Chapter 209: Palace Transformation
Chapter 209 Palace Change (Part 1)
"If I see him again, I will definitely tear him to pieces!" Shangguan Chen said unhappily as Huahua left behind.
"Okay, OK, success or failure is tonight. We must all be prepared. Go back and have a good rest and accumulate energy. When the time comes, I will call you to get up, okay?" Hua Rongrong shook her head helplessly, turned around and said to Shangguan Chen.
"What about you, do you want to sleep with me?" Shangguan Chen smiled again on his face, stretched out his hand to wrap Hua Rongrong's slender waist, and wrapped Hua Rongrong in his arms, and said with a smile.
Hua Rongrong's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Shangguan Chen away: "I don't want to have something to do, so the prince should rest by himself."
As he said that, without waiting for Shangguan Chen to answer, he quickly took a few steps back and widened the distance between himself and Shangguan Chen, so as not to tempt him again in a while.
Shangguan Chen had a smile on his face. Looking at Hua Rongrong's reaction, he was very satisfied. It seemed that he was still very tempting to her, otherwise she would not be so careful to stay away from her. Then why did this stupid woman always try every means to leave her?
Looking at Shangguan Chen who was not talking in front of him and only staring at him with a smile, Hua Rongrong couldn't help but blush. He couldn't see what Shangguan Chen was thinking, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Your Majesty should go to bed early, I will leave."
As he said that, he turned around and left without waiting for Shangguan Chen to speak.
Waiting for Huahua to come back, Hua Rongrong turned around and entered the room where the two girls rescued.
When they pushed the door open, the two girls knelt down when they saw Hua Rongrong and said gratefully: "Princess, you are really the best person we have ever met. No one has ever been willing to make a decision for the children of our poor families. If it weren't for the princess, we sisters would have already..."
As they said that, the two couldn't help crying again.
Hua Rongrong hurried forward and bent down to help the two of them up: "Okay, okay, get up quickly, this kind of thing happens under the emperor's nose. It turns out that the royal supervision is not effective. I am the princess, and it is my duty to save you. If you thank you so much, will it make me even more ashamed?"
After the two girls' expressions have recovered a lot after the past two days of cultivation. When they saw Hua Rongrong say this, they were so moved that they could not speak.
"Princess, we cannot repay your great kindness. We just want to stay by the princess and serve you all the time, and hope that the princess will fulfill her." The older girl fell to her knees on the ground again and begged.
"Get up quickly." Hua Rongrong had to help the girl up again: "Miss, you don't have to be so polite, it's just a slight effort. Besides, you have parents at home, how can I keep you by your side?" Hua Rongrong didn't expect that they would make such a request, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Empress, please be kind and take us in. We have been abducted and have no face to go back. If our parents find out, we will definitely beat us to death." The younger girl's eyes trembled slightly, trying her best to suppress her emotions and try not to cry.
"How could this happen?" Hua Rongrong couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Yes, my grandmother, after all, we were sold into a brothel. When we went back, we threw away all the people in the family. My parents would definitely wish we were both dead outside and would not want us to go back again. If we really went back, my parents would definitely burn us to death!" The older girl also looked at Hua Rongrong with a pleading look and said.
Hua Rongrong has heard of some of them. The people do have this inhumane punishment, and they are sentenced to stolen by unfaithful women.
She always thought that this was just a legend, but she didn't expect it to exist among the people and was right next to her.
"Then... well, you guys follow me first." Hua Rongrong hesitated a little. In this troublesome autumn, accepting them by himself may not necessarily give them a stable life.
On the contrary, Hua Rongrong was even more afraid that they would be implicated by themselves. If their actions failed today, they would definitely be implicated by themselves.
Unfortunately, apart from accepting them, Hua Rongrong really couldn't think of a better way. After all, there was hope for him to follow him. If he sent him back to his hometown, they might be dead.
"Thank you, the Princess! We are willing to be a cow and a horse for the Queen in the future and repay the Queen's kindness." The two women said in surprise when they heard this.
"By the way, I don't know what your names are." Hua Rongrong then remembered that she didn't know what the names of the two girls were, and asked.
"Great lady, my name is Xiaoshui." said the older girl, then pointed to the younger girl and said, "She is called Nuyi."
"So, since you have followed me, hurry up to the Sanwang Mansion and find the Jacquard Girl, and ask her to take you to find a place to avoid it first, and then I will pick you up when the right time." Hua Rongrong had already had a scheming in her heart and said.
If the action tonight is successful, I can pick them up. If the action tonight fails, I will let them hide first, and I will not implicate my maids and lose their lives.
"Yes." The two girls responded respectfully and left under Hua Rongrong's gaze.
After explaining everything, Hua Rongrong finally breathed a deep breath. He had done his best to arrange everything for everyone and hoped that Guan Chen would come back safely tonight...
When she returned to her room, Hua Rongrong felt a little nervous and was walking around the room, waiting for Hua Hua to come back.
"Meow~" A shrill cat moaned suddenly, and Hua Rongrong, who was already worried about tonight, was immediately scared and sweated.
I looked up and followed the sound, and I saw Huahua squatting on the windowsill looking at her with a playful look on her face.
"Come in first." Hua Rongrong said with a hint of complaint in her voice.
"Rongrong, are you thinking about others? Otherwise, why would you be scared like this?" Huahua's lips raised slightly, she showed a beautiful smile, and she leaned over to Huarongrong and said intimately.
"You are in such a good mood, it seems that the situation in the palace is not bad." Huahua's injustice immediately broke the tense and serious atmosphere. Hua Rongrong smiled and said.
"Who said that?" Huahua suddenly put away her smile, frowned slightly, and looked at Hua Rongrong seriously and asked.
Hua Rongrong was shocked. Could it be that Shangguan Yu had guessed that the information Li Fei said was fake and was ready tonight to wait to invite you into the trap?
"What's the situation now?" Hua Rongrong raised her eyes and asked, looking at Hua Hua's eyes.
Huahua saw Hua Rongrong being fooled, and the seriousness in her eyes immediately dissipated, and her smile bloomed little by little. She rushed forward and hugged Hua Rongrong: "It's okay, I've already checked carefully. The guards in the entire palace are not tight. When I go there, I'm like visiting the vegetable market, with no sign of being strictly guarded. We will definitely be able to achieve great success if we go tonight."
Hua Rongrong stepped back a little, widening the distance between herself and Hua Hua, with a very serious expression: "Is it very relaxed to be on guard?"
As he said that, his brows became tighter and tighter, he said worriedly: "Concubine Li has informed the emperor that we will launch a palace change tomorrow. Why is the guards in the palace still so relaxed today? Is this the trap that the emperor deliberately led us to? "
"Don't worry, the guards of the palace are not as relaxed as you think. However, if I can investigate the situation in the palace so easily, I can know what the guards of the palace are." Huahua's lips raised, a hint of pride flashed across her expression, and she comforted her with a smile.
Hua Rongrong's brows were still frowning tightly, and she did not feel relieved because of Hua Hua's comfort: "But why do I always feel uneasy in my heart? Should I notify the prince and change the time of the palace change?"
Huahua took a step forward and hugged Hua Rongrong in his arms: "Rongrong, you are really worried. The emperor should still trust Concubine Li very much. Since Concubine Li said it was tomorrow, he should be nervous about the corresponding strategy now.
We already have General Peng in our hands, and the emperor cannot stop the mutiny. Unless he asks for help from the Liao Kingdom on the side, he has no ability to strengthen the guards of the palace at this time, so you can rest assured to wait for news of the prince's victory in the inn."
Huahua said everything was reasonable, and Hua Rongrong's heart was finally relaxed. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head. She was all concerned and was confused. She was too worried about Shangguan Chen's safety, for fear of something unexpected for him.
late at night.
The dark night became the natural protective clothing for all soldiers. General Peng's well-trained soldiers were dressed in black clothes and gathered silently in front of the palace gate.
A golden carriage ran quickly to the palace gate and stopped.
"Open the door quickly. The third prince suddenly became ill. He needs to take all the imperial doctors to treat him!" A servant said anxiously to the guards of the imperial city standing in front of him.
The guards of the Imperial City have received the news that whenever the people from the Third Prince's Mansion come, they must be tied up and reported. Although they don't know what happened, they are just a small guard and have no right to ask about their master's affairs at all. They just know that they have to do things as they are told.
Several guards suddenly surrounded him and pulled down the servants in the carriage: "Tie them up!"
As he said that, he pointed all the swords at the carriage. The goalkeeper shouted sternly: "Is there anyone inside? Come out quickly, otherwise I won't blame me for being polite!"
There was no movement inside the carriage. The general stepped forward and lifted the curtain. Seeing that there was no one inside, he felt a little relieved.
The guards were tied up tightly by the guards in a blink of an eye. The goalkeeper looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual. Then he curled his lips and showed a hint of disdain: "Damn it, I'm not comfortable for the old man to be at home in the evening. I'll send it in to the emperor and report it to the emperor!"
"Yes." The soldiers under him responded and then opened the city gate.
As soon as the big lock at the city gate opened a crack, countless men in black suddenly rushed over from beside them. Even the cold and sharp swords in their hands were painted with a layer of black, shining with a cold light, as if it was a fatal weapon, which made people feel timid when they saw it.
"Someone rebelled!" There were not many guards guarding the gate. After realizing the situation, they immediately ran to the palace, shouting loudly while running.
Unfortunately, the enemy seemed to be pouring in continuously, wearing black black blades, even his face was black, and he was unable to defend against it in the dark night.
In a blink of an eye, the guards guarding the gate were completely destroyed.
When the royal army not far from the palace heard the movement, they rushed over. Unfortunately, compared with Shangguan Chen's men, it was a drop in the bucket and could not play any substantial role. Moreover, on one side were elite soldiers and powerful generals who were raising their strength, while on the other side were temporarily fighting, and they were not prepared at all. In a blink of an eye, Shangguan Chen's men were already approaching the emperor's bedroom.
