Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

The first year of Fengde, August 28th.

On the ninth day after Chai Qiong was taken away from Su Lin, the Minister of Justice Lin Haoming brought dozens of internal guards and imperial edicts to the Chai family, a prominent family in Qi and Lu, and threw all the members of the Chai family into jail.

A few days later, all the military commanders of the Chai family serving in various border posts were dismissed and imprisoned at the same time.

Before long, rumors began to spread that various new emperors and empresses had come to power with the intention of suppressing the aristocratic families, dismissing the old ministers, and wholeheartedly making room for those who supported them.

On September 25, Northern Liang assembled an army of 300,000 and launched a fierce attack on the northern border of Daxi.

The people in the north were in a panic due to a series of actions by the imperial court, and were caught off guard and lost several small cities.

When Princess Yanshan received the news, her brows relaxed and she smiled happily.

Things were really going according to their plan. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before their Northern Liang army could march to the Central Plains.

Feeling proud, he couldn't help but call Zhou Huaimin over and said, "Mr. Zhou, weren't you worried that Daxi was setting a trap for us by escorting Yin Zhen back to Beijing?

Now you see, isn’t everything going as I expected?

This palace tells you that the thoughts of those in a high position are different from those of ordinary people.

From the moment Yin Zhen attempted to assassinate Queen Dowager Daehui as a member of the Chai family, the Chai family as a military family was doomed to fall. "

Zhou Huaimin didn't say a word. He looked at Princess Yanshan, who couldn't hide the smug expression on her face, and felt quite complicated for a moment.

I wonder how the princess would feel when she finds out that all this was a setup by Queen Mother Ruan and when the news of Northern Liang’s defeat comes.

"What's that expression on your face? Unhappy?

Oh, I almost forgot, you are originally from Daxi, so you can't help but have some nostalgia for your hometown, you won't leak the secret, right?"

Yanshan looked at his strange expression, the smile on his face paused, and a look of scrutiny flashed across his eyes.

"Your Highness, you worry too much. My parents and family members died for no reason at the hands of Daxi officials. I have nothing but endless hatred for them in my heart. I don't have any feelings for them, just some emotion." Zhou Huaimin restrained his expression and lowered his eyes.

"It's good that you think so. Don't leave Yaoyuefang today. Stay here. Come with me to do something big tomorrow." Yanshan withdrew his gaze.

"I wonder what Your Highness wants to do?" Zhou Huaimin asked.

"You'll know when the time comes. Go down." Yanshan had no intention of explaining and waved his hand to let him leave.

The second day of October, at the Qiao family’s ancestral home.

The war has begun, and it is unknown whether Daxi can win this battle.

Ruan Qing stood in the courtyard, feeling a little heavy as he watched Banban eating with his head down.

Even though she and the court had made comprehensive arrangements, things on the battlefield changed rapidly.

With hundreds of thousands of enemy troops approaching, no one knows what the final outcome will be.

"Madam, don't worry. I believe that the winner of this battle will be our Da Xi." Queqi, who was standing next to her, saw the worry on her face and spoke.

"Aunt, I also believe that our Da Xi will be the winner of this battle. My intuition has always been accurate." Zhao Ping also spoke.

Jiang Yuan was not in the house. She had left Su Lin and rushed to the front line a few days ago.

“Well, I also believe that our Daxi will be the winner.

Queqi got up and gave orders, asking everyone to cheer up, as the battle on the front line had begun.

The enemy's spies lurking in Su Lin should also take action.

If we let them take my head and hang it on their flag in Daliang at this moment, then Da Xi will probably be defeated without a fight."

Ruan Qing looked up at the blue sky above his head and said.

On the third day of October, at midnight, the Qiao family's ancestral home was quiet and everyone seemed to have fallen asleep.

Dozens of dark shadows suddenly appeared outside the pitch-black wall.

As soon as these people appeared, they jumped onto the roof like ghosts and jumped into the yard.

The yard was quiet, without any movement.

One of the burly men in black couldn't help but whisper to a slender figure next to him:

"Your Highness, something seems to be wrong. This is where the Empress Dowager lives anyway, so it's impossible not to have people on guard.

As a result, so many of us sneaked in, but no one discovered it..."

"We've already come in. It's too late to retreat now. As long as there aren't a large number of soldiers hidden in the house, we won't be afraid of any traps.

I have been sending people to keep an eye on this place. Empress Dowager Ruan did not go out the whole day today. She stayed in the second courtyard.

As long as we can take off Queen Mother Ruan’s head, even if more people are sacrificed, this mission will still be a success.

Go ahead, rush in.”

The slender figure also felt that something was wrong, but she was unwilling to let them leave without doing anything since they had already come in.

He gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and led everyone to rush towards the second courtyard.

But just as I rushed to the second courtyard, the originally dark room was suddenly lit up, and the windows and doors were silently pushed open.

Countless archers appeared at every window and door.

"Your Highness, we've fallen into a trap. Let's go." The burly figure's pupils shrank when he saw this. He grabbed the thin figure next to him and rushed to the roof like a phantom.

But before he set foot on the roof, a girl holding a sword suddenly appeared on the empty roof.

But the girl raised her hands and slashed at the two men with the sword without hesitation.

The burly man in black raised the knife in his hand to block, and with a bang, he, who was carrying a person in his hand, was suddenly chopped to the ground like a cannonball.

Fortunately, the man he caught was also very skilled in martial arts, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he slapped the ground hard.

The two of them used the force to land safely on the ground.

A group of the men in black below have been killed by archers, and the rest are fighting fiercely with the enemy.

"Princess Yanshan came to my humble home in the middle of the night. If I let you go like this, wouldn't it show that I, Daxi, don't know how to entertain guests?"

The girl on the roof jumped down, looked at the two of them with a smile and spoke.

This girl was none other than Queqi.

"Don't talk nonsense. The outcome is still unknown." The slender person in black, Princess Yanshan, snorted, drew the scimitar from her waist, and rushed towards Queqi.

The burly man in black next to him did not dare to delay and rushed forward with a knife in hand.

The move just now had already made him realize that if he fought alone, His Highness would definitely not be a match for the girl in front of him.

Yanshan's Kung Fu is very sinister, while the burly man in black's Kung Fu is very strong and fierce.

Queqi was outnumbered two at once and couldn't gain any advantage for a while.

Alas, my martial arts are not good enough, otherwise if I go out and help my sister, we can capture the princess alive in no time.

Zhaoping, who was watching the battle in one of the rooms, was eager to make a move.

But fighting head-on won’t work, you can use hidden weapons. Zhao Ping looked at it for a moment and his eyes turned slightly.

She immediately changed the window, holding two small black balls in her hands, and when Queqi and Princess Yanshan were fighting not far from this room, she suddenly threw the small black balls in her hands out.

The moment he threw it out, he warned: "Sister Queqi, get out of the way."
