Chapter 246: Back to Your Own Room
The mourning period of the first emperor has not yet passed, and the three princes have already stepped on the throne with one foot, and they are only one enthronement ceremony away.
His biggest opponent, the second prince, has been eliminated, and the remaining princes are definitely not his opponents. However, what he never expected was that just when he thought everything was ready, Changning City was taken down by soldiers. He didn't even know who those who were calling, and what they wanted.
Before the throne was seated, he first ushered in a test.
With the assistance of the queen and his relatives, he immediately dispatched troops and made people resist to the death.
However, the first emperor's new funeral, at this time was in a period of unstable monarchy and chaos in the court, and he was caught off guard again, and the final result can be imagined.
The court was in a mess, and all the civil and military officials were like headless flies, and the palace was chaotic as if it was about to be in trouble.
The people sent by the second prince resisted, but the result was not good, and before dawn the next day, the city gate was breached.
After the city was broken, the leader was dressed in battle armor and led the people behind him to rush into the city.
Among the generals who defended the city, some recognized him and looked at him in amazement.
Isn't this person the battalion commander of the Changning City Patrol Battalion, Zhang Chai? Why is heβ
Before he could come up with a reason, a long knife swung at him, killing him instantly.
Gu Li stayed in Yan Qing's room all night, listening to the neighing of horses outside, she couldn't sleep nervously. It wasn't until the middle of the night that she fell asleep at the table.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that it was already dark outside. Gu Li sat up straight, and a snow-white robe slipped off her shoulder.
"Awake?" Yan Qing asked softly.
"Hmm." Gu Li agreed, while picking up the clothes that had fallen on the ground and wrapping herself in them again.
She saw that Yan Qing was writing something, and it looked like a list.
"What is this?" Gu Li was curious and asked.
"List." Yan Qing glanced up at her and smiled slightly.
As he spoke, he replaced a blank piece of paper and wrote on it again.
Gu Li didn't continue to ask, she didn't want to know about him.
Yan Qing didn't tell her that the people on these two lists would have two different endings: life and death.
"I don't know what's going on out there." Gu Li sighed and said.
Yan Qing didn't reply immediately, but after writing the list, he said, "I'll go out and have a look later." β
Before going out, he went to the kitchen first and made breakfast for Gu Li.
After eating breakfast, Yan Qing got up to leave.
Before he walked out of the door, Gu Li suddenly called out to him.
Yan Qing turned his head and looked at her with a smile on his face, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Li blinked, hesitated for a moment, and only said two words.
"You stay safe."
"Come back early."
It must be chaotic outside now, even if she knows that Yan Qing will definitely be able to protect herself, she is still worried.
Yan Qing also replied to her with two sentences.
"Okay."
"If you are sleepy, you will sleep, go back to your own room, not in my room."
When he had said this, he went out.
Gu Li secretly wondered in his heart, what did he mean by the last sentence just now?
Why did you let her go back to her own room and not in his? He usually never shy away from her, and he never wouldn't let her go to his room, what's wrong with this time? Could it be that there is some secret in his room?
Although Gu Li was suspicious, she didn't go to Yan Qing's room to find out.
After Yan Qing left, she waited at home, however, until dark, he still did not return.
Gu Li couldn't help but worry, afraid that something would happen to him and what danger he would encounter.
If she knew the purpose of Yan Qing's trip, then she would definitely not worry about him anymore. It is not he who is in danger, but someone else.
At this time, Yan Qing was in the palace of the Yue Kingdom.
He stood behind Xiao Wen and was not publicized, but everyone could see that he was the backbone and the one who made the decision.
Xiao Wen has been in Changning a long time ago, but he hasn't shown up. It wasn't until his men broke through the gates that they entered the palace.
A day has passed, and the bewildered courtiers and officials now understand. The army that suddenly fell from the sky yesterday was not an external enemy, but an internal ghost.
Now present, the only real foreign enemy is Xiao Wen, and the mysterious white-clothed boy behind him.
Xiao Wen, as the regent of Gaochang Kingdom, came to Changning unknowingly, and also rebelled against tens of thousands of Yue generals and took them for his own use. When I think about it, I'm terrified.
But in any case, the ending was already like this, the capital of the Yue Kingdom was broken, and the three princes and the queen were killed.
However, as a large country that has been strong for hundreds of years, Yue has a profound cultural heritage, and there are naturally many high-profile officials. Even if the country is broken and the family is ruined, he swears not to commit treason and not to be a slave to the country.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Qing wrote two lists. Keep what can be used, and kill what can't be used.
He acted quickly and vigorously, and by a day the old officials had been almost wiped out. The drama of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys has been done, and the rest of the wavering ones will be slowly cleaned up in the future.
After cleaning up the officials, the next step is the people of the harem.
The queen has been killed, and the remaining women of the harem, according to their family background, are either released or killed.
And one of them was mortal.
However, in the middle of the night, Yan Qing suddenly received a message that Gu Zhilan was not in the palace.
He thought for a moment and left immediately, without delaying for a moment.
On this day and night, in the palace of Yueguo, which has been quiet for hundreds of years, people neighed and horses one after another. The piercing blood flowed slowly in the palatial court.
At this time, it was late at night, Gu Li didn't wait for Yan Qing, she fell asleep first.
She listened to Yan Qing's words and slept in her own room, but did not go to his room.
However, I don't know when, when she was sleeping in a daze, she suddenly heard a few slight noises in the room.
Gu Li suddenly sobered up and turned his head to look out.
There was no light in the room, and by the dim light of the street lamp in the courtyard, she could see a vague figure.
She subconsciously thought that Yan Qing was back, so she asked, "Are you back?" β
The figure didn't reply, and visibly stopped.
Because of this pause, Gu Li immediately reacted and understood.
This is not Yan Qing, nor is it anyone in this family, the danger is in front of her.
"Who are you?" Gu Li asked loudly, shouting as she got up from the bed.
But that person was as fast as the wind, and Gu Li only felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and he was attacked in front of him.
