Emperor Yong'an has been bedridden since the second day of March, and has not been in court for five days. According to the emperor's dictation, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is now the regent, and four other cabinet ministers are assisting the government.

King Shou was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. None of the people he sent out to hunt down Lu Zhan before came back alive. It is estimated that King Qi has already taken action.

He has been anxious these few days, and this regent decree undoubtedly pointed to the candidate for the future heir. Even though Concubine Wan Shu repeatedly testified that Emperor Yong'an was just accidentally caught in a cold, King Shou did not care about the timing and decided to force the palace The time for usurping the throne will be a few more days ahead of time, and it will be on the seventh night of March when the forbidden army is exchanged. At that time, we will cooperate with the mother and concubine Wan Shi, and then falsely pass the imperial decree to control the king of Qi and the king of Chu in the palace for secret execution. The world is naturally in his pocket.

King Shou has great ambitions, but his resourcefulness is obviously lacking. In addition, he has always been arrogant and does not listen to advice. As time goes by, those good advices and good advice gradually diminished, and he still thinks he is wise and brave.

In this big move, King Shou still believed that he acted carefully and did not reveal any clues, but he didn't know that his plan had long been under the control of King Qi. The eunuchs serving tea in the Yuan Palace were all from King Qi.

It was night, dark clouds covered the waning moon, and the city of Shangjing was also raging with wind and clouds. The 5 horses mobilized by King Shou from the fief were secretly lurking in a barren hill three miles away from the east gate. Concubine Wan Shu has already bought off the commander of the Imperial Army from the Dragon's merits. As long as Emperor Yong'an is under control at that time, he can coerce the emperor to order the princes. It is best to let him write the imperial edict, and the king of life will be justified. The inheritance of the Datong.

But there was still an hour before the change of defense, King Qi suddenly asked to see his father, saying that if he had reported it, King Shou, who had just sneaked into the Forbidden Palace, had to decide to do it in advance, so he took the lead, followed by thousands of Forbidden soldiers all the way March to the emperor's bedroom.King Qi and his followers were naturally blocked outside the imperial city.

When King Shou thought that he was about to get the throne he had dreamed of, he was extremely excited. He first ordered someone to kill several eunuchs and guards who were guarding the gate, and then he kicked open the door of the bedroom. As soon as he stepped in, a shiny saber was hung around his neck. King Shou, who had dreamed of being an emperor just a moment ago, was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look back at his captors. who is it.

The commander of the imperial army just wanted to step forward to rescue him, but was sniped at by the people behind him, and he raised his braids without even saying a whole sentence.

The imperial guards who accompanied him suddenly lost their minds. King Shou was under the control of others, and the main general had already died. Although they were numerous and powerful, if King Shou died, who would become the emperor and reward them with glory and wealth?

When everyone was undecided, there was a fire behind them. It was the Admiral of the Nine Gates who led the people through the palace gate, and they were about to kill them. There was no reason to hesitate now. One, so the thousand or so people immediately went their separate ways, and became a piece of scattered sand, and no one cared about the life and death of King Shou.

King Shou arranged for the men and horses guarding outside the city to see the flames and rush out as agreed, but was blocked by King Qi's men who had ambushed earlier at the city gate, and only a handful of people could pass through the blockade and enter the inner But when they arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Palace, they were dumbfounded. What awaited them was rows of rockets waiting on the tower, and they would be burned into fire hedgehogs just waiting for an order.

A young general in the lead knew that the situation was over, so he simply turned his head away and wantonly burned, killed and looted in the city, just trying to find a few more backs before he died.

At this moment, King Qi has arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace under the guard of courtiers and elite soldiers. King Shou was escorted to kneel in front of King Qi, but he was already mad.

The courtiers found the cold body of Emperor Yong'an in the bedroom, and he had been holding his breath for a long time, so the blame was naturally on King Shou.

When the Emperor Daxing and the crown prince were not yet determined, Su Fu, the chief eunuch who used to be by Emperor Yong'an's side, claimed that Emperor Daxing had left an imperial edict during his lifetime, and it was hidden under the dragon chair. The two heads of the four cabinet ministers It is also agreed that this is indeed the case, and there is also a brief imperial edict hidden in their family, which is confirmed by the three phases, which all indicate that it is the King of Qi who inherits the Datong.

At this point, King Shou's murder of the king and his rebellion were confirmed, and the candidate for the new emperor was determined. All that remained was to clean up the inner palace, prepare for the national funeral of the former emperor, and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

During this change of throne, Lu Zhan played the role of the bodyguard who lurked in the emperor's bedroom and hijacked King Shou just now. This credit can be said to be second to none among the crowd that night, but at this moment he can't care about the congratulations of his colleagues. Instead, he left the palace in a hurry and headed straight for Ruyi Lane on the east side of Yujie. He heard that the remnants of the Shouwang who had just been dispersed were killing people and setting fire in the city, doing their final madness. It is the busiest and most dangerous place.

Xiang Wan has been busy with the cloth shop recently, so he hasn't been to Ke Ruyunlai for many days. It just so happens that on this day, the owner of the leading Daikin store on Yujie came to discuss cooperation, and he specified that he wanted to meet Ke Ruyunlai's owner , so Xiang Wan deliberately drove over from Wangfu Street.

After the cooperation was reached and the guests were sent away, she lingered in the store for a while longer. After dinner, it was already three quarters of the unitary.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiang Wan took Zhu'er and hurried back in the car.Because I came in a hurry today, I didn't bring a servant to escort the cart, only the coachman drove the cart outside.

As soon as the carriage reached Yujie, there was a commotion outside, and even the carriage stopped slowly.Zhu Er yelled twice, but the coachman outside didn't respond, so she opened the curtain and looked out, her face turned pale with fright.

"Miss, come out, something serious happened."

"Why are you so flustered?" Xiang Wan was just about to say that Zhu'er was making a fuss, but when she opened the curtain to take a look, she suddenly lost her composure.

The buildings on both sides of the entire imperial street have turned into a sea of ​​flames. There are people crying and fleeing everywhere on the street. The coachman had disappeared. Seeing this situation, Xiang Wan's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp. Neither of them knew how to drive, so Xiang Wan had to grit his teeth and hurriedly pulled Zhu'er out of the car and ran back, saying that he was running. , It's just that the legs and feet seem to be out of order. Seeing the red light coming like a cloud swaying in the wind, it's so far away that it seems that they can't run anywhere in a lifetime.

Probably the carriage that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road attracted the attention of the remnants of the soldiers. Someone saw two young ladies get off the carriage by the light of the fire, and they staggered all the way into the alley, and immediately headed towards this side kill over here.

100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, Xiang Wan never knew that the road was so long. Seeing the customers coming like a cloud, the clerk greeted the customers at the door, and through the window, he could see Dai Quan paying the bill at the counter. Dali grabbed the two of them violently, and dragged them back.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking free, Zhu'er bit the man's tiger's mouth with one bite. The murderer didn't expect Zhu'er to bite, so he let go of Xiang Wan's hand, and Zhu'er took the opportunity to push Xiang Wan quickly. One, and shouted, Miss, run.

As soon as Xiang Wan took two steps out instinctively, she realized something was wrong. When she turned around to save Zhu'er, the murderer raised his hand and stabbed Zhu'er right through with a knife.Xiang Wan didn't know where the brute force came from, and pushed the murderer away, but in a moment, the man reacted and grabbed Xiang Wan's neck with both hands, and Xiang Wan was still able to kick his legs up and down first. Struggling, as her breath weakened, she seemed to see the road to the underworld in her previous life again.

Should this life end here?But I am really not reconciled: my younger brother has not yet grown up, my father has not been redressed, the family business has not been revitalized, and my life is not yet complete.

Just when his vision was blurred, the hands on his neck suddenly loosened, and a familiar face appeared before Xiang Wan's eyes in the firelight, like a god, Xiang Wan even thought, is it possible that people will always see him when they are dying? Someone you miss?

However, Lu Zhan didn't give her a chance to think wildly. It's not safe right now, and he didn't care about the defense of men and women, so he just picked up Xiang Wan and rushed towards Ke Ruyun.

Xiang Wan regained her breathing, but woke up in a blink of an eye. She struggled to get out of Lu Zhan's arms, and called Zhu'er in a hoarse voice.

Lu Zhan couldn't help it, so he had to put Xiang Wan down first, and always pay attention to the movement in the alley. He could still deal with three or five remnants of soldiers. If he encountered a group of people, he would not be fully sure.

"Miss, I, am I about to die?" The knife on Zhu'er's body had been pulled out by the villain just now, and she was lying in a pool of blood at the moment.

"Pearl, hold on, we'll be safe soon, you see, Mr. Lu is here to save us, we'll be fine."

"Miss, you bullied me stupid again, but this time I won't be fooled. I feel so cold now. My mother was like this when she was dying."

"No, I don't allow you to say such frustrating words. You said you would take care of me for the rest of your life. If you dare to close your eyes, I will never forgive you. Did you hear that?"

"I'm sorry, miss, I can't be with you forever, but I'm really content to meet you and sister Jiu'er, really..." Zhu'er's bleeding chest stopped rising and falling, and Xiang Wan hugged her. Her gradually cooling corpse wailed loudly, and it was the first time in her life that she lost her composure.

Lu Zhan saw several black shadows approaching the intersection, and in desperation, he had no choice but to beat Xiang Wan unconscious, and carried her straight to Ke Ruyunlai.

"What did you say? What happened to the Young Master's house?" Dai Quan looked at Xiang Wan being carried in by Lu Zhan, and he didn't know what happened outside.

"The situation is critical, so hurry up and ask people to close all the doors and windows, let everyone gather here, and tell the guests not to panic, just say that there are bandits outside, and tell them not to go out for the time being."

"Hey, I'm going right now."

"In addition, prepare more water. If those people can't get in, they may set fire. If there are any flammable items, they should be moved to the yard first. It will be too late. I have to go out first. You must Guard the gate, and wait for me to move the troops back."

"It's so dangerous outside, how can you go out and take risks? Let's avoid it first."

"They're already killing people. If no officers and soldiers come, we'll just sit and wait. Time is running out, so I'll go first." After speaking, Lu Zhan took out his sword and sneaked out of the backyard, not forgetting to cover the door. A few broken cylinders.

Xiang Wan was placed in the counting room, but he woke up after a while. When he heard that Lu Zhan rushed out to move troops again, his heart rose in his throat: Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't beat those desperadoes who are eager to kill. Ah, if something happened to him, wouldn't I owe him another life?
