Chapter 1040 That gorgeous firework
"You also have the late emperor's edict? Impossible!"

The sinister and rampant smile slowly solidified on King Li's cold face. This situation was far beyond his expectation.

"In this world, nothing is impossible. You can make a comeback against the wind. Can't I have the late emperor's edict in my hands?"

Chen Keyan sneered, turned her head slightly, and looked at Bi'er beside her: "Please come out with the late emperor's edict."

"Yes." Bi'er took out a scroll from a package close to her body, unfolded it with a pop, and showed it to her ministers and soldiers.

The ministers took a closer look, and immediately danced with excitement:

"This... this is really the late emperor's handwriting! There is no mistake! There is also the jade seal below, and there is no problem at all. The late emperor's edict, this is the real late emperor's edict!"

"Look at the contents of this edict - Your Majesty personally confessed that the throne will be passed on to... Her Royal Highness Princess Wu!"

"There's more to come. The late Emperor said here: We can't rule out the possibility that someone with sinister intentions may take advantage of me being bedridden and unconscious to induce or force me to write a last resort 'edict'!"

"The late emperor said that those edicts are all fake, and only the edict in the hands of Her Royal Highness is the original intention of the late emperor!"

"The entire Nanchen, no matter ministers or soldiers, everyone in the world must obey the arrangements of Her Highness the Princess. Anyone who disobeys the order...will be killed!"

"..."

opposite.

King Li, as well as the ministers and soldiers behind King Li, were already furious after hearing these words, and shouted loudly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Keyan looked calm. After the other party finished venting, she waved her hand: "Send the real edict over and let them take a closer look."

"Yes." A soldier took the imperial edict, held it in both hands, and trotted towards King Li's camp.

"You are all veterans of my court. You should recognize the handwriting of the late emperor, so please take a closer look to see if this is the imperial edict written by the late emperor himself!"

Chen Keyan continued to say calmly:
"Please think about it carefully. Since the late emperor fell ill, I have been by the late emperor's side all the time and taken care of him with all my heart. Besides, I was also the one who the late emperor loved most during his lifetime."

"On the other hand, King Li committed rebellion twice, and then he was stripped of his royal title and placed under house arrest. The late emperor was extremely disappointed with King Li!"

"While the late emperor was ill, King Li never stepped foot into the palace! He never fulfilled his filial piety as a son."

"Everyone, please think carefully. Under such circumstances, does the late emperor trust me more? Or does he trust King Li who is under house arrest?"

"..."

Chen Keyan had just finished speaking, and the late emperor's edict had been sent to the judges and rebels.

Take turns presenting them.

"This... is indeed the late emperor's handwriting, there is no mistake!" One of the judges exclaimed, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Really...how is this possible?"

"Look, if the content of this edict is as they said just now..."

"Hiss...what's going on? Why are there two copies of the late emperor's edict?"

"One of them must be fake, but...it's hard to tell!"

"Everyone, what Princess Wu said just now..."

King Li stood in front of the formation, listening to the heated discussions of the ministers behind him, his face gradually darkened, he stared at Chen Keyan opposite, and sneered:

"Sharp teeth! Strong words! Confusing right and wrong! The crime cannot be forgiven!"

Chen Keyan was not frightened at all, and stared sharply at King Li opposite him, but she was speaking to the judges and rebels behind King Li:
"I believe that many of you were deceived by the fake edict in the hands of King Li and chose to follow the traitor."

"Now, the truth has been revealed. The edict in my hands is the real one. You have just seen it with your own eyes."

"As long as you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will definitely forget the past. After the traitors are eradicated and I ascend the throne, you all will be the heroes of the dragon!"

As soon as Chen Keyan finished speaking.

Immediately, dozens of soldiers defected and joined her camp.

Someone took the lead, and others immediately followed, including many ministers... For a time, the number of soldiers on Chen Keyan's side increased to more than two hundred.

But there were nearly 400 soldiers behind King Li.

Fully twice as long as Chen Keyan.

King Li did not stop him, and finally looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "No matter how hard you try, you can't disobey God's will in the end. I have twice as many people as you, so how can you resist?"

Chen Keyan was secretly anxious.

What she just did was indeed to delay time.

I hope Su Xian outside the city will notice something strange and send troops to rescue him.

However, because Nanchen's only super expert, the Commander of the Dark Guards, once helped King Li, it is foreseeable that the spies secretly arranged by Su Xian will be quietly removed by the Commander.

And King Li's people controlled the entire palace city. The soldiers who defended the city all defected in the face of battle, so there was nothing unusual about the appearance...

At the moment, what Chen Keyan can do is to delay as much time as possible so that Su Xian can notice something unusual...such as the spy not returning for a long time.

Just when Chen Keyan was racking his brains and thinking of ways to continue delaying time, King Li on the opposite side suddenly turned cold and ordered loudly: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order, eradicate the rebels, clean up the traitors, and capture Chen Keyan for me." !Kill to me!"

All the soldiers immediately accepted the order and rushed over with their spears drawn.

In the huge square in front of Fengtian Palace, loud shouts of killing suddenly rang out.

On Chen Keyan's side, the soldiers were also mobilized.

The two armies were immediately entangled. The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of sharp blades entering the body, and the screams before death... resounded throughout the sky and could not be heard without interruption.

The war that has been brewing for a long time has finally begun!
This bloody battle was very cruel and very important.

Because, after this battle, the victorious party will ascend to the throne of Nanchen and control the highest power in Nanchen.

The ministers were trembling with fear and retreated one after another, but the fighting situation was so exciting that some ministers did not retreat in a hurry and died directly under the random gunfire of the soldiers.

The ministers who were lucky enough to escape had their bodies and faces spattered with blood. The blood belonged to the soldiers, but they looked shocking and terrifying.

At the gate of Fengtian Hall.

The two noble concubines had helped each other and left.

Walking in front of Emperor Chen's body, he knelt on the futon and silently burned the paper money.

Their faces were sad, with crystals hanging from the corners of their eyes. The light from burning paper money kept flickering, making their faces uncertain.

Fuck each other!

This is what Emperor Chen least expected to see before his death!

As Emperor Chen's concubines, they naturally knew what Emperor Chen was thinking.

But now... just after Emperor Chen died, the tragedy of fighting between his roommates actually happened, and it also happened in front of the Fengtian Hall where Emperor Chen died.

Chen Di, who just passed away, is still alive!
If you saw this scene in the sky, would you be so angry that you would vomit blood?

The two noble concubines felt sad about this.

Of course, they were also worried about Chen Keyan's future. After all, King Li had more men and controlled the entire palace, while Chen Keyan only had a mere two hundred soldiers.

The concubines, eunuchs and maids who were hiding behind Emperor Chen's body also came out of their hiding places after seeing this, followed the two noble concubines, knelt in front of Emperor Chen's spirit, or burned paper money, or clasped their hands and closed their eyes to pray.

Emperor Chen, after all, is a generation of emperors.

His mourning hall should remain solemn and solemn.

But what makes people feel ironic is that outside the mourning hall, hundreds of soldiers are fighting in blood, and the tragic sounds are transmitted into the mourning hall, continuing to disturb Emperor Chen's purity.

Moreover, this is still fighting for the throne.

The people kneeling in front of Chen Diling, burning paper money and praying, were unable to stop the fighting outside. They could only watch this scene happen...

The queen didn't move.

Still standing at the gate of Fengtian Hall, leaning against the door frame, silently observing the situation of the battle.

Seeing that King Li had the upper hand, the queen felt relieved, and a cruel smile appeared on her lips. Then she turned her head and glanced at the two noble concubines kneeling in front of Chen Diling.

Her eyes were fierce and sharp, and she whispered secretly:
"Let you bitches live in peace for a while. After my son kills your bitch daughter and seizes the throne, I will come back and settle the accounts with you slowly!"

In the square in front of the main hall.

The war remains.

However, the sound of shouting and killing was a little weaker than before.

This is mainly because more and more soldiers are falling to the ground, rivers of blood are flowing, and the total number of soldiers has been reduced.

Chen Keyan's side was inevitably in crisis and was surrounded by dangers. She originally only had more than two hundred soldiers, but after the two armies fought for a while, there were only less than a hundred soldiers left.

King Li had a large number of people. Even though the casualties were also very heavy, he still had more than [-] soldiers. The advantage in numbers was not easy to make up for.

Facing the one-sided situation, Chen Keyan looked gloomy and immediately took the two maids Jian'er and Bi'er to join the battle group and try to delay as much time as possible.

The battle is stalemate!

There are fewer and fewer people in Chen Keyan.

Her body was also splattered with blood. Although it was all from the enemy, she still looked shocking and slightly embarrassed.

70 people!
50 people!
30 people!
Gradually, there are only 30 people left on Chen Keyan's side!

These thirty soldiers were carefully selected by her from the secret guards. They were all masters, but in the end they were still defeated by King Li's hundreds of men.

They formed a circle, fighting and retreating.

Seeing that the victory was in hand, King Li couldn't help but laugh up to the sky with a very proud look on his face. He kept ordering his soldiers to charge and kill, with the intention of going all out to kill Chen Keyan and his party.

Finally, Chen Keyan retreated to the pergola in front of the main hall.

In the chaos, she was knocked down by a soldier from the side, her body flew straight back, and landed heavily, smashing the tables, chairs and some wooden boxes in the pergola to pieces.

"Princess!"

The two maids Jian'er and Bi'er were horrified. They hurriedly abandoned their enemies, turned around and rushed to Chen Keyan's left and right sides, and slowly helped her up.

King Li happened to see this scene, his heart moved, he waved his hand, raised his voice and shouted: "Stop!"

The rebels immediately stopped charging and took a step back, but they surrounded Chen Keyan and others layer by layer, pointing at them with piercingly cold spear points dripping with blood.

At this time, there were less than thirty people around Chen Keyan.

Just now, several good soldiers were entangled by the rebels and stabbed to death with random guns.

On the other hand, King Li still has more than two hundred soldiers left!
The situation is clear.

In King Li's view, it was only a matter of time before Chen Keyan and others were completely eradicated, so he urgently called off the generals.

Then, he was seen walking like a tiger, separated from the soldiers, walked to the inside of the encirclement, faced Chen Keyan directly, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:

"Since ancient times, the winner has been the king and the loser, Chen Keyan, what else do you have to say?"

Although Chen Keyan was not injured, she was covered in blood and in a very embarrassed shape, especially when compared with King Li who was dressed up in costume, the difference was even greater.

She bit her lips tightly and did not speak, her eyes were full of sternness, giving the appearance of fighting to the end.

But in fact, she was despairing. In this situation, even if Su Xian noticed something unusual and immediately sent troops to rescue, it would probably be too late.

Because Miyagi is still in the hands of King Li.

If the gate of a palace city is not open, it is like an iron barrel, not so easy to break.

"Did it just fail like this?"

Chen Keyan asked secretly in her heart: "I have planned this matter for so many years and spent countless energy and effort, but in the end... it still failed completely?"

Not reconciled!
She is very unhappy!
But, there is nothing we can do!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

King Li seemed to have read through her thoughts, he looked up to the sky and smiled, then clenched his fists, his face was ferocious, and he howled with resentment and excitement:

"I have sacrificed so much and waited for so long. I even thought that I would never have a chance to be crowned king again in this life... But who would have thought, hahahaha!"

"The sky has eyes! I am the final winner! The throne belongs to me! You traitors and traitors, all of you, please disappear from the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a female voice followed closely: "My son is doing well!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was the queen in front of the gate of Fengtian Palace.

King Li was shocked. He immediately left Chen Keyan and others and rushed to the Queen. He respectfully said, "My son, I have seen my mother. Queen... why are you so haggard!"

"The sufferings I have endured are all worth it. As long as I can see my son ascend the throne, I will be willing to die immediately!" The queen had tears in her eyes.

"Mother, please rest assured that your sons and ministers will be able to protect you, and my mother will live a long life."

The queen nodded, straightened her back, turned around slowly, looked at the two concubines kneeling in front of Emperor Chen's mourning hall with disdain, and said with a smile: "Some people's dreams of being a queen mother may be shattered!"

The two noble concubines helped each other to get up, wiped away tears, walked to the queen, knelt down and begged: "Please show mercy to the queen and spare Yan'er's life. We are willing to follow the late emperor..."

The queen snorted coldly and ignored it.

King Li had a cold face and said with a sad smile: "Chen Keyan, King Tian and others have committed rebellion and disturbed the purity of the late emperor. They have committed a capital crime and cannot be forgiven!"

"But you two are the widows of the late emperor, so they can still survive in this world, because the tomb of the late emperor, as well as the tombs of Chen Keyan and Prince Tian, ​​still need to be cleaned by you personally!"

"Do not……"

The two noble concubines cried heartbrokenly and begged.

But the Queen and King Li ignored it and just sneered from the sidelines.

outside the hall.

Among the pergola.

Chen Keyan listened to the pleadings of the two noble concubines, her heart was like a knife, and a line of hot tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, just as she lowered her head to wipe her tears, she suddenly discovered that several small wooden sticks rolled out of the wooden box that she had just fallen and smashed.

Do not!
That's not a small wooden stick, but... the fireworks Su Xian tinkered with a few days ago!

This kind of fireworks can rise very high and explode in the night sky. It is loud and conspicuous and can be used as a "flare".

The fireworks in the wooden box were forced on her by Su Xian to prevent accidents. If there was an accident, she could light the fireworks and call for help.

The situation was critical just now, but I forgot this important matter... Chen Keyan's eyes burst out with light, and she immediately swooped over and picked up three fireworks.

Then take out the fire stick, blow it, and light the fuses of the three fireworks at the same time.

Zizi!

Sparks flew, and the fuse burned extremely fast.

Chen Keyan had a smile on her face, which was full of life.

Immediately, he pointed the three fireworks into the dark night sky and waited for the loud noise to arrive.
