No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 294 Conspiracy?
Xie Yan's sudden appearance, even without doing anything, seemed to have reversed the situation in front of him.

The originally noisy fighting outside seemed to have gone away at this moment, and the man suspected to be Qu Fang looked silently at Xie Yan who suddenly appeared.

Xie Yan said calmly: "This king has already given face to Mobei Excalibur."

Qu Fang remained silent, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't want to admit it? That's fine, either you can leave here if you win this king, or you can die here, otherwise...I'm afraid Bai Jingrong will have to stay in Shangyong to wait for Ji Zhan Come to redeem."

The man on the opposite side was still silent, making Yu Mingqiu in the back vaguely suspicious. Is this man really Qu Fang?

But this suspicion quickly disappeared. Even if he was injured, who else could make him so embarrassed in such a short period of time, except Qu Fang?

Hearing Bai Jingrong's name, the exposed eyes of the man in black flashed slightly.

With a frightened sword in his hand, he flew and stabbed at Xie Yan again.

Xie Yan snorted lightly, and said to Yu Mingqiu who was behind him, "Stay away."

Needless to say, Yu Mingqiu didn't intend to meddle in it either, he is now injured and going up at this time would be courting death.

Yu Ming Qiufei got off the roof, and Xi Ying, who came out of nowhere, immediately reached out to support him, "General, are you alright?"

Yu Mingqiu reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips, "What do you think?"

Xi Ying said: "My lord was not very happy about the fact that you were injured in the fight with Wang Fan before." With Yu Mingqiu's strength, it is obvious that he was injured like that when he fought with Wang Fan.

Yu Mingqiu couldn't help rolling his eyes, "How did I know that Xie Yan was going to do so many things?" He just came back and encountered so many things, and he hasn't complained yet.

While the two were talking, the two figures on the roof were already fighting.

Both of them use swords, their sword energy is vertical and horizontal, and they are invincible.

Bursts of strong sword energy lifted the glazed tiles on the roof, almost hitting the heads and faces of the people underneath.

If it weren't for the special situation now, many people present might want to stare at the two of them intently.But at this time...

Yu Mingqiu glanced at the man in black who was still in the courtyard, with a sneer on his lips, and ordered: "Kill!"

In the Palace of Empress Dowager Zhu

"Xie Yan is here!" Hearing his subordinate's report, Xue Ya stood up from his seat.

Not only him, Empress Dowager Zhu's complexion became more and more difficult to look at, and her eyes were full of hatred and anger when she looked at Xue Ya.

Xue Ya glanced at her sideways, and said lightly: "It has come to this point, does the Queen Mother want to change course? Don't forget... Even if I lose, you can't please. Guess how Xie Yan will deal with you?"

Empress Dowager Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "I am Your Majesty's biological mother!" Based on this alone, Xie Yan would not kill her.

"Naive." Xue Ya laughed and said, "The court officials and the people of the world will not accept a queen mother who shamelessly covets my brother-in-law. Your majesty doesn't need a shameless mother queen."

Empress Dowager Zhu's face was pale, she was about to be driven crazy by this snow cliff.

I couldn't help being a little hysterical, "What the hell are you trying to do!"

Xue Ya said: "The empress dowager just needs to be obedient. You'd better remember that you and Xie Yan... cannot coexist. If you want to enjoy your empress dowager position safely, Xie Yan should Must die!"

Empress Dowager Zhu's body was crumbling, her eyes were bloodshot, "You can't kill Xie Yan at all!" If he was really as powerful as he boasted, why did Xie Yan still enter the palace? !
Xue Ya snorted softly, her eyes were cold and stern, "How do you know who will win the battle until the last moment?"

Pushing away the obstructive Empress Dowager Zhu, Xue Ya said in a deep voice, "Where are those officials now?"

A man reported: "I have already entered the palace, and I am coming to the harem."

Xue Ya smiled and said: "The regent is busy right now, don't let them disturb the regent's interest, let them come here."

"Yes." It's not difficult. The empress dowager's bedroom is in chaos like a battlefield. Unless those officials don't want to live, they won't go there by themselves.

Only then Xue Ya nodded in satisfaction, turned her head and said to Empress Dowager Zhu: "The empress dowager has remembered that it was Xie Yan who held the empress dowager and Your Majesty hostage. At this time, those who besieged the empress dowager's bedroom were all loyal ministers of King Laiqin."

Empress Dowager Zhu murmured: "No one will believe it."

Xue Ya said: "How do you know that no one will believe you?"

The Mingyin pavilion master who had been sleeping all this time suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He got up and moved his body before asking: "I originally thought that you wanted to control the little emperor to order the court. Although the possibility of success is very small, it is possible It barely makes sense. But you don't seem to have spent too much effort on the little emperor, and I don't understand what you want to do."

Xue Ya winked at the people next to her, and someone immediately stepped forward to take Empress Dowager Zhu down.

After Empress Dowager Zhu went out, Xue Ya smiled and said: "Control the little emperor? I am a person who has nothing to do with the royal family. Even if I really control the little emperor, will those people obey me? I am afraid that the next moment, I will be sidelined by the Qing emperor." The person is me."

"so?"

Xue Ya smiled and said: "So, if you want to push, push someone who can justifiably take power and has the ability to compete with Xie Yan."

The master of the Mingyin pavilion lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "King Ning, aren't you afraid of being cooked by rabbits and dogs?"

Xue Ya calmly said: "That also requires him to have the guts."

Pavilion Master Mingyin didn't speak anymore, he really didn't know what method Luan Yisi had to control people.

It's as if he's not sure now whether Xue Ya's doing these things is because of his own ambition or if he's being controlled by others.

"I wish you good luck." Finally, the owner of Pavilion Mingyin said lightly.

Not long after, all the court officials who rushed into the palace gathered outside the Queen Mother's Palace. They all had different expressions when they heard the pale Queen Mother speak out against the Prince Regent's Palace and the Luo family in a trembling voice.

Some spoke for the Regent's Palace and the Luo family, while others denounced Xie Yan and Luo Yun for their rebellion.

The biggest problem for the Luo family is that Luo Yun, who is the great general of Dingguo, has disappeared until now after such a big incident happened!
An old official shouted loudly, "At the time when the Luo family married the Prince Regent's Mansion, the old official made a mistake! Now it seems that it is a prophecy! Your Majesty...Your Majesty still doesn't know what to do now. First Emperor."

Immediately someone echoed, with a tone of vehemence, as if wishing they could rush to the Empress Dowager's bedroom immediately, kill Xie Yan and rescue the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty.

Although, no one actually did it.

Old Madam Su was supported by his son, and he looked especially calm among the agitated courtiers who saw each other.

He didn't pay attention to those colleagues who were diametrically opposed, but turned his attention to the young man in white standing beside the Empress Dowager Zhu, and asked coldly, "Who is this young master?"

In the firelight, most of Xue Ya's handsome face was covered up, so that many people noticed a stranger standing beside the queen mother until Old Madam Su reminded her.

Soon someone recognized it, "This... this seems to be the new eldest son of Ruan Xiang's family?"

All eyes turned to Ruan Ting instantly, he was also the most calm one among the people present.It's just that he is different from Old Madam Su, he is calm and looks a little gloomy and indifferent.

Xue Ya smiled, cupped his hands slightly towards the crowd and said: "Xia Ruan Shuo, I have met all the adults."

"Is he really the eldest son of the Ruan family?"

"Ruan Xiang, what's going on?"

"Ms. Ruan also knows what happened tonight? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Everyone rushed to greet Ruan Ting, Ruan Ting glanced at Xue Ya coldly, Xue Ya nodded to him with a smile.

Ruan Ting took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "I did get some news in advance, but I'm not sure. As for the dog...he just returned to Ruan's house, what do you want me to say?"

Xue Ya chuckled lightly, did he think that the relationship could be put aside?
Xue Ya looked at Ruan Ting with a bit of mockery: This is the end, why bother to struggle?

Ruan Ting looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

The ministers were obviously not satisfied with this answer. Wasn't Mr. Xueya a luthier in the first place?Without Ruan Ting's help, how could they have appeared beside the Queen Mother before them?
Under Xue Ya's signal, Empress Dowager Zhu spoke again with tears in her eyes: "It is not known what is going on in the Empress Dowager's Palace, nor what is happening to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. The late Emperor died young, leaving behind us orphans and widows. , and please save our orphans and widows.” After saying that, tears fell like rain.

Empress Dowager Zhu was already young and beautiful, but she was really tired and haggard tonight.Looking at it under the lights at this time, it looks even more pitiful, and many people can't help feeling sympathetic.

Su Taifu glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is willing to go in person to negotiate with the regent."

Empress Dowager Zhu was startled, looking at Taifu Su at a loss.

Xue Ya said with a smile: "At this time there is endless fighting, the old matriarch may be in danger in the past. The matriarch is the pillar of the great prosperity, the minister of the country, if something happens, who can take care of it?"

Grand Tutor Su ignored Xue Ya's words, but turned his head to Ruan Ting and said: "Mr. Ruan, your son's words are too much."

The implication is that there are so many important ministers present, when will it be your turn to speak?
Ruan Ting smiled wryly and bowed his hands to Master Su, asking for his forgiveness, but he didn't say anything to reprimand Xue Ya.

Grand Tutor Su knew in his heart that Ruan Ting might be useless.

Ruan Ting did not lie, he and this Xueya are not in the same way, but for some reason, he obviously has no intention of stopping Xueya's actions.

King Ning smiled and said: "Teacher, Mr. Ruan's words are not completely unreasonable. If something happens to the Tutor in the chaos, wouldn't it be a loss to the court?"

Su Taifu said: "Then what does the prince think?"

Ning Wang said: "Why don't you send a few people with strong kung fu to convey the Queen Mother's order? As long as the regent can stop fighting, everything will be easy to talk about."

Su Taifu looked at King Ning and remained silent. What he said was simple, but he wanted to put the charge of rebellion directly on the regent's head.

Taifu Su took a deep breath, and leaned on his son to support his weak body.

Only five years have passed, have these people forgotten the means and cruelty Xie Yan used to quell the Three Kings Rebellion?Even if the Zhen Guojun only has [-] soldiers and horses in Beijing, do they feel that they can stay at the top?

Old Madam Su sighed, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, be careful."

King Ning still smiled and said: "Old Madam, what are you talking about? Could it be that you have other ways? If something really happens to His Majesty, we are all sinners through the ages."

The old lady Su said: "If that's the case, the old man will deliver the decree in person. Presumably the regent will be willing to give the old man some favors."

King Ning shook his head and said, "Old Madam Fu is old, it's not appropriate."

"Who does the prince want to belong to?" Old Madam Su asked.

King Ning smiled and said, "If not, let my grandson go? He also needs to call Zhifei Emperor Uncle. Presumably Zhifei won't hurt him."

Taifu Su looked at the young man standing beside King Ning. He was the son of King Ning's eldest son, Xie Chengzhao, the most valued grandson of King Ning.

Let him pass the decree, one can imagine what it will look like.

A young official next to Taifu Su wanted to speak, but was grabbed by Taifu Su and shook his head slightly.

The young official looked at Grand Tutor Su, and had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing this, King Ning showed a satisfied smile, "So, please ask the queen mother to issue a decree."

The noisy voice at the gate of the Empress Dowager's Palace gradually became quieter, and everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"My lord, they want to directly charge the regent with treason. Why do you..." The young official standing next to Taifu Su couldn't help but whispered.

Old Madam Su closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Can't you see it? We are being held hostage, even if you go out, you will not be able to get to the Empress Dowager's bedroom." It's not that he doesn't know that entering the palace may be dangerous. What happened, but if you blindly hide at home, it will really be a dark spot in front of your eyes, and it will also make the situation here one-sided.

The young official was reminded, so he took the time to glance around.

The crowd was so excited just now that they didn't even notice that many people appeared not far from them.If it is not surprising that the Imperial Forest Army and the Wuwei Army appear here, those men in black who don't know their identities make people feel particularly disturbed.

Obviously, they were not the only ones who discovered this. The crowd who were still arguing because of different opinions became more and more silent.

"Don't worry, the regent must have other plans." Old Madam Su comforted the young man.

Luo Junyao was squatting on a roof, and the raised tiles of the roof at the corner of the hall covered her figure.

"After a long time, Xue Ya wants to slander Xie Yan and usurp the throne?" Luo Junyao said a little boringly, she thought this Luan Ceremony Master had some fantastic ideas.

Wei Changting said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, isn't there such a thing in court? I think this Mr. Xueya is a genius."

"Where is Qi?" Luo Junyao asked.

Wei Changting said: "Since ancient times, if you want to seize power, at least you have to enter the court center to hold the important power, right? But look at this Mr. Xueya, who knew him before that, but now he can hold the empress dowager hostage. The hat of treason has been put on Xie Yan's head, this is clearly a genius for disrupting wars."

"Isn't Prime Minister Ruan and King Ning endorsing him?" Luo Jun said, "Otherwise, Mr. Su just spoke up, and he should be rejected." Although he has force in his hands to suppress it, force suppression can only be used for a while.

Wei Changting said: "But he can make Ruan Ting and King Ning endorse him at the same time."

Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, "It seems that Ceremony Luan has done some things in the past 30 years." It's just that all of them are things that can't be seen, and Ceremony Luan has spent all his energy on collecting things these years. Has someone else picked it up?

"A Yan is being entangled by Qu Fang now, shall we do it here?" Luo Junyao asked.

Wei Changting shook his head, "Wait a little longer, we'll start after Xueya's cards are played, the power of Yisi Luan is still not exposed."

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "If he thinks that he can win this round without exposing the full strength of Yisi Luan, how long are you going to wait?"

Wei Changting raised his eyebrows, "What does the princess mean?"

Luo Junyao showed him a sweet smile, "It's almost dawn, let's add some fuel to his fire."

Wei Changting thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Good idea, what are you going to do?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "I'll go to Empress Dowager Zhu's palace to have a look."

Wei Changting rubbed his chin and said, "I'll help you cover, and by the way, I'd like to greet those Imperial Forest Army and Wuwei Army."

How courageous are these people to help a person of unknown origin rebel?
In other words, it wasn't Xue Ya who helped them in their eyes.

Wei Changting's eyes looked at the white and smiling old man in front of Empress Dowager Zhu's palace.

King Ning, the younger brother of Gaozu, the uncle of His Majesty today.If His Majesty and Xie Yan are gone, he is indeed qualified to succeed.
