Chapter 905: Entanglement of Life and Death
"First, take your relatives to prison, and I will deal with them when I return victoriously."
Xuan Jichuan waved his hand and left with his sword.
Civil and military officials slumped on the ground powerlessly. Someone murmured to himself, "He is a complete lunatic, completely devoid of humanity and..." Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered.
"You're crazy!" The adult next to him looked around vigilantly.
But the man pried his hands apart, and there was no light in his dark eyes, only dead silence.
"What's the point of being loyal to a king like this? Being loyal to a king who is cruel and merciless and who slaughters people at will?"
"He is so moody. Even if he doesn't die today, he will die tomorrow."
"It's over, it's over..." He staggered to his feet, shouting "It's over" as he walked out step by step.
Dong Ling's heart was scattered.
Bai Hehua sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing her loose hair bit by bit. The face reflected in the bronze mirror was exactly the same as her original appearance.
She lost a lot of weight and her belly became more prominent.
"Your Majesty, the officials outside the door want to see you."
Bai Hehua didn't even blink, she just combed her hair gently: "Let them go, I can't persuade him."
The palace maid knew that she was not in good condition, but she had to persuade her: "I heard that His Majesty wants to massacre nearly 90,000 people in three cities."
"Today, two old ministers threatened to die in the court, and their blood was splattered three feet, but it did not change your majesty's mind. Your majesty even... wants to exterminate their three clans."
The comb in Bai Hehua's hand fell to the ground with a snap.
"He... wants to massacre three cities? Tens of thousands of civilians?"
"Are you going to wipe out the three tribes?" Her eyes were dead silent.
She took a deep breath and said, "Let them go back. I can't persuade him."
The palace maid pursed her lips, but had no choice but to go out and report.
"My lady, it's late, take a rest."
Bai Hehua stood up, holding her belly and said, "I'll go see Nian'er." She walked out of the door with difficulty, holding her belly slightly. Since returning to Dongling, Xuan Jichuan had never seen her once.
"Where is His Highness?" asked the palace servant.
The palace servant outside the door knelt down and replied: "Your Highness is still young, but he is very hardworking and is still reading. The servants have advised him several times, but Your Highness has not rested."
Bai Hehua waved her hand and pushed the door open.
The small figure sat upright. Due to premature birth and insufficient fetal size, he had been thin since childhood.
She stayed by her child's side for countless days and nights, and survived several crises.
The imperial physician said that he had a strong will to live.
"Mother." Seeing Bai Hehua coming in, he put down the brush in his hand and walked quickly forward to greet his mother.
"It's late at night, why haven't you slept yet? You've finally recovered, you can't get sick again." Bai Hehua pinched his hand, it was warm, not cold.
"I know my body well. If I am too tired, I will take a rest."
"If my son works harder and is more obedient, I will be happy."
"Your son wants mother to be happy." He smiled with curved eyes and was very well-behaved and obedient.
Bai Hehua felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but bend down and hug Nian'er.
Although he was so well-behaved and hardworking, Xuan Jichuan didn't even look at him.
This was his only child, but he never gave her the warmth and affection between father and son. In fact, Nian'er's face looks very much like his original appearance.
Bai Hehua sobbed softly: "Nian'er is fine, Nian'er doesn't need to prove anything, you are the best child in the Queen Mother's heart."
"Nian'er, your mother is proud of you."
Her Nian'er is always trying to prove herself and wants to get Xuan Jichuan's praise.
"Nian'er can do better." The little prince raised his fist, his eyes sparkling.
He stood on tiptoe and clumsily wiped his mother's tears: "When Nian'er does better, father will also value you. Mother, don't cry in the future, Nian'er will protect you." Bai Hehua almost cried after hearing this.
She hugged her son and kissed him for a long time before coaxing him to put down his pen, wash up and take a rest.
When the child fell asleep, Bai Hehua gently kissed Nian'er on her fair and delicate forehead.
A tear fell on the child, and there was infinite tenderness in her eyes.
"Mother is sorry for you, Nian'er." You shouldn't have been born in a false illusion.
Her love was deceived.
She stroked her cheek, it was her fault.
White Lotus did not sleep all night, sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Staring blankly at myself in the mirror.
On the second day, before dawn, the sound of war drums could be heard outside.
"We heard that His Majesty Beizhao is going to the battlefield in person. I'm afraid there will be a tough battle between Dongling and Beizhao." The palace servants were extremely worried, and almost everyone had a worried look on their face.
Their king wanted to massacre the city, and they felt sad.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" When the palace maid saw her leaving, she hurriedly chased after her.
The white lotus flowers are not wearing any makeup, their faces are bare, and they are wearing a green lotus skirt, just like blooming lotus flowers.
When Bai Hehua stood on the city wall, Xuan Jichuan didn't even look back.
He was wearing armor and holding a blood-stained sword, just like before.
Opposite him was Xie Chengxi.
He pointed his sword to the sky and said, "Xie Chengxi, if you marry her to me, I will give you ten cities as a betrothal gift. From now on, Dongling will submit to me and be under Beizhao!"
"If you don't want to, then the people in this city will become the souls of the dead under this sword."
"Kill ten thousand people a day, how long can you last?" Don't you claim to be the most philanthropic? Lu Chaochao and tens of thousands of lives, how will you choose? !
He had long been entangled in the hell from which he could no longer escape.
At this moment, the laughter was wanton and arrogant.
Xie Chengxi and Lu Yanshu looked solemnly at the countless innocent civilians who were captured in front of them. All of them knelt on the ground, sobbing silently.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have killed him directly!" Xie Chengxi frowned, looking at the crowd of people in front of him, regretting that he had not taken action earlier.
Lu Yanshu did not turn around: "If you take action, other countries will lose trust in Beizhao, and Dongling will also attack the whole country."
"The world will fall apart."
"He cannot die in Beizhao."
Once you die in Beizhao, there will be endless troubles.
Xuan Jichuan looked at the two of them, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Kill!" Before the word fell, he heard a scream from behind.
"The Queen."
Xuan Jichuan turned around reflexively and saw a snow-white figure standing on the high city wall.
Her figure is delicate and pretty, without any makeup, like a lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained. She walked barefoot on the cold city wall. The breeze blew, her dress fluttered, and her belly bulged slightly. He frowned.
The white lotus dances barefoot, with her hair loose.
The scene in front of Xuan Jichuan's eyes gradually overlapped with his memory.
Under the moon, the girl, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, smiled and called him: "Brother Xuan..." She sang song after song, not knowing the hardship, until she was exhausted and fell into his arms.
That day, they promised the afterlife.
"Brother Xuan, I regret it..." I shouldn't have asked for things that didn't belong to me.
This entanglement from life to life has long been an unsolvable karma.
