Pu Longqi absently placed a piece on the chessboard. Sima Tai chuckled and said, "Brother, you will definitely lose today!"
Pu Longqi smiled bitterly and said: "I can't play anymore. I'm so upset at the moment!" He stretched out his hand to mess up the chess pieces on the board, with a look of guilt in his eyes: "Aren't we a little sorry for the emperor by doing this?"
Sima Tai's expression was as calm as an ancient well, but his heart was as uneasy as Pu Longqi's. He whispered: "Who do you think the strongest person in the court should be?"
Pronqi replied without thinking: "Adams!"
Sima Tai nodded and said: "The emperor's secret edict was revealed through Huo Gao's mouth. Then who is Huo Gao? What is the purpose of revealing this matter to the prince?"
Pu Longqi whispered: "Xuan Siling is Huo Gao's savior. Most of what Huo Gao did this time was under the instruction of Xuansiling! He revealed the secret edict to Xuan Yuan for the purpose of thinking
Instigate Xuan Yuan to deal with the princess!"
Sima Tai smiled and said: "Your estimate is not wrong at all. If Xuan Yuan attacks the princess, he will fall into the trap they set! If I am not wrong, Adams will definitely take the opportunity to attack and make a fuss about the princess's affairs.
, kill two birds with one stone and eliminate the prince and princess, clearing all obstacles for the eldest princess Xuan Siling to ascend to the throne!"
Pu Longqi sighed and said: "Is this the real reason why you persuaded me to support Prince Xuan Yuan?"
Sima Tai's eyes showed an extremely complex light. He was silent for a while before he said: "As far as the future of the entire empire is concerned, Xuanyuan is the legitimate heir. Our actions are worthy of the emperor. As far as our interests are concerned, if Adams
If your conspiracy succeeds, I'm afraid the two of us will be the first ones to deal with it."
Pulong Qi nodded sympathetically: "The imperial capital still looks calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging behind it, and Adams may suddenly attack at any time!"
Sima Tai said: "King Baoshu disappeared suddenly last night, and a lot of blood stains and traces of a fight were found near the high platform where he paid homage to his dead wife. This incident is enough to prove that Adams has already started taking action. If we don't take decisive measures, we will be completely
At a disadvantage."
Pu Longqi said: "But the princess is innocent after all. In the emperor's heart, she is the suitable heir to the throne. We have harmed her this time!"
Sima Tai sneered and said: "Those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters. Although the princess is deeply loved by the emperor, her temperament is kind and simple, and she is not suitable for controlling the political power of the empire. Although Xuan Yuan is less ambitious and visionary, after all, she is already the prince.
For many years, he has been regarded as the future emperor in the hearts of the people, not to mention judging from this incident, his tactics are decisive and vicious, which is what a king must possess."
Pu Longqi suddenly asked: "Will Xuanyuan use the same tactics to deal with us in the future?"
An enigmatic smile appeared on Sima Tai's face: "He doesn't dare..."
Adams stared at the direction of the imperial city for a long time, his chest rising and falling. The development of the matter was far beyond his imagination. He thought that the overall situation was about to be controlled by him. Unexpectedly, Sima Tai and Pu Longqi suddenly united with a group of old officials to support Xuan Yuan.
This incident completely disrupted his plans.
Qingyue Palace is under siege, and Princess Xuanbo's life or death is uncertain. The eldest princess, Xuan Siling, has not been heard from since she entered the palace. It is hard to say whether it is bad or good.
Without the support of Sima Tai and Pu Longqi, Xuan Yuan is basically a loser. Adams still can't figure out what made Sima Tai, who had always been neutral, firmly stand on Xuan Yuan's side, and what prompted Pu Long, who had always been opposed to Xuan Yuan.
Kai suddenly changed his stance?
Lester quietly came to his father's side: "Father! Manager Huo wants to see you!"
Adams nodded and pointed to the grass pavilion ahead.
Huo Gao came to the grass pavilion with a serious face. When he saw Adams, he sighed and said: "General, the eldest princess is under house arrest by the prince. Why don't you save her?"
Adams did not answer Huo Gao's question, but asked: "How is the situation at Qingyue Palace?"
"The prince asked people to surround the three floors outside and outside the Qingyue Palace, and announced to the outside world that the Tang Hunter Princess had been kidnapped. No one knew the specific situation inside."
Adams laughed: "Xuan Yuan suddenly became smart!"
Huo Gao whispered: "If those two old guys didn't support him, how could he be so bold!"
Adams said: "He does not dare to do anything excessive in a short period of time!" His words seemed to be comforting Huo Gao.
Huo Gao said: "But the eldest princess is already under house arrest by him. If he makes up his mind to kill the princess and then harm the eldest princess, he can eliminate all those who pose a threat to his throne! The general holds the heavy troops of the imperial capital. As long as you say
With the order, we can rush into the imperial city and rescue the eldest princess!"
Adams sneered: "What do you think I am? A traitor? A treason?"
Huo Gao was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
Adams looked at the setting sun in the west. In fact, he had already considered sending troops. However, sending troops now would be tantamount to announcing his rebellion in public. Xuanyuan would definitely make a fuss about this matter. Sending troops was inevitable.
But he was still waiting for the opportunity. He was waiting for the news of the death of Princess Xuanbo or the eldest princess. No matter what happened to either of them, Adams would have a good reason.
From time to time, the panicked screams of the palace maids and chambermaids could be heard in the Qingyue Palace. Firelight and thick smoke rose from all around the Qingyue Palace. Tang Lie and Wanyue were sitting by Princess Xuanbo's bed, looking at each other with unusual solemnity.
Tang Lie already understood in his heart that Xuan Yuan would not give him a chance to survive this time, and neither he nor Xuan Bo would be able to leave Qingyue Palace again.
Princess Xuanbo's eyes hidden under the golden mask showed deep sorrow. For the sake of the throne, Xuan Yuan even ignored the flesh and blood relationship between her brother and sister and tried to burn herself alive in Qingyue Palace.
There were screams outside the window, but they were the screams made by the palace maid who was trying to escape from the palace and was shot by a cold arrow before she died.
"Princess! Find a way to escape quickly, the fire will spread here soon!" Wanyue said in horror.
Princess Xuanbo sighed quietly.
Tang Lie slowly stood up and strode towards the door.
"What are you doing?" Xuan Bo asked softly.
"Anyway, we are all dead. I might as well rush out and give it a try, kill two more and bury them with me!" Tang Lie said loudly. He made a rough estimate and found that there were still ten rounds of bullets in the pistol. If he was lucky, he could kill ten of them.
As an enemy, he might be able to kill that bastard Xuanyuan.
"We will not die!" Xuan Bo's words made Tang Lie stop immediately.
Xuan Bo opened the brocade mattress and pressed lightly on the jade mattress. The bed moved aside with a loud noise, revealing a bottomless hole underneath.
Tang Lie was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that there was a mechanism hidden under the jade collapse. He thought he would definitely die this time, but he didn't expect that things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Xuan Bo picked up the candlestick on the table and walked down to the entrance of the cave first.
Tang Lie and Wan Yue hurriedly followed her, walked down dozens of steps, and came to the turning point.
Hidden by the bed.
Xuan Bo said softly: "This underground passage is reserved for the royal family to escape when necessary. My father confided this secret to me just before going on the expedition. Maybe he had already anticipated what happened today!" There was infinite loneliness in his words.
Tang Lie was still immersed in the joy of escaping from death, and asked in a low voice: "Where does this secret road lead to?"
Xuan Bo shook his head: "I have only gone as far as here, and I don't know where the exit of the secret passage is. However, my father once said that the other opening of this secret passage is in the imperial city. Even if we escape,
, still can’t leave the palace.”
Tang Lie's nerves that had just been relaxed had to be tightened again. If unfortunately the opening was within Xuan Yuan's control, they would still not be able to escape the danger.
The three of them walked zigzag for more than a mile when the candlelight suddenly went out, and their eyes suddenly fell into darkness. Xuan Bo subconsciously stopped, but Tang Lie still didn't stop, and his body bumped into Xuan Bo's soft and delicate body.
On top of her body, Xuan Bo couldn't help but let out a scream, and her pretty face became hot. Fortunately, it was in the dark, so others couldn't see her embarrassment clearly.
Tang Lie whispered: "Is there any fire left?"
Xuan Bo and Wanyue replied at the same time: "No!"
Tang Lie said: "I'm walking in front, you two hold my sleeves to prevent me from getting lost!" As a man, you should be at the front at this time.
Xuan Bo and Wanyue followed behind Tang Lie. In the darkness, his eyes could not see the way forward clearly. Tang Lie relied on his hands to grope forward, instead of bumping into the wall. After groping for about half an hour, he had reached the road.
the end of.
"There is no road ahead!" Tang Lie whispered.
Xuan Bo groped along the wall and found a dragon-shaped relief on the left wall. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "It's here. We only need to turn the faucet one week and we can go out." She touched the position of the faucet in the right place.
She wanted to take action, but Tang Lie grabbed Rou Di. She was ashamed and angry, thinking that Tang Lie was deliberately taking advantage of him. She was about to reprimand when she heard Tang Lie say: "Listen carefully to what's going on outside!"
Only then did I realize that Tang Lie had no other intentions.
Tang Lie put his ear against the wall and listened carefully to what was going on outside. It took him a long time before he raised his head and said, "It's very quiet outside. It should be safe."
Xuan Bo was about to take action when he heard Tang Lie say: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon!" He turned around and ran away.
Xuan Bo was very surprised. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He listened carefully and heard the sound of running water in the distance in the darkness. He immediately understood what Tang Lie was doing. His pretty face immediately turned red. This shameless act
Guy actually peed in front of two girls!
