Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Blood-Splattered Palace

A trace of guilt flashed in Queen Dou's eyes, but it turned to pride and pride. Li Yuan said coldly: "Zitong, you are the queen honor, but why do you want to do such a thing?" ”

Dou Shi smiled bitterly and said, "The queen is honored? Hmph, the concubine only knows that if my son can't succeed to the throne, then the concubine and him have only a dead end, and now Your Majesty, you intend to depose the crown prince and set up King Yong, and where will the concubine and the prince be placed. Later, Dou gradually became a little hoarse, and his tone became more and more intense.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "When am I going to depose the crown prince, who are you listening to at your instigation." ”

Dou's eyes flashed with shame, avoiding Li Yuan's gaze, but Ji Guifei smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, your mind is shaken, everyone in the court knows it, besides, the prince has done something wrong, and he is worried about your punishment, so he has to persuade the queen to act like this." ”

Li Yuan's eyes were cold, and he looked at Qin Yi, Qin Yi said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the minister also heard the rumor, saying that it was the wife of the prince's subordinate ministers of the East Palace, and he was sincere and benevolent, but it was inconvenient for the minister to mention it, this was originally the authority of the official." ”

Li Yuan said angrily: "What a brute, just let him cultivate his heart and raise his surname, but he did such a shameless thing, since ancient times, the king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, I will definitely ......" Saying this, Li Yuan was silent, and he looked at the queen. Dou said with a pale face: "An'er cried to me, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed, and the concubine only has such a son, no matter what, I can't watch him go to a dead end." ”

Li Yuan smiled miserably and said: "Okay, husband and wife for many years, it turns out that you are just thinking about that rebel, or not." His expression gradually became cold and said: "Ji Xia, Li Hanyou, if I leave the Xiaoshuang Palace, I am afraid that your strategy will not succeed." ”

Concubine Ji Guiran smiled and said, "The concubine knows that the emperor has 100 guards here, but the concubine believes that she will never let anyone get out." ”

Li Yuan smiled coldly and said loudly: "Kill all these rebels for me." With Li Yuan's words, the guards who were invisible in the side hall rushed out, this was originally Li Yuan's sympathy for them, and the guards who were not on duty were resting in the side hall, so although the guards outside had been cleared by Fengyi Gate, there was still a new force.

Li Yuan gave an order, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu both stood in front of King Yong and the eldest grandson Guifei, protecting the two, while Leng Chuan pounced on Ji Guifei, Ji Guifei threw off her palace clothes, revealing a black power suit, the two fought together, and those guards in yellow also fought with those female swordsmen of Fengyimen, and in an instant, the front of Xiaoshuang Hall became a Shura slaughterhouse.

Yan Guifei looked at this scene in horror, and at this time, Qin Zheng had already pounced and said loudly: "Mother, quickly avoid the palace with the queen mother." ”

Although Yan Guifei was usually weak, she hesitated at this moment, but shouted: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know about this matter. After that, he pounced on Li Yuan.

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, he originally stretched out his hand to stop him, but he finally didn't stretch out his hand, Li Yuan frowned, and looked at Yan Guifei who was full of anxiety, he knew that this concubine was the most docile and weak, and it was indeed impossible to participate in the rebellion. sighed, and let Yan Guifei pounce into his arms, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu were already ready to make a move, but Yan Guifei was precious, and neither of them dared to make a move, this hesitation, Yan Guifei had already thrown herself into Li Yuan's arms, Li Yuan handed her over to the eldest grandson Guifei, and the two concubines supported each other, and they all looked at the steps in horror.

Qin Zheng stomped his feet, and had already pounced on and joined forces with Ji Xia to deal with Leng Chuan, Ji Xia has been responsible for protecting Emperor Yong for many years, and he often cooperates with Leng Chuan, so he knows Leng Chuan's martial arts very well, and although Qin Zheng rarely makes a move, she is talented and intelligent, and her swordsmanship is strong, and the two trapped Leng Chuan, although they can't win, but Leng Chuan doesn't want to break through their alliance.

At this time, the situation of those guards below is much more unfavorable. Although they are all strong in martial arts, and most of them are from the military, and they are good at fighting together, but the sword formation of those female disciples of Fengyi Sect is ruthless and vicious, and they cooperate tightly, they support each other, and their swordsmanship is ruthless, separating those guards, and it doesn't take long for the ground to be full of corpses and blood.

Li Yuan was anxious in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Fengyimen's sword formation was so powerful. What can I do?

Li Hanyou commanded Ruoding, and at the same time, he was also shocked by the martial arts of these female swordsmen, but unfortunately he could not control them in the future, in that way, wouldn't he always marry others, she was thinking about how to seize the control of these female swordsmen, while paying attention to the movements of everyone in the field, I saw that although Leng Chuan still had the upper hand, he was no longer able to get out, and the Tiangang Sword Formation composed of the thirty-six female swordsmen he brought was rapidly devouring life, and it seemed that if he wanted to solve it as soon as possible, he had to face the emperor. She took Xie Xiaotong and walked towards Li Yuan, her face was frosty.

Qin Yi and Cheng Shu both had a worried face, if they were fighting on the battlefield, they would have nothing to fear, but with this kind of fighting in the rivers and lakes, they would not be sure to deal with Li Hanyou and that female disciple of Fengyimen. Dayong is different from other countries, most of the martial arts masters serve in the army, but the masters in the palace are inevitably less, and Ping said that he can't see it, because Fengyimen bears a large part of the defense work, so once Fengyimen defects, the defense force around Emperor Yongdi will be greatly weakened immediately. Of course, Fengyimen's swordsmanship is skillful, which is also one of the reasons why Fengyimen has the upper hand today.

At this time, Xie Xiaotong suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said in a low voice: "There is a commotion outside, junior sister, you have to take a look, now you can't let people know that we are forcing the palace." ”

Li Hanyou frowned and said, "You stay here, I'll take a look." ”

Said that he also went out of the palace gate, and outside was the three thousand forbidden troops that they could control, and the Xiaoshuang Hall and the surrounding area were impassable, at this time, I saw the palace gate, a woman in palace clothes said sharply: "This palace is a royal princess, I want to go to my father to ask for peace, who dares to block my way." "But it was Princess Changle, with a few palace maids and a little eunuch.

Li Hanyou's eyes lit up, controlling the princess in her hand, not afraid that Li Yuan would not compromise, she approached Princess Changle and said with a cold smile: "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess get here, is there no one to stop her on the way." ”

Princess Changle looked at her, her eyes were full of inexplicable emotions, and she said coldly, "This palace saw that the palace was shaking, and I was worried about my father and mother, so I came to say hello, although there were people blocking me along the way, but who dared to really embarrass this palace, Li Hanyou, why are you here?" The father and mother are still safe. ”

Li Hanyou looked at Princess Changle, only to see that her usually cold face suddenly added a bit of royal prestige, no wonder no one dared to stop her, after all, the forbidden army outside was just deceived by herself, no wonder she let Princess Changle come to Xiaoshuang Palace, but this is fine, Li Yuan loves Princess Changle, I am afraid that Li Yuan can force Li Yuan to submit, if Li Yuan really wants to fight to the death, I am afraid that it will not end well in the future. So, Li Hanyou said coldly: "King Yong's rebellion, Jingjiang is here to escort him, Her Royal Highness the princess, please." Princess Changle's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said lightly: "Okay, this palace is about to see my father." ”

After saying that, Princess Changle walked inward, and several palace maids around her hurriedly followed, and those forbidden troops were about to stop them, but Li Hanyou waved his hand and said in his heart: "These people came in just right, do you want them to go out and talk nonsense?" ”

Princess Changle walked into the palace gate, and saw the blood everywhere, her delicate body was crumbling, and at this time, the eldest grandson and concubine had already seen her from a high place, and exclaimed: "Zhen'er." He was about to go down, but was stopped by Li Yuan. Li Yuan looked at Li Hanyou, who was standing beside Princess Changle, and said angrily: "Li Hanyou, you are also a clan, and I have given you the title of princess, I can't imagine that you are so ungrateful." When he said this, Qin Yi, Cheng Shu and Princess Changle all changed their faces drastically, but Li Hanyou was embarrassed, he didn't pay attention, and just smiled: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to take a step back, the concubine will not dare to offend, otherwise-" She looked at Princess Changle, at this time Princess Changle had returned to normal, she didn't look at Li Hanyou, and said loudly: "Father, the son has something to play, please ask the father to take a break from the anger of the thunder." ”

Li Yuan's heart moved, and then he saw that the current situation was unfavorable to him, so he sighed: "It's okay, Changle, just listen to what you have to say?" All of them are for me to step down. ”

Li Hanyou was happy in her heart, anyway, she was not afraid that Li Yuan would escape, so she also waved her hand, those female swordsmen quickly retreated behind Li Hanyou, and those surviving guards retreated to the front of the steps, protecting Li Yuan and others, leaving only Queen Dou standing alone.

Princess Changle glanced at Li Hanyou and said coldly: "You can't talk about these things in the court, if Jingjiang has no opinion, we might as well go into the palace to discuss." ”

As long as things are easy to solve, Li Hanyou is happy and generous, and said with a smile: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Li Yuan, Qin Yi and the others were all happy in their hearts, so that they could rely on the house defense, and they couldn't help but look at Princess Changle with admiration. At that moment, the swordsmen of Fengyimen surrounded the Xiaoshuang Palace, Li Yuan and the others carefully entered the Xiaoshuang Palace, those guards controlled the entrances and exits of all parties, Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu stood on the left and right, Ji Guifei and Li Hanyou stood opposite, the two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere was dull, and they didn't know how to speak. At this time, Princess Changle stood up, first saluted Li Yuan, and said: "Princess Jingjiang, no matter how you quibble, now you are always besieging your father, this is a rebellion, whether it is the crown prince or the second emperor's brother, I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be tolerated, and your purpose is only to temporarily let your father rest in the Xiaoshuang Palace, if you use force, force your father to accept it, it will not be good for you, if you are willing to talk to your father calmly and discuss a few conditions, there is no way to fight and kill like now, Besides, the Second Emperor Brother has now broken through, and your priority is not to be entangled here. ”

Li Hanyou's expression changed, she naturally understood what Princess Changle said, but what she asked, Li Yuan was willing to agree, she glanced at Concubine Ji, and her eyes showed a look of inquiry. Ji Guifei said with a smile: "Changle is really a reasonable person, we don't ask for much, please ask the emperor and General Qin to hand over the talisman, so that we can mobilize General Qin's army, after the matter is completed, the prince will naturally come to ask the emperor for guilt." ”

Li Yuan and the others showed anger on their faces, and were about to refuse, but Princess Changle had already said: "This matter is very important, don't make a rash decision, it's better to wait outside first, let us discuss." ”

Li Hanyu thought for a while and said, "Is it enough time to make incense?" ”

Her request was very harsh, but Princess Changle immediately said: "Time is enough, please go outside and wait for a while, and let the palace persuade my father." Yan Guifei, don't you want to ask about the situation of the Sixth Emperor Brother? ”

Yan Guifei was the time when the six gods had no master, and when she heard Princess Changle's words, she said: "Zheng'er, where is Xian'er, this palace doesn't believe that he will do such a thing without a king and a father." ”

Qin Zheng glanced at Li Hanyou in embarrassment, and Li Hanyou said lightly: "You go and explain it to Niangniang." Then he turned and walked out of the temple gate. Concubine Ji also smiled and beckoned Queen Dou and Concubine Yan to the side hall to talk, and only Princess Changle and Li Yuan and others were left in the hall at the moment.

When Li Yuan saw that the people were gone, he asked suspiciously, "Changle, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Princess Changle smiled slightly: "Father, the situation is sinister now, but the second emperor brother has escaped, and King Qin's rescue also refers to Kecheng, if the father has an accident, but how to set things right, so the father might as well bear it for the time being, presumably before they catch the second emperor brother, they will not dare to do anything to the father, and the father can also temporarily preserve part of his strength, lest they jump off the wall in a hurry and hurt the father and the mother and concubine." ”

Li Yuan sighed and said: "I don't know this truth, but their requirements are too harsh, if you give them the talisman, don't say that your second emperor brother has no life, even I have become someone else's bag." ”

Princess Changle said: "Father, don't worry about this, if they want to send a holy decree, they will give it to them, but the one who commands General Qin's army is the general's henchman, isn't there a private token, and when the time comes, add a secret decree from the father, and it will be done." ”

Qin Yi's expression moved, and said: "Your Majesty, this is feasible, Qin Yong is my nephew, loyal to the royal family, please ask the emperor to write a secret decree and stamp a private seal, he knows him, plus my token, he can definitely be transferred to King Qin." ”

Li Yuan looked overjoyed and said, "Okay, Changle is really thoughtful. But when I looked at it, there was no pen or paper around me. Changle took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and said, "Father, as long as you stamp your private seal, someone will naturally write your will later." ”

Li Yuan looked hesitant, he really couldn't believe anyone in his heart at the moment, Princess Changle saw this and hurriedly said: "Father, there is no way for the sons, if the father and the emperor write a will, this secret decree will never be sent, father, you also know that the sons and princes have always had some disagreements, will they still help them?" ”

Li Yuan glanced at Changle again, and finally took off the wrench in his hand and stamped a private seal on the silk pa. Princess Changle hurriedly took the silk pa, and looked at Qin Yi again, but Qin Yi did not hesitate, handed a piece of jade pendant to Princess Changle, this jade pendant is very ordinary, Princess Changle couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Qin Yi said: "This is a birthday gift given to me by Yong'er, he must recognize it." Only then did Princess Changle put her mind at ease and said, "General, I'm afraid that General Qin Qing has been detained by Fengyimen, so I might as well ask them to send General Qin later." Qin Yi's expression darkened and he didn't speak.

At this time, Li Hanyou said in a loud voice: "It's time, the palace has come in." "When I came in this time, Li Hanyou's face was full of frost, and it seemed that there must be a result. Princess Changle said without humility or arrogance: "Jingjiang, my father has agreed to your request, but we also have conditions. ”

Li Hanyou's expression moved, and he said, "As long as it is reasonable, we can discuss." ”

Princess Changle said with a smile: "These conditions are not harsh, first, if there is no second emperor brother to come, or if you see the head of the second emperor brother, you are not allowed to disturb your father again." ”

Li Hanyou said simply: "There is no problem with this, if we don't get rid of rebellion, we will naturally not come to disturb Your Majesty." ”

Princess Changle said lightly: "The second condition, I'm afraid that General Qin Qing has already been controlled by you, there should be no problem in sending him here, right?" ”

Li Hanyou smiled coldly, and said in his heart, Qin Qing was no longer useful, so he said: "There is no problem at all, the palace will send people later." Although she didn't show any expression, who in this hall was not a master of observing words and feelings, and immediately saw through her thoughts, and she was even more disgusted.

Princess Changle smiled slightly, and said: "This third condition is for the palace, the maids of the palace and the mother concubine are all in Hanxiang Garden, and now there is chaos in the hunting palace, and the palace wants those maids to come to the Xiaoshuang Palace, I don't know if it can be allowed?" ”

Li Hanyou thought to himself, even if you don't mention it, I can't let you go back to Hanxiangyuan, nodded and said, "Of course, this palace will send someone to pick them up." ”

Princess Changle said: "Wait, please take him with you, when the palace left Hanxiangyuan, there was a word, unless the palace ordered, they were not allowed to leave Hanxiangyuan half a step, let this slave go back to pass my order, and avoid more life and wrong." ”

Li Hanyou originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the last sentence, he also felt reasonable, some things would rather be known to others than to be seen, if everyone knows about it, it will be troublesome to kill it in the future. She glanced at Concubine Ji and saw her nodding slightly, so she said, "It's okay, that's it." ”

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Then please Jingjiang you do it, if there is no problem, when General Qin Qing and the maids of the palace come, my father will give you the talisman." ”

Li Han's eyes flashed, and he said: "If this palace fulfills its promise, but the emperor repents, then what, this palace doesn't have so much time to entangle with you." ”

Li Yuan snorted coldly, but Princess Changle said coldly: "If this is the case, this palace will give you the surname." ”

Li Hanyu smiled proudly and said, "Okay, gentleman's words, hurry up." After that, she raised her right hand, Princess Changle smiled faintly, stepped forward, raised her slender hand, and the two of them high-fived each other, and their eyes were facing each other, and a trace of coldness flashed in their eyes.

Princess Changle smiled faintly again, took out a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant was wrapped in a snow-white silk cloth, Princess Changle handed the jade pendant to Xiao Liuzi, and said, "You go and tell Zhou Shangyi and let her bring all of us here." ”

Li Hanyou looked at it, this silk pa was mostly exposed, and there was no text and ink, so she didn't come forward to check, after all, she didn't want to offend the royal family too much, no matter what, in the future, Fengyimen will control the political situation through the Dayong royal family.

Xiao Liuzi took the jade pendant and the ayapa, and respectfully retired, Li Hanyou made a gesture, and Xie Xiaotong brought two female swordsmen of Fengyi Sect to follow.

Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the things entrusted by the man, she looked at Li Hanyou with a smile, and said, "I probably have to wait for a while, does Jingjiang want a cup of tea?" ”
