i am afraid

From the moment the news came from Chengtian Palace, the entire Imperial Guard army was mobilized to seal off the Six Palaces. The first one to be surrounded was the East Palace. Jiang Yan knew that there must be something wrong. The emperor died. Isn't it the matter of gathering the children of the royal family, all the civil and military officials knelt outside the hall to read out the edict, and after the new king succeeds to the throne, they will discuss funeral matters together?Martial law in the Sixth Palace obviously forbids the palace servants to move around and pass on news, so how could he be imprisoned here?

The commander of the Forbidden Army had a very bad attitude towards the people in the East Palace. He ordered his subordinates to drive everyone out of the hall and gather together, leaving behind a group of armored guards from the Forbidden Army. Ask him to change clothes, and ask his cronies to bring him a bowl of hot soup.

Jiang Yan didn't want to drink the soup, he just wanted to go out to see what happened. The emperor's grandfather passed away, but the sixth uncle hadn't come back yet, so many accidents would happen.

The commander of the imperial army was standing outside the gate of the palace with the soup in his hand, the knife in his hand was placed in the corner of the wall, the redness on his face hadn't faded, and he said: "Young master, this has nothing to do with you, you just need to stay here obediently. Minister, I will protect you."

The confidant of the Commander of the Imperial Army was stunned: "Here, Boss, just now the prince told you to go to Chengtian Hall immediately after handling the matter in the East Palace."

The commander of the forbidden army paused, and changed his words: "My lord, forgive me, I will leave a team of people to protect my lord."

Jiang Yan didn't make a sound, he was thinking, which prince can order the commander of the imperial army at this time, the imperial guards are the guards of the palace, and they only listen to the emperor's orders. At this juncture, do you think he wants to rebel?

Although the king of Qin has soldiers, most of them are concentrated in the southeast area. The troops around the capital have always been controlled by the emperor's father. Who can mobilize the forbidden army?

Jiang Yan's mind was in a mess, and he was thinking for a while, if it was his father, he would not be locked in his palace like him and could not get out at this time, but would go out generously, suppress the chaos, balance all parties, for a while I was thinking, the sixth uncle might not succeed this time, but when he came back and saw that the second or third uncle was sitting on the dragon chair, would he turn back in a fit of anger?He didn't know what he should do at all, except for his uncle, he didn't even have a single acquaintance inside and outside the palace, but the news probably wouldn't get out at this moment.

The commander of the forbidden army really left behind a team of elite soldiers. Except for the forbidden army guarding everyone in the East Palace, this hundred-man team stood upright outside Jiang Yan's hall, as if they were really dedicated to protecting him.

Jiang Yan clenched the Yuanyu in his hand, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed. He lowered his head, full of bewilderment.

Resigning to fate, Jiang Yan felt the helplessness of these words for the first time.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, so loud that Jiang Yan couldn't believe that it was the sound made by the imperial guards with less than 5000 people. He tried to go out several times to have a look, but was blocked by the imperial guards with their heads down go back.

The news came too suddenly, and it was midnight. Many people in the East Palace were chased like ducks to the corridor outside the palace before they had time to get dressed, especially Zhou Ning. Yan's inner hall was lifted out, whether it was intentional or unintentional, he was thrown into the wind, next to the Imperial Army with a knife, he had no choice but to shiver in the cold wind of winter night.

Jiang Yan frowned: "Even if you are afraid of leaking the news, you can let them go back and put on some clothes, right?"

The squad of the Centuries was lowering their heads, not daring to look at Jiang Yan's face. He whispered, "It's definitely not possible to go back, but since the young master said, can I ask my men to go down and help them get their clothes?"

Although Jiang Yan was angry, but with such a soft-spoken response, no matter how big the anger was, it was difficult to express it, so he could only nod firmly.The team seemed to have obtained some imperial decree, so they immediately ordered a few people to ask questions one by one, and fetch clothes for the palace people in the East Palace. Zhou Ning finally got a thick cloak, and his bruised face gradually improved.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing in the noise outside, Jiang Yan's face changed slightly, and his eyes flew out of the palace wall involuntarily, and the team was stammering: "Young master, don't worry, you are fine, the concubine Liang said... ..."

Jiang Yan suddenly looked at him, his black and white eyes seemed to gather some spiritual light, he seemed to be looking at him intently, there was only room for him in his eyes, and it seemed that it was just a casual glance from the gods and Buddhas. A kind of beauty that is not like ordinary people, like the bright moon in the sky, if it is completely out of reach, it will be fine, but it seems to be standing not far from you, as if it belongs to you, but you can't even touch it.

The team's originally somewhat sober mind became blurred in an instant, and he murmured: "As long as the seventh prince is enthroned, it will be fine. Don't move at the East Palace, that person inside is still useful..."

The imperial guards were all quietly staring at Jiang Yan at first, and they were all stunned when they heard the words. Looking at the team, they still looked stern and stern. They were completely idiots who were so fascinated by the vixen that they didn't even know their surname. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Yan again.

Jiang Yan was startled. If he hadn't seen the changes in everyone's expressions, he would almost have thought that he had heard other people's voices again. Isn't the Concubine Liang the Seventh Prince's biological mother Zhou Wanyi?Zhou Wanyi and the Seventh Prince are planning to rebel?Is that person in the East Palace referring to him?What are they going to use him for?

Seeing Jiang Yan's shocked expression, the team was stunned for a moment before waking up, but it's been like this for a while, and it's useless to hide it anymore. He glared at the forbidden soldiers who were looking at him, and then turned to Jiang Yan said: "Since the young master already knows, let's stay here obediently and don't move. We don't intend to hurt the young master."

Zhou Ning shouted: "You guys are plotting against us! Let our young master go soon, the Marquis of Zhen Guo will definitely..."

The team glanced at him, kicked Zhou Ning in the back, and trampled him down.

Zhou Ning was still struggling, cursing, the team was about to fight again, but accidentally saw Jiang Yan clenched his fists, biting his lip, raised his hand and retracted it, without a pause, facing He clasped his fists together: "Master, let's go back and rest, reveal more deeply, and be careful."

Jiang Yan took a deep look at him, then turned and entered the inner hall.

Wangdu is the ancient capital of three dynasties. The Daning Temple outside the capital city has been a royal temple since ancient times. In the previous dynasty, even the royal family’s children became monks here. The king’s capital was captured by the rebel army. After defecting to the military camp stationed near Beiling, King Qin fled into Daning Temple with only a small number of soldiers and horses around him.

"This force is too strange." King Qin frowned. "A total of 20 people have been hoarding in the capital for so long, but no one has discovered it. This cannot be done by Zhou Wanyi, a woman from the palace."

Gu Xi, who was sitting under him, said, "But so far, they are only trying to seize the capital, and there is no local influence at all. This is in line with the insight of a deep palace woman."

King Qin couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and slapped the table: "Now that the father died for no apparent reason, as a son, he must avenge him. Zhao Mingyi, you go to the southeast and take my soldiers..."

"My lord, don't act rashly." Gu Xi raised his hand, his fox-like eyes narrowed, "Who in this world can fight against the Sixth Highness? In this situation, he is not in a hurry, we are in a hurry. He is in a hurry. , we don’t need to rush.”

This time, King Qin understood. If the old man was still there in normal times, he could make up for the lack of military strength from other places. But now that the old man is gone, after tearing his face apart, the only thing he can rely on is military strength.In terms of military strength, even if Lao San said that he had all the Beiling Army in his hands, the two of them together would still not be enough for Lao Liu to cook in one pot.

The rebellion is not a big deal, but after the rebellion is pacified, who will sit on the throne will be a big deal. Judging by the momentum, he still has no hope. Difficult.

Seeing King Qin's pensive expression, Gu Xi didn't interrupt him. He turned his eyes to the main hall of the temple and frowned slightly.

"Anyone, have you seen the one in the Eastern Palace?"

King Qin raised his head and stood up suddenly, "Didn't I send out a group of soldiers to take Chengyuan off? Where is the man? Zhao Mingyi!"

A young general with bushy eyebrows and big eyes came out with a bitter face, half kneeling on the ground: "My lord, it's not that I didn't send people there, but the East Palace is surrounded by groups. If our people don't disturb the rebels and take them away Come out, it's impossible!"

The King of Qin kicked him to the ground, and said angrily, "What are those rebels? If you are alarmed, you will be alarmed. You actually left Cheng Yuan inside? Where is Chang Xuan?"

He grabbed Zhao Mingyi's collar: "Did you trap Changxuan in it too? Ah!"

Zhao Mingyi shrank his neck like a quail and did not speak. King Qin became even more angry when he saw this. If this trash was not his cousin, he would have killed him long ago.

The King of Qin threw away Zhao Mingyi, "Send an order, bring a line of elite soldiers, follow me..."

"My lord, no." Gu Qi said out loud.

The king of Qin looked back at him, his power was enough to stop the child crying at night, Gu Qi just said gently: "Yesterday we got the news in advance, when we escaped, the rebel army hadn't been dispatched, but at that time, they surrounded the East Palace , is enough to show that they are going for the one in the East Palace, and with our current strength, whoever goes there will be sent to death."

King Qin slowly calmed down: "So, Cheng Yuan is safe now?"

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "My lord, I can't wait for His Royal Highness, let's dispatch troops."
