Approaching the fourth watch.

There were no stars in the sky, only a thin crescent moon.

In the dead of night, everything is silent. It is the time of the day when people sleep the deepest. The huge palace, shrouded in darkness, was quiet.

There are four palace gates, and two of them have been quietly opened.

Three thousand strong men wearing black night clothes and masking their faces with black scarves, holding sharp weapons, quietly sneaked into the palace. Soon they scattered in all directions.

The guards of the Forbidden Army who opened the door quickly signaled as if they were out of sight. Soon, many Praetorian guards gathered. The number of people is not too much, about a thousand.

The commander of the forbidden army is also a descendant of the Xiao family, called Xiao Huaiyuan. His biological mother and the late Qi Wang's biological mother were from the same family.

Xiao Huaiyuan and King Qi have always had a close relationship in private.

Thinking of the promise of the King of Qi to sit in the border pass and lead 100,000 border troops into battle to kill the enemy, Xiao Huaiyuan burst into blood, and the hand holding the long knife at his waist became more and more forceful, holding the handle of the knife extremely tightly.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, studying the art of war hard, and his greatest wish is to lead the troops out of Beijing and establish immortal meritorious deeds.

He wants the world to know that he, Xiao Huaiyuan, is by no means the commander of the guards only by relying on the surname Xiao. If he is allowed to lead his troops to kill the enemy, he will never be inferior to Gu Zhan, the Marquis of Dingbei, who died early.

The sharp sword in his hand should not be hidden in its scabbard.

"Commander," the guard who opened the palace gate was surnamed Xu, and was one of Xiao Huaiyuan's most powerful henchmen: "What should we do now?"

Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with a cold chill, and he said slowly: "There are bandits in the palace who have broken in, and as the commander of the forbidden army, we have the responsibility of guarding the palace, and we have the important responsibility of guarding the Son of Heaven." Now that His Royal Highness Taisun is in Yanfu Palace, we are going to Yanfu Palace. ”

Guard Xu immediately lowered his head.

A long whistle pierced the quiet night.

……

Jingyang Palace.

Queen Wang had been closing her eyes, and at this time she suddenly opened her eyes, and a bright light shot out of her cloudy eyes: "What time is it?"

Father-in-law Xi, who was sleeping with his clothes closed, did not fall asleep, and turned over and sat up: "Back to Niangniang, it's almost the fourth watch." ”

Four watches God......

A mysterious sneer flashed across the queen's face.

The three thousand dead soldiers of the King of Qi have entered the palace.

Although there were thousands of forbidden troops in the palace, they were scattered at different palace gates, and the troops were scattered. With Xiao Huaiyuan ordering someone to open the palace door, these three thousand highly skilled dead soldiers can easily sneak into the palace without effort.

The forbidden army outside Yanfu Palace was only five hundred, and it couldn't resist three thousand dead soldiers at all.

By the time the other forbidden troops arrived, the dead soldiers had already rushed into Yanfu Palace and beheaded the Taisun couple who were immersed in the dream of ascending the throne......

It doesn't matter if Gu Wanning dies or not. The most important thing is to kill the grandson, as well as Xiao Tianyi and Xiao Tianchun.

Killed the father and son, and cut down the grass and eradicated the roots.

Then, the king of Qi can logically succeed to the throne as the new emperor.

The reaction of those officials in the court is not to be feared. As long as a few "loyal and unyielding" ones are killed, the rest of the officials will soon obediently understand the interests and kneel at the feet of the king of Qi.

Anyway, they are all descendants of the Xiao family, and whoever sits on the dragon chair will be loyal to whomever they want.

After King Qi succeeded to the throne, he issued a decree on behalf of the first emperor and named her the queen mother. She will become the master of the harem again, and no one will be able to make her bow down.

Father-in-law Xi listened for a moment before he whispered, "There's no movement outside." ”

Queen Wang said lightly: "In a few moments, there should be movement." ”

Killing people and forcing the palace is the most brutal and bloody way, and it is also the most straightforward way. In the eyes of Emperor Yuanyou, the virtuous queen Wang actually appreciates and likes such a method very much.

……

Jingyue Palace.

Concubine Dou Shu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked out through the light gauze tent.

She saw nothing but the candlestick in the corner.

Her eyes seemed to see the blood light outside Jingyue Palace through the thick wall.

Concubine Dou Shufei suddenly laughed, and her wrinkled old face showed a cruel and contemptuous sneer. Then he whispered to himself: "Kill, it's better to kill you to the death, and die together." ”

Her son can't be the emperor, and it doesn't matter who will be the son of heaven.

It's interesting to have such a lively show to watch now.

It would be even more interesting if both King Qi and Taisun died.

……

In Jingxiu Palace, Concubine Sun Xian also woke up.

She was awakened by the urge to urinate. She didn't want to sleep until tomorrow in her wet and smelly bedding, so she cried out as hard as she could.

The palace maid who slept on the ground for the night slept very sweetly. I didn't hear Concubine Sun Xian's extremely hoarse voice at all.

When Concubine Sun Xian was angry, she continued to shout. Then he clenched his hands into fists and pounded the bed hard. However, she tried her best, but she couldn't make a loud movement, only the faint sound of slapping.

Concubine Sun Xian's face turned red, suddenly turned white, and then closed her eyes in despair.

It was clammy and cold underneath.

My heart was cold.

What are you doing alive like this? It's better to be clean than dead!

No, she can't die yet.

She still has to save her life, see how King Qi led the troops to force the palace, and killed the wolf-hearted couple of the grandson Gu Guanning! And the weak and useless princess, and the three evil species......

It's good to be dead, to die cleanly.

Her son was dead, and they went down to earth to be with him, and why was he alive?

At this moment, a sharp scream suddenly came.

That scream, suddenly sounded in the quiet dark night, and it was terrifying.

Instead of being afraid, Concubine Sun Xian cheered up, and her eyes lit up.

The palace maid, who was originally asleep, was in the middle of a good dream, and was awakened by this scream, and trembled and flipped up: "What's the matter? Why did someone scream ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, there were several more screams and exclamations.

The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

What's going on, and why is there a sound of killing in the palace?

Concubine Sun Xian laughed silently and happily.

……

Murder and arson have always been linked. The dead soldiers who entered the palace tonight to kill people did not have time to set fires. Their goals are clear.

Yanfu Palace, the grandson and father and son.

When there were many places in the palace and the flames were soaring, the dead soldiers were also quite shocked. However, they did not stop for a short time and continued to run without hesitation.

Xiao Huaiyuan, who led the forbidden army, was also a little stunned when he saw the fires everywhere in the palace.

However, he soon calmed down.

King Qi was far-sighted, and he made up his mind to kill people and seize the palace, and he wanted to have internal responses in the palace.

"There is a fire in the palace, and I don't know who is doing it. Xiao Huaiyuan shouted loudly: "Zhong Erlang will follow me to Yanfu Palace to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Taisun." ”

A group of Praetorian guards behind him agreed with a bang.

The Xu guard, who was following behind Xiao Huaiyuan, also responded loudly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. Under the reflection of the firelight, it is terrifying.
