Chapter 424: Catching a Turtle in a Jar



The Tianyu Palace is heavily guarded.

All officials, big and small, who were loyal to Xiao Yuqi and their families were imprisoned in the deep palace.

The female members of the family were trapped in Ci'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

The court officials, both big and small, were placed in the Council Hall.

Regardless of age, everyone was only given one blanket and one blanket.

They were only given two meals a day, each meal consisting of a bowl of bean rice and a cup of water to fill their stomachs.

Xue Qingyan lived in Fengyi Palace, where only the queen could live.

Although no one has lived here for many years.

However, all the palace servants who were in charge of cleaning dared not to take good care of this place.

The table was filled with delicious food.

...

...

All of Xue Qingyan's food and drink while living in Fengyi Palace was prepared according to the Queen's standards.

It was not in vain that she had followed the prince for so many years without any status and tried her best to plan for him.

"Princess, the Queen Mother is losing her temper again!"

"She's just a defeated general. What kind of trouble can she cause?"

Xue Qingyan washed her hands with floral dew. The elegant floral fragrance filled the air. The dark-brown petals stuck to her fair and delicate skin. Xue Qingyan picked them off in a very good mood and washed her hands with a silk handkerchief.

The person who spoke was her personal maid named Xi Que.

Having served her for several years, he has become her right-hand man.

"That's right, Princess. You are so smart. How can she be your opponent? Whether it's the prince or this supreme position, it's destined to be yours."

The ambition in Xue Qingyan's eyes was no longer hidden.

"If the prince's trip goes smoothly, the day he returns to Jian'an will be the day when the dynasty changes in this world."

"The prince is a child of destiny, brave and resourceful. He has countless noble families following him, and the princess offers advice. He is like a tiger with wings, and will surely succeed."

When Xiao Linshen was mentioned, Xi Que seemed happier than Xue Qingyan.

However, Xue Qingyan had already lost her original intention. She was immersed in the joy of becoming the queen and did not realize this keenly.

The magpie considerately served her food.

She was about to have dinner.

A person came in from outside the door and reported in a panic.

"Princess...Princess! His Majesty, he...he is back?"

"What?"

Xue Qingyan slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"How come?"

They had clearly formed an alliance with the Northern Hu.

As long as the Great Khan arranges his troops to successfully kill Xiao Yuqi on the way, they will hand over Liaoyuan Pass and give all the land north of Yunjiang River to Beihu as a thank you gift to solve their food shortage.

Why did Husile go back on his word?

"How many people were there with him?"

"There don't seem to be many troops, probably only three thousand elite soldiers."

"wrong."

Xue Qingyan frowned and asked, "Where is Cheng Shian? Didn't I arrange for him to guard the city gate?"

"The young master..."

The young eunuch who reported the matter hesitated.

Xue Qingyan kicked him.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly."

The young eunuch fell heavily to the ground, but did not dare to cry out in pain.

He immediately knelt down again and said, "Princess, the young master owed Manager Yu of Yu Man Lou a hundred thousand taels of silver. He couldn't pay it back, so Manager Yu... cut off his hand in the street... in the street. Now he is more outgoing than incoming, and is useless!"

"Waste, waste!"

Xue Qingyan quickly calmed down.

"Arrange the archers and proceed according to the original plan."

She wanted Xiao Yuqi to return alive or die.

Xue Qingyan looked at everything in Fengyi Palace greedily.

Only here is worthy of her.

"yes."

Xue Qingyan raised the corners of her lips.

"Someone, bring Wang up to me."

She called her "Wang" all the time, as if she had really become the queen and the empress dowager had become an abandoned child with no one to rely on.

When the Queen Mother was roughly brought into Fengyi Palace, her pair of eyes, bright as spring water, seemed to be able to spit out fire.

"Xue Qingyan, you bitch, how dare you do this to me? When Lin Shen comes back, he will definitely kill you, he will."

With a snap.

Xue Qingyan slapped the empress dowager hard on the face.

"Who do you think you are? I am the prince's legitimate wife. He loves me and cares for me. How could he kill me for a bitch like you?"

Xue Qingyan grabbed the empress dowager's hair and pulled her in front of the bronze mirror.

"Look at you now. You look old, pale, and exhausted. How can you look like you used to? You keep calling Lin Shen. Do you know that Lin Shen is my husband now, and you are just his widowed sister-in-law?"

Xue Qingyan had long wanted to teach Wang a lesson.

Does she really take herself so seriously, relying on the fact that she is a little different from others in the prince's heart?

This bitch, what right does she have?

Lin Shen can only belong to her in this life.

Xue Qingyan pushed the empress dowager hard to the ground.

"Tie her up and send her to the palace gate."

No one answered.

Xue Feiyan was panicked.

"Come here, no one listens to what I say, right?"

Still no one answered.

The Queen Mother leaned on the table and laughed madly.

"Hahaha, Xue Qingyan, accept your fate. You will never be able to defeat me in your entire life."

As she spoke, she took off the golden hairpin on her head.

She sharpened the end of the golden hairpin to an extremely sharp edge.

She was like a madman, pressing Xue Qingyan to the ground.

The sharp end of the golden hairpin scratched Xue Qingyan's delicate face.

"Bitch, didn't you seduce Ah Shen with this face? I'm going to destroy it now. Tell me, when Ah Shen comes back and sees your disgusting face, will he still like you?"

"Ah! Are you crazy?"

The two women quickly started to wrestle with each other.

Pojun had tolerated this woman Xue Qingyan for a long time.

I had been holding it in until today, and finally got the chance to come out and take a breath. I saw the Queen Mother fighting fiercely with the Regent Princess.

He wanted to raise his hand and cheer for the Queen Mother.

This trick of luring someone into a trap is very clever.

His Majesty asked him to take advantage of the situation and give Xue Qingyan the illusion that she could easily control the palace, so that she could arrange all the available manpower, and then they would catch the turtle in the jar.

None of those officials, big and small, who are in collusion with each other will be able to escape.

With the earnest expectations of the people and those loyal and righteous men, Xiao Yuqi broke open the gate of the palace.

He had a smooth journey.

All the fighting was isolated by elite soldiers and generals.

Many of Xiao Yuqi's men had already infiltrated Xue Qingyan's group.

They were wearing the same uniform, and it was impossible to tell whether the person in front of them was an enemy or a comrade.

Xue Qingyan’s people couldn’t tell the difference, but Xiao Yuqi’s people could.

In the Council Hall, Duofu reopened the tightly closed door.

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Those who saw the light of day again were in tears.

Xiao Yuqi just climbed up the last step.

The courtiers came out tremblingly to greet him.

Behind Xiao Yuqi, there seemed to be a sea of ​​corpses.
