However, due to the simultaneous effects of alcohol and lust, his body immediately felt weak. Several palace maids quickly came forward and supported her together. Qi Zhenzhen's confused mind was a little confused at this time. Pushing the palace maid slightly, she said with a smile: "I'm not impatient yet, why are you so anxious first?"

The maids were too embarrassed to reply, they just held her up and did not dare to move. Qi Zhenzhen was still laughing, but suddenly heard the sound of armor coming from behind.

Knowing that it was Xie Yun who came in a hurry, Qi Zhenzhen felt extremely arrogant on her face, and said frivolously: "How come General Xie has been gone for so long? Why bother for Xinghua?" As she said this, she turned her head Come.

Sure enough, it was the heroic Xie Yun, and she even saw that he was accompanied by the equally handsome imperial guard generals Qin Yan and Yuan Wuchu.

She was surprised at first, and then turned into extremely pleasant surprise. She also squinted her eyes and glanced at the three young generals. When she was about to speak again, she saw Xie Yunxian saluting seriously and saying: "I beg the Queen Mother to allow me to meet Your Majesty in person!"

Qi Zhenzhen frowned slightly and couldn't help but sneered and said, "Why are you mentioning him now?"

"A scout has come to report that Jin Rong from Taiyuan County has rebelled and led his troops southward!" Xie Yun replied again.

Qi Zhenzhen was immediately shocked and stammered: "What, such a thing could happen?!"

"Confirm!" Yuan Wuchu replied loudly, "Your Majesty only said that he was ill, so he asked the Queen Mother to issue an order to detain Jin Bin and immediately stop Jin Rong!"

"This, needless to say!" Qi Zhenzhen was trembling with anger, "Take Jin Bin to the alley of Yeting and hang her immediately! The generals will quickly inform the Prime Minister and Situ. Oh, by the way, please quickly invite Situ to return to the government. !”

After she continued speaking, Xie Yun and others took the order without hesitation. The palace became deserted again, and Qi Zhenzhen remembered it again, and quickly ordered the chamberlain: "Go quickly! Don't let the emperor become seriously ill!" The chamberlain was stunned after hearing this, and immediately ran to the emperor's palace.

After all, Qi Zhenzhen drank a lot of medicinal wine, and her body was already in a state of difficulty. There was no other way, so she had to hold on to the sleeves of the palace maid and chamberlain. Unable to stand still, several people fell onto the phoenix couch together.

Not long after, the chamberlain ran back in panic. Seeing the chaos on the phoenix couch, he could only whisper anxiously: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Emperor is already here."

Qi Zhenzhen's body was trembling greatly, and she said with blurred eyes: "Okay, okay. I have another trick, and I can resist it." As she said that, she laughed mischievously.

After dawn, Qi Zhenzhen sat alone in the court hall, looked at the ministers and said coldly: "The emperor accidentally caught a cold, and then he was sad and seriously ill because of the death of the little prince. Gu will act as the official in the government for the time being, and another royal heir will be selected to be the crown prince. "

All the courtiers did not dare to disobey and shouted "Your Majesty is safe and sound, the Queen Mother is wise" and so on. Qi Zhenzhen then said: "Jin Rong boldly conspired to rebel. He ordered the execution of Liu Zixing, the former King of Guangling, and Jin's concubine in the harem who participated in the plan. Then Xie Yun and others came to resist, and even issued an edict to the Regent, King Jing'an, and others. King Xiao Nanchen and First Class General Longhu rushed back to rescue..."

After hearing this, all the courtiers felt a little at peace and began to sing again.

Jin Rong led his elite troops to quickly go south, hoping to reach Zhongzhou as soon as possible. As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. He knew that if he could not capture Zhongzhou with one blow and control Emperor Liu Hui, Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen, and a group of courtiers, he would not be able to resist Zhou Shengchen's counterattack. Not to mention Zhou Shengchen, his nearby Dingbei King Gao Yuchao also sent troops to pursue him.

While he was rushing towards them, Jin Rong heard several bad news one after another. First of all, Gao Yuchao and others are coming, and secondly, Xie Yun leads his troops out of Zhongzhou to resist. What makes Jin Rong sad again is that his internal collaborator Liu Zixing and his beloved daughter Jin Bin have been executed.

Not to mention these, he also learned from the scout reports that Xiao Nanchen King Zhou Shengchen and Fengyang King Xiao Yan were running back to attack in different directions.

Old and new hatreds work together in Jin Rong's heart, prompting him to unleash all his wildness. He simply gave up. While dividing his troops to resist Gao Yuchao, he re-recruited all the troops in Taiyuan County and launched a fierce attack on Zhongzhou.

Zhou Shengchen and Xiao Yan in the south have indeed generally stabilized Jiangnan and are returning with their troops.

They originally pursued Xiao Xu and other generals who were fleeing in different directions, but finally surrounded them in Chenzhou County, Guiyang County.

Xiao Xu was trapped in the valley, looking around at the royal army's flags, and could only lament. The general next to him had no choice but to grit his teeth and plead for orders: "Please lead your troops to the south and continue to break through, and the general will resist from behind!"

Xiao Xu couldn't help sighing, and said with tears: "I have reached the end of the mountain, and there is a sense of 'sun' here again. I can't bear to see you all fighting with your life again, so why don't you tie me up and give it to King Xiao Nanchen and others? People, it can be regarded as saving the lives of more people.”

Xiao Xu said with emotion that everyone had indeed been cared for and favored by him. Listening to his words at this time, everyone cried together.

In any case, it is already impossible for them to break out of the current encirclement.

After months of fighting, it was already the end of the year and the nights were still cold. At night, Xiao Xu and other soldiers could only look forward to the arrival of the morning sun and hope with fear and trembling bodies.

In the large tent outside, Zhou Shengchen and Xiao Yan were sitting silently by the bonfire. Of course Xiao Yan's mood was very complicated, and there were veins on his forehead and fists exposed.

From his point of view, no matter how much Xiao Xu was a relative, no matter how well he governed Jiangnan and was gentle to the people, he was ultimately a villain who killed his father and insulted his mother.

But Xiao Yan also knew that from the perspective of the world's overall plan, it was extremely easy to kill Xiao Xu, but it was not easy to quickly pacify the vast Jiangnan region. After all, Xiao Xu had always implemented benevolent policies, and the people in Jiangnan relied on him very much and were kind to him.

After Zhou Shengchen persuaded him, he only let him think about it by himself, so Xiao Yan was confused and remained silent.

After a long silence, Zhou Shengchen said again: "Prince Fengyang, please listen to what I have to say again." Xiao Yan immediately raised his hands and replied: "How dare you hinder my king from speaking."

Zhou Shengchen nodded and said slowly: "Capture Xiao Xu alive and order him to publicly apologize and show his guilt to the south of the Yangtze River. Then banish him to Jiaozhi and make him unmarried and have no heirs for the rest of his life. All the original heirs were renamed and sent to the north of the Yangtze River, and they were not allowed to follow him. For him..."

Listening to what he said, Xiao Yan burst into tears and just nodded silently.

Zhou Shengchen put his hand on his shoulder and said comfortingly, "He is your uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan felt so complicated that he burst into tears and could no longer say a word.

Although Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Xu killed his father, he did not know the reason. But whether it was due to brotherly quarrel or even because Xiao Xu had no choice but to do so, Xiao Yan did not want to investigate in detail at this time, let alone know about the bloody vendetta between the royal family.
