Although the messenger was dispatched, the atmosphere in the inner hall of Kunning Palace was still very heavy, and everyone's expressions were still solemn and did not dare to relax at all.

Mrs. He was the most anxious, standing and walking for a while, thinking about her family outside the palace, "I don't know what happened to your father and brothers?" What about the children in the family who didn't follow up with the palace today? ”

Although Miss He was worried, she was very curious about who was plotting the rebellion, "Who do you guess is the person who suddenly rebelled?" Second prince? The Eighth Prince? Or the Nine Emperors? ”

Wei Qingqing has also been pondering this matter in his heart, at present, it is the Nine Emperor Princes who lead the Praetorian Guard, and it is the Eighth Emperor who holds the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates.

But since Gu Wan's death, the Nine Emperor Princes have been in a slump and drunk every day...... Could it be that it is the Eighth Prince who is plotting against him?

Just when everyone couldn't guess who the rebel was, the gate of Kunning Palace was suddenly slammed with a bang!

The "bang-bang" knock on the door is like thunder in the rain, and like a rhythmic drumming, which hits everyone's hearts one by one, shocking people to panic, and a heart jumps straight with the "bang-bang"!

Aunt Qiu went to answer the door at the signal of Queen He, "Who is outside the door?" ”

The people outside the door did not report their home, but shouted in a hurry and quickly: "There is a change in the palace!" The emperor ordered his ministers to come down and invite the queen to take shelter in the Qianqing Palace! Please open the door quickly, and your majesty will escort you to the Qianqing Palace! ”

When Mrs. He heard this, her face was immediately full of joy, and she took Queen He's hand excitedly and said, "Niangniang, the emperor has sent someone to save us!" I knew that the emperor would not ignore us, but you are the mother of the main palace! ”

Wei Qingqing was so happy when she saw that she only heard a sound, and couldn't help but pour cold water on her again in a quiet tone, "Mrs. He is so sure that the person knocking on the door outside must be someone sent by the emperor?" Maybe Wei Jieyu was standing behind him, waiting for him to knock on the door so that he could come in and kill! ”

Wei Qingqing's words frightened Mrs. He's body, and she said with a pair of eyes: "No, won't you?" ”

Although she said this, she subconsciously took a few steps back, looking like she didn't dare to get too close to the palace gate.

At this time, Empress He said in a deep voice: "Miss Wei is right! The current situation is chaotic, and it is indeed unclear whether there is a friend or foe outside! Except for the emperor in person, we can't open the door unless anyone comes! ”

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice slightly and said to the people outside the palace gate: "This palace is very good, please don't worry about the emperor!" The emperor now has important matters to deal with, so the palace will not go to cause trouble for him! The people outside told the emperor all the words of the palace, and if the emperor blamed the palace afterwards, he would take it all in! ”

After Empress He finished speaking, she waved her hand decisively, and immediately a team of "eunuchs" who did not look like eunuchs rushed out with knives, scattered and guarded under the corner of the wall, looking like they were sworn to guard Kunning Palace.

"Pass on the decree of the palace, if anyone dares to trespass on Kunning Palace, they will all be killed!" As Empress He spoke, several strong mothers-in-law carried a few logs behind the door.

Although Empress He responded quickly and steadily, Wei Qingqing was still not very optimistic in her heart - if the rebels insisted on breaking the gate of Kunning Palace, how could they resist the rebels with just one palace gate, a few columns, and less than thirty eunuchs?

While Wei Qingqing was secretly worried in her heart, she was even more impressed by this Queen He, who had been sick since she entered the palace!

After Empress He learned that Wei Lanlan had rebelled, she not only did not panic at all, but also dealt with it moderately, and she quietly hid so many "eunuchs" with high martial arts in her palace!

Wei Qingqing saw that Empress He could be so calm, and secretly speculated that she was either not afraid of life and death, or she still had the last hole card in her hand!

At this time, the person who spoke before outside the palace gate spoke up again, "Is the queen mother going to resist the decree?" ”

Empress He ignored it, and the other party sneered and finally asked: "Is the queen mother determined to open the palace door no matter what?" ”

"Yes!" Empress He replied simply and neatly this time.

"Good, good!" The man said three "good" words in a row, and then the words changed and pointed at Kunning Palace, "There have been changes in the palace, and the Qianqing Palace has experienced a battle to stabilize the situation!" The emperor ordered his subordinates to take people to protect the palace concubines and search for the remnants of the anti-thieves, and now the queen insists on refusing to open the palace door, and the ministers have to suspect that you are harboring the anti-thieves! ”

"Bold! How dare you frame this palace with your words! Empress He said angrily!

"If the queen wants to prove her innocence, then open the palace gate and let her subordinates search Kunning Palace!" Not to be outdone, the man said.

Mrs. He saw that the man had a nose and eyes, and couldn't help but persuade Queen He, "Niangniang, the courtiers don't look like the adult outside the door is lying, the emperor kindly sent someone to save you, will you anger the emperor if you insist on going your own way?" ”

She lowered her voice a few points as she spoke, "If the emperor suspects you of harboring thieves, it won't be your business alone, and our He family will be doomed!" ”

Wei Qingqing glanced coldly at Mrs. He, who was always confused, and unceremoniously broke her illusion, "I have already gone to the outside of the Qianqing Palace to investigate, and it is surrounded by the Praetorian Guards with red sweat scarves on their arms, which shows that the Praetorian Guards have turned against ...... Dare to ask the emperor what kind of manpower to fight with the other party and stabilize the situation? ? ”

"W-How do I know this?" Mrs. He stumbled and said, after speaking, she felt that Wei Qingqing's words were quite reasonable, and immediately changed her mind, "Queen Mother, let's not open the palace door, wait for the emperor to come in person!" ”

Queen He's heart was like a mirror, she didn't plan to open the door from beginning to end, and even ordered the small kitchen to boil a few pots of hot oil and put them under the palace wall!

And the people outside the Kunning Palace also seemed to have lost their patience, and quickly tore off the mask of hypocrisy and moved the wooden pillar that slammed the door!

"Knock...... Knock ......"

The heavy wooden pillars hit the two vermilion nail doors of Kunning Palace again and again, not only knocking the palace door trembling, but also smashing the hearts of Wei Qingqing and the others trembling!

Wei Qingqing stared at the palace gate intently, and her heart went up and down - they had no way to retreat, and those two palace gates were their last barrier!

As soon as the palace gate is broken, the rebels will immediately pour in like a tide and start killing......

Wei Qingqing didn't dare to think about the picture of the broken palace gate of Kunning Palace, so she could only pray that the situation would be reversed before the rebels broke through the palace gate!

If you can think of hiding in the dungeon, maybe you can still get a chance of life!

But there was only one entrance to the underground palace that she knew, and it was still in the imperial garden some distance from Kunning Palace......

Wei Qingqing had just this thought in her heart, and she heard Empress He say in a deep voice: "There is a secret room in Kunning Palace that is very hidden, let's hide in it first, and then go out when the situation calms down!" ”
