Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 469
But half an hour.

The ancient beast on his head was like a docile kitten, obediently dormant in front of Lai Shangrong.

Lai Shangrong hugged Xue Baoqin, talked about himself for a while, put on a thin summer shirt, stood up and said: "I'm sorry for you, I have to stay alone in the empty boudoir tonight!"

Xue Baoqin raised his wandering eyes and said, "Third sister is still waiting. Master, please hurry over!"

Uncle Lai was so satisfied that he left the east wing and moved to the west wing.

The reason why he went to Xue Baoqin's house first had another consideration.

Compared with Xue Baoqin's shyness, Tanchun, as a person who has come before, is much more generous.

However, knowing that Lai Shangrong had just come from Xue Baoqin, and thinking of Uncle Lai's instructions before leaving, she also had her own persistence.

As he stepped forward to undress Lai Shangrong, he said, "Let me and the servant wash up for me!"

"Hmm!" Lai Shangrong pretended not to understand Tanchun's meaning, and put his hands on her shoulders that were cut like knives, slowly exerting force.

"It's hard for you to be so considerate, so I'll just do as you say!"

…………

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Squeak!"

Before dawn.

Outside Tonghua Gate, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and the city gate immediately opened wide.

"Close the four doors tightly! No one is allowed in or out without the Emperor's decree!"

"The Shenji Battalion is just outside the city. If they attack the city by force, how can the patrol battalion withstand it?"

"Don't worry! The Youwu Guards have also entered the city and surrounded the Jinyi Guards. The Jinwu Guards are restrained by the Zuowu Guards. The Teng Xiang Guards and the Left and Right Xiao Guards have already followed the Supreme Emperor's decree and surrounded the Shenji Camp. The situation in the city is unknown. Even if you give your enemy a hundred courages, you won’t dare to act rashly!”

While speaking, teams of uniform dragon guards quietly entered the city under the cover of night.

Go north along the city wall, reach the northeast corner, turn west, and reach Danfeng Gate.

In less than a cup of tea, the palace door slowly opened, and a group of dragon guards filed in.

Habayashi Wei, who fell to the ground with the sword in his hand, fell silent in an instant.

The Supreme Emperor, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown, sat on the imperial banquet and was slowly carried out of the Danfeng Gate.

The guards of the Yulin Army who were patrolling along the way were quickly disarmed. Under the protection of the Dragon Guards, the Supreme Emperor followed the team all the way to the Chengtian Gate.

At this time, the sky just turned white.

The guards on the palace city saw the dragon guards in armor and said in horror: "You...how did you get in? Do you dare to rebel..."

With just a 'whoosh' sound, the shouts and shouts on the city wall stopped abruptly.

The team quickly separated, and the Supreme Emperor stood on the imperial banquet and shouted: "If you don't bow to me when you see me, how can you shout and drink like this? Tell Chai Qingzhi to come out and answer!"

Seeing the Supreme Emperor on the throne and the Yulin Imperial Guard on the palace city, their momentum had weakened by three points.

After a period of chaos, Chai Qingzhi, the captain of the Yulin Guard, stood on the palace wall.

"The humble minister is here to see the Supreme Emperor. I wonder what the Supreme Emperor means?"

"Bold! Open the palace gate quickly and welcome the Supreme Emperor into the palace!"

The Supreme Emperor slightly raised his hand and said with a smile: "The emperor has not been in court for a long time, and I am worried that someone will kidnap the emperor. As long as you open the door quickly and let me take people in for inspection, I will definitely forget the past!"

"The Emperor also summoned Minister Mei yesterday, why did he hold him hostage? Please forgive me for not obeying my orders!" The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly: "Humph! It seems that you are the one who holds the Emperor hostage!"

A big hat was put off first, and then he said: "I don't want blood to flow into a river. If you don't listen to the advice, don't blame me!"

Then, he gave instructions to the generals beside him.

I saw that the Dragon Guards were not in a hurry to besiege the palace city. Instead, they separated into a team and rushed towards the Gate of Supreme Harmony where the ministers went to court.

No matter how strong the fortress is, once it is sneaked into the interior, it will be undefendable.

After taking control of the Taihe Gate, this team of dragon guards began to defeat them one by one.

And Chengtianmen's attack also started.

"puff!"

Emperor Zhenglong in the Yangxin Hall received the news and was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Hurry! Wang Han and Ma Chao, take my jade seal and quickly go to the Chuan Shenji Camp outside the city to enter the palace and rescue him!"

Although the organization of the Dragon Guard and the Habayashi Guard is the same, the staff of the Habayashi Guard is scattered, unlike the Dragon Guard who came prepared, and there are still personnel on rotation. The comparison of troops is already at a disadvantage, and time is running out. It was too late to write another imperial edict.

Knowing that the situation was urgent, the two guards took the jade seal and left the Yangxin Hall.

Climbing down the palace wall, he took advantage of the remaining gates of the imperial city that the Dragon Guards had not yet controlled, and slipped out.

I came to the Jinyiwei Yamen on the way and saw the soldiers wearing armor in front of the door. I didn't know that Jinyiwei had also been controlled by the Supreme Emperor.

The two of them did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately rushed to the nearest city gate. They found that the city gate was tightly closed and guarded by a patrol battalion. Even if they forced their way through the gate, they would not succeed.

He had no choice but to look elsewhere, and ran through three or four city gates in a row, but could not find any hope of leaving the city. He returned to the outside of the imperial city, hoping to seek help from the officials in the court, but he saw that the ministers who came to the court were banned one by one. Wei invited him into the imperial city.

I was exhausted and wandering around the city at a loss when I heard the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers not far away.

"Master Lai is really young and romantic. He seems to have married two wives and concubines in the past few days. The rumors are indeed not groundless!"

"I heard that there is also a wife and a concubine among them. They are young ladies from the old master Rongguo's mansion. This Rongguo mansion is also an honorable family, so why..."

"What do you know? Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, has such an illness, who would marry his daughter? Mrs. Lai is willing to accept her as a concubine. Maybe she is still thinking about old love!"

"No! If you ask me, Mr. Lai is really nostalgic. One of his two wives is a young lady from the aunt's family in Rongguo Mansion, and the other is his daughter."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This former master is now being suppressed. This slave has really done a good job..."

"Hush! Be careful not to be overheard!"

"What are you afraid of! Are there not enough rumors about Mr. Lai's love affair? I haven't heard of anyone being accused of making things difficult! I'm afraid you don't know. A while ago, there was a rumor that King Beijing had the princess..."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and immediately ran towards Lai's house.

If it were anyone else, they would not dare to go there rashly. After all, it was the Supreme Emperor who was upset.

But Lai Shangrong was different. He knew very well that what these passers-by said was true. Lai Shangrong was not only a close minister of the emperor, he even took Princess Beijing as his own. Although it was the emperor's instruction, it could not change this fact.

Will King Beijing still listen patiently to his explanation?

Once the Supreme Emperor returns to the throne, King Beijing will also rise to the top, and even regain his former glory. By then, will he, Lai Shangrong, still have a good life?

I'm afraid that destroying the family and destroying the clan is a trivial matter. Maybe you can't live but die.

Therefore, at this time, Lai Shangrong and the emperor were both prosperous.

They did not expect Lai Shangrong to be able to correct the chaos, as long as they could send some servants to create chaos at the city gate, giving them a chance to escape and report the news outside the city.
