LRAB Chapter 444 I’m still late
Chapter 444 I’m still late
Above the ruins, as the evil spirit was sucked away, countless golden spots of light jumped out from the cracks and flew into the air.
This time, everyone could see it.
The crowd cried out in surprise.
Clusters of light hung in the air, as if leaping for joy, and then they flew towards Zhao Ying together. The dazzling and warm light enveloped Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue, making them particularly conspicuous in the dim rain.
Zhao Ying stretched out her hand in disbelief, and the light spots spread over it, dancing lively and playfully on her shiny fingertips.
Shangguan Qingyue chuckled, "Mom, they are thanking you!"
Zhao Ying stared at Shangguan Qingyue, her nose feeling a little sour. What had she actually done for these innocent and kind people? These were what she should have done.
Zhao Ying said, "You should thank my daughter. It was she who absorbed the evil spirit that trapped you. If you want to thank someone, then give all the blessings and gratitude to my Yue'er..."
Shangguan Qingyue was startled, [How did mother know? ]
Then the little guy frowned, [How could my mother love me so much! Wow...]
She hummed twice, then buried herself in Zhao Ying's arms and sobbed.
Zhao Ying's eyes were gentle as she stroked her little head. "My Yue'er is the cutest and kindest baby in the world. It's just that no one noticed Yue'er's goodness in the past. That won't happen in the future because mother is here."
Mother will use her life to protect Yue'er's safety and happiness.
Zhao Ying added in her heart.
Shangguan Qingyue sniffed, "Then... Isn't Yue'er Zhui Chongming's treasure?"
Zhao Ying laughed. She had forgotten what Yue'er cared about the most.
Zhao Ying said seriously, "Yue'er is the one who fell into Chongming."
Shangguan Qingyue was satisfied and burst into laughter.
Zhao Ying gave the order to dig up the ruins and take out all the bodies underneath for burial.
As the order was given, the light spot left Zhao Ying and flew in one direction. Zhao Ying knew where they were going.
Liang Su looked at the direction where the light flew, and after a while, he raised his arm and wiped his eyes.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said fiercely, "I'm not crying, it's the rain!"
Everyone sees everything but doesn't say it out loud. In this situation, even the coldest heart can't help but feel melancholy and moved. This is the redemption and rebirth of this city!
After suffering for a long time, they were finally freed.
Moreover, they still have hope for the future, and they must hold up their hope now!
As it got darker, Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue did not stay any longer and walked towards the inn together.
Before leaving, Zhao Ying ordered Liang Su to lift the blockade of Dali.
This means that the news of the massacre will spread like wildfire.
How will my father deal with her?
No matter what, Zhao Ying felt that she would never be able to become the emperor.
The moment she ordered the massacre of the city, the word cruel and inhumane had already been attached to her. Zhao Xi was right when he said that the civil and military officials in the court would not care who lived on that land or what happened there, they only cared about the ownership of the territory.
To them, it doesn’t matter whether the people living in Dali are indigenous people or invaders.
How would they criticize her?
She violated the biggest taboo of all the ministers, as she was cruel and murderous and was a woman.
How can a woman not be obedient and gentle, taking care of her husband and children at home and regard her husband as her God? How can she be a hen crowing at dawn with so much blood on her hands?
She can massacre the whole city today, so won’t she kill them all tomorrow?
They must not let a woman rule over them!
She was disheartened but also had some expectations. A life without controversy would be mediocre and boring. She wanted to see the faces of these roadblocks!
In the rain, far away, two people were standing at the entrance of the inn, one tall and one short, wearing straw raincoats, waiting under the eaves. Zhao Ying could not see them clearly, but his heart was beating wildly.
She was too familiar with that figure, outline, and temperament.
She had been moved countless times... He carried the throbbing and love of her girlhood, and she had to admit that even when she hated him the most, it was not that she didn't love him, but that her heart was dead.
If she can't love him, she will kill her heart.
Her person cannot be controlled by her heart at will.
Sure enough, the little guy in his arms suddenly screamed and pointed at the person at the door, "Daddy! It's Daddy!"
"Mother, Father is here to see us!"
The little girl's eyes lit up with excitement, and she jumped forward like a lively fish. Zhao Ying hugged her, suppressed the excitement in her heart, asked the guards and Nanny Li to stop, and she walked over slowly with Shangguan Qingyue in her arms.
"How did you come?"
Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu, then glanced at the girl next to him. A hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. Especially since the girl was looking at her so excitedly, did she know her?
After just one glance, she looked away.
"Zhai Jingxuan" was about to call Zhao Ying when she was interrupted by Shangguan Shu. Shangguan Shu hummed softly, his dark eyes always fixed on Zhao Ying's face, and he took the time to pinch his little daughter's smooth face.
"I didn't hear from you in the capital for a long time, and I was worried, so I left the capital on the pretext of illness." He paused, his eyes a little distressed, "But, I'm still late."
Zhao Ying's eyes shone, "You know everything?"
Shangguan Shu nodded.
Zhao Ying was not surprised. Although she had blockaded Dali, the real commander of the Yunnan Army was Shangguan Shu, and they all knew the relationship between Shangguan Shu and her, so they would not stop him from entering the city, nor would they hide it from him.
When Shangguan Shu and the sickly "Zhai Jingxuan" first approached Dali, he smelled an unusual smell. After entering, it was even more obvious that the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The foreigners in Dali City had been killed, but the nightmare in the distant towns had just begun. Shangguan Shu had been a general for many years and had excellent eyesight and hearing. Amid the faint sound of rain, he heard wailing cries for help.
His heart sank slightly. "Zhai Jingxuan" beside him noticed something was wrong and asked, "Dad, what happened? When I left, this place wasn't so quiet?"
It was so quiet that it seemed as if there was no human presence.
Shangguan Shu did not dare to think too much. The lieutenant general who led the way told him everything that had happened in Dali City. Shangguan Shu felt mixed emotions after listening to it. For a moment, he regretted that he had sent his wife and daughter to such a tiger's den. For a moment, he was angry that Dali had been occupied by a group of insects for many years. For a moment, he could not help but applaud.
Well done Zhao Ying!
How could he not love her, how could he not love a woman like this?
Her mind and spirit...she shouldn't be buried in the palace!
Even if it was not for the purpose of fulfilling Zhao Ying's dream, he felt that among all the children of Emperor Jianxi, who else but Zhao Ying could be the successor!
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.
Shangguan Shu was somewhat conflicted. He wanted all the civil and military officials to see Zhao Ying's edge, but he also didn't want her to be criticized.
The massacre of the city...
"If I had come a few days earlier, I could have issued an order for you. If the emperor were to find fault, I could have also..."
Shangguan Shu said this with a frown. In fact, he could have come earlier. If anyone wanted to blame someone, blame Shangguan Chengjing!
Oh my god…the son he raised for so many years turned out to be a daughter?
Forget about his daughter. On the day they set off, he held his stomach in pain and couldn't straighten his back. When he stood up, there was blood under his buttocks...
