042: Tang Hui calculates, there is no way to avoid it
Noon was approaching, and Lou Yueqing was about to have lunch, when she came in to report: "Princess Qiqi, the right minister of Wei Chi is here!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing was about to pick up the chopsticks of something, and hesitated for a while: "Yu Chisheng, what is he doing at this time?"
Although she was puzzled, she still asked Mingshu to invite someone in, and she also got up and walked to the front hall to meet her.
Wei Chisheng came in a hurry, wearing a court robe and an official hat, obviously just came out of the palace banquet, and he was in a hurry, he must have come in a hurry.
As soon as Lou Yueqing saw him, she frowned, and before he could say anything, she immediately asked, "Shouldn't you be feasting in the palace? Why are you here at this time? What happened?"
Yu Chisheng was stunned: "Uh......" His face was stunned for a moment, and Yu Chisheng immediately twisted his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't it Xiao Jie, the person you sent to me, and asked me to come to see him immediately anyway?"
Lou Yueqing was stunned when she heard this, and then said in a deep voice with a solemn face: "I didn't send someone to find you......"
"That ......"
Lou Yueqing suddenly raised her hand, pressed her index finger to her lips, and said with a solemn face: "Shhhh
Yu Chisheng's voice paused, and he looked at her puzzled, only to see that she suddenly held her breath with a solemn face and was listening to something, looking serious and focused.
Then, not only Wei Chisheng, but also Mo Li, who was behind her, also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and outside the courtyard, there were a large number of footsteps approaching......
Wei Chisheng was about to say something, but Ming Shu suddenly hurried in from outside, and reported in a deep voice: "The princess is not good, a large number of forbidden troops have come from outside, and they have surrounded the courtyard!"
As soon as the words fell, before Lou Yueqing could speak, Yu Chisheng's face had already changed greatly: "What?"
Shen Shu then said in a deep voice: "Now that the other courtyard has been surrounded by water, please ask the princess to evacuate this place immediately!"
After Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment, she quickly calmed down, her face was slightly condensed, and she asked lightly: "Since they are all surrounded, how can they evacuate?"
Shen Shu looked at death as if he were at home: "My subordinates will desperately escort the princess ......"
Lou Yueqing immediately interrupted him: "There's no need for this!"
She was stunned for a moment, looking at her puzzled, and Yu Chisheng and Mo Li also looked at her with solemn faces.
Lou Yueqing stabilized her mind and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are outside?"
Shen Shu immediately said: "No less than five thousand, almost all the streets of the houses outside are surrounded and blocked, and there are bows and arrows in hand......"
Lou Yueqing asked again: "Who is the leader?"
Ming Shu immediately replied: "There are three people, one of them is Xiao Yihuai, and the other two subordinates don't know, but one of them is wearing a general's armor!"
Lou Yueqing's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, she looked at Yu Chisheng and said lightly: "You and I have been calculated!"
Attract Wei Chi Sheng, and then bring someone to take it down in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone, not only arresting her, the regent princess of Chu State, but also uprooting Wei Chi Sheng on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and severely damaging the party of Jingyang Palace, provided that the people who came to do this did not know her true identity.
Wei Chisheng's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't believe it: "How can it be ......?"
It was his subordinate Han Zheng who entered the palace with a token to enter and exit the palace to report, saying that Xiao Jie had something important to discuss, and he was in a hurry, so he had to go to see him no matter what, so he ignored the palace banquet and left the palace, and thought that Lou Yueqing really had something urgent here......
The origin of his relationship with Lou Yueqing is only known to Han Zheng, and he has never said Lou Yueqing's identity, but occasionally when he sends a message, he asks Han Zheng to do it, he calls it Xiao Jie, so Han Zheng only knows that he is called Xiao Jie, but Han Zheng is his henchman, how can he betray him after following him for so many years......
If Han Zheng hadn't betrayed, what would be going on today......
Lou Yueqing ignored Yu Chisheng's disbelief, just smiled coldly, and said sarcastically: "Five thousand people, and archers...... It's a lot of painstaking work......"
I'm afraid that this matter is inseparable from the one in Weiyang Palace, or rather, she planned it, otherwise Xiao Yihuai's idiot would definitely not know where she was, and it would be even more impossible to know that Yu Chisheng was her person, and it also attracted Yu Chisheng, only Tang Hui has this ability, but Xiao Yihuai must only think that she is the princess of Chu, Yu Chisheng collaborated with the enemy and treason, and thought about meritorious performance, so he did this kind of stupid thing of digging his own grave!
Thinking so, a large number of Praetorian guards had already poured in outside, all armed with bows and arrows, surrounding the house where they were......
A voice from outside came in: "The thieves inside are listening, you have been surrounded, come out quickly and surrender and be captured, otherwise you will die under the arrows!"
Because the door of the hall is open, the situation in front of the hall can be seen at a glance, and I saw that the guards on the third floor were holding bows and arrows pointing here, arrows on the string, deliberately ready to attack, and the leader was Xiao Yihuai and a man in armor in the middle, if these were the Praetorian Guards, I think that one would be the commander of the Praetorian Guards.
Lou Yueqing couldn't help sneering, this really made her have nowhere to escape, there are so many people around this place, and even a fly can't fly out if she wants to come outside, the enemy is outnumbered, even if her martial arts are high, it is difficult to escape, even if she can escape, she can't leave, and Wei Chisheng is difficult to get out, I am afraid that she will lose her life, or hurt them, not to mention, she doesn't need to run away!
Since there is no way to avoid it, she can only face it, no matter how cruel she has to face, she is fearless!
The corners of her mouth pursed a sneer, she stepped forward to walk out, but both Mingshu and Mo Li were anxious: "Master......"
"Princess......
Lou Yueqing raised her hand to stop them from talking, and said lightly: "It's okay, sooner or later they have to face it, since they can't wait, why should I cower here?"
With that, she stood tall and walked to the door with a determined gaze......
The palace banquet is in full swing, singing and dancing constantly, the music is melodious, everyone is talking and laughing, raising a glass and drinking together, so lively.
After the song and dance, it was the royal relatives and civil and military officials present to present the birthday toast to Xiao Zhenglin on his birthday, round after round of people stepped forward, presented the prepared birthday gifts, and said some auspicious scenes, Xiao Zhenglin was very happy, although it was not suitable to drink, but also drank a few glasses.
Just when the palace concubines and princesses were celebrating their birthdays and just arrived at the hundred officials, at the entrance of the banquet, a loud voice sounded: "The prince has arrived!"
Xiao Yihuai, who was dressed in the prince's court clothes, walked in from the outside, with a proud face, walked to the high platform, lifted his robe, and knelt down to salute: "The son sees his father, and I wish my father a long life!"
Xiao Zhenglin said lightly: "The prince get up!"
Xiao Yihuai immediately stood up and waved his hand to thank him: "Thank you, father!"
Xiao Zhenglin's face was pale and slightly displeased, and he asked, "Prince, why did you leave the table before the banquet?"
Although Fang Cai didn't say anything, Xiao Zhenglin was extremely displeased, the dignified prince, leaving the table before the banquet on such occasions is simply unseemly!
