Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 200: The Army Enters the City
"Your Highness means..." Meng Huo knew that the Seventh Prince had sent people to search for someone in the capital some time ago, but he didn't expect it to be Concubine Rou.
"When Concubine Rou was attending to my father, she suddenly learned of this matter. She was entrusted by my father to escape from the palace with a request for help. I saw Concubine Rou, who was seriously injured, in Yizhou City a month ago. Concubine Rou had deep feelings for me and traveled a long distance to Yizhou to seek help, but unfortunately she herself died of a serious illness."
Seeing Meng Huo remained silent, Jinyang raised his eyelids and made a gesture.
The soldier behind him who had been prepared immediately pulled a thin man with a feminine face over.
Meng Huo had been in the palace for many years, so he could naturally tell at a glance that this man was a eunuch who had been exiled.
"Empress Rou acted cautiously. After learning about her father's situation, she did not act rashly and accidentally saved this little eunuch. The General of the Central Army might as well guess what this little eunuch saw that led to him being silenced?"
Meng Huo looked sharply at the little eunuch crawling on the ground.
The young eunuch, who was being stared at by everyone, felt a great deal of pressure and was trembling with nervousness. When he heard the eldest princess' words, he trembled and said, "I am a talented servant who used to serve in the Zhongcui Palace."
Meng Huo's heart sank, because Zhongcui Palace was exactly the palace of Concubine Yue.
"That day, I was not feeling well, so the eunuch in charge told me not to serve. But in the afternoon, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to water the flowers that the queen had ordered last night, so I hurried to the small garden. Who knew that I happened to run into the queen talking to Cuiwen..."
At this point, the eunuch's body trembled even more violently, and his voice became lower: "The Queen said... that the poison given to His Majesty should be reduced..."
There is no need to listen any further at this point, as everything that follows is obvious. Concubine Yue, who was discovered, was going to be killed to silence the witnesses, but luckily she was saved by Concubine Rou.
Although there are still many doubts and Her Royal Highness the Princess's motives are not simple, at least it is now a foregone conclusion that the Seventh Prince has poisoned His Majesty.
Seeing Meng Huo fall silent and his face turn pale, Jin Yang waved his hand, signaling the servants to take the eunuch away, and asked: "General, as long as my seventh brother has not ascended the throne, it is not the legitimate one. So is the current Tiger Guard Army your majesty's Tiger Guard Army? Or the Seventh Prince's Tiger Guard Army?"
"Of course it is your Majesty's Huben Army. The entire Huben Army is loyal to your Majesty until death." Meng Huo answered decisively without hesitation.
His answer was already expected by Jinyang.
Otherwise, he would not have become the trusted, favored, and long-lasting General of the Imperial Household. After all, her father, the Emperor, had become increasingly suspicious in his later years, and even guarded against the Crown Prince, whom he had carefully nurtured since childhood.
"In this case, I am following my father's order to come to the capital to rescue the emperor. Your Majesty's order is here. If I disobey it, it will be regarded as treason. Are you sure you want to stop me today?"
There was a chilling deterrent power in Jinyang's tone, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing through the void, making it impossible to look directly at him.
"I know what the General is worried about. I swear here that after entering the city, my army will never kill innocent people and will definitely protect my father's safety."
First the coercion, then the appeasement.
Meng Huo had nothing to say at this time. After thinking for a moment, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and rode back to the city.
"General?"
"Open the city gate!"
The people who followed Meng Huo had just heard the princess' words. Now after hearing his instructions, they knew his decision.
When the soldiers guarding the city heard Meng Huo's words, they were stunned for a long time and did not move.
"What are you doing? Open the door!"
The Huben Lang who followed Meng Huo was already annoyed, and when he saw them still standing there in an idiot state, he shouted angrily.
The soldiers guarding the city were so frightened that they hurriedly pushed open the heavy city gate.
Jinyang saw the city gate slowly opening from afar, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to signal the army to enter the city.
Zhao Yu didn't know until Jinyang's army arrived at the palace gate. He was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground and shouted, "What happened? Didn't the Tiger Guards stop her?"
Even if Jinyang had all the means, it would be impossible for him to break through the city gate in such a short time.
"It was...it was the Tiger Guards who opened the city gate and let them in."
"Meng Huo!! Zhao Ji!" Zhao Yu's face was grim and he spoke word by word with gritted teeth.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry he was, he could not stop the iron cavalry of the Black Armor Army. How could the Yulin Guards at the palace gate stop an army of 100,000? Soon, the palace walls were in a mess, the ground was stained red with blood, and corpses piled up like mountains.
Zhao Yu stood in front of the Golden Palace, watching all this, his heart filled with despair and regret.
Jinyang dismounted and looked at the disheveled Zhao Yu. She climbed the stairs step by step with an expressionless face, and the Fengyu Guards followed closely behind her.
Most of the Yulin Guards in the palace were killed by the Black Armor Army. A few of them had already dropped their weapons and were forced to kneel on the ground under the pressure of the Black Armor Army's spears.
"Zhao Ji! Haven't you always considered yourself the eldest daughter? Today you actually dared to lead the army to approach the city. This is an act of treason! The etiquette and laws of Dayan will not recognize you! The scholars of the world will not recognize you either!"
Zhao Yu has reached his wits' end and just wants to vent his inner resentment and anger. He is willing to do anything to make her unhappy.
"You are wrong, Zhao Yu. I am here on the order of my father to rescue the king." Jinyang held up the imperial edict in his hand and looked at her indifferently.
"Imperial edict?" Zhao Yu didn't understand, but he immediately reacted after a few breaths and said angrily: "It's Li Weirou! When she disappeared, I felt something was wrong. She is indeed yours!"
"Also, this is the reason why Meng Huo opened the city gate and did not offer any resistance." Zhao Yu muttered to himself in a low voice, his face grim, and then became dejected.
He understood, belatedly.
He was defeated, completely defeated, his hand loosened unconsciously, and the blood-stained sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing that he had lost his resistance, Jinyang signaled his men to arrest him.
At this point, the war that had lasted for nearly a year finally came to an end. Jinyang stood in front of the Golden Palace, walking towards the supreme throne step by step, until there was only one step left. He turned around and looked down at this strange yet familiar city, his eyes as deep as a pool of water, rippling with a trace of ripples.
From then on, no one in this world could control her or threaten her.
She wanted to make the court peaceful and the people live and work in peace, and she wanted all women in the world to no longer be oppressed, and let them walk out of the harem and live out their own lives...
People say that people who sit in that position are lonely, but she is not. She has someone she loves, and there is someone around her who always accompanies her and supports her.
