Several men in black knelt on the ground and saluted Luo Qingqing.
"I am the secret guard protecting the Queen!"
Luo Qingqing was ecstatic.
This must be Xiao Jiuchen who stayed behind to protect her.
The Queen Mother stepped back a few steps and called for someone to come over and fight: "Hurry up and kill these rebels!"
The servants in the hall attacked the man in black, and more people rushed in from outside the hall.
However, none of them were a match for the man in black.
The Queen Mother's servants fell down in large numbers.
Only after the last servant fell did the Queen Mother flee out of the palace in terror.
Several men in black wiped their swords clean and sheathed them.
Luo Qingqing asked anxiously: "Kill the Queen Mother!"
One of the men in black said, "Empress, our mission is to protect you. Killing the Queen Mother is not within our mission."
Luo Qingqing was furious.
She ordered, "Then hold her down!"
Several men in black looked at each other.
They didn't understand why, but they did it anyway.
Two men in black grabbed the Queen Mother and pushed her back into the palace.
Luo Qingqing had already pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the nanny's body.
She stepped forward and without hesitation, stabbed the Queen Mother in the heart.
The Queen Mother didn't even make a sound before her mouth was blocked by the huge streams of blood gushing out of her mouth.
The two men in black dropped the empress dowager's body and looked at each other.
One of them spoke up, "Well, it was the Queen who killed him, not us, so we are not breaking the rules."
After Luo Qingqing wiped the dagger clean with the Queen Mother's clothes, she said to the men in black, "Follow me to the border."
The Queen Mother is dead!
The court officials will definitely investigate. She is isolated and helpless in the capital. If she stays here, she will only wait for death.
A man in black refused and said, "Queen, our mission is to stay in the palace and protect you."
Luo Qingqing could really see that this group of people were completely stubborn.
She said slowly, "Since your mission is to protect me, if I leave the palace, don't you have to follow me out?"
Several men in black looked confused.
Luo Qingqing gave them time to think.
She gave each of the fainted maids a dagger, ending their lives.
She found a set of slave clothes to change into, put on some makeup, and immediately a rough man with a big belly came to life.
She walked out of the hall slowly and leisurely.
Several men in black scratched their heads and followed instinctively.
Their mission is to protect the queen.
The queen left the palace and they followed her, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
Luo Qingqing pushed the four-wheeled cart carrying vegetables and left the palace unhindered.
After she entered the palace, she had plotted countless ways to leave the palace for fun.
But at the beginning, Xiao Jiuchen watched her closely, so she had no chance.
Later, because she was pregnant, Xiao Jiuchen watched her more closely and she had even less chance.
I didn't expect that such an opportunity would come to me today.
Luo Qingqing chose to go to the border instead of going to her father and brother in southern Xinjiang because she still didn't believe that Xiao Jiuchen was really dead.
Xiao Jiuchen protected her very well. He rarely mentioned matters in the court to her so as not to worry her.
But Luo Qingqing vaguely guessed something unusual.
For example, why did Xiao Jiuchen ask secret guards to pretend to be him and lead the army in person?
For example, Xiao Jiuchen actually arranged secret guards to protect her in advance!
Xiao Jiuchen planned many things in advance, as if he could predict the future.
Since he was able to arrange things so that nothing could go wrong, he should have been able to escape the Xirong people's sneak attack.
He has been in Tongzhou for many years and is very familiar with it.
He should not be unaware that his base would attract a sneak attack from the Western Rong people.
Even when Luo Qingqing was feeling disheartened, she still had one obsession.
She had never seen Xiao Jiuchen's body with her own eyes, and she still didn't believe that he was dead.
She believed he was still alive!
*
The emperor passed away suddenly, and the whole Jin Dynasty was in mourning. At the same time, the hatred towards the Western Rong grew even stronger.
On the front battlefield, the soldiers fought like crazy, killing the Xirong people.
However, the court is currently leaderless, and many military generals pay more attention to court affairs than to the battlefield.
If the upper echelons don't want to fight, it's useless no matter how hard the lower-level soldiers work.
The Jin army suffered defeat after defeat.
In Shanzhou, the central city of Yongcheng had been lost, and the army retreated to Xiancheng to wait and see.
In Tongzhou, Rucheng, Wucheng and Choucheng had all been occupied by the Western Rong. The army retreated to Yecheng to defend Tongzhou's last line of defense.
Luo Qingqing hurried on his way while inquiring about the battle situation ahead.
She learned that the ceremonial guard transporting Xiao Jiuchen's coffin had arrived in Yecheng.
She rushed to Yecheng with her secret guards.
In the prefectural office, Zhao Zhongliang still maintained his integrity and integrity.
He met Luo Qingqing in the side hall, as if he had met an old friend.
Last year, they fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Western Rong.
This year, they met again, but everything had changed.
Zhao Zhongliang burst into tears: "The emperor is a good emperor, but it's a pity that fate has played tricks on him! Hateful Xirong dogs! ......"
Luo Qingqing shed tears silently.
After crying, Luo Qingqing asked to see Xiao Jiuchen’s coffin and the people who were killed with him.
Zhao Zhongliang agreed to the arrangement.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother died in your palace, and you suddenly disappeared from the capital. Now the whole country is rumored to have murdered the Queen Mother. Your identity should not be exposed. I can only make arrangements quietly."
Luo Qingqing nodded in understanding.
Along the way, she also heard the news from the court.
