The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The emperor was furious: "Are those guards all idiots? They are so vulnerable. It has only been a short time and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi have already rushed in!"

The guard said, "Those people have always obeyed Commander Yin's orders. Commander Yin is not here tonight, so their fighting power is not as good as before. They were easily dispersed. Moreover, the Princess of Cheng'an County seems to be very good at fighting!"

Chu Heyi?

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that although Chu Heyi was a woman, she was the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate and must have been exposed to all kinds of combat methods!

The emperor was extremely furious. No matter whether it was Xie Lin or Chu Heyi, they were once his subjects, but today they dared to rebel against him!

At this moment, the emperor felt a little panic in his heart.

The queen had been dragged out of the palace. When the emperor's eyes touched her, he suddenly said, "Leave the queen here, and keep her by my side!"

Everyone looked at the emperor in astonishment, even the queen. She thought that she must have been sentenced to death before Xie Lin and Chu Heyi rushed in, but now, there was a sudden turn of events?

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "I want the queen to see with her own eyes how I take down Xie Lin and Chu Heyi!"

The queen was stunned. She didn't expect that at the last moment of life and death, she was temporarily saved from death because of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi!

It was because of the child she abandoned more than 20 years ago...

Runxue stood aside and watched everything, her mind working rapidly.

She discovered that the emperor was not completely ignorant of the overall situation, and was not completely unprepared for the queen, otherwise the emperor would have been killed by the queen just now.

As for why the emperor finally left the queen behind, asking her to watch him take down Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, this was definitely just one of the reasons.

Another reason is that the queen is Xie Lin's biological mother, and the emperor has to use the queen to threaten Xie Lin to surrender at the last moment.

and also……

The emperor said that he should let Dongfang Shuo capture Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. If successful, he would enthrone Dongfang Shuo as the crown prince.

Not good! The previous emperor didn't trust the queen, the current emperor doesn't trust Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, and the future emperor will definitely not trust Dongfang Shuo and her!

Runxue suddenly understood that the emperor did this definitely not to give Dongfang Shuo the opportunity to capture Xie Lin and Chu Heyi so that he could be enthroned as the crown prince.

The emperor obviously wanted Dongfang Shuo to take her to kill Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

They killed each other, and the emperor remained firmly on the throne. He was still young, and it would not be too late to appoint another prince many years later.

Instead of being like tonight, either handing over the country to Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, or being forced to enthrone Dongfang Shuo or the eighth prince as the crown prince.

He is the emperor and has been on the throne for twenty or thirty years. Everything is under his control. How could he allow others to force him?

Thinking of this, Runxue broke out in a cold sweat on her back and her face turned slightly pale. She swayed slightly and leaned towards Concubine Zhen beside her.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Zhen immediately supported her and exclaimed, "What happened to Princess Cheng?"

Runxue leaned close to her ear and whispered one word: "Go!"

Dongfang Shuo is a prince, and now that Xie Lin and Chu Heyi have come to kill him, he definitely cannot escape. For now, she can only leave alone.

The emperor, Dongfang Shuo and others looked at her.

Runxue said weakly: "Father, I feel very uncomfortable. The doctor said that in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is unstable. Maybe that's why I feel uncomfortable."

Concubine Zhen was also anxious: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cheng is pregnant. If she stays here, I'm afraid she won't be able to help. Instead, she will cause more trouble. Why don't we let Concubine Cheng and Lan'er retreat to the harem to avoid the limelight for a while?"

The emperor glanced at Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo hurriedly said, "Father, what Empress Zhen said makes sense. Xie Lin and Chu Heyi are about to attack us. Xue'er and Eighth Brother are here. Not only will it not be helpful for us, but it will also require us to be distracted to protect them. It is better to let them hide in the harem for the time being."

Concubine Zhen said: "I will stay here and accompany the emperor. No matter what happens, I swear to follow the emperor until death."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Concubine Zhen will stay, and Concubine Cheng and the Eighth Prince will temporarily retreat to the harem to avoid danger."

Concubine Zhen's face turned slightly pale. The emperor really didn't care about her life. He still wanted to keep her by his side at such a critical moment. Was he probably ready to sacrifice her at any time?

She looked at her son deeply and reluctantly.

Perhaps, this was the last time she saw her son.

The eighth prince cried and refused to leave. Runxue's persuasion was useless. In the end, it was the nanny and the eunuch who took him away by force.

Before leaving, Runxue also walked up to Dongfang Shuo, straightened his clothes, and then threw herself into his arms.

She whispered something in Dongfang Shuo's ear, but only Dongfang Shuo heard it and no one else knew.

Dongfang Shuo stroked her face with deep affection: "Xue'er, don't worry. I will definitely capture Xie Lin and the others and return to you alive. I also want to see our child born safely."

"Your Highness, I believe in you!" Runxue said, "You must protect your father and don't let him down. You are the prince of Daqi and His Highness Chengwang in the eyes of the people. You can only bleed and never retreat!"

Dongfang Shuo nodded heavily and said "hmm", and Runxue reluctantly followed the Eighth Prince away.

After they left, Dongfang Shuo stood in front of the emperor and said, "Father, please give me a team. I will go and capture Xie Lin and Chu Heyi right away!"

The emperor immediately assigned him a team of 2,000 men to fight against Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

There was also a team of a thousand people who were on hand to protect the emperor's safety.

The Empress and Concubine Zhen were both left with the Emperor.

At this point, the emperor simply decided not to go anywhere and stayed in the East Palace, waiting for news from the front.

The Crown Prince Dongfang Ye had been lying silently on the couch. At this moment, no one cared about him.

It was late at night, and the darkness spread like ink between the sky and the earth, but the palace was brightly lit inside and outside.

The newly grown tender leaves and the newly bloomed flowers in spring were spilt with countless blood, so red that it was blinding. Corpses fell one after another in the dim light, and no one knew who they were in whose dream.

A cup of tea passed.

A stick of incense has passed.

Half an hour passed...

During this period, more or less news reached the emperor's ears, all of which were bad news.

And now, Yao An rushed in, looking anxious and pale. He knelt in front of the emperor, sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers led by Shu Xiao bypassed the Eastern Palace and attacked behind His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and his 2,000-man army were attacked from both sides by Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and General Shu Xiao's troops, and have been completely defeated.

"Your Majesty, please leave this place for now and find a safe place to discuss further!"

The emperor was stunned and his face turned pale. Yao An almost said directly, your throne is no longer safe, run for your life first.

The emperor didn't want to run for his life. He was the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the master of everything, and he also had the queen, an important chess piece, in his hand... Although he thought so, he still slowly stood up and walked out.

"Where is the emperor going? But I am too late to save you." Amid the flash of swords and shadows, Xie Lin's voice was as cold as a spring hitting a stone.

The emperor looked up and saw Xie Lin and Chu Heyi standing in front of him.
