Qingyun could feel Yang Shuo's nervousness, and she was also very nervous. Because the palace is too peaceful.
All the signs indicated that something big would happen recently, but there was no panic at the place where the big thing should happen most.
Do you think too much? Qingyun's heart tightened even more.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards at the gate saw them and let them go.
Qingyun glanced at Yang Shuo, Yang Shuo nodded, "Princess, I will go directly to Zhaoyang Palace."
Qingyun said: "I will go too."
Chaoyang Hall is the place where the emperor went to court. Seeing from a distance, the door of the hall was closed, and there were two teams of guards standing at the door. Yang Shuo looked at the guards, he knew them all, and felt relieved.
Yang Shuo said: "Princess, you go back to the palace first, the humble position is here waiting for the emperor to retire."
Seeing Yang Shuo's face relax, Qing Yun felt relieved. Watching Yang Shuo enter the gate of Zhaoyang Hall. She just turned around and took two steps, and found two people who should not be standing in Zhaoyang Hall standing behind the pillars in front.
One is Zhang Shan, and the other is a stranger, Qingyun remembers seeing this person when he was in Fumantang Restaurant, he was with Huo Jingyun.
Zhang Shan was lowering his head and talking to him.
At this time, shouldn't Zhang Shan be in Fuli Country with his senior brother? She walked towards Zhang Shan, but through the slightly opened door of Zhaoyang Hall, she saw Yang Shuo being pressed to the ground. Just as Yang Shuo was about to struggle, a long knife lay across his neck.
Yang Shuo's martial arts are superb, he is by no means an idler, yet he was so easily restrained.
Qingyun stopped instantly, but Xiao Shuanzi grabbed Qingyun's sleeve, "Follow me quickly."
Qingyun was dragged forward by Xiao Shuanzi, and she shook off him. "Something must have happened in Zhaoyang Palace, little Shuanzi, I want to go in and have a look."
"Princess, if something really happened, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go in now? The guards inside have already spotted us, get out of here quickly."
Qingyun looked at the guards standing on both sides of the door, he didn't care about the movement inside, as if he didn't hear anything.
Qingyun said: "The danger has to go in."
Xiao Shuanzi wanted to say something else, but Qingyun directly opened the door and entered Zhaoyang Hall.
The guards at the door did not step forward to stop her, Qingyun concluded that these people must have received some orders.
As soon as they entered the gate of Zhaoyang Hall, the door shut with a snap. A bloody smell rushed towards him!
The room was a bit dark, Qing Yun was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the sky had changed inside!
There is no trace of waves on the outside, but there are two layers of water and fire inside.
In this main hall, many corpses were scattered all over the place. Qingyun even saw the body of Shangshu Liu Jun lying on the hall!
But there was no sound of fighting, there was a dead silence, and the two sides were stalemate.
Qingyun's heart jumped a few times, she closed her eyes to stabilize her mind, and looked up.
The entire Zhaoyang Hall was densely packed with soldiers, most of them wore silver-white armor, and a few were black armor.
The person in black is Ling Chen.
Qingyun mourned in his heart, is it the end of the world! That man is arrogant and will never surrender. During this period of time, he has focused on unifying the Northern Wilderness Continent. Is he going to break here today
Qing Yun looked forward through the crowd, and she saw Ling Chen.
He was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, with calm eyes, sitting on the dragon chair, looking at all the officials.
He had already seen Qingyun, and Qingyun saw his brow wrinkled, and looked away from her again.
Beside him, stood King Rui, Prime Minister Shi, Taifu Han, Dr. Shen, and some of his confidant officials.
Zhang Yang and Han Zhitao held two swords in front of Ling Chen. Guards in black stood around.
As for Gu Fan, Qing Yun almost screamed, but Gu Fan was standing opposite Ling Chen with his sword, his white face was stained with blood, and he stared at Zhang Yang covetously.
Gu Fan, why, he has been with Ling Chen for so many years.
Qingyun had no choice but to look at the person who was dressed in a silver robe and looked so heroic, standing with his hands behind his back, her senior brother Huo Jingyun. She didn't want to believe it. I don't want to admit it either. But today, she forced herself to admit that all this is true.
Yes, the only one who can do these things so seamlessly is Huo Jingyun. He has always been gentle and gentle, calm in mood and anger.
Qing Yun's body trembled slightly. When she was kidnapped and released, when she knew someone was going to turn against her, when she saw her uncle put grandpa under house arrest, when she saw Yang Shuo hesitate to speak, she guessed It turned out that this person was Huo Jingyun.
Among the people she knew, Huo Jingyun was the only one who could fight Ling Chen.
But she has been unwilling to believe it. She felt that there was no reason, the senior brother had always been so indifferent, gentle, and aloof from the world.
Beside Huo Jingyun, stood his father Huo Zhan. Sitting in front of Huo Jingyun was the old lady, Empress Bai Lan. Bai Lan is the mother of the original prince. Because of framing Lan Ling, Ling Chen sent her to the Imperial Temple to retire. Didn't expect to see her here.
Qingyun stood there quietly watching. After the big surprise, there is a calmness that is not afraid of anything.
At this time, another group of officials tremblingly walked from Ling Chen's side to the other side, standing behind Huo Jingyun.
"Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to come here?" Bai Lan said gently. Bai Lan's hair is white, she has gained a lot of weight, but her eyebrows and eyes are sharper than before.
Bai Lan looked at everyone: "Everyone, Ling Moran and Ling Chen's father and son deceived the officials and killed their brother to seize the throne. Now the evidence is convincing that Ling Chen has no virtue in this position. Originally, his father, Ling Moran, took the throne by robbing his brother." Ling Mochu's name is unfair, and now it should be returned to Ling Mochu's son Huo Jingyun! That is Ling Jingyun!"
Her sharp voice echoed around the walls of the palace, and some officials felt that those aggressive eyes seemed to poke someone, and couldn't help but shudder.
Bai Lan stared at Prime Minister Shi behind Ling Chen and said, "Prime Minister Shi, you are the most fair in dealing with things. Now the evidence here at Aijia is convincing, proving that Ling Moran killed his elder brother Ling Mochu and usurped the throne, and Ling Chen killed his prince Ling Tian to snatch the throne." After taking the throne, do you still want to support this rebellious and immoral son as emperor?"
Prime Minister Shi frowned and said: "The former emperor has passed away, and now the emperor is about to unify the Northern Wilderness Continent. The people live and work in peace and contentment. There are almost no major wars between countries. I believe that this matter needs to be cautious!"
Because of the late emperor's relationship, Bai Lan had a long-standing friendship with Prime Minister Shi. Prime Minister Shi never joined any party and was recognized by everyone as a fair person.
Bai Lan said: "Isn't it what you should do as a prime minister to set things right? You supported three generations of Ling family kings, so you should know who the old emperor most wanted to pass on the throne to. As for the former emperor, if the crown prince was alive, he would never pass on the throne." It was passed on to Ling Chen, the crown prince was killed by Ling Chen, don't you just let the thief take power?"
Prime Minister Shi said: "The old minister only wants to see the country and the people are safe, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Queen Mother, the emperor changes too frequently, which will cause new wars and turmoil."
At this time, several officials came to Huo Jingyun's team.
Prime Minister Shi sighed, looked at Taifu Han, and the two exchanged glances. In an instant, tears flowed freely.
Sow the cause, reap the fruit.
They have seen the cruelty of power competition in the previous generation.
