Huangfu Qinghe is not worried about this, "My father is now in the prime of spring and autumn, and his health has always been very good, and I still look forward to my younger brothers doing something soon." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" He added in his heart, do it as soon as possible and please his father's dislike as soon as possible, and good things will naturally fall on him in the future.

In the snowy region and the arctic cold land, Tiecheng is beaming today, because the son and daughter of the lord of Guigu came to Tiecheng with a few friends, and their arrival also brought a large number of food and clothing supplies to Tiecheng. Therefore, after a long and dark winter, the people of the Iron City, who finally ushered in the spring and March season, whether they were defending the city or practicing, everyone rushed to the streets of the Iron City to meet the little lord.

Originally, Xingxi needed to participate in the military training, but Guigu Yanli specially gave him a day off and asked him to entertain Guigu Pengfei and them.

Xingxi took people to wait at the city gate for half an hour, and then saw a team of people galloping two, and when they ran closer, they recognized that it was Guigu Pengfei and them, judging from the figure, there were several women caught in the team, Xingxi couldn't help but think, could it be that Guigu Yonglan and they also came to the Iron City? Hell, what are these ladies doing in this desolate Iron City?

The horses in the snow region were all very tall, and after a while, there were more than a hundred of these high-headed horses in front and behind neatly parked outside the city gate, and Guigu Pengfei took the lead and flew off the horse in a dashing manner.

Xingxi greeted him, "Why don't you stay in Yunzhou?" instead, you ran to this place where the grass is hard to grow. ”

Guigu Pengfei looked five points similar to his father, very tall, with rough facial features, he laughed, "We all miss you, my father threw us to Tiecheng, saying that he would follow you to experience here." ”

Guigu Yonglan looks more like Mrs. Guigu, with beautiful facial features, but this also stops at the surface, people who have been with her know that she has a bold personality, and she is a cheerful person like her brother, she is riding her own beloved horse this time, the maroon mare, although the personality is docile, but the foot strength is good, she herself named this horse "Jujube Flower". She followed behind Guigu Pengfei and walked up with Jujube Flower, "Brother Xingxi, we all came to see you." ”

Xingxi looked behind her, and it turned out that the young masters and young ladies of the two families on the north shore had also arrived. Xingxi couldn't help frowning, "You guys are really messing around, what's the matter, did your uncle ask you to come?

Guigu Yonglan stuck out her tongue, looked back at the two sisters Fei Fei and Qiuyan on the north shore and said, "I said that I can't hide this from Brother Xingxi, I was seen through before I entered the city." ”

Xingxi looked at Guigu Pengfei with blaming eyes, only to see him desperately waving his hand to show his innocence, "It's none of my business, they followed us quietly, and when we were halfway there, they appeared, and we didn't have any extra manpower to force them back to Yunzhou, so we had to take them with us." It's fine, it's just three months anyway. ”

Xingxi had no choice but to take them into the city, just thinking in his heart that this matter would have to be left to Guigu Yanli to deal with.

Huangfu Qinghe also stayed in Yunzhou for two months, but he couldn't find any news about the second prince, the children of the Guigu Qianli family usually have more contact with the children of the North Shore family, and the other children did not go to Yunzhou halfway. In March, the children of the Qianli family in Guigu continued to go north and went to the iron city where ghosts cried wolves, and Huangfu Qinghe couldn't find any news about the second prince.

Therefore, Huangfu Qinghe plans to try to buy the servants of Guigu Qianli in Yunzhou again, so it is better to leave a chess piece in Yunzhou. But Guigu Qianli is very strict, most of these servants are very wary of the foreign population, for a while, they can't quietly buy people's hearts, they can only pick a few people who like to go to the Qinglou to have fun, the tone is not so strict, after inviting them to eat, drink and have fun a few times, and then send some pearl treasures, envelop them. But most of these people were low-class servants who did some menial work in the outer court, and the news that came out of their mouths was of no value.

Huangfu Qinghe had no choice but to leave two of his own people in Yunzhou, continue to keep in touch with those people to inquire about the news, and he planned to return to Zhongdu.

Not to mention the dangers experienced by Huangfuqing and the way back to Zhongdu, the Zhongdu side is also gradually showing more signs of decay. More and more homeless people gathered outside the central capital, causing trouble day and night, and there was a rumor among the people, saying that the heavens were angry and the people were resentful, and the Zhuluo family was afraid that they would soon not be able to control the world.

Even in the deep palace, I also felt the bleak atmosphere, and the Empress Dowager Huangfu specially summoned Huangfu Qingyun into the palace to inquire, and as a result, after Huangfu Qingyun left the palace, the Empress Dowager concentrated on worshipping the Buddha, and easily stopped leaving the Yongshou Palace for half a step, even if the emperor and queen went to ask for peace, they disappeared for some reason.

The expeditionary force has been sent north, although a few emperors have been placed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing as generals, but the people in charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing must be the people on the side of Huangfu Qingyun, especially the husband and martial artists of Huangfu Xueyi, who are even more wrong-founded in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Many respected old courtiers have written to apply for Zhishi, and then took their families back to the countryside to avoid trouble. The Emperor and his party in the DPRK and China are even more arrogant.

What is strange is that the emperor calmed down instead, going to the morning court every day, and being alone the rest of the time, occasionally going to the queen and concubine.

Such a peaceful day did not last long, in May, just in the early summer, the image of prosperity, the atmosphere in the palace was slightly relaxed, but on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the first month of May, Huangfu Qingyun launched a coup d'état, known as the "Dragon Boat Festival Change" in history.

Huangfu Qingyun led the troops into the west gate of the imperial city when he was ugly, and it was Huangfu Qingyun's people who guarded the west gate, so he easily entered the west gate without a single soldier, and then rushed to the emperor's bedroom with murderous spirits.

The secret guards around the emperor hurriedly escorted the emperor to the depths of the palace, some of the secret guards were responsible for gathering the forbidden army and inner servants of the palace to block the footsteps of Huangfu Qingyun, and there were also secret guards who went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to transfer troops.

When the emperor retreated to the imperial garden, the palace already on the west side of the palace was on fire, and the flames rose to the sky, illuminating the whole sky. The queen, concubine Ji and other ** concubines also retreated to the imperial garden to meet the emperor.

The secret guards around the emperor persuaded the emperor to leave the palace by boat from Chaofeng Palace, but the emperor was silent and led everyone to Wangxiantai next to Chaofeng Palace, and waited until the highest place to watch the battle below.

The secret guards beside the emperor still wanted to persuade them to board the ship as soon as possible, "Your Majesty, board the ship now, and you can leave Zhongdu." The emperor asked in a bit of a trance, "Where do you go after leaving Zhongdu?"

The dark guard choked for a moment, yes, where to leave? Empress Huangfu Xueru said, "Your Majesty, as long as you get on the boat, you can go east to Sister Ji's maiden house." ”

Concubine Ji's maiden home is the Ji family in the east, and if the emperor goes there, he can indeed seek refuge. But the emperor was reluctant to leave the palace. The emperor was reluctant to leave, and the queen also accompanied the emperor, and the other concubines and palace maids also stood on the Wangxian Terrace with a chill.

Looking down from Wangxiantai, it can be clearly seen that the strength of the confrontation between the two sides is very different, the emperor's secret guards and forbidden troops have been defeated and retreated, and they have retreated to the imperial garden, and they are near Wangxiantai.

The emperor stretched out his hand and shook the empress's hand, "Is Zitong afraid?" The empress has been standing next to the emperor very quietly, at this time she turned her head to the emperor and smiled softly, and shook the emperor's hand back vigorously, "With Your Majesty, the concubines are not afraid." ”

The Emperor nodded, and then looked back at the Imperial Garden. After watching it for a while, he summoned a secret guard and whispered a few words in his ear. The Dark Guard took the order. The emperor turned back to the attendants beside him and said, "Take Concubine Ji Niangniang to the boat, and the other maids and palace maids can follow Concubine Ji to the boat and send her back to Ji's house." “

Concubine Ji stood behind the emperor, her always calm face full of tears, "Your Majesty, let the concubine accompany Your Majesty." ”

The emperor let go of the hand holding the queen and wiped the tears on her face for Concubine Ji, who knew that the tears flowed again after wiping them, the emperor sighed lightly, "It's hard for you to stay in the palace for all these years, go home, and find someone else to remarry." If you really think of my goodness, if you see the people of the Zhuluo family in the future and help them, it will be considered a complete love between us. ”

Concubine Ji had to say more, the queen Fu Xueru took her hand, went to the side and whispered a few words to her, Concubine Ji finally took the initiative to wipe away her tears, bowed to the emperor and queen, and went downstairs with a kind of inner maid. There were only a few palace maids who were used to the emperor and empress, who were unwilling to leave their masters and voluntarily stayed.

The emperor and empress also stopped admonishing and stood side by side on the Wangsendai platform, looking at the entire palace. I saw that the Yongshou Palace in the north was also brightly lit, and the group came out of the Yongshou Palace with lanterns, and it seemed that the Empress Dowager finally came out of the Yongshou Palace and walked towards Sendai.

The emperor smiled strangely, made a gesture, Wangxian Tai had already been piled up with flammable firewood and cloth, poured oil, the secret guard saw the emperor's gesture, so he personally lit the fire, the fire soared to the sky, far away in the north of the palace The Empress Dowager and her party saw it.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked the grandmother beside her, "Is that the location of Wangxiantai?"

The guard who led the way in front said anxiously, "That's where the emperor and queen went, why did the fire start?"

The Empress Dowager was in a hurry to walk over, and the chamberlain had already brought a soft sedan chair over, and asked the guards to carry the soft sedan chair and walk quickly in the direction of Wangsendai.

The emperor looked back on his life, and since he ascended the throne as emperor, he finally realized that his father was wary of the imperial family, and his teachings were really good. But it was too late. Fortunately, the second emperor's brother and the child in Fu Guifei's womb had already escaped, where were they now? The emperor cast his gaze into the darkness in the distance in the firelight.
