I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 178. Red heart and loyalty
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
Three days later "The holy driver and the queen mother are in Dongli Hall! If this is the case, wouldn't Dongli Hall become the center of intimidation by the insurgents." Qin Nuo hesitated.
"Don’t forget the prince, there are 8,000 imperial troops who are accompanying you this time. Although you were caught off guard at first, you can get back to the situation when the military stalemate. After all, the three princes rely on the mobs. The opponent of the inner ban." Huo Youjuan calmly analyzed.
Qin Nuo, like her, is not optimistic about Qin Jian's rebellion, but he wants to go further.
Although Qin Jian has a distorted personality, he is not a reckless and ignorant person.
Don't forget that Pidongying, one of the five guards in the capital, is controlled by the Guo family. That's 80,000 elite soldiers! The black armored soldiers I saw just now are well-equipped and sturdy, most likely they are the armored soldiers of Pidongying. Moreover, Qin Jian has set up private battlefields and closed his territory over the years, and he should have accumulated a lot of private teams.
However, if the Queen Mother Huo and the emperor really exist in the East Lei Hall, it may really be the focus of the counterattack.
"Let's go over and take a look." In the end, Qin Nuo decided.
The two acted immediately and sneaked westward in the dark. Occasionally, they passed other palaces on the road. Many of them were ransacked by the rebellion army. In front of the palace gates were the corpses of palace ladies' internal prisons, and even some of the palace ladies were untidy.
Qin Nuo's mood is getting heavier and heavier, what level will this civil turmoil turn into. Huo Youjuan was even more flustered. Although she was decisive and generous, she was a famous lady who was raised in a deep boudoir. How could she have seen such a situation?
The two stopped and walked all the way, and finally saw the shadow of Dongli Hall from a distance. The Dongli Hall was built on the highest hill in the back mountain. From the trees, you can see the exquisite scenery once beautiful. The palace has now turned into a fire. The intensity of the fire, like thunder from the sky, enveloped the entire hill. There were shadowy black figures all around, and it was the rebel soldiers running back and forth, not knowing whether they were looting or slaughtering palace people inside.
The brilliant light shines on the two people lurking in the garden bushes, and it also brings unprecedented fear.
The situation in the Dongli Temple is obviously already fallen! What about Queen Mother Huo and Qin Cong?
Once these two people die, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will face unprecedented drastic changes. Will Qin Jian really be able to ascend to the throne in the future? Do you have a good life for your leisurely prince?
Seeing that the soldiers around Dongli Hall began to scatter around, they seemed to be clearing and searching. Qin Nuo immediately turned around and couldn't stay here for a long time!
Huo Youjuan refused to keep up, but her eyes flashed with a firm light, "Impossible, your majesty and the empress dowager can't be killed by that villain in this simple way, maybe they are resisting in the apse."
Behind the hills is the back hall of Dongli Hall. Huo Youjuan turned around and entered the path, carefully circling in the direction of the back hall.
Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment and followed her footsteps. Huo Youjuan was more familiar with this area than him, and he was also very nervous about the life and death of Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo.
Before approaching the apse, I heard a sharp scream, almost piercing the eardrum.
The two of them hid behind a rockery surrounded by trees and looked at it. The small square surrounded by flowers in front of the back hall had become a **** on earth.
A dozen court ladies lay on the ground, most of them turned into disheveled corpses.
One of the young girls in brocade clothes was still surrounded by everyone. It looked like an ordinary court lady, but it only caused her more pain. She was almost stripped of most of her clothes, and her white body was dripping with blood. .
Qin Nuo couldn't bear to look any more, but the hatred of Qin Jian in his heart had reached its peak.
Don't dare to stay here for a long time, Qin Nuo immediately pulled Huo Youjuan back, and the two ran all the way into the depths of the forest, only to breathe a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he saw Huo Youjian who was trembling and pale, almost fainting.
Qin Nuo was moved, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know that..."
"She's... my personal maid..." Huo Youjuan whispered, her teeth trembling, and she said after a long trembling, "The rebels came to my palace... just now. , In order to cover my escape... She wore my clothes... and left separately..."
Qin Nuo showed pity on his face, and instantly thought that Qin Jian really hated Huo Youjuan, and even her maid hated her so cruelly.
If the girl in front of you falls into Qin Jian's hands, I'm afraid the end will be even worse! Do you want to continue to run away with her? It's impossible for Qin Jian to let her go, I'm afraid the search will be more stringent. Speaking of which, the relationship between him and Qin Jian is actually not too bad. If the other party wants to claim the emperor, he shouldn't be so frantic that he will click away. But if you mix with Huo Youjuan, it's not necessarily...
I was thinking about it, and Huo Youjuan’s whisper came in my ear: “It’s not safe to stay here now. If the prince can believe it, we might as well go to the Zi Rui Palace first. That’s the hot spring palace I assigned, and the rebels have searched it repeatedly. , It’s safer for the time being.” The girl was still pale, but she had miraculously calmed down.
Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Huo Youjuan's face showed gratitude, but said nothing.
The two went east in silence all the way, and soon arrived at the back door of Zi Rui Palace.
When I approached the hall, there was no one, but the scene was horrible. If there are only one or two palace members who were killed because of resistance in the palaces that passed by before, then Zirui Palace is everywhere. . None of the corpses on the ground were intact, enough to see Qin Jian's violent anger.
Huo Youjuan closed her eyes and resisted fear and stepped on these corpses. A few hours ago, they still surrounded her, serving and flattering, and let her enjoy the glory of being the proud girl of heaven, the next moment , Have turned into hideous and terrifying corpses, indicating the impermanence of the world.
Soon, I will become one of them.
Entered the apse and found that the hall was messy. The tables, chairs and screens were all pushed to the ground. The gold and jade antiques on it were broken to the ground, and some small beads and jade were taken away by the soldiers of the rebellion army.
Huo Youjuan approached the open closet cage, many of the gold and jade-inlaid clothes inside were torn, and the jewelry was dragged away.
She rummaged a little and picked out a dark green dress with gold thread and chrysanthemum pattern, put it on her body, and then sat down in front of the dressing table. Facing the bronze mirror, open the jewelry box.
The jewelry inside has been swept away, and only one pearl earring is left on the corner. She took it out and put it on, then opened the powder box...
Are you still in the mood to dress up at this time? Or does she want to change her face?
However, Qin Nuo watched beside him for a long time, but Huo Youjuan did not change his appearance at all, only traced his red lips. She was born beautifully, and she was slightly trimmed to make it more brilliant.
There was a white light from the horizon, and the night full of blood and killing finally passed, and a new dawn was about to come.
The dazzling morning light shines through the window on the face of the lady who is near the window dressing and dressing, she is like a concubine and fairy descending from the sky.
Even though the situation was extremely critical, Qin Nuo was still a little surprised.
After finishing the dressing, I turned to look at Qin Nuo next to him and stared at him. Huo Youjuan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your care along the way. Youjuan has a word. Please remember that there is a very hidden cave behind the rockery in the garden. Your Majesty can go there for a while. You can hide for a few days. If you can't escape and fall into the hands of the rebel, don't take refuge in the flattering traitor, just pretend to be deaf."
Qin Nuo blinked, what does this mean?
Huo Youjuan did not say more, but smiled tragically, "The prince will go to the east side hall first. I remember where there are some snacks and fruits, enough to support for a few days, the prince will fetch the things and hide in later. Time."
Speaking of food, my stomach is really hungry. Qin Nuo turned and walked to the door, but suddenly realized something. He turned his head abruptly. Sure enough, he saw that Huo Youjuan had pulled off the golden hairpin from his bun, and the pointed head with golden light flashed straight toward his throat.
Qin Nuo was shocked and rushed forward, knocking out the golden hairpin in her hand.
Huo Youjuan wanted to get the golden hairpin again, but Qin Nuo grabbed it.
"Why do you..." Qin Nuo helplessly persuaded, "The matter has not yet reached the final step."
Huo Youjuan leaned on the table, trembling: "I have no way to survive!"
"Maybe the reinforcements will arrive soon. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother do not know whereabouts yet." Qin Nuo could only persuade in this way.
"Don't you understand? I was abandoned, I'm just an abandoned child!" Huo Youjuan finally couldn't hold it, his eyes were red, and he screamed. "The emperor and queen dowager left long ago. They left, leaving us behind... we were abandoned."
Huo Youjuan is speechless and has a messy expression.
Listening to her chaotic words, Qin Nuo was surprised at first, and immediately revealed an unbelievable expression.
"You mean, the emperor and Queen Mother Huo knew that Qin Jian was going to rebel?" In the afternoon, Qin Xun and I went to see him, but they did not see Qin Cong himself, but Dongli, who was originally guarded by the imperial army The temple should not be broken so easily...
I haven't figured it out yet, suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the sound of furniture being pushed roughly.
A rebellion is approaching! Qin Nuo and Huo Youjuan realized immediately.
Huo Youjuan's eyes fell on the golden hairpin, but after her courage was interrupted by Qin Nuo, she was uncomfortable.
Qin Nuo's eyes sank, and he stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
Li Wan understood his scruples and couldn't help but muttered: "His Royal Highness is kindness." But he didn't oppose this decision anymore.
Serve Qin Nuo well, and Li Wan goes out to urge meals.
Qin Nuo is alone in the room, carefully looking at the delicate face reflected in the mirror. This body is a bit good, that is, it perfectly inherits the appearance of his mother, Concubine Chen, with delicate brows and delicate eyes. Thin body, if you put on women's clothing, it is really easy to be mistaken for a girl.
I was looking at it, and suddenly a figure rushed up from behind the cabinet.
Qin Nuo didn't dodge, just stretched out a hand to block the opponent firmly.
"Brother." The girl's delicate voice sounded. Appearance is similar to Qin Nuo's seven or eight points, and it is the 13th princess Qin Zhi, the sister of his twins.
She angrily opened Qin Nuo's hand on her forehead, "Every time, I look thinner than me, how can I be so strong!"
"Who made you eat so much, getting fatter, like a ball."
"You are eating better than me." Qin Zhi exclaimed angrily. What she said was correct. Qin Nuo's appetite was almost two or three times as much as hers, and he didn't know where all the things he ate in his stomach went to.
Because of the early death of Concubine Chen, brothers and sisters Qin Nuo have a very good relationship. Qin Zhi was full of joy for his brother's gradual resuscitation in the past six months, and he was no longer so dumb. He never thought that his brother had already died in a serious illness a few months ago. Now it is another person who has woken up.
Qin Nuo still likes this cheap sister who posted it. And since he inherited Qin Nuo's identity, he should take good care of his family.
Qin Nuo asked casually: "Why did you come here again today? Not with the two emperor sisters."
According to Da Zhou’s palace rules, the prince must move out to live alone when he arrives at Kaimeng. Instead, the daughter can always be raised under the concubine’s knees. Of course, princesses like Qin Zhi who do not have a mother and concubine are not included in this list.
There are three such princesses, namely the Ninth Princess, the Twelve Princess, and the Thirteen Princess Qin Zhi. The three of them lived together in Shunde Palace on the north side of Xiyue Lake.
"Recently, Shunde Palace cannot live anymore. Sister Nine Emperors and Sister Twelve Emperors wash their faces with tears every day. I can't stand it anymore."
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that there was another courtier's memorial today, mentioning the marriage with Beishuo, who wants to marry those barbarians."
Beishuo is in the north of the Great Zhou. There are nomadic horse races everywhere. They were originally vassals of the Great Zhou. They were called vassals and paid tribute every year. They were eager to exchange some celestial rewards. Until a few dozen years ago, a tribe Out of an extraordinary genius, he unified the tribes, founded the country and became the king, and the power quickly became stronger. At the beginning, it maintained the tradition of claiming courtiers to the Great Zhou. Two generations later, it began to rebel against the guests, harassing the northern border and becoming a major problem.
On the other hand, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been civil strifes in recent decades, especially the Four Kings Rebellion 20 years ago, which greatly damaged the vitality of the entire imperial court. Although Emperor Jing Yao successfully ascended the throne, the forces in the DPRK were complicated, Jing Yao The emperor himself was not the master of talents and roughness, and the authority of the court has been declining in recent years.
No matter how you look at it, it is the end of the dynasty!
Qin Nuo sighed brightly and sadly. He finally had a good life without worrying about food and clothes. He didn't want to go back to before liberation.
In terms of marriage, there are only a few unmarried princesses in the middle of Korea today. Others are dependent on mothers and families. Most of the selected are the nine princesses or the twelve princesses. Both of them were mothers and concubines from humble birth and died young, and there was no brother in the palace to rely on. They could only live cautiously in this palace.
