Twelve shadow guards gathered in a remote place, watching the panicked crowd running around the palace, and more and more guards poured in. They exchanged a few words briefly: "Let's hurry up, a large number of shadow guards will arrive in a while, and the twelve of us will not be opponents." ”

A: "I don't know if I've got it." ”

B: "Seeing Fang Lin like this, I'm afraid he has succeeded." ”

C: "How do you report when you go back?"

Ying Wu urged everyone to go: "I'm in charge of reporting, and I'll go to the front to deliver the letter after the matter is completed, time is tight, hurry up." ”

The twelve shadow guards scattered and left the palace. The fastest runner was Shadow Go, who successfully infiltrated the eldest princess's mansion and reported to her that it had been done.

The eldest princess was neatly dressed and had been sitting in the main hall waiting for news. She smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, the plan is going well." ”

She asked Ying Wu: "Is the emperor seriously injured, and how many days can he last?"

Ying Wudao: "The injury is very serious, I heard the eunuch saying that the emperor was covered in blood, and I don't know how many days the emperor will last." ”

"What about the other shadow guards?"

"We scattered and left, they should go back. ”

"You hurry up and send a letter to the front of the battle, and let the British take the army back to Chang'an. After this matter is done, you will be given high-ranking officials. ”

Ying Wu knelt down and hugged his fists and thanked: "I will do my best to handle this matter well." ”

The eldest princess handed Shadow Five a letter, he took it with both hands, put it in his arms, and disappeared without a trace.

Shadow Five, who went to report the news, didn't know that except for him, the other eleven shadow guards were all caught by more than thirty shadow guards and locked up in a secret place.

When the sky was bright, the eleven shadow guards who listened to the order of the eldest princess, they all returned to the shadow guard with black scarves on their faces. Soon, the eldest princess took her son to the shadow guard, and when she saw that many of the eleven shadow guards were lying quietly resting, the two turned around and left.

On this day, His Majesty still left the early dynasty. The ministers were panicked when they saw the eunuch palace goddess running around in the palace, and a team of solemn and neat guards controlled all parts of the palace. The ministers all became nervous in their hearts, thinking, could it be that something really happened to His Majesty.

Those who had some way to inquire about the news paid money to inquire about the news, but found nothing. I only know that Zhaoyang Palace has been surrounded by the Praetorian Guards.

The left and right ministers saw His Majesty for two days and the early dynasty, and the defense in the palace increased, and the secret feeling was not good. The two of them found an opportunity in the political hall and bumped into each other. The left minister took a stack of recitals and said to the right minister: "These recitals are all to be handled by Your Majesty personally, but Your Majesty has been in the morning for two days, and I don't know what happened." ”

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he whispered to Zuo Xiang: "Yesterday, I asked Fang Lin for news, and he said a word: Let Xiangye stay at home and don't go anywhere." ”

Zuo Xiang thought for a while and said, "Is it a plan?"

"I'm afraid so. ”

"We brake statically. ”

"That's the way it can go. ”

The two of them stayed in the government hall and never returned home by handling the recital. They are waiting for the big things that are about to happen.

When King Shun received the news of the eldest princess, he immediately entered the palace and asked the queen to visit the emperor to find out the truth about the emperor's injury. The queen listened to King Shun say: "Last night, twelve shadow guards assassinated my father, and it is said that he was seriously injured. ”

When the queen heard that the emperor had been seriously assassinated, she suddenly panicked, she was sad and joyful, and her complicated mood made her whole body tremble.

King Shun saw that his mother's emotions were a little out of control, and patiently persuaded him: "Queen mother, my father is not only a son and a son, nor is you a wife. He is the father of four or five princes, and the husband of dozens of concubines in the harem. Father and Emperor He doted on Concubine Zhang, in the future, it will be difficult to protect your posterity, and it will be difficult to protect the lives of your sons, so we can only start first to strengthen ......"

The queen was still a little sad, but when she heard that the emperor favored Concubine Zhang, she completely lost her mind, and she said viciously: "Kill that ungrateful and ungrateful lover, and then scrape that slut alive." ”

King Shun nodded: "Erchen has won the throne, and everything is up to you." ”

The queen called Chen Yu, dressed up and changed into court clothes, and then drove Zhaoyang Palace. The queen's phoenix drive was blocked by the Praetorian Guards at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.

A Praetorian Guard stepped forward to salute the queen and said respectfully: "The queen, please come back, Your Majesty has a will, and no one is allowed to enter the Zhaoyang Palace." ”

The queen stretched out her hand to let Chen Yu help her down from the phoenix car, she ignored the obstruction of the Praetorian Guards, and walked towards the Zhaoyang Palace on her own.

All the Praetorian Guards guarding the door said in unison: "Queen Mother, please come back, Your Majesty has a will, and no one is allowed to enter the Zhaoyang Palace." ”

The queen glared angrily: "Presumptuous, this palace is the queen, is the emperor's wife, I heard that the emperor is in distress, I came to greet him." What is your intention to repeatedly prevent this palace from seeing Your Majesty?"

The Praetorian Guard said: "I am just acting on orders. ”

The queen continued to walk inside: "The palace will leave when the emperor is safe." ”

Fang Lin greeted him, he saluted the queen, and whispered to the queen: "The emperor needs to recuperate, please go back." ”

The queen looked at Fang Lin, saw that he looked nervous, and asked, "Your Majesty, is he okay?" ”

Fang Lin hesitated for a moment, and quietly said to the empress: "Your Majesty was assassinated last night, and he was seriously injured, so he has no worries about his life for the time being. ”

The queen asked, "Who will handle the affairs of the DPRK and China?"

"Now it is handled by the prime ministers on the left and right, listening to His Majesty's wishes, he will send someone to pick up the prince back as soon as possible to deal with the government affairs. ”

The queen was expressionless, and thought to herself: Send someone to pick up the prince from the underworld. Hmph, you'll see father and son soon.

The queen remembered what her son had told her: she must see the emperor's injuries with her own eyes.

She insisted on going in: "Since Your Majesty is seriously injured, as the queen, you should serve and greet her." ”

Fang Lin couldn't, so he had to say to the queen: "There are so many people waiting for Your Majesty, just take a look when Niangniang goes in." It is not good for the lower officials to disobey their will. ”

The queen said simply: "Okay, the palace will come out after just one look."

Fang Lin turned around and led the way, and the empress then walked into the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace. A group of palace people all stayed outside the hall and waited.

The queen saw the emperor lying on the bed with a pale face, and there was a strong smell of blood in the room, which made people turn their stomachs and nauseate. The queen endured, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and walked to the bed to carefully examine the emperor's injuries. A blood stain appeared on the emperor's chest, and there was also blood stains on his abdomen.

There were several doctors in the room who looked nervous, and they were discussing in a low voice dispensing medicine. There was also a pile of bloodstained clothes and bedding on the ground that had not been treated.

All this illustrates the fact that the emperor was assassinated and was seriously injured.

The queen got the answer she wanted to know, and she didn't want to stay here any longer. She told the imperial doctor to treat the emperor well, and asked the palace people to serve the emperor well, so she turned around and hurriedly walked out of Zhaoyang Palace without looking back under the pretext of not disturbing the emperor's rest.

When Chen Yu helped the queen to walk up to the phoenix car, the queen always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her from afar, and she felt uncomfortable. She sat on the phoenix and looked around, but she didn't notice anyone around.

The emperor and the concubine were drinking tea and playing Go in the Moon Pavilion of the annex building of Zhaoyang Palace. The Moon Pavilion of Zhaoyang Palace is built on the back side of the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, and this Moon Pavilion is three rooms high. The first floor is the study and painting room of the concubine, the second floor is the piano room, with various musical instruments, and the third floor is the chess room, where His Majesty and the concubine often drink tea and play chess, and climb high and overlook.

They often come to the third floor to watch the moon when the moon is full, and once on the night of the fifteenth full moon, His Majesty also swore eternal life and eternal love with the concubine in this building.

The emperor saw the queen coming from afar in the chess room of the Moon Viewing Pavilion, saw her forcibly enter the Zhaoyang Palace, and saw her leave with a happy face. The emperor's cold eyes kept staring at the queen, seeing that she was uncomfortable, and hurriedly left Zhaoyang Palace.
