Arriving outside the gate of the Inner Palace, the Forbidden Army was surrounded everywhere, and the blood-stained swords, guns, swords and halberds glowed with a cold atmosphere under the light of torches.
Ji Cen'an guarded the palace gate with a solemn expression. When he saw Lin Jinshu, Chu Nanzhi and others, he smiled happily. He stepped forward and said smugly: "I have eliminated the remaining forces in the palace.
, all the leaders of the rebel party have been arrested and are waiting to be punished."
After saying that, he waved to the sergeants, and more than ten chief conspirators, including Yang Runchen, Lin Tingkai, Su Wei Zhonglang General Pang Yuan, were immediately brought up.
Looking at Yang Runchen who looked unwilling, Lin Jinshu first comforted the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"It is our duty to be loyal to His Majesty."
The general next to Ji Cen'an glared at Pangyuan who was being escorted, and apologized with a look of shame on his face: "It's all my fault that the general didn't pay attention and allowed this guy to almost break into the inner palace."
"The general is definitely not to blame for this matter. As the commander of the imperial army, I was almost deceived."
Lin Jinshu stared at Chu Nanzhi with gratitude, knowing that if she hadn't taken precautions this time, these thieves might have succeeded.
Only at this moment did Yang Runchen realize that he had been manipulated by others.
She glanced angrily at Chu Nanzhi, who had an indifferent face, and sneered: "Princess Pingning is really a good stratagem, I am convinced that I have lost."
"Master Situ, thank you very much."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him meaningfully: "I admire Yang Situ. It is a good skill to be able to make all the old people from Weilan Palace to your use."
After saying that, he smiled at him again: "I would like to know how Master Situ managed to make these people willingly accept your mercy. No matter how prestigious the Third Emperor's Uncle is, he must not have this ability, right?"
Lin Tingkai didn't know at all that those old people in Weilan Palace had been taking orders from Yang Runchen, and he didn't even know that Feng Yue who exposed him and Concubine Yue was actually Yang Runchen's work. He stared at him with a blank expression and asked blankly: "What's wrong with Weilan Palace?"
Old man from Lan Palace, Mr. Situ, what else can this woman say?"
"Your Highness, success or failure is determined by itself. Although you and I have worked hard tonight and failed to achieve our great ambitions, we are still extremely generous. Don't listen to this woman's gossip again."
Yang Runchen argued calmly.
However, Lin Tingkai was unwilling to die. He knelt down heavily on the ground and begged sadly: "Jin Shu, the emperor's uncle was instigated by others and was confused for a moment. Please take the emperor's uncle into the palace to meet His Majesty and our ancestors."
"Your Highness."
Yang Runchen was extremely disappointed with his pitiful and cowardly appearance, and said earnestly: "Your Highness is the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of Prince Ting'an, how can you be so shameless?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly came out from the palace: "Yang Situ also has the nerve to promote the crown prince?"
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see Yin Enci leading a group of palace people to step out slowly.
Although the palace suffered a disaster, due to the fierce resistance of the imperial army led by Ji Cen'an and the timely arrival of reinforcements, no one broke into the sleeping rooms of the inner palace.
Yin Enci was surprised and probably guessed that Sun's wife and Jin Shu had already taken precautions against this matter. Otherwise, how could they have controlled the situation so stably.
Yin Enci held a white brocade robe in her hand, walked slowly to Chu Nanzhi, personally put the robe on her shoulders, and nodded happily: "Girl, thank you for your hard work."
"My ancestors and Your Majesty were not informed in advance, so I am deeply frightened."
Being so concerned by her, Chu Nanzhi felt warm in her heart. Thinking that Princess Heshu had done such an earth-shattering thing without telling her, he was a little afraid that she would blame him.
"You are right. This kind of thing is really unpredictable, so there is no need to make people panic."
Yin Enci expressed relief in a deep voice.
Although she had a premonition that the palace would be unstable in the near future, she never imagined that thieves would choose to attack on the eve of the year-end festival.
But when Queen Mother Tian Yuchan realized what was going on, she felt extremely dissatisfied. She looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, and accused her in a strange way: "My nephew-in-law is such a scheming person. She actually trapped me with my ancestors and His Majesty."
It would be too inappropriate to use the palace as a bait."
"That's right, brothers and sisters, if I hadn't arrived in time, how would I have been able to deal with the late emperor and my father if my mother, queen, ancestor, and brother were involved."
Thinking about how this woman had blocked him outside the palace just now, Lin Jinke became very dissatisfied and started to attack her.
"Brother Wang, are you afraid that the drunkard is out of the bar?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Lin Jinke and the Queen Mother with cold eyes.
Lin Jinke, however, pretended to be indifferent and defended: "How do you say this? Naturally, I am thinking about the safety of my brother, ancestors and mother, so I thought of leaving the city to ask for help."
"enough."
Yin Enci couldn't see the little thoughts of the mother and son. She glanced at the mother and son angrily and said loudly: "You still think the palace is not chaotic enough?"
Lin Jinke was most afraid of this old woman. After being scolded, she immediately shut up and had to look at Tian Yuchan secretly.
"Ancestor, calm down."
Tian Yuchan put on a smile: "My wife-in-law just thinks that Princess Pingning shouldn't hide it from everyone, but she saved everyone's danger today, and I am really grateful to her in my heart."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a deliberate smile and continued: "A few days ago, this kid Rui Yin bumped into Rui Xi, the second child of Jin Xiao's family. I would like to apologize to my niece-in-law."
"The Empress Dowager speaks harshly."
Looking at her hypocritical face, Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly: "It's all just children's fun, but someone with ulterior motives almost took advantage of it. Fortunately, there was no danger, and I have to thank the Queen Mother for it."
of magnanimity.”
"Where, where."
Tian Yuchan also waved her hand politely: "As an elder, I can still distinguish right from wrong."
At this time, Yin Enci had no time to listen to this woman's pretentiousness. She walked straight to Yang Runchen and stared at him with deep eyes. At this moment, the hatred in her heart finally broke out without any concealment:
"Tell me, Yang Situ, and tell me everything about how you persecuted the late prince and planned to assassinate the old King Qinghe."
Before, she just felt that Yang Runchen was inseparable from the events of that year, but the death of the old Ting Wei Zhang Lu and today's mutiny made her completely realize that the person behind the series of tragedies that year was actually this old fox.
"The matter has come to this, why do we need to ask any more questions, my ancestors? I am ashamed of my late prince, and I am willing to die today to apologize."
As he said that, Yang Runchen changed the topic: "It's just that our ancestors shouldn't have taken advantage of His Majesty's confusion to invite Lin Tingxian to go eastward, causing the clan bloodline in Jingling City to be squeezed and suppressed. How should our ancestors respond?"
The heroic spirit of the late Emperor lives in the past, so I killed Lin Tingxian in order to uphold the orthodoxy of the royal bloodline."
"What, it was the Emperor Ting'an who you killed?"
Lin Tingkai looked shocked.
Although he coveted the high position, he had always admired the former prince in his heart. He never thought that the culprit who killed the former prince would be his close adviser.
