Chapter 524: The Big Wedding (2)
The square of the Qianyang Palace was full of corpses, the fighting was fierce, and the blood stained the gray and white stone surface.
The forbidden troops around Prince Shun became fewer and fewer, and they retreated step by step, and when they retreated under the palace walls, there was no way to retreat, and there were no reinforcements at the palace gate to meet them.
In the end, the fighting stopped, and the arrows were fired.
Prince Shun had already understood that the plan was leaked at this time, and he thought that Huang Yuan must be the obstacle, so he mocked him when he saw this: "This is your loyal emperor!" This king has said that no matter what, you will only die! β
After saying that, he pushed him in front of him and blocked the arrows.
Huang Yuan let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
However, the moment the curtain was covered, a red cloud floated in a trance, with an intoxicating fragrance, just like the fragrance of flowers and plants in March in this spring, or the freshest smell emitted in the early morning.
His heart jumped, and he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the woman in a big red wedding dress and a phoenix crown with a whip in one hand, dancing impermeably and knocking down the chaotic arrows; With a sword in one hand, he stabbed at the guards and ministers beside Prince Shun one after another; He also shouted loudly, "Stop me!" β
The shout was shouted to the forbidden army under Jiu'er.
Beside her was Ma Linchun, who was holding a spear.
He guarded her and was responsible for knocking down all the arrows that came at her.
When Emperor Yanwei saw the cuckoo, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't hurt the princess!" β
Jiu'er also shouted, "Stop."
So, the forbidden army stopped shooting arrows and killed them again.
The cuckoo did not stop, and was still killing the rebels.
Huang Yuan's heart was relieved, and a taste of astringency and bitterness gushed out, but a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. He stood there for a long time. Admire her murderous demeanor.
As she watched, she raised her sword and stabbed at him. There was a lot of anger in his eyes.
He was startled and shrunk his neck. Holding his head in his hands, he blurted out: "Cuckoo! β
However, there was no expected coolness and pain from the sword, but a muffled snort sounded behind him. Turning his head to look, he saw Prince Shun holding the sword in his hand, gritting his teeth and looking behind him, "Good niece!" The tip of the sword had pierced into his chest, and the hilt was in the cuckoo's hand, and she was still pushing forward.
Huang Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth twice, feeling that this scene was very inconsistent.
Anyway, it was also her fifth uncle. Moreover, today is the day of her wedding, wearing a red wedding dress to kill people, and killing elders, it's really not good!
He set his eyes on Lin Chun, as if condemning him, "Shouldn't a man come forward to kill someone?" β
Lin Chun glanced at him, ignoring his hints and only paying attention to his surroundings.
As everyone knows, the hatred in the cuckoo's heart is surging.
If it weren't for Prince Shun's thief's undying heart, where would there be this chaos!
If you want to say that the prince is competing for the throne, it is inevitable. But her father has already ascended the throne, and he is justifiably obedient to the edict of the Emperor Taishang, and Prince Shun will rebel, that is, the crime is unforgivable!
Many people were implicated in this rebellion. He caused all these iniquities.
So she was furious and wanted to kill him with her own hands.
However, the accumulated anger was amused by Huang Yuan's frightened appearance of hugging his head and shrinking his neck, and as soon as his strength was released, the strength in his hands was relaxed. The long sword didn't actually pierce deep into Prince Shun's chest.
Prince Shun gripped the long sword on his chest with one hand, and blood flowed from his fingers. Staring at the cuckoo, he said repeatedly: "Okay! Good! It's a pity you're not a man. β
The Dragon Guards have restrained the few remaining rebels, and the tide is over.
At this time, Emperor Yanwei descended from the imperial palace. came over and shouted, "Jing'an, stop!" β
One motioned to Jiu'er and escorted Prince Shun and other prisoners.
Lin Chun then held the cuckoo's hand, and pulled out the long sword with all his might, bringing out a puddle of blood.
Prince Shun staggered back, covered the bloody wound with one hand, set his eyes on Emperor Yanwei who was walking over, and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, you really raised a good girl, hooked a few civil and military generals at once, and would rather die than be loyal to you." It's really worth raising such a girl! β
Emperor Yanwei was already full of anger, and his eyes were even colder when he heard this, so he didn't pay attention to Prince Shun at all, and only shouted to Jiu'er: "Shut him up and put him on death row!" No one is allowed to visit! β
Jiu'er hugged his fists, and then led people to escort the remnants of the rebel party away.
When a forbidden army came to pull Huang Yuan, Du Juan stepped forward and glared, "What do you want to do?" β
The forbidden soldier raised his eyes and swept her, and then he took two steps back in shock, "Your Royal Highness Princess......"
was both shocked by her sternness and her beauty, and did not know how to respond.
Emperor Yanwei said in a deep voice: "Jing'an, you don't want to meddle in this matter again. The auspicious time has arrived, if you don't hurry back, you will miss the time to get on the sedan chair later. β
The cuckoo saw the indifference and decisiveness in his eyes, which was completely different from the usual father.
She "chuckled" in her heart, understanding that he really wanted to kill Huang Yuan, but she didn't save him.
She approached Emperor Yanwei and asked seriously, "Father, what is Huang Yuan's crime to be imprisoned and tried?" If he hadn't told us in advance that Prince Shun was going to rebel, we wouldn't have been able to eradicate the hidden danger so smoothly. How, in the end, he has no merit and is being held accountable? Erchen really doesn't understand. β
Emperor Yan Wei said coldly: "Do you know that Huang Li really wanted to assassinate me before? β
The cuckoo lost his voice and said, "This is impossible! Father, you have to believe Huang Yuan. β
Emperor Yanwei said: "I believe in him! β
The cuckoo said: "Then why didn't my father let him go?" β
Emperor Yanwei said: "I can't trust myself!" β
Du Juan Qi said: "This ...... What do you mean? β
Emperor Yanwei said: "This time I believe him, and the next time there is such a thing, I dare not guarantee that I will believe him!" Prince Shun used this matter to turn against him, who knows that other people will not? Even the spies of the enemy country will. I'm not an immortal, and I can't see it every time. β
The cuckoo was dumbfounded and thought the logic was ridiculous.
At this time, Huang Li rushed over, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried: "The emperor killed the people's daughter." It was because I was confused that I listened to Prince Shun's words. My brother didn't know anything about this. Please, Emperor, kill me, let my brother go......"
Cuckoo wanted to stop it, but it was too late, she said it all.
Emperor Yan Wei looked down at Huang Li and said coldly: "Kill you, isn't there still a yellow bird!" You're so clever that you've been instigated. If it's Huang Que'er, Huang Xiaobao. Huang Xiaoshun, Huang Zigui. And your stupid and stupid father and stubborn grandmother, aren't they more likely to be provoked? It's still that Huang Yuan is dead and clean, and others have no hope, so naturally they won't look for you. β
Huang Li screamed: "No! Your Majesty, it's all my fault......"
Thinking that it was useless to cry like this, he crawled in front of the cuckoo, hugged her legs, and cried on his back: "Second sister, I am blind and black-hearted." I just heard the instigation of others, my brother doesn't know anything! Ask the second sister to help my brother intercede and let me die......"
Du Juan held her with tears, patted her on the shoulder, signaled her to be quiet, and then said to Emperor Yanwei: "Father, as the king of a country, you can't punish people for a prediction, for something that didn't happen. There is no such provision in the Dajing Law. β
Emperor Yan Wei said: "Isn't he involved in a rebellion right now!" β
Du Juan said: "But he didn't participate, but he was meritorious." β
Emperor Yanwei said sternly: "Meritorious? Do you know that today's mutiny in the imperial city is only one of them, the soldiers and horses of the western battalion on the outskirts of Beijing have been pressed out of the city, and there are also rebels in Feihu Pass? Prince Shun united the Zheng family and dozens of other generals. It almost turned my country upside down. If I hadn't noticed it earlier, how could I have resolved this crisis by only telling Huang Yuan last night? β
The cuckoo was sluggish at first. Then shouted: "That's all done by Prince Shun, how can they let Huang Yuan bear all the blame?" β
Emperor Yan Wei said: "What about the yellow bird? If she had been allowed to assassinate her as planned. Nine times out of ten, I'll kill her hand, because it's so unexpected. It's hard to prevent. I still shudder when I think about it now. β
Du Juan said with difficulty: "Isn't this a thorn, but it also proves Huang Yuan's loyalty." β
Emperor Yanwei's face sank like water, and said: "I said, I can only believe him this time, and I will not believe it next time, and I can't believe it!" β
The cuckoo hurriedly said: "Since my father believes, why should he punish him?" β
Emperor Yanwei said softly: "I want him to die!" However, I will not punish him for the crime of rebellion, I will tell the world, saying that he deliberately agreed to participate in the rebellion in order to lure Prince Shun to be exposed, but unfortunately he was killed by an arrow in the chaos of killing the rebels. After his death, I will make him a marquis, and Huang Zigui will succeed him. Huang Yuan, are you convinced? β
Huang Yuan stepped forward, knelt on the ground and thanked him: "Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" β
Cuckoo, Huang Li and Lin Chun were all stunned, not knowing how to react.
After Huang Yuan finished thanking him, Du Juan woke up and said excitedly: "Reward!" No matter how many rewards and high rewards are dead, no matter how good they areβ"
As she screamed, tears poured down her face.
Huang Yuan looked up at her, his eyes were calm and soft, and said softly, "The princess doesn't have to be like this. The cuckoos have committed suicide, Huang Yuan, it is time to die too! β
When the cuckoo heard the big earthquake, he trembled and asked, "You...... You ......"
But he couldn't say a word.
Her mood was like a river overturning, and her eyes were dark.
She once faked suicide, but she really broke off her past life; Huang Yuan said that he should die too, is it that Li Dun has already come, and he has come to the cuckoo who can't find him, so he also asks for death?
She didn't dare look him in the eye, she didn't dare to ask.
She couldn't see clearly, and tears blurred her eyes.
Lin Chun also understood Huang Yuan's words, and held the cuckoo.
He comforted her and whispered in her ear: "Please the emperor." β
The cuckoo knelt down towards Emperor Yanwei and cried: "Father, no matter what, the Huang family has the grace of saving lives and nurturing for his sons, and his father disposed of him today, and my sons will not be able to feel at ease in the future." Ask your father to spare him......"
Emperor Yanwei bent down, grabbed the cuckoo's arms and dragged him up.
The cuckoo didn't get up, and cried desperately, "Father, the emperor's mercy!" β
Emperor Yanwei said in a deep voice: "Juan'er, it's not for your father to be ruthless. Being a father is not only your father, but also the son of heaven! Many years ago, my father was as affectionate as you, but that kind of father was unbearable to be the king, so he resigned as the crown prince; Now that my father has returned and ascended to this throne, he will no longer be swayed by one person. Huang Yuan, you must die! β
The cuckoo heard in despair and shouted, "Then you can kill me." If you kill your son, your father will be perfect, and your achievements in this life will definitely far surpass that of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Jingzu of Tang!! β
Emperor Yan Wei's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he glared at Huang Yuan fiercely, as if he blamed him for making his daughter sad.
Then, he shouted angrily at Lin Chun: "Lin Chun, you are so bold! Did you bring the princess here? Don't leave with the princess yet! β
Lin Chun took the opportunity to kneel down and kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen's words: Huang Yuan's death is not a pity, but I beg Your Majesty to spare him, don't ruin the father-daughter relationship with the princess for him, it's not worth it." β
Emperor Yanwei said angrily: "Bold! Do you dare to accuse me? β
Huang Li first obediently waited for the cuckoo to intercede, but when he saw that the emperor did not enter the oil and salt, he was also desperate.
She picked up the sword from the ground and wiped it around her neck.
At this time, there were only four or five secret guards in the local area, such as Emperor Yanwei, Gonggong Qiu, Huang Yuan, Du Juan, Lin Chun, Huang Li, and Qin Yi, and the dragon guards all retreated to the distance and commanded the eunuchs to clean up the corpses in the square.
Qin Yi saw Huang Li's movements, and hurriedly stopped her and knocked out her long sword.
Emperor Yanwei rebuked Huang Li harshly: "You dare to threaten me with death? β
Huang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to grab his sister and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you so reckless? You don't think your brother died fast enough, do you? Is it not enough to think that the Huang family is dead, and one brother is not enough? β
Huang Li threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Huang Yuan hugged her and whispered to comfort and dissuade.
Seeing that such a plea was ineffective, Du Juan was shocked, such a father was something she had never seen before. She then realized that the person in front of her was not only her father, but also the emperor. The royal power is supreme, and even his children must never anger him. Today, Prince Shun's rebellion has angered him, and Huang Li's behavior has also angered him, and it is useless for her to ask for it.
She is not a strong person who can't bend, so she no longer contradicts sarcasm, but instead hugs Emperor Yanwei's legs, looks up and cries: "Father, father, please spare Huang Yuan this time for my mother's sake." If my mother was alive and knew that she had worked so hard to give birth to me, it was precisely because of Huang Yuan that she had a chance to live, and she would not have let him die. Father, good father......"
She was crying in her mouth, and she was still smiling on her face, because she remembered that Ren Sanhe said that she laughed like her mother, so she laughed, hoping that the emperor would soften his heart when he saw this smiling face, and then spare Huang Yuan.
Emperor Yanwei really couldn't stand it anymore, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Emperor! β
Just when the cuckoo thought he had succeeded, he hugged her and whispered to Qin Yi: "Qin Yi, don't do it yet!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yi stepped forward, shook off a piece of white silk, and the two secret guards took him up, covering Huang Yuan, and followed the other two secret guards to the back of the white silk......
Huang Yuan took one last look at the cuckoo, and then looked at Lin Chun.
That gaze seemed to say, take good care of her.
Lin Chun looked at him in a trance, unable to believe all this.
Today is the day of his wedding, if Huang Yuan dies, how can he get married?
Only then did he understand what kind of daughter he was marrying and what kind of father-in-law he had!
The cuckoo realized that something was wrong and struggled: "Father, the emperor ......"
Emperor Yanwei hugged her desperately, and Qin Yi also came up to help.
Lin Chun and Huang Li were stopped by Gonggong Qiu and looked at the white curtain.
Even if they can push Gonggong Qiu away, what's the use?
When the cuckoo saw the two secret guards carrying an object wrapped in white silk and leaving, there was no shadow of Huang Yuan in the local area, and she couldn't bear it anymore, "Ahh
The oriole also fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
The dragon guards and eunuchs in the distance all looked at this side, whispering.
Soon, they heard the news that Huang Hanlin had been shot by an arrow in the chaos and died.
"No wonder the princess cries like that!"
"Alas, pitiful, the champion of the three yuan and the first is less than twenty!"
"A once-in-a-millennium talent!"
β¦β¦
In the distance, at the gate of the Qianyang Palace, the courtiers all poured out and stood quietly.
Lin Chun stared blankly at the majestic Qianyang Hall reflected in the sky, like a devouring beast. (To be continued......)
