princess is everywhere

Anyang didn't sort out his thoughts at first, but his heart was disturbed by the emperor's brother's words, so he didn't leave the palace for several days.She wanted to take advantage of Xu Mu's recuperation period to sort out her thoughts first, so that she could think about the future.

Of course, she still misses Xu Mu outside the palace, so she sends people out of the palace to visit every day.

On this day, Anyang was sitting in front of the bedroom window, resting his chin in one hand, bored.Outside the window is the bright spring scenery, the newly revived flower garden in the spring, the new green leaves, red, pink, and white flowers of various colors, you can see at a glance that they are all carefully taken care of, and they are treasures. It is far from the ordinary flower species that were seen outside the palace during the Flower Festival a few days ago.

But no matter how beautiful the flowers bloom outside the window, Anyang didn't put her mind on it—even though a few days passed, she still couldn't really sort out her heart.It's not that he doubts his feelings for Xu Mu, but if a woman falls in love, there are too many things to worry about.

Anyang is already eighteen. At this age, she is favored by the emperor, otherwise she should have married a long time ago.But even if she doesn't marry, she doesn't necessarily lose her consideration for the future... Anyang has thought about what kind of family she will marry in the future, and what kind of husband-in-law she will choose in the future.But no matter how she thinks or chooses, it is impossible to think in advance that the one who makes her fall in love will be a woman like her.

There has been Longyang since ancient times, and there are many things about grinding mirrors in the palace. Anyang is not ignorant of this, but getting her to accept it is another matter.It's not that she is indifferent, it's not that she doesn't want it, but that she has too many worries, which makes her feel that she can't dare.

After all, although Xu Mu is now disguised as a man, but as she gets older, she may not be able to continue like this for the rest of her life.If one day her identity is revealed, the consequences of marrying the princess and not marrying the princess will obviously be different.And if he married a female son-in-law, the impact on the reputation of the royal family can be imagined if the news spreads.

Anyang couldn't help but not worry about such consequences, so the enthusiasm in his heart was gradually extinguished by this basin of cold water.

A few days of thinking, a few days of thinking, the reason why Anyang is hesitant is not because of ambiguity, but because she wants to let go but is reluctant.Until today, she finally convinced herself that Xu Mu didn't seem to have any interest in her at all, so why should she bother with others? !

With a decision, Anyang is not happy in his heart, sitting in front of the window for a long time can still feel empty in his heart, which is extremely uncomfortable.

But at this moment, Dong Ling suddenly ran over in a hurry, with an inexplicably flustered expression on his face.But when she entered the hall and saw Anyang, she didn't speak immediately. Instead, she leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, something happened."

Anyang was still sad at first, and she didn't intend to turn her head when she heard Dong Ling's hurried footsteps, but Dong Ling's behavior made her realize something was wrong.She sat up straight suddenly, all the disappointment and depression on her face disappeared: "What happened?"

Dong Ling's face turned pale: "Your Highness, the gate of the palace is closed, and the people who were sent to the general's mansion just now have not been able to leave the palace."

Closing the palace gate in broad daylight is not a trivial matter, but Anyang didn't panic because of Dong Ling's words, she frowned slightly: "Why did you close the palace gate so well, have you found any news?"

Dong Ling's face became even paler when she heard the words, her lips trembled, and she lowered her voice: "There is no news. But there are rumors in the palace that it is true, that His Majesty has been poisoned and passed out..."

Anyang couldn't sit still anymore, she got up suddenly and walked out of the hall, asking as she walked: "Is this news true or not? There is such an important matter, how can it be known to everyone? Could it be that the emperor's sister-in-law didn't Order to seal it?!"

Seeing this, Dong Ling hurriedly followed, explaining as she walked: "I heard that the palace gate was sealed by the Queen's order. As for the news from the palace spreading so quickly, I'm afraid someone is behind the scenes." She paused for a while. , his voice was a little trembling: "If your majesty is really wrong, I'm afraid it will only be a moment to close the palace gate. Your highness is only three years old now, what should we do, your highness?"

Anyang's heart was also tight, but the next moment she turned her head and stared at it fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you believe rumors?!"

However, just as Anyang's words fell, another servant ran over in a hurry, and he stumbled over, showing that he was flustered.Seeing this, the palace people near Zuo yelled at him, but the little servant didn't care about anything else, ran to Anyang and fell to the ground.

An Yang frowned even tighter, and Dong Ling explained beside him: "This is the person who was dispatched to the palace today, and he was unable to go out after the palace gate was sealed, so I asked him to guard near the palace gate so as to see what's going on."

Dong Ling's voice fell, and before Anyang asked, the little servant got up by himself, tremblingly said: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong, believe, believe the king, he sent troops to attack the palace!"

In a word, it hit Anyang's heart like a heavy stone.

****************************************************************************

It was originally a bright spring day, but at some point it changed, and it became gloomy and gray like the oppressive atmosphere in the palace.

Anyang was really taken aback by the news, and even the entire Yongning Palace was shaken.It stands to reason that Anyang, as the eldest princess who doesn't care about court affairs, should obediently wait in the bedroom at this time, waiting for the outside world to decide the outcome, and the situation is stable.

But Anyang and the emperor are brothers and sisters of the same mother, how can they sit still at this time?What's more, if the matter fails and is taken advantage of by King Xin, she, the eldest princess, will never end well.So he gritted his teeth, Anyang took all the guards of Yongning Palace, and hurried to Xuanshi Palace.On the way, when I met some palace people who fished in troubled waters or disturbed the wind and rain, they all took them down.

Yongning Palace is neither far nor close to Xuanshi Hall, but the atmosphere in the palace is quite tense along the way.Fortunately, when we arrived at the Xuanshi Palace, we didn't see any chaos outside, but the guards were more than twice as many as usual, which also added three points of solemnity to the whole palace.

Seeing this scene, Anyang first raised his hand to stop the people following him, and went forward alone and said: "I want to see Your Majesty."

Who in the palace doesn't know how much the emperor loves this younger sister?In addition, Anyang had just blocked the sword for the emperor not long ago, and the imperial guards did not dare to make things difficult when they saw her coming, they just asked her to wait a while and hurried back to the palace to pass the news.

Not long after, the head servant came out and personally led her into the Xuanshi Hall.

Just before approaching the gate of the palace, Anyang smelled a strong smell of medicine, her heart sank suddenly, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clasped together.Not caring about anything else, she grabbed the head servant and said, "What's wrong, Brother Huang? Did you really get poisoned?"

The head servant was dragged to question, glanced left and right, but said: "Your Highness will know when you go in."

Seeing the attitude of the chief servant, Anyang also knew that there were some things that were not to be revealed to the public, but she was really flustered, and even her palms were soaked in cold sweat.It can be seen that the other party refused to speak, so he had no choice but to let go of his hand slowly, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the palace door.

The Xuanshi Hall is the emperor's bedroom, so it is naturally very large, and the bedroom is divided into several rooms.At this moment, there is a group of imperial physicians guarding the outside. The stove for decocting medicine is placed in the outer hall. It has already boiled and is emitting a strong smell of medicine—I have never seen medicine decocted in the main hall, so it is urgent. , I can't take care of this much anymore.

Anyang became more nervous, but this time he didn't hesitate, instead he quickened his pace and headed towards the inner hall.

There were many people in the hall, but no one stopped her.So when Anyang stepped into the inner hall with a heavy heart full of panic, but saw his royal brother sitting there as if nothing had happened, the expression on his face was blank for a moment.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't help laughing, as if he was a little happy to see his sister's gaffe.

The queen still couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to stop Anyang: "Don't worry, sister, those rumors outside are all fake, your brother is fine at all. He is just pretending to scare you and me for no reason."

Anyang's hands and feet are still a little cold at the moment, and he almost couldn't help changing his face when he heard this.Fortunately, he stabilized in the end. Seeing her like this, the emperor came forward with a smile, and touched her head affectionately: "Okay, okay, Brother Huang didn't mean to scare you. It's just that it happened suddenly, and there's nothing you can do about it." Let me inform you in advance. What's more, if you want to deceive outsiders, you must first deceive you."

The queen was probably overwhelmed, and she was very calm at the moment, not only did not blame, but also helped to comfort her.

Anyang is not an ignorant person, and he didn't get angry after hearing the words. Instead, he asked about the situation outside the palace: "What's going on? Is the emperor trying to lure the king to do it? There is also the palace gate, I heard Fighting started, where did King Xin get his soldiers?"

The emperor's face also sank when he heard the question: "It's the people from the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Bingma Division, as well as the private soldiers of King Xin. He can still get his hands in, and these people are willing to work hard for him."

The defense of the capital is divided into three parts.In the imperial palace, there are imperial guards guarding the imperial city, while in the capital there are Xiaoqi battalions leading the defense, and the soldiers and horses are responsible for the security of the city. Besides that, there are soldiers and horses from the big battalion on the outskirts of Beijing, which is to defend against foreign enemies.Fortunately, the Xiaoqi Battalion and Bingma Si rebelled together, and the entire capital fell into the hands of King Xin.However, although the palace wall is thick, the imperial guards don't know how long they will be able to guard. The soldiers and horses of the camp in the outskirts of Beijing need tiger charms, and it takes two days to go back and forth, which is enough for rebellion to break through the palace gate.

Generally speaking, the situation is not good, it can even be said to be very bad.Unless someone can turn the tide and persuade Xiaoqiying or Bingmasi to turn back at this juncture, there is basically no room for reversal of this rebellion.

But although the emperor looked pale, he was still very calm, so Anyang tentatively said: "Brother Huang must have been prepared for this?"

The emperor's face softened a little when he heard the words, and he immediately straightened his sleeves and stood up: "It's natural. I am the Son of Heaven, and if I believe in the king's perverse actions, I have to murder me first. Only when the news of my poisoning spreads does he dare to do it. What do you say?" Now that I have appeared on the palace wall, what kind of expression will he have when he meets his soldiers?"

Anyang looked at his imperial brother's confident expression, and fell silent for a moment, seemingly unable to say anything.

Seeing this, the emperor laughed loudly, and raised his hand to pat her on the head again: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, don't worry, you'll be fine."

After saying this, the emperor strode away, and the imperial guards guarding outside the Xuanshi hall also followed him.Thinking about it, he really went to the palace wall to supervise the battle, and his previous confidence was not fake.
