"Why did the king let me see this person? I don't know her." Zhou Xian glared at the young woman tied to a pillar in front of him. The man had been tortured to the point of being in a mess and his hair was scattered.

The cold and dark room and the indescribable odor in the air made Zhou Xian feel creepy. She didn't like the atmosphere here. Everyone's faces were very cold and depressed, without a smile, as if all the despair and darkness in the world were concentrated in this corner.

The enclosed space is very quiet, and Li Yu's voice feels hollow: "She is just a little palace maid, and of course Ehuang doesn't know him."

Zhou Xian felt that Li Yu had become a walking corpse driven by power, struggling and resisting at will in despair, becoming very strange.

"Why was she tied here? Why did the king bring me here?" Zhou Xian asked in a trembling voice.

Li Yu said: "Someone reported her to have an affair with the guards. According to the rules, she was originally a death sentence..." He took a short sword from the eunuch. The short sword was sheathless and placed it on a white handkerchief. "Ehuang, you come to send her on the way, she should have died."

Zhou Xian stared at Li Yu and shook his head vigorously, so shocked that he couldn't say a complete sentence, "No...No..."

Li Yu grabbed Zhou Xian's hand, picked up a short sword wrapped in a white handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand, then held her hand, and said, "She should have died."

This sentence is like a spell. Zhou Xian's heart was already in a mess. She could not resist Li Yu's meaning. She didn't have to worry about the principles such as imperial edicts. She instinctively thought that she could not resist him. The palace maid should have died... Zhou Xian didn't think so in his heart, just because he was accused of having an affair with the guards? What evidence did they do? No one told her about these things, so she could not agree with whether the palace maid should have died. She was even tortured by shame because she had also lost her morality. And she was very scared, afraid of this kind of killing.

In a short moment, her heart was so complicated.

Suddenly, Li Yu held her hand and stabbed the person on the pillar! Before Zhou Xian could react, he could not struggle even before he could hear a scream, and then his face became hot and blood actually sprayed her face and chest.

In an instant, the blood on Zhou Xian's face disappeared immediately, and his clear eyes also dissipated and lost their minds. She saw a ball of white mist rising from the ground, and all the strength in her body was pulled away and fell down softly.

Li Yu hurriedly supported her. She could not see anything, but she was sober in her heart. She heard Li Yu sighing "Oh" in her ear.

...Zhou Xian felt that he was dead and had returned to the previous state of not being interested in everything. But she was still not crazy. When others talked to her, she could still answer expressionlessly, and she was still very polite and decent.

Sometimes she is thinking about why people live and what is the point of interest? This question seems to be difficult.

Within two days, a young woman came to the palace. This woman was not as squeamish as an ordinary woman, with a gentle voice and a very free and easy manner.

"This is Liu Liuyao, the daughter of Liu Renzhan, a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Li Yu said.

Liu Liuyao held the ceremony and bowed with his fists: "Greetings to the Queen."

Li Yu reminded: "You can't do this in the future. Pay attention to your words and deeds and don't be seen."

After hearing this, Liu Liuyao put his fists on his waist and bent his knees and said, "I have seen the Empress." Zhou Xian looked at her and nodded slightly to show his reaction.

Li Yu said seriously: "At that time, the envoy asked Guo Blacksmith to offer sword dance. Guo Blacksmith and his minions will definitely be wary of this matter, so our greatest hope cannot be put on this matter. Liu Liuyao disguised himself as Ehuang's personal maid and handed it over to you; and Ehuang, as an insider, just need to find an opportunity for Liu Liuyao..."

Zhou Xian felt it was absurd when he heard these words. He said something absurd and so meticulously, it was ridiculous in itself, but it made people laugh. Li Yu was completely crazy! He looked normal, but in fact he was driven crazy by the pressure of nowhere to escape. It might also be that physical damage affected his character... It is really hard to reason that eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty dared to directly slaughter the court ministers in the political affairs hall and openly massacre them in the temple. Even the rebellious heroes could not do such a thing!

Zhou Xian had no choice at all. She didn't feel that she had a way to wake up Li Yu. At this critical moment of life and death, he thought he had grabbed the straw that saved his life! It was like a drowning person who desperately held the neck of the rescuer and would not let go even if he died. It was useless to persuade him to let go, and even if he died, he could not be pried apart.

"Liu Liuyao, what do you want?" Li Yu said, "I will do my best to give you what you want, just like Prince Dan is willing to give you."

Zhou Xian felt nervous again when he heard this, because she had heard of the unofficial history of Prince Dan seeing Jing Ke off, which was full of blood. Jing Ke and others went to the banquet before leaving and praised the beautiful hands of a palace maid, so Prince Dan cut off the palace maid's hand and gave it to Jing Ke... This world has been completely deformed in Zhou Xian's eyes.

Fortunately, Liu Liuyao said: "I don't need to reward you. I will hate you for the country's destruction, and the revenge you for the father's death, just take revenge!"

When Zhou Xian heard this, he probably guessed what happened to Liu Liuyao. Liu Renzhan was defeated and captured in Shouzhou, but later he lost news. He must have been killed after hearing this.

...

A few days later, Zhou Xian was hurriedly sent to the peace talks. She just obeyed silently and never thought of resisting.

Because he is dead and is already desperate, why should he resist in vain? Whether he succeeds or not, Guo Shao will not let him go. It is not easy for such a person who is a blacksmith and climbs up from a humble place. He attaches great importance to everything he gets hard and will never tolerate people who use such means to threaten him.

The civil and military officials of the Zhou court would even kill him and quickly. The Queen Mother and the loyal follower of Guo Blacksmith should not be furious?

Zhou Xian gently lifted the curtain and looked at the world outside without any hesitation. Everything was so sad and boring.

What kind of queen is just a joke, just a chess piece! What kind of country is just a stage for actors to jump up and down. From ancient times to the present, there has been no Southern Tang Kingdom, so people still want to live.

It took only an hour to walk slowly from Jiangning Prefecture to reach the Zhou army camp. A few days ago, the Zhou army set out from Caishi and approached the capital of Nantang. It had already reached the vicinity of the capital, but it had not yet been bullied to attack the city.

There was a loud Q&A outside, and Zhou Xian guessed from his words that he had arrived at the Zhou army camp.

A sonorous voice said loudly: "Only one person is allowed to enter, and the rest are not allowed to move!" Then there was no sound. The other carriages traveling with them were real singing girls. At this time, I was afraid that no one dared to say anything. The Zhou army's imperial guards have always been strict in military discipline, and Zhou Xian had seen it, and no one in the central army made noise.

Soon after, another voice said, "Men and women separated, and the singing girls' cars follow me."

The carriage restarted, and a "gurgling" sound was shaking the eardrums. Zhou Xian closed his eyes gently. She truly felt that she was falling into an abyss, and she could even faintly feel the wind blowing towards her. At this moment, she was no longer under control and the ending could not be changed... I don't know when it will be the end, and then she could hear a "bang" sound, dying with sin.

Two lines of clear tears quietly slid on her cheeks. The soreness and pain suddenly came up, and the emotions seemed to be released with the tears, collapsed, and a voice shouted in her heart: I had known that everyone was going to die, and I was not afraid of death! But I never thought of dying in such loneliness and ugliness...

The world is really like a dream. In just a few days, she became a queen and a criminal waiting for trial. Everything was so trance and empty.

Someone touched Zhou Xian's arm. Zhou Xian opened his eyes and saw Liu Liuyao, who was disguised as a maid, handed over a hand towel. Liu Liuyao said, "Is the queen afraid or sad?"

Zhou Xian took the scarf and shook his head dejectedly.

Liu Liuyao whispered: "I heard that Your Majesty has favored the Queen Mother for several years. You should be happy that you can die for him."

Zhou Xian could not explain to the woman and remained silent. Liu Liuyao's words only brought her from her self-absorbing back to reality. Since Guo Shao received the envoy, he should have seen the secret letter sent there, and he should have known that he was here.

He will definitely meet himself. It is indescribable to meet in this way.

At this moment, the carriage soon arrived at a place, and the women were invited down one after another. Zhou Xian came down and saw that he was still in the Central Army camp. In the distance, he could see a barrier made of wooden stakes. A large tent was right in front of him, and there were Zhou soldiers outside.

A general and the young man next to him whispered: "Military Guo is coming soon. Should these people search first?"

The young man said, "These are all women. We are suspicious of being frivolous and we are causing trouble. Among the people who cook outside, there are women who can call two of them to search for us. But it's too late, and Marshal Guo will arrive soon."

The general asked, "What should I do?"

The young man said: "The first team of the personal soldiers brigade has been included in the account, and I have kept a close eye on the separate lines of Marshal Guo and these women of unknown origin."

The general clasped his fists and said, "Get orders."

When Zhou Xian heard this, he thought to himself: Others are not stupid, they are so easy to assassinate. It is probably difficult for two women to deal with the most powerful generals of the Zhou army among the troops.

The "singing girls" were then driven into the tent next to them by the soldiers, and Zhou Xian and Liu Liuyao also mingled in. Several soldiers stood at the door, and the remaining twenty people wearing hard-wired sharp-stricken standing in front of the singers, staring at the movements of the women one by one. But many soldiers nearby still didn't look at the people they were facing, and quietly looked at Zhou Xian... These people pretended to be doing their business, and were afraid they were also judging which one was the most beautiful in their hearts.

At this moment, the young man at the door said anxiously: "Marrior Guo is here, stand me up!"
