Yang Fei'er was dragged by Chu Tianzhao all the way into Concubine Yi's courtyard, and Yuanyuan was beating the emperor's back. Seeing them running in in a panic, he was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you two panicking like this? The emperor had his eyes slightly closed, but at this time he also opened them, and he looked at Yang Fei'er and Chu Tianzhao who were panting in surprise.
Chu Tianzhao didn't care about explaining, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi, hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late." β
At this time, the sound of shouting and killing had spread to Yifei Garden.
"What's going on out there?" Yuan Yuan asked in horror.
"It's too late to say more, hurry up, I'll explain to you on the way, anyway, someone wants to be unfavorable to the emperor."
The emperor was also confused, but he looked at Chu Tianzhao's expression and knew that something must have happened. A few people walked out of the courtyard at that moment, and Chu Tianzhao said: "I looked around, now only the Zhai Palace is not guarded by guards, and it is safe." Let's get over there first. Everyone wondered: Why is it safe without guards? At that time, I didn't bother to think deeply, and ran over there vigorously.
There is really no one here in Sainomiya. Several people were shocked, and the emperor asked, "Mrs. Chu, what's going on?" You tell me slowly. β
Chu Tianzhao slowed down for a moment and said, "I was ordered by the emperor to go with the army to reward the three armies. Say that you are ready when you are ready, and you will set off at the right time. But everyone waited left and right and didn't see the emperor come up, and seeing that it was almost time, Prince Jian asked the little eunuch to urge, saying that the emperor had gone to Yifei Garden, so as not to disturb people. Some people began to make irresponsible remarks, saying that the emperor did not put the subjects of the world in his eyes, but only greedy for women, Prince Jian reasoned with him, his face was red and his ears were red, and he was even about to do it, and Prince Jian also dropped the imperial wine. Weichen persuaded to fight, so he wanted to come to find the emperor, who knew that at this time, suddenly there was a fire in the city, someone raised his weapon high, shouted to kill the emperor, and there was chaos inside and outside the palace for a while. Weichen was worried that the emperor would comfort him, so he rushed to report the news. β
When the emperor heard this, his face was immediately colorless, and he asked forcefully: "Who is so bold to rebel?" When I get out, I'll kill him all over the house. β
Chu Tianzhao replied: "In my opinion, there are internal responses in the palace and in the court, otherwise it is impossible for rebels to rush into the palace all at once." For today's plan, I can only hope that the Nine Princes can lead the troops to quell the rebellion and arrest the rebels. β
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, there is also my Nine Emperor Brothers, I have always been good friends with him, and he will definitely come back to save me." I just don't know if he's got the news now? β
Yang Fei'er couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when she saw the emperor's optimistic expression. Things have come to this point, and I am still thinking about what Nine Princes will rely on to help, maybe this rebellion is caused by him. It's rare to be so naΓ―ve as an emperor. She thought for a while and said, "Let's not act rashly and send someone out to find out the situation." It's never too late to figure out the situation and make a decision. β
The emperor clapped his hands and said, "Hey, it wasn't for Miss Fei'er to remind me, I really didn't think about it that much." There are only a few of us here, so we can only let Mrs. Chu go again. As he spoke, he looked at Chu Tianzhao.
Even if the emperor doesn't say it, Chu Tianzhao will go out to inquire about the situation. There are two most important women in his life, and he won't let them be wronged in the slightest. He nodded and walked away.
Yang Fei'er's heart went up and down, she looked at the emperor and Yuanyuan, and both of them looked very bad. Fei'er smiled and said: "It's okay, Your Majesty, don't worry, things will pass soon, just a few chaotic parties, just catch them; Yuanyuan, you can sing us a little song. β
Fei'er originally wanted Yuanyuan to sing a little song to reduce the atmosphere, but Yuanyuan grabbed her tightly in fear, grabbed her arm with one hand, and her nails were deeply embedded in Fei'er's skin. Phil's comfort didn't help at all. The three of them were silent for a while, and no one wanted to speak, just waited quietly.
I don't know how long it was, but I heard the door slammed open. The three of them tightened their hearts at the same time and stuck to each other. The door opened, and it was none other than Chu Tianzhao who came in. It was obvious that one of his arms had been dislocated, and the other had a wound, and the blood was flowing out in a flash, which was very scary.
Yang Fei'er took the lead in rushing over, holding Chu Tianzhao and asking, "Brother Chu, why are you injured like this?" β
Chu Tianzhao didn't answer Yang Fei'er directly, and said with a pant: "Quick, the palace is no longer safe!" Listening to the tone of the rebellious generals, the rebel is the Nine Princes! β
When the emperor heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and muttered, "Impossible...... No way...... It is impossible for the Nine Emperor Brothers to betray me. β
Yang Fei'er said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing impossible about this. Since the Nine Princes have the courage to rebel, they must be ready for everything. Otherwise, the rebels would not have stormed the palace so quickly. β
"Yes, the rebels have surrounded the palace. The palace is already within their control, and the entire inner court guards have no resistance at all, it seems that they are their inner line in the palace. Now they are looking for the emperor everywhere, and they say that whoever finds it first will be sealed as the marquis of ten thousand households! Chu Tianzhao said while covering his wounds.
The round face was already blue, and the mouth was dehydrated, and he chirped: "Your Majesty, what should I do?" Will they kill us? β
Yang Fei'er said calmly: "Concubine Yi, don't worry, the Ninth Prince only wants to be the emperor." At most, they put us under house arrest. If you want to kill, you will only kill me and Brother Chu. β
The round jade hand tightly pulled Yang Fei'er and cried: "No, Sister Fei'er, if you want to die, we will die together!" β
"The emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he is the people of the world, how can he say that he will die if he dies? Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, Your Majesty, I think you should go out. Yang Fei'er said.
Chu Tianzhao used his sword to support the tiger body that was about to fall, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen swears to protect you to the death." As long as Weichen still has a breath of air, he will never let the other party get close to you! β
The emperor also came back to his senses at this time and said: "If you want me to be an emperor who surrenders, it is really better to let me die!" I will never surrender like the rebels! β
By this time, the noise of the rebels had spread outside Sainomiya. After a while, I heard a fierce knock on the door.
Chu Tianzhao straightened his waist, dragged his sword, turned back to them and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and lead them away, and you will find a chance to leave here." With that, he jumped out of the door and engaged the rebels.
Yang Fei'er wanted to stop Chu Tianzhao, but it was too late.
Hearing Yuanyuan's exclamation, Yang Fei'er turned around to take a look, only to see that the emperor was holding a dagger at Yuanyuan. He said with tears in his eyes: "Aifei, I thought I could give you everything, but my fate is like this. I don't want to see you insulted by other men, so I let me give you a sword. You are waiting for me on the Huangquan Road, and I will come to accompany you in a while. β
Yuan Yuan shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes, she was too frightened to speak.
Just when the emperor was about to stab down, his round slender hand touched the protruding object on the wall, and with a "boom", a stone door opened violently.
The emperor's dagger stopped in mid-air, and his posture was frozen at that moment.
"Your Majesty, there is a dark grid! We are saved! Yang Fei'er shouted excitedly.
Yang Fei'er pulled out her legs and ran out of the door, shouting at Chu Tianzhao, who was fighting with the rebels: "Brother Chu, hurry, come in!" β
Chu Tianzhao saw that it was Yang Fei'er who was summoning him, thinking that a rebel had slipped into the palace, pulled out of the enemy encirclement, jumped to her side, and asked, "What about the rebels?" β
"There are no rebels, we found a tunnel inside." Yang Fei'er didn't explain much.
Chu Tianzhao didn't think much about it, he stabbed to death a rebel who wanted to sneak attack with a sword, ran into the palace with Yang Fei'er, and blocked the door with a heavy object.
At this time, the emperor and Yuanyuan were staring blankly at this dark grid that fell from the sky and were at a loss.
"I'm here to find the way! You follow. Chu Tianzhao saw that there was still an exit, how could he let it go easily.
Chu Tianzhao bowed into the tunnel, and the other three followed.
As soon as the four of them entered the tunnel, the stone door came down with a bang, blocking the entrance to the cave, and no light could penetrate it.
At this time, Chu Tianzhao blew up the fire fold, and with the faint light, he vaguely saw an oil lamp hanging on the tunnel wall.
Chu Tianzhao lit the oil lamp, and only then could he see the situation in the Dao clearly. There is a torch every few dozen steps inside the tunnel, and there is a friend fire fold next to the torch. Yang Fei'er took a closer look, this fire fold was still the kind dedicated to Ouchi. It seems that this tunnel must have been used by the previous emperor to escape for his life if necessary. Strangely, there is a place where the two torches on the left side and the fire fold are missing.
The emperor said: "Could it be that this tunnel is the tunnel where Emperor Jianwen fled back then?" β
Yang Fei'er had already learned the history of the whole place, and asked, "Did there be an emperor who escaped from here before?" β
The emperor said: "I didn't know that there was such a tunnel in the palace, and I had never heard of it before. It is rumored that Emperor Jianwen died in a fire in the Battle of Jingjing, but the Yongle Emperor never found his body, although he claimed that the emperor had died, but he was always relieved and sent people to investigate. The Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen and the eunuchs beside him escaped from here. You see, there are no torches or fire folds in these two places, and they must have taken them. β
Yang Fei'er said in her heart: Sure enough, he is a person who has seen the world, and he wanted to die to martyr the country just now, but now he tells us about history.
Chu Tianzhao probed into the distance with a torch, wanting to see how far this tunnel was, but there was no end in sight.
The other three also lit torches and followed.
After walking for more than half an hour, I came to a relatively empty place. There is also an exit at the other end of the clearing.
Chu Tianzhao and the emperor still wanted to move forward, but they were stopped by Yang Fei'er: "We seem to be safe for the time being." There is no hurry to get out of the city, I am afraid that we will be caught by the rebels as soon as we get out of the city. The safest place is the most dangerous place. We'll stay here a little longer. β
The emperor said: "Miss Fei'er is reasonable, but how long will we stay before we are truly safe?" β
Yuanyuan, who was terrified on the side, interjected: "It's okay to stay for a few hours, but if it takes a day or two, I'm afraid we will all starve to death in this tunnel." β
Chu Tianzhao relied on his many years of experience in the rivers and lakes and said: "This place suddenly became empty, it must be that the person who built this tunnel is hiding other things here." β
When the other three heard this, they felt that there was some truth, so they walked to the four corners without saying a word. The open range is also getting bigger.
"Come and see, there are a few jars and wooden chests here." Yuan Yuan shouted happily.
Several people immediately surrounded them. For the sake of prudence, Chu Tianzhao picked open one of the wooden boxes with his sword, and then illuminated it with a torch, which turned out to be extremely well-preserved beef jerky.
The others opened other wooden chests, all of which were emergency and non-corrosive food.
Yang Fei'er accidentally knocked over an altar, and with a bang, she faintly heard the sound of water flowing.
Immediately after that, a strong fragrance came to the nose.
Chu Tianzhao shouted: "It's the best daughter Hong!" β
The emperor was a little drunk and said: "This altar daughter Hongshao has been talking about it for hundreds of years. β
Yang Fei'er smiled: "This time we have a mouthful." I didn't expect us to fall to this point, and we still have food and drink, and God really didn't treat us badly. β
Yuan Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Fei'er, don't laugh, how can we still have the heart to drink?" β
Yang Fei'er smiled and said, "My good sister, you don't understand this." The man who built this tunnel must have had a deep meaning when he put the wine here. Life is originally a dream, it is better to get drunk, and when you wake up, you may forget everything. Even if you can't forget, in this tense situation, do you think we can sleep tonight? If we don't hypnotize with such wine, I'm afraid we won't have the spirit to escape for our lives in a few days. β
The emperor mentioned a wine jar and said quite arrogantly: "Miss Fei'er is right, since you can't do anything, it's really better to get drunk!" β
All of a sudden, the intoxicating aroma of wine fills the entire authentic area.
Yang Fei'er glanced drunkenly at a corner and saw that there were also a few wine jars and crisp paper for packaging beef jerky and other foods. Before she could think more, her eyelids closed disobediently.
Yang Fei'er heard footsteps approaching step by step, she was frightened into a cold sweat, and shouted, "Run, someone else has entered the tunnel!" β
When Yang Fei'er got up from the ground, she found that only the emperor and Yuanyuan were sleeping on one side very indecently. Her screaming must have had no effect on them.
What about Brother Chu? Yang Fei'er's first thought flashed.
Just as Yang Fei'er was pounding her aching head vigorously, there was a shadow of a torch shaking at the other end of the tunnel. After a while, a person came out. Yang Fei'er fixed her eyes and saw that person was Chu Tianzhao. It turned out that when he woke up just now, he saw that the torches were about to go out, so he took a few torches on the way here.
Yang Fei'er snuggled in Chu Tianzhao's arms like a bird, and asked softly, "Brother Chu, as long as I can be with you, it will be the same everywhere." β
Chu Tianzhao's heart was shocked, and he opened the topic and said, "Miss Fei'er, why did you wake up so early?" β
Yang Fei'er rubbed her head embarrassedly and said, "It's still painful here." Aren't you in pain? β
Chu Tianzhao smiled and said, "That little bit of wine can't get me drunk at all." Besides, I don't dare to really fall asleep. If any rebels really discover the tunnel, it will be troublesome to come in. β
Yang Fei'er felt a warm current after hearing this.
Chu Tianzhao asked, "In Miss Fei'er's opinion, how long can we stay safe?" β
