "How can a close relative see death without saving them, that is my sister's family. If I can redeem my crime, my sister is willing to sacrifice herself to die."

She withdrew her hand from Jihuang's shoulder, and stood in the wind, "The Duke Qi's mansion committed a heinous crime. Elder brother killed the king and seized the throne. He deserves death. As a member of Prince Qi's mansion, my sister should be guilty of the same crime. If you really can make a contribution, you dare not ask the king to let your sister and elder brother go, but only ask the king to pardon the innocent people in my Qi Palace after he is restored."

Having said all that, Qin Mingsu knelt down to offer gifts to the emperor and ministers. During this process, he was coughing and coughing due to the wind, and he was on the verge of falling several times, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind. When Ah Yan wanted to help him, she pushed him away.

On the same day when the imperial edict to marry Song was issued, her elder brother begged everywhere like this, he went to the little emperor's uncle to plead, went to the king of Qin to cry, and also went to the queen mother to kneel and beg to withdraw his will. He knelt for two days and two nights, but in the end he couldn't stay live with her.

Now it's Qin Mingsu who protects the entire Prince Qi's mansion.

Qin Tangjing's face was calm at the time, but he didn't stop him after all, and received three worships from Qin Mingsu.

But the humiliation of falling into the throne that night, the only one in his life, has long been firmly nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Using his wife as bait to lure the enemy into the urn, who planned this vicious trick? Wei Jin?"

"It's nothing to do with Doctor Wei, it's my younger sister who volunteered to join the battle."

"You don't have to speak for her. Except for her Wei Jinfu, no one in this world has such courage."

"Sister-in-law begs the king to grant you everything." Qin Mingsu lowered his figure very low, and his voice trembled a little, "Perhaps tomorrow's battle will be the last time Mingsu will see her."

The sun is about to set, the clouds are thin and the wind is cold, and the dusk comes along with the snow.

In the distance, coughs sounded from time to time, and the woman was so weak that she seemed to be coughing up her internal organs.

"It's getting late, master, it's time for us to go back." Ah Yan looked up at the sky, and then at King Qin who was still thinking, so he had to increase his volume, "What is your lord thinking?"

"The lonely king is thinking about a question. Could it be that God is helping me?" Qin Wang stood up and said this for a long time, full of doubts.

Ah Yan thought for a while, and then responded: "Your Majesty has great blessings, and he passed all the way, and he has his own elites to help him."

"Ji Shi? Prime Minister? She helped the lonely king to pacify the world, but she ended up filled with hatred." The death of Prime Minister Li would eventually become a sharp thorn in Ji Huang's heart.

"Sacrificing the ego to accomplish righteousness, the prime minister has always been like this in his life." Ah Yan bowed his head.

Qin Tangjing sneered, unplugged the plug and poured wine, while sweeping her eyes, "Tell me honestly, when you escorted the prime minister's coffin back to Xianyang, Qin Mingyue really controlled the court as you said? The queen mother was imprisoned, Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes." Ah Yan's voice dropped suddenly, and he began to rub his palms with his hands, "The subordinates dare not lie to the master."

"Ayan, the lonely king is not stupid, don't you think everything is weird, didn't you notice it?"

Ah Yan paused, his mouth was dry, and the palms of Shu Shu gradually sweated, "This subordinate is stupid, and has never noticed anything abnormal."

"This weirdness lies in the fact that there are too many coincidences."

"Where is the coincidence?"

"Think about it, all of this is like, every time you are very hungry, someone will suddenly give you a piece of cake to satisfy your hunger, relieve your hunger, and never let you go hungry. Do you behave like a puppet in captivity? ? Thinking about it makes people chill! It makes the lonely king have to be cautious. Which link is wrong? Could someone be manipulating it? The lonely king can't think deeply..."

Since leaving the Qin Palace, the fog has become more and more unclear as time goes by.

Qin Mingyue rebelled, and Prime Minister Li, who supported him in seizing the throne, turned his back on him openly, conspiring to help her destroy Wei Chuyan, and wholeheartedly assisting her in sweeping up the six kingdoms, just because of the old love with the little emperor uncle?

However, after Qin Mingyue was defeated and returned to the pass, he never sent troops to kill her and exterminate her. The two sides have lived in peace until now.

He's not afraid that she will fight back to the Qin country and slaughter him all over the house to vent her anger?

Then there was the name of rebellion back then, which meant abolishing the political reform, but now everything in the Qin country remains the same, could it be that Qin Mingyue didn't fight those upstart women?Apart from these, all kinds of clues are all weird!

Qin Tangjing raised his head and swallowed a few mouthfuls of warm wine. His chest was instantly filled with a scent of medicine, but the aftertaste was extremely bitter.

The good medicine was bitter, and she still remembered what Chu Huaimin said when he coaxed her to drink the medicine, but the taste was bitter, as if it had soaked into the blood.

"My subordinates still say the same thing, the secret guards can still kill people. As for other things, forgive me for being stupid and incompetent."

"That's because you don't understand the game of chess in the world. Anyway, the lonely king is getting more and more incomprehensible. Every problem in the world seems to be solved without the help of the lonely king. The nobles help me solve them one by one. Tell me, the lonely king How long can this cheap king last?"

Ah Yan had nothing to say this time, she only dared to look up to the sky and dared not answer.

"I hope the lonely king is more worried!"

The setting sun was slanting, and the sleeves were raised at the end. After speaking, Qin Tang looked up to the sky and smiled, a little sad, and the universe in the smile was unclear.

Taking unsteady steps, leaving deep and shallow marks on the ground, she did not look back, and went deeper before the curtain ended.

******

Song Rong, with a livid face, pinched the corner of the case tightly, the calm before the storm.

"See clearly? Is it really the queen?" Her eyes burst out with anger, and she asked again, suppressing her anger.

"That's right, the woman who appeared as the forward of King Qin's army is the queen!"

Song Rong laughed back angrily: "Standing openly in front of the enemy's army, what does she want to fight against the widow? Or do she want to fight with the widow!" Those who betrayed her will end badly, no matter who they are.

"According to the opinion of the counselor Chu, what should I do?" Song Rongzhi pointed at Chu Huaimin who was busy setting up the formation without saying a word.

"Involving the Queen, the King of Song will decide." Chu Huaimin responded casually, still looking at the topographic map.

Song Rong waved his sleeves angrily, "Prepare the horse and meet the queen!" Finally, he left this verbal instruction and disappeared in an instant.

Inside the military tent, Chu Huaimin squeezed his eyebrows and listened quietly to the rapid movement of soldiers and horses outside.

According to the report from the scouts, King Qin did not show up in this battle, the leading general was Qin Jiufeng, and the forward general was Qin Mingsu, queen of Song Dynasty. What is this?Use emotions to mess with Song Rong's mind?It's a coup.

Seeing Hou Sha approaching from the outside, Chu Huaimin didn't get up, and put the pot on the stove to make tea, and the tent was filled with fragrance after a while.

"His Royal Highness, the last general has already persuaded the generals of the battalions to surrender. We only need to give you an order, and we will surely succeed!"

"Okay, General Hou has fulfilled his mission, I respect you a bottle." Chu Huaimin held it up himself and put it in his hand.

Hou Sha was a rough old man who didn't understand the elegance of tea tasting at all, so he said directly: "It's not too late, before the master dispatches troops and generals to leave the camp, let's just turn back! After three years of dormancy, the general thought it was the right time It's ripe."

"Don't be in a hurry, General Hou, don't underestimate Song Wang, many people in the army followed her through life and death."

"That……"

"Let's see how today's battle goes."

Chu Huaimin said, his voice still as cold as ice.It can be regarded as giving them a chance to meet again.

Fifty miles outside the city, the two armies faced each other.

"There are 2 people here, are they evenly matched? Very good." Song Rong raised his chin, narrowed his narrow eyes, and sure enough, he saw the woman at the forefront of Qin Wangjun's vanguard. She was dressed in Qin Jia and looked quite heroic. It was her Song Wang. back.

So Song Rong rode his horse and went straight to the enemy's vanguard, staring at the weak female general: "I haven't seen you for more than a year. When will I, the Queen of Song, become the leader of King Qin?"

The words were thorny, Qin Mingsu ignored them, and said the first sentence: "Song Rong, give up, you can't win the final battle."

"You are a traitor, what is your position, and what qualifications do you have to persuade me to give up?"

"Because you will lose, and if you lose, you will die."

Song Rong laughed at himself and looked around, "So you led the troops to encircle me?"

"As long as you surrender, the King of Qin promised to spare you." Qin Mingsu drove his horse close to her, persuading her: "At the end of the battle, how can you win the nearly 30 army of the King of Qin? Do you think Chu Huaimin can help you restore the country? ? Your Majesty, it's too difficult, too difficult."

Song Rong sighed, "You and I have shared the same bed for so many years, I didn't realize that you are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and I only let you manage the widow's harem, I really wronged you."

"Arong, trust me, end the war, King Qin didn't intend to kill you."

"Do you think I'm going to put my life in the hands of the enemy?"

"All six countries are dead..."

"To shut up!"

Qin Mingsu sucked in the cold air, and saw Song Rong slowly raised a sword, his clenched fingertips almost pinched into the flesh.The sword was extremely sharp, and when Song Rong swung it, it seemed that a cold light shot out from the tip of the sword, all aimed at her.

Song Wang Liangyu, these four words were engraved on the body of the sword, and it flashed by the moment it was raised.

Song Rong still smiled, and Mr. Ruyu smiled warmly, looking at the familiar face in front of him, his eyes almost ooze blood, "Queen, let's not talk about this today, since you are here on behalf of Qin, you and I will die, yes Bar?"

At this moment, life and death were at stake, and it was useless for the two of them to say anything.

As soon as the generals of the two sides fought, the Song army took the lead in charging and killing. The combat capability displayed by this army was very brave.

It didn't take long for Song Rong to gain the upper hand and suppress Qin Mingsu.If he was still in good health, Qin Mingsu would definitely not be weak, and it would be hard to tell whether he would win or lose against Song Rong. Unfortunately, his body weakened a lot later, and he could not turn the tide of the battle at this time.

Song Rong stabbed with a sword at a tricky angle. Qin Mingsu, who was on horseback, couldn't dodge in time, and his left arm was cut bloody.

Song Rong looked coldly, unmoved, and stabbed again with the sword, "Who said that the widow will definitely lose, why admit defeat. If you die, you must die first!"

Qin Mingsu reluctantly turned his head back and took a deep look at her, not wanting to fight, and quickly returned to the formation.

Because of killing the enemy with anger, Song Rong charged into the battle with astonishing explosive power. Wherever he went, he was stained with blood, and his sword had killed hundreds of people. In just half an hour, the forward of King Qin's army was defeated, and the remnant soldiers hurriedly retreated.

"My lord, look at that, it's the queen! She's gone!" Someone beside Song Rong suddenly shouted, whipping him straight ahead.

"Want to run? It's not easy." Of course Song Rong would not let it go, and immediately galloped after him.

After getting far away, the number of people around gradually decreased, and finally there were only two white horses left, galloping wantonly on this battlefield.

The horse's hooves didn't stop until they crossed the valley road, and then the horse in front slowed down.Qin Mingsu turned around, his cheeks were scarlet from the mountain wind, his eyes were slightly red, watching Song Rong suddenly rein in his horse, paused for a while, and then walked slowly.

"Why didn't you run away?" Song Rong asked, looking across the valley road in the mountains, "This is indeed a good place to ambush."

"Song Rong, the grievance between you and me is here, let's end it." Qin Mingsu said softly.

The valley road in the mountain was really different, black and heavy heads popped out suddenly, Song Rong's expression changed, he clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, uncoagulated blood condensed down along the sword body, "Are you planning to seduce me?"

"Yes, I have no choice."

"What a joke!" Song Rong raised his sword suddenly, his eyes were full of anger, "You really thought that Qin Jihuang would let me go, you are so naive."

As soon as these words fell, Song Rongteng got up, and acted first, subdued the injured Qin Mingsu with a few moves, and immediately drove the shining sword to her neck, and said in a harsh tone: "Be honest, if you move, you will die!"

Qin Mingsu was panting, his face was pale, Qin Jiufeng led people to quickly outflank him, and said angrily when he saw this: "Song Rong, it's better to discuss it if you don't fight, if not, the former king of the five kingdoms will be your end, you have to think about the consequences."

"Get out! Back off." Song Rong shouted coldly, and with a move of his hand, cut Qin Mingsu's skin, "Do you want to see her die?"

"You son of a bitch, dare to threaten this king." Qin Jiufeng gritted his teeth, with the hostage in her hands, he held back for a while, and had to wave his hand to signal everyone to back away first.

Song Rong stepped forward, lowered his head, approached Ming Su's cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Afterwards, I will not kill you."

"You, have you never liked me?"

Qin Mingsu's heart had been kept in Qin Mingsu's heart for many years, and she was almost becoming depressed. Finally, she had the opportunity to ask such a question, and her world suddenly became brighter and full of vitality, but this question was such a miserable scene, a moment of desperation.

However, she was pressed against the neck by the sword, and after waiting and waiting, Song Rong didn't answer her question, and never did.

She thought that Song Rong would at least refuse and say that he didn't like it.

Qin Mingsu finally coughed uncontrollably: "The relationship between husband and wife has been so fragile for many years, why?"

Good question!Song Rong's blood surged up for a while, and finally answered: "You asked me why, and I want to ask you why."

"For many years, you have been lurking by my widow's side, with hypocrisy, all for your own mother country! How many times have you betrayed me during this period, and how have you ever thought about it? Even so, the widow took into account the little companionship back then, allowing you to live until the end of your life Now, what else do you want? Tell me, how can I, Song Rong, treat you badly, and you want to betray me like this?!"

Song Rong became excited, his hands trembled carelessly, and the sharp sword cut the skin on Qin Mingsu's neck again.

Blood soon flowed all over Ming Su's upper body, and his face gradually turned gray.

The willows wither and the flowers fade, and the vitality is destroyed.

"Although it's not love at first sight, it's enough to fall in love after a long time." The moment she stepped out of the encirclement, Qin Mingsu opened her mouth. She stared blankly at Song Rong's fingers holding the sword hilt showing the word "Liangyu", and she was helpless. Tsukuru sighed lightly, "Liangyu, after all, I betrayed you, and I will repay you with my life, is that enough?"

……

King Qin's barracks.

The two monarchs and ministers are playing chess, each of them is a little absent-minded.

When Ah Yan turned back, he brought news: "Report to the king, this battle was a great victory, but Song Rong failed to catch her, the princess, she hanged herself to death."

With a 'click' sound, a white piece fell from between Ji Huang's fingers and landed hastily on the chessboard.

Wei Jin lowered his head slightly, found the white piece that disrupted the chess game, picked it up, and said softly: "The princess will always be loyal to Daqin, she sacrificed herself and completed the final mission."

Qin Tangjing closed his eyes, his heart was desolate, "Mingsu is gone, what should the lonely king do, will Song Rong not be spared?"

A month later, a general named Hou Sha came to the camp and took the lead to surrender. That is to say, Song Rong was betrayed by everyone, and now he had less than a thousand soldiers by his side. Among the snow mountains.

And Chu Huaimin also disappeared with Song Rong. Qin Tangjing was very annoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent people up the mountain to search.

There is a cave halfway up that snow-capped mountain. The cave should be very deep. It is dark and windy.

There is only a pile of exuberant fire, which adds a touch of warmth to this place.

"Pace, do you miss your aunt?" Song Rong is here now, holding a child on his lap, teasing her for fun.

Chu Peisi was a little shy, and the little man huddled in Song Rong's arms. When he heard the word aunt, his little mouth drooped immediately, with teary eyes, and the child said softly, "I miss my aunt."

Song Rong then coaxed her: "Then you wait here obediently, please don't cry, Uncle Song Wang wrote to your aunt, and your aunt will come to you in a few days."

With her soft voice, coupled with her sinister eyes and ferocious face, Chu Peisi will not be able to sleep again tonight.
