Those shadowy figures were obviously well-trained as they quickly climbed up the city wall and quietly disposed of the corpses.
Then, the city gate opened wide, and a hundred thousand soldiers equipped with fine iron armor and weapons appeared out of thin air. After lighting torches, they rushed towards the palace.
The Imperial Guards and patrolling soldiers they met on the way were all killed one after another, leaving no one behind.
By the time the palace and ministers received the news, this sudden army had already reached the entrance of the palace and surrounded the palace and the residences of all ministers at an extremely fast speed.
During the confrontation between the two sides, the guards in the palace turned out to be like crispy radishes. In the blink of an eye, a large number of heads were harvested by the rebels.
The remaining 20,000 troops successfully entered the palace, fighting all the way. Regardless of whether they were imperial guards, palace maids or eunuchs, anyone who was encountered could not escape the fate of being killed.
By the time they entered Xuandemen, their armors were covered with the blood of countless people. They were all excited, holding up their weapons and shouting and laughing wildly.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred. A faint sound of xun was heard in their ears, and the hacking movements on their hands became extremely slow.
At the same time, in this long, narrow and deep alley, countless arrows rained down on their heads. The bows and arrows were fired very fast, as if tens of thousands of people were ambushed.
They hurriedly drew their weapons to resist the arrows, but because their hands were too slow to respond, thousands of them were shot dead in the blink of an eye.
Among the first two people, one of them was wearing black armor. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shang Yici.
And beside him was his grandfather, General Yu Wude, who was armed with heavy troops.
Shang Yici hid aside and shouted to Yu Wude: "Grandpa! We seem to be ambushed!"
"Impossible! The Dog Emperor must have deployed all his troops here after knowing what happened! As long as we enter the harem, we will definitely be able to win the throne in one fell swoop."
Shang Yici's eyes were a little fanatical, he nodded vigorously, and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers! Enter the harem! When the king seizes the throne, you will definitely be promoted to a higher rank!"
"Yes! Brothers! Charge!"
Although the soldiers moved slowly, they could not withstand the large number of people. With their support and desperate fighting, Yu Wude and Shang Yici finally led the army to break out of Xuandemen.
At this time, the concubines in the harem gathered in the queen's palace. Listening to the fighting and crying for mercy coming from all over the palace, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they burst into tears.
Yu Qingwan was sitting alone in the corner, her beautiful face not only showed no panic, but also a hint of expectation.
The queen looked at the weeping concubines displeased and asked, "It's fine that Concubine Ya doesn't leave the palace all year round. Why doesn't Concubine Yu come over either?"
The nun next to her knelt down and saluted, and replied: "Back to your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Concubine has gone to the Royal Study Room a long time ago."
"Although she is a general's daughter, she has no power to restrain a chicken. She is just a burden to the emperor. She is not enough to cause trouble to the emperor! Come here! Go and ask Concubine Yu to come over!"
How could the Queen worry about Concubine Yu's safety, but she had to say this in these situations.
"Empress, why don't you let me go?" Yu Qingwan stood up and said.
Yu Qingwan is good at sword dancing, and naturally knows some martial arts.
But Yu Qingwan was one of the four concubines, so if something happened, the queen would not be able to explain it.
Yu Qingwan seemed to have guessed her concerns and said: "Mother, the palace servants in your palace do not have martial arts. They might be killed by the rebels before they reach the imperial study room. I have practiced martial arts at least, so I
There will be no problem in sending messages to Bohe.”
"this"
At this time, the front door of the queen's palace was suddenly knocked open, and a little eunuch covered in blood stumbled in. He was stabbed several times and was already dying. He fell to the ground as soon as he entered.
The few guards at the door immediately closed the door and drew their swords, and the rest of the imperial guards guarded the queen.
The concubines were so frightened that they screamed loudly, but Yu Qingwan remained calm-faced. She quickly stepped forward and squatted next to the young eunuch, quickly sealing several large holes on his body to prevent his blood from continuing to drain.
The queen also came over with the support of the palace maid, and found that the young eunuch was actually the person she had placed next to Concubine Yu.
"Xiao Zhuozi, how could it be you? What happened? Didn't Concubine Yu go to see the emperor? Did something happen to the emperor?!"
The queen turned pale with fright and managed to stand up straight.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, help me! Concubine Yu assassinated the Emperor, and the Emperor was seriously injured. Doctor Pei has already rushed over."
"What did you say? How could Concubine Yu assassinate the emperor? How is the emperor's injury? Are they still in the imperial study?"
"Empress, I have heard that the rebels who forced the palace to rebel are none other than King Qin and General Yu. You, you must be careful!"
The little eunuch's breath became weaker and weaker. Even though Yu Qingwan tried to hang up his life for him, he finally died.
The queen clenched the handkerchief tightly, her eyes becoming colder and colder: "Yu Wude! Yu Xinyue!"
She clenched her back molars, thought for a moment, and strode outside.
The other concubines and palace people hurriedly stopped her.
"Empress! You are the Lord of the Sixth Palace. The harem still needs you to preside over the overall situation and stabilize people's hearts, so let me go. Ever since Qing Wan entered the palace, you have been under the care of your empress. Now, Qing Wan is willing to repay your kindness to your empress."
After Yu Qingwan finished speaking, he knelt down and bowed to the queen solemnly.
The look is stunning, and the hem of the lake-blue palace dress is scattered on the ground, like ripples on the water. Her righteous and majestic appearance without fear of danger is like an elegant lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained.
Everyone felt inexplicably relieved.
When the others saw this, they also knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Late Concubine is right! You can't go out! His Royal Highness will be here soon!"
"Empress, you are the queen! That concubine Yu is a demon concubine! Her brother is a traitor! They must die a good death!"
"The late concubine is very skilled in martial arts, let her go, she can help at least!"
Sure enough, the queen hesitated, but Shan Yuchen never showed up, which made her a little uneasy.
She held Yu Qingwan's hand, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Qing Wan, I don't know what the situation is with the emperor. You must be careful and don't be careless."
Yu Qingwan nodded: "Don't worry, empress, I will definitely rescue the emperor."
The queen was also very confused at the moment, but she had to pretend to be calm. She could not really place her hopes on a concubine, but there was no sign of Shang Yici's rebellion, and she had no time to think of a strategy in advance.
After the imperial minister left at night, the queen pondered for a long time. In full view of everyone, she suddenly turned around and returned to her bedroom.
When she reappeared, she had put on a gorgeous and dignified red queen's costume. She changed from the simple and elegant past. Her makeup was exquisite and cool. When she walked, her golden steps moved step by step, with phoenixes surrounding the flower branches and pearls and jade lining the flowers.
