Chapter 550, The Queen Mother on the City Wall

The next morning, the people of Donglin Imperial City heard the news that Daxia had withdrawn, and they immediately fell into jubilation.

They cheered and jumped, and rushed towards the South City Gate like a tide.

"I heard that the Queen Mother is going to reveal the truth about Daxia's attack on our country in front of the people today. Let's go and take a look."

"What's the truth? Didn't our king assassinate the King of Daxia, so they came to attack us?"

"You may not know the secret behind this. According to the court, the Queen Mother went to negotiate peace with the enemy yesterday and learned many things from Prince Xia Jiu. It is very likely that our king was wronged."

"What can we ordinary people know? The imperial city has always been guarded by our lives. If the king is really wronged, I will defend the imperial city for the king even if I die."

"If the king really did such a thing, I would never resist when Daxia invaded."

"Daxia has withdrawn its troops. Isn't it because they are guilty?"

"Okay, stop talking too much. The Queen Mother is a heroine of our country. What she said must be right. Let's listen to what she says!"

"Yes, my father respected the Queen Mother very much. The older generation now remembers the Queen Mother. Let's go and listen."

"Yes, she must be right!"

...

The people talked one after another, and rushed towards the wall of the South Gate.

Grand Tutor Peng led his personal soldiers to guard the gate and specially surrounded a circle to protect the Queen Mother and others.

Eunuch Mo came to spy on the situation on the order of the king.

He wanted to send someone to go to the gate with the Queen Mother, but was stopped by Grand Tutor Peng.

Grand Tutor Peng said, "Eunuch Mo, I won't go up either, why are you going up?"

Yes, he was such a respecter of the Queen Mother that he could let her climb the city wall without any worries. As the personal eunuch of the King, if Eunuch Mo also followed her,

others would think that the King had sent someone to force the Queen Mother to come out and win back the hearts of the people for him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Eunuch Mo's mouth twitched, he swallowed his anger, and smiled at Grand Tutor Peng, "It doesn't matter, anyway, the people standing guard on the city wall are the King's death warriors!"

His intention was to warn Grand Tutor Peng not to play any tricks, otherwise the people guarding on top could easily kill the Queen Mother!

Grand Tutor Peng snorted coldly, without even looking at Eunuch Mo.

He didn't hate the eunuchs, but because most of them had no choice but to become eunuchs.

The only people he hated were eunuchs like Eunuch Mo, who were selfish, treacherous, and in order to please the king and gain benefits, he completely ignored the overall situation.

Only then did he understand why such people could be valued by the king and would not be punished even if they crossed the line.

It was just because birds of a feather flock together.

The king was also such a villain. Many times, Eunuch Mo's behavior was equivalent to his thoughts.

Master Peng was very regretful. After assisting the king for more than 20 years, he finally saw what kind of person the king really was. The queen mother

was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, but because of her old age, her steps were a little unsteady. She was supported by someone and climbed up the city wall step by step.

Everyone saw the queen mother, who was radiant and dressed gorgeously.

Then they knew that the king must be a filial son

, who took such good care of the queen mother. Everyone's impression of the king improved a little bit. How could a man who was so filial to his mother do such a treasonous thing as assassinating the king of another country?

The queen mother raised a smile and looked down at the people. Although she couldn't see, she could feel that the small and huge people, their bright and respectful eyes were looking at her.

It made the queen mother feel that everything she had done for them in the past was worth it.

"People of Donglin, how have you been these years?" The queen mother shouted to the city with all her strength.

The people immediately burst into thunderous cheers, one wave higher than the other, and they were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they waved their arms and shouted.

The whole scene was very lively and bustling. This was a grand scene that Donglin Imperial City had not seen for more than ten years.

Everyone cheered, fearing that the Queen Mother could not hear.

Tears flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. She raised her hand lightly, and the people immediately quieted down obediently, waiting for her to speak.

"I came to the city gate to see you this time, first, to see how my people in Donglin are doing."

"Second, to clarify some matters for His Majesty the King." The Queen

Mother said this, and everyone's expectant eyes were all focused on her.

"The King of Donglin is not what we see on the surface, but..."

Eunuch Mo, Grand Tutor Peng, and all the soldiers and people under the city wall, all listened with their ears raised, their hearts beating like drums.

In the tense and expectant eyes of the people.

A tear slowly fell from the

Queen Mother's eyes. She used all her strength to shout loudly: "In fact, the king is a selfish and jealous villain, who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He killed his father to seize the throne, and killed his own brother. In order to force the little princess to marry in Daxia and seize the throne of Daxia, he imprisoned me for more than 20 years, fed me leftovers every day, and ordered people to beat me!"

"Later, he ordered the death of the little princess who was far away in Daxia, and poisoned me to make me mute and blind. He tortured me for more than 20 years..."

"Ah!"

The Queen Mother had not finished speaking.

Eunuch Mo had already reacted and shouted to the assassins on the city wall: "Shut her mouth!"

The assassins rushed towards the queen mother, who suddenly lay on the city wall and continued to shout:

"The Lord of Donglin has coveted Daxia for more than 20 years. This time he went to Daxia and killed the King of Daxia, which caused the people and subjects of our country to suffer such a disaster... Ah!"

The assassins had already captured the queen mother.

The people under the city were instantly furious. They had some doubts about what the queen mother said, but they were also angry that the Lord's men had captured the queen mother.

"Let go of the queen mother!" People began to protest!

Some even rushed to the city wall with their eyes wide open and their faces flushed.

Some people, for the sake of the Queen Mother, desperately pushed the people in front of them, trying to break through the obstruction.

"The king, this beast, shall not die a good death!"

"We want justice for the queen mother!"

The roars and curses intertwined and were deafening.

The crowd was like an uncontrolled torrent, constantly surging in protest, and the momentum was extremely huge. The originally neat team became chaotic, and their faces were full of anger and determination, vowing to push down all those who hurt the queen mother. 欞魊尛裞 Eunuch

Mo was so anxious that he shouted: "Kill her quickly, don't let her talk nonsense!"

It was originally a move to win back the hearts of the people, but it suddenly turned into a riot among the people!

Eunuch Mo almost blacked out.

The queen mother broke free from the assassin’s hands and opened her luxurious clothes, which were covered with scars of varying sizes: “This is evidence that the king has abused me!”

“The king saw that the truth was about to be revealed, so he fed me a drug that could neutralize the poison and forced me to restore his reputation!”

“But such a beast is not worth it. He killed the late emperor, his own brothers and sisters, and all of Donglin suffered with him!”

“My fellow citizens, I risked my own life to save you from danger many years ago. I don’t want to see you die innocently for such a beast!”

“He poisoned me... I... Poof!”

“Today is the day I die!!”
