Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Gongze not only expressed his father's position, but also expressed the position of others: "The head of the Majing Kingdom shot an arrow letter in the first day, which said a lot of nonsense in an attempt to confuse people. But don't worry, Queen, no one in the city believes their nonsense. Everyone follows the Queen's lead and swears to defend every inch of Manzagang to the death."

As she spoke, she came across a scroll of silk. Wen Jiao took it with one hand and shook it, and the huge scroll unfolded immediately. Wen Cheng stood on tiptoe and could see it clearly from behind her. The scroll was written in elegant Tibetan, telling the story of the experiences of Leba and Sangmu over the years. The beautiful words and rich emotions were so heartbreaking to read.

As mentioned above, fifteen years ago, the witch queen Ha Xiang was jealous of the favor of the princess Zhuo Wa Sangmu and her son. She took advantage of the king's absence to force the princess to death and wanted to kill her children. Fortunately, the loyal palace steward and the wet nurse discovered their conspiracy and took Prince Lieba and Princess Sangmu out of the palace before Ha Xiang's followers. After hearing that the king was crazy and the witch queen had ascended the throne, they knew that staying in Manzagang would be a disaster, so they took the young prince and princess and fled to the country of Majin and raised them to adulthood.

Five years ago, the ruling Living Buddha of Majing Kingdom passed away. Before his death, he designated Prince Lieba, who was highly skilled in martial arts and extraordinary in martial arts, as the soul boy. After Prince Lieba ascended the throne as the king of Majing Kingdom, he missed his father who was imprisoned in the deep palace and his mother who was missing day and night. For this reason, he worked day and night, trained his troops, and vowed to kill the evil queen, save his father, and restore peace to Manzagang.

Here, Prince Leba and Princess Sangmu ask for a confession: The evil queen Haxiang has committed atrocities and plotted to murder the king. She is unworthy of being a queen, let alone a king. The people of Manzagang must recognize the evil queen's true face and take up arms to resist her tyranny. When the new king returns to the throne, he will be rewarded with a large territory.

The words on the letter were full of boldness and sharpness, which must be the handwriting of the beloved son. Wen Cheng felt sad and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was afraid that others would notice something strange, so she quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves and looked closely at Wen Jiao, not missing any reaction from her.

Wen Jiao took a quick glance and immediately knew the contents of the letter. She chuckled and said with interest, "It's hard for this fake prince to tell so many lies, and they are so convincing."

Wencheng was filled with bitterness, knowing that the identities of his children had been finalized. They were obviously the real royal blood, but from now on, in the mouths of the subjects of Manzagang, they could only be fakes, which was also a sin.

Wen Jiao threw the silk book into Gongze's arms and said, "The ruler of the Majin Kingdom is also interesting. He clearly covets the land and wealth of Manzagang, but he still pretends to be legitimate and makes up such a big story in an attempt to divide the people of Manzagang. He is really cunning and despicable!"

Gongze immediately echoed with a contemptuous tone: "This move is indeed too despicable. Fortunately, we Manzagang people are very sensible. If we don't even trust our wise and intelligent queen, how can we believe the lies of the king of another country who invaded our territory? There is no such reason!"

Wencheng couldn't help but bury her head. No matter how much time had passed, she could never get used to the queen's self-righteous behavior of lying without thinking or blushing.

Wen Jiao walked to the throne in the center, sat on the tiger skin mattress, tapped the armrests with her fingers, and smiled, "Let's take a step back. Even if the king of Majin is really the son of the former princess, so what? I have four sons and two daughters, all of them are smart and beautiful, and each of them is a good candidate for the crown prince. Do you think that the son of a princess, relying on the help of other countries' troops, can compete with the princes and princesses born to my mother?"

This is the truth! Gongze's heart trembled, and he also showed an angry expression on his face: "He is wishful thinking! With the little prince and princess, even if he is really the princess's son, we will not recognize him. Besides, they are just two fakes. All the nobles, ministers, and people in Manzagang will not recognize them."

Although she had expected this, Wen Cheng's heart still sank slightly at his statement. She knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.

She couldn't imagine what kind of situation her children would face after the failure. After all, they were her flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy. Every day and night over the years, she couldn't help but imagine what they looked like, even though she had long since forgotten what their father looked like.

But at the same time, she didn't want the queen to lose. She couldn't think of anyone who could do a better job than Ha Xiang on the throne of Manzagang. The former king couldn't do it, and her son probably couldn't do it either. Since she had done her best, she couldn't allow a second person to replace her, let alone Leba, who came with an army from another country and wanted to step on the corpses of the people of Manzagang to ascend the throne.

In addition, there was a subtle thought that she was unwilling to face. Would the queen be willing to give her the power and trust she had given her if Leba succeeded to the throne?

Even though, she was already the Queen Mother at that time?

Wencheng didn't dare to think about it too much.

Wen Jiao was very satisfied with Gong Ze's statement. She waved her hand and said, "You go down and rest first. Call all the generals in an hour and we will discuss the strategy to defeat the enemy." She caught a glimpse of Wen Cheng standing there in a daze. Knowing that she was feeling mixed emotions, she said, "National Master, go and rest as well." She also called Rang Guo who was beside Wen Cheng and said, "I want to eat the beef buns you made. Go and make them for me."

Over the years, Rang Guo has been following Wen Cheng. Wen Cheng knows that it is just to serve him but actually to monitor him.

At this critical moment, why did the queen want to transfer Rang Guo and let her go alone? Wasn't she afraid that she would escape and seek refuge with her son who was already the king? The queen was a thoughtful person and was never a careless and stupid person. Unless...

She was creating an opportunity for her to escape to her children!

Wen Cheng shuddered, and watched with wide eyes as the Yaksha woman who had been spying on him for fifteen years walked away from him and went out, her expression confused.

"Queen..." She frowned, the struggle between her conscience and her conscience left her speechless for a moment.

Wen Jiao didn't look at her, but waved her hand to signal her to leave, then she propped her temples with her hands and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep: "I'm about to close my eyes and rest, why don't you leave?"

At this point, the implication was so clear that it was almost explicit. Wen Cheng's fingers sank into her palms, and the pain made her confused mind clear. To be exact, in the past fifteen years, she had never been so clear-headed as she was at this moment.

"Why should I leave?" Wen Cheng said, "I have contributed to the development of Manzagang. Now the army is approaching, and the peace of Manzagang is about to be shattered. I can't even defend the city with the soldiers, but you want me to leave. Do you look down on me like this?"
