Li Mao's several petitions to see Li Yunqiu were rejected, which made him a little uneasy. Maybe something happened in the palace.
Li Yunqiu was not the emperor's concubine, so the palace's scheming could not harm her. The only possibility was that it was related to the prince and Chonghua.
In the past few days, the prince still went to court to handle government affairs. In this case, there was a problem with Chonghua.
Li Hao's eyes were dim and unclear. He stood at the gate of the palace for a long time. He flicked his sleeves and mounted his horse, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Ahem."
Zhan Changfeng closed the memorial and looked up at the old emperor, "Grandfather, please go and rest first."
The old emperor was sitting on a high throne, his body in imperial clothes was a little stooped, his eyes were blue and black, and his health was getting worse.
He took the medicine bowl from the waiter's hand and drank it all, "Nothing serious."
The old emperor felt complicated when facing Zhan Changfeng.
It would be great if she were a man, he would not hesitate to help her eliminate Li Chonghua and let her secure the throne, but it's a pity...
The old emperor covered his heart, feeling cramps coming up in waves, and his face turned pale, "Go back and rest first, you just watch."
The old emperor put his arm on the chamberlain's arm and didn't take more than two steps, his mouth full of fishy sweetness.
Blood overflowed from the lips, and everyone panicked.
Zhan Changfeng stood up in surprise, grabbed his wrist, and used his true energy to sort out his meridians, "Grandpa, hold on, why don't you hurry up and become the imperial doctor!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is overworked and suffering from angina pectoris and asthma. I'm afraid..." Several imperial doctors lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, but the sadness in their words was self-evident.
"Let Shen Yushu, Ling Sheng, Wei Liangzhi, and Li Mao come over. I have something to explain." The old emperor on the dragon bed felt that his time was running out and was ready to explain his funeral affairs. These four people were undoubtedly his chosen ministers.
.
The left and right prime ministers, the grand master, and Duke An.
It's just that Anguo Gong was originally on the old emperor's list of potential candidates, but now he was actually selected as an auxiliary minister.
I don't know if it's because of his relationship with the prince's nephew or because of Li Chonghua.
"Invite them into the palace." Zhan Changfeng ordered. He walked to the dragon bed and put aside the blood-stained veil. He felt something was wrong. The smell of blood had a foul smell.
"Zhan..." The old emperor was furious and held her hand tightly, "I will give you the Emperor's Sword alone. From now on, you will be the emperor of the Yin Dynasty. Don't act rashly or distract your military power. Keep a low profile and cultivate your own power."
Team, cough..."
The old emperor spit out another mouthful of blood, which was mixed with black blood.
Zhan Changfeng's eyes suddenly changed, "Someone, take down these imperial doctors!"
"Who gave you the courage to poison the emperor's grandfather!" She fixed her sharp eyes on these people and was extremely angry.
I usually take precautions, but I can't prevent the imperial doctor from poisoning me. It's a joke.
"You are wronged, Your Highness. The loyalty of humble ministers can be learned from the sun and the moon!"
"Your Majesty is not poisoned, he is just sick from overwork. Please give your Majesty a clear warning!"
Zhan Changfeng's tone was cold, "Take them down, I want to know who is in charge."
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A blessed imperial doctor suddenly broke away from the guards and crawled to the feet of Zhan Changfeng, "Your Highness, you can't cross the river and burn the bridge. This is what you ordered me to do!"
The old emperor vomited out another mouthful of blood with disbelief in his eyes.
Zhan Chang said in a very arrogant manner, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think that you can get away with it by confusing right and wrong."
"Pull him down!"
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, You Cheng Ling Sheng and An Guo Gong Li Mao broke in.
It would take at least half a stick of incense to get the palace to their house. There was no reason for it to come so quickly, but now no one except Zhan Changfeng had time to pay attention to this.
Ling Sheng's face was solemn, "Is the prince guilty? If not, why not let him finish what he said!"
Her voice sounded as if she had already determined that she was the one who ordered the imperial doctor to poison her.
"What's the benefit of poisoning the imperial grandfather?" Zhan Changfeng sneered, "You two arrived in such time, you must have been prepared."
"Prince, please don't accuse people unjustly. I, Ling Sheng, have a clear conscience. Only those who feel guilty will bite others."
The imperial doctor seamlessly said, "Prince, you ordered your ministers to poison His Majesty's medicinal diet a year ago, so that Your Majesty would die from the poison!"
"Come quickly, the prince is plotting to kill your majesty and usurp the throne!" I don't know who shouted first, and there was chaos inside and outside the palace.
Suddenly someone among the guards drew their swords at their colleagues, and some members of the Imperial Guards also faced each other with swords.
From time to time, the sound of handovers of troops could be heard, and Jiao Zhan Changfeng realized that this long-planned plot was going to kill both her and the emperor.
"Okay, very good." Zhan Changfeng took a step back and said, "Do it."
A bloodstain appeared on Ling Sheng's neck, and before he could react, his eyes began to drop.
Li Hao's expression tightened, Qiang~
The two daggers offset each other.
An Guogong, who had always looked like a frail scholar, was actually a master of martial arts. He fought with the secret guard Ling San and was not weak at all.
"Yi Zhan has plotted against Your Majesty, killed loyal people, and is unkind, filial, and disloyal. How can he be an emperor!" Li Hao used his inner strength, and these words rang out like a bell, and even the guards at the palace gate could hear it.
Zuo Cheng, the grand master who was about to step into the palace gate, was shocked, "What on earth is going on?"
The soldiers who had been waiting rushed out in panic, "My two gentlemen, go and ask the Imperial City garrison for help. The prince is forcing the palace, and your majesty is in danger!"
"This is the tiger talisman that Master Ling desperately handed over." He handed half of the bloody tiger talisman to Zuo Cheng, his eyes eager.
The garrison in the imperial city directly obeyed the orders of the emperor. However, just in case the emperor could not recruit him in time, he made a tiger talisman and divided it into two parts, which were kept by the left and right prime ministers. In times of crisis, the two parts were combined into one as if the emperor himself was present.
"this..."
Zuo Cheng. The grand master looked hesitant.
"The prince would not do such a thing, among these..." Before the grand master could finish his sentence, a group of imperial guards rushed out from the right.
"The prince has an order to close the palace gate and don't let them escape!"
As expected, the palace gate guards closed the door.
"Let's go!"
Zuo Cheng and Grand Master realized that something was not right and had no time to think about it, so he fled out of the palace in panic.
No matter what happened in the palace, it was always right to save him.
Zuo Cheng drove his carriage and rushed out of the imperial city, while the grand master summoned the civil servants and generals to advance towards the palace.
The sword was unsheathed and Zhan Changfeng said in a solemn voice: "Ling Sheng and Li Mao intend to rebel. The country is in danger. All the soldiers will follow me to kill!"
Li Mao's ancestors had the Li Family Army. Although the Li Family Army was weakened and dispersed layer by layer, it still existed.
Among the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City garrison were former disciples and subordinates of the Li family. Li Hao had been planning for many years and finally showed his fangs at this time.
The rebellion of half of the Imperial Guards plunged the palace into civil strife, but Zhan Changfeng was surrounded by secret guards and guarded by sergeants, so it was not easy to conquer.
Li Hao was anxious in his heart. Although he had already accused the crown prince and was about to lure the Imperial City garrison into the palace, there was no guarantee that nothing would go wrong in the process, giving her a chance to stand up.
Zhan Changfeng's sword was covered in blood. This was the first time she had killed someone with her own hands, and it was also the first time she had killed so many people.
The strong smell of blood almost made her nauseous.
However, her face remained expressionless, indifferent and calm.
Zhan Changfeng's side forced Li Hao out of the way, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Shaking off the blood on his sword, Zhan Changfeng stepped into the Yangxin Palace and went to the old emperor, "Grandpa, I won't let you die."
She took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and said, "This is the elixir given by the master. It is said to be able to cure hundreds of poisons. I will take it for you right now."
The old emperor held her wrist, breathing heavily, with sharp eyes, "Is it you?"
He was poisoned and she was so lucky that she had the antidote?
Zhan Changfeng's eyes closed slightly, "Is this how you think of me?"
