Chapter 209: The Rebels Have Invaded the Imperial City!
When everyone saw that it was done, Junjie nodded to Su Hu. Su Hu bowed his head and accepted the order, "I obey the order!!" After saying this, he retreated.
Just as Su Hu left, Dugu Cheng fainted from weakness. Concubine Yin's face turned pale with shock. Wushan Junjie said: "Concubine, please grab this silver needle, the emperor cannot die now."
Concubine Yin quickly grabbed the silver needle and nodded repeatedly.
Junjie stood up and took out a dagger from the medicine box and said: "This is Duguhong's personal belongings. When he meets Duguhong and enters the palace, he will pull out the silver needle and insert the dagger into the emperor's chest."
Concubine Yin didn't expect Junjie to say something so direct and explicit. She glanced at Dugu City worriedly and said in surprise: "Who...is this what you mean? Is it what Chen'er means?"
Junjie looked away, put away the silver needle, and said nothing.
Concubine Yin suddenly trembled in shock, "Is it...her?"
Junjie glanced at Concubine Yin and said coldly: "My concubine, my master already knew about the little princess back then. Now the overall situation has been decided. I hope your concubine will not go against the will of heaven and take my leave."
After saying that, Junjie handed over his hands, picked up the medicine box and walked out.
Looking at Junjie's leaving figure, Concubine Yin trembled in fear. She turned back to look at Dugu City, and saw that although Dugu City was groggy, he was still conscious. His chin was trembling slightly, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
Concubine Yin wiped away her tears and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me...and don't blame Qingyi. We have no choice. It's either life or death. If we can't live, we will die...We...have no choice."
…”
Tears kept falling from the corners of Dugu Cheng's eyes, but he could no longer speak.
…
Late at night, in the Three Princes' Mansion, the housekeeper hurried in from outside the door and shouted anxiously: "Something happened, get up quickly, get up!! Something happened!!!"
The butler's voice echoed in the silent courtyard. After a moment, the courtyard was brightly lit. Duguhong walked out of the room. Seeing everyone in a panic, he frowned and said, "What happened?"
The housekeeper ran to Duguhong and said: "My lord, it's not good! There are rebels who assassinated the seventh master and the ninth master. Now they have invaded the imperial city. Concubine Liu Guifei has been caught by the enemy!!!"
Duguhong was shocked, but quickly calmed down, "Where did you hear this? How is it possible?"
There are many guards in this imperial city, not to mention that I have many spies in the capital, but I have never heard any news about traitors and traitors. How come that suddenly even Lao Qi and Lao Jiu assassinated me, and even attacked the imperial city?
!
Just as he was doubting, a dark figure flashed from the roof. He had never seen him so anxious before, let alone coming late at night without being summoned. Duguhong clenched his fists, turned around and said to Liuhen:
"What's going on?"
Liu Hen's head was covered with sweat and he said: "The Ninth Prince was indeed assassinated. He was hit by an arrow in the chest and his life is in danger!"
His life is at stake... Even Liu Hen said this, so he must be right.
He might not have believed it if the arrow had missed a little bit, but it was precisely the fatal arrow. If it was a conspiracy, it would be impossible for Dugu Che to risk his life to conspire, and no one would be able to let Dugu Che take his life.
From this point of view, it was his own negligence that allowed the rebels to take advantage of such a big loophole.
At this time, several officials rushed over without even bothering to salute. One of the old ministers said: "Third Prince, hurry up and rescue us. The rebels have already invaded the imperial city!"
"I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to lead my troops privately. I don't know how injured my seventh brother is?" He finally kept a cautious eye and did not dare to act rashly. There were too many traps in the battle to seize the throne, so he must be cautious.
