After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 5 Palace Chaos
"King Ying, if you dare to see blood in front of the empress dowager's coffin, you are treasonous!" an official reprimanded sharply.

"The empress dowager's bones are not cold, but you actually intend to steal the country, have you ever been worthy of the empress dowager?!"

The Twelve Princes simply stopped pretending, and proudly said: "It is you who are disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, and you should be punished for disrespecting the Empress Dowager!"

"Who else dares to disobey the order? This king is in front of the empress dowager today, and the Qing emperor is on his side." Then he turned his head and pulled the young emperor to his side, with a generous and benevolent look, "Zhe'er is not afraid, the emperor is here Let's see who dares to make a mistake today!"

The young emperor's palms and back felt cold, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

The eldest princess Xiao Yunji's cold eyes were still unmoved, and her calmness was terrifying.

Seeing that King Ying was still in control of the situation, most of the officials were worried about the safety of their family members, so they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out.

Su Wunian, who was in the mourning team, looked around. Sure enough, these imperial guards were all new faces, who were secretly replaced by Xiao Yuanying.It's just that until now, why haven't I seen him—the regent Situ Xuanyan.

Su Wunian originally guessed that after her death, the first person who lost her composure and took the opportunity to seize power and assist the government should be the regent Situ Xuanyan.Now in Qingyuan Kingdom, the person who has the power of less than one person and more than ten thousand people is Situ Xuanyan, but today the palace changed, and he didn't show up.

Could it be that it is quietly dormant somewhere, with the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind?

As long as he appears and stretches out his hand to seize the imperial power, he can be eliminated in a fair and just manner today!
But if he was really a spy of Nanchen Kingdom, and Qingyuan Kingdom fell into Xiao Yuanying's hands and became a mess, he couldn't wish for it, so naturally he wouldn't come forward to stop it.Maybe, it will secretly contribute to the flames.

"King Ying, you forced Xueshi Liu to death and massacred officials for no reason. The act of stealing the country is obvious. As the king of Zhen, I will clean up the thief for the empress dowager today!" King Zhen walked forward with his chest upright on crutches. One step, only to hear the crutches slamming to the ground, with a sound of "Hang--", the deep internal force spread out, lifting the hem of his black robe, and the blue hair fluttered.

The air of killing and cutting clouded his body, and the ruthless eyes made people feel cold.

The Twelve Princes were frightened by the murderous aura and shrugged slightly, subconsciously pulled the young emperor to stand in front of him, and explained: "King Zhen, this king is following the secret order of the empress dowager, not stealing the country, you misunderstood."

"The evil deeds are obvious, and you dare to quibble, even if the king dies today, I will definitely stop you from plotting to rebel and steal the country!"

The Twelve Princes took a step back in fright, and pressed the young emperor's shoulders, "What's the matter? The King of Zhen also wants to resist the order?"

In order to strengthen his courage, he resentfully said: "Even if you once galloped on the battlefield and were invincible, but now you are just a lame lingering, if you resist today, you will surely die."

A group of guards quickly surrounded the king of Zhen, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. Everyone admired the loyalty of the king of Zhen, but at the same time worried about the safety of the king of Zhen.After all, the king of Zhen had already passed his fate, he lost a leg more than ten years ago, and he had never been on the battlefield again. He is old, but his sword is still old.

Sui Qing was so frightened that she lay on the ground like a puddle of ooze, trembling softly, "Miss, we... we are all going to die here, right?" The mere little maid in the back house has never seen such a big scene of power grabbing life and death.

And Su Wunian was as calm and steady as Mount Tai, as if these scenes had long been common to her.

But even though she has already experienced more cruel and bloody battles for imperial power, it is her only elder brother who is in crisis, so she is inevitably worried.

If the Empress Dowager Su is at the pinnacle of power, her only weakness is her elder brother.

"The king of the town resists the decree and does not respect it, and he will be killed without mercy!" The Twelve Princes put their arms around the young emperor and gave an order.

The guards surrounding King Zhen drew their swords together and pointed their bright blades at King Zhen.

"Damn it! Whoever dares to point the knife at King Zhen today, I will kill him first!" General Xuanwei Chu Yijing kicked away the guard standing in front of him, and only heard the sound of the guard's bone breaking, He curled up in a corner, unable to get up again.

Seeing this, the guards turned their blades over and aimed at General Xuanwei.

King Zhen and General Xuanwei looked at each other and smiled, with no fear on their faces, just like when they fought side by side back then, the eyes were full of tacit understanding.

"General Chu, don't you want to disrespect even you?! If you retreat now, I will spare you." The Twelfth Prince finally showed his fierce face. After all, the overall situation is under his control, so there is no need to be afraid anyone.Today, whoever he wants to die must die.

"King Ying, the authenticity of the decree you brought is doubtful. Why did Liu Yuan, a Hanlin scholar, bump into the dragon pillar and beg to die? You know it well. Now that the empress dowager's body is not cold, you aim the blade at the king of Zhen. It's too ugly !"

"Even if you succeed in stealing the country today and killing all the loyal ministers, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the world!"

The Twelve Princes sneered unscrupulously, "General Chu disrespects the order, kills without mercy!"

"Yes!" Another large group of guards came and surrounded General Chu and King Zhen.

No weapons are allowed in the palace. King Zhen and General Chu are both unarmed. King Ying intends to kill chickens and monkeys, but King Zhen and General Chu are both veterans in the battlefield. They quickly grabbed the long swords from the guards and started fighting.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the Palace of Bliss, and the guards fell down one by one.The faces of all the surrounding officials were ashen, and they did not dare to move rashly. The family members of the controlled officials shrank into a ball, and even the timid ones fainted from fright.

However, there were a large number of guards, and the King of Zhen had only one leg, so he was soon injured and gradually lost.General Chu was at a loss for doppelgängers, so he had to watch King Zhen get injured.

"Uncle Twelve Emperors, Empress Mother treated you well during her lifetime. Now you are blood staining the Palace of Bliss, making Empress Mother unable to rest in peace after death. Can you be worthy of Empress Mother?" The young emperor Xiao, who was held down by the Twelfth Prince's strong arm, could not move. Yun Zhe spoke righteously and solemnly.

The Twelfth Prince leaned over and listened, and said in a low voice: "She is not your biological mother. After all, you are just a pawn in her power. Do you think about her? Do you know that the death of your biological mother, Concubine Rou, has something to do with her?"

The young emperor Xiao Yunzhe's clear eyes darkened slightly, his fists in his sleeves were clenched tighter and tighter, he pursed his lips and said coldly: "The King of Zhen is an orphan's uncle, if you hurt him, Gu will definitely pay with your blood."

"Uncle? He is the empress dowager's brother. He regarded your biological mother as an enemy. If you treat her as your uncle, they may not treat you as your nephew." The Twelfth Prince mocked.

The king of Zhen was injured in many places, and there were so many guards that he couldn't stand it anymore. His crutches were kicked away, and the wrist holding the knife was slashed. With a sudden kick, he was kicked to the front of Su Wunian's tablet, and the blood from his mouth was sprayed on On the tablet and the coffin of golden nanmu.

elder brother...

Su Wunian quietly clenched her fists in her sleeves, her nails almost dug into the flesh of her palms, turning white in bursts.

The young emperor looked abnormal and remained motionless.Could it be that he chose to sacrifice the town king?
In today's situation, the elder brother is more dangerous than good. When he escaped from Wangchuan Qiu, Su Wunian secretly swore that no matter when and where in this life, he will protect his elder brother until he grows safe.

But at this moment, she is just the daughter of a mere prime minister, a commoner with no power or influence.

What should be done, since the eldest brother can be safely rescued from Twelve's hand?Can you still clean up Twelve without letting the world doubt your identity?
The guards didn't give him any chance to breathe, raised their knives and surrounded him, at the critical moment.
