"Your Majesty, do you miss Mrs. Si Bing?" Xiaodouzi asked weakly from the side.
Li Jingnan glared at him coldly and said nothing.
Xiaodouzi didn't take it seriously, but was a little happy: "I must have guessed it right. The emperor must be thinking about Mrs. Si Bing and wants to go and play with her, right?"
Li Jingnan did not glare at him this time, but let out a long sigh again.
"Oh, actually Xiaodouzi also likes Mrs. Si Bing. In front of her, she is not formal at all. It makes people feel very relaxed, and they can learn a lot." Xiaodouzi thought about how he followed the emperor to other courtyards in the past. Every time I leave happily, I return home happily.
The days at that time were really pleasant, unlike now, when the emperor is like a trapped animal trapped here.
"Her current situation may be worse than mine." Li Jingnan shook his head and continued to read the book.
Look what these old men are clamoring for.
Xiaodouzi saw that the emperor was starting to read the book, so he didn't dare to disturb him. After adding some tea, he waited aside in an annoyed tone.
"The palace is so big, where is the emperor?" Hua Qingxue and Fu Tingye had already reached the sky above the entire palace area.
Fu Tingye looked towards the tallest building on the central axis: "There, the imperial study room."
Hua Qingxue looked at it and saw that the building was right in front of them and to the left, but the deviation was not too big, so there was almost no need to adjust the direction.
"It seems God is helping us." Hua Qingxue let out a long breath.
Fu Tingye couldn't help but smile and looked in the other direction: "Really? Look over there."
Hua Qingxue was puzzled. Following his gaze, she suddenly discovered that the guard who reported the news had arrived in front of a palace gate. He followed closely and announced that the eunuch came to inquire, and then reported back...
It seems to be following a process.
"Is that the Queen Mother's palace?" Hua Qingxue guessed.
Fu Tingye nodded.
"Why do I think we will be faster than him?" Hua Qingxue murmured.
No wonder Fu Tingye didn't seem too anxious from the beginning. It turned out that he had predicted this outcome early on.
Looking at other large and small houses and courtyards in the palace, although there were curious palace maids and eunuchs looking up at them, they did not follow each other like the people outside.
After all, there are too many rules in the palace, so... it also caused a certain lack of information.
Hmm... I have to discuss this issue with Li Jingnan later when I have time. After all, it is a drawback.
In Cining Palace, Zheng Shuwen had just finished reading several urgent memorials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Suddenly, a little palace maid ran in in a panic: "The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother! There is something flying in the sky outside."
When Zheng Shuwen was irritated, she accidentally heard her talking nonsense, and she was so angry that she cursed: "You bitch! What dirty words are you talking about in broad daylight? Come here, take it out and give me a slap in the face."
"yes."
The palace maid turned pale with fright and loudly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I told you the truth. I didn't lie to you."
Zi Wan hurriedly came in at this time: "Stop." She ordered and stopped the guard who was executing the order.
Zheng Shuwen looked at her angrily, and Zi Wan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the palace guards have come to report an emergency, why don't you go and take a look?"
The anxious look on Zi Wan's face showed that the situation was really urgent, and only then did Zheng Shuwen realize the seriousness of the situation.
Putting down the memorial in her hand, she walked out quickly. As soon as she stepped onto the steps, she saw something in the sky. For a moment, Zheng Shuwen was so frightened that she took a step back: "Then... what is that!"
The huge behemoth was slowly landing somewhere in the palace.
Zi Wan quickly replied from the side: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is what the palace guards urgently informed you of. Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue rode on it and entered the palace directly."
"What..." Zheng Shuwen was quite surprised: "You said Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue... wait, is Hua Qingxue inside?"
Aster nodded.
Zheng Shuwen quickly turned around and identified the direction where the thing landed. For a moment, she took a breath of cold air: "That's the Imperial Study Room! Oh my God! Immediately launch an emergency alert. No matter what method you use, catch them both." People, at the same time, protect the emperor!"
"Yes." Zi Wan agreed and immediately went down to give instructions.
…
"Wow! What is that?!"
"Oh my God!"
In the imperial study, Xiaodouzi was waiting aside and heard the noise outside for the first time.
He couldn't help but slowly walked towards the palace door to take a look. The emperor was reviewing the memorial, but he couldn't let these unimportant servants disturb the peace.
He yawned and stepped out of the palace door. The next moment, he was shocked and speechless by the spectacle in front of him. Isn't that... isn't that a hot air balloon!
Oh my god, the hot air balloon has actually arrived in the open space in front of the Royal Study Hall.
Wait... Xiaodouzi quickly rubbed his eyes. The person in the hot air balloon... was Hua Qingxue!
It's Mrs. Si Bing... It really is, hahahaha.
Xiaodouzi staggered and ran back: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, here it comes, here it comes! The person you miss... is here!"
Li Jingnan looked at him making a fuss with disgust, but was also attracted by the noise outside the palace and couldn't help but stand up: "What's the noise about... someone I miss..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty! Li Jingnan, come out quickly!"
This, this, this... This is Hua Qingxue's voice!
Li Jingnan ran outside in one stride and was suddenly stopped by the guards at the door of the imperial study: "Your Majesty, we are keeping you in the imperial study on the order of the Queen Mother. Please don't..."
Before the guard finished speaking, there was a whoosh, and an arrow shot over, piercing the armor above his head impartially.
Fu Tingye's cold voice followed closely: "If you want to save your life, get out of my way!"
The guard was already frightened by the arrow. He fell to the ground with a thud, and quickly kowtowed to Fu Tingye: "I'm sorry, General, please spare my life."
When the other guards saw this, and then looked at Fu Tingye's murderous look as if he had walked out of hell, no one dared to step forward to stop Li Jingnan.
Li Jingnan broke away from the restraints and ran to Hua Qingxue with strode: "Why are you here, and you are bringing a hot air balloon with you!"
His words were full of excitement and joy.
Hua Qingxue stretched out a hand towards him: "It's too late to say anything, come in quickly, we'll leave right away."
"Okay, okay!" Li Jingnan agreed happily, turned over and jumped in. Hua Qingxue quickly added materials and prepared to take off.
"Your Majesty, I want to follow you." Xiaodouzi quickly ran over and requested.
Li Jingnan complained at him: "What are you talking about? Just jump in quickly."
While the two of them were talking, countless guards suddenly came from all directions in the imperial study, uniformly organized and well-equipped, and surrounded them.
"Oops, hurry up, hurry up!" Li Jingnan urged anxiously, Hua Qingxue gave him a white look: "I'm already as fast as I can, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Li Jingnan was slightly stunned, feeling that no one had spoken to him like this for a long time, but... listening to Hua Qingxue's complaints was quite useful.
"Your Majesty, do you know how to use a bow?" Fu Tingye asked lightly, with a somewhat contemptuous tone.
Li Jingnan glared at him: "The general is really laughing at me. Am I worthy of being the emperor of Daqi if I don't know how to use a bow?"
Fu Tingye smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and handed Li Jingnan a compound bow: "As long as you know how to use it, get ready, we are going to have a big fight."
"Yes." Li Jingnan nodded and immediately entered a state of preparation.
"Stop! Put down the emperor!" A guard general yelled, waving his iron sword and giving an order: "Charge forward and rescue the emperor!"
"Yes." The guards swarmed around.
In just the blink of an eye, the main hall in front of the imperial study was completely surrounded.
A guard with fast feet came closer, but only heard a whoosh, and an arrow hit his calf, and the man screamed and fell to the ground.
Fu Tingye's eyes were cold and he looked down at everyone: "Whoever dares to take another step forward will be killed!"
He had an intimidating aura and roared, almost scaring everyone to stop for a moment.
"Hurry up! Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished by military law!" The guard stamped his feet anxiously when he saw this scene on the steps of the Imperial Study Room, and couldn't help but urge him. But just as he finished speaking, he heard a whooshing sound, and the gun in Li Jingnan's hand was The arrow passed through and hit the man's left shoulder.
The shot actually missed, Li Jingnan gritted his teeth secretly.
"I want to see who dares to come forward to arrest people today. Will you listen to me or hers?!" Li Jingnan's face turned cold.
These people naturally listened to the Queen Mother, but he was also the emperor, so he didn't believe that these people dared to openly rebel.
"Your Majesty! What are you doing!" A cold voice came, and Zheng Shuwen appeared behind the guards, anxious and angry: "Why are you still standing there, rescue the Emperor quickly. As for the other people... kill them without mercy."
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
The Queen Mother had long wanted to get rid of Fu Tingye, but now he had thrown himself into the trap and broke into the palace without permission.
It's a capital crime.
The guards were stunned for a moment, and the next moment they hurriedly rushed towards the hot air balloon.
Hua Qingxue was sweating profusely and kept adding firewood. Xiaodouzi was also holding a fan to help. Unfortunately, the hot air balloon took off slowly, and now everyone could rush forward in minutes.
I was extremely anxious.
Fly quickly! hurry up! She silently recited it in her heart. It only took a moment, and her whole body was already drenched in cold sweat.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Arrows fell one after another, and the guards rushing in front fell down. The people behind saw it, but they did not dare to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet.
Li Jingnan and Fu Tingye each took charge of their own side and resisted for a while.
Finally, the hot air balloon finally rose, gradually and slowly.
"Are you all useless? You can't even save an emperor. What use do I need from you?" Zheng Shuwen almost turned red with anger and cursed loudly.
The guards in the back row continued to rush forward. The arrows in the hands of Fu Tingye and Li Jingnan became less and less. Finally, there was only one arrow left in Fu Tingye's hand.
Li Jingnan finally threw his bow and hit the nearest guard.
"Go to hell with your protective emperor, I see you are all bullying the emperor! You should all kill the nine tribes!!!" Li Jingnan was also angry, but his words had no effect now, and the guards did not listen to him at all.
Seeing the emergency, Fu Tingye adjusted the compound bow and changed the angle. With the last arrow, he did not aim at the nearby guard, but...
A whooshing sound breaks through the air...
