Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 296
In the garden, Princess Xingnan looked a little tired and was half lying on the bed. The shouting and killing outside the palace wall had been going on all day long, but it couldn't make her mood fluctuate too much.

It has been a month since I entered the garden after the new year. During this period of time, the little girl has been tortured. Every time she closes her eyes, she dreams of the miserable scene described by Shen Zhezi, so that she wakes up frequently in the middle of the night. The face is also getting thinner.When the rebel army really rushed to Fuzhou Mountain, the princess's fear reached the extreme, but she was gradually relieved when she saw that the rebel army was only shouting on the hillside outside the wall, but still failed to rush into the garden.

Now she doesn't think about anything, but remembers Shen Zhezi's advice, once the guards in the garden evacuate, immediately take the queen mother and rush out of the palace from the direction of Tongyuan. No matter how big the military disaster is, there will be people in Tongyuan to respond.

Today's little girl already regards Shen Zhezi as her only reliance, and treats his words like a saint, as long as there are guards cruising in the garden, no matter what kind of turmoil happens outside, she will no longer be moved.

Compared with Shen Zhezi's pleasant experience of entering the garden last time, Princess Xingnan was quite depressed during her stay in the garden. Because the rebel army was approaching the city, the queen mother's mood became more and more anxious, and there was no news from Taichung for a long time. The hesitation and anger accumulated in my heart almost poured on the princess, and I had to send the princess to the palace every day to reprimand him for a long time.

If she followed her previous temperament, Princess Xingnan might have left the garden and returned home long ago, but when she thought about how unreliable her uncle would be if she left, the queen mother and Aliu might both fall into the trap of rebellious ministers. Despite being humiliated by hand, Princess Xingnan gritted her teeth and endured even though her heart was full of depression.It's just that in the past few days, he said he was sick, even if the mother summoned him, he didn't go there anymore.At home, Shen Zhezi took good care of her, so he was not willing to be blamed by his mother for no reason.

While she was sleeping with her eyes closed, Princess Xingnan suddenly heard hurried footsteps around her, and immediately saw the little lady Cui Ling walking forward with a solemn expression: "Princess, the guards have already evacuated in large numbers!"

"set off!"

Princess Xingnan was shocked when she heard the words, her drowsiness dissipated immediately, and she walked towards the Empress Dowager's Palace first.Behind him, dozens of strong and brave servant women followed aggressively.The little lady Cui Ling clasped the slingshot with one hand and put the other in the buckskin pouch around her waist, her eyes were looking vigilantly at the messy garden.Shen Lang is very kind to her family, since she has entrusted her with the safety of the princess, even if she sacrifices her life, she will hand over the princess to Shen Lang intact!
At this time in the garden, many palace people have become frightened birds, and they have no place to escape, so they can only wander around in the garden, occasionally looking outside the wall where the sound of fighting is getting more and more tragic, their faces are bloodless.Seeing Princess Xingnan and her party approaching aggressively, they couldn't help but become more frightened, and retreated to the side of the road one after another.

Seeing the panic and helplessness of these palace people, Princess Xingnan couldn't bear it. She stopped and was about to say something when the little lady Cui Ling beside her roared, "Princess, be careful!"

Hearing this warning sound, Princess Xingnan gritted her teeth tightly, and finally swallowed back the words that rushed into her throat. It is really inappropriate to make troubles at the moment, but when she was leaving here, she still couldn't help pointing at the palace officials. He shouted: "If you don't wink one by one, you should be kicked out of the palace early!"

The palace people were even more terrified when they heard this, and they all crouched by the side of the road and did not dare to raise their heads. However, some people keenly sensed that the princess's eyes and tone were slightly inconsistent. It is located in the garden, and there is a small path leading directly to the big river outside the city.

At this time, a large number of palace people gathered outside the Empress Dowager's Palace, all of them looked uneasy. Seeing the princess walking along the way, several elderly palace people came forward and said: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is very tired and has already rested." ..."

"Go away! I want to see my mother, how can you stop me!"

Princess Xingnan stomped her feet and scolded, and immediately the powerful servants behind them rushed up and pushed the blockers out.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to stop them any more, and retreated to the side one after another.

Princess Xingnan went straight into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, pointed to several palace servants standing in the palace and shouted: "You all stand down, I want to have a private conversation with the Empress Dowager!"

"Xing Nan is presumptuous, who gave you the guts to make noise in my hall!"

The empress dowager also slept very lightly, she was woken up soon, and she scolded in the inner room with a little dissatisfaction.

"I'm just not angry in my heart. I have to be blamed and scolded by my mother every day for what I did wrong!"

While shouting loudly, Princess Xingnan led a few servants straight into the inner room, and then saw her mother half lying on the couch staring at herself, her face pale with anger, although her heart was a little weak, but still He boldly shouted: "If the Empress Mother doesn't give me an explanation today, my heart is really hard to calm down!"

Some palace people around the empress dowager originally followed up to try to dissuade the princess, but when they heard the princess's unfriendly tone and saw the empress dowager's face turned extremely ugly, they all retreated in a hurry.Now that the situation outside the city is so rotten, the empress dowager's mood is getting worse and worse. If she blames them because of the dispute between mother and daughter, it will be a disaster for no reason.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she couldn't help herself, and she didn't want the palace people to see this little girl's disobedience, she waved her hands impatiently to drive everyone away, and then pointed at Princess Xingnan, who was about to reprimand her, but Princess Xingnan made a stride He rushed up, grabbed the Empress Dowager's wrist, and roared: "Shut up, Queen Mother! Uncle has already fled out of the city, only my family is left alone in the garden, and the chaos is coming soon. If you want to survive, don't make a fuss!"

"This this……"

When the empress dowager heard this, her anger was replaced by shock, she froze on the spot, and then looked at the princess in disbelief.

Taking advantage of this gap, the little lady Cui Ling rushed to the couch, grabbed the silk with her slender hands and tightly covered the empress dowager's mouth and nose, and immediately showed her eyes to the accompanying servants.Knowing the urgency of the situation, the servants went forward one after another and quickly took off the clothes and hair buns of the Empress Dowager, and put them on ordinary palace dresses.

Princess Xingnan was struggling after seeing her mother, her face was flushed from the suffocation, and she couldn't bear it in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, the little lady Cui Ling shook her head repeatedly to signal her no.Princess Xingnan had no choice but to turn her back and continue to make noise according to the script programmed earlier.

Not long after, the empress dowager no longer had the slightest dignified posture, and she looked no different from ordinary palace people at first glance.At this time, the servants surrounded the princess and the empress dowager and rushed out from the side door, while the little lady Cui Ling threw silk and other flammable materials all over the ground, and then ignited them with fire.The palace people who had been listening in the outer ears of the hall immediately noticed something unusual, rushed into the hall in a hurry, saw the raging fire, screams immediately filled the entire hall, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Stand quietly behind the door of the side hall for a while, hold the door firmly, wait until the palace people can't push the door open and turn to the front hall, Princess Xingnan and others rush out of the side hall and quickly turn into a remote path.After a long while, the little lady Cui Ling who set fire to the palace came up panting, and another group of servants also detoured to meet in front.

Seeing the flames gradually engulfing the palace, and still spreading, Princess Xingnan couldn't help but frowned, wondering: "Why do you have to set fire?"

"Your Majesty reminds me, before leaving the garden, no one can be sure of the Empress Dowager's whereabouts, otherwise I will be in danger."

The little lady Cui Ling said in a low voice, as the fire is getting stronger, even if the palace people have doubts, they have to put out the fire first to confirm whether the empress dowager is in the palace or not. The location is too conspicuous.After the rebel army rushed into the garden, they would definitely arrest the palace servants for questioning immediately.

A group of people rushed towards Tongyuan, but when they passed a garden, a terrified and trembling voice suddenly came from the garden: "Emperor, Empress Dowager..."

The little lady Han Ling raised her hand and shot, the bullet directly hit the mouth of the palace man who was hiding here, and then a strong servant woman pulled out her hairpin and swooped up, immediately piercing the palace man's throat!

The empress dowager was trapped in the team, and she was still struggling, but when she saw the palace servant covering her bleeding throat with both hands, opening her mouth and making a hoarse hissing sound, her body slowly fell into the garden, her body trembled suddenly, and then Looking in disbelief at the little girl whose expression didn't change much, the appearance was so familiar, but it made her feel extremely strange.

"Hurry up!"

Princess Xingnan glanced at the palace man who gave her life in vain, and immediately waved her hand, and the group continued to move forward.This time the empress dowager didn't struggle anymore, but her eyes were a little dull, and she let the two servants drag her along.

At this time, there were already signs of rebellion in Yuanzhong near Taicheng. It seemed that someone was looking at this place, and several figures rushed towards this direction howling.

"You go first!"

The young lady Cui Ling paused her footsteps and held the slingshot to shoot continuously. Although the power was a little weak because of the distance, it also brought some obstacles to those people's progress.

"A-Ling quickly retreat, the support has arrived!"

Hearing the princess' low growl, Cui Ling turned around and saw a group of Longxi soldiers had broken through the wall of the Tongyuan and rushed into the garden. His heartstrings were suddenly loosened, and he even felt a sense of loss of strength.Although there were not many dangers along the way, but the rebel army was about to break through the inner garden, and with such a tight time difference, her heartstrings were stretched to the extreme. Now that the reinforcements have gathered, she finally lived up to her trust.

In addition to Liu Meng, Shen Ke, who served as the palace supervisor, led a group of Longxi soldiers.Without Shen Ke's dispatch, even though Tongyuan is not within the scope of Neiyuan, it would be extremely difficult to arrange manpower there.After Shen Ke served as the palace supervisor, he also learned part of the plan from Shen Zhezi one after another. The boldness of the plan made him unavoidably startled, but he couldn't hold back his excitement. Zhongzhi Xianhe will have a qualitative leap!
After serving as the palace supervisor, Shen Ke also has the qualifications for court council, so he naturally recognizes the empress dowager who is dressed as a palace lady at this time.Tongyuan is not safe at the moment, and Shen Ke has no time to make a false gift. He just stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "The situation is urgent, so we can only do this. If you offend Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, if you have nothing to do in the future, you will be punished in front of the gate! Now pass The garden is also not safe, Your Majesty should move it quickly, there is still support outside the garden, so you can go straight out of the city!"

After hearing the words, the princess looked anxious, and said, "The emperor is still in the garden, I'm going to save him!"

"Yes, my son..."

After hearing this, the empress dowager woke up like a dream, with tears welling up in her eyes: "Please Shen Qing, you must rescue the emperor, and you will be rewarded in the future, and you will be granted whatever you ask for..."

At this time, the noise of the soldiers in the garden became louder and louder, and there was also the sound of fighting in the Tongyuan behind. Shen Ke said quickly: "The Taibao and others have gone to protect His Majesty the Emperor. Later, the ministers will also defend the emperor. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. But if one or two loyal bones can stand, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be lost in the chaos!"

The princess still had to fight hard, but thinking about what Shen Zhezi said earlier if she didn't keep the promise, her silver teeth almost gnawed.She tore off a corner of her robe, bit her fingertips and wrote in a hurry, then stuffed it into Shen Ke's hands, crying, "Please uncle, please hand over this book to the emperor, I, I..."

"Princess, it's time!"

Liu Meng turned his gaze and signaled Cui Lingyunzhi and others to step forward to pull the princess up, and then the group rushed around the palace wall to the agreed reception point.

　In fact, if you read the previous article carefully, you should be able to feel that the last few chapters are not my usual style of writing. There are at least five chapters in the plan before Yu Liang is killed. The psychological activities of Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Langya Wang, and even Liyang stopped for more than a month after the rise of troops. , are all blank.I saw a post in the book review area a few days ago, don't be too conceited, think about the readers.I think so, so I brought Yu Liang forward.Then in this chapter, this reader came out again, he was too self-indulgent, you have to consider the reader.I’m so screwed, of course it’s not the reader’s fault, it’s just a matter of my mentality, but it also reveals a little gap, you can’t see my foreshadowing, and I don’t know how to think about you.After all, it still has to be attributed to my pace. After all, I am the one who receives the manuscript fee, so I will selectively ignore similar suggestions in the future. I hope you can forgive me.
