Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 329 The Finale

The Imperial Forest Army was still desperately resisting.

I saw the corpses of Gong'e eunuchs and soldiers everywhere in the inner street.

In the raging flames, the sound of fighting and fighting between the city guards and the imperial forest army spread across the palace wall. At this moment, a gorgeous firework suddenly rose from the sky not far away, and golden, purple, orange and red sparks formed a strange pattern in the sky.

Commander Fu, who was in command of the Imperial Forest Army, shouted: "It's the Black Banner Army, Young Lord Shen is here! Brothers, hold on, Young Lord Shen is coming with reinforcements!"

After finishing speaking, he who was a little exhausted suddenly burst out with strength, raised his big knife and slashed at the attacking guards around him.

With confidence, the Royal Forest Army suddenly increased courage.

For a moment, the sound of killing was like thunder and roaring.

But after a while, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from far and near.

When the cavalry group came into view, the leader of the man in silver armor was holding a trident, leading the black flag army, like a magic soldier descending from the sky.

Shen Zhan's hands were never fancy, just simply slashed and slashed, and then there was a sea of ​​blood and slaughter around him, harvesting life like a god of death wielding a sickle, thick blood splashed on his fair face, and he was indifferent.

After clearing the Lijie rebellion, Shen Zhan handed over his right battle ax to his left, and drove slowly towards Commander Fu on his horse.

Commander Fu stepped forward, clutching his injured arm, gritted his teeth, cupped his fists in pain and said, "Master Shen!"

Shen Zhan looked down at him coldly and said, "Where is His Highness the Prince?"

Commander Fu said: "I only know that less than half an hour ago, someone came to report that His Royal Highness had gone to the Qinzheng Hall, and it seems that he hasn't come out yet."

"understood."

Shen Zhan raised his horsewhip and led more than a thousand black flag troops behind him to rush towards Changhua Palace.

……

……

Sleeping in Changhua Palace.

Gong'e, who was dressed in a blue robe, ran into the palace in a panic, and shouted: "It's not good, empress, the black flag army of Lord Shen Xiaohou has attacked!"

The queen was taken aback.

Shen Mei followed with a broken face: "What nonsense are you talking about, the gate of the capital is sealed, and the Black Banner Army can't get in!"

Gong E was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her body trembling like a sieve: "It's true, I heard the rumors in the Imperial Forest Army with my own ears, saying it was...it was General Li Xian who opened the city gate with a soldier talisman, and then Young Lord Shen immediately took the black The flag army rushed into the city and headed straight for the palace!"

"Impossible!" Shen Mei said humanely, "Li Xian has been dispatched to the frontier, how could he still appear in the capital, let alone open the city gate with a tiger charm!"

Gong'e began to cry: "Slaves dare not lie to their master, but what the Imperial Forest Army said outside is serious, especially... Especially just now when sparks exploded in the sky outside, those Imperial Forest Army said it was the attack signal of the Black Banner Army."

One sentence is like pouring a bowl of water into a frying pan.

The pot exploded instantly in the hall.

The queen stood up and said with a cold face: "I will step back from you all."

The maids looked at each other and exited the inner bedroom in an orderly manner.

Shenmei lost her mind a little, saw the queen turned around and walked in, and asked thoughtlessly: "Empress, if it's really Xiaohou Shen, what should we do?"

The queen stopped in her tracks, turned to look at her and said, "Are you asking Ben Gong? You should know the answer to this question when you stand on the same line as Ben Gong. Why, is Shenmei so afraid of death?"

Shen Mei waved her hands again and again: "No... no... no, I'm just asking, Empress, General Li Xian was condemned by the crown prince and sent to the frontier, but now he suddenly appeared in the capital and opened the city gate, all of this... ...Isn't it too weird?"

The queen said nothing, looked at the screen that separated the soft couch from the outside, felt a little heartbroken, and walked inside.

The man on the bed had his eyes closed tightly, his cheeks were sunken, his face was bruised and purple, and his face was full of sick vicissitudes.

The queen looked at him carefully, she loved this face but also hated it for a long time.

After a while, the Queen said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Shen is here."

The people on the bed didn't respond.

Behind the screen, Beauty Shen secretly listened to the Queen talking to herself.

"I have been husband and wife with Your Majesty for decades. I have known each other since they were children. I still remember that it was the first appointment in the Southern Region. As the daughter of the head of the Southern Region, I was sent to the capital to be a proton. I spent all my life in the capital. At that time, His Majesty was still the unfavored Fourth Prince."

The queen slowly sat down on the side of the soft couch, sighing and said: "When you and I got married back then, His Majesty always said that we only have interests and no feelings, so we only need to do our own things well. In fact, there is a The concubine never told His Majesty about it, but I remember that the first time we met was at the palace banquet, I was bullied in the side hall, it was Your Majesty who helped me, at that time I fell in love with Your Majesty."

"Later, the southern region was not peaceful, so the late emperor ordered His Majesty to suppress the chaos. I still remember His Majesty's appearance when he went out to fight, as if engraved in my bones. In the past, I would be moved when I thought of that brave young man. "

The queen smiled, but then collapsed: "I haven't been out of the capital since I left the Southern Region at the age of seven. In this huge capital city, only Your Majesty can keep me warm. I look forward to your Majesty every day." Returning to the capital, I think about it every day, but what I wait for is the news that His Majesty and Lianying have exchanged feelings for each other at the time of his concubine father's sacrifice for the country!"

The queen looked up at the ceiling, took a long breath before holding back her tears, and said in a very slow tone: "Your Majesty doesn't know how it feels to be criticized by others alone in the capital during those days, and your Majesty also doesn't know how cold it is to stand on the city wall at night. The wind is so biting, Your Majesty doesn't know how the concubine has been wearing a gentle and virtuous mask these years, living like a walking corpse. Your Majesty has Shen Meiren who is regarded as a confidante, and a dignified and elegant Concubine Yi. would have thought that you had a wife."

"...I have always known that I am ashamed of you." The middle-aged man on the bed opened his eyes at some point.

The room was extremely silent for a while, and the queen was silent for a while: "Your Majesty woke up early?"

The emperor slowly propped himself up and sat up, his eyes as black as deep pools were fixed on the empress, and he said hoarsely: "I woke up a long time ago, the empress suddenly ordered me to say these things, didn't I also know that Shen Zhan led the black flag army to attack the empress?" In the imperial city, the crown prince's rebellion and defeat are a foregone conclusion, so did you say these things to me?"

The queen forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty has long thought that today will come, so you deliberately wait for it?"

The emperor frowned and said: "I don't have that ability, people are not as good as heaven, but the secret letter is indeed my idea, otherwise the crown prince would not be so anxious, and dare to raise troops to rebel before my funeral."

He smiled weakly: "No matter what, I would never have imagined that the son who behaved mildly in Xunri would murder his father for the sake of the throne."

"Don't Your Majesty know why the Crown Prince rebelled?" The Queen sneered, "No matter how good the Crown Prince is, His Majesty only has Concubine Yi's son in his eyes!"

The emperor's eyes were complicated: "Perhaps I am a little cold towards the prince, but I have always watched the prince's behavior. Compared with Wu Er... the prince is indeed not suitable to inherit the throne."

The queen chuckled a few times, and said: "Your Majesty's secret letter is indeed announcing that the fifth prince will inherit the throne."

The emperor was silent.

The secret letter contained the name of the heir to the throne. If the crown prince did not rebel, he would have no chance to stand up again.
