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

Cui Shuyan was overjoyed and immediately opened her eyes and responded: "I'm here!"

However, what responded to her were the puzzled looks from Emperor Zhaowu and Shi Liu.

"Are you having a nightmare?" asked Emperor Zhaowu.

Cui Shuyan shook her head: "No, it was a beautiful dream. I dreamed that my prince came to see me."

"Oh, that was really a beautiful dream." After saying that, Emperor Zhaowu began to pick his fingers again.

Originally, Cui Shuyan also planned to pick her fingers to pass the time, but after watching Emperor Zhaowu pick the nails of all ten fingers until they were bald and looked so ugly, she completely gave up the idea.

Just as she was thinking about how to pass the time, she heard Xie Xingyuan's voice again: "Shuyan!"

Cui Shuyan was so excited that she immediately stood up and jumped back, "I'm here!"

Emperor Zhaowu frowned and asked, "What are you calling me?"

Cui Shuyan was so excited: "Your Majesty, I heard the voice of my prince. This time it's real! It's not a dream!"

"Princess Xie, you must be dreaming again. You should calm down..." However, just as he said this, he heard Xie Xingyuan's voice.

This time, it was clear.

Instantly, Emperor Zhaowu was overjoyed: "Thank you, my dear minister. I am here!"

She looked even more excited than Cui Shuyan.

Seeing Cui Shuyan looking at him, Emperor Zhaowu felt a little embarrassed: "I was infected by your emotions."

Finally, from across the wall, Xie Xingyuan's urgent voice called out, "Shuyan! Is that you?"

"It's me!" Cui Shuyan pressed her hand on the door in front of her, extremely excited.

She turned to Emperor Zhaowu and asked, "Your Majesty, please open the door of the secret room!"

Emperor Zhaowu nodded in agreement and immediately pressed the button on the wall.

However, he knocked several times and the door of the secret room did not move at all.

Emperor Zhaowu touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "It's useless for a long time. It's probably useless now."

For a moment, Cui Shuyan didn't know what to say, so she had to tell Xie Xingyuan loudly about the situation in the secret room through the door.

"Okay, you guys step back!"

Xie Xingyuan's solid and powerful voice came from outside.

Cui Shuyan did as she was told immediately.

Emperor Zhaowu frowned and said, "This door cannot be opened from the outside. When I built this secret room, I specifically instructed that this door must not be opened from the outside, otherwise it would be unsafe..."

However, before Emperor Zhaowu could finish his words, there was a loud bang and the door of the secret room fell down.

For a moment, Emperor Zhaowu was dumbfounded.

This is really... carelessness.

The button doesn't work. I didn't expect that the function that was originally set to not be able to be opened from the outside would also be invalid. This is great, but also so embarrassing o(╯□╰)o

Cui Shuyan didn’t care what Emperor Zhaowu was thinking at the moment.

Because she was looking at her hero, walking towards her against the light.

His figure is so tall and majestic.

With just one look, all the fear and anxiety in her heart disappeared.

In an instant, Xie Xingyuan was in front of her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

He used great strength, as if he was hugging a treasure that had been lost and found again.

"I'm really scared..."

He didn't say the rest.

No one knew how panicked he was when he learned that there was trouble in the palace and Cui Shuyan happened to be in the palace.

At this moment, his beloved baby was in his arms, and his heart finally settled down.

But at this moment, the deep voice of Emperor Zhaowu was heard: "Thank you, my dear minister, for also caring about my life or death."

Xie Xingyuan sneered and let go of Cui Shuyan, but held her hand instead. He then bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the guilty woman?"

"After I led my men into the palace, she took advantage of the chaos to escape and is now missing. I have ordered people to close the city gates and conduct a thorough search. I believe we will soon be able to find her whereabouts."

"Well, you did a good job."

As they were talking, several people walked out of the secret room.

After leaving the secret room, Emperor Zhaowu wanted to walk out of the bedroom to see what was happening outside, but was stopped by Xie Xingyuan.

"What?" Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, there was a tough battle in the palace last night, and it has not been cleaned up yet."

Emperor Zhaowu stared at the dried blood on Xie Xingyuan's body and face and nodded slightly: "I understand."

Historically, among all the palace coups, the rebellion caused by the imperial guards was the most tragic.

These imperial guards are in the palace all year round. They know how to protect the palace, but they also know what to do to bring the heaviest destruction to the palace.

This destruction is naturally accompanied by blood and death.

Emperor Zhaowu still walked out.

Although he had anticipated this, Emperor Zhaowu still felt horrified when he saw the tragic situation outside.

His life was relatively smooth. Even though some of his brothers were restless after he ascended the throne, there was never such a bloody incident.

But now, what he saw before his eyes was the blinding red, the horrifying smell of blood, and the chilling breath of death.

Xie Xingyuan's men were already cleaning up the bodies.

Dead bodies were constantly being dragged onto the blood-soaked cart, dripping with blood and squeak-ing away.

Cui Shuyan's eyes had already been covered by Xie Xingyuan's hands.

She was also very obedient. She didn't go to look deliberately, but just asked anxiously about the situation of Princess Heshuo.

"She is staying in her own palace. She is frightened and a little emotionally unstable. My brother is accompanying her now."

"Where are the children?"

"In the secret room of the mansion, everything is safe and sound."

"The Queen! Where is the Queen?"

"I don't know where the Empress was hidden by Concubine Xian. We are looking for her now, but we haven't found her yet."

Emperor Zhaowu ordered sternly: "Search! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find the queen!"

The Queen is the mother of a country and there must be no problems with her.

Xie Xingyuan still had things to do, but he still took time out to personally send Cui Shuyan to Princess Heshuo's palace.

When Luo Jinyu saw Cui Shuyan, his eyes were already red.

Cui Shuyan approached and was about to say something to comfort him, but she saw his bloody hands: "Brother, your hands..."

"I touched it accidentally, it's okay." As he said that, Luo Jinyu hid his hands behind his back.

At the side, Luo Jinyu's personal servant said, "The prince consort found some disturbed soil in Concubine Xian's palace. He couldn't find any tools, so he dug it out with his hands."

"It doesn't matter. Yanyan is not afraid, everything is fine now." As he said that, Luo Jinyu smiled, but his smile was filled with tears.

At that time, he peeled it off again and again, really worried that Cui Shuyan might be inside.

Fortunately, no.

Cui Shuyan hurriedly advised him: "Brother, don't be like this, don't be like this, I'm fine, I'm really fine."

As she said these words, she couldn't help but shed tears.

They are all okay, which is great.

This is truly surviving a catastrophe.

"Where is my sister-in-law?" Cui Shuyan asked, trying her best to control her emotions.

"You protected her, but you yourself were in danger. When things got chaotic, she couldn't find you. She felt that she had caused you so much pain. She was so emotional that she fainted several times in succession. Now she has taken a tranquilizer and has just fallen asleep..."

However, before Luo Jinyu finished her words, she heard Princess Heshuo's sorrowful and desperate cry from the inner hall: "Shuyan!"

After that, there was the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Cui Shuyan thought to herself that something was wrong and strode into the inner hall!
