Chapter 224 Palace Change
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan didn't say anything, Xiao Jinghe moved closer, kissed her flatteringly, and begged her to help him.
If you haven't tasted this kind of thing, you won't think much about it. Now that you have tasted the sweetness, you just want more.
Yu Qinghuan looked at him like this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I heard you haven't slept much in a few days, aren't you sleepy?"
Xiao Jinghe shook his head repeatedly, "Not sleepy!"
Not only was he not sleepy, his eyes were bright and if it wasn't for the fact that it was not the right month yet, he could have tortured Yu Qinghuan several times.
Seeing Xiao Jinghe's face full of dissatisfaction, Yu Qinghuan thought that the old emperor would not live long, and when he ascended the throne and filled his harem, things would probably not be like now. By then, she and he would probably no longer have any contact.
Maybe these two days will be the last time I spend with him.
Thinking of this, the way she looked at Xiao Jinghe changed, and her attitude became indulgent. It was just one more time, not asking for the stars in the sky, so she just satisfied him.
After all, we may never see each other again.
Xiao Jinghe was just excited, just like a puppy scrambling for food after tasting something sweet.
Late at night, the stubborn Xiao Jinghe was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep. Yu Qinghuan was still awake. She lay beside him, supporting her head with one hand. In the dim candlelight, she looked at the person in front of her seriously for the first time.
In fact, she had been living quite well in the palace during this period. Xiao Jinghe had never let those gossips reach her ears, nor had he let her feel wronged.
Xiao Jinghe is a very good person, but this kindness is not enough to make her wear a wedding dress and repeat the same mistakes.
Yu Qinghuan lowered her head slightly and kissed the sleeping person next to her on the face, "Xiao Jinghe..."
Bye now.
...
Two days later, King Rui's army was at the gates of the city. The general guarding the gates turned against his own side, opened the city gates, welcomed King Rui into the capital, and then attacked the palace directly.
Upon learning of this, Sang Ru was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing Yu Qinghuan still calmly enjoying her meal, she was astonished, "Miss, why aren't you worried?"
Now the troops of King Rui have rushed towards the palace, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet. The girl is pregnant. If anything happens to the prince, they will all be finished!
Seeing that she was so anxious that she hadn't eaten anything all day, Yu Qinghuan comforted her, "Since Cheng Gongjin has arranged everything, nothing will happen."
If it was just a guess before, the fact that Xiao Jinghe had pestered him for it twice the night before confirmed that everything that happened today was just a trap to lure Prince Rui to the capital to die.
Then why should I worry?
Despite this, Sang Ru was still worried and prepared to go out to see what was going on. If anything was wrong, he would take the girl and hide.
As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she was knocked unconscious and fell at the gate.
Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly upon hearing the noise and called out, "Sang Ru?"
Seeing no response, she had a hunch that something was wrong, so she immediately stood up and walked out. She saw Sang Ru collapsed at the door of the palace. Before she could call for help, a figure appeared in front of her. The familiar face reminded her of the night she entered the palace.
Yu Qinghuan's pupils suddenly constricted, "It's you!"
At this time, everyone in the hall had been knocked unconscious silently.
The man walked towards Yu Qinghuan. Yu Qinghuan subconsciously stepped back. Suddenly, she felt a pain on the back of her neck. Her consciousness became blurred and she fell into the arms of the man who appeared behind her at some point.
The two looked at each other.
"Isn't it bad to knock someone out?" What if the master comes back and questions him?
The other person obviously had no such concerns. "The master said, just take the person away."
For him, knowing that the person who fainted was unconscious could save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he would have to waste time explaining things.
...
At the same time, the heavy palace door was slammed open. Accompanied by the clanging of armor and the sound of hurried footsteps, King Rui led the rebels, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and poured into the hall like a tide.
The shining helmets and armor, the terrifying flashes of swords, instantly surrounded the entire hall. The panicked officials were pushed into the corner, trembling like lambs to be slaughtered.
King Rui held a blood-stained sword in his hand, his face showing a long-suppressed ecstasy and a sense of satisfaction that his wish was about to be fulfilled.
Finally, he stopped in the center of the hall, looked up at Xiao Jinghe above, with his mouth wide open and arrogant.
"Brother, did you ever think that this day would come?"
He tried to see the embarrassment of a loser on his brother's face and wanted to see him beg for mercy.
But at this time, Xiao Jinghe, who was standing on the imperial steps, had an unusually calm expression, deep eyes, and was very composed.
"The Emperor is critically ill and has been thinking about you, my second brother. Why don't you go see him first?"
Prince Rui sneered, "It would be best if that old immortal is gone. It's time for someone else to sit on the throne."
"Xiao Jinghe, if you give up resistance, I might even let you die more easily for the sake of our brotherhood!"
The voice echoed in the hall, full of naked provocation and contempt.
He was waiting, waiting for Xiao Jinghe to kneel down and beg for mercy. He had waited for this scene for too long!
However, Xiao Jinghe remained calm, even looking at Prince Rui with disdain. He said in a deep voice, "Father, did you hear that? This is the good son you've always dreamed of. He only has eyes for the throne and calls you an old immortal."
Just as he finished speaking, two eunuchs pushed the old emperor out from the back hall.
At this time, the old emperor was exhausted and sat on a chair with a pale face and bulging eyes, which was really scary.
Prince Rui's expression suddenly changed, but it was only for a moment, and he still looked fearless. Now that he held the military power, it would only take a moment for him to ascend to the throne.
Thinking of this, he said with a mocking expression, "Xiao Jinghe, do you think you can threaten me by holding my father hostage?"
Xiao Jinghe looked at him coldly, "Second brother, which eye did you see me holding our father hostage?"
Prince Rui sneered, "Xiao Jinghe, after today, everyone in the world will know that you intended to regicide and rebel, and I led the troops here to save my father, but I didn't expect that my father had been killed by you."
"I will avenge my father and kill you right here!"
