The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After the Queen Mother and Longkodo saw Xiao Xia Zi leave, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked Longkodo, "Did you receive the message I passed on to you yesterday?"

Long Keduo nodded, and then asked in confusion: "But what happened? Why did the action suddenly move forward by so many days?"

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I didn't want to do this either, but the Emperor knew that he was not my biological son. I was worried that he would take my life, so I had to move forward."

When Longkodo heard the Queen Mother's words, he was shocked, "What? The emperor is not your biological son?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said in a somewhat sad tone, "Yes, the first child I gave birth to was a princess, but unfortunately she was born young. The late emperor loved Tong Jia, so he privately negotiated with me to foster the emperor under my name so that Tong Jia could raise her own child."

When Longkodo heard the Queen Mother's words, he shook his head in disapproval, "You are confused. The emperor is not your biological son, so how can you let him ascend the throne?"

The Queen Mother was very displeased and said excitedly: "Do you think I want to? If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor was born to Tong Jia and the Emperor favored him and secretly paved a way for him before the nine princes fought for the throne, do you think he could ascend to the throne? Do you think I won't regret it?"

Longkodo wanted to say something else, but the Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Now is the time to waste. There will be plenty of opportunities for me to discuss this with you in detail. Today, we must succeed, not fail. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

After hearing this, Longkodo nodded and said, "I know. Before I entered the palace today, I arranged a hundred black-armored soldiers and two hundred death warriors in advance. They will break into the palace at 9:00 pm. Today's event will definitely not fail."

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard what Longkodo said, and her heart gradually calmed down. They all thought that the emperor would not know their plan, and the emperor would not have too many guards if he summoned them temporarily, so these three hundred guards would be enough.

The Queen Mother suddenly thought of something and looked at Longkodo and asked, "Have you sent anyone to capture the Imperial Concubine?"

Longkodo nodded, then asked in confusion: "Why do you have to get rid of the Imperial Concubine today? Aren't you a little too hasty?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "The Imperial Concubine must be removed. Don't forget that her family was once a military commander in the imperial court. If she is not removed today, I am always worried that something unexpected will happen."

Longkodo nodded and said, "Okay, I've arranged for someone to go with us, don't worry."

Time passed quickly and it was already the hour of Si. The palace gates were wide open and the guards at the gate were nowhere to be found. A group of men in black looked at each other but did not think much about it. They thought that the empress dowager had transferred the guards away in advance and they went straight into the Forbidden City and rushed towards the emperor's bedroom.

When one group of assassins was still a short distance away from the Yangxin Palace, they changed direction and headed towards the Yikun Palace.

Nian Shilan was talking to Songzhi in Yiku Palace, while Songzhi was busy embroidering small clothes for the baby in Nian Shilan's belly.

A few days ago, Doctor Wen came to take Nian Shilan's pulse and inferred from the pulse that this baby was a girl. Songzhi was a little disappointed, but Nian Shilan was very happy.

The eunuch guarding the gate of Yikun Palace at this time was Xiao Xia Zi, the emperor. Last night, the emperor sent Xiao Xia Zi and several guards to Yikun Palace. Nian Shilan was a little surprised, but the emperor said that he knew Zhou Ninghai was treating his leg and was worried that there would be no servants to serve in Yikun Palace, so he sent Xiao Xia Zi to Yikun Palace. As for the guards who were transferred here, it was because they were worried that Nian Shilan was pregnant and was framed. Nian Shilan remembered the incident with the poisonous snake a few days ago, and she didn't suspect anything. After thanking the emperor, she kept the guards.

When the assassins arrived at the gate of Yikun Palace, they saw guards guarding the gate from afar. The assassins felt something was wrong and suspected that they had fallen into a trap. However, when they wanted to turn around and leave, the guards at the gate of Yikun Palace rushed up and fought with them.

Seeing this situation, the dead soldiers no longer cared about anything else. They started a fierce battle with the guards without hesitation. In just a moment, the weapons collided, making crisp collisions and harsh friction sounds, like firecrackers. The sound echoed in the air, making people shudder and feel fear. Every time the swords collided, it seemed that the breath of death was coming, making people shudder. The whole scene became chaotic and bloody, as if they were in hell.

Nian Shilan also heard the noise coming from outside the hall. She couldn't help but panic and started walking towards the door.

Before Nian Shilan even reached the palace gate, Xiao Xiazi stopped her, "Royal Concubine, the Emperor has ordered that no matter what happens today, you don't have to care about it, and just stay in Yikun Palace."

When Nian Shilan heard Xiao Xiazi's words, her heart froze. She looked at Xiao Xiazi with a trace of despair rising from the bottom of her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "What happened outside the door? The emperor knows, right?"

When Xiao Xiazi heard Nian Shilan's question, she hesitated a little, but finally gritted her teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Emperor has made all preparations and will definitely protect you."

When Nian Shilan heard Xiao Xia Zi's words, her heart ached. Even though Nian Shilan no longer had any feelings for the emperor, he was still the father of her child. Based on this relationship, Nian Shilan still had some expectations of the emperor, but now her expectations were ultimately dashed.

After a long time, the fighting outside the door stopped, and Nian Shilan stood in the courtyard of Yikun Palace in a daze, not knowing what was happening outside, nor who would come in next. Nian Shilan knew that the best thing to do at this time was to return to the bedroom and close the gatehouse, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move a step.

There was a knock on the door. When Xiao Xia Zi heard the sound, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The person outside the door must not be the guards arranged by the emperor, because they had agreed long ago that if the rebels were eliminated, they would only continue to guard outside the door and would never enter without permission.

The knocks on the door became more urgent. Xiao Xiazi looked back at Nian Shilan worriedly and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please go back to the palace and close the door. Don't come out no matter what."

Songzhi came out with Nian Shilan, so she knew every word Nian Shilan said to Xiao Xiazi. After hearing Xiao Xiazi's words, she quickly supported Nian Shilan and went back to the palace, "My queen, my good queen, please don't make a mistake at this critical moment. You are still pregnant with the heir to the throne. Come with me into the palace."

At this moment, Nian Shilan was like a wooden stake nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. Just when Songzhi and Xiao Xiazi were anxious, the gate of Yikun Palace was broken open by the assassins outside.
