Mao Lingfeng and the three of them were fighting to the death, Yan Rui was waiting for them to come back at home, and she wanted to feel uneasy, so she hurriedly ordered her subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and go straight to the palace. When the palace attendants heard that the prospective crown princess asked to see the emperor, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Zhao Lingyu

After Zhao Lingyu finished dealing with the twists and turns, he was just about to get up and go to bed, when he heard a report from the chamberlain, saying that the princess asked to see him. couldn't help but be stunned, in the middle of the night, Yan Rui came to the palace, could it be that something happened. Hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up." ”

Yan Rui hurriedly came to the imperial study, and when she went in, she didn't see Mao Lingfeng and the three of them, she was shocked, and knelt on the ground, "See the emperor, why isn't the eldest princess here?" ”

Zhao Lingyu was stunned for a moment, "When Feng'er entered the palace, I haven't seen it." ”

Yan Rui's face changed greatly, "The eldest princess just returned to the mansion in the evening, and before she could rest, she was summoned into the palace by the chamberlain, and she has not returned yet. ”

"There are such things, why I don't know, it was the queen who announced her into the palace. Could it be that Zhao Lingyu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he picked up the brush and hurriedly wrote the holy decree and shouted to the personal eunuch: "You send the crown princess out of the palace quickly, and hurry to the Beijing machine guard, General Xuan Li leads the guards into the palace, go quickly." ”

The chief eunuch didn't dare to slack off, and hurried out of the palace gate with Yan Rui, and went straight to Beijing Jiwei on horseback. When Li Chengyong heard the news, he was taken aback, and immediately summoned 5,000 guards and hurried straight to the palace.

Zhao Lingyu took the other eunuch guards and got up and walked towards the queen's inner palace. As soon as he walked halfway, he heard the sound of a fight in front of him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurried over, seeing that the palace door was closed, and Mao Lingfeng's voice was faintly heard inside.

Zhao Lingyu was angry and worried, in case Mao Lingfeng had three longs and two shorts, how could he deal with his dead sister and former prince. I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have dragged her into the water. Zhao Lingyu pointed to the palace gate and shouted, "Knock open the palace gate for me." The guards stepped forward together, and after a few hits, the palace gate collapsed.

Mao Lingfeng and the three of them heard the sound, and turned their heads together, Zhao Lingyu looked at the three people covered in blood, and couldn't help but be furious, "On the contrary, I actually dare to assassinate my niece in the inner court of the palace, and someone will kill me!" ”

Suddenly, the two groups of people were killed together, because Zhao Lingyu brought relatively few guards, all of them were some eunuchs who did not know martial arts, and after a while, there was not much left around Zhao Lingyu. Mao Lingfeng leaned against the wall, panting incessantly, sweat and blood mixed together and soaked the whole dress, her right hand trembled slightly, and the two sisters Zhiqin and Zhiqi were also covered in blood, leaning on the wall to protect Mao Lingfeng.

Zhao Lingyu was furious when he saw this, picked up a waist knife, cut down a guard with a knife, and shouted: "You dare to rebel and punish your nine clans." ”

Li Cheng led a large number of guards under the leadership of the chief eunuch to rush to the inner court of the palace, and when he heard Zhao Lingyu's voice from a distance, he couldn't help but be frightened, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the general is panicking, I'm here." ”

Mao Lingfeng was surprised and delighted when she heard Li Chengyong's voice. Zhiqi was even more so, with tears in his eyes, and shouted tremblingly: "Why don't you die quickly, what are you screaming there?" Are you waiting to collect the body of the old lady? ”

Li Chengyong heard Zhiqi's scolding, a burst of flesh jumping, his body flashed, and he rushed in like a gust of wind, slashing off a person's head with a knife, rushing all the way, directly in front of Mao Lingfeng, waving a long knife, cutting down the guards in front of him, and protecting the three of them behind him. Mao Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body sat on the ground softly.

The chief eunuch rushed to Zhao Lingyu with five thousand guards, Zhao Lingyu took a breath and shouted, "Take down all the rebels for me, quickly help the eldest princess to the palace to rest, and quickly ask the imperial doctor to treat the eldest princess." Don't go yet. ”

The chief eunuch hurriedly called someone to invite the imperial doctor, and the two Zhiqin sisters limped to help Mao Lingfeng follow Zhao Lingyu to the dormitory, and the palace maid who had bright eyes called hot water to wash the three of them.

The imperial doctor and the medical woman cleaned and bandaged the three of them respectively, Mao Lingfeng was injured and injured, and he couldn't hold on anymore, and before he finished taking the medicine, he fell into a coma.

Zhao Lingyu looked at her covered in scars, her face was pale, and she couldn't help but regret it very much, she shouldn't have dragged her into the water, she was seriously injured when she was tired, if something really happened, how should she face her sister and brother-in-law when she arrived on Huangquan Road. Fortunately, after the diagnosis and treatment of the doctor, he said that it was just some skin trauma, but it was just excessive blood loss and he was unconscious, and he would wake up after resting. Zhao Lingyu was relieved at this time. Tell the palace maid to wait strictly and not make any mistakes.

At this time, all the rebellious guards in the palace had been executed, Zhao Lingyu stared at the palace guard commander who was pressed over, and shouted: "Did the queen order the murder of the eldest princess?" The palace guard bowed his head and did not answer. Zhao Lingyu was furious, "If you don't answer, do you think I don't know?" "Someone who comes will bring him down, put him on death row, and torture me, and make sure he speaks."

Zhao Lingyu said to Li Chengyong: "General Lao Fu led people to raid Uncle Guo's Mansion and tied Uncle Guo to me. ”

Li Chengyong ordered a team of guards to guard the palace, and took the rest of the men and horses to raid the uncle's mansion, and imprisoned more than 300 men, women, and children in the uncle's mansion. At that time, the sky was already shining, Zhao Lingyu couldn't take a break, and immediately changed his clothes and went to court, and the ministers of civil and military affairs saw that the guards in the hall were strict. I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Zhao Lingyu's eyes were red, he glanced at it, and shouted: "Last night, the queen, passed on the holy decree, assassinated the eldest princess in the inner court of the palace, intending to rebel and cause chaos, and cut off the queen's position, imprisoned in the cold palace, the uncle conspired, and was sentenced to a thousand cuts, and everyone else was sentenced to beheading. ”

As soon as the holy decree came out, everyone took a breath, and overnight, blood stained the palace, the queen was imprisoned, and the uncle was punished. The Chengwang Party was drenched in cold sweat, everyone was in danger, and after they left the dynasty, they would try their best to dissociate themselves from the party of the national uncle.

When Zhao Sicheng heard the news, he sat on the ground in shock, and after a while, he stumbled to the imperial study, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing.

Zhao Lingyu heard the report of the chamberlain, sighed, and ordered the chamberlain to send him back to the house first, and did not imprison him. As soon as Zhao Sicheng returned to the house, he closed the door.

Zhao Lingyu came to the dormitory, and Mao Lingfeng was still in a coma. couldn't help sighing, and slowly came to Kunning Palace, seeing that Kunning Palace was messy, the queen had been escorted into the cold palace, and Kunning Palace was already silent.

Zhao Lingyu sat on the phoenix couch and watched the solemn scene, and the love of the past appeared in front of him. He slowly walked to the cold palace, and the palace people saw that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly opened the palace door. Empress Li sat on the bed with a calm face, looked at Zhao Lingyu, and did not get up to salute. looked at Zhao Lingyu like this, neither noisy nor noisy. It's unusually quiet, and there is less charm on his face.

Zhao Lingyu stood in front of her and asked in a trembling voice: "Why do you have to do this, isn't it that the Queen's Dignity can't satisfy your desires." ”

Empress Li stared at him, "You didn't sit on this throne in the first place, it was your father who killed my grandfather and picked the peaches they planted." You can ascend to the throne. ”

Zhao Lingyu was taken aback, "You are the granddaughter of the regent. ”

Empress Li sneered, "You are stupid, you still don't know my true identity, and you have been a husband and wife who have shared the bed for many years." ”

"If you want to avenge your grandfather and you, why didn't you do it sooner." Zhao Lingyu asked puzzled.

Queen Li glanced at him resentfully, blaming me for not being greedy for your gentleness, in the years of getting along, I actually had a strong affection for you, so I didn't start for a long time, I just wanted to let Cheng'er ascend the throne, not only grandfather's last wish, but also the friendship of our husband and wife. and can stay together for the rest of their lives. Originally, all this was arranged, but I didn't expect that when Mao Lingfeng appeared, your heart gradually favored Zhao Size, and together with Mao Lingfeng, you supported Zhao Size to take the position. I robbed the Kyoji Guards and the Praetorian Guard, so I had to take a risk and kill her while she was injured. It seems that I still underestimated her, I couldn't imagine that the injured body could last so long, and I was convinced and willing to lose at her hands. ”

After Zhao Lingyu heard what she said, a storm was set off in his heart, he looked at her incredibly, his heart was full of cramps, he covered his chest, his complexion changed greatly, and the sweat on his face dripped down.

When Empress Li saw it, she couldn't help but step forward to help him, sat on the bed, rubbed her chest for him, let out a long sigh, and asked astringently, "What are you going to do with Cheng'er." ”

Zhao Lingyu relieved his breath for a while and said: "He is my biological son, I won't do anything to him, and I believe that Si Ze won't embarrass her." ”

Empress Li sighed, "This is the best, then I can rest assured." ”

Zhao Lingyu was startled and hugged her, "What do you want to do." ”

"What else can I do, the queen plotted rebellion, her crime should be punished, my cousins have already been executed, can I, the mastermind, still live?" Empress Li's face was calm.

Zhao Lingyu looked at her calm face, no longer flattering. It's very different from the old days. He hugged her tightly and said, "I won't blame you, and I demoted you to the cold palace just to give an explanation to the subjects of the world." Although you live in a cold palace, everything else remains the same, and I will still spoil you as always. Don't think about it, or you'll make me alone how to live in the world. ”

Empress Li looked at Zhao Lingyu fixedly, and said astringently after a while: "You are not afraid that I will poison me in secret." ”

Zhao Lingyu hugged her, "Didn't you say that if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago, you didn't do it before, and now you will attack me, a husband who has no power." ”

Empress Li was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"I plan to pass the throne to Zhao Size, and we will live our comfortable life, if you want to go there, I will accompany you, I am not the emperor, you are not the queen, we are just husband and wife. Would you like to live like this? ”

After listening to Zhao Lingyu, Empress Li was pleasantly surprised, and hooked Zhao Lingyu's neck with her backhand, as if she didn't believe it, "Really." ”

"It's true, I'm not in good health, it's time to rest, where you want to go, I'll accompany you."

Empress Li hugged Zhao Lingyu tightly, tears blurred, "The concubine doesn't want to go there, let's go to the suburban palace to recuperate, and live the rest of our lives." ”

"Okay, what's not good, you can do what you say!" Zhao Lingyu hugged her, and the two hugged each other tightly.

On the second day, when Mao Lingfeng woke up, he heard that Zhao Lingyu had passed the throne to Zhao Size, and three days later, he moved to live in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing with the queen. I couldn't help but be surprised. It's a little incredible.
