The Queen Mother showed a sullen look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "The strong are like clouds, and the blood is like rivers. What do they think of this place? How could it be so?"
The old eunuch sighed: "It's a pity that no one can stop it. The forces on both sides are very powerful. Even if Princess Yanshan went to mediate, it would not work."
The Queen Mother nodded, "It seems that the only option is to use the power of the Protector of the State. Yunzhen, go and get the imperial edict from the late emperor."
"Yes." The old palace maid next to her agreed softly, took out a beautifully carved brocade box from the cabinet, opened it, and took out the scroll inside, her face filled with awe.
"Let's go, let's go to the National Guard Prison."
Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids, the Queen Mother left the palace and took the Fenghu to that very special place, the northernmost part of the palace, where the Protector of the Country is located.
This place is equivalent to a forbidden area in the palace, and no one is allowed to enter casually. The large-scale building complex is like a temple. The eunuchs who practice here are all talented eunuchs. They usually live in seclusion and receive support. Only when they really need it, they will obey the instructions of King Yan. That is to say, except for the king of a country, even the queen mother cannot dispatch them.
A group of people came to the Protectorate Prison, and a eunuch went in to report. After a while, a group of people came out, all old men wearing eunuch costumes. The oldest one was over two hundred years old, and he was the director of the Protectorate Prison, who was responsible for The old man with a withered face and wrinkles all over his face came forward and saluted and said: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Dozens of old eunuchs from behind also came to greet them. The Queen Mother waved her hands and said: "Without courtesy, Manager Lin, now that His Majesty has passed away and the court is in turmoil, and a fight is going on outside the palace, the Ai family has no choice but to use the power of the Protector of the Country. I hope you can turn the tide. I also know that only the king can dispatch you, so I have brought you the late emperor’s edict, please read it.”
The old palace maid named Yunzhen came forward, handed over the scroll she was carrying on the tray, and said loudly: "Lin Pu, the supervisor of the National Protectorate, accepts the order."
The steward knelt down first, as did the dozens of eunuchs behind him. Lin Pu then took the imperial edict and opened it to read. It read: "In times of crisis in the palace, Queen Mother Zhou Laihuan has the right to mobilize the imperial eunuchs to protect the country. You must obey."
Seeing that the edict was indeed written by the late emperor himself, Lin Pulang said: "This slave accepts the edict."
The Queen Mother nodded, with a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. She felt that the late emperor had really had the foresight to do so. Thanks to the edict he had left behind, otherwise it would have been difficult to mobilize the Imperial Guard.
Everyone headed towards the palace gate. The eunuch carried Feng Hu and trotted away, followed by more than ten palace maids and dozens of members of the Imperial Guard, all with solemn expressions.
The shouts of killing outside were loud, and the teams from both sides fought desperately. Blood was flying and corpses were lying everywhere. It was like a hell on earth.
Gong Shuyuan was also in danger in mid-air. The giant python surrounding him was damaged and he was barely able to defend himself. A bloody gash appeared on his left arm. He had a gloomy face as he faced off against seven members of the Immortal Sword Sect. He was almost unable to hold on.
Qiu Yu and other strong men were also fighting vigorously, and they did not gain much advantage. After all, their opponents were outnumbered and it was not easy to defeat them. So far, they were evenly matched.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps from behind, Princess Yanshan and others turned their heads and saw that the Queen Mother and others were approaching. Feng Zhu stopped, and the Prime Minister and others all knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother."
Twenty meters away from the opposite side, King Yun, who was sitting on a giant tiger, had lightning eyes. He didn't care about his mother coming out, but he looked at the dozens of old eunuchs following behind him. He couldn't help but be surprised. How could the guardian eunuch be so strong? The soldiers also came out?
Before the mutiny, Ji Wuji had not considered guarding the country, because the old eunuchs there were extremely advanced. Fortunately, they only obeyed the orders of the king alone. Neither Concubine Yan nor the prime minister had the right to dispatch them. In other words, even Even the Imperial Protector couldn't get in, so he gave it a try.
Unexpectedly, all those old guys came out with the Queen Mother now. Ji Wuji couldn't help but frown, feeling that the matter was getting more and more difficult. He didn't know whether the people who protected the country would take any action, so he could only wait and see what would happen.
The vermilion palace door was open, and a shadow enveloped Feng Zhu and everyone. The Queen Mother's cold eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials, and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have Aijia in your eyes? It is the day of great mourning for the king. , no one grieved, but he led troops into the city with the intention of rebelling, what crime should be committed?"
A group of officials looked at each other, and Prime Minister Lang Haohan said hurriedly: "Please tell me, Queen Mother, King Yun led troops into the capital first, and wanted to enter the palace. Thanks to the imperial guard who fought to the death, Qiu Yu, the commander of the capital, led his troops to come to support."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "What you say is better than what you sing. Who knows what you have in mind."
Lang Haohan said in fear: "I don't dare."
The Queen Mother no longer paid attention to him, looked forward, and said in a deep voice: "The Ai family has shown up, can't we make you stop fighting?"
Princess Ji Yurong of Yanshan scolded: "Stop fighting, stop everything..."
After hearing this, Qiu Yu also let out a loud roar to attract the attention of his officers and soldiers, and then ordered: "Everyone retreat!"
The military orders were overwhelming. Both the regular army led by Ouyang Lunwei and the rabble led by Ji Ye all retreated. Duhar, the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, also ordered his men to retreat...
King Yun was still a little afraid of the Protector of the Kingdom. Now that the Queen Mother had come out, he wanted to see how to deal with it. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step back." Then he shouted to the head of the Immortal Sword Sect in the air, "Qinghong Master Zi, please step aside and let that guy go first."
Now that the Immortal Sword Sect has completely gained the upper hand, Gong Shuyuan has been injured, and he is planning to kill the opponent in one go. However, King Yun’s order has to be obeyed. Qinghongzi also made a gesture, and the seven of them retreated at the same time, and then they resorted to killing each other. With one blow, the seven swords swayed out and condensed the sharp edges of various colors in the air, running towards the enemy like a rainbow. It was really gorgeous, and it hid the murderous intent. The strength of the seven of them gathered on it, and it was extremely fierce.
At the critical moment, Gong Shuyuan also risked his life. He suddenly struck out the whip in his hand, and a nine-headed python appeared in the air, six feet long. The body of the python was colorful, and the nine heads in front were extremely ferocious, with its mouth wide open. Dance, the whole giant python rushes towards the colorful rainbow.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded and felt extremely terrifying. They also made a judgment in their hearts and felt that the power attached to the colorful rainbow was more powerful and should be more domineering.
Lin Pu, the director of the National Guard who was on the ground, frowned. He felt that a bunch of guys were going too far, so he resorted to such a big move. It would be bad if it disturbed the Queen Mother. Based on this, he suddenly swung out his arms, gold and silver. Two strands of sharp light swayed out from the sleeves. The farther they spread upward, the larger they spread. Finally, they formed a vast ocean-like shape, with sparkling waves and extremely fast speed. Before the nine-headed giant python could collide with the colorful rainbow, it was directly hit. It's wrapped up in it.
