I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 253 Queen Liu’s Death

Xiao Yinchen seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and he became dispirited and shaky.

Seeing this, Yun Yue immediately tied him up tightly with ropes to prevent him from doing anything extreme, and then temporarily ignored his pitiful appearance.

He asked Xiao Yinmo: "What should we do in this situation now?"

Xiao Yinmo frowned, thought for a moment and then replied, "Yue'er, you and Fubao wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Is it not dangerous?"

Xiao Yinmo gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Yue'er, nothing will happen. This... is also my home." After that, he strode out of the hall resolutely.

At this moment, the eunuchs and guards guarding the door were all stunned when they saw Xiao Yinmo suddenly walk out of the palace. Their jaws almost dropped to the ground. You know, this is a heavily guarded place. With so many eyes watching, no one noticed when Prince Rong entered the palace. This is really unbelievable!

"Zhang Shiquan!" Xiao Yinmo caught a glimpse of eunuch Zhang standing next to him, who was pale with fear, and shouted loudly.

When Eunuch Zhang heard the call, he trembled all over and stammered, "Grand…Prince…I am…"

Xiao Yinmo's face was grim, and he asked sternly, "Where are those people who were taken away now?"

Eunuch Zhang raised his hand tremblingly, pointed in a direction not far away, and said in a trembling voice: "In... over there..."

Xiao Yinmo raised his sword-like eyebrows and shouted, "Hurry up and take me there!"

"Yes... yes..." Eunuch Zhang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He nodded and bowed hurriedly, leading the way, ready to take Xiao Yinmo to that direction.

However, Xiao Yinmo seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped and gathered his strength, shouting: "The dragon dances in the sky, and its might shakes all directions. Where is the Golden Dragon Guard?" This roar was like thunder, exploding in the air and shaking the surrounding leaves.

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

Among the many imperial guards who had originally surrounded Xiao Yinmo and were somewhat at a loss, about a quarter of the soldiers responded in unison. They moved in unison, took a step forward, and showed firm and courageous expressions on their faces.

At the same time, the secret guards who had been hiding in the dark corners suddenly appeared like ghosts, knelt down without hesitation, and bowed respectfully in front of Xiao Yinmo.

Eunuch Zhang opened his mouth and could not speak. It turned out that... the Golden Dragon Guard that the emperor had been looking for was hiding beside him...

"Let's go." Xiao Yinmo's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at everyone with a firm gaze, then waved his hand and led this elite force that had just appeared to stride forward in the direction indicated by Eunuch Zhang.

The other royal guards who had been standing there in a daze hesitated for a moment and then followed.

You know, Xiao Yinchen had imprisoned Xiao Yinmo in his previous life, and was determined to gain control of the Golden Dragon Guard.

But in fact, the so-called Golden Dragon Guard is not an independent force as people imagine.

In fact, they were composed of a group of special personnel carefully arranged by the founding emperor, skillfully interspersed and hidden in the imperial guards, secret guards and even the army.

Moreover, these Golden Dragon Guards would only be loyal to each crown prince who was established. The unique password to summon the Golden Dragon Guards could only be known by word of mouth between each crown prince.

The reason for doing this is to be able to know more clearly what is happening in the army. If someone rebels, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

After all, the rebellion had not yet started, but the emperor knew about it first, and his subordinates rebelled first.

……

When Xiao Yinmo arrived, the ministers' heads had been chopped off in half. Liu Chuantang's body was torn apart and thrown aside.

Some of the remaining people were so frightened that they lost control of their bladder and collapsed to the ground; some went crazy and kept cursing; and some burst into tears in grief.

Xiao Yinmo shouted hurriedly: "Stop!"

To the ministers who were already frightened and panicked, this sound was like the sound of nature.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince!!!” There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.

"Your Highness, please save us. We really know we were wrong..." a minister pleaded with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Highness, please have mercy and save our family. We are willing to die, but we hope you can convince the emperor to let our relatives go..." Another person cried and complained.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that someone among them had betrayed him, and also seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Yinmo was now the Prince of Rong. Or perhaps, they wanted to use the familiar title of "Your Highness the Crown Prince" to awaken a trace of pity in Xiao Yinmo's heart for them.

Xiao Yinmo sighed and said to the Imperial Guards who followed him:

"Take them to the prison for now, and send their families with them."

After saying this, Xiao Yinmo looked at Queen Liu who was standing beside him holding Xiao Ping.

Queen Liu also looked at him, not at all surprised why he appeared here.

"Brother... I know that my Liu family is guilty of unforgivable crimes. I only ask... I only ask that you exchange my worthless life for my son's life, okay? He... he is a child. He couldn't choose his own birth. It's all my fault... it's all my fault that he was harmed..."

Xiao Yinmo looked at the child who was about the same age as his son and whose face turned pale with fear because of Liu Chuantang's corpse beside him.

I couldn't help but put myself in Fubao's shoes, so I sighed and said, "Okay."

Queen Liu stood up gratefully, tidied her hair, knelt down and saluted solemnly to Xiao Yinmo, then took Xiao Ping's hand and instructed: "Ping'er, this is... Prince Rong, the former Crown Prince. He is a good man and will be a good king in the future. You follow him and be a good person. Grow up well and take good care of yourself... Don't think about revenge, because this is my fault, I did something wrong... Remember?"

Queen Liu sent Xiao Ping to Xiao Yinmo's side, then slowly bent her knees and bowed respectfully again.

Her beautiful yet sad eyes stared at Xiao Ping, filled with endless attachment and reluctance: "Ping'er, be obedient and close your eyes."

At this moment, Xiao Ping seemed to have a premonition of something terrible that was about to happen. His face was filled with fear, tears burst out like a dam breaking, and he cried out at the top of his lungs: "Mother! No! I don't want to close my eyes!"

He desperately stretched out his little hands, trying to grab Queen Liu, but was held tightly by Xiao Yinmo, who quickly covered Xiao Ping's eyes with his broad and powerful hands.

Queen Liu looked at Xiao Yinmo gratefully, then turned around without hesitation, snatched the sharp sword from the hand of a guard next to her, pointed it at her abdomen, and stabbed it hard.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, staining her gorgeous phoenix robe red.

"Brother...Brother...I'm sorry." Queen Liu endured the severe pain and spoke with difficulty to apologize to Xiao Yinmo.

Her voice was trembling, as if she had to use up all her strength to say each word: "Please... just let Ping'er live like a normal child... just let her live... just let her live..."

Before she could finish her words, she could no longer support her body and fell straight backwards.

He fell heavily to the cold ground, and a pool of blood gradually gathered under him.

However, even though her life was slipping away, she still used up her last bit of strength to turn her head and look at the child in Xiao Yinmo's arms, who was crying heartbreakingly and grief-stricken. Her eyes were filled with deep maternal love and reluctance, but in the end she reluctantly looked away.

Queen Liu looked up at the vast, boundless blue sky above her head and smiled with a hint of relief.

Ping'er, mother is gone.

Don't cry, mom is finally free.

In the next life, I want to be a girl from an ordinary family and marry a man from an ordinary family.

He no longer had to put family interests first, nor did he have to get his hands stained with blood in power struggles. He also would not be trapped in this bottomless palace, gradually becoming disgusted with himself.

So, Ping'er, come back to be my child in the next life. By then, we will surely be able to live a simple and happy life...
