Chapter 243
Empress Chu sighed, she was going to get married in a month, but at this juncture, such a thing happened, it was really worrying.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, Your Majesty!" A panicked voice suddenly rang out, and immediately after that, a palace maid with a flustered expression appeared in the hall.Empress Chu frowned when she saw this woman.

"Aren't you Xiangxue, the servant girl next to King Jin? What are you yelling about?"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. His Royal Highness Prince Jin had an accident in the sky prison of Dali Temple!" Xiangxue was out of breath, and her whole body seemed to be sweating profusely from the strenuous exercise.Empress Chu's heart tightened, and she immediately went up to her and asked her.

"What's going on, take your time and explain clearly!"

It was about Mu Yunshen. At this moment, Empress Chu had lost her composure, and the ominous premonition in her heart became more and more serious.Xiangxue fell at Empress Chu's feet, a stern look flashed quickly in her eyes, and a silver light faintly appeared between her sleeves.

"Miss, be careful!"

A hurried exclamation sounded beside my ears, and in a blink of an eye, the female officer in the corner of the room suddenly rushed out and pushed Queen Chu away.At the same time, a silver light brushed across the female officer's cheek, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

"Come here, escort! There are assassins!"

Xiangxue looked at Empress Chu with hatred, and continued to launch the sleeve arrow on her wrist, which was a hidden weapon that all the confidantes around His Highness would have.The palace is heavily guarded, and almost all of them are arranged by King Jin. If you want to find a breakthrough, you have to capture or even kill the queen, causing chaos in the harem!

In this operation, only success is not allowed to fail, they have no way out, if they lose, it will be doomed!

The cry for help from the palace people immediately aroused the attention of the guards outside the door, and they rushed in with their weapons.Although Xiangxue was good at martial arts, she was outnumbered by two fists and four hands. She missed the best opportunity, and she retreated steadily under the attacks of the guards.

At this moment, a group of white-clothed guards arrived in time. Empress Chu thought it was a rescue, but she didn't expect that the guards would directly fight with the guards.On the contrary, it was Xiangxue who had a look of joy on her face when she saw her relatives coming.

"Tangle them, I'll kill the queen!"

"Your Majesty, run away! This servant is stopping her!" The female officer with a bloody face said in a low voice, her expression was full of determination, this person was Xie Xinshu who was only left in the palace.Empress Chu found out Xie Xinshu's identity by accident, and in order to remind Xie's family, she specially arranged Xie Xinshu to serve in her Kunning Palace.It was just a little effort at first, but at a critical moment, he saved his life.

For a moment, Empress Chu was filled with emotions.However, Empress Chu couldn't bear to let her face the danger for herself.

"But."

"Your Majesty, hurry up! Your life is much more important than that of a servant!" Xie Xinshu gritted his teeth, picked up a knife from the ground and rushed towards Xiangxue.She knows that the current situation is very dangerous, but if she survives by chance, she will gain far more than what she lost!

What's more, she still has something to protect herself, which is worth fighting for!
Empress Chu knew that if she procrastinated any longer, she would harm others and herself, so she made up her mind, so she quickly turned around and left.Xie Xinshu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Xiangxue was about to catch up with Queen Chu, she immediately took out the things she had prepared a long time ago from her bosom, and threw them straight on Xiangxue's face!At the same time, she quickly held her breath and covered her face with her sleeves.

"what."

Xiangxue let out a scream, covered her eyes and fell to the ground and rolled.Xie Xinshu sprinkled quicklime, and the more Xiangxue rubbed her eyes, the more painful it became.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Frantically pressing the sleeve arrows and shooting wildly in the hall, Xie Xinshu couldn't dodge it, and was shot in the shoulder.She crawled on the ground, crawled to the table, grabbed the teapot, and pushed it in front of her.

When Xiangxue's sleeve arrows were exhausted, she endured the pain, picked up the teapot and ran to Xiangxue's side, and poured the water directly on her face.When the quicklime met the water, Xiangxue let out a shriek and felt that her eyes went dark, and she passed out from the pain.

Xie Xinshu tremblingly grabbed a knife and stabbed it into Xiangxue's heart. After a while, panting heavily, she fell to the ground in a daze.

In the palace, assassinations and battles began to take place. Countless guards appeared and fought with the guards in the palace, shouting and killing.

Empress Chu fled in embarrassment with the help of her palace servants. She was going to the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion, where there was a secret passage that only the empress could know.

"Quick! Hurry up and rush in!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. Just by hearing the sound, one could guess that a group of elite troops should be coming.Empress Chu's expression changed drastically, and the sound of those footsteps obviously came directly in the direction of the Palace of Compassion!We're going to catch up with them soon!

"Run away!"

Empress Chu stumbled to her feet and ran fast. She couldn't let those people catch her, absolutely not!What the hell is going on? Looking at the clothes of those guards, they are clearly members of the sixteen guards. Aren't they responsible for guarding the imperial city?Why would there be a massacre in the palace?The most difficult thing for Empress Chu to understand was that Xiao Qi was in charge of the sixteen guards of the imperial army, and the current situation was clearly forcing the palace!
No, no, it is impossible for Xiao Qi to do such a rebellious thing, let alone hurt her!It's the prince, it must be him!What happened at Dali Temple? The prince actually arranged for someone to force the palace, could it be——

Empress Chu looked pale, and she didn't dare to think about it any more. At this moment, she only had one thought, run away!She can't be caught and become a hostage in the hands of the prince, let alone die!
"How is the situation now?"

"Reporting to Prince Cheng, it's almost done. Among the sixteen guards, only six guards belong to the prince. They have already acted and showed their feet. The magpie girl came to report, and the prince arranged to arrest the heads of the various families and court officials. , are now hiding in the backyard of the Chu family."

"Very good, let's start action now! I've waited long enough for this moment! Order all the imperial guards to divide into five and enter from the south, east, northwest corner gates. This king will lead you straight to the middle gate and set off immediately! In addition , Let the son lead the troops to the Chu family, and never let anyone go!"

"As ordered!"

The tall and majestic man in military uniform at the head is King Cheng who has retired at home. He has not put on armor for a long time. At this moment, His Highness King Cheng is quite emotional, but soon, he got on his horse and led a team of elite soldiers into the palace.

Cheng Wang Baodao was not old, so he took the lead, and soon killed a bloody path in the palace.

"It's His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

"My lord, what should we do? Most of our people have been killed or injured. King Cheng led a team of elite troops to attack! The four corner gates in the palace are guarded by imperial troops, and we are already trapped!"

The soldier who delivered the order was covered in blood, and his tone was trembling. The reputation of the God of War, King Cheng, had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention the current situation, which was extremely unfavorable to them.The master suddenly planned ahead, they thought they were caught off guard, but they didn't expect that they would invite you into the urn!If it continues like this, it will be impossible for them to complete the mission, and they will even be buried here instead!

The leader, Tan Yi, also had a gloomy face. The development of the matter greatly exceeded his expectations. He felt that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.Not only him, even the master was tricked!At this moment, a guard suddenly ran up to him and muttered a few words in a low voice.Tan Yi's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed the guard by the neck.

"How did this happen? All the hostages of the Chu family were rescued? How is it possible?"

The Chu family is the prince's natal family, and they have already reached an agreement secretly with the prince, and they are working for the prince.If you can grasp these ministers, it will be a great help for the prince after he ascends the throne.The prince has long disliked the power of these aristocratic families, especially their containment of the royal family, and this time he plans to have a big cleansing.This matter is extremely secretive, only a few of their confidants and the Chu family know who has such a great ability to rescue people!
"My lord, this subordinate is not lying, they are members of the Chu family! The Chu family betrayed their master! They have no good intentions at all. They not only betrayed us, but also killed all the people we sent!"

"Immediately send a letter to the master, something is wrong, the plan can no longer be carried out as usual! We must withdraw quickly!"

Cining Palace.

"Queen Mother, we must quickly hide in the secret passage, those people are about to come in! Come on, you protect the Queen Mother and go to the Buddhist hall immediately!"

Empress Chu gave orders immediately. At this moment, there was a rapid knocking sound outside the door. Her expression changed, and she was about to speak when a palace official ran in excitedly.

"Empress Dowager, empress, it is His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, who has led troops into the palace to protect us!"

"King Cheng? Are you telling the truth? Is the person here really King Cheng?" The Queen Mother asked eagerly. She was old and often fell asleep, and it was difficult to wake up when she fell asleep.If Queen Chu hadn't woken her up in a hurry and explained the situation outside, the Queen Mother might still be asleep now.

"Queen Mother, don't be afraid! Erchen has already brought people into the palace, those rebels can't break in!"

"It's King Cheng's voice, Queen, hurry up, open the door and let King Cheng in!"

"What the queen mother said is, come here, go out and open the door!" Empress Chu also nodded excitedly, her heart finally fell into her throat.King Cheng is a trustworthy person, and even an elder respected by Xiaoqi. In order to quell the chaos, he even personally led troops into the palace, which shows that those rebels cannot overthrow the sky.

Even Emperor Xingwen was afraid of King Cheng's reputation as a God of War, and Empress Chu did not have the slightest doubt about his ability.

Not long after, King Cheng in military uniform appeared in front of everyone. He walked up to the queen mother and asked worriedly, "Queen mother, are you okay? Are you injured?"

"It's okay to be sad, those people haven't had time to rush over, they just got a little frightened. Emperor, what's going on?"

"The crown prince intends to force the palace to rebel, but right now, the situation has been brought under control, and the queen mother does not need to worry." King Cheng sighed and briefly explained the situation.Empress Chu confirmed what she was thinking, and slumped on the chair with a dazed expression.

"Why? Why did he do this? He is already a prince, and sooner or later the throne will be his..."

Decades of mother-child love, how can it be said to be broken?She thought that she would be sterile for the rest of her life, and when she had a prince, she wholeheartedly treated him as her only child.Even after giving birth to Xiao Qi, she never thought of treating her coldly.Even, let His Majesty issue a decree to make him the crown prince and Xiao Qi the king of Jin.Taught Xiao Qi since he was a child, to assist his elder brother, solve his problems, and help him become a wise king.
