Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 25 Forcing the Palace
、、、、、、、
When Feng Wuxian woke up, he only felt a splitting headache, and only after thinking about it carefully, he remembered the danger in front of the Imperial Garden that day. However, he suddenly felt that there was no sound around him, and his heart suddenly became suspicious, and he immediately shouted: "Someone, someone!" Xiao Fangzi, who was supposed to come in response, disappeared, and not only that, but even the other palace maids and eunuchs who were supposed to serve here did not respond. Instinctively, he sensed a hint of danger, and was about to summon the two shadow guards, when he heard footsteps outside the hall.
Feng Wuxian turned his head to look hard, and saw that it was Chen Lingcheng who walked in with a bowl of medicine, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Chen Lingcheng over there still lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and his face was full of melancholy, so he didn't notice the movement here. Feng Wuxian was helpless, so he had to call in a low voice again, Chen Lingcheng raised his head, and when he saw the situation here, he immediately ran over with great joy.
"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up." Chen Lingcheng let out a long breath with a relieved expression, "Fortunately, it's still too late, if you wake up later, something big will happen outside." ”
The doubts in Feng Wuji's heart couldn't help but get stronger, but Chen Lingcheng refused to say any more, just forced him to drink the medicine first. After Feng Wuxian drank it all in one go, he said with a solemn face, "The Qinzheng Palace has been surrounded by a group of guards, and the people who came said that it was on the orders of the Queen Mother. ”
The words immediately stunned Feng Wuxi, but Chen Lingcheng didn't seem to see the other party's expression, and continued to add: "Wei Chen felt that something was wrong, so he sneaked out to investigate, and found Xiao Yunchao. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with him, maybe even the Queen Mother was coerced by him. ”
Wind Traceless clenched his fists tightly. I only felt a chill behind me. "Well, I thought about how I could have met a wild bee so coincidentally, it turned out that someone was secretly doing it. Trying to murder me. He laughed angrily, "I have a good uncle. I don't have any other skills, but my ability to force the palace is very great! The guards didn't have the slightest suspicion of his commands, could it be that all their loyalty was eaten by the dogs? ”
Chen Lingcheng saw that the emperor was angry, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, and only replied after a while: "If you were not mistaken. I'm afraid that the people surrounding the Qinzheng Hall are Xiao Yunchao's henchmen and guards, besides, they are acting in the name of protecting the place, and they are all real internal guards, so others will naturally not have any doubts. Now that this imperial city is already controlled by Xiao Yunchao, the queen mother and the emperor are sick at the same time, which just gives outsiders a chance. Alas! ”
Feng Wuxian snorted coldly, looking disapproving. "I'm afraid that my uncle is not so capable, if it weren't for the support of the so-called Queen Mother's decree, he would not be in charge of the palace. The guards in the Hall of Diligence are all reliable people that I have carefully selected. I'm afraid that they only dare to surround the palace, and they don't dare to rush in easily. Except for those of his henchmen, the other guards were just intimidated by the so-called Empress Dowager's decree. Don't dare to act recklessly. As long as I can show up, does he want to continue to do whatever he wants? After that, he wanted to get up by the edge of the bed, but was supported by Chen Lingcheng. He forced him to press him on the bed again.
"The emperor is in slow motion, and now, prudence is the best way." Chen Lingcheng's eyes were shining, and he solemnly persuaded him, "Xiao Yunchao is afraid that he is going to see the Queen Mother at this moment, and I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the pass of Cining Palace easily." In addition, this matter came suddenly, and the epidemic suddenly appeared in the prefectures and counties near the capital, and it was obvious that someone had been secretly plotting for a long time, and these were not something that Xiao Yunchao could accomplish alone. He stopped at this point, just staring into the windless eyes. Chen Lao said, either Xiao Yunchao has another plan, or someone is waiting for him to attack this time, and then a praying mantis will catch cicadas, and the yellow finch will follow? "Feng Wuxian is not a person of Mu Ne, so he immediately saved the point, "I know, the nine gates of the inner city are supported by Xu Chun, and they can be safe; There is still a Fengtai camp outside the capital, and Guan Ruban should also be clearly distinguished. Using me as bait, as long as the inner palace can distinguish the winner and loser, is that what you mean? He looked directly at Chen Lingcheng without flinching, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
"Weichen is bold, please ask the emperor to take a risk." Chen Lingcheng took two steps back, suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The queen mother is also in the Qinzheng Palace at this time, so the safety of the emperor and the queen can be preserved for the time being." Xiao Yunchao wants to toss these jumping clowns in the palace, so let them for the time being, and when he gets carried away, I am afraid that others will also jump out, and it is not too late to clean up at this time. ”
Feng Wuxian smiled slightly, "Old Chen, you are the only official in the Manchu Dynasty who dares to be so bold, and only you dare to say this kind of thing with me and the queen here." He looked up conceitedly, his face full of calm and composure, "I am up to you, but this situation is still too risky, you manage to mobilize all the guards loyal to me, and when the time comes, I don't want to leave room for rebellion like the first emperor!" He obviously thought of that Feng Huanyu, and suddenly felt like a thorn in his back, his face sank suddenly, and he reached out and handed over the jade pendant in his waist.
After Chen Lingcheng kowtowed, he retreated alone, knowing that the emperor had someone around him to support him, so he was relieved to receive the order. He has been in the palace for a long time, and everyone knows that he is the henchman of the new monarch, so there is no doubt about it.
In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiao also looked at her brother with a shocked face, and the eunuchs and palace maids also shrank uneasily. Obviously, Xiao Yunchao openly led people to rush into Cining Palace, which surprised everyone. Xiao Shi immediately reprimanded: "Brother, what do you mean? openly led people to break into the mourning family's dormitory, do you want to rebel? ”
Xiao Yunchao showed a somewhat hideous smile, and ordered his guards to drive those eunuchs and palace maids out, even Rouping was no exception. "Ripples, I can't do it, I'm just trying to protect myself. If the emperor hadn't pressed as hard as he is now, would I have to take such painstaking pains? He forced a few steps forward and said word by word, "I have borrowed your edict to seal the gate of the imperial city, and ordered people to surround the Qinzheng Palace." Any guards or forbidden soldiers who dare to disobey Yi's orders, I have disarmed them and put them in custody. Now, there is no second voice in this palace! ”
Xiao Shi was cold when she heard this, she never dreamed that her brother, who had always been mediocre, would be so bold. Listening to those rebellious words, she deeply hated that she had not made a decision earlier, but tried again and again, which dragged on to today's result. "Aren't you afraid that the law of the land is ruthless?"
Xiao Shi said a little weakly, "The emperor is just a wild bee sting, although he will fall ill in bed for a while, but once he wakes up, your actions will be a great sin of the Zhulian Nine Clans, do you really want to destroy the Xiao family?" ”
"Wild bees? Those imperial doctors are really good at breaking around, and they are obviously poisonous bees! You are wrong, I'm not ruining the Xiao family, I'm saving the Xiao family! Xiao Yunchao said viciously, not caring at all about what kind of shock that sentence would bring, "The emperor is pressing step by step, isn't he afraid that the increasing power of the Xiao family will endanger his imperial power?" If you continue to indulge like this, sooner or later the Xiao family will gradually decline, is this the ending you are looking forward to? Ripples, wake up, don't forget, you are also a member of the Xiao family, what good will it do you if the Xiao family falls? Let go, only by deposing Feng Wuxian and then setting up a new monarch, will the Xiao family have a foothold. Lingyun's Queen Mother already has the right to abolish the establishment, you will not be the first, nor will you be the last! ”
As soon as Xiao Shi heard that his brother directly accepted the poisonous bee and bluntly said the name of the emperor, he knew that there was no room for things to turn around, and he couldn't help but feel paralyzed. After years of hard work, he wanted the Xiao family to borrow his son to go further and keep it forever, and now they have become shadows. She never believed that the situation could be completely controlled by Xiao Yunchao so quickly, as long as those guards turned against each other, I was afraid that the situation would have to be completely reversed. Not only that, judging from the external situation of Rouping's report, she has vaguely noticed the black hand behind the scenes who is pushing everything, and these are all things that the stubborn brother can't count.
Now, Xiao understands that her brother Xiao Yunchao's rebellion is already a fait accompli, not to mention that the guards in the palace all thought that they were acting on Yi's orders, so she could only perfunctory first and take one step at a time. Therefore, after a variety of complicated expressions on his face, Xiao Shi finally spoke with difficulty: "Brother, don't force me, let me think again, you go out first and call Rouping in, you can't even trust her?" (Wen 'Xin' Hand ' Hit 'Group' Hand 'Hit 'Whole' Li)
Xiao Yunchao snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his sister's hesitation, but he thought that he had already grasped the overall situation, so he was not afraid of mistakes, so he walked straight out. "Rouping, you should know what to say and what not to say in front of your master." He nakedly threatened, "You are a slave of the Xiao family, you grew up drinking the water of the Xiao family since you were a child, don't tilt your elbows outward, otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be." ”
He saw Rouping cowering, as if she had been shocked, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, so he let her in. As soon as she entered the Xiao family's bedroom, Rouping gently closed the door and glanced at Xiao Yunchao, as if she really wanted to persuade her master. As soon as she turned her head, her expression became extremely calm, and even her steps became brisk.
"Queen Mother, are you really going to promise Lord Xiao?" Rou Ping saw that her master's face was stunned, so she asked tentatively.
Xiao Shi didn't look at the other party, and then replied in frustration: "What if you don't agree now, the mourning family has to stabilize him first, otherwise what else?" He called Yi Zhi so loud that even if it was the emperor, I am afraid that he would not be able to tell in the future. She remembered the "poisonous bee" that her brother said, and her face suddenly became gloomy again, "Although the Xiao family has always had the wish of powerful ministers, there has never been such a rebellious courtier, which is really the sorrow of the ancestors." Rouping, you will go out to answer him on behalf of the mourning family later. However, you have to declare to him that the Queen Mother's seal is on the hands of the mourning family, if he dares to act pretentiously again, don't blame the mourning family for being unkind to him in the future! ”
Rouping nodded in understanding, of course she knew what her master meant. As long as Xiao Yunchao can't be overbearing, then his orders in the palace can't be too presumptuous. It must be known that there are people inside and outside the imperial city who are emperors, although the Admiral of the Nine Gates does not dare to rashly break into the palace, but as long as they have their deterrent power, Xiao Yunchao cannot be too reckless. However, for the Xiao family, who has already broken through the catastrophe, is everything that the Xiao family has done still useful? At this moment, the conceited and scheming Xiao Shi has no idea, and maybe, all she can do is save one or two people. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 25 Forcing the Palace
