Chapter 168 Continuous Knocking on the Door
After watching for a long time, not even a single fish escaped and ran in.
Those people outside seemed to have finally noticed something was wrong, and there was no sound for a long time.
Xi Que was even afraid that her queen would be bored, so she brewed a large pot of fruit tea to share with everyone: "I added honey to it, it's sweet!"
Doctor Yan swallowed nervously. What time is it now? Why are the people in Hexi Palace not in a hurry? They still have the mind to drink fruit tea?
Jiang Xinyue told him with her actual actions. Not only did she drink fruit tea, she also ate a few cakes to suppress her surprise.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The door of Hexi Palace was slammed, and there were cries for help from outside: "Empress Zhen! Empress Zhen, please open the door. I am a maidservant of Rong Guipin in Jingren Palace. I came out to get food for my queen, and was chased here by the rebels. Please save my life, Empress Zhen!"
Knowing that she and Rong Guipin had joined forces to send Shufei to the west half a year ago, the relationship between the two was quite harmonious. She deliberately made Rong Guipin's maid knock on the door. It looked like Concubine Liang's trick. She was used to diverting troubles. If the matter was exposed, she could push Rong Guipin out as a scapegoat.
Jiang Xinyue shook her head and ignored it.
After a while, screams were heard outside the gate, but they were very short, as if someone had killed her before she could finish her words.
It was quiet for a moment, and then someone knocked on the door again: "Empress Zhen, help me! My mistress came out to digest her food after dinner. I saw fire and sounds of fighting from a distance. Only you are not affected. Please be kind and save my mistress!" She
didn't even introduce herself. She was vague and cunning. If Jiang Xinyue was killed after opening the palace gate, no one would know who killed her.
This move looked like Concubine De.
Jiang Xinyue still ignored it.
But this time the person didn't leave, but continued to knock on the door: "Empress Zhen, I beg you, can you please open the door?"
The voice was shrill, a strange voice that Jiang Xinyue had never heard before. It was indeed Concubine De's person, as always so flawless.
"Empress Zhen, you watched me die without saving me. There were guards protecting me inside, and you were unwilling to let me and my master go in for shelter. Aren't you afraid that we will come to seek revenge on you after we die? How can a woman with such a vicious heart like you deserve the emperor's exclusive favor? Open the door quickly! Open the door! Jiang Xinyue! I beg you to open the door, they are coming to kill us! Open the door! Open the door... "
The crazy voice also stopped abruptly.
If he dies, he dies!
What does it have to do with her?
These people are really funny. After becoming ghosts, they don't seek revenge on the people who killed them, but go after her, who has nothing to do with them.
Their brains are too stupid, so it's no surprise that they were killed.
She doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, nor is she afraid of them. Even if a ghost comes to her, she wants the ghost to bring her foot washing water.
Suddenly, there was no sound outside the courtyard wall. The rebels seemed to know that they couldn't attack Hexi Palace and had dispersed.
"It seems they left?"
Doctor Yan stretched out his hand to open the door, but Jiang Xinyue grabbed him and said, "The army is not tired of deception. I don't think they will give up so easily."
Especially General Ye.
I'm afraid he had received a letter from Concubine Ye to kill her.
I heard that during this period of time, her cheap father criticized all the ministers who advised the emperor to be fair and just in the court.
General Ye was the first to be hit, and he was the one criticized the most by her cheap father.
If he succeeds in his coup, the Jiang family will be the first to be exterminated.
What can I say?
I hope Emperor Xuanwu will fight back!
Otherwise, she will have to consider trying to conquer Old Man Ye or his sons again.
She must become a favorite concubine!
Of course, her first choice is still Emperor Xuanwu. After all, it is tiring for her to go through the same path to conquer Emperor Xuanwu again.
Controlling people's hearts is not such a simple thing. The energy and concentration required are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Even if she is a psychology major, it takes a lot of time and energy to analyze a person thoroughly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The knocking on the door was much quieter this time, but the words that came out were shocking: "Empress Zhen, the emperor... the emperor has been shot by an arrow, and is in critical condition... the emperor asked his servant to summon you to accompany him."
Jiang Xinyue laughed out loud and said to the frightened Imperial Physician Yan: "Do they think I'm stupid? They come one after another because they are afraid that I will go out. They want to remind me that they are lying to me, right?"
Imperial Physician Yan blinked, but didn't react yet: "What do you mean? Is the emperor okay? Why would they lie to the Empress?"
Jiang Xinyue: There is really nothing to say to an honest person.
She gave a fake smile: "It's nothing, Doctor Yan, please continue!"
The Hall of Supreme Harmony -
the hall was in a mess and filled with blood.
Ye Gaoliang was surrounded by guards, wearing a dragon robe, walking briskly, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
Someone was indeed shot by an arrow, but it was not the emperor, but Concubine Rong.
When the arrow just came, there were people on both sides, and Emperor Xuanwu could not dodge it. Just when he thought he would be hit by the arrow, Concubine Rong flew over and the arrow pierced Concubine Rong's shoulder blade.
But what surprised Ye Gaoliang was that it was so late, and Pei Zhongshu and another military minister were still in the hall.
If it were normal times, he would think that this must be a trap and he must not act rashly.
But people...
when the inner desire reaches its peak, the throne is suddenly within reach. As long as he kills the emperor, he will be the supreme ruler. Why would he care about these small details?
"Father!"
The noble lady Ye, who was squatting in the corner and wearing the clothes of a palace maid, finally dared to show up: "Where is that bitch Jiang Xinyue?"
Ye Gaoliang didn't care about the "ant" that he could kill with one hand, and laughed: "Don't worry, my son, I have asked the guards to catch her. When she falls into your hands, you can humiliate her however you want."
Ye Jieyu thought of the feces vengeance and gritted her teeth and said: "I will immerse her in the toilet and drown her and the evil obstacles in her stomach alive."
Only by dying in the cesspool can she vent her anger and atone for her shame.
For this, she had asked someone to find the largest toilet: "Remember, collect all the feces from the palace maids and eunuchs. I want to watch that bastard die with my own eyes."
Emperor Xuanwu tightened his fingers around Concubine Rong and looked at Concubine Ye as if she were looking at a dead person.
By now, Concubine Ye also felt that her father was about to ascend to a high position, and she was not afraid of exposing her true nature.
She sneered and glared at Emperor Xuanwu: "What are you looking at, you stinky man? Do you really think that I love you to the point of going crazy? There are so many good men in the world, do you think I only love you, a rotten cucumber? I came to the palace just to steal your palace defense map. Being your concubine is not as good as being a princess. My father has made great military achievements. The dragon throne under your buttocks, Shen Ye, was originally won by my Ye family."
The Ye family has been generals for generations, and they have indeed made great contributions to the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, from today on, the only thing left for the Ye family is a name that will be cursed for all eternity.
