Chapter 156,
Oh, by the way, there is also the imperial edict from that year.
Liao Xiang didn't say anything.
Concubine Zhang watched the situation unfold from the sidelines. Several important figures had died during a banquet, and she had thought she would be punished, but...something interesting was about to happen.
Pei Yan: "What do you mean? What happened back then was over long ago. Prime Minister Liao and my father personally admitted that the late emperor passed the throne to Your Majesty. Do you have to check it again? Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the late emperor by believing the words of those treacherous villains?" He said this with indignation, which brought people back to their senses.
Yes, the second prince also made such a fuss back then, but the Duke of Pei at that time tried his best to prove that it was Your Majesty who succeeded to the throne. This was already a certainty at the time, and there was no other possibility.
And... do they want to die by not standing on His Majesty's side?
So several ministers were about to express their loyalty to His Majesty, but suddenly a white feather arrow shot out from outside and went straight to His Majesty's throat like a sharp sword.
Seeing this, the eunuch beside him shouted, "Protect His Majesty!"
Pei Yan rolled over and kicked the arrow aside!
But at this moment, the noise outside suddenly stopped, and a man in silver armor walked in, followed by a group of soldiers. The soldiers all had black ropes tied around their arms, and it was obvious that they were not their people.
"Long time no see, my dear brother. I wonder if you have been sitting firmly on the throne you seized during my absence?"
Emperor Mingde looked up at him, and the man in silver armor took off his helmet and looked at the man sitting on the dragon throne with a smile.
Emperor Mingde said nothing.
But the man smiled and threw a person's head over. The head was obviously... Wang Jiao's.
The General Weiyuan, who had just been personally appointed, died at the hands of the enemy, and now this villain is still standing in the Chaoyang Palace.
Everyone was shocked!
The ministers were surrounded by the enemy troops.
However, a few of them stood there quietly. When they saw the enemy coming, they took the black cloth and tied it around their arms.
The position has been made clear.
However, Liao Xiang above had an unclear expression on his face. He didn't react at all when he saw the man taking off his helmet, as if he didn't take him seriously.
"My dear teacher, perhaps you should reveal the truth to the world and clear me of the charge of treason."

While a good show was going on here, Su Guoer woke up in the bumpy ride.
She opened her hazy eyes and looked in front of her, but there was only darkness, with occasional flickering lights. Where was this? she wondered.
However, there was some pain in the back of her head, and it took her a while to recover.
Finally, Su Guoer asked during the bumpy ride, "Where is this?"
She remembered that Pang Ya should be next to her, so she called out a few times: "Pang Ya? Pang Ya? Is that you?"
Fatty: "It's me, Master. Are you awake?"
Su Guoer was a little confused when she was called like that, but after she came to her senses, she immediately struggled to get down: "Come down, put me down first."
But he didn't have the strength to break free from Pang Ya's restraints, as she was always very strong.
And Fatty: "Master, don't waste your energy. The effect of this muscle softening powder has not worn off yet. You can't move for the time being."
Su Guoer had no choice but to give up, but still said: "Why are you suddenly not stupid anymore?"
Feeling she wouldn't answer she asked again, "Where are we now?"
Fatty: "We are now in the tunnel of the Imperial Palace. Someone has died in the palace, and His Majesty wants to arrest you and bring you to justice. I have been entrusted to take you away. Once we pass through this tunnel, we will be out of the city. I will then tell you what happened here."
She promised Su Guoer, and Su Guoer fell silent after hearing this.
Before she passed out, she saw Pang Ya in the tunnel. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who attacked her was... Qing Niang?!
"What is your relationship with Qingniang?!" Su Guoer seemed to understand something.
Fatty: "It's a master-servant relationship, no, it should be said... a benefactor relationship. You and I are the master-servant relationship."
Su Guoer didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Fatty carried Su Guoer on her back as they walked and said, "I'll tell you when we get there, or you can think about it first. I think you should still have some memories of your childhood."
This caused Su Guoer to think deeply. Childhood memories? She murmured.
"Memories before the age of three."
Memories before the age of three were a little difficult to recall, but... she remembered a picture she had drawn when she was eleven years old and fell on her head.
The painting shows a valley with a stone yard in the valley. In that small yard are her father and mother, and... many, many people.
They call their father "senior brother".
Senior Brother…………
She seemed to understand what was going on.
But she couldn't remember clearly the memories before she was three years old. At that time, she just thought it was a dream. The place in the dream was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Fatty continued, "I was rescued by your father. Later, I learned martial arts from Qingniang and was sent to the escort agency to follow Miss Wen. But you are my real master. Because your father saved my life, I swore to protect you. Oh, and you should be able to see Miss Wen later. She is one of ours. Now we have to send you out of the capital."
There were too many things in Su Guoer's mind, and now they were all mixed together like a ball of wool, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't untie it.
Fortunately, she knew that Pang Ya had no ill will towards her, so she leaned on Pang Ya's back, calmed herself down, and thought carefully about what had happened.
First: "What happened in the palace? Why did His Majesty arrest me?"
Fatty: "I heard from Qingniang that the Yunjiang fish balls you made were poisoned and the seven Hu envoys are all dead. His Majesty is furious and has summoned the Imperial Guards to bring all the chefs who cooked that day to Chaoyang Palace for personal interrogation."
"Are they all dead?" Su Guoer's face turned pale.
"But... I didn't do this. If we leave now, will they assume that I was the one who poisoned them?" Su Guoer immediately thought of this question.
But Fatty replied: "No, Your Majesty probably doesn't have time to deal with this matter. You don't know yet, there are several circles of rebels surrounding the palace, and they are about to force a certain dynasty to usurp the throne."
What?
This time, Su Guoer was so surprised that she was speechless.
First, the envoy was poisoned to death, and then the enemy army came to force the emperor to abdicate. It all looked like a conspiracy. When Su Guoer thought of this, she felt relieved.
In this case, the poison was probably administered by the rebels and had nothing to do with her. She only needed to prove that she was not a member of the rebel army.
She is now considered to be Concubine Zhang's person,
No, after she left, she belonged to no one.
