The moonlight outside was cool, and a clear glow was scattered on the ground.

A full moon rose in the sky, which was originally a pleasing sight, but at this time it was a little solemn.

Layer by layer of forbidden troops, bright or dark, surrounded the Jiuhua Hall layer by layer, and the heavy palace gates outside were extremely tightly defended.

After a while, there was a sudden movement on the silent road, the queen's guard of honor appeared from the corner, and the originally dark ninefold palace became brighter, and the fierce and silent giant beast moved.

On the high chariot under the canopy, the queen was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the steps in front of her ears swayed with the march of the chariot, scorching and shining in the moonlight.

And the queen herself who was sitting on the chariot had a haggard face, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was asleep.

The guard of honor walked forward, without any obstacles all the way, but when they arrived in front of the Jiuhua Palace, they were stopped by the forbidden army guarding them.

Empress Liu slowly opened her eyes, looked at the forbidden army in front of her, and said:

"Bold! Do you still know that you are eating this Dacheng's food, taking this Dacheng's salary, and your family is protected by Dacheng? I am the queen of Dacheng, you dare to stand in my way, are you going to do the opposite? ”

After she finished speaking, the forbidden army in front of her didn't seem to hear it, didn't react at all, and still stood in front like a clay sculpture.

She smiled coldly and waved her hand, and the group of eunuchs behind her were about to step forward to push away the forbidden army, but before they could get close, they heard a neat brush, and those clay sculptures drew out the shiny long knives on their waists.

The person who was about to rush forward was stunned for a moment, flinched a little, and stood in front of the forbidden army to form a confrontation.

Empress Liu raised her hand, and Li Changyu came out of the crowd and helped her down from the high chariot. She walked forward, stopping in front of the forbidden troops.

The forbidden soldiers looked at each other, a little embarrassed, the palace people dared to do it, but after all, this is the queen of Dacheng!

Empress Liu walked forward step by step, and the forbidden army retreated little by little. Seeing that Danqi was about to come to an end, the forbidden army behind suddenly split into two and made way for a road.

Empress Liu held a slightly heavy dress in both hands, looked up, and saw a person on the high stairs, dressed in black, with a face like white jade, cold and solemn.

She felt like a boulder had been pressed against her heart, and she had to meet him in such a hostile posture when she had come to this day.

At this time, she was just a pioneer in the front, and the people she brought were just strong and strong, and she didn't expect them to have the strength to fight with the forbidden army.

Step by step, she climbed the stairs and walked towards him. The closer she got, the sadder her heart became.

Either you die or I die.

Each step was heavy, as if it were going to drain all her strength.

Shen Junzhuo looked at Empress Liu, who came up step by step, and respectfully and condescendingly saluted her as a courtier, but stood in place without moving his steps, and said:

"The minister visited the saint, I don't know what happened when the saint came to the Jiuhua Hall late at night?"

His voice was so cold that it kept her away. She couldn't help but feel desolate in her heart, he was good in everything, almost perfect, but this perfection had nothing to do with her, he didn't have the slightest interest in her, this was his armor, but it was her weakness.

At the last step, she stopped a step away from him, and she looked at him, her voice tightened, and said:

"This palace has come to see the official family. Some people say that the official family is seriously ill, so the palace should come to visit. ”

Shen Junzhuo's cold gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and said coldly:

"The housekeeper has always had a cough disease, and he did not hide it from the saint, but it has indeed worsened recently. However, now that the official family has rested, it is inconvenient for the saint to visit the patient at this time. ”

Empress Liu chuckled, missed his figure and looked at the Jiuhua Palace, and said:

"Inconvenient at this time? Shen Qing said, when will it be convenient? I'm afraid that no matter when this palace comes, it will be inconvenient, right? ”

Indeed, she came several times, but was blocked back. But even if she was blocked back, didn't it affect her to learn the news of the official family?

Shen Jun's face was expressionless, but he still didn't move his steps, and said:

"Sage, for your own good, please return to the palace!"

Empress Liu laughed, heh, he said for her good? How could she be so good?

She was about to speak, but suddenly saw Shen Junzhuo's expression change, followed his gaze and turned to look over, and saw a raging fire burning in the direction of the southwest corner gate, the flames soared into the sky, and the thick black smoke floated towards this side.

"Here they are." She said softly, "You didn't expect that they would be able to break through the palace gate so quickly?" ”

Shen Junzhuo looked into her eyes at this time, his gaze was heavy.

A big smile appeared on her face, which looked delicate and bright in the firelight and moonlight, and it was the first time he had looked at her so intently for a long time.

She said in a voice like a whisper:

"Your people are not like iron buckets. Li Mu, he has become the prime minister! ”

Shen Junzhuo set off an uproar in his heart, no wonder the prime minister dared to launch this coup d'état when he had most of the military power, just with the Tiger Camp, no matter how strong they were, the walls of the Nine-Fold Palace were high and thick, and it was not possible to open the palace gate for a while.

As long as the front of the palace gate can withstand a night, he has already mobilized a large number of people outside the city, and in less than an hour, he can immediately surround the entire Ninefold Palace into an iron bucket, even if the tiger camp is brave, it can be firmly controlled.

But now, the palace gate was opened so easily, and the fire of the southwest corner gate said it all. The Tiger Battalion was originally in good combat power, coupled with Li Mu's temporary defection, the forbidden army killed each other, and I am afraid that they will be cut off before they can react.

He no longer looked at Empress Liu, and said loudly:

"Zhao Feiyong, send someone to the southwest for reinforcements!"

Zhao Feiyong promised loudly. It's just that before he left the Jiuhua Palace, he saw a person covered in blood stumbling over, and shouted with his last strength:

"Report! The enemy army has broken through the Jiuhua Gate! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Shen Junzhuo, and they saw that his face was even colder, and his eyes looked deeply in the direction of Jiuhua Gate.

The smoke had already drifted over, and there was choking smoke in the air, and the black smoke covered the moonlight, and the whole sky was dark for a while.

In the dreak, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and when everyone saw it clearly, they saw Prime Minister Liu Cheng as the leader, followed by most of the officials of Dacheng's court, although they were embarrassed, their faces were excited.

The soldiers of the tiger battalion lined up on both sides and guarded them in the middle, which gave them even more confidence.

Shen Junzhuo narrowed his eyes, and the forbidden army gathered a little in the middle.

Prime Minister Liu glanced at Shen Junzhuo and Empress Liu, who were standing on top of the Danqi, and asked knowingly:

"It's late at night, why is General Shen here?"

Shen Junzhuo snorted coldly and said:

"A certain guard palace, where the duty lies. I don't know why the prime minister is here at this moment? ”

Prime Minister Liu laughed out loud, and after laughing, he said:

"I heard that the official family is seriously ill, and the courtiers naturally want to come and see it, how can they let the official family fall into the hands of people with bad intentions?"
