Twilight GL

The queen will not order people to spread the word for no reason, something must have happened in the palace.

Mingsu was very anxious, and what she was most worried about was the empress and concubine Shu who stayed in the palace.

Just as Su Du was about to answer, there was a knock on the door, and an aide came to report urgently.

Now there is no need for Su Du to answer, the aides want to report the same thing.

The emperor put Concubine De under house arrest, and sent someone to arrest the third prince in the name of rebellion.Right now, the forbidden army is going to the third prince's mansion.

Mingsu slumped on the chair. She understood that she and the queen must have been procrastinating for several days. The emperor got impatient and decided to do it himself.

Although the third prince is a rough man, his filial piety towards Concubine De is well known.Even if it's just for the safety of Concubine De, the third prince will definitely not resist.

In the same way, if she wants to submit, the emperor only needs to take concubine Shu as his pledge.

Su Du was aware of the mother-daughter relationship between His Highness Xin Guo and Concubine Shu, and seeing His Highness's dismal look, he knew what she was thinking, and persuaded: "Your Highness, hurry up and do it."

Ming Su waved his hands, Su Du sighed deeply, and retreated, and his staff also retreated.

But within an hour, news came from outside that the third prince had surrendered and had been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple. The emperor issued an edict that Dali Temple and Zongzhengqing would jointly try the case of the third prince.

Dali Siqing has been attached to the fifth prince for many years, Zong Zhengqing is the younger brother of the late emperor, he only took up an official position for nothing, but never cared about the affairs of the court.It seems that the two people tried together, but in fact it was the Dali Temple Minister who presided over it alone.

Ming Su thought to himself, Brother Sanhuang is broken, it seems that Father is really anxious this time, after taking care of Brother Three, he also stabilized Brother Five, and it should be her next.

The fifth prince is getting more and more powerful, after all, the third prince is lost, and he will be the rest.

Several ministers under him were eager to please, busy collecting the third prince's criminal evidence and sending them to Dali Temple.

But except for these few ministers who were eager to flatter the fifth prince, the rest were quiet.

Especially after the incident with Zheng's family six years ago, the ministers kept silent and did not say a word.

Because since the third prince was taken into the palace, no news from the palace has come out, no matter how the ministers of the third prince's family quietly pass on the news to the palace, there is no reply.

This situation is exactly the same as before the Zheng family was destroyed.

Mingsu wanted to enter the palace several times to ask to see the emperor, but the palace gate that she was usually allowed to enter and exit was strictly guarded.

No matter how threatened and persecuted, the general guarding the gate has only one answer: "No entry into the palace without an edict."

Not only Mingsu, but also the fifth prince, and ministers as well.

For a few days, people in the court were panicked, but each was suppressed. The whole capital fell into a strange silence, waiting for the coming wind and rain.

However, in the Zichen Palace, it was as calm as ever, even a bit breezy with a gentle breeze.

The emperor didn't wear a dragon robe, he changed into a Taoist robe, his hair was tied up like a Taoist priest, and he was sitting cross-legged on the futon with a handle in his hand, with his eyes closed, and he was enlightening.

It's a pity that he was complacent and couldn't concentrate on the way, but he remembered something about the future and the past.

In the year when he was in power, Zheng Hong said something to him before returning to power. He said that he begged His Majesty to remember that if His Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, the world will be His Majesty's world; world.

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious, Zheng Hong was telling him to be diligent in government affairs and love the people.Otherwise, all the people in the world may raise their flags to rebel against him.

At first, he thought it was true and didn't dare to slack off, but gradually, he realized that it was not the case.

As long as he is still the emperor and firmly controls the government, it doesn't matter if he slacks off occasionally.

If someone harbors objections, they will be arrested and imprisoned, and all that is needed is to cut the weeds and root them out.

His world, his throne is secure.

It's the same this time.

The emperor didn't bother to care about whether Mingsu delayed on purpose or what, no matter how scheming she was, she would have no strength to struggle in front of him.He thought, opened his eyes, looked around, and frowned slightly.

The Zichen Palace was originally a place for discussing government affairs, and it was full of mundane atmosphere. It would be half the effort to meditate and practice here. It would be better to build a temple.

That temple must be cultivated to a high level, up to nine days, and you can pick up stars with your hands, so it is worthy of his emperor's style.

There is also Wuwei who is indeed capable, and he must be respected, but he wants to make alchemy for him, and there is no time to teach him to enlightenment.He should find a few more Taoists with cultivation bases to serve him and enlighten him together.

The emperor thought to himself, so he stood up, walked behind the imperial case, and wanted to write two edicts, one for building palaces and the other for recruiting Taoists.He picked up the pen, but before he could put it down, he threw it at the desk again, his face full of displeasure.

Not for the time being, he wants to overhaul the palace and recruit Taoists, and the ministers must say a few words that waste the people and waste money.

Just talking about it is enough, the disaster just happened last year, and the peace of the chaos cost a lot of money, and the treasury may not be able to transfer money quickly.

It's better to wait another two days, after two days, everything should be settled.

The emperor stroked his beard, picked up the whisk again, and thought, it was still a bit slow.

He has been used to saying the same thing all these years, but this time he was only delayed for a few days before he became angry.At this time, Zhao Liang came into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, it's noon."

The emperor's brows were filled with joy, all anger was gone, he waved his whisk, walked down the hall, and said: "The Taoist priest Wuwei has agreed with me to discuss the Tao at noon, why don't you come? I'll go and see him."

When the emperor arrived at the Wanfang Hall, the Empress was being sent out of the side door of the Wanfang Hall by a Taoist boy.

She went back to the Hall of Renming alone, Yun Sang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her back, welcomed her into the hall, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with you, just tell me to go there, why go out in person? It would be too risky A little bit."

Zheng Mi's thoughts were elsewhere, she sat down while leaning on the armrest, thought of something, and asked: "The news still can't be delivered?"

Yun Sang said sadly: "Yes. Even the servants who bought the dining room have all changed. The imperial army has entered the harem, and the concubines are afraid to go out."

When everyone is dormant, if there is any movement in the Hall of Renming, it will be very conspicuous.

The news couldn't get out.Zheng Mi clenched the armrest tightly, her heart sank even more.

"His Highness Xin Guo probably doesn't know that Concubine Shu is under house arrest." Yun Sang said softly, which made Zheng Mi even more upset.

But the most important thing right now is not Concubine Shu's house arrest, Zheng Mi said: "The dining room is blocked, what about the rest of the places? Are the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Bureau of Planting Flowers, and the Department of Chariots and Horses also blocked?"

This question has already been asked once in the morning, and people everywhere are either forbidden to enter or leave the palace, or people from the Zichen Palace have been replaced. Yun Sang looked at the queen in embarrassment, Zheng Mi was very upset, thinking, I only hope that Ming Su has already discovered the crisis .

Mingsu changed into inconspicuous clothes, and sat in the carriage, which was not the one she usually rides with the emblem of the Princess Mansion embedded, and a few servants with knives followed outside the carriage, pretending to be ordinary domestic servants .

She was about to leave the capital, and the city gates had been strictly checked these past few days. The opening time of the city gates was pushed back by an hour, and the closing time of the city gates was moved forward by an hour. People at the city gate, both princes and commoners, must be carefully inspected.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the gatekeeper is General Zhao, and everything has been taken care of," Xuan Guo reported.

Mingsu sat upright with his eyes closed, but when she opened her mouth, it was an irrelevant sentence: "There is still no news from the palace?"

Xuan Guo said: "Yes, they can't get in. The gates of the palace are like iron, they are stuck tightly, the palace people are not allowed to approach, and the imperial guards guarding the gates are not allowed to enter. Not only us, but the fifth prince is also frustrated. .”

There is no communication of news, so they don't know what is going on in the palace. Such a situation can't help but make people feel flustered.

Knowing that she misses Concubine Shu, Xuan Guo said, "Your Highness, be patient for a day, and you will see Concubine Shu tomorrow."

Right now, I can only hope so.Although Mingsu was uneasy, he still nodded.

The carriage gradually stopped, and there was a noise outside, it was about to pass the city gate.

Mingsu had no choice but to suppress his worries and deal with the present.The door curtain was lifted from the outside suddenly, and a bearded general stepped on the shaft of the car and leaned in. With one hand on the knife at his waist, he looked inside twice, stepped back, and said: "put!"

As soon as the words fell, the carriage started slowly and walked out.

As soon as they left the city gate, Mingsu and his party accelerated and went straight to a ruined temple ten miles away from the capital. In front of the temple, a general on horseback was already waiting. Behind him, he brought dozens of people. Compared with Mingsu's light cart, pawns are much more dignified.

Seeing the car coming from afar, the general dismounted immediately.

Mingsu opened the door curtain, did not get out of the car, but said to him: "General Liu is waiting for a long time."

General Liu got up immediately, and cupped his hands: "I'm afraid His Highness won't come."

Ming Su smiled, got out of the car, changed to a horse, waved his whip, and said: "It's not too late, let's go."

General Liu was still a little apprehensive, but when he saw her relaxed expression, as if she had a winning ticket, he also smiled, got on his horse, and followed Mingsu closely.

Arriving outside the Jingfang camp, just as night fell, in the Jingfang camp, countless torches were lit, illuminating the camp brightly. The camp was strictly disciplined, and patrol soldiers in armor passed by from time to time.

Mingsu tightened the reins in front of the camp and got off her horse. General Liu put on a hood, hid his face under the hood, and followed closely behind her.

Ming Su looked around here, and saw about a hundred soldiers guarding the camp gate, and there were also figures of people on the turrets on both sides, and every time less than half a stick of incense passed, there would be fully armed patrol soldiers passing by. There, the defense is extremely strict.

Instead of panicking, she said with a smile: "The Beijing Defense Battalion's discipline is clear, and the appearance of the soldiers is pruned, all thanks to the general's ability to manage the army."

General Liu smiled wryly, and said respectfully: "Your Highness has given you the award, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

Seeing her words again, she completely regarded the Jingfang Battalion as something in her pocket, which added a bit of confidence.

Minsu raised his chin.

Chang Shi Huiyi, who was closely behind her, stepped forward, looked down at the soldiers guarding the gate, and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty's secret edict has arrived, and the door has not yet been opened to welcome you."

When the gatekeeper heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know which nobleman it is, please let me know the general first."

Chang Shi showed dissatisfaction, as if annoyed that a mere gatekeeper dared to block the secret order from the door, and a clear voice sounded behind him: "It's okay to wait."

When the gatekeeper heard the sound, he looked at the source of the sound, and saw that it was a young man dressed as a king and grandson, and when he looked again, it was clearly a woman.

There is no other woman in the world who has such a magnanimity. He has an idea, and he thinks that His Highness Xin Guo will not hide his identity. It seems that a secret edict has really arrived.

But he didn't dare to open the door without authorization, bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen." After speaking, he ordered a few words to the soldiers beside him, and rushed into the camp to pass the word.

Not long after, two generals rushed out of the camp. The leader was Jiang Zhou, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Beijing Defense Battalion, followed by Gu Ruchuan.

Because it was a secret edict, Jiang Zhou did not publicize it. He stood behind the gate of the camp, saluted first, and then said, "Where is the secret edict? Please take a look."

Mingsu's originally smiling face sank when he heard this sentence, and said with a sneer, "Qing wants to pass the secret edict to you through this camp gate alone?"

As an official in Beijing, who has never heard of His Royal Highness Xin Guo's domineering, Jiang Zhou complained in his heart, thinking who would be wrong for His Majesty to send this ancestor, and respectfully said: "Before I took office, Your Majesty once had a clear understanding. The imperial edict, the important officials are not allowed to let anyone enter the camp without authorization, and they are not allowed to lead troops out of the camp without an edict. I dare not disobey, and I beg Your Highness to forgive me and have a look at the secret edict."

"Mingzhao is an edict, but a secret edict is not an edict? Jiang Zhou, if you don't open the gate of the camp today, you will welcome Gu in well. In the coming day, Gu will not let you go!" Mingsu said angrily.

Jiang Zhou was in a dilemma. He had only been in office for half a month, and there were still many things in the camp that had not been cleared up. Moreover, there were still many generals who had not yet arrived, and the camp was in disarray.

If His Highness Xin Guo has evil intentions, letting her into the camp is tantamount to letting a tiger into a herd of sheep.

But if there is a secret edict, he cannot afford to delay it.

Ming Su weighed in with him for a moment, but he didn't allow him to think carefully, and shouted loudly: "Okay, Gu knew that the general's fate would be unacceptable, but he didn't expect that in half a month, Commander Jiang would already be arrogant. This is the end. This secret edict will not be passed on, and it will be nothing more than a pass, so what are you afraid of!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Gu Ruchuan said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, wait a minute."

Ming Su had already turned around, and when he heard the words, he glanced back at him.Gu Ruchuan lowered his voice, and said to Jiang Zhou: "Why does the commander have a hard time with His Highness Xin Guo? Her temper, it's better to save face, you..." It's not that you don't know.

He continued, and then said: "The humble officer has seen it, there are no more than a few dozen people outside the camp, but there are 40 elite soldiers in our camp, what are you afraid of?

The most important thing is His Majesty's secret edict. If the secret edict cannot be announced, who can afford it if things are delayed? "

When Jiang Zhou heard it, he seemed to be encouraged, and thought.Also, dozens of people versus hundreds of thousands, what are you afraid of?

But he still faintly felt that something was wrong, His Highness Xin Guo was tyrannical and self-willed.

But she can compete with the two princes without losing the wind. Such a person is not as simple as it looks on the surface.

Jiang Zhou remained silent, as if he ignored Gu Ruchuan's words at all.

Mingsu's back was already wet with sweat, and he was extremely nervous. This time, he would risk his wealth and life, if he didn't succeed, he would only have a dead end.

She restrained her expression, didn't show any panic, and nodded with a panicked smile: "Today's humiliation, I will remember it alone."

After finishing speaking, she turned around, walked towards the horse, stepped on the stirrup, and got on the horse. The rest of the people were just like her, those who led the horse led the horse, and those who got on the horse got on the horse without any regrets.

Gu Ruchuan said anxiously: "She is a princess, she can't handle her errands well, and she will be confined for a few days at most when she returns to Beijing, and the commander will be responsible for the major delays!"

Jiang Zhou remained silent, staring at Mingsu. Mingsu looked back at him and sneered. It was all the anger and willfulness of a princess who was used to being neglected when she went out.

She raised the whip high and was about to swing it down. Jiang Zhou's eyes dimmed, and he said loudly, "Open the camp gate!"

Gu Ruchuan was behind him, letting go of Gao Xuan's heart.

Mingsu pulled the rein and watched the camp gate open with cold eyes.Jiang Zhou went out to greet him, and made amends with a smile. Mingsu didn't dare to delay any longer. If he delayed any longer, it would be dawn.She got off her horse and followed Jiang Zhou into the camp.

Since it is a secret edict, it is natural to declare it secretly, enter the master tent, and send everyone away. Jiang Zhou looked at the attendants around Mingsu, as well as the man who had been wearing a hood and half-hidden his face, and said: : "Your Highness, send them out too."

Ming Su said: "I'm afraid it won't work, they still have to do things for me."

Jiang Zhou suddenly felt something was wrong, he looked at the man, the man's hood had been lifted, Jiang Zhou's eyes widened: "Liu..."

Before he could continue, he let out a groan in pain. Gu Ruchuan from outside the hall sneaked in at some point, and the dagger stabbed steadily into his waist from behind.

Jiang Zhou's eyes were tearing, thinking that he came to the barracks half a month ago, and the new general took office, and there would inevitably be a lot of dissatisfaction among them. Gu Ruichuan worked for him, cleaned up the military discipline, and stabilized the situation. He was regarded as his confidant.

It turned out that it had been planned long ago, and he had already fallen for it.

"You..." Jiang Zhou glared at Gu Ruchuan, Gu Ruchuan pulled out his dagger, and Jiang Zhou fell down.

Blood spilled from his wounds, staining even his armor red.Seeing this bloody color, Mingsu suddenly had a splitting headache, his heart throbbed suddenly, and some scarlet image flashed in his mind.

"Your Highness, we can't delay!" Gu Ruchuan reminded.

Mingsu came back to his senses, held back the pain, turned his head and said to General Liu: "Next, it depends on the general's ability."

General Liu bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have led the Beijing Defense Battalion for five years. This battalion is full of soldiers brought by me. I have full confidence."

After all, without further words, he took the military talisman from the desk of the big account, and took his dozens of pawns to gather the military power.

Mingsu looked down at Jiang Zhou who was lying on the ground, squatted down, and felt his pulse, which was still there.

But if he was allowed to lie on the ground like this, no one cares about him, he would definitely die.

"Detain the guards and order the military doctor to treat him." Mingsu ordered.

When the army pulled out from the Beijing Defense Battalion, it was just past the time.Mingsu changed his armor and sat in the army. In the name of King Qin to calm the chaos, he mobilized the army and headed towards the capital.

Outside the capital, General Zhao had been waiting for a long time, the city gate opened silently, and the [-] elite soldiers who went ahead with strict discipline sneaked into the city silently.

At this time, the sky turned white, and in the middle of the capital, a team of cavalry was also dispatched from the imperial palace. The man at the head held the emperor's edict and went straight to Princess Xinguo's mansion. Said that Princess Xinguo had owed the grace of God and intended to seek rebellion.

If this imperial edict had come yesterday, it would have been wronged and framed, but today, Ming Su has confirmed the crime.

The imperial army was only a few hundred, and they all thought it was an errand, so they were not very vigilant. When encountering the Beijing Defense Battalion brought by Mingsu, they had no strength to resist.

It was already dawn, but the streets and alleys in central Beijing were completely deserted. The mansions of many court officials chose to close their doors after hearing the movement outside Princess Xinguo's mansion.

The leader of the forbidden army yelled loudly: "Your Highness has betrayed the grace of God and plotted rebellion, so why don't you think about Concubine Shu in the palace?"

Xuan Guo winked, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.

Ming Su raised his sword, stood high on the horse, and said loudly to everyone: "Your Majesty is in the palace, under coercion, and is in danger. You all follow me into the palace to serve the king, and the immortal merit is today!"

General Liu and several other generals of the Beijing Defense Battalion responded in unison: "I am waiting for His Royal Highness to send you!"

What followed was the deafening shouts of one hundred thousand elite soldiers.Anyone who sees this situation will have the heroic spirit of pointing the country.

But Ming Su didn't feel complacent, her heart was very tight, she was afraid that if there was a slight mistake, accidents would happen to the concubine mother and A Mi.I'm afraid that if she loses, the many soldiers behind her will be implicated by her.

But she could only show a calm and confident look on her face.

The walls of the imperial palace are high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of water in the palace, so it will not be a problem to defend for more than a year.

For more than a year, there are countless variables, and Mingsu has no such patience.Hearing suggestions from several generals, he ordered all troops to attack the North Gate.

His Royal Highness Xin Guo came down suddenly, all the gates were unprepared, only in time to hastily close the city gates, all the gates of the city sent people to rush into the palace, please show your Majesty.

The capital has been prosperous and peaceful for more than a hundred years, and it has long been a heap of splendid scenery, but today there is a war of war.The Imperial Army and the Jingfang guard one at the head of the city, and the other stands ready to go.

Ming Su sat on the horse, she looked towards the top of the city, the guards and soldiers of the imperial army all looked timid.

The emperor acted too hastily, and the imperial army, like the Jingfang, had changed many generals from top to bottom, and many of them hadn't even arrived yet.

And the leader of the imperial army was captured alive by her outside the princess mansion just now.It is inevitable that the imperial army will be leaderless.

The best thing right now is to call the door open to avoid the disaster of sword light.But how dare the forbidden army open the door without the emperor's edict.

Ming Su raised the sword, this was the first time in her life that she raised the sword with a armor, behind her were hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed her, and in front of her was the palace city where the emperor and her father lived.

The soldiers had already laid out their siege formations, and the guards at the head of the city were dazed and fearful, and they clenched their weapons tightly.

Taking advantage of the weak morale of the enemy army, this is the best time to attack the city.Mingsu swung his sword and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing were loud, the Beijing Defense Army was well-trained, covered by archers, and the gatebreaker raised the iron ram and rushed towards the city gate.

Many soldiers of the Forbidden Army were unable to react in time, and the arrows fell off the top of the city and fell to the ground, causing their brains to burst and blood to flow.

The gate-breaking soldiers rushed forward, but halfway through, the imperial guards also called in archers. They were behind the battlements and shot arrows down. It was easy to shoot up and down, not to mention the battlements and arrow towers as barriers.

The situation quickly reversed, and a group of doorbreakers fell, and the iron hit the wood and fell to the ground.

"Go! Go up!" Gu Ruchuan commanded the soldiers behind him, covering them with shields, and a large group of soldiers rushed straight up.

There are only so many arrows in the imperial army, and there are only a few archers, and the crowd tactics alone can exhaust them.

Sitting on the horse, Mingsu could see clearly that flesh and blood fell one after another in front of him, including the Beijing Defense Army and the Imperial Army. They were all bloody and bloody, and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from them and dripped onto the ground. , the smell of blood soon filled the air.

Another group of broken soldiers fell, and naturally new soldiers took over.Although the forbidden soldiers were few, they were superior in their well-equipped weapons, and they managed to hold on.

Seeing this, General Liu rode his horse to Mingsu's side, and said: "Your Highness, most of the city guards have family members in Beijing, why not invite their family members to call the door."

Mingsu nodded, and immediately separated two teams of soldiers, and rode their horses towards various places in the city.

A trace of confusion suddenly appeared in her heart, wondering why she had come to this step.Because her father would not spare her life, and because she wanted to live, she could only fight back.Because A Mi and Concubine Mu were in the palace, she thought that their family could be reunited.

But the soldiers guarding the city didn't want to reunite with their families, they were like boats in the river, they might not be villains, they just had different positions.

Could it be that if she wanted to reunite with A Mi, she would have to trample on the blood of others?

"There are so many ministers who usually talk about loyalty to the emperor and love for the people in the court hall. Now, none of them came. Where did the loyalty to the emperor come from, and where did the love for the people come from!" General Liu said with a sarcasm.

Mingsu suddenly thought, no, the imperial court should not be such a court where parties fight against dissidents, and the officials should not be such courageous officials. She did this not only for her and A Mi.

She didn't know if she was convincing herself, or if it was true, she became more determined.

On the city wall, a loud voice shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, strictly guard the city gate! Your Majesty has an order, strictly guard the city gate!"

When the imperial army heard this, it seemed that they suddenly had a backbone.

The voice sounded again: "Concubine Shu has been captured and is on her way to the city gate. Does His Highness Xin Guo even want his mother? Hurry up and get off the horse and plead guilty!"

When Ming Su heard this, he panicked. People always have the ability to be more calm when they are flustered.

Ming Su didn't say a word, staring at the movement on the city wall, after a while, he found that the arrow rain gradually slowed down.

"They are running out of arrows. Attack!"

Hearing this, Gu Ruchuan glanced at the top of the city. This time he drew out the knife on his waist, and more Beijing defense troops attacked, rushing through the rain of arrows, and the iron slammed into the city gate again and again.

Concubine Shu, who was supposed to be escorted to the top of the city, was in Zichen Palace.The queen stood beside her, and they were facing the emperor, who collapsed on the dragon chair and glared at the two of them.

"How dare the queen?" the emperor said angrily, and then slowly turned his eyes to look at Wuwei beside him, "I treat you well, how can you collude with her!"

"Your Majesty, hurry up and order the imperial guards to put down their knives and crossbows and open the city gate." Zheng Mi said.

The emperor refused to respond. He took Wuwei's elixir and suddenly couldn't move.

Outside the palace, His Highness Xin Guo was about to attack, but His Majesty suddenly fell ill. Seeing this, everyone in the Zichen Palace felt that there was no one left. Zhao Liang was in charge, and the queen was invited to preside over the overall situation.

The emperor was sick, so it was only natural to invite the queen to come, and naturally no one raised any objections.

When the emperor saw them, there was something he couldn't think of. He said loudly: "Come here! Come here!"

No one answered.

Zheng Mi stepped forward, took a blank imperial edict, and wrote Zhao Ming ordering the Imperial Army to abandon their weapons and surrender, took the jade seal to cover it, and handed it over to her confidant, ordering him to take it to the north gate.

Seeing that she didn't put him in his eyes at all, the emperor was furious, and shouted twice for escort.But the imperial army who usually guarded outside the Zichen Hall did not move.

"Your Majesty forgot? All the imperial guards have been sent to guard the gate." Zheng Mi said slowly.If not, she wouldn't be here.

The emperor seemed to have been drained of strength, his face was ashen and defeated, his eyes were cloudy, he looked at Zheng Mi, and said: "How can I not treat you well? As a queen, you can be so rebellious? You are plotting rebellion , aren’t you afraid of the reprimand of the people?”

Zheng Mi looked at him, and said: "Your Majesty, you should ask the former empress, Taifu Zheng, the corvee who built the palace for you, the victims who died of starvation, and Zhongliang who died in vain in prison. .”

The emperor shrank his eyes, fear appeared in his eyes, Zheng Mi approached him step by step, the emperor gasped, and wanted to hide back, but he couldn't move.

Zheng Mi bent down in front of him, and put her close to his ear.

The emperor's heart was beating wildly, and for some reason, he was so frightened that he murmured: "Don't come here..."

Zheng Mi didn't move anymore, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, before he heard the Queen's voice pouring into his ears: "I am Zheng Mi."

The emperor's eyes widened suddenly: "Impossible." He was terrified, and said again and again, "This is impossible... This is impossible!"

When the edict of the North Gate was delivered, the city gate had already been broken, and the defeat of the imperial army was determined. Once the edict arrived, a massacre was avoided, and all the imperial army abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Mingsu rushed into the inner court with the Beijing Defense Army.

She rushed forward impatiently, but her head was blank, she didn't know what to think, what to expect, and she didn't want to think about what would change from today.

She hurried to the outside of Zichen Hall and saw the man standing on the jade steps.

All of a sudden, the expectation is there, and the sky seems to be clear and broad.

Ming Su held the sword and walked up to her, Zheng Mi watched her approach step by step, their eyes met.

Behind her were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, all wearing armor and holding knives in their hands, looking menacing.

Ming Su stopped in her tracks, she stared at Zheng Mi intently, then threw the sword aside, and knelt down: "I pay my respects to the empress."

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers knelt down behind them, and the voice of shouting resounded through the sky: "I pay my respects to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

However, Zheng Mi could only see Ming Su in front of her, she bent her lips and said hoarsely, "Get up, get up quickly."

With her support, Mingsu stood up and hugged her into his arms. Zheng Mi closed her eyes and leaned on her shoulder. For so long, she had never felt so at ease like this moment.

She heard Ming Su calling softly in her ear: "A Mi..."

One after another, with anxiety, with suppressed joy, with deep love.

Zheng Mi burst into tears: "It's me, Ming Su, I'm back."
