Seeing that the blue sky in the early morning was gradually fading, the chamberlain hurriedly reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's almost the time of the last dynasty." ”

The emperor let out a faint "um", as if he didn't see the appearance of individual courtiers who were scared to the point of urine, and strode towards the outside of the hall, and when he passed by the corpses of the four princes, there was almost no pause.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, quickly hold your breath and carry the hem of your robe, avoid the messy table in the hall, and carefully follow with a few cups and cups.

Only Xu Xiang, Scholar Yang, and Chen Yushi can still be calm as usual.

And Wei Shicheng didn't even move his eyebrows from beginning to end.

Wei Baozhu is the concubine of the four princes, this relationship is not light, not heavy, not far and not close, and it must be difficult to change a person.

Li Qingyi had been paying attention to Wei Shicheng's actions, but he couldn't see anything.

Waiting for the emperor and the ministers to leave, the queen glanced at Mu Guifei, who was drenched in cold sweat and almost collapsed, no, Mu Cairen, and lightly instructed the palace people: "Send Mu Cairen to the Qingliang Palace, strictly guard, and don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes, Queen."

Mu Cairen didn't even have the strength to stand, he was almost speechless, and was dragged away.

Queen Wang walked in front of Li Qingyi, "Thanks to you, you saved the life of this palace, otherwise, if Mu Guifei does not die today, this palace will be damaged by the hands of traitors." ”

Li Qingyi hurriedly curtsied, "The courtiers are also very afraid, the queen is the mother of the world, if you have anything bad, the courtiers will be uneasy for the rest of their lives." ”

Queen Wang was accustomed to listening to the scene, and seeing that what she said was sincere, her heart was very comfortable, "Good boy, we are a family, we are not in a hurry to get close, and when the current matter is over, we will talk again." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Sending the queen away, Li Qingyi met Qin Zeng's gaze.

Qin Zeng walked up to her and said, "You go back to the Li Mansion first, and when I finish dealing with the affairs in the palace, I will go to you." ”

Li Qingyi knew that Qin Zeng must have a lot of things to do at this time, so he nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about me, just go and get busy." ”

The two separated, Li Qingyi walked out of the palace gate, and when he looked back and saw the body of the fourth prince being carried out, he inevitably sighed in his heart.

Wolan muttered, "That's it...... The slave maid also thought that the four princes could call the wind and rain and stir up monstrous waves. ”

Chang Yan disdainfully, "You said that it was the fourth prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, right?" ”

Xiang Lan glanced at her speechlessly, "No matter what, it's always on the edge of killing the king and plotting rebellion, so quietly ......"

Chang Yan raised his eyebrows, "Of course, that's because we adults plan ahead and are well-arranged!" Of course, the credit of our girls is also indispensable! ”

Li Qingyi smiled slightly when he heard this: "Wei Baozhu has helped me a lot. ”

*****

The Four Princes' Mansion.

Song Linlang just learned the news that the fourth prince was killed in the palace!

She stood in the middle of the room with a pale face, unable to move her legs as if they were filled with lead.

Concubine Mu confused the royal bloodline, exchanged babies with Mrs. Mu, and became the prince!

How can it be?

How is this possible?

"No, I don't believe it...... It can't be ......"

Song Linlang kept repeating these words, almost collapsing.

However, the Prince's Mansion has been surrounded by forbidden troops, which shows that all this is true.

At this time, a voice rang in her ears, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Song Linlang raised her head.

I saw Concubine Wei Baozhu enter the house and walked towards her slowly. The silver lines between the plain white skirts, with her movements, seem to be a layer of silver light slowly floating, which is very flattering to her slender steps.

Song Linlang's emotions that had nowhere to vent suddenly found an outlet, "It's all this time, are you still in the mood to dress up?" ”

Wei Baozhu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Concubine doesn't know, at this time, when is it?" ”

Song Linlang looked at him puzzled, "The Fourth Highness is in a different place, you and I are her pillow people!" Ann can escape! You can still be so easy, are you stupid? ”

At this time, Song Linlang also forgot about making things difficult for Wei Baozhu in every way on weekdays, and only felt that the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same rope, and they should be in the same boat.

Wei Baozhu snorted and laughed, "Fourth Highness? Where did our Fourth Highness come from? ”

Song Linlang was so angry that her face was purple, "Wei Baozhu!" What kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me! You are crazy? Isn't the Fourth Highness your husband? ”

"Oh?" Wei Baozhu smiled when he heard this, "That's not what the princess said before. ”

Song Linlang's complexion changed slightly.

Previously, she was angry about Wei Baozhu's use of means to enter the prince's mansion, and often used this matter to show Wei Baozhu's face, saying that Wei Baozhu's concubine is no different from a cheap maid, and she is the only person in this world who can be called husband and wife with the four princes.

"Now is not the time to worry about this!"

Wei Baozhu looked at her in surprise: "What is that time to care?" Isn't it time for the walls to fall down and the trees to fall apart? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, the imposter is dead, you should bury him."

"You...... What are you doing? ”

Song Linlang subconsciously wanted to leave this room, but was dragged by Wei Baozhu.

Song Linlang struggled desperately, but was kicked on the calf by Wei Baozhu!

The pain in the heart came, and Song Linlang knelt unsteadily at Wei Baozhu's feet!

Wei Baozhu chuckled, "Such a big gift, it's really useful." ”

Song Linlang gritted her teeth and wanted to get up immediately, but Wei Baozhu took out a dagger and rested it on her neck.

Song Linlang's eyes widened and she subconsciously called out, but there was no movement outside the door, and even her personal maid was nowhere to be found.

Wei Baozhu looked at her with a smile, "Don't move, the sword has no eyes." ”

Song Linlang said in a trembling voice: "Wei Baozhu, what are you going to do?" I am the daughter of an English duke, and if you do it to me, my father will kill you!" ”

"Huh." Wei Baozhu sneered: "The four princes are a major crime of rebellion, and the British public and private help the four princes, do you think the British government can get rid of it?" Today, the Mu family is copied, and the Four Princes' Mansion will no longer exist, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, it will be your family's turn. ”

Song Linlang's face turned pale, "Even so, can you escape?" He came to me and said cool things! ”

Wei Baozhu sneered a few times, "I don't have to worry about my life, you just need to know that you have fallen into my hands......"

When the words fell, the dagger in her hand slashed hard, cutting Song Linlang's tendons.

Song Linlang screamed sharply and rolled on the ground in pain.

Wei Baozhu sneered, grabbed Song Linlang's hair, and dragged her into the inner room with force......

*****

Li Qingyi returned to the Li Mansion and found that the county lord of Rongling was also there, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was pale.

After Li Qingyi asked, he learned that the second uncle followed the Marquis of Yongping to leave Beijing last night, and at this time, I am afraid that he has already followed the rapid march for 1,800 miles.

And Song Yang, the troublemaker who made heaven and earth, also secretly followed.

The county lord of Rongling was worried about this matter at this time.

Li Qingyi asked Ruan, "Second uncle...... Are you going to Huangshaling? ”

Huangshaling is the place where the Mu family's father and son are stationed.

The identities of the four princes were revealed, the Mu family was copied, and the Four Princes' Mansion ceased to exist, Mu Rencheng learned the news, and he would definitely make a difference.

Although the emperor has already made arrangements, he still needs someone to support him.

The second uncle and the Marquis of Yongping are both literary and martial, they can not only lead the troops to fight but also have someone to appease the people's hearts, and it is not surprising that the emperor arranged for them to go.

Ruan Shi was obviously also very worried, but he still pressed down and asked Li Qingyi about the situation in the palace first, "Last night, someone from the Yongping Marquis Mansion came to pick up your second uncle, and Qin Zeng sent someone to protect our mother-in-law, so I only knew what happened." ”

The husband left Beijing for Huangshaling, Li Qingyi was also in the palace, Ruan was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and now seeing her come back safely, his heart finally fell back to half of his stomach.

Li Qingyi told him a rough story about what happened in the palace last night, and the Ruan family and the county lord of Rongling glanced at each other, their faces were complicated, and they could only hope that their husband's affairs would go well.

The dispute between the crown princes of the past dynasties must have stirred up a bloody storm, but the Mu family and the four princes seemed to be just a dark cloud that suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and the emperor blew lightly, and it disappeared without setting off half a wave.

The Mu family's raid was carried out in an orderly manner, and there was not even a little splash, which showed that Qin Zeng was well arranged, and did not give the Mu family a chance to breathe.

The only thing that everyone is concerned about now is the 100,000 army under the command of Mu Rencheng.

In private, this 100,000-strong army is called the "Mu Family Army", which is enough to show that General Mu and Mu Rencheng, father and son, have spent their efforts on winning people's hearts for many years.

If these 100,000 troops rebel, the Huangshaling area will be wide open, giving Chongnan an opportunity.

The Chongnan soldiers, who have been fattened by Dajing's grain and salary for many years, are afraid that they will invade and take many cities in Dajing in one fell swoop.

However, the city gate had been blocked in advance last night to ensure that not a single fly wanted to fly out, and took a step back and said, even if the Mu family was alert in advance and sent the news out, it would take five days to send it to Mu Rencheng in an expedited eight hundred miles.

And the manpower sent by Qin Zeng had already penetrated deep into the Mu family's army.

*****

Huangsha Ridge.

In the scorching summer, the trees and vegetation in Huangshaguan are scarce, and it is several times hotter than other places in Dajing, and the scorching breath envelops the entire city, which makes people miss the coolness of the spring and autumn seasons before.

The city gate guard stood on the city wall, built a pergola with his hand and looked into the distance, and casually chatted with the soldiers on the side, "Lao Li, there have been a lot of gossip in the camp in the past two days, have you heard of it?" ”

The man known as Lao Li was only in his thirties, and said in a low voice: "Why haven't you heard that there has been a lot of trouble in the past two days, which has made me panic!" ”

"I don't know who started it? What the hell is going on? Does the imperial court really allocate enough food and salary to us every year? ”

Lao Li looked around and whispered: "Lu Fengshou's nephew also joined the army, and he followed the escort of grain and grass last year, saying that the food and salary allocated by the imperial court were very sufficient, and it was not like what was written in the letter sent home by Lu Fengshou...... said that when the grain and grass were handed over to the Mu family army in Luxian County, he kept watching it, and there was absolutely no shortage of catties or two......"
