The sky outside was foggy, and the rain slid over the eaves and fell to the ground, adding to the irritability.

The three-day deadline is approaching, and the court is pregnant with ghosts, and the dark tide is surging.

In the palace of raising the heart, the emperor criticized the folds, and his eyebrows were furrowed and called a Sichuan character.

Looking at Benben's persuasion to be cautious and friendly, the emperor snorted coldly, threw down the pen in his hand, and whispered in a deep voice, "A bunch of rice buckets can only play some lip service!" ”

"Zhang De."

Hearing the emperor call his name, Zhang De hurriedly greeted him and whispered, "The slave is here." ”

"Ask Concubine Xiao to come and see me." The emperor's face was gloomy, and his tone was quite impatient, "The Xiao family jointly signed a letter, is it going to be reversed?" ”

Zhang De lowered his head and said in a thin voice, "Your Majesty, there is news in Qile Palace, saying that Concubine Xiao Guifei suddenly had a high fever, and two days ago, she ordered someone to spread a message and withdraw the sign. ”

"Sick?" The emperor paused, and a trace of suspicion flashed on his face, "It's time for her to be sick." ”

Zhang De smiled awkwardly and comforted in a low voice, "The Ninth Princess went to the Turks to make peace, and Concubine Xiao was naturally reluctant, and under the fright, she would inevitably catch the cold." ”

"It's all a woman's opinion!" The emperor snorted heavily, and pushed aside some of the small mountains in front of him, "It is their responsibility to relieve the country's worries. ”

"That's what the emperor said." Zhang De lowered his head, not daring to refute half a sentence.

"That's it." The emperor sighed lightly and put his hands on his knees, "The sky is different today, pass it on, and I won't turn over the brand tonight." ”

Zhang De's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "Yes." ”

Yikun Palace

There are three people sitting in the room, the top is the elegant Queen Zhu, on the right is Fang Xu, who was called into the palace early, and on the other side is Xiao Guifei, who can't even get out of bed because of Zhang De's sick food.

"Xiao Xu ......" Zhu Empress Zhu's face turned pale, and her fingertips stirred together, "Is the news outside true?" ”

Fang Xu nodded lightly, although his face was not revealed, his palms were already wet, "Last night, Xie Li brought back the news, saying that the soldiers of the eldest prince had gathered in Lingshan on the outskirts of Beijing, and the spies came with a message, saying that they would do it tonight." ”

When the words landed, Concubine Xiao Guifei shook her body and asked in a low voice, "Have they all arranged the four princes?" ”

Fang Xu's eyes were pale, and there was no emotion in his tone, "Xie Li told me that they were seventy percent sure this time. ”

"Isn't there still thirty percent of the bottom?" Xiao Guifei clenched her fists, panic flashed on her face, "The Xiao family has suppressed all their lives......"

"Who isn't a shipwreck?" Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at her faintly, "As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and now that the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, the odds of victory can be greater." ”

Xiao Guifei bit her lower lip and slowly lowered her head, and couldn't help but think of Yuan Mi's innocent and cute appearance in her mind.

Empress Zhu lowered her expression, endured the fear in her heart, and asked softly, "Is everything arranged in the Marquis Yongcheng Mansion?" ”

Fang Xu hummed lightly, and a little smile appeared in his eyes, "Rest assured, everything is taken care of by your sister." ”

"What about Concubine Xiao?" Empress Zhu looked sideways at the woman who looked down and lowered her voice, "Can Xiao Jiu be arranged?" ”

Concubine Xiao nodded numbly and whispered, "The concubine has already taken Xiao Jiu out of the palace." ”

When Queen Zhu heard this, her hanging heart fell slightly, and her eyes swept to the half-open window, looking at the dead trees in the yard, and her heart was slightly cold.

It's getting late, I don't know if I noticed an abnormality, and there are only a few people in the palace corridor where people used to come and go.

Outside the imperial city, the soldiers were about to close the palace gate, but suddenly noticed that the ground was trembling slightly.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves mixed with the cries for help of many people came from a distance, and the soldiers looked up and saw only a group of men and horses rushing towards them.

The dust rolls, and the people who look at it are terrified.

The soldier's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "There is ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was shot into the chest by the man in charge.

"All the soldiers, charge with me, destroy the traitorous minister Sui Yin, and protect the glory of Dayan!" Yuan Chi held his longbow and roared.

"Destroy the traitorous ministers, Qingjun's side!"

The rebels behind him raised their swords in support, and their roars resounded through the sky.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

Zhang De rushed into the room and said loudly, "Oh no, the emperor, the eldest prince is the opposite!" ”

The emperor, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, shook his body, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at the person who came, his eyes were about to split, "What did you say!" ”

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is reversed!" Zhang De's expression was flustered, with fear in his eyes, "I have already attacked the palace gate!" ”

"Ridiculous, is it an ornament?" The emperor slapped the table and shouted, "Go find Seinfeld and ask him to arrest Yuan Chi to see me!" ”

Zhang De wiped the cold sweat that slipped down his forehead, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, General Song is gone......"

The emperor was stunned, and then his face turned pale, and he shouted in a low voice, "Then go and distinguish people!" ”

“…… Be. ”

Zhang De rushed out and didn't come back for a long time.

Yuan Chi was well prepared and caught the emperor off guard.

The scuffle continued, countless soldiers fell to the ground, wails and moans echoed through the palace, and corpses wrapped in cripples were everywhere.

In Yikun Palace, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.

The cry for help came into his ears, Fang Xu's expression turned grim, and he said in a low voice, "It's here!" ”

Xiao Guifei got up suddenly, her eyes full of panic, "It's here...... It's really coming! ”

"Xiao Xu." Empress Zhu got up, her eyes fell on Fang Xu, mixed with emotions that others couldn't understand.

Fang Xu saw the sadness in her eyes, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, the people of the four princes are not far from the palace, we just need to hide in the palace, and we will be fine." ”

Empress Zhu nodded, her eyes flashing, "You two come with the palace." ”

Fang Xu looked puzzled, but he still got up obediently and followed behind her, not forgetting to pull away Xiao Guifei, who had long been scared stupidly.

Empress Zhu walked quickly to the inner hall, turned over the futon on the bed, revealed the groove inside, and moved away from the wooden shelf not far away with her fingertips.

"This ......" Fang Xu looked at the secret passage that suddenly appeared, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Queen Mother......

"I thought it was useless." Queen Zhu pushed the two of them and said softly, "Lin Sheng and Mama Chang both know here, let's quickly hide in and hold on until Chen Er comes." ”

When Fang Xu heard this, he was not hypocritical, and pulled Xiao Guifei to follow her.

Xiao Guifei's expression turned pale and let Fang Xu pull her away.

Fang Xu glanced at her, feeling helpless and funny, "Guifei Niangniang, you are behind the gate, how can you not be as brave as me?" ”

"Do you have to be bold after closing the door?" Concubine Xiao Guifei came back to her senses, and her face had not eased yet, "I have been cultivated as a concubine since I was a child, and I have never touched a shot or a stick, how can I compare with your daughter-in-law?" ”

Fang Xu shook his head and smiled, and walked quickly into the dark room.

The dark room is not big, it can only accommodate five people, and it is not soundproof, and you can hear the sound of swords colliding outside when you huddle inside. (End of chapter)
