I am a cat in the palace

Although Daxian turned back into a cat at a critical moment, the successful transformation into a human is enough to cheer them up for a long time.

After a good night's sleep, they set off early the next morning. Their goal will be to point directly at the capital.

"I heard that the old ghost and King Shun also split up. It seems that we are afraid that we will be ahead."

"We must find a way to kill that old ghost this time. I don't know how many lives he has killed over the years." Thinking of this Shang Xin felt quite self-blaming.

Daxian saw his emotions, "It's all about the current situation, and it's not your fault. Don't always take the responsibility that you shouldn't bear on yourself. Do you know that the fourth son and Concubine Duan are going to cause a change in the palace?"

Shang Xin sighed softly, "Anyway, this time, I can't let it go."

"Just wait for him to come, when he comes, I will definitely tear him apart!"

Because of the detour, the itinerary was very urgent, and there were continuous battles and small battles along the way, but those troops who were sent out to stop the Yanwei army, even the so-called elite Luohe guards or the kings of the imperial army, encountered like tigers. The gate-like Yanwei army can only retreat steadily.

Soon, the Yanwei army's position had advanced a hundred miles away from the capital, and it only took fifteen days.

"The ones who are well dressed are better than the soldiers of Baiye City, but when it comes to fighting, they are not as good as those of the poor soldiers of Baiye City, not to mention Yu Guojun. They have never seen blood before. Young master soldier, you will lose your courage after two hits." Several big-headed soldiers sat around bragging together, and one of the veteran soldiers laughed at the vulnerable imperial army while gnawing on a big sheep bone.

They had just fought a battle with the forbidden army from Xishan Daying who rushed over to defend the capital, but after fighting for a while, they ran away without armor.

"The Forbidden Army is all elites transferred from various armies, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be vulnerable like this." Shang Xin stood not far away listening to their chat, frowning slightly.

"It's a bit embarrassing for them to lose." Ling Wuzheng stroked his bare chin, the little beard he managed to grow this morning was shaved off by Wei Yin, he didn't like his beard, he disliked it.

"Duan Zhenghong is cunning and wise, and he is good at forbearance. The retreat of the forbidden army seems to be tempting us to go after them directly. There are [-] forbidden troops in Beijing, and we rushed all the way. There are only more than [-] people in the battle now. In my opinion, it is better to wait for General He and General Lu to arrive before attacking the city." Shang Xin thought for a while and decided to be more conservative, and ordered everyone to camp in place and have a good rest.

But in the other direction, the second prince and King Shun traveled day and night, fearing that if they were too late, the throne would be snatched away by the third child.

"The third brother didn't attack the city? Instead, he stationed a hundred miles outside the city?" King Shun was puzzled.

"Is this waiting for us specially?" A general snorted.

"Since he is not in a hurry, he just asked us to take the lead. In my opinion, we will fight all the way to the capital." Another general said eagerly.

"Why are you so angry? Do you think Duan Zhenghong will open the gates of the city wide and invite you in?" The second prince looked at the few people who took advantage of Wei Guogong's momentum to climb up to the general position with some disgust, and looked at it [-]% in his heart. I didn't go to them, but I didn't eat them because of Wei Guogong's face.

"Your Highness, I have secretly contacted several big families in central Beijing. When we get to the city, they will cooperate with us inside and outside to find a way to open the city gate." Wei Guogong sat on the seat second only to King Shun, with a confident posture. In the same way, he waved his hand gently to signal the second prince not to worry.

"Uncle is interested. I just don't know if these aristocratic families have the ability to take down a city gate from the guard of a hundred thousand imperial guards."

The second prince's cool tone made Wei Guogong feel quite harsh, and he immediately raised his head in displeasure.

"Your Highness is still young, so I don't know how deep the background of these aristocratic families is. Once they join forces, there is no way they can't take down a mere city gate."

"Since uncle promises so much, then I can rest assured that this matter will fall on uncle. We must cooperate with the siege. We only have this little bargaining chip left in our hands. It is not as deep as those of those aristocratic families." After finishing speaking, the second prince got up and left his seat, and walked away.

In the tent, Wei Guogong glared at the back of the second prince angrily, his beard straightened with anger.

King Shun saw all the discord between the uncle and nephew, and when the second prince left and all the generals dispersed, he grabbed Wei Guogong and invited him to drink in his tent up.

"My nephew and your nephew are still young, and you have been used to being flattered since you were a child. Naturally, you are not very sophisticated, so don't be angry with him."

Wei Guogong was indeed holding back his anger. Although he knew that King Shun had no good intentions, he couldn't hold back his temper and felt unhappy, so he couldn't help complaining to King Shun.

King Shun naturally comforted him in every possible way, but at the end he changed the subject and asked, "Isn't Shang Hui resenting you for abandoning his mother?"

The second prince, Shang Hui, was brought up by the queen himself. In the eyes of outsiders, he and the queen are extremely close. Although he knew that King Shun's words were mean, Wei Guogong, who was suspicious by nature, couldn't bear it when he returned to his tent. Live and think deeply.

Although the second prince was weak and sick when he was a child, every time his uncle came to the palace to visit the queen and saw him by the way, he was still very happy and got close to him.

But when he grows up, this nephew has a lot of life with Duke Wei's mansion, and since the queen was separated in the war, the second prince and his uncle seem to be separated by thousands of layers. He cared more about him in private, but he also had a cold expression on his face, as if everything he did was superfluous.

With such a cold relationship with relatives, even if he is really promoted to the throne, how much benefit will Wei Guogong's mansion get?

The man who succeeded his father and took charge of the rise and fall of the family of Duke Wei during the war couldn't help but start to waver.

There was chaos in the palace.

Both the second prince and the third prince came with a large army, Baiye City collapsed without attacking, Luohewei was entangled and had no time to clone, the entire capital was guarded by only one hundred thousand forbidden troops, and the troops waiting outside to break the city were added. But there are more than [-] people, and the destruction of the city seems to be only a matter of days and nights.

But when everyone was in panic, there was only one person who was still indulging in peace and happiness, and seemed to be completely indifferent to the urgent war outside. He was the fourth prince who usurped the throne, the so-called new emperor who worked hard to rule.

At this moment, he was lying on the new concubine's bed enjoying the five stone powder that the people below quietly got him.

Drinking the white powder together with the hot spirits, he felt that his weak body was filled with strength immediately. He stood up and sat up suddenly, dragging the girl who was trembling in the corner of the bed to his side. Her hairpin was in disorder, her mouth was bruised and purple, and there were still wet tears on her face.

"No, Your Majesty, don't!" The girl looked terrified, and after being dragged over, she kept holding her head and screaming.

But the more she showed this frightened and weak appearance, the more excited the new emperor who had taken Wushisan became.

He grabbed the girl by the hair, forced her down on the bed, put her in a kneeling position, then lifted the robe and roughly inserted it.

Just at this moment, a cold inquiry came from the door: "What are you all kneeling here for? Where is the emperor? What time is this, and no one is there yet, and the Ai family is actually looking for it in person!"

No one answered, and there was a dead silence outside the door.

There were bursts of women's screams and men's heavy breathing in the room.

The people outside the door stood for a while, seeing that there was still movement inside, they finally couldn't hold back their anger, and rushed in, but probably still worried about the so-called emperor's last face, she just went in by herself, but didn't let the guards behind her Going in with the maid, one can imagine that the scene inside will not be so pleasing to the eye.

"Bastard, what time is it, and you're still doing this kind of thing, can't you be promising!" As soon as Concubine Duan entered the door, she immediately saw the unsightly scene on the bed. The last teacup was thrown towards the bed.

In fact, Concubine Duan kept her hand when throwing it, who knew it was such a coincidence, but at this time the Fourth Prince straightened up suddenly, so the cup that was supposed to fly over his head hit him squarely on the forehead.

The exquisite fine porcelain cup shattered into thin and sharp porcelain pieces as soon as it was hit on it, and the fourth prince's forehead was cut with several thin bloody holes. He stopped and looked towards the door.

Concubine Duan couldn't help being nervous when she saw that the emperor's head was broken by throwing a cup, but she was furious when she saw the slow reaction of the person on the bed.

"The second and third sons have already reached the gate of the imperial city, and you still have the heart to sleep with this kind of vixen here! Why did the Ai family give birth to such a useless thing like you!"

While cursing, Concubine Duan walked towards the bed, raising her hand to hit the woman who was pinned down by the Fourth Prince.

Unexpectedly, the world suddenly turned around, and the false emperor pushed the woman away, and dragged her to the bed instead, his red eyes fixed on her, and the strange light in those eyes made Concubine Duan tremble and scream: "You—what are you going to do?!"

The pseudo-emperor's sanity didn't seem to be very clear, and he stared at Concubine Duan in a daze without speaking.

Concubine Duan struggled and was about to get up, but who knew that after taking the five stone powder, the strength of the pseudo-emperor, who was not tall, became extremely strong. Pressing on Concubine Duan, his subordinates even began to tear Concubine Duan's clothes.

Concubine Duan was so frightened that she screamed and cried: "Quick! Come on, come on, the emperor is crazy, come on!"

"Bitch!" Concubine Duan screamed, and it seemed that the false emperor was even more irritated. He actually slapped Concubine Duan's face fiercely, "Don't think I don't know, don't you just like this? Last night Aren't you still being stabbed to death by that dead eunuch?"

The eunuchs and court ladies who heard the Empress Dowager yelling and rushing into the door felt their eyes went dark, and hated their legs for running too fast. They were afraid that they would die this time.
