Everyone was not surprised to hear this decree.

Now that the queen is gone, someone has to manage the harem.

At this critical juncture, compared to those who have princes and are left with the black-eyed chicken, everyone would rather the "hopeless" Concubine Xi be in charge of the harem.

After leaving the palace, Concubine Xi said to Concubine Xian and the others, "Your Majesty is getting better. Sisters, rest assured. Take good care of the prince and don't make any mistakes."

Back in Xingning Palace, Concubine Xi was lying on the couch. Liuli pinched her shoulders and whispered, "The Crown Prince is finished this time, and the Queen is also finished. Your Majesty, do you want to…"

Concubine Xi interrupted her and said, "Liuli, go to Qingpu Garden."

She asked Liuli to pick up Xie Zhaozhao and bring her to the palace.

The prince is attacking the city. Once the city is broken, it might be very dangerous in Qingpu Garden, so he lets her into the palace to be with her.

Even if the gates of the capital were broken, even if Wei Jingzhong had planned for decades, it would still be extremely difficult to break through the several gates of the imperial palace.

Liuli obeyed the order, but was stopped when leaving the palace.

The imperial guards said, "Your Majesty has ordered that no one in the palace may enter or leave without your permission."

Liuli said that she was following the order of Concubine Xi to pick up Madam Gu. The imperial guards shook their heads and said that no one could be treated specially.

Liuli had no choice but to return to Xingning Palace.

At the end of the Shen time (5:00 p.m.), the imperial guards guarding the city came hurriedly with blood all over their heads and faces.

"Report ~ South Gate was defeated and the city gate was breached."

The imperial rescue army was intercepted by Wei Jingzhong's army halfway and could not arrive for a while.

The South Gate was breached and all the imperial guards guarding the city were killed.

They died from attacks from both inside and outside.

All the rebels were like chickens with their blood pumped up, stepping on the blood of the imperial guards and rushing towards the palace, howling.

The Imperial Street outside the palace was filled with the imperial guards of the three divisions. This was the last line of defense leading to the palace.

The Imperial Street was flooded with blood.

In Qingpu Garden, in the afterglow of the setting sun, you can clearly see the imperial guards fighting in a bloody battle, and you can clearly see the Imperial Street stained red with blood.

The flower beds, trees and sunlight on the street are all blood-red.

Listening to the report from the soldiers in the lookout tower, Xie Zhaozhao and Old Madam Xie looked solemn.

Even though the situation was so tragic, they did not mobilize anyone in the mansion to provide rescue.

It’s not that she is disloyal to the king, but she has to protect herself first.

There are only one or two hundred soldiers from the palace, and this amount of manpower is not enough to even fill the gaps in the teeth of the rebels.

She wanted to protect Qingpuyuan, all the women in her mother's family, her brother's unborn child, and her child with Gu Shaoyu.

The sky gradually darkened. The rebels were fighting outside the palace and advancing towards the palace step by step.

The prince led his men and finally reached the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace.

"Siege!"

The prince, who was furious, shouted, "Father, please open the palace gates and abdicate the throne to me. I will definitely make you the emperor emeritus and live out your life in peace."

No one ignored him.

The rebels began to attack the Meridian Gate.

The sound of banging on the palace gate was louder than the city bells.

It was earth-shattering and everyone was terrified.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, there was suddenly a deafening cry of killing outside the capital city. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a cavalry force of 10,000 people charged towards the capital city.

This cavalry is extremely well-equipped.

If Emperor Hui were there, he would recognize the people leading the group.

Gu Shaoyu, Xie Yu, Yin Jinan, Li Yunmu, and a bearded man whom Emperor Hui did not recognize.

"Loyalty to the King! Loyalty to the King! Open the door quickly!"

Outside the city gate, the army stopped and Gu Shaoyu shouted loudly towards the city wall.

The people guarding the city gate are now the prince's rebels, so how could they open the gate for him!

The Wei family's party members on the city wall shouted, "Lord Gu, surrender! Your Highness has entered the palace, and His Majesty has decided to abdicate to His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Gu Shaoyu heard him say that the prince had already attacked the palace, he retreated with Xie Yu and others, preparing to attack the city with force.

Yin Jinan urged his horse to the outside of the city gate and shouted: "You bastards on the city wall, I am your Second Master Yin, and I never suffer injustice. Count down to three, if you don't open the city gate, I will not be polite."

The people on the city gate laughed and cursed: "How dare you, a bastard, call us your master? Believe it or not, if you say one more word, we will cut off your head and use it as a urinal!"

Yin Jinan said to Ren Jialin: "Old Ren, you are good at martial arts, show them how powerful you are!"

He said to Xie Yu: "Brother Xie, tell your people to step back."

Xie Yu waved the flag to the people behind him.

The 20,000 people and Gu Shaoyu all retreated.

Yin Jinan also stepped back.

Ren Jialin picked up a clay pot bomb, lit it, and threw it directly at the gate, three in a row.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

The door is broken!

"Kill~"

"Boom!"

Ren Jialin led a dozen martial arts masters to rush up to the city wall, specifically killing the defenders holding bows and crossbows, while the others used clay pots and thunder to clear the way.

The South Gate is broken!

Led by Gu Shaoyu, Xie Yu, Yin Jinan, Li Yunmu and Ren Jialin, the 20,000-strong army rushed into the city like lightning with the sound of horse hooves overwhelming.

The tall coachman pulled the carriage and whipped the horse hard as he rushed towards the palace.

"Drive~"

Because it was already night, Gu Shaoyu was afraid of causing accidental injuries, so he rode his horse while telling people to shout "Serve the King" to avoid the blood-thirsty imperial guards from shooting them because they could not see clearly which was the enemy and which was the enemy in the dark.

Outside the palace, they encountered the prince's army. Gu Shaoyu ordered Nanxing and others to hold torches and shout towards the palace.

"I am Gu Shaoyu from the Cabinet. I am late in coming to your rescue. Please move aside, Imperial Guards. Leave this place to us!"

"I am Yin Jin'an, the chief of the imperial guards in front of the palace. I am late in coming to your rescue. Please get out of the way immediately."

"I am Li Yunmu from the Duke of Yingzhou..."

"I am Xie Yu, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue..."

"I am Ling Xun, the Minister of Works..."

The last person in prison uniform shouted, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Zhou Yukang is late in coming to your rescue!"

King Rong!

Several people shouted that most of the imperial guards outside the city had been killed or wounded in the fight with the rebels. The imperial guards inside the city immediately rushed to the inner city to report to Emperor Hui.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gu, Lord Yin, the Second Lord of the Palace Guards, Li Yunmu of the Duke of Ying, Xie Yu, the Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, Ling Xun, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, and Prince Rong, bring people to rescue you."

Emperor Hui had been sitting there with a gloomy face for a whole day. When he heard the news, he suddenly stood up and asked, "Who will come to save me?"

The imperial guards repeated their words.

Emperor Hui suddenly slammed the table and said, "Nonsense, where did they get the soldiers from?"

Isn't this a suicide?

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several earth-shaking "boom" sounds, which shook his body.

"What's going on?" Emperor Hui said to the imperial guards in surprise, "Go and investigate!"

He looked anxiously at the palace gate and said, "I'll go and take a look."

Prince Jing said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty has not yet recovered from the poison, it is best for you to rest."

After a while, there were several loud "boom" and "boom" noises.

"Kill~"

"Kill~"

The imperial guards outside rushed in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Tell me, how is Lord Gu?"

"The rebels, the rebels suffered countless casualties, Elder Gu, Xiao Xie and others are fine."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's explore further."

Outside the palace, the several carriages that followed Gu Shaoyu and Yin Jinan in had all the earthenware bombs thrown out one by one.

After fighting with the soldiers of the Bingmasi outside the four city gates, the rebels fought with the imperial guards and rushed to the outside of the Meridian Gate with a total of more than 30,000 people.

Originally, we thought that with so many people, it would be no problem to take over the palace. However, who knew what kind of sorcery that traitor Gu Shaoyu used? After dozens of "booms", there were serious casualties.

At nightfall, their retreat was blocked by the 20,000 people led by Gu Shaoyu and Xie Yu. About 30% of them were killed by explosions, trampled to death, or drowned in the moat.

Emperor Hui no longer lay down. He sat up, resting his arms on the dragon table, staring straight at the palace door.

When the imperial guards reported that the city gate had been breached, all the inner and outer gates of the palace were closed.

All the imperial guards reported the news through the door, on the steps outside.

"Report ~ Elder Gu, Yindu Yuhou and others have killed most of the enemies outside."

"Report: Most of the rebels were killed and captured"

"Report~The rebels have surrendered"

……

At the hour of Hai, the rebels were destroyed.
