Quickly wear the heartthrob: Peach Blossom Beauty Fululai

Fortunately, Huo Haochu and his soldiers were very skilled in martial arts, and they were able to kill the assassins without any danger every time.

Huo Haochu made a prompt decision and took Shen Qingjiao and the others back to the general's mansion to hide temporarily.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Huo Haochu met with his family and learned that his father and elder brother had also recently suffered several assassination attempts.

However, after everyone discussed it, no one could say for sure who sent the assassin, so they had to put the topic aside for the time being.

When Huo's mother saw Huo Haochu bringing a charming woman home, she was very happy and asked, "Son, who is that girl?"

Over the years, she introduced many girls to her son, but he didn't like any of them, which made her very worried.

Unexpectedly, when his son came back this time, he took the initiative to bring a woman back with him.

Huo's mother was overjoyed, thinking that her son had finally gotten the idea.

Huo Haochu hurriedly said in a serious tone, "Mother, she is the Imperial Concubine. We in the Huo family must treat her well and not treat her with disrespect."

After learning that the woman next to their youngest son was Concubine Shen, Mr. and Mrs. Huo were stunned.

Even though they were far away in the northwest, they knew that Concubine Shen was deeply favored by the emperor.

So, Mr. Huo asked the chef to roast lamb in the courtyard, intending to let Concubine Shen taste this northwestern specialty.

At this time, Shen Qingjiao came in from outside.

Just now, when Huo Haochu was discussing something with his family, Shen Qingjiao was not convenient to stay aside.

So she took Xiao Zhongzi and Zhu Ling to the pharmacy and prepared some medicine.

As soon as Shen Qingjiao walked into the courtyard, she smelled the milky aroma of mutton and smiled.

But just as she took a few steps forward, several men in black flew in from the outer wall.

When Huo Haochu saw this scene, his eyes almost burst. Fearing that the assassin would hurt Shen Qingjiao, he raised his sword and rushed forward like a gust of wind.

But the man in black seemed not to see Shen Qingjiao. He took the initiative to bypass her and rushed directly towards Huo Haochu and Huo's father.

After a fierce battle, the Huo family successfully subdued the assassins and removed their jaws to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide.

Then, he placed paper and pen in front of the assassins and asked them to confess who sent them.

But the interrogation results were the same as every time before, no assassin was willing to confess.

The Huo family was in distress. Shen Qingjiao took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, handed it to Huo Haochu, and whispered, "This is the medicine I just prepared. After it is used on the assassin, it should be able to pry open their mouths."

Huo Haochu took the medicine without hesitation and poured it into the assassin's mouth.

Soon, the assassin felt as if all the muscles and bones in his body were being gnawed by millions of ants. He curled up on the ground, rolling and shouting.

Half an hour later, the assassin, who was tortured to death, was finally willing to confess, and Shen Qingjiao threw the antidote into his mouth.

A quarter of an hour later, the assassin's pain eased and he said something that made everyone pale, "It was the order from the Regent..."

It took a while for the Huo family to recover.

It turned out that Ye Junchen wanted them to die!

Ye Junchen's purpose was obvious. He wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to seize the Huo family's military power, and then use the military power to force His Majesty to give up the throne to him.

What a wolfish ambition!

Father Huo frowned and asked his two sons to go into the study to discuss the matter.

"Son, what do you think the Huo family should do next? Your father wants to hear your opinions."

After a moment of silence, Huo Haochu took the initiative to speak.

"Father, brother, I think that in order to protect the imperial power from falling into Ye Junchen's hands, the Huo family should immediately lead troops to attack the capital and force Ye Junchen to withdraw from the court."

After hearing these words, Huo's father and eldest brother were stunned and stared at Huo Haochu.

The eldest brother shook his head slightly, "Second brother, this is not appropriate. The Huo family army has been guarding the northwest to protect the people from being plundered by the Xirong army."

"If we rashly lead our troops away from here, the Western Rong army will probably take advantage of the situation and invade, and the people will not be able to live in peace."

Father Huo also agreed with his eldest son's opinion, "Haochu, I understand your feelings, but we can't ignore the safety of the people in the northwest for our own selfishness."

Facing the concerns of his father and elder brother, Huo Haochu calmly explained, "Don't worry, the Imperial Concubine is a genius and has eliminated this hidden danger for our Huo family army."

Then, he told the whole story of how Concubine Shen fought wits and courage with the King of Xirong and successfully signed a ceasefire agreement with the other party.

Father Huo was astonished. "The Imperial Concubine is truly extraordinary. Her talents and strategies are comparable to those of men!"

"The Imperial Concubine is resourceful and admirable!" The eldest brother was deeply moved.

Now that their worries had been eliminated, the three members of the Huo family discussed the next siege plan together.

In October of the same year, Huo Haochu led an army of 250,000 and marched northward in the name of "clearing the court."

As the regent was too harsh in his policies and imposed heavy taxes that hurt the people, he lost the support of the people. Wherever the army went, they were unstoppable and easily broke through the defense lines.

In just over a month, the Huo family army arrived at the imperial city with a powerful and overwhelming force.

Huo Haochu was originally a general of the Yulin Army, responsible for guarding the capital, protecting the palace and the emperor. When the Yulin Army saw General Huo returning, they became afraid and their fighting power was greatly reduced.

Therefore, Huo Haochu easily broke into the hall and met the Regent Ye Junchen, whose face was as gloomy as iron.

Facing the aggressive approach of the Huo family army, Ye Junchen sneered, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. How is General Huo going to deal with me?"

Huo Haochu did not answer his question, but frowned and asked, "Where did you hide His Majesty?"

He asked all the soldiers of the Imperial Guards, but they all said that they had never seen His Majesty since the Regent took control of the government.

Ye Junchen sneered, "He died a long time ago."

"What?" Huo Haochu's pupils trembled, "You are so bold that you dare to kill the king!!!"

Ye Junchen disagreed, "This throne should belong to me. He has sat on it for so long, which is the greatest kindness I have shown him."

After a pause, he changed the subject and said coldly, "You haven't answered my question yet. How do you plan to deal with me?"

Huo Haochu spoke slowly, "Prince Anling committed regicide, which is a heinous crime. He will be imprisoned in Prince Anling's mansion for life and is not allowed to take a single step out!"

Hearing this, Ye Junchen laughed wildly.

Take away his freedom and he would rather die.

In a flash, Ye Junchen bumped into the tip of Huo Haochu's sword.

Because the two were too close, it was too late for Huo Haochu to retract his sword.

Ye Junchen's body went straight through Huo Haochu's sword and he eventually died.

The hall was silent.

The soldiers did not expect such an outcome.

His Majesty was killed by the Regent.

But Your Majesty had no children during his lifetime, so there is no one to inherit the throne.

Deputy General Li was the first to react. He knelt down and shouted to Huo Haochu, "Long live His Majesty!"

The others came to their senses and immediately knelt down in a large group, shouting, "Long live His Majesty!"

Huo Haochu was stunned for a moment and asked in horror, "What are you doing?"

Lieutenant General Li shouted, "The late emperor was killed by the regent, and he has no son. The throne is vacant, which is not conducive to the stability of the court. Now, you kill the regent and avenge the late emperor. This is the destiny!"

"It's destiny!" the crowd below shouted again.

The bewildered Huo Haochu was strongly recommended by everyone and finally ascended the throne.

Sitting on the dragon chair, he looked at the soldiers who were constantly paying homage below, and suddenly remembered that on the day when the late emperor held a banquet for the third prince in the palace, Concubine Shen was sitting on the seat to his right...
