first princess

Chapter 256: Seeking to usurp the throne (6)
The strong man picked up the stiff Leng Youru and entered the inner room with a smirk.Not long after, there was the sound of ripping clothes from the inner room, and the rest of the people smiled maliciously.

"Boss! Please take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

"She's pregnant, so take it easy! Don't kill me, brothers have nothing to play with!"

"That's right! Boss, you..."

Before the third sentence of ridicule was finished, he froze and fell straight to the ground.Several people turned around at the same time, but they didn't see each other's appearance at all, and were wiped by the sword on the neck.Zhuge Liuyun nodded towards Brother Hao, and strode into the room. At this time, Leng Youru's clothes had been torn, and her snow-white arms and slender legs were all exposed to the cold air. Staring at her beautiful figure...

"Bastard!" Zhuge Liuyun went mad with anger, piercing the opponent with a sword.Leng Youru was so frightened that she closed her eyes and didn't know what happened.Zhuge Liuyun tore down the curtain to cover the corpse on the ground, then took out the clothes from the closet and dressed Leng Youru one by one, and finally hugged her who was shaking non-stop, "Youru, it's me, I am Liuyun."

Leng Youru just opened her eyes, but with an ah, she fell into his arms and cried loudly, and the depression accumulated in her heart was released little by little.

Zhuge Liuyun was distressed and afraid, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was a step late.With Cen'er by her side, he was more at ease, but he thought in his heart that the people who lived in the other courtyard for a long time lacked the necessities of life, and she had a cleanliness habit, and she was not used to ordinary things, so he planned to go back home to get some of her things.He actually didn't know much about the battle at the gate of the city, but he heard the steps of the imperial guards running from the city to the north in a uniform manner. He secretly felt that something was wrong, so he went directly to the other courtyard.Unexpectedly... Cen'er is not here, those people...

Brother Hao walked in, he was not injured, but his right cheek was scratched on the ground, he looked at Leng Youru who was crying like a child, and patted her shoulder lightly.

Zhuge Liuyun touched the wound on Brother Hao's face distressedly, Brother Hao smiled nonchalantly, "It doesn't hurt."

Zhuge Liuyun said softly: "Let's go home."

Leng Youru nodded, she didn't know what to think, she grabbed Zhuge Liuyun's clothes.

Zhuge Liuyun asked: "What's wrong?"

Leng Youru lowered her eyes, "Take Shangguan Qian back to the residence too." The General's residence... probably isn't safe either.

Shangguanqian fetched the bow and arrow, looked at the increasingly thick black air above the palace, bit her finger, dyed the arrow with blood, drew the bow fully, aimed at the cloud of black air and shot it out.

One arrow, one arrow, and another arrow, drawing a gilt-like luster in the dark sky, looking from a distance, it looks like a gorgeous meteor shower.With every arrow she shoots, she grows a bunch of white hair.

The cold wind was blowing in front of her, and her clothes were fluttering, like a passion flower blooming in the ice and snow, with a blazing light, shining brightly.

"Stop, ma'am! Please, I beg you! Don't use the forbidden technique anymore...you will die..." Mama Gong knelt on the cold floor, hugging Shangguan Qian's skirt, crying like rain Down.

Shangguan Qian aimed the arrow in the direction of the palace again.

Gong's mother immediately got up and stopped in front of her with open arms, "If you want to shoot, shoot me first!"

Shangguan Qian shook her head, drew her full bow, and shot one arrow after another towards the top of the palace.

Gong's mother knelt down, hugged her head and cried loudly.

The carriage of the Wangfu slowly drove into the alley, and in a position they could not see, a dilapidated house was cracking every inch of it, and the heavy snow was pressing on the roof, which accelerated the speed of cracking.However, just as it was about to collapse, all the cracks miraculously stopped.When the carriage left the alley, everyone heard a loud bang, and the house collapsed into pieces.Brother Hao opened the curtains, looked at the mess on the ground, and opened his eyes in disbelief, "My God! Fortunately, we walked fast!"

Leng Youru frowned suspiciously, but in fact, they walked very slowly.

After Zhuge Yu received the imperial decree, he rode a bloody horse from the east of the city to Kunshan.The strong wind was like a knife, cutting his skin continuously, his nose and ears were so cold that he lost consciousness, and finally arrived at the Kunshan military base at dawn. He led an army of [-] and hurried back to the capital.

"General! From Kunshan to the capital, Jingyang Road is the closest. If we move forward with all our strength, we can reach the capital tomorrow night, but it has to pass through two canyons. The snow is so heavy, and the subordinates are afraid that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow. If we walk halfway, we will be trapped In the middle of the road, you can't go out for a few days and nights, and it's so cold, everyone may be frozen to death. The other road is the official road from the capital to Youzhou, and you need to bypass a small town. It is conservatively estimated that we will arrive in the capital in seven days." The military adviser pointed to the map and analyzed rationally, "Let's go the official way!"

"Guo Yan used [-] imperial guards to fight against the [-] rebel army. Do you think he can last for seven days?" Zhuge Yu asked.

The military division showed a look of embarrassment, "But I heard that the emperor summoned the Yan family army to King Jingqin at the same time. If there is no accident, the Yan family army has already arrived."

Zhuge Yu threw the writing brush in his hand into the pen holder, "Do you think they can successfully let Yan Jiajun and Guo Yan meet?" Yan Jiajun has [-], and the rebellious party has [-], even half of them is enough to deal with them. The key is, they It is suspected that the imperial decree will fall into the hands of the third prince if it cannot be delivered to the capital.

The military adviser nodded, "The general's worry is not unreasonable. This battle came unexpectedly and inexplicably. How could the third prince have the courage and strength to rebel? Then again, if we are trapped, it will not help ah!"

Zhuge Yu fell into deep thought.Suddenly, there was a scream from the soldiers outside the door, "The snow is getting lighter! The sun is out! Everyone, look!"

The sky was still covered with scattered white snow, but a ray of morning light from the east broke through the thick mist and instantly illuminated the earth.Zhuge Yu's eyes lit up, "Take Jingyang Road and return to Beijing!"

In the evening of the next day, Zhuge Yu's [-] troops arrived at the east of the city, forming a siege with Guo Yan, and smashed the army of the third prince to pieces. Firewood" concept, withdrew troops and fled.Yun Li immediately ordered to take advantage of the victory to pursue and bring the third prince to justice.Zhuge Yu didn't have time to say goodbye to his family, and led the army to chase the Third Prince southward.Not long after he set off, Shangguan Qian chased after her on horseback. The breeze blew her bamboo hat, and she couldn't tell whether it was the snow-colored scarf or her hair full of silver threads that floated behind her head.

As soon as the two of them left, the latest news from the palace came from behind: the emperor had a headache and couldn't afford to fall ill, so he specially appointed the eldest son Yun Si as the crown prince.The queen mother was worried about the emperor, so she also fell ill. In addition, the queen was pregnant, so the emperor ordered that the concubine Li listen to the government behind the curtain, and assist the infant prince to supervise the country.

This earth-shattering news was even more shocking than the blizzard battle. There were many memorials in the court questioning Concubine Li and the crown prince, and there were even more memorials to defend Concubine Li and her son.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince is the eldest son of the emperor. Why not represent the royal family in the court when the country is in crisis? The imperial decree said that it was not that the emperor did not allow the empress to supervise the country, but that the empress was pregnant. , It is really not suitable to work hard, so I ask Empress Li to perform the power on her behalf, and when the empress is better, this power will be returned to the empress!" Shui Hangge said righteously.

Concubine Li looked at the civil and military officials with tears in her eyes, and said sincerely: "Yes, I and the empress are like sisters, and I have won the pity of the empress dowager. The risk of notoriety for thousands of years has come out to pick up this heavy burden. If the lovers don't believe it, you can spend a year to see if the palace will continue to occupy this position after the emperor or empress returns to normal!"

Guo Yan said coldly: "There are many pregnant women, and there are also many who can go to work in the fields! All the officials present, whether your wives are pregnant or not, immediately ignore the middle class in the mansion?"

Everyone was whispering.

"Yeah, pregnancy is not a big deal, and the empress is not the first child."

"Yes, the empress used to attend various activities when she was pregnant with the little princess, and I never heard that the empress was ill."

……

Concubine Li smiled, and her eyes turned cold, "General Guo! Are you suspecting that my palace is falsely preaching the imperial decree? If I have this ability, why don't I mention my status? I am now in the second rank. , the first grade and the first grade are all empty! Furthermore, the imperial decree is handed over to the Taishi and Taifu for review. It is the emperor's handwriting and is also a genuine seal! It is a time of turmoil, and you don't want to think about it. How to stabilize the Great Zhou country, but make things difficult for our orphans and widowed mothers! You...you are really good pillars of the Great Zhou!"

Many officials lowered their heads, but Guo Yan still had doubts, "How can your one-sided words count?"

"One-sided words?" Concubine Li raised the shining imperial decree in her hand, and said coldly, "Contempt the imperial power, and beheaded according to the law! Anyone who does not allow me to take the crown prince to supervise the country is rebelling against the decree! I want to see, you guys How many of these people are not afraid of losing their heads!"

"Concubine Yan has arrived—" Outside the Jinluan Hall, the eunuch's sharp communication sounded.

Concubine Li's eyes sharpened, "Without my order, how could concubines in the harem set foot in the Golden Palace without permission? To me..."

Before the word "delay" was spoken, all civil and military officials in the court knelt down in front of Concubine Yan, "Long live the Supreme Emperor, long live, long live!"

It was Concubine Yan who held the Shangfang sword bestowed by the Supreme Emperor in both hands, and stepped into the hall with a solemn face.
