Outside Fengyi Palace, there is a strong battle at this moment.

Princess Tianxiang came from Qi. At that time, the king of Qi arranged for many eunuchs and palace maids to come with dowry. These palace maids and eunuchs were always staying with Princess Tianxiang to serve the Queen of Great Chu.

When the Yulin Army entered the inner palace, naturally some people reported to the queen immediately. Someone next to the queen immediately organized eunuchs in Fengyi Palace. Although they had no weapons in their hands, they picked up many objects such as chairs and sticks as weapons to protect them outside the Fengyi Palace gate. The palace maids also picked up porcelain and other things as second line of defense.

In fact, everyone knows that once the Yulin Army really enters Fengyi Palace, everyone can't stop it, but these people are loyal to the queen. Although eunuchs and palace maids in many places in the palace are in chaos, looking for places to hide like headless flies, everything in Fengyi Palace is in order.

Of course, the queen was not confused because of the Yulin Army entering the palace. It made people keep inquiring about the news. When they learned that the Yulin Army had withdrawn from the inner palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They soon learned that the Yulin Army blocked the imperial city and the troops outside the city were at the city. This really surprised the queen again.

"Empress!" An eunuch hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of the queen: "Qining, Duke of the National Guard, asked for a meeting!"

"Qinning?" The queen frowned and pondered, saying, "Let him come in!"

Qi Ning came to the queen, knelt on one knee, and said straight to the point: "I have reported to the Queen, the rebels besieged the city, and I am guarding the imperial city, but the rebels are in power. I have reached an agreement with the outside of the city. Before dawn, the empress will take people out of the city, and they will settle the empress."

The queen stood up and said, "Duke Kuang, suddenly changes tonight. What happened? I heard that you are on the front line, when will you return to Beijing, and when will you enter the palace?"

Qi Ning looked around and the queen understood Qi Ning's meaning, waved her hand and signaled her to retreat. After everyone retreated, Qi Ning looked at the queen and said, "Do you know that Xiao Shaozong is plotting to rebel and usurp the throne?"

"Xiao Shaozong?" the queen frowned and said, "Is it the prince of Huainan who just inherited his title?"

"That's right." Qi Ning said: "The emperor was controlled by this man, and his life and death are uncertain. I entered the palace tonight to rescue the emperor, but I fell into Xiao Shaozong's trap and was besieged in the city. Xiao Shaozong has now charged me with rebellion for regicide and mobilized troops to kill the ministers in the city to take the head of the ministers. Naturally, I cannot bow my knees to the traitors, so I have to share life and death with the imperial city. But I am worried that once the city is broken, the rebels will inevitably hurt the nobles in the harem, and that is why I asked the queen to leave the city first."

"You are treasoning the lord?" Although the queen was surprised, she was still very calm: "Why did Xiao Shaozong detain such a crime? Where is the emperor now?"

"I can't know the whereabouts of the emperor," said Qi Ning: "Xiao Shaozong found a puppet that looked like the emperor, and used it as a puppet to issue orders. He occupied the jade seal and issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor. The civil and military officials in the court could not tell the truth or falsehood."

"Puppet?" The queen's delicate body shook, and she suddenly realized: "So that's it, it turns out that man is a puppet!"

Qi Ning immediately asked, "Did the Queen notice it?"

The queen said: "Originally the emperor cooks

After the court, we will come to Fengyi Palace to rest. Even if it is busy, it will not last more than three days. However, the emperor has not set foot in Fengyi Palace for more than a month. The palace sent someone to find the emperor. The emperor also said that the government is busy and he cannot take time to come." After a pause, he continued: "More than half a month ago, I went to see the emperor in person. When he saw that the emperor was reviewing the piles of memorials, he did not say a few words to me, but only said that he would come to see me again after a while. Strangely, he only looked at me and never looked at me again."

Qi Ning said: "What the queen sees is naturally a puppet that pretends to be the emperor."

The queen sighed, "I always thought that the emperor was alienated because of Qi." After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Duke of the Kingdom, tell me, has there been any incidents in Qi?"

"Why did the queen ask?"

"You don't have to hide it from me." The queen sighed: "Although I am in the deep palace, I am not ignorant of everything outside. Moreover, even if the emperor wants to hide it from me, it is not easy. There are so many people in the palace, so it is not difficult to get some information."

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "No matter what happens, the queen is still the queen of my Great Chu. The emperor is also sincere to the queen."

"I understand the emperor's intention." The queen said, "I came to Chu State not just for the alliance between the two countries." She smiled bitterly, "I don't know how to change the world's general trend with just one woman." Then she looked worried and asked, "Did you send someone to look for the emperor in the palace?"

"The Emperor is not in the palace." Qi Ning said: "I suspect that the Emperor has been taken out of the palace long ago, and is now in the hands of Xiao Shaozong."

The queen closed her eyes: "In this way, the emperor is already in danger?"

"Xiao Shaozong is determined to take back the throne that he thinks belongs to him. Before he ascends the throne, the emperor should be fine." Qi Ning said: "I can only send the queen out of the city now, so please prepare for it quickly."

"Then what's the point of staying in the imperial city?" said the queen: "The emperor is not in the city, and you are guarding the imperial city, for whom are you?"

Qi Ning's intention to the queen was not completely sure. After all, the empress was unable to make an accurate judgment on what she was thinking about when Chu State conquered Qi State. At this moment, he did not want to tell her plan. He just said: "If Xiao Shaozong wants to usurp the throne, he naturally has to be in the palace. Now I have no other way. If I can hold on for one day, I can hold Xiao Shaozong for one day, maybe!" He smiled faintly and said: "If I really died in the city in battle, it would be considered loyal to the emperor. Queen, I will wait outside first."

He didn't wait for the queen to say more and went out.

Chi Danmei was waiting outside the door. When she saw Qi Ning coming out, she wanted to speak but stopped. Qi Ning chuckled and said, "What do you want to say?"

"If I haven't found him when the city is broken, I will come back to take you with me." Chi Danmei hesitated for a moment before sighing: "You have tried your best. Once the city is broken, there is no need to throw your life here."

The two walked to a secluded place, and then Qi Ning said, "I will buy you more time as much as possible. Cracking the imperial city is an image for Xiao Shaozong.

When the city is broken, it means that he has really got what he wants, so as long as the imperial city is not broken, he can attract him here. After leaving the city, you must contact the people of the Beggars' Sect and never act alone. Moreover, those two places must take action at the same time, so that they can be unexpected." After thinking for a while, he said: "If the Yulin Guard has made every effort to defend the city, with the strength of the imperial city, there should be no problem for a day, so your actions must be fast."

Chi Danmei frowned and said, "What if there is no emperor in both places you mentioned?"

"That only means I'm not lucky." Qi Ning sighed: "I'll lose this bet between me and Xiao Shaozong."

Chi Danmei knew that Qi Ning was in a real desperate situation now. She left this time and didn't know if she could see each other again. She bit her lip and suddenly opened her arms to protect Qi Ning's neck. Her fragrant lips were pressed against Qi Ning's lips. Qi Ning hugged Chi Danmei's waist and kissed Chi Danmei for a moment. Then she said softly: "You should pack up and prepare first, find a set of palace maids' clothes to change. The queen is about to set off, and you will get out of the city together in the crowd."

Chi Dan Mei knew that she was also carrying a heavy responsibility, so she nodded gently, bit her lip, twisted her waist, and flashed away.

Qi Ning naturally had no doubt about Chi Danmei's ability. It was really easy to disguise herself in disguise and mix into the crowd.

He looked up at the night sky. When dawn was approaching, he suddenly heard someone beside him say, "Duke, the queen is welcome!" Qi Ning turned his head and looked at it. A palace maid stood respectfully on the side and lowered his head to invite him into the room. Qi Ning thought that the queen was going to clean up quickly, so he was about to go inside. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind blowing. The palace maid who invited him into the room suddenly had a dagger in his hand and stabbed him straight in. The two were very close. Qi Ning didn't expect that the palace maid in Fengyi Palace would attack him. He was surprised. The palace maid was not only ruthless but also very fast. He knew at a glance that he was not a mediocre person. If it were someone else, the stab would be successful, but her goal was Qi Ning.

Before the dagger hit, Qi Ning shouted softly, and did not dodge, and reached out to grab the dagger. The palace maid obviously did not expect Qi Ning to snatch the blade red. She twisted her wrist and stabbed Qi Ning's palm. However, Qi Ning's wrist became faster. It seemed that she had expected that the palace maid would change her move. She flipped back and avoided the dagger. Then her palm suddenly slapped down and hit the wrist heavily. The palace maid's arm numb, and the dagger fell off her hand, but the palace maid's momentum did not diminish.

Still moving forward, Qi Ning was not polite. He waved his arm and the back of his hand had hit the shoulder of the palace maid. Although he waved it casually, his internal strength was amazing. Even if he only used 50% of his skills, few people in the world could withstand it. Fortunately, Qi Ning wanted to leave a living mouth, but he didn't want to take his life immediately. Even so, the palace maid's body flew straight out, hitting a stone pillar, and then landed heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
