Commander Zhang pointed his sword at Emperor Tai'an, with a desperate madness: "Let your people retreat and let us out of the palace!"

Even if you are surrounded by elite Imperial Guards armed with bows and crossbows, you still have a chance to escape with the emperor in hand.

As long as you escape from the palace and the capital, you will have a way to survive.

"Has Commander Zhang ever thought about his family?" Commander Yang asked.

Commander Zhang's eyes flashed with pain, and his voice became colder and harder: "Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!"

At this point, there was no way he could take care of his family. Fortunately, he sent one of his sons to the south in advance, which at least left a trace of his blood.

"Commander Zhang is really cruel."

Commander Zhang sneered: "Even if I let the emperor go, can I be absolved? Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!"

Commander Yang's eyes were burning, and he glanced at the people following Commander Zhang: "What about you, are you going to follow Zhang Ze on the road to death? Now put down your sword and plead guilty. The emperor is merciful. At least you who have been deceived and bewitched will not be as guilty as your family, but if you are

It will be an unforgivable crime to follow Zhang Ze and continue to cause chaos."

What he said made the Imperial Guards who followed Commander Zhang look at each other with confusion.

Commander Zhang was worried that his men would be swayed, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't listen to what he says. If you really have to put down your weapons and plead guilty, there is only death waiting for us! The emperor is in our hands now. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to escape!"

"

"Really?" A low voice passed through the dark night and fell into Commander Zhang's ears.

Commander Zhang was stunned.

This voice was so familiar, so majestic, just like the voice he had heard countless times.

He lowered his head suddenly and looked at Emperor Tai'an in his hand.

Emperor Tai'an lowered his head helplessly, looking like he was terminally ill.

The emperor is still in his hands!

After confirming the situation, Commander Zhang should obviously be relieved, but he instinctively felt strongly uneasy.

This uneasiness reached its peak when he saw that serious face under the light of a torch.

"Your Majesty?" He lowered his head in astonishment and checked the hostage again. What he saw was clearly the seriously ill Emperor.

There was a commotion among those who followed Commander Zhang.

How could there be two emperors?

Emperor Tai'an stood still, with Commander Yang and Commander Li guarding him on the left and right. Under the firelight, the emperor's face was clearly visible. Although it was difficult to hide his sick appearance, his energy and energy were not comparable to those controlled by Commander Zhang.

"Here, what on earth is going on?" Commander Zhang was confused.

Commander Yang sneered: "Zhang Ze, open your eyes and see clearly, this is the emperor!"

"Impossible, what about him?" Commander Zhang pushed the hostage forward and looked with wide eyes under the light.

It was a face that was exactly the same as that of Emperor Tai'an - no, there was still a slight difference. This face was lifeless and very thin. He thought this difference was due to being too thin and out of shape.

"Ahem, cough, cough." The man held by Commander Zhang suddenly coughed twice, raised his head that had been half-hanging and stared at him, "Want to know who I am?"

Commander Zhang's pupils trembled.

Changed, the voice changed!

No, this person didn’t talk much before!

The voice sounded familiar to him, but because he was so shocked, his mind went blank and he couldn't remember the owner of the voice.

Without leaving everyone confused for too long, the man raised his hand and pulled off the thin mask.

Pulling off the mask with such brute force would cause considerable damage to the skin, but he seemed unconscious and didn't even frown.

"Prince!" Many people blurted out.

Commander Zhang was also shocked.

The person they had always regarded as the emperor turned out to be Wang He, the eunuch of the palm print, who suddenly fell ill a few days ago!

Looking at the similar heights and faces of Wang He and Emperor Tai'an, Commander Zhang finally understood.

Ever since it was reported that Wang He, the palm eunuch, had contracted a serious illness, it was not Emperor Tai'an who was lying on the bed in Qianqing Palace, but Wang He.

This has been a trap from the beginning, and now they are all living bastards trapped in the urn!

After thinking about this, Commander Zhang turned pale and was left with only despair.

"Aren't you still going to plead guilty?" Emperor Tai'an asked expressionlessly.

It sounded like an understatement, but it was like a huge stone falling on the hearts of the rebels.

They looked at me and I looked at you. I don’t know who let go of their hand and the long knife hit the ground.

The floor tiles were cold and hard, making a crisp sound.

The sound of impact seemed to break through some kind of shackles, and soon there was a clanging sound, and these forbidden troops rushed to throw away their weapons.

Commander Zhang knew that the situation was over, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Wang He, the palm eunuch who had been held by him, swayed and fell to one side. Someone immediately helped him and brought him to Emperor Tai'an.

"Your Majesty—" Wang He struggled to salute, but Emperor Tai'an stopped him and ordered him to be sent to see the imperial physician.

The night wind picked up, like a cold knife slicing people's faces, and the offenders knelt down in darkness. There was a suffocating silence in the scene.

Emperor Tai'an looked at the dumbfounded King Ping in this silence.

"I didn't expect that meeting my eldest brother again would be like this."

King Ping woke up from his dream and pointed at Emperor Tai'an: "You, you even plot against the Queen Mother!"

A sad look appeared on Emperor Tai'an's face, and he said lightly: "I'm just sick."

When he got sick, all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out, and even the queen mother couldn't bear it anymore.

It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the Tian family. In fact, it is even more cruel. Not only is there no father and son in the Tian family, there is also no mother and son.

At this point, King Ping knew that there was no way out. He glared at Emperor Tai'an with a distorted face: "Your eldest son was deposed, and your newly born younger son is too sick to be raised. You would rather adopt other nephews than never. You have thought about returning the throne to me, why are you so selfish and vicious!"

Emperor Tai'an suddenly lost interest in the conversation, waved his hand and said: "Get King Ping!"

Hula, a group of forbidden soldiers surrounded him, and King Ping struggled and shouted: "Let me go, I am the emperor, I am the right son!"

Emperor Tai'an closed his eyes, turned around and walked out, and met Concubine Zhuang who was coming in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Under the night, Concubine Zhuang looked anxious, and she had not fastened her cloak.

Seeing that it was Concubine Zhuang, Emperor Tai'an's expression softened: "Did Concubine hear the noise?"

"The little prince suddenly started crying. A young chamberlain from the Yungui Palace went to the Yuhe Palace to ask for instructions. On the way, he found a group of forbidden troops..." Concubine Zhuang realized later and thought about it, "Your Majesty, are you sick?" "

"We will talk about this later. You should go back to Yuhe Palace first." Emperor Tai'an hesitated for a moment, "Send someone to Yungui Palace to have a look. If there is anything wrong with the little prince, report it to the imperial doctor."

"Yes." Concubine Zhuang was half nervous and half relieved, and hurried away full of doubts.

Emperor Tai'an stood quietly for a moment and walked towards a palace.

In fact, his illness was not cured yet, and the palace was so big and dark, so he walked for an unknown amount of time before finally reaching it.

That is Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's bedroom.

When the palace gatekeepers saw the arrival of Emperor Tai'an, they all saluted. Some were secretly nervous, while others knew it well.

Even the pitifully thin moon was gone in the sky, and everything was pitch black.
