When the afterglow faded, the sky gradually darkened.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and gloomy, and it looked like a violent storm was about to come at any time.

The Qinzheng Palace was depressing and disturbing.

As the time lengthened little by little, the darkness was completely shrouded. Emperor Zhaoming paced, his voice becoming more and more anxious: "There is still no news coming in from outside?"

This was the twenty-sixth time he asked the chamberlain around him today. Ever since the Queen Mother woke up from a coma and insisted on leaving the palace, he has been in this restless state until now.

Li De'an lowered his head in fear: "Back to the emperor, not yet."

Emperor Zhaoming asked again: "Didn't Yan Donghuang threaten me with the Queen Mother?"

"Not even when I return to the emperor." Li De'an shook his head, "I ordered people to keep an eye on the outside of the palace. If there is any trouble, I will report it to the emperor as soon as possible."

Emperor Zhaoming didn't speak any more, he just kept pacing, walking faster and faster like a trapped animal. You could see the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, as well as the subtlest prayers.

Praying that Yan Donghuang would suddenly die from poison.

Emperor Zhaoming felt resentful in his heart.

He secretly swore that when Yan Donghuang died, he would execute all seven generals of the Qingluan Army.

He was taken to the execution ground on charges of treason.

They stripped off all their clothes and let the executioner cut off their flesh piece by piece.

Let them experience the torture of losing their dignity, crushing their pride, and being chopped alive by Ling Chi.

He wanted everyone in the world to know how tragically they died, so that no one would dare to rebel again.

Emperor Zhaoming imagined such a scene, and felt a morbid joy in his heart. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity in his heart: "Go and find out more information."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone hurriedly came from outside and said in an urgent tone: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat.

It's finally here.

"Is the eldest princess threatening me with the queen mother?" Before the visitor could kneel down, he asked hurriedly, "What request did she make?"

"Go back to the emperor..."

"Go and tell her that I will not agree to anything. If she dares to touch the Queen Mother, she will become a sinner in the world! I will expose her crimes to the world -"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, not the eldest princess..." The guard interrupted him tremblingly, "It's... it's the Queen Mother."

Emperor Zhaoming's voice paused: "Mother, Queen Mother?"

"Yes." The guard nodded uneasily, "The Empress Dowager ordered the chief steward of Ci'an Palace to convey her instructions and transferred the deputy commander who was on duty at Donghua Gate today."

Emperor Zhaoming's expression changed, and he grabbed his collar angrily: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"The Queen...The Queen Mother sent an edict saying...Tell me, the eldest princess captured the family members of Commander Chu and Commander Chang, and ordered them to go home quickly to save people..." The guard knelt on the ground, terrified because of Long Yan's anger. , "Commander Chang...Commander Chang and Commander Chu listened...and were very anxious after hearing it. Eunuch Yang personally delivered the order, so he led his people...and hurried to save the people."

Emperor Zhaoming's vision went dark, and he was so angry that he almost fell over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful." Li De'an quickly supported him and turned to ask, "Is there anyone at Donghua Gate now?"

"When Deputy Commander Chu left, he ordered someone to call Deputy Commander Wang to patrol the tower, but...but when he came to report the time, Deputy Commander Wang was not on duty yet..."

Emperor Zhaoming's face became stiff and his whole body felt cold.

He suddenly understood Yan Donghuang's plan. She was really thoughtful and well-planned.

"Come here!" Emperor Zhaoming roared, shouting angrily at Li De'an impatiently, "Pass on my decree to mobilize all the imperial guards, whether they are on duty or not, to guard Donghua Gate, archers! We must Don’t let anyone break into the palace!”

But it was too late.

After Chu Ying and Chang Wangzhi left in a hurry, Donghua Gate and Fengtian Gate were relatively empty. Qin Yang and Feng Yaoguang led their troops to break into the palace from the two gates respectively, using shields to protect themselves and intercept the flying arrows.

Within a moment, the palace gate was forcibly breached by soldiers and horses swarming in.

The elite soldiers with agile skills quickly climbed up the tower, like ghosts at night, and killed all the remaining soldiers on the tower in a blink of an eye.

Donghuamen was replaced by the Tianji Army.

Fengtianmen was replaced by the Yaoguang Army.

In panic, Emperor Zhaoming hurriedly ordered Ying Rong to mobilize all his troops and guard them outside the Gate of Taihe. No matter what method was used, they must block the Qingluan Army who was forcing the palace.

Just hold on for three more days, no, four days at most.

Yan Donghuang will be poisoned and die.

"How's the situation outside?"

Li De'an said with a pale face: "Commander Ying has transferred all the people here, but... but..."

"There are not so many buts!" Emperor Zhaoming roared, veins popping up on his face, "We must hold on!"

"yes."
