Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

The mighty infantry entered the palace. In front of the infantry were four dark horses.

At the front is the King of Yue in silver military uniform.

On the right side of the King of Yue is the emperor in black military uniform.

Behind the two men were Cui Zhen and Zhao Bojie, who were the subordinates of the King of Yue, wearing dark red military uniforms.

As a rule, when generals arrive at the Shenwu Gate, they have to dismount from their horses and walk. The King of Yue is the son of the late emperor, and he should abide by the laws of the palace. But now, the King of Yue is riding a tall horse, high-spirited, with a sharp look on his face, and he seems not to pay attention to other people at all. As for the Imperial Guards guarding the door, he could kick two of them away with one kick.

Perhaps this was the reason why the forbidden army of Shenwumen had a conflict with the people of King Yue.

But the emperor was traveling with the King of Yue. If the emperor wanted to enter the palace, how could the imperial army dare to stop him?

There must be a reason for this.

After Du Jiyan got dressed, he walked down the steps slowly, and together with all the civil and military officials, knelt outside the long and empty hall to greet the Holy Master.

I haven’t seen the emperor for a long time, and I don’t know how he is doing.

The emperor was lying on his horse, and because he was wearing a mask, his expression could not be seen clearly.

Du Jiyan observed carefully and felt that the emperor did not seem to move.

The King of Yue got off his horse, and Cui Zhen and Zhao Bo both dismounted quickly.

When the King of Yue waved, Cui Zhen and Zhao Bo both carried the emperor and carried him to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

The civil and military officials were a little puzzled.

Wasn't it said that Beiding was in turmoil? I didn't hear that Chen Guo had a great victory. Why did the King of Yue come back? Moreover, he also brought back two of his generals, and even brought infantry into the palace, which was against the rules.

Cui Zhen's father, Cui Yi, the Fourth Grade Heavenly Supervisor Lingtai Lang, looked at his son's dark red back, then looked up at the dim sky, and sighed.

The infantry formed a formation directly outside the palace, holding spears and surrounding the civil and military officials.

Everyone watched secretly, not understanding what happened.

The King of Yue did not have time to rest, so he stood on the high steps of the Taihe Palace. His silver military uniform shone with dazzling glory. The King of Yue spoke condescendingly to everyone: "This time, the foreign tribes from the frontier and King Yelang suddenly attacked Beiding at night, causing the people to be displaced. There were countless casualties. The emperor was concerned about the safety of the people in Beiding and was worried about the situation at the frontier fortress. He went to the frontier fortress to fight in person. As soon as the emperor went there, morale rose greatly. After hard mediation, we finally killed the foreign leader and Ye on the 18th day ago. Prince Lang’s head.”

As soon as the King of Yue finished speaking, the soldiers brought over a black velvet box. When he opened it, there were two human heads inside. They were bloody and their eyes were open with anger. It was hard to tell whose head it was. They were probably the leader of the alien race and Yelang. The king's head, after all, the king of Yue swears by it.

"Now our army has won a great victory and the record is gratifying. We defeated the foreign tribe and Yelang in one fell swoop. The remaining small leaders of the foreign tribe were frightened and surrendered to our army. The land of the foreign tribe belongs to our country, Chen. But King Yelang died. As soon as the news spread, Yelang's country was left without a leader. Prince Yelang personally went to the emperor to plead guilty. He was willing to become a vassal state of Chen State. From now on, he would make an offer every year and cede four more cities to Chen State. "

All the civil and military officials were silent, as if they were listening to a play.

Are they in the same dimension as King Yue?

Why can't they understand what the King of Yue said?

The King of Yue looked up at the turbulent sky. Black clouds were wrapped with lightning and exploded above his head. Large swaths of clouds were airtight, as if they were about to fall on people's shoulders, making them almost breathless.

"Although we have won a great victory now, the emperor was seriously injured. He was seriously injured a few days ago and was dying. The frontier was closed, medical skills were limited, and medicines were limited. I rushed to the capital with the emperor. Unexpectedly, two days ago, the emperor was still I fainted and still haven’t woken up.”

All civil and military officials were shocked.

The emperor was seriously injured?

The emperor fainted?

The emperor can't wake up?

Cui Yi, the Fourth Rank Lingtai Lang of Qin Tian Jian, spoke first: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, these emperors have been in the palace all day, taking care of everything, sleeping hard and sleeping hard at night. During this period, they also delivered the eldest princess to the queen. His Highness the King of Yue said that the emperor went to the frontier to lead the troops and was still subject to He was seriously injured, how can you start talking about this?"

"Yes, His Majesty the King of Yue, the Emperor has come to court early on time. We are all watching."

Du Jiyan's father, Du Zhong, could impeach the emperor or hundreds of officials. The King of Yue was talking nonsense, and Du Zhong didn't believe it: "Your Highness, the King of Yue, the affairs of the Emperor are related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Chen Kingdom. The King of Yue will not How dare you make such a joke."

The King of Yue did not talk nonsense to Eucommia ulmoides, but took out the sword from his waist.

The gleaming sword pressed against the bluestone steps of Taihe Palace, making a rustling and rough friction sound.

All the civil and military officials couldn't help but shrink their heads.

The King of Yue killed countless people and was always known as a desperate man in the Chen Kingdom.

He kills people like crazy on the battlefield. It is estimated that it is easier for him to kill a person than a chicken.

What's more, the heads of the Alien King and Yelang King are still there with their eyes open.

"Call the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the emperor. If the emperor cannot be cured—"

The civil and military officials shrank their necks again.

This time the pressure was on the doctor.

The poor imperial doctors were collectively sent to the Palace of Supreme Harmony before they could figure out what was going on.

The clouds were rolling over the Taihe Palace, as if thunder was about to happen again.

The deputy director of Qintian Prison looked at Cui Yi in fear: "I told the emperor before that thunder in winter is not a good sign. You see, the emperor is now seriously injured and his life or death is uncertain. But it is strange to say that these emperors Why did the King of Yue say that the Emperor went to the border fortress and was injured when he was clearly in the palace?"

Cui Yi shook his head.

The truth is often in the hands of a few people. Nowadays, the truth is in the hands of whoever has a sharp sword. Obviously, the sword of the King of Yue is sharp.

The deputy historian of Qin Tian Jian was about to mutter something again. King Yue walked down the steps directly with his sword in hand. With a flash of sword light, the cold sword was pressed against the neck of the deputy historian of Qin Tian Jian: "Do you have any opinion?"

"Chen Chen." Deputy Shi's face turned pale with fright. When had he, a little weather forecaster, been pointed at with a sword? He was really too panicked: "King of Yue, His Highness, I have no objection."

The King of Yue's sword was pressed against Cui Yi's neck again. Just now, Cui Yi was whispering to the deputy historian, speaking in class, which violated the taboo of the King of Yue. In addition, people in Qintian Prison always like to say auspicious and unlucky words, and the King of Yue disliked them. Noisy, and afraid that they would take the lead in making noise, he simply sacrificed them to the sky: "Cui Yi, do you have any objections?"

"none."

"Very good." There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of King Yue's mouth.

Du Zhong knelt aside and sighed.

Is this still the court of Chen Guo?

What is this trend?

I still remember that a few days ago, because of the winter thunder, the Qin Tian Jian gang forced the emperor to go to the temple to pray. Why are the Qin Tian Jian gang so weak today? The King of Yue just took out his sword to scare them. They were so frightened that their voices lowered a bit. Look at his wretched and submissive manner. Fortunately, he was also the one receiving Chen Guo's salary. It was a disgrace to all civil and military officials.

Now that the emperor is dying, how credible is it that the King of Yue said that the emperor was injured during the war? The throne has been the most popular since ancient times. How many people have done shameful things for the sake of the throne. Fathers, sons, brothers, are all ignored in front of the throne. How do you know that the emperor is not harmed by one of his own? Could the King of Yue be able to get away with it?

Thinking of this time and looking at the domineering look of King Yue, Eucommia ulmoides raised his head high.

The King of Yue sharpened his sword on the bluestone and slowly came to Du Zhong: "Du Aiqing, you seem to have an opinion."

"I have no objection." Eucommia blurted out. The king of Yue looked up to the sky and smiled.

Du Jiyan looked at his father's hopeless appearance and secretly bit his back teeth.

The northwest wind brought dark clouds flying in the air, and winter snow drifted in the air. A layer of white fell on everyone, like sculptures.

Perhaps Du Jiyan was the only woman, and the King of Yue couldn't help but fall on her.

With the dim light of the long sword, the Yue King's eyes were as cold as ice: "Are you the Emperor's concubine Du?"

"Yes."

Among the people, the King of Yue was the emperor's elder brother, and Du Jiyan was considered his younger brother and sister.

But in the palace, although the King of Yue is older, he should be respectfully addressed as Empress Du.

Apparently the King of Yue held his sword and spoke to Du Jiyan as if he was interrogating him. This was disrespectful in a small way, but disobedient in a big way.

"Why are you here?"

Du Jiyan couldn't say that he had been the emperor for dozens of days and had just transformed into a woman, so he would not be chopped into dumpling fillings by the King of Yue. He also felt that the king of Yue was not a good person, and he didn't want him to see any clues, so he said: "I have nothing to do, walking around, and I happened to come here."

"I'm afraid you didn't just happen to come here, but did you do it on purpose?" The King of Yue sneered: "You women always want to be closer to the Taihe Palace and want to meet the emperor by chance. Go back. The emperor needs to recuperate recently and cannot summon his concubines. .”

As soon as the King of Yue finished speaking, two infantrymen raised their spears and guarded him at the foot of the steps, like door gods.

It seems that the King of Yue is going to take care of the Taihe Palace.

Du Jianyan wanted to see the emperor, but the king of Yue was careful and had to give up.

But before leaving, she winked at Gao Rang.

Gao Rang was smart and immediately knelt at the feet of the King of Yue: "Your Highness, the King of Yue, this servant is used to serving the emperor, so let the servant serve the emperor."

"and who are you?"

Gao Rang slowly raised his head: "Has the King of Yue forgotten his servant?"

"you are?"

"The slave is Gao Rang, the eunuch Gao Rang who serves the emperor. In the past, when you, King of Yue, fought crickets with the emperor, my servant served you tea."

"It turns out it's Gao Rang." King Yue looked at Gao Rang's appearance and put the long sword back into its sheath: "Why is your face swollen like this?"

"Damn it, my slave has bad eyesight. He fell while walking at night."

The King of Yue laughed playfully: "So that's it. Since you are used to serving the emperor, then you can go to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to guard him."

The news that King Yue had returned to the city quickly reached Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was feeding the parrots and immediately walked to the door to look forward to it.

Unexpectedly, the King of Yue did not arrive, but a group of infantry came first.

The infantrymen held spears, which were sharp and gleaming white.

An eunuch accidentally almost bumped into a soldier. The soldier pushed him away impatiently and scolded: "You damn eunuch who walks without eyes will get stabbed to death."

The little eunuch was so frightened that he stood against the wall and almost peed his pants.

Two palace maids in pink walked towards them. The soldier directly picked up the palace maid's face with a spear and teased: "Where are you two sisters going? Do you want us to escort them?"

Such greasy and lustful men rarely appeared in the palace. The two palace maids were a little scared and wanted to go away, but the soldier stretched out his arm to block their way: "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine drink, right? Go to the nearby woods and wait. We will be stabbed to death otherwise."

"Bastard." The Queen Mother gritted her molar teeth and said, "These are the soldiers trained by the Emperor, and now they are running wild here."

Aunt Guan saw that the uniforms of the soldiers were different from those of the soldiers in the capital. She was vaguely surprised and said, "Look, these are not the emperor's soldiers. I'm afraid they are the soldiers of the King of Yue."

The Queen Mother and Aunt Guan were just talking, and the soldiers were about to escort the palace maid away.

The Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore and scolded: "You bastards, what kind of place is this, you are allowed to run wild?"

The soldier was carrying a spear and was about to stab the Queen Mother in the heart: "Damn old woman, are you too full to eat? You dare to meddle in my business."

The emperor and the king of Yue did not dare to talk to the queen mother like this.

Aunt Guan was anxious and angry, so she could only stretch out her arms to stop the Queen Mother: "Whatever you do, don't open your dog eyes to see who this is."

"Whoever this damn old woman is, she has to get out of the palace when the time comes." The soldier laughed.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

She has been in the Cining Palace for many years. When did she suffer such a shame and humiliation?

"Poof -" there was a muffled sound, and the leading soldier's body was directly pierced by a spear.

The King of Yue thrust the spear into the soldier's body expressionlessly, and quickly pulled the spear back without waiting for the soldier to turn around. Between thrusts and withdrawals, a big hole was poked in the soldier's body, and blood spurted out and turned red. The bluestone at the entrance of Cining Palace.

The four soldiers who were accompanying him were not able to escape. Each of them had a bloody hole in their body. The soldiers lay on the ground, lifeless in an instant.

"It's okay, mother." The King of Yue tried to help the Queen Mother's arm.

The Queen Mother came to her senses in a daze and twirled the beads in her hand blankly.

The Queen Mother had always known that the King of Yue was a cold-faced prince at the frontier, but this was the first time she saw him murder someone. The few lives that were still alive just now are now lifeless. Is this still her son King Yue? Isn't this the living King of Hell?

The soldiers' blood was steaming outside the Cining Palace. Even after being cleaned, there was still a strong fishy smell.

Aunt Guan smoked enough sandalwood in Cining Palace.

The King of Yue knelt under the east window and saluted the Queen Mother: "I was delayed for some time in the Taihe Palace just now, so I couldn't pay my respects to my mother in time. Please don't be offended, mother."

The Queen Mother lowered her head and said in a weak voice: "Even if he made a mistake, it was a human life after all, not a heinous crime. Qi'er, you..."

"He bumped into his mother, so he deserves to die."

"Qi'er, my mother knows that you are doing it for her own good. But when the late emperor was still alive, he often said that people should be tolerant. How could you just take people's lives casually? Besides, some soldiers did not attack the Ai family. How could you kill them?" Stabbed to death."

"This man deserves to die for disturbing the Queen Mother. Those soldiers who saw him disturbing the Queen Mother can only blame them for their bad luck, and it is useless to keep him." The King of Yue was calm and emotionless.

The Queen Mother felt as if something was stuffed in her heart. It was so stuffy that she felt like she could not breathe.

She was looking forward to King Yue returning to the palace.

Which mother in the world doesn't care about her children?

But why did she feel heartbroken when the King of Yue was right in front of her?
