Suddenly, the voice of the imperial guards was heard outside the Imperial Study Room, which made Liu Mingzhi feel a little something bad in his heart. He looked at Li Ye who was tortured by the poisonous insects on the ground with a gloomy expression. Liu Mingzhi looked anxiously. Qinglian!
"Lian'er, remove the poison from His Majesty as soon as possible. No matter what happens outside the palace, don't be distracted. Everything has its own plan. Your mission is to help His Majesty get rid of the poison from the body as soon as possible!"
"I understand, husband, please be careful!"
Qinglian turned to look at Li Ye, who was rolling on the carpet, and tapped several acupuncture points on Li Ye's body with her jade fingers.
"Your Majesty, I'm offended!"
"The Gu worm is attached to your heart. It will take some time to pull it out. There will be some pain. I hope Your Majesty can endure it."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian who had started to help Li Ye remove the poison, and looked at the third princess who looked worried.
"Yan'er, while the imperial guards have not yet assembled in the imperial study, you should immediately go to the queen mother and the emperor's sister-in-law and invite them over. I estimate that my husband will most likely need them to step in to delay for a while. opportunity."
"Okay, I understand, I will go right away!"
At this moment, the third princess did not bother to say some polite words to Liu Mingzhi to take care of herself. She straightened her palace clothes and trotted towards the palace of Nangong Meng and Chen Jie.
Liu Mingzhi slowly took off the Heavenly Sword from his waist and looked at Lao Zhou beside him.
"Old Zhou, let's go to the front of the palace first! We can delay it for a while. As long as the Imperial Guards don't rush in, we will stand still."
Lao Zhou glanced worriedly at Qinglian who was performing some puzzling behavior, nodded and followed Young Master Liu towards the front of the imperial study room.
Although he is an innate master, he knows nothing about the art of poison.
It's true that I know it, but I really don't know how to solve it myself.
If it were planted in his body, he could force it out with his internal strength, but His Majesty has no martial arts skills at all, so he could only let King Bingjian, a concubine who is proficient in the art of poison, help eliminate the poisonous insects in His Majesty's body.
Liu Mingzhi and the two stopped in front of the imperial study room. One person stood guard on the side of the door and listened quietly to the footsteps outside the imperial study room door.
The footsteps of the Imperial Guards became more and more intensive, and the expressions of the two men naturally became more solemn.
The two were not worried that the Imperial Guards would rush in and surround them. What they were worried about was that the Imperial Guards would be deceived and regard them as the thieves who murdered Li Ye.
Listening to the heart-rending roar of Queen Li Ye, the two people's hearts were tightly twisted together.
With such a movement, people who don't know about it will definitely think that the people in the palace are doing something detrimental to Li Ye.
Ask yourself, if you were the imperial guard outside the palace, you would definitely think wrong if you didn't know the truth.
"Quick, surround the imperial study!"
Liu Mingzhi's face became gloomy as he listened to more and more footsteps outside the hall.
The imperial guards patrolled the Ouchi Palace for twelve hours non-stop, and it was not surprising to find Li Ye's shrill voice in the imperial study room. After all, they had to protect Li Ye's safety. If they couldn't find this, they would He is no longer worthy of wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard.
But the time from the discovery of the movement in the imperial study to the time when the imperial guards gathered in the imperial study was too short.
Although the palace is not big, it is certainly not small. It is really unreasonable for all the imperial troops of such a large scale to arrive in such a short period of time.
If it were Li Yunlong, Li Baihong and his brothers, it would be understandable that the Forbidden Army could be so fast before the rebellion, but now half of the Forbidden Army are newly recruited recruits, and their speed is too fast.
It's shockingly fast.
Compared to the group of tiger and wolf warriors under his command, the elite army was no less generous.
Thinking of what Fu Hai said before, Liu Mingzhi frowned.
It seems that the sudden increase in patrolling imperial troops in the harem is no accident!
Liu Mingzhi could estimate the approximate number of footsteps outside the palace based on his experience in leading the army. Lao Zhou could also detect the approximate number of troops outside the imperial study with his innate master's perception.
"Your Majesty, the situation is not good. There are at least 20,000 imperial troops in the gaps between the palaces connected to the Imperial Study Room. They are surrounding the Imperial Study Room. There are also a large number of footsteps past the Fude Palace. It’s approaching the Imperial Study Room.”
"It seems that every move we make is under the control of Queen Ren Qingrui. Although the imperial army is elite, it takes less than a stick of incense to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the palace."
"We estimate that there is a high probability that we have fallen into the queen's trap."
"If there are 10,000 people, we can still fight. If there are 20,000 people, we can fight to the death and take the general's head. If there are more, we have no choice but to find a way to escape."
"If we want to leave, it will be easy, but Your Majesty, you and the princess are at risk."
Liu Mingzhi nodded solemnly: "Now we can only rely on Lian'er to help His Majesty get rid of the poison in his body as soon as possible. As long as His Majesty's safety is out of the control of the man in black he mentioned, there are not enough guards outside the palace. For concern."
"No matter how powerful the Emperor's order is, it cannot compare to His Majesty's personal presence."
Lao Zhou nodded heavily: "Then drag it on, Ruizong, Wu Zong has a spirit in heaven, and he must protect your majesty from this predicament."
The footsteps outside the royal study gradually stopped, and there was only a slight noise. Liu Mingzhi and Lao Zhou's hearts jumped, knowing that the forbidden army outside should have arranged an offensive and defensive formation.
Sure enough, the footsteps outside the palace were quiet in less than half a cup of tea, and a powerful voice shouted outside.
"My lord, Tong Yang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, has come to see His Majesty the Emperor. May I ask if His Majesty is okay?"
Li Ye, who was at the rear of the palace, was tortured to death by the poisonous insects, so naturally he did not have the strength to answer Tong Yang's questions outside the palace.
"My lord, Tong Yang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, has come to see His Majesty the Emperor. May I ask if His Majesty is okay?"
After two consecutive inquiries and no reply, Tong Yang frowned and put his hand on the handle of the knife: "There is something wrong with the situation in the Imperial Study Room. I am ordering my brothers to prepare to rescue Your Majesty!"
"Got the order!"
The deputy capital commander You Wenzhuo waved the command flag in his hand to convey Tong Yang's order. In an instant, Yang Tai and other five imperial guards commanders immediately ordered the impenetrable imperial guards surrounding the imperial study to prepare for an attack.
Listening to the sounds of swordsmen being unsheathed and bows and arrows being strung outside the palace, Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath, opened the palace door and walked out.
"You guys give up. Without His Majesty's order, who allowed you to gather in large numbers and surround the Imperial Study? Do you want to rebel?"
Looking at Liu Mingzhi walking out of the palace in a hurry, except for Yang Tai, the other generals of the Forbidden Army were a little surprised. They didn't know when Young Master Liu entered the palace.
The commander-in-chief Tong Yang saluted Young Master Liu with his sword in hand.
"At the end of the year, Tong Yang, the commander of the imperial army, met King Bingjian. He is a thousand years old."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the Imperial Army that surrounded the imperial study on all sides, and breathed out softly: "General Tong, what does this mean? Do you know what the crime is for leading troops to surround the imperial study for no reason?"
"Report to the prince, the general will naturally know, but..."
He looked into the imperial study room with the same hesitant look: "But at the end of the day, I heard from the patrolling officers that there was a strange noise in the imperial study room, which seemed to be His Majesty's voice. It seemed that His Majesty was suffering great pain!"
"The general was worried that some thieves had kidnapped His Majesty, so he had no choice but to lead troops to protect him."
"Oh? General Tong said that this king is the thief who kidnapped His Majesty?"
"I dare not, I have no such intention. May I ask how your Majesty is doing now? Can I bring someone to pay your respects to His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is unwell. I am sending someone to treat your Majesty. If I don't want to disturb you at this time, can you wait a moment?"
