Three hundred and seventieth nine chapters hard fight (a)
Outside Cining Palace, there were the most manpower and the strictest guards. These manpower were deployed by the prince himself. Even Eunuch Yang did not intervene.
There was a sudden change in the East Palace, and the harem was in chaos, but it had nothing to do with the Cining Palace. No matter whether it was the King of Qin or the King of Zhao or Han, no matter who wanted to plot rebellion, they would not touch Empress Dowager Cao.
After all, Empress Dowager Cao had a high seniority and a high position. If any of the princes were lucky enough to succeed in their rebellion and wanted to ascend the throne, they would have to have Empress Cao as a fig leaf.
Therefore, Feng Shaojun did not put too much thought into Cining Palace.
She never expected that Concubine Cao would break into Cining Palace alone and stab Empress Dowager Cao in the chest with a dagger.
When Empress Dowager Cao died, the entire Cining Palace was in chaos. Some palace officials tied up the assailant Cao Guifei, while others stumbled out of Cining Palace and went to the East Palace to deliver a message.
However, there were dead men in black everywhere outside the East Palace, and the man who delivered the message was killed with a knife before he even got close to the East Palace.
The East Palace sealed its gates for self-protection and cut off all news from the palace. The sad news of Empress Dowager Cao's death could not reach the East Palace.
At this time, Feng Shaojun was still guarding his concubine Yuan Min.
Yuan Min lay down for two hours and her stomach recovered, but she still didn't have the strength to get down.
"Eunuch Feng," Yuan Min suddenly whispered: "Have you sent someone to take a look at Miss Man's yard?"
Feng Shaojun's expression did not change: "I have sent someone to deliver the message a long time ago. There are personal guards guarding the courtyard gate. As long as the East Palace can guard it, no one can rush into the courtyard."
Man'er's identity has always been very embarrassing. She doesn't have a serious status, and she is pregnant with her grandson. Regardless of whether she is good or not, the masters will not be happy if she has too much control.
Yuan Min asked and then stopped.
Feng Shaojun took one look at Yuan Min's weak face and called a waiter over in a low voice. The waiter nodded and quickly left. After burning an incense stick, he brought a bowl of hot rice porridge.
Feng Shaojun took the tray and carried it to the bed himself.
The shouts of killing never stopped, and they were getting closer and closer. Yuan Min's heart was in his throat, and he was not in the mood to eat. He smiled bitterly: "I really have no appetite, I'm afraid I will let Eunuch Feng down."
What a kindness."
Feng Shaojun said softly: "The East Palace is still fine, and the sky will not collapse. Even if it does, there will be slaves standing in front of me to prevent anyone from hurting the empress."
"My dear, it will be good for you to eat a little and drink a few mouthfuls of hot porridge to warm your stomach."
Feng Shaojun couldn't wait for him personally, so he glanced around and saw that the palace attendant standing by the bed came over immediately, carefully scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blew it, and brought it to his master's mouth.
Yuan Min opened her mouth and drank it subconsciously. The smooth and warm porridge entered her mouth, and her whole body warmed up. She drank one mouthful after another, and then she stopped talking.
The tense nerves were slightly relieved, and fatigue suddenly came over me.
Yuan Min glanced at the familiar figure of Eunuch Feng not far away, and felt inexplicably at ease. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in a hazy state.
Feng Shaojun turned around and took a look, and was relieved to see Yuan Min closing her eyes and sleeping.
She walked out of the dormitory and glanced around. The harem, which was originally full of fire, had calmed down a lot. It seemed that the man in black who broke into the harem had limited manpower, causing a period of turmoil, and was quickly suppressed by the imperial guards.
The greater possibility is that the real "main force" is ambushing the prince.
Feng Shaojun looked silently in the direction of the imperial mausoleum, and gently placed his left hand on his flat belly.
The last time the couple got together was more than a month ago. Immediately afterwards, there was the sad news of the emperor's death and the funeral arrangements. For more than a month, she and Shen You were busy separately.
Her menstrual period has not come. Calculating the time, it should be two months today. She is very lucky that she is in good health and has no symptoms such as morning sickness. No one knows that she is pregnant.
She originally thought that after the funeral was over, she would tell Shen You the good news. They were going to be parents...
Shen You, no matter how dangerous it is, you must hold on.
You are going to be a father. You must be safe and sound.
The corners of Feng Shaojun's eyes felt a little hot.
She turned her head to the side, slowly exhaled a few breaths, and quickly adjusted her mood. Now was not the time to feel sad about the spring and autumn, let alone feel sorry for herself. She had to stabilize the hearts of the East Palace and survive this period of darkness and lack of light. when.
"Eunuch Feng," a guard from the East Palace ran over quickly, his body covered in blood, and the thick smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.
Feng Shaojun felt vaguely uncomfortable in his stomach, but there was no sign of anything strange on his face. He glanced over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said: "These men in black are very ferocious and fearless of death. Many of our people have died. Commander Liao has also been injured."
Feng Shaojun had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Let Commander Liao bandage and rest for a while. Those who are seriously injured retreat, and those who are less seriously injured and can still hold the sword continue to kill the enemy!"
"Remember, no matter how many people are killed or injured, we must defend the East Palace."
…
The imperial mausoleum also fell into a bitter battle.
Nearly 50% of the Imperial Guardsmen were killed or wounded, and they were brutally killed by the men in black. As long as they could hold weapons, they refused to retreat. Some even got injured and rushed forward with knives to die with the men in black.
At the fourth watch, some men in black finally rushed in.
The guards of the East Palace, who had been waiting in full array, had a fierce cold light in their eyes. Shen Jia was the first to bear the brunt, raising his arms and shouting: "Kill all the traitors!"
He raised the knife with his hand and cut off the head of a dead soldier in black with one strike. The skull rolled down and blood immediately spattered several meters away.
A group of East Palace guards each wielded weapons and fought with the dead men in black.
Shen You's eyes were like cold stars, but he didn't move.
He was responsible for protecting the prince's safety. He had to stay by his side at all times, but he could not rush forward to meet the enemy. He glanced around, turned around and entered the room.
The Crown Prince's expression was heavy, and His Majesty the Grand Sun's qi-building skills were far inferior to that of his own father. There was a hint of panic in his eyes, and he rushed to ask: "Shen You! What's going on outside?"
Wang Zhang and Yuan Hai also looked over.
Shen You reported in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army suffered heavy casualties, but the black-clothed rebels also suffered many casualties. There were about hundreds of people who rushed over."
"It's the fourth watch now. If we hold on for another hour, it will be dawn. Reinforcements will arrive."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, all the guards of the East Palace are fighting desperately. The traitors in black have no chance of breaking in."
Unless you step over the corpses of all the East Palace guards.
Shen You did not say this last sentence. The bravery and murderous intent were clearly evident in his eyes.
Zhu Yun looked at these sinister black eyes, and his heart felt strangely calm.
The prince looked deeply at Shen You: "The most dangerous time has not yet come, so you can stay with me for the time being."
