……

After the announcement, Aunt Gongsun divided the "thirteen beauties in neon clothes" into six groups to protect the king of Chu and other princes respectively, while she personally took Princess Qingluan to protect Suzong.

"Thirteen hairpins in neon clothes" quickly changed their clothes, pretending to be an ordinary court lady, and followed Princess Qingluan to the Daming Palace.

Princess Qingluan came to the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace and reported to Li Fuguo, the supervisor of the palace, that the remnants of the rebel army were waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Suzong.

Li Fuguo was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to lead Princess Qingluan and Aunt Gongsun to meet His Majesty, and the rest of the palace guards brought "thirteen hairpins in neon clothes" to protect the princes.

As soon as Princess Qingluan left, Li Fuguo hurriedly transferred the left and right Shenwu troops into Taiming Palace to escort her.

Princess Qingluan cared about her father's safety, and before waiting for the arrival of the Shenwu Army, she went to the Zichen Palace where Suzong was located.At this time, Su Zong was drinking and having fun with Zhang Shufei and other concubines.

When Huihe retreated, Suzong heaved a sigh of relief, and he drank happily on happy occasions.

Seeing Princess Qingluan and Aunt Gongsun, Suzong was quite surprised.Princess Qingluan hurriedly reported to Suzong that the puppet Yan assassins tried to assassinate the emperor.Suzong was shocked and hurriedly asked for details.

Princess Qingluan didn't know much about it, so she didn't speak very clearly.Suzong ordered Aunt Gongsun to come forward and report.Aunt Gongsun walked up to her and repeated it.When it comes to key points, keep your voice down.

Suzong didn't hear it very clearly, he couldn't help leaning forward, the two of them were only a foot away.At this moment, Aunt Gongsun suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin from her temples and stabbed Suzong's throat.

The incident happened suddenly, Suzong stood on the spot in a daze.

At the critical moment, Concubine Zhang Shu pushed Suzong and stood in front of Suzong herself.The golden hairpin was like a sharp knife, piercing Concubine Zhang Shu's chest.Concubine Zhang Shu screamed and fell down on the wooden couch.

The assassination happened suddenly and without warning.The left and right imperial guards were caught off guard, unexpected.Princess Qingluan didn't know what to do at first, but she reacted instantly, and danced the green bamboo stick in her hand to form a bamboo wall, sealing Aunt Gongsun's attack route and protecting Suzong in front of her.

Only then did the imperial guards come to their senses, rushing towards Aunt Gongsun like a wolf like a tiger.

Elder Sister Gongsun missed a single blow, she stopped entanglement, and flew onto the house with a little tiptoe.She tore off the pearl necklace on her chest, and with a wave of her hand, the pearl was like a hidden weapon, shooting down the invisible guards on the eaves of the temple.

Aunt Gongsun took advantage of the chaos and walked away, her body was like a flying swallow, she went up and down several times, and disappeared into the vast palace.

"Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu!"

Suzong hugged Concubine Zhang Shu, who was lying in a pool of blood, and shouted: "Tell the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician arrived quickly, took out the Jinchuang medicine, and applied it to the wound.The blood stopped quickly.Only then did the imperial physician take care of wiping the sweat off his forehead.After taking the pulse, the imperial physician said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is fine. Your Majesty is blessed in the sky. If the golden hairpin is an inch more to the right, it will pierce into the heart and kill you on the spot. It's really lucky, lucky!"

Only then did Suzong feel relieved.After rewarding the imperial physician, Suzong shouted to the left and right: "The Gongsun family intends to rebel, and I will send his henchmen to me. If there is any resistance, I will kill it!"

Princess Qingluan stopped Suzong desperately, and said anxiously: "Father, no! They are my master and senior sister, and it is impossible for them to commit treasonous things! Father, please be careful!"

Suzong's face darkened, and he shouted: "Nonsense!" and walked away.

The "thirteen beauties in neon clothes" are all highly skilled in martial arts. After being surrounded by the left and right martial arts troops, their almond eyes widened, intending to break out.

Senior Sister Yueyue was in a hurry and shouted: "Junior Sisters, don't resist. Once you resist arrest and escape, you will be charged with treason, and you will never be able to clear it up in the future."

Although the sisters were unwilling, but there was no other way to break it, so they were caught without a fight.

Aunt Gongsun's assassination of the emperor shocked the government and the public, and the imperial court issued a document of arrest at sea to arrest Aunt Gongsun.

Three days later, Aunt Gongsun voluntarily surrendered.Suzong ordered the three divisions to interrogate, and if the charges were true, all Liyuan colleagues who were related to Aunt Gongsun would be executed.

During the interrogation by the three divisions, Aunt Gongsun insisted that this matter was done by herself alone and had nothing to do with the disciples.As for why Aunt Gongsun wanted to assassinate Suzong?No matter how severe the torture, Aunt Gongsun kept silent.

Trials by the three courts came and went, but they did not find any clues of treason, so they had to report the truth.

Suzong was furious, terminated the trial of the case, and ordered Aunt Gongsun and the "thirteen beauties in neon clothes" to be put in prison. Ten days later, they were executed under the willow tree in the northeast corner of Chang'an West City.

……

On the night when the imperial decree was promulgated, a man in a cloak came to the prison and showed the gold medal in his hand.After seeing the gold medal, the head of the cell respectfully led this person into the sky prison and sent him to the place where "thirteen beauties in neon clothes" were imprisoned.

Seeing "thirteen beauties in neon clothes", the person who came opened the cloak, and it was Princess Qingluan.Princess Qingluan threw herself into the arms of elder sister Langyue, tears streaming down her face like rain.

Hong Hom hurriedly asked: "Have you seen Master? How is her old man doing?"

Princess Qingluan shook her head and cried: "My father forbids me to see Master. I don't believe Master would assassinate Father. If she had had a grudge against Father, Ma Weipo would not have gone north with Father to Lingwu."

Ruo Ling and others said: "We don't believe that Master will do something against you. But Master, the old man, keeps silent and doesn't defend himself. He is really anxious to death."

"Qingluan, go and persuade Master, Master loves you the most on weekdays. If it's really treason, all our sisters will admit it, and die without regret. But Master is not such a person, there must be something important hidden in this! No matter how dead the truth is, we will not be wronged!" said the thirteenth sister Bai Luo.

Yuanyue looked at the sisters and said slowly: "Sisters, we are all orphans living on the streets. We could not escape the fate of starvation and cold death. I was lucky to meet Master, be raised by Master, eat and wear warm, and learn all kinds of skills. , became famous all over the world.

Master does not defend himself, and he has his own unspeakable secrets.Even if our sisters had nothing to do with the conspiracy, we were sent to prison unjustly.But today Master is in trouble, how can we live alone? !

If so, why don't we sisters go to the execution ground with Master, and walk together on the road to Huangquan, and it will not be in vain for Master's kindness in nurturing. "

As soon as this remark came out, all the sisters stopped talking, looked at each other, held each other's wrists, and smiled gratifyingly on their faces.Eldest Sister is right, returning west with Master and going to death calmly is also a pleasure!

Liangyue stroked Qingluan's beautiful hair with her shackled hands, and said with a light smile, "Qingluan, after the sisters leave, take care of yourself!

During the holidays, remember to visit Master's grave.Put some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and plum wine in front of the grave, the master likes to eat your sweet-scented osmanthus cakes..."

Qingluan lay in Yuanyue's arms, crying loudly.

……

Coming out of the dungeon, it rained heavily.

Qingluan rode his horse and galloped, as if to punish himself, pulled off his cloak, and let the raindrops hit his face like drums.

Helpless, deeply helpless.

Qingluan knew that his father would never give up when he was furious.

If he can't find out the details of the case, even if he threatens him with death, at most the emperor can spare all the senior sisters, but he will never let the master go.

Thinking of Master's care and love for her for so many years, Qingluan's heart is bleeding...

At the end of the long street, a flash of lightning descended from the sky, like a green dragon with its claws waving.

With a "click", thunder exploded above Qingluan's head.

Qingluan was taken aback by fright, and suddenly, Mao Sai understood.

"Only he, only he can save Master!" Qingluan pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and slapped the whip hard on the horse's buttocks.

The horse suffered pain, neighed "Di Liu Liu", all four hooves flew into the air, and accelerated the gallop. Wherever it went, the puddles of water splashed...

　I am also wandering for a long time!In the past ten years, I have exhausted my deep kindness, and I have been a teacher and friend in life and death.Su Xi's same name is not the same as stealing. I only see that Du Ling has lost weight and never lost weight.Never hate, cut it for the king.

　　My brother gave birth to Xin Wei Wu Ding Chou, and at this time, the frost was broken, and the pu willows were prematurely aging.Poetry and Fu must be written less from now on, and keep the soul together.I hope, Heqing Life Insurance!Returning to the sun, I hurriedly flipped through the manuscripts, and passed on the empty name dishes to my back.Can't say enough, Guan paused.
