Chapter 284: The Finale
The Imperial Study.
Su Zhaoheng and Marquis Wusu knelt straight on the gold brick paved ground, and dozens of emperor's guards stood behind them, and the two of them still looked indifferent in the heavy atmosphere.
The emperor was sitting in the dragon chair, his eyes cold and fierce.
"Marquis Wusu, let me ask you again, whose son is Su Zhaoheng!"
"The emperor just asks a thousand questions, and the ministers only answer." Marquis Wusu spoke indifferently, not the anger of the Son of Heaven.
The Emperor was so angry at him that he picked up the paperweight and smashed it down.
Su Zhaoheng's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly got up and knelt in front of Wu Su again.
The paperweight of the Nine Dragons Playing Beads smashed on his shoulder.
The emperor laughed angrily when he saw this scene, "Very good, such a deep father-son relationship, I don't have to ask anymore!" β
Marquis Wusu stood up suddenly, his tall body stood in the hall, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless enemy generals, and there was a chill on his body. He doesn't look like a felony prisoner here, he has the posture of standing up to the sky.
The guards behind him gripped the hilts of their swords, and the Emperor narrowed his eyes.
"The emperor didn't have to ask, if the emperor had any doubts, he shouldn't have to identify Heng'er in the first place! The minister dissuaded it, but the emperor insisted on doing it, but now it has become the minister's sin..."
"Marquis of Wusu! You are bold! Are you questioning me?! β
The Emperor also stood up, staring at him condescendingly from the high stairs.
Marquis Wu Su just smiled sarcastically, "Question? The minister is questioning! You are insulting your brother and sister-in-law, they have fallen under the Nine Springs, they can't be grieved for their bloodline, do I, the entrusted person, have to watch the orthodox bloodline be stained?! β
"It's not a pity for me to die, if it weren't for my young Muai, I wouldn't be in trouble today. I'm already sorry for her, but I can't let her blood bear the reputation of being reviled by the world! β
Su Zhaoheng was also shocked by the words of Marquis Wusu, and his repeated responsibility for this situation would only make the emperor even more angry and point all the fingers at him.
"Sure enough, he is a big hero that everyone admires!" The Emperor laughed angrily and put his hands behind his back. "Marquis Wusu, just because you have the heart to peep at the former crown princess, it is enough to punish your nine clans!"
"Your Majesty!" Su Zhaoheng's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly kowtowed. "Who hasn't been guilty of this when he was young, and you are not afraid that you will chill the hearts of the ministers who have done their best for the country? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the Northwest Army?! β
was unwilling to raise military power to exert pressure, but in the current situation, Su Zhaoheng had no choice, and the emperor couldn't listen to the explanation at all. He also couldn't let his father, who single-handedly raised him, stand on the cusp.
"Su Zhaoheng!" The Emperor's angry shouts echoed through the hall.
Su Zhaoheng's forehead was still on the ground, and his tone was pleading. "Your Majesty, this is a ridiculous thing. Whether it was the former prince who sent his blood outside the palace and let the minister raise him, or the Marquis of Wusu admired the former crown princess. Which one is not ridiculous? But has the emperor ever thought about what made this thing ridiculous? β
"Is the death of the former crown prince really accidental? Your Majesty, have you investigated further? Haven't you seen Xiao Sheng? If you continue to investigate and believe these ridiculous accusations, the minister can only say one thing, and the faint king is nothing more than that. β
The rebellious words made the emperor's face pale, and his eyes could overturn the two of them, and the guards behind them were all out of their sheaths, just waiting for the emperor's order to kill here!
Su Zhaoheng also stood up and stood side by side with Marquis Wusu.
He bet that no matter how angry the emperor was, he wouldn't dare to make a move.
The atmosphere in the main hall froze to the extreme, and the emperor just glared at the two of them angrily and did not say anything for a long time.
The guards felt that their palms were sweating, and the weapons in their hands were getting heavier and heavier, and even their breathing was stagnant, waiting for all the touches.
"Your Majesty! Oh no! Oh no! The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother is gone! β
The screams of mourning outside the main hall caused the Emperor to take a step back, and his face full of anger was only stunned.
Su Zhaoheng and his father glanced at each other, looking solemn and relieved.
"Hold them in lock!" The emperor reacted, and staggered down the steps and walked out.
The guards swarmed up, but they only dared to surround the airtight, and invited the two out without any disrespect.
Soon, the death knell of the Queen Mother in the imperial city sounded.
The old lady Lin, who came to the palace gate with King Ning and Shaoling, snorted completely without a figure, and said angrily: "Let you grind and chirp, it's still too late to waste so many tongues from the old man!" β
It was the first time that King Ning was scolded in person, and his expression was a little embarrassed, and Shaoling, who had taken off his mask, just glanced at him lightly. "Now that the palace is going to be under martial law, have you figured out how to get in?"
Old lady Lin was angry, "The old man doesn't have wings on his back, he. . . Mother. How else can you get in, go back to your own mansions, and wait for the funeral! I hope that the stupid emperor is still alive at that time! β
King Ning choked on his own saliva when he listened, you directly scolded the emperor for being stupid in front of the royal people, is it really good?!
"He will live until that time, King Rui wasted all his efforts, or he wanted to make a fuss about the death of the Queen Mother, the emperor died, and the play could not be sung. Let's go home. Shaoling was still so calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
So far, I have to go back to my home.
Old lady Lin was anxious, but there was no way.
It was Luo Hao who surrounded his granddaughter's house, and the boy was Hun boy, but his granddaughter was still safe, so he was afraid that his granddaughter would enter the palace to cry and mourn. Things came so fast, so fast that he was in such a hurry that he didn't know what tomorrow would bring.
Old Lady Lin snorted in frustration, and King Ren Ning sent him back to the Lin Mansion.
Su Zhaoyu, who was avoiding King Rui's ears, had already arrived at the eldest princess's mansion from the Chen family at this time, but before she explained the matter, she heard the mourning sound, and the eldest princess's face changed.
She hesitated for a while and said: "No matter what Su Zhaoheng's identity is, I will be on your side, the queen mother is gone, and I have to enter the palace to mourn tomorrow morning at the latest." I'll ask you about the situation then, Changping, you don't have to worry, King Rui doesn't dare to touch her. Don't go anywhere now, it's enough for the Chen family to receive the news, it's safest to stay in the princess's mansion! β
As she spoke, the eldest princess ordered someone to take him down to rest first.
Su Zhaoyu shook his head, "Mother-in-law, my father is in trouble, I can't just wait." Changping is protected by you as a mother in the capital, and I am very relieved. It's just that if it is the most serious, please ask your mother-in-law to protect Changping! Please also ask your mother-in-law to tell Changping that I am responsible for her! β
After speaking, Su Zhaoyu respectfully kowtowed to Changping three times.
He wants to go out of Beijing, even if it is a choice of nine deaths and a lifetime, he must go out of Beijing! This is the last way to save my father.
The eldest princess looked at him, knowing that his determination was unshakable, and finally only sighed. "Go ahead, I'll let someone take you to pick a few useful helpers, if you want me to protect Changping, I can only help you here to the greatest extent."
At this juncture, the eldest princess is still willing to help, she is already grateful, how could Su Zhaoyu have any complaints, got up and gave her a deep look before walking away quickly.
When the darkness completely engulfed the earth, the eight figures quietly shuttled through the capital and dived out.
But the capital was surrounded like an iron bucket......
**
Lin Wanwan tossed and turned on the bed.
The Queen Mother is actually at this time, and now Su Zhaoheng's situation is unknown, and there is no news, so she should also enter the palace early tomorrow morning to mourn.
Entering the palace, can she see Su Zhaoheng?
Lin Wanwan had been thinking about how to sneak out all night, but then she felt that staying quietly in the house was the best choice.
Although Luo Hao made her grit her teeth with hatred, what she said was not completely unreasonable.
Thinking about Su Zhaoheng's lack of news so far, it should be good news, maybe there is a trace of luck The emperor will not believe King Rui's rumors, so King Rui is very likely to do something drastic.
He asked Luo Hao to guard himself, and he should have intended to use himself as a pawn to coerce Su Zhaoheng.
King Rui wanted to rebel, he pinched himself in his hands, his grandfather didn't dare to move lightly, and his grandfather didn't dare, let alone Su Zhaoheng, who was already in the deep palace.
However, whether it is the emperor's distrust or the rebellion of King Rui, as long as there is one of the two points, the Su family and Su Zhaoheng will not have a good result.
Since that's the case, she doesn't have to worry too much.
In her previous life, she only lived to be sixteen years old, and she had nothing to fear when facing these again.
She will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, she wants to see how far King Rui can go, she will not let herself become a weakness for everyone!!
Lin Wanwan had a plan, and Luo Hao, who was standing in the courtyard, was also thinking about going to the palace tomorrow morning to mourn.
King Rui will definitely spare no effort to take advantage of her ......
Before the morning dew dissipated, Lin Guanwan had already changed into a coriander and put on a plain white mourning dress according to her dress.
She didn't have any fat powder on her face, her eyes were blue, and her plain clothes made her more and more slender and moving.
With a blank face, she crossed the road surrounded by soldiers.
"Wanwan..." Luo Hao received the news that she was going out of the house and into the palace, and hurried over.
He also stayed awake all night, and his chin had a blue beard.
Lin Wanwan looked straight ahead and said softly: "What, Lord Luo, do you have enough power to stop me from entering the palace to worship the Queen Mother?" β
Luo Hao smiled bitterly, "Wanwan, I'll go with you." β
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan didn't look at him, but continued to move forward step by step.
Luo Hao followed behind her, staring at her back, his eyes flashing.
The palace is large, and the eyes are sad white. Outside the wide open palace gate, there were already many carriages stagnant, and everyone who passed through the palace gate had a sad face on their faces.
King Ning was rumored to enter the palace again as soon as he returned to the palace yesterday, and he was kneeling in front of the queen mother's spiritual throne at this time, silently watching the emperor, empress and King Rui burning paper money.
Behind them, the princes, are the emperor's ancestors, and then behind them are the emperor's concubines.
He moved his gaze to the outside of the hall again, and the minister and the foreign woman knelt almost all over the open space, and the sound of sobbing gathered together, with a kind of harshness of propaganda.
The ministers of civil and military affairs, and the noble families are all here.
King Rui is really a good method, and he is ruthless enough, in order to rebel, his biological mother was killed.
Just by glancing at it, King Ning withdrew his gaze, and his red eyes also squeezed out a few tears, singing a full set.
After crying once, an attendant announced that Lin Wanwan's knees hurt.
The floor tiles are cold and hard, even if I have prepared things in advance, I am still uncomfortable. Moreover, her lower abdomen has been aching faintly since just now.
It seemed like that was it yesterday, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Mrs. Xuanping Hou, slow down."
Lin Wanwan's body shook, and a palace maid hurriedly supported her.
She smiled gratefully, and then let her carry her to the side hall.
The super first-grade life is more fortunate than other foreign women, and they can still sit down and rest on the side, waiting for the next round of crying and mourning, and the other foreign women have to stand and wait.
Lin Wanwan slowly followed the flow to the side hall, she was looking for her maternal grandmother, aunt and cousin.
My cousin is still pregnant, how can I stand this.
In the whiteness, she finally saw a familiar face, and she hurriedly quickened her pace, but stopped suddenly.
How did her grandmother seem to be led astray?
She realized that something was wrong, looked around and was about to shout, but the afterglow swept to the corner of the palace maid who was supporting her, and a strange smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
Her heart sank, and she wanted to fight for it, but the palace maid didn't know what she had done to her, and her consciousness blurred as soon as her feet softened.
"Mournβ"
A shrill voice of mourning rang out.
Lin Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
It was dark in front of me, and it smelled musty.
Where is it?
She's been kidnapped?!
Lin Wanwan pinched herself with her fingernails and completely woke up from the pain.
King Rui was really as bold as she thought, but she had already been mentally prepared, what she wanted was King Rui's hand, otherwise she would not have entered the palace!
He was kidnapped, which means that Su Zhaoheng is definitely safe, but King Rui doesn't think that he can really threaten Su Zhaoheng with himself!
Lin Wanwan sat up calmly, and suddenly there was a bright light in the dim room.
She was so wary that she left the bed and stood with Xiao Ji on her feet.
When she saw it clearly, she found that Luo Hao was at the round table not far away, holding a fire fold and lighting a candle.
"Luo Hao...," she shouted.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid, you stay here, it's safe here." Luo Hao put out the fire and looked at her.
Lin Wanwan frowned, and Luo Hao saw it and said, "I know you don't trust me, but I won't let you really put yourself in danger." Don't worry outside, someone will be crying for you. β
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan understood, and Luo Hao found a stand-in for her.
Immediately, she felt that this was not good at all.
"Luo Hao, let me out, if I don't stay here, I don't need your protection."
Luo Hao sighed faintly, "Wanwan, you know that it is dangerous and you want to enter the palace, do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Are you so desperate for him? β
"That's my business." Lin Wanwan's eyes were already angry, "You said it nicely to protect me, but in fact? Su Zhaoheng didn't know that it wasn't me outside, wouldn't it be better for you to act and force him to do something, Luo Hao! Do you think your mind is so hard to guess?! β
was singled out, Luo Hao didn't have the slightest anger on his face, and even smiled and slowly approached her.
"Wanwan, why are you so smart?"
Watching the tall man walk step by step, Lin Wanwan felt that he was very dangerous and was busy trying to escape from this dead end, but Luo Hao, who had only taken a step and had long legs, had already grabbed her arm, and pressed her on the small table by holding her shoulder with one hand.
Lin Wanwan was angry and ashamed, and stretched out her foot to kick him, but she had already been recognized and clamped by him with her legs.
"Luo Hao!" Lin Wanwan scolded angrily.
Luo Hao pressed her, only to feel that she was soft and fragrant, just like his beautiful dreams at night.
He pressed her like that, too, and... She softened into a puddle of spring beneath herself. Water.
Luo Hao's eyes were even red, and his breathing became faster and faster.
Lin Wanwan is not unsuspected, she has discovered Luo Hao's changes, and the thing against her is so obvious!
"Luo... Luo Hao! Let me go! Her voice trembled.
Luo Hao wanted to make it more beautiful, more trembling, like crying, charming to the bone.
As he thought, his face slowly approached, staring at her soft petal-like red lips, his eyes full of longing.
Lin Wanwan was so frightened that her face turned white, Luo Hao, who had been a gentleman in the Hou Mansion for a day, how could he say that he would go crazy if he went crazy!
But her hands and feet were imprisoned, and she couldn't resist if she wanted to, looking at his face getting closer and closer, her hot breath was already between her breathing.
She closed her eyes, looked up and slammed into it!
The mind has been desired. Luo Hao, who was in control, was caught off guard, was hit and snorted, let go of her and retreated.
He clutched his nose, hot blood oozing from between his fingers.
Lin Wanwan sat on the ground with weak hands and feet, gasping for breath.
Fortunately, her cousins taught her that when she fights, she beats her face and nose, and she has to cry no matter how high her martial arts are.
The pain made Luo Hao wake up, and when he saw Lin Wanwan's frightened and frightened little face, his eyes were still red, and he hurriedly took a step back.
He almost did something that made Wanwan hate him even more.
Finding a handkerchief and pinching his nose, he didn't even have the courage to look at Lin Wanwan again. "You can rest for a while." The words fell, and he almost fled out of the house.
Lin Wanwan really relaxed, and the tears of fear could no longer stop sliding down her cheeks.
The sound of opening and closing the door sounded, and she hurriedly stood up again, she had to find a way to get out! But when he stood up, his lower abdomen twitched, and he felt a stream of heat flowing down.
With a white face, she slumped back to the ground.
Luo Hao returned to the outside of the mourning hall, and saw several teams of guards standing in the dark, his eyes flashed, and his face continued to go to the mourning hall as usual. One of the guards suddenly stopped him from behind and whispered a few words in his ear, causing him to change his face in an instant, and turn back in the direction he was coming from.
As soon as he left, a large number of soldiers in armor poured out from both sides of the main hall of the mourning hall, and the knives in their hands shone in the sunlight!
The sudden arrival of the guards made the minister's wife kneeling in the open space so frightened that she forgot to cry, and looked up at all this in a panic and dazed.
Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Chen stood up, and Cao Muzhi, who was full of sorrow beside them, also slowly stood up, and in full view of everyone, he calmly climbed the steps to the mourning hall.
The emperor stopped for a moment when he heard the crying, and he was also shocked that something was wrong, and stood up and looked out.
He saw the teacher approaching step by step.
The next moment, he pushed the queen very quickly, and then pounced to the side himself.
A sharp arrow passed by him.
Screams erupted in the mourning hall.
Someone is going to rebel?!
The Emperor's first reaction was correct, and soldiers with bows and crossbows appeared at the door, surrounding them.
King Ning had already taken advantage of the chaos to approach the emperor and pull him when he was unstable.
When he found that the person next to him was King Ning, the emperor's face changed again, and King Rui next to him had already shouted loudly.
"King Ning, what are you going to do, let go of my imperial brother!"
As soon as he shouted, the bow and crossbow at the door turned around, aiming at the emperor and King Ning.
King Ning laughed out loud in the face of the sharp arrow that could shoot himself into a sieve. "Fourth brother, you thief shouted and caught the thief and had a good time."
King Rui also smiled when he heard this, "Second brother, why don't I understand." Saying that, he clapped his hands, and Princess Ning and Prince Ning were pulled out of the crowd by the guards and pressed down in front of King Rui.
The emperor understood when the crossbow was aimed at him instantly, and his face was pale.
Is he Rui Wang when everyone is a three-year-old child?!
"Second brother, your princess and son are here, and your rebellion is too careless." King Rui was still smiling, and his smile was a little brighter after seeing Emperor Tie Qing's face.
"Zhou Rong! How dare you do such a rebellious thing in front of the queen mother! "The emperor is furious, his brother can still continue to reverse black and white, there are so many clansmen here, does he think that all the people are blind?
At this time, Cao Muzhi had already come to the palace, and then someone was pressed in by the guards.
The Lin family, the Chen family, the commander of the forbidden army, and several generals and nobles who still have military power in their hands.
The emperor glanced at it, and his face turned pale.
Rui Wang, this is the control of the entire capital?
So silent.
The emperor's gaze fell on Cao Muzhi, who was already side by side with King Rui, and there was nothing he didn't understand.
Brother, teacher, what a good union!
Half of the people in this court still rely on him Cao Muzhi!
King Rui admired the emperor's expression with joy in his heart, how long had he been waiting for this moment.
"Brother Huang, do you want to stay and abdicate, or do you want to be killed by King Ning, a chaotic minister and thief, and my imperial brother will quell the chaos and then ascend the throne?"
The emperor was so angry that he staggered, and then he stood up straight, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven was from the inside out, and even being surrounded by groups did not make him retreat.
King Ning thoughtfully glanced at the family in front of King Rui, and said to the emperor beside him: "Your Majesty, you have to be surrounded like this all the time?" What about the people that your father once left for you? Don't tell me I'm going home. β
As soon as these words came out, King Rui suddenly became nervous, what kind of person was left by his father?
The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he was a little puzzled how King Ning could know about such a thing, only he knew about this matter after the death of the first emperor, and even his mother didn't know about it.
Cao Muzhi's face also changed, and he took the knife in the guard's hand and directly crossed the neck of King Ning's son.
"King Ning, if you kill yourself now, you can spare your bloodline's life."
King Ning was simply angry, and sneered: "Lord Cao, you are old and confused, I am like this, will there be a way to live?" Can the family still have a way to live? β
The knife in Cao Muzhi's hand had really fallen towards the neck of King Ning's son.
At this moment, King Ning's prince suddenly opened his mouth, and a silver light flashed and attacked King Rui.
The action was too fast, and the moment Cao Muzhi beheaded King Ning's son, King Rui snorted at the same time, and blood oozed from his shoulder.
Princess Ning also broke free, and attacked King Rui with rapid movements.
King Rui was shocked, and actually pulled Cao Muzhi beside him with one hand, and the small dagger in Princess Ning's hand slashed through Cao Muzhi's chest, and when he wanted to attack again, he was pierced by a knife behind him. Soft fell to the ground.
King Rui was so shocked by this turn that his face turned white, and he hurriedly retreated away from the emperor, and the guards who rushed in hugged him.
Cao Muzhi's official uniform was torn a large piece, and the place where the dagger had been cut was turned outward, and he pressed the wound and looked at King Rui in disbelief. He never thought that King Rui would actually use him as a shield!
Old lady Chen and the descendants of the Chen family all stood in front of the female dependents to block this bloody scene.
King Ning, whose wife and children died tragically, looked idle, and at this time, the guards kicked the two corpses aside and found that something was wrong.
"Lord Wang, this is not Princess Ning and Prince Ning!" It's just two dead men with similar bodies and makeup.
The emperor's pupils shrank, and he looked at King Ning with a complicated expression.
The glazed tiles on the roof suddenly made a noise, falling from above, and more than 20 figures broke through the top and landed steadily in front of the emperor.
This is the person King Ning is talking about.
Old lady Lin, who had been staring at her granddaughter from beginning to end, let go of her clenched hand after thinking about it. "Yo, Cao Laogou, your injury seems to be quite serious, and your son's heart is also very ruthless, regardless of what happened to you at your age. If you say that you will block it, you will block it. β
In a word, it is nothing more than that.
Old Lady Lin's words made everyone in the room almost freeze their brains.
Cao Muzhi didn't know if it was because of blood loss or fright, and his whole face was as white as paper.
King Rui laughed angrily: "Lin Xiang, you are also desperate, and you dare to splash such sewage on this king!" If you don't say anything, I almost forgot about you. β
As he spoke, he called out to the guards and pulled out 'Lin Wanwan'. "No matter how much you have eyes, you can't use it now, I don't want anything to happen to your precious granddaughter, hand over all your weapon artwork now."
Old Lady Lin just shook her head when she heard this, "I'm really going to be defeated in Huaibi." β
The emperor was shocked by Old Lady Lin's words, and the suspicions that had not been contacted in the previous secret investigation were all detained.
And interlocking, there is no clearer one.
King Rui's shoulder hurt more and more, and the emperor was impatient that there were still people in the dark who were not completely controlled. Old Fox Lin obviously knew a lot of things.
"You don't have to talk nonsense, come here, escort Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and take Lin Xiang to get things! As long as Lin Xiang has a change, let Mrs. Xuanping Hou cool down and sharpen the knife again. β
Vile!
Old Lady Chen scolded in his heart when he heard this, and wanted to rush forward, King Rui glanced at him, and said: "Old General Chen, don't be bored, your granddaughter is pregnant with Liujia, but those soldiers under my command have been hungry for a long time, and they have not paid for that kind of different taste." You immediately send a message to your son to send the Chen family's tiger talisman back to Beijing, otherwise......"
When he said this, Chen Silin, who had a slightly bulging belly, had been brought out, and the meaning of her words couldn't be more obvious.
Mrs. Chen scolded him for being a brute with red eyes.
King Rui laughed: "Oh, how can a granddaughter of the Chen family be enough to drag all the daughters of the Chen family out!" β
According to his orders, even Old Lady Chen was forcibly taken out of the ranks, and Old Lady Chen was angry with a pair of tiger eyes.
The emperor looked at King Rui, who was shameless to the extreme, and only his blood was surging, how could the royal family have such a brute!
"Put a signal and let Su Zhaoheng and his son go." The emperor gritted his teeth and whispered orders to the guards.
The person closest to him quickly signaled to the bottom of the house with a large hole.
The blue light suddenly sounded in the sky, and King Rui's face changed, and he ordered: "Kill King Ning to avenge my imperial brother!" β
The crossbowmen outside the house were aimed at the Emperor and King Ning who were being protected in an instant, and at the same time released their strength.
The emperor's personal guards were strictly in front of the two of them, and more than 20 figures in the sword light and arrow shadows fell down.
The blood in the house made the clan relatives scream loudly, and in the panic, some people were scurrying around and being cut down by the guards standing around, which made those clan relatives instantly hug themselves and shrink to the ground, only the eldest princess has been kneeling in place with an indifferent expression.
Old Lady Lin had been escorted out of the main hall, and he sighed as he listened to the screams inside. I hope that the people of the Chen family will not be hurt, and King Ning will be reliable and protect the emperor.
As soon as his thoughts fell, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the palace gate far away from here.
The loud noise shook the earth, and everyone on this side of the mourning hall felt the earth tremble.
The crossbowmen were startled, stopped and released their arrows, and King Ning stretched out his hand and pulled the emperor: "What about the other people in the emperor?" Will I be able to get out? β
The emperor didn't know what was going on in front of him, but he was relieved to see King Ning like this, and this movement was mostly related to him. "In addition to imprisoning Su Zhaoheng's father and son, there are more than 100 people, but they are a little far away." Elsewhere in the Royal Palace.
King Ning lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
King Rui's side was already nervous to let people see what was going on, outside the palace gate was the Luo family's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and nothing should happen to these 10,000 soldiers and horses. What's more, there are 40,000 soldiers and horses surrounding the entire capital.
But the next loud bang came again, closer than the previous one.
"Lord Wang!" The guards who rode in from the front stumbled in, "Lord Wang, it suddenly seems that a fire has fallen outside, opening a gap in the defense at the gate of the palace!" β
When King Rui heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he shook off his subordinates who helped him bandage his wounds. "What skyfire?! Where did the heavenly fire come from! β
It's just that before his words fell, the deafening sound sounded again, and the location was actually in the apse of the mourning hall.
Suddenly, the entire hall shook violently, not only with a loud sound, but also with a wave of heat rushing straight to the mourning hall.
The sound of wanting to protect Queen Rui's retreat suddenly sounded in the hall, and the emperor was also covered by his own guards and rushed out among the panicked guards.
The more than ten guards with Old Lady Lin were all stunned by the momentum of the earth shaking behind them, and looked back at the palace that was slowly collapsing.
Old Lady Lin took advantage of their flashes and rushed out, shouting in the already panicked voices, "Get down all down!" There are also three consecutive bombings!! β
As soon as his voice fell, there were three loud bangs in a row, and in an instant, the palace was in ruins in the firelight.
Old Lady Lin, who was hidden in the crowd, blinked a little weakly, wondering if his grandson had made a mistake in the gunpowder formula, which was more destructive than he expected. The emperor is not dead, right, maybe it is better to die? His grandson-in-law just happened to be on the throne?!
Old lady Lin, who was thinking about the big rebellion, was like a fish that slipped into the sea, so that the guards couldn't find it at all.
The imprisoned Su Zhaoheng father and son had actually escaped a long time ago, and he was followed by a middle-aged man with a damaged face, and the three of them were rushing to the mourning hall surrounded by guards.
Halfway through, I was startled by this loud noise.
Shaoling looked at the place where the black smoke came out and muttered: "Lin Xiang, this is really a ghost, and it is his first share to blow up the palace." β
The corners of Su Zhaoheng's father and son twitched when they heard this, and then they calmed down again, Lin Lao Fox had done a lot of big things, and they had already seen the power of that gunpowder with their own eyes. It's hard for him to smell something wrong before, and set it up first.
"I have to go to the palace, the capital must be surrounded, King Rui's bastard actually said that he would do it, and my soldiers and horses buried outside the capital probably haven't received the news yet." Marquis Wusu glanced at the piece that flashed the firelight, and said to the two of them.
They have always been wary that King Rui will make a move, and after Su Zhaoheng's wedding, they secretly deployed soldiers and horses to prepare for defense, but they didn't expect King Rui to be so urgent, and they didn't even have time to react.
Su Zhaoheng is worried about the outside, and he is worried about the inside.
Old lady Lin dared to ignite the gunpowder at this time, is everyone safe, Wanwan?
When the Queen Mother died, she would definitely have to go into the palace to mourn, and knowing that she was in the palace, she would definitely enter the palace.
Shaoling glanced at Marquis Wu Su, "I got the tip, Su Shizi has already left Beijing, what happened last night." I don't think you need to take any more risks. β
Marquis Wu Su was stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face.
His son is really a person who can do great things, so he can wait for his son to save the scene here with peace of mind.
The three of them paused slightly, and then they were about to go to the mourning hall again, but a figure came out of the dense bushes.
The guard's first reaction was to flash his sword and greet the man who rushed out.
Luo Hao was so anxious that he was sweating with Lin Wanwan in his arms, and was about to take her out of the palace directly, but he was hit by the cold light before he took a shortcut, so frightened that he rolled on the ground, and when he landed, the person in his arms was still protected to death.
Su Zhaoheng saw the shrunken figure clearly in an instant, and exclaimed, "Don't do it!" β
A familiar voice sounded, Luo Hao's expression froze, and he looked up in disbelief, and then saw Su Zhaoheng walking over with a calm face.
"Luo Hao! Let go of Wanwan! β
Shouldn't Wanwan be with Mrs. Lin? Shouldn't King Rui hold her hostage with the Lin family?!
Luo Hao's face also sank, and he swept around the people who were standing.
There is Marquis Wusu, and there is a middle-aged man with a face, but the man with that face is a little familiar.
Lin Wanwan was already in a daze of pain at this time, and her lower abdomen was like a fall to colic, and the heat flow would gush out from time to time.
Hearing the familiar voice, she struggled desperately, it was Su Zhaoheng, Su Zhaoheng was here.
Sensing the actions of the person in his arms, Luo Hao hesitated a few times, and finally said to Su Zhaoheng, who was pressing step by step: "Wanwan is a little bad, she suddenly had a stomachache that she couldn't even stand up, and her skirt was stained with blood. It's not safe in the palace, you have to send her out! I've had people go to the Imperial Doctor and take them out. β
Su Zhaoheng's hand shook violently and rushed forward.
Luo Hao took another step back, "The palace and the palace are full of people from our Luo family, you can't take a step closer to the palace wall." β
Su Zhaoheng looked at Lin Wanwan, who was so weak that she couldn't even speak, and her fists clenched.
Shaoling opened his mouth in the back, "One-third of the military power that your Luo family has received now is the Southern Guard?" β
Luo Hao didn't quite understand why he asked like this, but he still nodded.
"That's even better." Shaoling took off the jade pendant from his waist and asked the guards to hand it over. "Take this, show it to your grandfather, you tell him, stop it in time and I will protect your Luo family this time."
Luo Hao looked at the jade pendant engraved with the Nine Grasping Panlong on the front in front of him and a Xuan character on the back, and his pupils shrank sharply.
This one...... This is......
"The Southern Guards have always been the way to capture the thief and capture the king first, if you hesitate, you are not afraid that you will see your old grandfather in a different place?!"
Luo Hao seemed to come over suddenly, and he was so hesitant in his heart, he still returned Lin Wanwan to Su Zhaoheng.
He looked at her again with affection, and resolutely took the jade pendant and turned around. "I'll have someone bring the Imperial Doctor here."
Lin Wanwan, who was a little confused, fell into the arms of a familiar atmosphere, and suddenly did not move.
Su Zhaoheng noticed the blood clot on Luo Hao's robe, which was so shocking that his hands trembled a little in a panic.
Seeing this situation, Shaoling asked the guards to directly clear the nearest palace first, and asked Su Zhaoheng to wait for the imperial doctor here.
"No, there's King Rui in front of you, it's too dangerous." Su Zhaoheng put Lin Wanwan on the couch chair and stood up.
Shaoling disagreed, "King Rui, what is the danger, Lin Xiang is so troublesome, it is difficult to say whether people are dead or alive, although I have been away from this palace for many years, it is still possible to control it." β
After speaking, the person had already gone out of the door, and Wu Suhou patted him on the shoulder and followed.
As soon as the two left, hundreds of guards arrived to protect the palace.
The mourning hall collapsed, and the pungent smell of gunpowder was everywhere, and King Rui and the others were escorted and rushed out, but they were still so shocked that their ears were buzzing, and they didn't come to their senses for a long time. Cao Muzhi, who was seriously injured, even had difficulty breathing, and kept coughing.
Everyone in the Chen family and Lin Haoqi, who was supporting his father with a weak face, all came to the emperor's side, and King Ning was patting the ashes of his robe, thinking with some horror, this should be over.
It's just that what he wants, Lin Haoqi counted silently in his heart, and then said to the pale-faced cousin beside him: "Quickly hug your cousin, retreat, retreat......"
As he spoke, he was pulling his father back, and the Chen brothers realized something, not only hugged their sister-in-law, but the other two dragged their grandfather and grandmother one by one, as well as their mother and aunt, and then pulled their legs and ran backwards.
Lin Haoqi shouted loudly at this time: "Your Majesty! Run backwards!! β
King Ning patted his hand, scolded in his heart, and grabbed the emperor who had not yet reacted and rushed backwards.
The crowd ran to the steps of the high platform, and there were three consecutive explosions. The sound of explosions rang out.
King Rui, who was still standing on the high platform, didn't react in a hurry at all, a burst of fire jumped in front of him, and there was a loud noise in his ears, and then the whole person was overwhelmed by darkness.
King Ning felt a wave of heat behind him, so he had to throw the emperor out with all his strength, and he himself threw himself forward.
The shock of the sky and the earth cracking shook him, his body was shattered and painful, and King Ning, who was lying on the ground, felt that he was going to be killed by the ancestors and grandchildren of the Lin family! Who swears that it won't be affected!!
Everyone went down to the high platform, and the place where Fang had just been turned into a deep pit, and the palace was in ruins.
Originally violent. The ministers and noblewomen who were so scurrying around are now just standing in place stupidly, and even the guards who surrounded everyone are stupid.
Was their prince engulfed in it just now?
Shaoling also rushed over with the Marquis of Wusu, and as they appeared, more than a hundred guards with firearms also poured in, and the leader of the guards shot at one of the Rui Wang Yu without saying a word.
Than Explosion. There was a small explosion, and the guard fell to the ground before he could react, and there was a blood hole in his chest.
Only then did the leader of the guards shout: "The remnants of the wise king will not kill if they abandon their weapons!" β
After a short silence, a crisp sound of weapons crashing sounded in the open area, and Old Lady Lin was really relieved to see that the person who finally came to the rescue.
***
The mourning hall was blown up, and the ministers and wives experienced a life and death catastrophe, and they all collapsed in place, and then were arranged by the emperor to go to several uninhabited palaces to rest temporarily.
And the emperor and his party were all transferred to the Qinzheng Palace.
As soon as he entered the hall and saw the middle-aged man standing in the middle, he knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and only after a long time did he kowtow to him and shouted, "Prince." β
Shaoling just smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are really old and strong." β
One sentence made the old protector ashamed, and he only kowtowed respectfully three times.
The emperor stood on the side, looking at Shaoling with a very complicated expression, looking at his familiar face that had been eaten by the years.
"When I don't talk about the past, I'm still worried about my daughter-in-law, second brother and Lin Xiang, so I'll bother you to explain it clearly. I'm going to see my daughter-in-law. Shaoling said, just raised his hand and patted the emperor's shoulder, and then strode away with the support of the guards.
The emperor looked at his figure in distraction and rubbed his temples - this was really the prince's brother who he thought had been dead for many years.
King Ning, who was named and still embarrassed, had to ask the emperor to sit down first, and slowly explain the matter to Old Lady Lin.
It all started with the birth of the emperor.
Back then, the first queen and the current queen mother and the former concubine Yun Guifei secretly fought very hard, and when the first queen was in labor, it was also the time when Yun Guifei was about to give birth. The two of them went one after the other, Yun Guifei had a difficult birth, and she gave birth to a child a moment before she fell into a coma and saved her life, and later woke up and learned that she was a prince, so Yun Guifei was really relieved.
However, this prince was born to the queen who died in childbirth, that is, the current emperor.
This kind of ridiculous change of children was secretly ordered by the first emperor.
At that time, the prince had already been found to have been poisoned, and he could not remove the remaining poison as much as the imperial doctor could. And the emperor found out early that it was Yun Guifei, and when he saw that the queen gave birth to the prince, in order to prevent the palace from being unguardable, he thought of this method. Let Concubine Yun raise the queen's son as a parent, and he will assist him from the side.
The prince knew everything, so he loved his younger brother very much back then, who was obviously a compatriot but couldn't recognize him.
Concubine Yun became the queen after the death of the first empress, and she also bet all her efforts on the emperor who thought she was her own son, and she didn't know that the first emperor would put something to avoid her son in her food as long as he had sex with her after that. Just like that, Queen Yun was pregnant again.
The first emperor almost killed her at that time, but it was Concubine Chun, who only knew one of them and didn't know the other, persuaded her, and the first emperor thought about the second son who was gradually raised, so he swallowed this breath. Among them, he secretly sent people to kill the evil seed of King Rui, but they were all detected and protected by Queen Yun. Later, the emperor and the king of Rui were almost protected from revealing a drop of water.
Later, the prince's health became worse and worse, but he survived until the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson. How do you know that the adult King Rui's mind is more vicious than that of his mother, and he directly discussed with Queen Yun that he would kill the prince in the palace. Empress Yun is even more homeopathic, except for Concubine Chun, who has been unpleasant to her for a long time.
At the time of the incident, the prince's first reaction was to save his brother first, and then he would be in danger in his palace, and it was Marquis Wusu who broke into it at that time.
The crown prince knew that his body could not last long, and the first emperor was also old, so he asked the Marquis of Wusu to send the emperor's eldest grandson out, and he had someone around him for many years to protect him, so he absconded with the crown princess. The crown princess died of her injuries shortly after leaving the palace.
Outside the palace, the prince was critically ill several times, and it was an old Langzhong who extended his life.
He lurked in the capital, and then when he heard that it was his brother who had ascended the throne, he knew that the first emperor had arranged everything. appeared in the capital as the son of Shaoling, attracted the attention of the first emperor, and secretly went to find King Ning.
King Ning is the first emperor knew that Yun Hou was ruthless, so he deliberately sealed the king early and put him in the fief, so that he could grow up safely. King Ning also grew up with the crown prince since childhood, and the teachings of the first emperor made the two brothers have a deep relationship, and when they were sent to the fiefdom, the first emperor also secretly gave King Ning 50,000 soldiers and horses. This kind of trust, King Ning has always been grateful to the first emperor.
When the prince arrived in Shuzhong and told King Ning everything, King Ning began to pay attention to the movements in Beijing and monitor King Rui's movements.
Later, it happened that the Su family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and almost killed the Su family's father and son on the battlefield, Shaoling realized that something was wrong, and then investigated deeply and found that King Rui had learned the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson. Only then did he return to Beijing with King Ning to secretly prevent King Rui from making trouble.
The old things in the past, extremely tortuous and bizarre, the emperor learned that he was a thief and his mother, and almost killed his nephew with his own hands, and the king of a country actually cried in front of everyone.
In the end, according to Shaoling's wishes, the emperor only announced what the Queen Mother had done before to the world, and changed his jade butterfly from the new to the name of the former queen, the bodies of the Queen Mother Rui Wang and Cao Muzhi were crushed and ashes, and all the women of the Rui Wang's family were confiscated as military prostitutes. Lin Guanying died on the way to the barracks, naked and abandoned in the field, and all the officials involved in the rebellion were beheaded.
The Luo family has remorse, Shaoling Nian once saved the life of the first emperor and only let the emperor take away the military power and title. And he is still incognito, and Su Zhaoheng's life experience is also secret.
Su Zhaoyu led a large army to rescue, although the rebellion had been quelled, the emperor still added merit to the Marquis of Wusu and was promoted to the Duke of Wuguo. The Xia family knew the truth, and couldn't bear to become crazy, so Wu Guogong arranged a courtyard in the mansion for her to recuperate.
Lin Guanwan was diagnosed with a happy pulse in the palace change, and the treatment was timely, and she recuperated for three months, and her brother was fine.
The emperor wanted to add Su Zhaoheng as the king again, but Su Zhaoheng politely refused, and only safely became his Xuanping Marquis, going up and down every day, and accompanying the terminally ill Shaoling at home.
In the first month of the following year, Lin Wanwan gave birth to Lin'er, and the emperor immediately issued the Marquis of Xuanping for generations to come, and in May of the same year, Shaoling passed away without regret.
