A dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky of the Great Zhou Palace.
Although it was still daytime and there was still half a sun in the sky, the burning fireworks were still colorful and illuminated Qingyu's eyes.
"Boom!" There was a sound, and the heavy palace door slowly opened in an instant, and another line of forbidden troops marched out neatly.
The dozen or so guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion sighed secretly.
Following the imperial army towards the palace, I don't know whether it was because I was happy that I was still alive, or because I felt sad for the dead Yuwen Fengyun and the Prime Minister.
All the guards knew that from the moment the Forbidden Army left the palace.
The era of the Prime Minister is over.
Xiao Hei silently put away the wine bottle and pulled up Qingyu who was sitting on the ground.
Seeing her shouting in disbelief: "Sister Qingyu, you are an idiot. You led more than sixty forbidden troops to fight against them. You won't pull out three hundred people and scare them to death?"
Qingyu shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect them to be so vicious."
Xiao Hei was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he took out the golden wound medicine and applied it on her. Qing Yu handed him a silk scarf, and Xiao Hei carefully bandaged her left arm.
After finishing all this, he shook his head and said, "You are even crazier than I was back then. The wound on your right arm has not healed yet, and your left arm is injured like this."
Qingyu looked at him and smiled bitterly: "I owe this to my empress. After completing this important matter, I will no longer have to fight against others."
Qingyu thought for a while, looked at Xiaohei and asked, "Will you go into the palace to help the queen?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, pointed to the two carriages opposite the palace and said, "My sister is in the carriage. My brother asked me to rescue you and go home immediately."
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then said with a grimace: "You are so cruel, you don't even care about me anymore."
Xiao Hei shook his head, sighed, took a piece of talisman and handed it to Qingyu.
He said seriously: "I'll give you a life-saving treasure... Go ahead, there will probably be a big battle soon."
"What about you? Are you really going home?"
Qingyu said in disbelief: "The queen told me that after seeing you, she asked you to take your two sisters into the palace to see her."
Xiao Hei's face turned dark when he heard this: "Did you tell the empress?"
Qingyu curled her lips and replied: "This has nothing to do with me. A new queen has arrived in Dazhou... You'd better go home and ask your brother, he knows all this."
Xiao Hei was even more shocked. He frowned and asked, "How long have I been away? The Queen has also changed?"
Qingyu sighed and walked towards the palace, turning back and saying, "Don't leave yet, keep an eye on me. The Queen is also someone your brother knows..."
Xiao Hei looked at Qing Yu's back and yelled: "Brother, where did this Queen of Zhou come from?"
Li Xiuyuan's calm reply came to his ears: "She is Qingyu's junior sister and the princess of the desert... You stay outside the palace for a while and let the old shopkeeper take the two little guys home first."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei finally knew that in the years since he had been away from his brother, there were probably many stories in the desert.
While chattering, he walked towards the opposite side of the palace.
Looking at the two curious babies with their heads stretched out, Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Sister, come down and let grandpa take you home first. Brother can't wait any longer."
After saying that, he took Yan'er and Qingqing out of the carriage and pulled them towards the carriage where the old shopkeeper was.
Yan'er turned to look at the palace gate and asked, "Brother, are you going to help sister Qingyu fight?"
"Not going."
Xiao Hei replied quietly: "I'll just watch here. As long as nothing happens to her, I'll go home in an hour."
After saying that, he took out a bag of coins and handed them to the two coachmen.
He said quietly: "You can just send my sister home and ignore me. Thank you for sending us back to the imperial city."
The old shopkeeper picked up the two little guys and got on the carriage, looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Don't you need me to stay with you here?"
Xiao Hei shook his head: "Brother asked you to go back first. Now that you have returned to the imperial city, you must obey my brother's arrangements in everything."
Qingqing waved to Xiao Hei and said, "Brother, come back early."
Yan'er also waved her hand and said: "Yan'er is waiting for her brother to come back to eat Xing'er."
Xiao Hei couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "There are two apricot trees in the yard. You can't finish them even if you let go. Go back quickly."
The old shopkeeper nodded and got on the carriage. The two carriages broke through the scorching summer and slowly headed to the other side of the long street.
Xiaohei looked at Qingyu who was walking towards the palace step by step and said: "This time, don't be an idiot again!"
…
In the Hanren Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Since the Prime Minister came to power, in order to show his respect for Yuwen Hu, Emperor Wu always treated the Prime Minister as family members when meeting him in the palace.
Emperor Wu's mother ordered the Empress Dowager to sit in the upper position and give the prime minister a seat.
Yuwen Hu sat down as ordered, while Emperor Wu, as the emperor, stood aside as his cousin.
The Queen Mother exchanged greetings with the Prime Minister and asked about the situation of the war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
As the prime minister, Yu Wenhu pressed the intelligence received and reported back one by one.
Emperor Wu, who was standing aside, frowned and said to Yuwen Hu: "The Queen Mother is getting older, and she likes to drink, and her temper is getting worse and worse. Since my brother has returned to the imperial city, please give her some advice for me."
After speaking, he took out a "Jiu Gao" from behind and handed it to Yu Wenhu, saying sincerely: "Brother, please read this to the Queen Mother."
Yu Wenhu took the "Jiu Gao" and took a look at it, then started reciting it in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Wu and couldn't help but change his mind, so she closed her eyes and listened quietly.
Except for Hanren Hall, the atmosphere in the entire palace was solemn and solemn.
In front of Weiyang Palace, the imperial guards lined up from the steps all the way to the palace gate. Everyone was wearing armor, and they were all murderous.
Mr. Li was sitting in Weiyang Palace, looking a little nervous and a little lonely.
The queen sitting next to her was a little less fragile and more steady.
Ashina didn't know what big event was going to happen to Gong Ru. Early in the morning, Mrs. Li invited her to the Weiyang Palace. She saw Wu Shi and refused to let her leave.
She didn't know what was going to happen, so she just had to bite the bullet and ask: "Sister, something big is going to happen?"
She knew that Li's cultivation was much higher than hers, so she naturally had to listen to her sister's arrangements for anything.
Not to mention, Qingyu left in a hurry and never came back.
Seeing the queen's nervous look, Mrs. Li twitched her ears, looked at her and smiled: "Qingyu has returned to the palace."
When Aminna heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "After these two days of work, I will go up the mountain with my senior sister to see the master."
Mrs. Li sighed, looked at her and said lovingly: "After today, it's up to you how long you want to go and when you want to go. As long as you are happy."
Asuna exclaimed and replied, "That's great."
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is Qingyu going back to Weiyang Palace? I'm a little tired and want to go back to the palace to rest for a while."
Mrs. Li shook her head, took her hand and smiled bitterly: "You can't go anywhere today, just rest in my palace. After today, the world inside and outside the palace will be yours."
This time, Asuna finally felt that something was wrong.
He took Li's hand and asked nervously: "Sister, did something big happen in the palace?"
Li Shi replied quietly: "Don't be afraid, Qingyu has gone to Hanren Hall, and everything will be over in less than an hour."
"Do you want my help?"
Asuna thought about how she was also a little monk, and the daughter of Da Mo was not so pretentious.
When she, Xiaohu and Shuzi encountered bandits in the desert, she experienced the life-and-death struggle.
Not to mention, she, the empress of Zhou, who is now the most important, naturally wants to stand with Emperor Wu.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is not dead, and it is not the Queen's turn to take action herself."
Li Shi sighed and comforted: "If you are sleepy, go in and have a rest. Tonight, the two of us sisters plus Qing Yu will have a good drink here."
As soon as Asuna heard this, her tiredness flew to nowhere.
He took Li's hand and said firmly: "Before Qingyu comes back, I want to stay here with my sister."
Li looked at her and smiled softly: "That's fine, today we sisters will live and die together and tide over the difficulties together."
In Hanren Hall.
Yu Wenhu had already recited most of the "Jiu Gao" in his hand. The Queen Mother listened carefully with her eyes closed, while Emperor Wu who stood aside frowned tightly.
At this moment, a blood-stained sapphire man walked in step by step with a long sword hanging on his waist.
Prime Minister Yu Wenhu, who had been reciting attentively, frowned, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he was instantly awakened by a sudden bloody murderous aura.
Looking back...
"Your Majesty, Qingyu is here!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and Qingyu walked slowly step by step, her blood-stained skirt swaying gently, which hurt people's hearts.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs nearby were so frightened that they screamed: "Qingyu, what do you want to do?"
The old eunuch of Hanren Palace exclaimed, looked at her and scolded: "What do you want to do?"
Emperor Wu waved his hand and said coldly: "You just stand aside and wait. This is none of your business."
When the old eunuch and several palace maids heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and lowered their heads.
Looking at the blood-stained sapphire, Emperor Wu's expression changed and he asked coldly: "Has the rebellion outside the palace subsided?"
Qingyu nodded with Emperor Wu and said in a solemn voice: "The rebel guards have been executed, and the remaining surrendered guards have gone to the military camp with the Forbidden Army, waiting for His Majesty's orders."
The Prime Minister was shocked when he heard this, and immediately an extremely ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He immediately put down the "Jiu Gao" in his hand and rushed out of the palace without saying a word.
Qingyu took a step forward and said quietly: "Master Prime Minister, I have an order from the Queen, you cannot leave Hanren Hall."
Qingyu crossed her body and stood in front of Yuwen Hu, showing no intention of giving in.
"Qingyu, do you want to rebel with the Li family? Didn't you know that the emperor is still here?!" Yuwen shouted in anger.
The green jade leader's expression remained unchanged and he replied quietly, "Master Prime Minister, please calm down. The guards in your palace tried to force their way into the palace to rebel, but they have already been dealt with by the Imperial Army!"
"You are looking for death!"
Yu Wenhu was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Qingyu stood in front of him, so he had no choice for the moment.
Not to mention the Queen Mother and the Emperor behind her.
Emperor Wu stood aside quietly, looking at Qingyu's stubborn figure, with an unspeakable meaning flashing in his eyes, and a hint of appreciation.
The little girl who married Mrs. Li back then has grown up.
When she grows up, she can protect him and Li from the wind and rain coming from the palace.
Yu Wenhu took a deep breath and said coldly: "Do you know that when you said these words, you were already a dead person?"
Qingyu replied coldly: "Qingyu has already died outside the palace once, and she is not afraid of dying again."
Emperor Wu stood aside and said nothing, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the phoenix couch, had leaned aside and closed her eyes. It was obviously the Prime Minister's recitation that sent her into a dream.
There was a clang, and the Prime Minister Yu Wenhu was the only person in the Zhou Dynasty who could carry a sword into the palace.
The long sword was unsheathed and pointed at Qingyu in front of him, and he said coldly: "I want to see who dares to touch my Yu Wenhu in the Imperial City of Great Zhou!"
Qingyu glanced at the Queen Mother on the phoenix couch and said quietly: "From this moment on, you are no longer the Prime Minister, you are a traitor!"
Yu Wenhu raised his head and glanced at the sleeping Queen Mother, and took a deep breath.
He roared angrily: "Come on, today either you will die or I will die. Your Majesty, if you want my life, there is no need to accuse me of betraying the Great Zhou!"
Emperor Wu looked at him and replied quietly: "I have been waiting for this day for many years!"
