The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

when!

He swung his sword diagonally to block Zhishu's falling knife.

Zhishu was about to stab again, but a cold light came over her and she was forced to roll to avoid it.

The Queen Mother was rescued.

Two guards rushed forward, grabbed the empress dowager whose chest was bleeding, and hurriedly ran out of the palace.

The Queen Mother staggered and screamed in pain from her wounds, but she knew she had to escape, so she tried her best to keep up with the two men without moving.

She had been stabbed in the chest, and although it didn't seem to have injured her heart, it was surprising that she was still able to run.

"Queen Mother, wait for this old slave..."

Nanny Shixiang crawled and caught up.

Next was Zheng Zhuyi, limping along with a cane, following closely behind.

Yu Sujin looked at the emperor.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the fleeing empress dowager with a cold, silent gaze. In front of him, a team of archers knelt on one knee, ready to fire, but the empress dowager had already fled several feet away, with no crowd to hide behind her, and the emperor still didn't order the arrows to be fired.

"Noble Concubine! Noble Concubine Zheng..." Yu Sujin called Zheng Zhuyi.

Zheng Zhuyi turned around, glared at her fiercely, then turned around and continued to run.

Yu Sujin looked at the emperor again.

Look at Zheng Zhuyi and the Queen Mother again.

Hesitate for a moment.

He gritted his teeth and ran after him.

"Your Majesty, wait for me! Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please don't abandon me!"

Zhishu chased after them with a knife in hand: "Don't leave! You traitorous beasts, you must keep your lives!"

But he was stopped by the guards loyal to the Queen Mother.

Zhishu tried several times to break through the blockade but failed, and was almost injured. She had to retreat in disappointment and stand in a safe area.

She cursed loudly at the backs of the fleeing people: "Queen Dowager, you will not die a good death! Zheng Zhuyi, you will bring your entire family to be executed! And Yu Sujin, don't you think about your father and sister? You beasts will all go to the eighteen levels of hell!"

Those people didn't even look back and fled quickly under the protection of the guards.

The group of guards who stayed behind to cover the rear were surrounded and killed one after another by the people brought by the emperor after a fierce battle.

More than a dozen bodies lay on the road.

The concubines in Fengyi Palace were so frightened that they dared not go out. Even the calmest Concubine Qing just stood at the door with her eyes lowered, clasped her hands and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

The Tartar soldiers have retreated completely.

The sound of artillery fire in the city became more and more frequent, making people feel panicked.

In the chaos, Zhishu threw away the knife, rushed to the emperor, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, may you be well! Although the Queen Mother is guilty, I have no right to go beyond the law and punish her first. I know I was wrong. I have wanted to stop her since she started the rebellion, but I never found the opportunity to do it. Therefore, I am suspected of being an accomplice of the rebels. The assassination attempt just now was unsuccessful, so I do not ask for your Majesty's forgiveness. I only hope that your Majesty will quickly eliminate the traitors and seek justice for those who died today. I have no regrets even if I am guilty! Long live your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Zhishu, whose face was full of sincerity and indignation, and was somewhat moved.

He only asked, "You've been following the Queen Mother all this time, just because of that stab just now?"

Zhishu kowtowed, "Indeed. But I have no witnesses, no evidence to prove my loyalty. If your Majesty punishes me, I will gladly accept it."

"Get up and go to Concubine Qing."

This means forgiving her.

Zhishu kowtowed again, turned around and walked to Concubine Qing, who held her hand and said, "Ying Ronghua, you are very brave."

"When the ladies were targeted by the Queen Mother, I was unable to do my best, and I feel deeply ashamed."

"Since you are dormant, you cannot act rashly. We all understand this." Concubine Qing comforted her gently.

Zhishu said bitterly, "I can only blame myself for not being as skilled in martial arts as Concubine Hui, so I didn't kill the old woman with one blow!"

Concubine Qing looked at the emperor standing quietly on the other side of the road, as if thinking about something.

Then he turned his head and smiled at Zhishu kindly, "Don't blame yourself. The Queen Mother has been immersed in politics for many years, so she always keeps some loyal guards around her. These people were scattered around the palace before, and it's her ability to gather them together. But don't worry, even if she escapes from the palace, she won't be able to get far. She will be caught."

……

"Queen Mother, where should we go? It's so chaotic outside..."

Nanny Shixiang followed the Empress Dowager closely, looking extremely flustered.

Zheng Zhuyi scolded: "Stupid, of course we should find a pharmacy first and bandage the Queen Mother with medicine!"

The Queen Mother ran all the way and was almost on the verge of coma.

He glanced at Zheng Zhuyi approvingly and said weakly, "Do as she says."

At this time, there were only six guards left around them, and in the city, the Liang army and the Tatar soldiers were fighting everywhere, and it was dangerous everywhere.

The only thing they were thankful for was that the emperor was short-handed and the palace was in chaos, so there were no pursuers.

The two guards found a broken plank and placed the Empress Dowager on it, dragging her along. They finally managed to move forward a bit faster. They navigated the alleys, dodging both the Liang army and the Tartars, and in the chaos, they finally found a pharmacy.

There was no one inside, so they broke in and rummaged around, finally finding some medicine and bandages to stop the bleeding.

The Queen Mother had already lost a lot of blood, her face was as pale as paper, and she was barely breathing. She lay on the ground and let the imperial guards treat her wounds. At this time, the distinction between men and women was no longer important.

The imperial guards' technique was rough, and in their panic, they caused the empress dowager to faint from the pain.

Nanny Shixiang pinched her philtrum to wake her up, tears streaming down her face. "Empress Dowager, please don't let anything happen to you. I would rather give my life to you, get injured in your place, and die in your place! Just hold on a little longer, and I'll go find a few imperial physicians and force them to treat you. Send a guard to accompany me and threaten them!"

The Queen Mother opened and closed her lips weakly to stop the old servant.

"No, you stay and let...let them go and find..."

The Queen Mother gave two names and locations and sent two guards to make contact.

Tohka was stunned. "Are they going to find a reliable doctor? Is his medical skills better than the imperial physician?"

The Queen Mother pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty.

There was a hint of satisfaction in his cloudy eyes.

"Yes... someone who can escort us... out of the city. Let's not look for a doctor. Now, let's get out of the city first, and then, we can plan for the future..."

"I understand. The Queen Mother is wise!"

Madam Shixiang pulled a few ginseng slices from her purse and handed them to the two imperial guards who were about to go out to make contact. "Eat this to refresh your spirits. We don't have anything to eat right now, so you must cheer up. Once we're out of the city and find a safe place, we can have a good meal in peace!"

The guard ate the ginseng slices and left in a hurry.

Nanny Shixiang also stuffed a piece of ginseng into the empress dowager's mouth and told her not to sleep and to be more alert.

Zheng Zhuyi said, "My leg injury is also very uncomfortable. Give me one pill."

Madam Shixiang covered her purse and refused to give it to him: "There's not much left. We have to save it for the Queen Mother."

Zheng Zhuyi looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother half-closed her eyes, pretending not to see her pleading gaze. She chewed the food twice with difficulty, squeezing out a little juice and swallowing it.

Tohka dropped her eyes.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the two guards left the house, they felt dizzy and fell down.

Unconscious on the street.
