Step on a branch

Chapter 409 The Palace Door Is Closed
The situation after revealing his secret was similar to Concubine Shu's imagination.

The empress dowager was furious, and instantly pointed the signs of suspicion at her, and in her "panic" and "mocking", she guessed that it was the eldest princess.

But this does not mean that the Empress Dowager will release the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Shu knows the Empress Dowager very well.

This person is cruel and ruthless, and he will either not make a move, pretending to be a kind old lady all day long, harmless to humans and animals, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go if he makes a move.

Therefore, Concubine Shu smashed and lifted everything that could be smashed and lifted.

The bigger the movement, the more chaotic the situation, the better for her.

The empress dowager cannot be calmed down.

Once he settled down, with the ability of the Empress Dowager, he could immediately guess that she and Empress Cheng joined forces.

After muddying the water, Concubine Shu escaped from the palace.

She didn't want to die, not at all.

These days, she has done a lot of things, but she can only hide them in her stomach.

In fact, she wanted to ask someone for credit.

Tell the eldest princess that I have lived up to her upbringing.

Then go brag with that girl from the Qin family.

With so many interesting things, how could she want to die here?
Before Wang Gonggong and others blocked her, Concubine Shu escaped from the hall and came to the courtyard, but she dared not run away.

Concubine Shu was relieved when she saw that the prince led people to chase him out and the empress dowager was also behind.

Empress Cheng was out of danger.

With so many people chasing her, there are only a few people left inside. Even if Empress Cheng and Nanny Zhong don't know how to kung fu, they can knock away one or two maids with strength. Besides, there is still Guard Li.

Seeing that the prince was about to catch up with her, Concubine Shu rushed out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning without looking back.

The Empress Dowager looked in the direction where Concubine Shu was leaving, her eyes were filled with anger.

Concubine Shu ran really fast.

It was the first time she knew that Concubine Shu could move so fast.

Compared with Concubine Shu who walked slowly in the past, even slower than an old woman like her, she was a different person.

How many things did she not know about Concubine Shu?

How much of the concubine Shu she knew and contacted was real?
Mother Xia said: "The prince moves fast, and he will be able to catch her soon!"

At the same time, in the Golden Luan Hall, needles could be heard falling.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, and Eunuch Ji was standing beside him. There were a lot of civil and military ministers below, but there was no movement at all.

It was as if each one of them couldn't breathe anymore.

All the emperor could hear was his own heavy breathing.

This morning, not long after the start of the court, a servant came to report that the rebels were attacking from the west and south.

Being surrounded by a city, sooner or later they will fight, this is the first time, and it won't be the last time.

The emperor heard Uncle Zhongqin talk about the strategy of the battle, he was only a little nervous, but not flustered, Uncle Zhongqin was fully capable of defending the city.

The court meeting continued, and although there were a few unsightly censors who wanted to say something about Lin Fan, they were blocked by Huang Taishi.

Until, the servant came to report again.

This time, the servant obviously couldn't even walk smoothly.

Rolled into the Golden Luan Hall like shit, and said, "The city gate fell, and the rebels attacked the palace gate."

A sharp and trembling voice lingered in the hall, piercing and booming.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. After a brief silence, there were many discussions, which were extremely noisy.

Some people panicked, some were at a loss, some scolded the rebels, and some wanted to see the will for themselves.

The emperor looked at all kinds of people below, but did not speak.

Gradually, Xu Shi realized that the current emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair, and the people below also shut up one after another.

The sound became less and less, and became softer until now.

It was as quiet as walking into a cemetery.

The emperor held the faucet on the armrest tightly with both hands. Why did Uncle Zhongqin fail?

Obviously speaking clearly in the imperial study, and issuing military orders in front of the courtiers, full of confidence and courage, why did he lose so quickly?

A thought popped up in an instant.

betray!

There are traitors among the defenders.

Someone opened the city gate and let Qin Yin and Lin Fan into the city.

Only in this way can they cross the city wall in a short time.

However, even if they entered the city, the defenders should have confronted the enemy head-on and fought street fighting.

The results are obvious.

There was no street fighting, no confrontation, so Lin Fan was able to dispatch all his forces to attack the imperial city immediately.

Can make all soldiers put down their weapons...

Uncle Zhongqin!
It could only be Uncle Zhongqin!
Thinking of this, the emperor's throat ached, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Is Uncle Zhongqin crazy?
He is Concubine Shun's father and Qi'er's grandfather, how could he betray?

"My lords," the emperor forced out his voice word by word, "who can guard the palace?"

The emperor's words broke the silence in the hall, but it was still very quiet underneath.

An Beihou stood in the queue without raising his head.

Earlier, the emperor didn't let him guard the city, he understood, and he was relieved at the same time.

It's a dilemma if you really take the lead.

There was no need to guard the palace at that time, and there is no need to guard the palace now.

The outcome has been decided.

On the side, Feng Zhong was rather tangled.

After thinking and thinking, he finally took a step forward and said: "Excuse me bluntly, now is the time for the battle, and if you order generals to take over the defense of the imperial city, it will not only be too late, but also cause chaos. It's better..."

"It's better to surrender?" The emperor interrupted Feng Zhong, furious, "I can see that you, all of you, are waiting for the country to change hands!"

After saying this, Feng Zhong had no choice but to kneel down first.

After all, a nod is not, and neither is no nod.

There is no way to explain these words, it is better to kneel down and shout "calm down".

One person knelt, and the rest were not stupid. They followed suit, and the entire Golden Luan Hall knelt down in a hurry.

Fan Taibao didn't move, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, and he didn't say a word.

Grand Master Huang glanced at him quietly, and groaned inwardly.

Did not expect ah.

Fan Taibao has hidden deep enough.

In the end, there was another Zhongqin Bo, who hid deeper than Fan Taibao.

Without further questioning, Grand Master Huang knew that Uncle Zhongqin had contributed a lot to the army's smooth entry into the city.

That's fine too.

To avoid a stalemate between the two parties, there will be troubles for nothing.

The transition has to be smooth and fast.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Taishi Huang caught a glimpse of the emperor leaning over and said something to Eunuch Ji in a low voice.

Soon, Eunuch Ji came down, bowed his head and quickly walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.

It looks like he went to inquire about the situation of the battle at the palace gate, but...

Just indistinctly, a trace of strangeness and uneasiness slipped through Taishi Huang's heart.

This feeling was very sudden and strong, Grand Master Huang quickly organized his thoughts, and then he suddenly understood.

"Stay against the door!" He yelled desperately, "Stay against the window!"

The old master's voice trembled violently.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the sound.

The incident happened suddenly, and most of the people didn't react. Only generals like An Beihou and Feng Zhong rushed over when they heard the order.

Boom!
It's just that it's a step late.

The temple door was closed.

　See you tomorrow, book friends~~
