Imposter Queen

Through the winding palace corridor, Yao Qihua followed Murong Xilin to the forbidden area of ​​the palace - Mystery Forest.

Mystery Forest has been a royal forbidden area since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is heavily guarded and only the kings of the past dynasties are allowed to enter. If others want to enter, they must obtain the permission of the current king. But since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including Xuanyuan Hao, there are It has been nine generations of kings, and it is rare to see any princes and ministers allowed to enter, even the emperor, rarely set foot in this place.There are rumors in the palace that the Mystery Forest is not clean, and there are often many ghosts and ghosts active here. The reason why successive emperors have to come in once a year is because they want to worship and appease these ghosts and ghosts.

"Who are you? Idlers are not allowed to enter!" As soon as Murong Xilin and Yao Qihua arrived at the Mystery Forest, they were stopped by the Forbidden Forest Army guarding the entrance of the Forbidden Forest. Murong Xilin found a piece of wood from his sleeve. A small pine and bamboo tree is simply embossed on the wooden sign. Although it is not gorgeous, it is also ingenious.

As soon as those soldiers saw the badge, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects, and Murong Xilin and Yao Qihua walked in with great swagger.The Mystery Forest in midsummer is overgrown with shrubs and lush.Amidst the greenery, a winding marble slab path is laid out, which does not reveal the luster of stone under the bright sunlight, and there are dead leaves and branches on the road that no one cleans, which shows that there are few people here.

"Empress, you are..." Yao Qihua is actually someone who has been yearning for Mystery Forest for a long time. Since he was a child, he has been very interested in things such as five-element formations, demons and ghosts. He has read countless books for this, and even ran to The cold wind blowing in the cemetery all night, although nothing has been confirmed, but also satisfied.Now, he actually has the opportunity to come to the legendary Mystery Forest, where there is a lot of yin, how can he be reconciled if he can't get something? !

The rare radiance in Yao Qihua's calm eyes made Murong Xilin curious, but looking around at the wild green, he couldn't understand, "This is the secret weapon left by the emperor to this palace."

"Secret weapon?" A small wooden token turned out to be a pass for the entrance of the Mystery Forest. Yao Qihua was shocked just now. Now there is a "secret weapon". It seems that the empress's behavior is not without reason. I went out of the palace, but I didn't forget to arrange everything properly before going out.

"Well, the secret weapon."

"How did the empress know that there will be a secret weapon?" Yao Qihua didn't ask this question because he wanted to know the answer, but could not help but blurt out seeing the mystery on their empress's face.

"Guess."

"...Guess?"

"That's right, even the use of the token just now was a matter of luck for me, I didn't expect it to be a pass for Mystery Forest, hehe~~"

"..." Yao Qihua was speechless. Looking at the brisk steps of the figure in front of him, he was full of doubts, "Then what are we doing here?" Could it be that the empress is also interested in ghosts and ghosts just like him? !

"Let's come in and find the secret weapon that the emperor left for this palace!" Murong Xilin, who was walking in front, answered affirmatively, and then stretched his ears to listen. He was sure that since Xuanyuan Hao gave himself all the tokens of Mystery Forest, then this There should be secrets hidden inside, and that secret is power. In the mysterious forest, Xuanyuan Hao secretly cultivated power for him!

"Look for it?!... Let's find it."

"Well, two people, hurry up." Murong Xilin didn't say anything, in fact, he was afraid that there would be ghosts in the mysterious forest as rumored, so he asked Yao Qihua to take courage, he was afraid of all ghosts!

The two of them searched together along the stone path, seeing with their eyes and listening with their hearts. Before they knew it, they walked farther and farther into the depths of the mysterious forest. The famous bird chirps, the sound of crying blood, and the crying is unbearable, which makes people's hair stand on end.Murong Xilin walked more slowly, walking side by side with Yao Qihua.

Suddenly, echoes of soldiers' drills came from the depths of the Mystery Forest, and Murong Xilin instantly beamed, "I found it, I found it!"He quickly ran towards the source of the sound, he was really an acquaintance——

"Little brother!--"

"Empress Empress?!——"

"Little brother, you really look a bit like a general when you put on the general's shirt~~hehe~~"

"..." Ye Xiantong murmured dissatisfied to Murong Xilin who was circling around him as soon as he saw him, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Empress Empress, I am now a general."

"Haha, little brother is really a general, so amazing!"

"Empress Empress, all the brothers are watching." Although it is very honorable to be praised by such a stunning 'woman', he is still just a shy boy.And I was able to get the respect of the emperor, all because of the empress in front of me, if there is no empress, how could he, a little monk, have the opportunity to meet the emperor, how could he enter the palace, and finally he was secretly trained to become a member of the forbidden army command.

"Empress Empress—" Yao Qihua tugged Murong Xilin's sleeve to remind him, they are not here to reminisce, but to find help.

"Oh!—" Murong Xilin, who finally remembered something important, patted his forehead heavily, "Little brother, I'm here to ask you for help today, tell the brothers to get ready."

"I obey, empress." Finally, there is an opportunity for actual combat, and Ye Xian is uncontrollably excited. Thinking that they practiced day and night in the deep mountains and old forests, they can finally test the results. Can you not be excited? ! "Brothers, are you ready?!"

"Get ready!!!—" All the soldiers are ready to go, making the best preparations for the upcoming battle.

"As expected of a little brother, so fast!"

"Go back to empress, the emperor taught us that as a general who defends our home and country, we must always be prepared so that we can face battle at any time!"

~~~~~~~~~~

When the group returned to the main battlefield in a mighty manner, they heard the enemy's shouts of war outside the moat. Some officials, big and small, who lived in Luoyang City also gathered on the tower to discuss how to fight. Murong Xilin waved to Ye Xiantong, motioning him to check the battlefield layout first, and then he took Yao Qihua up the tower.

"The Empress?!" The first person to discover Murong Xilin's arrival was Xiao Ling, Minister of the Ministry of War. He was one of the few people in the court who knew that the Empress was missing, so the sudden appearance of the Empress surprised him even more. What amazed him was also the beauty of the empress. It has been more than two years, she has lost a little childishness, and has become a little more mature and calm. At that time, I mistakenly thought that the empress would be so sad when she died in the fire.

"The empress is auspicious, the empress is a thousand years old." The officials who were discussing fiercely were also surprised when they saw Murong Xilin. Why did the empress appear here? Shouldn't a weak woman stay in the palace obediently and not come out? Are you messing around?

"Get up."

"Empress, why are you here? It's dangerous here. You'd better go back to the palace and wait for our good news." Xiao Lingzhuang bravely stepped forward to persuade him. He has not forgotten that the empress almost died due to his negligence back then. Just thinking about the punishment made me sweat for myself at the time. I don't even know how I got through it. Now he must not repeat the same mistakes again. It is very important to ensure the safety of the empress!

"Have you discussed any countermeasures? I also want to hear about it." Ignoring Xiao Ling, Murong Xilin walked to the formation simulation platform and pondered it carefully, hoping that Xuanyuan Hao didn't teach him how to march in vain.

"Uh..." The ministers were embarrassed. Everyone knows that the harem cannot be involved in politics, even the most favored empress is no exception, so...

"It's okay, since you don't want to discuss it, I can just give orders directly."

"Empress, this is about the safety and survival of the country, it's not a child's play!"

"Oh? Uncle Liuhuang thinks that this palace is making fun of Dazhou's country?! Then Uncle Liuhuang has any good ways to repel the enemy?" Murong Xilin asked with his head tilted, staring into his big eyes. Looking at her, she looked like a simple little girl who didn't know much about the world, but the undisguised sharpness in the depths of her clear eyes showed the master's sullenness and shrewdness.

"Chen...Chen...Chen didn't mean that, it's just that the empress is a girl, it's really not suitable..."

Anyone can say high-sounding words, but he, Murong Xilin, doesn't want to listen to it, wasting his time on hypocrisy, he might as well seize the time to fight and retreat the enemy. "Xiao Shangshu, how many arrows are there in the archery stand on our city gate building!"

"Hui Niangniang, there are five arrow forts, 50 bows, and [-] arrows."

Xiao Ling was reporting the number, Murong Xilin was listening to it and was thinking, at this moment——

"Report——" Xiao Ling had just finished speaking when a soldier covered in dust ran in in a panic, his footsteps were unsteady, and he fell to the ground with a "plop——".
