chapter(2/2)
Only by capturing the city and suppressing that Situ Nan can the emperor's last words be made public, and Nangong Jie be made the crown prince. Only by choosing a day to ascend the throne and inherit the throne can we avoid the disaster of destroying the country!"
"Yes, empress!" The prime minister and the Minister of Rites moved the bodies of the two women aside and then followed the queen out of the Jade Dragon Palace.
Nangong Ao and others were waiting anxiously outside the Jade Dragon Palace. When they saw Duoduo walking out with two ministers, they asked anxiously: "How is my father?"
The imperial doctor said: "The emperor is indeed seriously ill and has... rested."
"Father is seriously ill? No, I'll go in and have a look!"
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Second Prince, the Emperor is ill. Now that Concubine Yan and Concubine Ming are with you, don't worry. You won't be disturbed easily."
"Get out of the way! I don't need your guidance when doing things!" Nangong Ao said and tried to force his way in.
Duoduo stretched out his hand and blocked his way: "Second Prince, the words of the imperial physician are my words."
"You want to stop me? I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications!"
"Are you qualified now?" Duoduo pulled out the sword that Nangong Ming had been wearing with a clang, put it on his neck and said: "The emperor asked me to come out with this sword, just to tell you,
Now he needs to rest in peace and recuperate, and you can't let you in to disturb him. If anyone wants to force his way in, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
Situ Nan also asked: "What's going on? Prime Minister, Minister, is the emperor really seriously ill?"
"General Situ, it is indeed the case." The Minister of Rites said, looking at the eunuch Li Eunuch and saying: "Eunuch Li, why are you stunned? Have you forgotten what the emperor ordered?"
Only then did Eunuch Li come to his senses, cleared his throat and said: "The Emperor has decreed that from today onwards, I will not go to court due to physical discomfort. The Prime Minister will take care of all matters in the court, large and small, for me. You must obey the Prime Minister's arrangements."
, if there is any disobedience, the crime is the same as deceiving the emperor and resisting the decree, and he will be executed!"
Nangong Ao knew this woman's temperament. If he dared to break in, her head would really be cut off.
"Ao'er, don't be impulsive. Since it is the emperor's wish, we can only obey. We will wait until the emperor recovers."
The Prime Minister also said: "General Situ is right, everything will be decided after the Emperor recovers. Colleagues, starting from tomorrow, I will have the Prime Minister to do the work for the Emperor in the morning. Don't be late."
Seeing that the situation was like this, everyone had no choice but to obey the emperor's instructions and leave.
After Nangong Ao and Situ Nan returned to the General's Mansion, the more they thought about it, the more something went wrong.
"Uncle, I think my mother may be under house arrest!"
"Yes, I think so too. The problem is that the woman Qian Duoduo holds the emperor's sword in her hand. It's not easy for us to get in. So, we have to think of other ways."
When Nangong Ao heard what Situ Nan said, he suddenly realized: "Yes, that Eunuch Li is most greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as we find a way to capture him and torture him, he will confess in less than half a day! We don't want to do it now!"
Knowing my father's situation, I'm afraid of forcing my way in, in case my father convicts me..."
Situ Nan no longer had time to think so much and said, "Go ahead and find a way to catch that eunuch!"
For two days in a row, although the morning court went as usual and everything in the palace was in order, everyone in the court was worried. After feeling dull, there was a possibility of thunder and rain.
Prime Minister Duoduo mobilized the emperor's personal soldiers to guard the Jade Dragon Palace tightly. Not even a fly could sneak in. What she was worried about now was when the border general would be able to return to the capital.
"Mother, what's wrong..." The Minister of Rites came in and whispered: "General Ning at the border led an army of 200,000. On the way back, he was ambushed by multiple armies. It seems that there is nothing we can do for a while.
I'm back in a hurry, what can I do..."
"Don't panic. The only thing we can do now is to stay calm. Apart from that, there is no other way. No matter what, we must not let Situ Nan know about the emperor's death..."
"Yes, I understand."
"By the way, where is that Eunuch Li?"
"Isn't he in the Jade Dragon Palace?"
"Oops..." Duoduo's face suddenly turned pale: "That bastard, if he is caught and tortured, he will betray everything!"
Duoduo said: "Eunuch Li was probably captured by Nangong Ao. Alas, I should have thought of this, that slave who is as timid as a mouse!"
"There is nothing we can do if we are anxious. I have brought back all the soldiers who camped in the Qinghe River Valley, just outside the city."
"How many?"
"About eight thousand."
"Eight thousand?" Duoduo sighed and said, "A glass of water can't extinguish the fire. I think you should hurry to Xiangyun Palace and take your son out of the palace first, and find a place for Jin Lian to take him with him. In case we have a bad boy, let him
Jin Lian raised our son."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Where are you going?" Following Nangong Ao's strange cry, countless officers and soldiers surrounded him from all directions. The one who caused the most headache was Situ Nan.
No matter how arrogant Nangong Ao was, it was just arrogance, but Situ Nan followed the emperor to conquer everywhere, and his skills were extraordinary. As soon as the grandeur of a general appeared, it completely blocked the light of Duoduo and others.
"Second, brother emperor, you brought so many people here to surround the Jade Dragon Palace, aren't you afraid that your father will accuse you in the future?"
"Hahahaha..." Nangong Ao raised his head and laughed wildly: "Stop pretending here. You are so brave. You actually murdered my father and lynched my mother and Ming Fei. Today, I will let you
You must pay with blood!"
"No one is allowed to move. If anyone dares to mess around, I will stab him to death with a sword. Your Majesty is fine now. Don't listen to that eunuch's nonsense!"
"Stab? You stab, how many can you stab?"
Situ Nan raised his hand and threw Eunuch Li in front of everyone.
"My Majesty, help me, my Majesty..." Eunuch Li had been beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He crawled over and hugged Duoduo's legs to beg for mercy. It looked like he was a little crazy.
Duoduo said: "General Situ, Nangong Ao is ignorant. Could it be that you are also so ignorant of propriety?"
"Property? Madam, for the ministers, I worry about the emperor's safety day and night, so today I just want to take this opportunity to see the emperor without making any noise. Isn't it also inappropriate to do so?"
"No, the emperor has ordered this palace. Apart from the prime minister and the Minister of Rites, only the imperial physician can enter. No one else can be seen."
"Okay, since my father won't let me see you, let's forget it. However, if you say that what this eunuch said is false, then please go in and call my mother out. I have something important to tell you."
"I'm sorry, the emperor is in a critical situation now. He has ordered Concubine Yan and Concubine Ming to be with you at all times!"
"Hmph, you have a lot of money. Do you think it will be useful if you continue to pretend at this time? Come on, rush in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing the order, a large group of soldiers rushed forward and fought with the group of soldiers from the Jade Dragon Palace... Soon, a soldier ran out from inside and said: "It's not good.
