After Mu Qingchao left, Xu Jinglin walked over from the other side of the palace wall.
He had just seen the whole scene, but he did not choose to stop it. Only at this moment did he say to his sister: "You still gave her my token. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Xu Meiren turned her head and did not look at him, and said in a cold tone: "It's too late for the Queen Mother to go now anyway.
Now, brother, you are a new member of the imperial court and His Majesty's right-hand man. After this incident, you will surely gain His Majesty's appreciation and rise to prominence, and His Majesty will be reluctant to kill you.
When the time comes, just put all the blame on me alone. Don’t worry, I won’t implicate you.”
"you……"
Of course Xu Jinglin could hear it, every word of her was sarcastic.
"Are you still blaming me? Don't you know that I am doing all this for you?"
"I know my brother is doing it for my own good."
Xu Meiren looked back at Xu Jinglin: "It's useless for me. If it weren't for my brother's help in the previous dynasty, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the short-lived favor.
But, has brother forgotten what life we lived in the past?
It was the Queen Mother who pulled us out of those days when everyone could be bullied and the sky was dark.
We have only had a few good days now? How could my brother forget his benefactor?
What's the difference between that and the people who bullied us in the past?
Even... not even as good as them."
Xu Meiren's words hit her with a bang, but Xu Jinglin was calm.
"Look at you, didn't I say nothing to you? But in one sentence, you have a lot of excuses waiting for you."
Say it, he sighed again.
"That's all, just give it to me."
When he said this, Xu Meiren felt a little guilty.
"Then brother...what should you do?"
Xu Jinglin smiled and touched his sister's head with his hand: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Brother has his own way."

When Mu Qingchao rushed to the tower, Jiang Bo was exhausted from fighting.
He waited for a long time and Ji never came back. The soldiers at hand were dead and wounded and there were very few wounds left. He had no choice but to fight and retreat.
When I got to the edge of the tower and saw Shen Muchi on the tower, I understood everything in an instant.
Why didn't you see the flare? What accident?
But it was all done deliberately by Shen Muchi.
He wanted to kill the hero.
But he did not dare to kill him, fearing that the people would criticize him and fearing that his name would be recorded in history books, so he took advantage of the enemy to kill him.
Why did he want to kill him?
Jiang Bo couldn't understand.
His Jiang family has protected Nanming from generation to generation, and he has protected the Shen family from generation to generation. He has dedicated his whole life to the land beneath his feet.
If he has any selfish motives, he is just a queen mother...
By this time, he had been injured in many places.
Face, arms, legs...
The most serious wound was a wound from the shoulder to the chest, the clothes were torn, and blood trickled out.
The Dawan horse under the crotch has also been punished.
But he had no way out, and knowing that the door would no longer be opened from behind, he simply gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and faced the dark enemy troops ahead.
"Kill..."
Jiang Bo rode his horse and rushed straight away.
There were a few subordinates behind him, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw such a scene.
"General..."
Everyone knew that the general went there with the determination to fight to the death.
Right now, there is no other way except a fight to the death...
They watched the generals fighting in front of them, their swords opened and closed in a desperate manner, and blood flew everywhere they passed.
Beasts trapped in desperate situations are often a bit more ferocious than usual.
There is no one in the Jiang family army who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Probably because of the general's influence, the remaining subordinates have also rekindled their fighting spirit.
"Kill..."
They rode their horses and rushed into the vast army.
However, a few hundred people raised the morale of tens of thousands.
This made the enemy troops who clearly had the upper hand feel a little frightened.
However, in the distance, a pair of eyes were staring at this side like an eagle. The long bow was fully drawn, the long arrow left the string, and with a "whoosh" sound, it shot towards the river bank.
"General..."
The surrounding subordinates screamed in pain.
With a "pop" sound, the long arrow sank into the silver armor, making a sound of intersecting with flesh and blood.
Jiang Bo's body trembled, and his vision went dark for a moment.
"Jiang Bo..."
In the darkness, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
He looked back...
Is it an illusion?
He seemed to see a woman standing on the tower, the woman he had longed for...
Today she wore a hibiscus-colored long dress with light sleeves, and the wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, like a butterfly about to fly.
She is so beautiful, even in such a desperate situation, just looking at her makes me happy.
But her brows were furrowed, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. Such beautiful fox eyes, it was really heartbreaking to cry...
When Mu Qingchao rushed to the tower, this was the scene that caught his eye.
She was so stunned that she ran to the edge of the tower in a few steps, wishing she could just jump off the tower and follow him.
But a hand behind her held her.
She turned around and saw Shen Muchi's angry eyes.
"Why are you here?" Shen Muchi asked.
Mu Qingchao couldn't break free from his hand, and her tears fell heavily.
"Shen Muchi, let me go, let me go quickly!" she said.
How could Shen Muchi do what she wanted? He held her hand and his eyes deepened.
"What do you want to do?" he asked.
"Don't tell me, you want to jump after him?"
How ridiculous? He is as selfish as Mu Qingchao, as cool as Mu Qingchao, but now he can die for a man?
After the shock, there was boundless anger.
She would rather die for that man than be with him?
He held her hand a little harder than before, as if he wanted to crush her wrist.
Seeing her struggling, he simply pulled her hard and trapped her in his arms.
"Do you want to die with her?" he asked in her ear.
"You're dreaming!"
"Haha, do you like him that much?"
As he spoke, he actually touched her chin: "Then let's take a good look at him for the last time."
"But you have to remember, it wasn't me who wanted to kill him, it was you who forced me to kill him, it was you who forced me, it was you who killed him..."
He whispered in her ear word by word.
When it came to this, Mu Qingchao felt twitching in pain and couldn't even say a word for a while.
She looked at everything in front of her, looking at Jiang Bo under the tower, her eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, tears fell one by one, and fell on Shen Muchi's hand.
At this time, Jiang Bo was sitting on the horse.
He could feel that his strength was losing little by little, and it took him a long time to raise his drooped head.
After a moment, he stretched out his hand and tremblingly grabbed the arrow hilt stuck on his shoulder.
There was only a "click" sound, and the arrow handle was broken by him.
This time, not only his own subordinates, but also the enemy were stunned.
He...he still has the strength?
You know, he and his men have been fighting hard for three hours.
I originally thought that he would not be able to survive noon at most, but now...
He was so seriously injured, and there was an arrow in his shoulder at this moment. He thought he must be dead, but he still had strength.
