Reborn imperial concubine

The carriage didn't take the official road, and started to bump soon after leaving. The cold wind of late autumn snarled through the window, and Pomegranate dug out a tiger-skin blanket from the luggage, and covered it on Gu Sheng's swollen belly.

Gu Sheng and Concubine You, one facing west and the other facing east, fled the capital in two ways. They had no way to seek the protection of His Highness the Ninth Prince, because going south must pass by water, how can civilian ships avoid warships?

So they can only go by land, to the south of the Yangtze River by land. With the speed of the two of them, they rushed to the place. His Royal Highness probably returned to Beijing early. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Sheng decided to separate and flee for refuge.

If things go well, Concubine You Gui should have gotten rid of the pursuit at this time, if not, Gu Sheng will be powerless to recover, so it is useless to think too much.

In order to prevent Jiang Han from interrogating her whereabouts, Gu Sheng did not reveal her whereabouts to anyone, and the coachman and the guards riding horses outside did not know where she was going, and they all listened to the master in the car to tell her where to flee at any time.

"Third sister, sleep for a while when you're tired, and this servant will watch the way for you." Pomegranate took a stick to turn on the stove, and handed it to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng looked at her dully, took the stove, and said with a wry smile: "You still always call me third sister. I've been married for so long, and I'm no longer a little girl in the house. I'm still third sister, too. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others."

Shiliu was slightly taken aback, as if she realized at this moment that her casual address was already inappropriate.

She stared blankly at Gu Sheng's small face, and stared at the little girl who was taking care of her, and now she was pregnant with her own child, her heart suddenly felt sour, and her eyes became moist: "No matter how old you are, you are always The servant's third sister."

She has no family and no children. Since she was seven years old, she was bought into the mansion to serve Yan Shi, and then became Gu Sheng's personal servant girl. Along the way, the little master was like her own child, and also her only support.

Gu Sheng lowered his head and fiddled with the small cloisonné enamel hand stove in his hand, and his heart became sour: "I've grown up so much, I still always cause trouble for others, what if Jiang Han goes to Yan's house and it's hard for my mother and grandma..."

Shiliu immediately comforted her: "It is stated in the letter you left for the Second Highness that you only want to save the child's life, and it's not that you won't go back. The Second Highness is not someone who randomly seeks out others to vent his anger. of.

As for the protection of the concubine and the concubine, it is the matter of protecting oneself, which cannot be shared with you, so don't worry about it. "

After more than half a month, Gu Sheng and his entourage fled to a village near the Bohai Sea in the north of Jinan, temporarily bought a few private houses and settled down, and completely severed contact with the court.

The urgent report secretly sent to the south of the Yangtze River should have reached Jiang Chenyue. To be on the safe side, Gu Sheng planned to send someone to the capital to investigate the situation in three months.

The child is afraid to be born here.

There is no medical clinic in the village that specializes in taking care of Jungui, so he can only find a stable woman to deliver the baby.

This is Gu Sheng's first child, she has no experience, and Jungui's body is delicate, giving birth in the private sector, both she and the child are in great danger, which really makes her feel uneasy.

But at this time in the capital, Jiang Han, who had been betrayed by her, had already put all his anger into seizing the throne, and had no time to allocate elite forces to pursue Concubine You Gui and Gu Sheng.

The forces supporting King Xuan gradually spread throughout the dynasty, destroying the emperor's only remaining loyal forces in the dynasty.

Qiyou 52 years, Meng Dong.

The imperial court and the emperor who was going abroad finally cut off contact completely.

The army sealed off the city, and Jiang Han's enthronement edict had been drawn up, but the generals guarding the city suddenly entered the palace overnight and reported to Jiang Han—"There are 15 non-Beijing soldiers and horses outside the city, claiming to return to His Highness."

These 15 soldiers were soldiers ambush at Hangu Pass pretending to be Rongdi soldiers. They were the troops that Jiang Han had raised privately in the three northeastern provinces in the past ten years. Naturally, the generals in Beijing did not know.

Now that this group of soldiers and horses have returned to the court, they must have won the surprise attack.

The emperor probably got the news from the middle of the capital. He rushed back to the capital in the starry night and was ambushed and attacked halfway.

Jiang Han immediately summoned the generals outside the city, and as expected, they were his own.

The general entered the palace with a secret report: the emperor had been chased and fled back to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Han was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately transferred his generals and horses into the city to make a strong presence for his enthronement ceremony together.

On Meng Dong's 21st, Jiang Han led all civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to announce the sacrificial ceremony. Afterwards, the cabinet ministers and six officials ran to play: "The ceremony is completed, please take the throne of the emperor."

The empress dowager and the concubines of the East and West Six Palaces stood on the west side of the Temple of Heaven, and the empress headed by her complexion was as pale as paper——

More than 20 soldiers and horses gathered in the Temple of Heaven, and none of them could be appointed by the queen. She could only watch helplessly as that evil-sounding usurper ascended the throne.

Afterwards, all the ministers knelt in with the crown of gun and put it on the case. The chief assistant of the cabinet took the crown of gun and added it to the holy bow. They bowed their heads in a row and played music.All the ministers bowed three times, flattened their bodies, and stopped happily.Then bow again and again, flatten your body, and stop happily.

When the ceremony was over, the officer who held the treasure opened the box and took the jade seal and handed it to the first assistant, who held the jade seal in respect and said: "The emperor has ascended the throne, and the ministers and others would like to present the imperial treasure."

At this moment, the guards on the periphery suddenly made a noisy sound of fighting!

Jiang Han, who was about to accept the jade seal, changed his expression, and the guard with a knife beside him immediately shouted sideways: "Who dares to be presumptuous!"

As soon as the words fell, the Temple of Heaven Square, which was still calm just now, suddenly stirred up a storm!

Jiang Han was condescending on the Temple of Heaven, looking closely, the mutiny turned out to be the 15 soldiers who entered the city the day before yesterday.

The Jingzhong army is only [-]. Even though they are brave and good at fighting, they are gradually declining due to their lack of defense and the lack of numbers.

In desperation, Jiang Han put away the jade seal, leaped down from the top of the Temple of Heaven, and shot himself, leaping into the chaotic army like lightning, and within a short while, captured 15 army chiefs and generals with his bare hands.

Jiang Han grabbed the general, dragged him to the rooftop, bowed his head and yelled at the soldiers below, "Stop!"

However, the rebel army seemed to disregard the idea of ​​"capture the thief first and capture the king first", and ignored the captured rebel generals, but became more and more courageous as they fought.

Jiang Han's "stop" made his Beijing soldiers panic, and the battle was even more retreating.

In the chaos, a tall and slender soldier suddenly jumped from the crowd to the steps of the Temple of Heaven, and hurried up the steps.

The guards around Jiang Han were still dazed and confused. When they saw someone who dared to step forward to stab, they immediately drew the arrow to the bow, and there was a sound of breaking wind. Blocked and dodged easily, but missed a shot.

In desperation, Jiang Han snatched the bow and arrow, drew the arrow and drew the bow with his own hands, and shot at the people below the steps——

This sword was as fast as lightning, and it came fiercely. The person who came turned over hurriedly and jumped, and the helmet on his head fell to the ground, and there was a muffled thud!

In an instant, a piece of light brown long hair was reflected in everyone's eyes, fluttering with the biting cold wind, reflecting the winter sun as if burning hot temperature.

Jiang Han was caught off guard, and when he looked closely, the man had leaped onto the roof, his long hair was dancing in the wind on the top of the altar, and his pair of pale golden peach blossom eyes seemed to gather the golden light between heaven and earth, like a blade, approaching her !

"It's His Highness the Ninth Prince!" Everyone in the Temple of Heaven exclaimed, and the guards on the stage tried their best not to shout out.

"His Royal Highness is back!"

Not long after, the Beijing soldiers gave up resistance amidst the commotion, bowed their heads and captured them.

As if struck by lightning, Jiang Han looked at the pair of shallow pupils opposite him in disbelief, turned around abruptly, strangled the traitorous general by the throat with one hand, and scolded through gritted teeth, "How dare you betray me?"

"No! Your Highness..." The general explained with panic on his face: "We were attacked three days ago. Most of the soldiers and horses in the army were killed in battle, and the rest were all detained. Among the 15 people, except for the subordinates and a few others The leading general is yours...the others...the others are all brought by Jiang Chenyue! Your Highness! These are not our people!"

Jiang Han's eyes were about to burst, he slowly let go of the general, turned his head to look at Jiang Chenyue stiffly, and said in a low voice, "Impossible! Where did you get 15 soldiers and horses, these are not Beijing soldiers, it's impossible!"

Jiang Chenyue raised the corners of her mouth: "This is the rebel army from the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Now they have surrendered to the imperial court. Surrender, second sister."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chenyue raised her index finger and thumb, put them between her lips, and blew a sharp whistle, and there was a rush of footsteps in the distance——

A soldier in golden armor jumped out from the crowd, knelt down to Jiang Chenyue's feet, and held up a scroll of imperial decree with both hands respectfully.

"This is the real succession edict!"

All civil and military officials knelt down on the ground in an instant.

Jiang Han's face was pale and he was about to die. He turned his head to look at the dark official uniforms and armor under the stage, as if he was in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.

King Xuan was imprisoned by the imperial decree for the crime of treason, and the eldest prince immediately handed over all the remaining military power to Jiang Chenyue.

In order to stabilize the court situation, Jiang Chenyue pardoned all the ministers who supported Jiang Han under the pretext of being "coerced by King Xuan".

The emperor has not yet returned to the court, and the mastermind criminals have not yet been convicted, and the court has restored a short period of tranquility.

Back in the palace, when the queen saw His Highness the Ninth Prince, she suppressed the tears she had held back for several months before she opened the gate, and began to tell about the shock of the past month without a sound.

When His Royal Highness received the urgent report, he only knew that Concubine You Gui was in danger and was sent to the border with the help of his personal guards. He didn't know the situation after the incident, so he had to interrupt the Queen's crying at this moment, and asked anxiously: "The rest of the people in the Palace of Compassionate Ning Woolen cloth?"

The queen wiped away her tears, sobbed and said: "All the people in the Palace of Compassion and Ning have been imprisoned by Jiang Han, there is no need to worry, your mother and concubine have left the city safely."

Only then did the two calm down, and they walked into the front hall of Kunning Palace with a group of concubines and sat down.

After crying, the queen felt a lot more relaxed, and asked about the emperor's situation in Jiangnan.

His Royal Highness Ninth Prince was restless, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace immediately, so he had to take advantage of the empress's chatter and order his attendants to take the concubine into the palace to meet her.

The queen covered her mouth with a smile when she heard the words, and said, "Look at you in a hurry. In order to save your mother and concubine, your princess personally set up a trap to trap Jiang Han, and was also escorted out of the city. She couldn't come back for a while. Wait for her After learning the news about the capital, I will come back by myself."

Jiang Chenyue was a little surprised, and just about to speak, she heard the Queen laughing and said: "Everyone is so happy, now you have returned to the palace safely, and when Sheng'er comes back, you will be able to add another person to the Jiang family."

Jiang Chenyue politely asked indifferently: "Who is it?"

The queen laughed loudly: "Who else can there be? Of course it's your child! Your princess is pregnant, and it's almost five months!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was dumbfounded, and then burst into cheers!

Only His Highness the Ninth Highness was shocked, and Chi Chi froze in his original seat.

Seeing that she was so shameless, the queen immediately became unhappy, squinting her eyes and asked in doubt: "Your Highness, are you being silly?"

Jiang Chenyue's face was expressionless, she paused for a moment before narrowing her eyes, looked at the queen seriously, and warned in a low voice: "Mother, this joke can't be fooled around."

The queen didn't know, so: "Whoever is joking with you, of course it is true!"

There was a hint of annoyance on the lower part of the Ninth Palace, staring at the Queen coldly, and asked in a low voice, "Five months soon? Is it the pulse from the imperial physician?"

At this time, Gu Sheng had actually been pregnant for more than six months, but the queen didn't know about it, but seeing the displeasure on the face of the ninth palace, she immediately reminded with a smile: "Your Highness is a noble person who forgets things a lot. It was a good time in the wing room of the side hall of the palace, can't I forget? Sheng'er happened to be pregnant that day!"

As soon as the words fell, a wave of anger filled the room instantly, the queen gasped in shock from Jiang Chenyue's sudden murderous expression, and murmured: "What's wrong..."
