Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

"It's a little girl, it's a little girl beside Madam Xi." The empress dowager gave a sigh and said dejectedly, "Who would have thought that the peerlessly talented Madam Xi would lose to a little girl in the end?"

"Little girl?" He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin were startled and looked at each other.

"It's all in the past now." The empress dowager suddenly smiled in relief and quietly spat out, "Since when have we repaid our grievances? As long as Chun'er is properly his emperor, all of you should act like you've never heard these words before." "Don't hold grudges against me, don't hold grudges against me."

"When Imperial Mother wrote to your son, what was the profound mystery behind that banyan tree that you mentioned?" He Lan Qin suddenly thought of something and asked softly.

But after a long wait, there was no reply from the Empress.

Feng Jiu, who had been standing by the side, took a step forward. He glanced at the empress dowager and announced with a solemn expression, "The empress dowager has passed away. Your Highness, please grieve."

The two of them were stunned at the same time. He Lan Xue lowered her head and realized that the empress dowager's hand that they were holding was gradually turning cold.

The buddhist hall was extremely quiet.

It was only after a very long time that He Lanxue's quiet weeping sounds rang out.

He Lan Qin kneeled and walked forward. He grabbed He Lan Xue's shoulders and tightly hugged her.

"A Xue, I won't let this go. I will definitely find out what the truth is! " He Lan Qin's voice was extremely cold.

He Lan Xue held the empress dowager's hand tightly the whole time, her head lowered as she sobbed, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Your Royal Highness, we need to leave this place as soon as possible!" Feng Jiu quietly stood there for a moment before his expression suddenly changed as he anxiously asked.

A figure quickly flashed by the door of the buddhist hall.

"Who is it!" He Lan Qin's figure exploded. Just as he was about to leap towards the figure — He Lan Qin's skill was one of the best in the Sky Dynasty. If he wanted to chase someone, there was no reason he couldn't.

However, just as He Lanqin rushed to the door, he suddenly tapped his left foot on his right foot, forcefully breaking it in mid-air. However, just as He Lanqin rushed to the door, suddenly, he tapped his left foot on his right foot, forcefully breaking it in mid-air.

He didn't know when, but the outside was already surrounded by arrow teams. The moment He Lan Qin's figure appeared, he was shot back.

He Lan Xue didn't care about her grief. She turned around in astonishment and looked at He Lan Qin in a probing manner.

"We're surrounded." "His Majesty does not intend for us to leave today."

"..." It was Feng Jiu's negligence, "Feng Jiu sighed," Of course the Chundi Emperor believed that I could save the empress dowager, and he also knew that the two princes would know the truth, so they made the first move.

"Imperial Mother told us not to resent him, but how would we know? He was the one who wanted us dead." The tears had yet to dry on Hera's face, and her expression had already regained its calm.

"Is there a way out here?" He Lan Qin was worthy of being called the commander of the three armies. Even after experiencing the painful loss of his own mother and his brother's betrayal, he was still able to be prudent in time and seek an opportunity to escape.

"I don't think so," He Lan Xue shook her head and replied. "When Imperial Mother left home, you specifically ordered someone to build this temple. With Imperial Mother's character, why would you need to fix the secret path?"

In that case, I'll have to force my way out." He Lan Qin's eyebrows emitted a wave of heroic spirit. He stood straight and said generously: "Could it be that I, as a great general, don't even care about a great army or a great army, am afraid of this group of scum!

"I'm afraid that what is outside is not a nobody, but the most elite imperial guards of the imperial court." He Lan Xue reminded lightly.

"Mobilize the imperial guards? On what basis? " He Lan Qin angrily said, "Don't tell me he can also convict me of treason?"

"He Lan Qin and He Lan Xue have kidnapped the empress dowager and are planning to rebel. Now that the empress dowager has been angered to death by her two unfilial sons, everyone is loyal to the nation, working together to suppress the rebels. Now, surround this room and don't even let out a fly! "

His tone was resolute and decisive without the slightest hesitation. It was — — Pei Ruochen's voice.

"Second brother, you're a traitor too." He Lan Xue smiled bitterly.

He Lan Qin was stunned. Then, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He Lan Chun must have feared him for a long time, but he had always believed in him because he thought that he was his blood brother. Now, He Lan Chun must also know the truth, and he could no longer trust this' Heaven Empire's Army Soul '.

"His Majesty is indeed his Majesty." He Lan Qin suddenly said with deep emotion, "He's not in a hurry to kill his mother, but rather created the appearance of his mother being gravely ill, which has drawn us both back. Actually, whether or not Mr Feng Jiu saved his mother today, he doesn't plan on letting us go."

If that wasn't the case, why would he do such a troublesome thing like using Gu worms on the empress dowager? Wouldn't creating an accident so that the empress dowager would suddenly die a peaceful death?

"Unfortunately, we found out too late." "It doesn't matter if we die, but if we leave the corpse of the empress here, I don't know if Helan Chun will bury her safely. The empress has passed away, and we can't let her rest easy. She is still in the netherworld, and she can't be at peace."

"I promised mother that I would take care of your little brother. "Don't worry." He Lan Qin raised his eyebrows and proudly said, "The person who can trap me in this world hasn't been born yet. Even if it's the imperial guards, what can they do to me?"

He Lan Xue smiled, and with a face full of calmness, she said, "Of course, I am relieved. It has been a long time since I have fought together with second brother. All these years, we have been through a lot."

Feng Jiu, who was at the side, scoffed and said faintly, "This one doesn't know any martial arts, so this one won't go out and fight for my life. If the two princes can leave alive, remember to burn some paper money at my grave during the New Year.

He Lan Xue was startled. She remembered that there was a man who was completely clueless about martial arts, Feng Jiu.

"Then what should we do?" He Lan Qin also scratched his head: They can't abandon Feng Jiu, it's just that He Lan Xue's hand is already injured. With the sword in his left hand, he might be able to protect himself, but He Lan Qin's avatar will have to take care of He Lan Xue.

"Cough cough, how about the two Princes sit with me, this dying man, for a while longer and not rush out?" As Feng Jiu spoke, he unhurriedly sat down in front of the buddhist shrine. His expression was calm, as if the cold outside didn't exist.

He Lan Qin looked outside and also smiled. "Since Mister Feng wants us to sit with you, then there's no harm in us sitting together."

After he finished speaking, He Lanqin lifted up the hem of his robe and took a seat across from Feng Jiu.

He Lan Xue sat beside the Empress Dowager's bed and gently held her hand.

"He Lan Xue, He Lan Qin, and Feng Jiu, if the three of you come out at this moment and surrender, His Majesty will be merciful and definitely spare your corpses. Otherwise, if thousands of arrows are shot at the same time and the empress dowager's corpse is injured, that would be too bad, right?"

Outside the door, Pei Ruochen's cold and detached voice sounded once more. There was no trace of emotion in her voice.

Like the most competent speaking tube.

He Lan Xue shook her head and whispered, "I heard that Ruochen has changed in the past. I more or less do not believe her. But now, it seems that she has really changed."

However, last night, in the middle of the long street, Pei Ruochen had indeed warned him that the previous night, Pei Ruochen, was still as refined and gentle as before.

"In the end, a person has to change. It doesn't matter if the body is forced or not. A Xue has actually changed a lot. She is much calmer than before." A smile of reminiscence appeared on He Lan Qin's handsome face. "In the past, you were too rash, too impulsive, and too easy to stand up for others. But now, you probably won't do it again."

"I've fallen too many times. I always know a bit of pain." He Lan Xue replied indifferently. Her expression darkened slightly as she whispered to herself, "I only hope that my beloved hasn't been wrongly entrusted."

Before leaving, he wanted Pei Ruochen to look after his wife. But now, Pei Ruochen was no longer the person he trusted the most.

They didn't speak anymore and just sat there together, each thinking about their own thoughts. They truly cast away the dangers of the outside world.

The people outside had clearly lost their patience, Pei Ruochen warned once again, seeing that there was still no movement inside, he decisively took a step back, ordered his soldiers to come forward, and then chopped down heavily with his arm, arrows whizzed by like locusts towards the buddhist hall.

The already rough Buddhist hall was no match for the continuous shooting arrows and crossbows that were used on the battlefield. The walls shook a little, and a group of people shot in through the paper windows.

He Lan Qin didn't even turn his head as he slightly waved his sleeve, collecting all the arrows in front of him into his sleeve.

He Lan Xue's right hand was powerless, so she could only use the sword in her left hand to open up the arrows in front of her.

Feng Jiu was still sitting at his original position, leisurely watching He Lan Qin's archery performance with interest. His expression was as if he was watching an entertainer on the street. He only needed to clap his hands and shout, "Okay."

He Lan Qin naturally saw Feng Jiu's expression and faintly smiled. He immediately developed a favorable impression of this Feng Jiu who had been famous for a long time, but was the first person he had met.

Pei Ruochen was afraid of He Lan Qin's martial arts and prestige, so she did not dare to really rush in. He Lan Qin's prestige in the Sky Dynasty was too high, if the imperial guards saw his real self, they would not be able to make a comeback.

"For rockets!" After pondering for a moment, Pei Ruochen retracted her gaze and decisively gave an order.

Everyone obeyed.

A moment later, the arrows were all pricked with cotton soaked in kerosene, lit, and aimed at the small, isolated temple in one corner of the palace.

A fire, and then it's over.

Pei Ruochen raised her head and looked at the sky, and then took one last look at the buddhist hall: the low houses were out of place in this majestic palace.

He slowly raised his arm, paused, and then swung it down heavily.

Countless flames shot towards the buddhist hall like shooting stars.

He Lan Xue carried the empress dowager's corpse in her arms and leaned sideways to avoid a rocket that was shooting directly at the bed.

The bedding was soft and soon lit.

Not only that, the door, beams, windows, and even the chair Feng Jiu had just sat on also began to crackle under the enveloping flames.

He Lan Qin was truly worthy of being called the number one expert of the Heavenly Court. Even in this situation, he was still able to respond with ease and protect a corner of the buddhist hall, as well as Feng Jiu.

He Lan Xue also retreated to the corner and placed the empress dowager against the wall.

"This place can't be defended. We have to charge out." He Lan Qin said solemnly, "At that time, I'll protect mister Feng. A Xue, after you take missus out, you must immediately escape. "They dare not harm the empress dowager's body."
