boom--
Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and Shen Zhaozhao looked up.
The palace gate was broken.
The palace gate is no harder to attack than the city gate. As long as the soldiers on the city wall are a little passive, it is not difficult to break down the palace gate.
"What are you thinking about?" A female voice came faintly beside me.
Shen Zhaozhao hissed, stroking his chest which was beating violently from shock, and turned to look at Cao Ya who suddenly appeared.
"Sister Cao, where did this come from?"
Cao Ya looked at her with resentment, "I was wondering where Sister Shen had gone. She hadn't been seen all day. The wounded soldiers before couldn't be treated, and more wounded soldiers were about to be sent to the military doctor's tent. Sister Shen had so much free time, and she was just being lazy here."
Shen Zhaozhao: …
Why is it that every time I’m confronted by this girl Cao Ya, I’m left speechless?
"Let's go, let's go. I have something to do. I'm not trying to be lazy." Shen Zhaozhao palely defended himself, holding Cao Ya's arm and was about to leave the alley.
A shrill and feminine voice came from behind.
"Mrs. Zhan, please stay."
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and saw that it was the Queen Mother and the eunuch beside her.
Shen Zhaozhao glanced at Cao Ya beside him consciously.
She looked normal.
Shen Zhaozhao couldn't guess what Cao Ya was thinking. What did it feel like to see her mother in her previous life?
"Mrs. Shen," the empress dowager did not call Shen Zhaozhao the Third Madam like her father-in-law did, but called her Mrs. Shen according to the way she was called before in Panfeng Villa.
"Today, I would like to thank you for sending a letter to me by express horse."
The Queen Mother glanced at the smoke-filled palace with a cold look.
"This palace has trapped me for many years, and I have no intention of returning."
The Queen Mother stepped forward and stretched out her hand, holding half of the tiger talisman in her palm.
"The emperor killed me before and deliberately let me get leprosy. It was for this reason."
Shen Zhaozhao was wondering if the Queen Mother wanted to give her the tiger talisman?
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the palm of my hand.
She looked down and saw Cao Ya beside her with a calm face, his fingernails pinching her palm tightly...
Shen Zhaozhao gritted her teeth: Good sister, if you want to pinch yourself, just pinch yourself!
“Mr. Chen, you can take this tiger talisman. You can keep it for yourself or give it to Zhan Jianzhi later. It’s up to you to decide.” The queen mother looked down at the half tiger talisman in her hand, a little sadness in her eyes.
"This is the only thing she left for me, so I haven't given it to the emperor for so many years." The queen mother seemed to be talking to Shen Zhaozhao, and seemed to be muttering to herself, "It's ridiculous. I treat the emperor as my own son, but the emperor wants my life for this thing."
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the tiger talisman.
With this, he completely took over the military power from the Queen Mother.
This is what the emperor has always dreamed of.
"What do you think?" Shen Zhaozhao's mind moved, and he turned to look at Cao Ya, "Sister Cao, do you think I should accept it?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at Cao Ya sharply.
Seeing that he looked familiar, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"My lady, this is the girl who came to the villa with Mr. Shen to treat you." The father-in-law was good at remembering people and reminded in a low voice.
"Yes." When the Queen Mother heard that Cao Ya was also the one who went to the villa with Shen Zhaozhao, her eyes softened.
"Take it." Cao Ya said softly, "Give it back to General Zhan later."
With Cao Ya's support, Shen Zhaozhao took the tiger talisman.
It was warm to the touch, still carrying the warmth from the Queen Mother's palm.
"Kill the tyrant!"
"Qing my 꺶丰!"
The shouts of soldiers came from the imperial city. Shen Zhaozhao glanced at the palace wall. The battle flags of the Zhan Family Army and the Mobei Army were already planted high on the palace wall.
The battle is decided.
The Queen Mother knew that she had nothing to do here, so she took her father-in-law's arm and turned to leave.
"My queen, do you feel guilty towards Princess Yongning?" Shen Zhaozhao asked the queen mother from behind.
The tone is very impolite.
The palm of his hand was pinched by the expressionless Cao Ya until it bled.
"How dare you!" The father-in-law was shocked and immediately scolded.
The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Shen Zhaozhao intently, without speaking for a long time.
"Sister Shen, the wounded are still waiting for us to rescue..." Cao Ya suddenly released her hand that was pinching Shen Zhaozhao's palm and said softly.
"Then I will be brave enough to ask the Queen Mother if she feels guilty or not!" Shen Zhaozhao grabbed Cao Ya's arm and looked at the Queen Mother aggressively.
"Guilt?"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, her eyes reddened, and she looked out at the imperial city.
"I have been taught since I was a child how to be a qualified queen and how to be the mother of a country."
"So, when my husband favors someone else, I will always try to balance the harem and never compete for favor."
What did you get in return?
In return, her husband hated her and killed her. She faked her death and escaped from the palace with her children. She returned to Jiangnan, and with the protection of her natal family, she was able to raise her two children.
"I hate the previous Emperor Ai. I asked myself why I ended up like this when I did nothing wrong. So I put all my hopes on Feng Li."
Both sealed and established.
She did not let her child take the surname Xiao.
She hoped that her son would return to the imperial city one day and take back everything that originally belonged to him.
"It's a pity that Feng Li doesn't like martial arts and has been weak since childhood," the queen mother sighed, her eyes fell on the half tiger talisman in Shen Zhaozhao's hand, "but God also has eyes and gave me a good daughter."
Her daughter led the army to overthrow the previous dynasty and established the Feng Dynasty.
She was also her daughter. When her mother knelt in front of her, she gave up the throne to her brother without saying a word.
It was her daughter who knelt down to bid farewell to her when she was married to a foreign country.
"At that time, I told her that no one, civil officials or military generals, would accept a woman as the emperor. The throne was too difficult to sit on. She had worked hard for so many years. Later, my wife asked her brother to protect her."
As the Queen Mother spoke, she burst into tears and raised her hand to beat her chest.
"Later, I told her that she was the Princess of Yongning, and that she was marrying off to a foreign country in exchange for eternal peace for the people of Feng, who had just experienced war. This was what my daughter should do."
The Queen Mother said this, wailing to the sky.
"I wish you eternal peace!"
“Your Majesty, please don’t say any more. Since the princess passed away, you have been worshiping Buddha and praying that the princess will be reborn into a good family in her next life. Buddha will surely bless the princess and everything will go well in her next life.” The eunuch also wiped his tears and tried hard to comfort the queen mother.
"Are you asking if I feel guilty?" The Queen Mother looked at Shen Zhaozhao with bloodshot eyes, "I have planned my whole life to make wedding clothes for others. I have never seen my own children being born. I am afraid that my daughter will never want to see me again in her life."
“Guilt.”
The Queen Mother nodded and spoke softly. She turned around and stumbled a bit, relying only on the support of the eunuch beside her to avoid falling.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at her back as she slowly left.
The Queen Mother at this moment was completely different from the powerful Queen Mother who had appeared between the two armies before.
She had a hunched back and unsteady steps, looking more like an ordinary old woman who had lost her child.
My back is bent by the fate.
"There must be something hateful about pitiful people." Shen Zhaozhao shook his head and looked at Cao Ya with squinting eyes, "I'm talking about you!"
Cao Ya glared back immediately, his eyes as red as a white rabbit, and his gaze was harmless.
"Foolish filial piety."
Shen Zhaozhao gave her two words, took her arm and dragged her away.
"Let's go! Forget about the past."
"It's important to go to the military doctor's tent to work!"
