Chapter XXXII: Rebellion

One of Mu Yunqi's stand-ins came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mu Zhiyuan looked at the masked man and said, "I didn't know that Lord Yun had such skills. ”

"Lord Yun is also being monitored, so he sent me and others to disturb the sight of the King of Chu, and now Lord Yun is arranging for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to rescue the Zuo Qin family, and Lord Yun has asked him to inform the Prime Minister that the antidote has been completed, and it is time to act."

Mu Zhiyuan nodded, and waved his hand to show that he knew that he could retreat.

As soon as the man left, Mu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and asked himself, "Who is Yun Murong, and is this person reliable?" ”

Mu Yunqi came to Situ Jing's secret room by herself, took out a small box from the dark box under the bed where she had once laid, she took the small box into her arms and left.

Mu Yunqi picked up a fast horse and rushed straight to the city defense barracks.

Situ Zhong was stepping up torture in the Criminal Department at this time, and the interrogation of Situ Jue was too slow, and someone from the Zuo and Qin families had already drawn up a charge to testify that King Qin was planning a rebellion. Situ Xuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine when he saw the evidence of the painting, watching the Zuo Qin family and the two families were quickly convicted, he seemed to see the river of blood flowing in the capital, and seemed to see Yun Murong angry and wanted to kill him.

Mu Yunqi took advantage of Situ Zhong's absence in the palace to come to the camp of the city defense army, and quickly summoned all the generals to come to the meeting, and everyone walked into the commander's tent and saw Yun Murong looking at the sand table map of the capital.

After Mu Yunqi saw that everyone had arrived, he showed his talisman and said: "King Qin is trapped in the palace, hand over the city defense army talisman to the lower official, and the lower official will deploy troops into the palace today." ”

As soon as the people below saw the talisman, they shouted in unison after listening to Yun Murong's command: "Yes!" ”

After speaking, Mu Yunqi arranged for all the generals to gather their men and horses and rush into the palace, and Mu Yunqi took the lead. Approaching the palace gate, the gatekeeper saw that so many people rushed over and hurried to close the door, Mu Yunqi's horse front hooves flew and kicked towards the palace gate that had not yet been closed, and then several horses caught up and kicked the palace gate open, and a group of people did not even get off the horse, quickly passed through the palace gate, and approached Qiongxi Palace all the way. As soon as the defenders on the tower reacted, they were already controlled by the city guards who rushed up the tower.

Several detachments went to the place where King Rui and King Qin were under house arrest and released them, and all the palace concubines were also released one by one, and they all rushed into Qiongxi Palace.

When the palace people of Qiongxi Palace saw that someone was going to break into the palace and intercept it, Mu Yunqi pulled out the sword of the descendant and killed him with a sword. This momentary action made the people behind her dumbfounded, and no one expected that the polite servant of the ministry would actually raise a knife in his hand without blinking.

When Mu Yunqi broke into Qiongxi Palace and came to the front of the palace where the emperor lived, Situ Xi and Situ Jing also came, and the three of them broke in together, only to see that Concubine Jiang was sick and could still get up, and the emperor had been lying in bed unconscious.

Concubine Jiang wanted to step forward to stop them, but was controlled by the soldiers behind. At the same time, the king of Chu also received news that he led the Praetorian Guards to Qiongxi Palace, and Prime Minister Mu Cheng also rushed over with a group of officials. At this time, the Qiongxi Palace was really lively, the Praetorian Guard and the city defense army confronted each other, and surrounded the entire Qiongxi Palace with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Mu Yunqi had already come to the emperor's side and was about to feed him the antidote, but was stopped by Situ Zhong, "Bold thief, you actually want to murder your father, take it for me." ”

As soon as the people of the Praetorian Guard moved, the people of the city defense army also moved, and the two sides were evenly matched, Situ Zhong was furious when he saw this: "Situ Xi, Situ Jing, do you want to rebel?" ”

Situ Xi stood in front of them and said: "Who is going to rebel, put the prince and the palace concubine under house arrest, and ignore the life and death of my father." ”

Then, his eyes signaled Mu Yunqi to hurry up, and Mu Yunqi received his eyes and immediately took out the antidote to heal the emperor.

Seeing this, Situ Zhong rushed forward and shouted, "Yun Murong, how many heads do you dare to murder your father." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't have time to deal with him, so he handed him over to Situ Xi and Situ Jing to solve it, and he concentrated on healing the emperor. Seeing that she didn't stop, Situ Zhong reached out to grab her, but was pulled down by Situ Jing, Situ Xi and Situ Jing stood in front of the bed, and protected Mu Yunqi tightly behind him.

Mu Yunqi glanced at them, turned his head and went to treat the emperor seriously, no longer distracted.

Situ Zhong looked at the posture of the two people, and said: "The adults have seen it, these two people are harboring traitors, if the father and emperor have any dispersion today, these two people are accomplices of the monarch killers. ”

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say anything, in the end, it was Mu Zhiyuan who stepped forward and said: "King Chu doesn't have to worry too much, Master Yun has excellent medical skills, and he will definitely be able to save His Majesty from life and death." ”

"The Prime Minister really treats Lord Yun as his own family, and he carefully raised a white-eyed wolf."

Situ Zhong watched his mother concubine being escorted at this time, and pushed those people away with great displeasure, but Situ Jing took the first step to control Concubine Jiang, Situ Zhong was immediately angry, and drew his sword and stabbed at Situ Jing.

Situ Xi grabbed his wrist, snatched the sword with one luck, and the person was also pushed far away by Situ Yu's palm, inserted it back into the scabbard and said, "You dare to dance the sword in front of your father." ”

Situ Xi and Situ Jing both ran to Concubine Jiang, there was no barrier in front of Mu Yunqi, Situ Zhong flew up and slapped Mu Yunqi, this change was too sudden, so that everyone didn't have time to save Mu Yunqi, only heard someone's frightened voice, but it was too late.

Situ Zhong's palm was directed towards Mu Yunqi, seeing that he slapped Mu Yunqi on the shoulder, but he was rebounded by a huge force and fell to the ground, and suddenly a mouthful of blood filled his mouth, and he was pushed out and spit to the ground.

Everyone was surprised, only to see Mu Yunqi glance at Situ Zhong on the ground contemptuously, unharmed, and continued to give the emperor acupuncture.

Mu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, what was the origin of this Yun Murong, not only was he witty, but also his martial arts were extraordinary. This kind of person is inevitably not afraid, once he becomes an enemy, he must be a fierce enemy, but fortunately he was brought over as soon as possible.

After more than a stick of incense, Mu Yunqi took back the silver needle, got up and said to everyone: "Your Majesty's illness is caused by poisoning, and the ministers have found an antidote for Your Majesty to take, and just now I gave Your Majesty an injection to protect the heart, and I should be able to wake up soon." ”

At this time, Concubine Jiang took advantage of everyone's inattention, trotted to Mu Yun and grabbed her sleeve before she got up and said, "My lord, help me, I was also infected with the plague by Your Majesty." ”

Mu Yunqi looked down at her eyes and said, "It's not the plague, you know best." ”

Then she raised her head and said loudly to everyone: "This poison is the poison of Ula in the Western Regions, made of the poisonous herbs unique to Ulla, and with incense as a guide, it makes people sick, like a plague. ”

Situ Zhong was anxious, "You are spurting blood." ”

"Whether I'm a bloody squirt or not, this, Concubine Jiang knows best." Mu Yunqi turned his head to look at Concubine Jiang again.

Concubine Jiang still said without admitting it: "This is a plague that can be contagious, and the concubines who take care of Your Majesty day and night are also infected, can't this prove that it is a plague?" ”

Mu Yunqi suddenly snorted, "Since you don't admit it, then please come with your subordinates." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by soldiers outside. As soon as Mu Yunqi raised his arm, the soldiers who were holding her were knocked to the ground.

The ministers behind her looked at each other, and she led everyone into Concubine Jiang's secret room and carried out her pile of bottles and cans.

Mu Yunqi put these things in front of Concubine Jiang, and Concubine Jiang's face immediately became ugly, her eyes were erratic, and she didn't know where to put them.

Mu Yunqi walked up to Concubine Jiang, glared at her condescendingly and said, "Originally, I just got the imperial medical case thirteen years ago and I was still uncertain, until I ......", she covered her lips with her hand and whispered in Concubine Jiang's ear and continued: "Until I sneaked into the palace, tried all the medicines in this box for you, and then lit incense, and soon you also got the plague, I firmly believed that there was no problem with this medical case." ”

Although she spoke in a small voice, everyone's attention was now focused on her, so everyone understood what was going on.

Situ Zhong suddenly said angrily: "Yun Murong, you are a villain, save my mother and concubine." ”

Mu Yunqi raised his head and glared at Situ Zhong with a cold look in his eyes, which made Situ Zhong shudder from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the person on the bed woke up and said in a hoarse voice, "Push this slut out and behead me." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, His Majesty the Emperor woke up, and the imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse, and said after a while: "Your Majesty is auspicious, and he is safe and sound." The emperor gave him a blank look.

At this time, a soldier from outside came to report, "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been surrounded by Jincheng garrisons. ”

Everyone, including the emperor, turned their eyes to Situ Zhong, Jincheng is Situ Zhong's fief, there are not many garrisons, but the distance from the imperial city is the closest among the princes' fiefdoms, Situ Zhong laughed and said: "You jumping clowns, it's time for the play to end." Father, as long as you give up the throne, this king will withdraw his army. ”

Situ Jing said angrily: "Situ Zhong, your wolf ambition has finally been revealed. ”

"So what, it's better than passing on the throne to you, a wild prince who has no mother."

"Situ Zhong, you ......" Situ Jing was already so angry that he was stopped by Situ Xi, "If you want the throne, you can convince your father and the emperor with your ability and take the initiative to pass on the throne to you, and if you do it now, you are rebelling." ”

"Hmph", Situ Zhong said with a treacherous smile: "Situ Xi, you are a hypocrite, now that the soldiers are coming to the city, you will soon die without a place to be buried, so delay time with this king here." The Jincheng army has been transferred by this king, and I want to wait for support, haha, I'm afraid the nearest reinforcements won't arrive until five days later. ”

Then he turned to the emperor and walked towards him, Mu Yun rushed over to block the emperor with an arrow step, and was held by Situ Zhong with a sword to his throat, and said fiercely: "You are really annoying, this king will definitely kill you after he ascends the throne." ”

"You're not going to take your mother's life, are you?" Mu Yunqi said lightly.

Situ Zhong looked at his mother, and then ordered: "Save my mother." ”

"Then you withdraw your troops." Mu Yunqi did not relent.

"You are looking for death, save my mother and concubine."

At this time, the emperor spoke: "If you let go of Lord Yun, I will write an edict to inherit the throne." ”

When Situ Zhong heard this, he looked at the emperor in disbelief, and at this time, the emperor shouted outside: "Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

His Majesty the Emperor wrote the edict of succession in front of everyone, and the more Situ Zhong looked at it, the more excited he became.

When he took the edict of succession, he excitedly walked outside and shouted, "I am the emperor." ”

An arrow struck him in the throat, and a large group of men rushed in, led by a woman in military uniform with a bow and arrow in hand, leading thousands of soldiers.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, he immediately knelt down and said, "Gongsun Xuan, the daughter of the general of Chenzhenguo, came to the rescue on the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

His Majesty the Emperor immediately said happily: "Good, good, good! ”

The woman got up and looked at Situ Jing and smiled proudly, and Mu Yunqi also followed her gaze to Situ Jing.

Situ Jing originally smiled approvingly at Gongsun Xuan, but when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Mu Yunqi, he immediately couldn't laugh when he looked at her questioning eyes, and coughed lightly to relieve his nervousness.
