boudoir

Chapter 367 Take down the prince!

Liuli was sitting on the porch, drinking grapefruit tea, her expression as calm as ever.

"Grandma! Guo Zhi is back!"

Guo Zhi was one of the three guards she sent out. Hearing this, the composure on her face disappeared instantly, and her eyes flicked to see where people came and went.Sure enough, Guo Zhi was running towards this side, and when he saw Liuli, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm late, grandma, please forgive me!"

"Don't talk about these useless things, tell me quickly, how is the general?!" Liuli stood up, the cup in her hand didn't care to hand it to Yue Gui, and she let go of it and fell to the ground.Guo Zhidao: "The younger one went to the palace to beat the drums, and the other two brothers were responsible for finding the general. The younger one doesn't know the current situation of the general."

Liuli heard that there was still no news from Qi Yunhao, so she couldn't help but sat back on the chair.But now is not the time to be depressed, the news brought back by drumming is also very important, so he cheered up and asked: "How is the situation in the palace?"

Guo Zhidao: "The little one beat the Dengwen drum, and no one announced that the little one would come to the palace to meet him. The little one waited for an hour, so he returned to the mansion and came back."

"Is this true?"

Liuli stood up again, no one announced it for an hour, and with the prince's posture of surrounding the palace regardless of the consequences, something must have happened in the palace!

"Sister-in-law!"

While in a daze, Qi Yunke had brought several people in through the backyard door.Liuli hurriedly said: "How is the front?"

Qi Yunke smiled and said: "With my sister-in-law in such an ambush in the courtyard, the surrounding people have already been defeated. The prince just went out to see, and the prince has already escaped now, and is dispatching troops to fight the prince to the end. We Qi family are not cowards, his prince wants to subdue us with thousands of people, his dream is too beautiful!"

"Something may have happened in the palace." Liuli frowned, not as relaxed as he was at all, "I just sent someone to go to the gate of the palace to beat the Dengwen drum to file a complaint, but he waited there for an hour and the Holy Majesty didn't announce it."

Qi Yunke's smile gradually froze. The Dengwen drums set up by the imperial court in various places have a law that stipulates that every sound of the drums must be heard. The silence of drumming in front of the palace gate only shows that the Holy Majesty could not be heard at that time, but the Holy Majesty was sick. On the couch, I still deal with political affairs as usual every day. Under what circumstances will I not be able to declare?
How could he, as a court official, not be able to figure out something that even Liuli could figure out?
"Sister-in-law, did you mean that the crown prince might arrest the emperor before he came to the palace?" He asked.

Liuli was about to speak, when suddenly there was the sound of swords clashing outside the courtyard gate, among them was King Dingbei shouting calmly, and the prince angrily reprimanding him.She tilted her head and said to Qi Yunke: "Look and go." As she spoke, she stepped down the stone steps, from the middle of the yard to the door.

Outside the door, King Dingbei was wearing a golden armor, standing like a mighty god of war with his sword in his hand. Not far from him was the prince who was gnashing his teeth and directing the guards to rush in.People from both sides were fighting fiercely up and down the stairs. Many people fell to the ground, and there were already some casualties.With King Dingbei guarding the door, the people in Chaoqing Hall are useless now. Li Xing and the others stepped out of the threshold and stood beside King Dingbei, blocking the door so that even a fly could not fly in.

When Liuli walked to the door, Qi Yunke stepped out. Li Xing turned around and saw that Liuli had also come, so he quickly moved out of the way.

When the prince saw Liuli, the flames in his eyes suddenly rose, and he rushed towards this side immediately.When Li Xing and the others saw this, they immediately went forward to stop him, but the Huangying guards beside him were actually too many people, they rushed Li Xing and the others back as they came all the way.

"Grandma! Go into the courtyard!" Li Xing turned around and said anxiously.

Liuli stood still, squinting at the prince with a cold scoff, but clenched the sword in her hand tightly.

The crown prince arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and seeing King Dingbei standing proudly under the gate, he felt jealous, so he stopped three feet outside the gate and pointed at Liuli with his sword: "He Liuli! You vicious woman is so courageous, how dare you Burn a lot of the imperial court officers and soldiers! If this palace does not kill you here today, it will be in vain as the imperial heir!"

As he spoke, he stabbed Liu Li's chest with his sword.

Under the protection of so many elite guards including King Dingbei Qi Yunke and Li Xing, he didn't intend to hurt Liuli with this move, but he just wanted to take advantage of her to avoid the opportunity to attract King Dingbei to move away from the door. Just so that people can break into it again, so the force is not too great.Unexpectedly, Liuli would not dodge or evade, but stabbed the sword in his hand straight at his shoulder - King Dingbei and the others were so fast, they protected Liuli's vital points with Li Xing and others in an instant, and at the same time The prince has made an attack!The moment the prince withdrew his hand to fight back, Liuli's sword barely pierced into his shoulder!
"You dare to hurt me!"

The prince covered his shoulders and took a few steps back, staring at Liuli fiercely. The Huangying guards swarmed up and supported him, but he threw him to the ground, raised his sword and pointed at Liuli: "How dare you hurt me!".

The people on King Dingbei's side were also shocked by Liuli's actions. The prince is indeed hateful, but Liuli in front of him is clearly a weak girl who has just given birth and has not yet recovered her strength. Who would have thought that she would really dare to stab the prince ?

"Lu Jin, you bastard, you and your concubine have repeatedly harmed me. Today you came to my door. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will feel wronged if I am a ghost?" Liuli stood inside the door, staring coldly. The embarrassed prince spoke slowly and clearly. "So what if I hurt you? Even if I kill you, I will also benefit the people of my court! You massacred the monks of the White Horse Temple, hunted down Dou Chen and Yongwang's posthumous son, what can I do to your Lu family? You ambushed The murderer wants to put me to death! How can you sit on this throne? I am here to curse you today, even if you sit on this throne, you will definitely be a king of subjugation in the future! You must suffer from skin cramps! Those people outside the wall If it wasn't for following you to bully my Qi family and bully our weak mother and young child, they wouldn't be hurt! They helped the tyrant, and they deserved to be scalded and scalded to death! Even if you want to ask for a crime, it is also the sin of you, Lu Jin! Even if you die Will go to hell and be cooked in oil!"

Her every word echoed in the night sky, hitting the hearts of everyone present like an iron stone!Everyone was shocked by this questioning, the prince's people were terrified by such a compelling aura, and the people in the palace were too shocked to make a sound.

The prince clenched his teeth, put down the hand covering the wound, and said in a deep voice: "Bring all the people outside to this palace, and don't let anyone from the palace go! How many people she hurt me today, I will let the palace come in." How many people will pay in blood!"

The guard looked at the majestic King Dingbei for a moment, then retreated silently.

The prince looked at the group of people under the door, and waved his sword: "Kill me! Whoever kills this woman, I will make him the general of the country in the future!"

"you dare!"

At this time, a slow but cold sound suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

Everyone looked over at the same time, and saw Qi Yunhao standing there next to the Zhulan under the painting pillar holding his knife, his eyes were as cold as ice arrows and shot at the prince.And beside him are several generals in battle armor, the well-dressed Lu Zhao, the four elders of the cabinet full of righteous indignation, and several censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time. It was unbelievable, and behind them was a group of stern armored soldiers, and they were holding a person behind their hands. It seemed that they were dressed just now to follow the prince to trouble those guards and generals.

"Yun Hao!"

Liuli's eyes were sore, she raised her skirt and ran over.

Qi Yunhao opened his arms to hold her in his arms, let go of her half a moment later, walked up to the prince, stared at him for a while, and then moved his hand, another blood hole appeared on the prince's uninjured right shoulder.He shot so fast that no one even saw how he drew the knife, and the blade was already dripping blood back into the sheath.

"Pray for Yunhao!"

The prince fell to the ground with a miserable cry, and squeezed out three words between his teeth.Qi Yunhao stared at him, and when he moved the hand holding the knife again, there was another bloodstain on his face.

Lu Zhao ordered: "Come here! Take Lu Jin down quickly!"

Immediately behind the armored soldiers, two teams of yellow-tasseled guards appeared, striding forward to arrest the prince, dragging him aside.

"Lu Zhao! Do you want to murder me to usurp the throne?!" The prince shouted angrily.

The corner of Lu Zhao's mouth twitched, and he ignored him.Instead, he said to the four court elders and the censors: "No matter how much others say about the prince's moral character, it is hard to believe it. Now that you adults have seen it with your own eyes, you must know how to judge it."

"Qi's family, a family of three heroes, have made great contributions to the country and are deeply respected and loved by the courtiers and common people. His Royal Highness is so cruel to Zhongliang. Could it be that he wants to make all the courtiers in the world want to be loyal to the emperor?" Hu Mei, a scholar of Wuyingdian, bears the brunt Pointing at the prince angrily, the integrity of the official made him angry. "Does Your Majesty know what you have done today?!"

"My lord Hu probably doesn't know that the Holy Majesty has been drugged by the Crown Princess, and is now in a coma. The Crown Princess sits in the Qianqing Palace and does not allow anyone to enter! Fortunately, the general has a clever plan, and he has just notified Yu General Lin Jiang Che entered the palace to escort him! At this time, the crisis has been turned into safety."

Lu Zhao pointed to the prince and the four ministers and said: "Lu Jin has committed several crimes in his own body. Although he has not killed the king, he has committed the same crime as the king. Your lords know right from wrong, and you are loyal to my Lu family. Lu Jin This action makes me, who is also the son of the Holy Majesty, deeply saddened. If your lords think that my ordering the general to transfer troops today is against military law, as long as my emperor is safe, as long as my country is safe, I am willing to bear all the burdens alone. Punishment!"

As he spoke, he took off the crown and held it in his hand, staring straight ahead.

The four elders looked at each other and exchanged glances with the censors. Hu Mei came out and said: "The prince and the general have meritorious service, and they are in a hurry to obey the power. It is not against the law. I am willing to enter the palace immediately. See the Holy One, and tell the Holy Prince what the prince has done!"

"That's it, thank you, my lords." Lu Zhao made a deep bow, and then glanced at Liuli beside Qi Yunhao, "Since we are not guilty of mobilizing troops without authorization, the general's wife will hurt thousands of soldiers and the crown prince." The thing about it must also be forgiven."

Hu Mei glanced at Liuli, hesitating slightly.King Dingbei stood up and said: "Even if a commoner encounters a thief, he will act in self-defense. These people are not invited in by us. If you want to question the crime, you can ask him!" He pointed at Lu Jin, his voice was loud bell.
