Chapter 252 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 41

Tao Ran and the queen cooperated in this act in order to make the emperor lose his position.

Sure enough, the emperor was fooled and directly advanced the plan.

very good!

In this way, there are many variables.

For example, the emperor had to take action before the hunting party could enter the hinterland of the paddock.

For example, the emperor's layout and response time will be greatly shortened.

For example, the emperor had to allocate part of his manpower to Ye Ruqiu, and even to keep an eye on and deal with the queen. This is very important. It not only weakens the emperor's power, but also makes the emperor, who has fewer manpower, rely more on the Yu family.

In addition, once the emperor takes action in Beijing and the queen has a name, she can easily organize a counterattack.

Therefore, Taoran was actually more excited than the emperor.

If she plays this well, her mission may be completed.

Once the emperor's seizure of power begins, neither the officials nor the royal family will tolerate him anymore, and he will be completely finished...

The night passed.

Before dawn, the hunting teams were assembled and each entered the paddock to choose a direction to start hunting.

The emperor himself led a team, followed by five hundred of his most trusted personal guards.

King Ning and several generals also led a team each.

Among the officials and the royal family, anyone who knew some martial arts basically entered the paddock.

The internal defense of the paddock is the responsibility of the Royal Guards. At this time, nearly 10,000 Royal Guards have been distributed throughout the paddock...

As for the affairs of the palace, they were left to Prince Heng to coordinate.

In order not to make the guests who did not participate in the hunting boring, various arrangements were made in the palace. Even though the emperor is not here, there are still big banquets in the palace...

After the emperor's team entered the paddock, they walked along the outer perimeter where the terrain was the gentlest.

The emperor planned to wait on two nearby hills. When the time came, he would lead the team and rush out of the paddock, catching the palace by surprise first...

Today is a sunny day with no clouds in the sky. It looks like a good day! He was in high spirits and just wished that time would pass faster...

In the capital, the emperor's secret guards did not expect that the queen in the palace would take action before dawn. They didn't even expect that the queen was really generous for Ye Ruqiu. In addition to mobilizing 300 guards, she also mobilized 500 people from Shuntian Mansion.

A full eight hundred people?

The secret guards were shocked.

As for that?

Are you going to such great lengths of war just over a pregnant woman?

They also tasted it. The reason why the queen mobilized people from Shuntian Mansion was not because there was insufficient manpower in the palace, but because she had a great purpose.

The people in Shuntian Mansion are multi-minded and belong to local officers and soldiers. The birth and living environment of these people are too complicated. What they know is equivalent to the whole capital knowing it.

The queen is so cruel!

Asking the Shuntian Mansion to cooperate would be tantamount to telling the people of the entire capital that the demon concubine in Ganlu Temple was pregnant.

And whenever they meet the Queen's people, they will undoubtedly tell everyone in the capital that even if the Emperor becomes a cuckold again, he will still protect the enchanting concubine. In this way, the public outrage this time will be much greater than last time!

The queen wants to make the emperor lose face, ruin the emperor's reputation, and make Ye Ruqiu's reputation even more ruined. She will never be able to climb up!

The queen left no escape route for the emperor!

The secret guard chief frowned...

So, do they really want to confront the Queen's 800 people? It's not that they are afraid of having no chance of winning, but that they are afraid of a river of blood! is it necessary? Whether they are the guards in the palace or the officers and soldiers in the capital, they are all our own people, right? The secret guard captain felt unhappy. After all, the original intention of Taizu Taizong to set up secret guards was not to let them fight among themselves...

The secret guard commander didn't want to go on a killing spree and made a decision immediately.

"Gather our manpower, go to Ganlu Temple before these 800 people, and escort Qiu Fei away!"

If they strike first, they can avoid a meaningless fight.

Everything is going smooth.

The two hundred secret guards quickly went up the mountain, and in only two quarters of an hour, without any loss, they brought Ye Ruqiu out and stuffed her into the carriage.

A group of people protected the carriage and rushed out as fast as possible.

However, when they reached the foot of the mountain and were about to pass through the forest, they discovered that the forest was densely packed with arrows aimed at them.

This... there are at least two thousand people!

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly, so the other party had been waiting here for a long time!

Just wait for them to leave the scope of Ganlu Temple and catch them all.

Ten against one, the opponent also has long-range weapons, and their winning rate is almost non-existent!

To make matters worse, his men took a look after climbing the tree and told him: "There are officers and soldiers coming from the outside!"

The captain of the guard climbed up the tree and took a look, and it was true.

This is not just two thousand, but at least four thousand!

The emperor wanted to catch the cicada by surprise, but in fact, it was the queen who really wanted the mantis to catch the cicada, right?

The queen already knew they would come to the rescue! So he had been dormant nearby for a long time, waiting for them to assemble and bring Qiu Fei, so that they could not fly.

It's a shame that in this situation, they couldn't even notify the emperor.

With so many arrows pointing at them, even the pigeons can't fly out!

"Lingfeng, what are you doing?"

A female voice came, and the corner of the guard's lips twitched.

From the forest dozens of feet away, who was walking out protected by the left and right, who else could it be if she wasn't the Queen?

On that day, the late emperor handed over the secret guard to the emperor in front of the empress. Empress Chen had met Ling Feng at that time. So although she didn't know the other secret guards, she knew Ling Feng.

The captain of the guard was called by name, so he could only lead a group of secret guards to greet the queen.

Under this situation, facing the empress and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in the capital, they felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Very good, it's good that you all know me! On behalf of the imperial court and the royal family, I am here to capture the demon concubine."

The queen took out the booklet that exposed Ye Ruqiu.

"This document has been approved by the four ministers of Gu Ming and Prince Heng of the royal family, stamped by the emperor, and handed over to me! I must capture the demon concubine today! Ling Feng, you are disobeying the imperial court and the royal family now. Is this considered treason? Who gave you the right to take away the demon concubine from Ganlu Temple!"

Ling Feng now just wants to change his name to Ling Luan.

The queen is so cruel!

In just three sentences, they will be labeled as rebels!

It would be disloyal for them to betray the emperor.

If they act according to the emperor's wishes, they will be disobedient and offend the royal family and the court at the same time.

No matter what you do, it’s wrong!

Queen: "Ling Feng, since I have come forward, I am giving you a chance. If you hand over the demon concubine, I will not pursue you this time. But if you insist on going your own way, you will be against the entire imperial court! The imperial court will You pursue it to the end, and by then, you will be hunted by the whole world!"

Ling Feng hasn't spoken yet, but Ye Ruqiu is going crazy.

The recent days have been too difficult. She was on tenterhooks every day, fearing that she would be killed and that the emperor would change his mind. She was locked up in this ungrateful place, without even a piece of meat to eat. Day by day, she could no longer survive. She is also pregnant. She can't eat what she wants or can't eat. She feels like vomiting when she drinks water. Her skin is dull and her complexion is sallow. She doesn't look like a human being or a ghost.

She has endured so much, isn't she just waiting for today?

Give her to the queen?

Will she be eaten alive?
