Concubine Biography

Chapter 55

clang--

The death knell sounded from the palace, witnessing the fall of an emperor and sending a signal to those who hid in the dark.

"The emperor... the emperor died?" Su suddenly sat up, muttering to herself in disbelief.

Madam Su rushed in with a serious expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, this servant has ordered someone to bring the Third Young Master here."

Mrs. Su stood up, walked from one end to the other, and then from the other end to this end. Madam Su took a step forward and raised her voice slightly, "Your Majesty!"

"You, don't make noise! ​​I'm in a mess right now..." Su Shi looked very strange, a little worried, a little happy, and a little... desperately crazy.

"Sister, tell me, will my younger brother bring someone?" Su turned around and grabbed Su's hand, and asked with joy and suspicion.

Su Momo squeezed her hand hard, "Your Majesty, calm down! Second Master will definitely bring someone here, now you have to make up your mind!"

Su Shi suddenly woke up, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, mother is right, I have to calm down!" Su Shi walked back and forth twice, as if thinking about something.

"Your Majesty! There seems to be... something wrong outside." A little girl rushed in in a panic.

Su's cold sword-like eyes caught her, "What's going on outside?"

The little girl was taken aback, and stammered, "Outside, there are many, many soldiers outside...."

Su's face turned pale suddenly, "Hurry up! Pass on the word, call out all the family guards in the mansion, and guard every door, absolutely no one can be let in. Mother Su!"

"Your servant is here." Madam Su took a step forward.

"Bring the third young master here, hurry up! Find some servant's clothes and come here quickly!" Su Shi said anxiously, Mother Su didn't dare to delay for a moment, she went out and brought Li Peixiang in personally, Li Peixiang was sleepy I was so confused that I didn't know what happened.

After Su Momo brought the clothes, Su took off her gorgeous clothes without saying a word and changed into the servant girl's dusty clothes, and took off the hairpin on her head, and simply tied her hair up.

Regardless of Li Peixiang's crying, he took off all the clothes on Li Peixiang's body and changed them into ordinary children's clothes. After everything was ready, Su thought for a while, "We can't stay in the main courtyard anymore, we all Avoid to the big kitchen." The big kitchen is full of people, if someone takes the opportunity to attack the palace, there may be a glimmer of hope for their mother and son.

When the imperial power changes, the most unpredictable thing is the moment of the palace change. Only the last person alive can become the person standing at the top.

Just like Su's immediate reaction after hearing the death knell, Hong Ying's expression also changed after hearing the death knell.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, something has happened! Xiao Shanzi, carry the prepared burden on your back! Nanny Liu, quickly load up the dry food! Imperial Physician Chen, come and help me!" Hong Ying stood at the door of the house, commanding calmly with.

Fu'er sat up and put on her clothes, and only after seeing Hong Ying came in did she ask, "What's wrong?"

Hongying stepped forward to help her up, quickly put on her clothes, messed up the bed, took out the clothes from the closet and left them on the floor, after a while, the originally clean room became messy, Hongying worked Said, "Ma'am, it's too late to explain now, turn around and the servant said slowly, let's go, let's go out!"

After leaving the house, Fu'er saw Chen Qi carrying the medicine box with a dignified expression, while Xiao Shanzi and Nanny Liu each carried a big burden, obviously prepared in advance.

Hong Ying supported her, nodded to everyone, "Let's go."

Although Fu'er couldn't figure out the situation, she could see the seriousness of the matter from everyone's expressions. Thinking of the situation of the emperor, could it be that... the emperor died?

After opening the courtyard door, Xiao Shanzi poked his head out to look left and right, but fortunately the palace had strict rules, no one appeared at this time.

"No one, you can come out now." Xiao Shanzi nodded and walked ahead.

Hong Ying helped Fu'er out, and Fu'er supported her waist with her hands and held her belly, she didn't dare to walk too fast, but now her body was really heavy, and after walking a few steps, she started to pant heavily.

"Ma'am, hold on, we must do it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble!" Hong Ying said anxiously.

Chen Qi frowned all the time, seeing that Fu'er couldn't do it like this, he stepped forward and handed the medicine box to Hong Ying, "Help me hold it, I'll hug her."

"Brother!" Fu'er exclaimed, she is not light now.

Hong Ying only hesitated for a moment before taking the medicine box. Chen Qi took a deep breath, stretched one hand under Fu'er's armpit, and the other hand to the crook of Fu'er's leg, and hugged Fu'er horizontally.

Seeing that the veins on Chen Qitong's red face were bursting, Fu'er couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "Brother, you can't hold me, let me down and let me go by myself."

"Don't move around," Chen Qi gritted his teeth, "Go!"

Fu'er didn't dare to move anymore, she obediently put her arms around Chen Qi's neck and let Chen Qi hold her all the way forward.

The crowd quickened their pace and walked to the rockery by the Jasper Lake. Hong Ying led the crowd around and walked to an inconspicuous corner. After searching for a while, he found a place and pressed it down hard. The rockery let out a groan. There was a light click, revealing a dark secret passage.

"You guys go in first, don't move around!" Hong Ying looked around vigilantly and signaled Chen Qi to go in.

The secret passage was a bit narrow and dark, Chen Qi carefully put Fu'er down, then walked in front of Fu'er, turned around and asked Xiao Shanzi, "Is there a Huozhezi?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Shanzi hurriedly took out a torch from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi lit the torch, led Fu'er and walked in slowly, followed by Xiao Shanzi and Liu Mama with their burdens on their backs.

Hong Ying stood at the same spot, listened attentively for a while, held her breath, and then looked around, making sure that there was no one there, then turned around and entered the secret passage, and closed the mechanism.

The secret door was slowly closed, and from the outside, there was no trace of anyone coming.

In the secret passage where you can't see your fingers, there is only a little orange light from the fire pocket illuminating the palm-sized ground in front of you.Chen Qi took the fire booklet, bearing in mind what Hong Ying said and dared not move forward.

Hong Ying squeezed past Nanny Liu and Xiao Shanzi sideways, approached Fu'er and asked with concern, "Does your mother feel all right?"

Fu'er held Chen Qi's arm tightly, "It's okay."

Only then did Hong Ying feel relieved, went to the front and took the fire bag from Chen Qi's hand, and said in a low voice, "This is also the first time for this servant, please follow closely, Imperial Physician Chen, please take good care of your mother."

Chen Qi said softly, "Well, I know how to do it." As he spoke, he hugged Fu'er tightly in his arms again.

In such a narrow and dark secret passage, everyone's hearts are tightened. It is not surprising that there are secret passages in the palace. Who doesn't have a place to save their lives?It's just strange that no one else seems to come in except them.

The time seemed to pass extraordinarily long, everyone's steps were small and slow, Hong Ying led the way, touching the wall of the secret passage from time to time, as if to determine the route based on this.

After passing through two forks, Hongying called everyone to stop, turned around and went to one place by himself, after a while, a torch on the wall lit up, and Hongying stood in front of the torch and blew out the fire.

There is actually a dark room in the secret passage.

The dark room is not big. There is a stone bed covered with quilts, a stone table and two stone benches. There is a small door next to it. I don’t know where it is, and there is nothing else.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, Chen Qi helped Fu'er sit on the stone bed, Fu'er touched the quilt, there was no dust on it, and the fabric was very new, it seemed that it was put in recently.

Chen Qi took Fu'er's pulse again, and he was relieved when he was sure nothing was wrong.

Hong Ying turned around and went out for a while, and when she came back, her expression was relaxed, "Don't worry, Madam, no one knows this place except the prince."

Xiao Shanzi opened the big bag he had been carrying, and inside were two quilts and Fu'er's snowy fox fur cloak.

And Nanny Liu also opened the bag, which contained steamed buns, flatbreads and other dry food, as well as a small jar of pickled vegetables.

"This..." Fu'er couldn't help the doubt that had been hiding in her heart.

Hong Ying smiled, "This is the secret passage of our palace, the slaves have informed the people in our yard ten days ago to get ready, if the emperor's dragon controls Bintian, no one knows what will happen , Master also ordered that once you hear the death knell in the palace, you must hide in the secret passage as quickly as possible."

"The princess and the others..." Fu'er asked.

Hong Ying paused, "Mother, you don't have to worry about the princess and Concubine Yang, they have already prepared their way out, the concubine went to the Marquis of Lin'an after returning from the palace, Concubine Yang also went back to the Yang family once, They'll be fine."

Seeing that Fu'er wanted to say something, Chen Qi patted her on the shoulder, "At this time, everyone's self-protection is the top priority. We hide just in case. You are pregnant now, and the most feared thing is that someone else will take advantage of it."

Fu'er rubbed her stomach, yes, if someone rushed into her yard when there was chaos outside, wouldn't she be determined not to escape?Feeling scared just thinking about it, Fu'er shook her head, she is not a Tathagata Buddha, so she can't do the thing of cutting flesh and feeding eagles.

"The prince is still in the palace, what should he do?" Fu'er's only worry now is Li Jiarong's safety.

Hong Ying smiled, "Of course the prince will be fine."

She didn't say anything, what Li Jiarong told her was actually: stay in the secret path for ten days, if the king is alive, he will definitely come to pick you up.If this king dies, he must protect her and leave safely, so that she can live no matter what!To preserve the blood of this king!Fortunately, there will be another child who can accompany her...

Hongying lowered her head, thinking of Li Jiarong's smiling but sad look when she said this, their mothers are actually really happy...

In the palace at that time.

Li Jiarong seriously kowtowed three times to the deceased emperor, took a deep breath, clenched the gold medal in his hand, stood up and left Xuanming Hall without looking back.

Outside the hall, the leader of the [-] Imperial Forest Army had been waiting for a long time. Li Jiarong showed him the gold medal and asked coldly, "What's the situation in the city now?"

The leader cupped his hands respectfully, "King Cheng has turned his back on him. He just led his troops into Prince An's Mansion and bloodbathed the entire Prince An's Mansion. King Min and Prince Duan are leading the capital guards to the palace." He calmly finished all this and looked at the palace. Li Jiarong, wait for Li Jiarong to give orders.

Li Jiarong didn't order directly, but looked at Xiao Fangzi who was running fast and asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Fangzi nodded, "Just now the news has reached Xiao Qinzi. General Han and Mr. Yao's troops have led 5000 troops to ambush at the gate of the palace!"

Li Jiarong nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the leader Su Rong and said, "The imperial army obeys orders! Quickly wipe out the rebels, and if there are any rebels, kill them!"

At this moment, Li Jiarong had a stern face, with a murderous aura all over his body, the leader immediately bowed his hands, and shouted his orders, "This humble minister accepts the order!"

After the leader finished speaking, he strode out, Li Jiarong looked at Xiao Fangzi, Xiao Fangzi immediately handed Li Jiarong's saber, Li Jiarong took the sword and sneered, "Let's go, accompany me to meet me Those two good brothers!"

Standing at the highest place in the palace, Li Jiarong looked coldly at the dots of fire that lit up in the capital, heard the faint shouts of killing in his ears, and looked at the entire palace and the entire capital from afar. From today onwards, he is the whole world the emperor!
