Concubine Ye knew that Xie Ruzhuo wanted to handle it herself. After all, this was Concubine Ye's palace, not the East Palace.
Murong Wan was taken away with a look of disbelief on her face, and the order to arrest Murong Wan was naturally given by Concubine Ye.
By the time Xiao Junxi arrived, Murong Wan had already been detained in the side hall by soldiers. As for the other concubines, they had already found excuses to return to their palaces.
Princess Ping left with Jin Jieyu, and only Xiao Xinning and Xie Ruzhuo were left in the palace to accompany Concubine Ye.
The hall was extremely quiet.
Seeing Xiao Junxi come in, Xie Ruzhuo raised his head and smiled at him, knowing that the matter was done.
Although Concubine Ye knew part of their plan, she could not hide her worry. She quickly got up and walked over quickly and asked, "How is the matter?"
Xiao Junxi gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, concubine, everything is going well. Now the rebellious ministers and traitors have been captured, and the father has returned to the palace to rest. But today is my concubine's birthday. Not only can I not wish you a good birthday, but I have caused you a lot of troubles. I hope my mother and concubine will forgive me."
Hearing this, Concubine Ye sighed, "My mother and concubine will be satisfied if you are all safe and sound. How can there be so many crimes to be punished?"
As he said that, he looked him up and down again, and felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Junxi was indeed safe.
Xiao Junxi comforted her a few more words, winked at Xie Ruzhuo, and the couple left the palace.
After getting out of the palace gate, before Xie Ruzhuo could ask questions, Xiao Junxi told everything about what happened in the imperial study today.
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "He is really arrogant."
The second prince in his previous life was very calm. The reason he finally reached this end in this life was because they forced out his inner demons step by step. After all, Xiao Junhan's conspiracy to usurp the throne was not forced by Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi. Although they played a role in fueling the flames, if Xiao Junhan had not had this idea at all, he would not be in this situation today.
It's all your own fault.
Xie Ruzhuo felt the pleasure of revenge in his heart, but he was also slightly worried, "Shen Jingci's troops are in the capital now, and I don't know if the five thousand elites brought by my brother are enough."
That's right, after King Dingbei led his troops to leave that day, Xie Huainan nominally went with King Dingbei to practice, but in fact he led five thousand elites to ambush in the suburbs of Beijing, breaking these people into pieces, just waiting for Xie Ruzhuo's attack Once the signal is sent, the rebel party can be captured in one fell swoop.
He was just afraid of being discovered by Shen Jingci's men, so the people Xie Huainan led were fine but not many. Now facing Shen Jingci's people, I don't know what the odds are.
Xiao Junxi smiled softly and said, "Zhuo'er, don't underestimate your brother. He has become more mature than before after coming back from the border, and his troop formation has also improved a lot. Just don't worry."
Seeing Xiao Junxi say this, Xie Ruzhuo was relieved and at the same time couldn't hide his proud smile and said, "That's because I don't know whose brother he is."
How could her Xie Ruzhuo's brother be the thing in the pond
When the woman smiled, her eyebrows were curved like a cunning cat, so clever that Xiao Junxi couldn't help but nibble on the tip of her nose.
But he resisted this idea in the end, just rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "Si Zhuo'er."
Xie Ruzhuo and his wife worked together to pull out all the hidden stakes in the palace, so Shen Jingci outside did not know what happened in the palace.
That afternoon, Xiao Junxi ordered people to disperse the situation in the palace, but revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the imperial city was as tight as an iron barrel.
At the same time, he spread the news and went out, deliberately letting Shen Jingci know something.
"What are you talking about? The Crown Prince ordered the encirclement and suppression of Prince Qi's Mansion and the remnants of the rebels?!"
Shen Jingci waited for a whole day but never heard anything. She didn't expect to find out such a shocking thing this evening.
Not only were Xiao Junhan and Murong Wan trapped in the palace, but even his secret army was discovered by Xiao Junxi!
Uncle Yang said solemnly, "Master, just this afternoon, more than a hundred of our people have been rounded up and executed on the spot. Now we are fighting to the death, and we are just waiting for your order!"
He is an old man in Shen's family, and he is also a leader-like figure in that army. However, he was loyal to the Shen family and saw his men die one by one, but he was unable to avenge them. When he spoke, he showed a bit of urgency and sadness.
Shen Jingci was also in a state of confusion at the moment.
She originally thought this was an arranged plan, but unexpectedly it failed! The moment she learned that Xiao Junhan had been defeated, Shen Jingci's first thought was to run away with her elite.
Unexpectedly, the identities of these elites were also discovered. Now she is in a dilemma. If she wants to survive, she may have to fight hard.
As she thought about it, Shen Jingci's eyes slowly sank, and she said word by word, "Give me the order to go down, assemble, and attack the imperial city at night!"
When Xiao Junyi was like that, Emperor Jing didn't even kill him. I think Xiao Junhan is fine today. Now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and save Xiao Junhan so that she could have a chance to survive.
And taking advantage of this moment, she could kill Murong Wan!
At that time, Xiao Junhan will only have himself to rely on.
It's a pity that Shen Jingci's plan was good, but she forgot one of the most important things.
Having soldiers without generals is a taboo in the army.
Together, these people and some of the people Xiao Junhan had gathered earlier amounted to more than 10,000 people. However, when so many people gathered together and crowded the main road in the capital, what should be done next became a question. .
There are dozens of large and small gates in the imperial city. Who is the main gate and who is the auxiliary? How many people are inside each gate? How to attack them? How to prevent a message from being sent out in the imperial city to move reinforcements? These are all problems.
But Shen Jingci obviously didn't understand this.
Fortunately, Uncle Yang had led the army in these years and had some rough plans for this. After asking Shen Jingci for instructions, he made his own plans and asked Shen Jingci to do it on his behalf.
And this is destined to be a hard battle.
After the first group of soldiers attacked the imperial city at night, they saw swords raining down from the city wall from top to bottom, and the sky was filled with rain of swords. They were intertwined into a thin net, and everywhere they went, there was a wailing.
This group of soldiers were well-trained and immediately resisted with shields. They quickly moved ladders and set up human walls in an attempt to climb the tower.
But where is the tower so easy to climb
I saw the soldiers on the city tower calmly carrying out the big bucket and pouring it down along the edge of the city wall. I could smell the smell of alcohol in the air.
Shen Jingci screamed in the distance and quickly ordered people to retreat.
But it's too late.
I saw a soldier on the city tower holding a torch in his hand and throwing it towards the bottom of the city. Fires were seen everywhere, reflecting the deepest night in the sky red.
Under the tongue of fire, Shen Jingci's face was also reflected in horror.
The location where Shen Jingci is located is the main city gate, and it is probably the same situation at other city gates without even thinking about it.
She closed her eyes tightly, seeing that she could not attack for a long time, she could only give the order to retreat.
However, what she didn't expect was that it was this order that completely drove this army to a dead end.
A group of troops with countless casualties but without touching a finger of the opponent. When they were dejected, they encountered an army that had been ambushing in the dark and preparing to harvest people's heads. One can imagine the consequences.
That night, fires broke out everywhere and killing cries continued.
The people in the capital consciously closed their doors and windows to prevent these people from breaking in.
The common people below the roots of these imperial cities have seen all kinds of big things happen. These people from the Tian family are fighting for power and profit, and they accidentally harm small fish and shrimps like them. Even if there is compensation later, but the people are gone, no amount of compensation will be enough. It's no use.
So they see it very clearly, no matter how loud the door is when you knock on the door outside, we just block the door with heavy objects from home, then cover our heads and sleep.
After dawn, all the monsters and monsters will disappear, and it will be a sunny day again.
How could Xie Ruzhuo fall asleep with such a loud commotion outside
Originally, Xiao Junxi wanted to catch Shen Jingci off guard by attacking from both sides, but in the end, it was Xie Ruzhuo's plan, using some underhanded tricks to make the opponent unable to even touch her own fingers, and then being pursued by Xie Huainan's troops. , that’s how happy you are.
Regarding this plan, Wen Ruyu said, "Disciple is really better than his master."
But while he was lamenting why his beloved disciple was so vicious, he added a few flavors of his own formula to the fallen wine, so that the fire-stained wine could make the body immortal and burn longer.
Everyone is planning with the same purpose, and the eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers.
And Xie Ruzhuo, looking at Shen Jingci who was guarded by thousands of troops in the center of the city tower, the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
The heart-breaking scene in the previous life was still in front of me, gradually overlapping with the current scene in front of me.
Look, Shen Jingci, didn't you stand on the tower and kill my brother who came to save my sister? But now, you have become the target of his hunting!
It can be seen that the law of nature is clear, cause and effect will have its own retribution!
There is a bow and arrow on the side of her hand, and the hand holding the bow and arrow has turned white at the joints. You can imagine how much strength Xie Ruzhuo used.
She closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again, still counting something silently.
The people who originally besieged several other city gates were gathered together to deal with Xie Huainan who suddenly led his army to attack. It's just that this group of soldiers who have just returned from the battlefield are all first-class fierce men. Facing this group of tired and frightened people, they are just like cutting through cabbage with a knife, harvesting human lives.
Even though Shen Jingci was usually vicious, how could she have ever seen such a scene? Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he kept screaming, "Quickly, kill them and fight a bloody path!"
She regretted it. If she had not had that trace of greed today, but had chosen to lead this group of people to fight a bloody path at the gate of the capital, then she would have already left the capital's territory at this time!
But now, she is like meat on the chopping board. No matter how the opponent crushes her, she has no power to fight back!
At this moment, Shen Jingci turned around inadvertently and saw a woman on the city wall dressed in red, with pride between her features.
The sky was dim and they were far apart, but Shen Jingci really knew that the woman was Xie Ruzhuo!
A flash of hatred flashed in Shen Jingci's eyes. If this woman hadn't ruined her good deeds repeatedly, how could she end up like this now!
Thinking of the aborted child again, Shen Jingci's eyes became filled with blood, and she shouted bitterly, "Xie Ruzhuo!"
