When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

Fan Hu and his subordinates, the Jingji Guards, were shocked, as if they had seen a ghost in the open sky.

Didn't they say that the princess was assassinated? How could she appear here?

This... is this a conspiracy?

"I am in charge of the Jingji Guards. Before leaving the imperial capital, I also ordered the Jingji Guards to train well, guard the imperial city, and do their own work." Yan Li's eyes slowly swept around, and the cold pressure in his eyes shocked everyone present. "It's morning now, and the city gate has been open for less than an hour. Why are you closing the city gate again?"

Fan Hu knelt down with weak legs: "Your humble servant... Your humble servant..."

"Report to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" General Xuan said loudly, "Recently, due to the palace The situation is special. The traitors have controlled the emperor and the queen. These Jingji guards are patrolling the nine cities under the orders of their superiors to protect the safety of the nobles and the people in the imperial city. They are fulfilling their duties. They are worried that the bandits will sneak into the imperial city and cooperate with the traitors in the palace to do something unfavorable to the emperor and the queen. I hope the princess will be clear. "

Fan Xiaohu was stunned. He didn't expect that General Xuan would excuse them and say that their behavior of joining the eighth prince was to guard the imperial city.

Is he really thinking so, or...

A Hou Hu responded quickly and nodded: "Yes! I and others are here to prevent bandits from sneaking in. Deputy Commander Wang ordered me and Fan Hu to take turns patrolling. We must not let any suspicious person out of the city, nor let any dangerous person sneak into the imperial city. Please be careful, Your Highness the Princess!"

As soon as these words came out, the Jingji Guards under his command echoed and changed sides: "Hou Hu is right! The capital has just received news that Her Highness the Princess was assassinated, and there are people in the palace with bad intentions. We are following the orders of Deputy Commander Wang to strictly guard the city gates, and we did not do anything. Why did you disobey the order? Please, Princess, please understand!"

"Please, Princess, please understand!"

The surviving guards of the capital dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground: "Welcome the princess back to the city safely! Welcome the princess back to the city!"

"Quick! Go back to the palace and report to the emperor, and say that the princess is back safely! The emperor and the queen must be very happy-"

"No need." Yan Li interrupted the excited shout coldly, "The people under Hou Yuhu and Fan Yuhu, retreat outside the city gate."

Fan Yuhu and Hou Yuhu's faces changed, and they looked at each other uneasily.

"Didn't you hear what the princess said?" At the city gate, Qin Shiyuan raised his bow and arrow, pointing directly at Fan Yuhu's eyebrows, "Retreat!"

On the tower, the archers aimed at the two soldiers under Yuhu.

The man's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and ordered: "The princess ordered everyone to retreat outside the city gate!"

Under the threat of dense archers, the two households led more than a dozen of their men to retreat from the city gate one after another.

"Close the city gate." Yan Li sat high on the horse and ordered coldly, "General Fang, General Li, follow me into the palace immediately to protect the emperor and save the emperor!"

A shocking voice sounded behind him: "Yes!"

"Yang Yi, you take your men to guard this place. If there are suspicious people, kill them if they should, and capture them if they should."

"Yes."

"Qin Shiyuan, Chen Qingfeng, you take your men and follow me--"

Before the voice fell, a cold light shot from the side, facing Yan Li's direction.

Chen Qingfeng's face changed drastically: "Princess, be careful!"

"Princess!"

At the moment of the attack, a black shadow passed by like a ghost, not only catching the handle of the hidden weapon with bare hands, but also throwing it back, and the hidden weapon shot in the direction of the flying direction.

Bang!

A figure in the crowd fell on his back.

Yan Li sat on the horse's back, looked at the man without any expression, his expression changed slightly, and his voice was indifferent and ruthless: "Deal with it."

As soon as the order came out, someone came out quickly and carried the body away.

"Your Highness the Princess." General Xuan stood up and bowed to Yan Li, "I will go back to the palace first."

Yan Li nodded, and naturally knew what she was going to do by returning to the palace early.

According to the news she had received before, Xuan Nanfeng had been staying in the palace to control the situation these days, in order to prevent Concubine De and Yan Yun from doing irrational things.

Although the Imperial Guards could not confront the Jingji Guards directly, they could protect the palace. Yan Yun did not dare to risk everything without full confidence - although his behavior was, in a sense, a risky behavior.

But regicide is a serious crime, which is condemned by historians, and it is impossible for the people of the world to tolerate it.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Yan Yun does not have the courage to kill the king and his father.

With Yan Li's consent, General Xuan quickly got on his horse and galloped to the outside of the palace gate with a few personal soldiers.

The person on duty at the palace gate wanted to check, and he coldly scolded: "I have a very urgent matter to tell the emperor, all of you get out of the way!"

A very urgent matter?

"General Xuan, what urgent matter do you have at this hour?" Yan Yun walked over, his eyes full of defense, "It's the same with me."

General Xuan's face was cold: "The private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion heard the news of the Princess' assassination and insisted on leaving the city, but the Jingji Guards at the city gate stopped them from going out. The situation is tense now. If you are not careful, there will be countless casualties. I must report to the emperor immediately."

Yan Yun frowned. He had just heard about the private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion leaving the city, and he also expected that the Jingji Guards would not let them go. He originally thought that he didn't need to pay attention to it.

However, when General Xuan said this, he couldn't help but feel cautious.

If the three private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion were impulsive because of Yan Li's assassination, and had a tough attitude and insisted on breaking out, and the Jingji Guards had to stop them, I'm afraid that the two sides would really turn into a bloody fight.

Yan Yun looked gloomy: "I will go and see it myself."

"Is the Eighth Prince planning to let us out of the city?" General Xuan asked coldly, "If you are willing to let us out of the city, just send a trustworthy person to convey the order. If you are not willing to let us out, what is the use of the Eighth Prince going? The three elite soldiers of the Princess's Mansion will not listen to you, nor will they listen to me."

Yan Yun's face suddenly sank when he heard this.

Thinking of Yan Li's stubborn temper and the group of stubborn private soldiers he raised, Yan Yun couldn't help but feel resentful.

When he ascends the throne, the first thing he will get rid of is those private soldiers who disrespect the emperor!

"Please get out of the way immediately, Eighth Prince." General Xuan was firm and would not tolerate rejection. "If irreparable damage is caused, the Eighth Prince may not be able to bear the consequences."

Yan Yun said gloomily: "General Xuan, are you trying to scare me?"

"Isn't the Eighth Prince doing this for the throne?" General Xuan's eyebrows were majestic and stern, and his oppression was strong and compelling. "It can be said that the royal army is killing each other, the Jingji Guards and the Imperial Guards are against each other, and even forced the private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion to kill and blood flow. I'm afraid the Eighth Prince can't clean up this mess!"

Every word was like thunder and drums, which made Yan Yun unable to refute, and his face turned pale.

After a long time, Yan Yun took a step back coldly: "Make way for General Xuan."

General Xuan had a cold face and rode in. He arrived directly at the inner city gate and turned down, then walked quickly towards the direction of the Qinzheng Palace.

Yan Yun stared at the departing figure with a heavy look in his eyes. He slowly clenched his hands hanging at his sides, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
