"You must protect the safety of the emperor. You cannot let him leave this palace. No one can enter without the orders of Master Liu and me!"
Then came the loud reply of the Guards: "Decree!"
With a stiff expression on Li Hai's face, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly felt the darkness before his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Only Eunuch Liu was lying beside Li Hai.
Not long after, the imperial guards took Rong Changan to Ziyan's palace again.
The person who imprisoned Rong Changan has now become a prisoner. Rong Changan doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Li Hai was unconscious on the bed, but his hands were still shaking.
Eunuch Liu knelt down to Rong Changan, tears streaming down his old and wrinkled face, dripping on the cold and hard water-grinded bricks, "Queen, please save the emperor! Save the Li family!"
Rong Chang'an hated Li Hai, but he didn't hate the old man in front of him. His loyalty and simplicity and kindness once touched her, "Eunuch Liu, get up and talk! If you kneel, you will ruin Chang'an!"
"If the queen does not agree to the old slave's request, the old slave will not get up!"
Rong Changan smiled, thinking it was ironic: Li Hai is such a foolish tyrant, such a sullen tyrant, there is such a loyal slave as Eunuch Liu! If Li Hai had listened to the old man's words, why did he do this
But Eunuch Liu begged for Li Hai, but did he know the pain in Rong Changan's heart? And almost all her pain came from Li Hai! Helping Li Hai means harming herself again. Not only that, she also harmed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and her favorite person, Yan Li.
"Elder-in-law, don't embarrass me anymore. Now that the emperor's power is gone, no one can save him."
Eunuch Liu said: "I know that the empress is sharp, tough, and aggressive on the surface, but she is kind, sensitive, and affectionate on the inside. Compared with Ziyan, who is kind, gentle, and affectionate on the surface, but vicious, cold and sinister on the inside, I don't know how many times better. But the emperor trusted Ziyan, but alienated her. Queen."
"But after all, a husband and wife are gracious for a hundred days a day. The queen wants to leave a way for the emperor on the basis of husband and wife's affection. The queen has a good relationship with Prime Minister Yan. As long as the queen says something, Prime Minister Yan will definitely withdraw. As long as Prime Minister Yan withdraws, then The emperor is still the emperor, and the Great Jing Kingdom is still the same Great Jing Kingdom."
Eunuch Liu only started from Li Hai, without considering Rong Changan's situation at all. If Yan Li retreats, Li Hai will definitely fight back in the future. Even if Eunuch Liu kneels and kowtows to Li Hai, Li Hai will not spare the lives of Rong Changan and Yan Li.
But Rong Changan didn't want to say too much, but Qi Zhuchun said: "I can't do anything now, I hope Eunuch Liu will forgive me!"
Eunuch Liu's dim old eyes suddenly despaired to the end: "Queen, really... really can't help the emperor anymore?"
Rong Changan didn't want to see Eunuch Liu's groveling appearance, so he turned his face away, "Eunuch Liu, you are embarrassing me. In fact, you don't know that I have done my best to the emperor."
Eunuch Liu was taken aback for a moment, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. He looked at Rong Chang'an, then at Li Hai lying on the bed, and shook his head.
"It seems that the queen has made up her mind! The situation is irreversible. I am a little overwhelmed, thinking that the queen will listen to me. Forget it, since the Li family is about to change my name, I can't stay in the palace anymore Oh, queen, you are so unfeeling now, but it is actually the fruit planted by the emperor. No wonder you, no wonder you! Every cause must have an effect, and every fruit must have a cause. Everything depends on fate. Why can’t I see it? Through it!"
Eunuch Liu seemed to have lost his mind, while shaking his head, he walked out of the palace step by step, and left Ziyan's palace step by step. No matter how Rong Changan called from behind, he never looked back.
The imperial guard guarding the palace shouted: "Eunuch Liu, the imperial concubine Ziyan issued an order not to allow anyone to come out. Go back quickly, otherwise we will be impolite!"
But Eunuch Liu turned a deaf ear, stared forward with dull eyes, dropped the whisk in his hand to the ground, and walked farther and farther along the red wall. Seeing that he was a little crazy and it was not easy to kill him with a knife, the guards followed him out of Jingyang Gate all the way to the back mountain.
…
Without the backbone of the imperial guards, the hearts of the people were scattered, and they had no intention of resisting. Yan Li was defeated in one blow, and the speed at which the palace was breached was much faster than people thought.
Before the Imperial Guards were defeated, they rushed into the harem, those who robbed women robbed women, those who robbed jewels robbed jewels, those who took calligraphy and paintings took calligraphy and paintings, and even worse, set fire to the palace.
The entire palace was in a mess, fireworks were everywhere, cries, shouts, and screams echoed among the red walls and green tiles.
Wearing armor, Liu Yiming ran into Shang's study in a panic, shouting: "Grand Concubine, now Yan Li has breached the palace, and we have arrived at the Meridian Gate, let's go!"
Zi Yan didn't seem to believe it, crescent eyebrows frowned: "Did you send someone to discuss with Yan Li, saying that the emperor is willing to abdicate?"
Liu Yiming said: "Sent, but Yan Li doesn't care if the emperor abdicates at all, all he wants now is Rong Chang'an."
Ziyan's face was gloomy, and her neon clothes were flying back and forth quickly on the clean water-polished bricks, as if a cloud was being blown back and forth by the wind in the clear sky after the rain.
"Rong Changan! Rong Changan!"
As she read these three words, her eyes suddenly lit up: "We will transfer Rong Changan and Li Hai away immediately. As long as they are in our hands, we will have a bargaining chip with Yan Li!"
The two left the Shang study room quickly, and when they were walking towards Ziyan's palace, arrows shot down from the sky from time to time, and stuck on the carved beams and painted pillars in the verandah.
boom! The door of the palace was pushed open. Rong Changan was sitting in the courtyard, watching Kazuki's peach and plum blossoms.
"Rong Chang'an, you are quite leisurely!" Zi Yan's mouth twitched.
Rong Chang'an didn't look back at Zi Yan at all, and smiled: "Naturally, I have leisure time! In the current situation, some people are nervous."
With a cry from the wolf, Ziyan angrily pulled out the sword from the waist of the Imperial Guard next to him, and placed it on Rong Changan's fragrant shoulder, "Rong Changan, now you are my prisoner, if I want to kill you, I will kill you."
The words were full of chilling breath, but Rong Changan cast a cold glance at the icy sword.
"I can assure you, you dare not kill me." Rong Changan seemed to raise his eyebrows, teasing Zi Yan who was angry.
Ziyan pressed the sword down forcefully, as long as she used a little more force, Rong Changan's neck would bleed, "Rong Changan, don't challenge my patience, I will kill you easily!"
"Hahahaha!" Rong Changan smiled so presumptuously and heroically, the knot in his chest dissipated with the laughter, "Zi Yan, I want to remind you, as long as you kill me, you will die worse than me .One of my hundred thousand soldiers will bite you one bite at a time. As long as you don’t die, they will bite you down one bite at a time.”
"Rong Chang'an, I..." I don't know whether Ziyan's body was shaking violently because of fear or anger.
Liu Yiming was afraid that Ziyan would kill Rong Changan by mistake, so he quickly persuaded him: "Concubine, if we don't have Rong Changan as a bargaining chip, we won't have the capital to negotiate with Yan Li and Song Qiang. If you can't bear it, you will mess up and make big plans. I hope the concubine will Take it easy."
Ziyan gritted her teeth, and her angry eyes could be used like throwing knives, "Come here, take Rong Changan and the emperor to the back mountain!"
The imperial guards went to detain Rong Chang'an and went to the back mountain.
Li Hai was still in a coma on the bed. When he was woken up at this moment, he seemed to have no idea where he was, "Where is this? Is I still safe and sound?" His left and right hands were groping around his body, as if he was afraid that he would lose a certain part of his body. .
