Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 145 Forcing the Palace
Because Qin Zheng had explained it before, Xie Jinhua did not hesitate, and quickly changed clothes with the palace man, and put the mask on his face. Although it was not perfect due to time constraints, it was not a very familiar person. Observing in front of you, you can't see any difference.

"Master, this is the place where Princess Cheng'an lives. You can follow this picture to find it later. Princess Cheng'an has already explained it."

The palace man also adjusted his clothes, face, and hair, and took out a piece of paper, which was a route, marking several routes with weak patrols on the road, and the last place was where Princess Cheng'an lived .

Really thoughtful.

As soon as Xie Jinhua went out with the palace man's face on his face, a guard came over to make routine inquiries.

Xie Jinhua casually said a few perfunctory words, and was let go. After all, these guards mainly looked at Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua was sensitively aware that the guards guarding outside his palace were not the familiar faces of the previous few days, and there were many more people than the previous few days.

Tonight in the palace is really not peaceful.

As soon as Xie Jinhua walked out of the sight of those guards, he quickened his pace quietly.

The palace where Princess Chengan lives is far away, close to the Lenggong. Xie Jinhua stayed in the Lenggong in his previous life. The most familiar place in the palace is the Lenggong, so the map is just a glance, and I remember it in my heart , went smoothly along the way.

At the beginning, Xie Jinhua kept encountering patrolling guards, and Xie Jinhua who could avoid it all avoided it.

The closer you get to the cold palace, the less you will meet people.

Xie Jinhua's tense nerves did not let up. In the situation tonight, if someone is really plotting against her, she can't change anything. The only thing she can do is to follow Qin Zheng's idea and send herself to a safe place, so that she won't let him go. I became Qin Zheng's weakness and burden.

Xie Jinhua finally saw the palace where Princess Chengan lives, Qin'an Hall, although there are guards outside, but only a few guards.

They glanced around from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

Thinking of the Princess Cheng'an that the palace people said just now is waiting for him.

Xie Jinhua took a step and wanted to move forward.

Just the next moment, she stopped in her tracks, because she saw a person, a somewhat familiar person.

The other party was inconspicuous among those few guards.

Xie Jinhua slowly bent down.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Someone couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"There are a lot of patrolling people along the way. It is inevitable that people will be late, and they must always avoid people."

"Just now Her Royal Highness asked about it."

"Okay, shut up, the princess's account is important, Zheng Yun, take the two of you to look around, don't be delayed by something or someone."

The person Xie Jinhua noticed just now was also among the few people looking for him. He looked for some shadowy places where he could hide, and drew out the sword in his hand.

The sword light is sharp and sharp, catching people's eyes.

Xie Jinhua closed his eyes slightly, and his sight was easily perceived by some keen people.

She hides in the shadows, even if someone walks past her, she doesn't move.

She wasn't worried about being found, after all, there were only a few of them, but at this moment, she couldn't help but began to worry about Qin Zheng.

Things have obviously changed. Princess Cheng'an's side is not as safe as Qin Zheng imagined. Will there be changes in the emperor's side that Qin Zheng didn't expect.

-

Both the first prince and the fifth prince were wearing armor. Their faces were very cold, but they also showed nervousness and faint excitement.

There were hundreds of people behind them, and when they saw the fish slipping through the net, they quickly killed the palace guards. The swords in their hands were stained with bright red blood.

Especially the fifth prince, King An, was even more eager to kill, his eyes were faintly red, which made the eldest prince Cheng Wang look sideways: "Okay, don't rush to kill, these palace guards can't kill more people." Use, we have important matters now, don't delay the important matter."

Cheng Wang's words made An Wang take back the sword in his hand, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and glanced at Cheng Wang: "Brother, you can calm down at this time, and ask me to do this together." Time didn’t even give me a chance to regret it.”

This is said with a bit of irony.

"For tonight's matter, we are tied to the same boat, and this king will also tell you something heartfelt. Whether it is success or failure, it is all at this time. If it succeeds, this king will naturally follow the promise and give you what you want. Jiangnan fiefdom, if it doesn't work, we two won't even have the chance to talk and mock each other like this."

Wang An was silent for a while, and let out a fierce breath: "Let's go!"

It seemed that there were only a hundred people behind them, but in fact, most of the imperial guards in the palace tonight were already under control.

No matter how the queen is neglected by the emperor, she is still the mother of a country, the mistress of the harem, and the deputy commander of the imperial army belongs to the queen, so the queen will naturally support becoming a king.

As for King An, he didn't want to get on King Cheng's boat, he also had ambitions, but the news he and King Cheng got made them unable to sit still.

The emperor wants to support King Qi to ascend the throne, and the emperor wants to seal the two of them to a barren land.

The emperor's health is getting worse and worse. It is said that he was in a coma for a while, and tomorrow he will make King Qi the heir apparent.

The two of them believed in the news, not for anything else, but because the person who sent them the news made them have to believe it.

What's more, the emperor actually knew what they each did.

That was really enough for the emperor to completely abandon them.

King Qi has done a lot of things reprimanded by the emperor recently, but his mistakes are just small mistakes. Compared with the two of them, no matter how you think about it, the emperor will choose King Qi.

The brothers have been fighting for so many years, and no one wants to fail without even refuting in the end and become a prisoner.

A group of people quietly speeded up.

Some palace guards yelled before being killed, but what they yelled for was not rescue, but a make-up.

The deputy commander of the imperial army is no better than the commander, but the real power in his hands is not weak at all, especially tonight, the other party has already prepared.

King An and King Cheng arrived at the emperor's bedroom unimpeded all the way.

-

The emperor woke up coughing, and Li Quan brought warm water to feed the emperor.

There are also cough pills by the way.

After swallowing the bitter pill, the emperor coughed for a long time before he stopped his voice, his chest was panting sharply.

"What time is it?"

The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the second watch."

Li Quan said in a low voice.

"Second watch, so fast"

The emperor sighed: "Help me up."

"Your Majesty, it took so long for you to fall asleep."

Li Quan was not very willing.

After the emperor's health deteriorated, no matter how much calming drugs he took, he couldn't sleep well, and when he fell asleep, he always woke up quickly.

I finally fell asleep tonight, and only slept for two hours.

The emperor glanced at Li Quan's unwilling expression, and snorted: "Do you think I don't want to have a good sleep? It's just that some people don't want me to have a good sleep."

As he spoke, he gasped again.

It was very quiet outside, and the sound of the emperor's violent panting was particularly obvious in the empty palace.

Li Quan hurriedly patted the emperor's back lightly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, your majesty, you have to take care of yourself, hello, those people with ulterior motives will be sad, and those people's bad intentions cannot be allowed to succeed. "

Li Quan kept talking.

"Here, bring me the relic."

The emperor clutched his chest and gave Li Quan a command.

Li Quan took out an exquisite small box in a short while, and when the box was opened, the shiny and pearly relics were revealed.

The emperor reached out and took out the relic, pressed it on his chest, breathing continuously, and gradually, his complexion improved a little bit.

"Your Majesty, this relic will still work"

Li Quan was very happy.

"Things are good things, but if they are too dependent, they are not good."

The emperor put the relic into the box, and Li Quan put the box back carefully.

There was a sudden sound from outside.

It was the sound of footsteps, the vibration of armor.

There are patrolling people outside the emperor's bedroom, but those individuals are paying attention to the sound, so as not to disturb the emperor, if nothing happens, no one dares to get too close to the bedroom.

What's more, so many footsteps came at once.

Li Quan's complexion changed: "Your Majesty, this old servant will go and have a look."

The emperor took Li Quan's hand, his eyes were bright: "Don't look, the person I'm waiting for has arrived."

He got up: "Changing clothes for me."

He wants to see who Ye Jingan has entangled with to force the palace to usurp the throne, and also to see if any of his sons can stand their temper and wait peacefully for him to choose someone to take his place Crown Prince.

Li Quan looked at the emperor's appearance and didn't dare to refute. He carefully helped the emperor put on his regular clothes. He just buttoned up the last button when the footsteps stopped, and the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened.

First, a group of soldiers rushed in and stood on the left and right. A passage was opened among the soldiers, and a bloody smell drifted closer with the wind. King An and King Cheng came side by side.

"My son sees my father."

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

The two saluted the emperor at the same time. This time, before the emperor said to get up, they each got up by themselves.

What flashed across the emperor's eyes was intense disappointment and a hint of bitterness.

"Boss, old five, what are you guys doing! You brought people into the palace late at night without being summoned, are you planning to rebel?"

Although it was the emperor's own game, when his two sons really jumped in like this, he was unspeakably disappointed and couldn't accept it. He wanted to give them another chance to defend themselves.

King Cheng was the longest, and he had always been in awe of the emperor. When the emperor's eyes fell, he subconsciously couldn't open his mouth.

King An despised King Cheng, and when he said he was going to rebel, King Cheng was more urgent than anyone else, and when he was in front of the emperor, he was so useless.

Thinking of his own plan, King An took a step forward: "Father, as you can see, we did do something rebellious, but we were forced to, Father, you know what we have done Well, even if we don't break into the palace tonight, we won't have the chance to be the crown prince. It's even more likely that we won't even save our lives, we are protecting ourselves now, father, son and minister were all forced by you."

After King An finished speaking, he retreated to King Cheng: "Brother, we have reached the current stage. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

Taking a step back may mean losing all glory, all status and reputation, and losing one's own life.

King Cheng gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at the emperor: "Father, what the fifth younger brother said is true. We were forced to come here today. I knew that my father was unwell and fell into a coma for a while. As the son of the queen mother , and being the eldest son of the father, I ask myself that he is the most suitable person among the brothers, and I ask my father to complete my son, so that I can take off the burden on my shoulders and cultivate my body well."

"What did you all do to think that I would abolish my two sons?"

The emperor's face was ugly.

He realized that something was out of his control.

King An and King Cheng looked at each other, the emperor looked like he really didn't know what they had done.

"Your Majesty does not know that His Majesty King An has been using the power of his mother's family to sell officials and lords in the south of the Yangtze River these years, lying about disasters and stealing money for embankment relief every year. coming?"

A sneering voice came: "There is also His Royal Highness Cheng Wang. More than ten years ago, didn't His Majesty wonder why the second prince died in the end? It is clear that His Majesty used tricks to save the second prince's life. With the help of the empress, His Highness Cheng Wang beheaded the second prince and his heirs without leaving any blood."

Ye Jingan walked slowly from the door.

He didn't shout, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.

The emperor was a little stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at King An and King Cheng.

The embarrassment and disbelief on the faces of the two made him spit out a mouthful of blood with a pounce.

"Ye Jing'an, you lied to us!"

Wang An realized something.
