"Tell me how to hand over the jade seal!"
Xiao Jue strode over and grabbed the emperor's collar.
Eunuch Ming still wanted to stop him, but Xiao Jue kicked him away.
The empress and the prince's eyes were full of tears. When they wanted to step forward, they were stopped by the emperor's gesture.
Although the emperor's collar was being pulled, there were no ripples on his face. He said quietly: "It's not impossible to want the jade seal, but the premise is that everyone here except me must be let go."
Taifu Lin was shocked: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
The queen's voice trembled as she said, "If the emperor doesn't leave, neither will I."
The prince and several princes expressed their attitude that they would never abandon their father and leave.
Cheng Wanwan didn't expect that the emperor would propose such an exchange condition. If she were a minister here, she would definitely follow such a monarch to the death.
"Let everyone go?" Xiao Jue looked around and sneered, "These old courtiers will definitely publicize my deeds after they go out, making the previous dynasty uneasy, and my throne is really unstable. I can let go However, only the female family members can leave, and all the courtiers must be buried with you, the emperor!"
Not waiting for the emperor to speak.
Rongqing immediately took the Queen Mother's arm and said, "I'll help you get out of here first, and hurry up."
The Queen Mother took out her arm: "The Ai family is old. It doesn't matter whether they leave or not. The Ai family is here to accompany the emperor."
"I am not leaving either." The queen stood firmly behind the emperor, "I am willing to sleep with the emperor in life and death in the same cave."
Cheng Wanwan's eyebrows were solemn.
The former prince had a cruel personality and was capable of killing even innocent palace maids and eunuchs, let alone high-class female family members like them.
On the surface, they were told to go, but if they went this way, there would definitely be an ambush.
To stay is to die, and to leave is death.
It's better to leave a good name in front of the emperor.
Cheng Wanwan then spoke: "My wife's identity was given by the Emperor. In times of crisis, I will never abandon the Emperor!"
The ladies behind her expressed their opinions one after another, and most of them were willing to stay and advance together.
Rongqing's face was a little pale, which made her look like someone who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
She didn't understand. At this critical moment of life and death, what was the use of these women staying? It was better to leave first, leaving the green hills behind without worrying about having no firewood...
"Sui Shu, the Ai family really did not misjudge you." The Queen Mother pulled Cheng Wanwan to her side, "If you can successfully escape, the Ai family will definitely give you the honor you deserve."
She and the queen wanted to stay because they were the closest people to the emperor.
As for Sui Shu, she had just arrived in Beijing and had very little friendship with the royal family, but she was willing to accompany the emperor when others had not expressed their opinions. This sincerity was extremely valuable.
Rong Qing squeezed her palm tightly, her long nails digging into her flesh, but she felt no pain at all.
"What a grind!" Xiao Jue looked impatient, "If you don't want to leave, then you will all stay and be buried with you. As for the jade seal, I don't want it anymore. I'll kill you first!"
He drew out the sword from his waist and stabbed the emperor.
The Queen Mother frowned and opened her arms to block the emperor without hesitation.
All the ladies nearby screamed, and the men in black and the guards fought together.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Rongqing raised his hand and pushed hard towards Cheng Wanwan - since you like to please the Queen Mother so much, then go to hell!
Her strength was extremely strong, she aimed at the sword in Xiao Jue's hand and pushed Cheng Wanwan out hard.
Cheng Wanwan had been digging something into her sleeves, but she was pushed unexpectedly, and her back hit Xiao Jue's sword.
Although she wore stab-proof clothing, it didn't mean she wouldn't be injured. When the sharp sword struck, her back would still hurt.
The Queen Mother didn't know that Rong Qing had pushed Cheng Wanwan, thinking that Cheng Wanwan had once again blocked a fatal blow for her. Her eye circles suddenly turned red: "Sui Shuren, are you okay..."
"So you are from Suishu!" Xiao Jue stepped on Cheng Wanwan's wrist, "When people mention Suishu people, they marvel at it. In the eyes of His Highness, it is nothing more than that. It is also your life that is declining. Standing in front of her... After so many years, people who are as timid as mice are still so timid. In critical moments, they always push others to block the gun. Tsk tsk, Queen Mother, didn't you ask me how Duan Min died back then? I just I will tell you with great mercy..."
"It's not good!" Rongqing suddenly exclaimed, "Sui Shuren's hand is bleeding a lot!"
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted. Cheng Wanwan's wrist was stepped on by Xiao Jue, and there was a sharp stone on the ground that cut his wrist. Blood slowly seeped out, which looked very scary.
Cheng Wanwan didn't pay attention to his injuries, but looked at Rong Qing suspiciously.
Rongqing had always wished she was dead, so why did he suddenly become concerned about her injuries... Wait, what did Xiao Jue just mention? It seems to be the truth about Princess Duan Min's death?
He Xiao leaped over fiercely and kicked Xiao Jue hard.
Xiao Jue casually pulled a man in black to block the kick and stepped back uncontrollably.
Cheng Wanwan was free and was helped to stand up by Mrs. Ruan.
"Good skills." Xiao Jue licked his lips, raised his hand and said, "Everyone retreat and light the fire!"
In a head-on confrontation, there will be countless casualties on his side.
He was originally short of manpower, and every soldier he could save was a soldier.
All the men in black immediately headed towards the north gate.
Cheng Wanwan took out the smoke bomb he just bought in the system store from his sleeve.
It was just because of this thing that I fell in love with Rong Qing.
She said coldly: "Everyone, remember the direction of the north gate. After I count one, two, and three, we will evacuate from the north together!"
No one understood what she meant.
Bang bang bang!
The smoke bomb in her hand hit the ground, and thick white smoke suddenly filled the entire underground palace.
Fortunately, no one ignored her words. Although their sight was blocked, everyone remembered the north and helped each other to go north.
And those people under Xiao Jue, when they came to the underground palace for the first time, did not remember the north gate, so they lost their way, and there were voices asking each other everywhere...
Cheng Wanwan stood at the back of the north entrance. When a man in black came over, she immediately took advantage of the chaos and threw a few more smoke bombs.
The underground palace is full of smoke, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction, nor the enemy from ourselves.
He Xiao led everyone out of the north gate and finally arrived at a spacious platform. There were no men in black here for the time being, so it was barely safe.
Mrs. Ruan counted the number of people and said solemnly: "With more than twenty people missing, I don't know if we can successfully escape..."
The Queen Mother said slowly: "Misfortune depends on blessings. Separating yourself from the royal family may be the only way to survive."
"That's right, you can survive by being separated from me." The emperor said, "He Xiao, I now order you to leave with all the female relatives and courtiers without wasting any more time. After you go out, you must tell Xiao Jue what he did. If what he has done is made public, he will be punished by everyone in the world, and he will never have peace!"
The queen stepped forward and held the emperor's hand. She said nothing, her attitude said everything.
The prince came out and knelt on the ground: "My son and my father are similar in stature. Please let me put on my father's dragon robe and lure Xiao Jue away!"
When the emperor was about to refuse, the queen said: "This is the boldest decision the prince has made since he became the prince, and I also agree to this."
Pain appeared in the Queen Mother's eyes: "The Ai family also agrees."
The prince is still young, and if he walks out of here alive, he will never be able to stabilize the country.
If you have to choose between the emperor and the prince, you can only choose the emperor.
The Crown Princess stepped forward with tears in her eyes: "My daughter-in-law, please change into the queen's phoenix robe..."
The Crown Princess was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was young and had thin arms and legs. She looked very weak. She had just fallen and couldn't walk.
Cheng Wanwan said: "The Crown Princess is too thin, why not let the concubine do it. The concubine is as tall as the Queen. After changing her clothes and hairstyle, she will be able to confuse those gangsters."
It's not that she has to show off, but anyone who pretends to be a queen here will be killed.
She has many trump cards. She can not only protect herself, but also delay time for the royal family to escape...
She risked her life to save the royal family today, so tomorrow, the royal family will spare no effort to protect her and her children.
This deal is a good deal.
