There is nothing wrong with my background!
God knows, in the past few days, Min Huang heard the words "back then" in the hearts of Concubine Xie and Queen Mother Wang, and he imagined all kinds of bloody scenes in the harem.
He might have thought of things like "stealing a dragon and switching a phoenix" and "using someone else as a substitute" that he didn't even dare to write about in the storybooks.
To this end, he also activated the Embroidered Uniform Guard instead of another force - the Shadow Guard.
The late emperor left Min Huang with two forces—the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Shadow Guard.
Both belong only to the emperor, but there are certain differences between them.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard is more official, and the Embroidered Uniform Envoys are spread throughout the Dajing Dynasty.
The Shadow Guard, just like his name suggests, is as elusive and unpredictable as a shadow.
They are more secretive and are the emperor's death squad.
There are not many of them, but they are all loyal.
However, they were all trained by the previous emperor, and Min Huang could not guarantee that they would be absolutely loyal to him.
"To whom do they owe their allegiance, the son of the late emperor, or Min Huang and Min Jiulang?"
There is also a difference between the two.
If Min Huang had not heard the word "back then" from Concubine Xie and Queen Mother Wang, he would not have had such worries.
But he heard it and came up with many absurd speculations.
Min Huang has to be on guard!
In case there was any problem with his background, he even sent the late emperor's most trusted shadow guard to investigate.
Haha, Min Huang dared to bet that those shadow guards probably wanted him, a man with mixed royal blood, to die more than the court officials and the world.
[Thank goodness! I'm not some bastard! I'm truly Concubine Xie's biological child!]
Min Huang secretly rejoiced.
But soon, he realized: I never thought that one day I would be so happy because I was sure that he was my mother's son!
You know, Min Huang still has some complaints about his mother, Concubine Xie, who is capable of making trouble.
But now——
Sitting in the carriage, Min Huang closed his eyes to hide the self-mockery and bitter smile that flashed across his eyes.
The spacious Suzaku Street had already been cleared on both sides.
Rows of armored soldiers stood guard on both sides like iron towers.
The large army slowly walked out of the capital and arrived at Ci'en Temple on the outskirts of the city.
The official road from the capital to Ci'en Temple had long been paved with loess and sprinkled with clean water, and the villagers on both sides of the official road and even nearby had been cleared out.
This is the standard procedure for distinguished people to travel, in order to prevent "accidents".
Min Huang did not use the emperor's palanquin, but he also brought enough eunuchs and Jinwu guards.
Even Concubine Xie has enough manpower.
According to common sense, it is impossible for anyone to rush forward, let alone an assassin.
Unfortunately, this is not a normal ancient world, but a fictional world derived from an online novel.
Most importantly, the advancement of the plot requires "surprises"!
Just as the convoy was about to arrive at the gate of Ci'en Temple, there was some commotion in the convoy behind.
"Oh no! A wild boar has come down the mountain!"
"Quick! Protect the emperor!"
"Shoot! Shoot that beast!"
“…It’s coming!”
After a brief panic, the guards in helmets and armor became busy.
When it comes to protecting the emperor, they are professionals.
However, the power of the "plot" is extremely strong.
He was obviously a sharpshooter in the army, yet he managed to fly out by brushing against the wild boar's bristles.
Although a group of people acted swiftly, the mad wild boar still ran all the way and rushed directly to Concubine Xie's carriage.
bump!
The wild boar hit the horses, and one of the two horses pulling the cart was killed instantly.
The other horse was startled and roared in fear, its whole body stood up, and its two front hooves kept kicking in the air.
"not good!"
"The horse is startled!"
"Quick! Stop that horse!"
“…Help, hurry up, the Concubine is still inside!”
When Min Huang pushed Zhou Shouyuan's dissuasion aside, got off the carriage quickly, and tried to rush to his mother's carriage, he saw a group of people in panic, and the frightened horse was dragging the body of its companion and a luxurious carriage, galloping towards the other side.
"Mother!" Min Huang was so frightened that he screamed loudly.
And in the speeding carriage, intermittent cries of Concubine Xie were heard—
"Help! Help!"
"Jiulang, come to me quickly! I don't want to die!"
"Your Majesty! No! You are the Son of Heaven, and you are responsible for the entire world. How can you take such a risk so easily?"
The chief eunuch Zhou Shouyuan crawled to Min Huang's side and hugged Min Huang's thighs tightly.
He tried desperately to dissuade Min Huang, and even shouted at the guards: "Why don't you go and save them?"
"If anything happens to the Concubine Dowager, you will all be buried with her!"
In fact, Zhou Shouyuan didn't need to remind them, as everyone knew that if anything happened to Concubine Xie under their protection, they would all be implicated.
Some people stayed behind to protect Min Huang, while the others hurriedly chased after the frightened horse.
The frightened horse dragged a pile of burdens, but seemed to be unaware of fatigue and pain, and rushed towards the cliff frantically...
