The whole set of actions was done in one go, without giving Sun Zhao and the guards any time to react, and when the palace people who pretended to fall asleep and waited for the changing sky to arrive, the king of Pingchuan County had already put the long knife in his hand on Sun Zhao's neck.

No one dared to act rashly, they all hung their heads and refused to try to come forward to rescue Sun Zhao, and the palace people who were like grass on the wall knew the way of survival of the palace, pretending not to see anything, not knowing anything, maybe they could get a life back.

If you run to the Savior at this time, you will be a "traitor".

Sun Zhao was covered in filth, looking oily and slippery, his eyes were not blackened, and he was covered by a rotten vegetable leaf that fell from his head. The confusion in his heart was more than anger and unwillingness, because he never thought that he would be planted in two buckets of swill in his life!

"Cousin Pingchuan, sister Qinghe, what are you ...... What's to be done? Sun Zhao quickly suppressed the tumbling emotion, put on the mask of innocence, and tried to struggle again.

When the king of Pingchuan saw him like this, he once again remembered his son who died in the cold crack, and his bruised little face and facial features were blurred, but he would never forget the tragic situation.

He and Princess Xianjun visited various mansions together, eating behind closed doors, looking at people coldly, and only seeking to obtain a truth. The King of Pingchuan opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Sun Zhao, but he was silent for a moment, leaving only a sigh.

Meng Hui knew that he was too lazy to confront Sun Zhao again, because Sun Zhao would never admit the evil he had committed. She pulled the hemp rope and said with a smile: "The emperor is trapped in the palace by fire, the third prince, let's save it." ”

Meng Hui walked in front and held the rope, the king of Pingchuan County held the knife behind him, Agarwood walked on the left with a rolling pin in his hand, and the empty-handed Zi Sandalwood picked up a broken sword on the road, and the four of them pressed Sun Zhao violently and walked towards the direction of Taiji Palace.

Rivers of blood flowed, corpses were mountains, innocent palace people fell on the road, and there were countless guards from both camps. Fortunately, the reinforcements entered the palace, most of the thieves were killed, and the Taiji Palace fell into darkness, indicating that the fire had been extinguished.

Meng Hui and his entourage did not encounter any more fights, let alone people who fished in troubled waters and wandered through various palaces to do evil.

The darkness before dawn was thicker than it had just been at night, as if it was about to swallow the world, but everyone knew that if they waited a little longer, the morning sun would bring warmth and light again.

When Meng Hui walked outside the Taiji Palace, a group of people came on the opposite palace road, and she and the king of Pingchuan immediately stopped and bowed to the opposite side.

"The queen mother Wan'an."

The queen was not tired and looked solemn. She was followed by Princess Xian and a group of clan relatives and concubines, surrounded by imperial guards on both sides, and when she saw the embarrassed Sun Zhao, she had no intention of falling into the well, only glanced lightly, and her eyes turned back to Meng Hui and King Pingchuan.

"It's okay for you to be fine. Let's go, follow me to Taiji Palace to meet the emperor. Speaking of the emperor, the queen's face rarely showed a little worry. She knew that the emperor should be allowed to rest at this moment, but she was not sure if the emperor could still get up from this rest.

Only when the emperor is sober and makes a decision, can Sun Zhao and his party be punished, and only when the emperor personally makes an order, can the new emperor be justified.

Therefore, even after a night of tossing, the queen still did not dare to delay, and hurriedly led everyone to the burned Taiji Palace.

Meng Hui handed the rope to a royal guard, and returned to Princess Xian with agarwood and red sandalwood, and the two exchanged a caring look, and kept walking in.

The doors and windows of the hall were completely destroyed, and only the sturdy pillars were still holding up the roof, and the ground was a mess, and the smell of burnt paste filled the air.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not fall unconscious, but also looked very energetic. He sat on a chair half-draped, his waist straight, not happy or angry, but extremely majestic. The Virtuous King, covered in blood, was like a god of war, silently guarding his side.

Twenty Golden Sword Imperial Guards stood on both sides, and on the ground kneeling on the ground were jade concubines with dead faces, and many officials who participated in the rebellion, under such circumstances, Sun Zhao finally stopped pretending.

He tore off the mask of hypocrisy, looked expressionless on his face and covered himself with filth, knelt in front of him and hung his head, without saying a word, waiting for the emperor to fall.

"The three princes Sun Zhao formed a party for personal gain, murdered his sister, killed the monarch and rebelled, which is really unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice, and the crime is unforgivable. Now he is demoted to a common person, put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and waits for his fate. His fellow party, the three clans, and the side branches are not allowed to be officials within three generations. ”

The jade concubine's body went soft and fainted. A group of officials cried and cried, and shouted out a lot of evil things that Sun Zhao had done on the spot, in addition to the details of murder and rebellion, there were also looting silver, bullying women and men, conniving at domestic slaves and so on.

The emperor didn't bother to listen anymore, and waved his hand to let the guards drag them down. Under everyone's expectant and nervous gazes, he slowly opened his mouth again.

"Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded the heavens and established the capital of the Yuan Chu Maolong country...... The eldest emperor, Sun Xu, is the head of the clan, and the will of heaven belongs...... He was appointed as the crown prince and was in the East Palace. ”

"I have been suffering from illness for a long time, and I have ordered the crown prince to govern the government with the seal and take care of the army and supervise the country. Whatever the officials played, the crown prince decided. ”

The little princes, princesses, clan relatives and concubines present all sighed. A farcical rebellion made Sun Zhao, who had the best chance to be the emperor, become a commoner, and the most favored Seventh Prince also became the son of a slave of sin. The honest and steady prince is not surprisingly strong, but he has become a winner in life.

The eldest prince calmly knelt down and bowed to thanksgiving, and when he got up, he was already the most honorable person in this dynasty. Because the seemingly unhindered emperor actually had great internal friction, after arranging everything, he finally closed his eyes lightly and died in the crying of everyone.

*

When leaving the palace, Meng Hui poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the majestic palace that was left behind, without the shock and nervousness of entering it for the first time, and with more awe.

In this palace city, there are life and death, laughter and tears, reunion and parting, as well as the lives of the superior and the humble palace people, either unknown or brilliant.

When the years pass and the feudal system is destroyed, this palace city full of stories will always stand, leaving the material and spiritual treasures of future generations in this world.

"Say! Why are you stupid like that? Let you compete with the Ulan warriors? Princess Xian's sharp voice came from the carriage in front of her, and Meng Hui and the four maids could hear it clearly from such a long distance.

King Xian, who had not been handsome for half an hour, shouted loudly in pain, obviously his ears were choked again. "You let go! Am I not here to win good things for you? Look, this blood coral is so beautiful! Take it to make two handypans! ”

"Are you a fool?! This is a dyed ordinary coral! Princess Xian's voice was gradually swallowed up by the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of people marched towards King Xian's mansion.
