Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

The sky outside was foggy, and the rain slid over the eaves and fell to the ground, adding to the irritability.

The three-day deadline is approaching, and everyone in the court is harboring evil intentions, and the undercurrent is surging.

In the Hall of Yangxin, the emperor was approving the memorial with his brows furrowed and saying the word Sichuan.

Looking at the book that originally advised him to be cautious about getting married, the emperor snorted coldly, threw down the pen in his hand, and whispered in a deep voice, "They are just a bunch of losers who can only talk a lot!"

"Zhang De."

Hearing the emperor calling his name, Zhang De hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and whispered, "I'm here, my servant."

"Ask Concubine Xiao to come and see me." The emperor's face was gloomy and his tone was quite impatient. "The Xiao family jointly submitted a letter. Are they going to rebel?"

Zhang De lowered his head angrily and said in a thin voice, "Your Majesty, there is news from Qile Palace that Concubine Xiao suddenly had a high fever. She ordered someone to send a message two days ago to remove the sign."

"Sick?" The emperor paused, a trace of suspicion flashed across his face, "She got sick at the right time."

Zhang De smiled awkwardly and comforted in a low voice, "The Ninth Princess went to Turks to get married. Concubine Xiao was naturally reluctant to leave her. She was so frightened that she inevitably contracted the cold."

"It's all about women!" The emperor snorted loudly and pushed aside the pile of things piled up in front of him. "It is their responsibility to relieve the country's worries."

"That's what the emperor said." Zhang De lowered his head and did not dare to refute a word.

"That's all." The emperor sighed softly and dropped his hands on his knees. "The weather is different today. Please pass on the message and we won't turn over the sign tonight."

Zhang De's eyes flashed and he responded softly, "Yes."

  Yikun Palace

There were three people sitting in the room. The one at the top was Queen Zhu, who was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. On the right was Fang Xu, who had been summoned to the palace early. On the other side was Concubine Xiao, who Zhang De said was sick and could not even get out of bed.

"Xiao Xu..." Queen Zhu's face turned pale, her fingertips tangled together, "Is the news outside true?"

Fang Xu nodded lightly, although his face was not visible, his palms were already wet, "Last night, Xie Li brought back news that the eldest prince's soldiers had gathered in Lingshan on the outskirts of Beijing, and spies were here. The message is that we will take action tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xiao shook her body and asked in a low voice, "Have they made arrangements for the fourth prince?"

Fang Xu's eyes were light and there was no emotion in his tone, "Xie Li told me that they are [-]% sure this time."

"Isn't it that there is still [-]% left?" Xiao Guifei clenched her fists, panic flashed across her face, "The Xiao family has suppressed all their wealth and life..."

"Who doesn't risk everything?" Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at her faintly, "As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger. Now that the enemy is showing up and we are hiding, the chance of winning is even greater."

Concubine Xiao bit her lower lip and slowly lowered her head. She couldn't help but picture Yuan Mi's innocent and cute appearance in her mind.

Queen Zhu lowered her expression, suppressed the fear in her heart, and asked softly, "Has everything been arranged in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?"

Fang Xu hummed slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, my dear, my sister will take care of everything."

"Where is Concubine Xiao?" Queen Zhu glanced sideways at the woman looking down and lowered her voice, "Have Xiao Jiu been arranged?"

Concubine Xiao nodded numbly and whispered, "I have already sent Xiao Jiu out of the palace."

After hearing this, Queen Zhu's heart dropped a little. She glanced at the half-opened window and looked at the dead trees in the yard, feeling a little chilled in her heart.

  It was getting late, and I don't know if I noticed something strange. There were only a few people in the palace corridor where people used to come and go.

Outside the imperial city, the soldiers were about to close the palace door, but suddenly they noticed that the ground was shaking slightly.

The deafening sound of horse hooves mixed with the cries for help from many people came from a distance. The soldiers raised their eyes and saw only a group of people and horses running towards this direction.

The dust and sand are rolling, and those who look at it are frightened.

The soldier's eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Yes..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was shot into the chest by an arrow from the leading man. "Commanders, follow me in the charge to destroy the treacherous minister Sui Yin and protect the great power of Yan!" Yuan Chi raised his long bow and shouted.

"Destroy the treacherous ministers and clear the emperor's side!"

The rebels behind raised their swords in support, and their roars filled the sky.

Yangxindian

Zhang De rushed into the room and raised his voice, "Oh no, Your Majesty, the eldest prince has rebelled!"

The emperor, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, shuddered and suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the person with eyes that were about to burst, "What did you say!"

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has rebelled!" Zhang De looked panicked, with fear in his eyes, "We have already reached the palace gate!"

"That's ridiculous, do you think I'm just a decoration?" The emperor slapped the table and stood up, shouting loudly, "Go to Song Fei and ask him to capture Yuan Chi to see me!"

Zhang De wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, General Song is gone..."

The emperor paused, then turned pale, and shouted in a low voice, "Then go and differentiate between people!"

"……Yes."

Zhang De bravely rushed out and didn't come back for a long time.

Yuan Chi was well prepared and caught the emperor off guard.

The melee continued, countless soldiers fell to the ground, cries and groans echoed in the palace, and corpses wrapped in remnants of clothing were everywhere.

In the Yikun Palace, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.

When the cry for help reached his ears, Fang Xu looked stern and whispered, "Here he comes!"

Concubine Xiao stood up suddenly, her eyes full of panic, "It's coming...it's really coming!"

"Xiao Xu." Queen Zhu stood up and her eyes fell on Fang Xu, mixed with emotions that others could not understand.

Fang Xu saw the sadness in her eyes and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Madam. The Fourth Prince's people are guarding not far from the palace. As long as we hide in the palace, nothing will happen."

Queen Zhu nodded, her eyes flickering, "You two come with me."

Fang Xu looked puzzled, but he still stood up obediently and followed her, not forgetting to pull away the frightened Concubine Xiao.

Queen Zhu walked quickly to the inner hall, opened the quilt on the bed, and exposed the groove inside. With her fingertips, the wooden shelf not far away moved away.

"This..." Fang Xu looked at the secret voice that suddenly appeared, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "The Queen..."

"I thought it was useless." Queen Zhu pushed the two of them and said softly, "Both Lin Sheng and Grandma Chang know this place. Let's hide in quickly and hold on until Chen'er comes over."

When Fang Xu heard this, he didn't show any pretense and pulled Concubine Xiao to follow her.

Concubine Xiao looked pale and allowed Fang Xu to pull her away.

Fang Xu glanced at her, feeling helpless and funny, "My Lady, you are the queen of the generals after all, how come you are not as courageous as me?"

"Does a general have to be bold?" Concubine Xiao came to her senses, but her expression had not yet calmed down. "I have been raised as a concubine since I was a child. I have never touched a gun or a bat. How can I compare with your wife?" ?”

Fang Xu shook his head, laughed, and quickly walked into the darkroom.

The darkroom is not big, it can only accommodate about five people, and it is not soundproof. You can hear the sound of swords clashing outside even if you are huddled in it. (End of chapter)
