Chapter 170 The Mountains and Rivers Are Innocent
Gu Chaobei's eyes were reddish, but Gu Chaonan, who was behind him, made a decisive decision. When he came up, he stabbed the emperor unconscious with a knife in his hand, and got on his horse to take him away.

Delaying time is wasting the lives of the soldiers in the rear, which are all human lives.

As soon as Yuwen Changqing rebelled, it was no problem to escape from the capital. The remnants of the Southern Camp and the Imperial Forest Army did not love to fight, and they retreated while fighting.Fortunately, there are many hutongs in central Beijing, and there are various organs arranged by the students at the beginning. In the process of retreating, not many people were lost.

The Empress Dowager Nian was sent to a safe place by the emperor half a month ago, but Shen Guiyan was unwilling to leave, she stayed with the people all day long, and even waited for him in the barracks every day, only willing to fall asleep when she saw that he was safe.

So in the current palace, only Shen Guiyan is left.

When Gao Jinxiu was brought over by Baoshan crying, she was dumbfounded.Shen Guiyan's head was covered with sweat, and something flowed out from under her body.

"I'm going to give birth!"

There were palace people outside urging her to leave quickly, Gao Jinxiu originally planned to come to take Yan'er away.But why was he born at this time, the amniotic fluid broke.

Taking it on the road like this, it must be a dead body and two lives. Needless to say.There was no time to think about it, Gao Jinxiu gritted her teeth and said to the people behind her: "I'll stay, you guys have to go!"

Shen Guiyan is still conscious, but saves her energy and refuses to speak much.This is her first child, and it is such a dangerous situation to give birth unexpectedly.But no matter what, she wants to keep the child.

There was no midwife, neither Bao Shan nor Gao Jinxiu had experience, but Bao Shan went to prepare hot water anyway, and Gao Jinxiu helped cheer Shen Guiyan up.

"I... I don't know what to say, but you have to hold on." Gao Jinxiu burst into tears, looked at Shen Guiyan's pale face and said, "If this child can be born, it will definitely be blessed by heaven of."

Shen Guiyan inhaled lightly, reached out and took the handkerchief next to her and bit it in her mouth, waiting for the pain in her stomach, and followed Gao Jinxiu's strength.

The shouts outside shook the sky, the gate of the capital opened wide, and the gate of the imperial city was also in jeopardy.Wen Shoushan went into the city to massacre the people, laughing wildly.

"Take that imperial city for me, and the world will be ours!"

The morale of the soldiers was so high that they completely forgot that the people in the city were just like them. They killed everyone they saw and robbed the women of the people. They were no better than bandits and Japanese pirates.There was a lot of crying in the city, and the old people in the prison and the official house survived, but the people staying in their own houses still suffered a lot of casualties.

Not long after, the gate of the imperial city opened, and there was no one inside.

The palace lantern was broken, and someone's silk silk was scattered on the ground before it was too late to take it away.The maid's hairpin, the eunuch's boots, the broken curtain.Everyone inside has gone.

"Where's the emperor?" Wen Shoushan asked with a serious face.

Just now I was busy attacking the city and didn't pay attention, and Yuwen Changqing disappeared anyway.

Shen Guiwu, who was wearing a lottery on his body, came up and said, "The [-] troops led by Yuwen Changqing have rebelled, and they have taken the emperor to Lizhou."

"What?!" Wen Shoushan was furious: "He is just around the corner to become a Marquis and Prime Minister, so how could he temporarily rebel?"

Shen Guiwu shook his head: "I don't know the end general, but if he leaves, our remnant soldiers after the war will probably not be able to catch up."

"How long has it been?"

"General Yuwen's men entered the city, and it has been two hours already."

Wen Shoushan cursed angrily, and he wondered why the wars in the past few months always seemed to be known about the strategic deployment. It turned out to be the traitor Yuwen Changqing.

"What should we do now?" Fu Xueshi hurriedly said: "The emperor has fled, and it is not fair for us to keep this capital. How can we support Lord Mingyu to take the throne?"

Wen Shoushan also wants to know this question, okay?The emperor is still alive and has not passed on the throne, unless he continues to fight to Lizhou, but that is Prince Gong's territory.

How is this good?

A baby's cry resounded throughout the palace, startling everyone.Wen Shoushan frowned, Fu Xueshi hastily said: "Concubine Yan?!"

In Gu Chaobei's harem, the only pregnant woman was Shen Guiyan.But the emperor loves her so much, how could it be possible that she is still in the palace when the imperial city is broken?

Everyone followed the sound.

In the huge Yonghe Palace, there were several women's cries. When the door of the main hall was pushed open, a court lady was crying with joy while holding a newborn baby: "Mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe..."

Gao Jinxiu raised his eyes and saw the person at the door, his face pale.

Wen Shoushan came in with Fu Xueshi, glanced at Shen Guiyan, who seemed to have passed out with her eyes closed, on the bed, and her eyes fell on the crying baby.

"Dragon son?"

Baoshan looked at the group of people in horror, and backed away repeatedly holding the prince in his arms: "What are you doing? This is the delivery room of the empress, how can I let you enter randomly!"

"Empress?" Fu Xueshi snorted coldly: "The emperor has already escaped, but you still treat her as an empress."

Baofan was taken aback.

The emperor is gone?How is it possible, the master is still here, how could the emperor leave first.

Wen Shoushan slowly approached her, and stretched out his hand to her: "Give me a hug of the child."

"No..." Bao Shan shivered and retreated to Shen Guiyan's bedside: "What do you want to do?"

Gao Shi was also panicked, Shen Guiyan gave birth to a boy, which is terrible!

Wen Shoushan was too lazy to talk to her, so he just reached out to snatch the child.

Before touching the swaddling baby, someone opened his hand violently, and then a woman with disheveled hair rushed over, pushed him away, and protected him in front of the swaddling baby.

"Master!" Baoshan burst into tears, "You can't get out of bed yet..."

After giving birth, I almost lost all strength and couldn't move around at all.Although the child was delivered naturally, the mother's pain was not less.

Shen Guiyan didn't want to stand up, but if she didn't stand up, who else could stand up to protect her child?
"This is the flesh and blood of my palace, who dares to touch it?" Shen Guiyan said in a deep voice as she looked at Wen Guozhang in front of her, her eyes still sharp.

Wen Guozhang was full of anger, looking at this lunatic woman, he was a little scared.

"This imperial city is already ours." Unable to be suppressed by a woman, Wen Guozhang stood firm and said angrily: "Don't think you are so superior, now you are just a prisoner."

The child behind him was crying, and Shen Guiyan glanced at the sky outside.

It was gloomy, and the smell of blood could still be smelled in the air. It turned out that the capital city was already broken.

"Where's the emperor?" she asked softly.

Fu Xueshi snorted coldly and said: "The emperor has already taken people away, so he doesn't care about your life or death."

Body slightly stiff, Shen Guiyan stared at him blankly for a while, then turned around and hugged her child in her arms.

Gu Chaobei, he must have not had time to pick her up.It's a pity that I couldn't see the child for the first time.She was also to blame for being so stubborn in wanting to stay in the capital and not wanting to be separated from him.

The result is now finally separated.

Wen Shoushan looked at the child in her hand, his eyes were slightly bright, and he pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to raise this little prince well and grow up safely? You can continue to be your imperial concubine and empress, with enough food and clothing. , the same will not be missing."

Shen Guiyan smiled lightly, God was unfair, she had no choice but to give birth to a boy at this time, either she took the child to hell with her, or she survived with this child.

She chose the latter because she still wanted...and wanted to see Gu Chaobei again.

"If you have any orders, just say it. Gui Yan is just a girl, and the emperor is not around, so Gui Yan has nothing to depend on. Gui Yan is just a mother. She can keep her child alive, and she can discuss what she wants to do. "

"Okay!" Wen Shoushan laughed loudly: "I like you who know the current affairs best. Come on, follow me to the Dragon Throne in the Chaotang Hall!"

Shen Guiyan's eyes were blurred, and her body was too weak to stand still.Gao Shi and Bao Shan supported her from left to right, and they barely let her go out.

"You can't see the wind during confinement." Baoshan cried and wrapped his master tightly with a cloak: "What are you doing listening to these rebellious officials and thieves, you don't have to go..."

Shen Guiyan hugged her son, sat on her shoulders, and forced a smile: "I still have to live well, I don't care about so much."

Baoshan couldn't hold back, looked at the direction Jianyu was going away, fell down on the palace road and cried loudly.

She knew that her master couldn't cry at this time, so she could only help her and cry out all her grievances.

The capital fell and the emperor fled. Wenshoushan took the infant prince as the "young master" and threatened to wait for the emperor to return to the capital.

To put it bluntly, your son is in my hands, and he is too young now. You can come back and hold your son, but you have to surrender your life and the throne.Of course, you don't have to come, then I will use the name of this child to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

When Gu Chaobei received the news, it was already ten days later.

The weather was unbelievably cold, the emperor stood on the Lizhou city tower, looking in the direction of the capital, his face pale.

"Your Majesty, Princess Duanwen has led the soldiers from Huainan to serve the king. It will not be difficult for our army to retain the main force and attack the capital again," Gu Chaonan reported.

Gu Chaobei remained motionless.

"emperor?"

"Second brother, did you hear the cry?" the emperor turned his head blankly, looked at Gu Chaonan and asked.

cry?Gu Chaonan was a little dazed, looked around: "No."

"I heard it." Gu Chaobei smiled, pointed to the distance, and his eyes were bright: "The child's, hers."

The empty cry echoed in the sky, lingering around him, tearing at his heart, as painful as it was being torn.

Gu Chaonan was startled, lowered his head and remained silent.

Keeping Concubine Yan Gui in the capital, the emperor will not have a normal day.He never thought that the carefree Gu Chaobei would become like this now.

However, the military situation is urgent.

"When will Duanwen arrive?" Gu Chaobei asked.

Gu Chaonan replied in a low voice: "Two months later."

They don't lose strategy, what they lose is only military strength.Once the forces of all parties are assembled, the capital will definitely be taken back.
