Duanmu Yao got off the boat, looked up and looked around, this was the capital he was familiar with.

It's only been a few months since I left, but it seems like a few years have passed.

"Yu Rong, the Sixth Princess' people have already arranged a place for us, let's go there first."

"Ah."

Although he was worried about the little guy, Duanmu Yao knew that he had to keep calm at such a time.

They settled down in an unassuming private house, and a letter was delivered right away.

"That's great. The second princess has wiped out all the remnants of the state of Xue, and she has also obtained the evidence that Poppy colluded with the enemy and killed the king. The eldest princess also asked her husband, the emperor of Chu, to send an army to harass the border of Jing. , now all the enemy troops in front of Hongyan Pass have come back to aid. Five days ago, the Three Princesses asked Tian Jian to take the [-] troops from the Beiming camp back to Beijing. If there is no accident, they will be able to reach the capital tonight gone."

Qu Changlan told Duanmu Yao all these news, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's good, the foreign troubles are gone, now the only thing I worry about is the situation in the palace, once Tianjian arrives in the capital, we will immediately Enter the palace."

Poppy looked at the Zen Edict that had already been stamped with double seals, and couldn't help laughing.

"Yu Shizhong, thanks to you, otherwise I would not have known such a miracle in the world. It seems that these kings of a country are quite interesting."

He patted the angry Yu Lingbo, and said: "Since the edict has come into effect, why not waiter Yu just follow me to watch a good show?"

Poppy ordered people to escort him to the main hall, and then sent an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking them to notify the officials of the court to enter the palace one by one.

The originally quiet palace suddenly became lively, the palace lanterns around the main hall were lit, and the summoned ministers entered the palace one after another, and gathered under the eaves outside the main hall door to discuss something with each other in the night.

"Why are you recruiting people late at night..."

"Could it be that something happened to His Majesty?"

While all the officials were discussing, the door of the palace was opened, and the guard in the palace declared: "Prime Minister You invites you to enter the palace."

Poppy looked at all the officials gathered in the hall, and said: "Everyone in the court is already in the hall at this time, right? Then I will take this opportunity to announce a news, and hope that everyone will be safe and calm after listening. "

After Zhongshu Sheren received Poppy's signal, he opened a volume of edict and read it out.

"Zier Youxiang: In the past, there was Tao before heaven and earth, and then there was emperor. The sage was emperor, and he was ordered by heaven. Virtue was passed on in an orderly manner, and Yao and Shun followed each other. Today's people are happy and prosperous, but the way of the ancestors is gradually losing its ambition. , down to my bow, sleep well all night without bearing the burden. Fortunately, there is a virtuous prime minister who assists me in the emperor's way, honors and shines in the world, and gives it to one person, only inheriting the order of heaven, and granting you the position with respect. In the play! Right Xiangqin obeyed the destiny, Zhang led the group of officials, inherited the country and inherited the people, extended the glory of the emperor, and honored all nations, in order to answer the wish of the great ancestor."

As soon as the words fell, all the officials in the palace were in an uproar.

Someone asked loudly: "Prime Minister You, what is the meaning of the edict just now?"

"Gao Shilang, don't you understand the meaning of this? Your Majesty has already decided to give Zen to me."

"It's for no reason, why does His Majesty want to take the Zen seat with you?"

"Have you forgotten? Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the Imperial Medical Office is unable to recover. However, Your Majesty has no heirs and cannot let the throne hang. After careful consideration, he intends to let me inherit Guozuo."

Hearing what Poppy said, Tangxia exploded in an instant.

"This kind of thing is unprecedented!"

"Even if Your Majesty has no heirs, there is no precedent for a Zen minister!"

"Prime Minister You! This edict was handled by you alone from beginning to end. Your Majesty is not here. How can you prove that it is true?"

"Yes, the emperor must be present for such a big event as the throne of Zen. Even if His Majesty is seriously ill, we have to see him admit it with our own eyes!"

All the ministers in the palace questioned the sudden incident, Su Ying pointed to Yu Lingbo who was beside him, and said, "The jade seal on the edict was stamped by Yu Shizhong himself, and the jade seal has always been kept only by the servants under the door, how can I fake it?"

"Yu Shizhong, is this true?"

Yu Lingbo looked at the puzzled ministers and hesitated: "I... this..."

"Oh, Xiang Shaoqing, what are you doing so foolishly? Even if the seal was made by Yu Shizhong, what's the use if there is no proof from His Majesty? What if they join forces to seek rebellion and usurp the throne?"

"Since Prime Minister You refuses to allow His Majesty to testify, then this is a farce. I am sorry that I cannot accept this imperial edict. Let me leave!"

Seeing that someone was about to leave, many people got up and followed them. However, when they opened the gate, there were only rows of guards outside the gate, holding their sharp long swords to welcome them.

"This is... what's going on here? What are you trying to do?"

Officials who originally wanted to leave the hall were forced to retreat one after another.

"Prime Minister You! Are you plotting to usurp the throne!"

Su Ying looked at the panic-stricken officials below, and said with a smile: "How could that be? I have His Majesty's imperial edict for the throne, how can I plan to rebel and usurp the throne? The reason why everyone is not allowed to leave now is because the country cannot live without a day. Jun, I will go to the succession ceremony at dawn, and I still need all of you present to be witnesses."

After Poppy asked about Yuxi's whereabouts and left, Li Luosu took out the bow and arrows he had prepared earlier.

The three rusty arrowheads had been sharpened by him, and the bow body had been wiped clean.

Li Luosu untied the hair rope that had been used to tie his hair, and used it to replace the bowstring, which was full of bows.

It was tied by Duanmuyao himself on his 11th birthday. He stroked the tight lines on the rope carefully, and remembered the fireworks accompanied by snowflakes he had seen that day.

"Teacher, when I see you, let's watch the fireworks together."

Li Luosu picked up the bow and arrow, endured the pain all over his body, and stopped at a place twenty steps away from the gate of the cold palace.

He took a deep breath, pointed his bow and arrow at the door, and then shouted: "Come here! I have something important to see Prime Minister You, so don't regret it if you miss the time!"

In this way, he shouted three times in a row, and the palace gate was finally opened.

"What are you talking about..."

As soon as the soldier guarding the gate stepped into the threshold, he saw an arrow flying towards him, and then fell down outside the door with a bang. After another soldier reacted, he rushed in hastily.

After Li Luosu shot an arrow, enduring the strong throbbing pain in his arm, he quickly shot the arrow again, and shot at the second soldier who rushed in.

This time, he was hit in the left eye ten steps away, and the soldier fell to the ground struggling non-stop. Li Luosu walked over slowly, picked up his long sword and stabbed hard at his heart.

The opponent's blood flowed all over the place, staining the corner of his clothes red.Seeing that the soldier stopped struggling, Li Luosu let go of the hilt of his sword and stepped aside.

Although he had a bad temper and was mischievous when he was a child, he never hurt anyone, and his hunting and archery only targeted wild animals. Even if he became emperor after succeeding to the throne, he never exercised the power of life and death.

Now, he finally really killed someone, he didn't know if this is what the emperor must go through, because Duanmu Yao didn't teach him this thing.

He covered his face with his trembling right hand and managed to calm down.

The most important thing now is to escape, other things are not important.

Li Luosu told himself this in his heart, and walked quietly towards the gate of the cold palace. He probed to look outside the palace gate. This place was remote, but he didn't expect that there were really no other people except the two soldiers.

He leaned against the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered where to go next.

"...Anyway, go to Huyuan first, and play by ear after you rescue Xiaobai."

Li Luosu knew that his weapons and physical condition were not optimistic. It would be very difficult to escape the palace alone. He could easily encounter patrolling soldiers on the palace road, but if there was a white tiger around, he could scare them.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the East Palace.

Originally, he was prepared to be discovered at any time, but the strange thing was that he didn't meet a single person along the way.

Li Luosu thought, even if he took a special path to avoid being discovered, he wouldn't miss even a court lady and eunuch, let alone those soldiers patrolling everywhere.

"But that's fine too, it's easier for me to escape without anyone around..."

He accelerated his forward speed, but stopped when he was about to reach the East Palace.

Sure enough, there are guards here...

Although there were only two soldiers guarding the gate of the East Palace now, Li Luosu looked at his waist, and there was only the last arrow pinned there.

One arrow can't solve two people at all.

Just when he was anxious and didn't know what to do, he suddenly noticed someone walking over from the palace road in the distance, and he could vaguely see that he was still wearing an official uniform.

Li Luosu came up with a plan and walked around behind the man.

Tu Muxiang entered the palace after receiving the summoning news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Just as he was about to sneak into the main hall, he heard Zhongshusheren's proclamation. However, what he did not expect was that the Chan When it was not Tu Shenshui's name that was written in the imperial edict, but Poppy herself, he knew that something was wrong.

So he quickly stopped his footsteps and left the hall in a hurry.

He was going to find his brother and tell him about it.

Just as Tu Muxiang walked to the palace road near the East Palace, she was suddenly attacked from behind.

He felt a rope strangling his neck, and it became more difficult to breathe, so he struggled.

Li Luosu originally wanted to strangle the man with a bowstring, and then change into an official uniform and sneak into the East Palace, but the man begged for mercy.

"No matter who you are... please let me go... I still... find someone to save His Majesty..."

save me?

Li Luosu was taken aback, and hurriedly let go of the man, and he breathed a sigh of relief after turning his face to see clearly.

"Aren't you that good friend of Qingtai? Why are you here?"

Tu Muxiang kept coughing, and when she heard the voice, she looked up and was very surprised: "...Your Majesty? You are not..."

Li Luosu hurriedly stopped him, took him to a hidden place, and said: "I escaped from the cold palace, by the way, you said just now that you need someone to save me, what happened?"

Tu Muxiang remembered what happened in the hall, so she hurriedly told him.

"It's no wonder that I didn't meet any forbidden soldiers along the way. They were all transferred to the main hall. This poppy is really disgusting... cough cough!"

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Li Luosu shook his head and said to him, "I'm going to the main hall to stop him, but I have to release the white tiger first."

Tu Muxiang thought about Yu Lingbo who was still detained in the hall, and said, "Your Majesty, let me lure those two guards away for you."

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the East Palace before Li Luosu could answer.

"Stop, who?"

Tu Muxiang stood there, lowered her voice and said: "Prime Minister You has an order that all soldiers of the Imperial Army must stand guard outside the main hall gate tonight. Why are you still fishing in troubled waters here?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, they had not heard of the incident.

"Do you want me to use the general badge to invite you to go!"

Tu Muxiang flicked his sleeves, revealing the token around his waist.

A soldier recognized that it was the sign of General Zuo's Mansion, and hurriedly dragged another person towards the main hall.

Watching the two guards leave, Li Luosu walked into the East Palace with Tu Muxiang's support.

The author has something to say:

Tu Muxiang: I think my acting skills are getting better and better_(:D」∠)_

Little Peony: Qingtai, your wife is awesome!

Yu Lingbo: ...Your Majesty, you? ? ? (Hold my little Qili tightly)
