boudoir

Chapter 381
Seeing the crowd approaching, Lu Zhao, who was the leader, Qi Yunhao abandoned his long knife and fought over with a long spear in each hand. He couldn't help but wiped the blood on his face, and said with a smile, "Yun Hao! You don't need to worry about it, you go to Taizhou He Dian catch Lu Jin!"

Qi Yunhao said: "Lu Jin, the traitor, has been caught!" As he spoke, he picked up several Huangying guards with guns, and drove straight into the palace.The queen was escorted by the guards and retreated again and again. The army came in such a hurry that the archers had no time to prepare. The entire Qianqing Palace had completely reversed the situation in less than a moment.

When Qi Yunhao arrived in the hall, Du Rui had already arrived on horseback.Lu Zhao withdrew from the formation and said to Qi Yunhao, "Where is the antidote?" Qi Yunhao handed out the mandala: "Here it is!"

"Feed quickly!"

Lu Zhao summoned the imperial physician and handed him the medicine bottle.Concubine Luo quickly stepped forward to meet her, watched the imperial physician leave, then looked at Qi Yunhao, raised and lowered her hands, her face was full of excitement, like a girl without a city.

Lu Zhao hugged her tightly, and then let go: "It's okay, Father will wake up soon."

Concubine Luo became a little quieter now.

The imperial physician quickly turned the medicine into half a bowl of water and brought it to the side of the dragon couch.Concubine Luo stretched out her hand and said, "Give me a try!" Lu Zhao hurriedly stopped her: "This is the antidote, and it is also poison. You will be poisoned if you take it!" Concubine Luo was dubious, and Lu Zhao grabbed her hand tightly and pressed , sitting on the edge of the couch with a medicine bowl in hand.Concubine Luo hesitated and stepped forward to pinch the Holy Majesty's teeth, and when he opened his mouth, Lu Zhao slowly poured the medicine down.

"It will take about half an hour." Lu Zhao straightened up and said, looking at Concubine Luo who was using silk to print medicine stains on the corners of the saint's lips.

Concubine Luo Gui glanced at him, then bent down to caress the forehead of the Holy Majesty.

Lu Zhao turned around and asked Qi Yunhao and Du Rui, "Where is Lu Jin?"

Qi Yunhao said: "Now I have been detained by my people, and the princess and others have all captured them. We have already captured seven of the nine palace gates, and the remaining two will have results in less than half an hour. The queen retreated to the harem and took the concubines hostage. Now that Yun Ke has brought someone to rescue her, she can't last long. It's just—" He looked back outside the palace and said: "Just now Lu Jin has already rang the bell, At this moment, the civil and military officials are probably on their way to the palace, and I'm afraid you have to explain it later."

"That's natural!" Lu Zhao nodded, and stepped down Danchi with his sword, "As soon as the father wakes up, he will immediately announce the civil and military officials to wait outside the Qianqing Palace! The four elders—" He turned his head and faced Zheng The four ministers standing on the left said: "Lu Zhao's matter today is against the law of heaven, but there is a reason for it. I also ask the four elders to come forward and clarify."

"My lord, you don't need to say too much! At this moment, we all see it, and we will announce the truth to the world!" Hu Mei stood up first and said.

Lu Zhao returned a bow.The fighting outside the door had stopped, only the roar of war horses could still be heard in the distance.Jiang Che and his subordinates were counting the number of people, while Du Rui had been invited away by King Dingbei's people.Lu Zhao, Qi Yunhao and the four ministers gathered together for another meeting, and at this moment Luo Guifei suddenly said: "Sanlang! Sanlang!"

Seeing the movement of the hands of the Holy Master, Qi Yunhao rushed to the side of the couch, and Lu Zhao Du Rui followed him back. The Holy Master opened his eyes slightly and stared at them for a long time before reaching out to touch Qi Yunhao's face: "Hao'er ?” Turned to look at Lu Zhao again: “Zhao’er, is that you?”

"Yes! Father! It's us!" Lu Zhao was so excited that tears were about to come out.Qi Yunhao and the four ministers knelt down and kowtowed: "The ministers and others see the Holy One! Long live, long live, long live!"

The Holy Majesty turned his head, looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, sighed faintly, and said, "You are all here. How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been a month! Sanlang!" Concubine Luo cried, "The empress and the others have been monitoring you. They knew that we would send you the antidote tonight, so they sent troops to stop it with the crown prince. They were not stopped until just now!"

"Stop talking," the Holy Majesty waved his hand, "I know all about it. Although I am asleep, you can hear everything you say and do. Civil and military officials are coming soon, right? You open my pillow, there is an imperial edict inside, you Take it out and hand it over to the cabinet."

Concubine Luo was stunned after hearing this, then lightly supported his upper body, took out the pillow under his head, took another one and moved it in.

The pillow was opened, and there was indeed a rolled up edict inside. Concubine Luo unfolded it, and it turned out to be an edict to dethrone Lu Jin from the throne!
"Father! So you have already written it!" Lu Zhao's voice trembled.

"I wrote it a long time ago, but the prince noticed it, so I was controlled by them, so that this edict has not been given to you." The emperor said weakly, "Where is Hu Mei? You quickly draw up another edict, The deposed prince Lu Jin will be demoted to a common man, and will be assigned to Northern Xinjiang, and will never be recalled. In addition, after I die, I will order the queen to be buried with me!"

"Minister, obey the order!" Hu Mei bowed and retreated.

Qi Yunhao stepped forward and said: "The minister asks for another decree, please make Lu Zhao the crown prince!"

The Holy Majesty looked at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he was about to speak when he opened his mouth, when a gust of cold wind suddenly came in from outside the door, two cold arrows shot in like meteors, one was saved by Qi Yunhao in his hand, and the other One branch hit the holy upper throat!

"Sauro!"

"Father!"

The Holy Majesty's body softened, Concubine Luo Guifei fainted to the ground, Lu Zhao screamed: "Prince Physician! Physician!!"

When did Qi Yunhao swipe outside the door at the same time as the saint was hit by the arrow, and he pointed the arrow in his hand at the black shadow running into the distance, and the black shadow fell to the ground, got up and walked into the distance, praying Yun Hao breathed a sigh of relief and jumped up, then stabbed the man in the back with the spear in his hand, the man fell to the ground in response and did not move.

Jiang Che led others to follow: "Who is so bold?!"

Qi Yunhao turned the front of the corpse with the tip of his gun, took a photo of the torches from the soldiers behind him, and blurted out: "Qi Zhengyu?!"

The person who stabbed the Holy Majesty in the back was actually Qi Zhengyu who was on the verge of falling apart with the Queen!However, they couldn't allow them to think too much. At this time, the eunuchs screamed "The Holy Majesty is dead" from the main hall, which was also mixed with the heart-piercing cries of Concubine Luo Gui and Lu Zhao!Qi Yunhao hurriedly said to Jiang Che: "Drag his body away first, and I will go back to the palace first!"

In the sleeping hall, the Holy Majesty was already lying flat on the dragon bed. The four ministers of the cabinet and the eunuchs, maids and guards all knelt down on the ground and shouted long live. Looking at the arrow that was taken out, the whole person was shaking with anger.

Qi Yunhao walked over quickly, bent down and knelt beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The murderer is Qi Zhengyu!"

Lu Zhao turned his head, and the arrow in his hand broke suddenly.

Liuli didn't close her eyes all night, not just her, but everyone in the basement.The guards on duty outside came back in shifts to report the news, but none of the guards brought back could accurately inform the current situation in the palace.Until dawn, the five people sent out later also returned, and finally told the news that the palace gate had been broken, that the Qi family army had entered the palace city, and that the prince and others had been captured.

And at the fourth watch, the people who went to the palace to inquire also came back. The people who surrounded the palace did not do anything to the Mei family's mother and child from the beginning to the end, and they did not even use a single soldier. When it was passed on, they scattered and fled like bereaved dogs.

Liuli is [-]% sure that it was the Mei family who leaked the news this time, but don't be in a hurry for now, the one who is in a hurry is the palace.

At five o'clock, she faintly felt a little sleepy, but was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave. Ji Xiaoquan walked down quickly and said, "Grandma! The nine bells are ringing in the palace!"

Nine strikes is death knell!What does this mean, the Holy Majesty is dead?
Liuli got up suddenly, "Is there any other movement?"

"All civil and military officials have entered the palace at the fourth watch, and they are gathering outside the palace gate. As for the situation inside the palace, we will not know until people enter the palace!" Ji Xiaoquan said.

Liu Li hurriedly said to Ye Tong: "Since the palace gate is broken, you should take two people to the palace to inquire now! Be sure to find out the news of the prince, the general, and Lord Du!"

Ye Tong nodded, beckoning the two of them to go out.

Liuli sat down on the couch, but her heart was still uneasy for a long time. Why did the Holy Majesty die suddenly?What happened before he died?The prince was captured, what about the queen?

These questions were entangled in her mind, making her unable to concentrate even on what she was doing, but compared to before the city was broken, she was still much calmer.After all, as long as the crown prince is captured, Lu Zhao's ascension to the throne is basically a certainty. After experiencing this change, Qi Yunhao and the others finally succeeded!She can bring Xiao Dulu back soon, and no force can affect their happy together from now on!
Thinking of this, she felt better again, and ate the bird's nest that Yue Gui brought from the ground, and ate two more snacks.

After the city was broken, she could actually go out, but Qi Yunhao asked her to wait here. She was afraid that he would not find her when he came back, so she didn't go out right away.And now there is the sad news of the death of the Holy Majesty, no matter how it happened, it happened suddenly, and she didn't want to act rashly before she got the complete safety news.

Fortunately, everything is available here, and the shop opened normally at dawn. The servants only knew that the backyard was occupied by rich guests from Qiannan, but they didn't know who lived there. Even the meals were provided by Ji Da. The shopkeeper and Ruan Qing personally delivered it, so there was nothing unusual to peek at.

Ruan Qing is Yuegui's younger brother, and now he is learning to calculate accounts in the shop, but he is a shrewd person.These meals were delivered by him just now.

After Liuli finished her snacks, her stomach was full and she felt more at ease.

As he was pacing to digest his food, Ye Tong had already turned around.

"Grandma! The Holy Majesty passed away, and all civil and military officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The four cabinet ministers read out the call for abolishing the crown prince, and also read out the last decree of the Holy Majesty to order the empress to be buried with him. When they proposed to support King Qing as emperor in front of all the officials At that time, a group of civil servants raised objections, saying that the prince sent troops because of the situation, and he should not abolish the reserve because of this. The cabinet ministers, princes and generals reasoned with the civil officials, and they were about to force the use of troops!"
