Chapter 348 Out of reach
Su Mo was wearing a phoenix crown, a Xiapei, heavy makeup, and sat in the room blankly.

After learning the news of Emperor Qi Ming's death, she fell into a trance.She didn't know how she was dressed like this and was taken to the capital again.I only vaguely remember Lin Kui comforting her constantly on the way, saying that Emperor Qi Ming was assassinated by Xiao Zhuo, and the empress confirmed it herself.The decree of Zhai Xing Lou made Xiao Beiheng the crown prince, the Prime Minister and various ministers have already confirmed... and so on.

She didn't believe that Xiao Zhuo would do such a thing.But I was even more afraid to think of another possibility.Whenever that thought came up, she would forcefully suppress it.The way is to empty your mind, think about nothing, and make yourself a fool.

If people can really become demented, they don't need to feel pain anymore, but unfortunately she can't do it.That thought wrapped around her heart like a giant python spewing out letters, each time it was tightened more tightly.

She didn't know what happened at the Anzhou hunting ground, but she knew that it was Xiao Beiheng who killed his father, while his mother was covering it up for her son.

What kind of family did she marry into? The once amiable people turned out to be more terrifying than the other.Father Huang, perhaps the only normal person, is dead.And she can't do anything but be at the mercy of others.

She hated herself for being weak and incompetent, but she didn't know what to do to change.I just hugged my head with both hands and shook vigorously, trying to shake these thoughts out of my mind. As long as I don't think about anything, I will get temporary peace.

The door opened, and Xiao Beiheng, who was wearing a dragon robe, stood at the door with a smile all over his face, holding the Yan Que Sword at his waist.

He was neatly dressed, his hair was combed meticulously, no different from him in the past, and the smile on his face was also the one she was most familiar with.He was like that when the two first met.Neat and proud, with the frivolity and disdain of a young man, he conquered her heart with his outstanding conversation.

At this moment, in her eyes, his hands were dripping with blood, even the exposed teeth were red, the blood belonged to his father.There are also bloody footprints under his feet, there are men's, women's, and children... The bloody footprints lead to the stairs behind him. Those stairs are made of bones, and he came to her by stepping on piles of bones.

She stood up in a panic and wanted to back away, but her legs were blocked by the bed and she sat down again.

From Xiao Beiheng's point of view, this movement seemed like Su Mo wanted to stand up but had no strength.He smiled and approached steadily to help Su Mo, and said in a gentle voice, "You are not feeling well, did you not rest on the way?"

Su Mo avoided his gaze and whispered, "No, I'm just a little nervous."

Although she had a lot to say, she didn't dare to ask anything.Once he got angry, he would slap her in the face.He wasn't like this before.

Xiao Beiheng smiled and said: "Momo, Fengxi Palace belongs to you alone, why are you nervous?"

He raised his arms and showed his dragon robe like a bird showing its feathers: "Look, I am really the emperor. Hehe, I am not lying to you this time. I have the will of my father, and the ministers all recognize it Don't congratulate me?"

Su Mo lowered her head, clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, and bowed slightly: "I congratulate Your Majesty."

She is Xiao Beiheng's wife.No matter what the husband does, she must stand by his side.After all, without Xiao Beiheng, she is nothing.Without Xiao Beiheng, all the splendor and wealth she possessed would be reduced to a thing of the past.

Xiao Beiheng stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and looked at her flickering eyes: "Momo, you are too coping. You don't have a smile on your face, and your hair and jewelry are all messed up."

The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched twice, forced out a smile, turned to the bright place, raised her hand to straighten the phoenix crown, and was about to kneel down to salute but was stopped by Xiao Beiheng.

"Wait, let me sit down."

Xiao Beiheng tidied up his dragon robe, sat on a chair with his back straight, and looked at Su Mo complacently, only to find that the latter stood there blankly with a sad face.He felt dissatisfied, and said with a dark face:
"What's the matter with you, Momo? Aren't you happy for me?"

Su Mo shook her head quickly, but she shed two tears: "No...no."

Seeing her crying, Xiao Beiheng raised his eyebrows and his voice became stern, and said: "You are already a queen, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Is there any woman in the world who can be the queen of a country. Can sit in this position, What else is there to be unhappy about?"

As he spoke, he stood up and approached her step by step.

Su Mo couldn't help raising her hands to protect her cheeks, fearing that the next step would be a slap in the face, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am not dissatisfied, I am just sad that the late emperor was assassinated by Xiao Zhuo and passed away."

Xiao Beiheng stopped in his tracks, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had lost all color, and murmured: "Yes, it's Xiao Zhuo, it's Xiao Zhuo."

Su Mo lowered her head, looked at the boots exposed under the dragon robe, first took two steps back, then turned around, and rushed out the door almost as if running away.

She was left in the room again, she didn't want to get up, she fell on the ground and cried silently.

As Xiao Beiheng said, she indeed sat in a position that no woman would even dare to think about, but she felt no joy or satisfaction at all, only pain and torment.If time can go back, she would rather go back to that carefree Qixi Festival, compete with everyone in Qiqiao needle competition, and sit in a hot air balloon to enjoy the scenery.

It was just an ordinary holiday night, but it was out of reach.

……

Xiao Beiheng escaped from Fengqi Palace all the way.

He read from Su Mo's tearful eyes that she knew who the real murderer of Emperor Qi Ming was.Both of them knew the truth, she didn't tell it, and neither did he.

Only then did he realize how stupid and ridiculous his actions were, so he hated Xiao Zhuo even more.

Without Xiao Zhuo, his father would not look down on him, his mother would not be troubled all day, and Su Mo would not be so afraid of him.

Now his father is gone, and his mother took him to nowhere, and his wife looked at him as if she was looking at a monster.And Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi are still alive and well, and will welcome their children next year.

Xiao Zhuo destroyed his home, Xiao Zhuo must die.

The spies had previously reported that Queen Mei Dai of Xiliang had brought 2 cavalry to support Shengjing, and King Qianglin of Xirong also had more than [-] Xirong soldiers.Shengjing now has about [-] to [-] troops, which shows that Xiao Zhuo has long been prepared.

With these troops alone, it is not enough to fight against him.He is Emperor Dayan, he can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops from various states and counties, and completely destroy the small Shengjing.

The most important thing now is to solve the problem of General Zhao Mu first.

Xiao Beiheng returned to his residence, summoned the prime minister and said, "Preach the order of the widow, and let General Pingnan go to the border gate to receive the defenders."

There are [-] guards at the border, which are Zhao Mu's trusted troops.After Zhao Mu was promoted to general, he appointed his general Wei Liang as the commander in chief of the frontier.The strength of this army should not be underestimated, it must be received first.

The prime minister said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, the border is an important place for military affairs. According to the laws of Dayan, the commander of the border must be transferred with a letter written by the general and a military talisman. Now the position of the general is vacant. If this is the case, it may be difficult to mobilize troops from various places."

Xiao Beiheng looked angry: "Could it be that the will of the widow doesn't work?"

The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the law of Dayan. General Wei Liang will not act according to his will."

Xiao Beiheng slapped the table, got up and said:
"It's simply pedantic. The widow will abolish this law. From now on, the army will be led by the widow."

The prime minister was astonished.

Since Dayan's law was enacted, it has not been changed in all dynasties. Xiao Beiheng had just been enthroned for three days, and he put the general in death row, and then abolished the law.I don't know what extravagant move he will make next.
