"Where is Lao Liu? Where is he now?" Qi Huang asked again.

Luo Fengtang regained his concentration in an instant, bowed slightly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has led an army to Tongzhou Town, thirty miles outside the capital, at midnight today."

"We will launch an attack on the capital at midnight tonight. If nothing happens, we will know the outcome at dawn tomorrow," he said.

Emperor Qi nodded, "Okay, the big beast is too eager for quick success and his methods of eliminating dissidents are too fierce and unpopular."

"It is unscrupulous to harm your brothers and sisters. When Lao Liu's army approaches the city, you will definitely be vulnerable."

"I'll just sleep a little longer, and wait until the news of success comes from the capital in three days, and then wake me up!"

After saying this, Emperor Qi lay down again, folded his hands on his abdomen, and closed his eyes again.

…

An hour after Emperor Qi said these words, the clock had just sounded, and in the capital where the curfew had been put, a fast horse suddenly galloped straight towards the imperial city.

When the patrolling soldiers saw the sign displayed in the horseman's hand, they did not dare to stop him and let him go all the way.

In the palace.

Emperor Ping Qi Xingming, who had just ascended the throne, was having fun in the Yanxia Palace with his newly crowned Concubine Zi in his arms, when the chamberlain sent him a secret letter.

Emperor Ping scanned the contents with one glance, and his expression changed drastically.

At this time, Concubine Zi just brought a glass of grape wine to Emperor Ping's mouth again, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, why don't you have another drink with me..."

"Go away!" Emperor Ping raised his sleeve and knocked the wine cup out of Zi Fei's hand, and pushed Zi Fei to the ground.

"In the study room, please quickly order Mr. Yan, Mr. Han and others to enter the palace to discuss important matters!"

Emperor Ping put down these words and left in a hurry.

Concubine Zi was left lying on the ground, stroking her sore forehead and feeling at a loss.

…

Kunning Palace.

Auntie was whispering into Queen Han Ruyi's ear.

Han Ruyi's expression changed drastically.

"Mommy, is this true? Did the Sixth Emperor really lead his army to fight back to the capital?" Han Ruyi asked in surprise.

Mammy nodded her head and said, "Queen, it's absolutely true. This is the news our people just sent back from Yanxia Palace, saying that the Emperor pushed Zi Fei to the ground and didn't even bother to help her, so he hurriedly I went to the imperial study room to discuss matters, and even called several adults into the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures together!"

After Han Ruyi was shocked, she calmed down.

She grabbed the white folded-eared cat lying on the bed of the imperial concubine next to her and held it in her arms. She gently stroked the fat cat's head and said to herself: "He was too impatient. When the late emperor passed away, he couldn't wait any longer." You have to climb up to that position.”

"I remember that someone suggested to him at that time: Don't rush to proclaim himself emperor. If the people are not convinced, he should first become a regent or something."

"Even if he becomes emperor, he has to suppress the most competitive Six Emperors before he can feel at ease. What's more, the world is in chaos now and the four parties are divided. He refuses to listen and insists on his own way. In addition, the vixen Zi Yan's pillow wind blows. Don't stop, is it okay now? The Six Emperors have led their army to fight back, and the good days are coming to an end!"

The grandma next to me was very anxious when she heard this.

"Hey, my dear, others can say this, but you can't!" said the nanny.

"Even though His Majesty was a little hasty when he ascended the throne, now it's a done deal. He is the emperor of our Daqi, and you are the queen..."

"Hey, what about the emperor and empress?" Han Ruyi rolled her eyes and interrupted her.

"The emperor's imperial edict will not work outside this capital. Mammy, have you seen the emperor here? Anyway, I have never seen it."

"Besides, people outside are calling us fake emperors and fake queens. We are really being laughed at. Now that the army is approaching, he is going to be finished, and I, Han Ruyi, will also be ruined. At the beginning, I was the most talented woman in the capital. Why?

Just marry him blindly?"

Han Ruyi looked sarcastic and disappointed, and shook her head, already tired of life.

Grandma was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this for now. The first priority is to think about what we should do!" she said.

"It is reported that the Sixth Prince's army has already arrived at the city..."

Han Ruyi interrupted her and said, "There are soldiers everywhere inside and outside the capital. We can't escape. What can we do even if we escape?"

"When you come, take care of it, and if you die, die. Anyway, I'm tired of living such an uninteresting life."

"Empress..." Grandma knelt down.

Han Ruyi hugged the fat cat and stroked the smooth hair on the cat's body unhurriedly.

"By the way, there is one thing I have to do!" Han Ruyi said suddenly.

"Even if I die, I will take her with me and never let her have an easy time!"

…

Yanxia Palace.

Zi Yan had just put on the clothes of a palace maid, and put her banknotes and jewelry in a bundle. As soon as she opened the door of her bedroom, she saw several palace maids standing at the door.

The nun at the head had a coffin-like face and was looking at herself with disdain.

"Purple Concubine, where are you going when you are dressed like this?" Mammy asked coldly.

Zi Yan panicked, took two steps back, and looked away.

"The emperor asked me to dress up like this and go to the imperial study to serve him. You know the emperor's changing preferences." Zi Yan tried her best to sound more confident.

Grandma continued to sneer.

"Really? But we just came from the imperial study room and heard that the emperor was discussing state affairs with the ministers. The purple concubine should go to see the saint later. Come with us to see the queen first!"

"No, I won't go!"

Zi Yan was in a hurry. It would definitely be bad if she went to see Han Ruyi at this time.

She subconsciously wanted to rush out of the house, and wanted to shout for help, but the maids and eunuchs in the courtyard had been dismissed by her before, and now there was almost no one there.

Before Zi Yan could take two steps, she was caught by the palace maid brought by Mammy. Mammy stepped forward, took out a piece of handkerchief from her sleeve and covered Zi Yan's mouth and nose. Zi Yan was still struggling before.

Immediately, his limbs became weak, his eyes became blurred, and he fell down.

The secret room of Kunning Palace.

After a few cold days, a basin of cold water was poured on Zi Yan's body.

Zi Yan shuddered, opened her eyes suddenly, and found that she was tied up and thrown on the cold ground, surrounded by walls made of stone, with torches on the walls.

And sitting on a stool in front of her was a gorgeous woman in brocade clothes and a phoenix hairpin.

If not the Empress Han Ruyi, who else could it be?

Zi Yan suddenly felt bad and struggled to say to Han Ruyi: "Empress, what mistake have I made that you have to lynching me like this? If the emperor knows about it, empress, you should know the consequences! Let me go quickly.

Got me!"

"hehe……"

Han Ruyi, who was sitting over there, chuckled twice.

"The emperor you are talking about is now surrounded by a large army. He is a clay Buddha and cannot save himself when crossing the river. How can he care about you?" Han Ruyi said casually.

Zi Yan was shocked and looked at Han Ruyi in horror.
