Chapter 4: Palace changes on the day of great joy

The next morning is the worship ceremony of the relatives, An Le in the palace waiting for a call from outside, her palms are sweaty, I don't know if my father will appear today, send her the last journey, she went to her father's palace last night to say goodbye to him, but her father sent someone to call her back, I don't see her.

When all the ceremonies were completed, the second prince came to the gate of the princess's palace with the envoys in a red suit: "Please leave the palace." ”

An Le, who was wearing a hippa to cover her eyes, couldn't see anything, and was about to fall down and grabbed her with both hands, she looked at the corner of the other party's clothes, the color of red, it was the second prince.

Until she got into the carriage and left the palace gate, she didn't see her father, and her brother, as a close relative, naturally wanted to give her a ride.

Halfway through, An Ping and Yang Qi slowed down the pace of the horses and came to her sedan chair, "Le'er, don't be afraid, my brother is here." ”

An Le's heart dropped when he heard An Ping's voice, with his brother here, An Le was naturally not afraid of anything.

Yang Qi hurriedly spoke: "Princess, princess, and I'm also here." ”

An Le couldn't help laughing, the stupid son of the prime minister's family also came, "Brother Qi is also here, it's so good." ”

Yang Qi's face turned red, and the whole person was in a dizzy state, and he almost didn't fall off the horse.

was about to arrive at the place planned by Anping, and before the group could arrive first, someone from behind hurried over on a horse and shouted loudly to Anping: "His Royal Highness the Prince, something has happened, Your Highness, stop, stop, something has happened in the palace." ”

Anping stopped the carriage and waited for the man to come to him.

It was a soldier in armor, his face was covered in blood, and he was still holding a box in his hand, and the horse had collapsed from exhaustion and fell to the ground, and Anping caught him.

"Too, His Royal Highness the Prince, something happened, hurry back to the palace, there is a mutiny in the palace, the eldest prince is back, he wants to seek power and usurp the throne. This is, this is the jade seal, Your Highness wants to protect it..."

Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't breathe down and died on the spot.

After listening to his words, An Ping's face turned pale, he picked up the jade seal and put it on his chest, and was about to return immediately, he looked at the sedan chair with the veil unveiled and looking at his beautiful sister An Le with tears on his face, and the second prince next to him who was about to call everyone back.

"Le'er..."

Before An Ping could finish speaking, An Le hurriedly opened the sedan curtain and walked down to him: "Brother, no matter what happens in the palace, Le'er will always spend it with his brother, and his father is still in the palace." ”

An Ping was hesitating whether to take her back, An Le had already come to the second prince, "Second prince, I'm sorry, in the face of national disasters, and in person is a trivial matter, An Le wants to have a home first, and then a husband, I hope the second prince can tell the prince and the monarch of your country on his behalf." ”

Without waiting for them to say anything, An Le jumped and came to Anping's horse, she tore off her inconvenient long sleeves and hugged Anping tightly, "Brother, let's go quickly." ”

Feeling the strength needed in his waist, An Ping nodded, he was willing to be with his sister for anything.

So Anping said respectfully to the second prince: "When the things in the palace have calmed down, I will bring my sister to your country to apologize in person, at present, there has been a palace change in Anping, and it is not very safe to come, and I hope that the second prince will go back with the envoys first, your safety is the most important." ”

Without waiting for the second prince to say anything, Anping rode his horse and left, and Yang Qihe and the attendants who followed also turned around and galloped away.

The envoy came to the second prince: "This, this, the second prince?" ”

The second prince looked at their departing backs, "You go back to China, ask my father to send troops to aid Anpingguo, I will go to help first and protect the princess, she is my sister-in-law." ”

Ignoring the obstruction and opposition of the minister behind him, the second prince tore off the big red flower on his waist and drove the horse to catch up.

When Anping arrived at the palace, there were no guards at the palace gate, "Le'er, if we enter through the front door, we will inevitably meet them, so we will go through the secret passage that we used to sneak out of the palace when we were children." ”

The secret passage leading to Anle's dormitory was dug up by them when they were greedy and Anping secretly sent someone to dig it, and they didn't expect it to come in handy a few years later.

Yang Qi turned around and went back to the house to find a way to transfer troops, and An Ping dismissed the guards who followed him and left, only returning to the dormitory with An Le.

The dormitory is in shambles, and many palace maids have died.

"It seems that they have been here before, and it is safe at present, can you hide in the secret passage, brother to find out the situation?"

Anping wanted to try his best to soothe An Le, who was full of tears but cried silently.

An Le tugged at his sleeve, "No, Le'er wants to be with my brother." ”

Anping had no choice but to wipe away her tears, "Then let's sneak out quietly and go to my father first." ”

An Ping pulled An Le out quietly, and a few guards died at the door, so he picked up two swords and handed them to An Le to defend himself and hold them.

Walking towards the emperor's dormitory, there are many people guarding outside, thinking that the army is inside, and the emperor should be asked to write an edict to pass on the throne, otherwise Anfu will not be on the throne in vain, and the people of the world may take the opportunity to raise troops to fight in addition to criticism.

"Le'er, my father's secret passage leads to my dormitory, let's go to the dormitory first."

On the way back to the dormitory, he encountered two patrolling enemy soldiers, and An Ping stabbed them to death with a sword.

Anping's palace was indeed looted, they stepped over the corpses on a ground and opened the secret passage and walked in, the secret passage was a little dark, Anping wanted to see the front clearly, his hand held An Le tightly, An Le stretched out her hand, and her jade bracelet emitted some faint light.

Until he came to the bright place, Anping saw his father still kneeling there and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Father."

The emperor looked back and saw that it was peace and peace.

"Silly boy, why are you here, don't run away."

"Father, hurry up and leave with us." Anping took his hand and was about to leave.

The emperor pushed him away: "Ping'er, you have grown up, take the jade seal well, take Le'er, and escape quickly, my army is still on the frontier but has received my flying pigeon message, I'm afraid there are five days to go back and forth, you hide first, and then come back to recapture the palace when the time and army gather, remember, don't kill Fu'er, just spare his life and live." ”

An Le stretched out his hand and wanted to pull him along: "Father, shall we go together?" ”

The emperor looked at the coffin of the queen next to him, "No, they are still looking for a mechanism above, once they come in, someone needs to turn on the switch to block the pursuers together and block them here, I can't get out here, I can't go far with your mother, and I want to die here, this is where my father grew up, Ping'er, hurry up and leave with your sister, hide, and live well." ”

Suddenly there was a voice not far away, and it seemed that they had already entered.

The emperor took out the edict from his arms and stuffed it to Anping: "Take the edict and leave quickly." ”

An Ping wanted to stun his father and take him away, but the emperor took the lead in taking out a dagger and pointing it at his throat: "I know what you are thinking, if I don't want me to die in front of you immediately, then you should leave quickly, go!" ”

An Ping wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, An Le was still there and pulled the emperor to take him away, An Ping pulled An Le to kneel down and kowtowed to the emperor, "Father, Ping'er will take care of Le'er, and he will definitely come back to take the palace back." ”

The emperor nodded, "Okay, good boy, okay, let's go." ”

Seeing that they were about to come, An Le cried so much that she didn't want to leave, so An Ping had to knock her unconscious and pick her up and leave.

The emperor looked at An Ping, who looked back and waved his hand, "Let's go, live well, live." ”

As soon as An Ping escaped, a large number of people blocked the emperor in the secret passage, and sure enough, forced him to write an edict for succession.

An Fu looked disdainful, "Father, I am your eldest prince, shouldn't you pass on to me according to the edict of the ancestors?" You have already favored our three brothers and sisters since they were named, what is the most precious thing in this world, naturally peace and happiness, but you gave them all, but you gave me a rich word, and in the end the throne was not given to me, you are really good. ”

An Le woke up slowly, and suddenly there was an explosion in the dark passage, and she cried more and more sadly, but she couldn't cry now, not the time to cry, An Ping stood by and looked at the guards outside, thinking about how to leave the palace.

But in an instant, An Ping pulled An Le and prepared to leave from upstairs: "Le'er, are you afraid?" ”

An Le shook his head: "Don't be afraid." ”

An Ping wiped away her tears with his hand, "Brother knows that Le'er has always been not afraid, then hold my brother's hand tight, my brother will take you to the roof to escape first, and when the army comes, we will kill it back, and then Na Anfu will pay the price for his father-killing behavior." ”

An Le held An Ping tightly.

He chose a place where the guards were most loosely guarded and jumped on the roof, avoiding the soldiers from all walks of life to come to the gate of the palace, and was about to jump down when an arrow suddenly hit him in the back, and a man with an arrow was standing below staring at him, it was An Fu's henchman.

The arrow was poisonous, and An Ping spat out a mouthful of blood.

An Le tightened him and wanted to take him to jump down first, An Ping thought for a while, if Le'er took me, she would definitely not be able to go far, and it would drag her down, I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this Anping Kingdom, and what An Fu wants to catch the most is me, and if you want to come to An Le, a girl will not pose a threat to him, and she should have a chance to escape.

He took An Le's hand and wanted to exert his strength, and slowly took out the jade seal and the edict from his chest and stuffed it to An Le: "Le'er, the army will come over soon to arrest me, the arrow is poisonous, I can't go far, you take the jade seal and the edict and run away, fortunately, the jade seal of our Anping Kingdom is very small and can be carried around, you have to protect it." ”

An Le cried and pulled An Ping to jump down: "I don't want it, I don't want it, I just want my brother to come with me." ”

Anping used internal force to stop her from taking herself down: "Le'er, you heard my brother say that my father wants my brother to seize the country, but my brother doesn't want you to take revenge, as long as you live, it seems that my brother can't fulfill his father's last wish to recapture the country, then my brother will go down and apologize to my father in person, but my father and mother love you so much, I will never ask you to avenge them, you just need to live well, just live, live, understand?" ”

An Le cried very sadly, "Don't don't, brother, I don't want it, okay with me, I beg you, okay?" ”

An Ping heard An Fu's henchman Ah Yin shouting to him behind him: "Your Highness, my eldest prince is on the way here, you should have enough of it, right?" Then go back to the palace, the princess has been kind to me, I will naturally spare the princess's life, you can rest assured. ”

Ah Yin was just an ordinary soldier when he was not An Fu's henchman, and he was once bullied very badly by those soldiers who were a little bit powerful, and it was the princess who stood up again and again to drive them away for him, and also smeared him with wound medicine.

When Ah Yin stood below and saw the two people on the roof, he slowly raised his bow and arrow, aiming at An Ping's back and pulling An Le's back, those scenes of the past came to mind, how good the princess was to him at that time, if it wasn't for the princess, he would have suffered more.

So he shifted his gaze, aimed at Anping's back, and shot out, each for his own master, isn't that it?

An Ping smiled: "Then I'll rest assured, good sister, live well, I have to replace my brother, father and emperor, and the queen mother will live well together." ”

Without waiting for An Le to say anything more, he pushed An Le off the palace wall with all his strength, and fell in front of Ah Yin.

"You, you promised me, let go, let it go."

An Ping pointed at Ah Yin and said.

On the other side, An Fu was carried on a stretcher and rushed over with injuries, and Ah Yin covered his body and whispered to An Ping: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, I, Ah Yin, will never hurt Princess An Ping." ”

An Fu came to An Ping, "Hmph, my father is really cunning, and he wants to turn on the switch to trap me for the rest of my life, if it weren't for the group of soldiers who died with gunpowder, I'm afraid I would really be trapped there, and I won't be able to see you, third brother." ”

An Ping spit out a mouthful of blood, and the poison had already attacked his heart, "Today, it seems that my life is at rest." ”

An Fu looked at An Ping, who was poisoned on the ground and his lips had begun to turn purple and was about to die in a few moments, and asked, "Where is that little girl An Le?" No, no, no, that's my good sister. ”

Ah Yin hurriedly spoke: "Tell the eldest prince, that girl is probably already dead, and she is a useless lord." ”

An Fu turned his thumb jade wrench, "Oh? Looks like this enemy is dead, huh? Don't you say? ”

Before Ah Yin could react, An Fu stabbed a sword into the back of his left foot, "Ah." ”

An Fu sneered: "I obviously saw him cross the roof with that girl, and there was no body on the way, where did he die?" Say..."

An Le was pushed outside the palace wall and was about to fall to the ground, I'm afraid that if she doesn't exert her strength at this height, she will be crippled if she doesn't die, but she is already desperate, my brother is afraid that he will never live, and Anfu will not let go of his brother, so what is she doing alive? All of them died.

For a moment, her heart was like ashes, so she closed her eyes and let herself fall, and suddenly a wind struck, and she fell into a warm embrace again, yes, the second prince.
