Huachun didn't sleep very well in the tunnel.
Although there was a quilt prepared by the emperor in the package, it was still too cold after all, so she could only squint and lean on Qingyou's body for a while, then woke up and continued on her way.
Don't look authentic, but the actual distance from here to Burial Dragon Mountain is not much shorter. After the two girls finished their only meal of hot soup and hot meal, they could only eat dry food afterwards. Qing Ling once worried that her master's nutrition could not keep up, but fortunately, she was wronged for a day or two.
Huachun, with her big belly, was much tougher than she imagined. After stopping and walking for more than a day, the two finally saw the exit. Huachun didn't cry tired at all, and took her out directly, and then went to find the garrison who buried Longshan .
The exit is also in a very hidden place, you can't find it if you don't look carefully, and there is a stone gate, and there is an agency next to it, so the safety is completely guaranteed, and Hua Chun is relieved.
The garrison at Buried Dragon Mountain is easy to find, because the huge banners are flying all over half of the mountain. Hua Chun was still trying to give them some opening remarks to prove that he was not a liar, but as soon as he approached, the guards came down to receive them very enthusiastically, and saluted without saying a word: "De concubine Wan'an, according to the emperor's order, immediately Take you to rest."
so good? Hua Chun froze for a moment, then nodded and followed them in.
Burying Dragon Mountain, as the name suggests, is actually the royal tomb. The defenders were very taciturn, and they gave Hua Chun and Qing Niao a room to wash and change their clothes. The concubine said: "Please prepare some dry food and water, I will go back tomorrow."
What? The defender was dumbfounded: "This... isn't the order from above saying that you will rest here for a long time?"
"Not long, just for one night." Hua Chun smiled, and asked Qing Ling to make a list. The quilt, food, etc. were all written and handed to the man: "Please prepare."
The defender looked at it and nodded, although he didn't know what this empress was going to do, but the emperor said that this empress would do whatever she said, so let's do it.
The city gate was guarded very well by the emperor, and even the people in Yanjing did not feel the flames of war at all. Many people spontaneously donated supplies to the army, and the soldiers outside were led by the emperor to fight the enemy bravely. The internal and external situation is very good.
However, in the end there was a huge difference in military strength, and the longer the delay, the more disadvantaged the emperor would be.
"It's been two days." He Changan frowned, "Why is there no news from Huo Zichong?"
Seeing that Prince Xi's troops have slowly moved over, they are now in a very awkward situation. There are siege outside, and Yu Wenxi is inside the palace. No one can predict how the situation will develop if they attack the traitors outside and then return to the palace to guard.
A rare look of worry appeared on Yu Wenjie's face, and he raised his hand to summon Eunuch Qin to inquire about Huo Zichong's news.
Eunuch Qin looked a little dignified, and after thinking about it, he said: "Some rumors have spread, because I don't know if it's true, so I didn't dare to report it."
"What news?" The emperor frowned.
"Some people say that General Huo led his troops into Beijing and was ambushed, and now his life and death are uncertain."
"What?!" He Changan stood up in fright: "How could this happen?"
Yu Wenjie frowned: "Chang'an, don't get excited. I haven't confirmed whether it's true or not. It's very likely that someone deliberately spread it to disturb the morale of the army. So just pretend that you haven't heard it, and continue to inquire about the news that should be inquired."
"Yes!" Eunuch Qin hurriedly backed out, and He Changan frowned: "What if it's true?"
Yu Wenjie shook his head: "Huo Zichong is not that stupid."
Even if there is an ambush, it is impossible for him to be dead, he will find a way to rush over.
He Changan was very worried. He didn't know where the emperor's confidence in Huo Zichong came from, but if the reinforcements didn't arrive on time as agreed, it would be a big blow to morale.
"How is the situation in the palace?" the emperor asked.
The eunuch next to him whispered: "The Queen Mother and Prince Xi seem to have had a dispute. Some people say that Prince Xi has already gone to Xuanzheng Palace to sit on the throne."
How courageous, there are not many of his people in Yanjing, but he dared to be so rampant, probably because he saw that the city gate was short of troops, and he didn't have the extra energy to go back and settle accounts with him, right? Yu Wenjie raised his forehead, Yu Wenxi had really declared war blatantly, and he didn't know what the Queen Mother thought.
Empress Dowager Ning was sitting in the Huiming Palace coughing and coughing, her face was a little gloomy, and Yue Jian next to her said anxiously: "Don't worry about getting angry, you are still sick."
"Why don't you get angry when you want Ai's family? He still doesn't listen to you, and even locks up Ai's family?!" The queen mother was really angry, and she never thought that her son, who she has always spoiled and spoiled, would do such a trick to herself. .
The outside is full of his people, the empress dowager can't even get out of the Huiming Palace.
"Just because the Ai family can't bear him, why do they act recklessly like this?" The queen mother said angrily, "The Ai family still has the 10,000 military power given by the late emperor!"
"Queen Mother." Yue Jian helped her calm down: "The things given by the former emperor are too far away, and we can't get in touch with the outside world. You don't need to bring those things out now, in case he hears about it. , it will be another trouble. You, you shouldn't be too straightforward. Since the prince has the upper hand in this palace, you should be angry and talk to him. If you don't listen, you will secretly think of a way. Why bother with him? Head-to-head?"
To be honest, Yue Jian felt that Prince Xi was not filial at all. Although he had been favored by the Queen Mother all the time, he only had himself in his heart and had no place for the Queen Mother at all. In contrast, although the queen mother treated the emperor badly, the emperor's filial piety was still there.
This is also a strange phenomenon. Children who are always pampered and spoiled by their parents get what they want. They often don't know how to be grateful in their hearts, and even blame their parents when they are slightly dissatisfied.
The queen mother gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice: "What can the Ai family do now to stop Xi'er?"
already locked in.
"There is still a way." Yue Jian said: "If Prince Xi really wants to ascend the throne, you can find an opportunity to announce to the world that he is not of royal blood. In this way, the prince will naturally be unable to succeed."
Of course, this is an extremely stupid method, because the consequence is that the queen mother will have to commit suicide and apologize, the prince will not end well, and the emperor may not be able to stand up.
After waving her hand, the Queen Mother sighed a long time: "Let's wait and see."
Yue Jian nodded.
The city gate could not be attacked for a long time, Yu Wenxi was a little anxious, and immediately went to the prince to discuss the marriage with the princess.
