first princess

Chapter 255: Seeking to usurp the throne (5)
Leng Youru brushed his hand away, and said lightly: "I have my own carriage, and besides, I didn't say to go back home with you."

"Where are you going if you don't go back to the house?" Zhuge Liuyun asked, but Leng Youru didn't answer, just pulled Brother Hao and walked towards the carriage beside him.

Zhuge Liuyun's heart turned cold, "Youru, you..."

"Don't follow me!" Leng Youru stopped him in a cold voice.

Zhuge Liuyun's expression froze, Leng Youru and Brother Hao who didn't dare to say anything got into the carriage.

He raised his eyes to look at Feixue, which was getting bigger and bigger, and deeply felt that winter had come too early this year. He frowned, vaguely feeling ominous.

In the conservatory of the General's Mansion, the passionflower bloomed beautifully. From a distance, it looked like a vast sea of ​​flames. Shangguan Qian was in this sea of ​​flames, and her cheeks also slightly reflected a magnificent red.She picked a few passionflowers, lowered her head and smelled the fragrance, with a happy smile in her eyes.

Walking out of the greenhouse, a gust of wind mixed with flying snow rushed towards her, and she instinctively turned her face away.In the next moment, I suddenly felt strange for no reason.She put down the bouquet, closed her eyes, and made mudras with her hands, carefully perceiving the law of energy between heaven and earth.

chaos!Unprecedented chaos!The original orderly and non-interfering laws are now intertwined, as if there is a force that forcibly blends them together.She loosened her fingerprints, opened her eyes, and ran quickly to the Moon Tower.Standing on a high railing, she could almost see the whole of the capital. She looked at the palace at first glance, and saw that the sky above the palace, which was supposed to be filled with red light, was once again enveloped in black air, red light and black air. They are fighting each other and fighting for land.She slowly looked around, and found that not only the palace, but the entire capital city was shrouded in black air, and the origin of the black air was... the imperial palace!
In the resplendent and resplendent sleeping hall, the gilt copper chiseled incense burner emits light smoke.Concubine Li nestled quietly in Yun Li's arms, twitching and crying like a kitten.Yun Li patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said comfortingly: "I have only been away for a while, why are you having nightmares again?"

Concubine Li trembled all over, her voice was trembling, "Ever since I gave birth to the emperor and walked through the gate of hell, I feel that I have been close to those... those... ghosts and snakes... from the world. Your Majesty, you have to accompany this concubine. Your dragon aura scares them away, otherwise...or the concubine will die..."

Yun Li glanced at his son who was sleeping soundly on the crib, restrained his temper and continued to comfort Concubine Li, "Don't think wildly, you are too nervous, and you are a little scared."

Concubine Li burrowed into Yun Li's arms again, "The concubine is afraid that she will never see the emperor again, and that she will not hear the emperor call the concubine 'mother concubine'."

Yun Li frowned imperceptibly, he didn't like the words, but he was always good-tempered, and soon he had a faint smile again, "No, you have a rest, I will come to see you after finishing my business, If you still feel unwell, tomorrow I will ask the queen to invite someone to come and perform a ritual."

Concubine Li nodded aggrievedly, "Yes, the concubine knows."

Yun Li stood up and was about to take a step when he suddenly felt dizzy and fell back down on the bed.Eunuch Deng hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? I'm a servant, pass it on to the Imperial Physician!"

Concubine Li hugged his arm, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked too hard!"

Yun Li waved his hands and wanted to get up again. At this moment, an eunuch crawled in and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty! I report to your Majesty! There is news from the Xiaoqi camp in the north of the city that the third prince is plotting to rebel...Assemble Two armies... meet... ten miles outside the city gate, and now... now they are coming towards the imperial city..."

Yun Li frowned fiercely, "How many people? Did you hear it?"

The eunuch shrank back and replied, "Ten...hundred thousand..."

"What?" Yun Li's mind went blank for a moment, and after the blankness, there was endless chaos. The imperial forest army and imperial guards in the capital combined were only [-], and the Xiaoqi Battalion in the north of the city had [-] troops. Report to higher levels?" With so many troops, there shouldn't be any news along the way.

The eunuch reported the words of the messenger one by one: "It seems that... the third prince controlled the officials along the road..."

So, the third child also controls a lot of cities now?So quietly!When did the third child's methods become so powerful?Yun Li's chest seemed to be blocked by a huge stone, and every breath took all the strength of his whole body.

Eunuch Deng held his arm, "Your Majesty, look..."

Yun Li resisted the feeling of being suffocated, and when he was about to speak, Concubine Li knelt at his feet, "Your Majesty, please allow Sister Yan Concubine to leave the Buddhist hall and return to the harem."

Yun Li looked at her ambiguously, and Concubine Li said with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not talented, but she also knows the current situation in the capital. Your Majesty, let Concubine Yan go!"

The Yan family army was the closest army to the imperial city, and the reason why the Supreme Emperor left them was to become a solid shield for the imperial city.The Yan family army has a total of 3 horses. If you add the [-] imperial guards in the city and use the geographical advantage to attack back and forth, you may not be able to defeat the third child. Moreover, even if you can't tell the winner, you can temporarily delay the time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Eunuch Deng and Concubine Li helped Yun Li, who was almost top-heavy, to the imperial study. Yun Li picked up a pen and drew up one imperial decree after another——

He ordered Guo Yan to rectify the imperial guards and be ready to fight at any time.

He ordered the father and brother of the Yan family to lead the Yan family army to rush into the king of Jingqin.

He ordered Zhuge Yu to go to Kunshan with the military talisman, and dispatched a hundred thousand troops to the station.

After the jade seal was sealed, the imperial decree was sent to each mansion as quickly as possible.

Yun Li personally went to the Buddhist hall to pick up Concubine Yan and came out. Seeing how she had lost weight twice, he sighed secretly, "I have wronged you these days."

Concubine Yan was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, "The concubine is not wronged. If sacrificing the concubine can calm the anger of the Zhuge family, the concubine will die! Please rest assured, the Yan family will fight for the emperor to the last!"

But Yun Li didn't know that the eunuch he sent to Yan's family died on the way before leaving the capital.The army of the Three Princes entered the capital at nightfall, Guo Yan led the army to fight with them, and forced them out of the imperial city with [-] soldiers. , ordered Jingzhao Mansion to lead the guards to eliminate the remaining chaotic parties in the city.

Among the rebellious party, some are the culprits left by the third prince, and some are the rogue Xiao Xiao who took advantage of the fire to loot. They can't afford to offend the Zanying family with strong guards, and they only pick small families and ordinary people to burn, kill and loot.As soon as Leng Youru and Brother Hao sat down in the room, a group of hooligans rushed in.Unfortunately, the yard has been unoccupied for a long time and lacks the necessary daily necessities. Seeing that the blizzard is approaching, ordinary maids may never return, so Leng Youru sent Cen'er to the nearby streets to buy.Who would have expected that in less than a quarter of an hour, so many villains would be killed out of nowhere!

There were screams one after another in the courtyard, and the strong smell of blood pervaded the entire courtyard in an instant, but was quickly blown away by the bitter wind and snow.Brother Hao's face turned pale, and a leopard-like vigilance appeared in his eyes.

"Youru, hide quickly!" Brother Hao heard the footsteps getting closer outside the door, and hurriedly urged Leng Youru to go to the inner room, Leng Youru held him back, "It's too late."

After the words fell, there was a bang, the door was kicked open, and five burly men rushed in madly.Their original intention was to rob money, but when they saw the beauty on the seat who didn't know whether she was a human or a fairy, their eyes all stared straight.Leng Youru shook hands suddenly, and hugged brother Hao beside her tightly.The leading brawny man laughed loudly, "I'm lucky today! I met such a delicate little widow! I'll go first, and it's yours when it's over!" As he spoke, he took a step under Leng Youru's fearful gaze. step closer.

Leng Youru subconsciously clutched her stomach, while praying for Cen'er to come back soon, while engaged in a fierce ideological struggle between suicide and humiliation.The brawny man smiled lewdly, and pulled up his belt as he walked.Leng Youru turned her face away in disgust, but Brother Hao suddenly lifted Leng Youru's arm, grabbed the vase at the side and slammed it on the strong man's head.

"Ah——I hurt to death! You little bastard, if I don't kill you, I've lived all these years for nothing!" The strong man wiped off the blood from his forehead, raised his foot and kicked Brother Hao Son.

Brother Hao jumped away cleverly, the strong man flew into the air, and became angry with embarrassment, "What are you guys looking at? Why don't you come to help quickly?"

A few people suddenly felt it was funny, how could one use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?It's embarrassing to deal with a small boy with the strength of several people.But in order to get that delicate little beauty sooner, they accepted even the most embarrassing thing.Brother Hao is a child after all, no matter how clever he is, he is outnumbered by the crowd, and within a few rounds, he was pushed to the ground by everyone.Without even thinking about it, the strong man picked up the knife on the ground and slashed at brother Hao's head mercilessly.

"Stop!" Leng Youru yelled loudly, tears welling in her eyes, "Let him go, what do you want... Do... Do as you please... Don't hurt him... And don't hurt the child in my womb..."

It's better to be voluntary than to be forced, and... a smirk flashed in the eyes of the strong man, and it's the same to kill this little brat after he's done!
Brother Hao cried and shook his head, "Youru, don't...don't..."
