Stepmother Shaoguang

As far as he knew, the King of Yan still had reservations about Xiao Chongdao, and the rest of the border army went all the way to Beijing with him, and stopped in a village a hundred miles away from the capital, and the King of Yan would clean up after the matter was completed. The Xiao family ascended to the throne by themselves.

And the frontier army oppressed the people here and did a lot of evil.They not only killed the villagers in the village, but also snatched them into the villagers' homes, where they lived and ate.

The villagers were miserable and terrified.

"Shaoguang, guard the mansion, no matter what happens outside, as long as General Wu doesn't come, don't open the door." Lu Xiaowen told her in a deep voice, and handed her a dagger.

"This is...?" He Shaoguang took the dagger, "For my self-defense?"

"Well. If the Lu Mansion is unfortunately compromised, you don't want to be humiliated, so you can use it to kill the other party, as many as you can."

Lu Xiaowen spoke worriedly, but He Shaoguang smiled: "I thought you wanted me to use it to kill myself, so as not to dishonor your Lu family's reputation."

"Nonsense." Lu Xiaowen sighed in a low voice, "If this is the case, I just hope you don't commit suicide. Fame is a foreign thing, and the most important thing is to be alive."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't, I won't let them in." He Shaoguang's eyes sparkled, "You have to go early and come back early."

The personal guards left by Lu Xiaowen are all elite soldiers, one equals five, plus skilled servants, the number is almost a hundred more than the rebels surrounding Lu's residence.

It's just that no matter how stable the military spirit is, there will always be soldiers who flee.

He Shaoguang was checking the weather in the backyard to relieve his inner tension.Suddenly there was a rustling at the base of the wall, and the sound of someone scratching the ground.

Alarm bells were ringing in her heart, thinking that someone outside was digging inside, so she immediately took someone to check.

A black shadow huddled at the base of the wall, saw them coming and ran away, but was caught by the servant: "Which little thief?"

The Huozhezi illuminated his face, and only then did he recognize that it was Lu Hu.

"Second madam, second madam, the little ghost is fascinated, and the little one is really scared, so I want to run away"

His fair face was covered with mud, and his body was shaking like a sieve, obviously he was frightened and stupid.

"He is?" He Shaoguang felt familiar, but he didn't know this person.

"Second Madam, this is Lu Hu, the son of Uncle Yong at the concierge. His hands and feet are not clean on weekdays. Look at the bulging bag in his backpack. He must have packed a lot of good things and sneaked away!"

The person who spoke was angry. It was Taohong's older brother. Taohong was kicked out with a big belly, and later found out that it belonged to Lu Rover, but Lu Rover acted like a normal person.

"You go and see."

Sure enough, a lot of gold and silver utensils and a whole set of jewellery, which were stolen from nowhere.

"Tie it up and hang it on a tree."

She couldn't be soft-hearted, if everyone followed Lu Hu's example of digging holes and escaping, Lu's mansion would be riddled with holes in a short while, so what's the point of guarding?
She must punish Land Rover severely to make an example of others.

Sure enough, the servants who still have plans are much more peaceful. Those who have not been transferred to guard the gate will perform their duties and wait anxiously for news from outside.

The rebels outside seemed to be waiting for an order, and they immediately occupied the Lu Mansion after the leader gave an order.

He Shaoguang held his breath, and could even hear the chaotic fighting on the street.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. I don't know if it was General Xiaowu's people or the rebels?
The sound of horseshoes was chaotic and hurried, and there was a pause at the door for a while, as well as the sound of low-pitched conversation.

He Shaoguang's heart sank a bit, the other party was a rebel, could it be that the Xiao family won?

After a while, it was quiet again outside, and He Shaoguang couldn't help but lie on the crack of the door and peek out.

Before he could put his hand on the handle, there was a knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

He Shaoguang didn't dare to make a sound, nor did he dare to open the door, his hands froze in the air.

The people in the personal guard who were responsible for protecting her became vigilant, put their hands on the hilt of their swords, and were ready to go.

There was another knock on the door, this time accompanied by a hearty female voice: "Second Madam Lu, open the door!"

He Shaoguang's body softened when he heard Wu Lingyu's voice, and he almost collapsed. Zhijun and Nijun supported each other.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "quick, open the door."

After Wu Lingyu and Xiang Shiqun reunited, they fought like a broken bamboo, causing the rebels to retreat steadily, and Shangguange was also beheaded in front of the rebels.

When she came with a group of ten or so people, she came around from the end of the street. At that time, all the rebels outside the gate of the Lu residence were gone.

And the sound of horseshoes that He Shaoguang heard first should be the remnant rebels telling them to evacuate and get out of the city quickly.

"Thank you, General Xiaowu." He Shaoguang held her hand, both of them were sweating.

It turned out that Wu Lingyu only seemed not nervous on the surface.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled under the firelight, and they both saw An Xin in each other's eyes.

"Concubine Shu, do you have anything to say to me?"

The saint is wearing pajamas and a dragon robe, standing on the jade steps in front of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Below the jade steps, everyone knelt together.

The empress and king Qi who were leading were obviously relieved.

Concubine Xiao Shu never imagined that the sage was in a coma for three days, and he was just acting, just to speed up their speed and lure them out.

Although King Qi knew that the sage was just acting, but when the ministers were vacillating between him and the fifth prince, they were still shocked. They didn't know when the fifth prince would force the palace to take over.

The ministers who didn't hold their breath just now were dripping with cold sweat: Those who chose the king of Qi were fine, but those who took the position of the fifth prince were directly thrown into the camp of the rebels. How could the saint tolerate them?

"Just now, who thought that I couldn't wake up, and was in a hurry to make the fifth prince the crown prince?"

The sage asked everyone calmly, but no one dared to answer.

Cong Tianjie stood up, lowered his eyebrows, and reported the names and official positions of the people who spoke for Concubine Xiao Shu and the fifth prince one by one.

"Very well, Prime Minister Cong, just follow this list."

What to do?
The person whose name was reported softened half of his body, and was dragged down by the guards.

And their family members had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, and they were waiting for them.

The rebel army fled, and King Yan fled the city with the rest of his troops, but his whereabouts were unknown.Xiao Chongdao hid in the capital, but there was no one there.

Dali Temple Shaoqing's wife, the Zhu family who was disgusted by He Shaoguang, was also swept away by the typhoon because she fawned over the Xiao family and gave gifts to the Xiao family.

Let Dali Temple Minister be dismissed at the age when he is about to become an official, but fortunately he was not killed.

And his official position vacancy fell on the head of Luo Yunde, who had made great contributions in cooperation this time.

Before Xiao Chongdao was found, Concubine Xiao Shu was given poisoned wine.

For the fifth prince, the sage is soft-hearted after all, even if this son once plotted against him, he just put him under house arrest, locked him in a dilapidated palace, and couldn't come out for life.

And Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan thought she was bound to die, but Zheng Wang stood up and asked for her protection in a warm voice: "Father, the Xiao family kept this matter from the side concubine the whole time, and Yan'er accidentally discovered it before it happened, so He reminded General Lu of this matter, she should have paid for it with merit."
