At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

As he spoke, Rong Yi had already grasped Chi Yao's chin and stuffed the sweat-smelling towel into her.

Seeing Chi Yao's eyes rolled back in disgust, Rong curled his lips, "It's even noisier than a cicada!"

"Let's go." He gestured and led everyone out of the dense forest.

The fresh scent of grass and wood, mixed with the scent of earth, goes straight into my nose.

The fallen leaves made a crunching sound as people stepped on them. Someone asked, "Why did she come out alone?"

Pei Qiu didn't know what he was thinking of, and sneered, "With the evil things Chi Yao did in the palace, who would sincerely follow her?"

Pairing eunuchs and palace maids was considered good, but what was even more disgusting was that the guards gang-raped the palace maids...

This woman was extremely jealous and could not bear to see any woman younger or prettier than herself living a comfortable life.

By the time they escorted Chi Yao back to the palace through the dense forest west of the city, the palace was already on fire.

In front of the palace gate, the surrendered Wu soldiers squatted together, and Helian Qing was tied up like a dumpling. He shouted at the Liang army at the top of his lungs.

"Mother, my mother is still in there, please save her, please save her——"

Xie Yuheng sat on the official hat chair that Rong Shi had brought in, his long legs crossed, his chin supported by one hand, looking lazy and dignified.

She looked at Helian Qing with interest.

I wonder what his expression would be if he found out that Chi Yao had already secretly run away?

As he was speaking, Rong Yi and others came from another road.

Chi Yao and her bag were thrown next to Helian Qing.

Helian Qing seemed to have his throat strangled and his voice stopped abruptly.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses and asked in confusion: "Oo? Mother? How did you get from there?"

"Why are your shoes and skirts wet? Mother, you are not feeling well. You should keep warm."

"But I'm glad you're alright. I thought you were still in the palace..."

Chi Yao closed her eyes and didn't want to look at him.

Who would have thought that Xie Yuheng would order someone to pull the handkerchief out of her mouth and pour a basin of cold water on it.

It was no use pretending to be fainted. Facing the young man's smiling eyes, Chi Yao wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood!

Her hair stuck to her face, making her features look even more hideous, and her voice was full of venom.

"I heard that the women of the Xie clan in Jiangling, Daliang, can stand and sit with the men."

"There are also trains that indirectly promote Daliang women to serve as officials. Every single one of these is the work of Marquis Jiangling."

"I am also a woman, why can't Marquis Jiangling let me go!"

After she finished yelling, tears welled up in her eyes and her tone softened, "I'm old, and the imperial physician said I don't have many years left to live."

"Before she reached the age of marriage, she left her homeland and married a woman from a faraway place, suffering all kinds of hardships."

"Now, I just want to live a miserable life and live out the rest of my life. This is my only wish..."

The old woman was in her fifties. Her voice was sad, and combined with her gray hair, she looked somewhat pitiful.

Helian Qing's eyes were red and his lips moved, "Mother, it's my son who is useless..."

Xie Yuheng noticed it keenly. Upon hearing this, Chi Yao's body stiffened and she couldn't help but chuckle.

She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "What a scene of loving mother and filial son."

"It's a good performance. Let's go and watch it!"

A copper coin was thrown out of his hand calmly, fell in front of Chi Yao, turned a few circles, and then fell down with a ding-dong.

A small amount of money was like a heavy punch, hitting Chi Yao hard in the face.

Rong Liu and others were standing behind, their eyes wide open, muttering, "When will it be our turn to do this job?"

The corner of Ye Cen's eyes twitched. She remembered these people. She thought they could seize power before?

At this time, King Xixian also came over and rolled his eyes at Chi Yao.

"If you don't know, you might think it was Daliang who first attacked Wusun. You are such a shameless woman!"

"Don't think that I don't know since I was in Xianbei. It was the previous one who did you marry into Wusun. What does it have to do with your majesty?"

These words seemed to step on Chi Yao's tail, and she sneered.

"Without my marriage, who would have helped Daliang to resist you northern barbarians?"

King Xixian touched his nose awkwardly. Wasn't his family poor before? They didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every winter...

Besides, it wasn't him who did it.

Ye Cen, thinking of the destroyed Dayue clan, stepped forward and stared straight into Chi Yao's eyes.

She clenched her hands into fists, her voice trembling with anger, "Don't talk as if you, Wusun and the Chi family, didn't benefit."

"You, Chi Yao, are like a snow lotus on Mount Kunlun, pure and flawless. You are the most wronged person in the world!"

Chi Yao was startled by the shouting, then looked at Ye Cen and sneered: "Little girl, you are also a girl."

"You should know the status of a woman from a noble family."

"Wusun and the Chi family benefited? What does that have to do with me?"

"Why is it that when I come it's not spring, but when I leave it's spring all over the city!!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, as if she wanted to express all the grievances she had suffered in her life.

Xie Yuheng curled his lips and smiled: "It's a coincidence that when I came, it wasn't spring, but when I left, the city was full of spring."

"It's not enough to tear up someone else's umbrella after getting wet in the rain, you also have to add hail to it."

"Do you really think that no one in Daliang knows what you have done?"

Wearing red clothes and a golden crown, with his belt fluttering in the wind, he has a dignified demeanor and is the most gentlemanly appearance.

She stepped forward, looking down at Chi Yao from above.

If Chi Yao was a general who led troops all year round, he would definitely be able to feel the strong murderous intent surrounding Xie Yuheng.

Helian Qing actually sensed something, and he tried to crawl towards Chi Yao and stand in front of the woman.

Then, he raised his head and glared at Xie Yuheng, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't say that envoys are not killed when two countries are at war. Even if they are prisoners, Daliang has military orders not to kill them!"

"You are only a third-rank county marquis. How dare you kill the queen mother of the enemy country in public?"

Xie Yuheng raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, turned around and drew out Rong Shi's sword.

Just when Helian Qing thought that she was going to kill him with a sword.

The sword passed in front of him, tearing the bundle apart, revealing the gold and silver jewelry inside, and the bright yellow dragon robe.

Rong Shi stepped forward, picked up the dragon robe, and unfolded it. Compared with the man's stature, the dragon robe was indeed too small.

Helian Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head in disbelief, looking at the woman behind him with difficulty, "Mother, you..."

He knew that his mother had a hard time in the palace before she became pregnant.

He knew that both the Chi family and Daliang were not good to his mother.

He knew all of his mother's unhappiness, including her complicated emotions towards him...

So when his mother wanted power, he gave it to her without fighting or competing for it.

His mother wanted to raise an army against Daliang, but he suppressed all opposition except that of General An.

He is useless, he is stupid and cannot be of any use, but mother...how can you want to replace him?

Ruling the country and ascending the throne as an empress are two different things.

He could give up power to his mother, but he could not tolerate his mother coveting his position.
