On the carriage, the Eldest Princess was sipping tea slowly, while Gu Ning on the opposite side looked at her eagerly, but she refused to speak.

"Grandmother, I'll pour you tea." Gu Ning leaned close to her and filled the tea she just took a sip of like a dog.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" The eldest princess glanced lightly at Gu Ning, feeling very helpless. Her granddaughter is eccentric, and after hearing that the king of Shu rebelled, she might have other thoughts.

Gu Ning held the teacup with a smile, and smiled obediently at the eldest princess: "I just want to know why the king of Shu suddenly conspired against him."

She wrung her fingers and counted one by one: "The king of Shu has no children, even if he wins the throne, it is useless, and I heard that he has always respected the emperor, and this time he only brought two hundred guards to Beijing. Such a person , I really can’t think of the reason for his rebellion.”

Hearing this, Princess Dachang chuckled lightly: "The king of Shu is not born with the inability to make people pregnant."

With just one sentence, Gu Ning got some other meanings out of it: "Could it be that this has something to do with the emperor?"

The eldest princess nodded slightly: "Yes, those who know about this are all old people in Beijing. When the late emperor was still there, the king of Shu was only 17 years old. Zhi Chengwan actually married the sixth prince at that time, who is now the emperor's side concubine, and then for some reason, a concubine in the Shu Palace was pregnant but had a miscarriage. Since then, there have been no women in the Shu Palace. One is pregnant."

She spoke lightly, with a smile in her eyes, and no other emotions could be seen from her face.

But Gu Ning felt for no reason that the relationship between the eldest princess and the king of Shu was not good.

Facing Gu Ning's bright eyes, the Eldest Princess chuckled, and gently patted her on the head: "Don't say anything about today's matter."

"I didn't reveal a word of what my grandmother said to me." Gu Ning said seriously, "I know the seriousness."

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled softly, and glanced at Gu Ning meaningfully: "The people I'm talking about include Chunyu and Xie Yan."

Gu Ning thumped in his heart: "Xie Yan? Don't you treat Xie Yan..."

"Some things are not told to protect you." The Eldest Princess gently held her hand, her tone was gentle, but she did not allow Gu Ning to refuse, "Ning'er, you will know when the truth comes out. "

The truth is revealed?

Could it be Xie Yan's background?But why did the eldest princess want to guard against Xie Yan?Could it be that she and Xie Yan had an internal quarrel?

Gu Ning's beautiful eyes were full of doubts. Seeing her clear and lingling eyes, the eldest princess's expression relaxed a little, and she only comforted her: "Don't worry, Xie Yan is the person your uncle likes, I am It won't hurt him, but you are different from him..."

She deliberately blurred her words, Gu Ning had no choice but to put away her doubts, and leaned against the carriage sullenly.

If I had known that she would not have pretended to be stupid, otherwise I would not have been excluded if something happened. Although it was to protect her, she was not willing to be trapped in the cage.

Gu Ning was full of doubts in his heart, secretly thinking that he must go to see Xie Yan later, and ask some news from him.

Suddenly, the eldest princess' voice rang in her ears again: "A big event is going to happen in the capital tonight, Xie Yan has a mission and can't protect you."

"I……"

Before Gu Ning could speak, he was tapped on the head by the eldest princess: "I watched you grow up, why don't you know your little thoughts? No matter what plans you have in mind, you can't do it these days Take a step out of Pei Mansion! Do you understand?"

The eldest princess's kind smile gradually faded, replaced by a serious and cold expression: "You must protect your mother! She...has paid a lot for you."

Hearing this, Gu Ning immediately suppressed the little thought in his heart.

The left and right eldest princesses will not harm her. Although the current luck value has dropped to a negative value due to the operation at the birthday banquet, she has Xie Yan, and a few kisses can make up for it.

Thinking of this, her eyes became clear again.

"I will definitely protect my mother." Gu Ning said word by word.

……

The night gradually deepened, except for Mingguifang, most of the other cities fell into silence, the capital city was shrouded in night, and the high city wall looked like a huge monster with a huge mouth in the abyss in the night.

The golden wheat field outside the city gate is no longer visible in the night, only the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat field can confirm the existence of this wheat field.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the wheat field blown by the breeze.

The rustling sound came from all directions, disturbing the silent night.

In the wheat field, the armor of the soldiers reflects the cold white moonlight, which has a kind of sad meaning.

"Boss, this city wall is so high, can we really attack it?"

"Don't talk bad words!" The leading general impatiently scolded the ignorant soldiers around him, and said in a deep voice, "Since the prince asked us to attack the city, he must have made sufficient preparations!"

At this moment, the tall city gate suddenly moved.

All the soldiers held their breaths, watching the city gate being opened from the inside, and slowly opened the "huge mouth of the abyss".

Inside and outside the city gate, there were only a few torches burning. The streets in the city were like a bottomless cliff, and no one dared to take a step forward.

"look up!"

The soldiers in the wheat field looked up subconsciously, and saw the flag with the emblem of Shu land waving in the night sky.

The generals who led the troops finally gained confidence. After the people in the city gave the signal, a large number of troops walked into the capital they had dreamed of.

……

Inside the Tai Chi Hall, the red candle tents are warming up.

Concubine Shu sat on the emperor's body, her well-maintained face showed no signs of aging.

She let out a long sigh of relief, as melodious as an oriole.

"The emperor is so powerful." She delicately drew circles on the emperor, "The ministers and concubines are almost unable to hold on."

The emperor was very excited to be praised like this.

But when he wanted to do another round, he felt a little weak.

However, Concubine Ai was looking at him with expectant eyes, he gritted his teeth, took a pitch-black pill, hugged Concubine Shu's waist, and fell down on the bed.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Chen said that this elixir can only be taken once a day, and this is your second one..." Although Concubine Shu wanted to be favored, she did not dare to take the emperor's body seriously.

The emperor waved his hand: "I am strong and healthy, but I just took an extra elixir, what's the big deal?" He put his arms around Concubine Shu's waist, smiled and took off all the few clothes left by Concubine Shu down.

Just when the arrow was on the string, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong!"

Accompanied by Eunuch Li's panicked voice, there was also a roar from a distance.

"Lord Miehun! Support the orthodoxy!"

"The emperor killed his father and brother! The king of Shu is doing justice for the heavens! Still haven't opened the city gate?"

Although these people were far away, the sound of thousands of people shouting together was enough for the emperor in the Tai Chi Hall to hear clearly.

His body trembled for a while, his eyes were bloodshot and he threw off Concubine Shu who was on him, and he staggered out of the bed without caring about his clothes.

"Where is the imperial army?" The emperor gritted his teeth, "They are all dead? Where did Pei An go when he died?"

Eunuch Li walked into the hall with the head of the guard in the palace. Looking at the unsightly utensils in the hall, a glimmer of darkness flashed across the eyes of the head of the guard. General Pei went to the West Camp, and most of the imperial guards are still in the West Camp."

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly remembered the decision he had made a few days ago—the vassal princes would enter the capital. He was worried that they would collude with Pei Anlin, so he quickly dispatched Pei Anlin to the West Camp to train the new imperial troops. There were many others he had doubts about. All the generals were also sent to nearby barracks.

Now the capital...

"How many people did the King of Shu bring?" The emperor gritted his teeth, "How many people are available in Beijing, let them go to the palace gate to block them all! Be sure to wait until Pei Anlin leads his troops to come to the rescue!"

"The King of Shu's army came quietly. I am afraid that there are internal responses in the city. Now the guards at the city gate have been replaced by their people. I just glanced at the palace wall. The people brought by the King of Shu are at least [-], the outside of the palace wall was filled with darkness, and there are only [-] imperial troops in our palace."

Hearing these words, the emperor's eyes darkened. He leaned on the desk and managed to stabilize his figure.

He never expected that he was guarding against the vassal king's collusion with those generals, but in the end he hurt himself!

The hall was extremely quiet, and the chief guard lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to speak in front of the emperor.

After a while, he pulled himself together, gritted his teeth and asked, "How long can you defend with 2000 people?"

"Half an hour." The chief guard lowered his head, and as soon as he finished speaking, a brush was thrown straight at him.

The brush washer was made of jade, so hard that it caused the chief guard's forehead to ooze blood on the spot, but he still knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor to speak.

After a while, the emperor overturned the case table heavily, and said in a hateful voice: "Watch for half an hour! Xiying leaves the palace gate, and half an hour is enough! If Pei Anlin can't arrive, then he will wait for the door to be executed." Bar!"

After that, he strode out with great strides.

Behind him, Concubine Shu staggered to put on her clothes, and stumbled after him.

"Your majesty, wait for my concubine!" Concubine Shu forced a smile, "This concubine still wants to protect you!"

Seeing her frail body standing in front of him without hesitation, the emperor felt warm: "Don't worry, my concubine, I have my own place to go."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu secretly made plans in her heart.

The emperor is most afraid of death, and now he wants to leave the Tai Chi Hall, there must be another way to escape!

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head, took the emperor's arm, and looked around vigilantly: "The emperor should take the concubine with him, if there is any danger at that time, the concubine is willing to defend the emperor even if it is to protect the emperor." Yes! At least I can save you, the emperor!"

The emperor was greatly moved, so he took Concubine Shu out.
