Chapter 511: It’s Time to Live Out
Bei Jingyu excitedly clasped his hands to curb the future he described.
But he still had some doubts in his heart, and said, "But Your Majesty has not deposed the Crown Prince, and her body has not been found and confirmed dead. How could Your Majesty pass the throne to me without the crown prince? I will not believe it."
Chang Tingyi took a deep breath, and seemed a little impatient with his slowness, but still said patiently: "Your Highness, just find a rotten corpse and say it is the prince, then it will naturally be your turn."
So, Bei Jingchu was staying in his hiding place when he heard that the prince's body had been found.
Bei Jingchu: “…Ah?”
"......oh."
She roughly guessed what the other party wanted to do, and just nodded and said, "That's good. Most people think I'm dead, so it's easier to act. It actually adds a layer of chance of winning."
After midnight, there is only one hour left until dawn, which is when the night is at its darkest.
Even though the people above ordered the palace gates to be strictly guarded, nothing happened after a whole night of guarding.
The man on duty tonight couldn't help feeling sleepy before going home, and thinking that no one was supervising him, he took a nap.
Then his companions covered his mouth and cut his neck with a knife, so that he didn't make a sound.
After the man solved the problem, he unlocked the door. Outside an inconspicuous corner door of the palace, a group of well-trained soldiers stood in neat rows.
An inconspicuous torch illuminated the murderous look on everyone's face.
After the corner gate was opened, a group of iron men in full armor rushed in like a continuous stream.
And this corner gate is just one of them.
Almost all entrances fell at the same time.
However, the assassinations at several of the gates failed and could not be resolved before the attack took place.
But so what?
The next moment, the army broke in. The advance plot was just to avoid alerting the enemy and causing more trouble.
The real confidence comes from being able to defeat ten people with one's strength.
A group of soldiers rushed into the palace and did not stay hidden for long. Soon, the tranquility of the night was abruptly broken by the shouting of killing at the gate of the imperial city.
The officials and their families who lived nearby were awakened, and in panic they sent people to inquire about the news and closed their doors tightly.
Soon after, the noise spread into Shangyang Palace.
The palace maids woke up in shock and fled in all directions, but found that the group of people did not burn, kill or loot as they had imagined.
Most of the time, as long as you stay away from them and don't provoke them, you'll be fine.
And a few...
A man came in and tried to steal the gold and silver from a palace maid, but was shot away by a woman and died instantly.
Lei Nian'er shouted coldly: "We must obey orders and keep our promises. Anyone who violates orders due to personal reasons will be punished by military law, just like this person!"
After that, no one dared to distract attention to irrelevant people.
The noise outside had not yet spread to Ganlu Palace, and Bei Jingyu was persuading Lei Ning to let them in.
"When your king or father is ill, as a son you should serve him at his bedside to show your filial piety."
"General Lei has no basis for his words. He only said that His Majesty has given an order that outsiders are not allowed to enter Ganlu Palace."
"Is it an oral order or a false imperial decree?"
Lei Ning remained unmoved and instead released a piece of news.
"Your Majesty has woken up and said he does not want to see the King of Qin. Please go back."
"Your Highness must be aware of the consequences of disobeying the order."
Bei Jingyu, who had been able to endure and maneuver, was completely confused. The emperor had woken up, and his actions in the past two days were tantamount to self-destruction.
Unexpectedly, he led his men to try to force their way in, and threatened: "General Lei, you can also see the health condition of His Majesty."
"How long can you continue to be the emperor's favorite? Don't you consider your future and your Lei family relatives at all?"
"Now all the palace gates are guarded by my men. You have no chance of winning. Even if you stop me, Your Majesty will not live long."
"If you let us in now, I promise that your position as the Grand General of the Jinwu Guard will be as stable as Mount Tai."
"If you still resist, your entire Lei family will be exterminated!"
These words caused a slight tremor in Lei Ning's eyes.
Especially since his youngest son, whom he had been waiting for for half his life, has not yet grown up...
But, it was only a little bit, and then there was determination.
"He is indeed a traitor and a thief, and he should be punished for his crime."
The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the guards suffered heavy casualties, but the King of Qin and his men did not find a chance to break into the Ganlu Palace.
Bei Jingchu stayed in the dark for a while and looked at the sky. It was too late to wait any longer.
It seemed that she didn't have the luck to be the lucky one, so she took her people out.
"The King of Qin plotted rebellion, murdered the King Chu, and also intended to rebel against the emperor and kill his father."
"All of you, follow me to save the emperor, kill the corrupt officials, and clean up the country!"
The familiar voice evoked the deep fear in everyone. They turned around and saw a girl in armor holding a red rifle, leading a crowd of people.
It was like dark clouds from the sky rolling over.
While the Qin Wang group was being arrested, Lei Ning strictly followed orders and tried to prevent anyone from entering.
Another shot came and knocked him back two steps.
Bei Jingchu entered the Ganlu Palace without any hindrance.
Lei Nian'er held a gun in front of him and said, "Aye, your opponent is me."
"I told you before, I have disliked you for a long time, but you don't seem to take it to heart."
......
Bei Jingchu walked into the Ganlu Palace alone.
In the past three years, I have met the emperor very rarely.
Now I suddenly realized that he had an alarming amount of white hair.
For someone under 40, with the best doctors and supplements in the world, even if she doesn't stay young forever, it's reasonable for her to look a dozen years younger than the average person.
But he looks as old as a man who has reached the age of 50.
Bei Heng was wearing casual clothes, sitting at the table playing chess alone.
Even when he was forced into his bedroom, he remained calm and continued with his unfinished business.
After coughing twice, he greeted, "Is the prince here?"
"Sit down and play the next game with Aye."
When Bei Jing was in the first grade of junior high school, she suddenly realized that it was as if the three-year gap had never happened.
She has always been the crown prince who was trusted by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks, and the daughter who was loved and cared for by him since she was a child.
My eyes felt sore and I had an urge to cry.
But she calmed down immediately.
She had already mastered the art of not showing her emotions.
Having come this far, how could I be burdened by a little appearance of warmth?
"It's almost time for the morning court session. It's too late to play a game of chess."
Bei Jingchu dragged his spear and walked to a position two steps away from him.
"Father, since you are seriously ill, you should just take care of yourself and live out your days."
"Let...I."
"Let me do it for you."
The last chess piece in Bei Heng's hand fell.
......
After a night of chaos, the ministers woke up in the morning and went to the morning court as usual.
But there is a heart hanging with fear.
But fear also has to come, because they must know the consequences after the chaos in order to seize the slightest advantage.
The seat above the dragon throne was empty.
