Faced with Luo Yi's ridicule, Empress Changsun just replied with disdain. .

Luo Yi handed the blood-dropped sword forward a little more, and the sword edge almost touched the queen. Changsun grabbed the sword edge with his hand, and then pounced forward.

No one and defense.

The sharp sword pierced directly into the queen's chest.

The sword tip pierced from under the ribs, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and the bright red blood dyed the queen's clothes red.

Luo Yi was stunned on the spot.

When he just turned the sword against the queen, he really felt a sense of pleasure, but he had never thought about killing the queen. He didn't dare to kill the queen. Li Yuan said that he could not be hurt, so he didn't dare to kill.

"Not me."

"It was she who grabbed my sword and stabbed it in."

Luo Yi shouted loudly.

Empress Changsun's hand was hanging down weakly.

Three years ago, when her husband left the Qin Palace and went to Xuanwu Gate, she called her children together and then crossed her sword on her knees.

At that time, she made up her mind that if her husband failed in Xuanwu Gate, he would not wait for them to take action, and would take his children to the underworld to meet her husband.

"Mother Queen!"

Li Tai and Li Lizhi turned their heads and ran back, crying and screaming while running.

Yang also hugged the queen, "Empress."

Li Yuan looked at the sudden scene and couldn't help but dilate his pupils. He was lost for a moment, and then sighed, "Changsun, why are you doing this? I said I won't hurt you."

But Changsun smiled.

"You are destined to fail."

After saying that, the queen closed her eyes and tilted her head.

"Come here, I'll send it to the imperial doctor right away." Li Yuan shouted.

There were less than half of the five hundred imperial guards left. When they saw the queen commit suicide, they were furious. An imperial guard who had already put down his sword drew out his musket and shot the person in front of him.

The other imperial guards rushed forward with a yell.

Luo Yi's sword was still stuck in the queen. He smashed an imperial guard from a shield, grabbed his sword and broke into the crowd, swung left and right, killing several people in a row.

The imperial guards loyal to the emperor died one after another.

In the end, the whole audience was silent.

In front of Zhenguan Hall, corpses piled up like mountains.

Eastern Palace.

The three major yamen under the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Hanlin Academy, the Privy Council, and the three major yamen worked temporarily in the East Palace, and issued internal and external edicts.

"Your Highness, another battalion of imperial guards arrived at the command." Liu Hongji reported,

This news excited everyone.

The orders of the crown prince and the orders of the Privy Council, and the military talismans of the Ministry of War were still useful. In the chaos, these represented the court and orthodox. Many generals and captains of the imperial guards rushed to the scene after receiving the order.

At present, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses have gathered, and together with the servants of each prefecture, there are only 8,000 people in the East Palace at this time.

"General Qu Tu, we have eight thousand people now. Can we go to Ziwei Palace?" asked the prince. The people who went to Ziwei Palace to pick up the queen have not returned yet. More and more news shows that the Supreme Emperor has received support from many people. They have already gone to Ziwei Palace and the queen may be trapped.

"Your Highness, the situation outside is unclear now. Ziwei Palace may have fallen into the hands of the Supreme Emperor. It is too risky to leave the Eastern Palace now. We should stick to the Eastern Palace and mobilize more soldiers from the North and South yamen to come to guard the situation as much as possible, and then call on troops from other places to serve the king."

It is definitely too late to wait for the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor has made great plans and has attracted too many nobles, honors, officials, etc. who are dissatisfied with the new policy. During this period, the capital was empty and many imperial guards secretly turned against each other.

Most of the imperial guards in the Daming Palace who were supposed to be guarding the Supreme Emperor turned against each other. This situation was impossible.

However, although the prince was caught off guard, he still had his own advantages. No matter what, although the Supreme Emperor was once the emperor, he was once the emperor.

His restoration received support from many people, but the imperial center was still on the side of the prince.

In this chaos, the orders of several major yamen in the central government are sometimes very important.

"But the queen." Cheng Qian said worriedly.

"The queen will not be in trouble. Even if the Supreme Emperor occupied Ziwei Palace, he would not be rude to the queen." After all, this was an internal strife between the family. In the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the emperor did not kill the prince and the King of Qi, nor did the Supreme Emperor. Then this time, they should not kill Empress Changsun.

"Your Highness."

Ma Zhou brought a man over, "This is the coach of the Duke Zhao's mansion. He is very skilled in martial arts. He lets him stay with His Highness and protect His Highness's safety in close proximity."

Chengqian knew Ke Qing and knew that this person was indeed the master of Duke Zhao's mansion.

"Teacher Ke, why are you in the capital?"

"Your Highness, my mistress went to Wushan for vacation and asked me to stay and take care of the mansion. When I heard that there was chaos in the palace, I escorted Mr. Ma's family here."

Cheng Qian sighed, "It would be great if Taibao was here."

Ke Qing said, "Duke Zhao is now in Liaodong, but Your Highness can give Duke Zhao a decree to mobilize troops to help the king."

"Far away water can quench near thirst." Cheng Qian shook his head.

"It's only three days and three nights to send an order to Liaodong. If Duke Zhao comes quickly, he might arrive in half a month."

"Can we keep for half a month?" Cheng Qian asked Ma Zhou.

"It will definitely be possible for half a month." Ma Zhou replied that the Eastern Palace is an independent palace after all, and there are so many soldiers guarding it. Even if the Supreme Emperor occupied Ziwei Palace, he would not have much more soldiers.

"Then I will immediately send a letter to the Taibao Wang, and Teacher Ke will go there in person."

Ke Qing hesitated, "It would be better for me to stay by your highness and guard it. In fact, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"you say."

"Your Highness, I think it is not safe for Your Highness to stay in the East Palace at the moment. It is better for Your Highness to change the clothes. While the East Palace has not been surrounded and the capital has not yet fallen into the hands of the Supreme Emperor, Your Highness can change the clothes and be escorted out of the city by me."

"Out of the city? At this time?"

Chengqian never thought about this at all. In his opinion, he was the crown prince of the governor. Now the Supreme Emperor restored the riots and planned to rebel was his dereliction of duty. He should stick to the Eastern Palace.

Ma Zhou thought about it for a while and thought Ke Qing's words made sense.

"Your Highness, I also think that Teacher Ke's method is good. With him, you don't need many people to take Your Highness out of the capital."

"But what should I do here as soon as I leave? What should I do if those soldiers and officials who are loyal to my father and the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Highness, you can use a substitute to be in the Eastern Palace, which can also stabilize people's hearts."

This is indeed a solution. The prince leaves the capital, so what if the emperor controls the capital?

Chengqian shook his head.

"No!"

"I won't leave, I will stick here with the soldiers until my father and Taibao come."

"Your Highness." Ma Zhou advised again.

"No need to say anything more, it's decided."

Liu Hongji, who was wearing armor, came over, "Your Highness, the rebels are coming to the East Palace."

Cheng Qian's face changed slightly, "Did you come so quickly?"
