Chen Palace

Chapter 155
"Could it be that King Xiang..."

Sun Ming trembled, but he couldn't say the word of betrayal. He is also a man who knows how to fight. Although Luancheng is not big, it is also an important town in the north. In the hand, if there is nothing strange in it, it is really unbelievable.

"I still underestimate uncle..."

The emperor sighed gloomily, thinking of Lin Kuang's unruly expression with a smirk, another burst of rage filled his heart, he took a deep breath to hold it back, and whispered to himself: "The world has entered a troubled season from now on..."

Hearing a loud bang, all the courtiers and eunuchs in the corridor exclaimed in unison. Qu Yun closed his eyes and stood guard in front of the door. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he heard someone shouting from a distance: "The Palace of Fengxian has collapsed!"

The cry was shrill, heard in the early morning, even though the sun touched the surface, it still caused the people present to shiver.

The emperor also had internal strength, and he heard it clearly in the hall. He pushed the door out and jumped onto the eaves.

Looking down from the heights, one could see the Fengxian Hall, where the ancestors were worshipped, to the east of the inner court, more than half of which had collapsed.

He didn't want to look any more, he jumped down, his complexion became more and more gloomy, the surrounding palace ladies and eunuchs were silent, and those who were timid were about to faint.

Yuan Qi looked up at the rising sun in the sky, clenched his hands into fists, and murmured, "Is it such a coincidence..."

He thought of the significance represented by Fengxian Temple, and the reaction of the people in the world, and his heart became more worried and angry.

What is enshrined in the Fengxian Hall is the tablet of the ancestors of the dynasty. From the first emperor to the last three generations, there are all posthumous titles. The respect case, the apse is divided into nine rooms, with shrines, treasure beds, treasure chairs, 楎椸, and confession cases and lanterns in the front. It is an awe-inspiring and inviolable holy place for the royal family.

Now that the enemy is coming, Fengxian Hall collapses on its own, is it an ominous omen from heaven?

The palace people thought about it in private, and glanced at the emperor secretly, only to see him grit his teeth and sneer, hearty, yet agitated——

"The atrocities committed by the barbarians of the Tartars made the spirit of the late emperor... unable to restrain himself!"

His voice was calm and bold, under the majestic appearance, it was like thunder and lightning from the nine heavens, breaking the rigidity and suffocation freely and vividly.

"It is my will to appease the late emperor's heroic spirit, to keep the Fengxian Hall as it is, without repairing it, and wait until all the Tatar cavalry are wiped out, and the world is peaceful, and then we will pay respects to our ancestors with great gifts!"

As if in response to his voice, there was a final dull bang in the distance—the empty beams and pillars finally fell to the dust and returned to the earth.

When Chen Lu arrived, Sun Ming was no longer there. In the quiet apse, only the emperor was sitting on a high chair, meditating.

The purple smoke curled up from the cauldron furnace, making the hall dark and gloomy, as if time stood still here.

"What happened?"

Chen Lu asked quietly.

Yuan Qi was a little tired and handed the memorial to her.

"It turned out to be like this!"

Chen Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Kuang betrayed the imperial court and brought in the Tatar army?!"

"If it wasn't for him, how could Luancheng be destroyed overnight..."

The emperor was neither happy nor angry, his eyes were full of tiredness because of the sudden bad news.

"This stalker!!"

The ice-snow color in Chen Lu's eyes was icy, and she was full of decisive anger all over her body.

"This is my good uncle!"

The emperor's tone was full of pungent sarcasm, and he was beyond anger.

"I've always known about his ambitions, but I never thought that he would really dare to openly collaborate with the enemy and betray the country."

Chen Lu raised her brows high, thinking of the evil deeds of the Lin family, her murderous intent rose like a flying rainbow.

"How is the situation now?"

"It's terrible..."

The emperor motioned her to read the next page of the memorial, pointed to the passage he had pinched, and said, "In order to prevent my uncle from mobilizing the imperial army, I kept the three guards away from Luancheng and set up camp on the spot. Now Things started in a hurry, when they arrived, they only had time to meet King Ping's retreat."

"Prince Ping is still safe?"

Chen Lu was a little surprised.

"He was stabbed in the chest, and the attendants tried their best to save him - he was competitive and had been fighting with King Xiang repeatedly to compete for Luancheng. He never thought that this was just a trick to kill him !"

The emperor remembered the reconnaissance a while ago, and couldn't help laughing: "What King Xiang cares about is not at all to secretly transfer the imperial army, but to attract the attention of the imperial court and King Heping, and use Luancheng as a bait to lure the world into the ring!
They were talking, only to hear Qin Xi trembling outside, calling in a low voice: "Your Majesty—"

"What's up?!"

"The Empress Dowager invites you and Concubine Chen to go there."
