After all, after more than ten years of turmoil in the palace, the queen quickly calmed down.

She called Xu Siyan: "Quickly go to Zhumingmen and Shuntianmen, let the imperial city and the palace city seal the gate immediately, and order the Praetorian Guards to strengthen the defense of the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the imperial city without my permission." ”

She turned her head and said to Gu Mingzhu again: "Mingzhu, you take the pair of cards and leave the palace immediately, go and ask General Gu to go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division immediately, mobilize the Chang'an garrison to go to the West Gate, and be sure to calm down the trouble." ”

Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took orders to rush outside the palace.

However, everything is not as simple as they thought, the Zhuming Gate and the Qianhua Gate of the palace city have been closed, and the guards guarding the door do not know where they went, the eunuch patted the door for a long time, shouted for a long time and did not see movement, only heard the sound of fighting and screams from time to time inside, it seems that something has happened in the imperial city.

The grandmother who was sent to deliver the message had weak legs, so she couldn't be afraid, and rushed back to the Manna Hall with someone to report the news.

Gu Mingzhu also noticed that something was wrong, she took the right card to Anli Gate but was stopped, the guard guarding the door stood high on the city wall, and ignored the female official holding the palace card, just ordered them to go back, saying that no one was allowed to enter or leave without the order of the commander of the guard.

Gu Mingzhu was very uneasy in her heart, seeing that the guards guarding the door turned a deaf ear to the token of the queen of heaven, it was obvious that she had received another order, but she was afraid that Miyagi was already besieged in secret, and she didn't know what the situation was outside the city.

She summoned the female officer back, got into the carriage, and went back to the Manna Temple.

It's just that the female officer didn't think of the current situation, but the guard couldn't see the token in his hand in the middle of the night, so she stepped forward a few steps, and still said: "...... In the name of the queen of heaven, the carriage is sitting on the ......"

Before she finished speaking, she heard an arrow swishing from the city gate, which pierced through her heart, and the force was so great that it pierced through her heart and nailed it to the ground trembling.

The female officer didn't even have time to finish speaking, she was already standing there in a daze, looking down at the bloody hole in her chest, and fell into a pool of blood after a few groans.

Such an accident frightened the palace maid and the coachman in the carriage, and they hid in the carriage in a panic, not knowing what had happened.

Gu Mingzhu's heart was pounding, but he raised his head to look at the city tower with the lights hanging, only to see the guards above looking towards the carriage with a sinister face, it was obvious that he had a strict order, if someone dared to trespass on the palace gate, there would be no mercy.

She commanded in a deep voice: "Turn around quickly and go back to the Manna Palace." ”

No matter what, the Praetorian Guards of Miyagi have also fallen into the hands of the other party, so they can trap both Miyagi and the Imperial City quietly, she must report to the Queen of Heaven as soon as possible, no matter what, she must find a way to keep the Manna Palace, and notify Gu Qing to come to the rescue.

The queen of heaven listened to Gu Mingzhu and Mama's reply, and her face was completely gloomy.

"The commander of the Praetorian Guard in the palace is Gao Zhan, he was brought up by a saint from the East Palace, he shouldn't be ......" She got up and walked a few steps in the hall, her brows furrowed, "No, he was sick in the palace a few days ago, and it was the deputy commander Yan Ruhai who was in charge of the affairs of the Praetorian Guard." ”

Yan Ruhai?

Gu Mingzhu can't remember that there is this person, Gao Zhan is very familiar with her, when King Xian was named the crown prince, Gao Zhan also went to the banquet of King Xian's Mansion to congratulate, but she really didn't remember who Yan Ruhai was.

The queen rubbed her forehead tiredly: "It was recommended by Ma Yuanji before, saying that he was the general of Xuzhou, who had meritorious service in pacifying bandits, and was good at training troops and garrisoning, and was the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard." ”

"I asked the prince and Gao Zhan for their opinions, but they all agreed, thinking that Yan Ruhai was up to the task," the queen of heaven half closed her eyes, "and let people investigate the details of Yan Ruhai, there is indeed nothing, Xuzhou people, who have been in Xuzhou for more than ten years, and Ma Yuanji are also old friends, so I allowed it." ”

Gu Mingzhu was also full of suspicion at this time, Ma Yuanji was the backbone of the party, if it was his old friend and he recommended him, how could it be...... And who is this mastermind?

The queen of heaven didn't think much about it at this time, and waved her hand: "No matter what, you have to find a way to deliver the news, the longer the delay is, the more the thieves will control the entire palace." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "There is a big chaos in the West Gate, and Chang'an City must have noticed it, but I am afraid that they don't know about the changes in the palace, and the thieves are clearly planning to attack Chang'an at night. ”

Xu Siyan on the side was full of anxiety: "It's just that all the palace doors have been sealed, how can I get out of the palace!" ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't have any way at this time, just frowned: "If there is a way to get out of the palace, I will go to see my father in person, and he will definitely believe it when he sees me." ”

At this time, there was chaos everywhere, and Gu Qing was afraid that he would not easily trust others, and mobilized the defenders to come to Miyagi.

The queen of heaven thought for a moment and said: "Go to the East Palace, the East Palace guards are the prince's personal guards, and they are not in the hands of the palace guards, so they should not be trapped over there." ”

It was still late at night, Gu Mingzhu and A Bi sat in the carriage and rushed to Jingyang Gate without saying a word.

In the night, the carriage had no lanterns, and it was speeding on the dark palace road, and the attendants of the guards were nowhere to be seen, and even the palaces beside the road did not see the lights of the night, everything was quiet and terrifying, as if something terrible lurked in the deep darkness ahead.

In just over half an hour, a lot of things have happened, Gu Mingzhu's heart was heavy, and he didn't have the mood to open his mouth for a while, just looked at the Jingyang Gate that was getting closer: "Go and get the token and let them open the door, if you can't open it, come back immediately, don't delay." ”

The palace maid responded timidly, and got out of the carriage and stepped forward.

It's just that soon the Jingyang Gate opened and let them into the East Palace.

It seems that the queen of heaven has thought well, and the East Palace has not fallen into the hands of the other party.

She instructed the carriage to drive straight into the East Palace, and rushed towards the Xuande Gate of the East Palace non-stop, as long as the Xuande Gate is Chang'an City, now there is nothing more important than transferring the defenders as soon as possible to relieve the siege of the palace city, if there is a delay for a moment, the saint and the queen of heaven will be more dangerous, and when they fall into the hands of the thieves, the Tang Dynasty is in danger, and the Gu family is also in danger!

The guards of the East Palace watched the carriage go towards the Xuande Gate, and hurriedly went to report to the prince and the crown princess, although Gu Mingzhu had the token of the queen of heaven, but this was always the East Palace, and the prince could not know about it.

When it was still Yin, before the morning bell opened the palace gate, the Xuande Gate was closed, and the guards guarding the gate patrolled back and forth on the gatehouse.

Gu Mingzhu asked the palace maid to show the token again, but it took a while to hear the guards ask in a loud voice: "Dare to ask why the noble man left the palace from the East Palace late at night?" ”

It seems that the changes in Miyagi came too suddenly, without any warning, and the East Palace has not received any news.

In order to prevent accidents, Gu Mingzhu couldn't make it clear, so he could only let the palace maid say: "It's because the female official in the palace has a sudden illness, and the Imperial Doctor Department can't enter the palace at night for diagnosis and treatment, so she is in a hurry to borrow the road from the East Palace to send her out of the palace." ”

The guard looked at the carriage suspiciously, and whispered a few points, after all, he was a little unconvinced.

After all, there are several palace gates leading to Chang'an in the palace city, and there is no reason to borrow the road from the East Palace, but what the palace maid is holding in her hand is a real phoenix token, which is given by the queen of heaven, and they dare not stop it.

He was shouting to open the door, only to hear someone behind him shouting, "Slow! ”

The car of the crown prince and the crown princess drove over, and the cheer was shouted by the crown princess's cronies.
