Jiang Shuyi waved her arms, and the situation took a turn for the worse.
Time goes back to the beginning.
Knowing that Liu Zhao was coming, Concubine Xue Gui and King Zhao hurriedly left the bedroom, and Chen Dachang and the others were also escorted away.
Jiang Shuyi cried alone, she was too scared to control herself.
When she thought that she would die badly and be pushed out by Concubine Xue Gui to take the blame, she trembled with fear.
She listened to the shouts of killing outside, like a death knell tolling for her.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
She didn't come back to herself until she was grabbed by a dry hand.
"Ahh..."
The hand that came out suddenly made her scream in fright.
"Don't bark!"
"His Majesty?"
Jiang Shuyi couldn't believe it, and then burst into tears again, "Your Majesty, you are not dead. It's great that you are still alive."
The Son of Heaven is indeed not dead.
When Jiang Shuyi killed the emperor, she was so nervous that she didn't know how to use force.
Coupled with the arrival of Liu Zhao, the murder was interrupted, and the emperor had to survive.
The emperor woke up after such a long time because of his weakness.
After he woke up, he heard Jiang Shuyi's cry, and everyone else went out.
The emperor stared at Jiang Shuyi.
Facing the emperor's eyes, Jiang Shuyi became afraid again.
She knelt down directly and kowtowed frequently, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty spared my life. Everything I do is forced, and I have no choice but to do it."
The emperor asked, "Who is here?"
Jiang Shuyi answered honestly, "I heard it's an imperial edict?"
The Son of Heaven listened.
When the shouting and killing outside ended, he said again: "Go outside and see what's going on now."
Jiang Shuyi was so afraid of death, how dare she go out.
Even she herself didn't expect that she would be so afraid when she was about to die. Obviously she is very bold on weekdays.
Sure enough, only by personally experiencing the test of life and death can one know how afraid one is of death.
Seeing her hesitation, the emperor said sharply, "If you listen to me, I will save your life. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Jiang Shuyi had no choice but to leave the bedroom and secretly inquire about the outside world for the emperor.
After going back and forth several times, the emperor did not let out a sigh of relief until he learned that Pei Meng had led troops into the palace to escort him.
Everyone said that Marquis Lu was ambitious and untrustworthy.
However, for the emperor, only Marquis Lu and the Pei family are worthy of trust at critical moments.
With Pei's family here, his life is safe.
The emperor couldn't move and didn't dare to take risks, so he ordered Jiang Shuyi to run out and shouted the sentence "The imperial edict is false. Concubine Xue Gui and King Zhao killed Your Majesty, and also Concubine Li De and the little prince."
Someone personally testified that Concubine Xue Gui and King Zhao killed His Majesty, Pei Meng no longer hesitated, and directly marched forward.
Wherever he passed, chopping melons and vegetables was like no one's land.
As for the angry curses of the courtiers, he ignored them all.
His task is to escort, the emperor passed away, and the murderer is ahead, how can he hesitate.
The Sirius army was dispatched, and all resistance was shattered as if destroyed.
In a blink of an eye, Pei Meng was at the forefront.
Under the protection of the officers and servants, Concubine Xue retreated again and again, to the main hall, to the second gate of the palace, and continued to push back.
At the end is the emperor's bedroom.
"You guys are rebelling, don't come here." This was Concubine Xue's last insistence.
Pei Meng directly ordered, "Arrest everyone, except Concubine Xue and King Zhao, who dare to resist, kill without mercy!"
The subordinates took orders and caught people like wolves and tigers.
"Father, my son is not filial, my son is late."
Seeing that the situation was under control, King Ning rushed directly into the bedroom.
Concubine Xue Gui is still making her last resistance.
Liu Zhao directly dragged King Zhao into the hall, "Concubine Xue, you can arrest me if you don't let go. Otherwise, I will kill King Zhao."
"Liu Zhao, do you ignore Gu Jiu?"
Liu Zhao's expression froze.
Concubine Xue took out a pair of earrings, "It's familiar, right? Let King Zhao go, and I'll tell you where Gu Jiu is."
Liu Zhao's face was filled with murderous intent, he held King Zhao's hand harder and harder, and was about to strangle King Zhao to death, Pei Meng roared angrily and woke him up.
"You guys kidnapped Xiao Jiu?"
Liu Zhao came to his senses and asked sharply.
Concubine Xue laughed, "You ensure that King Zhao leaves the palace safely, and I will tell you Gu Jiu's whereabouts."
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously.
Concubine Xue was surprised, "You don't agree? You don't care about Gu Jiu's safety? Don't you guys love gold?"
Liu Zhao smiled coldly, "Do you really think I'm a monkey? I'll tell you right now, the consequences of angering me are very serious."
Hands up and down!
"Ah!" Zhao Wang screamed.
An arm flew up into the sky, and then fell heavily.
"No!" Concubine Xue roared angrily, "Liu Zhao, you deserve to die. You cut off King Zhao's arm, and I want you to die."
Liu Zhao cut off one of Zhao Wang's arms, and Zhao Wang lay on the ground writhing in pain. Blood spattered from his body, staining the ground red. If the bleeding doesn't stop, King Zhao will die in pain.
Liu Zhao wiped the blade lightly, and said indifferently: "As I said, the consequences of angering me will be very serious. It is kind of me to spare his life."
After speaking, he turned and left without going to the bedroom.
Behind him, King Ning exclaimed, "Father, you are not dead. Hahaha, you are still alive, that's great!"
The emperor is still alive
All are pleasant surprises.
Concubine Xue Gui staggered, lost, completely defeated.
She said where did Jiang Shuyi have the courage to dare to oppose her.
It turned out that the emperor was not dead at all.
Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, everyone rushed to the bedroom.
Only Liu Zhao walked in the opposite direction to the others and walked outside the palace.
Lin Shuping hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and persuaded: "Young Master, you should go to see His Majesty at this time and make plans for the future."
Liu Zhao had a gloomy face, "It doesn't matter!"
"The young master risked his life and took the lead to rush into the palace to save His Majesty. He deserves His Majesty's praise."
"Do not care!"
Liu Zhao's footsteps became faster and faster, "Is there any news about Zhao San? What's the situation with Madam now?"
Lin Shuping stomped anxiously, "Zhao San has already found out the whereabouts of the madam, and the madam is safe and sound. The son returns to Xingqing Palace now, there is still time for everything."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Zhao went out of the palace, mounted his horse, and went to kill Gu Jiu's house.
Lin Shuping had no choice but to mount his horse and lead his men to catch up with Liu Zhao.
The sky in the capital was almost covered by the skyrocketing fire.
Xiuyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi are struggling to put out the fire.
There was a lot of gongs and drums outside.
However, the small courtyard where Gu Jiu was located was as quiet as usual.
The door was pushed open suddenly, Zhou Jin rushed in with someone, and directly grabbed Gu Jiu's wrist, "Leave with me."
"Let go!"
Gu Jiu knew that the opportunity to escape had come.
Zhou Jin looked cold, "Don't force me to knock you out, just take you away."
Gu Jiu calmly said: "It's too late for you to take me away now. Believe it or not, you will be ambushed when you go out? If you want to survive, there are two ways. The first is to cooperate with me. My previous proposal is still valid. Second, give up on me and leave immediately with your people."
Zhou Jin stared at her, "Believe it or not, I'll knock you out right now and take you away."
Gu Jiu calmly said: "Even if you knock me out, you won't be able to leave the capital. Even if you're lucky enough to leave the capital, you won't be able to go south smoothly. The Weishui is about to freeze, and the government ordered your boat to reach the capital. Can't run out.
If I'm not mistaken, the chasers include not only people from the government, but also people from the palace. My husband Liu Zhao has returned to Beijing. If you don't run now, you will never run away. "
Zhou Jin laughed suddenly, "You trust him so much, you believe that he will come to save you? Do you know that after he returned to the capital, he went directly to the palace. There is a palace change in the palace. Before dark, he will never It’s impossible to rush over here. I advise you to hold less unrealistic hopes.”
Gu Jiu laughed, "Even if he's busy and doesn't have time to come, he will send his henchmen to come over."
Zhou Jin narrowed her eyes, "Are you delaying time on purpose, waiting for rescue? Then I will stop being polite, and tie her up for me and take her away."
"Zhou Jin, you are courting death!"
"Even if my son dies, he will drag you along. We can't be together in life, we must be together in death."
The servants directly tied up Gu Jiu, as well as Qing Mei.
Then he carried the two of them and rushed out of the house.
Gu Jiu's body was bumping up and down uncomfortably, and his stomach was churning, wanting to die.
A group of people went out from the alley, and they were ambushed as soon as they left the alley.
"Save Madam!"
It was Zhao San's voice. Zhao San is here.
Gu Jiu struggled.
She knew that Liu Zhao would send someone to rescue her.
The situation was critical, Zhou Jin made a decisive decision, got on the horse with Gu Jiu, and rushed outside.
The lethality of the horse is astonishing, no one dares to endure the trampling of the horse abruptly, so they can only get out of the way.
"Catch up!"
Two groups of people, one in front and one behind, were chasing each other on the streets of the capital.
Fortunately, the capital was on fire, and the army successively went to the capital, and the people all hid in their homes and did not come out.
The whole street is just theirs running horses.
Gu Jiu was pressed on the horse's back, and he wanted to die.
She struggled to keep her balance, not wanting to fall and be trampled to death.
She opened her mouth, and the strong wind poured in, making it even more uncomfortable.
She still said: "If you let me go, you can still escape. I can stop them for you."
Zhou Jin looked back, raised her eyebrows and smiled, with a wicked smile on her face.
"I don't need to escape. Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of the capital."
"You're dreaming."
"Then you can see what I'm capable of."
Gu Jiu tried hard to raise his head and looked forward.
"You didn't intend to charge the city gate?"
"Who told you that my son is going to charge the city gate? Only a fool will charge the city gate. Xiao Jiu, I will let you know that I am ten times, a hundred times stronger than Liu Zhao. It is better to follow me than to follow him."
Gu Jiu was puzzled, "How are you going to leave the city?"
Zhou Jin smiled mysteriously.
It wasn't until Gu Jiu felt the air getting more and more humid that she suddenly realized, "Are you planning to go down the waterway? You..."
"Hush! Hold me tight, I will take you to Jiangnan."
Zhou Jin mentioned Gu Jiu, gave up the horse, and rushed directly towards the inner city river.
boom!
A long spear came out of nowhere and shot directly at Zhou Jin's face.
"Liu Zhao!"
"Zhou Jin!"
Looking at each other.
Two men, meeting for the first time.
Both have enough hatred for each other.
Zhou Jin made a quick decision, but she had no choice but to give up on Gu Jiu to delay Liu Zhao's speed, and buy herself a little chance to save her life.
Liu Zhao had no choice but to give up chasing and killing Zhou Jin, and leaped into the air to catch Gu Jiu who was rolling down.
This scene, although it sounds very long, is actually a matter of a few seconds.
In a short period of time, both offense and defense.
The two fought against each other for a short time, but they already knew that the other party was an extremely difficult opponent.
Plop!
Zhou Jin fell into the rolling river and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Zhao hugged Gu Jiu and landed firmly.
He told his subordinates who were chasing him: "Notify the gates of the city to close the gates, and send people to search the entire river in the inner city. If you want to see dead bodies, you need to see people."
"Subordinates obey!"
Gu Jiu passed out.
Bound, the horse bumped, and was thrown in the air. The body could no longer support it, and passed out gorgeously.
Liu Zhao's hand trembled for a moment.
He picked up Gu Jiu and got into the carriage directly, "Go back to the palace and pass on the imperial physician."
…
Night falls!
The hustle and bustle of the day turns into the tranquility of the night.
The blood on the ground has been washed.
The body has been taken away and disposed of afterwards.
Whether it is the Sirius Army, the Jingxi Battalion, or the Jingbei Battalion, they have all retreated.
Xingqing Palace, which has been fighting all day, finally ushered in a rare peace.
The imperial physicians gathered together to diagnose and treat the emperor's body.
Chen Dachang's left hand was wrapped in a bandage, and he respectfully served the emperor.
A slight injury can't go down the line of fire, a little injury is nothing, as long as he is not dead, he is the most loyal lackey by His Majesty's side.
The emperor is tired.
The courtiers were also tired.
But no one retreated.
Everyone stayed in Xingqing Palace, they wanted to get an answer, or listen to what the emperor had to say.
The emperor had nothing to say.
No!
The emperor has too much to say.
Just not yet.
