Yu Yecheng and Yu Yingbo had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Concubine Li ordering Ji Xuan to fight quickly.
Although a group of people fell in the Forbidden Army, they were only those who were stationed at the Yufu Palace last night. Xia Chu just gave them some information with the mentality of coming and going.
Therefore, although a group of them fell, they did not do much damage to the real combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.
Although Concubine Li was sitting high on the glazed Qibao agarwood couch on the third floor of the base hall, she could see that the fallen bodyguards were the ones who had stayed outside her palace last night.
She frowned slightly and immediately gave the order.
There was always some vague uneasiness in her heart. From Xiao Zimu's tone, although she didn't want to believe it, she could only conclude that for the time being... the emperor might not die.
Seeing Yu Yecheng's stunned look when Yu Yingbo told him that he was flattering and pretending to surrender, he obviously didn't know it either.
Since he didn't know, Yu Yecheng still dared to rush into the Yufu Palace with the only remaining team of guards, so he must have some backup plans.
Li Fei suddenly stood up, her eyes shining brightly.
She suddenly stood up and startled Xiao Yanjun. He was watching Ji Xuan lead the imperial army attentively, killing Xiao Zimu's encirclement smaller and smaller. Although he was not killed yet, it was only a matter of time. .
All the officials in the palace who had not submitted to Concubine Li huddled in a corner, while the military attachés protected the civil servants and stood in front.
The civil servants looked at the rough and treacherous men who they usually disliked, and suddenly felt that they were tall and majestic, and their expressions couldn't help but feel a little shy.
The leader of the military attachés, the Minister of Discipline, Ge Ran, turned to Taifu Wu and the other officials behind him and sighed with emotion: "If you can survive this palace coup, I will never call you useless and sour Confucian scholars again. "
The two factions, civil and military, have disliked each other since ancient times and have been arguing constantly.
Who would have thought that during this palace change, they discovered the admirable shining points in each other and started to respect each other.
The person who is mixed with shame here is Min Zhisong.
Just when Min Zhisong lowered his head to reflect on what he had done all these years, an arrow suddenly shot out of the palace with snow in the sky.
And the person who fired the arrow was Lian Yan, the maid next to Concubine Li.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of arrows piercing the air was heard in the four streets and eight alleys of Chang'an as a response.
When the order arrow fell, Sang Yi's spies scattered around the capital discovered something strange at the same time. Countless traffickers and lackeys immediately put down their work, acted upon the order, stood up from the ground, and rushed towards the palace at high speed.
Xiao Yanjun was getting excited when he saw Li Fei suddenly stood up and pulled him out of the palace, followed by the officials who loyally followed Li Fei.
When Jixuan saw the two of them coming out, he knelt down and bowed respectfully.
Concubine Li quickly ordered to him: "Leave a team of people here to tie us up, and we will withdraw from the palace."
Xiao Yanjun looked startled: "What?"
Now that the situation in the palace is very good, and these people are about to be restrained, Concubine Li actually wants to withdraw from the palace at this time
Ji Xuan was also confused, but he was not qualified to ask.
Therefore, when Xiao Yanjun asked in shock, he also raised his head in confusion.
Concubine Li didn't say much, she just told Xiao Yanjun: "Hold your uncle and retreat!"
Jixuan had no choice but to go and give the order. Xiao Yanjun was pushed and gouged out by Concubine Li. He reluctantly pulled Shi Fuqiu, who was still in a low mood, and left the Jade Palace together.
The remaining ministers in the palace looked at each other, and the military attachés were even more confused. They were all ready to fight. Why did Concubine Li, who had the advantage, suddenly withdraw from the Jade Palace with some officials
Xiao Zimu said "Eh", also very puzzled, and told Yu Yecheng: "Break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and go to each palace to check."
Although the crisis in Yufu Palace has been resolved, the fighting is still going on.
Concubine Li and her party had already passed through the entire harem and arrived directly in front of the Zhonghe Hall.
Xiao Yanjun watched her not stopping all the way, and the direction was actually towards the palace gate.
He frowned tightly, thinking in his mind why Concubine Li was leaving the palace in such a good situation and leaving the palace in such a rage.
Just as Xiao Yanjun was thinking, Concubine Li suddenly stopped. He raised his eyes suspiciously and saw a mighty array of guards from the Nine Gates directly in front of the Zhonghe Hall, leading their troops behind Yiqi.
Standing on the black horse in front, a man dressed in black clothes looked solemn and heroic. His eyes were deep and sharp, giving people a sense of oppression unconsciously.
The clouds opened, and in the sky filled with flying snow, layers of dark clouds suddenly opened a big crack.
The clear light gradually faded, the snow reflected the skylight, and the golden and purple colors covered Xiao Mubai's body brilliantly, making his angular, cold and resolute face particularly clear.
"Aren't you always at the Villa on the outskirts of Beijing?" Xiao Yanjun's pupils suddenly narrowed.
Concubine Li paid special attention to Xiao Mubai's every move.
Therefore, they sent people to monitor outside the garden.
In the morning, he also received a letter from a flying pigeon. The letter reported that His Highness King Mo was having fun and did not go back to the house to rest until daylight.
Even if he pretends to rest, judging by the distance traveled, there is absolutely no way he will appear in the palace at this time.
"Your Majesty, please impress me." Xiao Mubai did not pay attention to Xiao Yanjun, but looked at Concubine Li who had a serious look on her face.
According to the plan, their mother and son should have been tied up by Yu Yecheng in the Jade Palace at this moment.
But now, she appears here.
There are only a handful of people with knowledge of Xiao Mubai's layout, so it is impossible for it to be leaked.
Then the only possibility is that Li Fei guessed it herself.
What's even more commendable is that she not only guessed it, but also decisively abandoned the Yufu Palace and resolutely gave up the immediate interests.
How many people in this world can do this
Concubine Li met Xiao Mubai's gaze and lowered her eyes with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Mo suddenly sent off the Fifth Prince and Third Young Master Qiao out of the city with great fanfare, but in the blink of an eye, Third Young Master Qiao took the royal family's troops and moved in with great force. After arriving at the Villa on the outskirts of Beijing, I was finally confused by you and let down my guard. His Highness King Mo is the one who made me look at you with admiration."
Only after listening to Concubine Li's words did Xiao Yanjun realize that the person they had been guarding day and night was actually Mr. Qiao from the Liang Kingdom.
Qiao Mobai was very similar to Xiao Mubai, and it was impossible for the people sent to follow him to observe him closely. In addition, he and the fifth prince had already left the capital with great fanfare. Who would have thought of the people in Bieyuan? , it’s just a cover.
Xiao Mubai forced Zang Hong to take two steps forward and looked down at Concubine Li in the Forbidden Army and the courtiers following behind him. The corners of his lips curved into a thin arc: "My Majesty, I feel that the Forbidden Army is facing the Nine Gates." Who among the defenders will win?"
Li Fei raised her head to look at him, the two strands of hair on her cheeks gently blowing in the wind, adding to her seductive charm: "Naturally, she is defeated by Jiumen..."
