At the west gate of the imperial city, Wang Yijing was responsible for leading more than a dozen black-clothed people composed of secret guards and Jianghu people, his skills were not the highest among them, but he was arranged by Liu Baoqing for such an important task, although he did not know the other party's intentions, but he also fulfilled his duties wholeheartedly.

More than a dozen people rushed into Cining Palace, like several other palaces, there was no one inside, Wang Yijing reacted very quickly, and commanded in a deep voice:

"I've been tricked, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of a bow and arrow sounded outside the house, the young man's face changed, and he was just about to speak, when a sound of breaking the air sounded, and the first few people who rushed out of the door were instantly shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

The remaining man in black hurriedly closed the gate and couldn't come out, Wang Yijing squatted behind a pillar, pulled down his mask and sighed, looking at this situation, tonight's action is a leak.

……

To the east, Xu Ju commanded in a loud voice:

"The Queen Mother has an order, seize the main envoy, and the rest of the people will correct the law on the spot."

After speaking, he took the lead in riding his horse and rushed to the enemy position, and smashed his brother with a big gun on his head and face, sparing no effort.

To the south, the situation was even more tragic, two hundred soldiers did not have the slightest strength to fight back under the impact of the rain of arrows, and lost most of them as soon as they saw the face, and the archers advanced in an orderly manner, and soon captured the remaining ten or so people.

On the north side, two thousand Jinghu guards appeared in front of Liu Baoqing, and there were also Ouchi guards who were supposed to sleep at home, and their momentum alone far surpassed them.

At the time of crisis, the young scholar was more calm than the soldiers around him, and with a wave of the folding fan in his hand, the hundred-person team immediately opened the stance.

The people who came to arrest them did not move for a long time, and out of them came a horseback general, who was Xie Xu, the commander of the forbidden army, who was originally a capable general under the king of Wu, and was left in the capital by the queen mother Liu Pheasant after the king of Wu went to the southwest to take up the domain.

There are rumors in the outside world that the reason why he will change the court is because he has already been on the queen mother's phoenix bed, whether this matter is true or not, he really only listens to the queen mother's dispatch, and Liu Pheasant also trusts this handsome commander who is not like a military general.

……

Xie Xu drove forward immediately, hugged his fist at Liu Baoqing and said:

"Second son, the Queen Mother asked you to go to Ningshou Palace."

"What about the rest?"

"The Queen Mother has an order, except for the main culprit, everyone else will be punished on the spot."

The middle-aged man's tone was flat, as if it was not his subordinates who were about to be killed.

When Liu Baoqing saw the soldiers and horses that appeared out of thin air at the north gate, he had already guessed that the Queen Mother was not in any of the four palaces, he looked at the soldiers around him who were taken to a dead end, and said:

"Can you not kill them first, and then deal with them after I see the Queen Mother?"

"The second son of Liu is difficult to protect himself, so don't worry about others, it's the first time to see the queen mother so angry."

Xie Xu's voice was cold, and he himself was holding back the fire in his belly, although Xu Xin was dealt with by Xu Ju, but the four hundred guards guarding the gate were his subordinates after all, if there was still a woman's benevolent intention to protect it, I was afraid that they would be planted together.

……

Liu Baoqing sighed, and was escorted to Ningshou Palace by two internal guards, and as soon as he walked with his front foot, there was a scream behind him, and the man couldn't bear to turn back and quickened his pace.

On the way to Ningshou Palace, there are heavy guards at the intersections along the way, and Ningshou Palace is surrounded by groups, and even more mosquitoes can't be put in.

When the guard saw Liu Baoqing, he stepped forward to search carefully, and after making sure that he was not carrying a sharp weapon, he was still not at ease, and put a chain on it, the man enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time since his next life, and he had already prepared in his heart, and entered the palace gate with a calm face.

The queen mother of a powerful country does not look old, on the contrary, because of proper maintenance, her face looks even more delicate than the palace maid next to her, and it is no wonder that the rumors about this half-old inside and outside the palace have never stopped.

Usually Liu Pheasant had already slept at this time, but tonight her nephew and son teamed up to deal with her, making her toss and turn, since the first emperor intended to abolish the queen for a foreign woman, she still felt that she was not a person inside and outside for the first time.

The woman sat at the table, looked at the most outstanding junior of the Liu family, and said in a calm tone:

"Good nephew, you want to kill your aunt?"

"Go back to my aunt, my nephew doesn't dare."

"Then what is the intention of bringing so many people into the palace tonight?"

"My nephew wants my aunt to return to your majesty."

"Good one."

The woman finally stood up, her tone still calm, but her hands could not stop shaking.

"It's just that the minister of the DPRK and China said so, and even you can't believe the mourning family? Your Majesty is young, what's wrong with being a mother taking care of the country for him, if he really has this ability, how can he end up tonight? ”

Liu Pheasant's tone was excited, and the phoenix crown on her head trembled, seeing that the other party had been bowing her head and not speaking, she took a deep breath, sat down again and closed her eyes and said:

"The mourning family has a child, conceived in October and gave birth to him, since he was a child, he was a treasure, he was afraid of falling in his hand and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, but he dared to send someone to force the palace. In a few years, when the mourning family is old, will it be necessary to follow the example of the people and seal the mourning family into the tomb? ”

"Back to my aunt, Your Majesty is filial, I will never have this idea, this time, he also told him many times, don't hurt my aunt."

Liu Baoqing's eyes were serious, he knew his aunt's personality best, if she really felt that the emperor was unfilial, it was really possible to abolish the old and establish the new, or no longer cover it up, and directly follow the female emperor Wanyue to reign in the world.

……

Liu Pheasant raised his eyes to stare at the young man, and after a moment, sighed again:

"Your words are the same as what Qi'er said."

"Auntie has seen Your Majesty?" The man's face was slightly surprised.

"Your Majesty is still young and can't see blood, and he has just returned to the palace to rest."

The Queen Mother's tone was not wavering, she took a sip of the decoction on the table, and then stretched out her index finger and touched her cheek, and ordered:

"Tell Xie Xu that the battle is quick and the party is just a mess, and the mourning family doesn't have so much time to wait for him to report the results."

"Whoa."

The old eunuch next to him answered, and walked out quickly.

Liu Baoqing frowned, it seems that this time he has done more, that His Majesty doesn't need his help to speak at all, he will choose Mingzhe to protect himself, these chess pieces have all become outcasts in the struggle for imperial power in the end.

The woman drank a whole bowl of decoction, wiped her mouth, and said:

"The Liu family has a good seedling, it's a pity."

After that, he stood up with the support of the palace maid.

Tonight's farce has settled, she doesn't have the leisure to watch how five hundred cheap lives are cut off their heads, stay a moment longer, and get up tomorrow morning with an extra fine line on the corner of her eye.

Liu Baoqing didn't care whether the other party would kill him, he always frowned, as if he was confused:

"No, that's not what the history books say."

As soon as the words fell, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded outside the house: "Old Lady Ji, it's time to return the world to the Wang family." ”

Liu Pheasant's face changed when he heard this, "What's the matter, what is Xie Xu eating?" ”

The door was slammed open, and an object fell heavily to the ground, it was Xie Xu, the commander of the forbidden army just mentioned.

Liu Baoqing was also shocked, and after a long time, he showed joy and muttered: "It's all right." ”
