Chapter 185 Twin Empresses
Old Man Zhong said, "Girl, have you seen all the paintings here? They were all painted for the Queen of Ceylon, Her Majesty Helian Youming!"
As for who painted it, he had never heard of it.
"Every character in the painting is Her Majesty the Empress herself!"
"Girl, you should have noticed that the Empress looks very similar to you!"
“Especially here!”
As Old Man Zhong spoke, he pointed to the cinnabar mole on the nose of the woman in the painting.
Liu Shiqi naturally saw it as well. And it can be said with certainty that the person in the painting is almost exactly the same as her.
Liu Shiqi pursed his lips, stared at the painting for a long time, and asked.
"Grandfather means that the statue in the Qingshan Holy Mother Temple is actually Her Majesty the Empress!"
Unexpectedly, Old Man Zhong just shook his head.
"Oh, it's just a defective product!"
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Defective goods?"
"What do you mean? I don't understand!"
Old Man Zhong thought about it and said to her.
"Well, let me tell you a story! This story has also been passed down orally!"
"As for how much is true and how much is false, you can experience it yourself!"
Liu Shiqi nodded.
Old Man Zhong pulled her and sat down on a chair nearby and said.
"It is said that when Empress Helian Youming was born, she was actually a pair of twin girls!"
"The Empress is the elder sister, Helian Youming, and the younger sister is Helian Lanzhen."
"When the empress was born, she was actually weaker than her sister."
"The Imperial Master said that the Empress will not live past one year old. Unless she is sent to the Immortal Mountain and cared for by the Immortals themselves, she may live longer."
"For the life of the Empress, the Empress had no choice but to send her to the Wuyi Immortal Mountain when she was just one month old. After kneeling and begging for several days, she finally moved an immortal to personally take care of and raise the Empress!"
"After that, the empress followed this immortal and learned many skills, such as Qimen Dunjia, military tactics, cultivation, and so on!"
"The Empress's health is getting better and better, and her life can be considered worry-free!"
"This immortal treats the empress as his personal disciple and wants her to inherit his legacy. She will achieve enlightenment and become an immortal."
"On the other hand, the empress's sister, Helian Lanzhen, became the crown princess."
"Helian Lanzhen was trained to be the successor to the throne since she was young. She has learned the ways of governing a country and is also working hard to become a qualified heir to the throne."
"The sisters' lives are completely different and they don't interfere with each other."
"But later, Ceylon suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters. The surrounding countries were eyeing Ceylon covetously, and the country gradually declined."
"And the Crown Princess Helian Lanzhen's half-siblings are still fighting for power and trying to replace her."
"Just when she was in a state of panic, she thought of the empress who was cultivating in Wuyi Immortal Mountain."
"She thinks that the Empress is from the same mother as her and will definitely side with her."
"Moreover, she also wants to ask the Queen to come out and save Ceylon."
"The immortals do not agree with the Empress coming out of seclusion! They think that since she has entered the immortal sect, she should not care about the disputes of the world."
"The Empress didn't agree at first!"
"But, the Crown Princess used some tricks, and the Empress was successfully tricked out of the fairy mountain!"
"The Empress truly sees the sufferings of the world!"
"The people of Ceylon are living in dire straits every day and there is no escape."
"The Empress finally couldn't bear it anymore and agreed to pretend to be the Crown Princess and fight for the Crown Princess in other countries."
"The Empress naturally won every battle. The Crown Princess took advantage of the Empress's achievements and her influence grew even greater! She even surpassed the Emperor at the time."
"The emperor was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, and gradually began to doubt the crown princess. He began to restrict her in various ways, and even considered abolishing her!"
"After the Crown Princess found out, she wanted to strike first!"
"She once again used the fact that the empress looked like her to successfully divert the emperor's attention!"
"The emperor sent a large number of people to surround the empress. However, the crown princess took advantage of the situation. The crown princess instigated the military power and surrounded the palace."
"It was at this critical moment that the immortal entered the palace and stopped the princess from killing the emperor."
"The emperor then realized that the reason why the crown princess had such outstanding military achievements and could cover the sky with one hand was because of that. His eldest daughter, who had been raised in the fairy mountain since childhood, was tricked by the crown princess to come down the mountain."
"The Crown Princess was secretly deposed, demoted to a commoner by the Emperor, and imprisoned in the deep palace."
"In order to make up for his debt to Helian Youming, the emperor also believed that Helian Youming was very capable, so he made Helian Youming the crown princess."
"But the empress did not want to be emperor, so she rejected the emperor's kindness and followed the immortal back to the immortal mountain."
Liu Shiqi listened to Old Man Zhong's story and had some vague guesses in his mind.
Old man Zhong was talking to himself.
Not long after the empress returned to the fairy mountain, she heard the news.
Helian Lanzhen actually joined forces with the Dongli people to attack Ceylon.
Moreover, because Helian Lanzhen knew the military deployment map, the Kingdom of Ceylon was defeated by the Kingdom of Dongli and the people were living in misery.
The emperor was old, and the princes and princesses were young and incapable of achieving great things.
The emperor had no choice but to send someone to ask Helian Youming to come out of seclusion.
Helian Youming had experienced the battlefield and knew the lights and shadows of swords and swords on the battlefield. The people were displaced and the corpses of the elderly and children were scattered all over the ground.
She really couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.
So he agreed to the emperor's request and personally led troops to resist the army of Dongli State.
And promised to catch Helian Lanzhen and make her pay the price for her actions.
Helian Youming was confronting his own sister head-on.
At this point, Helian Lanzhen also hated Helian Youming. She felt that Helian Youming had always been hindering her and was a stumbling block in her life.
Later, on the battlefield, Helian Youming broke Helian Lanzhen's arm, causing her to completely lose hope of ascending the throne.
Helian Youming also defeated the Dongli Kingdom step by step and finally forced it to surrender completely.
Helian Lanzhen felt that she had become a traitor and a bad apple that everyone wanted to kill.
However, Helian Youming became a household hero and the person the emperor relied on the most.
Helian Lanzhen's mentality gradually became distorted, and she thought that all this was Helian Youming's fault.
It was Helian Youming who was plotting against her.
From the beginning to the end, Helian Youming wanted to take her place. And now, Helian Youming has done it.
Helian Youming was named Crown Princess by the Emperor, and it can be said that she enjoyed great glory.
But she endured humiliation and lived a life that was not decent.
Helian Lanzhen decided to take revenge.
She first disguised herself and returned to Ceylon.
And using her familiarity with the Crown Princess Palace, she arranged for Deadpool to assassinate Helian Youming. He also poisoned Helian Youming.
Unfortunately, Helian Youming was not poisoned. Instead, it was the emperor who came to visit Helian Youming who was poisoned.
When the emperor was dying, he passed the throne to Helian Youming, who inexplicably became the empress.
The emperor still wanted to kill Helian Lanzhen, but was stopped by the imperial teacher who arrived in a hurry.
It turned out that the national teacher discovered that Helian Youming had been poisoned by Helian Lanzhen.
If Helian Lanzhen died, Helian Youming would also die.
Finally, the emperor passed away and Helian Youming ascended the throne. Helian Lanzhen was permanently imprisoned in the Siguo Cliff on the back mountain of Wuyi Fairy Mountain.
However, Helian Lanzhen unexpectedly turned into a demon, made a deal with the God of Evil, and successfully escaped from Wuyi Fairy Mountain.
She united several countries around Ceylon and attacked Ceylon together...
