"Mother, we have no way out."

The queen took a deep breath, regained her former composure, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and summon my younger brother, quickly!"

The queen's brother was originally the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, but during the two days when the emperor was unconscious, they quietly killed the original commander, and now the entire imperial army fell into the hands of the queen's brother.

The man took the order and immediately left Fengyi Palace.

The queen thought deeply for a moment and finally remembered someone, "Where is Xie Chunchao?"

"Mother, the princess has gone out today."

"Going out?! Where are you going? Is there anyone following you?"

"Don't worry, Madam. Jiang Laifu is following. I heard that he went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers."

The Queen's heart always felt like it was beating hard, and she always had a premonition of being unworthy, "Quick, go and take this person back!"

"Going right now!"

Xie Chunchao is one of her most important hostages. As long as Xie Chunchao is around, she can control the King of Liao.

only……

The queen closed her eyes. Maybe she shouldn't be soft-hearted and should have locked her in the room like Xiyao from the beginning.

But when she saw Xie Chunchao, she always thought of her daughter. If it hadn't been for Xie Chunchao's persuasion, her daughter might have died long ago with her stubborn temperament.

Not long ago, she received a letter from Liyang.

The letter said that she was living well in Qinger, so she didn't have to worry about it, and that although her current husband was a little rude, he was very kind to her.

Although she can only see the words, Liyang is the queen's biological child. She knows Liyang better than herself. She can feel from the lines of Liyang's words that she is really happy now.

He even has a freedom that he never had when he went to the tomb.

At the end of the letter, Liyang also asked her to take good care of Xie Chunchao if she could take care of her in the future.

She was taking advantage of Xie Chunchao, but there was also some gratitude to her.

Kong Shen, the queen's brother, soon arrived.

"Sister, why did you call me here?"

The queen kept her story short, "The emperor is awake. I want you to seal the palace gate immediately. No one except our people is allowed to enter the palace."

Although Kong Shen was not in the palace today, he also learned about the emperor's awakening on the way here.

He hesitated for a moment, "Sister, do you really want to do this? Why don't you forget it, the emperor may not be able to find us."

The queen immediately glared at him, "Are you scared now? Do you want to retreat?"

"Let me tell you, the emperor is not an idiot! He will soon find out who I am, do you think you can escape?"

"Are you going to wait for the emperor to punish your nine tribes?"

"If we don't fight now, we will only die!"

Kong Shen trembled and said, "Sister, I understand, and I will do as you say immediately."

Queen: "Assemble the troops and horses immediately. We will take action tonight. By the way, tell the third prince to also mobilize the troops and horses outside the city and enter the palace at midnight."

"This time you win or die, you..." the queen took a deep breath, "you must proceed with caution."

"I see."

After the queen arranged everything, she was still worried about the King of Liao who was still in the tomb.

The King of Liao was very loyal to the Emperor, and if he knew about it, he would lead his troops to protect the Emperor regardless.

And Xie Chunchao, the only one who could check and balance the King of Liao, disappeared again.

She rubbed her temples, hoping they could bring Xie Chunchao back.

"Empress, let me massage your head."

After hearing this, the queen let go of her hand and leaned on the soft pillow to fall asleep. She looked calm, but inside she was like an ant on a hot pot.

But she can't show her cowardice. She is the backbone of everyone. If she is afraid, how can this happen?

"Empress, what's wrong!" The eunuch trotted in in a hurry, "Princess Chunhua has gone to Tai Chi Hall!"

"What?" the queen gritted her teeth and asked, "Did she say when she would come back?"

"No, when did she go to Tai Chi Hall today?" The queen finally came to her senses and asked urgently.

The eunuch understood what the Queen wanted to know and said, "When Princess Chunhua left, the emperor was not awake yet, but he woke up about an hour after she left."

The truth came out at this moment. There was nothing wrong with the poison they administered. It was Xie Chunchao who saved the emperor.

The queen gritted her teeth and said, "I really underestimated her!"

Also, how could the person who could say those words to Liyang really be a simple girl who didn't understand anything?

"Where's Jiang Laifu?"

"Hasn't he been following Xie Chunchao? How come he is following him?"

"Mother, when we were styling Jiang Laifu's hair, he was already knocked unconscious..."

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!"

The queen shouted sternly, "Go! I don't care what you think of! Bring Xie Chunchao back to me!"

The third prince wanted to visit his father after going to court, but before he entered the Tai Chi Hall, he heard someone from the palace coming to report that the emperor was awake.

He suddenly broke into a cold sweat, turned around and left the palace.

On the way, he received another message from his uncle, asking him to mobilize troops as soon as possible and start an attack tonight.

His hands and feet were cold from panic, but he also understood that the arrow had to be fired...

Now he and his mother have no retreat...

The winner is the king and the loser is tonight.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor listened calmly to the reports of his subordinates. He sneered, "Do they also want to rebel against me?"

The Emperor: "Send a message to Shen Zhao, the King of Liao, and order them to enter the palace tonight to kill the rebels!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Army is now in Kong Shen's hands. I'm afraid they won't be able to get in."

"Does he really think that if the commander dies, he, Kong Shen, will be able to take charge of the Imperial Army? It's a joke."

As the emperor spoke, he wrote down several names of people in succession and handed them to Liang Changshan, "Go to them, they know what to do."

These people were the emperor's secret dwarfs in the Forbidden Army. Even the former commander of the Forbidden Army did not know their true identity.

The emperor is very suspicious, and no one will believe him 100%, so he lays hidden secrets everywhere and is happy to watch those who fight each other.

"Yes."

After Liang Changshan left, the emperor sneered again and again. Unexpectedly, the lineage of the Liao king that he had guarded his whole life would be rebelled against by his own son.

A long sigh came from the Tai Chi Hall,

"Royal brother, don't blame your brother."

"You are just excellent yourself, and the children you gave birth to are so excellent. Even none of my children can compare with them. How can you let the emperor feel at ease?"

"If you complain, you can only complain about being born in the royal family."

The emperor propped his head and stroked the folding book handed to him by King Liao on the desk.

I don’t think I’ve treated you badly. Whether it’s you or your children, I’ve given them all gold, silver, wealth, favor and status, even far better than my own children.

As he spoke, a stern look flashed in his eyes. He failed to kill Xie Ningyu at the border last time.

This opportunity was right in front of him, and he couldn't miss it.

Tonight, he will eliminate all those who may threaten his throne one by one.

Brother, you once said you were willing to sacrifice your life for your brother, so tonight is the time for you to fulfill your promise.

You don't have to worry about being alone down there, your brother will reunite your family soon.
