The picking of medicinal fruits was relatively smooth, and I thought of visiting the master before leaving, but the master didn't seem to be in the mountains, so I had to go back first.

I had just returned to the bottom of the mountain when suddenly a group of people surrounded me. These people are not gangsters, but officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department.

I was a little confused, the leader of the voice said a long series of words in a straight tone, and I didn't listen very carefully, until I heard the words "the daughter of the guilty minister", I reacted:

Did they know that I was cold and shallow and a remnant of a traitor, so they wanted to arrest me?

But after I returned to Shengjing City, I didn't go out less, why didn't I find out before, and now I came to arrest me?

Actually, I didn't have much panic in my heart, but I was very puzzled. It wasn't until those men came up to arrest me that I began to think something was serious:

Every time I go out, I have secret guards accompanying me, and they see this scene in the dark, but none of them show up?

Did no one find me out? How is this possible?

What I didn't expect was that this group did not take me to the Punishment Department, but took me into the palace.

I had a vague feeling that this was extraordinary, but I couldn't figure it out.

In the Wende Palace, Yue Xiongqi was originally discussing with the ministers, and after listening to what the person who reported it, he ordered someone to bring me into the palace.

I stood in the center of the main hall and looked up, only to see Yue Xiongqi sitting on the dragon chair.

Seeing this, I clenched my fists:

That seat belonged to his father, what qualifications does he have to sit in that seat!?

Yue Xiongqi noticed that my angry glare seemed to be very interesting, and raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Lu beside him stretched out his finger and shouted angrily:

"Bold! As the daughter of a traitor, you deserve to die, but when you see Your Majesty still so arrogant, you dare not kneel! ”

I laughed angrily and said, "Since my father-in-law said I was going to die, why should I kneel?" ”

Chenglu no longer scolded me, but gave the inner servant a look. Immediately, two eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right, seized me and tried to force me to kneel.

I struggled.

I didn't have any memory before, and I could still be the emperor of Yue Xiongqi and make a respectful gesture towards him, and now I will not bend my knee to this kind of rebel no matter what!

Just when I was about to lose my support, a man hurried into the temple to report:

"Your Majesty, the post house has sent a message...... Said ......" The person who came spoke stumbling and panicked.

"Say what?"

Yue Xiongqi was calm.

"It is said that the Emperor of the North suddenly visited Shengjing, and he has stayed in the post house, and he also sent someone to spread the word......"

The speaker swallowed and continued:

"Please don't embarrass the people around him, Your Majesty. Moreover, the Emperor Beili has come in person, and now he is outside the palace gate. ”

The messenger seemed to be frightened, and after saying this, he was already covered with cold sweat.

Ah Ran is here!? It also shows the identity!

Is he just doing it to save me?

He only planned to inspect the people's situation when he left the palace this time, but because Ling Niankong took me captive to Nanli Territory, he had to follow. Now in order to help me get out, I actually revealed my identity!

Am I messing with him?

Is it dangerous for him to enter the palace like this?

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they were in an uproar.

Yue Xiongqi frowned, and after a moment of silence, he ordered, "Please leave the emperor from the north and enter the palace." ”

The people who came had to be ordered to leave the palace, and the people in the hall did not dare to embarrass me anymore because of the people around me who called me the Emperor of the North in the rumor.

About two moments later, the palace came back to report: "Your Majesty, the emperor is already outside the palace." ”

Yue Xiongqi looked at me again and said, "Please." ”

I turned around and looked in the direction of the temple gate. I saw that Ah Ran had changed into a dark dragon robe and stepped into the hall leisurely.

He had a Shen Fengyue-style flirtatious smile on his face, but his whole body was full of bearing, which made people dare not get close.

When I entered the hall, he ignored no one, but just walked towards me, raised his hand to help me straighten my long hair behind me, and his movements were a little ambiguous, which made me feel a little awkward.

"Frightened, huh?" He smiled at the corner of his mouth.

I suddenly understood what he meant:

He wanted to make the people present misunderstand my relationship with him so that he could save me.

So he cooperated with him and said, "It's okay." ”

Hearing me answer like this, he symbolically arched his hand towards Yue Xiongqi.

At this time, one of the ministers exclaimed:

"Shen Fengyue!? Isn't this Shen Fengyue? Where is the Emperor of the North? ”

As soon as he said this, several ministers chimed in.

In his early years, Ah Ran would occasionally go in and out of Nanli as an envoy, so some ministers knew him. Not only that, Yue Xiongqi also recognized him.

Ah Ran looked at Yue Xiongqi, who was squinting thoughtfully, and smiled indifferently:

"I didn't care about politics in my early years, I did some ridiculous things, I hope you don't laugh."

Before Ah Ran's words fell, he heard a sneering from a minister:

"It's really ridiculous, and I don't know how Beili has such an emperor who has supported him until now.

However, Shen Gongzi, you said that you are the Emperor of the North and have to come up with evidence! ”

I couldn't suppress my anger, but I heard Ah Ran still laugh slowly:

"The evidence is there.

You must know that the Fengli faction has served my Yan clan for generations.

After Emperor Taizu established the country, he was supported by the 142nd head of Fengli to ascend the throne. At that time, the head of Fengli borrowed the blood Gu to place a ban on the dragon chair of the Zichen Palace, and when it was in danger, it could be activated by the blood of the Yan Clan's Son of Heaven to protect it from the invasion of the rebels within a radius of ten miles. ”

Ah Ran looked at Yue Xiongqi and continued:

"Although Your Majesty, when you attacked the city in the fifteenth year, you bought off the Fang Shi and the people in the palace to break this ban for a short time, but after so many years, although I dare not say that this ban can still protect a radius of ten miles, it should be more than enough to protect this palace.

Since the ministers question my identity, why don't you follow me to the Zichen Palace, so that I can drop blood as proof? ”

When the first minister heard Ah Ran's words, he said without hesitation:

"Bold! In front of His Majesty the Emperor, he made such a big statement! ”

Although the other ministers in the palace were not as impulsive as this, they could not express anger on their faces.

It's no wonder that Ah Ran's words were calm and justified on the surface, but when they heard from the people in the south, they must have felt that Ah Ran was saying that this palace belonged to the Yan family, and Yue Xiongqi violated the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers back then, raised troops and rebelled, and rebelled.

Thinking of this, the breath that was holding in my heart suddenly became smooth.

Yue Xiongqi listened to Ah Ran's words, his face changed several times, and finally he smiled:

"Your Majesty is serious. Since I have come from afar, I should treat each other with great courtesy. As he spoke, he sent Chenglu to prepare a luncheon, saying that he was going to feast Ah Ran.

******

Because it was improvised, the luncheon was not grand. In addition to Yue Xiongqi in the Zichen Palace, there were also a number of courtiers in the Wende Palace.

Ah Ran was honored as a guest, and I knelt beside him, and Zhu Yu, who came with him, stood behind him.

"Ah Ran, what are you going to do?" I asked in a whisper.

He remained silent. "I didn't plan much."

"Didn't plan much? Aren't you afraid that this is a Hongmen feast? ”

I have told Ah Ran all the allusions of another world, and he understands what the "Hongmen Banquet" is.

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled. "Nothing to be afraid of......"

I thought he was confident and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but I heard him continue: "Because this is the Hongmen Banquet." ”

My heart chuckled. "What!?"

He chuckled softly. "It's a Hongmen banquet, but it's a Hongmen banquet that I set up."

I looked at him with wide eyes and incredulity.

He sighed lightly, and said a little lazily: "I've waited too long, I don't want to wait any longer, just today!" ”

Today!?

Could it be that Ah Ran is going to take advantage of today!?

Could it be that he had already planned it, no matter whether I was brought into the palace today or not, he would take action?!

Therefore, the forces he contacted along the way out of the palace this time are actually preparing for today!?

I was still in shock when I saw a Lin Wei suddenly rush into the center of the banquet hall.

Everyone was silent when they saw this.

That Yu Lin Wei's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a dumb voice:

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! The existing army is coming from the south of the imperial city, and I am afraid that it will be in front of the palace gate in less than half an hour! ”

South?

When I heard this, I felt a little strange, if it was Ah Ran's army, shouldn't it be from the north?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Yue Xiongqi's face sank, but he was still calm. "Who's the leader?"

"It depends...... It's General Ling! ”

After finishing speaking, the hall suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, and some ministers thought that they had heard it wrong, so they grabbed the collar of that Yu Lin Wei and questioned sharply, and some people shouted for protection.

I don't know if it's because it's so noisy, I just feel my head buzzing.

Not Ah Ran's army, but Ling Niankong?

I looked at Ah Ran in amazement, but he was as safe as I thought, in stark contrast to the chaos around him.

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

I have a hunch that Ah Ran should have known that Ling Niankong would rebel today, but did he just know that it was so simple?

Although I didn't want to speculate, although I knew that Ling Niankong would make a move sooner or later, I vaguely felt that Ah Ran seemed to have played a very important role in this.

Just now Ah Ran said that he didn't want to wait, so when I heard Yu Linwei come to report, I thought it would be Ah Ran's army.

But if you think about it, how could Ah Ran be so stupid?

He and I are still in this palace, if he does it now, won't he give himself and me to Nanli as hostages?

So, he found a way to make Ling Niankong send troops today?

But even if Ling Niankong wins, how can we get out?

Ah Ran smiled when he heard my question, picked something from the bowl in front of him, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Little fool, this food is non-toxic, you eat some to fill your stomach, it's still growing today!"

Judging by his laid-back appearance, he probably didn't intend to tell me the truth. Forget it, you'll always know when you get there.
