There were shouts of swords and guns fighting outside, and no one stopped for a while, only Zhou Yan, who wanted to wait for an opportunity to rush in to rescue Emperor Yongzhao, stopped at the door.

It was Chang Qing's screaming and drawn-out voice that soared to the sky and exploded in everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty — Your Majesty —"

The shrill sound, like the death of an emperor, resounded through the entire palace and spread outward.

The people in the fight froze, Xia Houpei seized the gap, and fired a gun into the air: "Stop it all! If you want the Holy Spirit to die, continue!"

The family soldiers quickly replaced him and pointed a gun at Emperor Yongzhao's head.

Nan Ruo's movement of waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him froze, Emperor Yongzhao held down his arm with his backhand, signaling him not to act rashly, Nan Ruo squatted back as he said, met Chang Qing's gaze, closed his eyes and shook his head imperceptibly.

Empress Zheng walked in from behind the sergeant. She is about to turn 37 and looks like 25 six, especially today she took off her gorgeous bun and tied up a high ponytail with a red cloth. .

Looking directly at Xia Houpei coldly, his eyes were like lightning: "The rebellious officials and thieves, you can catch them without letting go!"

Xia Houpei laughed, as if he had heard something ridiculous, and while slowly reloading the gun in his hand, he said: "I am a traitor and a traitor, but I was ordered by the Holy Spirit to be in the empress, and the empress said that I am a traitor, isn't the empress The thief leader?"

His tone was aggrieved: "I did all this for my mother. This kind of loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. My mother misunderstood me so much. It really chills me. Or..." He pointed his gun at Queen Zheng, "Does my mother want to marry you?" Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, kicking people away after using it?"

Empress Zheng was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "You don't want to spout blood here, today it is clear that your father and son led troops to force the palace, vainly plotting to usurp the throne, and also want to frame the palace. The forbidden army and courtiers will arrive soon, and let everyone see Look, who is chilling."

Xia Houpei clapped the back of his hand with one hand and applauded: "Okay, majesty is really good at calculating. She persuaded my father and king to plot rebellion, and she acted as an oriole. No matter whether your majesty is alive or not, it will not be a loss to get rid of the prince. At that time, the throne will only fall. On King Rong."

He glanced at Emperor Yongzhao jokingly: "Anyway, the crown prince is gone, and the future successor will have to be selected from the clan if it is not King Rong. Anyway, King Rong has been raised by the emperor's uncle for so many years. It is better to be born than to be born."

Emperor Yongzhao clutched his wound, his face was pale, his eyes were half down and he didn't make a sound.

Xia Houpei turned his head bored.

Empress Zheng's face was full of anger, and she suppressed it: "Xia Houpei, I thought I treated you well in the past. You lived in the palace at the age of six, and I have never been short of you in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. What the king has, you all have, even if you don’t appreciate it, you shouldn’t slander me like this.”

"Look at what your mother said." Xia Houpei chuckled, "It seems that I am so ruthless and ungrateful. As the mother of a country, my mother's duty is to take care of the children of the clan who live in the palace. Why not say something lightly, how to do it Others need to be grateful for their duties, if so, then the courtiers all over the world have done what their duties are, and it can be said that the people must be grateful, and it is ruthless not to be grateful."

Nan Ruoxin said that if Empress Zheng wore it late, the word "Gang Jing" would definitely come to mind at this time.

Xia Houpei clicked his tongue, and said with emotion: "If it were the former queen, she would definitely not repay her kindness like this."

He quarreled for a long time with Empress Zheng indifferently, but when the word "Xian Empress" came out, his brows and eyes instantly sank.

Xia Houpei condescended and said leisurely: "That's right, the first empress was the Yuan empress who was married by your majesty with three matchmakers and six matchmakers. To put it bluntly, the empress is the successor who was supported by a concubine. Naturally, it is different."

Empress Zheng's face was ugly, and she suppressed her anger: "Xia Houpei, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Good question!" Xia Houpei put down his gun, "Didn't your majesty say that I am a traitor, so I will show you to your majesty."

He put the pen and paper in front of Emperor Yongzhao again: "Please also ask the uncle to finish writing the imperial edict."

Seeing that Emperor Yongzhao didn't pick up the pen, he directly stuffed it into his hand: "Uncle Huang also saw it now, what I said just now is not empty words, look at the Empress who is here to ask for merits from you, Uncle Huang, hurry up and take the seat Let it go to the empress, maybe the empress can save your life for the sake of husband and wife, alas, I will be miserable, and when the imperial army arrives, I can only arrest you without a fight. I only hope that the empress will see me working so hard to obtain the edict for you , and leave me alive, how about it?"

Empress Zheng and Emperor Yongzhao were both very angry.

Especially Empress Zheng, she must never allow Emperor Yongzhao to write this edict. She wants to sit on the throne of God, but not in this way. This edict does not help her, but harms her.

"Xia Houpei!" she said angrily, "You don't need to play tricks with the imperial decree if you want to humiliate me and Your Majesty!"

Xia Houpei glanced at her: "Your Majesty, how dare you say that you have no intention of claiming the title of emperor? How dare you swear?"

Empress Zheng didn't hesitate, her face was full of absurdity: "Nonsense! If I really did what you said, how could I come to save His Majesty?"

Xia Houpei lightly said, "It's not clear whether to rescue or silence."

"Nonsense!" Empress Zheng scolded, "Quickly release Your Majesty!"

Xia Houpei raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, are you sure? Are you sure you want me to let Your Majesty go?" Without waiting for Empress Zheng to answer, she sneered, "If Your Majesty really thinks so, why did you join hands with my father and king? Don't you deny your Majesty. I am careful enough to communicate with each other, but there is no physical evidence or personal evidence, so I will ask someone to arrest Jianchanghou."

Emperor Yongzhao raised his bleeding face to look at Empress Zheng.

Xia Houpei tut tut: "As the saying goes, those who make big things don't care about trivial matters, and the empress is also cruel. For the sake of power, she even plots against her own daughter. It is also true that the Marquis of Jianchang has the hatred of taking his wife and daughter, and he is afraid of raising his hands in favor of empress taking the throne , if I were the Marquis of Jianchang, I would laugh out loud in my dreams if I knew that your husband and wife had turned against each other."

"Nonsense!" Empress Zheng was furious, "My palace and the Marquis of Jianchang have never met each other. The marriage between the princess and the son-in-law was agreed by His Majesty, not my palace!"

She really didn't know about Changle's relationship with Sun Heli at first, she just chose to keep silent after knowing the truth.

She raised her eyelids and glanced at Emperor Yongzhao, besides, she was not the only one who did this.

"Why did the emperor agree?" Xia Houpei asked himself and answered, "Yes, it is very cost-effective to fill up the debt in my heart with a daughter who I don't know if I am biological."

Emperor Yongzhao remained silent, as if in trance.

Xia Houpei: "If one Marquis of Jianchang is not enough, there is also the chief envoy of Yuezhou. The empress' feats at sea are really admirable..."

Empress Zheng's face changed slightly.

"The emperor doesn't know yet." Xia Houpei said to Emperor Yongzhao, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "Our mother raised a lot of sea soldiers scattered at sea, oh, you can be called a pirate. As far as I know, there are 40 soldiers." , just more and less."

Emperor Yongzhao's face sank like water, but he remained silent.

A look of cruelty flashed across Empress Zheng's eyes, she didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, and waved her hand: "Follow me and come forward to rescue Your Majesty!"

"Who dares!" Xia Houpei turned his gun and pointed it at Emperor Yongzhao.

Empress Zheng said coldly: "If you are not afraid of your wife and children being punished, just shoot! Shoot!"

Xia Houpei held his gun and did not move.

Nan Ruo frowned and glanced outside the hall.

"Why not?" Empress Zheng raised her chin and smiled contemptuously, "Conspiracy to usurp the throne and hold His Majesty hostage, I think there is no shortage of charges of regicide."

She shouted coldly: "Shoot!"

There was a bang.

The gun fired.

But it was not Xia Houpei, but from outside the palace.

Behind the gun is the prince with a cold expression.

Empress Zheng's expression changed drastically.

The crown prince came striding forward, followed by all the officials and the forbidden army, with an astonishing momentum.

Xia Houpei and Nan Ruo looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial guards drove straight in and surrounded the two parties present, not letting go of the roof or the ground, aiming their guns, and waiting for the order.

The crown prince went straight to Emperor Yongzhao: "I am late to save you, please forgive me."

Xia Houpei threw away the gun in his hand, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Your Highness."
