Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Queqi and Zhaoping have been together for so long that they have already developed a tacit understanding.

As soon as Zhao Ping's voice rang out, she immediately left the battle circle and retreated quickly.

Yanshan and her secret guards reacted quickly as well. Seeing the magpie retreating quickly, they also retreated quickly in another direction.

However, Zhaoping had already calculated the direction of their retreat.

Just as the two men retreated a few meters, the small black ball fell at their feet and exploded with a bang.

Princess Yanshan and her secret guards were hit directly by the explosion. They were blown away by the huge shock wave and hit a corner of the wall with a bang.

When he landed on the ground, Yanshan did not suffer any serious injuries except for numbness all over his body and a buzzing head.

However, at the critical moment of the explosion, the secret guard who held her in his arms and used his body to withstand all the damage for her was not so lucky.

His entire back was blown to pieces, and the back of his head and neck were severely injured.

Blood oozed out of his body, dripping onto Princess Yanshan's body and face.

Yanshan lay on the ground, feeling the warm liquid dripping onto his face.

He frowned, pushed away the body on top of him, turned over and sat up.

After Yanshan stood up, he turned around and saw the blood-soaked secret guard lying beside him. His heart tightened immediately: "Zong Qing, how are you?"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Zong Qing will no longer be able to protect you. You, take care of yourself."

Zong Qing looked at Princess Yanshan with eyes full of affection and subconsciously raised his hand as if he wanted to touch her face.

As a result, his fingers stopped involuntarily when they were still several inches away from her face.

Never mind, he was just her secret guard, and their identities were as different as heaven and earth.

What qualifications does he have to dream of touching the princess?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the breath he had been holding with great effort suddenly dissipated, and his fingers fell down weakly.

Yanshan stared blankly at Qingzong, whose body was covered in blood, his eyes closed and he had lost his breath, and he felt a strange pain in his heart.

After a moment she turned to look at the spy who had followed her in.

There are a total of forty-six people, and each of them is the elite of the Beiliang Spy Camp.

Now they have been almost wiped out, with only a few people still struggling to resist.

Yanshan lowered his eyes, then raised his head after a moment and shouted towards the row of houses in front:

"Empress Dowager Ruan, you win. I am now your prisoner. I wonder if you can come out and see me."

"Princess Yanshan, I've heard a lot about you." Ruan Qing pushed open the door and walked out. He walked step by step to a place about four or five meters away from Princess Yanshan, stood still, looked down at her and spoke.

"I don't deserve your admiration, Your Majesty, compared to your wisdom of waiting for the opportunity.

My recklessness and arrogance seem particularly ridiculous.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can take the Queen Mother with me, I still won't lose this game."

Before she finished her last sentence, Princess Yanshan had already leapt towards Ruan Qing.

However, just as she moved, she was kicked away by a ghostly magpie.

At the moment he kicked her away, Queqi felt such a strong danger alarm that all the hairs on his body stood up.

After flying out, Princess Yanshan had a look of triumph and threat on her face, and she raised her other hand, which had been clenched tightly.

A black lump that was twice as big as the small black ball in Ruan Qing's hand was thrown towards them.

Before he could think, the soft sword bounced up with a clang.

The tip of the sword hit the iron lump with a clever force, and the small lump was bounced into the air.

And she retreated with Ruan Qing.

The lump of iron flew more than ten meters before exploding in the air with a bang.

A hole was blown out in the roof closest to the iron lump, and tiles flew everywhere.

The roof ridge was at least five or six meters away from the iron lump, so its power was much stronger than that of the small black ball.

Queqi broke out in a cold sweat. If her action had been a little slower, more than half of the people on the scene would have died, not to mention herself and the Queen Mother who would have been the first to bear the brunt.

After she recovered from her shock, she turned around and rushed towards Princess Yanshan, who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and slashed at her with her sword.

This person is too crazy. I can't feel at ease unless I kill her.

"Don't kill her. The Queen Mother promised me that she would not kill her." At this moment, an urgent voice sounded.

Queqi frowned and deflected the sword in time, not hitting the vital point, but still seriously injuring Princess Yan.

There was a wound on Yanshan's left chest that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and the blood instantly soaked his clothes.

She seemed oblivious to this, and instead turned her gaze to the person who had just spoken:

"Zhou Huaimin, you are a traitor who betrays me, right?"

"He has never betrayed you, nor has he ever betrayed any information about any Beiliang spies." It was Ruan Qing, not Zhou Huaimin, who answered.

"What? Queen Dowager Ruan has started to win people's hearts so quickly? But if this person can betray me today, he can betray you in the future." Princess Yanshan sneered.

"I'm telling the truth, he really never betrayed you, and your failure in today's operation has nothing to do with him.

At best he just had a fight with me.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival at Yaoyuefang, he failed in his attempt to assassinate me and was captured by me.

In order to prevent the princess and your spies from being caught in one fell swoop, he chose not to help Beiliang or Daxi, but to be a bystander. "Ruan Qing said.

"Isn't what the Queen Mother said a lie? He tried to assassinate you first, and after failing, he refused to do anything for you. Can you let him go?" Yanshan sneered.

"Why not? The reason he hates Daxi's royal family and officials and wants to kill me is because Daxi betrayed him first.

His parents and family members died for no reason at the hands of corrupt officials. He felt hatred in his heart and wanted to take revenge in a fair and reasonable manner.

I have no direct relationship with his parents' death, but as the Queen Mother of Daxi, I also have to bear the consequences." Ruan Qing said calmly.

“I didn’t expect that the Queen Mother of Daxi is such a saint with such a big heart of love. I’m so sorry.

So, your order to have all the Chai family members thrown into jail was just a show?" Princess Yanshan stared at Ruan Qing.

"I promised Zhou Huaimin not to kill you, and I won't break my promise. As for the rest, Princess, you might as well wait for some time. The war should give you the answer.

The princess will have to stay here for a while. Get up, have someone bandage the princess's wounds and arrange a room for her. "After saying this, Ruan Qing turned and left.

"Zhou Huaimin, the biggest mistake I have made in my life is saving you, an ungrateful wolf."

After Ruan Qing left, Princess Yanshan once again turned her gaze to Zhou Huaimin, her eyes filled with hatred.

“Huai Min has already repaid your Highness’s kindness over the years.

To this day, I have not done anything to harm you.

Even though I promised Queen Mother Ruan that we would not help each other, I still couldn't help but remind you, but you didn't listen." Zhou Huaimin met her hateful gaze and spoke calmly.

He originally thought that he would be embarrassed in front of Yanshan on the day when the truth was revealed.

Unexpectedly, when he really faced it, his heart was surprisingly calm.
