Chapter 22 The tragic general Jin in Long Ao Tianwen (22)
Queen Bai's death brought an end to this conspiracy.
Her brother didn't seem to react yet, but soon he looked at everyone in the Shi family nervously.
There was panic and uncertainty in his eyes.
Before Shi Xun said anything, Shi Ran smiled softly.
"Commander Bai, I have some good news that I haven't shared with you yet."
Facing Commander Bai's surprised gaze, Shi Ran picked up a whistle and blew it gently.
The whistle seemed to be very special. The sound was so penetrating that people outside the palace could hear it very clearly.
But just a few seconds after the whistle fell, fireworks burst out from all four corners of the palace.
That was obviously not the person Commander Bai arranged in advance.
"In order to achieve today's great event, my disciples have specially developed a special weapon called Thunder."
The expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly changed.
Just by hearing the name, you can guess how powerful this thing is.
"Then congratulations to Miss Shi. You have so many capable people under your command. Bai is really envious."
Commander Bai congratulated with a smile on his face.
Shi Ran smiled slightly, swung the long sword in his hand, landed on the candlestick nearby, and cut off half of the burning candle.
The burning part fell on the long sword.
"This thing, as the name suggests, is a small one, but it has the power to blast the sky. In order to be foolproof today, at this moment, the underground of the palace has been hollowed out, and it has all been filled with my people. Just one click The candle fell to the ground.”
With a cruel smile, Shi Ran tilted the edge of her sword slightly, causing the candlelight to teeter on the edge.
"Bang! Everyone will die here today."
Commander Bai's face suddenly turned pale.
His eyes were fixed on the candle above Shi Ran's sword, fearing that if Shi Ran's hand shook, the candle would fall to the ground.
"Don't worry, Commander Bai, the one who lit the fire was naturally not the candle in my hand. My people have been waiting for a long time. Listen to the whistle for sound. The first sound is a warning. If the second sound is sounded, then they will Will light a fire.”
At this moment, the first whistle has sounded.
The fireworks at the four corners of the palace were the response.
It's too late to send someone over now.
The speed of the whistle is definitely faster than human feet.
His face was blue and white for a long time. Commander Bai finally looked back at his sister's body and chose to kneel down with his head bowed.
"Tonight, the traitor Cen Jing assassinated Your Majesty, killed the prince, and even planned to massacre everyone in the palace. Thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom, he noticed something was wrong before that, and General Shi was ordered to rush back to the imperial capital secretly, so that he could quickly capture the traitor. Thief, the general has made great contributions to the country and the people. Bai, I am willing to be the general of Wu Yihou in time and look forward to it!"
His official rank is higher than that of Shi Xun.
At this moment, his kneeling represented complete surrender.
Moreover, he found a suitable reason for Shi Xun's return to the capital.
He was recalled by His Majesty's secret order, not because Shi Xun left his post without permission.
He is the Queen's biological brother, so what he says will naturally carry his weight.
Shi Ran looked back at his brother.
Shi Xun naturally understood.
"General Bai, please get up quickly. Today, I came back a step late. But Shi Mou admires the heroic act of the Empress Queen in standing in front of the emperor to save His Majesty. Please accept Shi Mou's respect, Queen Empress!"
After saying that, Shi Xun sheathed his sword and bowed respectfully to the queen's body.
Then Shi Ran also shook off the candlelight and bowed deeply to the queen.
She really expected her brother.
Sure enough, he saved his brother.
What a pity for such a smart woman.
In the end, she can only be remembered by the world as Queen Bai.
Cen Jing had completely passed out.
When the queen chose to die with the emperor, he passed out.
He didn't expect that women in ancient times were so crazy.
Don’t they have loyalty and patriotism written deep in their bones? Where did you get the courage to kill the emperor directly? !
That is not only the emperor, but also her husband!
When Cen Jing woke up again, he discovered that his limbs were tied to the stone bed with iron chains, making him unable to move at all.
There was even a special instrument of torture stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
You are not dead yet?
Cen Jing, who didn't know that he had been chosen as a rebel, was still a little shocked at the moment.
He originally thought that there was no way he could come out of Zichen Palace alive.
The guards guarding him outside noticed the movement and came in to check on him.
But no matter how Cen Jing made various hesitant sounds, the guard ignored him.
After that, Cen Jing didn't know how long he lived.
After all, you can't see the sun rising or setting here, so you don't know the passage of time.
The guards outside would come in regularly to give him some decoction.
Those decoctions were also the reason why Cen Jing was able to survive without drinking water or rice.
Cen Jing was lying on the stone bed, like a vegetative state, unable to move anything except his eyeballs.
He kept thinking, where did he go wrong?
If he hadn't wanted to cling to Wu Yihou's mansion and not have that engagement with Shi Ran, would he still be alive and well at this moment?
You may not necessarily become rich, but with the modern prescriptions Cui Zhenyi gave you, you can still become a rich man.
Choi Jin Yi.
Thinking of this name at this moment, Cen Jing still felt regretful.
This is actually the biggest opportunity he got after traveling through time.
Compared to herself, an ordinary person who knows nothing except some useless poems, Cui Zhenyi knows almost everything and is capable of everything from weapons agencies to rouge prescriptions.
Unfortunately, this biggest opportunity was ruined by me who wanted to climb up.
Not only was it ruined, but it was also completely delivered to Shi Ran's hands.
With such regret, Cen Jing lay on that stone bed day after day, almost losing all his abilities as a human being.
Until he heard the respectful voices of the guards outside.
"Greetings, the eldest princess, greetings, Mr. Cui."
Then, there was the sound of the door chain opening.
Two familiar figures appeared in Cen Jing's somewhat blurry vision.
Time.
Choi Jin Yi.
The two of them were dressed in official python robes, but Shi Ran's was bright yellow, symbolizing the royal family, while Cui Zhenyi's was azure.
Cen Jing kept making weird screams in excitement.
Shi Ran waved her hand, and the people below immediately stepped forward and untied the torture device from Cen Jing's mouth.
Cen Jing was finally able to speak.
"Are you, you, becoming an official?"
How can a woman enter the court and become an official?
When Cui Zhenyi saw Cen Jing again after a long time, she felt neither resentment nor emotion in her heart, but felt unusually calm.
When she heard Cen Jing's words, she felt even more ridiculous.
"Yes, I am the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry. And my superior is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Dayi, who is also the current Minister of Household Affairs. Cen Jing, I want to thank you. Without you, how could I be where I am today? , and there is also the grand scene of women entering the court and becoming officials today."
Cen Jing looked stunned.
How can this be?
How could His Majesty be so willing now?
