Emperor Chu looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, concubine, no one can go past you." ”

He turned his head to look at the chamberlain and said, "Send someone to urge them again, and bring them quickly." ”

The chamberlain quietly glanced up at the queen, bowed his head in response, and bowed and withdrew.

The queen tightened the handkerchief in her hand, stood nervously behind Emperor Chu, and looked at the people coming and going outside the door without saying a word.

Time passed little by little, Emperor Chu's face became more and more ugly, and after he got angry a few times, the guards finally escorted three people over, all of whom were concubines.

They were all concubines with children, and the queen squeezed the handkerchief tightly and looked up at them.

The three concubines looked up at the queen with pale faces, and left with a touch, and then stepped forward to salute the emperor.

Emperor Chu carried his sword and walked up to the three of them, pinched the chin of one of them and asked, "Concubine Qi, where is my emperor?" ”

Concubine Qi trembled, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the third prince is greedy for fun and has gone out of the palace." ”

"Out of the palace?" Emperor Chu sneered, "The Liang army has invaded the city, do you also fool me as a fool?" ”

After saying that, he shook his hand fiercely and threw the person to the ground, his eyes sharpened, and he glanced at everyone and said, "I am not dead yet, so you dare not listen to my orders?" Go find them out, my Huang family has no descendants who are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

He looked back at the queen, his face was full of anger, "Huang Yi'an is just that, that rebel son I don't recognize it, but everyone else is my Huang family's blood and bones, and they should be by my side." ”

The queen's face turned pale, and she slowly knelt on the ground, lying on the ground and mourning: "Your Majesty, the concubines are willing to follow Your Majesty, the children are still young, let them live." ”

"How can the king of the dead country have a good time, let them live like a dog?" Emperor Chu took two steps forward and asked with suppressed anger, "Wagging your tail in front of Emperor Liang like a dog and begging for mercy?" ”

The other three concubines also knelt down one after another, lying on the ground and shivering.

If it was the Shu army that was attacking the city, they might not be able to stop Emperor Chu, and it was not necessarily better to be alive than dead, but now it was the Liang army that was attacking the city.

Emperor Liang was notoriously generous, and their children might not have a good time going to Liang, and they might be humiliated, but the insult they received would certainly not be as good as death.

If you can live, why should you die?

But here in Emperor Chu, there is no difference between the hands of Emperor Liang and Emperor Shu, they are both the kings of the fallen country, after the fall of the country.

He was determined not to allow him to be insulted by this.

Emperor Chu asked people to search again, and the queen and the three concubines were nervous, at this moment, they hoped that Liang Jun would enter the palace soon.

I don't know if the concubine hid the child tightly, or the guards released the water, in short, the child was not found for a long time.

The emperor's face became more and more ugly, and the chamberlain glanced at the queen carefully, and stepped forward tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the servants have turned over the palace, and there is no trace of the princes and princesses, but it seems that they are no longer in the palace." ”

This is a rebuilt palace, there are only five entrances, and the first two entrances are still office locations, and they can only hide in the back of the three entrances, all of which will be this, and everyone is about to turn over the ground.

Emperor Chu sneered when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the four people kneeling on the ground obviously angered him.

He nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, you all work together, I'm not dead yet." ”

He turned around and glared at the chamberlain, and ordered: "Dig three feet into the ground to find them out, and if they resist, solve them on the spot!" ”

Everyone's faces changed, Concubine Qi and the others fell to the ground softly, and they all looked at the queen.

The queen crawled forward, hugged Emperor Chu's legs, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, tiger poison does not eat children." ”

Emperor Chu looked down at her, met her gaze, and said with a slight smile: "I am doing this for their good, as a country that has perished, it is more painful to live than to die." ”

The queen trembled her lips and said: "But it is the Liang army that is attacking the city, Emperor Liang has always been benevolent, he will not be too ......"

Emperor Chu was furious when he heard this, and kicked the queen away, "Do you think that I am not as good as Emperor Liang, and you are also the same as Xiang Shan?" ”

The queen clutched her chest and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, looking at Emperor Chu in horror.

But the chamberlain had already gone down with the guards who had received the order.

The third concubine was like falling into an ice cave, and looked at the queen with a chill.

The queen also fell to the ground, shaking her hands and looking out.

Because the emperor gave an order, there was a noisy search outside, and the movement here quickly spread to the front.

The Chu ministers were startled when they heard the movement, and their faces turned pale and they looked at Song Ji, who was the leader.

Song Ji didn't speak with a white face.

The ministers sighed slightly, feeling a little ashamed in their hearts.

The Song family has a lot of benefits because of the queen, and now His Majesty obviously wants the concubines and princesses in the palace to be buried, but he can't stop it.

After returning to Liang, there is a Chu Hou, and there is no Chu Hou, the difference is still very big.

Even the serious uncle didn't speak, and the others couldn't move.

Outside, the Liang army was still advancing step by step, and at this time everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they fought here, but they did not surrender, nor did they go further to die with Emperor Chu.

Fu Jing, who had been sitting silently in the crowd, got up and went to the backyard, and the ministers were startled, and after being silent for a while, a few courtiers followed behind.

Song Ji glanced at their backs, and stood still after his feet moved.

When a group of seven or eight people arrived at the backyard, they did not go to the main courtyard, but went to the residences of several royal children, and stopped the guards who were about to throw stones into the well.

Fu Jing shouted angrily: "Your Majesty is confused, are you also confused?" Tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention whether Your Majesty will regret it in the future, but once the Liang army attacks, you know that you killed the prince and princess, do you still have a way to live? ”

The other ministers shouted angrily, "Don't stand down yet!" ”

"But Your Majesty gave a death order......

"You go elsewhere to search, if Your Majesty asks, just say that the prince and the princess have left the palace," Fu Jing asked with a cold face, "Just say that I Fu Jing took it away." ”

The guards looked at each other, hesitating and refusing to retreat.

At this moment, the shouts of killing outside shook the sky, and Fu Jing said coldly, "The Liang army has attacked, why don't you go and protect Your Majesty!" ”

The commander of the guards hesitated for a moment, glanced at the mouth of the well, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!" ”

As soon as the people left, Fu Jing hurriedly found a rope with the ministers and tied the wooden barrel and put it down, half a sound, the rope in his hand was heavy, they hurriedly pulled it up, and the bucket was filled with a child.

took out the third princess, who was only about five years old, and hurriedly put down the rope to pull the other princes and princesses up.

Two princes and three princesses, the eldest is seventeen years old, and the youngest is only five years old.

When a few people saw a few palace people lying in the courtyard, they recognized that it was the person they were waiting for, and they cried out one after another.

Fu Jing suppressed the tears in his eyes and comforted them: "It's okay, it's okay, the minister will take you out." ”

The second prince recognized Fu Jing and hurriedly asked, "Master Fu, has the Liang army attacked?" ”

Fu Jing looked outside the wall, listened to the voice and sighed: "It's coming!" ”

The five princes and princesses didn't know whether to be sad or happy, and their feelings were complicated for a while, but they still followed Fu Jing out.

The eight ministers escorted the five people out, and one of them grabbed Fu Jing and said, "If you can escape out, it's best if you can take one of our families and send them away?" ”

Fu Jing shook his head and sighed, "The Liang army has surrounded the entire city, where can we escape?" If you accidentally bump into the hands of the Shu army, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"But ......"

Fu Jing raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, my uncle has some friendship with Lu Zhen and Lord Lin of Liang State, and with them turning around, the princes and princesses should not be too sad." ”

Several people looked at each other and acquiesced.

The latest to attack the other palace was Lin Xin's army, after all, the north gate of the city where he was located was opened from the inside.

As long as they surrendered, none of them would be killed, and for Chu Chen, who happened to be in the front yard of the other palace, all of them were imprisoned, and none of them died.

For the five royal children brought out by Fu Jing, it was more favorable, and he found a side room to settle temporarily, and then he took people to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, the Liang army was confronting the palace guards of the Chu State, and when Lin Xin arrived, there was no battle, he looked at the guard commander opposite with a cold face, "Now that the entire palace is surrounded by my Liang army, do you think it is still useful to defend at this time?" ”

Without waiting for the commander of the guards to speak, an exclamation suddenly came from the room, "Your Majesty! ”

Lin Xin immediately led people to break in, and the commander of the guards had already turned his head and ran in, and as soon as the two of them entered, they saw the four concubines hanging under the beam, and Emperor Chu had already killed himself on the seat.

Lin Xin's gaze swept over Emperor Chu and looked at the commander of the guards.

The commander of the guard stared at him for a long time, and finally unsheathed his sword from his waist and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the guards of the Chu Palace put down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.

With a wave of Lin Xin's hand, the soldiers stepped forward to escort the people down, and then someone stepped forward to untie the people hanging on the beams, and the adjutant looked at their necks and said, "It was hung up after strangulation, and the emperor of the Chu State was also ruthless." ”

Liang Jun also found other concubines from the cellar and well, and when they saw the queen and Concubine Qi and others carried out, they were all frightened.

As soon as they received the queen's message, they hid, some of them were not found by the guards, and some of them were found, but they gave up a lot of money and begged them to let them go.

Concubine Qi and the three of them came forward voluntarily, after all, the emperor searched with such fanfare, if no one could be found, he might be furious in the end.

They were all children and did not dare to take that risk, so they were the first to stand up and leave with the guards.

I was prepared before I came forward, but I didn't expect it to come true.

Lin Xin didn't embarrass them, and asked them to take care of Emperor Chu's aftermath after escorting them down.

Although the state of Chu is dead, he is still the emperor, and it is impossible for Lin Xin to insult him, and even for the feelings of the people of the state of Chu, he has to treat the other party well.

Let people prepare a coffin to wrap the body, and then wait for the order of the imperial court.

The battle report was quickly sent back to Liangdu, and at the same time, the east and west gates were also broken one by one, and the Liang army officially took over Shaozhou City.

It was also at this time that Lu Zhen and the three began to investigate the opening of the city gate.

How could the soldiers defending the city be knocked unconscious so easily?

But before they could find out, someone came to see them.
