Wang Zirou would naturally sleep next to Qingluo, no matter how Mrs. Wang tried to persuade him, "Are you sleeping honestly? If you meet Qingluo again, Qingluo is still injured."
"It's okay, mother. I will be careful. I will absolutely not run into Qingluo. You must trust me, Qingluo." Qingluo quickly nodded her head to show that she believed in her, but her head started to move, causing her to feel excruciating pain. In the end, she could only express it with words.
"Zi Rou, you're really something. You actually did such a great thing without making any noise. You should know that we were forced to stay behind in the palace because we didn't know that something like this would happen."
"But you clearly know that such a thing has happened, yet you still barged in. Truly extraordinary. You are the true hero. I am truly proud of you."
Wang Zirou, who was completely flattered by Qingluo, had only to reach his hand under Qingluo's blanket and hold her hand. "You are the real hero, facing the group led by the Queen, you actually dared to make such a promise to the Seventh Prince."
"That is something that can cost one's life in an instant. You are the one who is truly amazing. Furthermore, in such a crucial moment, you are able to think of a countermeasure and take action. I am truly impressed."
Wang Zirou's and Qingluo's hands were held together, it was warm, and they had a slight connection to each other.
"Qingluo, tell me, will we get out safely?" Wang Zirou thought about how she had already been locked up for so long, but there was actually no news at all from the outside. Although she said it in a righteous manner, she was actually a little worried in her heart.
"You have to be confident, Zi Rou. Until the very last moment, no one can say for sure that this is the result of your talent. But if you are confident, then the chances of winning will be higher."
"We must have faith in the men outside, and in ourselves, because we are the side of justice, and justice always overcomes evil."
Qingluo's words were meant to comfort ZiRou, but when the Madame Jiang on the other side of Qingluo heard it, she gave Qingluo a confirmation, "Qingluo is right, we can't be distracted now."
"We have to be firm, we have to believe that we will win. Even if we are stabbed in the neck, we have to be sure that we will win."
"Because, if they were to reach that moment, they would definitely be forced to the point of no return. Although we might lose because of this, there is no doubt about it."
Madame Jiang did not expect her words to be fulfilled so quickly. At this moment, a day later, the Empress barged in with her people.
When the emperor's personal guards at the main hall entrance saw that the empress had brought too many people with her, they had no choice but to enter the hall and stand in front of the inner hall. The empress dowager quickly had all the empress dowager and Wang Zirou enter as well.
The emperor's personal guards only numbered nineteen. When he first tried to stop the empress, he broke two more, but now there were only seventeen people left. Fortunately, the door to the inner chamber was slightly smaller, allowing them to attack and defend themselves.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Only now did the wives realize that the emperor had been staying in the inner chamber all this time.
"Let's all rise, now is not the time to be particular about other things. Let's just see how long we can persevere, I hope we can persevere until Qing Wen enters."
The Emperor could only prepare for the worst. After all, it wasn't easy for the Empress to bring several hundred people to the Charity Hall.
"Your Majesty, do you still wish to put up a resistance? But now, you have been surrounded by the several hundred people that Chenqie brought along. You have been starving for three days, so even if you want to resist, you probably don't have any strength left, right? "
The empress's sharp, high-pitched voice was heard clearly in the inner room.
"Then you can give it a try! "Let's see if This Emperor is so weak that he can't withstand a single blow." The emperor's voice was full of vigor, so it must've been very clear to everyone who heard it.
"Aunt, you've hit the mark. We really have nowhere else to go, so you've come to test us." Qing Luo had been dragged in by a few palace maids.
Now that she was lying on the soft bed, her head didn't hurt so much anymore, and her body didn't hurt so much either. However, because of her injuries, she was hungry for three days, so she really didn't have any strength left.
"What do you mean by testing us?" Hearing Qingluo's words, the Emperor leisurely asked, "Anyway, there's nothing going on right now, so I might as well just treat it as boredom."
"Oh, my aunt said that if we had been stabbed in the neck, we would be sure that we had won, because if they had come to this point, they would have been driven to a dead end, even though we might have died because of it."
"Then are you afraid of death?" The emperor immediately asked, "Afraid!" Wang Zirou answered without hesitation, "Who isn't afraid of death, it's just that sometimes fear cannot solve problems."
"I'm afraid we have to persevere. Qingluo is right, we have to have confidence in ourselves, because we are the side of justice, and justice is always overwhelming evil, we will definitely win, even if victory is at the expense of us …"
Wang Zirou looked around at the people around him, and saw everyone's serious but determined look, "... We will turn our backs on them! "
"Good, good, good!" The Emperor said three good words and even gave him a thumbs up, emphasizing his praise, "You are indeed the good children of my Taishang."
"Taishang has all of you unyielding women, what need is there to not prosper? On behalf of the people of Taishang, I thank you all, and also on behalf of the ministers and officials of Taishang, I am proud of you!"
Seeing the Emperor praise him so earnestly, Wang Zirou's previous imposing manner disappeared. She hid behind her mother in embarrassment, making the Emperor laugh.
"However, since you said that we are afraid of death, we must think of a way to live on. Not to mention anything else, even if it is for your family, I still hope that you can live on well. With your lives, you can talk about the future, and I hope that you can keep me company until the very last moment."
The empress dowager first stood behind the emperor, and then everyone gathered around the emperor. The imperial guards stood in front of the emperor to protect him.
Wang Zirou also wanted to stand by the emperor's side to show that she was going to fight alongside him until the very last moment, but when she saw that Qingluo was lying beside her, she chose to stand by Qingluo's side instead.
Qing Luo looked at Wang Zirou, her heart filled with warmth. This little girl looked ignorant, innocent, and fearless. She was actually the most meticulous, the most brave, and the most considerate.
"Zi Rou, you really don't have to worry. If there's any problem, we'll definitely be safe." Qing Luo took one of Zi Rou's hands and held it tightly in his own.
"Yes, we will definitely be safe!" Wang Zirou bent her body and looked at Qing Luo with a determined gaze, making her unsure of whether she was comforting her or him.
"What are you all hesitating for? Are you all waiting for reinforcements? I have arranged two thousand people in and out of the Tzu Ning Palace. You all will not be able to escape even if you have wings, so don't think about having people rush in to save you all. Right now, standing with us is your best choice. "
The sudden threat from the empress outside broke a room's excitement, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing a thousand ripples.
"Since ancient times, evil has never been righteous. If usurping power can lead to any good ending, I want to see who can live longer." The already eloquent Lady began to fight back.
After counterattacking, he muttered to himself, "We can't let them talk happily at the same time. It would be so lonely, so we have to join in on the fun." These words caused the entire room to burst out in laughter, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
"That's right, that's right. Our Dahang is flourishing right now. How can we allow such a despicable person to cause trouble? With such a peaceful and prosperous world, even if there are two or three pests, they are still nothing to fear."
One of them opened his mouth to retaliate, while the others didn't want to be outdone. They immediately started to denounce him one after another.
"That's right. Our old master once said that even if you're dreaming, you have to do it well. Don't just focus on your sweet dreams and smile when you wake up, you're empty-handed."
The people in the inner chamber were greatly comforted, but the empress in the hall felt her heart ache and her lungs ache when she heard this.
"Good, since ancient times, it's always the wise who know when to stand up, but you guys just can't see the pros and cons of this matter. Since you've refused a toast, then you'll have to eat a forfeit."
The empress waved her hand, and the first wave of attacks began. "I only thought we could settle this by negotiation. Since that's not possible, let's see what's really going on under my fist."
The queen immediately retreated behind the soldiers, and the soldiers in front rushed over. Just as the emperor's personal guards were about to rush up to confront the enemy, they heard Qingluo yell, "Don't rush out, just guard the door and don't act bravely!"
Her shout reminded everyone that if they rushed outside, even if they fought one versus ten warriors, they would only be throwing their lives away. If they could hold onto the door, it would be a good idea and no matter how many soldiers there were, they wouldn't be able to charge in.
"Yes, yes, Qingluo is right. If we want to hold on longer, we have to rely on this door. Warriors, can you guys hold on?"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. This subordinate will definitely defend this door for the Taishang. There will be someone at the door."
"Fine, I will resist the enemy together with everyone. I will not retreat even half a step." As the emperor spoke, he stood behind his personal guards. The empress dowager anxiously stretched out her hand to tug at him. "This isn't the time to be trying to be brave. Qingluo has already said that we can't be brave enough."
"Muhou, I am not courting death. I am fighting with the warriors." The Emperor patted the Empress's hand, pulled her away, and turned back to his personal guards.
