Using the leaves as cover, Jiang Jiuyue squatted on the eaves and lifted up the tiles.
Looking through the small hole, I saw where Jiang Jiuyue was squatting. There was no one in the room. It was probably not the emperor's bedroom, but a side hall.
Since there was no one there, Jiang Jiuyue simply lifted up more tiles and jumped into the side hall.
After entering the side hall, Jiang Jiuyue opened the door and saw the main hall outside.
This was probably the place where the emperor received some of his most trusted ministers. Now there was no one here, only two eunuchs guarding outside the palace door on the left side of the main hall.
Without thinking, Jiang Jiuyue threw two extremely thin needles at the two eunuchs. In just a few seconds, the two eunuchs fell to the ground.
The two eunuchs fell down, Jiang Jiuyue walked out of the side hall, and quietly opened the door of the emperor's bedroom a crack.
Opposite the door of the bedroom was a large bed with its curtains drawn. There were two kneeling palace maids beside the bed, probably waiting for the emperor to finish visiting his concubine and then come forward to serve him.
At this point, Jiang Jiuyue suddenly became curious. Were these concubines newly selected into the palace or were they kept by the previous emperor?
But she was only curious for a moment, and now was not the time for her to be too curious.
Jiang Jiuyue still used a needle to kill the four kneeling palace maids, and then entered the bedroom.
Jiang Jiuyue walked around the four fainted palace maids and blew some powder into the bed curtain.
The sound from inside the bed curtain soon disappeared. Jiang Jiuyue opened the curtain and saw two naked people again, which still felt a bit eye-catching.
Jiang Jiuyue drew out the dagger, raised his hand and slashed it down, killing the unconscious emperor with one blow.
Jiang Jiuyue ignored the concubine next to him, put away the dagger and left.
Returning to the side hall, Jiang Jiuyue looked at the roof, then opened the window on the other side of the side hall, and after making sure that no one was there, he jumped out.
At this time, it was very close to the time she had agreed with Qi Ji. She quickly climbed over the palace wall and rushed towards the city gate.
The guards in the imperial city were not so strict at night, especially in the inner city. After Jiang Jiuyue threw a few needles at them, they all fell to the ground.
Jiang Jiuyue threw them all aside and opened the city gate.
The city gate was heavy. If she hadn't been so strong, it would have been impossible for one person to open it.
The city gate opened, and what came into view was the Lingnan Army guarding outside the imperial city, which had been quietly eliminated.
Qi Ji rode on his horse, nodded to Jiang Jiuyue, and then led the Lingnan Army into the imperial city.
There was a horse left for Jiang Jiuyue at the end of the Lingnan Army. She jumped on the horse and caught up with Qi Ji.
Jiang Jiuyue and Qi Ji walked side by side, leading the Lingnan Army all the way to Haiyan Palace.
The imperial guards in the imperial city had no time to react and were slaughtered by the Lingnan army.
By the time the Lingnan Army reached the Haiyan Palace, most of the Imperial Guards had been killed or wounded, and the remaining elite troops all gathered in front of the Haiyan Palace.
Qi Ji sat on his horse and shouted, "The emperor is dead, why don't you surrender!"
The commander of the imperial guards shouted, "You Lingnan bastards! As long as I am here, you will never succeed!"
Qi Ji laughed loudly, "Since Commander He doesn't believe what I said, you can go in and take a look. You will know whether the emperor is dead or alive at a glance."
He Zizhong felt an inexplicable sinking in his heart, and he winked at his subordinates beside him, and someone immediately flashed into the Haiyan Palace.
Qi Ji was in no hurry, just waiting for the imperial guards to go in and see the emperor's death.
In a moment, the guard came out of the palace with a pale face and half-knelt in front of He Zizhong, "Your Majesty, you have passed away."
He Zizhong looked at him in disbelief. Qi Ji smiled and said, "Can you trust Commander He this time?"
After the emperor's death, the imperial guards were thrown into disarray.
Qi Ji waved his hand, and the Lingnan Army rushed forward and started fighting with the Imperial Guards.
Affected by the news of the emperor's death, the Imperial Guards were obviously no match for the Lingnan Army. The only remaining elite troops were captured by the Lingnan Army and had no power to fight back.
He Zizhong naturally knew that the general situation was going to change, and said bitterly, "When the previous emperor was in power, he knew that Lingnan would definitely be a major threat to the court. King of Lingnan, you really rebelled."
Qi Ji rode on his horse and said proudly, "The new emperor is unkind and has imposed heavy taxes on the people of Tian. The people of Tian are suffering terribly. I am only thinking about the people of Tian. It is useless to the people of Tian. It is better to change the emperor to someone else."
He Zizhong laughed sarcastically, "The King of Lingnan claims to be righteous, but he is just fighting for fame and fortune."
Qi Ji was not annoyed, but asked, "Commander He, why was he popular when the King of Jin forced the previous emperor to abdicate, but I was considered a traitor when I was dissatisfied with the new emperor's tyranny and fought for the people?"
He Zizhong was slightly stunned, then he consciously retorted, "The King of Jin is of the royal family's orthodox bloodline, and the King of Lingnan was just a king of a different surname conferred by Emperor Taizu. How can he be compared with the King of Jin?"
Qi Ji smiled with great disdain, "According to Commander He, if the crown prince kills the emperor to succeed to the throne, or the prince forces the palace to rebel, can they all be covered up with the royal bloodline?"
He Zizhong was speechless after being asked this question. He stiffened his neck and said, "King of Lingnan, the outcome is decided. The emperor will die in your hands. Go ahead!"
Qi Ji didn't waste any more time talking to He Zizhong. He raised his hand, drew his bow, and shot an arrow through his intestines.
From then on, the Imperial Guards were completely wiped out and the Lingnan Army completely occupied the imperial city.
After getting rid of the imperial guards, Qi Ji arranged for people to guard the city gates. At the end of the Yin hour, when the ministers came to attend the court, they were all detained and no one was allowed to leave.
Jiang Jiuyue looked at Qi Ji's arrangements and said lazily, "Are you ascending the throne?"
Qi Ji looked at her and said, "Boss Jiang, just tell me what you want. There is no need to hide anything between you and me."
Jiang Jiuyue raised his eyes to look at him, "Now that you are the emperor, why don't you let me take over the position of King of Lingnan?"
Qi Ji smiled, "Boss Jiang is the king of the opposite sex?"
Jiang Jiuyue smiled, "Isn't it possible? I've saved you so many times, and even killed the emperor for you. It shouldn't be a problem to reward you for your merits and make you a king of a different surname?"
Qi Ji actually nodded at her, "Of course it's possible. I've said before that this is not the throne. I will agree to whatever Boss Jiang wants."
Then he changed the subject, "However, the position of King of Lingnan cannot be given to Boss Jiang. My father and mother will eventually return to Lingnan. Boss Jiang can find another fiefdom or stay in the capital."
Jiang Jiuyue could not deny it, "I stayed in the capital. Does the King of Lingnan not trust me, or trust me too much?"
Qi Ji laughed heartily, "Of course I can trust you. If I really couldn't trust Boss Jiang, I wouldn't have let Pei Feng look for you."
Jiang Jiuyue looked at him seriously at this time, "I don't want any fiefdom, I can stay in the capital, but I have some ideas about the people, I hope the King of Lingnan will agree to me and give me the power to do it."
