Chapter 699 August 14: Strong Suppression

Outside the emperor's bedroom, the wind and rain stopped for a while.

The important officials in the court who learned about the changes in the palace did not have time to change their clothes and hurried to the outside of the bedroom.

Prime Minister Liu Quji, wearing a bright red court robe, was tall and well-proportioned, with a pair of deep eyes that seemed to see through everything. His face was engraved with traces of time, revealing a calm and restrained look.

With the arrival of Liu Quji, the officials and guards now have settled down a lot, as if they have found a backbone.

"Prime Minister Liu, you are finally here."

An official stepped forward and explained the situation here to Liu Quji in general, asking him what to do?

After Liu Quji realized the seriousness of the matter, he raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Where is the seventh prince, has the seventh prince come?"

The official who explained the matter to Liu Quji was stunned.

The seventh prince, the eldest son of Concubine Liu, was thirteen years old, and Concubine Liu was Liu Quji's daughter.

Now that Liu Quji said this, the official couldn't help but think more.

You know, after the Third Prince seized power, Liu Quji immediately surrendered to the Third Prince and joined the Third Prince's camp. He has been loyal for many years and has not done anything to let the Third Prince down. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Quji is the Third Prince's confidant.

But now it seems.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

"The Fifth Prince is here."

At this moment, a young man in a python robe came forward under the protection of several armored soldiers, followed by several important officials in the court.

The Fifth Prince, seventeen years old, is both civil and military, and has outstanding appearance, but his mother, Concubine Jing, is just a commoner from a small family who was selected from the people and summoned to the palace. Without the support of his relatives, he has a low sense of existence among all the sons of Xingluo, and no one follows him.

Unexpectedly, now that something happened in the palace, even he got involved, and there were several ministers in the court following him.

As the officers and soldiers of the Third Prince's camp, they immediately started to discuss, and some stepped forward to stop him, scolding the Fifth Prince for bringing troops into the palace. Did he want to rebel?

The Fifth Prince had a calm face and stood on the righteousness, saying that his Third Brother was held hostage by the gangsters and broke into his father's bedroom. He brought people to rescue the emperor and his Third Brother.

After that, he shouted towards the bedroom, asking the gangsters to release his father and his Third Brother.

He also said that he could exchange with his Third Brother and let him be the hostage of the gangsters.

When Liu Quji heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

What a Fifth Prince, he usually underestimated him.

Even if the Third Prince was safe, the Fifth Prince's actions today could not be said to be wrong.

After all, the slogan they raised was to rescue the emperor and the Third Prince.

Not long after, the Seventh Prince also came.

It can be said that in just a short period of time, almost all the "people from all walks of life" in the court were here.

Almost everyone has arrived, so they must come up with a solution. It is impossible to keep the stalemate like this.

The most appropriate solution finally discussed was to send someone in to negotiate with the criminals to see what the other party wanted to do.

Liu Quji signaled the Seventh Prince. This was a great opportunity to show off.

But the Seventh Prince was afraid. At this time, he actually took a step back and shrank his body.

Seeing this scene, Liu Quji wanted to curse in his heart, but with his scheming, it was impossible for him to be so impulsive, so he had to persuade the Seventh Prince kindly.

But before he could speak, the Fifth Prince took the lead and said in a deep voice in front of everyone: "I will go."

Everyone was silent, with different thoughts.

Just as the Fifth Prince walked towards the bedroom.

The door of the emperor's bedroom opened, and Princess Deyi appeared at the door with Xing Luo.

Xing Luo was not a puppet emperor. Although he had been bedridden for many years due to poisoning, he still had the majesty of an emperor. He glanced at everyone and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not dead yet. Why are so many of you gathered outside my bedroom? Are you going to rebel?"

When this was said, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Some ministers were shocked and took several steps back, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Your Majesty can get out of bed and talk. Is this a cure?

You must know that since Xing Luo suddenly got sick and was bedridden, the imperial doctors in the palace have come to treat Xing Luo, but they were helpless. For this reason, they even spent a lot of money to hire famous doctors from other countries, but there was no improvement.

So the civil and military officials gradually thought that Xing Luo's illness was incurable.

And now Xing Luo got out of bed and talked, which was obviously beyond their expectations, and they were inevitably a little surprised.

Liu Quji was also a little surprised, but his expression was relatively calm. He bowed his hands and said respectfully: "I heard that a gangster had taken the third prince into your palace, Your Majesty. I was worried about the safety of Your Majesty and the third prince, so I rushed here as soon as possible. Now that Your Majesty is fine and in good health, I am relieved. God bless our Yelang."

The other ministers echoed Liu Quji's words.

The seventh prince was simply carried here by someone, and he had no intention of doing so. Seeing that his father was not only fine, but also recovered from his illness, he, who was originally timid, became bolder and stepped forward: "God bless, congratulations to my father for recovering from his serious illness and being in good health."

"Xiaoqi is thoughtful." Xingluo was also relieved. Before getting out of bed, he was still worried that he had been bedridden for so many years, and the ministers were no longer afraid of him. Some of them could not scare them. If that happened, it would be embarrassing.

The fifth prince glanced at the bedroom, then bowed and said, "God bless father, and may he be in good health. I wonder where the criminals who held my third brother hostage are, and where my third brother is?"

"Here he is."

Chen Mo carried the unconscious Xing Yin, walked out of the palace from Nalan Yiren, and threw Xing Yin in front of everyone.

"Protect Your Majesty."

"Escort."

"Your Majesty, be careful."

"Bold thief, don't hurt our emperor."

The clever minister immediately shouted and began to express himself.

The guards also began to step forward.

"Everyone stop." Princess Deyi shouted loudly at this time, looked at Xingluo who was coughing lightly next to her, and said: "Quiet, your Majesty has something to say."

Everyone stopped and became quiet.

After Xingluo calmed down for a while, he said calmly: "There are no gangsters at all. These two are the benefactors Deyi invited to treat me. Don't be presumptuous."

As he said that, he glanced at the unconscious Xing Yin and said solemnly: "As for the third prince Xing Yin, I have decided to put him on death row and be executed at a later date."

"Wow"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

A gangster becomes a benefactor.

The third prince who was kidnapped was instead thrown into death row.

What happened in this short period of time?

The ministers who belonged to the third prince's camp suddenly felt their hearts pounding and their faces turned pale.

Just when they don't know what they are doing.

"etc."

A cool and graceful voice sounded behind everyone.

"Ta-da."

Along with this cold and graceful voice, there were also the sounds of dense footsteps and the scraping of iron armor.

Everyone looked back and saw a large group of black-armored soldiers quickly coming up and surrounding them all.

Queen Yelang stepped forward, surrounded by a group of black-armored soldiers.

"They are the Imperial Guards from the Beijing camp."

"The general's people."

"The Queen is here."

The faces of the Fifth Prince and Liu Quji darkened slightly.

The officials who also belonged to the third prince's camp looked overjoyed, as if they had found a backbone, and they all moved towards the queen.

"Queen, you are here. The gangster used some kind of magic to trick Your Majesty into sending the third prince to death row. You have to make the decision for the third prince."

An official said this, and then many officials agreed, thinking that Xingluo was bewitched and controlled by the gangster's sorcery.

After all, they were firmly bound to the third prince, and they both prospered and suffered losses.

"Ahem, queen, are you going to rebel?" Xingluo shouted angrily.

Originally, Xingyin and the queen were quarreling with each other, but Xingluo believed that it was the rebellious son Xingyin who forced him to do so. He did not intend to blame the queen, and planned to deal with the matter coldly. After all, it was not something that could be brought to light.

But now that he saw the queen coming with troops, he knew that this matter might not go well.

"Your Majesty, the third prince is loyal to your majesty. During the years when you were suddenly ill and bedridden, he handled the state affairs in an orderly manner and the country's strength is booming. There is no merit but hard work. But now that you are healthy, you will take care of the third prince. Being put on death row will make it difficult for me not to suspect that you were bewitched by the gangster's sorcery," the queen said.

Everyone immediately started whispering. After all, what the queen said was very reasonable.

Besides, there must be a reason for putting the third prince on death row.

"Ahem."

Xingluo's illness was not completely cured. He became angry one after another and coughed without stopping.

"Queen, do you really not know why this traitor was sent to death row?" Xingluo said.

How dare Xingluo say this in front of the ministers? This matter is a scandal for the royal family.

The queen guessed that Xingluo did not dare to say it in front of everyone, and said: "I don't know, please make it clear to your majesty."

"You" Xingluo was so angry that he could hardly speak.

Princess Deyi on the side was so frightened that she quickly cheered up for Xingluoshun, then raised her eyes and said: "The reason why your majesty suffered a sudden illness was because of the poison administered by the third prince. The poison came from the third prince's master, who was also known as the doctor in the Western Regions. the high priest.

Not only His Majesty, but also the Crown Prince did not escape the poisonous hands of the third prince. In addition, my mother, the eldest princess of Yanyang, was also killed by the third prince. "

"Hiss." After hearing this, everyone took a breath, but they were not surprised, because they had already guessed that this matter was related to the third prince, but no one dared to say it in person.

"Deyi, I treat you well, why do you collude with gangsters, fabricate lies, and harm the third prince?" The queen shouted sharply at Princess Deyi: "Besides, what you say is unfounded, do you have any evidence? ? You said that the third prince admitted it, how could I know whether you had surrendered or not?

Gentlemen, please see that the third prince's body is still stained with blood. It seems that he was beaten by gangsters. "

Princess Deyi: "..."

Where can she find evidence now?

Seeing Princess Deyi's silence, the queen pressed forward step by step.

"Presumptuous." Xingluo shouted.

"Your Majesty, do you want my help?" Chen Mo said from the side.

Xingluo ignored Chen Mo for the time being, but ordered: "Come here, take the queen down to me."

There was a commotion in the crowd. After looking at each other, the guards began to approach the queen, but were stopped by the black-armored soldiers from the Beijing camp.

"I'll see who dares." The queen showed off her beauty.

The imperial guards and the civil and military officials looked at each other.

"Presumptuous, Queen, are you going to rebel?" Xingluo was so angry that his face turned red.

"I don't dare. It's just that Your Majesty is controlled by the gangster's sorcery. In order to prevent the situation from worsening, I have no choice but to offend you first. Please forgive me." After saying this, the Queen shouted: "Come here, will you?" The gangsters and Princess Deyi are captured by me.”

"Yes."

The black-armored soldiers rushed forward to capture Chen Mo and his men.

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor." Princess Deyi did not expect that the queen would dare to use force in front of His Majesty.

But facing Princess Deyi's shouting to protect the emperor, none of the civil and military officials were moved.

"Bold."

Xing Luo was also a little panicked at this time. He did not expect the queen to be so bold.

"Princess, Yiren, you protect His Majesty."

Chen Mo took a step forward and twisted his neck. He could not help but sympathize with Xing Luo in his heart. It was really a pity for a monarch of a country to fall to this point.

"Kill them." The queen was murderous.

"Bang bang bang"

"Dang dang."

This was completely Chen Mo's personal performance. These black-armored soldiers could not get close to Chen Mo at all and were knocked to the ground. In an instant, wailing sounded one after another.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, why are you standing there? Come on, come on."

The queen was shocked and started to yell hysterically.

Chen Mo frowned slightly. In order to save time and effort, he planned to capture the king first.

He pointed his toes and leaped up. He performed the Yunyou Step, like a breeze, passing over the heads of the crowd and coming to the queen in an instant.

"Queen, be careful." Beside the queen was the deputy general of the general, a fifth-rank warrior. After noticing Chen Mo's intention, he quickly drew the sword from his waist and stabbed Chen Mo.

But in just one encounter, he didn't even see how the other party attacked, and the sword was knocked out. At the moment of his panic, his pupils shrank slightly, and a fist as big as a sandbag hit his face.

After Chen Mo knocked the deputy general unconscious with a punch, he grabbed the queen's arm and took her to Xing Luo.

After Chen Mo let her go, she collapsed on the ground, her face ashen.

The black-armored soldiers of the Beijing camp saw the general being knocked to the ground, his life or death unknown, and the queen being captured. Their faces suddenly changed, and they were leaderless.

Liu Quji saw this and shouted, "Why don't you put down your weapons and surrender quickly?"

A small leader among the guards also reacted belatedly and said, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor."

The guards stood up for a while, and less than one-fifth of the soldiers of the Beijing camp were used to surround the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp saw that the situation was hopeless, so they could only put down their weapons and surrender.

And those officials who belonged to the third prince's camp just now fell to their knees with a plop, shouting "Your Majesty, forgive me."

In order to get rid of the crime, they began to distance themselves from the third prince, and some even said that they were forced.
