rebirth will be hard to find

The battlefield outside the palace gate was already raging like a raging fire, but the palace was temporarily calm.

Chu Yi sat in the Longteng Hall, and after Xu Ze had finished prescribing the medicine, he sent the palace servants to the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.She herself was standing outside the bedroom and waiting, not only waiting for the palace attendant to get the medicine, but also waiting for Li Lin to come back and tell her about the battle situation at the palace gate.

Li Lin came back a little later than Chu Yi expected. He looked a little embarrassed, but generally speaking, there was nothing wrong.

Chu Yi went up to meet him personally, and asked him, "How is the battle at the palace gate?"

Li Lin was still a little shocked when he thought of the arrows flying all over the sky, so he calmed down and said: "It's already started, I haven't been able to go up to the tower, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are outside. His Royal Highness, let someone tell you that it's okay, and Zi'an is fine." I have already gone to the tower to find the prince."

It was expected by Chu Yi that the war happened so quickly, because the capital is not the home of those vassal kings, they bring not many soldiers and horses, and the only way to succeed in rebellion is to fight fast, it is best to fight fast. The palace guards were caught off guard.If they could reach the palace and take down the emperor and crown prince and her, even if the troops in Beijing had reacted, they would have already secured their victory.

His Royal Highness has already made arrangements, Chu Yi will not worry about the final result of this battle, but even so, she frowned slightly when she heard Li Lin's words - although the result is already doomed, but the process can be unpredictable There are too many variables, the prince and Zi'an both went to the battlefield, as long as the war is not over, and they haven't returned safely, her heart will not be at ease.

"It's okay, this battle will reach a conclusion in an hour or two at most, you can rest here first." Chu Yi said to Li Lin like this, but subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace gate.It's just that it was too far away from the Dragon Hall, so she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't even hear the loud shouts of killing at the gate of the palace.

Li Lin was originally planning to follow the path of a civil servant, and he was completely out of touch with wars, so naturally he didn't have any ambitions to make trouble at this time.Hearing Chu Yi's order, he didn't refuse, but he didn't dare to go into the dormitory. He just found a seat on the edge of the steps where Chu Yi was standing, and waited for the two hours to pass with peace of mind.

Time is always in a hurry on weekdays, and the passing speed is so fast that people feel that they cannot be grasped at all.But today, these two hours seem to be particularly difficult. Chu Yi has been standing at the door waiting for the battle report, but she can't wait, which makes her gradually a little anxious.

"Your Highness, why haven't you taken the medicine back?" A voice suddenly sounded beside Chu Yi, waking her up when she had been distracted.

When Chu Yi turned around, he saw Chu Jingmo came out of the bedroom at some point.She was distracted before, and didn't hear what Chu Jingmo said just now, so she asked in a daze, "What?"

Chu Jingmo seemed a little helpless, and his eyebrows were also a little anxious: "Your Highness, the palace servants sent to the Imperial Hospital have not yet retrieved the medicine, and the medicine stored in the Longteng Palace is not good enough. Your Majesty's situation cannot be delayed."

Hearing this, Chu Yi remembered that besides waiting for Li Lin at the door, he was also waiting for the waiter who was going to get the medicine from the imperial hospital.She suddenly realized that the servant had been away for a long time, so she hurriedly summoned a guard and said: "Go to the imperial hospital to find the servant who went to get the medicine before, if you can't find him, you can get the medicine back yourself." She said for a while , and asked Chu Jingmo: "Which two medicines are missing?"

Chu Jingmo told the guard, and the guard responded and left in a hurry.But before he stepped out of the range of Longteng Hall, he saw a palace official running back in a hurry.It wasn't the little servant who went to get the medicine before, but a eunuch in charge of Chonghua Palace: "Your Highness, it's not good, something happened in the palace! There is chaos in Jinglin Palace, and the whole palace knows that there is a war at the gate of the palace." !"

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then realized where Jinglin Palace was.It was the old emperor's harem, the palace was not too far away from Longteng Hall, and Concubine Qi of Jinglin Palace once gave birth to a prince, but unfortunately the prince died before he could enter the jade dish.But even so, the old emperor treated her with great honor, otherwise he would not have given her a residence in Jinglin Palace, which is very close to Longteng Palace.

The sudden chaos in Jinglin Palace was unexpected by Chu Yi, or she had never paid attention to the old emperor's harem, and she couldn't remember what Concubine Qi had to do with this rebellion.She hesitated for a moment, and asked the eunuch in charge: "I remember that there are noble concubines in the palace, right?"

The old emperor's original wife, the queen, was the prince's mother, but she died of dystocia when giving birth to the prince, and for some reason, the old emperor never conferred the title of queen again.Chu Yi had never dealt with the old emperor's harem. Even after the old emperor passed away, she just stamped the imperial decree on the canonization of concubines. Dealing with the affairs of the harem at that time.

Hearing Chu Yi's question, not only the eunuch in charge, but also the surrounding palace guards couldn't help but look back at Chu Yi with strange expressions.The eunuch in charge was the first to come back to his senses, he looked up at Chu Yi, and replied cautiously: "Return to Your Highness, Concubine Xue has been handling matters in the harem, and she always sits next to His Majesty during the palace banquet... "

Chu Yi didn't care about the affairs of the palace banquet. She raised her eyebrows and ordered: "Go and invite Concubine Xue. Since she is in charge of the harem, she will go to Jinglin Palace to sit in charge at this time. Don't let the harem really mess up." .”

The eunuch in charge responded and left in a hurry.Chu Yi thought for a while, and then ordered the guards around him: "Go and send a message, so that the Imperial Forest Army and Yulin Guards guarding the Longteng Hall are more alert, and don't let anyone take advantage of the loopholes. I want here to kill even a fly." If you can’t fly in, if someone intentionally makes trouble, shoot and kill!”

*******************************************************************************

When Cheng Zian fought all the way to the prince's side, he was almost exhausted.Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's good eyesight, he spotted Cheng Zian in time, so she didn't let her fight with his own people again.

"Why did you come here? What happened to Ayi?!" When the guards let Cheng Zian, who was covered in blood, come over, His Royal Highness didn't care about the other party's blood, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back. Cheng Zian asked with his arm.

Cheng Zian hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Your Highness is fine. She just doesn't worry about you, so I asked my minister to come over and see if I can help you." After saying this, Cheng Zian was finally free She stretched out her hand to wipe her face, but it was a pity that her hands were already stained with blood all the way. After this wipe, her face was even dirtier, and the smell of blood after she was free made her almost nauseous.

"If that's the case, then you can stay." The prince was a little relieved when he heard the words, he was already holding a sword in his hand, and occasionally encountered one or two rebels who climbed up from the tower, or were accidentally released by the guards , were beheaded by hand.The apricot-yellow robe was no longer spotless, and the sleeves and front were stained with some blood, but even if it was stained with blood, it was far worse than Cheng Zian looked at in distress.

Cheng Zian nodded, and took the initiative to step forward to guard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him. Seeing that no one had broken through the blockade of the guards yet, he heaved a long sigh of relief.She didn't know how many enemies she had slashed and killed along the way, but at this moment, even the hand holding the knife was shaking a little bit.

The battle has lasted for nearly an hour, and there are corpses everywhere on the city tower and under the palace gate.

"Soldiers, go! Wealth and glory, this is the battle!" Someone shouted loudly from the tower.

Hearing that the voice sounded like the one who had spoken to the prince before, Cheng Zian moved to the crenel of the city wall and looked down, only to see that the person who spoke was wearing a black armor and was pointing his sword at the tower.

"Ah Yi said that you are good at archery. Are you sure you can shoot him?" The prince followed Cheng Zian and came over at some point. Then I saw it, followed by a rain of arrows.

Cheng Zian was so frightened that he quickly dragged the prince to squat down and carefully protected him. She didn't take a look down until after the arrow rain passed.The man in the black armor was not young, probably the king of Zhao personally led the battle. He saw that the people on the tower were just defending the city blindly, and he stood in front of the battle to boost morale. Not close either.

After visual inspection, Cheng Zian estimated that the distance between the two parties was about 150 steps.She has practiced archery diligently in the past few years, but she can shoot up to 120 steps on weekdays, and the accuracy will be poor if she goes further.Just standing on a high place and shooting down, but there are some advantages to take advantage of, so she said to the prince: "He stands a little far away, but you can try."

Without saying a word, His Royal Highness asked someone to hand over a pair of bows and arrows.

After Cheng Zian took it, he pulled the bowstring a little, then drew out an arrow and lightly placed it on the bow.She walked to the edge of the tower again, hid behind the crenel and looked at it for a few more times, then suddenly drew her bow and set an arrow and shot it down.

The arrow went very quickly, from Cheng Zian's dodging, to drawing the bow and setting the arrow, to shooting the arrow, it was almost completed in the blink of an eye.Because such cold arrows can only be effective when people are defenseless. Otherwise, Zhao Wang only needs to recruit a few shieldmen to surround him, so no matter how good Cheng Zian's arrow skills are, it is impossible to hit him again. he.

On the top of the city tower is a scuffle, noisy.Cheng Zian shot the arrow, and the prince didn't know if she hit it, because he had some expectations in his heart, he couldn't help but walk towards the crenel.When he approached just now, there was a shower of arrows. At this moment, the guards didn't dare to let him take risks, so someone ran to the crenel to take a look, and then said happily: "I shot it, I hit the shoulder!"

After all, Zhao Wang is far away, and it is not easy to shoot.

When the prince heard this, he didn't care about anything else, and hurried to the crenel to look down.Sure enough, he saw King Zhao, who was still riding on horseback just now, had fallen to the ground, a group of people were surrounding him, and the soldiers and horses who were in formation outside the palace gate were also in chaos.

"King Zhao is dead! You are still not surrendering!" A guard reacted quickly and immediately shouted.

At first it was just one voice, but gradually, the Imperial Forest Army and Habayashi Guards on the tower began to shout, making the rebels upstairs tremble with fear.Someone couldn't help but leaned over to the crenel and looked down, and saw that the soldiers and horses that were neatly lined up below really started to mess up, and they were even more panicked for a while.

In just a short time, the situation on the city tower had already shown a one-sided trend. His Royal Highness looked up at the sky again, and said, "It's time, open the palace gate, and go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
