Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 134
"Stupid woman, what kind of tricks are you going to play again?" Duan Ran grabbed Su Qingyuan's wrist, wanted to lift her up to see her dying appearance, but held back.

Su Qingyuan lowered her voice: "You take Jun'er away in a while, I have a way to protect myself!"

Duan Ran stomped his feet angrily: "If I dare to leave you here, it's no wonder Lu Li doesn't chop me up!"

"Look at how many people you have, how many do they have? Do you have the ability to take me away?" Su Qingyuan asked sharply.

Duan Ran was speechless.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, lowered her head weakly, and said in a low voice, "You should know the consequences of Jun'er and I falling into their hands at the same time! You have been with Lu Li for so many years, you should be aware of the overall situation!"

"You... really have a way to protect yourself?" Duan Ran asked deceivingly.

Su Qingyuan twitched the corners of her lips: "If it's in their hands, you won't be able to 'protect yourself'. Didn't Lu Li tell you not to let the other party catch you alive?"

Duan Ran didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lu Li did not give such orders, but he understood.

The living Su Qingyuan and Lu Junnuo, in Su Yi's hands, will become sharp weapons for the rebels to seize the country.Therefore, when it is absolutely necessary, Duan Ran will do what a loyal minister should do.

What he didn't expect was that Su Qingyuan had guessed his plan and helped him make the best choice.

Saving a child is of course much easier than saving a woman in dystocia!
At this time, the armored soldiers had already approached, and the person who spoke before said in a deep voice: "We want Miss Four and King Ding'an."

Su Qingyuan raised her head, and said coldly: "General Su's order is for you to catch alive, right? Look after me - if one of the remaining people around me dies, Jun'er and I will die immediately. In front of you, let's see how you do business!"

The man frowned, and then he was relieved: "There are a total of ten people left on your side, and it's not difficult to take them all back—Miss Si, please!"

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand: "My girl is tired, come and help me."

"Boss, beware of fraud!" A soldier next to him reminded.

The man who looked like he paused for a moment, then waved his hand heavily.

More than a thousand people immediately surrounded and surrounded Su Qingyuan's wounded and defeated generals in the middle.

Luoxia wanted to come over to help Su Qingyuan, but was forced back by Duan Ran's gaze.

The midwife came over to give her a hand, and said with a bitter face, "This old slave can't hold her anymore!"

Imperial Physician Yu came over to take Su Qingyuan's pulse, and said anxiously: "My lady's pulse is weak, if you can't give birth to the child as soon as possible, I'm afraid..."

The general of the Iron Armored Army didn't believe that Su Qingyuan's weak appearance was not a fake until now.He slowly bent down and grabbed Su Qingyuan's wrist: "Miss Si, I've offended you!"

Su Qingyuan had no strength at all, even though her wrist was grabbed, she still couldn't stand up.

She struggled hard, and stretched out her other hand.

When her fingertips touched the opponent's wrist, she quickly drew a few strokes with her blood-stained fingers, and the bracelet on her wrist flashed red.

The look in Su Qingyuan's eyes quickly dimmed.

That one changed the total expression: "Miss Fourth?"

"Medicine... Where's my medicine?" Su Qingyuan turned her head with difficulty and looked at Imperial Physician Yu.

The latter was slightly taken aback, and his face changed greatly: "I ran too fast just now, I'm afraid... I fell into the tunnel!"

Duan Ran jumped up with a cry: "Bastard! You are so careless about something that concerns two lives! Go back and look for it!"

Imperial Physician Yu looked at the long knife hanging around his neck, but did not dare to move it.

The one holding Su Qingyuan waved his hand: "Let him go!"

Su Qingyuan was dying, holding the general's arm with both hands, begging in a low voice: "Can you let more people in to look for it? I can't hold it anymore! My child... my child!"

Duan Ran took Lu Junnuo's little hand, and said in a deep voice: "I remember the way when I came here, let me go in and help her find it! If you are worried, just send a few more people to follow me!"

"No!" The chief executive gritted his teeth, "Don't think that I don't know what your plan is! You belong to the mouse, and you entered the tunnel, brothers, how can you follow you! You are all waiting here, brother Let's go in and find it!"

Imperial Physician Yu had already walked to the entrance of the tunnel. Hearing this, he hurriedly turned around and said, "It's a white porcelain medicine bottle, only the size of a finger belly!"

The general waved his hand heavily: "Leave 30 people to guard the hostages, and the rest will go into the tunnel immediately and go find them separately!"

A soldier was worried: "Boss, 30 people are too few, right? What if..."

The general said impatiently: "Miss Si is already like this, and the rest are either little girls or old women, can they still run away? Besides, the imperial doctor and Miss Si didn't come back with the life-saving medicine, how dare they run away?" ?”

"Hey, I'm not a little girl, nor an old woman!" Duan Ran retorted unconvinced.

Of course no one paid him any attention at the moment.

So the armored soldiers reluctantly entered the tunnel, and followed Doctor Yu to find medicine bottles in those inexplicable fork roads.

The remaining [-] soldiers formed a circle, still surrounding Su Qingyuan and his group.

Su Qingyuan was exhausted at last, she fell into a coma in front of her eyes, but her fingers still tightly grasped the general's wrist, even her nails were embedded in the other's flesh.

Two of the imperial physicians who followed had died in the rush just now, and the remaining one was also badly injured. After struggling to crawl over, he stuffed two slices of ginseng into Su Qingyuan's mouth. up.

The midwife looked at the gleaming long knife on her shoulder, she just trembled, and had no intention of caring about Su Qingyuan's life or death.

So everyone just waited in place in such a daze, allowing Su Qingyuan to lie miserably on the ground, not knowing whether to live or die.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the nearby pond.

When everyone turned their heads to look in amazement, they saw a dark humanoid animal crawling up from the water bit by bit in a strange posture.

"A human or a ghost?" Duan Ran frowned.

That thing made two "ahhh" sounds, Danyue immediately shouted: "It's that 'fireball' just now!"

The armored soldiers immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, there was no fire on the "fireball", so naturally it lost its previous deterrent effect.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone on both sides, the "thing" climbed up the shore with difficulty, slowly propped up its two legs, and staggered towards this side.

The armored soldier instinctively pointed the long knife in his hand at "it".

The "thing" didn't care about it, and rushed straight into the encirclement, but was cut by a long knife, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

With the light of the fire, everyone finally saw clearly.

It was a person who had been burnt beyond recognition, and the complete skin could no longer be seen from top to bottom, only the dark purple flesh mass exposed under the black skin, barely showing signs of life.

Seeing such a terrifying appearance, the only two or three young ladies in the palace rubbed their chests and retched.

Luoxia, who was the most courageous, took a closer look at the man's bare right wrist, and suddenly exclaimed: "Little Lizi!"

"Who is Xiao Lizi? Someone from your palace?" Duan Ran frowned.

Luoxia didn't know how to answer, so she shook her head.

Hearing this sound, the man immediately turned to Luoxia, the flesh on his face moved, as if making an expression.

Luoxia staggered a bit, and asked boldly: "You are Xiao Li? How did you do this? Are you here to help us?"

That person is Xiao Lizi.

He couldn't speak, so he nodded, opened his intact left hand with difficulty, and pointed in Su Qingyuan's direction with his right arm.

Luo Xia saw a black lacquered porcelain vase lying in his palm, with several pieces of burnt flesh attached to it, she couldn't help but trembled again.

Xiao Lizi was in a hurry, his mutilated right arm slapped the ground desperately, and he let out a cry of "ahah".

Luoxia finally understood: "You want to say, this thing is for the empress?"

"Ah!" Xiao Lizi nodded frantically.

Luoxia was waiting to ask more questions, but saw that his neck was tilted, and his shoulders were also slumped at the same time, so he didn't move.

The black porcelain bottle fell to the ground.

Duan Ran leaned over to pick it up, opened it and took a look: "It seems to be medicine. Is this 'thing' an enemy or a friend?"

Luoxia and Danyue shook their heads together: "I don't know, but the empress hates him."

Duan Ran thought about it carefully, and he knew it: "Your mother hates me too, so this 'thing' should be a good person."

The two girls were stunned: Is there such a logic?

Before the girls objected, Duan Ran leaned over and opened Su Qingyuan's mouth, and poured the medicine from the black bottle into it.

Danyue's eyes widened, and she looked at Duan Ran viciously: "If there is something wrong with your mother, I will fight you hard!"

Duan Ran clapped his hands with a smile: "Then you have to fight with me with your life—"

Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he yelled out a word: "Kill!"

Without even the slightest hesitation, the few remaining guards beside him immediately flew up, snatched the long knife around their necks neatly, and slashed at the armored soldiers beside them.

After cutting down with a knife, Duan Ran yelled out another word before the armored soldiers had time to recover: "Come on!"

After all, he picked up Lu Junnuo on his shoulders, and rushed out first.

The few remaining guards followed closely behind him brandishing big knives, and rushed out of the encirclement in an instant.

Several clever eunuchs and nuns rushed out after a moment of stupefaction.

The armored soldiers were about to chase, but they didn't wait for the order, so their movements were inevitably a little slower.

What's more, Su Qingyuan was still lying on the ground, so they didn't dare to chase her even more.

So in an instant, there were only twenty armored soldiers left on the spot, an unconscious Su Qingyuan, a midwife whose legs were so frightened that she couldn't even get up, and a few little court ladies who were helpless and helpless. , there is also a young boss who has dull eyes and doesn't know where he is.

A woman's cry and a man's roar could be heard in the distance. It seemed that some nanny who got in the way was chopped off by the guards.

Here, a soldier gave the general manager a look of reluctance: "Boss, why don't we chase after him? King Ding'an is the one the general called for!"

"You don't understand." The one who was always dumbfounded finally squeezed out such a sentence after a while.

The soldier looked down at Su Qingyuan, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and his brows became tighter.

He really doesn't understand.

***
The sky gradually brightened.

The gate of the city finally gradually became quiet.

The iron armored soldiers who rushed over like a tide did not make a comeback after retreating once.

The few people who broke in through the gap of the Saimen knife cart died without any suspense under the knife of the guards.

Then there was a weary cheer from the walls.

The city wall was finally held.

The exhausted guards wiped the sweat and blood from their faces and smiled.

Under the city, corpses are everywhere.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties.But no one has the strength to check how many people were killed or injured.

Xue Li rushed up to the top of the city with a few soldiers, and laughed happily: "The bandit soldiers have retreated! Your Majesty, the city gate is guarded! Most of the old bandit's subordinates were killed or injured, and it won't be possible to recover in three to five years. Let's It's a win!"

"Gather the elite and follow me back to the palace!" Lu Li's face was completely devoid of joy.

Ning Yuan followed: "Your Majesty, the situation in the palace is unclear, why not let the ministers and others lead the troops to investigate the palace first, and then you can..."

"I must hurry back immediately!" Lu Li gritted his teeth.

Although Xue Li didn't understand what happened, he quickly gathered more than [-] people and brought them here.

Lu Lifei got on his horse and headed straight for Miyagi.

Xue Li chased Ning Yuan to find out why, Ning Yuan urged his horse to gallop behind Lu Li, and said distressedly: "The old thief is full of tricks, if the Queen Mother and King Ding'an fall into his hands, what good is it for us to defend the city wall?" !"

Lu Li was only focused on urging the horse desperately, and cared whether the soldiers behind him could keep up, and didn't pay attention to what Ning Yuan and the others were saying.

gallop all the way.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the shadow of the sun shone on the red palace wall, looking warm and peaceful, no different from usual.

The guards at the gate were still the previous guards, and the eunuchs could still be seen hurrying through the gate, as if they were not affected by the war at all.

Ning and Xue chased after them, and said vigilantly: "Your Majesty, don't enter the palace rashly, it's better to let the soldiers go ahead to explore the way..."

Lu Li reined in the horse's head and stood for a while, then suddenly pinched the horse's belly: "The old thief won't have too many minions sneaking into the palace, and my golden armor guards are not so useless!"

The second general saw him rushing into the palace gate without hesitation, so he had no choice but to urge his horse to follow.

Fortunately, no accident happened.

Many corpses lay in disorder at the entrance of Chaogan Hall, some of them were golden armored guards, but most of them belonged to the rebels.

It was enough that the golden armored guards stood guarding the door.

Seeing Lu Li come back, the golden-armored general who was guarding the entrance of the hall hurried forward: "The ministers have fulfilled their mission, and the bandits failed to break through the Chaogan Hall!"

Lu Li nodded, "Where else?"

The general said proudly: "There are about [-] bandit soldiers, most of them have been killed, and the remaining [-] people have surrendered and are waiting to be released in Yong'an Hall!"

Lu Li immediately turned around and went straight to the Yong'an Hall.

After entering the gate, it turned out that the soldiers in golden armor were guarding a large group of rebels who had lost their armor and armor, lined up neatly, which was spectacular.

Seeing Lu Li, Gu Lingxiao, the leader of the Golden Armored Guards, was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, the Golden Armored Guards are lucky to live up to their fate!"

Lu Li looked around the field, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you defended everything that should be defended? How is the current situation of Fanghua Palace?"

Gu Lingxiao bowed and said: "Young Master Duan has covered the people of Fanghua Palace to evacuate safely from the tunnel!"

Lu Li let out a long breath of relief, and asked after a long time, "Where else?"

Gu Lingxiao raised his head and said: "The servants in the palace caused chaos and hijacked the imperial concubine and concubine Xian. The ministers and others led the army to deal with them, and successfully rescued the two empresses half an hour ago. At present, all the palaces are safe, and none of the empresses was injured. !"

Lu Li frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

But right now he didn't have time to think about it.

There is no place more important than Fanghua Palace.

Duan Ran's protector of Fanghua Palace left, which meant that A Yuan and Jun'er should not fall into the hands of thieves.

But are there really no surprises?
His A Yuan has always been afraid of the dark, and escaping from the tunnel itself is a great challenge, not to mention——

When there was chaos in the palace, she happened to be giving birth!
Is the baby born now?

Gu Lingxiao obviously didn't know these details.Lu Li didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he hurried out of the Yong'an Hall, got on his horse and ran towards Fanghua Palace.

However, before reaching Fanghua Palace, he was stopped by a large group of people.

Dozens of noble concubines, concubines Xian, concubines Liang, concubines Shen Gui... and the court ladies and eunuchs who served beside them tightly blocked the way.

Lu Li had no choice but to jump off the horse.

Princess Jingmin immediately ran into his arms and hugged his waist tightly: "You are finally back, I thought..."

"Do you think I'm going to die?" Lu Li patted her on the back, trying to comfort her.

Princess Jingmin shook her head again and again: "I thought I would be killed by those damned eunuchs! Brother Emperor, the eunuchs in the palace took advantage of the chaos to rebel and kidnapped Concubine Xian and me. You must avenge us!"

Lu Li frowned, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart spread again.

He pressed Princess Jingmin's shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did those people arrest you? Have you ever suffered?"

Princess Jingmin shook her head blankly.

Cheng Ruoshui came forward, saluted calmly, and raised his head: "Those servants seem to want to hijack us, so as to surrender to the rebels... We have never suffered, but the concubine sister seems to have been a little frightened."

Lu Li moved in his heart, subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Cheng Ruoshui.

The latter looked calm, still showing a calm and ladylike demeanor.

Lu Li pushed Princess Jingmin's hand away, and said in a deep voice, "It's fine if nothing happens. Now that the rebels have failed, today's incident will never happen again. I still have some important matters to be dealt with urgently. You can rest assured for the time being. Go back to the palace."

"Is the emperor going to Fanghua Palace?" Cheng Ruoshui showed a knowing smile.

Lu Li didn't shy away, nodded and got on the horse again.

"The empress dowager is auspicious, she will be fine." Cheng Ruoshui stepped aside and lowered his head slightly.

Seeing this, the rest of the people had to give way.Lu Li didn't have the heart to greet them, so he slapped his horse and galloped out.

There was still an alley away from Fanghua Palace, so the horse slowed down, hesitating and refusing to move forward.

Lu Li had no choice but to get off his horse and quickly ran over.

He soon learned why the horse refused to move forward.

The scene outside Fanghua Palace was actually the same as that under the city wall.

Corpses lay all over the ground, and blood flowed like rivers.

Jin Jiawei said that there were about 2 rebels who sneaked into the palace, and now it seems that more than half of them died outside Fanghua Palace!
Coupled with the fallen soldiers of the Golden Armored Guards, these alleys outside Fanghua Palace turned into a veritable Shura field!
Compared with this place, the front of Chaogan Hall is really clean and tidy.

That old thief!

Lu Li clenched his fists, stepped on the corpses all over the floor, and entered the door bravely.

The inside of the door is naturally much neater than the outside, and there are occasional deaths, and it is no longer as tragic as outside.

Lu Li quickly walked in along the familiar corridor.

The parrots in the corridor are still there, only the figures of the court ladies and eunuchs are gone.

Lu Li pushed the door open and went in, but he didn't see a single person.

The big civet cat jumped over from the table with a "bass".

Lu Li slapped him with a slap.

The civet cat let out a "meow" and returned to the table in aggrieved manner.

Lu Li quickly turned around the screen, and a bloody smell rushed towards his face.

Naturally, there was no one behind the screen.

I saw two buckets under the bed, and the colors in the buckets were a little strange.Lu Li thought for a moment before he suddenly understood - a blood-stained cloth towel hung on the edge of the bucket gave him the answer.

More than half of the brocade quilt on the bed fell to the floor, Lu Li subconsciously stretched out his hand to lift it off, and saw a large bloodstain on the quilt, which was shocking.

Lu Li stood there blankly for a long time, his chest ached violently.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Luzi's timid voice sounded from the door.

Lu Li raised his head and walked out slowly.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is no time to clean up outside the Chaogan Hall, the adults are waiting in the imperial study."

Lu Li went to the corridor, stood on the pillar for a while, and ordered in a deep voice: "Give Gu Lingxiao the pattern of the tunnel immediately, and ask him to take the rest of the Golden Armored Guards into the tunnel to find the whereabouts of A Yuan and Jun'er. In addition, inform Cheng Yu, call He took his cronies to look for it at the exit of the tunnel."

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shizi did not come to court today." Xiao Luzi said with his head bowed.

Lu Li frowned: "Didn't come?"

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Mr. Ding said that he took his cronies to the gate of the city to help out last night. Up to now, there has been no news. People from the Duke's mansion are looking for him."

Lu Li's heart tightened again.

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi had no choice but to comfort him: "Cheng Shizi is always careful, so he must have found something to delay. The servant immediately sent a letter to Commander Gu and General Xue, and will definitely find the empress as soon as possible!"

Lu Li knew that was the only way to go, so he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly ran out, but Lu Li stood at the door, unwilling to leave.

All civil and military officials are still waiting for him in the imperial study, and that is the most "business" he should do at this moment.

However, he has let down A Yuan too many times for "business".

What happened in Fanghua Palace last night, he still doesn't know until now.

A Yuan has always been very delicate, so she bled so much, it must be very painful, right?

He wasn't there when she needed him the most.

Because of his negligence, she had to endure unprecedented fright at such a dangerous time - could she bear it?
When a woman gives birth, she is close to death.

Will she come back safe and sound?
Can she blame him?
