Five men fell off their horses with a thud, and the team behind them was in chaos.
Someone rushed forward to help them, but found that they all had a hole the size of a finger between their eyebrows.
Fresh blood and a small amount of brain matter are slowly flowing out of the hole...
Looking at their expressions and pulses, how can they be saved?
At this moment, a high-pitched and loud shout from the Golden Scale Guards came from the inner palace watchtower: "The father-in-law is dead! Why don't you surrender quickly!"
The soldiers who were struggling to break down the door turned around when they heard the sound and were stunned to see several people lying on the ground.
The banging on the door stopped, but shouting could be clearly heard again and the rebels were thrown into chaos.
The Golden Scale Guards and the Golden Guards took advantage of the opportunity and quickly took control of the situation.
On the bluestone floor in front of the hall, five bodies were placed side by side. Two of them were deputy generals of the Zhenwei Army, and the other three were the father-in-law and his sons.
The queen looked at the corpse in front of her, her whole body felt cold, her legs and feet became weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her face pale.
She doesn't know whether she should be thankful?
Or should I be sad?
She had clearly reached an agreement with Cui Changan, and her family had clearly agreed to withdraw from the court, so why did they go back on their word?
Have they never worried about their daughter at all?
It turns out that once a woman gets married, she truly becomes an outsider.
However, as soon as Cui Changan subdued the rebels, he sent someone to find Xiao Wu.
No one knew that Cui Changan's arms were covered with goose bumps.
The thing that kept coming back to his mind was the box that Xiao Wu was carrying when she went out.
There are also holes in the foreheads of five rebel leaders.
He looked at the wound carefully and found that it was not caused by a crossbow arrow.
It was a weapon he had never seen before.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well: he was very scared.
Xiao Wu said that the box contained something that could help her turn defeat into victory.
Xiao Wu did it.
But while Cui Changan was relieved, he was also a little worried.
If I let Xiao Wu down one day, would the things in the box also open a small hole in my head?
At that time, he was only separated from the father-in-law and others by a wall, and the place where Xiao Wu made the move should be on the corner tower of the inner palace.
He didn't hear any sound when the father-in-law and several others were hit.
There were no sounds of arrows breaking through the air or sharp explosions.
Just a loud shout from the corner tower, and suddenly there was chaos outside, and the banging on the door stopped...
Without a leader, the rebels voluntarily surrendered and the crisis was resolved.
What on earth is that?
Xiao Wu came back soon, but her hands were empty, with nothing in them.
Cui Changan's eyes flashed with fear: "Xiao Wu, where is the thing you just took?"
Xiao Wu spread her hands and said, "Put it away."
The movements are frank and free and easy.
Cui Changan looked around and said, "You must hide such an important thing well, don't let anyone get it."
Xiao Wu laughed and glanced at Cui Changan: "Of course I put it in another world."
“How could it be placed here?”
Cui Changan felt embarrassed as if he had been seen through: "That's good..."
Xiao Wu saw through his fear at a glance and comforted him cheerfully: "Brother Changan, don't worry, I have no ill will towards you."
I won't do anything to you either.
Cui Changan took a deep breath, then nodded: "I know. I'm relieved."
"I just... recalled the fear I felt when the Cui family was confiscated and exterminated."
I was fine the moment before, without any warning, and suddenly I became an orphan...
You can survive because you are still useful.
Similarly, because of his usefulness, his family also became an obstacle for the royal family to use him.
And this is not because my family did anything wrong, but because my fate is in the hands of others.
Groundless.
Xiao Wu sighed: "Brother Changan, this is your inner demon. I can't help you. You need to overcome it by yourself."
How could Cui Changan not know this?
But knowing and being able to do are two different things.
He can't do it yet.
The two of them then tacitly avoided the topic and began to discuss the next course of action.
Xiao Wu's mysterious weapon successfully intimidated a large number of generals who were ready to take action.
Some people later reviewed the incident and discovered that the corner tower from which Xiao Wu shot the mysterious weapon was more than a hundred feet away from the palace gate.
Such a long distance, such a dark night, and such accurate shooting, and five at the same time...
The whole world has never heard of such a sharpshooter from ancient times to the present.
But the young Miss Fu did it!
If someone said that she was very capable, no one would believe it.
That's how powerful that mysterious weapon is.
But what kind of weapon is that?
Except for the Golden Scale Guard who stayed with Xiao Wu at the time, no one had ever seen what the weapon looked like.
Others only know that the Golden Scale Guards’ loyalty to Miss Fu has reached a new high.
I think as long as the decision made by Miss Fu is not directed against the little prince, the Golden Scale Guards will execute it without hesitation.
Under the deterrence of this mysterious weapon, the prince's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.
Little Min'er was held in Cui Chang'an's arms and sat on the throne.
When all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the country" in unison, Cui Chang'an and Min'er both looked serious.
This will be the place where they will fight side by side for the next ten years!
After all the officials finished shouting, a childish voice sounded: "All the officials, please stand up."
Eunuch A Zhong held back his tears and stood up and shouted, "Imperial decree!"
"The Queen, Madam Wang, is kind, loyal and filial... She is honored as the Empress Dowager Ci'an..."
"If there is something to report, report it early. If there is nothing to report, leave the court."
The officials paused and began to report...
The court finally got back on track.
Afterwards, the new emperor issued an order, conferring upon Miss Fu the title of Princess of Jiaxing, Commander of the Golden Scale Guard, and placing her in charge of the Golden Scale Guard.
In order to allow the Prince Regent and Princess Jiaxing to devote their full efforts to the country, they were ordered to get married three days later.
No one dared to say that it was inappropriate to do so during the national mourning period.
As long as the Regent thinks it is appropriate, it is appropriate.
The wedding was held as scheduled, but this time it was different from the previous ones. The Queen Mother personally ordered that Miss Fu be allowed to use the phoenix crown, and also asked her personal maid to send a lot of jewelry as a dowry...
Everyone could see that the Queen Mother was trying to please the Regent and his wife.
But so what?
They have the ability and luck to obtain such power and status, and they can keep it!
Xiao Wu accepted the reward from the Queen Mother, but on her wedding day, she wore the phoenix crown given by Xiao Yingchun.
Since my parents refused to come, I just wore the jewelry they gave me, which counted as their participation.
Huge oriental pearls, large gemstones, exquisite workmanship, delicate shapes...
When Cui Changan led Xiao Wu, who was wearing a bright red brocade wedding dress, out of the bridal sedan, everyone was stunned.
Even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor who were sitting at the top were stunned.
She was wearing such luxurious robes and such a precious phoenix crown, but her expression was calm and steady, without any of the rough airs of someone who grew up among the common people.
It was as if she was born to be the sun in the sky, and her every look and smile were a sign of her mercy to all living things.
Cui Changan was also stunned.
In the past, I only thought Xiao Wu was beautiful and kind-hearted, and I always wanted to keep her by my side.
Now he is second only to one person and above millions of people, but he feels unworthy and ashamed of himself.
I am not worthy of her.
Xiao Wu seemed to see through his inferiority complex, and she pinched his fingers with her hand that was being held.
Cui Changan came back to his senses and smiled at Xiao Wu: "Let's go in..."
After the ceremony, the two entered the bridal chamber.
While people were drinking the wedding wine here, the scene outside had already become lively.
Many guests whispered: The Regent Princess's outfit is so beautiful! It fits her so well.
Such exquisite things cannot be made in a day or two.
Which embroiderer is so skilled?
How can it be made so exquisitely?
Some people also sighed: The phoenix crown on the Regent Princess’ head is so beautiful!
The Queen Mother was so generous that she gifted the Regent Princess such a beautiful phoenix crown.
The Empress Dowager smiled and pretended not to hear, but her hands under her sleeves almost tore the handkerchief to pieces.
How could that be a reward from yourself?
I don’t have such a beautiful and luxurious phoenix crown or such huge and round beads!
Where on earth did this Miss Fu get the Phoenix Coronet?! (End of this chapter)
