Chapter 420: After the Chaos
After settling the few people in the Chu Palace, Jiang Xiaoyu called Zhao Qu aside and asked him to tell him what had happened. The situation was a bit dangerous in retrospect. Outside is the siege of the city guard, although there are many people, but the Chu Wangfu occupies a favorable location, plus there are preparations, so the other party has not asked for any trouble!
However, later the city guards said that Jiang Xiaoyu and Concubine De colluded to kill the Queen Mother, and they wanted to take the relevant people of the Chu Palace's palace for questioning, and if there was any disobedience, they would be punished with the crime of treason.
The secret guards said that they were loyal to the prince and the princess, and no matter what the other party said, they would protect the safety of the Chu Palace. But when the soldiers heard the shouts of the city guards, the hearts of the people were still a little shaken, and some people wanted to rush out of the palace of the king of Chu and surrender.
Internal and external troubles, the plan that had been set before was disrupted, and the back door was almost broken by the rebels. Zhao Qu killed two people who were shouting to surrender, and asked them if they believed in the people of the king of Chu and the prince, and swore that if the palace of Chu participated in the rebellion, he would be willing to be destroyed. The character of the king of Chu and the prince of Chu is obvious to all, and in the end, it strengthened the hearts of the people and fought the enemy together.
At this time, the Xiaocai battalion suddenly killed, and scattered the rebels' offensive with lightning speed, and the city guards were frightened by the Xiaocai battalion, and they didn't know what was going on, so they fled in all directions, relieving the danger of the Chu Wangfu.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion did not stop, and then went non-stop to rescue the families of the hundred officials.
"The situation in the Jin Palace, the Second Prince's Mansion, how is it now, is there any news again?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.
"Doctor Liu has come to us before, and there is no danger here when he sees us, so he went to the Second Prince's Mansion again, nothing should happen!" Zhao Qu said, "The news should come soon!" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone came with the news of the Second Prince's Mansion, and everything was fine.
Jiang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, Princess Jingyun is really a heroine among women, and the capital is finally in danger tonight. After a little rest, she went out to check on the current situation in the city!
The chaos that happened last night made the people feel frightened, although the sky was already bright, but there were no ordinary people on the street except for the soldiers of the cavalry battalion.
Jiang Xiaoyu walked for a while, saw the trace of Changsun Chi in front, and asked, "Is everything going well?" ”
The eldest grandson dismounted Chi, hugged his fists and said: "It's all going well, the situation of the city guard has been resolved, most of the people are just following fake orders, so they attacked the families of the hundred officials, and now they have calmed down!" I've heard about you in the palace, and you're doing a good job! This time the situation was able to calm down so quickly, and at the cost of the least casualties, you are indispensable! ”
"I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I didn't expect that the city guards would be the first to make a mess, when did the Xiao Cavalry Battalion discover the chaos in the city?" Your response was quick! ”
The eldest grandson Chi did not shy away from Jiang Xiaoyu: "Before this, the eldest grandson kite had sent someone to find me, hoping that I could cooperate with her actions, I pretended to agree at the time, and took the opportunity to make trouble!" ”
"Are the casualties serious?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"Not counting the two thousand people who were captured, the city guards lost nearly seven hundred dead and nearly a thousand wounded!" Changsun Chi said, "There are some casualties among the families of hundreds of officials, but they are all within a controllable range!" ”
"The whereabouts of the eldest grandson kite have not been found yet!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I don't know where she will hide!" If she stays in the capital, she will be a scourge after all! ”
"I understand, I'll try to find out where she is!" The eldest grandson Chi said lightly, "The task given to me by Your Majesty is to eradicate Yan Shuzhai, since the eldest grandson is the leader of Yan Shuzhai, it has caused such a big chaos, and it is difficult to escape death!" ”
"The secret door betrayed the Queen Mother, Murong Yun is now following the eldest grandson Kite, Murong Yun's martial arts are unfathomable, you should be careful!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "This aftermath in Beijing, I'm afraid you still need to work hard, I still have to go to the second princess and say goodbye!" ”
"Farewell!"
After separating from the eldest grandson, Jiang Xiaoyu went to the Second Prince's Mansion, and like the Chu Prince's Mansion, there was a fierce battle, and the corpses outside had been almost moved, leaving only some blood mixed with the blood that had not yet melted.
"Master!"
As soon as Jiang Xiaoyu entered the Second Prince's Mansion, the county lord Qiwen ran directly towards her and asked worriedly, "Master, are you okay?" ”
Since that incident, Qiwen's temperament has become very introverted and calm, and her anxious appearance is the same as before, she smiled slightly: "Am I not standing in front of you in a good manner?" ”
"Last night, those people said that you assassinated the Queen Mother, which made us very worried, knowing that you must have been in danger in the palace, until Xiaodong and Doctor Liu came here before and after, we knew that Master, you were safe and sound, and the palace was peaceful!" The county lord of Qiwen said with some fear, she had never experienced such a killing in her life, so that she knew the cruelty of war, although she knew that what she saw was much smaller than the real battlefield, but so many people died in front of her, her guard's head was shot through by an arrow, * all sprinkled on her body, those who were still alive a few hours ago, died in an instant!
Although it was only a short night, she knew how cruel and meaningless it is to fight and die! It's just that I can't help but think of Changsun Chi in my heart, I can't stand such a scene after a night, he has experienced more than ten years, I don't know how he got used to those bloodshed and death!
She shook off some thoughts, took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said: "Fortunately, you let me and my mother come to the Second Prince's Mansion yesterday, and brought the soldiers of the Jin Palace, and the two were combined into one, which made the rebel party have no chance to take advantage of!" But this time it also made me look at my second sister-in-law with admiration! It stands to reason that she doesn't know martial arts and hasn't experienced war, but she is much calmer than me, calmly commanding the government soldiers, resisting and preventing the rebels from rushing in! Later, when the city guards outside shouted that the second prince was rebelling in Mount Tai, and they wanted to arrest the relevant people in the second prince's mansion, the second sister-in-law's face was still not afraid at all, it was because she was not shocked that she stabilized the hearts of the people, and waited for the Xiaoqi camp to come in time! ”
"You're all amazing!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "We have defended the capital, and the men can let go of their business!" ”
While the two were talking, Princess Jingyun came over, and while telling the housekeeper some things, when she saw Jiang Xiaoyu, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You can be regarded as coming back safely!" ”
The three women entered, each talked about the thrilling last night, and agreed to enter the palace together in the afternoon to greet the Queen Mother.
Since Jiang Xiaoyu understands the general situation in Beijing, she can finally relax completely, although there are still some aftermath things to deal with, but it shouldn't be something she should worry about, as long as she finds the whereabouts of the eldest grandson kite, this chaos in the capital will be over!
After his spirit was completely relaxed, Jiang Xiaoyu felt very tired, and he didn't close his eyes all night, and fell asleep after returning to Tingzhuyuan.
Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.
The Queen Mother simply closed her eyes for a while, but she didn't feel sleepy, and her mind was muddy, which was a feeling she had never had.
Although there was a thrilling time last night, but the eldest grandson kite will really rebel, and Murong Yun will betray her, it still makes her heart suffer a big blow, her maintenance has been very good, but after last night, she has aged a lot, and it is no different from an ordinary, elderly woman.
"Queen Mother, are you looking for your son?" Princess Xiuwen was called by Mama Qu to the Queen Mother's bedroom, she saw that the Queen Mother had a lot of gray hair overnight, and there were a lot of wrinkles on her face, she was a little surprised in her heart, and persuaded, "Since the matter has passed, don't think about it anymore, Your Majesty, they will definitely come back safely!" The eldest grandson's family is to blame, and they don't know that the queen mother is sad for them! ”
"Although I have expected today, but before last night, there are still some hopes left in my heart, I hope that they can get lost and return and live the rest of their lives in peace, this hope is still broken, and the eldest grandson family, who has been prominent for decades, is really over!" The Queen Mother smiled self-deprecatingly, "The eldest grandson's family can get to the point where it is today, and the mourning family can be regarded as pushing it behind!" ”
"Queen Mother, you think too much!" Princess Xiuwen persuaded.
"You already know about your husband?" The Queen Mother asked again.
Princess Xiuwen was silent for a moment and said, "Yes! When I was driven back to the back cover, I saw him, he was still alive, but he was seriously injured, and from his mouth, I knew the truth of the year. When he returned to the capital, he also wanted to get justice for him! ”
"Do you hate the queen mother?" The Queen Mother looked into Xiuwen's eyes and asked.
Princess Xiuwen lowered her eyes and nodded: "I hated, the queen mother must have known the inside story of the year, and knew that my husband died at the hands of the eldest grandson's family, and it had nothing to do with the Bai family, but you didn't tell me anything, making me hate the Bai family for ten years!" However, it was also because of my previous hatred for the Bai family that the eldest grandson kite believed in my determination to deal with Xiaoyu, so I was able to learn about her opportunity this time, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise! ”
She paused and continued: "You are my queen mother, it is impossible for the sons to really hate you, after all, the main messenger of the queen mother this time is the eldest grandson!" Erchen only hopes that he can give justice to the innocent and tragic person who died back then, and give justice to Erchen's husband, so that's enough! I have hated for so many years, I have been resentful for so many years, as long as he is alive and can still be by my side, it is enough! ”
"Let him come back to the capital, and you don't want to be separated again!" The Queen Mother patted Xiuwen's hand and said, "Xiuwen, it's the Queen Mother who is sorry for you!" ”
