rebirth will be hard to find

This edict came so suddenly, Chu Yi felt a bad premonition almost instantly.

Get up and go out, put on the incense case and receive the decree in a regular manner, but the content of the decree shocked everyone present on the spot - it was an imperial decree for the canonization of the crown prince, which came so abruptly that it surprised everyone expected.

Chu Yi was dumbfounded on the spot, and it was Li Lin who pulled her sleeve from behind to wake her up.

Without joy or cowardice, Chu Yi accepted the imperial decree seemingly calmly despite everyone's complicated gazes.The servant who came to pass the decree seemed to want to come up to make friends, but Chu Yi didn't have time to talk to him, so he turned his head and said to Li Lin: "Prepare the horse, go back to Beijing!"

Li Lin was taken aback for a moment, and just as he nodded, he heard Chu Yi say again: "You go back with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin also realized that something was wrong.Although he said that the Huai River embankment in Qizhou has basically been formed, his supervision will be necessary in the future, but His Highness asked him to return to Beijing together at this moment... This decree came too abruptly, His Highness was in a hurry to return It can also be said that Jing is for the canonization ceremony, if there is no accident, there is no need to bring him.

Li Lin, who was born in an aristocratic family, realized something was wrong in an instant. After the attendant brought the horse, he jumped on the horse's back and ran away with Chu Yi without saying a word. behind.

This journey was day and night, and Chu Yi took Li Lin and twenty guards to run from Qizhou to the border of the capital in only three days.

I have never driven like this before, my thighs are worn out, and my bones are about to be knocked apart.I don't know how many times the horses have changed in the post stations along the way, but the people can't rest. Li Lin's sunburned face was pale, and he had no doubt that he would be seriously ill after returning to the capital.

It's a pity that there was really no time for him to get sick along the way, so he could only grit his teeth with Chu Yi and survive.When the group of people finally stepped into the boundary of the capital, he almost cried—the boundary of Qizhou was against him, and every time he went there, he was in such a mess when he came back that he almost lost half his life.In his lifetime, he never wanted to go there again!

However, it turns out that there are more terrible things waiting behind than rushing to the road to die.

Chu Yi left in a hurry this time, and there were not many guards around her, but around twenty guards still surrounded her and Li Lin together.Just when a group of people stepped into the boundary of the capital, the horse galloping ahead suddenly fell down, throwing the people on the horses out heavily.

"There is a tripping rope!" Someone saw the opportunity and shouted immediately.These twenty or so bodyguards are all good players, whether they are martial arts or riding and shooting, they are all the best in the Imperial Forest Army. The next moment the incident happened, they even reacted and pulled the reins tightly, strangling the body below them. The horse stood up, but after all, it did not follow in the footsteps of the two or three riders in front.

Chu Yi and Li Lin were a little further back, giving them more time to react, and they both reined in immediately.But at this moment, a few cold arrows suddenly shot out from the side of the road, meeting the guards at the front.

There was a cry of misery, and the cold arrow came so fast that there was no time for the guards who had just strangled the horse to react. The cold arrow came almost at the same time, so that once the blow was successful, three or four more people were hit by the arrows and rolled off the horse in an instant. back.

"Rush over!" Chu Yi shouted decisively without looking at the guards who fell from their horses.

In the rebirth, Chu Yi faced countless assassinations. Thanks to the fact that she was assassinated with Cheng Zian last time, she knew that she would not love to fight if the other party had a bow and arrow.The other party first set up a tripping rope, in fact, they also wanted to keep them temporarily, so that they could reap their lives conveniently.

Chu Yi's words fell to the ground, and the guards rushed forward without hesitation to protect her.When the rider is prepared, the bridle rope is almost useless. Not to mention these guards who are proficient in riding and shooting, even Chu Yi and Li Lin can easily jump over the horse. Just slowed down a little bit.And with the protection of those guards who have already reacted, the cold arrows shot will never fall on them again.

A group of people rode their horses and ran away without any hesitation.Generally speaking, the range of a bow and arrow is only 150 steps at most, which is almost instantaneous for a galloping horse.But within two steps, another horse fell to the ground. The guard on the horse was already on guard and rolled down in time, but then there was a scream.

When everyone took a closer look, they saw that the guard's body was pierced with steel nails, bleeding profusely.And before the horse fell down, it was precisely because it stepped on those sharp steel nails on the ground, and the long steel nails pierced into the horse's hoof in an instant, and the horse was just like that.

The road ahead was already full of steel nails, and it was impossible for a horse to cross them, and there was not so much time for them to clear these obstacles.Chu Yi gritted her teeth, pulled the reins, and ran into the woods beside the road—there might be an ambush there, but other than that, she had no choice but to be left as an archery target. .

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

The weather in the capital seems to be changing. Although the people in the city are still living their lives in peace and stability, except for the occasional sight of soldiers and horses of the Longsu Camp on the street, it seems that there is no difference from usual.But those grown-ups who are usually aloof, are now restless.

A few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly decreed that his only younger sister be conferred the crown prince.Although some people had guessed this as early as when Chu Yi entered the court to participate in politics, but when the imperial decree came down, it still shocked everyone.

His Majesty is only in his early twenties, and he is in his prime. Even though he had never had any heirs due to poor health in the early years, his health has improved in the past two years, and no one paid much attention to the issue of heirs.Brothers end up with brothers and such things are rare after all. Unless it is certain that there will be no heirs, no emperor would be willing to pass the throne to brothers, let alone sisters.

This imperial decree naturally caused an uproar in the court.However, because there was an example of a female emperor in the state of Chu, the officials didn't talk about Chu Yi's female status for a while, but just begged Chu Zhao to take it back.

The ministers who begged for orders knelt in a dark mass outside the imperial study, and His Majesty the Emperor ignored them.However, after a group of ministers knelt outside the imperial study room and begged for a day, they finally failed to see His Majesty the Emperor's face. Instead, they got the news that His Majesty suddenly fell into a coma.

a bolt from the blue!

There is a precedent for the assassination of the late emperor. It has only been a few months, and when they heard the news suddenly, almost everyone panicked.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Zhang and Taifu Zou are still loyal ministers in the DPRK. Even if the situation is temporarily stabilized, they will send someone to Qizhou to ask Chu Yi to come back to preside over the overall situation—whether the ministers agree or not. After all, she was the crown prince appointed by Chu Zhao before he fell into a coma. The so-called right and proper name, but there is no more suitable candidate than her to stabilize the situation at this moment.

The people who delivered the letter rushed to Qizhou quickly, and arrived only half an hour later than the team who sent the message and the journey was not slow.However, Chu Yi's reaction after receiving the imperial edict was quicker and sharper, and he just passed by the messenger after all.

It took only five or six days for Chu Yi to return to the capital from Qizhou in only three days, which was faster than everyone expected.

There have been a lot of changes this year. After all the previous incidents, Prime Minister Zhang and the others have become vigilant.The emperor was in a strange coma, and the crown prince couldn't tolerate any mistakes, so he also sent soldiers and horses out of Beijing to meet him.But everyone miscalculated Chu Yi's itinerary, and the soldiers and horses sent by the Longsu Battalion missed Chu Yi again. Only the bodies of the guards after the attack.

Chu Yi was attacked and disappeared in the boundary of the capital!

The soldiers and horses of the Longsu Camp followed, collecting the bodies of more than two dozen bodyguards along the way, and also picked up Chu Yi's belongings.But no one was found, and the assassins who assassinated were nowhere to be found, leaving no clues.

When Prime Minister Zhang and the others got the news, they felt that they were all bad.But considering the current situation, they have nothing to do except temporarily suppress the news and secretly send more people to find it.

The search lasted for several days, and the number of people they sent was already unknown, but they did not find Chu Yi, a living person, nor the body of Chu Yi after he was assassinated. The matter seemed to have reached a deadlock all of a sudden.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the news of Chu Yi's disappearance on the way back to Beijing somehow spread out after all.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the hearts of those who had been barely appeased were instantly confused, and the situation became more and more chaotic.Even with respected old ministers like Prime Minister Zhang trying their best to stabilize, things developed in an unpredictable direction.

His Majesty the Emperor was in a coma, and the imperial hospital couldn't find out the reason, and there was nothing he could do. Xu Ze, who had been taking care of Chu Zhao's body in the palace, had hidden somewhere at this time, and he couldn't find anyone.But a country cannot be without a king for a day. When Chu Yi, the designated prince, also disappeared, as time went by, people's minds changed.

The capital is in chaos, and without the knowledge of the ordinary people, those high in power have started a new round of scramble for power.

Under the auspices of Zhang Cheng and others, there have been no flaws in the government. The government and the public are relatively stable, but the royal family in the capital gradually began to take the lead, and the vassal kings everywhere are also ready to move.Especially those whose bloodlines are not too far away, such as the brothers of the late emperor, all began to plan to go to Beijing again.

On the tenth day when Chu Zhao was in a coma, someone in the court spoke uprightly: "A country cannot live without a king. Your Majesty is unconscious. The court needs someone to take charge of the overall situation."

Prime Minister Zhang was powerless to stop it, the clan that originally had no real power in the capital began to intervene in the court, and the kings who were originally in the fiefdoms also started rushing towards the capital after hearing the news.

Another turn of events seems to be just around the corner.
