The atmosphere was in the middle of the air, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, and at first no one cared, just sent someone out to see what was going on. Lin Qingyun observed that the expressions of Princess Zhongshun, Concubine Wu Guifei, Concubine Qi Shu, and Concubine Rong had changed slightly, so she glanced at the cloak held in the hand of the egret as if unintentionally.

The little eunuch who had inquired about the news before ran in with a pale face and reported: "Guifei Niangniang, filial piety, filial piety to the prince has rebelled!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the scene was instantly chaotic, and the timid people cried.

"What to cry about! The holy drive is here, what kind of system! Wu Guifei also got the news earlier, but that was just speculation, where did she think that filial piety really dared to rebel, although she was afraid at this time, she had to try her best to calm down, and she had to guard against someone fishing in troubled waters.

When everyone heard Wu Guifei's words, they calmed down slightly. Yes, the emperor is still here, but there is a large army to defend here.

Princess Zhongshun walked to Lin Qingyun's side with the county lord Huiyi, surrounded by several maids and eunuchs. Lin Qingyun quietly took the cloak in the white heron's hand, and did not wrap it around his body, but just held it in his hand. He glanced up at Concubine Wu and the others, and then at Princess Zhongshun, looking at the blue curtain, imagining the situation on the other side.

She felt that there was really no chance of winning by honoring the prince, and the emperor not only got the news early and was prepared, but also had fifty guns in his hand from the king of Nan'an, and those guns alone were enough to deter the rebels.

"Bang", a gunshot rang out, which frightened the ladies to scream, and at the same time heard Dai Quan's sharp shout: "Escort!" Escort! Protect the Emperor! ”

Lin Qingyun's face changed, could it be that the person who shot was the one who respected the prince? Yes, since the prince of Nan'an wants to □□ with foreigners, others may not be unexpected, or the prince does not have the idea of forming a foreign gun team, but he may not buy one or two for self-defense or sneak attack.

"What's that sound?" Wu Guifei and the others also turned white.

"Guns! Filial piety to the prince has a gun. Princess Zhongshun saw that the prince of Zhongshun had got that thing, and it sounded amazing, but it was really not very easy to use, so she hurriedly said: "Our gun has to be strong to be able to move, and it will be powerless if it is launched twice. ”

Hui Yi said worriedly: "If you dare to use it, you must have practiced it, and my father and brother are still ahead." ”

"It's okay, the dragon tent is heavily guarded, we only heard voices here, and we haven't seen any rebels, so it can be seen that the situation is not too bad. Besides, if those people did rush in, they wouldn't have let go of their guns. Princess Zhongshun appeased Hui Yi, but she was very worried in her eyes, such a major event as rebellion would always be bloody, even if the filial piety of the prince failed, I knew that everyone could live safely.

"I'm afraid that there is already a killing outside." Lin Qingyun felt that this matter could not be delayed, and it was easy to change if it dragged on for a long time.

It is impossible for all the people who are filial to the prince to come in, there must be many ambushes outside the paddock, and some of them are attacking the capital in a vain attempt to capture the capital. It is precisely because of the small number of people around him that he will release the gun just now, and it is convenient to start close to the emperor, but once he fails, it is equivalent to exposing his position, and there will be no second chance.

The firelight flickered in the distance, the shouts of killing continued, and I don't know what happened outside, but the ladies inside had already gathered together, and there was a team of guards guarding the periphery.

I don't know when I suddenly saw someone come in: "Guifei Niangniang, the king of Dingjun was injured by a stray arrow, but fortunately he only scratched his arm, and it was fine, and the imperial doctor had already bandaged the king of the county at this time." ”

Wu Guifei's face turned white, and two people came one after another as soon as she took a step.

One person said to Concubine Qi Shu: "King Chengjun was rebellious, and he accidentally fell off his horse and broke his foot. ”

One person reported with Concubine Rong: "King Sujun went to pursue the prince of filial piety, but now he is missing." ”

The ladies all changed color and were silent, but Wu Guifei, Qi Shufei, Concubine Rong and the three princesses of the county were panicked and sad, and hurriedly sent people close to them to visit, but tonight the situation was special, and the strict people walked around indiscriminately, and they were all blocked back. Lin Qingyun had another guess, no matter how chaotic it was, it was impossible for the three county kings to have an accident, but I was afraid that someone really wanted to "fish in troubled waters", but he didn't expect that he would become a "fish" and be targeted.

Thinking of Hui Yi's previous words, outsiders already felt that Tu Yan was improving, so how could the other three county kings ignore it? Tu Yan is the son-in-law and the prince, if his body improves, he is definitely the biggest candidate for the position, how can the three of them let it go?

Naturally, some people know that Tu Yan is the most threatening target, and they also want to take advantage of tonight to make a move, but Tu Yan has been staying with the emperor all the time, surrounded by layers of guards to protect him, and there is nothing to be done.

Lin Qingyun also thought of this, so he was not too worried about Tu Yan's situation.

Nearly a night passed, the sky was slightly bright, and finally good news came: the filial piety of the prince failed and was captured, and the rebellious people were close to ambush.

The spirits of the people who had been tense all night were relaxed, and they were all tired, and when the word came from the front, and they were allowed to leave, they left one after another with the support of the maids and eunuchs, and each returned to the camp to rest. Wu Guifei couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly took the princess of the county to visit her son, and someone else came to clean up the messy banquet venue.

Princess Zhongshun is old, and she was frightened all night, and she couldn't hold it anymore at this time, so she said goodbye to Lin Qingyun: "Princess Chun also went to see Prince Chun, I'm afraid that I will be tired this night." ”

"Well, don't worry, Aunt Huang, those people didn't come in, and Uncle Huang is naturally fine." Lin Qingyun comforted and walked with Princess Zhongshun.

But at this time, she heard the sound of a palace maid, Lin Qingyun glanced at it casually, and saw that she didn't know which palace maid next to her was knocked down, and she didn't dare to shout because she was afraid that the masters had just been frightened, so she let the person who hit her leave. Lin Qingyun didn't care about it at first, but when he swept past the person who hit the person, he was wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, and he just drilled forward with his head stuffed, as if he was coming to his side.

I don't know why my heart tightened, and I immediately scolded: "Stop! ”

Everyone else was startled and stopped moving, but the little eunuch not only didn't stop, but also suddenly accelerated and rushed towards her, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand flashed a cold edge. Those young ladies and maids screamed and dodged, the guards didn't expect that there were assassins mixed in, they were all on the periphery, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't catch up with the block, and in front of Lin Qingyun was only the white heron Acacia, Zhang Bao was sent by her to check on the situation of Tu Yan first.

The white egret's acacia face turned white with fright, but she still instinctively protected her in front of her, but Lin Qingyun suddenly raised her hands, and the cloak slipped to the ground. I had heard it once last night, and everyone knew what this sound was coming from, and when they looked closely, Lin Qingyun was holding a gun in his hand!

She hit the little eunuch in the chest very accurately, and a piece of red smeared from the blue cloth, and her body fell to the ground.

At this time, the little eunuch was only three or four steps away from her, and if she was a little slower, even if the dagger could not stab her, it would definitely stab the egret or acacia, according to this dead-like style of assassination, the possibility of missing was extremely small, especially if the target of the assassination was a woman. But at that time, Lin Qingyun actually didn't have the time to think about it so much, she always had a gun in her hand, and Tu Yan had already decided to give her the gun for self-defense, just for fear that someone would attack her, and he always followed the emperor, and the defense was already very tight. She practiced shooting in the palace every day, although she didn't shoot well, but she was absolutely familiar, and subconsciously remembered that the gun was used for self-defense, and when the accident broke out, her first reaction in panic was not to hide, but to shoot with a gun.

After reacting to what had happened, the surrounding ladies and maids looked at Lin Qingyun with a little fear. After all, people who have the courage to kill people, whether it is out of self-preservation or not, will cause people to be distant and afraid, and Lin Qingyun is still a woman, just fifteen years old.

Only Princess Zhongshun saw her hands trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of admiration and worry: "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Qingyun came back to his senses, put down his trembling hands, and smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

In fact, she really couldn't see anything on her face, and she was indeed very calm at the moment, but she was a little trance-like, not very real.

"Princess......" Egret Acacia hurriedly checked her situation after being frightened, picked up the cloak and wrapped it around her, and was thinking about whether to report it to the prince, but saw Tu Yan coming on foot.

The surrounding ladies were also startled, and they were busy being blocked by the maids to dodge.

Tu Yan's face was not good-looking, and when he heard the gunshot, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked the emperor for permission to come over. The dead little eunuch who passed by paused slightly, and then coldly ordered the guards: "Drag the corpse down, investigate carefully, no one is allowed to approach except the emperor!" Then he walked to Lin Qingyun, Princess Zhongshun took Hui Yi to avoid, Tu Yan saw that her face was as usual, but her eyes were not quite right, she didn't say anything, she helped her back to the tent, and ordered someone to cook soothing soup.

"I'm fine." Lin Qingyun sat for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were bright. At this time, she felt that her fingers were numb, after all, it took a lot of strength to pull the trigger, and she was too nervous at that time, so she was relieved at this time, and she only felt that her whole body was soft.

The egret brought the boiled soothing soup: "Princess, please use it." ”

Tu Yan took the bowl, tested the temperature, and handed it to her: "Drink it and sleep well." ”

Although Lin Qingyun didn't feel the crime of murder, panic and the like, he also knew that he was not in a good state, so he drank the soothing soup without any objection. Lying on the bed, he looked at Tu Yan beside the bed and asked him, "Is it all over?" ”

"Well, filial piety to the prince is not only captured, but also hit by two arrows, although he didn't hit the vital point, but he was also injured a lot, even if he saved his life, he had to be raised with medicine for the rest of his life." Tu Yan was very different from his usual gentleness at this moment, his expression was cold, and his tone was cold: "I will find out who the little eunuch is, if I can't find out, this revenge is easy to revenge, Zuo is just my three good brothers." ”

"There has just been a matter of honoring the prince, if it is easy to find out, if it is not easy to check, let's leave it for the time being. After tonight, they won't do it again. Lin Qingyun thought very clearly about this, the so-called "fishing in troubled waters", a rare opportunity has passed, and it is really stupid to want to do it again.

"Rest, I'm here." Tu Yan lowered her voice, like a soft and intoxicating wind, only to hear her eyes closed in a daze.

Seeing that she was asleep, Tu Yan told Bai Lu and others to serve well, went out of the camp, and specially ordered Gao Yang to stay. Even if he knew that no one would be able to assassinate him, he ...... Tu Yan let go of the hands he had been holding, and his hands were already in cold sweat. When he heard the gunshots, he was really frightened, someone assassinated Lin Qingyun, which was the most worrying of all the changes he imagined.

Tu Yan came to the storage place of the little eunuch's body, and the guard in charge of the investigation replied: "Lord Wang, this person is not a eunuch. Judging by his strong body and strong muscles, he is a person who has practiced martial arts all year round. The hands are calloused, Cheng dù is the same, the weapon used is probably a □□ or a long stick, several scars on the body are different from the old and new Cheng dù, all are knife wounds, and there are also scars on the back buttocks, like a military stick. This person should have been born in the army, committed crimes, and was punished, and could have been expelled from the army for this. ”

"Keep looking!" Tu Yan glanced at this person's face, he was honest and honest, and he was not as dark as the people in the army, so it was not suspicious to pretend to be a eunuch. When he saw the eunuch's clothes, he asked, "This eunuch's clothes fit so well, find out where it came from!" ”

"Yes."

As soon as Tu Yan came out of here, he met Li Xi, the little father-in-law in front of the emperor, and Li Xi said: "Prince Chun, the emperor invites you to come over." ”

This time, the dragon tent was more tightly guarded than before, and even if Tu Yan wanted to enter, he would pass through several layers of guards again. Entering the dragon tent, several other princes have arrived, several old clansmen are also here, and there are also ministers who are driving this time.

Seeing that his expression was fine, the emperor's worried heart relaxed slightly, and asked, "How is the princess?" ”

Tu Yan ignored the different lines of sight on both sides and replied: "Thank you father for your concern and questioning, the princess was frightened, and ate the soothing soup and fell asleep." ”

When everyone heard this, they all secretly slandered: The princess was frightened? The princess who can shoot and kill people, they are frightened! In the past, I only thought that Lin Qingyun was a good fate, and he was a bit of a means to rein in men, but now I know that he is really not an idle person, and they can't compare with these big men.

The emperor asked again: "What can the assassin find?" But filial piety to the rest of the prince's party? ”

"The person is dead, many clues have been broken, and it is difficult to check for a while." In front of these people, Tu Yan did not reply truthfully.

The Emperor nodded, asked no more questions, took his seat, and began to discuss the matter of honoring the prince. Since the establishment of the capital, there have been two major cases of rebellion, the former one is the old prince of righteousness, and the other is the current prince of filial piety, which is indeed the father and son, in the same line, in addition to filial piety and ambition, the unwillingness of his father to defeat is also a reason.

Just after something big happened, I found that all the Yiqiē were under the control of the emperor, and the ministers and clansmen had any other thoughts, all according to the emperor's wishes.

This kind of thing will definitely not be hastily ended, and the emperor ordered a temporary rest for a day, and tomorrow he will return to Beijing with camp.

After staying up all night, the ministers and ladies of the clan have to rest, and the soldiers who have fought and defended all night must also repair. At this time, in the tent of Chengping Bo's Mansion, the eldest lady of the long house, Tang, was already sleepy, and she was pulled by her daughter to talk and couldn't sleep.

"Ma'am, ma'am...... Mother! He Yuefu made a fuss for a long time, and finally opened Tang's eyes.

Tang's has always been partial to his daughter, and he has spoiled her for so many years, so he had to cheer up and ask her: "Fu'er, what are you making trouble about, you haven't slept all night, aren't you sleepy?" ”

Where was He Yuefu sleepy, her eyes were shining, her cheeks were red, and she said like a dream: "Madam, have you seen Prince Chun?" He doesn't look much like what he remembers, he doesn't look sick at all, and if he said that he was sick to death, it must have been a rumor deliberately released by someone! ”

As soon as Tang heard this, he understood his daughter's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh: "Whether Prince Chun is good or not, this has nothing to do with you, he is already married to the princess." Not to mention the previous thing...... It is impossible for you to enter the Pure Prince's Mansion. ”

He Yuefu knew that she was referring to the fact that the queen approved her in the early years and intended to let her be a pure princess, but she didn't think about it and said: "The queen mother mentioned it to her wife, not to me. I don't know about it anyway. ”

"You just pretend to be something, so what?"

"The queen has liked me before, and if I show a little, the queen may bring up the old things again. That Lin Qingyun is just Lin Shangshu's righteous daughter, which one can compare to me? ”

"Then she is also a pure princess appointed by the emperor!" Even if the Tang family dotes on his daughter, these things are clearly distinguished.

"There are many royal marriages, and not all of them have lived a lifetime." He Yuefu retorted.

Tang said bitterly: "She is not only the emperor's marriage, but also very much liked by Prince Chun, you have seen it with your own eyes today, Prince Chun is so nervous about her, what if you enter the palace?" It's not that I'm begging for a living under her hands, so why bother. ”

"Mother, I'm your daughter, why do you always look at outsiders!" He Yuefu was dissatisfied, and even more dissatisfied: "Right now, right now, which man in this world is affectionate?" It's common for me to like this today, and to fall in love with that tomorrow. Didn't she marry into the palace for Chongxi? The prince must have treated her differently because of this. Now that the prince is well, she can also retire successfully, and the prince will naturally have a better place to serve. The other ......" He Yuefu attached to Tang's ear and lowered her voice, but the excitement in it was difficult to hide: "Mother, if Prince Ruochun is really good, he is a son-in-law, and he is so liked by the emperor, ...... in the future"

Tang's attitude was shaken, after all, they looked at the scenery in the house, and only their own people knew what it actually was. If her daughter can be the concubine of the future new emperor, her own family will naturally be more beneficial.

He Yuefu saw that her mother's attitude softened, and she was proud in her heart, but she sighed again: "Why is she so fateful, if only she died at that time." ”

Tang said: "Don't worry, now it's the time of national filial piety, and it's not suitable to mention these." Besides, they don't have a round house, we still have a lot of time to plan, even if you can't be a concubine in the future, you can rob Mr. of the eldest son. The royal family can not be a concubine. ”

The next day he left for Beijing, but Lin Qingyun never showed up because he was sick.

I didn't sleep well yesterday, I always had some unconscious dreams, and I woke up from time to time, and in the end the murder left some impact on her. Fortunately, she is good at self-regulation, and she sleeps more peacefully in the second half of the night, and her early diet is not affected. Tu Yan didn't let her "recover", and told her that it was better to be sick for a while, first, it was too fast, which made people feel cold-blooded and afraid, and secondly, to avoid the chaos of these days.

Lin Qingyun was happy to save trouble, leaned on the soft pillow and asked him lazily: "I killed someone, are you afraid?" They're afraid of me. ”

Tu Yan sneered: "Don't think nonsense, let's live our own life, regardless of what others think." If I had been afraid that you would have killed someone, I would not have taught you how to use a gun in the first place. ”

"Thank you, Yoan." Lin Qingjun is very grateful to him, both for his earlier preparation and for his trust and understanding now.

"You and I are husband and wife, why do you need to say thank you."

Back in the capital, Lin Qingyun went directly back to the palace to recuperate, and Tu Yan entered the palace to see the queen.

The queen was worried for several days, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tu Yan standing intact. The queen had already gotten the news of Qiu Yuzhong first, and knew that Lin Qingyun had shot her, and she was not displeased to see that she did not come, but asked with great concern, and rewarded her with some medicinal herbs.

After thanking him, Tu Yan said, "Although there is insufficient evidence for this matter, I suspect that Concubine Rong did it. ”

"She?" The queen frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, Concubine Rong was deeply hidden, and it was her action to do something while there was chaos. The queen had the city in her heart, so she didn't say much, but just asked him: "Does You'an want that position?" ”

Tu Yan was not surprised that the queen asked this, but said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the sons are very good at the moment, the Queen Mother just sits in the middle palace, drinks tea and watches the play, and the others don't need to do anything." ”

Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, the queen listened to his words, and looked at his eyebrows and eyes, she knew that he had an idea, so she smiled and said: "That's good, I'm happy to worry." ”

At this time, the matter of filial piety to the prince and rebellion has spread in Beijing, and the people are in an uproar, and they will inevitably discuss the rebellion of the old prince Yizhong more than ten years ago. Everyone is speculating about how the emperor will deal with filial piety to the prince this time.

In Shangyang Palace, the Emperor Taishang was rarely awake, and the inner supervisor pushed him to bask in the sun in the courtyard. Ma Ying, the personal eunuch, has served him for decades, and he is the most loyal and diligent, but he suddenly came in from the outside at this time, and his face was very ugly.

The Emperor Taishang's words were no longer very sharp, and when he saw Ma Ying's look, he asked with his eyes.

Ma Ying trembled, and puffed back: "Old sage, honor the prince, honor the prince, honor the prince......"

"What's wrong with filial piety?" The Emperor Taishang's expression changed, and he spit out such a sentence with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all the strength of his body, and he couldn't stop panting as soon as he finished speaking.

"Filial piety to the prince, he took advantage of the autumn to take the lead in assassinating the emperor, saying that the emperor's throne was not right, he was the emperor's grandson, and the throne should be inherited by him. Now that the prince has been defeated, he has been imprisoned by the emperor in the Zongren Mansion, and no one is allowed to see him without a holy decree. ”

"He, he ......" Emperor Taishang was excited, his face turned red and he couldn't breathe. I don't know if the "he" in this sentence refers to filial piety or to the emperor.

"Old sage! Fast! Hurry up and get a doctor! Ma Ying hurriedly ordered, but saw that the Emperor Taishang grabbed his hand and opened his mouth to say something, Ma Ying waited for a long time, and immediately realized: "Don't worry, the old sage, the slave will immediately go and ask the emperor to come over." ”

The emperor couldn't wait, and before the doctor came, he closed his eyes.

The death knell rings in the palace - it's too much for the emperor!
