Chapter 162

Siqing said: "Let the imperial guards continue to search, let's go to the apse."

As Siqing walked towards the apse, there were screaming servants all the way, they were no match for the Imperial Army.

Concubine Duan was helped to the couch in the back hall, Siqing quickly changed her wet clothes, and walked out with her wet hair all up on top of her head.

The cuffs of the newly changed clothes were not large enough, revealing terrible wounds, which startled Duan Wang Shizi, "Your Majesty..."

"I'm fine," Si Qing said, "The inner prison rebelled... Who of you saw Hean, the inner servant of Ninghua Palace today?"

He Shun went to Beijing with Xiao Yi, and He Quan went to Yining with the imperial concubine. The biggest servant among them was He An who was beside Siqing.

The guards below shook their heads one after another, Siqing said coldly: "Search for me, be sure to keep alive!"

With the Imperial Army leading the order, Siqing asked Prince Duan again, "The second sound..."

"The first sound came from the beam of the house," Duan Wang Shizi said, "There are too few explosives, the beam is not broken, just like a firecracker, but the smoke is heavy, the second sound is a squib, only smoke."

Siqing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she didn't blow herself up to pieces.

She thought of the rocket, probably not to shoot herself, but to ignite the explosives on the top of the temple.She blocked it with her sleeve, the explosives may not have fully ignited.

"They should be fine, as long as they are not chopped down by the servants." Si Qing said.

After Duan Wangshizi came forward to preside over the order, order became orderly. A team of forbidden troops began to clean up the main hall of the East Palace. Two teams of forbidden troops walked towards the harem from the east and west and killed the inner prisoner who was holding a fire and a knife with a sword. The rest went back to their sentry posts.After a while, the forbidden army came to report that Fan Ziran had come, and saw that he looked like a kitchen prince. When he saw Siqing, he staggered and almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by the forbidden army.Immediately afterwards, someone came to report that Kang Wang and his son had been found.

As soon as Si Qing heard it, she knew that King Kang could not move, so she got up and walked forward, but was blocked by everyone including Prince Duan.The main hall just exploded, although it didn't blow up, but who knows if the main hall is a dangerous building now.

Siqing insisted on moving forward, only to see someone under the porch pillar at the back of the main hall who was rescuing King Kang's son. His head was covered with dirt, and he was obviously near the bombing point just now. His left ear was dripping with blood, which should have been cut by the rebel inner prisoner.Seeing that he was unconscious, Siqing repeatedly called the medical officer.Although Kang Wang, who was leaning on the pillar, was not injured, he was already suffering from too much air and too little air.

Kang Wang opened his eyes as if returning to the light, saw Si Qing and asked: "Is something wrong with your majesty? What exactly does the queen want to do?! Where is the crown prince?!"

Siqing called the medical officer again, Kang Wang excitedly said: "Is it because Sun Pingfu colluded with the queen..."

Prince Duan couldn't stand it and said: "Uncle, just now Her Royal Highness was almost bombed..."

Kang Wang yelled excitedly, "Is it? Is it?!"

Siqing was so angry that her head was going to explode, and the wound on her sleeve was painful. She tried to hear King Kang's breath and mumbled, "I'm just seeking power and usurping the throne. Is King Kang satisfied?"

King Kang's throat made a heck sound, and Prince Duan shouted, "Uncle Six! Uncle Six!" The medical officer finally stepped forward and immediately announced that King Kang had passed away.

Fan Ziran was the first to react and ordered everyone to lead away Siqing and Prince Duan, carry away King Kang's body, and asked the medical officer and imperial guards to send Prince Kang to the inner room to treat the wound.

Siqing said: "Continue looking for Fang Huibi!"

When Siqing returned to the back hall of the East Palace with Prince Duan and Fan Ziran, Fan Ziran was the first to ask, "Where is the East Palace?"

Siqing replied: "In the safest place."

Fan Ziran still had doubts, and Si Qing said: "I have received a secret report that the foreign aid to Beijing is not officers and soldiers, but private soldiers secretly trained by the Dingfan in collusion with the spies in the court. They are going to start an incident tonight. I originally asked you to come Discuss countermeasures, who knows that the other party will act in advance."

Fan Ziran asked again: "Your Highness, who is the traitor?"

Si Qing said: "Those who haven't come to the East Palace today may be."

Prince Duan's complexion changed, and Si Qing said: "If you are a traitor, Old Eleven, it is impossible for you to come to the forbidden center and send it to my door as a hostage, isn't it?"

Duan Wang Shizi said: "Dingfan is already in full swing in the south. If there is another chaos in the capital, then once Dingfan 'goes straight to Huanglong', the consequences will be disastrous."

Fan Ziran said: "My lord, chaos has begun."

At this time, Bai Luchu received the news through the Jigu Pavilion Pigeon House. After the fireworks went off and the East Palace caught fire, the rebels in the city had already started attacking at the same time.Among them, the fighting in the government army guards near Dengshikou was the most intense, and the street fighting had already stretched for a mile.

A forbidden army came in to report: "Reporting to Her Majesty, all the internal prisons with weapons have been killed."

Siqing felt that it was not enough, "Search again, search thoroughly, and make sure to find He An, the servant of Ninghua Palace. I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go."

As soon as she finished speaking, the situation she was worried about reappeared - since the eighteenth year of Xining, she didn't like living in the forbidden center, either Xiyuan or Nannei Qingxiyuan. Shi is dealing with it, including the introspection officer under the jurisdiction.

The imperial concubine Zhou is not in the capital, these rebellions must have been carefully premeditated, it is impossible to be swept away by the imperial army so easily.Soon, many rockets shot down from the heights around the walls of the Eastern Palace.

In addition to the city wall, there are several high points in the palace, including the corner tower of the East Palace, the Qiande Tower of the Maode Hall, the Zhanyun Tower of the Ninghua Hall, the Huifeng Tower of the Yining Palace, and the Shuiyun Tower on the rockery of the Royal Garden. There are also many places where people can hide in the high places of the temple, this trick is really insidious.

The rockets that shot down quickly caused panic in the East Palace. If you didn't hide in the hall, you would be shot to death. If you hid in the hall, the window curtains of the main hall have been ignited at this moment, and you may be burned alive.Si Qing didn't need to think about it, but at this moment, the forbidden army outside and the rebellious inner prisoner must be fighting fiercely with arrows.

However, the inner eunuchs occupied the high ground. Although the crossbows of the imperial army are powerful, it will take time to win.But at this moment, the fire in the hall suddenly rose to a high level, Prince Duan exclaimed, "There is oil in the ground!"

Everyone hurriedly retreated into the back hall, ignoring that Princess Duan was inside.

Duan Wang Shizi hesitated for a moment, got up and dragged Kang Wang Shizi Xiao Shao in.

Although the main hall of the East Palace "exploded" just now, but when the squibs rang out, there was indeed a raging fire attacking everyone at this moment.

It was not difficult for Siqing to imagine how chaotic the rest of the palace would be if the fire broke out in the East Palace.She blamed herself for always keeping her eyes on the front, and the inner eunuch under the couch didn't know anything about it.The imperial concubine Zhou is not there, only Lingzhen is in the palace... Lingzhen and He Meiren don't know where they are tonight, whether they are safe or not.

She became anxious. After the "explosion" in the hall, why hasn't Fang Huibin been found yet?He asked her to leave the palace to hide for a while, she had to... At this time, Siqing suddenly understood why Tang Peng was so anxious to persuade herself to leave quickly.She thought that after Tang Peng was injured, he didn't know where he was placed. It is said that he is an insider and should be safe.But I issued an edict to explain that someone leaked the action in advance. If the other party guessed that it was Tang Peng who leaked the secret, then Tang Peng is now the most dangerous.

But she didn't have time to think about Tang Peng, the inner girder was on fire and crumbling.Siqing smelled a choking smell in the air, not the smell of fireworks, but...is this smell poisonous? !
Siqing was horrified, and at the moment she commanded everyone to withdraw from the side doors on both sides, the burning beam fell, and Siqing had to run away by herself. Abandoned his own mother, Princess Duan.

The three rushed out of the back hall of the East Palace, and the hall turned into a sea of ​​flames with the loud noise.The Imperial Army finally annihilated the inner prison, and rushed to put out the fire one after another.Bai Luchu, who was going to command the pigeon house just now, hurried over, the arrow formation just now interrupted the communications from the pigeon house, and he didn't know what was going on in the city.

If the street fighting in the city drags on for too long and the city becomes chaotic... Siqing shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it.A thought flashed through Siqing's mind: The imperial capital is about to end.

She regretted not making it clear to Yuan Lingbo that once the situation got out of control, the only person she could trust in the city would be Wu Zhenying.Wu Zhenying has been in the sidelines for many years, and there may be a way to protect the old and weak in Jiguge, but Yuan Lingbo doesn't seem to be very clear about his relationship with Wu Zhenying.

Concubine Duan was already awake and crying, Siqing said to Prince Duan, "Old Eleven, leave your mother to me, and the imperial guards around the East Palace to you."

The East Palace is located in the northeast direction of the Wenhua Palace in the Forbidden China and Foreign Countries, with the Duanben Palace that was almost blown up just now as the axis.

Siqing thinks that since the opponent is attacking in the East Palace tonight, most of the power should be gathered around the East Palace.The East Palace is fried and filled with kerosene, and it is suspected to have poisonous gas when it burns. For the present plan, we should leave the East Palace as soon as possible and go to the nearest Yining Palace in the north where the noble concubine Ding'an lives, or simply go back to my own Ninghua Palace.Otherwise, Fushui went to Xiyuan, and went to Jigu Pavilion through the Xiyuan tunnel. In short, he couldn't wait to die in the East Palace.

Surrounding the Imperial Army were the Jinwu Guards and Fujun Guards sent by Siqing, as well as the Donggong Guards who formed their own system. After the apse caught fire, the situation began to become chaotic again.Siqing hesitated for a moment, and decided to take Princess Duan to retreat to the north first, and gradually put the wounded in Yining Palace temporarily.

Prince Duan quickly commanded the imperial army to form a square that interlocked with each other, and first protected Siqing and Princess Duan and retreated northward, and led his own people to continue to put out the fire to find Prince Kang and Fan Ziran.Siqing and Concubine Duan retreated into Yining Palace, only to see the corpses of internal prisoners all over the floor, Concubine Duan screamed in fright.

After entering Yining Palace, Siqing received two pieces of news, one was good and the other was bad. The good news was that Concubine Ding'an and her three children arrived at Jigu Pavilion safely, and the bad news was that the Jinwu Guard and the guards in the Jinwu Guard near Qianbu Corridor arrived safely. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides of the rebel army. The Jinwu Guard originally had two deputies going north with Xiao Yi, and one of its subordinates went out with Cheng Yingzhou. Most of the rest were transferred to the palace by Siqing tonight. Wei Shang was able to fight the rebels with the help of Ji Guge's intelligence and Yuan Lingbo's mediation, but the Jinwu Guard was close to the palace, so he might have missed it at this moment.

Once the Jinwu Guard misses, the next goal of the rebels is to attack Miyagi.

Before that, Siqing issued two orders, which were not to open the capital city gate and the palace city gate.The Jinwu Guard fell, the military guards of the government were anxious, the situation of the Habayashi Guard was unknown, and the remaining guards had no commanders in Beijing.

However, given that Tang Peng, the commander of the Habayashi Guard, is himself a traitor in Dingfan, Siqing dare not place his hopes on the Habayashi Guard at this moment.But once the rebels start to attack Miyagi, the only forces outside Miyagi and in the capital that can be honored are the five soldiers and horses in the inner city and the fifth patrolling battalion in the outer city. Can you deal with Dingfan's well-trained private soldiers?
One-third of Dingfan's private soldiers remained outside the city. There must have been rebels in the Beijing camp outside the city taking advantage of the "support" of the Beijing camp to sneak into the third battalion. Even if Cheng Yingzhou received a secret report, he could really deal with it properly. ?Although his kung fu is superb, his two fists are no match for four hands, and he may not be able to live with real hands.If the city gates of the capital were opened to release the capital battalion into the middle of the capital to rescue Miyagi, it would give the rebels a chance to attack the imperial capital together.When the time comes to close the city, Ding'an Royal Concubine and the others may not be safe.For the current plan, the safety of Miyagi must be guaranteed first.

There are many government offices on both sides of the Thousand-step Corridor. After thinking about it, Prince Duan decided to assign a crossbowman to the Chengtian Gate to observe the situation in case of accidents. Si Qing agreed to his request.At this time, the fire in the back hall of the East Palace was not good, and Si Qing couldn't care less about Fan Ziran, Prince Kang's son, and Fang Huipin, and asked about the whereabouts of King Dadang and An of Ninghua Hall when the operation to suppress the inner prison came to an end.

A few moments later, a palace official from the Shangfu Bureau reported that he had found He An near Zhanyun Tower. He An was cut by the thief on his left buttock and was bleeding profusely.

Siqing was taken aback, Da Dang and An of Xining Huadian were not rebellious parties, and the leaders of the worrying party had no clue.At this moment, Fan Ziran staggered forward with his beard completely burnt, wearing the robe of the inner eunuch. So far, after the fire in the back hall of the East Palace, only Prince Kang's son has not been found.

Seeing that he was fine, Siqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Ziran heard Siqing talk about the situation in the city, and was about to speak when someone came in and reported that Tang Peng's situation was critical.

Siqing thought that if anyone else could find the slightest clue in this dead situation, this "insider traitor" might be the only one, so Fan Ziran went to find Tang Peng regardless of Fan Ziran. Opening Siqing's sleeve, Siqing was dragged by Princess Duan.Siqing tore off her sleeves and turned around to leave, leaving Fan Ziran covered in ashes and Princess Duan dumbfounded like puppets.

It turned out that after Tang Peng was caught, he was placed in the side hall of the East Palace. Because the East Palace was weak, two medical officers from the Codex Pharmacy Bureau lived in the wing room for consultation at any time. This was originally arranged by the noble concubine Ding'an.At this time Tang Peng was seriously injured, and a medical officer hurriedly treated him.Fortunately he was wearing armor, Siqing's sword didn't penetrate too deeply, otherwise he might be killed on the spot.

The Imperial Army didn't know that the Shangguan was an "internal traitor", and the rebellious servant tried his best to protect Tang Peng when he started shooting arrows.Fortunately, the servant's target was a big shot, so he didn't pay much attention to the people in the wing room.

Siqing retreated back to Yining Palace with great difficulty, and at this moment she wanted to go back to the East Palace from the main gate of Yining Palace, which shocked the imperial guards.At this time, the fire in the East Palace became more and more intense, the water dragon team could not enter the palace, and the progress of the servants getting water from the pool to fight the fire was not good, and the Imperial Army also wanted to move Tang Peng northward.Siqing had just entered the north gate of the East Palace, and the forbidden army was just carrying Tang Peng out. There was no medical officer accompanying him. It turned out that the medical officer had already gone to rescue the burnt palace servants of the East Palace.

Siqing was afraid of Liu Ya, so she carried Tang Peng to the guard room under Qingduan's gate nearby.She has been under the influence of Fu Linchuan for many years. Although she has learned the Qihuang technique in a mess, but after all, her family has a long history, so her first reaction is to check Tang Peng's pulse.Fortunately, still alive.
