Stepmother Shaoguang

"King Yan has hidden a lot of private soldiers in Xuewu Street, and the Xiao family! Several streets have been surrounded! Your lord's house has also been surrounded!"

The Habayashi soldier was panting heavily, he finally ran to the inner palace and passed the news in.

Since the saint fell into a coma, the queen mother locked herself in the Buddhist hall for the protection of gods and Buddhas.Hearing the news interrupted by King Yan's rebellion, he was startled and passed out just like that.

The two masters in the palace fainted at once, and there was no leader among the dragons.After a long confrontation, it was already night.

Although it has not yet arrived at the appointed time, the outside of the palace must have acted in advance, and only waited for Zishi to besiege the palace.

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu showed a determined smile on her face: "Hahahahaha, Empress? Your Highness King Qi? Today, I will let you be majestic again. After all, you only have today."

The queen and the king of Qi looked at each other, and it was still the king of Qi who came forward and said to Xiang Shiqun, the commander of the Yulin army: "Master Xiang, we are here, you should go and see the situation outside first."

Xiang Shiqun nodded solemnly: "I will not disgrace my order, and I ask the Empress and His Highness King Qi to control the palace for the time being."

When he said this, he glanced at Concubine Xiao Shu.

Xiang Shiqun followed the Habayashi army who came to report the news, King Qi was very rude, and ordered a few strong nuns to tie up Concubine Shu.

The other princes were all closely followed by their mother and concubine, and they didn't dare to let them leave them.

Concubine Shu's maids are all protecting her, especially the ones brought out from home, they even know how to fight, and they have the fifth prince, they don't dare to hurt easily, they are very difficult to deal with.

After all, no one dared to say that these two could not win tonight.

"King Qi! You insulted the palace people, and now you disrespect your concubine mother. Who dares to call you a saint in this world? This world, this world can only belong to Hao'er!"

Concubine Xiao Shu had never been treated so rudely, and she was still in front of the ministers, so she became angry from embarrassment.

"Bullying the palace people? Concubine Shu's little maid, who is only sixteen years old, just wants to climb into my king's bed. This king will only be fourteen at that time, concubine Shu? This king sent the maid out, and she threw herself into the well If you are dead, what do you have to do with me?"

Since then, there have been rumors that King Qi bullied the palace people.

Those who know the inside story, who doesn't say that King Qi was wronged?
After all, there were so many people, Concubine Shu and the others struggled a few times, but were still tied hands and feet.

The ministers looked at this change in the palace, thinking quickly in their hearts: Can the Habayashi Army hold on?And can the saint wake up?

It's just that the time passed by, the saint didn't wake up, but he waited for the news that the rebels set fire.

Yuning East and West [-]nd Streets were in flames. Although there were servants from the family to put out the fire, they would not be able to put out the fire for a while.

Looking from the inside of the palace, it looks like a fire dragon entrenched here, surrounding the palace.

Everyone knows that this is Yan Wang's demonstration, and the next step is the closer Yuxiang East and West Second Streets.

Most of the ministers in the palace lived in these two places, because they missed their families and were extremely anxious.

"Empress, this." An old official with white beard and hair said.

"Master Wei, don't panic, with the Habayashi army around, the rebels can't make any waves."

The queen recognized him. This person was originally a neutral faction, so he couldn't be more firm, so she could only try her best to appease him.

Concubine Xiao Shu sneered at one side. Although she was tied up, she could still speak. At this time, she deliberately said: "The empress is really optimistic. The Yulin army only has 3000 people. My Xiao family has assembled two thousand border troops. With the help of Lord Shangguan, how can you win?"

This sentence was like a drop of water thrown into a frying pan, and all the officials suddenly became confused: "Shangguan Ge? Is he the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army?"

"Is the Habayashi Army still believable?"

"I'm afraid the Habayashi Army has been assimilated by the rebels long ago!"

"Master Xiang, Lord Xiang, I'm afraid. There will be no return!"

There were chattering discussions everywhere, which made the empress restless, and she did not expect a traitor to appear in the Habayashi army.

"Empress, why don't you let go of Concubine Shu, after all, she is the biological mother of the fifth prince, so it's too shameful."

The balance in some people's hearts is gradually tilted, and there are also those who are bold enough to stand on Concubine Shu's side.

"What did you say? Say it again? She's a regicide!"

"Empress, since the Holy Majesty can't wake up, we should discuss it here. If the saint dies, who will inherit the throne in the future?"

"In my opinion, the fifth prince should be the one with the best aptitude among the princes." The person who said this was originally a supporter of the fifth prince.

The queen glared at him, and said sharply: "I am the master of the middle palace, and the king of Qi born in this palace is the son of the middle palace. There is never any need to discuss the candidate for the heir."

"Pfft, the empress is really naive. Can't you see the current situation clearly? Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. My fifth prince is more popular than King Qi."

Concubine Xiao Shu didn't know when, someone had already untied her secretly, she raised her hand to straighten her slightly messy sideburns, and said in a mocking tone.

Seeing more and more ministers standing on Concubine Xiao Shu's side, the empress and King Qi's expressions became more and more serious.

It's just that King Qi is worried about the battle situation outside the palace.

The rebels around the wall of the Lu Mansion stood in the darkness, like dead souls demanding their lives.

In the eyes of outsiders, the second master Lu Xiaowen can't afford to be injured, the grandpa Guogong is a sick child, and the third master Lu Fengju is an idiot. At this time, the Lu family should be in dire straits.

Inside the wall, He Shaoguang asked the other rooms to stay quietly in his yard, while Lu Mingyan and Lu Mingzhen brothers and sisters were entrusted to the eldest room to take care of them.Before the rebels came, she and Lu Xiaowen avoided everyone and sent the old lady to her mother's brother's house, just in case.

Lu Xiaowen changed into light clothes and turned over from the back wall.

She gathered all her servants and guarded several doors, while the guards left by Lu Xiaowen held short crossbows, hid in trees and dark places on the roof, and secretly aimed at the rebels outside.

It was inconvenient for Lu Xiaowen to come forward, but she thought of another person.

General Xiao Wu, Wu Lingyu.

In the past six months, since they met last time, they occasionally wrote letters, so He Shaoguang also knew that Wu Lingyu had returned to Beijing for a short stay half a month ago, but her father, General Wu, was still staying in Shannan.

She introduced Wu Lingyu to Lu Xiaowen, showing that she could trust her.

Lu Xiaowen took the Tiger Talisman, went to Wu Mansion and handed it to Wu Lingyu in person, with a serious expression: "Miss Wu, this battle is of great importance, Lu believes that you can do it well."

Wu Lingyu raised her chin: "Of course, then please remember that I am General Wu, the one who frightened the Shannan gangsters, not Miss Laoshizi Wu."

Wu Lingyu transferred half of the [-] troops of the Xishan Camp to support the Habayashi Army.

The other half set off overnight with Lu Xiaowen, avoiding places where people live, and set off quietly outside the city to clean up the remaining rebels.
