Chapter 173 Two Women Forced Into the Palace

Shi Jiu thought about it and felt that Lianyi was right. If it weren't for these time travellers, there wouldn't be so much resentment. In theory, it was right to do so. After he put this aside, he changed the topic directly.

"The second daughter of the original body has almost gathered the manpower and is now entering the capital in batches. Aren't you ready?"

"What are you preparing for? If she has the ability to kill me, the throne will naturally belong to her. If she doesn't have the ability, just wait to be imprisoned!"

Lianyi threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box and said nonchalantly.

"What a big heart!"

Three days later, Fengdi sent a letter from Flying Eagle, bringing back the news of the great defeat of the Panlong Kingdom. At the same time, the news came back that the second princess was entangled with the main generals of the Zhao family, and was preparing to force the palace when they returned to the capital to receive the reward. .

Lianyi was very calm and summoned Fengshou and asked her to arrange for people to keep an eye on the commander of the Imperial Guard. The second princess called the Imperial Guard when Zhuo Xiuyuan came to rescue him last time, and she also found out the commander of the Imperial Guard. It was supported by the Zhao family and was regarded as the natural ally of the second princess.

Then, taking the opportunity to prepare for the triumphal march of the army, the guards of the entire palace were replaced by the Queen's personal guards, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

But Xianshijun, who was in the palace, noticed something was wrong. He endured it for two days, and finally went to see Lianyi and asked with worry on his face:

"Queen, something happened in the palace, please don't hide it from me."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that some people are anxious and want to sit in my position."

Ripple said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xian Shijun's pupils shrank and he said anxiously:

"The Empress will never be the daughter of the Third Emperor. She told me personally that she has no ability to sit in that position and has never thought about it."

"Axian, I didn't say she was the Third Princess. Don't get angry in such a hurry."

Lianyi smiled and pushed the tea cup in front of her to Xian Shijun, telling him not to worry.

Xian Shijun felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He held the tea cup to steady himself and said firmly:

"I'll be with you!"

"good!"

Twenty days later, the troops participating in the war arrived in the capital. The second princess, who had quietly returned three days in advance, had already joined the large army. After nodding to Zhao Li, she joined the team returning to the city and accepted. The people of the capital lined the streets to welcome him.

The 80,000 troops who returned together did not enter the city, but were stationed thirty miles outside the city. After the reward was over, they would return to the city where they were originally stationed.

When the sun set, General Fengming suddenly appeared at the army garrison thirty miles away. Holding an eagle talisman, he mobilized 50,000 people in light clothing and headed straight for the palace.

At this time, the palace banquet had started in the evening, and Lianyi was sitting at the head of the banquet, entertaining the generals who had returned in triumph.

"My dear generals, you have worked so hard. This time you were able to defeat the Panlong Kingdom in one fell swoop and tear off a piece of flesh from their bodies. You all have contributed a lot to this. I would like to toast you with this glass of wine!"

"Thank you Queen!"

The generals stood up, took the glass of wine, and after drinking it down, Lianyi raised the glass again and said with a solemn expression:

"This glass of wine is dedicated to the soldiers who died in the war. They are the pride of our Fengqi Kingdom. After the rewards are over, they will be buried in peace and tombstones will be built so that future generations will always remember their sacrifices!"

"Always remember!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After two rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the palace banquet gradually became more and more lively, but the Xian Shijun who had been sitting under Lianyi's hands had not touched a drop of wine. He was always alert to everything around him.

With a "whoosh" sound, an arrow shot from outside the hall door and went straight towards Ripple. Xian Shijun immediately stood up without hesitation and tried to block the sword with his body, but was pushed by Ripple and fell back to his original position. The arrow grazed Ripple's earlobe, shattered an earring, and shot into the throne.

"Escort!"

Huizhi's mezzo-soprano sounded in the hall, and all the generals who were changing cups and cups jumped up and touched their waists. However, when they entered the hall, they all took off their swords.

At this time, the maid behind them quickly handed a sword back to the master's hand, and then she also held a short sword and rushed to the throne, becoming the Queen's first line of defense.

At this time, the eldest princess, the third princess, and the Xian Shijun had all gathered in front of Lianyi. Their faces were solemn. Only Lianyi's expression was very calm. He touched Kongkong's earlobe and said with some displeasure:

"These are my emperor's favorite cat-eye earrings. How could I ruin one of them?"

"Mother Queen, you are old! It's time to give up your throne!"

At this time, the second princess, wearing armor and holding a sharp sword, strode into the palace under the protection of Zhao Jiajun.

"What if I don't give up my seat?"

Ripple asked quietly.

"The Queen Mother has written the edict of abdication to me. You are the Supreme Queen and have a high status. If you don't write it, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between mother and daughter."

"Even if I write an edict to abdicate, you will not let me live to see the sun on the second day. You want to kill the king. This is unfilial!

Because of your ambition, you united with the Panlong Kingdom to assassinate your third sister, and put those dead soldiers into Zhuoxiu Garden, hoping to borrow a knife to kill someone, but it turned out that the knife killed your father. This is unjust!

Those grain merchants who were driving up grain prices were also put into Fengqi Country by you through the hands of Zhao Li, the border guard, to trap the people in dire straits. This is unkind!

How do you, an unfilial, unkind, unjust, immoral and incompetent person, have the right to sit on the throne? "

Lianyi's voice was cold and without any emotion, and he listed the crimes of the second princess one by one, which shocked the generals in the hall. They did not expect that the princess had already done this for the sake of the throne.

"Shut up!"

The second princess's face was already red. This was the first time since she was a child that her mother had scolded her like this.

"Second Princess, don't be irritated by a few words. The sword is in our hands, and our Zhao family army is also outside the palace. We must succeed today!"

Zhao Li squinted her eyes and whispered in the ear of the second princess.

"Ha, so I said you are stupid. Even if you succeed in forcing the palace today, won't you be restrained? The person outside the door is the Zhao Jiajun, not the Wu Jiajun."

Lianyi sneered, drew out his sword, injected the spiritual power of the third level of Qi Refining into the sword, then swung the sword in full view of everyone, and said only one word, "Kill!"

In the next moment, Zhao Li, who had been confident of winning before, was directly split into two halves. The moment the blood splashed, everyone around the second princess was knocked over by a huge force, and the second princess was not spared.

After a brief period of silence, the generals refreshed their spirits, held the swords in their hands, and charged into the Zhao army on the opposite side like a charge.

Ripple drained her spiritual energy, but it also shocked everyone. She stared coldly at the second princess who raised her sword to resist. Her eyes were full of disappointment, thinking that this one could hold on longer, but in the end she was so vulnerable.

The generals here protected the civil servants and retreated to the Queen's side. The sound of fighting outside the palace had reached the ears of everyone in the palace, and the fire lit up half of the sky.
