It was late at night.
Qu Jingyun was sitting in the room when Qu Jiu pushed open the door and walked in.
Qu Jiu's expression was very serious.
He looked at Qu Jingyun with a deep gaze: "All the city gates have been opened, and quite a few bandits have run in."
"Very good." She exhaled a heavy breath and looked up at Qu Jiu: "Let the brothers start preparing. This pacification is our chance to turn the tide."
Qu Jiu's expression grew increasingly complicated.
He never expected that Qu Jingyun would be so bold when she returned five years later.
She's clearly using the entire General's Mansion as a gamble.
Thud—
The door was suddenly kicked open.
Shen Song ran in from outside in a disheveled state.
He glared angrily at Qu Jingyun.
"Did you say something to Qingping? Qingping clearly said before that she would not rebel again, but now she has attacked the city, and the dynasty will soon be destroyed. Mother, why did you force Qingping to this point?"
Faced with Shen Song's questioning, Qu Jingyun said nothing, only silently looking at the son in front of her who was as tall as his father.
"Qu Jingyun!" Seeing that she ignored him, Chen Song angrily called out her name, gritting her teeth and warning, "Don't forget this is the General's Mansion, and so many innocent people are going to die because of you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
She said calmly, "I didn't kill this person. Why don't you go away for a while and come back? I get really annoyed just seeing you now, and I really don't want to see you."
Upon hearing this, a hurt expression appeared in Shen Song's eyes.
Then Shen Song added, "You should immediately send Shen's army to help Qingping."
"What?" Qu Jingyun was shocked by Shen Song's words.
Seeing that the person was still standing there motionless, Shen Song urged impatiently, "Hurry up, what if Qingping gets hurt?"
Snap—
In the end, she couldn't hold back and slapped Shen Song hard across the face.
She looked at Shen Song with disappointment.
Looking down from above, it's like being a judge.
Shen Song suddenly shivered.
Meeting her chillingly cold eyes, Shen Song felt a sense of retreat.
He swallowed hard, lowered his eyes to hide the fear in them, and knelt respectfully before her.
“Mother, as long as you are willing to help me rescue Qingping, I will cooperate with whatever you want to do in the future.”
"Oh?" Qu Jingyun smiled playfully, "Even if it means you can never see Lin Qingping again and have to live a good life with Xue'er, you'd still be willing?"
Shen Song struggled.
Upon seeing this, Qu Jingyun let out another contemptuous sneer.
"I see that your relationship is nothing more than this. You can't give up Lin Qingping at all. Even if you agree now, you will still let Xue'er down in the future. Why don't you let Lin Qingping die under the iron cavalry of the Shen family army now?"
“No!” Shen Song immediately shook her head.
He looked at Qu Jingyun in a panic: "Mother, as long as you are willing to help Qingping, I promise you. If you can't, I will let you do whatever you want with me."
"Even if it means stripping you of your title as heir?" Qu Jingyun asked.
This time, Shen Song nodded solemnly without the slightest hesitation.
"Can."
Qu Jingyun fell silent.
A moment later, she chuckled softly again.
"Fine, since you can't let go of Lin Qingping, then come with me to see her."
This will also make that brat give up.
Shen Song's eyes lit up, and he kowtowed deeply to Qu Jingyun.
"Thank you, Mother."
Qu Jingyun sneered and took him out with her.
When she arrived at the palace gate with Shen Jiajun, Lin Qingping had already arrived with her army.
Lin Qingping looked smugly at the Golden Feather Guards standing guard at the palace gate.
"See? Your Lady of War is on our side, and the entire Shen family army supports us."
The captain of the Golden Feather Guard, Shen Changzhou, stared at Qu Jingyun in disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
Qu Jingyun shrugged helplessly. "I was forced into this situation. These people have something on me. Why don't you put down your weapons?"
"dream!"
After saying that, Shen Changzhou glared fiercely at Qu Jingyun.
He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as my Golden Feather Guard is here, these treacherous officials will not be able to enter the palace to harm the Emperor."
"Qingping." Shen Song excitedly ran to Lin Qingping, pulled her around in a circle, and then said with a smile, "I'm so glad you're alright. Let's not fight anymore, okay?"
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Qingping disgustedly shook off Shen Song's hand.
"If I had known you were this stupid, I shouldn't have approached you in the first place. I should have just cooperated more happily with Mrs. Shen."
Shen Song was stunned.
He stared blankly at Lin Qingping.
She quickly forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Qingping, you're joking with me, right? Didn't you say you'd like me if I listened to you?"
"Oh!"
Lin Qingping let out another cold laugh.
"You're really naive. I only used you from beginning to end. I, Lin Qingping, look down on a man like you who can abandon his wife for so-called true love."
“You…” Shen Song was stunned for a while, then shook her head, “It’s not like that, you’re just lying to me, right? I…”
"Alright, all this whining from women is annoying. Get lost and stop bothering me while I'm busy with important business."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qingping kicked Shen Song in the stomach.
"Use?" Shen Song stared blankly at Lin Qingping, her tearful eyes filled with disbelief.
Then Lin Qingping laughed and said, "This is all a lie, isn't it? How could you do this? This must all be fake."
After saying that, Shen Song reached out and took Lin Qingping's hand again.
Lin Qingping pushed the person away again, and looked at Qu Jingyun impatiently.
"Hurry up and do it."
Qu Jingyun nodded with a smile.
She glanced sideways at Shen Jiajun behind her.
"Didn't you hear what this traitor said? Attack!"
"Qu Jingyun!" Lin Qingping looked at Qu Jingyun angrily: "What do you mean by this? I'm telling you to take action against those people."
"That's right, am I not taking action against you, a remnant of the previous dynasty?" Qu Jingyun asked with a smile.
Seeing the smile on her face, Lin Qingping suddenly understood something.
Lin Qingping asked blankly, "So you were lying to me from the very beginning, and you never intended to cooperate with me?"
Qu Jingyun said in a serious tone, "You are a remnant of the previous dynasty. What makes you think I would cooperate with someone like you?"
Then she glanced at Shen Song, who was sitting on the ground in a daze.
“Shen Song, I’m giving you a chance to lead the Shen family army to wipe out these remnants of the previous dynasty.”
"You dare!" Lin Qingping warned, "Don't forget that all the important checkpoints are now under our control, and what about your husband's things? You don't want them anymore, do you?"
Seeing how fierce she was, Qu Jingyun let out a disdainful sneer.
She raised her sword, pointing it at Lin Qingping, and said disdainfully, "What makes you think I'll compromise because of your threats? Or has your planned rescue arrived yet?"
Suddenly, Lin Qingping realized something.
She glanced around warily, then looked at Qu Jingyun in disbelief.
"you……"
Qu Jingyun nodded with a smile.
"You guessed right, the defense map that Qi Mingyue gave you was also fake."
