Chapter 213 The fire in the backyard is the most deadly
The Queen Mother's West Palace.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point. Cining stood in front of Ci'an domineeringly, followed by an old nanny, and there were personal maids waiting around.
Ci'an sat at the top of the table, looking shocked.
Why does Cining use the blank summons now?
Although the little emperor was fatuous, he did not interfere with the harem. On the contrary, he provided more and more supplies.
"Do you know what the blank summons means?" Ci'an asked calmly, even though she already understood the thoughts of the woman in front of her.
"The Queen Mother and the two palaces signed a blank will. This imperial edict from the late emperor will override the imperial power of the young emperor and can even depose the emperor!"
Ci Ning spoke word by word, her eyes shining brightly, her whole person seemed to have changed. She still had the usual gentle and dignified demeanor of the Queen Mother, but her cold and cold aura was rising steadily.
"Sister, this will is to protect me and the other two from being bullied in the palace. If everything in this palace is fine, I will not sign it."
Ci'an refused.
The atmosphere is even more depressing.
The last time she wanted to use the blank summons was to depose Zhu Youde and establish a new king, but Cining refused.
She had seen everything the little emperor did these days, and she was glad that Cining refused to sign the will, otherwise Daliang would have lost a wise king.
The little emperor seems to be fatuous, but every time he makes a move, he can get unexpected results.
After purging the government, setting up supplementary examinations for the imperial examination, pacifying the rebellious parties, etc., Ci'an gradually came to regard the late emperor's humble son with admiration.
Now that Ci Ning holds a blank testament, Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passersby.
Cining wants to rebel!
silence.
silence.
Endless silence.
Ci Ning suddenly sneered and lost her patience. She turned her head halfway and glanced at the old woman behind her.
The old grandma moved, took two steps forward and approached Empress Dowager Ci'an, suddenly burst out with strength and raised her hands to strangle her neck.
The strong strength made it difficult for Ci'an to breathe. His face turned red and he slapped the old woman's arms with both hands in an attempt to break free.
But the more she struggled, the more painful it became, but within a few breaths her consciousness became blurred.
"My good sister, if you don't drink a toast, you will be fined with wine! Auntie Rong, press her signature!"
After giving the order, Grandma Rong took Ci'an's weak palm and signed her name and seal.
Cining picked up the cinnabar pen and wrote the contents of the blank testament word by word.
"The Queen Mothers of the two palaces signed the late emperor's will!"
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict: Emperor Zhu Youde of Daliang is fatuous and violent, which has led to political turmoil. The emperor is now deposed and the Queen Mother of the East Palace is in charge of state affairs!"
Outside the hall, Grandma Rong read out her will,
Cining held the summons in his hand, glanced at the guards, and said in a deep voice: "The late emperor's summons is here, can you listen to it?"
The guards were shocked and looked at Cining in disbelief.
Everyone knows that the late emperor left a blank legacy, but they never imagined that the two empress dowagers would actually use the legacy and abolish the current emperor!
The guard leader's mind exploded and his thoughts were racing.
They are all His Majesty's bodyguards, and they must not betray His Majesty!
"Anyone who follows me today to attack the faint king will receive a reward of ten thousand taels! Reward according to merit!"
"Anyone who doesn't obey today will be punished by the Nine Clans!"
As soon as Ci Ning said this, hundreds of guardsmen were in a dilemma.
This is forcing them to take sides!
Seeing that no one expressed his position for a moment, Ci Ning glanced at Aunt Rong, and immediately one of the guards fell to the ground with his head.
The other guards looked at the head that rolled down to their feet, panicked, and knelt down on the hand with a plop.
"Liu Ma, the leader of the Guards, is willing to listen to the Queen Mother's orders!"
"We are willing to listen to the Queen Mother's orders!"
Within a quarter of an hour, thousands of guards in the palace surrendered to Cining.
"The emperor's stupidity is due to the empress's lewdness and disorderly government. Today, I will act on behalf of the late emperor! All officers and men, follow me to Kunning Palace to capture the Demon Queen!"
…………………………
The three and outer three floors of Kunning Palace were completely surrounded.
Luo Xian, who was wearing a phoenix robe, was frightened by the sudden change. When she saw Ci Ning entering the palace, she suddenly realized.
Cining finally rebelled!
"Give me the Phoenix Seal!" Ci Ning approached Luo Xian and said without any doubt.
"Don't even think about it!"
After reacting, Luo Xian opened the window and wanted to seek guards, but her heart dropped into an ice cellar when she saw thousands of guards outside the palace.
Your Majesty led his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, but the thousands of remaining guards in the palace surrendered to the Queen Mother. If Feng Yin was handed over to her, the harem would be entirely at Cining's disposal.
A fire in the backyard can be said to have damaged the foundation, and the Phoenix Seal must not be handed over.
Ci Ning was not annoyed at all, and looked at the resolute Luo Xian quietly, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, footsteps and the sound of a woman struggling were heard outside the palace.
Luo Xian's body was shaken, Qingyu and Qian'er!
There is more than one beauties in the harem. The Liu family twins have Cining's trust and will be fine, but Qingyu and Qian'er...
Oops……
Luo Xian, who was originally determined, also panicked. If the Phoenix Seal is gone, she can snatch it back. If something happens to Qingyu and Qian'er...
Just as she thought, Ci Ning threatened the beauty's life.
"Hand over the Phoenix Seal, and I will spare your lives! Otherwise... you will all die! This palace is so big, it is only a matter of time before you find the Phoenix Seal..."
The dagger in Grandma Rong's hand was pressed against Qingyu's slender neck, and traces of blood oozed out.
"No! I hand over the Phoenix Seal!" Luo Xian suppressed the panic in her heart and stood up to get the Phoenix Seal.
But at this moment, the door of the main hall was kicked open, and Li Renjie rushed into the main hall, followed by dozens of imperial guards and escorts confronting him.
As soon as he entered the hall, several maids holding long swords surrounded him.
A third-rate warrior?
Li Renjie frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the usually weak maid was actually a warrior.
"Li Renjie, are you going to rebel?!" Ci Ning stared at Li Renjie and asked, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Although there are thousands of guards outside the palace, the Jinyi Guards under Li Renjie are one against ten, and they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Thinking about it, she revealed her legacy and said word by word: "I will clean up the evil kings for the late emperor. Is Chief Li interested in following me?"
Seeing Li Renjie's silence, she continued: "For the time being, I will grant you the title of General Protector of the Country, commanding the escort army and thirty thousand elite troops outside the city. When the matter is completed, I will give you a fiefdom and make you the king of the vassals. How about that?"
Faced with the huge temptation, Li Renjie thought for a moment and asked: "Seriously?"
Ci Ning smiled and nodded, showing an expression of determination.
Luo Xian was heartbroken and looked at Li Renjie with pleading eyes.
After a long time, Li Renjie nodded and said softly: "Okay! I am willing to follow you!"
Luo Xian's hope was shattered, and the fire in her eyes completely dimmed.
On the other hand, Ci Ning glanced at Luo Xian and showed a mocking smile.
Even a good and loyal general cannot resist the temptation of power. If he refuses, it only means that he is not given enough.
Li Renjie walked towards Cining step by step, but the moment he approached Cining, his body flashed, he pulled out a thin sword from his sleeve and stabbed him!
Soon after, Grandma Rong burst out with a frightening force and rushed towards Li Renjie.
The two bodies collided and each retreated backwards.
Jinyiwei took the opportunity to save Qingyu and Qianer.
Grandma Rong took a few steps back to stabilize her figure, her wrinkled face remained calm. Li Renjie stabilized his figure and took a deep breath to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Before he had time to think about it, he took Luo Xian and rushed out of the palace. Dozens of guards in golden robes surrounded him and rushed out of the palace, with thousands of guards chasing after him.
Cining found Feng Yin and went to Fengtian Palace with the late emperor's summons and hundreds of elite soldiers.
She wants to summon the ministers, take control of the government, and assemble elite soldiers!
Secret orders were spread outside the palace one after another, and the ministers rushed into the palace...
