Chapter 199: Su Youning, It's Me
Chu Yu gave an order, and the white tiger immediately surrendered his hand.
Under the snowy night, Chu Yu thought that the warm Dayu was too much of a hindrance, so he simply took him off and threw him aside.
A moment later, Chu Yu and the White Tiger parted ways in the snowy night, he had to enter the palace as soon as possible to find where Su Youning was, and he would be relieved to see her safe and sound.
It's just that no matter how strong Chu Yu's cultivation is, he can't withstand the invasion of this cold wind, and his legs haven't recovered for a long time, so this kind of rapid movement is a little unbearable after all.
But Chu Yu didn't slow down at all, and finally came to the gate of the palace.
Looking at each other from afar, looking at the heavily guarded palace gate, Chu Yu's eyebrows were frowning, and now he could only enter the palace through the palace gate of the forbidden army's handle.
He turned around and flew to the room where Pang Jia, the commander of the forbidden army, was located, the emperor was seriously ill, and Pang Jia must be on duty in the room.
Sure enough, before Chu Yu could reach the front of the house, Pang Jia walked out in a military uniform with a sword and shouted.
"The palace gate is heavy, who is coming?"
Chu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Pang Jia, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Now in such a situation in the palace, Commander Pang is still so leisurely."
Pang Jia saw the face of the person who came, pursed his lips slightly, and arched his hand.
"Pang Jia sees His Royal Highness King Yu, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yu means?"
Chu Yu snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said sharply.
"The emperor was placed under house arrest by the guards of Chulian United Town and State Mansion, and Commander Pang didn't know? Is it collusion or pretending not to know? ”
Pang Jia's face sank, and he knelt down on one knee and said.
"His Royal Highness King Yu said cautiously, how could such a rebellious thing happen in the palace."
Chu Yu didn't have time to explain more, and he couldn't wait to fly into the palace at this moment.
"Caution? This hall has always only known that it is straightforward and does not know how to speak carefully, let your people open the palace door, and the main hall will enter and find out. ”
Pang Jia immediately sternly refused.
"There is an order in the palace that the emperor is critically ill, and no one is allowed to enter the palace without a summons."
Chu Yu shouted.
"Ridiculous, the main hall learned that the emperor was seriously ill and rushed all the way back to Kyoto from Huizhou, and now he can't even see the emperor?"
"Taicheng Hall has an order? Whose order? Isn't the emperor critically ill? ”
Chu Yu asked repeatedly, Pang Jia was a little embarrassed, he knew that the situation in the palace was different, but this morning the news came out from the Taicheng Palace, the emperor was critically ill, and no one was allowed to enter the palace at will.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yu not to embarrass his subordinates."
Chu Yu snorted coldly and shouted again.
"Sorry for you? Pang Jia, could it be that you really want this Southern Dynasty to change the sky? ”
Pang Jia's eyes froze, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and arched his hand.
"My subordinates will go and open the palace gate and go with you."
Chu Yu raised his hand to stop it and said coldly.
"No need, you send someone to the gate of the other palace, and His Royal Highness the King of the South will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother later, you just need to let them go."
"The palace is just to confirm whether Princess Yu is okay, and Chu Nan has his own way to save the emperor's plan."
Pang Jia didn't ask much, nodded and took Chu Yu into the inner gate of the palace.
After opening the palace gate, he watched Chu Yu enter the palace without looking back, and Pang Jia held the sword in his hand tighter.
The palace is too much of a hall.
Chu Lian took his hands and slowly walked into the main hall with four guards with swords.
Seeing that the emperor had grown a lot of gray hair in one day, Chu Lian smiled and stepped forward to give a salute.
"My father didn't rest well, and he didn't see him for a day, so it seems that it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian."
The emperor didn't speak, not only did he not rest well on this day, he didn't rest at all, he couldn't understand that Chu Lian, who had followed the prince in the past, would have the idea of usurping the throne.
Seeing that the emperor did not react, Chu Lian smiled again and spoke.
"Father, the son gave you a day, haven't you thought it through?"
The emperor slowly raised his head, a bright yellow regular dress made him even darker, his dull eyes darkened again, but his tone still carried a trace of coercion.
"How can my country give you such a rebellious son who seeks power and usurps the throne?"
Chu Lian's eyes turned cold, and then he returned to normal, and he found a random place in the hall and sat down, his tone was light.
"Great rebellion? Seeking power and usurping the throne? Father, at the moment, in this Kyoto City, except for the rebel son in your mouth, who else can take on the heavy responsibility of the Southern Dynasty for you? ”
A trace of coldness flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he stopped speaking and lowered his eyelids again.
Chu Lian knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment, and laughed lightly.
"Your good prince, no, he is the former prince, and now he is demoted, I heard that he has a serious illness in winter, and I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for the next year."
"Your favorite Chu Yu. Hahaha. It was so stupid to ask for an order to go to Huizhou, the snow disaster in Huizhou was so serious, do you know that the army sent by Erchen stayed outside Huizhou City, watching Chu Yu freeze to death in the city. ”
"You!"
The emperor was angry, and when he heard that his son Chu Yu was killed like this, he couldn't help but get up and tremble and pointed his finger at Chu Lian and scolded angrily.
"Killing your father and killing your brother, what else do you not dare?"
Chu Lian's face suddenly changed, and he stared at the emperor angrily.
"At this point, my father and the emperor should not think that the sons and daughters will turn back, it is better to write an edict, so that the imperial grandmother and the concubines of the harem will not be burdened by you."
The emperor sighed and sat back in his chair.
"You are not worthy, you are not worthy of this throne!"
Chu Lian's face turned red, and he looked at the emperor with cold eyes.
"If the son is not worthy, who else is worthy? Is it the Chu Nan who has been lost outside Kyoto for more than ten years? He was just an abandoned son who didn't even have a mother. ”
"Father, if you still refuse to write the edict tonight, the emperor's grandmother will die tomorrow."
Long before coming to Taicheng Palace, Chu Lian had a detailed discussion with Emperor Ling's concubine.
Now the silence of Kyoto City is terrifying, even if the situation in the palace is like this, there is no movement from Chu Nan.
The news that has been spread in Huizhou for several days is that there is a wail in the city, but Chu Yu is no longer visible, I don't know if he was really frozen to death or if he had other plans.
All of this made Chu Lianhe and Imperial Concubine Ling feel uneasy.
Wan Guiquan of Dongchang also made a statement, asking Chu Lian to do it earlier, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy.
Chu Lian thought about it again and again, knowing that now they only have the support of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the twelve guards in Beijing are now ignorant of the situation, and no prince and minister dare to take the lead in entering the palace to ask the truth.
If the time drags on for a longer period of time, and the twelve guards are led, the Zhenguo General's Mansion will be contained, and it will be difficult to force the emperor to write an abdication edict.
Therefore, after some discussion, Chu Lian made a decision, he must let the emperor write the edict tonight, if he doesn't write it, then he can only send him on the road.
The emperor didn't know what Chu Lian was thinking, he just thought that everything in the palace had been controlled by him, and he sighed helplessly and muttered.
"Heh, even if I write an edict, can you let the Queen Mother go?"
Chu Lian immediately got up, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.
"That's natural, after all, it's Erchen's imperial grandmother, and Erchen doesn't want to make the palace full of blood."
The emperor sat crookedly in the position of the main hall, looking at the closed palace door thoughtfully.
"Where's Princess Yu?"
Chu Lian glanced at the guards behind him, the guards nodded, stepped forward and whispered a few words in Chu Lian's ear.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the emperor.
"Father doesn't have to worry, Princess Yu is in the side hall, if you write an edict, Princess Yu will naturally be safe and sound."
The emperor's eyelids blinked, but he didn't move.
Chu Lian raised his hand and ordered someone to lift the desk in front of the emperor and prepare everything.
"Father, let's put pen to paper!"
Because it is difficult to travel on a snowy night, the palace gate has long been locked, and the entire palace is very quiet at the moment.
Chu Yu came to the Taicheng Hall effortlessly.
As the white tiger said, the gate of Taicheng Hall was closed, but as soon as he got closer, he could hear the figures surging inside.
One flew away, and Chu Yu landed steadily in the corner of the courtyard of the Taicheng Palace.
The people guarding inside and outside the gate of Taicheng Hall did not notice it in the slightest. Chu Yu moved to the outside of the window lattice of the main hall like a ghost, and the main hall of the Taicheng Hall was brightly lit.
Chu Yu could vaguely tell from his voice and figure that the emperor was sitting on the throne at the moment, and Chu Lian and a few people were standing in front of him and talking about writing edicts.
He immediately understood that Chu Lian hoped that the emperor would voluntarily write an edict of abdication, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers covering the window lattice tightened slightly.
Looking at the rest of the Taicheng Palace, Chu Yu found that the snow was gradually getting smaller, and he vaguely saw a palace maid coming out of the side hall of the Taicheng Palace, holding a tray in her hand.
He left the main hall lightly, flew behind the palace maid, and grabbed the palace maid's throat.
The sudden fright made the tray in the palace maid's hand fall to the ground immediately, but fortunately, the snow was very thick, and the tray did not make a screeching sound when it smashed into the snow.
Chu Yu dragged the palace maid to a dark place and asked softly.
"Who are the people in the side hall?"
At the moment, the whole person of the palace maid was already panicked, and she wanted to shout but her throat was suppressed, and she couldn't make any sound at all, only the sound of whimpering.
Chu Yu said softly and coldly again.
"If you dare to shout, this temple will immediately cut your throat."
The imprisoned palace maid nodded in a panic, and her hand unconsciously began to grab Chu Yu's arm.
As soon as Chu Yufu let go slightly, the palace maid immediately gasped, but she didn't dare to shout, so she could only whisper intermittently.
"It's Princess Yu in the side hall."
In the next second, the palace maid's eyes were dark, and she was cut down in the snow by Chu Yu with a hand knife.
When Chu Yu learned that Su Youning was in the side hall, his nervous breathing slowed down.
He quietly approached the side hall, and the candle flame inside was dim, and not a single sound could be heard.
Chu Yu took a deep breath, his nervous heart was about to jump out, pushed open the door of the side hall, and dodged inside, and he was worried about scaring Su Youning, he shouted very softly.
"Su Youning, it's me!"
