Chapter 158: Mutiny

After the matter of the phantom array was resolved, Hua Mian once again asked the crane to take him to Ji Yunye. In the end, the crane reluctantly nodded in agreement, but did not take her with him, but flapped his wings and flew away alone.

Although Hua Mian was anxious, he finally had hope, so he followed Ji Ling and them back to the palace to wait for news.

But there was no news for months. Qiu Tang seemed to have evaporated on the sea that day, and the crane never appeared in front of her again.

After Hua Dui heard that Wan Tao was pregnant, she personally came to Amaterasu to take her back to Nanxiu. As for what medicine Ji Yunye took, Ling Yue never mentioned it, because that would only add to Hua Mian's pain. It's better to give her hope than to despair.

Hua Myanmar turned grief into strength, accelerated the planning with Hua Feiyan, and decided to wipe out Hua Yuran and Hua Ruoshui in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost.

On this day, it was already night after Hua Feiyan's criticism was completed, but he did not immediately go back to Wisteria Garden to sleep, but summoned Hua Mian to the imperial study and handed her a volume of Ming Huang Holy Decree.

Hua Mian was a little surprised, and opened it easily, only to see that it was written: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Princess Ningwan of Dongli, Empress Hua Mian of Nanxiu Chenguang Emperor, is the blood and bones of me who have been left outside, with valuable character, benevolence, filial piety and wisdom, and deep Xiao Xiao, who will be able to obey the hope of the people, inherit the unification, and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor." ”

She said in surprise: "Mother Emperor Mo is not planning to pass it on to me?" ”

Hua Feiyan leaned back in the chair, pounded his somewhat sour shoulders and said, "Why not?" Anyway, this throne will be yours sooner or later, so what's the difference between a day earlier and a day later? ”

Hua Mian walked behind her, put her hand on her shoulder and kneaded it: "When does the mother queen plan to edict the world?" ”

"In a few days, it will be the Great Pilgrimage, and that is the most appropriate time."

"Wouldn't it be too rushed? What if Hua Yuran and Hua Ruoshui rebel? ”

"Hua Yuran has someone by her side, and as long as she makes a slight move, we can preemptively strike and make her unable to turn the sky."

At this moment, the candles in the hall were flickering and extinguishing, and there was a person sneakily stepping out of the dark corner outside the hall.

Hua Mian joked: "Does the Mother Empress think that this holy decree can really be announced?" ”

The corners of Hua Feiyan's lips were slightly hooked: "Don't you believe in the Mother Empress?" ”

Hua Mian increased the strength in his hand and said: "The mother queen must have something extraordinary to sit in this seat, I naturally believe in you." ”

Hua Feiyan patted her hand, signaling that she didn't have to press it anymore, then stood up and said, "Today is off to a good start, I'm going back to sleep well." ”

Hua Mian teased: "Does the mother queen want to be slept tonight?" ”

Hua Feiyan sighed: "Those men are all young, hungry wolves, and I don't know who slept with whom. I still want to get a good night's sleep today, so I'll be free. ”

Hua Mian persuaded: "It's time for the mother queen to restrain herself. ”

"What? Do you think I'm ridiculous like those ministers? ”

"It's not ridiculous, after all, you haven't wasted politics. I just don't think you're going to be happy. ”

Hua Feiyan said faintly: "At least this can make me forget the pain." ”

This made Hua Mian stunned, since she was unhappy, she did something that seemed to make people happy to forget the pain, which seemed to be a solution. Although she disagreed, she really couldn't think of a better idea. That's it, let her go.

The two went back to Wisteria Garden, and they really fell asleep and had a good night's sleep. And this night, the Jade King's Mansion was boiling like a pot, Hua Ruoshui and several henchmen were summoned to the mansion overnight, and the candle flame in the study flickered all night.

Coincidentally, the day before the Great Dynasty Meeting coincided with Hua Feiyan's birthday. When night falls, the Wisteria Garden banquet hall is full of light, music and music, it is the flowers and smoke in the night banquet ministers. The civil and military officials pushed the cups and changed the lamps, toasted and said joy, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Hua Feiyan was in a good mood, and ordered people to set off fireworks to help the fun.

When the fireworks burst into the sky, countless colorful fireworks burst out in the sky, Bao'er happily clapped her little hands and said, "Mother, look at it, it's so beautiful." ”

Hua Mian stroked his head dotingly and said, "Is Bao'er full?" ”

Bao'er nodded and said, "I'm full." ”

"Then let Ah Shi take you to the top of the palace, okay?"

"Yes, yes!" Bao'er said and went to pull Pei Yingshi next to her.

Pei Yingshi stared at Hua Myanmar, and her eyes contained different emotions. Hua Mian smiled back, and looked at Ling Yue next to Hua Feiyan on the high seat, and saw him looking at him with deep eyes.

Pei Yingshi also looked at Ling Yue, then nodded slightly to him, and left the table with Bao'er in her arms.

The moment the fireworks were lit, different from the joy of others, Hua Ruoshui and Hua Yuran showed an unbelievable face.

Hua Feiyan said that she had someone by her side, and this person could preemptively strike when she had any changes, and she speculated that this person must be a personal person, so she replaced all the personal guards tonight. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a seemingly insignificant, but actually important spy who betrayed her.

He swore that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no record of fireworks coming out, but where did the fireworks come from?

The colorful fireworks were the assassination code agreed upon by Hua Yuran and the commander of the cavalry guards outside the city. Originally, she wanted the assassin to disguise herself as a dancing queen and assassinate Hua Feiyan during the dance, and then blame Hua Mian. Half of the forbidden troops in the palace today are her people, and they can confront Hua Feiyan's personal guards for a while, and when the cavalry arrives, success will be within reach. She never expected such a change to occur halfway. The cavalry was not allowed to enter the city without the emperor's order, and at this time, there was no reason to enter the city, but it became a rebellion. In this way, the plan was disrupted, but the arrow had been wound and had to be fired, so it had to be stabbed in advance.

In the camp of the cavalry outside the city, Commander Wei saw the colorful fireworks blooming in the direction of the palace, and he was overjoyed, and immediately reorganized the army and said: "I will receive a message from the flying pigeon in the palace, the emperor is assassinated, and you will immediately follow me into the palace King Qin." ”

The army entered the city gate smoothly and marched towards the palace.

The fireworks were still being fired, and in a brilliant streamer, Hua Yuran glanced at somewhere under the stairs, and one of the forbidden soldiers drew his sword and flew towards the white jade high rank. Ling Yue, who was beside Hua Feiyan, bounced up and drew his sword in mid-air to block.

Everyone only felt that in the light and shadow of thousands of fireworks, a white light pierced the colorful colors like lightning, and the white light pointed directly at the woman in the high seat, and the next moment, a powerful sword qi instantly split the white light, scattering countless glimmers in the crisp metal impact, and the murderous aura was crushed to pieces.

When people reacted to the assassination scene being staged above, they heard an exclamation: "The emperor is assassinated, hurry up and escort him." ”

However, the tricks of the two above the high-level were too fast, and although some guards stepped forward to help, they couldn't intervene, so they had to wait and watch the changes around Hua Feiyan. In the flickering light, Ling Yue knocked the assassin to the ground with a single palm, and the long sword followed like a snake, pointing straight at his throat.

"Say! Who sent you to assassinate the emperor? ”

The assassin's eyes swept to the frightened crowd who had retreated to the side, and finally fixed on Hua Mian next to Hua Feiyan, and then smiled sadly at her, and the tip of his tongue curled up to swallow the poison hidden in his mouth.

Ling Yueyu's fingers flew down, pinching his acupoint, and in the next moment, he pulled out the poison pill in his mouth and unloaded his chin.

Although the assassination failed, he acted in a good show, Hua Ruoshui was secretly happy in his heart, so he lost no time in shouting: "Hua Mian plotted against him, and even sent someone to assassinate the mother emperor, come here, take her down!" ”

As soon as her words fell, a forbidden army stepped forward to capture Hua Mian, but was stopped by Hua Feiyan's personal guards.

"What are you still doing in a daze, come on!"

Seeing that the forbidden army was about to move, Hua Feiyan stopped them and said, "Slow! The exact person who instructed the assassins to assassinate me is still uncertain, so how can you go into a big fight just by hearing one thing? If there is no will, I will arrest my people and conspire against them! ”

Hua Yuran said righteously: "The emperor is bewitched by traitors, and I don't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, today we will be on the side of the emperor and the king!" Give it all to me! ”

At the same time as the words fell to the ground, the forbidden army did not hesitate anymore and rushed forward one after another. On the jade steps, there was a sudden sword light and sword shadow, and it also dazzled people's eyes at the moment when the fireworks went out.

Not long after, an urgent report came from outside the palace: "Commander Wei gathered the cavalry army and arrived outside the palace." ”

When Hua Yuran heard this, she immediately ordered: "Hua Myanmar is plotting rebellion, send an order to go down, open the palace gate, and let the Xiao cavalry come in to arrest the rebels." ”

"Imperial sister, I am not dead yet, when will you be allowed to give an order on my behalf?" The flowers are not smoked with majesty, and the eyes are sneering.

Hua Yuran said respectfully: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the courtier's sister is also concerned about your safety when she does this." ”

"Oh? Then don't I want to thank the royal sister for her loyalty? ”

Under Hua Feiyan's scorching gaze, Hua Yuran was almost unsteady, her hands in her sleeves were already in cold sweat, and the clothes on her back were wet with sweat and cool. The matter has come to this point, even if the teacher has no reason and is scolded by the world for killing the king and usurping the throne, she has decided to make a desperate bet.

Unexpectedly, Hua Feiyan smiled lightly and said to the attendants beside him: "Spread my will, someone in the palace intends to rebel and let the cavalry come to King Qin." ”

The attendant took the order and departed. Hua Yuran couldn't help frowning.

When the Xiao cavalry stood neatly in front of the main hall, and Commander Wei looked at Hua Feiyan, who was sitting peacefully on the jade steps, his eyes instantly overflowed with huge shock. Before he could figure out the situation, he heard Hua Feiyan's voice coming with deterrence: "Commander Wei, are you guilty?" ”

Commander Wei was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The minister learned that there was a change in the palace, and he led the troops to serve the king, but I don't know what crime he committed?" ”

"Don't you think you're coming too soon?"

Commander Wei broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes seemed to wander around unintentionally, and Hua Yuran staggered, catching her angry and anxious expression, and his heart was even more bottomless, and he said: "The minister received news in advance that someone wanted to rebel tonight, just in case, he led the troops to come, and hoped that the emperor would forgive the sin." ”

"Oh? Did you know it beforehand? Do you know who wants to rebel? ”

"This ......" Commander Wei thought that tonight's major event was a failure nine times out of ten, and it would be better to plan for today or to find a way out for himself first, he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know." ”

Hua Feiyan curled the corners of her lips with satisfaction: "Commander Wei is commendable and rewarding for his loyalty, now I give you a chance to make meritorious atonements, can you accept it?" ”

"The minister will not fail in his mission." Commander Wei hurriedly kowtowed and expressed his determination.

Hua Feiyan's eyes flickered, and he pointed at Hua Yuran and said, "Take down Hua Yuran and her henchmen together." ”
