Chapter 313: Releasing the Imprisoned Dragon at Night
"Someone, there are assassins, there are assassins, protect the emperor,"
In the middle of the night, the Yaoguo Palace suddenly sounded a piercing scream, and soon the nearby palace buildings lit up one after another, the palace maids and eunuchs shrank in their respective rooms, and the guards hurriedly dispatched to quickly surround the Ziyun Palace.
"Grandpa Tao, what's going on." The chief guard on duty frowned and asked urgently.
"Just now, I saw someone holding a knife, flashing over there," Gonggong Tao's face was pale and frightened, patting his chest and crying, "Your Majesty, the emperor is still inside,"
The chief guard gasped, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "This ...... The emperor had previously instructed that no idlers were allowed to step into the dormitory no matter what happened, and the lower officials did not dare to disobey the order, so they still asked Gonggong Tao to go in first and ask. ”
Gonggong Tao swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a long time before saying helplessly: "That'...... I'll take a trip. Don't get too far away from me,"
The dormitory was silent, and Gonggong Tao slowly approached with small steps, and a dozen steps behind him were guards who were extremely vigilant with swords in their hands. It wasn't until Gonggong Tao knocked lightly on the door that the voice of Emperor Yao came from inside: "I am asleep, what's the matter." ”
"Back to the emperor, just now the slave saw a suspicious figure coming here, worried about the emperor's safety......"
"I didn't see any suspicious people, so you all dispersed." Emperor Yao's tone was a little weak, and the head of the guard hesitated for a moment or retreated, not daring to ask more questions.
Seeing that the guards were all evacuated, Gonggong Tao said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's almost time to add lamp oil, be careful to get up at night and not see clearly." ”
The hall was silent for a long time.
"Come in." For a long time, there was still no strength to respond.
Gonggong Tao hurriedly pushed open the door of the temple and walked in, and asked again in front of the door of the inner hall before opening the door, but the moment he opened a gap, a black shadow quickly rushed into the house, and then there was the sound of things turning over and fighting.
The inner hall is only lit with everlasting lights, and the range of illumination of the bean-sized lamp is limited, and the old man Tao Gonggong's eyes are dizzy and he can't see who the figures flying around are, but he only knows that there is definitely not only the black shadow that has just broken in. Turning around and looking at the courtyard, the guards were long gone, and Gonggong Tao straightened up and hid behind the door, changing his panicked state just now, and it seemed that he was not frightened at all.
After a short while, there was the sound of the wooden windows breaking in the inner sanctum, and then there was no sound.
"It's all right." Tao Gonggong asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Well, ran one." The candle lamp on the desk was lit, and a young man dressed in black at night put away the fire fold and respectfully saluted the couch, "The war court is late for rescue, please forgive the emperor and the queen." ”
No one responded.
Gonggong Tao remembered that when he came in during the day, he saw that the queen was full of energy, why didn't he speak at this time. Puzzled, he walked closer, couldn't help sighing, and looked at the battle court helplessly: "You can't untie the rope first." What a ......."
"Ahh Oh. Zhan Ting scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly helped Gonggong Tao untie the rope on the queen's body. Zhan Ting's face was red when he tore off the cloth blocked in the queen's mouth, and he was so angry that Gonggong Tao couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder people said that the prince's guard was a fool, patronizing the crime ceremony, and not looking at the queen's mouth with something blocked, it was dull enough.
The queen, who was free from the shackles, didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them, turned over and knelt down to Emperor Yao's side, and her tone trembled slightly: "Huaiyu." Huaiyu. Can you hear me? I can hear you give me a reaction,"
Emperor Yao's complexion was extremely poor, so thin that only a handful of bones remained, the two eyes on his bloodless face were closed, and his eyes rolled in it, and it took a long time to open a gap slightly, and there was a grunt in his throat.
"Tu'er ......"
"Yes, it's me," the queen let out a long sigh, wiped the red circles under her eyes, and turned her head to order in a deep voice, "Tao Shihai, go and call all the guards back, and then go to the imperial doctor." The general is not waiting for news. Contact him as soon as possible and send more people to protect Ziyun Palace,"
"The slave understands," Gonggong Tao turned around and hurried away, but in a moment, the guards who were tossed back and forth returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, and the imperial doctor also trotted over.
After the safety was guaranteed, the queen left the side of Emperor Yao, looked around, and found that the corpse of the mysterious person in the corner sighed for a long time, and turned her head to look at the battle court: "Fortunately, you killed him, this person knows witchcraft, it is he who used witchcraft to control the emperor to cause so many incidents, in case he is given the opportunity to make waves again, I don't know what the emperor will suffer." It's a pity that the other person escaped, otherwise he would have been able to ask more questions. ”
"I didn't kill this man." Zhan Ting shook his head honestly, "I wanted to spare his life so that I could question, but when the other person found out that he was injured and couldn't escape, he killed him, which is really vicious." ”
"Where is this, the person who designed this play is a hundred times more vicious." The queen's cold eyes sank, and her fists clenched silently.
Emperor Yao is very sick, and his heart hurts even more.
The son who has devoted half his life to love is the mastermind behind all these conspiracy, and even wants to kill his father and kill the king.
The occasional Suiliang, who had carefully planned this "night attack", was waiting in the prince's east palace, and after getting the news, he hurried quickly, and saw that the imperial doctors were busy diagnosing the pulse of the emperor and treating the external injuries and walked towards the queen, and his gray and white eyebrows were almost twisted together: "The queen mother is injured." ”
"It's okay, they're polite to the main palace." The queen waved her hand and motioned for the war court to go down first, and led Sui Liang to the outer hall, and the melancholy on her face finally couldn't be hidden, "Sui Liang, Huai Yu is in a very bad situation, I'm really afraid of ......"
The queen who was still arrogant one moment ago, but the next moment she recovered her weak side of a woman, and occasionally smiled bitterly: "You two, you two are obviously very concerned about each other and pretend not to care, if you can confess to each other earlier, why would it be like this." Fortunately, there is no danger this time, otherwise I think you will regret it for a long time. ”
"Okay, it's not that you don't know about me and Huaiyu, who is the one who can pull down the face. If it weren't for the critical situation this time, I wouldn't have bothered to come to see him. The queen's expression froze, and she turned away in a negative mood.
This kind of situation is not uncommon when I am young, and I am half emotional and half nostalgic, I want to talk about the past but I don't want to ruin the identity of the monarch and minister, so I shook my head when the words came to my mouth.
After being silent for a while, the queen's mood gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but feel afraid of everything that happened in her mind: "Fortunately, you came up with this method of pretending to be an assassin to break in, otherwise with the vigilance of those two, people will never be easily approached, and fortunately, the person who came is the battle court, and I am afraid that any other guard is not the man's opponent, by the way, I have seen that man, he is the guard of the princess of the Langhoi of the Rouhu Kingdom, and it seems that the relationship between the Rouhu Kingdom and the five princes is difficult to get rid of." ”
Princess Swinghoof...... This is how much dissatisfaction there is with Princess Rouhu. Even Suiliang wanted to laugh very much, but he barely suppressed it when he saw the queen's serious face, and immediately became equally serious when he heard her mention the five princes.
"This matter was instigated by the five princes behind their backs. Are you sure. ”
"How else to be sure. On the day I was first imprisoned, he showed up, and his attitude was not bad, but he also spoke wildly, which was very different from the usual elegant image. The queen let out a long sigh, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to the inner hall, "After that, Huaiyu's spirit was much worse, and he must have been very sad in his heart." I really don't understand what that kid thinks, since he was a child, Huaiyu hurt him the most, why did he do this. Jing'er is his younger brother, will he force his father and brother to death before he will give up? ,”
Even Sui Liang didn't answer, or couldn't answer, just looked at the queen with meaningful eyes, and asked lightly: "You always call the seventh prince Jing'er, but rarely call the name of the fifth prince." ”
The seemingly unrelated question made the queen stunned, and her face turned pale for a while.
"General, the emperor has summoned you in." The imperial physician walked over and whispered, then turned to the queen, "The emperor also said that if the queen mother doesn't leave, come with you." ”
The person who once said that the old and the dead do not get along with each other now take the initiative to call her? This is the first time in history. The Empress and Lian Suiliang glanced at each other, the latter nodded slightly, and the Empress, who had been encouraged, took a deep breath and puffed up her chest, and followed the Imperial Doctor into the inner hall.
On the bed, the eyes of the remote emperor who described the withered were half-open, his fingers moved, and his voice was hoarse and weak: "Tu'er......"
"I'm here." The queen sat on the edge of the bed and answered softly, holding the palm of the emperor tightly with both hands.
The last time the palms touched was more than ten years ago before the age of aging, and now things are not people, but this temperature has never changed.
Emperor Yao did not continue to say some tender words, but this was enough, and just an affectionate title made the queen sit quietly beside her, holding hands, and no one wanted to let go.
"Sui Liang, don't worry about arresting people first...... You hurry, hurry up and find Jing'er......" Emperor Yao, who came to his senses, was weak, and he had to take a few breaths when he said a word, and his two eyes stared at Lian Suiliang with great effort, "Xuan'er's holy decree, he wants, wants to force Bai Haocheng to death,"
The queen's hand shook and her mouth opened in disbelief: "This madman, madman, does he want to force the Bai family to rebel." ,”
"Rebellion is secondary, the fifth prince wants to force the prince and the white girl to turn against each other......" Sui Liang's eyes sank, and he suddenly asked Emperor Yao, "There are no outsiders now, the emperor said something from his heart, do you still have the intention of letting the white girl leave the prince." ”
Emperor Yao shook his head vigorously, hooked his fingers, and the queen leaned down to his lips.
"I ...... Shouldn't...... Guarding against your ......"
Thirty years of married couples, most of their time spent on mutual suspicion and vindictiveness, so that the dying old party can hold hands again, and there are not many years left to continue to stay together. The queen was silent for a long time, let go of her hand to tuck the quilt for Emperor Yao, and then looked at the occasional Suiliang, her eyes were calm and firm.
"Suiliang, I'll take care of you here, you go to Zhaoguo to see if you can't stop it, if the fifth prince is also there......" Glancing back at Emperor Yao, the queen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Jing'er is something you grew up watching, how to choose, you know it in your heart." ”
