Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 81

"Qin Shu, can you still stand up?" Liu Qingtang was overjoyed when she saw Qin Shu woke up, then her expression froze suddenly, and it took a long time before she forced a smile again and asked.Because she suddenly thought, Qin Shu suddenly became energetic like this, isn't it, is it just... a flashback?
When he saw Qin Shu standing up with the support of the tree, he said again: "Qingtang, hurry up, we are going back to the pile of rocks." Liu Qingtang laughed as if crying.Just now Qin Shu couldn't even move, but now he has the strength to stand up. In this way, he either gets better or gets better.But for the better, how is it possible in this situation.Liu Qingtang silently supported Qin Shu to go out, her eyes glanced at the clothes behind him, where there was already a trace of blood, which was still bleeding, dripping on the ground bit by bit.

Qin Shu also noticed the conspicuous blood stains on the ground. He looked back at the forest and then at the pile of rocks, and finally stopped and called out, "Qingtang."

Liu Qingtang knew what he wanted to say, if he was with her again like this, the conspicuous and thick blood would reveal their positions, so he wanted her to leave him.

"Let go of me, Qingtang."

Liu Qingtang replied decisively: "Impossible." After speaking, she held Qin Shu's arm and tried to drag him away, but Qin Shu refused to leave.He looked at Liu Qingtang seriously, his eyes were very bright, as if burning the last of his life. "Listen to me, I will go to the foot of the mountain and hide later by myself, so as to delay the investigation of those people. You and I will go to the opposite place, go farther and hide, and wait for the rescue."

"You can't die here, you still have a lot of things to do, don't you? Qingtang has always been strong, leaving many men behind, and now she will definitely make it to the end. I will wait for you to come to me in a hundred years."

Seeing Liu Qingtang lowered his head and didn't answer, Qin Shu was a little anxious. Those people would definitely realize something was wrong and go back the same way. After being seen, Qingtang really couldn't escape at that time.

Qin Shu was still about to say something, when he suddenly saw Liu Qingtang looking up into his eyes, and asked word by word: "Why?" Why should she be strong, why is she Liu Qingtang, they thought she would not be afraid Not uncomfortable?

She has been brave all her life, and has come back to life after death, and she is still brave now, but at this moment she doesn't want to be that Liu Qingtang who has to suffer all the pain by herself, she wants to be more selfish.It's fine to die here, she doesn't want to live alone, and then spend every day in endless thoughts like her father, that would be too uncomfortable.

After Liu Qingtang had Qin Shu, she was no longer the same Liu Qingtang as before.

"Qingtang, you are obedient, will you listen to me this time?" Qin Shu staggered a bit, and begged her while holding her shoulder.

Liu Qingtang hugged him slowly, and didn't move a single step at all, just buried herself in his arms, just like how he was protecting her when she rolled down. "No, I never listen to other people's words. It's not like you don't know, Qin Shu."

It was originally a gift from God that gave her so many years of good memories and taught her how to love someone.Up to now, being able to die with Qin Shu can be regarded as fulfilling their wish, fulfilling what they said on the day they married, "I want to die on the same day, same month, same year".

Fortunately, she had almost cut off Xiao Huaixu's wings, and when she died, Xiao Huaixu's last bargaining chip and threat in front of the Liu family disappeared, and he would no longer be able to contain the Liu family.Today's Liu family is different from the past, and her elder brother, she helped him to rise up in the court, this time, her elder brother will definitely protect her father and Su Shu on her behalf, that's enough.It doesn't matter if she's there or not.

In the carriage before coming here, she also said that these matters should be resolved earlier and that she would retire with Qin Shu, and now this agreement can be regarded as fulfilled ahead of schedule.

"Qingtang, Qingtang." Qin Shu muttered a few words, as if he suddenly lost all his strength and sat down.Liu Qingtang helped him to sit on the spot, with a calm expression and even a detached smile, holding his hand and kissing the corner of his mouth, and then softly said: "We die together, I am your wife, always I want to be with you."

Faint voices could be heard in the woods, and those people seemed to be about to go back.Listening to the voice, Qin Shu looked at the calm expression on Liu Qingtang's face who was close at hand, and couldn't help revealing a sad and gentle expression.He hated why he couldn't save his lover, and couldn't restrain the joy in his heart because of her decision to act. After all, Qin Shu sighed and stopped trying to persuade Liu Qingtang, and turned to look at his lover with nostalgia.

Liu Qingtang kissed Qin Shu's eyes, because just now, she saw Qin Shu showing the eyes that he showed when he died in the previous life.At that time, she didn't quite understand it, she just thought it was really complicated and difficult to understand, but now it seems that it is actually very simple, the meaning of this kind of look is nothing more than "I love you".

The sudden neighing of a steed made the two people who were holding each other quietly stunned at the same time, and then looked up at the high cliff where they rolled down.The indistinct figure above made Liu Qingtang feel a little familiar, and then blurted out a name in surprise: "Xi Lan?" How could her future sister-in-law suddenly appear at this time?
Before Liu Qingtang could think about it, there was also the neighing of a horse and Tao Ye's cry from the other side of the high cliff.

However, at this moment, from the woods behind Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu, those who claimed to be the personal guards of the Liu family also came out.

Seeing that Xi Lan and the others on the high cliff had already seen Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu, they were about to come down, and the group of people here were almost in front of them.Qin Shu held Liu Qingtang's hand anxiously, "Run, Qingtang!"

"Hush." ​​Liu Qingtang tapped his lips with one hand, preventing him from wasting any more energy.In the current situation, their reinforcements have arrived, and they have a five-point chance of being rescued or rescued.That being the case, all she has to do now, apart from delaying the time a little, is to protect Qin Shu so that his injuries don't get worse, so maybe he can still be saved.

Liu Qingtang calmed down in an instant, stood in front of Qin Shu calmly, faced the group of people running over and raised her voice, "Do you know that your master sent you to die? Whether I die or not, you All of my masters will definitely be angered by the Liu family, and they will die, even if you can really kill me, you will still die. It is not because they want to kill me, but because of the anger of the Liu family."

"If I were you, I would run away right now, and Yu Jing would immediately become chaotic, and by then it would be too late for you to try to run away."

The imminent man hesitated a little when he heard the words, and slowed down. Obviously, he had thought about this question before.The people behind him were even more hesitant. They were not stupid, and probably guessed their fate. Who wants to die? People will become more considerate of themselves when they are at such a critical moment.

So two people looked at Xi Lan's group who were getting closer, and saw that their leaders were hesitating, so they turned their heads and ran into the woods impatiently.

This suddenly seemed to be a signal, and some people turned around and ran away.At this moment, the man in the lead suddenly realized the consequences of his hesitation just now, but it was too late at this time, and those who followed him had already run away several times.

The leading man's expression changed a few times, but he still took a step in Liu Qingtang's direction.Liu Qingtang's heart jumped twice quickly, but her face was still calm and calm, and when the man took the first step, she said again: "If you still insist on killing me now, when you finish killing me, you There is no time to escape, are you sure you want to use your life to do things for your master? You must know that your master is already in danger."

"Life is gone, but nothing is gone."

The man's face was ugly. Hearing the shouts of Xi Lan's group, he turned around and fled into the woods without hesitation.

As soon as Liu Qingtang let go of her breath, she heard the sound of Qin Shu falling to the ground behind her.After a while, the ground under him was already dyed red, and the eyes that were looking at her with reluctance just now quietly closed.

Liu Qingtang didn't remember how she got back to the palace, all she knew was that she held Qin Shu in her arms and refused to let go, and she called his name countless times but no one answered, and finally she burst into tears.

He rushed back to the palace as fast as he could, and Liu Qingtang called the entire imperial hospital. Seeing Qin Shu, whose blood was covered in blood, the imperial doctors felt a little helpless. Two of them saw the empress dowager. Also covered in blood, she couldn't help but asked, "The Empress Dowager also needs medical treatment..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Qingtang's hoarse voice, "Enough, I'll let you do your best to save Qin Shu. Don't waste any more time, go save him!"

All the imperial doctors were frightened by the empress dowager. I am afraid that no one has ever seen the dignified and proud empress dowager look so embarrassed, vicious and anxious.Thinking of who the empress dowager lost her composure for, all the imperial physicians were so frightened by their own guesses that they lowered their heads and checked Qin Shu's injuries without further words.

However, one by one, they all came out with embarrassed faces, and knelt down without saying anything.How could Liu Qingtang not know what they meant, and sat down on the stool, looking at Qin Shu whose wound was bandaged by several imperial physicians, his eyes were confused.

"Go and let Wei Zheng enter the palace, lead troops to surround the palace, and not allow anyone to leave the palace."

"The emperor is weak and needs to stay in Chang'an Palace to recuperate, and he will never have to go to court again."

"The decree of mourning the family, Wang Shoufu intends to rebel, assassinate the current empress dowager, and copy and behead all the families."

After Liu Qingtang was silent for a while, she suddenly said expressionlessly.The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone involuntarily lowered their heads and did not dare to vent their breath.

Qin Shu was lying there with his wound bandaged, his eyes closed and he did not wake up. The imperial doctor said that he might die at any time.Maybe in the next moment, his weak, almost non-existent breathing will completely disappear, and then this person will leave completely.Liu Qingtang was sitting by the bed, her blood-stained clothes hadn't been changed, and her wounds hadn't been bandaged, and she was very embarrassed.

Tao Ye couldn't bear to turn her head away from the side, her eyes were a little watery, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her clothes, and stepped forward with a choked voice, "Master, you should bandage the wound and change your clothes first."

"Zuiyi, did you hear that? They said that Qin Shu was going to die, maybe in the next moment. If I walk away now, and when I come back, I find that he died quietly when I didn't see him, what should I do?" Liu Qingtang didn't cry, but she looked even sadder than crying.

There was a sound of hasty footsteps, and Liu Qingrong strode in, ignoring the rules of the harem at this time.Because of Liu Qingtang's two decrees just now, the outside world was in chaos. After receiving the decree, Wang Shoufu shouted that his relative, the Empress Dowager Liu, would destroy the Southern Dynasty, and then slammed his head on the desk and died. Many people saw it with their own eyes. , Then rumors spread that in ancient times, the beloved concubine Yan had perished, and now Empress Dowager Liu has destroyed the dynasty.

Some of the civil servants he hadn't taken over completely knelt outside the palace gate when they heard the news and the fact that the emperor was under house arrest in a disguised form.

There are also many pedantic people who point out the fact that Liu Qingtang killed Xiao Nan and the prince a few years ago, saying that she coerced the emperor to intervene in politics in order to change the country's surname from Xiao to Liu, and condemned her for being a mere woman who wanted to claim the emperor and disturbed the imperial court. The common people are outraged.

Liu Qingrong was in a state of desperation and ordered many things, first to temporarily stabilize the officials in the court, and to prevent the states and counties from becoming chaotic because of this incident.Many Liu family troops were dispatched to arrest those literati who spread rumors, and then they entered the palace.Before entering the palace, he originally planned to persuade his sister to put the overall situation first and not be impulsive, but at this moment, seeing her heart ashamed, Liu Qingrong suddenly realized that he couldn't say anything.

"Qingtang, Qin Shuhe..."

Liu Qingtang turned her head and saw her brother's face full of worry and concern, his eyes were still blank, and he only murmured, "Brother, Qin Shu is going to die. If he dies, what should I do?"

"It's all my fault. I was too self-righteous. I thought I could count everything and nothing would happen. I was the one who hurt him."

"I know I'm wrong, brother, but he's going to die."

"What should I do? He promised me that he wouldn't die before me, so how could he speak without counting?"

"Why is he still awake? Doesn't he want to see me again?"

Liu Qingtang spoke incoherently, held Qin Shu's hand, and buried her face in his palm, finally couldn't help tears welling up in her eyes, and even cried out loud.
