Chapter 41: Assassination, Mutiny

The more Wei Zhang thought about it, the more anxious he became, but the inner courtyard of the palace was by no means a place for him to come and go casually.

After walking around the room a few times, he suddenly turned and walked out. Seeing this, the spear chief hurriedly followed and asked, "General, do you want to prepare horses?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Zhang answered and strode out of the study.

Seeing the solemn look on the general's face, the spear didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly trotted out of the gang and ordered someone to take the black wind out, and handed the reins to Wei Zhang's hand.

After Wei Zhang rode out of the general's mansion, he went straight to the Zhenguo Mansion.

He guessed that this was Emperor Hu's great disgust with the children of the clan, so King Cheng's father and son would definitely not rush into the palace. Compared with the Chengwang Mansion, the Zhenguo Mansion is much better. The eldest princess Ning Hua is the emperor's beloved sister, and the prince of Zhenguo is a loyal minister.

Besides, the Zhenguo Mansion has always been in charge of the military, but it has never interfered in the defense of the capital and the palace. If something happens in the palace, the emperor naturally can't blame the Zhenguo Mansion, so it is safer for the Zhenguo Mansion to come forward at this time.

At this time, Yao Yanyu had simply finished washing, and watched the personal palace maids of Xiangzhi and Su Concubine lay the new futon on a narrow couch carved from agarwood, which was not old.

Because it was a temporary room, there was no big bed, and this narrow couch was less than three feet wide, enough for one person to lie down.

Charming took off Yao Yanyu's brocade crown and put it on the small table on the side, scattered her black hair, and took out a horn comb from the small purse she carried to pass her hair. It is Yao Yanyu's habit to say it a hundred times before going to bed every night, and it has never stopped.

After the concubine's palace maid helped clean up, she quit the court. Xiang Zhi spread another pair of futon bedding on the ground, ready to take turns with Wumei on duty.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the entire Zichen Palace was heavily guarded. In the middle of the night, everything was silent, except for the whining of the wind blowing on the window paper.

After Wu Mei finished speaking for Yao Yanyu, Fang turned to her, wanting to remove her robe, but Yao Yanyu waved her hand: "No need, the emperor's condition is unstable, maybe there will be another successor over there in a while, this time I will take it off, and wait for the third watch in the middle of the night to increase the panic." ”

"But...... The official robe is cumbersome, and the lady will become more and more tired when she wears it. Ume whispered.

"It doesn't matter." Yao Yanyu said, got up and walked to the front of the couch, flicked her long sleeves, slowly lay down, and instructed Xiangzhi and Wumei: "You guys also sleep." ”

The two maids answered, one turned to put out the light, and the other had moved over the pillow and was ready to lie down.

Yao Yanyu was already very tired at this time, but she didn't feel a trace of sleepiness when lying on the unfamiliar couch.

By this time, she had almost understood what was happening in Zichen Palace, and it was unknown what would happen to Concubine Xian.

This trick is tragic to lose the car and protect the handsome, I really don't know if the four princes of Lu Dao can report the mother concubine in exchange for a bright future.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the clearer my thoughts became, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.

She touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen with one hand, thinking that the little life there had been nearly four months, and it was growing hard and tenaciously, and a warm current surged in her heart.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, Mother will definitely give you a clear sky, block out the wind and rain, and let you grow up happily until your wings are full. As soon as she silently recited these words in her heart, Yao Yanyu suddenly smelled a faint sweetness.

Not good! Someone is plotting! She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and reached out to grab a hosta beside the pillow and threw it towards the incense.

Ume slept first, and although Xiangzhi was lying there, she kept trying not to sleep, listening to her master's movements. Although a little confused, but was smashed by the hairpin immediately sobered up, following Yao Yanyu for so long, after so many things, Xiangzhi also developed a vigilant temperament, she was awake at the same time and smelled the sweet smell and knew that it was a misty fragrance, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, and then reached out to cover Wumei's nose.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Ume woke up from her sleep with a dreamlike snort, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the movement of the incense sprout, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded.

At this time, Yao Yanyu had already taken out the awakening pill from her purse, put it in her mouth, and threw two to Xiang Zhi.

The two maids didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the pills in their respective mouths and resumed their breathing. And lie down slowly, pretending to be asleep.

The sweet taste makes them drowsy, but the slight bitterness of the mint flavor in their mouths keeps them awake.

Yao Yanyu has improved her eyesight and hearing several times since she followed Qingyunzi's old way to rest the supreme heart method. In her spare time, she had tried, and if she could concentrate on holding her breath, she would be even sharper than Wei Zhang.

At this time, her whole mind was focused on the carved small window, the window of the shadow gauze had been scalded with incense, and then a very thin bamboo pipe reached through the hole, blowing this sweet smoke into the room.

The smoke blew for no more than three or four breaths before it stopped, but the people outside were not in a hurry to come in, but waited for the people inside to fall asleep completely.

Yao Yanyu looked at the starlight on the window with a slightly sideways face, and she could even hear the two people who were together whispering, counting the time.

After about a stick of incense, Xiao Xuan's window was gently pushed open from the outside, and a black shadow jumped in quickly.

Xiang Zhi and Umei had ten thousand thoughts to jump up to protect Madame, but they both stubbornly suppressed each other and did not move. Because they know that as long as they move, let the other party find that the drug is not working, the lady will be extremely dangerous. At this time, the thief was unguarded, but it brought them some life.

The blade in the hand of the man was very small, but it was a dagger a foot long. And the target is also very direct, not the two maids sleeping on the ground, but the judgment of Yao Yuan on the narrow couch.

Yao Yanyu closed her eyes, and only by hearing felt the danger approaching step by step, but she did not move.

The man in black quietly approached the front of the couch, looked at the sleeping woman on the couch wearing a second-grade medical robe by the faint starlight, and slowly raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed Yao Yanyu's heart violently.

With the strength of a person with martial arts to stab down with seven or eight points of strength, this foot-long dagger will inevitably penetrate the opponent's heart, killing him instantly.

However, things always happen in a split second.

At the same time as the dagger stabbed down, the person on the narrow couch suddenly moved.

The man in black didn't even see how she moved, and the knife penetrated the futon and plunged into the agarwood couch.

And before he could pull out the dagger, he heard a very slight sound of breaking wind, and at the same time, the golden light flashed, and his shoulder felt like a mosquito bite, and the whole person went soft.

Xiangzhi and Wumei got up angrily, one holding a handkerchief in his hand, and the other holding a sweat towel in his hand, and came forward to gag and tie up people.

It's all pretty fast, and there's no movement from start to finish.

Yao Yanyu got up from the other side of the narrow couch, straightened her collar, flicked her sleeves, and sneered and stepped forward to look at the dumbfounded but powerless guy who was at the mercy of the two little maids, and smiled faintly but didn't say a word.

Tie up this person and stuff it under the narrow couch, Yao Yanyu gave the two maids another look.

Wumei raised her hand and pushed the incense plant, and the fragrance gave an 'ah' in surprise, and then stopped moving.

The figure outside the window moved, and several crickets sounded.

Yao Yanyu didn't know the code set by these people, so she had to stand still.

Sure enough, after a few more shouts outside the window, there was no echo, and then there was silence. It was quiet for a while, obviously the other party was unwilling or too confident, but seeing that Xiao Xuan's window was pushed open again, a dark shadow jumped in.

This time, Yao Yanyu did not lie down, but sat cross-legged on the couch.

The man in black was startled when he came in, and he was relieved when he saw the two maids lying on the floor as if they were asleep. I heard that this goddess doctor has the habit of cultivating internal breath, maybe he doesn't sleep every night and just meditates.

It's just that the person who came in earlier is nowhere to be found?

No matter, let's kill this woman first! In the future, the master will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and his own benefits will naturally be indispensable!

So the man in black also raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it towards Yao Yanyu's chest.

This time, Yao Yanyu didn't dodge, but shot two breaths in advance, still a golden needle was nailed to the opponent's shoulder, the dagger landed, and the person softened like a deflated ball.

"Helpβ€”there's an assassin!" Only then did Xiang Zhi shout loudly, and the sharp soprano voice stirred the sky of Zichen Palace, and for a while, the fire shadows shook before and after, and hundreds of guards had already responded.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Where's the Assassin?!"

"Where's the assassination?!"

"It seems to be the ear room of the east side hall!"

"That's the room where Divine Doctor Yao rests!"

"Quick! Take the Assassins! ”

……

The Zichen Palace was in chaos, and the Jinlin guards surrounded the east side hall and shouted at the assassin, but they all hesitated and no one rushed into the ear room. There was a Jin Linwei who wanted to rush forward anxiously, but was stopped by his companion: "Our accusation is to protect the emperor!" Do you know what's going on inside the road? Reckless action can only provoke the Assassins! ”

"What about Yao's verdict?"

"The assassin came to the Zichen Palace to assassinate, and the target must be the emperor! The Yao court ruled that it would be fine. ”

"But ......"

This Jin Linwei still wanted to question, but was stopped by his companion on the other side: "No, but!" It is important to protect the emperor, we must defend this place to the death, and do not allow the assassins to rush out. ”

"......" The guard who rushed forward was scolded by his companions on both sides, frowned and did not speak again.

In the depths of the hall, the emperor was woken up by the chaotic footsteps and shouting outside, and after Yao Yanyu's dedicated healing, he fell asleep again, and the emperor's spirit recovered a lot, but the good dream was disturbed and made him feel extremely bad, and he asked unhappily without opening his eyes: "What is the noise outside?!" ”

"Back to the emperor...... It seems that there is an assassin ......" Huaien was busy kneeling in front of the couch, but when he saw the emperor sit up suddenly, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and persuaded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the assassin has been trapped in the east side hall." The guards were surrounded by layers, and he couldn't get out. ”

The emperor let out a long breath, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and was just about to ask what was going on, when he heard a commotion outside, and people from all directions shouted: "There are assassins!" Take the Assassins! Protect the Emperor! ”

"What's going on?!" The emperor immediately widened his eyes: "Didn't you say that the assassin was trapped in the East Side Palace?!" ”

Wynne was stupid all of a sudden, what the hell is going on with this overwhelming shout of 'catch assassins'!

In the entire inner garden of the imperial palace, the east and west twelve palaces, the Taiji Palace, the Zichen Palace, and the Fushou Palace for the concubines to recuperate, there are all people shouting 'catch the assassin', and the cries are surging like a tide.

There are Jinlin guards with swords and crossbows to maintain order, and countless eunuchs and palace maids flee in all directions like rats.

At this time, if someone is standing on the roof of the Taiji Palace, it is not difficult to see that among the eunuchs and palace maids who are fleeing in all directions, there are people holding torches who seem to be panicked, but in fact, they are directing the palace slaves of the six gods and no masters to flee in the direction of Zichen Palace.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his leg and gave Huaien a heartwarming kick: "Bastard thing!" This is a rebellion! How dare you seduce me! Surely complicit in those thieves! I'll kill you first! ”

Although the emperor was seriously ill, Huai En was also in his sixties, and this kick happened to kick his heart, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and red blood beads slowly dripped down the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty...... The old slave has no two hearts! Huai En said, and knelt down in front of the dragon couch, "The old slave is a eunuch, and he is a rootless duckweed, since the day the old slave served the emperor, everything about the old slave is the emperor." It is not a pity for the old slave to die a cheap life, I just ask the emperor to take care! After speaking, Huai En kowtowed three times to the emperor, resolutely got up, took a few steps back and walked out of the main hall.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and forgot what to do.

Sanshun came in from the outside, prostrate in front of the dragon couch, kowtowed, and said: "Back to the emperor, it was the assassin in the house judged by the Yao Yuan, and the guards have surrounded the east side hall. It's just that she didn't dare to trespass, and she took the assassin hostage to Yao Yuan, which would hurt her life. ”

"What's going on with those shouts out there?!" The emperor shouted angrily and asked, "Where is Huang Song?!" ”

Huang Song, the leader of the imperial guard, is the emperor's confidant, if the emperor has the only trustworthy person in this world, then it must be him.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Song entered in response, and knelt down towards the emperor after entering the hall: "The minister just stepped on the top of the Taiji Palace, and saw that the eunuchs and palace maids in all parts of the three palaces and six courtyards were in chaos, and the minister thought that this was a planned mutiny!" Please also ask the emperor to decree that Jin Linwei will be escorted into the palace! ”

At this time, in the ear room of the East Side Palace, Yao Yanyu made Xiang Zhi shout, and after stirring up the chaos in Zichen Palace, Jin Linwei, who was not expected, broke in.

"What's going on?" Xiang Zhi asked curiously, "Why didn't anyone come in to get the assassin?" ”

Yao Yanyu couldn't figure out what the situation was, and looked at the two black-clothed people who were numbed by the anesthetic in silence, frowning and silent.

Umei leaned closer to the window and looked out through the gap in the window sash, turned around and said, "They surrounded the east side hall, but they didn't shout and didn't move. Why don't we open the door and hand these two men over. ”

"No way!" Yao Yanyu hurriedly stopped, "These people outside are too weird. Why is it that no one has come in to save me at this time? Are they waiting for the assassins to kill me? ”

"Huh?!" Xiang Xue was shocked when she heard this, "Then ...... them"

"This is Zichen Palace! Long live Lord is still ......"

Yao Yanyu frowned and sighed in a low voice: "If they have a long live lord in their eyes, they will naturally not be like this." ”

"So what do we do?!" Xiang Zhi asked anxiously.

Yao Yanyu raised her hand and made a silent gesture, squinting her eyes and listening attentively to the movement outside. After the commotion outside the door, she heard an even more alarming commotion approaching. Those shouts came from all directions like a tidal wave, and there was a tendency to overwhelm the mountains and seas.

"Sure enough...... Someone staged a coup d'Γ©tat. Yao Yanyu sighed in a low voice.

"Someone rebelled?!" Xiangzhi's eyes widened in surprise.

Yao Yanyu smiled helplessly: "We are so lucky, we can meet big things when we come back." "It's just that this time it's really not good!

"Madame, think of a way. It's not a problem to be surrounded by them like this! In case they ......" Wu Mei didn't dare to say the rest of the words, just now she saw the full posture of those people outside with swords and bows, and she was really afraid that if the emperor ordered to catch the assassin at all costs, she and their wife would have to be nailed into hedgehogs by thousands of hearts!

Yao Yanyu didn't know how powerful it was.

Judging from the fact that these people stabbed themselves in the middle of the night, they didn't want to get out alive at all. Moreover, these two people easily entered this room, and among the guards of this Zichen Palace, they didn't know how many people in the Dao were their accomplices.

It's just that at times like this, it's useless to be in a hurry. Rather than going out and facing it directly, it is better to spend time here. So she sighed slowly and said, "Our current solution is to 'wait'. ”

Outside, a shrill robe interrupted by a shrill robe of the guards: "Silence! Give me silence! What happened to Yao's verdict? Why don't you go in and come to the rescue?! ”

The guards turned around and saw Huai'en, and someone hurriedly said: "It turned out to be my father-in-law, because the situation in the interior is unknown, we are afraid that rushing in rashly will provoke the assassin, and the Yao Yuan will judge that his life is in danger." ”

Huai En snorted coldly: "Then we have to determine how the Yao Yuan sentence is now!" What does it mean to be here like this? Where is Huangyan?! ”

Huang Yan is Huang Song's brother, and naturally he is also the emperor's confidant. Unlike Huang Song, the emperor's personal guard, Huang Yan is responsible for the defense of the periphery of Zichen Palace.

"Deputy Lieutenant Huang is not on duty tonight, if my father-in-law looks for him, he will have to wait until dawn." A voice with a hint of schadenfreude came from a few of the guards.

Wynn suddenly turned his head to stare at the man, and sneered, "It turned out to be Deputy Lieutenant Cao on duty." ”

"If my father-in-law has something to say, just give me orders." Deputy Lieutenant Cao arched his hand with a smile.

"The emperor has woken up, it's time to pass the Yao Yuan judgment to check the pulse." Wynne snorted lukewarmly, raised his foot and knocked on the door, shouting as he knocked, "Lord Yao? Lord Yao? ”

"Is it Grandpa Huai?" When Xiang Zhi heard Wynne's voice, a tense heart finally relaxed.

"It's our house! Is Lord Yao okay? At this time, Wynne's heart was apprehensive. He didn't know what the situation was in the Dao, if there was really an assassin, if not, then Yao Yanyu and the three of them would be guilty of a great crime!

When Wynne was worried, he heard Qingling's voice inside: "Xiangzhi, go and open the door to the public." ”

Yao Yuan ruled that nothing happened! Wynne's heart calmed down for the most part. No matter what, as long as this miracle doctor is well-treated, the emperor's dragon body will have something to rely on.

The door creaked open from the inside, and the dim light of the stars and moon shone on Xiang Zhi's delicate face, calm and waveless, without a trace of panic.

"Is Lord Yao okay?" Wynne asked hurriedly.

"My wife is fine." As she spoke, she stepped out of the door. At the same time, the candles inside are also lit.

Seeing Wynne enter, the lieutenant Cao also followed. Xiang Zhi just glanced at him lightly and didn't speak.

At this time, there were already palace maids and eunuchs pouring to the gate of Zichen Palace, and a large number of guards appeared from all directions. Everyone shouted: "Protect the emperor, catch the assassin!" "It's like a pack of mad dogs that have taken aphrodisiacs.

"Lord Yao, you were the first to call the assassin here, where is the assassin?!" As soon as Deputy Lieutenant Cao came in, a pair of eyes saw Wumei from Xiangzhi, and the last fell on Yao Yanyu, who was unharmed. The three women were calm and calm, without a trace of panic, where did they look like they had been assassinated?

Yao Yanyu sneered and raised her chin, motioning for Huai En and the lieutenant Cao to look at the corner over there.

"Oops!" Wynne was startled when he saw the two men in black who were tied up with their mouths pouted, "This...... This is the Assassin? Why did you get dizzy? ”

Deputy Lieutenant Cao frowned and asked, "Lord Yao, can you subdue the assassin with two weak maids?" Isn't there something boring? ”

Yao Yanyu sneered: "They were stabbed by me with a gold needle fed with anesthetic, and at this time they were in a coma because the effect of the anesthetic had not yet passed, and if they waited for half an hour, they would definitely wake up. But I think it's strange that we shouted to catch the assassins, why are you just going around this room and not doing anything? Do you want to wait for the Assassins to kill the three of us weak women? ”

"This ...... cough cough ...... "Deputy Lieutenant Cao was caught off guard, he never expected this Yao Yuan judge to ask so directly, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and relied on coughing to cover up the panic of the moment, and immediately said with a cold face: "Lord Yao, don't spew blood, we are also thinking about your safety, if we rush in desperately, in case the assassin comes to a fish and breaks the net, we will kill you and your maid first!" ”

Yao Yanyu sneered indifferently: "In this case, I want to thank you." ”

"You're welcome." There are always people with thicker skins than the city walls, "Since Lord Yao has nothing to do, then we will take these two assassins first." ”

"Slow!" Huaien raised his hand to stop: "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, so please trouble Deputy Lieutenant Cao to send people into the main hall and ask the emperor to interrogate him personally." ”

Deputy Lieutenant Cao frowned and said, "Isn't the emperor sick?" Why bother with these little things? Hand them over to me, and I'll be sure they'll be recruited in less than two hours. ”

Huai En immediately glared at him: "What is the emperor going to do, it's not your turn to talk too much!" Are you going to rebel too?! ”

What else did Deputy Lieutenant Cao have to say, he heard someone behind him say aloud: "The emperor asked Yao Yuan what the verdict was, and the assassin had been caught?" ”

Huai En looked back, but saw that Huang Song's right-hand man, Qin Hu, was wearing a dark iron armor and holding a sword at his waist like an iron tower blocking the door, and most of the people who had surrounded the ear room before had already withdrawn. So he became more and more confident, and said in a loud voice: "The assassin has been stunned by Lord Yao with anesthetic, and Deputy Lieutenant Qin asked someone to take these two thieves to the main hall to see the emperor." ”

Under Deputy Lieutenant Cao's gloomy gaze, Qin Hu and Huai En escorted Yao Yanyu's master and servant, and carried the two unconscious assassins out of the ear room and went straight to the main hall.

The emperor was already on the verge of collapse at this time, and there was no one else around him who could be trusted except Huang Song. Of course, at this time, he had already recalled, and Wynn should also be credible, but he didn't have time to think about it in that situation just now.

So when Huai En and Qin Hu took Yao Yanyu's master and servant into the palace, and easily threw the two assassins who were overturned on the ground and strictly guarded everything, the emperor's trust in Huai En's father-in-law returned.

"I'm wrong to blame you." The emperor looked at Huai'en, who was kneeling in front of him, and sighed in a low voice.

"It's the slave who is guilty, but the slave, as the emperor's close attendant, is slow to react to the things around the emperor, and the slave deserves death."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault. I didn't even expect that! As he spoke, the emperor turned his head to look out the window. The shouts outside shook the sky, and everyone shouted "Catch the assassin"! In fact, it is obvious who you want to kill!

"Huang Song, Qin Hu." The emperor's gaze withdrew from the window, and his voice was extremely cold: "I order you to take all your people to drive out those people outside." Within a quarter of an hour, those who left voluntarily were not to blame. If you insist on staying...... No mercy! ”

"Your Majesty...... There are at least two thousand palace slaves outside. "In fact, there are five thousand people, these people not only surround Zichen Palace, but even block the doors of the two sides of Zichen Palace and several palaces behind, many of which have rebelled The guards have secretly guarded the internal and external passages, such a thing happened in the palace tonight, and the princes and ministers outside the palace are afraid that they haven't even heard the movement, except for the planners.

Huang Song's guards numbered 1,000 and were on duty in three shifts. In other words, there are only more than 300 people available in Zichen Palace now. Of course, none of the 300 can guarantee that all of them will be dead.

"Don't be afraid! It's a big deal to wash the palace in blood. It's not like I haven't done it again, and I don't mind doing it again! The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was hideous and terrifying, like an angry trapped beast.

"But the emperor must keep a few reliable people by his side." Huang Song persuaded.

"I'm here, if you can't get rid of those people outside, it's useless for me to keep 10,000 people around!" The emperor roared angrily.

Huang Song didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly gave up his orders and took Qin Hu out of the meteor with great strides.

The emperor raised his hand to help Huai En sit down on the couch, exhaled softly, and said softly to Yao Yanyu: "Judge Yao, today in front of me, you can perform your stunts." ”

"Huh?" Yao Yanyu couldn't react a little, "What does the emperor feel uncomfortable?" The minister will check your pulse first. ”

"Humph! I'm so good, I don't need you to check your pulse. The emperor suddenly smiled, and after an instant, his smile retracted, and the emperor's chin turned towards the two black-clothed men lying on the ground over there: "I want you to use 'needle punishment' in front of me to interrogate these two evil animals!" ”

"Yes, I obey." Yao Yanyu cheered up and bowed down to receive the order, and then turned to Huai En and said, "Please ask my father-in-law to find two helpers and ask for two strong ropes." ”

"People are ready-made. The sturdy rope ......" Huaien hesitated a little, and then his eyes lit up: "Yesterday, the county lord of Dongyang sent two stainless steel chain locks to His Majesty, saying that they were to help His Majesty lock the two lions that were just presented in the southwest of the Royal Beast Park, because they haven't been shown to the Lord Banzai, so the things are still there, I don't know if they are available or not?" ”

"Available." Yao Yanyu was originally afraid that these two assassins would have martial arts, and after a while, an astonishing amount of strength would erupt under the powerful pain, and there was nothing to fear about helping them. The interrogation is not interrogated, in case these two guys break out and kill the emperor or themselves, even if they regret it ten thousand times, it will be too late.

In the Zichen Palace, a low-key and harsh interrogation is begining. Outside the Zichen Palace, Huang Song and several of his capable subordinates stood on the palace walls on both sides of the gate of the Zichen Palace to announce the emperor's holy decree to those riotous palace slaves, and when he said that if there were still people left in a quarter of an hour, they would be killed, and someone in the black head below immediately asked loudly: "How do we know that you are not a prison guard and a thief!" Did you hold the emperor hostage?! Or perhaps, the emperor is no longer there...... Woo, hoorayβ€”uh! ”

The man's wailing was interrupted, accompanied by a sharp arrow piercing his throat, splattering blood three feet, and killing him instantly.

At the same time, it was Huang Song's sharp reprimand: "Long live the Lord is healthy!" Interrogating the Assassins inside! If you spread rumors again, don't blame the steel crossbow in the hands of Captain Bendu for being merciless! ”

The shock of death has always been staggering.

When a person's throat was pierced by a steel crossbow and fell silently beside him, more than a dozen or even dozens of people around him were splashed with blood beads, and some people even inadvertently stretched out the tip of their tongues to lick the fishy sweet and fiery liquid.

The crowd was quiet in a few breaths, and the fear of death and the smell of blood permeated people's breaths. At first, some people involuntarily stepped back.

Huang Song increased the intensity of deterrence, as long as under his nose, whether it was a palace maid, a eunuch, or a guard, as long as he spoke, he or his men would immediately be shot through the throat.

In just a few moments, more than a dozen people fell one after another.

The heavy smell of blood permeated the night sky, blowing far away with the night wind. The guards who had been instigated began to retreat quietly, and at the same time, the eunuchs and palace maids who had woken up from their fears began to turn around and try to flee with their heads in their hands.

It's just that there are a lot of people with ulterior motives mixed in, and they no longer shout, but secretly block them. The people who want to leave are inexplicably torn and stumbled, you hug me and squeeze, stumble, and the scene is chaotic. And the only means used by Huang Song and others to maintain order is - shoot and kill!

In fact, Huang Song really wanted to send someone to move the rescue soldiers outside the palace. But without the emperor's decree, not a single soldier outside the palace is allowed to enter the palace gate. At this time, the emperor seems to have lost due trust in Jinlinwei.

This is not surprising, the guards in the palace are all branches of Jinlinwei, as far as the current situation is concerned, at least a third of these guards have been bought, these people are mixed with the palace slaves, instigating trouble, secretly making stumbling blocks, in order to stir up the situation to the most chaotic.

I hope that the emperor can try the mastermind of this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, this scene will soon get out of control! With a few hundred against thousands, even a simple slaughter will kill for a while. Not to mention such a chaotic scene.

Just thinking about it, suddenly someone shouted behind the crowd: "Concubine Su Niangniang is here!" Niangniang wants to see the emperor! ”

Huang Song was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look, but saw that several eunuchs were 'clustered' around the lamplight, and the concubines who were pregnant with Liujia squeezed over from the crowd.

Su Concubine has been held hostage!

Huang Song suddenly felt that his head was big.

If other concubines are taken hostage, it will be a big deal to die. The concubine died for the emperor and was loyal to the country, and afterwards the emperor was rewarded heavily, and it was reasonable in front of the civil and military officials.

But Su Concubine is pregnant with a dragon in her belly!

The emperor, who was almost sixty years old, was happy as a child when he learned that Concubine Su was pregnant, and he smiled to himself when he thought of it for many days. It can be seen how much he loves the child in Su Concubine's belly.

If there is anything wrong with Concubine Su and the dragon seed in her stomach tonight, Huang Song Zhilu said, even if he and these more than 300 close guards all apologize for their crimes with death, I am afraid they will not be able to calm the emperor's anger.

At this time, a confidant subordinate came to report: "Captain, there are Zhenguo Gong and General Wei outside the palace gate. It's just that without the emperor's order, the grandfather and the general can't enter the palace without permission. ”

Huang Song was overjoyed, thinking that the elite soldiers under the Duke of Zhenguo were all outside the city of Yundu, and the water could not quench his thirst. But Wei Zhang is different, this auxiliary general has an elite army in his hands, and he can be said to be omnipotent. If he had helped, at least the mutiny could have been quelled as soon as possible.

So he commanded in a low voice: "Go in quickly and return to the emperor, and ask the emperor for a holy message." ”

"Yes." The subordinate turned and left.

Huang Song raised his voice and shouted to the few eunuchs who were suppressing Su Concubine: "Su Concubine Niangniang wants to see the emperor, only invite one person to come, and the minister will naturally let him go!" ”

"It's too chaotic here, how dare you go there alone like this?!" A eunuch shrieked back.

"You're not from Niangniang's palace, why are you by Niangniang's side?" Huang Song deliberately in order to stall for time.

"We are the ones who have been ordered to protect the safety of my mother. There was a sudden change tonight, and the mother was not worried about the emperor, so she had to go in and have a look. The eunuchs were arguing with Huang Song, and at the same time, they escorted the concubines to squeeze through the crowd step by step.

In the front garden of the palace, in the Chonghua Palace, where the auxiliary ministers take turns on duty, the scholar of Wuyingdian on duty tonight, the young master of the prince, Zhou Taiyu, the marquis of An Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the scholar of Wenhua Palace, and Yao Yuan, the scholar of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the secretary of the Ministry of Households, are on duty at night.

Wei Zhang and Zhenguo Gongzhi knew that Lu Dao couldn't enter the inner palace, so they went directly to Chonghua Hall as soon as they came.

Yao Yuanzhi and Zhou Taiyu were very surprised when they saw the two, and thought that something big had happened at the border pass, and another state had killed and plundered them.

Zhen Guogong and Wei Zhang naturally couldn't explain the true intention, Wei Zhang said vaguely that his wife didn't come back from the emperor's diagnosis today, but he was afraid that the Holy Communion would not be safe, so he and Guo Gong came to take a look.

Zhou Taiyu and Zhen Guogong are sons and daughters, and Yao Yuanzhi and Wei Zhang are Weng sons-in-law. Speaking of which, these four are not outsiders, so Yao Yuan ordered Si Zhilang, who was on duty, to take water to cook tea, and just wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the two generals about military salaries.

It's just that Wei Zhang didn't have the heart to eat tea at all, according to the information he got, Concubine Xian was pressed into the palace prison for trial tonight, and there will definitely be no peace in the harem.

After hearing that Yun Shen went to see Yun Shen at such a time, Zhen Guogong also felt that something bad was a big deal. King Jin is an idle prince, who has not asked about political affairs all these years, and he has no military power in his hands. only led the prince's fortune to live his own peaceful life.

Everyone has been a little paralyzed over the years. But no matter how long you are trapped in the shallows, a dragon is a dragon after all, and you will never be willing to be a fish and shrimp.

Zhen Guogong and Wei Zhang were both absent-minded, and Yao Yuanzhi quickly sensed the clues. It's just that he's a smart guy and doesn't ask much.

After the third watch, Wei Zhang suddenly frowned, squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, and turned his head to look at Zhen Guogong. Zhen Guogong also frowned, and his face was solemn.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Taiyu asked in wonder.

Wei Zhang didn't speak, he clearly heard the noise coming from the harem. The sound was so noisy that it was faintly discernible as the night breeze blew. It's just that Yao Yuanzhi and Zhou Taiyu don't know martial arts and don't have extraordinary hearing, plus they are a little old and have a little back in their ears, so they don't hear it.

As the shouting grew louder and clearer, Wei Zhang couldn't sit still. First, there is such a big movement, I don't know what happened to the Emperor Dao, and I came - Yao Yanyu is still in the palace! If someone really forces the palace to rebel, she will definitely not be able to escape the catastrophe!

Zhen Guogong raised his hand to hold Wei Zhang, who was about to get up and leave, and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you gather your people first." We'll have to figure out what's going on. ”

Wei Zhang agreed and turned around and went out, and it didn't take long for Si Zhilang to hurriedly come in and report: There was an accident in the inner palace, and there was a lot of noise inside, as if there were assassins! Everywhere they are shouting about the Assassins!

"There are assassins?!" An Yihou was stunned.

Yao Yuanzhi was relatively calm: "Grandpa Guo, we have to find a way to save the driver quickly!" ”

Zhen Guogong waved his hand calmly and said, "Don't panic, I have already called someone to inform Prince Cheng when I came, and I believe that the prince will be there when he speaks." Wei Zhang is also gathering men and horses to prepare for the rescue, with the Golden Scale Guard and the Eagle Guard, no kind of assassin can escape. ”

"But now that the palace is in chaos, I don't know what happened to Emperor Lu Dao?!" An Yihou finally relieved his breath and asked with a white face.

Zhenguo Gong said in a deep voice: "The emperor has Huang Song and a loyal and brave Wei clan by his side, and he will be fine." ”

While speaking, Wei Zhang had already come back and bowed his hand to the Duke of Zhen Guo: "Grandpa Guo, the people and horses have been assembled. Always ready to enter the palace to rescue the driver. ”

"Have you made contact with the palace?" Zhen Guogong slapped the table and stood up.

"Yes." Wei Zhang responded.

"How are they?"

"The emperor has nothing to do, but there are more than 3,000 eunuchs and palace maids who rebelled inside. Huang Duwei was struggling to resist, and there was already blood at the door of Zichen Palace. ”

"Heaven forbid! As long as the emperor is safe, we are relieved. Zhen Guogong, who had never believed in gods, couldn't help but arch his hand towards God, and then waved his hand and shouted, "Go!" Take your sons and daughters with you, and go with the old man to Huijimen. ”

"Yes." Wei Zhang used to be the most powerful general under the command of Grandpa Guo, but now he has been promoted to general, and he still does not forget his true colors.
