Chapter 52: Taking the City as a Game

"The rebels have stormed the city! The rebels have stormed the city! ”

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, which made everyone panic.

They squeeze me, I squeeze you, everyone wants to run out and run for their lives, but everyone can't squeeze out.

Since the filial piety period has not yet passed, there is still a row of large white lanterns hanging in front of the palace gate.

In the dark night, the miserable white light reflected on everyone's faces, and the whiteness added a bit of fright.

The people here did not know if there were really rebels entering the city, but the sound of some rapid breathing in their ears and the cries of pain that came from time to time made their hearts panic.

Now on each of their faces, there are only two words in capital letters—fear.

I don't know when the lantern went out, and darkness instantly hung over everyone's heads.

There was a vague smell of blood from the tip of his nose, and the sound of a blade piercing flesh seemed to be heard in his ears.

After all, most people couldn't stand the atmosphere and cried bitterly.

At this time, the capital is still prosperous and peaceful, it is like purgatory on earth.

"So, in this situation, Your Royal Highness Princess An Ning, how do you end up?"

Separated by a wall, inside and outside the door, one is bright and one is dark.

These two situations may seem like two completely different situations, but in fact they are closely related to each other.

The petition of the people outside the palace seems to have reached the time for some people to act, and the forces that have been hidden in the palace for a long time finally can't help but come out at this time.

Princess An Ning chuckled unsurprisingly the moment she saw the captain, and then she consciously followed the captain in the direction of the room. On the contrary, it was Taiwei himself, who quietly showed a helpless expression towards Princess An Ning.

The person who can hold all the captains in his hands, this person's ability is really not to be underestimated.

So, when Princess An Ning stepped into the palace gate and saw Ji Xiuyi, she was quite surprised.

She couldn't help frowning, glanced at the captain, and then moved away a little distance from the captain, with unconcealed disgust in her eyes.

Standing beside Ji Xiuyi were several mysterious people who couldn't see their identities like guards. They pushed out the coffin bottle containing the body of the first emperor and hung it in front of everyone.

King Qin, Princess Ankang, and Princess An He were also held hostage by the people brought by Ji Xiuyi.

And King Xin, who has been white-faced, decadent and frightened for the past few days, has now returned to his arrogant and complacent appearance.

He held his head high, no one paid attention to him, and commanded a cadre of palace people to do this and that, without the arrogance of the royal family and nobles, but like a villain who once gained power.

The smug look on his face almost flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Seeing Princess An Ning being brought in by the Tai Lieutenant, his eyes lit up, and he remembered the heel he had planted on Princess An Ning, so he couldn't help but step forward and want to taunt her.

"Yo, isn't this Emperor Sister Anning, why did you come here, shouldn't you be busy showing your majesty in front of the palace, so busy that your feet don't touch the ground?"

Princess An Ning still didn't look at King Xin, who was coming straight at her, just skipped it as usual, walked straight in front of Ji Xiuyi, smiled, and sincerely admired: "Ji Xiuyi is really hidden, so that the palace is admired." ”

"Your Highness is really joking, in terms of resourcefulness, who in this palace can compare to Your Highness? The concubine is just a little bit of old friends. Ji Xiuyi saw Princess An Ning coming towards her, and she was not angry at her behavior of ignoring her son, but smiled faintly, and replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Being able to touch the light of friends is also an ability, and this ability is also very enviable. Who else in this world would not want to easily do nothing and achieve what many people can achieve after a long period of hard work?

It's like this palace, you have to do everything yourself, and it's too tiring. ”

"If Sister An Ning is tired, you can hand over some of what you hold in your hand, and let my brother and I share the burden for you." King Xin was once again ignored by Princess An Ning, and a haze instantly surged in his eyes, and his hands were clenched into fists.

After a few breaths, when he saw that Princess An Ning and her mother even talked happily with each other, she was even more annoyed in her heart. So he walked viciously towards Princess An Ning and his mother, as if he must let Princess An Ning look at him.

Although Princess An Ning was still smiling, her expression was obviously cold.

She looked at Ji Xiuyi in front of her, and suddenly sighed,

"Ji Xiuyi is really a mother's love, and she can do this for her son, but I just don't know what your good son thinks in his heart."

Ji Xiuyi smiled slightly, looked at his son King Xin kindly, and signaled him to be restless. Then he turned back and said to Princess An Ning in a gentle voice:

"Your Highness doesn't have to drive a wedge between our mother and son at this time. What kind of character Wen'er is, no one can understand better than me, a mother. In fact, the concubine is now inviting His Highness to come down, and she has a serious matter, and she has to complete it with His Highness. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Xiuyi raised her head slightly and looked into Princess An Ning's eyes.

Then, in those eyes, I saw the interest and interest that gradually rose.

Ji Xiuyi lowered his head, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said in harmony to Princess An Ning:

"The concubine heard that His Royal Highness was born with a natural style and likes some interesting things, so she specially prepared this for His Highness, presumably His Highness will not be unfamiliar."

Princess An Ning raised her eyebrows, and when she heard this, she was indeed interested.

She looked at Ji Xiuyi as if she was asking the person next to her to bring something like a chess table, and then placed it between the two, and then called someone again and brought two cups of dice.

She reached out and touched the glass dice in the cup, but her eyes looked at the unusual "chess case" in front of her with interest, and she couldn't help but chuckle, and her mouth shouted-

"It's fun, it's so much fun. Ji Xiuyi, you're really bothered. ”

Ji Xiuyi asked people to place the last cushions on both sides of the chess table, and then bowed slightly, and asked Princess An Ning to take a seat.

"Your Highness is interested, so now, let's use this imperial city as a chess game with the concubines, determine the number of moves and the number of times you can land with the size of the dice, and then look at the fate of each chess piece on this chessboard, what is it, how?"

"So, this dice is the key." Princess An Ning sat down slowly, holding her cheek with one hand and playing with the cup in her hand with the other, her eyes full of light reflected by the palace lamp.
