Gu Yanxi helped the person to sit aside, and Lai Fu immediately asked people to clean up.
"Send some lighter meals over." Thinking of the sour and crispy appetizers she had eaten at the Hua family, Gu Yanxi thought about going back to ask for some to bring into the palace. The emperor's uncle was in poor health now, and he had just lost his golden elixir, so he was afraid that he would have no appetite for anything.
Shaoyao looked up, "Brother Yan, I need to stay in the palace for some time."
"Okay, you can live in the side hall. I'll ask Grandmother for two people to follow you."
Shaoyao didn't care about all this. She put the pulse diagnosis log and recipe book from the Imperial Hospital together, turned to the same day, and then turned backwards at the same time.
Gu Yanxi did not bother her, but knelt down and asked the emperor, "I need..."
Just as he said this, the emperor stretched out his hand and opened his palm. This is...
"I'll give you the tiger talisman. All the troops in the capital will obey your orders." He grabbed his nephew's hand and put the tiger talisman into his palm, gently covering it, patted it, and said, "Use it well. I'll leave my uncle's life and property to you."
Gu Yanxi bit the tip of her tongue and said, "Yes, I will... protect you."
Just for your trust, I would repay you with my life!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yanxi stood up, put on his mask and walked out the door, raising the tiger talisman in his hand, "Everyone, listen to my orders."
The commander of the imperial guards gasped. The emperor actually gave the tiger talisman to someone else
His heart was in turmoil, but his movements were not slow at all. He knelt on one knee with his hand on the hilt of the knife, "Fu Gang, listen to my order."
The seven officials hiding in the dark and the secret guards under the emperor's command also appeared one by one and knelt on the ground, waiting for orders.
"Three palaces, six halls, and twelve courtyards, all people must return to their respective positions. You are not allowed to move around at will. Once caught, you will be treated as a spy!" Gu Yanxi's eyes swept across the palace roof that could be seen not far away. "The ladies of each palace and the princes and princesses in the palace are all subject to this rule."
"yes."
"Fu Gang, you go to the four princes' houses in person and tell them to close the doors and wait for the emperor to summon you. Before that, you are not allowed to leave the house."
Fu Gang has been the commander of the Imperial Guard for four years. This is the first time he has witnessed the power of the commander of the Seven Stars. Right at the door of the imperial study, right under the emperor's nose, he dared to give such an order no matter whether it was the concubines or the princes!
Overstepping the mark? Of course it was overstepping the mark. If it were someone else, ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to die!
But this man is the chief of the Seven Stars Division, so even if the princes and concubines are angry, they have to endure it!
The Qishusi of the Daqing Dynasty has always been an existence second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. The commander of the Qishusi has never let the emperor down.
Fu Gang was able to become the commander of the Imperial Guard, so his family was definitely not ordinary. On his first day in office, his father called him to the study. The father did not remind him of anything to pay attention to, nor did he tell him what he should do. He just emphasized on talking to him about the Qixiu Division and gave him a warning: he must listen to the words of the leader of the Qixiu Division as if they were the words of the emperor!
So at this moment, he deserved a crisp sound.
Gu Yanxi continued to make arrangements. "Order the North Camp to take over the city defense and strictly investigate all suspicious persons. The East and West Camps will camp outside the city and be ready to be deployed at any time. The Central Camp will guard the imperial palace."
Fu Gang looked up fiercely. The Central Camp had taken over the Imperial Palace. What would happen to the Imperial Guards? But the next words really frightened him.
"South Camp, guard the prince's palace."
They say they are guards, but they are actually watchers! Fu Gang's palms were wet and he swallowed the words he wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the guards.
"Guards, follow me to get him."
Fu Gang paused and replied.
Gu Yanxi glanced at him and was satisfied with his reaction. The Imperial Guards were a group of young masters' soldiers. Of course, their abilities were real, otherwise they could not be the last line of defense to protect the Emperor.
Behind each of them is a family, some of which are prominent or once prominent. Among the people he wants to move this time, there may be old friends in their family, and he cannot keep these people in the palace.
He also wanted to see if these people had anything to do with this incident. If he wanted to clean it up, he had to do it thoroughly once and for all. Such an opportunity would only come once, and he would never allow it to appear again.
"Laifu."
Lai Fu lowered his hands respectfully by his side and said, "I am here, your servant."
"You go see the Queen Mother in person, plead guilty on my behalf, and ask her to take charge of the harem."
"I obey your command."
"Xiao Wu."
"I am here."
"Mobilize all the troops in the First Division to protect the emperor. Anyone who comes uninvited will be killed on the spot." Gu Yanxi was full of murderous aura, "Remember, anyone!"
"I obey your command."
Gu Yanxi raised his hand and put on his hood. Although the sun was shining brightly, he felt cold all over.
This is the life-and-death struggle in the palace. Here, everyone is an opponent, and fathers are not fathers and sons are not sons.
He clenched the tiger talisman tightly in his palm, causing pain. This was the imperial power that could shake the whole world with one order. Everyone was rushing to get it, but he just wanted to stay away, sit opposite the person he loved in that small courtyard, drink a pot of tea, hold a book, and spend the whole afternoon.
"Let's act." The Qixiu Criminal Hall has not been opened for a long time, and it's time to see blood.
"Yes." Fu Gang immediately went to gather the Royal Guards. After he walked away, he turned around and looked at the masked man standing with his hands behind his back. The wind made his cloak crackle. Just looking at him from a distance made people feel that this man was probably cold and resolute in all his bones.
There is going to be bloodshed in the capital.
But so what? The Daqing Dynasty has been in existence for 170 years, and the chaos that has occurred has never been related to the Seven Stars Division, and this time is no exception.
In the Empress Dowager's Fushou Palace, Lai Fu knelt on the ground and repeated the prince's words word for word.
The Queen Mother listened quietly and did not ask any more questions. "I know. Please tell the Crown Prince that there will be no chaos in the palace."
"I obey your command." Lai Fu bowed again, "If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
As soon as the others left, Yuxiang's expression changed a little, "Madam, this..."
"The first time Yan Xi had such an outburst was when his mother passed away and Shaoyao almost couldn't be saved. He endured it because of me. The second time was when those people who didn't trust anyone used despicable means to put people in his room. He endured it for the emperor. It's good that he can have an outburst this time."
The Queen Mother turned the jade ring on her little finger, her eyes full of coldness, "There was such a big fuss before, even Shaoyao was brought into the palace. I'm afraid the matter is related to the Emperor. If someone doesn't want to live, why should I stop him?"
Yuxiang was a maidservant that the Queen Mother had brought with her since her mother's home. She had not left even when she was allowed to marry. She had always stayed by the Queen Mother's side. She had been trusted by the Queen Mother for decades, so she naturally knew a lot. At this moment, she whispered, "It seems to me that she has something to do with the imperial concubine or the prince. Once this is dealt with..."
"It's just that those who deserve to be abolished are abolished, those who deserve to die die, they bring it upon themselves, and others are blamed." The Queen Mother stood up, "Change clothes."
PS: I have discovered that Kong Kong has a die-hard fan. She loves Kong Kong very much, likes to comment, and also likes to reply to other people's comments. However, she is born with the skill of sarcasm. Even though she likes Kong Kong, she will still sarcastically mock him from time to time. But this cannot hide her love for Kong Kong. Are there any girls who can identify with this
