When Jian'an was married, King Kang himself was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, he was extremely depressed, wandering around, and then found this place, and at that time he happened to receive the news from Jian'an, and ignited the fire that had been extinguished in his heart, so he spent money to find someone to clean up and build this place again.

In the past few years, he has also spent a lot of energy and practice here, so this fortress has not only been restored, but even the walls of the outer city have been heightened. When the Rouran people came, they were hidden here by him.

On one side of this mountain is a cliff, on the other side there is a narrow mountain pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has hoarded a lot of rations here, once he evacuates here, he can keep a temporary peace.

He has almost all the relatives and nobles in his hands, and with such a hostage in his hands, no matter how much Emperor Zhao wants to kill him, he will not ignore the families of the ministers in the court.

"Chief, that guy withdrew to Xiaomang Mountain with the Rouran people and the ladies of the court." When Lu Peng and the others followed Ye Tingcheng to pursue to the mountain pass, Ye Tingcheng ordered people to stop.

The two peaks stand on either side of the mountain, and the location of this pass is about three miles long, and only two horses can cross it side by side.

King Kang also made the worst plan, part of his own palace guarded the mountain pass, seeing Ye Tingcheng with troops chasing after him, rolling wood and stones from the mountain and rolling down, Ye Tingcheng in order to avoid his own people being hurt senselessly, so he stopped the Jinyi guard in front.

Lu Peng and Fang Dabing wanted to chase in, but looking at the stones and wood falling on the side of the mountain, almost half of the already narrow passage was blocked, and they didn't dare to set foot in it easily, so they could only ride their horses back and tell Ye Qingcheng.

"Let people camp here for the time being, and guard this crossing." Ye Chengcheng looked at the surrounding terrain and could only frown, if he forced his way through, the casualties would be very large. She doesn't know the situation inside now, although Ye Miaocheng casually brought out the map here, but only marked the terrain near the imperial tomb, but did not mark the situation in this Xiaomang Mountain, and now she is rushing forward, just asking her own people to be cannon fodder.

There is a saying that "the poor don't chase".

King Kang is now like a lost dog, and it is really not worth it to be bitten back by him, besides, he still has so many hostages in his hands, if he enters rashly, provokes him, and kills the hostages, then she will suddenly become a sinner from a hero.

Ye Chengcheng hasn't said a word to his father yet, and he doesn't know if his mother is inside, the major event of Concubine Min's funeral, according to reason, Princess Pingjiang and Concubine Fang should come.

Ye Miaocheng chased after him from behind, his expression was slightly flustered, "Allure, Allure." Before she could reach Ye Chengcheng's face, she couldn't help but shout.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tingcheng turned sideways on the horse, watching her rush over from a distance, she rushed very fast, and when she arrived in front of Ye Tingcheng, she hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the horse's four hooves were suddenly retracted, as if it was sliding forward on the ground for a distance before stopping.

"Our mother is in the hands of King Kang!" Ye Miaocheng wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said to Ye Tingcheng urgently.

Just now, King Pingjiang and General Li opened the gate and merged with Ye Tingcheng and Li Zhen, Ye Tingcheng came out to pursue King Kang on behalf of others, and they left the remnants of the remnants near the imperial tomb that were not remembered to run away one by one, and those who surrendered were tied up first, and those who were still stubborn in the corner were corrected on the spot.

Ye Miaocheng saw that her father had been protecting him since he came out of the inner city, so she answered the conversation with King Pingjiang before Ye Tingcheng, and after asking, she was shocked and hurriedly patted her horse out to find Ye Tingcheng.

When Ye Tingcheng heard this, his heart was half cold.

Since beating her and crossing over, she knows better than anyone how Princess Pingjiang treats her.

She is not close to her adoptive parents in modern times, but here, she sincerely regards Princess Pingjiang as her mother and King Pingjiang as her father.

So she has been telling Qin Shao all along, don't be too nice to her, because she is afraid that the bond on her here will become deeper and deeper, and when she is about to leave, she will be the first to be reluctant.

Ye Chengcheng looked around, and when she saw that the people around her were looking at her, she knew that she couldn't mess around now.

"King Kang has nothing to rely on now, the only thing he can rely on is the hostages in his hands." Ye Chengcheng settled down first, and said to Ye Miaocheng, "I don't think he will touch our mother for the time being." After all, mothers are more important hostages. "Hostages like this are generally left behind, Ye Tingcheng said this, but he was still a little scared in his heart.

After all, she is the one who spoiled King Kang's good deeds, and if King Kang wanted to kill people to vent his anger, her mother probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Ye Chengcheng looked at this mountain pass again, thinking about what the chance of forcing it through...... But how she thinks and thinks that forcing this mountain pass is just nonsense.

"Look around the neighborhood and see if there's a way around." Ye Tingcheng said to Fang Da Bing.

Fang Dabing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called Fan Xiaoniu to look for two different directions on both sides of the mountain with him.

"Brother Zhang." Ye Chengcheng said to the Zhang brothers, "You two look here, if there is any change, please report to me at any time." ”

"Yes." The Zhang brothers took the order and hugged their fists.

"Let's go, let's go meet Your Majesty and Father." After Ye Chengcheng arranged the matter, he turned the horse's head and said to Ye Miaocheng.

Although Ye Miaocheng was anxious, she also felt that what Ye Tingcheng said made sense, and sure enough, with Ye Tingcheng here, she could feel at ease.

King An heard in the underground palace that King Pingjiang had sent someone to report that Ye Chengcheng had taken the people of Nandaying to relieve the predicament of the imperial tomb, and now he was leading his men and horses to pursue the remnants of King Kang, and his heart was suddenly like a drum.

Worst!

He felt his scalp explode.

The people he planted in the Nanda camp have been exposed, so it will be a matter of time before he is exposed.

Just when everyone heard the good news and relaxed their moods, when they congratulated each other and said hello to Emperor Zhao, he was busy making a color to the personal guard who was following him, and the guard understood.

The guards suddenly ran into the two imperial guards who were guarding him in front of King An, and King An saw the opportunity, pounced forward, and ran out of the corner.

Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, King An had already cried and threw himself in front of Emperor Zhao, "Father Emperor Mingjian." Erchen and His Royal Highness King Kang have no guaga. He knelt in front of Emperor Zhao, crying heartbreakingly, so that the guards who were originally stunned and wanted to step forward to pull him away looked at each other a little, not knowing what to do, they all looked at Emperor Zhao, wanting to see what his reaction was.

"Well, if you really have nothing to do with him, I won't be angry with you." Emperor Zhao was relieved because he got the good news, just now for so long, although he was calm on the surface, but he was always uneasy in his heart, but as an emperor, even if he was afraid of death at this time, he couldn't show sporadic sporadic on his face.

Emperor Zhao has gone through ups and downs, and now he is in a good mood, so the tone with King An is not so blunt, and there is a bit of joy in it.

"Father!" King An cried and climbed forward two steps, and when he saw that no one came up to stop him, he quickly climbed forward two more steps. "Although Erchen and King Kang are compatriots of the same mother, they don't have much contact on weekdays. Erchen had no idea what he was going to do. ”

"Didn't I say that? If it really has nothing to do with you at this time, I will not be angry with you. Emperor Zhao frowned slightly and said.

"My father's magnanimity is a blessing for me." King An cried while taking two steps forward, "Erchen was just by the wall, but he remembered something, which was about the queen mother." He lifted his face, tears on his face, his voice trembling slightly, but he vividly interpreted the look of horror and helplessness.

It was about the queen, and Emperor Zhao had to listen.

Although the queen has been locked up in the palace by him, the queen has not been abolished, how can I say that she is still the mother of a country.

"What's the matter? Emperor Zhao sank his face and asked sharply.

King Kang and King An are the queen's own sons, and the queen is to let King Kang return to the court, wrote a poem that made him feel a lot of emotion and sent it to him, if he hadn't read that poem, remembered the care and favor that the queen had given him in the past, he would not have handed over the affairs of Concubine Min to King Kang to do, if he hadn't been soft-hearted for a while, it is estimated that the matter of the imperial tomb would not have happened so easily.

From this point of view, if the queen was not used by King Kang, she also knew about it and participated in it.

Emperor Zhao really wanted to know whether the queen was personally involved, so when King An was very close to him, he didn't stop him.

It is a matter of royal dispute, in front of so many people in this underground palace, if King An said something about the queen, he would have a reason to abolish the queen. After the abolition is a major event, if there is no particularly major fault, even if the queen will be placed under house arrest by him, but it will not be abolished, Emperor Zhao does not want future generations to say that he is cold and ungrateful, after all, when he was young, he was taken care of a lot by the queen's mother, and his life, the queen also saved.

Emperor Zhao's heart moved, and he slightly crossed the concubine Hui who was accompanying him with his side, if he abolished the queen and then set up Concubine Hui, then Xiao Yunmo's position would be more stable.

So Emperor Zhao leaned forward slightly, "Say it." ”

King An had already knelt in front of him, and Xiao Yunmo leaned forward to block between him and Emperor Zhao, but was pressed by Emperor Zhao and motioned for him to stand aside.

King An raised his red eyes and looked at Emperor Zhao fixedly.

He is his eldest son! It's a grandfather! He should be the rightful crown prince of this dynasty, he has always been obscure, but he wants to be innocent, but he has no choice but to see Emperor Zhao as an ordinary prince, what he does right or wrong, Emperor Zhao will not evaluate it, there is no praise or blame, it is as if he was not his son. But Xiao Yunmo is different. Since Xiao Yunmo was born, he was raised by Emperor Zhao in front of him.

He once found someone to assassinate Xiao Yunmo because he was angry, but that guy's luck was too good...... King Kang had an accident, Jian'an had an accident, and the queen was imprisoned, he could see that his father had always had only one candidate for the crown prince in his mind, and that was Xiao Yunmo.

Unwillingness, pain, ridicule, almost the moment he looked at Emperor Zhao, everything he had endured and experienced over the years came to his heart, and he silently pulled out the short blade hidden in the wide sleeved robe.

He is King An, if he really wants to bring some weapons in, no one will dare to search him.

King An suddenly had a chill in his eyes, his body suddenly straightened forward, his arms straightened, and the cold light in his hands went straight towards Emperor Zhao.

Xiao Yunmo's eyes were full of brilliance, King An's movements were fast, and he was not slow, he pushed His Royal Highness King An with one hand, and half of his body rushed forward, King An was too close to Emperor Zhao, so although Xiao Yunmo had already touched King An's arm, the dagger still pierced into the flesh strongly.

After a soft pop, Xiao Yunmo knocked down the dagger in his hand with one palm, and Emperor Zhao's left shoulder was stabbed by King An, and blood suddenly gushed out, staining the plain white dragon robe on his body. Concubine Min went out of the funeral, and Emperor Zhao didn't wear the "Tencel Armor", otherwise King An wouldn't have been able to stab him at all.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, Xiao Yunmo hugged his father with his backhand, protected him in his arms, and then slapped him mercilessly, directly knocking King An away.

King An's body arced in the air like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"I ......" An Wangwan spat out a mouthful of blood, and he looked at Emperor Zhao who was stabbed in the shoulder in horror, "Father...... Erchen didn't want to ......" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yunmo threw his sword over, and the sword body sank into King An's chest, and the exposed hilt of the sword was still shaking gently, King An's eyes were red and waiting for Xiao Yunmo, and his hand raised as if to point at him, but halfway up, it hung down weakly, and the person had already swallowed his last breath.

Everyone in the dungeon was stunned by this series of changes, no one dared to step forward, and no one dared to say anything......

Concubine Hui yelled angrily, "What about the imperial doctor! Don't hurry up yet! ”

At this time, the accompanying imperial doctor came back to his senses and ran over with a rolling belt. "Wechen is here."

"Hurry up and show your majesty." Xiao Yunmo swept the imperial doctor over and said in a vicious voice.

"Yes, yes, yes." The imperial doctor didn't dare to slack off, and examined Emperor Zhao's wounds, "It's not good." When the imperial doctor saw that the blood was black, he suddenly felt that the green tendons on his forehead jumped, "If you go back to the prince, the dagger is poisonous!" ”

"Detoxify!" Xiao Yunmo roared angrily.

Emperor Zhao's face was already very ugly, he didn't feel how painful the wound was, he just felt cold.

O his two sons and the queen, they will kill him......

"Yes, yes, yes." The imperial physician nodded hurriedly, opened the medicine box he was carrying, and took out a porcelain bottle from it tremblingly, "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't know what kind of poison Your Majesty is in, so he can only take this universal antidote pill first." "The Imperial Doctor was also anxious, and he didn't know if the antidote pill he was carrying was effective.

"Don't hurry up yet!" Xiao Yunmo urged.

"Mo'er." Emperor Zhao took a slow breath, "Don't worry. He smiled at Xiao Yunmo, or was he intimate with Concubine Hui's son......

"Father...... Don't talk anymore, it hurts to speak. The corners of Xiao Yunmo's eyes were red, and he obviously looked like he was about to cry out, which was similar to the ruthlessness he had just made when he killed someone. This made Emperor Zhao's heart even more comforting, "Don't be afraid. He smiled and patted the back of Xiao Yunmo's hand, "People always die." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the underground palace knelt down.

King Pingjiang and General Li saw that the situation outside had been decided, and handed over the next search for rebels to Li Zhen, the two of them entered the underground palace hand in hand to invite Emperor Zhao out, where they knew that as soon as they came in, they saw a group of people kneeling in the main hall of the underground palace, and Emperor Zhao was covered in blood and was held in Xiao Yunmo's arms, Concubine Hui was kneeling on the side and was already crying, and the other palace concubines and princesses all lowered their heads one by one, and none of them dared to give out the slightest breath, and King An's body was in the corner, stared in the direction of Emperor Zhao without blinking.

King Pingjiang and General Li were shocked, they had been fighting the enemy outside, and they didn't know what happened in the underground palace, so they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty!" The two of them kowtowed to Emperor Zhao.

"The two Aiqing are back?" Emperor Zhao's voice was much weaker, but there was a smile on his face, "The situation outside has been decided?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the situation has been decided." King Pingjiang and General Li didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly kowtowed and said. "Your Majesty, what are you ......?" asked King Pingjiang tentatively.

"Qiulin, far away." Emperor Zhao said calmly, "If I can't get through this hurdle, you must assist Mo'er like assisting me." ”

Before Emperor Zhao's words fell, everyone in the underground palace erupted into a burst of crying, some were true, some were fake, and Emperor Zhao couldn't help frowning, "I'm not dead yet, don't cry now!" ”

"Shut up!" Xiao Yunmo roared.

There was a sudden silence in the main hall.

The imperial doctor was already sweating, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to draw a knife for Your Majesty, and please hold back Your Majesty." "He can't stop complaining in his heart, can't Your Majesty say a few words?" Your Majesty is blessed with all the blessings, and it will be fine. ”

"Yes, Father, you will be safe and sound." Xiao Yunmo held Emperor Zhao's hand and said with tears in his eyes.

"You're a good boy." Emperor Zhao looked at Xiao Yunmo and smiled, "If there is anything wrong with me, I will leave the country to you, I am very relieved." ”

"Your Majesty, you just don't say a word." Concubine Hui wiped her tears and said, "Let the Imperial Doctor offer you treatment." ”

Emperor Zhao nodded.

Everyone helped Emperor Zhao to lie down, the imperial doctor pulled out the knife, and the blood spurted out, Emperor Zhao screamed, and almost fainted.

Fortunately, he is in good health on weekdays, otherwise he really can't stand the pain at this moment.

While the imperial doctor was treating Emperor Zhao, someone outside the underground palace came to report, "Tell the emperor, His Royal Highness the prince, and Princess Luocheng ask to see you." ”

"Let her in." Emperor Zhao said gently. "I and all of you were able to turn evil into good fortune this time, and Princess Los Angeles has a lot of credit."

"Father, you better rest more." Xiao Yunmo said in a low voice.

He looked at the Imperial Doctor, "How's the wound?" Is it possible to remove the poison? ”

The Imperial Doctor was shocked, and after examining the wound, he was a little relieved, "Back to Your Highness, I didn't hurt the big meridians and blood vessels, if it wasn't for the poison on the dagger, Your Majesty's injury would have been fine." ”

The implication of his words, what His Majesty wants now, can only depend on whether this poison can be solved or not.

"This poisonous blood is released." The imperial physician continued, "The antidote pill has also been taken by His Majesty, as for whether it can be treated, we can only observe it for a period of time and then see, and ask Your Highness to give this dagger to Wei Chen, so that Wei Chen can quickly study the toxin on it with other imperial doctors." ”

When Ye Chengcheng entered the underground palace, he saw that the underground palace was strange.

Emperor Zhao was injured, she was stunned at first, and then she didn't know whether she should step forward or not.

"Why don't you hurry up and salute?" King Pingjiang hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and when he saw that she was looking at Emperor Zhao in a daze as soon as she came back, he couldn't help but remind him in a whisper.

"The courtiers have seen the emperor's uncle." Ye Chengcheng hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Let's be flat." Emperor Zhao looked at Ye Tingcheng and said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's find a comfortable place to settle down Your Majesty first, Your Majesty's current situation is not suitable for tiring travel." After bandaging the wound, the imperial physician said to Xiao Yunmo, "Wei Chen, let's go and work with the other imperial physicians to develop an antidote as soon as possible." Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help ask what kind of poison this is. ”

"Okay, you go quickly." Xiao Yunmo handed over the dagger that he had knocked to the ground to the imperial doctor. The Imperial Physician hurried away with a dagger.

The situation outside has now stabilized, everyone carried the injured Emperor Zhao out of the underground palace, and reappeared in the day, only to find that the palace of the imperial tomb has been full of devastation, and all kinds of corpses can be seen everywhere.

Blood marks, broken arrows, and stumps are everywhere, and there are many injured people who can't stop moaning and wailing.

Everyone cleaned up a side hall as quickly as possible, and placed Emperor Zhao in it, accompanied by Concubine Hui.

Ye Chengcheng followed and waited outside the side hall with everyone.

At this time, the night was already waiting for it to fall quietly.

Someone came over and lit the lights and candles in the palace, which made the lifeless Imperial Tomb Palace have a little bit of life to come out.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you." A eunuch who was waiting in the side hall ran out and came to Ye Tingcheng and said.

Ye Chengcheng followed the eunuch into the side hall.

Emperor Zhao's face was still not good, and when he saw Ye Tingcheng coming in, he smiled a little weakly.

Xiao Yunmo stood beside Emperor Zhao's bed, and his eyes fell on Ye Tingcheng's body.
