Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Successor
Faced with these camel lines of defense, the first thing she thought of was white phosphorus, which has a low melting point and can spontaneously combust in the air.
At this juncture, she had no time to make sophisticated white phosphorus bombs, so she only asked the soldiers of the firearms battalion to make rougher white phosphorus incendiary bombs according to the ratio she wrote.
White phosphorus can spontaneously combust when exposed to air. The temperature generated by the combustion can even reach over one thousand degrees, and the gases produced are toxic.
Once people come into contact with or inhale the burning gas, it will cause irreversible damage.
Although the weapon she made was crude, it was still invincible in the era of cold weapons.
The Firearms Battalion had limited white phosphorus and could only produce more than twenty strange shells the size of watermelons. No one knew what they were or how powerful they were.
Chu Xian had his men prepare slingshots, and wearing armor, he rushed to the place closest to the front line under the escort of a large number of guards.
The morale of the Qing soldiers was low and they were increasingly at a disadvantage.
"I obey His Majesty's command! Deserters will be subject to military court! Continue to lead the troops in the attack. I swear to fight you to the death."
The soldiers now had a backbone, and after a brief period of confusion, their morale was restored.
However, the Camel Line of Defense was too strange, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Qing soldiers still suffered heavy casualties and could only bite the bullet and send reinforcements, trying to resist with their flesh and blood.
In the moment of despair, all I could hear were terrifying roars and explosions.
Huge fireballs filled with thick black smoke were hurled at the Camel Line by catapults.
Everyone thought that the fireballs were still the same as before and had no effect.
Until the indestructible camel line burst into flames several feet high, the Qing soldiers were dumbfounded, and finally they excitedly followed the queen to continue charging forward.
The strange fireball was like an eternal punishment from heaven, gradually igniting the endless camel front.
The enemy soldiers who were burned into incense fled in panic from the line of fire, screaming and howling.
No one knew what this evil firework was, and not even water could completely extinguish it until it consumed everything and reduced it to ashes.
Amidst the chaos, Chu Xian saw a man being escorted away from the sea of fire.
"Khan! If you dare to invade the borders of the Qing Dynasty again, you will be punished no matter how far away you are!" Chu Xian shouted at the top of her lungs.
The man's eyes were filled with hatred, and he stared at her fiercely with a sinister look.
Chu Xian smiled and raised the 28-round tunnel-fire rifle, and the sound of musket fire continued to ring out.
The guards around the big man were beaten to pieces in an instant, but soon someone rushed over to help him escape.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the Dzungar army finally retreated across the board at dawn.
"The Queen has ordered! Do not let the bandits go! Kill them!!"
Chu Xian was covered in blood and shouted at the Qing soldiers whose morale was greatly boosted.
In this bloody battle, the Qing Dynasty turned defeat into victory, while the bandits of the Dzungar Khanate suffered heavy casualties and were almost wiped out.
Presumably, in the short term, the Dzungars could only huddle in the Dzungar royal court and eat sand, and would no longer have the strength to invade and harass the Qing Dynasty and the grasslands.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"
The soldiers were excited and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Chu Xian smiled and finally took the time to wipe the blood off her face.
"Send the victory report, officer of the court, and record this moment in detail."
"Your humble servant obeys your order."
Hearing the familiar clear voice, Chu Xian turned around in surprise and looked at the graceful figure behind her.
"Master Chen?"
Chen Qingyan bowed and said, "I, Chen Qingyan, the Imperial Academy Reader, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"When did you come? I have never seen you here before."
She had been supervising the battle day and night these days and had never paid attention to who the official responsible for recording the queen's daily life was. She didn't expect that it would be an old acquaintance.
"I came here in person with the Empress."
No one in the Hanlin Academy was willing to write for the Demon Queen, so Chen Qingyan came. He was worried that she would die on the battlefield and no one would be willing to collect her body.
"Master Chen..." Chu Xian bit her lip, feeling more shy than ever before. "Could you please write about me... not so hateful and abominable?"
No one is not afraid of being infamous for eternity, and she is no exception.
Chen Qingyan paused for a moment and nodded solemnly.
"Master Chen, I know I'm forcing you to do something difficult. It's okay. Please write the truth."
Chu Xian looked behind Chen Qingyan, but did not see the historian.
"Your Majesty, I will serve as your historian." Chen Qingyan noticed the sadness in her eyes and lowered his gaze. "Your Majesty, great victory is in sight. Please go back and rest. I will polish the text and then present it to you for proofreading."
"Ah...I see." Chu Xian pulled her lips in embarrassment. She was so disgusted by the gods that she couldn't even get a historian to accompany her.
"Thank you, Master Chen."
.....
In the spring of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, as great victories came one after another on the front lines, the court officials were filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
The Eighth Master and his party were in great sorrow, and the Ningshou Palace was filled with gloom and sadness.
In late spring in March, Wan Ning was wearing heavy armor, holding a blood-stained long sword, and looking up at the falling petals.
"Madam Chun, can you set a date for the Queen's triumphant return?"
Nanny Chun had a worried look on her face and was about to answer when she suddenly heard Su Peisheng sobbing from the Yangxin Palace.
"How can you depose the Queen at this time? She is still on the battlefield. If you depose her now, she will be in great danger of death."
"Eighth Lady, this is bad! Eighth Master... Eighth Master and his group are instigating the court officials to depose the Empress. Prince Yi couldn't withstand the pressure and just announced the decree to depose the Empress to the world! Wuuwuwuwu..."
Wan Ning gritted her teeth and sat back on the bench with tears in her eyes. "Su Peisheng, ask Prince Yi to grant me a divorce from Yinsi immediately in the name of the Emperor! Before Xian'er returns safely, even if the sky falls, I will not leave the Yangxin Palace for a single step."
"Why?! If there were no Queen, how could there be such a great victory at Hetongbo? It's outrageous!"
Wan Ning shouted angrily.
"Alas, the court needs an excuse to quell public anger more than the Queen, and the Queen's interference in politics is the best excuse..." Nanny Chun was in tears.
"Well, Xian'er finally got what she wanted. She's free now, no longer trapped as a prisoner in the Forbidden City."
Wan Ning lowered her head and wiped her tears: "It's better to leave."
Wan Ning looked up at the concubines kneeling in front of the Yangxin Palace, her eyes filled with disdain: "Why come back? To see his three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines? It would be better if he died sooner, and Xian'er came back and became the empress dowager directly."
The imperial edict deposing the empress was spread throughout the country at an urgent speed of 800 miles. On April 16, it was conveyed to the northwest army.
The commander-in-chief, Prince Heshuo Chun Yinyou, looked at his silent fourth sister-in-law with mixed feelings.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I will immediately write a memorial to express my sympathy for you."
"No need, Seventh Brother. You should know that this is the condition for the court to allow me to supervise the war. There is nothing wrong with it. The Qing Dynasty needs to depose the queen at this time."
Chu Xian put the packed bag on her back and walked out of the tent alone.
"Fourth sister-in-law, where are you going? Aren't you going to return to the court in person?"
After the fierce battle of Hetongpo, all the soldiers in the army completely submitted to the queen, and Yinyou also looked at his notorious fourth sister-in-law with new respect.
"You know, I can't go back, and I can't go back. Seventh brother, the Northwest Army is in your hands."
Yinyou remained silent. Even if the emperor's sister-in-law wanted to return to the capital, the journey would be like going through fire and water. From the court to the harem, many people did not want the deposed empress to successfully return to the capital.
It would be better to give the emperor's sister-in-law a chance to live.
Yinyou lifted his robe, bent his knees and prostrated himself before the Empress's horse: "Imperial sister-in-law, I wish you good luck and success in everything."
"Okay, thank you, Seventh Brother."
Chu Xian jumped onto the horse. She had an even more important mission to do, and she had to go there in person.
"Xianrong, escort Master Chen back to the capital."
"Your Majesty, I will be wherever you are." Xianrong bent her knees and blocked the way in front of the Queen's horse.
"There is no queen anymore. I am just a commoner, the deposed queen, Nara."
"Your Majesty, where are you going? I am willing to go with you." Chen Qingyan tore off the peacock feather on his hat and jumped onto the horse.
"Master Chen, you have a more important mission. I don't want to be scolded too badly by future generations. You know I care about face the most. I also beg Master Chen to clear my name."
She has to walk the next dead end alone.
Chen Qingyan tightened the reins and watched the queen leave with tears in his eyes.
Xianrong knelt on the ground and cried so hard that she was out of breath. A brocade box was stuffed into her hand.
"Miss Xianrong, please personally hand these manuscripts over to..." Chen Qingyan was speechless and didn't know who to hand them over to.
Now in the court, no one will protect the Demon Queen.
Chen Qingyan hesitated for a long time and finally thought of a candidate who was barely acceptable.
"Give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally." After Chen Qingyan said this, he kicked his horse's belly and rode away.
Chu Xian hid in the dense poplar forest, changed into ordinary herdsman's clothes, and when she rode out of the forest, she was surprised to find Chen Qingyan standing in front of the horse.
"Master Chen, why are you here?"
"Queen, where are you going? I am willing to accompany you."
"There is no queen. I am just a commoner, Ulanara Chuxian."
"Okay, Chu Xian, where are you going?" Chen Qingyan grabbed her reins.
Chu Xian had a playful smile on her face: "I'm going to die, are you willing to go to hell with me?"
She just didn't believe that this man was willing to risk his life for her just based on the shallow relationship they had shared for two short years.
"I do."
Chu Xian was stunned. The answer that came out almost without her knowledge made her at a loss as to what to do.
"Chen Qingyan, over the years, you must have married and had children, and started a family. How can you have the nerve to say you are willing? Have you ever considered your wife and children?"
All men in the world look like despicable people, always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl.
"I have never married, nor have I any children. There is only one old servant in my house."
"When you and I separated, we each had our own difficulties. I don't want to make things difficult for you." Chen Qingyan hesitated to speak.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity in this life, he and his beloved will never be able to stay together again.
Chu Xian stared at Chen Qingyan with a frown, understanding his hesitation to speak. Back then, that man must have used the imperial power to oppress Chen Qingyan and force him to leave her.
She had also heard about the grievances and entanglements between Chen Qingyan and the Chen family. He had once sworn a solemn oath to cut ties with the Chen family and never enter the court again in his life.
But he broke his oath. Not only did he enter the court as an official, he also became the new head of the Chen family, and firmly controlled the century-old Haining Chen clan.
"But...won't you ask me where I'm going? You're in such a high position of power now, are you willing to give it up?"
"Xian'er, if you were not isolated and helpless in the court and your family was not in decline, I would not have the time to enter the court!" Chen Qingyan said bluntly.
"I don't want you to be embarrassed, and I won't watch you being bullied. Xian'er, don't be afraid. I'm not dead yet. As long as I'm alive, I will protect you."
"Chen Qingyan..."
Chu Xian choked up and remained silent for a long time. She didn't expect that the person who stayed with her at the last moment was Chen Qingyan.
"Next life, I'll give you a chance. I've had a terrible life in this one, and I don't want to drag you down with me anymore."
"I am going to die with Nian Gengyao. You don't have to die with me. Go back first. If I can come back alive, I will definitely look for you and renew our relationship."
"Xian'er, no matter life or death, I will never leave you again."
When Chen Qingyan suddenly tightened her grip on her hand, Chu Xian hurriedly shook it off: "Chen Qingyan, I'm sorry, my heart has become as calm as water in this life."
She had been tortured by the ancients into being incapable of love and no longer wanted to be sad for anyone.
After dealing with the love-hate relationship with that man, she was half dead. She just wanted to live the rest of her life peacefully. After she died, she could return to the familiar future as soon as she opened her eyes.
Chu Xian didn't hesitate at all, jumped on the horse and left.
From that day on, no matter where she was, there was always a lonely figure following her.
On May 13, the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Chu Xian lay on her back on a grassland on the Great Wall, celebrating her 30th birthday.
"Xian'er, happy birthday." Chen Qingyan got a bowl of longevity noodles from somewhere, and there were two boiled eggs on the noodles.
"Chen Qingyan, we will arrive at the Fuyuan General's residence tomorrow. I will have a fierce battle with Nian Gengyao. You don't need to come with us."
Chen Qingyan said nothing, but quietly handed the longevity noodles to her lips.
Chu Xian had no choice but to take the chopsticks and finished the longevity noodles in silence. Chen Qingyan's stubbornness was beyond her imagination.
Chu Xian was overwhelmed. No matter what she did these days, she couldn't get rid of him.
Near midnight, a carriage suddenly appeared from the heart of the vast grassland, and two black-clad assassins emerged from the carriage.
Chu Xian gripped her sword tightly, no longer tired of the frequent assassinations.
"Whose lackeys are you? Tell me your names!"
"The traitorous ministers and evil queen who brought disaster to the country are all subject to punishment by all. We are only acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"What a good way to enforce justice." Chu Xian sneered, took out a musket from behind her waist, and sent the two assassins to hell in a few seconds.
At the same time, the Forbidden City was filled with gloom and sorrow. Today was the Empress' 30th birthday, and a celebration banquet was supposed to be held on her birthday.
But there is no queen in the Forbidden City today.
"I don't know where the Queen is now, and I wonder if she is doing well..." Su Peisheng was very sad.
"There is no queen anymore, only the deposed one. All of you treated our girl as a stepping stone. Now that you have used her up, you come and pretend to be merciful. Who are you doing this for?" Xian Rong gritted her teeth.
"If they wanted to, the Flying Guillotine could even dig up the coffins of rebels buried in secret and whip their corpses. But you, a living woman, disappeared right under the Flying Guillotine's nose. I wonder what your evil intentions are."
"Hey, stop talking about whether she is a girl or not. The queen is always the queen." Su Peisheng hurriedly lowered his voice.
"What are you afraid of? If the emperor could wake up, I would say a lot of things to get him beheaded. Without the empress, our daughter's life or death is uncertain. But he can just lie there and be praised by the people of the world."
"Su Peisheng! I won't serve you anymore! The young lady has given me, Nanny Chun, and all the servants in Jingren Palace permission to leave the Forbidden City at any time."
"I won't serve you anymore!" Xianrong said, then she threw the wet handkerchief into the golden basin and turned away.
"Oh, you're all so difficult to please, Your Majesty... If you don't wake up, what will the Empress do? More than a dozen waves of assassins have secretly traveled to the northwest this month."
Su Peisheng was kneeling in front of the Emperor's dragon bed, serving him. He was wiping his tears when suddenly a dark shadow appeared before his eyes.
.....
In the Grand Council, ever since his fourth brother fell ill and the Empress left Beijing to supervise the army, Prince Yi Yinxiang never left the Forbidden City, and he ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the Grand Council.
"Your Highness, Prince Lian and his gang have gathered the students from Jiangnan and are still causing trouble at the Imperial College."
"Hey, tell this to my eighth sister-in-law. She will handle it herself. If she can't handle it, put Aqina and Seth in the clan house and don't show any mercy."
Yinxiang had a splitting headache. Eighth Brother and his gang had become increasingly rampant recently. If it weren't for Eighth Sister-in-law's sake, Eighth Brother would have been executed countless times.
Yinxiang could no longer tolerate this and decided to break his promise to his fourth sister-in-law and bring the troublemaker Bage to justice.
"Your Highness, the situation of General Fuyuan, Nian Gengyao, colluding with court officials to nominate Concubine Nian as the successor is becoming increasingly serious. How can we find a reason to decline this time?"
"The Nian family has deep roots in the military, and even in the court, they can attract followers with just a wave of their arms."
"The Crown Prince is young, and his mother's family is in decline. How can they support the barrier of foreign relatives?"
"No! Zhang Tingyu, you can't appoint a successor under any circumstances, unless..." Yinxiang sighed.
Unless the fourth brother dies, in order to stabilize the government, the queen can only be Nara. Otherwise, if the fourth brother knew, I wonder what crazy things he would do for the fourth sister-in-law.
"Unless I die!"
A low angry roar came from outside the window. The important ministers looked at the red door in surprise, and saw the pale-faced Emperor slowly walking into the Military Affairs Office with the support of his servants.
"Fourth brother! You are finally awake." Yinxiang bent his knees and crawled at his fourth brother's feet. His shoulders hunched for a moment and he was too tired to straighten his back.
The three princes who heard the news had been frightened for the past few months, but now they finally found their backbone. They no longer cared about the royal etiquette and face, and hugged Khan Ama and sobbed softly.
"Khan Father, I want my mother. Where is my mother?" The fifth prince Hong Zhou cried heart-wrenchingly, his snot and tears stained Khan Father's dragon robe.
Yinzhen's eyes were filled with guilt. He held the three princes in his arms and sobbed silently.
That night, all 231 members of the Nian family were secretly executed. Nian Xiyao, the Minister in charge of the Imperial Household Department, sent a carrier pigeon to deliver a message at the last moment, but watched helplessly as the pigeon was shot to death.
The once powerful Nian Party was wiped out overnight.
Early the next morning, the concubines in the harem were divided into two factions. Led by Concubine Song and Concubine Nian, they gathered outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation overnight.
Concubine Nian had the powerful support of her natal family, so she naturally wanted to suppress Concubine Song. She led the concubines in the harem into the Yangxin Palace to meet the Emperor.
After all, Song was the Queen's confidant. When she saw the Emperor's sinister face, her heart began to beat fast and she quickly slowed down her pace.
"Your Majesty, I heard that your dragon body has recovered..."
Nian's eyes were full of shyness, and her clothes were fluttering in the wind.
With a "puff" sound, amid the flash of swords and shadows, Concubine Nian's bloody skull rolled to Song's feet.
Song suppressed her fear, lifted her high-heeled shoes, and stepped on Concubine Nian's head, which was still open.
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake. I beg you to welcome the Empress back to the Forbidden City." Song was trembling all over, crawling in the sea of blood.
"I refuse to accept the offer. The Queen has done nothing wrong. Why was she deposed? I want to plead on Her Majesty's behalf."
When the concubines present saw Concubine Song pleading for the empress, they were at a loss for a moment and followed Concubine Song in prostrating themselves on the ground, begging for mercy for the deposed empress.
In the Yangxin Palace, which was filled with the smell of blood, the only sound was the kowtows of the concubines.
However, the Manchu military concubines who came from noble families did not kneel.
These concubines all had the merit of following the emperor, and Concubine Xi, Niuhulu, was born into a family of servants in the imperial palace. Naturally, she would not lower herself to plead for mercy on behalf of the deposed empress.
The emperor held the sword with one hand, the blood on the sword had not yet dried, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly sneered and said, "Those who don't kneel will be killed!"
Seven or eight concubines who relied on the power of their natal families and the support of the empress dowager were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, that is...that is the Concubine Xi, Niuhuru, whom you conferred upon her!" Su Peisheng emphasized the words Niuhuru.
Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he conferred titles on many noble women in order to win over the nobles of the previous dynasty.
Concubine Xi, Niuhuru, was one of them.
Concubine Xi, Niuhuru, was the strongest rival of Concubine Nian in the competition for the position of empress. The Niuhuru clan colluded with the eight major Manchu families and vowed to exclude Concubine Nian, who was of Han origin, from the competition for the position of empress.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Prince Yi and a group of royal elders who hurried over were terrified.
Among the concubines whom the emperor ordered to be executed, all were noble women from the Manchu and Mongolian military flags. If these women were executed, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Manchu and Mongolian nobles.
But the emperor turned a deaf ear to it. Not only did he not withdraw the imperial edict, he even ordered all the ministers to enter the palace immediately to watch the execution.
Seven concubines were sentenced to death by beheading. After beheading the seven Manchu and Mongolian concubines, Emperor Yongzheng issued an order overnight to revoke the imperial edict to depose the empress.
An urgent decree of eight hundred miles was sent from the four cities to the four seas overnight.
At the same time, Chu Xian had just finished a fierce battle and never expected that she had become the common enemy of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han banners.
At this time, Chu Xian casually wedged the bloody long knife into the blood-stained meadow.
"I never thought that one day, the three banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han who had been fighting each other for many years would put aside their past grudges and unite against the common enemy because of me. The Manchu, Mongolian and Han peoples are like one family. I am the first contributor." Chu Xian laughed at herself with a wry smile.
"We are about to arrive at the Fuyuan General's Mansion. Have you thought of a plan to assassinate Nian Gengyao?" Chen Qingyan casually bandaged the wound with the corner of his robe.
"When water comes, cover it with earth." Chu Xian calmly took the rag and helped Chen Qingyan treat the wound.
Early the next morning, Chu Xian and Chen Qingyan mingled with the farmers delivering vegetables and sneaked into the general's mansion.
"Nian Gengyao has been in the Northwest Frontier Army for many years and has never had any family with him. Why does he need such a huge amount of rice every day?" Chu Xian was confused.
"The clothes of high-ranking officials are very fine, and they are not estimated by weight." Chen Qingyan reminded in a gentle voice.
"How luxurious can it be? Can it be more luxurious than me?" Chu Xian wondered.
When he saw the mountain of cabbages beside the clear water well, he was stunned.
"Come and pick the Chinese cabbage quickly. Take only the three tenderest leaves from the heart. Discard the rest."
"And this pig, only six ounces of gold for its meat."
A fat pig weighing two or three hundred pounds was gutted and only a thin slice of meat was taken out.
Chu Xian pursed her lips. So this was what Nian Gengyao had mentioned in his secret report: the harsh environment during the march to the northwest and the lack of food.
When she carried baskets of ginseng into the kitchen, Chu Xian was instantly furious as she watched the old woman under the stove throw the ginseng into the stove and burn it as firewood.
"Auntie, why are you burning ginseng as firewood? What's the secret behind this?"
"Burning ginseng like firewood will make the boiled cabbage soup less dry. You can taste the ginseng flavor while eating the cabbage soup, but without any bitterness."
"Oh, I have really opened my eyes in this life." Chu Xian suppressed her anger. No wonder Nian Gengyao stayed in the northwest and was reluctant to return to the court. It turned out that he was a local emperor in the northwest army.
"Hurry up, the general has returned home, prepare the bathing bath."
Chu Xian and Chen Qingyan exchanged a glance, then quietly went around to the bathroom, knocked out the servant and maid who were preparing the fragrant soup, changed into servants' clothes, and followed the old servant quickly north.
There was a sentry every ten steps along the way. Chu Xian didn't know how many times she was searched. Even the silver hairpin on her temples was taken away by the servants.
When she walked into the ear room, she no longer had any weapons to defend herself.
"What are you still standing there for? Help the general take a bath." A middle-aged man scolded with a stern face.
Chen Qingyan obeyed and entered carrying a large wooden barrel filled with hot water.
Chu Xian spread out the general's casual clothes and ironed them neatly.
About half an hour later, Chen Qingyan walked out of the bathtub with his head lowered, his expression indescribably strange.
Chu Xian picked up the wooden bucket filled with water and was about to carry it into the bathtub when Chen Qingyan suddenly snatched the bucket from her hand.
Chen Qingyan grabbed the wooden bucket, turned around silently and went back to the bathtub to add water.
Chu Xian has a bad habit of always wanting to get to the bottom of things. The more abnormal Chen Qingyan's behavior becomes, the more she wants to find out.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the wooden bucket, walked around the screen, and stepped directly into the steamy bathtub.
"Xian'er...Xian'er...give it to me...give it to me quickly..."
Suddenly, Chu Xian's ears were filled with the sounds of lovemaking and the strange sound of water, and her face immediately turned red.
I didn’t expect that Nian Gengyao would bring a woman with him. What’s even more disgusting is the woman’s name.
Damn Nian Gengyao...
Chu Xian was furious. She looked through the crack in the screen, but was shocked by the bizarre scene before her and was speechless...
Nian Gengyao had his back to her, making love with a woman. In front of him hung a portrait of a woman with a charming smile on her bright yellow phoenix robe stained with water.
I don’t know what filth it has been contaminated with.
The shameful interaction between the two people and the painting came into view so strangely.
No wonder Chen Qingyan didn't want her to get close to the bathtub.
It was so embarrassing that she was caught in a dilemma and could only lower her head in embarrassment, enjoying the bizarre scene with Chen Qingyan across the screen.
I have to say that warriors have really good physical strength. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xian's legs and feet became sore from standing, and the noise in the bathtub finally stopped.
Before she could take the opportunity to leave, she suddenly heard a woman's painful whimpering and the sound of violent splashing water from the bathtub.
Nian Gengyao was really crazy. He was making love with the beautiful woman just a moment ago, but at this moment, he drowned the woman to death in the bathtub.
Chu Xian's heart was beating like a drum and her back felt cold.
She knew very well what Nian Gengyao felt for her, but her brother Wu Ge took Nian Gengyao into his own hands. Chu Xian had to rely on the Nian family out of consideration for her brother's favor, but she didn't expect that she would end up nurturing a tiger that would become a disaster for her.
At this moment, she wished she could turn around and run away immediately.
But when she turned around, she found that a row of soldiers in armor had been standing by the door.
The door slammed shut.
"Xian'er, since you're coming to the General's Mansion, why didn't you let me know in advance so I can play my part as a good host?"
Nian Gengyao stepped out of the bathtub with his clothes wide open, his face still stained with the flush of lust that had not yet faded.
"General Nian is so arrogant. All the land under heaven belongs to the king. How can you be a landlord?" Chu Xian suppressed her fear and looked at Nian Gengyao with neither arrogance nor humility.
"Xian'er, if you want to be the queen, I can lend you a hand." Nian Gengyao raised his hand, and Chen Qingyan was pinned to the ground by two burly men.
"Xian'er, the last time I saw you was at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve two years ago. You were unhappy. I know he treated you badly."
Nian Gengyao did not hide the greed in his eyes at all, and pressed forward step by step. Chu Xian's eyes fell on Chen Qingyan from time to time, and she was forced to retreat step by step until she retreated to the edge of the bathing pool, with no way to retreat.
There was still a naked corpse floating in the bathtub, which had not been cleaned up in time. Chu Xian closed her eyes in despair.
"General Nian, although I am the deposed empress, I am also the biological mother of the Crown Prince. How can I allow you to blaspheme me? If you dare to trample on my dignity, I will commit suicide here. The deposed empress died in the general's residence. I wonder if the general can explain it clearly to the Seventh and Thirteenth Masters."
"Why explain? I, Nian Gengyao, don't need to explain to anyone!"
"Xian'er, you've been deposed and reduced to a commoner. Are you willing to accept this? The emperor has always been insincere towards you. Don't you know that?"
"So what if I know? Just like you betrayed me and sent your sister to the palace to be favored, what were your intentions?" Chu Xian suppressed her fear and asked, "You and I are no longer young. Things have changed."
"Brother Liang Gong, you said you would protect me my whole life, but now you've gone back on your word. I'm already a deposed queen despised by all the people in the world. It turns out that even you don't take me seriously."
Chu Xian wanted to say something but hesitated, and snuggled in Nian Gengyao's arms with tears in her eyes.
The weapon used to kill Nian Gengyao tonight was actually her, not any other hidden weapon.
