Chapter 290 No One Can Kill
The night is bright and bright, and there is no peace.

All the twelve Jingzhao guards were mobilized, and the Tiancheng Battalion stationed outside the city also dispatched [-] soldiers and horses into the city, knocking on doors and searching the streets and houses.

Many people didn't know what happened and were frightened by the battle. Officials sent people to ask each other overnight, while ordinary people hid in their homes, not daring to probe or open windows.

The soldiers searched one street after another, and the flames flowed into the distance, leaving the sound of the wind whimpering across the dark and wide long street.

One hour, two hours, until the dawn of the sky, nothing can be gained.

The generals of the twelve guards who hadn't slept all night, except Li Dongyan, were all waiting outside Dongming Palace early.

Zhao Tang was also there, not long after he arrived, and came to replace Zhao Barnyard.He was reluctant to come because his arm was still heavily bandaged.

The cold wind was howling and fierce, and the generals were exhausted and stood quietly. After half an hour passed, the servants of Dongming Palace came out to make an announcement.

When the generals stepped up the steps, a servant at the west palace gate frowned, turned around and ran back.

There are a group of young girls standing beside Taiyin Lake.

The leading girl has a radiant face, wearing a yellow and white brocade robe embroidered with butterflies, and her waist is adorned with a top-grade imperial green jadeite pendant from the Northern Geya.

The four maids closest to her each held a golden animal stove, in which smokeless silver charcoal was burning, and the heat radiated out, roasting the girl and preventing her from catching cold.

The servant came running quickly from a distance, and the maid at the side saw it, and hurriedly said: "Princess, look, here we come."

The girl looked up, and seeing the servant's expression, she felt displeased for a while.

Sure enough, the servant approached and bowed his back and said: "Princess, you can't do it, it's still not suitable to see Your Majesty today."

"I heard that the generals of the Twelve Guards of Jingzhao entered the palace this morning?" Princess An Cheng said.

"Yes, there was a big incident outside the palace last night. A girl kidnapped an imperial official in the street. The twelve guards searched all night, but they haven't caught anyone yet. I'm afraid His Majesty's Long Yan is not happy again today. If the princess Going to look for His Majesty, I'm afraid it's not going to please you." The servant replied.

"Damn it," Princess An Cheng frowned and said angrily, "It's a girl again, maybe it's the same Ali who made a big fuss in Yanyunwei Mansion before."

As soon as the words fell, the maid beside her suddenly whispered: "Princess."

Princess Ancheng paused, then turned her eyes to the right.

Across dozens of osmanthus trees that had lost their fragrance, the luxuriously dressed Princess Yangping walked around the avenue behind the stone platform, holding Concubine Mu's arm, stopped at the intersection, and turned her eyes to look at her.

"She's here too, Concubine Mu." Princess Yangping said in a very soft voice.

Concubine Mu Gui bent her lips and smiled at Princess Ancheng.

Princess Ancheng rolled her eyes, turned around and walked back, and said coldly, "Let's go."

The maids and servants behind her bowed their heads to Princess Yangping and Concubine Mu Gui, then turned to follow.

Princess Yangping looked back at them, and said after withdrawing her gaze, "Mother Concubine, she didn't go inside."

"It seems that the emperor is still in a bad mood today." Concubine Mu Gui looked at the front and said in a low voice, "It's been a long time, he is going to be in a bad mood forever."

"What can we do about this?" Princess Yangping worried, "Mother Concubine, I'm afraid."

As he said that, he tightened his fingers and gripped Concubine Mu's arm tightly.

Concubine Mu Gui covered the back of her hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, there is still a lot of time until the spring of next year."

"Because it's the beginning of spring, the preparations are about to start now." Princess Yangping's eyes turned red, "Mother and Concubine, I don't want to go to such a poor place with my relatives, I don't want to, and I don't want to leave you either."

"It's not yet decided who will go, why are you so anxious," Mu Guifei coaxed, "An Cheng is more suitable than you, don't be afraid."

"But people in the palace say that I look better than her." Princess Yangping cried. She used to be proud of her better appearance than An Cheng, but now she wishes she was an ugly girl.

Concubine Mu Gui frowned, stayed quiet for a while, and said in a low voice: "Go back first, it's really not possible, you go and beg your third and fourth brothers, let them go to His Majesty and talk about it, it's better than we find it uncomfortable by ourselves. For things like this, other people’s arguments are always better than ours.”

"I don't want to ask them," Princess Yangping felt even more aggrieved, "They want me to make a kiss, I know that when I really go to make a kiss, they can win in front of the emperor because they have a good relationship with me. Joe, I'm not an idiot if I make my father feel guilty towards them."

Seeing that she was crying more and more sad, Concubine Mu Gui hugged her distressedly, looked at the maid next to her, and winked.

Several court ladies stepped forward to help, and together persuaded Princess Yangping to leave.

·
It is rare for the generals of the twelve guards to gather in one hall like this, and now with the addition of Zhao Tang from the Tiancheng camp, everyone bowed their heads without saying a word.

The room was quiet, no one spoke, only Emperor Xuanyan was reading a book, and when the pages were turned, there would be a very soft origami sound, as if to say that the study was still alive.

It's almost time for morning court, Liao Nei stood up bravely and said, "Your Majesty, morning court is almost here."

Emperor Xuanyan nodded and said, "Wait a little longer."

"Yes, Your Majesty," waiter Liao Nei bowed his head, and said again, "but today's breakfast, Your Majesty has not yet used it."

"You are useless." Emperor Xuanyan raised his head and said.

The generals standing still didn't say anything, and finally Lin Shaojing from the Xiaohu Camp said, "Not yet."

"Then you don't eat it," Emperor Xuanyan smiled, and said lightly, "Anyway, it's all raised for nothing, and it's useless at all."

Everyone paused for a moment, then knelt down together: "I hope your Majesty will punish you for your ineffectiveness."

convict.

Emperor Xuanyan felt upset when he heard these two words.

If it was possible, he would really want to kill all of these useless wastes, but who would serve him?

Emperor Xuanyan's face darkened, he raised his hand to close the book, and said: "It seems that I haven't killed anyone for a long time."

Everyone frowned and felt a chill, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"A crime? Forget it, I don't like punishing people either," Emperor Xuanyan got up and said calmly, "I'm not a tyrant, you go back."

"The ministers are incompetent, and they deserve death." Several generals said.

Emperor Xuanyan twitched his lips amusedly, and walked outside.

Zhao Tang knelt at the end of the crowd, so he was a little better than the others, without such a heavy burden and feeling of depression.

However, still uncomfortable.

After Emperor Xuanyan left, the others stood up one after another, and Zhao Tang followed suit.

He took a deep breath and looked at the palace door with a solemn expression.

Although Emperor Xuanyan was moody, at a certain moment just now, Zhao Tang could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from Emperor Xuanyan.

I believe not only him, but also the generals present can feel it.

The emperor wanted to kill them.
