Chapter 538 Everything is Tonight

"how come?"

Su Ran let out a low voice. "He is the emperor, and now this is the imperial city again!"

The imperial city is the most important place of a dynasty, and it is the place that was settled after countless consultations with the emperor, courtiers, and fortune-tellers at the beginning of the founding of the country. It can be said that it is the book of a country.Unless absolutely necessary, the emperor must not abandon the city and flee.

What's more, after the consolidation of the capital over the years, the city gates are already much thicker than those in other places.There are many troops stationed inside and outside the capital. Even if there are foreign enemies to invade, it will not be broken in a short time.

And under such heavy protection, His Majesty the Emperor, when the army attacked outside the city gate, left the people and soldiers all over the capital and sneaked away?

How does he act like an emperor?
Princess Jingyi was still trembling with anger: "Why wouldn't he? He was greedy for life and afraid of death since he was a child, and he didn't even dare to climb a rockery, for fear that someone would push him down from the mountain. Excellent, the number is still increasing, he was frightened, afraid of being caught, repeating the mistakes of Jingkang's shame, so he ran away first!"

Su Ran was speechless.

Brother Quan and the others were disappointed when they heard this.

An Ge'er was so angry that he jumped out. "He just ran away without leaving any arrangements?"

Princess Jingyi shook her head.

Brother Quan hurriedly asked: "How did you find out about this? How long did it take? Why was it discovered so quickly?"

"Didn't the courtiers gather at the gate of the palace today, begging the emperor to go to the city gate to supervise the battle, so as to boost the morale of the army?" Princess Jingyi shook her head and sighed, "The emperor said to let everyone wait, he will discuss it with the queen mother first. The officials waited outside for more than an hour, but there was no news inside, and some people couldn't wait any longer. They urged the eunuchs at the gate of the palace several times to invite the emperor, but the emperor said that the matter had just begun and it was not his turn yet. He stepped forward and asked the Minister of the Ministry of War to take the lead in watching. Whenever the soldiers at the city gate could no longer resist, he would not be too late. He never even summoned the ministers to the palace for an audience. They wanted to send them away, how could the officials agree? They knelt outside the palace gate, insisting to see the emperor. But the eunuchs and guards at the gate of the palace just closed the palace gate tightly to prevent them from entering, and there was a seesaw between the two parties. Afterwards, I don’t know which little eunuch blurted out that the emperor is no longer in the palace, and the officials became more and more angry, shouting that they must go to the palace to see the emperor, and there was a fierce conflict between the two sides.”

"Then, they broke in?" Mr. Yuan answered.

Princess Jingyi nodded.

"The emperor is not here, and most of the Imperial Forest Army has been transferred to guard the city gate. The guard at the gate of the palace is weak. So when the officials got excited, they broke through the barrier at the gate of the palace and rushed in."

"Then, they found out that the emperor is no longer here." Mr. Yuan nodded.

Princess Jingyi closed her eyes weakly, and then nodded again. "That's right. Not only the emperor, but also the queen mother, the queen, and the two princes and five little grandchildren born to the queen have disappeared."

"Ah!" As soon as her words fell, Huang's screamed suddenly, "Brother Zhuang! He, he, he... Didn't he go to study with the little Huangsun today? Now that the little Huangsun has run away, Where is he?"

Su Ran also turned pale.

She quickly looked at Princess Jingyi, and Princess Jingyi shook her head. "Now the palace is in chaos, and the people in my house just looked at the gate of the palace, but did not break in. At this time, it is not wise to take advantage of the chaos to break into the palace."

Su Ran understands.Even if the emperor is not there, the palace is still the palace.Now these people are running around in it, so someone will remember it.When the incident subsides later, these trespassers will inevitably be held accountable.So especially at this time, such muddy water cannot flow.

It's just that, under such chaos, what happened to her brother Zhuang?Su Ran gritted her teeth nervously.

An Ge'er couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped out quickly. "I gonna go see!"

"Come back!" Su Ran called him quickly.

"Sister!" Brother An yelled, "Brother Zhuang's life and death are uncertain now, and the palace is in such chaos. Brother Zhuang is a child, can he protect himself? He is still a child!"

"Brother Zhuang is not an ordinary kid." Brother Quan said softly, "Besides, I think with the emperor's suspicious temperament, he should not keep Brother Zhuang, he will give him together take away."

But as soon as the words came out, Huang yelled even more terribly.

"Where is he going to take Brother Zhuang? What is he going to do to Brother Zhuang? Brother Zhuang is still a child, he doesn't know anything!"

"Mother!" Su Ran hurriedly helped her to sit down, "Don't worry, the emperor won't do anything to Brother Zhuang. At least, as long as his father doesn't commit treason, the emperor won't treat him badly."

"What is treason? Isn't the son-in-law always loyal to the country? Why is he treason?" Huang grabbed her hand tightly.

Su Ran smiled wryly. "Isn't this the emperor's suspicion?"

When Princess Jingyi heard this, she immediately reacted, and immediately waved her sleeves in anger. "He has a good idea! He is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he dare not stay in the capital, but he still doesn't forget to take away the son-in-law of an important minister. In this way, he has a handle on others, and others dare not do things against him .Otherwise, he can hold someone else's child out to threaten him! In this way, no matter whether he is willing or forced, there is always some power behind him. So after the matter subsides, he can still come back with his face licked To be his emperor! He wants to be beautiful!"

Everyone present immediately understood what she meant, and everyone fell silent.

Wu looked left and right, and then she whispered: "Mother, don't be too angry. Since the emperor didn't forget to bring Zhenxi Wang's eldest son with him when he left, it means that he still agrees with Zhenxi Wang in his heart." Ability. That being the case, we have to believe that King Zhenxi can lead people to guard the capital well. As long as the capital is preserved, they will all come back safely."

Princess Jingyi sneered again.

"Yes, if the capital is well guarded, they will be able to come safely. However, when the emperor runs away, the people's hearts are in chaos. How many people still have the thought to defend the city? Besides, even if they really try their best to defend the city, the emperor will run away again. Come back, do you think he will reward these people who fought bloody battles and defended the capital with difficulty? No, he will find all excuses to get rid of them all, because these people have seen all the ugliness of his embarrassment. I can't hold my head up in front of them!"

The big guys gasped again at the same time.

According to Princess Jingyi, they are in a dilemma now.If Li Er can't defend the capital, Brother Zhuang will be in danger.But even if they keep it, their family will not keep it for long.Anyway, His Majesty's calculations are very precise, no matter when and where they are the meat he puts on the chopping board, he can cut whatever he wants!

Su Ran took a deep breath, and she slowly settled down.

"Forget it, those are things for the future, so there's no need to think about them so much for now. For now, let's think about how to solve the things in front of us first!"

"What's going on in front of you?" Princess Jingyi asked in surprise, "Are you talking about defending the city?"

"Yes, keep the city." Su Ran nodded, "It's just that this is not just their men's business now. We must also join in."

Princess Jingyi raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean by that? What does it matter to us?"

"Auntie, don't you think it's strange? As soon as the emperor left, the officials gathered at the gate of the palace. At that time, someone leaked out the whereabouts of the emperor. Then, they broke through the palace and confirmed Then, the news got out! By now, the people in the entire capital should know about it? It’s not dark yet! In this day, things happened too much and too quickly , It's too coincidental." Su Ran said quietly.

Princess Jingyi's expression changed drastically. "You mean to say..."

"This was deliberately arranged by someone to cause chaos in the capital. Otherwise, if the emperor is not around, the ministers must cover this matter tightly. Otherwise, the hearts of the people will be unstable, the morale of the army will be unstable, and there will be enemy troops attacking outside. Under such circumstances, how many people can calmly guard the gate of the city?"

Princess Jingyi's face darkened instantly. "Really! I was so focused on paying attention to the emperor's escape just now, I didn't think carefully about the deep meaning inside. So, what do you think we should do now?"

"Of course it is to ask people to guard the door of the house. Now, if we want everyone to gather together, people must be deployed at the two gates outside. Tonight, there must be a huge wave."

Su Ran raised her head, and she spoke meaningfully word by word.

"Since the wave has come, it will only get bigger and more ferocious. Everything is tonight."
