It was a cute and flattering smile, and the flattery on his face was mixed with a hint of fear, which looked extremely weird.
She carefully pulled Leng Yi's sleeves and leaned towards her, actually wanting to throw herself into his arms.
Although Leng Yi hated Mrs. Xie and the prince, he had no interest in this old lady who was about the same age as his mother, so he subconsciously stepped back and tried to push her away.
However, the queen grabbed his chest tightly, and the tears that had been swirling in her eyes suddenly burst out.
She was crying, but the corners of her lips were raised higher, and the flattering look on her face became more and more obvious.
"Brother Hao, I swear, I really changed!" She held Leng Yi with one hand and raised the other, with sobs in her throat and a trembling cry in her voice, but she tried her best to hold back the crying and forced a smile to swear. , "From now on, I, Xie Yun, have no parents or brothers. I am born as Xiao Hao's person, and die as Xiao Hao's ghost! I only have you as my master. No matter who the master is, I will follow you life and death! If you violate this oath, , Brother Hao... then pulled out my long nails..."
She looked down at her bleeding fingers, and the fear surged out again. Her body shook like chaff, and her teeth began to chatter again, as if she was about to have another emotional breakdown!
Seeing this, Leng Yi hurriedly followed her words: "Brother Hao believes in you!"
After saying that, he still endured the strong discomfort and touched the queen's head.
The moment his fingers fell on her hair, the fear in the Queen's eyes finally subsided like a tide, leaving only endless flattery and submission. She leaned her head in his arms, hugged his waist tremblingly, and said shiveringly : "I...I knew that Brother Hao still...loved me...in his heart..."
"Of course!" Leng Yi gritted his teeth and moaned with her, "You are always the only one in my heart, so you must be good and obedient! Do you understand?"
"Yes!" The queen nodded vigorously, "I will definitely listen to my master! I will never do anything that my master doesn't want me to do! I will definitely not like people who my master doesn't like! I will help my master kill people he hates." Kill him! Even if they are my parents, brothers, and my relatives and children! I will always be the slave of the master and will never betray the master! No matter what the master does to me, I will be happy with it! Master..."
When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Leng Yi tremblingly, "Master, please stop beating me, pulling out my nails, and peeling my skin from now on, okay?"
Leng Yi nodded: "Okay! As long as you are good enough, I will never touch you again!"
After receiving this promise, the Queen obviously relaxed.
She collapsed in Leng Yi's arms and murmured back: "I'm good! I'm very good! I will always be good! Always...be good..."
The tight strings in her body suddenly relaxed, and sleepiness soon came over her. She slowly closed her eyes, but she still kept chanting: "Be good... never resist... Master does this to me. For my own good! I was remade by him, yes, I belong to him..."
"I can live only if he gives birth to me. If he dies, no one can protect me anymore..."
"Yes, that's it!"
"That's it……"
…
The murmurings gradually dropped to the point where they were no longer sound.
The queen finally settled down and fell asleep.
Early next morning.
The first thing Leng Yi did after getting up was to rush into the queen's room to check on her condition.
The queen had already gotten up and was dressing up in front of the mirror.
Nan Ming's maid was binding her hair and dressing up as she requested. She was staring in the mirror in a daze, not knowing what was going on in her mind. When she heard the movement, she turned to look over.
Seeing it was Leng Yi, he waved to him: "Come here!"
Just this sentence made Leng Yi happy.
The tone was condescending, no longer as humble and flattering as last night.
The queen finally returned to her original state.
"Empress!" Leng Yi stepped forward in a flattering tone.
"I will enter the palace soon..." The queen looked at her, "You said you would contact Prince Zhao and the Zhang family. How did things go?"
"That's all right!" Leng Yi replied, "Prince Zhao will return to Beijing early today! By then, he should enter the palace one after the other with us!"
"Very good!" The queen nodded with satisfaction, "With the help of King Zhao and the envoys, our chances of rescuing the emperor will be greater! However, the prince has always been strong, has good kung fu, and is surrounded by many masters, even with me here , he may not take it seriously! He even dares to touch his father, so who am I, the queen? He usually treats me..."
Halfway through her words, she didn't know what she thought of, her brows suddenly wrinkled, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes!
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Leng Yi was frightened.
The queen didn't speak, she held her head and bent her knees, her teeth began to chatter again.
Seeing her like this, Leng Yi's heart was in his throat. He was about to call the doctor, but the queen raised her head again, her eyes filled with scarlet, urging him: "Quick, go make arrangements! We must get rid of the prince today and rescue the emperor." !”
…
The autumn sun is shining, bright but not warm. The capital city, which has experienced a catastrophe, is currently in mourning. Flying white flags and paper money can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The people who survived the catastrophe silently bid farewell to their deceased relatives, and the entire capital was filled with cries.
In such a sad and sad atmosphere, the envoys from Qunfang Garden seemed so out of place. No one greeted them wherever they passed, and no one stopped to pay attention. Everyone was immersed in grief and paid tribute to this team that had traveled a long way. There was no interest in the gorgeous convoy that came.
Meng Yiping and Leng Yi mixed in the team and took the lead towards the imperial city. At this moment, a funeral procession came out of the corner and happened to collide with the mission's motorcade.
The street is actually quite wide, but the teams on both sides are quite large. On the mission's side are wide carriages, which occupy the entire street as they walk on the road.
The funeral procession on the opposite side was carrying a black wooden coffin. This wooden coffin was extremely heavy and required more than ten people to lift it together. It was extremely difficult to retreat at this time.
The two parties collided head to head, and everyone stopped.
The leader of the funeral procession was an old man with white hair. He recognized it as the missionary convoy and discussed it with the people behind him.
According to Da Xiao's rules, the dead have priority, and the living always give way to the dead. Even if the wedding procession bumps into the funeral procession, they must step aside and give way.
But the other party is a foreign mission, considered a distinguished guest. They are the people of the Great Xiao, so naturally they cannot tell others the rules of the Great Xiao. Not to mention, they are just ordinary people, and they do not dare to compete with the distinguished guests of the imperial court.
But according to the rules of the Great Xiao, there is no turning back during a funeral, which is taboo for everyone.
The old man was helping the master. After discussing with the filial son of the master, he chose a compromise method and lowered the coffin against the street corner. The coffin bearers were asked to stand behind the coffin for the time being, while the others leaned as far to the side as possible. Allow maximum space for the mission fleet.
