By the time the door opened again, the back garden had turned into a scorched earth.

There was a steaming heat wave, as if it was burning people's eyebrows. The aroma of the barbecue and the burnt smell of dead leaves are mixed together, making it almost disgusting. Next to the rockery, under the covered bridge, and on the bluestone road, you can see the corpses with twisted limbs and charred black everywhere.

It's almost purgatory on earth.

Among these people who were fortunate enough to escape with the emperor to the secret room and thus escape the catastrophe, there were ministers of civil and military affairs, relatives of the emperor, and it is said that they have seen a lot of people in the market, but none of them were not frightened. There are even a lot of people who can't hold back and vomit directly.

Maybe at the beginning of the secret room, there were still people who were grateful to Zhou Ying, but after facing these enemies who were burned alive, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill and jealousy.

Zhou Ying turned a blind eye, calmly supported the emperor, and walked in front of everyone.

The emperor's eyes when he looked at Zhou Ying were a little complicated, but he just patted the back of Zhou Ying's hand, and he didn't know whether he was helpless and resigned to his fate, or he sighed approvingly in distress.

Ding Tang's subordinates opened the way in front, but Ding Tang didn't dare to go too far from the emperor, and walked all the way to the front yard, only to see a few guards and a scribe standing in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.

Because there were outposts who had been probed, Ding Tang already knew that these people were Zhou Ying's subordinates.

Ding Tang glanced at it, didn't find Huang Qian, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Ying inquiringly.

Zhou Ying did not hide it either, and pointed in the direction of the palace.

The situation was urgent before, and Zhou Ying only had time to tell Huang Qian to go to the palace to report the news, and let Lin Ze go to the back garden to lay out.

The task on Lin Ze's side was completed as scheduled, and the cooperation with Zhou Ying was just right, but Huang Qian's side was unknown.

rebelled, the eldest prince Zhou Lian was the protagonist, but he did not appear today, so the only possibility was that he was attacking the more important palace. And in the palace, there is the only heirloom jade seal that can clear his reputation for rebelling.

If the emperor can personally issue an edict of abdication, it will be the best.

But the pot of poisonous sherbet was given to the emperor at first, but later it was disturbed by Zhou Ying. If there is no accident, the emperor would have died of poison long ago when he exposed his belly with a pot of fruit.

At that time, the queen was ordered to take down the "murderer" Xu Guifei and the five princes, and in the chaos, the five princes and the ministers of the wall-riding faction all died, and the eldest prince Zhou Lian took the jade seal passed to him by the emperor before his death, and ascended to the throne logically, wouldn't it be counted in one fell swoop?

It's a pity that this plan didn't go well from the beginning, and in the end it failed to win the emperor, which has already shown the success of the eldest prince Zhou Lian.

Lin Ze stepped forward and reported the situation to Zhou Ying in a low voice.

The black armor army that attacked the princess's mansion was all annihilated, but the queen and the second princess Zhou Ke took advantage of the chaos to escape.

As for the palace, there is no news yet.

The palace has always been heavily guarded, and today the emperor left the palace and took away half of the guards. On the side of the princess's mansion, it was the queen who cooperated with the Ministry of Rites to take advantage of the loophole and almost kill the emperor. But the guards in the palace have always been in charge of the emperor's henchmen, and the emperor himself has seen them, and water can't be poured at all. Therefore, it was a wise idea for the eldest prince Zhou Lian to attack the palace when the emperor was out of the palace and the palace was empty.

The emperor had his hand in his sleeve, holding a tiger talisman, rubbing the pattern on it, his gaze swept around the courtyard, stopped on Ding Tang for a moment, and then moved away. After all, he was not out of danger now, and the emperor needed Ding Tang to stay by his side and protect his safety.

The emperor looked at Zhou Ying for a last moment, and handed her the tiger talisman, "Go to the camp in Xijing to find General Meng, and ask him to order his 8,000 men and horses, and immediately rush to the palace to eliminate the rebels." ”
