Chapter 236 Midnight Crisis
When the Holy Majesty knew about this, he became very angry and ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion to conduct a thorough investigation.

Zhuhua received the news the next day, and knew that the investigation would definitely fall on a certain prince, so she told everyone in the mansion to be more cautious, so as not to be smashed by the flying pot again.After five days like this, before the three yamen said anything was found, the prince who attacked the prince couldn't sit still.One night, he released the soldiers who had agreed to rebel into Chang'an, and brought a team of troops with him into the palace.

That night, Zhuhua, who slept a little drowsily, always felt that there was some noise outside, as if the dog in the house had been barking.She woke up from her dream and pulled Prince Ping beside her.In fact, King Ping was not asleep, he was pulled a few times by her and slowly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Prince Ping asked in a good voice.

"I always feel that there is movement outside, it can't be a thief?"

"Maybe it's hot, and there's a lot of snakes."

"Snake? Someone has to check the garden tomorrow. It would be bad if it hurts the child."

"It's even worse to hurt you." He said and held her in his arms.

"Talking nonsense again." Zhuhua frowned helplessly, but soon fell asleep in her arms.

King Ping still didn't sleep. He knew that it was King Huo who led the troops into the city outside. He also knew that the army led by King Huo was not only the Shen family army, but also some soldiers from the Chinese army. Fan Dalang.

The Fan family is the natal family of Mrs. Zhen Guohou's wife, because of the Zhen Guohou case, the Fan family has also been implicated, and these years have been rather unsatisfactory.And because of the matter of Fan Sanlang and Zhuhua, Fan Dalang and Cheng Dashan have an awkward relationship. In private, he often tells people that the relationship between the two parties is not good, and he has made other complaints to some extent.Afterwards, King Huo secretly recruited Fan Dalang under his command.Years ago, officials were transferred, and many officials under Huo Wang were no longer available, and only Fan Dalang was promoted without being affected.

After failing to assassinate the prince, he thought that the relationship with the prince was not good, even if the incident was not found out, the prince would not make them feel better in the future, so he simply joined forces with Fan Dalang and the Shen family to rebel.He didn't know that Fan Dalang had always been a pawn placed by the Holy Majesty around him, and this time he led troops into the city to suppress the Shen family's army at any time.

When King Huo led his troops into the palace, he didn't know that the Holy Majesty knew about his plan. He originally wanted to force the Holy Majesty to abdicate. If you don't want to, you have to.After waiting for a long time, Concubine Shen Gui who was invited by him also persuaded the Holy Majesty for a long time, but the people sent to arrest the princes of various mansions did not come back.

King Huo didn't know he had fallen into a trap until Fan Dalang entered the hall to present the head of today's general from the Shen family.As soon as Fan Dalang appeared, the guards who had been hiding on the beams in the hall also appeared to protect the Holy One behind him.Seeing that the general situation was over, King Huo couldn't help but shuddered and fell to the ground. He raised his eyes and looked at his pale mother and concubine. The two of them knew that they couldn't argue, and neither opened their mouths.But they didn't argue, but another person entered the hall to defend himself, and this person was King Qin.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong from the outside, he killed his Shen family cousin who accompanied him into the palace, and entered the palace dressed in blood.

"Father, Father, you are fine." He seemed relieved to see the Holy Majesty standing safely, and then knelt down to salute, without looking at his elder brother and mother concubine at all.

"I met the rebellious party at home, and heard that they intend to plot rebellion tonight. They feared that I would leak the news, and took me captive to the palace. Fortunately, my father is fine, and my son is finally relieved."

"Anti-party, what anti-party?" The Holy One asked lightly.

The king of Qin immediately panicked and said: "Your minister is guilty, the rebel who took him into the palace is the elder brother of the side concubine in the son's mansion."

"Where is he now?"

"It has been killed by the minister."

The Holy Majesty heard this, paused for a moment, and said: "Well done, you have always been a smart boy, and I have thought about nurturing you before. It's just that your mind is not right, and you don't dare to do things upright, and you don't have a gentleman's demeanor. You should If you kill your cousin, I won't be suspicious of you anymore. I'm even thinking now, if your elder brother succeeds now, will you come out to "destroy relatives with righteousness" and finally win the throne. "

"I don't dare." King Qin broke out in a cold sweat. He also knew that his father might not believe him, but this was his only chance to defend himself in front of his father.He didn't expect that his father had already come to a conclusion in his heart, and guessed his original plan.

"You rebellious son, you actually killed your cousin, and even rebelled against the party, don't you remember that your mother and concubine are also from the Shen family?" Concubine Shen shouted at King Qin with red eyes, then sighed, and looked at him sadly. He: "Sure enough, your child is not as good as your brother. It was right not to let you know at the beginning. Now that the matter has come to this point, you can't pick it clean. The Holy One will only remember that you have the blood of the Shen family on you, how could you think of it?" You are also his son, why not follow us."

As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her bosom and cut her neck to kill herself.The Holy Majesty never thought that she would be like this, so he was stunned for a while, and then he recruited two guards to protect him. He stood behind and watched Concubine Shen Gui, who was twitching in a pool of blood, was staring at him closely.He felt that there was no hatred in her tearful eyes, only unwillingness and nostalgia, but he couldn't tell whether this nostalgia was for him or the glory of this world.

King Huo knew that there was no way out for committing a serious crime today, and he prepared a dagger and wanted to commit suicide when he failed, but he didn't dare to take out the dagger after seeing the frightening death of Concubine Shen Gui.The Holy One glanced at Huo Wang who was still hesitating, then turned his head and ordered: "Take a group of criminals into custody, and let the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai decide the case."

"Yes." A general in the hall responded.

At this time, it was already dawn outside, and the people outside Chang'an City who wanted to enter the city suddenly found that the city gate had not been opened, and after asking, they found out that the rebels were being arrested inside.The morning court was also cancelled, and the ministers watched with trepidation as the inner guard appeared on the street, and a group of people rushed into the Shen residence.Those with good eyes and ears already knew what happened, and were secretly discussing it with the officials they were close to.

Changzi, who was standing guard in the palace, also heard about it. He heard that there were rebels who went to various palaces, and he was worried about Zhuhua, even though others said that these rebels were killed by General Fan before they even entered the palace. , he couldn't be relieved either.After a while, he went to Prince Ping's Mansion to see the pearl flowers.

Now Zhuhua finally knew what was going on outside, and she found out from the officials in the prince's mansion next door.She still remembered the snake trouble at night all morning, and now she has asked her servants to search the garden, but they couldn't find any snakes. She wondered if it was rats that caused the trouble at night, and only now did she realize that it was really a thief. .

Because Prince Ping's Mansion is next to the Prince's Mansion, the outside of the Prince's Mansion was also the most severely beaten last night. I heard that the bricks outside the Prince's Mansion were soaked in blood, and they couldn't be cleaned no matter how they were washed.In contrast, the front of Prince Ping's mansion is quite clean, Zhuhua wonders if no one actually thought of killing Prince Ping.When she went to inquire, she found that assassins had been there in every palace, and there had been fights in front of the palace. Even the princess' mansion was visited by people, and the princess personally commanded the generals to subdue the rebellious party at the gate.

It is estimated that this Chang'an is also Pingwang's mansion, no one came, Zhuhua thought sourly, what made her speechless the most was that she didn't notice it in the middle of the night, and no one came in to report.Probably the dog barked too loudly to cover up the outside sound, Zhuhua found a reason for herself.

She was thinking about it when the bowels came.He knew at the door that Prince Ping's mansion was fine last night, and when he came in and saw Zhuhua standing upright, he was completely relieved.

"Sister, it's good that you're fine, then I'll go back." He was anxious to go back home, Xu Shi found out that he was pregnant with a child last month, now he can't wait to hang around Xu Shi every day.

As soon as the two met each other, he was about to leave, which made Zhuhua very upset.

"Wait, talk about the outside things first." She waved at him, wanting to stay with him for a while.

"It's nothing serious, let my brother-in-law come back and talk about it." He turned his head and said as he walked, and he had already left the courtyard gate after speaking.

Zhuhua stood there in a daze. In the past, when Changzi came to Pingwang's mansion, she couldn't drive him away, but now he left without even talking to her!Pressing her chest, she finally understood the feelings of her mother-in-laws.

After a while, King Ping also returned to the mansion, and seeing Zhuhua standing in the room in a bad mood, he wondered if it was because he purposely prevented her from noticing the fighting outside last night.

"What's the matter, are you scared by what happened outside?" King Ping asked deliberately.

"Outside?" Zhuhua came back to her senses and asked in confusion, and immediately realized, "Yes, tell me what happened outside first."

King Ping tried his best to explain the matter briefly, and finally smiled to comfort himself, "Fortunately, the soldiers under General Fan were brave and no one rushed into Prince Ping's mansion."

"Tch, everyone is rushing to the Prince's Mansion, and no one would rush in." Saying that, Zhuhua said contentedly: "It seems that staying next to the Prince's Mansion is quite safe, with the big target of the Prince Now, others will no longer remember your small goal."

King Ping smiled and said, "That's true."

"Speaking of which, why doesn't anyone in our mansion hear the movement and do something? What if someone really rushed in?"

"There are guards here, and they don't come into the backyard at night unless it's time to tell us. Trespassers are shot, and it's the same with us afterward."

"What if we meet someone who wants to come to us for help?"

"The gatekeepers will deal with it first."

Zhuhua thought about it, and didn't bother about it any more.

 I feel that others will write a long time to force the palace, but I passed here in a flash
