Chapter 101: The Trap

A shadow guard came to report to the emperor: "Soon after the queen returned to Kunning Palace, King Shun came out of the palace and went out of the palace. The shadow guard saluted and left.

The emperor sneered a few times: "This is my queen and son, I can't hope that I will die soon." The concubine looked at the emperor with worried eyes.

"What I don't want to give, no one can snatch it, whoever comes to rob it will die. He threw down the chess pieces in his hand: "Shadow Guard, call Fang Lin to come." ”

After a while, Fang Lin hurriedly walked up to the Moon Viewing Pavilion, and he respectfully saluted the emperor and the concubine: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

The emperor stood up and walked in front of Fang Lin: "The queen is here to see how my injuries are, and King Shun has left the palace after getting the news." Presumably they will soon be making a move. You put shadow guards in the Princess's Mansion, Shun Wang's Mansion, and Enguo's Mansion, and they will report any movement immediately. ”

"Obey the order!"

The emperor continued in an indifferent tone: "Equip all the Praetorian Guards with bows and arrows, and as long as someone leads the team close to Zhaoyang Palace, shoot them on the spot immediately. ”

"Minister...... Obey!" Fang Lin's cold sweat broke out from his head.

The emperor glanced at him a few times: "Do you think I am cruel?"

"No, no, the minister is thinking that the palace is going to bleed. ”

The emperor said lightly: "The king is angry and ambushes millions of corpses. I'm just protecting myself now. ”

"Please forgive your Majesty for the kindness of a woman for a while. Fang Lin knelt down.

"To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. Neither you nor I want to be killed, so kill them. ”

Fang Lin replied firmly, "Obey the order!" and he took the order.

The emperor sat opposite the concubine and said in a gentle tone: "Concubine Ai is frightened, right? Don't be afraid, I will protect you and the child." ”

The concubine stood up and walked to the emperor's side, and gently hugged the emperor: "Ailang, the concubine believes in you." As long as you can be with Ailang, the concubine is fine. ”

"The high position is unbearable, sometimes I really want to be a civilian couple with my concubine, and travel the mountains and rivers hand in hand. ”

"The concubine body is also willing to follow Ailang like this, as long as there is you, everywhere is the realm. ”

When the emperor hugged the concubine, his heart was relaxed for a moment: "It's good to have you as a concubine." ”

The dusty concubine saw a kitten passing by at the stairs of the Moon Viewing Pavilion. She thought to herself: Isn't this Feng Ling's little white cat?

Feng Ling's kitten has not been idle in the past two days, and she was first called by Feng Ling to send a letter to the prince. Bai Yue saw the shadow guard delivering the letter on the way, and she beckoned two leopards to chase after the shadow guard, and his horse was so frightened that he threw off his master and ran away without a trace.

Seeing that the shadow guard was chased by the leopard, Bai Yue grinned and ran towards the place where the army was stationed. Her brother ran over the hill to pick her up, and when he saw his sister in the daytime, he said cheerfully, "Sister, you are here again." ”

Bai Yue took her brother's hand: "Brother, we are about to reunite." The master asked me to send a letter to the prince's master, saying that King Shun was going to besiege the palace. ”

"The eldest princess's messenger hasn't come yet. ”

"Hee-hee, the messenger was on the way, and I summoned two leopards chasing him and scared his horse away. ”

Bai Ri touched his sister's head: "My sister is so smart." ”

Bai Yue saw the crown prince and handed over the letter written by Feng Ling. After reading the letter, the prince said to Bai Yue: "You hurry back to protect your master, the palace is very dangerous these days." Say to your master, "I will go back soon." ”

Bai Yue obediently turned around and galloped away, and Bai Sun followed her to see her over the hill before returning.

After Bai Yue returned to the palace, Feng Ling asked Bai Yue to stay by the concubine's side, and quickly informed her as soon as there was any trouble.

Gradually, the news of the emperor's eating pill poisoning spread in Chang'an City, and rumors were fluctuating, and some people began to climb to King Shun.

Zuo Xiang has received news from Chen Yu: The emperor was stabbed and seriously injured, and King Shun will take action recently. Zuo Xiang only gave Chen Yu one word: escape.

Chen Yu took all the valuable things out of the palace by delivering the news to King Shun and put them in a house that Zuo Xiang had prepared for her earlier.

The left and right ministers met, and the two simply discussed and decided: they must find a way to stay by His Majesty's side and get the holy decree of succession.

The shadow guard who was waiting to deliver the letter came back and handed the eldest princess a reply from the English duke: received, leave on the same day, and arrive in three days. ”

The eldest princess immediately sent someone to inform King Shun, and brought people to force the palace three days later. King Shun received the news and ran to the Enguo Mansion, he closed the door and discussed with the Enguo Duke Huang Er Ye for an hour, and then ran to the harem.

He said to the queen: "In three days, you will be the master of the harem, and you can kill whoever you want." ”

The queen laughed excitedly: "Three days later, the palace scraped those two sluts alive, as well as the crown princess who was the enemy of the palace with them." Hmph!"

King Shun said softly: "The queen mother should calm down, and in the afternoon of three days, you will use the queen's token to let people open the gate of the harem." ”

"Okay, it's easy. ”

All of their arrangements were known to His Majesty, and a large net was open, waiting for the prey to run in automatically. People's greed covers the instinctive vigilance, that is, there is a sense of risk in the mind, and when faced with great temptation, it will rise to the luck mentality.

If they don't have a vicious heart, if they can keep their lives in peace, they will be able to enjoy glory and wealth until they grow old, and they will not lose their lives.

Three days later, Chen Yu listened to the queen's words and sent a letter to King Shun. She asked her to hand her a note to the left: noon. Then, the queen never saw Chen Yu again. She asked many times, "What about Chen Yu?" and did Chen Yu come back?" and the answer she received was, "No." ”

Chen Yu's disappearance made the queen feel a little uneasy, but the anticipation and excitement in her heart diluted her vigilance.

It was almost noon, the queen took a group of people to the gate of the harem, and she took the token and asked the guards to open the gate: "Your Majesty is in danger, and a team of defenders has been transferred to escort you." ”

When the guards saw the queen take out the token, they opened the gate without saying a word. In a short time, thousands of sword-wielding men entered through the gate under the leadership of King Shun and Enguo Gong. After a while, twelve shadow guards dressed in black and wearing black scarves carried the eldest princess into the harem gate with swords. Seeing that there was no one behind, the guard slowly closed the door, and then the left and right ministers hurriedly walked in.

They took out a token and handed it to the guard: "There is an urgent military notice Your Majesty." The guard let them in.

It's not that the guards at the gate are easy to fool, but they have already received Fang Lin's order: "At noon today, whoever wants to enter the gate of the harem will let them in." ”

King Shun and his entourage marched to Zhaoyang Palace and met a group of Praetorian Guards who were also armed with swords. The captain of the Praetorian Guard asked, "May I ask what King Shun is doing with so many people in the harem?"

King Shun said domineeringly: "I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated a few days ago, and this king brought the city guards to escort him. ”

The team leader arched his hand and said: "King Shun has taken the wrong path, Your Majesty is now in the Taiji Palace." ”

King Shun was stunned: "Your Majesty is so seriously injured, why did you go to the Taiji Palace?"

The team leader shook his head: "I just took a dozen Praetorian Guards to patrol, how do I know about His Majesty." ”

The eldest princess also heard the emperor's words in the Taiji Palace, and she scolded in her heart: She is dying and tossing non-stop.

The eldest princess motioned for a shadow guard to go and inquire to see if it was true. A group of people waited outside the Zhaoyang Palace.

Feng Ling walked out of the Zhaoyang Palace with a kitten in her arms, and she said in an innocent tone: "Wow, did King Shun bring so many people to protect his father?"

King Shun nodded at her: "Yes, is my father inside?"

No, he went to the Taiji Palace, because the concubine said that the smell of blood was too strong and it smelled uncomfortable. ”

The queen also rushed up with Feng Jia, and just heard what Feng Ling said. She scolded angrily: "Cheap maid, damage the dragon's body like this, go in first and kill her." ”

The eldest princess glanced at the queen and thought: How did this fool survive in the palace until now.

The shadow guard who inquired about the news hurriedly walked out, walked up to the eldest princess and said, "Your Majesty is not inside. ”

Under the leadership of the eldest princess and King Shun, the group walked towards the Taiji Palace. Feng Ling was holding the kitten, and when she saw the left and right sides hurrying over, she whispered to them, "You go with this concubine." ”

Zuo Xiang hurriedly said to Feng Ling: "King Shun is forcing the palace, it is very dangerous. The crown princess stayed away and didn't follow. ”

The right minister was also anxious to say to Feng Ling: "Protect yourself, don't go into danger." ”

Feng Ling asked, "Since you know the danger, still follow along?"

The left and right ministers looked around and whispered to her, "Let's see if we can get His Majesty's decree to inherit the throne, and wait for the prince to come back......"

"You have taken the decree of succession for the crown prince?"

"Yes, yes, there's no hurry. We need to get there. Zuo Xiang urged.

Feng Ling stopped them: "That concubine can't let you go." ”

The right minister was shocked and asked, "Why?"

"You will go with me, and I will tell you as I go. ”

He glanced at each other from left to right, and finally chose to follow Feng Ling and entered the Zhaoyang Palace.
