381. 382 The rebels forced the palace and fled from the prince's mansion
At night, inside the Prince's Mansion, it seems to be quiet.
In fact, the relationship between the full moon and the crown prince has changed dramatically.
Lin Jian would rather hate him and scold her than her lightly, it is not His Highness's fault!
He seemed to see that their relationship would stop at this moment in the future.
In the study, Lin Jian slowly got up from the wheelchair and stood with his hands in his hands, his expression gloomy.
"Your Highness, the masked man has not appeared yet, and the guards in Cining Palace today have also re-investigated, and they have not found any suspicious persons."
Su Kang was in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"He has a soft gold order, so naturally he has the ability to make us unable to find it." Lin Jian seemed to have expected such a result a long time ago.
"Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent." Su Kang was unspeakably ashamed.
"Your Highness, do you really think that person is hiding among the guards today?" Su Kang asked in a low voice.
"The first time I saw him, it was because he secretly met with the full moon, and the second time, I wasn't sure at first, but when Li Xuan was captured by Nian Huisheng, I had to believe it! With Li Xuan's ability, he was in the dark, and he didn't have to take action in person to kill those two palace maids, but in the end, it evolved into Li Xuan being discovered and fighting with Nian Hui, under the premise that Nian Hui didn't find out, he could only be reminded by someone around him! ”
"Your Highness is wise." Su Kang suddenly realized.
"Before my father returns, this person will still appear and wait and see what happens." Lin Jian's tone was light, but his face was indescribably stern and cold.
"Where did the full moon go before she came back today?" Lin Jian suddenly thought of something and asked coldly.
"Your Highness, today, the Linghu Lady came back alone, didn't you let her go first in the palace?" Su Kang was stunned for a moment, but still told the truth.
"You-you shit! I said so, but you really didn't follow her in the shadows? ”
As soon as Lin Jian's words came out, Su Kang and the hidden guards who were hidden in the shadows all knelt on the ground.
He knew he was missing an opportunity!
From the time she left the palace to the time she returned to the Prince's Mansion, during this time, she should have gone to meet that person!
If that person is secretly helping her, then he will definitely join her!
But now this opportunity has been missed, and missing is missing! Neither the full moon nor that person will give him a second chance!
"Your Highness, your subordinates deserve death!" Su Kang was vaguely aware of what had happened, and his remorse was palpable.
"Indeed, you deserve to die! But now that you're dead, what can you do? ”
Lin Jian escaped in a cold voice and waved his hand to make Su Kang and the others all retreat.
He needs someone to calm down!
In the study, Lin Jian sat back in the wheelchair, and a cold air rushed out from the depths of his pupils.
She is a secret he must be involved in to the end! It doesn't matter who that person is! I can't even meet her right under his nose.
――
In the next month, I didn't see Lin Dongyao during the full moon.
And between her and Lin Jian, she also maintained the relationship between the prince and her subordinates, and never crossed half a step.
The situation in Kyoto, during this month, seems to be normal on the surface. It's just that it gives her a sense of calm before the storm.
The closer to the day when the emperor returns, the more uneasy the full moon becomes, and when he falls asleep at night, he sleeps in his clothes.
One night, just after the third watch, the full moon was not sleepy.
Suddenly, I heard the noise of people outside the window.
She almost jumped out of bed and quickly got out of bed and came to the door.
In the courtyard, Su Kang was pushing Lin Jian's wheelchair and was coming over quickly.
"Full moon, water! Come with me! ”
Lin Jian couldn't help but say, grabbed the hand of the full moon and walked to the backyard.
When the full moon looked up, he found that the front hall of the Prince's Mansion was burning at some point! When did this product start, she didn't even know?
During these days, because the prince's mansion was heavily guarded inside and outside, Yinxiu was waiting for her orders outside the prince's mansion.
Looking at the skyrocketing firelight, the heart of the full moon sank instantly.
"Your Highness, isn't that the direction of the palace over there? Isn't it also out of the water? The full moon pointed to the fireworks rising in the direction of the palace not far away.
"It's a wolf smoke signal. Grandma Huang is in danger! ”
Lin Jian's pupils condensed for a moment.
He patted the armrest of the wheelchair hatefully, but at this time he still had to continue to play, and he couldn't run up!
"Su Kang, what's the situation now?" Lin Jian grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair with one hand, and held the hand of the full moon tightly with the other, for fear that she would disappear.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the hidden guard sent news that a large number of unknown black-clothed guards have surrounded the Linguo Mansion, and the Iron Guards in the mansion are fighting to the death with the black-clothed guards, and the black-clothed guards have also set fire to the Linghu Marquis Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now they have entered the palace!"
Su Kang's words were chilling in every word.
"What is the identity of the rebels?"
Lin Jian gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"The rebels are dressed in black and move fast! The exact identity is not known at this time. Su Kang said.
"If you want to know their true identity, you have to go to the palace!"
As soon as Lin Jian's words came out, Su Kang's face changed drastically.
"Your Highness, you can't enter the palace!" Su Kang said as he made a face towards the full moon.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister knows that you care about the safety of the Queen Mother, but now it is useless for you to enter the palace, but you have fallen into the trap of the other party! For today's plan, His Royal Highness will defend the Prince's Mansion to the death! If the people outside can't get in, they will definitely find a way to meet with the prince to negotiate conditions! Even if it is forced to the palace, you have to find out the identity of the other party before you can act! ”
The full moon held Lin Jian's hand with her backhand, and so far, she didn't care about whether men and women were kissed or not.
Unexpectedly, what Lin Dongyao worried about really came true!
Now it's not just the Prince's Mansion that is in crisis, but Lin Dongyao is also-
Seeing that the full moon suddenly became distracted, Lin Jian held her hand tighter.
"Full Moon, do you think of anything?"
"-No. Your Highness, Su Kang and I will push you to a safe place first. ”
Almost as soon as the full moon fell, the sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded.
"It's a feather arrow!"
The full moon let out a low snort, and Su Kang pushed Lin Jian and ran towards the room.
Behind the three of them, the hidden guards who arrived in time were already holding shields in the courtyard.
The sound of feathered arrows broke through the air, and thousands of feathered arrows were projected from a distance and landed in the courtyard.
Some of the feathered arrows still had a flaming glow.
Inside the house, Lin Jian looked at the sky-high fire in the courtyard, gritted his teeth and said,
"If you can't shoot me, you will burn me!"
"Your Highness, most of the hidden guards have been dispatched, do you want to send more people?" Seeing this scene, Su Kang looked at Lin Jian worriedly.
"No!"
"No!"
The next moment, Full Moon and Lin Jian said in unison.
Su Kang was stunned, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
"Now the two sides are still tentative, and they can't wait for the prince's mansion to show all their hole cards! It is impossible for such an army to come out overnight! Their hole cards are shallower than ours, so we'll wait and see! No further action is required for the time being. ”
The full moon explained in a deep voice.
Lin Jian nodded, agreeing with Full Moon's words.
In the courtyard, the hidden guards have to block the feather arrows on the one hand, and they have to dispatch fire extinguishing on the other, although the situation is critical, but the courtyard is still in order, and there is no chaos.
"I wonder what the situation in the palace is now?" Lin Jian closed his eyes, the Queen Mother loved him the most, he naturally understood! Now there are rebels forcing the palace, but he can't enter the palace to save him!
He hated himself for being in a wheelchair now! If it weren't for the full moon in front of you! He really doesn't want to continue acting in this play! But for now, it seems to be the only nexus that holds their relationship together!
Su Kang looked at Lin Jian's tangled expression, and he was also anxious for him!
But His Royal Highness really values the Linghu Lady too much!
"Your Highness, what we have to do now is to use the limited information to grasp as much of the situation outside as possible! The reason why the rebels are doing both of them, setting fire to multiple courtyards at the same time, is to make us mess with ourselves, so that we don't have time to enter the palace! ”
Full Moon is keeping the calm she deserves at the moment, perhaps because she has been mentally prepared in advance, so she can quickly calm down now.
Lin Jian nodded, and escaped in a deep voice,
"My father is not in Kyoto, and Li Jingtian left Kyoto with his father last month and has returned to the border. Now the palace is controlled by Lin Ran. ”
"His Royal Highness Lin Ran's strength is very clear, but he's just a clown!"
"Lin Donghe?" Lin Jian frowned, always feeling that with Lin Donghe's style of acting, he would not be so risky. Lin Donghe is good at buying people's hearts and winning by attacking hearts.
"There are less than 50,000 troops in Kyoto, 20,000 Janissaries, 20,000 in the hands of Prince Jing, the remaining 10,000 are distributed in the back of the family, and 50,000 troops in the suburbs of Beijing. Now it seems that the 50,000 troops on the outskirts of Beijing have not yet entered the palace! Today, the army that caused the riots on the outskirts of Kyoto is only among the 50,000 troops in Kyoto. ”
The full moon made the situation suddenly clear.
"It's Prince Jing!"
"Your Highness, the full moon is just a guess!" So says the full moon.
Although Lin Dongyao revealed some before, the full moon cannot accurately know what the specific situation is now.
This is a major event to force the palace, and there must be new changes before it is carried out!
Outside the prince's mansion, the sound of killing shook the sky. It seems that the rebels have begun to attack the prince's mansion.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the guards of the Prince's Mansion will definitely be able to withstand the rebels!"
Su Kang clenched his fists and assured in a deep voice.
"Nope! No need to keep it! Retain your strength! ”
Lin Jian shook his head suddenly, seeing that his attitude seemed to be about to give up the Prince's Mansion.
"As long as they fail to force the palace, the Prince's Mansion will always be mine! Give the order to go down and retreat on all fronts! ”
As soon as Lin Jian's words came out, Su Kang gritted his teeth and took the order.
This means that the Prince's Mansion will be surrendered! And after Lin Jian withdrew from the Prince's Mansion, he could only temporarily retreat to the back mountain.
Su Kang left the room, and the body of the hidden guard who could see the arrow in the courtyard was dragged away by the other hidden guards, and the Prince's Mansion, which had been built for less than three months, was completely in a sea of fire at this moment.
The air was filled with the sound of wooden beams being burned, and there were collapsed beams everywhere. Most of the entire Prince's Mansion was caught in flames.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Jian's expression was calm.
Only when danger comes, you can see the person you care about the most in your heart.
"Full Moon, no matter what happens today, you won't leave me, will you?" He looked at her fixedly, his eyes bright and expectant.
Full Moon nodded.
"Full moon, am I being selfish? If I really love you, I should let you go! Instead of putting you in danger with me! ”
Lin Jian at this moment is contradictory and entangled.
"Your Highness, now you let me run, where can I run? Let's wait and see! In fact, His Royal Highness's Prince's Mansion is not said to be impregnable, but it is also an iron wall that will be insurmountable for a while and a half, Your Highness, this time is the most precious time for us, what are your Royal Highness's plans? ”
The full moon diverted the topic, not wanting Lin Jian to continue to dwell on the question just now.
"What worries me most now is the safety of Grandma Huang. I want to enter the palace. Lin Jian blurted out.
"Your Highness, this is unrealistic." The full moon has no time to say euphemism, so it can only directly pick out the key points.
"In fact, it is the palace that has suffered the least loss now! The palace is difficult to attack, unless it is a combination of inside and outside, there is nothing the rebels can do! Most of the rebel army is now outside the palace, because it is necessary to control the zhì family and the Hou Mansion first, on the contrary, because there are rebels in the palace, it is the most peaceful for the time being! ”
"You mean, if the Marquis Mansion is defeated, it will intensify the rebels' true colors?" Lin Jian looked at her thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, whether it is the Linghu Marquis Mansion, the Linguo Mansion, or the Prime Minister's Mansion, they will not show all their strength at this moment! But the rebels seem to have forgotten a place! ”
"You said Pang Hou Mansion!" Lin Jian suddenly realized.
Pang Hou Mansion is a legendary ghost mansion, so no one will go in and out there all the year round, and Pang Rui came back this time and did not bring back a single soldier, so the rebels will naturally skip Pang Hou Mansion directly! Coupled with the ghost legend of Panghou Mansion, the rebels did not want to touch their heads, so they naturally avoided Panghou Mansion.
"This Pang Rui-" Lin Jian was also worried about whether Pang Rui would be in league with the rebels, if so, then he would really be caught in the net.
"Your Royal Highness, I have been in contact with Pang Rui a few times before, and the relationship between him and the emperor is indeed questionable, but there is no foundation in Pang Rui's palace, only the emperor's words, he has no chance of winning this time! His purpose is unknown, but he will not act rashly at this moment! Besides, His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother's people are staring at him day and night! If Pang Rui wants to act, it will not be a forced palace! He must have a trump card in his hand that we can't see clearly! ”
The analysis of the full moon, although reasonable, still has an element of risk.
"Okay, go to Panghou Mansion!"
Lin Jian nodded without hesitation.
Instead of retreating to the back mountain, it is better to go to the Panghou Mansion to find out!
At this point, even the haunted Panghou Mansion is no different from the dangerous back mountain!
――
At the same time, the Linghu Marquis Mansion
Linghu Hongxi took Linghu Quan and others and quickly retreated to the back mountain of the Hou Mansion.
Ling Huquan's face was pale, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
"Big brother, how can this be? Who are these rebels? Didn't the guards just say that the Prince's Mansion was also set on fire? Will the full moon be okay? Ling Huquan was frightened, and he was most concerned about the safety of the full moon.
Ling Hu Hongxi's face was not good, and he was barely able to keep his composure at the moment.
