The system pits me and destroys the heroine

The distribution of grain and grass is progressing smoothly, but the dozens of large vehicles are not so lucky to return to the border city. The only way now is to clean up the corpses outside the border city and transport them by water.

Now there are 14 soldiers in the border town, it is not difficult to clean up, but it is difficult to be unscathed, everyone has their own family, and everyone treats their brothers as relatives, so Si Qinglian must be cautious in cleaning up, and casualties must be minimized.

At about dusk, Xia Ningle came back with Mengmeng. The child went straight to the nanny when he got home. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very good. After playing for a long time, the child was also tired, so the nanny took her Resign to Si Qinglian.

Si Qinglian let them go, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xia Ningle, and said, "I went to play for half a day, did you notice anything?"

After drinking tea, Xia Ningle said: "This man behaved strangely, he had never beaten or scolded a child, and he could even use the word "Wei Nuo" to describe it. It didn't sound like a mother, but more like a servant. "

"But these are just guesses. If the guess is wrong or she refuses to admit it, we have nothing to do with her."

"As you said, I don't know about it." Si Qinglian sighed, looking tired, "There's no rush for this, I'll wait for Bengong to investigate tonight before making any plans."

"Well, if I don't hold back, can I wait outside for His Highness?" Xia Ningle said with burning eyes.

Si Qinglian smiled, and touched the top of her head relying on her just right height: "Ning'er is the lucky general of the palace, not a hind leg."

Xia Ningle is almost thirty at heart, and now being patted on the head by a girl younger than him feels weird but he doesn't want to refuse, it's really contradictory.

Wait until night falls.

Xia Ningle hid in a nearby flowerbed, Si Qinglian was very good at lightness, and flew up to the roof like a swallow. At this moment, the house was still lit with candles, reflecting the woman's figure.

Si Qinglian gently removed a piece of rubble.

Mengmeng was already sleeping soundly on the bed, but the woman was pacing back and forth, looking very irritable, her brows were tightly wrinkled, her eyes fell on Mengmeng from time to time, and then she let out a long sigh.

As if she was too restless, the woman came to the altar and lit three incense sticks to pay her respects. There were only censers and a plaque on the altar. Because Si Qinglian was on the roof, she couldn't see what was written on the plaque.

After the woman paid her respects, she said: "Madam, I never thought that His Highness would come here. She is very brave and looks more and more like you, but I..." Halfway through the sentence, she couldn't continue.

But these half-sentences were enough for Si Qinglian to lose her mind, she turned over and fell down, and gently knocked on the door: "It's Bengong."

The woman opened the door with a forced smile.

"I won't go in." Si Qinglian didn't want to wake up the little girl inside, "I just want to ask you a word, before my concubine lets you out of the palace...do I have anything to say to you or something I want?" Transferred to the Palace?"

The woman remained silent.

Si Qinglian said: "I know very well that nanny is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If you have any unavoidable difficulties, I can understand. Please tell me the truth."

Girls really value friendship, and Si Qinglian was also watched by her as she grew up, so she couldn't bear it, she looked back at Mengmeng, and then sighed softly: "There is no reason, this is just my selfishness, me and Mengmeng After all these years of getting along, I have already become the closest family member, so I am reluctant to tell His Highness that Mengmeng is your biological sister."

"Is that so!" Si Qinglian saw that Mengmeng was sleeping soundly, and the child looked extremely healthy, "Why did Imperial Physician Xia take her away back then?"

"I don't know what happened back then..."

The woman said a lot. Back then, she was indeed at the age to leave the palace. Concubine Liu was kind enough to allow her to go home one month earlier. She thought that after returning home with a bunch of rewards, she would be able to live happily ever after with her husband and son. A good life, who knew that as soon as she entered the house, she saw her husband having an affair with a strange woman, and she was so angry that she argued with her husband, but she was severely beaten.

The woman is Si Qinglian's nanny. No one dared to make things difficult for her in the palace. Instead, she was respectful. How could she be treated like this by her husband when she returned home? He took the money to marry a concubine, and her son Instead of kissing her, she helped her husband talk.

Frustrated, Imperial Physician Xia found her with the baby girl in his arms. After some understanding, he realized that the baby belonged to Concubine Liu. Imperial Physician Xia didn't explain the specifics, only said that Concubine Liu gave birth to a serious illness. sick, fearing that the child would be poisoned by the queen, he was taken out of the palace.

Imperial Physician Xia also gave her a book and a letter, asking her to go to Northern Xinjiang to seek refuge with Jiang Fei. If something happened to him, the book would have to be sent to Xia Ningle. If the one who gave it to her later did not have the ability, then there was no need to send the letter.

When Doctor Xia’s family was beheaded, the woman was too frightened to send the book, for fear that she would be beheaded too, so this was the first time she missed an appointment. Whether the concubine is alive or not will be enshrined every year, and it is also regarded as a blessing.

"That's it." The woman handed over the book and the letter, "Physician Xia dictated that Concubine Liu told His Highness not to look for her."

Don't look for her, let her live a good life, but looking for Concubine Liu is Si Qinglian's motivation to live strong all along, how could she give up.

Si Qinglian didn't take it immediately, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "It seems that the father has wrongly blamed the doctor Xia." She took the object, took another look at Mengmeng, told the woman to take care of it, and left.

Xia Ningle, who had been staying not far away, came over to ask about the situation. Si Qinglian told her everything about the conversation just now, and handed her the book, saying: "This book was given to Doctor Xia by the concubine mother. .”

The book left by Concubine Liu is a medical book, which contains only a description of one kind of medicinal material, Hell Flower!

As the name suggests, Hell Flower grows in dark, humid and festering places. Its specific function is unknown, but it is said that the Tianlan people use it to lose weight, grind the petals into powder and take it, and within three days they can become a fair lady. If you swallow the flower core in time, you will become a monster like a living dead.

"Could it be that the corpse puppet is related to the hell flower?"

"Maybe." Si Qinglian said.

She glanced at the letter in her hand absentmindedly, and slowly opened it. It was filled with familiar handwriting. The letter said that her younger sister was named Simeng, and she had a triangular birthmark on her lower back.

At that time, when she was about to give birth, the queen designed and entered the pharmacy by mistake. This pharmacy was specially established by the emperor for He Shikun, saying that it was developing a medicine for strengthening the body. At that time, she didn't know what the medicine was. Knowing that He Shikun found the Hell Flower somehow and brought it back.

Because He Shikun didn't know the characteristics of hell flowers, he kept the parasites on pigs for observation. After the worms grew up, they took out the parasites and ground them into powder and fed them to mice for experiments. However, she was accidentally bitten and gave birth prematurely.

Concubine Liu knew that the queen would not let her and the child go easily, so she begged the imperial doctor Xia to take the child away. She knew the consequences of doing so, so she asked Si Qinglian to take good care of Xia Ningle. If you are weak, then don't bother her.

"He Shikun!" Si Qinglian squeezed the letter tightly, "Queen...very good, you all deserve to die!"

Si Qinglian's hands turned white from pinching, Xiao Leng's brows were full of unresolved sadness, Xia Ningle gently held her hand to express comfort.

"Sooner or later, this kind of villain will reap his own consequences. There is no trust between He Shikun and the queen. It is only a matter of time before the two kill each other. Next, what will His Highness decide to do?"

"Go to the Tianlan tribe to find hell flowers, and leave the transportation of food to Qiu'er." Si Qinglian pulled him back, "You have to be with me."

"Of course, but where are the Tianlan people?"

"My concubine's mother is a member of the Tianlan tribe. I remember that seven or eight years ago, my concubine said that the Tianlan tribe is in the northern border. There is a lot of miasma and the terrain is steep. The tribe doesn't like to go out, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter."

"So Concubine Liu probably knew that the disaster was caused by hell flowers back then, maybe..." Maybe she was still alive, but Xia Ningle didn't dare to talk too much, lest Si Qinglian would be disappointed in the end.

Perhaps to solve the problem that has been bothering her, Si Qinglian looks radiant at this moment: "Regardless of life or death, I just want to see my mother and concubine. Life is the best thing. If I die... then I will also The concubine should be given a decent funeral."

It's best for Si Qinglian to figure it out by herself, so that Xia Ningle won't have to find a way to enlighten others when the time comes, God knows this is what she's worst at.

Afterwards, Si Qinglian made the contents of the book public, handed over the matter of food transportation to Qiu'er, and ordered Jiang Fei to send [-] troops to Jiangcheng to prepare for the war!

If a war is really to be fought, then the matter of the corpse puppets must be resolved, otherwise once the army fights, it will be surrounded by corpse puppets, and the situation will be that the more they fight, the more enemies there will be.

The next day, Qiu'er and Jiang Fei led an army of [-] to transport food out of the city, and everyone thought of a simple way to deal with the corpse puppets. The cavalry led the corpse puppets away first, and shot them slowly on the way.

The corpse puppets walked slowly, naturally they were played around by the cavalry. Gradually, the corpse puppets near the border town followed and ran up the mountain. At this time, the team came out of the city gate in a mighty way. As for the remaining [-] troops in the border town, Then give it to the deputy general to lead and guard the border.

……

He Shikun couldn't sleep for several nights, paralyzed on the bed motionless, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep, until the soldiers came to report to the general, he said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"General, something serious happened in the imperial city." The soldier gasped and said, "The Holy Majesty has passed away, and the Empress has decided to hold a funeral for the Holy Majesty in five days' time."

"What!" He Shikun almost couldn't hold back his face, "The sage died? How could it be?" After thinking for a while, he knew that the queen wanted to take this opportunity to support the prince and force him to hand over the jade seal.

"What is Lieutenant General Left doing?"

"The left deputy general is closely watched by the empress, and he is always tied up in his work recently, but the general is relieved, no one can enter the palace for the time being."

"No, I'm still not at ease." He Shikun stood up, "Since the queen has announced the news that the Holy Majesty has passed away, she will definitely take action to get rid of this disaster. You go and prepare the horse, and I will go back immediately."
