Plop, plop, like dumplings, many people jumped off the pond to save the prince, Nan Ruo turned his head and told himself not to look, and came to Emperor Yongzhao with a few strides: "Your Majesty, follow me and leave here."

Emperor Yongzhao pointed to the pool: "Go save the prince, hurry up and save the prince..."

King Rong had already rushed to the edge of the pool, and when he wanted to jump down, two eunuchs hugged his waist and pressed his shoulders to stop him.

"Your Majesty, you can only live if you live the crown prince!" Nan Ruo half-kneeled on the ground, winked at Gao Jinzhong and Chang Qing, and the two quickly helped Emperor Yongzhao up.

Rong Xiang rushed over with several civil and military officials, Rong Xiang folded a piece of wooden stick and held it in his hand, facing south, he said sharply, "Take Your Majesty away!"

From the appearance of the bandits to the time when the prince fell into the water, it took less than 2 minutes for Emperor Yongzhao to sit at the highest point of the pavilion. On the lower pond, there was a winding stone bridge road. Only three people could walk side by side. It would take a while for the bandits to come up in large numbers.

Nan Ruo glanced at Nangong Yunlin, who gestured at him to ignore him, and the servants who seemed to have no protection around Xia Houchun and his wife, half supported Emperor Yongzhao, and went down from the back of the pavilion. There was no way out of the pavilion, full of Flowers, plants and shrubs, he took the lead and used wooden sticks to open a path in front. Gao Jinzhong and Chang Qing almost supported Emperor Yongzhao on one side, followed by several young eunuchs and officials sent by Rongxiang.

The group came down the slope, blocked by the surrounding pool water, and could only swim across.

Chang Qing immediately said: "The slave girl grew up by the water when she was young, and she can swim as soon as she can walk, so she can bring His Majesty with her."

Others who could swim also spoke one after another.

Emperor Yongzhao panted and raised his hand to stop, calmed down a little and said, "I can swim, I will do it myself."

As he spoke, he took off his outer robe and jumped into the water.

Nan Ruo glanced at Chang Qing, followed immediately, and stood beside Emperor Yong Zhao.

Chang Qing squatted down to pick up Emperor Yongzhao's outer robe: "Your Majesty will hold this servant girl, so I'm sure you won't get wet."

Gao Jinzhong took it one step ahead of him: "I'll do it."

Chang Qing didn't fight for it, and bowed to give it to him, and said: "Your maidservant is good at swimming and has strength, this servant girl will follow behind your father-in-law."

Gao Jinzhong smirked: "Please trouble Eunuch Chang."

Chang Qing bent even deeper.

While the two were talking, several officials had already entered the water, and the young eunuchs were anxious to hear the shouts of killing from above.

The back slope is not as brightly lit as the front, especially after entering the water, the visibility drops rapidly, and you can only see the surrounding two or three meters clearly.

Fortunately, the pool is not wide, and it didn't take long to touch the shore. Nanruo went up first, and then pulled Emperor Yongzhao, and without waiting for the next person to go ashore, he carried Emperor Yongzhao on his back and ran to the side wall of the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, go up and have a look." Nan Ruo put down Emperor Yongzhao, took a few steps back, and jumped up on the wall. Seeing that there was no one on the other side, he rode onto the wall and rushed to the official attendant who came up, "Help Your Majesty , I will pull His Majesty up."

Without further ado, Chang Qing knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, quickly step on your servant."

The officials and young eunuchs immediately stretched out their hands to build a ladder for Emperor Yongzhao.

Emperor Yongzhao stepped on the wall with a gloomy expression. After going up, he jumped off first without waiting for Nan Ruo to go down to pick him up, but he forgot that he was no longer the Wushuang of riding and shooting when he was young.

A scream sounded.

The shadow reflected by the moonlight passed over Nan Ruo's face, he pulled the official up with more strength, told him to sit down, jumped to Emperor Yongzhao, and called out anxiously: "Your Majesty—"

"My legs..." Emperor Yongzhao held back his voice.

Nan Ruo looked through the dim lights in the lane, there was a piece of bamboo where Emperor Yongzhao jumped off, and the sharp corners were cut out. When he jumped down, his calf happened to bump into it, and the two bamboo tips went straight into it. into his calf.

"Jump from that side, there are bamboos here!" Nan Ruo quickly warned, helping Emperor Yongzhao to lift his leg, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this..."

Emperor Yongzhao's expression was gloomy and cold, he held Nan Ruo's shoulder and pulled out his calf forcefully: "Let's go!"

Feeling the trembling hands on his shoulders, Nan Ruo admired him for a moment, and tore off the corner of his clothes to tie up the wound for him.

Someone jumped down, Emperor Yongzhao said in a forbearing voice, "Gao Jinzhong."

No one responded, Chang Qing who had just jumped down was taken aback for a moment, then turned to ask the little eunuch above: "Where is Eunuch Gao?"

The little eunuch was at a loss: "The maidservant was just running along and didn't pay attention..." Turning his head and seeing the empty space below, he panicked.

Chang Qing tremblingly knelt down at the feet of Emperor Yongzhao: "Your Majesty, this, this... the servants only wanted to catch up with His Majesty when they got ashore, but they really didn't pay attention..." Thinking of something, he hurriedly said, "Grandpa Gao was holding his hand when he went into the water. His majesty's robe, could it be—"

He fell silent suddenly, not daring to speak any more.

Emperor Yongzhao was full of anger, even in this embarrassment, his aura was overwhelming, the pain already made him irritable, if he hadn't considered the current situation, he might have scolded him a long time ago.

Nan Ruo ignored his painful shoulder from being caught, and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for the bandits to come after you."

As if to confirm his words, several gunshots rang out, not far from them.

Emperor Yongzhao gritted his teeth: "Let's go!"

Nan Ruo picked him up, took a shortcut and rushed to the Zichen Palace, bumping into the rushing palace servants all the way, seeing the emperor as if he had found a backbone, they all followed up.

"Where's the forbidden army?" Nan Ruo asked.

A court lady quickly replied: "I just heard gunshots from the imperial garden, and the commander led the imperial army to the imperial garden."

Another little eunuch hurriedly said: "Hu Ben's right guard is still there, and the servants were sent by Commander Zhou to pass the news to the palace people."

Nan Ruo lifted his spirits, and immediately said: "Go and inform him."

The palace has not yet been invaded by the bandits, and it is quiet. The palace people who only heard the gunshots were scared and hid everywhere. Now that they saw the emperor, they immediately felt relieved. The team is getting bigger and bigger. The servants carried it on a soft couch.

When they arrived at the Zichen Palace, Zhou Yan, the commander of the right guard of the tiger, also rushed over with his bodyguards. Unfortunately, due to the banquet held in the imperial garden today, most of the imperial guards were transferred to the imperial garden, and some of them were led away by gunshots just now. Less than 500 people came.

Just at this moment, a series of gunshots came from the front hall, and the faces of the palace people turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty." Nan Ruo looked eagerly at Emperor Yongzhao, asking for an opinion whether to go or stay.

Emperor Yongzhao entered the Zichen Palace, but he settled down, and his wounds were taken care of by the palace servants who knew medicine. He leaned on the throne with a calm face: "Wait, I will wait for him to come before me."

Nan Ruo quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, keep the green hills, as long as you go out, I will take your majesty to the capital camp outside the city even if you die."

The Beijing camp is the headquarters of the imperial army, and the imperial army is only loyal to the emperor. The twelve guards are directly under the imperial army, and there are 20 people. On weekdays, only 1 people are transferred to guard the palace. Now it is imminent. escape.

Emperor Yongzhao looked at the door: "Here we come."

I saw a group of well-trained soldiers dressed the same as those in the imperial garden just now, walking in, with shield soldiers leading the way, followed by spearmen, and then infantry with knives.

Zhou Yan immediately led five hundred forbidden troops to block the entrance of the hall, and Nan Ruo took the knife drawn from the forbidden army and stood in front of Emperor Yongzhao.

The thieves approached the front of the hall, and then parted a road in the middle, and a fat figure came out.

Everyone was surprised.

King Heng? !

"Long time no see, old nine." King Heng smiled at Emperor Yongzhao.

The muscles on Emperor Yongzhao's face twitched in anger.

King Heng stroked his beard a little complacently: "Why, you didn't say hello when you saw Brother Huang?" Looking around, he raised his chin slightly and said, "That's right, Brother Huang should be angry at the current situation, but who told you I can’t blame myself for not living up to expectations and not being able to keep the family business.”

Nan Ruo lowered his eyebrows, the prince who had gone to the fief was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, and Prince Heng didn't want Emperor Yongzhao's heart, so he seldom came to the capital. The only time he saw him up close was at the funeral of the late queen mother. Saying that King Heng is out of tune, now he understands why he is out of tune.

Emperor Yongzhao shouted angrily: "You are conspiracy! It is rebellion!"

"Bah!" King Heng spat on the ground carelessly, obviously past the age of knowing the destiny, but still like a naughty boy, he said loudly, "What happened when you killed the first emperor and became the throne yourself?" Don't you say it's treason?"

All the people present wished they could be buried in the soil, and the palace people were so frightened that they knelt down in unison.

Nan Ruo took a step forward: "The late emperor clearly died of a serious illness. There is a pulse record in the imperial hospital. Don't you want to find an excuse for your rebellion!"

"Who are you?" King Heng glanced at him sideways, "Go aside, this king is talking to the emperor, so there is no place for you to interrupt."

Nan Ruo's expression almost didn't tense.

Emperor Yongzhao waved his hand at him, telling him to get out of the way, and King Chao Heng said, "You and I know exactly why the late emperor died, and I have a clear conscience."

King Heng sneered: "You have a clear conscience? You? It's a big joke coming out of your mouth!"

He suddenly put away his smiling face, and all his contempt and laziness disappeared without a trace. He glared and raised his eyebrows: "I just ask you, why did the third brother of the prince die?! How dare you swear to God that it has nothing to do with you?!" The loud voice rang Through the entire palace, "Do you dare?!"

Emperor Yongzhao supported Chang Qing to stand up: "I dare."

"How dare you!" King Heng's eyes turned red, and he almost roared, "How did the third brother treat you back then?! I miss you hot in summer, afraid of cold in winter, and I will give you whatever you want to eat and use. Accidentally dropped the imperial concubine's vase, he took it up for you, and was scolded by the emperor for several days, you fell off the horse, and the third brother was the first to rush up to pick you up, you can't find him in the whole palace Brother!"

"In the end, what did you get in return, white-eyed wolf! Yes, you didn't find that Taoist priest, but why did the third brother die unexpectedly? Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?!"

King Heng pointed at Emperor Yongzhao angrily, full of hatred: "Xiahouyan, you are not alone!"

Emperor Yongzhao sneered: "Since you want to seek rebellion, there is nothing wrong with you if you want to commit crimes."

King Heng laughed back angrily: "Look, look, you've always been like this, you thought you could coax everyone around with your mouth, you're wrong, I've seen you as a hypocrite since I was a child. "

He smiled contemptuously: "Now you have come to retribution, you think I entered the palace so smoothly, did you guess it? It's really interesting, the whole world knows about it—"

Before he finished speaking, an arrow was shot out from nowhere, and it hit King Heng's temple, and he fell down straight with his eyes open.

A person appeared from the roof on the right side, it was Empress Zheng, she stood up with a bow and arrow in her hand: "The concubine is late to save you, Your Majesty forgive me." Then he shouted at the bandit army, "King Heng is dead, please hurry up!" Capture without a fight, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
