No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 289 Listening to politics behind a curtain?

The three of Luo Junyao were on the roof opposite to the courtyard, and they were not affected by the sudden explosion, but after all, the straight-line distance was only about ten feet away, and their ears were still ringing from the continuous loud noises.

Luo Junyao only had time to think: Fortunately, explosives are not very powerful in this era, otherwise I would have to confess here tonight.At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled back Qin Yao'er who was so frightened that he almost fell out.

Qin Yao'er patted her heart in shock and said, "Princess, what's going on?!"

Luo Junyao had come to his senses, pressed his ear and said calmly: "The explosion, black powder and kerosene were buried in it."

Folding Ying's face is also rare and ugly. If he hadn't come out earlier, but was lost by the gold, silver and jewels like the people inside, he might also...

"Princess, why don't you leave here first? This place is too dangerous." Duoying said.Who knows if there will be another explosion here?

Luo Jun frowned and said: "Don't worry, that treasure house should not explode now."

Black gunpowder is not stable. After such a round, what should be exploded has long been exploded, and it is unlikely that there will be a second explosion inside.However, they probably won't be able to get in now.Looking at the billowing smoke in the opposite backyard and the looming fire in the smoke, I'm afraid that the entire treasure house has already ignited.

In the darkness of night, there was chaos.

There were wailing, cursing, and the sound of fighting.

Perhaps the sudden explosion finally awakened some people's sanity, or perhaps the fire inside was too great to do anything about it, and finally some people began to retreat from the courtyard.

"They're leaving!" Qin Yao'er said.

Luo Junyao also stood up, "If you don't retreat now, what are you waiting for? Let's go to Linglan and Wei Shizi, it's not that simple."

Wei Changting was also taken aback by the sudden explosion, and his expression turned ugly.

Seeing people running out from the yard in the distance, Wei Changting snorted softly to signal the people on one side to send a semaphore to the distance, "Everyone who runs out, take them down! If there is any resistance, shoot and kill!"

"Yes, my lord." A man in black standing at the window on the other side waved the command flag decisively, and issued an order to the soldiers of the Dingguo Army stationed in the darkness.

After a while, several fireworks of different colors rose from several directions, which was obviously the Ding Guojun general's reply to the order.

After Wei Changting finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, turned around and hurried downstairs.Ling Lan, who was sent by Luo Junyao earlier, also hurriedly followed, leaving only the dazed Prince of the Imperial City Mansion looking at the back of the two of them going downstairs, hesitating to speak.

After a while, he sighed helplessly: "What's going on this late at night."

Why did the good imperial city suddenly become a mess?He can even imagine the situation where the ministers of the DPRK and China will impeach him in the early court tomorrow.

Wei Changting went downstairs, walked out of the gate, looked at the man in black who was coming up, and asked, "Is there still no whereabouts of Qu Fang?"

The man in black shook his head, "Hui Shizi, no."

Wei Changting frowned. Is it just for fun that Yisi Luan made such a big commotion so close to the palace?
And Bai Jingrong was obviously also involved, but the two most important and dangerous people around Bai Jingrong suddenly disappeared, which made Wei Changting have to be vigilant.

"My lord is still fighting?" Wei Changting frowned.

The man in black was a little helpless, and said: "Besides Yu Chen and Qu Tiange, there are at least a dozen first-class masters on the lord's side."

Wei Changting couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, "Now that the city is in such a mess, why is he still in the mood to fight? What do you think!"

The man in black sighed: "Even if the prince doesn't want to, it's useless. Ordinary soldiers can't deal with so many masters at once. If they disperse or hide in the dark, it will only be more dangerous." The outskirts of Yimapingchuan, and even forested mountains.Once those top masters are mixed in, it is really not easy to catch them.Not to mention, once these people run around, what kind of impact will it have on ordinary people.

Wei Changting only felt a headache, but he also knew that Xie Yan could not be relied on now, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, let me think about it. There is the Luo family in the west of the city, General Yu is in the palace, and the Dingguo army can control it here." , except for those things that want to fish in troubled waters, it seems that there is no big deal. Then... what is Luanyi doing all this?"

It's messed up the imperial city tonight, but so what?
While Wei Changting was bowing his head in deep thought, Luo Junyao and the three quickly walked over from the other side of the street.

Before Wei Changting could speak, Luo Jun grabbed Wei Changting and asked, "Yu Mingqiu is the only one in the palace?"

Wei Changting was stunned for a moment, and said, "What?"

Luo Junyao said anxiously: "The people of Luan Yisi are in the palace!"

"What?" Even Crown Prince Wei was overwhelmed by the news for a moment, "How is this possible? Yu Mingqiu brought Ding Guojun's personal guards into the palace to guard."

Luo Junyao stomped his feet anxiously, "They didn't break into the palace, they were already in the palace!"

Hearing this, Wei Changting's face turned pale in an instant, "How did the princess know?"

There was a sound of orderly footsteps at the end of the street. Wei Changting looked up and saw Luo Jinyan walking quickly in uniform, followed by the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army.

Before the person approached, Luo Jinyan said in a deep voice: "I told her."

"Master Luo?" Wei Changting asked.

Luo Jinyan's brows, which seemed a little warm in the past, are now tinged with a bit of evil spirit and sharpness. Luo Jinyan nodded slightly and said: "I just got the news that the center of Luan Ceremony is in the palace."

Wei Changting didn't ask where the news came from, we can talk about it later, the most important thing right now is the situation in the palace.

"Is the news about Mr. Luo conclusive?" Wei Changting asked.

Luo Jinyan nodded, "I'm at least eighty percent sure." After saying that, he took out a token from his sleeve, and Wei Changting recognized it as a waist card for entering and leaving the harem.

Even though the Luo family is high and powerful, it is impossible for the Luo family, as a foreign minister, to have such a waist card that can enter and leave the palace at any time.Xie Yan did have it, but as long as he stood there, it was a natural pass, and no one would check his waist card, and this one was not Xie Yan's at all.

Luo Jinyan said: "This was seized from Mingyin Pavilion."

"Mingyin Pavilion?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Brother led people to raid Mingyin Pavilion, Xue Ya and the owner of Mingyin Pavilion led people away."

Luo Junyao was also a little surprised to meet Luo Jinyan who was supposed to be in the west of the city in Nanshi, but Luo Jinyan's dignified and solemn expression prevented them from communicating more, and just briefly explained what happened.

Not long after the commotion started on Nanshi's side, as expected, Mingyin Pavilion also started to make trouble.Luo Jinyan didn't want to do anything to ease the situation at all, and directly ordered the attack on Mingyin Pavilion.

It didn't take much time to take down Mingyin Pavilion. Although Mingyin Pavilion looked mighty at first, as if they were about to rush out of the west of the city, their real strength was totally different from what they showed.

It didn't take much time for the Wuwei Army to break into the Mingyin Pavilion.At that time, the upper floors of Mingyin Pavilion, Ru Xueya and others had already disappeared.Luo Jinyan immediately understood that they had been set up with an empty plan.It's just that the other party probably didn't expect that Luo Jinyan didn't want to sing with him at all, so he directly ordered to attack.

The real focus of Yisi Luan tonight is not Mingyin Pavilion at all. Luo Jinyan understood the key point when he found out that there was a badge for entering and exiting the palace in Mingyin Pavilion.

There are not many such badges for entering and leaving the court, and the management is extremely strict.Even the stewards in the palace apply for it before leaving the palace, and must return it immediately after returning to the palace.But this kind of token Mingyin Pavilion is not only this one, but all of them are real.

These people set fires everywhere tonight, causing chaos in the entire imperial city, all in order to cover up what they really wanted to do.As for the passage connecting the two underground palaces to the outside of the city, the underground palace has existed for so many years, the people who should be sent to the city may have already entered the city before they noticed Mingyin Pavilion.

Wei Changting took a deep breath, without saying a word, took out a signal fireworks from his sleeve and fired it into the sky.

With the sharp sound coming in the night sky, the fireworks exploded in the air to form a huge red token.

Wei Changting said in a deep voice: "Pass our military order, the soldiers and horses near the Liushang Pavilion will still follow the order, and the Mizi Battalion belongs to them, and they will rush to the palace immediately. The guards in the city will go to the eight gates of the palace separately. Send a letter to General Gu, let He pays attention outside the city!"

"Yes! General!" There were several voices that should have been heard in the dark, and someone left quickly in the night.

Wei Changting looked at Luo Jinyan and Luo Junyao, "Young Master Luo, the west side of the city..."

Luo Jinyan said: "The west of the city is fine, don't worry, Mr. Wei, General Gu Jue has already led people out of the city."

Wei Changting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Luo is here, and Gu Jue is not in the west of the city..."

Luo Jinyan said calmly: "The Wuwei Army has controlled the situation, and General Xu of the Wuwei Army is in charge. If there is still trouble, those people in the west of the city will not have to live."

Wei Changting nodded, "Mr. Luo said so, so I can rest assured. Now..."

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the imperial palace, because the entire imperial city had been awakened by the loud noises just now, but the direction of the imperial palace was still as quiet as before, and they could only see the towering jade dew in the distant night The platform is still standing in the night.

At this time, the palace was not as quiet as outsiders thought.Empress Dowager Zhu was suddenly awakened by several loud noises at night. Before she could figure out anything, she found that the palace had changed inexplicably.

Empress Dowager Zhu looked in shock at the handsome young man in white who was sitting elegantly in the hall, and was pushed over without politeness.

Empress Dowager Zhu staggered and fell to the ground, she raised her head and said angrily: "You guys are so courageous! Don't you want to live?!"

The one who pushed her just now was none other than her most trusted servants and maids.

The young man in white who was sitting on the main seat smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for waking up the Queen Mother at night." Queen Mother Zhu could naturally hear that there was no apology in his words.

She finally woke up completely and glanced at the entire hall.

There were not many people in the hall, among them were a few palace servants who had served her in the past, but at this moment their faces were not as respectful as before, and they just stood aside expressionlessly with their heads down, as if they didn't see her at this moment. the embarrassment.

There were also a few obviously strangers, all of whom were standing closest to the young man in white, looking at her with indifference, as if she was not the queen mother of a country, but just an ordinary woman.

There were two men and women sitting and standing next to each other. The man was sitting in a chair with his head down and his eyes closed. Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't see his expression.The woman looked at the man worriedly, ignoring what Empress Dowager Zhu meant.

"You... who are you?" Empress Dowager Zhu finally became a little scared.

The young man in white smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Empress Dowager, she is on the snowy cliff. We are here to help you."

Empress Dowager Zhu froze for a moment, vaguely feeling that the name Xueya sounded familiar.

After thinking for a moment, she remembered where she had heard the name before.A few days ago, people around her had told her about the Ruan family's affairs as a joke, and she really just took it as a joke at the time and let it go.

"You...you are the eldest son of the Ruan family? Did Prime Minister Ruan ask you to come?" Queen Mother Zhu said.

Xue Ya smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager can think so." After saying that, she winked at the person next to her, "Help the Empress Dowager up."

Normally, Empress Dowager Zhu would have been furious long ago, but now she also knows what it means to be stronger than others.

Being helped up without tenderness, Empress Dowager Zhu collected herself, looked at Xueya and said, "How did you get in? What do you want to do?" Xueya smiled and said, "I said, we are here to help you of."

Empress Dowager Zhu snorted lightly and said, "I am the empress dowager of a country, so I don't need your help."

Xue Ya raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Really? Queen Mother... the empress dowager, is the empress dowager living comfortably? How much power does the empress dowager have? I am afraid that in a few years, even your majesty will not take the empress dowager seriously." Are you in?"

Empress Dowager Zhu was silent, but her face was a little ugly.

Xue Ya smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to hide anything, I'm afraid no one knows better than me what your life is like in the palace. That's why I said... We are here to help you."

Empress Dowager Zhu looked at the court maid who was standing respectfully aside, she did not doubt Xue Ya's words at this time.Because she used to be the most useful confidant, the respect at this time is indeed for others.

"Who the hell are you?!" Empress Dowager Zhu gritted her teeth.

Xue Ya smiled and said, "The Director of Luan Ceremony of Dongling, Xue Ya."

As the daughter of an aristocratic family, Empress Dowager Zhu naturally knew the name Luan Yisi.But the Yisi Luan she knew was just a government office in Dongling Dynasty. No one had told her about Yu Ji and Yisi Luan back then, but she understood what the word Dongling represented.

"Do you want to restore the country?" The queen mother's eyes instantly became more vigilant. The reason why she is the queen mother is because her son is the emperor.If these people wanted to overthrow Dasheng and restore Dongling, it would not be called helping her anyway.

Xue Ya shook his head and said with a smile: "Tangling has been subjugated for decades, and the descendants of the Tangling royal family are incapable of degrading themselves. Why do we need outsiders to restore the country?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Queen Mother Zhu asked.

Xue Ya said: "Help the queen mother get rid of Xie Yan's control, let the queen mother become a real queen mother. Now your majesty is young, the empress dowager is critically ill, Xie Yan is just the first emperor's cousin, not even your majesty's real uncle, but delusional Isn't it absurd to force His Majesty to order the world? I can help the Empress Dowager and listen to the government behind the curtain."

"Why should I trust you?"

Xue Ya smiled and said, "I'm already sitting here, haven't I?"

Empress Dowager Zhu was shocked, the palace was heavily guarded, but these people were able to sneak into the palace silently.There are also those palace people who have obviously turned their backs. How many such people are there in the palace?

Empress Dowager Zhu felt a sense of fear in her heart. She looked at the impeccably handsome young man sitting in the palace, "What did you guys do to Zhifei?"

Xue Ya seemed to have heard something funny, chuckled lightly and said: "Zhifei? The queen mother is talking about the regent Xie Yan? It's hard to say whether he... can survive tonight."
