Work overtime

The Queen Mother suddenly had hope in her heart when she heard Jiang Yuebai said that there was an antidote pill; but now that she said that she might still bleed to death after taking it, the hope in her heart was instantly shattered.

Previously, Jiang Yu and other three imperial doctors spoke very tactfully and did not insist on speaking to death. They also made every effort they could, such as stopping the bleeding and relieving pain.

The Queen Mother knew that she might not live long.

Although it was inevitable to be frightened, the Queen Mother was ready to die calmly while retaining her dignity.

She began to prepare for her funeral.

The Queen Mother calmly ordered Jiang Yuebai and the imperial doctors to go out, leaving the Sixth Prince to speak alone.

Jiang Yuebai was waiting on the corridor outside the palace.

At this time, the red clouds have all dissipated, and night has fallen, but because it has only been dark for a short time, there is still light.

The halo behind Jiang Yuebai was even more obvious in this night.

She looked up at the sky and sighed slightly.

As darkness falls, ghosts and monsters begin to come out.Some people are destined to go all the way to the end. Even if they are at the end of the road, they will still persist until the end.

Tonight may be an uneasy night.

Mao Yuliang was still standing five or six steps away, looking at her intently.

The eyes of the palace people and guards in every corner of the courtyard were unconsciously attracted by the halo behind her.

Even though she couldn't see clearly, her halo made her feel reassuring.

After Jiang Yuebai realized the role of his mascot, he walked slowly among the guards with his sword.

This is a very dangerous move. No one knows whether there are any accomplices of King Wei hidden among these guards.

Mao Yuliang unconsciously followed closer, always keeping alert with the knife in his hand, so that he could protect the empress at the first opportunity.

Jiang Yuebai slowly walked out of the palace gate and stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the dimly lit corridor in the darkness with a few small lamps, his eyes heavy.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and couldn't help but cover her chest.

The guards automatically separated a path to facilitate Jiang Yuebai's inspection.

Suddenly a man came galloping on horseback, heading straight for Jiang Yuebai from the trail.

The surrounding guards all pulled out their knives in an instant, making a neat swishing sound.

Taking a closer look, he saw that it was the man who followed him from Qianqing Palace that night and later taught him swordsmanship.

Different from that night, today he was wearing armor and a helmet on his head. He had a handsome face and a pair of eyes that were reserved and deep, making people dare not look at him easily.

The person who came was Zhu Shengye, the commander of the Forbidden Army Guards. At this time, he was making a routine inspection in the Forbidden City to check the situation everywhere.

Zhu Shengye rode his horse and circled twice in front of Jiang Yuebai, and raised his voice and asked, "I am Zhu Shengye, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Is this Empress Rui Jieyu on duty here?"

Jiang Yuebai's heart still hurt, but she put down her arm covering her chest and smiled lightly, "It's me. I've met Mr. Zhu."

He glanced to the right again, "But the one on duty is the team led by General Mao, the commander of the Jinwu Guards. I'm just going out for a walk."

The news that Jiang Jinxiu passed away and was posthumously named a concubine, and that Jiang Yuebai was named Jieyu by the Jin Dynasty, had spread throughout the harem through imperial edicts.

Zhu Shengye greeted politely, "Empress Rui Jieyu, my condolences."

Then he asked Mao Yuliang about the situation, and Mao Yuliang gave a truthful report.

Starting from the siege of Cining Palace, more than 300 or even 40.00 guards with swords participated in the rebellion at Cining Palace.This number accounts for [-]% of Fujunwei, which is an astonishingly large number.Hundreds of other garrisons such as the Yanshan Guard and Huben Guard detachments later joined.

When Mao Yuliang led the crowd to rush over, the Sixth Prince brought his troops into the palace to support Eunuch Liu and his Yulin Guards. They fought with a small number against a large number, but were wounded and outnumbered.With the support of Jinwu Guards, they were all eventually killed.

With these words, Zhu Shengye and Mao Yuliang did not avoid everyone, but talked about them calmly, which was equivalent to giving everyone a reassurance that their achievements and sacrifices made today have been known to their superiors.

Jiang Yuebai thought to himself that it seemed that the King of Wei focused on kidnapping the Queen Mother, which was quite similar to Li Shimin's distribution of troops when he launched the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion.

The King of Wei personally ended up trying to assassinate the emperor in Taorui Palace, but he was just walking on two legs: if the assassination was successful, he would be directly wearing a yellow robe. If the assassination was unsuccessful, he would successfully divert the tiger away from the mountain and divert the emperor to come to Cining Palace for rescue.

No wonder the King of Wei did not chase after the emperor after his left hand was cut off. Instead, he threw a handful of sulfur in an attempt to create an explosion. When he saw her chasing her, he did not continue the fight, but handed her over to Hai Lanzhu.The explosion failed and he escaped from the secret hole in the wall.

The King of Wei had calculated Li Beichen's filial piety, but the only thing he had not planned was that he would unexpectedly die so early.She never expected that the queen's mother, Mrs. Xie, would join forces with Jiang Yuebai and listen to Jiang Yuebai's instructions.

Jiang Yuebai wanted to thank Zhu Shengye for his guidance last time, but in full view of the public, in order to avoid trouble, he finally chose to remain silent.Just keep some gratitude in your heart.

While the two were talking, Jiang Yuebai stared blankly into the distant night, feeling sad in his heart.She has beliefs that she insists on, but the person she wants to protect the most has left her forever today.

Why is God so unfair?Would such a heartbreaking experience happen to Jinxiu?

Severe pain surged in her heart again, overwhelming waves, and a mouthful of scarlet-hot liquid spurted out and splashed out.

The cramping feeling in her heart caused her to arch her back and cover her chest, and vomited another mouthful of blood.

Pairs of concerned eyes suddenly gathered around him.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

She held the door frame, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, smiled and waved her hand.

In the evening breeze, her hair was tied up in a high bun, and her white clothes were blown close to her body, showing off her exquisite curves. Her black gold cloak was blown randomly, creating a floral scent.

Zhu Shengye clearly saw that this woman, who had always been strong and calm, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of sadness. This was the deep sadness that occurs when the closest bloodline passes away.

Recalling that she was holding the sword like this that night. At that time, she seemed to be not the emperor's woman, and she didn't care what the emperor was doing with other women inside. She was so leisurely and carefree.

A trace of distress flashed in Zhu Shengye's eyes.

He called Mao Yuliang to a place away from everyone, and in the name of official business, asked Jiang Yuebai in detail what happened in Taorui Palace and Cining Palace.

Mao Yuliang already had Jiang Yuebai in his heart at this time, so when Zhu Shengye asked him about related matters, he didn't know the other party's intentions, and felt a strong guard of the protector and an indescribable emotion.

To Zhu Shengye, Mao Yuliang avoided the important points and talked about Jiang Yuebai's highlight moments, not mentioning anything that shouldn't be mentioned.

Zhu Shengye has always been a listener, silent.He secretly admired her and was worried about her.

Tonight is probably going to be rough.Once a woman takes this step, she will take on many responsibilities that should not be hers.

The ninth-grade concubine when she entered the palace was now promoted to the fourth-grade concubine. What others could not do in 15 years, she did in fifteen days.

If you were an official, you would have to go through the back door through a relative of the emperor, which would never happen under normal circumstances.

It's as bright as the scorching sun, making people afraid to look directly at it.But nature is often jealous of talents, and such people often do not live long.

To achieve great wealth, one must have a life.

As for Zhu Shengye himself, although he came from a family of military generals and belonged to a wealthy family, he only managed to reach the position of commander of the Forbidden Army by fighting step by step with his father and brother in the family for their lives.

He felt a sense of sympathy for Jiang Yuebai.

Zhu Shengye couldn't bear to see such a man of humble origin, who worked hard to make progress and was so loyal, die because of his responsibility in the chaos.It would be the same if Jiang Yuebai was a man and a soldier under his command.

"Master Zhu," Mao Yuliang called out in a low voice.

Zhu Shengye was pulled back from his thoughts, and the hand behind him quietly tightened.

He looked at Mao Yuliang and said in a low voice, "Tonight is the most critical. We must persevere no matter what. Even though the King of Wei will be punished, there is no guarantee that others will not take the opportunity to cause chaos. Cining Palace is still the top priority. I will I will send you three more groups of troops to follow your orders. I want you to guard me until noon tomorrow to ensure that Cining Palace is safe and sound, no matter what happens, can you do it?"

Mao Yuliang was startled. He heard the unreserved trust in Zhu Shengye's words.Because it is so sincere, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"My subordinates will fulfill their mission." Mao Yuliang answered firmly.

Zhu Shengye nodded approvingly, "Although Rui Jieyu is a heroic and loyal woman, she is still a concubine in the harem. Our imperial guards are not so useless. We need a woman to rush forward."

Mao Yuliang responded immediately, "Yes! I obey."

Zhu Shengye glanced sideways at him.

Mao Yuliang immediately added: "Yes. The commander-in-chief is right. We must protect Empress Rui Jieyu and not let her rush in front. If she insists on rushing in front, knock her out and stop her."

Zhu Shengye turned his face with cold eyes. Mao Yuliang immediately fell silent, but with a smile in his eyes, "If this is not enough, Commander, do you think you should go back now and knock her out and tie her up, so that you don't have to follow us?" Fight and kill.”

"If you are not afraid that the emperor will chop you down, just do it."

In Mao Yuliang's stunned eyes, Zhu Shengye got on his horse and galloped away.

By the time Mao Yuliang returned, Jiang Yuebai had been invited back to the inner palace by the Sixth Prince.
