When the first cannon rang out, there was a mess in the East Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The prince woke up from the bed, and he asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?" The sound of artillery from somewhere. ā
"Your Highness, we don't know, this voice has just sounded."
A group of palace maids serving in the dormitory said delicately that since Xiao Wenxuan was bedridden, the prince acted recklessly, and the palace maids who were rare in the palace were all swept to the east palace to sleep.
These days, he has learned the unscrupulous scruples of being an emperor, and because of this, he is more and more obsessed with the supreme power, as long as he can ascend the throne as emperor, no one in the world will be able to restrain him from now on.
This country will be trampled under his feet, the wealth and beauties of this world will be taken into his arms, and he will live an unscrupulous life, and he will no longer have to worry about being scolded by Xiao Wenxuan.
But at the same time, he was also more and more afraid of losing it all, and he was awakened from his dreams several times these days.
Pushing his bare body away from the bed, the prince ran out disheveled, although he was incompetent, he knew that something big had definitely happened when the cannon sounded.
As soon as he rushed to the door, Wang Xi hurriedly ran over, and when he saw the crown prince, Wang Xi panicked and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, something is wrong, the firearms camp is reversed!" ā
"What!" The prince was shocked when he heard this, "What about Yang Zhen?" Why didn't he detect it in advance! ā
Wang Xi said hatefully: "Your Highness, Yang Zhen, a person from Lijingmen, has not gone back for two days and two nights, and now no one knows where he went. ā
This news made the prince's heart tyrannical, and a kind of anger of betrayal made him want to kill Yang Zhen and Du Zhen now, but now he understood that it was not the time to care about this.
He said: "You immediately notify the right guards to quell the rebellion, and let the city defense battalion close the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave, as long as King Zhao's soldiers and horses arrive, the city gate can be opened." ā
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Xi heard the words and walked out.
After giving the order, the crown prince was still not at ease, he called the guards and ordered the guards of the outer palace to close the palace gate immediately and not allow anyone to enter the palace, but the words of the guards made him suddenly shocked.
"Du Yu has entered the palace!" The prince was furious and said, "Kill him immediately." ā
At this time, Du Yu, who arrived at the palace in the morning in the carriage of Princess Pingyang, had already entered the inner palace, and he knew very well that he was no longer worthy of the trust of others after he took refuge with the prince.
And Princess Pingyang took him in overnight because she was wary of him.
It's just that unlike Yang Zhen's betrayal, he pretended to take refuge with the crown prince and did act on orders, and now he will prove his innocence with his actions.
"General Du, you're really early." Zhao Yujie yawned, and he led people to keep watch in front of the door all night.
Du Yu smiled and walked to Zhao Yujie's side as usual to prepare for the handover, but just when Zhao Yujie was not prepared, he suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed at Zhao Yujie's throat.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, and the hundred guards at the door were immediately shocked.
A soldier came back to his senses and shouted: "Du Yu rebelled, and there is no mercy for killing." ā
The guards reacted and immediately rushed towards Du Yu, and at this moment, the sound of "whoosh" sounded, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot at the guards at the door.
There was a miserable howl, and half of the guards outside the Bishui Pavilion fell, and the remaining guards looked at where the arrows came from, only to see the inner palace guards in black armor surging from all directions, like a torrent of steel.
"The prince plotted against the king, the emperor has an order, and all the princes will be killed with the party." Du Yu said loudly.
The remaining guards in front of the Bishui Pavilion suddenly woke up, and they understood that Du Yu had never been loyal to the prince.
They glanced at each other, did not surrender, nor did they meet the enemy, but turned around and rushed towards the Bishui Pavilion, they also had a secret order on them, if there was an accident, they would immediately kill everyone in the Bishui Pavilion.
"Kill!" The rebel guards shouted and rushed towards the Blue Water Pavilion.
This sudden sound alarmed the palace maids in the Bishui Pavilion, and when they saw more than fifty guards waving machetes and rushing towards them, the palace maids' faces suddenly turned pale with fright.
Liuli stood in front of the thirty palace maids at this time, her body trembled in the face of these guards, after all, she was just a woman, how could she not be afraid of such a scene now.
But at this time, behind her were Concubine Zhen and the emperor, and just as the rebel guards rushed in front of them, Liuli suddenly shouted in a crisp voice: "Shoot." ā
With that, she suddenly took out a short-barreled musket from her sleeve, and with a "bang", the Praetorian guard who rushed to the front fell in response.
The other palace ladies also raised their muskets tremblingly, and at this time, in order to survive, they overcame their fear of muskets and pulled the trigger on the rushing guards one by one.
"Bang bang ......" continuous sound sounded, and half of the rebel Praetorian guards fell.
The rest of the guards were shocked when they saw this, and they couldn't help but hesitate, and at this moment, Du Yu arrived with people, and the two sides immediately fought.
Relying on his strong martial arts and large numbers, Du Yu quickly killed the rebellious guards.
At this time, Du Yu looked at Liuli who was still holding a short-barreled musket and refused to put it down, and said, "Miss Liuli, I am here to protect the emperor." ā
When the prince broke into the Bishui Pavilion that day, Liuli knew that this time there was a lot of bad luck, as Concubine Zhen's henchman, Liuli and Li San naturally had contact outside the palace many times.
And when the King of Qi sent a gift to Concubine Zhen, Li San sent a box of muskets to the palace and instructed her not to use them until the critical moment.
Now that the lives of Concubine Zhen and the emperor are in danger, she can only take out a musket and teach the palace ladies how to use it.
"You have taken refuge in the prince, deceit!" Ruri reprimanded.
Du Yu smiled bitterly, now he can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River.
"Ruri, let him in." Suddenly, Concubine Zhen's voice sounded, and at the door of the inner hall, Concubine Zhen walked out with Xiao Wenxuan in her arms, "If he wants to kill us, he doesn't need to waste so many chapters." ā
"Your Majesty." Seeing Xiao Wenxuan, Du Yu looked excited.
The cannon outside the city rumbled, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the palace, at this time Xiao Wenxuan said: "It seems that Luo Quan already knows what is happening in the palace, I am really blind, and I have believed the slander of traitors all my life, and I have failed the courtiers who are loyal to me." ā
"Your Majesty, not only General Luo, but also His Royal Highness King Qi are also in the city, and they are preparing to rescue the emperor and Concubine Zhen." Du Yu said: "According to the time of the discussion, they will arrive in less than half an hour. ā
Xiao Wenxuan coughed violently twice, and he said, "No, you just need to escape with Concubine Zhen and my will, and I will delay time for you." ā
