"Everyone stop!" Xia Huanyu's voice suddenly sounded like thunder on the ground amid the panic, "Whoever dares to take another step or shout one more sentence will be killed without mercy."
The garden, which was in chaos just now, suddenly became quiet.
Xia Huanyu turned his head and looked at Luo Qingyan, "Where is the tallest and most conspicuous place in the prince's residence?"
Luo Qingyan turned his gaze and looked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang's smile was still light and faint, as if the voices outside no longer existed, "Back to Your Majesty, the Fengbo Pavilion opposite is the tallest and most conspicuous."
Xia Huanyu nodded, turned around and looked at the people in the garden, "Aren't they going to kill me? I will stand in the most conspicuous place in the prince's house. If you have the ability, come and kill me. Lead the way..."
Luo Qingyan nodded, turned to look at the surrounding guards, and said in a slightly cold voice, "You guys should protect everyone here." After saying that, he and Yun Shang got on the boat and went to the Fengbo Pavilion on the opposite side.
Everyone then saw Xia Huanyu taking Queen Hua, Luo Qingyan, and Yun Shang who was holding the child together to board the Fengbo Pavilion opposite. The shouts of death outside continued, but it was Duke Hua who laughed.
He laughed and said, "I haven't seen a traitor come in after shouting for so long. It's really loud thunder but little rain. Since Your Majesty is not afraid, what are we afraid of? We are still drinking when we are drunk."
There were guards around, and everyone felt a little calmer, so they also sat down. Only some women were trembling all over and their faces were pale, as if they were extremely scared.
After less than half an hour, the shouts of killing continued, as if they were always around the Prince's Mansion. However, just as Hua Guogong said, there were only sounds, but no one came in from the beginning to the end.
Duke Hua's complexion became worse and worse.
No, I always feel that something is wrong. Listening to the shouts and the sound of horse hooves outside, there are a lot of people, but why are they just shouting and not taking action? If they are afraid of the guards in the prince's mansion, why are they bluffing outside? Is it possible?
Just to scare them?
Thinking this, Duke Hua couldn't sit still. He stood up and said to the Duke's wife, "I'll go out and take a look."
The Duke's wife knew his temperament, so she didn't stop him. She just nodded and said, "Be careful and bring more guards."
Before Hua Guogong walked out of the garden, he saw a man dressed like a guard running over and shouting loudly: "No, no, no, the rebels have already invaded the palace, and the city has been surrounded by rebels.
."
Everyone was shocked again, but they were wary of the guards around them. They only dared to whisper and did not dare to make loud noises. However, Hua Guogong had already pulled out the sword from the guard's waist and stabbed him in the chest.
.The guard's eyes were so wide open that he fell to the ground dead before he could recover.
Duke Hua sneered, his voice like a bell: "I have been in the court for so many years, and I have never seen a guard wearing cloth shoes. I'm afraid it's too late to change shoes. Don't be deceived, and don't panic. Wait.
I'll go out and take a look. The Imperial Guard and the Royal Forest Army are all in the city. How can it be so easy for someone to break into the palace? What a joke!"
In the Fengbo Pavilion, Xia Huanyu and the others had already set up a new banquet, sat down and started drinking. Liu Wen'an got out of the Fengbo Pavilion, returned to the garden with a smile, and said loudly: "The Imperial Guards and the Royal Forest Army have been mobilized, soon
We will be here soon, ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured."
Liu Wen'an glanced at Hua'er, who quickly waved her hand, and then a dancing girl jumped up from the promenade on both sides of the lake, landed on the stage in the lake, and danced gracefully.
No one noticed that among the crowd, several people looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of pride in their expressions.
When everyone present heard Liu Wen'an say that the Royal Guards and Imperial Guards were coming, they put their hearts back to where they were before. However, no one knew that a thrilling battle was taking place in the palace behind closed palace doors.
war.
There were many corpses of palace people lying in the imperial garden. The concubines were escorted into the imperial garden by a group of men in black with swords. They were all delicate women. They had never seen such a heroic scene. They were naturally frightened.
I was so scared that my whole body was trembling.
In the Tai Chi Hall, hundreds of people were standing there. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a curtain hat. He raised his head and looked around at the magnificent pillars in the Tai Chi Hall. He quickly walked up the steps and carefully touched the high platform.
On the dragon chair above, the armrest was the dragon's head. He leaned down and touched it gently with squinted eyes, then laughed, "Haha, this world is mine."
After saying that, he turned around and sat on the chair.
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The hundreds of people in black below all knelt down and shouted long live. When the man on the dragon chair heard the words, he laughed again, held his head high and raised his chest slightly.
He raised his hand and lowered his voice: "Everyone loves me."
Everyone stood up. The person on the dragon chair looked at everyone in the palace and said again: "Queen, no, where is the eldest princess?"
The person standing at the front quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is in Weiyang Palace."
"Weiyang Palace?" The person on the dragon chair frowned, and his voice was a bit colder: "This woman just doesn't have the courage, she has already been snatched away, why are you still going to see it? Wait for me to ascend the throne and take Weiyang to the throne.
The palace will give it to her. Why don't you hurry up and invite the eldest princess to come and ask her where the dog emperor's jade seal is hidden? Let's get the jade seal quickly and then we can give orders to the officials."
"Yes." The man in black responded quickly and hurriedly left the Tai Chi Hall.
In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there was a woman standing with her back to the door. Her eyes were scanning every furnishing in Weiyang Palace. At the entrance of the main hall, several palace people were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing: "Queen
Your Majesty, please spare your life, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please spare your life, the slaves and maids have no choice but to do so. Your Majesty loves that foxy child, and if the slaves do anything wrong at all, they will be dragged down and beheaded."
"The slaves originally thought that it would be good to stay in Weiyang Palace. It would be best if they had the opportunity to help the empress get rid of that Hu Meizi. But they didn't expect that Hu Meizi was so defensive, and everyone around her was
Among the palace servants who were rewarded by His Majesty, the one who is serving you personally is still the maid who is currently with the Crown Princess." Another palace maid hurriedly followed.
"Oh? Really?" The woman turned around with a serious smile on her face. There was no cover on her face. Her face was clear and she looked exactly like the assassin who had just assassinated the princess in the prince's palace and was killed in one fell swoop.
"Why did I hear that you did your best to serve the new queen? You are even more dedicated than when you served me before." Su Ruji sneered and flicked her sleeves. There was an extra pair of blue and white porcelain on the table.
The tea cup fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, which made the people kneeling at the door of the temple couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Didn't you expect that I would be able to return to the palace alive? Huh?" Su Ruji's smile became colder and colder, and she glanced around the palace again, "His Majesty really loves her very much. This pair of painted paintings
I like the peony vase very much, but even after asking for it several times, Your Majesty never gave it to me. Now it is sitting in this corner gathering dust, haha..."
Su Ruji turned her head and said, "No wonder you are trying your best to please her."
"Do you know what I hate most?" Su Ruji turned around and gently touched the red sandalwood carved table with her bright red hand.
The people kneeling at the entrance of the palace trembled slightly and shook their heads.
"You have been serving me for a long time, more than ten or twenty years, and you don't even know what I hate. I am really disappointed. I am kind-hearted, so I might as well tell you, I
The most annoying thing is the grass on the wall." Su Ruji sneered and said loudly: "Someone, pull these useless things down and kill them."
"My queen, have mercy on me, my queen, please spare your life." There were screams, begging for mercy, and cries.
Su Ruji's smile became a little colder, and she pinched a mark on the rosewood with her pointed fingers, "The land that I hate the most is filled with other people's things."
A report came from the door of the palace, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, Your Majesty orders you to go to Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible."
"Eldest Princess?" Su Ruji couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was a bit cold, "I worked so hard to plan, but I never thought that in the end, I would be demoted one level. It's really a joke."
At the end of the sentence, there was no smile at all.
Su Ruji raised her hand to straighten her clothes and said calmly: "Did father ask me to look for the jade seal?"
The guard quickly responded: "Exactly."
Su Ruji nodded, glanced at Weiyang Palace for the last time, and then said calmly: "Let's go." After saying that, she walked out of the main gate of Weiyang Palace.
When they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Su Qi had already taken off his curtain hat, and was marveling at the pattern of nine dragons in the sky carved on the wall behind the dragon chair. He clicked his tongue a few times, with a flash of greed in his eyes.
Su Ruji glanced at his back lightly, curled her lips slightly, and slowly walked into the hall, "Father."
Su Qi then put down her hand, calmed down her expression slightly, turned around and smiled warmly, "Ruji is here? Come on, tell daddy, where is the jade seal hidden?"
The desire in Su Qi's eyes was too strong. Su Ruji lowered her head, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Dad just looked there for so long, why didn't you find the jade seal? The jade seal is in the wall you touched just now.
ah."
When Su Qi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around again, carefully touching the wall with the carving of a flying dragon in the sky, and after a while he said, "No?"
Su Ruji slowly climbed up the stairs and stood next to the dragon chair. She stretched out her hand and touched the dragon ball in the dragon's mouth on the armrest of the dragon chair. She turned it around slightly, and the wall suddenly moved.
