With the example of General Yuan, the remaining civil and military officials all wanted to protect themselves, and no one spoke up anymore.

Nan Dinghou looked outside the door of the main hall, there was no movement except for the guards in the palace, and he frowned and seemed to be a little disappointed.

"In that case, I will work hard for the ministers to stay here for the time being tonight, and when the matter is dealt with, I will naturally let you go back. ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't show up, this matter would not be over, these ministers were the bargaining chips in his hands, and naturally he would not let them go easily.

"What do you say, Queen Mother?"

"Now that the emperor has been handed over to the Marquis of Nanding to handle the affairs of the court, it is naturally the Hou Ye who has the final say. ”

The queen lowered her eyes, she could feel the disappointment and disdain in the eyes of the civil and military officials, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.

"It's not too early, I'll go back and rest first. ”

At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly cried and staggered in, and it was the father of Fushun who was close to the emperor and was waiting for his father-in-law.

His hat was crooked at the moment, the dust in his hand was also hanging aside, his face was panicked, and he tripped over the threshold when he entered the door.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not good, the emperor, the emperor...... ......"

The news woke everyone up like a bomb.

The queen's eyes widened instantly, as if she couldn't believe her ears, and even her lips trembled slightly: "You, what did you say?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he ......" Father-in-law Fushun knelt down with a thud, fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

For a while, all the civil and military officials also knelt down in unison.

Only Nan Dinghou heard the news and curled the corners of his lips even more proudly, looking at everyone's reactions, as if opening the perspective of God.

The queen turned her head to look at him angrily, "Why? Why did you never tell me?"

"Queen Mother, the emperor has been unwell for a while, not to mention that the wizard doesn't know how to save people at all, just fooling the emperor with some three-legged cat kung fu, and he has long been empty and only an empty shell since this time. ”

Nan Dinghou said and stretched out his hand to help him, "The queen is too sad, Ben Hou should help you go back to rest first." ”

"No need, I can go by myself!" the queen pulled out her hand and strode down the steps, "Father-in-law Fushun, lead the way for this palace." ”

Seeing that the queen left Nandinghou and did not stop her, she and the emperor were also husband and wife, and it was reasonable to send him off for the last time.

Even if it's to give them the last gift.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, there is such a big movement in the palace, Xiao Jingchen has not appeared.

Does he really not care about this country changing hands?

Even so, doesn't he care if Su Qing is still in the palace?

Just when Nandinghou thought that he was going to take the throne so easily, there was finally movement at the gate of the palace.

A guard leader hurriedly came in and reported: "Marquis Qiqi, the war king has arrived at the palace gate, do you want to let him pass?"

Finally came, Nan Dinghou's eyes lit up and the corners of his lips hooked proudly, he had waited too long for this moment.

"It's already so late, the king of war is suddenly about to enter the palace, what is the matter?" he asked pretendedly, and then waved his hand without waiting for the leader of the guards to answer: "Since he is the king of war, let him in." ”

"It's the King of War who is here, and the King of War must be here to save us!"

"Yes, now that the king of war is still in the capital, he will definitely not let the thieves succeed!"

The ministers below were hungry all day, and their eyes lit up when they heard Xiao Jingchen's name.

Their Xiao family didn't know how many times they had defended the country for Daqi, and this time they must be able to.

Hope was ignited in everyone's eyes, and some people dared to stand up and confront Nan Dinghou.

As the night deepened, Nan Dinghou was already a little impatient, so he asked people to guard the main hall of the court and took a few steps to greet him.

He had to wait for Xiao Jingchen to appear with his troops, and then take him down in the name of plotting to usurp the throne, so as to remove the last big stone in his heart.

But just when he triumphantly lined up his troops and prepared to take Xiao Jingchen and his soldiers in one fell swoop.

But I saw Xiao Jingchen walking slowly along the palace road alone, every step was extremely steady, and every step seemed to be stepping on Nan Dinghou's chest.

The night was vast, and he walked through the long palace road alone, and his narrow phoenix eyes couldn't see any emotion.

Just making people feel that his momentum alone is enough to overwhelm the hundreds of people in front of him.

"Xiao Jingchen, you're finally here. Nan Dinghou's original good mood was torn apart by Xiao Jingchen at this moment.

He looked at Xiao Jingchen not far away with a gloomy face, and gritted his teeth even more when he called his name, eager to kill him with a sword right now.

"Senior Brother Bai, don't come unharmed. The corners of Xiao Jingchen's lips were slightly hooked, as if it was just an ordinary greeting.

Nandinghou's pupils shrank, Senior Brother Bai, this is what Xiao Jingchen called him when he used to study with Xiao Jingchen's father.

Bai Shijing is his full name, every time the teacher calls him Shijing, and Xiao Jingchen keeps calling him senior brother, this title seems to instantly pull him to ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he planted envy and jealousy for Xiao Jingchen in his heart, and the seeds of hatred that he wanted to destroy if he couldn't compare to it in the end.

This was later far away from the capital, he was sent to the south, and he also made military achievements and was awarded the title of marquis, and he never came back.

He thought that Xiao Jingchen would no longer have any influence on him, they were in the north and he was in the south, so they were separated forever.

It's just that he didn't expect that the next time they met, the two would directly stand in a hostile position, and this time, he was in an advantageous position.

Nan Dinghou's mind skipped many pictures in an instant, and he looked at Xiao Jingchen who was standing not far in front of him, and slowly hooked the corners of his lips.

"After so many years, you still remember me as a senior brother, shouldn't I feel honored?"

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, and my senior brother has really not changed at all. Xiao Jingchen was like a green pine, and he could keenly perceive that the surrounding area of this courtyard was already full of archers.

As long as Nan Dinghou gave an order, he might be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

"Xiao Jingchen, you don't have to play the emotional card with me, since you are here today, you know that you can't get out of the gate of this palace. ”

"This king didn't plan to go out again. ”

"Since you have such an awareness, Senior Brother will fulfill you!" Nan Dinghou laughed and raised his hand to raise his voice.

"The king of war heard that the emperor was seriously ill and wanted to raise troops to rebel, but he was discovered by Benhou in time, and someone came!

"Raise troops to rebel?" Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes and sneered: "Where are the soldiers?

"The tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city gate are all under your command, don't think that Ben Hou doesn't know your conspiracy, you dare to enter the palace alone, then Ben Hou will give you a simple!"
