Chapter 170: Dayue is dead

no sooner said than done.

The White Lotus Sect leader had no mercy at all, and didn't want to capture these people one by one and torture them.

There is no need for that. If he clears out all the civil and military officials, won't everything left in Dayue belong to him? Let Huang Chao and Mo Qiu fight the four-nation coalition army! He picked this peach first!

There was no need for the White Lotus sect members who followed him to say anything, as they were already impatient.

From the confusion at the beginning when he followed the leader and lurked in the imperial capital for unknown reasons, to the harvest-like joy of clearing everything now, one can't help but feel happy.

The resistance of the civil and military officials was minimal - there was a martial arts master watching them, and if anyone showed the slightest resistance, the White Lotus Sect leader would teach them what it means to be the first to be shot.

To resist is to die; to not resist is also to die.

When the White Lotus Sect Leader was able to appear here, everything was already destined.

"Traitor! Traitor! What do you know about governing a country? Without us, Dayue will only perish faster!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have hidden millions of taels of silver, and I am the only one who knows where it is. If you kill me, you will never find it!"

Some people also try to buy their lives with money.

"My son has joined the White Lotus Sect. My son is in the White Lotus Sect! We are in the same group. Family members should not fight against each other!"

Others tried to build connections.

It's no use.

When the fists and feet fell, the big men who were once high and mighty enough to decide the life and death of a people were no different from those ordinary people.

The entire Zi Yang Palace was cleared out, of course - this was just the beginning.

The Huang Dynasty was able to rip off the wealthy in Yangzhou, but no matter how much they ripped off, could there still be more wealthy people in Yangzhou than in the imperial capital?

"Destroy the royal bloodline, raid the homes of those corrupt officials, and send a few people to inform the believers outside."

The White Lotus Sect Leader's eyes were full of light and he looked very energetic. "Da Yue is dead!"

When these words were spoken, people were excited.

The White Lotus Sect has a history of hundreds of years, much longer than Dayue. There have been people who rebelled in every dynasty - and finally, he accomplished an unprecedented great cause in his hands.

Change of dynasty!

The guards guarding the palace rushed over when they heard the noise. A white lotus blossomed, and all the guards who rushed in were beaten out at a faster speed.

"The white lotus blossoms, the Ming King is born; the sinful emperor is dead, the white lotus should be established!"

The White Lotus sect members chanted in unison, and the entire palace was in chaos.

They took advantage of this rare opportunity to wipe out Emperor Kang Jing and all the civil and military officials at once, and within a short period of time, they couldn't even find someone who could take charge of the situation.

Right now, too few people know that Emperor Kang Jing is dead, so the situation isn’t chaotic enough. Once the news spreads, the matter will be settled!

On the Fengyi Pavilion.

Lin Xiaoyi drank the wine in small sips, her eyes passing through the layers of palaces decorated with lights and looking at the Zi Yang Palace.

The distance is quite far, so the sound is not very clear.

But you can see that the guards in the palace are constantly gathering towards the Zi Yang Palace.

Not long after, the guards who had gathered together were knocked out at an even faster speed.

Faintly, Lin Xiaoyi could hear a group of people shouting, "The white lotus blossoms, the Ming King is born; the sinful emperor is dead, the white lotus should be established!"

Emperor Kang Jing must be dead.

No, it should be said that the royal family of Otsuki is finally about to die, and there will be no chance of revival.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the wine jug in her hand tilted downward. A shiny white line slid down the mouth of the jug, poured onto the ground, and splashed out a bit of dust.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoyi is here to avenge you!"

Lin Xiaoyi's voice was as ethereal as ever, but her pretty eyebrows were slightly wrinkled downwards, "Although it's a little late."

Deep in the palace, people’s hearts are like locks.

After twenty-one years, the time has finally come.

I, a girl, also hold grudges.

When no more wine spilled from the jug in her hand, Lin Xiaoyi simply threw it aside and hummed an unknown tune softly. The tune was not intense, like a lullaby from a very far away place, making it difficult to hear clearly.

In the distance, the White Lotus Sect's men had already rushed out of the Zi Yang Pavilion and were spreading to other places. They would not let anyone from the royal family go.

Dayue’s more than 200-year national prosperity came to an end here.

Of course, all of this cannot be attributed to her efforts and credit, but this final fatal blow was indeed delivered by her hands.

It's time for revenge.

After humming a folk tune, Lin Xiaoyi walked to the railing of the attic and looked in a certain direction in the imperial capital.

There, she also had a daughter who knew nothing.

Let the previous generation bear the sins of the previous generation.

No matter who comes to power, it will never be worse than Dayue at this moment.

Over the years, she had indeed committed many sins in order to seek revenge. How many families had been destroyed by a piece of silver? Even she herself had become a part of the royal family, and she had occasionally seen people who had suffered from the disaster in the Gu family's courtyard. There would only be more people who had not seen it.

"Empress, Empress!"

A maid rushed up quickly, looking anxious and terrified, almost crying, "There are thieves in the palace, Your Majesty. Your Majesty may..."

She didn't dare to say it clearly.

"Dead, right?"

Lin Xiaoyi turned around, still with a slight smile on her face.

The maid froze all over, not knowing whether she should answer this question.

Only then did she notice that the Queen had changed out of her extremely dignified Liuyun Zhuiyue dress and put on a thin outfit that was even inferior to her maid's. The eye-catching decorations such as the phoenix coronet and bridal robe were also all removed. Her three thousand black hair were gently tied together, with only a rotten and worn wooden hairpin inserted in it.

It’s just that the dress seems to be ill-fitting, and it’s too tight for her already plump body. She no longer has the majestic demeanor and bearing of a queen as she once had. Instead, she looks more like an older sister next door.

She had never seen this outfit before. If someone familiar with it, they would understand that this was what Lin Xiaoyi wore when she was in the Imperial Hospital.

It probably couldn't be considered as dressing up. She lived in poverty at that time. Girls inevitably love beauty, but she looked very pure. Poverty did not allow her to be extravagant.

Life was not that good at that time. It was a happy thing if we could earn some money and buy a few strings of candied haws. But at least we had our parents and little Yikeyi.

Later, as fate would have it, she enjoyed all the glory in the world and became a phoenix. But without support in her heart, she was like a kite with a broken string.

After becoming the queen, her favorite thing to do was to stay in the Gu family courtyard - there she didn't have to think about anything, as if she had returned to her youth, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the intrigues and struggles in the imperial palace.

But I am no longer young.

Twenty-one years have passed! My parents' faces have become blurry in my memory, and I can hardly remember their faces clearly in my dreams at midnight.

The third prince died very happily at that time, so happily that he couldn't even wait for her to take revenge.

But it doesn’t matter, the Otsuki royal family is still there.

Although it has been a long time, the spirits of your parents in heaven can see it, right? Xiaoyi will avenge you!

From then on, the Otsuki royal family never had the opportunity to do evil or misbehave again.

"Xiao Cui, I remember you once told me that you had to sell yourself to the palace because of the flood in Yuzhou and the disaster in your family, and you couldn't make ends meet, right?"

Lin Xiaoyi looked at the maid who seemed a little at a loss and asked.

"yes."

Xiao Cui, who was a little afraid to answer, nodded quickly, fearing that Lin Xiaoyi would suddenly ask some questions that she couldn't answer. She said rapidly: "I was very young at that time and didn't know much. I only remember that I didn't eat much for about three days. I was almost starving to death. The neighbors at that time had already started eating Guanyin soil. People starved to death every day. It was impossible to survive. Later, my family sold me."

"Hate it?"

Lin Xiaoyi asked.

"I don't hate it."

Xiao Cui shook her head. "I still remember how hungry I felt. My stomach felt like it was on fire, but my mind was empty. I wanted to take a bite of everything I saw, but I had no strength in my body. It was hard to move my arms. At that time, I thought, who can give me a bite to eat? I will do anything for you."

She smiled sheepishly, "Later, someone exchanged me for half a bag of grain! I am also very lucky. I still have the opportunity to enter the palace. Although I am not rich, at least I don't have to starve. Some girls were sold to brothels. I am afraid that they live a life worse than death. I am much luckier than them, so I have nothing to complain about.

I have sent some of my allowance money to my family over the years, and I have received letters from them. They are all doing well, and the hardest days are over."

Lin Xiaoyi listened quietly, and waited until she finished speaking before continuing, "When Yuzhou was hit by a flood, the imperial court did allocate money, but a large portion of the money was withheld and a lot of it was embezzled along the way."

"I am a servant. I don't understand these things."

Xiao Cui scratched her head. "The Queen is a good person. I made a mistake and was almost beaten to death. If the Queen hadn't stopped me, I might not have survived. If the Queen doesn't mind, Xiao Cui will serve you for the rest of her life."

"No, you don't have to serve anyone. You will leave the palace in a while. You can take away anything you like in the building. Don't take too much and don't let others see you. You can find a family that treats you well, marry, have a child, take care of your husband and children, or do something you like. In any case, you don't have to go hungry anymore."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lin Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"Empress, do you dislike Xiao Cui's clumsiness?"

Xiao Cui looked at her in surprise, totally not understanding why Lin Xiaoyi suddenly said this.

"No, you can live for yourself."

Lin Xiaoyi thought about it, took out a book from her arms and handed it to Xiao Cui.

"Essentials of Golden Injury".

"This is a rare medical book given to you. If you don't need it, find a kind-hearted doctor and give it to him."

Lin Xiaoyi said.

"Medical book?"

Xiao Cui took it without knowing why, "Empress, why don't you send it off yourself?"

"No, no, the world is good. I won't come back in the next life."

Lin Xiaoyi walked to the railing and flipped over it gently.

"Empress?!"

Xiao Cui was startled by her action and froze on the spot, "What are you doing?!"

I held the railing with both hands, and there was some sweat on my palms.

Lin Xiaoyi smiled, not knowing what she was thinking about.

She hummed softly.

"There is only one good mother in the world, and children with mothers are like treasures."

Take a leap.

A butterfly fell from the sky and had nowhere to go.

Gu family courtyard.

The gate was pushed open and the guards from the palace walked in with an envelope.

"The Queen asked me to deliver the letter."

The guard said so.

Qin Lisheng looked puzzled. After Gu Dan left, Lin Xiaoyi never came back. But the palace was not too far from here. Even if there was something wrong, she could just come over. Why would she need to send a letter? He took the envelope and opened it.

The surprise on Qin Lisheng's face could not be concealed at all.

The White Lotus Sect leader ran to the palace? !

That would be like a mouse entering the rice jar!

It doesn't take much to know that the royal family is probably done for! He had long thought that Lin Xiaoyi was not that simple, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyi would wait until the royal family's national protector passed away, waited until Mr. Gu left, and there was no martial arts master in the entire imperial capital, and then played such a big game! "Did mother write to you? Why don't you just come over!"

Xiaoying, who was staring at the flowers and plants she planted in the yard in a daze, came over and wanted to see the letter written by Lin Xiaoyi.

As a result, Qin Lisheng flipped his hand and put the letter away.

"Pack your things. Your mother asked us to go to Yuzhou to find Mr. Gu."

Qin Lisheng's expression quickly calmed down and he spoke in a natural tone.

"Ah? Mother finally agreed to let me leave the imperial capital!"

Xiaoying was stunned at first, then she became happy.

Ever since Mr. Gu and Xun Ke left, this small courtyard seemed a little deserted. That little brat Cang was very unreliable, and Qin Lisheng didn't like her very much. It was so boring.

"I'll go pack my things now."

The little girl ran like the wind.

Cang, who was hanging on the willow tree, also hurriedly slid down, "What about me? Can I not go?"

"No, hurry up too. If you can't clean it up in two quarters of an hour, I'll beat your butt to pieces!" Qin Lisheng's face darkened.

Under Qin Lisheng's repeated urging, Xiaoying weighed various bags of things and threw them into the carriage with great effort, while Cang held a small package containing only a few pieces of clothes.

"I've packed it."

Cang stared with his eyes wide open and spoke with certainty.

"Walk."

Without having time to say any more, Qin Lisheng acted as the coachman. He flicked the whip lightly and the carriage drove towards the city gate.

On the way, Xiaoying excitedly stuck her head out of the car window. This was the first time she was leaving the imperial capital since she grew up. The joy in her heart was simply indescribable. The scenery that she had been tired of seeing in the past now became interesting in a new way.

"How long will it take this time? Doesn't mom want to go with you to play? Is there a time limit?" Xiaoying asked all at once.

“.”

Qin Lisheng said nothing.

When we were almost at the city gate, things started to get a little chaotic.

There is a fight going on.

Some people also shouted: "The white lotus blossoms, the Ming King is born; the sinful emperor is dead, the white lotus should be established!"

The group of people were trying to seize the city gate and close it.

Qin Lisheng's eyes darkened slightly.

"Stay in the car and don't move. I'll be back soon."

Soon, both the imperial court and the White Lotus sect members stopped fighting at the city gate, and everyone lay peacefully on the same land.

"Come on, get out."

Qin Lisheng held the reins of the carriage and drove forward.

His strength is very close to that of a grandmaster. Unless he encounters the White Lotus Sect Leader, these people are no match for him.

"Why did they start fighting? I seemed to hear something about the White Lotus Sect."

Inside the carriage, Xiaoying looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Nothing, just a bunch of lunatics."
