Jiaochu

Seeing Huo Xuan betraying him, the high priest looked shocked and wanted to run away, but Huo Xuan kicked up a saber from the ground and hit him on his leg, knocking him to his knees.

Seeing the signal bomb being released, the Anqing Marquis Mansion and the Wang family's forces acted quickly and started fighting outside the palace gate. They heard that someone was revolting, and the streets were full of chaos. Every household closed its doors tightly and could not leave the house.

The fighting inside and outside the palace was so intense that one party surrendered and was no longer able to fight back. Only then did the rebellion subside. It was already evening.

The Marquis of Anqing captured the Wang family and his son alive, and Huo Xuan led people to surround the queen's palace. All the palace maids and eunuchs inside fled, except for the palace maid named Man'er.

"How brave! How dare you break into the queen's palace without permission? Are you going to rebel?" Man'er stood at the door and asked.

Huo Xuan replied: "The minister is here to report to the emperor that the rebels have been captured. It's a pity that the emperor is gone. I also ask the emperor to move to the royal study to discuss the candidate for the new emperor."

Ye Sirou walked out from inside, her phoenix robe spread on the ground, her makeup was exquisite, her forehead was decorated with mother-of-pearl flowers, and her fingers were dyed with red hair. The golden hairpin on her head was lifelike, the phoenix on the hairpin head seemed to be flying, and her eyes were even more vivid. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the soldiers in the yard were shocked the moment they walked out.

"Lead the way."

Huo Xuan made a gesture of invitation and said to Man'er, "If you stay, remember to water my flowers." Man'er nodded with tears in her eyes. When she left with Huo Xuan, Man'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed. deliver.

The Wang family father and son were kneeling outside the imperial study room. The guards held swords against their necks, describing themselves as miserable. When Huo Xuan brought Ye Sirou over, the Wang family and his son hurriedly asked her for help. She sighed softly and said, "Succeed as king or lose as bandit. I can't protect myself, so how can I save you." Huo Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle. Don't worry, after all, our two families are in-laws, how can we kill them all? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. As long as the new king is determined, there will still be places to rely on my uncle, second brother and third brother."

After entering the imperial study, Ye Sirou saw that Anqing Hou and Li Fei were there, and said straight to the point, "What do you want me to do? Just tell me." Li Fei smiled and said, "It's already at this time, and your empress is still so calm. It's really inspiring. I admire you." Huo Xuan said, "Second sister, the emperor is no longer here, why are you jealous." Concubine Li rolled her eyes at him, Anqing Hou spoke, and both siblings fell silent.

"The emperor has neglected government affairs in recent years, indulged in beauty, corrupt officials have run rampant and tyrannized, and the people have no life. If this continues, I, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, will perish."

Ye Sirou walked to the dragon chair, put her hand on it, and said, "Who does the Marquis want to sit on this chair?"

Concubine Li stepped forward, touched her belly and said, "I won't hide it from you. I am already two months pregnant."

"I see." Ye Sirou curled her lips and smiled, "Then there must be a boy in your belly, what if it's a princess?"

"It must be the prince." Concubine Li said firmly.

Marquis Anqing said: "I also ask the empress to write an edict to confer the title of Crown Prince."

"Now that I have written it, does it mean that I don't have to keep it?" Ye Siju said. Marquis Anqing said: "Your Majesty understands the great righteousness. If you can protect your young master, I will be very grateful."

Ye Sirou sneered twice, "Okay, I'll write it, but it depends on whether you guys take over." Her eyes turned cold, the lights in the imperial study suddenly went out, and soon the panicked voices of soldiers came from outside, Shouting that there is a ghost, there is a ghost. Li Fei turned pale with fright and fainted to the ground. Huo Xuan took out the candle and lit it. Ye Sirou was no longer beside the dragon chair. He lit the candle again and poked a small hole in the window paper to check the situation outside. The next moment, his pupils trembled, as if he saw something very strange. A horrific sight.

"Dad, what a ghost, those dead people are alive."

Huo Xuan swallowed, her scalp numb as she looked at the strange scene outside. An Qinghou had just helped Li Fei, who was unconscious on the ground, to a chair. When he heard that the dead had come back to life, his veins jumped and he asked Huo Xuan to take Li Fei away immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xuan broke out of the window and kicked away the dead man who was raising his sword to attack the Wang family and his son. Seeing the bloody dead people come to life, the Wang family and his son were frightened and their faces turned pale. Not a trace of blood.

Huo Xuan covered the three people and hid in the imperial study. Anqing Hou said that these living dead were afraid of fire. Huo Xuan immediately tore down the tent in the imperial study and lit it with fire sticks, then rushed out to drive away these living dead. Anqing Hou asked the Wang family and his son what was going on. , did he imitate Concubine Yao a hundred years ago and use witchcraft to sacrifice to the evil god? The second and third sons of the Wang family had no idea. Wang Weicai swore to God that he would never sacrifice to the evil god. He hesitated in his words and concealed something. The Marquis of Anqing slapped the table. , he put the blame on the high priest, saying that he became like this only after taking the elixir given by the latter.

During the chaos during the day, the high priest took the opportunity to escape. Now it was too late to arrest him and question him clearly.

The tent was almost finished burning, so Huo Xuan asked his men to go in and pull out another piece of the tent, shouting loudly, "Dad, how can you kill this thing?" Anqing Hou replied, "It will be fine until dawn." Huo Xuan saw the living dead. He quickly climbed up to the roof from both sides, avoiding the light of the fire. The speed was weird, and he was on all fours like a wild beast. He thought that he might not be able to wait until dawn, so he threw the burning tent aside to block one side. Fly to the roof to stop the living dead who are trying to tear down the roof.

Hearing the sound of clicking from above, dust flew down, and the pieces of glazed gold tiles were either trampled to pieces or thrown to the ground and fell to pieces. A pair of strange eyes suddenly appeared in the exposed gaps, and the Wang family father and son were Scared out of his wits, Anqing Hou also looked surprised. He saw that the eyes were all black, without the whites of the eyes. Li Fei had just woken up, and when she suddenly saw such a pair of black eyes, she was so frightened that she fainted again.

"Dad, I can't stop it anymore, what should I do?!" Huo Xuan shouted loudly.

Marquis Anqing was at his wits' end and looked at the candlelight beside him, as if he wanted to burn both jade and stone together.

With a clang, a figure rolled down from the roof, and the living dead swarmed around him. Huo Xuan thought to herself that she would not survive. Her only regret was that she had not yet married a wife. Rather than being bitten to death by this group of lunatics, it would be better to commit suicide on her own. , he was about to give himself a good time, when suddenly there was the sound of flute. These living dead seemed to be restrained by the sound of flute, and their movements became sluggish.

Huo Xuan was overjoyed that reinforcements had arrived. He took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement like a carp and reached the flute player.

Under the restraint of the sound of the flute, the opponent's movements became slower and slower, and the strange black eyes suddenly began to twist. If you look closely, what was twisting was the dense black lines inside, extending from around the eyelids to the pupils, so the whole eyes looked like Without the whites of his eyes, he looked particularly weird and horrified, and those weird black lines were slowly forced back by the sound of the flute.

However, at this time, the sound of the flute came again. The sound of the flute was deep and strange, causing those black lines to extend again. The sound of the flute and the sound of the flute competed with each other, one ebbing and the other ebbing.
