Lu Tong's expression moved slightly.

Sure enough, Prince Rui's participation was indispensable!

"Your Majesty is sleepy, no one inside or outside the imperial city can frighten everyone, the situation before us will inevitably lead to chaos." Qin Wei continued.

"The lower officials cannot let the [-]th Regiment Battalion into the city." Lu Tong said resolutely.

He looked directly at Qin Wei, without any intention of backing down.

Qin Wei smiled, and took out a yellow scroll from his cuff.

"Holy decree!"

Lu Tong exclaimed.

He grabbed the imperial decree, opened it and read it.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, that is to order Qin Wei to obey Qin Wei's orders for all matters in the capital city and all yamen.

But after Lu Tong finished reading it, his face turned ashen.

Because this decree has not been sealed!

In other words, the imperial decree is simply a piece of waste paper.

"Your Highness wants to pass on the imperial decree!"

Qin Wei shook his head, and said: "It's not that this king falsely preached the imperial decree, but that Eunuch Lu dared not stamp it!"

"Eunuch Lu!" The pupils in Lu Tong's eyes suddenly shrank.

"Open the city gate and let the twelve regiments enter the city. This is what Eunuch Lu wants, and it's also what this king wants."

"If it's too late, it will be troublesome when the imperial troops arrive at the city of Kyoto."

Qin Wei said.

Lu Tong was still hesitant.

The imperial decree is useless, but it represents Eunuch Lu's attitude.

He didn't doubt Qin Wei on this point.

"Why did Eunuch Lu help His Highness!" he asked.

Qin Wei shook his head and said, "He's not helping me, but guarding the capital."

"As long as the twelve regiments enter the city, even if the imperial army outside the city attacks the city, they will not be able to break through the city."

"The [-]th regiment entered the city not to fight an offensive and defensive battle with them, but to tell them that it is impossible for them to break through the capital."

Lu Tong still hesitated.

Qin Wei was also a little helpless, this old man was too stubborn, he even moved out Eunuch Lu, but he still didn't let the old man compromise.

"If you need it, I can go and ask Lord Shoufu for a warrant, but I'm afraid it's too late in time!"

Qin Wei said.

In fact, Ji Yuanchen's warrant should be more effective for Lu Tong than Eunuch Lu's false edict.

However, Ji Yuanchen was also a stubborn old man, and it was not easy for Qin Wei to persuade him, so he had to settle for the next best thing and ask Eunuch Lu for help.

Although Eunuch Lu is just an eunuch, he knows Lihuang's attitude better and cares more about Lihuang's thoughts. qs

Moreover, he and Qin Wei had already reached an alliance, so it would be easier to ask him for help.

Lu Tong paced back and forth in the room several times, and finally sighed heavily.

"Your Highness, the old life of the next official is entrusted to you."

Seeing him compromise, Qin Wei was also overjoyed, "This king will not kill you."

Lu Tong said solemnly: "If His Highness wants to commit great treason, the old life of being an official is in His Highness's hands."

Only then did Qin Wei understand what he meant.

He was worried that Qin Wei would have evil intentions, but now he had to compromise.

If Qin Wei really has evil intentions, then he will put his old life in Qin Wei's hands.

To put it simply, he threatened Qin Wei with his own life.

This threat seemed very weak, but it also proved his determination.

Qin Wei didn't say much, just nodded.

He has no intention of taking over the imperial city now, he just wants to wait for Lihuang to wake up.

There is not much time left, and it is almost time for the showdown.

Qin Wei is going to find an opportunity to have a showdown with Li Huang after Li Huang wakes up.

After Lu Tong compromised, he immediately arranged for the guards from Shuntian Mansion to open the south gate of the capital, and then Li Ji led the [-]th Regiment Battalion into the city.

And Qin Wei also came to the south wall, waiting for the arrival of the forbidden army.

Chapter 200 Soldiers Approaching the City

In the imperial city, in the depressed harem.

Sea anemones shuttle between corridors and corridors at an extremely fast speed.

She was the one who gave Lihuang the Anliancao. Qin Jun forced her to enter the palace to poison Lihuang, but she knew very well that she could not poison Lihuang.

There are so many masters around Lihuang, she can't get close to her at all with her cultivation, as for poisoning the food, it's almost impossible.

The food used by Li Huang has to go through multiple inspections, if it is poisonous, it will not be able to reach Li Huang at all.

So she racked her brains to think of An Liancao.

Anliancao is not a poison, it can even be said to be a good medicine.

But a good medicine is a poison if it is not used for the right symptoms.

After taking Anliancao, one will sleep for three days. For ordinary people, sleeping for three days is not only harmless, but also allows the body to get sufficient news, relieve mental stress, and wake up feeling refreshed.

But if it is used on Lihuang, it could be fatal.

In fact, she doesn't care about Lihuang's life and death, and she doesn't want to poison Lihuang now, but she has to do it.

Now that her work has been done, she is preparing to leave the imperial city and escape from the capital at the same time.

She wanted to get out of Qin Jun's control.

She glanced around vigilantly, and after finding nothing abnormal, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the cold palace in the northernmost part of the imperial city.

The Leng Palace is the most desolate palace in the imperial city. In recent years, Emperor Li rarely even came to the harem, let alone the Leng Palace.

Today's Lenggong is a deserted palace, except for a few old eunuchs who clean up, there is hardly anyone there.

Hai Kui wants to hide in the cold palace for a while, and then find a way to leave the imperial city at night.

But just as she stepped into the cold palace, her body froze suddenly.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at the figure in front of Leng Gong, her expression changed drastically.

"Miss Sea Anemone, I've been waiting for a long time!"

The old man Huang Shan looked at her calmly.

The sea anemone froze for a while, and said, "My mission has been completed, take me back."

She knew that this Huangshan old man, his name was Zhao Heshan, and he was an innate master on Qingfu Mountain. As for why he was with Qin Jun Hunzi, she didn't know.

But obviously, facing Zhao Heshan, she had already lost the chance to escape.

Zhao Heshan took a deep look at her, and said with a light smile, "Okay, the old man will take Miss Haikui away."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the sea anemone.

Seeing him like this, Sea Anemone's muscles tensed up.

She felt the killing intent!

Killing intent from Zhao Heshan!

They want to kill me?

The sea anemone couldn't help but panic.

She didn't expect Qin Jun to kill herself. She thought that Qin Jun would be greedy for her beauty and would keep her by his side.

But she ignored Qin Jun's ambition and madness.

"I!"

She wanted to say something, but before she could say it, Zhao Heshan's body suddenly jumped forward, and a pair of withered palms stretched out towards her neck.

"The old man will send you out of here."

Zhao Heshan showed a cruel smile.

Destroy the flowers!

Seems immoral, but he likes it.

The sea anemone froze all over, and for a moment, she seemed to feel the breath of death.

This is the first time she has experienced the existence of death so closely.

It's not that she doesn't want to hide, but that she can't.

The dry palm was about to fall on her slender neck, she shuddered all over, and her whole heart fell into despair.

But at this moment, Zhao Heshan stopped suddenly.

He turned his head abruptly and looked to the side.

Not far away, a eunuch wearing a dark red round collar robe was looking at him with a smile.

The pupils in Zhao Heshan's eyes suddenly shrank.

"who!"

he asked.

The sea anemone suddenly woke up, backed up again and again, and fell to the ground in panic and fear.

"The leader of the recipient, Zhu Ji!" Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Our family knows you. Your name is Zhao Heshan. You used to work in the East Palace, and now you work for King Ning Qinjun."

Cao Zhengchun said, then looked at the sea anemone, and said, "This should be the sea anemone girl who used the lotus grass for His Majesty."

"Hehe, our family also knows about you. The plague poison of the four major castles came from you, and Hai Yunxuan, the owner of Qingfeng Island, is your father!"

"Our family thought you had escaped from the capital, but we didn't expect you to be hiding in the imperial city."

Ever since Emperor Li fell into a coma, Eunuch Lu asked someone to investigate the matter. Although the sea anemone was well hidden and the method of applying the medicine was extremely secretive, there were still some clues left, such as her identity.

The identity of the maid in the palace is her best protection, but it is also the main reason for her exposure.

Lihuang is old, and the imperial city has not recruited maids from the people for several years. Now the maids in the imperial city are basically old people. A newcomer appeared suddenly, so it is easy to investigate.

It's just that before the accident, no one went to investigate. After the accident, it is natural that the many yamen in the imperial city cannot be hidden.

The sea anemone had a bitter face, she was really miserable now.

There are wolves in front and tigers in back, no matter how you look at it, it is a dead end.

Zhao Heshan looked at Cao Zhengchun with gloomy eyes.

He knew the existence of the recipient, but he was not very clear about the specific situation inside the recipient.

Right now, he has to get rid of Cao Zhengchun, because for him and Qin Jun, Cao Zhengchun's existence is more of a threat than the sea anemone.

Although Qin Jun dared to attack Li Huang, he absolutely must not expose the matter.

Qin Wei wanted to inherit the throne in a legitimate way, so naturally he couldn't bear the crime of killing his ancestors.

Otherwise, even if he boarded the dragon chair, he would have to bear the infamy of the world, and even become the target of public criticism.

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's words fell, he flew towards Cao Zhengchun.
