pet queen [rebirth]

The palace is in chaos.

King Duan's forces invaded the imperial city, except for the guards who were confronting the rebels outside the palace gate, there were eunuchs and court ladies fleeing everywhere.

"Quick! Go find Yuxi!" Xiao Qian heard someone say.

Xiao Qian ignored these people. Commander Huang led the troops to defend the gate of the palace. Taking advantage of their soldiers facing each other, Xiao Qian jumped over them and rushed into the palace with a hoof.

"King Ning stay!" Commander Huang shouted from behind.

"Prince Duan's army will arrive soon," Xiao Qian said without turning his head, "I advise Commander Huang to take care of himself first!"

Commander Huang hesitated again and again, but still ignored Xiao Qian. He gritted his teeth and continued to guard the palace gate together with the Forbidden Army Gate.

Xiao Qian entered the Meridian Gate without getting off his horse, crossed the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and stopped outside the Hall of Mingxin.

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground and soldiers clashing came from behind. Xiao Qian knew that King Duan had already brought people to attack. The current guards of the imperial city were no match for the armored and helmeted Zhenyuan army. The Zhenyuan Army is actually only a small part.

"King Ning stay here." Su Mingchen was stationed outside Mingxin Hall with a team of guards, when he saw Xiao Qian approaching on horseback, he drew his sword to stop him.

Xiao Qian got off his horse, looked at him and said, "Is Commander Su trying to stop me?"

Su Mingchen looked at him and said: "You are not allowed to go in without the emperor's permission!"

"Commander Su, King Duan's troops are about to arrive," Xiao Qian continued with the same rhetoric, "If King Duan rules the world, you alone will not be able to protect the Su family."

Su Mingchen gritted his teeth: "Even so, monarchs and ministers are righteous, and the emperor is respected. Su Mingchen can't be that kind of unfaithful and unrighteous person!"

"The sky is about to change," Xiao Qian said indifferently, "Master Su, the son is in the hands of the emperor, and he is still waiting for me to save him."

Su Mingchen was taken aback.

The voice of the rebel army behind Xiao Qian was getting closer and closer, Su Mingchen hesitated again and again, and finally retreated: "Prince Ning, I hope you can live up to the trust of the world!"

Xiao Qian sneered, flung his sleeves and stepped on the steps leading to Mingxin Hall.

The palace guards gradually gathered outside the Mingxin Hall. After the rebel army entered the palace, they set up arrows, and the sound of arrow feathers piercing the air was everywhere.

Xiao Qian pushed open the gate of Mingxin Palace, and isolated the noise outside the palace.

Mingxin Palace was quiet and quiet, not even a single palace attendant was seen, Xiao Qian heard Emperor Xuan Cheng's voice beside the dragon bed: "Is it Qian'er?"

Xiao Qian said in a low voice: "Father."

Emperor Xuancheng sighed: "It was a mistake in the end."

Xiao Qian walked slowly to the dragon bed, and heard Emperor Xuancheng say: "I thought I could spare some time to pave the way for Rui'er and give Qi'er a slow process of acceptance. In the end, it's still too late..."

Xiao Qian stood beside the bed and said: "Father, do you know the reason?"

Emperor Xuancheng looked at him with cloudy eyes due to his serious illness.

Xiao Qian said: "Because you are ruthless and only love yourself."

"You!" Emperor Xuan Cheng choked on himself and coughed.

"Among the several princes, the elder brother is probably the one who resembles you the most," Xiao Qian said, "It's a pity that he was a bit unlucky, and you grew up favored by him, forgetting that there are always cannibals in this palace. "

Emperor Xuancheng did not speak.

In the past, he really felt that Yuan Hua was somewhat similar to himself in some aspects, and it was not entirely because of Tang Xiang that he had a special preference for him, but later, one after another, he began to become a little ignorant of this eldest son.

"As for the second brother, he was also a qualified elder brother."

Xiao Qian remembered that when he first entered the palace, because he was bullied by the prince, Xiao Yuanqi couldn't see it and even quarreled with the prince for him.But later, I don't know whether it was because of others' analysis of Xiao Qian's life experience, or because he was still young and had already developed the idea of ​​seizing the throne. Xiao Yuanqi gradually watched from the sidelines, and even began to use Xiao Qian's relationship with the prince Use Xiao Qian.

"But mother, if it weren't for your ruthlessness, my third brother would probably be as old as me by now."

Emperor Xuan Cheng was shocked and sighed.

"You always say that you miss the father-son relationship with Erchen in the other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, so why didn't you tell me earlier that my mother was poisoned to death by a cup of poisoned wine by you?"

"You already know." The expression on Emperor Xuan Cheng's face was light.

Perhaps because he knew that his situation was over, and when Xiao Yuanqi's army completely broke through the palace, he would not be able to survive today, so Emperor Xuan Cheng calmed down a lot: "After all, your mother is not from the Central Plains, and she has such a blood relationship with you. If you don't If you cut off your lineage, Da Jin fears endless troubles."

"Father, you always treat your son and minister as an outsider, so how can you talk about the relationship between father and son?"

However, if Xiao Qian hadn't lived a new life, he would have never known the cause of his mother's death in his whole life.

"The current situation is obviously caused by you, so you can't blame others."

"Yes," Emperor Xuancheng sighed, "I should have broken it up, and I shouldn't have hoped that the Tian family would have any family affection. If I was willing to be ruthless at the beginning, I used all the means and methods of the Tian family to cultivate You, I might not have today!"

As he spoke, he became excited, raised his head slightly on the jade pillow, and coughed heavily.

Xiao Qian looked at him lightly.

Emperor Xuancheng recalled that when he was still a prince, the previous emperor had taught him how to fight each other, how to fight every step while surrounded by wolves, and in the end he ascended to the throne stepping on the bones of his brothers.

This is how he walked all the way, how could he forget it when he turned around?

Xiao Qian said: "Father still doesn't understand, but..." He slightly hooked the corner of his lips, "It's not a big deal, after all, time is running out."

The sound of fighting resounded outside Mingxin Hall.

The prince's assassination with the Northern Man was still vivid in his memory, and now a similar scene is being staged outside the Mingxin Palace again.

"Where did father hide Second Young Master Su?" Xiao Qian asked Emperor Xuan Cheng.

Emperor Xuancheng laughed: "Sure enough, Qian'er is most concerned about this."

"Father," Xiao Qian said, "You don't have to tell me, I can always find you. Now that the second elder brother's soldiers and horses are close at hand, I can ignore you and leave here. In the future, the big Jin will fall to the second brother It is also a blessing in his hands, presumably he will always have a hand in governing the country."

Emperor Xuancheng's expression changed slightly.

"I heard that my father even tacitly allowed the king of the Western Regions to march to the northwest in order to force my son to submit. There is another news to tell you," Xiao Qian said indifferently, "My son's grandfather's old department is now in the capital. Worried that the Great Jin would fall into the hands of foreigners, those elite old troops and their father had a bloody feud. They could not tell when they would defect to the king of the Western Regions. When the army of the Western Regions marched into the Northwest, it would no longer be a simple show for the crowd. I saw it."

"Oh!" Xiao Qian seemed to think of something suddenly, and said again, "Second brother's reputation as a diligent king is not right, and I don't know what the Beiyu army will think. Maybe there are many generals in the Zhenyuan army who support the second brother. This son-in-law has lived and died with the lieutenant generals of the Beiyu Army, didn't the father want to go down to Jiuquan to give an explanation to the late emperor and ancestors? This decision must be made with caution."

Emperor Xuan Cheng finally couldn't maintain his superficial composure, turned over and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Wolf ambition, wolf ambition!" Emperor Xuancheng sighed.

Xiao Qian said calmly: "Father, there is no need to worry. As long as you draw up an imperial edict to pass the throne to the son, the son will agree to you. This great Jin country will still belong to the Xiao family in the future."

Emperor Xuan Cheng said: "How will you deal with Rui'er?"

"Conferring a king and a marquis should belong to him, and there will be nothing less."

Emperor Xuancheng was silent for a while, and finally said: "Bring the pen and ink."

Xiao Qian brought pen and ink, watched Emperor Xuancheng revise the original edict, and then said to Xiao Qian: "The jade seal is not in my hands."

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Qian folded the edict and put it in his sleeve, "I have my own way to find it."

Emperor Xuan Cheng lay down heavily on the bed as if his whole body had lost all strength.

Xiao Qian turned around and walked out of the Mingxin Hall, hearing the hustle and bustle outside the hall even worse.

Su Mingchen's armor was covered with blood, and when he turned around and saw Xiao Qian coming out, he was stunned: "Where's the emperor?"

"It's still inside," Xiao Qian sneered, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Xiao Qian, you...!" Su Mingchen turned around and rushed into the Mingxin Palace. After a while, he came out with a solemn expression, "You forced the emperor to death."

Xiao Qian said coldly: "Why is this king here?"

Emperor Xuancheng died.

There was blood in his mouth, Su Mingchen tried it out, and found that Emperor Xuan Cheng was already out of breath, if this was not done by Xiao Qian, then Emperor Xuan Cheng committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Now it's meaningless to pursue these things. King Duan's army is approaching the city, and countless lives are still in their hands in the imperial city. Su Mingchen asked with a sullen face, "Does King Ning have an edict?"

Xiao Qian showed him the bright yellow imperial decree in his sleeve.

"Then ask King Ning to show me." Su Mingchen knelt down.

"Find Li Youde," Xiao Qian said, "The harem concubines, palace maids and hundreds of people, protect them well, and if there is any whereabouts of Ziyu, tell this king as soon as possible."

Xiao Qian kicked away a few rebels who were approaching, galloped down the steps of Mingxin Hall, and got back on his horse: "Commander Su, the palace will be handed over to you!"

As he spoke, he braved the arrow feathers and headed out of the palace again.

King Duan had galloped his horse into the palace, because Commander Huang was guarding him to prevent him from getting close to Mingxin Hall, and he was leading a team of troops to confront the imperial guards outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Seeing Xiao Qian coming out from the direction of Mingxin Palace, Duan Wang's eyes were about to burst: "Xiao Qian, what have you done to Father!"

Xiao Qian snorted lightly: "Master Duan might as well worry about himself first."

As soon as the words fell, there was a noise outside the Meridian Gate, and a group of black armored cavalry broke through the line of defense and walked in front of Xiao Qian.

The leader, wearing thick armor, reined in his horse and got off his horse. He knelt down in front of Xiao Qian and said, "Prince Ning, the Beiyu army has arrived outside the city. General Feng has orders. If there is no order from the emperor, the Beiyu army will not enter the city." .”

Duan Wang was slightly startled, and was about to speak, when suddenly he saw a man galloping from behind Xiao Qian on horseback: "My lord, Director Li has been found!"

It was Siqing, Li Youde was sitting behind his horse, he got off his horse, dragged Li Youde off, and said: "He is hiding behind the Mingxin Hall, and Su Tong first discovered it, Siqing went to Mingxin Hall to find you Just in time to meet him."

Li Youde was trembling with fear, his hair was disheveled. Looking at the chaotic palace in front of him, he knew that the master he had served all his life was in danger, so he cried and said: "First, the first emperor has a decree to pass on the throne to King Ning! Duan Wang is a wolf with ambitions and intentions." Conspiracy, kill... kill without mercy!"

"Xiao Qian!" After hearing this, King Duan was furious for a moment, raised the knife in his hand with red eyes, and said, "I'll kill you!"
