She shouted loudly—
"Zhu Huaining could commit such a treasonous act, so the child in Zhu Wuhuan's belly must be a born rebel, just like his grandfather, a disloyal one!"
"Your Majesty, your own son will definitely chop off your head and take away your throne in the future. Because this is the most valiant nature of the Zhu family. They are born to be ruthless killers, hahahaha——"
As she was laughing, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and vomited a mouthful of blood.
She slowly lowered her head and saw a sharp knife stuck in her heart.
"presumptuous!"
She listened to the familiar voice and slowly looked up at the emperor who was calmly withdrawing his hand a few feet away.
In the end, he threw the knife and took her life...
Taking in the rage on his handsome face, she spat out mouthfuls of blood, a smile on her face particularly bright.
Be angry, the angrier the better. The angrier he is, the more it proves that he has heard her heartbreaking words.
Oh……
She just knew she wasn't going to survive.
So she thought, since she was going to die, why not plant a poisonous thorn in this man's heart before she died, so that Zhu Wuhuan and his mother would be suspected by him forever!
Where is the father-son love in the imperial family?
She believed that the two words she had just said had already taken root in this man's heart, and once the child born to Zhu Wuhuan grew up, it would sprout and become a seed of doubt...
In the end, it will definitely lead to the father and son killing each other!
She slowly turned her gaze to Zhu Wuhuan, and her smile became more and more pleased.
Zhu Wuhuan harmed her, her second uncle, and her cousin. She also wanted to make sure that Zhu Wuhuan would never be happy in her life and make amends to her with a lifetime of pain!
The two sentences she said made everyone look at the queen and her belly with complicated expressions.
The Queen...I'm afraid her glory won't last forever.
Emperors are inherently suspicious people. When they are old, even without any instigation, they will suspect that their sons will set their sights on the throne and kill the emperor and their father. How much more so when someone maliciously instigates them before their death?
Furthermore, it was a fact that Zhu Huaining had colluded with the enemy and committed treason, that the Zhu family had a line of disloyalty, and that the Zhu family had a murderous streak. When the child in the Queen's womb was born, it would surely be a thorn in the Emperor's side, right?
No, after today's farce, can the baby in the queen's belly be born safely?
Will the emperor, who is extremely suspicious, really not have the intention to kill this child in the next ten months?
Under the sympathetic gaze of all the ministers, and in the despair of Song Cairen who was about to die, at this moment, the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out not far away.
"emperor--"
"Urgent report from the border, eight hundred miles away!"
"I wish General Huaining never betrayed the country. He razed the Xiyuan tribe seven days ago and is now leading his army back to the capital!"
The sudden sound in the silence made everyone look up.
What caught their eyes was a young general riding a black horse. He was wearing a black robe and a badge with gold letters on a black background hanging around his waist.
Those who possess this badge are responsible for delivering urgent reports from the border. After taking off their weapons, they can ride their horses into the palace unhindered!
So, this is really a young general from the border!
What he said about the 800-mile express report was also true!
Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they realized this!
The happiest ones were the generals who had fought alongside General Zhu. They shouted excitedly:
"Old Qin, did you hear that? General Zhu didn't collaborate with the enemy and betray the country! He didn't commit treason!"
"I heard it! Not only did the general not commit treason, he actually razed the Xiyuan tribe to the ground!"
"I knew the general wouldn't betray his country. He must be feigning surrender. He must be trying to infiltrate the enemy and wipe them out!"
Not only the military generals were happy, but the civil officials were no exception.
Every few years, the Xiyuan tribe would launch a large-scale invasion of their Daning border, and each time they would massacre countless people on their Daning western border.
Since the late emperor was still alive, there has been a war with the Xiyuan tribe every few years, and each time tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed and countless others injured.
In addition to casualties, the amount of money and various supplies spent on the war is also incalculable.
Now that Xiyuan has been razed to the ground, the people living on the western border of Daning will no longer have to suffer, and Daning will no longer have to spend huge amounts of money to fight against Xiyuan!
Amidst the joy of countless people, the dying Song Cairen felt particularly different...
She stared at the man and the horse with wide eyes, unable to believe that even if she risked her life, she couldn't make Zhu Wuhuan pay the price!
How is this possible?
Zhu Huaining did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but instead returned to the court in triumph. Would the emperor still believe that the child in Zhu Wuhuan's belly had unfaithful blood?
The seeds she tried to plant with her last breath were all in vain?
Why?
Why was it that Zhu Wuhuan caused her to lose her life, but she was unable to bring him down?
God is blind!
She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and died with her eyes wide open, filled with hatred.
It's a pity that no one cared about her death.
The young general in black grabbed the reins, jumped off the horse, and then walked quickly to the bottom of the stairs.
He knelt down with a thud, took out a newspaper from his arms, and held it high up.
"Your Majesty, please review this report written by General Zhu himself!"
"..." Looking at this young general, Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan both felt equally uneasy.
The reason why Feng Changye was in such a complicated mood was—
Historically, he killed the entire Zhu family. So when the old general led his troops back to the border of Daning from Xiyuan after many hardships, he unfortunately learned of the tragic fate of his family and died on the spot from vomiting blood.
Ever since he learned about this, he has always felt guilty towards General Zhu.
Now that the old general is finally coming back, he...
I really don’t know how to face the elderly.
The reason why Zhu Wuhuan was unable to calm down was that the old hero whom she had particularly admired when reading history books was about to come back as her father.
However, she and the old general are from different camps.
She wants to kill the tyrant and become the empress, while the old general swears to protect the Da Ning Dynasty with his life. I'm afraid that sooner or later, they will turn against each other in the future, right?
It makes me sad just thinking about it.
Feng Changye couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Zhu Wuhuan's thoughts.
He knew how to face the old general!
Respect him! Hold him in high esteem! Worship him like your own father!
He wanted the old general to always stand in his camp, and let his queen be scolded by her own father all day long, so that she would feel frustrated and unable to kill him!
"Very good!"
Feng Changye shouted happily and immediately signaled Xie Hong to receive the report.
Xie Hong immediately went to receive the imperial report and presented it to him respectfully.
He reached out to take it, tore open the wax-sealed envelope, and slowly unfolded the gold-embossed official bulletin inside.
The handwriting, as bold as the old general's temperament, instantly caught the eye!
But that first sentence was so bold that it almost slapped Feng Changye in the face.
——General Zhu Huaining of the Cavalry Respectfully wishes you the best: Your Majesty, before I report the main business, please allow me to first bow three times to thank Your Majesty for your trust in me, and thank Your Majesty for not believing the rumors that I was collaborating with the enemy and treason and executing my entire family!
“…” Feng Changye’s hands and heart trembled slightly at the same time.
