System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

When Xuzhou rushed back to the general's mansion, he saw a steady stream of rewards being carried into the general's mansion.

The leader was Eunuch Desheng, who was talking to his wife, Yingtian. No one knew what they were talking about.

As he was speaking, De Sheng turned around and happened to meet his eyes: "Look, isn't this the general who guards the country and has returned?"

Yingtian turned around after hearing that.

Xuzhou Chuang looked at his first wife whom he had not seen for two years, and could no longer suppress the longing in his heart. He rushed over and hugged her.

"Madam, I'm back."

The woman in his arms was stiff all over and her breathing had obviously stopped.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled, raised his hands and gently patted his back: "General, Eunuch Desheng is still here."

Xuzhou Chuang slowly loosened his hand.

He had a feeling that his wife seemed much more distant from him as they had not seen each other for two years.

De Sheng chuckled and joked: "Now that the general has just returned home, he naturally has a lot to say to Madam Xu. Now that the rewards have been delivered and the imperial edict has been announced, this old servant will take his leave first."

Yingtian returned to her usual dignified self and wanted to invite Desheng into her house for a cup of tea before leaving.

Eunuch Desheng declined politely: "I have to go back to the palace to report, so I won't bother you any more."

Xuzhou Chuang gestured to see him off.

"General and his wife, please don't see me off. Please stay."

The couple stood at the door, watching the huge team leave.

Xuzhou Chuang looked at his wife and felt that she had become a different person.

She is not as hysterical as when she just lost Jiaojiao, nor as gentle and dignified as before. There is always endless things to talk about when I am with him.

Perhaps sensing Xuzhou Chuang's gaze, Yingtian turned around and smiled at him faintly: "General, you have worked hard, go back to your residence and have a rest first."

Xuzhou rushed into the mansion and looked around. The mansion was still the same as before.

"Where's He'er? Why can't I see him?"

Having not seen his eldest son for two years, he still remembered the look of disbelief in his eldest son's eyes when he came out of the Qinzheng Hall and voluntarily laid down his weapon.

He asked him loudly, "Have you forgotten how Jiaojiao died? Why did you do this? Why?"

Xuzhou Chuang couldn't answer him directly and could only watch his son being dragged away.

At that time, Xuzhou He's eyes were filled with anger and hatred, and this look stayed with him for two whole years.

Now he couldn't wait to explain it to his son.

"Madam, where is He'er? I have good news to tell you and He'er. Please take me to find him."

Speaking of Xuzhou He, Yingtian was like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns, protecting herself and her son tightly.

"Do you really still remember He'er? What do you want to say to He'er?"

Xuzhou Chuang looked at Yingtian's defensive posture and suddenly became alert: "But what happened in the mansion?"

He looked at the silent Ying Tian, ​​and the bad premonition in his heart rapidly intensified.

He grabbed Yingtian's arm and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

He couldn't wait for Yingtian to speak, so he went straight to his son's room. The moment he opened the door, Xuzhou Chuang felt like the sky was falling.

His proud eldest son was lying on the bed like a puppet. The sound of the door opening did not disturb his sleep. If it were not for the slight breathing sound, he would have thought...

He walked to the bedside with weak legs, looked at his motionless son carefully, and asked in a trembling voice: "How could this happen?"

Yingtian sat beside her son's bed, tucking the corner of the quilt gently, and piercing him with cold eyes.

"How could this happen? Why do you think this happened?"

"Didn't you choose to disband the army on the spot for her son?"

"Have you ever really cared about your own son?"

Ever since they received the news that Jiaojiao had gotten into trouble, everyone in the Xu family wanted to kill the dog emperor to avenge their hatred.

Especially Ying Tian, ​​she wished she could rush into the palace to skin him alive and eat his flesh and blood. Whenever she hysterically swore to skin the beast Yinshan Du with her own hands, Xuzhou He would always be there to comfort her gently and promise solemnly that he would kill Yinshan Du with his own hands and bring back his head to comfort her younger sister's spirit in heaven.

The year he returned to Beijing, people in Kyoto either avoided his family or took advantage of their misfortunes. Only a few families were willing to interact with him, but they could not show it on the surface.

The entire Xu family was walking on thin ice.

Her health had been poor during this year, and only her son was by her side to comfort her.

Finally the day of action arrived. Ying Tian was supported by a surge of excitement. She put on armor for the father and son with her own hands. Her son held her hands and told her with a firm look in his eyes that he would bring back Yinshandu's head and give it to her.

But what she waited for was the Imperial Guards surrounding the General's Mansion.

Her son was escorted back in a panic, and he looked at her in pain and said: "Father met the Queen Mother alone and surrendered." All soldiers were disbanded on the spot, and all Xu family members were driven back to Xuzhou. Mother, father betrayed us, he betrayed us!

After saying this, a mouthful of blood spurted out and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.

Yingtian hugged her son tightly and smiled sadly.

She didn't expect that her husband would choose to save someone else's son and abandon their family at the last moment.

This other person is the culprit who wanted their daughter's life.

Since then, her son never woke up again, and she had to bear everything alone.

Those memories came back to Ying Tian, ​​filling her with resentment.

"When you disbanded the army for that woman and her son, did you ever think about your son outside the palace?"

"He'er has looked up to you as a role model since he was young, but his father abandoned him and the entire family at a critical moment. How do you think he will feel?"

Xuzhou Chuang grabbed his wife's hand in panic: "No, no, I did it for Jiaojiao and for this family..."

Ying Tian pulled her hand back in disgust and interrupted him forcefully: "Don't mention my Jiaojiao. What do you mean by for this family? You are just doing it for that woman."

"Didn't you marry me for her?"

Xuzhou Chuang looked at his wife who had once been so loving to him, but now there was nothing but disgust and indifference in her eyes without any attachment.

"He'er vomited blood and fell down. No one in the mansion could treat her. There were imperial guards outside the door, but they were not willing to let even one doctor in. He'er was harmed by you! First you harmed my daughter, and then you harmed my son. You two are in cahoots with each other and it really makes me sick."

"No, ma'am, it was because the Queen Mother said that we could see Jiaojiao again that I surrendered."

Xuzhou Chuang knelt down in front of his wife and told her everything that had happened in the Qinzheng Hall that day, in every detail.

Ying Tian kicked him to the ground: "Shut up, do you think I'm as cheap as you?"

"This kind of nonsense can only fool people like you. Do you think I will believe it?"

Xuzhou Chuang immediately took out Pu Zhen's letter from his arms and handed it to Ying Tian on his knees: "This is written by Pu Zhen himself. Madam, you will know that I am not lying after reading it."

"Madam, I really saw Jiaojiao today. Jiaojiao said she would be back home in a few days. She also brought us gifts and asked us to wait for her at home."

Yingtian unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

Ever since these unexpected events happened, she didn't want to trust anyone anymore. But when she looked at Pu Zhen's letter and compared it with what happened to Jiaojiao when she was a child, a secret expectation arose in her heart.

She wanted to see Jiaojiao. The bitter life had completely enveloped her. If Jiaojiao could really show her power, at least she could have a little sweetness in her future life.

Xuzhou Chuang saw that his wife was frowning and thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb her.

He looked at his son who seemed to be asleep, feeling guilty and blaming himself. He was really not a good father. Not only did he fail to avenge his daughter, but he also caused his son to lie in bed like a living dead.

Looking at his wife, she had been supporting the family under the name of a rebel for the past two years. It was really hard. Her face was thin and she looked haggard and tired. Her long hair, which was originally black and smooth, was now full of white hair.

He wasn't a good husband either.

"Madam, I will find a way to cure my son, even if it means burning myself in flames."

Xuzhou Chuang held his son's hand. This was his only chance to repair this family.
