Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Li Yun closed his eyes, thinking he was going to die here.

Shang Yan's voice sounded.

"You are really useless. You played a good hand of cards so badly. You can't even tell whether the person next to you is a human or a dog."

Li Yun reacted.

It’s Shangyan.

He subconsciously retorted:

"You are no better than me. You are an emperor, but there are still a lot of people waiting for your death. Do you know who has formed an alliance with the Southern Li Kingdom?"

Shang Yan was not angry either.

The dagger in his hand had reached Li Yun's neck.

"I am the one who jumped out and seized the throne. If it weren't for the shameless behavior of your countries, I would have cleared out all the evildoers in the court long ago."

"It's you. After all, you have been the crown prince for so many years, but you are still being schemed against by the people around you. You are useless."

Shang Yan cursed people for being cruel.

Li Yun tried to suppress his anger, otherwise he would have been pissed to death.

The guards behind Li Yun didn't know whether they should take action or not. It seemed that their master was arguing with the person opposite them. But the argument was the kind of innocuous quarrel of children.

Waited through the long passage.

What appeared before my eyes was a small open space.

Overgrown.

There is also the sound of running water.

The trees above blocked the sun overhead, and only a ray of sunlight could be seen falling on the ground through the gaps.

There are two caves along the open space.

One of them was turned into a kitchen by Shang Yan.

There were more than a dozen people following Shang Yan.

They were all dressed as soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and were eating barbecue.

Li Yun swallowed involuntarily.

"Want to eat?"

"think."

"Li Yun, if I send you to the capital of Nanli Kingdom, will Nanli withdraw its troops?" Shang Yan took the leg of lamb handed over by his subordinates, cut the meat with a dagger and started eating.

Li Yun swallowed.

He simply grabbed the lamb leg in Shang Yan's hand and took a big bite.

He nodded as he ate, "It smells so good."

"It is not a wise choice to use me in exchange for Nanli's withdrawal. But you and I can join forces." Li Yun took another big bite, "Since Nanli, Liguo and Xiliang can join forces, why can't we join forces?"

"To join forces with you?"

"Well, join forces with me. My father loves me a little, but as time goes by, it is not enough to compare with his kingdom."

Li Yun paused for a moment.

Sat on the ground in the cave.

He ordered his personal guards, "Go get some water."

The guards hurried to scoop water for Li Yun, but Shang Yan's men did not stop them.

Li Yun drank the water.

Then he spoke:

"Friendly alliances are based on personal preference. I like to form an alliance with the Great Zhou."

"Aren't you afraid that the Great Zhou will change its emperor?"

"What are you afraid of? I believe my sister has the courage to defend the capital for you. With this move of yours, you will soon force out the person behind the scenes." Li Yun finally understood.

The Shangyan couple can turn the tide against the odds.

He will not lose the throne easily.

Shang Yan had originally planned to form an alliance with Li Yun, but he lacked an opportunity to meet Li Yun.

That's perfect.

Li Yun was also forced into a desperate situation. Now several veteran generals in the army who were his father's men also agreed that the third prince should ascend the throne.

I don't want a prince like Li Yun, whose mother is a woman from the Great Zhou, to ascend the throne.

Li Yun wanted to kill.

He needs to unite with Shangyan.

The secret guards around Shang Yan are very powerful.

The two of them were in no hurry to leave the cave, so they arranged some things. Shang Yan sent out a signal, asking his secret guards and Li Yun's people to solve some problems together.

It is easy for Shangyan’s people to enter the Nanli border.

But it is difficult to enter the military camp.

……

Su Rutang entered a secret passage from the bedroom and followed the passage to a room where Shangqi and Yaoyao were waiting for her.

"Mother. Will you come out with us?"

Su Rutang handed the jade pendant in his hand to Shangqi, "I won't go out for the time being. You go find Aunt Song Huaiyan first, and then go with her to find Manager Yun."

"and then?"

Su Rutang had a smile on his face.

"Let them know that having more people doesn't necessarily mean you can become the emperor."

Su Rutang was confident about the explosives that Song Huaiyan mentioned.

"Mother."

"We have to leave now, okay?" Su Rutang asked them to hurry out, and she went back to the bedroom along the passage.

There is a quarrel outside.

"Where's the queen?"

"There is an urgent matter to report to the Queen."

Chunxi stopped anyone from coming in, "What emergency could there be in the middle of the night? The queen has already gone to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Aunt Chunxi, can you afford to delay things?"

"I'll take care of it." Chunxi refused to give in.

The people outside started arguing, "Did something happen to the queen? Or is she not in the palace?"

Suddenly, several people gathered around.

Su Rutang lifted the quilt from the bed, his voice filled with anger. "Chunxi, who is making noise outside?"

"To answer your Majesty, it was the aunt in charge of Empress Dowager Dou and the people of Prince Anping."

Su Rutang came to the door.

Chunxi opened the door.

Su Rutang looked at the people kneeling on the ground, with no expression on her face. "What's so important that you have to wake me up?"

Prince Anping's men quietly raised their heads.

Seeing Su Rutang wearing a nightgown, with no pearl hairpins in her hair, her face was so cold that ice water could drip, and she looked at them as if she was looking at a dead person.

"News came from the Five Cities Military Department that a shadow resembling that of the Crown Prince was seen near the Su residence." The person who spoke felt the air around him was very cold.

"Who brought the news in the middle of the night? How did they send it?" Su Rutang was still cold.

"This……"

Su Rutang bent down, pulled the dagger from his leg, and stabbed it directly into the speaker's neck.

Blood spurted out.

"Did I give you face? How dare you disturb my rest out of nothing? I wanted to ask the Royal Guards to punish you, but I haven't killed anyone in a long time."

Su Rutang pulled out the dagger.

The person who was speaking covered his neck with his hands, from which blood was gushing out.

His mouth opened and closed, and finally he twitched a few times and fell to the ground.

Several people nearby were so frightened that they begged for mercy.

Su Rutang threw the dagger to the ground.

"Indigo."

"The servant is here."

"Kill them all. Send their heads to Empress Dowager Dou's palace and Prince Anping's palace respectively, and say that the servant I found was too stupid. He can't even tell a lie. Find a smarter one to fool me next time."

Su Rutang clapped his hands.

Go back and wash up and go to bed.

The kneeling people begged for mercy.

Qing Dai didn't give them a chance to speak again. With daggers in both hands, they killed them all with one blow.

She called Huo Mi.

The two cut off their heads.

Huo Mi sent two of them directly to the Prince of Anping's mansion, saying that the Queen had issued an order to pull the Prince of Anping out of his sleep.

Prince Anping thought there was some imperial decree.

Eyes not open yet.

Huo Mi had already asked someone to put the box down, and after opening it, he threw his head directly to the ground.

"Prince Anping. The queen said that these two servants told lies in the middle of the night and disturbed the queen, so she asked you to find two smart and good lies to fool them."

Prince Anping was shocked.

"presumptuous."

"Your Highness would also say that it's presumptuous. Then why did you let the dog servant wake up the queen in the middle of the night?"

Prince Anping suppressed his anger and said, "I am talking about the insolence of these two ignorant servants. They are from the palace, not from Prince Anping's mansion."

Prince Anping insisted on refusing to admit his mistake.

Huo Mi smiled.

"Then I will tell your Majesty the truth."
