28 I didn't go to my heart
The sky is white, and the soft and warm light of the morning sun rises from the east. The clouds are orange-red and cover the eastern sky.
"You take someone to find a way to enter the palace, and you must protect Your Majesty and the crown prince."
"Little master, what are your plans?" Lao Wu knew that he shouldn't ask, he just had to carry out the order. But this is the child he watched grow up, and when life and death were at stake, his heart was not exempt from vulgarity.
Yun Zhao didn't blame him for his arrogance, she smiled slightly and said, "Capture the thief and capture the king." ”
The fifth man arched his hand and turned to leave.
"Fifth uncle!" Yun Zhao called him, and he turned around again.
"Be careful."
Lao Wu looked at her with emotion and bowed deeply: "Little master, take care." ”
They were separated in the Hou Mansion. Yun Zhao took off his cloak and neatly climbed over the wall and walked out of the Hou Mansion. The streets are full of thieves, and every house is closed, but it seems silent.
She carefully avoided the enemy troops, heading west from Suzaku Street and skirting Triangle Street to the south. The East Palace is at the end of the road, and looking north is the Nanhua Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Yun Zhao stood at the gate of the East Palace, and the soldiers guarding the door immediately rushed up and pointed their spears at her.
"What people!"
"Ronglai Hou Yunzhao, please see His Royal Highness King Huai'an."
The king of Huai'an sat on the throne of the crown prince, wearing armor, his sword resting on the table, and his helmet beside him. Seeing Yun Zhao come in, he showed a somewhat indifferent sneer.
Yun Zhao's hasty arching of his hand is counted as a courtesy. King Huai'an didn't care.
"You're coming quickly."
"If you are one step late, won't you have no chance to join forces with the prince."
King Huai'an frowned and stared at her: "What do you mean?" ”
"What the prince means, I mean." Yun Zhao smiled.
"This king knows that you have a good relationship with Lao Ba, and in order to marry you, he did not hesitate to risk his life to go to the east to investigate the corruption case, and almost died there."
Yun Zhao's face was silent, and he was shocked in his heart: he went to investigate the corruption case in order to marry her? How is this possible!
King Huai'an sneered: "It seems that the eighth child is self-inflicted." ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "I think so." ”
"You're such a heartless woman."
"The prince and I are each other, so we can be friends, aren't we?"
King Huai'an laughed, he stood up, and stared at her with eagle-like eyes: "This king has a heavy army, and it will only take a day or two to break through the palace, what can you help this king?" ”
"Lord Wang, you do have heavy troops, and the breakthrough of the imperial city is just around the corner. But without His Majesty's edict, you are a usurper, and your name is not right, and all military horses can raise troops to serve the king, and you can resist the army of the four realms with the strength in your hands? ”
King Huai'an frowned, Yun Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can help the prince get the edict, and when the prince ascends the throne, I want a position above ten thousand people under one person." ”
He walked up to Yun Zhao and looked at her face. This face has long since receded from immaturity, and it has been slightly tanned by the sun, and it is not as delicate as the skin of the nobles in the capital. She was far from the little girl in her memory.
"You're ambitious."
"Without ambition, what is the prince doing here?" She laughed wildly.
"How are you going to get the edict?"
"Holding Your Majesty hostage, what else can the prince not get?" She smiled, "If the prince lets me into the palace, I will definitely satisfy the prince." ”
King Huai'an also smiled: "This king has a better way." ”
Yun Zhao was escorted to the front of the battle, with hemp rope tied to his body. The king of Huai'an was on horseback, right behind her. He raised his head to the city wall and shouted, "Call Ji Xingyan, in a few moments at night, his beloved woman will be killed alive by this king." ”
After a while, Ji Xingyan appeared on the top of the Miyagi Tower.
He was obviously very angry, and half of his body leaned out, not caring about his own safety at all: "Ji Yuxi, you let her go!" ”
"Why are you talking to me about terms?" King Huai'an sneered, turned over and dismounted. He pinched Yun Zhao's face with a disgusting expression, "She's in my hands, and you're all in my hands." ”
Yun Zhao twisted his head and glared at him angrily. King Huai'an smiled: "You don't know how tempting your eyes are." ”
Sick. Yun Zhao scolded secretly and gave him a blank look.
"How? Ji Xing said, let's make a deal. I let her go, and you hand over the edict of the Zen position. ”
King Huai'an's eyes were teasing, and when he saw Ji Xingyan pursing his lips and saying nothing, he laughed: "It seems that it's just like that, she can't compete with that position in your heart!" ”
Yun Zhao lowered his head and bit his tiger mouth fiercely. King Huai'an was caught off guard and screamed in pain. Pulling out his hand, there was a row of bloody tooth marks on the tiger's mouth. He shook his hand and slapped Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao was beaten to the side. He also angrily cursed: "Slut! He raised his hand to pull her.
Yun Zhao's feet moved, turned around and the hemp rope fell to the ground, she raised her hand and pinched the wrist of the King of Huai'an, and folded it fiercely.
She quickly pulled out the sword at his waist, pressed it against his neck, and coldly greeted Wan Jun: "Don't move. ”
Suddenly, arrows rained down on the palace gate.
The palace door opened a crack, and Yun Zhao dragged Ji Yuxi and quickly hid in. She threw the king of Huai'an to the soldiers to escort and dusted off her body.
Ji Xingyan rushed down and pulled Yun Zhao into his arms.
"How dare you take such a risk."
Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "At least I took him down." ”
Ji Xingyan let go of her and looked at Ji Yuxi.
"Marquis Yuling will not give up rebellion for him."
"I know." Yun Zhao shrugged, "It's better to have him in hand than nothing." ”
Ji Xingyan waved his hand: "Take him to see Your Majesty." He stared at Yun Zhao calmly, and his majestic face showed a little embarrassment: "What he said just now ......"
Yun Zhao hurriedly went to the Chaoyang Palace: "I didn't go to my heart. ”
Ji Xingyan froze in place, looking at her back. She looked back, her face still calm: "I know he just wants to take advantage of me. ”
She didn't feel sad in her heart, but breathed a sigh of relief. What the king of Huai'an said was indeed false.
The prince and her are kings and ministers, and close friends, how could he want to marry her.
The Chaoyang Hall is as majestic as before, and the dazzling light of the glazed tiles makes people dare not force their eyes. Zhao Rufeng led the forbidden army to tightly surround the hall.
Yun Zhao hurriedly ran up in two steps: "Master, is it good?" ”
Zhao Rufeng nodded, looked her up and down, saw her cheeks swollen, and looked worried: "What's the matter?" ”
Yun Zhao shook his head: "Master, don't worry. She knelt down in front of the gate and shouted inside: "Chen Yunzhao is too late to save the driver!" Your Majesty, please open the door. ”
The door slammed open. Yun Zhao got up and walked in.
The emperor was old, and he sat on the dragon chair, wearing a yellow robe, with gray ears and temples, looking vicissitudes. His eyes, in particular, were cloudy and painful.
The concubines in the palace gathered together, and the young princes were protected behind them. The woman kneeling in front of the temple was dressed in plain clothes, her long hair was scattered, and she hung her head quietly.
Yun Zhao only glanced at her, and knelt down in front of the palace: "Your Majesty, it's too late for the minister's rescue." ”
"Get up." The emperor stood up urgently and confided his anger to others with resentment: "Rebel! I have loved you for so many years! ”
Yun Zhao lowered his head and glanced at the concubine.
She has long lost her former elegance and arrogance, and at the beginning of the palace change, she was betrayed by her father, brother and son at the same time. They disregarded her life and death, and wanted supreme power.
King Huai'an raised his head coldly: "Hurt me? The seventh brother was forced to death by you, and the mother concubine was imprisoned, when did you hurt me! ”
The Emperor gasped and looked at him, but he couldn't argue.
The prince walked in slowly and said to King Huai'an: "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, why don't you understand, third brother?" ”
Yun Zhao saw that the emperor's face softened a little, and he sat down and looked at his two sons in silence.
There was a touch of coldness in the prince's eyes, and his voice was cold: "If you don't force the palace, my father will also keep the concubine rich and prosperous, and keep you safe all your life." ”
The concubine didn't pick her eyelids, she didn't look at her husband or her son.
King Huai'an scoffed at this: "This position was originally mine!" Either you kill me now, or wait for your ancestor to come in and kill you without leaving a piece of armor. ”
Yun Zhao felt that he was probably crazy.
"How's it going out there?" The emperor asked suddenly.
Yun Zhao hurriedly replied: "There are tens of thousands of rebels outside the palace, and there are only 5,000 Yuyang troops who come with the ministers, stationed outside the southern city gate, waiting for the opportunity. ”
The crown prince took two steps forward and stood beside Yun Zhao, and arched his hand upward: "Father, the son of the emperor asks for orders to bring the forbidden army to quell the rebellion with the Marquis of Ronglai." ”
Yun Zhao turned his head to look at him in surprise. She had guessed his mind almost at that moment, and trembled at such thoughts.
She cautiously looked up at the head, and the emperor frowned, obviously uneasy about it.
"Your Majesty, please take the forbidden army to stay, and the minister is willing to go out of the palace to quell the rebellion."
"I'll send you five thousand forbidden troops."
10,000 against 30,000 is not necessarily impossible to win.
Yun Zhao bowed: "The minister will not disgrace his life." ”
Out of the Chaoyang Palace, she bid farewell to her master. The prince hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her wrist: "Ah Zhao! ”
"Your Highness." She raised her head and looked at the crown prince, her eyes were cold and gentle, "Please protect yourself, Your Highness." ”
She bit down on the last few words. The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "You are really so smart that it is frightening. ”
Yun Zhao frowned, leaned forward to him, lowered his voice and said, "You won't not understand, Your Majesty has murderous intentions." ”
The prince snorted. Yun Zhao had a headache, and she said, "It's not appropriate to have a side cause at this time, Ah Yan, you are already the prince." ”
What else can't wait?
She pulled out her hand and turned to leave.
Yun Zhao sent out fireworks, and General Yu led his army into the city.
The king of Huai'an was captured, and the Marquis of Yuling fought against the water.
For a whole day and night, inside and outside the capital, there was a river of blood.
Yun Zhao's sword, hands, and face were covered in blood, some of them were other people's, and some of them were her own. There was no smell under the snort, it was all blood, and then it gradually became numb.
The palace gates were still breached, and the rebels swarmed in. Yun Zhao hurried back to the palace, and the entire palace was already in chaos, and the killing and blood had turned this majestic palace city into hell.
Yun Zhao rushed to the Chaoyang Palace, and the majestic hall lost its former prestige, like a rickety old man who was dying.
The hall was in chaos, the prince was holding a long sword, and his white robe was stained with blood. The king of Huai'an was dead, and his grandfather was on his knees and weeping. The concubines were so frightened that their faces were pale, and the children were crying.
