Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 18

To everyone's surprise, apart from Qingxia's Lanting Hall and Danfei's Yunxiang Hall, almost every palace gate found voodoo puppets. For a while, the East Palace was crying loudly, and voices of grievances could be heard endlessly From the two concubines of De and Chen to the inner court, dozens of beauties, Shuwan, Cairen, and Zhaoyi were all chained up by the imperial guards.Concubine Rou is still keeping her filial piety in the ancestral temple because of the death of her sister, the former princess, and she was lucky to escape the catastrophe.

Disasters always come very quickly, Qing Xia sat in the main hall of the Lanting Hall, watching the soldiers of the imperial guards overturning all the cabinets like wolves and tigers, she was neither annoyed nor panicked, her expression was Calm, without any emotion.Xiangju Xiangmei waited for the servants to stand beside her, listening to the earth-shattering cries outside, she felt a chill in her heart.Under the long chain, most of the forces in the entire East Palace were locked up. Even the East Yang Palace where Prince Chuli lived was found evidence of witchcraft.

But even with such a huge move, outsiders still don't know anything about what happened inside. The four palace gates of the imperial city are all closed, and there is a lot of noise inside, but there is no news from the outside.

Today, it is about to turn over.

Qing Xia frowned and pondered, no matter whether she admits it or not, her life has already been linked with Chu Li, if Chu Li is allowed to lose power and the banker falls, there is no reason for her to be spared.

How insignificant an individual's power is in front of a country, Qing Xia has long understood the truth, she sat quietly on the seat, but her mind was running at high speed, that man really is not simple.

In the middle of the moon, Qiqi, the chief judge of the Great Temple Mansion, was secretly summoned into the palace. The Crown Prince Donggong was found to be involved in a case of witchcraft, which was kept secret in the palace.So for a while, the guards were all over the entire harem. The emperor was still in a coma, and the affairs of the palace were handled by Concubine Xiao. She secretly recruited the emperor's younger brother, the Thirteenth Prince, to preside over the overall situation in the palace.

On the fire scene full of people's voices, countless palace people begged and cried in unison.Although no evidence was found in Qingxia's Lanting Hall, since he was also a member of the East Palace and was involved in it, he was also under surveillance.Concubine Chen and Concubine De and the others were crying bitterly, losing their graceful and luxurious temperament, and they were so frightened that they lost their minds.In front of them just now, some low-level servants and maids were burned alive. These women who lived deep in the palace were frightened, and some of them almost became stupid. The concubines and concubines who presented the evidence were frightened and tortured by many people, and they were beaten into tricks.

Qing Xia originally thought that at least she would be handed over to the Dasifu for interrogation and then convicted, but she didn't expect that these people were so vicious and impatient.Chu Li is now in charge of the military power in the imperial city, no wonder they are so scrupulous.

The matter quickly came to a conclusion. In less than an hour, Chu Li secretly communicated with the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple on the outskirts of Southern Chu, learned witchcraft spells from the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, and murdered the current King of Chu with the intention of ascending the throne soon. Be confirmed.There are sufficient evidence, personal and physical evidence, and more motives for committing the crime. Everything seems to have been settled in a short time.

An oracle soon spread out of the east gate of the imperial city, the emperor was critically ill, and the prince was called back to the palace immediately.

Qingxia tightly held the hand of the frightened Xiangju girl, and sat in the crowd with a firm expression. After all, there was no real evidence to prove that she was involved in the witchcraft case, and the banker was powerful, so there was no one for a while. what kind of abuse.It's just that she deeply understands the reason why the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. If Chu Li loses this premeditated battle for power, the entire East Palace will be buried for him.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Chu Li, she had to admit that she didn't want Chu Li to fall.The turmoil was too strange, and it happened to be at the time when Prince Qi was escaping and confronting the Qi State. Chu Li put most of his energy outside the palace, so he was forcibly restrained by thunder.In addition, he has only been back to China for a year, and there is a thin layer of ice under the seemingly beautiful surface. One bad thing is that the ice breaks and people die.The instability of the regime is the direct cause of the riots, but what Qingxia must admit is that, if not for herself, Chu Li would not have been taken advantage of so easily, after all, Qi An was released by her .

Numerous servants of Lanting Hall and servants of Yunxiang Hall were imprisoned in a dilapidated palace. Qing Xia sat in the East Wing with her own people. In the middle hall outside were Concubine Dan and others. The guards are like wolves and tigers, and the windows have been sealed, making it impossible to get around.Qing Xia knew that at this time, the palace must be the most tightly guarded, and since the rebels had carefully planned such a large-scale turmoil, they must be fully prepared and sure.And there are other plans to ensure that after the death of Chu Li and the old king of Chu, the situation can be controlled.

At this time, as long as Chu Li steps into the palace, there must be no reason, and once he dies, it means that everyone in this house will go to hell with him.Qingxia narrowly escaped death from the explosive shrapnel in the military headquarters, so she couldn't just die in this palace coup in a daze.

Forget it, Chu Li provided for himself to eat and drink, and he even occupied his wife's body and let his enemy go. Today, when he wants to repay him a little kindness and save himself, he will also help him.

"Xiangju, take off your clothes." Qing Xia said softly, lying next to Xiangju's ear.

The little girl saw that Qing Xia pulled off her clothes, she couldn't help being surprised: "Niang Niang?"

"If the prince is allowed to return to the palace, we will be finished. I will go out of the palace to report."

"No, empress!" Xiangju was taken aback, and suddenly cried out, but Qing Xia covered her mouth, the little girl quickly hinted that she would keep her voice down, Qing Xia then put down her hand, Xiangju sincerely said Grabbing Qing Xia's arm, he said sadly: "The outside is full of rebels, your empress must not go out to take risks. His Royal Highness is blessed with great blessings, and will definitely wipe out the thieves to save us."

"Wait for him? It's better to rely on myself." Qingxia took off her clothes impatiently, threw it to Xiangju, and said in a low voice: "Stop nagging, hurry up!"

"Your Majesty," Xiangju burst into tears, she knelt on the ground and held Qing Xia's hand tightly, crying: "If your mother must go, let Xiangju go, Xiangju is dead It doesn't matter, the empress is a body of gold, so there must be no mistakes."

Qing Xia couldn't help being moved when she heard the words, seeing her crying pitifully, stretched out her hand to pull her up, wiped away the tears on her face with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Silly girl, no one is allowed to die. Well don't cry, Listen to me, don't worry, it's not that easy for your mother to be killed."

It's hard to talk about it, and then I persuaded Xiangju to pretend to be in the house.At this time, the army is in chaos, and people's energy is concentrated on the periphery. If there is one and a half little palace ladies missing, no one will pay attention to it.

The soldiers who went to deliver the handwriting had already set off for a while, Qingxia could only hope to take the straight road of Xihuamen, so that it might be possible to intercept Chuli's chariot and horses on the way.Qing Xia was wearing a court lady's long skirt and was running in the remote Xiyuan Garden, just as she was running forward, suddenly a figure flashed out from a corner next to it, knocking Qing Xia to the ground at once.

Qing Xia rolled forward on the ground and stabilized her figure.At this time, there were noisy voices everywhere, which affected her hearing instead.As soon as the dagger slipped in his sleeve, he wanted to kill someone in the future, so as not to expose Xingzang.At this time, those who can walk freely outside are either rebels or their accomplices.

But Qing Xia hadn't moved yet, but that person ran over in a hurry, lifted Qing Xia's arm, and quickly said: "How is it? Did it break?"

Qing Xia was taken aback for a moment, hearing the man's tone without any trace of hostility, she suddenly put away the dagger that was already on the man's chest.At this time, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and he looked aside suspiciously.What I saw was not the armor of Senran, but a pale blue civil official uniform with a light blue bird embroidered on the chest, which should be a fourth-rank civil official.The man had slender hands and a bookish air that is unique to a literati. Even in such a embarrassing situation, he still did not lose his meekness.He hurriedly helped Qing Xia up, seeing that she was fine, he said in a deep voice: "Which palace maid are you? You are too bold. You still dare to wander outside at this time. Once you are caught, you will be beheaded." Woe. Go, find a place to hide."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry, the direction was also the Xihuamen where Qingxia wanted to go.Qingxia didn't see the man's face until this moment.This man is not very handsome, but his face is clear and clear, which makes people feel very comfortable.The eyebrows are distant, the long hair is erected, and the back looks a little thin.Judging from his running posture, one can tell that he doesn't exercise very much, but just a little faster, he staggers, as if he is about to fall at any time.

This person was in a hurry, and he didn't know who it was.Qing Xia secretly became more careful, hung tightly behind him, and still ran towards Xihua Gate.

There was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps, Qing Xia yelled inwardly that he was not good, and before he had time to warn the man, he had already been found by Xing Zang.

"Lin Changshi, in a hurry, where are you going?" The man in the Imperial Guard uniform stretched out his hand, the long knife in his hand was cold, and stopped in front of the scholar.

The scholar looked startled, then took a step back, and shouted generously: "You gangsters and thieves! I want to report your crimes in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and bring you to justice."

This idiot!

Qing Xia secretly frowned, not even speaking nonsense.Qing Xia, an officer of the Imperial Guard, knew him, his surname was Cheng, and he was the leader who came to the East Palace to arrest people tonight.Obviously discovered the whereabouts of this nerd, and came to Xihua Gate to stop him.Now it's all right, I didn't reveal Xingzang, but a nerd popped up out of nowhere to disrupt the situation.Qing Xia gritted her teeth and looked at the situation outside, wishing she could grab that scholar and beat him up.
