Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 79

"Your Majesty, what should we do if the Empress Dowager is not cheated back? If so, then what we have done at this time is useless, and once she returns safely, we will definitely counterattack. At that time..."

"She will definitely come back, and she will definitely die on the way." Sitting on the highest floor of the Lasting Sui Pavilion, Xiao Huaixu said with a pale face looking at the unknown distance.

No one knew Liu Qingtang better than him. She was always stubborn and self-centered. She always felt that whatever she did was right, she would never look back even if she was wrong.

If it was a man, it might not be a big deal, but she is a woman, and she happens to be the Queen Mother who has powerful relatives behind her, so she is doomed to be tough and easy to break.These years, although Xiao Huaixu could never guess why she hated him more and more, he still knew that she hadn't changed.

Whether it's her extreme concern for relatives and friends, or her extraordinary desire to control certain things, she has never changed, and her performance has become more obvious and tense in the past few years.And as long as she grasps these two points, she will definitely come back.

Even if she is extremely smart, even if she has all the tricks, no one in this world will always be smart enough to predict everything, and no one will be calm enough to never make mistakes.With her extraordinary care for Liu's father and brother, Yang Sushu and Wei Zheng, after hearing his fabricated situation in Yujing and seeing Liu Qingrong's letter not to come back, she would definitely be shaken and want to come back.

That group of people was indeed from the army, and their temperament was very similar to that of the Liu Family Army. In addition, the Liu Family Army's cards obtained from the Liu Family Army's nephew, and the letter written by Liu Qingrong, which was fake enough to be authentic, were enough to set up a rough game.No matter how rough and unbearable to scrutinize, this kind of time is enough, Xiao Huaixu is very sure that Liu Qingtang will come back regardless.

Moreover, at this time, she will not listen to anyone's obstruction. As long as the Liu family's personal guard speaks out to stop her, Liu Qingtang will be more determined to return to Yujing.

No one could object to the decision she made, no matter if it was Liu Guogong back then or... the current Qin Shu.Xiao Huaixu knew this very well.

Maybe Liu Qingtang could feel something was wrong, but so what, she would still rush back, just because the most important thing in her heart was never herself, but her relatives and friends.

Even if it might be a trap, she will rush back to confirm their safety as soon as possible. If she doesn't see it with her own eyes, she will never feel at ease.This is Liu Qingtang, a woman who values ​​love and righteousness so much that she shouldn't appear in places like the harem and court.

Why was he attracted to this person in the first place?It's not because of her specialness that she has something that people like them, especially himself, don't have.It seems that no matter what happens, there will still be the most precious feelings in my heart. I will not hurt my important people for the sake of so-called power and necessity, but stubbornly guard my bottom line. This person seems to never know why compromise thing.So she won't lose herself like he did.

Countless times when Xiao Huaixu looked at Liu Qingtang when he was a child, he would always think of his father.Standing in a high position, he also had to do a lot, but he compromised, because those trumped-up charges and jealousy hurt his lover.Xiao Huaixu would often think that if it was Liu Qingtang, she would definitely not be like this.He wanted to be someone like Liu Qingtang, but in the end he became like the father he hated the most, which is really ridiculous.

Xiao Huaixu was sure that there was another reason why Liu Qingtang would come back. At this time, she definitely felt that he would not kill her, so she would definitely come back without fear, thinking that no matter what the conspiracy was, when she came back, she would definitely be able to stabilize the situation.

It's a pity that she made a mistake this time. He couldn't wait and didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to kill her.Regardless of the country and the consequences, he just wants to kill her now.

Liu Qingtang will come back and die on the way, waiting for him in hell.Xiao Huaixu said to himself again, feeling a little strangely happy in his heart, a gentle smile appeared on his increasingly gloomy face these days.

Wang Shoufu, who was on the side, was always uneasy because of his insistence on planning to kill Liu Qingtang. Seeing his expression now, he frowned even more. After the news of his death reaches Yu Jing, what should the emperor do? This minister should make preparations in advance."

"I've said it a long time ago, and I'll know when the time comes, Wang Shoufu, are you questioning me?" Xiao Huaixu's tone was indifferent, and there was no expression on his extremely pale face. After speaking, he saw Wang Shoufu knelt down, and waved his hands boredly. : "Go down and report back when the news arrives."

"...Yes." Wang Shoufu opened his mouth, finally sighed, got up from the ground and backed out.After leaving the door, Wang Shoufu no longer concealed the worried look on his brows. He looked back at the door, and he sighed again.

He has always thought about suppressing his relatives, supporting the young current emperor for the former emperor, and letting him sit firmly in the court, just for the sake of orthodoxy.As a literati who is familiar with the books of sages, how could he just watch the Queen Mother's generation of women dominate the government.

Although sometimes Wang Shoufu has to admit that if the queen mother is a man, she will definitely be a generation of Mingjun, but she was born as a woman, and she is not a member of the royal family. Such a name is not right, how can she convince thousands of literati in the world!He always thought that what he did was right, but now, he suddenly doubted whether it was right for him to defend orthodoxy in this way.

From a few years ago, he felt that although the emperor was young, he was a talented person. With time, with his assistance, he would definitely become a qualified emperor.Later, he accidentally discovered the emperor's unethical feelings for the empress dowager. At that time, he just felt more firmly that the empress dowager must be harassing Chao Gang, and she must be eradicated together with the Liu family in the future.

But it wasn't until recently that Wang Shoufu realized that he didn't seem to really see clearly the emperor he was determined to assist.The indifference he showed these days to the people in the court made Wang Shoufu startled. Can an emperor who doesn't care about the dawn of the world and the government become a good emperor in his mind? Is Xiao Huaixu really the person he wants to protect?
He had only now seen clearly the desolation and madness in the emperor's bones, but it was too late, no one had retreated until now, all he wanted now was that after Liu Qingtang's death, the emperor could return to the original emperor who was smart and knew how to hide.However, Wang Shoufu suddenly remembered that the doctor had asserted that the emperor would not live for three years, and when his steps suddenly stopped, the daze on his face could no longer disappear.It seemed that no matter what he did, it was wrong. Could it be that he was really wrong?
The old man with a somewhat stooped figure asked himself this way, am I wrong?

That's right, it is right to maintain orthodoxy, and letting a woman dictate in the court will bring the entire Southern Dynasty to its end faster.But the emperor was only bewildered by Liu Qingtang at the moment. When she died, the emperor would turn his attention back to the court, and then take good care of his body, and everything would pass smoothly.He finally convinced himself, straightened his back and walked out of the palace step by step.

Xiao Huaixu, who was condescendingly looking down on the entire palace from the Pavilion of Ending Sui, suddenly sneered when he saw the loyal Wang Shoufu walking away.

How to explain when the news of Liu Qingtang's death came?He didn't think about this kind of thing at all. It would be best if this incident would cause the entire Southern Dynasty to be in turmoil, and then perish or become chaotic.

He has never had this idea of ​​being a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people. What he hates the most is the Southern Dynasty and the tens of thousands of people.These mediocre ants who don't know anything and can't resist are so hateful.What virtue and ability do they have, to let the people he cares about, one by one for them, and not see other people's other things.

It's best to destroy what you don't like.He was waiting here for the news of Liu Qingtang's death, and then he waited to see the beacon fire ignited in this city, breaking the current unsightly calm, and it would definitely be very enjoyable when the time came.Why do you need to suppress yourself, it's not good to be like this now, what he can't get, after all, others can't get it either.

At this time, Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu were in a panic and hid among the rocks.

At that time, they were under the protection of the remaining few guards, and were soon cornered by the so-called personal guards of the Liu family.Seeing that they killed the guards and were about to attack them, Qin Shu decisively rolled down the steep rock on the side of the mountain road with Liu Qingtang in his arms under the cover of the guards.

There are cliffs on one side of this mountain road. Although there is a slope, there are sharp stones all over it, and they are very high. Those people didn't expect Qin Shu to roll down with Liu Qingtang in his arms without even thinking about it.

After all, they still cherish their lives. No one dares to die like Qin Shu. They can only find a way to go down and chase them. In this way, Qin Shu and Liu Qingtang rolled all the way to the foot of the mountain, and those people were still looking for a way. They gave Qin Shu and the others time to catch their breath and escape.

It's just that the situation of Qin Shu and the others is also very bad. Liu Qingtang is fine, and was protected by Qin Shu firmly, basically not injured.Qin Shu was different. He gritted his teeth and used his body to cover anything he couldn't avoid when he rolled down the road, just to save Liu Qingtang from suffering. When he rolled to the foot of the mountain, his arms were crushed by sharp stones. The blood flowed from the stroke, and what was worse, in order to avoid a protruding boulder on the way down, he used his foot to slow down. In that case, his right foot seemed to be broken, and he felt heartbroken when he moved it. the pain.

There was also the back, which was poked by sharp stones. Even if Qin Shu couldn't see it, he could feel the multiple injuries he had suffered through the pain from all over his body.Not only was he dizzy, but he also felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Rolling down from there, it's lucky not to die, not to mention that during the fall, Qin Shu used himself as Liu Qingtang's meat pad, and blocked her from several dangerous situations, how could the injury not be serious.

Ordinary people would not be able to move after such a serious injury, but Qin Shu sat up with an obsession, and immediately looked at Liu Qingtang to check whether she was injured.Fortunately, she seemed to be in much better condition than him. At least she could leave. Even if there was anything, she would have an extra chance to survive. Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief almost immediately.

Liu Qingtang's back, legs and feet were also scratched by sharp stones, but when she heard Qin Shu's question, she just shook her head and said she was fine, and got up to check Qin Shu's injury.

How could she not know how much Qin Shu had blocked for her to protect her, listening to the crashing sounds in his arms, and Qin Shu's uncontrollable moaning, she was so anxious that she was going crazy.

Qin Shu reached out his hand to stop her movement, glanced at those who had already begun to climb down the rock, and quickly said: "Qingtang, you run to the woods to hide, if you can delay it for a while, it will be a while."

Liu Qingtang was startled, and leaned over to help him without saying a word, "You're wrong, we hid in the woods together."

At this moment, Qin Shu knew that his situation was really bad, and he wanted to delay her for a while or not drag her down, but seeing her resolute expression, he knew that she would not let him here alone, and his heart was full of helplessness and tenderness at the moment. Knot.

No longer wasting precious time unnecessary arguing over such things, Qin Shu gritted his teeth, endured the pain all over his body, stood up desperately, and staggered into the woods with Liu Qingtang's support.
