Chapter 364 Surrounding the Palace
After Qi Yunhao left, Liuli didn't feel sleepy at all.

His worry was right, the crown prince was confinement for three months, this time he won't be able to steal the chicken, and he will definitely find a way to fight back. Isn't the little Dulu's three-dynasty banquet just the right opportunity to make a move?It's not that King Dingbei and Qi Yunhao were unprepared, but they were really unprepared that he would make such a move secretly.If he hadn't come here in person today, and hadn't intentionally provoked trouble, it wouldn't be so easy for him to think about this trick.But he did this anyway, and everyone's attention was focused on preventing him from hurting Little Dulu, so naturally they didn't notice that he would tamper with the gift list.

The tree attracts the wind, and the achievements made by the Dingbei Palace are the most important. At this time, both Qi's father and son fell to Lu Zhao. Although Lu Zhao did not openly raise the flag to rebel, this is already something that everyone knows. In the Holy Majesty While sick on the couch, the prince and the queen are very likely to conspire to usurp the government, and label the Northern Palace as a rebel!
If this is really the case, then the prince will definitely take action soon!
"Yuegui, go and invite the third master over here."

Liuli got out of bed, and ordered immediately.

Seeing her solemn face, Yue Gui hurried out of the house just now, guessing what happened, so she immediately invited Qi Yunke over.

Liuli met him in the small flower hall, and when she saw him coming in, she asked, "Have you seen all the things the crown prince gave you?"

Qi Yunke nodded: "My lord and I both know. Just now I also heard that the eldest brother has sent all the things to Prince Qing's mansion, which is good. As long as this thing is not in the mansion, the prince will have nothing to do with us."

Liuli nodded: "But I'm afraid that something will happen to him on the way, if he is blocked by the prince's people—"

"Grandma! Grandma!"

Ye Tong broke in suddenly: "Grandma! The prince's people broke into the mansion!"

"what?!"

I'm really afraid of something!Liuli stood up abruptly, "Where are you going?!"

"I have already entered the main gate of the palace! I have brought thousands of troops, and they have surrounded the palace!" Ye Tong said out of breath, pointing outside.

"Sure enough it's here!" Liuli suddenly felt her energy and blood rushing up, her eyes became dizzy, she grabbed the edge of the table and barely stood still.Qi Yunke hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, I will take someone out to have a look!" Then he asked the boy to go back to the room to get the knife, and walked out quickly.

Yuegui Haitang was afraid that Liuli would fall ill, so she couldn't help but help her back to the room.But Liuli picked up the little Dulu who was still sleeping soundly, and handed it to Nanny Huang: "You should take him with you and call the wet nurse over too. Yuegui sent a message to Fan Yun and Liu Wei, except for the prince and the third master, who else in the yard No one is allowed to enter! Anyone who violates the order will be killed one by one! Then send a message to Li Xing and ask him to be responsible for the safety of the prince! Ye Tong is guarding here, if the prince's people break in by force, come and tell me immediately!"

After hearing this, Yuegui handed her over to Nanny Yu, and hurried out to deliver the message.Liuli made up his mind, went to the wall and took off Qi Yunhao's saber, and went back to the bed to sit down tightly.

Since the crown prince dared to surround the palace, he must have come here for today's matter. If he wanted to get evidence, why wouldn't he enter the Chaoqing hall?Today, if he dared to come in and search her house and hurt her child, she would never return him!
After Yuegui finished delivering the message and came back, there were noisy footsteps under the second door, Haitang opened the window to hear it, then turned her head after a while and said: "It's the soldiers from the mansion, it seems that both the prince and the second master have come out." All the women in the room had never seen this battle, and they were all panicked.Liuli said in a deep voice: "What are we afraid of? Who are we? Who is the prince? Thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield have never been afraid, would they be afraid of a crown prince? Don't say that there are only a few thousand people here today. Even tens of thousands of princes and generals will still take him down!"

After hearing her sonorous words, everyone seemed to gain strength, and suddenly became more relaxed. Just when Little Dulu woke up, the nuns and wet nurses started to wait on him again.

Liuli and Haitang said: "Go and get something to eat." She overslept and didn't even eat dinner, she only drank half a bowl of soup just now, thinking about it now, she couldn't help but feel hungry.The more she had to eat at this time, otherwise, where would she have the strength to protect herself and little Dulu?

Haitang quickly brought the confinement meal specially prepared for her by Xie Er's family, and Liuli ate it after taking it. Haitang saw that her appetite was good, and her mood was mobilized, so she refilled the meal for her, and said: " Just now when the meal was served, Ji Jiaoer went to the door to inquire about the news. The prince led people into the palace, but the prince and the third master blocked him outside the second door. According to the prince, there are thousands of soldiers from the Guangfu in our mansion. The crown prince can be taken down without any casualties at all! Right now, the delay is just waiting for someone to deliver a letter to Prince Qing’s mansion, and then wait for the general to return to the mansion.”

Liu Li said: "Who went to Prince Qing's Mansion?"

"It's the confidant of the lord." Haitang said: "The prince's people have surrounded the gates of the mansions, not letting any of us go out. The lord originally asked the second master to go in person, but the second master was blocked when he reached the door. I came back. The prince just scolded the second master for being a coward, and then sent other people around him. Finally, he climbed a tree and climbed over the wall to get out."

After finishing the last piece of snack, Liuli paced back and forth in the room, listening to the movement outside the window.The noisy noise outside the wall became louder, the light from the torches lit half of the sky red, and the sound of armor and blades colliding could be heard from time to time, the footsteps of the patrolling guards outside the window were heavy and swift, and sometimes there were women's screams came.

All this is a sign of the uneasiness and crisis tonight.Liuli suddenly remembered the Dou Mansion that was destroyed 30 years ago. Perhaps it was when the Zhongyonghou led his troops to break into the Dou Mansion, and the people in the Dou Mansion also had endless worries and anxiety like the mansion now—no, that kind of The worry and sorrow should be even worse, at least the current Dingbei Palace is capable of confronting the prince compared to them who are unarmed.

It's not that Liuli is not worried, it's not that she is not worried, but what she is worried about is not herself, but Xiaodulu and Qi Yunhao. This is one of the two most important people in her life. If Qi Yunhao exists to protect Their mother and son, her existence is to find a way to protect Little Dulu without him.

"How many guards are there in the mansion now?" She turned around and asked Yue Gui.

Yue Gui said: "The general took two out, now including Li Xing, there are eleven."

"Call Li Xing in." She waved her hand.

Li Xingfei came in quickly.Liuli asked him: "Now the outside is completely surrounded, are you sure to break out?" Li Xing thought for a while, "We have a fence, so we can climb over the wall. I just don't know what orders grandma has?" Liuli took two steps , Said: "The general only took two people out, I am afraid that people will embarrass him on the way, so I have to let people go and have a look. By the way, let someone go to the gate of the palace to beat the Dengwen drum, and enter the palace to sue the imperial court!"

To break the siege tonight, of course you can fight the prince, but the prince dares to come so blatantly, the majesty in the palace must not know.I don't know that there are two situations, one is being imprisoned by the prince, and the other is that everything is normal, but the prince came to surround the palace without telling the prince.If it is the first one, then the matter will explode. If the Holy Majesty does not announce it after beating the Dengwen Drum, then it must be the prince's wrongdoing. No matter what, Qing Palace and Dingbei Palace have to make a decisive decision Come.

If it is the second type, after the sound of Dengwen's drum, the Holy Majesty will definitely announce it, and then he can use the power of the Holy Majesty to take down the prince. From then on, there will be another stain on his moral conduct book, Yu Shi The officials will definitely frighten him to death, and the confidence of the elders in the cabinet will be shaken based on the previous foundation. Relatively speaking, the palace has not used weapons against the prince, but this clearly shows that the whole family of Qi In awe of the royals.

Therefore, this drum must be beaten, and after the beating, he will have a clear idea of ​​what to do in the Dingbei Palace, and then decide on the next step.Liuli can be sure that if the Holy Majesty did not announce it after the drum sounded, then the decisive battle between Lu Zhao and the crown prince will start tonight!
"The younger ones can go out in three people, one goes to the palace gate to sue the imperial court, and the other two go to find the general." Li Xing pondered for a moment and understood Liuli's meaning.Immediately said firmly to her.

Liuli nodded, and immediately dragged the pen and paper to the side, wrote a letter about the Prince's siege of the Dingbei Palace, dried the ink, rolled it into a bamboo tube and handed it to him: "Give this letter to the person who is going to beat the drum, in case The Holy Majesty summoned me, just submit this. If you don’t announce it, then let him come back to see me immediately!”

Li Xing nodded in agreement, turned around and went out the door.

Liuli turned around and went back to the cradle, looking at Little Dulu who was sleeping soundly on the bed.Now he finished feeding and fell asleep again, his chubby face really looked like a meatball.Liuli gently picked him up, held him close to her cheek for a while, then gently put him back on the bed.

If the current situation is really the first, then the entire capital will not be peaceful tonight.Although Dingbei Prince's Mansion is in charge of the military power, the soldiers and horses are all stationed in the big camp on the outskirts of Beijing. No one takes the Tiger Talisman to dispatch the troops.And if the crown prince wants to usurp the throne, the first things to do are of course Prince Qing's Mansion and Prince Dingbei's Mansion. The disaster 30 years ago may happen again to Prince Dingbei's Mansion, and her little Dulu was only born four days ago Facing such a catastrophe, and possibly being separated from her, how could she not mourn at this moment?

Aunt Huang and Aunt Yu accompanied her by the cradle. Seeing her red eyes, she couldn't help feeling sad.They are all nuns with a history, and they have seen a lot of the rise and fall of the nobles in Beijing. After listening to Liuli's orders, even if they can't figure out the details, how can they not see the danger they are about to face?

"If we knew this earlier, it would be better to take grandma to the south to give birth and then return to Beijing! After all, there are all Madam's people there, no one is more dedicated than us, and no one knows about that place! "Yu Nanny was excited for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out.
