The firelight stopped outside the palace, and the silent Lishan Palace was already a hustle and bustle at this time, the sleeping people woke up, the palace door was closed, and more than a hundred people in the palace were like trapped beasts, and they could only wait for death in the cage.

Random arrows flying, the fire in the sky, and the poisonous arrows are all aimed at the people in the palace, and before they panic into a messy pot of ants, the flute sounds, and a crimson barrier blocks everything outside the palace.

The sharp arrow bounced back, and the shot was the archer who bent the bow and was facing the palace, and the man on the horse, with a golden crown on his head, was shot down, and immediately became angry and even more raging.

On the palace wall, a figure was condescending, looking down at the thousands of troops and horses outside, someone really wanted her life.

The lieutenant with messy black hair, riding on horseback, naturally saw the figure, and then, a sharp arrow pierced the air and flew suddenly, and after a neigh, it pierced his eyes.

At night, ghosts cry and wolves howl, angry and scolding, festering language, cruel methods, and the innocent people who were escorted up became the souls of the dead under the knife.

A wail resounded in the sky, and the blood splashed on the knife edge pierced people's hearts, she gritted her teeth, and finally opened the palace door.

Another group of soldiers with long swords came from the darkness, or they had been staying here for a long time, and in the darkness of the night, there were swords and swords, dead and wounded, and poisonous arrows were flying indiscriminately, and not many people could tell whether they were friends or foes.

I don't know who shouted: "Stop!"

The chaotic battle suddenly calmed down, looking at the more than ten palace ladies who were held hostage, and the two rows of people who were held by knives around their necks.

The crowd was divided into two parts, some dressed in black, some carrying torches, some holding broadswords, and some holding bows and arrows.

The other part was a cold, ironclad soldier, and there were very few left, less than twenty people.

Seeing the person clearly, the blind one-eyed assassin raised his big knife and sneered: "If you don't hand over Empress Zhao, I will kill everyone here." "

"......"

There was silence, the knife fell, and a woman's arm fell to the ground, and the terrible cry caused everyone to cry in fear, and the woman fainted in pain.

"Still not going to come out?" saw the knife raised again......

"Stop!"

This sound came from Zhao Yi, the surviving Gong'e minions have all been transferred, but now there are still these innocent people being held hostage.

Seeing her appear, some people were happy and some were worried, but the secret guard stopped her and shouted, "Please go back!"

Zhao Yi said goodbye to the man and said to the blind man: "Don't you just want to kill me? "

"If you tie your hands and arrest him, I will release him!"

When Zhao Yi heard this, he really stretched out his hands, "Release people!"

The man didn't believe it, and when he glanced at it, an archer held his bow and pointed it at her.

The secret guard suddenly blocked in front of her, Zhao Yi pulled the man away, looked at the eyes under his mask, and said quietly: "General Gao, return to Chaoge!"

The man was shocked, and now it was too late to go and tell the emperor.

"I will arrest them with my hands, and if they do not believe their words and refuse to let them go, then let them die without a place to be buried!"

Zhao Yi said calmly, and then a poisonous arrow hit her in the heart, General Gao immediately panicked, and said loudly, "Protect the queen!"

The dark guards rushed to the front, Zhao Yi tightened his sleeves, and insisted: "Go back to Chaoge, tell Chen Xu, don't let innocent people die in vain!"

Her heart hurt a little, she took a look, and saw that it was black blood flowing out, and General Gao roared: "The last general is ordered to protect the queen to the death!"

After that, he picked up her crumbling body, rushed back to the house, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find medicine, Zhao Yi looked at the assassin who rushed in, and the only little mana left in his hand sent away General Gao, who was still looking for medicine.

Looking at those fierce and vicious people, she only felt that her limbs were numb, and Zhao Yi couldn't get up, it turned out that there were such vicious drugs in Danzhou, and even she couldn't resist, and the big knife in the blind man's hand was inserted into her abdomen.

A raging fire burned in the palace, and the light of the fire burned her body, but not even the clothes were damaged at all, and after a long time, the person who had been lying down peacefully had long eyelashes trembling slightly.

When Dongfang Chenxi arrived, it was already three days later, and the Li Shan Palace had become a ruin.

Under the ruins, the bodies of countless people were found, complete or mutilated, and the ruined palace was overturned, but he did not see the person he was looking for.

At dusk, someone persuaded the emperor to mourn, and someone came to report that it was the nearby villagers who rescued Zhao Yi.

A month later.

Zhao Yi, whose body has recovered, can already walk freely, these days, the emperor is becoming more and more attentive to her, and everything has to go through his hands before he can rest assured.

The matter of Li Shan Xinggong must also be explained to her.

In the imperial study, several ministers of the court were invited over, but they saw that kneeling in the middle was the important minister of the court, who was also the brother of the concubine, the emperor's brother-in-law Meng Han, and behind him was his cousin Meng Ze, who had lost one eye and could only live with a mask.

The two of them were imprisoned for more than a month because of this incident, and there were many vicissitudes of life.

Standing on the side was General Gao, and the ministers knew that General Gao had not been in Chaoge for a long time, and it turned out that he was guarding the Lishan Palace, and the people behind him were obviously just ordinary civilians.

Seeing that all the important ministers of the court and the central government had arrived, Dongfang Chenxu said slowly, "Zhong Aiqing should know what happened when the emperor saw you coming. "

The crowd was silent and nodded.

Dongfang Chenxu looked at Meng Han who was kneeling, and naturally hated it, "The assassination of the queen, the massacre that occurred in the Lishan Palace, since the emperor's accession to the throne, it is the first time that someone dares to be so bold, treating human life as a mustard, if it is not severely punished, it will be difficult for the emperor to give an explanation to the people of the world." "

The ministers seconded and nodded, regardless of whether he was selfish or not, for Zhao Yi to bring Meng Han to justice, the ministers had no reason to object, the lives of more than 100 Gong'e slaves and the lives of more than 30 innocent people, who would give them an explanation?

Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Dongfang Chenxu looked at General Gao and the two civilians, and said, "General Gao, and you, explain the matter clearly." No one is allowed to intervene without the permission of the Emperor. ”

General Gao nodded, bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, that evening, a group of troops rushed to the palace with torches, and the last general and Lord Long took a closer look, only to know that it was Lord Meng Zemeng......"

Meng Ze suddenly said angrily: "You are untrustworthy, when have I seen you......"

Dongfang Chen frowned, Meng Han held Meng Ze and shook his head.

General Gao said: "Lord Meng obviously did not know that the last general was in Li Mountain, and when he saw the last general, he lied about bringing the emperor's will, but there was no proof, the last general asked Lord Meng to go down the mountain, but he instead had a killing intent on the last general and a group of brothers, and we were outnumbered, so I had to let Lord Long go back to the city to report to the emperor, but I didn't expect that they were chasing after them, and even Lord Long was driven away. "

The ministers listened quietly, and sighed for a while, the ruthless generals, these ministers could only admire.

"The gate of the palace has been closed, even if I die, as long as I wait until the emperor, Niangniang will be fine, but Lord Meng actually sent people to the bottom of the mountain to capture the people alive to threaten the queen, if the queen does not open the palace gate, she will kill the people, the queen will open the palace gate, who knows that Lord Meng rebelled, actually killed people, shot a poisonous arrow of Niangniang, wantonly killed, the palace blood flowed into a river, and the fire was full of smoke.

The last general was not well protected, so that the queen was seriously injured, and the last general was willing to be punished. ”

General Gao knelt down after speaking, Meng Ze exploded again, and scolded angrily: "Gao Chong, you are a witch, she is a witch at all, she has injured countless soldiers, reversed black and white, and the witch on the palace wall is clearly her." ”

General Gao looked at him coldly and said, "Lord Meng, it is you who reverses black and white, and the last general will come back from the ghost gate, is it difficult or can you commit suicide?"

Gao Chong said and lowered his head, why didn't he rush up to stop Meng Ze before the palace gate opened that day, because he also saw the person on the palace wall, that was Zhao Yi That's right!

Meng Ze got up angrily, "You...... You ......"

Seeing the stunned appearance of the ministers, Meng Ze looked at Dongfang Chenxi, and knelt down in fear, "The emperor, all the lords, the queen is a witch, when the Japanese official released the arrows, she was on the palace wall, blew a tune, controlled all the poisonous arrows, and killed countless of our soldiers, the world can be learned!"

The last general's eyes were also injured by her, and what the last general said is the truth, if you lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

Dongfang Chenxi's cold eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of waves, and he immediately smiled: "Lord Meng, are you talking to the emperor?"

Meng Ze simply broke the net, and said: "Emperor, the last general knows that he is dying, and he will never lie, General Gao told a story with a clear conscience, don't you feel ashamed?"

After that, Meng Ze looked at Gao Chong, the two of them were also colleagues, but now for a woman, swords are facing each other, Gao Chong is also honest, and he is not afraid of shadows, but people can't see it really, who is lying.

Dongfang Chenxu said: "You say that General Gao is lying a lot, then, at the foot of Li Mountain, the people of Qiaojia Village, how do you explain it?"

Meng Ze looked at the two civilians, lowered his head in shame, gritted his teeth, and after a while, he kowtowed, and said, "The last general is deeply guilty. "

"Where is the sin?" Dongfang Chenxu asked indifferently.

"The villagers under the mountain must be the trick of the Demon Queen, they are not the people of our Donggao, absolutely not!"

All the ministers were shocked, and they all looked at the two people, and the two knelt down in a panic, "The emperor, the grass people are wronged, and Lord Meng is spewing blood." "

The hearts of the ministers are stable, how can this be someone else, it should be the people of Donggao.

Dongfang Chenxi called the two of them to get up, looked at Meng Ze again, and asked, "Why?"

Meng Ze endured the pain in his heart and said, "Qiaojia Village is so close to the palace, since the lower officials have arrested nearly forty people in Qiaojia Village, how can they stay alive and wait to be exposed today?"

Airplanes......

There was a bang in the imperial study, and the ministers suddenly got up and cursed: "Lord Meng is really ruthless!"

"The Donggao Empire doesn't need such brutal and unkind soldiers!"

"Slaughtering the people and burning down the palace, Lord Meng Ze really deserves to punish the nine clans!"

Meng Han buried his head on the ground, his cousin made this big mistake, he couldn't escape the blame, if he hadn't asked Meng Ze to kill Zhao Yi at any cost in order to consolidate Meng Guifei's position, he wouldn't have done this.

Meng Ze endured the minister's accusation, and then kowtowed again, "Guilty minister, know the guilt!"

Dongfang Chen was extremely angry, and he could vaguely see the green muscles bursting up, and said angrily: "Your sin should be punished!"
