Chapter 459: Betrayal (Part 1)
The sound of the impact of Jingyang Gate became louder and louder, and everyone in the East Palace panicked.
The guards of the East Palace all rushed to Jingyang Gate, although they didn't know what was happening in the palace city, but they knew that once the palace gate was broken, they were afraid that a catastrophe was coming, and they had to guard the palace gate no matter what.
The prince woke up at this time, and climbed into the carriage in a panic: "Quick, run away, go out of the palace......"
He suddenly remembered that he was the crown prince, and there were still the crown princess and Gu Mingzhu in front of him, as well as a group of palace maids, and hurriedly said: "Go out of the palace to summon the defenders and let them escort ......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly climbed into his carriage and ordered the guards of Xuande Gate to open the palace gate, and he didn't care about escaping, not even the pot-bellied crown princess.
The crown princess's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Your Highness, by all means, there is such turmoil in the palace at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should sit in the East Palace and think of rescuing ......"
These were all things she had just thought of in her panic, and she thought that if the crown prince could quell the rebellion at this time, then would this great position still be unstable?
What's more, there are also chaotic parties outside Chang'an City, if the city is really broken, it will be cornered, and even the reputation of the prince will not be guaranteed.
She was going to stop the prince no matter what.
But the prince was already frightened, where could he still take care of her, and scolded repeatedly: "Get out of the way, I want to go out of the palace and transfer the garrison to save my father and queen mother......"
The louder he spoke, the louder he almost drowned out the noise behind him.
The crown princess looked at his almost distorted face and began to be afraid, she helped the palace maid and shed tears: "Your Highness, if Your Highness leaves the palace at this time, what should the saint and the queen of heaven ask in the future?" Now that the East Palace can still be defended, His Royal Highness should stay in the palace and order someone to transfer the defenders......"
The crown prince was already frightened by the loud noise behind him, and roared: "The palace gate is about to break, do you want me to fall into the hands of the rebels......"
In a panic, the crown princess suddenly saw Gu Mingzhu on the side, and immediately screamed: "Lord Lingling...... Yes, those thieves must have wanted to take her, otherwise how could she have just arrived in the East Palace, and the thieves would have come over, they must have been trying to hold her! If she is handed over to the rebels, she will definitely be able to keep the East Palace. ”
The crown prince and everyone on the side immediately looked at Gu Mingzhu.
The female officials and maids behind Gu Mingzhu were all startled, and they didn't think much about it, so they hurriedly stepped forward to protect Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the princess's face became colder and colder, she thought that this woman was just stupid, but she didn't expect that she was so vicious, she actually wanted to hand over Gu Mingzhu to the rebels at this time, knowing that if she was sent over, she would only have a dead end, and the rebels would not let go of the East Palace, which clearly wanted her to die.
She said gloomily: "The crown princess knows that I am holding the queen token and leaving the palace on an important matter, but she still wants to send me into the hands of the rebel army?" ”
The crown princess choked for a moment, but her eyes flashed slightly: "I don't know if those palace guards are here to get you, otherwise why would they enter the East Palace as soon as you come!" ”
The prince's eyes were already red at this time, and his eyes looking at Gu Mingzhu were also full of suspicion and malice, he had already believed the princess's words.
Gu Mingzhu was extremely angry at this time, but he also knew that this was the East Palace, if it was true that the two of them were going to do something stupid, no one would be able to stop them for a while.
She glanced at Abi and whispered, "Go back to the carriage." ”
A group of people escorted her and slowly retreated to the side of the carriage, looking at the crown princess's eyes that were already full of resentment, and her heart couldn't help but feel cold, didn't she fall into the hands of the rebels today, but was sent to death by Donggong.
At this time, the Xuande Gate had already creaked open under the order of the prince, and most of the guards guarding the gate rushed to Jingyangmen to support, leaving only three or two to stay here and wait for the prince's orders.
Gu Mingzhu blinked, and suddenly pointed in the direction of Jingyangmen: "It's not good, the rebels rushed in......"
The crown prince and the crown princess were frightened as if they heard some terrible news, and hurriedly turned around to look at Jingyangmen, lest they see the rebels breaking through the palace gate and rushing in, but ...... There was no sign of a rebel there.
At this time, Gu Mingzhu shouted: "Go!" ”
The coachman shook the reins in a spirit, and the carriage sped towards the Xuande Gate, which had been opened for the most part, passing through the guards who had rushed over in a daze, and rushed out of the East Palace.
The crown princess didn't even have time to shout when she saw Gu Mingzhu's carriage disappear into the deep night outside the palace gate, and her original anxiety suddenly turned into depression.
This time it's really over, even if the rebels are pacified, the queen of heaven may not be able to spare her easily.
Gu Mingzhu's carriage rushed out of the palace gate and galloped on the streets of Chang'an, the people in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Mingzhu's heart never let go, now is the most critical time.
She needs to find out what is going on with Simon, and she also needs to find out who the other party is as soon as possible so that she can know how to deal with the next situation.
Running all the way to the market, even the Wuhou who patrolled the streets in the past was nowhere to be seen, and the door of the market was opened, thinking that the chaos at the west gate had alarmed the city of Chang'an, and they all rushed to support.
The Hussar General's Mansion had already turned on the lights, and several servants in front of the mansion looked at the door tremblingly, lest someone break in, and when they saw Gu Mingzhu's carriage parked in front of the mansion gate, they were so frightened that they hurriedly came up to salute.
Gu Mingzhu didn't care to say much, and asked, "What about the general?" ”
"Go, go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then leave......" The servants were also frightened when they thought about it, and their hands were not easy to slip.
Gu Mingzhu didn't say much, and ordered the carriage: "Go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”
He turned his head and said to Abi: "You stay and help the second lady take care of the house." ”
Abi suddenly burst into tears: "County Lord, how can the maid stay here, the county lord goes to the Governor's Mansion alone, if there is anything......"
Gu Mingzhu made a straight face: "Listen to my orders, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the mansion this time, you help the second lady and Mama Han to look at the mansion on both sides, and nothing can go wrong." ”
Abi had to get out of the carriage with tears in her eyes, and watched the carriage speed into the night again, and then turned around and entered the general's mansion heavily.
She knew that Gu Mingzhu was afraid that she would follow her on an adventure, after all, no one knew what had happened in Chang'an City this night, but it was safer to stay in the General's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion.
However, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but risk his life to rush to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and only when he got there, let Gu Qing mobilize the defenders to rush to the palace as soon as possible, so that he could rescue the saint and the queen of heaven as soon as possible.
