Chapter 276 Sunset Sends Bloody Edict
Even at this critical moment when disaster was imminent, Empress Cao did not forget to think in her heart about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhao Ceying becoming the new emperor.
He did not forget to sigh,
"The ministers in the court were arguing endlessly over the issue of appointing a crown prince. Who could have expected that this appointment of a crown prince would come with a knife at one's neck?
This is fate.”
The old emperor was seriously ill and didn't have much strength. He wrapped the tiger talisman in the blood letter and handed it to Empress Cao.
"You, find a way to give this military token to Zhao Ceying."
"But the imperial city has been surrounded by rebels. Who can leave the palace to deliver the letter?"
*
The army of Yuzhou was only a few dozen miles away from the imperial city.
Zhao Ceying was wearing silver armor, holding a spear in his hand, riding his horse and galloping at the front, feeling a little complicated.
There are feelings, but also some determination.
If there is no chaos in the capital, he will go there to seek justice for his father and accuse Prince Yan of being the heir to the throne.
If the capital is in chaos...
Recalling the all-night conversation he had with his father two days ago after Molan finally woke up.
Zhao Zongquan, who was seriously injured and still bedridden, was scared. (PS, I'm not blackening him. In the plot, he advocated giving in, and was repeatedly talked out of his mind by Gu Er and his son.)
He wanted to go to the farm. He didn't want to fight, and he didn't want his son to fight.
He wanted to hide away peacefully and live his own life.
Listening to his father's disappointing remarks, Zhao Ceying felt a surge of anger rushing from his dantian to his brain.
Not to mention whether they can live a peaceful life even if they go to the manor.
His whole family, including his wife and relatives, are all in Yuzhou, so what about Molan?
What would happen to Molan's family if the brutal and traitor Prince Yan came to power?
As a member of the royal family, one naturally has to have the responsibility and blood of a royal family!
This is no longer about peace, this is cowardly!
But, Zhao Zongquan is his father after all, and it is understandable that a person says some weak words against his will when he is sick.
It is not easy to endure the pain of broken bones and shattered flesh without making a sound.
So Zhao Ceying restrained himself as much as possible and just expressed his attitude in a strong and forceful manner.
"Dad, we are the bloodline of our great ancestors, descendants of the royal family!
If you are so afraid, won't you be laughed at by the world?
Moreover, since ancient times, there has never been any reason for an imperial heir to kill an imperial heir in our dynasty.
The more we give in, the more we will be at the mercy of others. Only by removing the fuel from the fire and completely wiping it out can we have a long-term solution!
This time, if you succeed, you will become king, if you fail, you will perish!
If we don't fight, we will perish!
I have made up my mind! Father! Please forgive me for being unfilial! "
After saying this, he prepared to lead the Yuzhou troops to rush to Bianliang overnight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the gate of Zhao's Mansion, he saw Mo Lan, who was still wearing a headband due to a serious illness, riding a horse and waiting for him in front of everyone.
"Let's go, my little official."
Her smile will always make Zhao Ceying unforgettable and infatuated.
……
"Are you still feeling dizzy? It's time to take the medicine. Can we take the medicine first and then continue on our journey?"
Molan shook her head, lifted her veil and replied to Zhao Ceying, "No, it won't be too late when we get to Bianjing."
After running for a few more miles, Zhao Ceying and Molan, who were walking in front, saw a carriage being stopped at the same time.
And the emblem hanging on this carriage is the Sheng Mansion.
Zhao Ceying immediately led his troops to speed forward, while Molan picked up the longbow, bent the bow and drew the arrow.
There was a sound of breaking air, and the next moment, the soldier who kicked open the car door and was about to chop inside with a knife was shot through the head.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Lin Qinshuang only felt a little wetness on her cheeks.
The peacock green color of the arrow's tail feathers instantly replaced Lin Qinshuang's panic and fear with excitement.
It’s Molan!
"Mom, don't worry. If you are in danger someday, your daughter will definitely come to save you with a bow and arrow."
This peacock green is her favorite color.
Because of its preciousness, rarity and high status, it is also known as the "Dragon Bird".
She is coming! !
Lin Qinshuang did not stick her head out of the car immediately. The sound of weapons colliding continued outside the car, and the thirteen-year-old little palace maid in her arms was also trembling in anxiety and fear.
Soon, the commotion subsided.
"mother!"
A shout was worth a thousand words. Lin Qinshuang lifted the half-ripped curtain, stuck her head out and said, "Mom is here."
Lin Qinshuang did not excitedly reminisce with Molan, but took out the imperial edict and a hard object that she had kept for safekeeping. She first glanced at Molan, and after seeing her nod, she said,
"Sir, this is something the government must give to you."
While Zhao Ceying took the imperial edict and began to examine it, Lin Qinshuang explained the ins and outs of this thing. While speaking, she turned around and sought confirmation from the palace maid.
The palace maid had some wounds from the scratches, and Lin Qinshuang looked quite embarrassed due to the bumpy ride.
Molan raised her hand and wiped Lin Qinshuang's face with a handkerchief.
"Mother, you and Wanxia are both injured. Rest here. It won't be long before the guards and doctors from Sheng Mansion come to pick you up."
Lin Qinshuang understood Molan's hint, and Wanxia naturally understood it as well.
Sunset rose is a rose with orange and yellow stripes.
Naturally, when one is rich and powerful, he will feel at ease only when his own family is well fed.
There is not much worth talking about Wanxia's life experience, she just has a mother who is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of others.
She taught by example for ten years, in order to make this child a superior person, and in order to be able to personally avenge the villain who owed them their identities and lives.
——The fifth son of a Korean noble family.
So at the moment of the palace coup, when the Queen raised questions, Wanxia was not silent in fear, but rather a stunned yet thoughtful silence.
This should be the 'that time' that the noble man mentioned.
After thinking it over, she resolutely stepped forward and took on the task.
She talked about the trivial matter between the old emperor and her, which made people think that the emperor was a kind person. But in her heart she was actually laughing at herself for her own meanness.
Fortunately she did.
The noble lady has her own arrangements, so the old emperor should be fine, and she will naturally benefit from completing the task.
very nice.
Mom, don't worry, it won't be long before I can come to see you with your favorite ice cream.
Ice cream is a common pastry in the Song Dynasty. It is made with one liter of rice and glutinous rice, four ounces of fried yam, cored lotus seeds, and water chestnuts, grind them into fine powder, add one and a half pounds of white sugar, stir until smooth, and steam it in a steamer.
Mother kept muttering about it.
He said that when he was displaced, he couldn't even afford noodles, so how could he dare to dream of these snacks that tasted like snow.
He said that even after being rescued by his benefactor, he still didn't dare to buy anything, for fear that he would waste his good fortune by being extravagant.
She said, sunset, when you grow up you must go and have a taste of it, it melts in your mouth, it’s soft, glutinous and refreshing, mom will never forget it for the rest of her life.
Wanxia watched Molan and the troops march away quickly, raising dust.
She watched them go farther and farther away, then looked up at the sky and said in her heart,
"Mother, the nobleman has already left.
The situation in Bianjing City is about to change, and I have also received the guarantee from the government, so I will have an identity.
Mom...let's eat ice cream together then, okay?"
