1485 My Own Daughter-in-Law Is the Best
She truly didn't expect that this time's outing to Yating Court would be the day she died.
Queen Zhao couldn't help but reveal a tragic smile. She had plotted this and that, but ended up plotting against her own life too.
But she did not regret it at all.
Since Consort Cheng and that intractable son of hers were delusional enough to make a move against her crown prince, she naturally had to finish them off before they could succeed in case it ended up ensnaring her son.
After killing another zombie crane, Queen Zhao felt her right arm ache and drop down limply. As she gazed at the flock of zombie cranes that kept tackling her, she let out a self-mocking laugh.
It turned out that no one could face death calmly and collectedly because this kind of death was something no one was able to accept.
"Rawr!" Suddenly, with a furious roar, a giant ape shook the ground as it kicked away two zombie cranes and hustled in her direction.
Queen Zhao looked up in surprise as she saw a stoic-faced little lady hopping down onto the giant ape's head. After giving her a glance, the latter started clearing up the flock of zombie cranes around them without another word.
Numerous vines shot out from her sleeve and lashed out at the zombie cranes in the surroundings.
Assisted by several hundred ice blades piercing through the air, all the approaching zombie cranes were injured heavily by her blitzkrieg tactics.
Queen Zhao only felt her eyes tearing up as an indescribable emotion surged in her chest.
S-Sure enough… her own daughter-in-law was the best!
All those bewitching and contemptible wretches like Yi'an truly could not be trusted.
No matter how much she nitpicked this little stoic-faced daughter-in-law previously, this daughter-in-law did not turn away and still ran over to rescue her in time of danger on her son's account.
However—
Queen Zhao's heart clenched as she watched the little stoic plunge into the flock of zombie cranes and attack them with penetrating blows. Her hands couldn't help but get damp from cold sweat.
She was getting besieged by a flock of more than a hundred zombie cranes, after all.
But soon, Queen Zhao was able to ease up.
With the crown prince consort's appearance, several hundred Hidden Night Pavilion guards also swarmed over. With everyone working together to attack, clearing this flock of zombie cranes only took a matter of moments.
Seeing that the situation had come under control, the young crown prince consort zipped over to the queen. "Royal Mother, are you alright."
Queen Zhao shook her head as tears brimmed in her eyes. She then grasped her daughter-in-law's arm tightly. "I-I'm alright, Royal Mother is fine."
This stoic-faced daughter-in-law of hers was only a bit colder than others on the surface, but after getting to know her, one would realize that she had a warm heart.
"It's good that you are alright." The young crown prince consort nodded, yet before they could keep talking, a heavy bang came from behind the iron doors.
Yi'an's scream exploded from within, followed by extremely piercing sounds of fingernails scratching the doors.
Queen Zhao jumped in fright, and she reflexively grabbed her daughter-in-law's petite hand.
Qiao Mu pushed the queen to the side before lifting up her leg and stomping open those iron gates.
Those iron gates weighed a thousand pounds, but her daughter-in-law was truly valiant, making those iron gates just collapse with this stomp.
Queen Zhao's heart jolted, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If this stomp were to land on someone, it would definitely take that person's life.
As those iron gates fell to the ground, Yi'an's tussled figure scrambled out, followed by two squawking zombie cranes.
Two vines abruptly lashed out, exploding those zombie cranes' brains with two strikes.
