Not long after Chu Cheng returned to the palace, he heard that there had been a big upheaval in the imperial court.

Because of a trivial matter, the contradiction between Chen Taishi and Prime Minister Song Cheng deepened, and the partisan dispute between the two sides intensified.

Behind Chen Taishi stood Emperor Jianwu, behind Song Cheng stood King Mu Xian, neutral officials in the court, everyone was in danger, and they were afraid that one day if they were not careful, King Mu Xian would lead the army to force the palace to rebel.

"Huarong, what do you say about this?"

Empress Renxiao summoned Chu Cheng into Changchun Palace, and when she talked about it, she sighed.

Chu Ji was not very clear about the situation in the imperial court, she only said: "Although King Mu Xian is anti-minded, he wants to raise troops to rebel, and his name is not right." Again...... That doesn't have to happen. ”

Empress Renxiao said: "Your father can't eat or sleep well these days, looking at Dayuan, I don't know when the emperor's military power has been completely hollowed out, although your father is the emperor, he doesn't even have a henchman." Otherwise, I don't have to let you marry into the Taishi Mansion. ”

Chu Cheng was silent.

Empress Renxiao sighed: "It's strange to say, a very small thing, but Taishi Chen loves to eat peacock meat, but Prime Minister Song Cheng bit Taishi Chen, saying that he is arrogant and lascivious." Naturally, Taishi Chen will not compromise because of this, the quarrel between the two parties has involved Taishi Chen's greed for ink, and today is another day, your father and emperor don't want to go to court tomorrow. ”

"How does Father plan to mediate?"

"I'm just turning a blind eye as before." Empress Renxiao's tone was a little sad, "Actually, I miss a little bit of the time when your father didn't ascend the throne, how could there be so many messes to clean up at that time?" He only needs to give me a thrush and listen to the Taifu lectures, and he doesn't want to participate in these court disputes and partisan fights. ”

Empress Renxiao looked out the window, and there were catkins scattered on the windowsill, falling a white patch.

Time flashed, and it was another three days.

In the past few days, Chu Cheng has always been a little uneasy, thinking of the second sister Chun who was detained in the teaching department, and felt that something big was about to happen.

King Mu Xian wanted to rebel, and King Hengping didn't have a good heart, what is the secret between them?

Chu Cheng thought about it and thought about it, but she couldn't help but be curious, so she took someone to the Jiaofang Division for an excuse, and came to the secret room with ease, wanting to rescue Second Sister Chun, but found that the cage in the secret room had been removed and was empty.

Coming out of the Teaching Workshop Division, Chu Cheng was even more worried.

She thought about it, whether it was for Mao Bi to go to Dali Temple to deliver the news to Lin Boqin, and ask her to tell Lin Boqin that the second sister of Lin Boqin was gone.

Back in the palace, Qin Gao was already waiting outside the Fengyang Palace, looking anxious: "Princess! You're back! The queen asked you to go to Changchun Palace! ”

"The queen mother is looking for me again?"

Chu Cheng suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and came to Changchun Palace with Huanyue Washing Star, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw that Empress Renxiao's face was pale, and she ran quickly and said to her: "Huarong, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter, the queen mother?"

Chu Cheng asked hurriedly.

Empress Renxiao retired from the palace maid, looked at Chu Hui, and said in a forbearant voice: "...... Chen Taishi's military department and King Mu Xian's five military governor's mansion had a dispute last night and a fight. ”

Chu Cheng was shocked, stood up and said, "King Mu Xian rebelled?" ”

"Not really."

Empress Renxiao was also a little flustered: "The people of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, in the name of deducting military salaries from the Ministry of War, clashed with the army under Taishi Chen, but they did not force the palace, it was just a private dispute among the army. ”

A group of martial artists wrestled and boxed and so on, and there were a lot of injuries.

But no matter what the banner is, the situation is very serious.

Empress Renxiao was distressed: "I don't know what King Mu Xian has in mind, I'm afraid that your father's throne will not be guaranteed." ”

Chu Cheng comforted: "Queen Mother, don't worry about the sky. ”

"The queen mother is not unfounded!" Empress Renxiao raised her head and blurted out, "Huarong, you don't know anything!" Do you know your father's ...... Actually......"

Chu Cheng frowned: "Actually, what?" ”

Empress Renxiao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Forget it, you can go back."

Empress Renxiao closed her eyes tiredly and raised her hand to support her forehead.

Chu Cheng asked a few times, but Queen Renxiao didn't answer, and in desperation, Chu Cheng had to ask the palace maid to take good care of the queen and get up to leave.

Not long after returning to the palace, a message came from Mabi's side: "Princess, Lord Lin said, let you be more careful these days." ”

"Careful?"

"Yes." Mao Bi took out a long brocade box from her arms and handed it to Chu Hui, "This is what Lord Lin dragged the slave maid to give to the princess." ”

Chu Cheng opened the brocade box suspiciously, but saw her golden silk soft sword inside.

Thinking of those things at the beginning, Chu Hui's expression deepened, and she put away the golden silk soft sword, not much happy.

Because of Lin Boqin's distrust, in the end she minded.

She liked him, but so what? Even if it was a misunderstanding, he did live up to his ignorant and innocent affection.

The next day, there was news that Prime Minister Song and Taishi Chen were both defeated.

At night, the bangzi had just been knocked three times, and Empress Renxiao's worries came true.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen broke through the tranquility of Chang'an Avenue and attacked the imperial city, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

They held the banner of "Qingjun Side", went straight into the palace, and captured Emperor Jianwu. No matter how fast Chu Ji reacted, she didn't expect that there would be someone in the palace who would cooperate with her inside and outside, and surround her Fengyang Palace, and not even a fly could fly out.

"Princess, although you are strong in martial arts, I advise you to be captured." He Zun led a group of officers and soldiers, stood outside the Fengyang Palace, and said coldly to Chu Cheng, "If you act rashly, Empress Renxiao and Emperor Jianwu are afraid that they will die faster." ”

Chu Cheng had met He Zun, who had never been involved in partisan fights in the DPRK.

But now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Thinking of King Hengping, who also pretended to be crazy and stupid and pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, Chu Cheng also understood, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Lord He, if this palace is not mistaken, have you been working for King Hengping?" ”

He Zun smiled slightly: "I am very surprised that the princess actually knows about this. ”

"King Hengping has been inconspicuous for many years, and Bengong, who is a niece, underestimates him."

As Chu Cheng spoke, she quietly touched the golden silk soft sword on her waist, "It's just that I'm curious, King Hengping has no real power for so many years, and he can gather so many soldiers today, could it be that he and King Mu Xian have reached some cooperation?" ”

"King Mu Xian?"

He Zun sneered, "King Mu Xian is just a useless straw bag, and Emperor Jianwu loses both, and it is the time for King Hengping to benefit!" ”

Chu Cheng said "oh": "I didn't expect to underestimate King Hengping usually." But do you think that if you play the banner of Qingjun, you won't be laughed at by the world? Won't anyone know what you've done tonight? ”

"Huh."

He Zun was obviously amused by Chu Hui's words, "Shame? King Hengping is just doing the right thing for heaven! ”

Chu Cheng frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I'm afraid the princess doesn't know, right?" He Zun's tone was light and contemptuous, "Today's saint is just a wild seed. ”

Chu Cheng was shocked.

He Zun continued: "Emperor Jianwu's biological father is just a poor scholar in Jiangnan. And your imperial grandmother is just a geisha who can play musical instruments, the edict left by the first emperor was tampered with by Emperor Jianwu, he has sat on the dragon throne for so many years in vain, and he is not afraid of losing his life! ”

Chu Cheng did not doubt his words.

Empress Renxiao wanted to talk to her several times, but this is what she wanted to say?

Regardless of whether Emperor Jianwu is of royal blood or not, he is his father.

Thinking of this, Chu Hui's heart became firm, she looked at He Zun, pretended to be calm, and asked rhetorically: "If, according to what you said, my father and the emperor tampered with the edict, then to whom did the original edict pass the throne to?" Without waiting for He Zun to answer, Chu Cheng said to herself, "It will definitely not be the King of Hengping, he has been a straw bale for too long, and when the emperor was in power, he was the one he didn't like the most." If I'm not mistaken, it should be...... King Mu Xian? ”

He Zun's face was not good.

Chu Cheng smacked her mouth: "If this is the case, it should be King Mu Xian who rebelled against the palace, not King Hengping." So, Lord He, isn't it inappropriate for you to lead the troops to surround the imperial city so late? ”

"The princess is clever and eloquent, I have no words."

He Zun suddenly sneered, "But during the time you spoke, Emperor Jianwu and Empress Renxiao should have already fallen to the ground." ”

Chu Cheng pretended to be relaxed, and finally cracked into pieces when she heard this.

Her father and queen mother, no one can be fine!

She touched the golden silk soft sword at her waist, shook her wrist, and attacked He Zun.

***

At the same time, inside the Changchun Palace.

Empress Renxiao, dressed in plain clothes, stood straight in the middle of the dormitory, surrounded by heavy soldiers.

The person at the head, with a goatee and brocade clothes, is around forty, and it is Yuwen Huaihai.

Empress Renxiao's face was extremely calm, her eyes turned around Yuwen Huaihai's face, and she said lightly; "It turns out that the backer behind King Hengping is the Marquis of Yuwen."

She and Emperor Jianwu have focused on King Mu Xian for many years, and they don't know anything about what King Hengping did.

Yuwen Huaihai said coldly: "Niangniang don't be surprised, as long as you hand over the last fragment of the thousand-mile map, I will spare your life." ”

When Empress Renxiao heard the "Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", her body shook slightly, and she almost fell to the ground: "You ...... How do you know that I have a map of thousands of miles here? ”

The matter has come to this, and Yuwen Huaihai is too lazy to hide it.

He sneered and said, "Lu Guinian is in charge of the Sect Division, I have been there the most times, and there are many descendants of the Jin God Sect in the Sect Division, just ask, you can always ask." ”

Yuwen Huaihai's "casual asking" must be a life that tortures people rather than death.

Empress Renxiao's heart was cold.

The treasure map in her hand was the palace maid who was selected in the Teaching Workshop Department that year, and because she was grateful for her kindness, she took it out and gave her a thank you gift. Later, the palace maid died, and Empress Renxiao never dared to take it out. To this day, Yuwen Huaihai aimed a knife at her heart.

"Marquis Yuwen, even if you get a treasure map, so what?"

When Yuwen Huaihai heard this, he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Empress Renxiao.

He raised his head and laughed: "God help me, I originally found three fragments, this time by chance, I got another three, and the last one, and asked the queen to donate generously." ”

After Yuwen Huaihai finished speaking, he raised his hand and went to search for Empress Renxiao's clothes.

Empress Renxiao was light, Rao is she calm, and after all, she couldn't help but exclaim for help, at this moment, the door of Changchun Palace was suddenly pushed open, but it was Lin Boqin Huo Ying who arrived with a team of men and horses to expel Yuwen Huaihai.

"Queen Mother! Are you alright? ”

The people brought by Huo Ying fought with Yuwen Huaihai, and Lin Boqin stepped forward quickly and helped the queen up.

Empress Renxiao saw Lin Boqin's face, but he was with Huo Ying, and he was extremely handsome, so she had a good impression, and only said: "There is nothing wrong in this palace, you quickly lead Huo Ying to save the emperor!" King Hengping and Yuwen Huaihai joined forces to rebel, but Taishi Chen was defeated and had surrendered! ”

"Taishi Chen has surrendered?" Lin Boqin was shocked.

Empress Renxiao also sighed helplessly: "The military department is really weak, and there is no power to fight back in the face of Yuwen Huaihai's army. ”

Lin Boqin's face sank like water, and secretly scolded Taishi Chen for being useless.

In vain, he spent a lot of effort to make the King of Hengping mistakenly think that he had found six treasure maps.

At this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound of breaking the wind, and Lin Boqin suddenly raised his head, and saw that the soldiers behind Yuwen Huaihai pulled their bows like a full moon, and released dark arrows to hurt people.

Seeing that the arrow was about to fall on the neck of Empress Renxiao, Lin Boqin didn't know what he thought, so he pushed the queen away, and with a "snort", the arrow sank deep into his left arm, and the blood instantly wet the light blue sleeve!

The soldier missed a blow, and shot an arrow again, Lin Boqin was injured and slow, and when he saw the arrow coming, he was more than capable but not enough. At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky, and the golden silk soft sword "snapped" the arrow, and Chu Cheng appeared with the golden sword in her hand, and her willow eyebrows were tightly twisted.

“…… Sister-in-law. ”

Lin Boqin clutched the wound on her shoulder and called her name in a reluctant voice.

Chu Cheng's figure was slightly stunned.

She turned around and squatted down, lifted his arm, looked at the rolled flesh and blood, and finally couldn't help but red her eyes and burst into tears.

She choked up and said, "Lin Boqin, you owe me a debt, this arrow...... It's paid off. ”
