The third prince gave him a look that signaled him to take action. The grand master sighed. He had already conspired to rebel, so he was still afraid of regicide? Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, but the third prince is still too young.
He pulled out the sword of the soldier beside him and dragged it to the throne. The sound of the sword tip scratching on the ground made the ministers who were pretending to be dazed feel tense, but they did not dare to move unless the emperor said anything.
"Your Majesty, you forced me to do this."
He originally just wanted to resign and return to his hometown to be an idler, but the emperor insisted on forcing him to die, so he had no choice but to strike first. He stabbed Qingqiu, who was lowered in the lightning flash, and threw it towards him. A chopstick deflected the sword. .
"Take it!"
After giving the order, the sound of killing outside was loud. On the other hand, the emperor's confidants in the palace actually stood up and fought with the soldiers with weapons in hand. What else is there to understand? The emperor had known their plan for a long time and was waiting for them to jump. Going in.
The grand master's eyes were fierce, he steadied his body and stabbed the emperor again. It would not be a loss if the lord of the world was buried with him.
Qingqiu stood in front of the emperor and drew his sword. A piece of software sank into Father Shen's right chest. The grand master fell to the ground and was unable to move. His eyes widened. He never thought he would die in this place he had always seen. In the hands of a poor concubine.
On the other side, Marquis Wuan also led the military attaches to strangle all the rebels. The third prince was captured on the ground. The emperor was very satisfied with this scene. Marquis Wuan's niece was indeed as good as he said. It was said that she had only practiced martial arts for a few months. It seemed that In the future, he will definitely add another general to the court!
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the prince who was still pretending to be unconscious. Feeling the piercing gaze, the prince just wanted to faint.
"The treasonous officials will all execute the three clans. As for you..." The emperor looked at his son who was being held on the ground.
The third prince's expression declined. He had lost. He recognized that his father would never let him go. He had been pushed forward by others all his life. Let him choose this time. He tried his best to earn He opened it and hit the soldier's knife next to him that was still dripping blood.
"Your Majesty, spare your life." The soldier's face turned pale with fright. Even if he was treason, he was still a prince. What if the emperor cared about his family ties?
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "No problem, the third prince will be buried as King Xian."
Suddenly, "There is an urgent report from the border. The Southern Kingdom attacked the border city on the night before half a month ago and has captured two cities in succession."
The emperor was furious and "appointed Marquis Wu'an as the General of the Conquest of the West to take charge of the Sixth Army, and Shen Qingqiu as the deputy general. Three days later, he went to the border to regain the lost territory."
Qingqiu said before the other ministers: "I accept the order."
Her eyes were full of ambition, but the emperor didn't care at all. It's good to be ambitious, so he wouldn't be like the kneeling group of people who were unwilling to do practical things.
The civil and military officials in the court were shocked and admonished one after another: "Your Majesty, you can't do that. How can a woman be a general?" How can a woman be an official when she can just dance with needles and thread in the backyard?
The emperor raised his hand, "My dear friends, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. Could it be that you want to resist?"
His voice was not loud, but it frightened all the officials to kneel down and shout. The corpses in the hall were still hot, and they still thought the head was more important. If the prince or the third prince were in power now, they would definitely start complaining, but this He is the founding emperor. As we all know, the founding emperor has special privileges.
The founding emperor directly controlled the military, and the key positions in the court were all his confidants. Anyone who was seriously ill and tried to force him would be either stubborn or destined to die.
Prison.
Qingqiu looked at Father Shen who was lying on the ground with weak breathing, and called out, "Father, my daughter is here to see you."
His eyelids moved. The blood loss made him dizzy. He couldn't even hear what she was saying clearly. He could only vaguely see her mouth opening and closing.
Marquis Wu An frowned, "I'm already unconscious. It's only been a few hours."
"It's okay. Ask Shen the same way."
Just as they were about to leave, Shen Qingshuang's voice came from the cell next to them.
"I'll go out and wait for you." Marquis Wu An knew that she didn't want to hear that part of her past again, for fear that he would be tempted to kill her.
She didn't speak until the person walked out, "Who are you?"
She was particularly calm during this period of time in prison, and she thought of many unreasonable things. In her memory, Shen Qingqiu was timid and cowardly. Although he was a little cautious, he was just a scheming person.
The person in front of her was equally good at character and overall outlook, and they were nothing like them. That's right, a maid had told her before she left the cabinet, but she didn't care.
Qingqiu was not surprised. She had never imitated the original owner since she came here. It was only a matter of time before someone discovered her. But she only replied: "I am Shen Qingqiu."
She has the same name as the original owner, and perhaps that's why she came to the original owner.
Shen Qingshuang asked: "What about her? What is the final outcome?"
"It's very similar to your dream."
Shen Qingshuang laughed when she got the answer. She knew that she would not be defeated by that coward. She did not lose!
Qingqiu didn't know what she was laughing at. What could a prisoner be proud of?
"I specifically begged the emperor to spare your life, but the death penalty cannot be avoided. You will be used as a military prostitute until your death."
She didn't want to do this to any woman, but there was nothing she could do about it. People, unless the knife cuts her body, she would never feel the pain.
Shen Qingshuang sneered, "Thank you so much, General Shen, for sparing me."
She knew that Shen Qingqiu was seeking revenge on her, but what about military prostitutes? There were so many people in the world who were just surviving, and she was just one of them. Her dignity and innocence could never be compared to her own life.
Just like in the dream, he was still alive after being sold into a brothel by her. If he hadn't contracted a heart disease and died, who would know what happened next?
The day before the army is about to set off.
"Miss, Wang wants to see you."
Wang, doesn’t she know such a person?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Luzhu explained: "She is the Shen family. After the divorce, she will no longer take her husband's surname."
Qingqiu has been waiting for her. Now that Shen's father is dead, she is the only one who knows how the original owner's mother died.
Mrs. Wang leaned down and saluted, "I have met the general."
Qingqiu supported his chin with his hand, looking lazy, "You are still the same as before." The same reality.
Wang didn't pay attention to her sarcasm, "The general said that I could come to you at any time, but did you still count?"
Of course Qingqiu would not refuse.
Seeing that she acquiesced to the Wang family, she began to talk about the past, "Your mother did die at the hands of the Grand Master. Back then..."
"That is to say, he did save people back then, but when he learned his identity, he wanted to use the Marquis's mansion to climb up. He forced my mother to have me, but in the end he left the mother and kept the son because he couldn't win over people."
Qingqiu really didn't expect Father Shen to be such a scumbag. If you saved someone and sent him back to the Hou Mansion, would you still treat him badly? With the relationship with the Marquis Mansion, he will only climb up even faster.
Wang smiled mockingly, "Moreover, you survived because you were valuable. He probably didn't expect that his greed cost him his life."
She thought of that woman back then, "Speaking of the fact that he had so many extramarital affairs but no heirs, it's really thanks to your mother who gave him the sterilization medicine, otherwise I would have wasted so much effort." Although the medicine was given by herself, this It did not hinder her appreciation for Shen's mother. There were too few such women. This was probably one of the reasons why she kept Shen Qingqiu.
She wanted to say something else, but her heart ached, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out. The moment before she died, she thought of the Grand Master's face. The two of them looked so alike. They deceived each other and ended up being deceived.
Qingqiu looked at the person who died of poisoning and ordered her servants to bury her. Wang never made a move to her, or maybe she just didn't find a chance, but since nothing happened she was still willing to give her a thin coffin.
