Chapter 290 Rebellion
Jiang Xianhao paused here.
She suddenly took out a box from her arms.
Emperor Rongcheng looked over and saw Jiang Xianhao take out a white jade pendant from the box.
His pupils shrank.
This is... the jade pendant that he broke that day.
He was still confused when he saw Jiang Xianhao frowning.
"This is the jade pendant you gave me when I met you for the third time. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, but it broke on its own."
"It took me a lot of effort to stick it together."
Emperor Rongcheng pointed at the jade pendant and spoke with a trembling voice.
"You said I gave you this jade pendant?"
Jiang Xianhao nodded.
"Yes, you forgot, I told you when you met me for the third time and helped the prince deliver this jade pendant to his wife.
I treated it as a gift from you, and even used it as an excuse to drag you along with me for the entire day."
After Jiang Xianhao finished speaking, he smiled, as if he was still recalling what happened that day, his eyes full of sweetness and happiness.
Emperor Rongcheng seemed to be nailed to the spot.
It turns out that this jade pendant represents him!
Emperor Rongcheng now feels heartbroken whenever he thinks of the sadness in Jiang Xianhao's eyes when he broke the jade pendant that day.
He suddenly hated himself.
I hate myself. How could I have forgotten such an important thing?
He trembled and spoke out.
"Oh, I...I..."
He had no idea how to explain it, but Jiang Xianhao blocked his mouth and continued, "Don't say anything yet. Listen to me."
"Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to tell you when I sober up."
He said, and looked at Shen Wanshan’s face carefully again.
“Shen Wanshan, Shen Wanshan!”
"You know, Li Wenci and I have always been friends. There has never been any romantic relationship between us, and the woman he likes has always been someone else."
Jiang Xianhao said this and drank another glass of wine.
"I don't know if you've ever seen her, but her name is Fu Shiyu. She's a very, very powerful and extraordinary woman."
"I told her that I like you, and she said that you are my destined person, and you are destined to be the emperor of Dacheng."
"But what I didn't tell her was that I had already decided on you at that time.
No matter what you become in the future, no matter whether you succeed or not, even if you fail in your rebellion, I will die with you."
"Li Wenci discovered my thoughts, so he ordered people to watch me in secret.
Finally, after confirming your success, he personally sent me to you."
Jiang Xianhao said this and drank another glass of wine.
She seemed to be drunk, her voice became unclear, and the person in front of her had a few more shadows.
She smiled and held out her hand.
Her fingers fell on Emperor Rongcheng's face, and she could no longer hold back her tears, which burst out directly.
"Shen Wanshan, I really like you. I like you so much that I can selfishly ignore Li Wenci's death just to be with you."
"But you...but why are you..."
Before Jiang Xianhao could finish his words, the hand that was on Emperor Rong Cheng's face slowly fell, and he collapsed weakly on the table.
Emperor Rongcheng reached out his hand immediately, wanting to grab her hand, but he caught nothing.
He sat there woodenly.
He looked ahead and then at Jiang Xianhao, who was lying on the table and already drunk.
Suddenly I felt that everything I did in the past few years was a joke.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down, just like his mood at the moment.
He stretched out his hands to hug Jiang Xianhao back, but found that his hands were shaking.
“Snap—”
He slapped himself in the face.
How could he be worthy of hugging her?
How could he be worthy of touching her again!
He only needed to think about how he had misunderstood her and neglected her over the years.
When I thought of the scene when Jiang Xianhao kept explaining to me, I felt a piercing pain in my heart.
He didn't even dare to imagine how much pain Jiang Xianhao must be in at that time.
And at this time in Tiandu City.
The officers and soldiers who were guarding the city gate vaguely heard some noise.
They immediately climbed onto the platform to check the situation, but were suddenly attacked from behind.
Soon, the city gate opened.
A large number of troops strode into Tiandu in the night.
The uniform footsteps are particularly obvious in the dark night.
Some people heard the noise and stuck their heads out. After seeing the soldiers in uniform, they were so scared that they immediately shrank back and closed the door immediately.
Yong'an Marquis Gu Wei sat high on his horse, looking around with a look of determination and determination to win.
Behind him was Gu Nansheng, who was also sitting high on his horse.
The soldiers at the palace gate heard the noise from afar and looked over immediately. After seeing the large number of officers and soldiers, they were so scared that they took several steps back and ran back crawling.
"Someone is plotting a rebellion. Someone is plotting a rebellion."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword pierced his chest.
Gu Wei'ang put away his sword and immediately gave the order.
"rush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward.
The soldiers guarding the gate quickly closed the palace gate and rushed to the palace to report the news as soon as possible.
Emperor Rongcheng carried Jiang Xianhao to the bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Xianhao's pale face, and felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Jiang Xianhao suddenly frowned and spoke.
"pain……"
She muttered with a frown.
"Wanshan...I...it hurts so much..."
“It hurts so much…”
The almost whispering voice made Emperor Rongcheng feel even more distressed.
At this time, Dexi's anxious voice was heard outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Dexi ran over in a hurry and fell to the ground in his anxiety.
Emperor Rongcheng frowned, afraid of waking Jiang Xianhao up, and immediately went out with a frown.
"What are you clamoring about?"
Dexi got up from the ground and screamed.
"Your Majesty, this is bad. Prince Rui has rebelled!"
Outside the city, after many days of sleepless journey, Chen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun finally left the territory of Jizhou.
"When daybreak comes, we will be in Tiandu."
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun, who looked exhausted, with a face full of pity.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but stretch.
"When I get back, I will definitely sleep for three days and three nights."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Tiandu City ahead, tightened their grip on their horses, and galloped away again.
At this time, outside the palace, Princess Rongyang, holding a token, and Jingtan were galloping on the streets of Tiandu.
As early as when Gu Weiang entered the city, the spy who had been guarding Tiandu immediately sent a signal.
After seeing the signal, Jingtan did not hesitate. She first notified Jiang Xianhao, and then immediately left the palace and went to the military camp.
But she didn't know what went wrong, she was stopped by the guards and couldn't leave the palace at all.
At the critical moment, Jingtan gritted his teeth and went to find Princess Rongyang, asking her to send him out of the palace.
However, after Princess Rongyang learned what had happened, she immediately took her out of the palace through the small door used to transport food from the imperial kitchen.
