Ling Zixu and Xiao Qi fought in one place, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

The soldiers of the two sides waved their flags and shouted, cheering for their generals, and after a hundred rounds, Ling Zixu gradually took the upper spot, waved the Kaishan Yue, and cut Liao Qi's arm, and Liao Qi dragged the knife away.

The rebels covered the past, and after a scuffle, Chen Guojun was defeated and retreated to the capital, and the rebels came to the city.

The city wall of Chen Guoguo is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no better than Yancheng, He Mengxi convened the generals to discuss the siege strategy, Chen Che proposed to infiltrate the capital, contact the princes, get support, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and the city will be broken just around the corner.

He Mengxi was worried about his personal safety, Chen Che was determined to go in person, and other people might not trust those princes, so He Mengxi had no choice but to agree.

The rebels recuperated for ten days and began to siege the city.

There is also good news in the city, Chen Che and the princes have already negotiated, and the princes will defect and support Princess Chen.

Headed by Chen Xi, the king of Huang Shuqing, united with the royal family, and only waited for the righteous army to enter the city, they supported Chen Meiyu as the empress of Chen State.

It was agreed that the rebels would attack the city strongly, and a month later, the city was broken.

Xiao Qi was captured, the three protectors were killed, and Chen Jingyi had committed suicide.

The royal family members hated the same enemy, supported Chen Meiyu, the princess of Chen Guo, as the empress, and the empress issued an edict, counting Chen Jingyi's treachery, killing his father and sister, and being a jackal, indicating that Chen Jingyi was not of royal blood, and listed 80 major crimes, 300 whipping corpses, and violent corpses in the wilderness.

At this point, Chen's civil strife ended, and Chen Meiyu ascended the throne and became the empress.

On the border, the defense of Shu was eyeing the country, He Mengxi sent Chen Che to send troops to guard the border of Chen, and the defense took advantage of Chen's internal strife to forcibly seize the city and was taken back.

Although Shu did not move, since the empress ascended the throne, she began to ask for the two cities.

The dignitary is Ling Zixu, who made military exploits in Chen Guoguo and was named the waiting master by the empress.

He Mengxi became the empress and was rewarded according to her military exploits.

Li Qian served as the prime minister, Ji Fan was named the general of Dingguo, Lu Huan was the general of Shenwu, and the rest of the generals had their own rewards.

The princes of each family were rewarded, and the original civil and military officials of the Chen State, except for Chen Jingyi's lineage was cleared, the rest continued to stay in office, but there was no great turmoil.

As for the Shu State who helped, the main general of Shu led by Ling Zixu, the empress also rewarded him.

Because they were dual identities, they named Ling Zixu as the marquis, Fengcheng as the general of the left guard, Wei Feng as the general of the right guard, and Qingmei as the wife of the command, and the royal gift was completed.

Although Ling Zixu was named the marquis, he did not have a mansion, and he lived in the palace for a long time, accompanying the empress.

This matter is self-explanatory, the marriage between Shu and Chen was automatically dissolved, but Shu was not in a hurry to recall Ling Zixu, but just assigned him a task, the marriage could be dissolved, and the two cities needed to be returned.

For this reason, Ling Zixu racked his brains and couldn't sleep at night.

The palace of Chen Guo has been renovated, the previous traces have been erased, and it has been renovated and arranged with He Mengxi's aesthetics, and it has a new look.

Needless to say, some of the new male maids were young and handsome men, which really made Ling Zixu angry, and since he got the news, he couldn't sleep well, and he had to see the empress.

It's just that the empress excused herself to be busy with court affairs, but she didn't see it, which made Ling Zixu angry.

He stood at the gate of the palace and waited, until the sun set, and then saw the honor guard of the empress returning from the next dynasty.

Ling Zixu rushed forward and blocked in front of the imperial chariot, He Mengxi had to wave his hand, and all the entourages stopped, and He Mengxi greeted him.

"Master Hou, what's wrong, the entire harem is yours, aren't you satisfied?" He Mengxi, who was dressed in a phoenix costume and wore a golden crown of phoenix wings, asked impatiently.

Ling Zixu walked forward, looking far away from those waiters, and then spoke.

"He Mengxi, what do you mean, it's okay to have those palace maids waiting, what is the reason why you want those young and handsome male attendants to enter the palace?" Ling Zixu's eyes were on fire.

He Mengxi's face did not change, and his expression was indifferent: "If you men become emperors, you have three palaces and six courts, and I only have one you, are you still not satisfied?" Besides, I don't like eunuchs, and it's not appropriate for the palace to be full of female waitress, so there are some manual tasks that need men to do. ”

"That's not the reason!" Ling Zixu's eyes turned cold.

He Mengxi smiled: "Everyone has a love for beauty, no matter men or women, handsome always makes people look more comfortable, isn't it?" ”

Ling Zixu said angrily: "I think you want three palaces and six courtyards, do you also want to ......?"

Ling Zixu came to his lips and did not continue.

He Mengxi glanced at him, and suddenly laughed.

"Master Hou, you're too good at thinking about it, isn't it too lonely for you to stay alone in the harem, or let Fengcheng and Wei Feng come to talk to you?"

Ling Zixu sneered: "Don't divert the topic! ”

He Mengxi said: "In this way, I will take you out of the palace for a walk, and we will go to meet someone." ”

"See whom?"

"You'll know when you get there!"

After preparing a sedan chair and opening the road, Ling Zixu followed He Mengxi to the prison of Chen Guohuangcheng.

He Mengxi took him to the dungeon and saw a person, Xiao Qi.

In the sturdy iron fence, there are few shawls, a scruffy beard, shackles and leg shackles, and only two pairs of eyes are left in the thin one, which are prominent outward, looking very hideous.

He heard footsteps, jumped forward like an animal, grabbed the railing, and cried out, "Who? ”

When He Mengxi and Ling Zixu appeared in his field of vision, he leaned backwards and curled up in the corner, no longer making any sound.

"General, what are you hiding?" He Mengxi asked loudly.

After a long time, with the sound of chains, Xiao Qi stood up, his voice weak.

"Why not...... Kill me? ”

"What, waiting?" He Mengxi sneered.

"Anyway, sooner or later, it's a death, early death, early life, eighteen years later, come back and ask for your life!" Xiao Qi said lightly.

"Haha, that's easy to say, you really think so? As far as I know, when you were tortured, you begged for mercy, and moreover, you also confessed a lot of Chen Jingyi's lineage, in order to make meritorious atonement and spare your life! ”

When Xiao Qi heard this, he shrank back again, and remained motionless in the corner, not even looking at her.

He Mengxi sneered: "You can spare you, but I can't let you go, you can only stay in this prison for the rest of your life!" ”

Ling Zixu looked left and right, looking around at this prison, it was even more solid than the Xicheng Prison in Shu Kingdom, the walls were thick, windowless, dark and damp.

In such a place, anyone who comes in will not be able to escape.

It's just that in this place, there aren't many criminals.,It looks like there's only one person.,It's a single room.。。

This is supposed to be the place where the felons are imprisoned, and further inside, there is a single room, which is empty.
