Chapter 1057 Dilemma
Baoqin and Eunuch Chang were originally worried that the imperial concubine would be seduced by her beauty, but now it seems that they were worrying for nothing.
There is no such thing as lust in the mind of the imperial concubine!
The only thing in this world that can fascinate her is food!
Zhao Xian followed the imperial concubine's instructions and gave Yu Jiu a severe beating.
Yu Jiu was beaten to death. His originally handsome face had become extremely miserable, especially the left half of his face, which was swollen and red after being slapped by Xiao Xixi, like a big red steamed bun.
He was dragged before the imperial concubine again by Zhao Xian and handed over to her for inspection.
Xiao Xi was very satisfied with Yu Jiu's miserable condition at this time.
She even specially asked someone to bring a glass mirror and pointed it towards Yu Jiu, so that he could take a good look at how scary he looked now.
Yu Jiu curled his lips: "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that she wanted to cooperate with me? Is this your attitude towards cooperation?"
Xiao Xixi: "I have shown my utmost sincerity, but you are the one who is shameless."
Yu Jiu looked at her steadily for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
If it were any other time, his smile would have been stunningly charming, but now he had a pig-like face, and smiling like that would only make people feel funny.
He uttered a word slowly.
"Your Highness will definitely regret this."
Xiao Xixi: "Are you threatening me?"
Yu Jiu: "Tianmen has already arranged everything. According to my father's original plan, he intended to wait until after the New Year to take action, but what you did in Fufeng City disrupted my father's rhythm. In order to avoid any complications, he will definitely take action in advance."
When he said this, his tone gradually became cheerful, as if he was looking forward to the good show that was to come.
"My Lady, you don't have much time left."
Xiao Xixi's eyes sank: "What exactly is Tianmen's plan?"
Yu Jiu tilted his head: "Guess."
Xiao Xixi: "Do you think I can't guess it?"
Yu Jiu said calmly: "Since the Imperial Concubine can guess it, why bother asking me?"
Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he had determined that Xiao Xixi could not guess anything.
Xiao Xixi: "Tianmen has been dormant for so many years, constantly recruiting soldiers and horses. It is obvious that they have big plans."
Yu Jiu did not comment on her words.
Xiao Xixi: "I guess you guys want to rebel."
Yu Jiu's eyes flashed.
Everyone in the room gasped in shock at these words.
Tianmen is actually going to rebel!
Xiao Xixi: "The so-called old immortal is simply an ambitious man. Tianmen is a tool he uses to realize his ambitions, and you are all pawns in his hands."
Yu Jiu raised his head and looked at her steadily.
"Not only us, but you too, are all pawns in his hands."
Xiao Xixi: "Are you admitting that Tianmen is going to rebel?"
Yu Jiu: "It's already this time. It doesn't matter whether I admit it or not. You will know the truth soon anyway."
…
Yu Jiu was not exaggerating.
Early the next morning, an urgent report was delivered to the palace and handed to Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi unfolded the urgent report and quickly read the contents.
The urgent report said that Youmen County was attacked by rebels, and the county magistrate of Youmen County was assassinated at home before he could organize people to resist. Not only that, but all of the county magistrate's family of more than a dozen people were killed by the assassin.
After the rebels entered the county town, anyone who dared to resist was killed without mercy, no matter who they were.
The bodies of those people were hung on the city walls, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
The people in the city were trembling with fear and no one dared to resist.
Only one official broke through the encirclement and escaped from Youmen County with serious injuries. He delivered the news to the nearby post station, and then the postman rushed the urgent report to Shengjing.
Although the urgent report did not mention who the rebel leader was, Xiao Xixi understood everything as long as she connected it to what Yu Jiu said yesterday.
That group of rebels must have come from Tianmen!
The leader of the rebels is the leader of Tianmen.
The guy called the old immortal!
Xiao Xixi ordered someone to bring a map.
She quickly found the location of Youmen County on the map.
Youmen County is not far from Shengjing City and it would take at most three days to get there.
These three days are the last time for the court to respond.
Xiao Xixi immediately issued an imperial decree in the name of the emperor, ordering the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp stationed near Shengjing City to stop the rebels. At the same time, he issued emergency military orders to several county governments near Youmen County, ordering them to fully cooperate with the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp.
After writing the imperial edict, she picked up the jade seal and stamped it on the imperial edict. She also took out the tiger talisman that Luo Qinghan carried with him, dipped the tiger talisman in ink, and stamped it forcefully on the end of the imperial edict.
Two imperial edicts were quickly sent out of the palace.
The generals of the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp received the imperial edict almost at the same time.
When they learned that there was a rebel rebellion, they did not dare to waste time and immediately gathered their troops and headed straight for Youmen County.
Soldiers from two battalions were dispatched together, and such a big movement could not be concealed at all. The news soon reached the ears of the cabinet ministers.
They are all old foxes who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, and their sense of smell and brains are very sharp.
They thought of the urgent report that was hastily sent to the palace this morning, and immediately guessed that something big might have happened.
While they sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the White Tiger Camp and the Vermillion Bird Camp, they also handed in signs into the palace, requesting an audience with the emperor.
Xiao Xixi once again received a plaque sent to the palace by cabinet ministers.
She was not surprised by the result.
When she issued the order to mobilize the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp, it was bound to be revealed that the rebellion would be revealed.
Besides, she never thought of hiding it.
Tianmen has been dormant for so many years and has been constantly recruiting soldiers and horses. Its strength cannot be underestimated.
Even though they lost their stronghold in Fufeng City, they still have other cards up their sleeves.
Now that they have rebelled, they must have something to rely on. It is impossible to completely wipe out the rebels by relying solely on the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp.
The main function of the White Tiger Camp and the Suzaku Camp is to delay the pace of the rebels' attack and buy time for the imperial court.
Now that the emperor is in a coma, he can only rely on the advice of his court officials to deal with the rebellion.
The biggest problem facing Xiao Xixi at this time is how to explain to the court officials that the emperor is in a coma?
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Eunuch Chang couldn't help but feel worried.
"My lady, are you okay?"
Xiao Xixi smiled bitterly and said, "I feel like I've been forced into a dead end. I can neither advance nor retreat."
If she told the civil and military officials that the emperor was in a coma at this critical juncture, it would be like pouring a basin of water into a boiling oil pan. She didn't even dare to think about what drastic consequences it would cause.
But things have come to this point and there is no way to hide it any longer.
Eunuch Chang didn't know what to do and could only try his best to comfort her.
"Let's think about it again. Think about it carefully. There will be a way."
