She sneered softly and made a gesture. There were more and more guards in the yard. It turned out that they were all hiding in the side hall.

There were at least five hundred people.

At first, Li Qingmo just fought back, but when he saw more and more guards, he suddenly felt murderous intention in his heart. He flew up, twirled his body in mid-air, swung out his long sword, and fell down wherever the sword edge swept. More than a dozen guards.

A sword seals the throat.

There wasn't even a chance to fight back.

After Li Qingmo landed, he held Nan Xi's hand again, always protecting her behind him.

This wave really had a deterrent effect.

The guards, who had been full of fighting spirit just now, now felt fear in their hearts.

The heroism and bloodlust of the Prince Regent, temporarily forgotten, were reawakened.

Some people couldn't help but retreat.

Compared to the constant sound of weapons clashing outside the palace gate, it seemed particularly quiet here.

Li Qingmo took advantage of this opportunity, grabbed Nan Xi's waist, tapped his toes, flew up, and jumped directly out of the gate of Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother stood up suddenly and ordered: "Chase! If they are allowed to walk out of the palace alive today, all of you, including your family members, will not have to live!"

After a pause, she said again: "Archers, prepare!"

Many archers appeared on the rooftops everywhere, pointing their bows in the direction of Nan Xi and Li Qingmo.

"Master!" Xia Rui kicked a guard in front of him away, jumped back, and came to Li Qingmo in a protective posture.

Shaoyao and Hanlian did the same and came to Nan Xi.

"Master, Master, are you okay?"

Li Qing said in a cold and calm voice: "Paeony, lotus root, protect Nan'er."

"Yes!"

Only then did Li Qingmo dare to let go of Nan Xi's hand and take a few steps forward. The sword in his hand was still bleeding, and his whole body was filled with condensed murderous aura.

"Anyone who stops me will die."

Guards, you look at me, I look at you, and finally grit your teeth.

"Prince Regent, we don't want to either, but the Queen Mother has issued a death order, and we still have family members to protect."

This is a cry for help.

They don't want to die in vain.

But I don’t want my family to be implicated afterwards.

Li Qingmo said in a deep voice: "If you don't kill those who surrender, I will protect your family from death."

Nan Xi also raised his voice and said: "If you still have worries and feel uneasy staying in Dongyue afterwards, you can come to Fenglin."

Someone's heart is moved.

"Does the regent really mean what he says?"

"This king never speaks lies."

Someone lowered their weapon.

With the first there is the second.

Soon, there was a continuous sound of weapons being dropped on the ground.

But even so, there were many corpses on the ground.

Blood dyed the cobblestone road red, making the atmosphere in the entire palace become cold and strange.

When Li Beimu and Wen Ying rushed back, this was what they saw.

When he saw that Li Qingmo and Nan Xi were still alive, his heart finally dropped.

He was breathing heavily and his chest was heaving violently. It was the first time since he inherited the throne that he felt so angry and useless.

"Who told you to attack the regent?"

"Are you going to rebel?" The guards were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it is the Queen Mother who has issued a death order. The ministers' families are being used as threats. The ministers dare not disobey."

Li Beimu swayed.

The queen mother is so confused!

He walked up to Li Qingmo with red eyes and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Uncle Emperor, I..."

The Queen Mother happened to see this scene when she came out of Ci'an Palace.

She angrily shouted: "You are the emperor! How can you kneel down to him!"

Li Beimu's face was covered with tears. He was too guilty to raise his head to look at Li Qingmo. All his anger roared out in an instant.

"But he is my imperial uncle. He raised me up and taught me how to behave and how to be a wise king! It was he who eliminated dissidents for me and frightened Chao Gang. He did everything a father should do! Why can't I give him Is he kneeling?"

The Queen Mother swayed, but luckily she was supported by the palace maid beside her.

"Your Majesty, you are confused. It is because of his presence that you cannot personally govern. As long as the couple dies, Fenglin will belong to Dongyue. Only in this way will you have the opportunity to be a truly wise king."

Li Beimu took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face, stood up, and looked at the Queen Mother with cold eyes without any warmth.

"Come here, the Queen Mother's phoenix body has violated the peace. From now on, she will be recuperating behind closed doors. Without my order, the gate of Ci'an Palace will not be opened from now on."

The Queen Mother was completely panicked this time.

"You, you want to put Aijia under house arrest?"

Li Beimu: "If you don't want to, then go to the imperial mausoleum. Since you like to plan for your ancestors so much, then go and accompany them."

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, the Queen Mother became so angry that she fainted.

Returning to Qinzheng Hall, Li Beimu knelt in front of Li Qingmo again.

"Uncle Emperor, my nephew made the decision privately and saved her life. If Uncle Emperor is angry, he can take it out on his nephew. If the surrogate mother suffered, I will be considered as repaying the favor of giving birth to her."

Li Qingmo was indeed angry, but it dissipated after making sure that Nan Xi was unharmed.

"stand up."

Li Beimu was stubborn and still knelt.

Li Qingmo just let him go. Anyway, he couldn't afford to kneel down.

"Uncle Emperor, I was careless. The Queen Mother sent someone to lie that you and the Emperor's Aunt were looking for me, so I really took Wen Ying out of the palace. Fortunately, Wen Ying sensed something was wrong and used Qinggong to bring me back, otherwise... "

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what would become of this palace.

He believed that the emperor's uncle could kill everyone.

But he couldn't blame the emperor's uncle.

Everything is the queen's fault.

Li Qingmo sighed, walked over and helped him up.

"You are too careless and underestimate the enemy. In fact, what happened today is not a bad thing. You personally beat those guards and comfort the families of those who died in the battle, so that the living people can be more loyal to you."

Li Beimu knew that Li Qingmo was teaching him and nodded: "I understand, uncle."

"Nan'er and I will set off back to Fenglin early tomorrow morning. You don't have to come to see us off. Besides, it's impossible for the Queen Mother to suddenly attack Nan'er and me. Moreover, this move to attack the east and west and divert the tiger away from the mountain is not what she could have thought of. You Send someone to investigate carefully and replace all the people in Ci'an Palace who should be replaced."

"Okay, uncle."

Li Beimu was a little reluctant to let him go. He pursed his lips and asked, "Uncle Emperor, when will you come back?"

Li Qingmo: "No big deal, I will stay in Fenglin from now on. Dongyue will rely on you from now on."

Before leaving, Li Qingmo left the tiger talisman for troop deployment to Li Beimu.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Beimu was holding the tiger talisman, but he still couldn't hold back his tears.

"Wen Ying, do you think the emperor's uncle is angry with me? I'm so angry that I almost failed to save him and the emperor's aunt?"

Wen Ying was still leaning against the door frame, looking at the empty and majestic palace outside the palace, and said: "I guess the regent has wanted to give you the tiger talisman for a long time, but he has never had the chance. Since he has decided to become the husband of Fenglin Emperor, and How is it possible that you still have Dongyue’s tiger talisman?”
