Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 650 The Grand Finale (17)
Ji Chonglian nodded dejectedly, it seems that all they can do now is wait.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly smelled a pungent smell, and Ji Chonglian woke up in a daze.

Liuli had already shaken the sleeping maids beside her, and shouted in a low voice: "Wake up, wake up!"

Smoke poured in one after another. Someone must have discovered the entrance here and wanted to force them out.

Ji Chonglian was so anxious that she quickly woke up the children and asked them to cover their mouths and noses to avoid inhaling the smoke.

It was easier for the older children to follow suit, but Brother Yao was still young, and he couldn't stop crying after being woken up by the thick smoke.

"What should I do, sister, we can't stay here anymore, brother Yao won't be able to bear it."

Princess Minfu coughed and covered Brother Yao's face with her hand.

Ji Chongyu gritted his teeth, and said: "Sister, I will take a few guards to walk ahead, you follow me, you can't be trapped here, maybe there will be a way out!"

The smog gradually increased, and there was no longer any hesitation. Staying here could only mean death. If you go out, life or death will be decided by God.

"go out!"

Ji Chonglian nodded, took the hands of a few children and followed behind Ji Chongyu.

Several guards cleared the way with their swords, and when they approached the entrance of the passage, they danced their swords and killed them.

At the moment outside the passage, there is already a melee, the enemy and the enemy are unknown, Ji Chonglian can only protect the children, and try to run to a place where there are no people. Princess Minfu hugs the child and follows her closely, but his eyes are also searching around. Looking at Ji Chongyu's figure.

There was a sound of slashing and killing not far away, as if a group of people were rushing over here, Ji Chonglian felt panicked, could it be that they were really going to perish here today, but they didn't want to be surprised before they got close to the leader He shouted, "Cousin, princess, I finally found you!"

"It's Cousin Shi!"

Princess Minfu's eyes lit up. Shi Yong wasn't supposed to be on duty today, so he went back to his home in Dongcheng to be with Hai Lanzhu's mother and son, but his appearance here undoubtedly gave them hope.

Ji Chonglian also showed joy, stepped forward a few steps and said: "Big cousin, go help Chongyu!"

Although Ji Chongyu has learned martial arts since he was a child, most of them are for physical fitness. He took the road of imperial examinations, so naturally he will not practice martial arts to the peak. She is also worried about his safety.

Shi Yong nodded, leaving a few people to guard Ji Chonglian and the others, turned around and ran towards the rockery.

Princess Minfu hugged Brother Yao tightly, and looked over there.

Ji Chonglian asked a few maids to watch over the child, then turned around and pulled a guard brought by Shi Yong to the side to ask, "How is the situation outside?"

The guard said respectfully: "Back to Mrs. Hou, originally only the guards of the Hou's mansion were resisting desperately. The captain brought us to the place after hearing the news, but there were too many people in Wucheng Bingmasi, and we were outnumbered and almost died." If you are going to be defeated, fortunately Master He led the people from Fengtai camp to kill him, and now the entire Hou Mansion has been surrounded by them, fortunately there is no serious problem!"

Ji Chonglian felt relieved, Dudu He of Fengtai Camp and Master Ye had a fateful friendship, and Dudu He also made great contributions when the emperor defeated the King of Lingnan and entered the capital, and now Master Ye is leading the Jinwu Guard to guard the emperor , He Dudu can come here, could it be that he was entrusted by Pei Yan?
Shi Yong led his men and quickly wiped out the people who broke into the Hou's mansion. An Ye arrived later, but Yang Fan was stabbed with a sword. After hearing the news, Huan Zi immediately rushed to take care of him.

The people almost didn't see it all night, and soon it was dawn.

The closed palace gate finally opened slowly, and Pei Yan galloped out alone. The changes in the palace last night were also thrilling, but now that everything has come to an end, he hopes to confirm the safety of his family at the first moment. Worrying.

When he flew back to the Marquis' Mansion, he saw Pei Yan, the guard outside the door, and finally felt relieved. Since He Yao led the people from the Fengtai Camp here, everything should still be under control.

It's just that He Taboo is not in the Hou's mansion at the moment but in the Ye's mansion.

Last night, the Wucheng soldiers and horses were not only ordered to surround the Hou's mansion, but also Ye's mansion, Mr. Jiang Ge's mansion, Mr. Dongfang's mansion, and many ministers' mansions who were at odds with the Queen's faction. When they arrived, they could only rush to the west city first, some people didn't have time to rescue them, and all parties suffered a lot of damage.

The Hou Mansion was intruded by people from Wucheng Bingmasi. Although it was not in a mess, it was still damaged. After Ji Chonglian escaped from the disaster, he ordered people to tidy up the mansion, and the order in the mansion is currently being restored.

The children were still asleep, and Ji Chonglian didn't wake them up. She just washed and changed into clean clothes, and ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast for many people. If it wasn't enough, they went to the restaurant to buy some. Last night, everyone was tired and rested. Have a mouthful of hot porridge to warm up your body.

The news of Pei Yan's return to the mansion immediately spread to the inner courtyard. Just as Ji Chonglian was about to welcome him out, he already pulled up the curtain and entered the house. He ran up to him and hugged her tightly in his arms without saying a word.

Liuli behind him smiled and retreated silently.

"Ayan, I knew you would be fine!"

Ji Chonglian had a sore nose, and tears rolled down her face. After going through everything last night, she almost thought that she would never see Pei Yan again.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."

Pei Yan exhaled a long breath, and asked again: "Are the children all right?"

"They are all well," Ji Chonglian nodded, but her voice was a little hoarse, "It's just that many guards in the mansion died, and even Yang Fan was injured. An Ye led the hidden guards to make a surprise attack, which caught them off guard. The eldest cousin led the people to rush here first, and finally Dudu He and the others came to overwhelm the people from Wucheng Bingmasi!"

Ji Chonglian backed away a little, seeing Pei Yan's haggard appearance, she couldn't help reaching out to caress his face, and said softly, "What about you? What happened in the palace last night?"

"The empress hanged herself in Kunning Palace, Duke Zhu's blood splashed on the Golden Temple!"

Although these words came out of Pei Yan's mouth lightly, Ji Chonglian could still imagine the tragedy of last night, and her heart was still full of panic.

If Empress Shi hadn't chosen to gamble for power, perhaps today she is still sitting firmly on the throne of empress, and the glory of the Shi family would not come to an abrupt end at this time.

"Did the eldest prince know about it, or did he also participate in it?"

Ji Chonglian asked Pei Yan to sit down, turned around and poured the hot water from the kettle into the copper basin, and wiped his face with a hot handkerchief.

"Perhaps the eldest prince doesn't know about it," Pei Yan sighed, wiped his face with a cotton kerchief, and then said: "However, the emperor has decided to confine the eldest prince in Youzhou, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing for life!"
