Chapter 5: Mutiny in the Palace

Concubine Yi asked someone to clean up a table of exquisite side dishes early and prepared the good wine brought from her hometown of Yibin.

The two sat at the table, looking at each other affectionately, with a thousand words in their hearts, but they were speechless for a while.

Concubine Yi Guifei saw that Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were full of pampering for herself, lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand, picked up the side dishes on the table, placed them on the plate in front of Emperor Xuanwu, and said softly: "The saint is tired all day long, but he has a bad appetite, Yi'er specially ordered someone to make some of the saint's favorite side dishes, do you want to taste it to your appetite?" ”

Emperor Xuanwu's heart fluctuated, and he asked with a smile, "How does Concubine Ai know that I have a bad appetite recently?" ”

Concubine Yi sighed and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it was Father-in-law Tuohai who asked, so I knew." ”

Emperor Xuanwu felt that she cared so much about herself, and hurriedly raised the spoon to put the small dishes on the plate into her mouth, chewed for a while, and smiled in surprise: "After so many years, Yi'er still remembers this dish that I love so much?" ”

Concubine Yi turned her face away with shame, and said softly: "No matter how long it is, how can I forget what you love?" If you're up for the right appetite, you might as well eat more! ”

Emperor Xuanwu looked at her distractedly, feeling guilty in his heart, and unconsciously ate a few more chopsticks and side dishes.

Seeing that his face was still sallow, Concubine Yi felt sorry in her heart, and reached out to remove the wine glass on the table, but was stopped by Emperor Xuanwu with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm happy today, so let's have a few drinks with Concubine Ai!"

Only then did Concubine Yi get up and pour some wine shallowly, and her eyes just looked at him with concern, for fear of causing him to get sick.

Although Emperor Xuanwu was happy in his heart, but because of his poor health, he took a few sips, put down the wine glass, looked at the amorous Concubine Yigui, and his heart was full of true feelings, he reached out, took her a pair of jade hands, and said softly: "Yi'er, I look at you, I'm already drunk!" ”

Concubine Yi lowered her head shyly and said softly: "You and I have been separated for fifteen years, you look at me, are you already much older?" ”

Emperor Xuanwu looked at her beautiful face, blushed at this time, his heart was full of passion, and he shook his head with a smile and said: "Concubine Ai looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old at most, how can she talk about old age?" It's me, I'm really old! ”

After saying this, a sudden pain came from his chest, and Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but cough violently.

Concubine Yi got up in fright, turned behind him, gently beat his back, and asked in a low voice, "Why does the Holy Lord always cough?" Have you ever seen it to the imperial doctor? ”

Emperor Xuanwu stopped coughing for a while, sighed and said: "I am already an old disease, and the imperial doctor is just barely prolonging my life with medicine!" However, you can rest assured that I will place your mother and daughter properly a hundred years ago......"

"How can you say such a thing?"

Concubine Yi saw that his sallow face was full of forbearance, and her chest rose and fell violently, thinking that it was an old illness again, she was sad in her heart, she hid her face and cried, and she couldn't speak.

Emperor Xuanwu felt tired, so he had to lean on Concubine Yi slightly, feeling that she was soft, his heart was agitated, and he was about to reach out to hold her hand, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he couldn't help bending down, and a trace of cold sweat began to break out on his head.

Concubine Yi Guifei saw that his face turned pale in pain, and she panicked, and hurriedly called the eunuch on duty outside the palace to call the imperial doctor, and she and several palace maids worked together to help Emperor Xuanwu to the bed.

Emperor Xuanwu had even more severe pain in his abdomen, and a thought suddenly crossed his heart, gasped, endured the severe pain in his abdomen, and asked the chief eunuch Hai Gonggong to enter the palace in a hurry.

After a while, the imperial physician and King Jing hurriedly entered the palace with their front and back feet.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the imperial doctor rushed over to see a doctor, his face suddenly changed greatly, he knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, you are a symptom of poison in your body!" The sinner deserves to die, the medical skills are too shallow......"

Emperor Xuanwu was dying at this time, and his eyes were fixed on Concubine Yi who was crying silently in front of the bed, and he wanted to speak out to appease her, but he had no strength, so he had to stretch out his hand to the pale-faced Prince Jing, and said intermittently: "Deyong...... I...... No more...... You want...... You have to protect Concubine Yi and Princess Xinrou......"

Prince Jing was shocked, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted: "Holy rest assured, the ministers will be ordered to protect their mother and daughter." It's just that I don't know who dares to poison the saint? I will investigate this matter strictly and break the culprit into pieces! ”

Emperor Xuanwu opened his eyes, turned to look at Concubine Yi who was about to collapse from crying, and stretched out his hand to hold her, but blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, and his throat was already full of qi, and there was no more qi.

Just in the blink of an eye, Emperor Xuanwu was already tilted his head and died in Huangquan.

Where would Concubine Yi have imagined that a good feast would become such a tragic situation, let alone that the family was separated by fifteen years, and it was not easy to get together, only a few days, separated by yin and yang, and it would be difficult to see each other forever.

The more she thought about it, the more painful it became, and she threw herself on the corpse of Emperor Xuanwu and let out a loud cry of grief.

King Jing gritted his teeth and got up, and as the regent, he immediately ordered Yang Wenguang, the commander of the Beijing Division, to close the city gate, lead 5,000 Praetorian Guards into the palace, strictly guard the news, and prevent mutiny in the palace.

But Gonggong Hai, who had just gone out to announce the decree, only turned around, and then hurried in again, and said to Prince Jing with a panicked expression: "Lord Jing, something is wrong!" Taishi Yu Chunjie led a thousand men and horses, and the entire Yuexin Hall was already surrounded by water! ”

Prince Jing looked at Concubine Yi who was crying to death, gritted his teeth, and snorted coldly in his nose: "Don't panic, I have my own way to deal with it!" ”

He instructed the palace maid to help Yi Guifei up, he didn't dare to look at her sad expression at this time, don't turn his face, Shi Li said softly: "Yi Guifei, you hold back your grief for the time being, so you can rest!" When I calm down the changes in this palace, I will definitely bring the murderer to justice! ”

Concubine Yi raised her eyes when she heard the sound and was about to go to see him, but Prince Jing suddenly turned around and ran out of the hall quickly.

Concubine Yi was stunned in place, and her heart was even more painful.

As soon as King Jing ran out of the hall, he suddenly saw Yu Chunjie standing in the open space outside the hall with a cold face, and the black pressure behind him was full of soldiers with weapons in their hands, and there were dozens of people, holding bright candles, illuminating the dark empty courtyard brightly.

Prince Jing didn't see the slightest panic, looked at Yu Chunjie coldly, and shouted loudly: "Bold Taishi, dare to collude with the queen to kill the monarch and usurp the throne!" Aren't you afraid that the thousands of people of my Great Chen Kingdom will spit on you? ”

Yu Chunjie laughed and said: "Lord Jing, don't you know that this Da Chen's throne will be the crown prince sooner or later?" In doing so, we are just making this natural thing a few days earlier, so why not kill the king and usurp the throne? Those who know the times are Junjie, if you hand over the concubine Yi Gui, who has brought disaster to the country and the people, I will definitely ask the prince to ensure that you will be prosperous and rich in the future! ”

Chen Deyong stood proudly and said loudly: "Bah, shameless traitor and thief, don't be arrogant!" If you want to hurt Concubine Yi's mother and son, if you have the guts, you must first step over my Chen Deyong's body! ”

Yu Chunjie frowned, seeing that Prince Jing was standing firmly in front of the palace, not angry but mighty, with a natural kingly spirit, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart: "It doesn't take much effort to kill him, but this person has a very high prestige in the court, but I am afraid that after killing him, it will arouse public anger, which is not conducive to my grandson's inheritance of the unification!" It's just that if you don't kill him, I'm afraid that this person will still be a big trouble in the future! ”

He was thinking about it to himself and couldn't make up his mind, but he heard someone report loudly: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Before the words fell, everyone saw a group of palace maids with lanterns in front of the road, followed by a sedan chair, quickly came to the front of the main hall, after landing, the soft curtain was lifted by the palace maids, and a person walked out of the sedan chair, the phoenix crown and the curtain, the glamorous and cold Ling, it was the queen Yu of the current Dachen country.

Queen Yu glared at her father, turned her face to look at Prince Jing standing in front of the hall, and said with a smile: "Lord Jing, why are you here to be hypocritical and full of loyalty and morality?"

Our Da Chen Kingdom, no one knows, who doesn't know, as the only younger brother of the saint today, one person under ten thousand people, all day long, forming a party for personal gain, openly and secretly cultivating power for himself, just need to stand by and wait, waiting for my weak child to follow his father and emperor, and you will inherit the unification in the name of righteousness! ”

Prince Jing's face was pale, he snorted coldly, pointed at Queen Yu's nose and scolded: "You are still my imperial sister-in-law, you have the courage to say that you have an ambitious leopard, and you are even blind with a pair of dog eyes!"

The whole country, who doesn't know that I, Chen Deyong, am dedicated to the country and have never done anything unconscionable? It's you, who did this crazy thing, and you're still beating up here!

If you still think of the prince's name, quickly kneel down and plead guilty, and I will spare you from death and ensure that the prince ascends the throne smoothly! ”

"Is it" When Empress Yu heard this, she sneered and stared at Prince Jing, and said loudly, "I'm afraid that if we kneel on the ground and beg for mercy on the front foot, Lord Jing, you will correct the law on the spot with us on the back foot." Hahaha, are you a three-year-old?

I advise you to be arrested, and we will kindly push this matter on the mother and daughter of unknown origin, so that the anger of the public can be calmed down peacefully, so that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly. After this is done, I will surely keep you as regent, and the generations to come will enjoy glory and wealth forever. ”

King Jing lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at her, a cold breath came out of his eyes, and he said in a muffled voice: "What if I don't want to obey you? What will you do? ”

Queen Yu shook her head and sighed: "Then I have nothing to do." I had to step on the corpse of your Jing prince to go in and arrest the mother and daughter who killed the king and usurped the throne, and immediately ordered the world to break their bodies into thousands of pieces, so that the prince could ascend the throne as soon as possible! ”

After hearing this, Prince Jing knew that Yu Chunjie and Queen Yu were desperate to turn back, so he took a deep breath and raised his head

Looking at His Royal Highness, he suddenly shouted loudly: "I, Chen Deyong's soldiers, don't you hurry up to catch these rebellious ministers and thieves who kill the monarch and usurp the throne?" ”
