"Your Majesty, things are getting a little out of control. That person must be the bat of Jingzhao Mansion. Concubine Li has started to take action."
Yuyao also wants to find out who the eunuch the bat was chasing just now is.
But one thing is certain, the assassin is Li Guangliang's man, and behind this is the instigation of Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was impatient.
The queen sat on the couch, her face turned pale, and murmured to herself: "It seems that it is necessary to report this matter to King Ming. I'm afraid it will not be enough to instigate rebellion against the imperial army."
Previously, the queen did not want to alarm Shi Le because she was worried that Concubine Li had little plum hidden in the palace, which would prove her pregnancy.
Now the queen can't care so much. Concubine Li may take action at any time, and so can Shi Yuncheng.
If they lead troops to attack by force, or assassinate like tonight, the queen will have no power to fight back.
With the evidence of tonight's assassination, the queen is sure to kill Concubine Li.
As for Shi Yuncheng, as long as Shi Le's royal life is in hand, he will never dare to do anything without permission. He can slowly take care of things in the future.
Yuyao also felt that the situation was urgent and could not just wait for the deputy commander Yan Xifeng.
"Shall I send a message to Guancheng now? Or send a message to His Highness the Crown Prince, asking him to bring troops back?"
Yuyao asked the queen what she meant. The queen thought for a while and decided that her son was more reliable.
If the matter is exposed, it is impossible for Shi Haoran to kill his biological mother.
Shi Le is different. If he finds out, things will be very difficult to handle.
"Send a message to Wu City and ask the prince to quietly lead the troops back. Be quick!"
The queen made up her mind that it would be better to let Shi Haoran come back.
Yuyao accepted the order and was just about to go out when she heard the report from the palace maid that Yan Xifeng was asking for an audience at the back door.
The queen frowned and said strangely: "Why are you here at this time? Go and have a look!"
Yuyao goes out immediately
After a while, Yuyao hurried in, closed the door, and said with a pale face: "Mother, something is very wrong."
The queen asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Yuyao said: "Just now Yan Xifeng said that Zhou Hao captured the Crown Princess's personal maid Fu Rong."
The queen asked strangely: "What did they catch Fleur for?"
Furong is just the Crown Princess's maid and has no value.
Yuyao said: "The crown prince heard that the empress was in poor health, that there was an undercurrent in the royal city, and that the concubine and the second prince had evil intentions. She sent Furong to deliver a message to Wu City, asking His Royal Highness to return troops to rescue her."
"But on the way, Furong was intercepted and killed by Murong Hua, the headman of the Jingzhao Mansion. The Imperial Army sent by Zhou Hao killed Murong Hua and took Furong to the Imperial Army Yamen for interrogation."
"This gang of rebellious officials and traitors are so audacious that they dare to openly intercept and kill the messenger. We can't get out at all now."
Just now, the queen was thinking of sending a message to Shi Haoran, but Furong was intercepted and killed by both sides, and was finally captured alive and taken back to the Forbidden Army Yamen.
This shows that the royal city has been blocked by people from both sides, and the queen has become a turtle in the jar.
“Too bad”
The queen was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped on the couch, her eyes filled with despair and anger.
Yuyao was so confused that she couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
"What to do, what to do"
The queen murmured to herself
Yuyao couldn't think of a way, and finally said: "Queen, we can only take over the forbidden army. If we cannot control the forbidden army, we will lose everything."
Yuyao didn't want to say she was killed, it would be too unlucky.
The queen got up and asked: "Can Yan Xifeng control the imperial army? Is he sure?"
Yuyao was silent for a moment and said: "He said that Zhou Hao has deep roots in the Forbidden Army, and with the second prince in charge, it will not be easy to accomplish this matter."
The queen finally understood. What Yan Xifeng meant was that there was no way, at least it was difficult to do.
The queen was very anxious, but she had no idea what to do.
If she was just angry and uneasy before, now she truly feels the threat of life and death.
The people sent by the imperial concubine were intercepted and killed on the way, the royal city was sealed off, and she was left alone, with her life and death in the hands of Concubine Li Guifei and Shi Yuncheng.
"Tell Yan Xifeng to do everything possible to seize the imperial army. After this is accomplished, I promise to grant him the title of Marquis!"
The queen is really anxious, and she wants to get the imperial army at all costs.
Yuyao said in embarrassment: "Mother, it's not that Yan Xifeng refuses, it's that he can't do it."
"Zhou Hao has commanded the Imperial Army for many years, and the second prince has a royal mandate. Yan Xifeng said it would be difficult."
The queen was so anxious that she kept sighing.
After thinking for a long time, the queen suddenly said: "Call Liu Feng, isn't he very resourceful? Ask him what he can do!"
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment. She felt that the queen was ill and had to seek medical treatment. Liu Feng was just a little imperial doctor and could not come up with any clever ideas.
But the matter has come to this point, a dead horse is a living horse, and I can't think of a good way, so I can only ask Long Chen to find a way.
"Mother, it's very late."
It's late at night, Yuyao wants to talk about it tomorrow.
The queen said angrily: "Why are you so late? Do you want to wait to die?"
Things have reached such a point that the queen can't control the time. She wants to see Long Chen immediately, immediately!
Yuyao immediately sent someone to Liu Mansion to convey an order for Long Chen to enter the palace immediately.
After they left, Yuyao accompanied the queen in the bedroom, waiting for Long Chen to enter the palace.
Jingzhao Mansion.
The assassin bat flew past the palace wall, returned to the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion, and entered Li Guangliang's room.
Under the candlelight, Li Guangliang was still waiting anxiously for Murong Hua to return.
After being out for so long, Murong Hua has not returned yet. Li Guangliang is worried that something will happen to Murong Hua.
Logically speaking, Murong Hua, as an old catcher, behaves calmly and ruthlessly, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The imperial concubine's maid Fu Rong was not very skilled, so it was easy for Murong Hua to capture her.
The bat entered the room through the window, and Li Guangliang immediately asked: "How? Is it him? Have you killed him?"
Bat bowed his head and bowed: "It's him, right. He is the little plum who escaped from the imperial concubine's palace, but his subordinate made a mistake."
Li Guangliang thought he heard wrongly and asked: "I missed it? How could I miss it? Isn't it just a little eunuch?"
Bat scratched his head and said, "My subordinate, the guy ran away at that time. There were too many guards in the palace."
On the way back, Bat kept thinking, was it a coincidence or intentional?
Every time he takes a shot, the opponent can dodge it accurately.
It looked like he was panicking, but in fact he avoided the attacks every time, which was perfect.
Could it be that this little plum is a hidden master?
But if you are a master, why don't you fight back?
When the bat assassinated him just now, Xiao Lizi kept running away and didn't fight back at all.
The bat couldn't understand.
Li Guangliang sighed: "You, you missed it at the most critical moment!"
The bat bowed his head and said nothing.
He did not tell Li Guangliang that he had left several corpses in the Queen's Palace. Based on the wounds on the corpses, he could quickly find the bat heads.
Outside the door, a policeman walked in, and the bat immediately went out from the window.
"Lord Fu Yin, it's not good!"
The policeman walked in in panic, and Li Guangliang asked: "What happened?"
He thought the queen came to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble.
The policeman said: "Something may have happened to Mr. Murong!"
Li Guangliang's heart skipped a beat. He was really worried about what might happen. Just now he was wondering if something was wrong with Murong Hua, but he didn't expect it to happen.
