Chapter 113

"General, General!"

Lan Qinshuang was sleeping in a daze, but she was startled by a cry. When she opened her eyes, she found a petite girl standing in front of the bed. She was wearing night clothes and her face was covered with a black cloth. A pair of eyes were exposed, revealing a look of anxiety.

"General, I was sent by Miss Su!" Seeing that she instinctively felt for the dagger under the pillow, An Xiang hurriedly explained her identity first.

"Miss Su sent it?" Lan Qinshuang was startled and sat up, but her eyes were still staring at her vigilantly.

"I'm Anxiang." Anxiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly took off the black scarf on her face.

Seeing that it was her, Lan Qinshuang breathed a sigh of relief, put on her coat, and said calmly, "Don't panic, speak slowly, what happened?"

"General Lan, Your Majesty is dead!" An Xiang said.

"What?" Lan Qinshuang froze when she heard the words, "Say it again?"

"Your Majesty passed away just now." An Xiang said with a mournful face.

"What did your Highness order?" Lan Qinshuang said in a deep voice.

"Miss Su and Mr. Mu went to see His Majesty tonight, until the second watch, when the death knell suddenly sounded in the palace." Although An Xiang was panicked, she still spoke in an orderly manner without any confusion, "Mr. Mu came back and said that they were halfway Knowing that the Empress has passed away, Miss Su has already gone to His Majesty's bedroom, and it was my palace master who ordered me to inform General Lan and prepare immediately to control the capital."

Lan Qinshuang couldn't help admiring secretly, none of the men Su Hailing married was a vase.

"General Lan?" An Xiang reminded.

"Don't worry, this will happen sooner or later. I have already prepared for it, and there will be no mistakes." Lan Qinshuang replied, "It's just that if there are [-] imperial forest troops in the imperial city, if they are bewitched by rebellious officials to guard the four gates , but it’s not easy.”

"It doesn't matter." Anxiang quickly replied, "The guards of the second gate in the southeast have already belonged to Miss Su. As for the other two who don't have eyes, my Palace Mistress and Young Master Haoyue will personally get rid of them."

"That's good." Lan Qinshuang nodded, took off the sword hanging on the wall and went out.

"General Lan, wait!" An Xiang chased after her, took out a token from the Wu Nian Sword School and stuffed it in her hand, explaining, "Before I came, I met another confidant of Miss Su, she It is said that people in the Jianghu do not understand the matter of marching and setting up formations. If General Lan needs a master to do something that a sergeant cannot do, he will send someone to take this token to the rejuvenation drug store on West Street. They will wait for the general. Dispatch."

"It's so good." Lan Qinshuang was overjoyed. She was worried that some of her plans were not fully sure, but now that there is this wind coming to her door, it couldn't be better!

"An Xiang bids farewell." Seeing that the matter was explained, An Xiang covered her face again, jumped into the body, and disappeared into the night.

The master of Xuanming Palace is really extraordinary!Lan Qinshuang looked at the token in her hand again, pondered for a while, and shouted, "Come here!"

"General, what's the matter?" Lu Zhu rushed over immediately.

"Lu Zhu, beat the drum and gather the generals!" Lan Qinshuang shouted.

"Yes!" Luzhu just stayed for a while, and immediately went to deliver the order.

Although she didn't know what her general wanted to do in the middle of the night, she always regarded Lan Qinshuang as a god, and she didn't have any doubts.

Lan Qinshuang looked up at the dark night sky, caressing the hilt of the sword with her palm, a surge of pride surged in her chest.

Tomorrow morning will be the moment when the dust settles!

On the other side, Murong Zi, who had received the news of Anxiang, also made preparations and gathered all the masters of the Wu Nian Sword Sect in the capital in the rejuvenation medicine shop.

After a while, Lu Zhu sent Lan Qinshuang's order with the token.

After discussing secretly for a while, Lu Zhu left quietly, and Murong Zi immediately summoned all his subordinates.

"Sect Leader, what are your orders?"

Looking at the eager faces below, Murong Zi couldn't help smiling, and said, "Her Majesty has passed away. Now, you will sneak into the residences of the ministers according to the original arrangement... I don't think I need to teach you how to do it, I will No matter what method you use, in short, before dawn, let them go to the gate of the palace to respectfully invite Princess Ruiqing to ascend the throne."

"Yes!" The people below all agreed, and left quickly, leaving only a cold-faced woman of eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Ning Xin, you can go too." Murong Zi said solemnly to her, "Lan Qinshuang only has half of the army in the capital. Commander, this battle may destroy half of the capital. Your task...is very heavy!"

"Ning Xin understands." The cold-faced woman nodded.

When only herself was left in the room, Murong Zi sighed deeply.

For 300 years, the Murong family has prepared for 300 years, and this day has finally come.

However... There was still no news from the Phantom Gate, but she couldn't help but cast a cloud over her heart.

At the same time, Su Hailing has stepped into Chaoyun Palace.

"How?" Mu Qingchen said.

"Where are Junhan and Haoyue?" Su Hailing was stunned for a moment before asking.

"Anxiang went to inform Lan Qinshuang and Murong Zi, and Junhan and Haoyue went to open the two northwest gates of the palace." Mu Qingchen replied briefly.

Su Hailing understood their intentions as soon as he heard it, nodded secretly, and said again: "Your Majesty passed away as expected, and gave me a will."

"Edict?" Mu Qingchen looked at her puzzled.

"Prince An Su Yuling poisoned the king and seized the throne." Su Hailing said in a low voice.

"What? No..." Mu Qingchen retorted intuitively. He took the pulse himself. Although Su Xueling had taken a lot of harmful things, it would not cause him to die suddenly.However, seeing Su Hailing's expression, his heart froze, and after realizing it, he also lowered his voice and said, "Could it be... Your Majesty intends to frame King An?"

"That's right." Su Hailing sighed, "My imperial sister, once I make a decision, I'm really merciless, even if I'm so cruel to myself."

Mu Qingchen was stunned, speechless for a while.

"She took the Lichen Grass, and a thousand-year-old snow ginseng sent to the palace by King An three days ago contained the poison of the Lichen Grass." Su Hailing said.

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it." Mu Qingchen said with a wry smile.

"She knows that King Jin is not my opponent, and King An..." Su Hailing shook his head and said, "Without her, wouldn't I be no match for Su Yuling?"

"It's always good to save trouble, otherwise the people will be the ones who suffer if there is a war." Mu Qingchen said indifferently.

"Yes." Su Hailing nodded.

"My lord, it's time for you to drink the medicine." Mu Xin came over with a cup of medicine.

"Give it to me." Su Hailing took it, served Mu Qingchen to drink it, and stuffed a plum in his mouth to remove the bitterness.

"You carry such snacks with you!" Mu Qingchen couldn't help being angry and amused at the same time.

Su Hailing gave him a blank look, feeling a little depressed.

Although she carried sour plums with her because of Mu Qingchen, in modern times, plums are very common snacks. Although she doesn't like to eat snacks, she will occasionally take one when her stomach is upset, so as not to taste bland in her mouth .But here, the plum is the patent of the pregnant woman!

"Miss Su, young master, what should we do?" Mu Xin said with some panic.

"Mu Xin, you just need to protect Qingchen every step of the way." Su Hailing patted his head and comforted him, "It's only for one night, tomorrow will be fine."

"En." Mu Xin nodded vigorously, "Mu Xin will not let the young master suffer any harm!"

"Hailing, where are you going?" Mu Qingchen frowned.

"The emperor's coffin is in Fengning Palace, I'll go there and wait for King An and King Jin." Su Hailing said.

"Are you alone?" Mu Qingchen looked displeased.

"If you're not sleepy, just go with me." Su Hailing said with a smile, "Bring those two things."

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Mu Qingchen gave her a blank look, turned around and brought a brocade box, which was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and the edict of Chuanwei.

"Let's go there." Su Hailing said.

Mu Xin hurriedly took a warm cloak to put on Mu Qingchen.

Walking out of Chaoyun Palace, the night wind really felt a bit of coolness.The whole palace was almost dead silent, not a single sound could be heard, just like the calm before the storm.

Su Hailing wasn't worried about Mei Junhan and Haoyue. With their martial arts, it was not difficult to assassinate a general who only had horse skills. With Lan Qinshuang's army outside, I'm afraid no one had the energy to do it. What assassin to look for.

The only trouble is King An and King Jin. There must be their eyeliners in the palace. It is easy to spread the news. The Queen's death must not be hidden from them.

Ouyang Xun's movements were quick, perhaps it was Su Xueling's explanation earlier, in this short time, white Potatoes have been hung everywhere in the palace, and the maids and servants also tied a white cloth strip around their arms.

Su Hailing and Mu Qingchen stepped into Fengning Palace, and the person who greeted them was Yan Ruoyun, the queen of the Phoenix, who was all in plain clothes.

"Greetings to Empress Feng." It was the first time Su Hailing saw him, and he couldn't help feeling that such a gentle and strong man, it's no wonder that someone like Su Xueling would be sincerely moved.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be too polite." Yan Ruoyun's tone was calm, but there didn't seem to be any sadness.

"Fengning Palace may be noisy for a while..." Su Hailing hesitated.

"It's okay." Yan Ruoyun said coldly, "The person is gone, so it doesn't matter anymore."

Su Hailing frowned slightly, then sighed softly.

Although she promised Su Xueling to take care of Yan Ruoyun, if he himself has no interest in life, what can outsiders do?

After paying homage to Su Xueling's body, the two walked out of Fengning Palace, Mu Xin greeted him, and stuffed the hand warmer he had been holding into Mu Qingchen's hand.

"That Empress Feng, I'm afraid she will go with the queen." Mu Qingchen said directly.

"I know. But...if he thinks it's a relief, how can I force him to stay." Su Hailing said helplessly.

"I only know that if you're not here, I... will definitely go with you." Mu Qingchen turned his head to look at her, his eyes seemed to be shining like stars.

Su Hailing couldn't help being surprised and delighted, Mu Qingchen has always been slow in love, even though he clearly knew that he had himself in his heart, but it was the first time he heard him say it so clearly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen didn't seem to know that what he said would have such a big impact.

"Qingchen..." Su Hailing couldn't help pulling his hand, and said solemnly, "I will never betray you in this life!"

"I know." Mu Qingchen said.

Listening to what they said, Mu Xin stuck out her tongue with a blushing face, and quickly backed away a few steps, so as not to become a big shining lantern!
"His Royal Highness King An is here! His Royal Highness King Jin is here!" The two servants outside reported almost simultaneously.

"Here we come." Su Hailing whispered.

Mu Qingchen straightened his expression and closed the cloak on his body. Suddenly, a faint majesty radiated out.

Su Hailing looked at his lover beside him with admiration.

Mu Qingchen's aura never came from his peerless martial arts, but because he is Mu Qingchen from Xiaohan Mountain, the only descendant of Qinglian Sword Immortal.

Soon, Su Yuling and Su Jinling, who were dressed in white plain clothes, walked in each accompanied by several guards. They were startled when they saw them standing at the door.

"Sister Hailing came really fast." Su Yuling forced a smile.

"Don't dare, Hailing originally lived in the palace, so naturally he is faster than the two sisters." Su Hailing said, stepping out of the way, "Please ask the two sisters to go in and offer incense to the emperor."

Although they were very dissatisfied with her master's tone, the two of them didn't say anything at this time. They only ordered the guards to wait outside the door, and went in by themselves. She shed a few tears and said some sisterly words.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"Don't worry." Su Hailing said calmly, "Someone will send Dongfeng in a while."

Before the words were finished, Ouyang Xun strode into Fengning Palace with a team of imperial guards.

"Boss Ouyang, is this?" Su Hailing made a look of surprise on purpose.

"I've seen the princess." Ouyang Xun bowed slightly and bowed, "May I ask if His Highness King An is here?"

"The third sister is burning incense inside." Su Hailing said.

"This king is here." Su Yuling walked out from the hall, obviously also hearing the movement outside.

"Take it!" Ouyang Xun paused, and simply gave the order.

"What is the meaning of Manager Ouyang?" Su Yuling's face suddenly sank, and the guards of Prince An's Mansion immediately surrounded him.

"His Royal Highness King An is suspected of poisoning His Majesty. This manager wants to capture His Highness and hand it over to the new emperor." Ouyang Xun said expressionlessly.

"When did this king poison His Majesty?" Su Yuling asked in surprise.

"The thousand-year-old snow ginseng sent by His Royal Highness a few days ago, after taking it tonight, His Majesty died of poisoning immediately. After examination by the imperial doctor, the snow ginseng contained the poison of Lichen grass." Ouyang Xun said, waving his hand, The guards behind her immediately stepped forward, their swords unsheathed.

"This king said how could His Majesty die suddenly, but it turned out to be the fault of you, Third Sister." Su Jinling also came out and smiled coldly.

Su Yuling was in a hurry, even if she really wanted to poison Su Xueling to death, she wouldn't tamper with the things she sent in the face, is there poison in the snow ginseng?What a joke!
"Prince Jin, please be calm and don't be impatient. This matter will be handled by the new emperor." Ouyang Xun said.

"Did your majesty leave a will?" Su Jinling's eyes flashed a gleam of joy. If Su Yuling was suspected of poisoning the empress, then the throne would naturally be in her pocket!
After fighting for more than ten years, has this moment finally come?
"Your Majesty's decree, Princess Ruiqing is wise and open-minded, loves the people like a woman, and is also of the blood of the Holy Emperor. Everyone expects her to be the next empress of Dayong. If anyone refuses to accept it, she will be punished as treason!" Ouyang Xun said coldly.

"What?" Su Jinling almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

Su Xueling actually passed the throne to Su Hailing?She is her own sister!
"Hahaha..." Su Yuling burst out laughing suddenly, "So this is your plan! Good, I finally understand!"

"His Royal Highness, please show the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and the edict of passing on the throne." Ouyang Xun ignored them and said to himself.

Su Hailing smiled, took the brocade box from Mu Qingchen and opened it.

The warm jade seal and the bright yellow imperial edict hurt the hearts of Su Yuling and Su Jinling.

"Don't think that this king will be manipulated by you." Su Yuling said with a gloomy face, "This king has already made a calculation before entering the palace, and the entire capital is controlled by Ben Wang, so what about a small edict !"

"Third Sister, are you the only one with a plan?" Su Jinling said proudly, "I'm afraid it's hard to say who will win!"

"You still haven't taken down the rebellion of King Killer?" Ouyang Xun said coldly.

Hearing this, the forbidden army rushed towards Su Yuling without any hesitation, and Su Yuling's guards also started to fight back. Although they were not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, all of these people were carrying soft swords, and their skills were not weak!

Soon, the front of Fengning Palace became a melee.

Su Hailing pulled Mu Qingchen and Mu Xin away to watch the battle, while Su Jinling quietly hid in the darkness while everyone's eyes were not on her.

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the direction of the four gates of the imperial palace, and half of the dark night sky was reddened by the flames.

"It belongs to this king, and no one can take it away!" Su Yuling's face was full of ferocity.

"I'm afraid Lan Qinshuang has entered the imperial city, she is quite courageous." Mu Qingchen said in a low voice.

Su Hailing couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Attacking the palace, what kind of courage is needed to make this decision?What's more, Lan Qinshuang only received Mei Junhan's order from Anxiang, so she could judge the situation, make a judgment, and risk rebellion to attack the palace!

"I hope Junhan and Haoyue go well." Mu Qingchen sighed.

"I trust them." Su Hailing took his hand, and said again, "I always feel that Su Yuling has other preparations and won't put all his bets on the Lan family."

"If you can capture her, no matter what preparations she has, it will be useless." Mu Qingchen said, "She certainly didn't think that we would attack her when the queen just passed away, so now is the best time to attack her." Opportunity."

Su Hailing hesitated for a moment, although the imperial army brought by Ouyang Xun was well-trained and powerful, but Su Yuling's guards were all elite masters, who protected Su Yuling and retreated slowly without any confusion.

She wants to do it herself, but she doesn't want to show off her martial arts in the palace, alas... If only Mei Junhan or Haoyue came back quickly!

Just as she was thinking, suddenly, a warning surged in her heart.

"Be careful!" Mu Qingchen shouted softly.

Su Hailing didn't even think about it, and hurriedly backed away while hugging him.

There was only a crisp sound of "ding ding", and a row of feather arrows had been inserted where they were originally standing.

"Protect the princess!" Ouyang Xun was taken aback, and a trace of panic appeared on his indifferent face.

Suddenly, the originally entangled battlefield became even more chaotic...
