It was pouring rain.

Because of this, the common people hid at home, Xia Ningle looked up at the sky, the cloud was very thin, but the sun could still be seen, it should be a shower, and it would stop after a while.

"Protect some pollen."

The city gate opened, and Qin Youming led the crowd to kneel down. He handed the imperial decree to Si Qinglian with both hands: "Welcome, holy driver."

Both Xia Ningle and Si Qinglian were stunned for a moment.

Just now, I vaguely heard the quarrel under the city, and saw Qin Youming holding the imperial decree, Si Qinglian naturally took the arrow and shot at the left lieutenant, but never expected that the imperial decree was prepared for her.

Si Qinglian touched the familiar handwriting on the imperial decree as if it were a treasure. It was written by his father himself, not a eunuch's ghostwriting. What kind of mood is it.

"All the soldiers follow me to take down the rebellious ministers and thieves."

"Yes!"

Coincidentally, when Si Qinglian left the imperial city, there was a heavy rain, wishing to wash away all the filth in the world. When he arrived at the gate of the city, there was another shower of rain, but it stopped after Si Qinglian entered the city.

The rain watered the ground, and the soil became much softer. At some point in the mass burial ground, a corpse puppet crawled out of the soil, as if they were specially waiting for this moment. They grabbed the corpse and gnawed it. Some palace servants dragged the corpse over, and saw a The rotting face raised its head and screamed in terror.

The corpse puppet suddenly burst into vitality and rushed forward.

The people went out one after another, waving when they saw Xia Ningle, but they saw too many soldiers and they all looked fierce, so they didn't dare to speak up, they just watched the troops heading towards the palace from afar.

Tens of thousands of imperial guards guard the gate.

Qin Youliang issued an imperial decree, explaining the cause and effect and the commander, but the commander shook his head and said, "We are royal soldiers, no matter who is right or wrong, our duty is to protect the Holy Majesty, if you are caught by me with a few words If you shake your mind, the Imperial Guard will cease to exist in the future."

"His Highness Chang Le is the future monarch. It is not at fault for you to protect His Highness. On the contrary, He Shikun hijacked the Holy One and installed a fake prince. What is the reason for blocking the gate instead of going to rescue him?" Qin You was obviously angry, "Do you know how many people died outside the imperial city, and how many people eat monsters?"

"What monster?"

"The infected people mutated into corpse puppets, tearing and biting the living everywhere. Northern Xinjiang was the hardest-hit area, yet He Shikun ordered General Liang to seal off the West and North Gorge Passes. This will destroy the entire Northern Xinjiang!"

The imperial guards looked at each other, a little skeptical.

Liang Xie said: "I can prove that not to mention the deaths of many people in northern Xinjiang, many of my brothers have also died."

While speaking, there was a heart-piercing cry from the palace servants behind the imperial guards. They turned their heads and saw that the palace servants were pressed to the ground by a monster that looked like a human. red.

Liang Xie said: "It's this ghost thing, everyone should be careful, don't be bitten, their heads must be chopped off to kill them completely."

The commander was disdainful, and took an arrow to shoot, and dealt with the damn thing cleanly. He was about to say something when his face suddenly became serious. good parts.

"Roar!" A beast hissed.

There were more responses not far away, and the screams made people flustered. After a while, more corpse puppets rushed out from the corner, and the command made cold sweat and shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

The imperial guards formed a wall, standing in the front, and fired a volley of arrows. Some corpse puppets fell to the ground, while others turned into hedgehogs and kept alive. Seeing that the corpse puppets were approaching, Song Yuhang shouted: "Get out of the way!"

He throws the black ball.

The deafening sound blew a gust of violent wind, blowing the corpse puppets away, stumps and broken arms were all over the ground, a burst of fragrance lingered for a long time, many corpse puppets fell straight, some tiny bugs crawled out, and then shrank into shriveled The dried insects turned into real corpses.

"Where is He Shikun now?"

The commander said in a daze, "In front of the hall, stay with the Holy Majesty."

Si Qinglian distributed some of the black flower balls to the commander, and asked him to take someone to clean up the remaining puppets in the palace, while she went to the hall without stopping. She saw the open door and stepped in without hesitation.

He Shikun was sitting on the throne, holding the crown prince in one hand, and holding a knife in the other hand on the emperor's neck. The emperor knelt on the ground, his eyes were reddish, obviously he had cried.

"Princess, save the orphan!"

"Shut up!" He Shikun's knife was an inch closer, and the emperor was silent for a moment. He Shikun looked at Xia Ningle with complicated eyes, and the last trace of emotion disappeared, "Let's find out today!"

"What do you want?" Si Qinglian asked.

"Haven't you been looking for Concubine Liu, so I will help you, but only you can see her alone, otherwise, I can't guarantee your brother's life!"

Subconsciously, Xia Ningle grabbed Si Qinglian's wrist, shook her head at her, and said, "Your Highness, he must be uneasy and kind, so he can't go."

"I know." Si Qinglian patted the back of her hand lightly, "You play by ear and find a way to save Brother Huang. He is just a bit lazy and not a big evil person."

"Okay, then be careful."

Xia Ningle knew that he could not stop her, so he could only let her go. He Shikun pointed to the side door, and Si Qinglian walked in with heavy steps.

The gate opened and closed.

Si Qinglian felt the darkness and took two steps inside.

The mottled afterglow shone on a person. The figure was wearing a long red dress, with disheveled hair, and Si Qinglian's eyes were red. It was the clothes her mother and concubine often wore, and was a gift from her father.

Now the clothes are dirty and messy, without the glory of the past.

"Mother concubine!"

The figure turned around.

Her face was like dried orange peel, comparable to a thousand-year-old corpse. Her walking steps were slightly shaky, and she approached Si Qinglian little by little. Seeing you again in more than six years, scattered all the happiness in Si Qinglian's heart.

She sighed softly, spilling the pollen in her hand.

Concubine Liu's body fell to the ground accompanied by the scent of flowers. Immediately afterwards, many men in black jumped down from the beam of the house. The knives in their hands were reflected by bursts of cold light in the afterglow, and surrounded Si Qinglian.

At the same time, Xia Ningle and others were also surrounded by men in black, and these men in black were naturally He Shikun's personal soldiers.

He Shikun was still sitting on the dragon chair, and tapped the emperor's shoulder with the back of his knife: "If you dare to do something, be careful and kill him."

His attitude was contemptuous.

The group of people below could only defend passively, Liang Xie and Qin Youming protected Xia Ningle in the middle, Xia Ningle saw the soldiers outside dying one after another, but his heart was extremely calm.

He Shikun laughed loudly: "Kill, kill me!"

He Shikun looked crazy, completely indulged in the joy of killing, until the emperor was hit by an arrow in the chest, his laughter stopped abruptly.

The arrow was shot by Xia Ningle, and she said coldly, "Please trouble the two adults to take down He Shikun, and his party members will naturally be destroyed without attack."

"it is good!"

Liang Xie and Qin Youming teamed up to entangle He Shikun. Xia Ningle turned around and went to the side room. She pushed the door several times but didn't push it. There was the sound of fighting inside, and she could only faintly see a black shadow flashing through the crack of the door.

Xia Ningle took out the black flower ball and lit the fire letter, put the ball at the door and shouted: "Stay away from the door!" After speaking, she also quickly retreated.

"Touch!" The door was blown into pieces.

The soldiers followed Xia Ningle and rushed in.

Some people in black still stick to the door without knowing why, but now they can only lie on the cold ground with the broken door. Si Qinglian floated from the air to Xia Ningle's side. She was intact, but her face was like It was covered with a thin layer of ice, obviously not in a good mood.

Following Si Qinglian's line of sight, when Xia Ningle saw the woman in red lying on the ground, she understood why Si Qinglian had such a sullen face, and all her expectations were in vain.

Seeing that the general situation was over, He Shikun put down the prince in his arms, and took a last look. Although this child was not of royal blood, he was the last blood of the He family.

The two worked together to support He Shikun who gave up resistance.

His personal soldiers fought to the end, and the entire palace was covered with corpses, the number of which was innumerable. Concubine Liu's body was carried to the Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor was still breathing, and the arrow Xia Ningle shot avoided the vital point. In fact, she was quite afraid that if she shot it wrong, she would be tantamount to killing someone.

He Shikun said with a smile: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say. Although this child has the blood of my He family, he is also the son of the Holy Majesty. Please save his life."

"This child is not a dragon son, it was born by the empress with someone else." Qin Youming handed a booklet to Si Qinglian, "This is the record of the empress and the emperor sleeping together, the time of pregnancy does not match, and when the empress gave birth One month later than the due date."

He Shikun roared angrily: "He is talking nonsense, don't want to tarnish my sister's reputation." Liang Xie held him tightly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I will naturally ask Brother Huang for proof. As for you... you'd better enjoy your last time!" Si Qinglian waved his hand, and he was taken to the dungeon.

After this battle, the dynasty suffered heavy losses.

In particular, the strength of the troops has also been greatly reduced, and it will take several months for the corpses to be slowly cleaned up. As for He Shikun, he was executed on the third day after the battle, and some of his party members also suffered, most of them were courtiers. There were a lot of people, and if they were executed all at once, the court would be in an embarrassing situation without ministers, so Si Qinglian could only let them go and wait for the candidates to be selected in the imperial examination in the future before making a decision.

Yuer and Mengmeng were taken into the palace, the two children were still taken care of by the nanny, Mengmeng was the older, she liked sister Yuer very much, and often helped the nanny to look after her.

Later, Emperor Zen was located in Siqinglian.

Si Qinglian was the first female emperor in history. The courtiers who had not been dealt with before belonged to the old school. They knew their future fate very well. Some wise people chose to resign and return to their hometowns, while some found new backers.

This person is the defender of the southern border, Yan Cheng.

He is old, with white hair and white beard, but he looks pretty good. He has no wife or children at home, so he is considered a widowed old man, so he stays in the army all year round and does not return to the imperial city for several years.

But after Si Qinglian succeeded to the throne, he hurried back and opposed the woman's succession without asking why. The party members who wanted to survive naturally stood by Yan Cheng's side, but how could Si Qinglian take such an old guy to heart.

"Gu will marry Xia Ningle in half a month."

Si Qinglian not only ignored Yan Cheng, but also publicly announced that she was going to marry Xia Ningle, making Yan Cheng's beard stand up in anger.

"You want to cut off the blood of the royal family!"

Si Qinglian doesn't think so, she probably won't be able to have a child, but the royal bloodline will be continued by her brother, otherwise, when Mengmeng grows up and has a child, she can adopt one.

"No, there is no reason for a woman to marry a woman. This is against the law of heaven. If you tell it, it will make people in other countries laugh!"
