Chapter 296

She looked. Everyone was wearing black clothes without a mask. She looked at her dirty clothes. She gave up the idea of changing clothes. Anyway, it was so dirty that it looked almost black, at least it was gray.

"Princess, let's go."

"HMM." maybe it was the last moment, so they went out directly from the gate and ran quickly to the prime minister's house. I don't want to meet another group of people on the way.

"Brother!" Du Xiaoli recognized Du Xiuheng in front of him.

"Sister, how did you come back?!" Du Xiuheng dressed differently from the scholars in the past. His strong clothes made him look less stupid. Seeing Du Xiaoli really surprised him.

"Brother, are you going home?" Du Xiaoli ran to him and asked.

Du Xiuheng and a group of people in black also seemed to go to the prime minister's house.

"Didn't you go to see off your relatives? Why did you come back?" Du Xiuheng asked.

"I heard there was an accident at home, so I came back." Du Xiaoli said, "since we all want to go home, let's go together. I'm afraid the news in the palace will affect my father's safety."

"Well, let's go!" Du Xiuheng nodded and waved to the people behind him. Everyone continued to run towards the prime minister's house.

Outside the prime minister's house, the soldiers surrounded the prime minister's house on three floors, because this is the place where the rebels gather outside the palace. In order to protect Zhong Meiqing, it is heavily guarded.

The night shrouded the whole mansion, and lanterns broke the darkness like stars.

"Mother, when King Ren becomes the emperor, do you think I might be the queen?" Du Kexin sat in a chair happily in Zhong Meiqing's room, his face full of longing.

"Of course, you should try to seize the opportunity and let him make you queen." Zhong Meiqing lay on the imperial concubine's chair, and Xiaocui pinched her shoulder behind her.

"Well, I will firmly grasp the heart of King Ren," said Du Kexin.

"Heart? No, not heart. A man's heart is the most unreliable." Zhong Meiqing said. "You should firmly grasp his other things, such as... Power."

"Right?" Du Kexin looked at Zhong Meiqing puzzled and said, "shouldn't it be his heart? If he had me in his heart, he would be willing to give me everything?"

"You are still young now, and my mother was like you at the beginning, so she would come to this end. If she hadn't been young and impulsive and wanted his heart at that time, she wouldn't have been like this," Zhong Meiqing said, "It's going to end tonight. Tomorrow is the time for him to ascend the throne. You've reached your hairpin now. When your wedding date is set next year, you'll at least be a royal concubine as soon as you go in."

"Imperial concubine!" Du Kexin's eyes lit up when he heard the word imperial concubine!

"Yes," Zhong Meiqing said definitely.

"Congratulations, miss!" the servant girls in the room blessed Du Kexin.

"Well, go to bed early tonight, and my mother will welcome the guests later." Zhong Meiqing urged Du Kexin to leave.

"Who will come so late?" Du Kexin asked.

"Leave it alone. Just stay in your own yard."

"But mother..."

"Not yet!" said Zhong Meiqing.

Du Kexin always feels that Zhong Meiqing is a little different from usual. Tonight it looks a little like the Empress Dowager's usual appearance.

"Oh, that daughter leaves, mother, you rest early."

Then she blessed herself and left Zhong Meiqing's room.

Zhong Meiqing watched Du Kexin leave and shouted at the door: "come."

"Someone."

Two bodyguards came in and said, "madam."

"Send more people to protect the young master's and young lady's yard tonight."

"Yes."

The two bodyguards withdrew. Zhong Meiqing waved Xiaocui to stop massaging and said, "go and see my husband before meeting the guests. I don't know if he can live tonight. If he really doesn't want to be married for so many years..."

Du Yunhan counted the time in bed. The sound of the lock being opened came, and then Zhong Meiqing came in.

"The master hasn't rested so late? Can't those people serve?" Zhong Meiqing said with a smile when he saw Du Yunhan still with his eyes open.

"If you lie in bed every day, you won't be able to sleep." Du Yunhan said faintly.

"It seems that the master has slept too much in the daytime." Zhong Meiqing said, paused, looked at Du Yunhan and asked, "master, do you know what day it is tonight?"

"What day?" Du Yunhan asked.

"Today is Han Mingze's next day, and may also be the last day to live in the world." Zhong Meiqing said coldly. Seeing Du Yunhan's expressionless face, she continued: "Tonight is the deadline given by the Empress Dowager to Han Mingze. Whether he hands in the jade seal or not, tonight is his death date. And you may die with him. After all, you are taking refuge in him now."

"If you say you may die, you may not die." Du Yunhan said.

"Yes, I asked my sister for a way to live for you." Zhong Meiqing said, "look at our love for so many years, I can't give you up completely, can I? After all, you are the first man who moved me." "conditions?" Du Yunhan didn't think Zhong Meiqing would ask for love for himself in vain. "Smart. Kill a pair of sons and daughters of that bitch. Their existence is too eye-catching." Zhong Meiqing said the conditions and added: "this is also the meaning of the Empress Dowager!" "impossible." Du Yunhan refused without thinking. "Master, I really do it for you. The Empress Dowager said that if you kill them, you will spare your life!" Zhong Meiqing sat on the stool, playing with his fingernails, looking a little careless. It seems that she has also given up on Du Yunhan. "Do you think you Miao people can really succeed?" Du Yunhan turned his head and asked without answering her. Zhong Meiqing heard the Miao people pause, then smiled and said, "you really know." "of course, I gave the emperor the evidence of your contacts with the Miao people. I know your tasks, your actions and your plans." "Ha ha, I guess you know, but what's the matter? You can't do anything now. The whole palace and army are controlled by our people, and Han Mingyi is not here. What else do you want to turn over?" Zhong Meiqing said with a smile, "In fact, the way I chose for you is the best. If you kill those two little bitches and you have that son and daughter, you can still save your life. What's wrong? As your children, why do you care so much about those two bitches and don't care at all about the children who grew up around you?" "don't you talk about bitches!" Du Yunhan said word by word with cold light in his eyes.
