Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The gates of various palaces were captured one after another, and the turmoil in the palace spread rapidly.

When Gao Xian learned that the news arrived, Xue Shu had already led people to kill him in front of Qianqing Palace.

The two sides confronted each other, and there were obviously more people in Qianqing Palace, but those forbidden soldiers were overwhelmed by Xue Shu's momentum, and they already had the intention to retreat.

This mad dog was clearly transferred away by King An, why did he suddenly come back? !

Gao Xian gritted his teeth with hatred, and the two confronted each other for a long time. He knew Xue Shu's cruelty well, so he hurriedly left without daring to approach, and went to Yongxi Palace to find Yin Ciguang.

Yin Ciguang still lives in Yongxi Palace.

When Gao Xian came to find him, he didn't stop and was burning paper money in the house.The flames jumped high, and the light from the flames reflected his pale face, making him look lifeless.

I don't know if he woke up after getting the news, or if he didn't sleep at all.Gao Xian couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly told the situation in the palace.

Eunuchs are rootless duckweeds.His wealth and life are tied to Yin Ciguang!

However, Yin Ciguang didn't look surprised when he heard it, he just murmured: "How did he notice it so quickly?"

No surprise, let alone panic, only a little regret.

After spending so much time arranging, he thought he could delay it for at least two more days.

Xue Shu came back much faster than expected, there were many things he had no time to do.

Yin Ciguang lowered his eyes, and poked something burning in the copper basin with the tongs.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Gao Xian felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and his voice became high-pitched and sharp: "Your Majesty has already left an edict to pass on the throne to the prince. Xue Shu's move is treasonous! I also ask King An to give you an order." Calm the chaos!"

"Squeeze the chaos?" Yin Ciguang looked at him sideways, his eyes reflecting the fire were extremely calm: "How to put it down? The people in your hands, plus the ones given by the emperor, can beat Xue Shu together? "

"We have an edict, and it's justified!" Gao Xian's anxiety grew stronger, Wang An's attitude today was too weird.

"The third prince also has an edict. Has he become the emperor? Or have you persuaded those important officials under house arrest in the side hall to defect to me?" Yin Ciguang asked calmly: "If the father really has the ability to rely on a paper edict Just pass the throne to me, why do you think he didn't even dare to mention the abolishment of the crown prince after so many years?"

It's just an imperial edict, if no one recognizes it, then it is a false edict.

Seeing his mocking face, Gao Xian finally realized something, and pointed at him with trembling fingers: "You, how dare you lie to me!"

When Yin Ciguang wooed him back then, he kept saying that Emperor Longfeng already had the intention to set up another party, as long as he was willing to be used by him, his position would be guaranteed to be stable when he ascended the throne in the future, and Xue Shu could even be handed over to him!

He doesn't believe in everything, and he has reservations when doing things for the other party.But Concubine De hijacked Emperor Longfeng to obtain the imperial edict, but told him to board Yin Ciguang's boat with all his heart!

——He knew that Emperor Longfeng kept a blank imperial edict hidden in his pillow.That day Emperor Longfeng suddenly turned away everyone and asked for pen and ink again, so he vaguely guessed something.It's just that he didn't expect that the last imperial edict was intercepted by the concubine De's mother and son.

If not, how could he take such a risk? !

But now Yin Ciguang said that this imperial edict is useless at all!

Gao Xian's chest heaved and his face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and stared at him viciously, as if wishing he could pounce on him and bite off a piece of flesh from him.

On the contrary, Yin Ciguang looked at him strangely: "Eunuch Gao has been with the emperor for a long time, and he has become as stupid as him? The crown prince's position is stable, and everyone expects it. What should I fight with him? Why should I fight with him? "

Since he regained his identity, everyone took it for granted that he would fight with the prince.

Everyone is trying to force him to compete with the prince.

He thought it would be fine as long as he kept his own heart, but he forgot that in this deep palace and high walls, the weak are not allowed to have a choice.

From the moment he stood in front of the stage, or from the moment he formed an alliance with the prince in the prisoner Xuefulang, he was already out of control, but he realized it too late.

He didn't want to be resentful, he just felt unwilling.

Why is it him?

Yin Ciguang smiled miserably, threw the tongs on the ground, got up and walked out of the hall.

Gao Xian's staring gaze fell on the brazier, but he saw the bright yellow cloth that hadn't been completely engulfed by the flames.His eyes widened slowly, and he finally realized what was burning in the brazier. He kicked the brazier over like crazy, and tried to extinguish the flames with his clothes in vain.

Listening to the movement behind him, Yin Ciguang didn't look back.He walked slowly to the Drum Tower in the northwest.

Looking from a height, you can see the entire Yanwang Palace, the flames are connected in a line, spreading from the north and east to the west and south respectively, gradually forming a closing trend.

Most of them are people from Beijing camp.

Yin Ciguang turned his head to look in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and it was also brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

He tried his best to plan to transfer Xue Shu away, just wanting a little more time, but in the end it was just wishful thinking.

It's a pity that the good tea he specially prepared will not be used after all.

The Drum Tower was shrouded in the boundless night, the smile on his face finally fell to the bottom, and finally turned into a tired expressionless face.

Fortunately, it's almost over.

The battle in front of the Qianqing Palace lasted only a quarter of an hour before the imperial army surrendered and surrendered.

The square in front of the palace gate was in a mess, the fallen corpses were cleaned up one after another, and the wounded were brought down for medical treatment.

Xue Shu wiped off the blood on the blade, put the sword back into its sheath, and went to meet Yin Chengyu who was watching the battle in person.

"Luckily, the minister did not disgrace his life, and the chaotic party has already been punished."

Yin Chengyu wore a crimson purple four-claw python robe, the hem of which was not stained with blood.He took a step forward and helped Xue Shu up, who was kneeling on one knee, and said: "Sui Gu went to see Father, such a big commotion outside, I don't know if it has disturbed Father's recuperation."

He said so, but actually he wasn't worried at all.

It doesn't matter whether Emperor Longfeng is dead or alive now.

Yin Chengyu wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Xue Shu grabbed his hand backhand.He glanced at the other party, lightly stroked the inside of his wrist with the tip of his thumb, narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes, and said silently: Let go.

The itch on the wrist penetrated into his heart, Xue Shu licked his lower teeth, and let go of his hand obediently.

When the palm of the hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, the pulp of the fingers rubbed the texture of the knife handle, it was cold and hard.Not as delicate and smooth as His Highness's hands.

The small movements between the two were nothing more than a blink of an eye, no one noticed the undercurrent between the two, the prince was the first to walk in front, and Xue Shu followed half a step behind with the sword, it was the guard commander of the Eastern Palace Zhao Lin Du had to go to the back row.

It looks like a benevolent and loyal minister.

The courtiers who had been under house arrest twice within three or four days saw this scene when they heard that the commotion outside had calmed down and came out of the side hall cautiously.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: Who said that the crown prince and Governor Xue had a rift?

Simply nonsense!

When Yin Chengyu walked in front of the Qianqing Palace, all the courtiers saluted one after another, and then followed behind, swarming into the Qianqing Palace, poking their heads to look inside, wondering what is going on inside now.

As the crown prince, Yin Chengyu did his part not to let the most enter the palace.

It was only when he got to the door of the inner hall that he found that the door was locked, and there was no movement in the inner hall.

A look of astonishment appeared on Yin Chengyu's face, and the courtiers who followed him were also very surprised and discussed.

Without ordering, Xue Shu took a step forward, drew his knife and cut off the lock.

The remnant lock fell to the ground with a muffled sound, as if hitting everyone's hearts.

Yin Chengyu raised his hand and slowly pushed the door open. The room was pitch black, and there was still a faint smell of blood coming out.

At this time, the whispered discussion had stopped, and everyone had bad guesses in their hearts, and the atmosphere froze for a while.As usual, Xue Shu entered the room with ease, took out a torch and lit the floor lamps on the left and right sides of the screen.

There was light in the dark inner hall, and everyone finally saw the scene of the inner hall clearly.

Behind the screen was a figure lying faintly, revealing the corners of bright yellow clothes that only emperors are qualified to wear.

Yin Chengyu quickly walked around the screen, then stopped and exclaimed: "Father!"

He seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and even took two steps back.The courtiers at the back didn't care about their dignity at this moment, and rushed to the front one after another, but when they saw the situation behind the screen, they all lost their voices in shock.

——Behind the screen, Emperor Longfeng's eyes were wide open, lying on the ground covered in blood, his neck was scratched, and there was a sharp piece of porcelain stuck in his chest.I don't know how much blood shed, and the red and white carpet under her body has been soaked into black and red, and if she accidentally steps on it, it feels wet and sticky.

On the side of the dragon couch that was farther away from him, the third prince sat half-closed on the dragon couch with a dull expression.Seeing so many people coming in, they only moved their eyeballs.Concubine De curled up and hid in the bed curtain behind him, only half of her face was exposed, one eye was watching them vigilantly, she was still muttering something, looking a little crazy.

Whether it was the emperor who had lost his breath, or the third prince and concubine De who had survived, they all had messy clothes and many scars on their bodies.Looking at the mess in the room, and the precious porcelain broken all over the floor, one can almost imagine what happened in this room.

The courtiers who came in looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to speak, and they all felt remorse in their hearts.

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have followed!

In the end, it was Yin Chengyu who stepped forward, closed Emperor Longfeng's wide-open eyes, and ordered in a deep voice: "Concubine De and the third prince murdered the emperor, they shall be punished!" , Take them down.

Neither of them resisted, or they had no strength to resist, so they were just detained.

Yin Chengyu ordered Ren Haosheng to restrain the body of Emperor Longfeng and clean the inner hall.After withdrawing, he burst out and said: "The commander of the imperial guards who were guarding the Qianqing Palace was escorted up, the third prince was defeated and escaped from the palace, and the concubine De was imprisoned, how could he appear in the Qianqing Palace?!"

The courtiers who were shocked by Emperor Longfeng's death came back to their senses and realized that the third prince should not be here.

The commander of the forbidden army quickly recruited: "It was King An and Eunuch Gao who sent them here."

Yin Chengyu was not surprised that he had guessed about this for a long time, and he only collected his expression and said, "Where are King An and Gao Xian? Bring them here."
