Because he didn't dare to reveal his identity, Qiu Xun could only secretly order the people sent by Nie Tiancheng to protect him and speed up his return to the capital.

As soon as it was dark, Mei'er ordered to find an inn nearby, and the emperor needed to rest.

Qiu Xun knew in her heart that Mei'er was very scheming, and if she was not sure whether Shao Hao would ascend the throne, she would not easily attack the emperor. What's more, there are many soldiers left by Shao Hao behind the emperor, and she doesn't dare to act rashly.

Qiu Xun also instructed his people to protect the emperor, not to be publicistic all the way, and to be careful of assassins. Then he secretly got on his horse and rushed to the capital overnight.

Qiu Xun worked hard all the way and didn't dare to slack off.

As soon as the sky was bright, Qiu Xun returned to King Qiong's mansion. Chun Nuan was happy and sad to see the princess come back. told Qiu Xun that Shao Hao put King Qiong in prison on charges of disobeying the holy decree, General Nie was sent by Shao Hao to rescue the driver, and Shu'er also went to quell the civil strife and did not return, he was anxious and didn't know what to do.

Qiu Xun meditated in his heart that Shao Hao could only dare to attack King Qiong after he ascended the throne, as long as he delayed his accession to the throne and waited until the emperor returned to Beijing, he could save King Qiong.

Qiu Xun changed his clothes and rushed to King He's mansion as soon as it was dawn.

He Wangfu He Wang and Shao Hao conspired all night to ascend the throne the next day, and they heard that the gatekeeper reported, "The second princess is coming to He Wangfu." ”

"What is she going to do?" He Wang was suspicious.

"It must be that I won King Qiong yesterday, and the second princess didn't sleep all night, and came early in the morning to beg me to let King Qiong go." Shao Hao guessed.

"Don't be too arrogant." King He said to Shao Hao, "Have you ever seen the second princess begging for help?" ”

Qiu Xun was brought into King He's mansion and asked, "Little Prince, you took down King Qiong yesterday, do you have evidence of guilt?" ”

"Second princess, King Qiong's disobedience to the holy decree is a capital crime." Shao Hao replied.

"Little prince, the emperor is not in the capital, is it not disobeying the holy decree if he doesn't listen to you?" Qiu Xun said without showing weakness.

"The queen ordered General Nie to save the car, and King Qiong dared to stop it, didn't he disobey the queen's decree?" Shao Hao was even more arrogant.

"Little prince, you really take it as a matter of course." Qiu Xun sneered, "You led heavy troops to attack Dali Kingdom, didn't go to the desperate escort, fled back to the capital by yourself, let the emperor be captured, but framed King Qiong for not saving the driver, you are too smart." ”

Shao Hao just wanted to send Qiu Xun away as soon as possible, and was ready to rush to the palace to ascend the throne immediately.

Qiu Xun is bent on delaying the time, and if he survives today, the emperor will be able to rush back, and King Qiong will be able to save his life.

"Second princess, I'm going to go to the palace to discuss with the queen about saving the driver, if you are blocking me and delaying the rescue, you are a capital crime." Shao Hao said viciously.

Qiu Xun thought to himself, I have already saved the emperor, you don't have to scare the princess, in order to save King Qiong, I will fight you to the death.

"Okay, anyway, the emperor is almost in the palace, I will go with you to meet the emperor now, and the emperor will judge the merits and crimes." Qiu Xun instructed the courtyard beside him and said, "Prepare a carriage for me, and I will enter the palace with the little prince to see the driver." ”

Qiu Xun's words made Shao Hao break out in a cold sweat, he knew that Qiu Xun could see unknown things that others couldn't see, could it be that the emperor was really coming back?

"Second princess, don't talk nonsense here." Shao Hao pretended to be calm and said, "The emperor is still in the hands of the emperor of Dali now, thousands of miles away, can he fly back?" ”

The second princess didn't sleep all night, and suddenly her brain was drowsy, and she saw a vague figure, wearing armor, and looked carefully at the tree-like look, only to see him holding the emperor's token in his hand, galloping on horseback.

"It's the tree that's back." Qiu Xun was overjoyed, his heart was low, he got into the carriage and came to the palace with Shao Hao.

The ministers all came to the court early.

"Listed as a minister, the emperor is now detained in Dali, and I have ordered General Nie to go to the rescue." Shao Hao said, "King Qiong tried his best to stop the rescue, delay the time, and disobey the queen's will. ”

The ministers were shocked.

King Joan had already withdrawn from the noon gate. Wait for three o'clock in the afternoon to ask for a cut.

Shao Hao gave a look to King He, King He understood, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, King Qiong's head fell to the ground, and King He ordered Shao Hao's personal guards to immediately add Shao Hao's yellow robe and ascend the throne immediately.

Qiu Xun sat firmly in the hall and did not show his face.

Fifty-three quarters had come, and the executioner was waiting to raise his sword. I heard someone shouting outside the noon gate, "Keep people under the knife." Then a war horse galloped over, and it was General Shu'er at once.

Shu'er dismounted and came to the palace, holding the emperor's token, "Report to the little prince, the emperor has been rescued by General Nie, and is on the way to the capital, and I met on the way, the emperor ordered to release King Qiong, and wait for the emperor to return to the palace to make a decision." ”

"General Nie only went to the rescue yesterday, did he come back today?" Shao Hao asked.

"Go back to the little prince." Shu'er said, "Dali didn't dare to detain the emperor, he had already returned to the emperor, and he happened to meet General Nie on the way and return to Beijing immediately." ”

Shao Hao was suddenly paralyzed after hearing this, and his face was as pale as earth. He didn't know why the emperor of Dali didn't eat the meat he had, unless Qiu Xun begged them to let the emperor go in Dali, but Qiu Xun was obviously in King Qiong's mansion.

Shao Hao was muttering in his heart, not knowing what to do. Just listen to the palace communiqué, "The emperor returns to the palace." ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs hurriedly went out of the palace gate to greet the emperor, and Shao Hao also crawled outside the palace gate.

The emperor got off the carriage and "greeted the emperor back to the palace." "The ministers greeted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, I sent General Nie to rescue me in time." Shao Hao hurriedly walked up to the emperor and said.

"Hmph." The emperor glared at Shao Hao fiercely, entered the palace, and sat on the dragon chair.

"Thank the emperor for not killing him." King Qiong was also put back in the palace and thanked the emperor.

"King Qiong, I have heard from General Nie that you are not guilty, and I have wronged you." The emperor glanced at Shao Hao and said.

"Shao Hao, are you guilty?"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang should die, he shouldn't run away." Shao Hao hurriedly knelt down and said, "The little prince is afraid of being outnumbered, and he wants to go back to the capital as soon as possible to move the rescue soldiers and save the driver." ”

"Hmph, as a general, you actually escaped from the battle, and it was thanks to the presence of this king that you led the soldiers to fight the Dali Kingdom and return to the dynasty in triumph." The emperor said majestically.

Qiu Xun scolded in his heart. "Are you royals so shameless? Obviously, I begged the emperor of Dali to let you come back, and said that I defeated and returned. Okay, as long as this princess saves my King Qiong, she won't bother to reward you for her merits. ”

The emperor decreed, "Mei'er, fight to the death, escort meritorious, and manage the harem with the queen in the palace in the future, there is no distinction between high and low." ”

The queen scolded angrily in her heart, "You are a fox, why don't you die in Dali." ”

"Shao Hao, escaped from the battle and was put in prison."

The emperor's voice just fell. King He knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, they are all Hao'er's enemies, young and arrogant, for the sake of the county lord in order to marry his relatives far away, there is still a single seedling left in King He's mansion, spare Shao Hao." ”

"Your Majesty." Mei'er said. "The little prince deserves it, but He Wangfu has the grace to take me in, if I don't intercede for the little prince, won't I be scolded by others as an ungrateful villain."

The emperor looked at Mei'er, her eyes were full of love, as long as she opened her mouth, the emperor did not disagree.

"Okay, for Mei'er's sake, I'll spare you. But in the future, you hand over your military power, and General Shu'er will take over your military power. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Shao Hao's face was frustrated, how to turn over without military power.

Mei'er returned to the palace and begged the emperor for permission to go to King He's mansion to visit the princess.

"Your Majesty, I am thinking of the eldest princess's kindness to me, the little princess is the little prince's fault, but I can't forget the eldest princess's kindness to me."

"It's rare that Mei'er is a person who knows how to repay her kindness." Although the emperor was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't say that he would not let Mei'er go to He Wangfu.

Mei'er came to King He's mansion, saw the eldest princess, and ordered the palace maids around her to retreat.

"Why did Dali let the emperor go?" Shao Hao couldn't wait to ask as soon as he saw Mei'er.

"I was locked up, but I don't know why we were released overnight." Mei'er said.

"Could it be a letter sent by the second princess?" Shao Hao said suspiciously, "No, even the fastest envoy will take a few days, and even a bird can't fly at night." ”

"yes, I'm weird too. We are all in the city, and Dali does not move a single soldier, as if it knows our true intentions. Mei'er said strangely, "We have all invaded the city, and they still do not fight back, and they spit out the meat we sent to their mouths again." ”

"Then why don't you kill the emperor on the way." Shao Hao said fiercely, "Now you have a meritorious escort." ”

"Little prince, we are followed by thousands of troops and horses of the imperial court, I killed the emperor, do you think I ran away?" Mei'er said. "Even if I run away, I am also a member of your He Wangfu, I killed the emperor, do you think your He Wangfu can get rid of it?"

Shao Hao was speechless.

"Little prince, the matter has come to this, don't complain, you stop for a few days, and I will ask the emperor to return the military power to you in the future, and we will discuss it in the long run."

Mei'er stabilized Shao Hao and left King He's mansion.

King Qiong returned to King Qiong's mansion.

The family was naturally happy around King Qiong.

"It's cheap, Shao Hao." Shu'er said unwillingly, "Originally, the princess had a meritorious escort, but she was robbed by that Mei'er." ”

"As long as King Qiong is okay, I don't think they have any credit." The princess said, "To say credit." It is still the old emperor of Dali who has the greatest credit, he is really obedient, seeing us attack the city of Dali, he is really motionless, so that Shao Hao's plan will fail, he really dares to believe me, he is not afraid that I will deceive him, and he will really let Dali Guo fail. ”

"Mother, you are really confident, where do people trust you." The county lord said seriously, "People trust your grandmother, you should thank your grandmother." ”

The county lord's words really reminded Qiu Xun of her cheap mother, every time she was in trouble, she helped, and every time she met her, she came and went in a hurry.
