Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 166
After nightfall, occasionally patrolling Ouchi guards passed by on the corridor of the imperial palace.

On this day, when it was midnight, the guards on duty at the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and north of the palace came to be rotated, and they were replaced step by step as usual.

A group of guards who were replaced were already feeling sleepy.They yawned from time to time as they walked.

Suddenly, a guard rubbed his eyes, and there seemed to be a few sneaky figures outside the north gate.

He didn't know if it was his hallucination or real, so he asked the accompanying guards: "Look, what is that..."

"Ah..." Before the last sentence was finished, the hilt of the sword knocked off his head.The guard's head was bleeding profusely, and he seemed to see the wicked smiles of the guarding guards, so he fell to the ground.

The dark fragrance was floating, the doors and windows of the Zichen Hall were closed tightly, all the lights were turned off, and Hong Xing and Yu Moying were tidying up the things together.

When it was almost cleaned up, Ge Yi escorted the two of them and quickly walked out of the hall.According to the pre-arranged route, Yu Shi and the others mainly entered through the north gate, and the guards at the south gate were relatively weak, and when they arrived at the south gate, the palace was estimated to be in chaos.

They could escape in the chaos, and Murong Feng was waiting for them in a carriage outside the south gate.

This Huaxi Kingdom's imperial palace will probably never come back in her lifetime, Yu Moying thought.She turned her head and glanced briefly at everything in the hall, then stepped down the steps resolutely.

However, when she just walked to the bottom step, the graceful and luxurious figure of the Empress Dowager Yue suddenly appeared in front of her.

"If you want to leave, shouldn't you say hello to the queen mother of the Ai family?" The queen mother did not bring a few palace people with her, but brought back a few guards.

She looked at their posture and said expressionlessly: "Ye'er treats you wholeheartedly, but you leave him at this moment. Are you and your father worthy of him?"

Since Yu Moying was leaving, there was no need for her to hide anything.

"Queen Mother, he is your own son, so you should also understand that what he has for me is only a desire for possessiveness, not affection." Yu Moying met the Empress Dowager Yue's gaze coldly, "And, I My father committed treason, and if I stay a little longer, I will be more worried."

"At any time, someone will come to take me as a hostage and threaten my father. But my father doesn't care about my life or death. I don't want to die, so I have to run away."

The Empress Dowager Yue sneered when she heard the words: "Ye'er's thoughts are deep. The people he sent to watch you are not only on the bright side, but also in the dark. Do you think you can escape smoothly?"

"That's better than waiting to die. If you can escape, you won't know unless you try." Yu Moying also answered simply.

The guards behind the Empress Dowager Yue stepped forward one after another, the sword in Ge Yi's hand was out of its sheath, and Murong Feng also secretly dispatched men, so they could fight.

These guards will definitely care about the Queen Mother's life. If they hold the Queen Mother hostage, the guards will have to back down.

But when Ge Yi aimed his sword at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and waved her hand.

She turned her head and ordered: "Send the princess out of the palace."

Immediately, the Empress Dowager put a purse embroidered with gold thread into Yu Moying's hand, and whispered: "There are two brocades in here, one of which is what you want, and the other is for you." What Aijia wants to achieve, but now is not the time to open it."

"Then when do you want to open it?" Yu Moying squeezed her purse tightly, stunned for a moment, what was the Queen Mother thinking?
"When the time comes, you will know." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she turned around and left without further words. The hem of the skirt dragged a few feet away, and under the cover of the palace lanterns, it occasionally flashed dazzling brilliance.

The Empress Dowager Yue's phoenix eyes seemed to be trapped in the earlier memories, and most of the blood on her face faded.

She still remembered that before He Lianyu left with the Beiming mission that day, he told her that he could leave Yu Moying, but Yu Moying could never stay by Xiao Ye's side, because that would make Yu Moying Ying would be better off than dead.

The smell of blood in the palace has become more and more serious, the sound of fighting can be transmitted to the harem, the lights of all the palaces are lit up, and some concubines and maids havetily brought their belongings and stepped out of the door.Some did not escape, and hid directly in their own palaces.

Compared with the Yu Mansion that night, this is truly frightening.

The guards gathered around them and opened a way for them amidst the flames and cries.

Yu Moying turned her head to look at the back of the Empress Dowager Yue, and for a moment, she felt that the woman under the fine clothes was also weak, not as cold as she could make out on the surface.

In the Dragon Yin Palace, the singing and dancing continued until late at night.

However, the peaceful music at this time was mixed with bursts of shouts.The guards and imperial guards who came to report to Xiao Ye had changed several times.

Even so, the dancers and musicians did not stop dancing and music, because Xiao Ye would not let them stop.

They also had no choice but to continue playing and dancing timidly while shaking their bodies.

After a while, a Legie played the pipa in the wrong key because she was too panicked.Xiao Ye frowned slightly, and she knelt down suddenly, "This servant deserves to die."

Her face was pale, and she thought Xiao Ye would execute her on the spot, but Xiao Ye didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to signal them all to go down.

So, they scrambled to get out.However, after they all rushed out of the palace, a row of guards at the door pulled out their swords mercilessly, preventing them from even having a chance to speak, and ended their lives.

Xia Yuan, who had been standing at the door waiting for a long time, trembled unconsciously when he saw this, but now it was too late to back down, Xiao Ye ordered someone to bring him in.

"Xia Aiqing, come and play chess with me." Xiao Ye seemed in a good mood.

Xia Yuan hesitated, Xiao Ye is really not worried?
"Your Majesty, Yu Shi has led a large number of soldiers and horses to break through the third gate." He reminded tremblingly.

The chessboard has been set up, Xiao Ye dropped a sunspot in the middle, and thought: "Go on."

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, then took a white piece and put it down, "The Marquis of Changning and General Ningyuan lead their people to enter through the west gate and east gate respectively. When they arrive at Zhonghe Palace, they and Yu Shi will meet up."

"Earlier, I noticed that they said they were sick and returned to Beijing, so there must be something else hidden. Since they came back, there has been an abnormality in the deployment of the forbidden army in Chengdu. Today, they have the courage to join forces with the rebels to rebel .”

"Then what countermeasures does Ai Qing have?" Xiao Ye continued to play chess without even raising his eyelids.

Xia Yuan thought to himself, everyone has come to the palace, and it's too late to think of countermeasures...

He was about to answer, but he heard a guard rushing to report.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been surrounded by rebels, and they are already approaching here."

"Your Majesty..." Xia Yuan's heartbeat was about to reach his throat, and he looked into Xiao Ye's eyes timidly.

Xiao Ye flicked his sleeves, but let the guard go down.

"Come on, Xia Aiqing, let's take ours." He took another black chess piece from the chess bowl.However, he didn't put it down immediately, but slowly put his eyes down after circling the chessboard a few times.

Xia Yuan frowned, thinking, Xiao Ye didn't take any countermeasures in advance, is he really planning to step aside?

But when he lowered his head and was about to place his white chess piece, his heart was startled, Xiao Ye left him a dead end!
"Let's play another game." Xiao Ye smiled silently, and then brushed all the pieces on the chessboard to the ground with his sleeve.

At this moment, the gate of the palace was kicked open by Shuo Ran. In front of a group of armored soldiers, Yu Shi, wearing a toga with long sleeves, walked into the palace step by step with a fierce look in his eyes.

Seemingly sensing the sudden intrusion of outsiders, the originally warm and gorgeous wall lamps in the hall began to drop in temperature, and the atmosphere condensed to the extreme.

Yu Shi's long hair was tied up high, just like when he was the left prime minister, but his eyes were already filled with ambition.

"Little Xiao Ye, the old man actually met you again so soon." Following his heart, even his steps became a little eager.

Xiao Ye got up, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at him carefully, "Prime Minister Yu said this to me beforehand. It seems that Prime Minister Yu really wants to sit in my seat."

Yu Shi snorted coldly: "The old man has been waiting for this day for a long time."

As he said that, he glanced at Xia Yuan who didn't even dare to lift his head from the corner of his eye, "I regard you as the most proud student, but in the end, you betrayed me. Today, you will die together with Xiao Ye's son. "

Xia Yuan's voice could not be lowered, "Yu Xiangye, I have never forgotten your kindness to me, but because of the situation that day, I had no choice but to make false claims with His Majesty. In fact, I was waiting for you."

Yu Shi didn't pay too much attention to this scum, he snorted coldly, "You know the truth that a man who knows the current affairs is a hero, but why should I trust you anymore? If you can come up with enough reasons, After the old man ascends the throne, you will continue to be your right minister."

When Xiao Ye heard this, a cold light appeared in his eyes. He looked at Xia Yuan quickly, only to see Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment.

After a while, Xia Yuan was trembling, and casually touched a few of the scattered chess pieces.

"Yu Xiangye, before you came, I quenched the poison on these chess pieces." He cast a faint look at Xiao Ye, "Your Majesty, at this moment, the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, and it is too late for you to take the antidote." .”

"Even you betrayed me!" Xiao Ye finally felt a little annoyed, and with his palms closed, he hit Xia Yuan directly.

Xia Yuan hurriedly hid under the table, barely avoiding the palm.Xiao Ye immediately thought of a second palm, but the poison in his body exploded, so he could only hold his chest first.

Yu Shi laughed loudly, "Okay, well done, you are the old man's capable hero."

Afterwards, he sarcastically said to Xiao Ye: "Son Xiao Ye, don't fight with trapped beasts anymore, just capture them with nothing."

As he said that, several soldiers behind him had strode into the hall, showing their knives.

The front and back palaces are all occupied by Yu Shi's people. At this time, a fly should not be able to fly out.

With a stagger, Xiao Ye fell to the ground, but he suddenly said with a sarcasm: "Yu Xiang, you want to be the emperor so much, but in fact, you will never be the emperor."
