Qiu Hua immediately called Xiaoli and the others to start packing things.

It is said to be a refuge, but we must also prepare for the worst. All the treasures in the palace can be taken away, but there is only one day left for them to organize.

"Your Highness, do you think the fight will start?" Lili asked.

"I don't know." Chen Zui thought to himself while looking at the things they packed.

He was wondering whether he wanted to bring something valuable so that if he ran away in the future, he might be able to use it.

"I heard that the Second Highness's army will be able to dock this evening. Marshal Yu hurried to the front line with his injured body, and cannons were set up in the coastal areas."

"Isn't the Second Prince in Ziwei Palace? Why did his army come up?"

"Where? I've already run away. I heard that when Marshal Yu woke up, the Second Highness secretly left the city. Otherwise, how dare he fight?"

"Where is the Empress Dowager, too?"

"The Empress Dowager is sick, so she will naturally stay with His Highness the Prince. She has not left. With His Highness the Prince protecting her, even if he stays in the capital, Yu Huaiyong can't do anything to her. No matter what, she is the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty will protect her."

"I don't know who will win. I don't want to fight. If it fights, I don't know how many people will die. Do you still remember the Jerusalem Artichoke War? I heard from my elders in my family that many people died."

"Don't discuss the matter of shadowlessness." Qiuhua said behind him, "Closing things quickly, it's a bit fragile, you must be careful to pack it."

The voices of the palace maids became lower.

It is impossible to let them not discuss such a big thing at all. People are very restless and everyone is panicked.

Qiuhua put down his food and said to Chen Zui: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. There are mountains outside the palace in the west of the capital, and it is famous refuge places, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. When wars broke out in the past, the royal family went there to take shelter, which was very safe."

Chen Zui said: "I'm fine, I'm not very nervous. Have you contacted Yu Cheng?"

Qiu Hua shook his head: "I heard that he has been with Yu Xiang on the front line, so Yu Xiang definitely doesn't want to fight. Maybe he has gone to make peace."

Chen Zui didn't say anything after hearing this.

It is highly likely that they can't get along with each other. These two people are impulsive madmen, let alone the arrow is on the string, and there is no reason to take it back.

"We must also be famous in war. What are the banners they each use?"

Qiuhua said: "The Second Highness naturally said that he wanted to clear the monarch. He said that the royal family had been undermined by Yu Huaiyong. The Hongmei Hotel exploded, and Yu Huaiyong wanted to kill him. Therefore, whether for him or for the royal family, he would eliminate Yu Huaiyong, a treacherous slander."

Chen Zui sneered and said, "It seems that the Second Highness can't wait. He is afraid that once His Majesty passes away, he will pass the throne to the Fourth Highness. Yu Huaiyong will become more powerful and he will be more famous. He will also be suspected of usurping the throne, so he wants to take action first, right?"

Qiu Hua said: "As for Yu Huaiyong, he said that the second highman created a tragedy in the prayer activities, in order to usurp the throne. This is well known for your Majesty's intention to pass the throne to the fourth highman. There is also the case of His Majesty's poisoning, which he exaggerated, saying that it was done by His Majesty's people."

The reasons for both of them are equal and both stand firm.

It depends on who the emperor and Yu Rong faction support. Whoever they support will occupy a more favorable position in public opinion.

They were busy packing things, and Chen Zui was busy inquiring about the news and watching the radio. But for some reason, none of the major radio stations reported on this matter.

This fact is strange. I don’t know who gave the order, but no regular radio station dares to report this major event.

Just in the evening of that day, several major radio stations delivered a speech at the same time.

Emperor Zhao Jin's speech.

Zhao Jin's voice was still weak, he spoke slowly, but firmly.

Chen Zui was so thrilling that he would miss a word. He turned the voice to the maximum, and Qiu Hua and the palace maids all held their breath and focused.

"As the emperor, I have not made any achievements in my life, and I feel deeply ashamed, but I have always been committed to safeguarding national stability and people's health. I have limited ability, which eventually leads to the danger of tigers and wolves...

Just as he heard the key point, he saw Yu Cheng.

Chen Zui was stunned for a moment, walked over immediately, and Yu Cheng whispered: "I have something to tell you."

Chen Zui followed him to the next room. The emperor's speech was recorded. I guess Yu Cheng already knew the final result, so he asked directly: "Who does Your Majesty support?"

"Yu Huaiyong." Yu Cheng said.

Chen Zui was stunned for a moment, and felt that all this was reasonable.

Zhao Zhun is the attacking party, and Yu Huaiyong is at least in the confrontation position, and is the one who guards Meihuazhou. In other words, the entire royal family is surrounded by him. Moreover, if Zhao Zhun wins, he will inevitably force the palace to rise to the throne. If Yu Huaiyong wins, he will be promoted to the ranks of one more quarter at most, but it will not threaten the emperor's life.

"I can't persuade you to make peace with this situation?"

Yu Cheng said: "The war will start tomorrow at the latest."

Chen Zui thought to himself and his heart was thumping: "What can I do?"

"Tonight, you will go to the west palace of Beijing with the large army, and this is for you." Yu Cheng gave him a gun.

Chen Zui took it and looked up at Yu Cheng. Yu Cheng said, "It may not be necessary to keep yourself safe. If you really have to do so, remember one thing, you can say, life is the most important thing."

Chen Zui was just nervous, but after hearing what he said, he felt a little sad about separation from life and death.

"And you?"

"I'm ready to join the war," said Yu Cheng.

Chen Zui didn't know what to say.

"Then you must be careful. You are right, and living is the most important thing."

Yu Cheng said: "Remember, it is best to be unknown in the palace. No matter who comes to you, you should try not to speak or express any opinions. Just take good care of the emperor."

Chen Zui nodded. Yu Cheng said, "I took the time to come and I have to leave."

Yu Cheng's face was a little haggard, but his expression was firm. Chen Zui didn't know what to say, but just said, "You must pay attention to safety."

Yu Cheng nodded and turned around to go out. Chen Zui said, "I'm waiting for you in the palace."

Yu Cheng didn't say anything and had already walked out.

At this time, you shouldn’t say goodbye to me, at least you should have a hug.

Chen Zui touched the gun in his hand and sat on the chair.

Qiuhua came in and said, "Your Majesty has supported Yu Huaiyong. Now the people along the coast are evacuating inland."

Chen Zui said "yes" and put the gun into his pocket.

"What did Yu Cheng tell you?" Qiu Hua asked.

"He is going to the front line." Chen Zui said: "I didn't say anything else, just tell me a few words."

Qiu Hua was also in a heavy mood and comforted him, "It's okay. Although he participated in the war, he was a nobleman after all, and he was the son of Yu Xiang. It was not his turn to take the lead."

"We also have to make some preparations. If Yu Huaiyong wins, it is the best. If he loses, the palace may not be safe. What about the princess?"

"The princess is there in His Majesty."

Chen Zui went to the Baihua Palace, but ended up seeing Zhao Run and others halfway.

Zhao Run brought Empress Dowager Yao, Lin Yunying and others into the palace.

They were going to set out together in the evening to the west palace of Beijing.

Empress Dowager Yao seemed to be very sick and didn't even get out of the car. Chen Zui took Qiu Hua and others over and saluted her first. The empress dowager didn't make any noise. Instead, Lin Yunying, who was taking care of her, got out of the car and said, "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill and can't speak anymore."

"Have you looked for a doctor?"

"I've seen it and said I want to rest. We also brought several doctors to accompany me." Lin Yunying said.

"The princess is pregnant, she must also be careful of her body." Chen Zui said,

"Thank you for your concern."

Zhao Run came out of the Baihua Palace, and Chen Zui went up to meet him.

"Your Highness, I have something to ask you," said Zhao Run.

Chen Zui nodded, and the two walked aside. Zhao Run said, "Your Majesty is in poor health. You have to go to the west of Beijing with everyone. However, everyone in the royal family cannot go. Someone must stay to defend the morale of the army. It is the most suitable for me to stay. Please help me take care of my mother and the princess."

Whoever leaves and stays is definitely not Zhao Run alone's idea, it should be the result of Yu Rong and the others' discussion. Chen Zui didn't argue much and nodded and said, "Don't worry, if I'm in one moment, I will definitely protect them."

"My wife's brother Lin Zongmao will also follow you to evacuate. If you have any questions, you can discuss with him. He is a trustworthy person."

Zhao Run said this and called Lin Zong to come over and greet him.

Lin Zongmao looked different from Lin Yunying, and looked particularly serious and saluted him.

He heard Yu Cheng talk about Lin Zongmao. They served together in the army. Yu Cheng said that he had accurate marksmanship and had skill in his body, which was no less than him.

"The safety of our waiting period will be entrusted to Lieutenant Lin."

Lin Zongmao said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Yu Cheng explained to me not long ago that I will protect Your Highness's safety."

When Chen Zui heard him mention Yu Cheng, his heart became heavy and a little anxious.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered in the square in front of the hall, all of whom were fully armed, holding long guns in their hands, and just looking at the momentum made people nervous. Zhou Lang was on the list of flowers, "arriving" one by one, loud and clear, and Xiao Su.

Before the final retreat, Chen Zui climbed the city tower and looked towards the sea.

There are many ordinary people on the long street, with big and small carriages pulling things and retreating to the southwest. They can't see at first sight because they are far away and there is no sound. The sky is gloomy and it seems to be snowing again. The world is terrifyingly quiet, with only the whistling sound of wind blowing his hair away.

Qiuhua helped him put on a cloak: "Your Highness, it's time to set off."

Chen Zui wrapped her cloak and nodded: "Let's go."

Dozens of cars slowly drove out of the imperial court, with military vehicles leading the way, with royal vehicles in the middle and military motorcycles behind. Most of the palace servants were riding in large military trucks and many infantrymen, thousands of people heading to the west palace in the west. Chen Zui sat in a car, holding the little princess, and saw Zhao Run wearing a hundred clothes, thin and weak, standing on the city tower.

Snowflakes fell down. When they walked to Chang Street, the retreating people were forced to give way and all avoided the sides of Chang Street. Chen Zui saw a family of four, with their parents carrying large and small bags, and the two children hugged their parents' legs tightly, their faces flushed and trembling.
