Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

A moment before midnight, the emperor finally woke up.

Concubine Jin, who had been waiting on the side of the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the palace servants to bring hot water, and personally held the emperor's head to feed him a little bit.

The emperor's condition didn't seem to be very good. He didn't want to drink any more after drinking half a glass. He frowned and coughed a few times, his voice hoarse: "When is it?"

"It's about time."

It seemed that because of the news of Prince Yan's death, the emperor looked a lot older in an instant, and he was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open.He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then stretched out his hand for Concubine Jin to help him up.

"Your Majesty hasn't recovered yet, why don't you sleep for a while." Concubine Jin gently advised.

The emperor didn't respond to her, but looked around sideways and asked, "Where are the empress and prince?"

Concubine Jin said: "It should be resting in the Baoqing Palace. If the emperor wants to see, the concubine will order someone to pass it on."

The emperor didn't speak, it was his acquiescence.Concubine Jin got up, opened the door and wanted to call Eunuch Li over.

Under the eaves of the corridor, the palace lanterns that fell on the floor tiles flickered on and off, illuminating the corners of several dark shadows.Eunuch Li and the palace guards outside all knelt together, silently controlled by the shadows in the corner, seeing Concubine Jin open the door, he quickly pointed at her and screamed a few times.

One of the black shadows flashed in front of Concubine Jin almost at the same time, and a sharp sword blade lay across her neck as white as jade.

Concubine Jin didn't dare to act rashly, she looked at the man in black in front of her, her beautiful eyes were cold, and she calmly asked, "Who are you?"

Hei Ying didn't speak, but a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Concubine Jin has worked hard to take care of my father, and my ministers have come to help."

The black shadows consciously parted ways to make way. The prince, dressed in a jiao robe, walked slowly and motioned for the man in black to put down his sword.

The man in black did so, but remained silent and stayed beside Concubine Jin. It seemed that if she made any rash moves, the sword would unsheath again without hesitation and cut off her head.

Concubine Jin looked at the prince's face calmly. After the initial moment of surprise, she has recovered calm now, as if such a scene had long been expected by her.

She looked coldly at the prince and the queen who came out behind him.Compared with the prince's calm and calm, the queen almost couldn't help showing a happy expression when she saw her, wishing that she would die under the chaos of the sword now.

"The prince is trying to force the palace?"

The queen looked at Concubine Jin, who was still calm in front of her, with jealousy and hatred in her eyes.This woman still has to pretend to be neither humble nor overbearing, who is she pretending to be?

She really wanted to see how embarrassed this woman was when everything was taken away, and then there would be a wonderful expression on that beautiful face.

The empress suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said bitterly: "Could it be that Concubine Jin is confused, how could such a shocking thing like forcing the palace happen? It's just that a few palace people didn't take care of their duty, and this palace just taught the emperor a lesson. "

Eunuch Li panicked and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves treat you and the crown prince loyally and unambiguously! Please be careful, Your Majesty the Empress!"

A black shadow immediately knocked the noisy little old man unconscious on the ground, and the sharp begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Concubine Jin was unmoved, and only said: "Chongning just guards outside the other palace, if the body of the holy dragon is damaged, does the queen really think that she can retreat completely?"

"Why would Duke Chongning oppose me?" The queen smiled calmly, "This palace is here tonight at the side of the Qing emperor. Even if Duke Chongning comes, he must help me, otherwise, he will be a treason and a sycophant." !"

Concubine Jin looked at her like she was crazy.

The man in black pulled Concubine Jin aside and let out the main entrance.The queen walked to the door, stood upright and said loudly to the inside: "The sinful minister forgives the prince and concubine Jin for plotting rebellion, intending to harm the sage, and the thief has been taken down now. The concubine came late to rescue, and I hope the sage forgives the sin!" "

After all, without waiting for any response from inside, he tilted his head and ordered in a cold voice: "Take her down."

The man in black got the order and reached out to take Concubine Jin down, but when he was about to meet Concubine Jin, the arrow feathers shot through the air with flames, directly pierced the man in black's palm, and nailed him to the ground. On the palace pillar.

The fire was particularly dazzling in the dark night, the queen exclaimed and almost fell down.The men in black stood in front of her and the prince well-trained, drawing their swords one after another.

The queen lost her sense of proportion, and she was already uneasy about the forced palace, so she couldn't help but screamed: "Who? But Duke Chongning?"

However, it was far from what she expected. The Shen family army led by Duke Chongning did not hear the movement in the other palace so soon, let alone arrived so soon.

A slender black figure slowly stood up from the palace wall not far away, and its high ponytail raised a rebellious arc in the night wind.He stepped on the Pixiu stone statue on the wall, and easily pulled the full moon bow in his hand to the widest part. When the lighted arrow feathers were attached to the bow, the flames illuminated his face.

The prince opened his eyes slightly, and subconsciously took half a step forward: "Shen Rongci, why are you here? Go back quickly."

Shen Rongci didn't seem to hear what he said, a pair of fox eyes looked at him extremely coldly, and the three white eyes with more whites flashed a cold killing light.As long as he loosened his fingertips lightly, the flaming arrow feathers would shoot through the prince's eyes.

Seeing him, the queen immediately shouted like crazy: "Shen Rongci, how dare you! He is the prince! Don't you know what will happen to you if you assassinate the prince!"

That's right, all the people present were the prince's secret guards, and Shen Rongci was alone, no matter how powerful he was, how could he leave unscathed?What's more, as long as the emperor didn't depose the prince, Shen Rongci would never touch him, otherwise, what awaited Shen Rongci was a deep abyss where life would be worse than death.

Even if he is the son of Duke Chongning, he would never dare to—

"Let Concubine Jin go, otherwise, he will end up."

Shen Rongci deflected his wrist, and when no one expected that he would shoot the second arrow, he shot the man in black without hesitation. The flames quickly engulfed the figure of the man, and he even screamed. No sound came out.

The tragic situation of the man in black fell into the eyes of everyone present. For a moment, what they saw in front of their eyes was not the son of Duke Chongning, that dandy whom everyone hated, but the real Shura God of Death from Abi Hell.

Shen Rongci lit the third arrow without hesitation, and pointed it steadily at the prince.

The queen screamed, and subconsciously threw herself on the prince, protecting him tightly.

The prince looked at him steadily, as if for a moment he showed an expression of disbelief, then in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal, just calmly pushed the queen away from him, walked out of the crowd calmly, Expose the whole body to Shen Rongci's vision.

"Prince!"

The prince ignored the queen, but raised his head to meet Shen Rongci's gaze calmly, and put on his usual smile again, but the words he said were like the most vicious curse, chilling to the bone:

"Young general, kill me, and you will never find Gu Chiyuan in your life."

Shen Rongci's face remained unchanged, but the fingers holding the arrow feathers trembled slightly when the prince mentioned the name.

The prince's voice continued: "Major General, come down, I'll take you to find him. I know the emperor's life is in your eyes, far less than him and Concubine Jin, isn't it? Why do you risk losing what you care most about?" The risk of two people, to save an old man who is dying?"

Listen, what a filial son speaks.

Shen Rongci sneered in his heart.

Fortunately, the crown prince took Gu Chiyuan away when he was unconscious, and happened to be seen by the system.The system knew that the crown prince was going to make trouble, so he hid first, and wanted to go to Tangquan to look for him, but found that he was nowhere to be found. The system searched several times in other palaces, and finally found him who was tied up in Baoqing Palace. rescue him.

But they had no idea of ​​Gu Chiyuan's whereabouts.Shen Rongci decided to divide his troops into two groups, letting the system continue to search for Gu Chiyuan's location, while he himself came to Yulongdian to rescue Concubine Jin first.

Unexpectedly, it was still half a step late.

Shen Rongci originally wanted to hide in the dark and take the opportunity to act, but seeing Concubine Jin was about to be taken away, he shot an arrow to stop him in desperation.

And when he appeared at this time, he just wanted to save Concubine Jin, and didn't expect that he could successfully stop the prince and queen with his own strength.What's more, he never thought of really killing the prince, after all, the prince is Gu Chiyuan's elder brother no matter what.

He just wanted to use the flaming arrows to lure Chong Ninggong outside the other palace.At this time, the sky was already dark, but any light was particularly eye-catching, not to mention such an obvious flame arrow.As long as someone sees it, they will definitely know that something happened in the other palace.

As long as Lord Chongning arrives in time, there is still room for the situation to turn around.And what Shen Rongci can do now is to hold back the prince and queen.

Concubine Jin looked at him worriedly, and shook her head slightly at him.Even the prince's hidden guard holding a sword at each other failed to move her, but seeing Shen Rongci at this time, she still took off her hard carapace, exposing her softest weakness.

Shen Rongci looked at her, and put down the bow and arrow in silence, as if he was moved by the prince's condition, he made a choice after a short hesitation.

"The prince keeps his word, I want to see Gu Chiyuan intact."

But the prince didn't show the smile that got what he wanted, but lowered his eyes, as if he had lost a complete defeat, his complexion became very ugly.

"Shen Rongci, you might as well kill me with one arrow."

"Prince!"

The queen couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward, trying to pull him back under the eaves of the corridor, as if that would completely save him from danger.

She screamed sharply: "Come here! Quickly bring this traitor to Ben Gong!"

"I see who dares!"

The crown prince let out a low growl, and none of the hidden guards dared to move, they just stopped and waited for his order.

The queen looked at him in disbelief, as if she had just realized what kind of person her son was today, she shook her head repeatedly: "Prince...you really treat him..."

The prince smiled wryly at the queen, and looked up at the bright figure under the moonlight, like a believer desperately praying for the god he believed in to look down at him.

It was only now that he finally understood that when the day came to kill Shen Rongci, he would not do it no matter what.

"Let him go, he won't be able to turn the tide."
