Chapter 441: The Beginning of the Rebellion
There was a huge noise outside the gate of Rui Wang's Mansion, even if Zhou Xianrui didn't rush to protect Xiao Jinxuan.
In fact, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the ** couch and was asking Bao Ge to give the redness and swelling on her legs, and applied good scald medicine, noticed that something was wrong at the first time.
Instinctively, her heart was extremely uneasy, so Xiao Jinxuan immediately called Xin and asked the other party to hurry up and call Su Qi and Bai Chu who lived in the palace to find out what was going on.
And when she finished arranging it here, and the ointment was also applied a little, the door was directly pushed open by the anxious Zhou Xianrui without any warning.
And seeing that this prince was so rude, he came in without even knocking on the door.
also because of the other party's misdemeanor, which almost hurt Xiao Jinxuan and had palpitations, even if he jumped out directly and stopped the other party, Zhou Xianrui was not allowed to approach the ** couch with a look of life or death.
On the other hand, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the ** couch, asked Bao Ge very calmly to bring her cloak, and then she stood up and motioned to Zhuxin to get out of the way first.
Then she frowned and listened to the loud noises that still came from time to time outside, and then looked at Zhou Xianrui with a rather solemn face:
"The prince saw that you were in a hurry, but what happened outside, or that something happened in the palace, right?"
Xiao Jinxuan has always maintained an extremely keen insight into crises and changes in the situation.
Therefore, don't look at her and Zhou Xianrui's stiffness, but in front of serious things, she will never lose a big deal because of a small thing.
And when I saw that Xiao Jinxuan not only put on a cloak, but also walked off the ** couch by herself. Immediately, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but say worriedly:
"That's right, someone outside is storming the gate of the palace, I'm afraid something has happened in the palace, so this king will immediately take the people in the palace to withdraw. When it comes to Jinxuan, it seems that it is okay to see you walking on your own. Isn't the burn on your leg already burning and stinging, so it's much easier for you to move after a while? ”
Knowing that the situation was critical, Xiao Jinxuan did not delay, and asked Zhuxin and Baoge to pick up important items and bring them, and she immediately went out of the room with Zhou Xianrui.
"The prince doesn't have to worry about me, this snow muscle rain cream brought out from the palace does have a miraculous effect on burns. According to the imperial doctor's instructions, rub it once every two hours or so, and now after the third medicine, although there is still some faint pain, it is okay to move. I don't know how Sister Shen is, and Zhou Yi's child. How long can it hold in front of the prince's mansion, and now there is no one present, so you can be honest with me. ”
Although Xiao Jinxuan is a woman, in Zhou Xianrui's eyes, the other party is not only a woman he cherishes, but also an extremely good strategist.
Therefore, he explained to Shen Qing that he was an assistant to mobilize the relatives of the palace, but for Xiao Jinxuan, he could tell all the pressure in his heart. You don't have to be alone anymore.
"The shadow guards in King Rui's mansion, plus the private soldiers in the mansion, are only more than five hundred people. This will not yet attack the palace, because these people have been immediately transferred to the front to meet the enemy by this king. But the comers were not good, and the fall of the palace was only a matter of time. Therefore, before this, you must fight a bloody way to rush out, but Jinxuan, don't worry, there is this king who will definitely not make you have an accident. ”
As the two of them asked and answered, Xiao Jinxuan not only grasped the current situation clearly.
And they also came to the hall of the palace back house, and almost before they entered, the sound of women crying and shouting came out, which made people feel extremely irritable when they heard this.
It was almost the two of them who appeared at the hall door. I only saw the concubine Wu, and Su Qin, who was also full of panic, so he immediately ran over and grabbed Zhou Xianrui's sleeve, and scrambled to say:
"What the hell is going on with the prince, why did the princess tell us to clean up and gather us here, and only said that we would all leave the palace after a while. The noise outside made people panic very much, could it be that you did something that made the emperor angry in the previous dynasty, and now it will not be our mansion that will be raided. ”
As the saying goes, marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, the glory and wealth of this backhouse woman's life is actually tied to her husband in the final analysis.
If men make meritorious achievements and gain face outside, then they can live a life of superior people.
But once her husband loses power and loses, then whether these women are innocent or not, they will inevitably be implicated, so it is not surprising that Su Qin and the others are so anxious.
And seeing that everyone was noisy and noisy, Shen Qing, who was in the Rui Palace, knew that she couldn't help Zhou Xianrui in major matters, but she also made up her mind that she must not ask these ladies in the back house to disturb each other's thoughts.
Therefore, seeing the virtuous and dignified Shen Qing, this will change the normal, but a few steps forward, a slap on the face of the most anxious Su Qin, and then even more scolding:
"What are you crying about, the prince is fine now, you can't cry at will. Now there is some accident in our palace, but this princess is still here, what do you have to panic about. Don't forget what your identity is, just to die for the prince, that's also our duty. ”
After all, Shen Qing is a concubine, and she has always rarely been angry, so this time she really shocked everyone present.
And while Su Qin and the others didn't dare to come forward to cry and entangle, Zhou Xianrui immediately looked at Li Dao, the captain of the shadow guard who was standing on the side with a knife and personally protecting these female dependents.
"How long can it hold out outside, have you figured out how long the knife can evacuate from that exit?"
Hearing this, Li Dao, who was extremely loyal to Zhou Xianrui, immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, and then said with a face full of shame:
"The prince's subordinates are incompetent, and now it has been found out that it is the people of the Xiaocai battalion who intend to forcibly attack the palace outside. And now the mansion is surrounded by each other, and there are more than 2,000 people in sight. Therefore, it is impossible to retreat, and for the sake of today's plan, the subordinates can only protect a carriage and directly rush out of a bloody road. ”
Su Qin and the others, who were standing on the side, first heard that the palace was besieged by thousands of soldiers and horses, and they were so frightened that they almost fainted.
But now that they can still fight their way out of the encirclement and have any hope of escaping, they immediately feared that they would be left behind by Zhou Xianrui, so they immediately knelt on the ground and scrambled to ask the other party to bring themselves.
But I saw that Li Dao glanced at Wu and the others, and then shook his head and said indifferently:
"Tell the prince to enter the carriage and be escorted out by us, because the carriage can withstand most of the arrows. However, if there are too many people in the carriage, the speed will be affected, and then we will not be able to keep up with the speed of the horse in front of us, and no one will try to escape. ”
Ignoring Su Qin and the others, with a desperate and pale face after hearing this, Li Dao immediately bowed his hand to Zhou Xianrui, and then said resolutely:
"The prince is in a critical situation now, and he really can't care about anything else. You and the princess hurriedly got into the car, and your subordinates escorted the two masters out immediately. ”
Zhou Xianrui is the master of the palace, Shen Qing is his concubine, and he is the most wise shadow guard of the palace, and Li Dao will give priority to the lives of the two of them, which is also a natural choice.
But before anyone else could say anything, after investigating the situation, he would take Su Qi and Bai Chu with Xin in the living room.
Immediately, he walked in, and he already snorted very unceremoniously and said:
"What do you mean by the words of Li Wei's talents, the lives of His Royal Highness King Rui and Princess Shen are lives, can it be that the county lord of Zhaoyang of my family should be like a mustard. And your tone is too big, and you really can't help yourself if you want to fight your way out of the encirclement. ”
It's not surprising that Xin would say this, because now the soldiers and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are fighting around at the gate of the mansion, as well as the 100 hidden guards who stayed in the palace to protect Xiao Jinxuan's safety, and the 200 people from the personal guards.
If it weren't for these people in Xiao Jinxuan's hands, who were assisting Li Dao's shadow guards on the side, I am afraid that the people from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion would have rushed in early in the morning.
But now seeing that he had been fighting for a long time on his side, Xiao Jinxuan was about to be thrown down to death when he was in danger, and immediately killed Bai Chu, who was covered in blood, said with a gloomy expression:
"Li Dao, you only have King Rui and Princess Shen in your eyes, but our master is the county lord. Since the Tao is different, and my master doesn't need you to protect him, let's remove the people and escort the county lord to leave alone. I want to see how great you are, and whether you can survive alone. ”
And Su Qi, who stood on the side and never spoke, said that he, like Li Dao, studied under Chi Ling and Chi Ying, so the two of them can be said to be brothers in the same sect.
But even if there was such a relationship, Su Qi still pulled out the whip and protected Xiao Jinxuan's side without hesitation, looking at Li Dao with a dangerous look in his eyes.
After all, in Su Qi's heart, Xiao Jinxuan gave him all this to be reborn and start a new life, and he would never agree to anyone who dared to endanger the other party.
Seeing that the cavalry battalion had not yet attacked, the atmosphere in this hall had begun to be a little chaotic, and the two sides were no longer cooperating with each other, but were opposed to each other.
Although she knew that Xin and the others were dedicated to protecting her, Xiao Jinxuan still held Su Qi's whip, and then said with a hint of command in her tone:
"Shut up for me, and don't look at any occasion when you are still so infighting. Especially you, Xin, have been by my side for so long, don't you know how to focus on the overall situation? In fact, what Li Dao said is not wrong, the prince and the princess are safe and sound, this is the most important thing. Only if they are alive, the Rui Wangfu will still be powerful, and the Xue clan will have someone to restrain and resist. So here I will stay behind and try to make more people in the house survive. As for Su Qi, you are all in charge of helping the prince's carriage break through, if anyone dares to raise an objection, I will immediately correct the law on the spot. ”
The time spent with Xiao Jinxuan is not short, and Su Qi, Bai Chu and others also understand that the other party's personality is the same, and the decisions they make will not change.
Xiao Jinxuan is their master, even if she is reluctant to do so, Su Qi and Bai Chu still gritted their teeth fiercely, and immediately knelt down to receive the order, without saying any dissenting words.
In fact, everyone present knows that whoever will stay will be killed.
While everyone was shocked by Xiao Jinxuan's words of judging the situation and not fearing life and death, they saw Shen Qing suddenly chuckle and said with a solemn expression:
"Jinxuan, you have a heart, my sister heard your words, even if she died, she was satisfied. But even if I am indeed Princess Rui, in the current situation, I, Shen Qing, will only become a burden to the prince. But you're different, my sister is a scheming person, and her courage is not lost to any man. Therefore, sitting in the palace or my useless sister comes, you hurry up and leave with the prince, Kuang Fu His Royal Highness will kill the rebellion, and protect me The burden of peace in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be entrusted to you. ”
