Everything was in order, and it was time for Shen. When Zhao Meng saw that Taiping Hou was captured, Liu Ziqi commanded the soldiers to take the captured Iron Armored Army out of the capital and hand them over to the Northwest Army Camp for personal custody. , warehouses, etc. are registered and recorded for future inspection.Everything is in order, there is nothing to worry about, and I can spare my mind to help Liu Xi.

Zhao Meng then said to Liu Ziqi: "General Liu, the general wants to go to the palace to have a look. It has been several hours since the signal sounded, and I don't know if there is any change in Liu Xi's place. I am really worried."

Liu Ziqi smiled and said: "Xu Qian called out all the guards from the imperial guard camp early in the morning, and guarded them outside the four gates of the imperial city. In addition to the five thousand elite soldiers sent to him by the old man, it is enough to deal with the fourth prince's troops. General Zhao needn't worry."

Zhao Meng smiled, still feeling uneasy, bid farewell to Liu Ziqi, got on his horse and ran towards the imperial city.

Liu Ziqi shook his head and sighed: "This child is so impatient!" He ordered one of his generals to quickly lead a group of people to follow Zhao Meng, and if something happened, he would have someone to help him.

The imperial city was eerily quiet, the four gates were empty, and there was no one guarding them. In the past, one post could be seen within ten steps, and one post could be seen within five steps. Now, not even a brother from the imperial guard camp could be seen.The more Zhao Meng walked in, the more frightened he became. He was really afraid that if he entered the inner garden of the imperial city, he would see blood flowing like a river.

After passing the Yongtai Hall, not far ahead is the Kangqian Palace, the sleeping hall of Emperor Tianqing.

Zhao Meng clenched his fists, jumped off the horse, and rushed forward. As soon as he stepped into the aisle, he heard a woman crying bitterly.Walking forward hurriedly, turning the corner of the hall, and entering the gate of Kangqian Palace, the ground was covered with blood red, many corpses lying on the ground, countless with missing arms and legs, some heads rolled down, and internal organs slipped out , the death was extremely ugly, and the journey was shocking. It seems that the battle just now must have been very tragic.

Stepping into the main hall, Zhao Meng followed the cries until he found Emperor Tianqing's bedroom.Looking up, he was immediately relieved that Emperor Tianqing was safe and well, and Brother Liu Xi was also safe and sound.There was a room full of people standing in the room, besides Xu Qian, there were also Qin Ming and other brothers from the imperial guard camp.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the woman kneeling on the ground, and they didn't notice Zhao Meng coming in for a moment.

The woman was wearing a fine attire and a phoenix crown on her head, holding a person in her arms, crying so loudly.

Zhao Meng looked down at the woman, it was Empress Bai Wan.

After crying for a long time, the queen suddenly got up and rushed to Luo Ping, cursing loudly: "You are a heartless and unjust emperor, you are wearing human skin in vain, but you are not as good as a beast. I entered the palace at the age of 19 and have been married to you for 20 years. Could it be that after all these years, you can’t compare to a dead person? You dote on Luo Ming and despise my Ah Zheng. From his birth to the present, when did you say a word to him in a friendly voice, when did you hug him? Get over him? Tiger poison doesn't eat its own son, stupid king! Ah Zheng who killed me, you give me back my son, give me back my son!"

Emperor Tianqing remained silent, Xu Qian and others did not dare to step forward, and the queen threw herself on Luo Ping, biting and kicking, crying bitterly.

Today when she heard that Luo Ming was returning to the capital, the Empress immediately ordered Sun Changfu to find the Fourth Prince Luo Zheng, and asked him to lead the Qi family's personal soldiers to break into the Kangqian Palace, kill Luo Ping, and ascend the throne quickly.

Since Luo Zheng got married, he left the palace to live in another mansion, and the mansion raised a group of followers and followers, and there were quite a few people in his hands.

After receiving the queen's news, Luo Zheng immediately ordered all the available people in the Qi mansion to rush to the imperial city.Pass all the way unimpeded, and quickly passed through many checkpoints.Xu Qian had already ordered the imperial guards to see the fourth prince, as long as they stopped him a little to prevent him from being suspicious, and let him enter the imperial city, they would be able to capture him in one fell swoop.

Luo Zheng didn't doubt that he was there, and also said that the imperial guard camp was usually vicious, so it turned out to be a bunch of idiots.Pegasus broke through the Vermilion Bird Gate and entered the Kangqian Palace. Shi ordered his men to kill all the eunuchs and maids in the Kangqian Palace. Luo Zheng, holding a sharp knife, rushed into the bedroom alone, and went straight to Luo Ping who was lying on the couch.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, he raised the knife and chopped it. After a few chops, he gradually felt that something was wrong.Luo Zheng lifted the yellow silk quilt, and was immediately taken aback.It's not Luo Ping lying on the bed, it's clearly a cloth doll.The puppet was made lifelike, with some black hair on the top of the head, the inner core was filled with plant ash, and then covered with a quilt, lying sideways, it looked exactly like a real person at first glance.

Luo Zheng turned pale with shock, and knew there must be something wrong, withdrew the knife in his hand, turned his head to stare at Liu Jun who was standing by, and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

How could Liu Jun say anything, Luo Zheng was furious, he rushed forward and slapped Liu Jun twice, causing him to fall to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.Punching and kicking, and repeated interrogation, Liu Jun bit him to death and refused to speak. Luo Zheng was anxious and angry, and killed his father and king. Cut off between Liu Jun's neck.

Just as he was about to attack, Liu Xi rushed in with a dozen guards.Seeing that his elder brother was about to be killed by the knife, Liu Xi, in a hurry, swung the long knife in his hand and flew over, slashing Luo Zheng's wrist, and then flew forward, kicked Luo Zheng aside, helped him up Liu Jun looked at his injuries, his eyes were red, he turned his head viciously, chased and kicked Luo Zheng several times, and shouted: "Catch him, tie him up, and wait for the emperor to come back and deal with him!"

Although Luo Zheng had a few tricks, but his martial arts were all taught by his masters in the palace. He just practiced to look good on weekdays, but he had never been in actual combat. Unlike Liu Xi, who is a real swordsman, he has the ability to fight on the battlefield.Under Liu Xi's subordinate Luo Zheng couldn't fight back at all, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he screamed in pain, but he could only curse and couldn't even get up.

Originally, when Luo Zheng was captured, the matter would come to an end, and he only waited for a while to bring Emperor Tianqing back from Concubine Xu Gui, and Luo Ping's order on how to deal with it was up to Luo Ping.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Zheng was tied up, Sun Changfu protected the queen and rushed into the bedroom, heading straight for the captured Luo Zheng.The imperial guards immediately became chaotic, each drew out their sabers, surrounded Sun Changfu, followed by a scuffle, the queen was caught in it, she had a special status, and the imperial guards did not dare to move her, the queen still rushed to Luoyang in the confusion. Zheng stepped forward, untied his rope, pulled him and ran outside.

Liu Xi stomped his feet anxiously, if the fourth prince ran away, all previous efforts would be in vain.Hurriedly whistled, calling for the guards outside to come in and arrest people, and everyone rushed into the bedroom like a swarm, blocking the door of the palace.Seeing that there was no way to escape, Luo Zheng pushed the queen away, swung his saber and slashed, trying to cut a bloody way out of the palace.He fought with all his might, and the imperial guards naturally did not dare to relax. After a fight, Luo Zheng was finally defeated, was slashed in the chest, and fell to the ground.

The queen became anxious when she saw it, and rushed forward to hug Luo Zheng.Swords and arrows have no eyes, and there is no love on the battlefield.The robe on Luo Zheng's chest was already soaked with blood, and the blood flowed profusely, no matter how much he pressed down, the blood wouldn't stop. Seeing his son's breath getting weaker and weaker, he took a few breaths, and died in front of his eyes.

Luo Zheng died, the empress was stunned for a moment, hugged him and shook her vigorously, but the son still didn't wake up, he sniffed with trembling hands, but there was no movement at all.The blood stained the clothes on his body red, which was dazzling.The queen stared blankly at the large bloodstain for a while, then groaned twice, and burst into tears with a shrill voice, which moved everyone who heard it.

Luo Ping was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.Liu Jun sent him to Concubine Xu at night yesterday, and he was not carried back to the bedroom until now.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw such a tragic scene. Luo Zheng was his son, although he was not as loving as Luo Ming, but he was also his own flesh and blood. His heart felt like someone had gouged it out, and he was so painful that he rolled down tears. He looked at the bed Looking at the chopped-up doll, there was another wave of resentment in his heart, and his emotions changed alternately. Luo Ping didn't know what mood he was in now.If the empress had been content with her duties, Luo Zheng would not have died tragically, but after all, he still had to blame himself for being too weak. If he had been able to stick to what he had seen at the beginning and not create a new one, he would not have turned the woman in front of him into what she is now. looks like.

The queen threw herself on Luo Ping and beat him, but Luo Ping didn't move. She beat him for a long time before she let out a long sigh and persuaded, "Queen, I'm sorry for you, you..."

Before Luo Ping could utter the words behind her, the queen's face changed, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed it fiercely in Luo Ping's chest, "You killed my son, go to hell!"

"Ouch!"

All this happened so fast, Luo Ping had no time to react, the dagger had already reached his chest.The two were very close at this moment, and Luo Ping was so sick that he didn't even have the energy to speak, let alone dodge to avoid it.

The people in the room were shocked, they were too far away, there was no time to come forward to rescue them, if this knife was stabbed, Luo Ping would be killed immediately.

With a sound of "flutter", the dagger tore through the cloth and stuck on Luo Ping's body, and blood rolled out immediately. The queen laughed twice, holding the dagger, staring at Luo Ping, and asked, "Why don't you like me? What's wrong with me?" That Liu Qingyue? Is her family background inferior to her, or her appearance inferior? I am a decent woman, and I have loved you for 20 years, but you treat me like this? Hee hee...you are bleeding, and Ah Zheng is also bleeding..."

Xu Qian and others rushed up early, pulled the queen away, and hurriedly checked Emperor Tianqing's injuries. He unbuttoned his clothes and took a look. Fortunately, the queen was unconscious, the knife was not deep, and the knife edge was not pierced in an important place. Not fatal.

The queen was staggered by Xu Qian, staggered back to Luo Zheng, and said with a smile: "Ah Zheng is going to be emperor, my Ah Zheng is going to be emperor, hahaha..."

Laughing several times, the queen gently hugged Luo Zheng, "Ah Zheng is asleep, be good. When Ah Zheng wakes up, we will be enthroned as emperors."

The queen hugged her son tightly, babbling and humming, speaking softly, gentle and soothing, like a baby in a dream.

Everyone felt sad, falling into such a situation, although it was their own fault, it was too miserable.

Regardless of the wound, Luo Ping struggled up from the bed, sighed, and ordered: "Send the queen back to the palace first, and find someone to take care of her. Send the fourth prince to the late emperor and bury him! Don't say anything to the outside world, just say four The prince died of a sudden illness, and the empress became mad about her son, which is why she became what she is now."

This is already a treat.Finally, he took care of the fourth prince's face, and did not expose the fact that he led the army to break into the imperial city, entered the palace of Emperor Tianqing with a sharp knife, and killed the king and father.In this way, he can still be buried in the imperial tomb after his death, and his wife and children will not have to be convicted and punished.

A court lady came forward to help the queen, and the little eunuchs wanted to remove Luo Zheng's body and move it out of the palace.The queen was still in a daze at first, and didn't respond to being supported. She obediently stood up and laughed a few times. When she saw someone moving Luo Zheng's body, she jumped up and threw herself on Luo Zheng. No matter how much people pulled her, she would not let go, whimpering and howling, and would bite anyone who touched her.

The crowd had no choice but to finally find the queen's personal maid Ling'er from among the criminals, and let her coax and lie before bringing the queen back to the palace.
