Chapter 486: It will last forever (end of article)

Xie Zhuoning said coldly: "No."

"I don't believe it." Yan Hongyue seemed very confident in herself, "When His Royal Highness Prince Xuan sees what you are about to face, he will definitely not have the heart to let you suffer."

It was not until Xie Zhuoning was taken to the battlefield that she understood why Yan Hongyue was so confident.

Because the large bronze cauldron was pulled by six horses, and it was filled with poisonous snakes of varying sizes.

Xie Zhuoning recognized it immediately, "Scorpion pot?"

Yan Hongyue curled her lips, "That's right. Do you see that skeleton over there? It belongs to your Minister of Rites Zhu Ming. He screamed the whole night. How long can you hold out if you fall down with such tender skin and flesh?"

Xie Zhuoning also raised the corners of his lips, "Just give it a try and you'll know, right?"

The war drums beat, and the two armies faced off.

Xie Zhuoning was tied to a rack and pushed to the front of the formation.

On the city wall, Xiao Jinxuan saw Xie Zhuoning's figure and wished he could fly down directly.

But he saw Xie Zhuoning's lip shape clearly.

She said, don't worry.

The city took a long time to capture and they didn't have much time to waste, so right from the start, Yan Hongyue used Xie Zhuoning to threaten Xiao Jinxuan.

Not only did they ask him to withdraw his troops, they also asked him to write an imperial decree of abdication.

Xie Zhuoning couldn't stand it any longer. "How dare you think like that? Why don't you just find a pillow to lean on and have a dream during the day?"

Yan Hongyue spat, "You are dying, but you are still stubborn. Since your husband doesn't love you, I will love you well."

She drove the poisonous snake up the pole and onto her feet and body.

But Xie Zhuoning was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Insect control, I also know how to do that."

After she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned cold and she murmured tenderly.

The poisonous snake that was just controlled by Yan Hongyue suddenly lost control, began to crawl out of the scorpion pot, and swam around in the military camp.

The generals were in a panic, trying to catch the poisonous snake, but the snake moved quickly and was not easy to catch, so they were in a mess in an instant.

If you don't catch them, who knows if those poisonous snakes will suddenly bite you?

These poisonous snakes are a disaster to them.

Yan Hongyue couldn't whistle, so she immediately took out her flute to control the snake.

Yang Lie took advantage of the chaos, led his men, rushed into the tent, and captured Xiao Bicheng.

Xiao Bicheng looked incredulous, "You were also instigated to rebel?"

He originally thought that Yang Lie was the one least likely to betray.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lie said, "What are you talking about? I have never been yours from the beginning to the end."

After saying this, he dragged Xiao Bicheng out of the tent and shouted, "The fake emperor is executed! The fake emperor is executed!"

The snake disaster disrupted the morale of the army, and the capture of the prince disrupted the people's hearts. Without a core that held the land together, it would be easy for others to divide and break it.

Xiao Jinxuan had experience in the military camp and was an expert at deploying troops. He immediately divided the troops and cut up the battlefield, and ordered Feiyun Guard to cooperate with Yang Lie to capture the bandits and the leader.

The battle was over in less than half a day.

Duke Xin's Xichuan Army was completely suppressed by the numerically superior Southern Ming Army.

Moreover, many of the Southern Ming army had originally joined the army from the Green Forest Alliance and were most familiar with the habits of the Xichuan army, so they attacked with unstoppable force.

There were only a few remnants of the Zhou Kingdom left. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately escorted Princess Jing'an and her family away.

But before he walked far, he ran into Ling Feng holding a sword.

By the evening, this tough battle finally came to an end.

All the culprits were brought to justice, and Xie Zhuoning had long been rescued. He took a bath and changed into clean clothes.

Until this moment, Xiao Jinxuan hugged her tightly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even he himself didn't know how he had gotten through this period of time.

Although he knew that she was planning to cooperate with Yang Lie from the inside and outside to help him, he was always nervous when he thought about her being pregnant and falling into the hands of thieves.

"If I don't do this, how can I lure them all out? Okay, okay, it's okay."

The only person who was out of control in this matter was Princess Yunheng.

Xiao Jinxuan comforted her and said that he had sent people to chase after him at full speed, and they should be able to catch him before entering Northern Qi.

Xie Zhuoning nodded dejectedly. This was all that could be done.

After returning to the capital, Xiao Jinxuan became busy again. Not only was he busy with state affairs, he was also busy interrogating Princess Jing'an and others.

When Emperor Zhaowen first ascended the throne, the country was weak. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty allied with the Northern Qi Dynasty and defeated Daye. Emperor Zhaowen had no choice but to send his sister, Princess Jing'an, to the Zhou Dynasty to marry.

Unexpectedly, after Princess Jing'an got married, she fell in love with Emperor Wu of Zhou and finally became pregnant.

But at this time, the repaired Daye, led by Xie Ting, attacked the Zhou Kingdom and incorporated the Zhou Kingdom into the territory of Daye Kingdom, and at the same time rescued Princess Jing'an.

By that time, Princess Jing'an had already buried the hatred for her husband's murder deep in her heart.

Later, under the arrangement of Emperor Zhaowen, Princess Jing'an remarried to the widower Jiang He, Duke of Zhao.

Duke Zhao lost his wife and son for his loyalty to the country, and he himself was disabled, so he felt that he was not worthy of the princess. Not only was he willing to be used by her, he also treated the child in Princess Jing'an's belly as if it were her own.

Yes, Jiang Yao was the posthumous son of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Princess Jing'an wants to restore her country, not only for revenge, but also to allow her son to ascend the throne legitimately.

As for Xiao Bicheng, he remained silent after being brought back. The first thing he said was that he wanted to see Xie Zhuoning.

Xie Zhuoning asked Xia Ju to accompany her.

Xiao Bicheng looked much more haggard, as if he had aged 10 or 20 years.

He raised his head and looked at Xie Zhuoning, as if he couldn't figure out something. "Why don't you help me in this life?"

Xie Zhuoning was shocked, "You are reborn?"

"Yes, I was reborn, but why did I become like this? Sister Zhuoning, you must help me, help me take back everything. I swear, I will never let you down!"

Looking at Xiao Bicheng's ugly and dirty face, Xie Zhuoning suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very happily.

Good, very good, the grudges of two lifetimes are settled together.

She brushed away Xiao Bicheng like brushing away dregs, "Excuse me, please address me as the Empress."

Xiao Bicheng lost control and said, "Empress, how can you be the Empress?!"

Yes, he made herself a seductive concubine for a lifetime, took advantage of her for a lifetime, and then told her that his position as queen was reserved for other women.

But in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, there was no other candidate for that position except her.

Turning around, she ordered her servants, "Don't let him die."

She wanted Xiao Bichen to live like he was now, in pain and helplessness, so that he could experience what true despair was.

June 6th.

The Zhenbei Army drove the Northern Qi away and returned with a great victory.

The Zhenbei Marquis Xie Ting and his son Xie Minglang returned to Beijing to receive an award.

Xie Zhuoning was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes when he saw his father and brother.

I heard that Xie Minglang had performed another great feat today. Not only did he lead his team to single-handedly capture a noble nest of Northern Qi, he also rescued someone from inside.

Xie Zhuoning took a closer look. Well, she said that the people sent by Xiao Jinxuan couldn't find her. It turned out that she had been rescued by her own brother a long time ago!

Princess Yunheng stuck to Xie Zhuoning after she came back. She would ask him every day, "Sister Ning, is your brother married? Do you think I am a good match?"

Xie Zhuoning was so annoyed that he went to ask Xie Minglang.

As a result, when his younger brother heard that he wanted to marry Princess Shang, he was so scared that he shook his head again and again, "No, no, how can Princess Shang achieve success in the future?"

Xie Zhuoning didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

I am happy that my younger brother has grown up.

What worries me is that my younger brother is too sensible.

End of the year.

Xie Zhuoning's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiao Jinxuan left all the affairs of the court to the left prime minister Shen Li'an and Murong Yan, and hid away to accompany Xie Zhuoning.

But when I arrived at her palace, I found it was very lively.

Song Yuqiu, Yunheng, Yang Yijun, Xiaju, Perilla, Amber, Isatis, Pinellia... a large group of people surrounded her in the middle, talking and laughing.

This makes Xiao Jinxuan, a decent husband, look like an outsider.

At this moment, Xie Zhuoning's smile froze, and she covered her belly and said, "I think I'm about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan rushed straight in!

As a result, before he could even meet Xie Zhuoning, Song Yuqiu chased him out, "Get out, get out, don't get in trouble here."

The door was closed, and Xiao Jinxuan could only stand outside, listening to Xie Zhuoning's screams, which were getting louder and louder.

He thought, why isn't it over yet?

Is giving birth so painful?

Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, he didn't want her to have another child...

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the midwife come out holding two children, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's twins, a little prince and a little princess!"

But Xiao Jinxuan didn't even look at the two children. He rushed into the house and held Xie Zhuoning's hand.

At that moment, he realized that his hands were shaking.

Xie Zhuoning laughed.

She was the one who gave birth to the child, but why did he act like he had died once?

Xiao Jinxuan lowered his head and kissed her tremblingly.

He thought, let it go on like this forever.
