Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 134
In the palace, blood flowed all over the floor, dyeing the originally bright floor red.
More than a dozen heads fell to the ground in disarray, and their eyes widened in horror.
The 13-year-old Zhao Yang stood next to his mother, watching the girls he saw every day being separated, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand up.
"Old thing! You are really unfeeling. Concubine Chen Gui has been with you for ten years, and she is still Xing'er's mother. Are you not afraid of having nightmares when you see her die like this?" Zhao Yan scolded.
"You killed the man, what kind of nightmare did I have?" The old emperor said coldly, his eyes were cloudy and sharp, and fell on his eldest son like a knife: "Chen Guifei died for the country. After I get out of trouble, I will reward her and give her the glory of the Chen family. For you... You are a descendant of the Zhao family, but you are a descendant of the Zhao family. , you are not allowed to enter the Zhao family’s ancestor’s grave even if you die, and be enshrined by the royal family’s incense!”
"If I ascend the throne, I will naturally be enshrined by the royal family! What is your turn to say?" The emperor's words completely angered Zhao Yan.
His face twitched a few times, and he dragged a man out of the princes and said, "Since your concubine's death is not a pity, then I will take the knife from your children. Tiger poison does not eat children. If you sign the edict now, I will kill you." There is still a way for them to survive, if they don't follow, then none of them will be left behind!"
He dragged out that the man was an elder brother, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was on good terms with Zhao Liang on weekdays, and because he was born before the emperor boarded the plane, he was deeply doted on, and he had already disliked him.
"Father, Father, I don't want to die—" the brother screamed terribly.
They turned their heads and kowtowed: "Mother, I'm just a brother, I can't inherit the throne, let me go!"
Empress Qi raised her eyebrows coldly and said: "It's not up to me whether I let you go or not, it depends on what your father wants, if he values the power in his hands more than the lives of his children , then you can’t blame me.”
At this time, the old emperor thought of the bond between himself and this brother, and finally there was a trace of grief in his eyes. He lowered his head and said: "Sheng'er, you are the blood of the Zhao family, so you can be regarded as being loyal to the Zhao family. without you..."
At this moment, the brother resigned himself to his fate, he let out all his strength and let out a long sigh, staring blankly at Zhao Yang's direction.
Zhao Yan hated the old emperor's ruthlessness even more. For the sake of the country in his hands, he didn't even care about his own children!No wonder he was so cruel to himself!
As soon as he waved his hand, the sergeant next to him raised his knife and dropped his head. Gululu rolled into Zhao Yang's arms, and his eyes were still fixed on him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———'
"Yang'er..." Empress Qi rushed to help him up, but saw that his face was livid and he had peed on his pants.
"Hurry up and send it to the imperial doctor!" Empress Qi shouted while pinching the middle of the crowd for her youngest son.
Zhao Yan said impatiently: "It's such a small matter, so timid! My brother is too weak!"
At this time, Zhao Yang was pinched several times by Empress Qi before he woke up, but his expression was muddled, his whole body was trembling, he seemed to be stupid, and he was still muttering something.
Empress Qi felt distressed and asked the palace servants to sit him in a corner of the palace. At this time, the imperial doctor was dragged in and looked at such a bloody scene, his heart skipped a beat.
After diagnosing Zhao Yang, he said tremblingly, "Emperor...Empress...Little Prince...seems to be crazy..."
When the old emperor heard the words at this time, he laughed wryly, tears overflowing from his laughter: "Mr. Qi! Your own son! Frightened mad by you! This is your retribution."
Zhao Yang was born when he loved the Qi family the most, and he is also a man, so his relationship is naturally unusual.
The old emperor grieved in her heart, and every sentence she said pierced Qi Hou's heart. She trembled like paper and said, "Impossible! How could I, Yang'er, be so crazy? It's just that I was so frightened for a while that I drove this Mongolian doctor away." Cut it off for me!"
"And you princes and princesses! Not one of them will be kept! Behead them all!" Qi said angrily: "Yan'er, if your father doesn't want to sign this edict, then he doesn't need to sign it! If he dies, you will be the son of the imperial edict." The eldest son, the future emperor! What are the others talking about?"
Zhao Yan frowned and was hesitating when his counselor stepped forward to persuade him: "You must not, if there is no imperial edict, you will be dishonest. Zhao Liang bought people's hearts, and the generals in northern Xinjiang have no relationship with him. Well, if we fight back at that time, our troops may not be able to support it!"
Zhao Yan was agitated when he heard the words, neither this nor that, but the old emperor refused to sign the edict!
At this moment, a soldier rushed into the hall to report: "Your Highness! The north gate of the imperial city has been broken open by a team. At this time, the battle is fierce there, and the north corner building is already on fire!"
"It's all useless trash!" Zhao Yan yelled angrily, and kicked the soldier: "I have [-] elite soldiers guarding the imperial city, how could they be broken open! What are they for?"
Then the soldier stood up and said: "It's a secret operation in the city. A group of people immediately joined forces and opened the city gate. There are about a hundred people. They are mixed in the army. We don't know which ones are enemies and which ones are friends... ..."
"Whose team is it!" Zhao Yan was furious, his army had been infiltrated with secret agents, so it must be Zhao Liang's handwriting!
It's just that at this moment, the other party is calling in, the palace is no longer safe, what should he do?
"Your Majesty, Zhao Liang has no soldiers in his hands. The ones coming this time must be Qi Qinyue's troops. He has 9000 troops in the outskirts of Beijing. Compared with our [-] people, the disparity in strength is not to be feared." The adviser next to him said.
Hearing their persuasion, Zhao Yan felt a little more at ease, yes, the soldiers raised by him and the Qi family were enough to deal with the opponent, Zhao Liang's [-] troops, even including those traitors, his number was still much larger than him!
"Strictly guard it!" Zhao Yan said and sent some more people to guard the north gate.There were originally [-] elite soldiers outside his palace, but at this time, he had mobilized another [-] soldiers, leaving only [-] soldiers.
At this moment, on the roof of the imperial palace, Bai Shu was dressed in black, lying on the top of the eaves.
Although he took a rest just now, he took some food and his body felt much more comfortable.But after all, the person who had just given birth had only recovered [-]% of her physical strength after another battle.
Although he wrapped his abdomen tightly with a white cloth, there was still some blood dripping underneath. The doctor also told him, told him not to move violently, and gave him a potion to stop the bleeding, so as not to bleed too much .
This brother's body is so annoying, Bai Shu's heart is restless!
But at this time, there are difficulties in the palace, and he can't take care of other things. If Zhao Yan ascends the throne, the Xie family will be the first to be wiped out. He will never let himself and Xie Huaiyu go!
After a while, he saw dozens of soldiers guarding a side hall.
Bai Shu nimbly flew over to inquire, and saw that the courtiers who had disappeared for a few days were imprisoned in the palace, and his father-in-law, Lord Xie, was also among them.
These ministers are all veteran ministers of Xuan Xuan, and they are also intertwined with various forces.
Zhao Yan detained them here, presumably he did not dare to do it lightly, if his actions were too big and the big families in Beijing would attack them, his position as emperor would not be secure.
Bai Shu rolled his eyes, deliberately and quietly removed a piece of glazed tile, and quickly hit the soldier on duty in the distance.
"Who!" The soldier was walking when he was suddenly hit by someone, and he yelled in shock.
Immediately, many soldiers rushed over, leaving a gap outside the hall.
Bai Shu slid down from the roof, wiping his neck with a dagger in each hand, killing two of them, and opened the palace door.
Seeing that the door opened suddenly, all the ministers rushed out immediately, and saw that the person standing at the door seemed familiar, Lord Xie pointed at him in shock and said, "You, you, you - why are you here!"
"My daughter-in-law has come to rescue my father!" Bai Shu said unhurriedly.
"Your child!" Lord Xie opened his eyes wide, looking at his deflated stomach.
"The birth is over..." Bai Shu said succinctly: "This is not the time to talk about these things, everyone hurry out."
These courtiers followed him and ran out.
At this time, the soldiers guarding outside came to their senses and discovered the movement from this side, and immediately rushed over with their knives in hand.
Those detained here were all civil servants, all of them powerless. Seeing so many ferocious soldiers, they immediately trembled with fright.
Seeing this, Bai Shu directed them to gather in one place.Picking up two sabers from the soldier's body, he rushed over and started killing.In a short while, all the dozens of guards were killed without leaving a piece of armor.
"This...this is your daughter-in-law..." Lord Liu asked with a trembling beard, pointing at Bai Shu's back.
"Yes!" Sir Xie was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "It's my daughter-in-law! Thanks to my blessing today, you were rescued. Remember to be grateful after you go out!"
The corner of Master Liu's mouth twitched, but at this moment he couldn't refute Lord Xie's words.
Just now, the image of Xie's daughter-in-law killing people like chopping vegetables was still reflected in his mind repeatedly, making him respect and fear at the same time.
Bai Shu turned around at this time and said: "You follow me, go out first and then talk."
He led the people all the way towards the west gate, and a courtier said behind him: "I'm afraid there are soldiers guarding that place..."
Then Bai Shu smiled and said, "It's okay, no one will stop me."
It turned out that that was where Zhao Liang's large army was located.The generals guarding the city were from Zhao Liang, and they were deeply trusted by Zhao Yan.
The [-]-man vanguard at the north gate were just those who surrendered from the Xie family just now. They were told to sneak in through the west gate, open the north gate to disturb sight, and then attack with thousands of troops from the north gate, attacking east and west.
And the remaining [-] soldiers and horses quietly waited at the west gate with the [-] troops formed by the supporters in the city.
After Bai Shu led all the courtiers out, Zhao Liang said to Qi Qinyue, "Ziyun, the time has come!"
"Yes!" Qi Qinyue gave an order, and the army rushed into the imperial city with a vicious momentum, and within a few breaths, they arrived at the palace where the emperor was imprisoned.
"Your Highness! They're coming in from outside! There are a lot of people!" The soldiers guarding outside the hall came rushing to report.
Now there are only two thousand troops outside the hall, but so many people came here suddenly.Zhao Yan was terrified, and he didn't know where so many enemy troops came from.
"How is it possible!" Zhao Yan couldn't believe it, and opened the palace door to look, but was almost shot by the flying arrows.
"Yan'er, your big plan is probably hopeless..." The old emperor shook his head and said, "If you succeed in forcing the palace, you will be considered smart for a while. It's just that you have such a mind, you will definitely not be able to achieve great things, but you will only be trapped in a cocoon. You Younger brother Zhao Liang is more than a hundred times stronger than you, even if he doesn't come now, you will be surrounded by his troops in the future."
"Shut up!" Zhao Yan was still listening to the old emperor comparing him with Zhao Liang, his eyes were red, and he pointed at the other party with twitching veins and shouted: "Even if this is the case, you can't live, you think Zhao Liang will Give you a way to survive? He wished you were dead so that he could ascend the throne and become emperor himself!"
"Hahahaha." The old emperor sneered and said, "I am trapped here by you, so I have no hope of surviving. It's just that this great Xuan Jiangshan must not be handed over to you, otherwise I will definitely change Zhao's surname to Qi. I At this age, under the nine springs, you have to face the ancestors of the Zhao family with face."
"Then go see the ancestors of the Zhao family now!" Zhao Yan said as he snatched a saber from the guard at the side, and slashed at the emperor.
The blade came oncoming, and the old emperor closed his eyes.Although he had made the decision to die in his heart long ago, his whole body was still tense at the moment of life and death, and countless fragments flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern.
With a bang, the sound of the blade falling to the ground sounded.
When the old emperor opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yan clutching the hand that had just held the knife, his wrist was pierced by something, blood was flowing.
The door of the hall was wide open, and a brother in black stood at the door at some point, holding a knife in one hand and resting it on Qi Hou's neck.
The emperor took a closer look, only to realize that this brother looked very familiar, it seemed to be the brother Xie Huaiyu married!
"It's you!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's you who ruined my good deeds again!"
Zhao Yan didn't care about the pain in his wrist, he hurriedly picked up the saber and put it on the old emperor's neck.
There are more than a dozen Zhao Yan soldiers in the main hall, but there is only one Bai Shu.But Bai Shu held Empress Qi hostage, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
"You can't escape." Bai Shu said: "The imperial city has been broken, and General Qi is on his way back. All the ministers you captured have been rescued, and they can all prove that you forced the palace."
"Even if you kill the emperor at this time, it is a serious crime committed by rebellion. You will be wiped out later. What's the point?" Bai Shu said lightly: "Those of you who followed Zhao Yan in the rebellion, surrendered at this time, only one person died, and the family members are still alive." I can survive. If you are obsessed with your mistakes, it will be a great crime that implicates the entire family."
Having said that, Bai Shu frowned.He can't accept this kind of behavior where one person breaks the law, implicates the whole family or kills the whole family, but at this time, for the sake of expediency, he has to say it.
The emperor also said at this time when he heard the words: "Yes, surrender at this time, I guarantee that this matter will not implicate your family members. If you are obsessed with obsession, then no wonder I am ruthless."
At this time, the gladiatorial fight outside the hall was also overwhelming. Zhao Yan's two thousand elite soldiers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
The soldiers in the temple looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, as if they had figured it out, they threw the sabers in their hands on the ground.
There was a hint of despair in Zhao Yan's eyes, but he still hated this father who took away his crown prince, even if he was going to die, he would bring him with him!
He had a ferocious face, and the blade in his hand was exerting force, but before the blade fell, an arrow pierced through his head, and he fell to the ground completely dead.
"Yan'er—" Empress Qi uttered a shrill cry, and slumped on the ground.
Zhao Liang walked in from the door, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and said, "Father, it's too late to save the child."
"You have tried your best." The emperor sighed.
At first, he even thought that the second son who had no relationship with him would come here, but now that he could come to rescue him in person, it was beyond his expectation.
A group of soldiers stepped forward and detained Empress Qi and his son Zhao Yang.The emperor walked out of the palace gate supported by Zhao Liang, and shouted: "Zhao Yan is dead, the rebels surrender quickly, or they will all be killed!"
At this time, those who were still stubbornly resisting knew that the situation was over, so they had to put down their sabers.
After setting up the scene and sending the frightened prince and princess back to the palace, the emperor finally sat down, looked at his son and Qi Qinyue in front of him, and turned his gaze to Bai Shu who was aside.
"Brother Bai, I remember that you are pregnant..." the emperor asked as if suddenly remembering something.
"Your Majesty remembers correctly, I just gave birth to a son today, a brother." Bai Shu said.
Only then did the emperor gasp, looked him up and down and said, "Give me a seat, Brother Bai, you saved me today, what do you want?"
Bai Shu thought for a while, he had everything, and he didn't seem to want anything.He shook his head and said, "I can't think of anything."
The second prince Zhao Liang who was on the side saw this and said: "The Xie family just got a brother, so why not give the child a name."
The emperor heard the words and said: "You have given birth to a child, and you are still fighting outside like this, what about your husband?"
Bai Shu said: "Your Majesty, Xie Huaiyu is in the scientific examination, and now she is still locked up in the examination institute and has not come out."
Zhao Liang quickly said from the side: "In order to prevent the candidates from being affected, I have sent people to guard outside the courtyard. The scientific examination is still going on normally."
"You did a good job." The emperor said after hearing the words: "Well, this brother of the Xie family was born at such a critical juncture and has such parents. It is really a great honor. Let's call him Xie Rong."
Xie Rong, the name Baishu sounded nice, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then the emperor waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, I'll talk about this reward later, let me rest today, brother Bai, you also need to go back to your residence to rest as soon as possible."
"Yes." Bai Shu thanked, then left the hall and walked out, he was already exhausted and needed a good night's sleep.
In the examination hall, after yesterday and night, the flames of the imperial city have now been subdued.
None of the candidates slept, and now they are all sleepy, so sleepy that they can't even open their eyes.
The chief examiner checked the time and announced the exam questions for the third day.
Xie Huaiyu read the exam questions, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote his thoughts on the manuscript paper.
In the early hours of this morning, the commotion outside gradually subsided, presumably the palace change had been suppressed.
Xie Huaiyu was in the examination institute at this time, and he couldn't take into account the outside situation, so he could only answer the questions carefully and do his best in this examination, so as not to waste everyone's hardships outside.
He was eager in his heart, and the speed of writing was even faster.
The exam questions on the third day were also transcribed before noon.
Xie Huaiyu handed over all the test papers for the three days to the chief examiner, and then patiently sat on the couch and waited until the unitary hour passed and the bell rang for the end of the test before the examination hall was opened from the outside.
The first ones to go out were all the examiners and those caught cheating. After they went out, it was the students' turn.
Xie Huaiyu impatiently followed behind and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Qi Qinyue, but he didn't see Zhongli and Baishu.
But seeing Qi Qinyue's expression, Xie Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking about it, everything is fine, nothing serious.
"Did Bai Shu give birth?" Xie Huaiyu asked Qi Qinyue after getting into the carriage.
If he hadn't given birth, he should be the first to pick him up instead of asking Qi Qinyue to pick him up.
"I gave birth yesterday." Qi Qinyue said: "Your madam is really powerful. She gave birth to a child on her front foot, and went out to kill people on her back foot, and then went to the palace to rescue him. The doctor said that he was injured, so he must take good care of him. , don’t blame him when you go back.”
When Xie Huaiyu heard this, her heart ached.How could he blame Bai Shu, he only hated himself for being useless, but at the critical moment, he was locked in the examination academy and couldn't get out.
After returning to Xie's house, Xie Huaiyu went straight to the courtyard, Bai Shu was lying on the bed at this time, but woke up.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's return, his eyes lit up, he just stared at him and said, "Xie Huaiyu, you've lost weight in just three days."
"You've lost a lot of weight!" Xie Huaiyu sat down beside the bed with great distress.
At this time, everyone automatically avoided, leaving them as husband and wife.
"The child has been born, he is a brother." Bai Shu said, "It's just that I drank the medicine earlier, so I can only leave the nurturing to the nanny."
"It's okay, you should have a good rest." Xie Huaiyu said, "How did the doctor explain to you?"
Bai Shu seemed to be afraid of Xie Huaiyu's anger, and said in a low voice: "The doctor said that I have hurt my vitality, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to conceive in the future..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Huaiyu, his eyes were dark.
Xie Huaiyu looked very pitiful, couldn't help but kissed him on the eyelid and said: "Then don't have another child, it would be nice if we have a brother."
"The heir to the Xie family..."
"Doesn't Xie Qi have a son? Bring him up well." Xie Huaiyu said.
He was more willing to conceive his own child with Bai Shu, but if Bai Shu couldn't have a child because of his health, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt a child from Xie's family to inherit the title.
"The emperor gave our child a name." Bai Shu said suddenly.
At this time, Xie Huaiyu frowned and said regretfully: "My child was named by someone else..."
"It's called Xie Rong." Bai Shu said.
Xie Huaiyu sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's not ugly."
At this time, he remembered that he had never seen this newborn brother, so he recruited the wet nurse.
After a while, the nurse came in with a small wrinkled child in her arms. The child was only a little bigger than a palm, and he was red like a little old man, with only half of the hair growing on the top of his head. Thank you.
"Why is it so ugly? It doesn't look like you at all." Xie Huaiyu was hit hard and couldn't help complaining.
"The eyebrows and eyes are similar to yours, how ugly." Bai Shu disagreed and said, "I asked Lin Shuyu, children are born like this, and they will look better when they grow up."
At this time, the nurse said from the side: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, Brother Bai, don't look at this child who is red now, he will definitely have white skin in the future. This appearance is like the two of you, and he is also peerless."
Hearing what the wet nurse said, the child seemed to know that he was praising himself. Although his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Bai Shu grabbed Xie Huaiyu's finger and placed it next to the baby's little hand, saying: "Xie Rong, this is your father. Come and recognize it."
Xie Rong opened his small mouth, squeaked twice, waved his small fist a few times, lightly put it on Xie Huaiyu's hand, and clenched it tightly.
He was only two days old, and his small hand couldn't wrap a single finger of Xie Huaiyu.
The moment Xie Huaiyu was held, his heart jumped a few times. Seeing the little baby grabbing his hand and not letting go, a feeling of blood connection surged from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the child again, I feel that it doesn't seem so ugly anymore.
The upturned nose and upturned mouth still look a little bit like Atractylodes macrocephala.
A few days later, the emperor returned to court, appointed the second prince Zhong Li as the crown prince, and executed those who participated in the rebellion that day.
The Qi family, Lou family, Fang family and other planners were all copied and executed.Because of the blood connection between the families, it is really intricate, and the nine families are no longer punished because of the relatives of each family.
Zhao Yang was insane, and was carefully taken care of by the emperor in his former bedroom.
But in a few days, he was found hanged on the beam of the house, and it is not known where he got the white silk.
Losing another beloved son, the emperor was deeply saddened, but he didn't investigate the reason, but buried him with the honor of a prince.
Zhao Yan's body was hastily wrapped in a straw mat and buried outside the city.
After his death, he was still demoted to a commoner and took away his surname. Naturally, his concubine who was pregnant could not stay, and all of his descendants were beheaded.
On the contrary, the Xie family and the Qi family, who had made great contributions in rescuing him this time, have gone one step further.
The emperor greatly rewarded Lord Xie, and granted Baishu a first-grade imperial order.Brother Xie was given a name as soon as he was born, and he was given the title of princess.
Xie Huaiyu said with a wry smile, now the wife and son in the family have official titles, but he is the only one who has no fame.
But after a few more days, the test results came out.
Xie Huaiyu went into the palace for a test, and when he came out, he made a list and named him the number one scholar in the scientific examination.
But for some reason, a rumor suddenly spread in Beijing.Everyone said that Xie Huaiyu's No. [-] scholar was awarded because of his wife's meritorious service in rescuing him, not his real ability.
Only the examiners knew that Xie Huaiyu's papers were indeed first-class. The emperor originally wanted to give him a Tanhua Lang to do it, but after reading the test papers, he was full of praise, and directly named the top one.
Xie Huaiyu listened to these misunderstandings in Jingzhong, but did not refute them, and only jokingly said to Bai Shu: "Daughter-in-law, it's all thanks to you that I won the No. [-] Scholar this time."
But Bai Shu didn't believe it, so he just said to him: "Your Majesty has already rewarded me for my merits, and it is because of you that I can choose you as the number one scholar."
Seeing his serious appearance, Xie Huaiyu felt very beautiful in his heart, hearing his lover praise him always made him very happy.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's perfunctory appearance, Bai Shu was more serious, so he frowned and said seriously: "I really think so, you can believe it, your talent and learning are really good, the best in the publicity."
Xie Huaiyu was the one who hugged him, blocked his words with a kiss, and sighed in his heart: This daughter-in-law of mine is the best in the announcement.
The author has something to say: The main text is over~ It is a very vulgar happy ending, but I like happy endings hahaha.
Looking back, it has been three months since I wrote this book!Thanks to all the genuine readers who have always supported me, and those little angels who poured mine into the nutrient solution!All the first [-] comments today will be given red envelopes!
In the future, it will be updated daily or dropped the next day depending on the situation. I will write the extra content on the title for the convenience of everyone to skip.You can choose what you want to watch
More than a dozen heads fell to the ground in disarray, and their eyes widened in horror.
The 13-year-old Zhao Yang stood next to his mother, watching the girls he saw every day being separated, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand up.
"Old thing! You are really unfeeling. Concubine Chen Gui has been with you for ten years, and she is still Xing'er's mother. Are you not afraid of having nightmares when you see her die like this?" Zhao Yan scolded.
"You killed the man, what kind of nightmare did I have?" The old emperor said coldly, his eyes were cloudy and sharp, and fell on his eldest son like a knife: "Chen Guifei died for the country. After I get out of trouble, I will reward her and give her the glory of the Chen family. For you... You are a descendant of the Zhao family, but you are a descendant of the Zhao family. , you are not allowed to enter the Zhao family’s ancestor’s grave even if you die, and be enshrined by the royal family’s incense!”
"If I ascend the throne, I will naturally be enshrined by the royal family! What is your turn to say?" The emperor's words completely angered Zhao Yan.
His face twitched a few times, and he dragged a man out of the princes and said, "Since your concubine's death is not a pity, then I will take the knife from your children. Tiger poison does not eat children. If you sign the edict now, I will kill you." There is still a way for them to survive, if they don't follow, then none of them will be left behind!"
He dragged out that the man was an elder brother, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was on good terms with Zhao Liang on weekdays, and because he was born before the emperor boarded the plane, he was deeply doted on, and he had already disliked him.
"Father, Father, I don't want to die—" the brother screamed terribly.
They turned their heads and kowtowed: "Mother, I'm just a brother, I can't inherit the throne, let me go!"
Empress Qi raised her eyebrows coldly and said: "It's not up to me whether I let you go or not, it depends on what your father wants, if he values the power in his hands more than the lives of his children , then you can’t blame me.”
At this time, the old emperor thought of the bond between himself and this brother, and finally there was a trace of grief in his eyes. He lowered his head and said: "Sheng'er, you are the blood of the Zhao family, so you can be regarded as being loyal to the Zhao family. without you..."
At this moment, the brother resigned himself to his fate, he let out all his strength and let out a long sigh, staring blankly at Zhao Yang's direction.
Zhao Yan hated the old emperor's ruthlessness even more. For the sake of the country in his hands, he didn't even care about his own children!No wonder he was so cruel to himself!
As soon as he waved his hand, the sergeant next to him raised his knife and dropped his head. Gululu rolled into Zhao Yang's arms, and his eyes were still fixed on him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———'
"Yang'er..." Empress Qi rushed to help him up, but saw that his face was livid and he had peed on his pants.
"Hurry up and send it to the imperial doctor!" Empress Qi shouted while pinching the middle of the crowd for her youngest son.
Zhao Yan said impatiently: "It's such a small matter, so timid! My brother is too weak!"
At this time, Zhao Yang was pinched several times by Empress Qi before he woke up, but his expression was muddled, his whole body was trembling, he seemed to be stupid, and he was still muttering something.
Empress Qi felt distressed and asked the palace servants to sit him in a corner of the palace. At this time, the imperial doctor was dragged in and looked at such a bloody scene, his heart skipped a beat.
After diagnosing Zhao Yang, he said tremblingly, "Emperor...Empress...Little Prince...seems to be crazy..."
When the old emperor heard the words at this time, he laughed wryly, tears overflowing from his laughter: "Mr. Qi! Your own son! Frightened mad by you! This is your retribution."
Zhao Yang was born when he loved the Qi family the most, and he is also a man, so his relationship is naturally unusual.
The old emperor grieved in her heart, and every sentence she said pierced Qi Hou's heart. She trembled like paper and said, "Impossible! How could I, Yang'er, be so crazy? It's just that I was so frightened for a while that I drove this Mongolian doctor away." Cut it off for me!"
"And you princes and princesses! Not one of them will be kept! Behead them all!" Qi said angrily: "Yan'er, if your father doesn't want to sign this edict, then he doesn't need to sign it! If he dies, you will be the son of the imperial edict." The eldest son, the future emperor! What are the others talking about?"
Zhao Yan frowned and was hesitating when his counselor stepped forward to persuade him: "You must not, if there is no imperial edict, you will be dishonest. Zhao Liang bought people's hearts, and the generals in northern Xinjiang have no relationship with him. Well, if we fight back at that time, our troops may not be able to support it!"
Zhao Yan was agitated when he heard the words, neither this nor that, but the old emperor refused to sign the edict!
At this moment, a soldier rushed into the hall to report: "Your Highness! The north gate of the imperial city has been broken open by a team. At this time, the battle is fierce there, and the north corner building is already on fire!"
"It's all useless trash!" Zhao Yan yelled angrily, and kicked the soldier: "I have [-] elite soldiers guarding the imperial city, how could they be broken open! What are they for?"
Then the soldier stood up and said: "It's a secret operation in the city. A group of people immediately joined forces and opened the city gate. There are about a hundred people. They are mixed in the army. We don't know which ones are enemies and which ones are friends... ..."
"Whose team is it!" Zhao Yan was furious, his army had been infiltrated with secret agents, so it must be Zhao Liang's handwriting!
It's just that at this moment, the other party is calling in, the palace is no longer safe, what should he do?
"Your Majesty, Zhao Liang has no soldiers in his hands. The ones coming this time must be Qi Qinyue's troops. He has 9000 troops in the outskirts of Beijing. Compared with our [-] people, the disparity in strength is not to be feared." The adviser next to him said.
Hearing their persuasion, Zhao Yan felt a little more at ease, yes, the soldiers raised by him and the Qi family were enough to deal with the opponent, Zhao Liang's [-] troops, even including those traitors, his number was still much larger than him!
"Strictly guard it!" Zhao Yan said and sent some more people to guard the north gate.There were originally [-] elite soldiers outside his palace, but at this time, he had mobilized another [-] soldiers, leaving only [-] soldiers.
At this moment, on the roof of the imperial palace, Bai Shu was dressed in black, lying on the top of the eaves.
Although he took a rest just now, he took some food and his body felt much more comfortable.But after all, the person who had just given birth had only recovered [-]% of her physical strength after another battle.
Although he wrapped his abdomen tightly with a white cloth, there was still some blood dripping underneath. The doctor also told him, told him not to move violently, and gave him a potion to stop the bleeding, so as not to bleed too much .
This brother's body is so annoying, Bai Shu's heart is restless!
But at this time, there are difficulties in the palace, and he can't take care of other things. If Zhao Yan ascends the throne, the Xie family will be the first to be wiped out. He will never let himself and Xie Huaiyu go!
After a while, he saw dozens of soldiers guarding a side hall.
Bai Shu nimbly flew over to inquire, and saw that the courtiers who had disappeared for a few days were imprisoned in the palace, and his father-in-law, Lord Xie, was also among them.
These ministers are all veteran ministers of Xuan Xuan, and they are also intertwined with various forces.
Zhao Yan detained them here, presumably he did not dare to do it lightly, if his actions were too big and the big families in Beijing would attack them, his position as emperor would not be secure.
Bai Shu rolled his eyes, deliberately and quietly removed a piece of glazed tile, and quickly hit the soldier on duty in the distance.
"Who!" The soldier was walking when he was suddenly hit by someone, and he yelled in shock.
Immediately, many soldiers rushed over, leaving a gap outside the hall.
Bai Shu slid down from the roof, wiping his neck with a dagger in each hand, killing two of them, and opened the palace door.
Seeing that the door opened suddenly, all the ministers rushed out immediately, and saw that the person standing at the door seemed familiar, Lord Xie pointed at him in shock and said, "You, you, you - why are you here!"
"My daughter-in-law has come to rescue my father!" Bai Shu said unhurriedly.
"Your child!" Lord Xie opened his eyes wide, looking at his deflated stomach.
"The birth is over..." Bai Shu said succinctly: "This is not the time to talk about these things, everyone hurry out."
These courtiers followed him and ran out.
At this time, the soldiers guarding outside came to their senses and discovered the movement from this side, and immediately rushed over with their knives in hand.
Those detained here were all civil servants, all of them powerless. Seeing so many ferocious soldiers, they immediately trembled with fright.
Seeing this, Bai Shu directed them to gather in one place.Picking up two sabers from the soldier's body, he rushed over and started killing.In a short while, all the dozens of guards were killed without leaving a piece of armor.
"This...this is your daughter-in-law..." Lord Liu asked with a trembling beard, pointing at Bai Shu's back.
"Yes!" Sir Xie was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "It's my daughter-in-law! Thanks to my blessing today, you were rescued. Remember to be grateful after you go out!"
The corner of Master Liu's mouth twitched, but at this moment he couldn't refute Lord Xie's words.
Just now, the image of Xie's daughter-in-law killing people like chopping vegetables was still reflected in his mind repeatedly, making him respect and fear at the same time.
Bai Shu turned around at this time and said: "You follow me, go out first and then talk."
He led the people all the way towards the west gate, and a courtier said behind him: "I'm afraid there are soldiers guarding that place..."
Then Bai Shu smiled and said, "It's okay, no one will stop me."
It turned out that that was where Zhao Liang's large army was located.The generals guarding the city were from Zhao Liang, and they were deeply trusted by Zhao Yan.
The [-]-man vanguard at the north gate were just those who surrendered from the Xie family just now. They were told to sneak in through the west gate, open the north gate to disturb sight, and then attack with thousands of troops from the north gate, attacking east and west.
And the remaining [-] soldiers and horses quietly waited at the west gate with the [-] troops formed by the supporters in the city.
After Bai Shu led all the courtiers out, Zhao Liang said to Qi Qinyue, "Ziyun, the time has come!"
"Yes!" Qi Qinyue gave an order, and the army rushed into the imperial city with a vicious momentum, and within a few breaths, they arrived at the palace where the emperor was imprisoned.
"Your Highness! They're coming in from outside! There are a lot of people!" The soldiers guarding outside the hall came rushing to report.
Now there are only two thousand troops outside the hall, but so many people came here suddenly.Zhao Yan was terrified, and he didn't know where so many enemy troops came from.
"How is it possible!" Zhao Yan couldn't believe it, and opened the palace door to look, but was almost shot by the flying arrows.
"Yan'er, your big plan is probably hopeless..." The old emperor shook his head and said, "If you succeed in forcing the palace, you will be considered smart for a while. It's just that you have such a mind, you will definitely not be able to achieve great things, but you will only be trapped in a cocoon. You Younger brother Zhao Liang is more than a hundred times stronger than you, even if he doesn't come now, you will be surrounded by his troops in the future."
"Shut up!" Zhao Yan was still listening to the old emperor comparing him with Zhao Liang, his eyes were red, and he pointed at the other party with twitching veins and shouted: "Even if this is the case, you can't live, you think Zhao Liang will Give you a way to survive? He wished you were dead so that he could ascend the throne and become emperor himself!"
"Hahahaha." The old emperor sneered and said, "I am trapped here by you, so I have no hope of surviving. It's just that this great Xuan Jiangshan must not be handed over to you, otherwise I will definitely change Zhao's surname to Qi. I At this age, under the nine springs, you have to face the ancestors of the Zhao family with face."
"Then go see the ancestors of the Zhao family now!" Zhao Yan said as he snatched a saber from the guard at the side, and slashed at the emperor.
The blade came oncoming, and the old emperor closed his eyes.Although he had made the decision to die in his heart long ago, his whole body was still tense at the moment of life and death, and countless fragments flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern.
With a bang, the sound of the blade falling to the ground sounded.
When the old emperor opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yan clutching the hand that had just held the knife, his wrist was pierced by something, blood was flowing.
The door of the hall was wide open, and a brother in black stood at the door at some point, holding a knife in one hand and resting it on Qi Hou's neck.
The emperor took a closer look, only to realize that this brother looked very familiar, it seemed to be the brother Xie Huaiyu married!
"It's you!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's you who ruined my good deeds again!"
Zhao Yan didn't care about the pain in his wrist, he hurriedly picked up the saber and put it on the old emperor's neck.
There are more than a dozen Zhao Yan soldiers in the main hall, but there is only one Bai Shu.But Bai Shu held Empress Qi hostage, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
"You can't escape." Bai Shu said: "The imperial city has been broken, and General Qi is on his way back. All the ministers you captured have been rescued, and they can all prove that you forced the palace."
"Even if you kill the emperor at this time, it is a serious crime committed by rebellion. You will be wiped out later. What's the point?" Bai Shu said lightly: "Those of you who followed Zhao Yan in the rebellion, surrendered at this time, only one person died, and the family members are still alive." I can survive. If you are obsessed with your mistakes, it will be a great crime that implicates the entire family."
Having said that, Bai Shu frowned.He can't accept this kind of behavior where one person breaks the law, implicates the whole family or kills the whole family, but at this time, for the sake of expediency, he has to say it.
The emperor also said at this time when he heard the words: "Yes, surrender at this time, I guarantee that this matter will not implicate your family members. If you are obsessed with obsession, then no wonder I am ruthless."
At this time, the gladiatorial fight outside the hall was also overwhelming. Zhao Yan's two thousand elite soldiers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
The soldiers in the temple looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, as if they had figured it out, they threw the sabers in their hands on the ground.
There was a hint of despair in Zhao Yan's eyes, but he still hated this father who took away his crown prince, even if he was going to die, he would bring him with him!
He had a ferocious face, and the blade in his hand was exerting force, but before the blade fell, an arrow pierced through his head, and he fell to the ground completely dead.
"Yan'er—" Empress Qi uttered a shrill cry, and slumped on the ground.
Zhao Liang walked in from the door, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and said, "Father, it's too late to save the child."
"You have tried your best." The emperor sighed.
At first, he even thought that the second son who had no relationship with him would come here, but now that he could come to rescue him in person, it was beyond his expectation.
A group of soldiers stepped forward and detained Empress Qi and his son Zhao Yang.The emperor walked out of the palace gate supported by Zhao Liang, and shouted: "Zhao Yan is dead, the rebels surrender quickly, or they will all be killed!"
At this time, those who were still stubbornly resisting knew that the situation was over, so they had to put down their sabers.
After setting up the scene and sending the frightened prince and princess back to the palace, the emperor finally sat down, looked at his son and Qi Qinyue in front of him, and turned his gaze to Bai Shu who was aside.
"Brother Bai, I remember that you are pregnant..." the emperor asked as if suddenly remembering something.
"Your Majesty remembers correctly, I just gave birth to a son today, a brother." Bai Shu said.
Only then did the emperor gasp, looked him up and down and said, "Give me a seat, Brother Bai, you saved me today, what do you want?"
Bai Shu thought for a while, he had everything, and he didn't seem to want anything.He shook his head and said, "I can't think of anything."
The second prince Zhao Liang who was on the side saw this and said: "The Xie family just got a brother, so why not give the child a name."
The emperor heard the words and said: "You have given birth to a child, and you are still fighting outside like this, what about your husband?"
Bai Shu said: "Your Majesty, Xie Huaiyu is in the scientific examination, and now she is still locked up in the examination institute and has not come out."
Zhao Liang quickly said from the side: "In order to prevent the candidates from being affected, I have sent people to guard outside the courtyard. The scientific examination is still going on normally."
"You did a good job." The emperor said after hearing the words: "Well, this brother of the Xie family was born at such a critical juncture and has such parents. It is really a great honor. Let's call him Xie Rong."
Xie Rong, the name Baishu sounded nice, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then the emperor waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, I'll talk about this reward later, let me rest today, brother Bai, you also need to go back to your residence to rest as soon as possible."
"Yes." Bai Shu thanked, then left the hall and walked out, he was already exhausted and needed a good night's sleep.
In the examination hall, after yesterday and night, the flames of the imperial city have now been subdued.
None of the candidates slept, and now they are all sleepy, so sleepy that they can't even open their eyes.
The chief examiner checked the time and announced the exam questions for the third day.
Xie Huaiyu read the exam questions, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote his thoughts on the manuscript paper.
In the early hours of this morning, the commotion outside gradually subsided, presumably the palace change had been suppressed.
Xie Huaiyu was in the examination institute at this time, and he couldn't take into account the outside situation, so he could only answer the questions carefully and do his best in this examination, so as not to waste everyone's hardships outside.
He was eager in his heart, and the speed of writing was even faster.
The exam questions on the third day were also transcribed before noon.
Xie Huaiyu handed over all the test papers for the three days to the chief examiner, and then patiently sat on the couch and waited until the unitary hour passed and the bell rang for the end of the test before the examination hall was opened from the outside.
The first ones to go out were all the examiners and those caught cheating. After they went out, it was the students' turn.
Xie Huaiyu impatiently followed behind and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Qi Qinyue, but he didn't see Zhongli and Baishu.
But seeing Qi Qinyue's expression, Xie Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking about it, everything is fine, nothing serious.
"Did Bai Shu give birth?" Xie Huaiyu asked Qi Qinyue after getting into the carriage.
If he hadn't given birth, he should be the first to pick him up instead of asking Qi Qinyue to pick him up.
"I gave birth yesterday." Qi Qinyue said: "Your madam is really powerful. She gave birth to a child on her front foot, and went out to kill people on her back foot, and then went to the palace to rescue him. The doctor said that he was injured, so he must take good care of him. , don’t blame him when you go back.”
When Xie Huaiyu heard this, her heart ached.How could he blame Bai Shu, he only hated himself for being useless, but at the critical moment, he was locked in the examination academy and couldn't get out.
After returning to Xie's house, Xie Huaiyu went straight to the courtyard, Bai Shu was lying on the bed at this time, but woke up.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's return, his eyes lit up, he just stared at him and said, "Xie Huaiyu, you've lost weight in just three days."
"You've lost a lot of weight!" Xie Huaiyu sat down beside the bed with great distress.
At this time, everyone automatically avoided, leaving them as husband and wife.
"The child has been born, he is a brother." Bai Shu said, "It's just that I drank the medicine earlier, so I can only leave the nurturing to the nanny."
"It's okay, you should have a good rest." Xie Huaiyu said, "How did the doctor explain to you?"
Bai Shu seemed to be afraid of Xie Huaiyu's anger, and said in a low voice: "The doctor said that I have hurt my vitality, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to conceive in the future..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Huaiyu, his eyes were dark.
Xie Huaiyu looked very pitiful, couldn't help but kissed him on the eyelid and said: "Then don't have another child, it would be nice if we have a brother."
"The heir to the Xie family..."
"Doesn't Xie Qi have a son? Bring him up well." Xie Huaiyu said.
He was more willing to conceive his own child with Bai Shu, but if Bai Shu couldn't have a child because of his health, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt a child from Xie's family to inherit the title.
"The emperor gave our child a name." Bai Shu said suddenly.
At this time, Xie Huaiyu frowned and said regretfully: "My child was named by someone else..."
"It's called Xie Rong." Bai Shu said.
Xie Huaiyu sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's not ugly."
At this time, he remembered that he had never seen this newborn brother, so he recruited the wet nurse.
After a while, the nurse came in with a small wrinkled child in her arms. The child was only a little bigger than a palm, and he was red like a little old man, with only half of the hair growing on the top of his head. Thank you.
"Why is it so ugly? It doesn't look like you at all." Xie Huaiyu was hit hard and couldn't help complaining.
"The eyebrows and eyes are similar to yours, how ugly." Bai Shu disagreed and said, "I asked Lin Shuyu, children are born like this, and they will look better when they grow up."
At this time, the nurse said from the side: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, Brother Bai, don't look at this child who is red now, he will definitely have white skin in the future. This appearance is like the two of you, and he is also peerless."
Hearing what the wet nurse said, the child seemed to know that he was praising himself. Although his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Bai Shu grabbed Xie Huaiyu's finger and placed it next to the baby's little hand, saying: "Xie Rong, this is your father. Come and recognize it."
Xie Rong opened his small mouth, squeaked twice, waved his small fist a few times, lightly put it on Xie Huaiyu's hand, and clenched it tightly.
He was only two days old, and his small hand couldn't wrap a single finger of Xie Huaiyu.
The moment Xie Huaiyu was held, his heart jumped a few times. Seeing the little baby grabbing his hand and not letting go, a feeling of blood connection surged from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the child again, I feel that it doesn't seem so ugly anymore.
The upturned nose and upturned mouth still look a little bit like Atractylodes macrocephala.
A few days later, the emperor returned to court, appointed the second prince Zhong Li as the crown prince, and executed those who participated in the rebellion that day.
The Qi family, Lou family, Fang family and other planners were all copied and executed.Because of the blood connection between the families, it is really intricate, and the nine families are no longer punished because of the relatives of each family.
Zhao Yang was insane, and was carefully taken care of by the emperor in his former bedroom.
But in a few days, he was found hanged on the beam of the house, and it is not known where he got the white silk.
Losing another beloved son, the emperor was deeply saddened, but he didn't investigate the reason, but buried him with the honor of a prince.
Zhao Yan's body was hastily wrapped in a straw mat and buried outside the city.
After his death, he was still demoted to a commoner and took away his surname. Naturally, his concubine who was pregnant could not stay, and all of his descendants were beheaded.
On the contrary, the Xie family and the Qi family, who had made great contributions in rescuing him this time, have gone one step further.
The emperor greatly rewarded Lord Xie, and granted Baishu a first-grade imperial order.Brother Xie was given a name as soon as he was born, and he was given the title of princess.
Xie Huaiyu said with a wry smile, now the wife and son in the family have official titles, but he is the only one who has no fame.
But after a few more days, the test results came out.
Xie Huaiyu went into the palace for a test, and when he came out, he made a list and named him the number one scholar in the scientific examination.
But for some reason, a rumor suddenly spread in Beijing.Everyone said that Xie Huaiyu's No. [-] scholar was awarded because of his wife's meritorious service in rescuing him, not his real ability.
Only the examiners knew that Xie Huaiyu's papers were indeed first-class. The emperor originally wanted to give him a Tanhua Lang to do it, but after reading the test papers, he was full of praise, and directly named the top one.
Xie Huaiyu listened to these misunderstandings in Jingzhong, but did not refute them, and only jokingly said to Bai Shu: "Daughter-in-law, it's all thanks to you that I won the No. [-] Scholar this time."
But Bai Shu didn't believe it, so he just said to him: "Your Majesty has already rewarded me for my merits, and it is because of you that I can choose you as the number one scholar."
Seeing his serious appearance, Xie Huaiyu felt very beautiful in his heart, hearing his lover praise him always made him very happy.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's perfunctory appearance, Bai Shu was more serious, so he frowned and said seriously: "I really think so, you can believe it, your talent and learning are really good, the best in the publicity."
Xie Huaiyu was the one who hugged him, blocked his words with a kiss, and sighed in his heart: This daughter-in-law of mine is the best in the announcement.
The author has something to say: The main text is over~ It is a very vulgar happy ending, but I like happy endings hahaha.
Looking back, it has been three months since I wrote this book!Thanks to all the genuine readers who have always supported me, and those little angels who poured mine into the nutrient solution!All the first [-] comments today will be given red envelopes!
In the future, it will be updated daily or dropped the next day depending on the situation. I will write the extra content on the title for the convenience of everyone to skip.You can choose what you want to watch
