I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan wanted to pick up the sword that Concubine Xian had dropped, but Emperor Zhaowu grabbed it first: "I'll do it!"

At this moment, Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were wide open, holding a sharp sword, looking at the approaching imperial guards with a stern face, and he said sternly: "Come on, I want to see who dares to touch me!"

Cui Shuyan immediately added: "You dare to commit regicide. Aren't you afraid that the new emperor will be wary of you in the future? No matter what, your majesty is also the father of the Sixth Prince. If he settles the vengeance of patricide in the future, can you escape?"

Consort Xian also hurriedly said: "His Highness the Sixth Prince is a kind-hearted person and will definitely treat you well..."

Before Concubine Xian could finish her words, Cui Shuyan stuffed something into her mouth.

Afterwards, Cui Shuyan looked at Emperor Zhaowu and whispered, "Your Majesty, these people have lost their minds now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince them. Don't you have secret guards around you who are loyal enough?"

Emperor Zhaowu's lips curved slightly: "Of course there are. Where are the Dragon Guards?"

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu finished speaking, Cui Shuyan felt a darkness before her eyes, and then she saw a row of men in black in front of her.

But, there are only four.

She turned and looked at Emperor Zhaowu with a questioning look.

There are so few people, what are we going to do?

Emperor Zhaowu was also confused and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

One of them responded, "Your Majesty, someone tried to seize the imperial seal in the Qinzheng Palace, so we sent some people over there."

"Protect the emperor." Emperor Zhaowu said in a deep voice.

Cui Shuyan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. There are only four people. Can they protect them?

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu said, "Thank you, Princess. Did you see the second box beside the bed?"

"I saw it."

"Open the box and press the red gem on the side hard."

After hearing this, Cui Shuyan finally understood that there was a secret room.

Sure enough, after the red gem was pressed, there was a loud bang and the antique display shelf on the wall suddenly opened, revealing a secret door.

At this time, the Imperial Guards had already started fighting with the four Dragon Guards.

Although the Dragon Guards are all highly skilled, they are not at an advantage in terms of numbers.

It could only buy some breathing space for Emperor Zhaowu.

Cui Shuyan took a step forward and stood in front of Emperor Zhaowu: "Your Majesty, please step back first."

Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyebrows: "I am a man!"

"Then, let's go together!" After saying that, Cui Shuyan pulled Emperor Zhaowu and quickly hid in the secret room.

Shi Liu dragged Concubine Xian and came in one step later.

However, just as she was about to come in, Concubine Xian suddenly resisted madly, and coincidentally, a braver imperial guard rushed forward.

Seeing that the sword in the hand of the imperial guard was about to pierce Shi Liu's head, Cui Shuyan pulled Shi Liu, but the imperial guard was not a pushover and grabbed Concubine Xian.

In this way, the door of the secret room cannot be closed.

It would be disadvantageous for them if they continue to drag it on like this.

At the critical moment, Cui Shuyan made a prompt decision: "Shi Liu, let go!"

Shi Liu understood what he meant and pushed Concubine Xian forward suddenly. Then, taking advantage of this short period of time, he quickly stepped back and closed the door of the secret room as quickly as possible.

As the door of the secret room slammed shut, Cui Shuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, she observed the secret room and found that it was quite spacious.

But, there was nothing to eat.

Cui Shuyan was a little unwilling to give up, and asked Emperor Zhaowu: "Your Majesty, is there no food in here?"

After all, we don’t know how long we will have to stay in this secret room.

Since we have set up a secret room, we should at least put some food and daily necessities in it.

For a moment, Emperor Zhaowu's face looked a little unhappy: "It's me who was slack."

When he first ascended the throne, the throne was not very stable and the secret room was used frequently. Naturally, he would often prepare food in the secret room at that time.

After that, there were no troubles for many years, so people started to slack off.

"The Dragon Guards are still outside. After I come in, they probably won't want to fight. In this case, this chaos won't last long."

Cui Shuyan was not so optimistic. After looking around the secret room, she asked, "Your Majesty, where is the vent of this secret room? Is it hidden enough?"

"It is well hidden. But if there is a big search, I am afraid it will be impossible to escape." Emperor Zhaowu changed the subject and asked, "Where is Lord Xie?"

Cui Shuyan told the truth: "Your Majesty, I have been accompanying the princess in the palace today to look up medical books. I did not see my prince when I returned home. However, Concubine Xian just said that she did not find anyone at Prince Xie's mansion. I think my prince must have planned this in advance."

Although the situation was critical at the moment, when Cui Shuyan thought of Xie Xingyuan, she inexplicably became less anxious.

She guessed that Xie Xingyuan was afraid of scaring her, so he must have informed Mr. Wen in advance.

As for himself, he should have gone to the outskirts of Beijing to mobilize troops.

The reason why no one was arranged around her was probably because they did not expect Concubine Xian to suddenly take action. Moreover, at this time in the past, she should be in the mansion, not in the palace.

"Prince Xie has always been reliable. I trust him."

When Cui Shuyan heard Emperor Zhaowu say this out of the blue, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her head.

If he really believed it, Emperor Zhaowu would not have to say such a thing.

Unless he himself has doubts.

After all, if you sit on the emperor's throne for too long, everyone you see will become suspicious.

Now Xie Xingyuan has the power to mobilize troops, and he was previously an unconscious emperor. Under such circumstances, to a certain extent, it is possible for Xie Xingyuan to make any prince the emperor, as long as he wants.

In this way, he would be considered as a dragon follower and his status would be more respected.

Even if he wanted to sit on the throne himself, that was not impossible, but he would have to endure some infamy.

But her appearance here today by accident could, to a certain extent, dispel Emperor Zhaowu's suspicion of Xie Xingyuan.

She is Princess Xie. If Xie Xingyuan had any ill intentions, he would not have let her into the palace.

But, the prerequisite is that the relationship between her and Xie Xingyuan is good enough.

Otherwise, if she and Xie Xingyuan had a bad relationship, then Xie Xingyuan would not care whether she was dead or alive.

Just as Cui Shuyan was thinking about this, she heard Emperor Zhaowu ask, "Speaking of which, you two have been married for a long time, but I have never asked you about your relationship."

Cui Shuyan knew what Emperor Zhaowu was thinking and what he wanted to hear, so she lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, the prince treats me very well."

"That's good." Emperor Zhaowu said this indifferently.

Because she was worried about Xie Xingyuan, Cui Shuyan didn't bother to guess what Emperor Zhaowu was thinking. After taking her leave, she sat down in a corner.

Pomegranate followed closely beside him.

Emperor Zhaowu, who was left alone, probably felt that it was boring, so he asked Cui Shuyan again: "What happened in and outside the uterus recently? Tell me about it."

Cui Shuyan roughly recounted what she knew, and after listening, Emperor Zhaowu was so angry that he rolled his eyes...
