Her appearance reminded me of her jealousy, resentment, and forcible press when I met her several times before.

Yongjia sighed at this time: "Now is the time when we need to fight against foreign enemies, so it's better not to argue." However, although the soldiers and civilians in the city were united and bravely resisted the enemy. But the troops in Kyoto are indeed too weak, and I don't know if we can wait for the day when reinforcements arrive!"

The queen bowed her head and said: "Right now, there is only waiting." ”

Wait for reinforcements to arrive, or wait for the day when the city is broken.

Yongjia reluctantly smiled: "Yes, now we have to see how many days we can keep." Is it the rebels who are attacking the city quickly, or the reinforcements who are rushing to get the news!"

The people in the hall were silent.

In silence and unbearable waiting, the arduous defense of the capital has been going on for five days. The people in the queen's palace couldn't bear to listen to the news from outside, especially the bloody and scalp-tingling details that showed the stoic bravery of the soldiers and civilians of Kyoto.

The Yongning Palace became more and more silent—even though more and more people from the harem came to watch by the queen's side.

At the end of the sixth day, the arrival of Emperor Wei's attendants broke the suffocating silence.

The gray-haired old chamberlain stumbled into the hall and knelt in front of the queen's seat: "Niangniang, Niangniang, take everyone out of the city!"

The queen stood up abruptly and shouted, "Panic, what kind of system! No matter how big the matter is, you can tell me slowly!"

The waiter's shoulders trembled, prostrate on the ground, and bowed his head and said, "Niangniang atonements." His Majesty asked the old slave to send a letter to Niangniang, asking Niangniang to take the royal heirs, the harem and the young and weak people to retreat first. ”

"Where to go?"

"The guards will escort Niangniang from Donghua Gate, where the rebels are the weakest, and rush to Qizhou day and night, waiting for reinforcements. ”

"Your Majesty, what about them?"

The old waiter cried: "Your Majesty said that he will lead people to fight to the end and live and die with Kyoto!"

When the queen heard the last sentence, she suddenly sat on the phoenix seat unsupportively.

The old chamberlain hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, Lord Mo Di has always been guarding His Majesty's side. The queen's face improved a little when she heard this.

Wu Shanghua stood up at this time and said sharply: "Queen Mother, you should have listened to me a long time ago, if you leave five days ago, where will you be so urgent and hasty!"

Ruan Liangdi muttered: "Run faster than anyone else! I don't want to think about it, if I leave at that moment, wouldn't I be crashing into the encirclement that the rebels have just closed? The battle report to His Highness and the surrounding states and counties has not yet arrived, and there will be no reinforcements." When you go out of the city at that time, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?"

Wu Shanghua sneered: "What about now, isn't it the same?" My brother said, walked from the West View Gate, and went straight to Qizhou in the west. As long as you enter Qizhou City and block the four gates, you can always resist for a while. ”

The queen calmed down and said, "This palace listens to Your Majesty." Since His Majesty asked people to escort us from Donghua Gate, he must have a reason. ”

The old chamberlain bowed his head and said: "Yes, the old slave listened to the analysis of the ministers in the palace, and walked from Donghua Gate and ran all the way, so that he could meet His Royal Highness's army from the direction of Yuzhou earlier." Then it's safe. ”

Wu Shanghua looked at the queen anxiously: "Queen Mother, going east, it is a rural flat land, without the slightest barrier. Before the army of reinforcements appears, will we not be lambs to the slaughter in the eyes of the rebels?"

I looked at the people in the hall calmly, and it was undeniable that Wu Shanghua's words did have a certain truth: "No, you can't go from the Xijing Gate, nor from the Donghua Gate!"

The Empress looked at me with an inquiring gaze, and Wu Shanghua glared angrily: "What do you want to do? My father ordered me to wait out of the city, just so that he can take the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight with their strength and unhindered! Do you want to become a burden for the soldiers here?"

I said to the queen: "Queen Mother, Xijingmen is conducive to escaping to the surrounding cities, and Donghuamen is the weakest and easy to get out of the city. However, what we thought of, the rebels must have been able to speculate! Wouldn't they have been prepared for it? The courtier's daughter-in-law felt that it would be better to go from Anshun Gate to Diexiu Mountain. If His Royal Highness is already on the way back to help, it is advisable to occupy Diexiu Mountain first, and retreat can be defended, and advance can be used as a barrier for reinforcements to counterattack. ”

"What Liangyuan said is reasonable!" Xiao Thirteen strode in. Xiang Shi Li said: "Niangniang, Diexiu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a dense forest to the north behind the mountain, which is conducive to hiding. The subordinates think that walking from Anshun Gate is the best choice at the moment. ”

The queen quickly made a decision: "Xiao Thirteen, Your Majesty has sent a team of guards, and Yongning Palace also has guards who are guarded all year round. These people, this palace orders you to lead and rule together with the black armor army under your command. Escort the prince, the princess, the concubine and the concubines out of the city from Anshun Gate!"

Xiao 13 kowtowed and said, "Command!"

Wu Shanghua stepped forward and grabbed the queen's sleeve, shook it and said, "Queen Mother, why don't you listen to your daughter-in-law?"

The queen pulled her sleeves out of her hand and said calmly: "Xijingmen, Donghua Gate, and Anshun Gate all have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are all one of the options. However, only by going out of Anshun Gate and taking Diexiu Mountain first is something that will be helpful to Yao'er, who has marched all the way back to help!"

Her eyes were extremely light, and she glanced at Wu Shanghua: "You say, how will I choose to be a mother?" Naturally, if you want to follow your brother to Qizhou, this palace will also follow you." ”

Wu Shanghua was a little gloomy, silently lowered his head and let go of the queen's sleeves, and muttered: "But the minister's daughter-in-law has already made an appointment with her brother." ”

"What does the queen mother say, Weichen and her sister naturally want to follow the mother and be good at guarding!" Wu Shangxian entered the hall with a sword in his hand. Salute to the queen and say: "The battle is fierce, Weichen sabers to the palace, and invites Niang Niang Haihan." ”

The queen bowed slightly: "That's the case, Wu Jiu Gongzi and Xiao Thirteen, you two quickly arrange it!"

Wu Shangxian and Xiao Shisan responded together.

It seemed that the inside and outside of the Yongning Palace, which had been calm for several days, suddenly became busy.

The palace people in the hall had already packed up the things in the palace a few days earlier, but there was no obvious panic at this time, and they were soon ready to go. All of them followed behind the queen, and Yuguan went out of the palace and got into the carriage outside the palace gate. It's just that I am inevitably frightened in my heart and my face is sad.

Xiao 13 integrated the sergeants and distributed them in the front and rear of the convoy. shouted: "Give me the Anshun Gate!" One after another, the carriages sped up quickly.

Cuinong, Ruyi, Chloe, and Yinghong all huddled in the carriage with me, reaching out to hold me firmly, trying not to be thrown into the frame by the violent bumps.

I squeezed out a laugh: "Hold on to yourselves, don't be thrown out." ”

In addition to Ruyi smiling slightly and nodding in response, although the other girls tried their best to pull the corners of their mouths and smile, they were scared in their hearts, and the panic in their eyes became even stronger. The galloping carriage was lifted open by the cold wind, and Chelle, who was facing the window, suddenly screamed, turned her head and retched.
