Chapter 258 It’s dangerous outside!
The Chen family is very powerful in Beijing.
The abdication was premeditated. Although Yun Zhao was not completely unaware of it, she had been in power for too short a time and was not yet able to put up a strong resistance.
"Yun Zhao, you must step down from the position of Empress Dowager, hand over the Emperor's seal, and be imprisoned in Yongkang Palace forever. You will never be allowed to leave. As long as you agree to this, I can still let you go today!"
The Chen family surrounded the outside, while Xie Jingmo led Guo Tao's elite soldiers to guard the inside.
When Fu Hai saw Yun Zhao appear, his eyes trembled violently.
"Didn't General Xie say that you were taken care of? Why are you out now? It's dangerous outside!"
When Xie Jingmo suddenly turned around and saw Yun Zhao, he almost lost his composure at first sight.
He said angrily, "What are you doing out here?!"
Yun Zhao stepped forward and stood in front of the soldiers guarding the entrance. "I am Yun Zhao, and I am also the current Queen Mother. There are traitors who are committing treason. I have requested external assistance and need your full support. I promise to reward you according to your merits and promote you to higher positions in the future! I am leaving this in your hands!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up!
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"
Yun Zhao nodded, then looked at Xie Jingmo, "If you want people to work for you, they must be scheming for something. You're just a general, and it's not legitimate. I have to make a promise to make it legitimate."
Of course Xie Jingmo knew.
Can--
"It's dangerous out here!"
Yun Zhao had a chair pulled over and sat down, her eyes gazing outwards with a stern expression. "I am the current Empress Dowager. I am sitting here and watching what will become of this traitor and traitor."
The Chen family understood that Yun Zhao must have gone to ask for external help, so they tried to attack, but Guo Tao's elite troops were indeed powerful, and they could not get in for a while.
Afterwards, the brothers who had been at the border came to support from outside, and the Chen family was unable to attack immediately for a while.
It's late at night.
Yun Zhao sat on the armchair.
Xie Jingmo glanced at her and said, "Are you tired? If so, go in and take a rest."
People outside can rest, but people inside need to be on guard at all times. Late at night is the best cover for attack. Xie Jingmo and Yun Zhao both know this.
Yun Zhao drank tea and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Xie Jingmo was silent for a moment, "I thought you would leave."
Yun Zhao glanced at him. He looked weak and not as mighty as he was at the frontier. But his eyes were still firm, as if he would risk his life to protect her.
The night gradually deepened.
As expected, the Chen family launched the most violent offensive since the siege.
After that, restart every half hour.
This goes on and on, and even the strongest people inside are exhausted.
On the fifth day, the people inside could no longer hold on.
Only Xie Jingmo, wearing a red cloak and armor, stood in front of Yun Zhao, as if to block all external attacks.
On the eighth day, the outer door was completely broken.
The two sides finally faced each other face to face.
Yun Zhao sat in the middle of the group. The Chen family members looked at her viciously, "Yun Zhao, you vicious woman! You actually plotted to kill Queen Chen, and even planned this to take the position of Queen yourself. You will not live a good life!"
Yun Zhao looked at the Chen family members who were leading the group with indifferent eyes.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, she doesn't need to say more.
On the battlefield, only strength can speak.
When the Chen family was about to rush in, the ground suddenly collapsed and they were trapped in a mechanism designed by Yun Zhao.
This is the last line of defense.
All that remains is a fight for life and death.
Xie Jingmo turned to Yun Zhao and said, "You go to the cave to find Mu Chengyan first. It will take time. People from outside will definitely come to support you. Now, after all the negotiations, only one day is left. In just one day, you can get what you want!"
Yun Zhao remained motionless.
Xie Jingmo was anxious, "Yun Zhao! Be obedient! These people are here to kill you, can't you see?"
"Of course I can see that," Yun Zhao finally spoke. She looked at Xie Jingmo, "I'm very grateful that you're standing here now, but this is what I have to face. I don't abandon my brothers on the battlefield. If my fate is still like this, I will never struggle."
Yun Zhao's eyes were calm.
Xie Jingmo's hand, which was tightly gripping the spear, slowly loosened.
then.
As if deflated.
"I can never win over you."
A moment later.
Xie Jingmo clenched his spear, "If that's the case, then fine! Brothers, we will stand with the Queen Mother! We swear to defend her until the very end!"
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"
For a moment, morale was high.
Unexpectedly, they held out for ten days. When the reinforcements arrived, Yun Zhao stood up from his seat calmly and dignifiedly.
She looked down at the Chen family members kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Drag them out of the Meridian Gate and behead them in public!"
This is the decisiveness that a queen mother should have!
Everyone was rewarded that day.
After the war, the palace was covered in blood, with corpses everywhere and fireworks spreading, burning the sky red.
Yun Zhao had finished dealing with all the matters, but Xie Jingmo had not left yet.
Yun Zhao raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Do you want to fall here with me?"
Xie Jingmo had held on for ten days, but now he had reached his physical limit. His already weak body was now on the verge of collapse.
Xie Jingmo laughed, the blood on his face had already solidified, and he looked broken.
He held the spear in his hand to support his body, and after a long time, he laughed.
But don't wait for the laughter to end.
His body fell heavily backward.
The whole person fell to the ground with a thud.
Fell into coma.
It's late at night.
The imperial physician knelt before Yun Zhao and said, "General Xie, the poison was not cured before. Now your body is too damaged. You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you may suffer from chronic illness in the future."
Yun Zhao glanced at Xie Jingmo, who had his eyes closed and his brow furrowed, and whispered, "Call a few more people to take turns watching over him at night, so nothing goes wrong."
Everyone responded, "Yes."
Yun Zhao left, and when the maid was helping him to sleep, Yun Zhao suddenly stopped beside the bed.
After a long time, she got out of bed.
Fu Hai was puzzled outside, "Queen Mother, it's so late, where are you going? Please wait, I will get you a lamp."
Yun Zhao went to the secret passage where Xie Jingmo had taken her and Mu Chengyan before.
I pressed the mechanism and it was dark inside.
She walked in and called out, "Muchengyan?"
No response.
Yun Zhao shouted again, and Fu Hai lit the candle in the secret passage, but it was empty inside.
Yun Zhao stood in the middle, feeling lost.
Mu Chengyan left.
"Her Majesty, here is a letter that appears to be written by the Prince Regent himself."
Yun Zhao took the letter and unfolded it.
Mu Chengyan's free and easy words came into view.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm leaving. This time I came back, I deeply felt that I was no longer useful to you. This time, I once again deeply felt it, so I'm leaving. Don't be sad. I will wait for you in Liziguai. If you want to come back one day, I will bring the freshest lotus pods to welcome you."
The curtain city extends the pen.
Xie Jingmo wants to marry Guo Aiai.
Guo Tao was stabbed to death - make a design.
The stone gate opened, leaving a letter, "I will always wait for you in Liziguai", and Mu Chengyan left.
