Chapter 012 Changes
Wearing dragon robes, do you make it clear that you want to ascend the throne?
The temptation to dominate the world is indeed very great, but I don't know if the civil and military officials will buy it, or does she, Princess Shu, want to be the Cixi who listens to politics behind the curtain?
If you want to be Cixi, you must have Cixi's strategy and skills, but she may not have them. What can be delayed is just a moment.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment: "She is more knowledgeable about current affairs than your mother and brother, but I can't agree."
She laughed evilly, took off a hairpin from her bun, and slowly approached the Queen Mother.
"Sister, I can only send you away first."
The hairpin in her hand was pressed against the Queen Mother's neck. If she went any further, it would pierce the blood vessels. Han Rui immediately shouted: "High Princess, I am your father's favorite princess. It starts with me."
Concubine Shu looked back and smiled, "What's the rush? It will be your turn later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she tried hard on the hairpin in her hand, but an arrow flew out of nowhere and penetrated her neck. The hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
This change happened only in an instant. The child in the dragon robe on the high seat was so frightened that he immediately hugged himself, shaking uncontrollably, pitifully.
Han Rui looked around and found no one, but in front of her, Concubine Shu had died in the palace, with blood gushing out. The timid palace servants were scared and fled in all directions. The commander of the imperial guards, Chen Su, was stunned on the spot. Of course, he didn't
He expected that Concubine Shu would die violently, but to reach such an extent would be a serious crime against the nine clans. He simply stepped forward and protected Yan Chen behind him, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, I have sent people to search for the assassin."
Han Rui immediately stood up and held the young emperor in her arms, her eyes vigilantly searching for traces of the hidden guard. He should have shot the arrow.
Another arrow came from nowhere and went straight to Chen Su, who was in front of Yan Chen. It hit the center of the eyebrow, and the arrow feathers were still trembling slightly. Chen Su opened his eyes unwillingly, and his tall body suddenly fell to the ground, frightening Yan Chen.
He screamed and hid behind a pillar.
"Concubine Shu, together with the three princesses and Chen Su and others, conspired to usurp the throne. Her intentions are to be punished. Nian Er and others are all accomplices, so they immediately left the palace."
Han Rui heard a familiar voice, and the voice immediately matched the owner in her mind.
Ling Xin suddenly appeared in the main hall, dressed in silver-white armor. He was originally handsome and handsome, but now he was as handsome as a tree, and the long sword in his hand shone with a frightening cold light.
For no reason, Han Rui's heart suddenly calmed down, and she was not worried at all that he would take this opportunity to rebel. At this moment, she trusted him unconditionally. In modern terms, he was a patriotic person with strong roots.
, she could not do such extreme things as Concubine Shu, treason and usurpation, even if she killed his Bai Yueguang.
As soon as he appeared, and Chen Su, Princess Shu and others were dead, the imperial guards knew that the situation was over. Some people dropped their swords and knelt down to apologize.
He walked to the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor and knelt down, "I'm late to save you, please forgive me the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
The Queen Mother signaled him to stand up: "Marquis Jingguo has made great contributions to quelling the chaos, so why should he be blamed? The palace has just settled down at this time, so please invite Marquis Jingguo to sit in the palace."
"I will send someone immediately to invite hundreds of officials to come."
He whistled, and Chang Shan appeared immediately. He was injured. I'm afraid Lingxi was also injured when he broke into this deep palace.
Han Rui was thinking like this, and Ling Xin's eyes fell on her face, but they passed by without any emotion.
"Mother, I will accompany you to change clothes first."
The Queen Mother nodded and let her daughter hold her hand into the room. Although she had many doubts in her heart, Ling Xin's hand suddenly appeared here again. There must be something fishy about it, but now was not a good time to ask such questions.
"Is the queen mother injured?"
The Queen Mother shook her head: "If those dozen men in black hadn't delayed the process, I'm afraid the Queen Mother and your imperial brother would have died by now."
Han Rui immediately realized that it was the secret guard he had sent back to the palace in a hurry.
"As long as nothing happens to the Queen Mother and the Emperor's brother."
The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor simply freshened up and changed their clothes. Over there, Chang Shan had already invited the imperial physician on duty. The imperial physician was so frightened that he shivered all over as soon as he entered the Zhaoyang Palace. Of course he heard what happened tonight.
He was so frightened that he kept listening with open ears until Chang Shan knocked on the door and he didn't answer. Chang Shan broke in and took him out.
"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me."
The corpses that Zhaoyang Palace had not yet collected gave him an ominous premonition. He kept begging for mercy. When he entered the main hall, he saw the Queen Mother and the young emperor sitting upright. He immediately knelt down in a hurry and knelt down hard.
Three rings.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty..."
The drawn-out tone immediately made Han Rui feel uncomfortable. It was such an early morning mourning call.
"Mr. Liu, please check the pulse of the Queen Mother and the Emperor quickly. You are the only doctor on duty in the palace, so you are very busy."
The eldest princess ordered with a cold face. He did not dare to delay, and immediately and carefully stepped forward to check for the Queen Mother's pulse. After a while, his heart fell back to where he was: "The Queen Mother is in good health."
"Look at the Emperor."
The young emperor sat on the chair and kicked his legs. His eyes fell on Yan Chen, who had a head popping up behind the pillar. There were unknown emotions in his eyes.
Han Rui followed his gaze and saw a child wearing a dragon robe who was with Concubine Shu before.
Rouge also noticed, and with a look, someone from the Imperial Guard who had surrendered came forward and carried him in front of him like a chicken.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, this is the child that Concubine Shu secretly kept in the cold palace for ten years."
As soon as these words came out, Han Rui took a breath of air. This plot seemed familiar. Concubine Shu raised the child in the cold palace. When she raised her head, the queen mother was not surprised, so the queen mother knew it.
"Take it down first."
She waved her hands tiredly.
After Dr. Liu diagnosed the pulse of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Yanzhi took her to the back room to treat Qiu Chan's injuries. The palace was almost cleaned at this time. Two incense burners were lit in the room, and the eunuchs wiped the floor several times.
, the smell of blood gradually drifted away along the window.
At this time, all the civil and military officials had arrived at the palace gate. The Queen Mother held the young emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, go to court first."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
After saying that, he blinked at Han Rui, his big eyes very lively.
The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor walked forward, with Ling Xin following behind.
In the huge Zhaoyang Palace, apart from the palace attendants who had just been filled in, only Han Rui and Yanzhi were left. At this time, they relaxed and felt a headache. Yanzhi helped her to the side hall to rest, "Princess, you can stay here all night."
If you are busy running around, you should go and rest first. When the Queen Mother comes back, your servant will call you."
All the civil and military officials above the court saw Ling Xin with sleepy eyes. Some thought they were dazzled, and after rubbing their eyes vigorously, they discovered that the handsome young man in silver armor was the eldest princess's consort, Ling Xin, the Marquis of Jingguo.
Everyone immediately became very energetic.
The Queen Mother took the young emperor and sat on the dragon chair. She looked at the officials below and bowed before speaking with a smile.
