Lan Daoist never dreamed that Emperor Huiping would actually lay an ambush here.
Since Emperor Huiping fell ill, Lan Daoist has been in and out of the Lama Hall dozens of times, he has lived here for several years, and knows how many forbidden troops are deployed here, how many people are outside the Lama Temple, knows the strength of their defenses, and knows the time of their shifts...... All the qiΔ, even the eunuchs and palace maids who came and went, he had a clear grasp of them.
There are not many Tsing Yi guards guarding the Yonghe Palace, and Emperor Huiping has sent a lot of them to investigate outside at his instigation, and the remaining two or three people are transparent to him, and as early as yesterday, they have died under his sword.
Originally, the commander of the forbidden army guarding Emperor Huiping was a rough man, and he had been sent elsewhere, so he should have thought that the Lama Temple was safe and sound and would not return too soon.
There should be no defenses in this hall!
But why did this sword appear?
Between the lightning and flint, the Lan Daoist had already flown back, and then saw the person behind the soft tent - a cold young man who had never seen before, with a pitch-black long sword in his hand, engraved with strange patterns. His swift leaping figure fell into his eyes, and Lan Daoist soon knew that this person's ability was slightly weaker than his own.
If he wants a quick solution, he is not very sure.
But if there is a delay, the queen's arrangement may not last long. The Lama Temple is the Lama Temple, no matter how others put people in the hands and how they calculate and deploy, he is still in the hands of Emperor Huiping, and the most important thing they value is the safety of Emperor Huiping. I am afraid that when the movement in the temple spreads, there should be an influx of forbidden troops.
Lan Daoist did not dare to take it lightly and fought hard.
However, the difference in strength was too small, and he couldn't tell the difference between the superior and inferior within a dozen moves, he was anxious, pursed his lips, and looked forward to the little Taoist priests in the side hall behind him to come to help-even then, the matter could no longer be covered, but he had no choice.
The side hall resounded one after another with the sound of Ying He, and Lan Daoist tried his best to deal with the cold young man in front of him, while feeling relieved by the sound of Ying He outside.
This slight distraction suddenly penetrated his back, and led him straight forward, staring deeply at the thick red lacquer pillar of the five people. The pain in his heart hit, and Daoist Lan turned his head in shock, and saw a man slowly walking out from behind the tall camphor bookshelf opposite Emperor Huiping.
The same cold young man, holding a crossbow in his hand, looked at him Mu Ran.
On the sickbed, Emperor Huiping also sat up slowly, and also looked at him blankly.
"Your Majesty......" he shouted, and for a while he only felt that the world was turned upside down.
Emperor Huiping trusted him wholeheartedly, and he was always the Taoist priest who was the most able to figure out his thoughts. The most taboo thing for Emperor Huiping is that the person holding the sword is always too close to him. But now, at some point, he had set up an ambush, hiding behind his bed tent with a long sword in hand, and standing opposite him with a crossbow in hand.
Isn't he afraid that any one of them will have a different idea and take his life in an instant?
He didn't never...... Do you all listen to your own words?
Too many questions pressed on his chest, and the blood flowed out as the wound swirled. He heard the screams of the little Taoist priests outside, the scolding of the forbidden army and the panicked cries of the little eunuchs.
He felt that the one that he had spent eight years trying to plan and weave was all over.
At the end of his life, he stared straight at Emperor Huiping, and behind his puzzled gaze suddenly swelled up with monstrous hatred.
"You're from Leyang." Emperor Huiping didn't know whether he was weak after pretending to be sick for a long time, or he was exhausted by the rebellion of the Lan Daoist, and his expression was a kind of defeat after his faith was shattered, "Always?" β
"Prince Zhaoming......" Daoist Lan suddenly tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Even if you ascend to the throne, you will never be as bright as him." β
The people on the red-lacquered pillars were weak, and the blood dripped on the black and shiny gold bricks, exuding a fishy smell.
Emperor Huiping sat on the couch in a dejected manner, as if he had been drained of his strength in an instant, and became a real patient - for eight years, he trusted this Taoist priest with all his heart, lectured with him on the scriptures, and sought the principle of reincarnation. The trust in him surpassed that of any person, including Xu Yan and the queen.
However, the eight-year deed turned out to be just a game, and from beginning to end, this dusty Taoist priest was just laying out.
If it weren't for Xu Yan accidentally discovering his dealings with the eldest princess of Leyang, if it weren't for Xu Yan sending people to quietly enter the palace without all the eyes and ears, would he, Chengping, and Duan Bao all die quietly under his hands like the three imperial doctors at this time?
Emperor Huiping, who had been pretending to be sick for many days, became more and more old.
Even in the face of the conclusive evidence that Xu Yan came up with, he refused to believe the rebellion of Daoist Lan, until Daoist Lan killed the imperial doctor lightly just now and pointed the dagger at his throat.
There are not many things in this world that can be believed, and now and now, it seems that there are fewer of them.
What is missing is not only Lan Daoist, but also many things that have been discussed with him.
In the end, it was the fifth prince Xu Chengping who broke the silence, and looked at Emperor Huiping who looked disgraced on the imperial couch cautiously and worriedly, "Father, are you okay?" β
Emperor Huiping raised his head, looked at his increasingly mature face, and finally felt a little warmth, "Just now, you were very good." β
"The child is just afraid that his father's dragon will be damaged." The fifth prince never invited merit and loyalty like the crown prince and the king of Wei, but bowed his head a little shyly, "But my father has a perfect plan, but the sons are too worried." β
"That's also your filial piety." Emperor Huiping patted him on the shoulder, and his gaze turned to Duan Bao, "How is it outside?" β
"The Great Commander should have restrained those Taoist priests." Duan Bao was cautious, "It's just that someone reported just now that the queen mother urgently summoned the prince into the palace, and also invited Lord Shoufu, and the forbidden troops around the Lama Hall were also transferred by her, and there are ......"
"What else?" Emperor Huiping's tone was calm, as if he couldn't see through the queen's calculations.
"Shoufu has already drawn up an edict there, and it is in the hands of the queen."
"Hmm." Emperor Huiping nodded, "Call someone in to clean up." Then he put on his shoes and socks and went down, put on the coat that Duan Bao had put on his hands, and walked out slowly.
Shen Ming hid in the dark again after cleaning up the Lan Daoist, but at this time he stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in the prison, do you still need to arrange manpower?" β
Emperor Huiping was reminded by him, and couldn't help but skip a beat, and raised his voice to call the commander Tian Kuo to enter and hand him the gold medal, "The two of you go to the prison together, but if anyone assists everyone in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to escape, cut it first and then play." Also, immediately strictly check the inside and outside of the palace, block all the palace gates inside and outside, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of the eldest princess Leyang! β
-- Since Lan Daoist is serving the eldest princess of Leyang, after killing the king, someone should always preside over the overall situation in the palace.
This person is naturally none other than the eldest princess of Leyang.
I'm afraid that the eldest princess of Leyang at this time is already standing not far from herself.
Then, dig three feet into the ground, and find out that vicious woman too!
Emperor Huiping summoned the Tsing Yi guard here again to come in and finish the order, and then he remembered something, "The prince hasn't entered the palace yet?" β
"After the queen mother discussed with Lan Daoshi, it has been almost an hour since the decree was delivered, and there is no news yet, I don't know ......" Duan Bao looked up cautiously, knowing that Emperor Huiping's current love was too volatile, and he didn't dare to ask for hardship.
Emperor Huiping just sneered, "The Empress won't be so careless, Daoist Lanβ" He glanced back at the Dao robe nailed to the pillar, closed his eyes and said the second half of the sentence, "It won't succeed." β
Sure enough, within half an hour, the crown prince Xu Chengen stumbled in, his body was injured, and his clothes were also messy, and he shouted loudly before he reached the door of the Lama Palace: "Father!" Father! β
At this time, the Lama Temple has been cleaned up by the guards who are quick to do it, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface. The news that the crown prince got was that Emperor Huiping was already dying, and when he saw Emperor Huiping standing at the door of the Lama Temple, he was like seeing a ghost for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "Father! Father and emperor save his son! β
"How?" Emperor Huiping paced out and stood in the sun.
"Erchen, Erchen heard that his father was seriously ill and wanted to enter the palace to ask for peace, who knew that Chengtianmen had been blocked, and Erchen entered the palace from Yong'an Gate, who knew that someone had ambushed a sergeant there and wanted to kill Erchen!" The crown prince stepped forward on his knees and hugged Emperor Huiping's thigh, "Erchen remembers the dragon body of this father, and he can escape here desperately." β
"Someone dares to assassinate the prince?" Emperor Huiping muttered and looked down at the crown prince.
The crown prince knew Emperor Huiping's obsession with the imperial concubine, and knew his almost paranoid favor for him, so he burst into tears at the moment, "My father is critically ill, but Uncle Duanhuang is leading the troops in the name of counterrebellion." You also know his ability to deliver the news, but I'm afraid this time, he wants to kill his son and replace him! β
Don't forget to bite Xu Yan at this time?
Emperor Huiping smiled weakly, "I'm okay here, you-" didn't want the prince to leave the palace to make changes, so he said: "First go to the Yongfu Palace to greet the concubine." Duan Bao sent a decree to block Zhaoren Palace, telling her to repent internally and take back the golden book and golden seal, but not to abolish the queen's position. Without my will, she was not allowed to meet the prince. β
- Although the queen's behavior is really hateful, at this juncture, if Mrs. Huo is mixed with it recently, it will really add to the chaos.
In the evening, Shen Ming, who was dressed in the service of the forbidden army, came back to restore his life, and reported that there were indeed people in the prison who intended to indulge in Cui Che and others who were Ning Yuanhou, and Tian Kuo escorted the prisoner back on the spot and disposed of a few people who resisted fiercely. Tian Kuo went back to the palace first because he was worried about the palace, and asked Shen Ming to squat there for two hours, and then come back after confirming that he was okay.
As soon as he finished reporting here, Tian Kuo hurried in.
Emperor Huiping saw that he didn't bring anyone here, and his expression was faintly anxious, "Where Leyang is, there is still no movement?" β
"The minister has already sent people to search all over the palace and outside, but no trace of the eldest princess Leyang has been found. However, trustworthy soldiers have been sent to all parts of the palace gate, and the concubine has also ordered the palaces to be closed and not allowed to come and go. Yichen speculated that if the eldest princess was in the palace, she would not be able to hide for too long. β
"She must be in the palace." Emperor Huiping thought a lot about it, and he was almost sure of the plan of the eldest princess of Leyang, "You must step up your defense tonight!" β
