Pampered ghost concubine is respected

Chapter 299
Seeing that he was about to enter the Empress Dowager's palace, He Lianyu panicked and had no idea.

"Queen, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, the [-] reinforcements outside the city will arrive soon, as long as you can meet them, you'll be fine. Hurry up and close the palace gate and stick to it." The Queen Mother said calmly, but her voice trembled after all.

He Lianyu almost burst into tears, sobbing, "Mother, my son doesn't want to die, let's run away quickly, He Lianyou's people are about to kill us, and when the reinforcements arrive, we'll already be dead. How could a palace gate stop He Lianyou."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, she slapped He Lianyu hard, and angrily said, "You are the emperor of Nanxi Kingdom, how can you be so timid and afraid of getting into trouble? You are useless!"

He Lianyu covered his face in pain, not daring to say anything, just lowered his head sullenly, trembling with fear.

After a pause, the Empress Dowager continued, "Now He Lianyou's people may have blocked the gates of all the palaces. We only need to take the initiative to send them to the door. If we want to go out at this time, it is really a dead end."

He Lianyu said submissively, "Yes, the mother taught me the lesson."

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly.Her son is so disappointing. If He Lianyou had half the ability, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

After pondering for a moment, the queen mother said solemnly, "I have a secret passage here, and no one else knows about it except me. We can hide in it for a while, and wait for the rescuers to come, and then settle the score with He Lianyou."

He Lianyu was overjoyed, and said anxiously, "Okay, where is the secret way?"

The queen mother frowned, looked at He Lianyu in disgust, and said coldly, "Go and close the palace door first, so as to gain more time."

"Yes, yes." Helian Yu was about to order loudly to tell the maids or eunuchs to close the door. Those eunuchs and court ladies had already fled after hearing the news, and there were only two of them, mother and child, in the huge palace. .

He Lianyu looked at the queen mother helplessly, and the queen mother was furious.

"Hurry up and close the door, do you want me, an old woman, to go?" The queen mother sternly roared, her lips turned blue and her body trembled with anger.

He Lianyu twitched the corners of his mouth awkwardly, hesitated for a few seconds and ran away with a "boom dong dong".

The Empress Dowager stomped her crested cane angrily, her brows and eyes full of helplessness.

After hastily closing the door, He Lianyu ran back in a panic, still in shock, "Hurry up, mother, they are about to call." The roar of fighting that lingered in his ears was still fresh in his memory, and it scared him three times. The soul is almost gone.

The queen mother was also a little panicked, and hurriedly instructed He Lianyu to pry open a floor in her room, and a narrow tunnel with no bottom appeared in front of her.

He Lianyu's expression brightened, and he was about to jump down, when he suddenly remembered the Empress Dowager, and hurriedly said flatteringly, "Empress Mother, I will help you down."

The queen mother nodded, and supported He Lianyu's hands to make a secret passage.

"My lord, just now a eunuch took the initiative to confess that Yingcheng's reinforcements will arrive soon." Awei said with a worried expression.

He Lianyou's heart sank, and he asked hurriedly, "When did they set off? How many people are there?" It would take a day and a half from Yingcheng to Cancheng, and He Lianyu and the queen mother have not been found yet. If reinforcements arrive at this time If so, how could a thousand people like him resist it?I hope that there are not many people coming, and the junior sister can hold on for a while.

Awei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, the eunuch only said that he overheard the conversation between He Lianyu and the Queen Mother three days ago, and the Queen Mother reprimanded He Lianyu, saying that he shouldn't fight Bei Mu, and ordered troops to come over quickly." .”

What happened three days ago?Back and forth, based on this calculation, three days is enough. It seems that the reinforcements are really coming soon, or have already arrived, and they may be fighting with the junior sister and the others at this moment.The more He Lianyou thought about it, the more anxious he became. After pondering for a moment, he said loudly, "Turn the entire palace upside down, and find He Lianyu and the Queen Mother as soon as possible."

"Yes." As soon as He Lianyou finished speaking, everyone searched quickly.

After more than ten minutes, they still haven't found any trace of He Lianyu and the others.He scanned the entire palace, his eyes full of hostility.Success or failure in one fell swoop again, he can't lose.

Here, someone came to report again.

"Prince, the princess..."

He Lianyou asked impatiently, "What happened to her?"

The visitor pursed his lips nervously and said in a low voice, "The princess is dead."

died?He Lianyou froze for a few seconds, and his thoughts suddenly moved rapidly.For half the price, he shouted with grief and indignation, "Well, you He Lianyu, you don't even let a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken, you are not as good as a beast. You killed your father and usurped the throne, and now you are killing your younger brothers and sisters. How can you bear it?" After speaking, he held his heart to express his pain for the passing of the princess.

A performance that was both soft and hard, attracted everyone to condemn He Lianyu, as if he was a gentleman.

Luo Huiwen understood, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down, and said righteously, "Please the prince to do justice for the heavens, and kill this cruel person who harms the country and the people."

"Yes, kill him, kill him..." Everyone raised their banners and agreed unanimously.

He Lianyou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with embarrassment, "But now I can't find anyone else, so what?"

Luo Huiwen half-closed his eyes, a mocking smile flashed across his mouth, and immediately said with righteous indignation, "He must be hiding in this palace, why don't we set fire to it and burn it all down, I don't believe he won't come out."

He Lianyu, who was hiding under the secret passageway, heard his legs trembling with fright, and tremblingly said, "Mother, he wants to burn us to death, what should we do?"

The queen mother showed hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "I don't believe he dares."

Luo Huiwen's proposal was in line with He Lianyou's wishes, but he still pretended to be shocked, "How can this be? The queen mother is still inside?"

"Prince, for the sake of Nanxi Kingdom, for the people, and for the sake of the country, we must do this. I believe that the late emperor will support him if he is alive in heaven. You really deserve what you deserve." Luo Huiwen persuaded in a solemn voice.

As soon as the words came out, other people who were still a little hesitant also collectively agreed.

After struggling for a moment, He Lianyou nodded helplessly, "Okay, I will leave this matter to you."

He Lianyu sat down on the ground, dazed.Even the calm Queen Mother changed color.

Luo Huiwen pursed his lips and smiled, stood up hurriedly, and directed people to prepare wine and fire.

"Mother, what should we do? Why don't we go out and pretend to surrender?" He Lianyu suggested.

"No, Aijia will never surrender like He Lianyou." The queen mother said firmly.

He Lianyu was frightened and wanted to go out alone, but he was usually afraid of the queen mother, so he didn't dare to move at this time.

After a while, things will be ready.With He Lianyou's acquiescence, everyone poured oil and alcohol into the Queen Mother's Palace.
