Chapter 757
"Aye, please slow down, as long as you get out of the front door, we will be safe!"

In the dark night, a woman in Taoist robe supported a middle-aged man and ran all the way to the outside of Tangquan Palace. Around them were three or four hundred soldiers in armor and holding sharp knives.

"An Tong, wait a minute,"

The middle-aged man was wearing a homely shirt with a bright yellow belt on his forehead. He didn't wear a hat. Just by looking at his pale face and slightly weak footsteps, one could guess that he was seriously ill at the moment.

I saw him licking his slightly chapped lips, panting heavily, and said: "The concubine is still in Tangquan Palace, I will wait for her to rush over and go together."

"Oh, Aye, at this point, you, why do you still miss that woman?"

The woman in Taoist robes, Princess Antong who became a monk and made a female crown, stomped her feet anxiously after hearing what he said, "Don't even think about it, if you didn't eat a snow fungus soup from her, how could you always be poisoned? She, she is clearly with the Webster rebels."

"Impossible, Fei'er would not treat me like this," the middle-aged man, who is the current emperor Li Chengqian's children's shoes, gritted his teeth with disbelief on his face, "Fei'er has always been innocent, saying that she is jealous and secretly doing some tricks." I believe it, but, it can be said that she participated in the treason, I would not believe it no matter what."

After thinking about it, the emperor seemed to be defending the noble concubine, and seemed to persuade himself, "Furthermore, she is already the head of the four concubines, and I have given her all the wealth and honor. She has no reason to murder me." .”

If Fei'er rebelled against her son, the emperor would not find it strange, but the problem is, the royal concubine has no heirs, and she is a good concubine, so why did she collude with Webster?After all, the eldest prince became the emperor, and the only proud person in the harem was Webster. What could the noble concubine get?
And according to the rules, once the emperor dies, all concubines in the palace who have nothing to do will go to Ganye Temple to become monks.

At that time, even if Wang Guifei has contributed to Webster, she will not live better than now.

Also, on weekdays, Fei'er has some disagreements with all the women in the harem, especially Concubine Wei Shu, who once favored the harem. The two are even more incompatible. How could they become friends in the blink of an eye?
This is not scientific!

"Why not?" Princess Antong said bitterly: "Aye, you also know that at first, Er and Wang Guifei had the best friendship. If there is no conclusive evidence, how could Er speak frankly in front of you?"

After hearing this, the emperor nodded secretly, because Fei'er was able to return to the palace mainly because of An Tong's connection.After Fei'er returned to the palace, she was very kind to An Tong, and often said in the emperor's ear that it was really pitiful for An Tong to become a nun's crown at a young age.

She is obviously a royal princess, but she has to live in poverty in a ruined Taoist temple. Even with the emperor's care, her life is not very comfortable.Not to mention comparing with Princess Ping'an and other sisters, even the more noble girls in Beijing have a better life than An Tong.

Wang Guifei was very good at complaining, she only described An Tong as a pitiful little cabbage, completely ignoring An Tong's leisurely appearance of singing and dancing every day.

The emperor believed the words of Wang Guifei, as she said, even if the emperor gave special treatment, how could a female Taoist priest be given special treatment?
Thinking that they are all his own daughters, one lives in poverty, but the others can enjoy the honor. The emperor deeply felt that he had treated Princess Antong badly, so he gave her some rewards from time to time, and the land recorded in the name of her Taoist temple was even more beautiful. It is as many as several hundred hectares. Although those fields are not in the capital, they are all distributed in the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that Antong can live a very nourishing life just relying on the income from those fertile fields, not to mention the various rewards from the emperor from time to time.

With these fates, the relationship between An Tong and Wang Guifei became closer. If the age difference between the two was ignored, they would be like a close mother and daughter in front of the emperor.

Now, An Tong suddenly pointed his sword at Wang Guifei, saying that she was involved in the treason. The emperor was shocked, but also murmured in his heart: Yes, An Tong and Fei'er have an irreversible relationship. If there is no conclusive evidence, An Tong should I won't frame Fei'er.

Thinking of this, the emperor believed it a little, but he still didn't speak, just listened silently.

An Tong secretly glanced at the emperor, and seeing his expression, he knew that his words had achieved results, so he continued: "Since I came to Lishan, I felt that Wang Guifei was acting a little strangely. The news of Aye's illness made my son very worried, and hurried to visit him, but in the end, he was blocked outside the palace by the always kind Wang Guifei."

An Tong paused, and pretended to be angry and said: "Aye, tell me, if she has no ghosts in her heart, why didn't she let her visit? Hmph, it's clearly because she was afraid that her whereabouts would be revealed, so she blocked your news. She, She was under house arrest in a disguised form. Later, Er realized that not only Er, but also several aunts and uncles were unable to see you. At that time, Er realized that something was wrong, and quickly ordered people to investigate everywhere. I really found out some news!"

An Tong didn't stop on his feet, and continued to walk out with the emperor's arm, but the speed was slower than before.

As she walked, she said, "I heard that it was Concubine Wei Shu who told Concubine Wang that when Grandma and Aunt (referring to Empress Su) drove Concubine Wang out of Beijing, in order to avoid future troubles, they secretly gave her a shelter." Soup, the dose of the medicine is very large, which made Wang Guifei no longer able to conceive—"

"What?" The emperor was startled when he heard the words, he quickly stopped, staring at his daughter with burning eyes, "Is this really true? Auntie and the queen really, really—"

An Tong quickly shook his head, "Of course not. Even if you can't trust your mother, can you still not trust your grandma? This is clearly a trick of Webster's. She deliberately lied to Wang Guifei, so that Wang Guifei would feel resentful towards the queen and win her over!"

The emperor's old face became hot when he heard his daughter's words, yes, he was really confused, and even doubted his mother's character.Yes, according to A Niang's upright temperament, since she has already ordered Fei'er to go, she will be allowed to leave in peace, and she will definitely not do such dirty tricks.

An Tong saw the embarrassment on the emperor's face. In order not to make her father feel uncomfortable, she decided to skip this section and continued: "Coincidentally, the imperial concubine has been out of business all these years, and she is also anxious about her children. Concubine Wang Gui didn't believe what Concubine Wei Shu said at first, but Concubine Wei Shu was cunning, she insisted on finding a few so-called witnesses, and presented some plausible evidence... Finally, Concubine Wang really believed it."

The emperor frowned slightly. To be honest, although he believed in A Niang's character, he couldn't 100% trust the queen's character.What if the empress dowager really wanted to let Fei'er go, but the empress was unwilling to retaliate secretly? !

This really echoed the phrase 'It's not that one family does not enter one family'. Both the emperor and Fei'er focused their suspicion on the empress.

An Tong glanced at the emperor's expression, guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Aye, don't think about it, it's been more than ten years, and the maids who went through this incident have already been released from the palace. Well, the so-called evidence is probably not much left, but Concubine Wei Shu was able to find all of them. Isn't this, isn't this too strange? To put it bluntly, I don't want you to be annoyed. Concubine Wei Shu can produce such detailed personal and physical evidence. When someone drugged Concubine Wang Gui, Concubine Wei Shu most likely did it!"

The emperor frowned slightly, and carefully considered his daughter's analysis. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that An Tong's words made sense.Finally, he nodded slowly in agreement.

Seeing this, An Tong continued, "It's a pity that Concubine Wang Guifei didn't think so. She really believed Concubine Wei Shu's words and hated Her Highness the Queen who made her infertile. Especially as Sanlang (referring to the third prince) grew older, he often Seeing the clever Saburo, the noble concubine Wang hated her mother even more, and with Concubine Wei Shu's constant encouragement and promises in her ears, she followed Concubine Wei Shu's plan, and took advantage of your trust in her, Aye, to give you a gift when you were not prepared. Poison."

Speaking of which, the emperor has already believed it, because the concubine Wang Guifei gave him a bowl of snow fungus soup when he was soaking in the hot spring and Nuanyu was not around.

Fortunately, he was a little tired from the hot springs at that time, and the snow fungus soup was too sweet, he only used a spoonful, if he ate the whole bowl... the emperor himself shook his head in fear.

"Let's go, An Tong, let's go!" Now that he knew the truth, the emperor didn't delay any longer and hurriedly grabbed his daughter's arm, and the father and daughter ran towards the palace gate together.

Xu Shi solved a doubt in his heart and let the emperor temporarily relax his vigilance, so he didn't doubt why An Tong was able to rush into the palace at a critical moment, and why he thoughtfully brought all the two hundred armored guards under her name into the palace. Went to Tangquan Palace.

Honestly, it's neither reasonable nor legal.

Where is Tangquan Palace?It’s okay for you to bring in a few guards, but if you bring in 200 people, or fully armed soldiers, what do you want to do?Rebel? !

But the emperor saw the two hundred thousand cattle guards secretly dispatched by the eldest princess, and because he believed the eldest princess, out of habit, he also believed An Tong's words—because he was worried, he sneaked into the palace quietly with his iron armored guards.

The emperor didn't even think about it, the Qianniuwei dispatched by the eldest princess had sneaked in before the large army arrived at Mount Li. At that time, Li Yi's Yulin army hadn't arrived yet, so there was no way to intercept it.

However, An Tong's armored guards only mixed into Tangquan Palace tonight, which is simply unreasonable, because according to the unanimous remarks of Li Li and An Tong, at this moment, Li Yi's Yulin Army has surrounded Tangquan Palace. It is extremely difficult, unless it is intentionally put in by someone.

That's right, Princess Antong and her troops were deliberately let in by Li Yi. Although Antong did not formally form an alliance with Webster, she had been the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and now she broke with the Wei family. In the face of interests, the so-called grievances are really not worth mentioning.

The reason why Webster arranged An Tong's "surprising army" was to guard against the fact that if Wang Guifei missed, An Tong would take the opportunity to join in and kill the king in the name of saving her.

In addition, Webster is also guarding against the eldest princess and has other arrangements.The current facts proved that Webster's guess was correct, the eldest princess indeed arranged a group of people to secretly protect the emperor.

When An Tong surrounded the emperor to 'escape' from the palace, two hundred thousand Niuwei suddenly appeared, which startled An Tong, and she sighed again in her heart: Tsk tsk, this Webster is really thoughtful.

In fact, An Tong agreed to 'cooperate' because she had her own selfish intentions. Her biological mother died young, and she has no siblings. It doesn't matter which prince is the next emperor to her.

However, among the younger brothers, An Tong has some relationship with the fourth prince's biological mother. The fourth prince's biological mother, Feng Zhaoyi, is her distant aunt. Before An Tong was formally raised by the queen, Feng Zhaoyi once took care of her for a while.

It's just that at that time Feng Zhaoyi was just a little Chenghui (the prince's concubine, the fifth rank), and she didn't stand out in the East Palace.

After she gave birth to the fourth prince, she was only named Zhaoyi, and she was not favored in the harem.

Her son is neither the heir nor the elder, so it is very difficult to be the emperor.

But now there is a good time, Wei Shi and Su Shi are fighting to the death, just like two tigers fighting fiercely, and she, Feng Zhaoyi, only needs to wait for the fisherman to win when the two tigers fight to the death.

Thinking of the huge benefits that would be brought after the event was completed, Feng Zhaoyi was so excited that she called Princess An Tong, who was also ambitious, to plot together.

An Tong experienced the many benefits brought by the imperial power after experiencing the incident of the royal concubine, and thought that there was a fourth prince who was close to him as the emperor. Wouldn't she, the eldest princess, enjoy greater wealth?
After some thought, An Tong agreed to Feng Zhaoyi's plan.

And Feng Zhaoyi's plan is very simple: they are too weak to confront Webster and Su head-on. What they have to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. Mixed into Webster's camp, not a formal alliance, but just to help - kill the emperor while taking advantage of the chaos.

As for how the several parties compete after killing the emperor, it depends on their respective means.

For this, Feng Zhaoyi also has a plan, that is, when the eldest prince and the third prince kill you to death, take advantage of the chaos to kill the second prince, fifth prince and Wu Zhaoyi who is pregnant, and then put the blame on the winner of the two princes' fight on the head.

At that time, no matter who wins, he will be charged with killing the king (or brother) and become a sinner of treason.

It is impossible for such a person to ascend to the throne, and Li's clan, five prime ministers, and dignitaries of various states are not dead.Once this is done, her son will become the only surviving heir of the emperor, and he will be able to ascend the throne without any moral stigma.

Feng Zhaoyi's plan seemed a bit whimsical, but after careful consideration, he found that it was not impossible, at least An Tong was convinced.

Out of the corner of her eye, she cautiously looked at Qianniuwei around. An Tong's heart was beating violently, and her palms were also sweating.No matter how thorough the plan was, when it was time for her to do it, she hesitated again.

One is fear, killing a king does not mean killing a small servant, and killing the emperor once it happens, it is the first-class crime that cannot be pardoned.

The second is reluctance, after all, the person next to her is her biological father, who treats her very well on weekdays, but now she wants to kill him by herself, she really can't do it.

"Hu~~"

A group of people took advantage of the night to break out of Tangquan Palace through the side door. Standing on the path in the mountains, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally came out."

He turned around and looked at the brightly lit Tangquan Palace and the figures swaying around outside the palace, his teeth itching with hatred, and he repeatedly cursed in his heart: Li Yi, what a black-hearted rat, it's in vain for me to trust you so much , You actually colluded with Webster's rebel party to murder me.You just wait, when I return to the capital safely, I will surely tear your corpse into thousands of pieces.

"Aye, what should we do now?"

An Tong endured the tension in his heart, still holding the emperor's arm with both hands, and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go down the mountain along the path," the emperor knew very well, and the Huo clan followed suit, so the Lishan camp led by the Huo clan would be unreliable. The south side of Mount Li is good, there are five thousand elite soldiers arranged by him and his elder sister, who will surely protect him and return to Beijing safely.

In order to determine the direction, the emperor asked the team leader Xiang Li: "When my sister sent you here, did you have any words to explain?"

Leader Li bowed and saluted, "Reporting to the sage, the eldest princess has something to say, if something happens, she should evacuate to the southwest side. She said that on the way, there will be the guards of the eldest princess' mansion and the members of the Xiao family to accompany her."

After thinking for a while, Team Leader Li added, "In addition, the eldest princess also mentioned that she also arranged for a surprise soldier to escort her. It's just that where the surprise soldier is placed, who it is, and the subordinates don't know." Know!"

Raiders?

An Tong's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the eldest princess to have so many arrangements, not only Qianniuwei, the princess's personal guard, Xiao's trilogy, but also some strange soldiers.

Could it be that the eldest princess also suspected herself?
For some reason, such a weird thought came to An Tong's mind, and the hairs all over her body stood on end in shock.

The poisonous dagger that was already held in the palm of her hand was quietly put away again. An Tong's goal was very clear: she had to complete the plan without exposing herself.If it is known that she is going to kill the king, even if the matter is accomplished, she may be pushed as a scapegoat to take the blame.

The emperor was also a little curious: "Surprise soldiers? What strange soldiers?" Now he really admires his elder sister, who has considered everything for him. If she can escape the danger this time, the eldest princess will take the greatest credit.

While they were talking, the Habayashi Army not far away found their tracks, and someone shouted: "There are assassins, hurry up and catch the assassins!"

Under the command of Li Yi, these Yulin soldiers rushed towards the emperor and his party desperately while shouting 'catch the assassin'.

The emperor was horrified, and subconsciously wanted to shout: Presumptuous, I am the Son of Heaven, why don't you lay down your weapons and come to escort me? !
An Tong reacted quickly, pulled the emperor's sleeve and ran down the mountain, saying to the emperor while running: "Aye, they are rebels~~" If you always show your identity, wouldn't you die faster?

The emperor also reacted, strode away and pulled An Tong back to run.

Team leader Li led two hundred thousand cattle guards to take charge of the rear. After the emperor, An Tong and others ran for 200 meters, they heard the sound of the two sides fighting together.

The sound was very close, and the father and daughter did not dare to delay, and continued to run down the mountain as hard as they could. After running a full 300 meters, the two stopped panting.

Looking at the Habayashi Army and Qianniuwei fighting together in the distance, and looking at the quiet mountains around, An Tong felt that her chance had come, she gritted her teeth, and the dagger slipped down her palm again. There was a crisp sound like burning firecrackers in my ears.

"Who? Who's where?"

The emperor was startled, and immediately followed the prestige.

I saw dozens of figures jumping out of the forest not far in front of the mountain road. These figures may be tall or short, but they don't look like adults, at least not all of them are adults. After a few leaps, they rushed to the front .

"Greetings to the saint, Cui Lingwen, the dean of the Lishan Branch of a Jiwei College, led 23 students and [-] guards to rescue him..."

The person in the lead said respectfully.
