Chapter 52: sway in the wind

The autumn sun is warm in the afternoon.
But I was too busy to cope with Xiaoxiao's toss.
God knows where she is so energetic, she does n’t have a moment from day to night, it is harder than those stubborn courtiers.
Fortunately Cheer was a quiet baby, not as naughty as his sister.
He was lying in the arms of his grandmother at this moment, sleeping very sweetly, sleeping like a white lotus, no one could bear to be disturbed when he saw it.
It was so easy to coax Xiaoxiao to sleep and put her into Aunt Xu's hands, and I was exhausted.
Leaning on the soft couch, looking at the battle report returned by North Xinjiang, Fang saw the two lines and felt sleepy, and gradually fell asleep ... In the dimness, someone whispered outside the curtain, Aunt Xu answered in a low voice What happened.
I was too lazy to respond and slept sideways inward.
Suddenly I heard Aunt Xu whispered, "What! Why don't you come early?"
The drowsiness suddenly dissipated. I held my body up and frowned, "What's the noise outside?"
Aunt Xu hurried to the bedside, separated the veil, and whispered, "Return to the princess, Pang Tong led the people to report, only to find out that there is a token out of the palace ... I'm afraid it was stolen."
There was a big shock in my heart, and I darted to shake off the vertical veil. "When will it happen?"
"The theft should be in the early morning." Aunt Xu suddenly said, "The details are unclear, and the slaves then passed on to the house to ask questions."
"It's too late." I said coldly, "Immediately pass the order, order the Iron Guardian Pegasus out of the city, and chase along the east and north. Be sure to recover the fugitives before midnight tonight. In case of resistance, kill them in place. Never allow anyone to miss the net! "
Aunt Xu exuded cold sweat on her forehead, "Slave understands."
"The palace was closed immediately, and all the inner guards who were on duty last night were taken into custody. It was said that Song Xiang and Pang Tong came to see me!" I hurriedly put on my robe and called Ayue to dress and change clothes for me, and prepared to drive into the palace.
Sitting in front of the mirror, I noticed that cold sweat had leaked from my forehead.
Pang Gui, the deputy commander of the palace forbidden army, has been my confidant for many years, and he has secretly controlled every move of the palace. The token may seem trivial, but once someone makes a mess, the embankment of thousands of miles will collapse in the anthill.
At this time, the army commander drove straight into the northern Xinjiang desert. It was during the emptiness of central Beijing. If there was chaos in the rear, he would be trapped in the stomach by the enemy.
In the mirror, his face was pale and abnormal, and the rosy rouge on his lips was like covering a layer of frost.
Boots screamed outside the door, Song Huai'en has arrived, I turned around and put on the wind and greeted the door.
"Subordinates see the princess." Song Huai-rong, wearing a sword, was dignified and determined.
In the direction of the Chengdong Barracks in the distance, a thick cyan smoke rose and rushed into the sky.
It was a smoke message to alert the police along the way.
Song Huaien followed the sword, "Subordinates have issued a smoke message, sent a Pegasus order, and closed the pass along the way."
"Very good." I looked up at the blue pillar of smoke and slowly said, "According to the distance, they can't reach Linliangguan all the time. Tieyiwei has been chasing out of the city, and he will be surrounded before and after. . "
"May I need to stay alive?" Song Huaien asked in a deep voice.
"That's it. It doesn't matter if you live or not." I said lightly. "East is just the strength of a praying arm, but the north can't afford to lose it. Can you make a good plan?"
Song Huai'en bowed his head, "East County Tun Shou has less than 20,000 troops. I have deployed defense along the way. Gyeonggi is surrounded by soldiers, as strong as an iron wall, and the princess need not worry. Even if there is a great skill in the north, I cannot forgive him.
I frowned, "How can civil strife start before the two armies, and the news cannot be leaked anyway."
"The princess is assured, Tieyiwei has acted, and has not missed yet." Song Huai'en looked at Shen Yi, and his murderousness appeared. "Since the arrow has left the string, there is no way back, I hope the princess will make a decision early!"
His eyes touched me.
At such a close distance, I could almost see the blue veins on his forehead due to his excitement.
Decision, these two words blurted easily, but it is a reversal in life.
How many decisions have been made in the past ten years, either on the cusp or retreating to the bottomless abyss, there has never been a way to compromise.
One take, one shed, lost, is a lifetime.
The wind rises, the court is full of confusion.
I tightened Fengfeng, looked up, and looked in the direction of Miyagi.
Zi, are you going to fight with me after all?
The red sun was sinking to the west and the dusk was approaching.
Outside the palace gate, three thousand iron riders lined up the road.
Song Huaien took the lead and entered the palace gate with a sword.
I lifted my hood and lowered my hood to cover my face. Zema followed behind him, and the two riders walked side by side with me.
At this moment, I was wearing a riding suit, and covered my appearance with wind. I followed her incognito, and quietly entered the palace.
Under the wall of Zhumadong Palace, looking back at the sky, the whole capital is surrounded by a solemn golden color.
The city gates on all sides of Gyeonggi have been closed to martial law, and the deputy commander of the embargo Pang Gui led his troops to round up Hu's gates.
In front of the Qianyuan Hall, Heiya was kneeling on the ground. Dozens of housekeepers stood with swords in front of the hall door.
The housekeeper was leaping forward, "The emperor is in the palace. The old slave was ordered to guard the palace door and did not dare to make a step."
Song Huaien nodded his head, I nodded a little, and went up to the jade steps in front of the palace.
In the deep shadows of the temple, Zi Xiu Yi Yu crown, sitting lonely in the middle of the throne, staring coldly at the door.
I stepped into the hall with Song Huaien, and the last rays of light cast our shadows on the ground, overlapping with the jade brick and dragon.
"You are here."
Zixi's indifferent voice echoed in the temple.
"The court guard came late and hoped the emperor would forgive him!" Song Huai'en stepped forward with his sword, kneeling on one knee.
I bow my head and bend my knees, kneeling silently behind Song Huaien, hiding my face in the shadow of the hood.
"Escort?" Ziyi sneered sneerly, "I am so stupid, how enough to shock Song Xiang into the palace."
Song Huaien said with a blank expression, "Hu's conspiracy, the queen pretended to bully the monarch, and the emperor served the queen's decree, escorted to the palace, and cleared the palace."
Ziyi smiled slightly, his voice was bleak, and it seemed to have been expected at this moment, "This matter has nothing to do with the queen, why bother with innocent people. Knowing that you can't do anything, I have already treated you and waited for a long time."
He sighed, as if he was finally relieved, and slowly got up from the throne. "That is the queen queen's purpose, then I will work for you, and tell the queen queen on my behalf-"
The word "queen queen", he said repeatedly, the meaning is full of 讥 诮, "朕 finally managed to her, I wonder if she can be happy?"
Song Huaien was silent for a moment, took Huang Shushu out of his sleeve, and offered it with both hands. "The minister is dull, only knows that he is instructed to act and is afraid to spread the divine will. After the dismissal, the emperor will stamp the Imperial Seal to immediately calm the rebellion of the Central Palace. "
Ziyi fisted, his face pale as paper, "I bear it all alone, so I don't need to involve others!"
Song Huaien said coldly, "Hu's rebellion, the evidence is like a mountain, and the emperor hopes to see it."
"This matter has nothing to do with Hu's family." Zixi trembled slightly. "I have left you to deal with it, why bother a weak female stream?"
"Don't dare." Song Huai'en sounded like ice.
Zi Xuan supported the throne, and hated, "You guys, really kill everything, even the women and children!"
Song Huai'en finally became impatient, Huo Ran stood up with his sword, "Please the emperor stamp the royal seal!"
"Don't want me to give this order." Ziyi leaned on the throne, glaring at each other, but trembling, seemingly out of strength.
Song Huai'en was furious and suddenly took a step forward.
"Emperor." I got up and lifted my hood.
Ziyu was shocked, his head was on the side, facing me.
His gaze went straight into my heart.
Between the two, but three feet apart, they have separated the grievances of a lifetime.
I slowly walked towards him, every step seemed to step on the blade.
"Are you going to do it yourself?" He smiled, his pale face revealing the dead gray, he shook his body, fell back to the throne, his bloodless lips moved, and he couldn't speak.
I was silent, letting his eyes and his smile silently lash me.
"The emperor, please look over." I took Song Huaien's book in hand, and slowly unfolded in front of Zi Xi.
"This is a posthumous obituary, and it has no intention of giving death." I restrained every expression on my face and restrained my voice, only to let him see my coldest look. Only one cup of poison is needed. Hu's conspiracy rebelled according to the law and exterminated the clans. Only by abandoning her in the Cold Palace can she save her life. "
I looked at Ziyu, "Emperor, Chen Yi can do more than that."
Ziyu closed her eyes, and she seemed reluctant to look at me again, "My life is taken away, let her and the child go."
He has determined that I will use this to provoke trouble, cut off the roots, and wipe out all his loved ones.
"Having made the decision to let go, he had the worst plan to take care of everything." He closed his eyes and raised his lips with a smirk.
I looked at him, full of sorrow and sadness, "You really want to protect the Hu family, why bother pushing them to the knife?"
Once things fail, the Hu family will be the first to be killed. However, he still puts the entire Hu family into this hopeless gamble, even if there is his wife and his unborn child.
After all, he did what an emperor should do, but unfortunately, it was too late.
"You said I never fought for it," he said suddenly, tired. "Now I fight, but what?"
I clenched the stack of books, but couldn't answer his words.
Even if it is not today, Hu can't escape the disaster; even without jade seal, I will do the same.
Zi, the fault is not with you or me, but only in this troubled world.
"Chen, Tie Yiwei leads Wei Han to return to the palace!"
A sound like iron came from outside the hall, piercing the dead silence, and the stale ice broke suddenly.
Zizhang stared straight out of the door of the temple, his thin lips trembling slightly, his eyes full of despair.
Wei Han pressed his sword to the temple, wearing a black suit, acting fast like a leopard, covering his iron armor, showing only a pair of sharp eyes.
He knelt down on one knee with his hands in a blood-stained apricot and phoenix silk robe, which was an undershirt that the queen could wear.
Song Huai'en took the blood robe and shook it openly.
The silk robe has been stained with blood, but it is still clearly visible. The clothes are full of handwriting, and the brushstrokes are delicate and elegant.
This is Hu Yao's clothes, the words of Ziyi, and the red jade seal is covered under the lapel.
Writing the secret key on the queen's jacket, worn by the palace prince, escaped the palace gate, and fled out of the palace all the way, and then took them to the northern Xinjiang and Dongjun, asking Hu for help. In addition to the northern Xinjiang, there are 100,000 Hu Guanglie members, and the East County Shangtun has 30,000 old Hu members. This is a risky move, desperately desperate, and Zi You's superiority, I'm afraid it is unexpected.
The blood coat was not yet dry, and a thick gas pounced on the nose.
Zi covered his mouth fiercely, turned his head and shivered. He always hated blood, but never saw him as scared as this moment.
"Chin was three miles outside Beiqiaoyi Station, and the fugitive Miyagi and his accomplices were intercepted. After searching the car, no suspicious behavior was found. Afterwards, the imperial object was found on the accompanying servant woman. Vice Commander Xu led the pursuit and also captured the rebel. "It's going fast." Wei Han bowed his head, his voice was like ice, "A total of seven rebels, no one leaked."
"Can you leave alive?" Song Huaien said coldly.
Wei Han gave a meal. "Three people killed themselves on the spot. The two committed suicide. The remaining two were kept in custody."
After speaking, he and Song Huaien both looked at me silently, almost blending with the shadow in the temple, but they looked like two unsheathed knives, murderous, and forced me to breathe.
I gritted my teeth and turned my head, no more glances.
"Where is the head of the Qianyuan Hall?" I sternly.
The housekeeper Wang Fu stepped in, and fell on his knees, "the old slave is here."
"Take the jade seal." I raised my hand and threw the book in front of him. "The purpose is to dismiss the queen Hu as a Tatar and immediately be taken to Leng Palace."
After the screen, the two housekeepers appeared like ghosts, one left and one right.
Wang Fu's bloated and obese body was abnormally agile at the moment, striding closer to the throne, and losing sight of his son, "The emperor, the old slave offended."
The left and right inner servants held Zi Zi, and Wang Fu stepped forward, searched out the jade seal that Zi Ji was hiding next to him, and pressed the script.
Zi Yan was as stiff as a stone sculpture, and at the mercy of him, he fixed his eyes on me, and his eyes seemed to be bleeding.
I suddenly turned and closed my eyes tightly. "Leader Wei immediately put Hu's jail to clear the rest of the insurgents."
"Subordinates obey." Wei Han bowed his knees, immediately folded and quit, and went to Zhaoyang Palace with Wang Fu.
I slowly turned around.
Zi looked down, staring straight at the ground—at his feet, the scarlet blood cloak.
He stared at the blood cloak, retracted his toes sharply, fell on the throne, bent over and vomited, his shoulders jerking.
As soon as I stayed, my heart throbbed and I couldn't control myself any more. I ran forward to support him.
He shook so hard.
"Transfer Royal Doctor, quickly spread Royal Doctor-" I turned to shout to Song Huaien.
Zixi panted violently, suddenly broke away from my support, and slaped with a backhand.
Ears are crisp and Venus is dazzling.
I fell under the throne, stupefied, and froze, as if not moving.
The cheeks were hot and the lips were astringent.
Zi Yan looked at me intently, the bottom of his eyes was hollow, but the corner of his lips was a cold smile.
With a whistle, the sword light passed, and a long sword blocked me and Zizi.
Song Huai'en's figure was standing in front of him, and the back of his hands was bulging.
Zi, I owe you more than this one.
I hate it, I hate it, as long as you give it, I suffer.
I chuckled, raised my hand to wipe the blood on my lips, and managed to get up.
Song Huai'en reached out to help and was blocked by me.
I said lightly, "The emperor's dragon body is unsafe. Starting today, he will rest in the dormitory. No one should be disturbed."
Stepping out of the Qianyuan Hall, I couldn't support it anymore, and my foot was soft, but I couldn't reach the threshold.
"Prince!" Song Huai'en's hand firmly supported my arm and held me.
His anxious gaze revealed his resolute perseverance.
"The messenger has rushed to northern Xinjiang, and the horses are galloping day and night. Within seven days, the secret letter can be delivered to the hands of the grandfather. For now, we need to support a small amount of time. Everything in Beijing has me.
I was grateful, but I did n’t know how to express it, just smiled, "Thank you, Wyan."
Nine palace palaces gradually raised the evening breeze, and the sky was heavy and cloudy.
The far and near palaces have already held the lights, and the lights flicker in the night.
"Are you going to Zhaoyang Palace?" Song Huain asked.
What to do in Zhaoyang Palace, show off my victory, or appreciate the failure of others?
I smiled horribly. Hu Yao didn't do anything wrong. Her choice was the same as mine, but to strive for survival and dignity for herself and for her loved ones, to clear all obstacles and dangers, and to survive if she did nothing.
If not met in such a situation, she and I may be confidantes.
"You don't have to go to Zhaoyang Palace, everything is up to you. I'm tired, I'll go back to my house." I turned back sadly and boarded the car.
Is going to drive, but saw Wang Fu rushed from the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.
"Princess Kailuan, the emperor ... when Hu was abolished, she was just stunned.
