Su Mingyue was looking at the East Palace in front of the Wutai Hall. The fire was gradually rising. The East Palace is empty now. Setting fire will not hurt innocent people, but the fire is rising and can be seen from more than ten miles away. , endangering the prince.

Luo Ying ran back and said, "Master Zhao led the Imperial Guards to wait outside the Qianqing Palace early in the morning."

Seeing that the people arrived almost, Su Mingyue didn't tell them what they were going to do today. Firstly, the cause and effect were too complicated, and secondly, they didn't necessarily follow him. If there was a slight discrepancy, this was the crime of Zhu Jiuzu. .

"Oh, there's water coming over there, it seems to be in the direction of the East Palace." Someone shouted.

Su Mingyue said: "The emperor is critically ill tonight, someone is planning to usurp the throne and kill the crown prince, please go around quickly and call for help in the East Palace!"

Someone said: "Didn't the prince go to Nangong?"

The people in the palace were not called Han Yunyan King Yan, they were still called the prince, especially under the leadership of Su Mingyue, they naturally recognized Han Yunmi as the prince in their hearts.

Su Mingyue said: "The prince is just outside the gate of the palace, blocked by thieves, let's put out the fire so that the prince can live in the palace. Hurry up and put out the fire, no matter how big the fire is, it will bring disaster to the middle palace."

Li Manyi took a gong, knocked on it and ran out shouting, "The East Palace is flooded, the East Palace is flooded, everyone hurry up and save it!"

Speaking of which, the maids and eunuchs ran towards the East Palace, calling for people from each palace while they were running. Su Mingyue and Wang Wanyan took several trusted eunuchs and maids from Ruhui Palace and Jianzhang Palace and wrapped them in silk cloth. The blunderbuss covered people's eyes and ears, and then they went straight to Qianqing Palace. On the way, they met Xiyu who had returned from setting fire. Xiyu looked as usual, and quickly followed Su Mingyue.

After turning a corner, we will reach Qianqing Palace, Su Mingyue asked everyone to stop and wait for Feng Xu in a remote place.Feng Xu is meeting the prince in front of the Dragon Boat Festival Gate. If the Dragon Boat Festival Gate cannot be opened, and they break into the Qing Palace without a name, this matter will not be able to be done.

The fire in the East Palace was soaring into the sky, and even the imperial guards outside the Qianqing Palace were watching, but they were not ordered not to act rashly, they just looked around, and had no intention of running to put out the fire.

Su Mingyue and Wang Wanyan were extremely anxious. Seeing that some people in the imperial hospital bowed inward and retreated out, the Qianqing palace was already crying, and some eunuchs who had reported to the palaces came out, and the imperial guards outside the door just got the news , looked at each other for a while, and then knelt down to the emperor inside the gate.

The inspector of ceremonies cried and shouted, "The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead!" Then he ordered the palace staff to go to the warehouse to prepare coffins, funeral clothes, paper money, and other items necessary for a state funeral.The emperor died, and the whole country mourned. She thought that when all this came, she and her could be completely freed, but only now did she realize that there were more conspiracies ahead, difficulties and obstacles, life and death awaited them.

"Why haven't you come yet? Could it be that you can't come in?" Wang Wanyan's words made Su Mingyue even more upset. Remind the emperor's trusted ministers widely.

Who is the one?The chief minister of the cabinet?One of the six parts and nine ministers?Commander of Ouchi Guard Battalion?

They read the imperial decree, which said that the throne should be passed on to someone—certainly not King Yan.Liang Guanjing got up angrily and reprimanded, and reasoned with the ministers, Fu Minghui came out to persuade him.Then what?

Why no one came out? !

Su Mingyue clenched the firecracker tightly in her hand, and suddenly, in the blink of an eye, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in her head.

Yes, someone in the palace will have to be buried!Why did you ask Liang Guanjing to come to the imperial court alone?Why wasn't she allowed to take the maid with her? !

Kill the mother and set up the son!

It may or may not be Yun Yun who takes the position, but Han Chengjue will definitely kill Liang Guanjing!

Can't wait!

"Let's go!" Su Mingyue shouted in a low voice, and took a step forward. She knew that after taking this step forward, she would never be able to turn back.

Wang Wanyan followed without hesitation, Lianxiangxiyu also followed, and the confidantes and eunuchs of the two palaces of Jianzhang Ruhui also followed.

There were no more than a dozen of them in total, and less than ten firecrackers in their hands. They were so weak that they were almost single-handed.

There is no other way, life and death are at stake here.

Zhao Huaijin saw them almost immediately, he looked nervous, he didn't know what it meant that Mrs. Rong Guo and Mrs. Han came straight to Qianqing Palace with such despondent expressions.

Su Mingyue came over, but didn't kneel down, just looked inside the Qianqing Palace, and said, "The emperor has done a great job?"

Zhao Huaijin nodded, and softly said to Mrs. Rong Guo beside her, "What are you doing here?"

Su Mingyue said with displeasure on her face: "The East Palace is on fire, why don't you go to save it?"

Zhao Huaijin was silent, because of his duty, his task was to guard the outside of the Qianqing Palace, and no matter how he looked at it, it was a bit like a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, especially when he saw that Su Mingyue and others were wrapping things in silk cloth, he knew it was a murder weapon at a glance.Not only he saw it, but also the imperial guards behind him, it was just the two delicate wives and a few palace maids and eunuchs, they felt that there was no need to go to war.

Zhao Huaijin said: "There is no one in the East Palace, no one will be killed anyway, if it is burned, it will be burned, and it will be regarded as seeing the emperor off."

"After a while, the fire will spread. It's going to be a big mess. The imperial city was on fire for more than a month during the Seven Kings Rebellion." Su Mingyue lured him again.

Zhao Huaijin still didn't move, and continued to kneel facing the Qianqing Palace.

"Lord Zhao, we want to go in and see the emperor for the last time, okay?" Su Mingyue begged softly.

Zhao Huaijin shook her head, "No one can trespass without Master Fu's order."

Wang Wanyan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she suddenly tore off the silk cloth and used a firecracker to hold the back of Zhao Huaijin's head, "Don't move! Let's go in and see the emperor."

The guards were in an uproar, and someone immediately wanted to jump up and grab Wang Wanyan. Zhao Huaijin said: "Everyone, don't act rashly. The two ladies miss the emperor very much, and they are eager to see the emperor for the last time. It is understandable." Wang Wanyan hijacked and leaned towards the palace gate.

The gate of Qianqing palace was wide open at this time, and the maids and eunuchs at the gate were shocked when they saw this scene, and the supervisor of ceremonies exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, what are you going to do! The emperor is dead, you are so noisy like What's it like?"

"Get out of the way, we want to see the emperor!" Su Mingyue shouted.

Zhao Huaijin made a sudden move, but Wang Wanyan was countered by a dexterous grasping hand. He gritted his teeth next to his ear and whispered, "What nonsense?"

"Stop!" a voice said loudly.

Everyone was attracted by the voice, Su Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, Han Yunmin stepped forward from the darkness, a guard lit a torch for him, as if he came from the fire of the Eastern Palace.Su Mingyue also saw Liang Qingyu, Feng Xu and several guards of the Liang Manor following him, she knew that there was hope!

"See Your Highness!" Su Mingyao hurriedly pulled Wang Wanyan to her knees.

Seeing Han Yunyan, the imperial guards got up just now to grab Su Mingyue and the others, so they had no choice but to kneel down, "See His Highness King Yan."

"What is His Royal Highness King Yan? This is the prince!" Liang Qingyu yelled, "It's only right and proper for the emperor to help the spirit to lift the coffin, who of you would dare to stop him!"

When he shouted like this, Han Yunyan really followed up and shouted: "Father, my son has come to see you, my son is not filial!"

At this time, the concubines from various palaces and the sleepy-eyed princes and princesses also arrived one after another, and it would be inappropriate to stop them.

Han Yunwei took the lead to step up the steps, followed by Su Mingyue and Wang Wanyan. Entering the hall, what came into view were the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling all over the floor and some imperial physicians waiting on the spot. Zhao Cairen saw that they were the two wives, and also He just lowered his head without speaking, pretending as if he didn't see it.Su Mingyue couldn't wait any longer, so she rushed forward and pushed Han Yunyan away to enter the bedroom.I saw more than a dozen imperial guards surrounding a person in a mess, Fu Minghui was wiping his face with his sleeves, Ge Zhongliang turned his back to the door, and white silk wrapped his hands, trying to strangle the person on his chest.

Su Mingyue didn't even think about it, she raised her hand and raised the firecracker, then pulled the mechanism.

The back of Ge Zhongliang's head exploded immediately, and he fell limply.Su Mingyue rushed forward to push away Liang Guanjing's corpse, and pulled the white silk wrapped around his hands. She didn't dare to look at Liang Guanjing's face, for fear that she would die of anger.The more anxious you are, the more flustered you are, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!Feng Xu came to help, and the result was even more chaotic.

Wang Wanyan leaned over, and while raising her firecracker to face Fu Minghui, she carefully kept a distance, for fear of being countered again like just now.Seeing that Liang Guanjing's face was blue and purple under the corpse, she was no longer angry, and she almost collapsed, "Tear off the cloth belt around her neck first, idiot!"

Su Mingyue had pulled it earlier, but for some reason, the tight white silk seemed to not loosen no matter how much she pulled it.Finally unwinding round and round, she tore off Liang Guanjing's collar and slapped her face.

"Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan! Wake up, wake up!"

Liang Guanjing suddenly twitched, gasped for cold air, and let out a sharp howl from his throat, followed by a frenzied cough, his chest hurt as if it had exploded, and his whole head was dizzy.

Su Mingyue was overjoyed, and suddenly hugged her and burst into tears.

Fu Minghui's eyes froze, and he was about to pounce on the killer with all his strength.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and Wang Wanyan pulled the trigger without hesitation. This time, the distance was extremely close, almost touching her chest. Originally, a top expert like Fu Minghui could avoid it, but he lost his usual calmness and self-control. At this time, he only stared at Liang Guanjing, and wanted to put Liang Guanjing to death in accordance with the will.In just one thought, Liang Guanjing couldn't die, but he died first.

Once Fu Minghui died, the other imperial guards looked at the few people who broke into the emperor's bedroom as if they were on the verge of a formidable enemy. Lianxiang and the others had only a few firecrackers facing them. Surviving guards can counter them.

"Stop it!" Liang Guanjing coughed so much that her lungs were about to cough up blood, she suppressed the discomfort in her chest and head, stood up with Su Mingyue's support, and looked coldly at the few imperial guards.

"Fu Minghui and Ge Zhongliang devoted themselves to their duties and served the imperial court. Aijia gave them a great service and made them officials. Do you also want to follow their example?"

The guards looked at each other, and under their feet were Ge Zhongliang's brain-cracked corpse and Fu Minghui's struggling and dying flesh and blood.

Liang Guanjing coughed violently again. She grabbed Fu Minghui's neck and forced him to raise his head to face her, "Master Fu, did you just hear the last words the emperor said to me?"

Fu Minghui coughed a few times, and blood spurted out of his mouth, of course he heard it.

"The emperor said, it's up to me next, he knows I can't die, don't you understand?"

Fu Minghui closed his eyes in pain.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to accompany the emperor for Ai's family? Ai's family will bury you beside him and stay with him forever." She looked at him, expressing everything with her eyes.

Fu Minghui, an iron-blooded man, actually had tears in his eyes at this moment.

"You can go at ease." She pushed him away, and Fu Minghui really stopped struggling and died immediately.

Liang Guanjing fell backward again, Su Mingyue, Wang Wanyan and Han Yunyan supported her together, she lowered her head and wanted to look up at the remaining imperial guards in the room, but she really had no strength left.

"Zhao Huaijin! Where is Zhao Huaijin?!" Wang Wanyan ran to the door and shouted.

Zhao Huaijin rushed to the inner court immediately, and Wang Wanyan told him the good news quietly, "Master Fu Minghui is overwhelmed with grief, and he asks himself to die for the emperor, and Liang Houyi orders him to be buried in the imperial tomb."

Zhao Huaijin stared at the two corpses on the ground in astonishment, dumbstruck with fright.

Wang Wanyan leaned close to his ear, "You are the Commander-in-Chief now, hurry up and tell them to stop!"

Zhao Huaijin looked at the remaining guards, not sure what happened here just now.

Liang Guanjing bit Su Mingyue's ear and said in a low voice, "The call was made just now, and it is his younger brother King Qi who ascended the throne."

Su Mingyue also looked puzzled, wondering which of Han Yun's younger brothers was awarded the title of King of Qi.

"'His' younger brother, King Qi."

Su Mingyue was shocked, and turned her head to look at Liang Guanjing who had a sad face in disbelief.

"Everyone who hears the summons will be killed...not a single one will be left behind." Before her face recovered, she was hit hard on the back of the head, and she was severely suffocated just now. She seemed to get up from the underworld, and passed out after speaking.
